The small river in the back mountain, the water is clear, and the white pebbles at the bottom of the river are clearly visible.

Song Mo stood by the river, quietly watching the shadows of the trees reflected in the gurgling water.

The stone blue brocade robe, the jasper hairpin, the upright posture, and the quiet breath, he seemed to have turned into a tree in the woods behind him, blending into the breeze and blue sky, and the silence and vastness revealed the crisp clarity of autumn.

Dou Zhao, who got off the soft sedan car, couldn't help but stagnate.

Song Mo turned his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "You're here!" ”

His eyes were gentle and his smile was sincere, but Dou Zhao suddenly lost his voice: "Why are you so thin?" ”

The originally delicate and flawless facial features were more distinct because of the thinness, making him look solemn and cold even when he was smiling.

"Really?" Song Mo smiled, "Why didn't I feel it?" ”

Dou Zhao sighed faintly in his heart.

No matter who encounters him like this, I am afraid that he will have to toss and turn and sleep uncomfortably, not to mention that he is still injured. It was not easy for him to stand in front of her.

She couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with your injury?" ”

"It's fine!" Song Mo was obviously reluctant to talk about it, and said briefly, "Let Gu Yu help invite the best imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital, and they all said that they can't be anxious, they can only recuperate slowly." I've been lying in bed eating and drinking all these days, and I've not been anywhere. Then asked her with a smile, "I heard that the ceremony is very lively, but unfortunately, I can't come to congratulate ......" There was a faint regret in his eyes, but he really felt a pity.

Dou Zhao couldn't help but slander.

Even if you don't have this, even if you don't have any injuries, can you come? In what capacity and under what pretext did you come?

The thought flashed, and I felt that I was overly worried.

What does Song Mo want to do, but what can't he do?!

Maybe it's a good thing he can't come to congratulate.

If he finds an excuse to deal with him in a bright and bright way, how can she avoid the affairs of the Song family in the future?

Then I thought of Ji Yong.

Why is it that one or two of the people she met are of such a temperament?!

Then I thought of Wu Shan and Wei Tingyu...... I only felt that Song Mo and Ji Yong both gave her a headache.

She simply didn't think about anything, looked left and right, pointed to a big bluestone not far away, and said to Song Mo: "Let's go and sit?" As soon as the words fell, I felt that there was something wrong with these words - it is said that Song Mo's injuries were very serious, and I don't know what happened now? Hurriedly said, "Forget it, let's still stand and talk, right?" I couldn't help muttering in my heart, and I didn't know if he would have trouble standing like this......

Song Mo looked at Dou Zhao and smiled, and the smile flowed from the depths of his eyes to the corners of his eyebrows.

He said softly, "I'm fine." The external injuries have long been healed, and the internal injuries ...... My uncle thinks that learning foreign kung fu is too domineering and exposed, our Song family is the emperor's close minister, I am not very good at learning this, in the early years, I deliberately found a master to tell me to practice internal health kung fu, this kung fu is like a small fire tea, to come slowly, but not in a hurry. ”

"That's good!" Dou Zhao thought that when Duan Gongyi saw Song Mo for the first time, he said that Song Mo seemed to have learned some special martial arts, thinking that the Jiang family and the Song family were both century-old Wang clans, and there must be self-defense techniques that outsiders didn't know, so he casually responded.

Song Mo smiled slightly and said, "You told me last time that there are wild vegetables in the Grange, do they grow on this back mountain?" Why haven't I seen a single one? ”

Dou Zhao couldn't help but say, "Do you know wild vegetables?" ”

"Yes!" Song Mo smiled, "I didn't know each other before, but after I went back, I asked someone to pick some back...... It's very rare that I don't know, but I know the general ones. ”

Not really!

Dou Zhao blinked.

Song Mo nodded at her very seriously.

Dou Zhao looked around, plucked a plant with oval leaves and folded it back: "What is this?" ”

"This ......" Song Mo hadn't seen it, and suddenly sweated on his forehead, and muttered, "It should be...... Be...... Leaf knotweed? ”

It's really hard work!

Dou Zhao muttered in his heart.

"That's not right!" She said solemnly, "This is a sour mold." ”

The sorrel and the leaf knotweed are very similar, but one leaf is narrower and longer, and the other is rounder.

Song Mo wiped his sweat embarrassedly.

Dou Zhao laughed.

That smile, with a little bit of urgency and a little cunning, so there was a kind of wanton flying, which brightened Song Mo's gloomy heart.

He couldn't help but laugh.

The smile softened Song Mo's eyebrows and eyes, revealing a little youthful beauty.

Dou Zhao sighed in his heart that it was a pity.

Such a beautiful teenager, but Song Yichun turned him into a murderer.

"It's also called sour." She shook the sorrel mold in her hand, "It's a wild vegetable that grows in summer, wash it with water after picking it, blanch it slightly in boiling water, and take it out and eat it." It has the effect of clearing heat and cooling the blood. ”

Song Mo took the sour mold in Dou Zhao's hand and said with a smile: "I ate okra last time, you seem to know these things very well." ”

"Hmm." Dou Zhao looked up at the three wild peach trees on the other side of the river and said with a smile, "I grew up here, and when I was a child, I used to go up the mountain with the children in the village to pick wild vegetables, and I also went down to the river to fish," she pointed to a corner by the river, "See?" In the summer, there will be a lot of wild fish there......" Dou Zhao turned around and asked him with a smile, "Can you walk?" ”

"Hmm!" Song Mo nodded, "You can move." ”

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere!" Dou Zhao walked forward with a smile and said, "If you feel struggling, just say it." With a slight pause, he said, "Don't hold it up, it's boring." ”

"I see!" Song Mo smiled and crossed the river with Dou Zhao stepping on stones.

