"Little Swallow, you can't fly. Run slower and be careful of falling!"
After Qingyun avoided the iron pillar, he smiled and greeted him.
"My surname is Yan, hehe, brother Xiaoyun, why are you so stunned here? I saw you standing at the door of grandpa's house for a long time and didn't go in, so I thought you were possessed by evil spirits!"
The innocent girl named Yan Nanzhi smiled playfully, and like a magic trick, she took out a hawthorn fruit from her arms and handed it to Qingyun.
"Here, brother Xiaoyun will give you one. You are too thin and you should eat more! You don't even know if you are as heavy as me!"
Looking at the hawthorn handed over by Nanzhi, Qingyun did not reach out, but shook his head gently, as if warming the heart like the winter sunshine, and said:
"Yes, yes, our sister Nanzhi seems to have grown taller again, almost taller than me!"
"You're just one year older than me, brother Xiaoyun, call me Nanzhi! Take it quickly, it's just washed!"
Yan Nanzhi said and forced the hawthorn fruit to Qingyun.
"This is your favorite food, so I won't eat it. I just had breakfast before going down the mountain and I'm not hungry yet!"
Qingyun wanted to avoid Nanzhi, but Nanzhi was actually much faster than him. He was not as fast as his fourteen or fifteen-year-old daughter. Unexpectedly, he did not avoid it, but Yan Nanzhi seemed to be showing off:
"I'll give it to you, otherwise Tiezhu and the others will see it later and they'll fight for it!"
Immediately, the girl blinked her big and smart eyes, looked straight at the handsome young man full of bookish atmosphere, and asked with a smile:
"Today is the end of the month. Grandpa is going to test everyone's homework. You haven't been here for several months. Do you want to come in and let me help you review your homework?"
"No, no, no, dad has already tested me at home. Thank you sister Nanzhi for your kindness. He also said that his level is not as high as Grandpa Liangshan, so he asked me to learn more from him!"
Qingyun smiled noncommittally and turned his head to look into the room. At this time, a kind and kind voice came from the room. As if it had settled in time, the sound easily penetrated the ajar wooden door. It was not loud, but the sound was heard.
"Mr. Yi, I'm so honored. I don't deserve it! You two should come in quickly. It's late autumn, especially Qingyun. You are weak, so don't freeze your body."
"Thank you, Grandpa Liangshan, for your concern. The students will come in now!"
As Qingyun spoke, he clasped his fists and bowed to the void. After getting up, he walked into the house alone. At this time, Yan Nanzhi suddenly took Qingyun's slightly cold hand and followed him in.
Qingyun was startled by this sudden nephrite-like feeling. He had never held the hand of another woman except his mother, and the feeling Yan Nanzhi gave him was very different from his mother's.
He didn't know whether he should refuse, because Grandpa Liangshan had taught them young men that men and women should not be intimate with each other, and since he was a child, he had regarded Yan Nanzhi, a cute and cute girl, as his sister, and he entered the house in confusion amid this conflict.
"Qingyun would like to say hello to Teacher Liangshan, and my father also asked me to say hello to you on his behalf!"
At this time, Qingyun took advantage of the gap in talking to break free of the small hand that was holding him without leaving a trace, and once again cupped his fists and saluted.
The room was neatly filled with low tables, and two futons were placed under each table. Apparently this is the place where an old man named Liangshan teaches these young people in the village, and he is sitting in front of the hall with a big smile.
It cannot be said that he has a childlike appearance. The old man should at least look much younger than his voice. However, his frosty beard has almost reached his chest, adding years of hardening and weight to him, giving him a sense of security.
The old man from Liangshan looked at the pair of beauties in front of him with bright eyes, seeming to be smiling, but also looking sad. In Qingyun's unclear eyes, the old man said with a slight smile:
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yi. How is his... health lately?"
He paused for a moment when he spoke, as if he thought he had said something wrong and changed his words. Qingyun replied in a deep voice:
"My father is fine, but he has been away from home for several days. The student is wondering if his father has come down the mountain recently."
"Oh? Mr. Yi probably hasn't come down the mountain, at least I haven't seen him recently. Mr. Yi probably has his own opinions, so children shouldn't make wild guesses."
The old man from Liangshan said calmly, and his kind words quickly soothed Qingyun's nervous heart.
"Yes, please keep this in mind, students."
Qingyun said seriously. At this time, Yan Nanzhi suddenly said coquettishly:
"Grandpa, don't always put on a showy face. Brother Xiaoyun hasn't been here for a long time. Uncle Yi must have something going on at home, so you can't say anything else!"
As he spoke, Yan Nanzhi ran to the old man Liangshan again, grabbed his arm and shook him around, making him pretend to be angry:
"Okay, okay, I get it, you little girl wants to be beaten, right? There are outsiders here, why can't you show up properly!"
"Who said that? Brother Xiaoyun is not an outsider. How do you think he looks like an outsider? Tell me, grandpa. If you can't tell, it's not him! Say it, say it!"
Yan Nazhi actually acted like a rogue after hearing this, but the old man from Liangshan didn't seem to be really angry at this nonsense, shaking his head and smiled helplessly:
"Okay, okay, I know, I know, stop shaking, grandpa's arm is about to fall off!"
