Ling Muer was a little moved. But Shangguan Shaochen looked away, and his expression was very complicated. She knew she was thinking too much.
For a moment just now, his eyes were a little empty, as if what she saw through her was someone else. In other words, that sentence was not addressed to her, but to someone else.
Ling Muer was not disappointed either. If Shangguan Shaochen really said such things to her, she would feel terrified! After all, she is not a beautiful woman, he wants to treat her so well.
After calming down, Ling Muer began to feel embarrassed. The place where the flower grows is so steep, even Shangguan Shaochen, who has high martial arts skills, can't climb it. As long as there is a rope, it's all right, with her climbing ability, no matter how high the mountain is, she is not afraid. However, she doesn't have any tools now, and all she can rely on is the hands in front of her.
That flower can bear colorful fruit. It takes a hundred years to sprout, a hundred years to grow, a hundred years to bloom, a hundred years to bear fruit, and finally a hundred years to mature. It takes a total of five hundred years to pluck the fruit. So such a bouquet of flowers has experienced an age beyond human imagination. Human beings have gone through several generations of changes, but it has been growing well there.
Of course, the reason why she took a fancy to it was not because it was rare, but because of its function.
Its fruit is colorful. One of them can increase one's internal strength, one can turn an ugly woman into a stunning beauty, and one can improve her physique and increase her lifespan... As for the other four's role, it is still unclear. No one found out. Because until today, only three people in the legend ate it, so its function was known.
"Brother, where are you going?" Ling Muer saw Shangguan Shaochen walking towards the cliff, and hurriedly called him. "It's too dangerous there. You don't want to go."
Shangguan Shaochen rolled up his sleeves, jumped up and walked towards the cliff.
Ling Mu'er's voice came from behind, but Shangguan Shaochen didn't hear it.
He looked at the flower with sharp eyes, as if he was facing thousands of troops instead of a dead thing.
The girl said, dig out the roots and flowers together. In other words, there must be absolutely no damage.
When Ling Muer rushed to the edge of the cliff, Shangguan Shaochen had already jumped over it. Now there is still snow everywhere, and the rocks are very slippery, but he is holding on to those rocks to climb.
It is too dangerous.
His whole body is suspended in the air.
Ling Muer was in a hurry right now. She felt a little regretful, if she had known... she would dig again another day.
Of course she couldn't give up such a good treasure, but she regretted not stopping Shangguan Shaochen. In other words, she should stop talking about its preciousness and leave here pretending not to care.
Now that Shangguan Shaochen is halfway there, she can no longer disturb him. All she had to do was watch his movements and pray for his safe return.
"Here we are." Ling Muer stared wide-eyed, watching Shangguan Shaochen's movements in surprise.
At this moment, Shangguan Shaochen had already touched the flower. However, that flower is very precious, as long as the strength is not used properly, it can be easily uprooted. If you are not careful, those rhizomes will be injured, maybe all the previous efforts will be in vain, and the flower will lose its life.
Although Shangguan Shaochen looks rough, he is not a careless person. Holding the rock with one hand, he slowly planed the root of the flower with the other.
"Don't let anything happen to you." Ling Muer watched Shangguan Shaochen's movements intently. "As long as the person comes back, it's fine. I...don't want anything."
Although it is a pity, such a flower is simply called a treasure. If people in the Jianghu knew of its existence, they would probably be bloodied. And those in power in the court, if they know that there is such a treasure that can make them immortal and increase their lifespan by decades, they will even fight to the death.
Shangguan Shaochen finally pulled out the root of that flower. He put it on his lips, being careful not to bruise it. Then he walked back.
Ling Muer took a few steps forward and stood on the edge of the cliff looking at him. She stretched out a hand and pulled towards Shangguan Shaochen who was already close to her.
Shangguan Shaochen staggered away from her hand, fell to the ground slowly, and stopped carefully. At this time, his face was covered with sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Brother, you are really messing around." Ling Muer took the flower carefully, and checked Shangguan Shaochen's body. "You're not hurt, are you?"
"Did you see me get hurt just now?" Shangguan Shaochen smiled lightly. "Look at this flower first, are you satisfied?"
Ling Muer looked down at the flowers in her hand, smiled softly and said, "Well, I'm very satisfied. Thank you."
"Let's go!" Shangguan Shaochen used his internal force to push the clothes dry. He took the pannier from Ling Muer's hand. He looked at the struggling rabbit in the basket and frowned.
Seeing that his expression was different, Ling Muer looked down and understood why he was like this. She said embarrassingly: "Just now I was only looking at you, but I didn't notice that the three rabbits left."
There were five rabbits in total, and now only two are left.
In fact, when the rabbit was struggling too much just now, she threw it into the space impatiently. The three rabbits didn't escape at all, but were 'raised' by her.
"It's okay, I'll catch a few more for you." Since he is the eldest brother of this girl, of course he can't just bear the reputation of a big brother. As long as he can take care of her, he will take care of her.
This mountain is his world, let alone a few rabbits, he can hunt even the most ferocious beasts. But with her personality, she would not accept his kindness.
