Guangming Villa is very large, with countless courtyards. Due to the large number of people, Xiao Ying and the others were placed in a three-entry compound Chenxi Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, a small servant came to report that there was another distinguished guest in the villa, and Wu Yun instructed him to hurry up and call for peace to greet him.

Wu Ping'an is Wu Yun's daughter.

Xiao Ying said: "Visitors from all directions, there are many things, the master of the Martial Alliance should be busy, there is a little maid here." ”

Wu Yun smiled and said how could she snub the distinguished guests, Xiao Ying said that the daughter of the rivers and lakes didn't care much about these, not to mention the helplessness of these entertaining and entertaining people, she also had a deep understanding and understood very much. Seeing that she was so considerate, Wu Yun accepted her kindness, and at the same time thought that he was afraid that because he was a generation different from her in age, it was difficult to have a common language, so he planned to go to meet the others himself, and replace Wu Ping'an to accompany him.

I didn't know that there were too many guests, and they seemed to have made an appointment to step on a little bit of time, and they couldn't pull away, thinking that the young master of the Xiao family seemed to be a reasonable person, so they gave up in desperation.

Chu Han sat at the table in his room, closed his eyes and unfolded the speculum mirror method, and explored the entire Guangming Mountain, including the villa, clearly, and saw that in addition to the Guanxiang faction, the Nanshan faction, the beggar gang, etc., there were also the famous Huangshan faction and Shuli Pavilion.

The reason why the latter two places are famous is that in addition to their martial arts being superior, there is another reason.

There is a kind of flying bird on the Yellow Mountain where the Huangshan faction is located, shaped like an owl, with a blue feather, a red beak, and a tongue like a person, called a parrot, can learn to speak, convey the message with the mouth, it is better to use than a carrier pigeon, it is very magical, but the Huangshan faction has never sold this bird to the outside world, and no one can go up to the Yellow Mountain to arrest it, so this rumor is just a rumor, no one is fortunate to see the true face of the bird, and no one is fortunate enough to raise it to use it.

The water flowing out of Shuli Mountain, where Shuli Pavilion is located, is rich in white pearls, and the series of pearl whitening powder and other products are specially supplied to the emperor's harem and high-end classes such as officials and wealthy merchants, which can be said to be very rich. If there is money to throw into it, the martial arts of the disciples in the pavilion will naturally improve rapidly. However, it is said that in addition to the expatriates who specialize in taking care of business, the other people in the cabinet are in the mountains, or making things to make money or practicing martial arts, and the same as the Huangshan faction, although the two families are thousands of miles apart, they never go out of the mountain. The leader of the alliance sent an invitation, I am afraid that he did not have the slightest hope that this faction and a pavilion would send people, but today they all came, which made Wu Yun so shocked and overjoyed that he almost lost his sense of proportion.

Chu Han frowned slightly, puzzled, even if the Moon Lotus Sect, which had infiltrated the south, really commanded the disciples to attack the Central Plains, I was afraid that they would not have the ability and courage to fight the idea of the Huangshan Sect and the Shuli Pavilion, but now that they were here, what were the considerations? What is the purpose?

It seems that on this trip to Bright Hills, the water is deeper than imagined!

After sitting for a while, a servant presented two large plates of ice and a glass of cold drink.

Speaking of ice trays, it is impossible not to mention the cold drinks of the ancients.

As we all know, the ancients did not have refrigerators to cool food and make ice, so the government stored a large amount of natural ice and snow in the ice cellar in winter, and once summer came, the rich people bought ice cubes or snow and placed them in the living room.

When the ice and snow in the ice tray melts, it will constantly emit cool air, and the cooling effect is no less than that of today's air conditioners, and it does not consume electricity and does not pollute the environment. During the economic boom of the Song Dynasty, the cold food was renovated, and the folk also appeared cold drinks with juice and ice.

In the Yuan Dynasty, because the Mongolians loved dairy, they mixed fruit juice, dairy products and ice and snow together, and this cold drink was the prototype of ice cream. Later, Marco Polo brought this way of eating to Europe, and after improvement, it became today's ice cream.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, ice was a luxury that ordinary people could not enjoy at all. Even the emperor and the princes and ministers could only enjoy the coolness when the ice was celebrated on the first day of the fifth month. On that day, the royal ice cellar was opened, and the emperor would reward princes, ministers, and people of merit with some "ice tickets". After the Taihe Hall dispersed the early dynasty, the ministers would not go home immediately, and they were all looking forward to the ice truck in the Xuechi Hutong of the East Gate of Beihai Park to transport the ice to Shenwumen as soon as possible, and then receive the ice from the ice cellar with the "ice ticket".

The Ming Dynasty writer Li Mengyang's "Ice Car Travel" recorded: The Yellow Gate flies to the northwest, and the white horse is like a dragon's blood like a pearl. Tens of thousands of people shouted for the ice cellar to open, and the big cars and small cars came like mountains.

From the beginning of the Wanli year (1573) to the discontinuation of use in 1979, for 406 years, from the first day of May to the thirtieth day of July every year, the royal tun ice was continuously sent to the Forbidden City and the six departments for the emperor's relatives to cool down. Until after the Xinhai Revolution, when Pu Yi was the "little emperor of the closed door" in the Forbidden City, the Xuechi Ice Cellar continued to supply ice to the palace for several years.

