Although Sheng Weiqiao had been to this valley once the year before last, he was very embarrassed because of Xu Baomo's stealing of sea melon seeds, so that Gongsun Yingdun could not eat the wild game promised by Gongsun Yingdun, so the group left the fifth day of the first month and hurriedly went back.

So the road from the cave to the beach, it was the first time she had walked.
"Is it a mistake? There is no road here at all!" So much so that she walked for a while, and for the third time straightened the hat that was crooked by the branches and leaves on the side of the road, and asked Sheng Sleeping Crane with special suspicion, "Is it that you haven't come back for too long, and you have a bad memory?"
Sheng Shenghe looked down at her, Sheng Weiqiao was not short among girls of the same age, but compared to him, who was already half a head taller than Sheng Lanci, he looked petite and exquisite.
It was his old clothes from two years ago, so wide and ill-fitting that the sleeves looked empty despite several layers of straps.
Because there was no umbrella in the cave, Sheng Sleeping Crane finally found two hats, which were just right for him, but they were worn on Sheng Weiqiao's head as if they were holding an umbrella - this would Sheng Weiqiao cover the excess clothes with one hand, and hold the edge of the hat with the other, and the overly spacious sleeves slipped from her arms, and were blown up by the oncoming sea breeze, all the way back to her shoulders, revealing a white lotus arm, which was shining in the gloomy sky.
"There have never been many people in this valley, and a small road back then was opened for my brother himself, but now two years have passed, of course I can't see it. Sheng Sleeping Crane saw that she was patronizing to prevent the hat from being beaten down by the surrounding grass and trees and asked if she had made a mistake, and she didn't notice the situation that she was about to run out, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull, and she reached out to pull down her sleeves for her, "You wait a while, and open the way for your brother again." ”
He led Sheng Weiqiao to the valley empty-handed yesterday, and now the only weapon he has is the dagger that never leaves his body.
Although this dagger runs freely in the hands of Sheng Sleeping Crane, it can be said that it is like a finger, cutting branches and broken leaves along the way seems to be an understatement, after all, it is too short, and occasionally encountering a section of the road where the branches and leaves are particularly luxuriant, the brother and sister have to stop and wait, and the Sheng Sleeping Crane can clear all the obstacles.
After finally getting out of the woods and seeing an open sandy beach in front of him and the turbulent sea in the distance, Sheng Weiqiao didn't have time to be disappointed that there was probably no boat to pick up the situation today, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Xu Baomo's soft sword is not a common thing, otherwise brother, if you have one now, we will be much easier!"
"Speaking of our Brother Xu. Sheng Sleeping Crane took out an old handkerchief from his sleeve, slowly wiped the grass and tree juice on the dagger, and asked with a smile, "In the past two years, the Xu family has sent people to the door almost every month to plead, and my sister finally takes the initiative to mention him now, but I feel almost angry?"
"When my brother beat him up for me earlier, he was already angry!" Sheng Weiqiao spread his hands, "I didn't mean to mention him before, but I didn't want to mention him before, but I saw that my father didn't want to mention him, and I was afraid that I would worry my father and mother if I said it, so I deliberately didn't talk about him-Speaking of which, my brother went to Chang'an this time, if you do well in the exam, maybe the Son of Heaven will also give you a similar soft sword? That soft sword is easy to use!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled and said: "Good girl likes that sword so much, according to my brother, you might as well simply agree to the Xu family's invitation, marry and be a wife of the world!
"I don't want him!" Sheng Weiqiao heard this, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and he snorted, "That person's temperament is half a catty to eight taels with our second uncle, and there are not no good men in the world, why should I marry him like this?!"
After thinking about it, he added firmly, "Even if he is the only man in the world, I would rather never marry for the rest of my life than live with someone like him!"
Sheng Shenghe suddenly felt that he was in a good mood, pinched her cheek with a smile, and said, "Good girl is worthy of being a brother's sister, and she really has ambition!"
"Brother, look at this sea, will there be a boat to pick us up today?" Sheng Weiqiao had no interest in Xu Baomo for a long time, even if the old marquis Xu had been tirelessly recommending him as his only grandson, so he quickly diverted his attention, looked at the magnificent sea in front of him, and said sadly, "Why do I look a little hanging?"
