The spring scenery is perfect, suitable for outing.

This kind of activity among literati and scholars is now taking place in a farmer's house in Kumu Village.

Mu Zhizhi went up the mountain to collect herbs some time ago and found that the old peach tree on the cliff outside the mountain was in bloom. When she went to see it yesterday, the branches were already full of flowers.

She asked the family if they wanted to go there to enjoy the flowers and drink, and everyone agreed.

Qi Bin had lived in Kurumu Village for two years. After tasting Mu Zhizhi's cooking, he didn't want to go back to the imperial capital at all.

"I am not interested in drinking and admiring flowers, but if you make more delicious food, I will follow you wherever you go to eat!"

Mu Qiu and Qin Yuan nodded in sync.

Mu Zhizhi was amused by these greedy ghosts, "Okay, okay, okay! I'll take out the big backpack and put food in it for you!"

Madam Qin was laughing so hard that she couldn't stop.

On the second day, the two children had just had their bath, so the whole family set out together.

On the way, they met Chun Ya and her husband and their child Lin Sheng. Dabao couldn't help showing off, and three more people joined them.

"We're here! We're here!" Dabao and Xiaobao shouted.

Linsheng was still young and his pronunciation was not clear, so he pointed at the peach tree and called out “Fa Fa, Fa Fa”.

The cliff is very high, and the peach tree stands alone on the edge of the cliff. When the wind blows, the petals flutter down, as if it was raining pink, which is very beautiful.

Mu Zhizhi found a relatively flat place and spread out the tablecloth.

Braised beef, salted duck, glutinous rice chicken, thousand-layer cake, green rice dumpling...

Every time Mu Zhizhi took out something, Qi Bin swallowed his saliva.

I used to eat rough food in the army, and it was only when I got old that I realized the taste of gourmet food...

"Everyone, try the newly brewed fruit wine." Mu Zhizhi greeted everyone with a smile.

After finishing the work, I found Qin Yuan whispering with Chun Ya's husband.

"What are you whispering about?" Mu Zhizhi leaned over.

Chun Ya's husband's ears turned red and he quickly moved away.

Qin Yuan chuckled, "I'll tell my wife about it later."

Mu Zhizhi curled her lips, looking mysterious.

After eating and drinking, Qi Bin and Mu Qiu had some fun and took a nap.

Qin Yuan pulled Mu Zhizhi under the peach tree, reached out to pick a flower, put it next to her ear, and began to recite a poem stumblingly.

"The peach and plum trees are silent and fragrant, the moon-shaped eyebrows are skillfully drawn in the distance... the mountain is long, looking back and smiling, the flowers... compete for beauty, I don't believe there is such a thing in the world... such a fragrance!"

"Pfft-"

Mu Zhizhi laughed out loud and covered her mouth. Then she saw Qin Yuan's silly expression with his head tilted. She couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud, holding her stomach.

Qin Yuan scratched his head and gave Chun Ya's husband a thumbs up.

My wife is smiling so happily, the sour scholar is really good!

Chun Ya's husband was too embarrassed to face anyone and hid in Chun Ya's arms for comfort.

Qin Yuan looked at Mu Zhizhi laughing so hard that her body shook with laughter. He felt itchy in his heart and hugged her. "Wife, I'll take you to a nice place to play."

Mu Zhizhi clung to his shoulders and wiped away her tears, "Where... where are we going?"

He looked towards the bottom of the cliff. "Down below."

Mu Zhizhi was startled and stopped laughing, "This is a cliff, how do we get down?"

Qin Yuan said proudly, "I have climbed up here several times. Hold on to me and I can take you down."

When Xiaobao heard this, he ran over and hugged Qin Yuan's thighs, "Dad, I want to go too, I want to go too!"

Qin Yuan coaxed her, "Little girl, you can't go. It's very dangerous."

Xiao Bao flattered him, "Dad is here, he's the best, he will protect me!"

Before Qin Yuan could say anything, Qi Bin narrowed his eyes and warned Xiao Bao, "You'd better not go. If there is real danger, your father will definitely save your mother first, and no one will care about you..."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded at Xiaobao.

Mu Zhizhi: “…”

Xiaobao looked at this, looked at that, and burst into tears.

