Shen Man saw the two shadows cast on the silk door outside, and frowned slightly, "This group of people doesn't know what they want to do, it's a bit mysterious. ”

Tang Jiuyue's face was not good, her head still hurt a little, she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "No matter what you do, since you have already come up, just sit and wait with peace of mind, naturally someone will come to us." ”

Shen Man stared at her, "Miss Tang, your face is ugly, are you not feeling well?" ”

Tang Jiuyue coughed, covered her mouth and nose, "I'm afraid it's really typhoid fever." By the way, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Man, thinking that it was obviously her who fell in the snow, why did she suffer from the cold? Besides, after eating that half of the centipede, the ancient books said that the black blood centipede in Bishan was extremely strong and replenished, and it couldn't even resist a little wind and cold, and it didn't seem to be as magical as the ancient books said.

Shen Man came over to help her sit down, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. moved the heater in the house to Tang Jiuyue, then turned around in a circle, and finally came over with a blanket and draped it over Tang Jiuyue's body, squatted at her feet and asked, "Is it warm now?" I'll go see if there is any ginger soup. ”

Tang Jiuyue saw that she was busy and remembered her mother's voice when she was a child. The children of the Tang family have always been strong and never show weakness to others. It is not uncommon to experience rain in a raging storm or walk barefoot in the cold winter moon. Her father never cared about her, only her mother would come over in the dead of night to make ginger soup for her and cover the bedding for her. Then he gently touched her forehead, smiled and said to himself, "Xiao Jiu, tomorrow will be fine, you are a reassuring child, it doesn't matter." ”

Tang Jiuyue likes her mother's smile in the light the most, her palm is very warm, with the unique smell of her mother, she will sleep in this smell every time she is sick. No matter how stormy the next day was, whenever she saw her mother standing in the corner and staring this way, she would grit her teeth and persevere.

"Miss Tang-" A pair of hands covered Tang Jiuyue's forehead, Tang Jiuyue's eyes were slightly raised, and what entered her pupils was a beautiful girl, with a pair of delicate and ingenious eyebrows looking at her with concern. Shen Man asked, "You seem to be having a fever, I'll go and ask someone to get some hot soup to ward off the cold." ”

Shen Man got up to leave, Tang Jiuyue felt that her forehead had lost the warmth of her forehead, and she also saw that the corners of her clothes were being withdrawn on the ground.

"Oops?!" Shen Man felt that the corners of his clothes were pressed by something, and when he looked down, he saw a boot tip stepping there. Shen Man almost tripped and said a little strangely, "Miss Tang, do you have other things?" ”

Tang Jiuyue shook her head, in fact, she was also a little puzzled why she stepped on the corner of Shen Man's clothes. So he wrung his eyebrows and raised his feet slightly.

Shen Man saw that she let go and continued to move forward, but as soon as he tried to exert himself, he was stopped by a force behind him, so he fell to the ground unexpectedly and wolfly. This is the second time she has been tripped by Tang Jiuyue like this, the first time in the snow, and the second time here.

"Don ...... Miss Tang......"

Tang Jiuyue showed a trace of apology on her face, but she still quickly turned her head and said lightly, "You still stay here, if you get into trouble again, I can't guarantee your safety with my current state." ”

Shen Man's face turned red, she had repeatedly forgotten that this was a dream, and the lives of these people she saw had nothing to do with them. Even if the woman who fell into the water died, it would be fine, but if something happened to her and Tang Jiuyue, then something really happened.

"Shen Man," Tang Jiuyue said a little seriously after a long time, "Your temperament should still be changed." ”

"Well," Shen Man listened humbly, "I know, this is a dream, and I will never bother to save people again." ”

"Not only here, but also outside."

"Huh?" Shen Man looked at Tang Jiuyue, saw her grim expression, and blurted out, "When you see someone in trouble, shouldn't you help?" ”

Tang Jiuyue slowly took a sip of hot water, "It's not that you don't save it, but you should do what you can." ”

Shen Man lowered his head and was ashamed, thinking that what Miss Tang said was right, if you want to help others, you should first have the ability to do so, if you don't have the ability and forcibly want to be kind to others, it may backfire, and people may not be grateful. As far as the current situation is concerned, in order to save the woman who fell into the water of unknown origin, people are not grateful to her, and even Miss Tang is forced to be trapped here, which is really harmful to others and herself.

Tang Jiuyue saw that she was bored there and didn't make a sound, and thought she was angry. Just as he was about to open his mouth to inquire, he heard Shen Man say softly over there, "Miss Tang, please teach me the Yin and Yang Dao in the future, I will definitely work hard to live up to your expectations." ”

Tang Jiuyue moved her mouth, she originally wanted to say, "I don't have any hope for you", but then she thought that it would be too shocking for herself to be like this, and it was best not to offend the people around you who were willing to take care of you when you were sick. So he swallowed the words stiffly, and changed his tone to "um".

Suddenly feeling a slight vibration, Tang Jiuyue looked down at the water in the cup, and the water rippled from the middle circle. Tang Jiuyue said, "Strange. ”

Shen Man leaned over and said, "We are on the boat, and it is normal for the water to be shaking." ”

"It's normal to be left □□ oblique, but it's a little wrong to spread out from the middle."

Shen Man lay on the ground and listened to the ground for a while, "There seems to be something down here, it's this thing moving." ”

Tang Jiuyue thought about it and said indifferently, "About." ”

"Could it be that there is some monster hiding on this ship?" Shen Man touched his chin and said, "We've been in danger all the way, and I won't be surprised if I encounter any monsters." But where are they going, what is this monster for, and who is the owner of this ship? ”

Tang Jiuyue said helplessly, "Why do you have so many questions?" She remembered that Shen Man was not like this before, could it be that because Lime was not there, Shen Man naturally inherited Lime's multi-talk physique and became Lime No. 2? Knowing this, it would be better to let Lime take her as an apprentice than to be nagged by her here.

