Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Double-Petaled Golden Lotus
Ah Huan took Linglu and them to Shangyu Realm, and after seeing his father-in-law, he took a few of them out of the main hall and walked towards the corner door on the east side.
When you go out of the corner gate, you can see a steaming natural pond at the bottom of the hillside, and the golden water in the pond is covered with white mist.
"Is there really a golden pool in this world?" When she was a child, when she listened to her uncle and grandfather, Linglu thought it was just a story that made her happy!
"Miss Ling'er, there is the Yu family's Earth Fire Heavenly Pool, which looks golden, but the petals of the double-petaled golden lotus on the shore fell into it." Ah Huan, who was leading the way in front, turned around and explained to Linglu.
"Earthfire?" Niu Chen asked after listening to him, looking at the pond water.
"My father-in-law only told me that the name of this pool of water is Earth, Fire and Heaven Pool, and as for why it can boil on its own, no one has ever told me, and I don't know why." Although Ah Huan has changed her clothes, her speech is still as real as before.
Niu Chen thought for a while and said: "Many years ago, the ancestor once told me about an ancient secret: in ancient times, after Gonggong angrily touched Buzhou Mountain, although the Red Emperor Huozheng Zhurong defeated him, Gonggong also broke a fire crystal of Huozheng in half and left it in the world. The Red Emperor sacrificed his treasure to track down, but the whereabouts of the fire crystal have been unknown. Could it be that the two halves of the fire crystal were lost in this secret realm of Yu Mountain? If it's half of the fire crystals burning underwater, where will the other half be?"
It's the first time Linglu has seen her brother Chen make up stories, and she still has a clear eye for making up, and she can't help but want to tease him:
"Brother Chen, when you see this pool of soup springs, you can deduce an old thing from ancient times?"
"Haha, Miss Ling'er, maybe you really let Gongzi Chen say it? Otherwise, tell me who is building a fire under such a large pool?" For the first time in many days, Lu Xiuyuan, who only cared about the double-petaled golden lotus, became excited, walked quickly past Linglu, ran to the edge of the heavenly pool, and did not forget to ask her.
"Sister Yue'er, come over quickly, I'll say it! As long as we insist, we will definitely find the double-petaled golden lotus! This flower ...... There are so many golden lotuses here! It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful flower! Lu Xiuyuan excitedly pointed to the golden lotus on the shore and shouted incoherently to Ji Yue.
Not only Lu Xiuyuan was excited, but even the well-informed Niu Chen was also a little surprised.
The golden spring in front of you is enough to make people staggering, and the plants growing on the shore by the boiling water are even more incredible.
These dwarf plants, densely clustered, are all horizontally rooted, and the roots also have persistent leaf sheaths.
The leaves are oval, the largest leaves are the size of a human palm, and the leaves are layered, with a sharp top and a round bottom, small at the top and large at the bottom, like a green lotus.
The fleshy pseudostem grows on it, less than six inches high, the golden petals on it are bright and delicate, directly born on the pseudostem, each petal is about an inch long, the membrane flap is clean and full, the outer lotus petal is pale golden yellow, and the more the lotus core is golden, the more intense.
Fragrant, delicate, yellow and green...... It also adds a delicate beauty to this golden pool.
"That's what it is...... Double-petaled nasturtium? Ji Yue walked to Xiuyuan's side.
"Sister Yue'er, it must be it, this lotus flower is exactly the same as the one painted on the fragment of the ancient book. Let's pick the flowers that are full, and it is enough to pick only five lotus cores. Lu Xiuyuan touched this one and flipped through that one, as if he didn't know which ones were more suitable for him to give Ji Yue medicine.
Seeing Ji Yue walking up to him, he whispered in her ear again, "How is it?" This time, my body is getting better, it's time for you Brother Lu and me to laugh happily. "In fact, everyone knows that Ji Yue is now very happy every day.
