- The night grew darker, as if it had frozen.

Mo Ye just wanted to take out the book of "Qianzhao Sutra" hidden in his arms to familiarize himself with it, and make a preliminary experience, in such a cloudy night scene, it was also impossible.

Groping to the window, Mo Ye hesitated to open the window. She felt that it seemed that because there was no moonlight, the air in the room had become a little stuffy. But in such a deep night, the courtyard outside the house was so empty that it seemed to be a big black and bottomless hole, and she felt a little afraid.

After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but let out a long breath.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"Leaves."

Immersed in the darkness of the room, the changes in the expression on Mo Ye's face became blurry and indistinguishable, but her even breathing suddenly burst into a bundle, which was clearly audible in the extremely quiet environment.

Mo Ye was startled at first, and she soon heard the familiarity in that voice, and a trace of surprise and joy rose in her heart.

"Don't be afraid, it's me, Wu Shu."

Mo Ye nodded hurriedly, and in an instant, she realized that no matter how much she nodded at this time, she was also invisible to Wu Shu, who was blocked by the window, so she hurriedly reached out to push the window.

The window was only halfway open when she suddenly felt a strong wind rush in, and then there was a force around her waist, and she flew up, and when she fell, her buttocks were soft, and then the surroundings lit up.

She flickered before she found herself sitting back on the bed, where the curtain had been unclasped and hung down, covering the light, and the whole tent seemed to become a large lantern, and she herself had become a wick.

In fact, what is more like a wick should be Wu Shu sitting opposite her.

Inside the house, on the roof, on the street, by the sea, in the wreckage, in the palace...... Wu Shu took Mo Ye to many places. But meeting Wu Shu in an environment like today is the first time, and it still feels a little inexplicably embarrassing.

In fact, Mo Ye knew that Wu Shu would not be that kind of person, but her subconscious precaution suddenly burst out, which still made her bite her lip and lower her head.

However, she quickly raised her head again and stared at Wu Shu with puzzled eyes, because she had found out a little hindsightly. Today, Wu Shu covered his face with a black cloth again—and since that night Mo Ye ripped off his mask. He had never been so deliberately disguised in front of her.

Therefore, after Mo Ye stared at Wu Shu for a while, he immediately reached out to pull it again.

Although I don't know why. But Wu Shu instinctively wanted to dodge. However, he only moved slightly, and suddenly realized that he was in the tent, and that he still had a fiery fire fold in his hand. After a moment's pause, the black cloth on his face was torn off by Mo Ye's second grab.

Wu Shu who is accustomed to walking in the dark. His eyes were still as bright as the stars, and there was a hint of sharpness. However, after the black cloth was ripped off. Mo Ye, who was already suspicious, stared at his face closely, and it was easy to notice that his lips were a little pale and chapped, which was very different from when he left early yesterday morning.

Mo Ye's brows gradually furrowed.

It's not hard to imagine. When Wu Shu returns early in the morning, he will definitely be punished. But what is the content of this punishment, looking at Wu Shu, who was a little haggard in front of him. She couldn't imagine it.

But before she could speak, she heard Wu Shu say in a suppressed voice: "I heard that Cheng Xu sent the medicine before she passed." I'm a little worried about you, so I'll take a look. ”

Seeing that Wu Shu didn't mention himself at all, but kept remembering her, Mo Ye couldn't help but have a slightly sour nose, choked his throat and suppressed his voice: "I'm okay." ”

Wu Shu shook his head and said softly: "I was careless, I didn't tell Cheng Xu, you must take the medicine after eating, otherwise it will damage the stomach and intestines." ”

He took out a small paper bag from his arms and handed it over, and said: "I asked for the medicine candy from Doctor Ye, I eat this if I feel uncomfortable taking the medicine, he has given it to many children, and there has been no problem." ”

In fact, a secret agent like Wu Shu, who has received special training, should not be so prone to mistakes such as 'carelessness'. The reason why Wu Shu was "careless" was because he was lying in bed in a semi-coma for most of the day today, and he didn't have time to tell Cheng Xu.

After returning early in the morning, the order of punishment soon came down. This was what Wu Shu expected, but to his surprise, it was actually the Lord Commander who personally carried out the punishment. This situation also took the rest of the group by surprise.

