The autumn leaves are still withered and yellow, the mountain road is full of thorns, in fact, it is not a road, because no one has walked it, the deserted village is the village that came to the village without obstacles eight years ago, the collapsed houses are covered with dry grass, if you don't look carefully, you think it is a grave that has been dug up, and after eight years, there is still no one living here.

Such a scenery will never let Wanjiao pay attention to it, even if she sees it, it will not be associated with the mood, she is always very happy, one will ask the east, one will ask the west, often force the unspeakable barrier to speak, laughter is always accompanied by the barrier, and the barrier has no way to take her.

Dusk is approaching, and the two have been walking on the official road for a long time, thinking that China will be unified and the people can live in peace, but the road is still desolate.

Finally saw a few people, who were also elderly widows who had returned from cutting firewood on the mountain, put down the dry firewood, rested on the side of the road, and envied the pair of young men who walked in front of them, leading to a period of mourning.

There is indeed a post station, there are no people around the post station, two small cabins, one lives for people, the other is for horses, people live with doors and no windows, and horses live with doors and windows.

There are two horses, thinner than Wujiao, this is the fast horse stolen by Wanjiao, Wujiao stood far away from the post station, seeing Wanjiao leading the thin horse left and right and walking out lightly, I don't know what method she used, it was so easy.

Wanjiao muttered: "Just these two horses, let's ride them together!"

Wu Barrier said: "What method did you use to steal it!"

Wanjiao said angrily: "What do you mean by stealing, it is to take it, Wanjiao only blows lightly, and let them sleep for three days, otherwise, how about the childe try it?"

Wuxian begged for mercy: "No need to try. "Wuxian must answer quickly, if she is slow, maybe she will really do it, and Wuxian has been taught many times in this half a day.

Wujiao has never ridden a horse, but Wanjiao only demonstrated it once, and Wujiao learned it, looking at Wuji sitting on the horse, Wanjiao smiled and said: "Childe sits on this horse, it looks much more well-proportioned!"

......

The two of them rode for dozens of miles overnight, and hid in the mountains and forests next to the official road at dawn to rest, because Wuxian was still afraid that the Tsing Yi Taoist would chase after him, or hide somewhere to intercept, in order to avoid him, they had to rush at night and rest during the day.

Tie the horse to graze under the tree not far away, the two leaned under an ancient tree together, and after eating the steamed buns that Wanjiao took at the post station, after a while, Wanjiao fell asleep, her head tilted and leaned on the shoulder of Wuji, it seems that she likes to sleep lazily during the day, maybe this is her habit.

The roots of the ears without obstacles are finally clean, through the leaves, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, thinking about what else he can do after going to Huashan, but after thinking about it, he feels that he can't do anything, because of the torment of these days, so that he has not had an attack for nearly half a year, and he is about to attack again, in fact, it has already begun, but his heart was more painful than his body at that time, and he didn't realize it, he still needs to live to complete the master's will.

Two days later to Hanoi, the road to Huashan was blocked by the Yellow River, as far as the eye can see, the peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the flow is endless, the waves are endless, the first time I saw the Yellow River, I saw it for a long time, and then followed Wanjiao to the downstream to find the ferry.

They were supposed to cross the Yellow River from Hedong to Huashan, but the route was the closest, so they changed their route temporarily, and chose to cross the Yellow River from Hanoi and take a detour to Huashan via Yingchuan.

......

There is a simple pergola with a tea table and chairs next to the ferry, and a very good business owner opened a teahouse here for people crossing the river to rest and wait for the boat to pass the time.

Today, there were two caravans that wanted to cross the river, plus some individual passengers, and there were quite a few people sitting and drinking tea inside.

Wuji and Wanjiao let the stolen horse go, because it was an official horse, and the horse had a brand on it, and when they came to this ferry, both of them were dressed in white, like a pair of fairy couples, attracting the attention of those who drank tea under the pergola.

Without obstacles, he was afraid of many people, and Wanjiao did not go to a crowded place under the pergola, but stood on the shore where there were few people, with his back to the pergola, looking at the Yellow River from afar, waiting for the boat to come.

Wujiao has instructed Wanjiao not to say much in front of many people, so Wanjiao is surprisingly stable at this time, standing quietly beside Wujiao.

The two of them stood on the shore, and the tea drinkers under the pergola began to whisper, guessing the identity and relationship of the two, some could hear clearly without obstacles, some could not hear clearly, some were envious, and some were unpleasant.

Wanjiao wanted to turn around several times and reprimand those people, but she knew that she didn't want to cause trouble, attracting attention, and kept holding back her anger.

There are always lustful people, a slightly thin figure, a rich man dressed in white, holding a folding fan in his hand, came to Wuxian with a smile, and said with a smile: "Disturb the two, in Shimoda Buming, see that Childe is personable and dignified, I hope to make a friend with Childe, and I hope that Childe will give a thin noodle and drink a cup of herbal tea under the shed?"

