It was just dawn when they got out of the house. Yang He's dog raised its head and glanced at Zhou Zhi and Guan Tingting, then closed its eyes again.

Zhou Zhi thought for a while: "Follow me, let's go to the back mountain."

Guan Tingting naturally took Zhou Zhi's hand and said, "Let's go."

"Uh..." Zhou Zhi thought for a moment: "Tingting, you see, you are already a grown-up girl, we shouldn't hold hands like we did when we were kids."

"Bah! I don't even dislike you for being stinky, but you still dare to dislike me?!" Guan Tingting said that she was very tolerant.

"That's not what I meant..."

"Then you're still nagging here?!"

"Okay, let's go..." Facing Guan Tingting's simplicity and calmness, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his little thoughts just now. He led Guan Tingting and walked towards the back hill behind Yang He's house.

The back mountain is a hill like a steamed bun. Unlike Chaishan, the hometown of Su Datou and Third Sister Xinwuji, this steamed bun mountain looks a bit "soft".

The soil layer on the mountain is relatively thick, mainly bamboo, and some white tea, green fruits, peppers, and citrus. Unlike the new house base where there are only green hills and other miscellaneous trees used as firewood.

Walking on the stone road in the bamboo forest, Zhou Zhi felt that this place was a bit like Wang Wei's Wangchuan villa.

Guan Tingting's throat still made a low and rich vibrato, and then it turned into a sound like eating from a pressure cooker, and finally turned into a tongue flicking sound.

I guess it was a method of practicing voice, and Zhou Zhi followed suit.

Except for the initial chest vibrato, which I can barely learn, the eating time can only be two-thirds of that of Tingting, and the tongue flicking sound at the end is even worse.

Zhou Zhi can only play the ball, but Guan Tingting can playfully flick her tongue along with the tongue-licking tone in her voice when talking to Zhou Zhi, turning communication into a weird way, which Zhou Zhi cannot do.

It was a bit cold in the early winter morning, but when they reached the top of the mountain, it was already dark.

"Just here." Zhou Zhi said, "Tingting, look, it will be a sunny day today."

The sky in the distance has turned purple, and in the quiet mountain bay at the foot of the mountain, there are rivers, paddy fields, and streams everywhere, and the thin mist emitted covers the bottom of the bay.

Except for some hills and treetops, most places became hazy.

"It's so beautiful here..." Guan Tingting held Zhou Zhi's arm: "Brother Zhuzi, look, what's over there?"

What Guan Tingting pointed at were some small white dots hidden deep in the bamboo forest above the stream.

"Those are egrets."

"Aren't egrets going to migrate? A row of egrets ascending to the sky, right?"

"Hahaha... If you can lie down and have enough food and clothing, who would want to travel all the way?" Zhou Zhi sighed: "Humans and birds are actually the same."

"It's so beautiful. We can go see it later!"

"You can just look at it from a distance, but you can't see it when you walk in."

"Why?"

"Because when you get there, you will find that there are bird droppings everywhere under the woods, and also in the sky. It's like rain..."

"Ah, brother Zhuzi, you are so disgusting!"

"Hey! They are obviously disgusting... I said, do you want to practice your voice?"

In the mountain bay and in the bamboo forests on both sides, birds everywhere began to sing. They responded to each other and lured each other, creating a noisy spring scene in the early winter of Jiachuan.

Guan Tingting's translucent singing voice began to join in, with a jumping tone, echoing the birdsong, climbing higher and higher.

Zhou Zhi found a stone to lean on, holding a bamboo stick in his hand as a conductor's baton. He followed the rhythm of Guan Tingting's practicing voice and simulated the speed and slowness according to the cadence of the music, so that the baton could bring emotion.

The two began to make eye contact and nodded lightly to each other. Guan Tingting also made a finger hooking gesture towards Zhou Zhi. This gesture was very ambiguous, but Zhou Zhi knew that Guan Tingting wanted him to join in.

Nodding to Guan Tingting, Guan Tingting changed to a set of songs that Zhou Zhi was more familiar with.

The two of them also played this game in the dormitory of the sugar and wine company. One was on the fourth floor and the other on the second floor. They responded to each other. Guan Tingting also specially set up two male and female voices for this purpose, so that they could sing in chorus.

Moreover, when the two of them are singing upstairs and downstairs, they are usually busy with their own things. For example, Zhou Zhi may be doing homework or picking vegetables; Guan Tingting is feeding pigeons or watering flowers, which does not affect the cooperation at all.

Speaking of which, this was the first time the two of them had made eye contact during a chorus. Although they only made simple babbling, they were surprisingly in tune because they had collaborated many times before.

The terrain here is somewhat special. The chorus of male and female voices fell along the hillside and down the valley, echoing in the terraces and streams, with some added reverberation effects. For a time, it outshone all the birds.

Of course, the main person who compared the Birds was Guan Tingting, and Zhou Zhi was just an assist at most.

After finishing practicing a song, Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Tingting, is it still interesting?"

"It feels pretty good." Guan Tingting also smiled, and then suddenly became a little shy: "Okay, let's go back."

"Don't you want to look at the scenery for a while? The scenery here is pretty good, and the fog is about to lift."

"No more." Guan Tingting began to walk down the stone stairs, no longer pestering Zhou Zhi to hold hands as she did when she came up: "Sister Shu Yi is getting up, and I don't want to delay your chance encounter with any fairy."

"Ah what?" Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed up: "You have been making trouble for a long time..."

"Humph! You want to hide it!" Guan Tingting's voice was actually a little unhappy: "But, I really regard you as my brother!"

"Tingting, don't think too much." Zhou Zhi hurriedly came to Guan Tingting's side: "It's time to say that I won't let you hold hands. It's not because of Sister Shu Yi, but because we are all grown up. Even if we are brothers and sisters, we have grown up.

At my age, it is no longer appropriate to do this."

"Do you really think so?"

"real."

"Aren't you afraid that Sister Shu Yi will be unhappy?"

"Uh..." Zhou Zhi thought for a moment: "I can't say that there is no such reason at all, but it is definitely not the main reason. The main reason is that we are older."

"Well, then you are being honest." Guan Tingting nodded and became happy again: "In that case, I will forgive you and won't be angry."

"Oh." Zhou Zhi nodded along with Guan Tingting's intention, and then realized: "You are angry after what I did, and I still need your forgiveness?!"

The little girl's mood changes faster than the summer weather. Guan Tingting was a little angry just now, but now she can't stop laughing: "You said you are older, and grown men are still petty and care about me. Are you ashamed?!

"

After saying that, he jumped up and down the mountain.

"..."

Leaving Zhou Zhi to think in the gradually dissipating morning mist, he couldn't figure out what was the difference between Jiang Shuyi and Guan Tingting not holding hands, and because they had grown up and it was no longer convenient for them to hold hands. What was the difference between the two? Is it worth it for the little girl?

Be happy after being angry.
