The mountain night is very quiet, the bonfire is burning brightly, the young faces are red, the aroma of meat is wafting, and the wind becomes particularly warm.

Everyone looked like young men in their prime. At this time, they were sitting together, chatting and laughing, drinking wine and eating meat. All the grudges and unpleasantness were blown away by the wind, as if they were a group of old friends whom they had not seen for a long time. The atmosphere was lively and harmonious.

Duan Wei was slightly older than them, so he was a little more stable, while Luo Yuezhen also sat dignifiedly, only smiling slightly as she watched everyone laugh or talk about interesting things.

She has never had such a feeling of chatting casually, relaxedly and comfortably.

Xiao Si told some strange things that she encountered when she went down the mountain with her master. Everyone was very interested. Shen Jing heard that the name of the place she mentioned was Huaguo, so he asked, "Are you going to Huaguo?"

Xiao Si nodded, "I lived in China when I was a child. When I was about five or six years old, I came to the border between China and Myanmar with my master. However, I am not very sure whether I am a Chinese or a Burmese."

Shen Jing asked again, "Where are your parents?"

She now holds the title of the eldest lady of the Zhao family, but everyone here is discerning, and almost everyone knows that Zheng Xianhe and his wife are not Zhao Sijin's biological parents.

"I only have master." Xiao Si said, his tone was calm, without any self-pity.

A girl who grows up with her master will most likely be abandoned by her parents.

Duan Yanghong thought about Xiao Si's unusual abilities, and thought that maybe her parents thought she was different from ordinary people, so they abandoned her. Later, her master picked her up and took her with her to raise her.

However, he didn't like others looking at Xiaosi with sympathetic eyes, so he said, "Your parents may have some compelling difficulties, and maybe one day they will come to find you."

Shen Jing looked at Xiao Xi with soft eyes, "Brother is right, they will definitely come to you."

Xiao Si didn't feel as much as they did, and she didn't feel that she was pitiful without her parents. Her master was very kind to her, and she had always been very happy. She didn't explain it, knowing that everyone was kind to her. , so I just smiled slightly.

Nian Nian looked at Xiao Si, her eyes no longer had as much hostility as before, because she had been targeting Xiao Si before, but she felt a little guilty. She raised her hand and pushed a rabbit that was about to be roasted towards Xiao Si without leaving a trace. one time.

This topic was a bit serious, so everyone changed the subject in unison and continued to talk about other things, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

The sky was high and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. When everyone got a little tired, they lay on their backs on the grass and looked at the faith in the sky through the branches and leaves. It was a unique experience.

The breeze blew over my face and passed through my flying hair. It seemed that my whole person became lighter, and all the trivial matters had gone with the wind.

Xiao Xi half-squinted his eyes, as if he had returned to the mountain, feeling happy and carefree from head to toe.

In the grass, the palm of my hand was suddenly covered by someone's palm, and then gently held in the palm of my hand.

Xiao Xi turned his head slightly and looked at the man on the left. Duan Yanghong's long eyes were slightly lowered. He didn't know if he was looking at the mountains in the distance or if he was sleeping with his eyes closed. In the dim profile, his profile was clear-cut, handsome and calm as usual, as if he was holding her hand. The person is not him.

Xiao Xi calmly turned his wrist, scratched his little finger in his hand, and was immediately held tightly by him, holding it in his hand again.

Xiao Xi didn't move anymore, and let him hold her hand. A numb feeling flowed from the palm of their hand to the whole body along the blood vessels, making people nervous, happy, and the heartbeat accelerated...

Xiao Si likes this feeling that is new to her, like she owns the entire mountain.

She was still looking at the night sky with half-closed eyes, feeling so comfortable that she felt sleepy.

Next to Xiao Xi, Luo Yuezhen was also lying on the grass. To her, this was definitely an act that was "unbridled" and "against a lady". In her twenty-five years of life, she had never been so indulgent.

However, there is no upper class society that suffocates her, no father's harsh words, no eyes that are always staring at her. There are only mountains, stars, moonlight, and no one staring at her all the time, allowing her to do as she pleases.

