Chapter 24: The Good Guys and the Bad Guys
Mu Feng was very moved when he heard the news brought by Yuan Qingshan. Originally, he felt confused and powerless about how to fulfill Grandpa Baicao's last wish. The world is so big, where to look for it? But now Mu Feng felt that he would definitely be able to find the place called Shennong Valley, where there was an apricot forest and a late apricot pavilion. That place must exist because there are a lot of good people who help find it. Mu Feng was finally completely freed from the confusion, this feeling was good, bright and warm.
Although he probably knew that Shennong Valley was in the north, Mu Feng was not in a hurry to set off, Tang Li's later situation needed to be observed for a while, and Qingluan's magic circle also needed to be properly resolved. Everything, Mu Feng must be properly arranged before leaving. Of course, Mu Feng was also a little reluctant to part with everyone.
Yuan Qingshan was not in a hurry to return to the city, his injuries were healed, and this time he took the opportunity to send a message, so he naturally had to take a good stroll. In Fengmingju, Yuan Qingshan is like a child, taking Yuan Xiaoya, Tang Li, and Qingluan to play around all day long, catching hares, going down to the river to fish, how wild to play, no wonder Yuan Xiaoya and his uncle are closer than their father.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed. The weather is getting colder by the day. Everyone planned to move back to the city to live, but Qingluan was a little reluctant, she wanted to go to Fallen Leaf City with everyone, but she didn't want to leave Fengmingju, after all, she had been here since she was a child. In the past, he lived alone, and Qingluan didn't have any contact with anyone, so he would live a very happy life. But now she is a little reluctant, reluctant to give up the previous days, and this emotion suddenly makes her feel very uncomfortable: "Woo...... Don't go, I'm ...... Woo........."
Hearing that everyone was leaving, Qingluan suddenly cried. Li'er, Yuan Xiaoya, and Li's mother all stepped forward to comfort: "Qingluan doesn't cry, we will go back here again." You also come back to the city with us, and someone will take care of it here. Yuan Xiaoya said: "Sister Qingluan, let's go back to the city together, there are a lot of delicious foods in the city." If we get tired of staying in the city, let my uncle play with us in the mountains, do you say?"
Qingluan rubbed her eyes and widened her eyes, and said in surprise: "Really, there are a lot of delicious foods in the city, can we come back?" Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted, Mu Feng thought to herself, as long as there is something to eat, maybe she will help her count the money. Qingluan thought that everyone would not come back after leaving, so she was so anxious that she cried, but when she learned that there were a lot of delicious food in Sunset City, she couldn't wait to go down the mountain quickly.
Some guards and servants were left here to take care of Feng Mingju, and Li's mother and her three children sat in the chariot as when they came, and the rest of the people rode on horseback. The flow of the stream in the river has decreased a lot, and a thin layer of ice has formed in the puddle near the bank, although there is no longer a waterfall in the laketop lake into the river, but there is still spring water leaching out of the pool at the foot of the mountain, and the water is a clear mountain spring water, and Ren Lao especially likes to use the mountain spring water to make tea and drink.
It was already evening when everyone returned to Sunset City, Mu Feng took Qingluan and Xiaoya accompanied Tang Li to the front of the City Lord's Mansion. Tang Zhengyuan accompanied Grandma Li'er to wait for Mu Feng and his party in front of the mansion, the old man was in good spirits, holding a yellow rosewood cane. Seeing the chariot coming, he immediately stepped forward: "Oh, my lovely granddaughter, I miss my grandmother." As he spoke, he hugged Tang Li, who had just come out of the chariot, and two lines of turbid tears flowed: "Heart and liver baby, let grandma take a good look, let grandma take a good look." ”
The old man touched his face for a while, touched his hands for a while, looked at it carefully for a while, and then hugged Tang Li with a smile and said: "I just said that our Li'er has its own heaven and earth blessing, and it will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune, and it is true, thank God, thank God." Ren Lao stepped forward and deliberately invited credit and said, "Old sister, shouldn't you also thank me?" Grandma Li'er calmed down and looked at Ren Nature and said: "Of course I want to thank you, of course I want to thank you, oh, by the way, there is another good offspring, where is it? Come over and let me take a look." ”
Mu Feng stepped forward and faced Grandma Li'er, and said, "The young boy greets the old man, and wishes the old man a long and unparalleled life." After speaking, he did not look up, but saluted respectfully. Grandma Li'er said kindly: "Hurry, hurry up, it's really a good offspring, grandma likes it." After everyone saw the salute, they hugged Grandma Li'er and walked into the house.
After a short rest, everyone had dinner in the hall, and the grandmother liked Li'er and these little girls very much, so she asked a few girls to sit in front of her, and squeezed Ren Lao Du to the side to sit. Li'er did it next to her grandmother, Mu Feng sat next to Qingluan, Ren Lao, Tang Zhengyuan, and Li's mother sat down in turn, and they had a good meal, not to mention it for the time being. Mu Feng and Qingluan also lived in the City Lord's Mansion.
