Chapter 17 eating vegetarian talk
After hearing what the farmer said, Yataro Oni Kojima was very interested and said, "Go! It seems very interesting."
"Of course, beautiful and martial arts, we really want to see it!" Others also said.
Xinbingwei laughed and said, "When I heard that she was a beautiful nun, I became excited. This is not good!"
Yataro smiled embarrassedly and said: "We are not lustful people. In the past, there was Mrs. Ba, who was a concubine of Mrs. Kiso. Hit for reference!"
"Why use it as a reference in the future?"
Xinbingwei was quite puzzled. He turned to look at Jing Hu, thinking that Jing Hu might not want to live in a nunnery, but Jing Hu silently nodded.He had no choice but to say: "Okay! We can't sleep in the wilderness, we have to go and bother for a night!"
After leaving the house, the group headed towards the nunnery.
Zhongshan is the place where Miyagawa and Gaoyuanchuan flow, and the river is called Shentongchuan from now on.Ni'an walks four to five hundred meters along the Miyagawa street, and less than one hundred meters into the mountain road on the left, where birches, maples, cedars and cypresses grow intertwined, and the gravel path in the forest ends.
It was already dark, but there were still cicadas chirping in the forest, and the beautiful cry of river deer came from the unknown stream.Jinghu heard the cry, and the memory of Songjiang taking care of him in his childhood was intertwined in his chest.
He heard that Songjiang was captured in the Battle of Chengtan Field, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.Some people said that she resisted Shenbao Sakyo and was killed, while others said that she seduced the guards, killed the guards and fled.Jing Hu believed that Song Jiang was not the kind of woman who would seduce men, so she must have resisted and was killed.
He always thought so, but just now, after hearing what the people said, he felt that the nun might be Songjiang, and she also had amazing strength and beauty.The timing is also very coincidental. The war happened when the flowers bloomed in the warm spring. If she escaped after being arrested and hid elsewhere for a while, it would probably be summer.
"If it's really Songjiang, how old is she?" Jing Hu quietly calculated in his mind: "She was eighteen when I was five, and we are thirteen years apart, so we should be twenty-eight now."
Although she is as vulgar as a man, Jinghu's chest is filled with all kinds of memories of sincerely taking care of herself.
They arrived at the monastery before it was all dark.The monastery is quite large, but not as barren as imagined. Not far behind the main hall is the temple kitchen.Candles were faintly lit inside, exuding the aroma of cooking food. "Excuse me……" They knocked on the door bolt, and the nun came out with a pine oil lamp in one hand and a cane in the other.She was dressed in white with a white belt, and she walked briskly like a man.The oil lamp was slightly dim, and her face could not be seen clearly. Shinbei said, "Good night!" "Good night!" After she returned the salute, she stared at Xinbingwei and said, "Although you are dressed as wandering monks, are you real practitioners who want to stay overnight, or do you want to bully me as a nun living in the mountains? If you want to stay overnight, of course you can, only If you want to bully me, how about a battle in front of the main hall?" That voice was so familiar, Jinghu also saw her face clearly, stepped forward and said, "Is it Matsue? I'm Tiger Chiyo, Jinghu!" "what!" The lamp oil in Songjiang's hand almost fell off, leaning on his crutches, he approached Jing Hu cautiously, held the lamp and looked at Jing Hu's face for a while, then suddenly shook his crutches, and knelt forward as if collapsing, "Master Hu!" Covering his face with his sleeve, he burst into tears. The five people including Xinbingwei also knew about Songjiang, and felt that it was a fortuitous encounter to meet again like this today.After Songjiang stopped crying, they reported their names.Although Matsue was happy to meet again, he didn't know whether he was thinking of the defeat of Tanye, or the prosperity of the Nagao family in the past. After hearing the names of the five people, his face was full of new tears. After finally suppressing her grief, she sent everyone to the hall and led them to the Zen room behind the kitchen. Although Songjiang has a manly personality, she is very diligent and always has something to do. Seeing that the room is tidy and tidy, she can tell that her habit has not