Chapter 148 Mutual Keeping Promises
The fate between people is so wonderful that no one knows when the fruits planted in the past will bloom into dazzling flowers.
For a while, Wen Wan lowered her head and ate the candied fruit in silence.
The sweet taste spread across the tip of the tongue, but in an instant, only bitterness was left.
Wen Wan thought of the small stone Wen En threw at her before leaving.
She took it out and looked through it by the firelight, and found a few small words carved on the bottom of the small stone.
"Peace and joy"
These four simple words are like the sincere blessings given to the younger generation during the Chinese New Year, but they contain the best wishes.
Wen Wan's nose was sore and she felt like crying.
So, when he held this small stone under the Demonic Fall Tree, was he making such a wish for her?
"Achai," she called softly.
Shen Yu turned around and looked.
Wen Wan handed over the small stone and said, "Can you bring it for me?"
Shen Yu's eyes fell on the pebble and he said, "Okay."
The thumb-sized stone was tied with a black braided string and hung around Wen Wan's neck. It was not as gorgeous as gold and silver jewelry, but it made Wen Wan's small stone extremely beautiful.
Shen Yu rarely said anything sour, and just took a sip of goat's milk wine in silence.
It was a cold night, and Shen Yu and Agui took turns guarding the bonfire.
Wen Wan slept in a simple tent nearby, and the crackling sound of burning firewood was occasionally mixed with her long breathing.
Shen Yu was taking a nap with his back against a stone. Agui came to him and switched defenses with him.
"General," Agui lowered his voice and stopped talking.
Shen Yu opened his eyes and saw that he seemed to have something to say. He glanced in the direction of Wen Wan's tent and said, "Go on, she is asleep."
Agui sat down next to him and said, "Wen En has something to say, let me bring it to you."
Shen Yu nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Agui: "He said that he kept his promise and did not tell Miss Xiaowan your identity as the general. Please also keep your promise and never tell Miss Xiaowan what happened back then."
Hearing this, Shen Yu lowered his eyes and whispered, "I know."
Agui didn't know what the riddle was going on between Shen Yu and Wen En, but he didn't ask much. If even Miss Xiaowan wasn't suitable to know, then he didn't need to know.
After saying that, Shen Yu asked Agui to rest, and he continued to keep vigil.
The firelight jumped, reflecting on his angular face, showing a slight coldness.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
In fact, there was no need for Wen En to remind him, and he would not tell Wen Wan what happened at that time.
Some things should be buried deep forever and never see the light of day.

As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Wen Wan and the other three finally return to the border town after a long journey.
However, more than a month later, when they returned to the border town, the three of them felt as if they were in another world. Even the lightning-struck stone bricks on the city tower looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Granny Li was busy in the kitchen, and Old Man Hu was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard. When he heard footsteps outside the yard, he thought it was the children who went to school coming back.
"Knowing that today is a holiday, maybe the masters let the children go home early to eat rice dumplings."
Granny Li was talking to Uncle Hu through the window.
"Oh, it's a pity that Miss Xiaowan's whereabouts are still unknown. I even made her favorite sweet rice dumplings. I'm afraid she won't be able to eat this year's rice dumplings..."
"I'm back!"
Wen Wan walked into the yard and smiled happily at the two old people, "Fortunately, I caught up. I must go in vertically and go out horizontally tonight!"
When Shen Yu who was following him heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He followed her in two steps and covered her mouth, "Don't say these unlucky words, it's a big holiday."
Wen Wan showed a pair of wide eyes and tried hard to open his hand, "It's unlucky. I'm so full that I won't let you carry me out."
Shen Yu: "..."
This girl's thinking is indeed different from ordinary people.
Agui greeted the two old people and went next door to clean up and settle down.
In the evening, the sisters-in-law who went to work in the shop and the children in the school all came back. Shen Yu sent people to the side courtyard to pick up the mute woman and others to celebrate the festival together.
People of all ages gathered in the courtyard and set up three tables.
Everyone was happy for Wen Wan and Agui, especially the old people, who couldn't help but feel sentimental. Wen Wan saw them secretly wiping their tears several times.
Children who have not had much life experience and cannot yet understand the separation of life and death are purely happy that their sister Xiaowan can come back.
The group of people had delicious food and drinks. After a few drinks, Wen Wan started to drink like crazy. She cried and laughed at other times, which almost made Shen Yu unable to resist.

She held the jug and handed it to Shen Yu's lips, "Brother, my sister is rich. If you drink this jug of wine, my sister will reward you with gold! It's true~"
Shen Yu's temples jumped suddenly, and his face turned green and white. He picked her up and carried her back to the house.
After closing the door, Shen Yu raised his hand and pinched her cheek.
"Tell me! Where did you learn these debauched words? A girl's words are so loose, what kind of words..."
Before he could finish his words, he was bitten by the "dog".
Wen Wan didn't tolerate him, so she kissed him directly without giving him any room to express himself.
After the kiss, she touched her mouth and said with blurred eyes: "You open your mouth, do you think that because your mouth looks good, my sister can't do anything to you? My dear, my sister has many ways to deal with you."
< br>
Shen Yu: "..."
After eating everything, you still want to throw the blame to him?
Little fox, you really don’t suffer at all.
"Heh," he chuckled and followed her words, "What tricks do you have, let me see what you can do?"
Wen Wan's figure swayed, Shen Yu raised his hand to catch her, and hugged her waist.
She shook the wine bottle in her hand, leaned closer and whispered: "I'll tell you in a low voice, but you are not allowed to tell others."
A flash of light flashed in Shen Yu's eyes and he responded: "Okay."
Wen Wan secretly looked around, then breathed out softly and said in his ear: "First pour the little brother down with wine, then take off his clothes, and then... hahahaha, you know..."
When Shen Yu heard this, his expression froze.
He smiled gloomily, "Oh, you really have some tricks. It seems that there are quite a few little brothers who have been persuaded by you?"
"Nonsense!" Wen Wan was very drunk, and she still knew how to defend her innocence, "I only have one brother I like, and I only pay attention to him. Hey, why do you look exactly like the brother I like?" < br>
"The little brother you like?" When Shen Yu heard this, he couldn't hold back his lips.
He reluctantly accepted the jug, "Little fox, you are always good at coaxing people with sweet words. Since you are quite honest, I will give you this face."
He raised his head and took a sip of the wine. The pure aroma of the wine made him feel happy.
Wen Wan narrowed her eyes and smiled brightly. Due to the drunkenness, her speech began to be slurred.
"Okay! Okay! My little brother is drunk, so I have to move faster. I will eat it all before he wakes up. When he wakes up tomorrow, I will lift up my pants and refuse to admit it!" ”
Shen Yu: "???"