While talking, a woman's voice came in from outside the door, "Two girls, the son is invited." ”

Shen Man immediately perked up and said to Tang Jiuyue, "It's here." ”

Tang Jiuyue slowly got up and smoothed her sleeves, "Let's go." There was no fear on his face, and he was calm and calm.

Two beautiful girls who had seen her were led all the way to the main hatch, and entered after the ceremony. Inside, it was magnificent, full of golden gold objects, and the ground was lavishly covered with soft animal furs, so that even if you step on it barefoot, you won't feel cold. Shen Man looked at the vast majority of the young women in this room, and they were also standing barefoot.

took a seat, Shen Man was next to Tang Jiuyue, and the two of them sat together. The main seat above was still empty, and the master must not have arrived until the end. The sheng music started, and a woman with long sleeves entered. The house was filled with fragrant aromas, and the wine was being warmed with hot water.

Shen Man observed the surrounding environment, leaned close to Tang Jiuyue's ear and said, "Is there a problem with this music?" ”

"Nope."

"Where's the spice?"

"Nope."

"What about this man?"

Tang Jiuyue finally couldn't help but glance at her and said, "There is really a problem with people. ”

"Which one?"

"This one in front of me." Tang Jiuyue said without hurry.

"You've been waiting for a long time," a girl who looked no more than fourteen years old stood on top of her, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "My son-in-law will not come to see guests if he is sick, so we will entertain the guests of honor." ”

Before the words fell, a tall and thin figure came out, this person was personable, with slender eyebrows and eyes. Holding a folding fan in his hand, the folding fan opened, and the fan surface was empty.

This person is the boy I have seen before, I saw him sitting opposite, with a smile on his face, "The two VIPs have been waiting for a long time, I don't know if this dinner is still in line with the taste?" ”

Shen Man replied, "Tired son, this dinner is very rich, and my sister and I are very grateful." ”

"I don't know where the two girls came from and where they are going?" The other party began to probe the details.

"The two of us are from Shuzhong, Sichuan, and we want to go to the capital to join relatives and see the world."

"I haven't asked for the girl's name yet." The young man known as "Little Li Ye" obviously changed his face when he heard "Sichuan Shuzhong", and he glanced at Tang Jiuyue from time to time.

"My surname is Tang, my name is Luluo, and this is my sister, named Tang Baiyi." After Shen Man's introduction, he saw that Xiao Li Ye's face was even worse, and he continued to smile and asked, "I don't know the surname of the owner of this painting boat, since we have come here, we want to visit the owner of the painting boat." ”

"He happened to be sick and couldn't see any visitors. It's the same if the two of you have anything to say to you. Xiao Li Ye shook the fan and fanned it out of place, and a cold light flashed in his slender eyes.

"Since we're sick, we can't bother."

The two sides were silent for a while, only to hear the little Li Ye speak, "Actually, we are also about to go to the capital, if you don't mind, you can go with us." ”

"Naturally, we won't mind, then thank you Xiao Li." Shen Man laughed with him, but thought in his heart that even if they wanted to, they would definitely not be able to go. The woman who fell into the water before and saved her by herself, must have been regarded as a thorn in her side, but the two sides still don't know the details of each other, so this dinner is just a mutual temptation. Fang Cai deliberately said that he was from Shuzhong, and reported his surname Tang, and there was a person with aura like Miss Tang sitting in the formation, anyone with a little vision should know that he and Miss Tang are not easy to mess with, at least they dare not act rashly.

Sure enough, Xiao Liye's tone was obviously much more enthusiastic, and he said while pouring himself wine, "It's a long journey, and Shuzhong, Sichuan is thousands of miles away from here, I don't know how the two of you went on the road alone?" What dangers can I encounter on the road? ”

Shen Man said, "I have indeed encountered a lot of dangers. ”

"Oh?"

"Don't hide it from Xiao Li, we met a group of thieves before and robbed us of our bags and money, so we fell so far."

"Look at the two girls on the shore, did they climb the mountain and pass the Miao Village in front?"

"Hmm."

The fan in Xiao Liye's hand stopped, slapped his hand together with a "snap", and said with a smile, "Two, the river we are crossing now actually passes through those places." ”

Shen Man was stunned, "Where did you go through?" ”

Xiao Li Ye got up with a smile and walked to a screen behind, and Shen Man saw that this screen was actually embroidered with a picture of mountains and rivers. I saw that the little Li Ye turned sideways, pointed to a few places with a fan, and said leisurely, "If the two of you take a boat from this reed, you don't have to dock on the road, you can drift to this place effortlessly along a river path, and then-" He fanned all the way to the right, and there was no obstruction, but he saw that the rivers and lakes were getting wider and wider, until they reached a city wall. Xiao Li Ye smiled slowly, "Then the two of you can go directly to the capital." ”

The corners of Shen Man's mouth twitched, and he looked at Tang Jiuyue, according to this person, he had to climb mountains and mountains, climb mountains and cross rivers, and it took several days of effort to reach the capital......

If they were able to go straight from the reeds to the capital from the beginning of the day, then what kind of effort have they had to spend these days......

"If so, how long will it take to get to Kyoto?" Shen Man couldn't bear to know the answer, but he couldn't help but ask.

"One day and one night can be there." Xiao Li Ye lifted the front swing and sat cross-legged.

"Thank you...... Xiao Li Ye informed. ”
