It was almost dusk that day, and Li Yecai returned to the woods outside the cliff with Mu Mu on his back.
This is Mu Mu's happiest day since her master left.
Just like the last time he saw Li Hongxiu, there was a white figure wandering outside the woods. As he approached, Li Ye naturally knew that this was Li Hongxiu, the future master wife of Fengyun City.
Seeing Li Ye walking over with Mu Mu on his back, Li Hongxiu was happy and shouted in a loud voice: "Li Ye, what the hell are you doing? Why can't I find the way in?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, I can't find it this way, so my sister will come."
As soon as Mu Mu saw Li Hongxiu on his back, he immediately jumped off Li Ye's back, ran to Li Hongxiu's side, and hugged her with all his strength.
He stretched out his little head and kissed Li Hongxiu on the face.
He waved his hands and muttered a few more spells.
I saw the fog in the forest dissipating, revealing the path in the forest.
"Sister, you don't love Mu Mu anymore. It took you so long to come to see me." Mu Mu yelled.
Li Hongxiu, who was holding Mu Mu, was shocked. She didn't expect that the fog in front of her was caused by this little girl. He happily said in her ear: "The snow on the mountain won't melt, how can I get up there? I'll take care of it for you." Things to eat."
The three of them walked into the forest as they talked. Li Ye had a headache looking at Li Hongxiu. He said carefully: "My husband taught Mu Mu about the restrictions in this forest. I'm afraid someone will come in when we are not at home."
While thinking about how to tell her that her husband had gone to Tianshan after entering.
Li Hongxiu nodded and said: "No wonder I have been here for a long time and still can't find the way in. I only saw a fog and thought I was going the wrong way."
The three of them took off their shoes and entered the house. Li Ye took out the fire breakers, lit them for pine branches, and started the fire in the stove. Then he turned around and carried the barrel out of the house, and went to get water outside the cave to make tea and rice.
Thinking about what was going to happen, he was also filled with sorrow and didn't know what to do.
Returning to the house, he filled the copper kettle with water and put it on the stove to boil. He lowered his head to get rice from the bucket, put it in the pot, and waited for the water to boil before cooking the rice.
Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye who was worried and silent, glared and said, "Little guy, don't you like me coming up the mountain? You and Mu Mu were chatting and laughing just now, but why do you look so sad when you see me?" "
Mu Mu seemed to have remembered something. She pricked up her ears and covered her mouth, looking like it was none of my business.
Turning his head and looking at Mu Mu's frightened look, Li Hongxiu came over, held Li Ye's ear and said, "Little guy, are you two hiding something from me? Where is your husband?"
Li Ye looked at the angry Li Hongxiu with a bitter look on his face, not knowing what to say.
Mu Mu was startled and blurted out: "Sir, I went to the top of the mountain with my master!"
As soon as the words came out, he immediately covered his mouth again, turned his face away, and looked at the sky outside the room.
Li Ye looked at Mu Mu with a sad face, sighed and said, "Sir, the reason why you went to the top of the mountain is because Mu Mu's master is going to go through the tribulation. He went to help watch out for fear of something happening."
After he finished, he continued: "The teacher also said that he asked me to watch you and told you not to go to the top of the mountain to find him. Firstly, it is dangerous up there, and secondly, you can't help if you go there. I was worried, but I didn't expect you I came up the mountain today.”
After listening to what Li Ye said, Li Hongxiu became angry and shouted: "This guy, why didn't you wait for me to come up the mountain before going to the top of the mountain! Isn't this just to make me angry?"
Mu Mu looked at Li Hongxiu who was angry, lowered her head and whispered: "Sister, don't be angry, I am also very reluctant to let go of the master, but there is no way. The master said that it was not up to her to decide, so she must go." Mu Mu cried a lot. Oh my God."
Thinking of Bai Susu who left her, Mu Mu's eyes turned red again. She came over and hugged Li Hongxiu, whimpering and wanting to cry again.
Li Hongxiu looked at Mu Mu who was about to cry, walked over and picked her up, put her on his lap and sat on her, while coaxing her and saying: "Your master can't help it, I'm just angry that the husband didn't tell me ."
Li Ye whispered on the side: "Isn't there nothing I can do to tell you, sir? How can he contact the people at the foot of the mountain when the mountain is blocked by heavy snow?"
