After going up the mountain, you can see an empty snow field under a cypress tree covered with silver in the distance. In the severe cold season, the depressed and withered branches are intertwined and broken by the gentle blow of the wind.
Animal footprints are faintly visible on the snow, either deep or shallow...
"Xiaojiu, have you seen the crabapple tree?"
Xuan Jiu nodded.
"Then you must have never seen such a beautiful crabapple tree. I remember when I was a kid, there were a large number of crabapple trees planted on the mountain. Whenever winter comes, the snowflakes fall on the crabapple trees, which is very beautiful."
Xuan Jiu looked around curiously, "Where is it?"
Ning Chengyuan grabbed his hand and led him to continue walking up the hillside. Xuanjiu panted: "Can your grandfather... be able to walk this far up the mountain?"
"You are looking down on my grandfather. My grandfather used to be a general who led my father to join the army. However, later the dynasty changed and he did not want to get involved in the affairs of the court. Then he and my grandmother retired to the countryside. However, My grandfather insisted on going up and down the mountain every day, saying that he should not forget his roots."
Xuan Jiu panted as he walked up the slope and said, "Your grandfather is so awesome."
Ning Chengyuan took a step forward and reached the slope first. He lowered his head and pulled him up. Then he saw half of Xuan Jiu's black hair spread out messily. Half of his face was blown red by the wind and snow, and his lips were also red. The red ground was almost buried in the collar, and he gasped again, bringing out a ball of white heat, which spread in front of his eyes, reflecting the hazy and warm halo of the sunlight reflected on the mountain.
Ning Chengyuan's heart was itching, and suddenly he pulled Xuan Jiu into his arms. Xuan Jiu let out a low cry, and a lot of snow fell from his feet. He was forced to throw himself into his arms, stunned, and gasping. Listening and listening to him breathing heavily.
For a moment, the surroundings were extremely quiet.
It was so quiet that only the whistling wind and each other's breathing were left.
Xuan Jiu's ears were slightly reddened. He blinked gently, broke away from his arms, and looked around pretending to be calm, "Where is the Begonia tree?"
Ning Chengyuan pointed to him, "Over there, do you see it?"
Xuan Jiu followed his line of sight and looked over, and he saw a sea of white flowers. The fallen flowers danced with the white snow, and were sprinkled by the winter sunshine. The thin shadows of the trees were reflected on the ground in variegated patterns, which was particularly beautiful.
Xuan Jiu's eyes were bright and clear. He looked at this patch of crabapple trees for a long time and said with great pleasure: "It's really beautiful..."
Ning Chengyuan suddenly reached out and touched his ear. The warm touch made Xuan Jiu's heart tighten. He subconsciously recognized the beginning, and then saw Ning Chengyuan gently twisting a petal from his ear on his finger. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Ning Chengyuan didn't know what he was afraid of, so he didn't say anything clearly. He brushed off the fallen flowers in his hands and put his arms around his shoulders in a more manly manner, "Let's go find my grandfather. "
"I can leave by myself." Xuan Jiu frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over. Being held by Ning Chengyuan like this, he could feel the breathing of the man above his head more clearly. It was so clear and strong, which made him feel inexplicably flustered. , how can I still walk with him normally
But Ning Chengyuan thought that Xuan Jiu was unwilling to walk with him even in such a posture. He also felt Xuan Jiu's rejection and felt lonely, but he didn't want to make Xuan Jiu unhappy at this juncture, so he had to let go. He drove Xuanjiu and took him downhill to the top of the mountain in the other direction. He said, "I'll take you to catch the fox tomorrow, okay?"
