- Specifically, it should be more elaborate than the infantry attire, but slightly weaker than the general's suit, and the armor that protects the chest vest does not exist.

Knowing that this was roughly Shi Yi's work, Ruan Luo was also surprised, but he was silent for a long time. Naturally, he wouldn't reveal too much of his thoughts to the two women in front of him, because this might involve Wang Zhe, who had already returned to the military.

Except for one time three years ago, he revealed some of his past to Mo Ye, and later he regretted that incident, and in the next three years, he never mentioned this kind of thing again, only thinking that he was Ruan Luo, who inherited the Song family's inheritance, not Ruan Luo, who grew up in the army with his father.

Looking at Ruan Luo's thoughtful face, Ye Nuonuo checked the unnailed leather buckle on the waist of the cuffs for him, and said with a smile: "Don't you think it's very strange?" Sister Mo thinks so too, but I tell you, the reason why this dress is made like this, every change is for a reason, such as the tightened sleeves, in case insects fall in, it can itch when biting people, and it is not easy to scratch it......"

Mo Ye said with a smile on the side: "These are not all taught to you by Shi Yi, you have to change the title of him in the future, you can't always call him 'bad stone'." ”

Ye Nuonuo pouted and said, "Who asked him to call me 'evil girl' first, hum!" ”

……

In addition to changing their clothes, the three of them even changed their hairstyles. In order to prevent the mountain road from being too thorny and reduce the trouble of deductions, the three of them all pulled their hair to the back of their heads and tied it tightly together. However, this originally somewhat strange hairstyle complemented the strange attire of the trio, making the trio look refreshed.

Carrying baskets containing tools and water bladders, the three of them set off in the sun.

The chief steward of the Song Mansion was sent by Ruan Luo to take charge of the business house a year ago. The people in the house are simple, and Ruan Luo feels that it is overkill to let him only be the housekeeper of this half-empty mansion. Ruan Luo's arrangement was correct, and after the chief steward of the Song Mansion became the general manager of the commercial bank, he helped him share a lot of affairs.

As for the house, it is handed over to Bai Tao to take care of, and there has been no problem with it.

Ruan Luo didn't bring any attendants with him on this trip, and Bai Tao stood at the gate and watched the backs of the three of them walk away. I can't help but sigh.

And wait for Bai Tao to return to the small courtyard where he lives. Seeing a gray-feathered finch parked in the corner of the eaves, the silence left behind in her eyes was suddenly swept away. Living in a separate yard is not only convenient for Mo Ye, but also convenient for white peaches. No one knew that the spices she used were secretive, and when she beckoned, the gray feather finch stopped at her very obediently.

Although this grey feather finch is not a pigeon, it has the ability to carrier pigeons. The one who throws the bird does not use a pigeon. It is also because of the restrictions of the place of placement. It comes from the palace, if it is not in the form of an ordinary bird. I'm afraid that before I flew out, I was shot by a big inner master throwing stones.

A roll of paper hidden under the feet of the Grey Feather Sparrow, in order to hide its form, is not even set up in a small tube of wrapping. However, this paper is soaked in oil after writing. Wear-resistant.

White Peach took the gray feather finch back to his room, took the note from the bird's leg, and put it on the dresser. The gray finch came into the hands of the white peach. It seems to have become a little obedient, standing on the dresser and not leaving.

I've read the contents of the note. A hint of fierceness quickly flashed in Bai Tao's eyes, and then she took out the fire fold from the drawer and blew it, and the oil-soaked note instantly turned into ashes as soon as it caught fire.

Then she plucked a hair from her head, wrapped it around the sparrow's leg a few times, and threw it out the window.

After leaving the white peach for a certain distance, the gray finch seemed to be reinvigorated, and its spirit immediately became agile, and it only flew low in the courtyard for a short time, and suddenly spread its wings and flew away directly into the sky.

After letting go of the gray sparrow, Bai Tao did not leave the house immediately, but stood quietly in the house for a long time, as if thinking about something, and his eyes changed for a few moments. I don't know how long it took for her to move out of the house and walk in one direction.

