The rich and noble peasant daughter

Chapter 124 Worshiper, Stampede
Yun Xi hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in a strange room, the mattress and quilt were very soft.Recalling what happened before going to bed, Yun Xi probably guessed that this was probably Meng Heng's room.After waking up from this awakening, it can be said to be refreshed, and the previous fatigue was swept away.

It's just...is it necessary to give her medicine?
Although she knew that Meng Heng had good intentions, Yun Xi was still speechless.

When she got off the bed, she found that the dagger in her sleeve was missing, probably taken away by Meng Heng.

Yun Xi didn't care either, she still trusted Meng Heng very much.

When she walked out of the room, Meng Heng was holding a book and slowly reading it. Hearing the sound, he raised his head, "You're awake."

Yun Xi nodded, and saw her dagger on the table, but her dagger was originally held in a wooden sheath, but now it is held in a small and exquisite animal skin.

Noticing her gaze, Meng Heng's lips twitched, "I found that animal skin when I searched for things all day long today. Even a magic soldier can't cut it easily." He said it lightly, but it didn't Tell the true value of that hide.It was the skin of a beast called Thousand-faced Fang, the toughest, even comparable to the legendary silkworm silk.Coupled with its inconspicuous appearance, it looks even more precious.

This is much more convenient than the wooden scabbard, Yun Xi smiled and put away the dagger, the animal skin is quite thick, with such a layer of protection, it won't prick your hands when you hold it.

"Thank you."

She looked out the window and found that it was still early, before the sun set, so it was okay to go in and hunt some prey at this time.She was about to leave when Meng Heng said, "I hunted a lot of prey today, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it, you should take some back."

Yun Xi looked at the wild boars, deer, rabbits, and pheasants in the yard... and fell silent.Maybe Meng Heng went out to fight after hearing her words.

Meng Heng doesn't seem to be approachable, but he is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

There were quite a lot of prey in the yard. Yun Xi slept for a whole day and didn't eat anything, so she was really hungry.

She turned to Meng Heng and said, "Let's have barbecue."

Wait until you eat some pads to pad your stomach before going home.

Meng Heng saw that the corners of her eyes and brows were smiling, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, "Okay."

Yun Xi directly roasted a beggar chicken, only ate the wings and neck, and left the rest to Meng Heng.

Meng Heng asked her to choose her prey at will, and Yun Xi finally chose a deer and two rabbits—she prefers venison to wild boar, although venison is quite irritating.

After returning home, Yun Xi put the prey in the kitchen. Tonight, the two rabbits cooked and ate it directly. As for the venison, it had to be marinated or dried.If the meat of this season is put on the next day, it will easily deteriorate.

Du Zhou said to Mrs. Tang: "Cut the venison into pieces, about two catties each, and let Yunyao send some out later." Anyway, I can't finish it, so it's better to give it away as a favor.

Mrs. Tang nodded.

Yun Xi went to see Yun Yao. Before she left the house today, she gave Yun Yao ten homework in large characters, and she didn't know how she was doing.

Walking into the room, Yun Yao was humming a little song and reading a book. When she saw Yun Xi coming in, she panicked and stuffed the book under the table. This appearance is trying to hide... Yun Xi will be proud of her acting skills sighed.

She looked at Yunyao speechlessly, "The homework is finished?"

"It's, it's done." Yun Yao stammered, and handed her the written big characters.

Yun Xi looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.Yun Yao wrote quite seriously, she bent down and picked up the book under the table directly, Yun Yao looked downcast.

Yun Xi flipped through it, and knew why Yun Yao was afraid of being seen by her.This is a legendary idle book, a typical story of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.She asked curiously, "How did you get this book?"

Yun Yao was very obedient and honest when facing her sister, "I went to play at Qiantong's house earlier, and she lent it to me."

Yun Xi nodded to express her understanding.Yun Yao and Wang Qiantong got along very well, it was normal to go to Wang's house to play.Mrs. Wang also welcomes her.

Yun Xi said: "This kind of book..." She dragged out her tone, and Yun Yao's expression became more nervous.

