Chapter 104: Ancient Official Dao

In the brilliant lights, Su Xiao poured himself a drink, looking at the pole and bamboo outside the long window like a blooming peacock's tail feathers, gently swaying in the evening breeze, the sound of a rattle rang out for a while, lively and noisy, but Su Xiao felt more and more deserted in his heart.

Looking at the water in the wine glass, it seems that the delicate face of the cheerful man seems to emerge. When I saw her for the first time, she ingeniously clamped plum blossoms to her ears and let a splendid scarlet plum blossom on her sideburns. She drank heartily and enjoyed the plums, her eyes were blurry but innocent, overpowering the fragrance of plums in the garden. Taking the wine glass she handed to herself, she clinked the glass and couldn't help but drink it all when she was called out that she was her brother.

How long has it been since I have seen innocent eyes? This imperial capital lacks nothing, but lacks this unique innocence. I am used to seeing people with extravagant masks every day, and suddenly seeing her makes people light up and inexplicably frightened at the same time. What is terrifying is that she is in this place of deceit, and she is afraid that in the blink of an eye, she will die without a place to be buried.

When I learned that she was the cruel and violent concubine, I was in a trance, it turned out that a person can exist on the outside completely different from the heart? Or did all the people misunderstand this person who lived innocently and freely?

Today, I saw her again.

In hearsay, she was ruthless and violent, and in a short period of time, she solved two women who blocked her path, that is the princess and the side concubine with noble status!

When I first saw her, she was such a simple and innocent woman, but she had a heroic and dry manly atmosphere, which made me involuntarily confused.

Today is the second time I have seen her. At first, she was so cunning that she was terrifying, and after unveiling the veil to let herself know that it was her, she became lively and cute, this person, how many painted skins did she have? She was like a mystery, and every appearance brought a new feeling, so that I couldn't help but look forward to the next time I saw her.

It's a pity that she is the person of the eighth prince, if it is the person of the second prince, how good it would be! Maybe she will not be so lonely. Su Xiao raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, slowly showed a smile, lifted the wine jug and filled the wine glass again. I don't mind if she's a woman or a man, if you have the opportunity, you must call her a brother and a song!

A simple carriage got off the official road and walked in the mud of the village road. After several days of driving, even the horses pulling the carts were so tired that their feet slipped.

In the carriage, Yin Manchuan's lips were chapped, his hands were clenched into fists, and he tried to restrain himself from touching the kettle.

"There is still one night, and I will be in Su Xiao's small mountain village, I don't eat or drink to make myself look more pitiful," Yin Manchuan muttered to himself, his eyes were firm, "Childe, you taught me not to be impressed for three days, Manchuan is waiting to see your overjoyed smiling face!"

The early dawn sky in the mountains looks clear and distant against the backdrop of light and dark greenery. Looking far away, you can see that there are layers of morning mist in the col, thin and soft, flowing like water among the miscellaneous trees.

The first rays of the morning sun fell, and the morning mist began to retreat extremely quickly, like the waves that went away from the ebb tide, and disappeared in an instant.

The carriage finally stopped, and the white-haired coachman helped Yin Manchuan and let her get out of the carriage, and said with pity: "You child, your body and bones look weak. Next time, don't travel so far by yourself! What about your family? Why didn't they come to pick you up?"

"Uncle, I, I don't have a family anymore, only a long-lost brother......" Yin Manchuan humbly lowered his head, looking pitiful, "I heard that there is a person here, like my brother, I came here to find out." ”

"Alas~ Child, you drink some water, eat some dry food before leaving. The old coachman sighed, took some dry food from the coat on his shoulder, and handed it to the little girl. The rest were all wrapped up and stuffed back into the blanket, and the kettle was put on the little girl's shoulder, "You bring these dry foods, along the way, be careful yourself!"

"Thank you, Uncle!" the little girl's crisp voice resounded in the morning breeze.

The old coachman shook his head, turned and jumped into the carriage, waved his hand, and walked away with the sound of his hooves.

Yin Manchuan looked at the blanket, then at the carriage in the distance, and nodded with satisfaction.

However, even the old coachman who came and went from the south to the north to see the people in the rivers and lakes believed that he was lonely and helpless to find his relatives.

The morning sun has risen brilliantly overhead, full of life and shining dazzling golden light. Yin Manchuan lowered his head and carefully looked at the ancient official road under his feet that he didn't know what age it existed.

The stone slabs on the ground are arched unevenly by weeds, and the gaps in the stone steps are crowded with vines and dead branches, and the edges of the ancient road are no longer visible in disrepair.

The ancient official road, which should have been able to run horses, was eroded by wild grass and weeds, leaving only a sheep intestine path, which stretched out in the distance in a winding way. Spread over the low slopes, stretch over the steep mountains, and probe higher and higher, like a wound that has healed, firmly entangled in the body of the rugged mountain.

Yinmanchuan contemplated, looked along the ancient road, and looked higher and higher the head was raised. In the end, he began to sigh deeply: "It's still a foresight for the child! Come here, and start pretending to be miserable again, it's completely too late!"

"Climb over two mountains along the ancient official road, and then pass through a large area of ancient pines and cypresses, and then climb up the rocky mountain, behind the rocky mountain," Yin Manchuan sat on the ground, wrenched his fingers, and said in his mind: "The small village in the col is Su Xiao's home! My mother! This way, I have to shed my skin even if I am not half dead! I have to flee too hard!"

"Fortunately, I am brave enough to be fat, I have been jumping in the mountains since I was a child, otherwise, which girl's family dares to climb the mountains and mountains alone! Childe, your Manchuan is very powerful!" Yinmanchuan began to climb the mountain along the ancient official road, and climbed until the sun set and the sky was full of red clouds before stopping.

Seeing that he had climbed to the top of the mountain, Yin Manchuan nodded with satisfaction and praised himself: "Yo he! This leg and foot are very good, and he actually climbed up!"

After finding a leeward place and climbing a huge ancient pine, Yinmanchuan tied himself to the trunk with his belt before starting to eat his second meal of the day. Nibbling on dry food with cold water, Man Chuan did not forget to raise the kettle in the direction of the imperial capital, and smiled lightly: "Childe, cheers!
