Volume 8 Jin Ge Iron Horse: Floating Light in Troubled Times Chapter 1 Floating Life and Leisure
Chapter 1: Floating Away
On a quiet and peaceful spring afternoon, the shadows of the sun shine through the gaps in the leaves, and the mountain breeze rustles through the branches, and the light and shadow on the ground dance rhythmically.
In a quiet bamboo house, Su Mi was sitting at the table leisurely, putting her finger on the wrist of a middle-aged woman with a plain dress and a round face and thin eyebrows, and after a while, she smiled and said: "Sister-in-law Pei is fine, it must have been a few days ago that she ate something that was too hot, so that her qi and blood were not smooth." I'll prescribe a few herbs to disinfect and remove fire. ”
After listening to Su Mi's words, the middle-aged woman put her mind at ease and even claimed: "That's good, that's good, I'm relieved." It's really thanks to the Gu family's sisters. ”
Then he complained about the culprit's husband, "I'll just say, the pheasant that was caught last time doesn't look like a chicken, how can there be a chicken of that color in the world?" The freshness of our house came up, let me clean up and put it in the pot, it tasted good, but now there is such a scourge, I knew that I would rather let it go, and it can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good. It's strange to say, but he is strong and has nothing to do, only my stomach hurts for several days, which is really sinful. She babbled.
Su Mi smiled and said: "It's not that the eldest brother of the Pei family is strong, it's just that because he is a man, eating these things that are extremely hot by nature does not hurt the body, but has the effect of strengthening the body. It is not good for blood, so there is some discomfort. ”
The sister-in-law of the Pei family was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and Fang smiled: "These words of you scholars are all crepe, I am a woman in a mountain village, and I can't understand anything, alas." It's still the people in your city who are amazing. Not only does he look good, but he also has great ability. Like the husband of your family, it looks like he is gentle and delicate, everyone thought that he must be a talented man who reads and writes poetry, who knows, followed everyone into the mountains and forests. Oh my God! That first day we caught more prey than we did in more than ten days......"
The northwest side of the capital city of Daqi is a continuous low mountain hill, and the place where Su Mi and Qi Hao are currently settled is a small village near the mountains here, which is almost a day's journey from the capital fast horse.
The village is located in the deep mountains and old forests, extremely hidden, and there are only a few dozen families in the whole village, the land is barren, and they usually rely on hunting in the mountains to make a living.
Although dozens of families live a hard life, they get along harmoniously. It's like a family. Because of poverty, except for the officials of the yamen who come to collect taxes every few days, ordinary relatives are rarely seen moving around, and they are almost isolated from the world. It is a monthly market where hunters go down to sell what they have brought and buy some daily necessities for their homes.
Although the news in the mountains is closed. But they also knew about the Liao army's breaking of the city, Qi Hao and Su Mi claimed to be people from the capital, because they traveled far away to visit relatives a few days ago, and they were not in the city when the city was broken, so they were fortunate to escape. Now I can't go back to my home, so I have to find a place to live in a nearby mountain village for the time being, and wait for the right time.
The villagers in the mountains are simple and enthusiastic, and Su Mi and Qi Hao are both fairy-like characters, which makes people feel close and envious in their lives. The two of them stayed here for the time being.
It's just that at this time, when she heard the sister-in-law of the Pei family keep saying "husband" and "lady", Su Mi was embarrassed. A blush unconsciously appeared on his face. I had to smile reluctantly: "Let Sister-in-law Pei laugh." ”
"Where is the laughter, it should be the knowledge. Such a skill, such a talent," the sister-in-law of the Pei family sighed: "To be honest, I have never seen a landmark character like you in my life, the sister of the Gu family, you are simply like a fairy in the sky, and only a talent like the Xianggong of your family can match you." ”
Su Mi smiled politely, she and Qi Hao were pretending to be husband and wife here, and she always felt embarrassed when she was mentioned like this.
Just as he was speaking, Su Mi had already picked up the brush and swayed it on the paper, and he had already finished writing the prescription in a few strokes.
At this time, if someone sees this prescription, I am afraid they will inevitably be surprised, on the prescription, what she wrote is not words, but several lifelike pictures.
Most of these hunters in the mountains are illiterate, Su Mi still remembers that when she first prescribed medicine to them, the old man who took the prescription even took the prescription, she immediately realized that this was inappropriate, and the civilians in the mountains and forests live in poverty and have inconvenient transportation, where can they go to the medicine shop under the mountain in time to grab medicine.
She had an idea, and she came up with the idea now.
The village is backed by a large mountain, and there are many natural medicinal herbs and plants in the mountain. So she simply sketched the appearance and characteristics of those medicinal herbs on paper, and then carefully explained the local environment where their medicinal herbs might grow, and let those Orion families follow the map. came and went, but the results were not small.
That day, when Qi Hao came back and saw her unique prescription, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Now doctors are as versatile as you, so you don't have to rely on collecting medicine to cure diseases for a living." ”
Her pen and ink skills are outstanding, and after a few strokes, all kinds of herbs are depicted vividly, and the elves are dialysis.
Su Mi picked up the paper, blew dry the ink, and handed it to Sister-in-law Pei.
