CHAPTER XIX 3

Finally, when she saw the number one hundred and three, Mei Ziyan found a swollen thumb the size of a plum, which belonged to a middle-aged man who lived in the mountains and hunted for a living. With a smile on her face, she kindly led the person aside for a detailed consultation, and Suzaku was drinking tea on the side, boredly watching the two pharmacy guys she had urgently found hurriedly grabbing medicine. Probably the patient who was waiting was a little impatient, so he was there to talk about the gossip of celebrities in Tiandu.

"Have you heard? Today, there is a legend that the Empress Dowager of the East set up a Qionghua banquet in the imperial garden to invite the show girls who were selected this time, and the daughter of Shen Shangshu's family is also listed!"

"Is it the talented girl Shen Biyan who amazed the entire Tiandu with a song "Xiao Xiangzi" at the age of thirteen?

Mei Ziyan couldn't help but look sideways when she heard this, and Suzaku leaned into her ear and smiled: "You also said that you didn't fall in love with the third prince......?

She looked at Suzaku with gossip on her face and shook her head indifferently, "I just want to see which person who has been stung by a bee can talk like a parrot who has only been in school and read books." ”

"You just pretend," Suzaku smiled hatefully, "Judging from the amazement of your Suzaku sister and I who have been rolling in love for many years and reading countless people, you and the third son must have a play, a play!"

"Don't you Tiandu women read?Do you understand what it means to read countless people?Is the Shougong sand on your arm so eye-catching?" Mei Ziyan fought back unceremoniously, asked for the answer she needed, and asked the person to get the medicine after prescribing the prescription.

Suzaku blushed, and Mei Ziyan said again: "Xiao Jinqing of the Hibiscus Tent sang that little song very well, and I sat in the front row last night and found that he was amazingly handsome." Suzaku, can you help me inquire if he sells on the first night?!"

Suzaku didn't blush anymore this time, his eyes were full of fire, and he roared, "Mei Ziyan, what do you want to do?!"

"I bought him for you on the first night, so that you don't have to suffer from lovesickness, and it is also regarded as a welcome gift for you when you first arrive!" Mei Ziyan smiled and looked like she was underwhelmed, "Actually, I still have some relationship with Xiao Jinqing, and his master Feng Yuan is an old friend of my uncle." ”

Suzaku gradually calmed down and gave Mei Ziyan a chestnut chisel, "Dead girl, how do you know?!" She never told anyone that she liked Xiao Jinqing.

Mei Ziyan just wanted to answer, but at this moment she heard a patient say: "Hey, you don't know, the biggest turmoil in Tiandu yesterday was not the entry of Shen Cainu into the palace, but the fourth prince Mu fought with the National People's Congress in the Furong tent in order to win a little Qingqi, and finally snatched Xiao Qingqi back to the house as the eighth concubine!"

Mei Ziyan and Suzaku both clearly saw the uncontrollable pen in Dongming's hand, Mei Ziyan shook her head and whispered to Suzaku: "Did you see it, this is what you care about." You say how can you Mu Shi be a womanizer? Dongming is a good girl, obviously reluctant to come to me to help, or come quietly without complaining, why don't we give her a big gift?"

Suzaku frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Mei Ziyan smiled strangely, "The Buddha said: Don't say it." Won't you know then?"

She was very busy, and she didn't have time to talk to Suzaku any longer, so she just asked the dumb slave to hang a sign outside the door and told him to wait until the patient dispersed to send Dongming back to the house, and she hurriedly packed a small baggage, went out and got into a carriage and headed towards Shangchun Valley in the southwest of Tiandu.

When you arrive at Shangchun Valley, you must pass through Shangjia Village, which is a small village, and the men of the family have gone into the mountains to hunt during the day, leaving only some old and weak women and children. Mei Ziyan inquired about the way into the valley, and an old woman in a light gray coarse cloth skirt grabbed her and said:

"The girl must return before sunset, there were many pheasants and wild deer roe deer in this Shangchun Valley, but half a year ago I often heard wolves howling at night, and the hunters in the village had gone into the mountains to hunt wolves together, but they didn't even see the shadow of wolves. However, the strange thing is that in the past six months, there have been many fewer prey in Shangchun Valley, and many people have returned empty-handed. No, most of the men in our village have gone out to earn a living. ”

Mei Ziyan smiled and nodded, all she was looking for was a place with large alfalfa flowers that could shine in the sun at noon, and it shouldn't be in the depths of the valley. As for bee hunting, it wasn't the first time she had done something like this.

Besides, today happens to be the beginning of autumn, and the wind direction is right, so it is a good time to catch bees.

When she found the alfalfa flower, it was already past noon, and the large yellow flowers were swaying in the sun, and there was also a red peak burning like a flame all over the body. Mei Ziyan lit a fire and set up a small crockpot, covered with two palm-sized bee cages, wormwood and yew grass curled smoke in the crockpot, she put on a gauze hat and hid behind an old tree and waited quietly......

I still remember that the first time I went to catch bees in Qinglin Mountain, I went without telling my father and mother, and I was not bold enough, so I took my fair Ah Ling and Wang Qian's brothers Wang Yuan to go together, she was out of curiosity, and the others were out of greed, and she was attracted by the honey that she said was heaven and earth, especially my aunt. As a result, they were all stung and swollen hands and faces came back. Naturally, a punishment from her family was indispensable, and she said to her life very angrily that she was bitten and punished, but a bee couldn't catch it, and she lost a lot.

As a result, the lump on her face was just right, and she secretly took her to catch bees. He taught her how to prepare, how to choose the moment, how to be patient...... So, for the first time, she successfully raised a swarm of bees in Merlin in the back mountain.

The hard-won honey with the fragrance of plum blossoms, at that time, she thought that she could always be sweet in her heart.

Now that I think about it, I can't even evoke a trace of sadness, only a faint melancholy.

Carefully put away the bee cage, put it in a gauze bag, and looked up to the west, the sun had sunk. So she walked back and forth. As she walked, there was a slight sound in the grass half an inch high on the road, she was startled and quickly dodged away, subconsciously thinking about whether there would be a snake, but the dead branches and leaves under her feet suddenly stepped on the air, and she screamed and fell down.

Finished. When she stood up and looked at it, ignoring the pain in her left ankle, she lamented in her heart that she had come to such a conclusion. It turned out to be a trap for beasts, dug very deep, and the walls were all yellow clay with no edges and corners, and she couldn't climb up at all. Luckily, the dead leaves kept the spikes out there, otherwise she would have been in a worse situation by now.

The hum of the gauze-wrapped bee cage was so clear.

She also tried to cry out for help, but all she could respond to was the echo of the silence in the valley. It was getting dark, and it was so quiet that it was frightening.

She pursed her lips and blew a few whistles, and waited for a long time before she saw the slender figure of the blue bird fly down into her palm. She pulled down the blue ribbon from her hair and wrapped it around the bluebird's paws, watching it fly into the night.

The stars in the sky are beginning to appear, the autumn sky is particularly high, the bright stars are like jewels on the inky blue sky, Mei Ziyan sighed, found a comfortable place to sit down, and looked up at the sky the size of a wellhead.

"Brother Sui, I haven't seen you for two years, are you okay?"