Yun Xi chuckled, "It's okay to use it to pass the time, but don't take the story in it seriously, it's too fake."

The stories of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies in this era are basically written by unsuccessful scholars, and that is pure obscenity.Thinking of the fact that Cui Yingying, the prototype of The West Chamber, was abandoned by Yuan Zhen, Yun Xi couldn't help criticizing.There are also many examples, and there are many stories of being abandoned by unscrupulous people in this era.

Yun Xi also told the story of Du Shiniang sinking the treasure chest in anger in her previous life. Hearing Yun Yao's righteous indignation over there, and reading the story in this book again, she felt that it was an eyesore.

Yun Xi smiled and said: "Of course there are some really good men, but after all, most of them are men with little hearts. Therefore, if a girl is rich and well-off, she can't be protected too well. She has to know some dark sides of reality, so that she won't lose her life." Was easily coaxed by a man's sweet talk."

If her good little sister is brainwashed by the wit and beauty, Yun Xi will have no place to cry.

Yun Yao nodded half understanding, "No wonder you dote on me so much, sister, because you are worried that I will be cheated away with a little favor."

Yun Xi: "..."

Yun Yao was very excited, "Next time I go to Wang's house, I will tell Qiantong these stories too." She has a new story and wants to share it with her friends.Yun Xi thinks it's good, Yun Yao can meet more friends, not just limited to Yanghe Village.

Yun Yao chattered non-stop, suddenly seemed to be strangled by the neck, said "ah", and pointed to her head.

Yun Xi didn't understand, so, "What's wrong?"

Yun Yao said: "Sister, your hairpin!"

Hairpin?She didn't bring a hairpin when she went out today. She went out in the morning to forge iron, so of course she couldn't wear jewelry.Yun Xi touched her head with her hand, and she found a hairpin. She didn't know when the hairpin appeared on her head, she didn't even know.

Yun Xi pulled it out and took a closer look, and found that it was a hairpin carved from suet white jade. As the best jade, it was delicate and moist, crystal clear and flawless, with a faint brilliance flowing.The hairpin is a peony pattern, and the petals on each layer are carved like real flowers, lifelike and natural, making people love it.

She recalled carefully when the hairpin was inserted on her head.At least when she came out of the house in the forest, there must be nothing on her head, so it was time for her to rest during the day.

Peony... Yun Xi thought of the pot of peony that she had taken care of recently, maybe this hairpin was a gift from Yun Shen.

Since the peony came into her hands, it has rejuvenated for a second time, its leaves are green, and it is no longer dying.Yun Xi was very curious about what kind of peonies she could grow in this pot.

"Did you buy this hairpin?" Yun Yao asked curiously.

Yun Xi came back to her senses, pursed her lips and smiled, "What do you think?"

Yun Yao sighed: "Sister, you are always like this, you won't tell me."

Yun Xi finally put away the suet white jade hairpin. Yun Yao didn't see the value, but she was not stupid.If this thing is worn out, it will be too eye-catching, and it will easily cause trouble.

After resting for a few days, Yun Xi went to blacksmithing as usual at night.It's just that compared to the previous month, she has to exercise a lot of restraint, resting at least two hours a day.In addition, except for the weapons of Yun Yao and Lai San, she did not use her abilities this time. By the beginning of July, she had already forged ten weapons.

Among them, the two for Yun Yao and Lai San are the best.I just don't know why, these two are still not as good as the three that Yun Xi played for the first time.

The one given to Yun Yao was also a dagger, and Yun Xi also engraved the word Yao on the handle of the dagger.For Yunyao's dagger, she asked Meng Heng for an animal skin with thousands of fangs.

Perhaps it was because she was relatively restrained this time and was in good spirits, but Meng Heng didn't let her rest first like before.

Yun Yao was really happy to receive this gift. In her eyes, it meant that she was getting closer to being a heroine.

