Chapter 70: Garlands
Crossing the peak and out of the valley, Yan Xi'an has been waiting for a long time.
Yan Xi'an asked Lu Yu: "Has Xiding passed?" Is he okay? ”
"It's okay, it's just a little cold at the top of the mountain." Lu Yu saw that Yan Xi'an was also wearing a summer thin shirt, and said, "It's really cold on the mountain, do you still want to go over?" ”
Yan Xi'an hurriedly said: "Of course I have to go over, I'm not afraid of the cold." ”
Lu Yu thought about it, took off his coat, and said to Yan Xi'an: "Then you put on my coat, in case you catch a cold, it won't be good." ”
Lu Yu thought that Yan Xi'an would not wear his coat, or at least he would have to excuse himself before accepting it. But unexpectedly, Yan Xi'an took the coat from Lu Yu's hand with a smile and put it on himself.
Yan Xi'an smiled: "Dress up, you carry me quickly." ”
Lu Yu's heart moved, and he bent down and let Yan Xi'an lie on his back. Then he also tied himself and Yan Xi'an together with hemp rope.
Yan Xi'an was attached to Lu Yu's back, the girl's body was still slightly immature, and a pair of white jade-like arms were wrapped around Lu Yu's neck, which made Lu Yu couldn't help but feel fluttering.
"Uncle, it's time to go." The breath that Yan Xi'an exhaled when he spoke sprayed on Lu Yu's neck, making Lu Yu feel crispy and itchy in his body and neck.
Lu Yu said "um", walked quickly to the foot of the mountain, turned back with his left hand and gently supported one of Yan Xi'an's legs, and then jumped hard, and immediately flew dozens of feet high......
After entering the valley, before the rope was untied, Yan Xi'an was already shouting with joy. The grass and trees in the valley are green, the stream is like a serpent, and it is not cold or dry, warm and pleasant, Yan Xi'an likes it here at a glance.
Lu Yu didn't see Yan Xiding, and after untying the rope, he shouted "Yan Xiding".
Yan Xiding answered in the distance, and when Lu Yu was not there, he ran to the stream alone.
Seeing Yan Xiding running over happily with a small fish, Lu Yu asked in surprise, "Is there a fish here?" ”
"yes, quite a few." Yan Xiding was originally smiling, but after seeing his sister wearing Lu Yu's coat, he said with a bitter face: "Uncle Da Yu, you are eccentric, and you don't give me clothes to wear." ”
Lu Yu patted Yan Xiding's head and said with a smile: "Then you go to catch fish again, try to get a few more, and we will grill fish here at noon." "The last time Lu Yu stayed in Green Valley, he didn't take a closer look at whether there were any fish in the water.
Yan Xiding immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I'll catch it, I'm good at catching fish now......"
Lu Yu said to Yan Xi'an again: "Xi'an, go help Xiding, I'm going to be busy for a while." ”
Yan Xi'an asked curiously: "Uncle, what are you busy with, don't you want to farm here?" ”
"I really have that idea, but we have to open a way to the outside first."
"What are you going to do now, uncle?"
"Go and hit the tunnel!"
Lu Yu walked around the valley, trying to find a hidden place to set up the teleportation array. There were several caves in the valley, and Lu Yu found a slightly deeper cave and decided to arrange the formation here.
The climate in the valley is warm, and the stream is even warmer, so Yan Xi must have taken off his clothes and jumped into the stream to flutter wildly. The creek was shallow, and Lu Yu was not worried that he would be flooded, so he had been concentrating on arranging the teleportation array in the cave.
It is not an easy thing to set up a formation, not to mention the extreme consumption of mana, but also to patiently and meticulously build the foundation of the formation. Originally, the formation required a lot of auxiliary props, but Lu Yu didn't have any of these things, so he could only rely on his own mana cultivation to arrange them bit by bit. It's just that in this way, it is inevitable that some things will be half the effort.
It didn't take long for Lu Yu to feel that the mana consumption was huge, and his body was also exhausted.
Out of the cave, lying on the grass to rest for a while, Lu Yu saw that it was already noon, and thought about getting some food for the sister and brother. It's just that Lu Yu is not lightly tired, and as soon as he lay down, he didn't have the strength to get up for half a day.
At this time, Yan Xi'an walked over with his hands behind his back. She saw Lu Yu lying on the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lu Yu reluctantly sat up and said with a smile: "I'm a little tired, just take a rest." ”
"That's good. Uncle, you were digging in the cave just now, do you want to dig through the cave? ”
Lu Yu laughed, didn't answer, and asked again: "Xi'an, are you hungry, Xiding caught a few fish, let's grill the fish." ”
Yan Xi'an grinned and said, "This is not busy, I have something for you." ”
"Give me something? What? ”
Yan Xi'an walked close with his hands behind his back, with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, and said to Lu Yu: "Uncle, you close your eyes, and then I can give you something." ”
Lu Yu was curious, and he didn't know what Yan Xi'an wanted to give himself. But he still closed his eyes tightly according to the words.
"Keep your eyes closed, don't open them."
"Don't open it."
Lu Yu noticed that Yan Xi'an was approaching him, and then he felt a slight sinking of his head, and he didn't know what Yan Xi'an had put on his head.
Then Yan Xi'an said, "Uncle, you can open your eyes." ”
Lu Yu opened his eyes, and Yan Xi'an was sitting in front of him, looking at himself with a smile on his face. Lu Yu raised his hand and was about to take off the thing on his head to take a look, but Yan Xi'an said, "Uncle, you are not allowed to move, I want Xiding to come over and take a look." ”
Lu Yu was obedient and didn't take off the things on his head, saying that Xi'an had already called Xiding over.
