Chapter 2: My Aunt

【Fengyun Reading Network.】

The rickety old man raised his face, his hair and beard were messy, and he was frost-colored, like a fog in the depths of winter, and when he saw Chang Sihao, his eyes showed a slight look of joy and wanted to make a smile, but the gray skin seemed to be frozen, but the corners of his eyes were barely slightly retracted, and the wrinkles stretched out like cracks on the surface of the ice

He said hoarsely: "Xiaohao, are you here......?"

Hearing this voice, Chang Sihao straightened up, looked at the old man, and suddenly inhaled a breath of cold air, and instantly froze like ice

He grabbed the old man's hand: "Brother Chen...... It's you."

Chen Sheng nodded

Chang Sihao's lips trembled, and there was a sound in his mouth, but he couldn't speak, looking back at Qin Ziyin and Tang Gen, his face was also extremely surprised They had also seen Chen Shengyi some time ago Obviously, they were very uncomfortable with his huge changes Then the generation of this change is also a recent thing Qin Ziyin suddenly understood that there was only one person who could make Chen Shengyi become so She ran quickly towards the temple and shouted: "Fourth aunt, fourth aunt" Qin Juexiang hugged the child and followed behind

The two pushed the door and ran into the lobby, and were about to look for the east and west rooms, Chen Shengyi didn't know where the strength came from, shook off Chang Sihao's hand, and rushed to stop in front of the two, and said: "You guys are cold, bake the fire first."

Qin Juexiang rolled his eyes: "It's a cold fart, what kind of fire is there at this time" and I want to break in Suddenly Chang Sihao grabbed his arm: "Jue Xiang I think Brother Chen means that he is probably afraid that the cold on your body will rush the fourth aunt" Qin Juexiang frowned: "Come on, the fourth aunt can't even take this bit of cold air " Looking at Chen Shengyi again, there was no reaction But that's how it stopped

Qin Ziyin was anxious in his heart, how could he still have the kung fu to bake the fire, pulled the rope buckle, and the snow fell to the ground, and he ran to the door of the east house, and slowly lifted the curtain and drilled sideways

The heating hits the face, and the eye is a red light, and there is a small oil lamp on the opposite wall, which is placed in a small hollow like a dense grotto, and the fire is swaying like a living Buddha statue, and there are three braziers on the ground, and there is a small kang on the right side of the room, and the window is tightly pasted, and the paper surface is slightly transmitted

Qin Menghuan was covered with two layers of quilts, lying on the kang with his head and feet on the ground, his head sinking deeply into the soft pillow, and his hair was pulled upside down and loosely coiled on the top of his head

Qin Ziyin didn't dare to move quickly, for fear that his body would burst into the wind

She slowly approached and saw that the fourth aunt had her eyes closed, her face was quiet and peaceful, and the skin on her face was a little loose, like a tofu skin that had just been peeled off and was on a skeleton, and the wrinkles under her jaw were slightly damp, and a strand of hair that had fallen out stuck to it seemed to have become a wrinkle, and a vein stretched out a sinuous mark under the skin of her neck, like an earthworm that had loosened the soil, and it surged every other time, and it seemed that it was her breathing

"Fourth aunt......" Qin Ziyin called softly, but Qin Menghuan did not respond

Qin Juexiang also took off his coat and walked in, and the flames on the wall shook slightly behind him Yan Linyuan followed gently After standing still, the soles of his boots moved, and there was a sound on the ground

Hearing this, Qin Menghuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze passed through his niece and nephew, and fell on Yan Linyuan's face

She just looked at it once, and then she smiled, and her face was bloodied again

"You're learning from me," she said

Unexpectedly, the voice is also very energetic

Yan Linyuan: "Yes" This is the voice of the statement, the voice of reminiscing about the past, and it is surprisingly not sentimental

Qin Menghuan saw Chen Shengyi behind him and Chang Sihao holding the child and asked, "Is the water boiled?" Chen Shengyi replied: "Immediately" turned his head and went out, followed by the sound of chiseling ice outside again, very light Chang Sihao held the child and listened through the cotton curtain, feeling as if it was chiseled on his heart every time

Qin Ziyin also seemed to feel that her existence was a disturbance Get up and want to leave, but Qin Menghuan's hand moved from the bottom of the quilt, as if she was going to stretch out and pull She hurriedly sat sideways on the edge of the kang and put her hand under the quilt Hold it with her aunt At the same time, she understood her aunt's mood in her eyes and looked back with tears in her eyes and said, "Absolutely loud on the kang"

Qin Juexiang silently took off his boots, sat down on the back window of the kang, reached out to the bottom of the quilt, and grabbed his aunt's left hand

Qin Menghuan looked at the roof and smiled: "At the beginning, I designed to trip you and lock you in that underground stone house with you, everything is so quiet."

"Yes," Yan Linyuan closed his eyes and stood up straight, speaking slowly, like the clear drops on the banana leaves after the rain: "At that time, I couldn't see my fingers, but I could hear each other's heartbeats, as if there were no human bodies outside the two hearts, but they jumped in space out of thin air, like a trembling drum skin, gently shaking the heavens and the earth."