But an accident is an accident, Wu Shu is willing to be punished in his heart, even if he eats thirty boards, he is directly knocked out by the commander, he has no intention of blaming anyone, only blaming himself for his limited cultivation.

He didn't know that as the powerful commander of the Kyoto garrison, the reason why Li Gai wanted to personally beat a small subordinate was because early in the morning at the gate of Ye Mansion, Ye Zhengming's words to Cheng Xu had an effect.

Li Gai will do this, the purpose is very simple, just to make Wu Shu unable to go to sea.

In fact, he could have avoided such a heavy hand, but in Cheng Xu's relay of Ye Zhengming's words, he learned that Ye Zhengming had already persuaded Wu Shu before this, but he didn't know why Wu Shu didn't accept it.

Wu Shu is absolutely obedient to his superiors in official affairs, but Li Gai knows that if his subordinate is stubborn, the eight horses will not be able to pull back. Therefore, after Li Gai got Ye Zhengming's verdict, although he didn't know the details yet, he at least left people on land first, but he has taken on a lot of things himself recently, so he had to take advantage of this punishment.

Wu Shu understood the Commander's anger as his fault for breaking the law, but he didn't think too much about it.

Mo Ye didn't know what happened to Wu Shu today, but his eyes still couldn't help but swell with a burst of wetness, and after thinking about it, his voice trembled slightly: "How do you know ......" After only saying these few words, there was no way to continue.

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Shu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, and said, "I have also read the booklet you carried when you were in a coma in Ye Mansion. ”

Mo Ye's tears finally couldn't help but flow.

Seeing this, Wu Shu blinked suspiciously, and at the end he just sighed lightly and said, "I can't come out for too long, there are also powerful people in those nursing homes in this mansion, you can live here with peace of mind, and I will leave as much as possible." ”

Something like this, more than an hour ago. Cheng Xu, who came to deliver the medicine, also said it, but Mo Ye felt that when Wu Shu said this, it was more reassuring than when Cheng Xu said it.

Knowing that Wu Shu was leaving, Mo Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried, and at this time, Wu Shu, who was about to turn around, suddenly turned around and asked, "I smell the smell of boiling herbs in the kitchen." Who is taking the medication? ”

"Not me." Mo Ye just said these three words. suddenly realized that Wu Shu might have misunderstood, so he picked up the matter of almost falling into the water in the afternoon.

Somehow, naturally, she was willing to share some of the things she had experienced today. Say it to the strange-faced man in front of her who has nothing to do with her.

After Mo Ye finished speaking, Wu Shu pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "You said that Ruan Luo pulled you, and Bai Tao pulled Ruan Luo." So you and Ruan Luo were pulled by Bai Tao together? ”

He repeated the word 'pull' a few times, but did not use the word 'save'.

This is indeed what Mo Ye said to Wu Shu to know. It's just that she didn't say it as coherently as Wu Shu. And when she listened to Wu Shu repeat what she had said in this relationship model, she suddenly realized a problem.

But thinking of what Bai Tao said when she carried the tandoor outside the kitchen before decoction of the medicine, she naturally obtained a very ordinary answer to this question that suddenly popped up in her heart.

She said to Wu Shu: "Bai Tao is a few years older than me. Naturally, the strength will be greater. ”

Looking at Mo Ye's calm face, Wu Shu's thoughtful eyes froze for a moment, and finally he didn't say anything more. only whispered: "I'm leaving, you can sleep." ”

Then the fire was extinguished. The room was once again plunged into darkness, except for the tent that was stirred by a living wind, making a slight noise, and then the silence all around it fell again.

Mo Ye clenched the small paper bag in his hand, climbed out of bed and groped his way to the window, and couldn't help but push the window open.

Outside the window, the courtyard was dark and quiet, and the insects in the shallow grass were still singing freely, as if no one had ever come to disturb them. Mo Ye had to close the window again, and when she returned to the bed, she suddenly remembered that Wu Shu had mentioned the kitchen - the kitchen was not a short distance from her bedroom, and Wu Shu had no reason to go to the kitchen to take a turn before coming to see her.

Unless he didn't know which room he was in, so he turned the huge mansion in half.

