In this era, even outside the capital Luoyang, there were undeveloped barren mountains and mountains everywhere. There were no fields or villages, no place to stay, and the rain continued unabated. Fortunately, after walking for a while, Han Jian saw a house standing from a distance.

Han Jian jumped off the horse and led the horse outside the house, only to find that it was an abandoned land temple. The people in all parts of the Central Plains have the custom of sacrificing to the land princess, and there is basically a land temple where there are people.

Han Jian didn't care about anything else, he led the horse in, there was no courtyard in the Land Temple, the door panel was closed, Han Jian pushed the door open, and a strong musty smell came to his nose. The place inside was not spacious, and there were a few mice running around empty, and Yang Li'er cautiously followed behind and came in together.

The land temple is in disrepair, and the tiles above the head are broken in many places, and you can see the sky, and it rains heavily outside the house, and it rains lightly inside the house. Han Jian rarely found a place where the rain did not leak too much and sat down, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"How do you settle down in this place?" Yang Li'er looked at Han Jian who was taking off his boots with an embarrassed expression, "What are you doing?" ”

"The riding boots were full of water, and if you don't pour them out, your feet will be soaked." Han Jian took his boots and glanced at Yang Li'er, "What are you waiting for, don't you hurry up and sit?" Do you want me to go out and fix your roof and you sit again? ”

Yang Li'er glared at Han Jian with a contemptuous tone when she heard this, she didn't want to sit on the ground, so she took off her cloak and spread it on a wet grass pile, and people also sat down, but they were very restrained.

"Don't be afraid, I'm a serious person and won't take advantage of you." Han Jian said as he undressed, which made Yang Li'er frown.

"Why do you want to undress?"

"Look at what you asked, don't you feel uncomfortable wearing wet clothes? Take it off and twist the water, and it dries quickly! ”

Yang Li'er asked, "Aren't you afraid of the assassins coming again?" ”

"Assassins? Hehe, the early runner is gone, and besides, even if he comes, wearing a wet suit is cumbersome, how brisk do you see this? Han Jian was only wearing a white mid-laner, and he also showed Yang Li'er. Yang Li'er immediately turned her head and didn't look at him.

The two were silent for a while, and Yang Li'er said, "Ah! With a sneeze, Han Jian said, "Look, they're all sick." ”

Yang Li'er glared at Han Jian again, very annoyed in her heart, she didn't expect to be alone with this person in the barren mountains and mountains in such a situation. Yang Li'er asked, "Did you bring a fire fold?" ”

"Want to make a fire?" Han Jian pouted, "No play, even if the fire fold can be fought, if there is no dry firewood, where will the fire come from?" ”

Yang Li'er listened to what he said about "dry firewood", and really wanted to beat him. When she first met Han Jian, she still thought that this person was a decent gentleman, brave and strategic, but since she knew Han Jian's true identity last night, she didn't like him no matter how she looked at him.

Yang Li'er felt bad luck in her heart, and hoped that God would end this rain quickly, so that she could go out and find her way back to Luoyang City.

Han Jian sat there, his body was cold, and he looked at Yang Li'er again, at this time, Yang Li'er was wearing a wet suit, and her arms and backs seemed to be even colder. Han Jian got up and said, "Alas, this ghost weather, it's better to find a way to make a fire to keep warm." ”

"You also said, where to find it...... Firewood? ”

Yang Li'er glanced at Han Jian, and seemed to hope that she could start a fire.

"Not outside, but not all around?" Han Jian smiled, "At first glance, you have no experience in sleeping in the wilderness, this kind of place, although no one comes on weekdays, but occasionally those who are in a hurry or hunting will come to spend the night, looking around, there should be firewood." ”

Yang Li'er didn't quite understand what Han Jian said, but she seemed to think that it made sense. But she was so cold that she didn't want to get up when she sat down, so she watched Han Jian row around in the Land Temple.

It was such a dilapidated temple, it was clear at a glance, and there was nothing to it, but Han Jian was in order, but he organized a small pile of firewood and grass.

"Come and help, the grass is a little wet, it's not good." Han Jian took the fire fold and said while lighting a fire, "Forget it, I can't count on you." ”

Yang Li'er snorted angrily, looked out the door, and when she turned her head after a while, Han Jian had already lit the fire, and the flames were still quite vigorous.

"How?" Yang Li'er looked at the rising flames and felt a little incredible.

Han Jian smiled and said: "They all say that you are inexperienced, since there are hunters who come to spend the night, they will definitely bring tung oil, I found a small wooden jar in the corner." Come, you're welcome, let's get together and marry a warm. ”

Yang Li'er frowned lightly when she heard the words of "huddle together for warmth", these words were all things she had never heard elsewhere. But she wouldn't be polite, now her lips were purple from the cold, and the fire was attractive enough for her to put down the shelf.

But she stood up, and after taking two steps, she stopped again, and pointed at Han Jian's feet with a look of horror.

"What's wrong?" Han Jian lowered his head and looked, smiled, and reached out to catch a certain snake that didn't open its eyes, "There are mice here, what's the surprise of how many snakes there are?" I'm worried about being hungry and not appetizing. Come, sit. ”

Yang Li'er moved the cloak and sat down in front of the fire with palpitations, but Han Jian cut the snake body with his sword and peeled the snake's skin, looking leisurely.

"You seem to have a lot of experience." Sitting in front of the fire, Yang Li'er didn't feel so cold, and said casually while adding a piece of firewood to the firewood.

"Let it dry first, otherwise it will smoke and choke. The wet wood will dry after a while by the fire. Han Jian said first, adding, "Two old friends and I used to do this a lot, practice makes perfect...... If you don't talk about this, why are you chasing assassins? I didn't see you before. ”

Han Jian finished peeling the snake skin, found a wooden stick, skewered the snake body, and roasted it on the fire.

