Title: Starry Night Promised

Summary: If you are the person in front of you, growing old together will not be an empty promise.

Liang Zeren said: "Shen Lian also asked: 'Why can't it be harvested? The rice can be harvested at the end of the month, and there will be no famine in Wangzhou.' Wang Fengji said: 'Yes, Guo Bing will collect the second crop of rice for tax collection, but it will be exchanged for silver taels. The imperial court can't allocate the military salary, but the soldiers under my account are all waiting for the payment to eat. Now the transfer envoy insists on transferring new grain from Wangzhou. Once the warehouse is opened to store the grain, the transfer envoy will transfer the new grain. How do people eat?" Before I could say anything, Shen Lian said, "If taxes are raised, the Wangzhou farmers will not be able to survive." Wang Fengji nodded repeatedly. Shen Lian and I had to come back. Come back later."

At this moment, Shen Lian came in and sat down next to me and asked, "Master Guo, how do you collect the farmland tax in Wangzhou?" He changed into a new red shirt with the buttons unbuttoned.Guo Bing said: "Two liters of taxed rice per mu." Shen Lian said: "The soil varies from fertile to fertile, and it is unreasonable to have the same harvest per mu." The embroidered pouch looks familiar.

"It's unreasonable and you can only accept it like this. This is the law, unless you can change the law." The dishes were served on the table, and Guo Bing said, "Let's eat earlier."

A table of people chatted and ate.

It's only time after the banquet.On the way back to the wing room, I found that Wei Yan's forehead was not hot, his pulse was normal, and the wound on his left arm was scabbed.So he said, "Go out for a walk at night?" He said, "Okay." We left Zhizhou Prefecture.I went to the wine shop and bought a small bottle of cider. "Okay." He said as he took the bottle, "No medicine?"

"No," I said, "Although Hua Gong San is almost detoxified, I still have to drink it for the remaining five sessions. To detoxify the remaining poison."

He said, "Okay."

Yutan City is not only surrounded by the largest Huangshui River on the west, north, and east sides, but also has dozens of rivers, crisscross ditches, and dense river networks. Many city gates are used as bridges.I walked side by side with Wei Yan until the tributary of Huangshui.

The setting sun gradually sinks, and the thatched cottages on the opposite bank are scattered.Scattered candles cast light from the thatched huts.There are several small fishing boats tied to the shore.One of them is connected with three bamboo rafts.Nine ospreys stood on the bamboo raft with one leg, seeming to be taking a nap. From time to time, one of them poked its beak into its wings to scratch.The silver laurel tree above the head has just hung buds.The half-person-high weeds at the feet were dark yellow like the ears of autumn harvest wheat.

Wei Yan held my left hand, looked at the other side and asked, "What river?" I shook his rough hand back and said, "The Minjiang River is a tributary of the Huangshui River."

My face suddenly became cold, one drop, two drops... I raised my hand to wipe it, and more drops fell on my head and body.The sound of pattering rain is slight but cannot be ignored.The rain in Yutan City comes as soon as it is said, one layer of autumn rain and one layer of coolness.

The rain kept dripping from my hair, and I wiped the rain on my face indiscriminately.Wei Yan said, "Go back? It's cold." He focused on me, his eyelashes were dripping with water.He is not afraid of the cold, I shook my head: "The autumn rain in Yutan City is not a hindrance, do you like it?" I raised my head and drank a few mouthfuls of rainwater.The wild grass at the feet swayed in the wind, sweeping over the knees and legs.

"Like it," he said, "Stay here."

The rain is getting heavier.

The irritability of the journey was washed away, and I took another step towards the river.However, my feet were slippery, and my feet immediately flew into the air. I had to say, "Wei Yan, I'm not good at water..." The word "good" was submerged in the drinking water.