changed. "This meditation room is for Master Hu. The others go to the main hall. It is more spacious. I will take you there later. You can chat with Master Hu here first, and I will prepare food. You must be hungry too! " After speaking, Songjiang exited the door.Her movements were quick and neat. She ran to the vegetable garden behind to pull some vegetables, went to the kitchen to bang on the cutting board, and went in and out of the storage room in front of the kitchen. It didn't take long for her to return to the kitchen full of sweat. Jing Hu's room: "It's all done, let's eat!" The six people, who were already hungry, couldn't wait to go to the kitchen. There is a large pot on the kang stove, and something is cooking in the pot, and the aroma of miso makes people salivate. Songjiang first filled a large bowl of rice for Jinghu, and then served rice to Xinbingwei and others in sequence. The taste of the cauldron is very good, besides green vegetables and mountain vegetables, there seems to be game. Jing Hu picked up a piece of something and asked curiously, "What is this? Isn't this a temple where you eat fast and chant Buddha?" Songjiang giggled and said: "It's good that this is a monastery, but in this deep mountain, you can't eat fast all the time! It's fine in summer, but it's windy and snowy in winter. How can you survive just eating fast? So I asked the people's family Buy some wild boars, bears, and deer that they catch, rub salt and dry them, or pickle them in miso, and occasionally cut a few slices and mix them with vegetables to cook. There is nothing wrong! Who says monks and nuns Do you have to eat fast? I heard that Sakyamuni even drank milk to replenish his strength, only those who don’t know the cold and cold in the mountains in winter will say that the family can only eat fast!” She spoke clearly and logically, and everyone thought it was quite reasonable. She went on to say: "I didn't expect you to come today. I'm so happy. To celebrate the reunion, I put everything in. There are bear meat, pork, venison and rabbit meat. It's delicious!" Jing Hu and the others expressed their gratitude, but then worried that she was so generous to each other, so what would she eat in winter? She replied easily: "I'll talk about the matter later, the big deal is to go to the village chief's house to beg for something. There is nothing to worry about, but you should eat well!"
After eating, Songjiang brewed the tea that he picked in the mountains, which was sweet and refreshing. "After drinking the tea, you go back to Master Hu's room and sit down. I'll come when I pack up." Everyone returned to the main hall of the inner house at the back, and after a short wait, Matsue came. She had washed her face and hands, and changed into a set of white kimono, looking refreshed.Although the clean-shaven head was weird, a mature charm spread all over her body, and she looked more beautiful than before. After sitting down, they began to chat with each other.Jing Hu talked about what happened after the farewell, and Song Jiang talked about what happened to Bing Tanye afterward. "I was captured alive by the vassal of Jinbao Zuo Jingjin, Mr. Maida. If I hadn't been exhausted from fighting for a long time, and they had a large number of people, how could I have been captured alive by him? However, he is not a bad person, and he is kind to me. And sent a young man to take care of me. I killed the young man while he was out, stole the horse and fled. I first climbed over the mountain and reached the bank of Shentong River, but I had a bad feeling, so I turned to Changan Temple River and walked along the I went up the river and went to the mountain village near the Lumao Temple at the foot of Lishan Mountain. I became a daughter at the village head’s house. It didn’t take long to know that Shenbao sent people everywhere to arrest me. Lumao Village is the territory of Lumao Temple. Officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter without permission, so the pursuers are also not allowed to come. Catch me. But the villagers kept pointing at me, and some even wanted to report to Shenbao. I thought it was not an option to go on like this, so I ran into Lumao Temple to ask for help. I thought that the one who planned to follow the lord to death in battle is already a relic, so it’s okay to become a monk. The abbot saw that I agreed, cut my hair on the spot, put on the vestment, took the Buddhist name Songmiao Ni, and told me about the temple in this village. It has been left unattended for a long