Chapter 25: Crossing the Mountain

Since getting into the carriage and leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiuyao and Chuyun Chuya have not said a word. It's just that Chu Yun and Chu Ya sat beside Jiu Yao, but one of them held one of Jiu Yao's hands tightly and looked at the expression on her face with concern.

This car looks very inconspicuous on the outside, but it is built with a hundred years of agarwood, and there is a carved hollow sandalwood table on the car, on which are placed several copies of Jiuyao's favorite pastries on weekdays, all of which are carefully prepared by the prime minister's wife, but at this time Jiuyao has not even looked at them, just silent.

"Miss, don't feel bad, we are all unhappy if you are uncomfortable. Xiangfu is also my home with Hatsuyun, but we know that one day Miss will come back with us! Chu Ya finally couldn't help it, and choked up with her red eyes.

"I know, but I'm just miserable. I have been with my father and mother for seven years, knowing that we will have more time to get along in the future, but I still can't help but feel sad, I don't know what happened to me......" Her big eyes have completely lost the sparkle of the past at this moment, like a star that has been lit up for a long time but suddenly dimmed, staring blankly at a certain place, but her voice is calm and terrifying.

"Miss...... Don't do that...... If you are really uncomfortable, you can cry, don't hold it in your heart, you are like this, we are all distressed to look at it......" Chu Ya continued to comfort her, her voice was full of anxiety and worry, and even Chu Yun nodded vigorously.

"Okay, you two little girls go outside for a while, and I'll talk to your young lady." Old man Xiao, who had been squinting his eyes and lying on his back to enjoy for most of the day, finally spoke up, Chu Yun Chuya looked at him and then at his own young lady, nodded and walked out, and when he put down the curtain, he looked back at it with no worries.

"Girl, the master told you, in fact, your father and mother are also well-intentioned. Old man, although I am involved in the rivers and lakes and don't care about court affairs, I still have some brains. Your mother is the eldest princess, and your father is a high-ranking and powerful prime minister, one person is above ten thousand people, and as far as I know, your father also has a very good personal relationship with the current emperor. I guess your parents are doing this not only to keep you away from the center of the fight, but also to protect yourself in the future, and even more so to protect your entire prime minister's house. If you are a sensible child, cheer up and follow the old man to learn hard, depending on how far you can go in the future. After saying this, he spoke earnestly and eloquently, and after speaking, Old Man Xiao looked at Jiuyao with deep meaning.

For a long time, Jiuyao was still just alone in a daze, as if immersed in his own small world, Xiao Ji sighed: "Alas, I said that you girl, you usually look very clever, why do you ...... now" Before he finished speaking, he heard Jiuyao suddenly reach out and pinch a piece of chestnut flour cake and shook it and smiled at Xiao Ji: "Master, don't you like to eat it the most?" Would you like to try my mother's own pastries? If it weren't for my light, maybe you wouldn't be able to eat it if you want to! ”

Xiao Ji looked at her little face full of bright smiles, and was stunned for a moment: "Okay, you girl, okay, see if I don't finish your pastries!" After speaking, he quickly grabbed two pieces of pastry and stuffed them into his mouth, but his face suddenly changed and he shouted: "Water, I want water...... Choke me......"

"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha...... Master, let you rob me of food in such a hurry, you will be punished! Jiu Yao watched his master suddenly choke from his head to his neck, and laughed happily, Chu Yun Chu Ya was startled outside, and hurriedly opened the curtain and came in to check, and saw that a smile finally appeared on her face, and the two looked at each other and smiled, it was a pity for the beloved lovely master who was almost suffocated by the stuck......

In this short period of time, the carriage walked to the checkpoint out of the city, and Jiuyao finally looked back at the place where she had lived for seven years through the car window, and a gentle smile slowly appeared on her face, but no one knew that at this moment, she was more determined than ever before to be stronger......

After January, cross the mountain and descend the mountain.

"Miss, we've got it, after more than a month of traveling, I'm about to fall apart!" As soon as she got out of the car, Chu Ya held her waist and twisted her neck and complained without any image.

"But the scenery here is really good, I like it." After Jiu Yao looked around, he finally nodded and came to a conclusion.

At this time, it is early in the morning, the mountains in the distance are half-hidden in the mist between the winding and undulating faces, and the back of the dragon that looks like a dragon is hovering and lying prone in the vast world, and there is no end in sight, and the clouds and mist in the morning are fluttering and twisting, faintly like the dwelling place of immortals. And the early morning light revealed a bit of brightness and holiness, and the emerald color of the mountains and the flowers with crystal dewdrops showed vigorous vitality under its blending and polishing.

"Let's go, Yao'er, let's go into the mountain. It's finally time for your master and me to come to my place, so I can no longer be constrained and have a good rest! Old man Xiao stroked his big beard and took the lead in raising his feet and walking towards the mountain. The higher you go, the higher the mountain. Jiuyao only felt that this mountain was majestic, but he didn't expect it to be so steep and dangerous. The smoke and mist were as if they were stepping on a ladder at this time. Chu Ya had already hugged Chu Yun's arm tightly, and she didn't dare to look down.

"I tell you, don't underestimate this mountain. There are all kinds of rare birds and beasts and precious medicinal materials growing in this mountain, and almost all of my medicinal materials for making drugs and pharmaceuticals are taken here. Therefore, this mountain is also very dangerous, it took me nearly half a year to open up this trail, if there is no one to lead and do not follow the rules of ordinary people, trespassing into the mountain will definitely die. Therefore, you should not go down the mountain without permission on weekdays, and don't sneak around the mountain, otherwise I am afraid that you will only be left with bones before I can save you from such a big mountain. Old man Xiao carefully reminded the three girls as he walked, and he looked very jealous and careful.

"Thank you, master, I and Chu Yun Chu Ya will be careful in the future."

Finally, when the sun was rising, they finally saw a flat boundary far away on the mountainside, where several bamboo houses stood and a sheep intestine path led far to the end of the bamboo house, and behind the bamboo house was a whole dense bamboo forest, which blended with the overall mountain scenery.

"Master, is this the place? No wonder the world can't find you, it turns out that you have such ingenuity. But I really can't imagine that you, master, are so emotional! Jiu Yao looked at the bamboo forest and the elegant bamboo house, and couldn't help but laugh jokingly.

Su Zi once said, "I'd rather eat no meat than live without bamboo", but I didn't expect Xiao Ji, the old man, to be so uninhibited and uninhibited, and there was such a high level in his bones, which made Jiuyao suddenly change.

"Hey, don't underestimate your master and me, in the future, you will know how capable the old man is!"

"Okay, then I'll wait to see the master's skills." Jiu Yao heard that there was a smile between his eyebrows, but he was looking forward to his future life.
