Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 220 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (10)

Perhaps Jiang Qiucheng had behaved very calmly during this period, or perhaps it was because the wedding was approaching and many things needed to be handled by the high priest himself.

She skipped the step of meeting every five days and only told Ah Su to report to her if anything happened. This move undoubtedly facilitated Jiang Qiucheng's little moves.

Looking at Ah Su's face, which was similar to his own age, Jiang Qiucheng had thoughts of instigating rebellion, but he couldn't show his thoughts too clearly.

"Asu, I remember that you were not originally from our village. When did you follow the high priest to our village?"

During their usual free time, Jiang Qiucheng and Ah Su sat side by side under the tree and chatted about this topic casually.

After hearing Jiang Qiucheng's question, Ah Su raised his head slightly, stared at the swaying treetops, and fell into his own memories.

"At that time, there was a natural disaster in my hometown. There was a huge flood. Almost everyone in the village drowned. It was the high priest who happened to pass by and saved me, so I was spared my life."

"She saw that I was still young, had no relatives to control me, and had nowhere to stay, so she brought me back."

"Of course I will repay the favor of saving my life with all my strength. As a child, I have no other abilities, so naturally I can only follow the high priest and do some small things within my ability."

"Fortunately, no one thinks I am a burden, so I have stayed in Shibi Village for so many years."

After this period of getting along, the relationship between the two has become much closer than before.

Ah Su also took off his disguise, no longer had such a straight face, and spoke in an old-fashioned manner.

It's just that she has always kept in mind the task assigned to her by the high priest. She needs to take good care of Jiang Qiucheng and not let anything happen to the bride of the mountain god.

So she never said anything more. Maybe today's topic brought back memories in her heart, so she rarely said a few more words.

Hearing this, Jiang Qiucheng's face flashed with sympathy. This Ah Su was also a miserable person.

"Then have you ever thought about leaving here?"

Jiang Qiucheng asked this question coldly, which shocked Ah Su.

"You! What did you say?!"

Seeing Ah Su's fuss, Jiang Qiucheng was a little surprised, but he patiently repeated the question he just asked.

"I mean, have you ever thought about leaving here and leaving Shibi Village?"

"As you know, Shibi Village is backed by Lingshan Mountain and is located halfway up the mountain. Although there is no lack of food and clothing, it is still very different from the bustling world outside."

"You are still so young, are you going to stay in Shibi Village your whole life?"

Hearing this question again, Ah Su's mood became much calmer, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

"I...I never thought about this. If the high priest hadn't saved me, I would have died, let alone grow up so safely."

"It is necessary to work for the high priest. Without her permission, I will naturally stay in Shibi Village and cannot leave."

Ah Su's answer was within Jiang Qiucheng's expectation. After she sighed helplessly, she followed the lead.

"Why did you say the high priest saved you in the first place?"

"Is it because I can't bear to see a human life die in front of me, so I save it out of goodwill, or is it a deliberate act to let you repay my kindness in the future?"

Although the high priest was usually stern, she still took serious care of these rescued people. In Ah Su's heart, she had already regarded the high priest as a relative worthy of respect. Since they were relatives, they were unwilling to admit that they were taking advantage of each other.

Ah Su's expression became a little more serious, and his words were more solemn than ever before.

"The high priest is kind-hearted. He saved me in the first place, naturally because he couldn't bear to face the death of his life, not because he wanted to repay my kindness."

"At that time, I was just a child from a poor family. What return could I bring to her?"

"Not to mention that when I came to Shibi Village, I also found that many elderly people were brought back by the high priest and died a good death."

"In the heart of the high priest, everything in the world has aura, and everything depends on fate. Since we people can be met by her, it is a fate, and naturally we cannot abandon it."

Seeing Ah Su's serious look, Jiang Qiucheng suddenly had a different view of the high priest. There are no completely good and bad people in this world.

To her now, the high priest is the executor of foolish rituals and someone who disregards her life. But to the villagers of Shibi Village and those rescued by the high priest, she is just a person who looks stern but is actually kind-hearted. old lady.

It is true that the public is right when talking about public affairs, and the mother-in-law is right when talking about mother-in-law. Their respective positions are different, and their perspectives on the problem will naturally be different.

"Well, since you have said that the high priest is a kind-hearted person and saves you out of intolerance, will such a person covet your rewards and lock you away for the rest of your life?"

Following Jiang Qiucheng's train of thought, Ah Su shook his head blankly and said no.

"Then you feel very bored in Shibi Village, and have you ever experienced the outside world?"

"Want to go shopping in a busy market, make friends of the same age, and have someone who knows how to live with you for the rest of your life, so that you can live a happy life?"

Jiang Qiucheng pulled her further and further, but Ah Su still nodded unconsciously. It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he lightly punched her shoulder in annoyance, his face red with embarrassment, completely different from the old-fashioned look of the past.

"You! You deceived me!"

Jiang Qiucheng smiled unconsciously when he saw Ah Su's lively appearance, and then continued.

"Hey, what do you mean by deceiving you? I just used my mouth to express your true feelings."

"To be serious, I have done good things and done good things."

Although he didn't say it himself, what Jiang Qiucheng said was indeed what he was thinking. Ah Su smiled sheepishly and lowered his head.

In the past, she really only dared to think these words in her heart and never dared to say them.

She had nowhere to say it, and no one said it. Besides herself, who else cared?
But I didn't expect that it would come out of Jiang Qiucheng's mouth today.

But so what if you think so? After all, she could only stay here. No one forced her, she was the one competing with herself.

Suddenly, Jiang Qiucheng, who was sitting next to Ah Su, sighed deeply. Hearing the sigh, Ah Su looked over in confusion.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sighing?"

Jiang Qiucheng lowered his body, put his hands behind his head, lay flat on the grass, and said helplessly.

"I envy you."

Ah Su pointed his hand at himself blankly and said in confusion.

"Envy me? What do I have to envy? You are a wild child without a father and a mother, but you are a saint after all."
