Chapter 16
CHAPTER XVI
"Senior sister, this road should be Wangling Mountain a little further forward." The horse's hooves stepped on the grass, making a pleasant clattering sound, listening to the words of Hua Ye, Fu Baizhi stared at it, and sure enough, he saw that not far away was the only way to the Valley of the Medicine Immortals, Wangling Mountain. Compared to the previous two descents, even if I only prepared for one night and set off, I still had plenty of things with me.
The night before leaving, Hua Yeyu went to the kitchen to make some salty pastries and wrap them, and put them at Fu Baizhi before going out. Although the distance between Cangqiong Mountain and Wangling Peak is far away, because of the rush of time, the two of them have never rested at all along the way. Seeing the shadow of Wangling Peak at this moment, Fu Baizhi couldn't wait to fall asleep directly on the horse.
"Senior sister is tired?" Seeing Fu Baizhi drooping her head and looking confused, Hua Yeyu asked with some concern. She knows very well that the other party has been pampered since she was a child, and she has never suffered such hardships. Thinking of this, Hua Yeyu slowly steered the horse over, stepped on the stirrup with both legs and jumped over, then jumped onto Fu Baizhi's horse and sat behind her.
"What are you doing here?" The sudden extra weight on the horse's back frightened Fu Baizhi, she rubbed her sore eyes, and looked at Hua Yeyu who suddenly jumped over in puzzlement, but she never thought that her shoulder was gently pressed by her, and then she lay down in the other party's arms.
"Senior sister must be extremely sleepy, there is still a distance from the Medicine Immortal Valley here, you can rely on me to take a nap first."
Hua Yeyu's voice was very soft, but the words were intimate, hearing her say this, Fu Baizhi felt lucky, fortunately she had such a caring junior sister, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Hua Yeyu, who was fighting spirits, and the box of congratulatory gifts in the carriage behind her, and sat back straight.
"This is unacceptable, the master has prepared so many congratulatory gifts, it would be bad if I was negligent because I was tired for a while."
"Senior sister thinks I'm like the kind of person who doesn't know anything if it's lost?" Hearing Fu Baizhi say this, Hua Yeyu asked softly. She smiled extremely beautifully, and her face with her back to the sun bloomed in front of her eyes, which was different and moving.
"Okay, I'll just sleep for a while, you can wake me up later, so you can rest too."
"Well, senior sister, sleep at ease." After Hua Yeyu finished speaking, she deliberately straightened her body so that Fu Baizhi could lean more comfortably. Taking her small movements in her eyes, Fu Baizhi leaned up comfortably and slowly buried her head in Hua Yeyu's neck. Smelling the familiar aroma, it really made people sleepy, and it didn't take long for even breathing to come.
Hua Yeyu was afraid that Fu Baizhi would catch a cold after sleeping, so she deliberately used her internal strength to warm up her body, so as not to freeze the person in her arms. Looking at that sleeping face, Hua Yeyu found that this was the first time she had seen Fu Baizhi asleep. Her face was fair, and she leaned on her shoulder with the sun.
The silky black hair ran down and tangled with his long hair, messy and complicated. It's this person, this face, although most of them are cold to themselves, but occasionally they bloom with heartwarming tenderness. couldn't help but reach out and hug Fu Baizhi, Hua Yeyu rubbed her hair lightly with her cheek, giving birth to a few hints of joy.
She likes the senior sister in her arms at this moment, and she is just her senior sister.
It's a pity that the idea of Hua Yeyu came out before it was interrupted by an uninvited guest. Looking at a group of people standing not far away, they were holding long knives, wearing black clothes and masks, they had never met before, and Hua Yeyu also knew that these people had bad intentions. They must have heard about the recent birthday of the Medicine Immortal Valley, so they deliberately ambushed here.
"Senior sister, wait and sleep, we're in some trouble." Even at this critical juncture, Hua Yeyu couldn't bear to wake up Fu Baizhi recklessly. Seeing the robbers lighting up their cannons, they laughed and threw them at the horses and carts where they were. Hua Yeyu screamed in her heart, she hurriedly hugged Fu Baizhi, who had just woken up, and jumped off the horse. The two horses they were riding were frightened by the sound of artillery fire and scattered in panic. Seeing that they were about to pull the carriage away, Hua Yeyu hurriedly drew his sword to cut the rope on the carriage, leaving an important congratulatory gift at the critical moment.
"It's just a good time for them to come." After this movement, Fu Baizhi had already sobered up completely. She looked at the frightened horse that had run away, and then at the robbers around her, and her heart was already unhappy. She had just slept with Zhengxiang, but was woken up by these robbers. If she had met them a few months ago, maybe Fu Baizhi would have been scared, but after she learned to control the internal force, she already understood the reality of the internal force from the pace, these robbers are just relying on the large number of people, in fact, they are all waste.
