Chapter 81: The Station

() Yizhou is located in the north of Liuzhou, near Kyoto, from the Xifeng official road all the way north, if you ride a horse, plus the rest time, it is not difficult to arrive in six days.

It's a pity I don't know how to ride a horse. Yang Xiuyi sent someone to arrange two simple and comfortable carriages, he and I shared one, and Feng Shuchun and Xiangzhu squeezed them behind. The coachmen were four young men, of ordinary appearance, but with a tall and burly figure, strong and powerful, and at first glance they were extraordinary.

Now it is April, the climate is comfortable, neither hot nor cold, flowers bloom all over the road, the scenery is bright, the mountains and rivers and green willows fly by, a lush and secluded.

I lifted the curtain and looked back at Xuancheng, she stood still, farther and farther away from me, and finally turned into an ink dot, looming in the green mountains and clouds, until it faded away, and became one with heaven and earth. The indescribable sigh in my heart was stunned, the tranquil life of the past three months or so was like turning the pages of a book in front of me, without the control of the master, carefree, sleeping when I wanted to sleep every day, and eating when I wanted to. I am very familiar with the shops and hawkers around me, and when I go shopping, I always give more and charge less.

In those days, I rarely went out, and when I went out, I mostly ran to the storyteller, listening to stories, eating melon seeds, and blowing the lake breeze. Mr. Hu's long shirt is folded into a fan, and I often look at his upturned mustache, followed by his charming deep voice, into the world he describes. He is a ventriloquist, very good at rendering the atmosphere, can affect the listener's feelings, and influence our joy and anger, and his skills are extremely high. Sometimes the lakeside will be very lively, many aristocratic sons and daughters will hold book clubs there, chant poems, taste words, dress up all solemn and exquisite, compete for beauty, and occupy all the flowers. After that, even a casual plain dress will become popular in Xuancheng. I admire these literati and talented women, who often love to crowd in the crowd and applaud and cheer with everyone, among which I remember the poem of a son: "The green willow is weak and supports the wind, and the jade shadow is as light as a hong." Su Su slender can be held, graceful and beautiful Su Hibiscus. "I can't remember the bold words that have the world in mind and are full of energy, nor can I remember the prosperous rhetoric of singing the praises of mountains and rivers and singing the prosperous times, and I can't remember the gorgeous rhetoric of leaning on the red and green. I memorize this song alone and recite it often.

Xuancheng is an ancient city in my eyes, if a graceful woman, standing at the lakeside bridge of the early snow of Ruixue, a smile is dyed with a touch of shyness, the eyes are gentle like water, like a mother. I have a lot of reluctance to leave her, but I have to go, and it is likely that I will never have the opportunity to set foot here again in my life.

I put down the car curtain, my eyes were a little desolate, Yang Xiuyiya leaned back, and shook the jade fracture fan for a long time: "Reluctant?" ”

I nodded: "A few days before the accident, I ordered a dress in Zi'an Cloth Workshop, and the deposit was paid. The silver ticket in Si Lin Qian Zhuang was not lost, eighty taels. There are also things in the shop, and the white hosta you gave me is still ......" Thinking of this, I smiled, "It may have been taken away by Xiaohui." ”

He said lightly: "If you like it, we will come back later." ”

I was a little sad and didn't want to speak anymore, so I leaned back in the carriage and closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.

The carriage went up the official road from the northern suburbs of the city, and gradually became lively along the road, and a large number of carriages and horses continued to pour in all directions, coming and going from south to north, and the noise was extraordinary.

On the way, before I could sort out my sorrows, I was quickly angered by Yang Xiuyi's verbal provocation and quarreled with him. The quarrel was so fierce that he couldn't help but want to do something to him several times, but he knew that he was in a miserable situation, so he had to give up in order to avoid being kicked out of the carriage halfway.

It was nearly dusk, and we arrived at Xiaotong Station. When I jumped out of the car, I pretended to fall, he quickly reached out to help me, and finally I caught the opportunity to stomp on it, I smiled proudly, and walked away, but he slammed his shoulders and pinched hard in the face. The eyebrows and eyes were fierce: "Dare to be bad again!" ”

We scolded and followed Uncle Feng to an inn to stay, and when the guy saw them dressed in brocade, he nodded his head and smiled: "Guest, you are here." Turning to Xiangzhu, "This is Madame, right?" I snorted in displeasure and walked away.

Yang Xiuyi caught up with him in a few steps: "Where are you going?" ”

I said, "I don't have money to stay, I'll borrow your carriage to sleep for one night, if you don't borrow it, I'll sleep on the side of the road, anyway, I won't freeze to death, but I will make a small report to my master, saying that you are abusing the little apprentice." ”

"Another offense." He took me by the hand and walked back, and I hurriedly said, "I don't owe you a favor." ”

He was helpless: "Then what do you want?" ”

I smiled, quickly stretched out my claws and pinched his face, pinched his handsome face inhumanely, and said with a smile: "Call you to bully me!" ”

He glared at me angrily, but he couldn't do anything about me. I know that it is very excessive, and now I rely on him for food, clothing, housing and transportation, not only do I not know how to thank him, but I am a servile and a servant to please me, but I will take revenge, which is quite a bit pampered and arrogant. But seeing him angry with me but hiding it, I couldn't hide the joy in my heart. The villain has ambition, the villain has ambition, who told him to be so visionless and take a fancy to me?

