Yunya Pavilion covers an area more than three times larger than Yunxuan Pavilion where guests are entertained. A three-arch wooden bridge is built in the courtyard. The running water of Ningliu River is drawn under the bridge. The lotus planted in the stream is blooming in full bloom.
.
Before entering the hall, Fu Shiyi heard laughter coming from inside.
"Uncle Thirteen is well, Aunt Zhen is well."
"Get up, my family doesn't need to stick to those false etiquettes. I said it's eleven. It's only been a few years since I last saw you. You are already a big girl."
In the hall, Uncle Thirteen and Liu Wanzhen were sitting on the left and right sides of the main seat. Next to the couple's seats stood a boy of about ten years old. He glanced at Fu Shiyi shyly and lowered his head.
Uncle Thirteen was very happy to see Fu Shiyi and laughed:
"You kid, you usually jump up and down, but why do you see your sister turning into a gourd? This is your eleventh sister, call someone quickly!"
Uncle Thirteen slapped Brother Nineteen on the butt with a "pop" sound. Fu Shiyi found it very funny. After the greeting, Uncle Thirteen took the initiative and said:
"Eleven, it's such an unlucky chance that you're here. I went to Orchid Valley today to hunt Yue Hu and suffered some internal injuries. I need to rest for a few days before I can take you up the mountain to pick Xuanyuan grass. I'm really sorry." p>
"Is the injury serious?"
After learning that Uncle Thirteen's injury was just a minor injury, Fu Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Thirteen, Xuanyuan Grass grows there, don't worry, we'll wait until you heal your injury one day and we'll go there again."
”
"As long as it doesn't delay your business."
Uncle Thirteen's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with some pride: "This time I hunted this Tianyue Tiger, but I unexpectedly harvested a second-level deer grass. You can take it back and let your grandfather refine it.
Give your uncle the elixir, and his broken arm will grow back by then."
Deer grass?
Fu Shiyi took the wooden box handed over by Uncle Thirteen. Inside lay a strange spiritual grass, shaped like a small mulberry with a stem like coral. It was two feet long. It was very beautiful, but there were many branches and leaves missing.
Fu Shiyi remembers the description of deer title grass in "Zhongnan Lingcao Chapter":
"The natives wear deer heads and lie down in the grass, curling leaves and making noises, and the deer come in herds. However, there are few males and many females. Males will mate with females hundreds of times, and they will die after they are found. All the females will smell it, know that it is dead, and divide it.
Walking in the valley, holding a strange grass and kissing it, it will be smoked, and it will revive instantly. The sound of gold and blunderbuss will make the deer run away in fright."
After being refined into a magical elixir, deer grass can indeed revive my uncle's broken arm.
Fu Shiyi was both excited and moved:
"It is rare to find deer's grass with no market value. Uncle Thirteen, you are really a help in times of need."
Fu Shiben wanted to give a big gift to show his gratitude, but Uncle Thirteen stopped him: "They are all members of our own family, why should we be so polite? The injury your brother-in-law suffered was also for the family's livelihood.
Compared to the fact that they are throwing their lives and blood for the clan in the Southern Wilderness, what I have done is nothing to mention."
"Moreover, the property of Lotus Wu was purchased by your father. Without it, Wanzhen and I would not know where our family would be."
Even so, Fu Shiyi silently remembered the favor from Uncle Thirteen.
Fu Shiyi and Uncle Thirteen mentioned that the clan had acquired a new store in Xihefang City from the Zhang family, and it was now being renovated and renovated into a restaurant, which would be open to welcome customers in two months.
"This is good news. Your Aunt Wanzhen and I are worried about how to deal with these fifty acres of lotus roots. This will give us a way to dump them. It's great!"
Speaking of the restaurant, Brother Sixteen, who had been silent until now, immediately became excited. He and Liu Wanzhen went directly to the kitchen to study new dishes. After all, there were not many people in the clan who were proficient in cooking. When the restaurant opened, they would be needed for the dishes.
Think about it.
The Nineteenth Brother was originally curious and stayed in the living room. After listening to Fu Shiyi's conversation for a while, he felt bored and was attracted by the smell of the kitchen.
