Chapter 134 His younger siblings understood him, but his mother did not.
He snapped, "You just wait, you'll lose that fur!"
She wanted to pluck all the wool off the sheep and take it back to make a wool shawl!
Sheep: "What are you babbling about? Chew, chew, chew, it's delicious."
Sheng Sheng laughed uncontrollably and quickly comforted Xie Yunjia: "It's alright, it's alright, everyone has their difficulties!"
Fortunately, Xie Yunqi pushed Xie Yunwen over, panting. Perhaps because the atmosphere was good today, Xie Yunjia rarely showed any restraint as the older sister in front of her younger brother. She gave a light hum and quickly adjusted her expression.
With a gentle smile, she quietly slipped another carrot to the little lamb and gently waved him away, saying, "Little lamb, go play over there."
The little lamb seemed still wondering why it could understand the voices, and walked away, looking back every few steps.
Xie Yunqi pushed Xie Yunwen all the way here. Although the wheelchair had wheels, it was still quite heavy, and with Xie Yunwen sitting on it, and Xie Yunqi running all the way, it still took some effort from the little tyrant.
Xie Yunqi ran over, panting, and carefully pushed Xie Yunwen onto the stone path before resting with vacant eyes.
Sheng Sheng blinked and asked, "What's wrong with Fifth Brother?"
Xie Yunwen looked helpless: "He insisted on pushing me to run over here."
Xie Yunqi snapped out of his daze and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother, I'm not tired at all. I can carry you ten times over this short distance!"
Xie Yunwen: "...I think I'd better not. I feel like my internal organs are about to shift."
God knows how tightly he held onto the handrail the whole way, afraid that he might fall headfirst forward if he wasn't careful.
Xie Yunqi scratched his head and weakly uttered an "oh".
Sheng Sheng burst into laughter again, her wispy hair swaying on either side of her head, and the "rabbit ears" on her head bobbing along with it.
Xie Yunwen smiled helplessly.
"What are you laughing at?"
Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan arrived late, and seeing the four people with different expressions, they knew that they must have missed some exciting scene.
Sheng Sheng chuckled for a while, clutching her stomach, without saying a word. She shook the small basket in her hand, which was still filled with quite a few carrots.
"Brother! Sheng Sheng was just feeding the lamb carrots!"
"Is it fun?" Xie Yunchuan rubbed her loose bangs and asked with a smile.
"It's so much fun! The lambs love eating carrots! They snatch the carrots away as soon as I reach out my hand."
Xie Yunjia curled her lips to herself and silently muttered to herself: Eat, eat, eat, I'll stew it and eat it tomorrow!
Xie Yunqi said with annoyance, "There's such an activity? If I had known I could feed sheep, I would have ridden over here. Hey, give me a stick, I'll catch a sheep to feed right now."
"Here you are."
Sheng Sheng gave him the whole basket, and Xie Yunqi happily went to catch sheep to feed them carrots.
Xie Yunqi was having a great time feeding the sheep, and the others followed him for a while, finding it interesting as well.
The sounds of sheep bleating could be heard all around. It was only because Yunshan Farm was large and had separate areas for raising pigs, cattle, and sheep that they could hear the mooing of cattle and pigs.
They had just eaten too much, and the food in their stomachs hadn't been fully digested yet. Sunbathing in the warm sun, they felt a bit lazy because of their fullness.
The wind blows up the mountain, and you can hear the rustling of leaves, which drowns out the sound of sheep chewing their food.
The golden light gradually spread across the hillside, coating the sheep's wool with a flowing halo.
Time seemed to slow down in this place, with peaceful and serene scenery before you and your close family by your side.
No one can resist such moments.
Only now did Xie Yunwen seem to truly understand the meaning of the line, "Leaning idly on a folding chair, a thousand peaks rise outside Yu Gong Tower. With whom do I sit? Only the bright moon and the gentle breeze."
The shadows of the group were cast on the ground by the sunlight. They were short and motionless, yet the shadows were exceptionally vivid.
For no apparent reason, I suddenly felt my chest filled with something—not the filling meal I had just eaten, but the slowly flowing time, the scent of grass in the wind, the sound of sheep hooves crushing the sunset, the silent companionship of my family, and the tangible warmth of human life that I held in my hands right now.
It is freedom, it is tranquility, it is warmth, it is beauty.
None of them spoke; they were all lost in thought, seemingly enjoying the moment.
Sheng Sheng glanced at them and smiled gently.
Xie Yunjia suddenly spoke up: "I think I know why you like coming here."
Xie Yunwen nodded, "Yes, I understand now."
No one could help but love this place.
Not to mention Xie Yun, who has always been somewhat repressed and has always cherished this tranquility.
Unfortunately, Empress Zheng neither understood nor wanted to understand her son's feelings. She only knew that as the crown prince, he shouldn't act this way.
Xie Yunyang gave a self-deprecating laugh. Even his younger siblings could empathize with him, but his mother could not.
Seeing his dejected expression, Xie Yunchuan frowned and gently instructed someone to bring over a kite.
"The weather's nice and windy now, this hillside is perfect for flying kites," Xie Yunchuan asked. "Does anyone want to fly a kite?"
"Me! Me! Me!"
Sheng Sheng was the first to respond. Seeing Xie Yunjia's hesitant look, she immediately grabbed a butterfly-shaped kite and stuffed it into her arms, saying, "Let's all play with Sheng Sheng together. How about we see whose kite flies the highest?"
Xie Yunjia snorted and accepted the offer with a clear conscience: "Okay, it's childish, but since you asked me, I'll reluctantly play along."
Sheng Sheng didn't mind at all, and with a grin, she pulled Xie Yunqi, who was engrossed in feeding the sheep, back. She then handed each of the others, except for Xie Yunwen, a paper kite: "Alright, I'll team up with Fourth Brother. Let's see whose kite flies the highest!"
Xie Yunwen was taken aback; he had originally intended to withdraw voluntarily.
Xie Yunwen naturally knew that this was Sheng Sheng's good intention, but his legs were really a burden and would be a hindrance to Sheng Sheng.
Just as Xie Yunwen was about to suggest forgetting, Xie Yunqi, holding the "eagle" in his hand, exclaimed with great enthusiasm: "Come on! Let me show you the power of an eagle!"
After saying that, he couldn't wait to run up the mountain with the "eagle" fishing line, already adjusting the line while chanting, "Ho! Eagle soars through the sky! Eagle strikes like thunder! Young eagle spreads its wings!"
In the end, he probably ran out of words and just said something random:
"The roc spreads its wings!"
Everyone was left speechless, neither laughing nor crying.
Sheng Sheng ran to Xie Yunwen with a paper kite shaped like a swallow in her hand, and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, don't be afraid. Eagles are indeed powerful, but our little swallows are light and agile. They won't lose!"
Xie Yunwen pursed her lips, turned her head, and saw the others nodding with smiles. Her heart warmed: "Okay."
Sheng Sheng confidently stretched out the line, but it was her first time playing, and Xie Yunwen had never played before either. The two of them fiddled with it for a long time, but either it couldn't fly or it would just glide at low altitude for a while before falling back to the ground.
