The few days of Spring Festival holiday are, for ordinary people, a joyful day to enjoy family happiness, but for Chu Tianshu, it feels a bit like torture.

First, he is anxiously waiting for the results of the organizational department's inspection. Although many sources of information indicate that the special promotion is a certainty, everyone in the officialdom knows that as long as the red-headed piece of white paper is not printed in black and white, what will happen?

Changes may occur.

Secondly, the promise to accompany Ning Xin to Xiufeng Mountain to see the snow scenery has not been fulfilled. This girl has been harassed almost every day through text messages, phone calls and even invitations to dinner. However, such a seemingly simple promise has not been fulfilled.

But it's not easy.

On the first day of the new year, the city leaders visited the construction site of a key project. Chu Tianshu asked Wei Shijie to arrange for the construction workers to go to the site to cooperate with filming news, and then he met Xiang Wanqing face to face. On the second day of the new year, at the construction site

To officially resume work, safety protection must be emphasized again, which is also a routine measure; on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Shijie took him to pay New Year's greetings to Yi Haitao and his wife. By the way, he also had to visit Shen Guozhang and Wang Shaolei. After all, they were the immediate bosses, so it was a courtesy.

A visit is unavoidable;

After running around for a day, finally at night, Wei Shijie proposed to invite Ning Xin out for a meal, and Chu Tianshu was ridiculed by her again with a gun and a stick.

Ning Xin said, Comrade Lao Chu, if you don't take time to fulfill your promise, I will go back to school in a few days.

Chu Tianshu looked at the flying snow outside and had to explain that he had to wait until the weather cleared up before going up the mountain.

Finally, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather began to clear up, and Yan Zhiyong and several other field staff also went to work early.

Chu Tianshu then made an appointment with Ning Xin to go up to Xiufeng to watch the snow scene on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Xiufeng Mountain is the highest peak in Qingyuan City. The mountain peaks after snow really have a special flavor. The lush woods are covered with white snow and look both wonderful and mysterious.

Although it has snowed heavily for several days, the road up the mountain is smooth and there are many tourists going up the mountain.

After parking the car in the parking lot, Chu Tianshu and Ning Xin realized that the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is the day to worship the God of Wealth. Many people rush to the mountain temple to offer incense and make wishes, praying for the God of Wealth's blessings and good fortune in the coming year.

.

The melodious bells of the temple can be heard from the top of the mountain, and the misty incense rises leisurely. The entire beautiful peak is like an exquisite ink painting, giving people the feeling of being in the middle of a painting.

Ning Xin was very happy. She pulled Chu Tianshu's arm along the way and kept laughing. She pointed at the nearby mountains and dense forests from time to time and asked Chu Tianshu about his adventures with Leng Xue up the mountain last year.

Ning Xin kept asking questions and was very happy, but Chu Tianshu suddenly felt uneasy and worried. He naturally thought about how Leng Xue was doing in his hometown.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the mountain temple. There were more pilgrims and tourists today. Smoke was rising above the huge incense burner in the middle of the yard, which was filled with remaining and smoking incense.

Ning Xin's expression suddenly became serious. She took Chu Tianshu and followed the example of the others next to her. She first lit the incense, respectfully lit it and inserted it into the ashes of the incense burner, then put her palms together and bowed.

Chu Tianshu was slightly amused, thinking how could this girl be so devout to the clay Bodhisattva.

Chu Tianshu couldn't help but spoil Ning Xin's interest, so he also imitated her behavior, offering incense and bowing.

After burning the incense, Ning Xin happily held Chu Tianshu's arm and continued walking to the top of the mountain.

On the way, Chu Tianshu looked at Ning Xin and asked: "Little junior sister, when you worshiped the mountain god, did you make a wish?"

In front of her family, to show politeness, Ning Xin calls Chu Tianshu "Brother Little Chu", while Chu Tianshu directly calls Ning Xin's name. Outside, they like to call her senior brother and junior sister.

"Of course I made a wish. I hope the mountain god will bless us to be so happy and happy in the future... What about you, what wish did you make?" Ning Xin said seriously, with longing and piety in her eyes.

"Maybe I have made a wish. I hope that Buddha will bless my little junior sister to grow up quickly, and I hope that my little junior sister will have a better life in the future..." Chu Tianshu looked at the white mountain top and said softly.

Chu Tianshu's blessing certainly made Ning Xin feel happy, but Chu Tianshu could also see that there was some disappointment and regret in her eyes.

Ning Xin pursed her lips lightly, said nothing, and quickened her pace towards the top of the mountain.

The higher you climb, the better the scenery becomes.

Looking at the mountains and deep streams, they are majestic and unpredictable.

Especially when walking into the winding mountain road that slowly extends upward, the mountain breeze is like soft drizzle falling from the sky, gently caressing and bathing the exposed skin of people entering the mountain.

Ning Xin looked back at Chu Tianshu and said jokingly: "Is it enough to sit in the office every day?"