"By the way, Uncle Thirteen, I almost forgot to ask you, do you know anything about Yin Yang Village at the foot of Beiliang Mountain?"
"Yin Yang Village? This is the first time I have heard this name. Moreover, Beiliang Mountain is not only rampant with ferocious beasts, but also monsters. As far as I know, there has never been a mortal village at the foot of the mountain."
So what’s going on in Yin Yang Village?
Fu Shiyi felt awe-inspiring and told her what happened to Brother Sixteen. After listening to this, Uncle Thirteen said seriously: "In recent years, strange things have happened constantly. It seems that we have to report the incident in Yin Yang Village to the clan.
, the clan elders will send people down the mountain to conduct a thorough investigation when the time comes."
I hope the clan elders can find some clues.
This is the eighth year that she has been stationed in Guyaju. It seems that she should take advantage of this opportunity to inspect all the villages under her jurisdiction.
The two of them were chatting about household matters, and inadvertently talked about the centenary ceremony two years ago. Uncle Thirteen glanced outside the hall, and when he saw no one there, he whispered:
"Eleven, originally you and Liu Yatou had the same qualifications for alchemy, but the clan chose your Sixth Sister. This matter makes no one feel comfortable. I...I don't know how to comfort you...
....."
Regarding the selection of candidates, Fu Shiyi had already given up on the matter: "Uncle Thirteen, don't worry, no one will make things difficult for Sixth Sister when she stays at Guyaju. Moreover, my alchemy resources are provided by my grandfather. The same goes for Uncle Thirteen."
Don’t just add to your worries.”
Mention Sixth Sister.
The expression on Uncle Thirteen's face was very complicated: "How is your sixth sister doing? Has she...did she ever mention me?"
Fu Shiyi didn't know how to answer. Sixth Sister spent most of her time alone, and her conversation with Fu Shiyi didn't exceed ten sentences. Fu Shiyi didn't understand Sixth Sister at all.
However, one thing can be confirmed, the Sixth Sister has never mentioned Uncle Thirteen, her biological father.
Fu Shiyi saw Uncle Thirteen looking at him expectantly, thought for a while and said:
"At that time, Sixth Sister also wanted to come with me to pick Xuanyuan Grass. Although she didn't say it, she must have wanted to take this opportunity to see you."
"Hey!"
Uncle Thirteen shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid she already hates me deeply, so why would she want to see me? Your Sixth Sister is a poor person who has been dragged down by me. Eleven, if you can be more tolerant of her in the future
, just bear with it, it’s all the trouble I caused when I was young. She shouldn’t have to suffer it.”
When it came to the disputes of his elders, Fu Shiyi couldn't help but keep his head down and remained silent.
However, when the sixth sister returned to the clan, there was an uproar in the clan, and Fu Shiyi knew it well.
At that time, the sixth sister's biological mother was seriously ill, but she had no money to treat her. She was desperate and asked the sixth sister to go to the Fu family with a token. The sixth sister originally thought that her biological father was just a gambler or an ordinary person like an alcoholic, but she never expected that
He is a descendant of the Fu family, one of the four major families in Jingzhou.
Uncle Thirteen's family was stationed in Famous County at that time.
She came to the door with excitement and dreams. After explaining her purpose, she was beaten out without even entering the small door. At first, she thought it was a servant who deceived her and did not report it, so she stopped Aunt Thirteen's on the street.
After revealing their identities, they were regarded as liars, and both mother and daughter were imprisoned in Fu's private prison.
The sixth sister's biological mother was seriously ill and passed away within a few days in prison.
After the death, the sixth sister tried her best to escape from the clutches of the thirteenth aunt on the pretext of burying her mother.
At that time, Uncle Thirteen was chasing the monsters that were harassing the city, so he didn't know anything about it.
After the sixth sister came out of Famous County, she climbed mountains and waded all the way, and went through all kinds of hardships to reach Luofeng Mountain, her clan's hometown. At that time, she was just holding her breath. Fortunately, she was bumped into by her uncle who was returning from a mission and saved her. Fortunately, Sixth Sister was found to have three spiritual roots, so she stayed in the clan and started practicing till now.
