Loxin Amusement Park

There are different types of trees in the forest and their growing environments are also different.

Every time you walk through an area, you will often see plants with different appearances. The trees in this area are obviously much thicker than those elsewhere, and it is almost impossible for one person to fully embrace them with just his hands.

The height is almost reaching the clouds, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the treetops, but there are still large shadows on the ground.

What is even more eye-catching is a tree house built on a big tree not far away.

The tree house is five or six meters above the ground and is built out of thin air. The four corners of the base are connected to a big tree with many hemp ropes to disperse the force.

Looking closely, you can see metallic colors flashing among the strands of the hemp rope, indicating that some materials have been added to make it less likely to break.

Naturally grown vines cover the outside of the tree house with a layer of green branches and leaves, blending with the surrounding colors.

There are many decorations of different styles hanging on the doors and windows, which look carefully arranged.

Shi Yan stared at it for a while and said, "This feels like a place where elves live."

It reminds people of the residences of special tribes living in paradise in fairy tales.

The male insect flew further forward and entered through the gap in the window. When it came back, it was carrying the flightless female insect on its back.

Ding Can took them and put them in the small cloth bag around his waist.

"Lingyi is in the tree house, go up and take a look."

There is a rotating wooden staircase at the back of the tree house, which makes a natural creaking sound when you step on it.

Ding Can stopped in front of the door and raised his hand to knock on it.

The door was not locked and was pushed open with a little force. The shell wind chimes hanging on the door made a crisp sound.

She also saw the scene inside the house. When she looked from below, she felt that the house was not small. Now she realized that it actually had two bedrooms and a living room.

In addition to being made of wood, the walls have also been given basic waterproofing treatment. Judging from the interior decoration alone, one would not think that this is just a tree house.

It looks very lively and it is obvious that someone takes good care of it every day.

"Is anyone there?" She pushed the door open a little more and noticed the other side of the room that was out of her sight just now.

There were two figures standing together near the window. The aroma of food reached my nose, smelling like the sweet aroma of baked goods.

The two turned around, one of them was Lingyi, and the other girl had medium-length blonde hair.

Probably for the convenience of daily life, girls' hair is not too long and is braided into a single-sided pigtail that falls to the collarbone.

She wore a warm yellow headscarf that covered part of her forehead, making her already petite face look even smaller.

She was wearing a simple linen skirt, but like Lingyi, although the material of the clothes looked ordinary, she was also wearing accessories.

A series of colorful stones are hung around the waist of the long skirt, the neckline, and the edge of the headscarf.

This may be a local custom. Even if living conditions are average, daily clothing cannot be neglected.

"It's you!" Ling's eyes lit up when she saw Ding Can.

The girl turned her head, the gentle expression on her face never changing: "Do you know her?"

Lingyi explained, "I saw someone outside the forest last night who wanted to explore the forest. He said there was some priceless gem here."

"I've never heard of it. You haven't been tricked, have you?" the girl said, her tone very concerned. "Oh, by the way, my name is Xiyin, and my family has lived in the forest for several generations."

Xi Yin is indeed very beautiful, with a fair face without a single flaw. Just seeing them standing together makes people feel that they are a perfect match.

She was standing by the stove, with some flour left over from cooking on her sleeves. This everyday posture made her look gentle and lovely.

"I don't know what's going on now, but since I'm here, I might as well come and see the scenery in the forest."

Ding Can made room at the door while he spoke. "By the way, I told you yesterday that I had companions with me. They're here today too. Can they come in?"

"Of course." Xi Yin agreed and saw a series of people following her, until they were all standing in the tree house, and it even seemed crowded.

"Where are you from?" Xi Yin rarely saw so many outsiders at the same time, especially since their clothes looked very different from his own.

She looked over curiously, her gaze very pure and not making people feel uncomfortable.

After all, apart from the people living in the nearby mountain villages, few people come here. From childhood to adulthood, Xiyin only knows a few people.

"We came from the east, across a vast ocean, and we heard about this place from others."

"In the past, merchants from the east did come here to sell goods. The wind chimes at the door were bought for me by my father."

Shi Yan walked towards the south-facing terrace of the tree house and noticed that a special type of grass was drying on the platform rack.

She picked up a small piece, put it to her nose and smelled it. It exuded a unique herbal fragrance, but she couldn't recognize what kind it was.

What's even more amazing is that even though the rhizome of this herb has been completely dried out by the sun, the seeds on it look unusually plump. In the sunlight, they emit a clear amber-like glow.

"Does your father make a living by picking herbs?"

"Yes, you know these herbs. I live with my father and brother, and they go to the edge of a nearby canyon every morning."

