Chapter 48
In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed, and Mr. Xia moved to Qiancaotang to recuperate carefully, and his leg injury has gradually improved, and he can no longer stay in bed, and he can move freely in the pharmacy in a wheelchair every day, and the reopening of Qiancaotang has also been put on the agenda.
Yan Xiaowei also frequently sneaked out of Yan's mansion, and every time she helped Old Man Xia massage the acupuncture points on his legs to avoid muscle atrophy, he also studied some ginseng Yangrong pills and Gui Spleen Pills that were popular in the capital together, intending to be used as the signature tonic of Qiancaotang.
Early in the morning of this day, Yan Xiaowei had just had breakfast and planned to quietly climb the wall and go out of the house to discuss the specific matters of the opening of Qiancaotang with Ye Zhen, not wanting to meet Yan Haiyue, who had come back from the summer vacation a few days ago.
She saw Yan Xiaowei dressed neatly and curled her lips and smiled: "My sister is dressed so neatly today, is it an unknown prophet?" β
Yan Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly opened the door to let her into the house, wondering in her heart: "Why did my sister come early in the morning?" I heard that when you came back from the summer vacation in Bluestone City, you caught up with the official road renovation and couldn't walk the car, so you had to go around a big circle from behind the mountain to return to Beijing, it took two more days than when you went, and now she is still sore when she sits in the carriage! Sister, why don't you rest more in the room? β
Yan Haiyue smiled, and her eyes fell on her face: "I originally wanted to rest more, but suddenly I remembered that when you traveled with the princess, you were attacked by the Japanese people, and your life and death were uncertain." And I was far away in the capital and could only listen to the news from the palace, and my heart was up and down, for fear that you would not be able to come back, so I went to Tanshui Temple on the outskirts of Beijing to pray for you. β
She took Yan Xiaoyi's hand: "Maybe the Buddha heard my heart, you Jiren Youji Xiangping came back safely, I am grateful, and I want to take you back to Tanshui Temple to make a vow." But a few days ago, I went to Bluestone City with my father to escape the summer, and a month has passed, and I am afraid that I will blame the Buddha if I don't wish the Buddha again. Thinking that it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, the injuries on your body are all healed now, I am afraid that you will grow hair every day in the house. Let Ti Dong prepare a carriage and horse, take you to Tanshui Temple today to make a vow, and take you to release the wind by the way. How about it, sister, would you like to go with me? β
Originally, Yan Xiaoyan planned to go to Qiancaotang today, but in the face of Yan Haiyue's expectant gaze, she really couldn't say anything to refuse. What's more, this time she still wishes because of her, and she shouldn't refuse when she thinks about Yan Haiyue's heart.
After the Liu family, Yan Xiaowei and Yan Haiyue immediately went out.
The last time Liu took her from the countryside to the capital, she stayed overnight in Tanshui Temple, and she also got married. At that time, she thought he was a bad person, but she would never have thought that the second time she went to Tanshui Temple, her identity actually became his fiancΓ©e!
Maybe it was because the fatigue of the carriage and horses had not eased a few days ago, Yan Haiyue fell asleep not long after getting into the carriage, leaving Yan Xiaoyu to sit alone on the opposite side and bored, so she could only open the curtain of the car and look out at the scenery.
At that time, the summer had quietly passed, and the farther away from the capital, the farther into the mountains, the cooler the temperature became. The trees in the mountains have begun to turn yellow, and even the air has begun to smell of autumn.
After looking at the same scenery for a while, Yan Xiaoyu fell asleep unconsciously. Who would have thought, when I woke up again, the carriage was already in a dark light. When she reached out and lifted the curtain to look out, the sun had already set below the horizon, leaving only a trace of residual sun in the sky, and the carriage was still squeaking.
Yan Xiaoyi felt inexplicably that something was wrong, the last time she went from Tanshui Temple to the capital with Liu, it was also a winter drive, and it took less than a day to arrive. But this time, after walking for so long, why are you still on the road?
Through the curtain of the carriage, she saw a huge old elm tree hidden in the bushes not far away, its branches and vines drooping, slowly retreating with the carriage. If memory serves, she had just accidentally glanced out of the carriage when she was half-asleep, and how could it appear again at this moment?
Although the mountains have always been full of grass and trees, even the nests in the treetops are exactly the same, is it just a coincidence?
Her heart suddenly mentioned, Jie Dong is a small guy who is specially driven by the Yan family, I don't know how many times he has walked the road to Tanshui Temple, if the possibility of him getting lost is ruled out, it can only mean that he is deliberately going around in circles in the mountains!
