Chapter 98 Mother is still alive?
This morning, Yunli and a few maids cleaned up the small delivery room in her bedroom and planned to use it as a nursery for the two babies.
Otherwise, her bedroom has been occupied for the past few days. There is a tent for three people to keep watch at night, and two baby cots are placed in it. If there are too many people in the bedroom, it will be so messy that there is no place to stand.
So she moved the two baby cribs inside and converted the three-person night watch tent into a bed and moved it to the inner room, so that she would have her own private space.
Sometimes at night, when no one is paying attention, I can go into the space to take a shower or something, because there is a partition blocking it and it can't be seen.
…
A small white bird, light in body and with smooth feathers, flew to the window and flew back and forth happily, but never left. It was Ye Er who caught it and found a small, hard-to-find letter box tied to its little feet.
"Master, there is a carrier pigeon, and I found this on its foot"
Ye Er took the mailbox off the pigeon's foot and handed it to Yun Li.
When I opened the letter, I found it was from Ye Yi. The letter said there was news about Murong Qingling from Lanxi Country. She was still alive and was now the queen of Lanxi Country.
This news was a shock to Yun Li, but beyond the shock, she was also excited and delighted. Her mother was still alive, which was a great blessing after all. She had already prepared for the worst...
After seeing the following content, Yunli's heart started beating wildly again.
Ye Yi said that he tried to get the handwritten letter from her into Murong Qingling's hands, but there was no news. Ye Yi had been living in the Flower City, the capital of Lanxi Kingdom, waiting for the Queen's summons, but after waiting for almost ten days, there was still no news.
In the letter, Ye Yi also said that he was 100% sure that the letter was delivered to Murong Qingling. He was afraid that this trip would be in vain, so he tried to find out the royal painter of the Queen of Lanxi Kingdom and got a portrait of the Queen. He would bring it back when the time comes.
Yun Li's heart sank. Ye Yi naturally believed it. After so many years, there must be many reasons.
If Murong Qingling was still alive, her plan for loving her son would be far-reaching. From Zhao Momo's mouth, we know that Murong Lingqing's love for her is unquestionable, otherwise she would not have traveled thousands of miles, hidden her identity and given birth to her in a strange country.
But since she is still alive, why did they ignore her for more than ten years? If the fierce battle for the throne was out of protection for her at the beginning, it is understandable.
But now Murong Qingling has become the queen, why didn't she contact her, contact Zhao Momo...
This is where the question becomes more and more suspicious. As a doctor, my first reaction is, could it be that she has lost her memory? Can't she remember her?
In the evening, Yunli told Zhao Momo about this matter. Zhao Momo was very happy, but she had the same doubts as Yunli. She had been away from Lanxi Country for nearly 20 years, and she could not remember many things that happened 20 years ago.
In addition, my impression of Murong Qingling's appearance is still stuck in her youth. I am afraid that Murong Qingling's appearance has changed a lot in her middle age.
Zhao Momo's body cannot travel long distances, so she will definitely not be able to go to Lanxi Country with her. She will have to investigate this matter on her own.
Yunli shook her head and said, forget it, don’t think about it for now!
After thinking about it, she decided to take some time to go to Lanxi Country in person.
To go to Lanxi Kingdom, you have to cross the northwest border and pass through the border town of Mocheng in Sangyou Kingdom. The northwest is currently in the midst of war, so it is not safe to go there. You should wait until the war is over before going.
The main reason is that the two children are still too young to travel long distances. Even if they are placed in the space, someone must be watching them.
So she wrote a note with only one line of words on it, asking Ye Yi to come back quickly. Since she couldn't see anyone and couldn't find any information about her life experience, there was no need to waste time staying there.
Yun Li stuffed the note into the mailbox and tied it to the pigeon's leg: "Ye Er, feed the pigeon some food, let it rest for a night, and release it tomorrow morning to deliver the letter to Ye Yi."
"Yes, Master!"
"By the way, Ye Er, how long does it take for this carrier pigeon to deliver the letter to Lan Xi Country?"
Ye Er replied: "This is a carrier pigeon that flies faster. It will take about five days for a one-way trip. Ordinary carrier pigeons take about seven or eight days."
Yun Li touched his chin and thought for a while. Transportation in ancient times was inconvenient and communication was too difficult.
"Is there any bird that can deliver messages faster than this one?"
