Chapter 259: Autumn and Summer
This bump lasted for about half an hour before the carriage settled down, and Lan Yue wanted to open the door, but the door was locked from the outside, until there was a muffled loud noise in the distance, like the sound of a hundred birds flying in the jungle.
Lan Yue was wondering what the noise was, when he saw Sanban open the car door, Lan Yue went out all of a sudden, looking fierce as if he was going to eat people, Sanban was busy protecting his head, and jumped out by himself.
The meteor, which had been covering his mouth, suddenly threw himself out of the carriage and retched repeatedly. Lan Yue didn't care about teaching the three petals a lesson for a while, and hurriedly fed Meteor a few mouthfuls of clean water.
Meteor patted his chest, and finally recovered, but his face was still a little pale.
After the last carriage carrying sundries entered the cave, a dense rain curtain was woven outside the cave in an instant, and the time was just right.
Lan Yue pursed the corners of his mouth, and saw that Sanpetal scratched his head, but he also looked apologetic, so he was angry.
Meteor looked inside the car and asked Song Zhi, "Madam, are you okay?" ”
Just this way, Song Zhi hugged the soft blanket in her arms tightly, she shook her head, smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's quite interesting." ”
"Huh?" Meteor suspected that he had heard it wrong, and was asking again, so he heard Song Zhi say, "It's nothing." ”
Meteor didn't ask any more, and looked up to see Lan Yue looking up blankly, not knowing what he was looking at, so he asked, "Lan Yue, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lan Yue turned around, her face stunned and ignorant, she pointed to the top of the cave and said, "Stars." ”
Song Zhi didn't know why, so he also got up to investigate, and looked up to see that the roof of the cave was full of bright starlight, especially the sky above the fire, which was even more starry.
"It's diamonds." Song Zhi said very indifferently, and asked the entourage around her who was sighing to look at her instantly.
"Diamonds? Oh Luo Danguo will use it to make jewelry, do we have it here? Sanpetal asked curiously.
Song Zhi saw that he was well-informed, and he was obviously not just a coachman, so he said: "The use of this diamond as jewelry by the country of Ho Luo is probably also due to the helplessness of their country without gold and jade. The diamond is full of coarse grains up close, and it is not very beautiful. So even if there is, no one mines it. ”
Shen Baiyan came not far away, and happened to hear Song Zhi's words, jumped into the carriage and said to him, "How can Madam even know such things?" ”
"I have nothing to do, and I have read a few books written by warlocks from the previous dynasty." Song Zhi glanced up again, and said to Shen Baiyan: "It is said that this diamond is extremely hard, and the sharp point can break steel and iron." ”
Song Zhi's unintentional words left a slight fluctuation in Shen Baiyan's heart, and he smiled at Song Zhi and said, "Madam, the tent has been set up on the high place in the cave, and the fire has been set up, you can get off the carriage and lean into an oblique slope." This storm is quite strong, and I am afraid that I will not be able to leave tonight. ”
Song Zhi wanted to get out of the carriage cautiously, but was hugged by Shen Baiyan and flew directly to the tent in the depths of the cave.
Su Shui stood on the edge of the tent, was looking around, and saw Shen Baiyan and Song Zhi coming, so he said to the two of them: "Lord Wang, although the bats and birds in the cave were expelled with a cannon, this cave is huge, and we came in in a hurry, and there will be some fish that slip through the net." ”
Shen Baiyan nodded, signaling that he knew, Song Zhi leaned on his shoulder, and said softly: "It's strange to say that this day is also strange, such a big rain cloud actually said that it would gather." ”
The couple was unhappy and turned their heads to look at the situation outside the cave, the wind outside was very strong, and they mustered up enough strength to blow the rain into the cave, Song Zhi saw Chazhi and Rosin Xiang from a distance, and they were slowly climbing to the high ground with the help of the two girls who looked at the eyes. Lan Yue also flew over with a meteor.
At the entrance of the cave, five or six strong men were struggling to pull up a huge piece of oilcloth, and two of them were so good at their light work that they walked on the wall as easily as a flat-bottomed step. When the lower right corner of the tarpaulin was about to be tied to a sharp stone, Cuo Lu hurried back with a few people, and he was actually in front of a huge stag on his shoulder, and he shook his head and shook the water, like a long-haired water dog.
When the people below saw this stag, they shouted excitedly a few times, so it was not lively.
As soon as the tarpaulin was covered, it was a little darker and a little more peaceful. Su Shui set up a fire in the tent, and the tent was lit with oil lamps, but it was not dark at all.
Everyone was talking and laughing outside, and Song Zhi couldn't sit still in the tent, so he sat next to Su Shui and Shen Baiyan on a flat boulder, watching the people below scrambling to support the boiler and make a fire.
Killing chickens and fish is common for rosin, but for such a big deer, she used all her strength to swing the knife and cut it down, I'm afraid she can only cut an inch of flesh.
Cuo Lu naturally didn't ask Rosin to do it, so he called a few men to clean up the deer, and it was clear four parts in a while.
Deer blood, venison, antlers, and some offal were reserved for a few people who loved to eat offal.
