Lin Chun was very cautious and brought Rufeng with him, so that he could wait to accompany the cuckoo back.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the smoke and fog of Huiyan Lake on a rainy day were vast. The rain line kept pulling down, falling on the surface of the lake, hitting the big circles and small circles and breaking them layer by layer. The birds had taken refuge in the woods and grass, and there was no sound between heaven and earth except the roar of the rain, but there was a sense of silence.

Lin Chun propped up the raft and gently rocked it towards the other side of the lake.

He seemed a little absent-minded, looking at the misty forest ahead and silent.

The cuckoo and the wind sat in the middle of the raft, also staring at the water.

When he was about to dock, Lin Chun stopped and looked at the cuckoo.

The cuckoo also looked at him, and his dark eyes were particularly moist with mist.

"I'm going to go out and try it out and make a name for myself."

The boy said seriously to the cuckoo.

The cuckoo suddenly heard this, and didn't know how to answer it for a while.

She knew he had made the decision for her.

The last time Jiu'er said that he was going to join the army, he didn't have the idea of going out; went to Fucheng Academy to study, but he still had no idea of seeking fame; Now, he solemnly told her: He asked for fame and wealth!

She didn't know what to say to him.

He grew up and had his own ideas.

Lin Chun squatted down and looked at her quietly.

Under the hat, his young cheeks were very solemn, and a layer of fine fuzz faintly appeared on his lips, which made him look a little more mature.

The rain fell densely, and the sky and the earth became more and more foggy.

I don't know how long it took, but the wind suddenly shook its head vigorously, and the rain suddenly could not survive on its shiny fur. Scattered and scattered, waking up the young men and women in their eyes.

Only then did the cuckoo find out. They held hands and looked at each other for a long time.

When she woke up, she didn't pull out her hand. Still holding hands with him.

"It's okay, men always have to make a difference and go through something. Don't risk it for me, though. You must know that you still have your father, mother, brothers, and relatives, and the old lady has great hopes for you; And yourself. People must first establish themselves before they are qualified to take on things. Otherwise, empty promises are useless. Even if it was done at the time. One day I will regret it, because the price paid is too great. ”

Speaking of this, she thought of Li Dun.

They never swore an oath, and she never asked him how much he loved her. When they graduated, they broke up peacefully - when they couldn't, they embraced each other with love; A few years later he gave up a qiē and came back, and she became the happiest woman - when she could, they came together naturally, without even an explanation.

In this world, no one has to pay for another person.

Love. It is mutual understanding and tolerance!

Thinking of this, she raised her hand to stroke his cheek.

Lin Chun's face turned red, but the corners of his mouth cracked slightly.

When it was sweet, the cuckoo said, "You were very cute when you were a child. ”

Lin Chun's face suddenly collapsed. Cried: "Cuckoo! ”

The cuckoo smiled, turned his gaze to the mountain, and said, "Don't worry about me. It's best to come to this place less in the future. If someone finds out, I will be guilty of the Lin family. I don't live here—" Lin Chun was stunned. But she pointed to the mountain to the northwest - "I'm going to go up to Fengwei Mountain to have a look." I always felt that there was something wrong with that mountain. Grow that kind of tea, and the water is so good. It seems that the water of this lake also comes down from that mountain, and there must be many secrets. If there is a suitable place to live, I will move in with my aunt and them, so that they can hide from people's eyes and ears, and live comfortably. Although it is inconvenient to go up and down, it is just used to practice martial arts. ”

Lin Chun groaned, nodded and said, "This method is good." The eldest brother lives at the bottom of the mountain, and he is just the right time to be your eyes and ears. There is nothing lacking in this mountain, even cloth and salt, the uncle said, you don't have to go outside the mountain in the future, you can go directly to the cave under the wasp ridge to get it. You're only a few of you, and it's enough to transport it once every two months. ”

The cuckoo said happily: "It's still the godfather who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Next, the two talked about the imperial examination, officialdom, and Du Juan's life experience, as if they were talking about irrelevant dramas, and they were not nervous and worried.

