In the late spring in the Buting Mountains, the mist is shrouded and gloomy.

The thorns that sprouted new branches at the end of Shang Mo were a bit prickly, so Zhangxiu and his party carefully walked through the thorn bushes, then stepped on the damp stones and jumped over the overgrown path behind the dirty flea nests, and ran across the rope bridge to the bottom of Kangaram Mountain.

Zhangxiu jumped off his horse and tied it to a zelkova tree in the forest. Next to the beech tree is a large white stone with two small white stones pressed on it. This is the sacred place used by the Gezhi tribe to represent the god of the tree.

Zhangxiu tied the horse to the beech tree and threw a handful of hay from the saddle to the horse. Then he looked at the two cheap slaves behind him and shouted: "Move things!" ”

There are also a lot of birthday gifts that Zhangxiu wants to give to Ah Lan tied to the saddle.

Ali had a bitter face: "Are we going to climb the mountain with these things on our backs?" ”

Zhangxiu walked forward on her own, "Otherwise? ”

Ali unloaded the goods from the saddle, held them in his arms, and said to Ahsan behind him, "You can take the rest." ”

Zhangxiu frowned, turned around and said, "You two cheap slaves, if you dare to throw these gifts of mine on the ground and get dirty, do you know what the result will be?" ”

Ah Shan also had a bitter face, and muttered while moving things from the saddle: "You are also fierce in front of us, there is a kind of murder of that strange bird." ”

Zhangxiu turned around: "What are you muttering?" ”

Ahsan and Ali replied in unison: "We say that Ah Lan is the most beautiful girl in the Southern Wilderness. ”

In spring, the vegetation of Kangaram Mountain grows in a stepwise manner, and the small streams and rivers near the south and the yuan are almost devoid of grass because the streams flow through the salt-rich brine all year round.

Further up, there are ferns, miscellaneous trees, and weeds, and when the height of the mountain increases by about 300 meters, the plants have all changed into dwarf elms and thorn trees, and further up, there are tall sweetgum trees, acacia trees, and wakaki trees, and at the highest point, deciduous oak trees, zelkova trees, pines, cypresses, etc.

Only the sweetgum trees, acacia trees, and wakaki trees that grow on the top of the mountains under the pines and cypresses are the best trees with the tightest quality, the most fragrant atmosphere, and the dense tree grains.

Zhangxiu wore a new blue cloud-patterned Shu embroidered coat on a black background, and this new coat felt very energetic when worn on her body. He smiled happily and whipped the fern in front of him with his horsewhip, lest the dew from the fern wet his new boots or splash on his clean new clothes.

Ah Shan lowered his voice and said to Ali: "As long as we say that Ah Lan is the most beautiful girl, it doesn't matter where it is, whether it is Snow Blue City, Dahui Dynasty, or even the Southern Great Wilderness, as long as we say this, Childe will forget everything." ”

Ali was wary of Zhangxiu hearing it, and also lowered his voice and said, "Moreover, he is a fool when he sees Ah Lan, so it's best to lie to him at this time." ”

"When Alan is there, we will tell him about the salary increase, and he will definitely add us a silver quill."

"Yes, it's okay to add half a silverquill."

Zhangxiu heard the two cheap slaves chirping behind him, and said impatiently: "Hurry up, if Ah Lan goes up the mountain, there will be two cheap slaves who look good." ”

Ali and Ahsan glanced at the gift in their hands proudly and said, "We are going to walk carefully so as not to touch or dew soak the gift you gave to the most beautiful Ah Lan in Snow Blue City!" ”

Changxiu smiled with satisfaction and continued walking.

After today, Alan will be able to marry and have children. What if you ask your father to include Ah Lan in the Nanshu Palace? Zhangxiu feels happy when she thinks about it.

"Why is Childe laughing alone in front?" Ali asked suspiciously.

"Ah Lan holds an adult sacrifice, what is he happy about?" Ahsan snorted coldly.

When the three of them climbed to the top of Kangaram Hill out of breath, a wooden house appeared in front of them. More than 20 years after the Yufeng and Gezhi tribes were destroyed and wiped out, when there were rumors everywhere that there were monsters in the Buting Mountains, there was only this lonely mountain people within a hundred miles away.

The roof of the hut is enshrined in a palm-sized white stone that glows faintly in the mist, and tall sweetgum and rosewood, as well as elm and beech trees are planted in front of and behind the house, and dense bamboos are planted inside, which form a natural barrier to enclose the hut.

In the open space in front of the wooden house, there is a tall white stone temple, which is the only remaining white stone temple in Snow Blue City.

The coming-of-age ritual of Ah Lan will be held in front of the White Stone Temple.
