The winter in Xiqi is also snowy, but when there is a slight snow, the trees in the mountains are silver-white.

But this is different in the middle of the continent snow mountain, the foot of the mountain is all verdant green forest, from the mountainside began to accumulate snow, a winter and a summer converge in the same body, as if the pen of God, not immersive, can not know its majestic vastness.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain." Xuanyuan Chen took my hand and strode towards the mountainside.

In the middle of summer in July, it should be unusually hot, but it is unusually cool.

Light sun and light clouds, breezy breezes, green grass and wild flowers, old trees and light butterflies......

Walking in the mountains, taking a big breath, the faint fragrance of grass poured into the heart, and I felt that the whole person was washed here, which was very comfortable.

Going forward for nearly an hour, slowly, the small flowers and plants under the feet became fewer, and after going forward for half an hour, there was a clear space in front of me, and then going forward, the ground began to have light snow, and this was halfway up the mountainside.

Xuanyuan Chen took out a hooded cloak with sable brocade from the chain, and with a stretch of his long hand, he put the cloak on me.

"Is it cold or not?" He kissed me on the forehead, then carefully buttoned up my beautiful fur hat, fastened the strap, and took my hand in his hand.

His warmth came in his hands, and he was warm.

I smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's not too cold." ”

"But tired?"

Actually, I'm a little tired, I've been sleeping late late, I've been tired from the car, and I always feel tired.

It's also strange to say, in the past, I rode a horse and galloped to the border pass, and I also slept in the wind, food, and camping, and the hardboard tent on the frontier was also a month and a half of a month, but I didn't see how.

Tonight there is a soft couch, and when I wake up in the morning and eat breakfast, I am very tired, which is really strange.

However, I was too embarrassed to say, so I shook my head and said, "It's okay." ”

Xuanyuan Chen shook his head and smiled, and glanced up, "We've already finished walking the little halfway, and we'll be there in more than an hour." ”

"Hmm." I answered.

He unfurled his long cloak, took me in his arms, and smiled, "It's getting dark, and since you're not tired, we'll have to hurry." ”

After that, without waiting for me to reply, he put his arms around me, took a little step, took me up with a light skill, took two steps in the air, and fell outside the zhangxu.

"Little girl, if you are tired, close your eyes and rest for a while." He tightened his cloak a little, and after a few more steps, he had already walked a hundred meters.

My heart was sweet, and the snow in the mountains didn't seem to be so cold, so I reached out and grabbed his waist so that he could lose some weight, and closed my eyes as I said.

I thought that after a short rest, I let him put me down, and when I was riding up the mountain with him, who knew that I would fall asleep in a daze by his shoulder.

When I woke up again, I was sitting on the rough branch of an old tree.

"Wake up." He smiled sideways.

As the sun sets, the soft warm light comes in through the cracks in the trees.

Sprinkled on Xuanyuan Chen's side face, the faint stubble on his chin was as thin as the fluff of a civet cat.

"Hmm." My heart softened, and I answered, and I didn't take my head off his shoulder, but leaned on it.

The terrain here is higher, there is no snow around, and there are many unknown flowers and plants around, red and pink, green and blue, colorful, and very beautiful.

I looked around, pointed to a small flower in the distance and asked, "Is that a green lotus?" ”

I heard Ji Yun often say that there is a kind of green flower in the snow-capped mountains, soaked in water, very refreshing, this is only the cluster of flowers is green, it should be, right?

Brother Chen smiled and pulled my hand back, "No, it's an ordinary wildflower, and the green lotus grass is on the other side." ”

I pointed to the strange flower in another place, "What is that, a medicinal herb?" ”

Xuanyuan Chen said in the past that there are many precious medicinal materials here, but all the rare treasures are very strange, I haven't seen that thing, it may be a flower of rare medicinal herbs.

