In addition to the morning glory, amaranth, trumpet creeper, red spider lily, datura, etc. that Su Keke is familiar with on this mountain, there are also many varieties that she is not familiar with.
There is a kind of thin and small wild flower, whose roots and leaves are like weeds, and the flower buds are purple-blue, and its appearance is similar to morning glory. Grandma Qiao told her that this is called Arabian speedwell, and it has a strong growth ability.
"This name is so special!" Su Keke picked a small flower and held it in her hand, looking at it for a long time.
“There are many more with unique names!”
"Look over there, isn't that a beautiful bright red bud? That's called poppy!"
"The blue ones among the green bushes next to it are called golden marbles!"
"There are also those on the edge of the mountain. The leaves look a bit like tea leaves. There are many white flowers in the middle of the leaves. This kind of flower is called crucian carp gall."
"Hahaha! Can this flower be eaten? Just by listening to the name, it can be put into the recipe!"
Su Keke laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth, looking like she was about to lie down in the sea of flowers.
"Keke, be careful! Don't fall and crush these flowers!"
"Come over here quickly, there are many flowers here that I don't even recognize! Take out your phone and help me take a photo with these flowers."
"By the way! Bring me another shovel, I want to dig a few and plant them in your space."
Grandma Qiao was really happy. Su Keke watched her squatting and bending over, trying over and over again to find a good angle for a photo.
Su Keke also cooperated by taking out her mobile phone from the space and taking three consecutive photos of her.
After taking the photos, the two of them took shovels and started digging flowers and plants that even Grandma Qiao didn't recognize.
After digging, the two entered the space and planted it in the open space outside the capsule house.
After doing all this, the sun has slowly set, and only the last glimmer of gold remains in the sea of flowers.
The two found a piece of open space next to the sea of flowers, and Su Keke moved out outdoor tables and chairs, a gas stove and a barbecue grill for camping from the space.
Finally, I took some common barbecue ingredients such as chicken wings, beef, shrimp, sausage, and corn.
With such a beautiful view, it would be a shame not to have a barbecue here.
While waiting for the ingredients to be marinated for half an hour, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao sat in chairs and watched the last sunset in the mountains.
The wind in March was not too cold in the evening. The two of them watched leisurely until the last sunset.
Su Keke took out an outdoor camping lamp from the space, and the two of them divided the work, Su Keke skewered the bamboo skewers while Grandma Qiao grilled the food.
The first batch of shrimp and beef are easy to cook, and the chicken wings, ham and corn are slowly roasted later.
Just as the two were happily barbecued on the hill, night was quietly falling in the valley.
There are no street lights in the valley. After dark, the men who worked in the fields during the day go home one after another.
When they heard their wives talking about two strangers coming into the valley during the day, they reflexively thought that it might be the annual sacrifice day again.
Except for the children, almost everyone in the valley knew about the sacrifice.
No one knew when it started, but the magical flower that they revered as a god in the valley suddenly began to wither slowly.
The owner of the valley brought the residents with him and killed all the chickens, ducks and geese they raised at home as offerings. People from the entire valley knelt and worshiped in the Shenhua Temple for a day and a night.
The magical flower continued to wither day by day.
At that time, people in the entire valley began to panic.
Normally, when people have a headache or fever, they go to the Shenhua Temple to pray for a flower petal, then go home and soak it in water and drink it, and they will be cured the next day.
Even if you have a serious illness, eating a few petals of the magical flower can help you live several more years.
If this magical flower really disappears, what will happen to their valley in the future?
Without the protection of the divine flower, can the Divine Flower Valley be passed down peacefully from generation to generation?
Later, it was their valley master who found a way. No one knew where he found the vital plasma.
At this time of year, all you need to do is pour a bowl of plasma on the magical flower, and the magical flower will grow vigorously for a whole year.
Later, rumors gradually spread in the valley that there was a very evil creature living in the back mountain. It was usually asleep and only woke up when the magic flower withered.
When it wakes up, a living person must be sacrificed. After eating a living person, this ferocious beast will voluntarily leave a bowl of blood plasma.
This plasma is what the village chief uses to water the sacred flowers.
Over the years, no one had disappeared inexplicably in the valley, so everyone thought with peace of mind that feeding living people to the beasts was just a rumor.
Until a few years ago, a few college students came to the valley, saying they were here to travel and sketch. At first, no one paid much attention to these students, and some valley residents even opposed their arrival.
However, the owner of the valley went against his usual behavior and immediately agreed to let them enter the valley for fun.
Later, everyone heard that these college students came to steal the magical flowers in their valley.
Anyway, these students disappeared within a few days.
The valley master said that they were caught stealing the divine flower and had been driven out of the Divine Flower Valley.
This time there were two more hikers outside, and the attitude of the Valley Master was very strange. He actually let them go into the back mountain again!
Everyone in the valley knew that since the beast appeared, the mountain behind had become an altar in the valley. Anyone who entered at night would be regarded as a sacrifice by the beast.
It seems that those two people are in great danger.
Everyone was eating quietly at home. They couldn’t and shouldn’t control these things.
The valley master and several managers in the valley had no other options, as they were concerned about the survival of everyone in the valley.
The owner of the valley and his family were also having dinner at this time. The eldest daughter came back with her son-in-law and grandson.
The Valley Master said these words of disdain, but he was very happy in his heart.
He has two daughters and his wife died when the children were young.
The two children were basically raised by the valley master himself.
Ten years ago, his eldest daughter's stubbornness deeply hurt the old father's heart. Now his youngest daughter Liu Jingyin has grown up and is about to reach the age to find a husband.
In order to prevent his second daughter from repeating the mistakes of her elder sister, the owner of the valley has never allowed Liu Jingyin to leave the valley.
The four dishes and one soup in the evening were all made by his second daughter.
She was very happy that her sister came back, especially because her sister told her a lot about people and things outside.
He also gave her a few beautiful dresses, which made this sister, who hadn't left the valley for more than ten years, very happy!
Liu Jingyin had never seen such a beautiful skirt. Girls in the valley had to learn how to make coarse cloth clothes from adults since childhood. Every household here wore that kind of azure blue coarse cloth clothes.
Not only was it rough, it wasn't pretty at all! After listening to her sister's description of life outside one day, Liu Jingyin was always eager to find a chance to go out with her sister to see the world.
"Come! Eat some food! Zhihong! Don't be polite! There's nothing good to offer in the countryside, but we can fill our stomachs!"
The owner of the valley looked at his foreign son-in-law, who was fair-skinned, well-educated, and respectful to him. After a day of getting along with him, he became more and more satisfied with him.
"Dad! I toast to you! We are back this time and we will not be leaving anytime soon. Let me and Hanyan treat you well!"
Fang Zhihong was working in real estate sales before the natural disaster, and his words are sweeter than honey.
As soon as he said this, the Valley Master almost burst into tears.
The two daughters were even happier seeing this happy family scene. Only the seven-year-old grandson was gnawing on a chicken leg by himself, eating it voraciously.
