Chronicles of Ancient Life

The embers of the fire are clearly dying out, reflecting the twilight of the morning sun, slowly dissipating the residual heat.In the hut in the deep mountain, everyone is still sleeping peacefully.

"En!" With a soft snort, Qin Jiaze leaned forward suddenly and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he woke up in time.

Qin Jiaze rubbed his face hard to wake himself up.There was already light outside, and it was almost dawn.The two of them chatted until late last night, and they simply sat by the fire and fell asleep in a daze.

It was still early, but he was no longer sleepy. He looked back at Ying Yu who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.Qin Jiaze was a little distressed, should he wake up?On a whim last night, I said that if the rain stopped, we would get up together to watch the sunrise this morning, but now I am still asleep.

Before sunrise, the temperature is at its lowest, and the cold moisture outside the door can soak into the cracks of human bones.Qin Jiaze carefully filled the fire with fine firewood to let the flames burn again.The dead branches were slowly engulfed by the flames again, exuding a warming heat.Qin Jiaze took out a burning branch to light another fire.

The two guards were very vigilant, and when they heard Qin Jiaze's slight noise, they got up carefully and quickly, and saluted Qin Jiaze.

Qin Jiaze nodded, handed over the affairs of the house to the two, opened the door and walked out by himself.After the rain, the mountains and forests are beautiful and quiet, the vegetation is verdant, and the air is fresh and refreshing.If only it wasn't so cold!

Qin Jiaze tightened the clothes on his body, trying to make himself warmer. His body was very stiff after sitting all night, and it was even more uncomfortable not being able to wash.Qin Jiaze found the small mountain stream that the guards had mentioned yesterday, the icy cold water made him shiver, rinsed his mouth, cleansed his face, combed his hair, and finished it all in one go.Then he found a clean and flat place, Qin Jiaze took a deep breath, and punched out the punches he often practiced, stretching his muscles and bones.

Qin Jiaze exhaled a turbid breath, completed the closing posture, and felt much more comfortable.The sky over the treetops is pale, and the sun is about to come out.

"Why don't you wait for me? If it's too late, you won't be able to catch up." Ying Yu stood not far away, looked at the white belly in the sky, and turned to Qin Jiaze and said.

"Yingyu, you're up. I thought you'd sleep for a while, so I didn't call you." Qin Jiaze was startled by the sudden voice, and laughed when he saw someone he knew.

Ying Yu smiled slightly and said, "Let's go. When I came over, I saw a place that was very suitable for watching the sunrise." After speaking, he walked ahead and led the way.

Naturally, Qin Jiaze could only keep up with him. The two of them walked silently in this quiet mountain, one behind the other, and the sound of low footsteps resounded in the mountain.

His head was so dizzy, it was Qin Jiaze's feeling when he saw Ying Yu's position for the first time, and his legs felt a little weak.

Qin Jiaze was a little afraid of heights, but it wasn't serious.But looking at the cliff and the deep ravine in front of him, standing on the huge rock protruding from the cliff, with no shelter around him, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Ying Yu stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the clouds and mists in the valley, as if she had escaped from the shackles of the earth and was in a fairyland.Looking back and seeing the man standing far away, Ying Yu noticed Qin Jiaze's nervousness, walked over and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Looking around, as if he had understood something, he suddenly laughed lightly, with a smile on his face. A rare joy, "Aze, are you afraid of heights, ha ha!"

Although Yingyu's voice was enough to please his ears, it couldn't change his slight embarrassment at being exposed to his weaknesses.But Qin Jiaze didn't feel ashamed, nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm a little afraid of heights, so I don't dare to go there, just stand here and take a look. Cangwu Mountain really lives up to its reputation, and there are wonders everywhere. You have to see them one by one."

Although Qin Jiaze changed the subject, Ying Yu was very interested in this person's weaknesses.From the time the two met, when this person was still a child, he always looked like a young man.Caring for the people around him everywhere, and standing in front of danger.I didn't expect this person to be so afraid of heights, and he showed his timidity here.Let him add a bit of youthful anger, a bit less alienation, and a bit more realness.

Ah, Qin Jiaze was trying to look at the opposite cliff through the clouds and mist, when someone grabbed his right hand unexpectedly.The dry and warm palm and the slightly cool fingertips all truly reminded Qin Jiaze that a person is clasping the palms of his own, and the fingers are connected.

Qin Jiaze looked down at that hand, it must have been this hand yesterday, and it approached with the warmth of its owner...

