Lin Wan nodded, without saying a word, tied the rope on the other pulley to his waist, and pulled it, feeling very strong.

Seeing that Lin Wan was ready, Zhao Liniang smiled slightly and explained, "This is what I made with Xiaoqi, Xiaobai, and Xiaohei. We don't know martial arts, and we can't find someone to help us every time, so we came up with this solution. When you go down from here, you use this root to tie the rope to the peach tree, and when you come back from the valley of flowers, you use the rope tied to the ginkgo tree. You see, under that ginkgo tree there is a wooden ladder that we usually use. ”

Lin Wan followed Zhao Liniang's fingers, and sure enough, she saw a long wooden ladder on the trunk of the ginkgo tree. The ginkgo tree is much higher than the cave, and the rope is tied to the top of a large branch, and several small pulleys are hung on it, just enough to step on and slide over.

Zhao Liniang thought that Lin Wan was scared, and comforted: "Wan'er, don't be afraid, we have tried many times, and there is no danger." ”

Lin Wan felt that this was not much different from Hanging Weiya, and she didn't feel afraid, nodded and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm not so timid, I'm not afraid." ”

Zhao Liniang looked at Lin Wan suspiciously, smiled, didn't say anything, walked to the entrance of the cave, grabbed the rope, kicked her feet, and slowly slid down, getting faster and faster halfway, and when she was about to reach land, she slowed down again and slowly fell to the ground. Sure enough, I have practiced many times, and the length and speed of the rope are mastered.

Lin Wan was a little excited, feeling like he was filming, he rushed to the entrance of the cave quickly, jumped over, and then opened his arms and flew down, with an extremely beautiful posture.

Zhao Liniang watched Lin Wan fly over like this on the other side, she was shocked, staring at Lin Wan intently, and when she was about to land, she greeted her, wanting to catch her.

Lin Wan only felt that he flew out of the water curtain hole like a bird, and some water droplets fell on his body, face, and head, and then he rushed into the sunlight and fell into his mother's warm embrace.

Zhao Liniang really caught Lin Wan, but she was knocked back a few steps by Lin Wan's momentum, and it wasn't until a big hand behind her blocked her body that she finally stood still.

Lin Wan held Zhao Qingpeng's arm, stood firmly, and then woke up from the excitement just now, and said embarrassedly: "Mother, Uncle Qingpeng, it was Wan'er who was greedy for fun, and didn't hurt you, right?"

Zhao Liniang shook her head helplessly, and blamed: "You kid, you are too bold! In case you rush down and we don't catch you, didn't you hit the tree?"

Lin Wan lowered her head, admitted her mistake with a smile, and said, "Mother, Wan'er knows it's wrong, Wan'er won't dare next time." ”

Zhao Liniang sighed lightly and said angrily: "You are really still a child! You must remember that when you are about to land, you have to pull the rope to reduce your speed, understand?"

Lin Wan nodded honestly, took Zhao Liniang's hand, and said coquettishly: "Yes, mother, my daughter remembers." ”

Zhao Liniang looked at her well-behaved daughter, and couldn't help but show a smile, patted Lin Wan's hand distressedly, and said, "Let's go, go with my mother to water these flowers, and your Uncle Qingpeng is responsible for pruning." After speaking, he took Lin Wan to the small wooden house, took out a bucket, a scoop and a kettle from the wooden house, and then returned to the waterhole to draw water with a bucket.

After fetching water, the water in the bucket was poured into the kettle, and then Lin Wan carried the kettle with both hands to sprinkle the flowers, and Zhao Liniang carried the bucket and watered the tree with a water scoop.

Hongfan and the horses were grazing at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and when they saw Lin Wan coming, they were very excited and ran over quickly. When Lin Wan was working, it was running around beside it, and Lin Wan was playing with it while sprinkling water on the flowers, and had a lot of fun!

Lin Wan also took a bath for Hongfan with a watering can, brushing its red mane cleanly and shining in the sun.

In the morning, Zhao Qingpeng and Zhao Liniang had already done most of the work here, and the remaining part, with Lin Wan's joining, the three of them had completed it in less than an hour.

Lin Wan and Zhao Liniang sat in the sun among the flowers in front of the wooden house, and Zhao Qingpeng was still busy under a big tree, as if he was doing something with wooden planks and vines.

Zhao Qingpeng used a short knife to cut a thick wooden board into a rectangle, cut it very flat, and polished it with sand and stone to make it very smooth. Then a lot of vines were cut, and little by little they had to be kneaded into a rope as thick as a baby's wrist.

Rubbing the rope is a very time-consuming job, and Zhao Qingpeng has been rubbing it for more than an hour, and it has not been completed. Lin Wan had already fallen asleep in Zhao Liniang's arms.

Zhao Liniang gently hugged Lin Wan, with a happy smile on her face. His eyes were fixed on Lin Wan's sleeping face for a moment, and his heart was full of tenderness.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Wan slowly opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Qingpeng in the distance, turned her head to look at Zhao Liniang, and called vaguely: "Mother." ”

Zhao Liniang nodded slightly, and responded in a low voice: "Well, woke up?"

Lin Wan nodded, sat up straight, and asked hesitantly while helping Zhao Liniang rub her legs that were numb by herself, "Mother, do you plan to stay here forever?"

Zhao Liniang was stunned, there was a hint of dodging in her eyes, and there was also a trace of dazedness and struggle.

Lin Wan didn't continue to ask, gently helped Zhao Liniang finish rubbing her legs, and began to rub her hands, arms and shoulders again, quietly waiting for Zhao Liniang's answer.

After a long time, Zhao Liniang finally spoke and said softly: "I like here, but I don't belong here, I always have to go back." It was my home, with my parents, sister-in-law, husband and children, and I couldn't let them go. ”

Lin Wan didn't expect that Zhao Liniang still regarded Lin Zhihuai as her husband, and looked at her suspiciously, but did not ask the question in her heart.

Zhao Liniang lowered her eyes, didn't look at Lin Wan, and continued to murmur: "Although life here is very hard, it is very fulfilling, which makes me feel very free and comfortable." However, I am not happy here, I am not at ease. I miss my family, my children, I worry about you and your brother, I want to be there for you. ”

Lin Wan's eyes were red, she gently hugged Zhao Liniang, and called in a low voice: "Mother, mother, I am by your side! ”

Zhao Liniang's tears flowed down, hugged Lin Wan's body tightly, closed her eyes, nodded gently, and sighed in a low voice: "My good boy, my mother really misses you so much......"

The mother and daughter hugged each other for a while, and then they slowly let go of each other and smiled.

Lin Wan bit her lower lip lightly, looked up at Zhao Liniang's loving eyes, and finally asked the question in her heart. She lowered her voice and asked word by word, "Mother, you and Uncle Qingpeng ......"