Mo Ye remembered what Wu Shu said, "There are also powerful people in those courtyards in this mansion." Wu Shu should not have had the opportunity to deal with the nursing home of the Song Mansion before, so he knew this, I am afraid that it was because in the process of searching for it, he also found the residence of the nursing home.

Thinking of this, Mo Ye's heart moved, and she suddenly sat up while lying on her back, fumbling for a piece of medicinal candy from the paper bag and throwing it into her mouth. Mo Ye only felt that the sugar was melting in the heart of his tongue, but he felt that his mouth was full of sourness.

The pill sugar entered the stomach, and the churning thing in the stomach quickly quieted down. Perhaps because Wu Shu had come to visit, Mo Ye felt that his chaotic mood quickly calmed down, and he soon fell asleep.

Since ancient times, children's hearts have wanted to be accompanied by their most dependent parents when they are uneasy. Or fall asleep while humming to your mother, or perhaps it would be enough to hear your parents' voices ringing next door.

Mo Ye's possession in this area is very scarce, when he was a child, he was still able to lie on his aunt's bed when night fell, and when he was a little older, he was ordered by the master to sleep alone. The chance of falling asleep listening to stories is even slimmer, the aunt said that it is those sets, and the master seems to be the best at telling ghost stories, and she is directly scared away when she listens to it.

Now, when there is no one of his relatives around him, Mo Ye can't tell why he suddenly relies so much on Wu Shu. Or did she not realize that she had developed some kind of dependence on Wu Shu?

……

The deep night was dispelled by the light of the dawn of the eastern sky. Mo Ye, who had slept peacefully all night, also woke up suddenly in the morning, and the last bell could be heard ringing in his ears.

The cabin where the clock was placed was next door to the study, and the courtyard where the study was located was separated only by a courtyard wall from the bedroom where she was resting. The reason why the house is arranged this way may be precisely because of that clock, it will wake up on time in the morning to wake up a few people in the house who mainly take care of Ruan Luo.

Only a familiar environment will make people unload their whole body defense, and in this room where every inch of the room is full of unfamiliar feelings, as long as you wake up, it is not easy to regain sleepiness, although because of the late rest yesterday, there is still a trace of sleepiness in Mo Ye's mind at this time.

The sound of the rain clock was regular, and Mo Ye remembered yesterday evening. Ruan Luo explained that the 12 hour markers are pushed once, and the bell will also accumulate the number of times the bell is sounded when the hands reach the hour mark.

Although she didn't hear all the bells, after Mo Ye pushed open the window, she saw that the sky was already bright, and she probably knew that the hour was not too early or too late. Some of them are glad that they slept late last night. I didn't get up late this morning.

After getting dressed, I pushed the door out of the house, and I happened to see that in the house opposite, Bai Tao was also pushing the door out. Look at her sleepy-eyed. It just so happens to be the way it just got up.

Bai Tao also saw Mo Ye who pushed the door out at a glance, and couldn't help but be a little pleased with this tacit understanding. The two were immediately invited together and went to the well pavilion next to the kitchen to wash.

Mo Ye is not good at curling hair, but Bai Tao is very happy to teach this art. Then Mo Ye taught Bai Tao to steam his face with a hot cloth. After each took care of it, he carried a wooden basin with hot water. One of them held a dry and folded cloth towel and went to Ruan Luo's bedroom together, ready to serve him and get up.

Ruan Luo seemed to be sleeping a little deeply, and the two women knocked on the door and no one answered. He went straight into the house. Bai Tao bowed down and called several times by the side of the bed before he woke up.

Bai Tao saw that Ruan Luo's face was a little wrong, but he saw that his spirit seemed to be unhindered at all. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart. Early in the morning, she couldn't stab her doubts directly. I just couldn't help but give Mo Ye a look.

Bai Tao has always been doing the work of serving Master Song in the Song family, although Master Song did not treat her as a slave and maid during his lifetime, but she is always more than twice as strong as Mo Ye in terms of observing words and feelings. This kind of observation of words and colors naturally refers not only to the observation of people's mood colors.

Looking at Mo Ye again, she was very sluggish, and when she saw Bai Tao handing over her eyes, she was still a little unsure.

Until......