Sheng Sleeping Crane casually glanced at the sea a few times, and said "um": "In this situation, it is dangerous for big ships to go to sea, and they can only come up by sampan." Even if the eldest brother had the courage to send a boat, he wouldn't have the courage to let you go up...... Surely no one will pick it up today, let's go back and pack up and prepare for another night!"
"But Gongsun Sea Lord, I mean brother, what should you do with your eldest brother?" Sheng Weiqiao hesitated when he heard this, but still said, "Let's guess yesterday that he was most likely tripped up and couldn't send a boat to pick him up in time, this night has passed, and I don't know if he can't pick it up because of the weather, or if he can't pick it up even if the weather is good?"
"We're trapped in the valley now, and even if we know any bad news, we can't do anything about it, so let's just assume that everything is fine, and we can't pick it up because of the weather!" Sheng Sleeping Crane's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled, "After all, it's time for lunch, and our lunch is still running around!"
His nonchalant attitude suddenly made Sheng Weiqiao suspicious: "Do you know what's going on outside?!Could it be that you already knew about Taniguchi's trap and the weather in the past two days, and deliberately tricked me into joining you?"
When he said this, Sheng Weiqiao's eyes were firmly fixed on the expression on his face, refusing to miss the slightest.
But Sheng Shenghe didn't even move his eyebrows, and said calmly: "Good girl, what you said is as if your brother has some bad thoughts about you - you ask yourself, is your brother such a person?"
Sheng Weiqiao thought about it last night, this person refused to ask for a futon, even if he offered to cover it, he would have resigned, if he hadn't found an excuse for being afraid of thunder, this person would probably be frostbitten this morning...... In this case, it is really unconvincing to say that he has bad intentions for himself.
However, his mind turned, and he still doubted: "You deliberately tricked me into the valley and didn't necessarily have any intentions for me, maybe it was for other purposes?"
Sheng Sleeping Hexin said that you finally guessed, but his face was still unfazed, and he smiled: "Oh, what is the purpose?
"I'm going to guess and ask you?" Sheng Weiqiao slapped him angrily, "Isn't it? You guys are too good, you hide this from me, and you don't let me know that--don't you think I'm a girl and an outsider, so you don't tell me half a word about important things?!
Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at her angry cheeks, touched her chin, and smiled: "No, no, no, good girl, the reason why I hide it from you is not because you are a girl, after all, whether it is a father or a brother, it is not a patriarchal person, right?"
The corners of his mouth went up, and he smiled narrowly, "The reason why I don't tell you many things is mainly because you are too good at talking! Especially in front of people like my aunt! And then we don't care about these things, but we don't want people like my aunt to know, so we can only just not tell you!"
Sheng Weiqiao suddenly felt that she was being underestimated, and she said angrily: "Am I the kind of person who is easy to be tricked?!"
Then she thought of the lotus banquet two years ago, Xuan Yu Feng lightly asked from her the story that Sheng Lanci had made up for Sheng Sleeping Crane's life experience, and not long ago, Xuan Yu Feng once again inadvertently asked her about the detailed process of practicing courage in the cemetery from her mouth - pity her struggling to the end, and she just concealed the part where Sheng Sleeping Crane changed her clothes!
Swallowing blood silently, Sheng Weiqiao said unwillingly, "That's also because of those things, I don't think it's okay to tell my aunt! If it's really news that can't be spread outside, even if my aunt asks, I definitely won't say it!"
"So you think you can keep a secret?" Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled, "If that's the case......
Seeing him groaning, Sheng Weiqiao's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that this brother was moved by herself, and finally planned to reveal the inside story to herself--she subconsciously put on the most well-behaved and pleasing expression--and then listened to this brother, oh no, this sleeping crane said in a smug tone, "Brother is also very good at keeping secrets!
Sheng Weiqiao: "......"
If it weren't for the sleeping crane now, she wouldn't be able to live alone in this valley, and she wanted to pounce on him and strangle him!!
"After we go back in two days, the obedient girl will know!" Sheng Sleeping Crane saw her anger and didn't have any sincere comfort, "Sooner or later, why should you be anxious, right?"