Chu Tianshu said loudly: "Who said that? Run quickly, don't let me catch you."

In just a few strides, Chu Tianshu caught Ning Xin.

The two people laughed happily, and climbed up hand in hand with the laughter.

The slope of the mountain is not big, it just extends upward slowly. Most of the road sections are steps made of stones. On one side of the path is a creek that sings songs. The water is crystal clear and flows from the top to the bottom.

It flows underground. Even if it is freezing cold, this stream still flows.

Adjacent to the stream are natural lawns that have not been trimmed or maintained, and patches of irregular woods. Their graceful figures are covered by snow.

After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at the halfway point of the mountain. The terrain was changing quietly. Rising peaks appeared unexpectedly. The mountains were endless, the stone walls towering thousands of feet were majestic, and the deep valleys were mysterious.

Unpredictable.

They were no longer looking for beautiful scenery, but had already been nourished, bathed and cultivated by the beautiful scenery. They wandered through the scroll, and the scroll slowly spread out in front of them. They were amazed by the wonderful "sculptures" of the Creator and the charm of nature.

Especially the thrilling story between Chu Tianshu and Leng Xue made Ning Xin amazed.

In fact, the last time Chu Tianshu and Leng Xue were in danger on Xiufeng Mountain, they fell off the cliff halfway up the mountain and did not reach the top of the mountain. Moreover, it was in the dark night shrouded by a storm, and they did not appreciate the beauty of Xiufeng Mountain at all.

Beautiful view.

Unknowingly, they continued walking along a stone path and gradually approached the top of the mountain.

A gust of mountain wind blew by, and Ning Xin hugged her shoulders tightly.

Chu Tianshu asked: "Little junior sister, are you cold?"

Ning Xin's leather boots were covered with snow. Before going out, she wore relatively thin clothes in order to pursue beauty. It was fine when she was walking down the mountain, but when she reached the top of the mountain, she felt the cold.

When Chu Tianshu asked this question, Ning Xin seemed to suddenly wake up and felt a little numb in her hands and feet.

"Cold." Ning Xin said.

Chu Tianshu wanted to take off his coat and give it to Ning Xin.

Ning Xin refused: "No, you will be cold." As she said that, she put her head into Chu Tianshu's coat.

Chu Tianshu stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms and said, "How about we go back? It's such a cold weather and I can't explain it to your parents if you freeze to death."

"No, you said you wanted to accompany me up the mountain to see the snow scene." Ning Xin shook her head and said, "Elder brother, we will be there soon, let's go for a walk."

Chu Tianshu found that every time he was with Ning Xin, this girl would ask for a walk. This gave Chu Tianshu the feeling that when the two of them were alone together, they spent most of the time walking.

Ning Xin obediently leaned her body into Chu Tianshu's arms, and then her hand also held Chu Tianshu's.

His embrace is so warm and his hands are gentle.

Ning Xin wished that this road would never end and let him hug her for the rest of her life.

The two hugged each other and continued walking up the mountain.

Not far away, a reservoir appeared in front of us, with two middle school-aged children playing on the ice.

Ning Xin buried her face in Chu Tianshu's arms and said, "Elder brother, I like the feeling of walking with you. I don't know why, but I feel very happy."

Chu Tianshu hugged Ning Xin's body and said with a smile: "Silly girl, no matter how happy you are, sooner or later you have to walk the road by yourself."

"No, I will go with you." Ning Xin murmured in a low voice, her voice was very soft, like talking in her sleep.

"Haha, if I am sent to the mountains and valleys of Nanling County, will you follow me?" Chu Tianshu teased deliberately.

"Just go, as long as you are here, I won't be afraid." Ning Xin said immediately. In her opinion, as long as she can hold hands and watch the scenery along the way like this, she will be happy even if she reaches the horizon.

Chu Tianshu smiled and joked: "Let me tell you, going to the toilet in ravines is always in the wild. Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm scared." Ning Xin smiled sheepishly and said, "Then just accompany me."

"Humph, you're not ashamed." Chu Tianshu patted Ning Xin's head gently. This lovely girl.

Ning Xin tilted her head and said, "I don't care, I just like to be with you."

Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "Haha, if your father knew that you were going to that poor ravine with me, he would have to put you in solitary confinement."

Ning Xin suddenly stopped, her big black and bright eyes stared at Chu Tianshu's face seriously, and said: "I like you, I just like to be with you, no one cares. I really like you, I like you very much.

.”

A cold wind blew by, and the snowflakes hanging on the treetops were flying.

In this desolate and empty mountain field, facing a vast expanse of pure white snow, a girl as pure as snow looked at her with burning eyes and said: I like you, I like you very much, I like you very much.

At this moment, Chu Tianshu was moved by this persistent little girl.

"Elder brother, do you like me?" Ning Xin stared at Chu Tianshu closely. A small snowflake fell on her eyelashes, and then flew up and down as her eyes blinked, like a cute little snowflake.

of elves.
