Chapter 179: First Arrival on Bauhinia Island
As soon as she saw the big bed in front of her, Xia Qiu really felt a wave of tiredness all over her body, this was the first time she had such a real feeling of exhaustion in a state of soul separation. She lifted the light gauze curtain and then hugged Xiao Libai and fell down to the bed, the bedding and pillows on the bed were cotton, exuding a sun-soaked fragrance, this is the smell she has liked since she was a child, and the bedding and clothes that her grandmother washed smell like this, she called it the smell of the sun.
She curled up and relied on the temperature of the little pear white to give herself some warmth. Ever since she woke up in the Soul Realm, she had been experiencing fugitives and adventures, and she didn't have time to think about too many other things. But now, when she is alone in an enclosed space, she is afraid that her body is being occupied by other souls, the unknown of the vast road ahead, and the loneliness and helplessness of being in another world...... All emotions were like a storm rolling towards her, and she was like a boat in the sea swaying from side to side, which made her cry uncontrollably for a while.
In this way, she didn't know how long she had been crying, and when she was tired of crying, she fell into a deep sleep. After sleeping for a while, there was a knock at the door downstairs, and she got up groggily and walked down the stairs. When he opened the sliding door, he found Elk Fairy standing outside the door, holding a rectangular wooden tray with several cotton clothes and towels neatly stacked on the tray.
After the elk fairy saluted her, and then looked in the direction of the bathroom in the room, Xia Qiu probably understood that he wanted to ask himself if he wanted to take a bath. So she nodded and said, "I just researched it, but I didn't understand what to do to release hot water." ”
Elk Fairy smiled slightly, then walked into the bathroom, first put the tray in his hand on the shelf on the side, then walked to the rectangular bath, skillfully pulled a rope hanging from the ceiling, and turned a red valve in the wall, and the steaming water came out of a round hole in the wall, and the water was just right to pour into the bathtub. He deliberately demonstrated it to Xia Qiu again, and the hot water would stop when he turned the red valve again.
"It's so convenient!" Xia Qiu couldn't help but sigh, feeling that this was similar to the design of the human water heater.
The elk fairy saw that she had figured out how to use the hot water and withdrew, and before closing the door, he gestured with her for a long time, and she immediately understood that he was telling her to go downstairs to eat after taking a bath. Strange to say, although he can't say a word, he can express all of his meaning with his body language as if he had magic.
It was nice to be able to soak in a hot bath on the first day of reaching the Infinite Heavenly Realm, the water here was very good, and the water seemed to be soaked in flower petals and other things, and you could faintly smell a fragrance. After taking a bath, Xia Qiu changed into the cotton clothes that Elk Fairy had just brought for her, and on this set of beige white pants, small and cute purple flowers were embroidered on the cuffs and neckline.
It was night, and she walked out of the room, down the stairs of the square hall, and then came to the first floor of the building. Ouyang Xueye was sitting on the platform that extended out and drinking alone, when he saw her coming down, he beckoned to her, and when she walked over, he pointed to the direction of the sky and said to her: "Look, the moon in this world is very special!" ”
"There are seven moons!" Xia Qiu looked in the direction he pointed, and there were seven moons in the sky that circled each other.
"Yes, these are the seven colored moons unique to the Infinite Heavenly Realm, and they correspond to the seven islands here." Ouyang Xueye explained to her, then put her own wine glass on the table next to her and stood up and said, "Are you hungry?" Let's eat! ”
"Have you been waiting for me?" Xia Qiu asked.
"yes, it's rare to have someone to eat with me." Ouyang Xueye's eyes were even more charming under the reflection of the seven-colored moon, and although there was a smile on her face, she was a little lonely.
"Won't the elk fairy accompany you to dinner?" Xia Qiu asked curiously.
"I wanted him to eat with me, but unfortunately he can't eat meat and greasy, only vegetables and fruits, and if he eats the same food, I will become a rabbit." Ouyang Xueye quipped.
Xia Qiu sat down at the round table in the middle with him, and the elk fairy brought the prepared dishes one by one and set them up, and poured Xia Qiu a glass of juice, she really didn't expect to have such a sumptuous dinner in this place.
"Try the craft of the Elk Fairy! He is the best housekeeper in the Infinite Heavenly Realm, not only can he easily complete all the housework alone, but he is also quite good at cooking! The vegetables and fruit used to make the juice are all grown by the souls of the dead on Leeley Island, and the meat is from Orange Island, which was only shipped in by ship this morning, so it is very fresh! Ouyang Xueye said.
Xia Qiu first tried to taste a bite of green vegetables, the dish looked colorful, she thought that such a fancy dish would not be too delicious, but when she put it in her mouth, she found that the taste was unexpectedly good.
"This dish is made up of seven different vegetables, and they all come in exactly seven colors, and they are all shredded, so I named it Seven Colors Xuanyue." Ouyang Xueye said.
