Chapter Forty-Seven: The Ice and Snow Castle
Although this is a difficult wonderland, it is also a great place to take refuge if you have nothing to do. It's just, who would be so kind? How can the castle, which "Ah Lu" has painstakingly managed for thousands of years, be so free for people to enter and leave at will? Don't think about it, you should wake up after a few times of that kind of dream, it's not as easy to mix up here as the Spirit Rhino Country. Although, there is only one fairy in green who really has to face.
Perhaps because she was the only one, someone quietly challenged her authority, and someone in the team probably thought that she would die left and right, and actually got along with the fairy's maid.
"Let's go, don't come to me again in the future, and don't tell the outside world everything I have here! Otherwise, even if you are not in my woods, I can kill you on the spot! If you don't believe me, you can go out and give it a try! ”
Are you really leaving? Everyone collectively looked at Ah Lu blankly, as if they didn't understand her words. But looking at the sadness on her face under anger, it seems to be real.
"If you want to leave, it's too late, though I won't get you back. But I can't guarantee that the outside is safer than mine, let's go, although I also want to go outside, but I can't leave here, how can there be no owner here? If I leave here, there will be people who will come and cut down the forest without restraint, and how can I let them do whatever they want? ”
In this way, Ah Lu took a green leaf slide and took everyone and the handmaid who betrayed her to the castle of her neighbor and sister, the Ice Empress.
"Welcome to our Empress's castle!"
She was greeted by a slender woman who claimed to be the Empress's intimate handmaiden. She is also the steward of this castle, and seeing her smiling, she doesn't seem to have any malicious intent. Because before coming, Ah Lu had warned them, "If she can take you in, you will be lucky, if not, you should not think about returning here." Because with her personality, she could destroy you on the spot at any time. Since you insist on leaving. Isn't it too ungraceful for me to keep it? ”
Fortunately, Hans left all the results of his research in the forest garden to the fairies, and she had a moment of happiness, maybe this moment could help everyone survive here in the ice and snow.
"Why not take it away? Even if it's a bottle? Isn't she not allowed? Xiao An didn't understand why Hans had given all his hard work to Ah Lu.
"No, her conditions here are different from those outside. It's hard to keep these scents after you go out. ”
"Oh."
"Don't feel sorry for me, I'll just think I'm practicing there, and there may not be such good conditions outside! So, I don't regret it at all! ”
It was harder than it was to get Hans to give up his favorite perfume, and it was rare to see him chasing girls like other boys in school. All day long, only the head of the door is studying and researching, and Ricky and Ricardo are not close to women. Xiao An looked at him, thinking to himself how he knew such a peerless good man.
Of course, there is José, if he hadn't had those things, he would still be a good person at heart.
By the way, Marta, she doesn't know what to do now, we're a bunch of people now, and she's just herself. Have you already returned to the team or have you been kidnapped by someone?
"Is this lady unaccustomed to us?" The housekeeper saw Xiao An, who was frowning, and asked intimately.
"Oh, no, no, no, it has nothing to do with it. However, you're really a snow castle here, everything is white! Xiao An looked around at the white surroundings and responded.
"Yes, it's all white, but I'm sure there will be something that will attract you, and I hope you can enjoy your life here! It's just that our empress easily doesn't like to come out to meet people. Please forgive me for this! ”
"Well, it doesn't really matter, the most urgent thing for us is to be able to get back as soon as possible. Anyway, the empress is not as lively as the green fairy before, and it doesn't matter if she has our presence or not. So, can you tell us a way to get out of here and go back to our old lives? ”
"I'm sorry, we are actually the same forest here as the fairy in green, if you want to leave, at most, send it to the other party! But. Our empress is already quiet, except for those who don't refuse to be sent by the fairy in green, she rarely takes the initiative to pull people. So, so far, no one who has ever been here has ever left this place! ”
Yes?!
Now the whole is stupid again.
"When you come, our empress will entertain you, and when you leave, we won't stop you, but we will definitely not show you the way!"
When they arrived at the housekeeper's accommodation for everyone, recalling what she said, everyone began to be depressed again, "Do you want to be ready to die here of old age?" When will I be able to go home? Alas. ”
"Aren't we still alive! As long as we live, there are infinite possibilities, and maybe one day we can go back safely from here and write all these experiences into a book! Ricardo said that it was probably because Sandra was always by his side, and no matter what difficulties he encountered, his days were still full of sunshine.
