Chapter 217 Choosing a Gift
"My name is Lan Ling. The breeze blew, and Lan Ling waved goodbye to the two siblings. "See you next time~~"
"Goodbye......" Hong Xiu Yingxue brother and sister, and the two waved goodbye to Lan Ling.
Looking at Lan Ling's distant back, Hong Xiu stood in place for a long time, his heart was beating extremely fast, and he was full of warmth! Unconsciously began to look forward to the next encounter.
"Brother...... brother, what's wrong with you...... brother?" Ying Xue dragged Hong Xiu's arm and shook it a few times.
"Ah...... oh, it's okay, let's go in!" Hong Xiu turned around, his eyes still falling on Lan Ling's distant back.
Lan Ling also quickly returned to Shizuka's mansion, recalling a series of scenes when he met the two brothers and sisters during the day, as well as the incomparably delicious roast chicken, and met new friends during the mortal trip, Lan Ling felt happy when he thought about it, this day was very happy, after all, he ate other people's roast chicken, Lan Ling thought, if he went to find the two brothers and sisters next time, he must bring them some gifts.
Lan Ling stayed alone in the house for two days, what should be watched, what should be played, there is no freshness, I really feel lonely and bored, I thought: "There was no accident when I went out last time, as long as I am cautious and careful, and do not use the immortal method indiscriminately, there will be nothing wrong, then I will go to the street again, Shizuka is a god, I am going to do serious things, not wandering." Lan Ling comforted herself, feeling that nothing would happen when she went out. "Let's go, let's go and see what new things I haven't seen before!"
Lan Ling thought like this, and boldly went out again, completely ignoring Shizuka's entrustment.
People come and go on the street, cars and horses are like dragons, Lan Ling learned from Shizuka's appearance and transformed some coins, bought delicious sugar gourds on the street, his eyebrows danced, and he walked around while eating. As I walked, I was attracted by a shop, and there was an endless stream of people coming in and out.
Looking up, the three big characters of 'Vipin Xuan' stood in front of him, "Hey, could it be that there are some novelties here?"
This 'Vipshop Xuan', the first floor looks like a very ordinary shop, but the second floor is a secret site set up by the bird clan in the mortal world, specializing in providing all kinds of information and contact information.
As soon as Lan Ling walked to the door, the boss greeted him warmly.
"Girl, please come in, our store is full of novelties from all over the place, there are few on the market, and the price is fair, girl, take a look and see if there is anything you like!
"Okay, I'll take a look first!" Lan Ling replied, pacing through the door.
When Lan Ling walked into the store, the boss noticed that this girl was not an ordinary mortal, and there seemed to be a wisp of bird breath on her body, but she had never seen it, and this breath was also very unfamiliar. The boss did not dare to make a decision, and for the sake of prudence, he decided that it was better to report first.
"Come here. The boss waved his hand and beckoned a guy over. "Keep an eye on this girl, watch her every move, be careful, I'll come when I go!"
"Yes, boss!" the man agreed softly.
The boss whispered to the guy in the shop, and then went upstairs.
Lan Ling didn't notice the strangeness of the boss and his buddy, and continued to wander around the store, there are indeed a lot of novelties here, and they are very different from the ones on the market outside.
"Wing King, there is a girl downstairs, who has the breath of our bird clan on her body, but she has never seen it in the clan! This aura is a little different!" The boss went upstairs to report the situation to You Jing.
"Oh, a girl, what did you say, what did you look like?"
"That's not true, just come in and see the novelty, nothing else!"
"Oh, that's okay, our bird clan is outcast, and there are not a few who don't live in the tribal territory, the breath on the body will naturally be different, maybe it's just a coincidence, you continue to star, if there is no change, you don't have to startle the snake, wait for her to finish reading, and leave on her own!" You Jing didn't care about this matter, and his mind was all about looking for the body of the Earth Shatter Mirror Fan.
"Yes! Wing King" The boss listened to You Jing's order and continued to go downstairs to greet Lan Ling, like greeting other customers, without revealing the slightest flaw.
Lan Ling carefully selected, bought a small wooden windmill with a very delicate wood, and a beautiful green jade pendant, and after paying the bill, he left satisfied. Walking on the street, I took it out from time to time, looking at these two exquisite gifts, which were very satisfying, and I thought that the two brothers and sisters of Hongxiu would like it when they saw it.
