柳延喜歡伊墨，具體要問他喜歡什麼，他又回不上來，絞盡腦汁想半天，大約也只能回答一個：好看！
當然，如果他能井井有條地將自己的喜歡一字擺開，他就不是傻子了。伊墨也就不會這麼氣悶。
本來第一世，瘦骨嶙峋的沈清軒就已經是高攀了他；第二世大富大貴又文韜武略俱全，配一個千年的妖也勉強湊合，結果，不肯！寧可死，也不願意放下一切跟他走；
到了第三世，什麼都肯了，卻是個癡呆。
伊墨氣悶是應該的。
但他不是如此世俗的妖，所以氣悶的也非這些，而是在傻子面前，他也像個傻子。
譬如這晚，柳延坐在浴桶裡玩水，伊墨給他潔身，洗到中途，伊墨說：“傻子。”
傻子扭過頭，說：“嗯？”
伊墨說：“你又長胖了。”
柳延聞言低下頭看自己，果然在清澈水裡，白白軟軟的肉就顯得更白更軟，也更胖了。柳延見事實擺在眼前，怯怯地抬起臉來，問：“伊墨不喜歡胖子嗎？”
伊墨望著他的臉，突然喊：“沈清軒。”
柳延遲鈍了一下，很快反應過來說：“我在。”
伊墨眨了一下眼，說：“柳延。”
柳延不知道他是什麼意思，又遲疑了一下，說：“我在這。”全然看不出眼前人的戲弄。
伊墨又喊：“季玖。”
本以為柳延會應一聲，而後借機逗弄他兩世都沒這麼胖，會是怎樣反應的。結果柳延聞聲一癟嘴，倒是往後縮了縮，像是害怕了似的道：“不是季玖，紅痣已經沒了，我不是季玖。”
伊墨聞聲愣了一下，問為什麼，柳延答道：“季玖不好，我不是季玖。”
伊墨當下就有了些不悅，卻也沒表現出來，只是問：“他怎麼不好？”渾然不覺自己跟一個傻子戲弄，又沒戲弄成把自己惹生氣是一件多可笑的事。
柳延說：“他對你不好。”說著自己想了想，道：“你去找他，他卻討厭你，就是不好。”
他說的理所當然，卻不知道伊墨從未說過，第一次找到季玖時，兩人之間出了什麼事。
柳延不知道，伊墨自己卻心知肚明。他暗自歎息，卻也懶得和傻子解釋。
水漸漸也涼了，柳延被擦得乾乾淨淨，像個剛出籠的小包子。伊墨給他套上衣物，又將物什都歸置好了，才掩了門，走進內廂。
到了榻上，伊墨才對被子裡的小包子道：“季玖也好得很。”
他說得很輕，似乎只是說給自己聽，與柳延無關。
向來他說什麼便是什麼的，柳延自然信他，卻也一時半會兒變不了自己腦中觀念——因為傻子都固執，可內心掙扎一番，也就依了。
柳延道：“那你叫我季玖，我也應你。”
伊墨“哧”了聲，道：“你這輩子除了吃和睡，哪一點比得過前兩世？”
柳延不急不惱，相當寬心地回他：“那你也喜歡我。”語氣鏗鏘。
伊墨原本就要說“誰喜歡你”，猛地想到這話一旦說出來，這一夜都消停不得，頓時閉了口，有些惱又有些不甘地躺下了。後腦剛沾上枕頭，伊墨就立刻知道，被傻子一句話堵得連反駁都不能的自己，才是真正的傻子。
正欲有所表現，伊墨卻突然抿唇從榻上坐了起來。柳延向來是一沾枕頭就睡，他這麼一起身，柳延的睡意就溜走了些。
柳延跟著坐起身，問：“怎麼了？”
伊墨道：“無事，故人來訪。”說著欲離開，柳延扯了他的袖子，眼底的牽掛濃的化不開。就是傻子，也知道這些年從不與人交往的伊墨，是有事了。
望見他神情，伊墨頓了一下，隨後又彎腰過去，在柳延臉上親了一下，說著無事，打開房門走了。
院門外，站著許明世。剛走到門前，還未來得及伸手叩響門環，木門就無聲無息地敞開了。
許明世也是見怪不怪，邁腿跨進了小院，抬頭就對上了伊墨的眼睛，正在夜色裡悄然無息的亮著。
他們一人依舊風華絕代，容顏不改；一人早已鬚髮皆白，皺紋蒼蒼。
倒真是故人了。
