The atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly became tense.

Not only did the surrounding guards all draw their swords out of their sheaths, but even the guards and coachmen who had driven the carriage to the hut in front of them to take shelter from the rain also ran back, drawing their swords one by one, only listening to a few dragon groans in the firmament, countless swords out of their sheaths, and the sharp blades were washed by the rain, and the cold was more and more exposed.

A soaring murderous aura permeated the surroundings of the pavilion.

Li'er buried her face in my dress all of a sudden.

As soon as I saw that the situation was not right, I hurriedly stepped forward: "Stop!" ”

Of course, Wen Fengxi's people are not under my control, but they are also protecting me into the river, as soon as they heard me speak, they didn't make any more movements, only held the handle of the knife and stared at those people, waiting for an opportunity to move; It was the guards, they looked left and right, should have estimated the number of people on both sides, although their car was large, but the number of people was still not as good as this side, if you want to do it, there must be no chance of winning, after all, you still slowly retracted the knife from the scabbard.

Actually, it is not a big deal for me to follow all the way back to Chengdu, and I can't do it at all, although there are more people and horses on Liu Qinghan's side, of course I don't suffer a loss when I fight, but this is Xichuan, which is Yan Qingchen's territory, and it is impossible to say what I really want to lose.

Thinking of this, I said to those people: "Go back and tell Yan Qingchen, I will definitely enter Chengdu, let him not do more." ”

The men looked at each other and did not speak.

"And sue him, it's better not to make me angry when I'm in Xichuan, understand?"

“……”

The men were silent for a moment, and they all said to me respectfully, "The eldest lady is frightened. ”

"Let's go."

They looked at me again, and at the fierce guards around them, and finally they didn't say anything more, but saluted me, and reflexively went back to their horses.

This time, I was a little surprised.

Since I entered Sichuan with Pei Yuanxiu before, I have always fallen behind Yan Qingchen, it can be said that he has thousands of ways to make people obedient and compromise, but I really didn't expect that this time, his people would be so obedient.

Somehow, something seems to be wrong.

Thinking so, I frowned slightly, and watched as the men rode forward again, and the huge carriage swayed slightly, the wheels ran over the puddles on the ground, and the muddy water almost hit the corners of my skirt, and slowly drove forward.

At this moment, I felt the weight of my skirt, and when I looked down, it was Li'er who kept holding the corner of my skirt and staring at the delicate carriage with wide eyes. I thought she was frightened by the tense atmosphere just now, so I stroked the top of her head: "Li'er ......"

She looked up at me, her eyes widened: "Mother, that carriage-"

"Carriage? What happened to the carriage? ”

"That carriage—" she stammered, "there's a man in that carriage watching us!" ”

“……！”

My heart pounded: "What? ”

Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi, who were next to them, were also shocked when they heard this: "In the carriage? ”

"Hmm." Li'er nodded: "I saw that behind that curtain, there was a person, watching us." ”

I was speechless in astonishment, and hurriedly turned my head to see that the convoy was not moving fast, but it had already turned the bend in front of me, leaving only a hurried back for us.

Someone in the carriage is watching us? Could it be - Yan Qingchen?

However, if it were him, how could he not get out of the car to meet me, but only sent these guards up, and asked me in vain.

Could it be that the person in the car is not Yan Qingchen?

If it's not him, who is it?

Suddenly, my brows tightened, and Liu Qinghan seemed to feel a little strange, and walked up to me: "What's the matter?" Are they all from the Yan family? ”

"I, I don't know."

While thinking about it distraughtly, but I couldn't solve anything, I only shook my head gently, Liu Qinghan looked at me, and then at Li'er, and comforted softly: "It's okay." Along the way, let's be careful. ”

I looked at him and nodded.

After the rain stopped, we hurried forward again, but we couldn't catch up with the previous team, but because the road conditions were not good, we didn't go fast, and it rained soon after noon, so we were delayed and could only stay in Changfeng Town.

A group of people found an inn to go into the rain to shelter, after a while the rain stopped, but the sun also began to set westward, although the time is a little early, it is not time to rest, but if you want to continue walking, I am afraid that it will be dark and will not be able to catch up with Chengdu.

Wen Fengxi walked to the door to look at the good sky after the rain outside, and looked back at Liu Qinghan: "Do you want to leave?" ”

I looked at him too.

He also looked up at the sky, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard Li'er's voice from upstairs: "Third uncle, guess where I am." ”

He laughed, only looked at us, then got up and walked upstairs, and after a while, there was a giggling voice from Li'er: "Third uncle is cheating, don't tickle!" ”

Wen Fengxi and I glanced at each other and smiled, and he simply ordered his entourage to settle down for the night.

