At the beginning of the twenty-fourth year, after seven years of arduous Southern Expedition, the Muqi Dynasty finally captured the Nanban, incorporated it into its territory, and became a hegemon sitting on the Central Plains, the Southern Barbarians, the East China Sea, and the West.

Mu Qi has excellent troops, sufficient financial resources, and a wide area, Mu Taizu is only in the age of sixties, and the governing director is vigorous and resolute without losing the law. Therefore, the people of the market are harmonious, except for the barren land that is really remote and powerless, it can be said that the whole country is happy.

In February of the year when he subdued Nanban, seventeen-year-old Qiu Shui and nineteen-year-old Chu Lin had grown into tall and prominent teenagers, and the two of them were so good at kung fu that they were sent to Jiangnan to sell Gu medicine, which was counted as an escort. That was the old practice of the ancient village, and every year a few families would be sent out of the village to sell Gu.

The two of them are not there, how can Zhu Yi be willing to stay in the village?

Zhu Teng didn't care about Zhu Yi, so she didn't need to ask him for instructions. So after obtaining A-Niang's consent, she happily embarked on the eastward journey.

After more than two months of hard work, in May of the 24th year of the curtain opening, the group arrived in Qiancheng in the south of the Yangtze River and regarded Qiancheng as the destination of that year.

There, it is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River with a rich and tactful color that Zhuyi has never seen.

It's also where her ridiculous story begins and ends.

May in the south of the Yangtze River is a good season for flowers and warblers singing and dancing.

The flat and wide streets are full of people, businessmen set up small stalls and compete for sales, and people wander the streets and alleys in a leisurely manner. There are several restaurants and taverns next to the theater, bustling in front of the door, a prosperous scene, a hundred times more lively than Jiang Yu City. Zhu Yi is curious, full of childishness, dazzling at all kinds of things that he has never seen before, looking here and touching there, and can't put it down.

It's a pity she doesn't have the money to buy it. The money from selling Gu medicine is all in the hands of adults, and they can go to eat good food, but they don't give Zhu Yi at all, and they are dragged down even when they first come with Qiu Shui.

Later, Zhu Yi was in a hurry, and quietly took out some Gu medicine to sell in the market while they were not paying attention. It was such a coincidence that she met the people of Yaoxianzhuang.

They were Zhu Yi's first guests, and Zhu Yi did her best to brag about how her Gu medicine was magical. The other party obviously didn't believe it, so Zhu Yi chased all the way, and chased a few people until they had to throw down a few taels of silver and leave in a hurry.

So, Zhu Yi's first money was obtained by stealing the medicine in the village and "forcibly selling".

After half a month, it happened that she met those buyers again. People are much better dressed than ordinary market figures, and they are rich and rich, and they put on their clothes again, and they want to trade again.

The man who was the first to turn around and asked the person next to him, "She is the little girl who sold your medicinal herbs that day?" Someone nodded. He bent down and asked Zhu Yi, "Where is the little girl from?" ”

Zhu Yi was fourteen years old and short like a winter melon, and he still wore Xili's braids, looking at him with a flattering smile: "I'm leaving Xili, do you still want to buy Gu medicine?" The ones in our village are definitely different from those in Nanban. The poison of the Nanban, our evil. You must know that evil can be much more practical than poison, and ours can be used as a tonic......"

Before Zhu Yi finished speaking, the man instructed a young man to pay for all the Gu medicine in her hand. Zhu Yi was happy and hurriedly handed over the Gu medicine. The man didn't answer, but only asked, "You are from Xili, so can you breed Gu?" ”

Zhu Yi heard that the business was expected to expand, so she hurriedly pretended to be an adult, and was so confident that she was proud: "Of course, there are few women in our west who don't know how to leave the ancient village." When the man heard this, he chuckled lightly and asked, "If you can, I hope the little girl can find an adult from your family and raise some for us." No matter what the finished product is, we buy it all. ”

Zhu Yi does know how to raise Gu, listening to the other party say this, as if he saw gold, he was excited, and he recommended himself at the moment, bluntly saying that he grew up raising Gu since he was a child. She was reluctant to introduce the group of adults in the ancient village to the other party.

A few days later, the man came over, and at the corner of the side street, he saw at a glance Zhu Yi who was trying his best to sell Gu medicine to passers-by. secretly paid attention to Zhu Yi's whereabouts, and followed her to find the adults in the ancient village.

He made his intentions clear, but he didn't want to be vetoed by them. First, the rules of the ancient village: it is never allowed to breed Gu privately outside the ancient village, and second, adults with families want to sell all the Gu medicine and go home.

