58, mountain ghosts
Zhao Ling was so surprised, in just a quarter of an hour, the scene he saw in his eyes completely subverted his cognition. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test He didn't know that fireflies could be so obedient, and just in a flash, they could flood from all directions to light up the valley; He didn't know that there was a red leopard in the world, and its fur was as bright as cinnabar droplets; He didn't know that the tanuki could be so human, hiding wild fruits under their bellies and bringing them back to feed him.
Zhao Ling doesn't believe in God or Buddha, and he doesn't believe in anything that exists since he was a child. Now, he felt so ignorant.
Xiao Qingmei finished eating the wild fruit slowly, yawned a little, and the red leopard saw this, so he carried the civet out with him, and ran back after a while. Carrying a lot of banana leaves on his back, the civet stood on the banana leaves, and when he saw Lin Qingmei, he jumped to the ground, and the banana leaves fell.
Lin Qingmei spread a layer of banana leaves on the ground, and Zhao Ling said, "Is Mei'er going to sleep on the ground?" "The cave is damp and cold, and you get cold when you sleep on the ground. But now the conditions are difficult. I can only sleep on the ground.
"Don't sleep on the ground! It's cold on the ground. “
Zhao Ling rubbed his eyes: That's right! Isn't this banana leaf on the ground?
Lin Qingmei walked out of the cave, the peak here is not known how high, the red leopard carries her to leap flexibly in the middle of the mountain, Zhao Ling looked frightened, only to see the bright moonlight and fireflies, the little Qingmei stopped in the middle of the mountain. The clouds surrounded her, like a fairy walking on the clouds.
He saw that she had picked a lot of clouds like cotton and piled them on the red leopard, and when the pile was full, the red leopard came back alone, and the tanuki raised its front paws to roll the clouds down to the ground, and rolled them like a snowball onto the banana leaves. When the cloud catkins touched the banana leaves, they spread out lightly, and Zhao Ling was dumbfounded.
After so many turns, when the cotton wool on the banana leaves was three or four inches thick, the red leopard came back with Lin Qingmei.
Lin Qingmei found banana leaves to cover the clouds, and then beckoned Zhao Ling: "Brother Ling, it's time to sleep!" “
Zhao Linghu moved to the banana leaf suspiciously, and in the blink of an eye, the plantain in front of him turned into a brocade quilt, he reached out and pressed it, and the brocade quilt was extremely soft. Xiao Qingmei climbed onto the brocade quilt and said, "Brother Ling, don't you sleep?" “
Zhao Ling lay on the brocade quilt stiffly like a walking corpse, wondering: "How did the banana become brocade?" “
Xiao Qingmei was also very puzzled: "It's not changed!" This is what Mer did. "A brocade quilt made of plantain and cloud catkins!
The red leopard saw them lying side by side, lingering in front of the cloud quilt for a long time, it tilted its head to look at Lin Qingmei, Lin Qingmei smiled: "Brother Ling, Ah Leopard is Mei'er's quilt, and it also wants to sleep with Mei'er!" “
Zhao Ling immediately objected: "It's so hot, where can I cover the quilt?" “
Just now it was cold in the mountains, and now it's hot!
The red leopard did not listen to it, and climbed up the cloud quilt and crossed the two of them, its belly was very warm, and its soft fur covered them like a thick quilt.
Zhao Ling thought that he would be overwhelmed, but he didn't expect that this red leopard was as light as a thin blanket, extremely light.
The red leopard let out a very soft cry from its throat, and the fireflies in the cave flew out in an instant, and the light moonlight cast in, which was seeable.
Zhao Ling was completely sleepy, and the little green plum on the side yawned. Zhao Ling asked questions like a curious baby, and even if Xiao Qingmei was tired, she would still respond to him obediently.
Her temper is too gentle.
"How did Mei'er know this? Are you a god? “
Xiao Qingmei shook her head in a daze: "Because Mei'er has lived here for a long time!" Mei'er is not a fairy. “
"For a long time?" Zhao Ling wondered: Xiao Qingmei is only seventeen years old this year, since she was two years old and her parents died, Mrs. Lin has been living in Suzhou with her, until Lin Shangshu was ten years old when she was admitted to fame, Mrs. Lin moved to the capital to enjoy her old age, and did not wander between Hubei and Hunan.
Xiao Qingmei was extremely sleepy, she stretched out her hand to cover Zhao Ling's lips, and her voice was hazy and sleepy: "Mei'er has lived here for hundreds of years!" “
Hundreds of years? Zhao Ling became more and more sleepy. He removed Xiao Qingmei's hand: "Isn't Mei'er only seventeen years old?" “
"Yes!"
Zhao Ling: ?? How many years is it?
The little green plum beside her responded more and more weakly, and Zhao Ling looked through the light moonlight, she had already fallen asleep with her eyes closed, and her long eyelashes were covered like a feather fan.
The red leopard had long since fallen asleep, and the civet curled up at the end of the bed and snored. Zhao Ling thought alone for a long time in the clear moonlight, and fell asleep in a daze.
