Yushui Town, Yushui County, Yujiang County.

The rain was still dripping, and Shao Xi and the yarn girl stood opposite each other on the ferry with oil-paper umbrellas, looking at each other.

Lao Wu had already led the horses to the boat, and went with the accompanying officials to check whether the cabin where they would rest on the way had been arranged.

"You don't know when you'll come to Yujiang County again, and you don't know how many times you and I can see each other in this life? But what you have given me, I will do my best to do it, even if I never have the opportunity to see each other in the future, I will remember that you have been here. ”

Although Shao Xi knew what the yarn girl was thinking at this time, she didn't dare to take this conversation.

He had promised Ye Ziyuan what he had promised, but he hadn't fully done it, and even Mei Ruoyan didn't dare to make any promises, let alone the girl in front of him.

He is not an amorous person, let alone a merciful person, he doesn't want to let himself owe too much emotional debt, so some things can only be silently put in his heart, you know me and I understand it is enough.

If you say something too clearly, it will only hurt both parties, so it is better to simply keep it in your heart and let the years slowly smooth it out and fade it.

"Don't worry! With a master like you here, I will definitely come back to see you whenever I have the chance. A person's life may be very short, but in this short life, if there is someone who can keep him remembering, it is also a happy thing, I will always remember you, always remember that happiness, I believe you too, right? ”

In fact, the yarn girl also knew in her heart what Shao Xi wanted to say, and the two of them were destined to have no result. At that time, she vowed not to marry for the rest of her life, and she just wanted to pass on her father's yarn mill and yarn-making technology, and she also understood that Shao Xi had some concerns in her heart, and this concern would never change because of her appearance. Instead of painfully fetters, it is better for everyone to be more free and easy, although it is not to talk about forgetting each other, but at least there will not be so embarrassing and entangled.

The rain curtain formed under the beads of the two oil-paper umbrellas is like two barriers, isolating the two people in their own world, and the two can only look at each other, but they can never go under each other's umbrellas. It's not that you don't want to, it's not that you don't want to, it's that you

Two people, one is destined not to go into the rivers and lakes, and the other is destined to not be able to get out of the rivers and lakes, two people from different worlds, even if there is a moment of intersection in the long years, but still can't change the fact that they are in different worlds. Even if you have a heart and a heart, you can't break through that barrier and finally stand together, instead of being painfully entangled, it is better to simply look at each other from a distance through this barrier and bless each other.

Perhaps, this is the best choice.

"You're right, so I will always remember you, even if we can't see each other again in this life, you still have the fan pendant and boots I gave you by your side, and I will still have the wind chimes and glass beads you gave me, it doesn't matter if you're not around, the important thing is not in your heart."

"Well, it's good that you understand. Even if we are thousands of miles away, we are still by each other's side, and this feeling is something that others can't experience. ”

"That's nature."

The indifferent smile on the face of the yarn girl resurfaced when she first met Shao Xi, still so gentle and calm, like the still water of a lake without wind and waves.

"I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

Without any more words, Shao Xi turned around and walked to the boat on the gangplank, turned around and quietly looked at the yarn girl standing on the ferry.

The boat quietly left the ferry and slowly headed off into the distance.

Shao Xi and Yarn Girl looked at each other like this, gradually getting farther and farther away, until they disappeared at the end of their sight.

Precisely:

A paper oil umbrella and half a curtain yarn,

Drizzle Qingping's daughter's house.

There are thousands of waves without wind,

Yao will be the Yiren as a mirror flower.

The wish of the veil girl's father before her death was that his daughter would never step into the rivers and lakes, and Shao Xi was burdened with the blood and hatred of the Feng family, and this road in the rivers and lakes would be unavoidable.

Two people who are destined to not live in the same world, just like the same mirror, although close but far away, each living in their own world may be the best choice.

The yarn girl stood on the ferry for a long time with an oil-paper umbrella alone, although Shao Xi's boat had long disappeared from sight, she still looked straight in that direction, and it seemed that she could still see Shao Xi standing on the boat with an umbrella. No one knew what was going on in her mind at the moment, only the thin rain that drenched her feet and the hem of her skirt.

I don't know how long it took, but the yarn girl sighed softly, and left the ferry with an umbrella to return to the yarn mill.

Pushing open the courtyard door and walking into the courtyard, the first thing she saw was the string of wind chimes that Shao Xi gave her hanging in front of her window, which was gently swaying in the breeze at this time, making a pleasant sound.

The piece of bamboo that fell under the wind chime had a vigorous and powerful word "line" written on it, which was the last thing Shao Xi asked him to do before leaving.

At that time, when Shao Xi wrote this word, he thought that no matter what the yarn girl wanted to do in the future, the word "line" would wish her a smooth and smooth future.

But the yarn girl understood the meaning of traveling and leaving, so when she saw Shao Xi write this word, her mood became more and more heavy. At this time, seeing the bamboo pieces with the word "line" written on them swaying and flipping in the wind, my heart was even more unpleasant.

Walked into the room, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, came to the window to catch the swaying bamboo, and slowly wrote the word "return" on the back, hoping that Shao Xi would return one day after leaving today to visit him to relieve his lovesickness.

