Su Xi took a bath with the stream water behind the courtyard, only to feel refreshed and cool, and stood under the porch to blow the wind again. The eldest brother said that he would take them to the stream behind the courtyard to grill fish in a while, she hurriedly changed into a moon-white crepe dress, asked Tingyan to dry her hair, and pulled a simple bun at will.

As soon as it was cleaned up, the big brother's people came over.

Also going out together were Su Lingyun and the sixth cousin Su Zhen.

The group went to the stream, and because it was just behind the courtyard, it didn't take long to arrive.

Su Li and Su Zhen went down to the river to fish, Tingyan and Tinghe were responsible for collecting firewood and making fire, Su Xi and Su Lingyun didn't have to do anything, just waited.

Su Xi sat on a flat stone, saw Su Baiyu staring at Su Li who was fishing in the river with a eager face, and asked with a smile, "Does Brother Bai also want to fish?" ”

Su Baiyu nodded, said and bent down to learn from Su Li's appearance, pulled up his robe and trouser legs, and rushed into the river with his tender white calves.

Su Xi was worried that he would fall, so he followed him step by step, and said, "Brother Bai'er, you slow down......"

Su Baiyu was in a good mood today, he was very skinny, he didn't listen to Su Xi's words at all, and jumped into the stream with a "plop" and ran towards Su Li: "Daddy, I'll help you catch fish." I'm going to catch a big carp and give it to my aunt. ”

Su Xi was splashed by him, angry and helpless, but fortunately, he only wet his skirt, and it would be fine when he went back to the fire to roast.

Two quarters of an hour later, Su Li and Su Zhen caught three or four carp each, cut open the belly of the fish, washed it, smeared it with seasoning, and skewered it on the grill with an iron skewer and began to roast it.

Su Xi doesn't like to eat fish very much, the only thing he loves to eat is anchovies, but anchovies are precious, and they are tributes to the imperial court, so there are not many in the total, how can he eat often, he can only eat once in a while. Su Li's grilled fish was also delicious, the outer layer of skin was crispy and fragrant, and the fish inside was tender and delicious, she ate a few bites, and suddenly stopped.

Not for anything else, just remembering that night in the cave, Wei Feng also grilled fish for her.

At that time, what a gentleman Wei Feng was like, she wanted to see the injury on her leg, he walked out without saying a word, and found her a herb to stop the bleeding.

Su Xi never thought that the other side of Wei Feng was so "bad......

Su Xi sighed.

To be honest, Su Xi still doesn't understand why Wei Feng kissed her for no reason. I wanted to ask him last time, but as soon as my mother came, her brain turned into a mess, where is there time to ask such a question.

Not to mention that Wei Feng is going to be the emperor in the future, the two girls who have been married to him in his previous life have died, which is really incredible. Su Xi cherishes her life very much, she doesn't want to have too much to do with Wei Feng, most of it is because of this, what if her life is not as hard as Wei Feng and is killed by him?

She hasn't lived enough in her life.

"Hey, Brother Su, Sixth Brother Su and Sister Xi are here?" A voice interrupted Su Xi's thoughts.

Su Xi turned around and saw Yin Mengming and Yin Pengpeng walking towards this side, and it was Yin Mengmeng who spoke.

Yin Mengming said with a smile: "I saw a fire here from a distance, I saw that it was the direction of the Su family's courtyard, so I led Peng Peng over, I didn't expect you to be here." ”

Yin Pengpeng also greeted everyone, with a smile on his face.

Su Li said: "Since you are here, let's sit down together." ”

Yin Mengming and Yin Pengpeng were not polite, and each picked a place to sit down. Yin Mengming sat on Su Xi's left, Yin Pengpeng sat on Su Xi's right hand, Yin Pengpeng's other side happened to be Su Baiyu, and then Su Li.

Yin Pengpeng saw that Su Baiyu would not spit out fish bones when he ate fish, so he took a plate from the small square table on the side, divided the fish into pieces, and then carefully and slowly picked out the thorns in the fish, and then put them back in front of him, and said: "Brother Bai'er eats the fish here, there are no thorns here, so you are not afraid of getting stuck in your throat." ”

Su Baiyu glanced at Yin Pengpeng, then turned his head to look at Su Li, as if asking his father's opinion.

Su Li touched his head and said, "Cousin Peng Peng gave it to you, you can eat it." ”

Su Baiyu lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Cousin Pengpeng." ”

Yin Peng smiled with crooked eyes.

At this head, Yin Mengming glanced at her with complicated eyes.

Everyone gossiped while eating grilled fish, because the two families were cousins, so there was no restraint in talking.

Yin Mengming asked, "I heard that Sister Xi has been learning the piano with Mr. Gu Tong recently?" I've heard people say this name, and I've heard that he has first-class piano skills, and he played music for the emperor back then, and the emperor wanted to keep him in the palace as a royal luthier. It's just that this Mr. Gu Tong has a strange temperament, and he didn't agree, but left the palace to live in seclusion elsewhere. ”

Su Xi had also heard about it, and she smiled and said, "Mr. yearns for a free life, and he said that the palace is not suitable for him." ”

Yin Mengming also heard that Mr. Gu Tong had only accepted three apprentices in his life, and these three later had their own attainments in piano art.

