Zhou Manyun, who remembered his great-grandmother Meng's death taboo, was frightened, and his little head repeatedly went through all the relatives who could remember the death dates.

When Zhu's mother led her to the front yard to find the pulse of the Taoist priest once a day, Manyun didn't go back after seeing the diagnosis in order to listen more to the recent situation of the other children, and sat on the small stool next to Zhou Tan in a small way.

Zhou Tan has seen the children's conditions improve in the past few days, and he is in a good mood. What's more, he also knew that he could stay in the Zhou family with false words, and his niece's clever words that day also took advantage, so he sent Zhu's mother away and asked her to pick it up later, but instead gave some fruits and peanuts for Zhou Manyun to eat aside.

Xu Ne couldn't ask for it, and according to his selfishness, he also wanted Man Yun to stay on the side for a while. Although you can't really kidnap the little girl, but even if you meet by fate, it's still haode to explore more.

While talking to Zhou Tan, the Taoist priest fiddled with the fruit plate on the table without a trace.

Seeing that Zhou Tan was really unconscious and handed a peach that he had just added to Zhou Manyun, the little girl's small mouth also cutely swallowed a piece of peach flesh with skin.

The corners of Xu Ne's mouth hooked slightly, and naturally turned the topic back to what he was talking to Zhou Tangang when Man Yun hadn't come over yet.

"When Poor Dao was temporarily living in Sai Wan, he heard more than once that the people who had been recruited there to repair the river lamented the hardships of forced labor in recent years. Only two years ago, the Hengshui and Luohe rivers were dredged...... In the long run, the people will not be able to bear the suffering. ”

"You can open a canal and dredge the river!" , The topic of interest made Zhou Tan stand up very excitedly, explained a few words, lest he be clumsy and couldn't explain clearly, he stretched out his hand and waved, "I have a water map copied from Yin Shangshu, to be taken and shown to you." ”

Just like that, Zhou Tan lifted the curtain and left, leaving Xu Ne and Zhou Manyun alone, in a room, staring at small eyes.

Xu Ne looked at Zhou Manyun quietly, the little girl in front of her seemed to be clumsy and obedient and eating the fruit in small bites, but she was still so calm under his gaze, which showed that it was different.

"You're playing dumb!"

"Nope!" , Zhou Manyun put down the half-gnawed peach in his hand, and raised a sweet smile, "Manyun is not stupid, and he is not pretending." ”

What do you ask, is it unintentional or intentional to ask the phrase "good words are better than good words"? Although Xu Ne has a complicated experience, after all, he is unmarried and has no children, and a twelve-year-old apprentice by his side was only brought the year before last, and he is not good at dealing with little girls.

"The Taoist eats the fruit!" , Man Yun smiled, stretched out a white and tender little hand to touch the fruit plate, and then turned a red heart in his hand, the red and white contrast looked more watery.

"I haven't seen any books in your Zhou family in the past two days!" , Xu Ne simply stated the facts. Another thing that Man Yun told him that day, the so-called lonely rare book, he checked it privately and didn't look at it at all.

No? Zhou Manyun was a little surprised, in his previous life, the Zhou family in Huocheng had a library building with more than 40,000 books. When sorting out the library one year, the elders once pointed out that there were many books that were brought by Luojing when the Zhou family returned to their hometown in the fifteenth year of Yongde.

"All the books are brought back, but not all the people are back!" , This complaint that the elders agree on, Man Yun remembers very clearly.

The big thief who will drug in front of him is not easy to get along, and it is said that he has a perverse temperament, and he disagrees with him and turns himself over with drugs, but it is not cost-effective.

Zhou Manyun's eyes purred, and he calmly put the peach directly into Xu Ne's hand, "The fourth uncle has a good temperament and treats people sincerely." The gentleman is frank, and the Taoist Weishenme does not ask him directly. What's more, the Taoist should like feng shui geography, this my grandfather is not proficient, but my fourth uncle does! ”。

This latter sentence is also the impression of the previous life.

Xu Ne sighed, and gently turned the peach in his hand with one hand. The matter of searching for books is just to relieve an obsession in my heart, but it is the little girl of the Zhou family who tested her for poison again, but it was like a mud cow entering a river, with no result, which made people even more depressed.

In a sense, he wished that Man Yun would immediately show signs of poisoning, which would make his unsafe thoughts disappear.

There was silence, Zhou Manyun secretly slandered the unhappiness of this thief, dared to ask a little girl, but was timid to an adult. Thinking about the fate meeting with the Taoist priest in my previous life, I was a little more embarrassed, and I didn't know what to say.

"Are peaches sweet?" , the Taoist priest suddenly changed the topic again.

Zhou Manyun frowned, looked at the half-eaten peach in his other palm, and froze.

After a while, her pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at the Taoist priest with some horror, "It's a little too sweet...... It seems to have added honey, and there is a slight sourness in the fragrance...... What's wrong? ”

"Nope!" , Xu Ne shook his head and smiled when he heard this, as if he had just made a joke that was not funny.

