220 People from the mountains

That night, Hua Xi told me a lot. She told me frankly that although at the beginning, she hated me a little and hated me repeatedly and almost took away her brother Banxia. But later, she was relieved. She said that now that I am the mother of a child, it is impossible to be with Banxia anyway.

Although she felt that her idea was selfish, she was still very happy about the result.

Later, she asked me again, will I bless her and Banxia? Looking at this young girl who is in love, she almost puts everything down to fight and defend for her love. In front of me, I spoiled her like that, how could I say the words that made her sad?

I said I would bless her. In the future, when they get married, I will personally hand her hand to Banxia. I also promised that when the child was born, I would make Banxia the child's godfather and Hua Xi become the godmother.

Hearing what I said, Huaxi was so happy that she almost burst into tears.

Because of this, the misunderstanding between me and Huaxi has been completely resolved. In the following days, I took care of my fetus in Wuyou Valley and drank the medicine given to me by Yi Banxia every day, but Huaxi regularly reported my physical condition to the ghosts and old monsters. Banxia has rarely talked to me, but he is not as indifferent as before. What reassures me is that he has always been very concerned about me and the children in my womb. Every three or two days, he will still take my pulse for himself. If he sees that my joy is too serious, his expression will be harder than his own.

Sometimes when I see him so worried, I just can't wait to give birth to the child immediately, so that I can suffer less and worry less in Banxia. But in October, no matter how hard it is, it can't be rushed. Just in my heart, I have regarded Banxia as my closest person in the world. In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and it would be New Year's Eve in two days. The ghosts and monsters went out of the mountain again and went to Kyoto to buy some necessities as usual. Moreover, when I have children, ghosts and monsters have added more wooden pots or cloth pieces for production.

On the day of New Year's Eve, I was in Wuyou Valley. Although I had never felt the atmosphere of the New Year, there were half summer and ghosts and old flowers sitting together, and my heart was still warm. In modern times, there was usually nothing fun at this time. It was nothing more than watching some Spring Festival Gala or playing mahjong with a few friends all night. Now, there is still some atmosphere during the Spring Festival here. I heard from Huaxi that the capital is very lively. At this time, festive window flowers should be pasted on the windows of every household, inverted blessings and Spring Festival couplets should be pasted on the door, and round red lanterns should be hung under the eaves to add a festive atmosphere. Two days ago, many people also went to sacrifice to the Kitchen God, which is almost no longer held in modern times, which makes me feel very fresh and interesting. Unfortunately, in the Wuyou Valley, there are only a few of us who come and go, and it's nothing to play.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Banxia did not leave silently as usual. On the contrary, after serving the ghost and the old monster and falling asleep, he came to my room with Hua Xi.

I don't know where I got the red paper and scissors. He looked at me dryly and smiled and said, "Yu Han, in the new year, although I can't give you a lively Spring Festival atmosphere like in the capital, I don't want you to be too lonely on New Year's Eve and miss your loved ones. Let's play the paper-cutting game?"

I haven't heard him say such warm words for a long time, coupled with today's special holiday, I only felt mixed feelings for a while.

There are tears in your eyes, and you can hold back desperately. It's a good festival and you can cry?

At this moment, I nodded and said, "Okay, although I can't, learn from you."

Huaxi jumped up and said, "Oh, my brother's paper-cut is the best, especially the plum blossoms, which are exquisite and meticulous."

"Real?" I also smiled and looked at Banxia with admiration.

Banxia smiled shyly, but his expression was still a touch of thick depression.

He said, "I haven't cut it for a long time. My hands are born."

"It's okay. Anyway, it's all seen by people at home, and no outsiders will laugh."

That's it. All night, we played a paper-cutting game. The plum blossoms cut in half summer are really beautiful and lifelike. If you stick it on the wall, it feels like a painting. I never thought that he was so beautiful and his craftsmanship was so extraordinary. Brother, do you think I cut it well? Huaxi put down the scissors and showed the cut window flowers to Banxia. This is what Huaxi just learned from Banxia. Like me, she can't cut too complicated patterns and can only cut a few simple words. Banxia is not simple. He can cut these exquisite, beautiful and tedious patterns such as "Plum Blossom", "Peacock Peony" and "Cuiyue Dragon Gate".

Although there are not many flowers, she looked very proud and pasted the Fu character she cut in front of my window. Not bad." Banxia said and looked at me with a smile. I stared at what she cut in her hand and stared carefully, "Well, that's good, but I also want to cut it."

Hua listened, looked around and immediately handed over the scissors. As soon as I took it, she grabbed it with regret and said, "Ah, sister Yu, you can't do it."

"Why?" I looked at Huaxi puzzledly, and my heart only felt itchy.

Hua Xi pouted her lips and said, "I've heard that pregnant women can't hold scissors or needles at will, so as not to scare the child in her stomach."

