The carriage brought by Tairan was still in good condition. The car drove briskly through the dry mountains and rivers, all the way to the west.

Because of excessive blood loss, Tairan was in a coma for the first day. His eyes were closed, but his hand kept holding Yanran's hand. There were a few times when Yanran thought that he had fallen asleep and wanted to break free gently, but he subconsciously tightened and did not allow her to break free. She had no choice but to sit beside him, touching his eyebrows and nose with her hands, touching his hair for the next, and talking to him more freely.

"I was at Jingu Mountain at that time. There are only two people in the Shrine Dao, and they often don't see anyone for months. I was scared at first, but I got used to it. According to the medical books left by the Taoists, they first recognized the herbs, then learned the medicinal properties, and slowly became familiar with various pulses. I was tired of taking my own pulse, so I went to take the pulse of the little monkey, the pulse of the roe deer, and the pulse of the hare. In fact, as long as it is a living animal, it has a pulse, not in the hand, of course, but in the neck. It's interesting. ”

"In my five years at Jinguyama, I have raised two rabbits, four tanuki, and a lot of birds. They were all rescued by Taoists after being injured. There is a tanuki that is the most fun, and after the injury is healed, it will be put back in the mountain, but every time I go out to collect medicine, it will always follow me silently, and a year later it has a significant other, gives birth to children, and then does not show up. ”

"Minglang is actually a very insecure child. Although he has experienced a lot in the outside half a year, he still lacks experience in dealing with the conspiracy of the imperial court. Brother, the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times, I hope he will become more scheming, even ruthless, so that he can live well. But if that's the case, I'll stay away from him......"

She frowned and struggled for a moment, then sighed.

After a long chatter, she was sure that he would hear it, and that it would be a little less painful.

That night in a small town rested. She boiled the medicine, fed him while he was awake, and found the remaining Jinlu Shengxue Pill for Minglang from her own baggage, and gave it to him. Fortunately, he was attentive and carried her baggage with her for more than a month in a coma and did not discard it.

After one night, I was in good spirits and continued the next day. The morning sun shone obliquely through the car window, falling right on the calm half of his face, and the fine fluff was clearly reflected. Yan Ran curled up beside him, one hand still in his hand. The soft couch had been widened, but the two of them were still too crowded, and her small body shrunk into a ball.

She couldn't move, but her head turned sideways, watching the sun caress her pointed chin, creating a soft shadow around her neck.

Yan Ran felt his breathing, and turned her head sideways.

"Brother, I told you to close your eyes and recuperate, why did you open your eyes again!" She nagged dissatisfiedly.

calmly smiled quietly: "I was thinking about your words." ”

"I've said a lot of things, you mean that?"

"You say, I'm your husband......" His eyes were brighter than the sun, "Yanran, I, I just want to know, is this what you say in your heart?" ”

Yan Ran turned around and shyly ignored him.

Calmly stretched out his hand and hooked her waist: "This is the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my life, I want to hear it again!" ”

Yan Ran was afraid that he would have a wound, so she had to turn around again and say, "If you want to hear it, you should heal your wound first." I don't want to say that to a patient. ”

Calmly couldn't suppress his joy, and only knew how to nod.

In the afternoon, he finally got out of the border of Qizhou. Yanran sighed: "Today is the twenty-first day of the lunar month. Brother, we're just afraid we're going to spend this year outside. ”

Tairan was very calm: "Okay." This is the first time we have celebrated the New Year together. ”

As long as you are together, no matter where you spend the New Year, it's good.

He remembered that when he brought Yanran to Tianqian, he saw a village on the border between Chimelong and Tianqian, with mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery, and he was a little moved at that time. Now I might as well spend the New Year there.

He told Yan Ran his thoughts, and Yan Ran naturally had no objections.

Anyway, they were not in a hurry, they stayed all the way day and night, and on the twenty-ninth Chinese New Year's Eve of the lunar month, they came to the border village called "Wanqing Village". In fact, it is still in the territory of Tianqian. Calmly decided to stay here and leave after the New Year.

By this time, his wound had scabbed over and he was halfway healed.

The carriage walked along a clean gravel road for a while, and saw several houses. They are all small grass houses, with a fence yard shaded by green trees in front of the door, and a vegetable garden behind the house. The village is backed by a winding mountain beam, and a stream runs around the village in front. A quiet and tranquil idyllic scene.

Yan Ran got out of the car calmly, slowly paced to the door of a house, called a few times, and a young woman wearing a blue cloth jacket opened the door.

When she learned of her intentions, the young woman said that there were many empty houses here, and that they could live in them. Because this Wanqing Village is very close to Sheqiao Town on the border of Chimelong, the young people in the village all went to the town to do business, and after earning money, they simply bought a house there. Therefore, as soon as the New Year passes, the old people in Wanqing Village go to the children of Sheqiao Town to celebrate the New Year, and there are many empty houses.