"Yes! There's a bird called the swift. It has a scissor-shaped tail and is slightly larger than a common carrier pigeon. I've heard it can fly at speeds of several hundred kilometers a day. However, it's said to be quite rare and difficult to catch. Swifts are very human-like, highly alert, and aggressive. Even if you catch one, it's very difficult to tame it. I heard someone once sold one at an auction house. At the time, one bird was worth ten thousand taels of gold, but everyone was fighting over it."
Yun Li immediately became interested in swifts. If she had one, it would be much more convenient for her to send messages. It could travel hundreds of kilometers a day, which would be faster than a modern motorcycle. So she continued to ask, "Where do swifts usually live?"
"There's nothing special about its habitat; it lives in ordinary woods. But due to its scarcity, it's hard to spot it, and catching it is practically impossible."
Yun Li nodded thoughtfully. So she could go for a walk in the bamboo forest tomorrow and try her luck. Maybe she would meet him, right? It wouldn't hurt to go for a walk.
If she could find a swift, she thought taming it wouldn't be a problem, especially for a bird so intelligent and so attuned to human nature! Feeding it with spiritual spring water was good for the human body, and it was certainly good for the bird as well. She fed it a few times, and once the bird's beak had become picky, she wasn't afraid that the swift wouldn't recognize her as its master!
I'm afraid it's just a stupid bird that doesn't know the value of things...
"Okay, go settle the pigeon down first and feed it water from the kitchen vat!"
"Yes! Master!"
The water in the big vat in the kitchen is the spiritual spring water she mixed. During this period, this large group of people have been using the water in it for eating and drinking every day. Drinking spiritual spring water for a long time has many benefits. It can also improve the physical fitness of the Night Meiwei and strengthen their internal strength!
Cherry drinkers often drink to strengthen their bodies and avoid getting sick! Everyone is good, and she is the ultimate beneficiary. Why not do it?
…
The next morning, Yunli got up and fed the child first, then changed into light clothes and went to the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is so big that it feels like the whole mountain is covered with bamboo forest. She has not yet gone deep into the bamboo forest.
She just thought of it as an adventure. There was nothing to be afraid of during the day. She applied mosquito and snake repellent on her body, so not even a small insect came close to her along the way.
Climbing deep into the bamboo forest, she looked up with a telescope. The bamboos were so tall that they blocked out the sun. The sounds of insects and birds were heard all along the way, but she didn't see a single bird.
…
She wandered around in the bamboo forest for most of the day, but didn't see any birds. Instead, she picked a lot of Chinese herbs along the way. She dug up the commonly used herbs and prepared to plant them in the space.
When the time comes, use spiritual spring water to water it, won’t the medicinal properties be better!
Until the afternoon, she did not walk out of the bamboo forest. She felt that the bamboo forest was as big as the whole mountain. If there were no marks along the way, she would have felt that she was lost. She also had lunch in the bamboo forest, using the self-heating rice from the space.
It had been a long time since she had tasted this. The bland taste of ancient food made her miss modern technology and hard work. This was delicious...
She planned to look for it before dark. She was not afraid of getting lost. When she came, she told Ye Er that if she got lost, she would send out a signal flare, and he would then follow the direction of the signal flare to look for her.
…
As night fell, she felt she could no longer stay in the bamboo forest and prepared to return according to the marks she had made along the way.
As she was walking, how come the markings disappeared? She walked around but couldn't find any. She backtracked a bit and couldn't find any markings either. She walked around and around and felt like she was just going in circles. There were no markings within a three-kilometer radius.
So she planned to send a signal to Ye Er. Just as she took out the signal flare, she heard something behind her making a "chi...chi...chi..." sound.
So I went back to look for it, took out a strong flashlight from the space, and the source of the sound seemed to be on a tree.
In the bamboo forest behind her, there was only a small tree that was not very tall and was surrounded by bamboos. The trunk of the tree was as thick as an adult's thigh, and it looked out of place in the bamboo forest. She had been in the bamboo forest for a whole day and had not seen any other trees except bamboos. This tree was a lucky escape.
As I got closer to the small tree, the chirping sound became clearer. I stood there and observed that there seemed to be a bird's nest where the branches forked. The leaves of this tree were very large and dense. If I didn't pay attention, I really couldn't see the bird's nest. The bird's nest was covered by large leaves.
"Could it be a swift?" Yun Li murmured, but then she thought it was impossible. Judging from the sound, there were clearly several birds in the bird's nest... What was she fantasizing about?
