In the middle of winter, the endless pine forests are dyed with a richer emerald color, and against the exceptionally clear sky, it looks very quiet and dark. The flawless white snow slowly drifted down, draping the inaccessible forest in a light white coat. From far to near, a rapid sound of horses' hooves broke the silence, and I saw two horses with white smoke breathing four hooves of the wind, and drove away, and immediately there was a man wrapped in a heavy cloak, and the white snow had turned invisible before touching their clothes, as if they had internal strength to protect their bodies. When the small courtyard hidden in the depths of the woods appeared in front of the two of them, the obsidian-like eyes exposed outside the cloak instantly radiated with joy, and he urged the horse to gallop while shouting ahead: "Yue'er! After a while, a white figure stepped out of the courtyard in the snow, and stood in front of the courtyard gate looking around anxiously. The man hurriedly leaped from the galloping horse, and when he had gained a foothold on the ground, he let go of his steps and ran towards the white figure. By the time the white figure saw the face of the person hidden under the cloak, the man had already run to her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Brother Qi......" Ning Yue buried her head in his chest, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Yue'er, I'm back......" An Ruiqi kissed her hair lightly and whispered.

The leader of the Shadow Guards, who arrived later, quietly looked at the inseparable two not far away, and sighed helplessly. After a long time, Ning Yue wiped away her tears and walked into the courtyard with An Ruiqi. At the end of the courtyard is a two-storey brick house, which looks through the open wooden door, and the furnishings are elegant and ingenious, which shows that the owner of the house should be a vassal and elegant person.

In the hall facing the courtyard, the smiling face sitting alone by the stove was originally sad, but when he saw An Ruiqi, he immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "Brother-in-law! You're finally here! ”

An Ruiqi listened to her words, secretly happy in his heart, and responded with a smile, but when he saw Ning Yue frowning, he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Now that the war is over, I'd better go back to Qingfeng Mountain earlier, lest my brother-in-law find out that I'm not there and get angry......," smiled and muttered with a sad face.

"Sister Xiaoyan hasn't seen Grandpa Yan and Yue'er for many days, she must be very worried...... It's all my fault, I didn't care about it......" Ning Yue realized the reason for her sullen smile these days, but she felt very guilty.

"Sister Yue'er, I am willing to stay with you, if I can, I naturally want to live with you all the time, it's just that my brother-in-law is in Qingfeng Village, and you are going back to the capital...... Whining...... Now that my brother-in-law is here, I am relieved to leave...... "I want to say goodbye to Ning Yue, I don't know when I can get together again, and my smile can't help but tears like rain."

Ning Yue was very moved after hearing this, and couldn't help crying, she hugged her smile and comforted softly: "Sister smile, don't be sad, when the matter in the capital is over, I will go to see you......"

When Xiaoyan heard this, he burst into laughter, and hurriedly replied: "Great! Sister Yue'er, I will wait for you at home! ”

Ning Yue smiled and nodded.

An Ruiqi stepped forward at this time and said humbly to a smile. "The Han family is as kind to Yue'er as a mountain, and he is very grateful, he will definitely come to the door to thank him one day, and he hopes that the smiling girl will not be bothered."

"Of course not! Yue'er's sister and brother-in-law can stay as long as they like, and it would be best if they could stay for a long time! Smile grinned back.

After lunch, Ning Yue begged An Ruiqi to let her accompany Xiaoyan back to Qingfeng Village first, and then go to the capital for trial, An Ruiqi agreed, and decided to personally escort the two, the leader of the Shadow Guard knew that it was useless to talk more, so he took his subordinates to secretly protect them along the way.

Ning Feng instructed the soldiers to send the affected people and the distributed grain back to the villages, and he rode his horse to the foot of Qingfeng Mountain. The road was unimpeded, and at noon, Ning Feng arrived at Qingfeng Village, and saw the smoke curling from the lakeside from a distance, thinking that it must be a place where the cottage people gathered, so he led the horse and walked straight there. After Ning Feng reported Shen Yidao's name to the guards, the suspicious guards led him to Shen Yidao. Shen Yidao saw that it was Ning Feng, and immediately greeted him boldly to drink wine and eat meat in the tent, and was very happy. After three rounds of drinking, Ning Feng was about to explain his intentions, but he was taken by the slightly drunk Shen Yidao to the silent vicinity of Qingfeng Village.

Shen Yidao looked at the cold ice not far away, showed a mysterious smile, and whispered to Ning Feng: "Brother Ning, fortunately you came early, otherwise I am afraid you will not be able to see me." ”

Ning Feng looked at Shen Yidao in confusion and asked, "Why did Brother Shen say this?" ”

"Tomorrow we will retake Qingfeng Mountain, as well as the icy ballista and catapult, when we are done, it will be difficult for others to get close to Qingfeng Mountain half a step." Shen Yidao replied with a grin.

"How can we get this thing back from the bottom of the water? Ning is not talented, and he also asked Brother Shen for advice. "It's not hard to cut through the ice, it's hard to get the thousand-pound chariot back to the surface.

After Shen Yidao laughed a few times, he looked at Ning Feng meaningfully and replied, "Why is this difficult? Just drain all the flood water under the ice into the lake, and you can see the water coming out. ”

Ning Feng couldn't help but be stunned, there were such capable people in Qingfeng Cottage, who were well versed in the art of water conservation, and recalled that he had worked hard to persuade the villagers of Qingfeng Village to allow the government to come to build water conservancy, and couldn't help but sigh that he was just an axe.

Shen Yidao patted Ning Feng, who was deep in thought, on the shoulder and said, "I think back then, if it wasn't for the old man and others who saw it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that there was such an unspeakable thing in this world. So, Shen Yidao told Ning Feng about his past ten years. At that time, Qingfeng Cottage was in charge of Douhu's father, one day, one of his deceased suddenly came to the cottage, entrusted a child about ten years old to him to take care of, the big boss is righteous, naturally he will not shirk, but he did not pay too much attention to the child with clear eyebrows, until a month later, the child will be a few hand-drawn drawings to the big boss, he did not look at this child differently. The following year, the great master overrode public opinion and passed on the second position of head to the child, and his only son was subordinated to him. Three years later, the ballista and catapult were built under the supervision of the second master, and the foot of Qingfeng Mountain was also dug out of a low-lying place by the people in the cottage, every time there is a rainstorm and flood, or through the second master to open the floodgate, the lake water will be poured into it, and there will be a pool of water at the foot of the mountain, like a moat around Qingfeng Mountain, plus there are ballistas and catapults hidden on the mountainside as guards, it is difficult for outsiders to climb the mountain. After a long time, not only did ordinary grass robbers dare not invade Qingfeng Cottage, but even the imperial court was a little afraid of it. Five years later, the second master took the cottages in various parts of the Song Kingdom under his umbrella and used the power in his hands to operate a variety of transactions. In the 100th year of the big master, Qingfeng cottage has long been rich, the big boss smiled and passed the position of the owner of the cottage to the second master, and his only son also took over the position of the second master with a happy heart.

Ning Feng was shocked when he heard this, and another question was added to his heart: the big boss has such mental intelligence at a young age, which is by no means comparable to ordinary children, who is he?

Since the flood disaster no longer exists, Ning Feng can finally be relieved, and after he sincerely praised the big boss, he asked Shen Yidao to be a little accommodating, so that he could go to see the big boss as soon as possible. However, the heroic Shen Yidao rejected him with a calm face: "At present, the big and small affairs in the cottage are decided by the second master, if Brother Ning has something important, he should go to the second master." After finishing speaking, Shen Yidao sighed and left gloomily.