……

Ye Zhengming spent more than a year searching for the herbs depicted on the fine silk, and he probably didn't find them, but he never seemed to want to give up.

Perhaps the herbs were too important to him, and the other was that his main place of activity in searching for medicine was in the Foggy Mountains on the southern outskirts of the capital, which was not only high, but also extensive, and in addition to the medicinal materials he was looking for, there were other rich reserves of herbs. Even if Ye Zhengming returns empty-handed every day, his medicine basket is actually not empty, and he can always gain something.

Before leaving, half of the joke that Yenono said could be taken seriously. If it was just Mo Ye and Ruan Luo climbing the mountain, I am afraid that there would only be the purpose of having fun, but with the addition of a Ye Nuo Nuo between the two, the meaning was immediately different.

I followed my father to learn medical skills for three years, and the main learning course was to start from the basics, that is, to identify medicinal materials. Now she can be regarded as a book of medicinal materials that can walk, this time to climb the Misty Mountain, in addition to looking for the kind of herbs painted on the fine silk, whether she can find other elixirs really depends on Ye Nuonuo's command.

If it weren't for the strict iron restriction in Kyoto, Ye Nuonuo really wanted to wave the sickle in his hand in the street and live the addiction of a female general with a sickle.

However, because of the ban, the sickles carried by the three of them at this time could only be placed in the basket behind them.

The pattern of the inner city of Kyoto has not changed much in the past three years, and it is still generally the northern castle rich, and most of them live in famous families and nobles. Nancheng is poor, mainly because of the unnamed lake with abundant water all year round but does not change its blue color, as well as the huge garbage mountain by the lake.

By now, the residents of Kyoto have generally agreed that in order to completely change the situation in the southern city, perhaps one of the two monsters, Lake Mimei and the garbage mountain, must be removed or renovated.

When he was halfway through, Mo Ye suddenly frightened Ruan Luo, mentioning that the reason for his leave was originally to recuperate, but now he was going out to climb the mountain, in case he ran into Boss Jin, it would be bad. Unexpectedly, Ruan Luo was really frightened by her and proposed to go off the rails, so the three of them unconsciously went around to the strange unnamed lake.

Looking at the vast water surface where there were not even a wanderer, and the water color seemed to be poured out of the dye vat, Mo Ye couldn't help frowning slightly. It's not like she's never been to this place, but even so, every time she comes. This strange color of water in her eyes still makes her heart palpitate.

There was a temple bell not far away, and when she heard the deep and distant sound swinging in the sky, Mo Ye's mood was slightly calm, but when she looked towards the place where the bell came from, she couldn't see the not too large temple hidden in the depths of a green bamboo forest, but only saw the "hill" full of all kinds of garbage on the side of the big lake.

It seems to be extremely dirty water. With such a hill where all kinds of garbage are gathered. This is also an alternative kind of lake and mountain scenery.

A thoughtful look appeared on Mo Ye's face, and after a moment, he suddenly muttered, "Such a large area of lake, if the lake water is clear. If you plant lotus roots, you will be very beautiful in summer, and you will be able to produce lotus roots in autumn, and you can also create a lot of wealth. ”

The way she looked at the lake and frowned just now happened to be seen by Ruan Luo. Hearing her say such a sentence at this time, he also thought for a moment from this big lake. Then he added: "In the early years, Wang Zhe also told me about this lake, and when he talked about the strange color of the lake, his opinion was that the problem was the nature of the lake. It is difficult to improve for a while. Although lotus is planted in water, it has the effect of cleaning the water, but if it is planted in the sand of such a lake. I'm afraid it's going to rot all under the water, which is counterproductive. ”

This is a somewhat frustrating conclusion.

