Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 109 Telling Stories To Her

A small mountain of pig bones was piled up next to the fire, and there was no meat left on the bones. All the meat had been eaten.

"Are you full now?" Ye Que asked, sitting next to her. He was really shocked now after watching Red Bean to eat the whole wild boar from the beginning, because the weight of this pig was about to catch up with two of her. So how could this whole wild boar be loaded with such a little belly?

Ye Que's expression was now full of curiosity.

"Half full, maybe." Looking at Ye Que, Red Bean said casually, "I will eat it later, now I have to consume the calories."

"Half full!"

After hearing the answer from Red Bean, Ye Que decided not to talk anymore. This little girl was too anomalous. How could she eat meat so fierce like a monster? If he could smell any Demonic Qi on Red Bean, Ye Que would really have some doubts that normal people would not have such a good appet.i.te.

This was already against the laws of the heaven and the earth.

However, the world was so big that anything strange would be possible. Ye Que could only attribute such a thing to his ignorant.

The snow outside the cave seemed to continue. When the snow fell between the mountains, there was a slight sound. If standing in the Mount Mei and looking at the Imperial Mausoleum in the ley lines of sovereignty, no one would have an idea of how many souls, secrets and past events were buried underneath the endless ice layer which was white, innocent, smooth and flat.

Ye Que found a handkerchief from the sachet in the Yin-and-Yang Pouch that he brought with him and went to the entrance of the cave. He melted some ice into water with his hands and wet the handkerchief, then he took it back to Red Bean. Ye Que pointed to her mouth with a finger.

Red Bean was puzzled and raised her eyebrows.

Ye Que made another gesture and then said, "Oil stain."

After listening to the explanation of Ye Que, Red Bean took the handkerchief and then wiped the corner of her mouth casually. The heavenly beautiful cheeks were pleasing to eyes even full of oil stains, and even made people feel a little cute.

After picking up the handkerchief handed back by Red Bean, Ye Que put it back in the sachet, and then there was no more talk. Of course, he did not stare at Red Bean either. When the little girl was in a coma, he didn't dare to look at her, let alone now. Red Bean didn't say anything about that, but he couldn't pretend to be there was nothing happened before. He really hugged the girl for a whole night.

Since Ye Que did not talk, Red Bean was less likely to speak either. In the Imperial Mausoleum of the ley lines of sovereignty, she said that she was not good at speaking but doing.

When Red Bean was in a coma, there was only one man and one woman in the cave. Ye Que did not feel anything inappropriate. Now Red Bean woke up. The cave was still the same cave. The snow was keeping falling. Nothing had changed. But Ye Que could not sit still anymore. If they just sat there without speaking, he would be bored to death.

"Is your body recovering well?" Finally, Ye Que couldn't stand the silence anymore, he spoke first. But even though he started the conversation, he felt the question was meaningless.

Red Bean shook her heads. "Not good?"

"How about your cultivation base? Has it recovered yet?" Ye Que continued to ask.

"No." Red Bean shook her head again. "Now my body has no difference with ordinary people."

"That means you can not start the journey?" Ye Que asked.

"This will be no problem. The problem is that the snow is too heavy and cold, my body can't bear it now. I will be frozen." Red Bean pointed outside the cave. "Maybe I will trouble you for some time. But I will refine the Dragon Bone inside my body as soon as possible."

Ye Que waved his hand, indicating that this was not a big problem and it was what he should do.

Seriously considered, Ye Que and Red Bean were simply met by chance that they did not know each other before, and she had only met him three times at most. Perhaps this was the fate. In the dark wasteland, Ye Que fell into the arms of Red Bean. If it was another person, he would definitely be dead. But somehow Red Bean just didn't want to kill him, and even protected him all the way into the River Soldier Palace in the underground cave.

And before Red Bean absorbed the Dragon Bone, she also entrusted herself to Ye Que. At that time, she did not consider whether he had the ability to protect her. Although the result was satisfactory, the process was extremely thrilling.

If there was something happened beyond expectation, they would be dead without a burial.

Both of them would be dead.

The decisions made by the two people depending simply on their feelings. They had never thought of the result, but put their lives into the hands of each other.

"You are special."

"Not the same as other 'people'."

This time it was Red Bean who broke the silence. When she said this, her expression and tone were very calm and serious, as if describing a very important thing.

"You are also very special."

"I have seen many people. You are not the same as them."

Ye Que smiled at Red Bean and waved his hand. He seemed to mean that he was very ordinary, but Red Bean was very special.

"If you mean a person, then I'm definitely different from them." Red Bean looked at the flame in front of her with her clear eyes. She did not speak out, but just said quietly in her mind.

"Can you tell me your stories?" Red Bean looked at Ye Que and said curiously. Then she added, "In any case, we can only stay in this cave now, and we can't go anywhere."

