"Honghu's personality is most like mother's among the five of us." Suqin came over at some point. She helped the sleepy Honghu up, and then asked Luo Lanxier to follow her to the restaurant in the back.
The back room was much cooler and fresher because there was no direct sunlight. After Su Qin asked Honghu to sit on a bamboo chair with a backrest, the "Phoenix" in the white dress became much more conscious.
A breeze blew in from the raised bamboo window from time to time, dissipating some of the heat from the lotus root soup and dishes on the table inside the house. Sitting at the table, Suqin helped Luo Lanxier and Honghu serve the meal. Looking at her familiar appearance, it seemed that she was used to such things, and there was no sign of the pampered life she had lived in Yuzhang Mountain for a long time.
The three of them had a warm lunch. Loran Hill began to talk about some changes in the world today. Suqin also mentioned some past experiences, and then slowly closed her mouth in front of Honghu's wide eyes.
"Okay, I won't say any more. Little Luolan should be able to handle it himself." Knowing that Honghu didn't want her to worry about these things anymore, Suqin could only stop while she was ahead and say less.
After dinner, the three of them went to the second floor, where Suqin and Honghu had their bedrooms. The bedroom was separated from the outside by an arched hollow wooden frame. Compared with the first floor, it was much more spacious here, and the three of them could lie down on the bamboo mats covering the ground at will.
After lunch, Honghu seemed a little sleepy and took a nap on Suqin's knees. Then Suqin and Luolan Hill continued talking.
It was June at that time. The light-colored curtains blocked the dazzling sunlight, and a pale yellow halo dyed the entire room. Su Qin continued to talk to Luo Lan Hill about some past events.
"Huniao, also known as Dorothy, was rather reserved and quiet when she first came to the mountain. It seemed she only spoke a few words in front of Mother."
"The first time I spoke to her was in the mountains, on the way to pick loquats."
"At that time, I asked her whether she liked sour or sweet food, and she said she didn't like sweet food because she was tired of it."
"I was very surprised at the time because there is very little sugar in the mountains. Only a few kinds of fruits are sweet when ripe. I thought this child might be from a good family. Sugar was a rare commodity back then."
"Later, she started chatting happily with me, and then she secretly told me that she had brought some delicious food. Then she took me to her small room and pulled out a tin box filled with many colorful little balls that I had never seen before. That was the first time I had eaten something so novel."
"Then Dorothy and I became closer and closer. She would occasionally give me some gadgets and tell me how great they were and what they were used for." Suqin thought about her childhood, a smile on her face from time to time, and occasionally she shook her head sadly.
"When Dorothy grew up, she started wearing some strange clothes, that is, Western-style clothes. However, she would modify her clothes herself to make the style look suitable for Eastern people. At this time, she also liked to travel around and was not in a hurry to explore anything."
"Luan came very early. She can be said to be the first daughter my mother adopted. She has a cold personality, but is also very intelligent. When I first arrived, she taught me a lot and helped me get familiar with the mountain environment. However, unless there is something special, she doesn't talk much and prefers to be alone."
"Actually, Luan is very attentive. Whenever something unusual happens among the five of us, she's always quick to notice and then finds time to help resolve it individually. But she doesn't like others being overly grateful. Maybe it's because she doesn't want to get too close and be disturbed, and lose her own quiet environment."
"Although there's no one among the five of us who's the eldest sister, Luan believes that as the first one, she has an obligation to guide and take care of the younger sisters, so she cares a little. However, she always acts a little cold, which makes people who don't know her think she's arrogant."
As they talked, time passed slowly and it was gradually getting dark in the afternoon. Honghu had woken up by then. She went downstairs to wash some plums and brought them up.
The bright red bayberry is covered with clusters of delicate flesh, which looks like a ball of wool on the outside. When you bite it open, you will find light red and white flesh inside, which is extremely sweet and delicious. At this time, the three of them no longer reminisced about the past, but talked about their future plans.
"How long will Senior Qin and Senior Hu stay here?"
"I'll probably stay here for another 5-6 years, and then I'll leave." Suqin talked about her future plans.
"If you live here for too long, it will be easy for people to notice something strange." After all, the witch's beautiful and ageless appearance can easily arouse speculation from some bystanders.
"The mayor here actually knows our identities. He won't reveal them, but it's inevitable that people around us will talk about us in strange ways."
"Next time, we will probably move to the Northern Continent. It's a place we've never been to. Thanks to little Loran taking care of the situation over there with the Ice Elves, the Northern Continent is gradually becoming active, and humans are no longer considered rare creatures." Su Qin said as she drew on paper with a pen, dotted a few points on the current world map, and then connected them.
"I will probably not appear in public for the next fifty years. Please continue to keep it a secret for me, little Luo Lan."
"That's no problem." Loran Hill nodded.
Later, as the sky gradually darkened, Loran Hill also stood up and said goodbye.
Leaving the cottage where Suqin and Honghu lived in seclusion, Loran Hill walked under the starry sky. On the summer night, the Milky Way was so vast that one couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
Walking on the wet green grass in the mountains, Loran Hill walked up the mountain path, passed many hidden prohibitions and illusions, and then slowly walked into a quiet place.
This is not the top of the mountain, but the upper part of the mountainside. The trees grow neatly and lushly, forming an open A shape. Along these tall trees, there grows a unique fiery red sycamore tree.
