Chapter 306: Return
In the mountains and forests at night, the cold wind is howling, whining, and the sound of the wind is accompanied by the rustle of the branches and leaves of the dry trees being carried by the wind, which is particularly unsettling to listen to in this dark night.
Twenty or thirty carriages lined up on the newly opened avenue halfway up the mountainside, and the men who drove the carriages led the blindfolded and ear-plugged horses, and kept soothing the restless horses, and the sturdy horses could not stop neighing, and if it were not for the strong and strong horses, they would not be able to control the tall horses with their hooves in their hands.
On a flat ground next to the convoy, a tent made of animal skins was erected, a bonfire was blazing in front of the tent, Fu stood by the fire with Yongyi in his arms, and Ah Fu stood on the side of the road, looking at the peak under the deep sky.
At this time, you can still see bursts of smoke and sporadic firelight on the top of the mountain, the dark clouds disperse, the thunder gradually extinguishes, the sky is full of stars, and the moon is like a new wash, which makes the fireworks on the top of the mountain more dazzling.
"Big brother, my father and my mother are coming down the mountain, right? I want to see my mother. Yongyi hugged his right neck, his little face was pressed against his bearded chin, and he pouted, looking like he was about to cry.
"Don't worry, Wu Ji said, after the thunderstorm, if the clouds open the thunder, it will be done, if it doesn't work, it will inevitably rain blood and cry, if the moon is bright today, my father and mother will be fine, and this matter will definitely be done!" Ah Fu smiled at Yongyi with confidence and said warmly. "Don't worry, they'll be down in a moment. ”
"Hmm!" Yongyi nodded vigorously, his big eyes slightly reddened, staring at the end of the forest avenue, and pursed his mouth.
The horses fell silent, no one spoke, no sound sounded, and the woodland was as quiet as if no one was in a no-man's land, except for the wind, and everyone stared at the dark end of the woodland in the moonlight, as if to see through the road.
The wind was still howling, but there was no movement on the avenue, and the accompanying Tsing Yi guards lit torches one after another, and when they walked to the avenue, hundreds of people supported a long fire dragon.
The firelight swayed and crackled in the wind, and the illuminated road was so long that it seemed to be the same picture forever, Ah Fu stared at the darkness at the end of the firelight, his eyes were blown by the wind and tears, his feet unconsciously moved forward slowly, and his white and handsome little face became whiter and whiter.
"Why haven't you come yet? It's time to come down, it's been half an hour, isn't it said that you will go down the mountain soon if you do a good job? Why haven't you come yet? Why haven't you ......come yet?"
Ah Fu couldn't stop chattering, until he moved to the end of the torch dragon, and the tears in his eyes became more and more fierce, gradually wetting the dark purple collar of the front placket.
The bright moon was setting in the west, and just when everyone had endured it to the limit, there was finally a steady footstep sound in the darkness at the end of the avenue.
The footsteps were not heard very clearly in the mountain wind, but they really reached Ah Fu's ears, and Ah Fu was happy on his face, spread his legs and ran into the darkness.
The two guards standing at the front followed Ah Fu forward, and under the light of the torches, the three of them soon saw Gongzi Cheng who was slowly walking with Ye Ziyi in his arms.
Looking at Ye Ziyi, who was held in Gongzicheng's arms, Ah Fu stopped suddenly, he stared stupidly at Ye Ziyi's slightly pale face under the firelight, and slowly looked at Gongzicheng with trembling lips.
"Father, mother, she...... She...... Isn't it ......" Ah Fu looked up at Gongzi Cheng who was slowly approaching, choked up and burst into tears, but he couldn't say the word that made him unacceptable.
Gongzi Cheng walked slowly past Ah Fu towards the bright firelight, only whispering as he passed by him. "Your mother is tired and fine. ”
Ah Fu stood dumbfounded, hearing this, he lowered his head and smiled with relief, but the tears never stopped for a moment, crying and laughing and standing in place for a while, he turned around suddenly, raised his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face, lifted the hem of his clothes and strode to Gongzicheng's side.
Pulling Gongzicheng's sleeves, Ah Fu stretched his neck and glanced at Gongzicheng's arms, and when he saw Ye Ziyi's fluttering eyelashes, he was completely relieved, and the smile on his face became bigger and bigger.
Walking into the avenue illuminated by the torch, Ye Ziyi still didn't look like he was about to wake up, and he greeted him with Yongyi in his arms, and when he saw Gongzicheng's indifferent and cold face, he was all in his heart, and when he saw Ah Fu smiling on the side, the two of them put their hearts back in their stomachs, and at the same time let out a long breath.
"Father!" Yongyi called sweetly, and when he saw Gongzi Cheng shaking his head slightly, he immediately covered his mouth with his two small hands, and said no more.
"Your Majesty, the carriage and horses are ready, do you want to go back to Zhuangzi tonight?" Fu walked on the other side of Gongzicheng, glanced at Ye Ziyi, who was breathing thinly, and his voice was very low.
"Go back. As Gongzicheng spoke, he was already running to the carriage parked on the side of the road, and when he walked to the side of the car, he sat on the wheel, rubbed in front of the door, folded his long legs, and rubbed into the car with Ye Ziyi on his knees.
