Early in the morning step out of the city, go straight to the north of Jiankang, take a boat faster than riding a horse, you can arrive in a day, pass by the Shogunate Mountain, see the five peaks towering, as the back of Jiankang to defend the portal, the location of the Wang Guide Shogunate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Xie An and Liu Yi paused at the ferry port under the shogunate mountain, and when they crossed to the south of the Jin Dynasty, they were named Wumadu because there were Sima Rui, Sima Yi, Sima Zong, Sima You, and Sima Hong crossing the river here.

The so-called five horses crossed the river, and one horse turned into a dragon, and this dragon was Sima Rui, the emperor of the Jin Yuan Dynasty of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Now nearly 20 years have passed, Sima Rui has passed away, Sima Yi has been demoted to an official, Sima Zong's defection and whereabouts are unknown, Sima You has died of illness, Sima Hong has suffered from madness, and then thinking about the origin of the name of Wumadu, it can only cause people to sigh.

The mountains along the river are continuous, and the river is tortuous, and if you want to get to the village where Liu's mother and sister live, you need to get off the boat and walk for a while.

It's just that the scenery along the coast has been ruined by the countless rat corpses, if it can be used as food in the year of the catastrophe, now the displaced people don't want to eat this thing even if they gnaw grass roots, not to mention that Jiang Zuo has lived for nearly 20 years, and has just gotten rid of the poverty and embarrassment when he just went south, the water and soil are good, the climate is good, as long as there is labor, he can reclaim wasteland and plant.

Liu Yi's mother was originally going to come to Zhidu to visit relatives and friends, all fled from the north, if you are lucky enough to be an official in Beijing or gain a foothold in the rich land of Sanwu, but the Liu family is the same as most of the low-level scholars, although the ancestors have a good reputation, to their generation, poverty is still the biggest trouble, the Liu family can be out of the Liu Yi who is now famous in Beijing is also thanks to Wang Dao's appreciation and promotion, and at the same time, how many scholars sincerely serve Wang Dao as the first person of the gate lord Shi clan, just because of his insight.

Xie An took Shen Jin out of the city together, originally Shen Jin was responsible for his safety, plus Shen Jin said that now Adin is on Xinzhou Island on the Yangtze River near the shogunate, and he will go to the island to meet Adin after saving people.

And Xinzhou Island is in the center of the Yangtze River, there is not only the Eastern Jin Dynasty military camp on the island, but also the horse farm opened up by the Shen family. Ordinary people are not allowed to go to the island at will.

Since Shen Jin had a meritorious service for lurking in the Guangling Qian family, although he had not been rewarded for his father's affairs, his wanted warrant had been removed, and the trade line that the Shen family had originally cut off once again connected the north and the south. There is a lesson from the past, the Shen family is now very low-key, and most of the business is either based on Xie An's suggestion, or it is beneficial to the Langya Wang family and the Sima family.

If the development trend is good, becoming an imperial businessman is just around the corner.

As a prince, Sima Yu naturally couldn't follow him out of the city. Envy and jealousy can't be, the Sima clan withered, if he goes out and encounters danger, there is no master like Shen Jin to protect him.

As soon as Huang Chuping heard that he wanted to save people, he didn't need Xie An's words to follow on the road, and he could broaden his knowledge along the way and make purchases for retreat alchemy.

At the end of April, the green hills on both sides of the strait, the weeping willows are full of reeds, which is a good scenery to go out and play. But seeing Liu Yi's worried appearance, Huang Chuping didn't dare to laugh in front of him, although he persuaded a few words of "everything is wrapped up in me Huang Xiaoxian", but Liu Yi saw his monkey-like appearance with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and his heart hung again.

Looking ahead, on the boat, only when he saw Xie An, Liu Yi felt a little comforted, it turned out that this San Lang was worthy of his name, and he was really a precocious teenager. Steady and steady.

