In the southwestern city lord's mansion, the steward summoned a group of craftsmen to start leveling the land in the backyard.

When Snow Eagle moved into this mansion, he did not have many men, so he only used a few rows of houses built in the front yard.

The backyard is almost entirely occupied by weeds and trees, except for the mysterious basement that is covered by a few houses, which is at best an inconspicuous corner.

Cui'er sat on the stone bench in front of the house and embroidered flowers for a while, and when she saw that Luo Junman had already filled the water in the few large water tanks in the courtyard, she couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "I still chirped so many crooked complaints a few days ago, how can I take the initiative to be like this today, I don't need to say it." ”

"There are a lot of craftsmen in the backyard, and I can't help much, since there is something to do here, it is the same to help you." Luo Junman wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his hand and said in a low voice.

Cui'er picked out a basket from the basket next to her, flipped through a handkerchief, looked up at him and shouted, "Here you go, go on!" “

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw the handkerchief in a ball.

While smiling, he said: "You are such a big person, wipe the sweat on your sleeves, aren't you dirty?" ”

Luo Junman's reaction was half a beat slower, and he almost let the handkerchief fall on the muddy floor, but he hurriedly took it and opened it in his hand to look at it.

The white background, embroidered with a clump of beautiful orchids, is light and soft to the touch, and is made of good material.

Luo Junman usually didn't feel anything about the heavy swords, guns, swords, and sticks, but when he held this fluttering handkerchief, he suddenly blushed and his lips moved. looked at Cui'er but couldn't speak.

It took a long time for him to blush and slowly say, "Thank you." ”

Cui'er looked at him puzzled, and said with some surprise at his reaction: "This handkerchief was originally made for my girl, I made a dozen, and when I embroidered the orchid in the lower left corner, there was a place that I embroidered, so I can't give it to the girl." "Because of the good materials used, it's a pity to throw them away. Look at you, I'm afraid you don't have anything like this on your body, or you might as well wipe your sweat with your sleeves. You just take it, what are you doing with a red face? “

Cui'er paused for a few seconds while speaking, and suddenly smiled: "It's not that you think too much, and you think haha." Don't worry, I'm not a girl here in the southwest, make a handkerchief for my sweetheart and send it over. ”

"You're thinking too much!"

Cui'er laughed breathlessly.

Luo Jun was full of her laughter, blushing for a while, pale for a while, and she didn't know how to put her embarrassed hands and feet, but she couldn't fight for a word.

Laughter is heard in the distance. At the corner of the porch in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion, a young man in a cyan robe walked over, he walked unhurriedly, and his demeanor and temperament were very different from Luo Junman. "What is Miss Cui'er laughing at, the news coming from outside?" He smiled and stepped forward to ask.

Cui'er stopped laughing and shouted at him generously: "Young Master Shao." "Just call me Wenyu." "That's not possible, it's too rude, let's call you Brother Shao."

Cui'er and Shao Wenyu began to chat, she was still holding a handkerchief embroidery in her hand, and looked up at Shao Wenyu standing beside her from time to time.

Luo Junman on the side stood very bored for a while. Feeling that he was too much to compromise, he went to check the herbs drying on the wooden shelves in the yard.

He had a lot of strength, and it wouldn't take long to go through all the herbs on the wooden shelf. "The city lord is too polite, originally it was good to just find a place to live here, but I didn't expect him to let people build a few more rooms for me." Shao Wenyu sighed.

Cui'er shook her head and said, "Brother Shao, what you said is not right. ”

"Since the city lord left you as the doctor in the palace, it's not unusual to build a few rooms for you, let's talk about it. As long as you can contribute to the City Lord's Mansion, let alone a few rooms, it is normal to divide your mansion. ”

Luo Junman heard it from afar, and muttered in his mouth: "The words are as if she gave out money." ”

It's just a quiet sentence. Stunned to hear it for Cui'er, she put down the needlework in her hand unhappily, walked over to the wooden frame and said, "The surname Luo, you go and ask the city lord, is this the truth?" ”

"We girls often say, we are thirsty for talent."

"Brother Shao has been reused by the city lord, don't you do the same, don't forget that your father and mother were all asked by the city lord to pick up and settle down."

"As long as it is a talent who can contribute to the southwest and the city lord's mansion, getting a good treatment just shows what the city lord will do in the future, and will attract more people to work here."

"Don't you understand such a clear truth?"

"That's a good point."

