Chapter 427: Overnight in the Apricot Grove
Qiu Yu's relaxed expression contained some hidden worries.
If you want to cut corners, you have to take some risks.
In normal times, they still have some confidence. It's a difficult road, but it's okay to be careful.
However, there are already people who have their eyes on them.
If the other party doesn't want Lin Mengya to succeed in their quest for medicine. Here, there will be a fierce battle.
"It's better for me to tell Guo Ye in a while, let's leave in advance. I don't want to implicate the caravan, if their target is just me, as long as I'm no longer in the caravan. They should, and won't, get out of the way. β
At dusk, passing by the apricot blossom forest, you will see the difficult mountain road. At its narrowest, only one car can pass through.
And below, there is a cliff. However, what is even more dangerous is that in the mountain stream, from time to time there is a strong wind blowing up.
Not to mention people, even horses will stagger.
This is the reason why most people will not choose this natural risk.
If a caravan passes by, with the help of carriages and chains, it can pass through this place without danger.
If there were only three of them and three horses, it would have been a bit dangerous.
"Well, I'll go and say. I think Guo Ye should understand. β
Qiu Yu also nodded, after all, the caravans were just civilians of some merchants. There is no need to involve innocent people.
Looking at Qiu Yu's back, Lin Mengya exhaled softly.
"Nervous? I'll protect you. β
Long Tianyu was gentle but firm, holding Lin Mengya's little hand. In the light of her eyes, there was a sense of security that made Lin Mengya a little cautious.
Nodding, she doesn't know why, she will always believe that Long Tianyu will definitely do what she says.
Qiu Yu, who had already discussed with Guo Ye, quickly turned back.
Guo Ye is a human spirit among the human spirits, of course he knows that these people are extraordinary. So, the trouble is extraordinary.
Guo Ye agreed, but he said that at night, the wind would be greater. Therefore, he will take the caravan to rest in the apricot blossom forest for one more day. Let's go back the next day. β
This is the biggest concession that Guo Ye can make for them.
Lin Mengya looked in the direction of Guo Ye and nodded slightly to express her gratitude.
The caravan traveled all the way, and soon arrived at the apricot blossom forest that Qiu Yu said.
Before I walked in, the quiet smell of a while snorted into my nose.
Compared with the cold aroma of plum blossoms that do not eat fireworks in the world, this ordinary apricot blossom is more like the little sister of the Lin family, which only makes people feel cute and amiable.
I'm afraid that even the national hand can't do it, and use thick ink and color to depict one-tenth of the scenery in front of him.
Large patches of pink and snow white, connected together without any gaps. It is like a hill of apricot blossoms, endlessly.
If it weren't for the apricot blossoms all over the mountains, who would have thought that there would be a moat behind that could kill people?
"Everyone, rest in the apricot blossom forest ahead!"
Wenshi's rough voice sounded, and everyone responded in response.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dark, they went to the apricot blossom forest in front of them to find a suitable place to build a pot and stove.
Lin Mengya rode a horse and went to the front with Long Tianyu to investigate.
The road was not difficult, but seeing with her own eyes, the dangerous place like the Great Rift Valley in Africa, Lin Mengya still swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"No wonder, although the national strength of the Kingdom of Lintian is not as strong as other countries, but for so many years, no other country has come to attack."
Seeing it with her own eyes, Lin Mengya could only sigh at the miracle of the creator.
"Of course, the Kingdom of Heaven is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and only one side is connected to the mainland. However, this rift valley only leaves two passages in and out. β
Even if it was suppressed, there was no uneasiness in Qiu Yu's tone.
Lin Mengya didn't bother to ask him, if by now, she couldn't guess that Qiu Yu was from the Lintian Kingdom, then her head could be kicked as a ball.
However, it doesn't matter if it's the people of the Lintian Kingdom or the people of the Jin Kingdom. At least they're friends who support each other, and that's fine.
"Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the strange soldiers take the two passages in and out, the people of the Heavenly Kingdom will not be able to retreat?"
Long Tianyu just couldn't get used to Qiu Yu's triumphant appearance, if this was in Kyoto, he would definitely arrest this guy as a meticulous work and interrogate him.
But Qiu Yu was not angry, shook his head, and said:
"Why do you think this place belongs to the realm of heaven and earth, but there is no one to live? It is because Lintian Kingdom is surrounded by water on three sides, and every family has a boat, and everyone is a good hand in the water. If these two places had been occupied, the people of the Kingdom of Heaven would have gone to bed and run far away. No matter how good you are, can you still sail on dry land? β
Qiu Yu's words choked Long Tianyu in a daze, and the two of them were not convinced by each other.
From military geography, to disputes to the national economy and people's livelihood.
Lin Mengya looked at the two cockfighting people and couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
They're all adults, so they're just like children who haven't grown up.
Squinting his eyes, he looked at the other side.