"Me?"

Ye Que pointed to himself. Red Bean nodded.

It was still snowing, and the clouds above the sky were so thick that it seemed to be crushed by its weight. It was difficult to make the snow smaller, let alone make it stop. Looking out from the cave, the heaven and the earth were all white and gray. But at this time, Ye Que thought, "Just keep snowing, as long as it wants." He used to think that only the practice was the most comfortable and relaxing thing of the world. But until today, he just found that he was really a frog at the bottom of the well.

It turned out that a simple chat could also be very wonderful, relaxed and joyful in mind.

He looked at Red Bean who was sitting on his opposite side, not far from him.

At this time, the cold of Red Bean which appeared at the Imperial Mausoleum in the ley lines of sovereignty had totally gone. The long legs were crossed while she was sitting on the ground. Her two hands were holding her cheeks. Her eyelids were not stained at all, and as clean as the autumn stars. Her two eyelashes were long and curved, sometimes blinked lightly. The whole person was felt like a child who was listening to a teacher's story.

Looking at her eyes, Ye Que didn't think anything and immediately began to tell his own stories. "I lived in Yejiaxiang, He Village, Wei City when I was young. My mother was Tang Wanru. In my memory, she was a very beautiful woman. She was also very great that in order to raise me up, she was not afraid of hards.h.i.+p, not afraid..."

Ye Que slowly began to tell his life, from childhood, his mother, Wei City to Luoyang City, Qian Shuxiao, flower-viewing drinking banquet and entrance of the Imperial Mausoleum in the ley lines of sovereignty. Whether the things were important or not, he told her whatever he could remember. He even told her that he had heard an interesting storytelling in a tea house.

The cave was very quiet. Since there were only two people and a bunch of fire, no one would bother them.

In the process of Ye Que's speech, Red Bean did not interject but listen quietly. She was very serious and careful, as if she was painting a whole Ye Que in her heart who even equipped with blood and flesh.

This was the first time she listened to the stories about 'human' actually.

She heard a lot of novelty things. It turned out that there were a lot of delicious foods in Luoyang City, and there were beautiful rouges in Hibiscus Shop. The Huaxi Opera House was a place to listen to operas where there were artists acting operas. People dated in the Wutong Wood under the Magpie Bridge. And the big elm in front of the academy was very helpful if you made a wish to it. Good-looking clothes should be tailor-made; good-looking swords might not able to kill anyone; illegitimate children were not welcomed; the emperor's children were destined to survive only one. Someone like her would be called a chivalrous lady, however, Ye Que was almost driven out the first time he entered Luoyang City.

Ye Que's voice was low and very magnetic. If listening to him carefully, you would find his voice was more mature than his age. But when Red Bean heard him, the voice fell in her heart, and she thought it was the most beautiful voice. The voice was good, the story was interesting, and each sentence seemed to be lovely.

She looked at the Ye Que through the fire which was swaying with a golden rim.

"He is really lovely!"

Red Beam thought about it and was a little angry. She was angry at those old men in her family for they had totally cheated her, because she was just a child. "Humans are all ugly? Their voices are unpleasant? Every word of humans is cheating? They are the second evil existence among the living creatures?"

"It's not like this at all!" Red Bean thought angrily and decided to debate with those old men after she went back. "Have you really been to the Human World? Have you really walked in the Human World? You are so old, why your knowledge seems to be less than Ye Que?"

Time flew quietly in the stories of Ye Que, and the sky lighted up and then darkened.

"Goo!"

"Goo!"

Red Bean's stomach suddenly growled twice, and the little girl's face was slightly reddish for the first time. She didn't know it before. But when she just heard Ye Que's stories, she could clearly remember that if a girl made a strange sound in front of a boy, it was a shameful thing. What would they say about the girl? Yes, unrestrained!

She lowered her head and covered her stomach. It seemed that she wanted to take back the sound.

"Goo-Goo!"

However, before her hands had left, her stomach had once again growled. This time it seemed to be louder than just now, and could be clearly heard in this narrow cave!

For the first time, Red Bean felt that she was disappointed because she could not even control her hunger.

"Isn't it just hungry? Can't you wait a little longer? Can you hold on? Don't you feel shame?" Red Bean lowered her head and pinched her stomach, and then she murmured something.

Ye Que heard her talking, but the p.r.o.nunciation of the sentence was the first time for him to hear. They were strange syllables, for he had never heard of them.

"Then I should go out for some time, let's continue after I return?" Ye Que heard the growling of the Red Bean's belly. Then he looked outside the cave, the sky was already dark. He just told a few stories. How could time go faster than the practice!

It was a long night, and was snowing outside. It was indeed a good time for a night talk.

For the first time, Ye Que hoped that the time could pa.s.s slower, the snowy day could be a little longer, and the two people could stay together for a longer time.
