Love flows forever, only deep seeds, kingfishers fly together, where are the clouds floating? I don’t know, the 37th anniversary is a good time, and the beautiful people return.

The sun was gradually falling, and the smoke from the cooking stove in the distance had already passed with the wind. Several farmers in the distance returned with hoes. The women nearby called the fun children to come home for dinner. On the path, a little girl trotted, and she smiled like a flower. When she arrived at a thatched hut, she took the small bamboo basket on her back and threw it forward, and it steadily caught it.

There was already a plate of fish and a plate of vegetables on the table. She looked at it and asked with a smile, "Mom, how can you eat fish today?"

A woman in her thirty years old walked out with two bowls of rice and replied, "You uncle Qi sent it."

The girl's surname is Luo Shan's name and is An. She is twelve years old this year. The woman calls her Ya Niang.

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, Ya Niang wiped her with a handkerchief. The mother and daughter were having a meal. Qi Mu shouted, "Among, do you want to go to Jiu'an Mountain to catch night fish?"

"Go!" After she said that, she looked at Ya Niang as begged. Ya Niang sighed and said, "Go, be careful!" After hearing the order of pardon, An'er hurriedly took a few more bites of food and ran out.

When they arrived at the meeting place, there were two people waiting for them, one was Qi Mu's sister Qi Shui, and the other was Xu Boyan. "Why is Mr. Boyan coming too? Are you not afraid that Mr. Xu will be angry?" An'er asked.

"Am I, An'er, don't you like me?" Xu Boyan asked back.

"I like it, it's better to have more people!" An'er took Qi Shui's hand and asked her with a smile: "Shui'er, don't you?" Qi Shui smiled and agreed with her.

The group went up the mountain, with stars shining and the moon curling. They talked and laughed.

Qi Mu went down to the small silo to catch fish, and the other three leaned against the trunk to look at the stars. "Girl An, come quickly!" When An'er heard Qi Mu call him, she ran over happily and said with a smile: "Brother Muer, wake up Grandpa Mountain God carefully." She also went into the water to catch fish.

"Does An'er like to catch fish?" Xu Boyan asked Qi Shui. She nodded and replied, "An'er likes to catch fish." Xu Boyan raised his mouth slightly and looked up at the sky. Qi Shui asked, "Does Young Master Boyan like to watch the stars?" He turned his head and looked at An'er and replied, "I like it!"

The fire was so strong that An'er and Qi Mu came back with two fish. The fish was so fat that the four of them each took wooden sticks and roasted them.

Qi Shui looked at Xu Boyan from time to time and smiled. An'er took his fish, smelled the scent that gradually emanated, and swallowed his saliva. Xu Boyan smiled at her and said, "An'er, be careful that your saliva will breathe the fire." The other two laughed, and An'er said angrily: "Young Master Boyan is so bad, Brother Muer, are you still laughing?"

Qi Mu stopped laughing, "Young Master Boyan, you can't use An Meitu as a joke." Xu Boyan also tactfully apologized to An'er. An'er knew that Xu Boyan was joking and didn't take it seriously. He also found it funny when he heard that he was right to apologize.

The night gradually became deeper, and the laughter of several people gradually faded, and the sound of crickets around him became clearer. An'er fell asleep against the trunk. Qi Mu was worried that her neck would hurt when she woke up, so she carefully moved her head to her shoulder. An'er was indeed tired and was not awakened. Qi Shui looked at Xu Boyan not far away, and the faint fire light shone on his face. Qi Shui felt that such a young master Boyan seemed to be even more powerful. Xu Boyan did not fall asleep either. He looked at everything Qi Mu did, looked at the stream in the dark, and listened to its gurgling water, and slowly fell asleep.

*******

"Mom, why did Young Master Boyan and his family also go to worship their grandfather?" An'er asked in confusion.

Ya Niang's face changed, "Have you told Young Master Boyan about our visit to worship our grandfather?"

An'er curled her lips and said, "No, my mother said she was not allowed to mention it to anyone, so how could I say it? But I don't understand why we have to wait for Young Master Boyan and the others to leave before we kowtow to our grandfather. Can't we go as openly as Young Master Boyan and the others?"

"Silly girl, your grandfather accepted me as his adopted daughter that day. Before he could tell his family, he encountered a mountain collapse and died. Their family didn't know that I was there. Now your aunt has married a good family, and our family is in this situation again. If you recognize them, you are afraid that others will say that we are greedy for their family's money. You can't tell them about this." Ya Niang didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of this.

"I know, I will not mention it to others, so don't worry, mom." An'er didn't like to take advantage of others. Besides, Mr. Xu was from a big family and recognized his relatives. He had a great chance to think that he was greedy for their benefits, so it's better to be less reasonable.

