Qilao Mountain is located in the northwest of the capital. It is the most barren and desolate mountain range around the capital. The mountain is named for its seven continuous peaks. Although it is neither magnificent nor beautiful, it covers a very large area. It completely blocked the road from the northwest to the capital.And under the white snow in winter, it looks even bigger and deeper, and it can almost submerge half of an adult's leg with one step.In such a mountain, looking for a baby who is only one year old and a little leopard who doesn't have the slightest ability to survive in the wild is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Jiang Ling has fallen into a half-mad state, he searched all night, his voice has long been hoarse, but he is still searching around with bloodshot eyes, unable to listen to what others say.

After finally waiting for Leman and the others to come, Yu Chiming felt that no matter what, he couldn't let his uncle go on like this, "Uncle Man, please go up and talk to my uncle, he will have trouble like this."

Le Man didn't answer, but turned his head and said to the guards who followed, "Smack him, take him away."

At this moment, it was pointless for him to say anything, if he couldn't find Ah Tan, Jiang Ling wouldn't stop.He is also a father, so he can better understand the huge self-blame and strong anxiety in Jiang Ling's heart.

Seeing the guards help Jiangling out of the stunned state, Leman told them his family's address in Kaoshan Village, "Qingmoss, send him back to rest, Xiaoyuqianer, you have worked hard all night. If you watch the heavy snow for a long time, you will get snow blindness." Yes, you all go to rest first, we will continue to search."

He thought that the child might be lost in the mountains, so he had already brought Hai Dongqing and a large number of hounds.It's just that Ah Tan didn't put special spices on him when he lost it, so he could only take some of his old clothes to try his luck.

Starting from the location identified by Xiuzhu, Leman led the people to start a new round of search.According to her confession, little Ah Tan was already awake at the time, but she had been starved for two days and had no strength. Later, when the little leopard rushed out, Xiuzhu thought that she would not live long if she left the child, so she left Ah Tan , so as to get rid of the little leopard.Although the little leopard won't hurt anyone, the way it bared its teeth and cracked its mouth is still quite scary.

This statement was later confirmed by Fushen. It found a thorn bush with leopard and mink hair hanging on it. Although it was only a small clump for adults, it was extremely difficult for them to turn over. I became even more anxious, where would these two little things go in the snow-covered mountains?

The folks from the mountain village also came to help. After they were rescued, Yu Chiming didn't want them to feel intimidated, so he made up a white lie.He lied that they were all servants of the Hou Mansion, and they were brothers and friends with Jiang Ling, and they came to help because their child was stolen.

This lie was consistent with what Jiangling and the others said before. The simple folks had no doubts, and after recovering their strength, they came out to help one after another.

In particular, the village head, Li Huaishan, Mrs. Hu and other good friends worked harder. Xiuzhu had already been sent back to the village ancestral hall to take care of her.

"Leman, listen to me." The village chief found him out of breath, and he had no time to care about his good clothes, so he just said the most important thing, "Although this mountain is poor, there are many tigers and leopards, especially Wolves love to pick up children. Don’t think that my words are not pleasant to you, uncle, but if the child is really lost at night, we really have to go to those wolf dens to look for it, maybe it can save a life.”

Leman's lips turned white immediately, and he couldn't listen at all.Zhuang Jingyu pulled him aside, and Yu Chirui, who was exhausted enough, went up to meet him panting heavily, "Uncle, let's not care whether it sounds good or not, do you know where the wolf's den is? Let's go right away."

The village head nodded, and called his son Changgui from behind, "He is young and walks fast, let him take you there."

"A few more people, come with me to another place." Zhao Erga and his brother also stood up. He is very strong. In the past, he often went to the mountains to catch hares when it snowed. He was also considered a half-hunter.Xiuzhu almost killed everyone in the village this time, and their family felt extremely guilty.

Then divide the troops into several groups and dispatch quickly.Zhuang Jingyu and Le Man followed Zhao Erga, and Yu Chirui led people to follow Changgui. When they found it in the evening, they finally found Zhao Erga along the way.

They found a wolf's den, dripping with frozen blood, two wolf carcasses and a lot of leopard fur, and even here, they found a piece of Ah Tan's clothes.

Leman couldn't take it anymore and turned his back. The bright red blood made him sick and frightened him even more.His little Ah Tan, his little Ah Tan!His mind couldn't think, and even breathing seemed so difficult.Every time I swallowed, it felt like my lungs were going to be cut apart.

Zhao Erga comforted him loudly, "It's all right! The child should be all right. If something happens, there won't be only wolf corpses left in this den. I can't see that your leopard is quite capable of fighting, and it killed both of them. You should hide, right?"

impossible!Le Man suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Their little leopard can't even kill chickens. How could he beat wolves?Look carefully at the remaining leopard fur, there is no trace of dye on it, it should be another leopard.

