Chapter 81: Ginkgo Forest

Ah Jue and Ling'er walked on the mountain road in early winter, basking in the warm sun, the leaves had almost fallen to the ground, there were few leaves on the branches, there were no leaves, the sun was very bright, walking in the deciduous forest, there was a crunchy sound when stepping on it, creaking. I heard Yiyi say that this time I came to the south of the mountain, the south of the mountain is said to be relatively warmer, Ling'er according to the experience of walking the mountain road in Shu last time, cut a cane for herself, Ah Jue and her did not talk to each other, they all walked by themselves, Ling'er thought about his own thoughts, Ah Jue also had his own thoughts in his heart. The map is on Ling'er, and from time to time she takes it out to take a look, and every time Ah Jue walks some way, she marks the tree next to her with a sword, and the two of them don't speak, they walk on their own.

"What do you always chop at the trees?" Ling'er finally couldn't hold back and asked him.

"Didn't you ignore me!" Ah Jue didn't look at her, she was still drawing with a sword on the tree, and after finishing the drawing, she walked forward.

"You're the one who ignores me first." Ling'er pursed her lips and stopped to look at him.

"yes, I'm angry, why should I ignore you." Ah Jue also stopped, and the two looked at each other in the woods.

"What was wrong with me, you're angry!" Lingli took his cane and beat the fallen leaves on the ground.

"Don't be angry with anything else, you are angry at me, you come to hit me! Aren't you mad at me! Ah Jue laughed when she saw her playing with a child's temper.

"Don't think I don't dare, I'll beat you up and look for teeth all over the ground!" Ling'er really stepped forward and walked in front of Ah Jue, clenched his hand into a fist and beat his chest, regardless of it, it was just a hammer, the more angry he became, the more he beat the more he felt aggrieved, and the more he beat him, Ah Jue looked at the person in front of him and cried with pear blossoms and rain, and he was still beating himself without pain or itching, and he couldn't hold back and hugged him in his arms.

"You let go of me!" Ling'er cried to break free from him.

"Ling'er, don't be angry, good." Ah Jue coaxed softly, "Let's not be angry, okay?" ”

"It's you, it's you who got angry with me first." Ling'er didn't struggle, and she cried very comfortably in his arms.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, don't cry." Ah Jue still coaxed her not to cry and patted her on the back gently.

"Then you still ignore me?" Ling'er stopped crying, opened her eyes and looked up at Ah Jue.

"Why, you see, don't I comb your hair every day, do I? Come out today to relax, don't see the same as me, don't get angry, okay? Ah Jue coaxed her patiently.

"Okay." Ling'er came out of Ah Jue's arms, and her mood was also relaxed, there was no saying that she was walking, Ling'er was still looking at the map, and Ah Jue was still making marks.

"Can you see these marks you made?" Ling'er is happy now, and she jumps when she walks.

"Yes, I'm afraid of going the wrong way, this is a guarantee. When I went to northern Xinjiang before, my father taught me. Ah Jue looked at Ling'er and said.

"Ah Jue, look, that mountain forest is golden...... It's so beautiful, the golden leaves spread all over the ground. There is a saying: The place of liberation can be obtained, in front of the Buddha and the Buddha, and between the mountains and rivers. I haven't felt it before the gods and Buddhas, but this landscape makes people feel refreshed and happy, lingering, looking at these, a kind of spiritual relief. After saying that, Ling'er trotted all the way to the ginkgo forest, Ah Jue didn't speak, and ran with her, for fear that she would fall again, and it was all his business if she fell.

Running into this ginkgo forest, the eyes are full of gold, the sun is golden, the ground is full of fallen leaves are also golden, and there are unfinished leaves on the trees, which are also golden. Ling'er was so happy, she picked up a handful of leaves, sprinkled them, and danced in circles, that aura, free and easy, beautiful, and Ah Jue was stupid when she saw it. Ling'er happily sprinkled one handful after another, circled and circled, and finally lost her strength and fell to the ground, with a smile on her face, looking at the sky and not speaking.

"Did you fall somewhere?" Ah Jue nervously stepped forward and asked.

"No, I'm dizzy." Ling'er looked at Ah Jue as a superimposer, smirking stupidly, and fainted.

"You said you weren't stupid, you couldn't get faint all the time!" Ah Jue sat next to the place where Ling'er was lying and accompanied her.

