Chapter 9 Encounters with Mountain People

Ten days later, Jiang Qingtian's body had completely recovered to normal. For the past ten days, the valley lord has been coming to check her pulse regularly. In the huge Netherworld Valley, she not only received the courtesy of a VIP, but also had a earth-shaking view of this evil-sounding gang, and deepened her understanding of Xia Xue'er and Xianglan, and now she only felt refreshed and refreshed like never before.

I still remember the strong sense of shock in her heart when she first walked out of the cave and saw the true face of the Netherworld Valley for the first time, she couldn't believe her eyes, the beautiful valley in front of her was not worthy of the name Netherworld Valley at all, and she couldn't figure out where the name of this strong cold breath came from!

The valley is surrounded by mountains on all sides, towering into the clouds, the houses in the valley are built according to the mountains, the pavilions and pavilions have everything, the corridor waist is back, the eaves are pecked high, the height is staggered, the first floor and one pavilion, one pavilion and one bridge are ingenious, integrated into nature, and the fairy saint is beautiful. As far as the eye can see, there is no desolation and coldness, but flowers blooming all over the ground, birds soaring freely, green trees, and merrily flowing streams...... The falling flowers are colorful, the herbs are delicious, and they are extremely fragrant, which is a veritable paradise. Such a place, far away from the glitz and bustle of the capital, shows the beauty of natural miracles, and can be described as an excellent choice for talented people to retreat to the mountains and forests.

Besides, Xia Xue'er's valley master is not a very vicious person, although he is over half a hundred years old, and his sideburns are a little gray, but his body is still healthy and his spirit is very good, but he is as unsmiling as her eldest brother Xia Qi, and he is born with a kind of undesecrated kingly spirit, not angry and arrogant. Jiang Qingtian sometimes couldn't help but want to tremble when he looked at Shizun's face that had been through vicissitudes, it was a jealousy from the depths of his soul.

Such a hidden master really can't be connected with the teacher in Xianglan's mouth who has always treated Xia Xue'er no better than ordinary people, and has always been more pampered than blamed. There is also the man named Su Qi, who is very good-looking, handsome and chic, but Jiang Qingtian always chatted with Xianglan in private and said that Su Qi took pity on that good skin, like an iceberg that will not melt for thousands of years, exuding cold air all over his body, rejecting people thousands of miles away, and liking to do things more than talking. At this time, Xianglan would always can't help but reply to her, "You just said this because he had a grudge against him for knocking you out", and inevitably looked at Jiang Qingtian meaningfully and complained, "How sad Senior Brother Su Qi should be when he heard your words", Jiang Qingtian was noncommittal about this, she still remembered that night Su Qi simply and rudely knocked her unconscious and carried her back to the Netherworld Valley without her permission, although Su Qi's reason for doing it was very sufficient, but that did not mean that she could forgive him lightly, Only Jiang Qingtian herself knows how aggrieved she was that night, and the scene when she hugged the trunk and didn't let go had already thrown that face into the Arctic Ocean!

The days in the valley were quiet and peaceful, and Jiang Qingtian had nothing to do except insist on lying on the ice bed for at least two hours every day according to Zhen Tianxiong's request.

The cold ice bed is made of 10,000-year-old ice, and it will have a huge auxiliary effect on it, whether it is practicing or healing, but Jiang Qingtian wishes that she would lie on it all day, but she has lost all her martial arts and has no true qi to protect her body, she really can't bear the pain of the extreme cold, and two hours is already the limit of her body.

Every time she came out of the cave, she would wander around, truly integrate into nature, feel the wonder of life, and experience the beauty of the world. In the 21st century, harmony between man and nature has become a familiar slogan, human beings continue to provoke nature, invade nature, no matter what kind of beauty in the pursuit of "high quality of life" human hands will lose its original face, this kind of beauty without artificial components is very rare. I really envy Xia Xue'er, she has such a good teacher, and she has such a good teacher, and she is allowed to explore the mountains and forests.