Yun Xi chose the best quality sword from the eight long swords and gave it to Zeng Fu as a gift for the first anniversary of his apprenticeship.Zeng Fu has always respected him since he became her disciple.But she also explained to Zeng Fu that no one should know that this gift was from her.Zeng Fu knew that she didn't want to be too high-profile, so she happily accepted the gift and swore that she would not tell anyone else.

Mrs. Zeng is not her stupid son, who doesn't know the value of such a sword, it is a good thing that money can't buy.For this reason, she ordered someone to give Yun Xi a generous gift.

Yun Xi's Shuxiu has also increased to 20 taels per month. In fact, she only spends one day in a month teaching Zeng Fu.After all, Zeng Fu's kung fu is on the right track now, so she doesn't need to watch her every day to correct mistakes like she did at the beginning.Yun Xi thought in her heart: I'm afraid there is no one in Fenghuang County who can handle Shuxiu as easily as she does.

……

When Yun Xi carried the remaining eight weapons to the study room of Wanshiwu, Lai San almost fell out of his eyes.

He originally knew that Yun Xi was going to build a weapon, but he thought she was just a 3-minute hot topic, just talking, but he didn't expect Yun Xi to actually make it, and judging by the appearance, it was no worse than his very cherished dagger.

Yun Xi picked up a sword marked "Lai" and handed it over, saying, "This one is for you, try it."

Looking at the sharp sword light, Lai San felt goose bumps all over his body.Even if he has no common sense, he still knows that this sword is good.

He stammered: "Really, really want to give it to me?" When he thought of using such a sword in normal times, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

He took out the dagger he had before, a dagger in one hand, and a long sword in the other, and he slammed it hard, and there was a clear sound, and a gap was made in the dagger—if it was usual, Lai San would be heartbroken, but as for the sword, It leaves no trace at all.Which is better, at a glance.

Lai San was almost drooling, and repeated again in disbelief: "Girl, are you really going to send me?"

Yun Xi smiled and nodded, "If I say I want to give it to you, I will give it to you, and I will never go back on my word."

Lai San put the sword back into the scabbard, held it and never let go, "Then I won't return it."

In modern times, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are men's dreams. In ancient times, good weapons were not so attractive to men, especially for people like Lai San who went out to escort darts.

Yun Xi smiled, "Although the quality of the remaining seven is not as good as the one you have, they are still much better than that dagger. You can allocate it yourself. Don't let anyone know that these are made by me except you. from."

Lai Sanzhong nodded, "Don't worry, I will never say anything. For the other seven, I will distribute them to my confidants according to the degree of credit and trust."

Lai San is indeed a very capable person, and the current Wanshiwu team is getting stronger and stronger.He has 40 people at his disposal, and five of them were sent by him to collect all kinds of gossip. Even the beggars in Fenghuang County are under the control of Lai San.

Being able to achieve this step in just over half a year, his ability cannot be underestimated.

Yun Xi nodded, she had been working hard for several months, and she was already exhausted, at least she didn't want to do this again in a short time.

It was rare for her to come, so Lai San summoned his confidantes here, and now these hooligans have undergone earth-shaking changes in their mental appearance.Seeing Yun Xi, they all asked questions about martial arts, Yun Xi didn't hide his secrets, and told them everything he knew.

Lai San asked her again, "When will Han Fei and the others be released?" Han Fei was the bandit leader who colluded with Du Yunyue during the Chinese New Year and tried to mistreat her.

The corners of Yun Xi's lips twitched, "Wait until Du Yunyue's child is born."

At that time, Du Yunyue must have been the happiest moment.Yun Xi estimated the time. If there were no accidents such as premature delivery, the baby would probably be born in October.

Lai San nodded, his eyes indifferent, "In the past six months, my brothers and I have treated them well, and I think they will obediently follow our orders when we arrive."

Yun Xi nodded, she wished that the time could jump to October.

Handing over the rest of the weapons to Lai San, Yun Xi could be considered to have settled one of her worries.

After returning home, she saw that Yunyao was practicing boxing with her cheeks puffed out. Every punch was full of power, as if she was venting something.

Yun Xi asked: "What's the matter? Who made my Yun Yao angry."