time, and I was asked to tell the village chief to let me live in. Because it is located in a remote mountain, and it is the territory of another country, Shenbao dare not invade, so it should be very safe, so I came here.” She cried while talking, and everyone wept along with her.Oni Kojima Yataro was the most moved. He kept wiping away his tears with his arms, and suddenly said: "Even as a woman, you have this kind of spirit. You can't even mention Haruki Gong from Kasuga Mountain. My mind is there all day long." As for the sisters and brothers in Kyoto, they neither intend to avenge the former lord, nor to put down the domestic rebellion. Master Jinghu couldn't see it, so he rushed from Pipa Island to Chunri Mountain to speak out. My lord, but I really look down on you from the bottom of my heart!" Songjiang heard this, and said with a weird smile: "He is a weirdo. He even pulled my sleeve before, and I threw it away forcefully, hitting him in the stomach, and he lay down for four or five days before recovering. I said he was a weirdo. That's right. Who would pull the sleeves of my father's concubine? He is sick." Everyone heard this for the first time, and they couldn't help but looked at each other in blank dismay.Although Jinghu felt that Qingjing was a ruthless person, it was even more embarrassing.He bit his lip tightly, his eyes fixed on the light without moving. They stayed in the temple for a few days. Although the journey was hasty, Songjiang insisted on staying, and it was difficult to refuse. At the same time, the years in the mountains were indeed very comfortable.During the day, the oriole twitters non-stop in the valley, and the sound of the bird is beautiful and moving. On the afternoon of the fifth day, when Jinghu was walking alone in the forest behind the temple, Xinbingwei came over suddenly and said with a smile: "There is something new!" His expression seemed to suppress the smile that was about to explode.
Jing Hu waited for Xinbingwei to explain, watching Xinbingwei silently.Stared at by his clear eyes, Xinbingwei hesitated a little, as if he didn't know what to say or not. "Yes... Matsumiya seems to have a special heart for Yataro." "Especially caring?" Jing Hu didn't understand the meaning of these words at all, he had never had the experience of lust, even if he felt it, it was as hazy as looking at the distant mountains through the mist. As soon as Xin Bingwei said it, he regretted it. Originally, he just wanted to mention it as a joke, but Jing Hu responded so seriously that he had to bite the bullet and explain: "It's like being obsessed." "What?!" Jing Hu was shocked, "Really?!" "It seems so." Jing Hu looked up at the sky, and the white clouds flowed through the blue sky among the cedars that towered like long pillars.The clouds are white and bright, like sheets of thin cotton.One piece passed, and another piece came, without interruption, Jing Hu just stared at it. "How did you see that?" "She often stares at Yataro, the eyes a woman looks at a man she loves." "……anything else?" "She has a different voice when she speaks to Yataro, it's beautiful and soft, and it's completely different from when she speaks to the rest of us." "and also?" "That's all I can say. Things like this are mostly experienced by feeling, and it's hard to explain in words." Jing Hu's heart is quite complicated.He was surprised and angry that Songjiang was no different from ordinary women, that she had a heart for men, and that she had a deep desire for the world.He has a mother-like feeling towards Songjiang, and children don't like their mother's lust, even if the object is their father.This psychology may be due to seeing the mother as a symbol of holiness, or it may be due to jealousy.In short, Jing Hu seemed to be angry at the moment. After a while of silence, he asked, "How is Yataro?" "Although he is a rough man, he is more or less sensitive to this kind of thing, and always feels that he is restless." Jing Hu found himself getting more and more unhappy.He walked a few steps, stopped beside a big cedar tree, tapped on the trunk, and then turned around suddenly: "Then what should we do?" "In that case, let's leave tomorrow! Yataro is twenty-five years old this year, Mrs. Songjiang is two or three years younger than him, and there is nothing wrong with being a married couple. However, Mrs. Songjiang is now a nun, praying for the late lord , it is better for us to leave before the trouble is caused." "I think so too." Jing Hu breathed a sigh of relief. That night, when everyone