19. Difficulty
The environment of the Jade Girl Peak is quiet, the forest is luxuriant, from the bottom of the peak to the top, there are streams along the way, or there are pieces of mountain flowers and bamboo bushes, occasionally a few quiet Buddhist temples, mixed with the spirit monkey mountain ape from time to time to pop up, very interesting.
When you arrive at the mountainside, there is a famous waterfall, fly down from the place where you are as high as a hundred zhang, there is a big stone that is round and flat like a mirror at the bottom, the flying beads splash jade, the green and verdant, the beauty is abnormal.
Meng Jin and the others in the back walked slowly, and when Shen Yu and Qin Yu arrived, only Xu Yan was standing alone on a boulder by the pool, and the water droplets splashed on him finely, and he didn't care, just looked up at the few old pines growing on the waist of the cliff.
The two stepped forward to salute, Xu Yan glanced back, and said, "Miss Shen's feet are not slow. ”
"I'm used to it, and I can barely keep up." Shen Yan smiled, "The two old pine trees above are not famous, and everyone should know them in this Chiayi realm, how does Your Highness look at them?" ”
"So famous?" Xu Yan was a little interested.
Shen Yu said: "The Milky Way falls on the Jade Girl Peak, and the pine song is long among the shadow walls." The two pine trees were not born naturally, but were planted by someone. ”
"Someone planted it?" Xu Yan was obviously surprised, looking up at the two pine trees, they were both dozens of feet above the ground, and there were flat stone walls on both sides, and there was no place to start climbing.
On such a high cliff, someone climbed up and planted two pine trees? He was interested and couldn't help but look at Shen Yan.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "This shadow wall looks smooth and smooth, but if you look closer, there are also many crevices and stone cracks, which can grow some weeds and vines. It is said that there are excellent medicinal materials growing on the cliff, because it is too dangerous, no one dares to pick it, and after a long time, some people say that the medicine has spiritual properties, and the medicinal properties are far beyond those in other places. One year, a county magistrate was seriously ill and ordinary herbs were not effective, so Lang Zhong said that he had to take a look at the thousand-year-old medicinal materials on the shadow wall to bring him back to life. There are some medicine pickers living in this Jade Girl Peak, and the prince must have heard of it, so the county order did not give up, so he found the medicine pickers. ”
"Let people go to this cliff to collect medicine, this person's heart is black enough." Xu Yan looked down at Shen Yan next to him, "And then?" ”
Then a father and daughter were unfortunately targeted. The father was sick at that time, and the county magistrate threatened his life and forced his daughter to go up the cliff to collect medicine. Your Highness, look," Shen Fei pointed to the top, and the top of the waterfall could be vaguely seen in the mist, "The girl looked for an extremely long rope and climbed down from the top to find medicinal herbs. ”
"She found it?"
"I found it, but it was windy in the mountains at that time, and she was hanging in the air after collecting medicinal herbs, and her life was in danger. She was honest, thinking that this medicine had grown for thousands of years and had spirituality, so she secretly prayed and made a wish, saying that it was the right way for medicinal herbs to save people, although she picked this medicine, she would have to plant medicinal herbs here in the future, so as to teach them to live and reproduce here. ”
This story is similar to the stories circulating in other famous places, and it is difficult to say whether it is true or false, but Shen Yan told it seriously, so Xu Yan also listened attentively, and asked, "Did she go back safely?" ”
"I went back, and I also handed over the medicinal herbs to the county order. It's just that there is no elixir in the world to revive the dead, the medicinal materials she picked have been growing for too long, and the medicinal properties may not be the best. ”
When Xu Yan heard this, he sneered and said, "That person is eager to ask for medicine, and he actually believes in Na Langzhong's nonsense. At that time, Lang Zhong had already run away, right? ”
"Yes, Lang Zhong is afraid that the county commander will be angry that he is not skilled in medicine, so he will make up such a lie to prevaricate and throw the burden to others, and he himself has already slipped away." Shen Yan also snorted disdainfully, looked up and saw Xu Yan pointing to the pine tree on the wall, and continued: "Lang Zhong went away and flew high, and the anger of the county order was all sprinkled on the father and daughter, caught the seriously ill father, and forced the daughter to go to the cliff to collect medicine again. ”
The girl had to go up again to save her father's life, and because she had recited the prayer she had made last time, she kept her promise, so she took a sapling and planted it in the crack of the stone. Unfortunately, she was unlucky this time, when a strong wind blew, the rope was broken by the edge of the rock, and she fell down and sank to the bottom of the pool. ”
"Those two pine trees she planted?"
"Well, the father and daughter's surname is Song."
"What about Father?"
Shen Yan looked up at Xu Yan and was silent for a while before saying, "Your Highness thinks that he can still get his life back from that county order?" ”
How many people who are targeted by evil officials can end well? Zheng Xunzhi is also a humble and weak Xue Wanrong, and has no power to resist?
Xu Yan was choked by her question, turned his mind, and couldn't help laughing that he was too deep in the story, and he would hope that the father would escape his life. He couldn't help but look at Shen Yan, and saw that she was looking at the two pine trees, and there was some unknown meaning in her eyes, as if she was emotional, and as if she was ......
"Your Highness, I hope you can help with Mr. Zheng's matter." Shen Yan's voice was very low, and she tasted it a little weak and fragile.
