After they accompanied Xiao Zhou, they didn't sleep all night.

Zhuo Qiaoniang's eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't know what to do when she looked at Xiao Zhouhou's heartbroken appearance. In the end, he pulled Hua Wuxiang out of the door and said in a low voice: "You are also a royal doctor, think of a way!" ”

Hua Wuxiang smiled bitterly: "She is sick of her heart, she is too sad, there is no way to cure it with decoction, and the capital has left her and Li Yu too many places that remind her of the past." The clock is hard to get rid of sadness. The best thing to do is to change places and let her leave here and live in a completely unfamiliar place for a while. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang wiped her tears and said: "Her husband is dead, and her mother's family is dead in the war, where can she still belong?" ”

Hua Wuxiang's eyes rolled, and he said in a low voice: "Isn't the old brother of the Ming people going to inspect?" Or, let her go out with her. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang's eyes lit up, and she nodded slowly: "This is a good idea." I don't know if the officials agree. ”

"Brother Ying cherishes Sister Ying very much, he will definitely agree."

"Well, okay, I'll tell him about it."

Zhuo Qiaoniang and Hua Wuxiang entered the house, and when they saw Xiao Zhouhou, they were still staring blankly at the ground, as if they were unaware of the existence of others. Zhuo Qiaoniang walked to Xiao Zhouhou and sat down, glanced at Leng Yi with a helpless face, and made a look.

Leng Yi got up, but was suddenly grabbed by Xiao Zhouhou: "Don't go!" Please, don't leave me a ......"

Leng Yi hurriedly bent down and said, "If you don't go, we won't go, so we'll accompany you." ”

Hua Wuxiang said to Zhuo Qiaoniang: "You just tell the old brother here, and let Sister Ying listen to it, see if she is willing." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang thought to herself, this matter must be agreed by Xiao Zhouhou herself, and in the end, she had to ask her own opinion, so it was better to say it together in person.

Zhuo Qiaoniang said in a low voice: "Wuxiang said it just now." Ying Mei looks like this, it's best to change places. Thinking that you are going to inspect, it is better to take Yingmei with you and let her go with you to relax. What does the official think? ”

Leng Yi nodded: "That's very good!" Gently patted Xiao Zhouhou's fragrant shoulder, "Sister Ying, after dawn, I will go out with my brother to go out on patrol and relax, okay?" ”

Xiao Zhou Hou Wu hugged Leng Yi's arm and didn't move. I don't know how long it took, when everyone was already unwilling, she finally nodded.

So, Zhuo Qiaoniang and the others hurriedly prepared for Xiao Zhouhou, and called two little girls and two old mothers to follow them. There was a response on the road, and two luxury cars were prepared for Xiao Zhouhou and their master and servant to sit on.

It's ready, it's dawn.

Zhuo Qiaoniang helped Xiao Zhou to get into the car, and Leng Yi sat in a car alone. After saying goodbye to his family, under the protection of the escort team and the elite of the two hundred forbidden army, he left the city and headed east.

Because Leng Yi's inspection is not only known by Hua Rui. No more people were made known, so there were no officials to see them off.

After going out of the city to the east and walking for dozens of miles, Leng Yi ordered to turn south.

Around noon. Listened down to lunch in a small town.

The old maid helped Xiao Zhou and came down and sat down in the tavern. Xiao Zhou was stunned. Although it is not as crazy as the first time, it is still a little worrying.

When the meal came, Leng Yi asked Xiao Zhouhou in a low voice: "Let's eat something!" ”

Xiao Zhou shook his head.

"Eat a little bit of everything. If you don't eat, you'll starve. ”

Xiao Zhou did not speak.

Leng Yi shook his head helplessly. When they all finished eating, Xiao Zhou's rice bowl in front of him was not east.

Leng Yizheng was helpless. Suddenly, I heard the chirping of geese faintly in the sky. After coming to Xiao Zhou, who looked sluggish, he finally slowly turned his pretty face, looked out the window, looked at the two lines of herringbone geese, and slowly flew away to the south.

"The geese are also sad, but they are old acquaintances." In order to break the silence, Leng Yi casually recited a sentence of Li Qingzhao's words.

Xiao Zhouhou's delicate body was shocked, but he didn't turn his head, he kept looking at the wild goose going south, and disappeared at the end of his sight.

Leng Yi instructed the shopkeeper to prepare some steamed buns, so that they could be hungry and delicious after a small week on the road. Then he ordered him to set off and continue southward.

All the way south, until evening, they camped in a small village.

There is a land temple at the entrance of the village, where Leng Yi and his family live, and the soldiers and guards camp outside the temple.

Cooking on the fire, the skills of the chef in the camp are still good, but Xiao Zhouhou still has no teeth on the rice.