Wuji turned around and thought, "If I don't go, I will definitely not give him face, I will be too arrogant, and it will cause more trouble." Hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Tian is under Li Sin, Mr. Childe is too elevated, if I don't go, I will be unfamiliar, so I have to let Mr. Son break the bank." ”

Tian Buming said happily: "Please Li Gongzi!" Someone in the pergola gave Tian Buming a thumbs up.

Wujiao returned a request, followed Tian Buming to the pergola, Wanjiao followed behind, the shed immediately vacated a most conspicuous tea table, the three of them sat down, Wanjiao sat next to Wujiao, the people in the shed carefully looked at the two of them, especially Wanjiao's eyes, very rude.

After Xiao Er finished serving tea, Tian Buming began to ask: "I take the liberty of asking, who is this girl from Gongzi, can you recommend it?"

Wu Jie Xin said: "This is the reason why he asked me to drink tea, it seems that walking with Wanjiao is really troublesome!" glanced at Wanjiao, hoping that she wouldn't mind, and said to Tian Buming: "This is my sister-in-law, Li Jiao." ”

These people drinking tea under the pergola became even more excited when they heard Wujian say this.

When Tian Buming heard this, he was overjoyed, and looked at Wanjiao, "Sister Ling looks like a fairy, I am really fortunate to meet you here!"

Wanjiao raised her eyebrows, ignoring Tian Buming at all, her eyes stared at Wuji, which meant to say, "You gave me another name, and when did you become your sister, look at me when I have no one, how do you explain it to me." ”

Seeing that Wanjiao ignored it, Tian Buming retracted his gaze in embarrassment, looked at Wuxian and said, "Son, where are you going?"

Wu Barrier said: "I want to take my sister to Yingchuan to pay tribute to my ancestors, I fled there when I was young, and I never went back to worship." ”

Tian Buming said happily: "My home is in Yingchuan, just by the way, if the son does not dislike it, you can go with the caravan below, and be a guide below, we can also enhance friendship with each other." ”

Wanjiao said coldly: "We will leave by ourselves." ”

Tian Buming couldn't take off the smile on his face for a while, and said slightly: "My sister is pampered on weekdays, I hope Brother Tian will forgive me!"

"Okay, okay, hehe, Tian likes this kind of character. Cheekily smiled.

Wanjiao's eyes were wide open, and she wanted to be angry, but she hurriedly gave Wanjiao a look, and Wanjiao endured her anger, got up alone, left the pergola, walked to the shore, and kicked the stones into the water from time to time.

Tian Buming was even more happy when he saw Wanjiao being angry with him, and bowed his hand and apologized: "It was I who saw Sister Ling, and I forgot for a while, and I lost my words, and I hope that Brother Li can go over to persuade me and ask Sister Ling to forgive me for my faux pas!"

Wu Jie said: "You are so rude, you even let me persuade me, if it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, how could I talk to someone like you, besides, with a delicate temper, you may be looking for teeth all over the ground by now." "I wanted to get up and leave, but when I saw that there was a bamboo board in Tian Buming's sleeve, I suddenly remembered 'Zhaoshen', and he also lived in Cangyan Mountain for too long, and he forgot many things.

The so-called photo-body is a bamboo board that depicts the head, name and official imprint, since the Qin State changed the law of the Shang Dynasty, people pass by the body, if there is no photo, they will be detained, do hard labor for a few days, and the identity is verified before the person is released.

That person served in the Qin Dynasty, and he must have ordered all the fortresses and ferries to pay attention to the search, and once he was detained, he would definitely not be able to escape.

Wuji's brows moved slightly, he stood up, and said lightly: "Sister She's been angry with me for the past two days, and she may not be able to listen to me, I'll try." ”

"It's hard work!"

Wuji walked up to Wanjiao and whispered, "Wuji made you angry." ”

"If it weren't for you, I would have skinned him!"

"It's not okay to peel the skin, it's still appropriate to let him suffer a small loss. ”

Wanjiao turned from fire to joy and said, "You let me go and give him some color now?"

"Not now, let me ask you, how did you get past this river in the past?"

Wanjiao said proudly: "If you are walking on the ground, you will naturally tread water, if I can carry you, I don't have to wait for this broken boat." ”

"That's good, I just remembered that I didn't take care of my body and couldn't cross the river, so I still need to wronged you, you are so ...... ...... like this," Wuji told Wanjiao the method he had come up with.

After hearing this, Wanjiao squinted her beautiful eyes, pointed at Wuji, and snickered: "I didn't expect you to be quite bad, but this is not good, how can you spare him so easily!"

Wuji said lightly: "It's enough to let him suffer a little loss, if he does too much, it will bring trouble, as long as he can cross the river smoothly." ”

......

Returning to the tea table without obstacles, Tian Buming asked eagerly, "Has Sister Ling ever forgiven me?"

Wuji sighed and said, "Brother Tian, can you take a step to speak?"

Tian Buming hurriedly said, "Okay!" The two came to a place where no one was.

