But they said that Su was kind and they heard from the restaurant that the road they often walked in front of them was impassable, so they could only take a detour.

It is better to go around from the east side, but the east side is not very peaceful.

After the runner left, Mo Tong asked Sima Lantai in embarrassment: "Childe, which way should we go?" ”

"Let's go east!" Sima Lantai thought for a moment and said, "If you take another detour, I'm afraid that it will delay the selection of candidates for admission to Xianyuan Mountain." ”

"But there is some danger in the east," Mo Tong scratched his head and said, "We don't have enough people, so we should have brought more guards out of the capital if we knew it." ”

Sima Lantai has a guard of more than 100 people, but he doesn't like pomp and circumstance, and he usually doesn't call these people unless necessary in the capital.

This time, I only brought two guards to Xianyuan Mountain, and if I was in a hurry, it would naturally be enough. But if you pass through a place infested by bandits, I'm afraid it's not enough.

But now there is still more than half a distance from Xianyuan Mountain, if there is no accident, it should be able to arrive as scheduled.

But if you take a detour, the time will be very tight, not to mention that even if this road is bypassed, the front may not be smooth.

He brought Su out with kindness this time, and he was sure to let her apprenticeship succeed.

But if you can't get there in time, you will have to wait for next year.

So even though it was dangerous, Sima Lantai decided to go east.

"Childe, if we hire more people to accompany us here, at least we can strengthen our momentum." Mo Tong rolled his eyes and said: "Those bandits and bandits also watch people put down dishes, if they see that there are many of us, they will naturally not come out to rob." ”

"Hachiro, what do you think?" Sima Lantai didn't rush to answer, but asked Su Haoyi's opinion.

Su Haoyi was eating a plate of fennel beans seriously, and when she saw Sima Lantai asking her, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks, looked around, and said, "Don't be busy making decisions first, after eating in a while, let's take a look around the street." ”

After they finished eating, Su Haoyi went to the street with Sima Lantai and asked Mo Tong to wait in the inn.

After walking on the street for a long time, Su Haoyi asked Sima Lantai with a smile: "What do you think of the folk customs of Ziyang?" ”

"Rough and strong," Sima Lantai said, "what do you think?" ”

"I have the same opinion as Childe," Su smiled kindly: "At least thirty percent of the people in this place must be Diao people, we have to hire people here, if we don't meet the bandits, let them be looted first." In fact, there is a safer way, and the prince can ask the government here to ask them for help.

Although those officials are also scoundrels in nature, they are not guilty of doing evil when they are dressed in official clothes, not to mention that you have a noble status, they can't afford to offend. ”

"This governor of Ziyang is a man of King Yong," Sima Lantai said, "I don't want to have anything to do with him." ”

As soon as he said this, Su Haoyi understood. Sima Lantai has always been clean and self-conscious, and he is unwilling to go along with the people in the officialdom.

Let the government here send someone to protect him, which is somewhat of a fake public and private meaning, and Sima Lantai doesn't like it.

"Childe, don't blame, I lost my words just now." Su Haoyi sincerely felt sorry: "Let's think of another way!" ”

"Let's walk forward," Sima Lantai said, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't think too much, rest here for one night, and then go on the road tomorrow morning." ”

The two of them walked back slowly, rested in the inn, and ate dinner in the inn.

Because you want two upper rooms, there is a bathing place in each room. The shop had already filled the bath bucket with water, and Su Haoyi closed the doors and windows tightly and took a hot shower.

After all, it's a rush, and it's impossible to take a shower every day like you do at home.

Su Haoyi soaked in the bathtub for a long time, until his hands and feet were wrinkled, and then he slowly crawled out.

As soon as I got dressed, I heard a knock at the door.

Su Haoyi was startled and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's me," it was Sima Lantai's voice: "I have pen and paper here, do you want to write a letter home?" ”

"It turned out to be Childe," Su said kindly, and he had stepped forward to open the door: "Childe is really thoughtful." ”

Sima Lantai stood outside the door, looking at his hair, he knew that he had already taken a bath, holding an ebony tray with paper and pen in one hand.

"Childe, please come in and sit!" Su Haoyi politely and humbly took the tray.

Who thought that Sima Lantai did not refuse, and came in with a step.

Su is used to getting along with him, not to mention that it is just dark at this time, and it is not yet time to go to bed.

Su kindly let Sima Lantai sit down, poured him another cup of tea, and then sat down at the table and began to write a letter to his family.

Sima Lantai saw her sitting there, her body twisted, her head tilted, the paper on the table was also placed diagonally, and the tip of her tongue was against her upper lip, giving people a particularly difficult feeling.

"Who taught you to write when you were a child?" Sima Lantai asked her.

"I don't know who teaches it, but we have a lot of guests there. Some like to write, some like to draw, and I watched a little bit from the sidelines. Su said as he wrote.

"Aren't you tired of writing like this?" Sima Lantai was tired for her.

"I don't usually write much," Su Haoyi himself didn't think: "My uncle and grandfather deliberately told my mother not to read and write." My mother didn't teach me to read, but she didn't stop me from learning from elsewhere. If I hadn't been away now, I wouldn't have written so much. ”

"If you study medicine, you naturally have to write a lot of words, not to look good, but to be neat and fluent." Sima Lantai walked over and patiently taught Su Haoyi to hold the pen and write: "The posture should be correct, the wrist should be suspended, the horizontal pen should be light, and the vertical stop pen should be slow." ”

He held Su Haoyi's hand, wrapped her small hand with his big hand, and his voice was low, ringing in Su Haoyi's ears.

Su Haoyi wrote down stroke by stroke with his movements, and a particularly beautiful word "Ping" fell on the white paper.

"Childe, your handwriting is so beautiful!" Su Haoyi couldn't help but admire: "It's the same as your people." ”

Sima Lantai does write a good hand, dignified and beautiful, strong and graceful, just like his people.

"If you put your heart into it, over time, you will be able to write a good hand." Sima Lantai only felt that the little hand he was holding was soft and boneless, delicate and smooth: "In the future, just follow me to learn calligraphy for an hour every day." ”

"Huh? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Childe? Su Haoyi felt that he was too unhappy: "Why don't you find me a copybook, and I'll write it accordingly." ”

"You always have to get started before you can post it," Sima Lantai didn't let go of Su Haoyi's hand when he spoke: "When you master some doorways, it's not too late to post again." ”

"Hachiro listens to Childe," Su nodded kindly: "It's such a size, no one has taught me to write seriously!" ”