故人相見，自然是開門見山，無需那套繁瑣扭捏，凡人的客套不適宜他們。所以伊墨問何事，許明世就答要請他幫忙。
伊墨沉默了片刻，道：“我走不開。”
“我通知沈玨了，他明日就趕回接你的手。”許明世道：“這事非你不可了。”
伊墨點了點頭，其實知道，這人匆匆趕來，想來確實是大麻煩。他是個不愛麻煩的妖，卻被沈清軒拉入了紅塵十三載，在他走後，連沈家的末路都出手相助了，又怎麼會不幫這個十三年中，常常來做客的小道士。連與他有深仇大恨的沈玨，都始終想不好，到底要拿這個常常來家中做客的道士該怎麼辦。
凡人都念著一面之情，他們雖是妖，卻也念著十三年的情分。
回頭看了眼掩成一道縫的房門，伊墨道：“稍後便走，你候著吧。”說著回到房中。
柳延在榻上等他，等他來了，卻又不知該說什麼才好。他雖傻，卻不是連危機感都沒有，來了故人，他怕伊墨會離開。
可伊墨確實要離開。
伊墨道：“明日沈玨回來，他會照顧你。我出門一趟，快則一個月，慢則半年，你在家等我。”
柳延睜著大眼睛，像是聽不懂似的，傻傻地望著他。
伊墨又問：“聽清了嗎？”
柳延呆了半晌，才嚅囁著道：“可是……我從沒和你分開過。”說著，也不知道為什麼，心口一酸，自己就紅了眼。
——我從沒和你分開過。
一個傻子的話，本不該在意什麼。可伊墨，也切切實實感到了難過。
與柳延來說，他們不曾分離過。與他來說，他們已經分離過很多次，並且，每一次都很久。
這一次，最多也不過半年而已。
伊墨說：“有什麼可哭的？你在家等我就是。”
傻子望著他，許久才又問：“會好好的回來嗎？”
伊墨扯了扯唇，道：“還沒什麼能傷得了我。”
他這樣說，柳延就不再擔心，他在眼裡，這人是無所不能的，沒有什麼能傷害的了他。由此可見，他雖傻，卻和前兩世一樣，有一雙毒辣的眼睛。
也正因為他傻，所以他不知道，能傷害伊墨的，除了伊墨自己，還有他。
伊墨彎著身，親著他的額頭道：“在家好好的，聽沈玨的話，等我回來。”
柳延的大眼睛裡噙著淚花，雖然不舍，卻也沒有胡攪蠻纏，點著頭道：“我乖乖的，我在家等你啊……”
我在家等你。
伊墨為這句話不自禁的微笑了一下，隨即離開。
柳延抱著被子，破天荒的沒有沾枕就睡，而是睜著眼，呆呆望著重新被關好的房門，一夜未合。
伊墨走了。
沈玨來時，見到的就是巴巴望著房門，臉上掛著淚痕的柳延。默默地歎了氣，沈玨知道自己責任重大，少了一根汗毛，父親都會踹自己的。
走過去連哄帶勸，柳延下了地，卻不要他幫忙，自己穿了衣袍，洗漱過後坐在桌前安安靜靜地吃飯。
吃完飯，又回床睡了。晚上醒來，又是簡單梳洗，重新吃過晚飯，再去睡。
第二天，一切照舊。
第三天晚上，沈玨燒了熱水抬了浴桶進房，柳延也不要他幫忙，自己關了房門默默地把自己洗乾淨。
沒了伊墨，他仿佛一夜成長。原先沈玨記憶裡那個連飯都吃不好的傻子，現在已經能將自己打理得很好。
除了束髮。
他總是束不好，往日這些事都是伊墨做的，衣袍尚能看著學會如何穿，束髮卻難倒了他。試了幾次都失敗後，柳延摔了木梳，從裡袍扯了一塊素布，將自己鬆鬆垮垮的綁了一下。
晚膳時沈玨見了那塊素布，道：“白色是戴孝。”
柳延當場就將那布扯了，連髮絲都生生扯下一縷。
沈玨眼皮跳了一下，隱約從他身上看到了自己爹爹狠絕的影子。已經一個月了，柳延一個字都沒有說過，不吵也不鬧，安安靜靜地守在屋子裡。
沈玨離山時知道他說話費力，也不曾聽他流利的吐出一句完整的話來，所以並不放在心上。
一個月後，沈玨見他每天吃好睡足，卻以肉眼看不見的速度慢慢消瘦，就知道這樣下去不行。