Mo Ye sighed when he heard this. He added: "It turns out that someone in the dynasty has already tried this. ”

Ye Nuonuo listened to Ruan Luo's words, and felt that he seemed to know a lot about the big lake in front of him, which was called the monster of the capital by the people, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "If you send an army to complete this project, drain all the lake water, and scrape the sand at the bottom of the lake again, it should be improved, right?" If this lake has always been like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Nancheng to become rich, and I am afraid that this great place will become the failure of Kyoto in the future. ”

Mo Ye was surprised: "Can you still do this?" ”

"Questions?" Ye Nuonuo asked rhetorically, and then said slowly: "The white reeds in the suburbs of Beicheng were almost copied to the bottom, and it was the farmers who went there to dig up the silt in order to increase the fertilizer of the fields, and dug it little by little with a dustpan. It is conceivable that if the strength of the army is used and tens of thousands of people go up together, I am afraid that this lake will not be able to be completed. ”

"You can think about it, but I'm afraid it's hard to do." Regarding Ye Nuonuo's idea, Ruan Luo quickly shook his head in denial, "If there is no major incident, the Kyoto garrison can't enter the inner city, have you forgotten?" ”

There was a limit to the number of soldiers who could defend Kyoto, and although there were about 50,000 garrisons in Kyoto, only about 10,000 were stationed in the inner castle. The remaining 40,000 soldiers were stationed in a camp ten miles away from the outer city, as a garrison on the outskirts of the city, and at any time at the command of the inner city army, and the 10,000 men in the inner city and the 40,000 men in the outer city reserve army would be moved to each other on a regular basis.

The arrangement of these soldiers is something that even the civilians of Kyoto know.

In addition to the 10,000 soldiers stationed in the castle tower, there are about 3,000 foot soldiers in Kyoto Prefecture, about 5,000 elite soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army belonging to the emperor's own soldiers, and there are about 100 people in the Yulin Guard, that is, the Ouchi masters who often accompany the royal family's relatives, plus more than 100 Beijing officials in Beijing who raise the courtyard guards, if there is a war, the imperial capital can mobilize more than 20,000 soldiers to participate in the war as quickly as possible.

But this is a wartime affair, and in peacetime, these armed personnel, whether with official military status or reserve military status, must perform their duties and spread out to maintain the daily order and security affairs of the inner city, but there is really no spare manpower.

Regarding the number arrangement pattern of the garrison, Mo Ye, who has been mixed in Lizheng Academy for five years, naturally understands the mystery, most of them can understand this kind of thing, but they can't talk too loudly.

Ye Nuonuo was naturally familiar with this kind of thing, but he was negligent for a while just now, and Ruan Luo reminded him, and immediately came back to his senses, grinning a little embarrassed.

Mo Ye pondered for a moment and then sighed again: "Nuo Nuo has a sentence that is right, if these two monsters are not governed, it will be difficult for Nancheng to become rich. ”

"Maybe there will be a chance to fix these in the future." Ruan Luo pondered for a while and then said: "In fact, the expansion of Kyoto's castle thirteen years ago and the encirclement of this lake can be regarded as a great thing for the benefit of the people. The bamboo forest on the other side of the lake was originally a muddy swamp, "swallowing" countless people, the old siege was pushed and expanded, most of the stone was used again, and the rest of the scraps were used to fill the swamp, so there was that flat land, planted a large piece of green bamboo, otherwise in the past ten years, I don't know how many people will die in it. ”

Hearing Ruan Luo explain so much, Ye Nuonuo suddenly muttered in a low voice: "I heard people say it. This place is also called the Spirit Ruins, where the junction of the yang and the underworld is torn open, and only then will the living be swallowed out of thin air. ”

Mo Ye smiled when he heard this: "This is a geological feature, since there are towering peaks on the ground, there will also be sinking pits. The shape of the swamp resembles a honeycomb on the ground, and the rows of depressions are filled with rotting silt, obstructing one's view and making it unsuspecting to step on it. The ground under our feet is not necessarily flat. Sometimes I break my foot because of this. It's just that the rugged geography of the swamp is even more unusual. ”

Ruan Luo remembered that she often read the pile of books left by Wang Zhe carefully, so she smiled and said, "Ye Mei is reasonable. ”

Ye Nuonuo is a medical student, and he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. It's only because the lake is too wide, and the green water seems to reflect people's faces a little green, so I think of those rumors and say this.

