The sun was setting in the west, and the remaining warmth of the sun was still there, but a cold wind was already blowing in the mountains, passing through the gaps in the wooden boards of the wooden house, making Chan shiver.
This is a small wooden house in the mountains. The twins took Lingchan to walk here all afternoon. They seemed to have walked there many times. Not only were they very familiar with the road, but they were also quite relaxed.
After arriving at the cabin, Fu Wenzhang shouted that he was going hunting, left Fu Wenci and Lingchan here, and ran off on horseback alone.
Fu Wenci took the package off the horse, turned it over, and found Lingchan's cloak.
He shook his cloak and was about to put it on Ling Chan, but Ling Chan held down his wrist through the sleeves.
"I can do it myself." The girl smiled politely and refused his approach without leaving any trace.
Fu Wenci forcibly kidnapped his sister. He was wronged first, but it was difficult to face his sister's resistance. He walked around the wooden house and took out a large pile of firewood. He said to please: "Sister, are you still cold?" Don’t you want to keep yourself warm?”
Lingchan frowned, "How can you set a fire in the mountains? What if it causes a mountain fire?"
Fu Wenci was about to put down the firewood immediately, but then heard Lingchan whisper: "...I haven't cooked on the fire yet..."
The girl lowered her head, her fair skin showing a hint of pink, like a flower with dewdrops waiting to bloom.
Fu Wenci immediately said: "There is a stream near here! Where can we go! I will grill fish for you!"
Lingchan looked expectant, and Fu Wenci was dizzy at her sight, so he held a large bundle of firewood and didn't care about getting dusty all over himself. He was afraid of choking Lingchan, so he asked his sister to hold the corner of his clothes. Follow from a distance.
The creek is very close to the wooden house, but only a dozen meters away. The sun is jumping on the water and the waves are sparkling.
Fu Wenci first found a big stone for Lingchan and asked the girl to sit and watch him busy.
He rolled up his trousers, held a long sword in his hand, and stabbed fish in the creek. His eyes were quick and his hands were ruthless, and his sword was deadly.
The stream under the setting sun was already filled with coldness, and the scattered water droplets splashed on Lingchan, making her shrink her shoulders.
Fu Wenci glanced here, put the forked fish aside, walked to Lingchan, and started to light a fire.
While he was tossing the wood, he kept talking and boasting about how delicious his grilled fish was.
Ling Chan remained silent.
Fu Wenci also gradually fell silent.
Without the abrupt human voice, the natural pulsating sound is clearer and purer.
The evening breeze in the forest was gentle, gently blowing across the river bank. The damp firewood made a slight crackling sound, and the orange flame beat warmly. Fu Wenci lowered his eyes, and a shadow swept over his long eyelashes, focusing on Observe the grilled fish in your hands.
Lingchan's voice came from behind him, "Brother, where are we going?"
Fu Wenci said: "I'm going to Beijing to take the exam, and my brother is going to the border to join the army. I originally wanted you to choose by yourself and see where you want to go? But now... we plan to stay with you for a while until you find your direction. Say it again."
"Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, we will always be with you."
"..."
The sky was dark, and in the dim firelight, Lingchan sat on a big stone with her knees in her arms. She was as fragile as the crystal dewdrops on the tender petals. After a short period of beauty, she would disappear between heaven and earth.
Fu Wenci didn't dare to look at her. He turned his back again and stared at the fish. He spoke endlessly, looking for words that Lingchan might like, "My brother and I have never been to any place, but we have explored this area many times. This mountain is very beautiful. Walking more than ten miles to the west, there is a miraculous skyline, passing through it is a river valley. The water in the small waterfall is sweet and cold, and the fish raised are also delicious, tender and delicious. Unfortunately today You’re in a hurry, otherwise I’ll catch it for you to try.”
"It sounds very good," Lingchan seemed a little moved, "Can I go and have a look."
"Of course!" Fu Wenci immediately said: "The peach blossoms in the mountains are still in bloom. There is a beautiful peach grove upstream of the waterfall. It is the season when the fallen flowers are in full bloom. The soft red petals will flow down the water, which is also very beautiful. , you will definitely like it!”
The fish was ready quickly, crispy and crispy, with a compelling aroma. Fu Wenci was extremely satisfied. He excitedly handed it to Lingchan and invited Lingchan to taste it with anticipation.
Ling Chan brought it to her mouth, but suddenly the neighing of a horse came from the forest.
Something happened to Fu Wenzhang!
Fu Wenci's expression changed and he jumped up. He wanted Ling Chan to go back to the house and wait, but Ling Chan put down the grilled fish and stood up, "Let's go together."
She said seriously: "I will be very worried about you."
Fu Wenci quickly made up his mind, grabbed Lingchan with his long arm, and took Lingchan on the horse.
Fu Wenzhang was found soon.
He was tied tightly and left in front of the magnificent carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Fu inside. In the bright firelight, Mrs. Fu's face was frighteningly dark.
Lingchan's eyes lit up and she was about to call for help. Fu Wenci covered her mouth and begged, "Don't scream, don't make a sound."
How can Lingchan be willing?
She stepped forward heavily, and the dead branches and leaves under her feet made a crisp sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet forest.
The patrolling guards immediately turned their attention to the direction where they were hiding.
Without Mrs. Fu's instructions, someone immediately rushed over to arrest the two of them.
Fu Wenci hugged Lingchan and ran away, but Lingchan was very uncooperative and kept trying to make noises and dance to disturb him.
Well-trained guards are not easily thrown away.
Fu Wenci was quickly caught and tied up next to his brother.
The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
They were very familiar with this mountain forest. They came here in advance and carefully designed the route. They took all the paths they took. Even the local hunters didn't know... Why did the mother catch up so quickly? !
Instead, Lingchan was hugged by Mrs. Fu, who looked at the dust marks on her body from the mountains with distress.
"Good child, you have suffered." Mrs. Fu touched her face and sighed, "Fortunately you were smart and left marks along the way, otherwise this deep mountain and old forest wouldn't be able to find you so quickly."
"mark?"
The twins changed their expressions.
"Lingchan," Fu Wenzhang laughed: "I underestimated you."
Mrs. Fu's face suddenly darkened, and she scolded the two bastards, "You still have the nerve to talk! Hijacking my sister? You two are quite promising! You're still walking into the deserted mountains, you two are stupid. I’m not afraid of being thick and rough, what should Lingchan do?”
Lingchan grabbed Mrs. Fu's sleeve and whispered, "Let me talk to my two brothers."
Lingchan walked up to the twins and said in a calm voice, "The two brothers are very confused, why can mother come here so quickly?"
The twins were tied tightly with hemp rope and looked silently at this sister who had always been weak, kind and reassuring.
"Because I have worked hard," Lingchan said, smiling slightly.
"When I was on the horse today, I asked my brother for snacks, not to eat them, but to scatter them on the road to mark the road."
"I was afraid that the birds would take away the snacks, so I used hairpins to mark my name on the land and trees; I tore a thin gauze dress into pieces and quietly hid the torn clothes in the bushes."
She looked at Fu Wenci, smiled apologetically, and shook her sleeves. In addition to a few crushed snacks, a lot of pebbles fell to the ground.
"I want to go to the river, because I don't have enough snacks, so I need to get something new and more convenient to mark."
Lingchan knelt down and the girl's soft palm grasped the hands of the two brothers. She said sincerely: "I know that the two brothers are worried about me and are afraid that I will be bullied when I enter the palace."
"But I can protect myself."
Now I have proven it to you.
"Do not worry."
Lingchan said with a smile.
The domestic pet, which has always shown itself to be soft, cute and docile, showed its fangs.