Rosin Xiang had a little confidence in her heart, there were several large buckets of clean fresh water in the car, and Rosin took a large pot out to cook the deer bones, and skimmed off the blood foam with a spoon until the soup was clear. She suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a small wild onion outside the cave, so she walked to the cave and lifted the oilcloth slightly to get out.
"Girl! What do you do? Several men said in unison.
After Rosin explained the reason, one of the square-faced men said, "Just say it!" How can a girl's house be exposed to the rain and cold? ”
The man went out with great skill, and it seemed that he was also a practitioner, and he came back in a short time, holding a handful of tender wild onions.
This person is naturally also a secret guard under Shen Baiyan's hands, at the same level as Cuolu and Water Chestnut, called a camel. He was dug out of the sand pile when Shen Changxing went to the western border one year.
Rosin took the wild onion, shook off the rain on his head, and pulled it into several sections at will, at this time Forsythia lifted the lid of the pot, sprinkled a handful of salt into it with the wild onion, and lifted the lid for a while, and the aroma drilled into the noses of the people around him like a hook.
Even the man who was sitting on the edge of the fire baking cheesecakes couldn't help but stick his head out and sniff a few more bites.
"Girl, it's amazing. That's how we used to make soup. Why doesn't it taste like yours? The camel asked, puzzled.
Rosin stirred it in the soup pot with a big spoon, scooped up a gauze soup packet, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I quietly put aside the spices, and I am not a fairy." ”
Everyone laughed, and they were worried that the people around the princess would be difficult to get along with, but now they all seem to be hearty girls.
Shen Baiyan and Song Zhi were talking above, when they heard laughter, they saw that everyone was getting along well, so they looked at each other and smiled.
Meteor and Chazhi brought up the grilled cheesecake and deer bone soup, along with Lan Yue and vegetarian water.
Su Shui didn't go out with Shen Baiyan, he often slept in the open air, and he didn't have any big expectations for what he could eat in this barren mountain and wilderness, but he was surprised by this taste.
The cheesecake is soft and creamy, and the deer bone soup is fragrant and slightly salty, so it is best to accompany the meal.
After a while, the roast venison came up, and the venison was still shiny, and when I bit into it, the meat juices splashed everywhere, and the taste was extremely fragrant.
Previously, Su Shui was slightly disapproving of Shen Baiyan taking Song Zhi on a long trip, but now he doesn't think so. It's for Song Zhi's stuttering, and the vegetarian water is also willing.
Su Shui was obviously not the only one who had this thought, and this one after another sigh of emotion sounded, praising the rosin to the sky, making her face red.
Song Zhi took a sip of soup and whispered to Shen Baiyan, "Are you mean to them?" It looks like I haven't eaten anything good. ”
Although her voice was small, Lan Yue and Su Shui could hear it clearly, Su Shui pretended not to hear it, but Lan Yue choked firmly.
Shen Baiyan glanced at her, Lan Yue didn't even dare to cough, so he had to carefully take her portion of food to the bottom to find Cuolu.
It's still stormy outside, but inside the cave is a relaxed and warm atmosphere. After eating and drinking, everyone either went to the side to learn kung fu or found a flat boulder to sleep.
Shen Baiyan looked sideways at Song Zhi who was napping on his shoulder, and suddenly felt a sigh of emotion, as if as long as Song Zhi was by his side, it would be this wild cave, and it could also be called home.
……
Where Song Zhi is, there is already a coolness. But her homeland was scorching in summer at this time, and the four of Chuji, Man'er, Bao'er, and Ru'er took a nap together in the wing room of Ningting Academy. This is the largest wing room in the Ning Ting Courtyard, Mrs. Lin deliberately asked people to arrange it, and the bed is also large enough to sleep five adults and four children, so naturally there is surplus.
Mrs. Lin walked into the room lightly with the support of Luo's mother, and saw that the four children were sleeping like piglets, and the maids were also vigilant to the side, so she nodded and went out again.
There were a lot of people in the room, so there were two ice cubes, and one of the ice cubes had almost melted. Zhuyue beckoned to the maids waiting in the courtyard and told them to carry another one.
She was waiting for Bing Jian at the door, but she had a face-to-face with Lin Tianqing, who had just walked in, and she didn't even have time to hide.
Lin Tianqing saw Zhuyue and walked straight over.
"My cousin really sent all the children here, and she really has a big heart." Lin Tianqing didn't know that the child was sleeping, and her voice came into the inner room clearly.
Month by month, he hurriedly blessed and said, "Mrs. Xie is quiet, several children are sleeping." ”
Lin Tianqing glanced at her, passed by her, and didn't know what she was doing when she entered the house, so she hurriedly followed.
Mother Jin, Si Hua and Xia Fan, who was waiting for Bao'er, were all busy saluting her, and Mother Jin stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Xie, the children haven't woken up yet, you better go and say hello to the old lady first." When the children wake up, it's not too late to say goodbye. ”
"What are you doing here? I just want to see my nephews and nieces, so why do I have to stop them like this. Isn't it because I don't have the status of the master of your family, so I can slack off at will? Lin Tianqing's words were a little unreasonable.
