Chapter 179 First Climb to Bauhinia Island
As soon as she saw the big bed in front of her, Xia Qiu really felt a sense of fatigue all over her body. This was the first time that she had such a real sense of fatigue in a state of separation. She lifted the veil curtain and fell towards ** with her arms around Xiao Libai. **'s bedding and pillows were made of cotton, emitting a fragrance of the sun. This was the smell she had liked since she was a child. The smell of the bedding and clothes washed by her grandmother smelled the same. She called it the smell of the sun.
She curled up and relied on the temperature of the little pear white to give herself some warmth. Since she woke up in the realm of soul separation, she has been experiencing escape and adventure, and there is no time to think about too many other things. But now, when she is alone in a closed space, the fear that her body is being occupied by other souls, the unknown of the vast road ahead, the loneliness and helplessness in the alien world... All the emotions are like waves rolling towards her, and she is like a boat in the sea swinging left and right, which makes her unable for a moment. I cried restrainedly.
In this way, she didn't know how long she had been crying. After crying, she fell asleep. After sleeping for a while, there was a knock on the door downstairs. She got up drowsily and walked down the stairs. After opening the sliding door, he found the elk fairy standing outside the door, holding a rectangular wooden tray in his hand, on which there were neatly stacked several cotton clothes and towels.
After the elk fairy saluted her, and then looked in the direction of the bathroom in the room, Xia Qiu roughly understood that he wanted to ask himself if he wanted to take a shower. So she nodded and said, "I just studied it and didn't figure out how to release hot water."
Elk Fairy smiled slightly, then walked into the bathroom, first put the tray in her hand on the shelf on one side, then walked to the rectangular bath, skillfully pulled a rope hanging from the ceiling, and turned a red valve on the wall. The hot water came from a round hole in the wall. It comes out, and the water can just be poured into the bathtub. He specially showed it to Xia Qiu again, and the hot water will stop when turning the red valve again.
"It's so convenient!" Xia Qiu couldn't help sighing, feeling that this was similar to the design of the human water heater.
When Elk Deerxian saw that she had figured out how to use hot water, he retreated. Before closing the door, he compared with her for a long time, and she suddenly understood that he was asking her to eat downstairs after taking a shower. It's strange to say that although he can't say a word, he can express all his meanings in body language as if he had magic.
It's really comfortable to take a hot bath on the first day of reaching the infinite heaven. The water here is very good, and the water seems to have been soaked in petals and other things, and you can faintly smell a fragrance. After taking a bath, Xia Qiu changed into the cotton clothes that Elk Fairy just brought for her. On this set of beige trousers, the cuffs and neckline were embroidered with small and lovely purple flowers.
It was already evening. She walked out of the room, walked down the stairs of the square hall, and came to the first floor of the building. Ouyang Xueye was sitting on the extended platform drinking wine alone. When he saw her coming down, he waved to her. After she walked over, he pointed to the direction of the sky and said to her, "Look, the moon in this world is very special!"
"There are seven moons!" Xia Qiu looked in the direction he pointed, and there were seven moons in the sky circled each other.
"Yes, this is the unique seven-color moon in the infinite heaven. They correspond to the seven islands here." Ouyang Xueye explained to her, and then put his wine glass on the table next to him and stood up and said, "Are you hungry? Let's go to dinner!"
"Have you been waiting for me?" Xia Qiu asked.
"Yes, it's rare to have someone to have a meal with me." Ouyang Xueye's eyes are more charming under the reflection of the seven-color moon, and although his face is smiling, he is a little lonely.
"Wouldn't the elk fairy have dinner with you?" Xia Qiu asked curiously.
"I want him to eat with me. Unfortunately, he can't eat meat and greasy food. He can only eat some vegetables and fruits. If he eats the same food as him, I will become a rabbit." Ouyang Xueye joked.
Xia Qiu sat down with him at the round table in the middle. The elk fairy brought the prepared dishes one by one and poured a glass of juice for Xia Qiu. She really didn't expect to have such a rich dinner in this place.
"Try the craft of the elk fairy! He is the best housekeeper in the infinite world. Not only can he easily complete all the housework by himself, but he is also quite good at cooking! These vegetables and the fruits that make juice are all grown by the souls of the dead on the hedge island, and the meat is from Chengshan Island. They were only transported by ship this morning, so they are very fresh!" Ouyang Xueye said.
Xia Qiu first tried a bite of green vegetables. The dish looked colorful. She thought that such a fancy dish would not be too delicious, but she found that the taste was unexpectedly good when she put it in her mouth.
"This dish consists of seven different vegetables. They come in exactly seven colors, and they are all shredded, so I named it Seven-color Xuanyue." Ouyang Xueye said.
