"You said it on the phone, is that true?"
We couldn't see each other on the phone, but now we talk face to face, it feels easier.
"It's true!"
She frowned slightly and her tone of voice was unnatural. It didn't seem serious. It doesn't sound like the truth now either.
"Oh, you came here to ask me for money?"
Maybe what she said was not a lie, but maybe she used that as an excuse to come here to have a tryst with him. So he didn't take it seriously and thought to himself: If that's the case, let's deal with her skillfully!
"Yes." Ye Ya glanced at Zuo Yunshan and came to his side, "Shall we take a walk?"
"where to?"
"Anyway, I can't say anything standing here, with everyone around me looking!"
"It's okay to take a walk. You don't have much time, right?"
This is a test. She just said that her cousin would return to the hotel in two hours. If she was telling the truth, Ye Ya would be limited in time; if she was lying, she would say that three hours doesn't matter, five hours doesn't matter, and so on.
She is a woman who cares about her desires regardless of anything else.
"what time is it now?"
"It's almost 12 o'clock."
"It can be until two o'clock."
I can’t say for sure now, maybe the time will be extended again at two o’clock. Zuo Yunshan thought.
"Hey, where is the quieter place in this area?"
"This is the suburbs, everything is secluded, and there are crop fields everywhere."
"I don't like places with terrible scenery. Are there no places with good scenery?"
"Yes, there is Tenmangu Shrine in the opposite direction from the station. It is a famous place."
"No, not over there. My cousin is over there right now. We'll run into her then."
It seems to be true.
"How about going there?" Ye Ya pointed to the front with interest.
"Over there?"
He couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Isn't it good? I asked the hotel maid."
"Ask, what's the question?"
"Go to the foot of Tianyun Mountain. There is a play based there. I like that play very much. It's so easy to come here, go and see it!"
"All right."
Zuo Yunshan walked resolutely towards the taxi on the square in front of the station, as if he was challenging something.
The taxi stopped at the end of a wide road. This is in the mountains, where many farmers live, and there is a bus stop sign on the roadside.
"Call a taxi and wait?"
"No, let the car go back. You can't have fun while the car is waiting. I want to have a good chat with you."
Ye Ya paid for the car.
"It's so quiet here, it's all mountains."
Ye Ya looked around.
"There are mountains on all sides, and we are in the mountains."
Zuo Yunshan looked at the surrounding scenery.
He was secretly happy. The slope of the mountain is covered with lush green trees, and black shadows are reflected in the cave.
"There is a temple on the mountain." Ye Ya said, looking at the stone path hidden in the fir forest.
"Yes." Something unexpectedly surged out of his heart, prompting him to say, "Would you like to go to the temple?"
"Okay, go ahead, I like temples."
"This is a mountain temple."
"I guess so. Oh, you look familiar. Have you been here before?"
"You've never been here before, you'll know it just by looking at it."
Zuo Yunshan walked in front. Probably out of fear, Ye Ya shouted:
"Wait for me, I'm afraid."
Zuo Yunshan looked back.
"Let's walk together. There might be snakes on the road."
Ye Ya grabbed Zuo Yunshan's wrist. Wearing a pair of medium-heeled leather shoes on his fat feet, he walked on the uneven stone path, leaning on Zuo Yunshan. Grass grows in the cracks between the rocks.
Because we were in a cedar forest, where the branches and leaves were dense, the road was dark and the air was moist.
We are now entering the depths of this mountain.
"Why?"
Ye Ya pulled his wrist hard. As soon as Zuo Yunshan stopped, she put her mouth on his, breathing heavily, and hugged his waist tightly. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves and onto the mountain road.
Ye Ya finally removed her lips.
"I miss you so much." He said, leaning his face on Zuo Yunshan's shoulder.
"Tell me about the money?"
"you are so bad!"
"Isn't that what you said?"
"This is one of them, but... don't talk about it now."
Ye Ya grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward.
"What happened? He actually sent someone to monitor you. Didn't he find out about us?"
"My husband is really starting to doubt me."
"But, you said you wanted money, is that true?"
"Oh, I brought this up again! We'll talk about it later. Don't think about anything now. I'm just with you, you know?"
Ye Ya shook her head and closed her eyes.
"Okay. Let's go see the temple!"
Ye Ya held his arm, bent over, spread her legs, unable to walk.
"Hey, is it still far to the temple? I'm tired. Can I sit down and rest for a while?"
Ye Ya seemed to be complaining all over her body.
Zuo Yunshan looked around. The red dirt path leads into the bush and disappears into the dark woods.
"Let's go! Go inside!"
Ye Ya nodded without hesitation.
He held the woman's hand and walked on the grass.
Ye Ya's white face looked up at the sky, and her white neck stretched out long. Among the hard dwarf bamboos and leaves, it was the only wild and weak object. Zuo Yunshan wanted to rush forward and strangle the white neck. He struggled with this temptation. Precisely because the neck was white and thick, his hateful and impulsive desires were even stronger. Now is a good time to get rid of this stupid woman. If I get rid of her, all the money she invested will be written off, and I will get rid of her entanglement...
Ye Ya still clings to Zuo Yunshan, unaware that danger is approaching...
