Chapter 82 Chapter 82 You Need to Be More Moderate
Bai Falcon came back after they had finished dinner, smelling of ice and snow.
"Let me guess, where did you go to have fun?" This time, Xuan Jinyu didn't touch it but could still feel the coolness of it. "Did you go to see Third Brother and the others?"
Sister Lan had taken a nap in the afternoon and was now awake. When she saw the white falcon, her eyes lit up. She fluttered her little body in Su Guanzhang's arms and stretched out her little hands as if she wanted to catch it.
Su Guanzhang's eyelids twitched and he quickly turned away, "Don't grab it with your hands." He stared into his daughter's eyes, and the two very similar pairs of pupils reflected each other's shadows.
Sister Lan instantly forgot what she was about to do and just stared curiously at the little self in her father's eyes.
"Oh oh ah~" She grinned, her eyebrows curved.
Su Guanzhang couldn't help but kiss her little face.
"I thought she was quiet and well-behaved," he said to Xuan Jinyu, "but she turned out to be lively and active."
Su Guanzhang gently squeezed her small hand, feeling her strength, which was now much greater than that of an ordinary baby. "Not bad, this is how a girl from the Su family should be."
Xuan Jinyu also laughed when she heard this, "A good child has turned into a naughty one. You will have to worry about me in the future." Seeing her daughter looking at her, she moved over and kissed her little face.
Lan Jie'er was kissed on both cheeks by her father and mother respectively. She kicked up her little feet and tilted her head towards Xuan Jinyu again.
Xuan Jinyu kissed her other cheek again.
"Woo woo ah~" Sister Lan was extremely happy, and her little head leaned towards Su Guanzhang again.
Su Guanzhang understood and kissed the opposite side of the cheek that Xuan Jinyu had just kissed.
For some unknown reason, the family of three started playing a kissing game in front of Bai Falcon.
Lan Jie'er's happy and excited baby voice lingered in the air.
The white falcon tilted its head and, seeing that no one paid any attention to it except for the words Xuan Jinyu said to it with a smile at the beginning, flapped its wings.
The wind brought with it the smell of snow that had not yet dissipated. "A-choo," "A-choo," Sister Lan sneezed twice.
Xuan Jinyu nervously touched her forehead.
The white falcon stopped moving, its flapping wings fixed in the air, and its still eyes made it look rather silly.
"Nothing." Su Guanzhang released his hand from Lan Jie'er's wrist and touched its little head.
After sneezing, Sister Lan started laughing again as if nothing had happened.
The white falcon lowered its wings and its pair of round eyes began to move flexibly again.
"I didn't mean to ignore you." Xuan Jinyu took out a handkerchief and wiped its wet feathers until they were frizzy.
When she withdrew her hand, she looked at her "masterpiece" and suppressed her laughter. "It's like we're back to the first time we met."
At that time, the white falcon was soaked by the rain and was injured. She used a dry towel to wipe its feathers until they were frizzy.
The white falcon rubbed against her palm obediently.
Xuan Jinyu felt a warm current in her heart. This feeling was more like the time when they first rescued it. However, now they were more familiar with each other and more attached to each other.
Su Guanzhang picked up a small piece of paper from the falcon's blown feathers and twisted it, "This is a fragment of the Su family's letter paper." He looked up and said to Xuan Jinyu.
"You really went outside the mountain to look for my third brother and the others." He said this to Bai Falcon, and then he checked Bai Falcon's body.
But nothing more was found.
Su Guanzhang thought for a moment, "It seems those people haven't left yet." He lowered his voice a little, shook his arm slightly, and watched Sister Lan slowly close her eyes.
When it gets dark, it is time for the couple's routine night talk.
Xuan Jinyu was carried out from behind the stone wall by Su Guanzhang. The charm between her eyebrows and eyes had not yet faded, and her hair was still a little wet. She lazily put her arms around his neck.
The two fell on the soft quilt.
Su Guanzhang's breath still carried the burning sensation from before, spraying on Xuan Jinyu's shoulders, making her so itchy that she hid herself against him.