Zhao Ling slept very comfortably this night, but his spirit was extremely tired. He had dreams all night, strange and inexplicable things, and he had been exploring them all night.
After getting up, Xiao Qingmei took him to Shandong to wash, Zhao Ling saw that there were only towering trees and mountains outside the cave, and said in surprise: "How can I wash without water?" “
"It's windy!"
Zhao Ling felt that he must have heard something wrong, but when the mountain breeze came, Xiao Qingmei stretched out her hand to make a bath, grabbed a few wisps of wind from time to time and sent them to her mouth to rinse her mouth, and then gently spit out the turbidity.
She saw that Zhao Ling was only looking at her dumbfounded, and asked with a smile on her eyebrows, "Why doesn't Brother Ling wash up?" “
Zhao Ling shook his head in a daze: "Brother Ling is not an immortal, he has to wash with water." “
Xiao Qingmei laughed more and more: "Mei'er is not a fairy!" She stretched out her hand to catch a wisp of wind: "Brother Ling opened his mouth." “
Zhao Ling subconsciously opened his mouth when he heard this. Xiao Qingmei put the mountain breeze into his mouth and said, "It's like gargling!" “
Zhao Ling tried to rinse his mouth as if he had a mouthful of water, the mountain breeze was very fresh, and he collided between his mouths and teeth, wrapping the deposition of filth. He poured out the mountain breeze, and his mouth was very cool, and his breath was like an orchid, and his spirit was uplifted.
He was surprised and surprised: "Can you also do this with washing your face and bathing?" “
Xiao Qingmei smiled softly, caught the mountain wind and put it in his hand, and he carefully held it and applied it to his face. The mountain breeze spread gently from the center to his cheeks, sweeping away his exhaustion like a sweep.
"Isn't Mei'er really an immortal?" Zhao Ling was extremely skeptical.
Xiao Qingmei shook her head: "No! “
Xiao Qingmei is extremely eccentric, and she had to dislike him for being stupid if Dou Yanzhang didn't ask too much before. But Zhao Ling asked the same question many times, and she still answered softly and patiently.
Zhao Ling felt that he needed to digest it.
The morning sun rises, orange-red. The dewdrops on the treetops, blades of grass, and flowers ushered in the victory, and the crystal dewdrops shimmered, some fell, and some sublimated into clouds.
The clouds were thick, and the mountainside seemed to be entangled with Bai Lian. At night, the peaks are hideous, but during the day, its beauty truly blooms.
The trees are verdant, and the peaks rise and fall. Beautiful, majestic, upright, precipitous, everywhere ghostly. As the sun first appeared, everything awoke, birds chirping, wild beasts weaving through the trees, leaves swaying and rustling in the mountain wind, one after another, like waves.
The mountains are full of thick fallen leaves, and when you step on them, they are very soft, accompanied by the pleasant sound of crisp broken leaves.
Xiao Qingmei asked, "Is Brother Ling hungry?" “
Zhao Ling nodded, and Xiao Qingmei asked again, "What does Brother Ling want to eat?" “
Zhao Ling had the heart to joke with her, and wanted to confirm whether she was an immortal or not, so he said, "I want to eat the jade crumb rice eaten by the immortals." “
He was embarrassed by Xiao Qingmei, but Xiao Qingmei smiled and drove the red leopard out of the cave: "Ah Leopard, go and get the car here." “
Cart? Can you drive in this mountain? Zhao Ling was skeptical.
However, the red leopard raised his head confidently in his suspicious eyes, howled towards the sky, and jumped gracefully into the air, disappearing into the dense forest in an instant.
"You have to go a long way to eat jade crumb rice! Is Brother Ling hungry and hungry? Xiao Qingmei was afraid that he would starve him.
You have to endure hunger, Zhao Ling admonished himself. To satisfy his curiosity, physical torture is nothing.
After about a cup of tea, the red leopard came with a flat-headed car, and Zhao Ling was very surprised: just with a beast, how did it put the front of the car into it?
The flat-headed car is not made of wood as in the world, but is made of large bamboo as thick as a calf. One by one, the bamboo branches were cut off, and the trucks were laid out smoothly, with low railings on both sides. Xiao Qingmei pulled Zhao Ling to climb into the car, and the red leopard pulled the flat-headed car and drove slowly through the mountains.
The mountain path was rugged, Zhao Ling thought that this flat-headed car would be like walking on the ground, but he didn't expect that the bumps were no worse than ordinary people's carriages, and he was suddenly a little stupid.
Whenever Zhao Ling thought that the trail was at the end, he could always see the red leopard parting from the bushes in a desperate situation and finding a mountain path. He was surprised: "Ah Leopard's ability to find the way is good. “
The civet jumped between the treetops, the branches rattled, and it was said that it stopped at the branch and "meowed" twice, and was quite dissatisfied. Xiao Qingmei's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her smile was very sweet: "Because Ahri is leading the way in front!" Brother Ling said that Ah Leopard has great ability, and Ah Li is a little unhappy! “
Only then did Zhao Ling notice that the civet was always on the tree three feet away in front of him, and the more it went, the red leopard would turn wherever it went.
