Ang Lee was not Emperor Huizong of Song. Of course, he would not imitate Emperor Huizong of Song to create the Outline of Flowers and Stones. Moreover, although the stones in the cave of Gibraltar were very beautiful, there were many beautiful caves like this in the southern mountains of the Tang Empire. So there was no need to transport beautiful stones from Gibraltar. Moreover, the cave here was so big. If it accidentally collapsed, it would be a great loss to Gibraltar.
Another thing was that this was Li Xiaolu's hometown. How could Ang Lee have the heart to destroy the only beautiful cave in her hometown? Wouldn't that be too cruel? Moreover, this would be the territory of the Tang Empire in the future. If the cave was destroyed, it would be destroying the property of the Tang Empire.
Since there was such a beautiful cave here, it must be named. Ang Lee looked at Li Xiaolu and said, "Xiaolu, does this cave have a name?"
Li Xiaolu thought for a moment and replied, "It has a name, it has a name. In the past, monkeys often entered this cave, so the local people call it the Monkey Cave, or the Mountain Cave."
Li Xiaolu did not care much about the name of the cave. It did not matter what it was called. Anyway, the cave was still the same cave.
However, Ang Lee did not think so. A good name had a great meaning. For example, Ang Lee wanted to build a Grand Canal connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, so he named it the Tang Empire's canal. If he named it casually, it would be very bad.
In the future, this cave was called St. Michael's Cave, which was a westernized name. Ang Lee wanted to rename this cave with an oriental name.
Of course, Ang Lee did not know the name of this cave in the future. He only knew that Li Xiaolu called it the Monkey Cave.
"Xiaolu, the dew of dawn. Let's call this cave Xiaolu Cave in the future!"
Ang Lee thought for a long time and said.
This name had many meanings. Firstly, Li Xiaolu was the one who told him about this mountain cave. Calling it Xiaolu was in line with Li An's wishes. Additionally, Xiaolu's name was very nice. The dewdrops of dawn had a very holy feeling. When one woke up early in the morning, the dewdrops on the grass were so clean and soothing. The feeling that the mountain cave gave people was also soothing. Using the word 'Xiaolu' to describe this mountain cave couldn't be more appropriate. Lastly, the Xiaolu Cave could give Li An another indescribable association, which was more in line with Li An's wishes. With these three points added together, it couldn't be more appropriate to name the mountain cave as Xiaolu Cave.
"Is it really okay to use my name to name the Dawn Dew Cave?"
. "Li Xiaolu said shyly.
Li Xiaolu felt a little embarrassed that Ang Lee named the cave after her in the Tang dynasty. Moreover, after following Ang Lee for so long, Li Xiaolu had learned to let her imagination run wild. She would habitually think of some bad things, which was the so-called thinking crooked.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "What's wrong with it? It's settled. This cave will be called Xiaolu Cave in the future. We have to seal this cave. Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter so as not to dirty such a sacred cave."
Since Ang Lee had made up his mind to do so, what else could Li Xiaolu say? She could only nod shyly.
The corners of Li An's mouth curled into a slight smile. Looking at the bashful Li Xiaolu, he said, "Aiya, this Dawn Dew Cave is really beautiful! It's so beautiful. It's so cool in Xiaolu Cave! What a big pool. There's so much water in Xiaolu Cave! Haha! "
Li Xiaolu naturally heard the bad implication. She squinted at Ang Lee and said coquettishly, "Assistant Minister Li, don't say anymore. Let's go up! It's a little too cold here. "
Although she had put on clothes to resist the cold, Li Xiaolu still felt a little cold. She really didn't want to stay in such a cold environment.
Ang Lee didn't mean to leave, because Ang Lee's physique was much better than Li Xiaolu's. Even if he didn't have clothes to resist the cold, Ang Lee wouldn't freeze in the cold lower level of the cave. Moreover, Ang Lee had a bold idea, which was to take a bath in the pool.