也不管柳延怎麼反抗，將他帶下了山，去山下城鎮裡遊玩。
一路上柳延都不合作，只要沈玨不注意，掉頭就往回跑，拼命拼命的想回到山上去——他答應伊墨的，在家裡好好等他。
沈玨抓了他幾次，最後想了想道：“他沒事的，只是一時半會回不來，你若是不開心，就這樣瘦下去，他回來了會不高興的。”
其實也真不是什麼大事，不過是一些道人和尚降妖伏魔時手段太過激烈，又不分好壞，全部斬殺。終於惹惱了妖魔們。
妖魔自古不分家，事實上還是有間隙的，這一回卻聚集在一起要復仇。事關重大，許明世怕無辜的凡人也遭一場血洗，這才請了伊墨去，調和也罷，殺人也罷，以伊墨的道行，這些小妖小魔或未脫離肉體凡胎的降魔衛道士，都拿他沒轍。
許明世知道自己的道行，在人間行走遇到個把敵手還可以應付，多了他便是死路一條。而伊墨卻不同，他是要成仙的妖，兩方都沒有他的敵手。
他這把年紀，早已看透這世間規則。
拳頭硬的人，才有說話的權利。
柳延聽了他的話，等了許久，才點了點頭。他自己也知道，最近清瘦許多，再不是浴桶裡，伊墨說的那個小胖子了。
沈玨見他答應了，連忙拉著他，帶他去城中繁華之地遊玩。柳延跟在伊墨身後，也下過山，卻因為伊墨要尋找那一魂一魄，就算遇到熱鬧，也是轉身就走，從未帶他玩過。而今柳延算是開了眼界，才知道人間有這許多好玩的東西，耍猴子的，敲大鼓的，拍案講書的，搭了個場子唱戲的，還有表演噴火的，胸口碎大石的……，他的眼睛轉來轉去，一天下來，眼珠子都累得疼了。
第二天在客棧起身，洗漱早膳畢了，沈玨又帶著他玩，玩累了就在茶樓上歇歇腳，飲著茶，吃點心。這樣日復一日，兩個月過去了。柳延雖不曾再瘦，卻也沒有再胖起來。他終究，還是掛念伊墨的。
人心中一旦有了掛念，就是傻子，也會嘗到相思之苦。
柳延晚上在陌生的床榻上，板著指頭算日子，他在山中住了一個月，又下山玩了兩個月零七天，他一根手指一根手指的數，因為腦子不濟事，數了許多遍，天都亮了，才數出來，伊墨走了三個多月，一共是九十九天了。伊墨還沒有回來。
抱著被子，柳延忍不住又想哭了。他想他，挖心掏肺的想。
第一百天，柳延不肯再玩了，堅持要回山。沈玨勸了幾次都無用，也就罷了，不再勸阻。他知道有些事情，勸阻是無用的。
在外一個人這幾年，沈玨走著走著，就會覺得累，想到伊墨找了這許多年，也不知道是怎麼堅持下來的。沈玨覺得，若是自己，一定堅持不下來。
比起沈清軒的三生，沈玨有自知之明，他才是嬌生慣養的孩子。從小就沒吃過什麼苦，先是沈清軒護著，沈清軒沒了，是伊墨護著，一直護到今天。
幾乎沒有遭遇挫折，也就沒有什麼吃苦耐勞的精神。
對皇帝，沈玨承認是喜歡的，但喜歡到什麼程度，卻難說。起碼沈玨知道，還沒有喜歡到，可以寂寞尋找幾百年的地步。
在路上一個人走的時候，沈玨會想家，很想。也許是嬰兒時驟然失去父母，雖然沒有記憶，卻有敏銳的本能意識，所以被沈清軒抱養了後，就格外戀家。
戀爹爹，戀父親。想家。
但是，家已經變了模樣，沈玨又害怕回來。怕看到傷心的伊墨，也怕看到，不再有風華的爹爹。
一路上靜靜想著心思，沈玨走在後面，倒是柳延因為心急，所以走在他前面。他傻歸傻，出了城門，怎麼回山的路卻記得清清楚楚，而在城裡，他卻是一點也不識路的。
剛出城門一裡地，就聽見了遠處傳來的敲鑼打鼓聲，有人吹奏的特別喜慶的調子，透過空氣傳入他們耳裡。
柳延在城裡待了兩個月，也見識不少好玩的事，卻從未聽過這麼歡快的樂曲，頓時停下腳步，問沈玨：“那是什麼？”
沈玨一聽就知那是什麼，便回到：“有人娶親。”