Qin Menghuan: "At that time, I heard the sound of your feet from time to time, and I didn't hear a sense of eagerness to leave to save people, and said that you were shy, and you had already moved feelings for me."

Yan Linyuan still closed his eyes and laughed silently: "You learned from me at that time to convey the 'same' mind as me, but unfortunately, it wasn't until many years later that I thought that the voice was actually not anxiety, but a girl's mood."

Qin Menghuan smiled: "You learned a lot just now...... You get the idea."

"yes, I see......"

Yan Linyuan closed his eyes and stood quietly, his head raised slightly, and there was a softness on his angular face, as if there was a candlelight inside to light up his body, and the whole person suddenly became warm After a while, two tear lines silently crossed his face, like transparent oil marks on a paper lantern

There was silence in the room

It was quiet for a long time

The wind outside the window whined like a child's cry Xiao Changshou seemed to be infected and cried Chang Sihao hurriedly shook gently and coaxed "oh oh" in his mouth

Qin Menghuan smiled silently: "My eyesight is never bad...... There are not many good men in the world, you should cherish them."

Under the hood, Qin Ziyin felt that his hand was gently pinched, and with tears in his eyes, his face quietly turned red

Qin Menghuan: "It's a pity that I understand it's too late......"

The cotton curtain was lightly lifted, Tang Gen let go to the side, Chen Sheng poked his head in, put a handkerchief on his shoulder, and said dumbly: "The water is boiled."

A couple of people in the room turned their heads to look at him, and when they saw his face, they all wanted to cry

Qin Menghuan smiled and pinched the hands of his nephew and niece: "It's time to wash your hair, you help me turn around."

Qin Ziyin and Qin Juexiang tearfully dragged the four corners of the mattress under her, lifted it slightly, and then moved to the edge of the kang after spinning it flat, so that her head hung slightly on the outside of the edge of the kang Chen Sheng brought a small stool and hot water and put it under the bottom Squatted down by himself Took the head that Qin Ziyin was holding and put down Qin Menghuan's long hair

The edge of the kang is very high, the small stool is very short, and after the hair is put down, only the end is immersed in the water, Tang Gen wanted to come over and help carry the basin, Chen Shengyi waved his hand, picked up the basin with one hand, lifted it up, hooked the small stool with his feet, and slightly pulled it back, sat on it, and then put the basin on his knees, and put the front of his chest against the edge of the basin, so that the height was just right

Looking at the way he washed Qin Menghuan's hair, anyone can understand: Qin Menghuan is very comfortable at this time, and Chen Shengyi's posture is extremely embarrassed It is not easy to clamp the basin like this But he crossed his elbows, supported his head with one hand, and shampooed his hair with the other, and he didn't splash a drop of water

There was a tenderness in the sound of the water, so much so that every time people saw him pick up the water, they felt that his finger was gently holding it in the bottom of his heart

Looking at this picture, Yan Linyuan's tear-stained face showed a smile and said softly: "Menghuan, I'm leaving."

Qin Menghuan winked at the roof, just nodded and smiled slightly: "Take care"

Yan Linyuan glanced at her for the last time, turned his head suddenly, picked up the curtain, and walked out of the door quickly to go down the mountain Yan Shumei and Xiao Jin picked up the warm air and chased after her

The weather was cold and the water cooled quickly, but Chen Shengyi washed his hair before the water warmed up

He held Qin Menghuan's head, put the basin on the ground, took off the hand towel from his shoulder, dried it for her, and wrapped it Qin Ziyin touched the collar when he took over and sent it to the pillow, and there was no wet mark

The blood on Qin Menghuan's face darkened slightly, and she asked, "When is it?"

Chen Shengyi: "It's about time to enter the sea."

Qin Menghuan smiled: "It's been a long time...... I didn't go out to see the moon, take me to see it, okay?"

Qin Juexiang said: "Fourth aunt, it's so cold outside, you just finished washing your hair, what moon to see, besides, it's all clouds and fog outside, you can't see the moon at all."

Qin Menghuan smiled and didn't speak, Chen Sheng took a basin and a small stool out, and when he came back, there were two more sets of clothes in the crook of his arm: a black gauze coat A set of white fox fur with a snow hat and a soft coat He also carried two big rabbit fur shoes in his hand He put his clothes on the kang and the shoes were also upside down and put them next to him While the clothes were warm, he also went out and put on the thick clothes Come back and wait for a while, touch his hand Feel the temperature Then he uncovered the quilt for Qin Menghuan and helped her dress

Qin Juexiang's little face wrinkled Look at him Look at the eldest sister I have something to say, but I know It is useless to say it Chang Sihao noticed that when the quilt was uncovered, there was an ebony comb that was obliquely inserted on the lower edge of Qin Menghuan's neckline, and on the slightly exposed corner, there was a swallowtail mark that was half gilded and peeled