"There should be ......" Zhou Manyun hesitated and closed his mouth. She immediately reacted, there should be poison on the peach, but her body is special, the Taoist priest should have discovered something, but can this peculiarity be torn apart from this thief Taoist priest and revealed?

You dodge and I dodge, and for a while, two people, one big and one small, who don't know how to communicate anymore, can only look at each other, secretly bursting with sparks.

Fortunately, Zhou Tan, who ran back in a hurry, immediately relieved the embarrassment.

There is a picture in his hand, Zhou Tan, who was a little submissive on weekdays, suddenly became kind of words, and his hand lit on the spread out drawing, "Dao Chief, look here, the Luohe River is connected to Yishui, connected to Hengshui, and connected to Guangji, just here in Fengjin, you can transfer to Tuojiang ......"

Merit in the future? The Limang in Xu Ne's eyes suddenly retracted, he had been studying geography, and he had walked the rivers and lakes for many years, Zhou Tan said, he quickly understood, some things that could not be seen, were like window paper in front of his eyes, and he understood a few points when he pierced it, but it made him more confused.

He was raised by his master since he was a child, and if the master taught him miscellaneously, he learned miscellaneously. However, he was trapped by his background and had limited knowledge, especially everything about the Chen Dynasty, which was still being re-learned.

And Zhou Tan, who likes geography and hydrology, has more contact with this subject than Xu Ne. For example, the map in front of him was tipped directly by his father from the Ministry of Industry, otherwise where can ordinary people see the water map, and even the river engineering offices in various places only have a small section of the local river map.

"This picture, the Taoist chief can take it!" , It's rare for someone to be willing to listen to their own speech, instead of reprimanding, Zhou Tan's white face flushed, and he saw that Xu Ne was still concentrating on looking at the picture, so he simply let the picture out.

Xu Ne, who has always been cold-hearted, didn't feel surprised on his face, "This, a gentleman doesn't take people's favor......"

Zhou Tan waved his hand vigorously, "I'm just mediocre and incompetent, so that's it." Don't hide it, Zhenri stays at home, and this picture is depicted in detail. I wanted to take it with me and see it on the spot. ”

"Then thank you Brother Jingting!" , Zhou Tan's generosity made Xu Ne review his previous villain's heart, and he glanced at Zhou Manyun quickly.

Zhou Manyun was taking a gap between the two of them to talk at this time, and he was concentrating on the water map and watching.

According to the method of looking at the picture that he learned from that person in his previous life, a white and tender little hand was measuring it in a good way. The more shocked he became, Zhou Manyun frowned, his heart was full of doubts, the suicide of his mother in his previous life suddenly looked particularly strange in front of this picture.

The Zhou family is really extraordinary, this young girl is also proficient in the art of mapping! Xu Ne was slightly startled, then turned his head to Zhou Tan, looked respectful, and said: "Brother Jingting, that day I ordered my niece to say that there were many unique classics that the Zhou family brought back to the countryside this time. If you have feng shui geography, I don't know if you can borrow a few books from the poor road to take a look? ”

Although Xu Ne was only looking for a book, he didn't mind casting his net wider. Zhou Xian, as one of the several talented people of the Chen Dynasty who were quoting the old news of Nanzhao more than 30 years ago, had a great possibility of having that collection of books in his hands.

To be a Taoist priest, reading feng shui is also one of the main duties, and it is also right to want to read some treasured classics. Zhou Tan hesitated, and his face was ashamed, "My father's collection of books was as early as the beginning of April, and when the family came to pick it up by boat, it was transported back to Huocheng with some other things that were not commonly used. ”

Here Xu Ne said ashamed, and over there Zhou Tan patted his chest and said that he would wait to return to Huocheng, although Xu Ne went to Zhou's mansion, he must have persuaded his father to open the bookbox to choose from.

Zhou Manyun, who was listening quietly on the side, looked blankly off the map. The two adults fought just now, she thought that she had nothing to do with herself, but the fourth uncle said the words "boat at home", which shocked her again.

In his previous life, because of Yongde's fifteen years, the elders were all taboo, and they talked very little in front of the younger generations, and Man Yun only listened to it occasionally.

Pieced together, she had the impression that her grandfather was arrested and imprisoned in Luojing, so the boat that had originally agreed to pick up people in Fengjin did not wait for the Zhou family, and then the Zhou family's children fell ill, the world was cold, and there was no boat willing to carry passengers at the expense, so that tragedies occurred frequently.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Ne retired, Zhou Manyun hurriedly grabbed the sleeve of the fourth uncle, Zhou Tan, "Fourth uncle, you said that Huo Cheng's family has a boat to pick us up?" Won't we miss because we're sick? ”

Zhou Tan hesitated, carefully made a low gesture with Zhou Manyun, and then nodded. He is used to being cautious about matters involving his mother-in-law, for fear that if he says a wrong word, he will cause trouble for his mother and wife in the backyard.
