Text Chapter 498 Missing in a Dream
It's been a month since the last Lantern Festival, and every time Xia Jinghan sees this red lantern, she thinks of the scene of guessing lantern riddles that night, and thinks of the quick-witted little brother, and I don't know if he still remembers me. That day, when I was leaving, Brother Zhuo said to me, "We will meet again." "I don't know, when will this day be?
As soon as Xia Qinghuai stepped into her daughter's room, she saw such a scene: the little girl was bored with her cheeks supporting her cheeks with her hands, and looked at the red lantern next to the dressing mirror for a while.
"Nannan, are you thinking about your Brother Zhuo again?" Xia Qinghuai unconsciously stood by the little girl's side.
"Ah, Daddy! When did you come, it scared the hell out of me. Xia Jinghan saw Xia Qinghuai in the mirror, and she didn't know when she was standing beside her.
"Since you came back from the Lantern Festival, you like to stare at this red lantern from time to time whenever you are free, I think you have no intention of practicing swords!"
"Not really, I'm just, just ......"
"What is it, you can't tell me."
"Oops, not anyway! I won't tell you, I'm going to practice swords. Xia Jinghan picked up the sword on the dressing table and ran out.
A sword wind swept by, and the bamboo forest swayed gently, making a rhythmic sound, like a beautiful musical sound floating in. A light cyan figure is as light as a young bird, as if it is integrated with this bamboo forest. Xia Jinghan's wrist rotated slightly, and the green sword danced slowly, and the sword light flashed. The cyan sword light was drawn in an arc in the air, and the waist fell randomly along the sword light, but at the moment of landing on the ground, she pulled out the water sleeve, wanting to hook the bamboo, and she didn't pay attention, but the person fell to the ground with the water sleeve, making a loud bang, and everyone who watched felt pain for her.
"Shhh Xia Jinghan got up from the ground and rubbed her little buttocks with her hands, fortunately, there was nothing serious, but her clothes were soiled by her, I don't know if my father will blame her.
When Xia Jinghan was stunned, she suddenly seemed to hear something, and looked up to see a carrier pigeon flying over the bamboo forest, and it seemed that the direction of her own small bamboo house should be.
"Could it be that someone is looking for Daddy?" Xia Jinghan secretly thought to herself, after just falling down, she didn't plan to practice swords anymore, and planned to go home to take a look.
Smoke rose over the small bamboo hut at the end of the bamboo forest, and it was thought that my father was already cooking on a fire.
"Daddy, have you received any letters?" Xia Jinghan shouted at Xia Qinghuai before she stepped into the house.
"No, isn't it here? It's a letter from your uncle. Last Lantern Festival was in a hurry, and we didn't leave our specific address, and it was not easy for him to find it. Xia Qinghuai pointed to the letter on the table.
"Uncle Zhuo has sent a letter, does that letter say something?" Xia Jinghan looked at Xia Qinghuai with a pair of big eyes full of curiosity.
"I didn't mention anything specifically, I just said that I would bring Zhuo Yan to visit us in a few days and tell us in advance."
That's really good, I can meet Brother Zhuo, which is really good news for Xia Jinghan. Xia Jinghan couldn't help but frown. Xia Qinghuai looked at the little girl's expression carefully, and smiled without saying a word.
Rising and twilight. In the early morning of this day, with the morning dew and the fragrance of flowers all the way, a carriage leisurely stepped on the sheep intestine trail on Cuiyu Mountain, swaying leisurely, Zhuo Yan took in the scenery of this road. The unknown wildflowers on both sides of the road are fragrant, yellow, red, white, colorful, and beautiful. The green grass is also stained with the morning dew, which is crystal clear and lovable. From Jianyun Mountain Villa to Cuiyu Mountain, this is the first time Zhuo Yan has gone far away, from the waterway to the land, it has been a day and a night.
"Dad, how long will it take us to get there?"
"Don't worry, it's going to be soon."
After a stick of incense, the carriage has come to the end of the trail, and what comes into view is a large green bamboo forest.
"Yan'er, do you see it? After passing through this bamboo forest, you should be there. Zhuo Yun pointed to the bamboo forest in front of him and said.
After the carriage entered the bamboo forest, the scene in front of us suddenly changed, the bamboos seemed to have their own consciousness, and their positions changed, and they were not as they had been seen before we entered. It seems that this bamboo forest should have been set up by your Uncle Xia to form a five-element gossip array, which should be to prevent people with bad intentions from breaking in.
"Daddy, what should we do? You're not very proficient in formation, so aren't we going to be stuck here and can't get out? Zhuo Yan looked at Zhuo Yun anxiously.
"Yan'er, don't worry. A few days ago I wrote to Uncle Xia, telling him that we would be visiting in the next few days, and that if he knew that we were trapped here, he would come back and get us out. ”
Xia Jinghan on the other side of the bamboo forest had already noticed it the moment Zhuo Yun and his party entered the bamboo forest, and now they were rushing towards their location, and in a moment, they came to the front of the carriage.
"Brother Zhuo, is it you and Uncle Zhuo?" Xia Jinghan asked into the carriage.