Since the two people who met with him didn't take this kind of thing to heart. She also threw away the faint fear in her heart, and then calmly and objectively remembered something. He took Ruan Luo's hand and asked, "Since the swamp is filled with urban construction waste, why can't the lake be filled in as well." There happens to be such a big pile of waste next to it, and the vacant land created by filling in the lake can be used to build a house, regardless of what kind of mess is pressed underneath it. ”

Ruan Luo looked sideways at Ye Nuonuo. Wen Yan said: "When filling in the swamp, the Ministry of Industry has already sent people to measure this lake to fill it up. The pile on the side is not enough. And this scenario needs to be implemented with caution, because the waste goes into the water. It may make the entire Nancheng air fall into a foul smell again, and if you don't fully grasp it, you can't move it. ”

Ye Nuonuo's face became worried, and he sighed: "It turns out that this method has already been thought of." ”

Mo Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "Just you, an eleven-year-old girl, can you surpass the big group of talented people in the court in terms of wisdom?" The numbers are not equal, so you might as well think about our trip to the Foggy Mountains. ”

Ye Nuono said disapprerovitically: "It is undeniable that you have a point, but this does not stop my personal thoughts. Imagine that there are tens of thousands of people in Kyoto, and everyone is thinking of a way to do this, and it may not be worse than those hundreds of officials. ”

Ruan Luo quickly nodded again and smiled, "The promise is reasonable. ”

However, before Ye Nuonuo could be happy for a while after he got the praise, Ruan Luo said again: "Although everyone's plan is good, for the transformation and construction of this lake, this method has also failed. Most people's idea is the same as Nono's, which is to fill the lake with garbage mountains, but judging from the number of measurements, this is certainly not possible. ”

It turned out that the imperial court had even thought about this method and had done it.

Ye Nono didn't speak again, just smacked his tongue.

Mo Ye heard another piece of information from Ruan Luo's words, and immediately said: "It seems that although this lake has not been improved at present, the national dynasty has not a lot of intentions for this lake. ”

Ruan Luo nodded and said: "This lake has a mixed reputation, its water storage capacity is very good, the rainy season is not concerned, in the dry season when there is little rain, the height of the lake rarely falls. If there is a way to clear the water quality, it will not only benefit the people's daily needs, but also help in times of war. In fact, if it weren't for the time when there was nothing to be done, the idea of the imperial court should be to renovate and fill in this lake. ”

Walking along the long shore of the lake, the talk about the lake will come to an end when the shoreline is almost over.

Looking at the sky above the lake again, Mo Ye's heart moved, and he sighed: "If this lake is cured, Nancheng will become rich, and the speed should surpass that of the other three cities." ”

Ruan Luo agreed: "Abundant water nourishes a qiē." ”

……

As they walked, the three of them said that the reason why they would talk about the poverty of Nancheng when they mentioned this lake was because the unknown lake occupied most of the area of Nancheng, and the houses built around the lake were all dilapidated.

Obviously, no one with a little background in the family would be willing to settle their home in this lake covered with a ghost hat. Even without the rumors, this large green lake looks terrifying, as if even the bright sunlight has been absorbed by it, and it must be even more permeable when the sun fades in the evening.

Fortunately, the shoreline of the lake came to an end, and it was very close to the gate of the southern city, and the three of them talked all the way, but they didn't think that the road was too long.

Located on the southern outskirts of Kyoto, the foggy mountains are named for their high forests, which are the main reason for the lingering fog. In foggy weather, the fog on the mountain can last until noon before it is gradually exposed to the stronger sunlight at noon. Even if the weather is clear, the humidity of the air in the deep mountains is extremely strong.

In Ye Zhengming's view, such a mountain environment. It is easiest to grow naturally from the miracle medicine senzhi.

When Mo Ye and his party left the gate of Nancheng, the morning sun was already very bright, and when the three of them walked into the Wushan Mountain Range, the feeling of coolness suddenly became obvious, and they didn't go far, I don't know if it was the fog or the moisture emitted by the rich vegetation that had wet the hair on their foreheads.

The mountain road was not only rugged, but also knee-deep grass. Fortunately, the barrel of the boots is high enough. Otherwise, there is no need to walk to the mountainside, and ordinary cloth shoes are estimated to be wet inside.