gathered for dinner, Xinbingwei said to everyone: "I didn't expect us to disturb you here for such a long time, but we still have important things to do. We should finish our tour of various countries as soon as possible and return home as soon as possible. I think we will start tomorrow." Bar!" Song Jiang was filling the pot on the stove, upon hearing this, he immediately stopped his work and looked over here.She stared straight at Xinbei and asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?" "Yes, I'm really ashamed to ask you to entertain me these days. Although we have attachments in our hearts, we still have urgent matters to do, and we will repay the hospitality in the future." Songjiang's rosy face suddenly turned pale, "Since I have to leave, I have no reason to force me to stay, but why didn't I say it earlier? I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm just saying now..." Her voice was hoarse and trembling. "I'm sorry, I was negligent." Xinbei apologized. Songjiang stopped talking and continued to serve food, and his attitude gradually returned to normal.Jinghu looked at Yataro's reaction, but he couldn't see any special changes. At this moment, he seemed to be more focused on the dinner, staring at the bowl without squinting, like a child who swallowed and waited for his mother to distribute food. As usual, Matsue served Jinghu the rice first, but immediately served it to Yataro.Yataro hurriedly said, "It's not me, this should belong to Shinbei." "It doesn't matter. I want to give it to you first today. I can't help but like you, but you are leaving tomorrow. At least I can do this. I respect you for a bowl of rice. You can eat with peace of mind!" Songjiang's voice was indeed soft and sweet, but still showed a sense of ambition, but the euphemism seemed rather funny.Everyone laughed, and Yataro blushed. Xinbingwei said: "If someone respects you with a bowl of rice, you should thank him well!" Everyone couldn't help laughing. Songjiang blushed for the first time, from his neck to his shaved head. "You can laugh as much as you like. After you leave, I will stay alone in this deserted mountain temple, and then be buried by the heavy snow. If I don't become a nun, I can be with you Let's go, and get Master Tiger's permission to be Yataro's wife, but I'm really sorry!" Her voice was choked up, and while wiping her tears with her sleeves, she distributed food to others, her appearance was both strange and pitiful.Everyone was silent, and Yataro was the only one who was eating alone.He was probably embarrassed too!He couldn't take his eyes off, but steam was rising from his neck.
After dinner, after chatting for a while, Jing Hu returned to the main hall of the inner house, while the others returned to the main hall. Songjiang himself also started to eat.She was eating the already cold food, wiping her tears from time to time, thinking: "They are leaving tomorrow, and I am alone again." Before this, she had never felt that life here was very lonely.At night, she heard owls screaming terribly, or monkeys crawled under the eaves. She was not afraid, and she has survived to this day, but now looking back on the past, she feels that she has endured hardships. Matsue doesn't think that she is cowardly and fell in love with Yataro Oni Kojima, her love for Yataro seems to be a little different.She had never felt this way about a man.She is loved by Wei Jing, and she also serves Wei Jing wholeheartedly. Although that is also a kind of love, it is not the love of a woman for a man.But this time is different, she likes everything about Yataro, she loves everything, as long as she is close to him and talks to him, there will be trembling joy in her heart. Yataro is Ma Huizhong who is the king. He knew Matsue before, but he didn't have any emotional concern for her.But Songjiang didn't think so, she forced herself to believe: "I've liked Yataro since then, but I just followed the lord and suppressed this layer of yearning." She ate while thinking about it, but she ate so much that she even ate up the rest of the food. "Oh, tell me to eat it up!" I couldn't help but giggle. She took the pots, pans and chopsticks to the water source at the back door of the kitchen to rinse, and the moon of Thirteen Nights was broken into pieces in the flowing water. While washing the bowls and chopsticks, she thought again: "He is leaving tomorrow, I'm afraid we will never see each other again after this farewell..." Tears couldn't help but she let the tears hang on her face and washed herself.
