After a few days and nights of trekking, the 300-mile winding Xijiang River has been brought to an end by Zhang Shaofei.

At noon that day, Zhang Shaofei came to a hill on the bank of the Yangtze River in Wuhan. He picked up a plum on the side of the hill road.

Zhang Shaofei is particularly fond of plum blossoms. He often went into the mountains to collect firewood, and in the harsh winter, in the reckless mountains where the trees were withered and the flowers and plants were dry, he would often smell a faint fragrance of flowers. The fragrance of flowers will draw him to the plum blossoms that bloom in the cold.

Zhang Shaofei has been influenced by his father and Lu Xueru's poetry and songs since he was a child, and he has the talent of a poet, and he knows the unique natural law of plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter - the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.

Zhang Shaofei pitifully planted the plum blossom that had been discarded on the side of the road and planted it on the hill, and poured some water from the gourd he brought with him and poured it into the soil around the plum blossom.

What is unexpected is that since then, this barren hill is full of plum blossoms, the old stem is like iron, the fragrance of flowers is ten miles, and it has become the most beautiful scenery in the north.

Zhang Shaofei left Xiaoshangang and came to Sanshui at the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Beijiang River a few days later.

Zhang Shaofei stood at the three-way intersection where the three rivers meet. Here, a large road leads to Hubei, and a trail winds along the banks of the Beijiang River.

The road is wide and flat, and it is the road leading to the Central Plains. Here, however, it turned southeast and had to detour several hundred miles; The trail is rugged and rugged, with steep mountains along the way, and you need to cross the mountains and wade through streams. And on the way, there is no one to live, so you can only eat wild fruits, drink spring water thirstily, and stay in caves all night.

Zhang Shaofei resolutely chose to take the path.

The path twists and turns eighteen times, stretching into the mountains and mountains. The real one is: people are in the eighteen bends of the path, the road is faint in the nine curved green mountains, the mountains are in the white clouds, and the clouds are in the vast world......

Ahead, a large mountain blocked the way. Zhang Shaofei struggled to climb up, Zhang Shaofei slipped under his feet and fell......

When Zhang Shaofei woke up, he found himself lying on the bed of a stranger's house.

"Brother, the man who fell off the cliff has woken up." A young woman shouted at the study.

This woman's surname is Liu, her name is Xiuxi, a native of Liu Xuan Village, her brother Liu Xiubin inadvertently rescued Zhang Shaofei in the mountains that day, and saw that he was unconscious, so he found Liu Yiming, the old man in the village.

Liu Yiming finished Zhang Shaofei's pulse and said, "Mr. Liu, you don't have to worry, it doesn't matter if this younger brother is overtired, he will wake up after taking two doses of medicine." ”

Liu Xiubin asked worriedly: "Imperial Doctor, will he break his brain?" ”

Lang Zhong looked at Liu Xiubin and said with relief, "Mr. Liu, thanks to his timely rescue, he is now fine, and he should be fine after a while." ”

Lang Zhong took the second medicine from the medicine box and said to Liu Xiubin: "Take it once a day, and you should be cured after taking it." After Lao Langzhong finished instructing, he packed up the medical equipment, and after Liu Xiubin paid the medical bills, Lao Langzhong picked up the medicine box and said goodbye.

After a day and a night, after Zhang Shaofei woke up, he learned that he was rescued by a scholar-like person of the same age as himself in front of him, so he hurriedly got out of bed, knelt down in front of Liu Xiubin and said: "Thank you for the grace of the strong man for saving your life, please accept Zhang Shaofei's worship." ”

Liu Xiubin hurriedly grabbed Zhang Shaofei, who was about to kneel, and after introducing each other, he said politely: "Shaofei, what are you doing here?" I'm sure you'll do the same with me. ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "Anyway, the grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, please accept my Zhang Shaofei's worship." ”

Liu Xiubin interrupted him and said earnestly: "Shaofei, this is really nothing, in life, if you don't even help your own kind, is it still a human being!" ”

Zhang Shaofei held Liu Xiubin's hand and said, "Okay, thank you for your kindness." Ah Fei, your great kindness, I will definitely think of repaying it in the future. ”

Liu Xiuxi made tea and served it.

Liu Xiubin introduced: "This is my sister Liu Xiuxi, his name is Zhang Shaofei. ”

Liu Xiuxi saluted tea: "Brother Fei, please drink tea." ”

Zhang Shaofei hurriedly returned the salute: "Thank you, Sister Alan." ”

When Liu Xiubin heard this, he was stunned at first, then laughed, and said: "Since the two of you are commensurate with brother and sister, then I ...... with Ah Fei" Liu Xiubin said this, his eyes rolled, and his gaze stopped on Zhang Shaofei's face, "Can we also be commensurate with brothers?" ”

"Okay! That's what I mean. Zhang Shaofei said happily.

Liu Xiubin and Zhang Shaofei hit it off at first sight, the more they talked, the more they surrendered, and they had a great feeling of hating each other, so they immediately burned incense, took heaven and earth as evidence, married Jin Lan, and officially worshiped as brothers.

