smile to heart

======================

Wild flowers bloom in the suburbs, and the sun sinks.On the green grass and stone road, an ox cart full of hay is driving slowly.

The person lying lazily on the haystack, wearing a small broken hat, holds a piece of foxtail in his mouth, rests his hands behind his head, and looks leisurely at the twilight wilderness.The driver in front is dressed in simple and rough clothes, with one hand covering the bamboo hat on the top of his head slightly, hiding his eyebrows and eyes, and still driving meticulously.

After the bullock cart turned from the wide avenue into a secret forest road, Qi Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, tore off the mask of disguise from his face, and sighed: "Phew——the group of dogs raised by Xi Yan are finally taken away." It was thrown away. Fortunately, you have the disguise left by the medical sage, so that we can turn into the appearance of countrymen and escape from the sight of these people so easily. They disturbed their peaceful lives...Those idiots must have thought we were having fun in Jingxin City. After playing such a foolish scene for so long, I'm almost at a loss..."

Mu Yun smiled lightly: "It's fortunate that you and I cooperated properly and had a perfect understanding, so we left the city so easily."

"That's right, you don't care who thought of it, can it work?" Qi Zhong replied triumphantly after being praised.

After the ox cart came to a complete stop, Mu Yun gently took off the bamboo hat on his head, took off his gray-brown coarse cloth jacket, turned over and got out of the cart, and went to catch Qi Zhong who jumped on the dry grass: "Jump slowly, don't fall. "

Seeing someone take the initiative to pick him up and get off the car, Qi Zhong was overjoyed. He spread his hands in satisfaction, threw himself into Mu Yun's steady embrace, and grinned: "You catch it accurately."

Mu Yun knew that he was reluctant to get out of the car, but he didn't expose it. He slowly straightened him up, tidied the dead grass on his hair, and said carefully: "Correct your clothes. Anyway, I'm going to see my junior sister and the others... "

Qi Zhong rubbed his eyes and yawned: "I've seen it, I've seen it, the last time I was in the ancient temple, I knew that Junior Sister Weier was already with that boy Tang Lanqi. They are still the same as before, nothing much Change……"

Mu Yun said seriously: "That's different, we are visiting someone else's house now, so we should be more polite."

"It's okay, old acquaintance. Junior sister knows my casualness, and didn't they take the initiative to meet you? Since we are invited, we don't need to meet outside..." Qi Zhong said indifferently, after thinking about it, and then He frowned and said, "Hiss...or is there anyone else in their family that needs my special attention?"

Mu Yun pursed his lips and drooped his eyes, calmly said: "You will know when you go."

"Huh? What are you laughing at?" Qi Zhong was even more confused, and kept chasing people and asking questions while he was on his way.

……

It was dusk, the sky was full of clouds, and the light orange-red light and shadow fell outside a small mountain villa that was indifferent to the world, warm and intoxicating.

Qi Zhong was a little tired, grabbed Mu Yun, and asked lazily: "Did I go the wrong way? Where is this? It doesn't look like a fairy house of a famous family."

Mu Yun took out the map in his sleeve to look at it, and replied honestly: "It's not wrong. The place they left is this small village."

"What? No way, let me take a look..." Qi Zhong took the map and looked at it twice, and said, "This is about to go out of the Jingxin Ancient Road. Although the Tang Sect was full of turmoil back then, Tang Lanqi was a son of a son at any rate. , it doesn’t mean that you don’t have any family property at all? Need to live in this kind of mountain country? Didn’t the little junior sister suffer a lot with him..."

He murmured for a long time, slightly worried, looked up at the distant plain, and saw people in twos and threes sitting randomly, smoke rising from several places, the peaceful life of ordinary people, it seems that it does not look very bad...

"Oh, are you looking for a family surnamed Tang? It's just... over there, next to the small river..."

When he lost his mind, Mu Yun had already gone to the uncle who was driving the cattle home to ask for directions.The old man speaks a strong local accent, which makes people confused and anxious, but at the end of Qi, he saw Mu Yun's expression of listening patiently. Even if he didn't get the answer he wanted, he was not impatient at all, and kept thanking him again and again.

