Chapter 29: Marriage

Du Qing stared with surprise and said: "Are you going to be a Taoist in the Taoist Temple? I think what you have done these days is amazing enough. Can you make me more surprised? You are so young and have profound knowledge and superb martial arts. Why do you want to be a Taoist?A real man should strive to make a great career. He should have the honor of making future generations proud. Like the most famous general Huo Qubing, he sacrificed to heaven on the Wolf Juxu Mountain in the enemy country and left a stone tablet in the enemy city as a mark. Such a life is not a waste of life! You should be worthy of your excellent skills! If you want to become a taoist, I'm the first to disagree! "

Li Changsheng poured a glass of water and handed it to him. "Brother Du, I'm not interested in fame and wealth. I'm not going to be a Taoist at this time."

Du Qing said, "Do your parents agree? Confucius said that there are three things that are unfilial.The most unfilial thing of the three is not to marry and not to have children!Brother, I can't bear to see you waste your time."

Li Changsheng felt grateful and stood up and bowed deeply. "I was deeply moved by Brother Du's care and sincere words. I am not going to be a Taoist, and my parents and sister are people I can't forget. I just went to the mountain to learn Taoist Kung Fu for a few years."

Du Qing said: "These days, Yan Yue's parents have been begging me to be the matchmaker between you and Yan Yue. They said that Yan Yue has suffered unimaginable difficulties in her life in recent months, and her mental health has been greatly damaged. These days, Yan Yue has quietly shed tears during the day, and sleeps in nightmares at night. She feels that she has no interest in living. The worst thing is that she extremely rejects and dislikes men. Yan Yue is even wary of her father, only You are the only man she is willing to contact and talk to. "

"Yin Shicang and his wife kept a close watch on their daughter, fearing that Yan Yue would commit suicide. They were exhausted and nearly broke down after only five days away from Hengyang. They thought it was not a good way. After discussing it, they asked Yan Yue if there was any way to make her happy and cheer up to live again. Yin Yue said that only when she was with Li Changsheng in this life, she felt safe and calm in her heart. If she could marry Li Changsheng, it would be best. If she can't marry Li Changsheng, she would rather be a servant or nanny beside Li Changsheng without regret. Otherwise, it will be hard to escape the shadow of the Devil's Cave in her life."

Li Changsheng was about to open his mouth when he found that Yan Yue had already walked to the door and was secretly looking into the room. Yan Yue smiled and was shy.

Du Qing joked, "Do you remember what I said in Hengyang? I said at the time that the trouble was still behind. Come in, Miss Yin Yue. You two sit and chat, and I'll go out and ask the shopkeeper to prepare breakfast." Du Qing turned around and went out, and closed the door.

Li Changsheng was flustered for a while. He thought it was a headache.

Yin Yue bowed her head and whispered: "Since I was saved by you, I can't express my gratitude. Your demeanor has always appeared in my mind, and I admire you immensely. Our Chinese marriage custom is that parents agree first, and there is a matchmaker who introduced me in advance. So I think it's not rude to propose to you now. I would like to show you my heart here: I would like to follow you in this life, live and die together. Heaven, earth, sun and moon can prove my oath now!"

"Oh! Miss Yan Yue, please sit down and talk."

Li Changsheng felt that his face was red and his heart was beating, so he coughed twice to cover up his panic, but he didn't know how to answer. He knew Yan Yue's tragic experience. The girl was extremely vulnerable and sensitive. Li Changsheng was worried that his words might end her hope of survival.

Yan Yue sat down gracefully, her voice full of shyness: "When Mr. Li saved me in the cave, I had the idea of marrying you to repay your kindness. I hope you don't dislike my ugly appearance."

Li Changsheng stroked his chin and said nothing. He pondered words and sentences in his mind, and did not know how to express them in order to push away this troublesome matter.

Yin Yue didn't hear Li Changsheng speak, looked up at Li Changsheng and pleaded: "You are powerful and talented. I know that I am ugly, and I have only been to college for a year, and I don't have much knowledge and insight. I understand that I am not good enough for you. So I won't make you embarrassed, as long as you agree that I am around you every day. I am willing to be a servant or maid for you." She said with tears.

Li Changsheng had to say something:"Miss Yan Yue, don't complain,please. I'm so touched by your favor. I hesitated just now, because I have something important to do in recent years, and I'm afraid to delay your youth.

"If you agree to marry me, let alone for a few years, even for decades, even for a lifetime, I will wait." Yan Yue's face fell with two lines of clear tears, but her voice was clear and firm.

Seeing the tears on her face, Li Changsheng couldn't help asking himself: "What have you done? Is it the result you want to see that makes such a beautiful girl cry bitterly?"

Li Changsheng said slowly, "You are born beautiful and more beautiful than the most beautiful Xizi in the legend. Everyone has a love for beauty. What's more, you have an infatuated love for me. But we don't know much about each other. Now I have mercy for you and no love. Don't you worry about marrying the wrong person in the future?"

Yan Yue dried her tears, Look up at Li Changsheng: "I stayed in the dark cave for three months, and I live in endless fear and despair every day. I have no hope for the future. But that day in the cave, I heard you say that even if you go through fire and hot water, you will send us home. You must do good things to the end, and send the Buddha to heaven. I knew you are a person with love and righteousness, beginning and ending. So I do not regret today's choice. In the future, even if you sell me, it is also my fate I won't hate you. "

The morning sun shines into the room through the window, and the sun and shadow form a wonderful boundary in the room. Yin Yue just stood at the boundary line. She is like an angel coming from heaven to earth, but her heart is endless darkness. Sitting on the chair in the shadow, Li Changsheng has bright and warm eyes and a strong masculinity, which drives her to rush like a moth.

Yan Yue threw herself into Li Changsheng's arms and hugged him tightly. Her face pressed against his strong and hard chest and whispered, "I will only marry you in my life!"

Li Changsheng stroked her hair and said, "I plan to go to Zhongnan Mountain to find a Taoist temple to practice for several years. What will you do with me?"

Yan Yue raised her head, and her eyes lit with joy: "You go to practice in the Taoist temple, and I send you meals every day." Li Changsheng's tone was no longer very firm to refuse her, and he stroked her hair, which made her very happy.

Li Changsheng simply said, "No way! I study Taoist Kung Fu in a Taoist temple, where there is food and shelter."

Yan Yue lowered her head in disappointment, and her heart was more sad than expected, and her tears flowed out again.

Li Changsheng explained: "You also have your own life! Aren't you still in college? A girl like you, any man can't extricate himself from seeing you. No matter who marries you, it is his great blessing. He should hold you in his palm and take care of you. You live with me in a dilapidated temple in the mountains, cook and deliver meals every day, don't you feel aggrieved?"

Li Changsheng's words made Yan Yue excited, and she was surprised. It turned out that Li Changsheng refused her for her consideration. She straightened up and looked at Li Changsheng and said, "My life track has been disturbed by traffickers. I feel physically and mentally exhausted. I can't continue to study. As long as you accept me as your wife, you practice on the mountain, and I find a place to live at the foot of the mountain, I will wait for you there. After your practice is over, we will live together. I will serve you all my life."
