Naturally, there is no way to go against Yue Lao Bodhisattva's words, but from my common sense as a scholar, gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can only influence people's thinking. Even if it succeeds, it will only be effective if I am moved and agree with it. It cannot be regarded as coercion.
But there is definitely no way to explain this to a heartless person like Ye Congwen.
Seeing that Yu Yueyue was silent, Ye Congwen thought that she had been persuaded by him, so he pretended to be mysterious and said:
"When you were throwing the chopper just now, why were you so lucky and so accurate?
You have to know that this divination technique is a secret that is not passed down to our Ye clan. How can you, a foreigner, communicate with the gods and let your ancestors send blessings to help you successfully divine the three-color elixir?"
"Why, does this divination technique really have any bloodline value?"
Yu Yueyue thought of the huge snow ginseng in the basket on her back, and also thought that the two pieces of land that she had just found the elixir were indeed thrown out by her own hands. It seemed that there was really blessing from the gods, otherwise how could she have such accurate luck?
There are only two pieces of land in Zhenxun that contain three-color soil and three-color elixir.
Curious for a moment, I turned sideways and stared at Ye Congwen, with a pair of wonderful eyes full of expectation.
"The mountain god appears and the ancestors protect you. If you don't recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, how can he bless you with success?"
Long before you recited the secret, I had communicated with my ancestors, and I told them not to treat you as an outsider. There is an ancient poem that says: You should take a broad view of the future. If you become the daughter-in-law of our Ye clan in the future, I will help you both.
It’s not against the clan rules even if it’s a sacred ribbon.”
When Yu Yueyue heard that Ye Congwen was taking advantage of her again, she became angry and wanted to get angry. Suddenly she remembered that she had forced the throwing of the bamboo chopsticks, and even threatened to go out alone, so that she would not have the upper hand.
When he was at a loss what to do, he looked back and saw the big snow ginseng in the basket on his back. He had an idea and suppressed his pounding heart. He looked at Ye Congwen lovingly and said with a hint of charm:
"Ye Lang, since you are so affectionate and righteous, why not send this three-color snow ginseng to the Yu family as a token of love, so that I can have an explanation with my parents when I return home."
Ye Congwen looked at those pair of water-cut autumn eyes and blushing pretty face, and was stunned. This woman was not possessed by a koi carp but by a fairy. Her intentions were huge!
He quickly refused righteously and said:
"Ms. Yu, you must not belittle yourself or let yourself down. You are worth a thousand gold. Without a thousand kilograms of gold bars, how can I qualify to propose marriage to you? How can a pair of little snow ginseng be worthy of being the most beautiful woman?"
I, Ye Congwen, swore to my ancestors that I would never mention the proposal of marriage until I save enough one thousand kilograms of gold!"
"Huh, stingy!" Yu Yueyue rarely insulted herself. She blushed all the way to her neck, but she waited for these words. If I save a thousand kilograms of gold, I'm afraid I'll have to borrow another five hundred years from heaven.
"Back to the subject, I suspect that the tree turned green overnight, the gastrodia elata essence has no lines, and the snow ginseng sheds its skin all point to the possibility that the energy contained in this three-color snow ginseng evaporated overnight and turned into
Nothing.”
When Yu Yueyue heard Ye Congwen's analysis, she suddenly became enlightened and said with enlightenment:
"I was just wondering why these ordinary medicinal materials didn't even have stems, leaves or vines. Now that you've said it, could it be that these medicinal materials were ripened overnight by the energy emitted by the three-color elixir?"
"The elixir does not need to rely on vines and leaves to draw energy. It draws energy directly from the land, mountains and rivers. Naturally, there is no need to grow those vines and leaves.
These Gastrodia elata extracts are most likely to be ripened directly from seeds.

It’s made from medicinal materials, and it’s bigger than normal——”
Before Ye Congwen finished speaking, there was suddenly a dull roar above his head. Ye Congwen pulled Yu Yueyue to pick up the basket on his back and ran out. There was a rustling sound in the woods and there was a huge movement. The two of them were not sure what was going on.
I can only run out as hard as I can.
Fortunately, Ye Congwen had already memorized the route and ran along a straight line for five or six minutes. He could vaguely see a bright white field in front of him, but the fallen leaves blocked his sight.
As soon as they stepped out of the dark forest, their eyes were suddenly pierced by the sun and they could hardly open their eyes. Ye Congwen shouted:
"Close your eyes!"
The warm sunshine shone on them, giving the two of them a feeling of being separated from each other.
After about four or five minutes, his eyes were no longer crying and sore. Ye Congwen opened his eyes and took a look at the dark forest behind him. He saw fallen leaves like rain. Within ten minutes, all the huge green leaves on the branches fell off.
The whole mountain forest became bright again.
"The energy of the snow ginseng has been evaporated, and the leaves that grew up overnight can no longer support it."
Ye Congwen walked back and picked up a fallen leaf, which was at least the size of a cattail fan. It was green in color, like jade.
No wonder it’s so dark in the woods. The thick and large leaves are so densely packed that it’s strange that the sunlight can’t escape!
Looking at the scene in the woods, the green fallen leaves are now two or three feet thick, making it difficult to find the place where I dug before.
"Forget it, it's just two hoes. I'll buy them later."
Ye Congwen looked at the sun in the sky and estimated that it was already around two o'clock. He called Yu Yueyue who was still rummaging around in the woods and prepared to go down the mountain and go home.
