Rebirth of the Princess Pearl

The group continued on their journey to Dali, Yunnan, talking and laughing along the way, and they didn't feel the journey was too boring.

On this day, when they arrived at a forest, the sun shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light. Ah Xiang sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, the scenery along the way is getting more and more beautiful! Humph! I really hope to get to Dali soon! Humph! I'm as eager as a bird that longs to fly back to the mountains! Humph!"

Huaer smiled and said, "Girl, we haven't even reached Dali yet, but it's already so beautiful. I wonder how much more beautiful it will be when we get there! Humph! It will definitely be like a fairyland on earth, and it will make you intoxicated! Humph!"

Cui Er also agreed, "Yes, young lady, then you and Master Afeng can have fun and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dali! Humph! It will be as happy as a fish swimming freely in the clear lake water! Humph!"

A Feng rode his horse closer to the carriage. Hearing what they said, he smiled and said, "A Xiang, don't worry. When we get to Dali, I will definitely take you to visit all the fun places there! Humph! I will make you happy every day! Humph! Just like the giant dragon guarding the most precious treasure, I will definitely spoil you well! Humph!"

Ah Xiang blushed and said, "You can only say nice things to coax me, humph! But I will remember what you said. If you can't do it by then, I won't let you off! Humph! Just like that powerful tigress, she won't let you off easily! Humph!"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front. Zhao Hu and Li Bao looked at each other and immediately became alert. Zhao Hu said, "Young Master, Young Lady, please wait here for a while. My junior brother and I will go and see what's going on! Humph!"

As they spoke, the two of them rode forward. Not long after, Zhao Hu and Li Bao came back. Li Bao frowned and said, "Young Master, Young Lady, there is a group of bandits ahead robbing the passing merchants! Humph! They look quite arrogant! Humph! They are just like a group of hungry wolves seeing a fat sheep, baring their teeth and claws! Humph!"

When Ah Feng heard this, he immediately became alert and said, "Humph! These bandits dare to do such evil things in broad daylight. How despicable! Humph! We can't just sit there and watch! Humph! They are just like locusts that destroy crops. They must be taught a lesson! Humph!"

Ah Xiang said worriedly, "Ah Feng, don't be too impulsive. Even though we have Zhao Zhuangshi and Li Zhuangshi here, you still have to be careful. Humph! Don't act rashly like a headless fly. Humph!"

Zhao Hu laughed and said, "Don't worry, young lady. These few little thieves are not enough for me and my junior brother to stretch our muscles! Humph! Sir, you stay here to protect the young lady. My junior brother and I will be back soon! Humph! Just like a tiger coming down the mountain, we will definitely beat these little thieves into submission! Humph!"

After that, Zhao Hu and Li Bao rushed over, brandishing their weapons. The bandits were originally surrounding a few merchants and showing off their power. When they saw Zhao Hu and Li Bao rushing over aggressively, they were stunned at first, and then they shouted: "Hey! Where did these two ignorant guys come from? How dare you meddle in our business? Are you tired of living? Humph!"

Zhao Hu responded loudly: "You evil thieves, you have committed many evil deeds. Today, I will teach you a lesson and let you know that there is always someone better than you! Humph! You bad guys are like mice in the dark night, you cannot stand the light. Today, I will beat you to a pulp! Humph!"

The two sides immediately engaged in a melee. Zhao Hu and Li Bao were indeed very skilled in martial arts. In a few moves, they beat the bandits to a pulp, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhao Hu pointed his knife at them and shouted, "Hmph! Do you dare to rob again? Hmph! If I see you doing evil again, I won't be so polite! Hmph! If you dare to do evil again, you will be like a bird that hits the muzzle of a gun, and you will never have a good ending! Hmph!"

The bandits kowtowed repeatedly, shouting, "We won't do it again, we won't do it again, please spare our lives, sirs! Humph!"

Zhao Hu and Li Bao put away their weapons and returned to A Feng and A Xiang. A Feng smiled and said, "You two warriors are really good at fighting! Humph! This time we have eliminated harm for the people! Humph! It's just like a hero saving the people! Humph!"

Zhao Hu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, Sir, you are too kind. These are just some little tricks, not worth mentioning! Humph!"

The group continued on their journey, and after a few days, the weather gradually became hotter. At noon that day, the group stopped by a river to rest, eat some dry food, and drink some water.

Ah Xiang got off the carriage, walked to the river, looked at the clear water, and said to Huaer, "Huaer, this river water looks so cool. I really want to go down and wash my face. Humph! Just like a traveler who has been walking in the desert for a long time and longs for the rain! Humph!"

The flower smiled and said, "Girl, you have to be careful. Although the river looks shallow, there may be undercurrents somewhere. Humph! Don't be like that ignorant little rabbit and jump into the trap rashly. Humph!"

Ah Feng also came over and heard what they said. He said, "Ah Xiang, Hua'er is right. Don't take the risk. If anything happens, I will be so heartbroken! Humph! I will be like an old hen protecting her cubs, worrying about your safety all the time! Humph!"