Xuanyuan Chen smiled again, "No, it's also a wildflower, I have had it since I was a child, and I have tried it, but it is not a medicinal herb." ”

I nodded, and was about to ask about a black ink-like mushroom bag on the tree next to me, Xuanyuan Chen shook his head and smiled, grabbed my hand, hugged my shoulder and said, "I see you very quiet on weekdays, I want you to accompany me to watch the sunset for a while, why are you so dishonest." ”

As soon as he said it, I realized that just to the right of us, a round of golden red sun had already set half of it, and the sky was full of soft light and brilliance, and the beauty was thrilling.

The sunset, however, is beautiful, but ......

"Gollum ......"

There was a strange noise between the two of us, I didn't eat much in the morning, and I had less energy when I went up the mountain, and I was hungry......

Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, "Okay, let's go eat." ”

Grabbing my waist and jumping, the two of us jumped off the fork of the tree.

After a few jumps to a strange grass, he lowered me and dragged me through the grass from side to side, and then came to a small wooden pavilion.

"Let's go." Smiling slightly, he led me to the wooden door, and with a gentle push, the wooden door "creaked" ...... opened.

I swept left and right, although the wooden pavilion was small, there were tables, chairs and benches, and there were more than a dozen paintings carved from wood on the walls, and the name of Xuanyuan Chen was actually the name.

I was interested, so I walked close to the carving and took a closer look.

These carvings are very exquisite, there are pavilions, there are landscapes, and the last one is actually a picture of the market market, adults and children, the old and the young, or idle, or busy, and the stroke is extraordinarily vivid.

I laughed, "You can even carve." ”

He was holding something from the box behind the door, heard me talking, looked up and said with a smile, "Well, when I was a child, I saw the exquisite carvings of the murals in the palace, and I thought it was very simple, so I pestered the Taifu to get tools, but carving this thing, looking simple, is an extreme test of patience, a slight mistake, the whole painting will be changed and the artistic conception."

In my spare time, I carved and painted for three years before I could carve a few finished paintings. ”

Three-year ......

It's okay to paint on paper, but if you carve and draw on a piece of wood, you have to be patient and not be distracted, let alone three years, even three months.

Back then, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I didn't want to see the female red who practiced her temperament.

Because of this, I was "taught" by my mother a lot, but the teachings are teachings, whether it should be or not, I still don't.

After looking at it for a while, I saw a carved painting with the back of a woman, wearing a broad shirt, combing two long braids, and a multicolored wreath on her head, sitting in a sea of paintings, indescribably demure.

Who is this woman?

I had the heart to ask, and after thinking about it, I didn't speak, but I muttered in my heart.

Won't it be a childhood sweetheart......

Xuanyuan Chen seemed to see something, hugged me from behind, and kissed me on the cheek.

"You little girl, what are you thinking. This one was not carved by me, but by the emperor's brother. Do you remember some of the things I told you? The back in this painting is the woman. ”

Oh...... It turned out to be her.

Only then did I realize that all the wooden paintings were named, but this one was not, which was really careless......

Xuanyuan Chen smiled and kissed me again, "Aren't you hungry, let's go, I'll get you something to eat." ”

He picked up the cloth bag on the table, took me by the hand and walked out.

All the way out of the strange grass, turned left to a low forest, he took out a small basket from the cloth bag, squatted under the tree on the left, and pulled the trunk on the right, and soon picked a lot of white and fat little mushrooms.

After a few steps forward, he made a boo gesture to me, handed me the mushroom basket, motioned for me to stay put, and then tiptoed forward a few steps, jumping violently, and in a short time he caught a big, fat pheasant.

"Let's go, I'll make you soup." He kissed me happily, carrying the fluttering chicken wings and cloth bag in one hand and pulling me in the other, and soon came to a small stream.

Collect firewood to light a bonfire, take out an iron pot from the cloth bag, hold the water and drive, go to clean up the pheasant, put the mushrooms and so on together, add firewood to the fire, and after a while, there is a faint fragrance coming out.

