Miss Mu and the Canary

That day, the two of them didn't climb down from the roof with suspicious blushes until everyone came back.

Uncle Han was so frightened that he couldn't stop chanting: "Sin, girl, don't you remember how you fell on your head last time? You still have injuries, why did you go up again?"

Before he had time to speak up, Mu Xing sneezed three times: "Ha chirp!"

Now Bai Yan was also startled, afraid that she might catch a cold from the wind, so several people hurriedly wrapped Mu Xing into the quilt and poured a bowl of ginger soup.

"It's terrible, it's so terrible." Mu Xing huddled under the quilt and muttered.

Casually stuffing a candy into her mouth, Bai Yan said: "Aren't you still afraid of suffering, are you only three years old? You really are getting better and better."

Mu Xing plausibly said: "I'm not still young, my 21st birthday has just passed... half a year." As she spoke, she remembered to ask: "Speaking of which, Shu Wan, when were you? When was your birthday? "

Bai Yan glanced at her: "Why, do you want to celebrate my birthday?"

Mu Xing smiled: "Of course, our family members have to organize their birthdays every year."

Bai Yan thought for a while, and said, "It's been so many years since I celebrated my birthday. Now that the Gregorian calendar is popular, I don't know which day is the official day."

Reaching out to touch her forehead hair, Mu Xing said: "Think slowly, from now on, I will spend with you every year."

Taking the spittoon and rinsing her mouth, Bai Yan said, "Don't worry about celebrating your birthday. It's time for you to go to bed. You didn't get a good rest last night. Go to bed early today."

Hearing this, Mu Xing lifted half of the quilt and patted the empty seat beside him.

Bai Yan raised her eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Mu Xing was very calm: "It's time to sleep."

"Don't make trouble." Bai Yan glared at her, then laughed again, "Why are you like a puppy who just started eating meat?"

"Wow, where are you thinking?" Mu Xing yelled deliberately, "I just want to save you from having to go back to your room and save you some trouble."

Bai Yan raised her eyebrows and looked at her, without saying a word, Mu Xing then lowered her voice: "Just, by the way... let's exchange feelings."

Bai Yan made a look of sudden realization: "So it's 'by the way'?"

When Yuan couldn't come back, Mu Xing started to roll: "Sleep together, let's sleep together..."

"Don't make trouble." Bai Yan stuffed her back under the quilt, "Uncle Han is afraid that you will feel uncomfortable at night, so he ordered someone to watch the night. If people see it, it will affect you badly."

Knowing that it was all over, Mu Xing lay down on the bed disconsolately: "I can't sleep without you here."

Bai Yan laughed: "Then I'll sit here and wait for you to fall asleep before leaving."

Mu Xing curled his lips: "If you sit here, I won't be able to sleep anymore."

Bai Yan was very patient: "Then what are you going to do?"

Turning his eyes, Mu Xing said: "You can put me to sleep, tell a story, or sing."

Bai Yan smiled: "You are really only three years old."

Mu Xing cheated: "Sing, sing... I haven't heard you sing before!"

Can't beat her, Bai Yan had no choice but to agree, after thinking about it, she said: "Sing a little tune for you."

Mu Xing looked at her seriously.

Clearing her throat, Bai Yan sang aloud: "The night is blurred, the garden is sleeping, the cuckoo is crying, and the soul is broken..." As soon as she sang, she felt something was wrong: "Isn't it...too miserable?"

Mu Xing said with a bitter face: "Yes. Is there a song that is a little more cheerful? I am afraid that I will have a nightmare after listening to it." She added: "But you sing very well at night."

Bai Yan was a little proud: "Of course, I even participated in the choir when I was in middle school."

As for going to the hall later, singing badly was punished and beaten.Naturally, there is no need to tell Mu Xing such words.

However, Bai Yan even thought of a few songs, be it popular songs or pingtan songs, all of them were sad love songs, all of them were taught to sing by the hall, naturally for the sake of arousing love from benefactors.

Seeing that Mu Xing was about to fall asleep by himself, Bai Yan finally came up with a little song that she had heard by chance.

After thinking about the tune, she said softly: "I remember when I was young, I loved to chat and you loved to laugh..."

The singing is clear and clear, like the summer night wind, blowing away all tiredness, all worries and annoyances, blowing people straight into dreamland.

A few days later, Mu Xing still remembered what Bai Yan said about beating osmanthus. The next day after talking with Aunt Li, Aunt Li excitedly brought the bamboo wormwood and tarpaulin from home.

