Chapter Fifty-Seven Entering the Mountain
From a month ago, Yang Yunqiu had nothing to do every day, so he made several 'Lingli cameras', which were almost all installed in places where Wenshan could walk. Not to mention that they are all over the place, there are hardly any dead ends.
Now, dolls can easily and comfortably monitor the entire Warm Mountain without delaying his game.
As for the reclusive 'divine doctor', Yang Yunque was not very familiar with him, except that once the 'divine doctor' came out to collect medicine and encountered a heavy rain, Yang Yunque took him in for one night.
In short, we can barely be considered acquaintances.
Of course, that heavy rain was not caused by Yang Yunqiu, he didn't have the ability to summon wind and rain yet. However, it's impossible for a 'divine doctor' like him to coincidentally pass through various obstacles and find his way to their doorstep.
He is said to be a divine doctor, but in fact, he is just an ordinary old man with a very common personality. He may be a good doctor, but there's nothing mysterious about him at all. The reason he doesn't want to leave Wēn Shān is probably because of the excellent medicinal herbs that grow naturally there.
Seventy years of life is a rarity since ancient times, he was an old man over seventy years old, alone and without family, his only hobby was making medicine, naturally he had to find a mountain forest with natural medicinal herbs to live in seclusion.
Yang Yunqiu himself was not proficient in refining medicine, but his father was a master. The abandoned seed left by Yang Jingtian gradually merged with his divine soul, and the information he obtained became more and more abundant. Countless ancient medical books that were closer to the past appeared in his memory, unlike the future prescriptions he got from the doll, which were cold and unfamiliar. The names of the medicinal materials used were also recognized by ordinary doctors.
He simply compiled some medicinal prescriptions that didn't require masters' techniques and casually revealed a bit to the divine doctor, instantly piquing his interest and attracting him to frequently visit this side, naturally connecting with each other.
Actually, getting acquainted with this divine doctor may not necessarily be useful in the end, but it's better to prepare for a rainy day.
Time flies, Yang Yunqiu has also become familiar with the Sun family. He has money in his hands and is generous with it. Except for Mrs. Yu and her close confidants, whom he keeps at arm's length, he gets along well with everyone else in the household.
Sun Zhifu's attendants, including his secretary and servants, had a decent relationship with him at least.
It's clear that Magistrate Sun also values this son, definitely can't compare to the eldest legitimate son, but can be compared to the other two sons who were raised by his side since young.
Li Shanshan and he also became slightly closer.
It snowed early this morning.
The sky was faintly bright, and Li Shanshan got up from the couch, pushed open the window, and saw a vast expanse of whiteness, lost in thought as she leaned against the windowsill.
Qiu'er's maid, Zi Yun, hastily came over to help her put on a large cloak and said with a smile: "Miss, be careful not to catch a chill. If you want to enjoy the snow, why not go for a walk at Second Young Master's hot spring villa?"
Li Shanshan's normally indifferent face also revealed a hint of a smile.
These days, the little maids around her have all been bought over by the teacher, and compared to other people in the Sun family, Ziyun obviously likes Yang Yuxiu more, even to the point of worship.
Zi Yun is Li Shan Shan, also the loyal servant trained by Yin Xi Ping's father. Her heart is entirely devoted to Li Shan Shan, and her life and death are determined by her master. She is absolutely loyal and dedicated. Yang Yun Qiu and Li Shan Shan's affair was not intentionally hidden from her, so she naturally knew that Tian Zhi Xian Sheng was the second young master of the Sun family. She also knew that the second young master had taken a reclusive old immortal as his master, and now that his master is traveling the world, the immortal's residence has been temporarily left in the care of the second young master.
Er Ya and Zi Yun got along well, one thought that the young master of their own family was a god, and the other thought that the second young master was a disciple of a god. The two maids would often gather together to embroider and chat, even if they couldn't share their own secrets, but being with someone who knew the same secret made their relationship naturally better.
Li Shan Shan was still gazing longingly out the window, when Zi Yun pulled her down to sit, closing the window. The little maid's face drooped in displeasure as she helped her mistress sit properly and presented a cup of tea. Finally, she couldn't help but complain: "Today I went to pick up some ginseng for Miss, but they only gave me a small amount of ginseng fibers, saying that Miss is too young to eat the real thing... That ginseng was our own family's, and when Miss arrived, Master had entrusted 300,000 silver coins to Sun Zhi Fu."
"Hmph, Miss and Young Master's engagement hasn't even been finalized, yet they're treating our family's wealth as their own, that's nothing to be concerned about. But look at the situation now, all the servants in the courtyard are saying that Miss has a hard fate, killing off her parents and brothers, isn't this pushing Miss towards death?"
"Shut up, let's go, stop nagging. Later, Second Master will take us to the villa to soak in the hot springs."
Zi Yun was delighted.
Yin Xiping used to attach great importance to this marriage contract, but Li Shanshan had no intention of getting married in this lower realm.
