Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Far East, the Boundless Sea of Flowers
Ye Lingfeng smiled helplessly, looked at Mu Wanqing apologetically, and gently pulled her little hand. Wan'er looked at him resentfully, sighed helplessly, and remained silent. Qin Hongjin had a cold face, didn't care about the people on the side, and entered the hut by himself. Gan Baobao stomped his feet with some annoyance, he knew that he wouldn't make such a joke, and wanted to intercede for his daughter again, so he followed his senior sister in.
Zhong Ling stared pitifully at the little eyes, looking at Ye Lingfeng's intimacy with his sister Mu blankly, with mixed feelings in his heart, this is too much fun, Ju is going to be a little wife to others, I don't know if this guy will do bad things to himself? Will you still have a baby after that? For a moment, he thought about it, and a blush appeared on his cheeks.
Ye Lingfeng didn't know what to say, she sent Mu Wanqing into the hut, stepped forward to Zhong Ling's side and asked, "Ling'er, what are you doing on this trip to Putuo Mountain?" Does your aunt often bring you here? During this time, the situation of the various martial arts sects in the Central Plains was turbulent, so it is better for you to move around less. ”
Zhong Ling replied: "My mother and I came to Putuo Peak because we had no place to live, and my father drove us out, and we were no longer welcome in the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations. Mother didn't have a few relatives, and the only one who had an intersection was Aunt Qin, so we had to come here from Dali to ask for help from my aunt. ”
The little girl tugged at the corner of her skirt, she seemed a little embarrassed, she bit her lower lip, and said in a slurred voice: "I'm so embarrassed... Because of my wayward jokes, this kind of thing happened, and I will explain it to Aunt Qin afterwards, and it will not affect your marriage with Sister Mu. ”
Ye Lingfeng knew why Zhong Ling and Gan Baobao appeared here, it seemed that his cheap father knew that his baby daughter was not his own. Zhong Wanqiu is really, he looks so ugly, five big and three thick, although he is the owner of the valley, he is already very blessed to be able to get such a beautiful wife, right? Although it is really infuriating to be a pick-up man, if you really have backbone, don't chase your wife, after scolding for a while, chasing your wife in the crematorium can only be said to be deserved!
Before Ye Lingfeng could speak, he only heard Qin Hongjin's voice from inside the hut: "What? How dare Zhong Wanqiu do this to you? Just because he can get a wife like you based on his appearance, I'm afraid it's the ancestral tomb that smokes. Now because of Ling'er's life experience, I will say that kind of thing to you, this kind of man is really not worth it. Don't worry, don't go back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, you guys live here, I want to see if he has the face to chase this Putuo Mountain. ”
Although Qin Hongjin hated his junior sister very much because of Duan Zhengchun's matter, after all, the two were still good friends, and when something like this happened to Gan Baobao, she naturally couldn't swallow this breath. Although she was looking towards her junior sister in this regard, she didn't know what was going on, this stubborn woman seemed to have decided to let Zhong Ling and Wanqing marry him together.
Ye Lingfeng is happy to be blessed, if Zhong Ling is interested, he will naturally not refuse, the little girl was speechless in shame, she didn't refuse openly, she just said that it was not bad to marry him. Gan Baobao saw that persuasion was fruitless, and in the end he could only recognize his identity as a cheap mother-in-law, which was regarded as acquiescing in the marriage.
Ye Lingfeng stayed on Putuo Peak for a few days, served the two mothers-in-law well, and also toured the mountains and rivers with the two future wives who already had a marriage contract by the way, and tasted the scenery. In his spare time, he used his true qi to improve the meridians of the four people, which could improve the stability of the meridians and have the effect of prolonging life.
But this is a big project, after all, the two mothers-in-law are not ordinary people, and they both have some martial arts foundation, and they have been ingrained for so many years, and it is difficult to correct. In order to sort out the meridians correctly, the internal force required is absolutely astronomical. If it weren't for the internal force of the cliff, I am afraid that there would really be no way to carry out such a thing. The two future wives are okay, not only very cooperative, but also carefully wipe sweat and pour water for him.
A week passed like this, and Ye Lingfeng had to rush back to Taihu Lake to pick up Li Qinglu, and he promised to take him to the extreme east to see the sea of flowers. He left Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling on Putuo Peak, and told the two mothers-in-law that there was something important to deal with, and after a few days of flattery, these two are now very satisfied with him, and this kind of trivial matter is just a few words and no longer cares.
Ye Lingfeng carried Ling Bo with a slight step, and hurried with all his graceful body, there were less than ten days left before the start of the wedding, and he had been on Putuo Mountain for a long time to tell the truth, so because of the lack of time, it was necessary to hurry up. With his deep internal strength, he finally returned to Taihu Lake at noon the next day.
He didn't pause, and didn't even tell Li Qingluo and the others the news that he had returned, but just found someone and asked him to pass on the news that he had picked up Li Qinglu, and then picked up Princess Yinchuan's delicate body, carried his body, and rushed all the way to the east of the Central Plains.