Although this was her first time in the Kingdom of Heaven, for some reason, she felt a little longing for the other side.
From his bosom, he took out the plum blossom copper seal.
If she didn't guess wrong, this thing must have something to do with her mother's life experience.
Qiu Yu also said that most of the nobles of the Lintian Kingdom will use plum blossoms as their family symbols.
If, if nothing else, this should be her mother's homeland.
Anyway, in her body, there is also one-half of the blood of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Therefore, although it is the first time to come, there is no strangeness at all, but there is a sense of excitement hidden deep in the blood.
The worries that lingered in my heart seemed to disappear at this moment.
I really don't know what kind of changes this trip to Heaven will bring to my life.
Thinking of this moment, she was still looking forward to it.
"Let's go, it's windy, be careful of catching a cold."
At the end of a battle, Long Tianyu's eyes were full of pride after the victory.
Let Long Tianyu take the reins and return to the apricot blossom forest together. And Qiu Yu, who was temporarily at a disadvantage, was behind his back, muttering quietly.
On the handsome face with mournful eyes, the five big words 'Young Master Ben is unhappy' are obviously written.
"You guys are really, you're all such big people, can you not do such childish things?"
Lin Mengya really couldn't see it, when they were in Kyoto before, the two of them were fine.
Why, as soon as I got out of Kyoto, my IQ regressed and I became two naΓ―ve ghosts.
"He provoked it first, of course I can be generous and tolerant, but this matter is a matter of national prestige. As the third prince of the Great Jin Dynasty and Prince Yu, I naturally can't back down in the slightest! β
Long Tianyu's face was serious, and he was very serious.
Cut! Lin Mengya took a sip of Long Tianyu in her heart.
is obviously a naΓ―ve ghost, so he has to find a high-sounding reason for himself.
There were many people in the caravan, and after a while, the smell of food wafted throughout the apricot forest.
The fireworks in the world, coupled with this rare spectacle, even Lin Mengya is also rare and elegant.
I got off the horse, found a place where the petals were piled up, and rolled around.
rubbed the scent of apricot blossoms all over her body, but she didn't know her child-like behavior, but it made the entire caravan smile and bend their eyes.
"Little Brother Yuan, you are all married, what's the matter, like a child?"
After a few days, everyone knows that this kid is sometimes aggressive. But for his own people, he is a good-natured master.
And because he is young, there will always be some lively personalities who like to make jokes about him.
He didn't get angry, smiled kindly, and it passed.
At this time, Lin Mengya, who was rolling up from the pile of apricot blossoms, smiled mischievously, and then snatched the wine jug from the man's hand.
"What? Angry, so want to pour my wine? This can't be done, I'm left with this idea of wine, hey, little ancestor, what are you doing? β
The man chased after Lin Mengya to ask for it, but unexpectedly, she reached out and grabbed a handful of apricot blossoms from the branch and stuffed them into the wine jug.
Seeing that the man was in a hurry, he shook it vigorously, and then put it on the side of the man's mouth with a smile.
"Taste it!"
The man was not pretentious, took the flask and took a sip.
Unexpectedly, it was originally a hot and bitter spirit, but because of the spice of apricot blossoms, the taste felt much clearer.
The taste of sorghum, combined with the fragrance of apricot blossoms, is unique.
"Hmmm! This wine is good! Little Brother Yuan, thank you! β
The man was satisfied and found someone to show off, leaving Lin Mengya, still non-stop, picking apricot blossoms.
"What are you doing with these things?"
Long Tianyu didn't know what she was paying attention to, but was pulled by Lin Mengya, using a pair of hems to carry the petals she swept down.
Seeing that it was about to be unable to fit, Lin Mengya took the confused Long Tianyu to the cooking stove.
I washed the rice into the pot myself, and then, washed the apricot blossoms with water, and went to the pot with them.
"I said little brother Yuan, this rice, but we carried it a little bit. Isn't it a bit of a waste for you to do this? β
Wen Shi didn't understand what Yuan Lin was going to do, so he frowned to stop it.
But Lin Mengya was stirring the porridge in the pot with a big spoon, and explained:
"This apricot blossom is also a medicinal herb. It has the effect of replenishing and invigorating qi and dispelling wind and circulation. Especially good for the skin, I'm for our daughters. You big men, go to the side! β
Except for Qiu Yu, everyone didn't expect that this seemingly useless apricot blossom could still be used in medicine.
So, I had to stand aside and watch.
The sun is sinking in the west, and the simple meals made by everyone are out of the pot.
Everyone sits on the ground, thanks to this apricot blossom forest, whether it is white rice or fried vegetables, or pickles, a few petals of apricot blossoms will fall with the wind.
It adds a bit of poetry, although most of the caravan is rough people, but it also feels novel.
Lin Mengya and her group also occupied a position, of course, the most conspicuous position was the apricot blossom porridge made by Lin Mengya.
