"Do you want to give me a ride?" Xia Qingyun caressed the snow leopard's thick back hair lovingly.

"Woohoo." The snow leopard grunted in its throat and wagged its tail in response.

Xia Qingyun smiled: "Okay, this is your territory, but your injury is just right, don't be tired." ”

The snow leopard waited for her to ride up and sit firmly, and with a force on her hind legs, she jumped up, spun around in the air for half a circle, and ran wildly in the direction of the Goddess Peak.

"Well, it's in the wrong direction!" Xia Qingyun grabbed the black and white hair on the snow leopard's neck and whispered in its ear.

The speed of the snow leopard did not decrease at all, and it galloped, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the foot of the Goddess Peak. The body is slightly sideways, the hind legs are slightly stubborn, and he rubs the ground and jumps onto the rock wall.

Even jumping vertically, the snow leopard didn't feel hard to carry Xia Qingyun at all, and his body flexibly jumped and climbed up by the protruding rocks on the rock wall.

The wind is whistling in the ears, like clouds driving through the fog.

"Cher, you're amazing!" Xia Qingyun lay on the snow leopard's back tightly, firmly hugged its neck, and didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing it, and fell off the cliff as soon as he stumbled.

The snow leopard is worthy of being a mythical beast on the high mountain, even among the steep cliffs, the speed is amazing, and it takes half a cup of tea to jump to the peak.

Unlike the snow-capped cliffs, there is no snow at the top of the Goddess Peak, and lush vegetation grows on the red earth in a radius of 100 zhang.

In the bushes, dozens of tea trees with shiny leaves glittered in the sunlight, and she recognized them at a glance, all of which were very rare tea tree varieties.

"Green Snow Buds, Huang Dan, Red Heart Tieguanyin, Narcissus, Yellow Buds, and Zhengshan Seeds!" She was both surprised and delighted, and looked at Yiqiē in disbelief.

How is it possible that all these tea trees are gathered here?

With these tea trees, at least more than a dozen kinds of excellent tea can be made!

Without thinking much about it, she walked around the tea bushes, picking the strongest branches to enter the Wishful Treasure Pavilion.

The snow leopard was lying on a stone at the top of the peak, squinting its eyes and basking in the sun, its tail flicking leisurely, it couldn't understand why Xia Qingyun was so fascinated by these branches and branches, and had to bow to the tree a few times before folding it off.

After collecting different varieties of tea trees, she did not rush to leave, but took out the red silk thread and made a Yingluo.

The rare tea tree at the top of the Goddess Peak is born from heaven and earth, moistened by the clouds, rain and dew, and the tea produced is a good health drink, if it can be promoted in the future, it will definitely benefit more people.

Hang auspicious cloud knots on each tea tree, one to thank God for mercy and protection, two to pray for good luck for yourself and your family, and three to wish the world all life can be healthy and safe.

After doing this, she came to the snow leopard, stroked its forehead and smiled: "Xue'er, I have to bother you to send me down, I don't want to stay here for the rest of my life to be a goddess!" ”

The snow leopard knelt on the ground with its two front paws, stretched its waist greatly, and then picked up Xia Qingyun again and jumped towards the edge of the cliff.

"Oh-ho!" Xia Qingyun screamed excitedly, the feeling of weightlessness was like doing a roller coaster, a few times it looked like it was about to hit the rocks, the snow leopard twisted his body slightly, brushed the corners of the rocks, and came to the bottom of the goddess peak in only a dozen breaths.

Xia Qingyun let out a long breath, with a flush of excitement on his face, and jumped off the snow leopard.

"It's so exciting!" She pressed her face against the snow leopard's head and rubbed it around its neck.

The snow leopard was tickled by her hair, broke free from her embrace, sneezed several times in a row, and shook the fur on her body, as if to say, "What is this, little meaning!" ”

It was time to separate again, Xia Qingyun patted its head, resolutely turned around and ran down the mountain.

Running all the way, he didn't even dare to look back, for fear that when he saw the lonely figure of the snow leopard, his tears would not help but fall.

She ran in front, the snow leopard chased behind, she stopped, and the snow leopard stopped, always a few feet away from her.

Walking through the meadow to the edge of the forest, Xia Qingyun saw that the snow leopard was still following behind, looking at her pitifully with big gray-blue eyes, stretching out her pink tongue from time to time to lick her nose, and her thick tail wagging gently, with a small appearance of "Please, take me with you".

"Alas! Cher, you are a snow leopard, if you go home with me, you can only live in the Wishful Treasure Pavilion, are you willing? She asked, crouching down and gazing into the snow leopard's eyes.

The snow leopard seemed to understand her words, and shook its head to her, its barbed tongue gently licking her hand.

"Well, actually, I'm very reluctant to give it to Xue'er." Xia Qingyun smiled, "Then let's catch some hares, pheasants or something on the road and put them in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion, so that you won't be hungry in the future." ”

One person and one leopard shuttled through the dense forest, and the small animals didn't know how to dodge when they encountered Xia Qingyun, so they were naturally pounced on by the snow leopard behind her.

It didn't bite these little animals to death, and it wouldn't even break the flesh and skin, so it let Xia Qingyun put them into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.

At the end of the day, there were more than a dozen squirrels, more than twenty hares and pheasants, a dozen goats and fawns, and seven or eight wild boars.