“娶親？”柳延迷惑地問：“那是什麼？吃的還是玩的？”
沈玨笑了一聲，只好拉他朝前方走去，一邊走一邊跟他解釋娶親是什麼——就是一個男的，和一個女的，拜過天地和高堂，回家過日子。
沈玨詳細解釋了成親的過程，接著又意猶未盡的加了自己的注釋：成親之後，兩個人就不能分開，要一直在一起，老了，死了，埋進同一個墓穴裡。
柳延聽著的同時，也直勾勾看著黃土大道上逐漸走進的迎親隊。
為首的新郎官長的很是憨實，騎了一匹高頭大馬，後面是鼓樂隊，接著是一抬大紅花轎，綴著彩色繡球。
沈玨說：“走吧，有什麼好看的。”說著拔腿就走。
卻不料正是此時，柳延猛地甩開他的手，像個發射的炮仗似的朝那花轎沖了過去，動作快的簡直都不像個傻子。
迎親隊頓時亂了手腳，誰也沒料到會半途殺出這樣個人來，像是要搶親似的，直奔新娘的轎子。
等柳延鑽過兩個轎夫的身側，揮起了轎簾後，兩旁的婦人才反應過來，一邊驚聲怪叫著，一邊就要攔他。
卻又哪裡攔得住此時的柳延。
柳延看到了轎子裡蒙著蓋頭的新嫁娘，一身大紅衣裙端莊坐著，似乎是被嚇著了，動也不敢動。
柳延一把扯了她的紅蓋頭。
這個時候已經有反應過來的人，揮著手裡的鼓樂之器要揍他了。沈玨倏地撲過去，抓住柳延肩頭，一甩手就將他扛在背上，瘋了般跑起來。
兩三下就沒了蹤影。
只剩一隊沒有反應過來的迎親隊，和失了蓋頭的新娘子。
由於沈玨奔得太瘋狂，所以柳延閉著眼，只覺得耳朵兩旁風聲呼嘯。沈玨就這麼扛著他，一路奔回山。
等回到家，把背上柳延放下來時，沈玨發現柳延臉色都白了，這才後悔自己奔得太快。
一側臉，卻見柳延手上緊緊攥著一個紅蓋頭，因為一路攥得極緊，所以手指都根根泛著白。
沈玨若有所思地望著他的臉，又看了看他手中攥著的紅蓋頭，來回幾次過後，就明白了。
因為明白，所以才忍不住長長地歎了一口氣。
沈玨歎道：您果然是我爹。
三生三世，執迷不悟，執迷不悔。
日光澄澈，院子裡擺了一張木椅，柳延坐在椅子上，正閉著眼打盹，神態恬靜，輪廓在金色光線裡，也呈現出一種柔美。
伊墨跨進小院，在看到他時，忍不住連呼吸都頓了一下。
仿佛瞬間回到兩百多年前，也是山中小院，他看到了在日光下曬著太陽睡去的沈清軒。
一步一步走過去，伊墨分明聽見自己心跳的快了起來。
柳延仿佛也有了感應，迷瞪著，睜開了眼。見到他時，竟然呆住了。
近半年的時光，日日夜夜思念之苦，這人卻出現在自己眼前了，柳延站起身時掐了自己一把，疼痛讓他激醒過來。
柳延往前邁了一步，與伊墨胸膛相貼了，這才凝望著他的眼，低聲道：“伊墨，我要娶你。”
——伊墨，我要娶你。
三生三世，執迷不悔，執迷不悟。
見伊墨沒有反應，柳延略提高了音量，又重複一遍：
“我要娶你。”
————————————————
Liu Yan likes Yi Mo, but when asked specifically what he likes about her, he can’t answer. After racking his brains for a long time, he can only give one answer: Good-looking!
Of course, if he could lay out his likes in an orderly manner, he would not be a fool, and Yi Mo would not be so depressed.
