Chapter 34: The Mysterious Forest
Everything was fine in Chengming Valley, no one went to harass him during the period of his absence, and the people in the valley were all safe, and there was no conflict.
He lived in the valley for a while, and when he looked around, he found that everything in the valley was the same as before, except that the black and white flowers on the mountainsides on both sides were better than before.
One morning, she got up early and walked casually in the valley alone, and walked to the pool of tomorrow night, where she gave birth to herself, and when the water froze again, she didn't bother to break it, so she went to wander elsewhere.
After walking more than ten steps forward, she suddenly stopped, because she remembered one thing, her saber had been lost during the battle with Phantom Dust, and it was actually captured by the other party.
The loss of the saber didn't seem to be very dignified, or rather a bit embarrassing, so she should go to the phantom dust and get the saber back. I thought that I would take the first son to see Ah Yao anyway, and then I would go to the Illusion Realm by the way.
When the time comes, let's go to the Fantasy Realm by the way, uh, I have to say that she thinks about this matter really simply.
On the third day after leaving Hongmeng Island, after lunch, Qinghuan went to find Ru Chujian, although she had lived on Hongmeng Island for many years, she still hadn't taken a good look at the scenery on the island.
Because her sister Feng Kite was not interested in wandering around, the leaning sister was too lazy to wander with her, and she didn't want to go around alone, and it happened that there was a newcomer on the island, and Qing Huan set his sights on his brother and sister again.
When Qinghuan used to be in the courtyard where he first met, he was reading a book in his room alone, and the younger sister was still taking a nap.
In the end, in the unbearable situation, Ruchumi finally agreed to accompany Qinghuan for a walk, but her sister insisted on sleeping and refused to go together.
The two of them walked out of the courtyard and went west, crossed a small stream, and crossed a lotus pond, and when they saw a flower in full bloom, they encountered a cloud and rain.
As a result, they were drenched unsuspectingly, and the clouds and rain came and went suddenly, but the work of the tea stopped, and the sun was shining blue. As I first saw it, I said, "It's better to go back if you're wet."
Where is Qinghuan willing to agree, how can he go back like this when he finally finds someone to hang out with him, if he first sees her, he can't beat her, so he has to blame and obey orders.
Then I picked up some wood nearby to make a fire, because the rain was not heavy and lasted for a short time, so the firewood was not soaked, and some of the lower ones were not wet at all.
After successfully lighting the fire, the two of them set up a simple shelf on the side, and then took off their coats and put them on the shelf, the soaked clothes were still emitting moisture in the temperature of the firewood.
They sat down next to each other to roast the fire, and the Qinghuan who had just sat down said that there must be fish in the lotus pond that they had just passed, so it was better to catch two and roast them.
As the first time I saw it, I quickly shook my head and said that I couldn't catch fish, and I wasn't hungry, Qinghuan said that you are a weak scholar, and I didn't expect you to go, so I got up and went to catch fish.
After Qinghuan left, he sat alone in front of the fire in a daze when he first saw him, but it turned out to be just a panicked child, and Qinghuan smiled and grabbed a red carp and came back, the carp was dead and was inserted in a peach branch.
As he was stunned when he first saw it, he asked, "This, so fast?"
Qinghuan walked over with a smug face, and said while sitting down: "Of course, I'm a phoenix, and catching a fish is not a matter of catching a fish?"
When I first saw it, I asked, "Does the phoenix like to eat fish?"
Qinghuan stretched the carp on the peach branch to the fire, pouted, and said, "Hmm...... Some like and some don't, and I belong to the kind I like. ”
He nodded as if he didn't understand at first sight, and then picked up a branch and played around on the ground, no longer speaking.
The flowers in front of him are blooming brilliantly, and there is a blood-red color, which is kapok.
Smelling the fragrance of kapok, basking in the warm sun, surrounding a bonfire, drying clothes and grilling fish, it is also a pleasant thing to taste carefully.
Xu was too comfortable, and before she knew it, she and he snuggled up and fell asleep. Qinghuan leaned on the shoulder of Ru Chujian, and Ru Chujian's head was lightly leaning on Qing Huan's loose hair.
Falling asleep in the sunshine, falling asleep in the fragrance of flowers, I wonder if there will still be flowers blooming and the sun is still warm in the dream on the other side.
I don't know how long later, a blood-colored kapok petal fell down, hit the warm jade face that I saw for the first time, and then slipped down and landed right in the palm of his open hand.
At this time, Ru Chujian suddenly woke up from his dream, but there was a look of surprise on his always calm face.
For this sudden action, Qinghuan, who didn't know what kind of dream she was dreaming, was a little unlucky, she was originally leaning on Yang Ziqing's shoulder, but the poor little head fell directly to the ground, accompanied by a "scream" of "ah", she was also reluctant to say goodbye to the beautiful dream.
So he woke up, and the fire was extinguished, and his clothes were dry, but the fish were roasted.
Bidding farewell to the sweet dream filled with the fragrance of flowers, Qinghuan gently rubbed his "attacked" head, and opened his tired eyes just to see the residual shock on his face, the original thunderous anger was about to explode, but the anger dissipated when he saw him like this.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, no, nothing. Ru Hatsumi shook his head and replied with a stiff smile.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, my fish ......" Turning his head to see the red carp in his hand that had been roasted and blackened, Qinghuan was so angry and anxious that he almost cried.
"My Fish...... My fish turned out to be grilled. As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Ru Chumi, who was beside him, "Hmph, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you falling asleep, how would my fish be baked." ”
Ru Chujian felt very wronged, but he didn't reason with her, just smiled in response, because he really didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if he refuted it himself.
Seeing that he didn't open his mouth to argue, Qinghuan felt bored, so he had to throw away the roasted fish, put on his clothes and continue walking.
After bidding farewell to the kapok, they crossed another hill, and when the slanting sun dyed the sky red, the two came to a slightly sparse dwarf forest.
There was a faint green mist in the forest, and when I stepped into it, a wisp of tranquility hit, but I felt refreshed, and the previous fatigue was gone.
These trees, which I don't know what to call them, have green leaves fluttering on their branches, but they have fallen to the ground and withered yellow, life and death, prosperity and decline, or ......
Strange to say, the sun went down but it didn't get dark, and then another ray of sunlight crept up in the eastern sky.
Only then did I see the sunset, and the morning dawn came. I don't know if time flies too quickly, or if the people in this realm have lost some memories, as if everything in this low forest is full of mystery.