There was silence in the temple.The main hall of the back house where Jing Hu slept and the main hall where his followers slept had all been turned off, and there were bursts of snoring.In the woods and valleys around the monastery, nocturnal beasts roamed about, and owls hooted among the branches, and the hoarse cry of "mile-mile-" sounded really lonely.The moon hangs high in the middle of the sky, and when the moon tilts slightly to the west, the earth is filled with fog for no reason. The fog rose from the bottom of the Miyagawa valley, covered the deep valley in a blink of an eye, split into several strands and floated up the mountain.Riding on the breeze, the fog wrapped around the tree trunks and bushes like cotton yarn, and the later ones wrapped around the previous ones. The fog became thicker and thicker, and the eyes were so vast that even the moon in the sky could not be seen. Songjiang lay beside the kang stove in the dining room, but couldn't sleep.She couldn't relax her body, as soon as her hands and feet touched the cold floor, her whole body tensed up immediately.The wooden pillow that usually sleeps very well also feels hard at this moment, and the neck hurts when touched.She turned over several times, finally sat up and said, "Hey! Can't sleep!" She fastened her belt and walked out of the dining room. The cold night air and mist were blowing head-on.Although the moon cannot be seen, because the moonlight is dissolved into the tiny particles, the mist turns into a pearly color.She was used to the fog, and walked forward with her shoulders shrunk.Although she couldn't see clearly, she knew the way very well. She walked to the entrance of the main hall without hesitation and stood outside the door. The door of the main hall was open, and the fog flowed into it, and there were snoring sounds one after another in the fog.She didn't go in, so she stood outside the door and called, "Yataro-kun!" She didn't deliberately lower her voice.She believed that Yataro would wake up when she said this, and she thought that Yataro would miss herself as much as she missed him, and she believed that Yataro must have a heart if she was so sincere. Her belief seemed to be working, and one of the snoring sounds actually stopped. "I'm Songjiang, come out for a moment." After finishing speaking, she went straight to the courtyard, she believed that Yataro would definitely come. As expected, Yataro came out and asked sleepily, "What are you doing? What can I do for you at this time?" He yawned. Without saying a word, Matsue stretched out his hand and slapped Yataro across the face. "what are you doing?" "How can anyone yawn in front of the woman they love!" "What? What love?" "You love me, don't you? I'm fascinated by you like that, and you are also fascinated by me, aren't you? Ask yourself!" Yataro didn't speak, but thought in his heart. "Don't say it here, this is in front of the Buddha's throne, and he doesn't like men and women to talk about love in front of him." Matsue pulled Yataro's sleeves and walked out, and Yataro obediently followed behind.Although he was a little confused, he was nervous and excited.In fact, without waiting for Song Jiangming to say, he also knows that he likes her, but whether he likes her or not, he doesn't know if he can say he is in love.It's just that whenever Songjiang treats him kindly, he always feels warm and excited for no reason. Songjiang led him into the forest. "It's fine here, sit down and talk." She asked Yataro to sit on a rock, and she sat beside her. "I have something to tell you. Since the two of us are interested in each other, we should form a husband and wife." Yataro was startled again.He also has no love experience, but it's not that he has never played with women, those are just out of physical needs.At least in his opinion, if a man and a woman are happy, it must be the man who takes the initiative, but now Songjiang is doing the opposite, which makes him dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
They arrived at the monastery before it was all dark.The monastery is quite large, but not as barren as imagined. Not far behind the main hall is the temple kitchen.Candles were faintly lit inside, exuding the aroma of cooking food. "Excuse me……" They knocked on the door bolt, and the nun came out with a pine oil lamp in one hand and a cane in the other.She was dressed in white with a white belt, and she walked briskly like a man.The oil lamp was slightly dim, and her face could not be seen clearly. Shinbei said, "Good night!" "Good night!" After she returned the salute, she stared at Xinbingwei and said, "Although you are dressed as wandering monks, are you real practitioners who want to stay overnight, or do you want to bully me as a nun living in the mountains? If you want to stay overnight, of course you can, only If you want to bully me, how about a battle in front of the main hall?" That voice was so familiar, Jinghu also saw her face clearly, stepped forward and said, "Is it Matsue? I'm Tiger Chiyo, Jinghu!" "what!" The lamp oil in Songjiang's hand almost fell off, leaning on his crutches, he approached Jing Hu cautiously, held the lamp and looked at Jing Hu's face for a while, then suddenly shook his crutches, and knelt forward as if collapsing, "Master Hu!" Covering his face with his sleeve, he burst into tears. The five people including Xinbingwei also knew about Songjiang, and felt that it was a fortuitous encounter to meet again like this today.After Songjiang stopped crying, they reported their names.Although Matsue was happy to meet again, he didn't know whether he was thinking of the defeat of Tanye, or the prosperity of the Nagao family in the past.