Yunyao sighed old-fashionedly, "Ms. Su came to our house just now. Mother is pregnant, and she sheds tears in front of her all day long. It's really maddening. Later, I was the one who said, Mother is tired, so I don't want to lose weight." Send her back."

Yun Xi frowned.Mrs. Su is the wife of Su Mingfa in the village. She is 25 years old this year, but she looks like she is in her 30s.There are two reasons. One is that she gives birth to a child almost every year, and her body has no chance to rest at all.After Su Han married Su Mingfa, she gave birth to daughters for the first three years. She worked hard to have a son, but she did not give birth to a son until last year.Frequent childbirth and labor wear down her body, making her look old and haggard.Another reason is that Su Hanshi loves to cry, and usually shed tears after speaking a few words.

No one would like to deal with a person who cried at every turn, so Su Han's popularity in the village was not very good.

Yun Xi asked, "What is she doing at our house?" The Du family didn't have much dealings with the Su family before.

Yun Yao said: "The son she gave birth to last year was ill after birth. The Su family originally had a few acres of land, but some time ago, the son caught a cold, and the Su family sold the land to treat him. Mother saw that their family was pitiful, so she sent some rice over there."

Yun Yao paused for a moment, then said: "Then this Su Han family came to find my mother today, and asked our family to give her some advice, to see if there is any way to make money."

Yun Xi was a little speechless, she was not a Jingdang cat, she could think of any way to make money.

She could only divert Yunyao's attention, "Okay, leave the Su family alone. If she comes over next time, let the aunt pretend to be asleep. Anyway, the aunt is pregnant, so lethargy is normal."

Yun Yao clapped her hands, "Okay, I'll tell Mrs. Tang when the time comes."

Yun Yao's anger came and went quickly, and she also enthusiastically talked to Yun Xi about going to the state capital on the [-]th.

Da Chu was the same as Yun Xi in his previous life, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month was Tanabata, and it was extremely lively, especially in the state capital, where they could watch boat races.This event was a bit like the dragon boat race that Yun Xi remembered from her previous life. Dozens of teams fired their arrows at once, and those who won the first prize could even get a reward of 1000 taels.At the same time, the public can also pressure which team wins.

Dai Yanling and Mao Yiyun specially invited Yun Xi and Yun Yao to play there. The two sisters have never seen this before, and they plan to take Ayu and Lai Xiaosi to see the fun together.Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Du Zhou's pregnancy, I'm afraid she would also like to go and see her.

On the 13th, Yun Xi posted an announcement, saying that the store will mainly go to the state capital to watch the regatta, so it will be closed for seven days, and will reopen on NO.[-].

Yun Xi also intends to take this group of girls to the state capital to play for a few days. Except for her, the others really don't have this opportunity.

The guests who came to the door could also understand, and many people were very envious of them being able to go to the state capital to play.

Lai Xiaosi has gone, and Lai San will definitely not leave his sister alone. On the [-]th, his motorcade will send Yunxi to the state capital.

Yun Xi also planned to buy a house in the state capital this time, so that it would be convenient for her to rest. She couldn't just stay at Dai's house every time she went, even if Yan Ling didn't mind, she would feel embarrassed.Housing prices in the state capital are at least several times more expensive than in the county seat.A house once entered can be sold for almost 300 taels.

In the past, Yun Xi would have been reluctant to spend the money, but now it is different.Every month Yunxi's various incomes add up to three or four hundred taels of silver, and she is the one who is least short of money in the Du family.Just in case, she still brought 400 taels of silver with her.

They set off in the morning, and there were robbers on the road, but without Yun Xi's intervention, Lai San's people simply cleaned up the group of people, tied them up by the way, and sent them to the government office directly after arriving at the state capital .

When they were fighting, Lai Xiaosi seemed to be very afraid of this kind of scene, and kept shaking his body.

Yun Xi hastily covered her ears with her hands to keep the fighting sounds from outside away from her.

In comparison, Ayu's performance is much better, looking at the scene outside without blinking.

Seeing that she was fascinated, Yun Xi pushed her, "What's wrong?"

