172 Waiting

Although it is not yet winter, it is due to the wind a few days ago. Yellow and red leaves fell all over the ground, and the warm afternoon sun shone on the shore of Jiayu Kanto Lake. From a distance, the maple leaves are yellow with red, red and yellow. It seems to be the late autumn that is still playful!

On the Gobi Desert west of Jiayuguan, it will become a battlefield of flames at any time of the year. Due to this special and dangerous situation, the sheep intestine path in the mountains is sparsely visited and very quiet. From time to time, the grey magpie weaves through the trees, chirping. It adds a bit of vitality to this tranquility, and it is really intoxicating!

Tourists look around at the still dazzling scenery while bending down to pick up a few fallen leaves. There are fan-shaped, triangular, and five-pointed star-shaped----

And so, the air exploded with the heartfelt whispers of these people: Wow, you can still see leaves of all shapes and colors in winter. Nature can be described as a "miracle"!

In ancient times, there were masters who had leisure and leisure to spend money and time to visit the beautiful scenery of various places. In addition to some literati and artists who traveled to places of interest and historical sites for the sake of creation, they are some dignitaries and nobles who combine power and money!

At this moment, the tourists who are on the shore of the Jiayuguan Lake are enjoying the "feast of their eyes". Even if they dreamed of "One Thousand and One Nights", they would never have imagined that less than ten meters behind them, the two still lush creeper vines covered the two circular holes. Hiding inside is a wife of Wan Qilin, a court criminal who has just been beheaded by a sword and axeman, and his descendants!

Of course, they didn't even know that in the hole blocked by two large rocks behind them, eight children were holding the edge of the stone with their young hands. Eight pairs of childish eyes are like the focus of a photo, looking at them without blinking through the gaps between the large rocks and the hole. In the eight pairs of eyes, there is envy, concentration, helplessness, and anxiety----

At the stone table behind the children, eight young men and eight young ladies stood. The big guy's head was pressed together and whispered: Xiao Qingniang has been gone for several days, why hasn't she returned yet? Hey, I don't know what happened to her now? I'm really worried about her!

A middle-aged woman clasped her hands around her chest, her brow furrowed, pacing vigorously along the cave wall. At the same time, a disturbing word popped out of her mouth: Hey, no matter what the situation is. Why didn't Sister Xiaoqing fly the carrier pigeons in our house to report a message? Could it be that something has happened to her?

Muttering the doubts in her heart, she couldn't help but muttered to herself in annoyance: At the beginning, I really shouldn't have listened to Wan Feng's words and stayed here to accompany the children. In any case, it's better to see it with your own eyes than to think about "tea and rice is not fragrant"!

At this time, as soon as the middle-aged woman looked up, she saw the scene at the entrance of the cave, and immediately shouted with fright on her face: If the tourists saw children in the cave, they would definitely make a loud noise as if they had discovered something new. If we attract the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who come to arrest us, the consequences will be unimaginable. Go and drag them all out of the hole!

As soon as her words landed, the four young ladies immediately crept behind the children. Each dragged the arms of the two children and dragged them inside, and said like a mosquito: "Children, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Let's go to the innermost room to play with origami boats!

Unexpectedly, the eight children struggled to continue to approach the entrance of the cave as if they had made an appointment, and muttered in unison: No, Grandma Xiaoqing has not returned yet. Let's play origami boats, and we will definitely find it boring at all. The colorful and colorful fallen leaves of various shapes on the ground by the East Lake are beautiful!

Hearing this, the figure in front of everyone flickered. The four young men had already run to the children, their eyes wide open and whispering: You all have your ears pricked up to hear clearly, it is rude bad boys to contradict the elders. Today, who is no longer disobedient. You're going to have to get beaten up!

The four little girls couldn't help but glance at each other, and then obediently bowed their heads and walked to the innermost room; The four little boys turned to look at the entrance of the cave with tears in their eyes, and still stubbornly muttered: No, we are going to the entrance of the cave to see the fallen leaves. Besides, Grandma Xiaoqing has been gone for a few days and hasn't come back. We'll have to wait for her at the entrance of the cave!

The wind blew slowly, dispersing the muttering of the four little boys into the air inside the cave. The four little girls who had originally walked to the innermost room turned around and walked to them together, looked at the adults, snorted and whispered with tears: Let's go to the entrance of the cave too, watch the fallen leaves with our brothers, and wait for Grandma Xiaoqing to come back!

The children's milky words stimulated people's eyes to moisten quickly. The big guy couldn't help but squat down to hide his face and sob, and the atmosphere inside the cave suddenly became more dull and solemn!

