The four of them came to the foot of the mountain and found a path up the mountain. Yu Wenhan saw "this road" covered with weeds and leaves, and asked in surprise: "Are you sure this is a road?"
"Of course it's the road. I have a good memory. This road is much faster. We can rest for a while after going up. Let me tell you, when climbing a mountain, you have to take a small path, so that you can feel more conquered and open!" Yun After Chuan finished speaking, he took out his small dagger, cut off four hard branches, handed it to them and said, "Take it! I will lead the way, my brother will walk behind me, and you two just follow us."
Yu Wenhan looked up carefully. It was almost the second watch, the weather was slightly cold, and only a little moonlight shone down. But fortunately, this mountain has rugged rocks, few trees, and a broad view. Yang Qingyuan was worried about returning in vain, so he glanced upward and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure!" Yun Chuan pulled Yun Xi and said, "Yun Xi, tell them whether we took this road last time we came here."
Yun Xi smiled and said: "There is no main road in this mountain. It is full of rocks and it is difficult to climb up. But you see there are some pines and cypresses along the road here, and there is a support when climbing up. This is also the way the locals told us to climb the mountain last time. , it can’t be wrong.”
"I see, then please!" Yu Wenhan responded.
Yun Chuan muttered in a low voice, "People from the Central Plains are really timid and fearful of things," and then walked at the front.
Two years ago, Yunchuan and his wife climbed once, but it was early in the evening and the sky was already dark. Although there was a bright moon, it was blurry and unclear. The four of them walked slowly upward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The leaves were rustling in the wind, and from time to time a crow or two flew overhead. There was still some moss on the rocks, which made them extremely slippery. Yunchuan leaned on a stick and told everyone to tread firmly before moving. Yunchuan thought to himself: He was willing to go all out for Yun Xi. He went hiking and exploring in the middle of the night, but he must not let any snakes, insects or monsters come out, otherwise he would be scared half to death.
I didn’t expect what I was afraid of would happen! Suddenly something cold slipped on his feet and slid onto his legs, "Snake!!" Yunchuan shouted, his whole body jumped up, and his whole body fell back with one foot. Yu Wenhan quickly held on to the trees next to him. , said "Hurry!" to Yang Qingyuan!
Yang Qingyun strode forward and supported Yunchuan who was about to fall down the hillside. Yunchuan completely lost his fulcrum and fell into Yang Qingyun's arms. After he stood firm, he still lay on Yang Qingyun's shoulder with lingering fear and patted her. His little heart was beating wildly and he took a long breath and said, "I was scared to death. A snake just slipped across my feet and made everyone laugh!"
Yun Xi hurried over and looked at Yun Chuan up and down, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Let me take a look!"
Only then did Yun Chuan realize that he was still half-lying on Yang Qingyuan's shoulder. He quickly helped Yun Xi stand up straight and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not biting. You know, I'm just more afraid of these slippery things." After saying that, he lowered his head and glanced at Yang Qingyuan. The bright white light shone on him, making him feel a little dazed.
Yu Wenhan walked up to him and said, "You're not sprained, are you?"
"It's okay, it's really okay. Just forget about this moment and don't mention it in the future." Yun Chuan thought of how embarrassed he had just been and felt a little embarrassed.
Yu Wenhan smoothed things over for her: "The mountain road is rugged, so it is inevitable. Qingyun, you open the way in front, I will go at the back."
Yun Xi looked at the two of them and felt like she was back when she was a child. Her cousin and Brother Yang protected her one after another. She couldn't help but smile on her face and said "Okay!"
The four of them helped each other to the top of the mountain. The dewy air on the top of the mountain in early summer is particularly refreshing. The bright moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, and the gentle breeze blows, making you feel relaxed and happy. The four of them found a place to sit around. Yun Xi was not good at physical strength and her whole body was falling apart. She rubbed her legs and said, "I didn't like climbing when I was a child. I was often carried up mountains by my brother. I haven't been treated like this in many years." Come on!" After saying that, he looked at Qingyuan and Yu Wenhan, wondering if they had any feelings.
Yu Wenhan looked at Yunchuan. Although his face was full of glory and his figure was straight, he was obviously not strong enough. He said in surprise: "You said Brother Yunchuan is carrying you?"
