Early in the morning of the second day, Ouyang Lan asked the store to buy cloves, peilan and other spices, crushed cloves and mint into sachets, and crushed white mangs and peilan into another sachet.

After a while, Zhu Ziping and Yan Yue had already freshened up and came to the front hall. Ouyang Lan handed the sachet to Zhu Ziping: "Brother Zhu is a person who practices martial arts, and this sachet contains cloves and mint, which can repel mosquitoes and insects, I hope that Big Brother will accept it." He handed another sachet to Yan Yue, "Brother Yan is a literati, this sachet can dispel wind and dampness, and I hope to accept it." ”

Yan Yue took the sachet, leaned under his nose and sniffed it, it was indeed fragrant and pleasant, and said with a smile: "Sister Ouyang is really careful, the sachet is so exquisite, it can be seen that the mind is ingenious." Ouyang Lan was embarrassed.

The three of them finished breakfast, left Guanting Town, and continued along the official road. There are still few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally there are fast horses galloping behind them, raising a cloud of dust and mist. Zhu Ziping shook his head: "If we also ride horses, it will save a lot of effort." ”

"Brother Zhu, if we hurry up this evening, we can reach Lu'an Prefecture, why don't we rent a carriage there, so that Sister Ouyang will be less tired." Yan Yue looked at Ouyang Lan again, "Sister Ouyang, what do you say?" Ouyang Lan nodded yes.

Approaching noon, I saw a mountain in front of me, and the official road zigzag inward. The strange pine and strange stones in the mountain are full of charm. The three of them walked forward, Zhu Ziping was alert again, immediately stopped, raised his hand to signal Yan Yue and Ouyang Lan behind him to stop, raised his eyes to look, but couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and a bright light flew from the woods twenty zhang away in front of the right, Zhu Ziping flipped his hand and grabbed it between his fingers, but it was a carved arrow, threw it to the ground, and copied the sunset in his hand. At this time, the sound of "whoosh" kept ringing, Zhu Ziping danced the sunset, knocked those feather arrows, leaned over and picked up one from the ground and threw it into the forest, only to hear the sound of "ouch" as if it hit a person. Leaned over to pick up a few more, and came out of his hand, and the sound of ouch rang out again and again.

Someone in the forest shouted: "The idea is too hard, Senior Brother Zongbo, let's withdraw quickly." Zhu Ziping frowned: "Jiuhua Sect? Hearing the sound in the forest, he didn't chase after him, and stood there for a moment and saw no movement, "They have retreated, let's go." ”

Ouyang Lan's face was already pale, and she was supported by Yan Yue, but her eyes looked straight at the woods. Yan Yue said: "Sister Ouyang don't have to be afraid, with Brother Zhu here, these little thieves don't even deserve to tickle." ”

No more disturbances along the way. When it was late, the three of them rushed to Lu'an Prefecture and found an inn to stay. Xiao Er was very enthusiastic and poured out to the three of them: "The three guest officers are Lu'an for the first time, right?" Not only are Lu'an melon slices here one of the top ten famous teas in the country; Dendrobium huoshan that grows in the crevices of cliffs or towering ancient trees can strengthen the body and nourish the skin; The water collected from the main peak of Baimajian in Dabie Mountain can detoxify and heal. In addition to the beautiful scenery everywhere, we are also the birthplace of the ancient saint Gaotao, there is a Gaotao tomb in the east of the city, many celebrities have left poems and songs there, and the three have time to worship. Especially tomorrow morning, there will be a big drama in the city, and the guest officers can listen to it for free......"

Ouyang Lan couldn't help laughing: "Little second brother, it's really a good idea." Yan Yue said: "Gao Tao is the son of the Yellow Emperor, Shao Hao, and Yao, Shun, Yu are equally famous, and Confucius is respected as the 'Four Sages of Ancients', and it is indeed time to pay homage." ”

"I like Lu Opera very much, if the two eldest brothers are not in a hurry tomorrow, can they go and listen to it?" Ouyang Lan looked at the two and asked.

Zhu Ziping responded: "No hurry. Yan Yue looked at Ouyang Lan with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, just accompany Sister Ouyang to listen." ”

On the morning of the second day, the three of them went out of the inn, and without inquiring, they followed the crowd towards the city. After a short period of effort, I saw a stage about one zhang high set up in an open space, gongs and drums were banging loudly, and the benches were full of black people. After a while, the stage began to sing loudly, and the voice was high-pitched and unrestrained, with ups and downs.

Ouyang Lan stood in front of the two of them and said: "This is "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", adapted from the great dramatist Guan Hanqing of the Yuan Dynasty "The Story of the Jade Hairpin in Xuancaotang", which is about the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the Jingkang Rebellion, Chen Jiaolian, the daughter of Kaifeng Fucheng, fled to the privet view outside Jinling City with her mother. The young scholar Pan Bizheng was the master of the privet view because his aunt Fa Cheng was the master of the privet view, and he was unwilling to return to his hometown, so he also lived in the view. The two fell in love, and later the nun Miao Chang fell in love with Pan Bizheng and married despite the constraints of etiquette and Buddhism......"

At this moment, Zhu Ziping felt that something was wrong, and immediately glanced around, only to see that close to his left, the man looked at the stage, but his right hand stabbed the dagger that was dangling. Zhu Ziping stretched out his hand, swept the dagger, and did not stop stretching out his finger to poke at the man's temple.

