In the twilight, Sun Guan put down the scriptures in his hand and got up.

"Master, are you going to the Taiping Palace tonight?" The boy asked.

"I'll just live there." Sun Guan said, "You are optimistic about the lights, as dry as today. ”

The boy replied while carrying the lantern himself.

The mountain road bends, and a little dim light goes up.

The Taiping Palace is still the Taiping Palace, and the one who opened the door with a squeak is still the Taoist boy.

According to the habit, she went to Cheng Jianniang's residence in person.

"Did you wipe it today?" She asked.

"I've wiped it, and the flowers in this room are still new." Dao Tong said.

Sun Guan nodded.

"Remember to be like this every day, so that there will be popularity in the house, lest the lady come back and live badly." She said.

Dao Tong responded, and felt that it was a little unnecessary in his heart, the lady just left, how could she come back so quickly, let alone be picked up by her grandfather's family.

"Master, will the lady come back?" She couldn't help but ask.

The Cheng family treats her like this, it is not appropriate to be taken in by her grandfather's family, what do you want to do when you come back.

Sun Guan didn't speak.

I haven't felt anything about the existence of this lady for decades, and I'm here for only two months, and then I'll be empty when I disappear.

It's like losing the backbone.

A daughter who was abandoned by the Cheng family and raised in a Taoist temple was actually regarded by her as the backbone, and it was funny to say that she was gone.

Lord Sun Guan smiled and shook his head.

"She can't come back, it's all her home." She said.

Dao Tong sighed, that's the same. This Taiping Palace is the property of the Cheng family in the end.

The master and apprentice turned around and closed the door and came out, and there was a knock on the mountain gate outside.

"Master. The people from the Taoist Temple of Baoyuan Mountain sent a letter. ”

Baoyuan Mountain Taoist Temple?

Lord Sun Guan was stunned, so late? What's wrong?

In the room, Sun Guan read the letter with the nearest lamp. The expression is complicated.

"Didn't I say that these two children have a lot of eyes, so let you pay more attention and watch?" She said, sighing.

"Yes, I was attentive at first, but these two children are very honest, they are serious in their homework, and they are hard-working, and they don't say how pitiful and down-to-earth their background is. Just..."The person who came was also a middle-aged Taoist girl, and also sighed and said, "Who would have thought that he would suddenly run away and steal the incense money in the temple, which is our savings for the winter." ”

"Well deserved." Lord Sun Guan said angrily, "Don't expect me to give you our money for the winter. ”

The middle-aged Dao Gu smiled, with a bit of ridicule.

"Uncle Shi, my master didn't mean that, he just came to talk to you." She said.

Sun Guan snorted.

"I don't know what your master's mind is." She said. Speaking of this, he sighed again, "How far can two children run in the middle of the night?" Have you all looked for it? ”

"I've found it, I've found it for hundreds of miles, and there is no shadow at all. It's really strange, or it was taken by a wolf. The middle-aged Dao Gu said.

Sun Guan looked at the letter in his hand and didn't speak, wondering whether to hand over a letter to Cheng Jianniang. I also thought that I didn't leave an address when I left, and I couldn't deliver a letter.

"It's not too early. You go to the bottom of the mountain to rest first, and then run. There is no other way, it's not us who drive them away, but they have to leave by themselves, life and death. She said.

The middle-aged Dao Gu replied yes.

"Uncle Shi." She thought of something and stood still, with a somewhat flattering smile, "I heard that your dim sum here is very famous, why don't I take some when I leave, so that we can also promote it over there?" ”

Lord Sun Guan snorted, with a look of knowing what you were thinking.

"No, no, no, no, we are a Taoist temple, not a dim sum shop, what to promote." She said.

The night is deep and the mountain breeze is gusting.

In the dark night, two small figures trudged with difficulty.

"Sister, I can't walk."

"If you can't walk, you have to walk."

"Sister, where are we going?"

"Go to places that will make those who don't want us regret it."

