Wei Shiqi looked at her expression, it didn't look like she was joking, but she was a little moved. Copying a poem is not difficult, the difficult thing is to make it appropriate. What was she thinking? Why did you choose him? Thinking of her experience and her mood, Wei Shiqi understood that people are different. What he regarded as a trivial burden might be a huge boulder that she could not unload. She carried a lot of things she didn't want to carry, and even the thought of "not wanting" itself became part of the burden. She always straightened her back proudly, but in the shadow behind her, her other self was under heavy pressure. Walk alone.
There is always a limit to the amount of pressure a person can bear. Yu Yao knows where her limit is. In order to avoid complete collapse, she needs to relax her tight bowstring from time to time. For the first time, outside the town customs On the grassland, she chose to face the Tiele people's cavalry alone and chose death. This time, in the heart of the mountain in Chixia Valley, she chose Wei Shiqi and a man.
In order to convince herself, she found a somewhat stubborn and ridiculous reason. You read a poem to me. If I think it is good, I will agree to it.
Wei Shiqi stared at her and didn't speak for a long time. He still had feelings for her, but this time, the feelings were mixed with other things, pity, love, it was hard to explain. He could understand her. He had had a similar experience. In another world, before the last straw fell, he chose to escape.
Escape, escape alone, abandon everything, forget everything, go to a strange place, and start life again.
Wei Shiqi picked up the flying sword, flattened the stone pillar, and wrote the word "cold" at the beginning. Two sentences, fourteen words, he didn't read it, he just wrote it down.
Although I am thousands of miles away, in the dark mountain belly of Chixia Valley, the sound of water dripping is intermittent, but it seems that I have returned to the past, in the south of the Yangtze River where the mountains are warm and the water is soft, smelling the wind in front of the window of Qizhenshan's former residence. With the fragrance of flowers in my heart, I quietly read through the poetry collections of my predecessors. That was the life she once lived, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, without blood feuds, immersed in other people's chants and lamentations, forgetting herself.
"What's down there? What else is there?" Her voice became confused and ethereal, coming from a distant place that even she felt unfamiliar. She seemed to be expecting something, but also felt scared.
Wei Shiqi slowly wrote the remaining two sentences. When the tip of the sword carved the last word "Tong", Yu Yao raised her hand to wipe away her tears and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "I... can never go back. ..." She murmured to herself, "I will try to like you, and you can also like me, if... you are willing."
"Have you figured it out?"
"Yes." Yu Yao raised her face slightly and looked at him bravely.
Wei Shiqi leaned over and kissed her gently on the corner of the mouth. He moved very slowly, leaving enough time for her to think. She could refuse or dodge, but she didn't. In the darkness, Yu Yao was very nervous, her body was trembling slightly, her fingertips pierced her palms, but she didn't feel any pain. She didn't know what would happen next. Although she was panicked, she was also vaguely looking forward to it.
Wei Shiqi hugged her waist, kissed the corner of her mouth again, and moved little by little towards her trembling lips. In an instant, Yu Yao's breathing stopped. She closed her eyes tightly and was at a loss. She raised her hand several times to push him away, but then retracted it. Her heart was in a trance, as if it was floating in the clouds.
After a long time, her tense body relaxed, her lips opened slightly, and her hot breath blew on Wei Shiqi's cheek.
When Wei Shiqi put his hand into her clothes and pressed it against her smooth belly, a stubborn thought flashed through her mind. Sooner or later, a clean body will be stained by dirty things. Instead of taking advantage of those stinky men who look down upon her, , it is better to choose by yourself.
Her breathing gradually became lower and her heartbeat calmed down. Yu Yao felt that her heart was empty, and her body seemed to be missing something, but also seemed to have something added. Indulgence made her feel better, and the burdens on her heart became bearable. Could it be that when a girl becomes a woman, she can bear more? Hatred, harassment, helplessness, and loneliness once whipped her like a whip, driving her to the edge of madness, but now, she feels better.
She stood up, straightened her messy dress, tied up her long hair, and walked into the dark stone pillar without looking back.
Wei Shiqi squinted his eyes and looked at the verses on the stone pillar. He hesitated for a moment, but did not cut it flat. He changed to a stone pillar that was farther away and continued to use his sword to carve the words. It was still the four lines that were pieced together - **The value of a moment. Thousands of gold, I know that I have to do this. The waiter helped her weakly, and Jiangzhou Sima's green shirt was wet. The distance was far away, and he returned to the state of a child holding a pen, writing words as big as a palm and crookedly.
There was a lack of Lihuo Qi in the belly of the mountain, so Yu Yao could only rely on swallowing pills to replenish his vitality. He was in a hurry when he left Liushi Peak and only brought two bottles of Five Elements Qi Restoration Pills, which was a drop in the bucket. He waited until he finished taking them. She had no more pills to use for the remaining Qiankun Yiqi Pill.
Yu Yao walked up to Wei Shiqi, grabbed a handful of jade slips and placed them in front of him, saying, "I'll trade these with you for the Qiankun Yiqi Pill."
Wei Shiqi knew what she was thinking and wanted to figure everything out clearly. He took out the Qiankun Yiqi Pill from his arms, handed it to her with the bottle, and said: "I don't want this thing from you, I'll give it to you."
Yu Yao refused to answer and asked stubbornly: "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything from you. I just want to help you. Do you believe me?"
Yu Yao shook her head.
Wei Shiqi said: "It is necessary to be careful. No one in this world will be kind to others for no reason. All efforts, whether intentional or unintentional, hope to be rewarded. This kind of reward is sometimes the immediate income, sometimes it is Long-term gains sometimes come from inner satisfaction, and no one is immune to this. To be courteous for nothing is to be a traitor or a thief. Instead of trusting a hypocrite who doesn’t mean what he says and has a ghostly heart, it’s better to make a deal plainly.”
These words touched Yu Yao's heart. This was exactly what she thought. It was just not as clear as what Wei Shiqi said. However, she couldn't fully accept it after tearing away the superficial warmth and talking nakedly about sacrifice and reward. She retorted: "That's not necessarily the case. Between mother and child, and between husband and wife, there is always sacrifice without expecting anything in return, right?"
"Parents pay for their children because they actually hope that their bloodline will continue. When a husband pays for his wife, he hopes that she will give birth to children for him. There is also a hidden purpose behind instinct and nature. The fundamental relationship between people is, in fact, Nothing more than the word 'profit'."
Yu Yao felt that something precious had been broken deep in her heart, but she couldn't argue with it. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "What do you mean when you tell me this?"
Wei Shiqi took her hand, "I just want to tell you that there is no need to suspect anything between you and me. What I want is you. You have already given me what I want, and I don't need to pay anything more."
Yu Yao took the porcelain bottle from his hand and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."
