Chapter 13 Thunder in the Dry Mountains
The sun is exposed throughout the summer. Although the mountains are not too hot, the plants and trees that have lost their moisture due to drought have become large and yellow, as yellow as winter, but as dense as autumn.
The dry air seems to make it burn immediately if you shout.
Three days ago, the water diversion pipeline was cut off, which means that the last water source on the other side had dried up, and only the water in the shallow pool of water storage was left in the valley. If it didn't rain again, it would be gone after it was used up.
Without water, people cannot survive. In fact, if it weren't for the water diversion and storage projects built by Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qi, when the drought just broke out last winter, Yang Yi and A Ke would have moved directly to live outside the mountain. Perhaps
It's in Chang'an City.
Because Yang Yi no longer has the energy to cross mountains and rivers to carry water, he is very old.
Yang Yichuan knew that it was the 648th year he had come to this world, but he didn't know how old he should be, but he knew that his wife A Ke Demo was 110 years old.
Saint A Ke Demo said she was very happy because the first seven generations of saints lived only fifty or sixty years old, but she had not even lost a tooth when she was 110 years old. Except for her stubbornness, she could not pull away.
She felt that she was no different from when she was young.
In fact, A Ke has stopped looking in the mirror more than 30 years ago, and he is unwilling to look down when passing by the pool.
Yang Yi said to her: In my eyes, you will always be sixteen years old when you first met.
A Ke knew that he was saying this because for more than 90 years, he still had to hug her every night before falling asleep. More than 90 years have passed, and his touch and kiss are still as gentle as ninety years ago.
A strong love cannot be faked at all.
One hundred and ten years old is the age of a god, but he made an appointment with her to live until she was two hundred years old and three hundred years old until the day she found her way back, until she found who she was.
Yang Yi knew very well that people could not live forever, but if they found who they were and found the key to the way home, they could reunite their love with her for eternity.
A Ke still had that dream often. In the dream, she saw Yang Yi clearly, which was the way she took off her mask in the Saint Maid's Hall more than 90 years ago.
The clothes he wore in his dream were strange, but they were very beautiful. He liked to play football and play the big box piano, and it was charming whenever he was quiet and moving.
Yang Yi dreamed nothing, and he seemed to have never dreamed in the past six hundred years. A Ke said, maybe because now it is in your dream, you and I, the world, are just in your dreams.
I love you, starting with the first meeting, and not just ending with the end of old age.
But the pace of time could not stop him, and he and she grew old uncontrollably. Now he could no longer walk through the steep mountain road to fetch water on the other side of the mountain, nor could he kill the crazy Lingzi.
One afternoon four years ago, Yang Yi went hunting as usual. On the way, he encountered an antelope in love, which was very fierce. Although he tried his best to cut it, he still let the antelope run away. Yang Yi
I threw the knife down and gasped for a long time.
The first time he came to this world to kill a living creature was such an antelope. The last time he tried to kill was also an antelope, and everything seemed to be reincarnation.
From then on, he put down his knife.
A Ke could no longer pull the Holy Fire Bow, but she could still play the piano and she could play it in a superb way. Huang Yaoshi, who was proficient in music in the past, said that the saint's piano skills had reached the level of transformation, which was the sound of nature.
Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qi left here twenty-five years ago, and Dongxie and Beibei lived in the valley for eleven years. When they left, they still did not understand their own martial arts.
They are not Yang Yi and A Ke, and they still have concerns in the world and ideals in their hearts.
Huang Yaoshi left because he heard that Huang Rong and Guo Jing were looking for him all over the world, and that his granddaughter Guo Fu was almost nine years old. He was married to each other again, so he didn't like his stupid son-in-law Guo Jing, but his granddaughter could still get close to him.
Hong Qigong left because a female devil with great martial arts appeared in the world. She killed people with terrible means and was cruel. She often destroyed the whole family just for just one sentence, and the servants and maids were not let go.