"So you admit that you expected us to spend a few days in this valley?!" Sheng Wei grabbed his shirt angrily and said angrily, "Then why don't you let me bring a maid?!!!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at her for a moment with a speechless expression, and said faintly: "This is as if you made these two braids yourself?"
He said, "Your two maids usually follow you to eat and drink spicy food, saying that they are maids, and they are also squeamish children who want to scream when they see a cockroach, is it not enough to have you as a brother?"
"You are a burden!!" Sheng Wei stomped his foot angrily, grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously, before gritting his teeth and saying, "You don't know how many years you have lived in this valley, of course you are familiar with this place! I have only been here with Lu Jin and Lu Qi for a few times? I haven't even traveled around this valley until now, what's so strange that you are not like a fish in water?! If you go to a place that we are familiar with but you are not familiar with, you can see if you are cumbersome or not!?"
Sheng Sleeping Crane smiled leisurely: "This is really not necessarily - after all, there are so many things for the brotherhood!"
Then his placket was let go, his hands were pulled up, and he stuffed a handful of beaded hairpins, ear pendants, small combs, twisted silk bracelets, etc., Sheng Weiqiao sneered: "Chaoyun near the fragrant bun, cross bun, spirit snake bun, Suiyun bun, double screw bun, hanging bun, falling bun, falling horse bun, lily bun, hanging bun, back to the heart bun...... Whatever you want, Lu Jin or Lu Qi, with this little thing in your hand, within half an hour, any of the above hairstyles can be combed out for me! I don't have high requirements for you: before it gets dark today, you can comb whatever you want, and I will admit that I and my maid are a burden, otherwise, you will obediently take back the word 'burden' for me!!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane stared at the pile of small things in his hand for a moment, raised his head and smiled at her, and said resolutely: "Actually, being a brother is a burden!"
“…… Hmph!" Sheng Weiqiao saw that he recognized his mistake quickly, his face softened a little, and he took away the beads and flowers, not forgetting to taunt a few more words, "It's so powerful, it's not that you can't even comb the simplest double screw!"
Lao Tzu is not your maid, what kind of double screw do you learn?!
Sheng Sleeping Crane slandered in his heart, but when you combed your double snail bun, Lao Tzu especially wanted to draw your beard and write the word king on your beard - well, I forgot last time, I should have blackened the tip of my nose!
He imagined Sheng Weiqiao combing his double snail bun, his face was painted with a beard, the word king was written on his forehead, the tip of his nose was painted with a small black dot, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend and bend, and he decided not to say it in a particularly good mood to anger this girl.
However, Sheng Weiqiao's complaint was not over: "Even if you don't let me bring in the people who are waiting, what about the things? Why don't you prepare things neatly? Not to mention the others, I have to bring extra bedding, my changing dress, dressing table, tea set, these must be brought, right?!"
"Good girl, if you fill the cave with the things you want now, so that you can live comfortably and happily here, it will be like at home!" Sheng Sleeping Crane sighed, stretched out his fingers and flicked his hat, and said gently, "You said that the person who set a trap in the valley mouth is a pig, will he guess that Brother Wei already knows everything about what he has done to him when he sends those things to the valley one by one?"
Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, and couldn't help but feel sad, touching the two braids hanging on his chest, with tears in his eyes: "In other words, I can only live like this unkempt in the future?!How long do you want to stay in the valley?!How long do you want to stay in the valley?--what can't you discuss with your father, let your father go out to help you solve it, you have to pull me to accompany you to suffer! And even if you can't send more things over to prepare, at least learn to comb a double screw or something?!You don't do anything, are you embarrassed?!"
Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at her for a long time, and after a while, he pinched her cheek vigorously, and sighed: "Who has been beating or scolding her brother since she entered the valley, and then she has to stretch out her hand for the clothes that serve her brother to open her mouth, and at the end of the day, you have to accompany your brother even when you sleep for fear of thunder -- and now you still say that you don't do anything for your brother! Last night's barbecue and the fish soup in the morning seem to have been fed to the fifth brother, right?!"
He sighed bitterly, "Good girl, such shameless words, you actually said so justifiably-for my brother to call you bad again from now on!!"
