"My dear mother!"
Lin Xiaoyu ran with her legs and hid behind Yu Yueyue. She hugged Yu Yueyue's slender waist tightly with both hands. From time to time, she poked her head out to take a peek, and asked weakly with trembling lips:
"Good sister, has she left?"
"Who is it?"
"That Hongyi you are talking about, sister Hongyi." Lin Xiaoyu thought that she couldn't call others ghosts in person, so she immediately changed her words to please her.
"You have recognized her as your good sister. She must not be able to let go of your little sister."
"What's the meaning?"
"She is determined to follow you for the rest of her life."
………………………
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Yu Yueyue had to quickly find a backwater bay to park the boat. Otherwise, the light was too dark and if it hit a rock cliff or reef, the night would be over.
Unfortunately, my sailing skills were too poor, so I had to admit my mistake and coaxed Lin Xiaoyu into saying:
"Sister Xiaoyu, I scared you on purpose just now. There is no one living here, so where can I find a female ghost?
Let's quickly find a place to park the boat. "
Lin Xiaoyu became angry when he heard this. He glared at Yu Yueyue fiercely and asked angrily:
"Yu Yueyue, you are already a grown-up. Why are you still making such kid jokes, regardless of the occasion? It's dark and dark at night. Aren't you afraid of attracting the female ghost in red?"
"Didn't you insist that you weren't afraid of ghosts just now? Who knew you were so unafraid? Brother Cong Wen also scared me in the same way at the beginning, but you were still safe afterwards."
Yu Yueyue was feeling guilty that she was too reckless this time. She really shouldn't bring up the topic of the female ghost in red at night.
At this time, the night was deep, and the boat was sailing slowly with the help of the mesmerizing moonlight. The green river water looked dark and deep, as if there were a pair of giant green eyes at the bottom of the river staring at me all the time.
The mountain owls on all sides cried out in mourning, their voices shrill, as if they would rush onto the boat at any moment.
Yu Yueyue scanned the four sides of the boat in a thrilling manner, as if a female ghost in red was floating all over the boat, and everything she could see was ghostly shadows.
"Sister Xiaoyu, have you found the backwater bay where the boat is parked?"
For safety reasons, Yu Yueyue and Lin Xiaoyu chose to sit back to back and take care of each other.
"It's almost there. There seems to be a backwater bay ahead, but the light is too dark. I can't see clearly from such a distance. I'll know if I drive over."
Lin Xiaoyu controlled the sail with both hands, and sometimes he was distracted by the air strikes of raptors in the sky. There was a dark wind behind him, and he always felt that there was a female ghost in red sneering at him from a distance.
"Sister Yueyue, they all say that you sing well, why don't you just hum a little song to pass the time? Why am I feeling more and more terrifying.
In these wild mountains and ridges, there are birds of prey above us, big fish in the water, and ferocious beasts on the mountains looking at us with wide eyes. You just invited a female ghost in red to circle around us. Brother Wen will never come back. I'm almost scared to death of you! "
Yu Yueyue made Lin Xiaoyu say that she felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar. For a moment, she was surrounded by shadows, including jackals, tigers and leopards waiting for an opportunity, as if they would swarm her as long as she closed her eyes.
"Who told you that I sing well, was it Yu Congwen?"
Yu Yueyue thought about the only time she had been forced to sing by Ye Congwen in Tieta Village when she was so old. She blurted it out without thinking and decided that it was Ye Congwen who was gossiping about her embarrassing things in front of Lin Xiaoyu.
"Hey! There is a backwater bay ahead, and there is a place for the boat to stop!"
Lin Xiaoyu found a water area where the boat was parked, and immediately clapped his hands with a smile on his face and said. He glanced back at the angry Yu Yueyue and replied disdainfully:
"Brother Congwen is not that boring. He always tries his best to make me happy when he is with me. How can he be in the mood to spread gossip about you?
Huh! Something's wrong? Have you ever performed your singing talent in front of Brother Congwen? Is it the kind where you sing and dance at the same time?
I heard that many mountain tribes like to sing and dance around the campfire. Did you also experience this when you went to Brother Congwen’s hometown last time? "
Yu Yueyue hummed softly and said no more. Thinking that she had almost embarrassed herself just now, she still had to be careful with her words and actions.
