Chapter 25: Showers in the Mountains
The matter of Yuanjiang County Ya avenging the ghost late at night soon spread throughout Yuanjiang County.
After this incident, Lin County made the name of Lord Qingtian loud in the county, but at the same time, Yi Shuyuan also became a strange person known to many people in the county, and at the same time, I don't know how many people spit on that evil businessman, and they are even more embarrassed by He Xin's experience.
It's just that although the county government has pronounced the verdict, it can't be executed immediately, and the high-standard punishment of the death penalty is not to mention the small Yuanjiang County Yamen, even the governor of Yuezhou does not have this right, and must be reported to the Criminal Department for ruling, and then confirmed by Dali Temple, the Yuanjiang County Ya, who has received the receipt, can execute Jia Yuntong.
In particular, this case also involves officials, and it may also require the intervention of the Imperial Supervision Department.
Inevitably having a long night and many dreams, Lin County Commander has ordered someone to set off overnight, quickly submit the case to the case, and at the same time, he repaired a letter and sent it to Chengtian Mansion to the court officials of the same period.
However, the matter involves the imperial court officials, even if everything goes well, it will take two months to wait for the receipt of Dali Temple, these complicated things are too far away for many people, and even Yi Shuyuan does not have much of a concept.
A few days passed, and Yuanjiang County was as calm as ever, but Yi Shuyuan was not idle, he also went to Dujia Village once on the grounds of tolerance, but Du Fang said that He Xin did not appear again.
It's just that Yi Shuyuan feels that Jia Yuntong hasn't been executed yet, and He Xin shouldn't have rested yet, but he just doesn't reappear, which is an intuition.
During this time, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and it seems that because of this, there are fewer people active in the county than before, and many people have begun to plough the fields, and it is gradually time to be busy with farming.
On this day, Yi Shuyuan got up early and came to Tongxin Building.
When the shopkeeper saw that Yi Shuyuan was coming, he hurriedly said politely.
"Mr. Yi is here, what do you want to eat?" The wontons in the back are newly wrapped, and the buns are also steamed! ”
Yi Shuyuan put a bamboo jar on the counter and said with a smile.
"There is a shopkeeper, I want a pot of rice wine, fill it up, and then ask for a few rice cakes, a small packet."
"Well, wait a minute."
Yi Shuyuan nodded, his eyes swept to the hall, some people were eating wontons and noodles there, seeing that he seemed to put down his chopsticks and bowed, Yi Shuyuan didn't know whether he recognized it or not, he also bowed his hand slightly over there or nodded.
"Mr. Yi, okay, a total of twenty-three yuan."
Yi Shuyuan took out four big coins and three small coins from the money bag and put them on the counter, and after exchanging polite words with the shopkeeper, he picked up the bamboo jar and pastry bag and left.
Xihe Village is also busy farming, today is Xiu Mu again, Yi Shuyuan moved his mind to go to the mountain, after that night's events, he is more and more curious about the ghosts and gods, today finally decided to leave, to see if he can meet the Kuonan Mountain God for a while!
Yi Shuyuan went to Kuonanshan from Xihe Village before, but this time he didn't plan to go to the village, so naturally there was a closer road to walk, just go directly from the northwest of the county.
Now Yi Shuyuan's footsteps, it is natural to walk in the past and climb the mountain.
Nowadays, the green in the mountains is getting thicker, and many of the light pole trees in winter have begun to bud, and although there has been an occasional cold in spring recently, there seem to be some anxious flowers in the mountains that have now bloomed, and occasionally you can see a touch of red in the mountains.
After walking a mountain road, Yi Shuyuan stood on a mountain pass, discerning the direction, and the mountain temple of Kuonan Mountain seemed to be further west.
It's just that at this time, Yi Shuyuan suddenly found that the light around him had dimmed, he looked around and then frowned and raised his head, secretly saying in his heart that it was terrible, looking at this situation, I was afraid that it was going to rain!
