Chapter 10: The Valley of Flowers

The Valley of Flowers, as the name suggests, is full of exotic flowers and plants because the valley is like spring all year round, and the butterflies and bees are also very busy. The Valley of Flowers is in the depths of the Gran Mountains, with a radius of about twenty square kilometers, with four cliffs, no entrance and exit, as if it is a giant water cup, the Valley of Flowers is the bottom of the cup, and the cliff is the body of the cup. There is a small river that flows from north to south, and on the south side of the valley of flowers, the river is said to have a cave flowing out of the valley, and because the cave does not discharge much, a small crescent-shaped lake is formed along the edge of the cliff.

On the northwest side of the Valley of Flowers, there is a small village with about a dozen households. In a wooden house in the village, a woman of about 20 years old is removing the stems of flowers from one basket and putting the petals and stamens into another basket, filling the house with fragrance.

"It's okay, I can't die." The old man's hair and beard were gray, but he was energetic and ruddy, and if it weren't for his hair and beard, it would not be too much to say that he was thirty or forty years old. "Falling off such a high cliff, if you don't die, it's a big fate. You go and boil some porridge, I feel that they are about to wake up, don't add any herbs, don't eat for too long, they can't stand it. ”

The woman replied, "Yes." After saying that, he went out with the flower basket.

"Don't ask them too much when you wake up, they're still weak, and you have to know what to say and what not to say." The old man admonished the woman who had just left the house.

The old man looked out the window at the flowers all over the ground, his face was heavy, the calm Flower Valley has never been an uninvited guest, although the two young people said that they fell off the cliff, but the old man knew that the Flower Valley could no longer be completely isolated from the world as before, and the arrival of these two uninvited guests was definitely not just accidental.

In another room, there were two beds, on which lay two young men, wrapped in gauze. It was Higg and the swordsman. The house full of medicinal fragrance, coupled with the fragrance of flowers in the whole flower valley, is a good place to recuperate. Another wisp of aroma wafted in from the door, but it was the woman who walked into the room with the porridge, and found that they had not woken up yet, put the porridge on the table and were about to go out, but found that one of the beds was moving slightly.

The woman hurriedly ran out, shouting as she ran: "Grandpa Tang, there is movement." ”

The old man hurried to the hut and followed the woman into the room.

The woman said first: "Grandpa Tang, it's the one who is more seriously injured, I saw his fingers moving just now." ”

The old man walked up to Higg's bed, flicked his eyelids with his fingers, and said with a smile, "He's hungry." ”

The old man's right hand pressed his palm on Higg's navel and rubbed it gently. Nahig's eyes twitched slightly, then opened slightly.

The first thing I saw was the old man, then the woman in the back, both smiling. I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but I couldn't.

"Don't talk yet" The old man smiled and put his right index finger to the center of his lips, then turned to the woman and said, "Feed some porridge first, be gentle." ”

The woman nodded with wide twinkling eyes, and took out a bowl of porridge from the porridge pot on the table, blowing as she stirred it with a spoon. After a while, it was estimated that the temperature was just right, and it was brought to Higg. The old man helped Higg to his feet, his left hand resting on Higg's back. The woman scooped a spoonful of porridge with a spoon and put it to Higg's mouth, Higg opened his mouth, took the porridge in his mouth and chewed it slowly, but his eyes kept staring at the woman.

This woman is different from what he has seen before, what is the difference, I can't tell, it seems that the nose is not so high, but the eyes are bigger and darker than others, a wisp of twisted black pigtails is thrown from the back to the chest, the end of the pigtail is tied with a small red velvet rope, and the handsome face seems to be like tofu made of water, which seems to be able to get out of the water as long as it is twisted.

After concentrating on feeding a few mouthfuls of porridge, the woman realized that Higg was looking at her, her face flushed, and she had to cough lightly.

Only then did Higg realize that he was abrupt, so he looked at the old man and asked softly, "Is this heaven?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Even if it is, of course such a beautiful place is heaven." ”

Higg looked around, and suddenly found that there was also a person lying on the bed on the other side of the room, it was the swordsman who fell down the cliff with him in his arms, Higg suddenly sat up straight, looked at the old man with vigilant eyes, and habitually touched his waist with his right hand, but there was nothing, "Can this guy also go to heaven?" ”

The old man still smiled and said, "Oh? Haha, should he go to hell then? Mistaken, next time, let him go to hell next time. ”

The bed on the opposite side seemed to hear the noise, and reacted, breaking open his eyes. The old man hurriedly stacked two pillows behind Higg and laid him down. Immediately walked up to the swordsman and gently helped the swordsman up.

The swordsman had also looked at Higg with hatred, but now he sat up and made a gesture of right-hand the guy, but he didn't get anything, and looked at Higg through gritted teeth. He hadn't been injured too much before jumping off the cliff, and his body was stronger than Higg, so he didn't wake up as weak as Higg.

