Xiaoqing did not leave that night, but stayed with Li Ye to eat barbecue and drink fruit wine.

When she came out, Mu Mu asked her to go to the cave in the mountain to get a few bottles of Mr.'s brewed wine to take with her. Unexpectedly, she found Li Ye.

Li Ye handed the roasted meat to Xiaoqing, looked at the fruit wine in the glass, and a tear dropped into the wine. "Are my parents okay? When will my sister be born? Is Mumu obedient in the city?"

She didn't fight with the people in the city. She got used to being wild in the mountains. I'm afraid someone will bully her when she goes down there."

Looking at Li Ye's appearance, the little celadon doll-like face also showed a little solemnity.

She is not good at drinking, and the two drinks she had today were considered excessive.

"Everything is fine in the academy. Your mother's health is very good. I heard from the host of Hongxiu that your sister is expected to be dead in late winter at the earliest, maybe not in early spring next year."

"Mumu is doing well in the city. Sister Hongxiu bought us a lot of new clothes, as well as jewelry and other gadgets. She now stays in the academy every day to study poetry with your mother. Her realm seems to have broken through again.

Now it’s the fifth level of the golden elixir.”

"In short, the people you are thinking about are living better than you. They all miss you very much. It's been almost half a year. If it hadn't been for Madam's repeated persuasion, Mu Mu would have gone to Tianshan Mountain to find you."

Li Ye sighed, looked at Xiaoqing and said: "I miss them very much too, but for many reasons, I can't go back now. The mountains and roads here are high and dangerous, and even Mu Mu can't make it. When I came here, I almost couldn't go back.

He lost his life."

Xiaoqing nodded, touched her pigtails and said, "That's right. The mountains and rivers here are high and the water is bad. I haven't come here to look for it before. I just thought that with your level, you wouldn't be able to come here."

"You are hiding here alone, are you breaking through? Why can't I see it?" Xiaoqing took another bite of meat. She likes Li Ye's roasted food, she likes it from the bottom of her heart.

Li Ye looked at Xiao Qing, then looked at the stars in the sky outside the shed, and murmured: "I haven't broken through anything, just a little bit, and now I am at the second level of the golden elixir."

"I didn't learn the Fallen Leaf Sword that my husband asked me to practice, but I did understand a hint of the sword's meaning at the bottom of the pond."

Li Ye took a small sip of the fruit wine, touched Xiao Bai who was lying next to him, and gave him a sip, which made Xiao Bai scream in surprise.

"Don't look at me. This young lady brought her from the other side of the mountain. Drink less, you will get drunk to death." Li Ye looked at Xiao Bai and smiled.

Xiaobai whined twice and continued to lie down and chew meat and bones.

"Sword intent? Is it the sword you slashed into the sky in the pool and almost hurt me?" Xiao Qing thought of the sword he encountered in the sky. It was indeed a stunning sword.

"That's just a kind of sword intent. I understand three kinds in total. Do you want to try it tomorrow? Have a fight and then go back to the city. To be honest, I haven't fought with anyone yet, and those with Mu Mu don't count.

fight."

Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at him, took the wine and continued to pour it into her own cup. She said disgustedly: "Practice hard and come back to me in five years. But you actually broke through to the golden elixir, and you are still at the second level. You are very powerful.

You have to tell Mumu when you get back."

"I will bring you some good things tomorrow. You can take them to the city and sell them into gold coins. You and Mu Mu will keep some, give some to my mother, and give some to the old monk at the Great Buddha Temple. Agui can find him."

"I can't go back for the time being. You can bring me a teapot and tea leaves next time. I haven't had tea for a long time and I have some thoughts."

"If Mr. comes back from the top of the mountain, tell him I'm here and ask him if he wants to come over." Li Ye thought for a while, looked at Xiao Qing and said.

Xiaoqing's face started to turn red, and she shook her head and said, "Sir, you haven't come back yet. I'll go back and tell Mumu that I found you, and try not to let her come up."

"Why did she come up here? My cave is very small, and even Xiaobai sleeps outside. There are tall mountains and big trees around here, how can there be anything interesting?" Li Ye was a little annoyed, and finally calmed down to practice.

"What about the day your sister came into this world? You won't come back either?"

"At that time, the Tianshan Mountains were covered with heavy snow, and I couldn't think of going back. I'm not you, I have a pair of wings. You and Mu Mu, and my parents are enough." Li Ye was a little melancholy.

Xiao Qing thought about it and said no more. She just drank all the wine in the glass.

Xiaoqing was so drunk that night that she lay down on the bamboo chair and fell asleep like a kitten.

Xiaobai was also drunk. It was the first time he drank alcohol and he was greedy for the fruity aroma in the cup. As expected, he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up.

...

A long night is hard to endure, but a long night is easy to pass.

When Xiaoqing woke up, rubbing her head, Li Ye had already cooked porridge, and the sun on Tianshan Mountain had climbed halfway up the mountain.

Only Xiaobai is still hungover.

Xiaoqing, who loves cleanliness, ran to the river to wash up, and Li Ye filled a bowl of porridge for her.

I went back into the cave, picked up the dried mushrooms, wild ginseng, polygonatum odorifera, and the cordyceps dug earlier and wrapped them together.

The old ape also came to the shed carrying a basket of fruits, and Li Ye also served him a bowl of porridge.

