Chapter 181: Secret Place
Han Yan told Gu Qingyan that they had decided to participate in the Sword Sect banquet, and Gu Qingyan readily agreed to go together, but when he looked back, he didn't bring anything when he came out, and now the clothes on his body were still prepared by Han Yan, and he was still a little embarrassed for a while.
Thinking of this, he called Beiming and asked him to let him, Dong Ling and the others go back to Taohuajian first, talk about the situation with Xu Shaolin and Zong Yue, and then go to the Pure Heart Courtyard to ask Su Xin to help pack up his clothes, and then go to the Hidden Sword Gate to meet him.
Bei Ming responded and asked, "Master, do you want to go back to the wind?" ”
Gu Qingyan thought about it, Fufeng has just woken up now, it stands to reason that his body is still relatively weak, and it is better to toss less distance, but if he wants to put Fufeng alone in Qingquan Villa, he is afraid that Fufeng will feel awkward.
"Go and ask the doctor what he said, and then see what Fufeng means."
"Yes."
Speaking of Fufeng, Gu Qingyan remembered Su Xin, so he said again: "By the way, you will also take Su Xin with you when you go back." ”
"Yes."
In this way, Gu Qingyan sent Beiming and them away on the second day, but Fufeng still stayed after all, for fear that he would be awkward, Gu Qingyan also left Dongsheng to accompany him.
Han Yan and Lin Rui began to prepare for the people they were going to take to the Sword Sect Banquet, after all, this trip had to be compared to the way of the sword.
Gu Qingyan saw that Han Yan was busy, so she didn't bother much, she just walked around the villa when she had nothing to do, she originally thought that if the people who didn't return to the city were haunted near Xieyang City, she would still be able to move her muscles and bones, who would have thought that these people would hide cleanly, after Jicheng Fengxi cleaned up a few, he saw that they had the intention of retreating, and it was estimated that Yan Yan had given an order.
And Gu Qingyan is really boring in the villa, unlike in the Pure Heart Courtyard, she can still fiddle with her bottles and cans when she is fine, but now she is fine, she can only wander around, pull the grass around her, and be in a daze.
After thinking about the absence of a few brothers for a while, she still missed a little bit of nagging in her ears, and for a while she felt that Su Xin and Beiming were always empty when they were not around, and she really wanted to go to Dongsheng and Fufeng for nothing, and she was afraid of disturbing the two of them to rest and recuperate.
The elders in the villa have not returned, and they have nowhere to go if they want to show their filial piety.
I couldn't help but sigh softly: "Eh...."
"What do you think?" Han Yan's voice suddenly appeared behind him, Gu Qingyan turned his head, he didn't know how long Han Yan had been standing behind him, he looked at himself with a smile with his hands behind his back.
Gu Qingyan smiled "hehe": "Are you done?" ”
Han Yan walked up to Gu Qingyan, took the grass she had been playing with for an unknown amount of time, looked at the "tortured" grass, and said, "I won't finish my work, I'm just afraid that the flowers and plants in my villa will suffer." ”
At the end, he added: "It is not easy for the masters to maintain flowers and plants." ”
Gu Qingyan listened, raised his hand and was about to hit Hanyan, but his hand stopped in mid-air, and he put it down again in a deflated manner, muttering: "I can be regarded as knowing the reason why Tanxue doesn't want to come back." ”
"Because it's so stuffy?" Han Yan answered.
Gu Qingyan blinked his eyes and said, "You know it too." "There seems to be a hint of accusation.
Han Yan smiled: "Let's go, take you somewhere." ”
As he spoke, he took Gu Qingyan's hand, and was in a good mood to take her somewhere.
Gu Qingyan was led away like this, and kept asking curiously: "Where are you going?" Where to go? ”
She couldn't remember any place in Qingquan Villa that was more mysterious than the Bliss Dwelling in her stone gate.
Han Yan didn't answer, and pulled her across the garden of the atrium, looking like she was going to the back garden, which was a place that Gu Qingyan rarely went, after all, it was the place where the disciples of Qingquan Villa practiced.
Bypassing the place where they were practicing, Han Yan had no intention of stopping, and Gu Qingyan didn't know where to go anymore, so he had to follow him all the way to the last courtyard of the villa, went out through the back door next to him, and walked a small road, Gu Qingyan felt a little different.
"These flowers...."
The roadside was full of many unknown small flowers, red, yellow, purple and green in various colors, in a row, the plants were not too tall, and they could effortlessly gently brush each petal on the tips of Gu Qingyan's naturally drooping fingers.
She could not remember a place like this, not so much the scenery of the mountain trails as the flower beds that were carefully tended by someone.
Han Yan smiled at her, and didn't say anything, the place he was going to bring her to, this was just the beginning.
There is a faint fragrance in the air, like the sweetness mixed with the rain, and with the breeze, there seems to be nothing. Gu Qingyan looked for the trace of this fragrance, and unconsciously walked into the depths of the flower garden.
She; I didn't pay attention, I had been holding her hand, but I had just let go, and the footsteps behind me did not follow, but I stood in the outer circle of the flower garden, watching her swim lightly among the flowers.
There were regularly arranged apricot blossom trees, all of which had bloomed, and the plain flowers were smeared with a gradient of red, like the carmine blush on a woman's cheeks.
She was looking for flowers, and he stopped to look at her....
A pair of butterflies flew on the branches, and she also stopped, and wanted to turn around and ask the person next to her if she had seen it, but she turned her head, but saw that the person was not far away, staring at her face to face, and a kind of joy arose in her heart, and the corners of her mouth were curled but she didn't want to let him see it directly, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, wanting to cover up, and for a while she forgot that the pair of butterflies were wrapped around the branch, and she was not disturbed by her movements.
