The summer solstice in Fengyun City is different from other places. The summer solstice in other towns is already getting hotter, but because Fengyun City is close to the Tianshan Mountains, even when the summer solstice arrives, there is still a hint of coolness.
Hongxiu Restaurant is still the restaurant with the best business in Fengyun City, because today is the wedding day of the shopkeeper, Princess Tang Youyu, and officials from the city lord's palace, as well as businessmen who have business dealings with Tang Hu Qingshan, always go there.
This new incident was quite a sensation in the small Fengyun City. Not only are the two families close, one is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the other is the owner of the medicine pavilion. The main reason is that their children are practicing in Qingcheng.
This is something that many practitioners in Fengyun City talk about.
After receiving the news, Li Hongxiu, Ye Zhiqiu and Lin Yueru all returned here. Li Xiaoxue and Shangguan Qiu Ming naturally followed them, but Ming and Xu Jingyun stayed in the imperial city to practice with their husband.
In the words of the teacher, it was a troubled time and someone had to keep an eye on it at the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
Li Hongxiu and Ye Zhiqiu knew about the matter between their husband and Li Ye, so they naturally had no objections. The master was at the breaking point, so Ye Zhiqiu would stay in the imperial city and bring his daughter back to attend the marriage between Tang Qiu and Xiao Ju.
The adults were happy, and Shangguan Qiuming was even happier following Li Yesue. The two were no longer the little guys they used to be. Li Xiaoxue was already twelve years old, almost thirteen, and Shangguan Qiuming was almost eleven.
Tang Chao's mother Chen Fu and Xiao Ju's mother Bai Xue had been guarding the restaurant early in the morning. When they saw Li Hongxiu coming in three carriages, they couldn't help but take out their handkerchiefs even though they had seen some scenes. Wipe away tears.
After a few years of not seeing him again, several women were pulling him towards the restaurant.
Only Li Xiaoxue led Shangguan Qiuming to set off firecrackers on the small bridge.
Li Xiaoxue, who asked Li Ye to set off firecrackers in the church, now likes this thing. Whenever there is a festival, Ye Zhiqiu will buy some firecrackers to cheer her up.
Now the two of them took some firecrackers from the door of the restaurant, lit them with fire and played on the bridge.
"Sister Xiaoxue, will your brother be my brother-in-law?" Shangguan Qiu Ming asked, looking at the poem on the stone railing.
This is the story after Li Xiaoxue told him that Li Ye had an affair with his sister after he wrote this poem.
Li Xiaoxue lit a firecracker and threw it into the river. She looked back at him and said with a smile, "This is a natural thing. Doesn't your sister live in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion? Isn't my brother the Imperial Preceptor?"
Shangguan Qiuming nodded and said with a smile: "I know about this, but I don't know when my brother-in-law will come back from Tianshan."
Li Xiaoxue was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "I heard from my mother that it takes a year and a half at the fastest to become an elephant, right? What are you afraid of? Sister Princess also followed. I heard that my brother also found a young apprentice, so I You can be a sister now.”
Shangguan Qiuming looked at the sedan chair coming from a distance and pulled Li Xiaoxue's sleeve: "The bride is here, let's ask her for a red envelope."
Li Xiaoxue looked back, quickly lit a firecracker, covered her ears and ran towards the door of the restaurant.
In the distance, a burst of firecrackers went off. Li Hongxiu, who was hiding in the restaurant, pulled Chen Fu and his gang out and ran out. He looked at Li Xiaoxue and waved, "Come here quickly and ask for a red envelope from the bride!"
Lin Yueru stood behind and said with a smile: "Hongxiu, you are teaching bad children, and they are not short of the money in this red envelope."
Li Hongxiu turned around and said with a smile: "What do you know? This is just for fun and luck!"
Suddenly, firecrackers went off outside the restaurant, the guests had arrived, and the music and rituals were blaring, making it lively.
Tang Youyu and Hu Qingshan also walked out and laughed when they saw Xiniang pulling Xiaoju out of the sedan chair.
"Qingshan, from today on, we are a family!" Tang Youyu sighed with emotion.
