Chapter 38: Paradise
Mu Bai took Ling Ling all the way west, out of Jiangnan, and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain not far from Jiangnan.
He sped all the way, cutting what would have taken two days into a full day.
And Ling Ling, who had never ridden a horse on the way, was choked enough, and fainted no less than five times.
After dismounting, Ling Ling sat on the edge of the tree, and there was no trace of blood on his pretty little face.
"Mu Bai, how far is it?"
She said weakly, Mu Bai sat beside her, put one hand on his knee, and handed the kettle to Ling Ling.
"When you go up to this Jinhua Mountain, you will arrive."
He smiled at the corners of his mouth, and his dark eyes looked at her shallowly.
"Since we're almost there, can we ride slowly? I...... I really can't stand it. ”
Tossing all the way, her good-looking three thousand green silks were already messy, but Ling Ling, who was not dizzy, didn't bother to care about it at all.
"Okay."
As she spoke, Mu Bai raised her hand to pick up a strand of hair hanging on her shoulder, and her slender and beautiful fingers patiently smoothed it one by one.
Seeing this, Ling Ling moved to the side and raised his hand to snatch the hair from Mu Bai's hand.
"You tell me that I'll do it myself."
She roughly combed her hair with her fingers, and the hair was a little badly knotted after the wind blew it, and her fingers were stuck when she was less than halfway down, she frowned, and endured the irritability caused by the knotted hair, and smoothed her hair.
"Give."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Mu Bai took out a delicate and beautiful small wooden comb from his sleeve and handed it to Ling Ling. Ling Ling was stunned for a moment, took the wooden comb, and when he combed his hair, he suddenly found that Mu Bai's slightly brown and good-looking curls were actually hanging down behind him with a texture, and the two short bangs on his forehead were a little messy, but they looked like they were ...... I made a general.
"Your hair ......" Ling Ling looked at without looking directly, "is it fake?" ”
The corner of Mu Bai's mouth stiffened with a smile.
"Miss Xiaoling, doesn't she think my hair is good-looking, but she is jealous in her heart?" He quipped.
"Otherwise, why is my hair so messy, but yours is as good as ever?"
Ling Ling pursed his lips and kept combing his messy hair with his hands.
"Your hair is riding a horse for the first time, mine is used to it."
As he spoke, a naughty smile rose at the corner of his mouth, revealing his neat and beautiful teeth.
Ling Ling gave him a blank look, turned his head away, and combed his hair seriously.
"This comb was bought by a country by chance, and I thought it looked good, and when I saw that Miss Xiaoling needed it so much, I gave it to Miss Xiaoling."
The smile on the corner of his mouth was even bigger, and his eyes under the white mask were full of amusement.
"Thank you!" Ling Ling turned her head to look at Mu Bai, seeing the white half-face mask on his face, she suddenly remembered something, she straightened her hair, stuck the comb on the bun, lowered her head, and touched her sleeve.
She didn't have any hairpins in her bun, just two simple white flowers, and she casually put the comb so on, which looked very good.
She took a silver mask out of her sleeve and sent it to Mu Bai, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, her bright and moving eyes were full of pride.
"I think the mask on your face is too ugly, so I specially asked my stepfather to make such one, this is unique in the world!"
Looking at the silver half-face mask in Ling Ling's hand with a special shape and a unique pattern, Mu Bai's eyes flashed.
"This mask ......"
"This mask is made of the strongest and lightest material, and the pattern on it is something I dreamed of when I slept by chance, and I thought it was very unique, so I added it."
After all, it was she who secretly took the ring on his hand while he was asleep, how could she tell the truth!
The corners of Mu Bai's mouth hooked, and he raised his hand to take the mask.
"Then thank you Miss Xiaoling!"
"Since you took it, hurry up and put it on!" As he spoke, Ling Ling turned his back to Mu Bai, "Don't worry, I won't peek at you." ”
His obsidian eyes softened, and he smiled softly, raising his hand to remove the mask from his face and replace it with a silver mask.
After a short rest, the two continued on horseback.
This time, Mu Bai shook the reins leisurely, and the horse moved forward slowly.
Ling Ling rode on horseback like a cradle, the sudden contrast made her spirit that had not been relaxed on the way gradually relaxed, accompanied by the good smell of flowers in the air, her eyes gradually lost focus, and she fell asleep.
When they opened their eyes, they were at the top of the mountain.
The clouds and mist on the top of the mountain gradually appeared in front of me.
The side of the house leans against the mountain peak, which seems to form a perfect blend with the peak, and the dense bamboo is exposed behind the wall in front of the house, completely hiding its exact size.
"This is where your master lives?" Ling Ling looked at the strangely shaped but extremely elegant mansion in front of him with some surprise, and asked softly.
"Well, come down."
Mu Bai jumped off the horse's back and reached out to catch Ling Ling.
"Follow me."
He turned around and walked to the door of the mansion, raised his hand to push open the door, and walked inside, Ling Ling lifted the corner of his clothes and quickly followed.
As soon as she entered the gate of the house, there was a large bamboo forest with no end in sight, Mu Bai took her to walk around in the bamboo forest irregularly, with the previous experience of the bamboo garden, Ling Ling probably also knew that this bamboo forest also had a peculiar formation, but it was different from the bamboo garden, she couldn't guess the walking method at all.
It took them more than half an hour before they walked out of the bamboo forest.
And out of the bamboo forest, the scene that appeared in front of him made Ling Ling so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
Behind the bamboo forest, you can see almost half of the back mountain, they come all the way, although the scenery is beautiful, but it is also steep and rugged, and the back mountain in front of you seems to have been razed to the ground, and you can vaguely see a few inclined slopes.
On this large piece of land, there are several simple and elegant attic courtyards, and the connection between these attic courtyards is the forest and the sea of flowers, although it is the beginning of spring, but it is a cluster of flowers, the image of lush branches.
Ling Ling couldn't help but sigh, a paradise!
"Brother Xiaobai!"
As he sighed, a somewhat immature boy shouted in his ears.
A young man in a green shirt of about eleven or twelve ran towards them, the young man was as warm as jade, his immature face revealed a little heroic spirit that was not inferior to that of an adult, he raised the corners of his mouth, and his clear and beautiful eyes were full of joy.
"Xiao Nan has grown a lot taller."
A doting smile rose into the corners of his delicate mouth under his silver mask, and he raised his hand to caress the boy's head.
"Grandpa is waiting for you."
"Okay, I'll go over, Xiao Nan, you help me settle the horse in front of the door and bring in the luggage on the horse."
"Okay, Brother Xiaobai."
The young man nodded and smiled politely at Ling Ling, and then disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.
"Xiao Nan's full name is Hua Sinan, he has been by Master's side since he was a child, come with me, and I will take you to see Master."