Uncle Han asked: "Are you only hunting the one in the backyard? Oh, this tree is free-range and doesn't have many flowers. Why don't you go to the village and ask, find a tree that is well planted and fertile, and go hunting for it? "

Bai Yan shook her head quickly: "No need, sir, we're just playing around, there's no need to mobilize people like this."

Uncle Han was quite anxious: "I'm afraid you guys won't have fun..."

Although no one has taken care of it for many years, the osmanthus tree in the backyard is actually growing fairly well, clusters of bright yellow osmanthus are crowded together.If it is sold in the village, it is naturally not worth anything, but it is enough for self-entertainment.

Bai Yan was in high spirits, she changed her cheongsam and high heels early in the morning, and put on a jacket skirt and embroidered shoes that were in fashion a few years ago, and rolled up her wide sleeves to make it easier to move around.If this outfit was in the city, it would definitely be ridiculed for being too earthy, but in Mu Xing's eyes, it had a novelty on the contrary.

The bamboo wormwood brought by Aunt Li was so thick and big that it took two people to lift it.Naturally, Mu Xing couldn't move. She spread the tarpaulin under the tree and sat aside to watch Bai Yan feast her eyes.

Rolling up their sleeves, Bai Yan and Fu Guang started to beat the sweet-scented osmanthus with bamboo wormwood.

The finely divided osmanthus fragrans hide in clusters among the leaves, it’s okay not to be noticed, but once seen, they will be hit by bamboo wormwood immediately.Bamboo Artemisia swayed, aiming at the sweet-scented osmanthus, they chased and hit the sweet-scented osmanthus, and the sweet-scented osmanthus fell down one after another, crying bitterly, smashing flowers and leaves on the tarpaulin.

Repeatedly, in the wailing and howling of osmanthus, a tree was almost beaten.

Bai Yan has a lot of experience: "It's almost there. We've knocked out more than half of them now, and the growth of the second wave of flowers will be better."

Mu Xing didn't respond.Sneaking at Bai Yan for a while.

Bai Yan was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" She brushed her hair, looked at her clothes, and there was nothing wrong.

Mu Xing smiled and waved: "I'll tell you when you come here."

Bai Yan turned her head and saw that Fu Guang and Aunt Li were busy handling the flowers, no one was paying attention to them, so she leaned over.

Signaling Bai Yan to lower her head, Mu Xing leaned into her ear and said, "Our Shu Wan is so good-looking as a village woman. I'm equivalent to marrying two people at once. Do you think I'm making a lot of money?"

Hearing this, Bai Yan straightened up, deliberately looked Mu Xing up and down for a while, shook her head and sighed: "It's a pity that I married a lazy, greedy and bad waist, it's like marrying three slobs at once, it's really a big loss. "

Mu Xing: "... Who are you talking about! Who has a bad waist!"

Jokes are jokes, business is still to be done.Together with Fuguang and the others, Bai Yan picked out the osmanthus branches and leaves that had been crushed, and then sifted through a dustpan until it was dark, and then a small dustpan was used to sieve them.

Looking at the many pots of sweet-scented osmanthus, Mu Xing was surprised: "After tossing for a long time, there are only so few?"

Bai Yan said: "It's about the same. If it's all made into sweet-scented osmanthus, there will be about three small cans. When the time comes, I will give one can to Uncle Han, and I will give you one can at home. We will keep one can for ourselves, which can be used for cooking glutinous rice balls and soaking in water."

"What about the sweet-scented osmanthus wine?" Mu Xing asked.

"Let's use the next wave of flowers for the sweet-scented osmanthus wine. It will have to be brewed for at least half a year. Anyway, I can't drink it now."

"Small half a year..." Lying on the recliner, Mu Xing looked at the vast starry sky above his head, and suddenly fell into a trance.

They have been resting in Tonghua for more than a month.

Bai Yan also sighed: "At that time, I don't know what will happen."

After half a month, the candied sweet-scented osmanthus was ready to eat, and Mu Xing was finally able to move around for a long time.

And the first thing is to visit my aunt.

Early in the morning, she and Bai Yan went out to the Tonghua River, sitting in a lotus picking boat, pushed the dense lotus leaves, and went to the center of the lake.