At dusk, she and the snow leopard returned to the Wishful Treasure Pavilion, caught two hares, washed them, and set up a bonfire to roast them.

The smell of roasting hares, the greedy snow leopard drooled, and was not afraid of the light of the bonfire, lying near the grill and licking its paws.

Xia Qingyun ate half of it, and threw the rest to the snow leopard.

Since eating the roasted hare, it refused to eat any raw food, and caught the rabbit on time every day and brought it to Xia Qingyun and asked her to roast it for herself.

When she passed by the waterhole the next day, she deliberately stopped for a while, wanting to wait for the giant python to appear. The snow leopard urged vigorously, obviously remembering the place very well, and did not want to stay for a moment.

With his father and mother taking care of him at home, and twelve skilled entourage guards from the Hua family, he was not in a hurry to go back for the time being, so Xia Qingyun took the snow leopard around the forest.

In a few days, she found a few wild ginseng, a few purple cloud tails, a few clumps of dendrobium, and a few hundred-year-old shouwu and poria cocos, all of which were planted on the Daqing Mountain in the treasure pavilion.

A lot of various wildflowers were also picked, and they were still on the grass by the Seven Star Lake, and soon they grew into a patch, blooming red, yellow, blue, and purple flowers of various colors, like a carpet full of flowers.

With them, a variety of medicinal teas and flower teas can be made in the future, with better and richer tastes, not only to strengthen the body, but also to the eye.

After five or six days, Xia Qingyun was still unsatisfied with leading the snow leopard on the way home.

When she came out, she was from the southwest to the northeast of the mountain behind Beixi Village, taking the northern route, and when she came back, she took a detour to the southwest, just passing by the two newly bought hills.

"Xue'er, from now on, you have to stay in the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion by yourself, I roasted a dozen hares for you, enough to eat for three or four days. I will come to see you every day, and I will bring Hua Yun Qiuyun and Hua Ling to play with you in the future, you are obedient, don't lose your temper! ”

She hugged the snow leopard and chattered for a long time before putting it into the Ruyi Treasure Pavilion.

On this long trip, Xia Qingyun gorgeously harvested a lot of treasures, and his steps became more and more brisk, humming a little song, like a lively deer jumping on the mountain road.

When she came to her own mountain, she stretched her neck and looked around for her father and Huayun.

Strange, the dew on the leaves has not yet dried up, and it is a good time to work if it is lukewarm, why can't anyone on the mountain see it?

I found a few bamboo sheds in a row, and there were some cooking things scattered in them, but there was no one.

Xia Qingyun muttered a little in his heart, could it be that Dad and Hua Yun have a holiday for everyone today?

I can't remember what festival it is today, and it's not the day of the polder, could it be that someone in the village has a happy event and has gone to drink the wedding wine?

As she walked home, she speculated.

As soon as she walked to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, a figure suddenly rushed out and dragged her into the bamboo forest.

"Sister Qingyun, it's me!" Hua Shu lowered his voice and said hurriedly.

"Flower trees? I was shocked, I thought I had met a bandit! Xia Qingyun patted his chest, opened his eyes wide and asked, "Why are you alone?" What about Hualing? ”

"Sister Qingyun, something happened at home!" Hua Shu shook her arm anxiously, "The people in the village have fenced off our house, Hua Ling and I sneaked out with Hua Eleven and Hua Twelve, hiding in the mountains just to wait for you to come back!" ”

Xia Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and sighed in his heart, "What's wrong?" Why are you surrounding our house? ”

"Sister Qingyun, I'll inform Hualing and them first, and I'll talk to you later." Hua Shu said, put his hand to his mouth, and learned a few partridge calls outside the bamboo forest.

After a while, Hua Ling, Hua Eleven, and Hua Twelve trotted down the mountain and burrowed into the bamboo forest.

As soon as she saw Xia Qingyun, Hua Ling's eyes immediately turned red, tears rolled in her eyes, she threw herself into Xia Qingyun's arms, and whimpered: "Sister Qingyun, you're back!" They, they bullied our family, and they even broke the godfather's leg! ”

"What?!" Xia Qingyun was shocked and grabbed Hua Ling's shoulder, "Hua Ling, what the hell is going on, tell Sister Sù quickly!" ”

"Woo, someone, someone is sick, they have to say yes, it's our family that angered the mountain god" The more Hua Ling cried, the more sad she became, and she couldn't cry.

"What the hell is going on, I'm dying!" Xia Qingyun looked up at Hua Eleven and Hua Twelve.

Hua Shiyi hurriedly said: "Miss Xia, you have just been gone for two days, and among the people who followed the master up the mountain to open up the wasteland, many of them started a high fever and played a pendulum. After being carried down the mountain, a few of them were still unconscious, and they looked like they were going to die. Within a few days, there were more sick people in Beixi Village, almost one or two in every family. ”

Hua Shu said: "They didn't say that it was because our family was clearing the wasteland in the mountains, which angered the mountain god, and the mountain god came down to destroy Beixi Village." The godfather reasoned with them, but he was surrounded and broke his leg, and it took them to finally drive away the crowd and rescue the godfather. But they surrounded our house, and they insisted on handing you over and sacrificing fire to the god of the mountain. Sister Qingyun, what can I do about this! ”
