Qin Yixuan hesitated for a long time, thinking of the safety of tens of thousands of people in Runan, and decided to go to Nanyang with Shang Zhilin to buy medicine and visit Zhang Xihe.

The next day, Qin Zhenxuan, Shang Zhilin, and Cai Zhongshan took ten white-clothed disciples out of the Huanghuashen Temple. The three of them rode in front, and the rest of the crowd followed behind with several large carts. Qin Yixuan walked on the right, Cai Zhongshan on the left, and Shang Zhilin in the middle. Along the way, Cai Zhongshan seemed very excited, and kept talking to Shang Zhilin. Shang Zhilin only cared about walking, ignoring Cai Zhongshan, and did not talk to Qin Yixuan. Cai Zhongshan felt very embarrassed and closed his mouth and said no more.

There was nothing to say all the way, and the group came to the east gate of Nanyang Mansion in the evening of the next day. I found an inn to stay in. Qin Yixuan, Shang Zhilin, and Cai Zhongshan each asked for a single room, Shang Zhilin lived in the middle, and the rest of the disciples lived in several rooms. I plan to visit Zhang Xihe again the next day.

That night, Qin Yuxuan recalled the events of the past few days, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. Thinking of the monk Zhilin snuggling up to each other on a rainy night in the ancient temple, a warmth suddenly swayed in my heart. Thinking of all kinds of strange things in the Huanghua Temple, this mysterious Shang Zhilin is always unpredictable. There is also this "White Cloth Society", which is clearly the "White Lotus Sect" of the year. What is the government's attitude towards them, and will I get into trouble if I am with them like this? However, judging by what they did for the sake of the common people, they actually took such a large amount of silver to buy medicinal materials for the victims of Runan, it seems that they are doing a righteous thing. Even if they affect themselves, it is worth saving so many people of Runan. And who is Li Youlan, who came and went without a trace? Isn't she going to Zhuxian Town to catch the meeting? Why did you save yourself twice in Fengqiu and Zhuxian Town? How did you get to Huanghua Temple? And why didn't she say goodbye?

When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a slight knock on the door of Shang Zhilin's room next door, and just knocked a few times, it was the dead of night at this time, so he heard it very clearly. I only heard Shang Zhilin ask softly, "Who?" ”

Cai Zhongshan's low voice came from outside: "Senior sister, it's me." ”

Shang Zhilin whispered in the room, "Senior brother, what's the matter?" It's so late, let's talk about it tomorrow. ”

Cai Zhongshan refused to leave: "Senior sister, you open the door first, I am really in a hurry." It was a long time before the sound of the door opening.

Although Cai Zhongshan and Shang Zhilin's voice was very low, Qin Yuxuan could still faintly hear it clearly. I only heard Shang Zhilin say: "What can't you say tomorrow?" Do you have to wait until this time to say? In the middle of the night, what do you think when others see it? ”

Cai Zhongshan said: "Senior sister, you always ignore me these days. I feel uncomfortable, I want to tell you what is in my heart, there are so many people during the day, I ...... I didn't have a chance to say what I said. Do you know how bitter my heart is when I haven't seen you for so many days? ”

I only heard Shang Zhilin say: "Senior brother, don't say such things to me in the future, it's not good for people to hear." ”

Cai Zhongshan said: "What if you hear it? Senior sister, we grew up together, and I am five years older than you. I lead you to play every day, carry you, hold you, you cry, I coax you, let's play together, I am a father, you are a mother, and I take a flock of lambs as a baby. can be described as a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses. How happy we were then! But as we get older, we become less talkative. You haven't talked to me much in recent times, especially when you came back yesterday. I...... I got angry when I saw you look at the eyes surnamed Qin, did you like him? ”

Shang Zhilin said: "What are you talking about? Don't be cranky, I'm going to sleep, so you should rest early. ”

I only heard Cai Yat-sen say: "Don't deny it, your mind can be hidden, others can't hide me." Don't look at you ignoring the guy surnamed Qin during the day, but I can see that you are angry with him. The look you occasionally glanced at him on the road yesterday did not escape my eyes, your eyes were full of resentment, but more of a lingering affection. Don't deny it, if you can look at me like that, I'm willing to die. You say, do you really like him? ”

Qin Yuxuan tilted his ears when he heard this, he wanted to hear what Shang Zhilin would say. He already knew that Cai Zhongshan was deeply in love with Shang Zhilin.