As soon as he walked to the hexagonal shelf where the wooden basin was resting, Ruan Luo blinked his somewhat heavy eyelids, and casually scooped up the cloth towel soaked in the hot water in the basin, but at this moment, his hand suddenly stiffened, and then he hurriedly ran out of the house.

Mo Ye was stunned, while Bai Tao was pale and secretly screamed badly.

The two girls ran out one after another, and saw Ruan Luo supporting the wall with one hand, vomiting in a corner of the flower bed.

Seeing this situation, Mo Ye roughly understood, what Bai Tao's eyes meant just now, and she couldn't help but be a little confused for a while.

And because Bai Tao was expected, he was not as panicked as he was yesterday when he saw Ruan Luo mistakenly using ink as porridge. She had seen drunk people vomit from food before, so after approaching Ruan Luo, she hurriedly grabbed one of his arms and glanced at the filth on the ground.

"It was the ink that I accidentally ate last night that is doing the trick!" Bai Tao suddenly exclaimed.

Ruan Luo, who had vomited for a while, turned around slightly, but felt dizzy and speechless for a while. Fortunately, Bai Tao was on his side to support him, otherwise he would have been a little unsteady after vomiting.

Mo Ye hurriedly held Ruan Luo's other arm like Bai Tao, only to see that his mental state was suddenly weaker than when she first got up, she immediately looked at Bai Tao and blurted out: "What should I do?" ”

"Hurry up and call Lang Zhong to come and see." Bai Tao's brows furrowed, and then he said, "You are not familiar with this place, I'll call Lang Zhong, let's help him back to the house first." ”

Mo Ye had to nod.

Fu Ruan Luo went back to the house and lay on the bed, Bai Tao helped him cover the quilt, carefully wiped the dirt on the corners of his mouth, and went out again to call the two girls close and told them to go to the kitchen to boil some boiling water, and then she turned around and told Mo Ye a few words, and then hurriedly left.

Mo Ye used to read books and learned a saying, called 'Illness comes like a mountain', at this time she really saw it, and she couldn't help but panic a little in her heart.

She followed Bai Tao's instructions before leaving, and gently wiped away the bursts of sweat on Ruan Luo's forehead with a soft handkerchief, and her own forehead began to sweat incessantly, but she didn't know it.

The stomach was empty, and Ruan Luo felt that the stagnation between the viscera had been cleared a little, but his head became heavy.

However, the experience of illness has been a common occurrence in the years he has grown up, so he is not too worried except for feeling unwell.

Slowly letting out a sigh, he looked at Mo Ye, who was sweating in a hurry, and said with little strength: "I am often sick, I will be fine if I lie down for a few days and take some medicine, it's nothing." ”

Mo Ye endured it, and finally couldn't help but say, "It's all my fault." ”

"It's only my own poor health that I blame for what it has to do with others." Ruan Luo took a breath and said softly, "You just came, how can I blame you." ”

Mo Ye's hand holding the handkerchief couldn't help but tighten, and after a moment of silence. She gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't watching by your side last night, how could there have been anything later?" It's still my fault. ”

Ruan Luo sighed and said, "Okay, it's your fault, but you're just a small mistake, and I'll get better soon." ”

He suddenly smiled again, and said gently, "But." It's still quite uncomfortable to be sick. So you have to take care of me in the future. He smiled a little forcefully, and his eyes were tired.

"Okay." Mo Ye bit his lower lip, and his eyes were shining.

……

Last night. Wang Zhe and Yan Yu chatted until late at night, and the guy running in the restaurant finally couldn't help but remind him euphemistically that Kyoto was about to have a curfew, and the group of four people who were full of alcohol staggered out of the private room.

The Yan family has a house in Kyoto. The housekeeper of the house had already heard the news and was waiting outside, and he drank several pots of tea. But he didn't dare to offend the good interest of the young family members.

Of course, as the core servant of the Yan family, this fifty-year-old housekeeper knows Wang Zhe's true identity, which is one of the important reasons why he is not ready to disturb the young master and his friends to get drunk.

The old housekeeper of the Yan family generously paid for the wine. He called several nurses to help Yan Shao's family get into the carriage, and arranged for several nurses to send Wang Zhe to the carriage as usual.