"Sister Xia, it's me, Zhuo Yan. My dad and I didn't know the subtleties of this bamboo forest, and we were trapped soon after we entered, but luckily you came in time, otherwise I don't know how long we would have been trapped. Zhuo Yan lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
"My father and I knew you were coming a few days ago, so we paid special attention to the movement of the bamboo forest these days, so we were able to rush over so quickly. Don't say more, let's go, my dad is still waiting for us at home. ”
"Jinghan is right, Yan'er, let's go quickly!" Saying that, Zhuo Yun also stepped down from the carriage.
So, Xia Jinghan led Zhuo Yun and his party to the direction of the bamboo house, and under the guidance of the next elite, these bamboos were divided and honest, and after a while, they walked through the bamboo forest and came to the small bamboo house. And Xia Qinghuai was already waiting outside the house.
"Brother Zhuo, it's been a long journey, it's been hard! Come, come with me into the house and rest. Stuff or something, let Jinghan press it! ”
"Then what's so embarrassing, let's let Yan'er and Jinghan be together!"
"It's okay, then let the two juniors clean it up, the children should exercise more, not to mention it's not a difficult thing."
At this time, Xia Qinghuai and Zhuo Yun entered the house, and Xia Jinghan and Zhuo Yun were packing up their things.
I saw that the two villains unhurriedly took down the clothes, gold and silver and other light items from the carriage and put them in the guest room that Xia Qinghuai had prepared for Zhuo Yun and them in advance. However, when they returned to the carriage and saw the remaining two jars of wine, they were a little weeping and did not know what to do.
Although Xia Jinghan herself has martial arts, she has small arms and legs, even if she has martial arts, she can't match her young age, and she definitely can't move. Look at Zhuo Yan again, although he is three years older than Xia Jinghan and a boy, his figure is long and thin, and he feels that he has no strength, so he should not be much better than Xia Jinghan.
The two villains stared at each other, staring at each other with big eyes. Suddenly, Zhuo Yan took the lead in making a move, only to see him swaying and picking up a jar of wine, settling his body, and cautiously walking towards the carriage door.
Xia Jinghan saw Zhuo Yan's appearance, and said anxiously behind him: "Brother Zhuo, you can't look like this, it's easy to get hurt, let's put down the wine first!" You wait, I'll go find my dad! Saying that, Xia Jinghan brushed the gap around Zhuo Yan and got out of the carriage.
"Hey, Sister Xia, slow down! Don't worry, I'm fine! Zhuo Yan shouted at Xia Jinghan's back. Originally, I wanted to behave in front of Sister Xia, but it's good now...... This little jar of wine doesn't look heavy, why am I holding it so hard! It seems that I am still not suitable for this kind of manual work. Thinking of his performance just now and what Xia Jinghan told him, Zhuo Yan obediently put down the wine.
When Xia Jinghan hurriedly ran into the house, she saw the picture of Xia Qinghuai and Zhuo Yun chatting happily. Xia Qinghuai saw Xia Jinghan's hurried steps, and just as he wanted to ask what happened, he heard Xia Jinghan say, "Dad, go and help Brother Zhuo!" There were two jars of wine on the carriage, and Brother Zhuo couldn't move it alone. At this time, Xia Jinghan was already a little calm, and her tone was not as anxious as just now.
"Uncle Xia, Dad! There's nothing going on now, but I'm still going to have to bother you to make a trip, and I'm having a hard time carrying the wine. Zhuo Yan also came in after Xia Jinghan entered the house, anyway, he couldn't move the two jars of wine, so it was better to come into the house and rest.
"Ha, look at my memory, Cuinong knows that you like to drink, and on the eve of leaving, I specially took out two jars of Du Kang wine from the wine cellar of the mountain villa, and asked me to bring it to you, but I forgot it in the carriage for a while. Brother Xia, come with me to take a look! Zhuo Yun led Xia Qinghuai to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and a fragrant and mellow aroma of wine came to his nose.
"It's really a good wine, I haven't seen the wine, but I smell the wine first. I think this wine is a few years old! It's really embarrassing for my sister-in-law to remember that I like to drink, and I have a heart. Xia Qinghuai was carrying a jar of wine in both hands, and the wine that was very heavy in Zhuo Yun's hands was as light as cotton in his hands.
"Well, that's a shame. It's just two jars of wine, if you like to go to my Zhuangzi one day, I'll drink enough with you. To tell you the truth, I really have something important to discuss with you this time, so let's go into the house and talk about it! ”
Seeing Xia Qinghuai put the wine on the table, Zhuo Yun opened his mouth and said, "Brother Xia, I have a reluctant request, I want Xiao'er to worship you as a teacher, I wonder if you can agree?" Yan'er was a little weak when she was small, and I originally had the intention of finding him a master to let him practice martial arts, but his mother was reluctant to Yan'er to endure hardships, so it was delayed. It wasn't until I accidentally met you at the Lantern Festival one month that I had this idea again. Yan'er is already so old, he has missed the best age to practice martial arts, I don't want him to learn any strong martial arts, I just want to be able to protect himself. ”
