Du Yuze went shopping with a woman for the first time in his life, and then he realized that shopping with a woman was really a chore. But seeing her happy, he felt satisfied again and kept shopping with her. He visited almost all the shops in Qingcheng without a single complaint. Later, when Nalan Fengjin complained that she couldn't walk anymore and her feet were so sore, he carried her on his back in public, regardless of the eyes of people on the street.
After visiting another store, Nalan Fengjin didn't buy anything. The shopkeeper complained behind them: "I thought he was a rich man, but he turned out to be a poor man."
Du Yuze had never experienced such idleness. When he heard this, his eyes turned cold and he was about to turn around, but was pulled by Nalan Fengjin: "Walking around the world, you have to see and bear the faces of all kinds of people. You are no longer the noble young master you used to be." Now, you are the one who wants to share the joys and sorrows with A Jin."
Du Yuze narrowed his eyes and did not look back at the shopkeeper.
Nalan Fengjin said again: "This is how the world is. When you are aloof, all you see are flattering faces. When you lose your original identity, you have to learn to be patient. Du Yuze, I know this is difficult for you. , but I can do it, and so can you.”
Nalan Fengjin's last words were about his identity, but Du Yuze, who was deep in thought, didn't hear it. Du Yuze finally endured the anger in his heart, took Nalan Fengjin's hand and walked away.
When the two of them were tired from walking, they entered a tavern and ordered some wine and food.
While the two were eating, they heard someone next to them say: "Last night, the daughter of Zhang Xiucai in the east of the city was defiled and her body was abandoned in the wilderness. Alas, what kind of world is this?"
Another person said: "Alas, the world is in chaos now, there is collusion between officials and businessmen, bandits are running rampant, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes are weighing down our common people. Alas, life is getting harder and harder."
The man sighed and said: "This matter was probably done by the group of thieves in the east of the city. Alas, it's a pity that the daughter of Zhang Xiucai's family is only sixteen. She is filial and lovely. Just because her mother was ill recently, she took her mother's place. I went to wash a family's clothes by the river in Dongcheng. I didn't expect that I would be targeted by thieves. I lost my chastity and my life. I heard that the death was extremely miserable. Alas... how pitiful."
It was originally just a gossip, but Du Yuze didn't expect that the next day, Nalan Fengjin decided to go to the east of the city to wash clothes. He also patted Du Yuze on the shoulder and said to him: "You are lucky. Please wash your dirty clothes for me. You're welcome."
Hearing this, Du Yuze couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't have any dirty clothes at all. He gave all his dirty clothes to the poor people on the roadside. Now he was wearing new clothes. Although they were cloth clothes, they were still clean and fresh. But in order to satisfy Nalan Fengjin's desire to wash her clothes, she secretly took off this piece of clothing she was wearing and said it was dirty and took it for her to wash.
Looking back at Nalan Fengjin, she was not as particular as he was at all. This pile of dirty clothes was covered in every package. No wonder she wanted to do laundry, but why she had to go to the east of the city.
"You may not meet a murderous thief in one day, so two days, if not two days, three days. It doesn't matter if you have a lot of dirty clothes. Anyway, you have nothing to do, so wash them slowly." Du Yuze heard Nalan Fengjin outside the door. With mutterings, Nalan Fengjin went out with his front legs, and he followed with his back legs.
He had never seen a woman washing clothes, let alone Nalan Fengjin washing clothes. Du Yuze hid in a tree and watched her squatting by the river from a distance, waving a laundry stick and beating the clothes hard. I had the illusion that the clothes would be smashed by her hammer, and the corners of my mouth raised slightly without realizing it. Suddenly I felt that it was such a happy thing for her to wash her own clothes. Even the way she looked like washing clothes was extremely beautiful.
Soon, Nalan Fengjin finished washing a piece of clothing, twisted it, and temporarily hung it on a tree nearby. I started washing another item, but no one else was seen. When a murder occurred here, the people who originally came here to wash clothes did not dare to come.
Seeing that she had finished washing another piece, she was about to hang it. At this moment, I saw a dog walking out of nowhere in the bushes. It was obvious at a glance that the dog was not domesticated. It had a strong body with a hint of wildness, but somehow it bit Nalan Fengjin who had not been hanging on the branch before. clothes.
Upon seeing this, Nalan Fengjin hurriedly shouted: "Oh, Du Yuze."
Du Yuze exclaimed suddenly, almost thinking that she had discovered him. When he stood up straight in shock, he found that she was tightly grasping the other side of the clothes in the dog's mouth, trying to pull the clothes out. Only then did he realize that she was shouting. It's that dress.
The dog was also very stubborn and insisted on biting the clothes. One person and one dog went back and forth, and a tug-of-war began at the river.
Du Yuze watched from a distance, and the more he watched, the more he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh out loud, so he endured it with difficulty.
Nalan Fengjin waved his fist to intimidate Niu: "Stop talking, these are Du Yuze's clothes. If you dare to bite them off, I will kill you and eat your meat."
The dog obviously didn't understand human words. Not only did it not let go, but it bit tighter and dragged it back a few steps. Nalan Fengjin was afraid that the clothes would be damaged by pulling hard, so he had no choice but to follow a few steps.
Du Yuze endured it so hard that he almost laughed out loud.
Seeing that this plan didn't work, Nalan Fengjin had no choice but to grab the chicken drumsticks he had placed on the ground and swayed them around seductively, saying, "Eat, eat, it's delicious."
Unfortunately, despite Nalan Fengjin's repeated teasing, Niu Leng did not open his mouth, but still bit his clothes and stared at Nalan Fengjin warily.
