The Li family has been busy with the final repair work of the tunnel, and Li Yuan has done a good job of keeping secrets, after blocking the mouths of several little ghosts at the scene that day, he told Li Ying not to tell anyone about Yi Xiang's arrival, so that no one else in the clan knows that he is hiding Jiao in the golden house.

The early spring passed quickly, ushering in April in the world, and the tunnel was finally repaired. Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Xiang has always hid in a vacant room vacated for him by Li Yuan, and she pinched her fingers to count the years in the world, and more than two months have passed.

On that day, several children came to the door with kites to look for Li Kite and asked him to take them to the back mountain to fly kites. Li Yuan agreed without saying a word. Before going out, he gently pushed open Yi Xiang's door, confirmed that she was still safe, and let go of a worried heart.

He had to check almost every day, for fear that after the night, the fairy would disappear into the morning as usual.

He couldn't stand the urging of the children outside the door, and hurriedly gave Yi Xiang a good morning smile and walked out quickly.

Yi Xiang still lay on the windowsill, looking at the mountains outside the window lattice, and that window happened to be able to see the scenery of the mountains behind. And Li Yuan also had a heart, so she chose a place where she could see.

The child trotted forward with the swallow paper kite, and when Li Kite said "release", he immediately let go of his hand and let the wind send the paper kite into the air. However, today the territory of the empty mountain is peaceful, and there is not a trace of wind. The paper kite swayed twice and fell. After that, I tried several more times, but all failed.

"That's it, that's it, this kite can't fly today." Li Yuan put down the kite string and said helplessly.

The children were depressed and looked forward to the whole winter, and finally waited for the spring to bloom.

"I heard that people outside will go out every spring, enjoy the flowers, and fly kites. Why can't we? How are we different from them? "A child sat on the ground, discouraged.

Li Yuan also squatted down, rubbed his warm little head vigorously, circled him into the crook of his arm, and said freely and sadly: "Isn't this our helpless fate? ”

"I really want to go out, enjoy the flowers, and fly kites." One child bowed his head and began to cry, causing the others to also be depressed and wipe away tears.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, close your eyes for me, don't peep." Li Yuan stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and made a special seal.

When the children reopened their eyes, they found themselves in a sea of purple irises, with a variety of paper kites flying under the clear blue sky. The breeze came, the fragrance of flowers overflowed, and the tears in the corners of the eyes were quickly evaporated by joy. They cheered and rejoiced in this beautiful fantasy land, shuttling among the flowers all over the mountains.

Yi Xiang suddenly came to Li Yuan's side, and it was obvious that she had also entered this mirage that he had carefully created.

She did not laugh at them for deceiving themselves, but there was a sincere light in her eyes, and waves on her desolate countenance.

Li Yuan casually plucked a nearby iris hairpin and put it on her sideburns.

"Beautiful." He genuinely complimented.

Yi Xiang smiled a little for the first time. She picked up the paper kite that had fallen to the ground, and with a flick of her wrist set off a strong wind in the calm hills, pushing the paper kite into the sky. She handed the kite string to Li Kite.

Li Yuan watched her move in amazement, took the kite string in a daze, and said in disbelief: "You can actually control the wind!" You are indeed a fairy in the sky. He was surprised and a little lonely at the same time.

Yi Xiang didn't answer, just looked up at the paper kite soaring in the sky, feeling that her heart was as free and happy as the paper kite at this moment.

Li Yuan also stared at her together, his eyes showed a strong yearning, and he asked with feeling: "I heard that there are tens of thousands of rules and regulations in this world, and it is very tiring to be an immortal." Oh, I forgot, you can't speak. Are there any gods in the sky who can't speak? He muttered to himself.

Yi Xiang turned his head to look at his raised side face, and the sea of irises reflected his purple eyes deeper and more mysterious.

Unfortunately, the old kite string did not give face, it was stretched out, and it broke after a few tosses by the wind. Li Kite's face became more and more dull, as if she had a feeling.

"I don't really like kite flying at all. They seem to be flying freely in the air, but in fact, they are always led by a thread. Where and how they fly are at the behest of the person holding the kite string. Their fate is always in the hands of others, and the only moment of freedom is only the moment when the line is broken. But once the string is broken, the kite will only fall, be torn and cut...... Death, however, is the only relief. ”

Paper has always been unable to contain the fire, and soon the strange behavior of the Li Yuan brothers and sisters was suspected, and Yi Xiang, who had been hidden for a long time, was also inadvertently bumped into.

When the patriarch of the Li clan learned of this, he hurriedly summoned Li Yuan and scolded him, blaming him for bringing the unclear woman home without authorization. They confronted him about Yi Xiang's origins, but he didn't say a word, only saying that she was a mute girl, had lost her memory, and knew nothing about her past.

How could the head of the Li clan believe his words, and he was determined to think that he had fornicated with foreigners. In addition, his sister Li Ying's recent suspicious behavior is also in the ranks of attention.