After listening to Hua Xi's words, I smiled. His eyes turned and he came to Huaxi's side: "It's okay. The child is in his stomach and can't see it. How can he be scared?"

"Anyway, it won't work. In case something hits, it won't be good. So, Yu hates sister, you can take care of it at ease."

After listening, I stared at Banxia with some depression and said, "Bunxia, it seems that I still can't play tonight." Banxia put a cut peony in my hand, but smiled helplessly and said, "Just listen to Huaxi. What she said is reasonable. Since I can't cut it this year, I'll cut it for you. Next year, you can cut it yourself.

"Yes, the children will be born at this time next year. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Anyway, Yu hates my sister. You promised me that both men and women should recognize me as a godmother. Hey, brother, be a godfather. It's great that our family has been together all the time. Hua Xi's words with a smile suddenly made Banxia's body pause. He held the hand of the scissors and was slightly stunned. Hua Xi quickly sensed the strangeness of Banxia and looked at me. I looked up and was stunned, but I came to my senses in an instant, with a bitter smile on the corners of my lips, and then took Huaxi's hand and said, "Then you will suffer and suffer!" It's okay, I won't mind!" Hua Xi immediately responded with a smile, looked at my stomach and said with concern, "Brother, what do you think? Do you think it's troublesome to hate the child in your sister's womb? Anyway, I like it very much." I haven't heard the sound of children's play for a long time. Will this be troublesome? Banxia said, shaking her head with a smile, but her eyes became a little sad.

At this time, Hua Xi turned her head to look at me, but saw me staring at the ground in a daze and smiled, "Sister Yu Han, what do you think should be named for this child?" Ah?" I came to my senses, quickly looked at Banxia and Huaxi, smiled and said, "I don't know if it's a man or a woman. It's still early to name it." Hua Xi's eyes fell on my slightly bulging lower abdomen and couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "It's too early. It's still a few months to come out!" I smiled awkwardly and looked at Banxia uncomily. I saw his eyelids hanging down, and his handsome face was expressionless.

"Oh, you don't talk anymore. In this way, call the master to name it. My brother and I are both taken by the master, which is pleasant and simple.

When I saw Hua Xi say this, I nodded for the time being.

In this way, we spent the night happily with laughter.

The next morning, I got up early. Holding his waist but walking outside Wuyou Valley, he thought that the clear air outside was good for the fetus.

When I came back, I happened to meet Banxia. She is sorting out the medicinal herbs, with a focused and silent expression. Unconsciously, there was a touch of haze between the eyebrows.

Looking at the haze between his eyebrows, my heart ached slightly. I know that the unhappiness and sadness of this teenager are all caused by me. So, I walked over and thought of the paper cutting last night. Although he rarely smiled, he was not sincere.

I called with guilt: "Half summer..."

He turned around and saw that it was me. First, he was stunned, and then raised his lips. It's a feeling that you want to laugh, but you can't laugh.

"Why did you get up? It's thick in the morning. Be careful of getting cold." His voice is faint, but he can't hide his concern.

My heart was slightly warm and I buried my head and said, "Thank you, thank you for taking care of me and my children all the time."

He smiled coldly and said helplessly, "I still want to apologize to you."

"Why did you apologize to me?" I looked at him puzzledly.

"A few days ago, I had a bad attitude towards you. Yu Hen, I'm really sorry. I can't control my emotions, so I embarrassed you.

I shook my head quickly and said, "How can you say that? In fact, you are careful and considerate to me in my heart. It's just..."

"Just what..." At this moment, he looked at me eagerly.

"It's just that I'm a woman with children now, and I'm no longer as perfect as you think. So..."

"So...so what? So do you want me to hate you or push you away? He looked at me angrily.

This is the first time I saw him look at me like this. For a moment, I felt a little uncomfortable and said, "I didn't mean that. I just want to say that Huaxi is a good girl. She treats you..."

"Huaxi is very good, but I always know that she is just a junior sister." When it comes to his sister, he deliberately aggravated those two words. At the same time, even the tone is very different from usual.

I know that maybe he won't be happy to mention this. I don't want to make him angry anymore, so I have to stop talking.

However, his eyes slowly slipped from my face to my lower abdomen and said, "Don't worry, since you regard this place as your home, I will treat him with my heart when the child will be born in the future."

I looked up silently and looked at him. My eyes were a little cold, but there was a hidden care.

"I really appreciate Banxia."

"Don't thank me for taking care of your mother and son. I am willing. These days, I have been thinking for a long time. Even if you have children, I shouldn't do that to you.

"Half summer..."

"Maybe it's just that I can't accept it for a while. You have someone else's child in such a short time."

Listening to his words, my heart hurts again. Because his eyes are so arrogant and sad.