The story that Li Qinglu heard back then has no prototype in history, and there doesn't seem to be any sea of flowers in the east, and the fertile soil of Qilu is full of crops, Ye Lingfeng looked back and forth, but he didn't find the sea of flowers mentioned in the story.
He wondered in his heart, the Far East mentioned in this story is not talking about Dongying and other countries? Although it is common for the Great Song Dynasty to go to sea to trade, the rest of the countries have always had an inexplicable fear of the sea, so it should not be a place to go to sea to find.
Ye Lingfeng was helpless in his heart, after all, if he wanted to go to the sea to Dongying, he would definitely not be able to come back within ten days, and it seemed that it would be difficult to bring Qinglu to see the so-called boundless sea of flowers before the wedding. This is the princess's long-cherished wish since childhood, and if it can't be realized, it will be a pity.
Approaching the evening time, Ye Lingfeng landed in an ancient city with Li Qinglu in his arms, it was not too early, it was time to find a store, have some dinner, and rest for the night. It's not a good way to keep looking for it in vain, so let's find someone tomorrow and ask for directions.
He brought a veil for Qinglu, after all, the delicate face of the dignified Princess Yinchuan was too eye-catching, she was already the object of attention just by sitting there, and she also attracted the attention of many others when she was in a hurry before, which made the girl extremely shy, so she asked him to wear a veil.
The two entered the store, Ye Lingfeng also put on a mask, he asked for some sauced beef and a few dishes, and two bowls of rice wine, mellow and delicious, good quality and low price, can blame the store's business is really good, it is very prosperous.
The wine and food were quickly served, Ye Lingfeng presented Li Qinglu with half a bowl of rice and added some delicious dishes, these are the Central Plains folk dishes that the Western Xia royal family can't eat, although the taste is not so fresh and tender, but for the princess of Yinchuan, it is a rare fresh and delicious food. Ye Lingfeng just ate a little bit of food, drank a bowl of rice wine, and quietly watched the beautiful woman opposite eat in small bites, the funny appearance that covered his face was really cute, and he couldn't help but laugh. He is successful in his cultivation, even if he doesn't eat or drink.
Suddenly a diner on the side talked about flowers, Ye Lingfeng just listened to the excitement, after all, what the ordinary people saw, basically boasted at the dinner table had exaggerated ingredients, and could not be regarded as an accurate source, but there were also places to learn from. He was unmoved on the surface, but he secretly spread his true qi, so that his hearing could increase several times, after all, he had to ask people about it, and if there was news, it would be good to go there tomorrow and take a look.
……
"Well, have you heard? I heard that the sunflower at the back gate has bloomed, and the golden color is beautiful, it is said that it is a new thing introduced from the West, and we have just planted it here, and there are no other places, so let's take a look tomorrow? Their gang of farm workers happen to have something to do, and we can give them a blow when we go and see them. ”
"Hey, you guy, you can't get rid of this braggadocio at any time. Okay, I'll just go with you, but what kind of thing you said Sunflower is really so godly? Can you grow on your own against the sun? This plant is also amazing, let's talk about it first, if you lie to me again, this time you will have to drink. ”
"Gotta get it, don't you believe in my character? Drink and drink, after this altar, let's have another altar, and tomorrow we will take a good look at that magical sunflower, and you will just wait to be surprised. There are a lot of people watching this thing, let's go early, or we won't have to see it, there are crowds, piled up, the front is full of heads, look at a ghost, remember, go back and let my sister-in-law cook some sobering medicine, don't sleep until the sun is on the head. ”
"I know, I know, drink your bar, it's not enough to stop your mouth..."
……
Sunflowers? Could it be that the golden sea of flowers mentioned in the Yinchuan story refers to the sunflowers? That is, the sunflower that later generations talked about. This is reasonable, and the time of introduction is also correct, almost more than ten years ago, according to the original place where the story was told, the sea of flowers should be pointing to sunflowers.
Ye Lingfeng wanted to prove his conjecture, and after Li Qinglu finished eating, he hurriedly paid for the wine at the counter, took her hand, and ran directly to the sea of sunflower flowers behind the city gate.
"It's dark now, and you can't see anything here, but when the first rays of morning light shine down at dawn, it will become an endless sea of golden flowers." Ye Lingfeng smiled gently, patted Li Qinglu's shoulder lightly and said: "Let's go back first, I'll bring you here again tomorrow morning, don't worry, with my light skills, I will definitely let you see the entire sea of flowers at a glance, just rest well tonight, it seems that you will get up very early tomorrow." ”
Li Qinglu smiled faintly, suddenly pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "Ye Lang, although I'm a little sorry to say this, I want to wait here, okay?" It was on this city wall that you stayed with me all night, and I wanted to see the sunflower rising tomorrow morning, and if I came from that inn, what I saw... It shouldn't be the real sea of golden flowers mentioned in the story. ”
