The plum of the eagle is like a knot

Chapter 34

Mei Xin and Master followed the river on the simple map drawn by the local Tu people and went down the river to the place where the river forks on the map.

In summer, the plentiful river rushes down from the deep valley between the two high mountains. Below the valley, there is a curl of cooking smoke, and a small village shaded by green trees can be vaguely seen.It seems that there is a place to stay tonight, instead of sleeping in cave rocks.

The master and the apprentice were hesitant about which direction to go, when suddenly a melodious folk song came from the green hills in the north: "In the sky~there are so many stars~" It was a pure mandarin, with a charming and bright voice, the master and the apprentice looked at each other and smiled .

Along the way, it's not that I haven't heard the singing of woodcutters and mountain people, but they are basically incomprehensible minority languages.Suddenly hearing the familiar language at this moment, I immediately feel very cordial.

"I only love the brightest one~" A thick male voice also came from the mountain in the south, it seems that young men and women are singing in antiphonal.

"Flowers are blooming all over the slope in May~" the female voice sang cheerfully.

"I only love the reddest one." The male voice continued.

"Camellia is as red as fire." The female voice followed closely.

"You are the most beautiful one." The male voice sang leisurely.

The two sang a few words in duet, and saw a beautiful woman in Yi costume on the green hill in the north flying across the rope between the two mountains, and met her lover on the mountain in the south.The two flirted for a while, and their voices gradually disappeared in the mountains and forests.

Although the small villages in the valley can be seen from a distance on the mountain here, the terrain in the mountain is complicated and the road is steep. To really get there, you have to cross two hills to get there. Ordinary people have to walk from morning to night. Even Huang Yaoshi's master and apprentice had to spend most of the day.

"If Hua usually likes to sing a song, the scenery in the mountains is very beautiful, why don't you sing a song too. The girl sang very melodiously just now." The master laughed, apparently caught by the singing of the two people just now Interested.

"My apprentice hums casually every day, so I can't compare with her." Mei Xin raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why don't master play a song for disciple?" I can joke a few words with the master.

"Your child, there is no big or small." Huang Yaoshi deliberately said with a straight face. "Don't sing too fast." Why is there a rush to tease the little apprentice... Huang Yaoshi tried his best to shake this feeling away from his mind.

"Yes, Master has orders that disciples dare not disobey~!" Walking with Master for the past few days, Mei Xin is no longer so afraid of him, and the feeling of awkwardness that she had before is gone.After thinking about it, he let go of his voice and sang:

"I see all the flowers blooming all over the mountain

faintly singing

It's the brightest smile

brighter than the sun

A spring of rippling clear water

what a beautiful little village

I see faintly floating clouds

Printed on a floral dress..."

The lyrics couldn't be more compatible with the scene in front of me. Although it's not as good as Liu Ying's perfect singing voice, it can still be regarded as melodious and beautiful.The vibrant artistic conception in the song makes people very comfortable.Mei Xin sang, Master listened, both of them were smiling, enjoying this moment very much.

At the end of the song, Huang Yaoshi said: "The lyrics are neither like lyrics nor folk songs, but they have a special flavor." The lyrics and music in the Song Dynasty have not been completely separated, and Mei Xin has listened to many popular classic Song lyrics. sang.What Mei Xin sang was obviously completely different from Song Dynasty songs.

"Master, why don't you sing a song too, my apprentice hasn't heard that he can sing before~ There were also two people singing over there just now." Mei Xin hurriedly made a request while the master was in a good mood.Uh, why is there a kind of flirting with Master...singing to Master, hehe~~

Huang Yaoshi stopped and glanced coolly at his apprentice sideways, then walked forward again.Well, whoever called him a master, Mei Xin pointed her finger at the villain in her heart and silently followed.

The sun turned towards noon, and despite the high altitude here, the temperature inevitably became hotter.

"Master, let's rest for a while under the shade of the tree in front, and have lunch by the way." Mei Xin suggested.Just in front of it was an open and flat forest field, surrounded by thick trees, very shady.

"Okay, let's catch some wild animals for the teacher." After Huang Yaoshi finished speaking, he walked towards the depths of the forest.

Mei Xin picked up a pile of dry firewood in the woods, and used stones to separate the firewood from the grass, so as not to cause a forest fire.After she finished these, Huang Yaoshi came back and handed Mei Xin a wild rabbit and a pheasant. Give one to the master, and put it on the fire to roast one skewer per person.The whole process and its tacit understanding, there is no redundant words.

