Chu Yunning stood at the foot of the mountain for a while before starting to go up the mountain. In fact, the mountain was not too high, but Chu Yunning felt that the road was too long.
Halfway up the mountain, Xiao Jingheng pointed to a small pavilion in an empty place not far away: "When the weather is good, Chu'er will come here to sit. This child is very good at painting."
Looking at the small pavilion, it is surrounded by lush green trees, and there are occasional birdsong in the sky. The air is fresh, and it is really cool and comfortable to sit here.
She could even imagine a frail young man standing in the pavilion, looking at the scenery, trees, and birds with confused and innocent eyes, with a simple smile on his face from time to time.
After taking a few steps forward, Xiao Jingheng pointed at an archery target: "Chu'er's archery skills are very accurate, but he doesn't have much strength and can't always pull the bow."
As soon as he finished speaking, tears burst out of Chu Yunning's eyes and she bit her lip tightly. Chu'er must really like archery.
Boys are naturally attracted to bows and arrows, and the same was true for Beibei when she was a child. She made a straw handle and trained Beibei's grasping ability bit by bit.
Continuing to walk up, Chu Yunning saw the shape of a roof not far away. She turned her head and looked at Xiao Jingheng: "This is it?"
"Where Chu'er lives."
This place is very quiet. If Xiao Jingheng hadn't led him all the way up the mountain, most people would never have found it.
Walking up a path, we soon arrived at the small square yard under the eaves. It was not big but very exquisite. The house was fully furnished and the yard was cleaned cleanly.
Chu Yunning looked around. There was no one in the yard, it was empty.
"Chu'er should have gone to the back mountain to feed the fish at this time." Xiao Jingheng said.
"It's okay, there's no rush." Chu Yunning was much calmer now. She continued to look at the place where Chu'er lived, and entered the study. The scent of ink hit her face, the breeze blew by, and the tables were neatly arranged.
Holding a stack of papers, she picked up a piece and looked at it.
The neat handwriting looks like a copy from a printer.
"This handwriting is prettier than Beibei's." Beibei's handwriting was so flamboyant that she spent a lot of effort to correct it.
I didn't expect that Chu'er could write so well at such a young age.
She read every piece of paper carefully and concluded that Chu'er was very self-disciplined, careful and conscientious in her work, and had great endurance.
There are also several paintings hanging around the study room, showing various small animals, buffaloes, tigers, and then slowly turning into a bamboo forest, which is very artistic.
"In those years, Chu'er was in poor health and could only pass the boring time with a pen."
Xiao Jingheng also felt sorry for this child. His life was too hard, but he was too well-behaved.
At that time, he did not take Chu Er with him to raise him. Firstly, Chu'er was in poor health and often had to take medicine and could not leave the Jokhang Temple. Secondly, he himself was not in good health and was worried that Chu'er would be exposed and he would not be able to protect him after his death.
Chu Er.
Therefore, I could only visit Chu Er quietly in private.
Chu Yunning sniffed and choked with sobs. She will do her best to compensate Chu'er for the rest of her life.
Suddenly, a childish voice came to my ears.
"Uncle Huang!"
Chu Yunning suddenly looked up and saw a thin young boy wearing a plain gown, his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin, looking exactly like a little book boy.
Her young face is abnormally white, and her big, bright eyes are particularly beautiful.
The little boy held a wooden box in one hand and walked slowly towards this side, with a bright smile of surprise on his face.
Jamel Xiao stretched out his hand and rubbed the little boy's head: "He has grown a lot taller. Who is that?"
He moved away, and Chu Er followed his gaze and looked at Chu Yunning. His expression changed from confusion and surprise to surprise. He shyly turned his head and glanced at Xiao Jingheng, as if to confirm something.
Xiao Jingheng nodded slightly at Chu'er and gave him an encouraging look.
Chu'er held the food box in her hand tightly and cautiously stepped out. Chu Yunning also walked towards him. Chu'er was already as high as her ears. Her body was slightly thin, her complexion was bright and white, and she looked like she had a lot of energy.
Somewhat weak.
"Are you my mother?" Chu'er's voice was also soft, as gentle as the spring breeze, and felt comfortable in the ears.
Chu Yunning nodded; "Yes, I am mother, and my name is Chu Yunning."
Chu'er smiled softly and shouted: "Mother, I am Chu'er."
"I know." The two of them stood together. Chu'er's personality was a little quiet, and he would cover his mouth and cough from time to time. After getting familiar with Chu Yunning, he took her and started to introduce the surrounding environment.
Chu Yunning listened patiently, held Chu'er's slender and cold hand, and gently probed his pulse with her fingertips. She frowned subconsciously. Chu'er's condition was not optimistic. It was even worse than the last time he checked.
It got even more serious, and I imagined that my internal organs were gradually failing.
Chu'er took out three amulets from his arms: "This is the peace amulet I asked for for Buddha's birthday last month. There is a constant war outside. One is for the emperor, one for my mother, and one for Beibei."
"Do you know Beibei?" Chu Yunning was surprised.
One of the two children has not been around since childhood, and the other has been around to take care of them all the time. The world of difference made Chu Yunning feel even more guilty.
"Of course I know, Uncle Huang told me." Chu Er raised a smile: "Uncle Huang also said that when I recover, I can reunite with my mother and Beibei. Mother, I have always been obedient.
Take medicine.”
As he spoke, Chu Er coughed twice more. His face turned red when he coughed. Seeing this, Chu Yunning quickly reached out and patted his back. It took a while before he could breathe again.
Chu'er smiled apologetically; "Don't worry, mother, I'm much better than before."
"Well!" Chu Yunning felt uncomfortable but couldn't say it. She was worried that it would bring a burden to Chu'er.
She glanced at the time: "Chu'er, can mother cook for you?"
"good."
Chu Yunning turned around and went to the kitchen. On the way, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears. Xiao Jingheng comforted Chu'er and came over. He took her into his arms and comforted her gently: "Why are you crying?"
"The wind has blinded my eyes." Chu Yunning raised her hand to wipe her eyes and sniffed; "Chu'er has been raised well over the years. He is polite and has an extraordinary temperament. Every move he makes is dignified and elegant. Please take the trouble.
.”
At this moment, Chu Yunning burst into tears of gratitude to Xiao Jingheng.