At the beginning of the climb, the three of them had already held the long sickle in the basket behind their backs. It is used to split grass to open the way. At first, it was Yeno who was at the forefront, and she seemed excited to lead the way, claiming to live up to the name of the female general of the sickle, but she ended up walking less than a mile of mountain road. It's already soft and backward. As a result, the infantry formation was slightly replaced, and Ruan Luo was at the forefront.

In fact, if you rely on strength. It should be the most appropriate for Mo Ye to walk in front, but she still hides her martial arts training from everyone, and if it is not necessary, she is ready to keep it like this. That's it. As a man, Ruan Luo, who is tall and tall, walks in front of the two women to open the way, which is also appropriate.

There is no well-directed roadbed on the mountain. The forest is dense, and the sparse trees are not necessarily easy to walk. Because they were all covered with deep grass that was half dry and half green, the three of them groped their way forward, only knowing that they were generally walking towards the mountains, and they would definitely walk a little more and work harder.

After walking like this for about an hour, the three of them were already sweating on their foreheads, Ruan Luo and Ye Nuonuo were a little gasped, but they were concentrating on the road ahead, but they didn't notice that Mo Ye, who was walking at the end, was breathing as usual, and most of the moisture on her forehead was caused by the water vapor of the mountains and forests, and it was not as much as the two people in front of her.

The sun was shining brightly, and the thin mist contained in the mountains and forests finally completely dispersed, and the three of them didn't know where they had reached Wushan, but in short, they suddenly saw a relatively flat clearing appear in front of them. For some reason, the deep thatch grew around this clearing, and naturally stopped spreading, and the clearing was only covered with a layer of light grass, which looked a little strange.

After a brief discussion, the three of them walked into the flat ground, sat on the ground, and rested for a while.

took out the water bladder he brought and drank saliva, moistened his throat that was a little dry, and after plugging the cork, Ye Nuonuo pinched the skin water bladder, and suddenly remembered the sandbag made by Shi Yi and what he said, and couldn't help but say in novelty: "I remember yesterday Brother B said that in that strange bag called 'Hand Warmer', if you use water to replace the sea sand, it will feel better." Is it possible to put water in it like a water bladder? ”

Ruan Luo, who was sitting next to her, didn't expect that she had always remembered this, although she didn't speak, but her heart suddenly touched a little.

Mo Ye, who was sitting on the other side, said with a smile: "Yo, you changed your words so quickly and stopped calling him a bad stone?" But that's okay, as far as you are Brother B, he must be willing to carefully teach you the method of changing sandbags to water bags step by step. ”

"Cut, it's kind of cheap him." Ye Nuonuo muttered in a low voice, although she didn't say anything to refute Mo Ye, but obviously she still had a little unhappiness in her heart when she had just changed Shi Yi's title.

Seeing that she was silent, Mo Ye didn't plan to play with her on this issue anymore, but turned his gaze to Ruan Luo, and said, "Brother Ruan, you have always had a weak stomach, drink less cold water." ”

As soon as she said this, Ye Nuonuo, who was silent, immediately echoed it.

"It's okay, it's been a little ......hot all the way," Ruan Luo's tone hesitated halfway through his words, because he saw the two girls' concerned eyes staring straight at him, and finally had to change his words, "Okay......"

After resting for a while, Mo Ye looked around, and then asked Ye Nuonuo: "Uncle Ye often comes to this mountain, didn't he tell you any shortcuts?" ”

Ye Nuono immediately shook his head and said, "He only told me that if I go around to the west and climb the mountain, I will definitely reach that valley." But the stretch of the Foggy Mountains was so wide that the traces he had walked alone were too shallow, and sometimes even he couldn't find the way he had walked the day before. That's why we have to bring a long sickle, one to open the way, the other to leave the road behind, and then return the same way. ”

Mo Ye couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "This mountain is also peculiar enough, it is so close to Kyoto, but it is difficult to find any traces of people." ”

"The grass is too deep, the forest is too dense, I'm afraid no one wants to come here except for the mountain bandits." Ye Nuonuo shook his head slightly, "But to be honest." The reason why ordinary people don't want to come here is actually related to mountain bandits. I heard that there was really a big nest of mountain bandits on this mountain before, and they did some things to block the road and rob, but fortunately, not long after the change of dynasty, the Kyoto Prefecture sent thousands of elite soldiers to go up the mountain to put an end to the mountain bandits. ”

"Good thing." Mo Ye admittedly praised it. Because she suddenly remembered Wu Shu's matter. If there were no bandits, I wonder how many families would have been spared.

