The escaped Xishan village owner has been wiped out, and the scenery of Linxi town is almost the same. It is time to leave here.

"Brother Qing, what are your plans next?" Han Tuo asked while packing his bags.

"Brother Han, do you have any recommended places to go?" Qing Ming sat at the table, holding a teacup in his hand, and took a sip.

"How about, young brother and I go to the northwest? What do you think?" Han Tuo put down his luggage and sat down at the table.

"Oh?" Qing Ming smiled faintly, noncommittal.

"Compared to other places, I'm quite familiar with it, and it's a completely different scene from here, young brother, don't you want to see it?"

"Brother Han's recommendation is certainly good, so I'll trouble you to arrange it."

"Good talk, good talk."

In a few words, the future of the two of them was finalized.

Second day

The two left Linxi Town on horseback, and it was already May.

The two slept in the wild on the first day they left Linxi Town. There was no way to do that. The surrounding towns were some distance away, and the posthouses they went to the northwest were also relatively far away.

For Han Tuo, sleeping in the wild is not a big deal, and it is common to need to sleep in the wild when marching; but for Qing Ming, it is the first time.

In fact, this trip is the real sense of going out alone. Even when he was demoted from Beijing, he never slept in the open air, and the accompanying guards never left his body. When he lived in seclusion on the mountain and studied with the teacher, he basically did not need to do many chores. , although it is not as meticulous and thoughtful as when it was taken care of in the imperial capital, but it is not completely to the point where it needs to be done by itself.

This time, Qing Ming completely obeyed Han Tuo's arrangements for camping out in the wild.

"Young brother, go and catch a hare, and I will start the fire first."

"Okay." Qing Ming replied, and entered the forest.

Han Tuo picked up a lot of dead branches neatly, and quickly set them up. After a while, the fire was full of light; after lighting the fire, he simply cleaned up the surrounding area.

"Brother Han, the hare is here." Qing Ming's voice sounded.

Han Tuo responded without raising his head, and then arranged, "Then you go to the stream and deal with the rabbit, and I'll give you a dagger." Then, he threw the dagger he was carrying with him.

Qing Ming caught the dagger and was silent for a long time, looking at the dagger and the hare in his hand, he felt powerless in his heart.

Han Tuo felt that he hadn't left for half a day after receiving the dagger, and looked up suspiciously, and saw him staring blankly at the hare in his hand, with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Young brother, you, don't you know how to deal with wild rabbits?" Han Tuo was a little surprised. After asking, he realized that this is not a matter of course!

An embarrassing blush appeared on Qingming's face, and his smile became forced.

"Sorry, I forgot... That is, I used to be with my brothers... I didn't remember it for a while... Don't mind..." Seeing his expression, Han Tuo didn't know whether to comfort him or explain to him For a moment, some incoherent speech.

Qing Ming looked away, and handed him the things in his hands, obviously not wanting to hear him continue talking.

"..." Han Tuo was speechless and just stared at him.

Ever since Han Tuo met Qing Ming, he had a calm and elegant appearance. He never panicked or lost control of his emotions. I was used to his gentle smile, calm and calm appearance, and suddenly found that he would also blush in embarrassment. How surprised.

"Hey! Have you seen enough?" Qingming raised half of his hand, but he didn't see him taking it, and when he turned his head, he saw him staring at him sharply, reminding him in a bad tone.

"Hey~" Han Tuo laughed dryly, and quickly took the dagger and the rabbit, "Then I'll deal with it, young brother, warm your hands first." After speaking, he ran away.

I really didn't expect that there are things that a person like Qingdi can't do, hehe~ However, with his image of a handsome young man, I really can't imagine how he handles raw meat with bloody hands. It seems that in the future, such things It's all up to me~ Squatting by the stream, while Han Tuo was handling the hare, he thought about Qing Ming's expression just now, and chuckled in a low voice.

On the other side, Qingming was sitting by the fire, "What the teacher said is indeed right, I was still under the fire, and let him read the joke without paying attention, how lax." Qingming couldn't help but regret and reflect.

When Han Tuo came back with the processed rabbit meat, both of them had sorted out their emotions.

Qingming didn't want to bring up what happened just now, and pretended nothing happened; Han Tuo knew that he was thin-skinned, and he had made himself a joke just now, so naturally he didn't dare to make fun of what happened just now, so as not to make him angry.

Both of them tacitly didn't mention what happened just now, and since that day, whenever they sleep in the wild, Qingming will light the fire, and Han Tuo will take the initiative to catch the prey and handle the raw meat.

More than half a month later, the two arrived in Qujiang Town, intending to stay for a few more days and take a good rest.

"Qingdi, it is said that there are four scenic spots in Qujiang Town. They say: the sunset on the Qujiang River, the smoke from the peak hangs on the river. Qujiang is famous for its nine bends and eighteen bends. The peak is Lingyun Peak. Chuan is the waterfall in the mountain. Due to the complex structure of the mountain, there are more than ten waterfalls of different sizes. The highest waterfall is not only shrouded in clouds and mist, but also colorful neon lights running across the mountain, which is very beautiful; Standing at the highest point of Lingyun Peak and witnessing the dazzling red sun sinking into the river, it is a stunning view!" Han Tuo happily introduced, "So, let's go watch the sunset tomorrow night!"

