Chapter 46 – Honeymoon in the Cangshan Mountains

Two days later, the caravan had slowly driven into the waist of Cang Mountain.

The splendid Cang Mountain was majestic and incomparable, but hundreds of years ago, a generation of emperors made hundreds of thousands of hard laborers to force an official road that could accommodate carriages to walk on the mountain, in order to facilitate their own summer vacation on Cang Mountain, and in fact, soon after this mountain avenue, which had cost a huge amount of money and had been labored on, was repaired, the same emperor died on his consorts’ soft bodies, and actually did not use it even once.

Over the centuries, the world did not know how many times the rise and fall apart, but gradually, this big mountain closest to the capital of the capital, became the backyard of the dignitaries, from the former dynasty onwards, many laws were enacted to establish the Cangshan Mountain that is so heavy that even the awe-inspiring mountain winds can not blow away the official atmosphere.

Since then, Cangshan Mountain prohibits hunting, prohibits burning forests and opening up land, prohibits all things that poor people can engage in, and purely becomes a resort for rich people. Today’s Cangshan Mountain, in addition to some temples and monasteries, there are some hermits, the rest of the place was rewarded by the emperor to some ministers in the dynasty, used to build a separate property, chatting to solve the pain of the complexity of the imperial government.

Fan’s estate is built on the mountainside, a good place given by the late emperor half a year before his death. The surrounding is very quiet, in front of the bank a clear stream, the mountain top of the red leaves fell, they floated down from this clear stream. The yellow flowers beside the stream were dotted, and the singing building in the manor was quiet and clear, and in this cold and clear autumn season, the geese in the sky were sparse, and it was indescribably lonely and clear and open.

After Fan Xian and his party arrived, the manor house was suddenly bustling with activity. There were people who had already cleaned up the manor. Because they didn’t know how long the Young Master and Young Granny and Miss were going to stay here, the Fan Mansion had prepared many dry goods and game, and had even transferred three singing girls from the mansion in the capital to go into the mountains, where they babbled and sang every day, and didn’t know how many squirrels that were storing up their food for the winter had been scared away.

“What a nice place.” Since his subordinates went to settle the room, Fan Xian walked faithfully to the front end of the stone apron of the mountain villa, looking at the clouds that were surprisingly floating lightly not far below his feet, and the thin mountains and green forests in the distance were exceptionally clear, he could not help but let out a sigh of exclamation.

Lin Wan Er gently leaned on his side, said with a faint smile, “Indeed quite good, when I was a child, I also came to live in Cangshan Mountain for a period of time, not as good as your home this manor is secluded.”

“It’s our home.” Fan Xian corrected, and then again heartbreakingly tied his wife’s collar, this mountain cold air is heavy, but also really worried that her body did not get well, but first caught a cold.

Lin Wan’er smiled cheekily and said, “Got it, Mr. Xiang.”

After a few days, the young men and women spent their days in the quiet mountains, as if they didn’t know what year it was in the world as calm and happy, this kind of life is the goodness that Fan Xian has been missing for many days, so he seemed to enjoy it extraordinarily, every day he either brought Wan Er on the slippery mountain road, or stood behind his sister and watched her fine brush, how to put the breathtaking scenery of Cangshan Mountain on the paper.

This is also regarded as a real married life between Lin Wan Er and Fan Xian after marriage, in this period of time, this pair of newlywed couple, gradually from the initial love at first sight, to the later meeting across the wall of the excitement, and then after the worry, can finally feel at ease to enjoy a thing called love. At the end of the passion, it was transformed into an ethereal fragrance, which was even more lasting.

One morning, Lin Wan Er lazily opened her eyes, subconsciously rested her fleshy arms gently, and realized that there was no one around her. You have the warmth of the quilt, Xianggong do not know where to go.

Lin Wan Er wasn’t surprised, since the cave, she knew that every day Fan Xian got up extremely early, didn’t know where he went, and then would quietly return to his room before he woke up.

She had always been a little curious, but it wasn’t convenient for her to do anything while living in the Fan Mansion. Now that she was in the middle of the Cang Mountains, with no more elders or those annoying old sisters beside her, Lin Wan’er’s eyes turned bone-deep, got up and took a thick cloak and tied it around her body, put on her soft shoes, and opened the door to go out furtively like a thief.

A mountain morning breeze greeted her, freezing her into a shiver, she didn’t dare to delay much, with a sneaky smile she went to the other main room at the end of the corridor and knocked twice on the door. The sleepy Fan Ruoruo heard her voice and hurriedly got up to open the door, only wearing a single coat, freezing enough, rubbing her hands and saying with a bitter face, “Sister-in-law, so early?”

After Lin Wan’er arrived at Cangshan Mountain, the little nonsense that had been hidden under her shy and cute disposition finally showed itself, she stuck out her tongue, hugged Ruo Ruo’s waist, pulled her into the warm quilt, and sighed very comfortably.

Fan Ruoruo wasn’t quite used to sleeping in the same bed with someone else, so she felt a little weird, but this little sister-in-law was very affectionate, holding Ruoruo in her arms, her face coming up next to hers, and softly asking, “Do you know if you know what your brother goes to do every day at the crack of dawn?”

