I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Bai Zhi didn't know how she managed to get through the rest of the conversation. The pain on her face didn't seem out of place in the scene arranged by Meng Ying. Instead, it made it more real, as if she was really the one who caught him. A woman who lives with her husband out to flirt with women.

Until the end, when Meng Ying led her away from that place, she was still depressed.

Meng Ying knew the pain in her heart best, but today, he was not in a hurry to comfort her because he had foreseen such an outcome.

Bai Zhi did not choose to ride in a carriage, but asked for a fast horse. She wanted to blow the cold wind to calm herself down.

Meng Ying also got on a horse and followed her quietly.

The horse didn't know how far it had traveled, and it had gradually moved away from Meng Ying's men. It seemed that there were only two people in the world, and the clatter of horse hooves.

When they reached the foot of a mountain, the sound of gurgling water came from the mountain. Bai Zhi got off her horse and wanted to wash her face with cold water to wake up.

Meng Ying also dismounted, tied the horse to a tree stump, and followed her to the stream.

Bai Zhi suddenly turned around and walked towards Meng Ying. She walked straight to Meng Ying. Her eyes were sharp and oppressive. She said, "Your Majesty, does Qi Peilan know that her brother is dead?"

Meng Ying was stunned for a moment, then looked away in a panic, taking a step back unconsciously, and struggled to squeeze out two words from her throat, "I don't know."

Bai Zhi was not surprised by this answer. She continued in a deep voice, "Then can I tell her?"

Meng Ying's heart tightened. He avoided Bai Zhi's gaze, paused, and spoke again with difficulty, "No."

Bai Zhi was not surprised by this answer. If Qi Peilan knew that his brother was dead, then whether this plan could go ahead was a question.

Bai Zhi was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Well, the prince has his plans."

She continued to walk to the stream. There was only a thin stream in winter, and it was surrounded by wet soil. Once she stepped in, her shoes would sink in half. Bai Zhi walked carefully. She stepped on two slightly shaking pebbles and squatted down. Go down, grab handfuls of cold water and pour it on your face.

The biting cold winter stream instantly made Bai Zhi sober up.

She is clearly aware that this era is rotten, and this is not a world where every individual can pursue themselves. It was difficult for the people here to even survive, so those pursuits she had in her previous life were just unrealistic fantasies in this era.

Since she has no ability to change this situation, she has no qualifications to judge Meng Ying's actions. After all, he may be a rare glimmer of hope in this era.

He's right, he's right, he's right...

Bai Zhi kept repeating this sentence in her mind, and just like that, unknowingly, she had been squatting by the river for a long time. At this time, her hands were already red from the cold water.

Meng Ying felt extremely uncomfortable at the side. If Bai Zhi could scold him a few words, he might feel better. Such silence made him feel like a knife.

In the end, Meng Ying was still worried that she would catch a cold and reminded her, "Zhi'er, you will catch a cold..."

Meng Ying's gentle voice brought Bai Zhi back to her senses. She looked at the reflection in the water, forced a smile, and responded, "Oh... okay..."

She stood up with her legs, but because she had been squatting for too long, her legs were numb and her vision went dark. She staggered over the pebbles under her feet and fell into the creek with a bang.

The biting cold soaked Bai Zhi's back, making Bai Zhi scream in surprise.

Before Meng Ying could say the words of caution, she was lying in the water. He hurriedly rushed into the muddy wetland to help her up. Thinking that her menstruation was not over yet, he was anxious and panicked, and he was trying to save her. He took off his outer shirt and said, "Change out of your wet clothes first and wear mine, so you don't catch a cold!"

Bai Zhi finally recovered from her panic. She looked at the blue sky and white sun, and there was no cover. She hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better put on your clothes first. I'll go to the carriage to change in a moment."

Meng Ying's expression became worried, and he became serious, "I'll block it for you. It's some distance away from the carriage, you'll catch a cold..."

The two were hesitantly confronting each other. It happened that the old man was passing by the roadside carrying firewood. He saw the dirt on Angelica dahurica's back and said kindly, "Oh, girl, did you fall into the water? It's such a cold weather. My house is right next to it. How about you?" Go to my house and change into dry clothes, but don’t catch a cold!”