You Jing was on the second floor of the store, standing by the window, and saw Lin Lan leaving, You Jing suddenly felt that this back was familiar, like her sister You Ruo when she was young, and she also sighed that time was gone.
"You say, if my sister and father were still here, what kind of scene would the bird clan be like now!" You Jing said softly, as if asking the maid next to him, but his voice was very small and sad.
"Wing King, don't indulge too much in the past, this is a long time ago......" The maid next to her spoke to persuade, she had followed You Jing for tens of thousands of years, and knew her temperament very well.
You Jing didn't speak again, her expression was sad, looking into the distance, how happy and innocent she was before, since her sister and father left, she had no joy, she was immersed in hatred all day long and couldn't extricate herself, as if she was a different person.
"Tell the people below to do their best, the negligence of the last action has been discovered by the Celestial Clan, now it is really not appropriate to have too many frontal conflicts, it is really a pity to stop, I can only continue to investigate, in order to avenge my sister and father, I can pay any price, if the situation is really bad, I will not even hesitate to be a head-on enemy with the Celestial Clan!
"Don't worry, King Yi, I have already ordered it, it was just an accident last time, and that kind of negligence will definitely not happen again!, but now the Celestial Clan has sent a large number of heavenly soldiers to search the mortal world, which has also brought a lot of obstacles to our actions. The maid next to him said.
"The Celestial Clan is already suspicious of our Bird Clan, and now we can only act at the opportunity, without enough evidence, the Heavenly Emperor can't help us!
"Yes, Winged King, I will give orders, please rest assured!"
At this time, Lan Ling was full of joy, took the gift, and prepared to go to the thatched house to find the two brothers and sisters of Hongxiu Yingxue.
The thatched hut was remote, and it was inconvenient to use the immortal method, so Lan Ling walked for a long time before arriving. I don't feel that I sigh, mortals are really hard.
"Hongxiu ~ Sister Yingxue, I'm coming to see you!" Lan Ling arrived at the courtyard and didn't enter the house, just stood in the courtyard and called loudly.
After a while, no one answered, Lan Ling felt strange, so he went straight into the hut to see, looked around, and there was no one around. "These two people, what are you doing!"
This time I came again to see carefully, the furnishings in this wool house seem simple, and only after a closer look can I know that they are very unusual, simple and luxurious, not like the ordinary mountain villagers, Lan Ling picked up the exquisite candlestick on the cabinet and enjoyed it. "Wow~ The totem on this side is very chic, tasteful!"
After a while, he heard a slight noise in the courtyard, and Lan Ling put down the candlestick and walked out the door. At a glance, it turned out that the two siblings of Hongxiu Yingxue had returned.
"Beautiful sister, when did you come!" Ying Xue saw Lan Ling and happily ran to Lan Ling's side. "My brother and I went to pick wild fruits and fly kites, sister, look, look, we picked a lot!" Saying that, Yingxue pulled Lan Ling and walked towards Hongxiu, Hongxiu saw Lan Ling smiling sweetly, put down the bamboo basket in his hand, and sure enough, the red fruit was half a basket.
"When did you come?" Putting down the bamboo basket, Hongxiu looked at Lan Ling in front of him, and saw each other again, with an indescribable joy.
"I had just arrived, and when I saw that there was no one in the courtyard, I went into the house and looked around, and you came back. I ate your roast chicken last time, and I can't forget it, hahahaha......" Lan Ling joked with Hong Xiu, without any restraint, Lan Ling's character is like this.
"Hahahaha! If you want to eat roast chicken, I'll make it for you! With that, Hong Xiu prepared to go into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
"Hahaha, okay, I can't ask for it!" Lan Ling's second contact with his brother and sister didn't feel strange at all, like an old friend who had known each other for a long time.
"It's good, it's good! I also like to eat my brother's roast chicken the most! Second brother, let's do it!" Yingxue jumped up happily. "Sister, let's go wash some fruit, this fruit is rare, it tastes sweet, sister, you are really lucky, let's eat together!"
"Okay, I'll wash it, you help!" Lan Ling treated Yingxue like his sister.
