When Gu Chaoge walked in the mountains and mountains, looking up at the lush canopy of trees that did not see the light of day, and under his feet were thick deciduous vines, and a faint mist was permeating the forest. Sometimes you turn your head to the left to see the cliffs, and the mist rises from the clear pool below the cliffs, while on the right is the high slope, and you have to stretch your neck to see the bare rocks at the top of the slope and the hovering birds.

"Ahh

Suddenly, Gu Chaoge sneezed. She rubbed her nose, thinking that maybe the smell of the herbs she had just picked on the side of the road was irritating her nose, so she just rubbed it.

"Sneeze, sneeze!"

She sneezed three more times in quick succession.

Lao Wu, who was walking in front, turned around: "Girl, is it cold?" "There is a big difference between hot and cold in the mountains, and things are not complete, in case Gu Chaoge's small body really has a fever and cough, he is not worried that she will not be able to cure herself, but he is worried that he will delay the time to go to the next town, and he will not be able to ask the informant to send a letter to Yi Cui.

You must know that since entering the area where Xiangxi and Guizhou meet, one mountain is connected to another, and it is rare to see big towns, let alone find informants. It had been a long time since he had delivered a message to Yi Cui, and Lao Wu was particularly worried...... The money for your future pension will be deducted.

"Sneeze, sneeze!"

Gu Chaoge pinched her nose and covered her mouth, she was sure that her body was great, so could it be that someone was cursing her?

Well...... I can't talk about the curse, but in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away, there are indeed people who are remembering her, and at the same time they are haunted by the fact that the sachet hanging on the waist of another person is better than his.

Chu Dongyuan led the fleet to clean up the Liukou in the Taihu Lake basin before returning to Suzhou to report to Yan Zhao. When he learned from Yan Zhao that his junior sister had left Suzhou a few months earlier to look for some mysterious medical technique in the west, he was shocked.

"She's not hiding from me, is she?" Chu Dongyuan rushed out, Yan Zhao felt strange and asked the reason, but Chu Dongyuan refused to say. He didn't know that Gu Chaoge was traveling west for Yi Cui's leg, and he thought that his junior sister was just unhappy because he suddenly proposed to marry her that night, or was embarrassed to see him, so he found an excuse to leave.

"Alas, why should she be like this, no matter whether she refuses or agrees, I will treat her as a junior sister, and this friendship will not change no matter what."

Yan Zhao listened to Chu Dongyuan's self-talk in confusion, and vaguely felt that he had misunderstood something. However, after all, the relationship between Chu Dongyuan and him did not reach the point of talking about everything, and it was inconvenient for him to correct it, so he had to hand over the sachet made by Gu Chaoge to him with the intention of completing the entrustment quickly.

Chu Dongyuan took over this handiwork of navy blue and gold, and his eyes caught a glimpse of the three words "Chu Dongyuan" embroidered by the little tear bag himself, and his whole face lit up, and he smiled: "I knew that my sister was not angry with me, she was worried about me!" Thank you, Mr. Higashigaki! He happily hung up the sachet, hugged his fists and thanked Yan Zhao before saluting and leaving. Yan Zhao wanted to stop him and tell him that Gu Chaoge had made a purse for Yi Cui, but looking at Ai Jiang's elated back, he felt that why bother him by saying this.

Chu Dongyuan was going to stay in Suzhou for a few days before rectifying the navy, and Yan Zhao thought that there should be no problems between him and Yi Cui. After all, it's just two handmade items, isn't it......

Chu Dongyuan and Yi Cui have completely different personalities, and the way the guide gets along with them is also completely different. Even though there was a striking pink spider purse tied next to Yi Cui's family heirloom jade pendant, some people were curious, but no one dared to ask why. Everyone thinks that Master Yi always has his reason for doing things, and since he doesn't say it, then don't ask if you're bored.

As for Chu Dongyuan, he wants to show off the sachet on his waist when he meets people, and he clearly hopes that people will praise him. Everyone knows that General Chu is not a person who can wear incense, he has a face of "come and ask me who made this sachet", everyone is "kind as flowing", some ask who gave this sachet so exquisite, and those who are familiar directly ask if it was given by Dr. Gu. Chu Dongyuan usually doesn't say it first, and when a few people in front of him guess it, he proudly announces: "It was embroidered by my junior sister herself, and the spices in the bag are her unique secret recipe to dispel evil and help righteousness!" ”

With Chu Dongyuan's high-profile way of acting, in less than two days, all the Yan Zhao staff and generals inside and outside Suzhou City knew that the sachet embroidered with the name that General Chu wore was a gift from his sister who was traveling west.

And when everyone chats, for the sake of gossip, someone will listen to it, and they will add oil and vinegar, saying that it is a token of affection from Dr. Gu to her senior brother.

As for the pink purse that appeared earlier and looked more high-key, no one cared about it.

It's really ......

Angry liver pain.

Every time I see Chu Dongyuan, I feel that it is special, special, and very eye-catching.

But it is not Yi Cui's style to behave like Chu Dongyuan and show off his purse. And ask yourself, the weird spider purse on his waist is indeed not as good-looking as the mainstream sachet of Chu Dongyuan.

So, I-sama's liver hurts even more.

Chu Dongyuan didn't know that every time he saw Yi Cui sweeping the sachet on his waist, his expression was very ugly, and he thought he was envious of himself.

Until today, everyone is deliberating, and Yi Cui's habitual action of stroking something is repeated countless times, and finally attracts Chu Dongyuan's attention.