In the first life, the skinny Shen Qingxuan was already marrying up to him; in the second life , he was rich and powerful , and had both literary and military skills, so he could barely make do with a thousand-year-old demon. In the end, she refused! She would rather die than give up everything and go with him;
In the third life , he was willing to do everything, but he was still an idiot.
It’s normal for Yi Mo to feel upset.
But he was not such a worldly demon, so he was not upset about these things, but that in front of a fool, he also acted like a fool.
For example, this evening, Liu Yan was playing in the bathtub while Yi Mo cleaned him up. Halfway through, Yi Mo said, “Fool."
The fool turned his head and said, “Huh?"
Yi Mo said: “You have gained weight again."
Hearing this, Liu Yan lowered his head to look at himself. Sure enough, in the clear water, his white and soft flesh looked even whiter, softer, and fatter. Seeing the facts before him, Liu Yan timidly raised his face and asked, “Does Yi Mo not like fat people?"
Yi Mo looked at his face and suddenly called out, “Shen Qingxuan."
Liu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and said, “I’m here."
Yi Mo blinked and said, “Liu Yan."
Liu Yan didn’t know what he meant, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, “I’m here." He was completely unaware that the person in front of him was teasing him.
Yi Mo called out again: “Ji Jiu."
I thought Liu Yan would respond, and then take the opportunity to tease him about how he would react since he had never been so fat in his two lives . But Liu Yan pouted when he heard the voice, and shrank back, as if he was scared, and said: “I am not Ji Jiu, the red mole is gone, I am not Ji Jiu."
Yi Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice and asked why. Liu Yan replied: “Ji Jiu is not good, I am not Ji Jiu."
Yi Mo felt unhappy at the moment, but he didn’t show it. He just asked, “What’s wrong with him?" He didn’t realize how ridiculous it was that he was teasing a fool but didn’t make himself angry.
Liu Yan said, “He treats you badly." He thought for a moment and said, “You went to him, but he hated you. That’s not good."
He said it as a matter of course, but he didn’t know that Yi Mo never told him what happened between them when he first found Ji Jiu.
Liu Yan didn’t know, but Yi Mo knew it very well. He sighed secretly, but was too lazy to explain to the fool.
The water gradually cooled down, and Liu Yan was wiped clean, like a freshly baked bun. Yi Mo put clothes on him, put everything in order, and then closed the door and walked into the inner room.
When they got to the couch , Yi Mo said to the little kid in the quilt, “Ji Jiu is doing very well too."
He spoke softly, as if he was only talking to himself and had nothing to do with Liu Yan.
Whatever he said was what it was, so Liu Yan naturally believed him, but he couldn’t change his mind for a while – because fools are stubborn. But after struggling in his heart, he finally gave in.
Liu Yan said: “Then you can call me Ji Jiu, and I will answer you."
Yi Mo chuckled and said, “Except for eating and sleeping, how can you compare with your previous two lives in this life ?"
Liu Yan was neither anxious nor annoyed, and replied to him calmly: “Then you like me too." His tone was sonorous.
Yi Mo was about to say “Who likes you", but suddenly realized that once he said this, the whole night would be in turmoil, so he shut up immediately and lay down with some annoyance and reluctance. As soon as the back of his head touched the pillow, Yi Mo immediately knew that he was the real fool because he was blocked by the fool’s words and couldn’t even refute.
Just as he was about to show something, Yi Mo suddenly pursed his lips and sat up from the couch . Liu Yan always fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and when he stood up, Liu Yan’s sleepiness slipped away a little.
Liu Yan sat up and asked, “What’s wrong?"
Yi Mo said, “Nothing, an old friend came to visit." As he was about to leave, Liu Yan pulled his sleeve, with a look of worry in his eyes. Even a fool would know that Yi Mo, who had never interacted with anyone in these years, was in trouble.
Seeing his expression, Yi Mo paused for a moment, then bent over, kissed Liu Yan on the face, said nothing, opened the door and left.
Xu Mingshi was standing outside the courtyard gate. Just as he reached the door and before he could reach out to knock on the door knocker, the wooden door opened silently.
Xu Mingshi was not surprised. He stepped into the courtyard and looked up to meet Yi Mo’s eyes, which were shining quietly in the night.
One of them is still as handsome and beautiful as ever, with his appearance unchanged; the other one has already turned gray in hair and has wrinkles all over his face.
It turns out we are old friends.
