The next day, the sky cleared up after the rain and the autumn breeze brought coolness. It was a good time for an outing.

There were four people in the group, Aying was driving, Xiao Zijian was sitting in the passenger seat, and Lu Shanmin and Ye Zixuan were sitting in the back seat.

The destination of this trip is called Fenglin Mountain. As the name suggests, in this season, the mountains should be filled with red maples.

As the car drove out of the East China Sea, the sky gradually became higher and bluer. The leaves of the white poplars on both sides of the road had begun to turn yellow. The sunshine after the rain was warm and bright, forming mottled light spots on the road through the street trees on both sides.

The rice in the rice fields is shining golden, and from time to time you can see hard-working old farmers busy in the fields.

The mountains in the distance are stacked on top of each other, as if they will never end.

The high-rise buildings in the East China Sea are so bustling with lights and entertainment that people forget that there is such beauty in the world!

Fortunately, Xiao Zijian asked him for an outing this week. If it had been a few weeks ago, he would not have had the chance to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the countryside.

Ah Ying habitually drove quietly along the way.

Ye Zixuan, who usually chatters endlessly, was silent today. Except for the flash of brightness in her eyes when they first met, there was always a hint of shyness and sadness.

Lu Shanmin was not really stupid. He could probably guess the reason. How could he not feel the slightest affection for Ye Zixuan after being together for so long? He just didn't know what to say at the moment.

Xiao Zijian's voice never stopped, commenting on the beautiful scenery of late autumn along the way from time to time. It was a pleasure to feel sad about spring and autumn, and to entertain himself.

After nearly three hours, we finally arrived at Maplewood Mountain.

The car reached halfway up the mountain and could not go any higher, so the four of them had to get out of the car and walk.

Being in the maple forest all over the mountain, Lushan people have the illusion of returning to Mazui Village. There is also a large maple forest halfway up Yaozi Mountain. In the past, every time during this season, Da Heitou and Xiao Nizi would go hunting in the mountain.

Let’s have some fun. The maple tree in front of Xiaonizi’s yard was transplanted from Yaozi Mountain. It should be full of red now.

Xiao Zijian and A Ying were the first to open the trunk and carry the barbecue grill and the ingredients for the barbecue as soon as they got off the car. Of course, A Ying was carrying it, and Xiao Zijian just took a fan and walked leisurely pretending to be a scholar.

Lu Shanmin really couldn't stand it. He wanted to step forward to help, but Xiao Zijian held out his fan and stopped him. "Hey, my Aying is a hero among girls. She can even carry a cow. You are responsible for taking good care of my little one."

Cousin."

After speaking, she held her head high, strode forward, fanned herself, and walked forward leisurely. Aying followed suit with her big and small bags on her shoulders, without even frowning, breathing evenly and walking easily. Lu Shanmin admired her, and somewhat believed that she could really do it.

It can carry an ox.

After getting off the bus, Ye Zixuan was in a much better mood. It must have been influenced by the scenery in the mountains. A happy smile appeared on her face. Her smile was very clean, without any secular impurities, and complemented the red leaves all over the mountains.

Sensing Lu Shanmin's gaze, the smile on Ye Zixuan's face slowly dissipated, and a trace of inexplicable shyness and sadness appeared on her clean face.

The further they walked up the mountain, the more rugged the mountain road became. Ye Zixuan soon became sweaty from walking. Xiao Zijian and Aying in front walked very fast, gradually opening up a distance.

Seeing Ye Zixuan walking unsteadily, Lu Shanmin, who was walking at the end, said worriedly.

"Zixuan, why don't you take a rest for a while?"

"No, I can still walk," Ye Zixuan said through gritted teeth.

Lu Shanmin smiled helplessly and continued to move forward.

After walking for about ten minutes, Ye Zixuan suddenly stopped, held a maple tree with both hands, and cried without any warning.

Lu Shanmin was shocked and hurriedly walked to him, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zixuan didn't say a word, she just cried, her crystal tears dripping down one by one like pearls, she cried very sadly.

Lu Shanmin panicked and didn't know what to do for a moment. He called out twice to Xiao Zijian and Aying, who had disappeared, but no one responded.

In fact, Xiao Zijian and Aying didn't go too far. There were many trees in the mountains, but they were only obscured by a few tall ginkgo trees.

"Master, I heard my cousin crying."

Xiao Zijian stopped and fanned, "Ah Ying, Master, I am not deaf, I can hear you."

"Master, why don't you go back and take a look?"

Xiao Zijian sighed, "Ah Ying, don't practice all day long, take some time to read books. If you can't read the Classics and History Collection, you can read some mindless online novels. If you can't stand the online novels, you can also read soap operas."

.

Aying looked at Xiao Zijian blankly, "Master, your thinking is too fast."

Xiao Zijian shook his head helplessly, "Your emotional intelligence is really worrying."

Aying lowered her head in aggrieved manner, secretly thinking to herself, Master, Aying's emotional intelligence is not low.

Lu Shanmin stared at Ye Zixuan blankly, at a loss. There was nothing he could do about a girl crying, especially when she cried so loudly. In the past, when Bai Ling cried, he would sit quietly beside her, and Xiao Nizi basically didn't care.

She can cry, but Zeng Yaqian can make others cry.

After a few minutes, maybe she had finished venting or maybe she was tired of crying. Ye Zixuan finally stopped crying, but she just sobbed from time to time.

"Are you okay?" Lu Shanmin asked with concern.

It's okay not to ask. This question made Ye Zixuan cry again, even more aggrieved than before.

Lu Shanmin had no choice but to shut his mouth and did not dare to speak any more.

After another two or three minutes, Ye Zixuan took out a tissue and wiped the tears on her face.

"I'm done crying".

Lu Shanmin stood there blankly, not knowing whether to speak or not, for fear that he would make her cry again.

Ye Zixuan turned her head, looked at Lu Shanmin with her big watery eyes, and pouted, "I said I'm done crying."

"Uh... let's go then".

The corner of Ye Zixuan's mouth twitched and she almost cried again.

Lu Shanmin was startled, and with a begging look on his face, he quickly said: "Auntie, I beg you, please stop crying."

Ye Zixuan pointed to her right foot, "My foot is twisted."

Lu Shanmin squatted down and found that Ye Zixuan's right ankle was red and swollen.

"Sit down quickly".

Ye Zixuan said oh and sat down obediently against the maple tree.

Lu Shanmin slowly took off Ye Zixuan's shoes.

Ye Zixuan's feet were cute and delicate, but her ankles were already swollen. It looked like she had twisted her feet before, and she had been gritting her teeth to hold on until now.

Lu Shanmin looked around, pulled out a few motherworts that could be found everywhere in the mountains, put them in his mouth and bit them into pieces, spit them out and carefully applied them to his ankles bit by bit, and then bit open one of his shirts.

Tear it off and wrap it up.

Ye Zixuan watched Lu Shanmin doing all this carefully, feeling sweet in her heart and her face turned slightly red.

Lu Shanmin raised his head and looked at Ye Zixuan, whose face was as shy as a lotus blooming. He grinned and said, "Okay."

Ye Zixuan hummed and avoided Lu Shanmin's gaze.

Looking at Ye Zixuan's feet, Lu Shanmin frowned and said, "I'll carry you."

Ye Zixuan raised her head, raised her lips, and glared at Lu Shanmin, "You want to take advantage of me?"

Lu Shanmin's head was covered with black lines, his lips twitched, "I didn't think so."
