Chapter 148: Behind Lianqiao Village
Early in the morning, the fog is hazy.
The sunlight shines through the mist on Yueqi Lake, reflecting the figure of a fisherman who gets up early to cast nets.
On the lake, Shen Guo looked at the shore from afar, and the scene was very beautiful at the moment.
Su Yao held Shen Jing's arm and pillowed on his shoulder, leaning on it all night.
Shen knew that Su Yao had only fallen asleep in the morning, and it had been less than half an hour now. He himself was not sleepy, but he was more and more awake when the sun rose.
After more than half an hour, Su Yao woke up quietly.
The mist on the lake gradually lifted, and the sky was bright.
Su Yao straightened up and let go of the hand holding Shen Jing, who looked at her and said leisurely, "Wake up." ”
Su Yao nodded and asked, "Didn't you sleep?" ”
Shen Jing smiled and said, "There are a lot of things to think about, and I can't sleep." ”
Su Yao didn't ask what the matter was, but said, "Did you figure it out?" ”
Shen Guo smiled: "It's just something that has no answer, and I simply don't think about it if I can't figure it out." ”
The two then stood up.
Shen Kuang stretched his waist a lot, and then shouted at the lake, Shen Kuang seemed to shout out all the unhappiness in his heart, so this sound was extremely loud, fortunately, there was no one around at the moment, and he would not disturb others.
The scenery on the lake is good, and this call adds to the spirit.
Shen Jing's shout also woke up Da Hei and Feixue, and Da Hei hissed dissatisfiedly, but he also seemed to feel the depression in his master's heart, so the protest was not loud.
Horses are psychic, especially Big Black and Flying Snow.
After shouting, Shen Jing squatted on the shore and picked up a handful of lake water and washed his face indiscriminately, and Su Yao also followed Shen Jing's appearance and washed it when he saw this.
The water of the lake is slightly cool, and I am sober.
Shen Guo stood on the shore, the water on his face had not dried, he looked at the sparkling lake and sighed: "I forgot to fish last night, but it's a pity that this is a good lake, otherwise we would have fish soup to drink." ”
After speaking, he glanced back at Su Yao.
Su Yao also looked at him and smiled: "It's not too late for you to fish now, you can save it for lunch." ”
Hearing Su Yao's seriousness, Shen Jing smiled and said, "It's important to hurry, it's too late to do such a small thing next time." ”
It's just a small thing, and it's too late to do it at any time.
After a brief wash, the two of them hurried again, and the two turned on their horses and went far east.
When passing by Yunsha Village, Shen Kuang first saw the little girl Zhong Yu, she saw the two of them passing by on horseback, waving her hand from afar, in fact, she was saying goodbye to Su Yao, and Shen Kuang was cheeky and waved her hand.
After that, Shen Jing saw Wei Xiuge who got up early to practice swords.
Wei Xiuge's fierce sword intent did not restrain in the slightest, and he seemed to want to cut off all his troubles with sword intent.
When Wei Xiuge saw Shen from a distance, he stopped his sword and stood up, and shouted Brother Jiang to take care. The friends in the rivers and lakes who met in Pingshui, Shen Guan thought it was interesting and replied, wishing Brother Wei to achieve his wish as soon as possible.
In the future, the two of them are about to pass through a small town called Turning Ink, and then all the way back until Kangzhu City, which is adjacent to the Yangtze River, there are no more towns.
Shen Kuang and Su Yao set off from Yunsha Village early in the morning, and hurried until noon Kankan arrived outside Turning Mo Town.
Although the town is not big, it is the only town in the surrounding hundreds of miles, so there are many people coming and going. Shen Kuang and Su Yao only paused for a moment in the sparsely populated place outside the town, replenished some water and dry food, and listened to some rumors in the roadside wine shop before continuing to hurry.
The whereabouts of the two are hidden, and they have escaped the eyes of many spies.
However, for those who have been waiting for the rabbit in Flip Town for a long time, the traces of the two are still visible.
It's just a strange thing, those people seem to have taken the initiative to make an appointment, no one takes the initiative to follow, and no one startles the snake, their purpose seems to be just to know that the two of them have arrived in Flip Ink Town.
Of course, the traces of those spies did not escape Shen Jing's attention, so after the two continued on the road, Shen Jing kept paying attention to the movement behind him. It's just that what makes him strange is that until this evening, the people who appeared in Flip Ink Town still didn't move, as if they were just to know that he had appeared, and they didn't mean to hunt him down at all.
Shen felt strange, so he didn't rush anymore.
It was another evening, the setting sun was shining on the forest path, and the two people who came from afar led their horses slowly.
These days, I've been able to stop and hang out a lot more often when I'm in a hurry.
Su Yao became more and more silent along the way, and after the two of them led the horse along the ancient road for a while, Shen Jing finally asked uneasily, "What's wrong, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Hearing this, Su Yao turned her head and looked at Shen Jing, a smile appeared on her face, she seemed to be relaxed and seemed to be fine, she said slowly: "It's nothing, it's just uncertain." ”
Shen Guo didn't ask any questions when he heard this.
The two walked like this for a while, and Su Yao shouted Shen Jing's name, only two words.
"Shen Jing."
Shen Guan looked at Su Yao and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Yao seemed to be a little entangled, and even her pace was much slower, she hesitated for a long time, and Shen Jing waited patiently.
After a long time, Su Yao changed her words and said with a smile: "What do we eat at night?" ”
Shen Guo knew that Su Yao had something on her mind, but she didn't want to say that Shen Guo didn't ask more.
