At the beginning of June, the Yang family and his party returned to the capital, and the emperor gave them a house, gold and silver, and those who could be officials were given officials. Uncle Yang is dead, and Uncle Yang has become the secretary of the general administration. The eldest cousin Yang Yi became the deputy chief soldier of Hecheng, and the sun-shooting bow in Qiu Jili's hand was handed over to him, he was also the helmsman of the Yang family, and he had been taught by Yang Fan himself before. There are also four adult cousins and cousins who have also entered the military camp as officials, and their official positions are not high, and they will slowly earn their way up in the future.

The Yang family is a big mansion, divided into east and west mansions, the big house lives in the east mansion, and the second room lives in the west mansion, only separated by a wall.

Qiu Li is very diligent with the Yang family, and has a very good relationship with her two aunts and cousins. Over the years, the relationship between the assigned families has been very harmonious, and they are all internal marriages, whether it is a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law, they all know the roots, and they can also say it.

At the beginning of August, a total of 1,331 men over the age of seven of the three clans of the Qi family, as well as the female dependents of the main family, were beheaded. In those days, the crying outside the noon gate was fierce, the blood flowed like a river, and the smell of blood that permeated the sky over the capital did not dissipate for a long time.

The head of the Qi family, the former Qi Guozhang, died on the way to Beijing, and the corpse transported back to Beijing was unloaded and fed to the wolves.

can see how much the emperor hates the Qi family.

In fact, the emperor is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, and he is also related to the Qi family, but his hatred far exceeds the family affection maintained by blood, and he didn't talk about any affection.

Qiu Li secretly slandered that the emperor's cousin's heart was not as merciful as he seemed to be.

Qiu Li also hated the Qi family, but he disagreed very much with the ancients' preference for sitting together. Among the more than 1,000 people, at least 1,000 people have never done anything to harm the Yang family, and some people may not even enjoy the blessings of the main family, so they just died. Those women were even more miserable, and they didn't join the teaching department directly.

I heard Ye Feng say that the third prince hanged himself a month ago, but the news was blocked and it would be announced in two years.

But thinking of Yang Pingping's death, so many innocent people died in the Yang family and the other eight families, as well as An An's mother, who has been living in Single-Finger Peak, and the emperor has been imprisoned for 18 years, and I can understand the emperor's hatred and anger.

After that, it rained heavily for several days, washing away the summer heat, washing away the remaining blood stains and the disgusting smell of blood.

On this day, Qiu Li took a pair of children to Yang's house to play, and the next day she refused to let her two aunts stay here for dinner, she wanted to take a detour to visit He'an.

When the carriage was about to reach the mouth of the alley of Fengjuyuan, Yang Zixing whispered, "Grandma, I saw Grandpa Guo's carriage enter that alley. ”

Qiu Li had also heard that Ye Guogong often went to Fengju Courtyard to offer his courtesy, and at first he couldn't even enter the gate, but now he can stand outside the Hanging Flower Gate.

Then he said, "Then forget it, go straight home." ”

Nine-month-old Sister Qi is very smart, and when she heard that she couldn't go to her grandmother's house, her little mouth immediately deflated, and she looked like she was about to cry.

Brother Jin, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly coaxed, "Sister don't cry, go home and my brother will be your big horse." ”

Sister Qi likes to ride big horses, and when she rides them when she is with bears and sunspots, they ride their brother or daddy when they are not at home. Hearing this, he grinned and cheered with two chubby slaps, "Ah~~Ah~~"

Qiu Li smiled. She has been committed to teaching her son to be responsible and to take into account the feelings of others. Brother Jin did a good job, not only caring for his sister all the time, but also caring for his mother when his father was away.

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Ye Feng coming back.

Qiu Li was a little surprised, "It's not Xiu Mu yet, why did you come back?" ”

Ye Feng hugged a son and a daughter and made love for a while, sent them away, and then whispered, "Master Wujing brought me a message, asking us to go to Single Finger Peak the day after tomorrow." He also emphasized, "It's the two of us, I'll go too." ”

"Really?"

Qiu Li was pleasantly surprised. She had been looking forward to this day.

Ye Feng smiled, "This can still be fake." I also said to bring more potatoes to my grandfather and mother-in-law, and Master Wujing said that I also planted them on the peak of one finger, and I only harvested a lot in the first two days. You pack up, I'll go talk to my grandfather and grandmother, and pick up your mother and son to live in Fengming Town for a few days. ”

After Ye Feng left, Qiu Li got up and packed up the things that the few of them were going to use in the town, as well as the things they brought to Yang An'an, Yang Fan, and Hopeless Shitai.

Early the next morning, Ye Feng led his wife and children out of Beijing by car.

At noon, when I arrived at Ye Mansion in Fengming Town, and after resting, Qiu Li dragged her children and daughters to visit the town and bought a lot of things.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Ye Feng took his daughter-in-law and children to Lingxiu Mountain. Ye Feng was wearing casual clothes, Qiu Li was wearing men's clothes, and she was also riding a horse.

When they arrived at the fork in the road, the sky was already bright, Ye Feng and Qiu Li took a few henchmen directly into the mountains to hunt, Ye Jin, Jin Ling and others took Brother Jin'er's little brothers and sisters who were still sleeping in the arms of the nurse and went straight to Xiaxizhuang.

This time, Ye Feng and Qiu Li only brought three people, Ye Li, Ye Quan, and Ye Qing. More than half an hour later, in front of the dense forest that I had been to last time, Dangdang's mother and son and the black wolf, bear-like, bear-like, bear-big, and bear-gall actually rushed out.

Qiu Lile was broken, got off the horse and ran forward to make love with Dangdang's mother and son and the bear. As for the cold black wolf and Xiong Da and Xiong Gut, she didn't dare to get close, she just smiled and said hello.