Bai Zhi was thinking about refusing. The carriage wasn't too far away, so she could get there in a short while.

"Then I'll bother you, old man!" Meng Ying said first.

The wet clothes stuck to Bai Zhi's back, becoming more and more painful. Although the old man's house was not far away, by the time Bai Zhi walked to his house, her teeth had already begun to chatter.

Meng Ying hugged her tightly and rubbed her arms, trying to give her some warmth.

The old man was probably in his sixties. His hair was gray, his body was stooped, and half of his teeth were missing. He walked to the door of his small courtyard, took a few breaths in the palm of his hand, and then opened the lock with a trembling voice, "My place is so shabby, noble people should not dislike it!"

Meng Ying said politely, "I was joking."

The old man asked them to go into the room to change clothes, and said enthusiastically, "There are my old lady's old clothes in this room. They are of no use after all these years. I plan to throw them away. You can wear them!"

After Bai Zhi thanked the old man, she entered the room and followed the old man's instructions to search for cotton clothes among the piles of sundries. The room was dimly lit and covered with thick dust. It looked like no one had been in for a long time.

The old man saw that Meng Ying was dressed luxuriously but had a bald head, and asked curiously, "Is the noble man a monk?"

"It was once, but it has returned to secular life."

"Hey! That's right! Master must still be reluctant to live in this world, so he returned to the secular world. Who is the one inside?" Although the old man saw at a glance that the two people were close, he was still afraid of presumptuousness and asked cautiously.

Meng Ying smiled faintly, "It's my wife."

"Oh, hello, madam! Hello, madam! She is a beautiful lady! That old lady of mine was also a beautiful girl when she was young..." The old man showed off proudly.

Meng Ying also chatted seriously with the old man.

"Ah - Meng Ying, come in -"

Suddenly, Bai Zhi's scream came from the house, "There's a mouse——"

Meng Ying hurriedly rushed in, only to see Bai Zhi huddled in the corner. She said to Meng Ying in panic, "There... there are mice..."

Meng Ying's tense heart suddenly relaxed at this moment. He raised the corner of his mouth lightly, "It's okay...Sa Lan is here..."

Bai Zhi was soothed by his soft words, and felt great peace of mind. She breathed a long sigh of relief.

Meng Ying stepped forward with a slight smile, and while rummaging through the debris, she said, "I'm here to find you. Take off your wet clothes first..."

Bai Zhi pouted slightly and nodded aggrievedly.

Meng Ying found the thickest cotton coat among his clothes. He said it was the thickest but could not withstand the cold. He gathered five pieces together and asked Bai Zhi to put them on.

Bai Zhi took the clothes handed over by Meng Ying and begged, "Don't go out yet, I'm afraid..."

Her soft voice stirred up a warmth in Meng Ying's heart, making him feel that she was needed. He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, "Well, Sa Lan is waiting for you inside."

Meng Ying turned away and found a stool by the window to sit down. He listened quietly to the soft sound behind the sound. It was the sound of her clothes falling to the floor, which aroused Meng Ying's reverie.

Suddenly, Meng Ying's eyes fell on a bronze mirror on the table, which frightened Meng Ying into panic!

Meng Ying looked into the mirror uncontrollably. In the mirror, she could clearly see the back of Bai Zhi changing her clothes. She had taken off only one inner garment, and the wet undergarment clung to her back, completely outlining the figure. Her slender lines.

Bai Zhi took off her clothes, and her snow-white skin was exposed in the mirror. Her naked back seemed to be shining, making Meng Ying unable to move her eyes away.

Meng Ying's throat became dry, her palms clenched unconsciously, and even her breathing felt hot.

Bai Zhi turned sideways to get some dry clothes. The curve of her face frightened Meng Ying to a loss. He wanted to look away immediately, but his eyes seemed to be glued and he couldn't control them at all.

He felt extremely guilty, and when he was nervous, he raised his hand and slammed the bronze mirror on the table, making a sound.

The noise frightened Bai Zhi. She quickly put on her coat in panic and asked, "What's wrong?"