In the mist and rain, a flock of wild ducks swam over.

They don't take the heavy rain seriously, they float on the surface of the water, they are in good spirits, and they will burrow their heads into the water and roll and play, this is their life.

Looking at these, Lin Chun was very reluctant, but he also knew that he had to go.

So, he told the cuckoo many words.

"Even if you know martial arts, don't risk running around. It's a trivial matter to let people find out, if you encounter danger, no one can save you except Uncle Yu. Go out with ...... like the wind."

No matter how much you say, you have to go when it's time to go.

So, without waiting for the raft to come to shore, he jumped on it, then turned and watched her standing on the raft, blending with the white rain and mist. Rufeng seemed to understand his thoughts, so he didn't follow, rubbed next to the cuckoo, and looked at him with her.

His heart was warm, and the situation of floating on the lake with her on a raft came to mind: he carried the wood stove onto the raft, caught the fish casually, killed it and cooked it in the pot, and then ate it together, watched the mountains and lakes together, the sun rose and the moon set, played the flute together, and slept peacefully......

But no!

If you want to live a life of farming, fishing, and hunting with her in Huiyan Valley for a long time, you must now go out, meet those who are troublesome to her, and solve the trouble once and for all.

After thinking about it, he no longer clinged to what was in front of him, and resolutely turned around and threw himself into the forest.

Rushing up to the north peak, and then looking back at the valley: there was a white mist at your feet, where you could still tell where the lake was and where the forest was, and she couldn't see her holding a raft.

He was a little empty in his heart, and he was reluctant to leave like this.

At this time, a wisp of flute sounded in the sea of clouds below, like geese circling and flying up the mountain.

He listened for a moment before he smiled softly, turned and ran away.

After Lin Chun returned to Fucheng, he studied wholeheartedly, and successively participated in the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination. When Master Zhou saw him like this, he knew that it would be difficult for him to enter again, so he did not order him to take the township examination, so that he could devote himself to studying again.

At the same time, he also made a name for himself by renovating water wheels, building water presses, installing water diversion projects, and innovating and improving some household and agricultural irrigation appliances.

He asked Zhou Fuzi about Du Juan's life experience. Zhou Fuzi didn't say it, but recommended him to Qin Jiong (Yin Jiong), the eighth prince of Yong, who was in charge of the household department. He sued Lin Chun. If you want to know the life of the cuckoo, you need to start with Prince Yong's mansion.

Mid-September. Lin Chun entered Beijing.

The eighth prince Qin Jiong and the ninth prince Qin Yan are twin brothers. Qin Yan was healthy, intelligent and sunny, and was made the crown prince at the age of nine, and was deeply supported by the courtiers, but unfortunately died young; The eighth prince has been weak since childhood, but he is generous and benevolent, and in recent years he has been diligent and cautious, and Emperor Zhengyuan missed the prince and hoped that he would be as healthy as his younger brother, so he was given the name "Yong".

Since Lin Chun entered Beijing. Prince Yong valued him very much, not only recommended him to study in the Guozijian, but also led him to get acquainted with famous scholars and court officials, so as to train him to grow and gain insight into personnel; In his spare time, he likes to talk to him about carving and painting, and listen to him tell interesting stories about the mountains.

Therefore, Lin Chun's life is extremely busy, but he still insists on doing wood carving.

If you don't have enough time, you can make small pieces.

Practice every day. It's like martial arts.

The things he made flowed into the homes of the powerful, and he became even more famous.

In the capital, there is another person who is as hot as Lin Chun, that is, Huang Yuan.

Day. Zan was lucky enough to pick up a life, and General Hu was pushed out as a scapegoat, so he took the opportunity to go home to recuperate. and informed Huang Yuan's reaction to this trip to his father, Governor Zan.

Governor Zan was furious and said hatefully: "That is so. Let him stay in the mountains for the rest of his life! Shisha doesn't expect to be rich either, just follow him as a plain couple. ”

However, soon after the capital, Huang Yuan submitted his name to Prime Minister Wang with a "Reef Fu". Immediately accepted as a disciple; He also participated in the hospital examination in Gyeonggi, won the first place, and once again won the fame of Xiucai.