When old friends meet, they naturally speak directly to the point, without any complicated twists and turns. Mortal courtesy is not suitable for them. So when Yi Mo asked what was the matter, Xu Mingshi answered that he needed his help.
Yi Mo was silent for a moment and said, “I can’t leave."
“I have informed Shen Jue, and he will rush back tomorrow to take over your hand." Xu Mingshi said, “You are the only one who can do this."
Yi Mo nodded. In fact, he knew that this man came in a hurry, and it must be a big trouble. He was a demon who didn’t like trouble, but he was dragged into the world of mortals by Shen Qingxuan for thirteen years. After he left, he even helped the Shen family’s end, so how could he not help this little Taoist priest who often came to visit in the past thirteen years. Even Shen Jue, who had a deep hatred for him, couldn’t figure out what to do with this Taoist priest who often came to visit his home.
All mortals remember a one-time favor. Even though they are monsters, they also remember the thirteen years of friendship.
Looking back at the door that was closed a crack, Yi Mo said, “I’ll leave later, you wait." Then he went back to the room.
Liu Yan waited for him on the couch , but when he came, he didn’t know what to say. Although he was stupid, he was not without a sense of crisis. When an old friend came, he was afraid that Yi Mo would leave.
But Yi Mo really wanted to leave.
Yi Mo said: “Shen Jue will be back tomorrow, he will take care of you. I will be away for a month at the fastest and half a year at the slowest. You wait for me at home."
Liu Yan opened his eyes wide, staring at him stupidly, as if he didn’t understand.
Yi Mo asked again: “Did you hear it clearly?"
Liu Yan was stunned for a long while before he stammered , “But… I have never been apart from you." As he spoke, he didn’t know why, his heart ached and his eyes turned red.
——I have never been apart from you.
A fool shouldn’t care about anything. But Yi Mo also felt really sad.
To Liu Yan, they had never been apart. To him, they had been apart many times, and each time for a long time.
This time, it will only be half a year at most.
Yi Mo said: “What’s there to cry about? Just wait for me at home."
The fool looked at him for a long time before asking again: “Will you come back safely?"
Yi Mo twitched his lips and said, “Nothing can hurt me yet."
When he said this, Liu Yan was no longer worried. In his eyes, this man was omnipotent and nothing could hurt him. From this, it can be seen that although he is stupid, he has a pair of vicious eyes just like in his previous two lives .
It is precisely because he is stupid that he doesn’t know that the only people who can hurt Yi Mo are Yi Mo himself and him.
Yi Mo leaned over, kissed his forehead and said, “Be good at home, listen to Shen Jue, and wait for me to come back."
Liu Yan’s big eyes were filled with tears. Although he was reluctant, he did not make a fuss. He nodded and said, “I’ll be good and wait for you at home…"
I’ll wait for you at home.
couldn’t help but smile at this sentence , and then left.
Liu Yan hugged the quilt and, for the first time ever, did not fall asleep right away with his head resting on the pillow . Instead, he kept his eyes open, staring blankly at the door that had been closed again, without closing it all night.
Yi Mo left.
When Shen Jue arrived, he saw Liu Yan staring at the door with tears on his face. Sighing silently, Shen Jue knew that he had a heavy responsibility. If he missed even a hair, his father would kick him.
He walked over and coaxed and persuaded Liu Yan, who got down from the ground, but did not want his help. He put on his robe by himself, washed up, and sat at the table to eat quietly.
After dinner, I went back to bed. When I woke up at night, I simply washed up, had dinner again, and went back to bed.
The next day, everything was the same.
On the third night, Shen Jue boiled some hot water and carried the bathtub into the room. Liu Yan didn’t want his help. He closed the door and washed himself silently.
Without Yi Mo, he seemed to have grown up overnight. The fool who couldn’t even eat well in Shen Jue’s memory was now able to take care of himself well.
Except for the hair.
He always had trouble tying his hair. In the past, Yi Mo had done all these things. He could still learn how to wear robes by looking at them, but tying his hair was difficult for him. After several failed attempts, Liu Yan threw away the wooden comb, tore a piece of plain cloth from his inner robe , and tied himself up loosely.
During dinner, Shen Jue saw the plain cloth and said, “White is for mourning."
Liu Yan tore the cloth on the spot, even pulling out a strand of hair.