Could it be that Xiao Ah Tan and the others escaped from the wolf's den and were dragged away by the leopard?

Fu Shen suddenly got out of his sleeve, and without caring about revealing his whereabouts, he grabbed the hem of his clothes and crawled towards somewhere.

Did it smell the children?Le Man hurriedly followed.It was getting dark, and the pine oil torches lit by people were winding into dragons in the mountains.With undying hope, continue to pursue.

Jiang Ling woke up faintly.

It's completely dark, where is this?He was stunned for a while, before he saw the familiar old wooden bed and the double bed next to it, which was his and Leman's former home.Right now, it is their temporary resting place.

Turning over, I saw that Yu Chiming, who was tired all night, was sleeping on the other side of the big bed, and Moss and the others were also sleeping soundly on the temporary floor outside. There was a warm brazier in the middle of the room, and there were folks on the table. Pancakes and hot porridge from them.

Looking from a distance, the lights of the people in the mountains are still on. Everyone must be still helping to find the child, right?Jiang Ling felt a throbbing pain in his heart, thinking that time would stop here. He and Le Man didn't return to the capital, they just worked as ordinary farmers in the mountains, watching their children grow up well.

If he could return his A-Tan, he would rather give up all his glory and wealth, and everything, and only hope that his little A-Tan and little A-Tai are safe and sound.

The warmth and the smell of food in the room made Jiang Ling feel a strong sense of guilt. His little Ah Tan was still in the ice and snow, life and death were uncertain, how could he enjoy the warmth and food here?

No!Enduring the sadness that was about to cry, Jiang Ling gently pushed open the back door of the main room.The cool air cleared his mind a lot, he let out a sigh of relief, Jiang Ling thought, maybe it's time for him to pick up Leman's shift.

Thinking about the food on the table, Jiang Ling couldn't help but go to the vegetable field in the back garden to have a look. After clearing away the snow, there were still some cabbages and radishes that were not damaged by the frost. Aunt Hu and the others must have come to take care of them often.

Leman is a southerner, and he likes to eat fresh vegetables. He has no appetite these days, so if he cooks some, he can eat two more meals when he comes back, and Jiangling can also relieve some guilt in his heart.

While picking vegetables, he suddenly felt something staring at him.

Turning sideways, a pair of grayish-brown eyes with the unique coldness and cruelty of beasts were firmly locked on him under the faint snow light.

Just when Leman followed Fushen to the little leopard's lair, but regrettably found nothing, the fireworks and firecrackers that would only be set off during the New Year were heard in the Kaoshan village.

What's going on here?All the people looked up in confusion, and in the mountain wind, they heard an angry shout from a distance, "The child... found it... Ah Tan... came back..."

Did he hear wrong?His heart was full of ecstasy and he couldn't restrain himself, but he was also afraid that the next second would be just an illusion, so he trembled with anxiety.

"That's right, it's Jiangling's voice!" Zhuang Jingyu was overjoyed, and listened again, becoming more and more sure, "It's Jiangling's voice!"

His kung fu is good, since he said everything was right, there must be nothing wrong!

Leman ran wildly, his child, his Ah Tan!

When I saw that little guy again, he had just eaten half a pot of rice porridge, took a hot bath, snored a little in Jiang Ling's arms, and slept soundly.

There were many scratches on the little hands and feet, and there were two tubes of clear snot hanging from it. It must have been caught in the cold, but fortunately, the child was fine, and it was true that it was little Ah Tan who had been missing for a few days.

Grateful and excited kisses fell on every inch of the child's skin, and tears of joy made Leman so excited that he couldn't care less about the eyes of others. He couldn't speak, and he could only kiss the lost and recovered child over and over again. , to confirm his existence.

Jiang Ling closed his eyes hard, blinking away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, wasn't he also ecstatic when he just saw Xiao Ah Tan?

Maybe it was really God's blessing. After the little leopard snatched little Ah Tan away from Xiuzhu, they lost their way in the forest for granted, and then naturally attracted hungry wolves, but when the little leopard was scared stupid With a low growl, it summoned its father and brothers.

To say that animals are really smart, after saving them, Leopard's father knew that the pair of idiots could not last too long in the wild, so he brought a branch to grow, and let the little Atan, who was cold, hungry and unable to walk, sit on it. Go up, and then lead the sons like pulling a sled, walked for a full day and night, and then dragged the pair of idiots back.

Fortunately, Dr. Zhang didn't take the cloak from little A'tan at that time, and fortunately, little A'tan knew to hold the little leopard to keep warm in the cold, otherwise the little guy would be able to come back, but he must have frozen to death long ago.

