"Forget it! Ignore them!" Ye Zhiqiu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes fell on Hua Tianxia, looked at her and said with a smile: "I'll stay at noon, have a meal and drink tea before going back."
Hua Tianxia nodded and said, "You can stay a little longer today."
"I'm back!" Before the women could chat in detail, Nalan Yu's voice came to mind at the door of the living room.
When he appeared at the door of the living room, even Li Hongxiu couldn't help but exclaimed: "You're actually back?"
No wonder Li Hongxiu was surprised. There had been no news for several months. Just as he was talking about whether he would break through, he unexpectedly returned to the imperial city in the blink of an eye. Can it not be surprising?
"Hey, come back as soon as you're done!" Nalanyu thought of something and looked at Hua Tianxia and said, "I haven't even passed the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I rushed back right away!"
"You!" Hua Tianxia stared at him. Although he was extremely happy in his heart, there was a scolding look on his face. "Didn't I say that you would come back after breaking through? Tianla, have you broken through?"
"I asked you to be more reserved! Who am I, of course there is no problem." Nalan Yu frowned at Hua Tianxia and said with a smile,
"My brother probably didn't think that I would break through so quickly, even my parents were shocked!"
Looking at the women in front of him, Nalan Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"What do you mean? You can't talk about ghosts at night..." Li Hongxiu looked at him and laughed.
Nalan Yu's words came very quickly: "Are you comparing me to a ghost?"
"Ignore her, tell me quickly, how is my Ye'er doing? How is the princess? How is the little apprentice he accepted?"
Ye Zhiqiu asked nervously while asking Nalanyu to sit down.
Nalan Yu nodded, looked at her and smiled: "My brother went deep into the Tianshan Mountains a month ago, heading all the way to the Dongxuan Territory, crossing the entire Tianshan Mountains and returning to Fengyun City."
Looking at the women in a daze, he continued: "He said that the princess will be able to catch up with me when she comes out of the mountain. The little apprentice of the Nangong family is even more evil. He is already at the fifth level of foundation building at the age of seven. ."
Hua Tianxia was a little surprised, looked at him and asked: "The little girl is only seven years old, and she followed her into the mountains together?"
Ye Zhiqiu frowned and said: "Isn't Ye'er acting recklessly? He hasn't even broken through his own realm yet, but he actually brought the princess and a child into Tianshan Mountain. It's really a bit..."
Li Hongxiu glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't you know that the Imperial Master likes surprises? Maybe when they come back, hehe..."
Nalan Yu smiled and shook his head: "Why haven't you met sir? In fact, if the emperor hadn't been waiting for me to come back, I would have definitely wanted to go into the mountains with him."
Hua Tian was stunned and glared at him fiercely.
Lin Yueru laughed softly, looked at him and asked, "We have already taken the medicine and wine brought back by the imperial master. Have you brought some back to your wife?"
"What treasure?" Hua Tianxia looked at Lin Yueru and asked. After a while, he screamed: "You guys actually broke through again, and you didn't even call me when you got something delicious."
"Oh, what are you talking about? We are with Mr. Tang, a bunch of people are guarding a pot of soup, you can eat private dishes with General Nalan!"
Li Hongxiu looked at her and laughed.
"Mr. Tang? Why haven't you seen Mr. Tang?" Nalan Yu asked, looking at the women.
"Mr. Tang went shopping with three children. What good things did you bring back?" Hua Tianxia looked at him and asked.
Nalanyu was stunned, looked at her and said with a smile: "If there is anything good, it is not the same as what they have eaten. This is all reserved for you by the Imperial Master."
Hua Tianyi was startled and asked with a wry smile: "Didn't you eat?"
Nalan Yu looked at her and smiled: "How can I dare to eat it? I don't even want to drink the wine. I keep it and come back with you."
Hua Tianxia looked at him and smiled charmingly, and said, "You have a conscience!"
Nalan Yu chuckled and did not answer.