Let go of the bamboo piece, and watching it return to its constant flipping appearance in the wind, the yarn girl smiled and said to herself, "Return!" I hope that one day you are traveling to return, not to leave, I will be here waiting for you to come back......"

……

The boat goes out of the Yushui River and into the Yujiang River all the way to the west, which is all against the current, and the speed of the boat is naturally much slower. The destination of this trip is from Beiling County to the Guangling River, a tributary of the Yujiang River, and all the way south to Nanshui County along the river.

After arriving at Nanshui County to meet with the mission, it was necessary to cross the mountains and mountains all the way, enter the territory of Nanzhao by land, and go all the way south to Yongchuan City, the capital of Nanzhao.

Although this distance is not too far, the terrain is dangerous, and there are many mountains, which is extremely difficult to walk. Fortunately, there was a welcome delegation sent by the Southern Zhao State to receive the mission and guide the way for the mission, so that the mission could arrive at the capital of Southern Zhao smoothly.

Shao Xi was a little depressed all the way, after all, the eyes that the yarn girl looked at him when they were separated had always been in his heart, and he couldn't wave it away for a long time.

Rational behavior does not mean that there is no emotional thought, although the time spent with the yarn girl is not much, but its simple and gentle, peaceful and indifferent temperament will always be firmly remembered.

Lao Wu knew very well that these young boys and girls were competing with him sentimentally all day long, so he didn't bother to care about him. A person sits on the bow of the boat with his own small wine, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, but it is still full of comfort.

Shao Xi didn't have that mind to him, he had tossed him enough these days, and as soon as he got on the ship, he got into the cabin and slept with his head covered, and slept for three days. If he hadn't come out of the cabin on this day, Lao Wu really suspected that he had suffocated himself inside.

"Finally reluctant? Boy! After sleeping day and night for three days, and not even eating two meals, were you sleepy in your last life? ”

Shao Xi rubbed his eyes that were stimulated by the sun and couldn't open them, but he didn't admit defeat in his mouth, and muttered back: "I'm young! Spend a lot of time sleeping, like you old guy? In this world, you have to sit on the bow of the boat every day and look at it tightly, and if you envy me, you will say it clearly! ”

"Hey——! You little conscienceless! Now you're cursing me to die sooner, aren't you? Old man, I'm not like you to waste your time, if you don't hurry up to take a look at this great mountain and river, you will face those deceit and intrigue every day in the future, and you won't have a chance to see it if you want to see it, and you'll be busy! I'm going to envy you stinky boy? ”

Lao Wu is indeed right, once he enters the territory of Nanzhao Kingdom, it is impossible to say that there will be crises everywhere. Don't look at the fact that the two countries have not had contacts for many years, but they are definitely not friendly neighbors, and the reason why they do not have exchanges is because they don't look down on each other?

The envoys of Southern Zhao sent an envoy to Jing Yuanguo, and as soon as they arrived, they held a martial arts competition, where is this a sign of friendship? The Southern Zhao State has been self-isolated for many years, and it has a great relationship with its strong national style and hard to get along with, although there are few wars with the Jingyuan Empire, it is only because the mountains are isolated and it is inconvenient to use troops.

In fact, Nanzhao and some surrounding barbarian tribes still have conflicts all year round, but Nanzhao is much stronger than these tribes, so these barbarian tribes are also far away from the mountains to provoke him.

This time, Shao Xi sent an envoy to Nanzhao, first, to try to establish friendly diplomatic relations with Nanzhao, which was not as easy as he thought. This time he will inevitably be troubled by the emperor of the Southern Zhao State and his ministers, Shao Xi must not lose the national prestige of the Jingyuan Dynasty, and must find a way to complete the establishment of diplomatic relations.

The second thing is to find out who is in the Southern Zhao Kingdom and the Jingyuan Dynasty? Who wanted to use the Southern Zhao Kingdom to create turmoil in the south of the Jingyuan Empire, intending to disturb the peace around the Jingyuan Dynasty? What is its purpose?

None of these two things is easy, since there are people in the Jingyuan Dynasty who collude with the Southern Zhao State, then it must be a promise of high profits, if you want to establish diplomatic relations with the Southern Zhao State, you must break this interest relationship, otherwise the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Zhao State will definitely not give themselves a good face, and the establishment of diplomatic relations will become a castle in the air, a mirror, and a complete empty word.

Shao Xi turned his head to look at the cargo compartment behind the ship, where the batch of blue haze purple cloud yarn provided to him by the yarn girl was stacked. Although Xiao Changyi had prepared a thousand-year-old ginseng from Tianqiong Mountain as a gift for the Emperor of Southern Zhao before, Shao Xi felt that this batch of green haze and purple cloud yarn might be the best bargaining chip that could really be used to establish a relationship with the Emperor of Southern Zhao.

Southern Zhao State, a land of smoke miasma, is poor in resources.

Something like the thousand-year-old ginseng of Tianqiong Mountain, to be honest, even if it is given to them, they cannot accurately measure its value, and this kind of gift to them is simply a waste.

For them, the best gifts are practical things. What is a practical thing? Food, cloth, salt, and iron are the things they really lack, the things that everyone in Nanzhao knows the value, and they are the things they want the most.

As the saying goes, don't send the expensive ones, only the right ones.

Shao Xi had already begun to think in his heart at this time, what was what Nan Zhao wanted most? What impresses them the most?
