Late at night, two people returned to the camp, one far and one near.

The warm yellow firelight hit Dongfang Yan's face, but he still frowned slightly, his sleeping habits have not changed over the years, and he always can't sleep well.

Meng Xuan lowered his head helplessly, sat beside her and gently stretched out his fingers, pointing at the center of his eyebrows, intending to smooth out the frowning eyebrows.

But he was suddenly caught by a delicate hand, and it was met by a pair of vigilant eyes. Reflecting the firelight, the eyes with moisture were terrifyingly bright.

Meng Xuan smiled apologetically, "Woke you up?" ”

The young man approached the figure, and only when he looked closely could he see that he was in an awkward posture, limping, and his appearance was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't see clearly with the light on his back. At this time, I inadvertently looked up and saw Dongfang Yan holding Meng Xuan's hand, and suddenly grew her mouth, as if she was about to scream? ! He hurriedly took out his hand to cover it.

There was a barely audible sound of chuckling in the distance......

The few people who were keeping vigil with their backs to the camp smiled lowly, but they were also squeezing each other's eyebrows, so unhappy.

Dongfang Yan just woke up, and frowned again when he heard a strange voice. She half-propped herself up, looked at the young man standing to the side with a shocked face, and followed his gaze to realize that ......

It turned out that I unconsciously grasped -

Is it Meng Xuan's hand?

She looked at it, but she didn't care about throwing it away gently, and said a little unreasonably, "What do you see?" You can't sleep? ”

The young man looked sluggish, and looked at Dongfang Yan without the slightest embarrassment on his face, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while......

Her eyes lit up, and the boy finally came back to his senses! Hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm sleepy, go to bed early, Yan ......"

Before the words fell, he was gently swept away by Meng Xuan's eyes, he couldn't help but shudder, swallowed his saliva, and said with a sneer: "Uh...... Well...... Wild goose...... Miss Yan'er ......"

After speaking, he ran to Uncle Wan's side, trying to reduce the area he was exposed, for fear of being swept away by the eyes of the young master of the 'Dragon Spirit and Tiger Fierce'......

Meng Xuan frowned when he looked at Dongfang Yan's tired expression, pulled out his hand, pulled up the winter coat that was barely used as a quilt on her body, and asked softly, "Is it cold?" ”

Dongfang Yan shook his head, Meng Xuan still walked to the fire and threw two firewoods, picked the fire a little stronger, and walked back to the same place, seeing that Dongfang Yan had not slept yet, he couldn't help but smile: "Can't sleep?" ”

Dongfang Yan yawned and tugged at the corner of Meng Xuan's clothes, "Where do you sleep?" ”

He pointed to the big tree beside him, meaning to sleep against that side, but she wouldn't let go, muttering, "Just sleep here." ”

Meng Xuan frowned and paused, "Forget it, I'll just sleep over there." ”

"Just sleep here." Dongfang Yan's voice was vaguely repeated, but it was unexpectedly insistent.

He couldn't help it, so he sat down helplessly, "Are you afraid?" ”

"It'......s cold over there," she was already a little dazed, almost muttering.

Meng Xuan smiled and patted her, "It's not too cold, I'm not afraid if you're afraid of the cold." ”

Dongfang Yan didn't let go, he had no choice but to sit in place and no longer speak, seeing that Dongfang Yan was silent for a long time, he just said that he was asleep.

He sighed helplessly, but she suddenly spoke.

"You sleep on the ground, I sleep on the bed, what are you afraid of?" Dongfang Yan let go of his robe and pointed to the cotton clothes under him.

Meng Xuan smiled, "You're not a bed." ”

You came and went to talk to me, but she seemed to be a little awake, opened her eyes and looked at him, "It's not that you haven't slept, are you embarrassed?" She raised her eyebrows and sneered, but the look in her eyes translated in her words was like: Are you afraid that I will eat you?

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

He didn't seem to expect Dongfang Yan to speak amazingly, and Meng Xuan choked unexpectedly, and someone seemed to cough lightly from a distance, and he didn't know if the night was too cold or ......

Meng Xuan stared speechlessly, slightly disgusted, "Why does my daughter's family say such things?" It feels like a merry boy who has been in the flower field for a long time. ”

Dongfang Yan smiled lowly and sneered, "Then you are the interpretation flower?" Okay, go to sleep, I didn't take you for a man. ”

'Poof...... someone finally couldn't hold back, laughed lowly, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Meng Xuan's eyes were windy, but some people trembled, only feeling that the night wind was a little heavier tonight, even if the winter was coming to an end, the cold of the night was still unabated......

