In July, in the middle of Shu, in the western mountainous area, the sunlight is strong. The mountain road winds up from the foot of the mountain, and is covered by green trees halfway up the mountain. The mountains are full of green waves.

Dong Xiaokui and Li Yongfeng didn't say a word, and walked up the mountain one after the other. The mountain road gradually narrows, but fortunately it is the intersection of the western hills and the mountains, which is not a deep mountain, so the mountain is not steep, but the plants are still flourishing.

On both sides of this mountain road, the green grass is full of vitality, and the tall trees make the burning July cool.

When I was a child, my father returned to the ancestral house whenever he was free, and Dong Xiaokui went to the mountains to play with a group of children from his family. Make spider silk bamboo webs to stick cicadas in the mountains and forests, or pick red mulberries, pick up the hem of your clothes to make your pockets, put them full, and don't want to stop. If it's summer, a group of people gather the flowers of Nanale and weave them into garlands, wear them on their heads, and sing all the songs they can on the mountain.

Of course, her favorite is May, when the locust flowers bloom all over the mountains, and the white locust flowers hang in clusters among the green trees, overflowing with sweet fragrance. She walked in the locust forest, and always felt that it was the most romantic in the world.

Later, my father was gone. His bones were laid in the ancestral grave of Hexiangdu, and the ancestral grave was on this mountain. When Dad died, it was autumn, a few days before her birthday.

On that day, the weather was dark and dreary, and the withered yellow leaves stained the mountains and fields with gold. Because my father died of illness in Yunlai Town, the funeral procession went for a long time. She and Dong Xiaohuai walked in front, holding the spirit. Dong Xiaohuai, who has always been naughty, also didn't say a word, and at a few years old, he walked so far for the first time. In the past, he asked his parents to carry him back to Hexiangdu.

The sister and brother did not cry, and were silent all the way, one holding the spiritual position, and the other sprinkling the dark paper. When I crossed the bridge, I heard the instructions of the funeral master, burned paper money, scattered a lot of paper, and said: "Go well, go well." "When you say this, don't weep.

In this way, a group of people carried a huge coffin up the mountain. It was placed in the tomb that had long been favored by his father's birthday. I watched my uncles build coffins, build tombs, and finally cover the coffins with maroon soil grains.

She suddenly realized that from then on, she would never see her father again, and sat on the ground all of a sudden, without any strength at all, and tears flowed down her face. On this side of the low grave, a bluestone tombstone separates her from her father, and they will never see each other.

Later, except for worshipping her father, she rarely returned to Hexiangdu. But when I returned to Hexiangdu, I would always go up the mountain alone and go to the ancestral grave. The ancestral tomb of the Dong family is on the top of the mountain, covering a wide area, and the heads of the family of the past generations are placed, as well as the people who have made a difference. The green pines and cypresses have been unknown for many years, so that some trees have been listed as national protected tree species.

She stood there for a long time, looking at her father's grave, silent, or saying a lot of things. Aggrieved, sad, there is no way to say it to people. She said to her father's tomb. Every time he finished speaking, he always smiled, as if comforting his father, saying, "Dad, I'm bothering you again, but I'm nothing." There will always be many twists and turns in life, but I will live a good life and try to take good care of my brother and mother. ”

Then, she will go all the way to the highest peak of this mountain, sit on the big bluestone of the highest peak, look at the mountains in the distance, have a bird's-eye view of the entire Hexiangdu, look at the ancestral house that has been inherited for a hundred years, and meditate on her future.

This mountain is her most secret place, the softest place in her heart.

After walking with Li Yongfeng for a while, and after bypassing a few bends, he saw a high ground in the mountain, the terrain was flat, and hundreds of tombs were arranged like some kind of ancient formation. Surrounded by lush green trees.

Li Yongfeng, who had been following behind him without saying a word, suddenly asked, "This is here?" ”

"The ancestral grave of the Dong family." Dong Xiaokui replied, and his footsteps did not stop because of this.

Li Yongfeng stopped because of these words, and waited for Dong Xiaokui to walk a long way before shouting: "Xiaokui." ”

Dong Xiaokui was thinking about how to explain to his ancestors and ancestors, but he didn't notice that Li Yongfeng stopped, so he turned around to look at him. The two looked at each other from a distance, surrounded by vines and grasses, and this scene was very literary.

"What's wrong?" Dong Xiaokui asked.

Li Yongfeng frowned and asked, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

Naturally, it is about the development of the Dong family. Dong Xiaokui thought in his heart, but on the surface, he just said: "The air in the mountains is good, come and walk." Let you feel the pure natural, original ecology. ”

Li Yongfeng let out a faint "oh", the eyes that had been staring at him before converged, and his whole expression looked very calm. Dong Xiaokui could see his disappointment, maybe he wanted to hear another answer.

