Chapter 3 - go up the mountain
Early the next morning, Xia Chu woke up. She didn’t want to be disturbed by the maid, so she dressed neatly, and wrote a letter to her father. Then he quietly left the house.
When we reached the bottom of Zilan Mountain, it was just dawn, and the sun showed a soft orange light unique to the morning.
At the beginning of Xia Xia, the pine tree at the foot of the mountain was as tall and stout as I remembered, and there were five red silks hanging from the top branches flying in the wind.
Not far from the pine tree is the maze, and after he entered the formation, his heart became sour again. He grew up on this mountain since he was a child. When he was eight years old, he sneaked down the mountain and suffered a serious injury. He also destroyed the maze at the foot of the mountain. Later, the master Bai Ruofei came and took him back, and so far he was strictly forbidden to go down the mountain.
When Xiahou Ye sent a letter to his master when he was thirteen years old, Bai Ruofei let him go home. If the circumstances of the previous life were added, he should not have come back for more than ten years. According to the memory, lightly and skillfully walked out of the maze. At the beginning of Xia, he did not perform light work. He climbed on foot and seemed to feel the scenery along the way.
There are two mountain peaks in Zilan Mountain, and there will be two mountain roads on the mountainside, and the formations of the two mountain roads are also different. One leads to Zishan Peak and the other leads to Blue Mountain Peak. Xia Chu thought about it at the fork in the road and decided to go to the Blue Mountains first. There are all kinds of flowers on the back of the Blue Mountain Peak and along the way. Even in the middle of winter, the sea of flowers in the mountains has not been affected by the cold winter at all, blooming with the curves of the mountains. Reachable and refreshing.
Xia Chu climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, and saw a wooden house in front of him with a fence around the outer layer. There is also a plaque with the word Lanyuan on the door. He pushed open the door and saw Lan Yuying. Xia Chu recalled that they were only five years old when they first met. The old man Lan brought her sick to Bai Ruofei. It was the first time that Xia Chu saw a child of his size happy on the mountain, pestering her to chat endlessly.
“How old are you? What’s your name? What’s the disease? It’s fine, no matter what kind of disease Bai Ruofei’s medical skills are amazing, but it’s too painful to take medicine.” Speaking of which, a small wrinkled face seemed to think of the old days The taste of your own medicine.
“Here.” Lan Yuying took out a small bottle from the kit and handed it to Xia Chu. “The nectar I brewed can be drunk after taking medicine.”
Xia Chu grinned. “You are so kind. My name is Xia Chu, the word Yunyi.”
“Lan Yuying, the word is Meng’an.”
“When you’re well, I’ll take you to hunt birds.”
“good.”
Childhood friendship is so easy, and they are each other’s only playmates. Since then, Xia Chu has taken Lan Yuying to climb trees to pick fruits, go up the mountain to hunt birds, and even ruined Bai Ruofei’s many medicinal fields. Lan Yuying took him how many rare flower seeds in Lanyuan, and brewed him many bottles of nectar.
These memories are really beautiful, and the corners of Xia Chu’s mouth couldn’t help but smile. He restrained his mind and looked at Lan Yuying at this time. Wearing a sky blue brocade skirt, white velvet was sewn on the neckline and cuffs, and a few butterflies with wings were embroidered on the skirt. She stood in the flower field again, and when the wind blew, she felt butterflies fluttering among the flowers. The cold temperament of Lan Yuying is particularly dusty.
“Meng An, I’m back.”
Lan Yuying’s hand that was watering the flowers loosened, and the wooden scoop fell, pressing on the pansy. She turned back, her face was like a hibiscus, and her eyebrows were like Liu Dai. Her eyes, which were even more charming than peach blossoms, had an air of arrogance, and at this moment there were faint tears in her eyes.
“There are beautiful women in Huatian, peerless and independent.” Xia Chu winked at her and opened his arms.
Lan Yuying held up her skirt and smiled. Step by step, he rushed to embrace the early summer.
“You’ve been gone for more than a month, and Mr. Bai said that you won’t come back when you go down the mountain this time.” Lan Yuying’s vocal cords choked.
It’s only a month or so, but it has been more than ten years in the early summer.
“Where’s the blue old man?”
“Go to Mr. Bai.”
“Let’s go, let’s go to the master too. I want to make a meal for you.”
“When will you cook?”
“Well, I went back to my hometown to study.” After he came down from the mountain in the previous life, he studied many of his favorite dishes for Xiao Yanjun, and was really blinded by lard.
Xia Chu held Lan Yuying’s waist, this time, instead of walking up the mountain in a leisurely manner, he directly performed light work and went to Zishan Peak. When she both landed in Bai Zhai, Bai Ruofei and Lan Xilin were playing chess in the yard. When Bai Ruofei saw the beginning of Xia, the hand that was about to make a move froze in the air and was stunned. Lan Xilin Xu was about to lose, so he simply rubbed the pieces on the chessboard together. “No, no, no. Hey, why did Xiaochu come back?”
