In April, the apricot blossoms rain down, and it is the partridge day. The empty mountain bird language, all tactful and crisp voices in the "coo, coo"

Deep in the Qinling Mountains, in an open place, next to a makeshift tent, a man and a woman sat around, setting up firewood to roast hares.

"Teacher Jiang, I thought that when you arrived in China this morning, you would stay in Chang'an for one night before entering the mountain, Professor Wu and they will all enter the mountain this evening." The young man who roasted the hare, black, thin and strong, was a well-known hunter in the Qinling Mountains, and many people hired him as a guide and bodyguard when they entered the mountains.

As he flipped through the roast rabbit meat, he looked at the woman in front of him, who was said to be a well-known overseas gourmet.

The woman is thin and tall, wearing a dark blue tracksuit, her hair is short and messy, but with her fair skin, delicate facial features, and dignified sitting posture, she is really very temperamental.

"As early as abroad, I heard that a thousand-year-old rice wine cellar has been excavated here, and I received an invitation from the Chinese Food Association, so I can't wait, how can I waste time in an irrelevant place." Jiang Yun withdrew his thoughts of listening to the empty mountain bird whisper, and smiled at the man in front of him.

Her voice is crisp and pleasant, and her smile shows two dimples, which is very beautiful.

The man suddenly felt that his heart was beating violently, so he hurriedly grabbed a thoughtless sentence to hide his panic: "Teacher Jiang is so young, he is twenty-two, right?" ”

"I'm thirty." She replied, her tone unconsciously vicissitudes. She suddenly remembered that when she left her hometown, she was still in her teens, and ten years had passed.

Even though the man grew up in a mountain village, he knew that it was very rude to ask a woman's age, so he blushed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Jiang Yun saw that he was cramped, so he changed the topic and asked, "Xiao Tian, this has been calling 'cuckoo', right?" ”

"It's not 'cuckoo', it's my sister bird." Oda said the story of the mountain, and his tone was proud.

"Sister bird?" Jiang Yun has always been obsessed with food, and has also studied possible ingredients such as birds, but he has never heard of "sister birds".

"yes. Listen, it's calling, 'Brother Can't Do It.'" Oda raised his voice and opened the conversation: "Many people mistakenly think it's cuckoo." In fact, this is the sister bird, calling her beloved brother not to go, the road ahead is dangerous. There's actually a legend about it."

Jiang Yun couldn't listen to any legends, and the word "brother" in Xiao Tian's words revealed her old scars.

She suddenly remembered Dai Yuanqing!

When she was eighteen years old, she first entered the Z University, and in April in the apricot blossom rain, she met such a person who had been dreaming of a thousand times since childhood. Once the hearts of the long-drought and sweet rain meet, it is a heartfelt love.

After falling in love, what was staged was a cliché drama of a wealthy child falling in love with Cinderella. His family tried their best to oppose it, checked her bottom, and pulled out her only relative, grandmother, by the way. As a result, a piece of truth was revealed: his grandfather became her own grandfather, and they became long-lost cousins.

"We can't, you're my brother—" she struggled to bite out the word "brother" and refused to mention him eloping.

"No, it must be their conspiracy, you wait, I'll find out." He said excitedly, and then he would check.

Grandma began to describe the love of the year, which was just the love between a wealthy child and a big girl. The eldest girl was pregnant and secretly went to the countryside for her child, married a rural villager, and never got along with each other.

"Broken your marriage. But their family, I know very well, you are not his sister, and you can't be together. "Grandma was in tears, talking about the past.

Jiang Yun was silent, carried his grandmother behind his back, met with Dai Yuanqing's mother, and said directly: "Mrs. Dai, I accept your conditions." The sooner the better, to go through the formalities for me and my grandmother. ”

The richly dressed woman smiled and said, "Actually, you should call me aunt." Yuan Qing is your brother after all. ”

This woman just pulled out the word "brother", and the purpose was obvious. Jiang Yun lowered her eyes, and on the letter she asked to leave for Dai Yuanqing, only the word "brother" fell.

