"What are you doing down here!"

Ye Qingxue saw that he had put his head under the table for a while, and when she realized that she was wearing loose clothes, she couldn't help but scream in a panic, and at the same time clamped a pair of plump and slender jade legs.

Chen Mingyuan woke up, hurriedly gathered his mind and sat back in his position, glancing at the blush of her demeanor, as well as the shyness and charm rippling between her bright eyes and eyebrows, and couldn't help but shake her heart, thinking of the startling glance of the right talent, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.

I only suddenly noticed that this strong woman, who has always been cold and arrogant, resolute and stubborn, didn't know when the Dao began, and she had a little more softness and grace of a temperamental woman, which was very exciting.

When the atmosphere was beautiful, Ye Qingxue only felt that her cheeks were hot and her breath was short and disordered, and her two greasy white hands didn't know where to put it, so she had to pinch the corners of her clothes tightly, fluttering her eyelashes and not daring to look at him directly, when she saw the bird he caught in her hand, she was slightly stunned, and whispered: "This bird seems to be injured......"

Chen Mingyuan took the opportunity to shift his attention to this 'culprit', and after some observation, he found that the bird's size was much larger than that of ordinary birds, with black and white feathers, and its appearance was simple and clumsy, "It seems that the wings have been scratched by something." ”

"Show it to me." Ye Qingxue stretched out her hand to take the bird, looked at it for a moment, and smiled: "Sure enough, it's a partridge." ”

"Partridge?"

"yes, it's a breed endemic to the neighborhood." Ye Qingxue teased the bird with great interest, and said eloquently: "This bird also has a common name in the mouth of the locals, called Acacia Bird, do you listen to its chirping like 'Brother Can't Do It'?" It seems to persuade people not to travel far, so it is easy to arouse people's homesickness, in ancient times, there were often literati who used it to chant poems against it, and the more famous is Su Shi wrote, 'I don't hear the letter of the wild goose on the sand, and listen to the partridge cry between the bamboos'. ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled, "It sounds quite novel, this bird is also in love with us, let's go back and hand it over to the hotel for treatment and breeding." Immediately, seeing that it was not too early, he got up and took his leave.

When the door closed, Ye Qingxue lowered her eyes, silently stared at the partridge bird in the palm of her hand, and said dreamily: "I don't hear the letter of the wild goose on the sand, and I listen to the partridge cry between the bamboos, and this situation can only ......be known by falling flowers."

The wind blows the bamboos and rustles, and this spring night seems to have a little more tenderness.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, after the group had breakfast in the hotel, Mu Taotao proposed to go to Qingtan Village for another day.

"Today is the third black rice festival in the third month of the lunar calendar, I heard Qianyi say that it can be lively, not only Qingtan Village, all the She ethnic gathering places are celebrating, like the Spring Festival, yesterday the villagers also invited us to play it." Momoko's face was full of interest.

Yin Qingning and the others have no opinions, they are busy with work on weekdays, and it is not bad to go out for a visit once in a while.

Chen Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Go play, I still have something." Then he called the driver Lao Xu, got in the car and went straight to the direction of Lishan City, tomorrow is Qingming, since it is not far away, he wants to pay homage to Qiao Lao's tombstone.

Helplessly, a few people went to Qingtan Village first, and sure enough, as rumored, as soon as they arrived in the village, they saw a lively event, and the villagers were gathering together, singing and dancing.

Because of yesterday's incident, the villagers received the group very warmly, and Lan Qianyi acted as a guide, leading a few people to play around the village.

"Qianyi, what are you doing around that tree?"

Peach pointed to the big banyan tree halfway up the mountain, and saw a group of She girls around, almost each holding a bamboo tube in their hands, and laughter came out from time to time.

"It is a marriage tree, and every year at the beginning of spring, girls from the village and nearby will come and write their love words to their beloved man on a slip of paper, stuff it into a bamboo tube and hang it on the tree." Lan Qianyi said in a colorful voice: "When it is midsummer, a man will come over, rely on the code left by the woman to find the bamboo tube, take out the note, and look at it, if the two people's minds can match, then this marriage will be completed." Peach, Sister Ye, do you want to try it? It's very effective. ”

Momoko's face turned red and she muttered, "I don't have anyone I like, who do I write it for?" ”

"It's okay, that tree can also be used to pray for blessings and make wishes." As he spoke, Lan Qianyi ran forward and asked for two bamboo tubes and handed them to Peaches and Ye Qingxue.

Ye Qingxue held the bamboo tube silently for a while, and while no one was paying attention, she took out the blank paper and quickly wrote a paragraph, and then stuffed it into the bamboo tube, at this moment she was already blushing and her heart was beating and her chest was rising and falling.

"Sister Ye, I'll help you hang it up!" As soon as Lan Qianyi took the bamboo tube, he stepped on the stool, put his toes on tiptoe and hung it on the treetops, while urging: "Peach, are you okay?" ”

"What's the hurry, I still don't know who to write to......"

