Chapter 533 Under the Deep Mountains
Mr. Mingyue, Feng Cailing and the soul messenger had breakfast, and drove on a sleigh to get out of the north gate of Liaodong County and went all the way to the northwest.
Crossing the Three River Plain and passing through many rivers. In the first lunar month, it is frozen several feet, and the sleigh is easy to pass, but this road is much colder than in the ice valley.
The bright moon and the soul messenger took turns driving a sleigh, day and night. On the third day of the ice valley, that is, on the afternoon of the eighth day of the first lunar month, they arrived at the legendary Long Ridge, which runs thousands of miles from north to south.
The enchanted messenger raised his whip and pointed to him, "Brother Mingyue, Feng Cailing, you see, this area of the mountain road is rugged and it is not easy to walk. It should reach the boundary of Changling. The mountains are connected by mountains and mountains are connected by mountains. Although it runs through the north and south, it will take us a full day to cross from east to west."
Mr. Mingyue was secretly surprised and said with a wry smile, "I also said that it was early today, but it was only afternoon. We could cross the Changling before dark. Who would have expected that it would take a day to spend the night in the mountains?"
The soul messenger sighed, "I'm afraid it's just like this. There are forests and seas everywhere in the long mountains, which are more evil than the mountains that are not salty. The mountain roads are difficult to walk. What's more important is that there are few people and it is difficult to find places to stay."
Mr. Mingyue said, "Then we will rush there overnight, and it's not too late to find a night after passing Lingxi."
The soul messenger shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The shadows of Changling Mountain are stacked. It is still easy to get lost during the day and even more deadly at night. We can't get out of it. We are not far from Changling now. We just hope to meet a few families, or cabins commonly used by hunters, rest overnight, and rush across Changling early tomorrow morning. ."
Feng Cailing was deeply convinced and nodded and said, "Well, it's not too late to find a place to live before dark. It's not too late to leave tomorrow. It's really cold between the mountains."
The enchanted messenger drove a sleigh west into a hundred miles of mountain road. I didn't know how many mountains had passed, but I still didn't see people, not even the cabin where the hunter used to live, let alone the village.
The forest is vast, and the mountains are old and forests are deep. Look at the sun is west, and the sun will set in half an hour, and the soul messenger is very anxious.
Mr. Mingyue comforted and said, "At worst, we can find a sleigh in the leet. It seems that the deep mountains and forests are full of forests, and we can't reach the end of the dark."
The soul messenger had to nod and said, "In the past, when I crossed Changling, I used to take a day off before walking. Today, I was in a hurry. I'm afraid that I missed the lodging of Qianling, and it would be difficult to find someone again. Well, it seems that we are really going to sleep in the mountains.
While talking, as soon as I turned around a hill, I saw a smoke rising from afar. Mr. Mingyue was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Look, there is a house under the ridge!"
When the enchanted messenger saw it, he said strangely, "Huh? Where did the people come from in this deep mountains and forests? Suwen has never had a hunter in this area. They are all hunting in Qianling. No one dares to go deep into the ridge. Is this family a new mover?
Mr. Mingyue smiled and said, "Who knows, or whether it's the newcomer, or the residence of the mountain forest hermit. Let's go to the mountains and have a look."
The enchanted messenger drove the sled to the bottom of the ridge and clearly saw three small cabins side by side. There were wisps of smoke coming from the chimney. The enchanted messenger smiled and said, "It seems that it is the temporary residence of the hunters, built under the ridge."
When it came to the front, the enchanted messenger shouted, "Is there anyone in the room? We are guests from afar. Let's stay here for one night!"
No one answered in the wooden house. At this time, it was already sunset, and the twilight came. Mr. Mingyue and Feng Cailing jumped on the snow sled. The soul messenger also found a pine and tied the horse and followed them into the cabin.
I went around the three cabins, but I couldn't find anyone. I saw a fire on the stove. Obviously, the owner of the house didn't leave for a long time.
Obviously, this is not the temporary residence of the hunters mentioned by the soul messenger, because each room is clean and tidy and placed in an orderly manner. I think it is from the girl's handwriting. It seems that the Mingyue and the soul messenger will not stack the bed so neatly under any circumstances.