"Quick, Ah Jue, you also lie down and see, how wide and boundless the sky is." Ah Jue also lay down with Ling'er, the thick fallen leaves were like mats, and she didn't feel cold, the sun was shining, and some of them really didn't open their eyes, and they didn't know how Ling'er looked. The two of them lay like this for a while, Ah Jue sat up first, and helped Ling'er up, "Let's go to the tree and sit on it, it's too dazzling, it's not good for the eyes." ”

"It's really, it's a little invisible." Ling'er pretended to be blind, stretched out her hand everywhere and touched it, accidentally touched Ah Jue's face, touched his chin and face, and pricked his hands with some stubble, "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch your face." Ling'er withdrew her hand, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, are your eyes better? I'll help you up, and let's go and sit under that tree, which is big. "Ah Jue is actually a little embarrassed, she hasn't been touched by a girl like this yet, but these days when Ling'er is by his side, when he should take advantage of himself, Ling'er has not taken advantage of it, but Ah Jue doesn't care, and she is very happy, but she can't show it, right.

The two walked to the ginkgo tree with a thick waist and sat down, leaning against the tree, looking into the distance, and did not speak, after a while, Ah Jue opened his mouth first, "Actually, the ginkgo forest is quite close, and it doesn't take so long, it's just after noon." By the way, is Ling'er hungry? Shall we eat some dry food and drink some water here, or shall we go to the house, go to the house. ”

"I don't want to leave, just stay here for a while, I'm not hungry, you can eat some." Ling'er took the dry food to Ah Jue, "There is still water here." ”

"You say, it's a sunny winter day, will there be any small animals nearby? What else do not hibernate? Ah Jue asked.

Ling'er didn't speak, and got up, "Ah Jue, let's go find a house." ”

For this sudden change, Ah Jue smiled: "With me, I will protect you, what are you afraid of, there are no animals in winter, this is noon again, and even the blind bear is hibernating." ”

"I don't, I'm afraid, let's go find the house, find it early, eat early, and can't go out when it's dark." Ling'er came to drag Ah Jue up.

"Okay, I'll get up by myself, you can't pull it." Ah Jue turned around and stood up, patted the dust on his body, took Ling'er's map, and went to find the house.

Walking out of the ginkgo forest to the direction on the map did not walk a little distance to see the marked stone house, really sighed the ability of the master, this stone house is also a lot of heavenly work, this is a cave to change, there is a chimney, there is a courtyard, the courtyard can cook rice, there is firewood, a large vat, there are rice, there are some dried mushrooms, fungus and other fungi, and some dried vegetables.

Ah Jue watched it for a long time, how can I eat this, I don't have anything decent, I just need to be bitter, Ling'er is still here, and I am reluctant to suffer her. "Ling'er, stay in the house and don't leave, lock the door, I'll go out and see if I can catch some food for you, and see if there is any game to come out to forage."

Ling'er was scared when she heard it, "No, no, you are not allowed to go, I am afraid." "Stepped forward and took Ah Jue and didn't tell him to go.

"It's just past noon now, what are you afraid of, don't go out in the house, warm up the firewood, and sleep well at night." Ah Jue patted her hand and said to let go.

"It's not good, let's just eat some dry food, you don't go out. You just scared me into saying that there are some small animals, I don't want them! Ling'er clung to it and didn't let go.

"Good, I'll cook some game for you to eat, and you go to the house and make the bed, obedient." Ah Jue took Ling'er's hand, her little face was pouting and frowning, looking bitter and hateful.

"You are not allowed to go far, just nearby, I call you where you can hear you." Ling'er said seriously.

"Okay, I promise you. You close the door, I'll call you when you come back, you go and spread a quilt. Ah Jue picked up his sword and went out, closed the door, and let Ling'er close it from the inside.

Ling'er entered the inner room, because it was changed from a cave, it was not very cold inside, and took out the quilt in the box next to it, although it is also a kang to sleep on, but this hole is small, the kang is small, only enough for two people to sleep, and there are only two quilts in the box, make a bed and cover a bed, this stinky master, must not be well-intentioned! Ling'er scolded in her heart while making the bed, how can you sleep this night!

The bed was simply made, Ah Jue didn't come back, there was nothing to do, Ling'er went to make a fire, first boiled some hot water and rice, there is mountain spring water in the tank, here is a mountain change, the sleeping house is a cave, there is a mountain spring in the courtyard, and the water that comes out at this time is still warm. Ling'er took some firewood next to him, took out the fire fold and lit it, how could he not light it, so he used his mouth to blow, and he could only blow a little bit for a long time, but it still didn't work, he couldn't get up at all, Ling'er sat there and thought about the last time he saw someone else to make a fire, recall, recall, by the way, it was to take some hay and burn it first, and then put the firewood on it slowly. Ling'er went to the yard to find some grass on the ground, put it on top of the firewood, lit it with a fire fold, and really lit it, wow, Ling'er smiled, felt that she was great, burning and burning, the grass was burned, the firewood was not up yet, Ling'er was anxious again, found more grass over, put the firewood below, put a lot of grass on it, and the grass in the yard was picked up by her, this time it's always okay, this time it's really good, the water will be open in a while, Ling'er took out the kettle she brought, and drank some water, this mountain spring is really sweet. Ling'er filled the kettle, and Ah Jue came back in a while to drink, so she was ready to cook some rice, Ah Jue came back and cooked some more dishes, and tonight's meal would be perfect.

