A silver moon hangs high in the night sky, shedding strands of cold moonlight, and the night is covered with stars.
The night in the mountains and forests is particularly dark, and the surroundings are quiet. The shadowy trees are like a group of demons dancing in the dark night. The cold mountain wind blows from time to time, blowing the surrounding trees, shrubs and grass "rustling", After nightfall, these sounds seem to be infinitely amplified...
Another gust of mountain wind blew by, and there was a "rustling" sound in the bushes behind, as if something was lurking in it.
Xiao Fei subconsciously stopped her footsteps, followed the sound, and swallowed nervously, fearing that a hungry wild wolf would jump out of the bushes in the next moment.
Xiao Fei was still wearing the water-green riding outfit, but the dress had already been stained with a lot of dust, and the crescent moon bun that was originally neatly combed was also a bit messy, with a few strands of hair scattered around her cheeks, ears, etc. side.
The surroundings quickly calmed down again, and everything was silent.
Xiao Fei wiped the cold sweat off her forehead with a piece of handkerchief in her hand, bit her slightly white lips, and continued to walk forward with difficulty.
This afternoon, she went out to ride horses with Yuan Yuyi, Chang Huanwei and three other girls. They were all girls' families, and they didn't plan to go far or hunt. They just wanted to take a walk in the mountains and forests to relax.
After riding for more than half an hour, they planned to return to the camp the same way, but at that time Miss Peng suddenly wanted to relieve herself, so the rest of them simply got off their horses and rested in place, enjoying the flowers by the way.
Unexpectedly, a wild badger jumped out of the bushes unexpectedly, and Miss Peng's horse was frightened, and without being tied, it went deep into the woods. Xiao Fei happened to be close, and instinctively chased after it.
She didn't feel how far she had gone. When she came back to her senses, she found that she was the only one left around...
She didn't dare to continue chasing the horse, and tried to go back the same way, but the vegetation in the woods looked about the same. After a while, Xiao Fei couldn't return to the place where they rested before, so she was sure she was lost.
At first, she tried to identify the direction according to the direction of the setting sun, but the setting sun was very fast, and after the sunset and the moon rose, she was lost again...
Looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, Xiao Fei looked at her right foot with a wry smile.
When walking down a mountain road just now, the sole of her shoe slipped and she accidentally sprained her foot. This really proved an old saying: good luck never comes without double, misfortune never comes singly.
The mountains and forests at night were getting colder and colder, Xiao Fei took a deep breath, endured the pain in her feet, and continued walking.
"Srustling..."
There was another sound of branches and leaves swaying. Xiao Fei followed the sound and glanced at it, but saw a bush not far ahead getting more and more commotion... The sharp white teeth suddenly poked out from between the dark green leaves, and followed A gray wolf's head squeezed out, and its pupils shot out a cold and fierce light in the dark night, which made Xiao Fei take half a step back in fright.
And that's all!
Xiao Fei looked at those fierce pupils in a daze, and tilted her head, and at the same time, the wolf's head also tilted.
"Harrier Eagle!"
"Wow!"
The voices of one person and one dog overlapped, and the giant gray dog leaped out of the bushes vigorously and ran towards her excitedly, with its fluffy tail flicking wildly like a broom behind it...
"Wow!"
Harrier Eagle enthusiastically laid its forelegs on Xiao Fei's body, its heavy body made Xiao Fei stagger a step, and almost lost his footing.
Harrier Eagle didn't notice it, it stuck out its long tongue, licked and rubbed again, after a while, there was a suspicious moistness on Xiao Fei's chest.
However, Xiao Fei couldn't care about these things at the moment, and the original anxiety was washed away by the appearance of Harrier Eagle, and her heart became much lighter.
"Harrier Eagle!"
She gently touched the top of Yaoying's head, and finally calmed it down, leaned down to meet its eyes, and asked, "Yayying, did you come to find me?"
At this time, the eldest brother and sister-in-law must have known about her disappearance, and they must have sent people to search for her in the ten thousand green mountains, but the mountains and forests are rugged and complicated, and it is night, it may take some time to find her...
Thinking about it, Xiao Fei frowned slightly, Harrier Eagle flicked its tail and gave another "bark", circled her twice, then looked up at her, his eyes very focused.