Back at the inn, the guy immediately greeted me, courteous to me, smiling like a flower, I guessed maybe Uncle Feng said something, I couldn't help but feel sweet in my heart, some like this feeling.

I followed the guy up to the third floor and went to the upper room. Along the way, he continued to introduce the local characteristics, and I was very excited to say it, but as soon as I inquired, Xiaotong County was some distance from here, so I dispelled the idea of playing.

After taking a bath, put on the clothes sent by Xiangzhu, the ink-colored tunic palace skirt, the skirt is very sprinkled, dotted with fine and deep flowers, as if rendering pen and ink, walking like ripples in circles, full of poetry and picturesqueness. The fabric is soft and comfortable, refreshing and generous, and it is as clear as water against the skin.

Xiangzhu pulled a small cloud bun for me, obliquely inserted the jade and blue bead hairpin, and hung two strands of hair on his chest. After looking at me for a long time, he smiled: "Miss, you are so beautiful." ”

I picked up the mirror and looked left and right, it was a good look, but I almost didn't know myself.

She picked up the cotton ball and tried to evenly powder me, but I reached out and gently pushed it away: "No need." ”

"Miss, try on makeup, it will definitely look good."

I shook my head: "I think of an old man, I feel a little uncomfortable, no need." ”

Walk to the window, push open the carved wooden edges, the moon is white, the evening breeze is slow, the lights outside the post station are bright, the flow of people is dense, the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of wheels rolling on the ground are endless. I immediately wanted to go down and take a look, and as soon as I opened the door, the door on the other side was just open. Yang Xiuyi was dressed in a moonlight robe, handsome, his black eyes fell on me, he froze slightly, his eyebrows were dyed with a smile, and the words he said were extremely annoying: "Finally, no one is not a person, no ghost is not a ghost, a man is not a man, and a woman is not a woman." ”

I immediately retorted: "You are like a ghost, like a man and a woman!" ”

Xiangzhu suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, and Yang Xiuyi's sword eyebrows twisted: "You will die on this mouth sooner or later!" ”

I snorted, "If it weren't for your ability, you would have died on your mouth!" ”

His face was gloomy: "Try one more sentence?" ”

I stuck out my tongue and turned and walked towards the staircase, where he followed me downstairs.

Walking out of the inn gate, a fresh breeze greeted you, carrying the smell of herbs and food. The surrounding figures are side by side, the hustle and bustle is boiling, and the nearby villagers carry their eggs, dry food, and fruits to sell back and forth. Inns, shops, and carriages are lined with barbecue and pastry stalls. This prosperous scene made me forget my worries for a moment, and put Xia Yuelou and Wei Zhen behind for the time being.

Xu is my eyes have been stopped on the side of the clay man master, was noticed by Yang Xiuyi, he paced leisurely, after paying the money, picked a white rabbit back, stuffed it into my hand, and said lightly: "If you want to have half of it, it's good." ”

I smelled it closely, there was a rich muddy fragrance, white all over, small and cute ears, hanging down the back of my head, a pair of red eyes on my face, well-behaved and snowy. I held it in my hand and couldn't put it down.

Then he kept buying me things, sugar gourds, plum blossom cakes, maltose, kebabs, sesame crisps, tofu brains...... In the end, I wanted to eat something, and I pulled him directly and ran over with a smile, he was not small, he responded to my requests, one night with smiling eyes, sparse eyebrows, and occasionally I looked at him almost stupidly. His handsome appearance reflects the lights of thousands of homes behind him and the starry night, so good to see, I can't describe it in words.

If he doesn't have a prominent family background and a high level of supernatural ability, if I don't have so many disparities with him, if I am just an ordinary woman, I can have children, and I won't provoke ghosts and demons. How nice that would be.

I know that this idea is too selfish, how many people spend their lives in pursuit of immortality, and how many people are obsessed with sitting on thousands of family wealth and squandering it. Yang Xiuyi has all of these, but I hope he doesn't, just because greed is in his heart. I looked at his appearance, depicting his clear features with my eyes, and my heart began to sour again. He has a lot of things in his hands, all of them are gadgets, expensive I can't afford to buy, although it costs his money now, but I have a lot of money in my heart, and I will pay it back in the future. This is also taught by the master, and you can't receive favors from others, especially Yang Xiuyi's favors.

