Qingchuan History

Chapter 947 Flames
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, again and again.

Ruan Zhong's injuries were all in April.During this period, Chao Chao really didn't go out, and followed her mother around like a tail every day, obviously unable to help, but she wanted to help at any time, and Ruan Xueyin's desire to "severely deal with it" was completely worn away.

"People punish themselves, it depends on what you have to say." Ruan Zhong laughed at her.

Ruan Xueyin was helpless and funny, "You didn't see her pounding the medicinal mud yesterday, she was working hard from head to toe, and her face was blushing."

The two of them usually lead the court, and when they talk, there will be pictures. "The flesh on the little face is shaking, right?" Ruan Zhong couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

Ruan Xueyin nodded, "I almost laughed out loud."

These days, Jing Tingge was wasting his mind on the new strategy, so he came to ask Ruan Xueyin if he had finished applying the medicine, so that we could discuss it together.Near the door, I heard these two people chatting and laughing happily, and looked at Ruan Zhong with a smile on his face, and immediately turned around, with an old mother's look on his face.

When Murong Xun saw it, he dragged and hugged him into the room, "We know each other well, I want you to be so happy."

She smiled really sweetly, sweeter than when she was with him.

Jing Tingge was in a good mood, so he put his arms around his waist, stretched out his index finger and tapped his chest, "What do you know? I made this matchmaker. After ten years of work, it's finally here. I'm not only happy, I'm so happy!"

Murong Xun laughed when she said it, "Is it really going to happen?"

"It's not so fast, but the momentum is good, and it can be expected next year."

Murong Xun let out a long sigh of relief, "Okay, if the two of them can settle down, our life in the mountain will be completely secure."

Jing Tingge was silent for a while, thinking of what he had said in his sleep the night before, "Are you really down-to-earth?"

Murong Xun was startled, then grinned, "Reassuring." Then he leaned closer to her earlobe and nibbled, "The children are taking a nap next door, so you will be more reassured if you follow me now."

After the summer, the six of them went down the mountain to do some shopping together.

Wearing hats as usual, with only two children showing their faces, I thought they were extremely inconspicuous, but the four or five-year-old looks of Chao Chao and A Yan could already attract a lot of attention.

——The facial features are already exquisite, but they are all whiter than snow, and their eyes are as bright as stars. They have been fumigated by mountains and forests all year round, and they have an extraordinary fairy air.

"Let's go, what are you looking at!" A woman greeted the child at home.

The boy was only six or seven years old. "She's so pretty. Mother, look!"

The woman looked at him for a while, and Xu felt that the caretakers next to her were all wearing hats and were not easy to provoke, so she dragged her son away in a hurry.

"Hold it up." Ruan Xueyin hadn't been out of the house for three years, she was really nervous, even though she knew that Gu Xinglang was far away in the sky, and had left her behind after opening the harem, she was still vigilant and pulled Ruan Zhong's sleeve.

Ruan Zhong picked up Chao Chao, and the brim of the hat covered half of the child's face.

"Mother, just now that elder brother praised me for looking good." Chao Chao wrapped his arms around Ruan Zhong's neck, leaned over and said to Ruan Xueyin.

"Well, you're pretty." Ruan Xueyin replied bluntly, pulling up her veil.

Chao Chao giggled, "Because my mother is good-looking, I am like my mother." He pinched Ruan Zhong's face again, "Uncle is also good-looking." Then he turned his head to the other side, "A Yan is also good-looking, and so is Auntie, My uncle is also pretty. We all look good!"

The child who was less than five years old still talked a lot of stupid things, and several of them were amused by her.A Yan was also in his father's arms, the two children held hands in the air, babbling and teasing each other, it was very lively.

That day, I visited the market and bought items that I couldn't find in the mountains. Jing Tingge wanted to take the children to a restaurant to try something new, but Ruan Xueyin stopped it out of caution.On the way home, on the forest road, I met a little hare. The children clamored to catch it and feed it. The two mothers said that they could be seen everywhere in the mountains, so they let others be at ease. Finally, the rabbit followed.

"There is fate." Ah Yan has always cherished words like gold, and every mouth that opens must be a motto.