Then Mo Ye naturally remembered his life experience, could it be that his family was also robbed and killed by mountain bandits. Will you start from a young age and be so adrift? However, she quickly shook her head again and extinguished the thought, because she thought of Master.

If it's a mountain bandit, Master, he can't help it?

However, no matter how strong he is. There are indeed people who can't help it.

Thinking of this, Mo Ye suddenly had a strong impulse in his heart. I really hope that one or two mountain bandits can appear out of thin air at this time and practice her skills. At the very least, she had to prove that she could fully defend herself against the bandits, and then she could boost her confidence and face stronger opponents.

He has been practicing martial arts to this day. She hadn't actually met an opponent who would threaten her personally.

However, she glanced sideways at the two people who were traveling with her, and quickly dispelled the idea. The companion is innocent and does not know martial arts. If there are really mountain bandits coming out, it will be really troublesome. She suddenly felt ridiculous at what she had just thought.

Ye Nuonuo saw that after mentioning the mountain bandits, Mo Ye fell into a long silence, she was a little mistaken, and laughed and said, "Don't worry, there can be no more bandits on this mountain." A few years ago, when the officers and soldiers of Kyoto Prefecture went up the mountain to encircle and suppress, they not only arrested a large group of people and put them in prison, but also set the cottage on fire, and the smoke of the fire burned all day, and the villagers living around the mountain could see it clearly. Who doesn't have long eyes would dare to fall into the grass on this mountain. ”

Mo Ye could hear that Ye Nono had misunderstood her thoughts, but she wasn't going to defend anything. And in her opinion, Ye Nuonuo's words are not wrong, Ye Zhengming has been to this mountain hundreds of times, as long as he encounters bandits on this mountain once, he will never allow her only daughter to come here to take risks.

However, unfortunately, as soon as Mo Ye had this idea, she vaguely heard the sound of swishing grass coming from the nearby grass.

After practicing the kung fu of receiving the hidden weapon for more than half a year, and with the help of the internal skills of the Qianzhao Sutra, Mo Ye's hearing is different from the sensitivity of ordinary people, and he can hear that the sound is not very like it is made by the mountain wind, but like something sensitive approaching.

After listening for a while, Mo Ye did not sit on the ground again, and in order not to affect her hearing, she stood up very slowly.

The Kiriyama Mountains are located on the southern outskirts of Kyoto, not far from the eastern coast, so the sea breeze is non-stop, and there is no shortage of gentle breezes on the mountains. After Mo Ye stood up, he looked around, and saw that the deep and dense thatch around him was swaying slightly in the wind, and there seemed to be nothing strange about it.

Despite seeing this, Mo Ye still did not let her guard down, because the strange sound she heard in her ears had not disappeared, and it was obvious that in this moment, she was getting closer to her side.

Seeing that Mo Ye's expression was different, staring around and constantly glancing, Ye Nuonuo also stood up and looked in the direction of Mo Ye's scan and found nothing after looking at it for a while, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "It won't be so coincidental......

Before the last syllable of her words fell, she suddenly saw Mo Ye's eyes condensed, and she said quickly: "Don't make a sound." ”

Seeing this scene, Ruan Luo also stood up.

When Ye Nuonuo opened her mouth to speak, Mo Ye clearly heard that the sound of squirming suddenly accelerated the speed of approaching, she seemed to understand a little, and said, "Be careful...... There are snakes. When he said these four words in a very low voice, Mo Ye had already pulled out the long sickle pinned to the side of the basket and tightened his grip on the wooden handle.

Ye Nuonuo heard this, although she didn't speak, but her face couldn't help showing an unbelievable look.

At this time, it should not be the time for cold-blooded animals such as snakes to start their activities extensively, and if no one touches them, snakes will not take the initiative to attack people, but ...... But Ye Nuonuo soon found that the deep grass a few steps away suddenly forked, and a green shadow slowly crawled out of it!