Ah Xiang rolled her eyes at Ah Feng and said, "I know, I know. I'm just talking, I won't really go down there. Humph!"

At this time, a melodious song came from the other side of the river. Everyone looked curiously and saw a few young girls washing clothes on the other side, singing beautiful songs while washing.

Ah Xiang's eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, this song is so beautiful! Hum! It seems to be a local folk song, so interesting! Hum! It's like the sound of a clear spring flowing in the mountains, so clear and pleasant to the ear! Hum!"

Cui Er also said: "Yes, girl, this song is really pleasant to the ears. It feels like the people here are so charming. Hum! Just like the blooming flowers exuding charming fragrance, they are as attractive as before! Hum!"

Ah Feng smiled and said, "It seems that there are not only beautiful scenery along the way, but also such wonderful songs to accompany us. It's really great! Humph! It's like the unexpected treasure found during the journey, which makes people full of surprises! Humph!"

Everyone listened to the singing, ate some dry food, and after resting for a while, they set out on their journey again.

A few days later, they arrived at a bustling market. The market was crowded with people and there were all kinds of stalls selling snacks, handicrafts, and fresh fruits and vegetables.

Ah Xiang said excitedly, "Wow! This market is so lively! Huh! Ah Feng, let's go shopping! Huh! We are as eager as little explorers who are eager to explore the new world! Huh!"

Ah Feng smiled and said, "Okay, Ah Xiang, we can buy some things for the journey. Humph!"

So, everyone walked into the market. Ah Xiang stopped in front of a jewelry stall, which was filled with all kinds of exquisite silver jewelry, sparkling.

Ah Xiang picked up a silver bracelet, looked at it lovingly, and said, "Oh, this bracelet is so beautiful! Huh! Hua'er, do you think it's beautiful? Huh! It's as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky! Huh!"

Huaer nodded and said, "Girl, this bracelet is really exquisite. It will look great on your hand! Hum! It's like your jade hand is covered with a layer of gorgeous starlight! Hum!"

Ah Feng saw Ah Xiang liked the bracelet and said to the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this bracelet? Humph!"

The stall owner was a kind old man. He smiled and said, "Sir, this bracelet is a special craft here. It costs ten taels of silver. Humph!"

A Feng took out the silver without hesitation and said, "Boss, wrap it up for me. My wife likes it. Humph!"

Ah Xiang quickly grabbed Ah Feng's hand and said, "Ah Feng, you didn't even bargain for the price, and you just bought it like that? Humph! We can't spend this money like water without restraint. Humph! We can't spend money so carelessly in the future, we have to be more careful and thrifty like a miser guarding his treasure. Humph!"

Ah Feng smiled and said, "Ah Xiang, as long as you like it, no matter how much money it costs, it's worth it! Humph! I think spending money on you is like a gardener watering flowers, I give it willingly. Humph!"

Everyone continued to stroll around the market, and Ah Xiang bought some local specialties and shared them with everyone.

While eating, I suddenly heard someone arguing loudly. It turned out that a fruit vendor and a customer were arguing over the price.

The customer shouted, "You are selling these fruits too expensively! Humph! They are not so expensive anywhere else. Aren't you cheating me? Humph! You are just like a greedy jackal who only wants to make more money! Humph!"

The stall owner was not to be outdone and said, "My fruits are all top quality and fresh. I'm only offering this price. You can buy them if you want! Humph! They're just like that stubborn old ox that can't be pulled back! Humph!"

Ah Xiang frowned and said, "Oh, it's not good for them to keep quarreling like this. Ah Feng, let's go and persuade them. Humph! Just like the messenger of peace, let's calm down this dispute. Humph!"

Ah Feng nodded, and walked over with Ah Xiang. Ah Feng said, "Don't quarrel, it's not easy for everyone to do business, just talk it out. Humph! Just like the peacemaker who mediates conflicts, I hope everyone can be calm. Humph!"

The customer looked at Ah Feng and Ah Xiang and said, "Humph! Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business here! Humph! You are just like that talkative crow, yelling nonsense! Humph!"

Ah Xiang smiled and said, "Brother, we are just passing by. Seeing you guys quarreling so fiercely, we are afraid that you will hurt the harmony. Humph! Look at this fruit, it is really fresh. Boss, you should lower the price a little bit, it will be better for everyone. Humph! Just like the enthusiastic person who tried to stop the quarrel, I hope you can each take a step back. Humph!"

After hearing what Ah Xiang said, the stall owner thought for a moment and said, "Well, for the sake of this girl, I'll sell it to you at a lower price. Humph! Just like the ice cube softened by the spring breeze, it has made concessions. Humph!"

The customer then calmed down, paid the money, and left with the fruit.

Ah Xiang smiled and said to Ah Feng: "Look, it would be great if we could all get along. It's just like the spring breeze blowing across the land, bringing peace and tranquility. Humph!"

Ah Feng smiled and said, "Yes, Ah Xiang, you still have a way. Humph! Just like that wise military advisor, you can always come up with good ideas. Humph!"

After strolling around the market, everyone continued on their journey towards Dali, Yunnan.
