Chicken in soup
After sitting for a while, Han Bing stood up and smiled: "I'll take you to see the sweet lotus I planted." Turning around as he spoke, Dongfu wondered in his heart, I don't know where to plant lotus root on this small platform? He only followed the ice, looking around suspiciously.
Han Bing walked up to the platform and walked halfway to the right before turning to the side. Only then did Dongfu discover that on the side of the platform, there were stone steps that went down one by one, reaching down to the bottom of the platform. Han Bing smiled back at him and walked down the stone steps. Dongfu followed, it turned out that the stone steps were around, and they went all the way to the bottom of the platform, and suddenly they opened up, it was actually a pool about the same size as the platform on the top, there was a stone embankment in the middle divided into two halves, one side was clear and leisurely water, clear and transparent, around the pool, a layer of silver and gold tin was paved, separating the pool water from the ice stone. A pool of water, with the sound of them coming in, rippled slightly in the silver pool, glittering with ripples. On the other side, there is a pond full of lotus roots, and the greenery is green, full of coolness. The branches are crowded with branches, and the leaves are next to the leaves, so that they are not luxuriant. In the middle of the green leaves, there are snow-white and pink lotus flowers, slim and elegant, and it is really full of delicate ponds.
"These lotus roots, I don't know if they changed their temperament when they were planted in this pond, and they don't wither all year round." Cold Ice chuckled.
On the top of the pool where Dongfu saw the lotus root, there were some silver-gray thick ropes, which seemed to be the same as the silk silk he saw in the small storage hole. He was a little puzzled, and pointed with his finger: "What are these ropes for?" ”
Han Bing watched, smiled, didn't speak, but his body suddenly jumped up, the white clothes fluttered, stretched out his hand and pulled the nearest rope to himself, flickered away, and grabbed another, just like a white-clothed lotus fairy, fluttering on the turquoise pool, the rope of the silk is elastic, when it was pulled down, it stretched down, and when he saw the fairy in white about to step on the lotus leaf, the rope was put on again, and the moment it was closed, Han Bing had reached out and grabbed the other one, so that it rose and fell in the pool, and the clothes fluttered, the cuff flies. It's like flying in the sky singing and dancing, where has Dongfu seen such a graceful scene, and his eyes are really straight.
Han Bing came back from a circle in the pool, and there were already several lotus canopies in his right hand, and a pink lotus flower in his left hand, standing in front of Dongfu with a smile.
"That's amazing!" Dongfu stretched out his hand and admired it from the bottom of his heart. Han Bing smiled slightly: "It's just because there is heavenly silk that can be picked like this." Would you like to give it a try? ”
"Okay!" Dongfu played, stood on the edge of the pool, tiptoed to test it, then also learned the ice, jumped up, stretched out his hand to pull the tip of the silk, the silk was pulled by him, the weight, naturally drooped, but unexpectedly Dongfu was much heavier than the ice, this hanging, did not stop on the lotus leaf to retract, but sent Dongfu straight into the water. Dongfu was naturally caught off guard, alas, the whole person soaked into the cold water, broke a few large lotus leaves, and then followed the silk back when he was soaked, he hurriedly took advantage of the rope to retract when he let go, still jumped back on the stone embankment, but extremely embarrassed, a body of clothes sticking to his body, dripping down.
"Alas!" When he fell into the water, Han Bing also cried out at the same time, and then saw him standing on the shore, drenched, with a look of chagrin, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hmm!" Dongfu looked at Han Bing and trembled with laughter, and was so unconvinced, he turned his body wetly, looked at the silk that was still shaking, and wanted to find out.
Han Bing stopped laughing, pointed to the lotus pond and said, "You are heavier than me, you have to hold on to it a little, you can't hang the tip, you won't stretch so long, and you won't fall into the water." ”
"Then I'll try again." Dongfu said, his body had already jumped up, and he jumped higher, grabbed the upper end of the rope, and sure enough, he didn't fall into the water again, so he changed one by one, swayed and swayed, and also learned to turn around in the pool, but his clothes were all attached to his body, up and down, and his body was straight and straight, like an arrow, and it was not as pleasing to the eye as cold ice.
When he jumped back to the shore, he picked a white lotus flower in his hand.
Han Bing smiled and took the lotus flowers he picked, put the lotus canopy on the basket of rice, looked at Dongfu's soaked clothes, and said, "It's so wet, but I can't go, let's go back and dry the clothes first." ”
Dongfu's clothes were cold on his body, and he was naturally not happy. He nodded again and again, and pointed to a pool of clear water separated by tin on the other side and asked, "This water is specially used to drink?" ”
Han Bing nodded: "If it is soaked in ice stones for too long, it will be poisonous, and these waters are deliberately separated." Just in case there is no water. However, if there is no separated water, it is not afraid to put it in the ice stone for a few hours.
Dongfu bent down and drank it with his hand, which was cool and sweet, like mountain spring water.
Han Bing saw that he had a good time, and then smiled: "Let's go." ”
The two of them still went up the platform and down the steep stone staircase. This stone staircase is typically easy to go down and difficult to come up. When they went down, the two of them jumped halfway up, and when they jumped again, they returned to the cave. Han Bing turned around a few stone chambers and took out a set of white clothes, which were still men's clothes, but with wide robes and large sleeves, just like the official clothes worn by scribes.
"This should be left by Gu Shizu before, you try it, but it's enough to wear it?" Han Bing held it to Dongfu with both hands.
"Gu Shizu?" Dongfu took the clothes, very strange.
"It's the ancestor of the ancestor." Han Bing smiled: "Anyway, it was many, many years ago. The ice cave was extremely deep and cold, and no outsider could stay in this cave for a day or two except for the master and the ancestors. Most of them come in and die. As he spoke, he glanced at Dongfu again, "I don't know if it's because you're used to freezing in the snow or whatever, but I actually recovered a lot when I rescued you and put it at the entrance of the cave, so I dared to bring you into the cave." ”
I see. Dongfu glanced around, yes, since it is called the Cold Ice Cave, and only these ice stones emit a faint white light, it is naturally very cold, but why don't you realize it? Maybe it's really because of the absorption of thousand-year-old nine-born ginseng in the mother's womb?
"Go change it, I'll wash and dry it for you." Han Bing looked at him in a daze and urged softly.
Dongfu took the clothes and changed, the fabric was excellent, different from the cotton satin he wore in Sanfu, delicate and soft, warm and extremely comfortable. But his clothes were much longer than his own, and he had to be tied up in his waist so that he would not be dragged to the ground. I don't know what kind of ancestor wears it? How tall are you? Dongfu was very curious.
Han Bing saw him take out his wet clothes, and naturally saw that there were a lot of bundles around his waist, so he laughed softly.
Dongfu looked at her and smiled, a little embarrassed, touched his head and said, "This ancient ancestor of yours is a big and tall man." ”
"I'll take you to see him another day." Han Bing smiled.
"Really?" Dongfu was overjoyed, a man who could wear such a gorgeous costume must be good. It's good to look at it.
Han Bing smiled, took his clothes to wash, and after washing, he knotted the two sleeves of his clothes and wrapped them around the top of the pillar in the hall that could be used for cooking. It is said that after receiving the heat of the pillar, it will dry out in a while.
