On two sunny days in a row, the snow in the mountains and forests has decreased a lot, but the wind is still cold, and the chill and dampness go straight to the neck.

Shu Yu was afraid of the cold, with a leather jacket, a fur hat, leather gloves, a fur scarf and small leather boots, fully armed, but he didn't wrap himself into a brown bear, only revealing a pair of black and white apricot eyes, and rode a horse to accompany Han Yan down the mountain to buy paper and pencils.

On the other hand, Han Yan's dark fur coat was clean and neat, and the whole person looked more and more handsome and straight, just like the green pine standing among the snow, solemn and high-spirited.

The two walked side by side, unhurried down the mountain.

Badger Mountain is about an hour away from Xiushui Hezi Town, and because of the snow and slippery road, the two people did not dare to gallop on their horses, and when they got to the town, it was already a warm day, almost noon.

There is a tall archway standing at the entrance of the town, all of them are built with straight cedar wood, although there is no color painting, but it is more and more simple and tall, a plaque is hung on it, the words "Xiushui Hezi Town" on it are fresh and eye-catching, obviously it has just been described.

The snow on the streets has long been swept away, and the stone-paved streets are clean and tidy.

Shu Yu took a long breath, took off the fur scarf around his neck, tied it on his arm at will, and said with a smile in front of his fingers: "Brother Han, the shop selling paper and pencils is on North Street, and it will be a few steps away." ”

Han Yan nodded, turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to Hanmo Zhai with Shu Yu.

Although Xiushui Hezi Town does not meet the market today, but because it is close to the end of the year, the pedestrians on the street who buy New Year's goods are still bustling, and the small vendors who set up stalls along the street are shouting loudly, and the merchants are also opening their doors to warmly welcome the guests who are talking and laughing and picking up.

Different from the silence of the mountains and forests, the bustle and noise of the world came all at once, and Han Yan had a moment of swaying in it.

Since he fled with Xiao Wangyi, who was desperately protected by his eldest sister, he has always chosen secluded paths to walk, sometimes walking through the wilderness for several days without seeing people, and in addition to worrying and anger, only the deep loneliness and desolation remained.

At this time, the noise and peacefulness of Xiushui Hezi Town made him seem to return to the time before the turmoil in his previous life, the time of the wanton life of fighting horses and running dogs and fighting cocks.

For a moment, my heart was shaken, and I was lost.

"Brother Han, Han Mo Zhai has arrived!" A crisp voice rang in my ears.

Han Yan woke up suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw a bustling store with three big characters on the plaque of "Han Mo Zhai", which were strong and powerful, and the pillars on both sides were written with "Look at the window, all the four treasures of the study" and "Xinghuai is elegant, and make friends with Confucianism", highlighting the difference between this place and other places.

Seeing that Shu Yu had already tied the horse to the stone pier at the door, and was asking Xiao Er at the door to help watch, Han Yan also hurriedly tied the horse to the stone pier on the other side and walked into the store with Shu Yu.

The crowds of people in the store are surging and clamoring, but they are not buying pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but scrambling to select the Spring Festival couplets spread out on the counter.

The shopkeeper collected the money and took notes, and sang on the other hand: "'Spring is coming to the earth with a hundred flowers, and the festival is new to the world'...... two pairs of ...... and 'everything is good and auspicious, and the family is happy and healthy'."

Every time a couplet was sung, Xiao Er handed it to the guests one by one according to the instructions.

There is also a wide table on one side of the store, on which the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are neatly arranged.

An old man with gray hair sat behind the table, holding a collection of Spring Festival couplets in his hand, writing for the guests in need.

The room was crowded with guests so crowded that it was barely enough to get off their feet.

Shu Yu looked left and right, and finally caught a little second who had just been free, and said with a crisp smile: "Little second brother, please take a set of four treasures from the study." ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and immediately enthusiastically sold: "The girl wants to buy it back to write Spring Festival couplets?" Don't be that much trouble! If there is no hearty Spring Festival couplets on the counter, you can ask Mr. Tan to write them on the spot! Mr. Tan is the only talent in our Xiushui Hezi Town, and he is deeply educated......"

Xiao Er was enthusiastic and gushing.

"Not really!" Shu Yu interrupted Xiao Er's words with a smile, pointed to Han Yan beside him, and said, "It's usually calligraphy and painting!" ”

Xiao Er glanced Han Yan up and down a few times, and saw that although the young man in front of him was dressed as a hunter, he had an elegant and polite temperament, and at first glance he was a person who had drunk ink, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone you need?" We have wolf hair, sheep hair, and pen ...... in our store."

Shu Yu didn't answer, and looked at Han Yan for inquiry.

Although she also wrote and read in her previous life, she mostly used a hard pen, or typed directly with a computer and mobile phone, and she didn't know much about brushes, and she didn't know Han Yan's habits of calligraphy and painting, so of course it was not good to make decisions rashly.

"Just write both." Han Yan smiled, "The rest don't need to be too expensive, just be able to write." ”

It's just to keep an account, and you can still buy lake pens, rice paper, inkstones, pine and smoke?

Shu Yu didn't say much, just nodded with a smile at Xiao Er, and said, "Just listen to him." ”

She just wants to get rid of the state of "pretending to be illiterate" by an excuse, and things are not restricted.

Xiao Er nodded self-righteously and said with a smile: "Please wait a while, and the little one will go and get it." ”

These hunters in the mountains can't earn a lot of money all year round, and it is a good life to be able to burn money like reading and learning calligraphy, but where is there so much poverty.

Not long after, Xiao Er brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

After Shu Yu checked, he went to the counter to pay the money, and went out with Han Yan to lead the horse.

I didn't go far when I heard a familiar voice behind me: "Tiger girl? ”

The tail note is upturned, obviously not very convinced.

Shu Yu paused, the corners of his mouth twitched, and even though he strode away, he continued to walk forward without looking back.

Bai Qi, this kid did it on purpose, right?

Didn't she announce it in public at the last time she had a drink, she had been given her name by Han Yan and officially changed her name to "Shu Yu"!

At that time, someone mentioned "Bai Ying", compared with the two, he couldn't compare to Han Yan because of his name, he was ashamed and embarrassed, angry and helpless, and praised a "good" casually!

When you turn around, you even use her name to fight with Han Yan?

She's really a clay man and has no temper!

Han Yan saw the change in Shu Yu's expression in his eyes, and also heard the shout of Bai Qi behind him, but he didn't ask more, let alone stop to respond, and silently followed a few steps.

Bai Qi was just going out to run errands for the master, but he happened to see a familiar figure coming out of Han Mo Zhai, and before he could see it clearly, he had already subconsciously shouted out.

The people on the street came and went, and it was a little far away, and the white Qi under Shu Yu's feet had not been seen.

But when he saw the surging speed of his body, which was agile and agile, and was like a shrewd hare shuttling through the woods in the crowd, he was instantly convinced.

"Tiger girl! It's me, it's me! Bai Qi—"

Bai Qi waved his arms and jumped up to his feet and shouted, while chasing after him left and right in the crowd.
