Chapter 39 I Was Born a Mountain
The continuous heavy snow lasted for more than a month. Shi Wanxia and the other two looked at the forest covered by snow with great melancholy. The snow was two or three meters deep in the deepest part. Fortunately, there was still plenty of food in the cold winter.
Otherwise, she would brave the cold to go out and find food. Shi Wanxia continued watching the TV series she had saved on her laptop. This was her favorite TV series because she fell in love with the actor because of a character in a novel.
She wiped away her tears while watching TV. Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an had long since gone from surprise to numbness. When they first started watching, Cui Yu'an was shocked for a long time before she accepted the girl's amazing abilities.
The character in the TV series she showed seemed unremarkable at first, but the more I watched, the more I was moved by his actions and his compassionate and selfless nature.
This person truly lived up to his name, as pure and elegant as a lotus flower, but it's a pity that he met such an end.
I was sad for a long time after watching it, until the girl told me it was just a fake.
Shen Yanchu ignored the two and continued his daily meditation and internal energy cultivation to heal his injuries. Fortunately, it was somewhat effective, and his internal energy recovered to nearly 20%. However, his physical strength had not recovered much.
"Waaah... Flower, you must live to be a hundred years old!"
Shi Wanxia's eyes were red from crying. As she watched the finale, she kept wiping away her tears with her hands. Cui Yu'an and Shen Yanchu had been trying to comfort her at first, but they had gotten used to it by now.
Moreover, this girl's infatuation with this person was almost like a demon's obsession. That person was indeed a refined and elegant man, a handsome and graceful figure. When this girl said she loved him, Shen Yanchu's face turned ashen and his violent aura almost drove him crazy, but the girl was unaware of it.
He chuckled to himself for a long time. The girl he liked actually liked someone who had never appeared before. How could Shen Yanchu not be furious?
However, this was a matter between the two of them, and Cui Yu'an was too lazy to get involved. Cui Yu'an brewed the medicine and served it to Shen Yanchu. The two of them had been drinking some medicine to nourish their bodies for the past two months.
After Shen Yanchu finished his meditation, he saw that the girl was still crying and watching. He stopped his meditation, got up, went to her side, closed the computer, and said with a helpless tone, "Miss Shi, you should stop watching and continue making straw mats and curtains, otherwise it will still be unusually cold today."
Shi Wanxia stared blankly at the guy, the atmosphere heavy. She nodded obediently. They got up to get some dry grass and vines, and the three continued weaving.
“Brother Shen, let’s continue our journey after the snow melts in spring! This mountain range is too big. We still have plenty of food to last until spring. By the way, there’s a question I haven’t asked you yet.”
Shen Yanchu and Cui Yu'an paused, looking at her with confusion. Shi Wanxia felt a little embarrassed, but she ignored it.
"I saved you two. Judging from your demeanor and bearing, you must be of considerable status! I'm wondering, now that I've saved you, how will you two repay me?"
"I'm not some pushover who doesn't expect anything in return. I'm not stupid. And don't even mention repaying me with your bodies. I don't accept that kind of way of repaying a debt of gratitude. I have no plans to get married in this life. After all, as the saying goes, marriage is the grave of love. I don't want to be buried by marriage for the rest of my life. Besides, where I'm from, it's a monogamous system. We don't have as many formalities as you do here. Think about it!"
Shi Wanxia's words stunned Cui Yu'an and Shen Yanchu. Cui Yu'an stared provocatively at Shen Yanchu, whose face was dark, and couldn't suppress the smile in the corner of his eye.
Unexpectedly, the girl Shen Yanchu finally fell in love with turned out to have no feelings for him at all. This guy has suffered such a setback. This injury was worth it, very worth it.
Shen Yanchu suppressed his aura, ignoring the gloating Cui Yu'an, and stared at Shi Wanxia: "Why do you have to do this, young lady? Women should follow the will of Heaven and abide by the Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues. At home, they should obey their fathers; after marriage, they should obey their husbands; and after their husbands die, they should obey their sons. You should not have such rebellious and dangerous thoughts that violate human ethics. After all, since ancient times, marriage has been arranged by parents and matchmakers."
Shen Yanchu couldn't agree with the girl's dangerous ideas. Wasn't she educated? What kind of books did she study to be so ignorant of etiquette, so rebellious, and so disregarding human relations?
Having spent the past two months getting to know this girl's personality quite well, Cui Yu'an realized that Shen Yanchu's words had clearly angered her, so Cui Yu'an quietly distanced herself from him.
Shi Wanxia didn't take her words to heart; wasn't that normal in ancient society? But Shi Wanxia would never allow herself to be assimilated.
"Mr. Shen, I cannot agree with your words, but based on the books I have read and the education I have received, I was born to be a mountain, not a stream. I want to stand atop the peaks and look down on the mediocre valleys. I was born to be a hero, not a weed. I stand on the shoulders of giants and despise the lowly cowards."
"That's exactly what I meant. Although I am a woman, I cannot deny the value that being born a woman brings. Well, I think I've guessed your answers. Let's talk about this after we leave the mountains!"
Shi Wanxia was somewhat angry and didn't want to say anything more to them. At worst, they were just companions who helped each other out of this forest. She should just part ways with them once they left the deep forest. These two were definitely not as gentle and harmless as they appeared now.
Shen Yanchu had no idea what she was thinking. This girl was probably not asking this question out of gratitude. Looking at her pensive face, he could roughly guess that this girl wanted to cut off contact with them after leaving the mountains.
But Miss Shi, you are the one I've chosen, how can I let you leave so easily? Besides, she's never been in the world, hasn't experienced the wickedness of human nature, and is pure of heart. Following me is always better than following someone else. Shi Wanxia didn't know his thoughts, otherwise she would have cursed him to death.
The three of them fell silent because of the question they had just heard. The air seemed to freeze, creating a sense of oppression.
Cui Yu'an tried to break the awkward atmosphere by teasing Shi Wanxia, hoping to get her attention.
However, Shi Wanxia seemed completely absorbed in her own thoughts and did not react to Cui Yu'an's actions.
Her gaze was unfocused, her expression indifferent, as if everything around her was irrelevant. Cui Yu'an's jokes echoed in her ears, but she ignored them, offering no response.
The silence bored Cui Yu'an. He shrugged helplessly and said nothing more. The three of them sat there quietly, each lost in their own thoughts.
Shi Wanxia sighed for a long time, wrapped her coat tighter, got up and walked to the cave entrance to compose herself, gazing at the snowflakes dancing in the sky.
She reached out and caught a snowflake, watching it disappear in her hand. She ignored the two people in the cave; she didn't want anything else, she just wanted to go home.
She stood quietly at the cave entrance, gazing at the swirling snowflakes outside. The snowflakes danced gracefully in the air, like a group of elegant fairies.
However, a faint sadness was revealed in her eyes, as if the fate of these snowflakes was a reflection of her own.
She knew that, like these snowflakes, she was beautiful and captivating, yet destined to vanish silently in this era. She had once possessed a glorious past and had strived tirelessly for her dreams. She sighed softly and stood at the cave entrance for a long time, her mind filled with a turbulent mix of thoughts that tormented her.
