Huang Quan's companion

After saying goodbye to everyone, Yang Jinshu took He Tang out of Jishan County and went outside the county seat.They walked fast, the cold wind was like a knife in winter, and there was no one outside the city after the curfew, so they passed by without hesitation.

He Tang was held by him, even though their hands were not warm, He Tang felt warm in his heart.He saw that the direction he was going was not the back mountain of the Yang family, so he asked aloud, "Jin Shu, where are we going?"

"I heard that there is a barren mountain outside Jishan County. The mountain road is rugged and few people go there. However, there is a beautiful garden hidden in the deep mountain. Many birds and animals in the mountain like to rest there. I heard that there is a lot of spiritual power. There are many small spirits cultivating in it." Yang Jinshu turned his head and smiled at him, "You have been in Jishan County for so many years, but you don't seem to have seen any spirits except humans and ghosts, I will take you to have a look."

What he said was true. He Tang had been hanging out with them all the time, and all he saw were people, ghosts, and neither.

"Why didn't you take me there before?" He Tang asked.

"Ghosts are born with resentment, but spirits are born with spiritual power. If I take you there rashly, I will frighten them." Yang Jinshu paused, looked up at the sky, the dark clouds settled down, it was indeed heavy snow He said, "Most of the spirits will hide when it snows, and if we go now, we won't disturb them."

He Tang was dissatisfied: "They are hiding, what are we looking at?"

Yang Jinshu nodded his forehead: "Look at the snow."

He Tang smiled softly, nodded and said, "That's right, I don't care what to look at, even if there is nothing to look at, I can still look at you, you are so good-looking."

Yang Jinshu raised the corners of his lips, amused by his witty words, but still felt a little embarrassed, and said, "I don't know how to be ashamed."

"It's you I'm boasting about, and it's you who should be ashamed. It's too late for me to be proud, so what's there to be ashamed of?" He Tang jumped up, lay on his back, hugged his neck and smiled, "You're the one with a thin skin, why not?" After following me for so long, are you still so easily shy?"

He has no weight, Yang Jinshu walked forward calmly, but said in his mouth: "Obviously you are too frank."

"Isn't it good to be frank?"

"Very good." Yang Jinshu turned his face slightly, "I like it very much."

He Tang buried her head in his back and giggled, knowing that only Yang Jinshu could bear her reckless and troublesome temperament.He knew that in the eyes of many people, he was a brat with a lot of problems and didn't listen to persuasion, but he was really happy that someone would like him.

"He Tang." Yang Jinshu suddenly called him.

"Ok?"

"I want to ask you something."

He Tang was a little puzzled: "Tell me."

"When you saved someone for the first time, what were you thinking?"

"You mean the first time I died?"

"Ah."

"I just... want to save people." He Tang said as usual, "Someone fell into the water, and I can swim, so I went into the water to save them."

"Didn't you think you would die?"

"I didn't think about it at that time." He Tang was a little helpless, "I just wanted to save people, I didn't think so much. Besides, I thought..."

Yang Jinshu could hear the subtlety in his tone, and quickly asked, "What?"

"At that time, I thought that other people who could swim would jump to save others like me. There was only one person who fell into the water, but there were many of us, so it would not be impossible to save them. However..." He Tang's expression was a little pale , "No one jumped off except me."

"..."

Yang Jinshu stopped and stared at him, trembling with fear.

Sure enough, He Tang went on to say: "The man I rescued was very scared and kept struggling in the water. I could have rescued him. We were only a dozen meters away from the shore, but he was too panicked. The struggle in the water was too strong, and I was also stepped on. I choked on several mouthfuls of water and had difficulty breathing. I wanted to ask the people on the shore for help, but they... were still hesitating whether to come down."

Yang Jinshu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"I know what they are worried about. If they want to go into the water to save people, they should take off their clothes, shoes and socks to reduce the burden. They are thinking whether the water is urgent or dangerous. They may also think that I can swim and dare to jump to save people. Surely they can be rescued, so maybe it was a waste of effort for them to jump down?" He Tang paused, and his words suddenly became sharper, "How can there be so many flukes in the struggle between life and death?"

Yang Jinshu fished him off his back, held him tightly in his arms, and said in a low voice, "It's just a mistake."

"Do you know how I died?" He Tang smiled, "The rescued man has been struggling. I have swam with him for a long time, but he has no strength left. I can only watch the people on the shore blur. face, drowned in the water."

He Tang lay in his arms, and said seriously: "Later I also thought about it, if...if that person hadn't struggled at that time, I could really have rescued him ashore, and I wouldn't have died, after all, I'm really not good at swimming. Low."

Yang Jinshu patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Don't you blame those people on the bank watching with cold eyes?"

"What is there to blame? Everyone has their own thoughts. My impulsiveness is my business, and others' caution is their business. I can't save people. If they die, they will live well on the shore. Family members will not be sad, and friends will not be sad. , to save myself, and to be responsible to myself and my family." He Tang raised his head and said calmly, "I have learned a truth since my parents passed away: no one in this world should save you, and you can't save yourself just because others refuse to save you." To save you and complain about others, you have to strengthen yourself and protect yourself, but..."

His voice lowered and became gentle: "I can choose to be a person who is different from them. Because the once weak and desperate self also hopes that someone will save him, because he has no one to save him, so he hopes that when others encounter trouble When it’s time, I can help out.”