Nalan Fengjin became angry, threw away the grass in his hand, and started fighting with the dog again.
Unable to save the clothes from the dog's mouth, Nalan Fengjin was afraid of tearing the clothes with force, so he tried to persuade the dog while pulling: "Brother Dog, please stop talking, these are Ze's clothes, I know you are A bitch can't do this, if you want to see Ze, I'll take you to see him later."
At this time, the dog barked "woof, woof..." and let go of the clothes.
Du Yuze in the tree couldn't laugh or cry at first, but later he was stunned.
Nalan Fengjin hurriedly pulled back his clothes to see if they were torn. He was relieved when he saw that they were intact. In the blink of an eye, he glared at Niu, waved his fists and said angrily: "You still want to see Ze, you are dreaming, I am now I’ll kill you and eat your meat.”
She jumped up and gave the dog a feint, but the dog made another "woof" sound and bit her fiercely.
Nalan Fengjin had no intention of hurting the dog, so she hurriedly retreated. The bushes under her feet scraped against her dress, which hindered her retreating speed. Just as she was about to jump high, she saw a man leaping down from the air with a sword and trying to slash at the dog. .
Upon seeing this, Nalan Fengjin hurriedly shouted: "Leave the dog under the sword!"
Du Yuze paused when he heard this, but during this hesitation, the dog turned around and bumped into him. At this time, he was pulled by Nalan Fengjin and retreated quickly. He only heard Nalan Fengjin say: "Run quickly. It's angry." As he spoke, Nalan Fengjin threw out the chicken legs in his hand.
Du Yuze just ran after her.
In the mountains and forests, she jumped and jumped, she was in front, laughing while running, and he was by the side, never leaving.
Looking back, her hair flew across his face, and her bright and dazzling smile was deeply imprinted in his eyes and engraved in his heart.
The two of them galloped over the bushes, running all the way. When the dog disappeared, they had already run half a mile.
Stopping on a boulder, her hair was a little messy from running, she fell down on the boulder, opened her arms, and laughed.
Thinking of what happened just now, thinking of the two of them being chased by a dog in such a mess, he couldn't help but laugh. He also lay on his back next to her. He smelled her breath with his nose. He couldn't help but feel moved, and reached out to touch her fingers. Grab it in the palm of your hand and don’t let go.
She stopped laughing, turned to look at him, smiled at each other, and then looked to the sky again.
Above the head, as far as the eye can see, the endless sky is blue. He suddenly thought, how wonderful it would be if he stayed like this for the rest of his life.
On the way back, the two held hands. Nalan Fengjin swung his arms very high, and Du Yuze followed her, holding the tub and clothes in one hand, while the other was being pulled back and forth by her. He turned his head and looked at each other, Her eyes were full of tenderness.
The setting sun turned their backs into golden color.
After washing clothes for several days in a row, Nalan Fengjin had to give up and Du Yuze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two traveled back and forth between the bamboo forest and Qingcheng for nearly two months, and the bamboo house was finally completed.
From bamboo rafting to building construction, from knowing nothing to asking for advice from everywhere, every nail and rivet in the house is the hard work and wisdom of the two, including which bamboo to choose, which way to face the windows, and what color to choose for the curtains. They all had to discuss what color the fence should be painted, where to place stools, chairs, and archery targets in the yard.
When the whole house stood in front of him, Du Yuze held Nalan Fengjin in front of him, entwining his fingers with her and staring at the bamboo house with her. The sunlight reflected through them by the spring water beside the house, stained on the bamboo house, and the falling shadows nestled in pairs.
The two looked at each other and smiled. She suddenly jumped up and rushed forward, shouting as she ran, "I want to be the first to enter the house."
He then chased after him and said with a smile: "It's not that easy."
The two of them were crowded at the door. You didn't let me, and I didn't let you. They couldn't get in for a while.
He raised his eyebrows, suddenly stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, turned around, and entered the house at the same time.
There is everything in the house, beds, curtains, tables and chairs, wooden boxes, tea sets... all exuding the fresh fragrance of bamboo.
He hugged her from behind, placed his chin on the crook of her neck, and said softly: "I want to marry you."
She felt a little shy when she heard this and said, "Then you have to go to my house to propose marriage."
He seemed a little surprised, because he had never heard her mention where she lived, so he asked: "Where is your home?
Her eyes flickered and she said, "My home is far away. You just need to take a boat along the river from east to west and count to a hundred in your heart, and you will reach my home."
Du Yuze was startled, frowned and asked, "What should I do if I count too fast or too slow and go to another house to propose marriage?"
Nalan Fengjin's eyes changed and he said, "That means we are not destined to be together."
"You're kidding me." Only then did Du Yuze react and kissed her hard.
Du Yuze didn't know at that time that her home was in that magnificent place, and it occupies a very large area. No matter if he counted quickly or slowly, it would always be there. How could he propose the wrong marriage?
The days are like floating water, leisurely, clear and happy.
One day, when the sun was setting in the west, Du Yuze finally set three arrows on the target at the same time. The first one hit the red heart, the second one broke. The first one hit the red heart, and the third one broke and the second one hit the target. red heart.
Nalan Fengjin, who had been watching for a long time, shouted and jumped excitedly, applauding him, with unconcealable pride in the corners of his eyes and brows, as if he was the one who could do this.
She sincerely praised: "Ze is really amazing, Ze is the best!"
Seeing her excited look, he laughed and said, "It's all for you."
"For me?"
"To protect you."
He gently brushed her hair and held her in his arms.