"Sir, I have always been thinking about you, otherwise I wouldn't have asked me to stop you from going up."
Mu Mu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, expressing her agreement with what Li Ye said.
Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Li Hongxiu also sighed deeply and said quietly: "I have been waiting hard at the foot of the mountain all winter, and finally came up, but the person disappeared!"
"Sir, tell you how long it will take him to get back here?"
Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu timidly and said, "My husband told me that it could be as fast as half a month to a month, or as slow as two to three months. He couldn't say for sure. He said that if it took three months, he would not go down the mountain. , just let me go down the mountain if I want, and continue practicing on the mountain if I want to stay.”
Li Hongxiu was stunned after hearing this and hugged Mu Mu without saying a word.
Looking at the steaming kettle, Li Ye took the tea leaves, warmed the kettle, washed the tea, and washed the cups. Then he poured three cups of tea and placed one cup in front of Li Hongxiu.
He lowered his head, took out the rice from the bucket and poured it into the pot. He put on his shoes and went out to wash the rice and cook it.
He was being careful now, fearing that Li Hongxiu would go to the top of the mountain if he got angry.
By the time he finished washing the rice and returned to the house with the pot, Mu Mu was already sitting obediently drinking tea, and Li Hongxiu was also drinking tea with a cup in hand.
Li Ye put the pot on, added charcoal, and started cooking.
Looking at the quiet Li Hongxiu, Li Ye asked carefully: "Master Li, should we eat meat rice tonight, or make another pot of mushroom broth?"
Looking at Li Ye who was serving him carefully, Li Hongxiu couldn't help but smile, pointing to the unopened bag and said: "No, you can just cook some mushroom soup later. I brought a roast chicken to comfort you, but I didn’t expect sir to be away.”
"Sir, he also likes you. He can't run away, don't worry." Li Ye replied carefully, then picked up his teacup.
Li Hongxiu, who was drinking tea from a cup, blushed when Li Ye said this. He glared at her and said, "Little brat, what do you know? If you chew your tongue, be careful I'll beat you up."
Mu Mu listened to Li Yeyi's words, tilted her head and thought for a while, pointed at Li Hongxiu and said, "Sister, what brother said is true. One time I got up to pee in the middle of the night and heard my husband talking in his sleep and calling you!"
Li Hongxiu, who had a serious face at first, couldn't help laughing when Mu Mu said it. His laughter made her branches tremble. He hugged Mu Mu and used his fingers to shame her nose.
While laughing, he said: "You are also a little kid, following your brother and chewing your tongue. After a while, my sister will tear the chicken legs for you to eat."
After this noise, the tense atmosphere finally eased.
Li Ye added hot tea to the cups of the three of them, then picked it up and continued drinking.
Li Hongxiu opened the package, took out the contents, looked at the two of them and said, "Mumu, my sister bought you some spring dresses and fried peanuts and melon seeds; Ye'er, your mother also brought you two An empty spring dress, and the apricot blossom cake you like to eat, which is newly made in spring today, it’s fragrant and delicious.”
There were also silk scarves for wiping Mu Mu's mouth, scarves to tie her hair, rubber bands, and a bunch of small things that Mu Mu had never seen before.
Mu Mu hugged Li Hongxiu and shouted, "Sister Mu Mu loves you to death. From now on, Mu Mu must leave good things to you."
Li Ye took the spring clothes his mother made for him, gently smelled the scent on it, and felt his mother's warmth.
He took two more pieces of apricot blossom cake, stuffed one into Mumu's mouth, and held the other in his hand, savoring it carefully.
Mumu was so happy to eat apricot blossom cake for the first time that she finished it in a few bites and put her fingers into her mouth to lick it.
Li Hongxiu gently slapped her little hand and said, "You little greedy cat, eat so much slowly and don't eat your fingers."
Mu Mu grabbed another peanut and asked Li Hongxiu how to eat it.
Li Hongxiu's eyes turned red, thinking that this child had lived on the Tianshan Mountains since he was a child, had never been to the city, and had never even eaten peanuts and melon seeds.
Now he picked up the peanuts, gently squeezed open the shells with his hands, and took out the peanut kernels inside and fed them to Mumu.