For some reason, at this moment, Xiao Fei thought of her brother Yu who looked at her expectantly and said that she wanted to play with her.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Yaoying looked around, then took a piece of dead branch and delivered it to her, then squatted down, and gave a urging "Wow".
Xiao Fei had no choice but to throw the dead branch out, and the kite eagle chased it out excitedly, leaped lightly, bit the dead branch, came back in a hurry, and put the dead branch into Xiao Fei's hands again, with a look on her face. looked at her expectantly.
Sure enough, it just wanted her to play with it.
Xiao Fei patted the silly dog, regardless of whether it understood or not, and said, "Yaying, I sprained my ankle and I can't play with you. Can you find someone to come over?"
Greyhound tilted his head and looked at her quietly.
Xiao Fei sighed helplessly, and was about to throw away the dead branch in her hand again when suddenly she had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.
Might be worth a try!
Xiao Fei's eyes flickered, and she resolutely tore the water green handkerchief in two, tied the two ends together, and then put it on Harrier Eagle's neck.
"Harrier Eagle." Xiao Fei took off another white jade ring from her waist, and handed it to the gray dog. The gray dog flicked its tail, and happily bit the white jade ring.
Xiao Fei pointed to the direction it came from, and said seriously: "Yaying, go find your master!"
Harrier Eagle didn't move until Xiao Fei said it again, then it got up, wagged its tail and ran off the same way, blinked, and disappeared into the bushes.
Since Harrier Eagle likes to play pick-and-pop games with people, if all goes well, it should go back to find its owner with her jade pendant in its mouth... Even if it is playful and accidentally throws away the jade pendant, the veil tied around its neck should be the same. You can help her pass the news, the premise is that if Harrier Eagle is not lost...
Xiao Fei smiled wryly. She didn't know if the plan would go well, but it was more reliable than walking blindly in the forest with her feet sprained...
Next, all I can do is wait where I am.
Xiao Fei glanced around, and couldn't care less about being particular, she sat down under a big tree and leaned against the trunk behind, and let out a long breath.
After sitting down, a deep tiredness flooded up like a tide. She had been walking alone in the mountains and forests for more than an hour, and her legs and feet were already sore, especially her right foot.
As the night got deeper and colder, Xiao Fei bent her knees and hugged her own knees, curling up into a ball.
Time became especially slow at this time, and there was a dead silence around her. Since she had nothing to do, she counted silently and slowly in her heart: one, two, three...
one thousand and One…
Two thousand and one...
Xiao Fei felt more and more uneasy, until when she counted to "two thousand two hundred and twenty-two", a gust of night wind blew in, faintly sending out a "woof".
To Xiao Fei at this moment, this dog bark was like the sound of heaven.
She stood up abruptly and listened attentively. There was a faint sound of horseshoes coming from the front right, coming this way, and the familiar dog barking sounded from time to time.
Harrier Eagle is back, and he brought people with him!
Very good! Xiao Fei was overjoyed, and after a while, she saw two jumping flames getting closer and brighter in the darkness...
A burly gray dog galloped excitedly at the front, followed by two young men galloping forward one after the other, one in green robes and the other in blue robes, the torches in their hands illuminated the surrounding area...
"Wow!"
The Harrier Eagle with the water-green veil still tied around his neck was the first to rush to Xiao Fei, and then he jumped excitedly, causing Xiao Fei's back to lightly hit the tree trunk behind him. The branches and leaves swayed rustlingly.
Seeing the heavy giant dog on her body, Xiao Fei couldn't help but smile brightly.
"Harrier Eagle, you're back!"
She usually smiles reservedly, but it is different at this moment. The smile on her lips is like a blooming winter jasmine, beautiful and moving, attracting two burning eyes.
The two young men turned over and walked towards Xiao Fei with strides. It was Yan Xijun and Chang Huaixi.
"Harrier eagle!" Yan Xijun stretched out his hand to grab the handkerchief tied around the gray dog's neck, dragged it back forcefully, and took out a white jade ring from his belt and handed it over, "Miss Xiao, Is this yours?"
Xiao Fei hadn't spoken yet, but Yaoying had already "barked" for her, as if to say yes.
Xiao Fei responded, took her jade pendant, and at the same time looked down at Yaoying. She didn't expect this silly dog to obediently hold her jade pendant... As she thought about it, the smile in her eyes grew stronger.