Jiang Qingtian stood alone under the porch, a light rain drifted down and brought a trace of coolness, the rain washed away the dust on the stone road, knocked down the flowers blooming on the branches, the rain stopped, the air was mixed with the smell of earth, but it was not annoying, but felt so sweet. The incomparably fresh air and the smell of nature poured into the heart, so the whole person was happy. Looking up, the clouds and mist cover most of the mountain from top to bottom like a white hat, and from time to time there are neatly arranged birds spreading their wings through the clouds and spiraling upwards, like a fairyland.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingtian's gaze froze, and his dark pupils were full of incredulity, that was?

Skillfully flicked off Xianglan's little tail, Jiang Qingtian went up the mountain along the trail alone.

Because of the rain that had just fallen, the winding gravel road was a little slippery, and she lifted the hem of her skirt with one hand and grabbed the branch that leaned out of the tree to climb up the mountain. At first, the stone road was wider and easier to walk, but gradually the stones paved became smaller and smaller, and the road became narrower and narrower, until it all disappeared and disappeared in the dense forest, and it seemed that there was no way to go. Jiang Qingtian hesitated for a moment, and bravely shuttled through the dense woods, even though the residual rain on the grass and trees wet her beautiful dress, it strengthened her determination to move forward. Sometimes the little birds that disturb the rest of the forest flutter their wings and fly to choose another branch; Sometimes when they encounter a foraging hare, they stop and prick up their ears and then jump away after looking at each other; Sometimes you can see dancing squirrels jumping from branch to branch with light steps......

But exploring the jungle isn't all pretty, and it can be a headache at times. For example, it hurts and itches after being bitten by an unknown insect, such as the bare skin is cut by branches and leaves, oozing bright red blood, and for example, she meets a big wolf dog like she is now, looking at her, both sides are not rash, waiting for the other party's next move.

The animal Jiang Qingtian fears the most is a dog, even if it is a domestic pet. When I was a child, I lived in my grandmother's house, and for some reason it seemed that the dogs in the whole community didn't like her, and the prosperity of Grandpa Zhang's family upstairs had left his own tooth marks on her calf, and Grandma Li's little flower had to chase her behind her ass every day...... Jiang Qingtian doesn't have a good impression of dogs, let alone a big wolf dog that looks fierce and vicious!

After a while, Jiang Qingtian couldn't stop his trembling body. The green mountains left are not afraid of no firewood, thirty-six plans, and it is the best policy to go! Unfortunately, she turned around in a panic and didn't run far before she tripped over a thick branch and fell to the ground unconscious.

When he woke up again, Jiang Qingtian found himself in a bamboo hut, and his ankle had been carefully bandaged, exuding a faint scent of medicinal herbs. She couldn't help but sigh at her colorful fate, every time she woke up in a coma, she was in a different place!

Hold on to the edge of the bed and get up, look around the house, the bamboo house is not big or even very small, a bed, a table, a chair plus a bamboo cabinet, no extra furniture, no exquisite decorations, simple and simple. Jiang Qingtian limped to the door of the bamboo house along the corner, and happened to meet an old man dressed as a Taoist priest returning with a bamboo basket on his back, followed by the fierce wolf dog, who was also baring his teeth and staring at her.

Seeing Jiang Qingtian wake up, the old Taoist priest put down his back basket and said, "The girl is awake?" "It's just a greeting.

Jiang Qingtian took his eyes off the big dog, smiled awkwardly and asked, "Did you save me?" ”

The old Taoist priest poured out the miscellaneous herbs in the basket and carefully selected, sorted, and dried them, and said indifferently: "It's not a rescue, it's my dog who frightened you." ”

Jiang Qingtian saluted respectfully to the old Taoist priest, and then asked, "May I ask what is the master's surname or legal name?" ”

"Names are just symbols, it's okay not to know, if you have to know, just call me a mountain man. ”

Jiang Qingtian was slightly stunned after hearing this, Shanren, what is this name! Eyes scattered around, towering trees rose from the ground, birds and birds played the music of nature, and the visibility of the eyes was only 100 meters, Jiang Qingtian was suddenly overjoyed, could it be that she found the hermit by mistake?