"It's time to go." When Gu Qingyan raised her head again, Han Yan had already come to her side, and while talking, he reached out to take the petals that fell from her head for her.
Gu Qingyan looked at the petals falling on the ground and said, "It's time to thank you." ”
"The flowers are gone, and soon there will be fruit."
Han Yan took Gu Qingyan's hand as usual and continued to walk forward with her.
"That.... Can we come and steal the fruit? The little idea of doing evil in Gu Qingyan's heart suddenly came to mind.
Stealing fruits is such a thing, they didn't do much when they were young, but there were a lot of them, basically Xu Shaolin was in charge of commanding, Zong Yue was covering, Gu Qingyan went up the tree, and Baili Mo helped catch their results, as for Han Yan, when he was there, he contracted them after they were discovered.
Han Yan raised his head and patted Gu Qingyan's head, but he followed her words and said, "Whatever you want." ”
"So where the hell are we going?" Gu Qingyan asked.
Han Yan remained silent, but his hand pointed to a house that could be faintly seen not far away.
Gu Qingyan sighed, this place can be regarded as the back mountain of Qingquan Villa, and she and Su Tanxue had never seen this world when she and Su Tanxue were picking morning dew last time, so she asked Hanyan the reason for it.
Han Yan explained: "This mountain forest is not small, but it is also divided into forests and inhabited places, we have gone down since we left the villa, and it is not uncommon for people to have people's homes, the last time you and you explored the snow and picked morning dew went to the depths of the forest." ”
After speaking, Gu Qingyan pondered carefully, it seemed that this was the case, and he didn't notice anything different before.
The two came to the door of the house while talking, but Gu Qingyan found that although he could see the door, he had to pass through an orchard to get there, and Gu Qingyan was very familiar with those fruit trees.
"Peach Tree!" The peach blossoms have fallen clean, and the scene of lush branches and leaves is very spring-like, but the peach trees are planted in front of the door, so there must not be a lot of insects.
Han Yan shrugged his shoulders, although this is the case, the open space in front of the door is the largest, and it has become the most suitable place to think about it.
"Young master, you are here."
A woman came out of the courtyard, with a pair of jumping children, and the boy had a long braid behind his hair, which was not very long, and tied it with a red rope, and when she ran up, she threw it from side to side strangely cute.
The boy tried to climb the tree but was dragged down by the girl, and then pulled by the collar and carried it aside, the girl leaned forward with her hands on her waist, and the immature child's voice said the words she had learned from the adults.
The boy was taught that he didn't dare to speak, and he lowered his head with his hands behind his back, and his glutinous appearance was very cute.
"Let the young owner and the girl laugh." Madame spoke again, and then made a gesture to invite Han Yan and Gu Qingyan into the house.
Gu Qingyan looked at the woman's facial features, although she had pulled all her hair, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows had not yet left traces of the destruction of time, and she looked at the age of the two children, Gu Qingyan left a question mark in her heart, but she did not speak.
After entering the house, there was an old man, who walked out of the inner room with a cane in his hand, his eyes didn't seem to be very good, and his voice was hoarse and asked, "Nan Chu, is the young owner here?" ”
The woman, named Nanchu, replied, "Yes, Aweng." ”
"The old man's eyes are inconvenient, the young owner and this guest are at their own convenience, Nanchu, you are so good." The old man's hoarse voice was a little upright, and to Gu Qingyan's ears, it was even more rusty than that of a stranger.
Unconsciously looked at Han Yan, and after Han Yan nodded back to her with a reassuring nod, Fang and the old man said: "Ah Weng doesn't need to see outside, the fourth girl is an important person in my heart, and the two of us are here today just to relax, and then let's come to see Luo Chen and Yi Ning." ”
As soon as Han Yan mentioned the names of these two children, the old man couldn't help but sigh lightly, holding the cane with both hands, and shook his head gently.
Gu Qingyan was even more distracted by Han Yan's sentence "an important person in his heart", looking at Han Yan's red ears, he felt a heat on his face, and he saw Nan Chu looking at the two of them with a smile, and he also smiled back with an embarrassed smile.
After drinking a bowl of water, Gu probably understood the origin of this family, and also knew that the relationship between them and Hanyan was like a very tacit friend.
"I didn't plant peach trees before, a few years ago there was a frost here, and a batch of fruit trees that were originally planted died, and then I thought they could live one after another, so I cleared them all, tried one or two batches, and this peach tree came to life, and I planted it in front of the door."
They just said goodbye to the old man, Nan Chu took Han Yan and Gu Qingyan to another orchard, and when they got out of the yard, Nan Chu chatted with them about this batch of peach trees.
"So, they can bear peaches?" Gu Qingyan asked.
There are also many peach trees in the peach blossom stream, but they only bloom for several years, and the fruits are inedible.
Nan Chu nodded: "These are specially used to bear peaches, and after bearing fruit, they will be taken out and sold." ”
"Is it the idea of stealing peaches again?" Han Yan saw the glint in Gu Qingyan's eyes, and knew what she was thinking about again.
Gu Qingyan, who had been seen through, stuck out her tongue at him, and said in her heart: How can this person say it? Then he didn't forget to glare at Han Yan.
Their small interaction was seen in Nan Chu's eyes, which made Nan Chu really feel that the two were a good match: "When the fruit is ripe, I think the young owner will tell the four girls, and the four girls can take advantage of our absence to try to steal it." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled, she shouldn't go down or refuse, now Nan Chu gave her a feeling that was still a little mysterious, she felt that there were always some things behind this person that could not be deliberately explored, but she felt comfortable getting along with her, and she didn't have to ask about each other's past, nor did she care about each other's future.
How to say, it's like a gentleman's friendship is as light as water, and Pingshui is a guest when they meet.