Liu Yi's sister has a single name with the word "Rong", she is sixteen years old, and she was originally a lively girl, but now she is not only gloomy when she is sick. The look in his eyes was lost, and when Liu Yi saw Liu Rong, he immediately knelt beside the sickbed regardless of the danger of infection, and choked up his sister's name, "Rong'er." Brother is here, don't be afraid. ”

Xie An had already put on a mask on his face, and followed Huang Chuping around to investigate the condition, Huang Chuping had a lot of experience, and knew that Xie An was the first time, so he taught him some simple medical theory while visiting the patient, and said: "Shi Niang said, you are very smart, you can get started with a little mention, if you want to go deeper, you have to work hard to see more symptoms, but she said that you are a person who does big things, you don't have to worry too much about this, it is enough to know how to protect yourself." ”

After looking around, Huang Chuping asked Shen Jin to help him go to the river to pick Artemisia annua, and then dragged Liu Yi out of Liu Rong's room, and crushed the Qingxin pills prepared before going out for Liu Rong to swallow.

"Recently, the climate has been alternating between cold and hot, and if you are weak, you are very susceptible to wind chill and other miscellaneous diseases."

Huang Chuping took Xie An to stand on a high place, looking at the rat corpses floating on the not spacious river, and the calm water surface became black for a while, Huang Chuping asked: "The little senior brother also learned astrology and arithmetic, and he also learned to know the wind and rain like Mr. Zhuge did?" ”

"It is said that the east wind sends moisture, and now it is the east wind, and you can also see the clouds." Xie An sighed, "The clouds are thin and the sky is clear, the clouds are thick and the sky is cloudy, the clouds are like hooks, then it rains, and if the clouds are like fortresses, there are thunderstorms......"

Xie An said a lot, Huang Chuping was dizzy when he heard it, looked up at the sky, and in the twilight, he saw the thin clouds outside the distant mountains flying like cursive, faintly like seeing a herd of galloping horses, and couldn't help but say: "Zhuangziyun, wild horses, dust." This cloud is like a herd of horses, running into the realm of the outside, but it is fascinating. ”

Xie An also echoed: "The wild horse dust has dissipated in an instant, but it has been thousands of years. ”

After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, and then looked at each other.

Shen Jin and Liu Yi had already picked a lot of Artemisia annua, seeing that these two were like immortals and the other were picturesque, and they were still chatting about Xuanyan, and there was an unreal sense of disappearing with the clouds in a trance, Shen Jin hurriedly interrupted the two and said, "Can you do the right thing first and then sigh Xuandao?" This villager is still waiting for your medicine. ”

Liu Yi saw that his sister had been able to sit up after drinking Huang Chuping's medicine, and his face and emotions had eased a lot, so he couldn't help but look at Xie An again, this person really didn't do anything, just followed Huang Chuping to take a look, and now he is still in the mood to look at the scenery and talk about metaphysics, and I don't know whether to admire his temperament of being at ease when he comes, or blame himself for having too much hope for him, this young man is just a well-connected.

Huang Chuping touched his belly and sighed: "I'm used to being hungry, but the status of the little senior brother is noble, if you starve him, none of you can afford it." ”

"Do you know how to cook?" Xie An asked, and Shen Jin smiled at Liu Yi, "Ahri can make food, now that the fish in the river can't be eaten, I'll go get some game, so that Little Lady Liu can open the meat." ”

Huang Chuping agreed: "Yes, Sister Ling's actual weakness is mostly due to the fact that she didn't open meat, she only eats some gruel all day long, and she has to get sick if she is not sick." Ah Jin, the pheasant and hare must have! ”

Shen Jin smiled and took a bow and walked towards the mountains, Xie An began to go into the kitchen to make side dishes with dry goods and wild vegetables under Liu Yi's gaze, and the porridge naturally still had to be made, but there were supplements such as red dates brought out from Jiankang in it, which were eaten as snacks on the way. Before going out, he was stuffed into a few pockets by Xie Lang.