No matter how Leng Yi persuaded him, Xiao Zhouhou just didn't eat it. Leng Yi said a lot, but she got up and walked to the back of the temple. Leng Yi had no choice but to follow to the back of the temple.

There are some chrysanthemums planted behind the temple, and there are a lot of them on the ground, but no one cleans them.

Leng Yi said: "No one picks up the fallen flowers. What a pity."

Xiao Zhouhou stopped, looked at the yellow flowers in that place, and suddenly, said softly: "Is there a complete poem for the sentence you read at noon?" Can you read it to me? ”

Leng Yi was stunned for a moment, and then knew that she was asking about Li Qingzhao's song "Slow Voice", nodded immediately, and recited:

Looking for and seeking, cold and lonely, miserable and miserable. When it's warm and cold, it's the hardest to breathe. Three glasses and two light wines, how can he be in a hurry? The geese are also sad, but they are old acquaintances. ……

After reading Shangque, he stopped, smiled slyly, and said, "If you promise to eat, I will read it to you!" ”

Xiao Zhouhou seemed to be stunned, and he didn't applaud, he didn't admire, and he didn't say yes or no. Just stared at the yellow flowers in a daze.

Leng Yi was afraid that it would cause her epilepsy again, so he said: "Let's go back, look at this day, it seems to be raining." ”

When they returned to the temple room, it rained lightly.

The two of them sat in the room. It was dusk, and the rain was beating the plantain and sycamore behind the temple screen, ticking and ticking, adding to the sadness. In order to break this sad autumn rain, Leng Yi smiled and said: "Tomorrow we will go south for another day, and then we will turn west and go to the Qinlong area, where the scenery is beautiful and the scenery outside the plug is interesting." ”

Xiao Zhouhou ignored his topic, walked to the back window, pushed it open, looked at the sycamore in the light rain in the backyard, and suddenly said, "Bring the food." I eat. ”

Leng Yi was overjoyed, hurriedly came out, and called the maid who was waiting at the door to serve the meal.

The meal was delivered, and Xiao Zhou ate it very slowly, as if he was picking and eating rice by rice. A small bowl of rice, I ate it for almost half an hour. Then he shook his head and stopped eating.

Fortunately, after eating a little, Leng Yi's heart was slightly relieved.

Xiao Zhou walked to the back window again, looking at the raindrops, and the twilight was rising. She said softly: "Your lower que, read it and let me listen." ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "Since you have eaten, I will read it to you." He walked up to her and looked out the window. Slowly chant the next que:

"The yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, haggard and damaged, who can pick them now? Guarding the window alone, how can you be born dark! Sycamore is more and drizzle, to dusk, bit by bit. This time, what a sad word! ”

Xiao Zhouhou still looked out the window motionless for a long time. Only then did he say slowly: "Did you write it for me?" ”

"This ......"

"Don't lie to me, I know you wrote it to me, and this poem is what I am thinking at the moment......"

Leng Yi was a little embarrassed, thinking that he could write such a famous story through the ages. That's great. But he couldn't say that it was plagiarism, so he just smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want you to be like this." The deceased is gone. To live to live, still to live, so. You must be relieved from your sadness. ”

Xiao Zhou stayed for a long time before he said, "It's not that I don't want to, I can't." As long as I calm down, his figure will appear in my mind, in fact, when I arrived in the capital, he was far from being as good to me as before, he only thought about himself, and even sacrificed me for himself. But the thought of him dying makes me feel sad......"

Xiao Zhouhou's tears slowly flowed down her ice-like cheeks: "I don't know how to sleep tonight, just like you wrote, 'Guarding the window alone, how can you be born dark'......"

Leng Yi said: "If you don't worry about me, I can accompany you until you fall asleep, and then I will go back." ”

Xiao Zhouhou turned his face to look at him, and smiled sadly: "Can you accompany me for a while, and can you accompany me for a lifetime?" ”

Leng Yi was stunned.

Xiao Zhouhou turned his head to look out the window, and after a while, he said: "Don't worry, I'm fine, -- your words have said all the bitterness in my heart, but I feel that my heart is brighter." ”

Leng Yi said in a low voice: "If you want, you can tell me about your past, perhaps, you recall the past and tell all the sorrows in your heart, you will feel better in your heart." ”

"Would you like to hear it?"

"Well, actually, I admire Li Yu very much, really. He is the number one lyricist in ancient and modern times. ”

"He would be glad if the Spirit of Heaven could hear you praise him like this. Because he also admires your talent very much. Especially the song "Poppy Beauty", which said what he wanted to say most from the bottom of his heart. ”

"I also like his poems, but unfortunately, I only saw more than 30 of them, and I could recite them. But he must have written more than that, right? ”

"Yes, there are hundreds of his poems."

