CHAPTER XV

The flower shower took Bai Lan and walked on the streets of Yanliu Village, not long ago, there was a "catastrophe" here, but the villagers in front of Bai Lan did not look like a group of people who had just come from the ghost gate.

Among them, some whispered about the thrill just now, some were still moving some tables and stools in a hurry, and some were setting up big things that looked like rings not far away. A few women, on the other hand, were doing some housework, and a few were chatting at the door, embroidering on their new clothes with needles and threads. The kids were still playing.

Bai Lan asked the flower medicine master on the side: "Master Yakushi, the villagers are really quick to forget things, it has only been a long time before they have returned to their leisurely appearance." And what's the ring on the other side? ”

The Antherman's signature smile appeared on his face with a lazy meaning: "Because this village often has people from the rivers and lakes passing by, I am used to seeing swords and swords." Afterwards, they won't pay attention to it anymore, not to mention that even the people of the single family have appeared here before, and they believe in their hearts that the imperial court will protect them, which is also the belief or sustenance of the people of the prosperous world for the imperial power. ”

Bai Lan hadn't gone through the troubled times and didn't understand the dangers of the troubled times, so she just nodded.

The Anther Master pointed to the ring and continued to explain: "The old tree on the other side is called the Greeting Chief, and its story will be told later. And the ring next to it, originally the location was a place to tell stories at noon every day, but two days later is the annual food festival in the village, so during this period that the location is used to set up the ring. ”

"What is Food Day? Why the ring? "Bai Lan has stayed in the snow without a trace organization since she was a child, and her understanding of world affairs is not very clear, and what she has most contact with is some cold weapons and poisons.

The Anther Master became interested in Bai Lan's curiosity and smiled: "Of course, the ring is used to compete with each other, you should have practiced melee and heads-up in Snow Traceless, right?" ”

Bai Lan pursed her lips and said unhappily: "There used to be, and now I am arranged for a few people, or let the elders fight me." Bai Lan didn't know about her extraordinary talent, she just felt unfair when she said this.

The Anther Master was not surprised when he heard this, because he had already seen Bai Lan's skills before, and he just praised Bai Lan: "The understanding is really high." ”

As soon as she heard someone praise her, Bai Lan immediately became proud, and felt that the person who was the flower medicine master was very easy to get along with, so she continued to ask: "Master Pharmacist, what is the Food Grace Festival, and why do you want to compete with each other?" Is the Food Grace Festival better than who can eat? ”

After hearing this, the Anther Master laughed and said, "It's not that anyone can eat, the Food Grace Festival is a story in the village." In the war more than 20 years ago, the village was sacked by a group of deserters, and many villagers starved to death. Then came an army, and the commander of that army, according to legend, was a woman of great wisdom, who ordered the army to give the villagers some dry food, and stayed in the village for a while. During that time, she often sent soldiers to hunt and catch fish, and then she cooked for the villagers with the firehead. Later, in order to be grateful and cherish her memory, the villagers held such a thanksgiving day about food in March every year. ”

After Bai Lan heard this, she nodded and said, "It feels so...... In those days, a woman could actually be a military advisor, and a woman who knew military law could cook? Even now, women can't study military law, and even if they do, they won't be able to be reused. ”

The flower dropper still smiled and said, "Then Bai Lan is illiterate?" ”

"Of course it will~" Bai Lan began to tremble: "Although I am not a big lady, how can I also be a killer of Eagle Tower, Wolf Pavilion, and Snake Altar......"

The flower shower immediately covered Bai Lan's mouth, and whispered with a somewhat serious expression: "You can't say this here. ”

Bai Lan came back to her senses and nodded.

In Snow Without a Trace, it is divided into three departments: the Eagle Tower is a department dedicated to gathering intelligence and dealing with clients; The Wolf Pavilion is the killer who takes action, either openly or assassinated; The snake altar mainly attacks with poison and kills invisible masters. Of course, those who can work hard, such as Bai Lan.

After letting go of his hand, the Anther Master pointed to the ring and continued, "There are a few people in the ring who are more skilled in cooking, and below are the residents of the village. The senior ones will sit in the front row, and the best ones will be rewarded. After the competition, everyone will prepare some wine and food for each family to greet the villagers, and it is precisely because of this custom that the people in this village are relatively harmonious and will not be strangers to each other. ”

"Then Yakushi-sama, will you participate?"

After hearing this, the flower shower laughed, touched Bai Lan's head and said, "This cooking competition can only be participated in by people from this village. But we can go and see the excitement and eat delicious food, I have been practicing medicine in the village for many years, so I can also taste the craftsmanship in the ring. ”

Bai Lan suddenly became interested and said, "How about the craftsmanship?" ”

The Anther Master raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Lan and quipped, "What? Isn't that what your dad prefers? ”

After Bai Lan heard this, she suddenly looked disgusted with what she had just said, shook her head, and ignored it.

The Anther Master was squeaking and laughing.

Dongpo Academy.

Yuzu and Chai Yan ran back panting, and found Ali and the others talking to a person in the village who specially sent messages and delivered letters, and Ali and the others' faces were very ugly.

Yuzu suddenly remembered that an old man in the village passed away last year, and it was also the cremation wood that Ali ordered from the messenger.

(The custom of Xi Miao is that after a person dies, he uses a special kind of wood to be cremated with him and then sprinkled on the river.)