Persuasion was useless, and the person who came had to return his attention to Zhu Yi, who was desperately squeezing his eyebrows behind everyone.

Zhu Yi wanted to meet the legendary "big family", and Qiu Shui had to accompany her to go over with the man.

Out of the city, all the way to the west by carriage for nearly half an hour, passing through a suburb, and then arrived at a magnificent but quiet Zhuangzi.

That is the remote case village, its young master - Zuo Chu. And the person who picked them up was Xu Yuying.

Zhu Yi is fourteen years old, which is the time when the girl's plot breeds. The subtle changes in her body made her realize that she was different from Qiu and Chu. This also made her curious about the opposite sex, and the scary thing is that she occasionally dreamed of spring.

There is no girl who has grown up and befriended people around her, so when she finds out that she has a "weird" and uncontrollable strange feeling in her heart, she almost panics, thinking that something is wrong with her.

On that day, on the fourth day of June in the south of the Yangtze River, the early summer accompanied by cool rain descended on Qiancheng, and the weather was gloomy. The three of them entered the Yaoxin Village. Xu Yuying took them to meet the owner of Yaoxianzhuang.

That was the first time she had seen Zuo Tsai.

fell in love at first sight, and couldn't break free.

That man, it's really good to see the dazzling. The facial features are delicate and angular, the temperament is gentle and alienated, and the style is elegant and sharp. He wore a white shirt that day, and his black hair was quietly draped behind him, very long and beautiful.

Zhu Yi was stupid at the time, and only said in his heart: This should be the best-looking man in the world, right? Why did I run into it? It's just so beautiful......

At that time, she was dizzy, lost her ability to think, and smirked stupidly in front of Zuo Qi, causing several people around her to be startled when they looked at her extremely abnormal appearance.

Zuo Chu was stared at by the little girl in front of him, and he was not surprised at all, after all, how many girls saw him and directly skipped shyness and timidity, and went straight to the level of stupidity.

It's no wonder, he said simply, with a faint and detached tone, he only said that he would arrange a place for the three of Zhu Yi to live in exchange for her to raise Gu for him.

Zhu Yi came to his senses, realized that he could live in this person's village, and happily pinched and jumped at the first arrival.

Chu Lin looked at her with disdain, gritted his teeth and freed his arm......

Zuo Qi looked at the jumping Zhu Yi, no matter the size, appearance, voice, full of childishness, where is the shadow of a girl? I couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that she was fourteen years old?" ”

Xu Yuying coughed embarrassedly: "The girl in Zhuyi said that she was about to die." He knew that the master couldn't believe that Zhu Yi would breed Gu, and added: "She has studied Gu medicine since she was a child, not pretending to understand, if the owner is not at ease, try her first." ”

“……”

After that, she and Qiu Shui stayed in Yaozhuang for the first time. The adults in the ancient village waited for the Gu medicine to be sold out, and immediately returned with a full load. Before leaving, Qiu Shui found them, took the people from the book trust back to the west and left them to A-Niang, and accompanied Zhu Yi to stay in Yaozhuang temporarily.

In the remote case village, Zuo Zhu let the old housekeeper arrange for the three of them to live in the westernmost corner of the remote case village, and also sent a maid to serve Zhu Yi.

The only "maid" in Zhu Yi's life, named Wen Xi, has a shy and steady personality, although she is only two years older than Zhu Yi, she is capable and thoughtful in everything. Wenxi is the only same-sex friend that Zhu Yi relies on wholeheartedly.

In June, Qiancheng entered the rainy season, and almost every day was a dripping summer rain. Since the first time I saw Zuo Chu, Zhu Yi has inexplicably become incapable of doing things, and only wants to see him again all day long, and begins to dream about him at night, in which he will talk a lot.

So she felt that he was getting better and his voice was better, so she was more eager to see him.

If you ask Zhu Yi what she likes about Zuo Qi, she probably won't be able to answer. The little girl's mind may simply be because of the other party's good-looking appearance.

After all, good-looking people are liked by anyone who looks at them.

Although she missed him urgently, Zuo Chu was very busy, and she went to other cities to visit the academy twice in three days, and most of them were not in the village. Even if Zuo Qi rarely returns to the village, Xu Yuying will also tell her not to disturb the owner of the village except for matters related to Gu cultivation.

There is a rule in Yaozhanzhuang: Unless it is an important matter, it will not entertain guests. And Zhu Yi was because Zuo Qi needed Gu medicine, so he had to make an exception.
