Young Master Yan glanced at Liu Man'er twice, picked up the porcelain white cup in his hand, and clinked glasses with her.

One is a big black bowl, the other is a small porcelain white cup, this scene, inexplicably a little joyful, everyone saw it, and they all laughed.

However, Young Master Yan is the master of the family and an elegant person, and they don't dare to say anything to this group of rough people, but they just joke with Liu Man'er: "Shopkeeper Ye, I think you should change the cup when you drink with our Young Master Yan." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Man'er echoed in unison.

After drinking some wine, not only did I warm my whole body, but I also felt that I became more arrogant and bolder.

So, Liu Man'er bought two more jars of wine and asked them to help pour them into the gourd, and she would take them on the road tomorrow.

Wine strengthens people's courage, otherwise she really doesn't know the next road, how to go.

After all, it still takes two days to get from Daqing Mansion to Xing'an City in Jiezhou, and if she doesn't find anyone on the road, then she has to sleep in the open.

If she sleeps in the open, what can she do if she hallucinates again? Drink some wine, you should be fine, and then add a little charcoal, so that the fire will burn more vigorously.

"Here, I'll give you another drink." Liu Man'er changed to a small cup that was the same as that of Young Master Yan, and when she toasted again, her temperament also changed, and she looked like a lady.

Picking up the bowl is like a chivalrous woman, and raising a glass is graceful and lovely, this is really a strange woman.

After thanking Young Master Yan, Liu Man'er drank a few bowls of wine with these merchants, and then said that she was going upstairs to rest.

Comfortably took a shower, changed into a set of clothes, and then lay down on the bed to rest, this way of eating and sleeping in the open is enough, fortunately this time accompanied by the caravan, the road is not lonely, with these businessmen to tell those strange things, it is also very interesting.

It's a special journey.

The next day, Liu Man'er packed her bags and prepared to set off, she had already come here, she naturally would not retreat again, but her heart was full of anticipation, presumably he would be happy to see him, right?

The caravan of the Yan family also went out of the city together, and when they arrived outside the city gate, it was time to break up, although Liu Man'er was a little reluctant, but she still waved her hand to them, and walked on another road quite proudly.

Unexpectedly, not long after departure, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, Liu Man'er looked behind, but it was Young Master Yan who caught up.

"Young Master Yan?" She was a little curious, "How do you go this way?" ”

"I'll give you a ride." Young Master Yan said very seriously: "I promised you last time. ”

"When did you promise to give me a ride?" Liu Man'er didn't think about it for a while, she was so frightened that day that she didn't hear his words at all.

"On that day, the day you saw the dead, didn't you say there were ghosts? There are still two days from here to Jiezhou, so I will simply send the Buddha to the west, and do good things to the end. Young Master Yan tightened the reins and rode his horse beside Liu Man'er.

"Thank you so much, will you be able to catch the caravan by then?" Someone accompanied, Liu Man'er naturally didn't twist and say no, but she was afraid of delaying the Yan family's affairs.

"It's okay, the caravan will stay in the capital for two days." Young Master Yan said, "I will come and go again, it won't be long." ”

"That's fine, if it delays your business, then there is no need, if it doesn't delay your business, it will trouble you." Liu Man'er said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have become a coward now, and when I see a dead person, I will hallucinate." ”

"Maybe it's not an illusion." Young Master Yan said: "I heard that there are frozen bones that will turn into frozen ghosts, this kind of ghost was a selfish person in his previous life, because he was frozen to death, he was unwilling, so he deceived some people on the road, wanting him to freeze to death like them, the fire you saw is actually a ghost fire, it will take away the temperature on your body, let you die in the cold night." ”

"Really?" Liu Man'er inexplicably felt a chill on her body.

"Fake." The corners of Young Master Yan's mouth hooked slightly, and he laughed, "I'm just teasing you, anyway, they all say that Shopkeeper Ye is a heroine among women." ”

"No, no, no, I really can't help but be scared." Liu Man'er said: "Especially what I saw that night was really similar to what you said, a family of four asked me to bake the fire, and then the merchant was also roasting the fire next to him, his body was shaking, and I also heard the man say that it was cold, and then a woman added some firewood, and you said that he died in the middle of the night, I really took it seriously." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if that's the case, then why didn't you go?" Young Master Yan said.

"I wanted to go too, but every time I went, my horses and Shuai Shuai kept screaming, and then I saw that there was no trace of fire in their eyes, and I shrank back." Liu Man'er still felt creepy as she spoke, "When I was in the carriage, they kept calling me." ”

The wind was very strong, Liu Man'er's words were intermittent, and Young Master Yan saw that her appearance didn't look like a lie, so he straightened up and comforted:

"In fact, there are ghosts, but the so-called ghosts exist in people's hearts, because you are traveling alone, you crave warmth, and the ghosts in your heart tempt you, but in the end you stick to your heart, and this ghost disappears. So the next time you encounter a ghost, it must be a time when you are alone and have a desire in your heart, as long as you are not tempted and insist on keeping your feet on the ground, nothing will happen. ”

Hold the grass, it makes sense.