Meng Ying's ears were red and hot. He didn't dare to turn around, so he nervously said to cover up, "It's okay...it's a mouse..."

Bai Zhi felt relieved and wrapped herself in the remaining clothes. With five pieces of clothing on her upper body, she was already wrapped up like a ball. She felt like her arms were tied up and she couldn't lift them up at all. This must be funny, so she looked around, "Is there a mirror? I I want to see what it looks like..."

When Meng Ying heard the word "mirror", she became even more embarrassed and hurriedly hid the bronze mirror in her sleeve, "How could there be..."

Bai Zhi was right when she thought about it. A bronze mirror is quite expensive. The old man's family was so poor and his wife also passed away. The valuable ones should have been pawned. She didn't worry too much, "I've changed it, let's go!" "

At this time, Meng Ying calmed down a little from his embarrassing mood. He didn't know what happened, but uncontrollably hid the mirror with him, and then followed Bai Zhi out of the door.

In the main room, the old man had already lit up the fire, "Oh, the girl is so handsome, she looks good in anything she wears! Come on, come on, sit down! I warmed the wine and caught fish, noble people, don't dislike me!"

This meant leaving Bai Zhi and the others to eat. Bai Zhi and Meng Ying looked at each other, and Meng Ying smiled lightly at her and expressed her agreement.

Bai Zhi smiled and agreed to the old man, "I am really warm and hospitable!"

The old man was very happy when he heard this, "Hey, hey, that's not it! When I was young, people from all over the country were famous for their hospitality. At that time, my house was bustling every day, and the folks loved to come to my house..."

The old man drank a big sip of wine, then poured a bowl for Meng Ying and Bai Zhi, and then started to brag, "I just can't calm down. Whoever plows the land at that time, I must be the first." I rushed to help, and people came to me for help every two days for three days. Everyone in the village told their girls that if they could marry me, they would be blessed for the rest of their lives!"

Bai Zhi was very kind to hear her bragging. She remembered that in her previous life, a relative in her family drank alcohol and liked to brag about her deeds when she was young. Such a real feeling made her feel at ease.

Meng Ying took a sip of wine without being polite. The wine was so irritating that Meng Ying frowned and let out a laugh.

The old man laughed loudly when he saw this, "You noble people can't drink in our bar! This is sour fruit wine. I picked up the sour fruit and brewed it myself! You can't drink it because you don't understand the taste. This is nothing compared to that jade ice." Burn it! Drink it to strengthen your body and keep away the cold..."

Meng Ying smiled when she heard the words, "What the old man said is true, I really don't understand the taste! This wine is a bit too strong for one person. I usually live alone? When I came down, I found that the houses here were in disrepair and overgrown with weeds. ."

"Yes, I live alone! Ever since my old wife died, I have lived alone, and no one drinks with me. No, I finally meet someone today! So you can eat, but don't be polite to me! "The old man said, threw something like a yam stick into the fire, and handed Bai Zhi an orange.

Bai Zhi took it and said, "Thank you very much, old man. Does that old man have any children?"

"Yes! I used to have many children and grandchildren. I have four sons and two daughters! Everyone envied me!"

"What about them?"

When the old man heard this, his expression changed. He sighed, "The eldest son was eaten by a wolf when he was seven years old. It's a pity for his clever mind! The second daughter is sensible and beautiful. She got married early, but was eaten by that pig and dog. The thing was beaten to death! The third son was the most successful and passed the Juren exam. He thought he would be able to shine on his family, but for some reason, he suddenly disappeared one day. People said he had offended a big shot and was silenced."

The old man said this and wiped his neck. Bai Zhi heard this and glanced at Meng Ying. As expected, his expression changed and became cold. Even if the firelight was warm, it seemed that it could not warm the frost in his eyes.

"The fourth child was unlucky and a fool. My wife took him around to seek medical treatment. Unfortunately, she met a charlatan and stabbed him to death with a needle! She was so angry that she fell into a heart attack. The fifth child was still a little girl and naughty. The mischievous one encountered the plague when he was six years old and died. The sixth child wanted to join the army since he was a child, so his mother and I sent him to join the army. To this day, we still don’t believe it, and we don’t know whether he is alive or dead. After all, he is still a half-grown boy, and his hair has not even grown, so why is he fighting?"

