Chapter 152: On the way

The boat travels the rivers and waves, and the ancient journey is unimaginable hardship in modern times.

Ran Yan didn't often take boats before, but after a few days, she got used to the feeling of drifting on the boat, and occasionally went to the deck to see the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river. Ran Meiyu's situation is not so optimistic, she grew up by the water since she was a child, and taking a boat is naturally not a problem.

Ran Yan was also rare to be quiet, sitting on the deck and watching the scenery.

From Suzhou to Chang'an, it will take more than a month, and the toss is only halfway through, that is, even a person like Ran Yan who can endure his temperament is about to collapse, and he feels that the remaining ten days are so long and endless.

Ran Yan squinted his eyes, looked at the surging river, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah Yan can't stand it?" Even though Ran Yunsheng often travels back and forth from south to north, after more than ten days of torture, he is still a little haggard, but it actually adds a little more beauty to his already handsome face.

"It's just a little boring." At least some herbs can be planted on the Zhuangzi, research and dispensing, the medicinal materials that can be used on the ship are limited, and the road to Chang'an is far away, so you can use these, Ran Yan only picked some medicinal materials that are not commonly used to use. For example, hook kiss, aconite, fairy......

"Didn't you still have a lot of fun dispensing medicine a few days ago?" Ran Yunsheng sat down beside her, "Ah Yan is dispensing medicine?" ”

Ran Yan paused, and took out a vial from his sleeve, "This is colorless and odorless, soluble in water, and the most important thing is that after taking it, even if the corpse is dissected, it is not easy to be abnormal." ”

Many chemicals are colorless, odorless, and extremely toxic. The so-called "colorless and tasteless" poisons made of medicinal herbs are nothing more than reducing the degree of "color" and "taste", and each drug has its own specific smell because of the substances they contain, and if the smell is removed, it is very likely that their effects will be destroyed together.

"Ah Yan......" Ran Yunsheng stared at Ran Yan for a while, and concluded, "I'm afraid you're really stuffy." ”

Ran Yan swept the porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "Yes, otherwise I would have studied this kind of boring." ”

If she wants to kill someone, at the level of an autopsy in Datang, she has at least hundreds of ways to make people die without knowing it, where does she need colorless and odorless poison? It's too untechnical.

"If you are idle and have nothing to do, it is better to practice the flute, if you practice hard, even if you can't compare with Xiao Shilang in a month, it should be very bad." Ran Yunsheng bitterly persuaded Ran Yan to do something that the lady's family should do.

Ran Yan leaned on the back of the round-waisted bed, supported his head with his hand, and said slowly, "Brother Ten also thinks too highly of me, a month...... Even in a year, I can't reach the level of no. ”

"How can Ah Yan be so arrogant?" Ran Yunsheng still remembered that Ran Yan had learned guqin and zheng, and he was familiar with music theory, so it should be easy to learn.

Ran Yan said helplessly, "It's not arrogant, it's seeking truth from facts." Let's take a popular analogy, it is a martial artist who plays with a big knife and pinched the embroidery needle, even if it can be embroidered, but the posture is always not like it. ”

Evening Green snorted and laughed, and said, "The lady's analogy is good, isn't that what it is?"

"You blow it and listen to it." Ran Yunsheng will not have this effect.

Ran Yan didn't say much, he took out the long flute from his sleeve, sat up, put on a good posture, and was interrupted by Ran Yunsheng before he could start blowing, "It's okay to be straight, but your arm doesn't need to be so stiff, it's naturally good." ”

This is Ran Yan's most natural state. In addition to sleeping, eating, and going to the toilet, anyone will be able to hold a scalpel or write an autopsy report.

"Still don't blow it." Ran Yan put away the flute and asked instead, "Tenth brother, how long will it take to get to Chang'an?" ”

Ran Yunsheng saw that she really didn't want to continue, and he didn't force her, so he followed the topic, "There are about five days to get to Luoyang, and then we will switch to land, if it is fast, we can reach Xinfeng in the first day, and Xinfeng will not be far from Chang'an." ”

The road is not tortuous, but Ran Yan does not dare to be blindly optimistic.

Luoyang was called Yuzhou in ancient times, located in the original heart, close to the mountains and rivers, convenient transportation, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight.

Since the opening of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang has been in good weather, businessmen and scholars gathered, and its prosperity is not as good as Chang'an, but it is also a large state in the Tang Dynasty.

However, with the merchant ship, it was inconvenient to unload the goods at the wharf in Luoyang City, so they stopped at the wharf of a small town more than ten miles away from Luoyang to unload.

In the habit of wearing Huang, standing on the sturdy ground at first glance, Ran Yan was a little floating.

Because the merchant ship was about to unload, Ran Yunsheng asked Ran Pingyu to lead Ran Yan and Ran Meiyu to the restaurant to rest for a while, and then deal with the tedious things of unloading on the dock with a shopkeeper.

Ran Pingyu said that he would stay here for one night, if he was not tired, he could take a carriage to Luoyang City to have a look, but Ran Meiyu's whole body was already soft like noodles, and immediately said, "I won't go, if you talk about prosperity, how can Luoyang be compared to Chang'an, there are good-looking"

Ran Yan was naturally a little interested in a famous city like Luoyang, but he thought that there would be more than ten days to bump in the horse, so he dispelled his thoughts.

Anyway, Luoyang is here, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come and see it again, and you can't follow it.

