Chapter 111: Into the Mountain
Ye Chengwei didn't see anything strange in the eyes of the shopkeeper, but was worried that he would ruin his own affairs, and ordered coldly: "Go down." ”
The shopkeeper watched the white-faced little student change the porridge bowl under his nose, and wanted to explain something with a bitter face, but after seeing the dazzling Jinjin's threatening eyes, he immediately stopped thinking.
I couldn't figure out what tricks the pair of broken sleeves were playing, so I had to obediently retreat.
Hua Rujin was satisfied with the porridge and drank it by herself.
Seeing Ye Chengwei turn around, she put some green vegetables into his bowl, and said with a smile: "This porridge is really fragrant, Ye Gongzi, you should use some quickly." ”
Ye Chengwei smiled lightly, and then quietly picked up the porridge and drank it slowly.
The two looked at each other, but after a long time, Ye Chengwei didn't notice that this girl was all over her body.
This made him look anxious.
"What's wrong with Miss Hua?"
Ye Chengwei frowned and asked.
"Me?"
Hua Rujin shook her head blankly: "No, I eat and sleep well, and the whole person is refreshed." ”
"That's not right."
Ye Chengwei had a suspicion on his face:
Could it be that this sweat medicine has already passed its effect?
Or maybe you're putting too little on your own?
"Ye Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Rujin smiled evilly: "Why do you ask such a strange question." ”
"Oh, it's fine."
Ye Chengwei pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.
"Are you really okay?"
Hua Rujin raised her eyes and stared at him.
"Seriously."
Before Ye Chengwei finished speaking, he felt that his eyes were dark, his vision swayed, and he fell weakly on the table.
"Ahem, after all, Ye Gongzi, you carried everything yourself."
Hua Rujin got up unhurriedly and scolded the shopkeeper hiding in the corner: "Don't get out of here yet." ”
The shopkeeper tiptoed forward and begged for mercy: "Childe, this is not a trivial matter, it was your good friend who forced the little one to take the sweat medicine." ”
"What's good?"
Hua Rujin was deeply helpless by his title, and asked with a blushing face: "What else did Ye Gongzi explain to you?" ”
The shopkeeper was about to answer, when he suddenly saw the shopkeeper leading a young man in a blue robe and rushed in.
Hua Rujin fixed her eyes and saw that it was her elegant cousin.
He was followed by an old beggar and a little servant.
Looking at the situation in front of them, several people were stunned.
"Cousin, are you alright?"
Shu Jinxuan called out to her, came up to check, and looked at Ye Chengwei, who was lying on the table without moving, and was very puzzled: "What's wrong with Ye Gongzi?" ”
"Oh, he's worked so hard these days that he was so tired that he slept to death just after breakfast."
Hua Rujin suddenly understood everything.
It seems that as he expected, he wanted to numb himself with sweat medicine, and then ask his cousin to send him back to Gangneung City.
"Shopkeeper, don't help Ye Gongzi go back to the room to rest."
Hua Rujin didn't want her elegant cousin to know too much, so she hurriedly urged the shopkeeper, took out a tael of silver and handed it to him, and said in a deep voice: "Take care of Ye Gongzi, if you let him have any problems, I will demolish your broken shop." ”
"Definitely, definitely."
The shopkeeper had already realized that these were not easy to provoke in the house, and perhaps the one who was overturned was still a court official.
Seeing the shopkeeper and Xiao Er carrying Ye Chengwei back to the guest room, Hua Rujin went to greet the elegant cousin and the old beggar with peace of mind.
"Master, cousin, I want you to accompany me into the mountains."
Hua Rujin directly expressed her thoughts.
The old beggar guessed that this girl should have found some clues, and was afraid that the Shu family would ask about the whereabouts of the apprentice, so he hurriedly pulled him and ran out: "It's just right, it's crisp in autumn, go to the mountains to pick some game and come back to give me some wine." ”
Shu Jinxuan was like a monk at this time, completely confused.
Didn't my cousin and Ye Chengwei go to the Inspection Division yesterday, why did the two stay alone in the country inn?
And he didn't believe that Ye Chengwei was overworked and slept to death.
In that way, it was like being medicated and numbed.
Could it be that my cousin did it?
Shu Jinxuan turned his head to look at the flowers as he walked out.
He really couldn't think of any way for this Nizi to calculate the always shrewd and capable champion.
After getting into the carriage, Shu Jinxuan thought about leaving Ye Chengwei alone in the inn, and he always felt like he was in a hurry, and he hurriedly asked: "Cousin, since you are going to enter the mountain, why don't you let the magistrate go with him, so he will ask everyone when he wakes up." ”
"The magistrate of the county has a lot of opportunities all day long, how can he have the leisure time to accompany us to the mountains."
Hua Rujin chuckled disappreciatively: "Just let him stay here." ”
Hengzhu is the one who plots against himself first, and he can't blame himself.
"What the girl said is reasonable, bring an old-fashioned and pedantic champion Lang to go together, how can we have the heart to travel the mountains and rivers."
The old beggar had already seen the clue of the matter, and he didn't break it, so he deliberately approached Hua Rujin and changed the topic: "Girl, that Baitou Mountain is very big, I heard that there are people from the Jiangfang Captain's Mansion patrolling the mountain, can you think about how to enter the mountain?" ”
"It's not that hard."
Shu Jinxuan saw that neither of them took Ye Chengwei in their eyes, and he no longer insisted on this matter, and said: "Although this Jiang'an County is a small county, the Chujiang Temple in Baitou Mountain is famous far and wide, we just need to pretend to be pilgrims who go to offer incense and pray." ”
"That's a good idea."
Hua Rujin nodded in agreement.
So, I bought incense paper in a nearby town and hurried into the mountain.
It was only when I arrived at the foot of the mountain that I encountered groups of officers and soldiers patrolling here, and when I inquired, I learned that because of the sacrifice to be held in a few days, all the mountain roads to the Chujiang Temple were closed.
The old beggar sat in the carriage and rubbed his hands anxiously: "According to this situation, let alone entering the mountain, even getting close to the Chujiang Temple is a problem. ”
At this moment, Hua Rujin finally understood Ye Chengwei's painstaking efforts.
Anything related to this case is a wall everywhere.
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival would be in two days, her heart began to become more and more anxious.
"There's no hurry."
Hua Rujin tried her best to comfort herself, and also tried her best to comfort the two: "Since the right path can't go through, then let's go the wrong way." ”
She was not interested in the Chu River Temple, and it was urgent to figure out the connection between Baitou Mountain and the Chu River.
If the change in the water quality of the Chu River is really related to Baitou Mountain, it must not be in the deep mountains, but along the river.
After thinking about it carefully, she said to the old beggar and Shu Jinxuan: "Master, cousin, why don't we inquire along the way and see what other important buildings there are in this mountain besides the temple." ”
"Baitou Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and in addition to the station of the captain of Jiangfang, the rest are probably scattered hunters."
Shu Jinxuan frowned slightly, and she didn't know why her cousin insisted on inquiring about things in the mountains.
"Then let's go find the hunters in the mountains."
Hua Rujin made up her mind, so she abandoned the carriage with Shu Jinxuan and the old beggar and hiked into the mountain from a hidden jungle on the bank of the river.
