The place where the Fu family breeds fish and spirit pigs is in Hehuawu, deep in Beiliang Mountain. Fu Shiyi and Brother Sixteen stayed up all night under the stars and the moon. As the sun rose, they finally arrived at Xinyi Ridge, the entrance to Hehuawu.
Fu Shiyi stood on the mountain ridge, and saw large areas of pink magnolia flowers in full bloom scattered in the morning mist on the mountain col. Fu Shiyi receives flower paste brewed from Xinyi flowers every year as an annual gift.
The Xinyi flower tree is a first-level spiritual plant. It was discovered by Fu Shiyi's father during his training sixty years ago. At that time, there were only a few or two trees, but after these years of cultivation, it has become a forest.
"I heard that the aunt who married after Uncle Thirteen makes the Xinyi flowers crispy but not greasy, and the scented tea she makes is also excellent. I've been wanting to ask for advice for a long time. Eleven, let's go down quickly."
Brother Sixteen stopped shouting that he was tired at this time and walked towards the col first with his eyes shining.
When I went down to the mountain col, I saw fresh magnolia flowers scattered all over the ground.
"It's strange. It's protected by a formation. It doesn't matter if it's windy or hailing. Why do so many petals fall off?"
Could it be that something happened?
Because the formation isolated his spiritual consciousness, Fu Shiyi could not carefully explore the situation inside, so he had to wait for Uncle Thirteen to receive the message and open the formation for them.
Not long after Fu Shiyi and the others had finished sending out the communication talisman, ripples of space flashed before their eyes, and a beautiful woman wearing a red cloak and holding a flower basket walked out of it.
"But eleventh sister and sixteenth brother?"
The beautiful woman is Liu Wanzhen, the second wife of Uncle Thirteen.
As she invited people inside, she said softly:
"A few days ago, Brother Ba sent your Thirteenth Uncle a messenger, saying that you would arrive tonight. Unexpectedly, you unexpectedly arrived half a day early. Unknown to you, your Thirteenth Uncle happened to take your Nineteenth Brother to Orchid Valley to catch the sky. Yue Hu is gone."
Liu Wanzhen pointed to the Xinyi flower petals on the ground and said sadly:
"I don't know where Tianyue Hu from Orchid Valley learned the magic, but he was able to break the Sancai Lost Tracing Formation guarding this place. Originally we wanted to keep it for you Nineteenth Brother to practice your skills on a daily basis, but now we see Come but you can’t stay.”
I see.
Fu Shiyi felt sorry for Xin Yihua who had been ruined a lot.
"Only a small piece of Xinyi flowers have fallen down on the entire mountain. Please wait for me for a moment, and then I will take you to the Lotus Wu to rest."
After Liu Wanzhen finished speaking, she kneaded her hands together, and the Xinyi flower petals scattered on the ground were put into her basket like a hundred birds returning to their nests. The basket was not big, but it could not be filled.
Liu Wanzhen was born in the Liu family of Beishan County, one of the four major families in Jingzhou.
Fifteen years ago, Uncle Thirteen and Liu Xiaoliu’s father took the family children to the edge of the Southern Wilderness for training. It is said that Uncle Thirteen saved Liu Wanzhen several times during that training. After frequent contact and back and forth, the two actually developed feelings for each other. What's even more amazing is that not only did they make love, but they also became pregnant with their 19th brother.
Although Aunt Thirteen had been making trouble for a long time.
But Liu Wanzhen finally married Uncle Thirteen. Liu Wanzhen was Liu Xiaoliu's biological aunt. He always felt that his thirteenth uncle had tricked Liu Wanzhen into marrying her with his sweet talk, so he had always had a prejudice against the Fu family.
Strange to say.
Ever since Uncle Thirteen married Liu Wanzhen, his romantic temperament suddenly changed. I don't know whether it was because he couldn't find a girl in this deep mountain forest, or because he was really won over by Liu Wanzhen.
