Huamo

He didn't say a word, his face was expressionless, he didn't seem to feel the cold of the wind and snow, and he couldn't hear anyone's voice. He held a small log the size of a palm in one hand and a knife in the other, and repeated it over and over again. In the work of engraving, every stroke and every stroke is very serious and careful.

"Young Master Lian?" Chu Luo pushed the wheelchair to the door and called out.

Lian Heng didn't respond as if he was deaf, he only knew to keep carving the log in his hand.

"I asked Eldest Sister, this bracelet was indeed given to me by Eldest Sister, and I have never been to Baiye Mountain Villa." Chu Luo frowned and said.

"The moment you come in, you're going to be a snowman." Chu Luo said worriedly.

Without exception, only the howling wind responded to him.

"The 'he' is Mr. Yun, the second brother told me." Chu Luo said helplessly, "Mr. Lian, you have been with Xiaoran and me these few days, have you ever thought about how Mr. Yun feels? .”

Lian Heng's hands froze, and he raised his eyes to look at Chu Luo, a little puzzled.

"The authorities are confused by the bystanders." Chu Luo sighed softly, "In the past few days, you have regarded me as the big brother who appeared in your dreams, and defended me everywhere, and Mr. Yun has seen it."

"I……"

"Mr. Yun thinks you like me, just like you think Mr. Yun likes my second brother." Chu Luo glared at the dazed Lian Heng angrily, "Do you understand when I say that?"

Hearing this, Lian Heng frowned and paused for a while, then suddenly he stood up and hurried away, setting off snow all the way, and after seeing some things clearly, he realized how wrong he was at that time.

"Remember to apologize first." Chu Luo shouted at Lian Heng's anxious back, until he couldn't see Lian Heng's shadow, he murmured worriedly, "Brother, can they really reconcile as before?"

"Yes." A gentle voice came, and Chu Piao walked out of the room calmly, "It's just that Xiaoheng is still young, if he doesn't go through this, he probably doesn't know how to cherish it."

"But Mr. Lian, I'm afraid he will hate you." Chu Luo looked at Chu Piao worriedly.

"It's okay, let's take it as a favor from Mr. Yun." Chu Piao said softly, his eyes wandering a bit.

"That's right, if it's not the elder brother who trips Mr. Yun in the future, but someone else, even the young master doesn't know how to get it back."

"It's not without repayment, at least Mr. Yun was allowed to heal your illness by mistake." Chu Piao let out a long sigh, and raised a gratified smile, "Luo Luo, go into the house to rest."

Chu Luo nodded, and suddenly asked cautiously, "Brother, do you like Mr. Yun too?"

Chu Piao didn't say a word, just smiled and knocked on Chu Luo's head, and pushed Chu Luo's wheelchair into the room, only he knew what was going on in his mind.

*****

Lian Heng rushed to the downstairs of Liuting with the half-carved wooden figure in his arms, shaking off the thick snow from the dead branches around him, but the entire pavilion was pitch black, as if no one was there.

"Bang bang bang-"

"Master? Are you there, Master?" Lian Heng knocked on the door anxiously and shouted, he just wanted to see Yun Li quickly and apologize, thinking that he would be so rude to him in a fit of anger this morning, it would cost him thousands of dollars The urge to cut.

clap clap-

"Master, can you open the door first?"

After knocking for a long time, no one responded, Lian Heng squatted at the door dejectedly, took out the knife again and continued the unfinished carving.

The wind and snow fell on Lian Heng's body without mercy. In the dead of night, even the snow fell with special care, and the only sound in the courtyard was the sound of a knife carving a log.

The wind and snow are silent at night, and the sun is rising outside the crowing of chickens.

Wrong Cao Cao Fu love Xu, Yu Luo flicks a little bit.

The next day.

Fengyu City is located in the northwest of the land of China. It is dry all year round, and the winter is extremely cold.And the people always have thousands of ways to drive out the severe cold and have fun, so Fengyu City has a day called the Cannon Fire Festival every winter. All kinds of firecrackers are made up of small firecrackers in strange shapes. Flowers, plants, insects and fish can cover almost everything in the world.After dinner, the people in the city will come out of the house, one is to comment on the cannons made by each family, and the other is to visit relatives and friends in this winter, chat with each other, and the most lively thing is to let off sky lanterns and make wishes .

As for these cannon fires, at midnight, every household was ignited at the same time—at that moment, the entire Fengyu City was filled with cannon fire, and the flames soared into the sky like red flowers everywhere.If you look at it from above, the city looks like a phoenix spreading its wings, reborn in the fire, warming through the cold winter months, hence the name Fengyu City.

The Chu family, as a big family in the city, was filled with joy and the warmth of reunion for the breakfast on this day of the Cannon Fire Festival.

"Look, this is the dragonfly cannon made by Mr. Deng. It has always been the most magnificent in the city." Chu Ming triumphantly pointed at the servants who were decorating the house.

"Mr. Deng used to be a phoenix," Chu Ran said next to his sister, "but now that I'm old, I can only be a dragonfly..."

