Quick Transmigration: The Carefree Life of a Background Character
Chapter 78 The Wilderness 16
That day, because Ziyue spent some time admiring a large field of flowers along the way, and because of a sudden downpour, she had to spend the night in a dilapidated temple in the mountains.
June weather is like a child's face, changing in an instant—that's absolutely true.
One moment the sky is clear and blue, the next it's pouring rain.
Ziyue looked at the torrential rain outside the temple with great interest. "Fortunately, there is still a dilapidated temple here. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
The dilapidated temple looked old and neglected, covered in cobwebs, with peeling paint, cracked walls, and broken windows.
The central Buddha statue is covered in rust, its face long since blurred, yet it stands firmly here, witnessing countless seasons.
The sound of whistling wind came from the dilapidated temple gate, carrying a hint of coolness.
Chi Ling took a cloak and gently draped it over Zi Yue's shoulders, straightening every inch of her clothes. "Yue'er, I'm sorry to have to make you suffer."
Ziyue looked at Chiling, whose lips were tightly pursed and whose face was full of heartache, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"What's the big deal? There's still a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Besides, I think it's quite fun. This kind of experience isn't something you can do whenever you want. It's quite unique."
Listening to his beloved's comforting words, Chi Ling knew deep down that his Yue'er was always carefree and didn't care about these things, but he still felt that it was unfair for her to stay in this dilapidated temple.
He himself didn't care what happened, but Yue'er couldn't.
Ziyue quickly changed the subject, "I'm hungry, I want to eat your roast chicken."
When Chi Ling heard the girl say she was hungry, he quickly lit the firewood he had collected, skewered the pheasants they had prepared during the day, and roasted them over the fire.
Ziyue stood at the entrance of the dilapidated temple, watching the torrential rain outside. The rising mist obscured the verdant mountains in the distance.
Listening to the pattering rain, the pattering of raindrops running down the broken tiles, and the crackling of firewood, Ziyue didn't find it noisy at all. Instead, she felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
The aroma of roasted chicken slowly wafted into Ziyue's nostrils. She snapped out of her reverie and looked back at the source of the scent. The flickering yellow firelight illuminated the tall figure beside her, making the man's features appear even more profound and adding a touch of mystery.
The man appeared to be carefully turning the roast chicken in his hands, but Ziyue knew that he was watching her out of the corner of his eye, observing her every move.
Ziyue smiled slightly, took a step forward, and sat comfortably next to Chiling, resting her head on his shoulder as she looked at the plump roast chicken roasting over the fire in front of her.
Chi Ling quickly relaxed one shoulder, afraid that his hard muscles might hurt his beloved girl.
Although the two did not speak, a tender affection surrounded them. The mottled Buddha statue seemed to soften its features at that moment, offering blessings to the loving couple.
The roasted chicken was golden and shiny, with the oil seeping out and dripping onto the crackling fire, making a sizzling sound and filling the air with a delicious aroma.
After Chi Ling sprinkled the seasonings little by little, the aroma spread even more.
Chi Ling tore off a chicken leg, carefully wrapped it in a lotus leaf, and handed it to Zi Yue, reminding her, "Yue'er, try it, be careful it's hot."
Ziyue took it, blew on it, took a bite, and said, "Mmm, delicious. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the flavor is just right."
Watching Ziyue eat the food he had grilled with a satisfied expression, a gentle smile and a look of contentment flashed in Chi Ling's eyes.
Ziyue ate two chicken legs, some snacks from the carriage, and some tea. She then went to bed early that night.
After all, there aren't many entertainment options in this desolate wilderness.
They drove the carriage directly into the dilapidated temple, where Ziyue rested for the night.
The carriage was specially commissioned by Ziyue to be made by skilled craftsmen, and there was more than one of them.
Different sizes, levels of luxury, and different materials... She directly commissioned a specialized craftsman to build ten carriages for her.
After all, it's a consumable item. Modern cars need regular maintenance, let alone ancient horse-drawn carriages.
Although they use the best wood, you can't use the same car for your whole life. If it breaks down, you'll have to repair it.
Therefore, it would be better to go straight to the point and build several more vehicles according to her design drawings.
The carriage that Ziyue and Chiling used for this trip was one of the ones she had specially commissioned to be made.
It's not very big, but it has a lot of hidden spaces inside.
The hidden storage space is enough for her to store a lot of things.
The carriage was lined with thick mattresses, and she used the finest Shu brocade to cover herself. Covered with a shimmering brocade quilt, and accompanied by the hypnotic sound of rain, Ziyue quickly drifted off to sleep.
At this moment, Chi Ling listened to the girl's regular breathing coming from the carriage before closing her eyes. She added some more firewood to the fire before finally closing her eyes to rest.
Actually, it wouldn't be a problem for two people to lie side by side in the carriage, but Chi Ling was, after all, an ancient person who was not yet married. He had always been self-disciplined and respectful when the two were together, and his usual hugging and cuddling was already his limit.
Therefore, Ziyue would often tease him until he was blushing.
