Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mu Qianmei Walks Alone in the Mountains
The horse seemed to understand Mu Qianmei's words, and actually rubbed his head against Mu Qianmei, as if he was glad that he also had a name.
"Huh...... It seems that although you are a little naughty, you are a very smart horse! Akakage, listen to me in the future, and I'll take good care of you. During this time, only the two of us will depend on each other together, I want to sit down and rest for a while, let you go to eat grass freely, and don't run around! Got it? Mu Qianmei said with a smile.
The horse's ears fanned, as if to indicate that she understood, Mu Qianmei slowly put the rope on the horse's back, seeing that it was still buried in grazing, and there was no sign of running away, she breathed a deep sigh of relief, and sat on the ground a little weakly.
"It turns out that in the Southern Tang Prairie, there is no peace between the tribes!"
Mu Qianmei, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly thought.
After resting for a while, the sky was getting brighter.
Feeling the fresh air in the morning, Mu Qianmei hurriedly meditated and cultivated, and after a few days of personal experience, she understood that in this world, the strength of personal force is still very important.
No one can always take care of you and protect you every step of the way, even if you follow the guards and meet a real master, it will be useless, otherwise how could you be taken captive here?
After cultivating her internal strength for a few weeks, Mu Qianmei felt that her spirit was much better, refreshed and full of vitality.
She searched the lawn for a long time until she found a dead branch, and after a casual pruning, it became a rough stick, which she held in her hand, closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then raised the stick and danced in the morning light......
This set of thirty-six flying dragons that was originally full of masculinity allowed Mu Qianmei to move and jump on the grassland with light and agile steps and movements, not like practicing martial arts, but like a set of Chang'e solo dances that are unique in the world, with fluttering clothes and heavy stick shadows, becoming a unique and beautiful scenery.
On the open grassland, no one appreciated it, only the red shadow occasionally raised his head to look at it a few times, and then buried his head in the delicious grass and continued to eat the delicious grass.
The stick method is still the same set of stick methods, and the moves are still those moves, but they are very different from those used by Feng Tianyu, and they are thousands of miles apart.
After practicing a set of stick techniques, Mu Qianmei gathered her momentum and stood up, meditating alone.
How will this stick method be cultivated to make it more suitable for oneself?
The Flying Dragon Thirty-six Sticks are taking a masculine path, and as a girl, she can't show that kind of spirit!
After pondering for a long time, he had no clue, and seeing that the hour had passed, and it was probably already the middle hour, he no longer wasted time, but prepared to leave here first.
"Red Shadow โโ, back, let's get ready to go!" Mu Qianmei tried to call the red shadow once.
Hearing the shout, Chiying raised her head and looked at Mu Qianmei, but she didn't understand what it meant, so she buried her head and continued to eat its grass.
"Come back......" Mu Qianmei shouted loudly again.
This time, Chiying seemed to understand what Mu Qianmei meant, raised her head, and trotted over to her.
Mu Qianmei couldn't help but smile, it seems that it won't take long for this red shadow to become a good partner for her.
With last night's wild gallop, now Mu Qianmei is no longer afraid of riding, she jumped on the back of the horse with a light jump.
Holding the reins in his hand and grasping the horse's mane at the same time, and with a slight tap of his legs, the red shadow took a step forward and ran leisurely.
Looking at the mountain in front of me just now, I felt that it seemed to be very close, but this jogging trip took more than an hour before I finally ran to the foot of the mountain.
I saw a small river at the foot of the mountain, the clear river water was flowing slowly, it was noon at this time, Mu Qianmei, who had not eaten all night, was still running all the way, feeling a little hungry, seeing the river, I heard that my stomach was already "cooing".
Mu Qianmei stopped, ran to the river, picked up the river water with her hand, drank a few sips, and felt a little thirsty, but her stomach was still hungry.
Where can I find something to eat in this place where I don't touch the village before and the store after it?
Thinking of eating, Mu Qianmei found a problem, even if there is a winery restaurant now, she is penniless, this is a big problem!
Seeing the fish swimming freely in the river, Mu Qianmei suddenly wanted to eat fish.
But on the same body, I don't even have a fire fold, how to process it?
"Hey, let's go up the mountain and look for it, maybe I'll be lucky enough to find some wild fruits or something like that to satisfy my hunger." Mu Qianmei thought.
So she got on her horse again and went on, crossing the creek and climbing up the hill towards the west.
In her previous life, Mu Qianmei was also born in the ordinary small mountain village of Linxi Village, experienced the hardships of rural life, and still had a cordial feeling for the mountains, and was also familiar with life in the mountains.
It is spring now, the mountains are all over the wilderness, everything is recovering, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the spring is boundless, which makes people's spirits can't help but be lifted.
The scenery in front of her suddenly reminded Mu Qianmei of what she had learned in her previous life, Zhu Xi's "Spring Day"-
"Shengri seeks Fangsi waterfront,
The boundless scene is new.
Waiting for leisure to know the east wind side,
Thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring. โ
Especially the last sentence "Wait for leisure to know the east wind side, thousands of purples and thousands of reds are always spring." It is full of philosophical meaning and is worth chewing carefully.
However, what Mu Qianmei wanted to chew more at the moment was food, her stomach was empty, her stomach was "growling", and she was protesting all the way.