"There are a lot of high-quality medicinal materials in it. It would be a pity to throw them away." Yu Yueyue was thinking about those smooth and grainless gastrodia elata essences, which are of first-class quality and quite rare.
"It's all green now. It will probably be dark by the time we find the place. Fortunately, we dug up a three-color snow ginseng today, so we don't have to leave empty-handed. Don't you still have a lot of medicinal materials in the basket on your back? Take advantage of this.
Let’s go back early at dawn.”
Ye Congwen picked up the basket and walked towards the boat. Even though Yu Yueyue felt reluctant to give up, she could only follow behind, turning back three times with a reluctant attitude. After a while, the two came to the creek, and Ye Congwen held the boat.
He threw the basket into the wooden boat and ordered:
"I'm going to go for a walk on the river beach downstream. You can rest on the boat first. There is braised beef and two pots of tea in the stern cabin. You can eat something first and regain your energy before we set off home."
"Why are you going downstream? I'm not tired now. Do you want me to go with you?"
Yu Yueyue always felt bored staying alone on the boat. Although she looked at the beautiful mountains and clear waters in this deserted place, she still felt a little wary.
"I'm going downstream, Gong. Do you want to come with me? It would be nice to have a companion to chat with."
"Disgusting!" Yu Yueyue blushed immediately when she heard Ye Congwen's answer. She went to the hut to find someone to chat with. I'm a girl!
"Eating, drinking, and defecating is human nature, what's so disgusting about it?"
Looking at Ye Congwen walking towards the lower beach moraine with a smile, Yu Yueyue gradually disappeared around the corner. Yu Yueyue hadn't eaten anything all morning. When Ye Congwen reminded her, her stomach growled a few times, and she was really a little hungry.
Walking to the stern of the ship, she opened the partition of the stern cabin. There was a hidden compartment inside, which contained many things, including an iron stew pot and charcoal. Yu Yueyue couldn't help but smile:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"This bad boy knows how to enjoy himself. He can eat hot pot and dig up elixirs without any delay!"
Looking inside again, he found a sealed wooden box weighing six or seven kilograms. Yu Yueyue carefully took it out. When he opened it, a strong aroma of braised beef hit his face, and it was dipped in spicy dipping sauce.
I took a sip of the tea in it and ate more than half of it without realizing it.
Surrounded by green mountains, clear water flows, the cool breeze blows on her face, and her mouth is filled with fragrance. By the time Yu Yueyue felt full, she had already consumed more than half of the box of beef. She had never eaten such good food.
"Leave some for him, otherwise he will laugh at me for eating too much when he comes back."
Yu Yueyue suddenly realized that she had eaten at least two or three kilograms of beef, and was immediately shocked by her appetite!
"It is normal for food intake to increase after recovering from a serious illness. It is nothing to be alarmed about."
In order to prevent Ye Congwen from teasing her about her appetite, Yu Yueyue took the chopsticks and folded the beef piece by piece. At least it still looked so huge from the outside.
He fastened the lid of the wooden box and put it aside safely. He washed the chopsticks cleanly and looked back downstream. He still didn't see Ye Congwen. At a glance, he saw a lot of elixirs in the basket on his back.
soil.
I picked up my backpack and jumped out of the wooden boat, found a gentle place on the bank of the stream, carefully poured the medicinal materials on the ground, and took them one by one into the stream and slowly washed them until they were crystal clear.
Ye Congwen packed a hundred or so kilograms of pebbles in a cloth bag, walked quickly across the tidal flat, and soon arrived at the boat.
Seeing Yu Yueyue washing medicinal materials there, he knew that this woman loved to be clean, so he didn't bother to argue with her, so he said hello and jumped on board with the bag in hand.
Picking up the lunch box and wolfing it down, he urged:
"Have you finished washing? Are you ready to go back?"
Yu Yueyue had already washed the last piece of three-color snow ginseng. Seeing that Ye Congwen was still eating, she said calmly:
"You can wash up after you finish eating. I won't waste your time."
The three-color snow ginseng was crystal clear, dazzling under the refraction of the sun, and there seemed to be divine light flowing around her body, which made Yu Yueyue's heart beat wildly.
After a while, Yu Yueyue put the medicinal materials into a clean backpack, carried it on her back and jumped onto the boat. When she saw Ye Congwen throwing the finished lunch box into the stern cabin, she jumped off the boat to untie the mooring rope.
Frowning, he went over to pick up the lunch box, sat by the side of the boat and washed it clean, then neatly arranged everything in the stern cabin, and then returned to the stern to guard it under Ye Congwen's surprised gaze.
The backpack suggested to Ye Congwen:
"It's still early today, drive slower later and don't throw the medicinal materials into the river."
Ye Congwen nodded, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but remind:
"Why don't you go for a while? You will have to stay on the boat for four hours later."
When Yu Yueyue was reminded by Ye Congwen, she seemed to have a sudden urge to pee, but it would be too embarrassing to get off the boat at this time. She shook her head and said no.
Ye Congwen observed what Yu Yueyue was thinking. He could see Yu Yueyue's thoughts. He could see that his brows were furrowed. He was obviously holding it in forcibly. He was thin-skinned. He was a grown man standing aside. She was afraid that she would not suffer any internal injuries even if she was willing to hold it in.
express.
In desperation, Ye Congwen had to row his boat to find a hiding place, force him out of the boat, and then row away quickly.