Thinking about it, it hadn't rained for a long time, and it could even be said that Yi Shuyuan hadn't rained much since he woke up in this world, which made him ignore this situation a little.
Yi Shuyuan was holding a pastry in his left hand and a bamboo jar of wine in his right hand, and he didn't bring any rain gear at all.
In the mountains, I am most afraid of rain, and I am in a dilemma in Yi Shuyuan's current position, the destination is far from reaching, and there are a lot of roads back to the county, and it is even more dangerous if it rains when I go down the mountain.
"Hey, it's not early or late, but you start to go down when I enter the mountain!"
Yi Shuyuan sighed, what else can I do, walk first, I really can't find a place to shelter from the rain, and then it's a big deal to get drenched in soup.
The weather is changing, the sun is shining just now, and at this moment it is already dark clouds, and the frequency of Yi Shuyuan's footsteps has also accelerated a lot, and he even trotted forward in a relatively flat place.
But to be honest, at this moment, there is a breeze that softens his cheeks, making Yi Shuyuan comfortable to the point that the pores on his body are wide open, maybe it's good to walk in the rain?
Yi Shuyuan smiled, and if he came, he was at ease.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, seeing that the sky was getting more and more wrong, and a small rain was brewing, Yi Shuyuan also cried and laughed and found that there were still a few people in a mountain road a little farther on the left.
Those few people seemed to be too tired to do anything, and the speed of their journey was slower than Yi Shuyuan's usual walking.
Yi Shuyuan looked at it should be three Confucian students, one from a distance is an obvious shirt, the other two can't see the details clearly, probably a straight shirt or a straight body or something like Confucianism, light blue and white clothes plus a Confucian scarf, eighty percent of them are scholars who come to the mountains to play together.
Yi Shuyuan was carrying things and walking like flying, and the three of them were out of breath, in comparison, Yi Shuyuan sighed in his heart, the other party was the authentic "scholar with no power to tie the chicken".
However, Yi Shuyuan didn't have the heart to get close to people, and kept hurrying forward.
But Yi Shuyuan didn't plan to get close to the three of them, and the three of them subconsciously walked in his direction after discovering Yi Shuyuan.
"Whew...... Whew......"
The rain had not completely fallen, the wind was already damp, and only a few breaths had passed, and the sky was the first to have a drizzle falling, and as the mountain wind twisted and hit Yi Shuyuan's body and face, he felt a damp earthy smell.
Oops, it's already starting to rain!
Yi Shuyuan was a little impatient in his heart, this kind of drizzle would not immediately wet people, but it was not a way after all, and a layer of hazy mist would begin to appear in the mountains, which was also not good news.
Although the fog was not thick, visibility was also affected, and behind a mountain wall in front of it was a huge ancient pine, the trunk of which was blocked by the mountain wall, but the huge canopy of the umbrella had stretched out to one side.
Yi Shuyuan's heart perked, although it is best not to hide under the big tree on a rainy day, but it is not far from being stung, and this kind of continuous drizzle will most likely not thunder, so it should be able to take shelter over there.
Yi Shuyuan's feet were moving faster and faster, which made the three people who turned the road a little farther behind them cry bitterly, they couldn't keep up, and because of the fog in the mountains, the figure was already looming from a distance, and the situation seemed to be lost in the mountains.
This will not be reserved, and the three of them shouted in unison in a hurry.
"Brother~~~" "Brother in front, please stay——"
"Brother, please stay~~~"
Yi Shuyuan heard the anxious shouts of the three people, he looked back, and found that the three people had been unconsciously pulled away by him for a short distance, and in the place where the rugged forest trees on this mountain road were on the side, they were almost disappearing into the mist, so he shouted over there in response.
"Three, keep walking in this direction, there's an ancient pine in front of you, I'll take shelter from the rain here, I'll wait here, please come quickly-"
"Okay, I'll come over right away—" "Thank you, brother—"
The three people in the rear were overjoyed, and hurriedly cheered up and moved forward, and the person in front did not go far, but waited for them there.
