Chapter 17: Ylang
Tan Bo's final destination was on a slow slope with mountains and rivers in the background, and a few large trees full of yellow flowers were planted on the hillside, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing with the breeze blowing.
After worshipping Tan Bo's green mound, Shan Yue'er stood under a flower tree in a daze, this fragrance was unusually familiar, but she couldn't remember where she smelled it for a while.
"What kind of flower is this?" She asked Aunt Liu, who had come with them to worship.
Aunt Liu said: "Back to the princess, this flower blooms every spring, and it is very fragrant, and we call it a fragrant flower tree." ”
"Fragrant Flower Tree, Fragrant Flower?" Shan Yue'er frowned and thought, she wanted to remember something, but in vain. In the end, she only said to Caishang: "Caishang, pick some of these fragrant flowers, and bring them back to me for a closer look." ”
Caishang agreed, and picked it up with Xiaoxiao. The flowers were no more than three or four feet tall, and the leaves were oval, with pale yellow petals, long and pointed.
picked one and pinned it on his clothes, and said Xiaoxiao: "When I was a child, A-Niang took me here, picked this flower, and gave me a string of flowers!" ”
Shan Yue'er saw that her words were full of memories, and she was afraid that she would be sad, so she said: "That's why don't you help me wear a flower string to wear." ”
Xiao Xiao nodded, ran to another flower tree, and carefully selected the flowers.
Aunt Liu saw that Shan Yue'er was so interested in this fragrant flower, and wondered: "Princess, but is there anything wrong with this fragrant flower tree?" ”
Shan Yue'er shook her head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just feel a little familiar." After thinking about it, he asked again: "By the way, my aunt has the seeds of this fragrant flower tree, can you let me take a look?" ”
Aunt Liu is a cool person, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, when this fragrant flower knot last year, I took a few back, and planned to put it in the pillow to calm my nerves." If the princess likes it, take it back and take a look at it. This year, when the flowers fall, I'll pick up some more. ”
"In this way, thank you Aunt Liu." Shan Yue'er hurriedly thanked him.
After putting on a string of flowers, and wrapping two large bags of fragrant flowers with silk handkerchiefs, the group returned to Tanmen Village. Aunt Liu warmly invited them to eat at home, and Shan Yue'er did not twist it, stone pot fish, roasted sea vegetables, steamed sea crab, brown rice, and crucian carp soup.
At the dinner table, Shan Yue'er talked a lot with the Liu family and his wife, and the most talked about was the livelihood of the villagers. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, the coastal villages have many people and little land, the villagers mainly rely on fishing for a living, the Liu family has many men, and the family is relatively close to the sea, because they can go out to sea to fish, so the life is relatively comfortable. Those who don't have strong men in their families are in much worse shape. There are also more remote villages like Xiapo Village, where the sea does not change, and there is no other livelihood, so it can only be poor and poor, it is difficult to marry a wife and have children, and the population of the village can only be less than a year.
After eating, Aunt Liu took out the seeds of the fragrant flowers as if offering treasures, and the seeds the size of rice grains were dark and shiny, and they also exuded bursts of floral fragrance.
If Shan Yue'er got the treasure, she was busy and carefully put it away, and insisted on leaving a silver ingot for Aunt Liu as a thank you gift.
When the group returned to Tan Bo's house, it was already afternoon, and they said that it was okay, so they packed up and rushed to Qiongcheng for the night, but Shan Yue'er saw Xiaoxiao's reluctant appearance, so she said: "Stay here for the night, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”
Where is Xiaoxiao, and he shouted: "The princess is pregnant, where can she live in this thatched hut in this fishing village?" ”
Shan Yue'er smiled: "Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Besides, it's not that I haven't lived there, I still like this rural scenery! If you want to see it in the future, you have to run to Baba Er, it is better to stay for one more day, and it is good to have a full eye, and the heart of the province is always worried. ”
For dinner, Xiaoxiao cooked delicious fish porridge for everyone, the fish was fished by Erniu from the sea, the rice was borrowed from Aunt Liu's house, and the porridge was cooked directly with seawater, and even the salt was saved. Not to mention, it's really interesting.
