Chapter 42: The Warm Sun of Winter

At six o'clock in the morning, Cheng Zhong and Xue Liancheng were still asleep.

Master Sanji and Xu Shoujun quietly went out.

I slept very late last night.

First, Xue Liancheng fell asleep against the wall on the side of the kang.

Then there was Cheng Zhong, next to Xue Lian Cheng fell asleep.

Master Sanchi does not need to lie down and sleep.

He sat cross-legged and rested against a kang corner.

Xu Shoujun was left, and he could have slept on the kang, but he felt that it was a great disrespect to Master Sanji.

So he found a piece of broken felt, spread it on the ground, and fell asleep.

Xu Shoujun woke up first, he crawled up to Master Sanji, whispered a few words, and Master Sanji went out with him.

Longzhong Mountain Village, the sky is gray, and it will be bright.

The air is crisp and cold.

The surrounding area is pitch black, surrounded by mountains, embracing the small Chengjiawan, and the village has not fully woken up.

Master Sanji strode towards the highest mountain in the east, followed by Xu Shoujun.

Now, he considered himself humble, and did not dare to walk side by side with Master Sanchi, although the master seemed to be a little younger than him.

In his mind, Master Sanchi was already the great mentor of his last life.

His respect for the master now is even far greater than his respect for Zhang Guangbi back then.

Higashiyama is not very high.

For the two cultivators, it was just a larger dirt bag, and it didn't take much effort to climb to the top of the mountain in less than half an hour.

The two of them looked to the east, and the morning sun was pouring out of the horizon.

Turning to the village, the smoke of cooking has risen from a few houses.

On winter mornings, the air pressure is generally low, and the smoke does not rise, but flutters around the houses and willow trees, turning the village into a misty cloud.

Looking down from above, Chengjiawan is like a big dustpan.

The position where they are now is the highest rung behind the dustpan, and the location where the courtyard of the Cheng Zhong family is located is the bend behind the dustpan.

The main mountain of this village is Dongshan.

Looking left and right from the east mountain, the mountain separates on both sides, gradually widening and forming the two edges of the dustpan.

The view on the opposite side is relatively open, and not far away is the famous Tiemu Mountain.

The surrounding foothills all stretched out towards the core of Chengjia Bay, like the head of a dragon and snake, rushing into the depths of the bay.

Master Sanji has been to many places, and he knows that the best feng shui in the land of China is on the Loess Plateau.

Because the loess is soft and plastic, it is easy to form a variety of relatively round and wonderful topography.

When he arrived, he realized that although this place was small, it was a little extraordinary.

He counted carefully, and there were four or five relatively independent mountain bags on each side, all arching around the east mountain at his feet.

"The place where Cheng Zhong was born is indeed a good place!"

Master Sanji seemed to be talking to himself, and it was like saying to Xu Shoujun.

Xu Shoujun's face was full of flattering smiles, and he approached the master and said:

"Please be careful, master!"

At the foot of the East Mountain, at the center of gravity of Dustpan Bay, there are more than a dozen tombs gathered together.

There is no need to ask, Master Sanji has already judged that it must be the ancestral tomb of the Cheng Zhong family.

After hovering on the top of the east hill for half an hour, and seeing the general pattern of the village and the trend of the mountains, Master Sanchi walked forward along the undulating ridge on the left......

It wasn't until after eight o'clock that Cheng Zhong woke up.

Xue Liancheng grabbed Cheng Zhong's arm with one hand, and the whole person was lying next to him in the form of a "big" character.

The kang was so hot that the two quilts were kicked to their feet.

At this time, Xue Liancheng's face was flushed, and she had a comfortable expression, which was even more endearing.

Cheng Zhong's two eyes fixed on Xue Liancheng.

Regarding Xue Liancheng's gender, Cheng Zhong was already suspicious last night.

When they first met, it was Xue Liancheng's short hair that deceived Cheng Zhong.

Now, Cheng Zhong looked at that delicate face and remembered the intimate hug last night.

He woke up again and had already made a preliminary judgment.

Cheng Zhong is such a smart person, even if he is still in the hazy stage of male and female affairs, but when it comes to gender issues, how can he be hidden from him for a long time.

Maybe Master Sanji, Meng Xu, and Xue Liancheng didn't intentionally want to deceive him, but they just didn't say it.

Maybe they think that if they don't mention gender first, it may be easier for him to accept Xue Liancheng.

At this time, Cheng Zhong's mind thought like this:

If Xue Liancheng is a boy, they help each other like brothers, and they can face any hardships and hardships together, of course, it is very good.

If she were a girl, it would be good to have such a beautiful woman by her side and share weal and woe, wouldn't his life be even more wonderful.

Cheng Zhong thought about it beautifully, and couldn't help but reach out and touch that pretty face.

Suddenly, his little heart was beating wildly, a monstrous heat wave gushed out from the depths of his heart, and subtle changes appeared in his body.

For a while, he was so ashamed that his face was red and he was sweating.