"We, A Yan, even know about 'destiny'!" Jing Tingge took his daughter from Murong, not enough cheeks, "What is fate?"

"Mother, Father, A Yan, Chao Chao, Aunt, Uncle," A Yan pointed to each of them one by one, "together," then turned to point at the rabbit, "Now add it, it is destined."

"Good daughter, well said!" Murong Xun clapped his hands and laughed.

Everyone laughed, Ruan Zhong secretly glanced at Ruan Xueyin.

Ruan Xueyin felt it, looked back, and pursed her lips.

After a drizzle that lasted for several days, in September, the autumn of Pengxi Mountain came as promised.

The little hare is growing in size and its coat color is getting brighter. It hops around with its two little masters every day and never gets lost.

Murong Xun and Ruan Zhong practice martial arts every day, one north and one south, they have different fighting methods and weapons, but they help each other and each has its own improvement.

The layers of green on the mountain became darker, and only a few spots began to turn red and yellow. The exploration of Ruan Xueyin and Jing Tingge has also come to the "end of the road".

More than a hundred sheets of divine light, a piece of paper depicting the Atana square stone, a piece of black crepe embroidered with green and gold lines, a few fragments of Heluo pictures, and some inexplicable scenes about the Shangguan banquet in the old days:

He Jingtingge walks through the wheat field and picks ears of wheat at the gate of Weinan Wenqi's house.

He and Ruan Xueyin talked about "like dew is like electricity, you should observe it like this" when you were in the side hall of Mingluan Hall during the period when you believed in the king's treason.

"It's not good to build a car behind closed doors like this. You have to go to the cold place again." Jing Tingge concluded, "You can see the snow light for yourself. It's best to take a nap on the spot to see if you can dream of something." - Mrs. Ming Ruan Xueyin told her the truth about Ting Xuedeng because it was related to this question.

"You might as well go directly to Cangwu and ask Shangguan Yan." Ruan Xueyin joked, "Using beauty tricks, he will definitely fall for it."

Jing Tingge's mood faded, "Then you can do the same. He likes you too, he admitted it himself."

It's really old, Ruan Xueyin can fully afford this kind of joke, "I don't want to know as much as you do, so I can't do it."

Jing Tingge sternly said, "Let's go, Murong can lead the way directly. I haven't traveled far in three years, and it's good to show the children a lot of knowledge. This road is getting more and more sideways, and it's severe winter, so I won't meet many people , you can rest assured."

On December [-]th, they set off to go northeast by day and night, following the route that Jing Tingge had planned early in the morning, that is, the "hole" between the rugged terrain at the junction of the two countries in the west, from Qi to Wei, and went straight to the cold area .

With a young girl doll, the so-called "go straight" is actually not very fast.It was already the end of the year when they entered Weijing, so the group simply found a clean cottage, gave enough money, had a reunion dinner, and huddled together on a big couch at night to watch the new year.

The couch was made of stone, and there was a fire underneath, so it was very warm. The two children snuggled up between them, and fell asleep one after another when they were not ugly.

After all, walking and playing, Lujia was tired after taking care of the children, Jing Tingge could rely on Murong Xun unscrupulously, and soon fell into a dream.

When Murong Xun closed his eyes, only Ruan Xueyin and Ruan Zhong were awake in the silent room.

Ruan Xueyin was looking outside the only window.

"Don't want to sleep?" Ruan Zhong said softly.

"There should be snow tonight, I want to wait."

"The snow in the northern country is worth waiting for. I also appreciate it."

Ruan Xueyin smiled and turned to look at him, "Don't blame me for not waiting."

The room was half dark, and the moonlight could barely illuminate the silhouette of a person, making this smile unparalleled in the world.

"You never make a mistake when you observe the sky." Ruan Zhong said, leaning slightly, getting closer.

Ruan Xueyin subconsciously moved back an inch, pulling the quilt, causing Chao Chao to turn over.

Ruan Zhong laughed, and then said solemnly: "I won't. In the future, unless you agree, I won't."

Ruan Xueyin lowered her eyelashes.

Ruan Zhong stretched out his hand again, very slowly, as if waiting for her to agree or disagree.