In the midsummer season, the lotus flower pavilions, the little lady picking lotus tied a bright silk scarf, her jade-like hands contrasted with the green branches and leaves.With a twist of Hao's wrist, the green stem made a crisp sound, and a lotus flower fell into his hand.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, Mu Xing and Bai Yan also imitated lotus picking, and picked several lotus flowers with their own hands.Back on the shore, I weighed two taels of peeled lotus seeds by the river, held them with huge lotus leaves, and ate them while walking.

"Miss Xuan, go slowly~" The flower seller shouted Qing Lingling, and people couldn't help but feel happy when they heard it, "Big lotus, tender lotus seeds come to buy~"

"Here." Peeling off the skin of the lotus seeds, Mu Xing handed a handful of lotus seeds to Bai Yan.

Reaching out to take it, Bai Yan conveniently fed one to her.

Ordinary and quick movements are not eye-catching, and they are natural and unpretentious.

Sitting in the teahouse where he was resting, Mu Xing picked out the most beautiful lotus and wrapped its stem with a piece of rice paper that he kept at home.

She said to Bai Yan: "Tell me, what's the reason why my aunt insists on using good rice paper to wrap lotus flowers?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "It's normal for these artists to have some idiosyncrasies."

Mu Xing shook her head: "It's such a good paper, it's the right way to use it for drawing. You don't know how much she wasted in those years." Complaining was nothing but complaints, she still carefully wrapped the paper and smoothed out the wrinkles.

After thinking for a while, Mu Xing lowered his head and smiled again: "So in the past few years, I often think, how many good papers have escaped her evil hands."

The Mu family's ancestral hall is built under Tonghua Mountain, and the cemetery is in the mountain.Because it was just a daily worship, Mu Xing did not enter the ancestral hall, but just kowtowed at the door, and Guan Shan's servants took a detour to the cemetery.

When he was still some distance away from the cemetery, Mu Xing suddenly caught a glimpse of a person coming down from the front.

This area belongs to the Mu family's cemetery. Unless it is New Year's Eve and Qingming Festival, only Guan Shan's servants will come to patrol the mountain every day. There are few people there. How could a stranger suddenly come out?

"Who is that?" Mu Xing frowned.

The people who went down the mountain in front didn't expect to meet someone, so they were stunned for a moment.Hearing Mu Xing's question, a servant had already walked over to question and brought him over.

When the man approached, before the servants could speak, Fu Guang had already called out: "Isn't this the young master of the Feng family?"

She hurriedly said to Mu Xing: "Miss, this is the young master of the Feng family who put on the stage and sang that day. His name...what is his name..."

"I'm going down to Feng Yulou, Miss Mu." Just as he was speaking, the man came over and bowed to Mu Xing.

Uncle Han seemed to have just realized it, and said, "Girl, this is a child of the Feng family..."

It turned out to be from the Feng family.After confirming that he was not a villain, Mu Xing relaxed his attitude.After asking, she said again: "I don't know why Mr. Feng appeared on my family's grave?"

Glancing at Uncle Han, Mr. Feng made a look of sudden realization and said: "Ah, it turns out that this is the tomb of the Mu family. I offended you so abruptly. I'm very sorry. After playing around for a while, unexpectedly, I strayed off the road there and came here by mistake.”

Before Mu Xing could open his mouth, Uncle Han said, "That's it, the situation is extenuating, the situation is extenuating. Han Er, send Mr. Feng down the mountain."

Three times, five times and two times, Mr. Feng has already gone far.

Mu Xing was still puzzled: "It's strange... Where did he get here?"

Bai Yan said: "It should be fine. What ordinary people want to do, they wouldn't go to the cemetery to do it."

Nodding his head, Mu Xing didn't bother anymore, and continued to go to the cemetery.

The Mu family's cemetery is very neat and grand. Looking at the handwriting on the tombstones along the way, it seems that you can see the rise and fall of the Mu family's generation.

The cemetery belonging to Mu Chengxue is the innermost and the newest one.

Before approaching, Mu Xing saw the bunch of fresh flowers in front of the tombstone.

Frowning, she walked over a few steps and picked up the perfume lily.

The lilies looked freshly picked, especially dewy.

She wondered: "What's the matter? My aunt never loves Lily, who gave it to her?" She looked at Uncle Han, "Master, didn't you just come to clean it up two days ago? There were other people who came to visit before. aunt?"

Uncle Han lowered his eyes: "No, right...? I don't know..."

Mu Xing looked at the person in charge of the mountain again. That person also lowered his eyes and asked three questions.

"What's going on today..." It's useless to entangle, Mu Xing put the lily to a place slightly aside, and put the lotus he brought on it.

