It was raining, and a mediocre-looking boy, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was running wildly in the rain.
The young man was already soaked, but he firmly protected the sandalwood box in his arms.
'Wow'
Suddenly, the young man's feet slipped, and he suddenly fell to the ground, and his body couldn't stop rolling forward.
But the boy let himself roll in the muddy water, while his hands tightly hugged the food box in his arms.
'bang'
Finally, the boy's body hit a tree, and the body rolling in the mud suddenly stopped.
The young man didn't care much and quickly got up and checked the sandalwood box in his arms.
When he found that the outside of the sandalwood box in his arms was only stained with a layer of mud, and the inside was not affected, he was relieved.
Then the young man held the sandalwood box and walked quickly again, continuing to run towards the destination.
After about a cup of tea, the young man finally came to the holy land in his heart, which was a quiet and beautiful sandman forest. Those tall and graceful sandman trees grew around like young women.
When the young man arrived outside the Shaman Forest, he was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he carefully walked into the Shaman Forest holding the sandalwood box.
When the boy walked deep into the Shaman Forest, he saw a quiet wooden house appearing in front of him.
The young man's heartbeat quickened, he carried the sandalwood box to the outside of the wooden house, raised his hand and knocked on the door of the wooden house.
After a moment, there was a soft creaking sound, the door slowly opened, and a charming face appeared in front of the young man.
Although he had seen it many times, the young man was still stunned the moment he saw this beautiful face.
The owner of Yuyan is a girl who is only about eighteen years old. The girl is dressed in white, her hair is tied up in a bun, and her appearance is extremely vulgar.
Her charming watery gaze first glanced at the young man, and then fell on the sandalwood box in the young man's hand. When she saw the mud on the sandalwood box, she couldn't help but frown.
"Dirty." The girl pointed at the sandalwood box and said.
The young man was startled, and then he realized what he was doing. Then he quickly took off his coat and wiped off all the mud on the sandalwood box with his clean inner coat. He then held the sandalwood box in both hands and smiled at the girl: "Wipe it clean." Don’t worry, Aya, it’s not dirty inside.”
The girl hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hands, but only used four fingers to hold the sandalwood box and took it.
After the girl took the sandalwood box, she turned around and entered the room. After a while, she had a pure white long scarf in her hand. The girl handed the long scarf to the young man and said, "Wipe it off."
The boy looked at the fragrant long scarf in the girl's hand and immediately took it with great excitement. Then he stood under the eaves with a silly smile and began to wipe his face with the long scarf.
The girl turned around again, closed the door, and never appeared again.
The young man had long been accustomed to it. After wiping the rain off his face and head with a long towel, he folded the long towel and held it in his hand with great care, and then waited quietly under the eaves.
In this way, the young man waited for nearly an hour. When the clothes on his body had been warmed and dried by his body, the door was reopened.
The boy hurriedly turned around and saw that the girl's face was more rosy and beautiful than before, her eyes were rippling and radiant.
The boy was stunned again, but this time the girl spoke softly: "Go back."
The young man woke up, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Aya, where is the sandalwood box?"
The girl named 'Aya' said calmly: "The sandalwood box is dirty, I have thrown it into the stove."
"Ah?" The young man couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Aya said in surprise: "Do you still want that sandalwood box?"
When the young man heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, just burn it. It's dirty anyway." The young man's face was full of a flattering smile.
As he said that, the young man suddenly remembered something and quickly handed the long scarf in his hand back and said: "Aya, your jade scarf."
Aya glanced at the jade scarf that was also covered in mud, and then said calmly: "No more."
The young man was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Can you give it to me?"
Aya said in a calm tone: "If you like it, then take it."
The young man was so happy that he immediately put the long scarf into his chest and said to Aya, "Thank you, Aya."
Aya raised her head and glanced at the sky. The rain had stopped, so she said, "It's getting late. You should go back first."
The young man nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll bring you spiritual ginseng next time."
"Yes." Aya responded lightly, then closed the door directly, and there was no movement.
The young man just looked at the door and smiled foolishly, then turned around and left Sha Manlin.
The young man's name was Huo Xunyan, and he was from Hualing City, Miaofa, Nanzhan Buzhou.
Huo Xunyan's home is located in the city. It has red walls, green tiles, and tall corridors. At first glance, it doesn't look like a small family.
But when Huo Xunyan returned home, he took a shower and changed clothes under the service of his servants. After changing into clean clothes, he was called to the main hall by his parents.
Huo Xunyan's father's name is Huo Xun'an, a well-known businessman in Hualing City, and his mother's name is Mi He, a young lady from the Mi family in Hualing City.
"Yan'er."
When Huo Xunyan came to the main hall to visit his parents, Huo Xun'an said to Huo Xunyan, "My family can no longer make ends meet."
