Yi Xiao Chuan

Chapter 5 The Three Friends Visit the Cliff of Thoughts

Early in the morning of the third day, Lanyue's loud voice sounded at the entrance of the cave. Yixiao was surprised and excited when he heard Lanyue's voice, and rushed to the entrance of the cave in two or three steps. : "Sister, I miss you so much!" He grabbed Yi Xiao's hands and looked him over from head to toe.After looking at it, he nodded with satisfaction: "It's okay, it's okay!"

Yi Xiao interrupted her: "Okay, that's an exaggeration, it's only been two days, if you really want me, why didn't you go up the mountain earlier?"

Lanyue sighed and complained: "Don't mention it, the master didn't let us come here at all, and we made the medicine in the medicine hall for two whole days. Because of the rain, we were allowed to take a break and copy the prescriptions in the Qin medicine hall instead. "

"Then why did you run out? If you can't finish copying, you don't need to sleep at night!" Yi Xiao asked with concern.

"I have my own way, don't worry!"

"You came to see me empty-handed?"

Lanyue smiled mischievously and said, "Why is my sister empty-handed when I come to see you?" Turning her head to the outside of the cave, she said, "Two senior brothers, come in!"

As soon as the words were finished, two young men in white came in from the cave, carrying food boxes in their hands.Yi Xiao took a closer look, and it was Ting Jian and his second senior brother Qi Zhao who walked in quickly.Somewhat surprised, he hurriedly saluted: "Yi Xiao has met the two senior brothers!"

Ting Jian helped Yi Xiao up with one hand, and said embarrassingly: "I am the one who was punished for harming my junior sister without being poisoned, so I came to visit my junior sister." He said and brought the food box to his face: "This is when I went to the kitchen-well, to take- Let’s eat the food while it’s hot!”

The second senior brother jokingly said, "It's fine to just say it was stolen, and what to say to take it! I took it from the master's table in a fair manner." He also took out the food box.

Lanyue smiled and led everyone to the cave, took out the food from the food box and arranged them one by one.There is actually a steaming mushroom soup.

"I've been eating fruit for the past few days. I'm going to be a savage! Such a sumptuous dish, how can there be no wine?" Yi Xiao said, stood up and walked to the bottom of the cave, knocked on the stone wall, and the stone wall Turning out a small door, Yi Xiao took out two small jars from it, turned around and sat back in front of the stone table.

The two senior brothers were dumbfounded: "Is there still such an operation? Junior sister, do you still have wine in the cave? Is this facing the wall and thinking about your mistakes, or is it a leisurely escape in the cave!" After speaking, they laughed.

"This cave is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is protected from wind and rain. It is an excellent place to store wine. Wine is also medicine, and some of it is used to make medicine. These two jars are fruit wine made by me. Both of you Brother, try it too." While speaking, he opened the wine seal, and the aroma of the wine came to his face.

"Good wine!" Second senior brother Qi Zhao praised.

The two senior brothers each had a jar, and Yi Xiao put mushroom soup in bowls for himself and Lanyue, and said, "Yi Xiao is still thinking about his mistakes, so he can't drink alcohol, so I will use soup instead of wine to respect the two senior brothers and sisters." .”

Lanyue snatched Tingjian's wine jar: "Senior sister, you can't be partial, let me taste this wine too." After finishing speaking, take a few sips first.

The three looked at each other and smiled, and drank the fruit wine in one gulp.

"Happy! Junior Sister Xiao, a self-disciplined person, far in the mountains and still guarding the door rules, I admire it!" Qi Zhao rubbed the wine on his lips.

Yi Xiao was modest, and said to Senior Brother Tingjian: "Senior Brother Tingjian, I'm sorry! Yixiao's fault caused Senior Brother to suffer for no reason, and I feel guilty. I hope Senior Brother will forgive me."

Ting Jian hurriedly said: "Junior Sister, there is no need to blame yourself, Ting Jian can't let his voice rest for two days if he asks for it."

The second senior brother held up the wine jar: "I have to blame me for this matter. If I don't stop my junior sister from putting roses, luckily nothing will happen later. I will punish myself with a glass." After speaking, he raised his head and drank it up out of the wine jar.

"Then, I brought the culprit here too." As he spoke, he took out a jar from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Yi Xiao.Yi Xiao took a look at the honey pot and was overjoyed: "Great! I just need honey!"

Little carrier pigeons cooed and joined the crowd conversation.Ting Jian touched the little carrier pigeon and asked, "Where did you get the pigeon? You raised it, junior sister?" Yi Xiao shook his head and told how she rescued the little carrier pigeon.

"It turned out to be a carrier pigeon!" Ting Jian said as he touched the letter post on the pigeon's leg.

"I think this little carrier pigeon is not easy!" Qi Zhao said: "The golden eagle is so ferocious that even wolves are no match for it. It is not easy for a small carrier pigeon to escape from the golden eagle's minions."

"Could it be that there is an expert helping secretly?" Lanyue interjected excitedly.

"It's really possible! The golden eagle, who is not even afraid of wolves, is afraid of the harmless preserved fruit thrown by my junior sister? It's lucky that the golden eagle didn't catch it together!" Qi Zhao continued joking.

Yi Xiao recalled the transfer of the preserved fruit into the cave, and felt that what Qi Zhao said was reasonable, but he didn't know who was the person who secretly helped?
"Junior sister just said to use honey, but is it related to the dried fruit on the ground?" Ting Jian asked while stroking the little carrier pigeon.

"Exactly! It's almost done, soak it in honey, and let it dry for two more days." Yi Xiao replied a little embarrassed.

Qi Zhao went to the preserved fruit, squatted down and picked up a half-dry and half-wet fruit, looked around and said, "The knife skills are not good!" Holding up the fruit, he said to Yi Xiao, "It's for Brother Tingjian to make amends." Let's go!" After speaking, he stuffed the fruit into his mouth and began to chew.

Just as Yi Xiao drank the soup, he was choked and coughed again and again.Qi Zhao sat back at the stone table and continued: "It's too sour, it's not tasty! I really need honey."

After the meal, Lanyue became curious. Uncle Wuyin has always been mysterious, Shenlong sees the beginning but does not see the end, and now he just inquires.

"I heard that you and senior brother Tingjian took refuge after the second star of the emperor descended from the sky. Is it true or not? You two were born on the same day?"

Ting Jian said with a smile: "Qi Zhao is so old, how could he be born on the same day as me?"

"Two years older than you is called old? I haven't reached the age of weak crown!" Qi Zhao refused to accept.

"The master is not mysterious, but the ancestor is mysterious! After all these years, who has seen the ancestor?"

"Wouldn't it be a retreat to practice somewhere!"

"I heard that the master has three disciples, but no one knows who the third disciple is?"

No one has ever entered the Zangshu Pavilion, maybe there is another mystery inside, and maybe where the master is practicing in seclusion.

A few people obviously drank some fruit wine and got a little excited, chatting wildly.

"It's still early, why don't we help Yi Xiao pick the remaining fruits!" Qi Zhao suggested.

Yi Xiao suddenly flashed in his mind: Could it be the two of them secretly helping yesterday? Or could it be one of them?
Lanyue and the two were already walking towards the orchard down the mountain with great interest, and Yixiao followed.With the help of the two brothers, the fruit rained in the orchard, and the fruits obediently went where they should go as if they had grown feet.But this time it was not made into candied fruit, but into fruit wine.

Half of them were sealed in a stone hut by the orchard, and the other half were brought back to the cave.Several people discussed and named the wine "Four Gentlemen's Wine", and agreed to come to the cave together in the future, cook wine with green plums, and talk about heroes in the world!