Shen Jue’s eyelids twitched, and he vaguely saw the ruthless shadow of his father in him. It had been a month, and Liu Yan hadn’t said a word, didn’t make a fuss, and just stayed quietly in the room.
When Shen Jue left the mountain, he knew that he had difficulty speaking, and he had never heard him utter a complete sentence fluently, so he didn’t take it to heart.
A month later, Shen Jue saw that he ate well and slept enough every day, but was slowly losing weight at a speed invisible to the naked eye, so he knew that this was not going to work.
No matter how Liu Yan resisted, he was taken down the mountain and went to the town at the foot of the mountain for fun.
Liu Yan refused to cooperate along the way. As long as Shen Jue wasn’t paying attention, he would turn around and run back, trying desperately to get back to the mountain – he promised Yi Mo that he would wait for him at home.
Shen Jue grabbed him several times, and finally thought for a while and said: “He is fine, but he won’t be back for a while. If you are unhappy and keep losing weight like this, he will be unhappy when he comes back."
In fact, it was not a big deal. It was just that some Taoist monks were too violent in subduing demons and monsters , and they killed all of them without distinguishing between good and bad. Finally, they angered the demons.
Demons and monsters have been inseparable since ancient times, but in fact they still have some gaps between them. This time they gathered together to seek revenge. The matter was of great importance, and Xu Mingshi was afraid that innocent mortals would also be slaughtered, so he invited Yi Mo to come, whether it was to reconcile or to kill. With Yi Mo’s skills, these small demons or demon-slaying Taoist priests who had not yet left their mortal bodies could not do anything to him.
Xu Mingshi knew his own strength. He could handle a few enemies in the human world, but if there were more, he would be dead. But Yi Mo was different. He was a demon who wanted to become an immortal. There was no rival for him on either side.
At his age, he has already seen through the rules of this world.
Only those with strong fists have the right to speak.
Liu Yan listened to his words and waited for a long time before nodding. He knew that he had lost a lot of weight recently and was no longer the little fat boy that Yi Mo mentioned in the bathtub.
Seeing that he agreed, Shen Jue quickly pulled him and took him to the prosperous places in the city. Liu Yan followed Yi Mo and went down the mountain, but because Yi Mo wanted to find that soul , even if he encountered a lively place, he would turn around and leave, and never took him to play. Now Liu Yan has opened his eyes and realized that there are so many fun things in the world, monkeys, drums, storytelling, operas, fire-breathing performances, and stone-breaking chests… His eyes moved around, and after a day, his eyeballs were tired and painful.
The next day, he got up at the inn, washed up and had breakfast . Shen Jue took him out to play again. When he was tired, he rested in the teahouse, drank tea and ate snacks. This went on day after day for two months. Although Liu Yan had not lost weight again, he had not gained weight again. After all, he still missed Yi Mo.
Once a person has concerns in his heart, even a fool will suffer the pain of lovesickness.
Liu Yan was lying on a strange bed at night, counting the days with his fingers. He had lived in the mountains for a month, and then went down to play for two months and seven days. He counted one finger at a time, but because his brain was not working, he counted many times. It was dawn when he finally figured out that Yi Mo had been gone for more than three months, a total of ninety-nine days. Yi Mo had not come back yet.
Hugging the quilt, Liu Yan couldn’t help wanting to cry again. He missed him, from the bottom of his heart.
On the 100th day, Liu Yan refused to play anymore and insisted on going back to the mountain. Shen Jue tried to persuade him several times but it was useless, so he gave up and stopped trying to persuade him. He knew that there were some things that persuasion was useless.
In the past few years when he was alone, Shen Jue would feel tired as he walked. He thought about how Yi Mo had been looking for him for so many years and didn’t know how he had managed to hold on. Shen Jue felt that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to hold on.
Compared to Shen Qingxuan’s Sansheng, Shen Jue is self-aware, and he is the spoiled child. He has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. First, Shen Qingxuan protected him. After Shen Qingxuan died, it was Yi Mo who protected him, and he has been protecting him until today .
There are almost no setbacks, and there is no spirit of hard work and perseverance.
Shen Jue admitted that he liked the emperor, but it was hard to say to what extent. At least Shen Jue knew that he didn’t like him enough to search for him lonely for hundreds of years.
When walking alone on the road, Shen Jue would miss home, very much. Perhaps it was because he suddenly lost his parents when he was a baby. Although he had no memory, he had a keen instinctive consciousness. So after being adopted by Shen Qingxuan, he was particularly homesick.