The silence continued, and he then gently covered her hand, "If it really snows tonight, if you and I wait and see it together," he paused for a moment to emphasize the following words:
"Let's just give it a try, shall we?"

The midnight wind in the northern country also blows very lightly.

There were breathing sounds one after another in the room, so that Ruan Xueyin really felt that the sound outside was just the sound of the wind.

"Xueyin." Ruan Zhong raised his eyes first.

Ruan Xueyin also raised her eyes, and saw that in the small window frame, between the semi-transparent window paper, in a narrow gap, the white snow flakes were changing from small to large, and fluttering.

The two looked at the unreal feast in the gap between heaven and earth for a long time.

Then Ruan Zhong turned his head, looked at her and smiled.

In the first three years of the Wei Kingdom, it snowed heavily on the night of the new year.Ruan Xueyin thought.When I open my eyes again in the morning, it will be another year of whiteness and a brand new year.

That night she slept soundly and without dreams.

Waking up by the children's cheers after dawn, it was Chao Chao and A Yan who started playing with snowmen.

There is winter snow in the mountains every year, but there is no such endless snowfield as the North Country.

The two children were wearing thick jackets and ran on the snow like little zongzi. They fell, got up, ran, and fell. They were so cute. Ruan Xueyin leaned against the door and giggled.

"They agreed to leave at Chen Shi, and they agreed." Jing Ting sang.

Children's promises are not counted. When it's time to leave, they will definitely want to play.

"New Year, it's rare. If they really want to play for a while, they can leave after lunch." Ruan Xueyin said.

Jing Tingge chuckled, "It's going to be a world of ice and snow all the way, so I'm afraid there won't be any fun?"

Even with horses and chariots, even with Murong Xun, a local snake, and Ruan Zhong, who have traveled back and forth to the Northland for many years, the ice and snow are still more difficult than expected.

Or it is also because the path they choose is so hidden, it is not easy to walk by itself.

On the seventh day of January, the team fell into sleepiness in the first round, mainly because the children were tired.After a little discussion, they decided to rest their feet, found a cave, spread hay and set up a fire, and took out all the appliances they had brought, and arranged them, which felt a bit like home.

Before dark, Murong Xun found a hot spring and said that it was too cold at night, so he could take the children to bathe at noon tomorrow.

Chao Chao and A Yan were too excited to fall asleep until late.

Winter in the northern country is always trustworthy. The next day was sunny as usual, and it was indeed warmer at noon than in the morning and evening. Jing Tingge and Ruan Xueyin packed up their clothes and took their daughters there. Murong Xun and Ruan Zhong were not far from the hot spring. Follow the guards.

In the vast snow forest, with white smoke curling up, you will feel warm when you are cold. Even the children are quiet after entering the water, and they can concentrate on enjoying the heat flowing all over their bodies.

"Not bad?" Xu Jiu Jing Tingge asked, leaning his neck back and resting his head on the rock wall.She had told Ruan Xueyin that year when she soaked her feet in hot springs every night in the cold.

"If there's anything in the north that I'd like to move here, it's probably the snow hot spring." Ruan Xueyin replied after a long while.

"Me too!" Chao Chao said.

"Me too!" Ah Yan said.

All four of them laughed, and their white shoulders, big and small, swayed on the water surface, creating ripples and circles.

"Don't soak for too long!" Yao heard Murong Xun call out, "Especially children!"

"You'll get dizzy after soaking for a long time. He's an expert." Ruan Xueyin praised, "Let's get up, we'll stay for a few days anyway, and come back tomorrow."

"You rely on medical science, he relies on experience." Jing Tingge agreed, reaching out to hold A Yan.

Father and uncle set up a temporary tent by the hot spring, and the four of them were neatly dressed inside, and when they reappeared, they were all radiant—the porcelain-white cheeks that had been completely frozen by the cold weather were full of flushed rosy glow.

"It's our turn!" Murong Xun patted Ruan Zhong, "Let's go!"

The mothers took the two children to play in the forest, picking up pine cones and waiting for them.

"I don't have to worry about the meat." Ruan Xueyin said, she had a good hunting yesterday, "I have to find some edible winter fruits later."

"Can there be?" Jing Tingge expressed doubts.

