The game of the road to the Valley of Medicine
The bright moonlight makes the winter night sky more tranquil, and the land is full of white. The night sky is endless, quiet, vast and mysterious.
The dense stars, reflected in Magnolia's eyes, were like small sparks, twinkling, her eyes were dancing with tiny points of light, and only the occasional wind blew in the courtyard.
The moonlight shrouded in, Wanfu was draped in a silver veil, and the mountains in the distance were faint, like huge and dark monsters. From time to time, there was a little bit of red fire shining on the mountain.
The night is quiet, the night sky is full of stars, reflecting the two people on the ground, Magnolia looked up at the brilliant starry sky, and her palm tightly held the arm of the housekeeper.
"Grandma, no matter what, I don't have a grudge against my father."
"Your mother is the star in the sky, and she will always protect you and your father."
There were a few black clouds floating in the sky, the moon was blocked behind, only the wisps of moonlight squeezed out of the gaps, Magnolia helped the housekeeper to turn back to the house, and the two looked at each other knowingly.
Here in Ningcheng, Yan Lanxi and I stayed in this inn for three or four days, and we had nothing to do every day, but we just made some plans for the future, and how to guard against those people in the dark.
It seemed to be a very cold evening, and I opened the window to look out at the night sky, and the whole sky was dark, and the black clouds were rolling in the sky as if they had spilled ink.
"I'm afraid it's going to snow at midnight."
I closed the window as I spoke, hugged my arms with both hands, rubbed back and forth and sat on the bed, Yan Lanxi, who was sitting at the table and reading the map, looked up at me, got up and walked in front of me.
"Put on this dress and endure it for a while, I don't know how many people are staring at us outside."
"Well, do you see anything on the map?"
Hearing this, Yan Lanxi turned around and walked back to the table, stretched out her hand to take the map in front of my eyes, pointed to a place and said to me, "Look here, this is where we are going, Medicine Valley."
"There are at least three days to go."
"yes, so we'll have to leave tomorrow anyway."
I asked, with some concern, "What if those people secretly stumble us again?" ”
"I have a way of luring out the people in the shadows, but I'm not sure I'll be able to catch them all."
Yan Lanxi frowned, looked thoughtfully at the map in my hand, and her eyes fell on a small town at the foot of Yaogu Mountain.
"Whatever the result, let's try him your way first."
"Okay."
Two intimate figures were cast on the paper-paste window paper, and Zhao Kuang and several of his subordinates stood below, their eyes looking at one of the window papers above.
"Pavilion Master, let's just look at them like this, don't we do something?"
Zhao Kuang looked at the person who was talking anxiously, and his expression moved slightly: "What do you want to do?"
"If we go back to the pavilion master, we can strike first and snatch the things over!"
"Do you know what I want?"
The man hesitated for a moment: "This...... The subordinates don't know ......"
"If you don't know, don't talk nonsense, what the pavilion master hates the most is your subordinates!"
Yun Ying'er walked out from behind them dressed in black and stood in front of Zhao Kuang, who had been outside to inquire about the news of Medicine Valley for the past few days.
Zhao Kuang heard Yun Ying'er's voice, his face softened, he turned his head to look at Yun Ying'er, and asked, "How is it?" What have you gained from inquiring about the news in the past few days? ”
"My subordinates have been wandering outside the medicine valley mountain for a long time, there is a small town there, maybe it is a good place."
"Do the people in the town have any contact with the Medicine Valley?"
"As far as I know, the disciples in the Medicine Valley will come out every once in a while to buy some daily necessities, and by the way, they will diagnose and treat the people in the town."
Zhao Kuang pondered for a while, and said to a few people around him: "Go back and rest early today, and we will leave tomorrow." ”
"Yes!"
Several people dispersed, Yun Ying'er raised her eyes to look at the window above, and when she saw the figure next to the person in the room, her eyes lowered, and she raised her legs and walked to the other side.
The next morning, I woke up early, rubbed my sleepy eyes and got out of bed, walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked, my eyes were white, it was really snowing outside! It's still a lot of snow!
The mountains, trees, and houses in the distance were all covered with a thick layer of snow, turning into a world of pink and jade. The willow trees, which have lost their leaves, are covered with fluffy, shiny silver stripes, and the evergreen pines and cypresses of winter and summer are also full of fluffy, heavy snowballs.
A gust of wind blew, the branches shook gently, the snowflakes on the branches fell, and the jade-like snow dust fluttered with the wind, reflecting the early morning sun, showing colorful colors.
The winter sun is as pale as the moon. The warm sun shone down, my eyes flashed by the snow, and from a distance, the sky above the inn was shrouded in a thin layer of clouds, like the curtain next to the bed of my daughter's boudoir, hazy.
In a nearby village, the majestic rooster announces the dawn with a rooster and sings one after another. The countryside slowly opened its sleepy eyes and woke up in the silence of the night.
The whispering breeze gently blew through the bottom of my nose, accompanied by a fresh smell. I looked into the distance, and the countryside was immersed in a hazy and hazy realm.
I got dressed and walked out the door, and a cold air rushed into my neck. Looking into the distance, snowflakes covered the earth, like a white veil, faintly, only a few bare branches of the tree bloomed with white buds.
