Chapter Forty-Seven: Descending the Mountain
"yes, let's all calm down and see what we should do next to keep this matter under control and not spread the word. If the young master knows about this, he will have to confine you for a few days, and even the old lady will not be able to save you. Uncle Wen didn't agree with Hu Lingling, so he couldn't hold his breath and ran to confront people now.
Hu Lingling had just woken up, and the abilities he had used up yesterday had not fully recovered, and he was exhausted. She also wanted to confront the two of them on the spur of the moment. And under the persuasion of He Lei and Uncle Wen, her feverish mind gradually calmed down and began to think about ways to solve the problem.
She is not a novice who doesn't know anything, and understands that the top priority now is not to settle accounts with Qiu Lin or Xing Lu, but to try her best to minimize the impact of the incident last evening and restore the prestige of the Hu family as much as possible.
As for the reason why he did that last evening, He Lei has already explained it to everyone, and everyone understands it. But she knows very well that most people are just taking it at face value. If you can't give them a convincing explanation, even if they don't say anything in person, they won't have any positive comments about the Hu family and her Hu Lingling behind their backs.
This is simply a time bomb for the prestige of the Hu family, and no one knows that one day, this matter will be spread to everyone beyond recognition. And the consequences of the big trouble, I'm afraid that none of the people here can afford it.
After sorting out these clearly, several people discussed and formulated a public relations plan, and then we need to see how Hu Lingling performs.
Accompanied by He Lei, she first came to the place where she had a conflict with everyone yesterday, found the people who were forcibly exchanged by her yesterday, returned the Zihuang Mang she forcibly took away, and sincerely apologized to those people.
found the person who was almost killed by her yesterday, and sent a crystal nucleus of compensation again. Hu Lingling also apologized to him with tears in his eyes, and blamed all the faults he had made on being poisoned.
She looks very good, bright and gorgeous, and at this moment, the pear blossom with rain and Chu Chuchu's pitiful appearance is even more pitiful. made the rough man in front of him, who was over thirty years old and still hadn't married a wife, and the people around him who were watching the excitement instantly softened their hearts, how could they be willing to blame her. Everyone reassured her, and said that the matter would end here, and no one would mention it to anyone outside in the future.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Hu Lingling said goodbye to everyone and returned to the tent with his swollen eyes that were already crying. By carefully applying a homemade mask made from red wine, honey and pearl powder to her face, she wants to keep herself in top shape at all times and at all times, always being on top of everyone when she appears.
Lying on the bed, the corners of her mouth, which was slightly stiff due to the mask, curled slightly: Heh, Qiu Lin, Xing Lu, it's best not to let me know which one of you it is, or the two of you in partnership, don't let me find evidence, since you can have the courage to calculate me, you must be prepared to be countercalculated by me in the future.
She will not easily rule out her suspicion just because she is close to Qiu Lin during this time, she knows people and faces, but she doesn't know her heart, and no one knows if there is a sinister and cunning heart hidden under her approachable appearance. Aren't the people around you used to doing this?
~~~~~~
stayed leisurely in the mountains for a day and two nights, Xing Lu changed her tricks to make food for several people at every meal, which provoked Luo Qi and Chu Xiran Xiaohua to eat every time they ate, and they were amazed.
Although the others are a little reserved, they also eat all the meals every time. As a chef, Xing Lu feels a huge sense of satisfaction every time she looks at the bare plates on the table. Is there anything more gratifying than being recognized for your hard work?
Every time she cooks, she will deliberately set aside one or two for Qiu Lin to send over. Although the two are no longer as close as before, she feels Qiu Lin's real heartfelt concern that is different from before. She used to be so good to herself, but she felt that she had never taken herself seriously. And now, she can take the initiative to think about herself and respect herself. She was so kind to herself, and of course she had to reciprocate the same kindness.
I don't know why Han Yifeng is so impatient, and after making sure that Hu Lingling is fine, he proposed to He Lei to set off as soon as possible.
Several of them were too injured to exercise vigorously, so they were supposed to spend a few days in the mountains before walking. And Han Yifeng asked to go down the mountain as soon as possible, so when he left, those who could walk alone were supported by his less injured companions in the team, and a few seriously injured and unable to move could only be carried down the mountain on a simple stretcher, which was tantamount to increasing the difficulty of everyone going down the mountain safely.
Fortunately, the way down the mountain is directly in front of Yunjin Mountain, and the stone road is wider than the one going up the mountain. In addition to the mutant grass that blocked the way, there were only a few herbivorous mutant beasts that didn't have long eyes coming out, and they were easily killed by the ability person in charge of opening the way.
The mutant trees on both sides of the road also came out to join in the fun, especially the mutant pine tree, which would throw the thorns of the person every time someone passed in front of it. However, this mutant pine tree is like the guardian of this stone road, and it is its presence all the way, although it will not cause great damage, but it still makes everyone tired.
"Damn, why are there so many pine trees on the way down the mountain, aren't we all low bushes when we go up the mountain?
"It's not that the 'face project' is causing trouble, haven't you noticed that this mutant pine tree is just more on both sides of the road, so it looks more imposing, as for the mountain, there are still more bushes. ”
When everyone stumbled all the way to the foot of the mountain, everyone was so tired that they sat down on the small square at the foot of Yunjin Mountain.
He Lei told everyone to stay in place and rest until tomorrow before leaving. When Han Yifeng heard it, he didn't say anything and acquiesced. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, for fear that he would not agree again, and they had to hurry up. After all, it is not muddy, and everyone who went down the mountain with injuries has already reached the limit.
Although it has long been dilapidated, you can still see the grandeur of the pre-cataclysm. The flat and spacious open space is paved with neat marble, and in the middle of the square there is a huge lotus-shaped fountain pipe.
There are still pavilions built by the government on the square for tourists to perch and settle down when they are tired. There are a series of supporting facilities built around the square, such as hotels, playgrounds, restaurants, tea rooms, clubhouses, etc. Unfortunately, they have been abandoned for a long time, and they can only be deduced from the faintly recognizable words on the glittering golden signs.
In the southwest corner of the small square, there is a small pond with a few small boats floating on it, which is supposed to have been used by tourists for fun.
At the edge of the pond, a neat waterscape embankment has been built, and a one-meter-high guardrail encloses the entire perimeter of the pond. Dozens of stone benches are scattered around the pond, where visitors can sit and enjoy the scenery on the water.
The noon sun is shining, shining on the water, reflecting a dazzling light, the person who sees can't open his eyes, and then closes it suddenly, the eyes are first black, and then there are colorful colors gradually emerging, and finally the colorful colors slowly fall silent, leaving only a touch of fiery red in front of them.
At the close end of the railing, there are lotus flowers growing there. Between the layers of huge lotus leaves, scattered with pure white or pink or blooming flowers or budding flowers, ignoring its body several times larger than before the cataclysm, it is also a rare beauty.
As soon as the wind blows, the lotus leaves far away from the water surface dance with the lotus flowers, and the fragrance of the lotus flowers wafts into the nose, and the heart is relaxed and happy.
