The sun had just set, and the stars had not yet risen.

The old man spread a piece of tung oil cloth on the lawn in front of the house, put a few coarse porcelain pottery bowls, and said a little shyly: "There is really no decent furniture in the house, so I simply go out to eat." It's all some game from the mountains, and there are small fish caught in this stream, and the little old man's skills are not good, don't dislike the cold. ”

Guo Chengsi sat on the tung oil cloth, while helping the old man set the dishes, he said with a smile: "Take heaven and earth as the hall, take the stars as candlelight, listen to the breeze whimpering and the water murmuring, watching the colorful butterflies flying and the wild flowers gorgeous." This is the most poetic meal I've ever had, old man. ”

"You scholars just can speak, although I can't understand the little old man, but I just feel comfortable listening." A few words coaxed the old man's face to smile, and he said with great interest: "Childe, the little old man has made some fruit wine by himself, you wait, I'll move here." ”

Guo Chengsi watched the old man leave with a smile, and then looked at the simple stone house with dim lights, and a faint worry rose in his heart. He knew that she had always been a person with great ideas, and as long as she made up her mind, no one would want to change it. Although he really wanted to use some means to send her back to Chang'an first, as long as she frowned and looked at him with watery eyes, his heart softened and he could only raise his hand in surrender.

Guo Chengsi looked around, this place was in a hidden mountain col, if she was allowed to stay here for seven days, her own affairs should be done

He thought to himself, Zhong Ziyuan walked out without noticing. She smiled, tiptoed up behind him, and slammed into his shoulder. Coquettish said: "What are you thinking about being so distracted, are you thinking about how to drive me away?" ”

Guo Chengsi took advantage of the situation to hug her slender waist and hugged her to his lap. Then hold her hand tightly. They snuggled up to each other like this, their breaths melted, and their fingers were inseparable.

The evening breeze blows slowly, and passing by the creek brings a pleasant coolness. This cool breath hits people's faces and bodies, which is very comfortable, and the sticky and dry heat of the day is immediately swept away.

Guo Chengsi smiled lowly. put his forehead against her forehead, and said helplessly: "I have suffered so much, why haven't I been afraid." I don't know how to protect myself! ”

Zhong Ziyuan grinned and said, "You know that I am not afraid of any hardship, but you are afraid that when you are injured, I will not be by your side." She held out her warm palm. Gently press on the area where he had been injured earlier. muttered: "This is already the biggest chagrin and regret in my life, we are finally together, I must stay where I can see you, and don't let such regrets happen again." ”

Is there a more beautiful love story than this? Guo Chengsi sighed, his lips gently crossed her cheeks, and then gently covered her lips, grinding longingly, slowly aggravating Zhong Ziyuan's knees. Hurriedly reached out and hugged his waist tightly, and responded sweetly and shamefully.

After a long time. She suddenly pushed him away and whispered shyly, "There are still people!" ”

Guo Chengsi smiled lightly, gently helped her smooth her clothes, and let go of her.

Zhong Ziyuan had just sat down on the tung oil cloth, and the old man walked out of the house with a big wine jar in his arms. He poured a bowl for Guo Chengsi and Zhong Ziyuan, and said: "This wine is brewed by Xiao Lao'er picking wild fruits on the mountain, sweet and sour, and it is most suitable for drinking in such a summer." ”

Zhong Ziyuan picked up the coarse porcelain bowl and took a sip carefully, sure enough, it was sweet and sour, with a faint taste of wine, it was very delicious, and she couldn't help but take another big sip.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, these are all things in the mountains, although they are not as good as your daily ones, they are still delicious." The old man greeted him very warmly.

Zhong Ziyuan was already hungry, she took a piece of black and Junjun meat from the bowl in front of her, and said curiously, "What is this?" ”

The old man introduced: "This is wild boar, as well as braised roe deer meat, stewed pheasant with hazel mushrooms, steamed bacon fish, and taro soup." This is a bitter and bitter vegetable, boiled in hot water and then cold, although it tastes a little bitter, but it is very sour. Girl, try it and see if it suits your taste. ”

Don't look at the fact that these dishes don't look very good, but they taste good. The wild boar is ripe, the roe deer meat is burnt, the pheasant meat is extremely fresh, the taro is soft and glutinous, and the sweet and sour fruit wine makes Zhong Ziyuan eat very happily.

After taking a few sips of wine, Guo Chengsi said curiously: "The old man is obviously a Han Chinese, how can he be isolated from the world in the territory of the Khitan people and become a hunter?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "Listen to my father, in the past, the Khitan people were powerful and strong, and they often went to the border near the border to provoke and rob, and they also captured the Han people and came back as slaves and maids. This is how my ancestors were brought to Shangjing, and then my grandfather was young and vigorous and did not want to be enslaved by the Khitans anymore, so he took my grandmother and fled into this Kashgar Mountain and became an Orion.

Grandpa originally wanted to find a chance to return to Juchong Pass, but then I had my father, and then I was dragged back. Later, my grandfather saw that there was everything in the Kashgar Mountains, and although the life was hard, he could go on, so he simply dispelled the idea of going back and settled down. It's just that my grandfather has talked to me countless times about his relatives and friends in Juchong Pass, and I know that he actually wants to go back in his dreams. ”

"I see." Guo Chengsi felt compassion in his heart, the people at the border are always the most bitter and the most resilient. They are like dandelion seeds, no matter where they are blown by the wind, no matter how trampled and destroyed, as long as they are given a little water and the soil can take root and flourish.

The old man was worried about the tiger in the house, and after hurriedly filling his stomach, he pulled a big bowl of vegetables back to the house.

The sky was getting darker, the mountain wind was blowing, and more and more fireflies were flying out of the grass. Twinkle and twinkle, like countless mischievous stars falling into the mortal world.

Guo Chengsi was still chattering: "After tonight, I have to go down the mountain, and I will come up the mountain to pick you up in seven days." Yelu Tilie will not give up if he loses his account book, and he will definitely send a large number of people to search for it inside and outside Shangjing. During this time, you should take care of yourself and never go down the mountain to reveal your whereabouts. After all, this is Shangjing, not Chang'an, and there are crises everywhere. ”

Zhong Ziyuan said dissatisfiedly: "Obviously, the people from the North Courtyard and Zhao Yiming stole the account books, why should he trouble me." ”

"You know this, I know it, but Jerodreth does not know it. It's just that you're missing along with the account books, and this account won't be counted on your head. Guo Chengsi sneered: "Speaking of which, this Yelu Tilie is not only extremely hateful, but also a poor worm, and he doesn't know it when he is calculated by the person next to him.