Xia Chuyi lifted his robe and knelt down, raising his hand to salute. “My apprentice misses my master, and if I don’t see him for a day, it’s like three autumns. Although I have been down the mountain for more than a month, I don’t know how many springs and autumns have passed.”
Bai Ruofei’s mouth twitched invisibly. “How can you become so glib when you go down the mountain. Get up, be polite, and do this great gift.”
Lan Yuying pulled Xia Chu to stand up. Xia Chu sighed softly, thinking to himself, it’s true that the slick tongue is true, and the miss is true. How many springs and autumns have passed, it is true.
“Master, my apprentice wants to learn martial arts. What do you think can make your apprentice invincible in a short period of time?”
There was a hint of sneer on Bai Ruofei’s lips. “I taught you before, but you don’t practice life or death. You only have a little success in Qinggong and medical skills. Now let me see? Oh, you can’t do any of them.”
“Ah? Master… Then what kind of hidden weapon can kill you in one move?”
Bai Ruofei held his forehead and thought for a moment, “There is one thing, it is very suitable, and you are very familiar with it.” After speaking, a silver needle flew out and plunged into the Jianjing point of Xiachi. He suddenly felt half numb.
“You should know that the death point is divided into four points: soft and numb, dizzy, light and heavy, each of which has nine points. Together, there are thirty-six fatal points. Fighting between life and death can be used as the ultimate move. Baihui Falling to the ground, the tail will not return to the hometown, Zhangmen was hit, nine of ten people died, the sun and the dumbmen will definitely see the king of hell, the spine will be broken, and the knee will die.” Bai Ruofei read the formula while He walked to Xia Chu’s side and pulled out the silver needle from his Jianjing point. “It’s just that you have to work **** the strength of this flying needle.”
“Teacher understands. This silver needle is very suitable for me as a hidden weapon.”
“This is why you came back?” Bai Ruofei raised her eyebrows.
“I’m going to Hanyang to join the army camp after the year of my apprentice. Just my three-legged cat’s kung fu must be something that saves my life.”
“You want to join the army?”
“Hmm. Something to do.”
Seeing his evasive words, Bai Ruofei rolled his eyes at him.
Xia Chu was relieved to see Bai Ruofei no longer asked, and turned to Lan Yuying and said, “Meng An, I have to trouble you to prepare some spices for me.”
“Eh? What’s the smell?”
“Well, get me some of the various functional types. They are made into fragrant powder, fragrant tablets, fragrant pills and fragrant threads.” Xia Chu put it to Lan Yuying’s ear and lowered his voice and said softly: “There is also aphrodisiac incense. .”
“What? You asked the descendants of the Lan family, who are the number one incense in the world, to make you aphrodisiac!” Lan Xilin was furious when he heard Xia Chu’s low words. Bai Ruofei was also embarrassed and looked up at the sky. Lan Yuying blushed and looked charming.
Xia Chu coughed. “Walking around the rivers and lakes, just in case of emergency. Old man Lan, how can you think so dirty.”
Lan Xilin got angry and kicked Xia Chu with a kick. Xia Chu dodged behind Lan Yuying. Lan Xilin was furious and bullied him, Xia Chu raised his arms and swept back. Lan Xilin chased, Xia Chu ran. Up and down the tree, in front of the house and behind the house, tossed for half an hour.
Xia Chu smiled, “Old man Lan, you forgot. Since last year, you haven’t been able to beat me…”
Lan Xilin was out of breath and stopped chasing. He stood on the spot and gritted his teeth and said, “If you fall into my hands once, you will break your legs and bury them in my Lanyuan as flower fertilizer.”
Xia Chu was sitting on a tree trunk with one left leg bent and one right leg hanging down and swinging. Hearing Lan Xilin grit his teeth, his smile grew brighter. “Your Lanyuan can’t keep me. Besides, I have to turn Meng An down the mountain.”
“Bah, the beauty you think.”
Xia Chu saw a look of hope flashing in Lan Yuying’s eyes, and ignored Lan Xilin. He jumped down from the tree and said to Lan Yuying, “Meng’an, I will pick you up from the mountain when I return from Hanyang.” Without waiting for her to answer, she took her hand and ran to the back mountain.
“I’m going to hunt some game, and Meng An follows me to pick some vegetables. Make a meal, treat it, and practice it for me.”
Lan Xilin stared at Bai Ruofei fiercely as he watched their backs go away. “You teach a good apprentice.”
Bai Ruofei held her forehead and muttered, “What I teach is naturally excellent.”
“What are you mumbling about?”
“Nothing, another plate?”
“I don’t want to kill you, you won’t keep your armor!”
