Chapter 650 Why keep staring at me?
"Huh?" Zhou Ji looked at Yang Chan suspiciously, and suddenly said, "Oh~ you mean the Seventh Princess and Dong Yong? I don't know Dong Yong, and I'm not very familiar with the Seventh Princess. For me, Since you are serving in the Heavenly Court, you should abide by the rules of heaven honestly, but if it is Erlang and his younger siblings, then it is a different matter."
"It's okay to target outsiders with the rules of the sky, and it doesn't matter to our own people." Zhou Ji raised a smirk at the corner of his mouth, and raised his eyebrows: "I'm actually quite a double standard."
'what about me'
Yang Chan's red lips parted slightly, and she looked up at Zhou Ji as if she wanted to say something, but stopped again.
Zhou Ji's eyes flickered, as if he didn't see it, he turned to look at the distant mountains, and said in silence for a moment, "By the way, didn't I say before that I failed to break through the immortal way, so I have to retreat for a while? When I arrived at the Heavenly Court, Nezha insisted on retreating with her, and I agreed to her."
Yang Chan's face turned pale, and she tried to force a smile, but the corner of her mouth moved but she still couldn't smile, "Really? That's pretty good, how long will Brother Zhou go to retreat? When do you plan to go there?"
"Well, I promised to accompany you back to Guanjiangkou earlier. When do you want to go back, let's go back together. Let's go when we come back from Guanjiangkou." Zhou Ji thought seriously, resting his chin.
"Brother Zhou, you don't have to worry about me so much. Didn't you always worry that the Buddha who appeared that day would come to trouble you? Why don't you go to Nezha?"
Yang Chan lowered her head and lowered her eyes, her light voice seemed to use up all her strength, "I'm no longer the little girl who couldn't do anything without Brother Zhou's protection, Second Brother often visits me, and I have a lotus lantern by my side , if you want to return to Guan Jiangkou, I can do it by myself.”
Unknowingly, the 'ugly girl' who was covered in blisters and scalded all over her body and was as weak as colored glass that would break at the touch of a touch, now wears gold hairpins on her forehead and a dignified light yellow palace dress, giving her a sense of tranquility and elegance. intellectual beauty.
"Okay." Zhou Ji's voice came from behind, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually going away.
for a long time
The yard was quiet, except for the rustling of the leaves as the breeze blew through. An indescribable loneliness welled up in her heart, wrapping Yang Chan's heart.
‘Already gone? Is this gone? '
Yang Chan supported the stone table and turned around slowly, a figure standing with a smile came into view, and the dim and lost eyes instantly glowed, "Aren't you gone?"
Zhou Ji looked at the beautiful and beautiful third girl in front of him, and unconsciously raised his hand to touch her head, with a soft light in his eyes, and joked: "How long do you think we have known each other? Can't you see that you are deliberately speaking angry? "
Can you see that I'm angry, but you can't see anything else?
Yang Chan turned her head to avoid Zhou Ji's palm, seeing Zhou Ji put down her arm and didn't chase after her again, a trace of disappointment appeared in her heart.
Zhou Ji withdrew his palm and said with a smile: "Besides, since I promised to go back with you, I will definitely do it. You haven't told me when you will return to Guan Jiangkou~ How could I leave?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ji's smile froze on his face, he took two steps forward, and hurriedly coaxed the person in front of him and said:
"Hey, hey, why are you crying? I was just kidding you. Didn't you just say that you are not a little girl? Why are you blaming me? Obviously you said that?"
A branch of peach blossoms swaying in the wind gradually withered and withered. In a blink of an eye, even the leaves began to turn yellow, and they fell into the small pond in the courtyard, causing ripples.
Spring is coming and autumn is coming, in Yang Chan's view, she has already cherished the time that Brother Zhou stayed in Huashan, but the time still slipped through the fingers like quicksand, and it passed so fast.
Brother Zhou had lived with her in Huashan for more than half a year before she knew it. As the first snow fell at night and covered the courtyard with a thin layer of snow, Yang Chan realized that winter was coming.
The snow on the road is getting thicker and thicker, and the number of pilgrims coming and going is much less than before. Zhou Ji accompanied Yang Chan to travel all over Huashan this year. Every hillside and every stream left their footprints.
Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, as gods, they don't have to exchange new peaches for old ones and firecrackers to drive away the "Nian Beast" like ordinary people. Years are just a concept of time for them, and even some gods have been immortals for a long time. Year's concept of time has also faded.
Zhou Ji made a cameo visit to the temple to send off the last batch of pilgrims who came to offer incense in the face of the wind and snow. After closing the gate of the Notre Dame Temple, he turned and looked at the statue of the Virgin Mary surrounded by incense, showing a thoughtful expression.