"Go and see Sister Lan." Unable to avoid it, Xuan Jinyu pushed his hard body.
Su Guanzhang took a deep breath, sat up, and leaned over to look at his daughter who was sleeping soundly on the small bamboo bed.
"Thank you for your hard work." He said to Bai Hun, who was standing beside the small bamboo bed, "Take a rest!"
The white falcon seemed to understand what he said and quickly hid its little head between its wings; its entire jade claw looked like a snow-white ball, and its feathers seemed to emit a faint light under the candlelight.
Su Guanzhang sat back down on the bed and positioned Xuan Jinyu, who was languid, for sleep. He quickly slipped under the covers and embraced her slender waist, which had recovered.
"Don't you want to ask me what I saw in the cabin today?" He asked Xuan Jinyu in a low voice, rubbing her blushing face.
Xuan Jinyu grabbed his restless hand and said, "You'll tell me eventually." She snuggled closer to him until their bodies were pressed tightly together. "Okay, you can tell me now."
She had a premonition that what Su Guanzhang saw would not be a good thing.
Even without her premonition, just by looking at the dilapidated cabin, one could guess what kind of life the original owner lived at the foot of the cliff.
The letter her third brother wrote to her said that the villagers outside the mountain, for generations, had never seen anyone who fell into the bottom of the cliff and could get out alive.
In other words, the person who built the cabin was ultimately unable to walk out of the cliff.
"I'm not afraid. Just tell me what you saw. Don't hide it from me." She added quickly without waiting for Su Guanzhang to speak.
But she knew that when this man talked to her, he often only said the good half and hid the other bad half.
Su Guanzhang kissed her forehead and said "OK".
He really didn't hide what he saw.
"The owner of the cabin was a senior with profound inner strength. He had an enemy and was being chased by someone, and he accidentally fell to the bottom of this cliff." Su Guanzhang said.
In the cabin, he saw the owner's life story carved on the wooden wall.
"That senior was trapped at the bottom of this cliff for over forty years. But he didn't give up, and practiced every day. When his internal strength reached its peak, he wanted to use his Qinggong to fly up the cliff."
But when he was at a high altitude, a strong wind blew and his body was displaced. He couldn't hold his breath and fell down, smashing through the roof.
"The hole in the roof wasn't caused by a tree growing out of the hall, but by that senior falling down and smashing it through."
It was because of this opportunity that the tree was able to see the light of day and grow lush and green.
Xuan Jinyu took a deep breath and hugged his neck. "If we hadn't fallen into the lake, would we have ended up like him..."
She buried her head in his chest, her voice muffled and filled with fear.
If this were true, their family of three would not be living like this today.
Su Guanzhang kissed the top of her head apologetically, "Did I scare you again?" He was a little annoyed.
He really wasn't suited to storytelling. Last time, she'd been disgusted by his straightforward narrative, and this time, he'd even frightened her. He'd clearly been using very subtle words.
Xuan Jinyu's heart was still beating fast, and she was amused by him. "How is your wording euphemistic?" she retorted, her voice returning to its sweetness.
Isn't that subtle?
Su Guanzhang was a little confused, but then he thought that as long as she was no longer afraid, it would be fine, so he didn't dwell on it anymore.
"Go on." Xuan Jinyu lifted her head from his chest, leaned on his shoulder, and poked his face.
Not feeling satisfied, she imitated the way he had teased her just now, rubbing his cheeks and pinching his mouth too much to make it pout.
"Puchi." Xuan Jinyu couldn't help laughing and fell into his arms. Her body was trembling, but her hands loosened.
Su Guanzhang: “…”
She didn't allow him to tease her, but she was having a lot of fun herself.
He grabbed her and kissed her randomly, until her breathing became disordered and her body fell limp on him again before he continued.
"The backyard is overgrown with weeds and is no different from the woods outside," said Su Guanzhang.
When he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed a little dark brown trace of age out of the corner of his eye, so he used his soft sword to push aside the dense grass and take a look.
