Seeing Qin Min shaking his head, Gu Beiyue quickly took off his coat and helped Qin Min put it on again. Qin Min frowned, and hurriedly backed away, keeping a distance of at least five steps from Gu Beiyue. She doesn't want it!
In fact, she guessed that he would react in this way, but she still wanted to try. She was really angry but at the same time she couldn't get angry, and in the end she could only cry and laugh.
Seeing Qin Min backing away like this, Gu Beiyue was momentarily at a loss, as if she knew she was wrong, but she didn't know where it was? He looked at Qin Min puzzled, his hands froze in the air. Qin Min kept quiet on purpose and stared at him! He was even more puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Min replied, "It's not warm, but it's not cold either."
Gu Beiyue paused, then laughed, and said, "Ma'am, what do you mean?"
Qin Min ignored him, tightly wrapped the cloak he gave him, turned and walked forward. Gu Beiyue quickly caught up, took the basket in her hand with one hand, and held her hand with the other. He felt relieved when he felt the warmth of her palm. His palms were also warm, but not cold.
Normally, unless something happened, as long as Qin Min didn't speak, Gu Beiyue would rarely take the initiative to find a topic. The two walked quietly to the top of the mountain, and the more they went to the top of the mountain, the louder the wind became. After a while, snowflakes floated in the air.
Qin Min stopped, and wanted to take off the cloak and return it to Gu Beiyue. Gu Beiyue smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold."
Seeing snowflakes falling on Qin Min's head, he quickly put on the hood of the cloak for Qin Min. Put on the hood of Qin Min's own cloak first, then put on the hood of his cloak, covering it tightly, and then took her hand again.
He wanted to leave, but Qin Min held him back.
He was about to ask, but Qin Min took his hand and looked at him carefully. Ever since he took the initiative to hold her hand, she secretly felt this kind of touch with her heart countless times, to feel the throbbing brought to her by holding both hands together. However, I have never really looked at his hands seriously.
Gu Beiyue's hands are still so pretty, slender and moist, with well-defined knuckles. The lines on his palm were few but distinct. Because of pounding medicine with a pestle all year round, there are some calluses on the tiger's mouth. You can't see it, but you can feel it when you touch it. Qin Min didn't speak, and took his hand with one hand, and gently stroked along the lines in his palm with the other hand.
Gu Beiyue asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Qin Min remained silent.
Gu Beiyue asked again: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"
Qin Min remained silent.
Gu Beiyue shut up, let her caress her gently, and obediently did not move.
Qin Min looked thoughtful, and after a while, she said, "Your hands are neither warm nor cold. Just like you."
It was only then that Gu Beiyue realized that the "neither warm nor cold" she just said was not referring to herself, but to him. He frowned slightly, as if thinking. At this time, Qin Min's fingers were gently inserted between his fingers, interlocking with his fingers.
She said, "Let's go."
Gu Beiyue clearly hadn't figured it out yet, but he turned passive into active and clasped Qin Min's fingers tightly.
The snow fell more and more, and when the two reached the top of the mountain, there was a thin layer of snow on the trees on the top of the mountain and on the ground. There is a small courtyard on the top of the mountain, and everything in the courtyard is arranged according to Yan'er's memories. If people who don't know the truth come, they may think that there really is a pharmacist living on the top of this mountain.
Qin Min and Gu Beiyue came to the stele erected by Yan'er. "Yangui's Place" was inexplicably giving people a kind of hope in the snowy sky, like waiting for the return of spring in the cold winter.
Qin Min took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped the stele. She asked: "You said that if there really is an afterlife, will his little Yan'er return?"
Gu Beiyue nodded and said, "Yes."
Qin Min smiled, and said, "You also new the theory of reincarnation in the past, present, and afterlife?"
Gu Beiyue said: "If you don't believe it, then you don't know where you came from, and you don't know your way back. That person is really a rootless duckweed."
He said, smiled, and said: "So, let's believe it."
Qin Min immediately retorted: "According to what you said, the place where people come from and the way back is their own."
Gu Beiyue really meant that, he nodded.
Qin Min glanced at him, and said: "False! When a person comes from, he should be his parents, and when he goes out, he should be another person."
This time, Gu Beiyue immediately understood what Qin Min meant. His understanding of the past and present is different from Qin Min's. He didn't argue, and easily let Qin Min go. He smiled lightly and said, "Ma'am is right."
After wiping the stele, Qin Min walked to the edge of the cliff and arranged the melons, fruits and drinks he brought.
Thousands of years ago, Gu Yunyuan plunged himself down on this mountain and died for the cauldron. He became an existence that was neither human, nor ghost, nor god, nor demon. . If you want to worship him, you can only come to this mountain.
Qin Min wondered if he hadn't come, would Gu Beiyue have been here to talk to his old ancestor? At this time, Gu Beiyue was a little quieter than usual. He stood on the edge of the cliff for a long time, not knowing what to think, and finally knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Qin Min knelt down and kowtowed, not only because he was a lonely daughter-in-law, but also because of the respect he had for Gu Yunyuan in his heart.
She stood up and turned to look at Gu Beiyue. In the flying snow all over the sky, even Gu Beiyue's profile was lonely, with a sense of independence from the world. She asked: "There is nothing to worry about in this world, is there anything you want to do?"
She was afraid that Gu Beiyue would not understand what she meant, so she purposely added: "The medicine king cauldron is in Yan'er's hands, and one medicine king cauldron can be worth several Shennong valleys. You don't have to worry about it."
With the recovery of true qi, the elixir has become a good medicine for life-saving and promotion of true qi. The importance of the alchemist is highlighted. And Yan'er, who owns the Medicine King Cauldron, is undoubtedly the most powerful alchemist. Qin Min was telling Gu Beiyue that even if they took over Shennonggu, they don't need to make Shennonggu a helper for their son and daughter-in-law. It's time for him to do what he wants to do.
Gu Beiyue seemed to have never thought about this question. He thought for a while before asking, "Ma'am, is there anything you want to do?"
Qin Min was surprised, but she quickly nodded, "Well, there are so many things I want to do."
Without even thinking about it, Gu Beiyue said, "Then I can accompany Madam."
Qin Min believed him. She believed everything he said, so she wasn't afraid that he wouldn't say anything. She suddenly became very serious and said, "Gu Beiyue, don't regret it!"
Gu Beiyue was also serious, "Yes."
Gu Beiyue waited for Qin Min to say what she wanted to do, but Qin Min didn't say it right away, but said to tell him when she was ready.
The snow is getting bigger and bigger. They stayed for a while, then went down the mountain. In snowy weather, it is difficult to go up the mountain, and even harder to go down the mountain. Before walking too far, Qin Min stepped on the ground and almost fell. Gu Beiyue carried her on her back, and she put her arms around Gu Beiyue's neck with her small face pressed against his back. While listening to his heartbeat, she fell into memories.
It was the New Year's Eve of the second year of Altered Ice...