However, in this season, there was not much to eat on the mountain, and after searching for a while, I did not find anything to satisfy my hunger.
Mu Qianmei was a little disappointed and a little anxious, and looked at the various wildflowers in front of her, all of which were blooming brightly, but there was no shadow of half of the fruit.
Suddenly, Mu Qianmei's eyes lit up, and she stared closely at an ordinary flower blooming all over the mountains - Yingshan Hong.
"Why do you need to see the spring breeze in the famous garden,
All the way to the mountain flowers live up to the nong.
Every day the Jinjiang River is like brocade,
The clear stream reflects the red of the mountains. โ
At the same time, I remembered this poem by Yang Wanli in my previous life.
I remember that when I was a child herding cattle on the mountain in my previous life, I and my friends liked to pick the red and pink petals to eat, but I didn't eat other colors.
The sweet, fragrant taste is deeply memorable, and Mu Qianmei is excited at the same time, but she can't help but hesitate.
Isn't it a bit of a big sight to eat such beautiful petals?
But the hungry stomach is "cooing" again, what else is there to eat?
Mu Qianmei no longer had any worries, stepped forward, picked off a few pink roses that were blooming brightly, chose the petals to be thicker and tore them apart, removed the stamens, found a small mountain spring, washed it, slowly put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The fragrance has a sweet, sour taste, and in this moment of hunger, it is better than countless delicacies.
And the childhood experience flashed in my brain, when I was really carefree, that is, grazing cattle in the mountains with my friends, playing and looking for wild fruits.
It's a life that's mundane and fulfilling, and there's no danger in it.
After eating the red petals, Mu Qianmei felt a little more comfortable in her stomach.
So he led the horse and continued on his way.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar wild food againโtea petals.
The tea petal is a kind of edible leaf, which she also ate when she was a child in her previous life, growing on a tea tree, which is relatively thick, like a leaf-like thing, the green is not ripe, it will be very bitter, yellow, and a layer of skin has fallen off it is already ripe.
She plucked some ripe tea petals, wrapped them in a handkerchief, washed them at the mountain spring, and put them in her mouth to eat.
A sour, sweet, and astringent taste immediately emanated into the mouth, a little unfamiliar, yet so familiar.
When she is hungry, everything she eats is so sweet and delicious, which reminds Mu Qianmei of a TV series in her previous life, called "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup".
When Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar, the leftovers were so delicious, and after becoming the emperor, he missed the taste of the mountains and seas every day, so he ordered the imperial kitchen to make it according to the taste of the time and feast hundreds of officials.
It turned out to be so unpalatable......
However, now Mu Qianmei will not find it unpalatable.
After eating, Mu Qianmei looked up and saw that the sun in the sky had begun to deviate to the west from the middle, and it seemed that noon had passed, and she had to hurry in time.
In the mountains, a lonely little girl, leading a tall red horse, looks so small, giving people a feeling of loneliness and helplessness.
Here, there are no people, no villages, no hotels and inns, only mountains full of wildflowers, weeds and unknown trees, as well as a few birds and the occasional wild critter.
"Will there be large carnivores like tigers and lions in the mountains?" Mu Qianmei suddenly thought of this, and suddenly felt some faint fear.
With her martial arts and internal strength at this time, she may not be able to resolve such a danger when encountered!
Because she has little to no real combat experience.
Thinking of this, Mu Qianmei hurriedly flew up and jumped on horseback, rode on the red shadow and galloped quickly to the west.
As long as you go to the Western Chu Kingdom and find the branch of the beggar gang, all the problems can be solved.
Mu Qianmei tried her best to choose a relatively empty valley to move forward.
However, all the way to the wild run, over one mountain, and then into another, the mountains are continuous, as if entering a labyrinth, and never reach the end.
Fortunately, the direction has always remained the same, not so much that it has not circled, and it has always been in the direction of the setting sun.
Yun Mu Qianmei rode the red shadow, and drove for nearly three hours without stopping, and still did not stick to the village in front of the village, and did not touch the shop in the back.
However, when she was about to feel that she could not take it anymore, she finally found a dilapidated temple at the foot of a mountain.
There is a small stream not far in front of the small temple.
Mu Qianmei didn't think much about it, jumped off the horse, led the red shadow and walked over.
When I walked into the small temple, I saw thick dust, cobwebs, dirty dead branches and leaves all over the ground, and traces of people burning fires.
Mu Qianmei immediately picked a handful of branches with leaves, tied them into a broom, and began to clean them.
After cleaning, I went to find a lot of clean dead leaves and hay, and laid a thick temporary "bed" on the ground.
Then I quickly found some wild food that I knew and could eat, filled my stomach indiscriminately, and sat down on the grass bunk to meditate and cultivate.
Red Shadow was grazing freely on the grass behind the small temple.
Mu Qianmei came up for a few Sundays, it was already late at night, two days of hurrying, and she didn't sleep well the night before, she felt a little sleepy, and fell asleep on the grass bunk.
Fortunately, this body has been begging for a living since she was a child, and she has been trained for a long time, and Mu Qianmei's current martial arts and internal strength are also well cultivated, so she is not afraid of the cold, and she sleeps very deeply when she is tired.
At this moment, a colorful and more than one meter long a big snake slowly crawled into the temple through the crack in the broken door behind the small temple......
