Chapter 33: Tanabata

Zhu Yan looked at Xue Jingyan's somewhat tired face and said, "Master, haven't you rested well?" ”

"It's fine." He put the things in his hand aside and moved his body to make Zhu Yan lie more comfortable.

"How are you feeling now?"

Zhu Yan moved slightly, feeling that his head was still a little groggy, but there was no such heaviness that trapped him.

"I'm much better now, Master, you can rest too."

Xue Jingyan originally wanted to say that it was okay again, but in Zhu Yan's eyes, he was defeated, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then I'll squint for a while." ”

Zhu Yan looked straight at him.

He had to close his eyes, although he had martial arts, but he didn't sleep all night, he would still be a little tired, especially he didn't know what would happen to him in the future, so he fell asleep after a while.

Zhu Yan looked at his sleeping face a little stunned, although he looked like he was asleep, his hand was always on the hilt of his sword. This kind of consciousness is something that Zhu Yan does not yet have, but there is no doubt that this is the capital that he can live all the time.

The other three guards in the carriage were there, but they made their sense of existence extremely small, only the sound of shallow breathing.

There are no lights in the carriage, and it is not easy to fit five people in a not very large carriage, but Zhu Yan and Xue Jingyan's territory is undoubtedly relatively large. It's stormy outside, and it's not easy to have a place to live. It was also very dark in the carriage, and Zhu Yan naturally couldn't read, she sat next to Xue Jingyan with her eyes open, and although she couldn't see clearly, she still kept looking at him.

She hoped to get out of the rain as soon as possible, but the rain was so heavy and so torrential that she couldn't raise her confidence. If he hadn't been there, she might have left here a long time ago.

Zhu Yan didn't know how long it had been, it was still as dim as before, but she only felt Xue Jingyan's body move, and hurriedly spoke.

"Master, are you awake?"

Xue Jingyan accurately captured Zhu Yan's location and said, "Well, I'm awake." Are you okay now? ”

"It's okay. It's just that it's so dark inside the carriage, when will it arrive? ”

Xue Jingyan asked the guard in front of him if he had seen a town nearby, but unfortunately the other party conveyed that he didn't see it.

"Master, I don't even know what day it is...... The sun didn't come out, and I don't even know how long it was. Isn't it been a few days? ”

"Silly girl, have you forgotten how many times you were hungry? The post station we left yesterday is the seventh day of the seventh month. ”

Zhu Yan leaned against the wall of the carriage and said quietly: "It turns out that today is the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month......

She remembered the time of her first life, which was a couple's day. In the Great Xia Dynasty, the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month was the Qiqiao Festival, but it was not Valentine's Day. It's just that many women will pray for the day when they become more and more intelligent and ingenious. Maybe it's because the wind of myths is not very popular in Great Xia, or maybe the story of the poor boy getting the big fairy hasn't been made up yet.

She was now tempted to tell the story in the dimly lit carriage, even when she had teased her granddaughter. Maybe it was the right moment, maybe she didn't want to let the panic continue to haunt her heart.

"Master, let me tell you a story, okay?" Zhu Yan asked.

Xue Jingyan couldn't help but chuckle: "Xiao Yan, do you know how to tell a story?" Then of course I'm going to listen. ”

"According to legend, once upon a time, there was a cowherd who had no relatives at home, and only regarded the cow he raised as a relative. One day he told the cow that he wanted to marry a fairy. The ox took him to the edge of a small lake. ”

"Are there fairies in the lake?"

"There are no fairies in the lake, but fairies will come down to bathe. On the seventh day of the seventh month, it was the day when the cowherd went, and many fairies came. They took off their clothes and frolicked happily in the lake. The cowherd stole the clothes of the most beautiful fairy, and after taking a bath, the other fairies went to heaven, only the fairy who was stolen had no clothes to wear, so she had to stay in the nether realm. ”

Later, the cowherd appeared, and told the fairy that her clothes were in her hands, and she had to marry him if she wanted to. The fairy couldn't fly without that dress, so she stayed and became the cowherd's wife. ”

"Master, do you think this story is beautiful?" Zhu Yan asked with a smile. She couldn't remember some of the details, but it was probably a story.