When I looked closer, it turned out that the branches of the trees were full of white and crystal frost flowers, which were very beautiful. The sun is slowly rising overhead, the moon has faded, the morning frost has turned into crystal dewdrops, and the leaves are still falling.
When the morning mist was almost exhausted by the breeze, a new round of the morning sun rose from the far east to the glorious road paved by the morning light.
The winter sun is more like a big fiery red ball hanging in the air, lined with white snow and burning red, and soon, the surroundings are dazzling and bright yellow and clear golden light, and the heaven and earth are suddenly full of vitality and vitality.
Zhao Kuang on the other side looked down expressionlessly, his eyes were dark, there was a knock on the door outside the house, Zhao Kuang retracted his gaze and looked towards the door.
"Come in."
Yun Ying'er walked in with a hot bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns, put them on the table next to Zhao Kuang, looked up at Zhao Kuang and said, "Pavilion Master, Chun Tao is about to wake up."
"Did you feed her the potion this morning?"
"She drank it, Pavilion Master, there is something unknown to her subordinates."
"If you don't understand, just ask."
Yun Ying'er looked at the jade pendant on Zhao Kuang's waist, thinking of the half of the jade pendant found in Chun Tao's arms last night, she hesitated for a long time and asked.
"Pavilion Master, what is Chun Tao's identity?"
"She is my brother's only daughter, and she has not been heard from until she ...... after being taken away from the pavilion by the old lady of Mufu."
"Until a few months ago when she appeared in your inn, did you recognize Chun Tao?"
Yun Ying'er took Zhao Kuang's words and said what she had guessed, she had found out that something was wrong with the pavilion master since then, and every time she saw Chun Tao's appearance, she was like a loving father looking at his daughter.
"Yes, I've been looking for her for so many years, and I stayed in Jincheng to better know Mufu and find out even a little bit about her."
"The subordinates dared to ask, how did the pavilion master's brother be killed?"
Zhao Kuang's face revealed a touch of vicissitudes, this was the first time Yun Ying'er saw confusion and helplessness from the face of the pavilion master, the pavilion master in her eyes has always been decisive.
"My brother, he is a gentle and elegant scholar, he has never had anyone's blood on his hands, but those decent people who are sanctimonious, they claim to be justified in the rivers and lakes, because of me, kill my brother!"
"Pavilion Master......"
Zhao Kuang's eyes were red, his two hands were tightly clenched, and he looked at him along his line of sight, Yun Ying'er saw the woman walking below, and her eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of fierceness.
I suddenly felt a vicious stare in my back, and the sensation made my scalp tingle, and I turned to look around, catching a glimpse of a figure in the window above out of the corner of my eye.
When I looked again, the window that had been open was tightly closed. Yan Lanxi walked over quickly and naturally put her arm on my shoulder.
"What are you looking at? I've called you several times and I haven't heard you. ”
"I seem to see the people in the guest room next door, and the people in it are very similar to Yun Ying'er."
Hearing this, Yan Lanxi also looked over, but the window never opened, he reached out and grabbed my shoulders and led me back to the house.
On the way, he didn't say a word, but his tightly knit brows revealed Yan Lanxi's mood at this time, and his heart began to be restless.
"Let's pack our bags now and leave immediately!"
Yan Lanxi began to pack his luggage as he spoke, and I followed behind him, helping him hand over his clothes one by one, along with the rice flour rouge he bought when he first arrived in Ningcheng.
"Let's go, let's get out of town."
I put on a black cloak, lowered my head and walked down behind Yan Lanxi, yesterday someone seemed to recognize me as the demon girl they called, and kept staring at me with a strange expression.
"Musie, you wear this veil so that no one will recognize you."
"It's imperative that we get out of town as soon as possible, or I'm afraid something else will happen."
Yan Lanxi nodded: "If it is really what you said, Yun Ying'er and they also followed, then I am afraid that the matter will not be so simple."
"The tiger thing is also inseparable from them."
When it comes to the tiger, the monstrous hatred in my heart surges up, Chun Tao is dead and dead, they are the one who harmed it, I must get this account back!
"Guest, are you leaving?"
"Yes, we've been here for three or four days, and my wife and I should go out for a walk."
The two big teeth of the shopkeeper were exposed: "Well, the scenery of our Ningcheng is good, but it has just snowed heavily, I'm afraid it's not easy to hurry."
Yan Lanxi threw another ingot of silver to the shopkeeper: "I'm sorry to tell me which road is easy to walk here, and we should hurry back early."
"Yo! You're welcome, officer! ”
The smiling shopkeeper opened his mouth and took a bite of silver, took us out of the door courteously, and then pointed to a path in the forest and said: "That road goes out of the city faster, it is the road in the forest, which is a little dangerous."
I raised my eyes to look at the place where the shopkeeper pointed at the second finger, and the lips under the veil were pursed into a line, the road was really dangerous, and I walked up from the inn to a steep slope, and I couldn't see it here.
"The road is slippery on a snowy day, the two guest officers walk slowly, and the beasts in the forest often haunt, so the two of them think about it before leaving."
"Thanks for the directions."
The shopkeeper nodded at us, turned back and went back to the inn with a smile, Yan Lanxi and I looked at the sun on the horizon, prepared dry food and started to hurry.
