Chapter 44
The old Taoist priest felt upset and wanted to say something to comfort him, but he couldn't utter a single word.
"This result is what she deserves after all her hard work. I never thought that she would wake up one day."
"Now that she has woken up, your purpose of staying in Linghuang Temple for so long has been achieved. The time has come, and you can return to Beijing."
The man looked outside with a blank look; the wooden wall blocked all his sight.
Although he couldn't see anything, he didn't dare to look.
But he wanted to.
Today, Weiwei must be in high spirits, strong, brave and radiant.
She will never be as miserable and broken as in the ending again. The future ending is definitely what Weiwei wants.
Let her fly, don't look for her, and don't tell her those sad memories, let her go home!
"Wait a minute."
The man raised a heart-breaking arc, a little sad, and a little bit of sharing glory: "I want to be closer to her. It doesn't matter if I can't see her. I will leave when she leaves Linghuang Temple."
"I've waited so long, one day won't be a big deal."
The lamp with the wish note was lit, and the flame burned the creed as clean as a whim. Every word, stroke, and line on it glowed, as if endowed with the power of God.
drapery,
I have done what I promised you.
Next, just keep moving forward, don't look back, don't be soft-hearted, don't stop...
-
into the night.
The moonlight fell on Shen Wei's cheek. She held her chin, looking at the Linghuang Temple at night and the moon hanging in the ninth sky, wondering what she was thinking.
She was thinking...
If I hadn't awakened, the original book would probably have developed to this scene, where Shen Wei clamored to host the birthday banquet and finally invited a group of prostitutes to dance pole dancing. The prostitutes wore suspenders and showed off their long legs.
Dancing while holding a pole.
The noble ladies and ladies below were horrified and pointed at Madam Hou and cursed her the most unpleasant words of their lives.
Old Madam Hou was so angry at the vulgar and obscene dance scene that she fainted. After waking up, she shouted that she wanted to be drowned in a pond. It was also at this time that Shen Wei's image in Xie Yuchuan's heart was completely ruined.
From then on, Shen Wei in the original book began his road to death, and finally ended up suffering humiliation and dying of illness.
Okay,
Fortunately, she woke up in time.
"Girl, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Wei came to his senses and smiled: "I was thinking, reality is not about coaxing your wife to death, but about being startled at every step."
“I was thinking, if those silly girls in my hometown who fantasize about taking a time-travel journey and having a sensational love affair with the princes knew that I would try my best to even step out of the house.”
"If you knew that I would have to pay such a high price to draw the bow and swing the sword."
"I'm afraid their beautiful dreams are about to be shattered."
It’s better to be broken.
It’s better to break.
This place is an abyss for women, don't even think about it.
"Girl, why are you crying?"
"No, I just want to go home so much." Shen Wei lowered his head and blinked. Tears dripped down his eyelashes and fell on the ground, without staining his cheeks at all.
She wanted to leave here so badly.
She wanted so badly to find her way home.
But she also knew that some goals needed to be achieved one step at a time. She couldn't be impatient and had to take it slowly. One day, she would break through the layers of fog and find that path.
Shen Wei stood up and let Xiaoman go to sleep first.
Then he held a wooden barrel in each hand and began to practice horse stance.
This training lasted for an hour.
Only when he was sweating profusely and his arms were aching beyond limit did Shen Wei fetch some clean water to wipe his body, change into clean clothes, close his eyes, wrap himself in the quilt and go to sleep.
At the early morning of the next day, Shen Wei opened his eyes, put on his clothes, ran to Aunt Zhao's bed and called out, "Aunt Zhao, Xiaoman, it's the end of the early morning, a little after two in the morning."
"Get up and go to the mountains to watch the sunrise."
sunrise?
Aunt Zhao and Xiaoman resisted their sleepiness, yawned several times, and finally got up and put on their clothes.
As early as during the day, Shen Wei had found out about the situation in the back mountain.
There is a hiking trail in the back mountain. It is called a hiking trail, but in fact it is a small path leading to the top of the mountain. Because it belongs to Linghuang Temple, the ferocious wild beasts in the mountain have been cleared by the government, so it is relatively safe.
Shen Wei, carrying a bow and arrow and a broad sword he brought from the martial arts school, dressed lightly, and brought Aunt Zhao and Xiaoman to the mountain trail entrance.
"Miss Shen, it's so dark... It's not even Yin time yet, do you want to go up the mountain?"
"I'm a little scared. Can't we go during the day?"
"And I, I'm wearing high embroidered shoes, and I can't walk on such a winding road..." Aunt Zhao felt her scalp tingling as she looked at the dark path in front of her.
Shen Wei took out the cloth shoes that he had prepared long ago and handed them to Aunt Zhao: "Put them on."
"it?"
"Yeah, change it."
"But...but, as a concubine from a noble family, I can't wear flat shoes that only servants can wear. When I first entered the mansion, the old lady of the marquis lectured me on the rules..." Aunt Zhao was a little at a loss.
Shen Wei looked at Aunt Zhao steadily: "Do you still want to become a unique person?"
"If you want, change it. If you don't want, let's go back!"
Seeing Shen Wei's stern tone, Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth, took off the pair of high embroidered shoes that corrected her posture and restricted her steps, and changed into flat shoes.
The feeling of having my feet on flat ground was a little strange at first.
But after walking a few steps, Aunt Zhao discovered that the feeling of being able to walk with big steps without worrying about falling or spraining your ankle if you walked too fast was truly indescribable.
Is this a sense of security?
That sense of security of having your feet on solid ground.
Aunt Zhao no longer had to remind herself to walk slowly, straight and with good manners.
"How does it feel?" Shen Wei asked.
"I, I don't know how to put it... I suddenly dared to take big steps. I was always worried about walking unsteadily and slipping, but now I don't seem to be afraid anymore. I even think it's okay to jump."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhao jumped slightly.
After living in the Marquis' Mansion for so long, she couldn't find the memory of wearing flat shoes as a child... So, this is the feeling.
Aunt Zhao looked somewhat moved and laughed.
"It takes at least an hour and a half to get to the top of the mountain from the bottom. It's a little after two o'clock now, so we can reach the top of the mountain before about half past five. The sun rises around six o'clock, so the timing is just right."
"Aunt Zhao, Xiaoman, let's go."
