Chapter 219: Immortality
Ling Ye and Ouyang Qing followed the instructions of Sister-in-law Zhang and Uncle Zhang, bypassed a small market and went up to a hill called "Love Root Mountain". There are also many neighbors along the road to fetch water, and when they saw the two of them, they also knew that they were brought back by Uncle Zhang, and they were not surprised and wary, but greeted them very cordially, as if they were friends who had known each other for many years.
"Help Uncle Zhang carry water? I'm Li Qi who lives next door to him, and you can just call me Brother Li! ”
"Brother Li." Ling Ye and Ouyang Qing also introduced themselves.
Li Qi waved his hand, hummed a mountain song with a simple smile, and went down the mountain with water.
Ling Ye watched Li Qi go away, and said in a low voice: "The farmer here looks like an ordinary farmer, it should be a human race, right?" ”
Ouyang Qing nodded and said, "Now that the hurricane continent is surging, there are not many human races left who don't understand spiritual power and cultivation, and they are hiding here to keep their descendants incense." It's just that they are unguarded against us, which makes me very puzzled. ”
"Maybe they are naturally mellow, but here they are isolated from the outside world, and there is no information communication, so it is natural that they have no intention of guarding against others. Others treat us honestly, but we are still wondering if there is some conspiracy in this honesty, and this is the biggest difference between us and them. It's a shame to be ashamed! ”
Ling Ye sighed lightly, and Fu continued to walk towards the Love Root Mountain.
Ouyang Qing knew that his words were wrong, which caused Ling Ye to think of the past again, so he hurriedly smiled: "In the future, we will treat them with sincerity, as long as we can do something, we will help them, okay?" We are also like ordinary human races, we don't use spiritual power, we don't meditate and cultivate, we only rely on our hands and feet, and live like them. ”
"Good!"
Ling Ye nodded happily, when she was in the secret service organization, she thought that one day she could live an ordinary life, and then crossed over to this otherworldly continent, she stood on the battlefield of blood and killing, trying her best to hide her desire for a peaceful and peaceful life, she never thought that this day was not far away, as long as she wanted, she could have such a life!
Ouyang Qing saw Ling Ye happily picking flowers in front, so he followed her silently with a smile. I don't know how long Lu Dao has been walking, a colorful flower bush suddenly appeared in front of her, Ling Ye raised her hand and motioned Ouyang Qing to wait for her for a while, she ran to the flower bush, I don't know what wild flowers Lu Dao picked.
Ouyang Qing simply put the flat burden on the side of the road, and there was a small thatched pavilion for people to rest on the side of the road. In the pavilion sat three women, their aprons carrying many wild flowers, talking and laughing, and deftly weaving flower baskets with their fingers. Ouyang Qing originally wanted to buy a basket of their flowers for Ling Ye, but after approaching, he suddenly heard them telling the story of Genshan, so he deliberately paused and listened attentively.
"When I was a child, I often heard my grandmother say that if a lover with a heart drinks the water of the Love Root Mountain, he will never be separated." The woman in the red apron smiled and said, "So I took a sip with my wife when we got married, and knelt down by the well to worship heaven and earth, and I don't know if the Tao will work." ”
The woman in the green apron giggled and said, "Who doesn't know that you and your family are very affectionate!" Rumor has it that a hundred years ago, there was a stone demon on this mountain. This stone demon fell in love with a girl in the world, so he broke the precepts of heaven and earth, and after falling in love with that girl, he was punished by the heavenly realm and became a dry well on this mountain. The girl thought about it day and night, and finally fell ill and jumped into the dry well of the stone demon, and immediately a boiling spring came out of the dry well, which is the water we are now picking. ”
"I've heard this rumor too, and it seems that there is more than one theory." The woman in the purple apron also spoke, "Anyway, this mountain is called Love Root Mountain, so who is called Love Water, and all lovers who come here to drink water together will surely blossom and bear fruit...... Like my family, those four wild children, I really can't manage them......"
"My kid is ...... the same"
All three women laughed in unison, and the conversation fell back to their parenting scriptures.
Ouyang Qing listened to the rumors about this landscape, and his heart was also full of blood, looking back at Ling Ye among the flowers, the happy smile on the corner of his mouth was like the ripples of the lake in spring, circle by circle, turning into a happy hug and hugging their two hearts tightly. Ouyang Qing came back to his senses, walked into the pavilion, and said, "I'm bothering you sisters-in-law, seeing that the sisters-in-law are ingenious, I don't know if the flower basket can be sold?" ”
"You're a guest at Sister-in-law Zhang's house, right?"
The woman in the red apron recognized Ouyang Qinglai, and when Uncle Zhang's oxcart passed in front of her house just now, she also stuffed Uncle Zhang with a few pieces of pancake. Ouyang Qing smiled and nodded, and the woman in the red apron smiled again, and said, "We don't have anything to buy and sell here, even if it's a barter in the market, if you like this flower basket, sister-in-law will give it to you." ”
"That's it, isn't it just to pass the time by making a flower basket, we can send it to you." The woman in the green apron and purple apron also laughed.
Ouyang Qing was naturally embarrassed, so he wanted to exchange the jade pendant on his body, only to find that after changing his clothes, he didn't wear anything, so he had to smile embarrassedly. The three women were all kind and lovely, and stuffed the three flower baskets into Ouyang Qing's arms, only saying that if Ouyang Qing didn't accept it, he wouldn't look down on their craftsmanship.
Ouyang Qing had no choice but to nod his head in thanks, and the three women sat down again, chatting about family matters.
Ouyang Qing held the flower basket and walked towards Ling Ye with a flat pole.
Ling Ye just walked out with a flower in his arm, and smiled excitedly: "It just so happens that I have no place to put this flower." ”
She divided the flowers in her arms into three flower baskets, Ouyang Qing smiled and wiped the sweat beads on Ling Ye's forehead, and said with a smile: "Look at you like a naughty boy, even the sweat is the fragrance of flowers." ”
"Less joking." Ling Ye stepped onto the flower basket and continued to walk towards the mountain with Ouyang Qing.
After bypassing a few bends, the well of the water was already in front of them.
"Come, I'll help you get the water ......"
Ling Ye put down the flower basket in his hand as he spoke, stepped forward and threw the well tube tied with a thick rope into the well water.
Ouyang Qing was still thinking about the words of the three women, and when he saw that Ling Ye had already brought up the first bucket of water, he quickly held Ling Ye's hand and said with a smile: "I see that you have been playing on the way up the mountain, you should be thirsty, you can take a sip first!" ”
Ling Ye blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Are you tired and want to drink water, saying that I want to drink water?" ”
"Anyway, you just drink it, I'll drink it again after you finish drinking!"
Ouyang Qing turned around and picked a large leaf from a nearby tree, held the leaf in both hands and scooped a handful of water for Ling Ye, Ling Ye smiled and drank it from Ouyang Qing's hand.
"Wow, that's so sweet! It's like it's chilled, you can taste it......"
Ouyang Qing's ears were red, and he took another sip of water, and when Ling Ye didn't care, he hid the leaves used for drinking water into his clothes, and pressed them tightly to his heart. Ling Ye turned around and went to fetch water again, Ouyang Qing stared at Ling Ye's back affectionately, and his heart seemed to bloom like a rainbow of summer flowers.