After they were done, the two quietly gnawed on the food under the shade of the trees. Although the two of them usually never tire of fine food and delicious food in Peach Blossom Island, they still didn’t pay much attention to life in the wild. They just sprinkled salt and didn’t have any extra seasonings. .However, with Master, everything tastes delicious~~

"Who are you guys?!" A pair of young men and women came from outside the forest. The man was wearing simple gray bunt clothes with a sword on his waist. When he saw the two of them, he immediately drew his sword and looked on guard. .The woman is vaguely the same as the Yi woman who sang folk songs before. She wears shining silver ornaments and her clothes are traditional black Yi costumes.Seeing Mei Xin's master and apprentice, she looked a little flustered, but on her face she had an expression of "Hey, don't come here, or I'll kill you".

* ??? *

"Two, we, master and apprentice..." Mei Xin said, and suddenly thought of the classic opening line: Benefactor, our master and apprentice came from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty...

Mei Xin came back to her senses and continued, "We, the master and the apprentice, are passing by here"... Soy sauce, don't look so panicked.

"Aren't you the disciples of the Jianhu sect?" the woman asked, her big and bright eyes were full of hostility.She wore a black short dress and a long skirt very attractively. The embroidery on the clothes was intricate and delicate, and the silver collar on her body dazzled Mei Xin.

"No, we are people from the Song Dynasty and came from Dali." Mei Xin said.The master is impatient to deal with these people, when encountering outsiders, it is Mei Xin who speaks more.

"Where is the Jianhu sect you mentioned?" the master asked in a rare way.

"Just past the village in front, and in front of the three mountains, there is a big waterfall there, which is easy to find." Probably because the master's aura is too strong and cold, the young man answered carefully and carefully.

Both Huang Yaoshi and Mei Xin believed that Wuliang Jade Bi was near Jianhuzong, so they asked the young man to take them back to the village and spend the night there.Then inquire about Jianhuzong.

Unexpectedly, the young men are not from the village in front, but the Yi women are.She took Huang Yaoshi and his apprentice back to the village, and the young man went back in the other direction.The woman's Chinese name was Xiaofeng, and she told the nearby villages that they were often harassed by the disciples of Jianhu Sect, so they would be very wary when they saw men and women dressed in Han nationality.

Xiaofeng took a short cut back to the village with Mei Xin and his disciples. It happened to be the evening when the smoke was rising, and the village looked peaceful and peaceful.

In a village where Han and Yi people live together, many people in the village can speak Chinese.The villagers are more hospitable and hospitable, and Xiaofeng is probably a kind of village flower in the village, and his words are more influential, so the villagers arranged a wooden building on stilts for the two masters and apprentices to live in.

Mei Xin ran to the second floor of the wooden building on stilts full of minority flavors in novelty. The upper floor was made of wooden floors, which made a rattling sound when running.From the balcony, you can see a dense clump of banana trees in front of the building. The rivers converge into a small valley to form a small lake, which flows out of the valley without stopping.

"Master, this place is so beautiful! Let's plant plantains on Peach Blossom Island when we go back~" Mei Xin looked back at Master from the railing of the balcony, her dark eyes were full of smiles.The setting sun dyes this picture with a touch of gold, making time so meaningful.

"Okay, just plant it in front of the window of the pharmacist's abode. When it rains, you can hear the rain hitting the plantain." Master said with a smile, unconsciously bringing a little tenderness.After finishing speaking, Huang Yaoshi walked over and patted Mei Xin's head naturally.

Mei Xin: ...Master, although Humo is very loving, I am no longer a child, okay? -_-#

After dinner at Xiaofeng's house, Mei Xin and her master were about to get up and leave the wooden building where Xiaofeng's family lived, but they saw an old lady rushing in and said, "It's not good, those disciples of Jianhu Sect are coming back again." Come here, quickly take your family Xiaofeng to hide."

Mei Xin glanced at Master, saw that Master was not impatient, and said, "Master, let's go and have a look." Huang Yaoshi is not a nosy person, but he has a good impression of this village, so he nodded.

The aunt hesitated for a moment, then said: "Xiaofeng, is this a guest from your house? You take her to hide for a while, it's not fun to be caught by those people."

"Auntie, let's go over and have a look, those bad guys can't beat my master." Mei Xin smiled.

The aunt glanced at Huang Yaoshi's saber, and she had an outstanding temperament. Maybe she could really restrain the disciples of Jianhu Sect, so she brought Huang Yaoshi and his apprentices to the village.

Although there are some mountain people in the village who know some superficial martial arts, such as Xiaofeng, who knows some simple light kung fu, but generally speaking, they are still not as good as the disciples of Jianhu Sect.The gap is like a professional player and an amateur player.

Walking to the head of the village, I happened to meet those five disciples who were snatching two young women, and they proudly walked out of the village.Mei Xin looked at those disciples of Jianhu Sect with disgust, and without using her master's hand, she grabbed a handful of small stones and hit them on the knees with snap of fingers, causing them to kneel down in pain.