Ye Feng said to Ye Li and the others, "You guys are hunting nearby, let's go into the forest to hunt some good prey, and we will be fine with the Dangdang family and the bear-like family to protect us." Tomorrow evening, meet here. ”

Ye Feng and Qiu Li carried a package on their backs, and then took the package in Ye Li's hand, and gave Xiong Xiang and Dangdang on their backs, these things were given to Yang Fan.

Ye Li and the others guessed that the master was not necessarily going hunting, but he didn't want them to know something, so they were smart and didn't ask more. Thinking that with the protection of the Dangdang family and the bear-like family, the two masters should be fine.

Ye Li nodded and said, "In case of danger, uncle must remember to set off fireworks." ”

Ye Feng nodded and pulled Qiu Li into the dense forest.

They walked very fast, for nearly two hours, and finally reached the foot of the One Finger Peak.

This mountain peak is not seen from a distance, but when you get closer, you can't see the edge at a glance. Looking at it again, it is all convex and concave large and small rocky mountains, almost straight up and down, and there is only a big tree that grows obliquely from the distance, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

How does this go up?

When he looked around vigilantly, he brought them to a large rock. It arched a groove in the arch stone with its head, and the boulder was suddenly pushed away, and the Wujing monk walked out, followed by Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue screamed as soon as she saw Qiu Li and threw herself on her.

Wujing put his hands together and said with a smile, "Master Ye, Master Qiu, the poor monk has been waiting for a long time. Please. ”

Ye Feng and Qiu Li, who were holding Xiaoxue, walked in, and the Dangdang family and the Xiong Xiang family followed in.

The boulder closes.

This is a large space, about 20 square meters, more than 20 meters above the top is a large and small stone, left and right two stones piled up into a staircase. There are small gaps between the stones on the sides, and weak light leaks in. As soon as I entered, I felt a chill hit me.

Wujing led them to the left and said, "To the right is a dead end." ”

Then they entered a smaller space, also on the left and right, and this time they took the right. Then I went up to a small space and continued to the right......

Qiu Li said secretly, walking to the top like this is equivalent to going up hundreds of stairs.

Ye Feng looked around and said, "Building like this, it should confuse those who want to go to the top of the mountain." ”

"It's hard to believe that these passages are basically natural, and the predecessors have only slightly modified them. ”

About a dozen floors up to the "building", arrived at this space no longer for people to climb the stone, the stone wall is convex and concave, you can climb, but the slightest bit will fall to pieces. Moreover, the top above can't be seen at a glance, Ye Feng can't see it at all, and Qiu Li, the "clairvoyant" eye, can see it, and it is estimated that the distance between here and the top is about six or seven hundred meters.

The two looked at Wujing, Wujing smiled, picked up a stone and knocked on the stone wall on the left. A clear voice rang out, swirling through the space.

After a while, a gurgling sound was heard, and a large wooden box slowly slid down from the top.

Qiu Li's mouth opened into an "O" and exclaimed, "Is this an elevator or a cable car?" ”

Wujing laughed, "It's an elevator." This was invented by the master of the previous dynasty, and the houses on the mountain were built by him and his apprentices for decades. ”

Qiu Li muttered, "Salute to the predecessors." ”

The three of them and Xiaoxue stood in, and the dangdang family and the bear-like family did not move.

Wujing said, "They are too heavy, and the elevator will have to be pulled a few more times." ”

The four corners and the middle of the elevator are fixed with thick hemp ropes, which are twisted up into a thicker rope and slowly pulled upwards. It's not fast, it's about half an hour to the top.

They descended the elevator, and a middle-aged man fastened a large roll of hemp rope. This man Qiu Li has seen, it is a person who looks like Xia Zixing, he should be Xia Zixing's father.

The man looked up and saw Qiu Li, he was excited, and said with a smile, "Grandma looks very similar to Master Qingshan." ”

Qiu Li smiled and shouted, "Xia Bo." After so many years, I've worked hard for you. ”

Xia Bo smiled brightly, and said continuously, "It should be, it should be." ”

Xia Bo also had to pull the Dangdang family and the bear-like family, and Wujing took them up a few more floors of "buildings", and finally came to the top of the mountain.

This is supposed to be the recess of the top of the mountain, just the opposite of the barrenness outside the mountain, surrounded by trees, and a large area of chrysanthemums is planted during the period, which is purple and red, and the fragrance is overflowing.

At the end of the chrysanthemum, there were two people standing, it was Yang Fan's grandfather and An An's mother.

Yang Fan looked at them with a smile, his face was ruddy, and his waist was straight.

Yang Anan is still so weak and unwinded, and his demeanor is outstanding. She couldn't stand the dampness coming up from the passage, and she didn't dare get too close to it.

At this time, she was already in tears, excited, and said loudly, "Mother's departure, my mother has been looking forward to it for nineteen years, and I finally see you." ”

Qiu Li ran over quickly, climbed on her shoulder and whimpered, "Mother, I miss you too......"

Yang Fan laughed and said, "This is a happy event, don't cry." He said to Ye Feng again, "What about the wine and meat that the old man let leave last time?" Take it out, I haven't drunk or eaten meat in a long time. I can only eat here, and if I am seen by Master Hopeless, I will be thrown down the mountain. ”

Yang Anan and Qiu Li burst into tears and laughed. Ye Feng bowed to Yang Fan and Yang An'an first, and took out a package and handed it to Yang Fan.

Yang An'an and Qiu Li walked hand in hand towards a house hidden in the woods in front of them.

Ye Feng was about to follow, but was stopped by Yang Fan, "Boy, it's very boring to drink alone, stay with me." ”
