"Will you do it again in the afternoon?" Although it didn't take much energy to ride in the carriage, Su Xi got up at midnight this morning, and he was very sleepy at this time, and he wanted to make up for his sleep.

Su Baiyu didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, with that look in her eyes, as if she had done something big and angry.

Su Xi was so weak by him that he couldn't do anything, so he had to sit up from the soft couch with a bitter sigh, "Okay, okay, I'll just accompany you." Saying that, let Tingyan take her cloak, the wind was strong on the mountain, she saw that Su Baiyu was also wearing less, so she asked Tingyan to prepare another thick dress, and pinched Su Baiyu's little face angrily, "Let's talk about it first, only put it for an hour, and if you put it for a long time, you will get sick." "Besides, she has just recovered from the cold, so she should not blow too much cold wind.

Su Baiyu took a step back and avoided it, his childish little face was serious, and said, "I'm not an aunt, I won't get sick at every turn." ”

Su Xi: "......"

After packing up, Su Xi led Su Baiyu to the back door of the courtyard. Opposite the back door is a clearing, and a little farther away is the verdant and lush peak, and a pavilion is built on the mountainside, and the eaves are warped, which is very chic.

Su Xi asked the second brother before going out, and Su Zhi happened to be free and came with them.

Su Baiyu had never flown a kite before, only to see other children playing, he pulled the cotton thread in his hand, ran a few steps, and turned around to see the eagle kite sliding a distance against the grass, and looked at Su Xi puzzled, "Auntie, why doesn't it fly?" "Other people's kites fly in the sky.

Su Xi loved flying kites when she was a child, but that was several years ago, and she hadn't touched a kite since she was ten years old.

"Look at me." She took the cotton thread from Su Baiyu's hand, looked up to observe the direction of the wind, and then followed the direction of the wind, raised the kite in her hand and ran a few steps, but in the end, it was rusty, the kite only struggled twice in mid-air, and then staggered and fell to the ground.

Su Baiyu ran up from behind, looked at the kite on the ground, and then looked at Su Xi who was frustrated, and didn't say anything. After a while, the little guy picked up the kite on the ground, held it above his head, and looked at Su Xi with dark eyes, "Auntie, do it again." ”

Su Xi nodded, he was not the kind of person who retreated in the face of difficulties, took two steps back, and said to Su Baiyu: "Brother Bai'er, don't let go first, let's run together, and you will let go when I tell you to let go." ”

I don't know if it's because she was with Su Baiyu, Su Xi was actually a little childish by him, the more the kite couldn't be released into the sky, the more she wanted to put it on.

Su Baiyu obediently said "um".

Two quarters of an hour later, Su Xi and Su Baiyu still hadn't successfully released the kite into the sky.

Su Zhi stood under the tree, smiled lowly, and his cold eyebrows and eyes looked much softer. He strode forward, took off the water bladder on his waist, pulled out the soft plug and handed it to Su Xi, and asked, "Youyou, do you really need my help?" ”

Su Xi's face was red, maybe he had just run too hard, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead and nose, and even his two small soft ears were red. She took the water bladder and drank a sip of water, her pink lips pursed slightly, her watery apricot eyes turned, and she was a little unconvinced: "I will definitely be able to put it on today, and the second brother will let me try it again." ”

As he spoke, he handed the water bladder to Su Baiyu on the side, and bent down to wipe the sweat on his face for him, "Brother Bai'er, what do you say?" ”

Su Baiyu also said that he would try again.

So the two of them rested for a while, and then one in front and the other in the back, and continued to fly the kite with perseverance.

This time, the kite finally managed to fly.

Su Xi stepped back backwards, raised her pink little face and looked at the sky, a pair of beautiful big eyes bent into a crescent moon, and said in surprise: "Second brother, Brother Bai'er, look!" ”

Su Baiyu showed a rare feeling of excitement, and raised his little arm, "Auntie, aunt, give me ......"

Su Xi handed over the cotton thread to Su Baiyu.

Su Zhi smiled on his lips, and his eyes fell on Su Xi, who was smiling. Since he came back from the border this time, he felt that Su Xi was a little different from before, although he was still a squeamish and well-behaved little girl in essence, but he seemed to have grown up and sensible again, she used to think that Su Baiyu had a strange temperament, and rarely took the initiative to care about Su Baiyu, but this time she actually remembered to take him to the other courtyard to fly a kite, and taught him hand-in-hand.

Su Zhi was about to step forward, but the steward Zhu Li came out of the back door and came to him and whispered a few words.

After listening to this, Su Zhi only said, "You stay and take care of the Ninth Girl and Brother Bai'er, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Steward Zhu said: "Second master, rest assured, hand it over to the little one." ”

After Su Zhi left, Su Xi and Su Baiyu didn't notice it, both of them only looked at the sky, and they didn't even know when Su Zhi left.

*

At this time, in the gazebo on the mountainside.