I only heard Shang Zhilin whisper: "Senior brother, you really misunderstood me, Mr. Qin has a life-saving grace for me, I only have gratitude to him, and I have no private thoughts about my children." Senior brother, don't get me wrong. ”

Cai Zhongshan said: "No, I will never be mistaken. If you really don't like him, you won't show that kind of vision. You know, when I saw you look at him like that, my heart hurt like a knife. ”

Shang Zhilin said: "Senior brother, Mr. Qin is ten years older than me, how can I like him?" Besides, he has married and had children, even if I really like him, can't I make him a concubine? Do you think I'm that cheap? ”

I only heard Cai Zhongshan seem to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with surprise and joy: "Is this true? Is he really married and has children? I'm sorry, good sister, but I misunderstood you. You're eighteen this year, and I'm twenty-three, what should we do? I only heard Shang Zhilin say: "Senior brother, there are many affairs in the sect now, and Runan has suffered this calamity again. My father and mother are thousands of miles away, trapped by the enemy, and the big thing has not been accomplished, and it is difficult to return to the homeland? Where is there anything on the mind to talk about this? ”

Cai Yat-sen said: "Having said that, we are all people who have never been home since we were children? Do you think I don't want to go back to my homeland as soon as possible, wipe out the Japanese invaders, and let you see my father and mother as soon as possible? But now that the strength is weak, going back is undoubtedly like hitting a stone with an egg. Can't we go back to our homeland in this life, and our affairs will be fruitless in our lifetime? ”

I only heard Shang Zhilin say: "If I can't see my father, I will never marry." At that time, Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty once said, 'The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home'? Now the mountains and rivers are broken, and the Japanese are rampant. If you are a manly husband, you should think about how to repel the Japanese invaders, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and return to your homeland, instead of thinking about getting married. Besides, our marriage contract is only decided by the master alone, and my father and mother did not agree. Although Master has been very kind to me like a mountain, like my own parents, I believe that my parents are still alive, and since ancient times, I have to talk to them about my parents' orders and matchmakers' words. If my father and mother are not alive, it will be fine. Although I haven't seen my parents for more than ten years, and the widows are fierce and cruel, they will not harm them because of public opinion. And they're not very old, so I'm sure they're still alive. Senior brother, go back, I will never marry you if I don't see my parents. If you are a really manly husband, take me to my parents quickly. ”

Cai Yat-sen was silent for a long time, and finally seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Okay, even if you are broken, I will take you to meet your parents." Tomorrow, we will hurry up to procure medicinal herbs, cure the plague, gather strength, and return to our homeland as soon as possible. I'm gone, you can rest. I only heard Cai Yat-sen's gentle footsteps and the sound of the door closing behind.

The more Qin Yanxuan listened, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart. It seems that Shang Zhilin and Cai Zhongshan are not natives of Henan, what mountains and rivers are broken, and the Japanese are rampant. Why are you still involved with the Japanese? Where in China was occupied by Japan? And what do Shang Zhilin's parents do? Is it really still alive? Alas, I have only cared about reciting poems in my own small world all these years, and I have never thought about national affairs.

It seems that this Shang Zhilin is not a simple person, they are all people who do great things. Also, Cai Zhongshan and Shang Zhilin seem to have a marriage contract, and I can see that Shang Zhilin is very contradictory these days. Although Shang Zhilin doesn't talk to herself, she does have attachment to herself from her actions. And he didn't dare to accept her love.

Judging from the cloud socks worn by the old monk that day, the gang of thieves who robbed the Qin family's pharmacy that day seemed to be inextricably linked to Huanghua Temple. and his dead brother, could it be that this weak woman named Shang Zhilin was really the murderer of her second brother? and Cai Zhongshan's young man is very good-looking, he is a good match with Shang Zhilin, and he loves her so deeply, he should think of a way to separate from Shang Zhilin as soon as possible. After a long time, when she forgets this relationship, he and Cai Zhongshan can get the happiness they deserve.

Suddenly Qin Yuxuan remembered the piece of imperial jade, he turned over and got up, stretched out his hand to open the hookah, the hookah is special, after the lid on it is opened, you can put the piece of jade into the pot, and then fill it with water, no one would have thought that the imperial jade would be hidden here. However, this time the hookah turned out to be very light, Qin Yixuan couldn't help but be surprised, only to find that the priceless piece of imperial jade was gone.........