Feng Cailing saw the bronze mirror and dressing table in the wooden house and said with a smile, "Where is the temporary residence of the hunter? It's obviously the lady's boudoir. Presumably there must be a lady or a hostess living here."
Mr. Mingyue said strangely, "But what about the master? It's really strange that we only see empty houses and don't see their owners.
The soul messenger laughed and said, "There is a house to live in, a stove for heating, and what else do you need? I don't know if the owner who came here goes into the mountain to hunt. Let's stay first and wait until they come back."
Mr. Mingyue smiled and said, "That's right. Well, there is everything. It seems that there is nothing to eat. It seems that the owner of this room is really going to hunt for food."
Feng Cailing said, "What shall we eat?" There is no air-dried bacon hanging in the wooden house, and I don't know when the owner of the wooden house will come back. Even if he comes back, he will not expect us to come back. Can the three of us eat the prey? Why don't we go into the mountains to find some game?
The enchanted messenger clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay! Oh, it's just that it's getting dark, and I'm afraid it's not easy to hunt for prey.
Mr. Mingyue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I heard that many beasts only come out at night. In such a deep mountain, are you afraid that it has no game? Ha ha, we're leaving now, but just walk around the ridge. Don't get lost. It's terrible if we can't find it back.
Feng Cailing nodded and said, "Well, let's go. Now that we have a place to live, we are relieved and have time to hunt."
The three roasted the fire and went out of the wooden house ridge to look for prey. On the east side of the ridge on the way to and from phoenix Cailing, the soul messenger went to Lingxi alone and invited them within half an hour. Whether they could not find their prey, they had to go back to the cabin to avoid going far away and getting lost in the mountains.
Mr. Mingyue and Feng Cailing performed light skills and turned around the forest sea around the mountains. They were all on their way. There was no prey and nothing was found.
Mr. Mingyue proposed to go further and look elsewhere, but Feng Cailing discouraged him and said, "That's all, Brother Gouhun is still familiar with the mountain road. When we first arrived, our eyes were blackened, and we couldn't even find it. It's better to go back early. Maybe Brother Gouhun has already hit the prey."
Mr. Mingyue nodded and said, "Well, Brother Gouhun is experienced. If it comes to hunting, it is indeed much better than the two of us combined."
The two turned around under the mountain again, and the mountains looked even more dark and towering under the night. When he came to the three cabins, the yellow oil lamp lights were lit in the middle. Feng Cailing said happily, "Look! There is a lamp in the room. Brother Gouhun must have come back first.
Mr. Mingyue pushed open the small wooden door and muttered that the mountain wind was so strong and squeaked, but he couldn't help but be shocked and almost dissipated.
Feng Cailing saw his stunned look and said strangely, "What's wrong? What's so strange?"
Mr. Mingyue said, "Look!"
In the suddenly extinguished candle shadow, a woman sat in front of the table, dressed in flowers and branches. She was charming and dressed in purple-red dresses, but the upper body was a snow-white fox fur surrounded by a delicate face. She was also a phoenix eye. Her bright eyes and teeth were not as clear as Feng Cailing's eyes. On the contrary, she was a little like the blurred phoenix eyes of Murong's red sleeves. The long eyelashes seem to be painted with light cyan eye shadow, more like the charming eyes of a fox, holding their hands and full of things on their minds.
Feng Cailing also gasped. Looking at this woman's dress, it's too enchanting. In this deep mountain and old forest, is it a demon?
Mr. Mingyue's face was full of confusion and asked, "Huh? Who are you?"
Feng Cailing was also surprised: "Where did you come from!" How did you get to the foot of the mountain, where did this deep mountain and old forest come from?
The enchanting woman threw a charming eye and stared at Mr. Mingyue for a long time. It seemed that the blurred phoenix's eyes were full of enchanting brilliance and sighed, "Oh, there is such a handsome and beautiful teenager in the world, what a little white face."
Feng Cailing was furious and said coldly, "I'm so shameless! No one's big girl is ashamed to speak.
Mr. Mingyue was very useful when he heard this and said with a smile, "May I have a straightforward and naive temper. It's understandable to say whatever you think of."
Feng Cailing snorted coldly and stopped talking.
The enchanting woman looked forward to it. She looked up and down at the phoenix picking bell and also sighed, "There are such beautiful women in the world. A pair of phoenix eyes are more beautiful than mine. I really can't wait to dig it out to relieve my anger."