But she can't afford to give other answers. So he just smiled and pretended to be stupid, and said, "Let's go, go around, and see where I live." I used to come to play in this mountain when I was a child, but the children of our Dong family would not come to the ancestral grave. Because adults have warnings that will disturb the ancestors. ”

"Hmm." Li Yongfeng didn't talk much, as if he was thinking about something. With his hands in his pockets, he walked over slowly, walking side by side with Dong Xiaokui.

The ancestral cemetery of the Dong family is not magnificent, but it is not a mound of mass graves, because it is regularly maintained, so there are no mossy marks on the surrounding stone platforms, and there are no wild grasses.

She walked to her father's grave and stood still, looked at it for a while, and then said to Li Yongfeng, "This is my father's grave." ”

"Hmm." Li Yongfeng only replied one word, and stood there with her. The wind around it was blowing one after another, blowing the woods like the waves of the sea.

After a long silence, she slowly recounted that her father was sick and died, and she used to sit on the top of this mountain and watch the clouds roll up and the birds come and go.

She narrated calmly, and Li Yongfeng listened quietly. Later, she didn't speak again. He whispered, "It's all over, you're doing well." ”

Dong Xiaokui lowered her eyes, chuckled, and said, "If it weren't for your help." This time, I'm afraid I will live up to my father's expectations and face my ancestors without shame. So, thank you very much. ”

As she spoke, she turned around and bowed deeply to Li Yongfeng. Li Yongfeng was startled, suddenly held her shoulders, frowned again, his tone was a little displeased, with a feeling of hatred that iron is not steel, and shouted reproachfully: "Dong Xiaokui, don't say thank you again, you-"

Dong Xiaokui raised her eyebrows and looked at him, asking with her eyes. He grabbed her shoulders tightly and whispered, "How do you say you are like this?" It's upsetting. ”

"How?" Dong Xiaokui asked rhetorically. She vaguely understood, and she vaguely didn't.

"Nothing." Li Yongfeng suddenly let go of her, then turned around and bowed to her father's tombstone, and said in a solemn tone, "Uncle, don't worry." In my lifetime, I will take good care of Aoi. ”

His sudden solemn remark made Dong Xiaokui stunned. The words are like promises. And she brought him here because she didn't want it to be like this.

Commitment to this kind of thing is the most binding to people's hearts. Once exported, it is a heavy burden; Once in the ear, you can't do it well.

She admits that she has some bad intentions, and knows that he is good to her, and that's how she makes him cooperate with her. Jointly solve the snowballing development problem of the Dong family, as well as the problems of the ancestral house, such as the retention, renovation, etc.

The reason why she chose Li Yongfeng was because his strength was enough, and on the other hand, she believed in her own judgment and eyesight. If you see a person clearly, you will have some confidence in working with him.

Speaking of which, bringing him here is a bit despicable. Because before this negotiation, she brought him here and played an emotional card. This kind of thing is something that Dong Xiaokui despises, but now for the sake of the Dong family, she actually did it.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh lightly, and felt more and more sorry for Li Yongfeng. Raising his eyebrows and looking at his back, I remembered that he recounted his childhood by the rope bridge in the moonlight, and recounted that "the family attaches great importance to the eldest brother and loves the younger sister, and I only returned to the Li family at the age of fourteen to .....", I couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and I saw that this back became more and more lonely.

Yes, his favorite sister is no longer there. And he is so lonely. Dong Xiaokui's heart hurt slightly, and she secretly said to herself: The past is in the past, and it is rare to be confused. From now on, if it is like today, then you must treat this person with your heart.

Li Yongfeng naturally didn't know about the changes in Dong Xiaokui's psychology, he stood and looked at the cemetery for a while, and said: "Judging from the specifications of the cemetery, the Dong family is an out-and-out hairpin family. Even if it has been hidden for so many generations, this kind of attention and cultivation still exists, even our Li family sometimes does not match. ”

Dong Xiaokui came back to his senses at this time, stepped forward, stood side by side with him, and explained to him the glory of the ancestors of the family one by one. Every few generations there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Li Yongfeng was surprised again and again.

Dong Xiaokui smiled, then walked to the tombstone of the nearest brilliant person, and said: "This is my grandfather, going south and north, doing leather business." It is said that the person is also handsome, and the brush in one hand is chic and elegant. Not only that, but he also protects the peace of this side. There are many bandits in Shuzhong, but they never robbed the things of Hexiangdu, and later died in the Northeast, and they are also heroes of Tie Zhengzheng. I listened to my grandfathers and fathers and uncles talk about it, and I admired it very much. ”

"Such a person must be a man of the hour." Li Yongfeng said as he bent down to look at the name engraved on the bluestone tombstone, and read it out: Dong Yuehua.