Ayu came back to her senses and smiled at Yun Xi, "I just think that I should be like Yun Yao and learn some kung fu from you."

Yun Xi said: "Yes, if you want."

Ayu smiled and said nothing more.Since she left the Wu family, her original restraint has gone a lot, and she has become more open-minded, and she can talk and laugh with Yun Xi Yunyao at ordinary times. Yun Xi thinks this is very good, because she seems to be normal at this age girls.

Although there was an accident of robbers, they still rushed to the state capital just as night fell.Unlike last time, Dai Yanling was very attentive to Yun Xi's arrival this time, and even sent Li Zi to wait for them at the door.

Lai San and the others lived in the inn as usual, while Yun Xi lived in Dai's mansion with a few girls.

The biggest official in Fenghuang County is the magistrate of Kang County, the seventh-rank official.And Dai Yanling's father was an official of the fifth grade, and the mansion was quite grand, so everyone except Yun Xi couldn't help but get nervous.

Yun Xi held Yun Yao with one hand and Xiao Si with the other, which relieved the anxiety in the hearts of the two girls a lot.

Lizi also saw the nervousness of the others, and spoke to Yunyao with a smile.After a few conversations, the nervous Yunyao no longer knew what nervousness was.

After arriving at Dai Yanling's yard, Dai Yanling happily greeted her, and smiled mysteriously at Yun Xi, "Yun Xi, come, let me introduce you to a new friend I met recently."

Yun Xi was a little puzzled by Yan Ling's attitude, and followed her into the house.

There was a girl in a light yellow dress sitting in the room. When she heard the movement, she raised her head and met Yun Xi's eyes. The next second, both of them were slightly stunned.

The girl Yun Xi saw was still young, childish, with bright eyes and fair skin, but her facial features were three points similar to Yun Xi's.Compared to Yun Yao, she is more like Yun Xi's younger sister.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Dai Yanling burst out laughing, "Hahaha, I knew it would be like this."

Yun Xi came back to her senses, and glared at Dai Yanling who was obviously watching a joke, "Who is this sister?"

Dai Yanling smiled and said: "This is Yang Yurong, Sister Yang. When I first met her, I was surprised. Sister Yang's mother was my mother's handkerchief. Because she wanted to watch the regatta, she came here from the capital. gone."

Yun Xi nodded to understand that boat racing is a unique custom in Chuzhou.

Since she is the daughter of Mrs. Dai's best friend, she must have a good background.Yun Yao pouted, as if she didn't like it very much.

Yun Xi couldn't see Yun Yao's careful thinking, she saw someone more like her than her direct cousin, so she just liked it.She squeezed Yunyao's palm, and shook her head - how old is she, and still so jealous.Yang Yurong looked younger than Yunyao, at most ten years old.

Yang Yurong smiled innocently and sweetly, her shining eyes were like stars in the night sky, full of admiration, "Sister Dai said that Sister Du, you are very skilled, just like the heroine in the storybook."

Yun Xi smiled, facing such a cute little girl, anyone can't help but like it, "It's just a little superficial skill, there is no problem with self-protection."

Yang Yurong sighed and said: "That's great, I also want to learn martial arts, so that I can travel in the rivers and lakes in the future and be a hero. Unfortunately, my mother doesn't allow it." Her childish complaints are also so cute.

Yun Xi teased her, "Learning martial arts is very hard work, and it takes four or five hours a day to gamble."

Yang Yurong said crisply: "I'm not afraid! Can sister Du teach me?"

This gave Yun Xi a headache, she only stayed in the state capital for a few days, even if she taught, she couldn't teach much.

Dai Yanling winked at her, signaling her to fool around first.

Yun Yao had already jumped out first, and said, "No, my sister is my teacher, so I won't let it go to others." She seemed to see a certain sense of crisis from Yang Yurong.

Yang Yurong asked, "Do you know kung fu?"

Yun Yao raised her chin, "Of course." Then she demonstrated it directly in the yard.

Yang Yurong exclaimed from time to time, "It's amazing!"

