The autumn sun shone on the yellowing countryside, and the dappled weeds swayed gently in the cool wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the gorgeous tent, five people drank tea silently, and the tea was filled with the silence of autumn.
Qing Yao's gaze drifted to Chang Ming, her cheeks were sometimes red, sometimes white, she still cared about what the princess reminded her. Changming rarely drinks tea with the princess, his hands and feet are a little restrained, holding the teacup in both hands, looking at the tea, and secretly looking at Qing Yao from the corner of his eye.
Lu Ye and Qingran's eyes never left Yu Zimo, each with a deep meaning.
Among the five people, only the princess Yu Zimo was alone, with no distractions and concentrated on drinking tea.
After all the snow water in the jar was boiled, Qing Yao put away the teacup. Several people sat in place, neither of them spoke, and maintained a peaceful atmosphere in tacit understanding.
The setting sun illuminates the distant countryside from golden to red.
It was not Lu Ye, Chang Ming, or any of the five people who were the first to break the silence in the tent. What suddenly made a sound was the bag hanging on Zi Mo's waist.
"Dirt. It wasn't loud, but it was still very clear in the silence.
Several people were thinking about their own thoughts in the silence, and the sudden sound startled them.
"Why do you say that word again? Changming wondered, can't this tip be a little fresh, "We're already thinking of a way." He said to the bag. Isn't it just for the sake of the "soil" that they are staying in this outskirts now?
The golden thread on the bag shimmered. Yu Zimo frowned and held the bag in his hand.
"Dirt. After a flash of golden light, a voice popped out of the bag.
"It is really the spiritual consciousness of the earth spirit, and the word 'earth' is said a lot and clearly. Lu also leaned closer to the princess in an interesting way.
"I think it's a problem with its brain. ”
"Does it have brains?" Lu also jokingly said.
"Not true. Yu Zimo looked at the bag, thought for a while, and said, "It should be reminding us." ”
"Remind us of what?" said Qingran, "what is going on?"
Yu Zimo frowned, walked outside the tent, picked up a few weeds on the ground outside, put them in front of him to check them, threw away the grass again, and returned to the tent and said to Changming: "Hurry up and bring people to the nearby wheat field and pull a few wheat trees." ”
At first, a few people were still a little puzzled, but they quickly understood the meaning of Yu Zimo's actions. Changming didn't dare to slack off, called two guards, and rode his horse to the wheat field.
Qingran stood up, "Could it be that there is a new problem in the land here?" Lu also let Qingran calm down and wait patiently.
They were not far from the nearest wheat field, and Changming and they soon returned, bringing back a dozen wheat plants.
Yu Zimo checked the rhizome and ears of wheat, on the surface, the rhizomes of wheat were not abnormal, and the ears of wheat were also golden and full. She gently crushed the wheat kernel with two fingers, and the husk that should have been tightly wrapped around the wheat kernel immediately fell off, and the wheat kernel inside had begun to shrink.
"How can this be?" asked Qing Ran nervously, "doesn't it mean that there are three days, how did this wheat become like this?"
Yu Zimo lowered his head and thought for a while, "I think it should be the masked man in the Mountain Temple, he told the person who made the spell water about being discovered by Changming." The other party was afraid that the matter had been revealed, so he increased the power of the curse water. ”
"What should I do then?" Qingran was anxious.
"Can this peach tree sprout sooner?" Lu also asked. Anyway, it shortened the time for him to germinate, and it shouldn't hurt to be shorter.
"Three days is the limit. Otherwise, it is tantamount to promoting the growth of seedlings. Yu Zimo said.
"Is there any other way?" asked Yu Zimo Qingran.
Yu Zimo didn't speak.
"You have a way, don't you?" asked Qingran. His burning gaze was opposite Yu Zimo's cold gaze like a clear pool.
Several other people also looked at Yu Zimo with expectant eyes.
After thinking about it, Yu Zimo avoided the gaze of several people and sighed, "There is a way to try, but I can't guarantee that it will work." ”
Several people were shocked, it seems that the princess really has a way, and hopes to have time to remedy it.
Yu Zimo asked Qing Yao to bring the wooden box on the bed.
Qing Yao brought a one-foot-square purple-red wooden box. Yu Zimo opened the wooden box, and several people looked into the wooden box and were taken aback.
The wooden box contained a dozen ordinary willow branches. The broken branches of the tree are tilted, as if someone had randomly cut them off and placed them inside.
"What, do you know what this is?" Changming looked at the expressions of the three people around him, it was obviously just a box of branches, but their expressions were not like more than just seeing branches, it seemed that they had all seen the contents of the box before.
"I don't know," Lu also said to Chang Ming, but his gaze moved between Qingran and Yu Zimo, "I've just seen someone injured by a similar branch. ”
Qingran clearly remembered that in Yangliu Town before, Yu Zimo used these branches to save him. Also present at that time were Qing Yao and a beautiful child.
"These branches princess still remains?" Qing Yao said. These were picked up by the princess along the way and played with Yu'er, and after sending Yu'er to Jingshan, she thought that these had already been thrown away by the princess. I didn't expect the princess to put them away so formally.
Yu Zimo stroked the branches in the box with his fingers, his eyes full of love. "It's really reluctant. Don't let me catch this troublemaker, I will use so many treasures, I must skin him. ”
Everyone was very strange when they saw Yu Zimo's reluctance to give up on a box of branches. But since she took out a peach pit so well, presumably these branches must have their magic.
Qingran knew from Yu Zimo's eyes that this must be the love of her heart, no matter why she was so affectionate to the branches, let her cut her love, she still couldn't bear it in her heart, but it was a matter of human life, a little later, the people and them would have no food to eat, and he still had to urge her.
After stroking the branches, Yu Zimo held the wooden box containing the branches in one hand, and opened the five fingers of the other hand and probed into the box. The twigs in the box were just caught between her fingers. She picked up the branch in the box with one hand and shook it. Her expression was the same as when she had just stroked the branch. The branches were arranged in a circle at breakneck speed, digging into the dirt beneath her feet. And the middle of the circle is where she planted the peach pit.
Lu also clapped his hands on the side, "The princess is very skilled." As soon as he slapped it twice, he felt his feet shake and he held on to the table. The others also felt the ground shake beneath their feet.
Changming and the others couldn't help but be shocked, from the time they were born to the present, they had never encountered the trembling of the earth, and they were a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid. Yu Zimo said calmly, this is the underground peach pit that is about to sprout.
"What kind of peach pit is this, it takes such a big move to sprout. ”
"It stands to reason that the movement should not be so big," Yu Zimo said, "It is probably because of the addition of those branches." ”
"What kind of branches are those?"
"There's nothing special about the branches, but they have a certain amount of pure power attached to them,...... You don't understand it too much, so wait and see. The corners of Yu Zimo's mouth rose, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and there was a hint of excitement in his expression.
After a while, the ground beneath their feet trembled again, this time more violently than the last. The surrounding guards also panicked, their faces turned pale, and they all ran to Yu Zimo's tent. The earth trembles, and it is the wrath of the gods.
"Don't be nervous, stand behind me first. Yu Zimo ordered. The guards were still terrified, and stood tremblingly behind the princess.
When the last corner of the sunset disappeared on the horizon, the earth under Yu Zimo's feet trembled for the third time, and with the tremor of the earth, a dazzling peach tree broke through the ground.
When everyone behind him was dumbfounded, the corners of Yu Zimo's mouth were upturned, like the most brilliant peach blossoms blooming on the tree.
