After Yu An said goodbye, I sat in his house for a long time, and it was not until it was getting late that I packed up the things I had left in the Xun hexagram and returned to the medicine garden on the mountain.

When I went up the mountain, I learned that the toxicity of the water jade grass made Yan Wu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, fall into a coma.

In the wooden house, Orion held Yan Wu's hand tightly, and stood by the bed, although he couldn't speak, a thousand words were written on that anxious and haggard face. If they had known that there would be an end today, would they have preferred not to meet them in the first place? If she hadn't met, she would still be the master of Tianshu's light song and dance, and he would still be the dashing hunter wandering the mountains and forests. One day, maybe they will meet on the road, the woman sitting in the canopy carriage and the man passing by with the prey, they will look at each other, no affection, no ambiguity, just a glance that passes away with the wind, and then drift away and never cross paths again......

Wouldn't that be better?

I stood outside the window and sighed deeply, and Innocent suddenly appeared in front of me, covered my face and said, "What's wrong with you today, why do you seem to be very unhappy?" ”

"I'm fine. I just feel that the two of them finally met and must have a lot to say. It's a pity that I can't say a word. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to be quiet!" Innocent took a bite of the fruit and looked inside, "If you are dumb, you can still plant land here, otherwise one will be sent out to sleep with the man, and the other will go out to hunt in the winter, and the other will accidentally fall off the mountain and die." I think it's good to be like this now, but I don't know what you're upsetting about? ”

Wuxian took out a fruit from his arms, wiped it with his hand and handed it to me, and said with a smile: "Leave them alone, go on!" This one for you, the sweetest. ”

yes, what am I upset about, it's good enough.

After Yan Wu recovered, I went up the mountain with Wuxian and the snow monkey every day to "collect medicine", and she stayed with Orion in the medicine garden to sprinkle water and loosen the soil for the flowers and plants, and grind the medicine for the doctor.

Time slides like water from your fingers. In the blink of an eye, in the warm spring of March, the mountain stream is full of yellow bitter flowers, overwhelming, as if it has grown to the sky and the blue sky to meet in one place. I sat by the stream and stared at a wild peach tree in the new greenery on the other bank, and the empty branches of the peach tree were now bursting with pink buds. The season of birds and insects has finally arrived, and I have been in Tianshu for four months.

Two days ago, Madame Wuyin sent someone to send back the head I had left at Mingyi, telling me that I would be able to go to Qin with a group of female musicians from Tianshu in early April.

Crossing from Fengling to Qinguo through Weishui is a boat against the current, when you come, you can get there in ten days, and I am afraid that it will take more than 20 days to go back, and the place where the water is turbulent may have to be changed to land, so that before and after, the female musicians will arrive in Yongcheng in May at the earliest. And at this time, the grandest banquet in Yongcheng is none other than Gongzili's wedding banquet.

Mrs. Wuyin stayed with me for four months, and she had already made plans to let me return to Qin with the female musician.

"How did you get here?" Innocent sat next to me.

"I'm wondering why Lady Wuyin kept me in the first place, and why did she let me go now?"

"Why do you think so much, if they want to do some tricks on you on the way, I'll take you away." Innocence picked up a stone from the shore and threw it into the stream.

"No, you have to go down the mountain and pick up Si'er. She must have died in a hurry after being alone at the bottom of the mountain for so long. If the people of Tianshu were to be unfavorable to me, they would have done it a long time ago. After I leave, you will find an opportunity to pour a pot of thousand days drunk for Yichen, and then take the snow monkeys, pick up the four children, and go to Fenglingdu to hire a boat to return to Yongcheng. ”

"After arriving in Yongcheng, where are we going to find you?"

"After you arrive, Si'er will definitely go back to the General's Mansion, you asked her to draw two circles on the back door of the General's Mansion, let me know that you have arrived safely. Then, let Si'er think of a way to see if I can let you live in the post station in the West Market. As soon as Gongzili's wedding banquet is over, I will come to the post station to find you, and if I don't come to you after the wedding banquet, you will quietly go to Gongzili's mansion to find me. Do you understand? ”

"Well, then you don't want to be taken away this time." Innocent said reluctantly.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

"When are you leaving?" Innocent plucked a ribbon with small pale pink flowers from the grass beside him, and cut off the flower bones on the inflorescence with his fingertips one by one, and inserted them into my hair one by one in an orderly manner. I followed him, only sighed softly, and said, "Come on!" The people of Yongcheng thought I was dead, so this time, I wanted to pretend to be Mingyi's witch boy to enter Qin. Tomorrow, I will go to live in the courtyard where I have left the hexagram. ”

"Ah Shi", Wuxian stopped the movement in his hand and leaned his face in front of me, "After you meet the head of the family this time, if you don't want to stay in the Qin State, let's find an old man at the foot of the mountain to open a pharmacy and see a doctor for others!" ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, when the time comes, you go up the mountain to collect medicine, and I will treat people, and I will build another house with the money." There is no strife, no killing, and this life is lived in peace. ”

Wuxian was stunned for a moment, lost half of the silk grass in his hand, and asked as if he didn't understand: "You say this, but you want to marry me?" ”

"Who wants to marry you? You know what it means to get married! His cold words almost choked me half to death.

Wuxian patted me on the back and said innocently: "What are you anxious about, if you don't get married, you won't get married, just be together." ”

Wuxian and I sat by the stream for one day, and the next day we said goodbye to Yan Wu and Orion, and went down the mountain with our burdens.

Xu is the training of these two months is really effective, from the medicine garden to Mingyi's courtyard walked in less than half an hour. But outside the courtyard of the hexagram, I wandered for more than an hour. To enter, or not to enter, it is really a difficult choice.

"I didn't expect you to dare go in!" Kuroko kicked his shoes and walked from a distance with a grin, and when he saw my hesitant look, his mouth grinned even wider.

"Why are you here?"

"Call brother, and I'll take you in to make sure Mingyi won't pull out your hair." Kuroko raised her chin at me, and the left eyebrow was slightly raised, very proud.

I glanced at him, lowered my head and called out sullenly, "Brother Kuroko." ”

"Hahaha-" Kuroko crossed his hands on his hips and puffed up his chest, as if he had suddenly grown two feet taller, "Okay, okay, let's go in with my brother!" ”
