Chapter 236: Spring Outing Disaster



As the saying goes, words once spoken cannot be taken back. Since the promise has been made, if I go back on my word, Yingchun will surely cause trouble again. So let it go.

I could only hug Yunwen tightly and said, "Okay, you must protect yourself and don't play around. You have a soft personality and always give in to others. Be careful not to indulge Song Yingchun outside. If she doesn't listen, just scare her. Don't go along with her or listen to her. Just go out for a ride and come back soon, okay?"

Yunwen nodded and looked at me with a grin, seemingly a little silly. I didn't know whether she heard my instructions clearly or not.

The next day was New Year's Eve, so we did basically the same thing as yesterday, and used plant dyeing. We got two or three pages of paper, and dyed them repeatedly with water from madder root to make them red. After drying, Yunwen used a brush she made herself, using black charcoal and a little water, and repeatedly grinding it. This can barely be considered carbon ink. Yunwen used it to write "Fu" on the dried red paper, and made five sheets.

Use the leftover cowhide from making clothes repeatedly to boil a block of glue, which can be used as glue after heating with fire. Stick one on each of the two gates at the entrance of the courtyard, one on each of the gates at the entrance of the house, and finally iron another one on the beams and pillars. Stick them all upside down, which means "Fu upside down", meaning good fortune is coming.

After doing all this, the house looks much more festive. At least from the style point of view, there is still a bit of New Year atmosphere.

However, although these external forms were taken care of, internal problems still existed. First, after Yingchun came down to eat, she hid back in her little room. Bailu worked hard to prepare food all night, but after eating a few bites, she felt that her sister was too lonely spending New Year's Eve alone, so she apologized to Yunwen and me, then put some food on a silver plate and went upstairs, leaving Yunwen and me alone to celebrate the holiday.

Well, it's already God's blessing that I don't have any big troubles. Nothing in the world is perfect.

But this also gave Yunwen and I a chance to celebrate the holiday alone. It was the first time for us to spend a holiday together on a deserted island, so we were very happy. Yunwen said that in ancient times, during festive occasions, princes and nobles would have dancers and actors perform in the palace to entertain the guests. Tonight she wanted me to feel the treatment of princes and dukes.

So she asked me to sit on the chair while she danced gracefully beside the campfire. How could I just sit there and watch such a wonderful dance? Since I was treated as a prince, I had to have some wine and minced meat. It was a great enjoyment to watch such a beautiful figure. There happened to be half a cup of aged wine in the metal cup, so I poured some out into the sterling silver wine pot. In order to save money, I added some water, but it couldn't cover up the aroma of the wine.

While sipping wine, eating delicious food, and looking at Yunwen's perfect figure and dancing posture, I seemed to see Yang Guifei dancing drunk in a trance. Although there was no music around me, I seemed to automatically make up a piece of fairy music in my mind. I saw her body and her shadow beside the campfire as if two people were dancing together, sometimes her movements were lingering, sometimes wild and powerful, sometimes she was like a beautiful girl next door, and sometimes she was steady and noble. Her indescribable tenderness and endless seductive words made my heart beat fast.

As the saying goes, "It's not wine that makes people drunk, it's people who make themselves drunk; flowers are not charming, it's people who make themselves charming." This wine is intoxicating, and the dance is intoxicating. Unconsciously, I have already had several cups, and after Yunwen's dance, I was a little confused. I still felt that I had not yet satisfied, but my eyes were already blurred, and I could only see Yunwen as a double image.

Yunwen rushed over, supported me, and called my name, but I could only hear vague sounds. My face was very hot, and before I knew it, I had fallen down and lost consciousness.

The beautiful scene was still lingering in the dream. I saw Yunwen, charming and beautiful, with an ethereal aura. She was the fairy from Tianque, so beautiful that she was unparalleled in the world.

Dancing with shadows, it seems like being in the human world...