Ling'er learned to cook rice at her master's house, so she was also handy at burning it this time, but the rice was all boiled, and the water was almost cold, so why didn't Ah Jue come back yet. Ling'er was a little anxious: "Ah Jue? Have you gone far? ”

Knock knock, someone knocked on the door, "Ling'er, it's me, open the door." It was Ah Jue who came back, and Ling'er opened the door happily.

"What do you think I've caught?" Ah Jue took it out with both hands and showed it to Ling'er.

"Wow, what kind of frog is this, so big. And a hare. Jue, you're awesome! Ling'er cheered.

After Ah Jue entered the house and closed the door, he raised his head and looked at Ling'er, "You, have you burned the fire?" ”

"yes, boiled hot water, rice, it's all good and you haven't come back yet." Ling'er showed his merits.

"You go to the spring and see your face." Ah Jue couldn't help laughing.

Ling'er ran to the mountain spring to take a look, her face was like a cat, and she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it off with water.

"It's not a fire yet, it's not lit for a long time. You're not here. Ling'er complained.

"I'll roast a rabbit for you, and bullfrog will fry mushrooms for you? I see that the rice is ready, so that's it for tonight? "Ah Jue inquires Ling'er.

"Well, the one who cooks is in charge." Ling'er felt that Ah Jue was back, so she didn't have to do anything.

"You go to the fire, I'll cook the food, division of labor and cooperation." Ah Jue saw that she wanted to be lazy, so she dragged her back.

"I've been busy for a long time." Ling'er complained.

"I'm not idle outside, this house is so small, what can you do!" Ah Jue didn't let her go, so she was relieved in front of her.

"You drink some water first, be thirsty, this spring water is a little sweet, delicious, you can taste it." Ling'er fed him with a kettle, and Ah Jue rolled up his sleeves and was busy with bullfrogs.

"Okay, thank you." Ah Jue took a sip.

"Drink more, come." Ling'er put the kettle next to his mouth again, and Ah Jue took the hand to help him and drank a pot.

"Well, it's sweet." The corners of Ah Jue's mouth fell some water, and he wanted to wipe it with his sleeve, Ling'er saw it, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it first, Ah Jue was stunned in place, a little distracted.

"What's wrong with you?" Ling'er looked at him and asked.

"Do you think we don't seem to live in a farm now, you are my little daughter-in-law." Ah Jue looked at her and said with a smile.

"Why can't it be a brother or sister cooking at home?" Ling'er asked with a smile.

"Okay, whatever you say is what you say." Ah Jue didn't quibble, he felt that this kind of life was also very beautiful, the depression of the Imperial City General's Mansion disappeared without a trace, and since he came out with Ling'er, he felt that he was a lot more cheerful.

"When did you learn to roast rabbit and cook vegetables?" Ling'er sat back under the fire.

"In Northern Xinjiang, didn't you learn for a long time before you were called back by the Holy Decree?" Ah Jue complained. "You said you, why can't you get along with me."

"Can't it be him, isn't it just you!" Ling'er was also relieved about this topic.

"How fortunate to be chosen by your father and daughter together." Ah Jue joked.

"Well, you can make a promise to each other!" Ling'er raised her eyebrows and teased him.

"......" Ah Jue smiled and didn't speak for a long time, "What do you still call me, what is the difference between us and the newlywed couple." ”

"Yes." Ling'er suddenly became serious. "There is a difference in my heart."

"You light the fire, I'll go soak some mushrooms, and dispose of the rabbit by the way." Ah Jue was afraid that she wouldn't say anything again, which would ruin the current atmosphere, so she quickly changed the topic and left.

The two of them have their own hearts, and there are fewer words. Cooking a good meal, eating a good meal, washing the dishes and pots, there are very few words, they are all irrelevant nonsense. It's dark these days, and Ling'er is ready to go to bed after washing her face and feet, so the problem is again, how to sleep with a quilt.

"Ah Jue, I forgot to say it, there are two quilts, one covered and one bed, my master is not at ease, this bed is still so small, how can I sleep." Ling'er stood beside the bed, looked at Ah Jue and said.

"It's okay, you can sleep, I'll just sit next to me for the night." Ah Jue looked at Ling'er and said.

"Then, I'll go to sleep first." Ling'er was embarrassed to say, so she took off her coat first and went into the bed. Ah Jue lit the lamp, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, Ling'er was afraid of embarrassment, and deliberately turned her face away from Ah Jue to sleep, but she felt that the more she slept, the colder it became, and her whole body seemed to be frozen, and it was not so cold at first.