"Yeah, it's flying!"

Seeing the two little girls playing together, Yun Xi couldn't help laughing.

Dai Yanling smiled and ordered the people below to prepare the table, and then said to Yun Xi: "Aunt Li gave birth to Yurong prematurely, so Yurong's health is not particularly good, and she has only recovered a little in the past few years. There is only one auntie. Daughter, I have always loved her very much."

Yun Xi looked at the two little girls with a smile, and said, "Miss Yang is very cute."

After the table came, Dai Yanling called the two who were playing around in the yard to come and eat.Yun Xi asked: "Don't I need to visit your father Lingtang first?"

Dai Yanling said: "No need, when I greet you tomorrow morning, you can go with me again."

After dinner, a group of people got together to play leaf opera lively. After playing for an hour, they broke up and went to rest. After all, they have to get up early tomorrow.Yun Xi was fine, not tired after a day's ride in the carriage, but Ayu and Xiao Si were different, they began to doze off halfway through the Ye Zi play.

The next day, they all got up early, and after breakfast, they greeted Dai Hai and Mrs. Dai together with Dai Yanling.

Dai Hai and Mrs. Dai treated them very kindly. After knowing that Xiao Si couldn't speak, Mrs. Dai showed a pity expression, and gave Xiao Si a more generous gift than others.

Yun Xi did not see Dai Yanxi, under normal circumstances, her grounding should be over.

As if seeing her doubts, Dai Yanling leaned into her ear and whispered: "Aunt Lin is sick, so she went to visit her in Zhuangzi, and she won't be back until a few days later."

The two were whispering, when the maid at the door suddenly said, "Master Biao is here."

Dai Yanling's face immediately lit up, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. At this moment, she was shining with a dazzling light that belonged to her alone.

Yun Xi turned her head, just in time to see Wang Hanyu walking in.

Wang Hanyu seemed to have seen her too, was startled, smiled at her, and greeted Mrs. Dai and Dai Hai.

Mrs. Dai quickly let them go, Wang Hanyu asked Dai Yanling, "What's your cousin's plan today?"

Dai Yanling had already thought up the arrangement, "The boat race will be held in the afternoon, and I plan to take Yun Xi and the others out for a stroll in the morning and do some shopping. Is my cousin coming too?" She pretended not to care, Yun But Xi clearly saw the tension in her eyes.

Wang Hanyu nodded and said, "It's not reassuring for you girls to go out after all."

Yun Xi could somewhat understand why Dai Yanling cared about this cousin. He was really gentle and considerate to others, and this consideration came from the heart, not just a play on the spot.Ordinary officials' children face commoners like Yun Xi and the others, even if they are friendly, they still have a sense of superiority, but Wang Hanyu is not like this, and treats them equally.

Wang Hanyu looked at Yun Xi and said, "This must be Ms. Du who cultivated Narcissus?"

Yun Xi shook her head, "I didn't cultivate the narcissus, I just saw it in a book and saw someone selling it in our market, so I bought it." She didn't want to claim the credit .

Dai Yanling said: "The narcissus I raised was carved into the shape of a crane by me, it's really pretty."

Yun Xi gave Dai Yanling several narcissus balls, and Dai Yanling managed to carve a good-looking shape with great difficulty.

Wang Hanyu shook his head and said, "I love its natural posture more than carved ones. Presumably the same is true for Narcissus. The beauty of the outside world is the point of view imposed on it by people."

Yun Xi retorted: "You are not Narcissus, so how do you know what Narcissus thinks. Aren't you imposing your own thoughts on Narcissus?"

Wang Hanyu was stunned for a while, and then he came back to his senses, and said seriously: "You are right, I am the one with the picture."

Dai Yanling said: "I don't know if Narcissus knows it or not, I just know that I feel happy when I sculpt."

Three people, three different points of view.Seeing the disapproval flashing across Wang Hanyu's face, Yun Xi sighed slightly in her heart. Wang Hanyu and Dai Yanling have completely different personalities, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of friction in the future.

