Chapter 124: The Valley

Xu Xian smiled, didn't care, and introduced Zhong Li beside him: "You came just in time! This is Zhong Kui's sister, Miss Zhong Li, you should accompany her more!"

There was no Zhong Li beside him, and when he looked back, Zhong Li was hiding in the corner, holding his arms, looking at Xu Xian and then at Yun Yan, a little guarded, and a little at a loss. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xu Xian shook his head even more, and said to Zhong Li: "Miss Zhong Li, this is my wife Yun Yan!"

Yun Yan took off her veil and smiled sweetly at Zhong Li, "Sister Zhong Li!" This smile is from the heart, not a fake scene. Being called a wife by Xu Xian in front of outsiders always gives her "vanity" a little satisfaction.

Zhong Li couldn't help but be surprised by Yun Yan's appearance, the bright smile almost made people unable to look directly.

But I can't help but admit that both husband and wife are very affinity. She has lived in the mountains for many years, and Zhong Kui has almost always gone out to cook the purchases, and she has almost never seen any living people, and the experience of being ostracized by the townspeople since she was a child also made her more wary of others, and Zhong Kui's death made her like a frightened bird.

But the two people in front of them seemed to be a little different, which made people involuntarily take off their guard. It was almost unbelievable that he was put on his shoulders by a strange man like Fang Cai, and it took him half a day to react. The expression was too sincere, the movements were too natural, and by the time she reacted, his hands were already there.

Yun Yan looked at Ying Ying and stood up to Zhong Li, and did not immediately step forward to get closer. Instead, he exclaimed in his heart, "The world is so big, there are no surprises." Although she had never seen Zhong Kui, she had heard how hideous and ugly Zhong Kui was. And such a hideous and ugly brother has such a clear and beautiful sister. sighed in his heart, "Master Pan, even if you are extremely smart, you still miscalculated." ”

But when she saw Zhong Li, her eyes wet with tears, she couldn't help but think of Qingluan, who had been separated for a long time, and a feeling of pity couldn't help but rise in her heart, and she stepped forward to wipe the tears on her face with her hand, but she didn't say any comforting words in her mouth.

Zhong Li was even more overwhelmed, not knowing how to refuse such kindness.

Xu Xian felt that it was better that he was not present at this time, Yun Yan was a daughter like Zhong Li, and she was more empathetic, and it was much more convenient to talk than herself, and it would probably take some time for the county order to arrive. I set off from the capital early in the morning, and now it's past noon, so I don't care, but Yun Yan must be hungry, and Zhong Li doesn't look like he's eaten.

He asked, "Where's the kitchen?"

Zhong Lizheng was a little intoxicated by Yun Yan's gentleness, and when he heard this, he hurriedly pointed to another small bamboo house in the west, although he was curious, he didn't want to ask too much.

Xu Xian walked to the kitchen, which was just as simple, as clean and tidy. Even the stove is spotless, and no matter whose woman has such a kitchen, her husband is proud enough.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in the kitchen, and there is not much rice and noodles in the tank, but it can deal with a meal. He didn't know that this was still the family money that Zhong Kui earned when he was promoted in the exam.

It's just that the water tank is already empty, although Xu Xian has the spell of collecting steam into water, but remembering the Agu Spring not far away, he picked up two buckets and walked towards the pond, preparing to take a few fish to cook by the way.

Zhong Li saw it from the window, and hurriedly spoke to stop it, saying, "Young Master Xu!"

Yun Yan grabbed her waist and said, "Let him go!"

Zhong Li shook his head violently, "No!" Quickly walked out of the door and snatched the bucket from Xu Xian's hand, "Young Master Xu, let me come!" suddenly remembered his responsibility, he was a friend of his brother, and he should treat him well, "You have come from afar, you must be hungry, you can sit in the house for a while, and I will cook for you." ”

Xu Xian saw her stubborn appearance, so he couldn't pull and pull with her, so he had to hand her a bucket. "You take this, I'll keep this to catch a few fish and come back!" The ancients had to fast and avoid meat during funerals, but not to avoid fish and meat, but to avoid eating spicy and smelly foods such as onions and garlic.

Besides, Xu Xian at this moment, when it is unnecessary, will not pay attention to these vulgar etiquette.

Zhong Li suddenly remembered that except for those old hens, there was nothing to entertain them at home. She didn't think that someone like Xu Xian could catch a fish. "I'll go to town and buy something, and I'll get some more wine and come back!"

Xu Xian naturally waved his hand and refused.

Yun Yan raised her little hand and said crisply: "Then I'll make a fire and cook!"

Xu Xian said: "Just sit down and don't make a mess, you're really idle, so go and cut the cooked beef in the hanging pocket, don't eat it secretly!"

Yun Yan stuck out her tongue and whispered, "You just don't steal it! Otherwise, I will be blamed for not taking a good look at you!"

Xu Xian glared, and before she could speak, Yun Yan had already smiled and hid back in the house.

