Chapter Thirty-Seven: Lonely Xiao
"Yes, it does." Shen Yuan happened to be in a good mood, and replied slowly. Mo Yu Yuan told her about the origin of the concept of immortality, and at this time she told Sheng Qiuxiao: "It is said that when the previous dynasty was first built, there was a Taoist master who practiced here, and he was really enlightened by the immortals. Later generations envied and admired its immortal fate, so they gave it this name, and wanted to ask an immortal to touch the top and gain immortality. ”
"There really is such a thing in the world, does my sister believe it?" Qiu Xiao listened attentively, and looked back at the mountain gate stupidly, with a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he was looking at the support of this life. The sunlight and warmth shine on her without hesitation, like a layer of gold, and for no reason it makes people look transcendent and out of the world.
Shen Yuan looked at the momentum and pulled Sheng Qiuxiao's sleeve, but she didn't even realize it. Xu didn't hear Shen Yuan's answer, she talked to herself again: "Whether others believe it or not, I believe it, I always believe it." ”
"Girl! Miss Sheng, we have all fallen behind for a long time, and Madame should be in a hurry. In this way, even Crimson Moon and Scarlet Cloud saw that something was wrong, stepped forward and pulled away Sheng Qiuxiao, protecting Shen Yuan in the middle left and right. Qiu Xiao grinned, and began to feel that he was out of shape, so he reached out to wipe his tears and hurriedly followed. The road down the mountain is not easy to walk, it is much more difficult than when going up the mountain, Qiu Xiao did not speak again, silently followed at the end, and no one looked back at her.
In fact, this is a very good opportunity to get out, Shen Yuan thought, if Sheng Qiuxiao's various abnormalities today are because of his sentimental life experience and lamenting the injustice of fate, he really doesn't really want to make a living in Leng Xiang Pavilion, and he can escape quietly at this moment. As the small pavilion master of the Leng Xiang Pavilion, she knew that there was such a possibility, but she deliberately did not squint, and was willing to flood her kindness once and fulfill the other party.
But this time she miscalculated, Qiu Xiao didn't leave, and returned to a gentle and lovely state before going down the mountain, as if it was just an illusion before the immortal view. Shen Yuan was puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Mo Yuyuan in private, but her adoptive mother didn't think so.
"You kid, you think so lightly. Even if she has the heart to leave, where can she go without Leng Xiang Pavilion? What can be done? You, everything is good, but sometimes you can't turn around. ”
Shen Yuan was still puzzled: "However, she is so sad in the concept of eternal life, and she has been stunned several times, isn't it for this?" ”
Mo Yu was happy, touched the top of her soft hair, and said with a smile: "You are only allowed to be hypocritical, and you don't care about people for a few years, so you are not allowed to have anything in your heart, and you don't want to tell you?" ”
Shen Yuan pouted: "Where have I been hypocritical, isn't it that I have no strength and it's not easy to see people." Then he glued the ink mandarin duck and said: "I saw that she believed in miracles, and I thought that she was nostalgic for her life experience, so I hoped that there was a god who could bless her with peace and prosperity and a worry-free life." Before he finished speaking, he had already pinched his face lightly.
"There's a lot of thinking about this little brain, what do you care about her? It's not like you anymore. Don't think about it, come on, have a snack, your favorite crystal tofu. ”
Crystal tofu has a nice name, it tastes sweet and cool, and it is not difficult to make. Lychee seeds are kneaded into water into viscous glue, they will solidify when cooled, crystal clear like ice and snow, divided into pieces and put into the iced brown sugar water, and then add some nuts, red beans, hawthorn cakes, glutinous rice balls, bean flour glutinous rice cakes, etc., which is a bowl of good products to cool off.
The same is the craftsmanship brought from Qifeng's hometown, each person adds different ingredients, and the taste of the product is also different, just as Mo Yu Mandarin always tells to put some boiled soft white fungus, or unique flavor of acacia pollen, must put less cold cake, it is best not to put it, for fear that if you eat too much and do not digest, it will accumulate food; Shen Yuan prefers to add a few spoonfuls of mash, sweet and sour with a slightly drunken aroma, and a few small balls, but he doesn't like to put hawthorn cake, thinking that it will lose the taste; When Qifeng, there was an old mother at home, who always had to put a lot of red beans, boiled them sweetly and sandy, and put a piece of tangerine peel in the brown sugar water, which really had a different flavor.
As soon as Shen Yuan got his hands on it, he knew that the brown sugar water in his share had never been iced. She could only smile helplessly, with this body now, if it weren't for the heat in the Immortal Temple, Mo Yuyuan was afraid that she wouldn't even be allowed to touch this uniced one, right?
"I know you like it, if it's too cold, you can't eat more, it's just that it's not cold or hot, it's just right." Mo Yu smiled lovingly, and a few shallow fine lines surfaced at the corners of her eyes.
This year, the dragon lord was about to be extraordinarily generous, and he was still very sunny on the mountain, only after the afternoon, the sky began to be overcast, and a light rain floated in the evening, the rain was not big, but the wind was sassy and cool. Shen Yuan inexplicably felt sorry for the acacia tree, and suffered a lot of wind and rain in a row, and I am afraid that it will not bloom again this year.
If Miss Mingxiang knew, she would probably be sad about it. Miss Mingxiang loves this tree very much, but since she left, Shen Yuan couldn't find her whereabouts, and she always felt uneasy when she saw things and thought about people, and she didn't care about it anymore after quietly shedding tears once, and she didn't allow others to mention it in front of her. The tree was unattended, and it still bloomed every year, just like she was angry with Shen Yuan, she had to be stubborn and lively, which led her to come out and see herself.
"Miss, when I went to pass dinner today, Miss Sheng happened to be there, and she made a dish of rice cake and red bean soup, and asked the slave maid to bring one, please Miss try it."
Scarlet clouds spread the dishes and chopsticks, take out a small white porcelain lid cup, open the lid is the glutinous fragrance that comes to the nose, on the warm background, the surface of the freshly ground rice cake is slightly golden, so that people have an appetite when they see it. The weather is hot and cold repeatedly, ordinary people are still worried about it, and people like Shen Yuan who are afraid of cold and heat are even more restless, and it is comfortable to eat a bowl of hot at this time. Scarlet Moon saw it and casually added: "Huh? Miss loves to eat red bean balls, and the kitchen often makes them, but how do you make this rice cake and red bean soup? As he spoke, he took a closer look, "It seems to be much the same...... If Miss likes it, let's learn it too? ”
"Oh, you asked me," Scarlet Cloud was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and thought about it, "When I went, Miss Sheng was already ready and was about to leave." ”
Although the red bean soup of Sheng Qiuxiao was good, Shen Yuan did not call it a second time. The acacia in the front yard is still lush, but the flowers really can't be anymore, sparsely dotted in the canopy, but it looks abrupt, Shen Yuan simply ordered the kitchen, and picked it all down to make soup. In only four or five days, the tree will have only leaves left, which is more beautiful.
After eating the worry-forgetting soup for a few days, Shen Yuan's spirit was much better, and he no longer blindly slept and was sleepy. Two days ago, Mo Yuyuan mentioned that she intended to make a birthday for Qiu Xiao, and asked her if she would like to help with the dots. Shen Yuan was not interested, but when he remembered Qiu Xiao's expression that day, he suddenly softened his heart a little, and he agreed after a little groaning.