Peaches locked her eyebrows, meditated, and was thinking about whether to pray for herself, when she suddenly found a black shadow appearing beside her, turned her head and glanced at it casually, her pupils shrank, and she looked incredulous, and said, "Mu, Mu......"

Ye Qingxue was engrossed in looking at the bamboo tube being hung on the branches, and when she noticed the strangeness of the peach, she looked back, and when she saw the emerald green and graceful shadow that was standing, the whole person was also stunned.

…………

Thanks to the opening of the expressway, the drive from Jinxi Township to Lishan City was greatly shortened, and Chen Mingyuan arrived in Xianyun Town in just an hour's drive.

Revisiting the old place, Chen Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little more, leaving Lao Xu to wait at the entrance of the village, he walked into the village alone, and walked all the way to the mountain.

In the past three years, the scenery of the mountain road does not seem to have changed much, and everywhere you look, there is a sea of verdant bamboo, accompanied by the loud sound of bamboo waves in the distance, and the trees are slowly swaying.

Qiao Lao's tomb, the grass on the grave is new green, revealing delicate branches and buds.

Chen Mingyuan walked here and stopped, looked at the bluestone tombstone, stood solemnly for a long time, and at the end, he leaned over and pulled out the few weeds on the tomb, and then bent down deeply and saluted, and then turned around and walked.

After walking along the winding path for a while, I saw the small bamboo house in the quiet forest.

Pushing open the door of the house, Chen Mingyuan looked around at Xiao Suo's scene, slowly walked to the bench, stretched out his hand to wipe the gray layer a few times, and then sat down gently, looking at the lush green outside, and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.

In this way, he stayed in the bamboo hut until noon and did not see any intention of leaving, and in the middle, Lao Xu came once and brought food and rice wine purchased from the villagers.

Lao Xu didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing his slow and logical demeanor, it seemed that he was waiting for someone.

Waiting, it was the sun slanting in the west, the sky was dusk, the old Xu Shou looked at the time at the foot of the mountain, and was hesitating whether to go up to remind him, and suddenly found that a young woman Xu Bu came, with a scarf around her neck, wrapped around half of her face below the nose, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she could vaguely see the excellent outline of her appearance, and her clear blue eyes were even more reverie, and the emerald gauze dress was worn on the body, like a slim lotus rippling on the water, and she glowed with a noble and reserved unique temperament. It faintly reveals endless gentleness like water, and the long hair and soft clothes like a waterfall sway with the breeze, there is an indescribable elegant freehand.

When he was confused, it wasn't until the woman came to him that Lao Xu opened his mouth, who thought that the woman just glanced at him lightly, and walked up the hill by himself.

When she came to the courtyard, she pushed open the door directly, and with the dim and mottled light, her eyes drifted to the man who was sitting on the bamboo chair, and a faint smile appeared on her face, and she said in a gentle voice as crisp as a silver bell: "How long have you been waiting?" ”

"It's been a while." Chen Mingyuan looked up and saw her, and also smiled, as if he had expected her arrival.

The woman in emerald clothes tilted her head, her starry eyes flashed with a cunning look, and she said, "So persistent? Aren't you afraid of waiting in vain? ”

"I have faith in you." Chen Mingyuan smiled with relief: "Even if you really wait in vain, you can always feel at ease when you come here to see." ”

The woman in cuiyi shook her head, looking dissatisfied, and said: "I thought that half a year has passed, and you have worn an official hat underneath, and you will be more sleek and clever in dealing with people, but I didn't expect it to be so rigid." After a pause, his pupils flashed with warm joy and said: "But the performance can still be a passing grade, at least it proves that my vision is correct." ”

Chen Mingyuan didn't say anything more, got up and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to take off the scarf that covered her cheeks, but the woman in cuiyi took two steps back and said in a low voice: "There is a scar on your face, are you not afraid of being disappointed?" ”

Chen Mingyuan didn't seem to hear it, twisted the corner of the scarf with his fingers, slowly pulled it down, and gradually revealed that white as jade, beautiful face, it was Mu Jiayin, who had not been seen for a long time.

Seeing that Mu Jiayin raised his hand to cover his left cheek, Chen Mingyuan held her wrist, shook his head resolutely, and looked at her left cheek at the same time.

Mu Jiayin's slender eyelashes fluttered twice, and her words flashed: "Isn't it ugly......

Chen Mingyuan gently stroked the snowy cheeks with his arm, and smiled calmly: "It's still the same good-looking, but it's a little thinner, besides, as I said before, you have taken advantage of the benefits of the world, even if you break a little bit of appearance, it will be an endless blessing." ”

Mu Jiayin couldn't help laughing, and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's been more than half a year, and I don't feel any luck." But feeling the warmth brought by his touch, suddenly Xia Fei's cheeks flew down, and he couldn't help but lower his head and eyes, the tranquil beauty of the veins was like a flower blooming with thousands of purples and reds, and the first dew of roses could not be beautiful.

As everyone knows, to have such a blessing, but I am already satisfied.