He sighed: "It's so human. “
If this wasn't raised by the gods, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed!
The carriage jolted for two quarters of an hour, and finally came to rest in a very small valley, about an acre in size, and very flat. Unknown flowers dot it, purple, like stars in the sky.
Xiao Qingmei sat on the ground, and the red leopard unloaded the flat-headed cart and rested beside her. After a while, the beaver took two banana leaves in his mouth, and the little green plum skillfully cut them and rolled them into a bowl, and Zhao Ling looked at them intently. I know she's going to transjure again.
When Xiao Qingmei handed the banana bowl to him, he was shocked to see that in his hand was a ceramic bowl, green and crystalline, the color of secret porcelain.
He didn't even see Xiao Qingmei chanting a spell, the bowl was a banana leaf in her hand, but it instantly turned into ceramic in his hand. He now wondered if his eyes were dying.
"Mer. How did this bowl come about? “
"It's not conjured! This is made by Mei'er, made from plantain leaves. Xiao Qingmei's eyes were very sincere.
"Yes, how do plantain leaves become ceramic?" Zhao Ling asked.
"It hasn't changed! It was Mei'er who made it. Mei'er wants a ceramic bowl, so she takes a ceramic bowl made of banana leaves! “
Zhao Ling: ?? What's the matter with wanting to beat someone? He lay weakly on the grass: Xiao Qingmei was too stupid to ask an answer at all.
Xiao Qingmei made herself a ceramic bowl and rubbed the remaining plantain poles. The plantain pole became a stick with a sharp end and a thick end, and Xiao Qingmei held the stick in her hand and dug on the ground, and after a while, she called happily: "Oops! This piece of jade was not snatched away! “
Zhao Ling poked his head to take a look, only to see a piece of green jade buried in the soil, mottled with mud on it, and asked, "Is this jade bi going to be used to make jade crumb rice?" “
"That's right! Jade crumbs rice should be made with jade! "Xiao Qingmei caught the mountain wind to clean the jade, and the dust and mud on the jade fell with the wind, and it was clean and warm after a while. Xiao Qingmei held it up in the sunlight, and the sunlight cast a green and transparent shadow on her face through the jade.
Zhao Ling was very curious: "Is this jade eating toothless?" “
Xiao Qingmei looked at him in surprise: "Will rice also be toothy?" “
Zhao Ling is crazy: Why is it so difficult to communicate with Xiao Qingmei?
He closed his mouth and looked at Xiao Qingmei with good eyes. Xiao Qingmei put the two ceramic bowls together, holding the jade bi in one hand and breaking the jade shavings at the edge with the other. The jade crumbs fluttered and fell into the ceramic bowl, tinkling, and Zhao Ling thought to himself that this time he had to see it and see how it turned into jade crumb rice.
However, after the two bowls were full, Xiao Qingmei put down the jade bi, and the jade crumbs in the bowl had become light jade crumb rice, just like the japonica rice in the land of Yan Zhao. Crystal clear.
Zhao Ling covered his chest, he had a bit of a myocardial infarction: Why didn't Xiao Qingmei avoid him at all, he still couldn't see through the heavenly secret she revealed?
Xiao Qingmei rubbed the stick, rubbed it finely, folded off two pairs of chopsticks, handed it to him, and said, "Brother Ling, eat quickly." “
Zhao Ling will be suspicious and take a bite of jade crumb rice. There is no imaginary tooth feeling, but soft and glutinous teeth, the mouth is fragrant, and a sweet fragrance that has never been tasted is full of mouth.
He feasted on it, a bowl of jade crumb rice was eaten cleanly, after eating he felt refreshed, relaxed, a feeling of lightness rose from his abdomen, as if he had been relieved of the burden of light gold. What a good thing!
He asked, "How did Mei'er know that there was jade here?" “
"There are sacrifices! This mountain belongs to Mei'er, and if the mountain people want to sacrifice to the mountain god, they will throw jade in the mountain, and no matter where they are thrown, Mei'er can dig it here. “
"And then Mei'er will use it to make jade crumb rice and eat?" Zhao Ling's eyes were envious.
Xiao Qingmei shook her head: "No! Mei'er has to collect jade to give to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will be assessed every year, if the number of jade sacrifices is not enough, Mei'er can't be a mountain god. But Mei'er's jade is always snatched away, so she has never been able to be a mountain god. “
Zhao Ling suddenly remembered that when he went to the Lin family to divorce Lin Yulan, Xiao Qingmei heard him say that the jade was "broken on the spot", so she said distressedly that she was very lacking in this, it turned out that the jade bi still has such a use!
"Mei'er is already a mountain god, this jade is for the mountain god, otherwise how could Mei'er receive it?"
"Mei'er is a mountain ghost." Xiao Qingmei said solemnly.