……

When the southern cities and counties have entered spring, the vegetation has recovered and the temperature has risen, in the north of Zhaoguo, it is still like the middle of winter, although the snow has stopped early, but the temperature is still low close to freezing.

There is nothing new in this land, and the dry grass has been disturbed by the dry and cold wind for a whole winter, and it is almost unbearable. Even a light breeze sweeping the floor can pick up a cloud of dust.

However, three years ago, Lin Shan, who had not recovered from a serious injury, insisted on leaving Beijing, but he came to this place.

In fact, he insisted on coming to the Northlands with cooler temperatures and too long winters, except for the ease of his control over certain things west of the realm. It is also for business reasons. At that time, the area of his wounds was too large, and I was afraid that as the hot and humid climate in Kyoto increased day by day in late spring, it would not be conducive to recuperation, so he planned to go to the dry and cold north.

Fortunately, Lin Shan has always had Liao Shi by his side.

This old man with an ugly face and a rickety back used medicine ruthlessly and fiercely, but he was able to hold people's lives, and Lin Shan, the plan to travel north, also discussed with him, and also got his final consent. Only then can we have the confidence to set off.

Three years have passed. Lin Shan's injuries were all healed, in fact, more than a year ago, the most severe burns on his back were considered to have been completely healed. The newly grown layer of flesh was also solid, and it did not hinder the strenuous exercise that he usually practiced swordsmanship occasionally.

It's just that for some reason, Lin Shan's body after the injury is much worse than in the past, and he is only in his early thirties. It used to be a good black hair, but now it is nearly half white. Someone who has seen him as he is. Seeing him like him now, I can't help but be a little frightened.

And only the two people who came to the north in the same car with him knew that the reason for his gray hair was because of the hanging ginseng soup. Liao Shi once said that the medicinal properties of that kind of ginseng are too strong. Although it can save the dying person, the adverse effects are also strong and appear after a few years of medication.

This is not effective. That is, it overstimulates the body's functions and causes premature aging.

However, with the condition of Lin Shan's serious injury back then. If Liao Shi didn't use this fierce medicine, he might not be able to save his life. Or to put it another way, if it weren't for Liao Shi squatting in Dafeng Ridge for a few years and just getting this ginseng, then maybe he wouldn't be able to save his life even if he was by Lin Shan's side.

Regarding the details of this matter, although the two people who traveled north with Lin Shan three years ago were shocked and distressed, they had no reason to blame Liao Shi.

Although Liao Shi's method of applying medicine is as criticized by the rumors in the world, I have to say that only he can do this. People die like lights going out, and he can save Lin Shan's life, which is already a great achievement.

As for Lin Shan, although he has already shown signs of accelerated aging on his body, he is currently only showing the characteristic of graying his hair. And under Lin Shan's repeated requests, Liao Shi, the strange old man, didn't know how to use a black pigment to cover up this abnormal change in his hair.

But Lin Shan knew very well in his heart that the concealment method was not the solution after all, but even Liao Shi couldn't think of a way to improve this matter, so the only thing he could do was to hurry up and complete the major events that had been planned for a long time while he still had enough energy.

In a small town more than ten miles away from the northland and the border army camp, in the courtyard of a second-entry house, in the study next to the main house, smokeless bamboo charcoal bakes the inside of the house as warm as early summer. However, the charcoal-burning house should not be completely sealed, and at least half a window should be left to keep the air circulating, so that a trace of cold air penetrated into the house through the window hole outside the house will be even colder than the warmth inside the house.

Reading an unnamed book for a morning, Lin Shan already felt unbearable tiredness disturbing his spirit, three years ago he often stayed up all night, now it is absolutely difficult to do, even if he reads a book for a long time during the day, he will be a little mentally divergent.

He didn't like it, but he couldn't stop it from dwindling.

With his left hand, he stretched out a finger and pressed it on the page he saw, covering the cover, while his right hand supported half of his face, bowed slightly, and he was about to take a nap and rest for a while, but he didn't expect that this closed eye fell asleep quickly, and gradually lay down on the table on a stack of books.