Across the bonfire, two brothers, Nian Nian and Shen Jing, were whispering. It seemed that Nian Nian had told some joke, and Shen Jing laughed at her joke.

Xiao Si on the left seemed to be asleep, and Duan Wei on the right was slowly drinking. The faint aroma of wine kept flowing along her facial features and into her mind. She seemed to be exposed to a novel world, and the mellow aroma of wine made her even more excited.

After a long time, the moon had risen in the sky, the fire gradually extinguished, and the dew wetted the grass blades. Duan Wei's drunken, mellow and deep voice called everyone to get up and go back to the tent to sleep.

If I really slept on the grass all night and was beaten by dew all night, my head would be heavy and my whole body would be sore. There would be no need to go up the mountain tomorrow morning.

Luo Yuezhen was the first to get up. Ah Xing was asleep next to her leaning on a tree trunk. When Luo Yuezhen moved, she woke up immediately, rubbed her eyes and called out "Miss".

Duan Wei said, "Miss Luo, please go back to sleep. If something happens at night, just shout out. There are guards around you, and we are very close."

Luo Yuezhen nodded, "Yes."

Duan Wei took out some more medicine and handed it to Axing, "Spread this around the tent to prevent insects and ants."

Ah Xing hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Duan."

Xiao Xi narrowed his eyes for a while, then stood up. As soon as she moved, Duan Yanghong immediately let go of her hand. Her hand was a little numb from his hold. She moved her fingers and looked at Duan Yanghong in confusion. She also Thought he had fallen asleep long ago.

"Xiao Si, do you want to go back to sleep?" Luo Yuezhen asked.

"Go." Xiao Si stood up and glanced at Duan Yanghong. Seeing that his eyes were still closed, he didn't say goodbye to him.

Duan Wei also gave Xiao Si a bottle of anti-insect medicine. No insects or ants would come near Xiao Si, so Xiao Si still took it. After thanking him, he and Luo Yuezhen went back to the tent to sleep.

Niannian fell asleep early, and Shen Jing carried her back to the tent. When he came out, he saw Duan Yanghong still lying on the ground, with one hand behind his head and half-squinted eyes looking at the sky.

"Brother, aren't you going to bed yet?" Shen Jing asked.

"Wait a while." Duan Yanghong turned his head and looked at Duan Wei, "Do you have any more wine?"

Duan Wei came over with a wine bottle, sat next to him, handed him the wine bottle, and said with a smile, "You are still drinking at this time, don't you want to sleep anymore?"

Duan Yanghong raised his head and took a sip of wine. The clear wine rolled down his thin red lips and into his neck. He sat up, bent his long legs, and his long eyes hid the night, dark and deep, "Second uncle..."

"Huh?" Duan Wei turned around and looked over, intuitively thinking that he had something to say.

Duan Yanghong didn't say any more, he paused, his eyes sparkled when he turned his head, and he said with a smile, "Isn't it time for my second uncle to find a wife?"

Duan Wei glanced at him and said, "That's not what I was talking about just now."

"I'm serious." Duan Yanghong smiled slightly and took another sip of wine.

Duan Wei lazily said, "As you get older, you are most comfortable alone. No matter what kind of wife you marry, you will be like this for the rest of your life."

"Those who don't know better think that my second uncle has been hurt by love, so he will never marry again." Duan Yanghong said half-jokingly.

"I have experienced too much. I have already seen through the world. I married a wife and had children. I was either restrained, entangled in women's competition and jealous in public, or I lingered outside, not going home all day, and being resented by the women and children at home. None of these things are mine.

Wanted.”

Duan Yanghong turned to look at him, "I don't think my second uncle has met the person who makes you willing to stay at home and feel satisfied as long as you keep her."

Duan Wei shook his head and laughed at himself, "There will never be such a person."

He then asked Duan Yanghong, "Have you ever encountered him?"

Duan Yanghong threw the wine bottle to him, lowered his eyes and smiled, "Maybe."

He added, "Second uncle drinks alone and looks at the mountains and rivers. Isn't it because he is lonely?"
