Chapter 224 Red Leaf Valley
Chapter 224 Red Leaf Valley
As soon as Shen Qi walked to the garden outside the villa, she saw Xu Yunxi dancing in front.
Every movement is so elegant and gentle, rendering the beauty to the fullest.
No wonder she still looks like an unmarried woman under thirty years old in her forties. She really needs to pay a lot to stay beautiful.
Xu Yunxi spun around and found Shen Qi. After she finished her dance slowly, she smiled at Shen Qi and said, "Why did Xiaoqi get up so early? Are you still used to sleeping in the room?"
"I'm very used to it, thank you, auntie." Shen Qi responded sweetly: "The room is so beautiful, just the way I like it."
Xu Yunxi was very happy when she heard Shen Qi's words: "Yes, girls have to be so delicate to be beautiful. Today I will take you to a good place. The valley is full of red leaves and it is so beautiful. I heard that you are You major in aesthetics and are also good at painting? Then you can go set up an easel today and have a good time."
"Okay." Shen Qi looked at Xu Yuxi with bright eyes: "Thank you, auntie!"
"Little girl, you have such a sweet mouth." Xu Yunxi couldn't help but pinch Shen Qi's cheek. The more she pinched, the more she liked it.
Shen Qi let Xu Yunxi ravage her face, and said with bright eyes: "I have long heard that there is a Red Leaf Valley in P City, which is super beautiful. In autumn, the red leaves all over the mountains and plains look like fire from a distance. I have always wanted to go there. Look, I just don’t have time. This time I finally have such a good opportunity, and I’ll enjoy it no matter what.”
Liu Yi came back from running outside and saw Xu Yunxi tossing Shen Qi's face. He immediately came over and said, "Mom, you bullied Xiao Qi again!"
"Humph, what do you know!" Xu Yunxi rolled her eyes at Liu Yi: "This is what you call a girl! You don't understand what girls are good at!"
Liu Yisheng was afraid of provoking Xu Yunxi's tirade again, so he immediately made a surrender gesture and said: "Yes, yes, mom said yes! Do we have to pack up quickly and get ready to go to godmother's house? Xiaoqi, let me tell you, my godmother Living at the foot of the Red Leaf Valley, the scenery is simply picturesque, perfect for people like you."
Xu Yunxi and Shen Qi laughed at the same time: "We were talking about this just now."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly! Godmother must be waiting impatiently too." Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm going to take a shower right now!"
After leaving these words, Liu Yi turned around and ran away.
After everyone had a simple breakfast, Liu Yi grabbed the car keys and drove Shen Qi and Xu Yunxi straight to Hongye Valley.
Red Leaf Valley is a small canyon.
In the rift zone between two mountain ranges.
The terrain is gentle, the soil is fertile, and the vegetation is rich.
Therefore, the green plants all over the mountains and plains are a natural oxygen bar.
It was late autumn at this time, and the entire valley was filled with maple leaves.
From a distance, it looks like a raging fire.
Shen Qi couldn't help but take out her phone, snap photos of the beautiful scenery in front of her, and post it on Weibo with just a few clicks.
Feng Manlun immediately saw Shen Qi's Weibo post and sent a private message to Shen Qi: "Arrived so soon? I'll arrive around noon."
Shen Qi replied with a smile, indicating that he understood.
Liu Yi introduced to Shen Qi while driving: "My godmother is very discerning. She bought a piece of land here more than 20 years ago and built a palace. The palace is divided into two parts, one is called the temple, and the other is called the temple. Sleeping hall."
Shen Qi stuck out her tongue: "Sure enough, only a writer would give such a name."
Liu Yi laughed, nodded and said, "That's true. Look, the one in front near the lake is the temple, which is actually the living room."
Shen Qi looked in the direction of Liu Yi's finger. The building over there was really... quite special.
The entire living room is located in a triangular shape by the lake.
The whole body is silvery white, the color of the reflected lake water is sparkling.
"Behind the temple is the dormitory. It is the place where godmother rests and works." Liu Yi continued to explain: "Behind the dormitory, there is also a garden. The garden is not big, only about 200 square meters, and there are no plantings. All the precious flowers and plants are transplanted with some local wild flowers and grasses, and they grow wildly. Godmother said that only by accepting the gifts of nature can we understand its beauty."
Xu Yunxi interjected: "Actually, she hasn't lived in this house a few times since it was built. After she got married, it was vacant most of the time. This year, she finally figured it out and wanted to come back and settle down. the house here."
Shen Qi nodded: "It is indeed a pity that it has been idle for so long. But the scenery here is really nice! Living here, you will probably be in a good mood, right?"
The three people drove to the bridge and stopped.
The small wooden bridge is very narrow and can only allow two people to walk side by side.
So everyone got off the car and walked over.
As Shen Qi walked, she stroked the wild flowers at her hands, took a deep breath, and her nose was filled with the fragrance of mountain chrysanthemums.
It's really refreshing.
Liu Yi was very strong and walked in front carrying the three people's things. Shen Qi and Xu Yunxi followed slowly behind.
