"That's it?" Su Jinyao twisted her eyebrows and said, "So you disliked her after hearing it and made her angry?" I still can't let go of her, so I came to me? ”

Su Jinyao had already sworn in her heart that if Mu Qingyu dared to nod, even if he changed his mind now, he would have to give him some color.

You know, these past autumn shadows have told him, it is undoubtedly self-revealing scars. But Mu Qingyu actually dared to dislike it, and if he didn't slap him a dozen times, Su Jinyao was not angry.

But unexpectedly, Mu Qingyu shook his head desperately and said, "No, no." Heroes don't ask where they come from, even if it's a woman like Shui Rourou, I really love it, not to mention the autumn shadow who was forced to fall into the Qinglou helplessly. What's more, she is the daughter of Orion, and she can be regarded as innocent, and she sold herself for the livelihood of her family, this is also a strange woman who dares to be, I can't admire it yet, where will there be disgust? ”

After a pause, Mu Qingyu said seriously: "Although our Mu family is a saint of organs on the rivers and lakes, the ancestor of the original founding sect is just a locksmith, and he is still ...... also went through the door and did some shady things. It was only later that because he was proficient in the technique of the mechanism, the mechanism became bigger and bigger, and today's Holy Hand Mu family was born. Therefore, if it is talked about at the beginning, the Mu family may not be really glorious. ”

Su Jinyao's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't believe it. Because of listening to Mu Qingyu's meaning, the ancestor of the Mu family was born in the study of locks, and he also did stealing.

Locks are things that are used every day, seemingly simple and ordinary, but they are also a kind of mechanism.

Ancient locks are actually all-encompassing and complex in structure. Those famous ones such as the Heaven and Earth Lock, the Bagua Lock, and the Wuji Qiankun Lock all have their own subtleties. Moreover, it is a series of complex mechanisms that cannot be solved by ordinary people, and some have even achieved many mysteries through the ages.

So now Mu Qingyu's words are true, but the disgraceful deeds of the ancestors have also been exposed, probably really anxious.

However, Su Jinyao also understood that Mu Qingyu really didn't care about Qiu Ying's background. But that's no problem at all, and Autumn Shadow still runs away.

Seeing Su Jinyao frowning, Mu Qingyu smiled bitterly and said, "I originally thought that the relationship between the two of us had tended to improve, but I didn't expect her to suddenly disappear the next morning. I searched for a long time but there was no news, and then I thought of you, Miss Liu. I also want you to help me ask why Autumn Shadow left me suddenly. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Indeed, I'm also a little curious...... Wait, you mean the next morning? Could it be that you two ......?"

Su Jinyao didn't say the latter words, but it was a thief who laughed. She vaguely guessed that Qiu Ying borrowed the seed and ran away?

If that's the case, Autumn Shadow is clever enough. deceived this kid for a moment, and ran away when his goal was achieved.

But isn't that unkind? What's more, Su Jinyao has a really good impression of Mu Qingyu now, if she can really treat Qiu Ying well for the rest of her life, she should make a match.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao said, "Okay, I'll help you this time." Originally, I was going to go to see the Autumn Shadow, but there was something happening at the moment, and I didn't leave until two days late. Are you following me for the time being, or are you waiting for my news somewhere? ”

As soon as Mu Qingyu heard Su Jinyao's words, he immediately nodded and said, "I'll follow Miss Liu." I won't stop until I see Autumn Shadow. Even if she refuses to be with me for the rest of her life, as long as the reason is figured out, I am willing to guard her for the rest of my life. ”

What's the situation with the two of you?

After listening to Mu Qingyu's assurance, Su Jinyao looked at him fixedly for a while. Seeing firmness and decisiveness in his eyes, Su Jinyao nodded.

