It's a new morning, the sun rises over the mountains, the wild wind blows away the mist, the temperature gradually warms up, and then you wake up to the world that has been sleeping for a whole winter, with buds stretching, grass rising, wild flowers blooming, butterflies dancing, bees busy...... Everything has become light again, only Xia Xue'er is getting more and more bloated! Unconsciously, she has been pregnant for more than five months, and with a big belly that gives birth to life, her actions are naturally becoming more and more slow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning cast a patch of dappled light around the wooden house through the budding branches, Mu Xuanlong was already busy in the kitchen, skillfully starting the fire, washing the pot, pouring water, and pouring rice...... This is the first thing he must do after waking up in the morning, and it has become a habit of life before he knows it.

Xia Xueer opened the door and walked to the terrace, the warm sunlight slanted on her body, driving away the dampness and laziness, the weather is good today!

Close your eyes deeply, raise your delicate face, and let the sun shine through. Take a breath, not only the fragrance of the earth but also the air mixed with the aroma of rice enters the nasal cavity, the corners of the mouth unconsciously rise, and the heart gradually calms down.

Before she knew it, the familiar smell had burned into her heart, a sign that she felt safe, even though she didn't want to admit it yet.

Slowly opened his eyes, lifted the corner of his skirt and carefully descended the stairs and walked towards the kitchen.

"Awake?" Hearing the footsteps, Mu Xuanlong turned his head to say hello, and at the same time couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Be careful with your step, don't fall!" ”

"Hmm."

didn't say much, Xia Xue'er only replied softly. Carefully avoiding the scattered firewood under his feet, he stood by the pillar that supported the roof, and watched him skillfully chop vegetables and cook porridge. It's not so much a kitchen as a simple shed, with four pillars supporting the roof and ventilating on all sides.

"Didn't you say okay, don't come into the kitchen in the future?"

Mu Xuanlong boiled the porridge and didn't forget to complain about Xia Xue'er. Although four months have passed, during this time, he has indeed learned a lot of things that he has not done and does not have to do in the past, but he has never been able to take care of the details.

In this regard, Xia Xue'er only smiled slightly, and did not reply, as if she didn't mind what it was like here, or that her attention was never on this, so why bother whether it was messy or not.

"Today is the first time that Li Bo has gone up the mountain to check his pulse after the Chinese New Year, and I have prepared a small gift for him as a New Year's greeting, and I don't know if he will like it."

"You've got it, he's going to love it!"

Mu Xuanlong replied with a little doting. This is true, Xia Xueer has always been loved by everyone, and flowers bloom. Although Li Bo has not been here many times, after getting along a few times, it seems that he has already regarded her as a friend or a relative, so how can he not like her carefully prepared New Year's gifts?

After finishing speaking, I took a big bowl of porridge from the side, and in the past four months, the best breakfast is still porridge, but fortunately, I change the pattern every day, and I don't feel tired.

Looking at the steaming porridge with green vegetables and lean meat, the aroma came to the nose, and at the same time, the stomach was unconsciously gurgling in response, Xia Xue'er smiled awkwardly, and Mu Xuanlong also looked at her, but his face was full of happiness. In his heart, as long as he can be by Xia Xue'er's side, he is already satisfied, and it is even happier to be able to feed her every day! How can you feel ashamed?

I was about to take this opportunity to tease her a few words, but I was attracted by a chaotic sound of footsteps, and there was more than one person! And Xia Xue'er also heard the approaching footsteps, the two looked at each other tacitly, and then turned their eyes to the wooden door together.

In the past, there was no fence, but the yard was simply fenced with a bamboo fence, but later, because there were always animals breaking in and destroying the vegetable garden, I had no choice but to find a craftsman to build the fence, and at the same time, the fence gate was replaced with a more solid wooden door, completely demarcating an independent space. The two of them had lived here for more than four months, and occasionally hunters or woodcutters would pass by, but their instincts told them that this time they were coming for them!

Sure enough, after a while, a knock was heard at the door, and the two looked at each other, but neither spoke.

I didn't see anyone come to open the door, and I didn't hear a voice coming from the house, so the person knocked on the door again, and shouted at the same time: "Xiao Mu, I'm Li Bo!" At home? ”

Mu Xuanlong didn't breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but frowned. Although Li Bo only went up the mountain once in half a month, the two of them were also familiar with his footsteps, and the sound of breathing outside the door came and went, as if Li Bo was not alone!

put down the porridge bowl, first helped Xia Xue'er to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, and did not forget to gently pat her arm for comfort, and then went to open the door. And Zhang Jing and Zhu Xuan, who were standing outside the door, also held their breath unconsciously, and as the footsteps on the other side of the door got closer and closer, they became more and more nervous!

"Squeak~"

The door opened, and although I had been prepared, I was still startled by the familiar face that suddenly appeared in front of me, and for a while, both sides were stunned, just standing and looking at each other.

Only Li Bo has not noticed that something is wrong, but when this is a long-separated relative, he is overjoyed! So he smiled and said, "I saw these two little brothers wandering down the mountain, still holding portraits of the two of you in their hands, and after asking, I found out that it was Xiao Xia's brother, so I brought them up by the way!" You haven't seen you in a long time, haven't you? ”

Mu Xuanlong was always afraid that one day Su Qi would find this place to rob Xia Xue'er with him. Therefore, when I heard the footsteps, I began to be nervous, and now when I see the two people standing outside the door, I am even more vigilant! I have to say that he is greedy for the ordinary life of Xia Xue'er who is not disturbed by the outside world, and wants to grow old like this!

Not far away, Xia Xue'er in the courtyard naturally heard Li Bo's words, although she was blocked and couldn't see who was outside the door, but she could also guess a rough idea!

In this world, there are not many people who will look for her and Mu Xuanlong all over the world, and even fewer can persevere and have the ability to find this remote mountainous area, except for the imperial court, there is only the Netherworld Valley, among them, there are only a handful of people who will say to others that it is her brother, I am afraid that only Zhu Xuan and Zhang Jing will stand at the door at this time!

"Is it Senior Brother Zhang and Brother Zhuxuan?"

Xia Xue'er opened her mouth to ask, but there was only a silence at the door that answered her, and at this point, she became more and more sure of the conjecture in her heart, smiled slightly, and then said: "Please come in!" ”
