Chapter 1281 - Completely Recovered (1/2)
Up the mountain, Ma Zhi Wu was leaning against the fence of the Grand Elder's herb garden, watching Nian Hong Fang busy about. More than a thousand years had gone by since he had been rescued from the Chun Feng Sect's dungeon and pulled back from the brink of death by Jinde. Even though he had still dealt badly with things at the beginning, it was different by now.
He had recovered most of his strength and even though his future prospects were limited now, he was satisfied. He had his life back. More than that, he had not only managed to see Nian Hong Fang again as he had wished for, but he was even able to live at his side. What more could he wish for? After all, this was already much more than he had been able to hope for in the years that he had been imprisoned.
Nian Hong Fang glanced up, smiling sweetly. ”Ah Wu, you know you don't have to watch all the time. You can just go inside. I'm sure there are things you need to deal with.”
Ma Zhi Wu shook his head though. ”No, I'm good here. I just … like watching you.”
This was what he had always thought of in those long days in the darkness: A time where he would be able to stand at the side of a herb field, watching his love crouched down beside the uniform rows of plants, pulling out weeds, watering the herbs, tending to the earth, and finally filling that little basket he brought along when one of the herbs had ripened.
It was an incredibly familiar sight, one he would never forget. When they had met in the demonic sect back then, this was how he had gotten to know him. And even though it had been for his mission at first, this was still what finally made him fall. And seeing the same things over at the Yun Zou Sect as well, knowing that they were actually standing on the same side had just comforted him so much. It was something that he would always associate with his lover. ”Are you going through the whole field today?”
Nian Hong Fang shook his head. ”No, I'll just finish this row.” To be honest, he would actually finish the whole field if it was just him. But despite a millennium going by, he just couldn't help himself and still worried about Ma Zhi Wu. He just didn't want to take any chances. It was important to make sure that he didn't strain himself too much. So one row it was.
He smiled to himself, and then finished up, dusting off his hands and taking the basket with the leaves that he had just picked, hanging it over his arm,f and then leaving the field.
Ma Zhi Wu had already come to the entrance and leaned down to give him a peck on the lips. ”Ready?”
”Yes, let's bring this away.”
Just when they wanted to leave, Nian Hong Fang spotted the two people coming up the mountain. ”Ah, that might be some official business. How about you bring this inside already so Master can use it and then wait for me in our room?” He kissed his lover on the lips again and unceremoniously handed him the basket. He didn't know why somebody was coming up but if it was something that took a little longer, he definitely wouldn't leave Ma Zhi Wu standing at the side.
