Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er returned to the small inn from the oasis. The two of them seemed to have recovered. Their faces were radiant as they swept away the haze from the past few days.

Zhao Ling’er wrote a long letter to Zhao Zhouwu, explaining his thoughts in detail. The letter stated everything clearly, and sent the two followers back to report.

After walking for a short while, Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er also left the inn and headed towards the west.

The two of them had arrived at a small village that was quite lively. In the village, there were a few people sitting in groups of twos and threes. Those people had extremely lazy expressions as they leisurely sat there.

Some of them held a pipe in their hands and the pipe in their hands was extremely long. After smoking a few times, they passed the pipe to the people beside them. The few of them took turns to smoke the grass cigarettes they planted.

There were also some people who were holding large bowls and drinking wine together. Since there was nothing to drink by their side, they just ate some melon fruits.

When they saw Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er passing by, their faces were filled with curiosity.

There was a large road in the middle of the village with residents scattered on both sides. The village was in a good location. There were some trees in the mountain and there were clear springs. The villagers dug a few wells for the residents to drink.

Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er passed by them, and saw a few men and children around them, but not a single woman was in sight. Perhaps it was due to the people's influence that these women would not leave their homes easily when they reached adulthood.

Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er were also a little tired along the way. It was rare for them to encounter such a place with many people, so they thought that it would be better to stay for the night to understand the local people's situation.

Zhao Ling’er said: "Big brother Yang, how about we go down and take a look?"

The two of them communicated with each other and dismounted from their horses.

The two saw that there was a family not too far away that was relatively larger in comparison to the other houses, so they decided to stay there for the night.

Yang Ming walked up and lightly knocked a few times on the door. Although he could hear movement inside, but no one came out to open the door, Yang Ming was surprised.

When the crowd sitting in the corner saw Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er dismount from their horses, they began to discuss among themselves.

A man stood up from the crowd and spoke to Yang Ming in a loud voice: "Hero, what business do you have with me?"

This man looked to be in his twenties. He was tall and sturdy with his upper body exposed. The muscles on his body were muscular and well-built. The muscles on his body protruded out one after another. His stock was somewhat dark.

Yang Ming replied: "This young brother, my wife and I have been through this place for a while, hoping to find a good place. Seeing that this house is a bit more spacious, I decided to go and disturb you a bit!"

The man said, "This big brother did find the wrong door. Although this room is large, there are a lot of people living inside. If the two of you go, their home won't be able to receive you."

Zhao Ling’er was also infected by their simplicity, "This little brother, what did you mean just now? I clearly saw that this house is extremely large, so the people in the family must have accumulated some knowledge! "

The man said, "Madam is right. It's a pity that this family is so prosperous. As such, this small inheritance is not worth mentioning!"

Zhao Ling’er couldn't help but blush after being addressed as Madam. Just now, Yang Ming had also told everyone that he was his wife. Zhao Ling’er was both happy and shy.

The man said, "How about you two come to my house as guests? This little brother's home only has the old mother and this humble one. Since there have been no guests in the house for a long time, my mother will definitely be extremely happy! "

Yang Ming glanced at Zhao Ling’er, "This brother is so hospitable, it's better to obey than to refuse. I wonder what little brother's name is?"

The man smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, big brother. You can just call me Liu Zi from now on. What is big brother's surname?"

Yang Ming chuckled: "My surname is Yang!"

"Okay, big brother Yang, elder sister-in-law Yang, please settle down at my home. I will then take you two for a walk!"

Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er thanked these six children and followed him.

According to the sixth son, this place was called the "Two Flowers". Rumor has it that during the ancient times, there were people living here. Because there was a strange flower here, there were only two flowers per plant, and one of them was red and the other was blue.

The sixth son lived on a mountainside. There were only two run-down cottages in the house, and the sixth son and his mother each had one.

His sixth mother looked to be over sixty years old, and her eyes could not clearly see her surroundings. However, she moved freely within the house. It was likely that she was extremely familiar with the objects in the house.

This old man claimed to be of the Crimsonian race and had long forgotten his last name. Others would call her Grandma.

Zhao Ling’er held onto the old granny's hand: "Granny, I've come to disturb you all today, but I feel uneasy. Here is some money, keep it properly.

The old granny pushed for a while, but was unable to get ahold of Zhao Ling’er, and kept it.

Yang Ming and the sixth son looked at each other and laughed, "Big brother Yang, there is no need to be so courteous. How can the two of you spend money on this simple and crude place like this?"

Yang Ming laughed: "This is just a pair of filial piety, you don't have to be so polite, Sixth Brother!"

Liu Zi cleaned up the room and prepared a place for Zhao Ling’er to sleep, "Please forgive me Madam, this is a small place, please forgive me!"