"Senior sister, you are on your left and I am on my right?"
"Feel free, I can solve these people alone anyway." Fu Baizhi said, she had already drawn her sword first, and headed straight towards the robber who was leaning on the left. As a modern person, Fu Baizhi is not used to the ancients killing at will, so she will always hurt people with the back of a knife. And Hua Yeyu didn't want to hurt his life, and he didn't even draw his sword.
The two of them cooperated, and after a while, they forced these robbers back, and the leader thought that the two women would be easy characters to deal with, but he didn't expect that martial arts people were only women who could fight like this. glanced at his subordinates who fell to the ground, and he didn't even care about picking up his sword and ran away, not to mention what to rob the congratulatory gift.
"What now?" After solving the bandits, Fu Baizhi looked at the carriage without horses and frowned. There is still a long way to go from the Medicine Immortal Valley, and there is no horse to carry these congratulatory gifts, but it will take more than a day to walk.
"Senior sister, let's wait here to see if the horse will run back by itself, if not, we can only go up."
Hua Yeyu saw Fu Baizhi's dissatisfaction, stepped forward and took a few steps to sweep the dust off her body, and took her to the side of the carriage. The two of them waited for an hour, not to mention the horse, not even the one who passed by. Looking at the large grass in front of her, Hua Yeyu sighed and turned to carry the large box of congratulatory gifts on the carriage.
"What do you do?" Seeing Hua Yuye carrying the huge box on her back without saying a word, Fu Baizhi asked urgently. Although I don't know what is in the box, the volume is as tall as half a body, seeing Hua Yeyu using such a slender body to carry this box, Fu Baizhi feels very uncomfortable in her heart, it is clear that she is the senior sister, but the other party has done everything she should do, and in modern times, Hua Yeyu is just a fifteen-year-old girl.
"Senior sister, I don't think this horse will come back, let's move quickly, and we should rest early." Hua Yeyu didn't think there was anything wrong, she got up and was about to leave, but suddenly, her arm was grabbed by Fu Baizhi, and then her body was light, and the box had been taken away by Fu Baizhi.
"Now you can go."
"Senior sister, you..."
"It's good to walk like this, your body is so thin, I'm afraid you'll be crushed."
Seeing the surprise in Hua Yeyu's eyes clearly, Fu Baizhi couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her back, but only touched a large piece of bone. Although this box is really not very heavy, carrying it on one's body and carrying it on Hua Yeyu gives people a completely different feeling. Fu Baizhi just doesn't like to carry it on her back, and she feels uncomfortable when she looks at it.
"Senior sister recite a paragraph, and then I can carry it, okay?"
"Well, let's go quickly." Knowing that if she didn't agree with Hua Yeyu, she would snatch the box back now, Fu Baizhi could only nod her head and say yes. At this moment, the sound of messy horses' hooves came from the distance behind, and the two men looked back, and even though they were far away, they could see the long line of convoys.
It was a procession that looked like a businessman, dozens of people in white robes rode around, and in the middle was a luxurious carriage. The carriage is emerald green throughout, topped with tassels of white and emerald green. Four horses drove side by side, slowly pulling the carriage, and behind it was a row of wooden carts containing beautifully styled boxes.
Seeing them, Fu Baizhi and Hua Yeyu seemed to see a savior, and they knew that the people who would appear here in this kind of battle at such a time would definitely go to the Medicine Immortal Valley. The two men stood in front of the carriage and arched their hands, explaining to one of them who they were and what had happened to them, and then saw the man walking towards the carriage in the middle, talking something by the window.
After a while, just as the two of them felt that there was a chance, a hand slowly emerged from the carriage, and then a woman in a long emerald green dress slowly emerged from it. The woman's appearance is extremely outstanding, with long waterfall hair scattered on her shoulders and a simple and transparent hosta inserted on the top of her head, elegant and solemn. Her skin was fair and clear, and her eyebrows were full of indifference and distantness, but she did not feel cold and unapproachable.
Seeing the woman slowly walking towards herself and Hua Yeyu, Fu Baizhi intuitively felt that this woman's background must be not small, so she hurriedly surrendered her hand. "This girl, my junior sister and I are disciples of the Firmament Sect, and because the family teacher has been unwell recently, we have come to participate in the birthday banquet of the daughter of the valley lord of the Medicine Immortal Valley in his place. Unexpectedly, we encountered robbers on the way and lost our horses, can the girl give us a ride? After Fu Baizhi finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at the woman. Although the woman was facing her head-on, her gaze wandered around Hua Yeyu.
