The next evening, we docked at the Fengtucheng ferry port in Chenzhou, and more than 30 people were waiting for us on the shore.

I sat in two carriages with Doctor Sun, and the maids who sat in the carriage and accompanied me were the two that Yang Xiuyi left at the foot of Wangyun Cliff Mountain, one was called Shan Meng, and the other was called Lin Huan, and the latter was the one who played the flute so much that people wanted to die.

There is nothing to say all the way, the autumn flowers outside the window are elegant, plain and bright, there are occasional streams and rivers, and you can see the fish jumping out of the water happily.

An hour later, at dusk and the moon was thousands of miles, we entered Changxin, the capital of Chenzhou.

Tomorrow night is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and tonight the streets are full of laughter and laughter, and the shops are all lit up, and the hawkers are pushing all kinds of snacks back and forth. The whole city is hung with countless lanterns, and the bright and flickering points of light are like light jade pots, which coat those sons and beauties who travel together and frolic with each other with a warm and pleasant jade color.

After turning a street corner, there is a large lakeside square, which is crowded with people and bright lights, and our motorteam stops along the edge of the square at an inn called "Shuipingju".

The room prepared for me was large and well-furnished, with many pastries and fruits on the table, and six little maids were waiting in the room with a pile of silk and satin. I took one of them and sent them away, and the bath room was a small separate hall, with a bucket full of warm water with many petals floating in it. After washing, I came out, and the maids gathered next door were lying by the window laughing and laughing:

"Wow! Look at that lamp, that lamp is beautiful! ”

"Over there, over there! The one that Miss Green is carrying! It's not like the one sent to me by the government last year! ”

"I really want to go down and play."

……

I don't seem to have spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in the city, if it was before, I would have rushed downstairs, but now, I really don't have such a mind.

Sit down in front of the desk, raise your hand to grind, and reply to Master. The voices of the group of maids gradually quieted down, and then a little maid asked crisply: "Sister Shanmeng, you are from the capital, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital must be more lively than below, right?" ”

"Of course! The house must be lively now, I don't know if we have any rewards and lanterns to receive when we go back, I really envy them like songs, and I don't have to come out. ”

"What do you still say, Ruge originally rushed here, and you died by the young master's side, now it's okay, it's comfortable to feed the mosquitoes at the foot of the mountain?"

"If you also say me, the mosquitoes will bite me and I won't bite you, and I'll be angry."

"Sister Shanmeng, is that beauty next door the young master's sweetheart?"

"She doesn't look like Lin Huan Ruge at all, it shouldn't be, but the young master likes her so much, and he kissed her that day."

"Wow! That's the new love! It turns out that the young master likes this. ”

"Cut, she is the same as that Sun Shen Doctor, yin and yang are weird, and the two of them are not easy to get along with."

……

After a pause, I twisted my eyebrows, thought about it for a while, or forget it, I must not scold them, I can beat them, but it depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention a few living maids. As they say, yin and yang are weird, and I admit that I am neither male nor female.

After writing the letter, let the paper crane go, and the letter reassured the master, don't talk about blood, it is life, as long as he wants me to offer it with both hands. The tone was as cheerful and playful as possible, wanting to pull him back from the distance, so the letter that could be finished in just a few lines was written by me for three or four pages, such as "There is a money bank and grain bank in this world, and I will be Sun Jiatong's blood bank from today onwards." "You put a hundred hearts, from now on, I only eat red dates, longan, bean cakes, and ejiao every day, you are a drunkard, I am a blood ghost, people are rice buckets, and I am blood buckets." ”…… At the end of writing, I wanted to write a sentence begging him not to let the old man want me, but fortunately I couldn't bear it, first, it affected the style of writing too much, and second, it gave him a long face.

Leaning on the edge of the window lattice, the moonlight outside the window fell on me, its cold and steep appearance, and the laughter and chanting in the square seemed so incompatible.

