Changqing put a towel stained with seawater on Yan Lingyu's forehead, this so-called towel is made of the fabric on his own clothes, although there is a steady stream of qi to keep her cold, but because her body is still hot, Yan Lingyu has been sleeping most of the time in the past two days.

Although Changqing has the experience of taking care of people because of Li Yuyu, he is not a doctor, and he will inevitably feel anxious in the face of this situation.

When evening came again, he cut open a conch and fed the meat slice to Yan Lingyu's mouth.

The latter slowly opened his eyes and smiled at him:

"You eat, I don't want to eat. ”

Changqing shook his head and said:

"You need to eat more so you can get better faster. ”

Yan Lingyu reluctantly opened his eyes and said weakly: "We can't go back, right, Changqing." ”

He smiled and said:

"How could it be, there will always be a way out, as long as you dare to believe it. ”

Yan Lingyu smiled slightly, the flushing on his face faded, and his face was a little pale.

After a moment, he fell into a deep sleep again.

Changqing looked up at the sea in the distance with a worried expression, and gradually there were sporadic lights in his sight, those lights were far away, but they were getting closer.

.....

Yan Lingyu had a dream, dreaming that she was lying on a soft bed, not her own soft mattress, but it was already good, and her requirements were not high now.

In the haze, she saw that someone was feeding herself medicine, and she had to say that the medicine was really bitter.

When she woke up again, her mind cleared up, and she realized that she was not dreaming, and slowly opened her eyes, and looked around, and found that it was a very rough little mud house, and the evening sun slipped down from the wooden door frame and fell on a gray-haired man, who was squatting on the threshold holding a large white bowl and desperately picking rice, as if the bowl contained the best thing in the world.

When Changqing heard the movement behind him, he naturally looked back and smiled:

"Are you awake?"

Yan Lingyu nodded and said:

"I'm hungry. ”

Changqing stretched out his hand to wipe the rice grains from the corners of his mouth and spread his legs and ran outside the house, and after a while, he brought in a bowl of white porridge, which contained some lean meat and a few cabbage leaves, which looked extremely light.

"Why do you give me porridge? You eat white rice, is it better for you? ”

"How can you, you haven't eaten for a few days, you can only drink porridge. ”

Yan Lingyu took the bowl and chopsticks, slowly drank the meat porridge, and a little soup overflowed from the corner of his mouth, which was quietly wiped away by Changqing.

She was drinking porridge when a woman walked in outside the house, looked at the two of them and smiled:

"Changqing, is your daughter-in-law awake?"

Changqing nodded, smiled at the woman, and said:

"Thank you, Aunt Zhang. ”

The woman was forty miles away, and when she saw Changqing say this, she smiled and went out of the house and closed the door.

"Who's your daughter-in-law, and, what's going on. ”

Changqing told her what happened after she fell unconscious.

Yan Lingyu nodded, but asked a question:

"Now that you have arrived in Huizhou, it is not far from Yuzhou, what are your plans? ”

When Changqing heard this, his joy was replaced by some strange emotion, and he sat on the edge of the bed and was silent for a while.

"I'll send you back. ”

Yan Lingyu slowly put down the white bowl and snorted.

......

Yuzhou Maoyu County is not far from Qingyun Mountain, by those Qing noble literati in the current dynasty called "the place where the immortals gather treasures", and it is also the place where the literati of Nanzhao must pass when they go to Qingyun to find the wind and flow, the drizzle county in the middle of winter did not usher in the drizzle, but ushered in a grand blizzard, in this blizzard, the drizzle county ushered in an ox cart, a handsome boy, an ugly coachman and a pretty maid.

The surname of the county guard of Maoyu County is Chen Xianze, and the Chen County Shou, who was born in a cold door, learned of a secret order from above, this secret order is to welcome a son to his house, because the people sent by the Huizhou Prefecture did not explain the mysteries in detail, but even so, as an old man born in a cold family and who has been up and down in the sea for many years, he naturally understands what he should do as a county guard at this moment.

