The farm has a phoenix

Chapter 51

Mother Chen thought for a while, then nodded, and walked slowly up Wangshan Mountain.

The two big families came to Yanxi Temple on the same day, and the people in the temple naturally received them respectfully. Knowing the relationship between the two families, they divided the east and west yards between the two families and asked the monks to take good care of them.

Incense, chanting, fasting meal, everything was thoughtfully prepared. Mother Di was here to fulfill her vows, so she was naturally respectful and sincere, but also cautious. Accompanied by the two wives, the family respectfully worshiped the Buddha before returning to the east wing . .

After cleaning up, it was getting late, so everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms.

"Sister, how about going out for a walk with brother?"

Di Jinyan opened the window from the outside and looked at her with a smile.

Although the temple is on the top of the mountain, it is surrounded by pines and cypresses, all of which are towering ancient trees, lush, green and tall, giving off a solemn feeling.

Zhan Jinfeng nodded, and following Di Jinyan out of the wing, the two carried a lantern and walked slowly towards the back hill.

Although it was dusk outside, the forest was dark, the lanterns illuminated it brightly, and the birds in the mountains twittered, bringing a bit of poetry.

"What a view!"

Zhan Jinfeng couldn't help admiring, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one behind her at some point.

What about Di Jinyan?

Her heart sank, she looked around vigilantly, then frowned, and hurried back along the road in her memory.

It was getting darker and darker, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, even the chirping of birds could not be heard.

As she was walking, she saw a faint light coming out of the forest in front of her, which seemed to be the light of a lantern. She was overjoyed, and she quickly lifted up her skirt and ran over a few steps. Sure enough, she saw a red lantern slowly drifting in. A vague figure appeared in a faint, wearing a green robe. Zhan Jinfeng was a little angry at the moment, and couldn't help raising his head and frowning angrily: "Did you do it on purpose?"

The light of the lantern was approaching, but a handsome face was revealed, the eyebrows and eyes were dark, and the face was natural, the slightly pursed thin lips drew a shallow arc, the red halo of the lantern danced in the eyes, and for a moment even blue-gray The gown was sprinkled with a hazy blush, which made this person look a little more charming like a fairy in the forest.

It was only then that Zhan Jinfeng realized that he had misidentified the wrong person. This person was not Di Jinyan, but Chen Shaoyan!
Chen Shaoyan looked amusedly at the face in front of him, who was sometimes angry and sometimes surprised. He had seen someone carrying a lantern up the mountain, and after chasing him, he saw that it was not Jin Yan, but this person. The fog flowed gently with her anger or surprise, crystal clear and beautiful.

"What is it on purpose?" He raised his eyebrows and asked softly with a smile in his eyes.

Zhan Jinfeng took a step back and saluted respectfully: "Young Master Chen."

Seeing her unfamiliar attitude, he couldn't help but stop smiling, and his eyes sank slightly.

Chen Shaoyan nodded slightly, but said: "Why don't you help your father?"

"My son was joking, since he is the father, how can there be no reason not to help?"

Chen Shaoyan's realization fell on the person in front of him, and his respectful attitude made him frown.

"You heard that, didn't you? But you didn't inform your father."

"How can my daughter's family get involved in the affairs of the ruling and opposition parties?"

"Oh..." Chen Shaoyan responded, but his eyes drifted across the forest. Before waiting for a long time, Zhan Jinfeng raised his head curiously, and saw this person looking around vigilantly.

"What's wrong?" she couldn't help asking.

"Do you know why the birds don't even sing when the sun goes down?"

"Why?"

"There are raptors in this mountain, and they like to come out at night to look for food."

Raptor?Zhan Jinfeng was taken aback for a moment, but felt cold all over, and shivered uncontrollably.

Since ancient times, it has been said that there are ferocious beasts on the mountains, such as tigers in Jinggang Mountains, wolves in wild mountain streams, or pythons and foxes, all of which eat meat...

She looked around vigilantly, only to see shadowy shadows, extremely terrifying.

But at this time, a gust of wind suddenly hit there, and the candle flame in the lantern flickered and then went out.

The surroundings immediately fell into darkness, except for the dark shadows all over the sky, only the vague outline of Chen Shaoyan could be vaguely seen.

Zhan Jinfeng couldn't help but look around, and then took a deep breath.

hold on...don't be afraid...

"Those unjust souls buried here will wander in the forest at night, looking for a scapegoat for themselves..." The deep voice floated faintly in the dim forest, and Zhan Jinfeng could only feel his heart beating non-stop , She bit her lip, walked to Chen Shaoyan's side in a few steps, reached out and gently grabbed the man's sleeve.

The touch of silk is warm and soft, and the unique fragrance floats into the nostrils, bringing with it the faint warmth of the man's body. For a moment, I just feel slightly at ease.

In the dark, Chen Shaoyan quietly watched her every move, including her eyes, and slowly became relieved from nervousness.

He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, but the people around him trembled and said, "I... I'm not afraid of ghosts. In the world... I don't have those things at all!"

Obviously trembling with fright, but still saying such stubborn words here, Chen Shaoyan couldn't help but said: "Well, as long as you don't look back, you'll be fine."

Feeling that the hand that was holding on to his sleeve tightened a bit, Chen Shaoyan smiled slightly and pulled his sleeve back.

"what are you doing?"

"Fire." Reaching out his hand, he took out a flint and steel from his pocket, lit the candle in the lantern, and everything around him became brighter.

Only then did Zhan Jinfeng's heart settle down.

Chen Shaoyan saw that she still had some palpitations, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back."

Zhan Jinfeng looked around, but ignored the hand, and only grabbed the man's sleeve tightly. Chen Shaoyan found it strange that he had never seen someone pull his sleeve instead of his hand.

The two walked back and forth like this, and after a while, they finally saw the faint fire in the forest and the loud sound of chanting sutras, and they knew that they had finally arrived at the monastery.

"Feng'er, where have you gone! Let me find it easier!"

Di Jinyan ran out in a hurry, but she let go of her hand quickly, but turned her head and said angrily: "You took me out, and you blame me where I went?"

Seeing that she had changed her usual expression towards Di Jinyan, Chen Shaoyan frowned slightly, and cupped his hands at the two of them: "I'll go back first, brother Di, let's swim together some other day!"

Di Jinyan nodded, and continued to ask anxiously: "Feng'er, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere? If grandma asks, don't tell her about it!"

It turned out that he was afraid that his grandmother would scold him!
She had no choice but to nod reluctantly: "Understood, if you help me, I will definitely help you! But big brother, the lantern will not be able to light again after the fire is extinguished, so hang up out of curiosity."

Di Jinyan frowned and took out the candle in the lantern to have a look, only to see that the wick had disappeared.

"Strange, why is the candle wick gone? It seems to have been cut off."

Only then did Zhan Jinfeng suddenly realize that he couldn't help but look left and right, but at some point, the man had disappeared.

"Brother, are there birds of prey in this mountain?"

Di Jinyan exaggerated: "Birds of prey? Yanxi Temple has been here for more than a thousand years, and some of them have already run away. It has a radius of a hundred miles. If you see a wild dog, you are considered a raptor!"

This man who is talking nonsense with his eyes open! ! !
