Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 139
Not long after I entered the house with Chang'e, Rou'er and the others also came back. After greeting each other a few words, Chang'e took out the items retrieved from the return to Guanghan Palace under the expectation of everyone.I stared at a lotus glazed lamp with a weak flame and a white jade bottle of suet with a few drops of turbid water on the round table. I didn't understand it, so I asked, "Sister Chang, this is the fire of the sun you brought back from Guanghan Palace." and the water of Taiyin?" Chang'e rolled her eyes at me and said, "Why do you look down on this thing? Do you know how much effort I have put in to make this thing?" I shook my head and replied, "I don't know. But, these two things are real. Can these restore my golden elixir?" Chang'e patted my forehead and said, "If it can't be repaired, what am I going to do with so much effort to find them? Are they full enough?" I rubbed my aching stomach. The forehead asked: "When will we start repairing the golden elixir?" Chang'e said: "Of course, the sooner the better. But this is the first time I have repaired the golden elixir. If it is not complete, something unpredictable will happen. We You need to find a quieter place to implement it." I frowned and thought for a long time, but I couldn't think of a suitable place. At this time, Xiaoyou interjected: "Brother Hai, you forgot the secret of Qingsong Mountain. Is there a valley here?" Jing Xiaoyou reminded me of that valley suddenly, and said: "There is a very hidden valley on Qingsong Mountain three miles away from the city, we can go there." Chang'e nodded and said: "Okay, Take me to that place tomorrow to have a look, and if it’s suitable, we’ll choose there.” I nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go together tomorrow. Take Brother Jing and Xiaojie, let’s have a winter green hill You." Hearing what I said, Xiaoyou nodded vigorously from the side.No wonder, these days, in order to avoid being exposed, I haven't been out of the mansion, and I have even trapped Xiaoyou in the mansion.When I heard that I was going to go out to play, of course I was very happy.

"By the way, Ah Hai, it will be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in a few days. I brought you some good things." Chang'e said and handed me a small kit. I opened it and saw that there were a few berries in the kit. The red color is very gratifying.I tied the bag and asked, "What is this?" Chang'e said, "This is a thousand-year-old osmanthus fruit. When I returned to Guanghan Palace, the osmanthus fruit was ripe, so I picked a few and made Laba porridge for you." I was a little surprised and said: "Thousand-year-old Guishi Laba porridge, am I eating alone?" Chang'e said with a smile: "It's not just for you to eat by yourself. You first cut this Guishi into pieces, and then eat it while the cook is away." When you pay attention, pour the cinnamon into the porridge pot, so that you can enjoy it from all over the palace? Although my thousand-year-old cinnamon is not as good as Yaochi flat peach and Zhenyuan ginseng fruit, it can prolong life; but it can also strengthen people's health , It has the effect of strengthening the body, so it is my return gift for asking for trouble here." I asked back: "Why, you want to leave?" Chang'e said: "It's not that I want to leave, but we want to leave." I Then she asked, "What do you mean? Wouldn't it be good to stay in the mansion for a while longer?" Chang'e replied, "Did you forget that when we entered the mansion, you told your parents why we came to Beijing?" Said: "Of course I didn't forget, it said that you came to Beijing to visit your relatives. What does this have to do with your living in the mansion?" I don’t want to visit relatives.” I continued to ask: “Then where are you going to live after leaving the palace?” Chang’e said: “If the valley you take us to tomorrow is suitable, we will live there first. Go. After the new year is over, you can come here to find us, and then we can repair the golden elixir for you." Seeing that Chang'e had made up her mind to go, I didn't say anything more, and got up and left after sitting in the plum garden for a while. , went back to Bihai Pavilion.

Not long after I left, several people saw that it was already late at night, so they went to meditate separately.Two hours later, Chang'e finished her meditation, and she opened her eyes to see Rou'er leaning against the window, looking at the plum blossoms in the garden in a trance.Chang'e got up and came to the window, and asked softly: "Why, you are reluctant to leave?" Rou'er was startled, turned around and saw that it was Chang'e, and said with some embarrassment: "I am really reluctant, maybe it is in Guanghan Palace. I’ve been here for a long time, and I’m a little longing for the noise here.” Chang’e patted Rou’er on the shoulder, and persuaded: “Rou’er, you should know that this mortal world is not a place for us to stay for a long time, it’s better to leave as soon as possible.” Rou’er lightly She nodded lightly, and continued to look at Hanmei outside the window. "Well, anyway, the plum blossoms in the garden will wither soon, why don't we make good use of them before they wither." Chang'e said to Rou'er, looking at the plum blossoms outside the window.Rou'er asked: "How will my sister use them?" Chang'e smiled and said: "You follow me first" and pulled Rou'er out of the room to under the plum tree.

Chang'e plucked a plum blossom, approached Rou'er's nose and asked, "This plum blossom is so fragrant, wouldn't it be a pity to let it wither in vain?" Rou'er smiled and asked, "My sister wants to use this plum blossom... Before Rou'er finished speaking, Chang'e interrupted her, nodded and said: "Since my sister already understands, let's do it quickly." The bamboo baskets that have been formed are shuttled among the winter plums.

After breakfast the next day, Situ Jing and I took Chang'e and others out of the palace and drove to Qingsong Mountain.After arriving in the valley, Chang'e was very satisfied, so she decided to stay here temporarily, and only waited to say goodbye at night.After playing in the valley, we drove away.After dinner, Chang'e asked her parents to say goodbye. Although the mother was reluctant, she couldn't force her to stay. She just took Chang'e's hand and told her to come to the mansion if she was free.Chang'e nodded and said that she would come to the mansion again during the New Year to make troubles, and her mother was very happy when she heard this.