Xiyin has lived with his father and brothers since he was a child. Although he can be self-sufficient in the forest, he still needs to earn extra money to buy some basic necessities of life.

This special herb that grows on the edge of the canyon is their main source of livelihood.

The herb is called Panzhuzi. It cannot be planted in ordinary land and can only survive in the cracks of rocks. Even under such harsh conditions, it can grow into a plant.

The climbing plant relies on its stems and leaves to absorb moisture from the air as a source of nutrition, so it does not need extra soil for support.

It can also be used as a good medicine for bone injury recovery.

There is no good solution for bone injuries, and the only way to heal them is through long-term rest.

However, the climbing bead fruit can speed up the recovery of bone injuries. After drying it in the sun, the originally moist fruit will become almost solidified.

After the spring water is heated to boiling, throw the fruit in. After cooking for half an hour, the fruit will completely melt in the water.

After cooling down, it will form a light yellow gel. When applied to the injured area that needs recovery, it will not only speed up the healing of bone injuries, but also reduce a lot of discomfort during healing.

It is precisely because of its precious benefits that Xiyin's father and brother chose to take the risk.

And it can only be picked in the early morning every day. After the sun comes out, a protective film will form on the surface of the climbing bead. Even if it is picked, it has almost no medicinal effect.

"I've been so busy chatting with you guys. I still have to go and bring them breakfast."

Xiyin opened the steamer next to her, which contained a lot of long steamed buns.

Her family would go out early, so she would always make breakfast and bring it over around that time, just in time for them to eat together, and then she would walk back.

"Then let's go together. I also want to see what a climbing bead actually looks like."

"Okay, then I'll bring you some food for the journey. I made a lot."

A group of people came out of the hut again. Among them, Ling Yi and Ding Can had met yesterday and were the most familiar with her, so they started talking to her.

He was still helping Xi Yin hold the food basket, the top of which was covered with white gauze: "You came so early, you must have come in before daybreak."

"Yesterday, after listening to your reminder, we met up and set up camp outside. However, we were unfamiliar with the place and slept poorly. We woke up early in the morning and wanted to go into the woods. Unexpectedly, we met you again."

Ding Can uttered a sound, as if he had thought of something. "Oh, right? Didn't you say you lived in the forest? Why are you at Xiyin's house?"

"You didn't go into the forest yesterday, so you didn't know. I originally wanted to find a tree, but for some reason there was a strong wind yesterday. I felt it was dangerous, so I came to stay at Xiyin's house."

Lingyi scratched his head: "I disturbed them late at night and got scolded by my uncle."

Ding Can raised his eyebrows almost invisibly. They followed him all the way yesterday. There was no sudden evil wind. Why would Ling Yi lie?

Xiyin walked beside him, picking a few wild flowers along the way. She smiled helplessly: "My father has this temper. I don't know why, but he always dislikes Lingyi."

Ding Can pretended to be gossipy: "You two are boyfriend and girlfriend, right? That's why her father has higher expectations of you."

"No way..." Xi Yin retorted subconsciously, but her blushing face betrayed her.

It seems that the two young people do have feelings for each other, but they have not yet reached the point of confirming their relationship. Moreover, Xiyin's father does not seem to be very satisfied.

Lingyi then explained: "We were just good friends who often played together when we were young."

"I understand," Ding Can said perfunctorily, "This steamed bun is delicious. I'll give it to them to try."

Then he slowed down his pace and walked to the same place as Xia Jialian behind him: "What do you think he is hiding?"

Xia Jialian stared at Lingyi's back: "If I'm not mistaken, the place where he stopped yesterday is where the father and son often go to pick herbs."

When the two are linked together, it is easy to make people imagine.

"Let's wait until we get there and see the actual situation."

Ding Can turned his head to look at Lin He. He was walking leisurely at the end of the team, looking as if it had nothing to do with him, and did not take the initiative to talk to everyone.

This person really doesn't seem to be in a hurry, since it's about the copy.

I mentioned in the cave yesterday that we wanted to exchange information related to the system, but then everyone tacitly agreed not to bring it up again.

You have to really share the joys and sorrows before you can think about what's next.

"It's just ahead, we'll be there soon." Xiyin gave a reminder as they were approaching the canyon.

One side of the canyon is almost a steep cliff, but it is not completely steep, and there are places to step on it.

Usually, Xiyin's father would tie a rope around his waist and go down to pick the fruits. His brother would watch the rope inserted into the tree trunk at the edge of the cliff, and also wrap a piece of it around his hand to prevent any accidents.

But after his sight was no longer blocked by the trees, Xi Yin was stunned for a moment: "Where are the people? Did they go back?"

At the edge of the canyon, she didn't see her brother who was supposed to be there.
