Chapter 107 Falling off the cliff

Yang Shucheng ran towards the deep mountains to the west. Although the snow had stopped this morning, the snow in the mountains was very thick. There was a vast expanse of white snow everywhere. There were birds on the branches of the jade trees, kicking down the snow and making rustling sounds. .

There was no way to identify the road in the mountains, so Yang Shucheng had no choice but to use Taiqing Qigong and run across the snow. Unconsciously, he had already run more than ten miles into the mountains.

Near noon, Yang Shucheng ran across a wide area and saw a small thatched hut on the hillside. Yang Shucheng slowed down unknowingly.

At this time, there was a sound of "ah" in the thatched house, the door made of branches opened, and a middle-aged man with a beard on his face came out.

The man was standing on the hillside and obviously saw him. He was the only pedestrian in the mountain. Yang Shucheng could not avoid it, so he had to step forward.

But the man opened his mouth first and asked: "Who is it? Come to this mountain?"

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to tell the truth: "I came from Prince Shen's Mansion. It snowed last night and I came to the mountains to play."

"It's freezing cold and it's warm in the palace. Why do you come to this barren mountain?"

Yang Shucheng said: "The palace is a wealthy family, and I am an ordinary citizen. I don't get along with them, so I ran to the mountains. I am used to freedom." Feeling that others would not believe him, he added, "Maybe I can catch a sika deer alive. Take it back and make the prince happy."

The man looked up at the sky and said, "It's cold outside, come to the thatched hut."

Seeing his warm invitation, Yang Shucheng had no choice but to follow him into the thatched hut. The hut was narrow, with a bed made of several tree poles and covered with withered grass. There was a small open space in front of it, and there were deer, deer, chickens and rabbits on the ground. Wild animals. Apparently the owner was a hunter.

The man said: "I just got up, you sit down first, it's cold, I'll light the fire."

Yang Shucheng took the opportunity to ask the man: "May I ask your surname for this good man?"

While lighting the fire, the man said: "I have been alone in the mountains for more than twenty years. I have been alone. I have also forgotten my last name. I would like to ask you, Sir, why did you come to the palace of Prince Shen?"

Yang Shucheng had to tell the truth that his name was Yang Shucheng and he was from Yangjiawan. Because Prince Xiaofu was going to Anhui to seek refuge with Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying, he escorted him there. On the way to Prince Shen's mansion, he told the man exactly what he wanted. .

The man said: "It seems that Yang Shaoxia is also a person who is eager for justice and justice. I admire him very much."

Yang Shucheng said: "Senior, you don't have a Henan accent."

The man said: "I'm from Hebei. I have no family or job. I first lived in Beitaihang hunting. In the past few years, I rode oxen and went hunting in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I just came to Dabie Mountain more than ten days ago."

The fire has been lit. As the middle-aged man spoke, he quickly skinned the two hares, tied them on branches, and roasted them on the fire. He wasn't lying, he was a real hunter.

After a while, the scent of hare started to float.

The hunter handed a hare to Yang Shucheng's hand and said, "If you don't mind, please eat a hare."

Yang Shucheng took the rabbit in his hand. The hunter turned around and picked up a black clay pot and said, "Young Master Yang, don't think the wine is too thin. Drink it to warm yourself up."

It was already afternoon, and we were hungry. The two of us were gnawing on rabbit meat, and you drank the wine from the can.

After the two of them finished drinking, they saw that the sky outside the hut was getting darker. Yang Shucheng said to the hunter, "Thank you for the hospitality! I'm leaving."

The hunter didn't try hard to stay, he just said that we would meet again if we were destined.

The hunter sent Yang Shucheng out of the hut. Yang Shucheng walked north, indicating that he was going back to Prince Shen's Mansion. He didn't dare to use Qinggong and slowly walked out of the valley.

Seeing that the hunter was out of sight, Yang Shucheng still endured his temper and walked four or five miles away. When he saw that there was white snow all around and there was no sound, he let go and ran towards the northwest.

After running for about seven or eight miles, it was estimated that we were not very far from King Xiaoyao's villa, so he slowed down and walked north step by step.

We walked up to a high peak and prepared to look at the location of the villa. Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw that the villa was under the peak. I could only see the houses of the villa, high and low, hidden in the dense woods. The area of ​​Prince Shen's Mansion is not large, but the houses are neat and tall, showing the splendor and wealth; the Villa of Prince Xiaoyao is very large, although the houses are sparse, it shows that the owner is wealthy.