In the otherworldly Fenglin country, the martial arts gate faction or people with money and heart usually spend their own money to dig and build ice cellars, and in winter let the disciples or the people in the mansion transport clean ice cubes for summer enjoyment.

Baiyun Mountain Villa has a natural ice cave because it has a big bargain, so there is no need to bother to make a homemade ice cellar.

Of course, this kind of benefit can only be enjoyed by people in the Central Plains and northerners, and many people have never seen snow in their lives because they do not see a single snowflake in the hot south because they do not see a single snowflake all year round.

Picking up the juice with ice cubes, Chu Han glanced at the fat and short little guy and said, "Don't send these cold things to Xiao Gongzi's room." ”

The short and fat little guy answered, and when he turned around, he quietly looked up at the woman sitting on the top seat, his cheeks were red, and he ran away in shame.

With so many people coming to Guangming Villa, the luncheon gathered together was very lively. But Chu Han didn't like this kind of excitement, Xiao Ying couldn't, and at the same time, he didn't worry that his younger brother would not have her to take care of him personally, so he pulled Ren Tianyou and himself.

Before the meal was served, Wuwu, Qiu Yin, Qiu Chan and others all surrounded Qingqiu, because the last time he said that the knowledge of survival in the wild was not finished, Qiu Yin kept thinking about it, and he was really free at this time, so he repeated the following questions for her to answer. Of course, wanting to be with Qingqiu and listen to her is one of the biggest reasons.

Qingqiu didn't accept the cup of cold drink he handed over: "What is the taste of you for me?" ”

As he spoke, the smile on his face could only be understood by those who have been in love.

Qiu Yin's face flushed, but she still took a sip, and when she handed the cup to her again, her voice was as thin as a mosquito and a fly: "It's delicious." ”

Qingqiu took it, spun the cup, specifically looking for the place where his lips had touched just now, and looked at him meaningfully while drinking water, the blush on Qiuyin's face immediately quickly spread to the root of his ears, and the corners of his mouth when he lowered his head were slightly curled even if he couldn't sip it even hard.

This interaction, others can't see it, but Qianyu, who wants to hear her say about the young master, can see it clearly, and she has a little envy for Qiuyin in her heart. But after touching the colorful jade hanging in his heart, he thought of the priceless treasure Zhuyan Pill, and gradually became sweet.

Qingqiu glanced at Qianyu out of the corner of his eye, naturally knowing his thoughts. The people who know the young master best, except for the palace master and the master's husband, are her and Qianruo, who can now hear what the young master has said from her mouth, how can they not want to hear it?

She cleared her throat and began to speak: "The young master once said that in terms of how to discern the direction in the field, there is another way, which is to know the way back. ”

Looking at the few people who were listening attentively, she continued: "The young master said that in the deep mountains and dense forests, not only will you lose your way, but you will also lose your path. Walking in the uninhabited forest path, without leaving any road signs, when you realize that something is wrong, you are already in danger and do not know where the original path is. At this time, people are in a hurry, usually want to swing a knife to cut a bloody road, but often find that there are mountains and peaks in front of them, and the road when they come is not clear at all. Some people are hesitant to leave or stay for fear of getting lost again. ”

Several people nodded again and again, in that case, I am afraid that it is indeed such a contradictory psychology.

"Actually, under normal circumstances, when you find yourself lost, you are only a quarter of an hour away from the original path. At this time, don't be in a hurry, let alone shout and run. Calm down, then carefully recall the springs, stones, trees, water streams, caves, mountain peaks and forks you just walked by, and then use your memory to find the footprints, and then you can return to the original route. ”

Qiuyin Qiucicada has not been in the dense forest and deep mountains, and he listens as attentively as Qianyu, and at this time he has some understanding.

Qingqiu looked at the two of them, and his face became serious: "The following method is for people with low martial arts, you two don't have martial arts, and you have to listen carefully." ”

The two of them looked strange, and quickly nodded.

The feasible method mentioned by the young master is to immediately analyze the direction of the mountain and the environment of the geographical landform after getting lost, and then judge whether there are wild animals, and find the traces of their walking, and walk out of danger along the animal path. However, it is necessary to maintain a very high level of alertness to avoid being attacked by wild animals or being injured by traps and traps set by some hunters. ”

"In general, there will be animal paths in the saddle or ridge. Whether it is in the mountain forest shaded by trees, or on the slope of the grass, you can not find the road trace when you look down closely, only from a distance, you can vaguely see the traces of a grass branch slightly oblique, the grass blade slightly tilted, and the leaf back slightly turned, and then from far and near, from near to far, far and near after comparison, you can distinguish the road. ”

This detailed explanation made even Qian Yu nod slightly. Although he was also in the mountains, he had been immersed in practice, and he didn't even know how big Tianyu Mountain was, what it looked like, and what animals and plants it had.

Qingqiu gently held Qiu Yin's fingertips and sighed: "If there is a martial arts and light skill like the young master, where do you need to guard against wild beasts and be afraid of animals?" Qiuyin, don't leave me too far in the future, if you want to go to the mountains and forests to play or find something, you must let me know, even if I can't go with you, at least if you don't come back for a certain period of time, I can know where to look for you. ”

Qiu Yin said softly, "I will." If you don't have time, we won't go anywhere, so you can rest assured? ”

As soon as Qianyu saw this, he beckoned to Wuwu and took him away.