Hong Xiu was busy in the kitchen, looking at the warm scene of Yingxue and Lan Ling eating fruit together in the yard, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and he wanted time to stop like this.
"Yingxue~ Is it just you and your brother living here?" Lan Ling said.
"Yes, in fact, our home is not here, my brother likes the hut here very much, and often comes here to live here for a while, this time I begged my brother to bring me here! "There are a lot of people in my family, and there are a lot of people who manage me, and I am very uncomfortable, only my brother is the best for me......!
"I also think your brother is very good to you, so where is your home?" Lan Ling continued.
"Well...... it's only three days away from here! To be honest, I don't want to be at home, I'm uncomfortable, and I have to follow the rules, and I only know how to nod and bow down, and it's very boring!" Yingxue pouted, looking not so happy.
"Like me, I don't like to stay at home all day, my father takes care of me and doesn't want me to go out, but I have an older brother and a sister, and they are also very good to me......!
"I still like it here, it's simple, no one restricts it!" Although Yingxue is small, she is rarely mature when she speaks.
"I like it too!" Lan Ling said.
"Hahaha!" swept away the troubles, and the two talked and laughed.
"The delicious roast chicken is ready! who wants to taste it first!" Hongxiu came from the kitchen with a big plate.
"It's so fragrant~It's so fragrant~" Ying Xue Lanling sighed at the same time.
"Sister, do you know how difficult it is to be able to eat my brother's cooking, I used to have such a good treatment, and others couldn't ask for it, but now, my sister also has a mouthful!
"Yes, then I really have to cherish it!As a token of gratitude, I specially brought a gift!" Lan Ling took out a delicate little windmill and gave it to Yingxue.
"Wow~ It's so good-looking, I like it so much, thank you sister!" Yingxue was very happy when she saw the gift, no matter what kind of identity it is, the happiness of a child is so simple.
Lan Ling took out another piece of exquisite jade pendant and gave it to Hongxiu.
"Since I met your brothers and sisters for the first time, I feel cordial, we can meet, it is also a kind of fate, this is a gift I specially chose for you, I hope you can like it!"
Hongxiu took the jade pendant and held it in his hand, sweet in his heart. "Thank you, Miss Lan Ling, I will definitely collect it carefully. Hongxiu's face was full of happiness.
In the mortal world, only affectionate men and women will send jade pendants to each other to express their expressions. Hong Xiu misunderstood that Lan Ling had special feelings for him. There was another touch of sunshine on Junlang's face.
But the stupid Lan Ling didn't think much about it. Where does Lan Ling know so much, she has no heart and no lungs, in her heart, she just chose a gift that she likes to give to her friends.
"Move quickly, it's not delicious to get cold for a while!" Hong Xiu carefully took the jade pendant to his chest and centrifuged it closer.
"Well, let's eat quickly, brother, you work hardest, this is for you!" It can be seen that Yingxue has a very deep affection for her brother.
"Sister, do you know how to fly a kite? Last time I saw that you were very interested in kites, after eating in a while, let's fly kites together!"
"Okay, okay, I've never let it go before, you have to teach me!" Speaking of kite flying, it aroused Lan Ling's interest.
"Of course you can!Hey, hey, hey, I was taught by my brother to fly a kite, and my brother always taught me, being a man and doing things the same as flying a kite, it seems to be out of reach, but the line is in my own hands, one loose and one tight, one relaxed, all of them are very knowledgeable" Yingxue said with her little head up.
The three of them sat around the table like a family, angry and warm.
Everyone ate very happily, and after a good meal, Yingxue began to teach Lan Ling to fly a kite, and Lan Ling, who was inconvenient to use the fairy method, looked clumsy and cute.
The blue sky, the butterfly-shaped kites rise and fall, and there is laughter.
Hong Xiu sat on the side, thoughtful, he knew that such a beautiful scene would not last long, he was going to take his sister away, and he didn't know if he would be able to see Lan Ling again in the future, due to various inconvenient reasons, Hong Xiu seemed to have a lot of secrets, unspeakable, there was expectation in his heart, there was reluctance, and there was nostalgia......
