Chapter 258: I'll Accompany You
"It's not something you can stop him from finding me, it's an inevitable result, sooner or later, it doesn't make a difference. But it's not entirely without benefits. My second sister's affairs are thanks to Zhou Mingyuan. Otherwise, how could the Peng family agree to this family business? Cherry lowered her head and picked her fingers: "When I was in the palace, I was also very taken care of." So, to put it into detail, it's always been me who doesn't live with him. ”
Zhou Muze's eyebrows raised slightly, the expression on his face changed slightly, and then returned to normal, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry." I'm still in everything. As he spoke, he got up from the coarse cloth and pounced on his body: "It's coming, I don't think you want to go back so soon for a while." Why don't I walk with you? At this time, in the mountains and forests, wild fruits and wild things are the most abundant. ”
"How do you know?" Cherry bent her eyes: "I just don't want to go back." As he spoke, he also got up and began to clean up the coarse cloth. The mountains and forests are dangerous, and it is not safe for her to go in alone, and she doesn't want to go home, so she can only lie here for a while. Now that Zhou Muze said this, of course she was happy.
This person seemed to be able to read through her thoughts.
Pack up the coarse cloth, put it back in the bamboo basket, and then throw the basket on your back, stepping on the thick accumulated leaves and walking forward, with an indescribable ease in your heart. Cherry closed her eyes and took a deep breath and looked back at Zhou Muze.
He was looking at her straight, the sunlight casting dappled shadows on his face through the layers of leaves, and a pair of eyes that had been dull and gray were glittered by the sunlight. The body is slender and down, with unyielding stubbornness and strength.
At this moment, it was quiet and peaceful, and there was nothing around but the sound of birds. Don't worry about anything, don't worry about anything, completely quiet, looking at her like this from the other side.
At this moment, Cherry felt as if her heartstrings were gently tugging, making a 'zheng' crunching sound.
"Why don't you go?" Cherry smiled.
"It's nothing ......" Zhou Muze didn't know what he was thinking, as if he had just come back to his senses, grinned, and followed with steps.
"Why, you're here on your own" Cherry looked around again, making sure there wasn't a third person here. At such a time, it is too risky for him to act alone.
"Yes. I'm afraid that too many people will attract attention. Zhou Mingyuan...... After all, he is not as good as Zhou Mingyu, and his scheming and strategy require us to be careful. Zhou Muze walked to the position side by side with the cherry, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes were a little burning: "I don't dare to take risks." ”
"You're on an adventure now!"
"I can't call you to take risks." Zhou Muze emphasized emphatically.
Cherry dumb. Zhou Muze's burning gaze made her face a little red, and her heart was beating a little fast. The tips of his fingers couldn't help but clench, and he secretly scolded in his heart, what was wrong with him, how could he be so raw, in front of this young man, there was a shy, throbbing feeling? She, she...... She is a human being in two lives, and she is almost half a hundred monsters combined.
"Let's go." Zhou Muze stretched out his hand, so natural, so logical, gently held Cherry's hand and pulled her forward.
It was not the first time that Cherry had touched Zhou Muze's hand, his hand had always been cold, but this time it was ...... Some are ...... warm It seems to be a little drenched in sweat.
Her heart was pounding, and Cherry blinked, letting him lead her forward. The warmth from her hands burned her whole body, and her heart beat faster and faster, inexplicably giving birth to an unpredictable feeling that was both shy and happy.
"Be careful." Zhou Muze gently stepped over an old tree trunk across the road and held cherries in his hand.
His hands were a little sweaty and a little slippery. Cherry stepped over the trunk of the tree and pulled her hand back.
Zhou Muze was also a little unnatural, rubbing his hands quietly, and there were a few obvious traces of blush floating on his face that had been hanging slightly.
"Look, isn't it...... Is this a fig? The two walked for a while, and Zhou Muze took the lead in breaking the silence and pointed to the sparse place in front of him: "Look, that's a fig tree, right?" Is that a fake cotton peach wrapped around the tree? ”
"Yes!!" Cherry clapped her hands lightly: "How do you recognize Fig Village and Fake Cotton Peach?" "Neither of these things is common, especially the false cotton peach, which is a weed of the vine family that bears an olive-shaped fruit, which, when first formed, peels off the outer skin, and the milky cotton-like stuff inside is edible with a slightly sweet taste. Although it is delicious, it is eaten only by peasant children who have no fruit to eat, no matter how poor Zhou Muze is, he has always lived in Li Zhifu's house, how can he know this......
