Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky Chapter 17: 、A Dream of Wushan Long 4
After coming down from the top of the mountain, Feng Duying realized that she was taken to Qianbi Mountain by Jiuyao in her sleep, and Qingniao flew the two of them to the other courtyard, where Nangongxiu had already arrived with two hundred guards, and there were also others who arrived with her. Ye Lianzhou, Xiangyi and 20 servants and maids suddenly became popular in the empty and quiet courtyard. Director Zhao hurriedly cooperated with Nan Gongxiu and Ye Lianzhou to direct the guards, servants and maids to settle down.
Fortunately, Nan Gongxiu and the others arrived overnight, and did not disturb the people in the mountains and down the mountain. I found something unusual in the other courtyard, saw people coming and going in the other courtyard, and only that Mr. Yi who went back to his hometown to visit his relatives a few days ago came back.
In the past, Feng Duying would definitely not be happy to see such a hard worker, but after what happened in Sanshi Village, she no longer opposed the guards and their followers. When going down the mountain, Jiuyao told her that she had discussed with the Prime Minister before leaving the palace. Given her current physical condition, she really needed to rest in peace, so the affairs of the court were temporarily handled by the Prime Minister and other ministers.
Whether Feng Duying listened to Jiuyao's words on the top of the mountain and how much he listened to is unknown, but since that day, the two have lived in Qianbi Mountain.
Although the other courtyard is not as elegant and magnificent as the palace, when it was first built, it rose up against the mountain and hovered on the mountainside like a spiral. The scale of the manor is huge, if you walk from the bottom to the top, it will take more than half a day. There were nearly a hundred servants and guards in the garden.
Apart from sleeping every day, Jiuyao is inseparable from Feng alone, walking around with her in other courtyards with her.
Walk through the long corridor, count how many pillars there are, and how many colorful phoenixes are carved on them, walk through the moss-covered tree-lined path, look at how many bamboos there are along the way, and then go to see him in other places. The vegetable field set up in the courtyard, the peach trees that were harvested by the fence...
If he wandered to the flower garden and saw the gardener trimming the flower branches and the court lady cutting chrysanthemums and putting them in vases, he would take Feng Duying and sit down at a random place beside him, chatting with the gardener about this with great interest. How to cut the flower branches, how to get rid of the pests, how to prevent freezing in late autumn and winter... I turned around and talked with the maids about how many inches to cut the flowers, how much water to put in the bottle, and how to change the water every few days. How to match the colors of the flowers... Although Feng Duying is not interested in this at all, Jiuyao always finds a way to keep her from getting away, and then pulls her to work with the gardener to prune and pick leaves, and to work with the court lady to cut branches and arrange flowers. Finally, I carried a bottle of chrysanthemums back to the room, and most of the day was spent in this way.
Just like this, I dragged Feng Duying around in the other courtyard for a few days, so that Feng Duying had no time to be alone quietly, and naturally had no time to think about the affairs of the court, or to think about those things. Irreparably sad. A few days passed like this, and the other courtyard was almost finished, so I stopped wandering around. Sometimes I take her to the study to read together, sometimes I take her to sit by the bridge and play the flute for her, sometimes I let Feng Duying lean under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and he comes to paint her...Feng Duying's body has been out of adjustment and too worn out recently , was already extremely tired, and now being dragged away by Jiuyao for a few days of doing nothing, the whole person's mental state was relaxed, so... often when he was reading a book, Feng Duying was lying on the table to sleep, he When he was playing the flute, Feng Duying fell asleep with his pillow on the railing. When he was painting, Feng Duying simply leaned on the soft couch and dreamed.
Jiuyao is full of joy when she looks at it, because she has hardly slept in these days, and she is so lethargic at this moment that she can catch up on sleep. Every day, he personally summoned the imperial physician and chef, and asked them to research one after another delicious medicinal diet to nourish Feng Duying's exhausted body. At first, I just stewed some nourishing soup, drank a bowl for each meal, and then had some light meals. Naturally, Feng Duying didn't eat much, and Jiuyao didn't force her, but after an hour, he ordered the kitchen again. I made a portion of it and gave it to her, and let her eat a little. She ate five or six meals a day. One bowl of rice is enough. When Jiuyao was overjoyed, he ordered to return to the normal three meals a day, and added some fish and other nasties. Naturally, the daily supplement soup was indispensable.
In this way, he ate, drank, slept and slept like this in the other hospital. After a month, Feng Duying ate normally and recovered completely, but he was lazy and didn't like to talk. He often looked at one place Then she was in a daze, and even looked at it and then fell asleep again. It is appropriate to use a common saying, "Sleep and eat, eat and sleep, like a pig", and there is no such thing as a shrewd and capable queen.
On this day, early in the morning, Jiuyao went to summon Feng Duying to get up, watched Ye Lianzhou help her get dressed, and took her to eat. After eating, he took it from Xiangyi's hand. A burden, and then dragged Feng Duying out of the other courtyard.
"Where are you taking me?" This was Feng Duying's first time going out after living in the other courtyard.
"Take you to the wind, flowers, snow and moon." Jiuyao turned around and smiled.
At the gate of the other courtyard, Ye Lianzhou looked at the two people who had walked away, and asked Nan Gongxiu: "Are you still leading someone to follow?"