"I've heard what you said. I am not the one who goes up to celebrate my birthday, but the one you want to see. At this point, if Fu Baizhi can't guess who the person in front of her is, she will be sorry for her identity. Although she had always guessed who this woman with extraordinary appearance and temperament was, she didn't expect to meet the valley master of Medicine Immortal Valley here, Liu Jingmo.
"The junior didn't expect to meet the willow valley lord here, in this case, can the valley master make it convenient for me and my junior sister..."
"Leave the congratulatory gift and put it in the car behind. But I don't have any horses to lend you any more horses here, and there is no space in the carriage, so you two will go up the hill on your own. ”
If there was still a trace of luck in Fang Cai Fu Baizhi, now she was completely stunned. She was stunned and Liu Jingmo's entourage took away the congratulatory gift on her body, seeing that the other party was about to get into the carriage after receiving the gift, Fu Baizhi just wanted to say something, Hua Yeyu on the side had already stepped forward quickly, blocking Liu Jingmo's way.
"Lord Willow Valley, forgive the younger generation for being rude. If there were no horses on the mountain, it would take a whole day, and my sister and I had been running for a long time. Just now I saw that there was still room for the carriage in the back, you can let my senior sister go up, and I can go up the mountain by myself. If the valley owner does not allow it, our congratulatory gifts have been given, and our hearts have arrived, and it will be okay if we can't go up the mountain. ”
Hua Yeyu's words were really polite, but they somewhat brushed Liu Jingmo's face. There was no wave on her face, but she looked at Hua Yeyu with more interest. This little girl's appearance is good, and Liu Jingmo, who is a practitioner of medicine, can see at a glance that she has some talents that are different from ordinary people, and she will only take a few more glances before. Now I think it's even more interesting to see her dare to threaten herself outright. It's just that if she suffers this difficulty, she will not be Liu Jingmo.
For a while, the atmosphere became extremely anxious, Hua Yeyu raised her head, and looked at Liu Jingmo without being humble or arrogant. She knew earlier that the current valley master of the Medicine Immortal Valley was very young, but she didn't expect that he was only in his early twenties. Liu Jingmo feels a little similar to Fu Baizhi, their looks are soft and gentle, but Liu Jingmo is a little more alienated and indifferent in her gentleness, she is so high, she doesn't show that she is not close to people, but she rejects people thousands of miles away, and does not care about the feelings of others. Thinking like this, Hua Yeyu glanced at Fu Baizhi, and always felt that the senior sister was the best.
"Since the Firmament Gate insists on doing this, then don't blame me..."
"Mother."
Liu Jingmo wanted to leave early to end this meaningless conversation, but she didn't expect that as soon as the words came to her mouth, the familiar voice came from the carriage. Looking at Liu Ziling's smiling face and her footsteps running over, Liu Jingmo's heart moved, she stepped forward in a few steps, and hugged the person in her arms, regardless of the presence of so many people, she kissed the little face of the person in her arms.
"What happened to Ziling? There's a lot of sand on the ground, so what if you get into your shoes and scratch your feet? If the wind is so strong, don't bring a silk scarf, close your eyes quickly, and be careful about getting into the sand for a while. At this moment, Fu Baizhi and Hua Yeyu were both stunned to look at the scene in front of them, and they couldn't connect such Liu Jingmo with the arrogant and lonely woman just now for a long time.
Looking at the fair-cheeked girl in her arms, the girl was not tall, but she was only on Liu Jingmo's chest, but she was also eleven or twelve years old. Seeing Liu Jingmo holding her in her arms and kissing and coaxing, telling this and that, if it weren't for Liu Ziling's seemingly normal behavior, the two of them would almost think that Liu Jingmo's daughter was a person with a bad brain.
"Mother, I'm fine, you let me down. Also, if the two sisters want you to help them up, why don't you help? Liu Ziling said softly, her soft voice made Liu Jingmo's hand that she had just put down raised again, and seeing that she wanted to hug herself again, Liu Ziling gently patted Liu Jingmo's hand.
"Mother, don't always think about hugging me."
"Ziling, listen to me, it's because the carriage has no place that I will let them go up by themselves."
"Then it would be good for the mother to invite them to come up to our carriage, and there is still a lot of room to spare?"
The child's words are unscrupulous, but every sentence is true, hearing Liu Ziling say this, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Liu Jingmo's face. Seeing her hesitation, Liu Ziling glanced at Fu Baizhi, then at Hua Yeyu, stood on tiptoe with a smile, and kissed Liu Jingmo's face.
"Mother, you just bring two beautiful sisters, Ziling wants to go up the mountain with them."
"Okay, let's take it, you two get in the car."
Hua Ye said: "..."
Fu Baizhi: "..."