Wanban said distressedly: "Mumu, I will stay with you in the mountain for a month. If your husband doesn't come back, I will take you down the mountain and enjoy the life in the city. You can eat whatever you want."
Mu Mu carefully felt the changes in the fried peanuts when chewed in her mouth, grabbed another melon seed, followed Li Hongxiu's example, peeled off the melon seed flesh and ate it, and then smiled happily.
"Sister, you are the best person to me besides my master and brother. Mumu loves you to death. Mumu will definitely love you well when she grows up."
The apricot pollen cake, fried peanuts and melon seeds, and the roast chicken on the table were all things Mumu had never seen before. Although they were not valuable, they filled her with joy and she thought about going down the mountain to play with Li Hongxiu.
Li Ye looked at Mu Mu's happy face and was even happier than when he saw the clothes his mother had sewn for him. It was rare to find anything that made Mu Mu happy. This was what Li Ye cared about the most.
After drinking three courses of tea, Mu Mu ate some peanuts and melon seeds. The rice in the pot was cooked and the soup was boiling. Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu and said, "Would you like to drink the fruit wine made by Mr.? There are many more." In the cave.”
Li Hongxiu Feng glared and said: "Isn't this nonsense? I came up the mountain to see you. I won't even let you drink a glass of fruit wine. I'm going to beat you up."
Li Ye was startled, quickly got up and put on his shoes, went out of the house and went into the cave to get wine for Li Hongxiu.
Mu Mu helped clear the table and took bowls and chopsticks to prepare rice.
Li Hongxiu hugged her over, put her on the stool beside him, and said softly: "Let my brother do these things. You just stay here and wait for me to tear the chicken legs for you to eat."
He stood up, fetched two wine glasses from the wooden stand, placed them on the table, and filled them with three bowls of soup. Then he sat down, fetched the paper wrapping the roast chicken, carefully tore off one leg and handed it to Come on Mumu.
Mu Mu excitedly took it and licked it with her tongue. Feeling the change in taste in her mouth, she exclaimed that it was delicious. She bit into the drumstick before Li Ye came back and opened her mouth.
When Li Ye came back with the wine and carefully opened the seal, the aroma of fruit wine filled the room.
Li Hongxiu took the bamboo tube and poured himself a full cup. He also poured half a cup into another cup. He gave Mu Mu a sip and said, "From now on, you have to learn to drink. How can I Practitioners don’t know how to drink.”
After finishing, he placed the wine glass in his hand in front of Li Ye. "Sir, if you're not here, just drink some with me. Anyway, you have to learn to drink in the future."
Mu Mu was biting the meat in her mouth when she suddenly gave Li Hongxiu a sip of wine. She was so surprised that she screamed and said, "Sister, you gave Mu Mu some poison again."
Li Hongxiu burst out laughing when she heard this, thinking that this was a real pistachio.
Li Ye took the half glass of wine that Li Hongxiu poured, thought for a moment, then brought it to his mouth, lowered his head and took a shallow sip. Feeling the change of the fruit wine in his mouth, he stretched out his hand, tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.
After dinner that night and all the wine in the glass, Li Ye felt his head was heavy and asked Mu Mu to help him go into the cave to sleep. He would wash the pots and pans tomorrow...
Mu Mu also went crazy all day and didn't sleep at noon. When she was helped up to the stone platform, she took off her shoes and got into her bed.
Mumu's world is very simple, except for the master who is Li Ye.
Li Hongxiu drank up a bottle of fruit wine. This wine was nothing to her. She was just pretending to be worried. After drinking the wine, she was a little drunk. She turned around and fell on the recliner. She pulled the big beast with her hand. A leather cover wrapped around his body.
...
Mumu slept soundly that night, snoring like a little pig.
Li Ye went back and forth that night and didn't sleep well.
He woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again. Because, he heard Li Hongxiu crying and cursing outside the cave, facing the silent Tianshan Mountain.
Every cry is like a cuckoo crying for blood...
Screaming and cursing one after another, just like a shrew cursing in the street...
At this moment, Li Ye was thinking that one day, the young lady on Phoenix Mountain would become a shrew like Li Hongxiu tonight, scolding the streets, cuckoos crying blood...
The faint moonlight shines on the cave wall, and I don't know whether it is the upper Xuan moon or the lower Xuan moon...