Raise your eyes to look at the distant mountains, by the moonlight of a piece of translucent, imagine that at this time on the cloud cliff should be a bamboo forest plum branches dancing together, the clear spring and the bright moon, the fairyland of the world, beautiful.

There was a knock on the door, and I didn't look back: "Come in." ”

"Girl."

I looked at the bright lanterns in the square: "If you want to go down and play, you can go, I didn't stop you." ”

She smiled and said, "But I want Miss to go with me." ”

I looked back, the little girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, her appearance was not beautiful, she couldn't even talk about being beautiful, but her eyes were dark and bright, and she was very spiritual.

She laughed again, and said with crooked eyebrows: "The girl is so beautiful, better than any woman Ju'er has ever seen, if you don't go out to play, it's like a pearl stuffed in a box, and you can't shine." And the girl is wearing this dress now, and the waist is so good, she must go out to make people envious. ”

I lowered my head, it was a green brocade light flower waist skirt, embroidered with pearl-colored moire trim, the clothes were really good-looking, but I didn't know what I looked like when I wore it, I looked at her: "My waist, is it really good?" ”

"Yes, the young master must like it too, right?"

Yang Xiuyi......

The sullen mood disappeared at once, I pursed my lips, but I couldn't help but smile: "Your mouth is so powerful, I want to have half of you." ”

She smiled and said, "Girl, let's go down, it's very lively, you see, Doctor Sun is down there!" ”

Looking down, she was really there, and now I didn't want to go, so I shook my head: "Don't go." ”

She sent someone to find her, and a little maid knocked on the door: "Girl, Doctor Sun invites you to go down." ”

I blew with a headache, and I couldn't say why, but I didn't want to get along with her in every way.

Reluctantly walked out of the inn, she stood by the lake with a jade rabbit lantern, surrounded by lampstands, obscuring the moonlight and reflecting the bright light of the lake.

She was still in the same outfit as she had been in the daytime, and the silver needles under her hat did not know whether to relieve pain or slow down the poison, and when she heard my voice, she turned her head slightly, and then ordered a few maids behind her to play elsewhere.

Jue'er followed me, pointing to those Changxin specialty lanterns all the way to introduce them to me one by one, and when she arrived at Doctor Sun's side, Doctor Sun looked back at Doctor: "Are you very idle?" ”

Ju'er was stunned: "Huh? ”

"If it's all right, you can go over there and play with those maids."

"But I'm going to accompany ......"

Doctor Sun said coldly, "Don't you understand my words? ”

I glanced at her in surprise, and then looked back at Jue'er, who had a mouth, and quietly glanced at her when she turned around, and vaguely heard the sneer of a group of little maids over there: "She wants to go to the capital and wants to go crazy, right?" ”

"What a stinky sycophant, this stammering is really diligent."

"You deserve it, it's not fun to ask for yourself."

……

"I don't want you to go back tomorrow." Doctor Sun's slender fingers flicked the wick in the lantern and said lightly.

I regained my thoughts and nodded: "Don't worry, I will always be with you." ”

"No, I just need you to help me solve a few formations, and I won't delay you too much."

…… Do you want me to help, or do you want me to pay off my debt?

I didn't speak, but quietly looked at her lantern, the candlelight was already flickering and dimming.

"But," she paused, and raised her head, "I didn't tell Senior Yuzun and Uncle Feng the truth, I just said that I wanted you to send me to Shangchun City, they meant that you would leave for you to go back tomorrow, but I hope you can get rid of those maids and dark people." ”

I was stunned: "You don't know the content of the letter?" ”

"Do you think I'm going to peek, I don't know."

I bit my lip and wanted to beat her, but to my surprise, Master didn't tell her about the blood exchange, so what should I say?

She continued: "I can't think of a good way, you help me break the formation and go back, there is always someone to protect me on the way, how can I get rid of them, and not completely get rid of them?" ”

I glanced at her, looked back at the stone bridge over the lake, and said lightly, "I want to think about it." ”

It's a different thing in my head.

