Chapter 44: Freedom

The heavy snow fell for several days, and the whole of Qiuzhou was pure white, and the sky and the earth were connected with the water, and it was a strange color.

At this time, the school is on winter vacation, and the students are happy, no longer have to get up early, no longer have to sit at the desk in such a cold weather, listen to the master talk about those difficult and difficult contents, and do not have to look forward to the end of class every day, suffering every day......

In short, the winter vacation of the school is a great joy for the students of Guangzhou.

Moon Lake Restaurant, on the third floor, Yuan Bao and Yuan Qing were eating in a side room, Xiaobao was very happy, Yuan Qing was infected by his cheerful atmosphere, and the whole person was also brisk.

There are more than ten days to celebrate the New Year, the snow is falling, the pedestrians are decreasing, and the restaurant has no business, it is very deserted, Yuan Qing decided to take annual leave for ten days before and after the New Year, so the staff working in the Moon Lake Restaurant all went home for the New Year.

The restaurant does not do business, anyway, in this ice and snow, people will not come to the Moon Lake to watch the snow scene, and the Moon Lake is silent.

Now in the restaurant, only the shopkeeper Yuan Qing and Yuan Bao and the chef Chen Lan are left, the bookkeeper Ge Yulian has gone home, the guys have also gone home, the chores, the piano players and the thugs have also gone home, and they have to return to the restaurant to continue working on the tenth day of the first month of next year.

In ancient times, people who worked in restaurants didn't seem to have much time to rest except for illness, and this day was still quite hard......

The restaurant is clear and quiet, the outside is cold and snowy, and the air is cold and silent.

Qingguo Shop is still in business, there is a father and daughter watching the shop in the shop, the daughter is home, so the father can come home later, those who make pastries are not far from the place of work, and they don't have much to do at home, so they can also go home later.

In terms of newspapers, it is freezing this day, and few people will come out to buy newspapers, so for the convenience of the guests, they first book in the mailbox, and then the newspaper is written. Then send the newspaper to your door.

The snow covered the ground, and the snowflakes were still floating, like goose feathers. Perhaps by physical definition, a snowy day is always extraordinarily peaceful. Snow absorbs sound

The water of the Qingjiang River does not flow, and 10,000 people have gone up the river. It is very frightening to see from afar, and it is frozen up close.

Of course, the water here has not yet reached the point of freezing, even if it does. It's just piece by piece, and it can't reach the level of being able to leave.

The New Year is over, the sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and every family is happy.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family will gather around for a reunion dinner, and after eating, there will be a vigil together until the first moment of the first day of the next year, which means to keep the new year, pray for peace and security in the coming year, and the year will be safe.

In Akishu. Yuan Qing has no relatives, she and Yuan Bao themselves are orphans, although it is a little pitiful to be an orphan, but Yuan Qing never thinks that he is pitiful, what's wrong with being an orphan? I don't have to bear the family mission, and I don't have to deal with that group of "relatives", I feel that a light person is born naked, and it doesn't seem to make much difference whether he is an orphan or not.

Of course, according to Yuan Qing's soul age. Whether she has parents or not has little influence on her. As long as you don't imprison her freedom.

Born free, but always living in shackles. This sentence was uttered by Rousseau. It makes sense, life is in the world. There is a price for everything you do, dignity needs a price, you have to have the ability to be respected, freedom also needs a price, if you want freedom, it is as big as revolution. As small as sacrificing something of oneself......

In fact, some people who seem to be free are not as free as we think. People are like this, they think too much, they are annoyed, they think less, they are lonely, they don't think about anything, they are empty. In fact, those so-called troubles are what our brains come up with.

Have you ever had the experience that when you are concentrating on one thing, you seem busy, but you don't feel too annoyed?

Freedom is not unfettered and doing what you want, but on the basis of not breaking the law, you are quite happy, no matter which way you are happy, as long as you are happy.

If you have to talk about it, Yuan Qing is quite free.

At the reunion dinner, there were four people on the table, Yuan Qing, Yuan Bao, Chen Lan, and Qi Yan. Three girls and a boy, this kind of combination is very rare at the general reunion dinner table, but these four people are happy, not family more like family.

After the reunion dinner, it was afternoon, the snow was overwhelming, but it was very bright in the afternoon, and the snow reflected the sky, like white light.

In the evening, firecrackers are set off, crackling in the distance, but there are very few in the near distance. They spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the Moon Lake Restaurant, and there was no other house on the shore of the Moon Lake except this building. Yuan Bao came to the door, lit a firecracker, threw it away, covered his ears, the firecracker crackled, the paper of the cannon flew around, and the boy's delicate face was smiling.

In the evening, the four of them sat in the restaurant to keep a good New Year, begging for a smooth and safe year in the coming year.

This Chinese New Year's Eve, it was quiet and peaceful.

The next day, early in the morning, the sound of artillery was everywhere, indicating that the morning of the first day of the new year had arrived.

