Chapter 2, Section 19 The Flower of the Valley
"Girl, where do you come from?" asked the woman, "girl?"
You Boyun came back to his senses at this time, "What?"
The woman comforted, "Girl, your body is important, come, taste this." As he spoke, he handed You Boyun a yellow clay pot.
You Boyun took it and saw that the jar was only half the size of a fist, oval-shaped, and made of carved yellow clay. Peel off the closure and lift the lid of the jar, revealing a mass of waxy crystals inside. Pour out the crystals, gently crush, and flow out a golden yellow viscous paste like Qiongyu, sweet and fragrant.
According to the woman's wishes, You Boyun sucked the paste into her mouth, and suddenly felt that the touch was smooth and delicate, as if there were hundreds of flowers blooming in her mouth at the same time, and her mouth was soaked in sweetness. When swallowing lightly, a warm stream of sweetness penetrates from the throat into the abdomen, which makes people feel refreshed and the whole body is comfortable.
You Boyun couldn't help but praise again and again, and asked the woman, "What is this?
The woman smiled and said, "Can you still eat it?"
You Boyun nodded, and then buried his face again. "It would be nice to be able to eat with Brother Lin..."
The woman said: "Girl, don't worry, eat some more, not far in front of you to the Hanji Valley, where there are twilight flowers, outsiders will be poisoned when they smell the fragrance of the flowers, you come for the first time, you need to eat more Lan ointment to be safe." As he spoke, he handed over three more clay pots.
In normal times, You Boyun will definitely smash his mouth and eat them all. Now she barely ate one more, but she fed the remaining two to Lin Feng.
The woman said: "The pill that the slave family gave him just now is an antidote, and its effect is much stronger than that of the Lan ointment, so you should eat it yourself, girl." ”
You Boyun agreed, and went to probe Lin Feng's cheek again, feeling that although his body was cold, his breathing was quite even. Thinking that if he didn't have the strength and couldn't take care of Lin Feng's safety, he swallowed the remaining Lan Paste in two mouthfuls.
After another moment, it was getting late. You Boyun saw a large thin mist flowing from the flat river in front of him. The woman led the group to turn left and right, and stepped onto a dirt path. The dirt road winds downward, surrounded by clusters of strange flowers that Boyun has never seen before. Flowers are one person high, some are four or five people high, and there are all kinds of shapes and fragrances. After walking for another half an hour, the sky was completely dark, and the five fingers were nowhere to be seen, and the path disappeared into the sea of flowers. The woman stood on tiptoe, then walked in one direction without hesitation.
You Boyun couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could the woman be able to find the direction in the dark? Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw a bright white light light up in the swaying flowers. At first, You Boyun thought it was the moon, but as he walked, the light became bigger and brighter. You Boyun stood on tiptoe, and finally saw clearly that the light turned out to be a huge white tree, the trunk of which was crystal white, emitting a soft light comparable to the bright moon.
Unexpectedly, there is such a huge firefly tree in this valley! Its pure fluorescent light sprinkled all over the depths of the canyon, and the flowers seem to be dressed in a light and agile white gauze dress, and when the breeze comes, they dance in this vast and quiet valley, humming fresh songs and spitting fragrant words. The clouds seemed to be attracted, reflecting the clear glow of the white trees, floating in the sky with the song of the flowers. You Boyun was stunned for a while, and unconsciously followed the woman into the Qifu tribe.
Like the Xuanyi tribe, the Xufu tribe is built around a giant tree in the center, but there are no fences and sentry posts to defend against foreign enemies. You Boyun looked at the white tree closely, and saw its majesty, but this white tree was no longer a living thing, there were only a few bare branches on the thick trunk, and the trunk was empty. The Furry carved several staircases along the dry walls of the giant trees, spiraling upwards to connect hundreds of sleek houses. Some of them hang in the air, some cling to the walls of trees, and the outer walls are coated with a layer of yellow wax. Looking up from below, it is like a gorgeous crystal chandelier hanging from the starry sky, exquisite.
The wide hole at the base of the white tree had been built into a hall by the Lifelike Clansmen, and many Lifelike Clansmen had gathered in the hall at this time. When everyone saw the pious girl being carried, the unconscious Lin Feng and the ragged You Boyun, they all whispered and talked about it.
The woman approached and greeted several old women with serious expressions, and then explained the matter to them in general. The old women sighed, and after a few more discussions, they gave the woman something.
The woman walked back to You Boyun and said, "Girl, rest here, and the elders will heal your companion at once." ”
You Boyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed deeply in the direction of the old women. She wanted to follow, but seeing that the woman was willing to do so, she was not stubborn, so she had to let the Xurong people carry Lin Feng and Bian Jian into a side room next to the hall.
