Zou Yuxing searched for a full hour, his legs ached, and his face was almost numb from the wind, but he still couldn't see any purple color.
He was anxious, and his pace quickened unconsciously. Even though it was a flat area, he deliberately fell straight down with half his left foot and half his right foot, making intimate contact with the ground.
If it were a concrete surface in the city, this blow would have nearly killed Zou Yuxing. But the grass was soft and had a certain cushioning effect. Zou Yuxing didn't feel the pain at first; instead, he was afraid of being seen and hurriedly tried to get up.
But just as he exerted himself, a concerned voice came from above, "Are you alright?"
Zou Yuxing paused, looked up incredulously, and found Wen Feiran standing upside down in front of him.
"..."
Not only was he caught, but it was by someone he knew. Zou Yuxing felt extremely embarrassed and wished he could disappear into the ground. But that was obviously impossible. After a few more seconds of awkward silence, Zou Yuxing naturally rolled over, propped his head up with his hand, and moved with great ease, as if he were just lying on the ground resting.
"Feiran, didn't we choose different paths? What are you doing here?"
Wen Feiran had a history of getting lost and didn't trust himself. He stared at the compass, his tone still uncertain, "I shouldn't have gone the wrong way. I've been following the compass in a straight line."
Then there's only one answer left: he's the one who went astray.
Zou Yuxing a dry laugh, still trying to sound tough, "I just forgot, I came here specifically to find you."
Wen Feiran looked at him, hesitant to speak, "Why have you been lying on the ground?"
Zou Yuxing couldn't help but complain, "I'm so tired from walking, and I still haven't found the legendary flower. What if it's not here?"
Hearing this, Wen Feiran's eyes crinkled with laughter, her voice brimming with excitement, "I found it! It's not much, but there's a small piece."
"What?!" Zou Yuxing jumped up excitedly from the ground. Although he was quite surprised, he felt more like, "I knew it."
"I knew you'd find it. I should have just followed you; otherwise, we wouldn't have wasted so much time and effort."
Zou Yuxing has no sense of direction, which is why he unconsciously went astray and took a long detour to find Wen Feiran. But at this moment, he didn't feel that it was his own problem, but rather that he was guided by the gods. He was destined to find this flower with Wen Feiran and witness this moment.
"Where are the flowers?" Zou Yuxing excitedly shoved his head in front of Wen Feiran.
Wen Feiran shielded her face with her hand, laughing as she dodged twice, "On the left."
Zou Yuxing immediately ran over, and was speechless with shock when he saw the sea of flowers.
Wen Feiran is still too conservative. This is not a small area at all; it could supply all the Divine Flowers needed by all the herders!
Wen Feiran took out her phone to contact the others and found that none of them had found flowers. Upon hearing this good news, they all rushed over.
When Su Shangting ran over, panting, he saw Zou Yuxing, that silly deer, sitting next to him, holding a bouquet of flowers and grinning foolishly.
He immediately rolled his eyes before turning to Wen Feiran, "Feiran, you're amazing! I knew you'd find it!"
Wen Feiran smiled sheepishly, "It was just a coincidence; I was just lucky."
After he finished speaking, he was stunned, feeling that this kind of conversation had been repeated many times before.
They spent a whole day going up and down the mountain, and when they returned to the cabin, everyone was exhausted, but their eyes were bright, and they were so excited that they wanted to have a big party.
The local herders came to give them birds that were called "Divine Messenger." When they saw that each of them was holding a bouquet of Divine Flowers, they were amazed and mumbled a lot of words that the herders couldn't understand.
Wen Feiran and the others looked bewildered and could only turn to Zou Yuxing, who was familiar with the local herders, for help. "Can you understand what they're talking about?"
Zou Yuxing earnestly, "I'll give it a try."
He also spoke in a language that was difficult to understand, gesturing wildly. The local herders listened attentively for a while, nodding frequently and adding their own gestures.
The two became more and more excited as they chatted, and finally looked at each other and burst into laughter in tacit understanding. Zou Yuxing then pointed to Wen Feiran next to him, and the herdsman's expression turned serious. He suddenly walked up to Wen Feiran and shook hands with him.
Wen Feiran smiled and cooperated fully. Only after the herdsman had walked away did he lower his voice and ask, "What did you talk about with him just now? Why did he shake hands with me?"
"I told him we just went up the mountain, Wen Feiran, you found a sea of flowers. I gave him the approximate location, and he shook your hand, probably to express his gratitude."
Wen Feiran nodded repeatedly, looking at Zou Yuxing with admiration, "You have such a talent for languages! You learned their language after only chatting with them a few times and can communicate fluently. This is something not everyone can do; at least I can't do it at all."
Zou Yuxing blinked, looking even more bewildered than him. "How could that be? I'm not a genius. I couldn't understand what they were talking about either. What I said just now was just nonsense."
Wen Feiran: "..."
Everyone: "..."
There was a five-second silence before Wen Feiran struggled to find her voice, "So how did you communicate with him? You were both nodding, clearly understanding what he meant?"
"We are all one family. As long as he's my good buddy, he can roughly understand what I mean just by gesturing. It's that simple!"
"..."
He really wanted to send Zou Yuxing to the "Pictionary" competition; he was sure he'd win first place.
No one knows what Zou Yuxing communicated with the herdsmen, but in the following days, herdsmen kept coming to see them. Although they couldn't communicate in the same language, with Zou Yuxing as their social ambassador, they miraculously maintained a connection. Every herdsman shook hands with Wen Feiran and gave him something.