After deciding on it, a few people had a hasty meal and went to the largest inn in the town to make up for sleep.

Ran Yan quickly fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and he was not as tired as he is now when he rushed to seven or eight places a week to conduct an autopsy.

When she fell asleep in a groggy state, Ran Yan had not yet collapsed, and Wanlu whispered in her ear, "Lady, lady?" ”

"Huh?" Ran Yan frowned slightly, and asked vaguely, "What's the matter?" ”

"Dr. Liu has come to see you." Evening Green said softly.

Ran Yan opened his eyes, sat up with the quilt in his arms, and slowed down for a while before asking, "Doctor Liu?" Which Dr. Lau? ”

Seeing that Ran Yan was gone, Wan Lu no longer restrained her voice, and replied with a smile, "The lady is sleeping, isn't there, which doctor can there be?" Naturally, it is the one from the Xiao family, Liu Qingsong and Dr. Liu. ”

"Liu Qingsong? Didn't he rush to Chang'an with Xiao Song, don't skip words. Ran Yan got down from the couch and washed his face with water in a wooden basin.

Evening Green quickly helped her wipe it up, and Gelan quickly helped her put on her clothes and comb a simple bun.

"It was said that Xiao Langjun was worried about the injury on your arm and was still seasick, and guessed that we would change our route in Luoyang, so he sent Dr. Liu to wait for you here." ”

Although Xiao Song was a little sour about Liu Qingsong and Ran Yan knowing the poem "Guan Shanyue" in his heart, he still trusted Liu Qingsong very much, so he did not shy away from sending Liu Qingsong to take care of Ran Yan's injury.

After a simple tidying up, Wanlu went to invite Liu Qingsong.

Ge Lan lowered the curtain in the room, and Ran Yan sat down on the mat outside the curtain.

But after a while, Liu Qingsong came in with a big thought on his back, still with a bamboo pole-like figure, but he looked like he had a lot of meat on his face, and it seemed that he was separated from Xiao Song, and his life was very nourishing.

"Lady's arm?" Liu Qingsong put down the box, took out a cushion from it, put it on the lid of the box, and sat on it.

"It's good." Ran Yan stroked his tightly wrapped arm and said, "It will be dismantled in more than ten days." ”

"That seems to be healing well." Liu Qingsong already felt that Xiao Song sent him to do it too much, but since he came, he couldn't do it, "Lang is in a hurry to return to Beijing to report on his work, otherwise he will definitely be the one he sees today." ”

Ran Yan nodded with a blank expression.

Liu Qingsong held his forehead, if he didn't care about men and women, Ran Yan's ability was undoubtedly admirable, but as far as the relationship between men and women was concerned, he couldn't figure out why Xiao Song would fall in love with this kind of woman who was not smiling and had no charm at all? Liu Qingsong likes all beauties, but as for Ran Yan, he looks like he only looks good.

After Xiao Song's business was finished in a few sentences, Liu Qingsong leaned forward and started the most enthusiastic gossip business, "You are very familiar with that Su Yaoshi, right?" No less words"

Ran Yan paused in her heart, and cast a puzzled look, she felt that Xiao Song would not be the kind of person who did not hide his mouth, but what about Liu Qingsong?

Liu Qingsong saw that she was puzzled, and couldn't help but say, "The ordinary tongue chewing root is called Sanba, and only thinking with high IQ is called gossip, I played with Lang in open crotch pants until I was big, he was temperament, I naturally guessed that the last time Su Yaoshi appeared in Yingmei Nunnery, it was not a secret thing, Lang can suppress this matter, it can be seen that he really puts you in his heart...... But ......"

Liu Qingsong leaned forward again, hooked his neck and asked in a low voice, "Actually, what you have in mind is Pharmacist Su, right?" No less words"

As soon as these words came out, Ran Yan and Evening Green Gelan all frowned, and Liu Qingsong coughed dryly and said, "Just don't say it." ”

Ran Yan has always talked little, Liu Qingsong, a person who can even think of gossip when he sees two ants crawling out of the nest one after another, can't dig anything interesting in her, and after asking for a long time, he gradually felt bored, so he picked up his big medicine box and said goodbye with three trembling steps.

Not long after he went out on his front foot, Wan Lu said, "Lady, this Dr. Liu's chatter is also extremely unruly. ”

"It's just a poor man." Ran Yan's calm and gentle voice came out of the house, and Liu Qingsong couldn't help but pause when he heard this.

I only heard her say again, "I don't want to face reality, so I imagine those stories all day long, thinking that I am just acting a story, and when I finish the performance, or wake up from a dream, I can return to the reality he wants to return......"

In fact, Ran Yan didn't think about it like this.

Evening Green and Gelan were confused, and two lines of tears on Liu Qingsong's face slipped down outside the house.

A word to wake up the dreamer, for more than ten years, Liu Qingsong from the initial freshness, to the later self-deception, he has never been awake, for a love family, and has a warm family Liu Qingsong, coming to Datang, is unacceptable to him.

This kind of loneliness and wandering in another world is not something that everyone can bear. Over the years, he has always seemed to be immersed in the story and can't extricate himself, just as Ran Yan said, he longs for the day when he can open his eyes and lie on the Simmons bed.

Liu Qingsong was desolate, and there was a loud bang in the front hall of the inn, which scared him into a spirit.

Ran Yan and the others in the house were also taken aback, and said in the evening, "Slave maid go and take a look." ”

Yes By].