"Brother Zhou, why are you staring at me these days?"
Yang Chan's phantom emerged from the statue, and said shyly in a somewhat coquettish tone.
"I think you've been absent-minded recently." Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Isn't it almost the end of the year? I wonder if I'll take you back to Guanjiangkou for a few days to celebrate the New Year with Erlang's younger siblings."
"Okay ~ okay!"
The looming phantom floated down in front of Zhou Ji, revealing Yang Chan's figure.
After her mother passed away, her second elder brother was already Yang Chan's only relative in the world, even if she didn't say it, she still missed her from time to time.
Huashan and Guanjiangkou are separated by thousands of miles, which is only a day’s journey for Yang Chan and Zhou Ji. When they arrived at Guanjiangkou’s Yang’s Mansion, Yang Chan found that the gate of the mansion was half-closed, and walked in in surprise. The courtyard was empty. , not only didn't see Yang Jian's roaring sky dog, he didn't even have a servant.
"Huh? Isn't the second brother and sister-in-law at home?" Yang Chan looked puzzled and turned to look at Zhou Ji. Only then did Zhou Ji remember the current situation of Cun Xin and Yang Jian. Complicated look.
"Erlang and Xiaotiangou might be drinking at Brother Meishan?"
Yang Chan nodded, and asked casually: "Didn't they all drink at the house before? Why did they switch to Brother Meishan?"
"Brother Meishan can kill and eat at the manor after hunting, which is more convenient." Zhou Ji glanced at Yang Chan and explained.
Yang Chan just asked casually, so she didn't become suspicious.
The two of them stepped on the snow and walked out of the town unhurriedly. In the past five hundred years, the neighbors of the past have long since returned to ashes. Except that the Yang Mansion was deliberately repaired to remain the same as before, even the streets have changed. a lot.
Looking at the unfamiliar faces around, only a few people could barely recognize the vague outlines, Yang Chan took a few steps closer to Zhou Ji, and pointed to him where there used to be a cloth store in the town, where there used to be a noodle shop, and the second brother almost Became the son-in-law of that family.
With more and more snow on the road and fewer and fewer footprints, the two came to the Meishan Manor in the outskirts. Before they got close, they saw the gate of the manor was open, and Yang Jian was sitting alone under the gazebo on the side of the vestibule in a daze. Xiao Tiangou squatted on the fence next to it, holding the icicles on the pillars.
Suddenly, Xiao Tiangou seemed to smell something, sniffed his nose and raised his head to look at Zhou Ji and Yang Chan who was approaching. His eyes lit up immediately, and he waved to Yang Jian: "Master, master, do you see who is coming?"
"Second Brother!"
When Yang Jian heard the familiar call, he immediately showed a surprised expression. He stood up and saw Yang Chan and Zhou Ji in the snow, and hurried up to meet them.
"Third Sister? Brother Zhou, why are you here?"
Yang Jian showed joy, gave Zhou Ji a grateful look, and said with a smile, "That's really great, it feels like we haven't been together as a family for a long time."
Knowing that Zhou Ji was going to Nezha's place in a few days, Yang Jian led the two of them into the pavilion and sat down. When he asked about Nezha's situation, he couldn't help sighing, "Oh~ I'm the one who got involved with Nezha brother."
"No, don't say that, she is purely self-inflicted." Zhou Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Knowing that the Queen Mother is visiting in private, but she doesn't want others to know, she still finds people to talk nonsense, this time it is also a lesson. , let her grow up."
The three chatted for a while, Yang Chan suddenly thought of something, looked around, but showed a look of astonishment: "Why didn't you see Boss Kang and the others?"
Yang Jian asked suspiciously, "Is there anything the third sister wants to do with Brother Meishan?"
"It's nothing, I just want to call them together so that we can celebrate the New Year together." Yang Chan laughed.
"Of course." Yang Jian said with a smile, "They went winter hunting in Houshan, and they should be back soon after counting the time." While talking, the Meishan brothers came from outside with the game they hunted.
Boss Kang and the others were also very happy to see Zhou Ji and Yang Chan, especially when they received the invitation from the Yang Jian brothers and sisters, they were all smiles.
"It just so happens that Chinese New Year is coming soon, let's go home and decorate first." Yang Chan hesitated and said, "By the way, second brother, where is sister-in-law? Just now, brother Zhou and I found that there seems to be no one in the house."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.
Yang Chan sensed something was wrong, hesitantly said: "Did you quarrel?"
Yang Jian forced a smile, shook his head and said, "It's just small things, it doesn't matter."
