Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

When they took the vegetarian dishes into their mouths, they found that they were quite delicious.

Although they are all vegetarian dishes, they are all green, and some of them don't even have oil stars in them, as if they were boiled in water, but they taste very good and fresh, and I don't know how they season them. of.

Even Yuanbao, a meat-loving person, ate a lot of it, which shows how good it tastes.

During the meal, the entire dining hall was almost full. Except for the monks in the temple, everyone else was a pilgrim.

Qingyan roughly counted and found that there were no more than twenty monks, and there were at least seventy or eighty people inside. It seemed that there were quite a lot of pilgrims coming here.

After eating, everyone left the dining hall one after another. Some went back to the wing, and some left the island in the middle of the lake directly. Qingyan and the others were planning to leave Shuiwu Temple and take a walk around the island in the middle of the lake.

There is another staircase on the southwest side, which can go down to the mountainside. You can't go down to the water here, because there is a section of the mountain wall that goes straight up and down, and you can only go down to the mountainside.

There is a semicircular platform carved out of the mountain wall, only four or five meters wide, surrounded by stone railings.

There is an oval pool against the mountain wall. Above it is a small waterfall caused by the water channel flowing down from the top of the mountain. This pool is very cleverly designed. There is a drainage outlet next to it. As long as the water exceeds a certain height, it will flow in from the drainage outlet. In the lake below.

Not only that, there is a lifelike crane carved from stone standing next to the pool. Under the crane's feet is a stone with many small characters engraved on it.

Perhaps due to the erosion of water or the erosion of time, the small words on it have become blurred. I can only vaguely see the text, but I can't clearly see what the content is.

Although I know that this scene is artificially created, after years of changes, it has integrated with the surrounding scenery and is very harmonious.

The mouth of the water channel is cleverly hidden in the rocks, and small trees can be found in the stone cracks on the mountain wall behind the small waterfall, making this artificial small waterfall look like a natural one.

The stones around the small pool were also washed smooth by the water and turned into round pebbles.

This meant that Qingyan couldn't take out her camera to take pictures when she was with outsiders, otherwise she would definitely take pictures of this place.

In fact, every time she visits a beautiful scenic spot, she can't help but want to take a photo as a souvenir and take it back to show her grandparents, parents and brothers.

Although I felt happy seeing the beautiful scenery, I still felt a little bit regretful.

When I got to the pool, I discovered that there was a stone turtle under the pool. There were a lot of copper coins around the stone turtle, and there were even some small round jade pendants. Of course, they were not the kind of very good jade, just very small. The ordinary kind.

It is round with a hole in the middle. It is usually used to make pendants under some fans. I don’t know who threw it in.

This approach is a bit like those pools in later generations. As long as there is a statue or something in it, no matter what it is, someone will throw coins into it.

If it is in the public morality pond in the temple, it will be even more. If there are turtles or golden cicadas in it, which can be used to seek wealth in people's hearts, then the coins can fill the pond.

Even the fountains and pools in some squares are unavoidable. There is news that the workers who clean the pools can get tens of thousands of silver coins out of them.

It turns out that this custom has been around since ancient times. It seems that the most intuitive way for people to pray or bless is to give money. If you want to ask for something, just throw a few coins to the other person. This is quite in line with the national conditions of the Flower Country.

Seeing that the three Yangs were already digging into their wallets, Qingyan naturally followed the crowd.

They all carry copper coins in their purses, which are usually used for rewards or to buy some gadgets.

There are very few people who throw money away in places like this, and basically they don't know how to do it. The main reason is that they are afraid that others will become greedy when they see the extra money.

That's all what I asked for. When the time comes, people take away the money. What should I do if the thing I asked for doesn't work?
Although there are quite a lot of copper coins here, people nowadays are in awe of gods and Buddhas, and basically they will not take risks just for these few coins.

Qingyan and Yuanbao didn't ask for anything. They threw the coins together just for fun. They even competed, deliberately throwing coins into the patterns on the turtle's back to see who could throw them in first.