"I said, Old Tang, haven't we always been a family? Are you saying this to others?"
Hu Qingshan smiled reluctantly.
Tang Chao stood dazedly at the door of the restaurant, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Ju's hand as she walked over, and asked, "Are you tired?"
When Li Hongxiu saw it, he smiled and said, "It seems that my uncle is in a hurry, so he needs to go in quickly to do some work!"
Holding Xiaoju's hand with one hand, Chen Qian and others shouted.
After another routine was completed, Xiaoju, who was all red, moved her steps lightly, lowered her head and walked into the restaurant.
As soon as a group of people walked into the building, a burst of rain suddenly fell from the sky.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Chen Qian and smiled: "This is such a good day!"
...
The summer solstice has passed, and it will not be long before the autumnal equinox.
This year's autumn seems to be the most difficult for Ye Zhiqiu and his party. The group who left Fengyun City after the Mid-Autumn Festival couldn't relieve themselves from the summer heat while sitting in the carriage, and they all felt bored.
It was not until I changed my abandoned horse to a boat and walked on the Fuchun River that I felt a hint of coolness.
Li Xiaoxue took Shangguan Qiuming to play in the water on the bow, while Li Hongxiu and others rested in the cabin.
Lin Yueru looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked: "I don't know where Ye'er will be now? Can he return to Dongxuan Territory before it snows, or should he continue to endure another winter on Tianshan Mountain?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, pointed at Li Hongxiu and said with a smile: "You have to ask sir about this matter. When you return to the imperial city, you can ask Hongxiu to ask it for you."
Li Hongxiu looked at the two of them and laughed: "The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry, and I, the mistress, am not in a hurry. What are you two doing?"
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he couldn't help but glared at her and said with a smile, "I am Ye'er's biological mother!"
Li Hongxiu ignored her and continued: "The emperor in the imperial city is not in a hurry, and there is a little princess from the Nangong family following behind. What are the two of you in a hurry for?"
When Lin Yueru heard this, she immediately became anxious. She looked at her and asked, "Do you think Ye'er will be with the princess..."
Li Hongxiu shook his head, looked at her and replied: "First of all, that boy won't think about these things before he has perfected his skills. Second, the princess was entrusted to him by the emperor back then. He can't leave this burden behind."
Ye Zhiqiu pulled Lin Yueru's sleeve and said with a smile: "I have an extra daughter-in-law, don't you have any objection?"
Lin Yueru looked back at her and said with a smile: "As long as Wushuang follows him, I won't worry about other things."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said with a smile: "I have made the decision on this matter, so don't worry about it anymore."
Lin Pengru sighed and said with a smile: "Fortunately Ye'er listened to you, otherwise I would have been worried to death for Wushuang."
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head, pointed at Li Hongxiu and laughed: "Is there another living treasure here? In the past few days since we have been out, I don't know if Mr. Tang has..."
When Li Hongxiu heard this, she couldn't help but giggle: "That woman is too timid. I warned her on Fangcun Mountain back then. I didn't even care. How can she be so scared?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at her and sighed, and said with a smile: "There are not many women as generous as Hong Xiu in the Five Realms!"
Li Hongxiu looked at the two of them and sighed, and said quietly: "Who said I don't care? I just think about it in the blink of an eye. Our road to practice is so long. It would be too lonely if we don't even have a good friend in this life." ."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, spat at her, and said with a smile: "Are you saying that I should find a second wife for my wife?"
Li Hongxiu was stunned, looked at the two of them and laughed: "Master, I don't know, but General Shangguan can think about it."
Lin Yueru laughed angrily at her, reached out and pinched her arm, and said with a smile: "Does he dare?"
...
In the blink of an eye, autumn has passed and winter in the five regions has arrived.
After a summer of joy on the Tianshan Mountains and an autumn, the three of them faced the unbearable wind and snow weather again.
When the wind and snow tightened, the roaring sound passed through the vast Tianshan Mountains, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, and the violent and wild sounds kept ringing in a heart-stopping manner.