Early the next morning, Chang'e took everyone to bid farewell to her mother and left the palace.Before leaving, Chang'e called me aside and told me that she and Rou'er had left a gift for the palace in the plum garden, and asked me to wait half a month to find it, and gave the clay figurine that completed the mission to me. I.After watching them leave, I came to Meiyuan alone, looking for that unknown gift.I almost turned the plum garden over, but I didn't find the parting gift that Chang'e mentioned.When I was fascinated by the plum blossoms in the garden, I heard Chang'e's laughter: "I know you can't bear your temper, and you promised to look for it in half a month. You wouldn't have found it an hour earlier. You should save your energy." I hurriedly asked: "Sister Chang, what gift did you leave behind?" Chang'e said: "The secret of the sky must not be leaked, and we will find out in half a month. Remember, on New Year's Day, I I will bring everyone to the door again, please treat us well. We are leaving, see you in the new year, Ah Hai." The voice gradually moved away from my ears, farther and farther until it disappeared.I glanced back at the plum blossoms in the garden, and left to go back to Bihai Pavilion.

Three days after Chang'e and others left, Situ Rui and his wife also arrived in the capital smoothly. The next day, Situ Jie took Qi Shun out of Prince Ping's Mansion and returned to the palace. That night, the emperor held a dust-cleaning banquet in Shanghe Palace.

Half a month later, on the morning of the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, I forcibly pulled Situ Jing, who was still sound asleep, out of the quilt, and dragged him to the Plum Garden to look for the farewell gift left by Chang'e.As soon as he arrived at the plum garden, a strange fragrance came to his nostrils, which instantly woke up the sleepy Situ Jing. He sniffed the fragrance and said in confusion: "Ah Hai, this fragrance is so special, it contains the fragrance of plum blossoms and the fragrance of wine. The mellow aroma seems to be mixed with other aromas, where did it come from?" I shook my head and said, "I don't know." Situ Jing twitched his nose vigorously and said, "Then let's go Look for it and watch it," he dragged me into the plum garden.Using his special sense of smell, Situ Jing led me all the way to the northeast corner of the plum garden, pointing to a corner and said: "The fragrance here is the strongest, it should come from here." I stepped forward to have a look, here The soil seemed to have been dug up, so he said, "Brother Jing, I'll get a shovel and dig it up to have a look." Situ Jing responded, "Okay." I nodded and ran out.

After burning incense, I came back with the shovel, and Situ Jing took the shovel and started digging.After digging for a while, the shovel seemed to hit something and made a loud sound. Situ Jing dropped the shovel and dug lightly with his hands a few times, and a big mud urn appeared in front of us.I peeled off the sealing mud on the clay urn, lifted the lid of the urn, and a strong aroma of wine rushed out of the Weng, which could not dissipate for a long time.Situ Jing dipped his index finger into some of the residual wine, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and said happily: "This is plum blossom wine. Ever since the wine maker, Master Wu, left the house for retirement, I have never tasted such a delicious plum blossom wine. I want it tonight." Have a good drink with Daddy." Afterwards, Situ Jing found a wine jar, filled it up, covered and sealed the clay urn, buried it again with soil, and then dragged me out of the plum garden.

At dinner, Situ Jing took out the wine jar like a treasure, and said to his father flatteringly: "Daddy, let you taste this rare fine wine today." Dad smiled and said: "Hehe, good. Let me taste your wine." How good is the good wine?" Situ Jing lifted the lid of the altar with a smile, and the strong aroma of wine gushed out again, lingering in the dining room, which was already intoxicating.Dad exclaimed, "I haven't smelled such a mellow smell for a long time. Jing'er fill it up for me." Situ Jing Deling raised the wine jar to fill up the wine glass in front of him, and handed it over.Dad raised his wine glass and drank it down, then praised: "Good wine, it really is good wine. Jinger, where did you get this good wine?" Situ Jing pointed at me and said, "Daddy, you should ask me about this. Hai is all right, I don’t know the details.” Daddy turned his head and asked me, “Hai’er, where did this wine come from?” I replied, “Daddy, this wine is a farewell wine left by the eldest sister of the Bai family. This gift." Dad laughed and said, "That's right, haha. Jing'er, have another drink."The mother who had been silent all this time also raised the wine glass in front of her and said, "Come to Jing'er, pour Er Niang a glass too." Poured myself a glass.Seeing the satisfaction of several people after drinking, the wine worm in my stomach seemed to be about to move, I picked up the extra wine glass at the side, and asked a little timidly: "Daddy, can I have a taste too?" Daddy laughed loudly. "Hai'er has grown up, do you want to drink?" I blushed and said, "Is that okay, Daddy?" Daddy nodded and said, "I have no objection, but it depends on your mother If you don’t agree, it’s useless if you agree to it.” I turned my head and asked my mother, “Is it okay, mother?” My mother nodded and said with blushing cheeks, “I have no objection, but you can’t drink too much. Just a glass." I got up and came to Mother's side, and kissed Mother on the cheek lightly to express my gratitude.Then he put the wine glass in front of Situ Jing, and said, "Brother Jing, pour me a glass too." Situ Jing responded with a smile, "Okay." Then he filled my wine glass and handed it to me.Then he raised his own wine glass and lightly touched mine, saying: "Ah Hai, cheers" and drank it down.I raised my wine glass and took a sip. The mellow wine flowed down my throat and entered my stomach, leaving a fragrance in my mouth.

The dinner begins with the aroma of wine, and ends when the aroma of wine dissipates.After tasting the sweet taste of plum blossom stuffing, I begged for two more cups.After drinking and eating, Situ Jing helped me, who was slightly drunk, back to Bihai Pavilion. After laying me on the bed, he also fell down beside me by the way, and fell asleep.I also slept sweetly in the morning with the strong taste of alcohol.
