[Special Competition (Part 2)] Memories of Summer
Not long after, Sixi came to remind again, Duan Baiyue asked: "Then do you want to win or lose?"
Chu Yuan thought about it and said, "Win."
Duan Baiyue said: "I want to win, but I don't want to make the opponent too shameless, and I can't make those people in the court too jealous, right?"
Chu Yuan nodded.
"I see." Duan Baiyue said, "Go, you can deal with it yourself first, if you can't deal with it, I will help you."
Chu Yuan urged: "You have to be careful yourself."
Duan Baiyue smiled and watched him all the way out of the room. She also turned and jumped out of the window, heading towards the back mountain.
There were already a lot of people outside the Huaixiang Pavilion. When Chu Huang saw Chu Yuan approaching, he called him to his side with a smile and asked, "I was still talking about it just now. I'm here. Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Yeah." Chu Yuan nodded and sat on the chair on the other side. On the opposite side were four teenagers dressed as aliens, who should be the little prince brought by the Mobei tribe.
Not far away, Duan Baiyue jumped up and climbed a big tree, her figure was light and silent, and there were hundreds of imperial guards around, but no one noticed.
no There is no regret in the world to take medicine.
A nest of chicks chirped and opened their mouths to eat. Duan Baiyue poured a few worms into it. With this dazzling effort, there was already movement at the Huaixiang Pavilion, and only one prince came from Da Chu. , the other party has four people, although the age is similar, but the body shape is a full head. Duan Baiyue dragged her head with one hand, thinking that this group of people is not very kind, it's just four enemies and one, but they still go into battle together.
Fortunately, the kung fu that Chu Yuan learned was light and flexible. He usually practiced with more than a dozen martial masters. He didn't realize that there were too many opponents. With a wooden sword in his hand, he slashed the wind and fell flowers, and within a hundred strokes he had already repelled three people. The people of the Mobei clan were a little embarrassed, and Chu Huang smiled slightly, and put down the teacup in his hand as usual.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Duan Baiyue shook out a big worm from his sleeve, but before he had time to move, the wooden sword in Chu Yuan's hand had already fallen to the ground, and he staggered back a few steps to cover his arms, between his fingers. There was faint blood oozing out.
Duan Baiyue's eyes widened suddenly, the guards around him had already surrounded him, and the last prince of the Mobuei clan got up from the ground and wiped the dust on his face in embarrassment, not knowing whether it was a win or a loss this time. He was stabbed by Chu Yuan in the chest armor just now, and he could only take the opportunity to attack if he had a flaw - but if the wooden sword was replaced with a real weapon, I am afraid that he would not have the opportunity to attack again.
"Emperor Chu." Seeing that the Prince of Chu was injured, everyone in Mobei was also a little flustered. Fortunately, after the examination, the imperial doctor said that it was only a skin injury and that it would be fine after three or four days of rest. The Chu Emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay, how can there be no bumps in the competition, you don't have to blame yourself."
Duan Baiyue's head hurt when she saw that Chu Yuan was returning to his residence in a sedan chair, so he jumped down from the tree and followed him. Si Xi had just closed the door when the other window was pushed open, and a porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered. Chu Yuan sat beside the bed and said quietly, "That's the red date soup that the maid just sent."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Baiyue asked, "Why is the soup on the windowsill?"
Chu Yuan replied, "Prevent thieves."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan pouted: "It's hot, let it cool down." But he still didn't drink it.
"... I'll go to the street to buy it for you." Duan Baiyue squatted by the bed, "I haven't said yet, why would you let that stupid big guy slash you with a knife?"
Chu Yuan frowned: "Why do you call everyone taller than you stupid?"
Duan Baiyue replied, "Because they are taller than me."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Chu Yuan said: "Well."
Duan Baiyue pinched his arm, the bandage was not too thick, it seemed that no bones were injured.
Chu Yuan said: "I said I don't want to lose, but if you win too quickly, those people in Mobei may not be able to come down to the stage, so they can only suffer some injuries."
"Can't you wait for me to help you?" Duan Baiyue said, "The worms are all ready, the size of copper coins is full of patterns, looking at the extreme, biting each other in full view of the eyes, this battle will not win or lose, only Good luck to you."
Chu Yuan shook his head: "This is the best way now."
Duan Baiyue poked his arm, and applauded when he was bleeding.
"I came here to hide from my leisure time. If I am injured, I can stay in the small courtyard with peace of mind." Chu Yuan said, "Otherwise, if you are with your father every day, things will only be more than when you are in the palace."
