The mountains are refreshing and windless. The mountains are majestic and endless, crossing one mountain after another, and one mountain is still higher than the other.
Many poems and songs by literati often describe beauty's features as spring mountains, which is the best time of the year.
Late in the day, the old trees grow new leaves, and the green color from a distance means they are green; in the early part of the season, the cold weather has not yet turned green, and the ground is withered and yellow, full of decay, bare and lifeless.
Mei Dai Mei Dai. Looking at the green mountains from a distance, how charming they are. Once you go a hundred miles and apply pink and white, you will see the curving willow leaves of Emei with this color, which is the most beautiful.
It's just that in the middle of the night, there is absolutely no time or mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. It was already noon when we returned to Shanbei Xiaozhai. Even though we were walking on a small road, we still lost a lot of time because we were not familiar with it.
After entering the village, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the village was a little strange. He suddenly realized that there was no one in the village, which was usually the busiest. Only the sounds of livestock could be heard from time to time, mixed with the forest. The dogs barking in Zhongniaoyingyuan made Ye Sangeng, who was separated from Ye Xiayou for the first time in three years, feel a little strange.
The old village master's house was at the very back of the village, and when he was far away, he saw that the fenced courtyard was crowded with people. He breathed a sigh of relief at midnight. He couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself for being so careful. He was so exhausted that night that he was thinking wildly. When I got up, I had to sigh that there has been so much waste in the past three years.
I don’t know who saw it first and shouted at midnight
"Third Young Master is back." Everyone turned around immediately and started shouting. The little donkey in the yard, who was quite humane, also began to bray happily.
The crowd lined up on their own, making way for a path. As far as the eye could see, there was a person standing in the main room facing the courtyard.
A person who would never be expected in the middle of the night. Jiang Yi. Jiang Xiaolong Jiang Xiaobai's father. The burly man looked like an iron tower, with a heavy back and a heavy waist. His bare arms were knotted with flesh. A tattooed dragon head appeared to be probing his head at a finger-width above his elbow. On his slightly open chest, a five-clawed golden dragon body that could not be covered by his collar loomed, so majestic.
Jiang Xiaobai stood in the corner with his head bowed. Jiang Xiaolong was crying next to him. In the back room, the old village owner and Er Ni sat and stood with depressed expressions.
Only Ye Xiayou and the long sword were missing. Still not doubting his presence, Jiang Yi greeted him in the middle of the night: "Brother Yi, why are you here?" Jiang Yi's eyes dodge, but this man really doesn't know how to hide, which is a bit ridiculous, he said: "Do you think these two children are really here?" You can come all the way by yourself? If I hadn't protected you secretly, I wouldn't have been able to get out of Yizhou." Seeing the two children being submissive, Ye Sangen also said with a smile: "Thanks to my sister for praising them for their ability, it turns out that you have been secretly guarding them. Protect me. Where have you been these past two days? Why are you hiding here?" Jiang Yi just forced a laugh twice, as if he was talking about him.
"When I saw these two children finding you, I walked around nearby. I haven't left the grave for a long time. This time I stole a few days of leisure by looking for the two children." Ye Sangeng agreed: "That's how it should be, every day It’s annoying to death to see those old guys’ rules and regulations in the grave.” Then he nodded towards the two children who had been submissive and dared not say anything until now, and said jokingly,
"What, the beating is over?" Jiang Yi's smile became even more awkward, and he even faltered a little when he spoke.
"Don't you want me to spank the children? You can't spank them when they are so old." Ye San even agreed. You must know that Jiang Xiaolong is a girl after all when it comes to the discipline of these two children. His voice is slightly louder, even if it is With wide eyes, he was very obedient, but Jiang Xiaobai was not.
Growing up, because of the doting of his elders, Jiang Xiaobai became naughty and lawless. At that time, Jiang Yi was responsible for supervising the forging of swords in the outer sect, which was one of the main sources of income of the Mingdao Tomb. Naturally, the disciples in the sect had to take full responsibility for it, so he neglected to discipline Jiang Xiaobai, which made him disobedient to the teachings.
As a father, Jiang Yike never spoiled him. Jiang Xiaobai went too far and the others just said a few words indifferently. Jiang Yi was different, it was a real beating.
When Jiang Xiaobai was six years old, he went to visit relatives at Ye's house with his parents. Because he was naughty and didn't eat well, he was beaten by Jiang Yina. Even at nightfall, he couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Jiang Yina.
He didn't pay much attention to the strange expression of his cousin. In the middle of the night, he looked around and asked, "Where is my sister?" When he asked this question, he saw Jiang Yi's eyes dodge, and his expression gradually solidified. In the middle of the night, my heart felt exactly the same as when I first entered the village, and I was throbbing.
"Where's my sister?" I asked this question again, but couldn't get the answer I wanted. She walked into the back room in three steps and two steps in the middle of the night. The expression of the old village leader was also unnatural. Erni stood aside. Wanting to cry, she started sobbing.
Feeling that something was wrong more and more, Ye Sangen rushed out of the house. Before he could speak again, Jiang Xiaolong, who had not stopped sobbing, couldn't help but burst into tears. He choked and said, "Third uncle, second aunt...Second aunt let that teacher kidnap him. ." Things completely started to develop out of control. In the middle of the night, there was a buzzing sound in my head, as if it was exploding, but I narrowly escaped falling.
Time goes back to two hours ago. Ye Xia You rubbed the piece of Baopu rock, which was warm in winter and cool in summer, back and forth. This piece of jade that was warm and cool had been with her brother since she could remember. Naturally, she would not think that her brother was in danger. Asking Ergou to bring back this shapeless piece of jade, he believed that his younger brother was afraid that he would worry about him, so he sent this belonging back to reassure him.
