Reminiscences of the Past Chapter 13 Shuangyi (Yi) Qingtai's Perseverance for Five Years (3)
After Xiaoyi and Chen Yi rested for a while, they continued to walk forward.
No matter where they go, they must leave the territory of the Ten Thousand Dynasty first, so that it can be considered safer.
And Lan Nian has been secretly following them, and she wants to find a suitable opportunity to tell them how to go to Qingtai.
The two of them walked all the way on the countryside roads and uninhabited deserted roads, they were afraid that someone would find out and expose their identities and whereabouts, after all, they had just escaped from the Wan Dynasty, and they didn't know that Lu Lan in the Wan Dynasty had temporarily given up chasing them.
I don't know how long they walked, but the sky gradually darkened, and the two found a ruined temple.
"No, let's stay here tonight." Xiao Yi said.
"Well, listen to you." Chen Yi nodded.
"I didn't expect that we had money, but we couldn't spend it, so it's useless to think about it when we have money." Chen Yi took out the silver taels that Lan Nian had given him earlier from his arms and sighed.
"Why is it useless, you put it away, and when we are out of the Ten Thousand Dynasty, it will naturally be useful." Xiao Yi advised.
"Got it." After hearing this, Chen Yi put the silver two into his arms again.
"It's not dark yet, so let's go to the nearby woods to see if there is any game, so we can eat it." Chen Yi thought that after eating steamed buns last night, the two of them had not eaten anything until now, and proposed.
Xiao Yi thought for a moment, and felt that this place was deserted, and there would be nothing wrong with it, so he should arrive: "Well, let's go." ”
Subsequently, the two left the ruined temple and went in search of game.
Since the two of them entered the broken temple, Lan Nian has been guarding outside the temple, and after a while, after seeing the two of them out of the broken temple, they did not go far, she knew that her opportunity had come.
She entered the temple and searched around, but she didn't find anything that could be used, so she removed a piece of silk satin from her body, saw that there was still sandalwood left on the altar, took it, and drew the direction of Wan Chao to Qingtai and the location of Qing Tai according to Wan Dynasty on the silk satin, and when she was almost finished, news of Xiao Yi and Chen Yi also came from outside the temple.
Seeing that it was too late to go out, he could only hide behind the Buddha statue in the broken temple, and when the two entered the temple, Chen Yi saw the silk satin on the ground at a glance, and he stepped forward to pick it up.
Xiao Yi also approached, and the two looked at the picture on the silk satin in front of them and looked at each other.
"Has anyone been here?" Chen Yi said.
The two of them took the silk satin and ran outside the temple again, and Lan Nian also took advantage of this time to leave the temple, and the two people who left the temple saw nothing, not even a single figure.
When the two returned to the temple, they spread the silk satin on the ground, "Who do you think this will be left behind?" Chen Yi asked.
Xiao Yi shook his head, he really couldn't figure it out, being able to leave this here means that he must have been following them since he left the Wan Dynasty.
has been following, but has not shown his whereabouts, this person is indeed suspicious.
"Could it be Nianchen's senior?" Before Xiao Yi could finish thinking, he only listened to Chen Yi again.
"If that's her, why would she do it? We didn't know her before, so why did she help us all the way here? Xiao Yi's heart was full of questions.
"I don't know, is it really that we met a nobleman?" Chen Yi is innocent.
"If it's true as you say, then that's fine, it's friend and foe." Xiao Yi said lightly.
Looking at the marks on the silk satin and the route drawn, Chen Yi seemed to have made a discovery,
"This is the route map from Wan Chao to Qingtai."
"Don't you know where Kiyodai is? You can see that? As Chen Yi said, Xiao Yi looked at the silk satin again.
"I naturally can't see it, but she wrote it, but it can be seen that she was in a hurry, and only wrote one million and one clear word." Chen Yi said and pointed to the words in the two logos on the silk satin.
This is Xiao Yi's attention, the handwriting is indeed sloppy, it can be seen that she should not have perfected this picture when they came back.
"No matter who left it for us, now that we know the way to Qingtai, we can sleep peacefully." The fear and the wind and frost experienced in the past few days really made Chen Yi tired and breathless, and now the next step is finally solved, and Chen Yi can be more relaxed.
Xiao Yi looked at Chen Yi, who had just finished sighing, and had already fallen asleep the next moment, and he knew how hard he had been these days, in addition to accompanying himself, he must be very sad in his heart.
However, in just a few days, one of them was originally the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion who was envied by everyone in the Ten Thousand Dynasties, and the other was a carefree successor of the sect, but now they have become outlaws with a deep hatred of blood, thinking that it is both hateful and ridiculous, what about everyone's envy, what about glory and wealth, once they get into the dispute in the royal family, they have to pay the price of blood and heart-rending pain.
Whenever Xiao Yi thought of his father and mother lying on the cold stone ground covered in scars, Xiao Yi's heart swelled with hatred, and when he thought of the master's reluctant expression towards Chen Yi when he and Chen Yi saw the master again, he blamed himself.
Heaven played a big joke on him, so big that he had to spend his whole life to fill the pain caused by this joke.
On this night, there was no heavy rain or blood, only endless darkness and lonely suffering.
Early the next morning, when Chen Yi woke up, he saw Xiao Yi sitting in front of him with his back to him.
"Xiao Yi, you won't stay up all night, will you?" Chen Yi got up, sat down in front of Xiao Yi and asked.
