Chapter 638 Peach Blossoms

After walking in the mountains for nearly two days, the two finally walked out of the mountains.

As the trees in sight gradually become sparse, the vast paddy fields and plains at the foot of the mountain come into view.

Those paddy fields are like huge cubes, arranged in an orderly manner, large and small. In the misty morning, they reflect colors of varying brightness, some are emerald green, some are orange-yellow, and some are blue-green.

Scattered figures can be seen around the fields, some carrying baskets, some leading oxen, walking among them. Occasionally, a long shout can be heard, echoing in the valley and fields.

Looking at the scenery in the valley, the girl unconsciously felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

Following the man in front of her, she entered a world shrouded in indigo, a misty landscape, and walked along a path through the fields. The morning dew slightly wet the girl's ankles, and the clear water in the paddy fields reflected the clear sky, and also the girl's fair and graceful figure.

As the two were getting closer to the village, the sound of a flute came from the side of the road. The sound was clear, bright, simple and joyful.

Looking around, they saw a group of brightly dressed people approaching, seemingly a wedding procession. Leading the way was a young man in a white suit with red trim, riding a large horse. He looked back every three steps, gazing at the sedan chair being carried by the crowd behind him.

On both sides of the sedan chair, there were people playing some kind of wild bamboo flute. There were about seven or eight of them. After each short piece of playing, there were people singing waka songs behind them, singing a few lines of the unique mountain tunes.

Although the girl did not understand the specific meaning of those folk songs, she could tell from the crowd following the sedan chair and the face of the groom that they were meant to express congratulations and celebrations.

After a while, the team arrived in front of the two of them, and this place happened to be a crossroads.

Seeing that there were quite a lot of people in the group, the girl took a few steps back, hid behind Yu Baichou, and watched them quietly.

"Come one~"

"This is it~"

Amid the shouts and jeers of the family entourage, the groom smiled and dismounted from his horse. He responded with a few words and then came to the door of the sedan chair.

When the girl was wondering what they were going to do, she saw the curtain of the sedan chair opened, and a girl in colorful clothes shyly appeared in front of everyone.

The newlywed woman's long, black hair was braided and wrapped around a tile-shaped headdress. The braided headdress had a vibrant scarlet background, a crescent-shaped circle of pure white fur, and slender white tassels dangling from either side, swaying in the wind.

With the shouts and laughter around him, the groom carried the bride on his back and walked to the open space in front. There were two piles of boxes here, which were the dowry that had been following the team earlier. The boxes were painted with bright and smooth paint, and the texture was very good.

In this way, the groom carried the bride on his back and circled several times between the two piles of boxes. The wedding procession cheered and then sent the bride back to the sedan chair amid laughter.

The team continued to move forward, and the music that had just paused for a moment started again.

When she got closer, the girl finally saw the appearance of the instruments. They were shaped like several long tubes inserted horizontally on the belly of a gourd. The musicians then blew into the mouth of the gourd and pressed their fingers back and forth on the bottom of the long tubes, making varied and crisp sounds.

"This is the local Yeyu clan, and they should be getting married today." Yu Baichou gave the girl a simple explanation.

"Well, that's how it is..." The girl nodded slightly, and at this time several people from the back of the team also came over.

"You two must be guests from afar, right?" They were wearing white clothes with black collars and bowed to greet each other.

"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you." Yu Baichou simply returned the greeting, but the girl next to him was a little confused about the etiquette, so she just blinked and hid behind.

These people were not annoyed when they saw this, probably because they understood that the little girl was shy. They smiled a few times and then asked the ox cart to stop.

"Come on, you two must have been thirsty on the journey. A little tea would be a token of respect."

They opened one of the jars and tilted it slightly, and the clear tea poured out, falling into the crimson square bowl below with a subtle sound of water.

Then the two bowls of tea were brought over.

It just so happened that the two of them had been walking for such a long time, and there was only one or two occasions when they could drink mountain spring water, so they were indeed a little thirsty now.

Yu Baichou said thank you, took the bowl, then turned sideways, ready to ask the girl next to him if she wanted to drink it.

The girl looked at the clear tea, in which were some peach blossoms and tea leaves floating.

"Um...thank you." She stretched out her hands to take the square wooden bowl.

The tea flowed down my throat like a clear mountain spring, neither cold nor hot, feeling very comfortable and lightly sweet. After a bowl of tea, my fatigue dissipated a lot.

[Mountain Peach Blossom Tea] (Ordinary Wood Grade, Excellent): Peach blossoms that have been imbued with extraordinary energy are picked, dried, and brewed with tea leaves. It has a slight effect of dispelling heat and refreshing the mind.

Fanmu, the girl looked at the instructions on the virtual screen, and then recalled the ratings of items in this strange system.

The lowest is mortal wood, followed by black iron, bronze, silver, gold, then pearl, coral, crystal, and finally epic and myth.

Seeing the girl finish her tea, the relatives smiled slightly, took the empty wooden bowl, said goodbye briefly, and then drove the ox cart and slowly caught up with the team in front.

"The Yeyu clan is very hospitable. When entertaining guests, they often use their own brewed mountain flower tea, which has a refreshing taste."