Yan Xi fixed his hand and carried the two fish, ran over, glanced at Lu Yu, and exclaimed, "Uncle Da Yu, why are you wearing a circle of grass on your head?" ”
"What grass? It's a garland, stupid. Yan Xi'an glared at his younger brother, and then said to Lu Yu, "Uncle, you can take off the garland." Yan Xi'an was full of interest and knitted a wreath for Lu Yu to wear, and called Yan Xiding to come over to "appreciate", who knew that the kid didn't know how to appreciate, and actually used the wreath as a grass ring.
"Aren't all wreaths the same, look at me and catch a few more fish, let's hurry up and make a fire to grill fish."
Lu Yu saw that Yan Xi'an seemed to be a little unhappy, took off the garland and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "This garland is very good, and it is also very beautiful." "The garland is delicately knitted, and the turquoise body is dotted with dozens of small flowers, red and yellow, and the distribution is very even.
Yan Xi'an glanced at his younger brother, snorted, and laughed again.
The three of them picked up some dead branches in the woods, Lu Yu lit a fire, and the three of them dressed grass carp with fresh branches and roasted them on the fire.
Lu Yu and Yan Xi'an grilled fish for the second time, and the two of them didn't have any expectations for the taste of this grilled fish without oil and salt, so Yan Xiding waited for the fish to be cooked with great interest, and couldn't wait to eat a big meal.
After being busy for a while, Lu Yu was actually a little hungry, and after the fish was cooked, although there was no taste, he also ate half of it. Yan Xi'an didn't eat after a few bites, Yan Xi'an actually ate his own portion, and even the one that Yan Xi'an didn't finish was also put into his stomach.
Yan Xi'an asked him, "Is this fish delicious?" ”
Yan Xiding wiped his mouth: "It's delicious, it's so delicious, I'm going to take a few back and bake it so that our parents can taste it." ”
When Lu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but think: "This kid really has no conscience. ”
After eating, the three of them prepared to go back, although it was still early, but it was too far away from Yangshan Village, Lu Yu was afraid that it would be too late to go back, and Yan Jibai and his wife would be worried. As for the teleportation array, it was still very early before the arrangement was completed, and Lu Yu planned to do it alone in the future.
Send Yanxi out of the valley first, this time Lu Yu remembered to put on his coat first, and then brought his coat in after sending him out of the valley, lest this kid say that he was biased.
With Yan Xi'an on her back, just before she was about to leave the valley, Lu Yu put her down again. Yan Xi'an looked puzzled, and Lu Yu said that he forgot to take something in the valley.
Lu Yu walked through the woods, ran to the grass, found the grass ring that Yan Xi'an had woven and brought it back. Yan Xi'an saw Lu Yu coming back with a grass ring, and said with a smile: "Uncle, what are you still holding this thing for." ”
Lu Yu smiled slightly, thinking, "This is the first gift you gave me, will I not cherish it?" But he said, "This garland is very well braided, and it's a pity to lose it here." ”
Out of the valley, Lu Yu led Yan Xi'an and his sister and brother to fly through the woods again, jumped over the boulder, ran all the way, and returned home before dark. With Lu Yu's current cultivation, he shouldn't feel tired when he runs back and forth twice, but because of the huge cost of setting up the formation today, after returning home, Lu Yu's heart is beating extremely fast, he is panting, and he is not lightly tired.
After resting for one night, Lu Yu's lost mana had recovered the next day. He didn't go out that day, but helped Mrs. Yan get the vegetable garden and sprinkled some vegetable seeds he had bought before.
Lu Yu planted a few grape seedlings under the grape trellis last year, but unfortunately because of the continuous drought and extreme cold in the past two years, the grape seedlings have long died. Therefore, Lu Yu plans to buy a few more plants next year and plant them, take good care of them then, and try not to let the seedlings die again in cold and hot weather.
Yan Xiding had nothing to do at home, ran in front of the house and behind the house, and then plucked Lu Yu, saying that he wanted to raise fish in the backyard pool.
It's not the season to lay fry, and besides, there are no fry to go. Yan Xiding was extremely bored, he really didn't know what to do, he was bored for a long time, and then told his parents and Lu Yu that he wanted to go to the town for a walk.
All three of them said in unison that they were not allowed. Now that it's so chaotic outside, Yan Xi definitely wants to go out alone, which is absolutely not allowed. Lu Yu saw that he was bored and uncomfortable, and suggested that he follow Lao Gao's son and study with his father.
Yan Xiding shook his head and said, "I would have known the words my father taught him a long time ago, so I didn't learn them." ”
Lu Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Then you come to open a vegetable garden with us, the yard is so big, I am going to open a few more squares and order a variety of dishes." This is not Lu Yu's deliberate perfunctory, he really wants to make use of the yard as much as possible, even if there is not enough food at home, it is a good thing to be able to use vegetables on top.
Yan Xiding shook his head again: "It's not fun to grow vegetables, and now you can't grow tomatoes or cucumbers." ”
Lu Yu's heart moved, and said: "Next spring, I want to plant some watermelons in the yard and plant a few fruit trees." Lu Yu remembered that Yan Xi'an said that he liked to eat peaches and plums, and Yan Xiding said that he liked to eat watermelon and oranges. He's going to plant them next year.
"It's still a long time before next year, and what if there's still a drought at that time?" Yan Xiding lowered his head again and muttered, "I want to go into the valley to play." ”