I didn't have anything to do, I still sat and drank tea, I heard a big and a small laughing upstairs for a long time, Liu Qinghan hugged her down, Li'er smiled and blushed, playing with a sweat, I took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and smiled while wiping: "Don't make trouble with your third uncle anymore, be quiet for a while." ”

She blinked, didn't speak, and sat down beside me.

After Wen Fengxi finished telling the matter, he also sat down, and the store immediately sent refreshments, and we sat and drank tea while chatting.

After the rain, the outside was lively again, and the small vendors along the street began to set up stalls and shout again, along with some snack shops, and there was a burst of tempting smell of fresh and sour and spicy outside.

Li'er couldn't sit still again, looked at me, and looked at Liu Qinghan, but she seemed to remember what I had just told her to tell her not to make trouble with Liu Qinghan, and she held back for a while, and suddenly, her eyes rolled and she said to Liu Qinghan: "Third uncle." ”

"Huh?"

"I'll go out with you."

“……”

Everyone at the table fell silent, and I looked at my daughter with a smile: "You repeat, who accompanies whom?" ”

"Hee-hee."

She smiled like a liar, got up and slipped to Liu Qinghan's side to pull the corner of his clothes, Liu Qinghan also laughed, and reached out to hold her little hand: "Okay, you go shopping with the third uncle." ”

Li'er followed him out with a smile, and then turned back and stretched out her hand to me: "Mother is here too." ”

I also got up with a smile, just walked over, saw them holding small hands so big, paused, and smiled: "Mother just follow you." You, just 'accompany' your third uncle to have a good time. ”

When Li'er heard this, he immediately giggled, and simply led Liu Qinghan and ran up.

The abundance and wealth of Shu not only shows the abundant family resources of the Yan family, but also the prosperity of the entire Xichuan, even such a small town has such a lively market, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and people come and go on the street, which is very lively.

After the rain, the streets are also washed clean, and the dusty bluestone slabs are cool, and there is a refreshing feeling when walking on them.

We walked all the way, looking at the prosperous scene on both sides, Li'er was still pestering me to buy her a string of sugar gourds, and was eating happily, when suddenly I heard a unique singing voice in front of us, mixed with a lot of crisp laughter.

As soon as Li'er heard it, he was very interested, and hurriedly pulled us to run forward two steps, and saw the Qingling River in front of him, traversing the entire Changfeng Town, there are many big girls and little daughters-in-law cleaning brocade by the river, and a round lotus-like jade arm holding the colorful satin stretches in the clear river water, with a silver bell-like laughter, the whole river seems to be dyed in color.

When Liu Qinghan saw this scene, he bent down with a smile and said to Li'er: "Li'er, do you remember the poem we memorized together that day?" ”

Li'er stuffed two rock sugar hawthorns in her mouth, and when she heard what he said, she immediately nodded: "Remember." ”

After speaking, she swallowed it and said: "The flowers on both sides of the Jinjiang River, the spring breeze is blowing the sand." The girl cuts the mandarin duck brocade and will be in the middle of the sunset. ”

Liu Qinghan recited silently with her, and then the two of them high-fived.

I looked at the two of them with a smile and said to Liu Qinghan, "You still teach her to read poetry?" ”

"Let's learn together." He smiled: "Li'er has a much better memory than me, I have to remember it for a long time, and she will remember it after reading it two or three times." ”

When Li'er heard him praise himself like this, he immediately laughed proudly.

I smiled too, stroking her fleshy little face.

Liu Qinghan straightened up, looked at the moving scenery by the river, and said with a smile: "But seriously, this poem is really at the right time." I used to read it, but now I know that Xichuan is called the 'daughter country', which really makes sense. ”

That's true.

There are people coming and going on the street, but there are not many men, most of them are beautiful women, swallows are thin and fat, all of them have them; And because of the warm climate in Shudi, the woman's skin is delicate and tender, and the white and red skin and delicate eyebrows are beautiful.

I looked at him and said, "Don't you feel sorry for you?" ”

"Sorry? What to regret? ”

I smiled faintly: "The engagement is early." ”

It took him a while to come back to his senses, look at me, and cough a little embarrassedly, "Madame...... Don't make fun of it. If this word is to be spread to the palace, it will be difficult for this house to do. ”

Seeing his embarrassed expression, even his face turned a little red, I smiled, but there was no smile in my eyes, and I didn't put the joke on again.

Li'er took the two of us by the hand, looking left and right.