Putting down the things he brought, Fu Guang led the people back to the distance, leaving only Mu Xing and Bai Yan here.

Bai Yan took the basket and handed it to Mu Xing. Mu Xing took it, took out an oilcloth and spread it on the floor, and pulled Bai Yan to sit down.He took out the jug and three wine glasses and filled them up one by one.Two are here, and one is pushed to the grave.

Looking at the black and white photo on the tombstone, she coughed and said, "Well... Auntie, it's not a big deal to see you today, it's just..."

Putting her arms around Bai Yan, she smiled at the aunt in the photo: "I just want to tell you that I have found my lover, Bai Shuwan." She was very embarrassed, "Why is our Shu Wan very beautiful? ? I told her before, you will definitely like her."

Bai Yan didn't speak, she sat silently, looking at the woman in the photo who was laughing wantonly, listening to Mu Xing's different voice from the past.

Mu Xing pulled Bai Yan, and said slowly: "A lot has happened in the past few months, and I can't finish it in a few words. Anyway, although there may be discrepancies, the overall situation is no different from what you hoped for."

"I found someone I really love. Although it's not You Cheng, I know you must also like Shu Wan. She is very good, and I like her very much."

Mu Xing turned to look at Bai Yan and smiled, and Bai Yan gently grabbed her palm.

"Didn't I tell you before that I graduated early? I have also done a lot of business recently, and I am in the medical clinic at home..." Mu Xing paused.

"Recently... I haven't been to the clinic much recently. I'm busy with the pharmacy."

"Everyone in the family is also very good. Grandma is in good health. The Xiehe exam seems to be in the past few days. The second brother will definitely pass the exam. Everyone is very good and misses you very much."

"I miss you too."

Mu Xing took Bai Yan to see his aunt, on the one hand, because he missed her, and on the other hand, it also had the meaning of "passing the bright side" secretly.She thought that if there was only one person in the world who was willing to accept her relationship with Bai Yan, that person must be her aunt.

"Aunt has passed this test, and the future will definitely be fine." She comforted Bai Yan like this, but she was actually comforting herself.

She needs strength to face the unknown.

At the beginning of August in the Gregorian calendar, the two returned to Wenjiang in that shark-like white-covered boat.

After finally stepping on the ground, Bai Yan was thinking about where she was going to go back, and Mu Xing directly pulled her into the car.

"Where are we going?" Bai Yan asked.

Mu Xing looked mysterious: "I'll take you to see something."

The car was speeding, turned left and right, and turned into the British Concession.

"Go to your house?" Bai Yan hesitated, "Should I not go now?" Xu was "guilty", she always felt that the next second in Mu's house, Mrs. Mu would find out about her relationship with Mu Xing.

Mu Xing shook his head: "No."

Such a concise answer made Bai Yan full of speculation.After seeing a row of five-story pink and white buildings in front of him, the ball of speculation almost jumped out of his throat.

Uncle Song took the lead and led the two of them into one of the small white buildings.Standing downstairs, he gave the key to Mu Xing: "301 on the third floor."

Bai Yan's heart beat wildly.

Take the elevator to the third floor, turn left and walk to the door of 301. Mu Xing took out the key and opened the vermilion door.

Turning to look at Bai Yan, she slowly opened the door: "Go in, this is our home."

Hearing this sentence, Bai Yan was in a trance for a while. When she took a step, she felt like she was stepping on cotton, and every step was so erratic.

I am afraid that if I make a wrong step, I will fall out of my dream.

As soon as she entered the door, the first thing she saw was a huge window sill. Light green curtains were tied on both sides of the window sill, and the bright sunlight poured down, illuminating the entire living room.

The brown wooden floor is spread all the way, and the walls are painted beige. With the blue and white sofa and coffee table in the living room, it looks very fresh.

The room was not empty, there were some decorative paintings on the wall, and a beauty vase was placed on the high table by the window sill, and the lilies were in full bloom.

On the right side of the living room is the kitchen and dining room, which have been changed to light green wall paint and matched with off-white ceilings.On the left is the balcony, and a small garden is surrounded by a wrought iron fence.Ahead, there are two rooms with half-closed doors.

Standing in the living room, Bai Yan didn't know where to go first.

"Do you like it?" After closing the door, Mu Xing walked beside her.

"You..." Turning to look at her, Bai Yan wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

Mu Xing stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

"Shu Wan, this will be our home from now on."