Gongsun Lu looked at it and recalled some memories of his childhood: "If I remember correctly, the time when the young master came here happened to be the Cannon Fire Festival?"

"You just remember!" Chu Ming pouted.

Gongsun Lu grinned, "Young master is forgetful, hehe."

"I don't care if you forget it or not, you must go shopping with Miss Ben tonight." Chu Ming asked.

"Mingming, why don't you go?" Gongsun Lu blinked his gray eyes, "But there are so many people, don't you think it's too crowded?"

Chu Ming raised his neck: "Let's all go, anyway, it's also a day of celebration for the people of the whole city, and—" he said with a smile on his arm, "I have a husband~"

Gongsun Lu heheed twice, making Gongsun Zi beside him laugh, and said softly and helplessly, "Ming'er, mother has already said that love can't be done overnight, and you can't force it."

"Mother~" Chu Ming frowned and shouted.

Gongsun Zi shook his head at this daughter who gave her a headache without saying a word, and then turned to Bian Mei, who was holding the child quietly: "Today is a big day in Fengyu City, you also bring the child, follow these children Go out."

Bian Mei was a little hesitant, but seeing that Gongsun Zi was so kind and enthusiastic, and that Chu Ming couldn't refuse her mother's request, she agreed.

At this time, Li Jinsha came out of the room belatedly. Seeing that there seemed to be no seats at a glance, he wanted to find another place, but Gongsun Lu grabbed his wrist.

"Mother Qin, take an extra chair."

Li Jinsha sat down on the chair that Qin Ma had pulled over, and started eating without saying a word.

"Let's go to the Cannon Fire Festival tonight." Gongsun Lu pushed him a bowl of warm soup.

Li Jinsha paused, then nodded vaguely and took it: "How long?"

"It must be after the cannon fire at midnight." Gongsun Lu chewed the steamed stuffed bun and said, "You've been sleeping for so long, aren't you sleepy?"

Li Jinsha frowned, as if he didn't pay attention to his words at all, and said after a while: "Then after midnight."

****

In the early morning, Xi Wei opened up the hope of a new day, and it shone warmly on Lian Heng's handsome side face. The last knife fell perfectly, and a lifelike wooden figure was completed. Looking at the small wooden figure in his hand, Lian Heng couldn't help but feel happy. Laughing, even though he was carving wooden figures all night without sleep, he didn't look tired.

He raised his hand to block the morning light and adjusted to it for a while. He hammered his back and stood up to exercise his muscles and bones. After stretching comfortably, he turned around and walked to the small building, still calling out persistently: "Master? Is Master awake?"

"Master?"

"Li'er~~"

Lian Heng tirelessly changed the tone of his voice, but what remained unchanged was his love and gentleness, just like how he had always treated him so gently before he came to Chu's house for so many years.

After calling for a long time, there was still no response. Lian Heng pursed his lips aggrievedly, and simply flew in from the open window sill on the second floor. Lian Heng was surprised that there was no one in the attic, and he stayed up all night. He stood guard at the door, but no one came out. Could it be that Master didn't come back all night?

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lian Heng stomped his feet nervously, and left the Liuting building in a hurry.

"Huh? What's wrong, master?"

Before he walked out of the courtyard, he saw Mo Qiaozhi carrying breakfast to Yunli's room.

"Uncle Mo, Master is gone, let Tian Fen's people search the entire Phoenix Feather City for me." Lian Heng frowned and said sharply.

"Okay, then the subordinate and the young master will also go out to look for it." Mo Qiaozhi's face became serious, he left the Chu mansion with Lian Heng as soon as he put away the breakfast.

【Bian Ling · Second Prince's Mansion】

The sharp plume and arrow crossed a perfect arc, and with a "chirp", it hit the bull's-eye impartially, followed by the voices of praise.

"The second prince's arrow skills are superb, and he really hits a hundred shots." A wise man like a counselor clapped his hands and praised him. He was dressed in a simple coarse cotton coat, showing his calmness and maturity, his eyes shone with wisdom, and he was neither humble nor overbearing. The arrogance of a hermit.

"Mr. Sima's reputation is too high." Gongsun Yu chuckled, threw the bow and arrow to the guard standing aside, gathered the fox fur and walked into the house.

"The prince is too modest." Sima Guo greeted him with a smile, and walked into the inner room with steady steps.

"Master An asked you to come, why?" Gongsun Yu sat down leisurely, picked up hot tea and tasted it calmly.

"Naturally, it is a state matter." Sima Guo saluted, showing a meaningful smile, hiding a lot of strange emotions, he said as if chatting, "Master An has been ill in bed for a long time, and I am afraid that there will be troubles in the court, so I let you come and talk to me." The second prince will talk."

"Oh? On the top, the empress dowager maintains the government, and on the bottom there are civil and military officials who are dedicated to their duties, and there are six younger brothers and General Cheng on the left and right to assist. How can there be trouble?" Gongsun Yu
