lotus in troubled times

Every March, the beggars will be full of peach blossoms.

Because it is spring, the falcons are also very active, and there are constant falcons hovering over the main rudder.Liansheng sat on Guo Yan's arm, and when he passed the trestle bridge, he was firmly attracted by the hawks flying across the sky.Guo Yan saw him looking up and staring at the falcons, and asked him, "Do you want to raise a falcon?"

Liansheng asked him in surprise, "Can I raise it too?"

"Of course, as long as you can catch it."

It is not difficult to catch a falcon with the lightness of the beggar gang.But it is not so easy to tame a falcon, so if you want to raise a falcon, it is best to find a newly hatched baby bird and raise it from an early age.

The falcons in the Beggar Clan have always built their nests in Monkey Stream, and if they want young birds, they have to go to the cliffs of Monkey Stream to find them.Liansheng went there several times, but all failed. The female falcon was fierce and guarded the nest day and night, so he couldn't get close at all.When the female falcon leaves the nest, the juvenile falcon has grown up, and the best taming season has passed, so it is useless to catch it.

When Liansheng was practicing martial arts with Guo Zhu, he looked at the obedient and alert falcons on her shoulders, his eyes were red, but he still couldn't catch one with his own hands.

Guo Yan noticed that the little tail on his back had been listless for several days, so he took advantage of no one around and asked, "Why, haven't you caught the falcon yet?"

Liansheng nodded dejectedly.

"It's just a bird. If you can't catch it, you can raise a cormorant. There are many cormorants on the island. They are docile and can catch fish to eat."

The two happened to be on the trestle bridge, and Guo Yan had already squatted down habitually to make a human-shaped sedan chair for Liansheng.Liansheng sat on his arm, hugging his neck a little sadly: "I just want a falcon. If I have a falcon, I can write you a letter when you go to the Western Regions."

Guo Yan was silent, he patted Liansheng's head and continued to walk, feeling a little touched in his heart, it's not in vain to hurt this kid.

After half a month, Liansheng went to Guo Yan to look for him as usual after finishing his martial arts training.After Guo Yan dealt with everything, he dismissed his subordinates and threw a small cloth bag to Liansheng with a smile.

Liansheng opened it and saw that it was a falcon.

The falcon was tightly wrapped, leaving its head outside, and its round eyes were very spiritual.Liansheng released it only to find that the whole body of this falcon was covered with snow-white fine fluff, and it was the top-grade white phoenix among falcons.

Guo Yan coughed, quite embarrassed.He pretended to be serious and said to Liansheng: "I go to dig out the falcon's nest every day, and you will scare away the falcons in Monkey Creek, you..."

Before the words were finished, Liansheng had rushed over, jumped on him and kissed him hard on the face.The feeling of the lips touching the face was soft and slightly wet.

Guo Yan froze on the spot, his face turned red.He has always been wild and unruly, with a resolute personality.Everyone in the beggar gang respected him more than being close to him, and no one had ever hugged him like this, let alone kissed him.He goes to the Western Regions every year.Yin Xiaohe will talk about the situation in the beggar gang after he comes back, Guo Zhu will wait to discuss with him, and other gang members will say that the gang leader is back.

Only Liansheng would tell him: Master, you have been away for a long time, and I miss you every day.

Only Liansheng would kiss him without any scruples.

Sometimes Guo Yan can't understand the overly caring, veiled probing, but what makes him understand clearly is such straightforward feelings.