The old man's tone was a little helpless and a little relaxed, which shocked Bai Zhi. This was already so miserable that it couldn't get any worse!

Meng Ying's throat tightened, "What about the people in this village?"

"The life here is not easy, everyone has fled. My old wife and I were worried that our youngest son would not be found when he came back, so we secretly stayed here! Fortunately, everyone has left, and no one is urging us to pay taxes. If any officers and soldiers come, Check, when you see our dilapidated house, you wouldn’t think anyone lives here..."

After saying that, the old man sighed and said, "Hey, tell me, why are you living like this alone?"

"I might die in two years, and there will be no one left! I heard that people who do good things can be reincarnated as immortals! I have done so many good things, do you think there really is a fairyland? What if? If not, then there is no hope!" the old man joked cheerfully.

This question made Meng Ying suddenly feel a little embarrassed. He turned around in his mind, is there a fairyland? Have it?

"Yes, of course there is a fairyland!" Meng Ying's eyes suddenly became brighter, and he raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhi, "If you don't believe me, ask my wife, that's where she came from."

Bai Zhi was stunned, what was he talking about?

When the old man heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh! It turns out that the lady is a fairy! No wonder she has such extraordinary bearing!"

The old man suddenly turned his gaze to Bai Zhi, "Fairy girl, are you living a very good life in heaven? You have big fish and meat every meal, so you don't have to worry about eating at all?"

Bai Zhi was completely stunned. She didn't want to admit that she was a fairy at all, but the old man's eyes were so sincere that Bai Zhi couldn't say a word to extinguish her hope. She concentrated and said, "Yes! Our place There is a lot of grain production, and you can have a full meal every time. Pork, chicken, duck, and fish are commonplace, and you can eat several of them in one meal!"

The old man laughed and said, "That's so beautiful! Can fairies soar into the clouds and ride in the mist? Can they fly around in a whooshing way?"

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, and then said with certainty, "Yes! We have a plane there! From here to Chenjing, it takes less than half an hour! Even the birds can't catch up!"

"Oh! Awesome! Do you have clairvoyance and ears? Hey, if I were a god, the first thing I would want to do is find out where my little son is! There's not even a letter!"

"Yes! We have something called a mobile phone. No matter where a person is, if you want, you can find him, hear his voice, and see his person!"

"Ouch! That's amazing! Then what do you gods usually do?"

Bai Zhi laughed out loud inexplicably, "Gods also have to work!"

"That's right, it rains when it's supposed to rain, and the sun comes out when it's supposed to rain! What about when it doesn't rain but thunders and winds blow?"

Bai Zhi frowned and thought carefully about what she was doing when she wasn't at work, and then she said with a guilty conscience, "Uh... use clairvoyance and ears to watch handsome men and beauties singing and dancing... watching them sing and act... uh... also There are...reading, writing and listening to music..."

The old man burst out laughing again, "How beautiful the beauty is! This singing and dancing person is really good!"

……

The two talked a lot and drank a lot.

Before leaving, Meng Ying spent money to buy the mirror and gave the old man a lot of money, hoping that he would no longer suffer from hunger while he was alive.

Meng Ying carried the half-drunk Bai Zhi on her back, letting her hot breath puff on her neck.

Bai Zhi murmured in a daze, "I'm not a fairy! I'm just an ordinary commoner, I'm nothing! Who said we were in a fairyland...well...it's you...Meng Ying... You’re talking nonsense!”

Bai Zhijiao scolded him and bit Meng Ying's neck.

Meng Ying frowned in pain, and then said softly, "It is precisely because you are just an ordinary citizen that that is the wonderland."

Bai Zhi felt dizzy, and when she thought about it, she was right! But she said unconvinced, "But we are not happy either. We have to work overtime every day, and we can't finish our work at all! We are squeezed every day and can't make much money!"

Meng Ying shook her head and laughed, "So, you also have your own fairyland, right?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment, and it seemed like it was, but before she could say anything, her head fell on Meng Ying's shoulder and fell asleep.