Xu Yan looked at her side face, a little distressed, and said after a while: "Hmm." ”
The two of them stood by the pool in a daze, and Qin Yu next to him saw that Shen Fei's clothes had been stained with a lot of moisture, and said: "The water by the pool is cold, which is not good for the body, Ah Yu lean back." ”
In one sentence, the two of them came back to their senses, and they heard Meng Xian's sweet laughing voice behind them, "There is the shadow wall ahead, and the two pine trees on it are very interesting, Miss Xue, come and take a look." ”
Meng Xian is a serious deep daughter, some rules are very exquisite, if it weren't for accompanying Xue Ning this time, Meng Jin wouldn't have allowed her to come out to play like this. Xu Yan and Qin Yu didn't feel anything when they were alone with Shen Yan, and when they heard the two girls coming, they all paced elsewhere in unison, so as not to embarrass men and women.
This Meng Xian and Xue Ning had already walked over under the service of the two mothers-in-law, Meng Xian saw that Shen Yu was already here, and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, your feet are really fast, and there will be no shadow in a while!" ”
Shen Yu turned her head and smiled: "It's only been here for a while." ”
The three of them stood together and looked at the deep pool of the waterfall.
Shen Yan's understanding of this place comes from books, where can Meng Xian know the story here well, because of the fame of Jade Girl Peak, every grass and tree here seems to have a story, Meng Xian also loves to read on weekdays, and when she talks about these, she can also quote scriptures, which is just in line with the story hidden in Shen Yu's belly.
The two of them spoke happily, but Xue Ning was a little unsettled at the back.
Although she should also make a few noises, her eyes are wandering around, looking for Qin Yu, who was with Shen Yu just now and disappeared after they arrived.
After a while, I saw Qin Yu standing on the side of a boulder, but his gaze was cast to this side, with a smile on his lips, a stunned and obsessive look on his face, his eyes seemed to be glued, and there was nothing beside him.
Miss Xue Ning's family is delicate, how could she not think of who Qin Yuzheng was looking at?
Looking at Shen Yu next to him unconsciously, thinking of the jealousy and hatred of those days, thinking about the scar on his face that had not yet healed, his heart became more and more angry, and finally he couldn't control himself and took half a step forward, pretending to listen to their conversation, but he hit Shen Yu hard.
Where did Shen Yan expect Xue Ning to have such a bad heart? The stone under his feet was already slippery when it was wet with water, and now he was pushed by someone unsuspectingly, where could he still stand firmly, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and fell down.
Meng Xian next to her was good-hearted, and subconsciously grabbed Shen Yan's wrist and wanted to pull her back.
However, the girl's strength was limited, and Meng Xian not only failed to pull Shen Yan back, but was dragged by her and fell down at the same time.
This boulder is not very high when it climbs from behind, but the side near the water is broken by the brush, about two or three zhang high, and the bottom is full of rocks. The two fell, Shen Yan's feet hit the ground first, only to feel a sharp pain in the ankle, and then extended to the calf, as if the bone was broken.
The stone below was even more slippery, and Shen Yu could still stabilize it under the severe pain of her serious injury, and after snorting in pain, she slid directly into the water along the stone face.
Meng Xian was even more unlucky than her, not to mention hurting her legs and feet after falling, her head hit the stone behind her when she slipped and fell, and she was already unconscious when she entered the water.
This change came too suddenly, Qin Yu was the first to notice, but after all, he stood far away, and when he flew over, the two of them were already seriously injured and entered the water. I saw a figure on the opposite side rushing over, grabbed Shen Yan's clothes and dragged her out of the water, and said, "There is another one!" ”
Although Qin Yu was worried about Shen Yu's injury, he didn't dare to slack off to save people, so he hurriedly flew over and dragged Meng Xian out of the water as usual.
The maids and women below had already panicked and surrounded them.
At this time, they couldn't care about the guests, so they just surrounded Meng Xian and grabbed the ground and helped her spit water.
Qin Yu was squeezed away by them instead, and when he looked up, he saw Xu Yan holding Shen Yan in his arms, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, how is Auntie?" ”
"Hurt the leg bone." Xu Yan glanced at Meng Xian, "Quickly let someone deal with that, don't be stunned." He also ordered his entourage to call Xue Wanrong and the others over, and when his eyes swept over Xue Ning, who was standing on the boulder, he was as sharp as a blade.
However, at this time, Xu Yan was not in the mood to pay attention to Xue Ning, seeing that Shen Yan did not hold her breath when she fell asleep in a hurry, she choked a lot of pool water in her mouth and nose, and was busy helping her spit water. Then regardless of men and women, he hurriedly checked the injury on her leg.
Qin Yue didn't dare to disobey the order, and seeing that Xu Yan acted in a lawful manner, there was no place for him to interfere, so he had to go over and teach those people how to deal with Meng Xian simply. When the people over there were in a hurry, Xu Yan had already finished dealing with Shen Yan here.
The rest of the people rushed over to see this, and their faces were shocked.
Although Meng Jin is a politician, he loves this daughter to the core, and he doesn't care about any prince studying politics, so he rushed over to look at Meng Xian's face, and said angrily: "Are they all dead!" How to fall into the water! ”
Behind Meng Jin, Xue Wanrong followed, and when he saw Xue Ning standing on the boulder with a pale face, he couldn't help but be shocked.
This Xu Yan put Shen Yan in the hands of Shen Ping, who was full of panic, then stood up and commanded sharply: "Catch Xue Ning and go back to the city!" ”
