Qihua was eager to save people, and after hearing Chun Yu's few words, he couldn't find the medicinal materials in the barren mountains and mountains for a while, so he stood up and looked at the surrounding terrain, and looked into the distance for a while.

She had words in her mouth, and after a while, she said in an affirmative tone: "We are now at the boundary of Shangjun, not far from Yangzhou County, hurry up, you can enter the county seat before evening, and the pharmacy there should be able to dispense medicinal materials." ”

Chun Yu asked casually, "Why are you so familiar with the road here?" ”

Qihua said: "I came from Chang'an, and this is the way I walked. ”

Chun Yuji also looked in the direction of the county seat for a while, and hesitated, thinking in his heart, we originally wanted to avoid the bustling place, and I don't know what situation we will encounter when we enter the county seat. But when I looked up and saw Qihua's expectant eyes, I thought about it again, it was always important to save people.

He nodded and said, "Let's go into the county seat." With that, he packed his bags, went back to the tomb, and rummaged through the coffin. The jewels and other items were supposed to have been stolen by tomb robbers, and he found a white silk scarf next to his pillow and took it out.

Qihua took a look at it curiously.

Chun Yu said: "This is 'Bing Xuan'." Although it is light and thin, it is very tough, and women outside the plug often use this mask to shield the wind and sand. ”

Qihua handed back the silk scarf and said, "How do you know?" ”

Chun Yu said: "I have been plugged for so many years, so I naturally know." ”

Qihua grimaced with disdain, and he smiled.

Chun Yuji helped Qin Ruoyun up, let her take a few steps, and said to Hua Hua: "She just can't remember what happened before, and everything else is fine." ”

Qi Hua breathed a long sigh of relief, brushed his chest and said: "Saving people's lives is a great thing." "In the past, I supported Qin Ruoyun.

The three of them went down the mountain and walked for a while, Qin Ruoyun didn't want to help her, her face became more and more ruddy, and Chun Yuji let her take a few pieces of wild ginseng.

The sun was setting in the west, and they entered an elm forest. Qihua said: "After this Yulin, it is the county seat of Yangzhou, we have to hurry up and go forward at the gate of the city." ”

The three of them hurried slowly, and finally walked into the north gate of Yangzhou County in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The people of the small town live a leisurely life, the sky is a little dark, and there is no one on the street. Chun Yu found a few pharmacies, but they were all closed, so he stood on the street at a loss.

Qihua said: "Forget it, let's go buy medicine tomorrow morning, go to eat first, and then find a guest house to live in." He asked Qin Ruoyun with a smile: "Okay?" ”

Qin Ruoyun just nodded in a daze.

Chun Yuji felt that it had no choice but to be like this.

The three of them walked into a restaurant on the side of the street together. When the shopkeeper saw Qin Ruoyun, he hurriedly came over to greet him, and bowed with a smile on his face.

Qihua was so strange and asked, "Do you know her?" ”

"Why don't you know, Ruoyun, the eldest lady of the Qin family in the west of the city." Then he greeted him familiarly: "Miss Qin, what do you want to eat today, there is a good beef soup cake." Ruoyun nodded.

The shopkeeper looked at them like rich lords, and asked, "You two also have the same share?" ”

Qihua knew that the government did not allow the slaughter of cultivated cattle, and if he violated it, he would be severely punished. Even if they died of illness or injury, cowhides, tendons, horns, beef, etc., were purchased by the government and used as military supplies. If there is a roadside wild shop that secretly sells some beef, there are some of them, but it is rare for restaurants in the county town to sell beef in a grand manner, so he asked suspiciously: "Store, how can there be beef sold in your store?" ”

The shopkeeper showed a smug smile on his face: "You are in a hurry, yesterday there was a farmer's calf outside the city who fell from a cliff and died, and sold it to me after reporting to the official." It is also a blessing to you. Only then did Qihua understand that the calves had not yet grown up, and the cowhide, tendon, etc. were unusable, so the people were allowed to dispose of them themselves.

She looked at Chun Yuji, and he didn't seem to care, so he said, "Okay, three portions of the same beef soup and cakes, and a large sauce." The shopkeeper promised to go to the kitchen.

After the three of them sat down, Qihua asked Ruoyun: "Your home is in the west of the city, do you remember how to get there?" Ruoyun didn't nod or shake her head, just looked at her.

At this time, the shopkeeper sent the beef soup cake, Qihua raised his head and wanted to ask the shopkeeper, but Chun Yuji signaled not to ask. Qihua didn't understand why he didn't ask, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

When the shopkeeper left, Chun Yu said: "The store is familiar with Ruoyun, and Ruoyun is with us again." If you ask him how the Qin family is going, he will inevitably be strange. If we suspect that we abducted Ruoyun and went to report to the official, it would be troublesome. ”

Qihua was also a little afraid when he thought about it, blamed himself for being too reckless, blushed with shame, and admired Chun Yuji's thoughtfulness, and playfully stuck out his tongue.

The three of them went out after dinner, the sky was already dark, and the street scene was hazy. They asked a few passers-by, and they all knew that the Qin family in Chengxi, who was the richest man in the county, pointed out where the Qin family went, and one of them also said that he had dealings with the Qin family. Chun Yu asked the Qin family if there had been any major events in the past few days, and the man replied that he had been to the Qin Mansion a few days ago, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, but the head of the Qin family, Weng Qin Jian, was a little unwell.

Qihua saw Chun Yuji's frowning and worried look, and approached him to ask him what was going on.

Chun Yuji pulled her aside and said softly: "If Yun is the eldest lady of the Qin family, it stands to reason that her funeral will be very grand, why don't people here know about it." Qihua also feels strange when he thinks about it.

Chun Yu said: "Let's hurry up and take Ruoyun home, and there will be a curfew later." It's always a strange thing. You be careful and accompany Ruoyun. ”

Qihua nodded in agreement, and the three of them went to Qin's house in the west of the city.

The county seat of Yangzhou is not big, and after turning a few alleys, you will arrive at Qin's house. Chun Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and after a while he heard footsteps coming.

The door opened, and it was opened by a middle-aged butler wearing a black hat and a long belt hanging knife.

Chun Yu was just about to speak, but when the man saw Qin Ruoyun, his face changed drastically as if he had seen a ghost, and his lips trembled for a long time without speaking.

Ruoyun looked indifferent, and said, "Uncle Tan." Then he walked to the inner compartment with a familiar way. Chun Yuji and Qihua hesitated for a moment, and also followed into the courtyard.

Qihua said: "She still knows her home. As he spoke, he glanced back, and Uncle Tan was still standing there.

She tugged at Chun Yuji's sleeve and said softly, "That person must have thought he had seen a ghost." A little worried, he said to himself, "Don't think of us as ghosts." ”

The courtyard of the Qin Mansion is very spacious, with a long corridor leading to the backyard, and the courtyard is planted with some flowers and plants, or no one takes care of them, and the remnants of flowers and leaves are everywhere.

Ruoyun walked straight into the brightly lit backyard nave. Chun Yuji and Qihua followed behind, and before they entered the house, they suddenly heard a frightened scream coming from inside the house.

The two of them hurriedly rushed into the house, only to see a woman in a gorgeous skirt with a standard face, stroking her heart and fainting.

Inside the room sat a man with a haggard face, with a thick silk scarf wrapped around his forehead, who seemed to be not very old, but looked old. His face was pale, his eyes glazed, and he trembled. The maids on both sides were also terrified.

Ruoyun didn't seem to be aware of any of this, walked to the man's case, sat down slowly, and said, "Ah Weng." ”
