Chapter 59: There are beasts in the water of Zegeng
Yan Yan and Deng Wenming were the only ones left in the room.
Yan Yan met this boy yesterday, but she only met him face to face at that time, so she didn't pay attention to him.
At this moment, he was standing upright in front of Yan Yan. His fair face was not handsome, but he was not as dark and muscular as the boys in the village.
The young man's temperament matches his name, which is quite civilized.
Yan Yan had no intention of going out for a walk. Facing this reserved young man, she couldn't just send him away, so she sat down at the table.
Picking up the book on the table, Yan Yan nodded to the young man: "Please sit down."
If you feel bored after sitting for a while, you will naturally leave.
Yan Yan had this plan in her heart.
Deng Wenming sat down opposite Yan Yan. Seeing the girl lowering her head while flipping through a book with a serious look on her face, he boldly took a look at her.
The girl's eyebrows were slightly drooped. From Deng Wenming's side, only half of the soft green temples and Lian Juan's eyebrows were trimmed. Her eyes were covered by thick and long eyelashes, which were like butterfly wings, soft and soft.
Under her straight and drooping nose, there are lips that look like begonia stamens.
The girl has a slender figure, wrapped in a loose velvet embroidered cloak, making her look even more petite and exquisite. A circle of white fluffy snowcat fur rolls around the ingot collar, revealing only a small part of her soft neck, and only a small piece of skin.
It's so white that it dazzles people's eyes.
Deng Wenming had never seen a girl with such fair skin.
When the girl reads quietly, she loses a bit of intelligence and adds a bit of elegance, becoming as quiet as the person in the painting...
The boy's Adam's apple rolled.
He knew in his heart that this fairy-like Tang girl had no interest in going out with him at all.
But he couldn't bear to leave, and he didn't dare to speak.
I couldn't bear to disturb her reading.
Deng Wenming felt that even if he didn't do anything and just looked at Yan Yan quietly, he would never get tired of it for the rest of his life!
The book Yan Yan brought was titled "A Study of Foreign Objects in Mountains and Seas", and it was a volume of ancient books that she collected from an antique shop.
Cang Hua also looked through this book. He said that the excerpts were basically true and he also left annotations in the book.
She happened to see an introduction about strange creatures in the mountains and seas.
This chapter is about what Bi Cheng has always been thinking about - the Gu carving.
Yan Yan originally only planned to leave the person alone for a while, but when the other person was about to leave, she took advantage of the situation and said a few polite words before seeing the guest off, neither being rude nor forcing herself.
She had tried this method many times before.
But when she opened the book, she quickly fell into a state of forgetfulness and completely forgot about Deng Wenming.
The book in my hand turned over page by page...
After looking at it for an unknown amount of time, my mouth felt a little dry. I subconsciously reached for the tea cup next to me, only to find that even the cold tea was gone.
Yan Yan reached out to lift the hanging pot on the brazier, but it was also empty.
Carrying a copper sling, she got up to fetch water.
As soon as I walked to the door, someone pushed the door open from the outside.
Deng Wenming walked in carrying a copper sling.
When Yan Yan saw the person, he blinked his big eyes, his expression was blank and confused.
Just as she was about to ask him what he was doing here, she suddenly remembered that this young man was actually in her room.
Yanyan embarrassed~
Seeing that Yan Yan was also holding a sling in his hand, Deng Wenming blushed and spoke in a low voice: "I've brought back the water. You go read your book."
Yan Yan glanced at the copper sling in the young man's hand, turned sideways, and made way for him.
The young man placed the hanging basket on the charcoal basin and picked up the tongs to add charcoal to the brazier.
Yan Yan put down the copper pot and sat back at the table.
The young man looked over and saw her holding up the book again. He hesitated and asked, "Are you hungry? Why don't you eat before reading?"
Yanyan looked out the window and realized that it was already past noon, mainly because she didn't feel hungry.
After she started practicing, she didn't eat as frequently as before, and sometimes she didn't feel hungry even after six or seven hours.
But right now, when you are a guest in someone else's home, you still have to do as the Romans do.
The food was brought from the white banquet at the second uncle's house. Deng Wenming warmed it on the stove in the kitchen for her, and it was ready when served.
Yan Yan invited him to eat together, and Deng Wenming blushed: "I just went to my second uncle's house to eat."
"Oh" Yan Yan lowered his head and started eating.
Deng Wenming just sat there, watching Yan Yan eat.
Yesterday, when he saw Yan Yan for the first time, he felt that this girl was very powerful, especially when she was pinching the second aunt of the Deng family, she was shrewd and capable.
At this moment, I felt that she was really confused. She forgot everything as soon as she read a book, and she didn't even know when she was hungry or full. It was heartbreaking and funny at the same time.
