Chapter 043: Xanadu

Yan Liwu's sudden attack did not hurt Wen Moqing, because of the timely dodge, only the sleeve was cut open, even so, Wen Moqing was still very surprised, especially after seeing Yan Liwu jump into the river and disappear.

"Sure enough, it's crazy, a woman who died." Looking at the river surface that gradually subsided, Wen Moqing held his forehead and smiled bitterly, "I'm not a Shura ghost, is it so terrifying?" Obviously I'm here to help, but it's ......."

Thinking that no matter how much he complained, the people who jumped into the river couldn't hear it, so Wen Moqing simply shut up and searched along the riverbank, but as he expected, he couldn't find any trace at all. The sound of chaotic horses' hooves came from far and near, and another group of people and horses also found the river, and jumped off the horse led by a person, and went straight to Wen Moqing.

"Where's Miss Yan?"

"Jumped into the river." Wen Moqing's face did not change and replied indifferently, "General Night, I am tired of borrowing some of my men and horses to search and search along the lower reaches of the river, this river is not in a hurry, and there is a great chance of finding it." ”

Wen Moqing's composure and calmness Ye Haochuan couldn't do it, looking at Wen Moqing's calm expression and dumbfounded: "Jump, jump into the river?!" Didn't the prince come to save her? How can you still ...... Really jumped into the river?! ”

"Could it be that I pushed it down?" Wen Moqing was a little helpless, turned around and stared at the calm river, her lazy expression suddenly retracted, "When I found her, I felt that she seemed to be a little unconscious, and she probably remembered the past and regarded me as a bad person." Don't look at how open-minded that woman is on the surface, but in fact, she is very thoughtful, and there are too many things hidden in her belly, probably the person I am most wary of until now. After a pause, Wen Moqing turned around and looked at Ye Haochuan again: "How is the night girl?" Let Bi Xiao know that if she is injured, she will definitely blame me for not acting in time. ”

Ye Haochuan shook his head: "Ling Xi is just a skin injury, don't worry." With so many people going around in circles in the open field, her physical strength was inevitably exhausted, so she fainted from exhaustion. But luckily she's smarter than I am, and if she hadn't tied a scarf to the haystack to show us the way, we wouldn't have found it so easily. ”

"If I knew this, it would have been better to let General Ye find it first, but now, it will take a lot of effort to find it."

The river behind him was calm, but Wen Moqing's heart couldn't keep it unfazed - the fight that came to find Yan Liwu made him realize that maybe he had predicted the situation too simply, and it was far more than the forces he guessed about his life or other things.

The calm river water is like Bai Lian spread on the vast field, twilight is coming, red and beautiful purple render Bai Lian, like a quiet picture scroll, the beauty is frightening.

This river is called Wulan River, the source is in Wanglan Mountain, the vast river surface is quiet and gentle, it does not freeze all year round, and it is the water source that hundreds of nearby villages rely on for survival. Among these villages, there is a small village deep in the mountain col, and there are only more than 100 residents in the village, all of whom are surnamed Gu, and this village is called Gujia Village without exception.

Gujia Village has a history of hundreds of years, it has always been peaceful and peaceful, united and harmonious, the people in the village usually go up to the mountains to hunt, go down to the river to fish, there is no gold and silver trading, all rely on barter, life is backward but idle and satisfied, and the contact with the outside world is not so frequent, so when a stranger appears in the village, the villagers of the whole village almost come to join in the fun.

"Don't be afraid, girl, they're all here to deliver food. You see, this is the grass cake made by Adu Niang, this is the salted meat pickled by Gugu, and this is the deer that Brother Liang brought from the mountains yesterday...... They are all well-intentioned, and don't be afraid, girl. ”

In the low mud house, a pleasant young man pushed a large number of baskets and baskets in front of the silent woman, and his honest smile was no different from that of the others.

"Ah Zai don't patronize and talk, the girl is injured, and the nong woman has medicine, wipe it off the girl!" The old woman, who seemed to be quite prestigious, pushed the young man, handed over a large jar of green and yellow medicinal oil, turned around and waved her hand to the villagers crowded at the door, "Scatter, scatter, let the girl rest, and put things outside!" ”

The strange local dialect sounded a little ridiculous, but it softened the expression of the woman on the couch.

These people all came with good intentions.

After the crowd dispersed, the young man touched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Can the girl rub the medicine herself?" If I can, I'll go outside and keep watch, and if you have something, you can call me. Oh, by the way, my name is Gu Lianshan, and the girl will call me Xiaoshan. ”

"Thank youβ€”I'm called Yan Lixi."

After speaking, Yan Liwu quietly looked at Gu Lianshan's expression, wondering if he had any feelings about the three words Yan Liwu, but fortunately, Gu Lianshan did not have any abnormal performance, it seemed that this was an ordinary name for him. Think about it, this is a backward village that is almost isolated from the world, and it is a remote northern frontier far from the imperial capital, how many people will care about the queen and the red face? For these simple villagers, the most important thing is to be fed and clothed every day.

After jumping into the river, Yan Liwu didn't know very well what happened, only that he was drifting far along the river until he was found by Gu Lianshan, who was fishing on the shore, and took him back to his village.

The villagers of Gujia Village are very kind and enthusiastic, and treat the "uninvited guests" with great kindness, from the ancestral trauma elixir to all kinds of mountain fowl and game, each family takes out the best things to entertain Yan Liwu, Gu Lianshan even gave up the only bed in the house, so that Yan Liwu slept a few long-lost good sleeps.