Nan Gongxiu squinted a pair of crescent eyes, "The young couple are so sweet, how easy are you to follow?" He looked up, and saw a big blue bird flying in the blue sky, "Follow that big bird and you'll be fine." Alright."
Ren Jiuyao dragged her back and forth in the mountains, crossing streams for a while, passing through the woods for a while, and climbing small slopes for a while. After walking for about an hour, Jiuyao suddenly stopped, turned back and said to her, "Close your eyes. "
Feng Duying raised his eyebrows, didn't bother to ask, closed his eyes obediently, his hand was held by Jiuyao, and he followed his footsteps, and after a while Jiuyao stopped, and said softly: "Don't open your eyes, just listen."
She closed her eyes and listened attentively.
In the quiet mountain, first there was a "rustling" sound, as if the wind was blowing through the woods, and countless branches and leaves swayed with the wind, and then there was a "crashing" sound, as if many leaves were blown away from the branches by the wind , fluttering in the wind, and falling with the wind... rustling, wave after wave like a shallow tide.
"This is the sound of the wind." Jiuyao whispered in his ear, "Now take a deep breath slowly."
Hearing this, she held her breath, and then took a deep breath slowly. The wind blew through her nose, sending in a burst of fragrance of wood leaves, with a touch of earthy smell, and seemed to carry some floral fragrance. , and the smell of birds and beasts... It seems that many smells and flavors are mixed, but they are all in the wind.
"This is the smell of the wind." Jiuyao said softly again, and took her hand at the same time, "Now open your palm."
She opened her palms as she said, and the wind brushed against her palms and passed through her fingers. At that moment, she felt something lightly falling on her palm.
"This is the feeling of the wind." Jiuyao held her hand, "Now open your eyes."
Feng Duying opened his eyes, but after one glance, he closed them as if being stung.
"Aying." Jiuyao stretched out his arms to wrap her arms around her shoulders, and there was a calming force in his low voice, "You have heard and smelled it just now, there is no blood here, let alone dead people."
Feng Duying didn't open his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Why do you and I see these, I don't like it."
"Aying, this is completely different from what you don't like." Jiuyao's lips pressed against Feng Duying's ear so that the voice was so loud and warm, "This is the most beautiful thing in the world." A color of phoenix, the phoenix is reborn from this fiery red flame time and time again. A Ying, the world praises you as 'Phoenix', how can you bear this name, no matter how many times, no matter how painful, you But you can be reborn from this fire, stand up again, and come out."
The last sentence hit her ears, and Feng Duying couldn't help shaking her whole body, like a person who had been drowning in a black pool for a long time, suddenly a slit was knocked open on the top of her head, and a large amount of bright light shot in, so that she involuntarily surfaced and slowly opened her eyes. Eyes opened.
Entering the eyes again, it is a completely different feeling.
In front is a forest of maple trees, now covered with red maples, at a glance, it is a continuous crimson, the autumn wind blows, the maple trees are rustling, and the maple leaves are dancing like a swaying sea of fire. Many are flying with the wind, just like pieces of fireworks blooming in the air, and then flying down, so bright and dazzling, so dazzling and frightening.
"This is what the wind looks like." Jiuyao pointed to the red sea of flames that fluctuated with the wind, "The wind can be heard, smelled, touched, and seen." He held up Feng Duying's hand, "And After the wind passes, it will take some things away and leave some things behind.”
In Feng Duying's open palm lay a fiery red maple leaf.
After the wind passes, some will be taken away, and some will be left behind, so the autumn wind passing by her at this moment, what has it taken away from her, and what has it left behind?
"You're tired after walking for so long, let's sit down and watch." Jiuyao pulled Feng Duying and sat on the ground covered with red leaves, and then took out two paper bags from the bag, but it was a A bag of ginkgo osmanthus cake, a bag of gold shredded crisps, "Try this, Xiangyi learned how to make it, and see how it tastes." He took a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Feng Duying.
Feng Duying took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, held the maple leaf in his left hand, stared at the maple forest, and kept silent, but the expression on his face gradually relaxed, and the laziness that had been so obsessed with everything lately faded away Indifference.
Seeing her expression like this, Jiuyao feels at ease, and with a smile, picks up a piece of pastry and tastes it quietly.
The cool autumn wind blows gently, shuttles through the maple forest, brushes the temples of the two people's clothes, occasionally red leaves come with the wind, and fall on the shoulders of the two people's clothes, sometimes the wind blows in a hurry, and it will rustle A burst of red leaves fell, like red rain, really beautiful. And the two people in the red rain sat leaning against their backs, holding cakes in their hands, watching the wind blowing Ye Fei, looking so leisurely and calm.
At this moment, the wind in the mountain forest was blowing leaves, rustling as if playing a chic mountain music, but other than that, there was no sound, and it seemed so quiet, as if there were only the two of them in the world .
It was the first time since Jiuluo Mountain and Sanshi Village that the two of them had such a peaceful and peaceful state of mind.
Just leaning on it quietly like this, just watching it quietly like this, forgetting about the world outside the body, forgetting the time outside the mountain.
I don't know how long it took before Jiuyao stood up alone, "Let's go, let's go to see the flowers again."