"Miss Xiao, are you okay?" Chang Huaixi asked immediately, his eyes showing concern.
"Young Master Chang, Young Master Yan, thank you two young masters." Xiao Feifu thanked her and said shyly, "I'm fine, I just sprained my right foot..."
The two young masters looked towards Xiao Fei's right foot subconsciously, followed Chang Huaixi to form a ring with two fingers, and blew a crisp whistle, and his black horse came pacing over.
At this time, Xiao Fei didn't hold back, and with the help of the two, she got on the dark horse.
"Let's go back to camp quickly."
As Yan Xijun said, he also pulled his own horse.
The two young men led their respective horses back the same way. As for Harrier Eagle, it didn't follow its master, but surrounded Xiao Fei's side, occasionally rushing to the front, and then ran back again. Shouting and jumping next to him, showing off his sense of presence, it diluted the embarrassment between the three of them a bit...
Looking at the Harrier Eagle, the corners of Xiao Fei's mouth turned up slightly, and she turned her head to Yan Xijun who was walking on the left and said seriously, "Young Master Yan, thanks to Harrier Eagle for finding me today, what does it like? I want to thank it very much."
"Wang."
Harrier Eagle yelled before Yan Xijun, and flicked its tail excitedly.
Yan Xijun glanced at it expressionlessly, and squeezed out a word: "Play."
This stupid dog can't do anything except eat and play... But today is a rare smart one.
Thinking about it, Yan Xijun's calm eyes softened a little, let's go back and add a piece of meat to it.
Xiao Fei nodded, thinking about it and said: "Mr. Yan, when I get back to Luoyue City, I will prepare some gadgets for it and send it to your residence." Yaoying seems to like Xiaoju very much like his nephew, or she will give him an orange too. Cat Muppet
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Fei's voice fell, the atmosphere became extremely strange in an instant, and it was strangely quiet.
The two men looked at each other intuitively, a little surprised. Doesn't she know? !
Xiao Fei was stunned, and explained solemnly: "I will let my sister-in-law come forward... it won't ruin Mr. Yan's reputation." She thought they were worried that her gift to the Yan Mansion would attract other mansions to speculate about her relationship with Yan Mansion. The government wanted to discuss marriage, which hindered Yan Xijun's marriage.
With Xiao Fei's explanation, Chang Huaixi's gaze became even weirder, but Yan Xijun smiled lightly and said: "Miss Xiao misunderstood, I don't live in the Yan Mansion anymore..."
After that, he gave Xiao Yi a mansion to him, and he said in two sentences that he took advantage of the opportunity to move out of the Hell Mansion.
Xiao Fei looked at Yan Xijun in surprise, she knew that Yan Xijun had moved away from Yan's Mansion at this moment, she was startled.
Chang Huaixi's brows were tightly frowned, and he felt injustice for Yan Xijun and said: "For this matter, there have been many rumors and rumors in Luoyue City in the past two months, saying that 'parents are here, no separation', and accusing Ah Jun of being unfilial. Hmph, these People, you know how to make sarcastic remarks!"
Xiao Fei lowered her eyes halfway, thoughtful, she had met Mrs. Yan, met Yan Xijun's aunt and sister... and also knew that Yan Xijun had a difficult time in the Yan Mansion, so he had no choice but to make this decision.
Xiao Fei pursed her lips slightly, and a certain part of her heart was touched. For a moment, many images flashed through her mind quickly, thinking of her eldest brother Xiao Yi, and her mother Xiao Fang...
When my mother was alive, she always kept saying that my elder brother was unfilial.
After the eldest brother married his sister-in-law, the mother said that the sister-in-law was not filial...
and myself...
As long as you don't follow your mother's wishes, it is unfilial.
But filial piety is not filial piety, is that what it should be? !
Xiao Fei raised her eyes to the silver moon in the night sky, her eyes flickered slightly, and she heard the man on the left say slowly: "Everyone in the world says that filial piety comes first, but if parents are not kind, should children just listen to it?" ?”
Xiao Fei opened her eyes slightly, and looked at Yan Xijun again.
Yan Xijun's deep eyes were firm and decisive, and he said: "I just have to keep in mind that a man can do something and not do something!"
He is a concubine, and he fights for his future by himself. The reward of the son of the world is his own, so why not? !