Xuan Mo was very busy in the Heavenly Palace, and the Emperor gradually handed over part of the military power back to Xuan Mo. After leaving the past thousands of years, the military discipline of the military has undergone a lot of changes, and if you want to quickly rectify and capture the heart of the army, you have to waste some effort, plus the continuous visitors to Haoxi Palace, Xuan Mo has to bother to deal with it.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, take a sip of tea and rest for a while, I haven't closed my eyes for a day and a night!
"It's all this hour?" Xuan Mo tightened his eyes and put down the scroll in his hand. "You're really tired of saying that," he said, picking up the teacup and taking a sip. I unconsciously recalled the scene when Lan Ling was there, knocking over the teacup with hairy hands and feet, and hurriedly admitting his mistake while wiping it in a panic. Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face. "This idiot! hairy ......" Xuan Mo whispered, the voice so small that only he could hear it.
"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince......" Ke Rong looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was smiling in a daze in front of her, and it seemed to be a little different from before.
"Huh, what did you say?" Xuan Mo came back to his senses.
"Your Highness, what are you laughing at? I have always felt that you seem to be a little different now than before!"
"Is it? What's the difference, I didn't notice it?" Xuan Mo looked down at himself left and right.
"I think you're smiling more than before, don't you think you think about it, and you're always stunned! What are you thinking?"
"Yes, cough cough cough cough...... it's nothing, has there been a change? I've always been like this!" Xuan Mo said and stood up and walked to the door, wanting to breathe in the fresh air and relieve the awkward atmosphere.
"Your Highness, this is the body-tonifying pill that Lan Ling prepared for you before, you have worked so hard in the past few days, take one!" Ke Rong handed Xuan Mo a small porcelain bottle, which was the one that Lan Ling used to use before.
Xuan Mo took the porcelain vase, looked at it, and held it in his hand. "In the past, she always urged me to take medicine, but I felt very annoyed at the time!"
"Lan Ling is gone, our Haoxi Palace is a lot deserted, I always feel that the twitter is very noisy when I am there, this time I am gone, it is deserted, I really feel very uncomfortable, Your Highness, do you know how Lan Ling is now? I really miss her a little" Ke Rong thought about Lan Ling a little, and asked Xuan Mo.
"I don't know, I visited Youle Shangxian, but I went to the peach forest once, but I only know that she didn't go back to the peach forest at that time!"
"Didn't go back to the peach forest?So where can this girl go? Oh, by the way, I heard the guards say that on the day Lan Ling left, it was Shizuka who sent it herself! Where can she go?"
"Shizuka sent Lan Ling away, Ke Rong, I have something to go out!" Saying that, Xuan Mo hurriedly left Haoxi Palace and went in the direction of Yaoxiang Palace.
Ke Rong still stood in place stunned.
After a while, Xuan Mo arrived at Yaoxiang Palace. At this time, Shizuka is personally sorting out the new flowers and plants in the garden, you must know that he is very attentive to these.
"Your Highness, why are you here!" Shizuka was overjoyed when she saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come down, and quickly got up and stepped forward to greet her.
"Where is Lan Ling?" With the relationship between Xuan Mo and Shizuka, there is no need to beat around the bush when they talk to each other.
"Lan Ling, didn't Lan Ling go back to the Peach Forest, why did His Highness ask that?" Shizuka's eyes flickered, and she said a little weakly.
"I've been there, she's not in the peach forest at all!" Xuan Mo said bluntly.
"What? didn't go back to the peach forest? she ......I really don't know!" Shizuka raised her eyes to look at Xuan Mo, she didn't dare to look at Xuan Mo's eyes, and finally her heart was weak, knowing that she really couldn't deceive. I had to tell the truth.
"Hey, let's be honest! Lan Ling, here, mortal!"
Xuan Mo's eyes swept away, and Shizuka unconsciously fought a cold war.
"Oh! I know, it's my fault that I took it upon myself to hide Lan Ling, but that Beihai Fengmao is blocking the door of the peach forest every day, Lan Ling is not easy to refuse, and he can't agree, there is really no way, and there is no place to hide, so I made this decision!" Xuan Mo's look was enough for Shizuka to explain everything.
"Your Highness, you seem to be a little different today? This is not at all like what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could do before, he actually cares about a palace lady, Your Highness, you are the most nosy, who doesn't know who doesn't know, how can you be so concerned about Lan Ling's affairs now?" Shizuka changed the topic, and he also saw the change in Xuan Mo.