Chenzhou Shangchun, although I haven't been there, I still have some understanding of it.

It is known as the mud house of the earthen pond in ancient times, the land is barren, depressed and desolate, although the city covers a wide area, the number of people is very small, less than one-third of Xuancheng, and it is nicknamed the Handong wilderness again. However, more than 60 years ago, a county official came here to take office, and ingeniously turned it into a mysterious ancient city with rich cultural heritage, attracting many scholars and scholars and visiting guests, so there are many inns and restaurants in the city.

In such a city, what would be worth running over when Doctor Sun was dying?

But there are too many things to ask her, including Qu Hao, including Song Xian. I didn't want to talk to her more, if I didn't resist hitting her suddenly, I was afraid that I would be beaten to death by the master.

At this time, I found that I was about to split, on the one hand, I respected her and admired her, but on the other hand, I felt that it was very awkward and unnatural to get along with her. The yin and yang weirdness that those maids said, I suddenly experienced it from her. Maybe it's because she's too unhappy, or maybe it's because the silver needles on her face are dense and seeping into me, anyway, this kind of temperament can only be seen from a distance, not up close.

But in fact, I have seen her laugh, six years ago at Xiaotong Station, when she and Miss You, and another man were gossiping about things in Hongru Square, and her eyes were as bright as apricots when she smiled. And when she left the city, she treated the eighteenth injury, although she was cold as ice at that time, but it gave me the feeling that at least flesh and blood......

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a familiar name, I raised my eyebrows, and my mind passed through the mottled painting boats and gorgeous lanterns all over the lake, and stopped in a lakeside tea pot on the opposite bank.

Two men sat by the window, one in a military uniform, a swordsman look, and the other with a feather fan and a crown, dressed as a strategist.

The swordsman took a sip of tea: "...... Danqing Mansion is really panicked, and even such a small role as You Xixi has to start, and Zhan Mingtang didn't speak? ”

The strategist sneered: "Lonely and unheard, Zhan Mingtang still cares about her?" She followed behind Sun Jiatong a while ago, and the two went around asking for money like dogs, but Zhan Mingtang refused to come out, and broke up early. ”

"I heard that Sun Jiatong is dead, do you know who killed him?"

The strategist picked up the teacup and didn't drink it, just dangled it in his fingers: "I don't know, is it important who kills, the key is to grab her head." If you have some free time, you might as well try it, and take it to Danqing Mansion to exchange it for three hundred taels of silver. ”

"Then ...... over there in Spring City"

"I advise you not to make up for that excitement, the latest news, Fu Zhang also went."

"Fu Zhang?" The swordsman was obviously surprised, "Didn't you hear that he has been haunting the Cheongju area recently?" Why did you run to the spring? ”

"Wouldn't it be better to go, Yun Sanling is painting Zhuling and there is no news, there are no bones, I don't believe that his Fu Zhang's ability can be higher than him." Saying that, he smiled coldly, "Now the people who are famous in the rivers and lakes are rushing there, and when this batch is dead and the rivers and lakes are reshuffled, maybe it will be the day when you and I will show our ambitions, haha!" ”

Yun Sanling, I frowned, Ziming Mountain Yun Sanling?

The swordsman shook his head: "No, I must go this time." ”

"You?" The strategist was silent for a long time, put down the teacup, and said in a cold voice, "It's okay, you are busy sending you to death, I won't stop you." ”

"Big brother, are you angry?"

"If you are still my eldest brother, you will follow the list of Guangcui Pavilion to receive the bounty one by one, don't go to the painting to build a mountain and wade into troubled waters, even if you get it by luck, it will only bring bad luck!"

……

Shangchun City painted a ridge.

I turned my head to look at Doctor Sun, she played with the lantern in her hand lightly, could it be that she was going to go there?

I thought about it, turned around and called for Jiao'er, the little girl hurriedly ran over, I whispered a few words in her ear, she looked at me stunned: "Ah? ”

I put on a straight face: "Go!" ”rs