Although the temperature of the water in the cave was very low and not very suitable for bathing, Ang Lee felt that the water here was too clean. The water in these caves must be rich in minerals and trace elements. If he could take a bath in it, it would definitely be very good for his body. Maybe it even had nourishing effects?
Of course, with such clean water, it would be better if it was a hot spring. That way, bathing would be more comfortable. But the reality was that there was no hot spring, only cold cave water.
"Assistant Minister Li, why haven't you left yet? It's so cold here!"
Li Xiaolu asked curiously.
Ang Lee smiled slightly. He looked at the soldiers and ordered, "It's very safe here. You guys go up first!"
"Yes, Assistant Minister Li."
The soldiers responded.
After the soldiers left, Ang Lee smiled mischievously. He looked at Li Xiaolu and said, "When I was outside the cave just now, I was sweating all over. I want to take a bath! Do you want to go down together? "
After that, he stepped forward and intended to take off Li Xiaolu's clothes.
Li Xiaolu took two steps back and said in horror, "No, Assistant Minister Li, the water here is too cold. How can I take a bath? I'll freeze my body. "
Ang Lee shook his head and said, "How can that be? The water here is extremely clean. Bathing in such an environment will be very good for your body. Come on, don't be afraid. Let's take a bath together. "
After that, he stepped forward and took Li Xiaolu's hands.
Li Xiaolu's expression was quite terrible. She resisted and said, "No, I won't go down. The water is too cold. I don't want to go down. I don't want to."
Obviously, for Li Xiaolu, who had ordinary physical fitness, it was really difficult for her to take a bath in the cold pool. If she got sick from the cold, wouldn't it be terrible?
However, it seemed that she couldn't disobey Ang Lee's request. Therefore, Li Xiaolu looked so helpless and scared.
Seeing that Li Xiaolu was really scared, Ang Lee didn't insist too much. He smiled and said, "Well, I'm just teasing you. Since you don't want to take a bath, help me take off my clothes! I'll go down and play, haha! "
"Assistant Minister Li, the water is too cold. You'd better not go down!"
Li Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief. However, she began to worry about Ang Lee again. If Ang Lee got sick from the cold, she would be very sad.
"Don't worry! My body is very good. I won't get sick from the cold. You can rest assured. "
Ang Lee said very confidently.
Li Xiaolu saw that she couldn't persuade Ang Lee. She had to help Ang Lee take off his clothes and satisfy Ang Lee's wish to take a bath in the water.
When he just put his feet in the water, Ang Lee felt the cold water very strongly. However, the cold water of this temperature didn't scare Ang Lee. Therefore, Ang Lee continued to walk down and felt the cold water stimulating his skin bit by bit.
"Wow, it's so comfortable, so comfortable, haha!"
Every inch of Ang Lee's skin was wrapped in cold water. This feeling was really comfortable. Ang Lee was very used to this feeling.
In fact, using cold water to stimulate the skin was still very good for the human body. Cold water of more than ten degrees was really nothing. In the news of later generations, there were often such scenes. Many people would pour a mixture of cold water from the top of their heads all over their bodies.
Of course, this was also a child's play. What was more difficult was to train naked in the snow in winter when the temperature was less than ten degrees below zero. Or to swim in the river when the temperature was less than ten degrees below zero. This was the so-called winter swimming.
These were all behaviors that tested a person's willpower. In later generations, many people liked to do this and even formed a culture. Every winter, many people would experience this kind of activity that tested a person's willpower.
In Ang Lee's previous life, he had never experienced swimming in the river in winter, nor did he have the life experience of training in the snow. He had to say that it was a kind of regret. At this moment, it was very good to be able to experience this kind of life in the Tang dynasty.
"Huala, huala …"
Ang Lee turned his body back and forth in the water, feeling the clean cave water flowing through his body and a large number of trace elements being absorbed by his skin.
"Assistant Minister Li, are you really not cold?"
Li Xiaolu stood on the shore and looked at him, feeling cold.