I clutched my gurgling stomach and swallowed, "Okay, okay?" ”

He opened the lid, poked the meat with his chopsticks, and nodded, "It's okay right away, I'm putting up with it." ”

After waiting for a while, he took out a few coarse porcelain bowls from the cloth bag, took out a paper bag from his sleeve, and sprinkled the condiments into the pot, and suddenly, a strange fragrance came out.

Using a wooden spoon to separate the meat inside, he brought a large bowl of mushroom soup with shredded meat.

I took a sip after blowing warm......

It's fresh and fragrant, it's even more delicious than the world!

Appetite was great, I quickly drank up a bowl, Xuanyuan Chen smiled, and gave me some more.

After a few sips, I felt a little strange when I looked at the shredded meat that had been boiled in the bowl.

Although I don't know how to cook, when I was a child, my mother always cooked soup for my father, and I had to squat and simmer for a few hours before the meat would stew.

Xuanyuan Chen gave me some small mushrooms with a spoon and explained, "This mountain crevice is full of precious medicinal herbs, this pheasant feeds on medicinal herbs all year round, and has become a medicinal herb. ”

I see.

After eating this bowl of soup and meat, my stomach is already round, but I still can't get enough.

Xuanyuan Chen laughed, "There are a lot of delicious foods in this mountain crevice, all of which you haven't eaten." Tomorrow I will cook them for you one by one, by the way, you like to eat fish, there is a kind of small fish in this stream, there is only one thorn around the body, the taste of roasting is quite good, tomorrow morning I will catch you and roast. ”

I quickly nodded again, eager to digest the broth so that I could eat the grilled fish on my stomach.

It was evening, and a shallow moon was hanging high.

I had eaten too much, so I wanted to eat it, so Xuanyuan Chen collected my things, put out the bonfire, and grabbed me to jump up and cross the stream to a peach forest.

In July, it is the height of summer, and the peach blossoms outside have long withered, but the peach blossoms are blooming just right.

Pink, white, large, small......

Clusters, clusters of petals hugging the branches, like the sea in a continuous piece, and the mountain wind blows, many blooming petals fly with the wind, in the air roll and fly and fall, smell lightly, full of light fragrance.

"Little girl, let's go in." Xuanyuan Chen took my hand.

I answered, interlocked my fingers with my backhand, stepped on the moonlight, and walked into the peach forest.

The branches of the flowers sway, and the petals fly.

Walking in the peach blossom forest, from time to time there are petals falling in the hair, and sliding over the shoulders, as if the spring rain moistens the earth, and the heart is much softer.

This sea of flowers is very long, and it slowly moves forward for half an hour, and it seems that it has only gone straight to the heart.

My round stomach seems to have digested a lot, perhaps because of the effect of the soup, I feel refreshed, and my exhaustion is swept away.

Xuanyuan Chen bent his lips and smiled, led me to walk for a while, stopped under a very high peach tree, raised his head to look at the fork, and let the flowers rain down with the wind.

"What are you thinking?" I tilted my head slightly, and where I looked, there was a fork of the tree, which was a peach blossom.

"I'm thinking about a, very deep questions."

Very deep?

I was surprised, but Xuanyuan Chen smiled evilly, a peach blossom flew down, and a pink reflected in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.

The next moment, he rubbed it, picked up the sable cloak of the two of us, quickly spread it on the ground, hugged me and put me on it, leaned over and kissed it, and his hands began to be dishonest.

"Hmm, you're a hooligan......" The contrast is so great that I blurted out.

He smiled, "Such a beautiful day, not a hooligan, how can you have a daughter ......?"

"But, this is ...... outside"

"It's okay, it's just the two of us here."

"But ......"

"If you are resisting, it will be dawn."

"Hmm......" I wanted to say more, but my lips were gagged.

Peach petals fly, peach blossoms rain.

The first moon hangs high.

In the burst of floral fragrance, it is Xuanyuan Chen's bone-chilling gentleness......

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I responded enthusiastically......