When the three of them got closer, they confirmed that they wouldn't lose it, and Yi Shuyuan didn't wait to get close to them, so he hurriedly continued to move forward, after all, his clothes were already damp.
"I'm right ahead, come here!"
After shouting, Yi Shuyuan walked forward quickly, quickly dodging and turning to the inside, but then he was stunned for a moment.
There was a tea shed under the ancient pine, and his face immediately showed a look of surprise, and he walked forward quickly, but soon his pace slowed down.
How many people pass by in such a place? Why is there a tea shed?
Weird? Monster? Mountain gods? Or is it really just a tea shed?
When Yi Shuyuan hesitated, the three scholars behind him hurried and finally crossed the stone wall.
"Brother, I'm waiting to catch up with you!"
After saying this, one of the three people found the tea shed and immediately showed surprise.
"Hey, there's a tea shed here!" "Really!"
"If that's the case, haha, there's a place to shelter from the rain!"
"Let's go, get over there!"
The three of them hurried over, but halfway through, they found that Yi Shuyuan hadn't moved, and his footsteps couldn't help but slow down.
"Brother Tai, why don't you go to the tea shed?" "yes, it's ......"
The three scholars are not stupid people, and they suddenly felt that a tea shed suddenly appeared in the middle of the mist in the barren mountains and mountains in the rain shower, which was indeed a little weird.
So a funny scene appeared, four people who were drenched in the drizzle stood more than a dozen steps away from the tea shed in two groups, not daring to go into the tea shed to avoid the rain.
The stove in the tea shed was steaming, and the water vapor blended with the surrounding fog, which seemed a little unreal.
An old man seemed to have just finished his work from the stove, carrying a kettle and slowly walked outside, and when he turned his head, he saw four people outside the tea shed, and he wondered after putting the teapot on the side of the table.
"Four guest officers, it's raining in the mountains, why don't you take shelter in the tea shed?"
After Yi Shuyuan hesitated again and again, he still walked forward, if it was really a mysterious and powerful evil thing, just pounce on it, and still have to be so inked? It's a big deal not to drink tea.
At this time, Lu Timid didn't know it, and Yi Shuyuan felt that it was not the best way to turn around and escape.
Seeing that Yi Shuyuan moved, the three scholars hesitated, but still followed into the tea shed, and not long after the four of them entered the tea shed, the rain outside also became heavier.
Yi Shuyuan just stood in the tea shed with his things, looking at all parts of the tea shed, and always paying attention to the old man, the three scholars did not dare to sit down, and they came over one after another to be polite.
"Thank you Brother Tai for showing the way, dare to ask Brother Tai what ......"
"Let's not be busy introducing it yet."
Yi Shuyuan waved his hand and whispered, he didn't know if there was any taboo, anyway, he didn't want to report his name and address information at such a time, and the three of them didn't dare to say much when they saw him in a serious tone, they just looked at the old man carefully.
During this process, Yi Shuyuan also quickly checked the baggage, but the cloth was stained with drizzle, and the books inside were fine.
Seeing the reactions of the few of them, the old man shook his head with a smile and walked to the nearest table with the teapot.
"The old man set up a tea shed here, occasionally for the convenience of people, and there is no malice, if the four of you don't dislike it, taste the pine mist tea concocted by the old man himself, and drive away the cold on his body."
Songwu Tea ...... Yi Shuyuan's heart suddenly moved, and he slowly raised his head, and in his sight, the ancient pine outside the eaves of the tea shed was tall and green.
At this moment, Yi Shuyuan seemed to have his eyes wandering outside his body, and in a trance, the tea shed around him was like a shadow like fog, and there was only the essence of the ancient pine standing tall and the refreshing tea fragrance in the eyes.
This tea shed is made of transfiguration! It's just Honka that shelters from the rain! But this tea is real, and it's not harmful!
Yi Shuyuan didn't know how he saw through it, coupled with all the things he had experienced before, he only knew that his heart was clear at the moment, maybe he was not a pure ordinary person!