He didn't move his chopsticks, but dragged his cheeks and looked at Xia Qiu, he couldn't help but think that his son Ouyang Xiaoleng was the same age as her, how good it would be if he could sit down and have a meal with him and Ran Susu. He had long guessed that the relationship between the girl in front of him and his son Ouyang Xiaoleng was by no means just a simple relationship between the blood alliance signatory, and the glint in her eyes when she mentioned his name was also seen in the eyes of his wife Ran Susu.
Xia Qiu put a piece of meat in her mouth, the meat was fat but not greasy, and there was a faint floral fragrance, which reminded her of her grandmother's cooking.
"You know what? It's venison! A very special kind of deer, of course. I don't know what the elk fairy put in it, so that there will be a floral fragrance! Ouyang Xue said as she turned to the elk fairy who was guarding the side, "Elk fairy, although it is not made of bauhinia elk, it is also a kind of deer, don't you feel that you can't do it when you make this dish?" ”
The elk fairy smiled faintly, but his eyes seemed to say: Aren't you eating very deliciously every time?
Xia Qiu couldn't help laughing, Ouyang Xueye's personality was completely different from Ouyang Xiaoleng, in fact, she had this feeling as early as when she saw the two calligraphy paintings he hung in the hall, those two poems were obviously not neat, but they were not coordinated when put together. His personality is likely to be free-spirited, which is the opposite of Ouyang Xiaoleng's repression and restraint.
After dinner, Ouyang Xueye invited her to sit on the platform with her, then handed over a wine glass, poured her a glass of wine and said, "How can you enjoy the moon without wine?" ”
"Can I......" Xia Qiu was still a little hesitant.
"The Demon Realm can drink alcohol after the age of twelve, and there is not even such a restriction in the Infinite Heaven Realm. This wine is brewed by the souls of the dead on Ome Island, although the taste is much worse than Ouyang Yong's Tibetan wine, but it is on par with demon wine, you take a sip and taste it. After Ouyang Xueye finished speaking, he drank all the wine in his cup.
Xia Qiu also drank a glass, this wine tasted sweet, which made her mistakenly think that its degree was very low, who knew that she didn't know anything after a few drinks. In the morning, she felt a little cold on her face and nose, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was Xiao Libai who was touching her face with her nose, and she couldn't remember when she returned to her room, but this immeasurable heavenly wine would not have a headache even if she was drunk the next day.
When she walked downstairs, she found that Elk Fairy had already prepared a few sets of clothes for her on the chair, and after a simple wash, she couldn't help but walk outside the house, thinking about what kind of training Ouyang Xue Ye would arrange for her today. Who knew that after walking downstairs, he was pressed to a chair by the elk fairy to have breakfast, she asked him where Ouyang Xue had gone, he just shook his head and pointed into the distance.
I thought he would be back after breakfast, but she waited idly until late afternoon before he returned on yesterday's jade-colored steed. And with him was Sanssouci Shengtong, who had been drinking and chatting all night, leaving no chance for her to interject. She had no choice but to go back to her room to rest, wanting to wait until the next day.
The next day it was still the case, and she had nothing to do, so she helped Elk Fairy with some of the cleaning, and she helped him while he cooked. She liked this old fairy from the bottom of her heart, and the more she had contact with him, she found that he was good at housework and cooking. It turned out that the clothes he was wearing were all sewn by him with stitches and threads, and the patterns on them were also embroidered by him himself.
Although the time spent with the elk fairy was also very interesting, as time passed, Xia Qiu became more and more worried about her situation. In fact, how could she not be worried? Her body was being overrun by other souls, and her life was being devoured as a result, and the white-cloaked enemies of unknown origin might reappear and attack her, and how she would be able to get through the barrier formed by the waterfall...... But why was Ouyang Xue not in a hurry at all.
Five days passed without even realizing it. On the sixth day, she got up very early, and before dawn she got up and waited for Ouyang Xueye, this time she had to tell him her sense of urgency no matter what. Unexpectedly, Ouyang Xue got up very late at night that day, he walked down the stairs, yawned lazily, and raised a hand after seeing Xia Qiu and said, "Good morning!" Why did you wake up so early? ”
"I'm waiting for you on purpose, and I hope you can start training with me as soon as possible, because time is running out for me!" Xia Qiu said bluntly.
Hearing her words, Ouyang Xueye suddenly became energetic, squinted her eyes and smiled and walked towards the platform, followed by Xia Qiu. He led her to the edge of the platform, and before she could speak, he pushed her down coldly.
She: "Ah! The ground screamed and fell from the platform, and his heart was pounding out of his mouth, and it was still some distance from the ground under the purple clouds. She thought to herself: This Ouyang Xue Ye is too ruthless?!! I'm just complaining a little about his lack of rigority, and he doesn't have to kill me. But what would it be like to die in this immeasurable heavenly realm? Aren't all the souls who exist here?