It was not until I woke up that I realized I had slept until noon in my bed. There was still alcohol in my mouth and my stomach was still churning. Bai Lu walked towards me and poured a cup of tea into a clay bowl. I drank it all and said, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

"It's rare for you to sleep so well. Everyone thinks you work too hard on weekdays. So it's not a bad thing to let you sleep more during the Spring Festival." Bai Lu said.

"How long have you been up? What time is it now?" I asked.

"We have been up for quite some time. It is probably noon now (around 11 o'clock). Yingchun is a little anxious, so she has been riding horses with Yunwen for a while. Because you slept so deeply, she couldn't wait. After dinner, the two of them went out. You won't blame us, right?" Bai Lu asked.

"Noon? They left after breakfast? We usually get up at the morning hour, and after breakfast it's at the latest the evening hour. Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, and Wei, which means they have been out for two hours? About four hours!" I asked hurriedly.

"It's about the same. It's indeed a bit long, but it may be that Yingchun is too playful. It shouldn't be a big deal if they go somewhere far away for a walk. You know, Yingchun has been obedient for a month and has been stuck in the post station for a month. It will definitely take her a while to go out and play and relax. Don't blame her, okay?" Bai Lu asked.

"Bai Lu! This is the wilderness, not your backyard, nor the civilized world. You can't play however you want, don't you understand? Have you forgotten how the ugly mermaid died? She was bitten through the stomach by a group of wild beasts. You are not doing this for her good, you are harming her, don't you know? Besides, she is playful, do you want to drag Yunwen into the water?" I yelled immediately.

After I threatened her like this, Bai Lu immediately became nervous and said at a loss: "What should we do? Should we go out and look for them?"

"You, you should have woken me up immediately if you felt something was wrong. Are you afraid that I would disturb Yingchun's fun or something? If you act like a sister like this, your sister will die a hundred times." I said.

Bai Lu panicked and hurriedly pulled me aside, saying, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I just wanted Yingchun to have more fun. I thought that would make her feel better and she wouldn't get angry at me all the time. I didn't think it through."

"Stop talking about these useless things and go out and find someone!" I said.

She nodded immediately, packed up, and I quickly put the Golden Sword on my waist, held the Youlong dagger tightly in my hand, and prepared to set off. In addition, I thought that it was also my fault. After all, I was greedy for wine and made mistakes. Otherwise, this would never happen. I can't just blame Bai Lu for being selfish.

He put on a bag and put some useful herbs in it, and filled a general's kettle with warm water and put them in the bag. After all, he might have to travel a long distance, so these were all indispensable. There was nothing he could think of in such a hurry, so he just hurried out.

As soon as I went out, I saw that the direction of the horseshoe prints was along the hillside behind me, and I felt relieved. After all, there are relatively fewer threats on the top of the mountain, and I have been there alone many times to pick fruit, and basically nothing happened. If the two girls just lingered there, there would be no need to be so nervous.

There was basically no threat from above. The white demon was trapped in a sealed cave and couldn't get out. Besides, it was not the rainy season. The monster Joseph was killed by me, the virus zombies in the earth bunker were almost burned, the giant wolf spiders were wiped out, and even the piranhas were killed by the mermaids. Therefore, Yunwen was still very obedient and just went to a familiar place.

Now I felt much more relieved, but I had almost seen all the scenery up there. Why did it take so long to play that I still hadn't returned in four or five hours? This time was enough to go back and forth in the mountains twice.

Bai Lu followed me anxiously and asked, "Are they okay? Are we overthinking? Yingchun might have been too thoughtful and dragged sister Yunwen around. They might have been chatting and forgotten the time. Do you think it's possible?"

It was difficult to answer at first, but when I reached the bottom of the wolf spider slope, I shook my head and was able to clearly determine the answer.

"The horse hooves stop here, and instead extend to the right side of the corner, which means they did not go uphill to the top of the Diaolou Mountain, but changed direction. Alas...this is a big trouble!" I frowned and sighed.
