On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the year of Wuxu, the ......

Halfway up the mountain in the southwest of Taihang Mountain, through the dense woods, you can vaguely see three or two bamboo houses, in this inaccessible place, at this time in the small courtyard in front of the bamboo house, two tall figures stand side by side, looking at the majestic Taihang Mountain.

"If you're ready, you can start the New Year." A man in a green robe said.

"Thank you for your kindness." Another man in a gray robe replied.

For a long time, no more sound sounded, and the man in Tsing Yi had already left quietly......

At the foot of the mountain, a young woman is carrying a huge hiking bag on her back and walking along an overgrown mountain path towards the mountain. This woman is not a tourist, and the bamboo houses halfway up the mountain are her home.

This woman full of youthful breath is named Xu Qiaoyou, now fourteen years old, she will be fifteen in a few days, with a slender figure, because of long-term exercise, although she is still young, her figure is uneven, healthy wheat-colored skin, a pair of big eyes on her melon seed face, a high nose bridge, a cherry mouth, and a slightly flying eyebrow shape add a lot of heroism to her.

The winding path did not affect her speed at all, she had been away from home for eight years, and she felt very kind when she saw the grass and trees on the side of the road, and forty minutes later, at the end of the path, a man in gray stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Xu Qiaoyou who was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Dad, I'm back!" Xu Qiao rushed forward quickly, jumped up directly, and gave his father a bear hug.

"I want to kill you." She buried her head in her father's arms, and a muffled voice came.

"Well, I miss you for my father, just come back safely." Father Xu gently patted his daughter's arm.

"I also said that I miss me, I asked someone to tell you that I came back today a month ago, and I didn't see you go down the mountain to pick me up, I was carrying so many things, I was tired to death."

Listening to her complaints, Dad Xu kept smiling, helped his daughter take off her backpack, and looked at her dotingly, she hadn't seen her for eight years, and her daughter had grown taller.

Xu Qiaoyou looked around at the home she hadn't been back to for eight years, and everything had not changed, just like she had been as familiar as she had been in the past eight years.

"Let's go see Mom and tell her I'm back." Xu Qiaoyu hugged Xu's father's arm affectionately.

The father and daughter walked towards the back mountain and came to the entrance of a natural cave, which would have been amazed if outsiders saw it, and this cave was equipped with a delicate and quaint gate......

Xu Qiaoyou pushed open the door with a little difficulty, this door was too heavy, thinking that when she was a child, she had to push it several times a year, in order to see if her strength had grown, although she was frustrated every year, but she never gave up, and now she was finally able to push it away, so she threw a smug look at Xu's father: "Dad, look at me now, right?" ”

"Well, awesome." After saying that, the father and daughter walked in, Xu's father closed the door casually, Xu Qiaoyou stuck out his tongue when he saw this, and sure enough, his father was the most powerful.

If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that this ice cellar is not congenital, but made by someone the day after tomorrow, which is rare, and in the center of the ice cellar, there is a huge ice bed that is steaming cold, and a beautiful woman lies quietly on the bed.

"Mom, I'm back." Xu Qiaoyou walked over, half-knelt beside the ice bed, took the woman's hand at her side, and said softly.

Mother Xu seemed to be asleep, and even had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, quiet and beautiful, and her facial features were very beautiful, Xu Qiao's eyebrows and eyes looked like her.

"Mom, I've been out for eight years, you see you haven't aged at all, if you continue like this, will I be older than you?"

"During the years when I went to school, I lived a very fulfilling life, and I just missed you and my father very much." Xu Qiao chattered to Xu's mother about what happened at school, and what she did bravely......

When the father and daughter came out of the back mountain, it was almost dark, Xu's father went to prepare dinner, and Xu Qiaoyou went back to his room to pack his luggage, in fact, there were not many of her personal belongings in such a big bag, most of them were New Year's goods she bought, and she hadn't accompanied her parents for the New Year for several years, although there were only three of them, but they had to have a lively life.

Looking at the spotless room, Xu Qiaoyou knew that his father must have been cleaning for a long time, although he didn't say it, he still wanted to come back often, right? I hope that after this matter is done, their family of three will be able to live together for a long time.

Soon the simple three dishes and one soup were on the table, all of them were light home-cooked dishes, Xu Qiaoyou was simply gobbling it up, and Dad Xu's greatest ability was to be able to use extremely simple ingredients to make delicious dishes.

After eating, Xu Qiaoyou made a charcoal fire for his father, the air in the mountain itself was colder, and it was even more rainy outside, becoming more and more cold, the two sat in front of the charcoal brazier, boiling tea next to them, and the faint fragrance of tea was permeating the air.

"Dad, when can I pass?"

Hearing this, Dad Xu's hand making tea paused: "It's past the third year of junior high school." ”

"Yes, it's my birthday in the third year of junior high school, Dad, have you prepared a gift for me?"

"Well, I'm ready."

After a short silence, Father Xu whispered: "Youyou, it is not my wish to let you fall into the unpredictable unknown world, nor is it your mother's wish, we all hope that you can live a peaceful and happy life, this responsibility is not something you should bear." ”

"Dad, you're starting to be sentimental again, aren't we all talking? Your task is to take care of my mother, take care of yourself, wait for my triumphant return, you have to welcome me with a welcome hero's attitude, and when I successfully wake up my mother, the three of us will re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, what world tour, what polar exploration, don't let go! ”

Xu Qiaoyou knew that her family was different from ordinary people since she was a child, there was a temple on the top of Taihang Mountain, where it was lively and full of tourists, it was her favorite place when she was a child, although she had to walk for three hours every time she was small, but she was never tired of it, and gradually, she heard and saw more, and naturally she could distinguish where the difference was.

First of all, no one lives in a bamboo hut in the mountains like them, there is no electricity, no modern equipment, no internet, even the temples on the mountains are made of stone, and there are a few beautiful hotels with several floors, everything modern is available.

Secondly, no one's family will have a mother who lies on the ice bed all the year round, does not need to eat, drink and is not conscious, and a father who is full of wealth, has a good mouth, and wears a robe all the year round.

Despite this, she lived here carefree for seven years......