At this time, he smiled bitterly and comforted himself: "It's a good thing to come back with a child. I should be happy. At least in the future, there will be another person's laughter here. All this is better than disappearing into this world without any news!"

"So half summer, will you still talk to me in the future?" Thinking of these days when he was indifferent to me, I felt a little chilled.

He smiled at me and said, "Don't worry, I will never do anything so stupid and sad for you again."

"Really?"

"Really." He nodded his head and promised me.

At this moment, I know that he really let go of my disgust. Because those bright eyes are so clear and clean.

I nodded with the same smile and said, "Basha, it's really good to know you. Not only me, but also the children.

His smile, after a moment, froze with some hesitation. However, he raised his head and looked at me seriously: "Yu Hen, although I can do everything I can to take care of your mother and son, I have always had a doubt."

Although I vaguely guessed what he was going to say, I still said gently, "That's what you say." I don't want him to be sad anymore.

"You hardly mentioned the child's father. I just want to know if this child is voluntary?" When asked this question, his eyes were strangely bright, as if he was a little expectant and frightened. There is also a trace of unwillingness.

I understand what he thinks. After all, we separated for less than four months, and I came back with a child. They don't know much about things outside. For this inexplicable child, I never mentioned his father, let alone his relatives. Therefore, it is difficult for him to believe that I am the crystallization of people I love. He must have thought that I had been bullied or had no choice but to suffer.

I didn't want to mention it again, so I planned to hide it. However, I feel that Banxia in front of me has always been a sincere person to me. If I deceive him so perfunctorily, it will be too unfair to him.

So, I exhaled gently and said, " Banxia, I wanted to tell you my true identity, but you interrupted me and told you to tell you when I came back. Now that I'm back, I'll tell you directly that I used to be the third daughter of Prime Minister Chu, Chu Tianxiang.

When he heard this, he was not surprised, as if he was just surprised by my background.

"My elder sister, Chu Tianxue has harmed me many times. I fell off the cliff, which was also caused by her. That's why when I went down the mountain, the first thing I had to do was to assassinate her. During this period, I used to like a man crazily. His name is Xiao Qingyun, who is the prince of Liu Ruo. For a while, we couldn't be together because of a misunderstanding, and this time we returned..."

Before I finished speaking, Banxia muttered, "It turned out to be him, the prince of Liu Ruo, the future king, no wonder she is qualified to match you." At this moment, in addition to self-deprecating, he is more lonely and lonely.

I looked at his expression and said uneasily, "However, it's over. He wants to restore the country, and I want to live quietly. Fate has separated us, and in the future, we can no longer have intersection.

When he heard this, there was a trace of joy on his lost face. At that moment, he raised his face and said, "Is there any other reason for you to tell me except because you want to protect the child?"

Looking at his expectant and hot eyes, I don't want to break his heart anymore. So, I nodded silently and said, "In the last separation, you told me your birthday wish. You said that you hoped I could live a hundred years old, and then asked me to live back to Wuyou Valley. You also said that you can't let your wish fail. So, for this wish, I must come back here.

After listening to my words, he violated his former smile. That smile seems to make the sun and moon lightless and the stars astringent.

"So, in your heart, or because of my stay?" After leaving this sentence, he seemed to be a little inappropriate and said, "Is there any Huaxi and the master?"

"Yes, I said that you are my favorite relatives."

"Actually, Yu Hate, that time, in order to let you come back safely, I just distorted my wish. In fact, do you know what I really made that day?"

"What?"

"At the moment when the Kongming lamp was released that day, my wish was..."

When he didn't finish speaking, he saw Hua Xi coming over excitedly and stood beside the man breathlessly. Seeing me, he immediately smiled, took my hand and shouted sweetly, "Sister Yu Han, you are here. There seems to be someone coming from the mountain! It's so lively. Shall we go and have a look? I quickly held her, looked at her delicate face and smiled, "Who is it?" Huaxi shook her head and smiled, "I don't know. Anyway, when I see a young and handsome brother, I'm almost as beautiful as my senior brother!" Aren't you afraid that they are bad people?" I stared at Hua Xidao puzzledly.

"No, I just picked fruit from the tree and almost fell down. If my brother hadn't caught me, I would have been in pieces."

"Real?"

"Yes, he brought a lot of people around him, all of whom were so kind. They asked me about the way in the mountain and gave me a beautiful jade pendant." After saying that, Huaxi took out the thing, and then I took a look at it. The jade pendant was green and round, and she knew at a glance that it was not ordinary.

I looked back worriedly at Banxia, where he was alone. I suddenly thought of what he didn't finish just now, so I asked softly, "Basha, you just said your wish..."

"It's okay. The origin of these people is unknown, and they are so rich. Let's immediately ask the master to see what he wants to say."

After listening to Banxia's words, I also felt that it made sense. At present, I didn't dare to delay for a moment, so I went together.