Zhao Ling’er's face did not reveal even a trace of disdain, but was full of joy. To be able to stay here for the night and experience different things was a good thing, moreover, with big brother Yang by his side, it was already enough.

The sixth son smiled at Yang Ming: "Big brother Yang, you sleep on my bed. I will tidy up a bit at night and put some soft grass on top of it, it is also very comfortable."

The sixth son was extremely enthusiastic, and the mother-in-law was even more hospitable. The two of them cooked all the delicious dishes in the house and brought them up to the table.

Grandma said, "This wild chicken was beaten up by my six sons last year. I've always been reluctant to eat it, but today, two noblemen have come. Please do not despise us country folk. We are lacking in manners and have neglected you!"

Zhao Ling’er held Grandma's hand and laughed, "Grandma, you've cooked so much delicious food, I'm about to drool."

This Zhao Ling’er was really funny, not long later, he started to get closer to the old granny.

Grandma laughed, "Your husband must be a dragon amongst men to be able to marry such a beautiful woman like you. It is such a good fortune. Granny is also very happy to see you."

"My sixth son just foolishly stayed outside the whole day. He didn't know that he would find a good girl to come back to and have a companion with my blind mother-in-law. This matter always makes me feel uneasy. This child … he's a good person, but he's too honest and doesn't have any girls in his heart."

Zhao Ling’er laughed: "Grandma, don't worry, this Liu Zi looks like a hero and is a good person. I wonder how many girls like him in the dark? "It's just that he's too embarrassed to tell you, mother-in-law."

The sixth son also had a red face and was giggling foolishly.

"This silly son of mine isn't as good as you say. If he really did marry a wife, even if I die, I would still laugh." The mother-in-law laughed.

"Mother, how can you talk to this Madam like this? Don't talk about death, it sounds like anger!" Liu Zi hurriedly stopped her.

This kind of heavenly joy was truly pleasing, the granny even cooked a few unique dishes for Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er, all of them were special dishes on the mountain, there were even some fresh vegetables, the two of them ate with relish, and gasped in admiration.

It was getting dark in the small village. After they finished their meal, it was already late.

Yang Ming said to Yue Yang, "I will accompany my wife for a walk, and I will return by myself later. Please rest assured, little brother!"

The sixth son said, "Big brother Yang, don't be so polite, just call me Sixth-son from now on. We don't have anyone coming out tonight, so you should take a look around. Come back early and rest. We'll play tomorrow."

Yang Ming exchanged a few words with Zhao Ling’er, his mother-in-law and his son, before walking out hand in hand.

When the two flowers arrived at night, it was just as Liu Zizi had said. The surroundings were very quiet. They had been here for quite some time, but they had yet to see a single adult female passing by. It was indeed a strange thing.

The night scenery of the village was actually quite beautiful. There were faint lights shining from every point of the night sky. A few floating trees on the other side of the mountain were swaying. From afar, it looked like a beautiful scenery.

Zhao Ling’er snuggled close to Yang Ming's side, "Big Brother Yang, why did you introduce me to others just now? I'm your wife."

Yang Ming patted Zhao Ling’er's small hands, "We are out, if we do not call each other husband and wife, we would be afraid of being bullied. We can take care of each other in this way and not arouse the suspicion of others, Ling'er, are you not happy by the way I speak of it?"

How could Zhao Ling’er not be happy? She raised her head, and the smile on her face could not help but burst out laughing, "Look how nervous you are, if there comes a day I really marry you, what will happen to you?"

Yang Ming chuckled: "Silly child, why are you bringing up this matter again? "Big brother Yang promised you that he will not let down your relationship, and will also tell you the truest feeling in your heart. There are some things, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

Zhao Ling’er nodded, and stuck to Yang Ming's side.

Yang Ming felt that his treatment of Zhao Ling’er now was a bit too much. He hadn't given her a real promise, and even if she followed him like this, he wouldn't be able to reject her.

Yang Ming was a little unsure of why he was like this. This woman was truly too pitiful. Her temperament was like water, her personality was gentle and her beauty was beautiful, but everything was so perfect.

Song Qing's figure also appeared. The two of them were completely different people, both of them were so beautiful, both of them were so lovable, and Song Qing was someone that she would never, ever be able to touch, yet Zhao Ling’er was right in front of her.

Perhaps it was because they had grown up together, or perhaps it was because Song Qing had always cared for him, but in his life, she was the only woman who cared for him, the only woman he had ever cared for. The love he had for her was not only the feelings of a man and a woman, but also the love he had for her.

This kind of connection between the flesh and blood was naturally unparalleled by outsiders.

Even if Zou Ling'er was in danger, he would definitely give up his life to save her. If it was Song Qing, not only would he give up his life, he would also feel a heart-wrenching pain.