Liu Xiubin is two years older than Zhang Shaofei and is respected as his elder brother.

After Liu Xiubin and Zhang Shaofei became brothers, he turned to his little sister Liu Xiuxi, "Sister, from today on, you will call Brother Shaofei the second brother." ”

Liu Xiuxi's face was slightly red, looked at Zhang Shaofei, and muttered: "Second brother, please sit ......"

Liu Xiuxi touched the corner of his clothes with his hand, "Second brother, how is your body recovering?" ”

Zhang Shaofei patted his chest and said, "Okay, it's all right!" ”

Liu Xiubin said implicitly: "Second brother, if you don't wake up again, my little sister will ......."

Zhang Shaofei asked in surprise: "Third sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"What I'm talking about is that during the day and night when you were unconscious, my little sister didn't eat or sleep, and kept staying by your side, constantly giving you cold compresses and wipings. If you wake up a few days later, she will not die of exhaustion, but she will have to cry to death. Liu Xiubin said humorously.

Zhang Shaofei stood up and said, "Thank you for taking care of the third sister." ”

Liu Xiuxi's face was flushed, and she muttered in a low voice: "Don't listen to the big brother's nonsense." ”

Liu Xiubin pretended to be surprised and said, "What? Sister, do you say that the eldest brother is talking nonsense? The day before yesterday, whose eyes cried like a giant panda? ”

Liu Xiuxi ran out of the living room with a shy face.

She came to the small pool in the courtyard and sat facing the water. The pool is as calm as a mirror, and a budding lotus is slim. Xiuxi's beautiful face is reflected on the water, pure, shy, beautiful, the human face, the lotus flower contrasts with each other, the flower increases the human face three points white, and the person dyes the lotus flower a little shy, comparable to the flower:

Feng'er was affectionate, and quietly sent the conversation between Liu Xiubin and Zhang Shaofei: "Third brother, who else is in your family?" ”

"It's just my mother."

……

Liu Xiuxi seemed to sink into some kind of fantasy, her eyes revealed a hazy longing, and her mind and body were intoxicated with great happiness......

A small bird flies through the air, leaving behind a string of melodious chirps.

The melodious chirping of the bird woke Liu Xiuxi from her dream, and she was ashamed and covered her red cheeks with her hands.

Liu Xiuxi's hand slowly moved away, and the girl's face reflected on the water surface was still red, she smiled silently, and stretched out her hand to disturb the world in the water.

Liu Xiubin and Zhang Shaofei's voices were faintly inaudible. Liu Xiu thought for a moment and walked into the kitchen.

Liu Xiuxi carried a plate of fruit and quietly walked along the corridor to the door of the living room.

In the living room, Liu Xiubin was still chatting with Zhang Shaofei.

Liu Xiubin asked: "Brother Xian, are you going north this time to visit relatives and friends or do business?" ”

Zhang Shaofei said: "I am neither visiting relatives nor doing business. I guess it's a study. ”

Liu Xiubin said: "Oh, I really don't see it, the virtuous brother is also a scholar. ”

Zhang Shaofei smiled and said, "Don't dare to be." What I am talking about is not the study of your scholars, I want to go to Huangmei Dongshan Zen Temple to worship the five ancestors Hongren as a teacher and learn Buddhism......"

Zhang Shaofei's words happened to be heard by Liu Xiuxi, who came to the door of the living room with fruits, and couldn't help but get distracted, and with a "bang", the fruit porcelain plate in his hand fell to the ground. Liu Xiubin and Zhang Shaofei heard the noise coming from outside the door and stood up at the same time.

Liu Xiubin said: "Brother Xian, you haven't recovered yet, please sit down first, and I'll go out and have a look." Zhang Shaofei thought to himself, this is in someone else's house, more things are better than less things, so he sat down obediently again.

Liu Xiubin walked out of the living room and saw a mess outside the door: a porcelain plate had been shattered, and a few fruits were scattered on the ground. On the other side of the corridor, Xiuxi's figure flashed and turned into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Liu Xiubin chased after him and saw Xiuxi hiding in the kitchen wiping his tears.

Liu Xiubin asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Xiuxi said: "I ...... I...... I walked carelessly, tripped and the plate fell off.

Liu Xiubin joked: "Look at you, you are so old, you are about to get married, and you are still careless, and you will inevitably be scolded by your mother-in-law in the future." ”

Liu Xiuxi seemed to be poked in the sad place, twitching silently, and big tears fell down.

Seeing this, Liu Xiubin was a little panicked, and hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't cry, don't cry!" Isn't it just a plate, and if you fall, you will fall. ”

Liu Xiuxi tried to control her emotions, but she couldn't stop her tears. She turned her head and choked up, "You don't care about me, go and accompany the guests." I, I, I'll be fine for a while. ”

Liu Xiubin muttered in a low voice: "Girl, crying for a while, laughing for a while, it's always so inexplicable." ”