He held the person in his arms tightly. "After falling, the senior climbed back to the courtyard with his last breath, leaving behind his name and the date of his birth and death."
The dark brown marks he saw were bloodstains that had dried for more than ten years.
Because the doors leading to the hall and the yard were wide open, and there was a big hole in the top of the hall, after more than ten years of wind, rain and sunshine, the bloodstains that once winding across the ground had long been covered by lush grass.
Only a little bloodstain remained on the edge of the threshold.
Su Guanzhang followed the blood trail forward and parted the grass, and found the bone fragments of the predecessor.
More than ten years have passed, and the remains are no longer intact and are scattered around the yard; it must have been separated from the skeleton by some scavenging birds such as crows and vultures when they pecked at the corpse.
Now, the lush weeds, shrubs and even a few large trees have deeply penetrated the remaining bones or buried them in the soil.
As a result, collecting the body became nearly impossible. Unless all the vegetation in the yard was removed, the roots that had entangled and pierced the skeleton were removed, and then a search was carried out inch by inch, perhaps a fragment of the remains could be pieced together.
It is impossible to piece together a complete skeleton.
However, Su Guanzhang did not elaborate, only saying, "I erected a monument for that senior."
The old man struggled to crawl into the yard with his seriously injured body, and left his name and the year of his birth and death, just so that if someone really came to this dilapidated cabin in the future, they could leave a tombstone for him.
Since this was the case, Su Guanzhang fulfilled his last wish.
It was because of this that he was delayed for a while, causing Xuan Jinyu, who was holding her daughter outside, to worry for a while.
To divert her attention, Su Guanzhang turned over and let her lie on him.
"Madam is extremely lucky. I am the one who has taken advantage of you." Her flat belly pressed against him, and he suddenly missed the way she looked when she was pregnant with Sister Lan.
But it only took a moment for this thought to disappear from my mind.
Her belly looked good when it was bulging and made him feel pity for her, but she was also working too hard, so she was better like this. When the two of them were intimate, as long as he didn't take it to the last step, he didn't care.
Through a soft and comfortable undershirt, he slowly caressed her slender waist, savoring the smoothness and temptation of the skin underneath.
Xuan Jinyu didn't notice that his thoughts had wandered, and replied very proudly, "I've always had good luck since I was a child. You really took advantage of me."
She has a superior family background, appearance and character.
The new emperor returned to the capital with great fanfare and was appointed Crown Prince, and was to marry the Crown Princess. However, since she had previously disobeyed the imperial order and refused marriage, no one dared to marry her. But at this time, Su Guanzhang returned to the capital.
She married a husband who was envied by everyone in the capital. However, many people broke their handkerchiefs and were angry about her good luck.
Besides, marrying her was his blessing.
Didn't he see how many detours he had avoided along the way because of her? Even the cave they were living in now, and the cabin they were in today, were both discovered by her first!
She propped herself up slightly on her elbows and looked up at him, "What are you going to tell me?" She stared into his eyes expectantly.
He has recently learned to say sweet words, and she hasn't heard enough of them!
Su Guanzhang's reaction was different from hers. He just smiled gently, "Then I am also one of your good fortunes?"
Not receiving the expected sweet words, Xuan Jinyu pinched his mouth in dissatisfaction, "I should be your good luck."
Even with the reputation of that dog emperor, if she had not defied the order and refused the marriage as compensation, would her grandfather have agreed to help him ascend to the throne of the crown prince?
Su Guanzhang chuckled, and the vibration in his chest suddenly made Xuan Jinyu lose the strength to support her body. Just when she was about to fall on his hard chest, he held her in his arms.
"Jinyu." He suddenly called her name with a lingering tone.
Xuan Jinyu felt the movement under him, and then met his eyes that were filled with warmth again, her cheeks flushed.
"You, you," she stammered, her voice lowered, "you need to be more restrained." Her earlobes and the snow-white neck exposed outside the collar were now flushed.
