The Tongtian River that runs through the east and west, the big waves wash the sand all the year round, surging endlessly, dividing the land of Qingzhou into the north and south banks, no one knows where the upper reaches of this big river are, people only know that the last end of the Tongtian River is the sea, and only know that the branches of the Tongtian River are all over the four fields.

Even the endless Wanheng Mountains are nothing more than branches on trees and grass in the mountains compared to this big river.

Qingzhou is boundless, and the Tongtian River is like a ribbon draped over this land, bringing vitality and disaster to the people living in Qingzhou.

Every hundred years or so, there will be a burst of the Tianhe River, the raging Tongtian River floods and rags, not only flooding the houses and houses, but also the army and the imperial city, after each flood, the land is barren, and the weather will become colder and colder.

To the south of the Tongtian River, there are sixteen kingdoms, which are called the sixteen kingdoms of Tiannan, and the country of Pu and Qi is one of the sixteen countries.

Dapu is lucky, because the long Wanheng Mountain Range not only blocks the cold and enemies in the north, but also forms a natural barrier to block the flooding of the Tongtian River.

If you are lucky, you will be unlucky, and Qi is the unlucky one.

Because in the north of the Wanheng Mountains, the geographical location of the Qi country is between the Wanheng Mountains and the Tongtian River, which belongs to the closest to the north of the sixteen countries of Tiannan, and is also the closest to the Tongtian River.

A natural disaster once in a hundred years, I don't know how many years it lasted, so the people of Qi who were deeply affected by the flood, tried their best to resist natural disasters, expand the river, dig deep riverbed, remove river mud, all kinds of methods were basically used by Daqi over and over, the effect is good, originally once the Tianhe River bursts, the entire Qi country will become a water town, the current situation is that the Tianhe River bursts the embankment, at least the imperial city will not be washed away, in addition to the imperial city, it is still a flood everywhere.

As for why the imperial city can be preserved in the torrent, it is because the royal family of Qi has made great efforts to strengthen the city wall, five zhang wide, nearly 20 zhang high city wall can be called the most in the world, if you want to say who can run a carriage on the city wall, it must be Daqi, not one, the wall of the imperial city of Qi can run three carriages side by side.

The imperial city of Qi is not afraid of floods, but the people under his rule are still suffering from floods, so every household has an extra habit, that is, preparing boats.

Large families must have a big boat in the backyard, and small families will also provide a flat boat, as for whether they can climb on the boat in the flood, it depends on whose luck is better.

Boats, boats, cars and horses, the necessary transportation for the people of the world, Qi can be called the head of the sixteen countries in this regard, because once the flood comes, people need to run, there is no fast horse and big boat, two legs can not run the river that bursts the embankment.

Qi produces good horses, more horse breeders.

Most of the horses of Qi are tall and large, their hair is slippery, and they can be called galloping when they pull up the car, which is also the place where the people of Qi are proud.

No pride in this world can be permanent, and the pride of the Qi country for hundreds of years has finally been broken by a little black pig.

Xiao Hei, who ran all the way from the north mountain of the Wanheng Mountains, plunged into the hinterland of Qi under the temptation of food, so a little pig dragging a broken plough on the official road, I don't know how many horses were exceeded, which not only provoked the sideways eyes of passers-by, but also caused those high-headed horses to be ashamed, and the horses' eyes were full of tears.

Pigs can run faster than horses, which really hurts the self-esteem of horses.

After more than a day of running wildly, Xu Yan and Mei Sanniang finally left the snow-capped mountains and entered the country of Qi, and when they passed through a town, Xu Yan decided to stop.

The little black pig ran tirelessly, looking still in good spirits, the pig was not hungry, Xu Yan was hungry first.

When the young man was growing his body, he hadn't eaten anything for a day or two nights, and Xu Yan had already been in the front and back, especially the climbing plow he had woven had already been ground to pieces, and it was time to grind the flesh skin if he ran down.

Rushing out of the snowy mountains, Mei Sanniang is also much more energetic, once she sees hope in the desperate situation, no matter how cowardly she is, she will become extremely strong.

Mei Sanniang, who already had a strong desire to survive, almost saw hope beckoning to her after leaving the snowy mountain.

No one wants to die, being alive is the true value of life, and when you die, there is nothing.

Throwing away the climbing plow, Xu Yan took the little black pig and helped Mei Sanniang into this Qi town, and asked for an ordinary guest room at the inn in the town, and the two of them were ready to rest for a night.

It's not that there is no room in the inn, but that Xu Yan doesn't have much money on him.

Dinner was a simple steamed bun and pickles, and the little black pig was obviously very dissatisfied with this kind of food, and he snorted and screamed, but Xu Yan directly ignored it.

"This is Lijia Town, which is about seven or eight days away from Fengshan City. Mei Sanniang's spirit seems to be very good, except that her face is getting whiter and whiter, and her breath is much smoother.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk for half a month. Xu Yan put away the dishes and chopsticks, did not look up, and said softly.

