Chapter 1 Fang Yuan
Qingling Mountain.
This mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and its depth is unknown. It is rich in products, and it has supported a group of nearby mountain people.
Just go in from the outside, the fog is getting heavier, there is no path, even the old hunters who have been in the mountains all the year round are easy to get lost.
But at this time, the two figures walked side by side, gradually deepening, no matter the jagged rocks or the dense jungle, they were all walking on flat ground.
Not long after, a valley appeared in front of it, the earth's atmosphere rose, and wisps of mist lingered, forming crystal dewdrops on the green leaves, reflecting colorful halos in the sun.
"Hmm... The earth's air is rising, and the seasons are like spring. It's a good place. Is that person here?"
Among them, a man with a goatee, eyebrows and eyes like knives, and palms like chicken feet asked.
He was wearing a navy blue robe, his eyes were cold and sharp, with a hint of disdain, looking around like a tiger, causing a middle-aged man next to him to wipe the cold sweat off his face with a smile: "Exactly... there is a separate courtyard in this valley, which was built by my friend, and my nephew is also there."
"At this time, you still call him nephew?"
The goatee old man asked back with a sneer.
"Sigh... No matter how you say it, I have been friends with his master for decades, not to mention, this time I feel ashamed of him... Sigh..."
The foreigner sighed, and the bitterness between his brows was even worse.
While talking, the two had already entered the valley.
This valley is not big, but it has a warm feeling, and there is a clear spring flowing slowly, the environment is very quiet, there is a courtyard in the middle, very delicate, surrounded by a fence, planted some jade crystal rice, grains Full-bodied, full of vitality, the growth is very gratifying.
"Hmm... This yard and this place are very good... Your old friend seems to have a chest, but unfortunately he is dead..."
The old man with the goatee shook his head.
"The layman Wenxin hides from the world and doesn't ask about common things, but he is very accomplished in first-hand medical skills and planting. I also met him by chance. My virtuous nephew is the orphan he adopted..."
The member shook his head and said.
The two stepped forward, crossed the fence, and knocked on the door.
Boom!
The clear voice echoed in the valley, but there was no response.
"Huh? Nobody?"
The staff members were a little surprised, but the old man with the goatee next to him pushed the door unceremoniously: "Hmph! Playing tricks!"
The display in the abode is very simple, except for the necessary living utensils, there is only a quiet room, but behind the abode, there is a small door, after opening, a larger flower garden appears.
A spring spring surges in the middle of the flower garden, bubbling with running water, making a sound of ding-dong, which contrasts with the surrounding colorful.
And among several flowers, a young man raised his head: "So it's Uncle Lin who came? Please wait a moment! I'll finish planting this camellia!"
He looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with big eyes and piercing eyes. He was not very handsome. He had a very ordinary appearance, and he was wearing coarse clothes. His cuffs were rolled up and his trousers were stained with mud, just like a dedicated old farmer.
"Oh, Fang Yuan, do your work first, I'm not in a hurry!"
Perhaps because he felt ashamed, Uncle Lin smiled awkwardly.
Planting tea is quite particular, especially this camellia, which likes shade but not heat. Fang Yuan deliberately found a spring, and planted the camellia slowly in a shady place.
First he loosened the soil, then watered and fertilized. The water was watered with mountain spring water, and he left it for two days. His movements were not fast, but he was meticulous, giving people a pleasing feeling.
After everything was done, Fang Yuan came to the edge of the clear spring again, washing the dirt from his hands and feet.
This spring water comes from the living eyes of the ground, it is extremely cool to the touch, and it does not feel icy cold, it is the top grade among the top grades.
After freshening up, Fang Yuan walked slowly into the room, and saw the impatient old man.
"Uncle Lin, who is this?"
There was a hint of doubt on his face.
"Ha... let me introduce you!"
Lin Yuanwai laughed and said: "This is the deacon of Gui Lingzong's outer sect, the cold-faced Tie Ying Yu Qiu and Mr. Leng Yu... As you know, Lei Yue also joined this sect just now..."
"Hi Mr. Yu!"
Fang Yuan greeted them with a very honest smile.
"Hmph! Sure enough, they are wild people from the mountains. They don't know etiquette. I waited for a long time, and I didn't even have a cup of tea!"
Yu Qiu snorted coldly, it seems that if the Lin officer next to him didn't pull him away, he would have taught this ignorant boy a lesson.
"I'm sorry, the humble house is simple, I neglected the distinguished guests..."
Regarding this, Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows, replied in a calm manner, and then looked outside the Lin staff: "Uncle Lin, why are you here this time?"
"this and that……"
Member Lin hesitated, and after a long time, he blushed and said: "Leiyue has joined the Guiling Sect, which is one of the largest sects within a hundred miles, with Wuzong sitting in it. I like it very much, and even accepted her as a direct disciple, just to practice the martial arts of the suzerain, it must be of pure yin quality, so...your marriage with Leiyue..."
"snort!"