In the autumn of that year, he participated in the township test in Gyeonggi and won Xie Yuan in one fell swoop.

In the spring of the 45th year of Zhengyuan, he won the Huiyuan in the examination.

In the palace test, he won the first place without any suspense and went straight to the Hanlin Academy.

Officialdom and Shilin were in an uproar!

It seems that it is not for nothing in history to win three yuan in a row; However, there is really no one at his age!

There is no shortage of talented teenagers in the world, and even "prodigies", if they make classic and beautiful rhetorical articles, everyone can accept them; However, Huang Yuan's views beyond his age and his calm and capable style in terms of economic and historical strategy are really shocking and unbelievable. Because of this, he quickly entered the court and stood firmly.

Faced with this situation, the Zan family was not happy, but worried.

Huang Yuan and Lin Chun became the talents of the powerful in the capital, and countless people tried to recruit them as the east bed. However, the two of them spoke in unison, saying that they had decided on a wife, which made people sigh.

Regardless of the situation in the capital for the time being, let's talk about Quanshui Village, the Huang family learned that Huang Yuan was the champion of high school, and they were so happy that they cried and laughed, burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and somewhat comforted the grief of losing two daughters in a row.

Fang Huofeng listened to the idiot, she had expected this.

But she was not as happy as she expected.

She always has a hidden worry buried in her heart, and this hidden worry comes from the disappearing cuckoo.

The Wasp Ridge mountain collapsed, and the people inside and outside the mountains have rumored:

said that the cuckoo turned into a mermaid and returned to the palace, as for Feng Mingying's mother and son, of course they were rescued by Ren Sanhe. The unprecedented flash flood was punished by the mermaid Niangniang for the officers and soldiers.

Another saying is that the cuckoo turned into a mermaid and first rescued Feng Mingying's mother and son, and then rode away on a tiger.

There are also many strange rumors, which sound ridiculous and scary.

After the flood receded, the two families of King Lin gathered the villagers and rebuilt the Niangniang Temple with boulders. The whole temple expands into two halls before and after, in addition to carving all kinds of flowers and plants and birds and beasts in the corridors, columns, stone walls and eaves corners, railings, etc., also carve various forms of mermaid Niangniang, and add a tiger like the wind. Because since the collapse of Wasp Ridge, Rufeng has never appeared in Quanshui Village again, and everyone says that it has left with Niangniang.

Since then, the incense of the mermaid Niangniang Temple has become more and more prosperous.

Many people came from outside the mountain to worship incense, because the government in order to save the hearts of the people, rebuilt the plank road in Wasp Ridge, and made great efforts to pull a suspension bridge above the torrent, which was ten times more steep than the original, and idlers did not dare to walk. But the worshippers climbed to show their piety.

There were many rumors, but Fang Huofeng didn't believe it, she felt guilty in her heart.

The whereabouts of the cuckoo are unknown, and the life and death of the yellow bird are unknown, which is caused by the elder brother bringing people to catch the cuckoo. After Huang Yuan came back that day, her tepid attitude made her more uneasy than when he was angry. Therefore, she often goes to the Niangniang Temple to offer incense and whispers to the statue of the fish Niangniang.

Every time she went, the red spirit accompanied her, and the incense was more pious than her.

One day in May, Fang Huofeng and Hong Ling came back from Niangniang Temple, and after the family had dinner, they played with Huang Zigui, who was only two years old, before returning to the room to rest.

Red Spirit was tired from a hard day's work, and he was tired.

When her eyes were sleepy, under the reflection of the big moon outside the window, a small figure quietly walked towards her, as if laughing, angry, and sly winking at her, she sat up suddenly, her eyes widened......

However, the figure was gone.

Just as he was listening with his ears pricked up and suspicious, he heard a sound in the room where Huang Li lived next door, and then a thin, tender voice said in his ear: "You are talking nonsense! ”

"Ahh
