"Isn't it to celebrate?"

Under the familiar mountaintop tree, Guichen Muran looked at the girl standing in front of him with a hemp rope in her hand, and her eyes were full of silent accusations.

Guichen thought that this person was going to celebrate, but he still carried the hemp rope up the mountain as usual.

"Let's finish today's training first and then celebrate," Ying Baoyue smiled at him, "I'll treat everyone to a big dinner in the evening." ”

Banquet...... I guess it means eating something delicious, right?

Guichen looked around the area except for the trees and stones, and wondered where the meal was.

However, looking at the girl who ran with him in the morning and caught her, Guichen endured the pain all over his body and silently waved the hemp rope.

No matter what happens, she won't stop what she's going to do.

Well, he can't stop either.

Maybe one day, he will be able to catch a glimpse of that glimmer of light.

In the endless darkness of powerlessness, he can also ......

"Smack."

Sweat hit the ground dripping out dents one by one, the rope in the young man's hand stopped, the afterglow of the setting sun passed through the dense forest, and the speckled hits on his shoulders, and Guichen just looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.

Many years later, he felt he would still remember it.

It's difficult, you can't do it, you have to be talented, it's waste, and it's useless to work hard.

His childhood was filled with such voices.

He used to think so all along.

But one day, just as the sun was about to set, a snap suddenly sounded in front of him.

crushed all his childish and evasive thoughts.

Because, the hemp rope in the girl's hand was broken.

The sun sets and the night falls.

It was the thirteenth day that the girl was in the woods talking to him about his whimsical plan to skip rope.

"Smack".

At the last moment of the day on June 15, the seventh year of the Warring States Period, the first hemp rope in Ying Baoyue's hand broke.

It turns out that hemp rope can really be broken.

Guichen took his tattered hemp rope and stared at the hemp rope in front of Ying Baoyue's hand that was divided into two, his eyes were stunned and his heart was beating like a drum.

Although it is the thinnest one, it is the same as in his hand, and the goal of jumping off the pile of hemp rope was originally so unattainable in his eyes, but he didn't expect the girl in front of him to tell him with his actions that it was not that he couldn't do it, but that no one did it so repeatedly.

The first hemp rope, thirteen days.

It's her speed.

The speed he didn't expect.

And she...... I didn't seem to think of it, and I seemed to be thinking about something else.

At the moment when she jumped, Guichen saw Ying Baoyue looking at the broken rope in her hand in a daze, stunned for a long time, and then she smiled.

She smiled a lot, but it was a smile she hadn't seen before.

"This one in your hand should be about the same," Ying Baoyue noticed Guichen's gaze and turned to look at him and said, "Don't worry. ”

He wasn't worried, Guichen squeezed the rope in his hand, she had much less time to rest than him for skipping rope, and it was natural to be faster than him.

It's really humiliating for people who are smaller than their own bodies to be slower.

But she taught him what was possible.

Looking at Yinghuyue, who was staring at him worriedly, it didn't matter if he returned to his heart.

He had a hunch that as long as this person was by his side, he would be able to do it.

It's like there's an infinite amount of power to keep trying.

"I'll do my best!" Guichen shouted out the new words he had learned from her these days, clenched his fists and smiled hopefully and said loudly, "Give me another day and I can break it!" ”

"Well, I'm sure you can do it," Ying Baoyue, a young man who looked at the boiling blood, also laughed, "It's getting dark, let's go prepare dinner first." ”

If she could, she really wanted to see the teenager jump off the first rope.

But it was really dark too early.

……

……

"This ...... What is it? ”

When twilight fell, Gui Li, who was standing at the door of the small courtyard with a lantern, looked at the things that Guichen and Ying Baoyue carried in.

"It's ...... Deer. ”

Guichen unloaded the thing and dragged it to the center of his yard, wiping his sweat and widening his eyes.

"I know it's a deer, but this ......" Gui Li couldn't believe his eyes as he looked at the beast that was more than a man tall, "it's you...... You guys? ”

To be precise, she hit it, and Guichen looked at the deer on the ground blankly and was no longer powerless and surprised.

This woman really does what she says.

It's a big meal.

"Well," Ying Baoyue, who was standing behind Guichen, smiled, "Today is the fifteenth, and everyone hasn't met anything during the day, so to celebrate, we have a good meal tonight." ”

Have a good ......

Ying hugged the moon and rolled up her sleeves, "Let's roast the deer and eat it!" ”

……

……

This night, the courtyard that has always been deserted ignited with a red fire, and under the aroma and the dancing firelight, Gui Li's originally sharp and cold gaze was reflected in it.

The warm flames, the fireworks in the world, the mother's smile, the beads of sweat on the brother's forehead, and the woman's quiet but smiling gaze.

It's like a dream.

"Come on, let's eat." A roasted deer leg was handed to her, the sizzling oil glow of the roast shimmering in the firelight, accompanied by the smell of meat, which could simply provoke the most primitive longing of the human heart.

Gui Li raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him with her sleeves still stained with cigarette ash on her cheeks.

"What? Don't you love meat? Ying Baoyue looked at the motionless little girl strangely.

Should I prepare something else?

"Li'er?" Mu Shi and Guichen, who were busy roasting deer, also saw it.

"No, it's not," Gui Li clutched a jade pendant that his brother had given him at noon, reached out and took the hot deer leg, and took a big bite.

Delicious.

She hadn't eaten anything so delicious in a long time.

"Is it delicious?" Ying Baoyue asked.

Guili nodded with venison in his mouth.

"That's good," Ying Baoyue looked at her and smiled, stretched out her hand to touch her head, but looking at the girl with a complicated expression with her head down, she withdrew her hand, "If the taste is salty and light, if you tell me, I'll add some spices." ”

"Hmm." Return to the low road.

"Bright Moon! Bring some charcoal! Not far away, there was a shout of returning, and Ying Baoyue turned her head, "This is coming!" ”

Ying Baoyue turned around and was about to walk towards Guichen, who was roasting hot, when a faint voice came from behind him.

"Thank you."

Ying Baoyue turned her head in a daze, but Guili lowered her head and nibbled on venison, as if nothing had happened.

She smiled and walked over to Guichen's side, and got busy again.

"It really looks more and more like our children," Gui Li looked up after the man left, and before he could peep, Muhammad's voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Mother!" Guili was taken aback and looked at his mother who was wiping her hands next to her.

"I might not be that easy to buy," Gui Li pursed his lips, "don't want me to call her sister." ”

"Uh-huh," Mu looked at his stubborn little daughter, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and reached out and pushed her behind her back.

"But you also go to help, it's so big, don't just want to eat ready-made."

"Go, go," Gui Li stomped his foot and ran to the roast deer, while Muhammad took a step back and watched the three children roast the deer.

If you can, this scene is really like a family.

The fragrance of the flame is surrounded by everyone to eat barbecue, which is the most beautiful fireworks belonging to the family.

It's been a long time since I've had that much fun and fun.

In the steam, Guichen sat in the bathtub and was still reminiscing about the scene just now.

However, happy times are always fleeting, touching a well-fed stomach, Guichen violently splashed hot water on his face, washing away the sweat of the day and the smell of charcoal fire.

In the future, he will work harder so that his family can eat meat every day, and this kind of night will definitely continue.

Certain......

Just as Guichen fell into his thoughts, a very slight squeak sounded in his ears.

"Guichen, I'm in."

Hiss, Guichen shrank down violently with a shock.

Almost drowned in the tub.

This...... She...... What's wrong with that?