"Where is Miss Yan from? Will you be able to go back when you recover from your injuries? When giving Yan Liwu medicine, Gu Lianshan asked blankly.

"I'm from the imperial capital, so I guess it's a wandering." Yan Liwu held the broken bowl and smiled lightly, "Anyway, there are no other relatives at home, there is no point in not going back, if I can, I would rather stay here." ”

"Huh?! Are you sure? It's good that Miss Yan is willing to stay, there is no Langzhong in the village, and everyone can only endure a headache and brain fever, and there is a shortage of people like Miss Yan who understand medical skills. If Miss Yan likes it, I'll go and talk to everyone, let's get together to build a hut for Miss Yan, and in the future, Miss Yan will see a doctor for the people in the village, and we will be responsible for giving you game, firewood and rice, okay? ”

Looking at Gu Lianshan's happy expression, Yan Liwu couldn't help but nod slightly.

In fact, when she first woke up, she wanted to rush back to the border army camp, firstly, because she was worried about Ye Lingxi's situation, and secondly, she was afraid that Ye Lingxi and others would be anxious for her.

Thinking back to the scene before jumping into the river, Yan Liwu understood that he was wrong to blame Wen Moqing, if he wanted to kill her, why did he stand behind her and wait for a long time and talk a lot of nonsense? Besides, Wen Moqing is Bi Xiao's senior brother, and Bi Xiao and Ye Ling Xi are sworn sisters, so it is reasonable, Wen Moqing does not need to hurt Ye Ling Xi, as for the blood-stained scarf in his hand, maybe it was handed over to him by Ye Ling Xi. If this is the case, then Ye Lingxi should be fine, Wen Moqing is not here to kill her but to save her, the blame is only that she had a splitting headache and couldn't think at the time, and she did things impulsively from the bottom of her heart, and she actually refused the rescue and jumped into the river.

Probably this is called a mistake and providence.

The peaceful life of Gujia Village gradually dispelled the idea of going back, here is peaceful and quiet, there is no quarrel with the world, there are no people who dislike the Qinglian King, and there are no people who are interested in the government and politics, cleaning and cleaning the house every day, prescribing some simple local medicine for the people in the village to see the sick, although the life is a little harder, but it is unprecedentedly satisfied.

At the same time, there are some things that come to the door for granted.

Gu Lianshan, who had been busy all day building a house, came home at night, happily stuffed a few steaming roasted sweet potatoes to Yan Liwu, and mysteriously took out a small package from his back: "Brother Liang went out of the mountain to sell fur the day before yesterday, I asked him to bring some things back along the way, Miss Yan take a look, do you still like it?" ”

"What is it?" Yan Liwu curiously took the package and opened it, showing a gorgeous display in front of him.

Brand new dresses, scented rouge, and a cheap and rough hairpin, each of which is a gaudy to exaggerated color, can be seen in the eyes of the plain Yan Li, each of which is extremely exquisite.

"It cost a lot of silver, didn't it?"

"Not too much, I hunted a litter of lambs last month, and I sold a lot of money for the fur alone. Thinking about Miss Yan's ...... Such a good-looking and gentle person must have come from a big family, and it was really aggrieved to always let you wear the same coarse cloth clothes as us, so I asked Brother Liang to buy some rouge gouache and come back, and I don't know if Miss Yan can look at it. Gu Lianshan lowered his head and smirked, with a hint of apology in his tone, as if it was his sin to live a life of coarse tea and light food.

Yan Liwu chuckled, helpless, more moved.

"Don't be so wasteful in the future, I don't care about silk or coarse cloth clothes, and I don't have the habit of applying grease and powder, so it's enough to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"Oh." Gu Lianshan was a little disappointed, and inadvertently saw Yan Liwu pinning the hairpin on his head, and suddenly he was happy again, "Miss Yan looks better like this, everyone in the village says that you are like a fairy, no one has ever seen such a beautiful person as Miss Yan." ”

"If I were a fairy, how could I end up in the mortal world covered with scars? After all, it's just a homeless ordinary person, no different from you. Yan Li bowed his head, and a gentle smile flashed.

At that moment, it did not escape Gu Lianshan's eyes, and he was so close that he was dumbfounded.

Yan Liwu turned sideways to avoid her uncomfortable gaze, her smile froze, and she wanted to do something to cover up the embarrassment, but was stopped by Gu Lianshan.

"Yan, Yan, girl, I've been thinking about one thing for the past two days......" Gu Lianshan swallowed his saliva, nervously clutched his sleeves, and his face flushed for a while, "You said that you have no other relatives, that is, you are not married, right?" I think...... I want to ask, are you willing, willing to live with me for the rest of your life? I know I don't know anything, and I don't know everything like the people in the imperial capital, but I like you, not because you're good-lookingβ€”no, because you're good-looking...... Ah no, I mean I don't like you because of you...... I ......"

The more Gu Lianshan spoke, the more panicked he became, and in the end, he was simply incoherent, and he couldn't even figure out what to say.

However, what he meant, the words have been clearly understood.

Yan Liwu looked down at a coarse cloth shirt and seemed to be smiling, and his heart was empty and dazed.

She didn't have a heartfelt feeling for Gu Lianshan, she only knew that he was a gentle and good person, but she also understood that if she really chose to live in this indisputable mountain village, she really needed a reliable man who could rely on her, give her warmth, and let her slowly forget the wind and rain she had experienced.

She just wanted to have a home of her own.