When two lanterns were finally seen in the night, the convoy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lady, lady, it's time at the station." The maidservant said happily, looking at the woman wrapped in a brocade quilt in the carriage.

"It's already so late, it's better to just hurry." Steward Cao and Fourth Master Chen said.

Chen Siye was naturally willing, when they came, they were like this day and night, and they took this woman on the return trip much slower.

"Go and talk to the lady." He said.

"Me?" Steward Cao hurriedly waved his hand, "It's better for the fourth master, you can go." ”

Along the way, Steward Cao almost never appeared in front of Cheng Jianniang, Master Chen Si naturally saw it, and then thought of the things in the Taoist Temple, he naturally could see that this Cheng Jianniang didn't like Steward Cao, or didn't like the Zhou family?

"Our lady has been eccentric since she was a child, and she listened to our old lady, who was taken care of by her old family since childhood." Steward Cao sighed casually.

Master Chen Si sighed, this child was taken care of by Mrs. Zhou, it should be very close to the Zhou family, the patients are weird, this lady is weird by nature.

He turned to the carriage and said.

"How? Too tired? How can you stand it? The handmaid objected at once.

She can't stand the bumps in the carriage after sitting in a healthy body for so long, not to mention Cheng Jiaoniang's poor body.

Fourth Master Chen looked at Cheng Jianniang, and he knew who was the one who spoke.

"Lady, my father's condition is really—" he said apologetically.

"The faster, the slower." Cheng Jianniang said.

"If you want to hurry, you can't get there." The maidservant nodded, looked at the fourth master Chen and said, "My lady is tired, and when she gets there, she can't take care of your father's illness." ”

That's right, Fourth Master Chen nodded.

"I was negligent, forgive me." He said.

Decided to stop and rest, a group of people went to the post station lively, but they didn't expect that in the middle of the night, the post station was even more lively than their side.

It was a dilapidated inn in disrepair, and the yard was full of carriages and horses, mostly transporting goods, and the air was mixed with all kinds of strange smells.

"Go out, go out, there is no place, people are going to die, and they can't live in." Two chubby postmen were driving away four or five men.

Four or five men carried a door panel, on which one was covered with a quilt, and was driven away by the post, and the men all cursed.

"What? Do you, deserters who can't defeat the thieves, want to be powerful with us? Yi Cheng scolded.

"You thief!"

These words were like a stab in the hearts of these men, and they immediately blushed and raised their fists.

"Hugh is going to make trouble, and he is not wrong." A man shouted, stopping the others, and glancing at the poster, "We're just going to rest outside for the night." ”

"Big brother, but third brother, he's sick," the other man said, his voice choked up.

The man didn't speak, but looked here.

Here, Master Chen's carriage and horse drove in, with a tall horse, brocade clothes and jade belts, and he knew that it was extraordinary at a glance.

The Yicheng, who was observant of his words, immediately smiled and took it.

"Official, do you live in a hotel?" They greeted warmly.

Steward Cao took out the post coupon, and when he saw the bright red official seal of the Kyoto Military Garrison on it, the post man almost nodded his head to the ground.

In a small place like theirs, where have they seen such high-ranking officials from the capital, they itch with joy.

"It's not enough to go to the house."

"It's not enough to get rid of all the vendors."

The post station was suddenly full of people turning over on their backs.

The men who had already lit the bonfire outside looked at them coldly, and some of them spat heavily.

"It's really a different life!" He said.

"Big brother, third brother can't do it." A man shouted, looking at the man under the quilt on the door.

A group of people surrounded them, but they were helpless, and finally bowed their heads and wept.

"Human life is destined by God, accept it." The man at the head muttered, but his expression was extremely pathetic, and his hands were clenched tightly.

Who wants to accept fate! Who wants to accept fate! How! How!

"Human life, really, is destined." A female voice sounded, "This sick man, you have met me, it is really, really, a good life." ”

What the?

There was a lot of noise in the post station, and several carriages followed, one of which happened to stop here, as if waiting for the inside to be packed up before entering, at this time the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and it seemed that a woman looked at it in the dark night.