Leng Yilai wanted to distract her attention, and he really wanted to know about Li Yu's other poetry works, so he asked, "Can you tell me about other poems?" ”

"Okay, what do you know?"

Leng Yi recited the poems of Li Yu that had been handed down.

Xiao Zhou later began to tell him Li Yu's other poems, telling him about the process of becoming a poem, and the interesting things behind it, sometimes indulging in the sweet past and showing a knowing smile, and sometimes new because of the death of her husband and crying sadly.

The two of them continued until late at night, and then said that the east side showed the white of the fish's belly.

After this night's narration and recollection, the sadness in Xiao Zhouhou's heart has a place to pour out, he didn't fall asleep for two consecutive nights, his mood relaxed, and finally he felt tired, talking and talking, and fell asleep crookedly on the soft collapse.

This sleep, I didn't wake up until noon, I felt the warmth on my body, and when I looked down, it was Leng Yi who put his robe on her body. Xiao Zhouhou swept his eyes and saw Leng Yi also lying crookedly on the chair and sleeping soundly, so he quickly got up and wanted to put his robe on his body.

But Xiao Zhou came up later, although the action was very light, Leng Yi still woke up immediately. After looking at Xiao Zhou, he smiled and said, "Did you sleep well?" ”

"Well, why did you give me your clothes, what should you do if you catch a cold like this?"

"How can it be so delicate." Leng Yi said with a smile.

Leng Yi got up and went out, and ordered the maid and old mother to come in and serve Xiao Zhou to wash up, and then bring lunch. After the two had eaten, they ordered to set off.

After not finishing the first night, Leng Yi sat in the carriage behind Xiao Zhou and continued to say this Li Yu's poem in the carport.

Li Yu has too many poems, and he can't finish them for several days in a row. In the next few days, Leng Yi asked Xiao Zhouhou to talk about Li Yu's poems, as well as Xiao Zhouhou's own poems, and at the same time, he occasionally plagiarized some famous sentences of later generations to make fun, which naturally won Xiao Zhouhou's sincere praise.

In the blink of an eye, it had been more than ten days since they left the capital. Xiao Zhouhou's mood has gradually improved. Along the way, Leng Yi did not report to the local yamen, nor did he go to the local trial court, and accompanied Xiao Zhouhou all the time.

On this day, when they arrived at the confluence of the Yellow River and the Wei River, before entering the city, Leng Yi called Lei Zhen, the head of the Wumei Daoist and the Master of Slaughtering Oil, as well as the head of the forbidden army escort this time, and said: "Starting today, the official will pay a private visit, you must keep a distance from the official, and you are not allowed to approach!" I'll leave a mark along the way, and you will follow. Do you hear that? ”

The three of them looked at each other, and said without eyebrows: "My lord, this is too dangerous, otherwise, your subordinates will follow you, and the others will come later, how about it?" ”

Leng Yi has martial arts and a bulletproof vest, so he is not afraid of any danger. smiled: "It's okay, this time, the official is just visiting the trial court, and he is not going deep into the tiger's den, so there is no danger." If there are too many people, it is easy to be exposed, you can rest assured, the official will not take risks. ”

Master Tu You took out two short pipes from his arms and handed them to Leng Yi: "My lord, please bring this, these are two fireworks, as long as you encounter danger, your lord will aim this at the sky, pull the rope behind you, and you can shoot fireworks, we will know, and we can rush to help." ――If it was Huang's that was launched, it would only be necessary to escort reinforcements, and Master Tu You and I would have rushed with our disciples to protect you. If you encounter a large force of enemies and need to send out all reinforcements, launch the red one. Our brigade will all come. ”

"Well, very well thought out!" Leng Yi took the fireworks and put them in his arms, "We will take a tugboat and go up the Wei River to Qinzhou." You just have to follow slowly. Don't get too close, it's best to change your outfit and don't alarm the local officials! ”

"My subordinates understand!" The no-eyebrow Daoist and others agreed.

Then, Leng Yi called Xiao Zhouhou and said, "You follow them in the back and come slowly, I am in front, I want to make a private visit, it is easy to be exposed when there are too many people." All right? ”

Xiao Zhouhou shook his head and said, "I want to follow you." ”

"This ......"

"Don't worry, I won't trouble you. I changed into men's clothes. All right? I don't want to follow them. ”

Leng Yi was helpless, so he had to nod: "That's okay." ”

So, both of them changed into casual clothes. Leng Yi wore a human skin mask, but there was no suitable human skin mask for Xiao Zhouhou, so Xiao Zhouhou wiped her face with the ash at the bottom of the pot, so that she couldn't see her flowery face. Carrying the package, the two entered the city.