Xu Yunxi couldn't help but admire and said: "Such a beautiful scenery, I want to build a house here. Unfortunately, I am a person who can't hold my breath, otherwise I would come here with her to escape from the world."
Shen Qi smiled: "Auntie, you have to think about it this way. The house here is so big, she can't live alone. You can come and stay with her when you have nothing to do, so the few nights you stay here are just for keeping her company." interest."
"Hahahaha..." Xu Yunxi burst out laughing: "It's so funny, what you said to her sounds like that. She also said the same thing back then."
Shen Qi slowly walked to the temple and looked up. The buildings here were completely designed according to the terrain.
No wonder it’s called the Temple, it does feel like a pilgrimage.
The ground is not completely flat, but patchwork.
There are several steps here, a platform there, and a pool dug in the middle, which is made of bluestone to form a flower pond in the shape of a trigram.
At this time of year, most of the lotus flowers have failed, but the water lilies in this flower pond are in full bloom.
There are many beautiful porcelains placed on the floor in many places in the living room, all of which are old, making the whole room look particularly simple and quiet.
A platform with an area of about thirty or forty square meters was covered with a red but not tacky carpet.
There is a small bookshelf placed on the carpet, and a small incense burner is placed on one side of the bookshelf.
There are pillows and cushions.
It is obviously a place to meet and chat with guests.
Shen Qi couldn't help but walked towards the platform, caressing the exquisite bookshelf, and ran her fingers across the title page of the book. For some reason, she always felt that the owner of this house must be a person with an extremely independent and strong personality.
Liu Yi put the things away and smiled at Shen Qi and said, "My godmother will probably go to collect the ingredients at this time. Someone will bring food here every day."
Shen Qi nodded, walked barefoot on the carpet, took out a book and sat on the carpet, ready to read it.
Liu Yi and Xu Yunxi went to the flower pond and played with the fish in the pond.
Shen Qi was flipping through the pages, and a yellowed and old photo suddenly fell out of the title page of the book.
Shen Qi quickly picked it up and just stuffed it back.
But when her eyes accidentally swept across the photo, her whole body suddenly stiffened, and her eyes instantly focused!
dad!
Dad's picture!
Shen Qi remembers this photo better than anyone else!
This is a photo that my dad would often take out and look at when I was little!
Why is dad’s photo here?
Does she know dad?
What is her relationship with her father?
She...she...who?
Shen Qi pinched the photo and panicked. She stood up from the ground almost instantly. Holding the photo, she rushed in front of Liu Yi. Her face was pale and she asked with a trembling voice: "Xiao Yi, your godmother." What's her last name?"
Liu Yi was stunned: "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? Are you sick?"
Xu Yunxi also looked at Shen Qi blankly: "Xiao Qi, are you acclimated? Auntie has medicine here..."
Shen Qi was so anxious that she was speechless.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Yi's wrist tightly. Tears filled his eyes instantly and were about to overflow at any time.
"Xiao Qi, don't be impatient, speak slowly if you have anything to say." Xu Yunxi also saw that something was wrong with Shen Qi, and kept patting Shen Qi on the back: "Did something happen?"
"I...I...saw this photo." Shen Qi suddenly raised the photo of his father Lin Yuxiang in front of the two of them: "This photo!"
Liu Yi and Xu Yunxi were also stunned.
"Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yi asked in surprise: "What's wrong with the photo? However, I have never heard that my godmother has any boyfriend outside?"
Shen Qi broke down in tears for a moment: "This is, this is my dad's photo! Dad likes this photo the most. Dad said that this is the only photo that mom has ever taken of him! I think about it, dad is really He said this! When I was five years old, my father told me that this is the only photo my mother ever took of him. If he dies, this photo will be placed on his grave!"
The expressions of Liu Yi and Xu Yunxi changed slightly.
Shen Qi continued to ask: "What is the name of the owner of this house? Is her surname Shen or Shen Ziyao?"
Liu Yi blurted out: "How do you know?"
Shen Qi burst out crying: "My mother's name is Shen Ziyao!"
"No way!" Liu Yi and Xu Yunxi shouted at the same time: "How could it be such a coincidence?"
"My mother was born in the Shen family in Province G. She is the last in the family and is the only eldest daughter in the Shen family. She is a poet, painter, and writer!" Shen Qi felt that she could not control her tears: "Where is she? Where is she now? ?”
Liu Yi was stunned. He pointed at the door and said, "I don't know where my godmother is from. She should be back soon by this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qi didn't even bother to put on her shoes and rushed out like crazy.
Mom, Mom, is it really you?
Mom, are you really back?
don't leave me!
Mom, don't leave me!
don't want……
Shen Qi held the photo and ran out crying, which immediately frightened Liu Yi and Xu Yunxi.
Liu Yi had never seen Shen Qi so glum.
It was as if a person who was about to drown grasped the last straw.
It hurts to cry.
The two people ran out following Shen Qi's footsteps.
She was afraid that Shen Qi would accidentally fall into the lake.
With tears streaming down her face, Shen Qi saw a figure approaching with a basket in hand.