After being stared at by me for a long time, he sighed lightly: "What's the matter? ”

I came back to my senses, tilted my head and smiled, "It's okay." He turned his head to an open-air tea shop and pointed out, "Please let me have tea?" ”

I asked for a pot of flower tea and a few pastries, and I happily played with the little rabbit in my hand, and a little girl selling flowers came over: "Childe, can you buy some flowers for Madame?" ”

I frowned, and Yan said, "I'm not his wife." ”

She covered her lips and smiled: "Madame, that gentleman said that you are a hard-working mandarin duck who eloped, and asked me to sell it to you at a lower price." ”

I looked up, and a familiar figure suddenly flashed behind the tree, and I was embarrassed and shouted, "Uncle Feng! ”

Yang Xiuyi grinned lightly, raised his hand and threw out a silver ingot: "I bought all of these." ”

Then the foot vendors who sold bells, potatoes, and small jewelry all poured in, and I couldn't explain it clearly, and I couldn't persuade me to leave, so I slapped the table: "Get out of here!" ”

The crowd pouted and dispersed, and I said angrily: "What kind of master has what kind of steward, all of them have brain diseases." ”

Yang Xiuyi was in a good mood, nodded casually, and then was stunned: "Who are you talking about?" ”

I burst out laughing, poured a cup of flower tea, and raised my glass to sip.

At this time, a male voice came from next door: "Most of those legends are false, and there are not a few young and skilled people in this world, but the theory of deterring the heroes is really nonsense." ”

A female voice chuckled: "I think so, that day, there were many heroic heroes on the Hongru Stone Platform, and their martial arts were world-famous. ”

A slightly relaxed male voice said: "Believe it or not, anyway, I'll just say that, it doesn't hurt to be a chatter, in short, that's the truth." ”

Hongru Stone Terrace?

I glanced at Yang Xiuyi, his expression was faint, if I hadn't heard it, I couldn't help but be interested, and when I saw two men and a woman sitting next door, I poked my head over: "I believe it, I believe it, how about you say it again?" ”

The man turned his head, his appearance was delicate, very young, he seemed to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, his face was like a crown of jade, and his facial features were delicate and delicate, like a woman.

He laughed and said, "The girl really wants to hear it?" Then I'll say it again. ”

I nodded busily.

He said, "Have you heard of the Xuancheng Blood Monkey? It is said that on that day, the blood monkey appeared out of thin air, killed people on the street, ate every person, caused a bloody storm, and that tragic scene was really hell on earth. They ......"

I felt uncomfortable when I heard this, and Yang Xiuyi interrupted him: "Skip this paragraph." ”

The man nodded: "...... Because of this blood monkey tragedy, several gate gangs in Liuzhou decided to hold a demon slaughter conference in Xuancheng, and it was decided to catch 3,000 monsters in Hongru Square, but it was not expected that Xuancheng was surrounded by monsters, and even a pheasant was difficult to find, and finally only caught about 200 little demons, haha, I was still ready to see a joke, who knew that there was a rumor on the rivers and lakes, saying that the blood monkey tragedy originated from a demon woman, she raised monsters in the city, and fed on human flesh and bones. I also went to see it that day, but it was a girl, not good-looking, not as ugly as they said, quite pitiful, but I looked fun, spent ten dollars to ask the aunt next door for five rotten eggs, and also smashed it, hehe......"

Me: "......"

Yang Xiuyi immediately picked up the teacup and smashed it over, hitting him in the head, the speed was so fast that he couldn't dodge at all. He opened a bloody hole in his forehead and was furious: "What are you doing! ”

"Get out!"

The man at the table with him slapped the table: "What kind of person are you kid?" So arrogant!? ”

The woman was good-looking and dignified, frowning, looking at us fixedly, her eyes fell on my face for a long time, thoughtfully, suddenly her beautiful eyes lit up, and she got up and said, "Don't bother the two, let's go." ”

"Big sister?"

The woman glanced at them lightly, turned to leave, and walked quickly, but her posture was ethereal and calm.

The other two were puzzled, glared at us angrily, and chased after us: "Big sister! ”

I looked at Yang Xiuyi: "She recognizes me, she ......"

Yang Xiuyi took my teacup with his hand, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and said lightly: "She is not a nosy person, don't be afraid." ”

"You know her?"

"If you guess correctly, it's probably the god doctor Sun who is rumored on the rivers and lakes."

I was shocked: "She is Doctor Sun?" But she was only ten years old, and she ...... You won't be mistaken. ”

"She has a medicinal fragrance of bamboo and bones, and she is sandwiched with the heavenly herb qi, which is special for the treatment of Cangzhu Cream."

I looked at Yang Xiuyi, I couldn't tell what I was feeling in my heart, and muttered: "You even know about Cangzhushuang, you went to check the people who came to the store to make trouble that day, right, what happened to them, you can't ...... because of me"

He frowned and interrupted me: "I didn't kill anyone, but I just wanted to find out what happened." ”

"Yang Xiuyi ......"

He suddenly looked stern, turned his eyes to look at an inn, and I was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's something unusual over there." "What's unusual?" He stood up and threw down the tea money: "I'll go and see, you can bring these back to the inn." "
