Huaxi Chronicle

The next day.

Yan Cong'an and his party headed for Baoshanzhai.

Early this morning, when Xun Feibai saw Yan Cong'an, he was slightly startled at first, and then a little ashamed.

Yan Cong'an was wearing a light blue cross-neck skirt today, and the skirt was also embroidered with auspicious clouds.The narrow-sleeved round-neck gown on Xun Feibai was made of the same brocade, and the style matched it very well.

Yan Cong'an walked towards Xun Feibai with a faint smile and said, "Yesterday I didn't think so, but today I see how elegant and elegant Fei Bai is in this outfit."

Xun Feibai's women's narrow-sleeved round-neck gown is different from the men's clothes, which are narrower and narrower. The Xun Feibai lining is more slender. Compared with wearing a long gown, it is less bookish and more heroic.The light blue robe is demure and elegant, coupled with Xun Fei's white and delicate face, he looks extraordinarily handsome.

Xun Feibai saw Yan Cong'an walking towards him with his eyebrows slightly bent, the hem of his skirt fluttering gently in the wind, elegant yet with a hint of agility, he boasted: "Cong'an is even more elegant and peerless."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the courtyard together.

Outside the courtyard, the treasure box had already been arranged properly, and the group of people left for Baoshanzhai only after the two got into the carriage.

After driving for an hour, the carriage arrived at Yulong Mountain.As soon as you enter the mountain, the breeze from the mountain blows through the window lattice, bringing bursts of refreshing coolness.Not long after entering Yulong Mountain, Baoshan Village can be seen from a distance.But the mountain road was winding and winding, and the carriage walked for another hour before arriving at the gate of the cottage.

When the carriage arrived, the younger brother Baozhang in the treasure box had already been waiting at the gate of the village for a long time.

After setting up the itinerary the day before yesterday, Bao Xi asked someone to bring the letter back to the village.There are three siblings in Baohe's family, Baohe is the elder sister, the second sister Baoyi is 16 years old this year, and the youngest brother Baozhang is 12 years old this year.

Baozhang was so far away that he saw the treasure box driving the car, he called out loudly: "Sister!"

Baoshan Village was built on the mountain, and the carriage could only be parked in the open space at the entrance of the village. After passing through the gate, the treasure box stopped the carriage, and Baozhang ran to him quickly, and called out again.

Baohe got out of the carriage, patted Baozhang on the head, and said, "Brother! There are still guests in the carriage, let's talk about it when we get home."

Baozhang nodded in response, and stood beside the treasure box, looking at the carriage curiously.

Xun Feibai lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, then turned around and helped Yan Cong'an get out of the carriage.

Baozhang looked at these two delicate beauties with a hint of curiosity and embarrassment in his heart.

The mother in the treasure box family died young, and the father used to rely on hunting for a living.Eight years ago, his father passed away due to illness, leaving only three siblings in the family.The siblings are young, and the family has no property, so they cannot make ends meet.Because of this, the treasure box came out of Baozhai Mountain to earn money to subsidize the family.

Bao Hei's father was a martial arts instructor, and he was very skilled. Bao Hei learned some boxing from his father since he was a child.

Xun Feibai looked at the dark-skinned young man in ancient and modern Qiang clothes, and said with a faint smile, "Are you the elder brother Baozhang of the treasure box?"

Seeing Xun Fei laughing at Yan Yan, Baozhang blushed instantly, responded, and said, "Second Sister has prepared meals at home, and I will lead you there."

Before the words were finished, people ran away.

Seeing this, Xun Feibai didn't care, and looked away with a faint smile.

The treasure box opened his mouth and said: "The stockade is built at the foot of the mountain, and the carriage can only park in this open space. My house is not far ahead." After speaking, the treasure box pointed to the house at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

Along the direction of the finger of the treasure box, hundreds of stone houses are built along the mountain. With the ups and downs of the mountain, the layers are layered and patchwork, which is very spectacular.

Baoshan Village is surrounded by mountains, and the terraced fields on both sides of the village follow the mountains, stacking one after another, directly reaching the sky.

Several people passed through the open space and came to a wooden arched bridge, under which a small river formed by the confluence of mountain streams flowed through.After crossing the bridge, there is also an open space.The same size as the open space on the other side of the bridge.In the middle of the open space, there is a circular high platform, which is two feet high and more than four feet wide.

The courtyard of Treasure Box House is on the east side of the round platform, and the bamboo fence outside the courtyard is connected to the wooden courtyard gate.The treasure box opened the door and led everyone into the courtyard. The courtyard is not too small, with a square of ten feet.In the south of the courtyard is a green brick and tile house, with a wing room on the east and west sides.There are two stone stoves on the middle side of the courtyard, white smoke rises from the stoves, and the smell of rice comes out.Not far from the stove, there is a stone table.

The two people standing by the stove are Baoxi's second sister and younger brother, Baoyi and Baozhang.When Bao Yi saw the people coming in, he put down the wooden shovel in his hand, and walked towards them with a smile on his face.

Bao Yi walked up to the crowd, bowed down to the crowd generously, looked at the treasure box and called out happily: "Sister."

Treasure Box frowned, turned around and introduced the group of people behind him: "This is sister's main house, Third Lady. Next to her is Third Lady's fiancée, Miss Xun."

Bao Yi bowed to the two of them and saluted, "Third lady, little lady Xun."

Yan Cong'an smiled lightly and said, "Don't be so polite, it's because our visit this time caused a lot of disturbance."

Bao Yi laughed and said, "Come in quickly, I have tidied up the house."

The treasure box led Yan Cong'an and two people to the east room of the main house, and said to them: "There are not enough rooms in the house, and the third lady lives in the east room with Mrs. Xun these few days."

