It was the afternoon of the third day when the two carriages arrived at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. The snow-capped mountains illuminated by the setting sun turned an ambiguous red color, and the crystal ice flowers on the branches were shining brightly.
Xiao Ninglan abandoned the carriage and walked up the mountain with the baby girl and Yan Xiaoyu in her arms. The mountain road was steep and the snow had not yet melted, so the two of them walked extremely slowly. Yan Xiaoyu exhaled and her face turned red. She looked at the calm
Xiao Ninglan said, "Otherwise, Yun Duo and I are waiting for you in the carriage at the bottom of the mountain. You go up, pack the things you need to bring, and come down the mountain immediately to meet us?"
Xiao Ninglan shook her head, "I'm not worried about you being alone. It's better to work harder and go up the mountain together, and we'll stay one night on the mountain before going down."
Yan Xiaoyu was panting and leaned against a tree on the side. Snowflakes fell from the branches and fell on her black hair. She shook her head. The snowflakes did not fall, but melted on her head.
She reached out to touch the water droplets on her cheeks and gasped, "Are you tired while holding Yunduo? Leave it to me. You can take a rest."
She stretched out her hand to take the child. When Xiao Ninglan saw her tired little face flushed, she smiled and handed Yun Duo to her. Then she took out a handkerchief from the package behind her and wiped the water droplets on her cheeks and the tip of her nose.
of thin sweat.
Suddenly, three men dressed as bandits emerged from the jungle. The men were holding sharp knives. The leader had a sly look on his face. The knife in his hand flashed with a glaring luster and he said fiercely, "Those who have no money, leave your life behind."
, If it’s going to kill you, just keep the money!”
Yan Xiaoyu didn't quite understand what they said, but looked at them in surprise. Xiao Ninglan calmly put the handkerchief back into the package and asked Yan Xiaoyu, "What do they mean?"
Yan Xiaoyu frowned and puffed out her mouth, "They seem to be robbing!"
"Robbery?" Xiao Ninglan raised her voice as if hearing this word for the first time.
When several bandits saw this young couple, they suspected of scorning them. They immediately took a few steps forward, shaking the knives in their hands even more fiercely. "Yes, we are robbers. If you are sensible, we should quickly take away all the silver and gold."
Hand it over, otherwise don’t blame grandpa for being rude!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ninglan had already been slapped by Xiao Ninglan. No one saw how he made the move. They only saw his sleeves moving. Several people were stunned for a few times and angrily stepped forward to attack Xiao Ninglan.
Yan Xiaoyu took a few steps back with the child in her arms, snowflakes flying, and she shouted loudly, "Ning Lan, just teach them a lesson, don't hurt their lives!"
Xiao Ninglan turned around and smiled, but his fist felt like he had eyes, and landed on the chin of the leader of the bandit. He responded coolly, "I know, as long as they are willing to carry you up the mountain, I won't kill them!"
Yan Xiaoyu blinked her eyes, digesting the meaning of his words, and carried her up the mountain? This was a good idea. Before she had time to ask the bandits what they meant, the bandits who were forced into a blind corner knelt down with a "thump" and kowtowed,
"Uncle, we are willing, we are willing to carry my wife up the mountain, please be noble and let us go..."
Xiao Ninglan smiled coldly and took a few steps back to make way for the bandit. The bandit immediately became busy, cutting wood nearby to make a simple two-person sedan chair.
Xiao Ninglan and Yan Xiaoyu were sitting in the snow, leaning against each other and munching on dry food. Yan Xiaoyu reached out and wiped away the crumbs from the corners of Xiao Ninglan's lips, "Is it delicious? I'll prepare some delicious food for you when we go up the mountain."
"What will you do?" Xiao Ninglan smiled, brushed away the hair from Yan Xiaoyu's cheek, and pressed a light kiss on her fair face.
"I can learn whatever you want to eat..." Yan Xiaoyu's big black and white eyes were pure and without any impurities.
"No, I'll make it for you whatever you want to eat." Xiao Ninglan looked at her dotingly, with deep eyes filled with helplessness. He wanted to compensate her for all the happiness in his life within this year.
, I don’t know if it’s too late or not.
"Ning Lan, don't do this to me, I will cry..." Yan Xiaoyu hugged Xiao Ninglan and gently touched his shoulder with her chin.
"Fool, in this life, I only enter the kitchen for the one I love!" Xiao Ninglan gently rubbed her hair, looking at the sleeping baby in the cradle next to her, a satisfied smile appeared on her handsome face.
"Ning Lan, can I make an unreasonable request?" Yan Xiaoyu carefully looked at Xiao Ninglan's face and spoke in a very low voice.
Xiao Ninglan hesitated for a long time before speaking softly, "Please tell me..."
"I want to have a child of yours that truly belongs to you and me, so that even if I lose you in the future, I can still take the child with me and miss you for the rest of my life." Yan Xiaoyu kept lowering her head, looking at her exposed skin.
His face was already red.
Xiao Ninglan looked at her steadily and remained silent. She just took Yunduo out of the cradle and held her in her arms.
Yan Xiaoyu didn't hear his voice for a long time, then she raised her head and saw him holding Yun Duo. She thought he was afraid that she would treat Yun Duo poorly if she had his child, so she frowned anxiously and said, "I promise, Yun Duo and our
Children, I will treat them the same, and I will not throw away the clouds again..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Ninglan had already reached out and covered her lips. He looked at her quietly for a while, then said, "I'm afraid. If you have our child, it will be even harder for you to leave me."
Come out of the shock.”
"No, no, I promise not. I will live a good life even more after I have a child. Ning Lan, the relationship between us can no longer be drawn by our eternal alliance. Do you still expect me to forget you after your death?
You?" Yan Xiaoyu started to cry. She held Xiao Ninglan's hand tightly and burst into tears.
"Fool." Xiao Ninglan sighed lightly, gently hugged Yan Xiaoyu's shoulders, and kissed away the tears on her cheeks.
"Ning Lan..." Yan Xiaoyu looked at him with tearful eyes, her soft lips found his thin lips, and kissed him tentatively.
Xiao Ninglan looked back at her deeply, and their eyes met in the air. In addition to affection, there was also lingering feeling, and more importantly, helplessness.
He took the initiative to kiss her soft lips and murmured between her lips, "I promise you, we will have a child of our own..."
Yan Xiaoyu closed her eyes and suppressed herself from choking. His warm thin lips were still on her lips. Her tears rolled down his beautiful cheeks. The helplessness and pain in his eyes deepened. His slender hands caressed her.
He touched her slender waist and moved his thin lips to her sensitive ears, "Let's go, let's go up the mountain to do things, and make plans for the children..."