The shopping trip that followed reinforced her view.Wang Hanyu and Dai Yanling often quarreled over trivial matters. No, to be precise, it was Dai Yanling who quarreled with him unilaterally.Wang Hanyu likes to be clean, and Dai Yanling likes to be lively.Wang Hanyu likes simple and elegant colors, while Dai Yanling prefers warm colors.

At the end of the stroll, Dai Yanling fell in love with a very eloquent parrot with colorful wings, and said auspicious words one after another.Dai Yanling liked it very much and wanted to buy it, but such a parrot cost 20 taels, and she bought too many things in front of her, so she didn't have enough money.

Wang Hanyu frowned slightly when he saw that the parrot's feet were even scratched by the rope, and he bought it directly.

Dai Yanling thought the parrot was given to her, a sweet and delighted smile appeared on her face.

As a result, after buying the parrot, Wang Hanyu opened the cage, untied the rope that tied the parrot, and let the parrot go.

Dai Yanling was too angry to say a word, pointing at Wang Hanyu, "You, you..."

Wang Hanyu's attitude was still gentle, and he explained to her: "Cousin, this bird should not be trapped in a cage, the sky is his home." His expression was slightly melancholy.

Dai Yanling said angrily: "Could it be possible that you can really buy all the birds and let them go?"

Wang Hanyu was silent for a while, then said: "I may not be able to save all the birds, but at least I can let that parrot go free without being made fun of in a cage."

Dai Yanling laughed back angrily, "Yes, you are the kindest, only I am the most vicious, and only keep parrots in captivity for fun."

"That was not what I meant."

Dai Yanling didn't want to hear his explanation, so she left angrily.Yun Xi quickly caught up with her, she saw that Dai Yanling's eyes were red, she would bear it in front of Wang Hanyu, but she couldn't bear it when she walked away.

"He clearly saw that I liked that parrot very much, but he completely ignored my thoughts."

"If he tells me well, he will release it if he likes it after I buy it."

Yun Xi was a little helpless, she could only say that the temperaments of these two people were really completely different.Dai Yanling has a carefree temper, lively and cheerful.Wang Hanyu's mind is more sensitive, and... Yun Xi faintly feels that the other party's point of view is about to become a fairy or a Buddha at any moment.

She turned to ask: "Does your cousin also like to read Buddhist scriptures?"

Her question came out of nowhere, and Dai Yanling couldn't care less about getting angry, and said, "How do you know? He liked to read it when he was a child. Later, my grandmother was afraid that he would read too much and changed her temper, so she didn't allow him to read too much. It's just his study. Li, there are still several hidden books, which I have discovered."

Yun Xi said: "Maybe it's because he saw the Buddhist scriptures and felt that all living beings are equal."

Dai Yanling was thoughtful, "You're right, my cousin doesn't usually like meat."

Yun Xi said: "Next time he eats vegetables, not meat. You just go back to him, everything has life. Animals are like this, as are flowers and plants. He only eats vegetarian food and doesn't eat meat. Isn't it also a dislike for those fruits and vegetables?" Is it fair?"

Dai Yanling clapped her palms and laughed, the original anger was swept away, and her smile was like a flower, "That's a good reason, I will embarrass him like this next time!"

Being soothed by Yun Xi, Dai Yanling's mood improved again, and she even apologized to Wang Hanyu when she saw Wang Hanyu.

Seeing it, Wang Hanyu felt relieved, and he knew in his heart that Du Yunxi might be the one who comforted her.

After all, Yan Ling took Yun Xi's words to heart, and she never got angry with Wang Hanyu for the rest of the journey.At noon, the group ate in the Peony Building.Peony is the property of the Zeng family, and the business is too good.If Yan Ling hadn't made a reservation several days in advance, I'm afraid there would be no vacancies.

After lunch, they went to the bank of the Chu River to wait under the sun.

The annual regatta is very large, and many teams spend a whole year building the boats for the competition. Many of the fleets are supported by big businessmen in the state capital. For those businesses, It's also a chance to make a name for yourself.

