Recently, everyone in the Kyoto social circle is buzzing about one thing: it is said that the long-lost daughter of the Su family, one of the four major wealthy families, has returned.
Some p...
"What's wrong?"
Ye Qinchuan was somewhat puzzled.
Why would this young lady ask him to change his seat?
Su Ya couldn't help but feel angry looking at Ye Qinchuan like this; this kind of person was attracting attention without even realizing it.
"Don't you think it's too noisy?"
"Noisy? Where is it noisy? I don't feel it."
Ye Qinchuan still looked completely innocent as he spoke.
"Ye Qinchuan, you..."
Su Ya rarely gets angry, but almost every time she does, it's because of Ye Qinchuan. However, Su Ya doesn't yet realize that her feelings for Ye Qinchuan are different; she simply finds the flight attendants' constant attempts to curry favor with him somewhat annoying.
"Ya Ya, what's wrong?"
Seeing that he still didn't understand, Su Ya simply turned her head away and ignored him.
Ye Qinchuan...
At that moment, he truly felt wronged and had no idea what had happened to this young lady.
If his close friends were here, they could definitely tell him the answer: it's because he's too flashy and attracts a lot of girls, and Suya is a little jealous.
However, both of them were the type to keep their feelings to themselves, and Ye Qinchuan suddenly lost his temper, so the two of them remained silent on the plane afterwards, like complete strangers.
It made the temperature on the plane drop a few degrees.
Passengers near their seats unconsciously pulled the blankets over themselves.
He kept muttering, "Why is it suddenly so cold on the plane?"
Fortunately, Shennongjia is not far from Kyoto, but there are no direct flights there, requiring a transfer, which is inconvenient.
Six hours later, they finally arrived at Shennongjia Airport.
Ye Er had already made all the arrangements. After leaving the airport, they got into the car that had been arranged.
Legend has it that Shennongjia got its name from the legendary ancestor of the Chinese people, Emperor Yan Shennong, who built a ladder of wood here to collect and taste hundreds of herbs, save people from diseases and premature death, and teach them how to farm.
Many tourists have visited this place since then, but they have always only stayed on the outer edge of Shennongjia. There are many ancient legends about Shennongjia, the most famous of which is that the ancient Chinese emperor Shennong, in his quest to taste all kinds of herbs, led his people to a high mountain. Seeing the steep terrain and vast forests, he was overjoyed, convinced that there must be miraculous medicinal herbs hidden there. He first taught the people to "build wooden houses to avoid danger"; then he taught them to "build wooden ladders to help them climb"; after collecting 400 kinds of medicinal herbs, he wrote the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica". To report back to the Heavenly Emperor, he "built a wooden altar, rode a crane, and flew away to heaven". Later generations, remembering the kindness of their ancestor, named this high mountain Shennongjia.
There are tens of thousands of medicinal herbs here, but only about a thousand are known to people to this day. You can imagine how magical Shennongjia is.
This time, they were going deep into Shennongjia.
The area is located in a dangerous place, and there have been news reports of tourists accidentally wandering into the depths and encountering wild men, which has added an even more mysterious veil to Shennongjia.
Ye Er found an off-road vehicle, which was very suitable for driving on the winding mountain roads of Shennongjia.
However, before officially entering Shennongjia, Ye Qinchuan suggested that they first purchase some items, because it was uncertain how many days it would take to find the medicinal herbs that could save Old Madam Ye, so they had a lot of things to prepare.
The group went to the city's most bustling shopping mall and began to buy the things they needed.
Tent, flashlight, sleeping bag, backpack, etc., are all essential, as are food and water.
Ye Qinchuan even took the natural gas stove and showed it off to Su Ya.
Su Ya glanced at Ye Qinchuan, wondering if he thought they were going on vacation. However, she still reminded him, "We don't need that stuff."
Ye Qinchuan had originally envisioned a wonderful future: if Su Ya could have a bowl of hot porridge the next morning, wouldn't she be moved to tears? Unfortunately, his hopes were too high. He wasn't willing to give up.
"It's okay, I can carry this, it's not heavy."
"Young Master Ye, we're here to find something, not for sightseeing, do you understand?"
Seeing that Su Ya was angry, Ye Qinchuan quickly put down the gas stove.
While in the clothing section, Su Ya casually picked up three thick down jackets.
She had just looked up some information about Shennongjia. The climate here is quite unusual, with large temperature differences between day and night. Moreover, due to tectonic movements, the area has become polarized, with tropical rainforests on one side and icy snow-capped mountains on the other.
This time, she didn't know where the thing she was looking for was, so it was better to be prepared.
Ye Qinchuan put down the stove, but took out a lot of self-heating hot pot and self-heating rice. Modern technology is truly advanced; pour in cold water, and the food is cooked in just over ten minutes.
Su Ya glanced at him and said nothing more. Anyway, it was Ye Qinchuan who was carrying it, and once he entered the mountains, he would realize how foolish he had been.
Suya also took some beef jerky and pork jerky, which were not heavy and were very filling.
After finishing their shopping, they returned to their car.
The off-road vehicle officially headed towards Shennongjia.
At first, there were endless forests on both sides, and the scenery was very beautiful. But the further they drove, the more desolate it became, especially in the dead of winter, there was not a single person in sight. Eventually, they drove to the end because there was no road ahead for the car to drive in.
They would have to walk the rest of the way.
Everyone got off the bus, packed their belongings, and slung them on their backs. Then they waited there. Ye Qinchuan had mentioned on the bus that he had found a guide.
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in ethnic minority clothing arrived, leading a young boy.
From afar, we could hear the man shouting, "You're the tourists who want to go deep into Shennongjia."
"Yes, you are the guide?"
Ye Qinchuan remained silent; such matters were usually handled by Ye Er.
Ye Er started chatting with the couple who looked like father and son.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No, the guide is my son—his nickname is Cannes."
The three then noticed the boy. He looked young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. He wasn't particularly good-looking, and his skin was dark and oily, as if he had been exposed to the sun for many years.
However, if you look closely, you'll notice that his eyes are very large. His pupils are dark and darting around.
Ye Qinchuan gave Ye Er a look.
Then Ye Er said, "Brother, I'm being blunt, but you're definitely capable of being a guide."
"Yes, you can rest assured, guests from afar. My son is fluent in animal languages and has been to Shennongjia many times, always returning unharmed."
Ye Qinchuan raised an eyebrow at Su Ya, surprised that this kid could speak animal language. After listening, Ye Er became much more polite, explaining, "It's not that I underestimate you, little brother, it's just that you're so young. Little brother, my name is Ye Er, and I'll have to trouble you with the journey."