She seemed to think it was funny herself, and laughed lowly.

Meng Xuan didn't give up, and whispered in her ear, "Don't treat me as a man?" ”

Dongfang Yan smiled innocently, blinked his big eyes, looked at Meng Xuan timidly, and shrunk his neck, "I said something wrong, I meant to treat you as a cousin." ”

Meng Xuan stared speechlessly, but he was helpless for a long time, patted her head gently, and sighed in a low voice, "Okay, let's sleep." ”

He rushed all the way today, worried all the way, his mood was up and down, and he was also a little tired at this time, so he stopped being entangled and fell asleep. In a daze, someone seemed to gently hand over a corner of warmth, and he subconsciously grabbed it in a trance, and gently pulled it together with the hand that handed over the warmth, but he was brought into the warmth and softness by whom.

He didn't wake up, but his mind was vaguely thinking-

Tonight...... It seems to be much warmer than expected......

Someone quietly changed shifts, watching this scene but each squeezing their eyebrows and chuckling, their eyes were self-evident......

The night flows quietly.

……

The sky was bright, some people were stretching, hey, some were busy coming and going, and after a while, someone asked, "Where is Miss Yan'er?" ”

Meng Xuan sat on the thick winter coat under him and was still stunned, and when he heard the question, he didn't raise his head, raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head.

The tall paulownia tree stubbornly had a few sparse leaves left in the cold late winter, and more of them were bare and thick branches, and when he looked up, he could see nothing but the sun half-covering and half-covering.

The young man raised his head and muttered suspiciously: "Young master, you are not wrong, haven't you seen anything?" ”

Hearing the sound under the tree, someone leaned out, still holding a small handful of bright red fruits in his hand, and seemed to be chewing something in his mouth, and his voice was slightly blurred, "What?" Are you looking for me? ”

Meng Xuan also raised her head, the girl's face was a little blurry with the sun on her back, but she could unexpectedly see a leafy branch on her side - there was an untimely paulownia bud, lightly embellished.

The girl stretched out her fingertips, gently tapped the lilac buds, tilted her head to look, and then sat down on the trunk with her legs down, and slowly chewed a handful of wild fruits in her hand.

Under the faint light of the sky, such a scene seems to freeze frame, and such a calm air flows slowly in a trance, can it be called bland? Or—

Happiness?

After eating, she clapped her hands and jumped down, and the young man exclaimed in amazement!

"Wow! Yan'er ...... Younger sister! You ...... "be careful...... It's too late to say two words......

Someone heard the exclamation and looked sideways, only to see that the girl was dressed in men's clothes, her posture was flying, and her whereabouts were not heavy. Like a light spring swallow gliding softly, the oriental goose touched the ground with one foot, and with the hem of the clothes drooped there was also a lilac paulownia flower, which fell to the ground and bounced slightly.

A girl in men's clothes paused softly and soothingly.

She looked up and chuckled, "Young man, the Tao is not enough, you can't even see me there?" ”

The young man scratched his head, his eyes flashed, and he avoided answering and changed the topic, "I'm older than you, so it stands to reason that you have to call me Brother Sheng!" ”

Meng Xuan got up gently, patted his robe lightly, and seemed to say inadvertently: "Her brother is enough, and there is no shortage of you." ”

……

The young man was dumbfounded, looking at the young master's careless expression, it seemed that his whole body hurt, but at this time, he smiled and didn't dare to say more.

Uncle Wan walked over and patted him on the head, "Silly boy hasn't had enough?" ”

The young man was even more sneering, and he didn't dare to speak when he looked at Uncle Wan.

Some people also asked: "Miss Yan'er, what are you doing up there early in the morning?" ”

Dongfang Yan turned around and smiled brightly, "Huh? I thought you would be embarrassed to solve my physical problems when you saw me. ”

"Poof......

A group of gentlemen darkened their faces, and they looked at the girl who spoke amazingly, and finally lost the courage to speak.

The corners of Meng Xuan's mouth twitched, but he did a good job of curbing the castration of his expression that was out of control.