The three of them continued to walk forward, and they didn't speak again, but they weren't embarrassed, after all, there was a girl who left the girl, and after walking for a while, she suddenly stopped moving, staring at a cold food stall on the side of the road, pulling Liu Qinghan's hand, and pulling the corner of my clothes.

Liu Qinghan laughed when he saw her greedy cat, and simply beckoned me to come over, and the three of them sat down, and one of them asked for a bowl of cold noodles.

The thing is sent, a bowl of white and tender cold powder is cut finely and evenly, neatly stacked in the bowl, the toppings on the top have red fresh peppers, green onions, white refined sugar powder, and fried brown and fragrant bean foam, the soy sauce, dripping vinegar mixed and eaten, the taste is sour and spicy, very delicious.

I haven't been back to Sichuan for many years, and I rarely have eaten such a taste of my hometown, so I simply feasted, but just after a few bites, I heard the sound of people on the other side pumping cold air.

When he looked up, Liu Qinghan's eyes were red.

"What's wrong?"

"I ......"

The next moment, he was already in tears and snot, choking and coughing, and the tips of his ears were red. While taking out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, he kept waving at the store, but he couldn't say a word. Li'er was at a loss, still chewing cold powder in his mouth and looking at him with wide eyes, when I saw this, I hurriedly called the store: "Bring cold water." ”

The shopkeeper also hurriedly sent a glass of cold water, and saw him rinsing it in a big gulp, and it was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue, and said with a smile: "Ouch, this minister, you can't eat this spicy." ”

"I-......ahh

Speechless, he poured another glass of water.

Seeing his wolf bèi and painful appearance, I couldn't help but laugh.

Although Li'er has never been to Shudi, he lived with me in Jixiang Village for a year before, and the taste is also with me, you can eat some spicy, but it is cold...... I still remember when he took me to Pei Yuanhao's banquet, it was so spicy that he burst into tears, but I didn't expect that after so many years, there was no growth at all.

After laughing, I felt a little sour in my heart.

But Li'er, swallowed a mouthful of hot and sour cold powder, and calmly: "It's really useless." ”

The shopkeeper picked up the apron and wiped his hands, and said with a smile: "Yes, little girls can eat it." This husband, you are not as good as your daughter. ”

As soon as these words came out, both of us were stunned for a moment.

"It's not—"

"We—"

He and I opened our mouths to explain at the same time, but before the words could be spoken, we saw a person walk up to us, looking down at us with a smile: "Qingying, Lord Liu." ”

As soon as I heard this voice, I looked up and met a pair of gentle, smiling eyes: "What are you talking about, so lively." ”

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Pei Yuanxiu.

I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up: "Yuan Xiu? What are you doing here? ”

He was wearing a gorgeous white robe, and his appearance in such an ordinary town gave people a rather abrupt feeling, especially when he suddenly appeared in front of us, I couldn't even get back to my senses.

"I'll pick you up—"

As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at Li'er: "Li'er, you're finally back." ”

Li'er still had a big mouthful of cold powder in his mouth, and he forgot to chew or swallow it at this time, and looked at him stupidly, as if he was unconscious.

Pei Yuanxiu stretched out his hand and stroked the top of her head: "What's wrong?" Seeing that Daddy can't speak? ”

“……”

"Li'er?"

“……”

Li'er's little face was red and white for a while, shocked, frightened, uneasy, and hesitant...... All kinds of expressions flashed, and I immediately thought of the reason why she ran away, and seeing Pei Yuanxiu again would inevitably remind her of the memories of that night, although I had talked to her so heart-to-heart before, but after all, she was still young, and she might not be able to forget those things so quickly.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu squatted down and looked at her: "Don't you want to see Daddy?" ”

Li'er swallowed the contents of his mouth with a grunt, looked at Pei Yuanxiu's eyes, shook his head gently, and said thinly: "No." ”

"And what's wrong with you?"

“……”

Li'er looked at him with wide eyes with some grievances, looked at me again, and when he was finally gently hugged into his arms by Pei Yuanxiu, he also reached out and hugged his neck: "Daddy......"

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Yuanxiu gently picked her up and stroked her hair like a cat, then turned his head to look at Liu Qinghan on the side: "This time, I'm tired of Lord Liu, so I sent Li'er from so far away." ”

Liu Qinghan has been standing silently watching our "family reunion", at this time he wiped his nose with a handkerchief, arched his hand at him, and said, "Childe is serious." ”

At this time, I noticed that Pei Yuanxiu was still followed by a group of people, including the team that greeted us on the dock before, and he also understood what was going on. Pei Yuanxiu looked at me with a smile: "Where do you stay?" Let's take a break tonight and head into the city tomorrow. ”

"Okay."