Wuxian said: "Brother Tian didn't know, I left in a hurry and forgot to take my body, I only remembered when I saw this ferry, the reason why my sister was angry with me was also for this reason, she wanted to go back to get it, and I was afraid of missing the time, now I don't know what to do, I don't know if Brother Tian can help think of a way." ”

Tian Buming shook his fan lightly and thought: "So that's the case, this is our caravan, all of us have one hand, otherwise you can mix into our caravan." ”

Wu Jie said: "Dare to ask Brother Tian, can you take out one of the caravans, borrow me to take care of my body, I will go to worship alone, he and his sister will wait near this ferry, and when I return, thank him and return it to him, he is returning to your mansion alone, can Brother Tian agree to the reluctant invitation of the next?"

Tian Buming's eyes turned around, and finally turned to Wanjiao in the distance, flashing a hint of silver, "How can it be done!" There are portraits engraved on the body, although it is not very clear, but where are there people with the appearance of Brother Li in my caravan, all of them are disgraced, only ...... Only my avatar is somewhat similar to Brother Li, they are difficult to identify, it is better to take my picture of Brother Li in this way, and I will wait for Brother Li here. ”

"How can this be, it will take me several days to go back and forth, how can I bother Brother Tian to wait here. ”

"Don't bother, I'll be fine when I go back, there's a ...... here There is food and drink, you must have done everything well, and when you come back, I will not be in a hurry. ”

"Brother Natian's caravan is ......"

"Alas, I came out with the caravan, and I have always done my own thing, and they didn't have me, so things were done as well, and I just went and commanded them. ”

"Don't Brother Tian want to walk with Zai Xia and enhance friendship?"

Tian Buming said with a smile: "There will be opportunities in the future." As he spoke, he handed the figure to Wuji.

Wuxian put it in his sleeve, and thanked him: "Then thank you Brother Tian, the housemate will ask Brother Tian to take care of her, she is stubborn by nature, she doesn't understand the world, and she looks at Haihan." ”

......

The two returned to the pergola, Tian Buming explained some things about the caravan, and chatted with Wuji, not long after, I saw the huge ferry boat sailing from the upstream, the speed was very fast, a moment later, it broke anchor and docked at the ferry, there were more than forty shirtless officers and soldiers on the boat as oars sailors, this boat is an official ship, the plywood of the ship is very wide, it can accommodate hundreds of people, the cost of crossing the river is very high, it takes three taels of silver, which is why Qin Zheng operates here, and in addition to controlling the flow of population, arresting fugitive prisoners, it also played a great role。

The chief was a white-faced fat man in an official uniform, and as soon as the ship docked, he shouted: "Stand in line first, and prepare your body and silver!"

Where is the silver without obstacles, when he was worried, Tian Buming took the initiative to hand over the silver taels to the guys, and handed them over to the white-faced officials together.

The white-faced official took the photo handed over by Wuji, looked at Wuji carefully, and said: "Tian Buming, I don't think this photo is yours, impostor, but you will be punished!"

Wuji coughed lightly and said: "Don't dare, the first time I came out with the caravan, I was a little unwell, and my face was disturbed by the official, I hope you will forgive me!"

The white-faced official, there are many people who check every day, and after a long time, it is easy to slack off, and he saw two people carrying a drunk man on the boat, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and register on the boat, don't be an eyesore here!" and pointed to the drunkard and said: "What are you carrying a dead man onto the boat?"

One of them replied: "He was drinking in my restaurant, and he told the little one to wait for the boat to come, and help carry him onto the boat, and if he misses the boat, he will not pay for the wine, and if he misses the boat, he will pay twice, and his body will be hung around his neck." He took off the drunkard's neck and showed it to the officials, and paid the fare.

The drunk man was still holding a wine jar in his hand, his body was emaciated, and there were some fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but he was still graceful, his hair was still black, and his sword eyebrows were still sharp, but he was drunk and slightly prodigal, and muttered: "That's right, take the money." Out of nowhere, he threw a small piece of silver to Xiao Er, Xiao Er took the silver and said happily: "Xie Ye, the little one is gone!"

The official glanced at his body and said angrily: "What are you going to go, if you don't carry it on the boat, won't you let the official collect his body!"

Xiao Er hurriedly carried the drunk man onto the boat again, and only after registering did he leave.

......

Wuji stood on the boat and said to Tian Buming: "Brother Tian, I have said goodbye, and my sister has asked Brother Tian to take care of it." He said to Wanjiao: "When I finish my business, I will rush back immediately, don't be too naughty, so as not to cause trouble to Tian Gongzi!"

Wanjiao stared at Wujiao and was silent, Tian Buming peeked sideways at Wanjiao, and smiled at Wujiao: "Definitely, definitely, Brother Li can rest assured!"

The anchor was retracted, the sails were one, and the sailors shook their oars on both sides and headed towards the center of the river.

The river bank gradually disappeared from view, and suddenly a strange laugh came, from a distance, a black figure, skimming the water, with a gust of wind, fell to the boat, fixed eyes, this person was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe, long and thin, half of his hair was tied up, half of it was scattered, his face was red and blue, and the other side was dead white, like a ghost, and his eyes were as yellow as an eagle.