Soon after the tunnel was built, the brother and sister couldn't help but collude with the outside world. The patriarch of the Li clan held a general meeting overnight and warned the clansmen not to cross the tunnels and leave the empty mountain without permission, so as not to attract Jinyun's eyes and make them discover their secret actions.

In order to set an example, Li Yuan was beaten in public and lay at home for three or four days.

And Yi Xiang was taken care of alone.

Although they did not have conclusive evidence of Li Ying's affair with Jinyun, her movements were also restricted.

Yi Xiang spent a very boring time in a small bamboo hut on the back mountain, which was even more boring than in the heavenly realm. Although the immortals of the heavenly court themselves are also very boring, they can at least talk and relieve boredom, unlike now, they don't even have a person to talk to.

She quietly operated the immortal power in her body, but she was still powerless. She was a little anxious by the loneliness, and kept spinning on the thin floor.

I endured it for several days and nights. Late one night, the secluded cottage welcomed visitors for the first time in a long time.

"Xiangxiang, it's me." Li Yuan specially lowered her voice, blending it into the whirring night wind and seeping into the crack in the door.

Yi Xiang hurriedly opened the door and welcomed him in.

Li Yuan rushed into the house, grabbed her shoulders in a hurry, and roared: "Hurry up!" Let's go now, back to heaven! ”

Yi Xiang shook his head blankly, with a helpless expression.

Li Yuan read powerlessness from her face, and thought about it. If she can leave, she will leave early in the morning, so why bother to stay in this poor country and endure hardship. He fell to the bench with all his strength, and when his butt touched the hard bench surface, he convulsed in pain and quickly stood up again.

The close relationship between her sister Li Ying and the son of the Jinyun clan was discovered by the clan, and they decided that Yi Xiang was a spy sent in by Jinyun and was preparing to execute Yi Xiang.

But Li Kite couldn't tell them the truth. They would never believe that Yi Xiang was a fairy in the sky, and perhaps they would think that this was an untenable lie he had made up in order to clear her of suspicion.

After a few thoughts, he had a flash of inspiration. He grabbed Yi Xiang's hands violently, and asked anxiously and implicitly, "Are you willing to marry me?" ”

Yi Xiang was slightly stunned, and the hands curled up in his palms shrank for a moment.

Li Yuan hurriedly explained: "I'm not trying to take advantage of you! It's just that the situation is urgent. If you don't give a reasonable explanation to the clan, I'm afraid they will do you badly. I can lie to them that you are a mute girl I met by chance passing by the empty mountain when I was building a tunnel. When I saw that you were simple, I deceived you into going up the mountain. As long as you and I get married, and express our willingness to stay here forever and not go out, maybe they can dispel their suspicions about you. ”

Yi Xiang still hesitated, her immortal power had not fully recovered, and it was impossible to fly. According to Li Yuan, if she can't escape on her own, I'm afraid they won't let it go easily, and maybe there will be a fierce battle. It is against the rules of heaven for an immortal to be rude with mortals in the mortal world, not to mention that she doesn't want to hurt Li Kite's relatives.

There seems to be no other way to solve this dilemma.

Li Yuan continued to add: "Don't worry, it's just a fake marriage. If you want to go back to heaven one day, you can leave at any time. I have only one request, don't say goodbye, even if it's just to inform me. He seemed to have anticipated that scene, and his face showed obvious loss.

Yi Xiang caressed his cheeks, and his cold fingers burst into hot heat when they touched his hot skin. She nodded, agreeing to the hasty plan.

Li Yuan suddenly showed a relaxed smile. He put her hands together and clasped them tightly, "Okay, you wait for me here, I'll arrange it." ”

Li Yuan found the patriarch of the Li clan and told him the origin of Yi Xiang that he had fabricated. The patriarch was already dying, and when he heard his bad behavior, he was so angry that he almost pouted directly, pointed at him and scolded: "No wonder how I questioned you that day, you refused to speak, and this girl was deceived by you." Li Kite, Li Kite, you kid has eaten the guts of a bear's heart and a leopard, and you dare to do such an illegal thing! ”

Li Yuan bowed her head silently and whispered: "I also watched her parents die, a mute, lonely and miserable." I asked her, and she was willing to marry me and stay in the empty mountain for the rest of her life. ”

"You still dare to quibble, I think you just look at people's beautiful parents, so you are very lustful! I'm angry, come on, drag this bastard out for me, and beat him for thirty dozen boards! The patriarch gave an order, and the two of them came in and took him off the hall.

Li Yuan asked the two of them: "Don't hit your buttocks for a while, you haven't healed yet, change places." Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. ”

"You kid, you don't have a serious time. For the sake of your imminent marriage, this meal will give you a discount today, and don't forget to invite us to a wedding wine when the time comes. ”

Li Yuan smiled from ear to ear, "Thank you, thank you, you must be." ”