But there are still varying degrees of frostbite on the hands and feet. It may take a long time to recuperate, but Leman is already extremely grateful to God. As long as the person can come back and still be hugged alive in his arms, what else can he ask for?

Shouchun passed away on the third day after Xiao Atan returned home, and he passed away very peacefully.

The Marquis Mansion of Yong'an was covered with white cloth and green curtains overnight, and even Emperor Xuan came to mourn in plain clothes.For the woman who sacrificed her life's happiness to get married for the benefit of the royal family, I will offer the last incense stick.

Before dying, Shouchun left only one last wish, "Don't bury me with your father, three of us, it's too crowded. Ruier, Dinger, don't blame mother, I know your father is a great hero, and mother also knows you I have many problems, and I have done many wrong things, but if there is an afterlife, no matter how bad I am, I will never marry him."

These slightly angry words made the whole family cry.

Although Shouchun has been the wife of the Hou's mansion all her life, she has been very beautiful, but as a wife, she has never won Yuchi Linfeng's heart.This is the greatest tragedy for a woman.

Yu Chi Rui and Yu Chi Ding could understand their mother's heart, but if they buried their mother outside alone, how could they bear it?

In the end it was their brothers who begged Emperor Xuan together. The emperor was grateful for all that Aunt Shouchun had sacrificed for the royal family, so he made an exception and decided to welcome her back to the imperial mausoleum. Princess Chun is the one who made Brother Yuchi's wish come true.

After 49 days of being suspended, Shouchun's coffin was sent to the royal temple, and the burial ceremony will only be held after the mausoleum is completed.

After everything is over, the green mantle and white cloth are removed at home, but the great sense of grief still lingers in people's hearts.Yu Chirui has already made a statement that according to the system, the whole family needs to observe filial piety for three years and is not allowed to be an official.

Emperor Xuan approved the report, but called him and Jiang Ling into the palace alone, and had a long secret talk.

When he returned home, Bai Yong told him, "Guoshan Village sent someone to say that Xiuzhu is dead, died of illness."

After Ah Tan came back alive, Le Man didn't want to do more crimes for the child, so he sent Dr. Zhang to jail, and handed Xiuzhu over to the villager.

Li Huaishan soon found out the truth about Xiuzhu's illness. After the villagers discussed it, they imprisoned Xiuzhu in a small temporary shed behind the ancestral hall, provided her with a bowl of rice every day, but did not give her medical treatment.Xiuzhu soon became ill, and her whole body was covered with malignant sores, and she died in the end.The village burned her and the house to ashes, dug a deep pit on the spot and buried it, laid it on stone slabs, and let people trample on it, as a warning for the whole village.

Fang Shaohong was already pregnant, and Li Huaishan came to the capital to ask Luo Huairen for medical advice, and bought some things for children to bring the news.

Because Leman was keeping his filial piety, it was inconvenient to meet him in person, so he asked Luo Huairen to send a lot of anti-abortion medicinal materials, which was a kind gesture.

Yu Chirui glanced at his younger brother, "Are you going to tell him yourself?"

Jiang Ling nodded.

In early spring and February, the north is still cold and cold.But the branches have already seen the first buds of apricot blossoms, and the ground is also full of new green.

Taking advantage of the sunny day today, Leman took the two children to weed in the garden.After Shouchun passed away, her residence was preserved, and not a single plant or tree was touched.She loves flowers by nature, and now Leman is going to pull out the weeds in her garden so that the flowers will bloom more brilliantly.

"Is little Ah Tan here?"

"Here I am."

"Is Little Artest here?"

"exist!"

"Is that bag here?"

"Woooo."

All three of the father and son laughed. Looking back at their son, Le Man could concentrate on his work.Ever since Ah Tan lost it once, he has watched the two children very closely, for fear that one of them will be lost in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Ling's throat was slightly choked when he saw it, it was all his fault, otherwise why would the uncle be like a snake?After staring at the father and son for a while, he said softly, "Aman."

"What's the matter?" Le Man patted the mud on his hands and stood up.This was the first formal conversation between the two since they brought their children back.

Jiang Ling took a deep breath, looked into his eyes and said, "I'm leaving."

Writer's words:

Little Ah Tan: It’s not easy, I’m finally home!

Little Leopard: I was miserable, and my brothers joked that I was useless.

Xiao Atan: I don’t understand, I don’t understand.

Little Leopard: Anger, bully me, can't speak human words, can't you be cute?The Len family will too! (Wags his tail vigorously) Asking for tickets, asking for gifts, writing is so long, please encourage!

Audience: Heck, the one who wags his tail is a puppy, right? Why doesn’t this silly kid not learn, but learn this all the time?