The way she looked yesterday and the way she read today, he thought she was very beautiful. The main reason was that she was so beautiful that he couldn't get enough of her.
After lunch, Yan Yan saw that Deng Wenming had no intention of leaving. He remembered that the young man had been kept cold by him for most of the day, and he helped her carry water and heated food for her. She felt a little sorry for being left cold again, so she stood up and said
: "Let's go out for a walk."
The young man quickly stood up and opened the door for her.
There wasn't much to see in the village, so the two of them left the village after talking to each other.
Not far away is the sparkling water.
Dengjiazhuang is located at the northern foot of Luwu Mountain. Its location is relatively barren compared to the east slope. There are not as many rare animals here as there are in the southeast city. However, there are several low mountain valleys. Due to the leeward wind, the soil is moist and warm, which is suitable for growing herbs.
"How many people grow medicinal herbs in Zhuangzi?" Yan Yan asked.
Deng Wenming had relaxed a lot at this moment, at least his face was not so red. He shook his head: "There are many families who grow herbal medicine, but my family is the only one who breeds medicinal seedlings."
Yan Yan was a little surprised: "Can you cultivate herbal seedlings?"
She heard Ai Xiang say that growing herbs, especially seedlings, requires some skills.
Feeling Yan Yan's gaze, Deng Wenming blushed slightly and nodded shyly: "Well, I am the only one in the village who can grow herbal seedlings."
No wonder the boy's complexion is fair, unlike the young people in the village who have signs of weathering. He turns out to be a skilled worker.
"Where did you learn this craft?"
Deng Wenming lowered his eyes, looking polite and shy: "I haven't learned it from anyone, I figured it out by myself."
He is a spiritual person.
The two of them had reached the bank of the river unknowingly.
"There is no vegetation on the Luwu Mountain, but there are many gold and stones. The water from Zegeng comes out, and the south flow flows into the Pang River."
The river is spread at the foot of Luwu Mountain, almost embracing the entire Luwu City. The river next to Dengjiazhuang is wider and the river course is gentle.
Deng Wenming said that the river does not freeze in winter, and there are fishing boats casting nets on the river all year round.
The round stones on the river beach were swaying white due to the sun. Yan Yan looked at the calm river surface and felt a little itchy in his heart.
She is particularly good at water.
When she was on Earth, her family's garden villa had a private swimming pool. No matter how late she got home, she would always swim for an hour and then take a hot bath before going to bed. This not only helped her lose weight but also helped her sleep.
Looking around, there was no one else on the quiet river beach except the two of them.
The fishing boats are far away in the middle of the river, and the shore cannot be seen clearly. Not far away is a large stone two people high, which can just block the view...
"You wait here for me for a while, you don't have to follow me." Yan Yan didn't explain, turned around and walked towards the big rock.
The young man saw Yan Yan going to the big rock. Although he didn't know what she was doing, he didn't dare to ask.
The girl said she wouldn't let him follow her, so naturally she couldn't ask random questions.
Turning around the boulder, Yanyan entered the Sumeru realm.
What are you going in for?
Let's change into a swimsuit.
Yes, she wants to swim.
Yanyan sewed the swimsuit herself, and the material was the skin of the roe deer owl that Tonba caught last time.
The leather of the roe deer owl is soft and delicate, feels particularly good, and is slightly elastic.
Yanyan originally wanted to make a small waistcoat, but unfortunately the roe owl cub was too small and the whole piece of leather that could be used was limited, so she simply made a swimsuit.
She thought about how she might be able to use it when the road ahead would be long.
I didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly!
Yanyan changed into her swimsuit in Xumi Realm, and when she came out, she plunged into the water.
When she showed her head again, she saw Deng Wenming standing on the river bank waiting in the distance. He didn't realize that she had entered the water at all.
Yan Yan smiled slyly, lowered his body, and disappeared into the water like a fish.
The world between mountains and seas is a natural world. There is no pollution here, and the river water is clear and clean. It is winter, and the water flow is slow. Although the water temperature is a bit cold, you can get used to it quickly if you are active.
The sun is not bad today, and Yanyan enjoys swimming in the water.
She was enjoying herself swimming in the river, but she didn't pay any attention to what was happening behind her. Suddenly, more and more bubbles popped up from the dark bottom of the river.
Deep in the dark river bed, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened...
river bank
Tonba stood on the bank of the river, the hair on his back exploded, the sharp hooks of his front paws appeared, and the beast's pupils shrank into two vertical lines, emitting a fierce and chirping light.
Tonba stared at a certain place under the water, and let out a warning sound of "Woo~" in his throat.
"There is a beast in the water in Zegeng, called Gu Diao. Its shape is like a vulture with horns, and its sound is like the sound of a baby. It is a cannibal."