Bu Yu, who was in the same car, was drunk and still shouted not to go back, and Wang Zhe, who was a little sober, had to ask the Yan family's nursing home to send them to an inn to stay. Although the old housekeeper of the Yan family still didn't know what the real reason for Bu Yu's 'don't go back' was. But he could expect that Wang Zhe's appearance would definitely not be enough to go back, so he naturally ran away in person. Arrange this well.

When I woke up after a big drunkenness, it was already three poles of the sun outside the window.

Holding his head as if he had been hit hard by a blunt object, Bu Yu, who was lying on his back on the bed, opened his eyes. As soon as he saw the scene, he realized that he was lying in someone else's house, and he jumped up from the bed, jumped out of bed, and immediately rushed out of the door, and then kicked open the door of the next room, and shouted, "Wang-Zhe-"

Before resting last night, as Bu Yu's old friend, although Wang Zhe's mind was drunk, he had not forgotten his old friend's drunken habits. So he gave the middle room to Bu Yu, and he and Yang Chen lived on their own sides.

Sure enough, Bu Yu woke up in the morning and immediately kicked the door to find someone.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to hit Wang Zhe's house and didn't kick into Yang Chen's room, otherwise Wang Zhe really didn't know if there would be a second madman in the guest room on the third floor of this inn this morning.

Wang Zhe had just woken up and didn't dare to sleep more, so he was ready to kick Bu Yu's door before Bu Yu woke up and went crazy, but he didn't expect him to be one step late.

Wang Zhe, who was tying his clothes, was frightened by Bu Yu's roar after kicking the door, and then he took a deep breath, staring at Bu Yu with an annoyed face and roaring: "What are you roaring?" Is someone going to fry you? ”

After Bu Yu saw the familiar face of his old friend, his sick bed-relieving habit eased a little, but the feeling of headache was immediately much clearer. So he covered his head and lay down directly on Wang Zhe's bed, hugged his head and said, "You know that I recognize the bed and the house, why do you still take me to the guest house!" ”

Wang Zhe said angrily: "Who yelled at the sky last night not to go home?" You almost made the old housekeeper of the Yan family laugh off his big teeth. It's just that the housekeeper is not an ordinary person, and he will only swallow it silently in his stomach if he laughs and loses his teeth, but the people who live in this inn are not like this, you can live in peace! ”

"Oh... Oh...... How dare I go back last night, when I meet my father, and then let him see me drinking and getting drunk, maybe he will tie me up and hang me on the beam of the house to sober up, I can't go back, I definitely can't go back last night! ”

Bu Yu hammered his head as he spoke, but the more the hammer head sank, he shouted again: "If you don't go back to my house, you can take me to your house!" By the way, you can also stop by to see Brother Ruan. I'm drunk at his house, and I'm more comfortable than here! ”

Wang Zhe sighed helplessly: "Just like you, if you stayed at Ruan Luo's house last night, I don't know how long you will toss, you can live in peace!" ”

Wang Zhe called Bu Yu Ansheng twice in a row, and Bu Yu was really obedient. Compared with the dryness of the drunken madness just now, he has fallen asleep peacefully, and the sound of deep snoring is still rising between his nose and throat.

"Get up!" Wang Zhe saw that Bu Yu had fallen asleep like this, and roared very ruthlessly, and at the same time raised two fingers, bent his fingers like a cone, and buckled them on the left and right foreheads of Bu Yu at great speed.

Wang Zhe didn't want to allow Bu Yu to snooze, but he was afraid that when he woke up again, he would have another drunken madness. You can only start decisively.

Bu Yu woke up in pain, and as soon as he opened his eyes, his vision was not clear, and he saw two fingers as imminent as the tips of arrows, and at the same time, Wang Zhe's voice sounded in his ears: "Don't go crazy!" Get dressed up, and I'll take you to see Ruan Luo. ”

Wang Zhe's preemptive move worked. Bu Yu understood what Wang Zhe meant, and he didn't go crazy again. I went back to my room to look for clothes.

Wang Zhe went to call Yang Chen. I walked outside his room and was about to knock on the door, when I happened to see him open the door and come out. Seeing that Yang Chen had just woken up, he only asked. knew that Yang Chen had just been woken up by Bu Yu, and then mocked Bu Yu, who was neatly dressed and out of the house, for a while.