Under the peak, there is a narrow valley, which is covered with low trees. A trail is looming, and a vague fragrance floats in the air. I think it is the fragrance of wintersweet.

It's severe winter, how come wintersweet is blooming? Standing on the peak and looking down, I saw white mist steaming in the valley. It turned out that there were several mountain springs. The springs were so warm that the wintersweet steamed into bloom.

Yang Shucheng looked towards the wintersweet forest and saw two young women among the wintersweet flowers. The spring water was flowing, and there were several stone benches placed beside the spring pool. The woman was sitting on the stone bench, and standing next to her was her maid.

I saw this woman with slender eyebrows, fair complexion, and medium height. She was wearing white clothes, which made her slender figure look like a moon-shy flower.

I saw her looking at the plum blossoms with an elegant posture. She was indeed a fresh and refined beauty. Compared with Wang Hongping on the edge of Taihang Mountain, it has a different charm.

Yang Shucheng was hiding on the peak and was looking at it. Suddenly there was a sound behind him and he turned his head sharply. He only saw a big man with a curly beard pushing him, and he fell down from the peak to the valley involuntarily.

The hillside was steep, and there was nowhere to hold it with my hands, so I had to hold my head with both hands and roll down the hillside like a ball.

He quickly rolled to the edge of the spring, but luckily he didn't fall into the spring water to avoid becoming a drowned chicken.

There was thick withered grass and thick snow beside the spring pool. Although Yang Shucheng fell heavily, he was not hurt.

As soon as Yang Shucheng touched the ground, he immediately spun around and stood up. The first thing he saw was two shocked faces.

Although the two women looked at the uninvited guest flying down from the sky, they did not shout out. Instead, with a "swipe" sound, they pulled out the long swords at their waists and pointed the sword pointed at him.

Yang Shucheng said hurriedly: "I was walking on the mountain and accidentally slipped. The snow was very slippery. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for disturbing you two."

The young lady didn't say anything, but the maid said: "You are so bold. There are barren mountains and ridges in front of you. Why did you come here? If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you with one sword."

Yang Shucheng said: "I was walking on the mountains and smelled the fragrance of wintersweet here. I walked to the snow peak without realizing it. My foot slipped and I fell. Please forgive me, Miss. I am very grateful."

The young lady said: "This is a private place, please leave quickly."

Yang Shucheng looked at the steep mountain wall, which was as smooth as a mirror. Climbing up the mountain from here would definitely be ugly. When the young lady saw him in trouble, she was considerate and said:

"Master, please come out from here."

Yang Shucheng thanked him and turned around and walked down the mountain without any reason to stay.

Here, the young lady has already ordered her servants to clear away the snow, exposing the mountain path. This mountain path winds next to the creek and extends out of the valley.

Yang Shucheng walked forward on the mountain path. The young lady and the maid followed at a distance.

When Yang Shucheng saw the young lady walking slowly, he couldn't help but find something to say: "My name is Yang Shucheng, and I am going to Anhui to join Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang. I have been very abrupt today, please forgive me."

The young lady did not speak, but the maid said: "Stop talking too much, or I will kill you with one sword."

Yang Shucheng didn't dare to say anything and walked forward slowly.

This young lady is the only daughter of King Xiaoyao, named Mulan.

It was a cold day today, and Miss Mulan was sitting in the house with a charcoal fire burning, which made her feel warm. She was holding a copy of "Jiang Hu Ji" by Yang Wanli of the Song Dynasty in her hand, and she read every song.

As dusk approached, Miss Mulan suddenly thought that she had not seen the wintersweet flowers in the valley for several days, so she asked her maid to come with her to watch them.

In fact, the wintersweet flowers have already bloomed. Looking at them in the snow today, the cold flavor of the flowers is even more evident. The yellow wintersweet flowers tilt upward, with white snow in the flowers, but the fragrance is revealed from the snow, making it more and more fragrant.

Miss Mulan was sitting by the spring pond admiring the wintersweet flowers. Unexpectedly, a man suddenly fell from the mountain peak.

The Xiaoyao Wang family is rich in wealth and has many servants. They are absolutely rude to strangers who intrude. It's just that Miss Mulan is kind-hearted by nature, and she wants to send Yang Shucheng away as soon as no one can see her.

A group of three people walked forward, turned a mountain bend, and saw a person approaching from a distance.

The man also saw Yang Shucheng and shouted: "You are such a boy, you don't even want to live anymore."