I miss my daddy and my father. I miss home.
However, the home had changed, and Shen Jue was afraid to go back. He was afraid to see the sad Yi Mo, and also afraid to see his father who was no longer with Fenghua.
Thinking quietly along the way, Shen Jue walked behind, but Liu Yan was in a hurry, so he walked in front of him. Although he was stupid , he remembered the way back to the mountain clearly after leaving the city gate, but he didn’t know the way at all in the city.
Just one mile out of the city gate, they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from afar, and someone was playing a particularly festive tune, which came into their ears through the air.
Liu Yan had been in the city for two months and had seen a lot of interesting things, but he had never heard such cheerful music. He immediately stopped and asked Shen Jue: “What is that?"
Shen Jue knew what it was as soon as he heard it, and replied: “Someone is getting married."
“Getting married?" Liu Yan asked in confusion: “What is that? Food or play?"
Shen Jue laughed and had to pull him forward, explaining to him what getting married was as they walked – it was a man and a woman, worshiping heaven and earth and their parents, and then returning home to live their lives.
Shen Jue explained the marriage process in detail, and then added his own comment: After marriage, the two people cannot be separated, they must always be together, grow old, die, and be buried in the same tomb.
While Liu Yan was listening, he was also staring at the wedding procession gradually approaching on the Loess Avenue.
The groom in the lead looked very honest, riding a tall horse, followed by a drum band, and then a big red sedan decorated with colorful hydrangeas.
Shen Jue said, “Let’s go, there’s nothing to see here." Then he ran away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Yan suddenly shook off his hand and rushed towards the sedan chair like a firecracker. His movements were so fast that he didn’t even look like a fool.
The wedding party was suddenly thrown into confusion. No one expected that such a person would suddenly appear halfway and rush straight to the bride’s sedan chair as if to steal the bride.
After Liu Yan got past the two sedan bearers and waved the curtain, the women on both sides finally reacted and tried to stop him while screaming in surprise.
But how could he stop Liu Yan at this moment.
Liu Yan saw the bride with her veil on her head sitting in the sedan chair, dressed in a bright red dress and dignified. She seemed to be frightened and dared not move.
Liu Yan pulled off her red veil.
At this time, some people had already reacted and were waving their drums and instruments to beat him. Shen Jue suddenly rushed over, grabbed Liu Yan’s shoulders, and carried him on his back, running like crazy.
In two or three seconds, it disappeared.
All that was left was the wedding procession that hadn’t reacted and the bride who had lost her veil.
Because Shen Jue ran so frantically, Liu Yan closed his eyes and only felt the whistling of the wind on both sides of his ears. Shen Jue carried him all the way back to the mountain.
When they got home and put Liu Yan down from his back, Shen Jue found that Liu Yan’s face had turned pale. Only then did he regret running too fast .
Looking to the side, Liu Yan was seen holding a red veil tightly in his hand. Because he was holding it so tightly, his fingers were all white.
Shen Jue looked at his face thoughtfully, then looked at the red veil in his hand. After several times, he understood.
Because I understood, I couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Shen Jue sighed: You are indeed my father.
Three lives and three worlds , I will never change my mind and I will never regret it.
The sunlight was clear. There was a wooden chair in the yard. Liu Yan was sitting on the chair, dozing with his eyes closed. He looked serene, and his outline appeared soft and beautiful in the golden light.
Yi Mo stepped into the courtyard, and when he saw him, he couldn’t help but pause for a moment .
It was as if he had instantly returned to more than two hundred years ago, to a small courtyard in the mountains, and he saw Shen Qingxuan sleeping in the sun.
As he walked forward step by step, Yi Mo could clearly hear his heart beating faster.
Liu Yan seemed to have sensed it as well, and opened his eyes in a daze . When he saw him, he was stunned.
For nearly half a year, he had been missing her day and night, and now this person appeared before him. When Liu Yan stood up, he pinched himself, and the pain woke him up.
Liu Yan took a step forward and pressed his chest against Yi Mo’s. Then he looked into his eyes and whispered, “Yi Mo, I want to marry you."
——Yi Mo, I want to marry you.
Three lives and three worlds , I will never regret my mistake and will never realize my mistake.
Seeing that Yi Mo did not respond, Liu Yan raised his voice slightly and repeated:
“I want to marry you."