"Well, grandpa's name. Every time Grandpa talked about it, he said that he didn't know how many generations would come out this time, and such a brilliant person could come out. Dong Xiaokui continued.

Li Yongfeng straightened up, smiled, and said, "That's it." ”

She knew that Li Yongfeng was talking about her, but she still shook her head and said, "Xiaohuai is uncertain, a little impetuous, and doesn't see the problem far enough. I'm afraid it won't work. ”

"Silly." Li Yongfeng poured out a word and continued to walk forward.

It seemed that there was no need to agree, and the two kept walking to the highest peak, rarely talking along the way. As a result, Dong Xiaokui felt that she had no way to start, and she didn't know how to introduce the matter of development at such a moment.

Finally, when the two walked to the top of the mountain, Li Yongfeng looked at the huge stone and said, "This is where you sit in meditation, right?" ”

"What zazen, I don't want to see through the red dust. Those who see through the red dust are unfortunate in life. And my life will be brilliant step by step in the future. Dong Xiaokui stood there, the mountain wind was fierce, and there was a lot of noise around him.

She looked back and saw Li Yongfeng standing against the tree, with an indifferent smile on his face, like a landscape painting with light ink.

"You're going to make it." He said unhurriedly, then sat down on the stone.

"That's nature." Dong Xiaokui replied.

The two were silent again, and the atmosphere was awkward again.

Dong Xiaokui felt a little strange. Whether it was in the past or now, no matter how many things have passed, the relationship between her and Li Yongfeng, every time they talk, somehow, they suddenly have nothing to say when they talk and talk, and then there is silence, which is particularly abrupt and embarrassing.

Li Yongfeng seems to feel the same way. Rather embarrassed, he sat speechless. After a while, he asked: "Xiaokui, why didn't you ask me what I talked about in the West Chamber today?" ”

Finally, the conversation turned to that. Dong Xiaokui looked at him and said with a smile: "I naturally fully trust you." However, looking at the look of the woman surnamed Zhou today, you know each other, right? ”

Li Yongfeng did not deny it, nor did he admit it. Instead, he changed the conversation and asked Dong Xiaokui: "If you want to take revenge on someone, what is the best way to do it." ”

Dong Xiaokui felt a sigh in her heart, she didn't want to continue talking, so she stood up, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "I think we should go back." Lunch should be almost ready. Today you are the benefactor of the Dong family, so I invite you to taste the feast of the Dong family. That's a nine-way family dish. Specially designed to entertain distinguished guests. ”

She said as she walked down the hill. Li Yongfeng also stood up, walked over quickly, grabbed Dong Xiaokui at once, and asked with a cold face: "Say, what do you know?" ”

Dong Xiaokui lowered her eyes, and secretly shouted in her heart: Li Sishao, why are you so unpopular? I said that I don't want to talk about it, but you still dig into the bottom of it, what do you want?

Now, since he asked, he can't answer no. So he said, "Know a little, that woman knows you." You definitely didn't come to Yunlai by accident. ”

"What else?" Li Yongfeng's tone was anxious.

"Anything else?" Dong Xiaokui didn't look at him too much.

Li Yongfeng frowned and said, "That woman is the eldest girl who grew up with me, and Shanghua Group belongs to my cousin." As for why I developed Hexiangdu, I-"

Dong Xiaokui was afraid of hearing him say everything, so he stopped him and said: "Shanghua's trade secrets are not enough to be known to outsiders. ”

Li Yongfeng was speechless, just looked at her in a daze, and said for a long time: "Xiaokui." I-"

"Don't say anything. Your cousin is your cousin, you are you. Dong Xiaokui smiled and comforted, then changed the conversation and said, "Your big girl is very beautiful, but she is a little aggressive." However, such a woman is very capable. ”

"I don't like it. She thinks a lot from her heart. Li Yongfeng shrugged.

Dong Xiaokui pursed his lips and said: "You boys, you just like that kind of innocent bird, you can beat and scold, you have to laugh, and you have to be beautiful." I will only look up to you all my life. ”

"Dong-Xiao-Kui," Li Yongfeng said word by word, with a straight face.

"What? This is a fact. Judging from the fact that you envy Ye San's big girl. Dong Xiaokui shrugged.

"No. I'm itching—" Li Yongfeng looked uncomfortable, and reached out to grab his arm and neck. Dong Xiaokui was surprised.

(The plot needs it, don't worry, don't worry~~ Parting is for a better reunion, isn't it?) Xiao Kui and Xu Er are too)......