Dongfang Yan didn't realize it, took out the silk handkerchief from his arms, and stepped forward - the snow-white silk handkerchief was a handful of bright red wild fruits, like a crystal clear ruby, shining on the silk handkerchief in the girl's palm.

She smiled, so pure, and handed it over with her hands like a treasure, "Eat?" Cousin, I found it over there. ”

Meng Xuan looked at the bright red wild fruit in front of him, and then looked at the girl's delicate face, and his heart warmed.

He looked at her delicate almost greedily, and then at the ambiguous eyes around him that could hardly be ignored, but the corners of his lips twitched......

He thought and thought about it along the way, and it seemed that he had finally made up his mind, and he was still ruthless before leaving the forest! A handful of delicate faces were painted black......

And out of the forest—

There were only three people left and two riders along the way, but they were Dongfang Yan, Meng Xuan and a young man named Wings.

Dongfang Yan questioned the young man's stay, raised his hand and pointed to the treetops not far away, far away, who had hidden his whereabouts?

Meng Xuan understood what she meant, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and spoke: "Take care of the wounded." ”

At this time, the puzzled eyes turned to the 'wounded', and the 'wounded' looked at the young master on his horseback, as if there was a cold air approaching from all directions, and at this time he also shrunk his neck, and only smiled, "I twisted my foot in the morning, forgive me." ”

Dongfang Yan swept towards him with a foolish look and stopped talking.

The young man wanted to cry without tears, but he couldn't explain it, so he could only spend a painful day under the contemptuous eyes of Dongfang Yan......

The two of them didn't stop all the way, but because they were carrying a wounded, they still arrived in Furong Town half a day later than expected-

They looked at the depressed Furong Town in winter from afar, no longer the delicate scene of hibiscus everywhere in the past, and the mood at such a moment was also covered with the cold of late winter.

At the entrance of the town, Li'er seemed to be waiting here early, and she pulled the green fan.

The two of them were carrying a bamboo basket, but they were carefully weaving embroidery, as if - to pass the time?

"Li'er!" Dongfang Yan shouted happily from afar, and immediately rushed forward with a pat on the horse.

"Childe!" Li'er excitedly dropped the embroidery in her hand and hurried up to meet her.

The green fan has become more and more mature after not seeing him for a long time, with the delicate charm that a girl should have, looking at the banquet party who is half a head shorter than himself, and also smiling gently, "Xiao Yangongzi is still so slender and thin after a long time, and now he is not as tall as me." ”

Dongfang Yan is dressed up at this time, I have to say that the girl who has changed her appearance wears men's clothes with a really graceful bearing, and she doesn't care about the girl's ridicule at this time, she just smiled gently, "If I grow up too fast, isn't Sister Qingfan also old?" Isn't that just right? ”

Qing Fan shook his head helplessly, "I think your flamboyant kung fu is not bad at all." ”

Yan Fang smiled, didn't say much, and directly greeted Li'er, "Go pack your luggage and go straight to the road." ”

Li'er was stunned for a moment, but she was stunned, "Are you in such a hurry?" ”

"It's almost the New Year, let's go back early, I'm annoyed." After the banquet party finished speaking, it seemed that he thought of something. smiled, and smiled very gently, "The eldest brother is married, and I want to rush back to see my cousin." ”

Looking at the gentle smile of the banquet party, Meng Xuan seemed to remember a certain conversation between the two, and felt slightly melancholy-

"When are you leaving? It seems that if I keep you any longer, your master will come to the door himself. She teased with a playful expression, and her eyes did not hide a flash of loneliness.

When he saw her look like this, his heart twitched, and he was about to blurt out the word "immediately" - in his throat: "I'll leave when you get home." ”

Dongfang Yan also smiled, "For the sake of me? ”

I vaguely remember shaking my head, "To go back home." ”

The two smiled silently, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, at this time hearing her casual words, they were trying their best to catch up with the itinerary along the way, and they couldn't say whether it was loss or something else at this time, and their mouths were slightly astringent.

In the blink of an eye, the two horsemen and the four of them left in the dust, and the green fan looked at Meng Xuan's back from afar, only saying goodbye to Yaoyao, and there was no longer an end to it......

The snow in the winter reflected in the eyes, and the water in the eyes of the people.

In a trance, a crisp voice sounded, but I didn't know whether it was the pain of parting or the break of lovesickness, like a broken thread of pearl jade, Linlang landed.