"This! After all, it's Youle's daughter, so I'll ask more!" Xuan Mo covered up for himself, for fear that Shizuka's gossipy character would go out and talk nonsense again.
"Oh, just because of this?" Shizuka was so smart, how could she not see that Xuan Mo was nervous at this time.
"Yes, it's not because of this, but what else?", "Okay, now that I know her whereabouts, let her go back to the peach forest, and I can give Youle an explanation!" Xuan Mo said.
"Don't, Your Highness, I promised Lan Ling, don't tell others, you go and tell Youle, isn't that just betraying me together, when Lan Ling is captured by his father and returned to the peach forest, won't it be ...... me to become the culprit! Lan Ling will definitely be angry with me! I can't do such a thing! That's too unrighteous!" Shizuka hurriedly dissuaded Xuan Mo.
"It's okay if you don't say it, but you have to promise me that you will ensure her safety!" Xuan Mo became serious.
"That's natural, as soon as the limelight passes, I will immediately send Lan Ling back to the peach forest and give Youle an explanation! Your Highness rest assured! Your Highness, please rest assured!"
"Okay, go back to the peach forest and be careful to avoid that Beihai Fengmao, do you know!" Xuan Mo specially advised.
"Oh, oh, oh, I see! Please rest assured, Your Highness!" Shizuka hurriedly agreed.
Knowing Lan Ling's whereabouts, Xuan Mo was relieved a lot and returned to his Haoxi Palace.
At night, Xuan Mo finished his official duties, stretched his muscles, and felt a lot more comfortable. Thinking that at this time, the mortal world happened to be just getting dark, what was Lan Ling doing, and he couldn't help but think about it, so he was ready to go to the mortal world to have a look, Shizuka's residence in the mortal world, Xuan Mo knew.
said that it was too late, and then quickly, Xuan Mo used a stealth technique and came to the mansion of Shizuka in the mortal world.
At this time, Lan Ling was bored, and he happened to find a book pavilion in Shizuka's garden, so he went in to see what interesting ancient books there were.
When I walked in, I was amazed. "I can't see it, but there are a lot of books collected by the gods of Shizuka. Lan Ling casually flipped up on the shelf. "Yes, there are also folk medical books, just check if there are any good methods in this folk that can cure His Royal Highness the Prince's cold disease!
With the goal in mind, Lan Ling rummaged more seriously. "Hey, it's a pity that there are so many books, why is there so much dust on them, if Mu Yu is here, he will definitely sigh again! Oops, it's too dirty!" Lan Ling rummaged through, and finally held a dozen books in his hand, sat down at the low table in the middle, and looked at it seriously.
Xuan Mo was hidden next to Lan Ling, and with Lan Ling's spiritual power cultivation, he couldn't understand Xuan Mo's spells at all.
Xuan Mo looked at it like this, his face was full of spoiling, knowing that Lan Ling cared about him and was still reading medical books for his condition, Xuan Mo's heart was warm, thinking that even if it was inconvenient to disclose his feelings for Lan Ling, it would not be a good thing to be safe and quiet like this. Xuan Mo was also a little relieved.
Lan Ling watched for a long time, and Xuan Mo guarded it for a long time. Unconsciously, Lan Ling became drowsy, and the whole person didn't listen to the call, leaned forward and nodded, dozing off again and again, and suddenly straightened up, endured sleepiness, and continued to check the book, repeating it so many times, the funny Xuan Mo almost didn't laugh out loud.
Xuan Mo really couldn't bear to look at it, and finally cast a spell, this time Lan Ling fell asleep completely, sleeping quietly and sweetly.
"If you're so sleepy, just sleep in peace, what are you doing with it! Xuan Mo looked at Lan Ling with distressed eyes. "Don't worry too much about my condition, I've recovered most of the time, and I can't be in a hurry, I will have time in the future, and then I will take a slow look!" Xuan Mo helped Lan Ling, who was asleep, and laid it flat so that she could lie down more comfortably. waved his hand to extinguish the candles in the house, looked at Lan Ling quietly, and saw that she was sleeping very deeply, Xuan Mo turned around and left without staying long.