The sister-in-law of the Pei family took it with great gratitude, and said, "It's really thanks to the sister of the Gu family." "On the other hand, he will take out the money.
Su Mi hurriedly stopped her, she and Qi Hao escaped this time, they were thoughtfully prepared, and there were naturally not a few silver tickets and gold on their bodies, which was enough for two people to live. These hunters in the mountains live a hard life, and the money is not easy to come by, and of course they can't ask for it anymore.
"I haven't thanked you for the work that Brother Pei helped us with last time, so I don't have to see you. What's more, I didn't provide medicinal materials, so I still had to rely on Brother Pei to go to the mountains and work hard. ”
Sister-in-law Pei saw that Su Mi was resolute, so she was no longer polite. Say goodbye and leave.
Seeing that there would be nothing more to do this afternoon, Su Mi stood up, bored, and simply walked to the back of the house to relax.
The two have lived in this mountain for more than two months, and now the north of Daqidi has already bloomed in spring and is full of life.
For the time being, they live in a bamboo hut located at the west end of the village. There are three small rooms and a small courtyard enclosed by a fence, although it is simple, it has a simple and elegant folk flavor.
Daqi has been fighting year after year over the years. There is a lot of conscription in various places, and the number of household registrations has decreased, such as this small village in the mountains, there are also several empty houses without owners, according to folk customs, such houses belong to the village, and the people in the village are quite generous. Anyway, it was empty, so I lent it to this newly arrived young couple.
Behind the house is a small bamboo forest, and further south is a small stream flowing down from the mountains, quiet and elegant, Su Mi likes it very much.
The afternoon sun shines through the foliage, and when you look up, the weather is wonderful, with deep and shallow white clouds piling up on the blue sky. The late spring sun is already shining brightly, but the mountain climate is still refreshing and comfortable. The occasional breeze blowing around you carries the unique quiet coolness of the mountains, which is refreshing.
The bamboo trees around the forest are all thick and green like flowing water, the blue grass under the feet is thick, and the stream that flows through the forest is like a jade bead, making a sound. Everywhere you look, there is a breezy and green scenery. No wonder the ancients often said, "The green bamboo by the stream is blue, and the autumn breeze under the pine is clear." ”
Compared to the landscape of the court, the natural growth of trees and streams is more vibrant and endearing.
Su Mi walked through the forest, and her mind couldn't help but fly to two months ago, when she first came here.
At the beginning, the two were helpless for the self-reliant life in the mountains, and Qi Haogui was the prince. It's always been a fine food and clothing. Although compared to those royal relatives who are vegetarian, His Royal Highness Prince Yu can be said to act independently. Versatile, but in these small things of life, he has always had someone else to serve him, and he has never done it himself. Su Mi is also a high-born nobleman, when he was in his father's house, his family took care of everything, and he never had the opportunity to live alone. It's okay to do some housework, but I don't have the experience of starting a business from scratch.
Especially, neither of them can cook!
So, at the beginning, life was a mess, and there were a lot of jokes. Fortunately, with the help of nearby villagers, I slowly got used to it.
Su Mi now can't help laughing whenever she thinks of the ugliness of the two at that time, and there is a sweetness in her heart.
Although even if the two of them don't do anything, they will not lack food and clothing, but it is also a kind of torture to be idle every day, and the two always have to find something to do.
After the days stabilized, Qi Hao began to follow everyone into the mountains to hunt.
After living for less than half a month, the grandson of an elder in the village fell ill suddenly, and it was midnight, and the whole village was helpless. The whole village immediately looked at the young couple differently, although before, Qi Hao's martial arts when he was hunting had already surprised them.
So, in his spare time, Su Mi opened a museum in the bamboo house to practice medicine, and the "husband and wife life" of the two was similar.
Su Midu walked to the edge of the stream, the clear water spread over the rocks, flowing west along the low terrain, and occasionally there were two petals floating on the water, drifting away along the current, adding a bit of dynamic beauty to the crystal clear stream.
Su Mi put her hand into the water, feeling the refreshing and pleasant pleasure brought by the current, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but float a happy and reassuring smile.
Naughty heart, seeing that there was no one on the left and right, he simply removed his shoes and socks, went down to the water, and let the clear water flow caress his delicate feet.
When she was tired of standing, she found a clean and smooth rock to sit down, took a deep breath of the refreshing air unique to the mountains, and closed her eyes comfortably......
No wonder the ancients often said that stealing is half a day's leisure.
was quietly enjoying the rare tranquility of this floating life, at this time, there was a sound of "fluttering" behind her, like a bird falling to the ground, interrupting her leisurely and peaceful dream.
Su Mi sighed softly, opened her eyes, and stood up.
In the past two months, if it weren't for this voice reminding her from time to time, this comfortable and leisurely day almost made Su Mi think that she had forgotten the time, her identity, and her past life, and she would have melted into the silent peace and tranquility of this flower.
After all, it's just a half-day of leisure.
She turned around and walked quickly into the bamboo forest, where a white carrier pigeon was staying at the back door of the bamboo hut, looking around, occasionally "cooing" twice and flapping its wings.
Su Mi picked it up, took out the secret letter attached to his feet, and unfolded it.