The two were playing chess, and one of the men holding sunspots and wearing a purple embroidered gold round-necked robe fell behind, looked at the flat ground below the mountain, smiled, dipped his finger in water and wrote on the table: "You won the bet, and the kite was launched." ”

Wei Feng's eyes fell on the chessboard, and he didn't look at the mountain, "It's just a casual guess, it's not a bet." ”

The man shook his head and wrote, "I am willing to gamble and lose." Immediately remembering something, the index finger dipped in the tea again, and said one by one: "It's rare to see such a persistent girl." ”

Wei Feng dropped a white piece in the center of the chessboard, remembering Su Xi's persistent little appearance, his movements paused slightly, and suddenly felt that Su Xi was a little similar to the chess piece under his hand, round and white, if he held it in his hand, it should be extremely easy to control. He remembered something, and his lips curved slightly, "It's really rare." ”

Rare gluttony.

The man wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop coughing.

The mountain is windy, and it seems that this game of chess will not be finished. Wei Feng said to the guards on the side: "Yang Zhi, send your master back." There is a shortcut behind the pavilion, from where you can walk quickly to the annex. ”

Yang Zhi picked up the man in purple and said, "Childe, please go back." ”

The man reluctantly stood up and said goodbye to Wei Feng.

After the man in purple left, Wei Feng looked at the endgame in front of him for a while, Heizi was cornered by Baizi, and it was completely wiped out in a few more steps. Wei Feng stood in the position of the sunspot and thought for a moment, picked up a son and was about to fall, but saw a black shadow in the distance gradually falling towards the pavilion, and when he got closer, Wei Feng saw that it was a paper goshawk kite.

The kite broke its string and landed right at Wei Feng's feet.

*

At this moment, Su Xi and Su Baiyu looked at each other, no one expected that the kite would suddenly break the string.

Su Baiyu pinched the only piece of cotton thread left, looked up at the pavilion on the mountainside, and then looked at Su Xi, "I didn't mean to. "It's quick to admit mistakes.

Of course, Su Xi knew that he didn't mean it, and what was important now was how to get the kite back. The kite was given to Su Baiyu by the eldest brother, and the meaning is not ordinary, otherwise Su Baiyu would not have stayed until now, if he really lost it, Su Baiyu would definitely be sad for a long time. She visually measured the height of the pavilion, it was not too high, she could go up, and if the kite hadn't fallen somewhere else, eight out of ten would be able to get it back.

Su Xi turned his head to look for Su Zhi and wanted to go up with Su Zhi, but he couldn't see Su Zhi after looking around, so he knew that the second brother was in a hurry to go back in advance.

Steward Zhu said: "Don't worry, girl, the little one will ask someone to go up and look for the kite." ”

But Su Xi saw someone walking around in the pavilion, if he went late, would he be picked up by the people in the pavilion?

Su Xi handed Su Baiyu to the steward and said, "Take Brother Bai back in advance, and I'll go up with Tingyan to find it." "Listening to the wild goose will do martial arts, it will not be a problem to protect her.

Steward Zhu hurriedly said no, "Let's go villain, if the girl encounters any danger......

Su Xi said: "Steward Zhu doesn't know what the kite looks like, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it even if I go." Don't worry, it's so close, it's going to be fine. ”

Steward Zhu's persuasion failed, and after seeing Su Xi and Tingyan leaving, he asked people to inform the second master, took Su Baiyu back to the other courtyard, and arranged for people to go to the back mountain to find the ninth girl, and he was so busy for a while.

*

Thanks to Su Xi's usual exercise on weekdays, either running or kicking shuttlecock, he recently began to practice dance with Mr. Dong, and his body was more than twice as good, but when he arrived at the mountainside, he only breathed a little, but his face remained unchanged at all.

Su Xi looked at the pavilion in front of him and said in surprise: "It's here." ”

Without waiting to listen to the geese, he walked quickly to the pavilion with his skirt. From a distance, I saw a person sitting in the pavilion, wearing a blue lotus-colored embroidered gold dark pattern robe, with his back to her, his face could not be seen, it should be a man, and he didn't look too old. Su Xi paused, she couldn't walk happily, how to say that she is now a half-grown girl, and it is always not good to contact foreign men.

But fortunately, at her age, she pretends to be immature, and she won't look abrupt.

So Su Xi stood outside the pavilion, considered it, and said crisply: "Excuse me, did you see a kite landing here?" ”

The man didn't look back and asked lightly, "The kite is yours?" ”

Su Xi said, feeling that this voice was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere not long ago. But before she could think of anything, the man took out a broken eagle kite from the stone bench opposite and asked, "Is this it?" ”

Su Xi's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Exactly." ”

Sure enough, it fell here, Su Xi walked to the blue lotus-colored man, took the kite in his hand, and said sincerely: "Thank you, ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party's face clearly, and his smiling face froze, "Ting, Tingzhou, cousin?" ”

Wei Feng's face did not change, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Sister Xi doesn't seem to want to see me?" ”

"No, it's not." It's just too surprised, Su Xi shook his head and said.

She lowered her eyes and was thinking about saying goodbye and leaving, but she saw that a bamboo stick had broken off the wings of the eagle's kite, and a corner had collapsed, presumably broken when it fell just now. The kite broke one of its wings and could not fly.

Wei Feng saw that she hung her head and didn't speak, so she rarely took the initiative: "What's wrong?" ”

Su Xi blinked, didn't think much about it, raised the broken half of the kite's wings in front of Wei Feng's eyes, and said in frustration: "It's broken." ”