Hearing that he was going to sleep with Yan Cong'an, Xun Fei's face turned red.She turned her head and looked at the courtyard, and there were indeed no extra rooms.

Xun Feibai turned to look at Yan Cong'an again, only to see that she had walked into the room with a natural expression.

Yan Cong'an wanted to share the bed with Xun Feibai, the treasure box had already told her.Yan Cong'an naturally had no objection, if she refused, then these people would not be here today.

Although I only lived here for three to five days, I brought everything including bed sheets and bedding.

Yuzhu helped the two make the bed, and went to the stove to help.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Yuzhu put the food on the table in the main room, and served Yan Cong'an and Xun Feibai to eat.

After a few people had lunch, the guards moved the luggage on the carriage into the yard, and then returned to Binzhou first, and came to pick up a few people back to the city after four days.

It was a coincidence that a few people came at the time, tomorrow is the bonfire festival of the ancient and modern Qiang people.The second day after the bonfire festival is Baoyi's marriage engagement day, but the marriage engagement ceremony of ancient and modern Qiang people is not complicated and can be completed in one morning. Several people are going to wait for Baoyi to complete the marriage engagement before leaving for Binzhou at noon.

After the meal, Bao Yi will discuss with Bao He about getting married, and Yu Zhu will sort out the things he brought.

Xun Feibai heard from Bao Yi that the people in the village were very kind and would not crowd out outsiders, so she thought about going out for a walk, and by the way, she asked where Bao Chunsheng's home was, and they were friends, since they came to Baoshan Village , naturally want to visit.

"I want to go to the village and visit my classmates and friends. Do you want to come together from Encore?" Xun Feibai asked.

"Since I'm here, I have to go out for a walk. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to stay in the house." Yan Cong'an responded with a smile.

The two went out together, the mountain was humid all the year round, and a lot of moss grew on the stone road.Yan Cong'an had some difficulty walking, and almost slipped and fell accidentally.

Seeing this, Xun Feibai rushed forward to grab her.Unexpectedly Yan Cong'an was pulled by her, and fell straight into her arms.

With the warm fragrance and jade in her arms, and the familiar cold fragrance lingering in her nose, Xun Feibai somehow remembered what happened in the quiet room that day.She hadn't thought of it for a long time, but now that the memory came flooding back, Xun Feibai blushed immediately.

Recently, Xu Shi often stayed with Yan Cong'an, and Xun Feibai found that for some reason, when he got closer to Yan Cong'an, he would feel a little flushed and his heart beating like a small drum.

Listening to her beating heartbeat, Yan Cong'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, straightened his body, and came out of her arms.

It wasn't until the faint fragrance was far away that Xun Feibai regained his composure.Fearing that Yan Cong'an would slip again, he stretched out his hand and pulled her forward together.

Yan Cong'an's eyebrows were slightly curved, and he was in a good mood.

Yan Cong'an's hand is soft like a barb, Xun Feibai dared to hold it weakly, she suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and looked at it in a blink of an eye.

Although the time for cooking has passed, every household is smoking.

Tomorrow, on the first day of the Bonfire Festival, every household has to prepare a variety of food, such as glutinous rice in bamboo tubes, roasted meat, fried radish cakes, glutinous rice cakes, roasted chicken, etc. You can make whatever you want at home. The quantity is not limited.People with poor conditions at home can make a few pancakes, and some families with better conditions will deliberately kill pigs and sheep to make roast suckling pigs and whole sheep.

In the early morning of tomorrow, the villagers will put the tables and chairs in front of the door, and put the prepared things on the table in front of the door to entertain the people who come and go.

The two walked for half an hour and arrived at Bao Chunsheng's house.

Xun Feibai raised his hand and knocked on the door, but there was no answer for a long time. Instead, the neighbor's aunt opened the courtyard door and saw the two of them and explained, "The two girls are here to look for Chunsheng? He left the door in a hurry this morning and is not here now." at home."

Xun Feibai thanked him, but didn't stay any longer, and led Yan Cong'an to Bao's house.

There are row upon row of houses on the mountain, and there are occasional scattered in front of and behind the houses, or patches of green bamboo, which contrast with the scattered houses. Some stone roads have a shallow ravine, and the spring water on the mountain flows down the river. The jingle of spring water, mixed with the rustling of bamboo leaves blown by the wind, is particularly pleasant to the ear.

Xun Feibai found an open space to stand still, looked sideways at Yan Cong'an, and asked with a smile, "How does Cong'an feel about this place?"

The two now walked to the middle of Baoshan village, only a distance away from Bao's house, but Baoshan village was originally built on the mountainside of Yulong mountain, and the view here is wide, and the foot of Yulong mountain cannot be seen from a distance.

Yan Cong'an looked at her and said with a faint smile: "Climb high and look far away, and you can see mountains and rivers in the distance, and you can have a panoramic view, which is pleasing to the eye."

The mountain wind blew through Yan Cong'an's hair, and occasionally a few bundles of black hair fluttered in the wind.Xun Feibai stretched out his hand unconsciously, and the blue silk brushed over his fingertips. The soft, light, tingling feeling directly reached Xun Feibai's heart from his fingertips in an instant.

His heart trembled slightly, and Xun Feibai came back to his senses in an instant, only to see Yan Cong'an looking at her with a slight smile, his eyebrows curved.

Xun Fei felt ashamed, his face flushed immediately, he wanted to fake a cough, but somehow he choked himself.

Cough, cough, cough.

Xun Feibai hurriedly patted his chest to relieve his breath.

Seeing this, Yan Cong'an stretched out his hand and patted Xun Feibai's back to help her calm down, and said helplessly, "Why are you so careless."

After Xun Feibai stopped coughing, the two went down the mountain and returned to Bao's house.
