Chapter 2 Boating

On the green grassland, Jiulong carried the whip and enjoyed the rare silence. The sheep all over the mountains and fields ran happily on the grassland and quietly nibbled on the rich pastures.

Plop-

Kowloon fell straight down. He lay on a sponge-like grass mat, his eyes drifting on the white clouds in the sky. Sometimes the eagle circled, the birds flew, smelling the fragrant grass, and Jiulong narrowed his eyes enjoying it. I don't know when, sleepiness hit... He returned to the bloody battlefield, and the murderous atmosphere over the battlefield was boiling and slowly twisted, turning into Mesomena's bloody face.

A jujube-red horse, carrying Helen, ran on the boundless field, and the breeze blew Helen's gauze, floating like a fairy, and the long whip sometimes made a crisp whistle...

yu——

Helen jumped off the horse's backlightly, rippled with joyful laughter, and gently picked off a dog tail grass, and the furry dog tail grass slowly climbed up Kowloon's face.

Kowloon reached out and grabbed the naughty dog tail grass, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Helen with a red face, and said slowly, "Hellen, you disturbed my beautiful dream!"

"Brother Jiulong..." Helen's face was red, but after listening to Jiulong's words, she was silent. She lowered her head and played with the dog's tail grass in her hand boringly. After a long time, she slowly said, "Brother Jiulong, did you think of Mesomea again just now!"

Kowloon raised his sad eyes, looked up at the lonely geese in the sky, and nodded vaguely. Uh-huh!"

Listening to Jiulong's words, a drop of crystal tears slipped down Helen's face... Suddenly, Helen fell into Jiulong's arms, and her weak body sobbed, "Brother Jiulong, do you want to leave Helen!"

"Hae..." Jiulong hugged Helen's body and felt the reluctance. After a long time, he said slowly, "Hellen, Brother Jiulong has been here for more than a month. Brother Jiulong still has a lot of things to do... Maybe, many years later, Brother Jiulong will come to see Helen!"

"No!" Helen's voice was hoarse, and her sobbing became more and more obvious. "Brother Jiulong, the grass here is very beautiful, and the life here is very happy. You can stay and accompany Helen to herd sheep, ride horses together, and take care of Dad until the end!"

"Hellen..." Jiulong was speechless. He could only use the remaining temperature of his body to comfort Helen's weak heart.

"Brother Jiulong... Helen has been deeply in love with you in the past month, and Helen is reluctant to let you leave!" Helen let her eyes burst into tears. She poured out her gushing feelings. Perhaps, after today, such an opportunity will be gone forever. "Or, Brother Jiulong, as long as you take Helen, Helen will work hard and complain, just pity her old father..."

......

At night, a round of lonely moon quietly climbed into the sky. Jiulong sat in front of the window, looked up at the bright moon, and fell into deep memories. The stars in the sky blinked happily and happily revealed their language.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The gentle tapping sound pulled the fantasy Jiulong back to reality. Jiulong turned his head and jumped into his eyes with his father-in-law with a sad face. Jiulong quickly got up and greeted his father-in-law respectfully.

"Son, are you leaving!" The father-in-law looked at Jiulong carefully and said slowly for a long time.

Jiulong didn't say anything. He buried his head and sat quietly.

The father-in-law looked at Jiulong's expression and said slowly, "So, you are leaving!"

"Yes, uncle!" Jiulong answered gently.

My father-in-law seemed to have expected Jiulong's answer like this. He clicked his heavy eyes and said slowly, "Son, old man, I'll ask you one favor!"

"Uncle, please say that no matter what it is, I will do my best!" Kowloon quickly stood up and made a sound guarantee.

"Come on, kid, sit down and talk!" The old father-in-law stretched out his thick hand and kindly grabbed Jiulong's hand. He took Jiulong and sat beside him. Slowly, his hand trembled. He gently stroked Jiulong's long hair, with fatherly love, and slowly said, "Hellen, she is the only daughter of the old man. I am an old woman. The old man was very happy. However, Helen's mother died because she gave birth to Helen..."

