The next day, Quan Bao led everyone out of the canyon grottoes, to the main peak of the deeper part of Longquan Snow Mountain, Longquan Snow Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, there are fifty-six peaks, the main peak Longquan Peak is as high as a thousand meters, and Du Youjia wants other peaks of Zaoju can also be picked, but now they are afraid of the officers and soldiers chasing, so Quan Bao decided to go to the main peak, one to avoid the pursuit of Longquan Snow Mountain, and came to return the gift, with the best Zaoju to thank the two of them.

Bringing the people sent by Luo Changxin, the county magistrate, Luo Qi, who was still dressed in red, led the people into the mountain mightily, but dozens of peaks in Longquan Snow Mountain towered into the clouds, and they lost their way not long after they entered the mountain, but fortunately, the leader who entered the mountain yesterday left a mark, and then found the way forward, and only walked for two hours, Luo Qi sat on the rock tiredly to rest, and then thought of his dignified seven-foot Erlang, but he couldn't compare to the group of weak female streams and drooping young children, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to move forward.

"Childe, those Diao people are naturally despicable, why do you have to be angry with them? We might as well wait for the rabbits, I don't believe that they will hide in the mountains and never return to Longquan Village for the rest of their lives! ”

Someone below came up with an idea, and Luo Qi listened and thought for a moment: "But what if someone of them goes to denounce my father?" My dad said he had to catch them to catch those who had the audacity to escape. ”

"Childe doesn't know that this officialdom has always been protected by officials and officials? The old man sent someone to intercept him, and sent more silver to the new prefect, isn't that the previous prefect like this? "It was the officer and soldier who led the way into the mountain yesterday.

"That's what you said, I don't believe they won't go back to Longquan Village in this life. Let's go, let's go back. The young man in red swept away the gloom and walked back.

"Childe, you go back first, I'll take a few brothers to look for it again, maybe I'll be lucky enough to meet it."

Luo Qi glanced at the middle-aged man who was speaking and praised: "It's just that you have a little use, what's your name?" ”

"Subordinate Zhao Gandan."

"Sure enough, I'm full of liver and gall, okay, my son remembers you."

When Luo Qi and his party walked away, among the three soldiers who were left behind, someone complained: "Brother Zhao, aren't you cheating us!" ”

"That's right! Brother Zhao, we stayed in this barren mountain and mountain to meet jackals, tigers and leopards. ”

"Don't worry, you Brother Zhao are here." Zhao Gandan was no longer pious and humble at this time, and the hatred in his eyes was strong and strong.

"But—"

"But what, when did Brother Zhao lie to you, those medicine farmers in this snowy mountain often come up, as long as they don't fall alone, there will be no big danger, let's find a cave to spend the night first."

Seven or eight days past the peak of the early chrysanthemum picked gold covered with stones, Cui Ranxin and spring water squatting on the side rummaging, during this time women and children and the elderly were left in the stone cave halfway up the mountainside, men go to the top of the mountain to pick chrysanthemums every day before dawn, now it has been covered with a large area, yellow with red bursts of fragrance to cleanse people's hearts.

The women left behind in the afternoon were preparing dinner attentively, the old people were playing with the children, and the crisp and muddy laughter blended with each other, and the old and the new continued here.

Soon, I heard the heavy footsteps of the men, and the spring water pulled Cui Ranxin to run quickly towards the crowd, and saw the bright and dark red figure in the crowd from a distance, and the girl in front of her blushed cheeks.

"Uncle Yuan, you're back!" Izumi embarrassedly turned his gaze to the side of the spring.

"Xiaoshui, you can say it directly when you are waiting for anyone, but don't use your uncle as a cover." As soon as Quan's words came out, a group of men laughed, which made Quanshui embarrassed and pulled Cui Ranxin to run back.

"Ignore you." Leaving a sentence, the two figures rushed back, Cui Ranxin turned back as he ran, looked at Cui Jiu'an in the crowd who had nothing to do with himself, and looked at the spring water pulling him, and then he was enlightened.

"Xiaoshui, you won't like my second brother, will you?" Cui Ranxin looked at the spring that had stopped.

"I-" I'm not sure how to speak, neither denying nor admitting it.

"I'll tell you, no, don't look at my second brother's good looks, in fact, he won't pity the jade." Cui Ran remembered the scene in Baihuazhuang, and Zhu Zhu's back of shame and sadness is still vivid.

"And—"

"And what?" Izumi asked.

"We're going to leave in three years and go to a far away place." Cui Ranxin whispered.

"How far? Where? ”

Cui Ranxin faced the girl's concern, and was ready to say truthfully: "Return-"

"Spring water, I picked it up in the mountains, you take it and share it with the children." Before Cui Ranxin's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by the teenager.

Cui Jiuan was carrying half a beehive in his hand, the hive was very large and golden, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Hearing the other party call his name, the young man's voice was tactful and low, and the spring water was flattered to take the beehive in the other party's hand, the fingertips touched, sparks splashed, and the spring water was involuntary as if he were electrocuted, and he looked at the other party stupidly and couldn't take a step.

"Second brother, I'm still a child!" Cui Ranxin pulled the stiff spring water into the stone cave.

No one remembers the conversation just now, but the children saw such a large beehive, smelled the fragrance, and came over, and their little faces were full of smiles and happiness.

Coating the honey on the dough cakes, eating them one by one was very happy, Cui Ran touched his round belly, sat on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.

"Xin'er, I've eaten too much, let's go out for a walk!"

"Good!"

The two walked outside, and the spring water pulled Cui Ranxin and asked in a low voice: "Xin'er, to be honest, do you also think that I am not good-looking and worthy of your second brother." ”

"Not really." Cui Ran thought of Lu Linwen in Xijing, such a beautiful woman, Cui Jiu'an did not squint.

"My second brother won't judge people by their appearance."

"Really?" Izumi asked happily.

"Of course, you're pretty good-looking!" Cui Ranxin looked at the girl in front of her carefully, with willow eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, a straight nose, and red lips that were delicate and lovely no matter how you looked at them.

"But my mother said that I was just a wild flower in the mountains, and Brother Jiu'an was the bright moon in the sky, which was unattainable."

Looking at the lost spring, Cui Ran said against his will: "He is not as good as his aunt said, he is also a layman, his disguise has deceived everyone at home, in fact, he has a bad temper, he is still cautious, and he likes to sing." Cui Ranxin accidentally betrayed his second brother.

"Really? I thought that people like you who were born well would look down on these! ”

"My mother is a Hua Miao clan, so she was born with a good voice, and I also inherited my mother's good voice, but unfortunately my father said that the daughter of a good family can't sing every day, so I never dare to sing in front of outsiders."

"Xiaoshui, be quiet, sing it to me!"

I couldn't help Cui Ranxin begging again and again, and the spring sang quietly, not the mountain song that Cui Ranxin said in the travelogue, but the graceful lyrics and songs, the light words and the girl's clear voice diluted the sadness of the words, but there was a youthful vitality.

"It's good, it's good!" After singing the song, Cui Ranxin couldn't help but clap his hands.

"This lyrics and song was brought to me by my eldest brother, and he knows that I like to sing." As he spoke, he took out a worn-out book from his bosom, not thick, only a dozen thin ones, but he cherished it in his arms.

"So, your literacy was also taught by your eldest brother?"

"Well, my mother taught me some when I was a child, but she didn't recognize too much, and then my brother came back every month to teach me."

Maybe it's worrying and missing a distant relative, but the spring water under the moonlight looks like a relative.