Xiaoqing, who had washed herself, played by the river for a while before coming back. Looking at Li Ye and Lao Yuan who were already full, she felt a little embarrassed.

Li Ye smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, eat slowly. It's getting very early, so you don't have to rush the time."

Xiaoqing lowered her head and picked up the bowl to drink porridge.

"Xiaoqing, ask Agui to go to my old monk master and ask for a few empty scriptures. Go back to the academy to find some pen and ink, and bring them to me next time. I will copy the scriptures for them." Li Ye thought for a while and said.

He didn't know if the Great Buddha Temple had the "Hua Dharma Sutra", but since it was brought by Monk Poxu from Fangcun Mountain, it must be a very special thing, and he wanted to leave it to the old monk and his parents.

My husband has already said that walking, reading and copying scriptures is a kind of spiritual practice.

He has not practiced with a pen for a long time, and he wants to practice seriously.

Xiaoqing drank the porridge from the bowl, thinking in her mind: You don't think it's troublesome enough to practice, and you still want to copy scriptures for people down the mountain.

"You only need to sell the Cordyceps in the bag to the little fat man's father. Don't sell the rest. Keep it for yourself in the academy." Looking at Xiao Qing who had finished the porridge, he thought for a while and explained to her.

The old ape handed the fruit to Xiaoqing and said with a smile: "Bring it to the people down the mountain. There is nothing good here, just these wild fruits."

Xiaoqing took the bamboo basket with both hands, squatted down and gave the old ape a blessing.

"Let's go, be careful on the way, and say hello to everyone down the mountain for me." Li Ye raised his head and looked at the sky, the time was just right.

Looking at Xiao Bai who was still hungover, Li Ye said with a smile: "I'll talk about this naughty guy later. Let him practice with me first."

Seeing that Li Ye disagreed, Xiao Qing collected the baggage and bamboo basket, walked out of the shed, stood on the edge of the cliff, put his feet on the ground, waved his hands, gave birth to a pair of wings, and flew into the sky with a flapping sound.

She turned into a blue bird, flew around the cliff, chirped twice, turned around and flew higher into the sky. In just a moment, she disappeared...

Looking up at the sky, the autumn sunshine passed through the cotton-like white clouds and hit the eaves of the shed. It also hit Li Ye's face, reflecting the sparkle in his eyes.

The old ape returned to the shed and lay on the bamboo chair to rest.

Xiao Bai had already woken up from his hangover. He raised his head and looked around, then ran into the cave and walked around. He slipped out with his head lowered and watched Li Ye roar a few times.

"You're as drunk as a dead dog, how can I take you away? Practice well on the mountain and come down with me later." Li Ye smiled, he knew what Xiao Bai was thinking.

Li Ye stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the woods under the cliff, thinking that he seemed to be missing something after being here for half a year.

Carefully, I didn't bring a kettle or tea with me when I went out, so I didn't even think about making a table when I came here.

The table can be used to make tea, and of course it can be used to write.

Over the years, he has been writing on stone walls, on bamboo leaves, in wind and snow, and in rolling glacial water, but he has never written even one horizontal line or one vertical line on the paper.

My parents said that my calligraphy in regular script was beautiful, the master of the palace in Feng Quicheng liked my calligraphy, Li Hongxiu of Hongxiu Tower liked my handwriting, and Mr. Bian also liked my handwriting.

The young lady from the General's Mansion likes her handwriting, Dongfang Yu'er likes her handwriting, and now even Mu Mu, who doesn't know what to do, is reading her handwriting in the academy.

But I haven’t written on paper for a long time.

He turned around, looked at the old ape and said, "Senior, I want to find a stone slab to make a tabletop for making tea and writing."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiaobai and walked towards the woods under the cliff.

He was going to cut down a cedar tree to make a wooden frame for the table and two stools.

Xiaobai jumped up from the ground and ran behind him towards the woods under the cliff.

The old ape lowered his head and pondered, then stood up after a while and walked down to the platform with his hands behind his back.

If comparing chopping trees with practicing swordsmanship, Li Ye prefers to practice swordsmanship under the pond because he thinks that is the way of practice he wants, although the old master monk has always emphasized: "Drinking tea and chopping wood is not practice."

For Li Ye now, knocking down a cedar tree is just a matter of swinging a sword. But he hates having to carefully remove the branches on the tree trunk and the grease on the bark, although trees with grease are not easy to rot.

.

Xiaobai couldn't help, so he could only stand aside and watch him blankly as he worked, knocking down the three-foot-tall cedar tree, and then dragging Li Ye to the cliff flat.

By the time he decorated the cedar and dragged it onto the ground, the old ape had already found a huge stone slab from the cold river. The surface was very smooth. Li Ye visually inspected it and found that even the portrait of Li Hongxiu that had been placed there would not mop the floor.

Li Ye wondered how he would make the chopped cedar into a wooden frame suitable for this broken piece of wood, whether to use the rectangular shape that his husband had used, or a stronger and tic-shaped frame.

The old ape looked at his embarrassed look and said with a smile: "No matter what shape it is, as long as this stone can be placed on it and it is firmer, wouldn't it be good?"

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, yes, no matter what shape it is, it is used to place this stone as a tabletop shelf, just like practicing swordsmanship in the glacier, just to catch the small fish swimming in the water.
