Chapter 365
After Jiuselu led Le Zheng Yuhua out of the cave, they walked a little deeper than they had come. Even though there were several old willow trees blocking the way ahead, she still continued to move forward.
The willow tree consciously made way to the sides. Le Zheng Yuhua did not say anything, but just followed silently. After passing by, the willow tree returned to its original position.
After passing through the willow forest, there is an open meadow in front of us. There are all kinds of wild flowers on the meadow, exuding a faint fragrance. Not far from the meadow, there is a huge old tree with a thick trunk and lush branches and leaves. Under the tree is a small wooden house.
A small pond and a small wooden house. Only then did Le Zheng Yuhua realize that she had hidden a place that was more suitable for people to live in.
Although Le Zheng Yuhua did not say anything, Jiuselu explained with a guilty conscience: "I'm sorry, Master Yuhua, my house is too small for three of you. Besides, the dew is heavy and a bit cool at night on Lingdao Island. We are thick-skinned and can sleep in the grass, but you are different. What's more, it is very important to me, so I didn't arrange for you to live here."
"Miss Nine, you are too kind. We have already said that for those of us who live outdoors, it would be good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Jiuselu was relieved only after he was sure that he really didn't mind.
"Go over the small bridge, it's closer." Jiuselu paused, turned around, and bowed slightly to him, "I know it's not difficult to go over, please forgive me for getting used to it."
Yue Zheng Yuhua knew that she was accommodating the other person's identity as an ordinary person, and couldn't help asking: "Are you and him married?"
Le Zheng Yuhua thought it was simple, it was just a marriage, but Jiuselu thought too much and blushed. With the help of moonlight, Le Zheng Yuhua realized that she had misunderstood again.
"I just gave him a place to stay. It was just a chance meeting."
Le Zheng Yuhua looked at her reaction and realized that she might have misunderstood his meaning again. It was really embarrassing, so he remained silent for the time being.
After crossing the bridge and arriving in front of the cabin, he looked outside. Isn’t this such a pleasant environment exactly what he wanted?
The Nine-Colored Deer looked at him, treating him as himself, with eyes full of love, thinking about "renewing the past relationship" with him and having a future with him.
Le Zheng Yuhua stood in front of the hut, took a deep breath, and felt the freshness and tranquility of the night. His eyes were full of expectations and longings for the future, as if he had already seen the scene of retreating to the mountains with Mu Xin and spending the rest of their lives together.
In a trance, Jiuselu seemed to see him coming back, and couldn't help but call out: "Lin Lang!" She quickly reacted, pretending nothing had happened, and said: "Master Yuhua, please come this way."
The cabin was next to the ancient tree, and the Nine-Colored Deer invited him into the cabin.
As the door creaked open, the candle on the table lit up automatically. The room was simply decorated, but there was no smell of mold. It was spotless but didn't look like anyone lived there.
The place was not big, only about ten square meters, and there was a door on the right. Le Zheng Yuhua took a glance and saw that the inside was also very simple, with a lot of paintings hanging on the walls. Le Zheng Yuhua seemed to see him picking up his pen and creating the Eight Diagrams of the Sea here.
"Master Yuhua, please wait here. I will be back soon."
When he came in, Le Zheng Yuhua had already seen a kitchen on the left. He also wanted to take a good look at the mental journey of creating the Eight Diagrams of the Sea. Although he already knew where Le Zhenglei and the others were, he was still interested in the Eight Diagrams of the Sea.
Jiuselu turned around and walked out, and Le Zheng Yuhua walked into the room. Outside the window were the branches of the ancient tree.
The Nine-Colored Deer walked under the old tree and gently stroked the trunk, as if telling something. Le Zheng Yuhua quietly observed all this through the window. He could feel the deep feelings that the Nine-Colored Deer had for the old tree, and also the sadness and helplessness in her heart.
The Nine-Colored Deer also noticed his gaze, turned around and looked at him with deep affection in her eyes. Le Zheng Yuhua guessed that she mistook herself for him again.
"This ancient tree is a sacred tree that my people and I have guarded for generations." The Nine-Colored Deer said, "It existed even earlier than this spiritual island. No matter how the world changes, it will always be here. It has witnessed our growth and will guard our future."
"Ninth Miss, I will remember this ancient tree." Le Zheng Yuhua said, "I will also remember the help and kindness you have given us."
Jiuselu smiled slightly, "Favor? Yuhua really feels that he owes me... a favor?"
Le Zheng Yuhua always felt that there was something else behind her words, so she did not answer, but just smiled and nodded slightly.
Jiuselu smiled shyly and turned away. Le Zheng Yuhua's expression instantly became serious. He couldn't help but think of Yingyue and his brows immediately frowned.
Le Zheng Yuhua looked through the things he left behind and was able to roughly see the process of his creation of the Eight Diagrams of the Sea. He felt his passion at that time and couldn't help but sigh that he was really daring and admired him sincerely.
Le Zheng Yuhua saw a stack of papers neatly stacked together, which contained basically repetitive content, and every stroke made Le Zheng Yuhua feel familiar.
Modern characters, Arabic numerals, and English abbreviations, Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't help but feel homesick. Even though he knew he was supposed to belong to this world, he still felt that his mother was better than his father's.
All the information on the paper was his personal information. Only then did Le Zheng Yuhua know that his name was Lin Shengye. He was only 22 years old when he came here. He was still an excellent student, majoring in archaeology from a prestigious university.
"Spring of 2023, and he's still a post-00s. Archaeology major? This university... no wonder he knows so much."
Le Zheng Yuhua could see that he was writing slowly and steadily at the beginning, but his temper gradually increased as he wrote cursive characters later on. Based on the modern time notations above, he guessed that he had lost his patience with not being able to go back.
Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't help but think of her own past discomfort, and he came here voluntarily, so Lin Shengye might have traveled through time by accident.
"He's just an unsophisticated college student."
Le Zheng Yuhua could understand his fear and his desire to go back.
When Le Zheng Yuhua saw a familiar name, she thought she had seen it wrong for a moment. She picked it up and saw that the book really said "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and there was another book "Dream of the Red Chamber" underneath.
He flipped it open and took a look, surprised at his memory, thinking that he must have read it several times. Le Zheng Yuhua was indescribably moved at the moment when he could see a novel about his own world.
Suddenly, he saw this sentence written in red: "I said I like Zhuge Liang's intelligence, and you said you like Zhuge Liang's humor. Is this the reason why you prefer to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
Le Zheng Yuhua thoughtfully put down the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and picked up Dream of the Red Chamber. On the first page, it was written: "If it wasn't a required subject, you said you wouldn't read Dream of the Red Chamber."
Le Zheng Yuhua flipped through the pages and saw his words written in Chapter 27, "At the Dicui Pavilion, Yang Fei plays with colorful butterflies; at the fragrant tomb, Feiyan weeps over the withered petals."
"I thought Baochai was lively and cute when she chased butterflies, but you said she was scheming, trying to guess people's minds at will, and even dragged Sister Lin into the water."
Le Zheng Yuhua seemed to have some understanding of his anxiety to go back, because it turned out that he already had someone in his heart.
As the pages turned, Le Zheng Yuhua saw red words at the back. She opened the book and saw: "You said you like Lin Daiyu more, but I never thought that you are more like her."
There was also a sentence written at the bottom: "So you like me."
Le Zheng Yuhua could see traces of tears and felt the wind like his hands.
"Did you go back in the end? Lin Shengye."
