Mei'er teased Xiao Chenyong for a while, and inadvertently raised her eyes, but saw Mingchen's expression soft, looking at herself intently, she felt inappropriate, but it was difficult to reprimand, so she could only pretend not to see, and continued to hang her head and play with Xiao Chenyong.

Xiao Chenyong's small hands were holding her two fingers and shaking them up and down, giggling heartily.

"My son has never been so happy"

Mingchen on the other side suddenly spit out a sentence.

Mei'er's heart moved, the father and son depended on each other on the mountain, and their lives must have been quite lonely, and it was rare for him to be a big man who could take care of the child properly.

Xiao Chenyong grinned, put his head in Mei'er's arms, half-squinted his eyes as an invitation to pity, Mei'er gently stroked his nose, and said casually: "Master Mingchen, have you always lived in the mountains?" ”

"Uh, yes."

"When I was in Fuzhong, I heard that the green mountains outside the city are a treasure of feng shui, and it is also a traditional burial place, and the people of Los Angeles will bury their ancestors here, and there are also many woodcutters and hunters here on weekdays, but I have never heard anyone say that there are people living on the mountain, do you live here or later relocated here?"

Mingchen smiled shallowly and said: "The mountain is so big, there are fronts and sides, ordinary people taboo that this is a traditional burial place, afraid of ghosts and gods, they come and go in a hurry during the day, and they dare not trample on their feet at night, so they naturally don't know that there are people living on the mountain." ”

"How many families are there on this mountain?"

"My father and son live here."

Mei'er glanced at him suspiciously, under the soft light, the person opposite sat firmly like Mount Tai, smiling and smiling, so handsome that the outline of his facial features was unbelievably not like a person in the world, she suddenly remembered what he said: "The snake is outside, you will go and see it later." ”

That understatement burst into her ears, and a chill ran down her spine.

That big, scared brown python is outside the house? As long as its huge head hit the wooden house, the wooden house would collapse immediately if it did not fall apart, why didn't he have the slightest fear?

"Then why aren't you afraid of ghosts and gods, and take your son to build a house here and live here?"

Mingchen stretched out his hand to stroke his forehead, feeling quite difficult to answer.

Mei'er's whole body trembled slightly, could it be that this person is the embodiment of the mountain charm? Her eyes showed timidity, and she looked in the direction of the window, and there was a thick swarthy outside, and the darkness was palpitating.

This kind of darkness is not the same as waking up in the dark night, and the darkness I see is completely different, deep and distant, as if to suck people into it and merge with it.

She sat up straight and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you a human or a mountain elf?" ”

Mingchen leaned forward slightly, and a warm stream of air fell on Mei'er's cheeks between his breaths.

"I've heard that mountain spirits and stone monsters don't have heat, don't they? Can you sense my temperature at this moment? ”

Mei'er looked at a daze and moved back.

"The old grandmother in the house does say that, but I don't know, I haven't seen it, are you a human or a monster?"

Mingchen laughed.

Xiao Chenyong put her small mouth to her finger and bit it gently, Mei'er suddenly came to her senses, gently pulled out her finger, touched the child's head, and said, "You are ...... behaved"

"My son is starting to teeth, and he wants to bite out everything, and during this time, my fingers have been bitten several times."

Mingchen raised his hand in front of her, and there were indeed deep or shallow crack marks on the tips of several fingers, Mei'er sighed, and said to Xiao Chen Yong with a smile: "You are so powerful, you actually bit your father like this"

Xiao Chenyong grinned, two deep small mouths appeared on the fleshy face, Mei'er gently rubbed Xiao Chenyong's face, warm and soft, this is completely different from the legendary cold demon Such a cute child, it will not be the embodiment of demons and monsters, right?

"Are you afraid? Don't be afraid, Mei'er. ”

Mei'er's whole body trembled slightly, she was really scared.

"Mei'er, don't be afraid, Mingchen is not a villain, I hate to mingle in the world, and my son is too young to leave me at any time, anyway, there is a lot of supply on this mountain, and I can barely survive on the mountain, so I have been hiding in the deep mountains and not seeing outsiders." "You live here, why don't you see your family?"

Mingchen's eyes flashed, looking at Xiao Chenyong in her arms, and said with a faint smile: "Yong'er is my family!" My father and son have always lived on this mountain. ”

Mei'er gently touched Xiao Chenyong's little chubby feet, and wondered, "How old is this child?" ”

"It's almost a year old."

Mei'er lowered her eyes and looked at Xiao Chenyong in her arms, it seemed that he was indeed just a toddler about one year old.

She had a strong question in her heart - what about the child's mother? This Ming Chen said that his mother was in the guest and was not at home, and said that since the birth of this child, his mother has only hugged him once, could it be that his mother left the house after giving birth to the child and disappeared?