"That's pretty much it. Let's go, brother Xiaoyun. Let's go out for a walk. It's still early!"
After saying that, Yan Nanzhi took Qingyun and walked out of the house. In this regard, Qingyun was also a little helpless, and thought to himself, didn't you just say that you would help me review my homework?
But looking at the old man from Liangshan, he didn't refute. He looked like the old god was there, so he had to be dragged out of the house by Xiao Yanzi. But as soon as I walked to the door, I heard two old men from the mountains asking casually:
"Qingyun, why haven't I seen you wearing that tiger tooth pendant today?"
Qingyun was stunned when he heard this, thought for a moment and then replied:
"My father asked me to take it off a few days ago. He said he wanted to rim it for me and then he went out. I thought he had gone down the mountain. Teacher, you said you have never seen him. I don't know, teacher..."
"That's it, it doesn't matter. I just haven't seen you wearing it today, so I'm just curious. Nanzhi, please take Qingyun out for a walk. Grandpa will have guests coming later, so today's school exam will be over."
"Oh~ Grandpa is so nice! Hehehehe, Grandpa, can you entertain some guests every day!"
Yan Nanzhi winked at her grandfather and smiled, showing her cute little tiger teeth.
"What nonsense! Go quickly and remember to close the door!"
The two mountains seemed really angry.
"I know, grandpa, let's go quickly, brother Xiaoyun!"
After saying that, don't pull Qingyun and run outside the house, he will disappear in a flash.
But as the two of them left, the empty room returned to its previous silence and desolation, and the eyes of the two old men who had been bright and bright just now gradually became cloudy.
A faint sigh floated in the darkness, rolling forward along with the rut of fate.
Talk back to Qingyun and the other two.
In order to avoid the gang of gangsters headed by Tie Zhu who "do all evil", Yan Nanzhi took Qingyun and ran towards the back door of the village, as if he wanted to be alone with Qingyun.
Qingyun wanted to refuse, but Yan Nanzhi was always a child at heart, so he followed her outside through the back door of the village.
"Huh... Huh... Brother Xiaoyun, luckily I wasn't seen by Tiezhu and Huzi, otherwise I wouldn't have had any fun."
Yan Nanzhi smoothed the two ponytails behind her, patted her chest and wiped the sweat from her cheeks and smiled. Qingyun saw her look like this and shook his head helplessly, saying:
"You, there's really nothing we can do about you. It's so bad to hide from them. If they see us, they think we don't want to see them!"
"No, no, I just don't want to be with those brats. They only know how to fight and catch hares and pheasants all day long. It's no fun at all."
"Um, didn't you say you liked these last time?"
Seeing Qingyun's shocked face, Yan Nanzhi immediately drooped his face, his eyes filled with mist, and Qi Qiran said:
"I do! Am I such a wild girl in Brother Xiaoyun's heart?"
Seeing that she was about to cry, Qingyun became at a loss. He quickly went to help her wipe away her tears and said nervously:
"I...I...that's not what I meant. Don't cry, sister Nanzhi."
"I'm teasing you, hehe, people just like to see you acting silly, so they call me Nanzhi!"
In the blink of an eye, Yan Nanzhi changed from crying to laughing, which left Qingyun confused.
"By the way, Brother Xiaoyun, you haven't told me the story of the white fox you rescued last time! You left in a hurry before finishing last time. It's a long day today. Please tell me what's going on. ! And what does it look like? Does it look good? Is it the kind that’s all white?”
"Hey, okay, I'm stuck with you."
Qingyun smiled, a hint of pampering flashed through his warm eyes. After sorting out his thoughts, he said again:
"I picked her up when I was relaxing in Yiren Mountain a few years ago."
Looking at Yan Nanzhi's big, crystal clear eyes like gems, Qingyun continued:
"It was a small cave. Because my father was not at home at the time, I read all the books I borrowed from Grandpa Liangshan's house. I came out to relax when I had nothing to do."
Qingyun found a pile of wood and motioned Yan Nanzhi to sit down and rest, but Yan Nanzhi didn't buy his fault. Instead, he grabbed Qingyun's hand tightly and pulled him to his side.
"But this time I didn't go up the mountain, but went deep into the woods, because after my mother passed away, I almost never went there."
As he spoke, Qingyun did not forget to dust off Yan Nanzhi's body, and then said:
"I happened to have something on my mind at the time, and I went deep into the woods without knowing it, so you can imagine the result."
Qingyun smiled sheepishly, looking like he couldn't bear to look back on the past.
"Are you lost? Haha, brother Xiaoyun also makes mistakes sometimes, haha!"
Yan Nanzhi looked at Qingyun's embarrassment and laughed deliberately. His appearance was very exaggerated, which made Qingyun pretend to be angry and said:.
"How dare you make fun of me? Do you want to hear a story?"
Seeing this, Yan Nanzhi quickly sat down obediently, and then said coquettishly:
"I know I was wrong, brother Xiaoyun, please keep talking~"
Qingyun was really angry. Looking at Yan Nanzhi's beautiful bud-like cheeks, he was a little dazed. After a moment, he continued:
"Actually, I also found it very strange, because it was almost noon, but as I walked, there was heavy fog in the forest, which puzzled me. Later, I had to slowly explore my way forward, and I didn't know where I ended up. That’s when I came across that cave.”