"That's true." Duan Baiyue sat beside him, "This time it seems like a lot of people are coming, making noises, and there is nothing else to do all day long, just drinking and enjoying music, and listening to ding ding bang is annoying. "
Chu Yuan looked at him and smiled: "That's a famous musician in Da Chuding, I know you don't understand."
Oh. Duan Baiyue wrinkled her nose: "Do you still want to drink red date soup? I'll buy it for you on the street."
"The royal chef is in the backyard. Where to buy on the street?" Chu Yuan shook his head.
"That's different. Some things are delicious only when they are made by street stalls." Duan Baiyue said, "At the end of West Street, there is a sugar water shop. It is said that if you want to buy it, you have to queue up."
"You've only just come here, how did you find out so clearly?" Chu Yuan stood up.
Because I know you're picky. Duan Baiyue thought, send someone to ask more clearly in advance, and buy what you want to eat.
"Why don't you accompany me to the back mountain?" Chu Yuan suddenly asked.
"Back Mountain?" Duan Baiyue was puzzled, "What are you doing there, you are still injured."
"It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem to fight on horseback." Chu Yuan said, "As you said, there are bells and bells everywhere in this other courtyard, and it sounds annoying. Since it's summer, it is natural to find a leisurely place. Hell, anyway, I'm injured now, and the royal father won't make more demands."
"Also," Duan Baiyue agreed, "but you have to leave tomorrow, so take a good rest today."
Chu Yuan nodded, stretched out his finger and poked, and sent: "Then go buy red jujube soup."
Duan Baiyue grabbed his face, turned and jumped out of the window, very proud of the spring breeze.
Chu Yuan was silent for a while, pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and slumped backward on the bed, unwilling to move.
The red jujube soup I bought was very sweet, and an extra tablespoon of sugar was added to make it even sweeter. Chu Yuan's throat was itchy after eating a small half bowl, so he stuffed the remaining half back into his hands, rinsed his mouth and went to bed to rest. Duan Baiyue sat by the bed with a bowl and a spoon in her mouth. When the night fell, the drizzle fell, and Chu Yuan slept sweetly with his eyes closed. Duan Baiyue carefully put his injured arm back on the quilt, turned around and left the bedroom, and rode his horse towards the back mountain.
The guards of the Southwest Mansion are one big and two big, and they are chasing after them. I don't know what the prince wants to do.
It is not far from the courtyard to the back mountain. Even if the mountain road is rainy and slippery, Duan Baiyue still turned back before Chu Yuan woke up the next day, and changed into clean clothes, with the morning wind in the mountains in his hair. He Yexiang, holding a green blade of grass in his hand, shook it gently on his face.
Chu Yuan closed his eyes, and raised his hand was a slap in the face.
"Hey." Duan Baiyue dodged sideways, holding his wrist with a smile, "Get up, or you won't be able to run away when the emperor comes to summon you again."
"Royal father has no time to talk to me today." Chu Yuan sat beside the bed, "but you have to think of a way to let me get rid of these guards."
"You guards," Duan Baiyue handed him the towel, "it's better than a decoration—hiss."
Chu Yuan let go.
Duan Baiyue covered her ears: "I can't tell the truth?"
"New." Chu Yuan washed his face.
Duan Baiyue said: "Then you can't change such a group of people."
"I changed it for the sake of coming to Lushan." Chu Yuan looked at him, "If you change it to the guards and the Imperial Forest Army in the palace, I'm afraid you are still squatting outside the courtyard at this time, eh?"
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Baiyue said: "In order to facilitate me over the wall?"
Chu Yuan sat at the table: "I don't want to make trouble."
"Of course I won't cause you trouble." Duan Baiyue picked up the comb, looked at the person in the bronze mirror, and said eagerly, "I help you?"
Chu Yuan asked, "Is it possible?"
Duan Baiyue is certain: "Yes."
Chu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth: "Say it again."
Duan Baiyue said: "No." But it can be learned. After all, I have seen a lot of Aunt Jin combing Master's hair.
Chu Yuan stretched out his hand.
Duan Baiyue obediently returned the comb to him, jumped onto the beam by herself, sighed and watched Sixi trot into the house with a smile on her face.
pouted.
Still want to comb.
Although the two are young, their martial arts are not low. Moreover, in order to facilitate Duan Baiyue's entry and exit, Chu Yuan left all the masters in the palace before departure. The rest of the guards only knew how to patrol on time, so they slipped out of the courtyard with little effort. The people from the Southwest Mansion had already prepared two horses, and Chu Yuan jumped up, whipping the whip with one hand, and the smile in his eyes was more than one point.
