Chapter 26 The Herbalist is Charming (Twenty-three)
There is a line in "The Song of the Yue People" that goes like this: "There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees. I love you but you don't know it." When Li Li and Meng Yi were not together, she sometimes thought of this line.
When she read about it in books before, she felt that if she liked someone, she must let him know. But when she really liked a man, she would be timid and dare not express her little thoughts. Fortunately, Meng Yi took the initiative to push her out of her timidity.
The wind and rain are like obscurity, and cock crows endlessly.After seeing a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy?
The two sat by the fire and grilled fish. After applying Li Li's secret sauce, the aroma filled the air.
Meng Yi handed the roasted whole fish in his hand to Qingli.
Qingli: "Huh? This fish is so big, I can't finish it. How about you share some for yourself? You eat more than me."
Meng Yi: "Both fish are quite big. I'll share some. If you don't have enough, there's another one grilled."
Qingli: "That's enough, definitely enough."
Meng Yi: "Eat more, or you'll be hungry soon."
Qingli: "Hmm...it's really enough. Besides, if I'm hungry, won't you find me something to eat?"
Her eyes rolled around and she tilted her head to look at Meng Yi with a smile.
Meng Yi: "Of course! Even if Li'er doesn't tell me, Meng Yi will help you find food to eat. You can eat it as a snack even if you are not hungry."
Qingli: "You think I'm a kid, eating snacks."
She smiled shyly and pouted, acting like a rare little girl.
Meng Yi was also happy to see this and made a few jokes.
Meng Yi: "Just because you're not a child doesn't mean you can't eat snacks?"
Meng Yi: "When our children are born, I will tell them to learn martial arts well and protect their mother."
Meng Yi: "They also want to pamper mother and prepare everything mother wants."
Qingli: "Oh! Meng Yi! You are talking nonsense! When did I promise to give you...?"
Qingli: "Give you...a child!"
Meng Yi smiled and didn't refute.
She was originally angry, but when she saw Meng Yi looking at her lovingly, she felt embarrassed again and her voice became lower and lower.
Qingli: "Stop looking at me, flip it over quickly, the fish is getting burnt."
Meng Yi quickly turned the fish over and grilled it over low heat without exposing her words. The fish did not get burnt at all.
The two of them enjoyed their lunch in silence.
It rained heavily last night and the sky cleared up in the afternoon. The two of them walked out of the cave. She took a deep breath and the ground was filled with the fragrance of green grass and a faint scent of flowers.
Although it is dangerous below the cliff, with dense forests and swamps, the scenery is beautiful and there is a rainbow bridge in the distance. It is truly a paradise.
Now they are trapped under the cliff and cannot find a way out for the time being, so they can only "make the best of it".
Meng Yi knew his father was a clever and adaptable person, and that those with ulterior motives wouldn't easily succeed. In their eyes, his fall from the cliff was nothing more than a death. No matter how anxious he was, he might as well recuperate at the foot of the cliff. Getting out would be best, but if he couldn't, it was fate.
At night, Qingli and Meng Yi sat at the entrance of the cave.
The bright moon cast its cool afterglow, covering the entire cliff base with a thin, transparent blanket. In the distance came the howling of wolves, and nearby there was the gurgling of a spring.
Li Li occasionally wondered what would happen if they stayed at the foot of the cliff for the rest of their lives. She thought it might be possible with Meng Yi by her side. If they could get out, as long as Meng Yi didn't leave her alone, she would naturally follow him, no matter where he went.
Meng Yi: "Li'er, can you promise me one thing?"
Qingli: "What's the matter?"
Meng Yi: "You have to promise me first."
Qingli: "You speak first."
Meng Yi: "From now on, when you encounter danger, protect yourself first. Don't always think about 'sacrificing your life for justice'. Your life is also precious. You should love yourself more than others."
She was touched and surprised. She didn't expect him to say that.
Qingli: "Including you and your children?"
Meng Yi: "Well, at least Meng Yi hopes that you love yourself more than you love me, and more than you love our child."
Meng Yi is selfish. If he needs to make a choice one day, he doesn't want Li Li to sacrifice herself for her husband and children.
Qingli: "What about you? Can you love yourself more than you love me?"
Meng Yi smiled and said nothing, holding her against his chest. The mountain breeze blew quietly, and the two looked up at the stars and chatted about the astrology...
