Chapter 30: Surprise
It hadn't rained for a long time, and as soon as the sun came out after a long sunny day, it began to be a little hot and dry after a while, and the old horse was dragging the gurgling carriage on the cracked official road on the ground, bringing up a burst of choking dust, and there was no feeling of traveling at all.
The green leaves on both sides had already accumulated thick dust, and they looked lifeless, and even the wildflowers blooming on the roadside were no longer as delicate as the shy morning dew in the past, and the slightly rolled petals gradually withered.
"Miss, the South Lake is very beautiful, Uncle Guan's flowers are well planted, Xiaomeng will take you to see it for a while, it will definitely make you linger, that kind of red gardenia, purple locust flower, and blue peony, you must have never seen it..."
In the carriage, the fat girl tried her best to render Nanhu's novelty and beauty, but she couldn't hide the excited look on her face at all.
Qiao Yue pursed her lips and chuckled: "Really? If you don't want to return, then we won't come back if we go this time, okay, we will live in Nanhu for a long time..."
"Okay, okay!"
The fat girl blurted out, but when she rolled her eyes, when she saw Qiao Yue's ill-intentioned smile, she was pink and tender, her chubby cheeks were red to the roots of her ears, her head shrank, and she rubbed her fingers unconsciously: "Miss made fun of me again, everyone said, it's not what you think..."
"Which look? I thought about it? ”
Qiao Yue asked very seriously, stretched out her claws, pinched them on the fat girl's very fleshy arm with a @, and said: "Dead girl, if Nanhu is not as good as you say, hum... Don't blame your young lady, I'll beat the mandarin ducks when the time comes. Break you up with that Pu Xiaoyu alive..."
The fat girl pouted indignantly, and immediately shrank in the corner of the carriage and didn't dare to speak.
Seeing Qiao Yue, it was funny again.
Nanhu Lake is indeed a lake, but it is located on several high mountains in the south of Ningzhou City, which is very different from the lakes in other places, it is a lake formed by a canyon between several adjacent high mountains, and it is about 30 miles away from Ningzhou City.
The laughter in the carriage was always one after another, and Geng Huyuan, who was sitting on the wheel to catch the carriage, always turned his head from time to time to look at the carriage behind him, and then turned back with a smile and whipped the horse's back fiercely, and the old horse dragged the carriage slowly up the hill.
The higher you go. The heat that filled the air faded away. After turning a few mountain bends, the rumbling sound of flowing water is getting closer and closer, and when you lift the curtain, you can see a white waterfall in sight. Flowing water is flying. It's spectacular.
The moisture in the air is getting thicker and thicker. The feeling of heat that was ubiquitous in Ningzhou City disappeared in an instant.
A flock of cranes with white wings, long, thin feet, and a cluster of fiery red crests like the sun on their heads hovered over the waterfall. The chatter made people celebrate for a while.
The sun's rays were refracted from the cracks behind the mountain, shining on the waterfall with thick water vapor, and a large rainbow bridge immediately spanned the entire waterfall, making people feel a sense of ethereal calm.
The fat girl's head squeezed for a long time before sticking out of Qiao Yue's crunchy nest, and when she saw the crane bird, she said excitedly: "Miss, Uncle Guan knew that you were coming, and released a welcome bird to greet you!" ”
"Oh?" Qiao Yue's quiet thoughts were pulled back by the fat girl's words: "Know I'm coming? No way? ”
Qiao Yue turned around, the fat girl's head stuck out of the car window again, looking at the cranes and birds circling all over the sky, she suddenly laughed so much that her eyes couldn't see, and she danced and said: "Yes, yes, these are the welcome birds raised by Uncle Guan, and they will be released every time when a distinguished guest comes."
Look, Miss, they're in the air to welcome you, wow... It's beautiful..."
Qiao Yue was stunned, how could he know that I would come today?
glanced at the fat girl suspiciously, could it be that she told her in advance? But it's not right, I'm sure I came here today, and I only came up temporarily, who is this Uncle Guan.
I was puzzled, but I still looked in the direction of the fat girl's finger, this look, my heart was immediately shocked, sure enough, a large group of white crane birds that were still hovering on the edge of the waterfall just now formed a neat formation in the air, from her point of view, it was just a "welcome" word, it was really welcoming guests!
The carriage slowly moved forward, Qiao Yue looked at the crane birds in the air without blinking, until their carriage turned over a pass, just when they were about to disappear in front of this waterfall, they saw a white crane in the sky that was obviously bigger than other cranes looking up to the sky and neighing, and immediately flew towards the mountain with a large group of crane birds, and after a few breaths, all disappeared, very psychic.
Qiao Yue was shocked in her heart, and it was not strange that she would come today, there was a fat girl as a spy, and it could be explained to some extent, but to be able to train this group of crane birds to be so obedient, this method was much more clever than the methods of those gods and sticks fried evil ghosts in Shenzhaotang, and she inexplicably began to have new expectations for Nanhu's line.
The carriage went up, and turned a few more bends, and it was still less than five miles from the top of the mountain, and the top of the mountain suddenly turned, and there was another deafening rumbling sound, but listening to this sound, the waterfall here could not be compared with the one they had just seen.
Walking here, Qiao Yue asked Geng Huyuan to stop the carriage, the higher he went, the more charming the scenery on the mountain was, since he came out to play, he couldn't just pass by.
There is a big pool on the side of the road, and the water of the waterfall should flow out of the South Lake, and the drop here is only about ten zhang, and the splashing fog is much smaller than before.
The green waterhole, just walked to the water's edge, a burst of cool water vapor rushed to the face, the waterhole was full of green water celery, people who have eaten wild vegetables know that the water celery at the beginning of spring is the most tender, just need to boil it in the clear water and scoop it up, dip it in the chili oil dish, it is an appetizer that is both delicious and rice.
However, at this time, the water celery is no longer suitable for cooking, and the bunches of small orange flowers crowd the edge of the entire waterhole, which looks beautiful.
Qiao Yue bowed slightly and picked it up and held it in her hand, and when she retreated, she accidentally wet her dress by the splashing pool of water.
The fat girl didn't come forward to help, just stood next to her and giggled.
Qiao Yuebai glanced at her and was about to speak, when a big splash splashed in the center of the waterhole.
Qiao Yue jumped to the side in one step, and hurriedly looked back, it turned out that there was a silk line in the middle of the pond that caught a big red carp of more than ten catties.
Fishing, what about people?
Qiao Yue looked left and right for a long time, but couldn't find anyone fishing, and was puzzled, the fat girl next to her smirked and pointed her hand to the top of her head.
Heavenly?
Following the direction of the fat girl's finger, Qiao Yue looked up, and sure enough, there was an angler wearing a hat sitting on the top of the mountain at least fifty zhang high from them. (To be continued......)
