Chapter 624: Heart to Heart, Soul to Soul
Women have only been free for a few decades.
In ancient times, women were not allowed to appear in public, let alone join the army and fight.
But Cheng Ling, in such a feudal and backward era, took up arms and became a female general who killed everyone - what kind of criticism did she encounter? How did she gather the scattered people and successfully persuade them to take up arms and resist the invasion? Is there anyone unconvinced and deliberately making things difficult for her?
The moonlight was like water, covering the two of them.
They walked around the manor without stopping.
Unconsciously, the food in Jiang Qilan's stomach was almost digested.
But he did not interrupt Cheng Ling.
It is difficult to talk about such a topic, but once you start talking, it is not easy to stop.
Cheng Ling poured out her words quickly. She had wanted to do this for a long time. It's long overdue.
[Then...the war was won. I also fell asleep one night and never woke up due to years of internal injuries. A local psychic blind man told the villagers that I had committed a heavy crime of killing and was not blessed to enter the realm of reincarnation, and that my soul would completely perish. The villagers expressed their gratitude to me and built a temple for me, which is the Huling Temple where my grandfather lived in seclusion - begging God not to let me lose my soul. The soldiers who once followed me voluntarily became monks and guarded the temple for generations]
Jiang Qilan did not interrupt her, but led her towards the house.
【……. Now, they are also free. I am very grateful to them and wanted to express my gratitude in person, but I never had the chance again... I have always felt very sorry. I hope they will be happy in the next life and live a complete life without worries. 】
The two went upstairs, and it wasn't until they reached the bedroom door that Cheng Ling suddenly came back to his senses.
[Sorry...I was too involved. 】Cheng Ling finally wrote.
Jiang Qilan opened the door and wrote on her palm:
Jiang Qilan wrote on the palm of her hand: "I still have many questions. Let's wash up first, and then I'll ask you after turning off the lights." 】
Cheng Ling brushed his teeth and looked at himself in the mirror.
Jiang Qilan was changing into pajamas outside.
——Telling this past incident to Jiang Qilan is completely different from telling it to his family.
At this moment, she felt a sense of relief as the stone blocking her chest slowly subsided.
After the two of them finished washing, they turned off the lights and covered themselves with quilts.
Jiang Qilan put his left hand around her shoulders and wrote on her belly with his right hand: "Are I very similar to him?" 】
【Exceptionally similar. However, he is thinner and darker. 】Cheng Ling wrote honestly.
[I want to hear about the past between you and him...For example, what knowledge did he teach you, was he good to you...and what kind of person is he? 】
[He... is a trustworthy person. The soldiers said that he was unsmiling and stern, but he was very kind to me... In the past, I was very clumsy and even the female workers couldn't cook... He picked up the rice shovel himself and learned to cook without any teacher. , picked up the needle and thread, and sewed clothes by myself...]
[He is like a treasure chest hidden on his body. He always has a lot of novel gadgets and always prepares snacks...] Cheng Ling paused and said, [The amazing thing is that you also like to prepare food for me. 】
Jiang Qilan couldn't tell what he was feeling. Are you jealous?
Maybe a little.
But I feel more sorry for Cheng Ling.
After experiencing so much pain, Cheng Ling was still able to maintain such a beautiful heart without turning into a dark person - he understood why the people were willing to build a temple for her and the soldiers were willing to protect her for hundreds of years.
"Unfortunately, I don't remember any of these things," Jiang Qilan wrote, "But I'm very happy. I used to be very good to you." In the future, I will work harder and strive to do better than before. 】
Cheng Ling was silent.
After a long time, she gently wrote on his chest: [Thank you, Brother Lan. It's great to meet you again. 】
After writing, she raised her head, accurately found his lips in the darkness, and kissed them tenderly.
God is favoring her.
In such a lonely life growing up, it is so lucky to have a soul mate. No matter what difficulties and obstacles she encounters in the future, she will not be afraid.
Even if they get together less and apart more often in the future, she will have no regrets.
She was content when he was there.
There is no need to spend countless long nights alone grieving and waiting for a dead soul that is impossible to return.
He is here.
Their hearts are in harmony and their souls resonate.