Yang Chen's carriage was sent by the Yan family's people to the restaurant where they were drinking last night, and then by the Yan family's old housekeeper and the three of them were drunk and sent to the inn where they were staying overnight. The three of them used some porridge and vegetables at the inn to clear their stomachs after being soaked in wine all night. Then he got into Yang Chen's carriage and went to Ruan Luo's house.

All three had just woken up with a hangover. The mind is still a little drunk after sobering, so the carriage is very careless on the road. However, even the carriage was only a little faster than on foot. But it's still more comfortable to ride in a car than to take a heavy step with three people.

Among the three, Bu Yu had a bad habit of getting drunk when he first woke up, and his other states were fine. Wang Zhe's drunkenness is the lightest. The most serious sequelae of drunkenness is Yang Chen. Fortunately, all three of them can drive, and Bu Yu's driving skills are only suitable for crisscrossing the wild. So Wang Zhe replaced Bu Yu and drove the horse.

Along the way, the three of them also chatted for a while, which can be regarded as continuing to sober up and refresh.

I don't know if Yang Chen's mind is still dizzy, or if he has already devoted himself to Wang Zhe, so he didn't hide it anymore, his words made everyone know an interesting thing. It turned out that Yang Chen was used to putting all his belongings at the bottom of his carriage, so the body of the carriage was much heavier than that of ordinary carriages, and it naturally walked more smoothly, but it was a little bitter for this horse.

As the carriage passed through a quiet street where no one walked, Wang Zhe couldn't help but let go of a hand holding the reins of the horse, and bent his fingers to tap the floor of the car sitting under his buttocks. Listening to that voice, if you have the heart to distinguish it, you can indeed feel that this car board is hollow, and it is obvious that the space in it is placed in Yang Chen's belongings.

Wang Zhe suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Yang is really a free and easy heart. Leaving your car at the back of the caravan yesterday evening, have you ever thought that if your car is left behind by the caravan, you will have nothing? ”

"I didn't hesitate at the time, but ......" Yang Chen pinched his forehead, took a deep breath, and then said: "I was originally self-made, if I was really unlucky and lost the car, I was not sick or disabled, and I could still make a comeback." ”

After a pause, Yang Chen added: "In short, I can't delay your friends' interest in getting together to drink, besides, last night I was able to drink with your sticky light, the wine is indeed mellow, and I earned the money to accompany the wine if I lost my belongings." ”

"Hahaha! Brother Yang, the two things you said may have a huge disparity in value in the eyes of others, and it seems that you earned it, but I have a different opinion. Wang Zhe smiled loudly, vaguely, the title of Yang Chen has changed, "Rich and noble, no matter how poor it is, it is also home." Even if your quilt is torn and your clothes are patched, the things that belong to you and accompany you leave your own breath and are printed with your own memories, and the steadiness of owning these is difficult to buy with silver. ”

Wang Zhe turned his head to look at Bu Yu and asked, "The drunkard who recognizes the bed and the person and the room, do you say?" ”

Bu Yu nodded again and again: "You're right. It's still the first day that my heart is clear, why do I recognize the bed, it turns out that this is the truth. Brother Wang, you have nothing to talk to me about in the future, and it also allows me to enlighten, you said so much to Yan Yu last night, I can't even interject a word! ”

Wang Zhe shook his head slightly, ignoring what Bu Yu said later, and when he looked at Yang Chen again, he saw a look of understanding in Yang Chen's eyes, nodded and said: "In the future, the nest in Xia will fall in Brother Tai's house, but I am used to being idle in the field, I am afraid that there are still some habits that are difficult to accept for a while, if there is something inappropriate, please also ask Brother Tai to explain it directly." ”

"It's easy to say this, Brother Yang doesn't have to feel constrained." Wang Zhe smiled slightly, then changed the topic and asked slowly: "Brother Yang, I have a few questions about the road, I wonder if you are interested in chatting?" ”

"Since it's related to things in the downlink industry, brother Tai just ask." Yang Chen nodded.