Stopping at the moment, he was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly remembered that at the Changting Qingqiao, under the sunny sun after the light rain, when the two met for the first time, he was so polite to ask someone for directions... Qi finally frowned. Pursing his lips, he sighed slightly. If it is such an easy thing to be tempted, it must be because the charm of the other party is too strong. Otherwise, how could he have such a ruffian personality when he was young, at the moment of first meeting, Let it all go.

After roughly guessing where the uncle was pointing, Mu Yun thanked the passers-by again, turned around and looked back at Qi Zhong, and smiled, signaling him to come and hurry on his way.

"Hey, did you really hear what the old man said just now?" Qi Zhong hurried over and asked curiously.

Mu Yun frowned lightly, shook his head and said, "I don't know... But I can't keep delaying his old man. Time is precious during the busy farming season."

"Ha... yes." Qi Zhong had nothing to refute, and nodded slowly.

Mu Yun glanced at him, took his hand silently, and walked on the yellow mud road. The grasses on both sides exuded the fragrance of grass and trees, and the evening flowers began to bloom in full bloom, purple and white quietly lying on the green leaves.

There are also a few hardworking families in the fields and water. After planting the green seedlings, row by row, row by row, the beauty of blank space suddenly becomes clear.

Occasionally, there are villagers who come and go on the road, some are farmers who are leisurely returning home with a hoe, and some are village women returning home after pounding clothes in the stream... They all looked at the two of them frequently, and felt that their appearance was pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help being amused. laugh.

Qi Zhong coughed a few times uncomfortably, pulled the sleeves of the person beside him, and walked faster and faster.

The two found the door of a family and stopped beside a stone mill under a persimmon tree.

"Baa, baa..."

There were a few calls of lambs from the courtyard wall.Qi Mo moved his ears, frowned and said, "There are sheep calling... Junior sister, do they know how to raise sheep? Most likely they don't live here, let's go."

Mu Yun didn't move when he heard the sound, and pondered for a moment. He stepped forward slowly, knocked on the door regularly, and waited for a response.

Qi Zhong, who was at the side with arms folded, was even more confused, and followed him and asked him: "So sure? We found the wrong house later, and we said we were tired from the journey, so we came to ask for water..."

Mu Yun couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, and sighed helplessly: "You..."

"Squeak-"

Before he finished sighing, a crack opened in the closed chaimen.

Afterwards, a pair of curious big eyes peeked secretly from the inside out. When he saw someone coming, the child in the door was overjoyed, pushed open the door suddenly, threw himself into Mu Yun's arms, and said affectionately: "Uncle Yun, you finally came to see me." Xiao En. I thought we moved, so you wouldn't come to teach me how to write..."

Hearing this claim, Qi Zhong, who had just leaned over to watch, suddenly petrified aside, and his lips trembled: "Yun, Uncle Yun?"

Mu Yun first comforted the child in his arms: "How could it be? Huai'en has grown a lot taller, can I let Uncle Yun give you a hug?"

Tang Huai'en jumped up happily, clapped his hands and laughed, "Wow, wow..."

"Hug?" Qi Zhong's eyes widened. Hearing him send a hug invitation to a cute strange child, he felt inexplicably amused. He blinked innocently and asked, "Mu Yun, when did you have such a little nephew?" ? Why do you hug other people's children casually?"

"Ah, I..." As soon as he picked him up, Mu Yun looked back at him at a loss, and was about to explain, but when he saw the two who had suddenly returned after Qi Shengsheng, he couldn't help but stop talking for a moment, and smiled in response.

"Oh? Someone else's child? Brother Qi, is that why you don't want to recognize me as a junior?"

Lin Weier pretended to be annoyed, and deliberately asked in a dissatisfied tone.

Hearing the familiar voice, Qi Zhong was startled suddenly. Before he could react, he heard that the child in Mu Yun's arms was even more joyful: "Mum, Dad, you are back!"