Mei Sanniang's spirit is good, but her complexion is getting worse and worse, and Xu Yan can conclude that within ten days, the woman next to her will die of poison.

"I can't walk anymore, so I might as well die here. The woman reclining at the head of the bed had a sweet voice, her eyes full of laughter, obviously teasing the little Taoist.

Xu Yan looked out a string of copper coins from his arms with a bitter face, adding up to only twenty or thirty, such a little money can say that he can live in an inn for a day and eat steamed buns for two days, let alone buy a horse, and he can't afford to hire a car.

"Third sister, if you don't have any money, we'll be in trouble. ”

Xu Yan really has no money, and in the three months in Yuanshanzhai, it stands to reason that he can also get some, but all his share was given by the fat chef, and he gave Xu Yan three or five copper plates in a month.

"I left in a hurry, and the third sister really didn't bring any money. Once a naturally charming woman laughs, the voice can make people's bones soft, Mei Sanniang said with a smile: "Little Taoist, are you reluctant to let the third sister die?"

"When is it, third sister, don't make fun of me. Xu Yan's brows twisted into a pimple, and he looked at the little black pig who was pouting in the corner of the wall and shaking his tail in demonstration, and said helplessly: "We can't let Xiao Hei pull the car, and besides, we can't afford to buy a car." ”

Purr!

As soon as he heard the word "pulling the cart", the little black pig with a shriveled belly suddenly stopped doing it, and purred and barked, and it wanted to declare to its owner that it was a pig, not a horse.

"Giggles. Mei Sanniang wanted to laugh when she saw Xu Yan competing with the pig, and she began to cough when she laughed.

Xu Yan hurriedly patted her on the back, her eyes full of worry, and then suddenly remembered something, and opened the small Nanmu box in her arms, revealing a bead the size of a fingernail inside.

The beads were very ordinary, like a dough, but as soon as they appeared, there was a faint medicinal fragrance wafting in, and the seemingly ordinary beads could be seen in Xu Yan's eyes with a strange aura circulating on the surface, like a thin layer of mist.

It should be an elixir.

"Put it away!"

Mei Sanniang just stopped coughing, and when she saw Xu Yan open the box, her face changed and she hurriedly stopped: "This thing is not allowed to be seen by anyone, Liao Jiuming used to be a member of the Ghost King Gate, and he left the Qi Kingdom to occupy the mountain as the king, I am afraid it has something to do with this wooden box, this thing will definitely not be simple, if those strong people from the Ghost King Gate know that this thing is in our hands, the two of us will be in trouble!"

Hurriedly closing the lid, Xu Yan frowned and asked, "Third sister, what's the use of this elixir, if it can detoxify, wouldn't it be better for you to eat it directly?"

Mei Sanniang shook her head and said, "I don't know what it is, but this thing is very important to Liao Jiuming, it shouldn't be a detoxification thing, you put it away, and you are not allowed to take it out again in the future." ”

Seeing Xu Yan put away the small wooden box, Mei Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Rest for one night first, tomorrow we will go to the pharmacy in the town, there is a pharmacy in the town opened by my Mei family, and when I get to the pharmacy, I naturally don't have to worry about money." ”

It turned out that the Mei family had opened all the pharmacies in Lijia Town, and when he heard the news, Xu Yan finally became happy.

There is not only money but also herbs in the pharmacy, and he may not be able to collect enough types of detoxification, but Xu Yan will never let go of this opportunity.

There are more than 100 kinds of medicinal herbs, and if you can collect one more, Mei Sanniang's chances of being rescued will be greater.

It was already dark outside, and the two of them were tired and sleepy, so Mei Sanniang decided to go to Mei's pharmacy tomorrow, she moved her body inside, and found that Xu Yan was spreading the bedding on the ground.

"Isn't it cold on the ground, silly Taoist, come up and sleep. ”

"Men and women do not give and receive intimate ......"

"Half-grown child, where did you get so many stinky problems. ”

"The master said that outsiders are not close to women......"

"Lay disciples of Buddhism can marry wives and have children, not to mention that you are a little Taoist priest and a woman, you know what a woman is. ”

"Compassion, compassion...... Whew, whew......"

The little Taoist priest who was caught by Mei Sanniang and dragged to the bed fell asleep without saying a few words.

He was so tired, not only the running around for days, but also the experience of killing thousands of people at one time, but also made Xu Yan's little heart tired, especially the fierce ghost who imprisoned the cage in his heart, which made Xu Yan even more exhausted.

The night light shines through the window lattice, shining on the woman's fair face, looking at the sleeping teenager, Mei Sanniang's eyes have tears flashing.

If Xiaocheng hadn't died, she would have been as old as the young man in front of her, she lost her younger brother, was imprisoned by bandits for five years, and finally got revenge, this kind of bitterness is really not something ordinary people can bear.

Fortunately, God gave her a younger brother, at least at this time in Mei Sanniang's heart, the little Taoist priest who had experienced life and death with her was already her own brother.