Yan Xiaoyun looked back at Yan Haiyue, who was resting with her eyes slightly closed, only to see her lips move, and she opened her eyes suddenly: "What's wrong?" But hungry? β
Yan Xiaowei nodded, carefully observing every subtle expression on her face: "A little, sister, when will we arrive?" β
Yan Haiyue turned over, lifted the curtain and poked her head out: "Hip Dong, how long do we have to get to Tanshui Temple, we are all hungry!" β
Butterfly's voice came from the front: "Miss, let's go slowly today, and it is estimated that we won't be able to reach Tanshui Temple before dark." If you and the second lady are hungry, why don't we find a place to eat first, and then make plans! β
Yan Haiyue frowned and glanced at Yan Xiaoyi: "What's the matter?" Isn't it a day when you go to Tanshui Temple? Why has it been so long now? β
Shan Dong said slightly apologetically: "Miss, it is estimated that our carriage and horses have just returned from Bluestone City, and the horses have not yet recovered, so no matter how you drive them, they can't go fast." This dumb beast is stubborn, and the little one has no choice but to wronged the two girls. β
Yan Haiyue grabbed the handkerchief in her hand and glanced at Yan Xiaoyi: "That's it, you can pick a suitable place to park first!" I'm hungry and tired in the car, and if it's too late to travel, we'll just sleep in the wilderness at night. β
She turned her head and held Yan Xiaoyi's hand: "It's too dangerous to travel at night, so I can only decide like this now." Fortunately, the weather is not cold, and even if you sleep in the open at night, you will not get the wind chill. And with me and Chotson by your side, you don't have to worry about encountering wild beasts or villains in the wilderness. β
I don't know if Yan Xiaowei is thinking too much, or if there are indeed ghosts in it, she always feels that when Yan Haiyue said what she just said, her eyes always glanced at her face intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't dare to really look at her.
However, she racked her brains and couldn't think of when she had offended Yan Haiyue, so she could only shake her head and secretly laugh at herself for thinking too much, and she was about to suffer from paranoia of being killed.
The carriage drove for a while, and finally came to a slow stop at a short distance from a river.
Shan Dong jumped out of the carriage and walked over to lift the curtain for the two: "Miss, there are only places in this radius of several miles nearby, and only this place is the most suitable." It's close to the water source, so it's convenient for us to cook for a while. β
Yan Haiyue put her hand on his hand, stepped out of the carriage and nodded slowly, and instructed the maid she brought in front of the carriage: "You go and take out the pot and rice behind the carriage, the second girl and I are hungry, let's wash the rice and cook rice first!" β
Yan Xiaowei got out of the car after her, and when she saw that Douxiang really took out the pot and rice, she asked in surprise: "Sister, you actually brought these things!" β
Yan Haiyue smiled and took her hand, smiling innocently: "What is this, I also brought yellow eels from the kitchen in our house!" Originally, I was afraid that you would not be used to eating the vegetarian food of Tanshui Temple, and I planned to secretly open meat while the little novices were away. I didn't expect to be in the temple before dark today, so we can eat meat openly this time! β
It was getting darker, and Butterwinter got dry wood from the woods and lit a bonfire, and Douxiang steamed the rice that had just been washed from the river on the bonfire, and then turned around and took out a clay pot from the carriage.
Yan Xiaoyi's heart was always up and down, and she subconsciously didn't want to get too close to Yan Haiyue and Butterbur, so she came to Douxiang's side.
Douxiang didn't expect her to come over suddenly, the hand holding the clay pot suddenly shook, and the yellow eel snake twisted its body and rushed out of the jar, Douxiang glanced at Yan Haiyue in panic, hurriedly stabilized the clay pot in her hand, squatted down and grabbed the yellow eel escaping in the grass with both hands.
Yan Haiyue heard the movement here and really walked over, and glanced at Douxiang coldly: "How do you do things, you can't hold such a little thing steadily, don't eat tonight's dinner!" β
Douxiang hurriedly knelt down and begged her in a panic: "Miss, I was wrong, I really didn't mean to." I didn't mean to ......."
Yan Haiyue suddenly interrupted her loudly: "Okay, I didn't say anything about you!" What are you doing in a daze, why don't you take it to the river to wash it, and make fish soup for the second girl for a while! β
Douxiang hurriedly kowtowed, hugged the clay pot and ran away in a panic.
After a while, the rice was steamed, and the yellow eel soup also wafted a faint fragrance.
The four of them sat on the ground, and Yan Haiyue personally filled a bowl of fish soup for Yan Xiaoyi, and her smile was particularly bright under the cover of the bonfire: "Sister, try this yellow eel soup." This was specially brought back from her hometown by Aunt Lin from the kitchen, and it was the most nourishing. Not to mention in the wild, even in the capital, ordinary people can't drink a sip even if they cut their heads! β
Yan Xiaowei held the hot fish soup, and glanced at Yan Haiyue opposite through the rising water vapor: "Since it is such a good thing, sister should also drink it while it is hot!" β
Yan Haiyue also picked up the bowl with a light smile, the bottom of the bowl tilted slightly, and when she put it down again, she pursed her lips. Seeing that Yan Xiaowei was holding the bowl and not moving, she blinked her eyelashes: "Why doesn't my sister drink it, it won't taste good if it's cold for a while." Is it possible, are you afraid that my sister will not be able to drug this fish soup? β
Yan Xiaowei lowered her head and smiled, revealing two small pear vortices at the corners of her mouth: "Sister is really joking, although we were not born to the same mother, but in the end, we are the same mother, how could we do such a cannibalistic thing?" β
As she spoke, she pushed the bowl to her lips.
After the time of a pillar of incense, the fish soup in Yan Xiaoyi's bowl was bottomed out, and half a bowl of rice was eaten. She handed the bowl in her hand to Douxiang, and suddenly held her forehead with her hand, the green tendons in front of her forehead jumped suddenly, and her whole face turned red.
She hoarsely voiced and had a painful expression: "Sister, my head suddenly hurts, and I can't see anything in front of me!" β
Yan Haiyue hooked her lips and smiled, her face showed an expression almost distorted under the light of the red bonfire, her eyes flashed with crackling flames, and her voice seemed to come from hell: "It's right if you can't see it!" β
She slowly stood up, her long shadow dragging on the ground like a ghost, and a giggle overflowed from her mouth: "In your life, you will never be seen again!" β
