Acacia by mistake

The sky is gloomy and the mountains are rolling. On the winding mountain road, a group of cars and horses are in a hurry.

Ah Ran was lying by the car window, staring at the mountains with wide eyes, and poking her head out from time to time to look carefully at a strange-looking dead tree on the side of the road.

Qiao Xiangsi, who was leaning comfortably in the carriage, yawned and muttered, "If there's anything interesting, you've seen it all the way."

It turned out that it had been five or six days since the two of them set out on the road.Whether crossing the river or climbing the mountain, Ah Ran has always been greedy for the scenery along the road, and never gets bored at all.

Hearing Qiao Xiangsi's complaint, Ah Ran turned her head, looked at him seriously, and said, "It's very beautiful."

"Tch." Qiao Xiangsi took this sentence as a compliment to herself, secretly pleased in her heart, straightened up and stretched, "What is this, the world is so big, I don't know how many majestic and magnificent mountains there are It is beyond the imagination of the world. In the past, I passed by 'Sword Peak', which is a solitary peak that rises from the ground and stands thousands of feet high - oh, it is like a sword stuck in the ground, and only those who are extremely light-handed can't climb it. Of course, you can also spend a little more money and have someone pull you up with a hanging basket. It’s fun to sit there, but it’s very windy up there, so you can’t open your mouth casually. There is a sword practice stationed on the top of the mountain. They planted a very special kind of tea tree over there, and the freshly picked tea in spring is brewed with the clear spring on the top of the mountain, with a freshness like a green sharp edge coming out of its sheath, although it is not very sweet, it has a special flavor."

Attracted by the scene described by Qiao Xiangsi, Ah Ran lowered the car curtain and sat beside him.After thinking about it for a while, he said leisurely and fascinated: "That's great."

"There's something more interesting." Qiao Xiangsi saw that Aran was cheering, and talked about her not-so-rich travel experience even more vigorously, "I also passed a Yanyang Mountain. It is said that a hundred years ago, billowing lava erupted. The fire has not been extinguished so far. Climb up and crack an egg, and it will be cooked immediately. Moreover, the rocks on the mountain are extremely light, full of holes, and will not sink when exposed to water. By the way, there is also a spring, which is amazing, it is spicy, My tongue was numb while drinking. But I heard from the accompanying doctor at the time that drinking that kind of water can beautify the skin and keep youth forever.”

Ah Ran thought of something and started to chuckle.Qiao Xiangsi glared at him: "What are you laughing at?"

"You...Did you drink a lot?" Aran asked with a narrow smile.

Qiao Xiangsi said "uh" and her eyes wandered: "There are not many, I just brought a little more. I wanted to make tea on the way, but the water turned black, so I didn't dare to drink it."

Aran couldn't help laughing.Qiao Xiangsi saw that Ah Ran's brows were stretched, and a pair of different pupils shone brightly, as if the sky that had been gloomy for a long time suddenly cleared up.

"If you want to see it, I'll take you there." Qiao Xiangsi became more and more interested, and immediately promised, "After we celebrate Meng Shaoyou's marriage, we won't come back at all, and we will go around first. I heard Meng Shaoyou say , there is an agate lake in the far west. The whole lake is full of agate. You, a little money fan, must like it. My partner has successfully proposed marriage and has been in love so far."

As soon as Ah Ran heard it, his eyes suddenly showed a warm desire: "Agate! Is it worth a lot of money?"

"The saliva is dripping down, don't hesitate to wipe it off." Qiao Xiangsi sneered, "How much is an agate worth? Have you ever heard the nursery rhyme 'Gold and jade are the curtain of pearls, and the ground is piled with thousands of dollars'? It's true." It’s my house, but it’s too shabby and vulgar to describe it. Come home with me, and I’ll take you to see it.”

Ah Ran restrained her financial obsession a little bit, thought for a while, and asked, "Is Hero Meng's uncle still alive? He must be a highly respected senior."

Qiao Xiangsi felt a little lost when he changed the subject, but she continued: "That is a very powerful person. He is very old, but very young. His martial arts are unfathomable. He is the most rumored master in the world."

Ah Ran was taken aback: "I remember you said that if you want to worship the world's number one master as your teacher, is this master?"

Qiao Xiang thought that there was no trace of his teacher's apprentice ceremony, so he was immediately discouraged, scratched his head and said, "Oh, I don't know if they are willing to accept me."

"You are so powerful and smart, anyone would want to accept you as a disciple." Ah Ran comforted.

Qiao Xiangsi glanced at Ah Ran: "What about you? Do you want to accept me as a student?"

"But I have nothing better than you."

"Who said no." Qiao Xiangsi muttered softly, "It's just that you don't want to teach..."

Aran's face turned pale, and she wanted to pretend she didn't hear it, so she endured it and finally asked, "What is it?"

"Of course it's your ability to please people." Qiao Xiangsi said dissatisfied, "The one who falls in love with you is a handsome young man with a lot of money, but the one I admire but doesn't like is a little fool who runs a noodle restaurant. What do you say? How big is the difference? Are you much better than me!"

"Ah?" Ah Ran was surprised at first, and an unspeakable sweet and sour taste slowly surged in his heart, and finally the sourness disappeared, leaving only sweetness. He exhaled slowly, looked at Qiao Xiangsi with a smile, his eyes were shining, but not talking.

"Hmph, let me tell you, I have never done a loss-making business." Qiao Xiangsi pretended to be fierce, "You wait, when you like me, I will pay back the difference even more, and let you He loves me so much that he never wants to leave me."

"Wouldn't it be annoying to be by your side every day." Ah Ran couldn't help laughing.

What else did Qiao Xiangsi say, but the butler knocked on the carriage outside: "Masters, it's snowing."

Ah Ran hurriedly poked her head out to have a look, and saw snowflakes falling from the sky, as big as goose feathers, flying all over the sky, it was really a heavy snowfall that had not been seen in many years.

Now the convoy travels to the Quling area, where there are many mountains and peaks, and the road passes through the mountains, which is the most rugged and difficult.It may be dangerous to advance hastily, and if you proceed slowly, you may be afraid that the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow.

Qiao Xiangsi looked up at the sky, and saw that the clouds were thick, and the heavy snow would not stop for a while.

"Be careful in everything." After thinking for a while, Qiao Xiangsi told the housekeeper, "Choose a few fast-legged ones, and see if there is a place that can shelter from the snow ahead. The others take turns driving, so be careful not to freeze your body."

The butler replied: "I have already sent someone to scout the way—" While speaking, I heard a loud roar, and the butler smiled and said: "It seems that there is a place to rest in front of me, young master, wait a moment, we will be there soon."

Qiao Xiangsi nodded and retreated into the carriage.Seeing that Aran was wearing thin clothes, he pulled out a thick cotton robe and put it on him. After a while, he touched Aran's hand, but he still felt cold.

Finally, when the convoy stopped, Ah Ran held a hand stove, stepped on a foot stove, covered with a fur blanket, almost sweating from the heat.