The three people under the car looked at Gongzicheng's clumsy appearance, and they all frowned, until they watched him go in, and Yongyi asked Ah Fudao. "Big brother, wouldn't it be better for my father to jump into the car just now?"
"How do I know? I think my mother is too heavy to hold her still. Ah Fu pursed his lips and raised his chin. "Let's go, get in the car first, it's cold, don't stand here. ”
"Hmm!good!" Yongyi nodded very obediently and patted his right shoulder. "Flick right, let's go over, I want to see my mother's mother." ”
"Yes. Flick the right and put Yongyi steadily, Yongyi's feet touched the car board, and immediately got into the canopy.
Ah Fu propped himself up and got into the car, lifted the curtain and was about to go in, but suddenly as if he remembered something, he retreated again.
Glancing towards the curtain of the car, Ah Fu called Fu Right to his side and whispered in his ear. "Flick right, please take someone to the top of the mountain to take a look, is there a corpse, I sent Qiu Ji as a stand-in for my mother to block the thunder, if there is, I will bury her. ”
"Fu Gongzi, it's not a pity that Qiu Ji died, why bother with her?" Fu You was a little disdainful, obviously not wanting to send someone to see Qiu Ji who died on the mountain and take care of the aftermath for her.
"Da Wu said, all cause and effect, have their own fixed number, it is better to reduce rather than increase, Qiu Ji harmed my mother, guilty, and now she is a thunderbolt for her mother, meritorious, both meritorious and meritorious, since she should give her a peace, it can be regarded as a peace of mind. Ah Fu said, glanced at the car curtain, and pouted. "Bury it farther away, so that my father will miss her again one day. ”
"Yes. Fu You smiled and nodded at Ah Fu, and replied to him in a very low voice. "Don't worry, Childe, I will bury that Qiu Ji in a hidden place, and others will not be able to find her easily. ”
"I'm tired. Ah Fu nodded, turned back into the canopy, and sat next to Yongyi on the animal skin cushion on the board.
The convoy drove slowly, slowly moving towards the bottom of the mountain, looking at Ah Fu with his eyes closed and his thumbs around each other, Gongzi Cheng bent the corners of his lips, leaned against the wall of the car and leaned next to Ye Ziyi, holding her hand and pretending to sleep.
A short candle was lit in the car, and the bright firelight was reflected on the faces of Gongzi Cheng and Ye Ziyi, which was picturesque and poetic.
Looking at his parents who were clinging to each other, Yongyi said with a happy face. "Big brother, my mother won't die, our family can finally be together, and we can enjoy the mountains and rivers together in the future, it's good. ”
"Have you forgotten what your mother said to your father on the ship? when you are ten years old, you will inherit the throne, how can you have so many happy times?" Ah Fu didn't open his eyes, but raised his eyebrows, and said that Yongyi's mouth was flattened, and his face was depressed.
"Mother's parents just said that, it shouldn't be true. Yongyi pouted, looked sideways at his father beside him, and lowered his little head. "My father loves me the most since I was a child, so he won't leave me alone, besides, what can I do as a ten-year-old baby?
"Have your father and mother taken care of you and me these days?" Ah Fu said without being polite at all, and simply meditated cross-legged, looking unfathomable.
"Big brother, if you keep quiet, my father will hear it. Although Yongyi said this in his mouth, his voice was not small at all, and when the two of them were talking vigorously, they suddenly spoke outside.
"It's as late as a night, two sons, it's been a day, let's rest. ”
Yongyi pouted at the curtain of the car window, glanced at Ah Fu beside him, and unhappily hugged his calf to learn Ah Fu to meditate.
I tried to pull the calf for a long time, but the fleshy calf didn't pull him up, Yongyi used a force, and the small body like a snow ball leaned back suddenly, and the back of the head slammed into the wall of the car.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
At the same time, two sneers came from both sides, Yongyi sat up with his head covered, looked angrily at his father who was pretending to be asleep on the left and his brother who was meditating on the right, glared at the two of them with bulging cheeks, got up and crawled over Gongzicheng's thigh and carefully nestled into Ye Ziyi's arms.
Ye Ziyi slept very deeply, even if she was so noisy, she didn't wake up, Yongyi glanced at Ye Ziyi's sleeping face worriedly, lowered her little head, and held her arm between Gongzicheng and Ye Ziyi, and slowly closed her eyes.
After a short time, Ah Fu, who was sitting on the car board, also slowly tilted his body, the body was bumpy, and Ah Fu's body fell towards the car board as soon as he tilted his body.
Ah Fu's body fell halfway, and a big hand held his little head, Gongzi Cheng gently took Ah Fu with him, pulled him to the cushion on his side and lay down, he untied the cloak on Ah Fu's body sideways, covered him, and covered Ye Ziyi's thin quilt on Yongyi, and then leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes.
Ah Fu, who was lying on the car board, opened his eyes, he tightened the cloak on his body, and a pair of black bright pupils glanced at Gongzi's long, half-bent legs, and the corners of his lips slowly raised.
Closing his eyes again, the corners of Ah Fu's mouth rose, his little face rubbed the fox fur with the smooth neckline, and the long and dense eyelashes weaved a beautiful light and shadow under his eyes.
The bright moon outside the car shone obliquely, and the carriages lined up, walking quietly in the night, the convoy wandered through the moonlit forest avenue, straight to the other village at the bottom of the mountain.