"Cold, how can I be cold? It's very comfortable. Come and take a bath together! "
Ang Lee said with a smile. He picked up a large amount of cold water and poured it on Li Xiaolu, who was on the shore. Li Xiaolu's body was wet and she quickly ran a long distance away.
"Wow! This water is really sweet! "
Ang Lee scooped up some water and drank it gently while taking a bath.
The water in the cave was very clean and was rich in various trace elements and minerals. It was similar to the mineral water in later generations. Drinking more of it was absolutely beneficial to the body.
In addition, the water here was very sweet, which was greatly beyond Ang Lee's expectations. After all, this place was close to the sea. In Ang Lee's mind, water near the sea should more or less have a salty taste. At least, it should not be very sweet.
Although Ang Lee was not afraid of cold water, the temperature of the water was still too low. If he soaked in such cold water for a long time, it would definitely harm his body. Therefore, Ang Lee was not a fool. He would not stay in low-temperature water for too long. After washing for a quarter of an hour, Ang Lee went ashore.
Li Xiaolu quickly came over and helped Ang Lee wipe the water droplets on his body. Then, she helped Ang Lee put on his clothes. The service was very good and considerate. Of course, it was also because of Ang Lee's good training.
After taking a cold bath, Ang Lee felt much more comfortable. Every part of his body was very comfortable. Cold baths like this should be taken more often.
"Assistant Minister Li, we have stayed here for too long. Should we go out? It's not good to stay in a cold place all the time."
Li Xiaolu said.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "You're right. Sweating more when the weather is hot is great for the body. Let's go, we've been cold enough. Let's go out and bask in the sun!"
After saying that, he pulled Li Xiaolu out of Dawn Cave and prepared to continue touring the only mountain in Gibraltar.
Because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cave was relatively large, when Ang Lee walked out of the cave, he could clearly feel a wave of heat rushing towards him. It took him a while to adjust to it.
"Where are we going next?"
Ang Lee was not very familiar with the terrain, so he asked.
Li Xiaolu smiled and said, "There are many fun places here, but it doesn't feel like it did in the past. After all, we used to play here when we were young. Now that we're all adults, there are many fun things that we can't play with anymore. Otherwise, it would look weird."
"As long as it's something that children can play, adults can definitely play with it. Tell me! What did you play with when you were young? "
Ang Lee asked curiously.
Li Xiaolu pointed at a rock and said, "When we were young, we could play with anything. For example, there are two big trees next to the rock in front. In the past, there was a simple swing between the two trees. We used to play with the swing here. Now, the swing is gone, and even the rope is gone."
After saying that, she felt a sense of loneliness.
Li An went forward to check and found traces of strangulation on the trunks of the two big trees. In addition, not far away, he found shredded ropes that were about to rot and some rotten wood. They should be the accessories of a simple swing.
This was enough to prove that Li Xiaolu was not lying. She was telling the truth. This was indeed a place to play on the swing in the past. When Li Xiaolu was young, she often played on the swing here with her friends. Later, because the local people were chased away, no one maintained the swing, and it was completely destroyed under the sun and rain.
When Ang Lee went out, he was in a hurry and did not prepare the rope, wood, and other accessories for the swing. Of course, it was unlikely that he deliberately prepared these. After all, Ang Lee did not know that there was a damaged simple swing on the mountain.
However, even if there was no deliberate preparation, it was not difficult to make a simple swing again. For Ang Lee, who had a smart brain, this was not difficult.
Li An walked around casually and saw a patch of creepers near the big tree. These creepers could be used to replace ropes. In addition, this was a forest, so there was definitely no shortage of wood. Although Li An did not carry professional tools, the soldiers' broadswords could be used to cut branches and make a simple swing. It was not a problem at all.
"You guys go cut the vine. You guys go cut the branch. This thick is enough. Don't cut the big tree."
Ang Lee ordered the soldiers to prepare.
"Assistant Minister Li, what are you doing?"
Li Xiaolu was a little flattered. She did not expect Ang Lee to be so good to her and asked very embarrassedly.