After Su Yao finished laughing, Shen Jing also smiled: "We still eat dry food at night, if we are lucky enough to encounter streams and lakes, maybe we can catch a few fish, do we miss Shen Daxia's craftsmanship?" ”
Su Yao glanced at Shen Jing and gave him a familiar white eye, but this time it was not a blow but an encouragement: "Shen Daxia's skills are not bad, the braised pork and fish soup are so-so, and I have a very good appetite for Su Nuxia." ”
After Su Yao finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, as for those strange eyeliner spies, they had already been thrown out of the clouds by the two.
The two of them continued to lead their horses on their way, and luckily came across a large cave, and there was a long waterfall not far from the cave. Under the waterfall is a pool of alluvial water, the pool is not shallow, and under the clear water surface is a cheerful swimming fish, all fat and strong are very suitable for grilling and eating.
Shen Guo stood on the edge of the waterhole and looked at the swimming fish inside, as if he had seen an exquisite feast of grilled fish.
Shen did not delay, took out the hook and fishing line on the spot, did not even use the fishing rod, and just fished straight away.
The swimming fish in the pool may have never seen outsiders, so Shen Jing caught it very smoothly, and he caught two fish of about three catties in a short time. If you have Shen in dinner, you will also collect the hook and line, and if you have enough to eat, you don't need to kill it anymore, and leave it for those who pass by here later.
The night gradually shrouded in stars, and the night sky was covered with stars.
Outside the cave, the sound of frogs and insects chirped one after another, and the two big fish on the bonfire shelf in the cave were roasted and oily, and the burnt fragrance was overflowing.
"Come, try Shen Daxia's craftsmanship." Shen Guo smiled and handed a grilled fish to Su Yao.
Su Yao took it and ate without saying a word.
Except for the disadvantages of salt, you don't have to pick the taste of grilled fish.
Autumn falls in the city.
Dugu Nanqiao still knew the news of the arrival of Song Wan and his party at the first time, but even her father was reluctant to tell her about the purpose of their visit. However, Dugu Nanqiao vaguely knew in his heart that the purpose of Song Wan and his party was Shen Qian, and the interception and killing of Shen Guo by the Qinghe Cui clan outside Jinghua Shanshui and Moon Town, Dugu Nanqiao knew that it was the handiwork of the Jian Tiansi, but fortunately, a Buddhist monk appeared out of thin air and saved Shen Qian.
In the past two days, Dugu Nanqiao has always been uneasy, and even the sword practice has been relaxed, and she has never been allowed to break through the fourth sword bottleneck of Yunmeng Nine Swords, and the master had told her before going down the mountain that Nan Qiao knew where the bottleneck of Hongchen was.
The housekeeper Liang Wenqin grew up watching Dugu Nanqiao, so he cares a lot about the general's seventh lady.
After all, it was still his daughter, and Dugu Chong couldn't bear to make her sad afterwards, so in the end, it was Liang Wenqin who told Dugu Nanqiao the inside story.
For Dugu Nanqiao, Dugu Chong did not have any restraints, but before she left with Liang Wenqin and Dugu Jing, she told her that she was the seventh lady of the General's Mansion and the daughter of the general of the Great Wei Zhuguo.
In this way, two days passed quietly.
Shen Kuang and Su Yao were less than fifty miles away from Kangzhu City, and they passed by a village last night and spent the night outside the village.
Today is August 15, although it belongs to the Great Wei Dynasty, but for the Mid-Autumn Festival local customs and names are different. For example, in this village called Lianqiao Village, the local people call the Mid-Autumn Festival the moon worship festival, and the moon worship festival in Lianqiao Village is the same major festival as Chinese New Year's Eve.
This morning, every family wakes up early, and children are no exception, and they are not allowed to be lazy today.
Therefore, when Shen Kuang and Su Yao passed by Lianqiao Village, they attracted the eyes of many children, and each child was tied with a short cinnamon branch, which Shen Kuang thought was the custom of this place.
In the past, in Hongni Lane, because there were only two people in the family, he and the master, so such days were not very grand. Shen Kuang either went to the alley to wish his uncle's house, or the other uncles in the alley saw Shen Kuang and invited him to play with his children.
At that time, although Shen was not very old, he would refuse such an invitation, except for Zhu Huyue.
Although Zhu Huyue is worried about Shen Qian, and although Shen Kuang also likes to avoid her, the relationship between the two has always been very good.
Shen Guan looked at those children who were curious about them and couldn't help but think of his own time, when he was probably like these children, he would be bold enough to step forward and take a few glances when he saw strange people in the rivers and lakes.
After all, the children were still a little timid, and the two masked strangers ran away, so after a few glances, they ran away.
Su Yao glanced at those children a few more times, and even had a trance at a certain moment, perhaps remembering some past events.
If you can't really get around Kang Zhucheng, in fact, Shen is unwilling to go through it, if you can only go north and then south along the way, the danger of going back and forth is actually no worse than going directly.
Fortunately, Shen Kuang and Su Yao each have a Fire Dance Pill, which can change their appearance, and six hours is enough.
Huo Wudan originally planned to enter Donghai City in the future, but the current situation could not be avoided to use it, and there was no way to feel distressed.
All the way to Kang Zhucheng, the two of them walked very slowly, and Su Yao became more and more silent, every time Shen Guo said a word, she replied, if Shen Guo didn't ask anymore, she wouldn't say it anymore.
Kang Zhucheng's situation was destined to be extremely difficult, and Shen Jing only hoped that they could escape in six hours.
Shen Guo looked at Su Yao, who bowed his head and walked forward without saying a word, he actually had mixed feelings in his own heart.