She ran to the vegetable garden behind to pull some vegetables, went to the kitchen to bang on the cutting board, and went in and out of the storage room in front of the kitchen. It didn't take long for her to return to the kitchen full of sweat. Jing Hu's room: "It's all done, let's eat!" The six people, who were already hungry, couldn't wait to go to the kitchen.

That night, when everyone gathered for dinner, Xinbingwei said to everyone: "I didn't expect us to disturb you here for such a long time, but we still have important things to do. We should finish our tour of various countries as soon as possible and return home as soon as possible. I think we will start tomorrow." Bar!" Song Jiang was filling the pot on the stove, upon hearing this, he immediately stopped his work and looked over here.She stared straight at Xinbei and asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?" "Yes, I'm really ashamed to ask you to entertain me these days. Although we have attachments in our hearts, we still have urgent matters to do, and we will repay the hospitality in the future." Songjiang's rosy face suddenly turned pale, "Since I have to leave, I have no reason to force me to stay, but why didn't I say it earlier? I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm just saying now..." Her voice was hoarse and trembling. "I'm sorry, I was negligent." Xinbei apologized. Songjiang stopped talking and continued to serve food, and his attitude gradually returned to normal.Jinghu looked at Yataro's reaction, but he couldn't see any special changes. At this moment, he seemed to be more focused on the dinner, staring at the bowl without squinting, like a child who swallowed and waited for his mother to distribute food. As usual, Matsue served Jinghu the rice first, but immediately served it to Yataro.Yataro hurriedly said, "It's not me, this should belong to Shinbei." "It doesn't matter. I want to give it to you first today. I can't help but like you, but you are leaving tomorrow. At least I can do this. I respect you for a bowl of rice. You can eat with peace of mind!" Songjiang's voice was indeed soft and sweet, but still showed a sense of ambition, but the euphemism seemed rather funny.Everyone laughed, and Yataro blushed. Xinbingwei said: "If someone respects you with a bowl of rice, you should thank him well!" Everyone couldn't help laughing. Songjiang blushed for the first time, from his neck to his shaved head. "You can laugh as much as you like. After you leave, I will stay alone in this deserted mountain temple, and then be buried by the heavy snow. If I don't become a nun, I can be with you Let's go, and get Master Tiger's permission to be Yataro's wife, but I'm really sorry!" Her voice was choked up, and while wiping her tears with her sleeves, she distributed food to others, her appearance was both strange and pitiful.Everyone was silent, and Yataro was the only one who was eating alone.He was probably embarrassed too!He couldn't take his eyes off, but steam was rising from his neck.
After dinner, after chatting for a while, Jing Hu returned to the main hall of the inner house, while the others returned to the main hall. Songjiang himself also started to eat.She was eating the already cold food, wiping her tears from time to time, thinking: "They are leaving tomorrow, and I am alone again." Before this, she had never felt that life here was very lonely.At night, she heard owls screaming terribly, or monkeys crawled under the eaves. She was not afraid, and she has survived to this day, but now looking back on the past, she feels that she has endured hardships. Matsue doesn't think that she is cowardly and fell in love with Yataro Oni Kojima, her love for Yataro seems to be a little different.She had never felt this way about a man.She is loved by Wei Jing, and she also serves Wei Jing wholeheartedly. Although that is also a kind of love, it is not the love of a woman for a man.But this time is different, she likes everything about Yataro, she loves everything, as long as she is close to him and talks to him, there will be trembling joy in her heart. Yataro is Ma Huizhong who is the king. He knew Matsue before, but he didn't have any emotional concern for her.But Songjiang didn't think so, she forced herself to believe: "I've liked Yataro since then, but I just followed the lord and suppressed this layer of yearning." She ate while thinking about it, but she ate so much that she even ate up the rest of the food. "Oh, tell me to eat it up!" I couldn't help but giggle. She took the pots, pans and chopsticks to the water source at the back door of the kitchen to rinse, and the moon of Thirteen Nights was broken into pieces in the flowing water. While washing the bowls and chopsticks, she thought again: "He is leaving tomorrow, I'm afraid we will never see each other again after this farewell..." Tears couldn't help but she let the tears hang on her face and washed herself.