Wang Zhe smiled slightly and let go of what he was worried about. bluntly asked, "Where is the longest single you have ever run?" ”

"The longest ......," Yang Chen slightly recalled, "it should be Yangling County to Kyoto, and it takes one day and two nights." ”

Wang Zhe showed a hint of doubt, and then asked, "Why do you prefer to walk at night?" Why not two days and one night? ”

"The Lord walked by night because the day before his departure gave the horse rest for a day and a night. The dozen hours in the middle are non-stop, after arriving at the destination. It's good to rest for another day. ”

Yang Chen quickly replied. The speech is fluent, not like a lie. However, because of his reply, Wang Zhe thought about a new question.

"Oh...... The distance between the two cities is about 600 miles. However, due to the complicated road conditions, only the area close to Kyoto is a direct smooth road, and there are more than 400 miles of rugged mountain roads near Yangneung-gun. The fastest carriage I've ever seen takes much longer than that distance to get there. Why are you so much faster? ”

Faced with Wang Zhe's questioning, Yang Chen couldn't help but hesitate. But he finally chose to be blunt: "Because I took a shortcut." ”

"Taking a shortcut?"

Yang Chen told the truth, but Wang Zhe became more and more incomprehensible.

Wang Zhe's suspicions were well-founded, for he had not heard of a shortcut from Kyoto to Yangneung County that could be reached five hours faster than an ordinary horse-drawn carriage. If there is. In such a bad road condition as Yangling County, there will be no driver who does not mention this shortcut.

Yang Chen smiled indifferently and added: "Because I passed from the mountain." ”

This sentence was the first time Yang Chen said it to others. Because it is difficult for people who are familiar with the mountain roads of Yangling County to imagine that Yang Chen can catch a car to climb the mountain. He was willing to say it. I'm afraid that it will only be regarded as a joke, and in the context of the geographical environment of Yangling County, such a way of choosing a road is like a fool's dream.

Yang Chen doesn't like to argue with others, and the openness of this shortcut may be related to whether he will take over this route in the future, so he has never told others about this matter as an idle matter.

knew that Wang Zhe might not believe what he said, and at the same time, he also knew that Wang Zhe would have some questions to test him at this time, which was really inevitable, so when Yang Chen opened this mouth, he had no intention of concealing it anymore, and then said: "Actually, what I carried on that trip was not people, but goods. ”

"No wonder, if you were to climb the mountain with a man, I think even if you could drive up, the person in your car would be scared away. Besides, maybe your car goes up and you find that you have left your hired customer on the mountainside. Wang Zhe sighed, and asked puzzledly: "But I'm still a little unimaginable, it is said that there are most bandits in the mountains of Yangling County, how dare you go up?" ”

Yang Chen smiled heartily and said, "Brother Wang's concerns are not wrong at all, but then again, I can catch the car up the mountain, and I need to thank those bandits in the mountain, because that shortcut was built by the local mountain bandits...... Probably they were able to transport the looted things back to the cottage as quickly as possible after the usual robbery. ”

"That time, I heard that a dart game was late, and they knew that I knew the shortcuts there, and asked me if I would like to take a risk, and the reward was very rich. I was really embarrassed at the time, so I took the risk. ”

Yang Chen sighed softly when he said this, with a trace of palpitation in his eyes, and then continued: "Fortunately, it is now a new imperial system, with comprehensive security and strict laws, and a lot of local bandits have been recruited, but there are still one or two cottages still hiding in the mountains. So before I set out, I pondered that only in the dead of night and when the mountain bandits were not so diligent in patrolling the mountains, I could use their way to do my business. Fortunately, I really got on the road later, and a qiē was quite smooth. ”

"So......" Wang Zhe turned his head, swept his eyes up and down, looked Yang Chen carefully, and said: "You should also know how to work hard, otherwise it is rare to have this kind of courage out of thin air." ”

"In front of the masters, I won't hide it." Yang Chen smiled and continued: "To go south and north, you always need a little martial arts to defend yourself. I'm ashamed to say that my boxing skills were obtained by stealing from my teacher, and I learned them loosely and shallowly, and I can barely prevent small thieves and thieves. If I meet Mangshan Haoqiang, I can only kneel on the ground, obediently offer the silver taels of my whole body, and then call my grandfather to spare my life. ”