The father-in-law's voice swallowed hard, and a tear slowly flowed down, seeping into the dense crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

"Uncle..." Jiulong spoke quickly, but was pulled by his father-in-law.

The father-in-law wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Son, Helen is a good daughter of an old man. She has no mother since she was a child. She can't eat or drink well with me... I remember that she got sick..."

The father-in-law's voice trembled gently. He stroked Jiulong's face, as if looking at his son-in-law, and explained everything kindly. "The old man knows his daughter's thoughts best. The old man has already seen that Helen likes you. The old man is such a daughter. The old man can't bear it... However, the old man doesn't want his daughter to be appointed. qu!"

My father-in-law cried sadly. He gently took out a small silk shoe from his arms and said tremblingly, "Look, this is Helen's mother when she was pregnant. However, Helen's mother died and the old man was heartbroken, so he didn't give this little shoe to Helen and secretly stored it by himself. Get up... At that time, the strange old man was fascinated for a moment. Helen never wore shoes when she was little, and her little feet were punctured by the grass..."

The father-in-law wiped his tears again, and his voice was a little calmer. "Now that the little girl has grown up, the old man has this shoe as a souvenir. After she left, it is enough for the old man to have these shoes by her."

"Take her away and let her live a happy life, and the old man will be relieved!" The old man slowly stood up, his crumpy body, and slowly walked out of the door.

"Uncle..." Jiulong looked at the vicissitudes of his father-in-law and stopped talking.

"Oh!" My father-in-law seemed to suddenly ring something. He groped from his pocket for a while, took out a small jade pendant, and slowly handed it over to Jiulong's hand. "Just now, the old man was so sad that he forgot the business. This jade pendant was handed over to you by the god that day. The god said, before you leave, he asked you to take this jade pendant. A trip to Tianshen Mountain.

After saying that, the old father-in-law moved a crescent voice and slowly walked out of the door. Jiulong rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and quickly shouted, "Uncle, Helen..."

My father-in-law did not look back, only came a faint exhortation, "Child, take Helen away. You have to take care of Helen in the future. If Helen gives birth to a child, bring it back to let the old man see his grandson..."

The father-in-law's voice disappeared, and his figure disappeared. Kowloon's godless eyes looked at the empty felt tent, and Mesomea's figure slowly coincided with Helen's figure... His look was confused. Helen was a good girl, but Mesomea filled his heart early...

The next day, the sun was shining. Helen got up early and packed her clothes. She was wearing tights, a cloak outside, a hat, covering her face with white gauze, and carrying her bags, as if she were a female chivalrous woman who had killed the world, but she lacked a sword.

On the riverside, Jiulong wears a coarse cloth shirt and a cloak, but his feet are wearing military boots, wrist guards, waist protectors, etc. are all soldiers' clothes. The hair on the top of his head is tied into a bunch, and the back is casually scattered. With the breeze, it is slowly bulging. The dragon knife was inserted diagonally on the back, tied with the meteor bow, and took Helen's hand with vigorous steps. The two crossed a grassland and boarded a boat down the water.

Standing in the bow, Jiulong looked up, the lush mountains were constantly regressing, the leisurely white clouds were floating, and sometimes there was a crisp and pleasant sound of birds and the roar of beasts in the mountains. In can't help but take a sip of the wine pot in his hand and laugh: "In the colorful clouds of the White Emperor, thousands of miles of Jiangling will return in one day; the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the canoe has crossed thousands of mountains!"

Helen and Jiulong stood side by side, looking at the beautiful scenery and gradually forgetting the sad parting. She gently picked up the white veil in front of her, revealing her fair face. Looking at the mountains and obstacles with a blurred look, listening to the birds singing and the beasts wailing.

Helen gently took Jiulong's arm, and the sound of jingling like a river slowly sounded: "Brother Jiulong, the scenery here is so beautiful!"

"It's beautiful!" Jiulong nodded undeniably, "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the beautiful women and wine are snuggled together. Life is like this, what can I ask for!"