The man missed, and immediately slipped forward into the crowd. Zhu Ziping was about to chase in, but when he heard Yan Yue's "ah", he covered his waist with his right hand and fell to the ground. Zhu Ziping turned his head to look, only to see the other person bending down and fleeing backwards, he couldn't help but be furious, kicked on his toes, and a stone hit the other person's jade pillow acupoint and fell to the ground.

The crowd in the back row was already chaotic, crowded and scattered. Ouyang Lan helped Yan Yue and was shocked: "Brother Yan, don't you matter?" Zhu Ziping looked around, and when he saw that no one stepped forward, Fang leaned down, only to see Yan Yue lying on his side on the ground, with a dagger stuck in his waist, and his face gradually turned pale.

Zhu Ziping picked him up, and his right hand and fingers connected the acupoints of Yan Yueqimen, Abdominal Wailing, Zhangmen, Daheng, and Jingmen, and pulled out the dagger behind the sealing acupuncture points, Yan Yue snorted in pain and fainted.

"Ouyang Lan, this place is dangerous, come with me." Zhu Ziping picked up Yan Yue and rushed quickly towards a remote alley, and Ouyang Lan followed him and trotted all the way. Zhu Ziping didn't know where he should go, he just wanted to get rid of those people as soon as possible, so that he could heal Yan Yue's injuries.

The alley was not long, and he ran out without much effort, Zhu Ziping looked at the direction, and then walked to another alley, so he passed through eight or nine alleys, and when he looked up, he saw an inn and plunged into it. Zhu Ziping asked for a room, put Yan Yue on the bed, and landed his wounds and back with his hands in palms, urging the true qi to slowly enter, and after a pillar of incense, Yan Yue's body moved and opened his eyes.

"Yan Yue, you are seriously injured now, don't speak, close your eyes and rest." Zhu Ziping said to Ouyang Lan again, "No one is disturbed here for the time being, you accompany you here and don't move around, I'll go back when I go." After that, he didn't wait for Ouyang Lan to answer, and bowed his head and went out.

Outside the door, Zhu Ziping hid the Falling Sun Gong in his clothes, and secretly thought: "This Jiuhua Sect seems to be following me, you must be careful, and you can't harm Yan Yue and Ouyang Lan anymore." At this time, seeing an old man walking in front of him, Zhu Ziping stepped forward: "Old man, can you sell me your hat?" The old man glanced at him, took off the dogskin hat, and handed it over: "Five coins of silver." ”

Zhu Ziping didn't say much, he paid two silver and put the dogskin hat on his head, the hat ears drooped down to cover most of his face, and he leaned up and walked forward slowly. On the way, I inquired about the nearest pharmacy and bought 20 parts of the root bark and pine leaves of the willow tree, and 10 parts of safflower, angelica, eucommia, and angelica, and crushed them respectively.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was very shrewd and said: "The shop also has a wine brewed by slashing water, and if this medicinal herb is soaked in soaking water, it will have double the effect, but the price of this wine is not low." ”

Zhu Ziping paid the money, took the herbs and wine, returned to the inn, and divided the medicine into two halves, half of which was stirred evenly, and the other half was poured into the wine. For several days, the three of them hid in the room and never went out, and every day, Zhu Ziping sprinkled the medicinal powder on Yan Yue's wound and asked him to take the medicinal wine regularly. The shopkeeper knew that someone was injured, so he accepted the silver taels and delivered the food into the room on time, but he didn't dare to say anything. Zhu Ziping and Ouyang Lan took turns on duty beside Yan Yue, there were two beds in the room, Zhu Ziping rarely went to sleep, and when he was sleepy, he closed his eyes and meditated for a while.

Twenty days later, Yan Yue's wound gradually healed, and his face became shiny, and he said, "Brother Zhu, Sister Ouyang, you have worked hard these days. Ouyang Lan lowered her head and said, "Brother Yan, it's all my fault, I provoked Jiuhua Sect, and you were also injured." Zhu Ziping said hatefully: "Miss Ouyang, don't say that, Brother Yan, it's me who has caused you trouble." Jiuhua Sect ...... I can't spare them! ”

After another ten days, although Yan Yue was still unable to move freely, he was no longer in serious trouble, and the three of them decided to set off. Zhu Ziping said: "Brother Yan's injuries are not yet healed, and he is unable to move, you wait here, I will rent a carriage." Yan Yue hurriedly said: "Big brother be careful when you go out." Zhu Ziping nodded and went out.

These days, Ouyang Lan has always been around Yan Yue, and the two of them have gradually talked more. But after Zhu Ziping left, the two suddenly felt that they had nothing to say, and they couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"Lan'er, this sachet was cut by a dagger, it's a pity that it's ......" "It's a pity, I'll make another one for Brother Yan now." "You still call me Brother Yan? It's not a bad idea. "Well, I...... What do you call? "Call it whatever you want."

Ouyang Lan covered her mouth and smiled: "I, I call you a dog, are you willing?" Yan Yue raised his right palm to make a gesture, but Ouyang Lan dodged with a smile.

"Ouch." Yan Yue snorted and lay his head on the quilt motionless. Ouyang Lan held his shoulder and asked in surprise, "Brother Yan, you don't matter, right?" ”

Yan Yue leaned on Ouyang Lan, feeling the soft body, and suddenly smiled: "I, I'm going to die...... It is popular. ”

"You, you're just going to scare me and ignore you." Ouyang Lan feigned anger, but walked to the table, took out flannel, needle and thread, and made sachets. The time was not long, but he heard Yan Yue babble and say, "Lan'er, I, I want to ...... Urinate. ”