Ling Muer followed Shangguan Shaochen to walk sideways in the mountains. After a while, several rabbits appeared in Ling Muer's hands.
Ling Muer decided to take these rabbits to the town and sell them. The three rabbits in the space kept their cubs, and there were a total of seven rabbits outside, leaving two for Ling Ziyu to raise and play, and selling the remaining five. At the current market price, one rabbit costs thirty yuan, and five rabbits cost one hundred and fifty yuan. Don't underestimate the one hundred and fifty articles, her start-up capital has been secured.
Ling Muer's black pearl-like eyes were shining brightly as she thought about the beautiful life in the future.
Sensing her good mood, Shangguan Shaochen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
They came to the place where the trap had just been dug. The trap has traces of being stepped on, but unfortunately there is nothing inside. It seems that the pheasants in the mountains are too cunning, and their wings are more flexible than domestic chickens. Even if they fall into a trap, they will fly up again as long as they are not dead.
"I have these few rabbits, all the problems are no longer a problem." Ling Mu'er said: "Brother, I will cook something delicious for you in a while."
"En." Shangguan Shaochen responded lightly. "It's getting late, let's go down the mountain!"
Ling Muer followed Shangguan Shaochen down the mountain.
They brought down seven rabbits. Ling Muer's pannier is too small, it can only hold three of them in total. The remaining four are in Shangguan Shaochen's hands. After going down the mountain, Shangguan Shaochen handed it to her.
Ling Muer was not polite to him either. She bid farewell to Shangguan Shaochen, and then took the rabbit home.
"Ah!" Yang looked at the things in Ling Muer's hand in surprise. "My dear, Mu'er, did you go to the mountain to poke a rabbit's nest?"
Ling Mu'er stuck out her tongue: "Mother, I don't have the ability. This was done by my foster brother."
"Brother Yi?" Yang was stunned. "When did you have a foster brother, why didn't I know?"
"I just prayed!" Ling Mu'er walked in with the rabbit as she spoke. He shouted inside: "August, come and see the rabbit."
Ling Ziyu came out from inside. He had waited outside for a long time just now, his little face was flushed from the cold, Yang finally coaxed her back to stay in the room.
Ling Ziyu's body was weak, and he caught wind and cold at every turn. A lot of money is spent on Ling Ziyu every time. Yang's love is not for money, but for this little son.
Yang Shi followed Ling Muer into the door. She closes the door.
"Mu'er, you didn't make it clear, who do you worship as your righteous brother?" Yang said angrily, "Girl, don't be fooled."
"Mother, that man is so powerful, how could he lie to me like a little girl?" Ling Mu'er turned to Yang while stuffing the rabbit to Ling Ziyu, "It's the elder brother Shangguan in the village. He is very good at hunting. You used to I’ve seen him too. If it wasn’t for him during this time, how could our family survive? The last time my brother and I went to my grandmother’s house from the mountains, he was also the one who sent me there.”
"It turned out to be him! But you haven't talked about him sending you to your grandmother's house before. But that little brother is really nice." When Yang heard that it was Shangguan Shaochen, she felt relieved.
When Ling Muer heard this, she couldn't help becoming curious. She asked, "Mother, you don't know him, why are you so worried about him?"
"Mother has lived half her life and has seen many people. Although that little brother has a cold face and looks tall and mighty, his eyes are very upright, and he is definitely not a bad person." Yang said: "There are so many rabbits, let's take them." Go to town and sell it?"
"Tomorrow, Dad will sell it in the town, and I will go to my grandmother's house. Mother, you stay and take care of my elder brother and younger brother." Ling Muer said while packing up the things she brought back.
She carefully put away those few eggs.
A total of five eggs, and eight eggs from Shangguan Shaochen, a total of thirteen eggs. In this way, she can make thirteen servings of omurice.
There was a knock on the door from outside.
Yang's body froze, his expression became ugly.
Ling Muer noticed her strangeness, and asked, "Mother..."
"It's like this every time. As long as there is something good in our house, they will follow. It seems that these few rabbits can't be kept anymore." Yang said bitterly.
Only then did Ling Muer realize what Yang Shi was afraid of. She thought the person knocking on the door was Mrs. Wang or the second aunt.
Those people left a great shadow in Yang's heart. As long as there is a slight disturbance, Yang will become extremely sensitive.
"Mother, don't worry, it's not them." Ling Mu'er said, "If it was them, they wouldn't be so gentle. You listen to the knock on the door, how polite you are. If I guessed correctly, it should be my brother-in-law. I sent eggs. Today I said on the mountain that I needed eggs for business, and he said he had eight eggs there, and he would send them to me later.”
"Ah? Then we let him stand outside for so long?" Yang Shi couldn't help becoming nervous when she heard this. "You girl, why didn't you say it earlier? It made us so rude."
Saying that, she ran out in a hurry.
Ling Muer was helpless. She looked at Ling Ziyu, pinched his little face and said, "Little August, do you like rabbits?"
