Chapter 48 Climbing

Jiang Ting and others followed Sun Zhongmin into Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain. Zhuangzi built very ordinary. On the periphery are some farmers who farm or take care of Taoyuan here, surrounded by the big manor of the Sun family. In fact, it is a big manor, because the Sun family rarely comes to live in, so it is not big, but it is much larger than the tenants who rent land around. Entering the yard, there was a row of five large houses. It looks like staying in the living room. Two rows of slightly lower houses were built on both sides of the house, which was obviously a place for people to live.

After bypassing the front hall, it is the backyard. Overall, the backyard is also separated from the front and back, and the three small courtyards divided in front are obviously intended for the male owner to live in. The three small courtyards behind are for the hostess. Jiang Ting and others naturally lived in the small courtyard behind. She lives in a separate room with Sun Yun, but there is still more than enough.

Sun Yun was eager to go to Taoyuan to pick peaches, so she pulled Jiang Ting to quickly change her equipment as Sun Zhongmin said. Because they had to take the mountain road and couldn't get on the carriage, they simply abandoned the carriage and walked there. Sun Yun was impatient with a group of girls to follow, so she and Jiang Ting only brought four people: Chunman, Xia Teng, Love Embroidery and Zhihua. In this way, she also specially told the four big maids to take care of each other and not to take care of them.

Jiang Ting and Sun Yun wore a cap on their heads, cloth clothes, and thick leather boots on their feet. As Sun Yun said before, they walked on the rugged mountain road like a zongzi, but after walking a miles, they couldn't stand it. Thanks to Sun Yun's good words at the beginning, before the mountain road was halfway, she began to pull Jiang Ting to gasp. Although Jiang Ting was a little better, she didn't go so far, so she began to breathe. And the four girls who came up with them also began to show fatigue. They are wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. There are a lot of gravel on this mountain road. Although the thousand-layer bottom is thick, it is not as hard as the stone. It must have been damaged.

"No one comes to this place all year round, only those farmers and subordinates take this road, so they haven't had much rest. Now it seems that it's too simple. The road is so difficult. I hope Sister Jiang won't be surprised. Sun Zhongmin followed the two servants who were resident in Zhuangzi to lead the way, while turning around and saying politely to Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting and Sun Yun were supporting each other and trying to catch up with Sun Zhongmin in front of them, so they didn't hear what he said for a moment.

"What do you say, second brother? Really, I shouldn't have listened to you wrap yourself up like this. Look, this road is so difficult, how can we go if we wrap it up like this? And why are these shoes so heavy? Sun Yun walked smoothly and naturally felt angry. When she spoke, she was angry. Maybe she was more relaxed in front of her brother, or maybe the second brother of the Sun family spoiled her boundlessly, and she unconsciously brought some petty in her tone.

Jiang Ting looked at Sun Yun in surprise and then looked at Sun Zhongmin, but saw that his face was full of smiles and there was no angry look at all. She explained kindly to Sun Yun, "Little sister, this mountain road is like this. The road is full of sand and gravel, and the slope is so high that it is naturally difficult to walk. Why don't we wait here for a while and let them go down to see if they can find two rattan chairs to carry you two to Taoyuan?

Sun Yun blushed and stared at Sun Zhongmin. She proposed to take the mountain road by herself. Now she has only taken such a little road and won't go. Doesn't it seem that she has no face? The second brother is really, doesn't this make Tingting feel that she has no perseverance? She straightened her little chest and said angrily, "No, I have to climb up by myself!"

Jiang Ting looked at Sun Yun, who seemed to suddenly become a little unreasonable, and then looked at Sun Zhongmin, who was obviously being yelled by her sister, but smiled like a flower, and suddenly felt very happy. Obviously, Sun Yun used to be so good-looking and easy-going and optimistic in front of her. Although she was not pretending, it also had something to do with her not doting on her. Now, in front of her second brother who spoils her, Sun Yun unconsciously reveals her little nature. However, in this way, Sun Yun is not a person who can't look at people's eyes. I'm afraid the reason why she couldn't make good friends before is that she is too impulsive and easy to offend people.

"Well, little sister, you heard from the second brother that we have only walked one-third of the road, and you two girls are so tired. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to go down the mountain? Besides, do you have the heart to let Sister Jiang suffer such a burden with you? If it's really like what you said, you have to climb up by yourself. When you go back, you have to get blood bubbles on your feet. In this case, what else do you want to play in the next few days? Let me tell you, there are not only peach orchards in our village. The other side of the mountain is also ours, and there is also a small waterfall and pool. The pool of water is clear, and there are beautiful red fish in it. And don't you always say that you haven't seen live frog tadpoles and crabs? I will have a chance to see it this time. However, if you all wear your feet out today, I won't dare to take you to play with water tomorrow. Sun Zhongmin persuaded Sun Yun with a very patient look and didn't stop talking until she was completely moved by her.

Sun Yun looked at Taoyuan, which was still very far away, and then looked at Jiang Ting. After a fight, she cowardly asked Jiang Ting, "Sister Ting, why don't we wait here for a while and ask someone to move the rattan chair and carry us up. Well, I want to see the frogs across the mountain tomorrow..."

Jiang Ting looked up at the sky speechlessly. This girl is really... If she can't even walk to the peach garden today, why would she want to run to the pool to see frogs tomorrow? Besides, what's wrong with this second brother Sun? Is there such a doting girl? Fortunately, Sun Yun has a good mother, so she doesn't have a crooked personality. Otherwise, Sun Yun would have to be raised by him for such a boundless doting.

Jiang Ting wanted to correct Sun Yun's character, so she deliberately ignored Sun Zhongmin's bowing silently and pretended to be naive and asked Sun Yun, "Sister Yun, didn't you say that you would walk there by yourself before? Moreover, we have come so far, it would be too troublesome for people to go back and move the rattan chair. Why don't we take a break and walk slowly later? At worst, let's play less in Taoyuan and come back quickly. Anyway, we have nothing else to do all afternoon, just hurry back before the sun goes down.