Fan Ruoruo’s waist felt her sister-in-law’s hand cold, thinking that if her brother saw it, he wouldn’t die of heartache, and hurriedly caught her hand to warm it, and said in a bad mood, “You’re a couple, why did you come to ask me.”

Lin Wan Er said with amusement: “Your brother is secretive all day, not to mention this, say every night, the two of us in the room to talk and play chess, where did he go? Aren’t you curious?”

Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Ruoruo’s calm nature can’t help but be a little puzzled, every day her brother’s morning practice time is routine, this she knows, but recently these days at night, her brother will disappear for a period of time, it’s really not clear what he’s doing.

“In the morning, my brother has to practice, at night …… it’s really not clear, find him at that time and ask.”

Lin Wan’er curiously said, “Practicing kung fu? What kind of kung fu is practiced? Can we go and take a look?”

“Sister-in-law, you are that curious.”

“Of course.” Lin Wan’er’s eyes lit up like the vast lake in the summer resort, “It’s normal for a maiden to be curious about what her own husband is doing.”

Fan Ruoruo realized that this County Lord’s sister-in-law did not have too many habits in the palace, and in some aspects, she felt that she was a bit more reckless than herself, and could not help but say with a smile, “In such a cold day, if I were married, I would rather sleep under the blankets. If you run out at this time, if your brother sees you and scolds you, I won’t help you.”

Lin Wan’er didn’t really know what Fan Xian’s temper tantrums looked like, but knowing her husband’s temperament, she bitterly grimaced. Suddenly, she turned and laughed, “If it becomes a marriage? Now that it’s late fall, it seems that our family’s little aunt is starting to get spring fever.”

I don’t know if it was because the two people in the quilt were squeezing too hot, or if it was just shyness, Fan Ruoruo’s face also faintly reddened, and she said in a bad mood, “There’s no sister-in-law like you.” Reach out to scratch Lin Wan Er’s itch, Lin Wan Er ouch backhanded attack, young sister-in-law and sister-in-law two in bed to mess around, youthful teenage breath compelling.

Fan Ruoruo is not as good as the married woman’s means, panting, hopeless under the bed, but the county sister-in-law wrapped layer after layer, to confirm that the mountain winds do not blow into the girl’s neck, only to rest assured that she pulled her hand out of the mountain village, to find their elder brother.

At this time the sky is dark, the people in the manor are still preparing for the morning things, and no one noticed that the two masters even slipped out like thieves. A large portion of the mountainside was the Fan family’s property, so there were no onlookers to disturb them, and the two girls stepped on the autumn dew, carefully walking along the forest path towards the mountain side.

“Confirm it’s this way?” Fan Ruoruo frowned, “This mountain is so big, let’s not get lost.”

“Don’t worry.” Lin Wan Er smiled and said, “I have intuition, wherever Xiang Gong is, I seem to be able to feel it.”

Fan Ruo Ruo had no choice but to think to herself, she could only believe in this unreliable intuition, although she thought like this, she paid attention to the ground under her feet and found that someone had indeed stepped on it, this trail was so quiet, it was thought that apart from her own elder brother, there was no one else who would be so elegant as to go as far as to drill into the deserted mountains.

I don’t know how long it took, the two wonderful girls finally set aside the autumn leaves, wiped off the dewdrops on their clothes, passed through this forest, and came to the edge of the mountain. Luckily, Lin Wan’er’s body was much better after taking Fei Jie’s medicine, otherwise she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to hold on to this part of the road. Looking at her sister-in-law’s blushing appearance, Ruoruo painfully wiped her face, and reminded her to fasten the front button of her cloak that had already come undone, before the two of them looked ahead.

Do not know without looking, a look shocked.

Only see this side of the mountain is a Cangshan rare gentle slope, above is under the autumn frost is still green meadows, and look up, is a ten feet high steep cliffs, slope situation is very fast, the rocks, hidden yellow bamboo like a sword to the sky.

Above the cliff, is a person, it is a single dress dressed Fan Xian, look at his appearance, actually ready to jump off the cliff!

Lin Wan Er was horrified, and opened her mouth to let out a cry of alarm to stop Fan Xian’s move. Unexpectedly, a soft, slightly cool hand covered her lips.

Fan Ruo Ruo squinted at her elder brother on the cliff and said with forced calmness, “Don’t worry.” It was unknown what her confidence in this judgment was.

At this time, Fan Xian had already verticalized down from the cliff, only to see his body skipping between the messy rocks, each step stepping dangerously close to the only place he could land on, and as he descended, his speed grew faster and faster, and several times he nearly hit the top of the bamboo.

But he seemed to have a kind of innate judgment, always one turn in advance, or two turns before he had already chosen the location of the landing, as well as the size of the counter-vibration force, rubbing the bamboo.

This relied on the strong control brought about by the domineering true qi in his body, and even more so on the instincts he had learned from the five bamboos.

In fact, in a flash of lightning, his person had already pierced through the bamboo forest and rocks like a black light, landing steadily on top of the meadow. Fan Xian turned his head slightly, looked at the two girls over here in surprise, and said, “Why are you here?”

His breath was not the least bit unruffled, but the sparse bamboos on the steep slope were gently shaken by the remaining breath.