After that, she traveled abroad and became obsessed with food research. In the past ten years, she has sent off her only relative, her grandmother, opened a Chinese restaurant, worked as a nutrition matchmaker, and wrote high-quality manuscripts for several well-known food magazines. Later, she became a well-known foodie overseas, and she frequently received invitations to promote various domestic cuisines. However, she never came back, afraid that when she heard the word "brother" in a straight voice, it would arouse the hurt in her heart, and she was even more afraid of seeing Dai Yuanqing.

This time, if it weren't for the peculiar rice wine cellar that was excavated, she wouldn't have returned to China.

"By the way, this sister bird also has a scientific name called 'partridge'. Last year, I was leading the way for a professor who studied birds, and he sued me. In the middle of this flow of thoughts, Oda had finished telling the story of his sister bird and gave this answer.

Jiang Yun suddenly retracted his thoughts, but his heart was wet, and he said suddenly: "It turned out to be a partridge, and the apricot blossoms are behind the partridge sky." ”

"Yes, yes, as soon as this sister bird calls, the sky is going to be tidal, and it will rain lingeringly." Oda said as he handed over the roasted rabbit legs.

"It's going to rain? Isn't it necessary to wait for the next sunny day to see the thousand-year-old wine cellar? Jiang Yun took a small bite of the rabbit leg meat.

"Yes." Oda also sighed.

"Then I'll go and see." She got up and said a few words to the staff next to her.

"Aren't you waiting for Professor Wu to come?" Oda was a little worried.

"I'm just going to see if it's going to break anything." She smiled at Oda again.

Xiao Tian said a little uncomfortably: "Then I'll accompany you." ”

Xiao Tian didn't accompany her after all, because someone said that Professor Wu had injured his foot, and asked Xiao Tian to help at the Kidnapping Kouling. So, Jiang Yun climbed down the simple tree and vine ladder down this rice wine cellar, which is said to be a thousand years old.

The cellar is not large, but it can be seen that it is not built by a wild man in the mountains. She took a flashlight and cautiously walked deeper into the cellar.

Sure enough, in the depths of the wine cellar, she saw more than a dozen jars of wine jars neatly arranged, all of which were sealed with sealing mud, and the appearance of the jars was mottled, and she couldn't see what patterns had been on them.

Jiang Yun understood that this was the rice wine jar found this time. A few days ago, the research team opened an altar and gave it to her in a small mouthful. When she smelled the fragrance, she was amazed: it was not just rice wine, but also a hint of medicinal fragrance. This is definitely not an ordinary brewing method, and she immediately decided that she must come back to the rice wine cellar to find out how to make this rice wine.

The cellar is small in size, and based on past experience, the vicinity of the cellar is usually a wine-making establishment. Jiang Yun walked around again with a flashlight, wanting to see if the four walls of this wine cellar still contained any secrets.

Suddenly, the flashlight swept over one place, and something reflected the light and swept over Jiang Yun's eyes. She hurried over to check, and saw a small piece of jade exposed in the dirt next to the wine jar.

She squatted down, gently pulled away the sandy soil, and saw the jade pendant, the jade pendant on the jade pendant had long been rotten, the jade pendant was pale green, and a small seal was engraved on it with the word "cloud".

Jiang Yun didn't know how to do jade, but the knife technique that she could understand the word "cloud" was actually very similar to hers. She frowned slightly, turned over and looked at the jade pendant, and saw the small block letters as thin as mosquito feet: Zhaoren.

The word "Zhaoren", the handwriting is not like hers, but it looks upright and elegant, and there is a sense of righteousness. It was as if she had seen an ancient man of great valor.

Well, it must have been from a man! Maybe it's the man who owns the cellar. Jiang Yun judged it this way.

But how could a man who was quite bookish be in the deep mountains and forests, whether he lived in seclusion, or to avoid trouble, or something else? Jiang Yun put the jade pendant in her palm and thought for a long time, until she heard the crisp call of "sister bird" in her ears, and she remembered that it was going to rain, and it was time to leave the cellar.

She clenched her jade pendant and wanted to get up and leave. But the moment she got up, her eyes were dark, she was dizzy, and then she fell down softly