Huo Xunyan was stunned when he heard this and said, "Dad, what do you mean?"
Mother Mi He rolled her eyes at Huo Xunyan, and then said, "My dear, why are you getting more and more stupid? Your father is saying that the money my family earns is no longer as fast as yours."
Huo Xunyan was still a little confused and said, "But Dad, I didn't spend much money."
"It didn't cost much?" Huo Xun'an stared at his son, speechless for a long time, and then said after a while: "You have to buy ten 300-year-old ginseng every month, and each one costs three thousand taels of silver. , from two months ago to now, you have spent 78,000 taels of silver. If you continue to spend like this, our whole family will be begging for food in three months at most."
Huo Xunyan was startled when he heard this, and then fell silent.
Mi He on the side said at this time: "My son, since you saved that 'Anya' last time, the daughter-in-law you mentioned has not seen me, but the money in this family has flowed out like running water."
When Huo Xunyan heard this, he immediately raised his head and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will marry Aya home soon, mom, look."
With that said, Huo Xunyan took out the long scarf and said, "This is the jade scarf that Aya gave me today."
When Huo Xun'an heard this, he immediately touched his forehead and sat back on the chair with a speechless face, not wanting to speak.
Mi He also looked at Huo Xunyan helplessly and said: "Son, you spent nearly 80,000 taels of silver, and if you don't ask me to marry you right away, what if I even give you a promise? What does it mean to give you a jade scarf?" Ah, you are so stupid and breathless."
Huo Xun'an also spoke at this time: "Yan'er, what does she really feel for you? Does she like you or not? What is her family's background? Where does she live? Do you know what her parents do? "
Huo Xunyan was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, "I don't know."
"Alas." Huo Xun'an and Mi He sighed immediately.
When Huo Xunyan saw his parents like this, he immediately said, "Father, mother, give me another month. I will definitely marry Aya home in one month."
Huo Xun'an and Mi He looked at each other, then Huo Xun'an turned around and said, "Yan'er, that girl is very beautiful and seems to be a decent person. Your mother and I have no objection. I'll give you another month." Time is fine, but if there is no result after a month, you have to give up, otherwise my family will really have to beg for food."
Huo Xunyan was immediately overjoyed. He nodded to Huo Xun'an and Mi He and said, "Don't worry, parents. I know what's going on."
So, in the next month, Huo Xunyan continued to spend a lot of money to buy spiritual ginseng, and sent it to Anya in a sandalwood box every three days.
During this period, Huo Xunyan also took the opportunity to express his love to Anya and hoped to sit at Anya's home and meet her parents.
But Anya used various reasons to shirk them, but Huo Xunyan did not give up. He still sent spiritual ginseng to Anya diligently without any complaints.
On this day, when Huo Xunyan knocked on Anya's door with a sandalwood box in his arms, he found that his expression was very different during today's massage. He was happy and worried at the same time.
When Huo Xunyan handed the spiritual ginseng to Anya and waited outside the house, it was said that he had never been invited into the house even though he had given so many spiritual ginseng to Anya, but Huo Xunyan didn't mind.
Finally, an hour after Anya finished taking the spiritual ginseng, the door opened again and Anya personally returned the sandalwood box to Huo Xunyan.
"Aya." Huo Xunyan saw Anya turning around and closing the door, and immediately called to her.
Anya turned around and looked at him, then said, "What's the matter?"
Huo Xunyan looked at Anya's indifferent face and felt very entangled in his heart. The date he agreed with his parents was getting closer and closer, and now he had to express his feelings to Anya again.
"If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly." Anya urged.
Huo Xunyan gritted his teeth, and then said: "Aya, I want to marry you, can you marry me? I made an agreement with my parents. If after giving away the spiritual ginseng this month, you and I still don't have the result, You won’t give me any more money.”
Anya's expression was slightly strange, and she stared at Huo Xunyan for a long time. Finally, with Huo Xunyan's extremely anxious and expectant expression, Anya asked, "Do you really want to marry me?"
Huo Xunyan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, I want to marry you in my dream."
When Anya heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and when Huo Xunyan saw the smile on Anya's face, he was completely stunned.
She laughed! Aya smiled at me, she had never smiled before! Huo Xunyan was very happy at this moment. He felt that it was worth dying now.
Huo Xunyan's heart was beating wildly, and at this moment Anya also looked at him and said, "If you can do one thing for me, I will marry you."
Huo Xunyan asked directly without any hesitation: "What's the matter? Aya, tell me."
The smile on Anya's face did not diminish, but her eyes gradually became deeper. She said slowly: "In three days, a group of novice monks will pass by Hualing City and stay for one night. They are ordered to bring a 'Three Treasures' The jade box engraved with a lion was sent to Huayan Bao Temple as a tribute to King Zhengshan Ming. I want that jade box. If you can bring that jade box to me, I will marry you."