Xue Ying came out of the door of the study, and heard the little girl Cui'er talking to the two people, he clapped his hands a few times, paced over and nodded in agreement, "I've been by your girl's side for a long time, and she looks a little bit like her when she talks." ”

"City Lord," Luo Junman greeted him happily, and before he thought of something, he took a step back and bowed his head, "There is still no news." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, whether it was Cui'er, who spoke in high spirits before, or Shao Wenyu, who had a calm face, there was a bit of gloom in his eyes.

As soon as Snow Eagle returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Gateway City, he personally began to assign people from all walks of life to investigate, although these actions were kept secret from the outside world and were silent on the surface, but the pace of search never stopped.

But more than half a month has passed, not only is there no news of Xiaoling and Yunchu, but there is not even a letter, and the people sent out to Sealand and Qibei have sent a book back, and the letter said that nothing has been found.

Whether it is to go to the capital of the lake country, to the north, or to other countries, it is bound to pass through Xilan, and there is no news from the two passages from the southwest to the outside, so that those who miss the two of them and wait for the people waiting in the southwest are somewhat disappointed

Smelling the familiar fragrant breath on Yun Chu's body, I slowly opened my eyes, looked up and saw his sleeping face, I was still subconsciously stunned, and couldn't help but reach out and want to touch his face.

As soon as I moved, Yun Chu, who was hugging me, also opened his eyes and woke up.

Looking at each other, a thought came to my mind, maybe he hadn't fallen asleep, just quietly closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Xiao Ling'er," Yun Chu said in a low voice, "Awake?" How not to sleep a little longer. ”

I looked up at him and said with a wry smile: "I can't even figure out the time, who knows if it's day or night outside." ”

"Maybe, maybe, I slept all night."

The corners of Yun Chu's mouth curved.

Holding his arm, I got down from Yun Chu's legs, and my feet fell on the deck, but I couldn't stand up straight, so I could only support my upper body with my elbows and slowly lift my legs.

Because the passage of this section of the boat is much narrower than the previous one, and the rock wall is not far overhead, if I stand up straight, my head will inevitably hit the rock wall.

A few days ago, I had a false "intuition".

At that time, the boat under us was moving in the passage, and the light in front of us was gradually brightening, and I thought that we were about to reach "another place" as Yun Chu said.

To my disappointment, however, my intuition was not correct.

Because the bright light came from the passage that was now being traversed, and at intervals in the rock wall, there were night pearls illuminating the seemingly endless passage.

That's where the light I saw a few days ago came from.

If I hadn't heard my brother say that there is a small island in Longhai that is rich in night pearls, I would really think that it was all my delusion.

In the Land of the Sea, the priceless pearl of the night in my concept is actually not that expensive, but I was shocked that thousands of orbs appeared at the top of the waterway of such an underground passage in the southwest.

After the initial shock, I slowly began to get used to the fact that the scenery of the underground sewers remained the same, and the boat below me was still heading forward at a near-constant speed.

The pattern of stars on the top of the rock wall of the aqueduct has also become illegible, and I have filtered almost all the stars I know, and now the astrological map looks more complicated.

I asked Yun Chu, but even he couldn't answer.

It's rare to see this almighty young master stumped by the star map, and I want to laugh at him, but I can't care about it.

I couldn't laugh, there was a serious problem in front of us, there were really not many pills left in the bottle.

From the moment he entered the underground passage, Yun Chu's condition was better than outside.

I guess half of it is because what we do nowadays is less physically demanding, and most of the time it's quiet, especially from the boat ride.

On the other hand, in such a simple two-person world, without pressure, his mood looks quite good.

Even so, the bomb lurking on his body always made me worry about what I would do if something happened in a place like this, and I couldn't save him by my ability.

Thinking of this, I moved my body, continued to lean on Yun Chu's arms, pulled the corners of his clothes, and I whispered: "How long will I float on the water like this?" "Everything else is easy to say, but what if you run out of pills, what if you get pain?" I looked at Yun Chudao with a worried expression. "If you can't go to the village in front of you, you can't even see a person, and you can't even see a piece of land." "Do we have any other way out? The other place you mentioned, I always felt very hung in my heart. "If I had known that this would be the case, I would have carried a large box of pills, no, we don't have that much to save, and we still need to refine medicinal herbs." "It's so depressing." "Xiao Ling'er," Yun Chu raised his hand to hold me, his hand gently stroked behind my back, and his tone sounded steady and stable, "Life and death are fate, just let it be." ”

"Besides, I'm the opposite of you."

"Oh," I asked, propping my head out of his arms, "what does it feel?" ”