The young woman chose a small room with the door facing east for them, and gave the key to the door to Yanran. Yan Ran hurriedly took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the young woman's hand, the young woman had never seen so much money, she was surprised and delighted, and accepted it half on the spot.

The sword picked up the book and drove the carriage into the courtyard. Yan Ran opened the door and saw that although the room was small, the hall and kitchen were clean. There are two bedrooms, although simple, but the sheets and quilts are very dry, presumably just sunbathed.

The four of them cleaned up the house, and the young woman brought a lot of rice, flour, and firewood, enough for them to eat for five or six days.

That night, the servant picked up the book and boiled rice porridge, and took out the wine, flesh and fruit prepared by Xue Linglong for them from the car, and made a few side dishes. The four of them had a comfortable dinner. Yanran boiled medicine again, boiled hot water, and the four of them washed up. Shi Jian picked up the book and went to sleep, and calmly and Yanran sat in front of the window looking at the stars.

Yan Ran has no concept of the New Year, after all, she was still young in the palace when she was a child, and her impression was vague, and then she was in Jingu Mountain for five years, where it was deserted all year round, and she never knew what it was like to celebrate the New Year. Tairan was sad, so he told him about the New Year's customs:

The Chinese New Year is to remove the old and welcome the new, so it is necessary to dust and sweep and pay tribute to the ancestors. To steam steamed buns, make pastries, and prepare for a New Year's meal. To make new clothes and shoes to wear, adults should give red envelopes to children. It is necessary to light lanterns and light cannons. Hearing this, Yan Ran was fascinated and said, "It's a pity that we live in a foreign land and can't do many things. ”

looked at her calmly and smiled: "Brother won't let you down, I must give you a happy year!" ”

After talking, the chill deepened, and he calmly urged him to sleep. There was only one bed, and he calmly said, "I'll just sleep at your feet, so that everyone can be warm." ”

Yan Ran hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. Along the way, the two often slept on the couch of the carriage during the day. She is afraid of the cold, and after he was injured, the qi and blood in his body were damaged, and he was also afraid of the cold, so there was no need to be hypocritical at this time.

calmly took off his coat, went to bed to cover the quilt first, and then Yanran got into the quilt at his feet and lay down. Calmly wrapped her cold feet around her and held them in her arms. Yan Ran was worried about his injury, so she struggled hard, but she couldn't break free, so she went with him.

The body was warm, sleepiness hit, yawned a few times, and fell into a deep sleep.

Calmly stroked her feet slowly, smiling contentedly with her eyes closed.

When the sun rose on Chinese New Year's Eve, Yan Ran was still asleep. Last night, the quilt was dry, the bed was soft, and her feet were warm, so that her tiredness and tiredness for many days seemed to be released, and she didn't know how to wake up until dawn. After getting up calmly, she practiced internal skills and danced the sword, and when she came in, she had not woken up, her hair was unkempt from sleep, her face was ruddy, and half of her shoulders were leaking outside, revealing a snow-white neck under the disheveled clothes. His eyes kept on him, his heart jumped rapidly, and he hurriedly turned around and looked out the window.

was hesitating to wake her up, but Yanran woke up on her own.

After a long stretch, he squinted for a moment before remembering where this was. Seeing that the sun was bright, he hurriedly got up and got out of bed, complaining that he was calm and did not wake her up. Tairan wrapped her in clothes: "Get dressed and get up again, it's cold outside!" ”

After breakfast, the four of them drove the carriage and went to Sheqiao Town to buy New Year's supplies in the direction pointed out by the young woman. It's only half an hour's journey away, and it's a very lively town, with all kinds of shops and a lot of people. They left the carriage at an inn and went out into the streets.

They shopped as they shopped, and soon all four of them had large bags and small bags in their arms. I bought a jar of local rice wine in the wine shop, bought a few seasonal vegetables, cut three catties of beef, and a roast goose. weighed all kinds of melons and fruits, went to the firecracker workshop to buy two boxes of firecrackers, and went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy a new set of clothes for each of the four people. When she turned around, Yanran stopped at a jewelry store, stared at a flower-branch-shaped hairpin a few more times, and calmly took out the silver and bought it. provoked Yanran to rejoice and blame him for spending money indiscriminately. The carriages were packed to the brim, and it was only at noon that they returned home.

When I got home, I unloaded the things from the carriage and went down to the kitchen with my sleeves folded up. Yan Ran followed very strangely, she couldn't imagine what Gao Hua's cold Prince Xie looked like when she went to the kitchen, but calmly pushed her out of the kitchen door. She had no choice but to sit in the afternoon sun and bask in the sun, listening to the sound of tuk tuk chopping vegetables from the kitchen, smelling the smell of meat in her nose, and feeling a sense of peace and stability in her body.
