After eating the rabbit, Ji Lin put out the fire with earth, pressed another stone on it, and then washed the short knife on the side of the mountain stream.

Every time Ji Lin took a step, Qingqiu followed suit, and Ji Lin pursed his lips and snickered.

The two sat down and rested for a while, and Ji Lin said, "Qingqiu, let's go, let's go down the mountain!" ”

"No, I'm not going back!" As soon as he heard that he was going back, Qingqiu stopped doing it again, pouting and ignoring Ji Lin.

"If you don't go back, do you want to be a wild man in the mountains and forests?" Ji Lin tilted his head to look at Qingqiu, although he looked a little bit like a lady, he was actually still an ignorant child in his bones.

Qingqiu glanced at Ji Lin, raised his delicate eyebrows and said, "Even if I am a wild man for a lifetime and eat wild meat for a lifetime, I won't go back."

Ji Lin was really amused by her cute appearance.

"Little fool, how can you be so willful, go back quickly, parents should be in a hurry."

"If I go back today, it's better not to come out yesterday, since I came out, I have to have the value of coming out, at least let them know that what I decided can't be changed by anyone, so Brother Ji Lin, if you are really good for me, don't persuade me anymore, when it's time to go back, I will naturally go back."

Ji Lin was shocked by Qingqiu's words, an eight-year-old child is so assertive? Thinking so maturely?

"Okay, I won't persuade you anymore, you can do it yourself......" Ji Lin's eyes rolled, and his chin raised at Qingqiu and said, "Then what are you going to do now?" Or...... Shall we go to pick wild fruits? ”

Suddenly, Qingqiu's beautiful eyes shone brightly, clapping her little hands and jumping up.

"Yes, yes! I haven't picked wild fruit yet! The wild fruit must be as delicious as the rabbit you roasted, Brother Ji Lin! ”

Then, Qingqiu followed Ji Lin all the way around the mountains and fields, and tasted the fruits that she had never eaten since she was so old. And Ji Lin is always gentle and gentle to her, and the red, beautiful, biggest, and sweetest fruits are fed directly to Qingqiu's mouth very naturally, as if she should enjoy the best.

In just three days with Ji Lin, Qingqiu felt extremely happy, much more interesting than in the palace. Ji Lin also used the past few days to help Qingqiu remake a bow, and also taught her archery, and personally shot down a pheasant, for which Qingqiu was very proud.

But happy times always slip away inadvertently, Ji Lin saw Qingqiu sitting on a piece of dry wood in a daze, this is a rare state in the past few days, after all, she is only eight years old, she should miss her mother, right? I don't know how many times I cried when she was her age.

So he asked softly: "Qingqiu, are you homesick!" ”

When Qingqiu heard this, he pursed his lips and nodded, but he didn't cry.

"Well, I have to go back! However...... "Qingqiu wanted to speak and stopped.

"But what?"

"Brother Ji Lin...... I love being with you! ”

After all, Ji Lin is already a teenager who has entered puberty, even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he will not express it as bluntly as a little girl, but just smiles slightly.

Qingqiu is leaving, but he is reluctant to give up on Ji Lin, who has become dependent, including the admiration for his brother, and the hazy liking of the ignorant girl, who is a little teary-eyed.

"Brother Ji Lin, if you and I say goodbye today, can we see each other again in the future?"

Seeing Qingqiu's look of Ai Ai, Ji Lin tried his best to be sincere, staring at Qingqiu with a smile in his eyes, when the two met their eyes, Qingqiu lowered his head shyly, Ji Lin said softly but surely: "We will meet again if we have a fate!" ”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and a few drops of rain from the thatch at the entrance of the cave got into Qingqiu's collar, and Qingqiu was excited, as if he had woken up from a dream, and pulled his thoughts back to reality from his memories.

Seeing that the rain was still falling, Xi Fei was worried: what if this rain kept raining one after another? Could it be that the sky can't stand it anymore and have compassion for her? God, if you really have mercy on the little girl, this rain will be less for a while, let the little girl leave this filthy place quickly!

It's strange to say, Xi Fei had just finished meditating in her heart, and the raindrops of beans gradually turned into fine rain, and then there was a gust of wind, which seemed to blow the rain elsewhere, the rain stopped completely, and then a rainbow hung in the sky.

It should be high and cool in autumn, but it is dry and cold rain for no reason.

It was supposed to be raining in autumn, but it was pouring rain like summer.

It was still stormy just now, and in the blink of an eye, the rain passed and the sky was clear. Qingqiu smiled sadly, the situation is unpredictable, isn't this just like his own life? The relationship with Xi Hou has been trampled on for no reason, making it impossible to accept this reality.

When the coachman saw that the rain had stopped, he hurriedly went to wipe the rain off the carriage, and the maids had been pondering when they saw that Xi Fei had been thinking about it, and did not dare to disturb her, but when they saw that she had come to her senses, they said, "Madam, the rain has passed and the sky is clear, or we shall hurry on the road!" ”

"Yes, yes, let's hurry at dawn!"

Xiangming and Xiangling helped Xifei into the carriage one by one, and continued to move forward with bumps all the way.

Xi Fei's thoughts returned to the past.

When Qingqiu, who stayed in the cave for three days and three nights, was reluctant to part with Ji Lin, she had a heart at a young age, and did not tell him that she was the princess of Chen Guo, and deliberately concealed the reason, just hoping that they could meet again next time, and did not want their pure friendship to be mixed with some interests between countries and make it tasteless.

"Brother Ji Lin, just send me here! My home is just around the corner. As soon as the two of them walked out of the mountains and forests, Qingqiu stopped.

Ji Lin saw that since Qingqiu could enter this reckless forest alone, and stayed for three days without a family to find her, she must not be the daughter of a big family, maybe she was just a little girl from a peasant family with a relatively good family background, who loved to read, and was educated, and it was common for her to help the family do farm work in and out of the mountains and forests on weekdays, so he believed her words.

Without the contrast of the dense foliage in the forest, Ji Lin's watery eyes are even clearer.

"Sister Qingqiu, I will hunt in this mountain forest from time to time, if you want to eat wild game again, go to the cave to find me, by the way, do you remember the road up the mountain?"

It's a goodbye, and it's an invitation to the next reunion.

Qingqiu nodded briskly, revealing two shallow dimples, which were very good-looking.

"Don't worry, it's our secret stronghold, of course remember, I'll come back to you again."

Don't say goodbye, the two of them go their separate ways.

When Qingqiu, who had been missing for three days and three nights, appeared in the palace again, it was hard to believe that when Qingqiu saw the queen mother who had cried into tears, she pounced with her arms open like an old hen protecting her chicks, and hugged herself into her arms, she still stubbornly hid the bow made by Ji Lin behind her.

"Qingqiu, my son, where have you been these days, let Weiniang be so anxious, I even thought it was ...... Thought something had happened to you...... Let Weiniang see, is there any injury? The queen was no longer weeping.

"Mother, Qingqiu is fine! Don't cry, it's okay! Qingqiu took the bow in one hand and used one hand to gently wipe away the tears on the queen mother's face.

The father, who has always loved Qingqiu, came over and stroked his daughter's hair and said: "After you disappeared in the past few days, your queen mother didn't think about tea and dinner, and regretted it very much, I knew that I wouldn't be able to find you, so she wouldn't stop you from riding a horse and archery." ”

As soon as Qingqiu heard that there was a play, she hurriedly pushed the boat down the river, looked at her father slyly and said, "The queen mother regrets it? You mean that after Qingqiu, you can learn martial arts and play with bows and arrows! ”
