Chapter 52: Into the Mountain

Changshu raised her lips: "You know now." ”

The young man jumped out like a rabbit: "Sister Huan, I'm going to wash my hands, it's okay right away, you wait for me." ”

Changshu stood up, took the ripe chicken off the bonfire, and kicked Xuanmo next to him by the way: "The one that grows on the edge of the water is a canna, you go pick some leaves, and by the way, tell Xiu Qi, that kind of flower has nectar underneath, and it tastes very good, he should like it." ”

Xuan Mo glanced at her: "You are quite fond of the second son." ”

Changshu raised his eyebrows: "This is my younger brother, I don't spoil him, who else will spoil him?" ”

A young man under the age of thirteen, born in a family of royal power and wealth, but he can still maintain such a pure heart, even if his temperament is a little flamboyant, it is not a big problem, Changshu is naturally willing to include people under his wings to protect.

It's better than spoiling some white-eyed wolves, well-behaved and sensible in front of her, looking loyal to her, but stabbing her behind her back.

Changshu has always had a good relationship with the regent palace, and she looks at people without prejudice, in her eyes, whether it is the regent or the prince, or this young man who has not yet entered the dynasty and is not very reliable, she is not as ambitious as the royal family thinks.

Xuan Mo said: "There should be many young princes in the palace, and I haven't heard how good the princess is to them." ”

Changshu raised his head and looked at him expressionlessly: "Who are you disgusting here when you mention those people at this time?" ”

Changshu made it clear that she didn't like those people in the palace at all.

Xuan Mo was told by her and walked away with a smile.

Coming to the canna that Changshu said, Xuan Mo raised his eyes and swept it, looking at the young man who was squatting by the stream and rubbing his hands vigorously, looking at his posture, he was afraid that he wanted to rub off a piece of skin.

Xuan Mo smiled: "Second son, don't be too nervous, although it is poisonous, it is still a good medicine for blood circulation and blood stasis, it is not as terrible as you think." ”

The boy looked up at him and motioned for him to continue.

Xuan Mo then explained: "Changshu also said, it just can't enter the blood, and it can be used when there is no blood, for example, where it is twisted, it is good to apply it externally." ”

The young man looked a little sad: "Why do I touch any grass at random, it is all medicinal herbs?" ”

Xuan Mo smiled dumbly: "Your sister Changshu seems to be a medicinal herb, but in the eyes of laypeople like us, it is grass." ”

Xuan Mo raised the leaf in his hand: "Changshu said, this red flower has nectar in it, and the sweet taste is very good, do you want to give it a try?" ”

Mu Xiuqi paused to wash his hands, and said decisively: "Yes." ”

Xuan Mo didn't speak again, picked enough leaves and left, leaving the young man here alone to pick flowers diligently.

After picking about five or six flowers, Mu Xiuqi went back: "Sister Huan, this nectar??" ”

Changshu smiled, took the flower in his hand, broke off the flower pedicle, and then stuffed the broken end of the flower into his mouth: "Try? ”

The young man's eyes lit up: "Sweet." ”

The corners of Changshu's lips unconsciously rose: "The taste of this is almost the same if you try it, don't you want to try the pheasant you hunted yourself?" We had to go to the mountains in the afternoon, and there were still a lot of wild fruits in the mountains at this time, and the taste was also very good. ”

The young man nodded, as if he had encountered something new, his eyebrows were both happy and expectant, and there was a hint of curiosity, obviously he was very interested in what Changshu said.

It feels like he's unlocked a new skill.

Xuan Mo couldn't stand it anymore: "I said, second son, you are also a man who stands up to the sky, and you are about to reach the age when you can talk about marriage, you still like to be coquettish with Changshu like this, do your father and son know?" ”

Mu Xiuqi glared at him: "Are you jealous? ”

Xuan Mo raised his eyebrows and said strangely: "What am I jealous of you?" ”

The boy snorted: "Of course I'm jealous that I have a sister." ”

Xuan Mo wanted to tell him that this sister was not a relative at all, but after looking at Changshu's attitude of obviously favoring someone, he didn't speak again.

Cousins are also brothers and sisters.

Changshu smiled and handed a chicken leg to the young man: "Hurry up and eat, we will go into the mountain after eating." ”

"Okay, Sister Changshu."

The young man glanced at him triumphantly, and his tone was exceptionally well-behaved.

After staying here for a while in the afternoon, Changshu and Xuanmo began to pack their things and prepare to go to the mountains, several of them were people who practiced martial arts, and there were not many things, and the mountain road was not difficult to walk, so it was not difficult for them at all.

All the way into the mountains, until they reached an inaccessible valley, the speed of a few people slowly slowed down?

Xuan Mo carried his own sword to open the way in front of him, the sword that was incomparably sharp on the battlefield in the past was now reduced to a woodcutter in his hand.

The young man looked at him, then at the long sword in his hand, and said enviously: "I have heard that Brother Mo's sword is a magic weapon that sharpens iron like clay, and I have always wanted to see it, but I didn't expect that the first time I saw it, it would be used on such an occasion. ”

Xuan Mo glanced at him coldly: "Changshu told you to remember to bring a woodcutter, if you hadn't forgotten to bring it, I wouldn't have used a murderous sword to cut down trees." ”

This made him very unhappy.

Of course, this kind of unhappiness is not aimed at Changshu, Xuan Mo only thinks that it is the boy's fault, so his unhappiness is all against the boy.

Mu Xiuqi was aggrieved: "Then I didn't mean it." ”

Xuan Mo looked at the bow he was holding in his hand, as well as the arrow he was carrying behind his back: "You have quite a complete set of hunting tools." ”

The young man was at a loss, looking at Changshu with blank eyes, hoping that she could stand on his side.

Changshu touched his head and said with a smile, "Good." ”

Mu Xiuqi was even more depressed.

But this depression did not last long, and when they finally found a way out of the woods, Mu Xiuqi saw an elk drinking water in the meadow by the river.

He turned his head excitedly to look at Changshu, then at Xuan Mo, and his tone was excited: "Sister Huan, Brother Mo, this ......"

Xuan Mo looked at him: "Have you eaten the venison pot?" ”

What else did he not understand, the boy was in the middle of the path, and shot at the elk with his bow and arrow.

The deer, which was drinking water, was frightened and ran towards the woods.

The young man hurriedly followed, bending his bow and arrows as he chased.

Changshu followed him slowly: "You say, can I continue to pick up someone by the water today." ”

Xuan Mo instantly remembered the scene when Changshu brought him back, and when he heard Changshu say this, he smiled dumbly: "I don't think so." ”