Seeing this, I don't need to bother to remind me. Anyone who insists on watching every episode of this book must be able to guess: this middle-aged woman with her hands on her chest is Yu Xiaolan, who was knocked out by Ye Xiaoqing in one hundred and twenty-eight episodes!

At this moment, Yu Xiaolan was sober and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears that wantonly invaded her cheeks. Strode to the side of the eight children, kissed the eight children in turn, and then said nervously: Children, your grandfather and grandfather committed something and were convicted by the "Dali Temple" in the first instance. Now, Emperor Yongxi will definitely send people around to arrest us and sentence us! Right now, your little young grandmother went to Huayang County, southern Jiangsu to see them off for the last time, and she has not yet returned. Therefore, these are extraordinary times. You must not make trouble!

The four little boys couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the hole again, patted their immature chests and said, "Grandma Xiaolan, we have been carefully holding our breath and not making a sound just now." As soon as we noticed that a tourist was approaching, we would tiptoe back inside. There won't be any accidents at all!

The four little girls whispered to each other for a while, and then they were busy pulling Yu Xiaolan's arm and shaking it coquettishly: Grandma Xiaolan, while watching the falling leaves, you can wait for Grandma Xiaoqing to come back. What's wrong? You, you have fulfilled our wishes!

Next, the eight children were disappointed to see Yu Xiaolan shaking her head and saying: No, I have the obligation and responsibility to protect you from the slightest damage from the outside world. I can't agree to your thoughts!

In this way, the four little boys rolled their eyes angrily and said: Grandma Xiaolan, you can enjoy the picturesque scenery and wait for the return of your loved ones. If Grandma Xiaoqing were here, she would definitely agree to us without hesitation! Grandma Xiaolan, obviously there is nothing dangerous. How cowardly you are so scared!

For a new thing, a sense of "curiosity" will always arise in people's latent consciousness. It will drive human beings to explode into an impulse, desperate to find out the mystery they want to know!

Well, adults can't resist the urge to be "curious" about new things. Those colorful maple leaves of different shapes by the East Lake, and the little green grandmother who has not seen her for a long time and has no news. At this moment, it is like a huge magnet, attracting the childish hearts of these eight children!

The stubbornness of the children stimulated the four young men to raise a palm and wave it at the four little boys. At the same time, their anger was thrown out together: Hmph, you took the lead in confronting the elders today. It's just time to be beaten!

Yu Xiaolan quickly pushed away the four palms, glared at their owners and said in a low voice: Wan Zhong, Wan Xiao, Wan Feng, Wan Hua, the children are inevitably ignorant when they are young. You should join me in understanding them! How can this be handled so emotionally impulsively?

Immediately, she turned to look at the eight children beside her and sobbed and said, "Children, your little young grandmother is bold. I know I'm not as good as her! At the beginning, your little young grandmother knocked me unconscious, and she went to Huayang County, southern Jiangsu alone to see off your grandfather and grandfather for the last time. When I woke up in the early hours of the next morning, my father and mother told me everything she wanted. I made up my mind to come back safely. I must do everything in my power to protect you!

Speaking of this, tears rushed out of Yu Xiaolan's eyes like a "flood that opened the flood". She didn't care about taking out a handkerchief to wipe it, raised her tearful cheeks and said: Children, I also came from childhood. Of course, you can understand your obsession with those maple leaves by the East Lake, and you can also understand how deeply you care about your loved ones at home! However, in order to let your little green grandmother come back and see the heirs of Wanfu unscathed. Today, I really don't dare to agree to your request without permission!

While speaking, she rubbed the immature faces of the eight children in turn and said: Children, these days when your little grandmother is not there. I'm also worried about her safety when she's out alone day and night! However, on the other side of the road is a battlefield full of flames. For the safety of you and your father and mother, the nerves in my whole body are tense and restless every day. It can be said that you dare not relax at any time!

With tears in his eyes, the eight children were embarrassed to raise any more objections. They glanced at each other, then nodded with red cheeks and said, "Grandma Xiaolan, we know that we have all done something wrong today." I'm sorry! Now, don't be sad anymore. You beat us and scold us to relieve our anger!

The milky words slipped out, and the group of little guys threw themselves into Yu Xiaolan's arms as if they had made an appointment. waved their immature little palms together and smashed them on their little faces, and their little mouths didn't dare to be idle: Grandma Xiaolan, don't cry. Grandma Xiaolan, don't cry----

Yu Xiaolan pulled away the small palms waved by the eight children one by one, hugged them and cried silently!