Ha, Yuan Qing yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, got up, pushed open the window, and the outside was cotton white. It's the first day of the new year, and it's worth treating.

On the first day of the new year, people stay in their own homes, do not use knives, do not work, do not pour water outside the house, and eat food that is left over on Chinese New Year's Eve, which means that there is more than every year.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, you can visit relatives and friends and pay New Year's greetings.

During the period, Mo Zisang and Lin Yunxi came to the Moon Lake Restaurant to pay New Year's greetings and gave Yuan Bao, a little pot friend, some New Year's money.

"Do you want to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings?" This is Yuan Qing's tangled question, and the concubine also said that Yuan Qing is a family member of the palace, since they are all family, shouldn't they go and see it for the New Year?

"Let's go and see, girl." Chen Lan said beside Yuan Qing, "After all, the concubine is very good to the girl. ”

Yuan Qing nodded, okay, on the third day of the first lunar month, Yuan Qing pulled Xiaobao, and the two sisters and brothers came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings.

The people who come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, the threshold is about to be broken, and the two sisters and brothers symbolically come to pay New Year's greetings, and those people are almost the same. Take some gifts that are not shabby, take a look at the palace, say goodbye, Xiaobao received the New Year's money, and then didn't say anything, and the sister and brother left.

The days are as quiet as flowing water, and there are not too many waves and there is no turning back.

The snow melts, the birds chirp, the trees spit new shoots, everything recovers, and the earth rejuvenates.

Winter is coming, will spring be far away? Yes, spring is the season of joy and joy. The scene of early spring makes people's hearts warm.

The staff who went back for annual leave have returned to their jobs, and the Moon Lake Restaurant has already begun to officially open for business in this new year, and the same is true for the Qingguo Shop.

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the school was officially opened, and Yuan Bao continued to go to school without any reason.

At the end of the first month, the spring water is clear, the dingdong sounds, the birds sing, turn and listen, the distant mountains are green, the lake is rippling, and the willows are spit out new sprouts.

Moon Lake Restaurant.

"What about your shopkeeper?" The man's cold voice was very faint, as if it was not stained with waves.

"Back to the prince, the shopkeeper went out hunting, saying that it was on the hill south of Qiuzhou City, and she went for about a day." Ge Yulian, the bookkeeper of the Moon Lake Restaurant, said respectfully to the man.

Hunt? "How soon will she be back?" The man asked again.

"The shopkeeper said she was going for three days, and maybe she wouldn't be back until tomorrow afternoon." Ge Yu said.

Outside the city of Qiuzhou, ten kilometers to the south, there is a continuous green mountain, which is not a fruit forest, but a forest, a wild mountain forest with barren trees and grasses, and a green mountain that has not been artificially destroyed.

The green hills are endless, overgrown with weeds, and full of greenery. A person riding a horse in a sparsely wooded place, galloping wildly, she rode a horse to a place where horses could not pass, she did not hesitate to jump off the horse, stepped forward alone, she held a bow and arrow, closed her eyes, pulled the bow full, loosened her hand, the arrow went, whistling past, and then the arrow hit the "bull's-eye", and the prey fell to the ground.

The archer, dressed in a simple man's attire with long hair tied behind her head, was a woman, but she was dressed as a man. The long hair was tied up high, and his head moved, fluttering and unrefreshing, this person was Yuan Qing.

She could clearly see that the animal she had shot to the ground had been hit by two arrows, and she had only shot one arrow, and the other arrow...... She couldn't see where it came from.

This person's archery skills are really amazing. Yuan Qing looked at the other arrow and nodded. Immediately, she only heard a sound of footsteps on her left, she looked up, it was a man, he walked slowly, this spring back to the ground warmth can not stop the cold around him that has not melted for thousands of years.

As if surrounded by his unique cold place, Yuan Qing couldn't help but shudder, and scolded in his heart, this ice cube face is made of ice cubes, spring is coming, and he has to come here to be cold. Of course, her face was not revealed, and at that moment, she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, you ...... What a coincidence, are you here to hunt too? ”

"Almost." Li Chen raised his eyes to look at her, she was dressed in men's clothes, but she was also chic.

"Oh, then this squirrel, you and I each hit an arrow, how can we divide the two?" Yuan Qing looked at the squirrel lying in a pool of blood and asked with an eyebrow.

"What do you say?" He also raised his eyebrows, did not answer, but asked her.

"Deuce." She said.

"You take it." He pointed to the squirrel and said lightly.

"Why?" Yuan Qing frowned, why do you want me to take the squirrel, why do you want to be empty-handed?

"The arrow I put is deadly, and your arrow is just the icing on the cake." He looked at her angry eyes and said in a flat tone.

Icing on the cake? Damn, Yuan Qing really wants to give him an arrow, yes, the arrow of labor and management is the icing on the cake. "Not necessarily, how do you know that the arrow I put is the icing on the cake? And your arrow is fatal? "There is no picture and no truth, who believes it? To be continued
