Chapter 363 [The Man in the Mountain] (Part 2)

Luo Lie sat on the platform in front of the wooden house. It started snowing outside. The snow made the whole world simple, but made the scenery blur. When the scenery outside was blurred, the memory often began to become clear. Luo Lie took out a cigarette from his arms. This was a cigarette roll he made by himself and took out a match because some of the weather was hit several times and did not ignite it.

At this time, Ye Qinghong went out to his side, took out a lighter, and sent the leaping flames to Luo Lie.

The cigarette in Luo Lie's mouth trembled for a moment, then he leaned over and lit the cigarette at the flame.

A smell of spicy tobacco came from the air. Ye Qinghong judged that this should be the local tobacco. She sat down next to Luo Lie and whispered: "Rainbow is asleep."

Luo Lie nodded, took a strong breath of cigarette, but was accidentally choked and he started coughing.

Ye Qinghong reached out and snatched the cigarette from his lips, then took a sip as he was.

Luo Lie's eyes kept looking at the cedar forest in the distance and whispered: "Actually you shouldn't have come!"

Ye Qinghong took another sip of cigarette but didn't say anything.

Luo Lie said: "She has found you?"

Ye Qinghong nodded.

Luo Lie said: "You should understand that there is no place for anyone else in my heart." Because I was worried that this sentence would hurt Ye Qinghong's self-esteem, his eyes fell on Ye Qinghong's face.

Ye Qinghong's reaction was surprisingly calm, not a disguise. Her heart was the same as her expression. Her slender fingers twisted the half of the cigarette, and her beautiful eyes stared at the poorly crafted earthy smoke and said, "Because of the words you once said, I quit smoking. Even if I don't quit smoking, I won't even look at such tobacco in the past."

Luo Lie knew that she was telling the truth. Ye Qinghong has always been a person with extremely exquisite life. She was able to get into the deep mountains and forests in such a cold and cruel season. I don’t know how much hardship she suffered, and what kind of motivation was that prompted her to do so.

Ye Qinghong said: "I enjoy half of your cigarette. Don't laugh at me. I really feel at ease."

Luo Lie said: "Four months ago, when we were in Gusu, she went out for a day."

Ye Qinghong nodded and said, "We met that day."

Luo Lie stretched out his hand and asked Ye Qinghong for the half cigarette. He took a sip and felt that the cigarette had a little more lip scent. Luo Lie said: "No matter what you promised her, you can don't take it to heart now. She has been thinking about me all her life, but she has ignored the feelings of others."

Ye Qinghong said: "I admire her!"

Luo Lie took a strong breath of cigarette: "You and her are very persistent people, and it may be related to you having a common blood relationship."

Ye Qinghong nodded.

Luo Lie said: "Do you remember the last time we were in Huangpu, she imprisoned you."

Ye Qinghong said: "Of course I remember, you saved me."

Luo Lie said: "Although I don't know what she said to you, I can conclude that she still wants to imprison you."

Ye Qinghong said: "In your eyes, I am always a fool who has been fooled?"

Luo Lie didn't think so, but he knew what Ye Qinghong wanted to do.

Ye Qinghong said: "After all, you have had three years of happiness. Do you know what life I have lived in these three years? I came here not to comfort anyone or make a promise, but because if I don't do this, I will never be able to live a better life. Luo Lie, no matter how you look at me, no matter whether you like me or not, I will like you. In the past, I couldn't let go of my pride, so I was always behind. She didn't advise me, and I didn't promise anything to her. It was just that she let me understand the true meaning of love."

Luo Lie pressed out the remaining cigarette butts, and he did not respond to Ye Qinghong's sincere words: "I think you will be disappointed."

Ye Qinghong said, "I didn't plan to let you live without me." She paused and said, "But I will let Rainbow live without me."

Luo Lie truly saw Ye Qinghong's persistence, and in the following days, she also fulfilled her words. The two-year-old little Caihong naturally did not have the strength of her father. Her young heart needed someone to take care of and care. No matter how hard Luo Lie tried, there were some things he could not do.

There were more and more smiles on Xiao Caihong's face. She and Ye Qinghong became closer and closer, so close that even Luo Lie, a father, was a little jealous. After all, she was a child just two years old, and she would slowly forget some memories. Luo Lie hoped her to forget, but she was afraid that she would forget them.

This is an unforgettable winter for them. With Ye Qinghong, Luo Lie can go out with confidence every day. Before going out, Ye Qinghong will get up early to prepare breakfast for him. After Luo Lie goes out, she will accompany Xiao Caihong without hesitation.

When Luo Lie returned with his prey and dried firewood, Ye Qinghong had already prepared dinner, holding Xiao Caihong's hand like an ordinary wife, waiting for his return in front of the window.

Luo Lie knew that Xiao Caihong could no longer live without her.

Today is Big Eve, but Luo Lie came back a little late. At nine o'clock in the evening, he came back with a roe deer covered in the wind and snow. Seeing the orange lights in the wooden house from afar, Luo Lie's heart became warm. Whether he admitted it or not, Ye Qinghong has become an indispensable part of their father and daughter's lives.