Su Jinyao said very seriously: "Although Qiu Ying is my subordinate, in my heart, she is a confidant who has come all the way and an ally who helps each other. So I wrote down what you said today for Autumn Shadow, unless the two of you have no heart for each other, or Autumn Shadow is completely dead to you, otherwise, I will not allow you to betray in the slightest, and it will not be good for her. ”

"No, I'll treat her well. The harder it is for people to forget the past, the more they will know how to cherish the present. Autumn Shadow is so preoccupied, I'm willing to wait until she's really with me, but only if she's willing to keep me waiting, instead of walking away without giving me any hope. Mu Qingyu lowered his head after speaking.

Su Jinyao could already feel how helpless and lonely Mu Qingyu was at this time.

This man is a natural lover, and Su Jinyao believes in his sincerity towards Qiu Ying. It seems that Autumn Shadow needs to add fuel to the fire.

Su Jinyao said, "Okay, I'll go to Qiu Ying after I'm done here, and you can follow me for the time being." With your help, I might be able to get things done sooner. ”

"Okay." Mu Qingyu raised his head again and said to Su Jinyao sincerely: "Thank you." ”

Su Jinyao waved her hand, ready to call A-Ning out, and they went home together.

But as soon as she raised her hand, Su Jinyao put it down again, lowered her voice and asked Mu Qing: "Hey, you haven't answered me just now, what is the situation of the two of you the next morning?" ”

"Yes...... It's just ......" Mu Qingyu's face blushed, and he stammered when he spoke.

Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You can really do it, the cooked duck can fly, and if it is overwhelmed, you can let her run away." ”

"No, no......" Mu Qingyu tried to distinguish again, but swallowed back halfway through speaking, and lowered his head again.

But this time, Su Jinyao clearly saw that Mu Qingyu's face was red, and his eyes were shining quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Jinyao smiled secretly, waved her hand, and called A Ning and said, "Go and see the wooden house, just don't burn the bamboo forest." ”

A-Ning agreed, and leaned over to check it. Then he came back and said, "Master Qiqi, it has been burned out." Only a few embers will be left, but there will be no more fires. ”

The hut was already small, and there was an open space around it, so it wouldn't spread again after the fire burned down the hut.

It is estimated that it will not be long before a lot of new bamboo will slowly grow here.

Su Jinyao took A Ning and Mu Qingyu behind her, and together they went out of the bamboo forest and returned to the Su family in Pingshan Village.

However, Su Jinyao did not ask Mu Qingyu to go in, but called Dongzi out and said, "You send Qingyu Gongzi to the inn on the other side of the mountain." Looking for the proprietress Chunniu, she said that it was a friend I asked her to help with the placement. They'll come back together tomorrow morning. ”

Dongzi agreed, went back and picked a lantern out, and prepared to take Mu Qingyu to cross the mountain at night.

When the two went out, Su Jinyao said to Dongzi again: "It's too late, you can stay over there." Just have A-Ning with me. ”

Dongzi agreed repeatedly, and took Mu Qingyu away.

In fact, Su Jinyao did this for a reason, after all, she is now the identity of the crown princess, even if no one in Pingshan Village knows her identity

, but avoiding suspicion is not pedantic, but respect for the husband.

In other words, it is not only people who have ghosts in their hearts who deliberately avoid it, and being informal does not necessarily mean that they are open in their hearts.

As long as it is for the sake of the people who care about you, you should avoid suspicion at any time, which is definitely a kind of respect and true love for your partner.

Just like Gu Xuebin, Su Jinyao lived in the Prince's Mansion and realized that Gu Xuebin had really never placed a young maid by his side, and the mansion would not take in any beauties.

It stands to reason that as the crown prince, many daughters of official eunuch families are eager to squeeze forward, and would rather be a concubine for him. But Gu Xuebin was stunned because he had never thought about it for many years, and he was quiet and did not give any other woman an illusion.

With Gu Xuebin's seriousness, he deserves Su Jinyao's respect.

Only Su Jinyao and A Ning were left in the Su family, and the two of them simply cleaned up and slept separately.

Su Jinyao hadn't been lying in her room so quietly for a long time, she was facing the window in the backyard sideways, and the scene when Gu Xuebin sent her back from here kept popping up in her mind.