After a moment of panic, I relaxed my limbs to adapt to the oppression brought by the river.The quicksand and gravel in the river hit her body, and her shoulders were lifted up. With a "crash", I was suddenly pulled out of the river.The torrential rain poured down on my head and face, and the pain was vivid on my face.

Wei Yan grabbed me tightly with his left hand, and held a stone in his right hand.After the sharp piercing sound, a bamboo raft floated to my side along the water.Wei Yan grabbed the bamboo raft with his right hand and lifted me vigorously. I propped myself up on the bamboo raft and lay down on my back.

Wei Yan remained motionless in the water, with one foot sunk deeply into the mud by the river.

I put a few strands of hair sticking to his face behind his ears, and said with a smile: "Wei Yan, come up." He pulled out his feet, turned over beautifully, and lightly landed beside me and lay down.The bamboo rafts are ups and downs in the torrent.

The torrential rain poured down like a torrent, and the river water overflowed the whole body from time to time.The thunder seemed to tear the ears, and the lightning had split the sky.Everything is frightening.The world is vast, only this bamboo raft is floating in it.

And I held Wei Yan's hand tightly, feeling the coldness of the water and the roughness of the sand.So what if this is the last moment of the world's existence?He is beside me.

The rainstorm is getting smaller and smaller, just like feelings, the stronger it is, the easier it is to return to normal.

I quietly watched the scattered light rain disappear before my eyes.

Deep night.

The sky after the rainstorm has the texture of black velvet.Stars are dotted on it, twinkling non-stop.The sky seemed to be within reach, and I stretched out my hand involuntarily, only to realize that it was still far away.

A faint starlight sprinkled on the river.The waves rising from the river were extremely gentle, hitting the bamboo rafts and rippling away again and again.

In the distance, the ups and downs of insects chirping and the rustling of weeds are like a song that has been played for thousands of years.

The night is tender and heartbreaking.

The cool river breeze blows slowly; and the callused palms I hold are warm.

After the 16 Lantern Festival, I slipped into the water for the second time and got embarrassed.But when I turned my head to look at Wei Yan, I thought it was okay.

Because on September [-]nd of the year of Yongxu, I saw him smile for the first time.At that moment, he focused on the sky and laughed silently, stiff and bright, which made me unable to take my eyes off him.

Brightness can be used to describe many things, such as light, tone, and even eyes, but it should not describe a smile, but I can't think of another word.He regained his expressionless face and looked at me quietly.

Wei Yan has always been a real person.Even if some people say that the stubborn stone has no heart, but I remember that it is written in "Records of Customs and Humanities" that the stubborn rock is magma, which is soft and hot and melts everything.I leaned over to press his lips, and I had the illusion of being burned.The kiss changed from soft to intense, gradually becoming lustful.Before I knew it, Wei Yan turned against me and pressed on me.The raging tongue in the mouth clearly conveys aggression and possession, and there is a hard object on the leg.

Wei Yan paused, and the silver thread at the corner of his mouth revealed a different kind of obscenity.I couldn't help laughing, and pulled him to lie down again.

I broke the silence between each other: "Wei Yan, please smile more in the future."

"Stiff," he said, "it's not pretty."

I said, "But if you are happy, I will be happy too."

"Laugh." He said, and then asked again, "Master, why are you happy?"

I rubbed his thin lips with my thumb: "Because if there is someone in my heart, I want him to be happy, and I don't want him to be sad." Before I finished speaking, he nodded half-understanding.

Bamboo rafts swung to the riverside, just as lovers were parting.The woman pushed the man away and said, "Don't live in this life, I won't see you in the next life." The man chased after him.We abandoned the bamboo rafts and went ashore after the two had left.Wei Yan said: "Definitely." I said: "Maybe this is the way to say goodbye." Wei Yan said: "I will never part with the master." I said: "Go back to Hemu Medical Center after the epidemic is cured in Lizhou?"

Wei Yan replied: "Okay." I smiled: "That way we won't leave."

If it is the person in front of you, growing old together will not be an empty promise.