Dou Zhao climbed the wild peach tree with his hands and feet.

Song Mo did not hesitate and climbed up after him.

He saw large fields of crops and two villages, the one to the east was Dou Zhao's Grange, a blue brick house stood in the middle of the village, and some low mud and straw houses surrounded by it. The other is strange. The two villages were about the same size and layout, and he could even see the peasants working in the fields and the people walking among the brick houses.

Dou Zhao pointed to the village that made him feel unfamiliar, and said with a smile: "That's the Lang family's grange." The people of the Lang family rarely come here, the one who takes care of the grange is a thin old villager, he has a white and chubby wife, he likes to drink very much, every time he drinks too much, he chases the old villager, the old villager scolds, and runs to the field, and the people in the grange run out to see the excitement......"

Song Mo couldn't help laughing.

He seemed to see little Dou Zhao, lying here with crooked eyebrows and watching the Lang family's Zhuang head couple fight...... That ridiculous noise, like a warm current, overflowed his indifferent heart and warmed his heart.

Dou Zhao's expression suddenly became very solemn.

She stared into Song Mo's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I don't know why Ling Zun wants to frame you!" ”

Song Mo's smile condensed at the corner of his mouth.

Dou Zhao turned his head and looked back at the two villages that seemed to be not far apart.

"You know my mother killed herself, right?" In her previous life, she often stood here overlooking the two villages, but in this life, she rarely had such an opportunity, "I often wonder, why did she have to commit suicide? Am I not worthy of her staying? Who in this world will take me to heart? Who will defend me regardless of life or death? Am I not even as good as Lai San at the head of the village? He was bullied outside every day, and his mother treated him like a baby......" A look of confusion flashed in her eyes, "Sometimes I think about it when I'm going crazy, and I'll run around the mountains...... One year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the third uncle sent me a box of Beijing-style mooncakes, I don't know why, I was very confused, and as soon as the third uncle left, I ran to the mountain, looked up suddenly, and saw these three wild peach trees...... I was wearing a new dress...... I was like a child in the village, I climbed to the tree, my clothes were torn, but I saw the old head of the Lang family being chased and beaten by his wife......" Perhaps thinking of the scene at that time, Dou Zhao smiled at the corners of his mouth, and then pointed to a family in the westernmost part of Langjiazhuang and said, "There are two daughters in that house, and their father will carry groceries and pick up groceries to go to the village every time he goes to the farm, and he will always bring them back two baked cakes when he goes home." Then he pointed to another family, "The mother-in-law of that family is very powerful, and the daughter-in-law will stand under the eaves and scold if her hands and feet are a little slower, but once her daughter-in-law was sick, she immediately went to the city to ask a doctor, and also helped her daughter-in-law boil medicine......" Dou Zhao stared at Song Mo, his eyes were bright, "You see, there are bad things in this world, but there are also good ones, if you see more people or things, you will find that there are still more good than bad!" ”

Is she trying to persuade herself not to take her father's framing of her to heart?

Song Mo's vision was a little blurry.

I don't know if it's for the words Dou Zhao said, or for her intentions towards herself.

"I just don't trust my own father very much," Dou Zhao's voice reached his ears from time to time, "so when I heard that Mr. Yan and Xu Qing were being hunted down, I kept a heart and asked Duan Gongyi and Chen Xiaofeng to go to Beijing to find out the news." If you are really framed by Ling Zun as I expected, reach out, if not...... Be careful to sail the ship of 10,000 years, just when I am worried about the sky! ”

Song Mo smiled and smiled bitterly: "It's good that you do this too much, otherwise I am afraid that I would have died in Huangquan a long time ago." ”

Dou Zhao didn't speak, she looked at the two granges under the mountain.

It was nearly noon, and smoke rose from the village.

Song Mo followed Dou Zhao's gaze and looked over.

The women who delivered the food greeted each other in twos and threes, and went to the fields with smiles and grins.

The quiet village is a little lively because of this laughter, but it is not noisy, but full of life.

Song Mo felt that his heart was also like this village, becoming quiet and light.

He turned his head to look at Dou Zhao beside him and said "thank you" softly.

"You're welcome." Dou Zhao said with a smile, "You will find that time is like an arrow, and the things that made you miserable a moment ago, as long as that moment passes, you will soon forget jì, and even the pain will be forgotten together." ”

Xia Lian, who was hiding behind the woods and looking at Song Mo and Dou Zhao from afar, was full of worry: "What do you want to say about the prince and Miss Dou Si?" How did you get up the tree? ”

Chen He thought of Dou Zhao's warning to him that he "should not make an example", and couldn't help pursing his lips.

Miss Dou Si must have wanted to tell the prince why she found out that the British prince had intentions against the prince.

He was a little absent-minded because of this, and said: "Or if there is something important, talk about it on the tree, and you definitely don't want to be overheard." ”

"Really?" Xia Lian was very suspicious, "There are even mosquitoes flying in the back mountain, who can overhear the prince and the fourth lady talking?" ”

Since the "thieves and robberies" happened in the British Mansion, whether it is the British Duke or the prince, there are many skilled guards around him. Even if he came to Zhending, the prince still brought enough manpower.