Li Hongxiu's heart moved and she said with a smile: "If we hadn't already eaten and drank, today... nothing would have allowed you two to leave!"
"You guys are too bad. You didn't call me when we had something to eat, and now you're trying to trick me again!" Hua Tianxia walked up to Nalan Yu and gently squeezed his shoulders.
"Hongxiu! Stop making trouble." Ye Zhiqiu knew that she liked to make fun. What was she talking about? He couldn't finish the monster meat at home, so why go and fight with Huatian?
After looking at Hua Tianxia, Ye Zhiqiu said: "It's just some monster meat. I'll go to the kitchen and let them make a pot of soup for lunch. As for the wine, let's make do with it."
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the living room.
After being told by Ye Zhiqiu, Li Hongxiu's face turned red and she glared at Nalan Yu fiercely: "It's all your fault. Pour a glass of that wine for me to try later!"
Nalan Yu smiled and didn't respond.
"Has that guy Li Ye ever made you drink the wine he brewed?" Li Hong's sleeves were still flushed, and she could compete with Hua Tianxia.
"The Imperial Master didn't want to drink. He only gave me a jar, just to repay the favor I gave him by inviting him to drink." Nalan Yu said with a smile, thinking that I did want to drink, but he didn't want to.
Hua Tianxia's pretty face was rosy, and she gave Nalan Yu an angry look: "What kind of wine did the master brew? It's so mysterious? How can you repay... Oh my god, it couldn't be the bar that year?"
At this moment, Hua Tianxia finally remembered the day when Li Ye fell drunk in Huamanlou many years ago.
"It's just that vat of wine. It's a pity that he said he only brewed one vat of wine and would never get drunk again." Nalan Yu said with a smile.
Hua Tianxia looked at him blankly and said softly: "I never thought that the Imperial Master would brew such wine. Is there anything in this world that he can't do?"
Hua Tianxia had a few drunken drinks back then, and she still can't forget the taste...
Looking at Nalan Yu and Li Hongxiu, Hua Tianxia murmured to himself in a daze.
"That day I was drinking and mixing new wine, and I was crying while drinking...for her, and for myself...I don't know why I did it, but at that moment, I couldn't control myself, When the wine was brewing, the tears on my face slowly dried up...I wonder if the woman I love the most will shed tears for me."
"Many years have passed... I really want to forget everything that happened that day, but my only flaw is that I have a very good memory, and I can never forget what I should forget... Later I He left the place where he had lived for decades and wandered around the five realms."
"We walked and we got here. ... But there will be a day when you are too old to walk, when you see snowflakes flying all over the sky in the snowy evening, you will think of life. A name, a song... At that moment, you will know that there is only one person you love most..."
"The glass of wine you drank was what I brewed that day. ... Later I wanted to brew it again and tried many methods, but found that I could no longer produce the taste of that kind of wine... Drink Once you finish the wine in the gourd, there will be no more wine in the world!"
...
Hua Tianxia's expression was a little downcast, just like Nalan Yu's appearance that day.
Picking up the teacup on the table is like picking up a cup of drunkenness, gently putting it to your lips, and slowly tasting it one bite at a time.
"Oh, why bother? It's been so many years!" Nalan Yu couldn't help but swallowed a sip of tea, thinking that the mood of that year would naturally be different from the current one.
"I'm wondering what kind of sorrow the Imperial Master must have gone through to be able to brew a wine that is hard to find in this world!"
Hua Tianxia looked at him, took out a silk scarf and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and sighed quietly.
Nalan Yu looked at him and shrugged, "He doesn't want to say it, and I don't dare to ask."
Li Hongxiu looked at the two of them, thinking about what it would be like after drinking that day, and thinking about Mu Mu who had left Li Ye. There was a sudden pain in her heart, and she couldn't help but hold the table with one hand and touch her chest with the other.
Just like when I was a child, I lost my most beloved baby.
...
While several women and gentlemen from the Imperial Prefecture were still congratulating Nalan Yu for breaking through, Li Ye from Tianshan Mountain had already traveled thousands of miles deep with the two girls.