Ya Niang asked An'er what books she had read. An'er said, "I asked her that the two books she borrowed were already well-versed, but she refused to lend them to me anymore. She also said that the girl didn't want to study at home. Last time, she was thankful that Young Master Boyan was willing to lend them to me." Although An'er liked reading, she was very disgusted with her borrowing, because he always looked arrogant and didn't like herself. She said why a girl should study hard and read, and be more female workers.

After hearing this, Ya Niang knew that she was wronged and knew that she was unhappy in the private school. She said, "I heard that the gentleman was both talented and virtuous, so she asked you to study there. Since he said that, I am afraid he would not teach you sincerely anymore, so it would be fine if he didn't go." An'er nodded hurriedly. She knew that the classmates there didn't like to interact with her and despised her as a poor girl without a father. But her mother worked for a year to be able to go to the private school, so she didn't want to let her down. In fact, Ya Niang also taught her a lot of words, and An'er learned a lot in her private school, so her knowledge was not much worse than Xu Boyan.

An'er carried a bamboo basket to the stream to pick wild vegetables. The Qi family brothers and sisters also had their own work to do, so they couldn't come with her. Although she was a very lively person, sometimes she liked to be alone and there were always some strange thoughts in her mind. Sometimes the Qi family brothers and sisters couldn't understand what she was saying.

A bird flew from afar. An'er thought about whether to shoot it down. She reached into the bamboo basket, took out the bamboo arrow, and looked at the bird. How could the bird escape, but unexpectedly, she pulled the bow with a low hand and shot the fish in the water. She laughed, not knowing whether she was happy for her archery skills or if she had another fish soup tonight.

"Aren't you going to shoot birds? Why did you shoot at the fish in the water?" An Er turned her head and saw a young man wearing a white robe, a black and gold belt, with fair skin and a bit heroic spirit standing behind him. There were five or six servants beside him. He saw that he looked arrogant and looked unhappy, and he said, "The arrow is in my hand. Where do I like to shoot at, and why do you need your consent?"

He was slightly stunned. No one had ever dared to talk to him like this. He said, "You wild girl, if I ask you, you will answer."

An'er gave him a blank look. Who did he think he was? But he didn't want to cause trouble. Anyway, he didn't know him, so he turned around to pick up the fish he had just shot.

Seeing that the wild girl in front of him dared to be so rude, his servant wanted to vent his anger on his master and cursed: "Where did the wild girl come from? Apologize to the young master quickly, so that you can't die."

An'er smiled and said, "You don't know where the stinky hooligans come from, they don't look like good people."

The young master stared at An'er angrily. He had never been scolded. He was about to step forward to beat someone. The servant stopped him and whispered: "Why should the young master take action in the countryside? I'll teach her a lesson for you."

Seeing two vicious people approaching her, An'er couldn't help but feel angry. The boy was so angry that he could teach him a lesson before he could say a few words. It was too much. He pulled out the bamboo and rattan to fight them. After two moves, An'er knew that he was no match for them at all. He had to find a way to escape. So he threw the dead fish at the young master and shouted, "Look at the dart!" The rest of the people didn't know that there was a fraud. He heard her shouting, so he rushed over to protect him. An'er took the opportunity to jump into the deep water.

The young master was scared, and a stinking smell came out. An'er came out in the water and shouted, "Although it is non-toxic, you will not be able to leave for a few days." She added a kind of stinky grass juice to the fish, which was originally intended to tease Qi Mu, but now it has come in handy.

The people were so angry that their eyes turned green. The young master shouted to catch her quickly. An'er laughed again and dived into the water and ran away. On the shore, only a group of stinking people were left.

An'er returned home with wet body. When Ya Niang saw it, she hurriedly urged her to change it, but there were still some blaming sounds.

"You girl didn't let me worry. I came back with some bruises every few days. It's not that I don't know that my body is not good. If I have someone, I will feel sorry for me."

An'er changed into an old blue dress, and she still tied her hair with only pink silk. She hugged her in Ya Niang's arms in a coquettish way and said, "Yes, yes, yes, my mother is right, An'er will be careful in the future. If she feels sorry for An'er, An'er will be unfilial."

Ya Niang held her hand and cursed with a smile: "I don't know who you learned about coaxing people." An'er also smiled in her arms.

An'er saw Qi Mu sitting on the tree from the entrance of the village. She called out a few times, but the people on the tree did not respond. An'er also climbed up. He gently patted his shoulder and realized.

"Brother Muer, why are you here alone?" Looking at his heavy face, she couldn't think of anything he had to worry about.

But he smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Don't worry about me anymore, girl An."

"Of course there will be nothing wrong with Brother Muer. I have been looking for Shui'er for a long time today. Where has she been?"

"I followed Aunt Ma from the neighboring village to find firewood. Why are you looking for her?"