"You're so optimistic, I really admire how you adjust yourself! Considering that after we came out of the Golden Country, we only stayed at the ranch in Mary Woods for a few days and then started this comfortable but restrained journey again, alas, could it be that you enjoy life here very much? Otherwise, where else will you have the courage to inspire us? ”
"Well, let it be!" Hearing others ask him this, Ricardo smiled a little embarrassedly, in fact, he also knew that if there was no "sunshine" of Sandra, his heart would not be so steady. So he couldn't help but look at Sandra again, and before she could take a look at him, he glanced elsewhere.
Ricardo followed Sandra's gaze, oh, it turned out that she noticed Ricky, who had been depressed all along, and he stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders from behind: "Don't worry, Marta is kind and clever, nothing will happen!" It's you, you have to take care of yourself, otherwise, when you meet one day, people will be as white and moisturized as ever, but you are very sloppy and unshaven now! ”
After hearing this, Ricky was moved to say something, but he couldn't say it for a long time, and the more anxious he was, the more difficult it became, and at last a bunch of tears burst out of his eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ricardo patted Ricky on the back and comforted.
When it was time to eat, everyone was led to the restaurant by the housekeeper.
"These are ——?"
Everyone looked at the white dining table and couldn't help but wonder.
"It's snow ice porridge, ice carved fruit basket, cranberry ice pastry, crystal caviar, clotted pork minced, fragrant white shrimp jelly, Arctic cold ......" listened to the housekeeper proudly cherished a number of treasures, but everyone really had no appetite, although they were all hungry.
Everyone didn't expect that everything here was white except for transparency, and they didn't even want to eat it. And I don't know if it's because of the abundant water source, the goddess's dining table is almost all made of her ice water, tsk, there is really no smell of fireworks at all, and even the tableware is made of special ice, even if it is roasted by fire, there is no fear of being melted.
Xiao An took a look at the ingredients on the table: soy products, dairy products, white shrimp, white fish, white meat, white wine, white juice, sushi is wrapped in bean skin, even the seasoning can not see other colors, everything is very light. She pulled over the nearest fruit bowl to see what fruit was inside, how it could be all white: well, it turned out to be some peeled lychees, and some other peeled fruits.
"Ah, I really didn't expect to be able to eat fruit here, is this our own here or imported?" Xiao Ann asked jokingly.
"Yes, we have a white orchard here, and everyone is eating varieties that can only be produced here!" The butler's expression was proud.
"Hmmm! Don't say it, it tastes really authentic! Come on, everyone try it! Xiao An tasted it and thought it was good, so he called on everyone to hurry up.
"White vegetables," Ricardo tasted, "the taste is almost the same as the outside, if not better, and I'm afraid I'll not get used to it!" ”
"Please rest assured, because of our special climate and environment, crops such as grains, vegetables and fruits will grow for many years, so the taste will definitely be better!"
"Well, then, wouldn't there be enough food?" Someone asked.
"It's not a worry because we have enough farmland. And most importantly, we don't have that much to consume! But even if there are more, you shouldn't be afraid! Big deal, there's also the forest of fairies in green! The butler said.
"Thank you Empress for your hospitality, we are all grateful. It's just that we've never tried to face such a large table of cold food, so there is no hot food? "There was a protest.
Also, these foods are bubbling with air, not heat, which can be eaten as food.
"Yes, please wait a minute." The housekeeper looked at everyone and smiled and stepped back for the time being, probably thinking that it was too difficult for everyone. ”
After a while, the iced treats were replaced by white expanses, but they were finally hot. Xiao An took a look, it was mostly white shrimp tofu soup, milky clams and other soups, seafood is very rich, but even the seaweed is white. This empress, I don't know why she is so fond of white, even if she lives in the Ice and Snow Kingdom, she doesn't have to be so extreme. However, the hot dish that was replaced this time is very intimate, and it is indeed the taste of the past, which is good. Well, don't say it's here, even the Lingxi Kingdom can fry sweet and sour dumplings, not to mention Ah Bai, who is a goddess.
"This is the food that the Empress specially collected from some other places in order to take care of everyone! Please use it slowly! ”
Xiao An is okay to say, anyway, she usually relies on these soups and waters. But the boys were very troubled: "This soup has white oil flowers, which looks very tempting at first glance, but when you look at the white of the table, you really have no appetite at all!" Forget it, be content, it's good to have a hot meal! ”
The tall butler looked at the group of people at the table, either enjoying or helplessly solving the "white vastness" of the table, turned his head, and smiled secretly. (To be continued.) )
