The afterglow of sunset dyed the cliffs and jungles red, and the autumn dusk was already a bit cool, but Zangxian Valley was as lively as the fiery afterglow at this time. Several venues were still noisy, and the competition was in full swing.
Lin Yan and Ming Qin Chaduo chose a pure place and walked together. The two pointed at the scenery and talked from time to time. As they got closer, they could hear their words mixed with slander. Lin Yan was preparing for his trip to Fanbang. .
Walking to the edge of a forest, Lin Yan pointed to a person sitting quietly by a stream not far away and asked with a smile in his eyes: "How do you say 'nonsense'?"
Mingqin Chaduo followed her finger and saw that the person was He Ran. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, saying: "Ask him about this. Although his words are ordinary, he must have a deep understanding of these two words. "After saying that, he turned around and left knowingly.
He Ran was throwing stones into the stream one by one, with a very focused look on his face, and Lin Yan didn't notice when he walked up to him.[
"What to do?"
When he heard the question, he turned his head and said with a smile: "It's you, smashing the little fish."
Lin Yan's heart ached with envy, and he sighed: "I really have a leisurely mind, I really know how to play, and I play so hard. This state of mind... I'm afraid no child over ten years old will ever have it again."
He Ran curled his lips and said: "I have heard this kind of ridicule too much. They keep saying this to me, so your words are not new."
Lin Yan shook his head and said: "I am sincerely envious, not sarcastic. Only those who are at odds with the world can retain their childlike innocence. The temperament revealed inadvertently when alone is the true temperament."
"Really? Then you are my confidant." He Ran chuckled and threw the stones in his hands into the stream, then clapped his hands and stopped picking them up.
"Keep playing, keep playing, I haven't watched the scene for a long time." Lin Yan sat down on the bluestone next to him, picked up a stone and threw it at the small fish between the stones, with an innocent smile on his pretty face, It seems that I have found the feeling of childhood.
He Ran said disdainfully: "You are just playing around. I want to drive these small fishes under another rock and then drive them back."
Lin Yan chuckled and said, "You are really naughty than a child!"
"This is called knowing how to play." He Ran was quite proud, "Is this period okay? Are you still used to living in the valley? The house you live in has been inhabited for a long time, so you have been neglecting it. I really can't choose in this valley. A better place.”
"Sister, they have said this several times, so please stop saying it. I am not that delicate and live well."
"It's time to explore the valley, but is it as good as rumored?"
Lin Yan sighed: "It's much better than the rumors. It's just a blessed place on earth. I don't know how many lifetimes it takes to live there."
"Your evaluation is too high. It's not rich yet, it's just that there are more games."
Lin Yan said disapprovingly: "Games require a state of mind. People who are depressed are those who play games."
He Ran retorted: "Otherwise, take me for example. I am bored to death when I have to deal with state and family affairs all day long, but I still have a lot of fun at the same time?"
Lin Yan snorted and said: "Don't be a good boy for taking advantage of others. Put aside the national affairs and marry so many beautiful women. Where does your family trouble come from? They are as close as sisters, and they all have a deep love for you. If you say something unkind, be careful not to be struck by lightning."
He Ran laughed and threw a stone, which knocked away a wild bird that was looking for food in the grass.
Lin Yan rested his elbows on his knees, held his cheeks in his hands and looked at him with wide eyes, and said seriously: "Let me take a closer look at you." [
He Ran thought to himself, here we go again, this talented woman is so bold in playing ambiguous, he said a little embarrassed: "What's so good about me, I can barely be considered handsome."
Lin Yan smiled slightly, and then looked at it carefully as if he had just met him for the first time.
He Ran felt a little embarrassed by her and said with a smile: "Do you need me to wash my face in the stream while you watch?"
Lin Yan ignored him and looked at him for a while before saying, "I can't see you clearly anymore."
"You read too much and your eyes are damaged."