At the foot of Xinyi Mountains is the Lotus Wu.
This is Liu Wanzhen’s new name.
The Lotus Wu was built on the Ningliu River, and the clan's Yulingzhu raised pigs on this river. Not long after Liu Wanzhen got married, she and her thirteenth uncle were stationed here. The fifty acres of spiritual lotus in this river were planted by Liu Wanzhen herself.
It is said that Liu Wanzhen begged her thirteenth uncle to get the seeds of Linghe from his old lover. After the breeding in the next year, there was Linghe in this river.
"You came at the right time. At this time of year, you can pick spirit lotus. We can pick some on the way back and make lotus seed soup for you."
The three of them jumped on the boat parked on the shore one after another. Brother Sixteen, who was paddling, almost burst out laughing when he heard this:
"Thank you, Auntie. Thanks to your blessing, Shiyi and I can taste the Linglian seeds that ripen every ten years. I heard that you make Xinyi flower cakes very well. In addition to cooked glutinous rice flour and peanuts... ..”
When talking about eating, Brother Sixteen opened his mouth and couldn't hold it back.
Fu Shiyi smiled and shook his head, looking up at the lotus flowers in the river.
I saw that the quiet lake was covered with green lotus leaves, as if filled with dense emerald umbrellas, covering the lake tightly. The graceful lotus flowers are like fairies bathing in the lake covered with light sand, standing smiling; the tender pistils are full of pearls, and the fragrance is refreshing.
Lotus Wu is located on a small island in the river.
After landing on the shore, Liu Wanzhen wanted to chat with Fu Shiyi, but Brother Sixteen couldn't wait to drag her to make lotus seed soup.
In Hehua Wu, in addition to Uncle Thirteen's family of three, there were also mortals from the Four Fang clan stationed here. Under their guidance, Fu Shiyi went to a Yunxuan Pavilion to rest.
Fu Shishi wanted to wait until he and Brother Sixteen and the others finished eating the lotus seed soup, but as soon as his body clung to the bed quilt, sleepiness immediately appeared. She had no rest for almost two days and two nights.
"When Aunt Zhen calls me to eat, just tell me to take a rest and come out again during dinner."
Fu Shiyi told Fu Yun, who was in charge of Yunxuan Pavilion, and rested peacefully.
Little did he know that the space of his sea of consciousness was undergoing tremendous changes.
"Well, it's so comfortable!"
Fu Shiyi went to bed at sunset. When he got up and stretched out, he saw a food box on the table, which contained not only lotus seed soup, but also Xinyi flower cake and Linglian lotus root and pork ribs soup. The food box is insulated, so the food is still hot.
After sleeping all day, she happened to be hungry.
Fu Shiyi washed himself briefly and then used his chopsticks.
"Hmm~, so delicious!!!"
Fu Shiyi couldn't help but exclaimed.
This aunt Zhen's cooking skills are much better than Fu Da's wife. If she could make such delicious dishes for every meal, who wouldn't like it. It seems that the folk saying "If you want to catch a man, catch his stomach first" has some truth to it.
Fu Shiyi had just finished his meal in the inner room, when Brother Sixteen came in angrily after receiving the news:
"Eleven, Aunt Thirteen is really a wonderful person. She can not only cook, but also make wine. I just tasted the yellow fruit wine she brewed. It is as diverse as the green plum spirit wine in our clan. She is also gentle. She's so amiable, no wonder Uncle Thirteen is willing to stay in this deep mountain and old forest, guarding her with all his heart."
Good guy, in less than a day, Brother Sixteen was completely impressed and changed his name to Aunt Thirteen. On weekdays, they only called her this way when they saw Uncle Thirteen getting married.
Fu Shiyi waited for Fu Yun to put the food box away before saying:
"Uncle Thirteen is back?"
They came here to pick Xuanyuan grass, so they couldn't forget about the business.
"I'm back, I'm back, I'm waiting to see you in Yunyage."