The old man smiled and said: "Young man, it seems that you still don't understand, you are all people who have died once, heaven does not need hatred, if you want to fight, go out of heaven and talk about it?" ”

Higg looked at the old man and the woman and asked strangely, "I'm not dead?" ”

The woman sneered, a shallow small wine vortex appeared on her face, and said to Higg, "Have you eaten enough, there is another one over there." ”

The first time I heard this woman speak, the sweet voice made Higg's heart shake, and then he shook his head: "I'm still hungry, what kind of place is this?" ”

The old man continued: "This is called the Valley of Flowers, you fell from the cliff and fell into the Moon Bay, if Lan'er hadn't found you and rescued you in time, you would really have gone to heaven and hell!" Hehe, I don't have to waste so much medicine. ”

Higg quickly searched for his memories and found that when he fell off the cliff with the swordsman in his arms, his mind was still clear, and he lost consciousness after hitting the tree on the cliff wall, and he couldn't remember what happened next. Hey, why do you want to do so much, it's a good thing that you didn't die anyway.

Higg sat up straight and said with a smile: "Haha, I didn't expect that someone would try everything to kill me, but they couldn't even take away heaven and hell." Then he said to the old man: "Help, don't dare to say repay, my name is Higg, what is the name of Mr.?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "Young people don't fight, raise well first and then fight, just call me Grandpa Tang, her name is Lan Xian'er, she is your life-saving benefactor." ”

Xige looked embarrassed and said to Lan Xian'er: "May I ask Miss, who did you save first at that time?" ”

Lan Xian'er ignored Higg's playfulness, and said lightly: "It was Lei who found you, and he dragged you up to teach me, and when I see Lei, I'll help you ask who he dragged first." ”

"Oh, is that friend's name Ray? Where is he? ”

Lan Xian'er had already put down Higg, came to the swordsman's side, and then fed him porridge: "Lei is a big peng who lives on the cliff. ”

Higg remembered the big bird, and it was its accidental appearance that created the chaos at the time. But why didn't the bird save it before or after the cliff, and he had to wait until he landed before he made a move.

The old man seemed to understand Higg's doubts, and said with a smile: "Ray is the guardian of the Valley of Flowers, responsible for cleaning up the people and beasts that try to invade the Valley of Flowers. ”

Higg laughed: "It turns out that I was fished out of the water by Lei Dang's garbage!" ”

The old man said, "Okay, don't talk yet, heal your wounds, I still have something to ask you." After speaking, he beckoned Lan Xian'er to go out.

The swordsman didn't speak, drank a few mouthfuls of porridge to regain some strength, and just nodded to the old man and Lan Xian'er respectively.

Only Higg and the swordsman were left in the room, and the two looked at each other, without moving, as if they wanted to kill each other with their eyes.

Higg spoke first: "I know I can't beat you, but if you want to really fight for your life, you must die" Higg was full of confidence.

The swordsman looked at Higg coldly, and only asked, "Is what you said on the cliff true?" ”

Higg couldn't help but laugh at this persistent guy, "Really, what's fake?" You're pitiful than me! If you fail in your mission, you will die; If the mission is completed, your superiors will definitely kill you, and you will not be able to escape death. Hehe, but I'm at least alive, and so are you! Don't mention the past, in the eyes of your superiors, I am dead, and so are you! ”

The swordsman gently shook his body, "My name is Shante, and my mission is over. ”

"When the mission is over, your superiors won't let you go." Higg said.

"I owe only allegiance to Her Majesty." Shante said coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with Higg's constant disdain for being someone else's minion.

A few days later, under the care of Blue Fairy, Higg and Shante's bodies recovered quickly, and Hig knew that his body must have some clever healing methods to make them recover so quickly.

"You can go out for a walk, it will be good for your wounds. It's better not to talk nonsense, people here don't like people who come in from outside. Early in the morning, Lan Xian'er said.

Higg and Yamaji nodded, cleaned up, and walked out of the house. Lan Xian'er didn't seem to be at ease and walked out.

Higg stretched his waist, took a deep breath of the morning flower-scented air, and said, "Miss Blue Fairy, can you take us to the place where we fell, I want to go and see." ”

"It's too far, at least an hour's walk along the river, and there's no road." Blue Fairy said.

"It doesn't matter, I've already recovered. If it weren't for the fear that no one would feed me porridge, I would have run out a long time ago. Higrapi said with a smile.

"Okay, then go early and come back early, grandpa has something to ask you after the morning class."

Walking around the village, Higg saw that the villagers did not work in the fields in the morning, but some meditated in the clearing, some practiced swords under the trees, and some even posed in strange poses. "This is doing morning classes?"

"You'd better not ask about the affairs of the village, these people are very strange, don't provoke them." Lan Xian'er said warningly.

Higg touched his nose and stuck out his tongue and whispered, "Pretend to be mysterious!" ”

Lan Xian'er ignored Higg, and Shante gave him a blank look, and walked along the river towards the outside of the village.

On the edge of the village was a large field of farmland, and Higg swore that he had never seen anything in the field, but it was definitely not food, but flowers and plants. Higg didn't ask much, and knew it was useless to ask.

Along the way, Blue Fairy didn't talk to the two guys like the tour guide, but just let Higg and Shante look at this and that with surprised faces, and then look at themselves again, as if they wanted to ask but didn't ask.