"Go!" Lin Yan smiled and scolded, "I mean I can't guess how capable you are. The only word I can use is enigmatic."
He Ran said proudly: "The panic escape from Bafu City was purely an accident. It happened that you caught up with me. Except for that time, I was always planning to win. I can plan a victory not only thousands of miles away, but also thousands of miles away." Inside and outside.”
Mentioning the past, Lin Yan pursed his lips and smiled, then put away his smile and said: "You have already earned the reputation of a 'magical strategist' in terms of military service. There is no need for me, an outsider, to praise you in this regard. In Ringing Bell City and Cangxian Valley, I I have also seen your ability to govern the country. Under the New Deal, all the people are happy. In my opinion, only the wise kings of ancient times can compare with you, or you are better than you. Although I only have a brief understanding of the New Deal, I have deep feelings about it. , the sages said that governing a country with benevolence and virtue is not as good as this, and the formulation of 'returning government to the people' is inspiring."
"Go on, I always like flattery, especially praise from famous people. You are a talented woman recognized by the world. Listening to your praise is like drinking liqueur. Looking at our past friendship, you have to praise me to death today. I want to change my mind. The conversation will have to wait until tomorrow."
Lin Yan glanced at him with a smile and said: "I just want to praise you today. Not to mention your great talents, you taught many games in the valley?"
"Uh...most likely."
Lin Yan lifted up the apricot-yellow skirt a little and pointed at the exposed stockings, "Xiao Zhu gave it to me. It was also taught by you, as well as toothbrushes and the like."
"Yes..." He Ran replied blinking his eyes.
Lin Yan looked at him, with a faint layer of mist in his eyes, "You also made those dishes yesterday."
"Does it taste good? I can teach you this. Oh, yes, you don't know how to cook. Then I can teach Lu Mo. If you want to eat it later, let her cook it for you." He Ran heard that it was not good, I want to grasp the direction of the conversation and give enthusiastic suggestions.
"That's very good, but let's talk about it later. What I want to ask is, are these talents taught by your respected master?" Lin Yan would not let others distract him easily.
"Yes, if it wasn't taught by the master, how could I know so much?"
The fog in Lin Yan's eyes became thicker, and he said calmly: "It seems that I am ignorant. I thought that there is no such master in the world. It is extremely rare to be able to achieve the goal of general and general. That is just an exaggeration." , Looking at the sages who have received this special reputation in the past, most of them were outstanding in one aspect, either good at war or good at governing the country, but less accomplished in another aspect. Can you really use soldiers like a god and govern the country like a god like you? It is unique, not to mention you have made so many novel things. What puzzles me the most is that you are actually good at cooking. This is something that servants do. Not to mention sages, even ordinary scribes disdain this. .”
He Ran smiled and said: "This is not taught by the master, I learned it from the cook. Hehe, I am a greedy person. When I first learned the art, I always sneaked to the kitchen. I learned it after I went there often. A few things.”
"Oh..., I heard that some scribes are imitating your lyrics now, especially the song 'I am Shanshui Lang of Qingdu' which is the most popular. They say this is what you sang when General Hua sent you away from Kang State. It has long and short sentences. Mixed, catchy, and lyrics can be written according to rhymes, it has become a new style of writing. Everyone is competing to come up with rhymes, and various sentence patterns have evolved, and there are more and more. Many celebrities I met during this trip all use This is pleasure and this is elegance."
"These are the little songs we have over there. Some of them were written by my master or even my master. We disciples are not very good at writing, and our master doesn't approve of us spending too much energy on this, so I only know a few songs."
"That's right..." Lin Yan nodded slightly, "I heard that the layout of Zangxian Valley was created by you, and the houses in Yixin Garden were also built by you based on your drawings." [
He Ran felt a little panicked. This talented woman was so good at classifying and summarizing. He chuckled and said: "Master often teaches us that whether we are in charge of soldiers or in power, we must know some civil engineering. Small tricks will make you laugh."