The world is only silent and indifferent, thousands of miles of clear and cold silver light, and the endless and dead Tianshan Mountains are like white jade, deserted to the extreme.
On a cliff with a north wind, a tent was set up inside. A warm stove was burning inside, blocking out all the cold weather in the Tianshan Mountains.
Because the tent made of animal skin has the effect of wind and temperature insulation, and the stove burns continuously, providing enough heat for the small space.
Nangong Ruyu's face was slightly red. She was squatting by the stove and watching Li Ye make soup. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was in a hurry. Xia Wutong, who had already got into his sleeping bag, popped his head out to watch. Two people.
It has been snowing for several days and the weather is getting colder and colder.
I spent less and less time walking during the day, and spent most of my time hiding in a tent to avoid the snow.
However, Li Ye wasn't too worried about these problems. He was just calculating how far away from the Tianshan Mountains in Xuanyu were.
After spending another summer and autumn, the three of them prepared an unknown amount of meat, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. In Xia Wutong's words, two more would probably be enough.
Li Ye meant that if he couldn't finish eating, he could take it back to the imperial city and distribute it to the people under the mountain. After all, the monsters on Tianshan Mountain were not easy to see, and they would be of great help to a group of practitioners.
Although he encountered some dangers during his next trip through the Tianshan Mountains, fortunately, Li Ye had the experience of living in the wild and was able to resolve them one by one.
Judging from the map Ouyang Dongli gave him, they have already crossed most of the Tianshan Mountains. If everything goes well, they can reach the Tianshan Mountains in the Dongxuan Region tomorrow spring.
This is much earlier than he expected, and he will be able to return to the imperial city in less than two years.
While simmering the broth, he turned his head slightly, looked at Nangong Ruyu next to the brazier, and said, "Is it cold?"
"When can we eat this soup?" Nangong Ruyu's face turned red. She didn't know whether it was because it was too cold or because the stove was too hot.
Li Ye smiled, stretched out his hand to get her a bowl of soup, brought it to her and said, "Be careful because it's hot and eat slowly."
"I want to eat too, junior brother, give me a bowl." As he spoke, Xia Wutong got out of the sleeping bag, sat down next to Nangong Ruyu, and looked at Li Ye as he walked forward.
There was a strong smell of meat in the small tent, which no one could stand.
"Be careful with the scalding. I'll grill two more pieces of meat later. Eat more meat today when it's cold." Li Ye handed over the soup bowl, looked at her and said, "We'll try tomorrow. If we still can't find a place to take shelter from the cold, , let’s go down.”
At this time, Li Ye and the others had climbed to a height of three thousand feet.
Firstly, he wanted to challenge the limits of his body, and secondly, he wanted to temper the will of the two girls.
If they can get used to living and practicing at an altitude of three thousand feet, then when the two girls return to the imperial city, their bodies will have greatly improved. Not to say they are as light as a swallow, but at least they will be much higher than practitioners of the same realm.
This is what my husband taught him on Tianshan Mountain.
"It looks like we have to walk another day tomorrow." Xia Wutong picked up the hot soup and took a careful sip.
Nangong Ruzhu, who had finished a bowl of soup with his head down, looked at the two of them and couldn't help but ask: "Master, you said that the thunder in the spring, was Master trying to escape the tribulation? Was he working with Xuantian Guan? Has he ascended like a master?"
Xia Wutong frowned slightly and glared at her, but said nothing.
On the other hand, Li Ye was stunned for a moment, looked at her and said with a smile: "That's right, otherwise he will come back to find us. Our route was given by your master."
Xia Wutong looked at him and said: "I think senior has suffered a lot. I almost died in front of you just because I was distracted, not to mention..."
Li Ye was silent, smiled, and said quietly: "You have only survived one thunder tribulation, and the master has already survived several thunder tribulations. Is this why you have to survive nine tribulations before you can ascend?"
Nangong Ruyu looked at him and smiled: "Then the master went to find the two masters from Xuantian Temple? There are many of them, and they can drink together."
Li Ye looked at her, was silent for a while and said, "I don't know. I don't know if he will have a new look after he is not promoted, and whether the three of them can meet again."