Lin Xiaoyu concentrated on controlling the boat. Within a few minutes, the boat quietly sailed into a calm boating bay, at least a hundred meters away from the mainstream river. The shore was covered with some low grass, which didn't look like anything. It looks like a hidden beast.
The two men worked together to drop the copper anchor and anchor the boat in the middle of the bay. I originally wanted to light the oil lamp, but unfortunately Ye Congwen Qian warned me not to light the lamp. He had no choice but to hide in the room, quietly open a window, and stare at the blurred river in the distance, always imagining Ye Congwen's sudden appearance.
Yu Yueyue saw that the atmosphere was depressing, and the two of them did not dare to speak, for fear of attracting the attention of ferocious birds and beasts, so she slowly touched the stern of the boat with the luminous pearl.
I found that the charcoal fire in the stove had not been completely extinguished, so I quickly added some charcoal, washed the rice, added water and cooked a pot of rice on top.
Ye Congwen climbed to the top of Dufeng and carefully recorded the location of Baoshan. At dusk, all the mist-shrouded mountains were faintly exposed.
The so-called thousand feet is the momentum, and the hundred feet is the shape. The momentum comes and the shape stops, which is the whole qi. Where there is full Qi, it should be stopped!
The main peaks of these giant mountains are more than a thousand feet high, majestic, majestic, and vast.
Surrounded by side peaks, the height is only a hundred feet, but the width is extremely wide, stretching for hundreds of miles at every turn. The terrain is gentle and there are abundant forests and trees. It is indeed a natural place to hide treasures.
The most rare thing is that these two endless rows of mountains are symmetrical across the river, which means that the elixir grows in two parts. The so-called east mountain collapses in the west, and the spiritual bell responds in the east. As long as the elixir is dug out on any mountain, there is a high probability that the elixir of the same quality will be hidden in the symmetrical mountain.
How can something that kills two birds with one stone not make people happy?
Ye Congwen used the Qi-gazing technique he learned from the burial scriptures. He was so mesmerized at the top of the mountain that he forgot the time. It was completely dark when he came down the mountain.
Fortunately, there was moonlight, and in places without trees, we could still see the ground clearly through the moonlight.
Ye Congwen slid down the mountain along a smooth stone ravine, and unexpectedly caught a dozen stone frogs in a stone crevice. They were huge. He weighed them in his hand and found that each one weighed at least one or two kilograms.
Stone frog, also known as stone chicken, has a delicious, sweet and chewy taste. It is ten times sweeter than printed mandarin fish and is the best choice for making soup.
However, the stone frogs hid in the cracks when they heard the noise, and it took Ye Congwen a lot of time to fish them out one by one.
This caused me to be delayed for a full hour. When I arrived at the mooring bay, it was already past eight o'clock at night.
"I'm sorry, I came back a little late, but the time wasted. Can you see what good things I brought back?"
Ye Congwen jumped on the boat and as soon as he hooked the small wooden boat up, Lin Xiaoyu jumped into his arms and started complaining straight to the point:
"Why did you come back just now! I almost scared sister Yueyue! You have to discipline your sister properly, it's so unreasonable!"
"Yu Yueyue, hurry up and make dinner. The chicken is much more delicious than the fish!"
Ye Congwen was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Xiaoyu's complaints. This girl often caused trouble. She probably did something wrong and was reprimanded by Yu Yueyue, so she held a grudge and wanted to slander Yu Yueyue in front of him.
After a few perfunctory words, he started to discuss the dinner. Lin Xiaoyu saw that Ye Congwen had half a bag of things in his hand, and from the tone of his instructions, he was planning to ask Yu Yueyue to make dinner.
He immediately gave up his thoughts of complaining. There would be ready-made meals to eat later, so it was better not to anger Yu Yueyue. If she loses her temper, won't she have to bother Brother Congwen to make dinner again, and who will talk to her to relieve her boredom?
When Yu Yueyue saw Ye Congwen's figure appearing on the river, her tense nerves instantly relaxed, and she felt the moonlight was hazy and poetic.
Yu Yueyue took the bag and walked to the stern of the boat without saying a word. Within a few minutes, she suddenly screamed, which scared Ye Congwen and ran over quickly.
