The Top of the Qinling Mountains (Part I)
In the early winter morning, the sun dappled on the dilapidated thatched hut. The hijab on the roof has long been blown away by the wind, but the old pine trees that support the eaves are still standing upright. The rice paper pasted on the window lattice is no longer visible. Only a few criss-crossed rafters remained. It looks like it's been a long time since anyone lived there.
The wisteria roses that still bloom on the bamboo fence wall outside the courtyard are in full bloom in the early morning sun, and the light purple petals are bathed in the fiery red sunlight, and seem to have turned into a bewitching purple floating on the branches of the green basket. The purple sea is fragrant, dazzling.
This is an abandoned mountain hut, and the people who lived in it in the past must have been quite particular. Outside, there are dozens of stout Qi Nan trees, and the sun shines through the dappled branches.
The house looks like a thatched house, but the interior is well arranged. There is also a curtain of apricot-colored flowers in the inner room, which divides the whole room into two floors. Ordinary people would never arrange it like this.
Yun Fei walked to the window, opened the dilapidated window, and suddenly opened up in front of him. Take in the beauty of this place.
Suddenly hearing a sound in the room, Yun Fei's eyebrows bent, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Turned around and lifted the curtain and walked in.
Inside the house, Situ Yue was dressing, and the green silk like a waterfall was scattered behind him. There was a hint of mist in his eyes. His hands and feet were a little disobedient. The strap on the placket was not fastened several times.
"Woke up, did you sleep well?" Yun Fei stepped forward, pulled the belt of his clothes away, and retied it.
"The bed was too hard and it was uncomfortable to sleep in. But it's also better than being in a carriage. Situ Yue muttered, a little aggrieved in his tone. But there is not much resentment in my heart.
After all, in this wilderness, it is better to have a place to live than to sleep in a carriage.
After the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival, Yun Fei took Situ Yue back to Shimen. Stopping and stopping along the way, it is also pleasant to enjoy the mountains and rivers. The only bad thing is that I often delay my journey because of the greed for beautiful scenery. They can only stay in the wilderness.
"Bear with me, we hurry up today and we will be able to go up the mountain in the evening. Then have a good rest. Yun Fei comforted. Help the dazed Situ Yue get dressed. Yun Fei began to pack his things. Ready to hit the road.
Situ Yue took care of himself and helped carry things onto the carriage. When I came out, I thought that the light car would be there soon. I didn't expect the scenery to be charming all the way, and before I knew it, it became a sightseeing tour. A lot of stuff is prepared on the way.
At first, Situ Yue was not used to eating dry food, so Yun Fei bought a pot and cooked porridge on the way to drink. Later, because of the greed for the beautiful scenery, they couldn't get to the post station in time, and the two of them spent the night in the woods. Summer is coming, there are more mosquitoes, and Situ Yue's whole body is full of pimples when he is bitten. There was no way to prepare mosquito nets and other items for overnight stays. So there's a lot of stuff going on. So the two simply bought a carriage. Take your time. More than half a year has passed.
Yesterday, I heard that there is a waterfall nearby, which towers into the sky and is extremely spectacular. The two of them went. As a result, the distance was much farther than the two expected, and they naturally failed to rush back to the city. Fortunately, this abandoned thatched hut was found nearby, and the two-person carriage was also fully carried. I spent the night here.
The sun had just risen, and the air was still slightly cold, and the vines outside the house were still shining with dew. The two packed their bags and prepared to go.
Yun Fei handed the remaining steamed buns and jerky to Situ Yue. "I'll make do with it today, and I'll prepare something for you tomorrow, and make up for it!" These days, those who sleep in the open have lost weight. ”
Situ Yue took the dry food, opened it and looked at it. I took a steamed bun and wrapped the rest again.
Seeing this, Yun Fei understood that he was disgusted with eating greasy meat in the morning. I suddenly felt a little guilty.
He handed over the kettle in his hand. The water in the pot is still warm. This is the hot water that Yun Fei boiled when Situ Yue was still asleep.
Situ Yue took it and took a sip. Shaking his head, he said, "It's okay, I can eat steamed buns." It's just that this jerky is too hard and I don't like it. Tooth soreness in the bite. ”
"Okay, then don't eat it!" After putting everything away, Yun Fei sat on the edge of the car and turned around. "Sit down, let's go!"
Situ Yue nodded, leaned against the window edge of the carriage, and watched the scenery slide by. Slowly gnaw on the steamed bun in your hand.
In the long journey, there are times when you reach the end. After a long day's work of traveling, I finally arrived at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
"Ah Yue, we're here." Yun Fei jumped out of the carriage. Looking deeply at the Qinling Mountains in front of him. It's been more than a year since I left, but I feel very cordial to see him at the moment.
Situ Yue lifted the curtain and looked at the clouds in the past, the Qinling Mountains in the twilight, the verdant and thick green were shrouded in the setting sun. The perennial mist on the top of the mountain is like a light silk, wrapped in wisps.
"Come!" Yun Fei turned around and stretched out his hand. In Situ Yue's eyes, his whole person was covered with glow. It looks like an immortal who has become an immortal. I couldn't help but panic. Hurriedly put his hand up and held it tightly.
After getting out of the carriage, Yun Fei released a firework from his arms. The fireworks flew into the air and exploded in a pale green color.
"What is this?" Situ Yue looked at Yun Fei suspiciously.
"This is Truman's sound fireworks. Let's go up the hill first, and someone will pick up these things later. Yun Fei explained.
Situ Yue nodded, not speaking.
Yun Fei hugged Situ Yue, and as soon as he got lucky, the two of them flew out dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
This Qinling is not high, and it is not low. But if you walk on two legs, you have to walk for a day and a night.
In addition, the top of the mountain is full of institutions, and it is impossible to go up without someone familiar with it.
All the way to the hurry, the breeze whistling in my ears.
Suddenly, Situ Yue seemed to hear something, and kept looking around.
Yun Fei soon noticed the movement of the person in his arms. "What's wrong?"
Situ Yue frowned. He hesitated and said, "I seem to hear a baby's voice."
Yun Fei smiled and shook his head. "You heard me wrong, we're already on the mountainside. It's not easy for ordinary people to come up, how can there be babies? ”
Although Situ Yue had doubts in his heart, he did not argue. Perhaps he misheard.
Yun Fei hugged Situ Yue and flew over the branch for a while, but suddenly stopped on the branch and did not move. Frowning and listening.
"What's wrong?" Situ Yue asked.
But after a while, he understood. Because the baby's cry was clearly in my ears.
"There really is a baby's voice. Sounds like two. But there was no adult voice. Yun Fei said in a deep voice. Let's go over and see. Yun Fei lowered his head and said to Situ Yue in his arms. As soon as he finished speaking, he flew towards the sound.
Under a tree lies a woman who has long since died. Beside them lay two babies, the cloth wrapped around them already torn off. One of them stretched out his bare arms and waved them around. The other was already dying, and his voice was faint.