Xue Jingyan was a little embarrassed and said, "Beautiful." In his heart, he has a scale, and he doesn't feel very beautiful about this kind of relying on means to marry others. Thinking that maybe Zhu Yan is really young, I will think that this is a beautiful story. For those poor people who don't have money, it's a beautiful story.

"Master, are you upset?" Zhu Yan keenly sensed his thoughts and asked. As for the follow-up, she didn't bother to say it. Master's mood is more important, especially when she tells this story, she doesn't say the beautiful part, but it doesn't look very beautiful. Sure enough, she said that her storytelling skills are really not good, and she has never grown.

Xue Jingyan was about to answer that it was okay, but suddenly felt that the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the carriage was much weaker.

The guards driving in front of him heard some delight.

"This rain...... It's smaller. There was joy in his tone, and anyone who has been in the rain for so long will not be interested in appreciating the rain.

However, the rain did not stop after all.

At this time, a guard in the carriage took the initiative to ask Xue Jingyan for orders.

"Young master, now that the rain is lighter, why don't you let me ride forward first. This place should not be far from Qingyun City, I'll go find out the news first. ”

Xue Jingyan pondered for a while but agreed, and at the same time said, "If something happens, don't act rashly." I remember that there is a big river in the northwest of Qingyun City, the Yunlan River passes by, you go and see how the embankment there is going to be first. We'll be there soon. He wasn't worried about his safety all the way, he was worried about whether so many days of rain would cause danger to Qingyun Mansion.

"Yes." The guard took the order and left, took the saddle and other utensils placed in the carriage, and put it on Xiao Huang's body, he was Xiao Huang's master, named Huang Yun, he once said that it was because of his surname Huang that he chose Xiao Huang as his mount.

The figure with the cloak and hat gradually drowned in the slowly weakening raindrops, and finally disappeared.

The sky was still gray, but everyone's mood finally had a glimmer of light. Since the rain can be reduced, it can naturally stop. So everyone continued to move forward with anticipation, since they had been traveling for more than a day, although there were still three days to Qingyun City according to the distance, and it was not necessary to walk slowly on a rainy day for four days, but with hope in their hearts, they always felt that the road would not be so difficult.

The rain really gradually subsided, and at noon the next day, the rain was no longer raindrops, but rain. Zhu Yan can finally see the scenery on both sides of the official road, although it is the same tree, but at least you can see the green. She was content.

Even the expression on Xue Jingyan's face was much better. The same goes for the guards.

However, everyone's good mood was extremely bad on the third day.

On the third day it rained, and the rain silk was woven into a fine net, and the people in the net looked solemn and angry.

In the early morning, everything is still fine. Zhu Yan woke up in Xue Jingyan's arms and spontaneously looked for food for himself, Xue Jingyan had already eaten it and was closing his eyes to recuperate.

At this moment, the sound of eager and rapid horses' hooves was heard.

"Dada...... Click......"

There is also the sound of water splashing and falling in puddles on the official road.

The guards driving the car exclaimed in front.

"It's Huang Yun!"

Xue Jingyan lifted the curtain and looked out.

Huang Yun is very wolf at the moment, anyone who has completed the four-day journey in more than two days, as long as he is not an iron man, he will be tired. Huang Yun is not an iron man, and Xiao Huang is not an iron horse, so they are very wolf.

The hat is crooked, and it looks a little ridiculous. But no one laughed, not even the little Zhu Yan.

Just because Huang Yun said a word, everyone changed their faces.

He said: "The Yunlan River has burst its embankment......"

His voice was a little low, but it was already screaming with all his might. After shouting this sentence, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, as if this sentence had drained all his strength.