This is not like throwing it on flat ground. The stone turtle is at the bottom of the water. Even if it is aimed, it will be deviated due to the buoyancy of the water.

So it was not easy to throw accurately. After throwing it several times from different angles, Qingyan found the trick. After that, it was basically just hitting wherever you pointed.

Only she and Yuan Bao were playing with great interest. Yuan Bao finally threw one in and was so happy that he almost burst out laughing.

After the Yangs finished throwing the coins, they put their hands together and muttered something for a while, probably talking about what they wanted.

They didn't stay here for too long. Although the waterfall was small, it still splashed a lot of water because of the drop. It was so close that some of them were splashed on them.

It's not summer now, just let the wind blow dry in a while. It's spring now. It would be terrible if I got wet and got blown by the wind, so I played for a while and left the edge of the pool.

She looked at the surrounding scenery on the platform. When Qingyan looked across the lake, she felt that something was particularly shining there, and she didn't know what it was that was refracting the sunlight.

Qingyan asked Yuanbao to cover her. She curiously searched there with her consciousness, and then discovered that they were copper lions in front of a house. Yes, they were a pair of copper lions.

Qingyan felt a little surprised. Usually there were stone lions in front of the door, but this one was new.

In general, even if there are lions at the door of a wealthy family, they are still made of stone. However, this house actually uses copper. How much copper does it take for two such big lions? In ancient times, copper was controlled and controlled by the court. It was used to cast such a lion. Big lions are definitely illegal.

Of course, it doesn't have to be solid copper. It might be plated with a layer of copper. Just like those Buddha statues, aren't they all gold-plated? They are still made of clay on the inside, but have a thin layer on the outside.

Qingyan couldn't see the essence through the surface, so for the time being, she thought it was copper-plated, and she could let Chou Chou take a look when he came back.

Just as she was thinking about this, Chou Chou's voice came from her mind, and she heard Chou Chou say to her: "Yanyan, have you already arrived in Tonggu County? We have also finished the exploration here, and it will be almost evening. We can get to Tonggu County before then. When we meet in the space, I will tell you about the situation here. "

Qingyan was overjoyed when she heard this. It really meant that Cao Cao and Cao Cao were coming. She was just thinking about when they would come, but she didn't expect that the other party started to contact her.

"We arrived yesterday and came to play in Yanyu Lake here today. We are now on the island in the middle of the lake. I always feel that this island in the middle of the lake has some secrets. Then you can come and have a look and see if you can find anything. "

Then she told Chou Chou the story that Yang told her before, as well as some of the points she had doubts about, and of course the Feilaifeng, which she also told Chou Chou. After checking here, if nothing happens, they can go directly to Feilai Peak tomorrow to have a look.

Of course, Chou Chou can also use his spiritual sense to investigate first to see if there is anything going on. Even if they are not there, he still has to go around because this has happened several times. If there is a formation restriction, he can only go and investigate in person. I just discovered it.

Chou Chou nodded in agreement, saying that they should go this way now and try to reach Tonggu County before dark, and come over to have a look when they arrive.

Qingyan also said: "Okay, we can probably leave tomorrow. There is nothing interesting in Tonggu County, and we don't really need specialties or anything like that. We can just leave tomorrow."

It just so happens that Feilai Peak is on the east side and is walking in the same direction as us. It doesn't count as going back, so I won't tell you anymore and will contact you when I get back to the Chen family. "

Qingyan is still playing, and it is not good to keep communicating with Chou Chou. After all, she will stop subconsciously when communicating, as if she is stunned.

After all, when she was with the Yang family, she was stunned for a moment, and it seemed quite impolite for her to ignore what the other party said.

After wandering around the island in the center of the lake for a while, Qingyan and the others felt that other places were not interesting. The main reason was that the season was not right. It would be better if we came in summer or autumn. There would be many flowers and fruits, unlike the ones now. None yet.

So they went directly back to the top of the mountain, and then returned to the pontoon. When they went back, they took the ferry on the platform next to it.