Whether you love someone or not depends on how you feel about your heart. If there is pain like that, you can truly understand your heart.

The two of them followed the two flowers and walked around. It was late in the night, so Yang Ming took Zhao Ling’er back to his sixth son's home.

Grandma had already been waiting at home for a long time, and was especially happy when she saw that Zhao Ling’er had returned. She had already prepared hot water for the two of them to clean up, and Liu Zi even found some incense to prevent the mosquitoes from biting him.

The two of them slept soundly through the night. This place gave them a sense of home, and they were even closer to their mother-in-law and sixth son.

When he woke up, Zhao Ling’er found that the room was empty everywhere. There was no one in the room, he didn't know where the mother-in-law's sixth son had gone to, and he didn't see Yang Ming's figure.

Zhao Ling’er stretched, it had really been a long time since he had such a sweet sleep, although the bedding here was not as comfortable as the rattan garden, but the feeling of home was still faint.

The granny woke up early in the morning and went to some of the households in the village to show off the silver Zhao Ling’er had gifted her. She also found some good food from the villagers to entertain Zhao Ling’er.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was so happy, the villagers were also unwilling to go against her wishes. Thus, they gave her some fresh vegetables and some wild game from home.

As for the six children, they accompanied Yang Ming to look around the vicinity and also came back to catch some prey.

Zhao Ling’er sat alone at home for a while, feeling bored, he picked up the broom and swept it on the ground.

This was the first time Zhao Ling’er had swept the floor since she was young. She had to spend a lot of time to clean up the room.

Hearing the laughter of Yang Ming and the six children coming from afar, Zhao Ling’er ran to the door, "Big Brother Yang, where did you go?"

Yang Ming saw that the young miss was a little unhappy, "Silly child, I just wanted to let you sleep for a while, I didn't want to disturb you. Last night, after you went to sleep, Liu Zi and I were drinking outside the house, talking about some strange things around here, and wanted to bring him to take a look early in the morning.

Yang Ming was not someone who coveted fun, he only thought that Zhao Ling’er would sleep until late in the morning, and since the villagers were so simple and honest, there wouldn't be any dangers, so he was relieved to go out with Liu Zi.

Zhao Ling’er laughed: "I didn't expect my words to scare you, big brother Yang right?"

Yang Ming truly felt that he had let Zhao Ling’er down a little. He gently lifted her face and said, "Ling'er, leaving you alone at home is extremely inappropriate. I'm really sorry.

Seeing the two of them being so affectionate, the sixth son smiled and said, "Big brother Yang and Madam are really close. It has only been a short while, and you already miss me so much. I'm really envious of you!"

Zhao Ling’er's face was flushed red, his expression and words just now were a bit excessive. That Yang Ming had agreed to take care of her, but leaving her occasionally was also within reason. Wasn't her reaction just now too intense, would it make Big Brother Yang disgusted with her? Zhao Ling’er was a little uneasy in his heart.

"Don't stand outside and rest inside. My mother prepared breakfast early in the morning. I've warmed up and brought it up for you." Liu Zi invited the two into the house.

Nanny cooked a pot of porridge with all sorts of side dishes. The congee had a peculiar flavor to it. As it entered her mouth, it had a faint mint fragrance. As she swallowed it, the corner of her mouth still lingered with the fragrance.

After the two of them finished their meal, under the guidance of the sixth son, they went to find the two strange flowers that had two colors.

The story of these two flowers had already made Zhao Ling’er sigh emotionally in his heart. He had long wanted to personally see just how beautiful these flowers were.

In this village of "Two Flowers", there were dozens of families scattered around. Every day, the men would go out to hunt while the women stayed inside.

Occasionally, there would be people from the martial arts world passing by, and there were also bandits among them. During the day, if the men from this place weren't home, then if those with evil intentions were to meet those girls, they would definitely cause some trouble.

As a result, none of the women here dared to go out during the day, and this had gradually become a habit. Even if the men had returned, it was extremely difficult for them to come out, so during yesterday's session, Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er did not see an adult woman who had done the same thing.

According to the six sons, about one or two miles west of the village was a mountain. The dark side of the mountain was covered with these strange flowers, but elsewhere, not a single plant could be seen.

There were also people who brought these flowers back to be planted. However, once they were brought back, the flowers would die soon. It was truly difficult for a master to understand them.

These two flowers were so magical, Yang Ming's heart was also filled with desire, but in his heart, he suddenly thought, if I can bring the flowers back to Qingcheng and give them to Senior Sister, she would definitely be very happy, maybe Senior Sister will have a way to grow the two flowers.

Zhao Ling’er didn't know what Yang Ming was thinking, but he realized that Yang Ming's face was a little strange, and there was even a slight smile on his face.