It seems that Yang Yunqiu and Li Shanshan have gotten closer, probably with the intention of Sun Zhifu. Sun Zhifu is not a petty person, but he's not quite a gentleman either. He has a marriage agreement with the Yin family, but now he wants to break it off. However, if Li Shanshan still marries into the Sun family, not as the eldest son's wife, but as Yang Yunqiu's, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? Although it's not suitable for a legitimate daughter to marry a concubine's son, he can register Yang Yunqiu under his wife's name. If Li Shanshan is willing herself, then it would be even more perfect.
The problem of marrying off, Yang Yunqiu had also considered, not just for Li Shanshan, but also for the female students who would come later, this was indeed a problem. Of course, some girls here didn't feel any pressure when it came to marrying off and even found it interesting, but others couldn't accept it. As for the male students, most of them probably hoped to enjoy the pleasure of being surrounded by beautiful women.
At least Wang Yi is now hooked up with the village flower in their village.
He thought that if not, then let the long-staying female students who were unwilling to marry marry their male classmates, just pretending to be so. If not, they would go to the Taoist temple or the nunnery to become a nun. Such things depend on each person's intentions. It's really unbearable. At worst, Yang Yunqiu can't take charge of everything, and it's all about tempering their character, letting students descend, originally for the sake of training them.
Li Shanshan had Zi Yun send a message to Er Ya, and when Yang Yunqiu returned, she told Sun Zhifu that she wanted to take her cousin to Wenshui Zhuangzi for a few days. Sun Zhifu readily agreed, only asking her to bring the necessary servants and guards.
The road chosen by Yang Yunqiu is very easy to walk, even carriages can go up, a desolate mountain with few people, has also become more lively.
Arrived at the mountain, Sun's family and others were all accommodated in the newly built hot spring villa. They could either go to soak in the hot springs with their servants or go horseback riding and hunting as they pleased.
Yang Yunqiu took her people and rushed along the secret path to the base.
In the base, there is absolutely nothing in the world that doesn't exist, and it's unknown whether there are any magical objects in heaven. Li Shanshan isn't surprised, after all, they've already achieved time-space shuttle, so what's new about Yang Yunqiu bringing over more advanced electronic devices like 'computers' and 'projectors'? Zi Yun and Er Ya still can't adapt to this even now.
Two girls were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night, and in the middle of the night, they hugged various ancient costume TV series DVDs sent by Yang Yunqiu and refused to let go.
Yang Yunqiu also warned them that day: "There may be guests coming in the next few days, so be more alert."
The daylight gradually darkens, and night falls.
Mu Changsheng crouched in the snow, his teeth chattering incessantly. His brocade clothes were soaked through and frozen stiff, so that when he touched them, they felt hard and rigid, making it difficult for him to move at all.
Just as Mu Changsheng felt his limbs becoming numb and senseless, thinking that this time he would probably really fall here, a gray figure finally appeared in front of him.
It is old steward Mu Ying.
"Uncle Mu, how is it? Is there a way out up ahead?"
It's no wonder that Mu Changsheng is anxious, they escorted the master into the mountain, and it was extremely difficult to walk. The terrain here is steep and the forest is dense. They had heard that Wen Mountain was a strange place in the local area, not easy to navigate. They came in a hurry, the young master's illness couldn't be delayed, but they forgot to find a guide. Although they were all experienced outdoorsmen, as soon as they entered the mountain, they got confused about directions. Especially today, it seemed like they had encountered some evil spirit and inexplicably got lost. They had been circling around this area for twenty or thirty times.
They may be broken here, but the masters and young masters are somewhat damaged, what's good?
Mu nodded his head and Mu Changsheng's face also turned gloomy.
"Let's reconcile with Master first, maybe wait till dawn..."
Mu should shut his mouth, they just walked from dawn till dusk, and still couldn't get out. What's the use of waiting for dawn again? He even vaguely suspected that they might have encountered some kind of ghostly wall or something.
Two people silently returned to the camp where Wang Ye was stationed, and at a glance, they saw Wang Ye standing in front of the horse carriage, seemingly talking to a little girl. Mu Ying hurriedly walked over, and just heard the little girl's voice ringing out clearly.
"Goodness, it's not my fault. Today, the master of the house went to visit a friend. Who would dare to casually open the mountain-protection array? It's strange and unexpected. Who knew it would be so coincidental that you all rushed in before the law array was opened? Now it's late at night, according to the rules, there's no way to activate the law array to send you out, can only wait until dawn."
That little girl looked at the group of people around her who were tired, hungry and shivering with cold, and frowned: "Forget it, you all follow me back first, I'll ask Zhou Da to see if he can let you stay overnight, and send you out again tomorrow... how about that?"
What else can they do, unless they want to freeze to death, they have no choice but to listen to this little girl.
The little girl led a group of people walking aimlessly, the mountain that had been troubling them all day seemed to have suddenly become much more obedient, and in an instant, they walked out of the forest.
"Today, our family's Miss Biao is also staying at home, so be extra careful not to bump into her." The little girl chattered all the way, although she looked ordinary, but was very lively and lovely, which made Mu Ying feel a bit more at ease. He turned his head to look at his own master, Wang Ye, whose expression didn't change, but the worry between his eyebrows seemed to have decreased slightly.