He didn't dare to make any more moves, so he had to quickly get up and slip off the ondol.

After standing on the ground, his soul returned to reality.

Seeing that the two old men were not there, he rushed to the hall.

Grandpa and Grandma sat on the kang and drank tea, Dad sat on a stool on the ground, and several people chatted with great interest, still talking about the three guests.

"They ...... Where have they gone?" asked Cheng Zhong as soon as he entered the door.

"We don't know, we should go to the mountains to wander, the elderly are less sleepy. ”

Dad replied casually.

"Oh, then I'll go back to the hut. ”

Before Cheng Zhong's words fell, the person had no shadow.

The moment he returned to the hut, he had already understood.

Xue Liancheng must be a girl, there is no doubt about it.

However, Cheng Zhong does not want to expose this for the time being.

He pretended not to know, so that he could get along better, eat and sleep together, and not cause gossip.

By the time he climbed onto the kang again, he had already turned into a smiling face.

In fact, Xue Liancheng had already woken up at this time.

Just now, when Cheng Zhong wanted to touch her face, she woke up.

She looked forward to the warm little hand with joy, but the guy was in a daze and ran away strangely, which was really annoying.

Hearing Cheng Zhong turn back and crawl closer to her, her heart was beating and she couldn't open her eyes.

Who knew that Cheng Zhong was full of bad water at the moment, and he was thinking about how to make a "prank".

Cheng Zhong suddenly stretched out his hand, lifted the snow into a close-fitting thin thread coat, and burrowed his hands into her armpits.

Cheng Zhong's hands were cold, and they slid up and down the ribs on both sides of her, which was both irritating and itchy.

Xue Liancheng screamed "oops", and "hum haha" and couldn't help but laugh and moan.

Xue Liancheng really couldn't stand it, her hands began to scratch and dig, and on the back of Cheng Zhong's hand, several blood marks appeared in an instant.

Cheng Zhong was in pain, so he stopped and lay down beside Xue Liancheng.

"Are you a kitten, how do you scratch people......?

Cheng Zhong pretended to be in pain and deliberately teased Xue Liancheng.

"Your hands are so cold, and they tickle me, I'm going crazy. ”

Xue Liancheng hurriedly explained.

Then, she scrambled to her feet, pressed against Cheng Zhong, and began to examine his arm.

"Oh, damn it, how did I really scratch so much!"

After seeing the scars on Cheng Zhong's hands, Xue Liancheng was suddenly shocked, holding Cheng Zhong's arm, at a loss, so anxious that tears flowed down.

Seeing Xue Lian like this, Cheng Zhong felt that he had made a joke.

"I pretended it on purpose, but it didn't hurt at all.

We are all cultivators in the future, and this little injury and pain is nothing, so you should leave a mark for your little brother, and it will be easier to find some in the future. ”

Cheng Zhong began to flam his tongue, and in turn comforted Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng knelt beside Cheng Zhong's lap, her big eyes with tear stains stared at Cheng Zhong motionlessly, and said one by one:

"Little brother, I was wrong! I couldn't help but scratch your hand. Now I swear to the Buddha ......"

Hearing the word "swear", Cheng Zhong was also anxious, and directly reached out to cover Xue Liancheng's mouth, so that her later words became a "hmm" sound.

It wasn't until Xue Liancheng was choking her hands and feet that Cheng Zhong took his hand away.

"You let me finish my words, don't swear this time!"

After taking a deep breath, Xue Liancheng said.

"I know, I won't dare to make you anxious again. Cheng Zhong said.

"In the future, no matter if you tease me or beat me, even if you kill me, I will never fight back.

Please forgive me this time, little brother.

Besides, don't dare to let Master Sanji and Abba see it!"

Xue Liancheng prayed to Cheng Zhong with tears in her eyes.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if they see it, I'll just say it's red in the snow. Cheng Zhong said.

Sung Jong is the best at lying about these little things, and has reached the level of improvisation.

In his opinion, white lies are a necessity in life.

"What are you two whispering, aren't you going to get up yet?"

Master Sanji opened the curtain and walked in, and Xu Shoujun followed.

Cheng Zhong and Xue Lian were a little flustered as if they were thieves and were caught red-handed.

The two of them hurriedly got dressed, folded the quilt, and slipped off the kang, and their faces were a little red.

Xu Shoujun put his mouth into Cheng Zhong's ear and said:

"Just now, I asked the master to help, and chose a good place, where you can bask in the sun in winter, warm and coaxing, I am very satisfied, and when the time comes, the master will tell you. ”

When Cheng Zhong heard this, he was a little inexplicable at first, but he immediately understood.

He folded his hands, bowed to Master Sanchi, and said:

"Thank you for the grace of the master! In the future, the master will be sent, and I will never say anything about it!"

"Nan Wu Amitabha! Cheng Shaoxia is serious, you and I can be regarded as friends who have forgotten the year, and I still have something to ask of you!"

Master Sanji smiled slightly, took Cheng Zhong's hand and said.