Liu Man'er felt that she was convinced, indeed, everything was because of the desire in people's hearts, she was not controlled by desire, and the so-called ghost could not help her.

"Thank you, when I think about it like this, my heart suddenly feels steady." Liu Man'er replied sideways, and then asked, "Then why did that merchant die?" ”

"He just froze to death." Young Master Yan said: "The ghost in his heart seduced him, so he took the cold as warmth, when you saw him, he was actually already in his own hallucination, maybe what you saw was a fire, and what he saw was another paradise." ”

"Why is this happening? How can people hallucinate so easily? "Liu Man'er actually doesn't believe in Young Master Yan's words, how can people hallucinate so easily?

"How is it impossible, you drink too much, and sometimes you have hallucinations." Young Master Yan looked sideways at Liu Man'er.

Liu Man'er stopped talking, this is indeed the reason, but she always feels that this reason is a little unreliable.

"Actually, it's because there's a kind of grass nearby, right on the side of the road, it's called absinthe, and it gives people hallucinations." Seeing that Liu Man'er was not easy to fool, Young Master Yan finally told Liu Man'er the truth, and when he said this, he sighed, and his voice was inexplicably a little sad:

"In the past, when there was a drought or a flood, people in the neighborhood would go to the mountains to pick this kind of grass to eat, and use this grass and Guanyin soil, even though they ate the soil, they felt that they were eating a rare delicacy in the world."

After Liu Man'er heard Young Master Yan's words, she also sighed, and asked again, "Then what does this grass look like?" ”

"Teal, I'll show you when the time comes." Young Master Yan said.

"Okay." Liu Man'er didn't ask much.

If there is a kind of grass that can make people hallucinate, Liu Man'er definitely believes it, isn't the poppy in the previous life able to make people hallucinate? Anything that excites the nerves of the brain will cause people to hallucinate.

"Young Master Yan, you said that next time we pick some of this grass, and then add this grass to the food, wouldn't that be like a cloud of guests...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Liu Man'er made a little joke, but Young Master Yan took it seriously, and his voice became stern all of a sudden: "Shopkeeper Ye, don't say this kind of thing, this thing is forbidden by the imperial court, in the past, someone who used this wormwood to make pills was raided by the imperial court, if we find that our food has something, then the two of us will not be able to protect our heads!" ”

Liu Man'er can naturally know the harm of this kind of thing, in fact, these are also a kind of drugs, seeing that Young Master Yan is so serious, she apologized to Young Master Yan and said, "I'm sorry I said the wrong thing, I just said it." ”

"That's good." Young Master Yan was still pulling the reins and looking ahead.

After chatting for a while, I was quite happy, Young Master Yan deserved to be everyone's son, and he was a person who traveled from south to north, with a wide range of knowledge, Liu Man'er also felt that she had learned a lot of things, and she also knew a little more about this big beam.

I didn't find a post station at night, and the two of them could only sleep in the wilderness, but fortunately it didn't rain, chatting, Liu Man'er went to rest in the carriage, during the day, Young Master Yan told her about wormwood, and at night Liu Man'er was not afraid of anything dirty, and she had a rare good night's sleep.

The next day, we continued our journey, and in the afternoon, we arrived in Xing'an, which was in the province.

When they arrived in Xing'an, when the two of them found an inn, they saw that it was still early, so Young Master Yan accompanied Liu Man'er to inquire about the place where the army was stationed, and when he learned that he was going to the west thirty miles, Liu Man'er's face showed a smile, and finally arrived.

Young Master Yan had other things, after a night of rest in Jiezhou, he rushed back early the next morning, and told Liu Man'er to be more careful before leaving, and when he arrived at the city gate, Young Master Yan said goodbye to Liu Man'er.

He told her to rush to the Fulai Inn in Daqing Province in five days, saying that their caravan would be waiting for her there, and if she didn't see the caravan, he would let her wait there for two days, so that she would go back and go with her.

"Thank you so much for taking care of Young Master Yan all the way, the little woman is really grateful."

Liu Man'er was very moved, but she was just a business partner, she was so good to herself, and she was able to come to Xing'an Mansion smoothly this time, it was really thanks to Young Master Yan, but she was afraid that Young Master Yan would think of her, so she couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so good to me?" ”

"I respect you as a man." After Young Master Yan finished speaking, he opened the city gate, he waved his hand at Liu Man'er, turned his horse's head and walked outside the city.

Liu Man'er stayed in place, she was narcissistic.

But also, these ancients studied the books of sages hard, but they still had to be pure, there were many gentlemen, and they didn't have so many thoughts.
