The courtyard where they lived was located in the northernmost part of the village, and further north there were no homes, only in the weedy fields, and about two miles away, a small river running from northwest to southeast meandered by, reflecting the rolling hills farther away.

Due to the moistening of the water in the river, the vegetation on the banks of the river is exceptionally lush and diverse. As they walked slowly along the winding field paths, they saw large patches of unknown little white flowers blooming among the green grass that had become green in autumn.

A bright color suddenly appeared in Jiang Shu's eyes, and he subconsciously broke free from Zhu Changxun's lead, took a few steps forward, bent down, and picked one casually.

But when he raised it to his nose and smelled it, he couldn't help frowning, turned his head to look at him, and said a little strangely: "People often say that fragrant flowers are colorless, color flowers are not fragrant, the more simple and inconspicuous the flower fragrance, the stronger the fragrance, and those beautiful ones choose Shizuka to bloom spontaneously." I see that this flower grows so blandly and pure, it stands to reason that it should be fragrant, why is there no fragrance at all? ”

“…… That statement is only relative to some flowers and plants, not all of them are like this, and they can't be generalized," Zhu Changxun's eyes flashed strangely, raised his feet and walked over, took the flower in her hand, raised it to his nose and smelled it, "It's like a red rose, if it's more gorgeous, what flower can compare to it, it's still fragrant and fragrant." ”

"That's too-" Jiang Shu lowered his eyes and thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said after a little silence, "We've been living here for two days, and we're almost rested, when are you going to leave?" ”

"Don't worry," Zhu Changxun said with a restrained expression, "That Huang Taiji found that you were gone, and he would definitely bring someone to chase you, and he would probably think that you escaped from Jianzhou and went straight to the capital, chasing in the direction of the capital." We stayed here a little longer and then took a detour to save us a lot of trouble. ”

"Yes...... In this way, isn't the trip much longer? Jiang Shu's brows furrowed again.

"There's nothing wrong with that," Zhu Changxun tugged at the corners of his lips disappreciatively, "It's just a trip to the mountains and rivers." ”

“…… So be it. Although Jiang Shu was a little relieved, he knew in his heart that it was better to see him later than to risk being caught again.

That day, after returning to the small courtyard, when she ate the pheasant stewed mushrooms, she no longer smelled the tempting aroma before. However, I just thought that I had a frozen nose after going out, and I didn't care too much.

It wasn't until I couldn't smell anything for several days that I realized that there was something wrong with my sense of smell.

However, I checked my pulse and found no abnormalities, and there was no other discomfort around my body, so I couldn't find the crux of the problem for a while, and I couldn't take medicine.

After Zhu Changxun found out, he was very anxious, and without saying a word, he took her directly to the town's medical center to see a doctor.

The gray-haired old doctor, after checking her pulse and a series of inquiries, said that she was caused by daily worries and rushes, and needed to recuperate for more than a month. But she didn't prescribe medicine, but only gave a sachet that said it was filled with an exclusive secret spice for her to wear with her.

Jiang Shu had opened the sachet out of curiosity and looked at it, but because the powder inside was extremely fine, he couldn't smell it, and he couldn't distinguish what the ingredients of the spice that was said to be helpful for restoring the sense of smell were.

The two of them lived in the village for more than a month according to the doctor's instructions before leaving, and then made a detour to Yongping Mansion and entered the customs through Shanhaiguan. When I returned to the capital like this, it was the second half of the midwinter moon.
