The weather of autumn was clear and refreshing, and the sky was blue as wash.
Shu Lan took out the thick quilt, took down the outer quilt cover, and gave it to Xiao Lang to wash. She sat down on the heated-brick bed and sewed a new quilt. That was the quilt made when she got married. After covering it for several years, the cotton inside was thin, white, yellow, and black, and not warm at all.
Spread a thick layer of new cotton on the quilt with rich peony embroidered on the red background to make sure it was even everywhere. She laid another layer of a quilt on top. First, sew the four sides with stitches, and then sew a line every palm distance in the middle because the stitches did not need to be too dense, she sewed quickly. When Xiao Lang had finished drying the quilt and walked in, a new quilt was ready.
“Here, take it outside to dry it. We’ll use this tonight.” In the mid-autumn season, it was still warm during the day, but it got colder at night.
Xiao Lang sniffed the quilt and looked up at her: “Ah Lan, you are so skillful!” The lazy girl was lazy, but she remembered everything that involved sewing, such as the four seasons of the year, the usual shoes, socks, belts, pillowcases, bedding, and so on. These were exactly what he couldn’t do well.
Being praised, Shu Lan was very happy. She packed the needle and threads, swept the cotton on the heated-brick bed, got up to put on her shoes, and got off the heated-brick bed.
Xiao Lang looked at her strangely: “What are you going to do?”
“Today is a good day. I’ll take Quanquan to play outside.” After the two of them got married, he threw Quanquan in the west wing, saying it disturbed their sleep.
Xiao Lang knew the stinky bird was precious to her. His eyes flashed and he went with her.
After drying the new quilt, she saw that he had put the bird cage on the windowsill, so she teased Quanquan with the willow branch in her hand, leaving him a slim figure.
Xiao Lang looked at the red sun that had just risen to the top of the tree. Thinking he hadn’t been out much recently, he walked over and hugged her shoulders: “Ah Lan, I want to go hunting, do you want to accompany me?” Let her go for a walk in the mountains, the autumn in the mountains was more beautiful than the spring and summer.
“Okay, then you have to carry me when I’m tired.” Shu Lan rubbed against his chin, knowing he couldn’t stay at home. If he brought it up today, he must have been suffocated. The longer they spent time together, the more she knew what the man was thinking.
“Ah Lan is so nice...” Xiao Lang lowered his head, kissed her small face, and dragged her into the house to change clothes, and said as he walked, “You don’t need to bring dry food, we’ll have a barbecue on the mountain later.”

The mountains in autumn were really beautiful. The ground was covered with thick golden leaves, which made a creaking sound when you stepped on them. When the breeze blew, the dead leaves that were still hanging on the trees would make a rustling sound, reminding them to look up. Looking up, the line of sight swept across the straight branches, through the almost bare branches, and suddenly saw the clear blue sky in the distance, cloudless, like an upside down sapphire, as beautiful as it was washed with water.
Walking on such a mountain, one’s heart was calm.
Xiao Lang’s big hand held Shu Lan’s small hand and walked forward easily and arbitrarily. He said he was hunting, but several hares ran past, he didn’t do anything.
“Older brother Wolf, I’m hungry.” After some time, Shu Lan stopped and looked at Xiao Lang.
Xiao Lang stroked her long hair, which was tied up at random, and said with a smile, “Okay.”
As a rabbit ran past them, he drew a bow, and shot an arrow, hitting it with a single blow.
They walked to the river. Shu Lan was in charge of holding the leaves to make a fire, Xiao Lang squatted by the river and cleaned the rabbit meat, and finally, put it on a wooden pole and roasted it on the fire. He brought all the seasonings with him, waited for when the rabbit meat was sizzling, sprinkled the seasoning on it, and then sat and waited.
Sitting down against the tree, he hugged Shu Lan on his lap and lowered his head to kiss her. There was no desire, he just wanted to kiss her.
Shu Lan hugged his neck and kissed him back gently. Compared with the madness in the past, today he was extra gentle, and the faint feeling was like ordinary chat.
“Ah Lan, the rabbit meat is cooked...” Seeing her lying in his arms and not wanting to go down, he reminded her helplessly.
Shu Lan shrank in his arms, her small hands circled around his neck, and her almond eyes stared at him: “You hold me to eat!”
“But it’s inconvenient. What if you get your clothes dirty... Okay, I’ll hug you to eat!” Xiao Lang said halfway through and saw that she closed her eyes, so he had to carry her and walk to the campfire. He sat down cross-legged, put out the fire, and waited for the rabbit meat to cool a little, then he tore off a piece and handed it to her mouth, and then tore it up for him to eat.
After eating a rabbit, the left arm he held her also became numb. Shu Lan stood up contentedly. After he washed his hands, she threw herself on his back and let him carry her.
Xiao Lang reluctantly patted her little buttocks, weighed the person up, and strode back.
“Older brother Wolf, look over there, isn’t that a walnut tree?” Turning a corner, a big tree full of fruits suddenly appeared and it looked like the walnut he gave her that year. Shu Lan couldn’t help propping on his shoulders and shouted.
Xiao Lang looked in the direction of her finger, surprise flashed in his black eyes. She was referring to the walnut tree he accidentally discovered back then! But at that time, the walnut tree was only as thick as his arm, and now it was as thick as an adult waist. It was covered with palm-sized green fruits and the peel was cracked, revealing the gray walnut shell inside.
“Does Ah Lan want to eat walnuts?” He asked with a smile, thinking of the pitiful appearance of her suffering.
“I want to eat walnuts!” Shu Lan shook her calves and urged him to go there.
Xiao Lang carried her on his back and walked over there. When he got under the tree, he was about to let go of her, but Shu Lan had already climbed the tree trunk with both hands, kicking her feet on his broad shoulders, and crawling up.
After being slightly stunned, Xiao Lang laughed softly and looked up at her.