"I'll hold you, and if you get closer, you can see that there is an old pine growing in the crevice of the rock under the cliff." Ying Yu took Qin Jiaze's hand and approached the edge of the cliff.

The two stood side by side, waiting for the sunrise on the cliff.The sun quietly appeared in the line of sight, slowly moving upwards, the rays of the sun were completely dyed, the clouds rolled gently, and the whole mountain forest came alive.

"It's really beautiful!" Qin Jiaze's mind was not captured by the majestic beauty of the sunrise, his mind was disturbed by that hand, and he could only express his admiration for the scene in a dry sentence for a moment.

"Well, it's so beautiful. Let's go back!" Ying Yu didn't seem to be in the mood to say more, she withdrew her hand, turned around and walked back and forth, leaving all her feelings and heartbeats behind.

Qin Jiaze stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, although he was a little dazzled.The clouds and mist had not yet cleared at sunrise, but it was enough for Qin Jiaze to see clearly the situation under the cliff. There were strange rocks on the cliff, but there was only one tenacious old pine missing.

Qin Jiaze looked at the figure going away, sighed lightly and followed.Walking all the way, counting the steps, step by step, Qin Jiaze silently soothed his restless heart.

With his back facing the direction of the sunrise, the sunlight shines on the back of the person in front of him through the lush canopy.Qin Jiaze still couldn't calm down his restless mood.

The hut where everyone rests is getting closer...

"Yingyu..." Qin Jiaze yelled to stop the people in front.

Ying Yu heard the voice, stopped and turned to look at him.

At this moment, Qin Jiaze suddenly remembered a story he had read in his previous life, a young man tenderly expressed his love to the girl beside him: Would you like to be buried in my ancestral grave after you die?

Qin Jiaze couldn't tell whether he loved it or not, such affectionate words, so his ears heard his own voice saying, "Yingyu, your earring fell off, do you want me to give you another one?" Qin Jiaze I was a little dazed and didn't know what I said, it was really like a boy's love words to a girl.

Ying Yu heard the insects chirping from the grass, but his ears still accurately caught the sentence, "Do you want me to give you another one?"

Ying Yu stared at the young man in morning light and his calm face, and said a word in a gentle voice, "Okay."

After Ying Yu finished speaking, he turned around and continued to walk forward. No one could notice how brisk his pace was at the moment.The smile on his face grew wider, and his eyes shone with the glint of the water in the midday sun.Ying Yu walked forward slowly with his head raised slightly, and the scene of the people following silently behind him, one in front and one behind, was extremely harmonious.

Ying Yu gently twisted the sapphire-embedded earrings on the palm of his hand with his fingers, loosened his fingers, and shook his wrist slightly, the small earrings rolled into the secret pocket of the cuff.The corners of Ying Yu's mouth turned up, and he tilted his head to smile, his gaze swept over the young man who was getting closer behind him, and his steps became more and more brisk.

"Ah, it's so delicious! I'm starving to death, why haven't these two come back? It's still early in the morning, where did they go?" Bai Zifang took a deep sip of the mushroom and chicken soup in front of her, really tickling her stomach It's even louder.

On the side, Yang Ye still maintained the attitude that silence is golden, and did not question his young master's behavior in any way.Apart from worrying about the young master's safety on this mountain, Yang Ye didn't know what else to worry about.

Bai Zifang likes to tease a wooden stake to change his face, rolled his eyes, looked at other people not paying attention, leaned into Yang Ye's ear, and said with a smirk, "Little Ye Zi, look at what is missing in this room. Who? Is it missing your young master and the county lord?

In my opinion, when your young master comes back from this encounter, your uncle's residence may have a new lord soon!Poor me, I'm still a widow so far, I don't even have a brother or a girl to flirt with!Hey, what a pity! "The last sentence elongated the tone and raised the voice, causing everyone in the room to look over.

"Xiaobai, what's so pitiful about you? Tell me." Qin Jiaze asked in a relaxed tone when he stood at the door and opened the door, hearing his friend's tone of teasing others.

"Hey, Aze. Of course I'm sorry because...well, I'm so hungry." Bai Zifang saw the cold-faced and dignified magistrate behind his friend, and the words stuck in his throat, and he hurriedly changed his tone. , and pointed to the iron pot in front of him, "It's been cooking for a long time, you smell the aroma, ah!" Bai Zifang sniffed, continued to curl his lips with an intoxicated expression, "Poor thing, I can only watch, but I can smell it." Taste, you just can’t eat it in your mouth!”