After dinner, it was just dark, Shan Yue'er proposed to go to the beach for a walk, the three girls walked in front, Yun Shifei and Er Niu were a few steps apart, following behind, which could not only guard their safety, but also give them space to whisper.
Seeing that the sea was in front of him, Xiao Xiao said: "The beach at night is soft and warm, and it is comfortable to step on it." Before he finished speaking, he had already taken off his embroidered shoes and socks, and rushed into the sea.
Shan Yue'er couldn't resist the temptation, also took off her shoes and socks, stood on the beach and tried the temperature of the seawater.
Caishang was worried about Shan Yue'er, and she hurriedly followed before she had time to take off her shoes and socks, and beckoned the two men behind her to hurry up as she walked.
Fortunately, the night was very gentle, and the sea was gentle, and when the evening tide rose, the water was just below their knees. Shan Yue'er looked at the nervous colorful clothes around her, as well as Yun Shifei and Erniu, who were in a dilemma a few steps away, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm a little bit of the same water, and I'll be fine." ”
She wanted to say that she was a strong swimmer in her previous life, and she even once dived into the deep sea and saw sharks with sharp teeth. But she couldn't say, even at this moment, that they were the ones who cared about her the most. Perhaps in this life, she is destined to be lonely to digest a lot of emotions, and she is also destined to give up a lot of joy in life!
Jumping out of the gorgeous palace to this free world, Shan Yue'er is actually happy, but at this moment her expression looks so lonely and distressing.
The night was too thick, so thick that when she couldn't see the clouds clearly, Shifei looked at her, the focused eyes, and the distress that couldn't be hidden by the leaves.
"Look, someone is putting a lantern!" Xiao Xiao suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Shan Yue'er looked up and happened to see a meteor passing through the inky night sky.
"That's a shooting star, make a wish!" After speaking, Shan Yue'er closed her eyes and read silently: "Chunxiao suffered from love in her previous life, and she only wants a true heart in this life, if you can't, but if you can do something for the people here, it will not be in vain for me to come to this world with a wisp of lonely soul." ”
When Shan Yue'er opened her eyes again, she found that the little ghost girl had quietly come to her side at some point, "Princess, what is a meteor?" She asked.
Shan Yue'er thought for a while and said, "A meteor is a kind of star, and it is said that if someone who sees it makes a wish on it, they will be able to fulfill their wish." ”
"What did the princess wish?"
Shan Yue'er nodded her nose and said, "Well, keep it secret, it won't work if you say it." ”
Xiao Xiao muttered that Shan Yue was stingy.
Caishang said: "Princess, it's not early, you should go back and rest." ”
Shan Yue'er smiled and said, "It's a little tired, let's go back." ”
Caishang just wanted to go over and hold Shan Yue'er, so she fell into the sea with a sigh, it turned out that she stepped on a rock buried by the sea and tripped over.
I saw Er Niu take three steps and make two steps to run over, and quickly fished her out of the water, muttering, "Why are you so careless?" ”
Fortunately, Caishang only choked on two mouthfuls of water, and it was fine, but her face was red with shame because she was held in her arms by Erniu.
Looking at the interaction between the two, Shan Yue'er thought in her heart, it seems that she has to find an opportunity to marry the two. In the past, she always felt that these two people were not a good match, but now it seems that fate really can't stop it, it seems that she is still stupid.
After a long day's work, everyone was tired. The Tan family has a small house, and when they go out, they have to keep everything simple. So, the three of Shan Yue'er rested in the West House where Xiao Xiao used to live, and Yun Shifei and Er Niu rested in the East House where Tan Bo lived before his death.
In the middle of the night, Shan Yue'er was awakened by a burst of heat in her heart, at first she thought it was the physical discomfort caused by pregnancy, and reached out to touch her chest, which turned out to be the small bunch of fragrant flowers made during the day.
Smelling its aroma, Shan Yue'er suddenly remembered where she had smelled this smell, which was a perfume called "charm".
Ylang-ylang can be shallow to help sleep and deep to be pleasant.
It turned out that the flower was not an ordinary fragrant flower, but a precious ylang-ylang flower.
