The wing room arranged for Shen Yafei along the Anmiao is an independent courtyard behind the Yan'an Temple, close to the slope of the mountain, and there are four wings in the courtyard. Just like a small courtyard of a farmhouse, there is a kitchen, a firewood house, and a well, and the front yard is surrounded by bamboo branches, and the front yard can also be used to grow flowers, vegetables and chickens, which can be regarded as self-sufficient.

Every year, the food and drink along the Anmiao will be sent by the owner of Meng Zhuang, so the rice and grain do not need to be planted by themselves, but the vegetables are still planted along the Anmiao. Therefore, the nuns along the temple are not particularly busy, and they don't have much work every day except for chanting sutras and eating.

Shen Yafei would follow Jing Ning to the lobby of Yan'an Temple for morning rest in the first few days, but after a long time, she was unwilling. This worship of the Buddha is either a belief in the Buddha or a cultivation of character.

Shen Yafei has never believed in Buddhism, even if she starts all over again, she still believes that the only thing she can rely on in this world is herself. All thoughts that are put into the gods are delusional. As for cultivating the mind, Shen Yafei has lived a lifetime, and looking at the good and evil of human nature, she is naturally more stable than others.

Shen Yafei's stability these days, Aunt Sheng also sees it, so when Shen Yafei proposed not to come over for the morning rest, Aunt Sheng agreed. Shen Yafei also pushed the festival reception of Lord Meng Zhuang. Mama Li was dissatisfied with this, but Shen Yafei was resolutely unwilling to change her words, and they had no choice.

However, Sheng Gu would write a good letter about Shen Yafei's recent situation every month and ask Master Meng Zhuang to send someone to Beijing. Because the situation written in the letters of the previous months is stable as usual.

Sunrise and sunset, spring and autumn reincarnation.

When Steward Ma saw the letter from Huancheng, General Shen and Mrs. Shen became less and less inclined to open it, and when he saw that the situation was like this, he replied to the letter on his own initiative, so that if there were no special circumstances, Aunt Sheng would not need to send the letter to Beijing again.

After Aunt Sheng received the reply, she pondered the meaning of appreciation, thinking that the young lady of the Shen family who lived behind this temple was about to be abandoned, and she no longer paid too much attention to this second young lady. There is no need to send a letter to Kyori for nothing special, this special thing is that as long as it is not about life and death.

Every few months, Sheng Gu would have three people's rations delivered to the courtyard in the back mountain. Cooked food has not been delivered again, as for vegetables, firewood, etc., no one has been sent. Shen Yafei and the others had to cook their own food, although Mama Li and Qiu Dong complained, but they did not let Aunt Sheng and them change their minds.

Shen Yafei sat in the main hall and looked at the three of them who were anxious, and couldn't help laughing. It's okay to not be followed, it's not noticed, even if the three people in front of you disappear, there won't be too many people paying attention. However, now that he is weak and unable to deal with them, he will need to wait a little longer, and in a few more days, he will make them disappear one by one. It's best not to go back to the capital, but you can't waste it here, it's better to learn something. There is no one to teach you martial arts, and it will be more difficult to specialize in it yourself.

Shen Yafei meditated hard every day, and she didn't think of any skills that were easier to learn.

Since there's nothing to learn, go out and find it. Thinking that the Shen Mansion in the capital has given up on himself, then no one will pay attention to what he is doing in the capital.

Shen Yafei changed into a set of homespun clothes, hid her purse in her sleeve pocket, took a bamboo basket and a small hoe, and walked out.

These days, Shen Yafei will dress like this when she has nothing to do, and sometimes she will bring a few grasses back to let Qiu'er fry into vegetables; Sometimes, a few flowers are placed in the bedroom. Originally, Shen Yafei went and returned on the same day, but later it became a return every few days. Mama Li and Qiu Dong were accustomed to her going out, and they all watched Shen Yafei go out coldly and didn't make a sound. In the hearts of these three people, Shen Yafei is already an abandoned son abandoned by the Shen family, but fortunately, in this courtyard, Shen Yafei rarely calls them. They became lazy day by day, only providing food and drink to Shen Yafei, and did not serve in front of them every day, and Shen Yafei did not treat them well. So Shen Yafei still knows each other a lot, because they don't want to serve a girl from a family who has lost power.

If you don't know that Mama Hu in Beijing said that Shen Yafei still has some effect, Mama Li and they don't even want to get a meal for Shen Yafei. But it's not a difficult thing to add a pair of chopsticks, so it's so rough. The second lady of the general of the capital is a mountain woman who doesn't know anything, and when she returns to Beijing, she will definitely be able to make a sensation in the capital, and Mama Hu and her master must be very satisfied.

In spring, everything comes back to life on Ansan, and all kinds of unknown wildflowers bloom on the mountain roads. Shen Yafei deliberately crossed through the flowers, and the dew wet her trouser legs, which was cool but very pleasant. This kind of day without worries and without worrying about the surrounding calculations, Shen Yafei enjoys it very much. But Shen Yafei also knew that she would not be here forever, she was going to be taken back to the capital, so she had to have a skill.

Shen Yafei sneaked into the team of pilgrims, walked along the way down the mountain, walked for more than an hour, and finally came down the mountain.

All the way to Huancheng.

Although Huancheng is far away from the capital, Huancheng is surrounded by mountains, and the only exit is only an official road. Fortunately, where barren mountains overlap, water resources are abundant and people here are able to provide for themselves.

Huancheng only has a big market in the city, so it is very lively before the market day.