Feng Cailing shivered and shouted, "You! Are you talking about human language or nonsense?
Mr. Mingyue smiled bitterly and said, "This charming beauty, you are joking, which almost scared my friend. I think your eyes are also quite beautiful. They are very charming and fascinating. They are really a pair of charming eyes.
The enchanting woman was in full bloom. Seeing the sincerity of what Mr. Mingyue said, it didn't seem to be flattering. Yingying smiled and said, "Really? That's what I said to you, hey, I won't dig her eyes, hey! Why don't you close the door? It's freezing!"
Mr. Mingyue was originally shocked for a long time. Seeing that the demonic woman in the demon is just dressed up, she speaks softly to the bone. Although the crisp person has been numb for a long time, it is not very awkward, but the village girl in the mountain will not dress up like this. Whether it is a person or a monster, even she is confused, but For the sake of talking to herself, she quickly closed the door and smiled, "Oh! Sorry, I forgot to close the door.
Feng Cailing said lightly, "Where did the witch come from? She is really a fox charming boy. It's just dressed as a beautiful demon, but she speaks coquettishly. Can't you talk well?"
The enchanting woman said lazily, "How do you know I'm a witch?" Humph! This is how I always talk, and I don't need you to teach me a lesson.
Feng Cailing is angry and funny. She can't help saying strangely, "You still call yourself an old man. Are you old? How old are you? I don't think it's as big as me."
The enchanting woman pulled her face and said, "I'm 17 years old this year. How about you?"
Feng Cailing said faintly, "I won't tell you."
Mr. Mingyue smiled secretly. It was clear that he didn't know how old he was. Mr. Mingyue smiled quietly and said, "Princess Feng Cailing, you are 19 years old."
The phoenix picking bell was amused by him, and the flowers trembled with a smile. It was easy to stop and glanced at Mr. Mingyue.
The enchanting woman hooked her legs on the table, stretched her long waist, and suddenly slapped the table and pointed to the phoenix Cailing and said, "What are you doing standing? Pour me some water."
When Feng Cailing was about to attack, Mr. Mingyue quickly stopped and asked, "I don't know where this girl is from? Is it the owner of this house?"
The enchanting woman was different from the bright moon. She looked forward to it and said with a smile, "Yes? Do you know at this moment?"
Mr. Mingyue and Feng Cailing were stunned. No wonder she took this place as her home. It turned out to be the owner of the cabin here.
Feng Cailing frowned secretly and couldn't help saying, "Even if you are the owner here, you can't dictate to our guests from afar. I'm not your maid. Why should I pour water for you?"
The enchanting woman said leisurely, "It was not in the past, from now on, that's it."
Feng Cailing still wanted to argue with her, but Mr. Mingyue smiled and said, "Since we are the master of this room, we are going to stay with you for one night. I don't know what you want?"
The enchanting woman smiled and said, "But it's okay to live. Even if I live all the time, I'm not disgusted."
Mr. Mingyue saw that she was bold and reasonable and said with a smile, "In that case, thank you, hostess. I don't know who the hostess's surname is and who else lives in these three cabins?"
The enchanting woman said, "My name is Mei Niang. This young man is really very smart. The little woman is indeed not living here alone. She is just taking care of the cabin under the ridge for my master. If anyone comes, come to entertain her. In addition to me, there is also a sister."
Mr. Mingyue smiled and said, "Mei Niang? Ha ha, this name is good, oh! It turns out that you are also a messenger under people and are responsible for taking care of these three cabins.
Mr. Mingyue looked at Mei Niang and secretly guessed what kind of master she had? Is it the home of the rich near Changling? Is this all her master's mountain field?
Mei Niang sighed, "The little woman is just a miserable maid. She is not as free as you two."
Only then did Feng Cailing realize that she had asked herself to pour water. It turned out that it was not her intention, but that her master usually dictated her and had nowhere to complain.
Feng Cailing sympathized with her and said, "No wonder you are dressed in gorgeous and gorgeous. I think it's also your master who wants you to dress up as so enchanting. Although you are not as beautiful, you are really not as free as us."
Mei Niang said lightly, "We have always dressed up as enchantingly, but we are not forced by the master."
