Chapter 90: The Wind and the Moon (1)

Xi Chao smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you won't be used to eating the tea next to you, so I specially brought it." ”

Shen Wan smiled at him gratefully, and said, "Actually, these are not bad, I think that the days when I was in the prison cell were better than the food I ate at this time." As she spoke, she shook the custard bun in her hand, which was also brought by the court.

Xichao held Shen Wan's hand and said, "Ah Wan, don't worry, I will definitely let you live a good life in the future, and I won't let you suffer again." ”

Shen Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and took a bite of the bun, although it had been overnight, she still took a bite and ate it slowly with the freshly brewed tea.

Although there are good tea leaves, the water is ordinary water, not as good as the mountain spring water used in the palace, although the taste is a little worse, but in the face of the cherished dynasty, she also feels a little warm in her heart.

"How? How are you eating? Xi Chao asked with concern.

Shen Wan smiled and nodded, and said, "But cherish the dynasty, you were the prince before, and now you are the prince, I want you to accompany me to spend the days of wandering the world, don't you feel hard?"

Xi Chao shook his head and said, "How come, as long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter how hard the days are." What's more, I won't let you live a hard life either. He looked at the river and said, "Let's take the land route later, the river is too unsafe, there may be pursuers, and we will not be able to enter the gate of the southern country." ”

Shen Wan was shocked and asked, "What?" Do you want to go to the Southland? ”

Xi Chao said: "Well, the south and the north can be said to have well water that does not interfere with river water, and there is not even trade with each other. However, the northern country did not dare to easily cross the river to attack the south, first, the northerners were not familiar with the water, and second, they were also afraid that the southward march of the army would attract the western country to take advantage of the situation. Therefore, let's go to the south of the country, the only way. ”

"But ......"

Xi Chao patted the back of her hand and smiled: "Don't be afraid, with me, I have my own way, I found a way, I can reach the south without crossing the river, and then we will find a way to sneak into the city." ”

Shen Wan was still worried and said: "I naturally believe you, but after all, we northerners and southerners are different, what if we are recognized?" ”

Xi Chao said with a smile: "It's nothing, our northern country enters the customs, and the people who rule the southern country are the original people, but the southern royal family retreats to the south of the Yangtze River." Northerners and southerners also marry each other, and my mother is a southerner! ”

Shen Wan smiled: "No wonder you look so handsome." ”

Xi Chao also smiled: "Ah Wan, you are slender and weak!" As far as I know, the Prime Minister was originally from the South, and your mother is the young lady of the Langya Wang family, and the Langya Wang family has a great relationship with the royal family of the Southern Kingdom! ”

At the mention of her parents, the look on Shen Wan's face dimmed, and she hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this, just don't worry, we won't be discovered, as long as we can go to the south country." ”

Shen Wan nodded softly, and after the two of them ate something, they packed up and went on the road.

After walking for about half a month by land, I turned to a mountain, passed a stream in the mountain, went to the lake that went downstream, and walked a few days by water, and then I could reach Jiangnan.

After spending the night in the ancient temple in the mountains, Shen Wan woke up in the morning, but she couldn't find the court. She was now dressed in men's clothes, so she went to the temple to look for the court, and happened to meet the abbot who was doing the morning class.

When the abbot saw her, she bowed first, and then asked anxiously, "I wonder if the abbot has ever seen the friend who stayed with him last night and stayed in the next period?" ”

The abbot carefully examined her appearance, because it was late last night, so he did not see it really, but when he saw it today, he was immediately shocked, and immediately folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha...... The donor fruit is extraordinary! ”

Shen Wan was anxious to find the court, so she didn't ask much, but he didn't see it, so he wanted to look elsewhere, but when he left, he heard the little novice behind the abbot ask the abbot: "What did the master say just now?" ”

The abbot said: "The face of this benefactor is very popular, but it can prosper the country and determine the world!" Amitabha, the four kingdoms are expected to be one......"

Where can Shen Wan care about his nonsense, and finally found Xichao at the gate of the mountain, and said angrily: "Where have you been, I have been looking for you for a long time, and I have heard the abbot here talking nonsense." ”

Xi Chao smiled: "If the monks don't speak, how can they talk nonsense?" ”

Shen Wan pouted and looked very unhappy, touched her head dotingly, and said with a smile: "I went to see the terrain, and I can only use a bamboo raft to go down the river, so I went to ask the people in the mountains to buy a bamboo raft." Let's have breakfast, let's go down the mountain! You have to bring enough dry food, but you have to be on the water for the next few days. ”

Shen Wan smiled: "It's okay, the food in this temple is not bad, I have been more and more like a common person for more than half a month." ”

The two talked and laughed for a while, went to the temple for breakfast, gave some sesame oil money, and then set off again.

In the morning, the autumn frost began to fall, and the trees and mountain streams appeared cool and silent.

The two of them arrived at the source of the stream, where a bamboo raft was parked, the bamboo raft was made of turquoise pillars, but what was unusual was that there were bunches of white flowers on the raft, the flowers were as white as jade, each one was fresh and bright, and the flowers bloomed like a plate. I think it was not long after I picked it, and the petals were still rippling with crystal dewdrops, shining with colorful light under the sunlight.

Shen Wan looked at Xi Chao in surprise, and Xi Chao smiled: "There are such flowers in this mountain, I look very beautiful, and I don't seem to have seen it anywhere else, so I picked it off and knotted it on a bamboo raft. Awan, do you like it? ”

Shen Wan nodded and smiled: "I like it very much, thank you." ”

Xi Chao smiled at her again, he got on the bamboo raft first, and then helped her to stand up, untied the rope, supported the long artemisia, and the bamboo raft made a circle of ripples, and slowly went down the water.

Shen Wan looked at Xi Chao's appearance of holding the artemisia decently, and suddenly laughed out loud, squinted her eyes and said: "Like you, if you wear a hat and a hat, you will become more and more like a fisherman." ”

Xi Chao said with a smile while working hard: "Okay, I heard that there are many people in Jiangnan who make a living from fishing, and when we get there, we will go to the lake to find a property, and I will go out to fish, and you, just cook at home and wait for me to come back." ”

Shen Wan heard what he said, and she began to look forward to it, and followed his train of thought and said: "Okay, in the future, we will be fishermen and fisherwomen, I will build nets for you, when you go out to fish, I will grow vegetables at home, there is a large vegetable field behind our yard, planted with greens, spinach, and leeks." Raise a few chickens and a dog to guard the door. Hehe......"

Xi Chao imagined such a scene, and the smile on his face became sweeter and sweeter, but he suddenly asked with a straight face: "Ah Wan, do you know how to grow vegetables?" And what about cooking? ”
