I handed the mutton soup with salt and steamed buns to Xuan Ye and said, "Okay, you can eat it", I finished eating a bowl of mutton steamed buns, my body was much warmer, I saw that Xuan Ye was still eating with relish, he finished eating a bowl and I said, "Do you want more?" I'll serve it to you", he said, "Well, another bowl", I took the bowl and gave him a bowl and said, "Do you still put the buns?" He said: "Put a little less", I added salt and soaked half a bun into it, I handed the mutton steamed bun to him, he took it and said: "How do you make this mutton soup?" It's so delicious", I smiled: "You probably eat too much delicacies from the mountains and seas to think this mutton steamed bun is delicious", in fact, I didn't put anything in it, because we didn't bring any spices for cooking meat, I just boiled it and only added some ginger to it to taste.

Xiaolan told Mingzhu and Dongting how I ate mutton soup and steamed buns, and after they had eaten, Xuan Ye said to them: "There is nothing to do today, you can all go around on this grassland", Xiaolan went to wash the dishes, Da Chun and Li Xu picked up firewood, Xuan Ye pulled me and said: "Follow me", he pulled me to the place where the horses were tethered, these horses were all good horses selected from the courtyard, the horses were fat and strong, full of energy, and the spirit was high, among which Xuan Ye's mount was a first-class Mongolian horse by its outstanding, Hearing Dongting say that Xuan Ye also had a sweat and blood purebred horse, he didn't ride it out because it was too eye-catching, so he asked me, "Which one do you ride?" I wondered where this was going. I also want to ride a horse, I said weakly: "That, that I can't ride a horse", he seemed to be surprised, paused and said: "Then you and I can ride a horse!" I'll take you around this grassland", I was suddenly very conflicted, and I didn't want to ride a horse with him, and I wanted to look around the grassland, and finally curiosity won, I said, "Well, okay".

He helped me on the horse first, and when I sat down at the tail of the horse, he untied the horse's rope and flew on the horse, he circled me into his arms and whispered: "Sit firmly", and then drove the horse forward, although I don't know how to ride a horse, but I have sat on Rongruo's horse before, so sitting on the back of the horse is not very nervous, the horse first trotted and then slowly increased the speed and galloped up after a while, the wind on the grassland was a little cold, because the horse was too fast, the wind blew on the face was painful, I grabbed the cloak and lay down on the horse's back, Xuan Ye held the rope and pulled it gently, The speed of the horse's gallop slowed down, and Xuan Ye asked with concern, "What's wrong?" I said, "It's too fast, it's okay to slow down", Xuan Ye said: "Okay", and then he slowed down again, this time I felt much better, and it wasn't so cold, I straightened up and began to admire this beautiful grassland.

At this time, the grassland is colorful, some of the grass has dried up and yellowed, some are very green, there are yellow and red wildflowers interspersed with it, there are butterflies flying around among the wildflowers, a lot of grass has set seeds and lowered their heads, from time to time you can also see antelopes and rabbits running by, we are riding horses very slowly, like a walk, there is a high slope in front, I said: "Let's go down and walk!" Xuan Ye said: "Okay", said he stopped the horse and got off the horse first, and then helped me down, he loosened the horse rope and let the horse go to graze, we hiked up the high slope, I picked a handful of unknown wildflowers in my hand, the wildflowers exuded a faint fragrance, we stopped at the top of the slope, I said: "Let's sit here for a while!" He said, "Well, okay," I took off my cloak and sat down on the grass, and he also learned from me to untie my cloak and lay it on the grass and sit down.

The sun feels warm on my body, the sky is so blue, the clouds are so white, I lowered my head and fiddled with the wild flowers in my hands, lest he see my nervousness and uneasiness, I can't help but regret riding out with him, after last night's events I don't know how to be alone with him, he seems to know my inner thoughts, he said: "I was a little out of control last night, you can rest assured, I promised you that I will not break my promise, I will wait for you", I don't know what to say but said: "Thank you".

He lay on the cloak and closed his eyes and said: "The first time I saw you, you were lying on the ground like this, well, it was very comfortable to lie like this", he laughed softly: "At that time, you still regarded me as a disciple", I secretly said in my heart, "Who made you so rude at that time, it's strange not to treat you as a disciple", I also lay down, he said: "I didn't sleep well last night, I was used as a pillow and slept all night, and now I'm very sleepy, I want to make up for a while, you help me watch those little insects don't let them climb on me", Regardless of whether I agreed or not, I still fell asleep with my eyes closed, so I had to sit up and help him watch, after all, the person he said was the one who used him as a pillow, wasn't it?

He closed his eyes, his breathing was also very steady, probably really asleep, although the sun was warm, but it must have been autumn or some cool, and the temperature of the body after falling asleep would drop, I was afraid that he would catch a cold, so I got up and picked up my cloak from the ground and covered him on his body, I sat on his side, there were really small insects crawling on the grass, I was bored and folded a piece of grass to tease these small insects, except for the spider I knew other insects, I didn't know anything, After teasing for a while, I lost interest and lost the grass in my hand, looked at the sleeping Xuan Ye, and thought that he was really sleeping soundly, and the horses were leisurely grazing not far away, at this time, I would never have thought that the scene at this moment would make me miss it for the rest of my life.

I chased away a few insects that wanted to climb up the cloak, and I pushed them away a few times in a row, and these insects probably lost confidence, turned around and crawled away, I held my face and looked into the distance in a daze, and I was lazy in the sun and dozed off unconsciously, "Qingqiu, Qingqiu, it's time to get up, you see what time it is, I'm going to be late for work", my mother screamed at my ear, but why didn't my ear hurt at all? I suddenly lowered my head and woke up, it turned out to be a dream, I stared into the distance blankly, Mom, are you okay? My daughter misses you so much!

I turned around and looked at Xuan Ye that he hadn't woken up yet, I checked around him to make sure there were no insects, I took out the pocket watch I carried with me and looked at the time, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, I wanted to wake up Xuan Ye but I saw him sleeping so soundly, I finally couldn't bear to call him, forget it, let him sleep for a while!
