"Yue'er, in our Chu country, you can't touch a girl's body casually, if you touch it, you have to marry her, so... Let's stop making such jokes. Wang Zizhan said embarrassedly.

"Oh, is it? Can't you touch a girl's body casually in Chu State? Do you have to marry someone if you touch it?" Yue'er asked curiously, what a strange custom.

"Well, in our Chu country, the body is the most important part, if it is touched, it will be considered a great shame, if a man touches a man's body, he must kill the other party, if he touches the body of the opposite sex, he must be combined, otherwise, he will be regarded as an unclean person. Wang Zizhan explained to Yue'er.

"Ah, does the man want to kill the other party after touching the man? It's so cruel, what if you accidentally touch it?" Yue'er looked at Wang Zizhan and asked curiously.

"Therefore, when the people of Chu are walking on the street, they are separated from each other by a certain distance, even if they are close to each other, when they give gifts, they must be separated by half a step to show respect, of course, if it is not unintentional touch, it doesn't matter, if it is deliberately touching the other party's body, especially the torso, it will be regarded as a shame, or a hint of wanting to be close to it. Wang Zizhan patiently explained.

"Wow, no wonder there is an idiom in Chu called 'half-step kin', which describes people who are very close, isn't it?" Yue'er asked curiously.

"Yes, a half-step is the person closest to you, and is generally used to describe a parent or brother. Wang Zizhan nodded and said.

"Then what should you do if you are touched by someone else, but you can't kill the other party?" Yue'er asked again.

"If you can't kill the other party, you will be an unclean person, and what face will you have to live in the world? Wang Zizhan said very casually, as if this was a very ordinary thing.

"Just because someone touched his body, he either killed the other party or cut himself? No wonder the people of the Central Plains said that Chu was a barbarian land. Yue'er looked at Wang Zizhan and said.

When Wang Zizhan heard this, he was not angry, but smiled indifferently, "One side of the water and soil, one side of the people, the people of Chu are so straightforward, love is love, hate is hate, never hide it, the light of life, the death is innocent." ”

"Hehe, what Brother Zhan said seems to have some truth, but this is Fufeng Country, not your Chu Country, doesn't Brother Zhan know that you follow the customs of the country? There is no such rule in our Fufeng Country, in our place, whether it is a brother or a good friend, you can bathe together, and you can also help each other scrub your body, there is no such thing as killing each other if you touch your body.

My brother and I have been bathing together since we were kids, and we are very affectionate. Yue'er said with a smile.

"Huh, you're taking a bath with your brother?" Wang Zizhan widened his eyes in surprise when he heard this.

"Hehe, yes, I really miss the days of living with my brother, at that time we would take a bath in the Tianchi of Fengluan Hall every day, the water of Tianchi was cool and sweet, and I would play in the water with my brother when I took a bath, and every time I got wet, I was so happy. Yue'er recalled the happy times in the past, and her eyes were full of nostalgia.

"Then why don't you stay with your brother all the time, why are you alone in Maple Birch Villa?" Wang Zizhan asked strangely.

"Could it be that you were also framed by the villain like me?" Wang Zizhan then asked.

"No, how can there be so many villains in the world? My father is surrounded by righteous men and gentlemen, not to mention, my brother and I are both children of my mother's concubine, there is no saying that we favor one or the other, and my brother is better than me, and he is older than me, and he will be the first heir of my father in the future, and I have never thought of fighting with my brother for power, and my brother has always been very good to me, and we don't have the idea of anyone framing whom. Yue'er shook her head and said.

"Then why are you here?" said the prince, who was even more strange.

"Isn't it because I can't cultivate martial souls? I was born with a weak body, my muscles and veins are unbearable, I can't cultivate martial souls, when I was in the royal capital, I was often ridiculed, although my father didn't say it, but my heart was very painful, my father sent me here, maybe it was for me to be good, I don't want to see me looked down on again, and the environment here is very good, and it is also very suitable for recuperation, in short, I already like it here. Yue'er said with a smile.

"Oh, I see. Wang Zizhan nodded thoughtfully.

"Actually, it's okay if girls can't cultivate martial spirits, fighting is a man's business after all. Wang Zizhan said with a smile again.

"Hehe, my brother said the same thing. Yue'er said with a smile.

"Originally, it is up to men to fight wars, and it is better for women to teach their husbands and children at home, God divides people into men and women, and they have to perform their own duties, otherwise why do you have to divide men and women?" Wang Zizhan said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's the first time I've heard this kind of statement. Yue'er was amused by Wang Zizhan and laughed.

The two were chatting happily, when suddenly, there was a shout from Steward Feng not far away.

"Little master, little master?"

Yue'er heard Steward Feng's voice, and quickly got out of the hot spring and draped her clothes on her body.

"Steward Feng, what's wrong?" asked Yue'er, standing barefoot in front of Steward Feng.

"Where's Prince Zhan?" asked Steward Feng.

"Lord Feng, I'm here. At this time, Wang Zizhan also climbed out of the hot spring and put on his robe.

"Oh no, Mr. Ouyang is sick, let's go and take a look. Steward Feng said with a solemn expression.

"What?, Teacher Ouyang is sick?" the prince frowned, and his heart thumped.

"Now Lord Feng is giving first aid, it's just that Mr. Ouyang is too sick, I'm afraid he won't last long, the person he wants to see most now is you, the prince, and please go back quickly. Steward Feng said, took Wang Zizhan's hand, and ran towards the villa.

When Yue'er heard this, she also felt the seriousness of the situation, and returned to the village with Steward Feng and Wang Zizhan.

After returning to Fenghua Villa, he saw Ouyang Yi lying on a bed in the west wing, his face pale and cold.

"Teacher!~Teacher!~ What's wrong with you?" the prince felt cold and knelt down in front of the bed.

Ouyang Yi is Wang Zizhan's mentor, it is he who single-handedly brings Wang Zizhan up, just like his father, he has always been careful to take care of him, no matter how great the danger and suffering he encountered, Ouyang Yi did not hesitate to carry it for Wang Zizhan with his shoulder.

The master and apprentice escaped from the state of Chu with nine deaths, originally thinking that they could start a new life, but they didn't expect that they had just found a place of refuge, but their teacher suffered this catastrophe again, how could Wang Zizhan not feel uncomfortable in his heart?

"Your Royal Highness, life and death have a fate, my time is running out, I can see Your Highness again before I die, there is no hatred in this life, Your Highness can take refuge in the door of Lord Feng, concentrate on cultivation, no matter when, don't forget that you are the prince of Chu, if you have the opportunity in the future, you must return to Chu, regain the throne, and never let the Great Chu rivers and mountains fall into the hands of villains." Ouyang Yi grabbed Wang Zizhan's hand tightly and said hoarsely.