"What do I not recognize?" Zhou Muze smiled slightly, his expression was indifferent, as if he was saying something that could not be lighter: "When I was young, I didn't have a mother at that time, and I hadn't arrived at the Li Mansion yet, and I had to deal with the crowding and suppression of the princess and her children alone in the palace, and it was common for me to be hungry. At that time, the back garden of the palace was not as neat as it is now, and there was a wasteland that had not been tidied up, so I often went in to find some wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy my hunger. ”
"It was ......" Cherry felt a little more pity in her heart, and gently took his hand: "At this time, I am afraid that the fake cotton peach can no longer be eaten." Figs, though, are at their sweetest. This time, we'll leave when we've had enough. Pick more when you go, and ask my sisters to taste them. ”
Zhou Muze looked at his hand in slight surprise, then at the cherry, with a smile on his face, and let the cherry pull him and walk briskly in the direction of the fig tree. Quietly, the face crept up again.
When I got closer, I noticed that the fig tree had grown a little taller. It was covered with fake cotton peaches, and there was tall grass around it, so it was impossible to get past people. Even if it passes, it will not reach the fruit on it.
"You're waiting here." Zhou Muze stretched out his hand to climb a branch above his head, and he went up the tree lightly, climbed to the branch in a few clicks, and then jumped lightly to the fig tree.
The fig tree trembled slightly, and there was a 'crackling' sound, and all the ripe and rotten figs fell and fell to the ground, attracting many small insects.
"Give me the basket."
"Oh." The cherry picked the bamboo basket and threw it to Zhou Muze.
The fruit is ripe and uneaten. Zhou Muze picked up the ripe ones that were just right, the big ones, and picked them up neatly. In a short time the basket was full, and he jumped down.
"What's wrong with you?" Cherry looked at the basket: "How can this be enough to eat, what is enough?" In addition to the sisters, she also wants to give a little to the two sisters-in-law of the uncle's family, as well as the dolls of the eldest sister-in-law's family, and the children love to eat this. Especially in late autumn, even if it is a half-ripe fruit, eating one is as sweet as honey.
"What are you anxious about?" Zhou Muze was not in a hurry, shook off the coarse cloth, laid it on the spot, and sat down with the basket: "It's not too late for us to finish eating first and then pick it up." lest you pick too much, and the bottom is crushed in vain. ”
"That's right." Cherry rubbed his hands, sat down with him, reached out and picked one up, pinched it open, the honey-like color inside, revealing a fragrant, sweet and sweet taste. Take a bite and the honey is sweet and sweet.
"Look." Zhou Muze stretched out his hand and gently scraped the side of the cherry's mouth: "It's all eaten on the face." ”
"What about me, aren't you?" Cherry smirked evilly and poked half of the pinched fruit in his face. A handsome face became a cat face.
"Hahahaha......" Cherry laughed heartily, happy and relaxed for a long time.
"How dare you tease me!" Zhou Muze stretched out his hand to get the things off his face, with a light smile on his face, and took out a handkerchief to wipe it unhurriedly: "Eat quickly, I won't retaliate against you." Such a good fruit, what a waste it is to get on the face!! ”
In this way, the two of them laughed softly while eating, and unconsciously ate the small half basket of figs.
After eating, Zhou Muze went up the tree again, this time he picked a basket full of cherries, and there were some cherries in the hem of his clothes, and the two of them picked up all the almost ripe fruits on the whole tree.
The cherries were sent all the way out of the mountains to the top of the hillside.
"I can't send you down." Zhou Muze took off the bamboo basket on his back: "You...... Be careful. ”
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Cherry took the bamboo basket and struggled to carry it. A basket full of figs is really heavy enough. It is estimated that the bottom layer is already pressed and rotten and cannot be eaten. She pulled a smile at Zhou Muze: "Besides, don't I still have night hemp on my body?" ”
Zhou Muze nodded: "If necessary, don't take care of it, as long as it can save you." ”
"I'll give you back what I did all the time." Cherry laughed again: "Don't worry." ”
"I told you I would help you with this. I will act tonight, and if I don't believe it, I can't force Zhou Mingyuan to return home. The expression on Zhou Muze's face was understated: "You don't show any flaws in the past few days." ”
"Hmm." Cherry nodded and waved, "Then I'll go." ”
"Slow down" Zhou Muze stood at the top of the slope and looked at the cherry and walked down the slope for three or five steps, and called out to her: "Sakura...... Cherry. ”
"Huh?" Cherry heads up.
"You ......" Zhou Muze looked a little embarrassed, awkward: "That, you should have guessed the purpose of Zhou Mingyuan's trip." Although he is a righteous gentleman on the face, he will not mess around, and he will not mess around. But if you can't keep it, what will you do if you're in a hurry. You...... Be careful, be ...... Stay away from him. ”
Cherry chuckled, "Got it!" "What else is she supposed to do? Wave your hand again, and continue to walk forward without hesitation.
When he walked to the foot of the mountain, when he looked up again, Zhou Muze's figure was gone.
Cherry slightly, can't help but show a light smile, looking at the wild trees on the top of the slope, worried about the heavy basket on his back, there is a feeling of sweetness and happiness in his heart.
"What are you looking at? Laughing so sweetly? Suddenly, a voice came, clear and powerful.