Qi Zhong woke up suddenly, turned around in surprise, and stammered: "Junior Sister, I, I... I don't know who he is..."

Lin Weier chuckled, couldn't bear him to go on in a hurry, nodded and said: "Okay, okay. I was joking with my brother just now, who said that you deliberately avoided me when you were in Changting Restaurant..."

Qi Zhong suddenly realized, thinking about the past, scratching his head for a moment: "Junior Sister, so you still hold grudges."

Putting the hoe under the courtyard wall, Tang Lanqi turned back and saw that the three of them had gotten to know each other quite well, and turned a little serious and said, "Huaien, why don't you come down? Be careful not to stain your Uncle Yun's clothes."

Being murdered for no reason, Tang Huai'en leaned on Mu Yun's shoulder playfully, and said aggrievedly: "No, Uncle Yun hasn't come to accompany me for a long time, I want to stay with him for a while, I'm very good, I didn't mess around, I will pay attention ..."

"Stinky boy, you..." Tang Lanqi laughed even more angrily when he saw him in such a state, and turned to look at Mu Yun, "It's a good thing you didn't buy him candy this time, otherwise I will pester you even more... Spoil yourself more , I won’t be able to cure him in the future.”

Lin Weier frowned lightly, pulled Tang Lanqi aside, and shouted in a low voice: "You're talking nonsense again! Senior Brother and Young Master Yun are guests you invited here on your own initiative, so don't say these things in front of the children..."

While talking, she looked back at Mu Yun apologetically, and smiled slightly.

Mu Yun put down the child, took Qi Zhong's hand instead, and stepped forward firmly: "It's okay. Mr. Tang hasn't seen us for a long time, and the words are cheerful, so it's even less obvious."

"Yes. I'm joking." Tang Lanqi followed the words, looked at the relationship between the two, and exchanged glances with Lin Weier, knowing each other tacitly.

"Let's not talk about that, you guys have come from afar, let's sit in the house for a while, I'll let Lanqi light the fire and cook." Lin Weier handed over the vegetable basket in his hand to Tang Lanqi, rushed him into the kitchen, and then called the child , Lead him to greet and salute.

But Zhizi felt strange when he saw Qi Zhong, and he was shy and refused to call anyone. Lin Weier was furious, so he had no choice but to arrange other errands for him: "Huaien, go to the house quickly and make tea for the two masters."

Seeing Tang Huai'en trotting into the door, Qi finally came back to his senses, and continued to chat with Lin Weier: "What a sensible boy."

"Senior brother was joking. This brat is just like his father when he messes around. It's just that Mr. Mu Yun can coax him..."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong turned sideways in shock, looked up at Mu Yun, and said in surprise, "You can still coax children?"

Ripples of the past floated in his mind, and Qi Zhong vaguely recalled that when he was in Dijiang, Yuan Qian was as stupid as a child, and seemed to be more dependent on Mu Yun. Obviously, no matter how messy a child is, he is still so easy to be comforted by him.

There was a hint of pride in his heart, and Qi finally lamented that his speculation back then was correct. If Mu Yun became a family, he would naturally be a gentle, considerate, caring and dedicated good husband, good father... such a perfect person belongs to him, Qi In the end, I felt a little reckless.

Mu Yun smiled lightly, and said modestly: "Junior Sister Lin is serious, Huai En is talented and intelligent, and has a straightforward personality. It's not a bad thing to play around when I was young."

Lin Weier was taken aback by his sudden change of title. When he came back to his senses, he was a little excited and asked tentatively: "Thanks to Mr. Mu Yun's praise for Huai En, if possible, I want Huai En to worship you..."

"Junior Sister. Would you like us to come in and have a sit down?" Surprised by her intentions, Qi finally didn't want to embarrass Mu Yun, so he interrupted Lin Weier's request first, laughed dryly, and changed the subject without a trace.

"Oh. Oh. I'm being rude, please come in, both of you."

Seemingly understanding Qi Zhong's hint, Lin Weier smiled apologetically, and led him into the simple village house.