Swifts are so rare. I walked around all day and didn't see a single bird, let alone a swift. She's crazy to imagine a nest of swifts.
Forget it. I'm afraid that standing under the tree and firing flares will scare the nest of birds. They built this nest with great effort... I don't want her to destroy it. Ever since I released my old mother, my heart has been so soft.
So she raised her legs and prepared to walk to the front to shoot Ye Er. After a few steps, driven by curiosity, she decided to take a ladder from the space and climb up to see
It doesn't cost anything to take a look, right? What if it is? Isn't that better than winning the lottery? Come and take a look.
Tsk tsk ~ I still didn't give up, so I took out a folding and telescopic ladder from the space, leaned it against the tree, replaced the flashlight with a headlight, afraid of disturbing the birds, stepped lightly, and climbed up slowly
When she climbed up and saw the situation in the bird's nest, she was shocked! Her mouth was open like an egg and she couldn't speak.
There are two little birds in the nest, the size of a palm, with feathers still clumped together, sticking to their bodies, not yet spread out, looking like they were just born. One bird opened its mouth with high spirits, and the other one half-lying in the nest watching her with its wings spread out in front of its belly.
The tails are long, thin and scissor-shaped. One is silver-gray and the other is gray and white, very similar to modern swallows. Isn't this the swift described by Ye Er!
She quickly covered her mouth, fearing that she would scream excitedly and disturb them...
When she gave birth to twins, she was never so excited to see both of them, not even in her entire life.
After observing for a while, I determined that the two little birds were just born and probably couldn't fly yet. Otherwise, why would they stare at her for so long in the nest? If they could fly, they would have run away long ago.
The mother bird probably went out to hunt for food for the two little ones! Realizing this, she decided not to leave and planned to wait in front of the bird's nest.
To show her friendship, she took out the spiritual spring water from the space, and like a magic trick, she took out a small bowl, poured the spiritual spring water into the bowl, and placed it between the two swifts.
As soon as I released it, the two birds rushed to drink. I wonder what swifts eat? Insects? Or grains? Or nuts?
Forget it, she still had to go down to the field to look for insects. She took out a bag of corn kernels, some millet, and some nuts from the space, poured them into her hands, and held them in front of the two birds, letting them choose.
The two swifts actually looked at each other, and then one ate millet and the other ate nuts.
After eating and drinking, Yunli gently held their bird's nest in her arms. She couldn't stand on the ladder all the time, her legs were numb from all the use! She decided to go down and wait for the swifts under the tree.
If she just took the other person's two children away, it would be a bit unfair. She couldn't do such a thing as stealing birds. What's more, she wanted to tame the swifts.
I didn’t expect this trip to be a dream come true! It’s rare to see a swift, but she suddenly had three of them.
Ah...ah...ah...I am really cheering and jumping for joy in my heart. I am so ecstatic.
After waiting for more than an hour, there was movement in the bamboo forest. Although it was dark, she had a premonition of danger and realized that something was approaching her quickly.
She put the bird's nest into the space. No matter what, she had to protect these two birds first.
When she looked up again, a large bird was descending at a rapid speed and was attacking her aggressively.
The sound of "Wow...Wow...Wow..." is like a crow, so unpleasant, and the sound is so rough and loud.
When Yunli saw clearly, she realized that the bird was none other than the mother of the two swifts, the great swift! So she was ecstatic and showed her goodwill to the swifts.
But the swift ignored her overtures and continued to attack her, preparing to peck her face with its sharp beak.
But she couldn't hurt the swift, so she fled in a hurry. Yun Li took the bird's nest out of the space and held it in her arms.
Show the bird's nest to the swift and tell her that the two little birds are still there and she did not hurt them.
The two little birds in the bird's nest saw the swifts and fluttered their wings happily.
Yun Li felt that her mouth was covered with bird feathers and dust, so she quickly placed the small bowl of spiritual spring water between them to attract the attention of the two birds.
Seeing the spiritual spring water, the two little birds immediately calmed down and lowered their heads to drink it.
Even the swift screamed to stop them, but the two little birds ignored her.
Yun Li stretched out her palms to let Dayun see her magic tricks, and then she took out a bowl filled with spiritual spring water and motioned Dayun to drink.
After hesitating for a moment, the big swift looked at the two little ones, then looked at the water in the bowl, lowered its head and drank it.