He did not move his chopsticks, but dragged his cheeks to look at Xia Qiu. He couldn't help thinking that his son Ouyang Xiao Leng was the same age as her. It would be great if he could sit down and have a meal with him and Ran Susu. He had long guessed that the relationship between the girl in front of him and his son Ouyang Xiao Leng was not just as simple as the blood alliance signator. The light in her eyes when she mentioned his name, and he had also seen it in the eyes of his wife Ran Susu.
Xia Qiu picked up another piece of meat and put it in the mouth. The meat was fat but not greasy, and there was a faint floral fragrance, which reminded her of grandma's cooking.
"Do you know? This is venison! Of course, it is a very special deer. I don't know what the elk fairy put in it, so that there will be the fragrance of flowers!" Ouyang Xueye said and turned to the elk fairy guarding beside him, "The elk fairy, although it is not made of purple elk, it is at least a kind of deer. Don't you feel like you can't do it when you cook this dish?"
The elk fairy smiled faintly, but her eyes seemed to say: Don't you eat deliciously every time?
Xia Qiu couldn't help laughing. Ouyang Xueye's personality was completely different from Ouyang Xiao Leng's. In fact, she had this feeling as early as when she saw the two calligraphy hanging in the hall. Those two lines of poems were obviously not neat, but they were put together without losing coordination. His personality is likely to be free and unrestrained, which is the opposite of Ouyang Xiao Leng's depression and introvertedness.
After dinner, Ouyang Xueye invited her to sit on the platform with herself, then handed over a glass of wine, poured her a glass of wine and said, "What can I do without wine to enjoy the moon?"
"Can I..." Xia Qiu was still a little hesitant.
"You can drink alcohol when you become an adult at the age of 12, and there is not even such a restriction in the infinite heaven. This wine is brewed by the dead soul on Qingmei Island. Although the taste is much worse than Ouyang Yong's hidden wine, it is comparable to the demon wine. You can take a sip and have a taste. After saying that, Ouyang Xueye drank all the wine in his glass.
Xia Qiu also drank another glass. The wine tasted sweet, which made her mistakenly think that its degree was very low. Unexpectedly, she didn't know anything without drinking a few cups. In the morning, she felt a little cold on her face and nose. When she opened her eyes, she found that Xiao Libai was touching her face with her nose. She could not remember when she returned to the room, but this infinite wine would not have a headache even if she was drunk the next day.
When she walked downstairs, she found that Elk Fairy had prepared several sets of clothes for her on the chair. After a simple wash, she couldn't help walking outside the house, thinking about what kind of training Ouyang Xueye would arrange for her today. Who knew that after walking downstairs, he was pressed to the chair by the elk fairy for breakfast. She asked him where Ouyang Xueye had gone. He just shook his head and pointed to the distance.
I thought he would come back after breakfast, but she waited until the evening to do nothing before he came back on the jade horse yesterday. And he was also with Wuyou Shengtong, who had been drinking and chatting all night, leaving her no chance to interrupt at all. She had no choice but to go back to her room to rest, trying to wait until the next day.
As a result, the situation was still the same the next day. She had nothing to do, so she helped Elk Fairy do some cleaning work. When he was cooking, she helped him. She liked the old fairy from the bottom of her heart and had much contact with him. She found that he was not only good at housework and cooking. It turned out that the clothes he wore were all sewn by him, and the patterns on them were also embroidered by him himself.
Although the time spent with the elk fairy is also very interesting, with the passage of time, Xia Qiu is more and more worried about her situation. In fact, how can she not worry? Her body is being occupied by other souls little by little, and her life is constantly being swallowed up, and those enemies in white cloaks from unknown sources may appear again and attack her at any time, and how can she pass through the barrier formed by the waterfall... But why is Ouyang Xueye? I'm not in a hurry at all.
Five days passed unconsciously. On the sixth day, she got up very early. Before dawn, she got up and waited for Ouyang Snowy Night. This time, she had to tell him her sense of urgency anyway. Unexpectedly, Ouyang got up very late that night. He walked down the stairs and yawned lazily. When he saw Xia Qiu, he raised one hand and said, "Good morning! Why did you get up so early?"
"I'm waiting for you on my part. I hope you can start training for me as soon as possible, because there is not much time left for me!" Xia Qiu said bluntly.
After listening to her words, Ouyang Xueye suddenly cheered up, narrowed his eyes and walked to the platform with a smile, followed by Xia Qiu. He took her to the edge of the platform and pushed her down coldly before she could speak again.
She said, "Ah!" He screamed and fell off the platform, and his heart was about to jump out of his mouth. It was still some distance from the ground under the purple cloud. She thought to herself: This Ouyang Snowy Night is too cruel, isn't it?!! I'm just complaining about his lack of rigorous attitude, and he doesn't have to kill me. But what does it feel like to die in this infinite heaven? Aren't all the souls who exist here?