Then Xie An followed Huang Chuping and began to make Artemisia annua juice, which seemed to be a hand that only held a pen and turned the book, and there was no rustiness at all, which made the Liu family stunned.

After Liu Rong finished eating, Xie An took out a silver needle to help her prick a few stitches. At first, Liu Yi was still afraid that he would come nonsense, but when he saw Huang Chuping interested in taking notes and studying, Liu Yi knew that Xie An had practiced with the people around him over the years, and this acupuncture and moxibustion burning technique was not even as good as the imperial doctor in the palace. After all, Bao Gu is the researcher of this method.

After a few injections, coupled with Huang Chuping's medicine, Liu Rong's face faded away, and his eyes gradually brightened, and in the early morning of the second day, Liu Rong's cheeks were already faintly crimson, and he could still get out of bed and walk.

Liu Yi was overjoyed and wanted to find Xie An, but he didn't think that he had already sent medicine door-to-door with Huang Chuping, and asked Shen Jin to find out. The two brothers stayed up almost all night, and made dozens of barrels of Artemisia annua juice overnight and distributed them to various families.

It was not until noon that Xie An returned with Huang Chuping, and there was a red crow with dazzling fur standing on Xie An's arm, as soon as he entered the room, he began to sit down and reply to the letter, and then said to the red crow: "One for Asu, one for the teacher, and the one for the teacher, the seal is given to the teacher, so go to Asu first, and let her bring the letter." ”

The crow squeaked a few times. In a panic, he flew away.

Liu Yi didn't know how many times his cognition of Xie An had been refreshed in just two days, and he couldn't help asking, "This crow ...... But the one raised in the palace? ”

Xie An nodded, "It's not a waste of food to send letters." ”

Liu Yi asked again: "Why do you want to send a letter to your teacher?" But what happened? Do I need to report back to the Huiji King? ”

Xie An said lightly: "It's just a routine report on the schedule and the disaster situation, I'll tell the teacher." Naturally, he would tell Ah Yu how to do it. ”

Liu Yi asked, "Teacher? Lord Bian? ”

Huang Chuping interjected: "Your teacher is the master of the West Garden?" The red bird lends you, the West Garden also lends you, and the young master of the dignified Shen family is also your escort...... This student was not in vain. ”

Shen Jin smiled and said nothing, Liu Yan on the side came to his senses, what kind of Lord Bian, can he afford to be the young master of the Shen family in the Red Crow West Garden...... This can only be Situ Wang Dao.

I had never heard of the relationship between Xie An and Master Wang's apprenticeship before. Obviously, only people from Wang Dao's faction can know, no wonder Sima Yu must have a good relationship with Xie An, Wang Meng is also a mirror in his heart, and he knows that the little Langjun in front of him is even more open than his brother in the queen's career.

Leaving the Liu family to sigh, Xie An saw that Liu Rong's illness had recovered, leaving Huang Chuping and Liu Yi behind, and took Shen Jin to Xinzhou Racecourse.

Liu Yu also took on the task of Sima Yu, and decided to bid farewell to his sister, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and went with Huang Chuping to inspect the villages along the river with signs of epidemics, and extinguish the signs as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Huang Chuping asked Xie An again, "Little senior brother, can you see when it will rain?" ”

Xie An washed the leftover turtle shell, took a few Shen Lang coins and covered them under the turtle shell for divination, and then said seriously: "The sky is going to rain, the little lady is going to get married, even if the hexagram can't be said, the sky has to fall." ”

Huang Chuping laughed heartily, "If the little senior brother travels with me to the world, he will definitely be able to use this technique to make us worry about food and clothing." ”

Xie An whispered: "I really didn't study this course seriously, because my family Ah Su has already learned it, she came to the letter and said that three days later, the sky will rain and let me be careful about sailing, you see that it has been hot for several days, if this rainstorm comes, I am afraid that it will be very happy." ”

Wang Xizhi's weather forecast is surprisingly accurate, Xie An took a boat to Xinzhou that night, all the way to the cloudy city, just landed on the shore was drenched by the heavy rain, this wind and rain came in time, can not only give birth to all things, but also wash away the river rodent infestation, the best of both worlds.