Yin Mengmeng's request, Su Xi naturally couldn't refuse, and said, "Sister Ming, don't say that...... If you want to hear it, I'll play it to you another day, but don't dislike it. ”

Yin Mengming smiled and said no. The two of them spoke a few more words, and suddenly they heard an exclamation from the stream.

Su Xi followed the sound and saw Su Li holding Yin Pengpeng's arm, and Yin Pengpeng leaned on Su Li's body with half of his body, his face palpitating.

It turned out that Yin Pengpeng was squatting on the shore to wash his hands just now, and when he got up, he didn't stand firm, stepped on the moss, and almost slipped into the water. It happened that Su Li passed by and took advantage of the situation to grab her.

After Yin Pengpeng stood firm, he noticed their intimate posture, and hurriedly let go of his hand and withdrew from Su Li's arms, and said with a red face: "Thank you, Brother Su...... I didn't pay attention for a moment......"

Su Li's face did not change, and said, "Be careful." ”

And then it came back.

Yin Pengpeng kept looking at Su Li's back, even if the light around her was dim, Su Xi could see that her face was flushed.

Su Xi thought to herself, Yin Pengpeng's thoughts about her eldest brother were almost written on her face, and she could see it, but her eldest brother was still indifferent.

Su Xi used a branch to stir the fire in front of him, and silently felt sorry for Yin Peng for a while. Her eldest brother only has the deceased sister-in-law in his heart, if it was really so easy to open his heart and accept others, he would not have failed to marry for so many years.

"Auntie, I saw a firefly." Su Baiyu ran from the other end and tugged on Su Xi's sleeve.

Su Xi said, "Where is it?" ”

Su Baiyu pointed in one direction. Su Xi followed and looked, it was dark and numb, and there was nothing. She said: "Brother Bai wants to see fireflies, will you let your father catch them for you tomorrow?" It's too late today, it's time for us to go back. ”

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Su Baiyu shook his head and insisted: "There are really fireflies." As he spoke, he dragged Su Xi and wanted to take her over to see it.

It was not strange to see fireflies in the middle of summer, and Su Xi didn't take it to heart, just thinking that he was a child.

Su Xi said: "I'll accompany you over to have a look, but you can't go too far, okay?" We'll be back in a minute. ”

Su Baiyu nodded and agreed.

Su Xi originally thought it was nearby, so he didn't take the maid and accompanied Su Baiyu to the other side of the forest. After walking for a while, I saw a warm yellow firefly passing in front of me, and in just a moment, it quickly flew forward again.

The tail of the firefly illuminates the path ahead, luring people on. Su Baiyu's eyes lit up, he held Su Xi's hand tighter, and walked forward quickly, "Auntie, let's catch it back, put it in the house, and there will be no need to light it at night." ”

Su Xi hurriedly followed, worried that he would be lost alone. "Brother Bai, slow down, don't go too far."

Su Baiyu's eyes were full of fireflies at this time, how could he still hear Su Xi's words.

Su Xi had no choice but to follow him closely while writing down the road when he came. Not long after walking, there were suddenly more fireflies in front of me, first one or two, then three, five, and then more and more as I walked forward. The fireflies lit up the surroundings, and Su Xi involuntarily slowed down and followed them forward little by little.

Su Baiyu stretched out his arm and wanted to catch one, but the firefly flew too fast, and he didn't catch it for a long time. "Auntie, why are there so many fireflies here?"

Su Xi shook her head, "I don't know either." ”

Although it is not uncommon for there to be fireflies on the mountain, it is still rare to see so many at once.

Fireflies kept coming from afar, as if two warm yellow Milky Ways were spread around them, extending forward, leading them to an unknown end. Su Xi followed the ghost forward, and suddenly came to a clearing, her eyes suddenly brightened, she squinted her eyes, and after seeing the scene in front of her, she stopped in a daze-

Countless fireflies gathered in one place, hovering in mid-air, and the tail of each firefly was like a lamp, flying and hovering in the air, forming a bright and magnificent night sky. Thousands of fireflies were in front of her, the night sky was as bright as day, Su Xi looked at it in a daze, as if the whole person was in the vast stars, and if she took a step forward, she could be held up by these little things and fly to the sky.

Su Xi was shocked, she didn't know how there could be such a fairyland-like place in the mountain behind the courtyard, she had been here a few times before, but she had never encountered such a scene.

"Auntie, there seems to be someone there." Su Baiyu pointed to a road.

Su Xi heard the sound and saw that through the night sky surrounded by fireflies, he saw a person standing under the hundred-year-old giant tree opposite.

Because he was too far away, Su Xi couldn't see his appearance, so he led Su Baiyu to take a few steps forward.

When I got closer, I saw the person's face clearly.

Wei Feng wore a robe and stood a few steps away. The moonlight shone on him, and he saw a thin smile on his lips, handsome and beautiful, and his bearing was extraordinary, as if he had been waiting for her here for a long time.