This kind of laughter was the most heartfelt, the most single, and the happiest. Zhao Ling’er had already noticed this smile a few times, but every time he asked Yang Ming, Yang Ming would change the topic. When would this Big Brother Yang tell him about the things that were on his mind?

Although Yang Ming treated Zhao Ling’er extremely well, Zhao Ling’er still felt that something was missing. Every time Yang Ming looked at him, he would always have that kind of loving expression, without being able to see the passion in his eyes.

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. Zhao Ling’er suppressed the wild guesses in his heart.

Soon, they arrived at the place where the two flowers were planted. The six children led the two as they slowly climbed up. In front of them was a patch of blue mixed with red.

The two of them anxiously went forward, and when Zhao Ling’er hid in the flowers, he revealed half of his face and kept smiling at Yang Ming.

Seeing Zhao Ling’er was happy, Yang Ming also felt happy in his heart. The two flowers looked no different from other flowers, and even though they looked extremely beautiful, but it was hard to tell if there were any differences.

Yang Ming had seen Song Qing fiddling with all kinds of flowers and plants since she was young, and was actually somewhat familiar with this aspect. Yang Ming took a whiff of the flower's fragrance, and there was a faint pungent smell in the air.

Was the legendary two beautiful flowers so mediocre? Yang Ming was a little disappointed in his heart, but he also felt that it was possible that he didn't know anything about flowers that led to such an idea.

"Ling'er, do you think there's anything special about this flower?" Yang Ming asked Zhao Ling’er.

Zhao Ling’er looked at it carefully, "Even though this flower's outer appearance is extremely ordinary, it is in reality a top-notch item in the world. The color of the flower is naturally special, and the flower leaves are also different from normal flowers."

Zhao Ling’er plucked a few leaves and held them in front of Yang Ming: "Look, big brother Yang, these leaves are netted, and there are some that are parallel to each other, and normally speaking, this is because of the plant's habits, there are not only two colors for these flowers, there are also two types of veins, I have never heard of such a thing."

"Also, what's even weirder is that you can smell the fragrance of this flower, right?"

Yang Ming lightly nodded his head and continued: "How can the fragrance of a flower be so pungent? This flower fragrance is to attract insects to pollinate, and this smell will scare away the insects, how does it reproduce? "It really is strange!"

Despite Yang Ming's intelligence, he was unable to comprehend the reason behind it.

Zhao Ling’er laughed: "This question is actually not hard to explain. There must be some strange insects growing nearby, maybe those insects love that stimulating smell."

Yang Ming felt that what Zhao Ling’er said was reasonable, the two went to look around to see if there were any insects moving around.

The sixth son smiled and said, "Why are you two thinking so much? You are just here to enjoy the scenery. There are many things in this world that we cannot explain. In the future, someone will be able to explain everything you just said."

Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er looked at each other and laughed, they too felt that what the sixth son said was reasonable, why would he ruin their good mood? Who cares why these two flowers were so special? Just knowing how special they were was enough to make one gain knowledge and experience. It could also be considered as an increase in the number of things one could talk about on a daily basis.

Although the scent of the flowers was a little special, the more he looked at the flowers, the more he found them beautiful. Yang Ming felt that the flowers were extremely ordinary, but after looking at them a little more, he felt that the differences between the flowers were growing.

The petals were of different shapes and sizes. Some were round, some were prismatic, and some were triangular. They were actually colorful, and when several flowers were placed together, it made one feel that the scene in front of their eyes was extremely beautiful!

The more Zhao Ling’er looked at the flower, the more he felt that the flower was beautiful, but he truly felt that this trip wasn't in vain. Although the flower's outer appearance was ordinary, if one looked at it closely, one would feel that it was filled with many unique flowers, which were completely different from the rest.

Liu Ziyi had seen a lot of flowers, so he could only watch the two from the side.

Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er were wholeheartedly admiring the flowers. It was because Yang Ming had occasionally seen Song Qing's flowers that filled the garden and when he was outside of Qingcheng, it was rare to see such strange flowers.

As a woman, Zhao Ling’er loved flowers very much, and had a lot of insights into flowers. Seeing so many unique aspects of flowers, he was even more intoxicated, naturally wanting to stay here for a while longer.

The three of them had already stayed there for several hours without realizing it. The sixth son was worried about his hunger so he urged the two of them, "Let's go back and have something to eat before we go somewhere else to play, shall we?"

Of the "Two Flowers" village, it was the most peculiar one, and Yang Ming and Zhao Ling’er must have seen it many times before in other places, so they only wanted to have a good time here.

Seeing that the two were in a good mood, the sixth son laughed and said, "Then I'll go back and get some food and wine. The two of you wait for me here, what do you think?"
