Just after the summer, the autumn wind has not risen, and the trees in the suburbs are yellow and red, blending with the water near and the mountains in the distance.
In the sky, the clouds floated slowly and leisurely like freshly bounced wool, as if slowing down the flow of time.
Cui Yu and a few female companions returned from enjoying chrysanthemums on the mountain, and a few people laughed and walked in a maple forest, and the crisp laughter penetrated the layers of maple leaves and drifted to the dark place where there was no sunlight in the forest.
"Sister Yan'er, the Zhang Gongzi I met on the mountain just now seems to have taken a fancy to you, he used the excuse that he got lost and accosted you, you have walked dozens of steps, I see that he is still standing in place staring at you."
Cui Yu covered her mouth with a folding fan, pretending that she had nothing to do with herself, and said the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
Yan'er was stunned for a moment, then blushed, she raised her hand and twisted it on Cui Yu's arm, "Did you see him staring at me?"
I didn't see it, you are quite interested in that Zhang Gongzi, to be honest, is it that you have moved your spring heart, and you can't pull it out?
Or, I'll tell your mother about this, and let her find a matchmaker to match the two of you?
Maybe it's a good marriage.
Yan'er was already sharp-tongued, and when she caught a good opportunity, she naturally wouldn't let it go easily, and with a gentle and clever remark, she said that Cuiyu was red-faced and red-eared, and she couldn't refute a word.
When the other sisters saw the two of them, they all gathered around, some held Cui Yu's arm, some shook her shoulders, and teased her, not leaving the son.
"What's wrong?
Did I guess right?
Yan'er saw that Cuiyu's little face was flushed, and even if she understood her thoughts, she snatched the fan that covered her face and said softly, "Good sister, you are not a child anymore, and you have reached the age of talking about marriage, if you really have a heart for that son, it is better to explain it to us, and the sisters can help you, marriage is such a thing, if you don't catch it when you come, it is likely that you will miss it, and when the time comes, you will cry." ” Seeing that someone had broken her heart, Cui Yu was annoyed and frightened, she stomped her feet fiercely, didn't even want a fan, covered her face and ran forward, Ren Yan'er called her behind her, she didn't stop, and disappeared after a while.
"You, there are some things that you can see and hide in your heart, so you have to put them on the surface and say, look, it was really possible to complete a pair of beautiful people, but now you can't mention it."
The older Jun Sheng reproached Yan'er.
"Isn't it for her good, you see that in the mountains just now, she was restless after seeing that Zhang Gongzi, she didn't appreciate the flowers well, looking for him everywhere in the crowd, I didn't hesitate for so long, and finally told my heart through me, I wanted to test her, but I was scared away."
Yan'er shrugged helplessly.
"Cui Yu is young, and her temperament is pure, the first time she is emotional, she will naturally be deeply rooted, and she will hide that little bit of careful thinking as a baby, and she is unwilling to say it to anyone, I advise you, don't mention this in front of her in the future, or she will blame you in the future, I won't help you."
Jun Sheng said angrily.
"Good sister, I know," Yan'er twisted Jun Sheng's arm coquettishly, "Please ask my sister to help me intercede with Miss Cuiyu, and say that I will never laugh at her again in the future." ” Jun Sheng lightly nodded Yan'er's forehead, and several people laughed again, and then stepped back on the forest path and walked in the direction of the sunset.
Until she couldn't hear the laughter behind her, Cui Yu slowed down, pinched a flower with her left hand, broke a branch with her right hand, and walked towards the front with a flick in her hand, her mind was full of Zhang Gongzi's clear and upright figure and that low and good voice, he said: "Miss, may I ask which of these two mountain roads is closer?"
” It was obviously Yan'er who he asked, but his heart was hung high, hanging in the air, shaking and shaking, and he has never been calm since then.
Cui Yu's face was red, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously provoked a smile, "I don't know if that Zhang Gongzi has noticed me," she looked down at her thin and incomplete body, and sighed deeply, "Definitely not, Yan'er and they are all dressed up beautifully, his eyes are straight, how could he notice me, a little girl who has not yet grown up." ” "But, I can't say," her eyes lit up, and her eyebrows became crooked, the girl Huaichun is like this, her mood is often ever-changing, cloudy and uncertain, and no one can see clearly or understand, "He may not dare to greet me, so he deliberately asked Yan'er for directions?"
Well, it must be so, he obviously glanced at me too, although it was only a glance, but it was all-encompassing, wider than heaven and earth. ” Thinking of this, Cui Yu's heart seemed to be opened all of a sudden, and she easily spread her wings and flew straight into the sky, she threw down the crushed flower bones in her hand, and strode forward.
But as soon as she took two steps, she stopped, her mouth slightly open, and she looked around.
Where is this?
Why isn't it the usual way home?
Also, when did the forest around him become so dense, so dense that even the sunlight penetrated drop by drop, not bright at all.
Cui Yu sighed, it seemed that because he was full of thoughts, he unconsciously deviated from the path back to the city and turned into the forest.
She is not in a hurry, she has not experienced such things as getting lost since she was a child, she only needs to find a clear direction of the sun first, and then walk in the right direction, and she will definitely be able to get out.
Cui Yu made a pergola with his hands and put it on his forehead, squinting his eyes and looking up, the sun, on this side, so the right hand side is the south, yes, as long as you keep walking south, you will definitely be able to return to the trail.
Finding the direction, Cui Yu unconsciously hummed a little song, she used the branches to pull the weeds in front of her, as if to clear the way for herself, striding forward.
"Hehe, the girl's voice is very beautiful, more beautiful than the song of the oriole in the tree."
There was a voice floating in the forest in front of him, the voice was thin and sharp, it was difficult to distinguish between men and women, like sharp claws, which pierced people's hearts and itched, and it was very uncomfortable.
Emerald Feather stopped, squinting her eyes and looking forward.
A man was faintly visible through the cracks in the forest, he was not tall, only half a head taller than her, wearing a homespun cloth, with a small melon skin hat crooked on his head, and looked in her direction with a half-oblique body.