"Of course I went to sleep, I just woke up early." Xiao Yi smiled and said softly, of course he wouldn't tell the truth, otherwise Chen Yi would definitely have to worry about himself again.
"It's been a long time since I've seen such a clear sky, it's not too early, it's time for us to go." Chen Yi stretched his waist and walked outside the ruined temple, looking at the clear sky, he suddenly felt a lot more stunned.
"Well, let's go." Xiao Yi's voice rang out.
So, the two took the route map left by the strange nobleman and set off towards Qingtai.
There are mountains and rivers along the way, and the two of them, who are teenagers, seem to have been pained by the scenery along the way.
Along the way, there will be fights and splashes from time to time.
They will light a fire in the mountains and fall asleep, and return to the mountain streams and rivers to catch fish to fill their stomachs.
It's just that the traces on this line map are getting weaker and weaker, and they can only ask the nearby villagers along the road about the specific location of Qingtai.
After three or four days of travel, the two finally came to the foot of Qingtai.
And this long road, the two of them didn't know that there was always a person following them behind them, and they kept watching the two get here.
Entering Qingtai, this is a water town born by the water, the road of the water town is light and drizzling, and the water waves are rippling; Twists and turns, green and secluded, the quiet wind blows all over the whole Qingtai, the sadness of the dead vines and old trees, the long-distance of the small bridge and flowing water, the joy of the lotus leaf fields, in these countless moments, Qingtai has transformed into another pure world.
The two people who came here seemed to have been washed by this pure and beautiful place, and the smell of blood on their bodies was covered and dissipated by the fragrance of lotus flowers at this moment, although the two people were wearing white robes, they could not see its true color clearly, and blood and stains were all over it.
"Chenyi, is this Qingtai?" Xiao Yi was a little immersed in the scenery, and his tone was intoxicated.
"Well, my father told me that Qingtai is a water town, and the people live along the water."
"If I had come here earlier, maybe I wouldn't have been stained with misery." Xiao Yi's gaze dimmed.
Chen Yi knew that he was thinking of Wan Chao again, so he immediately changed the topic, "Xiao Yi, our clothes are dirty and smelly, why don't we find a place to live first, change into clean clothes, and make plans." ”
"It's fine, as you say."
On the way to Qingtai, the two did not spend the silver taels that Lan Nian gave them before, just so that they could use it in Qingtai.
They came to an inn, and as soon as they entered the door, the shopkeeper drank the two at the door.
"Hey, where did you come from, we won't take you in, let's go!"
Chen Yi was about to go up to theorize, Xiao Yi stopped him, stepped forward and said softly: "We are not called Huazi, we are here to stay in the hotel." ”
Hearing Xiao Yi say this, the shopkeeper glanced them up and down suspiciously, and said suspiciously: "Staying in the hotel? Do you have enough money? ”
Chen Yi then took out a few ingots of broken silver from his arms and gave them to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi took it, stretched out his hand and asked, "Are these enough?" ”
However, a few ingots of broken silver, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he immediately changed his attitude, and said happily: "Enough is enough, turn right upstairs and turn the third room." ”
The two then went upstairs and returned to the room, Chen Yi couldn't help but scold: "I thought that the people of Qingtai would be different from the Wan Dynasty, but now it seems that everyone in the world is the same, all of them are villains!" ”
"Okay, how can there be people in the world who can't get along with silver, but just ordinary people, how can you make them all have a noble and elegant style." Xiao Yi said with relief.
"Fortunately, I was clever enough not to take out all the money, otherwise he wouldn't have taken it all!" Chen Yi said as he took out the remaining silver from his bosom and said with joy.
Xiao Yi also smiled lightly when he saw his happy look.
"Now that we've found a place to live, let's go find two clean clothes." Chen Yi looked at himself covered in dirt and urged.
The two of them left the inn and walked down the street.
Soon, I found a ready-to-wear store and walked in.
"Two little boys, what do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop did not treat them coldly because of their torn clothes.
"Two plain shirts and robes are all that." Xiao Yi said.
"One piece, the other dark." Chen Yi retorted.
Xiao Yi looked at him, and he said, "I don't like light pigments, if it weren't for my father's liking, I wouldn't want to wear them." ”
Hearing him say this, Xiao Yi also didn't expect that he had grown up with him since he was a child, but he didn't know his preferences, so it seemed that he would have to pay more attention in the future.
"Well, as he said, one plain, one dark." Then, Xiao Yi said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, you two wait a minute."
After a short time, the shopkeeper came out with two robes, and the two took the robes, went inside, and changed the dirty clothes.
"Two, you might as well give me the dirty clothes you have changed, I think the fabric of this dress is very high-quality, why don't you give it to me, how about I give these two pieces cheaper?"
The shopkeeper took the robes that the two had changed, and said discussively.
The two of them were puzzled, they were already dirty and rotten, what was the use of the clothes, even if the fabric was good, since he wanted it, he would give it to him.
"Okay, the shopkeeper can take it if he wants." Xiao Yi said.
Afterwards, Chen Yi gave the silver, and the two returned to the inn.
But the two didn't know that it wasn't the shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop who wanted any torn clothes, but that Lan Nian had seen the shopkeeper when the two of them were changing clothes, and asked him to lie like this.
"Girl, I've got the clothes for you."
"Thank you, shopkeeper."
When Lan Nian returned to Qingtai, he was stunned for a while, he used to be full of warm memories here, but now he is for revenge.