After a flurry of coaxing, Qi Bin agreed to go back and teach her a new set of boxing techniques, and she finally calmed down.

Qin Yuan needed both hands to get down from the cliff, so Mu Zhizhi could only hold him and wrap her arms and legs around his body.

Everyone else knew Qin Yuan's abilities, so they were not worried and just enjoyed the spring breeze.

"Brother Yuan, why do you know this place?" Mu Zhizhi hugged him tightly, not daring to look down, and could only find words to say.

Qin Yuan climbed down the rock all the way, and said with some pride, "I fell from here when I was four years old. After staying down there for a few days, I became very strong and climbed up by myself."

Mu Zhizhi was stunned.

Isn’t that the cliff where he ate the Worry-Free Fruit?

She suddenly became excited, "Then let's go down and take a look, maybe we can find some rare herbs."

Qin Yuan: "Yeah."

He took Mu Zhizhi all the way down and climbed for more than half an hour before landing.

"Daughter-in-law, we're here."

Qin Yuan held her waist and put her down, then massaged her arm, "Does it hurt?"

Mu Zhizhi's hands were really a little sore, so she sat down and said, "Let me take a look at your hands first."

After climbing for so long, Qin Yuan must be even more tired.

Qin Yuan grinned.

Although he is fine, his wife feels sorry for him and feels so happy!

The two sat on the ground and rested for a while, and Mu Zhizhi began to look at the bottom of the cliff.

The towering old trees blocked most of the sunlight, and a light mist was surging under the dense leaves. Looking in the direction, there was a pond not far away, and the mist was rising from there.

Mu Zhizhi walked over and found some red berries beside the pond.

Her eyes lit up, "Brother Yuan! I found the Worry-Free Fruit!"

Qin Yuan followed behind her, looking at the fruit, and pouted, "I ate this when I fell down. This fruit is delicious, but eating too much makes me uncomfortable."

As he said this, he smiled again, "But drinking the water from this pool can help."

Mu Zhizhi's eyes brightened. She squatted down and scooped up a handful of water. She smelled it and then licked it. Then she turned around and smelled the berries again and took a bite of the skin to try.

After working for a while, she said in surprise, "Brother Yuan, this water may be able to cure your stupidity!"

She untied the water bag from Qin Yuan's waist and went to fill it with pond water.

Qin Yuan paused and suddenly held her down.

"What...what's wrong?" Mu Zhizhi looked up at him.

Qin Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Wife, I don't want to drink."

"what?"

Mu Zhizhi asked blankly, "Why? Don't you want to become like ordinary people?"

“I don’t want to be smart.”

Qin Yuan stared at her with a serious look, "Wife, if I really become smart, I might start to have wild thoughts and like many women like Tang... I only want you, and I will just stay with you like this."

A small whirlwind blew past the bottom of the cliff, rolling up some fallen leaves. Scattered sunlight leaked through and danced on Qin Yuan's brow.

His eyes were very clear, filled with the most primitive and pure love.

Mu Zhizhi felt a lump in her throat and she threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.

Big fool, big fool, big fool!

Qin Yuan panicked again, "Wife, don't cry, I'll drink it, I'll drink it, okay..."

Mu Zhizhi punched him with her fists, crying out of breath, "You are so...good at talking, why are you still learning...reciting poems!"

Qin Yuan scratched his head blankly. Is he good at speaking?

But he didn't care about that, the most important thing was to coax his wife first.

Qin Yuan first coaxed her with his mouth, then with his hands, and finally with his body, until he coaxed his young wife into becoming as soft as a puddle of water.

……

A city on the border.

After inspecting the city wall, Tang Yuze did not go down immediately. Instead, he looked towards the horizon in the evening breeze.

The goose yellow belt in his hand had faded a little due to washing.

"I finally understand where I lost... Zhizhi, your choice is right."

In the past, he couldn't understand why he lost to Qin Yuan.

After guarding the pass for ten years, when he developed the city, brought peace to the border, and saw genuine smiles in the eyes of the people, he gradually understood the true meaning of defending his country.

There is a difference between personal heroes and national heroes.

Qin Yuan could fight in battle for someone who had nothing to do with him, and when the world was at peace he could give up fame, wealth and power to protect just one person.

Tang Yuze can now do this, but...

The person he wants to protect will never look back at him again.