Chen Shengyi dressed Qin Menghuan neatly, buttoned up a snow hat, leaned out his hand, gently held her in his arms and walked out Chang Sihao followed him to the outhouse Seeing that he got out of the courtyard but didn't stop Still walking outside the courtyard Busy following to the courtyard At this time, Chen Shengyi had already gone out of the door His body was half exposed on the right wall and was striding west In front of him was a misty path leading to the higher part of the mountain Chang Sihao couldn't let go of it in his heart and hurriedly handed the child to Qin Ziyin and said, "You stay, I'll take a look at it" Qin Ziyin hugged the child and watched her husband follow and gradually disappeared into the snow and mist Suddenly in a panic, he looked back at Jue Xiang and Tang Gen at the bottom of the stairs, hurriedly handed over the child to Qin Jue Xiang, and said, "You two go into the house, stay well, don't come out" Turning his head, he hurriedly chased after him

Chang Sihao didn't want to follow too closely to disturb them, so he kept his footsteps, separated by a distance that could roughly be seen between the two of them, and saw Chen Shengyi walking, as he walked, it seemed that his spine was slowly straightening, and he also had strength

Qin Menghuan lay horizontally in Chen Shengyi's arm crook with his head leaning against him Watching his two feet tremble outside his other arm The wind whined The vision was covered by a warm snow hat He could only see a narrow world like a crack Occasional snowflakes drifted in as if hiding in a sheltered cave And he was a snake about to hibernate

She felt a little tired, blinked sleepily, and muttered, "Haven't you arrived......?"

Chen Shengyi also stopped at this time In front of them is a steep snow wall Where it is thinned by the wind, the ice edge that has not been melted for thousands of years can be faintly seen inside Further up, it is the top of Siguniang Mountain If you want to climb up, even if you use an ice pick lasso, it may not be possible

When I turned my head sideways, the clouds covered the snow, and my feet seemed to be a cold abyss

"Dream ......"

He was a little apologetic: "It looks like I can't see the moon tonight."

As he spoke, he turned sideways so that Qin Menghuan could at least look in the direction of the moon

However, Qin Menghuan didn't turn his head to look out, but leaned into his chest

"You know what, I don't know who I love the most?"

Her voice was as soft as smoke

Chen Shengyi: "Really?"

"Hmm"

“...... It's a dream."

"It's a dream that I follow everywhere I go......"

When she finished saying this, Chen Shengyi felt that his arm sank slightly

"Dream ......"

He didn't dare to look down, and he didn't have to

"Menghuan"

"Ahh

He slammed his knees on the ground, holding the corpse in his hand and hissing wildly into the sky, and in an instant his eyes burst with a roar, and two lines of blood were like spears and arrows, marking out of his eye sockets and shooting straight into the sky

The sound waves spread far and wide, and in an instant, thousands of mountains and snow shattered, and the fog opened up

The sky is clear and quiet, and the wind disappears

month

It's the moon

A clear moon

Menghuan, do you see that the clear moon floated in the sky big and brightly, and it floated on the other side

Thirty steps away, Chang Sihao let go of his hands covering his ears, tried to open his eyes wide, and saw two blood bands draped down Chen Sheng's cheeks and two, and there was a cracking sound of ice in the haze

It's going to be an avalanche

"Big brother" Chang Sihao roared and rushed forward, and at the same time, he heard the sound of "click", and the ice and snow were mixed with thousands of fogs, as if the cold star waterfall was shattered, pouring down the sky, swallowing Chen Shengyi and Qin Menghuan in an instant

The snow waves are like rolling waves rushing down the mountain Chang Sihao still wanted to rush up to save people Suddenly heard Qin Ziyin's mournful voice behind him: "Xianggong"

Turning his head sharply, the Yin'er flowers on the mountain road are only five zhang away from him This time to turn around, the snow will arrive behind him, and he will stick to the vest with a bang

Chang Sihao's breathing was tight, and he knew that it was not good, and he made a chicken leg step strongly, spun his toes and kicked the ground, and rushed down with the snow, stretched out his left hand in the air and grabbed Qin Ziyin, turned around and protected her into his arms, and pulled out ten miles of time with his right hand

At this moment, the two people in the air are like butterflies flying under the wall of waves, flapping their wet wings and tumbling, about to be swallowed up, and they will fall Chang Sihao stretched out his arms and waved Ten miles of time, the sword light is like the moon, and the two of them are bent in the air again The landing point in front of them is a snow slope with an arc Chang Sihao understands: There must be a snow ditch with extremely deep snow If you fall on it, you must fall down

But being in the air, unable to do it on his own, he couldn't think about it, and he was about to fall into it, and suddenly he came to his wit, and the sword probed, and the sword light bloomed like a flower, and the two people were carried by the sword flower, like a drill with a hole, and spun and plunged into the snow

The snow behind them flashed by, filling in their landing spots, and with a roaring sound, like thunder, rushing straight down the mountain