At this moment, Ali and the others found Yuzu coming back, and pulled the messenger to run away.

Yuzu's heart suddenly flashed a black light, she ran into the academy like crazy, slammed open the door of the wooden cake room, and found that the wooden cake was just changing clothes with her back to the door, she jumped out of the room, turned around and closed the door, and pulled the chaiyan who had just run over together, pushed it to the door and gestured with her hand.

Chai Yan didn't know what the wooden cake was doing, but Yuzu signaled, so he said through the door, "Brother wooden cake, are you okay?" ”

The voice of the wooden cake came from inside the house: "Oh, O firewood and salt, come in!" I'm fine, what about them? Didn't someone just send a message saying that sir, they were in the city to buy things for the Food Festival, and they will come back tomorrow? It's not easy for people to run such a long way, so let him come in and drink water and rest. ”

Yuzu thought that the person who sent the letter had come for this. But why did they see themselves and run away?

At this time, Mu Bi continued: "Also, Ah Li and the others have just brought the grapefruit back from Haicheng and are going to give the wine to the flower medicine master, and when the water is drunk, let the little brother who passed the message convey it to the gentleman, and let him buy it again." Yuzu didn't come back so soon, and she can't ride a horse, so I can hide it from her first. As he spoke, his voice seemed to get closer and closer to the door.

Now Yuzu understood why Ali's face was so ugly just now, and he directly pulled the messenger and ran away. However, the wooden cake was fine, and she was still relieved.

She pushed down the firewood and salt, meaning to let the other party go. Chai Yan saw that after Mu Bi said these words, Yuzu's face changed, and naturally he couldn't withdraw immediately. Yuzu signaled, and Chai Yan pulled his legs and ran.

After opening the door, he first saw the back of Chai Yan running away, and said, "What are you running?" I'm not going to eat you again. ”

Then Mubi suddenly noticed that there was a man-eating grapefruit standing next to him.

……

After a lesson, the two sat on the schoolchildren's mat in the middle of the courtyard.

Mu Bi told Yuzu what Ali had seen before, and said it with the words of Ali Kua Shan Guyue's heroism. At this time, Yuzu took out two gold bars directly from his waist, one directly on the table, and the other was observed in his hand.

When Mu Bi saw the gold bar, he was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's going on, where did you get the gold bar?" ”

Yuzu flipped the gold bar over and turned it over again, and there were two words written on it - Shan Mu.

Yuzu was startled when she saw this name, and the gold bar in her hand fell directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Mubi asked a little worriedly, "What's wrong?" Then he picked up the gold bar on the table and looked at it, and said, "How can you have a single Guyue gold bar?" ”

Yuzu panicked: "Where is Shan Guyue's!" This is clearly the Great Demon King Shan Mu...... No! O Generalissimo! ”

Mu Bi smiled and said, "Since Shan Guyue has come to Ximiao, it must be Shan Guyue!" What is the matter with Guan Danmu? Doesn't the rumor say that he has been out of government for many years because he is seriously ill? ”

Yuzu picked up the gold bar on the ground and said, "Take a good look at what is engraved on the back of the gold bar you are holding in your hand." ”

Mu Bi looked at it again, and then put it over to Yuzu to see: "It's just a 'single' word." ”

Yuzu saw that there was indeed only one "single" word on the gold bar of the wooden cake, and then, he looked at the gold bar in his hand, and it was indeed true, the gold bar in his hand was the word single herd, and the shape of the gold bar was obviously different from the wooden cake in his hand, it seemed that the piece in his hand was more age-sensitive, and the block was not so big, and it looked more like a token.

This should be a gold medal of the imperial court, not a gold bar, Shan Guyue may have taken it by mistake at that time, no! That guy wants to humiliate himself and use his status to intimidate himself! It's too much.

Yuzu thought there. Mubi shouted at her a few times, Yuzu didn't hear it, Mubiu reached out and waved it in front of Yuzu's eyes, then patted Yuzu's shoulder again, and said, "Yuzu, don't scare me." You can't have stolen it, right...... Then he came to the village to actually come to you. ”

Yuzu suddenly came back to his senses and said fiercely: "Just kidding! How could I possibly steal. After speaking, he snatched the gold bar from Mu Bi's hand.

Mu Bi asked reluctantly, "Then how did you get it?" ”

"I'm ......," Yuzu thought for a moment, and was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so she said casually: "At that time, I lent him the Anther's horse, and then he was rich and willful, and gave me two gold bars. That's it! With that, Yuzu stood up, turned and walked away.

"It's as simple as that?" Wooden Cake didn't believe it at all.

Yuzu was anxious and shouted, "Go to the village to help!" It's the Feast of Grace tomorrow night! It's endless! Isn't this just to drive away the Nanyao barbarians!? ”

Mu Bi felt that he couldn't ask anything if he asked any more, so he got up and walked in the direction of the west exit.

Suddenly, Yuzu stopped the wooden cake from behind: "Eh! ”

"What's wrong?" Mubi looked back.

Yuzu looked embarrassed and said, "Don't ...... about this."

Mubi knew that Yuzu wanted him not to tell Mr. about this, but when he saw that Yuzu's eyes were a little flustered, he thought that Yuzu might have obtained the gold bar through some bad method, but because he liked Yuzu, he decided to help Yuzu round this matter, and replied categorically: "Okay, I will promise you everything." Then he went out in style.