Although they came early, they were still crowded when they reached the Chu River.Yun Xi and the others squeezed to the front with great difficulty. She was holding Xiao Si with her left hand and A Yu with her right hand. As for Yun Yao, she had been practicing martial arts for almost a year anyway, and there was no problem in dismissing ordinary people. Yun Xi was not worried that she would encounter To kidnapper.

Dai Yanling and Yang Yurong were watched by guards and Wang Hanyu.It was the first time for Yang Yurong to participate in this kind of activity, and her face was flushed with excitement. Yun Xi was worried that she would suffer from heat stroke if she was exposed to the sun for a long time, so she specially made a hat for her to wear.But they also told Yang Yurong that if she felt unwell, she had to tell her immediately, otherwise it would be difficult for them to explain to her parents.

As Yan Ling, she could sit in the pavilion in the distance and wait for the start of the game leisurely, but this girl felt that sitting there and watching the game would not have any atmosphere, as it was so boring every year, she might as well mix in the crowd.

Before they came, they even went to the casino to place a bet. Yun Xi and the others had just arrived, and they didn't know anything about dozens of teams. Basically, they just bet on whichever was pleasing to the eye. Anyway, it's just fun to play. .There are many participating fleets this year, with a total of 46 ships.

After waiting for about an hour, all the fleets gathered at Jiangkou. At a glance, it can be described as mighty.The appearance of each fleet is different, some are made into dragons, some are dressed up as tigers, and some are made into whales.

Yun Yao smiled, and said directly to Yun Xi: "How can a tiger compare to a dragon in water, it will definitely lose."

Wang Hanyu introduced: "The boss behind his fleet is a tiger, and he loves tigers the most in his life, so the fleet has also been built to look like this."

Even before the game started, the atmosphere was already very enthusiastic.The sound of cheering sounded one after another, but everyone supported a different team, which caused the sound to be very chaotic.

Yun Xi rubbed her temples, which made her temples ache faintly from these noisy voices.Dai Yanling next to her was completely immersed in the atmosphere and yelled, completely lacking the ladylike appearance that an official's daughter should have.

Turning to look at Yunyao again... well, this one is not much better, jumping up and down like a monkey.

Then the drums sounded, each blow was full of strength, the sound coincided with the beating of the heart, causing the blood to burn and boil together.

After the last hard beating, 46 fleets shot out from the river mouth like offline arrows, all arrows were fired!
The crowd became even more excited, one by one hoarsely shouting for the team they supported. At this time, if someone spoke to Yun Xi, no matter how loudly they shouted, they would probably be drowned in these boiling shouts.

The people behind couldn't see the front, and they desperately wanted to squeeze forward.Under the background of this atmosphere, it is normal to behave irrationally.

Yun Xi and the others came early in the first place, and they had already squeezed to the front, but she could still feel a force behind them trying to push the people in front of them forward.

She frowned slightly, turned her head, and said to the woman behind her, "Don't squeeze."

The woman's face was wrinkled into a ball, her mouth opened and closed, Yun Xi barely guessed what she said from the shape of her lips, "It's a squeeze from behind."

She already regretted staying here, what if a stampede happened?
On the other hand, things have changed on the river.A team that was originally in the middle and bottom was chasing the position in front of him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

more than one...

more than three...

In less than a quarter of an hour, there were already more than ten.Apparently, this team named Fleet ignited the greatest enthusiasm for this competition, and there was a lot of people talking.People became more and more excited, and the people behind desperately wanted to squeeze forward, wanting to get a closer look at the scenery.

The fence of the Chu River was finally overwhelmed and made a sizzling sound, but the sound was directly covered up in this noisy place.

The fence made of stones broke directly, and the broken stones were thrown into the river. The people standing in the front were unlucky, and fell out like dumplings.

Yang Yurong and Dai Yanling happened to be in that position, and they also fell headlong.

Yun Xi pushed Ayu and Xiaosi into Yunyao's arms. Although Yunyao's lightness skill is only average so far, there is no problem in leaving this scene.

Yun Xi didn't have any extra thoughts, so she jumped down directly.