When Yun Chuan heard this, he burst out laughing, thinking about how this man could be so innocent sometimes. Yun Chuan gave Yun Xi a look and said: "There are still two hours until the sun comes out, so there is no point in waiting. Otherwise, how about we each tell an embarrassing incident when we were young. It turned out to be me who started it, Let me speak first!" Yun Xi responded and said, "I have no problem, what about you?"
Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingyuan thought it was okay and nodded.
Yunchuan pretended to be thinking hard and said: "I did too many embarrassing things when I was a child. I want to think about which one to talk about!" Yunchuan was not lying. Although he is a girl, he really has the personality of a boy. Horseback riding, hunting, mountain climbing and archery, wherever there is excitement, there will be her presence.
"Let me tell you an interesting story about my brother and I." Yun Chuan said, looking at Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingyu meaningfully, and then said: "My brother is my cousin. My biggest pleasure when I was young was to tease He died. When I was a child, I loved horseback riding and safari, but my cousin loved reading and writing, so I put a lot of effort into letting him accompany me. One time, my cousin happened to be studying, and I was bored playing in the countryside. I asked someone to tell him that I was injured in a fall, and my cousin came to look for me quickly. But on our way back, I really fell and couldn't go out for half a month. Are you embarrassed?"
Yun Xi knows this story because it is her own story. But instead of riding a horse, they were flying a kite. In the end, Yu Wenhan carried the wrestling Yun Xi back home. Yang Qingyuan also blamed Yu Wenhan for not taking good care of herself. Later, the two of them stayed with me for half a month without going out.
After telling the story, Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingyuan remained silent. Yun Chuan quickly asked: "Do you have a sister? Have you ever been teased?"
Yu Wenhan said thoughtfully: "Brother's childhood experience is somewhat similar to that of my sister."
Yun Xi's heart trembled when he heard this: "Did the sister he mentioned refer to himself?" He immediately said: "Brother Wenhan, please tell me too."
Yu Wenhan looked up at the night sky and said nothing for a long time. Yun Chuan was a little anxious while waiting, and shouted: "This is against the rules. I have already said that you are not allowed to default on your debt."
Yu Wenhan smiled and said slowly: "There were many embarrassing things when I was teased by my sister when I was young, and I am also wondering which one I want to talk about."
"My sister has been smart and lively since she was a child. She often puts some weird things in my books to scare me. In fact, I have noticed it for a long time, but seeing her so happy, I just follow her. Qingyuan will also put those things in my books. He would frighten her with strange things and chase her all over the yard. My sister also did the thing you just mentioned, but it was not for riding a horse, but for me to fly a kite with her. In the end, she really fell I haven't been out since I was injured for half a month. I thought at that time, if I had accompanied her from the beginning, she wouldn't have said anything." The words stopped abruptly, and the four of them fell into silence. Yu Wenhan seemed to have another look before his eyes. Yu Wenxi's previous appearance emerged, laughing and noisy.
Yun Xi's eyes were a little moist. It turned out that since then, her cousin would agree to go wherever she wanted to go, because of this.
Yun Chuan thought that he was a little surprised that Yang Qingyuan, who was as cold as the cold moon in front of him, could actually do something to make fun of people. And Yu Wenhan's eyes were like a dark blue lake, filled with sadness, which made people feel a little distressed.
Yun Chuan thought about striking while the iron was hot, and then helped Yun Xi test it out: "What about your sister, why don't you come together this time?"
Yu Wenhan looked at Yun Chuan, who looked innocent, and thought that there really were people with a similar temperament to Xi'er in the world. I have never liked to interact with outsiders, but when I met this little brother, I didn't feel disgusted and even welcomed him. "Eight years ago, my sister moved her family and we lost contact." Yu Wenhan said in a low voice.
Yun Xi felt happy knowing that her brother still cared about her. Because this brother was a commoner, his mother and concubine died young, and he had no power in the court to cling to. Moreover, he was introverted, not good at words, and was not favored by the emperor at that time. I wonder how he has lived in the past eight years?
Yun Chuan thought that they actually cared about Yun Xi very much, why should they be so worried? So he immediately asked: "Then why don't you go look for it and see it?"
Yun Chuan's words obviously touched their sore spot. Yu Wenhan's eyes became even darker and he remained silent, making both Yun Chuan and Yun Chuan very nervous. "Then do you know where she is?" Yun Xi asked.
"I don't know." Yang Qingyuan replied calmly.
