18. Chapter XVII
"Sister-in-law......"
Seeing Lan Yi slowly open his eyes in my arms, I was so excited that tears were about to fall.
Lan Yi's rolling eyes gradually turned back to their normal position, he stared at my reddened eyes, and smiled angrily: "Sister-in-law, if you work harder." At this time, Ah Yi has become the thing you fear the most. ”
"You're almost warped, and you can still laugh!" I said and stretched out my hand to Lan Yi, "Little uncle, you can beat me." I almost killed you. ”
Lan Yi lowered his head and looked at my calloused fat hands with deep eyes: "Sister-in-law, you are unintentional, not to mention life and death." Ah Yi doesn't blame her sister-in-law. ”
The little uncle is skinny, is he worried that he will be the one who will be injured by a slap?
Although I am above 10,000 people in my daughter country, I have never harmed people's lives, at most I make people kneel durian. But just now, I almost killed my relatives!
My heart was filled with deep guilt, and I withdrew my hand and said, "Little uncle, if you don't want to beat me, you can scold me!" I promise not to fight back! ”
Lan Yi stared at my face and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
This laughter...... It's really seductive!
Lan Yi broke away from my embrace without a trace: "Sister-in-law, let's continue on our way." ”
"No way!" I said righteously: "You haven't scolded me yet, how can you continue to hurry." ”
Seeing that if he didn't scold, I wouldn't leave, Lan Yi sighed helplessly: "Sister-in-law, you are the most special woman Ah Yi has ever seen." Although the singing is incomplete, it is better than the voice to be loud enough. Although there is no talent for painting, it is better than perseverance. Although I don't know the essentials of growing tea, I have enough strength to win it......"
"Enough!" I interrupted Lan Yi's words, and instead got out of the carriage in a huff, "Little uncle, let's continue on our way!" ”
The morning fog cleared and the sun shone brightly.
After dawn, the yang qi is heavy, and it should be ...... There will be no ghosts hitting the wall!
With the words of Yugo in my mouth, I shuddered and continued to drive away chasing the sun in the east.
This princess doesn't believe that she will encounter dirty things in broad daylight.
Half an hour later.
Under the scorching sun, the crows chirped, and the willows lay on the ground.
"Little ...... Uncle ...... "There are ghosts!"
Before I could scream, a ray of warmth came from the palm of my trembling hand. Lan Yi's soft voice sounded beside me: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. Ah Yi is here. This is not a ghost hitting the wall, but because the fragrance of the pokfell flower affects the sister-in-law's judgment of the direction. ”
"Floral scent of pommeros?"
Although I don't read much, I know a lot of flower names, but I've never heard of the poklam.
Seeing that my eyes were dazed, Lan Yi held my hand and explained, "Sister-in-law, the pokrose is extremely harsh because of its growing conditions. It will only grow on the red mud of some deep mountains in the Jiang country. ”
"Oh." It turned out to be a flower unique to Jiang Country, no wonder I had never heard of it. I was stunned and said, "Little uncle, since the fragrance of floating roses can affect people's judgment of direction. Wouldn't there be a lot of people stuck on this trail because of this? ”
Hearing this, Lan Yi looked at the blazing sun in the sky and said, "This road is called Soul Breaking Road. If someone in Holly Town were to go to Pheasant Mountain, they wouldn't choose this route. ”
Broken Soul Road?!
"Little uncle, since you know that there is a problem with this road. Then why did you choose this road with no return? ”
Seeing that I was so excited that the green tendons on my forehead jumped, Lan Yi hurriedly explained: "The road to Pheasant Mountain takes three days, and if you go to Black Wind Village from this road, it will only take half a day. ”
Little uncle, do you have baked cakes in your head? I twitched the corner of my mouth: "If you can arrive in half a day, who will be idle and have a crotch ache and drive around the road for three days." Since our judgment is influenced by the scent of pok. Don't wait for the flowers, let's not talk about going to Pheasant Mountain, even this trail can't be walked. I paused and asked, "Little uncle, do you know how long this pomesa blooms?" ”
When I heard Lan Yi's next answer, if it weren't for the guilt I felt because I almost killed Lan Yi before, I ...... I want to kill him!
I only heard Lan Yi say: "The floating carrot blooms all year round and is undefeated. ”
If I'm stuck here all year round, how do I complete the other eleven tasks that I have been assigned to me! When will I be able to go back to the braised pigeon in Wuweiju!
Seeing that I frowned, Lan Yi said, "Sister-in-law is worried about the eldest brother?" Although this floral fragrance of floating dill can affect the judgment of direction. But Ah Yi has a way to get out of here. ”
My frowning brows loosened slightly, and then frowned again: "Little uncle! If you have a way, why not say it sooner! It makes me think that I will never be able to eat the braised pigeon of Wuweiju again......"
"Sister-in-law......" Lan Yi wanted to speak and stopped: "When my sister-in-law was driving, Ah Yi reminded my sister-in-law. It's just that my sister-in-law has been talking to herself and hasn't heard what Ah Yi said. ”
“……”
Lan Yi said that the fragrance of floating dill flowers will affect people's judgment of direction, making them go around in circles on this soul-breaking road. But if you give up the path that your subconscious feels is right when you encounter a fork in the road, and choose the path that you feel wrong in your heart, you can get out of this strange circle.
Sure enough, it turned out that Lan Yi's head was not filled with Lan family baked cakes.