"Don't go to the top of the mountain." Duan Baiyue rode his horse to catch up, holding his reins with one hand, "The arm is still injured, so don't use too much force."
"Where are you going then?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue jumped into the air and jumped on the back of his horse, grabbed the man from behind, turned the horse's head and headed south.
The guards of the Southwest Mansion looked at each other in dismay at the back, so casually running around with the prince, the prince knew that he was afraid that he would be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall again.
The scenery kept changing along the way, and he didn't know where he was going. Chu Yuan simply closed his eyes, didn't even bother to think about it, and let him take him all the way through the mountains, springs, streams, woodlands and flower fields, and finally stopped in a valley.
"It's here." Duan Baiyue whispered in his ear.
Chu Yuan opened his eyes, and there happened to be two butterflies walking by, landing firmly on the yellow stamens. Surrounded by green trees, the water is gurgling under the feet, the vines are climbing the mountain walls, and the pink-purple flowers are blooming.
"Do you like it or not?" Duan Baiyue asked Kai Gong Tian Wu to make up.
Chu Yuan looked around and said, "Lushan has come here seven or eight times, but I never knew there was such a scenery."
"I also just found it last night." Duan Baiyue took him off his horse, "I just wanted to find a quiet place, but I didn't expect to come here by accident. You like it."
"I haven't slept all night again?" Chu Yuan sat on the grass and squinted into the distance, "I just came out to relax, why should I be so tired, this Lushan is rolling up and down, and it's not easy to find a place where no one is disturbed."
"It's different." Duan Baiyue picked up a small flower from the ground and gently placed it in his palm, "It's rare to accompany you out, at least if it is a place with pleasant scenery, it will be more enjoyable to think about it when you go back to the southwest in the future."
Chu Yuan turned to look at him and asked, "Are you tired of running around all night?"
Duan Baiyue shook his head.
Chu Yuan said: "I will borrow your shoulder."
Duan Baiyue paused, then calmly changed: "Tired."
Chu Yuan smiled, moved and sat closer to him, leaning side by side, quietly watching the boundless sea of flowers in the distance. Little fingers touched the hooks unintentionally, and the temperature was passed between each other, but no one spoke. Everything is so gentle, you can hear the breeze when you close your eyes, bringing waterfalls and birdsong in the distance, quiet and slow, as if you can freeze time.
"When will I go back to the southwest?" After a long time, Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue said "um", but didn't answer, but said: "If you like this place, you should also like Dali."
Chu Yuan thought for a while and shook his head: "Dali has worms."
Duan Baiyue defended: "If you raise a big python, there will be no insects near the house."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Chu Yuan said: "You should go back alone."
boa constrictor.
Not even a python, Duan Baiyue pouted, Xiaoqing doesn't bite, the pattern is beautiful, and it's cool to hold in summer.
Chu Yuan pinched his mouth, changed to a comfortable position, closed his eyes and fell asleep: "Don't mention your worms, pythons, and toads, spiders, centipedes, and five-step snakes."
Duan Baiyue said: "Oh." What about the poisonous weed.
Chu Yuan said: "No way."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Not even thinking about it.
The guards of the Southwest Mansion glanced at it from a distance, then waved to signal everyone to step back, and surrounded the two of them with a secluded world. By the way, I sighed in my heart that the prince is quite powerful, and the prince of Da Chu can be coaxed so obediently that he dares to come to this quiet mountain alone.
Duan Baiyue reached out to catch a falling flower, and when he approached the tip of his nose, a light fragrance overflowed, so he pinned it in his hair with a prank, but his eyes were unconsciously stained with a smile. The person in his arms breathed long and slept sweetly and quietly, as if he had been tired for many, many days. He was finally able to let go of his guard this time. Duan Baiyue's palms covered his eyes, blocking out the faint light of the sky.
The time was quiet, the little prince of the Southwest Mansion had a blade of grass in his mouth, leaned back lazily against the tree, and continued to watch Liuyun alone. I plan to wait for the two of them to grow up in the future, not only to go back to the southwest, but also to go to the snow-capped mountains, the desert, the South China Sea, and every place that I want to go but can't go, even if I don't do anything, just listen. The wind and the waves are fine.
After thinking about it, sleepiness gradually came, so he simply lay sideways on the thick soft grass with him. The sun was warm and soft, and even Xia Chan and Niao Que were silent, as if they were afraid of disturbing these two little teenagers.
There are small white flowers swaying in the wind on the shore, which is the best dream about this summer.