"Theoretically, there should be." Ruan Xueyin's theory is all learned from books.

Jing Tingge thought for a while, "It should be there."

"Let's split up for a while. The first team will take the children back for lunch," they said after taking a bath and having fun, they should be hungry, "the first team will go for fruit."

"Then let's take care of the children. You are better than me at finding fruit."

The sun is shining brightly, and the light penetrates the forest to reflect the snow, which is whiter than the snow light and sunlight.

Ruan Xueyin looked at the surrounding vegetation, and she had already spotted a place, and went straight to that end with Ruan Zhong.

There was a steep wall to climb, so he went up first, then stretched out his hand to pull her up, but he did not let go.

Ruan Xueyin's first reaction was to withdraw her hand, but she didn't, so he held it.

This picture of walking hand in hand has appeared in Ruan Zhong's dreams countless times over the past ten years.

But Xue Yuan was dazzling, and the soft catkins in his palms were slightly cool, which made him feel like a boy's dream, and he hadn't been relieved for a long time.

"It should be this one."

When her voice sounded, he woke up. "Oh, let's start looking. You said it would be covered in snow, didn't you?"

Ruan Xueyin looked at him.

Ruan Zhongcai reacted by still holding her hand tightly, making her unable to move, he was embarrassed and let go.

This person is really not inferior to Murong when he is stupid.Ruan Xueyin was amused, so she picked up a branch and began to rummage through it.

The bright red small round fruit appeared in the vast whiteness at first glance, it was a bit glaring, and it was very beautiful.The two were pleasantly surprised, looked at each other for a moment, and continued to search, more and more.

The thin skin is a little wrinkled, but the whole is still plump. It should be that the pulp and juice are still there.

"Where did you come from?" Ruan Zhong asked.

Ruan Xueyin pointed upwards, Ruan Zhong raised his eyes and saw half-dead branches intertwined, still puzzled.

"It fell from the sky." Ruan Xueyin teased him.

Only then did Ruan Zhong realize that it was the fruits of those branches that fell before the heavy snowfall, and withered before they were able to, and were sealed by the snow.

He chuckled, liking her joking with him like this. "Can it be delicious?"

Ruan Xueyin picked up a palm and rubbed it lightly, put it in her mouth to chew, "Well, it's sweet."

Ruan Zhong only felt that she saw her appearance when she was six or seven years old again. Under her calm and clear understanding, she was just a little girl.

"Try it too." Ruan Xueyin rubbed another one and handed it over.

Ruan Zhong thought for a while, then opened his mouth slightly.

Ruan Xueyin hesitated a little, and brought it to his lips.

After the fruits were collected and the bundles packed, the two of them returned the same way.

Passing through the steep wall earlier, Ruan Zhong jumped first and stood at the bottom to meet him.

Ruan Xueyin was extremely careful, and tried her best not to cause side branches, but going down was more difficult than going up, and the ice and snow were slippery. When she landed, she still couldn't help being protected by his arms and hugged across her arms.

He didn't put her down right away.

"It's on the ground." Ruan Xueyin had no choice but to speak.

A few miles away, a team of riders and horses stopped, and the sentry reported that there were people ahead.

The red-brown Ben Xiao stood proudly among the white snow, like a raging fire, and the eyebrows and eyes of the person sitting on it were carved with fine brushwork, and his face was like ice.

——This is the normal state of His Majesty in the past few years. When dealing with political affairs and facing courtiers, he is no longer as gentle as before.Ji Qi only found out during this trip. "Roughly who?" he asked.

"It should be the common people, and children, just not like the locals."

"Your Majesty, our trip is a secret, it is not appropriate to startle the snake." Ji Qi turned to Gu Xinglang.

Gu Xinglang was looking at the snowfield with squinted eyes, and hummed.

But in the next moment, a bit of crimson red smashed his vision.

Like a flame, it moved down from a place that was neither high nor low, and was caught by a spot of black and blue. When you looked closely, you could guess that it was a man and a woman.

Because of the posture that can be roughly judged although it is not clear.

"Is it them?" Ji Qi also caught a glimpse and asked Sensei Tan.

"Yes!"

"His Majesty--"

"bring it here."