Qin Jiaze saw that everyone in the room had already prepared breakfast. The pheasant left yesterday, as well as the fresh mushrooms and wild vegetables from the morning, all of which were stewed in a pot, whetted the appetite.After going out for so long in the morning, I feel really hungry when I see the food now.Going out with Yingyu for so long has made everyone wait for a long time.

"Okay, we're back, we can eat now, don't worry about it." Qin Jiaze said to his friend.

Yun Fang has already invited Ying Yu to sit down and served breakfast.Yun Fang and Ying Yu are the most familiar. Although the countenance's face is still cold and indifferent, and he doesn't say a word, Yun Fang can feel that the master's mood is very good at the moment.Looking at the young man talking and laughing with others over there, there is still something that I don't understand.

After everyone had eaten, they tidied up the house as much as possible, restored it to its original state, and piled the remaining dry firewood in the corner, which should be used as the cost of renting the house.After some rectification, set off down the mountain.

Climbing the mountain the day before was very tiring, and he didn't have a good rest in the mountain last night. Qin Jiaze, who originally planned to go to the Stone Stele Forest today, also thought it would be better to go down the mountain and get a good sleep.

As for Bai Zifang, she couldn't hold on for a long time. She had a stomachache yesterday, even though she took medicine.But after sleeping on the ground all night and catching the cold again, my stomach still felt uncomfortable, and I needed to go down the mountain to see a doctor.

"Yingyu, where do you live? How can I find you?" Qin Jiaze scratched his head and said to the lover in front of him in a somewhat bewildered manner.So to speak, lover!Now that the big man has confessed his love, he should be more straightforward.

For a novice in love, it can't be more sad to say goodbye indefinitely immediately after confessing successfully.Although it would be too hypocritical for two 'men' to talk about love, there is no need to stick together all the time, but this parting is really not a good feeling!

As soon as they got off the mountain, the two groups of people were about to separate.Ying Yu still has business to do, so he can't go back to the inn with them.

Ying Yu smiled and said in front of Qin Jiaze, "I still have important things to do, you go back to the inn to rest first. If I have time in the evening, I will go to you again. You don't have to worry about me, I will find time to rest."

"Hehe, you've said everything I want to say, what else can I say? Okay, you go first." Qin Jiaze couldn't help laughing, this is the shortcoming of acquaintances falling in love, too familiar, every word and deed Know what to do next.

"Well. I'll go first. See you tonight." Ying Yu also agreed with a tacit smile.

The two separated, and Qin Jiaze and the three slowly walked back to the inn.

Bai Zifang held back for a long time on the way down the mountain, and now she finally had a chance to ask a question.Bai Zifang squinted her eyes, slapped her friend on the shoulder with one hand, and said earnestly, "Ah Ze! If you are a friend, please be honest. What did you guys do in the morning? In just half a day, this relationship will be different!"

Qin Jiaze reached out and threw the hand on his shoulder, without hiding it, and replied with a smile on his face, "Yes! Let's go to see the sunrise. As for the relationship, I promised to give him earrings. He also agreed to accept it .”

"Ear studs." Bai Zifang screamed, with a surprised expression on his face, "Ah Ze, you are really good enough to give ear studs."

The implication of father giving earrings or earrings to brother means expressing love to the other party in Daqin.It can be said to be the modern equivalent of an engagement ring, and even more important than that.If the other party accepts it, it means accepting their wishes, and they can talk about marriage.

That's why Bai Zifang was so surprised.

The friends were all gone, and Bai Zifang came back to her senses, muttering, "Do I have to find someone to watch the sun go out, is it really so effective? Hey, just wait for me."

Qin Jiaze walked leisurely, thinking silently in his heart, can I tell you, was it because he couldn't think of words at that time that he suddenly asked this sentence!

hehe!cannot.

Back at the inn, Qin Jiaze called for hot water and took a comfortable bath.Resting my head on the side of the bucket, I closed my eyes and recalled in my heart that the scene of confession at that time felt like a dream.

It was light and illusory, but my reason told me that it was real.Qin Jiaze, you have confessed your love, you are in love!

"Wow!" Qin Jiaze picked up the water and threw it on his face. Even if he was impulsive, it was the most genuine reaction in his heart, so admit it!

"Wow!" Qin Jiaze is now about 1.8 meters, neither tall nor short, and he just stepped out of the bathtub when he raised his leg.

Qin Jiaze dried himself off, put on his nightgown, walked to the table, spread paper and ground it, what kind of earrings should he design, it should be unique!
