Chapter 41: A Walk
It took two days to go from Huainan Mansion to Huaizhou City, and when I arrived at Huaizhou City, it was already dark, and I was tired of traveling and driving, and I went to sleep before I entered the post house, and I will talk about it tomorrow.
I woke up early the next morning, downstairs or the sound of the master's sword dance, I pushed open the back window to look outside, not far away, because the morning fog is shrouded, the progress can be very low, Huaizhou City is a hilly landform place, winding and winding hills, not bald mountains, is full of trees and grass green hills. Between the hills are some flat land, on which crops are grown, and some of the mounds have been reclaimed and turned into terraces. It feels like a fairyland, a misty world.
After getting up, I went to find Qi Rong and took him out for a walk, there is nothing to do today anyway, let's practice sword later. knocked on the door, Qi Rong came to open the door by himself wearing a silver-white brocade robe: "I knew it was you." I'm already dressed, so I'm going to practice my sword. ”
"Let's practice swords later today, I want to go out for a walk, you see this environment, it's too different from the imperial city, how about we go out for a walk." I'll go and talk to the master, don't go far and it's nearby. ”
"Okay, then I'll go down with you."
Downstairs, came to the master, Zuozuo has already begun to take a step, it is estimated that he will go to learn the first chapter in a while, and he didn't say hello when he saw us, and the master was still there. I arched my fist: "Master, I'll go out for a walk with Qi Rong, and I'll come back to practice swords later." ”
The master didn't mean to stop: "Go ahead, take two guards." ”
"Don't bring it, just take a walk around the neighborhood."
"How far?"
"It's in this recess, and I can hear you when you call me."
"Go, go early and come back early."
"Yes." Qi Rong and I arched our fists at the master and left.
We went out from the back door, not far from the door is a large bamboo forest, walking in the bamboo forest feels cool and cool, as if the fairy is around, a few steps to the fork in the road, one side is still the bamboo forest stretching, the other side is the mountain depression leading to another mound, it is indeed higher than other mountain depressions, you can see the lower place, there is a long distance between the mountains and the mountains, we chose this road, because like flat land, Qi Rong led me, we walked slowly, did not speak, feeling this beauty and tranquility.
When we walked to the middle of the mountain recess, we didn't leave, for fear that if we went far, the master would be worried, and said that it was okay that I could hear him when he called me. We are like standing in a place higher than the concave on both sides, standing here, looking into the distance, the fog is misty, it is not too heavy fog, we can see the fields in the distance, there are two old farmers in robes bending over in the field to be busy, get up from time to time, I look into the distance, Qi Rong from behind I also look into the distance, the old farmer will get up and walk a few steps to change places and then bend down to continue to be busy, there is a buffalo eating grass on the field stalk next to it, the grass here is very abundant, the cow has not raised its head, there are faint birds flying in the sky, Landing in the field, I asked Qi Rong, "Do you recognize what kind of bird it is?" ”
"It's an egret."
"You're amazing." I smiled and praised him, he stood around me behind me, I leaned my weight on him, Qi Rong's face was close to my face, we didn't speak again, there is a good saying: you can get a place of liberation, only in front of God and Buddha, and between the mountains and rivers. In the midst of this landscape, the peace of mind seems to be a relief.
As we stood and watched as if we were in the middle of a landscape painting, the fog slowly dissipated, and we could see some houses again, and white smoke drifting out of the chimneys of the houses, heavier than the fog, could be seen faintly.
"The farmhouse is cooking, we will go back to eat first, and then we will rest and practice swords, let's walk here in the morning, this is so beautiful, looking at this beauty, I don't want to go back to the palace."
"Where are you, where am I." Qi Rong said love words against my face, and kissed me gently on the face, "In the future, when our child grows up, let him be the emperor, and let's also come out to play in the mountains and rivers, you say it's good." ”
I smiled and patted his hand holding one of my hands, "The child is not there yet, don't you want to stay in the palace with me?!" ”
"My father said that he wanted you to succeed to the throne, and he and his mother would go to the mountains and rivers, isn't it the same as what I think now! I'm just a child of my own after the pit. How many children do you say we have? ”
"You hate it, go away!" I pretended to be angry and patted his hand, Qi Rong giggled, rubbing his face against mine.