Yun Xi was a little disappointed after hearing this. Eight years have passed, and she doesn't know whether her father Yu Wenhua is alive or dead, and her uncle can't find out any information about her father. She has somehow transformed from a carefree princess into a foreign country living incognito. Now I am facing the relatives I was most familiar with when I was a child, but I am relatively unfamiliar with them.
Yun Chuan found it puzzling. What could be so difficult for him in the world? The game of revealing his own embarrassment has no meaning to continue. Yunchuan thought that Yang Qingyuan hadn't said anything yet, and felt a little disappointed. As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Yunchuan couldn't help but ask himself: What does this person have to do with him? Have this strange feeling?
When Yun Chuan saw the silent three people, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Hey, are we planning to stay here until dawn? I originally wanted everyone to say something happy, but why did it sound so heavy? What do you want? I believe that the people you care about will also care about you all the time. There are many things in this world that are difficult to consider, is it best to just do what you want?"
"Do as you please" - these four words, Yu Wenxi also told Yang Qingyun eight years ago that he was infected with the plague, and many people avoided him. Only Yu Wenxi and Yu Wenhan came to visit, and Yu Wenxi He said outside the door: "We will sit outside the door and chat with you to relieve your boredom. Don't worry about so much. Let's just do as we please."
Yang Qingyuan looked at Yunchuan, as if Xi'er's voice sounded in his ears back then. After an unexpected contact while hiking, he concluded that this person was a woman disguised as a man. Although her temperament is very similar to Yu Wenxi's, the exotic look between her eyebrows clearly shows that she is not Yu Wenxi, but a girl who grew up in the desert and is as carefree and pampered as Xi'er. Perhaps touched by Yun Chuan's "doing what he wants", Yang Qingyuan responded: "Brother Wen Han's sister is also a very important friend of mine. Things are unpredictable and it is difficult to have both. Sometimes, not seeing each other may be the best meeting, and no news is The best news.”
"How can you know if she is happy or not if you don't see her?" Yun Xi asked softly.
"She will, and she will be happy!" Yang Qingyuan was stunned for a moment and replied firmly.
"Why do you make it sound like you are lying to yourself?" Yun Chuan asked, looking at Yang Qingyuan intently. Yang Qingyuan looked up at Mingyue and remained silent as if she had seen through her thoughts. But I was silently praying to the bright moon in my heart: I climbed up to look at the moon today, hoping that Xier could always see such a bright and clear moonlight.
Yun Chuan glanced at Yun Xi who had fallen silent, fearing that she would fall into the bottomless abyss again. He had to waste so many years of strength to pull Yun Xi out of despair, and quickly said: "The most important thing is to do what you want. The most important thing is not to be sad in spring and autumn, but to know how to cherish life and enjoy time. I will teach you a way to deal with such dilemmas - just don't think about it. Just let the past go with the wind, and everything will take care of itself. The reason is that you can only live a wonderful life to live up to the people who care about you."
Yun Xi also said "hmm", and her heart became bright again. Yes, in the past eight years, it was also because of Yun Chuan's company and guidance that she slowly came out of the initial panic and despair. Although her temper was no longer playful, fortunately she was not enveloped in hatred, and she also tried to slowly get along with her. Memories and reconciliation.
The four of them rested against the rocks for a while. The sky was bright and Yun Xi was the first to wake up, "Look, the sun is coming out!"
The clouds on the horizon were blushing, a red sun was slowly climbing upwards, and the warm golden light was slowly spreading from the eastern slopes to the top of the mountain. The four people stood up and faced the first ray of sunshine in the morning. The mountains full of bright red camellias were swaying in the breeze, and bursts of floral fragrance filled the air.
"The red Dan reflects the rays of the sun, and the breeze carries the lingering fragrance." Yu Wenhan said with a smile.
"We will have close friends at the end of the world, but we only hope that Yun Shui will be close to each other." Yun Xi understood it in his heart.
Yun Chuan applauded beside him: "That's great, then I hope my worries will dissipate with the wind, and my worries will clear up with the sun."
"Okay, the clouds of sorrow are finally clearing!"
As the sun rose, the four of them walked down the mountain while admiring the camellias along the road, chatting and laughing all the way. With yesterday's heavy weight left behind in the wind, Yun Xi thought that instead of seeking to understand everything, it would be better to cherish the present moment and seek happiness. Being able to meet again is already God's best gift to me.
The four of them returned to the inn and had a simple breakfast, then went back to their rooms to rest, and made an appointment to meet at noon to discuss the next itinerary.