Qing Ming looked directly into his obsidian eyes, and said with a smile, "Brother Han's recommendation is certainly not wrong."

Second day

Two hours before the sun set, the two set off.

He brought two jugs of good wine and a pack of sauced beef, talking and laughing all the way up the mountain.

I passed a waterfall on the way and didn't stop there, in case I couldn't reach the peak before the sun went down.

The footsteps kept coming, and the voices kept coming. The voices of Han Tuo and Qing Ming could be heard in the deep forest.

For example, passing boulders in the stream:

"Young brother, be careful of slipping!"

"Ah."

To see a certain bird:

"Young brother, this bird looks very rare."

"Ah."

Passing somewhere where clouds and fog pile up:

"Young brother, it's easy to get lost because of the clouds and mist here, you must follow me closely."

"..."

……

In the end, Qing Ming didn't even say "um".

"Brother Han, are you a chatterbox today?" Finally, when he couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't help asking.

Han Tuo laughed loudly, "Aren't I afraid of your loneliness? There are only you and me in this mountain. If you don't say a word, wouldn't it be too quiet!"

"So can we say something meaningful?"

"Okay, what do young brothers want to talk about?" Han Tuo walked in front and asked with a smile.

"Then tell me something interesting about your experience."

"Well, let me tell you..." Han Tuo recalled his life in the past few years while walking.

From entering and leaving the barracks, being underestimated by the generals, to emerging, gradually being recognized by his companions, and then becoming the leader of the crowd, gaining the respect of everyone... He didn't deliberately hide it, he said whatever came to mind, from the training camp to the wrestling field, From betting and punishing to drinking and grabbing food, heavy and cheerful, bit by bit, slowly.

Han Tuo's voice is deep and magnetic, especially when his tone is calm, he is particularly charming.

Qingming was immersed in his memories, listening carefully and carefully, his expression constantly changed with his narration, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.

That was something he had never experienced before.

He has always been alone. Although before he left Beijing, he had his father and mother by his side, and after he left Beijing, he had his master and senior brothers by his side, but those conversations were purposeful. They knew his identity, and he knew himself their responsibilities, their conversations always stay in politics, people's livelihood, national policy, etc., and there are no partners to laugh with or grieve with... He never thought that it was a kind of sadness, but at this moment, hearing his description and memories, He felt the yearning in his heart, and wanted to be able to laugh with him and them just once...

Qingming couldn't help looking forward to it.

"Young brother, look, we're here!" Han Tuo pointed forward excitedly.

"It's here so soon," Qing Ming said regretfully in a low voice.

"Brother Qing, I didn't hear what you said." Han Tuo looked at him suspiciously.

Qingming smiled, "It's nothing, hurry up, the sun is going to set soon."

"Well," Han Tuo pulled Qingming's arm, and the two of them speeded up, performed lightness kung fu, and climbed to the highest point of Lingyun Peak in a few steps.

At this time, in the distance, the curved surface of Qujiang River was shining with silver light, and one-fifth of the sun had already submerged in Qujiang River. The dazzling golden light illuminated the nearby river water, and above the blue sky, there were large pieces of burning clouds. Chengqu, at the end, everything around the sun seemed to be ignited, shining golden brilliance, it was too beautiful to behold.

"Fortunately, we caught up." Han Tuo said happily.

"Yeah, luckily we caught up." Qingming's eyes were full of admiration.

"At this time, this situation and this scene are suitable for a drink." Han Tuo raised the flagon in his hand with great pride.

"That's right." Qing Ming also raised the jug and pulled out the cork.

"Bump~" The jug collided.

The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their heads to drink, and after drinking, they laughed tacitly again.

On the mountain peak, under the sunlight, two black shadows are projected on the huge rock, as a special memory, engraved in the hearts of the two forever.

The two watched the sunset at the top of the peak, and after a short rest, they went down the mountain hand in hand.

Passed the waterfall again on the way.

"Brother Qing, I went to the pool to wash my face. I went up the mountain just now, and I was sweating and dusty. If I don't wash it off, I feel very uncomfortable."

"Go, I'll wait for you here."

"Aren't you going to wash?"

"No need, I basically didn't sweat much, it's just a little dusty, I'll wash it when I go back to the inn."

"Okay then, just wait for me."

After speaking, Han Tuo walked towards the water pool.

It was completely dark, but fortunately, today is the full moon, and the moonlight shines brightly on the pool under the waterfall.

Qingming saw that he had already squatted down and began to wash, and simply admired the surrounding night scene.

Suddenly, there was a "plop~", which was very different from the "wow~" sound of running water.

Qingming looked towards where Han Tuo was.

no one!

Han Tuo is gone!

That idiot hasn't learned how to swim for so many years!

Qingming remembered what happened back then, but didn't see Han Tuo coming out of the water, and ran to where he was.