In the future, he will take care of his parents and glorify Yan's family, but he will not be foolish enough to exchange his mediocrity for the word "filial piety"! If you gain something, you will lose something. If he wants to rise to the top, why should he stick to his reputation? !
Looking at his firm side face, Xiao Fei smiled, her jet-black eyes shone brightly like cold stars in the jumping firelight, and said loudly: "But please have a clear conscience and live up to the time."
In life, it is impossible to make everyone happy. My mother was wrong, a big mistake, and I just want to have a clear conscience!
Yan Xijun was stunned, his eyes glowed with brilliance, he looked at Xiao Fei with burning eyes, and muttered in his heart: But please have a clear conscience and live up to the time. I didn't expect that she understood him!
At this time, there were bursts of horseshoes and noises ahead, and orange torches were faintly visible in front of them like flying fireflies...
As the people and horses on both sides approached each other, the surrounding air boiled up, and the coldness in the mountains and forests seemed to be swept away, and joyful and loud voices came and went one after another:
"I found Miss Xiao!"
"Quick! Go and report to Shi Ziye and Shi Zifei!"
"Notify everyone else to go back to the camp!"
"..."
Before Xiao Fei returned to the camp, the news had already been sent back to the camp as quickly as possible, and spread rapidly. The shadows above the camp were washed away at once, and the atmosphere took on a new look...
At this time, it was the willow twigs on the moon, and everyone hadn't rested yet, and they finally felt relieved.
With the support of the maid, Xiao Fei, who was described as being in a state of distress, came to the central tent of Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue. As soon as she entered the door, she met Nangong Yue's worried eyes and her eldest brother Xiao Yi's disgusted expression, as if saying, Such a big man, he still gets lost!
Xiao Fei didn't look at Xiao Yi, but blushed at Nangong Yue and said, "Sister-in-law, I made you worry."
Xiao Fei didn't care about Xiao Yi, but she cared about Nangong Yue, her guilt and apology could not be concealed between her brows.
My sister-in-law has been feeling unwell since she was pregnant with this child. She usually falls asleep at this time, but now she still has to worry about herself...
Seeing Xiao Fei apologizing to herself in a serious manner, Nangong Yue suddenly felt an impulse to imitate Xiao Yi and flick Xiao Fei's forehead. They are a family, so there is no need to be so polite!
Nangong Yue sighed in her heart, before she had time to say anything, a maid came to report that Yuan Yuyi had come, followed by Zhou Roujia, Chang Huanwei and the others, and the originally empty tent was suddenly crowded It was full, and the girls were all around Xiao Fei, talking to each other, it was so lively.
"I'm fine, I just sprained my right foot." A warm current flowed through Xiao Fei's heart, and she showed a faint smile.
Baihui who was on the side stepped forward and said, "Miss, let this servant take a look at your feet."
Baihui knelt down, took off Xiao Fei's shoe herself, carefully checked the injury on her right foot, and said: "The eldest girl twisted her ankle, the injury is not serious, this servant will apply some ointment on the eldest girl, and raise her up." Four or five days will be fine... "
Hearing this, the girls' half-suspended hearts were finally completely let go.
Baihui hurriedly fetched the medicine box, skillfully applied the ointment to Xiao Fei's right foot, fixed the ankle with a bandage, and then told her not to touch the area where the medicine was applied these few days, and to move as little as possible...
In other words, for the next few days, Xiao Fei might have to stay in the camp.
Xiao Fei looked down at her right foot, and the maid beside her, Bai Zhou, carefully wrote it down, echoed it repeatedly, and then whispered to Xiao Fei: "Miss, why don't I help you go back to rest..."
But Xiao Fei didn't move. After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly came back to her senses and got up to say goodbye to Nangong Yue and everyone.
Nangong Yue exhorted a few words in a warm voice, feeling that Xiao Fei seemed to be in a daze. Could it be that she was frightened alone on the mountain tonight? !
It seems that after returning to Luoyue City, I still have to go to the Mazu Temple with Sister Fei to worship and ask for a peace talisman.
Xiao Fei left, Yuan Yuyi and others also left one after another, the camp returned to calm from the hustle and bustle, the lights in the camp went out one by one, only the bonfires and torches in the camp outside kept burning until dawn...