The three of them kept crossing at a height of 800 to 1,000 feet. This was the conclusion Li Ye came to after repeated attempts.
Only this height has the most medicinal herbs, and the wild fruits and mushrooms are also the most delicious.
It is already late autumn in the Tianshan Mountains, and there have been several autumn rains. In the woods and grass, mushrooms are growing like crazy, scrambling to reproduce, vowing to complete the reproduction of life before winter comes.
Xia Wutong and Nangong Ruyu, under the leadership of Li Ye, picked countless mushrooms and dried them. Even the wild pears on Tianshan Mountain were picked out in large quantities. They were cleaned and Li Ye put them in an empty wine vat, and then poured water on them. Pickled with some honey.
Nangong Ruyu licked her lips and smiled: "Now that Yu'er has something delicious to eat on a snowy day, the master is the best."
Xia Wutong looked at her and smiled: "You are just a snack. Have you practiced your sword today?"
Nangong Yiyu was stunned, looked at her in surprise and asked: "Sister, Master is in charge of Yu'er..."
The meaning is obvious, the master is not angry today, maybe he can be lazy for a while.
They were walking through the woods. Li Ye, who was walking at the front, ignored the two bickering behind him and just paid attention to the surrounding environment to prevent sudden wild beasts from jumping out and hurting people.
However, before he could go very far, Xia Wutong's exclamation came from behind him.
Li Ye ducked back instantly.
"Why panic?" Li Ye frowned as he looked at the two of them. They would not call out absentmindedly unless something happened.
Nangong Ruyu pointed to a hole behind her and said, "Master, my sister's sword fell into this hole..."
Li Ye was stunned and lowered his head to look into the dark cave, feeling like he couldn't see the bottom at a glance.
"Why do you hold the sword in your hand?" Li Ye suddenly felt a little upset in his heart. He was rushing on his way, but now something happened, he had to waste a lot of time and effort.
"Aren't I scared?" Xia Wutong raised his head and glanced at the ancient tree in the sky, thinking who knows if a monster will suddenly come out.
Li Ye shook his head and did not blame her anymore. The most important thing now was to go down to the cave to pick up her Fengming Sword.
"Junior brother, do you really want to go down?" Xia Wutong stood at the entrance of the cave and asked Li Ye.
"Are you going down with me, or are you staying on the ground with Yu'er and waiting for me?" Li Ye looked at her and asked.
"Yu'er wants to be with the master and cannot stay here. What if there is a monster that Yu'er can't defeat?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at Li Ye with a determined expression. She, who had never known fear since she was a child, actually wanted to burrow into this hole with Li Ye.
"Since Yu'er is going, I can't stay here alone."
Xia Wutong glanced around, crossed his arms, shuddered, and said firmly.
"Forget it, let's go down together, I'll get off first, and you guys will follow."
Li Ye walked aside and picked up some branches to make three torches, handed one to Xia Wutong, took out the torch, lit one, and threw it into the hole.
Regardless of whether there is danger or not, giving it a try with fire is the best way.
Li Ye talked to Xia Wutong for a few words and decided to go down to the cave to take a look first.
I didn't know anything about the situation under the cave, and I didn't know how I would die if I went down rashly. I had to throw a torch in first. If there were monsters in there, they would probably be frightened and run out within a short time.
After waiting for a long time, there was no response inside, and the torch continued to burn in the cave.
"I'll go down first, you and Yu'er follow. Yu'er gives your sister your sword!" Li Ye said.
Xia Wutong looked at him and nodded.
Light smoke kept coming out of the hole, presumably because the torches thrown in earlier lit up the dead branches and leaves inside.
The cave is very deep, and everything you see is dark.
But he could see a trace of fire below, which was the burning torch Li Ye threw in.
The cave went diagonally downwards, and there was a path with pebbles and dirt. Li Ye waved his iron sword to open the way in front. After he walked two or three feet in, Xia Wutong took Yu'er's little hand and walked in.