When he dispersed, he took a closer look at the purse tied next to Yi Cui Yupei, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Lord Yi, why is your purse pink, or a spider pattern, it's really ......" ugly.

Chu Dongyuan swallowed the last two words into his stomach stiffly, and said with a smile: "It's really chic, Master Yi's taste is different." ”

As everyone knows, he took the initiative to ask, and finally let Yi Cui find an outlet, he smiled slightly, and made a pun: "Given by Miss Gu, this pattern ...... Probably because she likes spiders. ”

Chu Dongyuan was stunned: "Who did you say sent it?" ”

Yi Cui's smile was even bigger: "It was given by General Chu's junior sister." ”

may be because of the back-and-forth between these two people today, Gu Chaoge, who is thousands of miles away, will sneeze again and again.

The water flowing down from the mountain stream converges into a small pool in this depression, and I don't know who embedded the small pit that was originally a mud depression with round pebbles, making the water of the small pool very clear. Gu Chaoge squatted by the pond to wash his face, looked at the smoke rising not far ahead, and smiled: "Uncle Wu, it seems that we are not far from that village, right?" ”

Uncle Wu glanced at the wisps of smoke in the dense forest, and poured a burning knife: "It's not far, it's not close, the vegetation here is too dense, it's not easy to estimate the distance." It doesn't look far, and it's not easy to actually walk. ”

Gu Chaoge took another handful of clear and clear pool water, but this time she felt as if something had slipped between her fingers, she subconsciously glanced down and said in surprise: "Uncle Wu, there are fish!" ”

"Fish?!" Uncle Wu was also very happy, and the fish in the pool meant that they could have extra meals in the evening. But when he saw that it was just a thumb-sized fish, in addition to the bells and whistles, it was written all over the body that it was not delicious without meat, and he suddenly lost interest: "Such a small one, it is not enough to stuff between the teeth." ”

"But it's so good-looking, it comes in three colors: yellow, white, and blue!" Gu Chaoge counted the stripes on its body while trying to reach out to catch it: "Why didn't you see it just now, it must have swam down the mountain stream!" ”

As she was talking, there was a sudden "plop", and a small stone fell from the sky and splashed into the pool, and the water splashed everywhere. Gu Chaoge was too close to the pond, her eyes were in the water, she subconsciously closed her eyes, and then another stone fell down, just hitting Gu Chaoge's body.

"Who!" Lao Wu picked up the firewood knife, got up and shouted: "Come out!" ”

"You are not allowed to touch my flowers!"

It sounded like a child's voice, with anger in the air. Gu Chaoge rubbed his astringent eyes, and slowly opened them, a young man with a turban was standing on a big stone in the pool, his clothes and hands and feet were short, and he looked strange.

He was holding on to a nearby tree in one hand and a few rocks in the other. He had probably seen them from the bushes and had rocked them into the pool.

It's about two feet away, and his technique is very precise.

Gu Chaoge thought like this, and pointed to the small fish swimming around in the pool: "It's called Huahua?" ”

"Yes!" Obviously he was a teenager, but he made a childish childish sound, he jumped down angrily, staggered, he ran over and pushed Gu Chaoge away, picked up the "Huahua" with a wooden barrel, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." It's very strange, although this young man tried to push her hard, but his strength was not very great, Gu Chaoge automatically let go, otherwise he couldn't push at all. His limbs were not flexible, as if he was not yet adapted to his current body. Gu Chaoge stopped the young man and wanted to ask the young man about the situation in the nearby village, but the young man just hugged the wooden barrel vigilantly and said angrily: "Don't eat flowers!" You're the bad guys, you're all the bad guys! "Pull your legs and run.

Like a child being angry.

Inexplicably, Gu Chaoge felt that there was a sense of disobedience in this young man. Somehow, she suddenly had an idea and shouted, "I have maltose, it's so sweet, do you want to eat one?" ”

"Maltose?" The young man's eyes showed longing: "Is it the sweet, yellow, crunchy sugar that the Han people in the town sell?" ”

"yes, that's it." Gu Chaoge nodded again and again, took out a piece of candy from the pouch he was carrying, hooked his fingers at the young man like a bad mother-in-law who abducted and sold children, and smiled sweetly: "It's delicious, you can taste it." I didn't know it was your fish, would it be okay to apologize to you with maltose? ”

The young man hesitated, he was afraid, but he couldn't resist the huge temptation of candy, malt candy was a rare reward for children living in the mountains, he couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and moved step by step in the direction of Gu Chaoge. The boy didn't know that when his eyes were fixed on the maltose, the old man who stood aside and didn't speak quietly took out the rope from his bosom and made a rope noose. When the boy approached, his back was close in front of him, Lao Wu jumped up, suddenly attacked, and the rope sleeve flicked around the young man, tying his body and two hands.

"Uncle Wu!" Gu Chaoge exclaimed.

"Let go of me, help, help!" The boy fell to the ground and struggled. Lao Wu approached and smiled: "Girl, this is a child of the Yi tribe, what do you want to ask, just ask now, he can't run away." ”

"Uncle Wu......" Gu Chaoge was weak: "If you do this, let his parents see it, and he must retaliate against you." "The village in the deep mountains can be wary of outsiders, Uncle Wu is experienced, how could he make such a mistake.

"I don't think so." Lao Wu grabbed the rope and let the young man struggle. He sat down cross-legged on the spot, reached out and pinched the boy's bones by the way, and smiled: "Girl, didn't you find out that this child is sick?" ”