At this time, Yu Qiuleng said directly: "Miss Leiyue is my lord's master's apprentice, she has extraordinary aptitude, and she may be able to attack the realm of Wuzong in the future..."
Although I didn't say anything about it, the analogy between the toad and the swan meat is still ready to come out.
"Oh I got it!"
Fang Yuan listened, pondered for a while, but said slowly: "You two wait a moment!"
Get up directly and go into the back room.
"Huh?"
This gesture surprised Lin Yuanwai.
He asked himself that even when he was young, if he encountered such a thing, he would definitely not be able to maintain such calmness.
'Could it be that you are secretly angry and want to kill the fish and break the net? '
Member Lin felt a little chilled, and looked at Yu Qiulen next to him, but the old god cast a wink over him, the meaning was very obvious.
Even if that boy wants to jump over the wall in a hurry, he is definitely not the opponent of this cold-faced Tie Ying.
"Uncle Lin!"
The door opened with a creak, and Fang Yuan's figure came out, holding a wooden box in his hand: "This is the marriage letter between me and Miss Leiyue. Since the engagement, my nephew has thought about it several times, and I feel that I am not good enough. Miss Leiyue, the fact that Uncle Lin can come today really puts an end to one of my worries."
"Um?"
Lin Yuanwai took it in a daze, and after opening it, he saw the previous marriage certificate, which was not fake.
Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, and he was stunned for a while.
On the other hand, Yu Qiuleng stood up and was about to leave with a look of 'you're pretty knowledgeable and interesting'.
"Alas... Nephew Fang Xian, I won't say much else, you and Leiyue are really destined to have nothing to do... Here is a little kindness, please accept it!"
Clerk Lin blushed, took out a small package from his pocket and handed it over.
"Since it was bestowed by the elders, my nephew will be disrespectful!"
Fang Yuan didn't even look at what was inside, just received it in his hand.
"Very good! Very good!"
The more calm he was, the more embarrassing Lin Yuanwai became, and he dragged Yu Qiuleng away quickly.
...
"Well, it's the title deed of the entire valley, and you can get through the joints. To get this, Lin Yuanwai is quite generous, does he have connections?"
After they left, Fang Yuan opened the package and saw a land deed, a few pieces of gold and silver, and a jade bottle inside, and couldn't help laughing.
He naturally knew that the reason why Lin Yuanwai decided to marry him and Leiyue was entirely because of Master Wenxin layman's wonderful hand rejuvenation, which saved his life, and because of his clinging heart, he made the decision.
Now that his backing has fallen, and the other party's daughter has climbed to a high branch, he can politely discuss the divorce instead of calling directly at the door, which is already relatively restrained.
You really don't have much choice.
Accepting the apology is also for this reason, otherwise it will be resentful and easy to cause trouble.
"If you don't agree, do you still have to say a few words, don't bully the young and poor, and then be wiped out, so as to avoid future troubles?"
Fang Yuan smiled wryly and murmured.
Fortunately, he is open-minded and optimistic by nature, and he has only met Lin Leiyue a few times, and he doesn't have any feelings of admiration, and he is not very depressed.
As for insults, reputation, etc...
For him, an idler who lives in seclusion in the mountains, can those pheasants and hares still laugh at him and lose face?
Therefore, as long as you don't take it seriously, the outside world's reputation will be like a breeze.
Since he is not afraid of losing face, the woman's compensation is really worthless.
"Huh? Red jade rice seeds?"
When he counted them one by one and opened the jade bottle, he called out in surprise.
In the jade vase, there are grains of rice that are crystal clear like jade, round and huge, wrapped in red clothes, and have a hot air, making people salivate.
This is a spiritual seed, which is very cherished. Fang Yuan searched for it for a long time, and once asked Lin Yuanwai, and finally sent it together this time.
"Well, these red corns belong to yang, but they need to be planted when it is yin. Let's plant them on the newly opened ground tonight..."
Fang Yuan weighed the jade bottle with joy on his face.
…………
outside the valley.
"well……"
Foreign Minister Lin sighed, even though he had already made up his mind, it was still a bit regretful to see Fang Yuan's demeanor today, neither humble nor overbearing.
"What? Member Lin is worried?"
Yu Qiu Leng smiled at the side: "The marriage certificate has been withdrawn, and the compensation has been received. Even if he wants to make trouble in the future, it is his own fault...Of course, if you are still not at ease, the old man can turn around again and get rid of this disaster."
"no no!"
Member Lin shook his hands wildly: "I just think Fang Yuan is a really nice guy, but it's a pity that Lei Yue..."
"Hmph, if your daughter becomes Wu Zong in the future, what kind of young talent can't be chosen at will, so why should she be attached to a poor boy in the mountains?"
Yu Qiu joked coldly: "Of course, if you still don't want to give up, you can marry another daughter! Anyway, as long as it's not Miss Leiyue, our suzerain doesn't care about it."
"Hey... all this happened, I don't have the face to mention it..."
Lin Yuanwai sighed and quickened his pace.
The two walked farther and farther, and disappeared beyond the mountains in a blink of an eye.