The heart was sweet, and at the same time, Su Jinyao also found that a strong longing rose in her heart.

I didn't feel anything for the first day or two of separation. But the closer she got to her and Gu Xuebin's memories of the past, but he was not around, the more Su Jinyao began to miss him.

Unconsciously, Su Jinyao fell asleep in memories and thoughts.

This night was safe, and when she got up early the next morning, Su Jinyao went to the backyard for a walk.

It turned out that the vegetable plot where Sophie planted vegetables had long been abandoned, but now it was cleaned up but it was still bare.

The original thatched houses on the other side of the old site are still there, but they look crumbling, and it is estimated that they will collapse after a long time.

was watching, and I heard the voice of Chun Niu outside the gate of the front yard. Su Jinyao turned to the front yard and saw that A-Ning had already opened the door and let Chunniu, Siping, Mu Qingyu and Dongzi in.

Chunniu and Dongzi each carried a food box in their hands, and it seemed that they were really preparing breakfast for them.

Su Jinyao asked, "Chunniu, you came early enough." Have you eaten yet? Let's have a bite to eat. ”

Chunniu said, "We've all eaten, and this is for the two of you." ”

A-Ning took the food box without saying a word and put it on the table the same. There are porridge and soup, as well as refreshing side dishes, steamed buns, and shortbread.

Su Jinyao said: "There are too many preparations, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it." ”

Chun Niu said: "I'm afraid that I can't finish eating, so I drink more porridge and soup, buns and shortbread can be carried, and I will go to the mountain for a while, and I can sit down and eat when I am tired." We're not coming back at noon, okay? ”

Su Jinyao knew that Chun Niu was anxious to find the snake, so she tried to save time and prepared lunch.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Okay." A-Ning and I are going to eat quickly, let's hurry up. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao asked A-Ning to eat too. However, A-Ning still didn't know how to serve it, just served porridge in a bowl, and set aside a side dish with an empty plate, and sat aside to eat.

While Su Jinyao was eating, she said to Chunniu: "I see that the old house is about to be untenable, so I think I can simply demolish it." ”

Chun Niu said: "No, I was going to tell you about this, but I forgot about it yesterday." ”

Try one's luck

Su Jinyao said: "I originally planned to put some firewood in the old house and use it as a warehouse. But now that the whole house is unoccupied, why do you still have an old house? You just find someone to tear it down. ”

Chun Niu asked Su Jinyao to eat first, and she went to find a few people to come over now. Taking advantage of their efforts to go up the mountain during the day, they asked these people to tear down the old house and clean up the yard.

Su Jinyao said "hard work" and let Chunniu do it.

Siping originally wanted to follow, but Chunniu was afraid that he would work hard, so he stayed.

In fact, Siping's current thin appearance and sickly face, Chunniu didn't want him to go to the village to show people.

Some people like to chew the root of their tongue when they have nothing to do, although Chun Niu doesn't care too much, but she still feels uncomfortable.

After a while, Chunniu came with a few people, all of whom were acquaintances in the village, and they were usually more honest. After coming, I said hello to Su Jinyao, and then went to work.

Chunniu also said: "I have already said hello to the father of the three dogs, saying that when the house is demolished, he will use a carriage to clear all the grass in the yard." The foundation of the yard is leveled again, and it will be neat to come back in the evening. ”

Su Jinyao felt that Chunniu was really reliable, and she didn't have to worry about anything.

After eating, there was no need to lock the door when someone was working in the yard, so Su Jinyao and Chunniu went up the mountain.

Mu Qingyu also followed, and he didn't know what these people were going to do, anyway, he felt that giving Su Jinyao a good help would allow her to say more good things to herself, so he seemed very enthusiastic.

