Chapter 5: Paradise
Heavy snow for two days, days of heavy snow, the red leaf village to wrap the snow white, even if it has been many days, there are still a lot of stubborn snow remaining, melted snow after a night of cold, turned into crisp ice, quietly lurking in the mud puddle of the country road, caught off guard by a big heel fight.

Duanyue held a slender fishing rod in her hand, staggering behind Qi Chun, her eyes had been carefully searching the ground, for fear of stepping on thin ice and falling into a trap. She didn't care about soiling her dress, she gestured left and right on a large blue-gray stone by the river, found a convenient place to sit, and sat down with her ass. Qi Chun waved his hand at Duanyue, who was still competing with the earth, and the clear voice echoed above the river valley.
"Satsuki! Come and sit here! She untied the fish cage around her waist and placed it casually at her feet. Duanyue walked to the edge of Qichun with small steps, and sat on the edge with a pout. She turned her head sideways, followed the example of Qi Chun, hung the writhing earthworm on the bait, and threw it out with all her might.
Duanyue stood up solemnly, she used the strength to feed, her little face was flushed, and it seemed that she was not wielding a fishing rod, but a Fang Tian painting halberd. Qichun covered her mouth and snickered at Duanyue, seeing that she was violent, she could throw it to the other side of the bank when she saw the posture.
"It doesn't take that much effort." Qi Chun couldn't hide the smile on her face, she gently threw the fish hook two or three feet away, turned her head and smiled softly at Duanyue. Duanyue whispered "ah", looking full of disappointment, and she threw the fishhook out casually as she did.
Watching the bait fluttering freely in the calm water, Qichun felt very bored, but Duanyue was like a curious kitten, staring closely at his fishing rod, as if someone would snatch it. "If you stare like Xiaoyue, how dare those fish come." Qi Chun said Duanyue with a half-playful smile, and Duanyue shook her head hard.
"If I don't watch, what if the fish runs away!" She puffed out her cheeks, could it be that she was holding her breath, afraid that her breath would startle the fish?
Qi Chun looked at her nervous appearance, and the corners of her mouth were about to grin to her ears. She suddenly remembered that Duanyue had mentioned Shattered Leaf City, even if she was a country person, she knew a thing or two. "You and your brother are from Shattered Leaf City?" She thought of something and asked.
Duanyue nodded and said to herself. "yes, there aren't so many ponds or rivers in Broken Leaves. There are no fish, and no one will go fishing. But we have cattle and sheep there, and when Sister Qichun arrives at Broken Leaves, I will roast you the fattest and most tender sheep! She bared her white teeth and smiled brightly. Qichun felt the sincerity of her heart, and a warm current in her heart flowed all over the corners of her body.
It suddenly occurred to her that in the more than ten years she had grown up to now, no one seemed to have said such warm words. For as long as she can remember, she lived alone, and the people in the village were kind enough to share her food. The old doctor in the village carefully taught her how to distinguish various herbs, and Qi Chun relied on this skill to go up the mountain every day to collect some medicinal herbs to support herself.
Qichun is naturally full of gratitude to the kind villagers, just like the wind is "incompensable". But sometimes when I calm down and think about it, I still feel that something is missing in my heart.
"Then you can catch more!" Qi Chun stretched out his hand and gently stroked Duanyue's soft hair. The soft feel seemed to be stroking a soft rabbit, which made Qi Chun can't help but touch it nostalgically. Duanyue is not a good-tempered child, she is annoyed by the touch, but she can't act as casually as she did to the wind, so she has to pinch her head to express her unhappiness. Qi Chun hurriedly withdrew his restless hand. "Shen Gongzi has just woken up, and his health is not yet good, if you catch a fish for your brother to replenish his body, I don't know how happy he will be."
"Really!" As soon as Duanyue heard this nonsense, she immediately stood up again as if she had been beaten with chicken blood. She looked left at the bait and looked at the bait on the right, and there was no movement, but listening to what Qi Chun taught, she didn't dare to lift the fishing rod to see, and she jumped to her feet in anger.
The two of them stayed until the sun gradually set, and the warm orange and red sprinkled on the river, reflecting the colorful light. The smoke of cooking in the countryside is particularly obvious, and through the warm afterglow, it is like a fairyland. Qi Chun lifted the fish basket and looked at the hard work in his hands, and he gained a lot. Duanyue walked on the side angrily, she stared at the heavy basket of fish baskets viciously, obviously empty-handed.
Walking on the road, you can smell what kind of dinner is cooked by each family if you sniff carefully. Duanyue twitched her nose all the way, and her stomach screamed very unhappily.