"This soup pool ......," taking the two golden lotuses picked by Ji Yue, Lu Xiuyuan looked at the tumbling pool water again, "This is also a good medicinal bath!" ”
"Although I don't know medical science, I often hear from my ancestor that some medicinal materials have a very good effect when taken internally and externally, and can achieve twice the result with half the effort. If you go in here and soak it, it is estimated that no matter how much cold you are infected, you should be able to get rid of it, right? Niu Chen and Lu Xiu have been staying for a long time, and they are getting more and more agreeable when they talk.
"What Gongzi Chen and Gongzi Lu said is extremely true, Ah Huan's cold illness has been soaked in the pool for several days, and it has been cured without medicine," Ah Huan also agreed.
"At first glance, I know that it is very hot, I have not been frozen to death by cold poison, and you still want me to burn to death! If you want to go in, no one wants me to come in here and take a medicinal bath. Ji Yue raised her head, pouted, and glanced at Lu Xiuyuan out of the corner of her eye, looking a pitiful look of gloom and resentment, showing the posture of a child.
"Otherwise, let's take the lotus core first and go back to Yue'er to make medicine. Later, I'll accompany Yue'er into here to soak and try the effect?" Seeing Ji Yue's aggrieved appearance, Linglu couldn't bear to persuade her anymore, and said this compromise solution, so no one put forward different opinions.
Lu Xiuyuan helped Ji Yue pick five lotus cores, and they went back to the front hall of Shangyu Realm together, and the servants sent by the Yan family had already prepared a meal for them.
After dinner, Linglu didn't plan to go to the soup pool at night, so she stopped Niu Chen and them: "Brother Chen, tell me, do we want to go to see the Yanliu Year Hammer Pill Race tomorrow?" Before they had gone back to their rooms to rest, she wanted to ask for everyone's opinions.
"This ......" Although Niu Chen has gotten along well with Yan Liuyu these days, he really doesn't treat Yan Liuqing's twittering sister very much.
"Gongzi Chen, Gongzi Lu, my father-in-law just called me over, and he wanted me to ask you to help me come out on top in the election of the Seven Evils after the Ice Washing Festival. Therefore, Ah Huan also wants to trouble you, and accompany me to Yan's house tomorrow to watch the battle and study. ”
"Brother Chen, Yan Liunian actually takes good care of me and Yue'er......" Linglu fiddled with the bib made by Mrs. Yan herself, although Yan Liunian has always been unforgiving, but there is a physical evidence, and his heart is still quite kind.
"Since Gongzi Yu ...... Oh, Ah Huan, you want to go too, that month, let's go with Miss Ling'er! When you come back tomorrow, you go over there to soak in the hot springs. ”
Ji Yue didn't want to soak in the steaming soup pool, and of course she wouldn't object to his proposal.
Lu Xiuyuan pushed Niu Chen: "Hey, Master Chen, together~?"
"Ling'er goes, I'll go. It's not early, let's all go back to our rooms to rest! Linglu didn't understand why Niu Chen suddenly looked a little unhappy.
On the second day, when Linglu and the five of them arrived at the ice frolic venue together, the brothers and sisters of the Yan family and the children of the family had already arrived.
Yan Liunian kept turning his head frequently, staring at the exit of the ice hill, and immediately slid over after seeing Linglu and the others appear.
"Miss Ling'er, Miss Yue, are you really here...... That's great! Thank you, I'm really happy today! The corners of Yan Liunian's mouth rose, and she was still a little excited, it seemed that she really regarded Linglu and them as good friends.
"Of course it's coming, I have to see, will the people we have been practicing with for a few days lose the game and admit it?" Linglu also learned her way of speaking, which was also a kind of pre-game motivation.
"Hehe, I won't let you down." She said, rubbing her hands together.
It turns out that there are times when I am shy.
"If you let us down, we won't be good friends! However, I'm optimistic about you! Ji Yue also expressed her willingness to accept her as a friend.
"Thank you, I'm really happy to be here to cheer me on today. In a moment, you'll just wait and see! That~ I'll go over and prepare first! ”
Yan Liunian was like a gust of wind again, and the "brush" slid back.
I don't know when, the rules were temporarily changed, and today the two of them are not playing in their own venues.
The children of the two sides who had tied up their skates all moved to the Jimo's field on the east side, near the left side of the huge stand, and Linglu and the others who were watching the game naturally followed them.