The old Taoist priest suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked up at the birds hovering in the sky, and then said to Jiang Qingtian: "Since the girl is awake, go back early, it won't be long before the girl's friend will find the old Tao." ”

"But ......" saw the real hermit for the first time, Jiang Qingtian still had a lot of questions to ask him, besides, this mountain man looked very powerful, but he didn't want to be ordered to be evicted, but he could only swallow all the questions that were quick to exit, and limped out of the bamboo fence wall, but when he was disappointed, there was a voice of the old Taoist priest who had experienced the vicissitudes of life: "The old Taoist looks at the strange life of the girl, and I advise the girl, the girl is not a person of this era, but she is also out of the original era, rather than becoming a lonely soul scattered in this world." , it's better to be at peace when you come, why be so obsessed. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Qingtian seemed to have been struck by earth-shattering lightning, and he couldn't move, completely stunned by the simple bamboo fence, "Not a person of this era", did he already know something or see something? "Where it comes, it is safe", why do you say that? Countless questions swirled in her mind, biting her nerves, and in pain, Jiang Qingtian hurriedly turned around and looked at the old Taoist priest with a longing face and said, "Please also ask the immortals to teach you!" ”

The old Taoist priest sighed and said: "There is a cause and effect of a thing in the world, and there must be a cause and effect, and cause and effect are born together, which is one, and if you are too obsessed with "cause" and ignore "effect", the outcome is often unsatisfactory. Knowing how to let go and accept is the best fulfillment, and hope to cherish yourself. After speaking, the old Taoist priest entered the bamboo house, leaving only Jiang Qingtian with an unfathomable back.

Jiang Qingtian shouted at the back in a hurry: "What do you mean?" ”

The back froze for a moment, and only a sentence came lightly: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it cannot be leaked." ”

Jiang Qingtian stared at the bamboo house for a long time, turned around and limped away, his beautiful eyes seemed to be a pool of lake water, with unconcealable disappointment and unfathomable doubts.

While walking, pondering the words of the mountain people, because? Fruit? What is the result? Put it down? Accept? What is to let go of, and what is to be accepted? There was a fog in my head, and before I knew it, I had walked out of the dense forest and returned to the gravel road down the mountain, which seemed to be much easier than when I came.

"Miss, I've found you! Where have you gone? ”

Jiang Qingtian looked up when she heard the sound and saw Xianglan running towards her from front with an anxious face, and said with an apologetic grin: "Just walk around, I forgot the time unconsciously." ”

Su Qi, who was behind Xianglan, had sharp eyes, noticed the strangeness at Jiang Qingtian's ankle, and asked, "What's wrong with your foot?" ”

Obviously concerned, but it didn't sound a little warm, Jiang Qingtian took a breath and shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Xianglan also noticed Jiang Qingtian's abnormality at this time, and asked anxiously: "Why is it injured, can you still walk?" ”

Jiang Qingtian smiled and comforted Xianglan and said, "It's okay, it's just a scrape from a branch, it doesn't matter." After finishing speaking, he found that Su Qi had already stretched his hand to his ankle, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, what are you doing?" Men and women don't kiss! ”

Su Qi ignored her struggles, fixed her ankles with all his might, gently took off his shoes and socks, the ankles were already high and swollen, and he was still oozing blood, his heart was anxious and angry, and he glanced at Jiang Qingtian and said, "It's all bleeding and say it's okay, hold on!" ”

Jiang Qingtian was also startled when he saw it, but he still retracted his feet and hid them under his skirt, and muttered quietly: "I want you to take care of it." ”

Su Qi stood up and replied: "I am your senior brother, I have the right to control you!" After speaking, he directly threw Jiang Qingtian on his shoulders and carried him away, not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all!

It's this simple and crude way again! Jiang Qingtian was powerless to resist, and could only express his inner depression with abuse:

"Su Qi, let me down!"

"Su Qi, I want to sue Master SΓΉ, you are bullying me again!"

"Su Qi, you bastard!"

"Su Qi, I will definitely not let you go! I'll get my revenge! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xianglan watched Su Qi carry Jiang Qingtian away like a sack, and the back of the fast walk away was accompanied by the sound of abuse that resounded in the sky, and she only covered her mouth and laughed. I think that at the beginning, her young lady followed behind Senior Brother Su every time she arrived in the Netherworld Valley, which was called a courteous and couldn't get rid of it, but now the young lady's temperament has changed greatly, and Su Qi has been paying attention to her every move all the time, and the worry is beyond words, but this eldest lady still doesn't appreciate it, and she is noisy, and she is really a happy couple!