In Yang Chan's impression, the last time he came back with Zhou Ji, the second brother and his sister-in-law got along well, and they got along well with Meishan brother Xiao Tiangou, so he didn't doubt Yang Jian, and suddenly said: "No wonder when I went No husband and wife do not have overnight feuds, you and sister-in-law have been friends for so many years, it's okay to quarrel once in a while, I'll go back and talk to sister-in-law."
Occasionally
Yang Jian's eyes flashed a trace of bitterness.
Seeing Third Sister come back, Cun Xin was also a little surprised.
Because of Yang Chan's existence, it was rare for the Yang Mansion to have a few days of peace.
Cunxin has restrained himself a little during the Chinese New Year, and he didn't deliberately find something to quarrel with Yang Jian as usual.
On New Year's Eve, Xiao Tiangou rarely got drunk once, and with a grateful expression on his face, he asked Miss San to stay, hoping that she could stay for a few more years, and it was best not to leave.
"Xiao Tiangou, you are drunk." A complex look flashed in Yang Jian's eyes.
Because of Cun Xin, he wanted to change Xiaotian Dog back to its original shape and become a real dog.
The two had a big fight, and Xiaotiangou thought it was his fault, and felt guilty all the time.
In order to avoid unnecessary worries for the third sister, Yang Jian shook his head lightly, signaling the Meishan brothers to stop Xiao Tiangou.
Cun Xin naturally understood what Xiao Tiangou meant. She stopped pouring wine for Yang Jian, and slowly sat back in her original position and lowered her head, not knowing what to think.
Yang Chan was at a loss in the dark, but fortunately Zhou Ji was by his side to smooth things over and pass this new year smoothly.
Later Zhou Ji sent Yang Chan back to Mount Hua, and stayed there until early spring before leaving for Heaven.
A year on earth is a day in heaven.
Zhou Ji, like last time, took out the heavenly soldier armor from the square formation and replaced it, and arrived at Fumo Marshal's Mansion with ease.
On the wall, a petite and lovely figure sat on the eaves with drooping legs and swayed gently.
Nezha rested her chin on her hands, and seeing a heavenly soldier approaching, she thought she was about to be reported again, so she subconsciously got up and slipped back to the mansion. An arm patted his shoulder.
"What are you looking at?"
"Hush~ The Queen Mother asked me to shut myself up and think about my mistakes. What if someone reports to her again and punishes me for another year?" Nezha stretched out his finger and gestured for silence. , the Heavenly Soldier was standing behind her just now, and under the Heavenly Soldier's armor was actually Brother Zhou.
"Brother Zhou, you are back." Nezha stepped forward and threw himself into Zhou Ji's arms. He flew into the air, but Zhou Ji stretched out his hands to hold his armpit, and put him back on the ground.
Nezha is a big kid, and the most intolerable thing is being treated like a child.
If someone else dared to treat her like this, they might be desperate to find the other party.
Nezha gave Zhou Ji a blank look, but his resentful eyes were attracted by the things that kept escaping from Zhou Ji's sleeves. He leaned forward, picked up the gift box in front of him, and said, "Is this an apology for me?"
"Erlang, Sanmei and Brother Meishan heard that you were thinking about your mistakes behind closed doors in the Heavenly Court. These are the gifts they asked me to bring you." Zhou Ji looked at the pile of presents piled up in front of him and smiled.
Nezha's heart warmed up, his eyes couldn't help getting moist, he stared closely at Zhou Ji and said seriously: "Thank you, Brother Zhou."
"Thank me for what? They gave you these." Zhou Ji put his hand on Nezha's head and stroked.
Nezha shook his head without explaining too much.
The relationship between gods is often very weak, and the long lifespan makes it easy for them to downplay some "insignificant" things. If there is no brother Zhou, even if the third sister is almost unbearable, second brother Yang will not often visit Huashan She; even if a thousand years pass, the few of them will never think of visiting their old friend, Hu Mei.
The most, the most, when they heard the news of Fox Girl's death, they would sigh with emotion, and then forget it again.
Don’t talk about the distance, let’s talk about the present.
One day in the sky and one year on the ground, Nezha was fined to contemplate for a year behind closed doors. With her temperament, these hundreds of years are so difficult. If there is no Brother Zhou, no one will think of coming to visit her quietly.
Because whether it is hundreds of years or thousands of years, compared to the long lifespan of the gods, it is just an 'insignificant' period of time.
Comparable to a god's cultivation, but retains the sensibility and behavior of ordinary people, this "sincerity" is like a bond, connecting Nezha, Yang Jian brothers and sisters, Fox sister, and everyone.