There were three snowmen piled up in front of the door. From the outline of the snowmen, it can be seen that they were two big and one small. When Luo Lie passed by the snowmen, he couldn't help but smile. A string of red lanterns cut out of paper were hung under the eaves of the wooden house. Luo Lie quietly came to the door and heard his daughter's silence sound from inside: "Mom Hong, why haven't Dad been back yet?"

Then Ye Qinghong's gentle voice sounded, "It's almost time. Today is New Year's Eve! Dad will definitely come back to have a reunion dinner with us."

Xiao Caihong said: "Mom Hong, what is a reunion dinner?"

"A reunion dinner is when the family is united, reunion and dinner."

Xiao Caihong said: "Will mom come back?" She rarely mentioned her mother during this period.

Luo Lie's hand, who had originally planned to push the door open, stopped halfway, and the wooden house also remained silent.

Ye Qinghong said: "Mom is actually watching us every day, and she will always be with us."

Xiao Caihong said, "But I can't see her. Doesn't my mother want me anymore?"

"Silly child, the person who loves you the most in this world is mother, but mother has very important things to do, and she doesn't want to leave Xiao Caihong." Ye Qinghong felt sad, but she wanted to be happy. She could not let Xiao Caihong's young heart hurt.

Xiao Caihong said: "Mom Hong, did you ask you to take care of me?"

"Well, yes! When my mother comes back, Hong's mother will leave."

"I don't want you to leave. I want to be with my mother, Hong's mother, and dad forever."

Ye Qinghong felt warm in her heart and held the little Rainbow in her arms.

Luo Lie knocked on the door and walked in wrapped in wind and snow.

Ye Qinghong knew that he must have heard their conversation outside the door just now, and couldn't help but feel hot. She stood up and said, "Why did you come back? The child has been waiting for you for a day."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Little Rainbow, guess what dad brought you back?"

Little Rainbow blinked and blinked. Luo Lie took out his hand from behind, but in his hand there was a wooden carved doll. Little Rainbow giggled and took it over. She liked it very much. She hugged her father's neck and kissed him hard on the face, but was thorned by the beard on his face. She covered her mouth and said, "Dad's beard is so thorny."

Ye Qinghong looked at Luo Lie with a angrily saying, "I'll go cook." The dishes that had been prepared were already cold.

Luo Lie responded, and Xiao Caihong took the doll and went to play.

Luo Lie came to Ye Qinghong and took out a boxwood hairpin from his pocket.

Ye Qinghong bit her cherry lips and whispered: "I'll give it to me?"

Luo Liedao: "It's not worth much."

Ye Qinghong snatched it like a treasure, turned around and skillfully tied up her hair, and then inserted it into her hairpin.

Looking at Ye Qinghong skillfully cooking, Luo Lie felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. Before this reunion, he would never believe that a young lady like Ye Qinghong could wash away the dew, keep a peace of mind, and play the role of a good wife and mother. What's even more rare is that she has super-class patience for Xiao Caihong.

When Ye Qinghong insisted on staying, Luo Lie thought it would be difficult for her to adapt to such a role, but Ye Qinghong's performance surprised him.

Ye Qinghong knew that Luo Lie was still standing behind him and whispered: "Go, put the cold dishes on the table, let's have a few drinks later."

Luo Lie responded, remembering the roe deer that had not been brought in outside: "By the way, I'll take the roe deer in and thaw so that I can keep it for the New Year tomorrow."

Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Where are you eating so much? You have caught a lot of prey. It's already rich enough. Let's freeze outside first. I'll do it tomorrow."

Luo Lie responded, went to the prepared hot water to wash his hands, and placed the dishes on the small table.

Little Rainbow had a good time with the wooden doll and made giggles from time to time.

Ye Qinghong quickly served the stewed wild boar meat and pheasants. Although it was in the mountains, it was not difficult to hunt with Luo Lie's ability.

Luo Lie noticed that Ye Qinghong had set up four pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and when he poured wine, he also poured three cups. He was as wise as Luo Lie. Of course, he knew who the extra pair of bowls and chopsticks were prepared for. Ye Qinghong said, "Boss, you speak."

Luo Liedao: "What do you say?"

Little Caihong said: "Congratulations on getting rich!"

Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Be good, our daughter is the most obedient and smartest!" She stuffed the red envelope she had prepared long ago into Xiao Caihong's pocket of her clothes: "This is called New Year's money!"

"New Year's money!" Xiao Caihong repeated.

Ye Qinghong carefully placed the chicken legs in her bowl.

Luo Lie saw it, and his heart was filled with emotion and warmth. He cleared his throat and said, "Since you asked me, I will say a few words. First of all, we must thank this land in our hometown, and rely on the mountains and rivers to eat water. Without this land, we cannot eat and wear warmth, and we cannot have the ability to spend the New Year together. Therefore, we must love our hometown and hope that the weather will be good in our hometown so that we can live and work in peace and contentment."

Ye Qinghong laughed: "It's very good. I didn't know if I thought you were the president."
