Chapter Seventy-One: The Cabin in the Woods I
In late autumn, the reeds on the swamp bank are in full bloom, especially the velvet silk of the leaf sheath, which is picked and woven into quilts, which can also withstand the cold mountain wind.
With this quilt woven of reeds, Yun Yue thought that Ji Yan would not climb onto her straw mat while she was asleep every night because of the cold, but whenever she opened her eyes in the morning, someone actually climbed over with the quilt.
At the beginning, there was inevitably a scream in this cave at this moment, and as the days went by, Yun Yue didn't bother to kick him, just hoping to find a way out of the valley earlier.
After a few nights of rain, the weather was exceptionally sunny today, and as winter approached, the wild fruit beasts were becoming more and more difficult to find, so she had to gather enough firewood to store enough dried fruits for the winter before the snow fell.
There wasn't much fruit left in the canyon, and Yun Yue thought about going through this canyon to take a look in the forest on the opposite side, maybe she could hunt a few beasts.
The two walked side by side on the road, the warm sun hit their bodies, and the whole person seemed to be covered with layers of streamers. The stream at the bottom of the valley is crisp and pleasant, which makes people unconsciously happy when they listen to it.
Walking and walking, Ji Yan suddenly stopped: "Lady, look, it's a hibiscus flower!" ”
Yun Yue followed Ji Yan's gesture and looked, and sure enough, the patches of purple-red hibiscus flowers were blooming extremely vigorously, and when she got closer, she could smell a faint fragrance.
"This flower probably tastes pretty good."
"Lady's idea! Why don't we pick some back? ”
"Pick!"
The petals of the hibiscus flower are soft, the color is bright, smell it closely, and there is a faint fragrance, Ji Yan can't help but read the poem:
"There are lesbian cars, Yan Ru Shunhua, Jiang Ao Jiangxiang, Pei Yu Qiongju, Bi Mei Meng Jiang, Xun Mei and Du."
"Is this a poem you wrote?"
"No, it's a verse from the Book of Songs"
"Who is the Book of Songs? Is his poetry great? I've seen Brother Kaede read it before. ”
"The lady hasn't read?"
"Sour ...... What is there to read about acid poetry, isn't it just to praise the beauty of this flower, and I will too. ”
Ji Yan sneered, picked a very good hibiscus flower and walked over, and put it on for her.
"The lady looks so good wearing this flower, but in fact, the poem is not to praise the flower."
"It's not Zanhua, so what are you doing with it?"
He bowed his head and whispered in her ear, "It's a boast." ”
When Yun Yue heard this, her ears turned red, and she turned around, her head pressed very low, for fear that the person would see her blushing.
Amnesia is amnesia, why does he still remember so many verses, she is also annoyed that she is not angry, why didn't she learn more at the beginning, and now she is making fun of others, and she can still scold back.
"Don't be angry, look at this."
Ji Yan took out a hairpin from his arms and handed it to Yun Yue.
The hairpin is extremely delicate, the hairpin body is smooth and delicate, it is very comfortable to touch, and the hairpin flower lines are clear and vivid.
"Where did you pick it up?"
"How can you say pick it up? It took her husband a month to carve it. Do you still like it? ”
"This hairpin is good, it can be sold for a good price." Although she doesn't like to wear jewelry on weekdays, she also took over the wooden hairpin.
"Sell! The lady said how to do it, if the lady likes it, she will make a gold for your husband in the future. ”
"Gold is worth more."
After crossing the canyon, the two finally came to the forest, where the light shone green through the sparse leaves between the branches and on the mossy cobblestones in the forest. The dust crevices fluttered in the beams of light falling from the trees, sprinkling with joy.
Ji Yan looked at the dead leaves all over the ground, stepped on them, the leaves were broken, the sound was extremely crisp, and he was as happy as a child: "Lady, how about building a cabin in the forest when spring comes?" ”
"No, this forest is deep, and there are a lot of snakes and insects."
Suddenly, he stopped and said very seriously: "I thought that the lady was not afraid of snakes. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Didn't the lady find out? The hole next to your straw mat is a snake hole. ”
“…… Then why didn't you tell me earlier! ”
"Lady, you didn't ask me ......"
"Don't wait for the beginning of spring, I'll build a wooden house tomorrow."
"Good! This forest is very fond of the husband! ”
"Will you build it?"
"I will!"
Yun Yue was taken aback: "You even know this?" ”
Ji Yan nodded and said, "I seem to have done it before, but I can't remember where I did it." Lady, how about putting a wooden house on that tree? In this way, the insects will not be able to climb up. ”
"No, I'm afraid of heights."
"Lady afraid of heights?"
"yes, what's wrong?" Yun Yue looked back and saw Ji Yan's eyes glowing with tears, looking at her with an extremely distressed expression.
“…… How...... What's wrong? ”
Without saying a word, he walked over and hugged Yun Yue, who had an inexplicable face, into his arms, and said softly: "The lady is afraid of heights and accompanies me to jump into this abyss, asking what the world is like, and only teaching people to promise life and death." ”
“……”
The next few days were bright and good, and during the day, Yunyue picked the fruits, dried them and stored them in the cold place of the cave. Ji Yan went into the woods and used his own polished stone saw to build the wood needed for the wooden house.
Wood for the walls, bamboo for the floor, and reeds for the roof, and a simple log cabin was built.
Considering that the lady was afraid of insects and snakes, Ji Yan deliberately built the hut on a sparse open space, and in order to use the water, he spent dozens of days leading the stream of the canyon to the hut.
The wooden house is surrounded by a fence, which can also block wild beasts, and half an acre of land is opened on the inside of the fence, and when spring blooms, you can find some wild fruit seeds to sprinkle.
The first time Yun Yue saw the cabin, she was a little shocked in her heart, is this still the prince she knows?
Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and consultation, building houses and hairpins, seeking power and attacking the heart, really responded to that sentence, you can pick the stars on the top, and you can catch the sea and the moon on the bottom, is there anything else he won't do?
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and the canyon has officially ushered in the first snow of winter. It snowed heavily that night, and the two of them had already moved to a cabin in the woods.
The sound of heavy snow breaking pine branches sounded from time to time, Yun Yue did not fall asleep, tossing and turning for a long time, she quietly got up and sat alone under the eaves to watch the snow.
It turned out to be a few years ago, she had braved the heavy snow to climb into Chu Zijin's courtyard, just to express her heart to him on this first snow day.
The love when I was young was so pure, and now that I think about it, it feels like a world away.
When she used to think of the man in Tsing Yi, her heart always ached, but after experiencing several lives and deaths, she suddenly saw it thoroughly, as clean and thorough as the snow falling on the ground.
A throbbing starts from a dream, and it must end because of the dream, which will be the last first snow she remembers in the past, and after today, she will wake up from the dream, and her own life must go on.
Thinking like this, it is not necessary to say goodbye to the past, there is no need to be so dull, and the boulder that has been pressing on her heart for a long time has not been removed by herself until today.
Forgetting a person is never about the length of time, but the understanding in the bottom of my heart.
When she looked up at the snowy sky again, her heart was unprecedentedly clear, and she just admired the snow, closed her eyes, and quietly listened to the sound of falling snow.
Listening to this, she realized that there was a person sitting next to her.
She turned her head and asked, "You...... When did it come out? ”
"As soon as the lady came out, I came out."
He didn't ask her what she was thinking, he just sat quietly beside her.