"Yikes! Is the child hungry? A woman in her thirties and forties, who passed by, stopped. She quickly lifted the blue cloth on the bamboo basket she was carrying, took out the steaming bun and handed it to Duanyue. Duanyue took the bun in a daze, and didn't reflect what was wrong. "Qi Chun, this child was rescued by you outside?"
Qi Chun nodded. "It's okay now, it's fine."
The woman glanced at Duanyue, her brows furrowed inadvertently, and she leaned into Qichun's ear and asked softly. "There are two more people in the family, can you take care of them?"
"I can't take care of it, there's no way, it's the first month, it's so cold. If you let them out, you'll just freeze to death! The woman sighed and nodded in agreement with Qichun's words. She thought about it, lifted the blue cloth again, took out a bowl of red stew, and handed it to Qi Chun.
"Well, there's nothing I can do to help you, let your child eat more."
Duanyue raised her head and looked at the mouth-watering meat in Qi Chun's hand, and her mouth watered. Qi Chun was very embarrassed to hold the hot meat. "I'm taken care of by my aunt on weekdays, so I'm embarrassed." Although he excused himself, Qi Chun still accepted it.
The woman smiled at her only softly. "If there's any difficulty, just say it. Dr. Li will be back tomorrow, and I will ask him to go to your place to have a look. Qi Chun replied with a "huh" and left separately from the woman.
She sighed as she walked and muttered to herself. "Always taken care of. It was, and it still is. ”
Duanyue couldn't understand her thoughts, and said stupidly. "How good that aunt is to you, why is Sister Qichun still unhappy?"
"I'm not unhappy," the helplessness on Qi Chun's face showed at a glance, and she sighed again, all the way she left behind with a sigh. "I will be embarrassed to be taken care of by others every day."
"Oh!" Duanyue nodded as if she didn't understand. "Then my brother and I are taken care of by your sister every day, and we will also be embarrassed?"
"Oh, it's not." As soon as Duanyue's simple fairy tale was said, Qichun laughed out loud, she didn't know how to explain to Duanyue, so she had to shake her head and couldn't say anything. "Forget it, you don't have to do it. Otherwise, I won't make you something to eat! ”
Her blow made Duanyue quickly shake her head, "I won't say it, I won't say it!" She was afraid that there would be no good food, and since she found out that this little girl was so excited about what to eat, she always used this to tease her. But if Duanyue is disobedient, use this trick to keep it useful.
The two of them staggered all the way back to the house, and the wind sat on the bed and watched the door be pushed open. His gaze tossed, and finally stopped at Qi Chun's body. Qi Chun raised his head just to meet his gaze, and suddenly looked at each other, Qi Chun hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to raise his head again. The eyes of the wind are like the night, and the dark eyes can reflect the person in front of him, and it is these eyes that make people unable to see him clearly.
"It's getting late, I'll cook first." Qi Chun hurriedly picked up the fish basket and walked out. Every time she saw the wind, she felt strange and indescribable. After thinking about it seriously, the wind had to be vigilant all over his body, like a wolf, making it difficult for people to get close. Just take the four eyes just now, which made Qichun feel a sense of danger of being spied on, so he hurriedly ran out of the house.
The Shen family brothers and sisters were left in the house, and the wind watched her sister put down her own layer of defense. Duanyue happily trotted to the edge of the wind, jumped on the bed, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Brother, today Sister Qichun taught me to fish. I wanted to give you a big fish to eat, but none of them came to me. As he spoke, he waved his little fist angrily and snorted angrily.
Facing his sister, the wind showed a rare and gentle gaze. "Really? It shows that Xiaoyue is powerful, and those fish dare not come close to you. Hearing such comfort, Duanyue excitedly asked again and again, "Really?" ”
Through the open door, the wind vaguely saw the figure of Qi Chun outside, and he asked in a low voice. "That Miss Qichun, how is she?" He was always on the guard. The wind couldn't figure out how the Uighur poison could be easily unraveled by a country girl. The more people suffer, the more they distrust others.
Duanyue frowned, although she didn't know why her brother asked like this, she suddenly felt that Yan Feng's expression was wrong. "Sister Qichun?" She thought about it for a moment. "You're a very kind person, brother, when you haven't woken up, she has been waiting for you and feeding you medicine. It's also very good to me, not only does it make me food every day, but also takes me out to play. I like Sister Qichun very much! He smiled happily.
Her words did not dispel the doubts in the wind in his heart, but they melted the glacier in his heart a little. He looked down at his body, she was the one who pulled him back to the world from the ghost gate, and she was also the person who took in Duanyue and himself, was his ridiculous conjecture wrong?