"You Dongwangfu escort, we Nanwangfu also have to protect, we are on your side, how can you have time? Seeing that you chased the female assassin, I also caught up, but not as fast as you. ”

"Oh." Han Jian suddenly sighed, "I don't know who these assassins are, they are menacing, and they didn't reveal any rumors in advance." It seems that many people will be unlucky in this assassin's matter. ”

"Hmm." Yang Li'er nodded. She knew that this assassination incident had highlighted the inadequacy of the palace guards and guards, and that many people would be dismissed from their posts for it.

"Do you want to take off your clothes and put them on the fire?" Han Jian asked.

"No, you don't." Yang Li'er said and tightened her clothes.

"You're just too restrained, you see how safe it is in such a remote place, and I'm a decent gentleman......"

When Yang Li'er heard Han Jian say this, she couldn't help but glance at him, but she eased her resentment and said, "The time you lifted your sword and split the arrow before, it was very heroic, if you didn't save it in time, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

"Of course, I've been practicing this since I was a child, and it's called a minute on stage...... In the blink of an eye on stage, ten years of work off the stage. A thousand days of practice are used for a while. ”

Yang Li'er heard that Han Jian always quoted some things that she had never heard of, and said as if she was talking about things, and said, "Do you practice swords with your heart on weekdays?" ”

"Although I have many aunts and many disciplines, it doesn't mean that I can't practice swords. The big husband has lofty ambitions, how can he fall into the bookbag......"

The two of them didn't have any deep hatred, Han Jian was also sharp-tongued, and he didn't like to speak in a restrained manner, so he was a little arbitrary in his words. In this way, Yang Li'er has a sense of relaxation.

In the back, the two chatted a lot like old friends, although most of the time Han Jian was talking.

"It's baked. Try. Han Jian took the roasted snake off the fire, cut it in two with his sword, and handed half of it to Yang Li'er, "Pad your stomach, I'm afraid there won't be anything to eat before dark." ”

Yang Li'er looked at the roasted snake meat, curled up together and wrinkled, it was hard for her to imagine that this thing could be eaten. But because of the embarrassment, she still took it, but didn't move. Han Jian bit it with his teeth, looking very laborious, but the food was quite delicious.

"If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it, no one will force you." Han Jian said.

As soon as Han Jian said this, Yang Li'er gritted her teeth, opened her thin lips and exposed her teeth, but she couldn't bite it. That's when she realized how hard the roasted snake meat was.

"Snake tendons are hard to bite, use some strength." Han Jian reminded.

Yang Li'er bit down hard, and then bit off a piece, chewed, and felt a little weird. After two more bites, I felt that the taste was okay.

"Such a mountain delicacy, you won't be able to eat it if you want to eat it in the future." After Han Jian finished eating, he clapped his hands, looked out of the window, and said, "The rain is light, you should find a way back later, there are wild beasts here at night, and it is not very safe." ”

Han Jian went back and sat down, and Yang Li'er also finished eating the snake meat. The two of them sat opposite each other again, and Yang Li'er stopped talking, which made Han Jian feel a little dull.

"Do you have a stringless piano?" Han Jian asked suddenly.

Yang Li'er shook her head and glared at Han Jian by the way, as if she was blaming him for borrowing the piano at the palace banquet yesterday.

"It's a pity, I didn't bring it either, I wanted to teach you how to play." Han Jian said a word, and suddenly said, "I heard that you are also a person who loves the qin, and I have a question, I don't know if you can answer it." ”

"What's the problem?" When Yang Li'er heard about "Qin", she was still attracted.

"I heard that He Wenzi of the previous dynasty was a master of the piano, and his level of playing the piano is unparalleled."

"What are you asking?" Yang Li'er frowned slightly, what Han Jian said was a fact recognized by the music industry.

Han Jian stretched out his right index finger and asked, "Then why doesn't He Wenzi play the piano with this finger?" ”

Han Jian had a faint smile on his face, and after asking the question, Yang Li'er thought directly, and said lightly: "He Wenzi has excellent piano skills and never plays the piano with his right index finger?" There have been no rumors of this, where did you hear about it? ”

"Miss Yang, it seems that I asked you."

Yang Li'er thought about it again, shook her head and said, "I don't know." Why? ”

Han Jian smiled with a triumphant deceit on his face: "Because this finger is mine, He Wenzi was born two hundred years earlier, how could he use my finger to play the piano?" ”

Although Yang Li'er thought of various answers, she didn't expect the answers to be so "shameless", but she still "poof! As soon as she burst out laughing, she covered her mouth with her hands, and quickly regained her composure.

"It's good to smile, if you have a straight face all day long, the beauty will be ugly." Han Jian got up again, looked at the window, and then came back to get dressed, "The rain has stopped, you have to hurry." ”

Yang Li'er suddenly felt very powerless in front of this man, as if she had been tricked, but surprisingly she did not have anger in her heart, but instead felt a little regret when they got together.

When the two of them led the horses out of the land temple, the rain outside had not completely stopped, but it was not in the way. The two were about to go on the road, but they saw a mountain road not far below the mountain bag, but they didn't realize it when they came. At this time, there were two horse-drawn carriages moving on the mountain road.

"The rut marks are deep, and there is something heavy on the wagon." Han Jian glanced at it.

"What is it?"

"It won't be a stone, it won't be a person, it's probably gold, silver, jewelry." As Han Jian was talking, a carriage behind him stopped, and the window of the carriage in front poked its head out, as if to check the situation of the carriage behind.

It's clearly a woman.