There happened to be a boat that had just unloaded the guests from the other side and was about to return, so they got on the boat directly.

Of course, this boat doesn't just leave as soon as it's boarded. There are only six people in their group plus the people on the boat, so they have to wait for a while. How many more people can there be?

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, five more people came up behind them, and about ten people almost filled the seats below. Then the boat owner started to move.

When we went back, we didn't go in a straight line. We also circled around the island in the middle of the lake and then returned to the shore. If we went back directly, the distance was only one to two hundred meters, so it would be a big loss to charge so much boat money.

They all sat on the first level of the cabin. In fact, the scenery on the first floor and the second floor are similar. Some people like to be in high places, and some people don't like it very much. It just depends on personal preference.

When they saw the island in the middle of the lake again on the ferry, it looked completely different from what they had seen on the pontoon and on the island.

Especially when you turn to the south side and see the platform halfway up the mountain, it looks different.

The view here was from the bottom up, and Qingyan realized that the waterfall, the carved railings on the platform, and the trickle of water leaking from the pool below, looked like they were made by a dexterous girl.

It's really a different scene from every direction. Even if the ferry goes around the island in the middle of the lake, it actually doesn't take long, just over half an hour.

Sitting on the boat is just to look at the scenery, and there is no tea or snacks provided. Even the seats are two wide boards on both sides. If it weren't for the beautifully carved doors and windows, the inside would be really simple.

It might as well be the small boat Qingyan and the others made themselves, at least the facilities inside are much more comfortable than this.

Qingyan and the others didn't say a word. Except for Qingyan and Yuanbao, the others were women who didn't usually do much exercise. This trip was really hard for them.

In addition to them, the other five people were men, three of them came together, and two came alone, so the only voices on the boat were those three.

The three people were chatting about their next trip, saying that they would go to Ruyilou for a good meal later, where a new dish called Shuangfeiyan was recently served.

People who have tried it say it is good, but the price is a bit high, but it is still affordable for an occasional meal, and they are ready to give it a try.

Qingyan was also very curious after hearing this. She also wanted to know what kind of food the pair of flying swallows were, so she listened carefully. Unfortunately, they didn't know either, and they had only heard the name.

In later generations, Qingyan had eaten a dish called Shuangfeiyan, but she had only eaten three or four kinds of them, using completely different ingredients, just arranged in the shape of a swallow.

Among them, there are some made with lobster, some with fish, some with bamboo fungus, and some with noodles. They are really all kinds of, so she is not sure what they are like here.

By the time they got off the boat, Yuanbao had fallen asleep in Qingyan's arms.

Needless to say, rocking on the boat is like being in a cradle, and it is indeed easy for people to doze off.

Even the Yangs were a bit dozed off. After all, they got up very early in the morning and didn't even take a lunch break. They were hiking and wandering around. It's normal to feel sleepy.

After once again rejecting the old nanny's offer to help carry the child, Qingyan carried Yuan Bao and the others off the boat.

Without stopping any longer, he directly boarded the Chen family's carriage waiting by the lake and returned directly to the Chen family.

When they returned to Chen's house, they found that the door of Chen's house was open.

Although the Chen family is not a wealthy family, there are still some rules that should be followed. The door in the middle is usually only opened when guests with higher status come, or during weddings and funerals.

Family members, including ordinary guests, usually use the side door, which is wide enough for carriages to pass through.

Today, the middle door is open. Is there any particularly important guest visiting?

Although the door was open, the carriage they were riding in did not enter through the middle, but entered through the open side door.

It's not to avoid anything, it's just a habit developed by the driver.

They did not stop in the front yard, but went directly along the passage to the middle yard, put Chen Xiaoyan down, and then put down Yang and Chen Xiaoyue mother and daughter in the third yard. Finally, they sent Qingyan and Yuanbao back to the guest yard. The coachman then Go back to the backyard.

The reason why Mrs. Yang did not go to the front yard was because Mrs. Lin, the elder sister-in-law of the Chen family, was now the head of the Chen family. She was the second wife and there was no need to go there to join in the fun.