Half an hour later, what appeared before me was a mountain full of white flowers, and the willow that had made me so sad had finally withdrawn from the princess's world.
That's what it is...... Floating carrots?
The white flowers that cover the mountains are like the snow covering the mountains, which is beautiful, and the fragrance diffused in the air is even more refreshing.
It is the fragrance of the meat!
I sniffed the smell of meat, looked up at the wooden house built on the top of the hill and said, "Little uncle, there is meat, there is a family!" ”
Frightened by the strange aura created by the roses, I have completely forgotten that I want to catch wild game to eat since the middle of the night yesterday. Now I smell the smell of meat, and a belly like a drum pierces the sky. I looked at Lan Yi, who was lifting the curtain and looking at me, embarrassedly and said, "Little uncle, I don't have the strength to raise the whip, why don't we go for a meal and then hurry?" ”
Seeing that Lan Yi turned to look at the small wooden house with wisps of cooking smoke and was silent, worried that Lan Yi would directly let me eat the baked cakes, I dragged Lan Yi straight out of the carriage: "Little uncle, anyway, I will be able to arrive at Heifeng Village in half a day." Rubbing a meal, at most delaying the time of half a stick of incense. Lan Pei waited for half a stick of incense in Heifeng Village and would not lose a piece of meat. Uncle go quickly, there is meat beckoning to us! ”
"Anyone?" I took Lan Yi's hand and ran to the front of the wooden house.
After a while, no one answered, except for the sound of pots and pans coming from inside the house.
"Anyone?" I yelled at the top of my voice.
Anyone......
The empty mountaintop echoed with my loud and powerful roar.
At the same time, the old wooden door creaked open, and a silver-haired old woman slowly pushed the door away: "Old man, are you back?" ”
Old man?
I'm not the right gender, and my uncle isn't old enough.
I said, "Old man, we are walking here, hungry and wanting to eat." ”
The old woman looked at me, then at the little uncle, and a touch of loss flashed in her dim eyes: "What did you say?" My wife's ears are not good. ”
I had to be hungry and shout, "Old man, can you have a meal?" ”
"Huh?"
"Rub rice!" I said, gesturing to the smoke coming from the roof.
The old woman finally understood: "Rub the rice." Come in. Yesterday my old man hunted a wild boar in the woods, and you are blessed! ”
Looking at the steaming shredded green pepper meat, braised pork ribs, and pork bone soup on the table, I swallowed my saliva and immediately took the rice handed by the old woman and started eating.
"Old man, little uncle, why don't you eat?" In the quiet wooden house, the only sound was the sound of me chewing on vegetables, and I held the hand of the bamboo chopsticks and asked awkwardly.
The old woman with bad ears didn't seem to understand my words, looked at me with a strange expression, and then looked at Lan Yi and said, "Little girl, you eat more and have a good life!" ”
I had to raise my voice again and point to the porcelain bowl with bamboo chopsticks: "Old man, why don't you eat?" ”
The old woman replied, "Eat." You eat! I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for the old man to come back and eat. ”
Whether to wait politely for the old man to come back and eat together, or to satisfy my appetite first, I touched my chin and thought about it: "Old man, we are in a hurry, so I won't be polite to you." ”
"Okay, you guys eat first!" As she spoke, the old woman then moved a low stool and sat at the door, looking in the direction of Broken Soul Road.
I have to say that the pork bone soup boiled by this old woman is extremely fragrant. Seeing Lan Yi holding the porcelain bowl but not moving the chopsticks, he thought that he thought these dishes were too greasy. I diligently filled Lan Yi with a bowl of pork bone soup and said, "Little uncle, as the saying goes, what you eat makes up for what you eat." Your bones are crispy, you drink more of this pork bone broth. ”
Lan Yi took the pork bone soup I handed to him, but he didn't drink it directly, but raised his eyes to look at me and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think this old woman is very wrong?" ”
"Is there one?"
Looking at the thin old woman sitting at the door, I said, "Except for the back of the ear, I don't think there is anything wrong with her." Little uncle, you can eat with your belly open, there is no problem with these meals, I have already eaten every dish. ”
Seeing that I continued to bury my head in eating, Lan Yi just drank the soup I served for him.
Lan Yi put down the soup bowl and said, "Sister-in-law, Ah Yi is waiting for you, don't be in a hurry to eat slowly." ”
"Yes, okay." I replied as I ate.
However, when I touched my bulging belly and burped, I saw that the sky that had been shining with the sun was covered by dark clouds, and the downpour came immediately.
Adversity......
The rain won't stop for a while, it's just the rhythm of God leaving me to eat wild boar again!
I turned my head to look at Lan Yi and winked and said, "Little uncle, why don't you wait for the rain to stop before leaving?" ”
Looking at the rain curtain mixed with lightning outside the door, Lan Yi frowned slightly: "It seems that this is the only way." ”
For this sudden rainstorm, the old woman who was originally sitting at the door couldn't help but stand under the eaves and look into the distance, and whispered anxiously: "I don't know if the old man has found a place to shelter from the rain." The old man doesn't have many clothes to wear when he goes out today, so what if he catches the cold. I don't know when the rain will stop......"
The thunderstorm in late spring came and did not stop until midnight. Lan Yi and I had to stay here.
But here comes the problem, there is only one room in the wooden house, and there is only one bed in the room. And according to the folk customs of Holly Town, Lan Yiding and I can't sleep in the same bed......