Chunniu said, "I asked again yesterday, and it was said that the snake was in the mine. But deeper in the mountains, let's go straight to the mine. ”

Su Jinyao asked, "Is the mine still mining?" Is there any impact on the village? ”

Chun Niu laughed when she heard this, and said, "What does it matter, but many men in the village want to work in the mines, because the salary is too much." ”

Su Jinyao didn't plan to go to the mine to take a look, she didn't understand anything about opening a mine at all, and she looked at it in vain. Anyway, the smelter is in the capital, as long as the silver comes out in vain, she doesn't care what the ore looks like.

A little further up the hill reveals a newly opened path. Because the mountain is steep, there are no carts and horses, only pickers who keep picking down the ore and loading it on horse-drawn carts to transport away.

But these people, whether they were driving a car or picking ore, were silent and looked very serious.

Su Jinyao asked Chunniu: "Do you have to be so nervous about this mine?" ”

Chunniu glanced at it and replied: "It's not that I'm nervous, it's that all that comes out here is silver ore, and the supervisor is very strict, and he is not allowed to hide privately and is not allowed to make a noise, and he has to be silent when he works." ”

After walking a short distance, Siping took the lead and turned onto another path and went deep into the mountains.

Chunniu explained, "That road can only go to the small fork. Further up is the official territory, and no one is allowed to approach it except for official miners. Even the family members of the miners are not allowed to come forward casually, they eat and live inside, and they only have a day off every once in a while, and they have to be searched when they come out. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and didn't say anything. In fact, she felt that there was no need to be so nervous, even if she took a bag of ore, she might not be able to refine a few coins of silver.

But this must be the rules of official mining, and Gu Shangqing originally wanted to find Gu Xuebin to take over, which should also be because of the strict control of silver mines.

The road they walked on was vaguely visible at first that it was a path that people had trodden, and after walking for a while, they entered the woods, and the road under their feet was vague, and the deeper they went, the more indistinguishable they became.

Siping looked up at the front, and with two "ahhhh

Chunniu saw it and explained: "Siping said that he had to go inside a little further before he got to the place where he was bitten by a snake." But be careful now, maybe there will be snakes around here, too. ”

Su Jinyao nodded, and said, "Since the distance is not far, then everyone should pay attention now." We were looking for a snake, more than half a year ago, more than two feet long, bright yellow, especially careful not to be bitten by it. Because it appears to be non-toxic, it is actually toxic. ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she casually folded a branch and held it in her hand, and then said, "Don't be anxious if you find it, don't hurt it." Tell me, I want to catch it. ”

Among the group, only Dongzi opened his mouth and agreed. Ah Ning never spoke much, and Mu Qingyu only nodded slightly to show that he understood.

And Chunniu and Siping are very aware of the importance of the snake, and of course they will not be killed easily if they find it.

A few people continued to walk in the direction of Siping and the road, but they did not get together, but scattered a little apart.

Originally, it was not easy to search for a snake in the mountains, and the few of them were just trying their luck.

Although they were looking for it with great care, they didn't have much hope. So no one was particularly anxious, looking left and right, and kept tapping on the grass around them.

I walked slowly and looked for it, and it took more than an hour to get to the place that Siping said.

Siping also deliberately walked back and forth twice, carefully identified the location, and then nodded to confirm that he was bitten by a snake here at that time.

Then Siping also pointed to a protruding tree root on the ground, and gestured that after he was bitten, he sat on it to check the wound.

Su Jinyao raised her head to look at this direction, it was deep in the mountains, and the trees were also very dense, such a semi-shady environment was indeed a place where snakes often moved.

Su Jinyao asked Siping again: "Did the snake climb down from the tree, or did it swim on the ground?" ”

Siping pointed to a tree, indicating that the snake had hung down from it and had climbed all the way to the ground. Because of the speed, it was too late for Siping to hide when he found the snake, so the snake bit his ankle as soon as he scurried on the ground.

Su Jinyao reminded everyone again: "This is a key area, not only pay attention to your feet, but also your head." Now spread out and search, in groups of two, one paying attention to the branches on the head, and one searching the feet. We meet here every other hour. ”