"What's wrong?"
"You, didn't you say it was a pheasant? Why are they all toads?"
Yu Yueyue complained with a pale face, thinking that Ye Congwen was teasing her again, so she rolled her eyes fiercely.
"The stone frog is also called the stone chicken. Because its meat is as delicious as chicken, it earned this reputation. Have you never heard of it?"
"It looks so disgusting. There are pockmarks all over the body, just like a toad. Goosebumps will appear on your hands when you touch it. It's better for you to kill me."
Yu Yueyue turned around and left, walking aside to prepare the ingredients for the stew.
Ye Congwen was speechless, so he had to clean the stone frog quickly with his hands and feet, and then added ginger and pickled pepper to make a sour soup stone frog.
The three of them had a big meal, and then discussed and planned the itinerary for the next ten days. When Yu Yueyue and Lin Xiaoyu heard that they would probably explore six to seven hundred mountains, they were both dumbfounded.
But the good news is that about sixty or seventy of them have the possibility of having elixirs growing on them. The two of them counted on their fingers. Even if they calculated at a ratio of one-tenth, they would be able to dig out at least six or seven pairs of elixirs. Lin Xiaoyu was so surprised that he was so excited that his face turned red and he sighed with a smile. road:
"Seven pairs of elixirs are divided among three people. Brother Congwen has the most credit for three of them. Sister Yueyue and I are assisting. Each of us can get two pairs. Haha! If my ascariasis is cured by the elixir, I will be able to By then, you have become a fair and beautiful beauty. Brother Wen, I am starting to be jealous of you!"
“You’re thinking about finding the elixir before digging, Lin Xiaoyu, you’re so thick-skinned!
Brother Congwen really wants to give you two pairs of double-colored elixirs. I'm afraid you'll wake up laughing at night. How dare you be jealous of others? You don't know how to hunt for treasure mountains, and you don't know the location of elixirs. What right do you have to be jealous of him for taking three copies? "
Yu Yueyue really couldn't stand Lin Xiaoyu's behavior. She wanted to get the elixir before digging, and she wanted to sit back and watch, so she had to beat her hard.
"Who is jealous that he took three copies of the elixir? Am I such a superficial person?"
Lin Xiaoyu immediately retorted, rolling his eyes at Yu Yueyue, then hugging Ye Congwen's arm with a shy look, sighing faintly:
"If I take a lot of elixirs and become a fair and beautiful woman, wouldn't it be an advantage to your brother? You have a sister-in-law who is as charming and beautiful as a flower out of nowhere. I am jealous of your brother's wealth!"
…………
"It's getting late. We have to go up the mountain to look for elixir tomorrow. Let's get some rest early!"
Ye Congwen suddenly thought of those three heaven-level skills. The three of them were destined to be in the same boat and dream together tonight, and maybe there would be unexpected gains! He quickly urged the two of them to go to bed.
The three of them quietly walked into the cabin, not daring to light the lamp at night. Yu Yueyue had no choice but to use the weak moonlight from the window to touch the bed.
"Brother Congwen, please don't close the curtain, okay? Sister Xiaoyu is afraid that the female ghost in red will follow me, so I won't be afraid if I look at you."
Ye Congwen was about to close the curtain and go to sleep when he suddenly heard Lin Xiaoyu begging delicately from the opposite side, shrinking in fear. He was so scared that he shrank into a ball. He didn't know whether it was true or not.
"Why are you bringing her up again? I'm not afraid of sleeping by the window. You talk so much while sleeping inside. Do you want us to change positions?"
Yu Yueyue made Lin Xiaoyu suspicious, and suddenly felt a red shadow floating outside the window, whimpering as if whispering in her ear, and immediately ordered:
"Brother, wait until we fall asleep before closing the curtains. Little fish are timid and most afraid of ghosts and monsters."
Lin Xiaoyu thought that he was escorted by his brothers and sisters from the Yu family in front of and behind him. After working hard all day, he fell asleep peacefully after a while.
"Go to bed quickly, it's very late."
Ye Congwen urged and found that Lin Xiaoyu was already asleep, so he simply didn't open the curtain. What if the dream couldn't come together? It’s a matter of three heaven-level magical arts, so there’s no room for sloppiness!
