"Yiyi, a force twelve typhoon is expected to make landfall tomorrow night, and the winds seem to be increasing. Although tomorrow isn't a good day to leave, the flower snake fruit on Mount Taifeng, 30 to 40 kilometers outside Beijing, can't wait."
"Its ripening period is only three days, and tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow is when it will be ripe. You must pick it within three days of it being ripe."
"If you miss this one, you won't be so lucky to find the next one. Not only will there be no ripe fruits within a month, but the nearest one is 800 kilometers away from the capital."
Xu Jinyi exclaimed in her heart: "The Flower Snake Fruit is so rare?!"
"Otherwise, why would the flower snake become extinct? All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and if the flower snake is about to become extinct, how long will the flower snake fruit last? So I suggest that you leave as soon as possible, Yiyi."
"In case a typhoon comes and you can't leave, when you get to Taifeng Mountain, find a cave to shelter from the typhoon first. Then wait for the fruits to ripen and find a safe time to pick them within three days."
"Or, you can leave now to prevent the typhoon from arriving early."
Xu Jinyi:!!!
Looking at the still dark sky, Xu Jinyi said to Han Ting: "Brother, the herbs we want to pick can't wait. If we miss their ripening period, Xinyue will have no herbs left, so we must set out early tomorrow morning."
"A storm is coming, so we should be more prepared. Bring a few more sets of clothes, and ask the housekeeper to pack more things."
Han Ting naturally agreed. After all, Xinyue was his only blood relative in this world.
"It's still a few hours before dawn. I'll have someone bring you some ice. You can sleep a little longer."
It was difficult for Xu Jinyi to fall asleep again after waking up, but she did not refuse, in case she said she didn't want to sleep, Han Ting would accompany her instead of doing his own things.
The typhoon was above level 12, and the place they were going to was still in the mountains, so Xu Jinyi did not dare to be careless.
After all, when a typhoon enters the mountains, there are more dangers.
You may encounter landslides, mudslides, or fallen trees at any time.
So Xu Jinyi, who hadn't slept yet, also started packing, and packed a few more sets of clothes, so that at least they would have something to change into if they got wet.
Then bring a long rope, which might be useful for picking herbs.
After all, she wanted to pick more than just one flower snake fruit. According to Xiaoqi's description, other medicinal herbs could all be found in Taifeng Mountain.
Then there were some healing medicines, poisoned silver needles for self-defense, and daggers...
The weather changed quietly. The gloomy weather suddenly turned into a strong wind, and the fallen leaves in the yard were spinning in the air.
Seeing this scene, Xu Jinyi's heart sank, and he always felt that he had a bad premonition.
But as the day dawned, Xu Jinyi and the others set off as scheduled.
They didn't bring many people with them, just two people and a driver, and left the capital in an ordinary carriage.
After all, he is the regent. If others know his whereabouts, the danger of this trip will not be a typhoon, but waves of assassinations.
The two of them sat in the carriage. Xu Jinyi looked through the gauze window at the trees swaying in the wind outside, and at the gloomy sky, hoping that the fish would come out later.
It’s best to wait until they find a place to stay in Taifeng Mountain before going down.
"If it's thirty or forty kilometers, how long will it take to get there?" Xu Jinyi asked.
"At this rate, it should take all morning."
Xu Jinyi frowned and asked the driver to speed up, regardless of the bumps, and to go as fast as possible.
As the carriage accelerated, Xu Jinyi swayed from side to side in the carriage, almost unable to keep his balance.
Han Ting simply held the person in his arms, but Xu Jinyi, who had just finished breakfast, still couldn't stand such bumps and felt like he was about to vomit his breakfast.
“Stop, stop, stop.”
"Brother, why don't we just go there on horseback? Maybe it'll be faster and we can arrive before the rainstorm."
So the two men hung all their luggage on the horse's back, untied the tied carriage, left some silver to the coachman, and rode away on one horse together.
Xu Jinyi sat in the front, her petite body embraced in Han Ting's arms, her flying hair brushed across his handsome cheeks, the free wind blew, and this moment seemed very romantic.
As the wind and sand flew, Xu Jinyi could hardly open his eyes. He turned his face to the side and buried his head in Han Ting's chest.
"Want to stop and rest for a while?"
Xu Jinyi shook his head: "I can hold on."
The dull thunder in the sky made Xu Jinyi dare not stop to rest. It would be troublesome if it rained on the way.
Half an hour later, Xu Jinyi, with a frown on his face, finally couldn't stand it anymore and called a halt.
"I'll help you down and we'll adjourn."
Xu Jinyi: "No, no need to rest. I'm not tired, but my legs hurt from sitting like this. I want to sit sideways. Brother, hold me and don't let me fall."
Han Ting saw her rubbing her legs and realized that they might be injured, so he put his arms around her waist and lifted her up into the air, letting her sit sideways in front of him.
I had been lying on the horse with my legs stretched out, and they were already sore and painful. This made me feel a lot more relaxed.
"Brother, let's go."
It's already dawn. The sun was out at this time yesterday, but it's getting darker today.
It didn't look like dawn was coming, but rather night was falling. Xu Jinyi always felt that a storm was coming.
There is no place to hide from the storm along the way, and there are no tea houses or estates. There are only forests on both sides.
So if it rains heavily at this time, they will be in trouble.
The two did not dare to stop, and fortunately, God was kind to them, and they arrived at Taifeng Mountain safely along the way.
However, Xu Jinyi's heart was in his throat when he saw the strong wind, the shaking trees, the flashing lightning, and the deafening thunder.
"Xiao Qi, besides going up the mountain, is there any place nearby to hide from the rain?"
As soon as the question was asked, a big drop of rain fell.
Even before Xiao Qi answered, Han Ting responded first. He immediately grabbed the bag and dragged Xu Jinyi up the mountain.
Xiaoqi also gave her an answer, asking her to go up the mountain because there was no place nearby where she could hide from the rain.
As the merciless rain fell, the two of them were soaked after just a few steps.
The wind was very strong and the rain hurt when it hit my face. I couldn't open my eyes and couldn't see the road in front of me.
Xu Jinyi could only squint his eyes and follow Han Ting blindly.
"Brother, do you know where we can take shelter from the rain?"
The thunder rumbled so loudly that even Xu Jinyi felt scared.
Especially when flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, Xu Jinyi became even more worried.
At this time, I was under a tree and was soaked all over. If I was struck by lightning, I would really have to meet the King of Hell.
"Just a few hundred meters ahead. There's a cave where you can take shelter."
Before Xu Jinyi had time to be happy, he stepped into a quagmire and fell down with a thud.
"hiss……"
When you're unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in your teeth. The pain in your feet made Xu Jinyi frown.
Han Ting picked the person up by the waist with a distressed look on his face. "Are you okay? It's hard to practice Qinggong here. The trees are too dense. I'll carry you."