Such a handsome and majestic Langjun, such a lovely and lively son, why is his wife willing to abandon it? And this Mingchen just stayed on the mountain with peace of mind, and did not go to find his wife, but just said softly, "My lady is in the guest"

Or, after the child was born, Mingchen secretly carried the child up the mountain without telling his mother

Mingchen looked at her quietly, letting her secretly guess in her heart, and slowly spoke: "Mei'er, don't be afraid, if I have bad intentions for you, I won't bring you back." Well, I'll deliver a letter to your house early tomorrow morning, and ask your father to come and pick you up. ”

Mei'er was pleasantly surprised, slightly ashamed, there are many gentlemen in the world who escape from the world, look at the appearance of this person, enter the world as a beautiful son in the world, provoke many deep boudoir girls to climb the wall, but he would rather be in love with his lover and son on the green mountain, less of the world's troubles, you can swim, live the same comfortable, it is also a wonderful thing.

"Thank you, Childe, I don't go out of the house much, my knowledge is shallow, and my words are inappropriate, which makes Childe smile."

Mingchen smiled and said: "There are all kinds of things in the world, good and evil alternately, and your father is also a wise man, deliberately building a beautiful courtyard, so that you can live between the mountains and rivers for a long time, without the hustle and bustle of the world, it is also a good thing." ”

Mei'er smiled and said, "Childe is free and easy." ”

She frowned, and finally felt uneasy about something in her heart, but she was confused for a while, and she couldn't think of what it was.

Mingchen suddenly whispered: "Mei'er." ”

Mei'er was suddenly startled, and immediately woke up to something, since this person has been in the mountains all the time, how can he know his name?

"Master Mingchen, you and I have never known each other in our lives, why do you know my name?"

Mingchen smiled, and Shi Shiran said: "Although Xiaosheng has lived on the mountain for a long time, there are also many woodcutters and hunters and medicine pickers who go into the mountains to hunt for curiosities. ”

Mei'er opened her mouth and stammered, her face was red, there was such a thing?

How did my name get through to the people of Los Angeles? And even if you know that the daughter of the Luoshan people is called Mei'er, how do you know that I am the daughter of the Luoshan people?

Mingchen didn't wait for her to ask, turned around and walked into the room, and after a while, he brought out a pot of wine and two dark blue cups, he poured the wine, and said: "Let me think about it, how long have I lived on this mountain, well, seventeen years, I remember that the apple tree in front of the house was only as tall as me, and now it has been hanging fruit for many years, when I was idle and had nothing to do, I picked the apples, added honey, and made cider, how about you taste it?" ”

Mei'er was hesitating, and the amber luster of the wine had been gently moved in front of her, and the swaying wine overflowed with a sweet aroma.

"Sweet and sour, mellow and delicious, you give it a try."

She involuntarily twisted up her wine glass and took a sip lightly, and sure enough, her mouth was soft and fragrant.

"It's really good wine, I can't imagine that Childe's winemaking skills are so skillful."

"Then you drink more"

“”

Mei'er wanted to drink only one or two sips to suit the occasion, but as soon as the cider entered her stomach, she felt that the warmth of the apple cider melted in the dantian, and it poured into the limbs and bones, which was indescribably comfortable.

She miraculously poured the glass of wine into her mouth.

Mingchen immediately poured her another glass full of cider; "Delicious? Then drink a few more glasses. ”

"Enough, I just drink a little fruit wine on weekdays"

The wine was pushed in front of her again, the amber wine glowing with a blurry light, and she held her head, her slender fingers twisting the glass again.

"Is this wine intoxicating?"

"It depends on your mood when you drink, some people don't get drunk after a thousand glasses, and some people fall asleep after a drop of wine, since you can drink a glass and not get drunk, then this wine can't get you drunk."

"You can't drink too much"

She looked at the swaying wine in a daze, the gently undulating wine was like the waves raised by the sea, and she actually saw a confused back in the wine!

The cup fell to the ground with a bang, and the fragrance suddenly filled the surroundings, Xiao Chenyong, who was gnawing on her sleeve, was startled, raised her head and looked at Mei'er motionlessly.

"Niangniang"

Mei'er closed her eyes and shook her head, back? I actually saw a back in the wine - although it was far away, but the back was graceful, and it was clearly the back of a woman, a very familiar woman's back.

Xiao Chenyong stretched out his hand to pull her hair and pulled it hard, and there was already a coquettish meaning in his voice: "Niangniang"

Mei'er only felt a pain in her scalp, she opened her eyes, and met Xiao Chenyong's pure and dirty eyes, she hurriedly smiled, comforting the child: "You are good, I am not your mother, you call me sister"