Just looking at Ye Xiayou's appearance and not saying anything, Ergou also secretly wondered whether he should come back or not.
The old village leader was panicking when he saw this quiet scene. He gently waved his hand to Erni to lead the two dolls who usually called him ancestors out, and then he said: "Second Miss, please say something." Ye Xie did not speak, but smiled in the direction of the old village leader, a little apologetically, and the smile was a little forced.
Ergou looked at the old village leader, then at Ye Xia Yu, scratched his head, not knowing what to say, or whether he should continue to stay here.
Just like this, the old man and the young boy sat quietly in the house until the sky turned white and became bright. The sun crossed the mountains and spilled into the village, dyeing it a golden color. The warm clothes of early spring filtered into the house through the propped-up wooden window. , happened to fall on Ye Xiayou's expressionless face. She just raised her head and called out: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai." Jiang Xiaobai, who was uncharacteristically squatting at the door in the yard, quickly got up and entered the house.
"What's wrong, Second Aunt?"
"Take me to your third uncle." Jiang Xiaobai agreed, and ran into the back room to get the long knife that had been wrapped in coarse cloth for many days.
As a disciple of the Ming Dao Fen sect, you must ensure that your sword never leaves your body at all times. Ling Junjiang suddenly appeared outside the courtyard and walked in. Erni, who was waiting with Jiang Xiaolong in the courtyard for further instructions from Ye Haoyun, looked at the scholar with whom she had become a matchmaker and said happily: "Brother Ling, what did you do last night?" What are you doing? Grandpa asked me to look for you when Ergou came back from the city. Why did you..." Ignoring your intention at all, Ling Junjiang walked directly into the house,
"What's going on?" Seeing the only educated scholar in his village, the old village owner had a backbone and told the story. Unexpectedly, Ling Junjiang was happy and said: "How about I accompany the second lady? Go there, and there will be someone to take care of you on the way." The old village leader agreed: "Yes, Miss Er, take Jun Jiang with you, and then call a few young people in the village. There will be someone to take care of you on the way. Let's go to the city and see what's going on. Ergou didn't explain it clearly, or Third Young Master didn't explain it clearly, which always makes people worry." Ye Xiayou was about to refuse, she was not used to troubling others with her own affairs.
But it was Ling Junjiang who said first: "No, no, I can just lead the second lady there alone. I am familiar with this road." Ye Xiayou frowned. Although she couldn't see it, she was just thoughtful. When she heard Ling Junjiang's words, she was different from the previous one. A few days ago, I always felt a little uncomfortable with my tone.
Jiang Xiaobai, who was standing at the door of the inner room with a long knife tied to his body, looked like an adult and said very responsibly: "It's enough for me. I can find the way if my ancestor shows me the way. I can take care of my aunt."
"I'll lead the way." Ergou volunteered.
"I know the way to the city better than anyone else." Ye Xiayou had his own concerns and declined with a smile: "No need to bother, you wait for the news in the village, I'll go and see what's going on. Where can I go?" What's the big deal?" Ling Junjiang stood at the door, looking at Ye Xieyou who was about to get up. Contrary to the alienation he had shown towards the Ye family siblings in the past few days, he echoed: "Second Miss, we have an idea, let's do it. Don't get involved. You all just wait at home. I'll see off the second young lady and give them directions." She always felt that Ling Junjiang's performance today was a little abnormal, so Ye Xiayou directly refused: "Xiao Bai and I Just two people, don’t bother Brother Ling.”
"No, no, no, what the second lady said is out of context, isn't it, no trouble, no trouble." Ling Junjiang's insistence made Ye Xiayou frown slightly. She was not used to other people's stubbornness, especially the stubbornness shown when they were against her own wishes.
Ye Xia'er ignored this persistent teacher and said to Jiang Xiaobai, "Let's go." Seeing the stubborn Ye Xia'er and Jiang Xiaobai leaving him one after another, Ling Junjiang curled his lips and disapproved.
After the aunt and nephew left the courtyard, Ling Junjiang suddenly said: "I'll go take a look and tell them a shortcut." As he spoke, the teacher, who never let others know what he was thinking, also left immediately.
The old village leader watched the three people leaving one after another, and ordered Ergou: "Follow me quickly, and remember to follow Miss Ergo in everything." Ergou agreed and ran out of the house.
Jiang Xiaolong muttered: "Second Aunt won't let others go." The old village leader shook his head and sighed,
"What a stubborn girl." Ye Xiayou, who was not far away from causing trouble to others, would naturally not act rashly. She was a blind person, and she was leading an ignorant young man like Jiang Xiaobai, which was definitely not what she should do.
Ye Xiayou said: "I'll pass by your silly uncle's house later. Go find him and ask him to come with us to Phoenix City." Although she didn't understand why my aunt didn't need anyone else to insist on finding that silly uncle who only knew how to have fun. Jiang Xiaobai Still obediently agreed.
When he was young, he always liked to wrap up a bag of dry cigarettes when he had nothing to do. As a result, Wang Dasha, who now has black teeth, was naturally very willing to do this. Without saying a word, he put down his work and took his aunt and nephew out of the village to Phoenix City. .
The people in the village are very simple, and after a few days of getting along with them, they are all straightforward and straightforward. Wang Dasha's mother-in-law also wanted to help after hearing this, saying that she was taking care of the second young lady of the Ye family who had trouble with her eyes. After all, the grown man is not attentive, so I'm afraid that my family's lavishness will offend the young lady from a wealthy family.
Of course, Ye Xiayou, who was not so particular, declined politely, saying it was okay. After all, they didn't dare to insist too much on the young lady from a big place in their eyes. The woman just repeatedly told her family to take good care of the second young lady and not to spend too much money.
In the end, you are kind-hearted, and if you raise your head three feet high, God will protect you.