There was silence in the temple.The main hall of the back house where Jing Hu slept and the main hall where his followers slept had all been turned off, and there were bursts of snoring.In the woods and valleys around the monastery, nocturnal beasts roamed about, and owls hooted among the branches, and the hoarse cry of "mile-mile-" sounded really lonely.The moon hangs high in the middle of the sky, and when the moon tilts slightly to the west, the earth is filled with fog for no reason. The fog rose from the bottom of the Miyagawa valley, covered the deep valley in a blink of an eye, split into several strands and floated up the mountain.Riding on the breeze, the fog wrapped around the tree trunks and bushes like cotton yarn, and the later ones wrapped around the previous ones. The fog became thicker and thicker, and the eyes were so vast that even the moon in the sky could not be seen. Songjiang lay beside the kang stove in the dining room, but couldn't sleep.She couldn't relax her body, as soon as her hands and feet touched the cold floor, her whole body tensed up immediately.The wooden pillow that usually sleeps very well also feels hard at this moment, and the neck hurts when touched.She turned over several times, finally sat up and said, "Hey! Can't sleep!" She fastened her belt and walked out of the dining room. The cold night air and mist were blowing head-on.Although the moon cannot be seen, because the moonlight is dissolved into the tiny particles, the mist turns into a pearly color.She was used to the fog, and walked forward with her shoulders shrunk.Although she couldn't see clearly, she knew the way very well. She walked to the entrance of the main hall without hesitation and stood outside the door. The door of the main hall was open, and the fog flowed into it, and there were snoring sounds one after another in the fog.She didn't go in, so she stood outside the door and called, "Yataro-kun!" She didn't deliberately lower her voice.She believed that Yataro would wake up when she said this, and she thought that Yataro would miss herself as much as she missed him, and she believed that Yataro must have a heart if she was so sincere. Her belief seemed to be working, and one of the snoring sounds actually stopped. "I'm Songjiang, come out for a moment." After finishing speaking, she went straight to the courtyard, she believed that Yataro would definitely come. As expected, Yataro came out and asked sleepily, "What are you doing? What can I do for you at this time?" He yawned. Without saying a word, Matsue stretched out his hand and slapped Yataro across the face. "what are you doing?" "How can anyone yawn in front of the woman they love!" "What? What love?" "You love me, don't you? I'm fascinated by you like that, and you are also fascinated by me, aren't you? Ask yourself!" Yataro didn't speak, but thought in his heart. "Don't say it here, this is in front of the Buddha's throne, and he doesn't like men and women to talk about love in front of him." Matsue pulled Yataro's sleeves and walked out, and Yataro obediently followed behind.Although he was a little confused, he was nervous and excited.In fact, without waiting for Song Jiangming to say, he also knows that he likes her, but whether he likes her or not, he doesn't know if he can say he is in love.It's just that whenever Songjiang treats him kindly, he always feels warm and excited for no reason. Songjiang led him into the forest. "It's fine here, sit down and talk." She asked Yataro to sit on a rock, and she sat beside her. "I have something to tell you. Since the two of us are interested in each other, we should form a husband and wife." Yataro was startled again.He also has no love experience, but it's not that he has never played with women, those are just out of physical needs.At least in his opinion, if a man and a woman are happy, it must be the man who takes the initiative, but now Songjiang is doing the opposite, which makes him dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