Although Xiuyuan and Ji Yue didn't tie up the Yan family's skates today, they blessed their spiritual power on their feet, sliding forward and backwards, and they had a lot of fun.
Linglu looked at her left and right, and her brother Chen still had a bitter gourd face, as if he had forgotten all the happy times on the ice frolic field in those days.
Ah Huan's face was even more solemn, although he was only close to the venue of Jimo's house, he was a little timid and didn't dare to see his family.
"Brother Chen, I also want to be like Ji Yue, you also learn from the son of Xiuyuan, like him, pull me in front of you, okay?" Linglu saw Ji Yue squatting on the ground, and Lu Xiuyuan took her hand and ran in front, which was very special. also wants Niu Chen to stop having a stinky face and play with her for a while.
"Ji Yue squatting and slippery like that, it's easy to fall, don't learn it, besides, it's not elegant." If he wants Niu Chen to be like Lu Xiuyuan, he doesn't care about other people's opinions, and just has fun and is happy, but he really can't do it.
"Hey! Brother Huan...... Are you going to pull me...... you?" From childhood to adulthood, only when he begged him, Ah Huan could enjoy the title of Linglu.
"This ......, Miss Ling'er, you taught me yesterday to adapt to the identity of the future head of the Yu family, which head of the family have you ever seen laughing and playing?"
"Stinky Ah Huan, before he became the head of the house, he put up a shelf!"
"Really not, Ling'er~ girl, or ......" He looked at Niu Chen.
"Forget it, you're all bored, I'll look for Yue'er." In order to avoid embarrassment, Linglu increased her spiritual power with her feet and trotted to catch up with Ji Yue and them.
Today, there are many people in the venue of Jimo's house, the door of the spacious lounge is open, and a long table is moved out of the door, on which are placed all kinds of fruit tea cups.
Qingya and Xin Yi were also in the crowd, and saw Linglu and a few of them coming over and walking out of the crowd.
"Sister Ling'er, you are welcome to come to my house to play." Linglu felt that she should have seen that Ah Huan was more familiar with her, so she would go straight over and take her hand and greet her.
Sure enough, without waiting for Linglu to finish her polite words, she walked to Ah Huan behind her again: "Brother Yu Huan, you go quickly!" Come on, my second brother is here too, and I'll introduce you two to each other. Linglu thought to herself: Her enthusiasm is indeed because of Ah Huan.
Ah Huan took a few steps and crossed Niu Chen, "Sister Qingya, I was thinking, how can you have the ability to allow them to compete at your venue, it turns out that your second brother is here......"
"Let's go, Brother Yu Huan, I'll take you to see my second brother now. Oh, yesterday it was Sister Mu who went to my eldest brother at home and wanted him to come to witness today's game, and the eldest brother was preparing for the Ice Washing Festival, so I begged Daddy to assign the second brother over. ”
Qingya stretched out her little hand, and gently twisted Ah Huan's sleeve with two fingers and pulled it, "Hurry up......
Ah Huan followed her past Linglu and walked forward, and did not forget to call her: "Miss Ling'er, you guys hurry up and come over together." ”
Although Ah Huan has a grudge against his father's family, the Mo family, and does not appear under his real name, he seems to like this little cousin.
Seeing her pull like this, it was very awkward, so she simply turned over her hand and generously pulled up her elegant little hand.
Linglu followed behind them, seeing that the expression of the little girl had changed from surprise just now to a shy bow of joy and joy.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you today?" Linglu waited for Niu Chen to come over, and also stretched out her hand, waiting for him to reply, and waiting for him to hold her little hand.
"Is it cold?" Sure enough, it was still her brother Chen, Niu Chen stretched out his hand and held her little hand in the palm of his hand, warmed her hands and asked.
"Hmmm......"
"Ling'er, we've been out for a long time, and when Lu Gongzi cures Jiyue's illness, let's go back early!" Niu Chen seemed to be a little bored with the ice frolic field.
"Well, it's all up to you." Linglu took Niu Chen's hand and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Qingya and them.