The roads are crowded with small stalls, many of which are knick-knacks made by people on the outskirts of Huancheng in their leisure time and some mountain food. Many of them are similar, not very unusual, so the price is not high.

Shen Yafei looked around all this curiously, the first time in two worlds to go shopping so calmly. It turns out that the bazaar is so interesting!

Shen Yafei first went to the shop where she bought weapons and bought a small dagger. The dagger I bought for fifty taels is not very good in texture, it is very light, but it can cut some ordinary rattan branches. Shen Yafei wants to find a good dagger in the future.

The three big characters of "Library Pavilion" are simple and dignified, and Shen Yafei smells the breath of a scholar.

The book pavilion is also the same as the plaque outside the door, although it is simple, but there is a solemn atmosphere, I think this shopkeeper must be a person who loves to read.

"Girl, what kind of books are you looking for?" A guy dressed up walked over and asked. The scholar looked at the young lady in front of him suspiciously. Seeing that this little girl was only five or six years old, her face was tanned, judging from her skin color and clothing, she was not a literate person, nor was she a person who could afford to buy books, but those big smart eyes were very attractive, and the little girl looked at the pair of black eyes, and smiled just right.

Shen Yafei looked around, flipped through a few books and shook her head and put them down, not noticing the problem of the little guy.

Shen Yafei looked through the books and looked at the fonts on them familiarly, and the little girl knew that this girl was literate, so the little girl followed Shen Yafei more respectfully.

"Little brother, can you show me that book" Shen Yafei was suddenly attracted by a book called "History of the Heavenly Dynasty".

"There is only one book, and it was collected by our shopkeeper from the capital, and there are not many copies in the capital." Xiao Wu told Shen Yafei the source of the book in a timely manner, and also conveyed the meaning that the price of the book was not cheap, and handed the book to Shen Yafei.

Shen Yafei flipped through a few pages, it was a rare good book, and it was also a good book to understand the Great Heavenly Empire. But if you think it's expensive, forget it.

"Are there any books on medicine?" When Shen Yafei put down the "History of the Heavenly Dynasty", she looked up and saw the "Li Family Medical Hall" opposite, and she had a flash of inspiration.

"The girl laughed, how can we have medical books for sale in the Great Heavenly Empire, medical skills are just other people's housekeeping, and many of them are not passed on." The little guy looked incredulous.

"Oh······" Shen Yafei put the book down in disappointment.

"How much does this book cost?" Pick up the book from before and ask.

"This book costs two hundred taels." The little girl scratched his head and replied very embarrassedly, how could he feel a deep sense of guilt when he saw the disappointed look of this little girl, but the price of this book was not set by him.

It was so expensive, Shen Yafei was so shocked that she dropped the book.

In the end, Shen Yafei chose some paper and pen and ink. The little girl smiled and packaged Shen Yafei, he was originally an inconspicuous little girl who couldn't afford to buy books, but he didn't expect to buy so much paper, and he was also a big customer today, it was really what the master said, people can't be good-looking, the little girl happily counted today's income.

Shen Yafei put the paper into the bamboo basket and bought a few more baked cakes.

When passing by the "Li Family Medical Hall", after stopping outside for a long time, he turned around and left.

The spring sun was shining, and Shen Yafei was also in a happy mood, bouncing along the way.

"Ah~" Shen Yafei was grabbed by an ankle with a hand on the way up the mountain, and she was so frightened that she lost all the baskets. Shen Yafei shook her feet vigorously, but she was grabbed tighter and tighter.

Shen Yafei grabbed the clothes on her chest with her right hand, and her body trembled slightly. Shen Yafei raised her courage and lowered her head and slowly opened her eyes.

I saw that the hand holding her ankle was delicate and shiny, and looking to the right, a young woman in gray satin fabric was looking at her pitifully, and then pointed to the basket that Shen Yafei had dropped on the side.

Shen Yafei brought the basket to the woman, and the woman snatched it without saying a word, took the water bag and drank it in a big gulp, and then picked up the baked cakes in the basket and devoured them.

There was no superfluous connection in this coherent action, and Shen Yafei came back to her senses when the woman took the second baked cake, and immediately put the only remaining baked cake in the basket into her mouth, and also ate it in a big gulp, staring at the woman on the ground with her big eyes.

Seeing this, the woman almost squirted out the crumbs of bread in her mouth, and she poured two mouthfuls of water in a row before she recovered. smiled and asked in a dumb voice: "Little girl, what are you doing?" After saying that, he lay on the ground and laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.

"Humph!" Shen Yafei snorted angrily, unwilling to deal with her. Seeing the woman having eaten a few bites of the baked cake in her hand, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her flesh, this was her snack for several days, and she had walked for so many hours just to buy food. There was no snack to eat in the mountains, and Mama Li and Qiu Dong didn't make it for her, so she had to go out to buy it and hide it quietly to eat. But he didn't expect to come out halfway out to bite the gold and intercept it, the more Shen Yafei thought about it, the more unhappy she became.

"You won't be so stingy, just eat your two baked cakes, it's a big deal that the old lady will pay you double. How much, you say? The woman saw Shen Yafei staring at the cake in her hand, and she untied the purse around her waist.

"Who cares about your stinky money, this is my snack for several days, and you have eaten it up like this, do you think you can lose it for a few dollars?" Shen Yafei became even more angry after hearing this.

"I'll give you this~" The woman took out two gold leaves from her purse and handed them to Shen Yafei hesitantly.

"Well, it's clear." Shen Yafei snatched it with one hand, put it in her sleeve pocket, picked up the basket, and walked up past the woman.