Hong Qigong, who has been jealous of evil all his life, can ignore the world, but cannot tolerate such evil people being free in the world. He wants to get rid of the female devil.
The female devil is named Li Mochou, who is the apprentice of Grandma Sun in the tomb of the Living Dead many years ago.
But Hong Qigong did not kill Li Mochou. In the sixth year after they left, Huang Yaoshi came back and said that Hong Qi was dead. He fought with Ouyang Feng on the top of Mount Hua for seven days and seven nights without a chance to win.
In the end, people exhaust their energy and die together, and smile before they die.
The Western Poison and the Northern Beggar died, and there were only two of them left in the five masters of martial arts.
After that, Huang Yaoshi never came again. Yang Yi and A Ke still don’t know whether he is dead or alive, and don’t want to inquire because it doesn’t matter. Even Yang Yi in the world outside the mountain was indifferent.
The once terrifyingly powerful and powerful Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom have been destroyed. Their glorious time is far less than that of the Khitans and Xixia people. Now they are replaced by the more brutal Mongols.
The hero Guo Jing and the heroine Huang Rong led the Song Dynasty martial arts world to defend Xiangyang. They did not have Yue Fei's military talent, but they did something as heroic as Grandpa Yue.
The former Luda's black iron heavy sword has reappeared. He is holding it with a young man named Yang Guo, and his wife is Xiaolongnu.
Since the Jingkang period, several generations have lived in enemy-occupied areas. Now the people of the Central Plains in the north have become dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty. The royal army has been unable to restore the mountains and rivers, and they are heartbroken and do not want to call themselves "Song people".
The people of the Central Plains in the north did not know how to deal with themselves. They were not Mongolians, nor were they Seminyaks, Uighurs and other Seminyaks, nor were they Song people. So, the people of the Central Plains in the north invented the term "Han" and used mockery and contempt of the Song people.
The tone is called "Southern".
These sheep didn't know anything, and they wouldn't care, because after living for six hundred years, having experienced the rise and fall of the two most beautiful dynasties in the history of the Central Plains, the Tang and Song dynasties, nothing could stir up in his heart.
None of these matters anymore.
However, the water conservancy project built by Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qi is very important, otherwise Yang Yi and A Ke would leave Zhongnan Mountain early due to drought.
Moreover, Huang Yaoshi was proficient in the theory of the five elements. He analyzed that sheep died because of water. Water overcomes fire, and then it will be reborn when it encounters fire.
Yang Yi thought that what he said was nonsense, because the Saint A Ke was the Holy Fire and he had met him for more than 90 years.
.
There is actually not much water in the reservoir pool. The scorching sun will be dried in a few days. Moreover, due to the deposition of mud, sand and dirt in the pool, fewer people can drink.
Sheep dragged some dry branches to cover the pool, picked up a small pile of cracked branches and walked back to the small wooden building. These were firewood for cooking.
There were not a few left of food stored. After dinner, Yang Yi and A Ke discussed: Why don’t you go to the mountain first tomorrow?
A Ke sighed: "Oh, it will be difficult for us to go out once we go out."
"This is also impossible. Without food and water are almost gone. You can't live in the mountains."
"What can I do if I go outside the mountain? If I meet a bad person, I may not be able to beat you or not. Ah Yang, I'm afraid of outside."
"Not afraid, I can deal with one or two people in general. Don't worry. A Ke, come over and let me hug you tightly, so that I won't be afraid."
"Ah Yang, you must find me again in the next life."
"It must be, even if I search for another five hundred years, I will find you."
"There is still a next life."
"Well, I promise that I will be with you in every life. We will never be lonely and will never be separated."
He and she hugged each other and fell asleep. There was no wind in the dark forest, only the dry trees and withered grass wailed silently.
There is no light in the endless darkness.
‘Room~~~’ A muffled thunder streaked through the air.
Perhaps because he was too sleepy, or more likely because he was too old, neither he nor her were awakened, but just muttered a few words like a dream.
"Thundering may rain."
