"Girl, would you like to ask if this road leads to the city?"

A white-faced scholar walked over and saw Wen Yue'er chopping firewood on the mountain behind the temple, and asked gently.

He also stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and smiled shyly at Wen Yue'er.

Wen Yue'er was already in a daze, but after being called by someone, she looked over. Her first impression was that the scholar was so handsome. Then she smiled bitterly, how could she become the first thing she could pay attention to the appearance of a man?

Seeing Wen Yue'er's face, the scholar was stunned. The woman was so beautiful but doing such rough work here, and she felt pity.

But the pity in his eyes was clearly seen by Wen Yue'er, and it was caught off guard, which touched her heart.

How long has it been since I saw a man looking at her with this kind of gaze?

Even though the man who was making friends outside at that time looked at her with desire, he was not as pure as this scholar.

"Yes, you follow this path, but be careful, the road is difficult to walk, there are many thorns on the road, don't tie your clothes and yourself."

Out of kindness, Wen Yue'er reminded.

"Okay, thank you for your kind reminder." Seeing Wen Yue'er wearing nun's clothes, black hair was exposed under the hat, she couldn't help asking:

"Does the girl practice with her hair?"

Wen Yue'er nodded: "Yes..."

The scholar was a little confused. Judging from the temperament of this girl, she was not an ordinary woman. How could a woman from a wealthy family suffer from a place like this?

I always feel that she has many stories.

It aroused his strong curiosity.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Wen Yue'er didn't take the initiative to speak. Instead, she struggled to lift the axe and chop wood, intending to ignore it.

Seeing her clumsy and struggling look, the scholar felt even more and more unbearable.

After walking over a few steps, he said:

"In order to thank the girl for her guidance, I will help you chop the firewood in return."

These firewood are very large, and Wen Yue'er must be split into small pieces before she can move them into the temple. She only has this strength.

She was stunned for a moment, looked up and met the scholar's eyes. The eyes were full of pity and an unknown heartache, which made her heart stung.

"This is not very good, I can do it myself." She pursed her lips and refused.

"I have never been able to see women doing such hard work, especially a delicate woman like you. If I don't help you, I will feel uneasy and will not be able to go well if I don't feel sorry for you." The scholar was quite persistent.

To be honest, Wen Yue'er is very close to the scholar's eyes. When she saw her at first sight, the scholar felt a different feeling.

It's something that I don't see any other woman.

So much so proactive.

He also snatched the axe from Wen Yue'er, put down his luggage, and started working.

Wen Yue'er didn't expect that the seemingly weak scholar was quite strong, and she gave her an inexplicable sense of security in such a forest.

She couldn't help but smile faintly. The haze that had been swept away for many days at this moment, as if a beam of light came in.

"Miss, seeing your temperament, you should be a person in the middle of Beijing."

The scholar was not exhausted and panting, but instead talked to Wen Yue'er without blushing.

Wen Yue'er whispered, and the scholar said:

"How is the capital now? Is it more prosperous? I came here once for the exam, but it has been a few years."

Wen Yue'er asked in confusion:

"It's not time to take the exam now, you are..."

"Oh..." The scholar smiled and said:

"Since I failed the last time, I decided not to pursue fame and fortune. I traveled all over the world to see famous mountains and rivers. This time I was heading north of the capital, but a friend happened to invite me to visit, so I agreed. I should have walked on the official road, but I thought that if I went to the capital, I would have to wait a few days before I could find a small road to save time."

"It's also a fate. If you don't walk the path, you won't meet you, a girl."

After saying that, he glanced at Wen Yue'er quietly. Wen Yue'er was the kind of beautiful woman. Naturally, people wanted to see it again and again.

It is normal for scholars to take a look at each other.

The scholar looked very open-minded and told his own affairs without any obstruction.

Wen Yue'er didn't expect that the scholar was so honest, and she was a little unable to tell the truth about his words.

If it were true, this scholar would be too casual. Racing a horse to the world is also a life like her that a woman who is raising her in the boudoir could not imagine.

"In fact, the capital city has not changed much." Wen Yue'er said at last.

"Isn't it big? Under the feet of the emperor..." He smiled.

The two of them started talking one by one, starting with the capital city, and then talking about individuals.

The chat was very close, which made the scholar not only sigh:

"I have been walking in so many places and think I have met a confidant. Now I know that only girls deserve the word "confidant"!"

It feels so good to talk to her, like a friend who has been reunited after a long time. Her every move, every word and action is very consistent with his requirements for women.

Perfect.

Wen Yue'er was a little shy. Seeing his sincere praise, joy flashed through her heart. It was not easy for her to meet someone who truly appreciated her in her situation.

After that, the scholar couldn't help but start inquiring about Wen Yue'er's situation, which made Wen Yue'er a little troubled and didn't know what to say.

As long as you are not a fool, you know that you can't tell the truth, but it doesn't seem interesting to make up and deceive him.

She consciously chose some that could be answered and avoided those that could not be answered. The scholar knew her taboos and no longer mentioned her affairs. Instead, she began to tell Wen Yue'er about some worldly scenes.

Wen Yue'er, who has been in the boudoir for many years, really doesn't know that there are many unique scenes in nature. She listened to the scholar's words vividly, which made her eyes shine.

The two of them had a great time talking, until it was getting dark, and a nun saw that Wen Yue'er had not returned for a long time and called her when she came out to look for her. Wen Yue'er looked at the scholar nervously. Before she could speak, the scholar understood what she meant.

He said:

"Are you still chopping firewood here tomorrow?"

"I'll continue to help you."

Without waiting for Wen Yue'er to answer, he made a decision. Then, listening to the footsteps of someone stepping on thick leaves in the forest, he put down his axe, picked up his luggage and disappeared in front of Wen Yue'er.

Wen Yue'er didn't even understand how he disappeared, and the scholar's words echoed in her mind.

Will he really come tomorrow as scheduled?

Wen Yue'er had to admit that she was moved in just one afternoon. The feeling of being moved was tens of times stronger than the feeling of being moved by Xu Xiuyuan at the time.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath. Even if I could never see him again, this kind of beauty had happened, right?

Wen Yue'er also had insomnia when she was sleeping at night. Her mind was echoed with the words of the scholar and her figure. She tossed and turned and was worried that he would break his promise...