Speaking of this, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "But probably I am not capable enough, and I always drag you down. It was okay before, I have no relatives and no reason, so I have nothing to drag you down. After getting to know you, I always give you trouble .”

Yang Jinshu looked at the young man with his head bowed in front of him, and sighed faintly.

"He Tang..." He pressed He Tang's shoulder and said seriously, "Do you know why I like you?"

"Because... destiny?" He Tang blinked, "The marriage certificate has already been issued, are you more feudal and superstitious?"

"..."

He Tang pursed his lips: "That's what it is. Dark marriage is a product of feudal superstition. Killing people doesn't pay for life!"

"..."

Yang Jinshu was angry and laughed, wanted to hit him but couldn't bear it, his warmth was distracted by him, and he said angrily: "Just torment me!"

After speaking, he turned and walked forward.

He Tang trotted all the way to catch up, and asked with a smile: "Jin Shu, you haven't said why you like me?"

Yang Jinshu gave him a blank look: "I don't like you."

He Tang complained: "Jin Shu, you have learned badly, you never lied before!"

"..." Yang Jinshu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he quickened his pace and walked up the mountain.

He Tang laughed and joked with him all the way, and went up the mountain in a blink of an eye.Because it is a ghost, it will not be injured like a mortal, nor will it stumble and roll down. After a few laps in the mountains, it found its destination.

The rumors in the market are probably bluffing, but the forest here is more lush than other places. In winter, except for a few wintersweet, there are no beautiful flowers.Just as He Tang was about to say that he was guilty of being stupid and trusting others, he saw him float to the top of a tree, and took out his flute to play a ditty.The tune is light and pleasant to the ear, and in this gloomy weather, there is a kind of joy that goes against harmony.

The sound of the flute woke up the animals hiding in the forest for the winter, and soon, the quiet mountain became lively, and the chirping of birds, beasts and insects could still be heard.He Tang sneaked a look, and saw some bold animals running out, hiding behind the trees and staring at them.

The squirrel ran back and forth on the treetops, and then squatted on the branch in front of Yang Jinshu, looking at him with curious eyes.

Yang Jinshu smiled faintly, played the flute by himself, lowered his eyes and blinked at He Tang.

He Tang puffed up his cheeks, and refused to stand on the tree, so he stood in the forest and looked around, looking at the animals in the forest.

Hares, foxes, squirrels, and small birds are some common animals.He Tang stared at the hare and fox squatting side by side, feeling very novel. When did the fox in winter become so kind?

Perhaps seeing his doubts, the hare suddenly jumped onto the fox's back. The fox raised its paws to scratch it, but it couldn't, so it had to lie on the ground and let it squat.

"..." He kind of believed that there was a ghost in this place.

After a while, there were more and more animals in the woods, pheasants, little black bears, and weasels all jumped out, and a few stones were rolling non-stop. They suddenly saw so many companions, grinning and domineering, They were chasing and fighting with each other, but He Tang saw that they were all well-trained, but unfortunately he didn't see any ghosts that took human form, probably the aura here is not unique enough, and these little monsters are not good enough.

He Tang burst out laughing and played with them on the ground.

Seeing that he was in a much happier mood, Yang Jinshu leaned against the tree trunk and changed the tune, playing a folk song he had heard when he was a child.

After nightfall, the mountains and forests are eerie and quiet, only this place is very lively, if someone breaks in by mistake, they will definitely think that this place is haunted.But Yang Jinshu and He Tang were ghosts, so they didn't care about it.

It was almost midnight, the clouds that had weighed down the whole day finally couldn’t hold back, and heavy snow fell one after another. The little animals who were afraid of the cold quickly hid back in their warm nests, and some who loved to play with the snow still stayed in the woods. Jumping and jumping, the hare and the fox are actually chasing each other for fun.

He Tang was delighted to see it, and jumped up to the treetop to grab a little squirrel and laughed.

The little squirrel slipped out of his hand in dissatisfaction, took out a pine cone from its nest and hit him on the head, but then slipped to the ground and carried the pine cone back to its nest.

He Tang didn't hurt or itch, and it was interesting to watch, so he intentionally cast a small spell to create a big pine cone to tease him.

Yang Jinshu had no choice but to take the flute to watch the fun with him.

He Tang suddenly remembered something, and said to him: "Jin Shu, let's... go back and see your parents, okay?"

"Huh?" Yang Jinshu raised his voice.

He Tang joked: "Ever since Yang Zhixian went to your house, you have never been in your parents' dreams again, are you not afraid that they will turn their anger on Yang Zhixian?"

"They won't..." Yang Jinshu realized He Tang's little kindness after speaking halfway through.

Even if the father and mother do not vent their anger, the timing of his departure is too coincidental. I am afraid that deep down in the heart of the father and mother, they still have some misunderstandings about Zhixian.

He didn't expect this layer, and couldn't help but startled.

He Tang threw the pine cone in his hand on his shoulder: "Will you go? I'll accompany you."

Yang Jinshu nodded: "Okay, after we got married, we haven't met our parents yet."

"..." He Tang raised his hand, "I only have one request, don't let me wear women's clothes."

Yang Jinshu laughed: "It's good that you are like this, parents won't be able to see."

He Tang was annoyed. He did look like Mrs. Six. He looked delicate and cute, but Yang Jinshu said so, so he felt that these years were a shame.