The next day, Li'er was called over by her grandmother, Xiaoya and Mu Feng took Qingluan to say hello, and Li'er's grandmother left her to have a simple breakfast, and then Li'er accompanied her grandmother to talk, and Xiaoya and Mu Feng took Qingluan to leave temporarily. "Brother Mu Feng, I'll take you and Qingluan to the city for a walk, there are a lot of fun and beautiful places in Sunset City. ”
Xiao Ya said to Mu Feng. Since Mu Feng came to Sunset City, he hasn't taken a good walk around the city, and now he has nothing to do, Yuan Qingshan has also returned to the Xuanjia Camp to be on duty. So the three of them did not bring any retinue, and walked around the city casually. Qingluan was eating a box of preserved fruits, which he had just bought from the treasure store, and Mu Feng was also holding two strings of sugar gourds that were also available in the dream world in his hand, but he was not eating it himself, but what Qingluan was going to eat next.
Qingluan has now arranged everything to eat this day, anyway, all kinds of things he sees and delicious things have to be tried. Before I knew it, most of the morning had passed, and Mu Feng was more interested in medicinal herb stores and bookstores, as for other grocery stores, snack streets, and various toy stores, they were all places that Xiaoya and Qingluan were interested in. The area in the east of the city was almost turned, and Xiao Ya took Qingluan to the vicinity of the Medicine King Palace, preparing to go back there first to greet the ancestor and the master.
After a while, everyone came to the Medicine King Palace, and the front of the palace was still as lively as ever. In the square in front of the hall, the voices of people are boiling, although it is chaotic, but everyone is not affected by the noisy environment, and concentrates on doing their own things. Some people were buying medicinal materials, some people were concocting medicinal materials, Mu Feng swept it at a glance and found that all kinds of medicinal materials were very complete. Passing through the square, it was relatively quiet near the main hall of the Medicine King Hall. In front of this open space is the main hall, and a little farther to the left and right is the opposite side hall.
At this time, a group of people dressed in uniform were watching something, this group of people included men and women, old and young, children of rich families, and scholars from poor families, all of whom were apprentices studying and cultivating here. Yuan Xiaoya took Mu Feng and Qingluan to shuttle through the crowd with a familiar car, from time to time to take a peeled orange from the east, handed it to Qingluan and Mu Feng, and then went to the west to bring a handful of lotus seeds. Everyone walked to the front of the pavilion and was blocked by the crowd in front of them.
Yuan Xiaoya took Mu Feng and they squeezed towards the crowd: "Let let, let let, let us pass." The man he called out to him turned his head to see that it was her, and got out of the way. In the blink of an eye, Yuan Xiaoya walked in with Mu Feng and Qingluan. It turned out to be a regular assessment of the beginner disciples, and I saw that there were ten groups in the room, and each group had a responsible deacon standing in front of the table, and the table was full of all kinds of fresh and stale medicinal materials. Then about 20 or so disciples who were assessed picked up the herbs or smelled or looked at them, and occasionally took off some of them and put them in their mouths to chew. After thinking about it, I wrote something on the paper.
After a short time, the deacon accepted the answer sheet, and one of the young men had a faint smile, his clothes were clean but a little discolored. The young man was sorting out the medicinal materials, and a young disciple next to him said to him, "Senior Brother Liu, can you tell me what medicinal materials are here?" ”
The young man known as Senior Brother Liu looked at the young junior brother and said, "Don't worry, you are still young and have time to learn slowly." Besides, your family is wealthy, even if the assessment is poor, there is no shortage of subsidies from the college. The junior brother said with a bitter face: "Senior brother doesn't know, if I don't get the subsidy this time, my old man will have to teach me a hard lesson, although those subsidies are not much, but they are of great significance." Senior Brother Liu stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's so significant?" The young junior brother said helplessly: "Last time, I went to Chiba City with my Lao Tzu to visit an uncle, and his daughter was also just getting started, but she could get a first-class subsidy every time she was assessed, and then, you know, my Lao Tzu felt shameless, and when he came back, he severely reprimanded me. ”
Senior Brother Liu smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the answer in advance." Then Senior Brother Liu walked to the big table and began to explain the medicinal materials, the names of the medicinal materials, their functions, the growth environment, how to cultivate, how to deal with fresh medicinal materials, the year in which some years of medicinal materials were collected, what should be paid attention to when using them, etc., this Senior Brother Liu introduced the same kind of treasures. Those introductory disciples listened very carefully, nodding their heads from time to time, as if they had learned something.
At this time, a rich kid wearing Jin Peiyu walked over, glanced at Yuan Xiaoya, and then shouted at the senior brother Liu: "Okay, okay, I know that you can bear it, but you don't have to show it off like this in public, right?" The rich kid looked at everyone: "Yes, yes, you Liu Zixuan gets a first-class subsidy every year, of course, you are well-informed, not comparable to metrics." ”
Liu Zixuan frowned slightly, no longer paid attention to the rich child, and said to the young disciple: "Okay, there will be a senior brother to tell you about these in the future, so let's stop here today." Then the herbs were sorted and packed up and ready to leave. Yuan Xiaoya stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Liu, I'll help you." Mu Feng and Qingluan also stepped forward to help. Senior Brother Liu didn't shirk and said to Xiaoya and the others, "Thank you." The rich kid watched Liu Zixuan and Yuan Xiaoya leave with gloomy eyes, snorted angrily, and turned around and left with his followers