The people who came to pick them up were all black ponchos, and Xie An couldn't help but think that the predecessor of the Wuyi Battalion, which was originally built in Wuyi, was named after the sergeants who wore black clothes.

He also got a black poncho, and when he returned to his temporary accommodation, he was still drenched.

Rainy days are the most suitable for drinking tea and chatting, but Shen Jin chatted happily with Adin this time, leaving Xie An completely out of the topic, Xie An saw that the rain was a little weaker, so he simply wore a poncho and went to the racecourse.

Since he saw the good horse of Ma Xiang, he has not found his favorite horse in recent years, and now he is riding in Jiankang is a birthday gift from Xie Shang, but this horse is not strong enough, it is a conservative and stable Wen Shui character, so that he is left behind every time he races with Huan Wen, and he can't help but be laughed at by Huan Wen.

In his previous correspondence with Murong Ke, Murong Ba also mentioned Ma Xiang, but at that time he only skipped it lightly, only saying that this strange man naturally took his two good horses around to cheat and cheat, but he didn't think that Ma Xiang really gave the black horse to Murong Ke, and told Murong Ba that this white horse is the owner is Xie An.

But now, Xie An is empty-handed, and he hasn't even seen Ma Mao.

To say that he has not practiced riding in vain in the past few years, he has really practiced with sweat with Huan Wen, if he loses to the equipment is not good, he can't hold his breath.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the stable, he saw a wave of beggar-like people gnawing on rabbit legs, and the housekeeper of the Shen family's horse farm was still very attentive to him.

……

Hemp undergarment. This outfit is only a hemp shirt. The linen clothes and messy hair that have not been changed all year round, but now there are several wolf teeth hanging on the waist as decoration, and he looks like he has just returned from a trip to Liaodong.

Ma Xiang was not polite, and when he saw him, he asked: "Xiao Langjun, I haven't seen you for four years, how are your riding skills?" I wonder if I will be left behind by my white horse again? ”

Seeing Xie An, the steward of the horse farm greeted Xie An with a smile on his face: "San Lang, Lord Ma Xiang has helped us choose a lot of good horses in the north, and Adin invited him to raise foals for us here for a few years." ”

"Adin is not afraid that you will run away after eating white food rolls?" Xie An smiled faintly, "Zhi Daolin still hates you, you see that he is dedicated to the Buddha's dusty nature, and he never forgets your betrayal that day, if you don't give him an explanation, I'm afraid it will become a demon obstacle in his heart." ”

Ma Xiang's eyes widened, "Could it be that he can't see it because of that little money?" If I break his practice, it's a great sin! ”

"It's not because of money, it's because of favors, he is good friends and loves horses like life, he really is your friend, if you don't sell horses, don't deceive people." Xie An said helplessly, "If you have the vision, choose a good horse for him in the Shen Family Horse Farm and send it to him." ”

Ma Xiang stuck out his tongue like a child: "Are you the master of this horse farm?"

What a really uncle naughty boy, Xie An supported his forehead, and the horse farm housekeeper hurriedly said: "Be the master, San Lang's words will be the same as our young master." ”

Ma Xiang smiled and said: "But the best horse here is my white horse, which was originally intended for you, we agreed before, and now you are willing to give it away?" ”

Xie An rolled his eyes, slowly walked around the stable, and finally stopped in front of the white horse manger in the hemp shirt, and said lightly: "Four years ago, you thought I was not good at riding, and now it seems that you are deliberately embarrassing me, although I am looking for a good horse, but if you think that I am not as good as Murong Ke, then I will no longer think about it, when it is wild horse dust, it will dissipate with the wind." ”