Xu Xian turned his head and said, "Miss Zhong, let's go!"

The two walked through the forest path, the breeze moved, the sound of bamboo was quiet, and the spots were circulating.

But the mood of the two is very different, in Xu Xian's view, this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, it is a good place to live in seclusion, and there is a bit of "settled in the human realm, and there is no noise of cars and horses".

Zhong Li is a relative in his heart, the family lived here together, even if he was poor, he could live happily. Now I am left alone, and I don't know what else I will do in the future.

Xu Xian seemed to be aware of her thoughts, and sighed lightly: "Miss Zhong Li, you don't have to worry too much. Although Brother Zhong doesn't know where to wander, I will definitely take good care of you on his behalf. ”

It is difficult for such a lonely and weak woman to survive in such an era. But if she wants to live alone in the mountains, Xu Xian must not be at ease. Sometimes beauty is more desirable than gold and silver, and if there is a thief, it will be too late to regret it.

Zhong Li instinctively refused: "Thank you Gongzi Xu for your concern, but ...... Still don't have to, I'm able to take care of myself. ”

Xu Xian said: "I will stay here for some time, if your brother can come back, it will be great." If not, I'll find a way to accommodate you. This matter cannot be done by your surname, and if your brother is here, he will definitely approve of it. ”

If Zhong Kui really doesn't return, he will ask someone to send her to the capital, and Pan Yu will place a house, which must not be a problem. But of course, it would be great if Zhong Kui could return.

Zhong Li's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything more. She had just seen the majesty of the man beside her, and knew that it was difficult for her to disobey the man next to her. I could only pray silently in my heart: "Brother, if you are really a heroic spirit, please come back quickly!"

The two of them didn't speak again along the way, Xu Xian couldn't think of anything to say to the young girl beside him, let alone his eyes fell on her. She tightened her body and quickly put her eyes elsewhere, the look on her face was stubborn and pitiful.

Xu Xian didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and the two soon walked through the bamboo forest and came to the Agu Spring.

As soon as the light shone, the scales flickered.

The clear water of the pond reflects the mountains of the valley, the surrounding flowers are luxuriant, and the peony lilies bloom quietly in the reflection of the water. As if lamenting the loneliness that no one appreciates, it seems to be content with the tranquility of this valley, unwilling to be disturbed by outsiders.

Only the fragrance of the dark stamen flowers spreads gently with the sound of the spring water.

Xu Xian asked, "This flower doesn't look like a wildflower, did you plant it?"

Zhong Li hesitated slightly, then nodded his head and said, "Yes." She transplanted a lot of flowers and cultivated them carefully, which is also a rare entertainment in the life of a girl.

Then she skillfully put the bucket into the water and scooped the water, obviously not the first time she had done such a thing, but her strength was small, and she couldn't fill the bucket, and it took a lot of time to fill a tank of water, and it took a lot of time to walk the tree-lined path dozens of times back and forth.

The jade-white plain held the old wooden barrel in his hand, and the clean shadow was reflected in the blue water, and there were bright blue skies, white clouds, and prosperous blooms and withering, as well as the girl's clean face and slightly confused eyes.

This scene is unexpectedly tranquil and harmonious, and it can be painted!

Then the painting is nothing but a dead thing that is still, but this scene is moving, the water waves are moving, the flowing clouds are moving, the spring breeze is moving, the flowers are blooming little by little, and even the girl's eyes are flowing, sometimes sad, sometimes confused, sometimes confused. Even if it is a wonderful hand, it may be difficult to write down the one-ten-thousandth of the scenery at this moment.

This situation made Xu Xian can't help but have such thoughts, "Should someone come to this valley to protect her, instead of taking her away from this valley?" I was afraid that she would wilt and wither like a flower out of the soil, and that the scenery here would be nothing more than a view without her. ”

Xu Xian shook his head, as if he wanted to throw this thought out, but he couldn't help but sigh lightly, "There is a beautiful woman in the peerless generation, living in the empty valley. If you have never heard this poem, will you be inspired to make similar poems at this time?

Zhong Li was just about to take the bucket out of the water, when she heard this poem, her heart trembled, and the bucket fell into the water again. She closed her eyes in panic, waiting for the smell of falling into the water, and put one arm around her waist and straightened her body.

With a "plop", the wooden bucket fell into the water, and she opened her eyes to see that Xu Xian was filling the bucket with water and lifting it up.

Xu Xian said: "Be careful!"

Zhong Li's face was slightly red, and he nodded, "Thank you!" Fortunately, his hand had left his waist, and the sudden touch of his sensitive waist at that moment still made her a somewhat indescribable experience.

Xu Xian said: "I'll go back when I finish catching fish!"

Zhong Li looked at the clear pool water beside him, there is a saying that "when the water is clear, there are no fish", in this pool water, it is difficult to see the traces of swimming fish, and then looked at Xu Xian, who only brought a wooden barrel beside him, hesitated for a moment and said: "Xu Gongzi, do you really want to catch fish?"