In the middle of winter, the county guard is as warm as spring, especially in the East Hall Snow House where the guests live, there is a continuous supply of Nanzhao's high-quality pear blossom charcoal every day to ensure the warmth of the house, and the halls of Nanzhao's rich and noble families will not be closed to death in the middle of winter, because it is necessary to pay attention to living water and luck, and it can be as warm as spring in such a winter day to see how much precious pear blossom charcoal has to be burned every day.

"Your Highness, how long do we have to wait here, although this county guard is a good place, but in the end it is still in the palace. ”

There is only one His Royal Highness in Nanzhao, that is the crown prince Song Yan, at this time Song Yan, who is weak-looking, is staring at the chess game on the table, and the chessboard carved from the fine rosewood exudes a deep luster.

"Liu'er, you said how much money a county guard has in a month, tell me how much this red sandalwood chessboard is worth. ”

Wearing a light green robe and a dark green coat, Liu Er did not have the temperament of a palace maid at all, but had a slight sense of dignity.

She slowly crossed to Song Yan's side, stared at the chessboard for a while, and said with a smile:

"The rouge I bought in Jinxiuxuan the day before yesterday cost thirty taels, so this one has to cost 300 taels of silver. ”

Song Yan got up slowly, picked up the thickened coat behind him, and said with a smile:

"Come out with me, you silly girl. ”

Xi'er grinned and followed behind His Highness, thinking that as long as His Highness was smart, I would be stupid.

The two of them slowly walked out of the snow house in the east hall, and walked outside the house, the cold wind blew and shrunk their necks, not far from the snow house, there was a guard with a sword in his bearing.

The guard said aloud:

"Lord County Shou said, no matter where you go to the guest, Ye Sheng will follow the guest around. ”

Song Yan nodded and said casually:

"Since Mr. has a life, let's follow"

Song Yan took Xi'er and walked slowly towards the outside of the county guard's mansion, and ten zhang away, Ye Sheng slowly followed.

......

There is a famous lake "Wolong" in Maoyu County, according to legend, Mo Gong, the founder of the Zhou Dynasty, fished here for three years of cold and summer, and then was enshrined as the ruler of Zhou Bochang, so countless literati in the south of the Yangtze River like to visit to the shore of this Wolong Lake, in order to be contaminated with luck.

On the shore of Wolong Lake in the middle of winter, there are still many people, the green mist rises on the wide lake, there is a pavilion every dozens of zhang by the lake, this is not the season of midsummer cooling, in the pavilion, there are still groups of literati, there are green shirts and famous jade swaggering collisions, there are shabby long shirts full of patches, obviously these literati students sitting near the lake have different family backgrounds.

Song Yan looked for a pavilion with a relatively small number of people, and there were two people in the pavilion who were playing against each other, but they were standing on the side and watching the chess game, but the strange thing was that one of the two people playing chess was a scholar-like man frowning at chess, and a maid was standing behind him, adding charcoal to the stove on the side.

And his opponent is a woman, behind the woman stands a young man with some black and gray hair, who thinks to be her attendant, Nanzhao noble women, whether it is an official eunuch or a profound scholar, is generally very strict with women's family education, these women go out, no matter where they go, they must have a special worship post to hand over to the other party, and the master's family arranges the meeting before they can go out, of course, those who hide from the family go out without permission.

Song Yan suddenly became interested, and when he got closer, the chess game was in the anxious stage, and from Song Yan's eyes, this game of chess turned out to be a chess win for this girl.

It is said that this wooden stool is specially made by the old county guard to order the craftsmen in the county town, the load-bearing capacity is not good, but it is better to carry, but the complex workmanship implies that this thing is not cheap, and ordinary people naturally can't afford this kind of flashy wooden stool, but the raid who lives in the county guard mansion naturally sees that this thing is very suitable for his Royal Highness, after all, every day the world likes to leave the county guard mansion and go out to hang around alone, with this stool, it is naturally much more convenient, no matter what new and interesting things His Royal Highness sees, you can have a stool to watch the play, and today is naturally no exception。

Ye Sheng looked at everyone from afar, feeling that Changqing's qi fluctuations were not very profound, so he didn't stop them.

As for standing in the pavilion to act as a guard for Yan Lingyu, he didn't care much, after all, when he accompanied Yan Lingyu to wander along the lake before, he met wave after wave of prodigal sons, Changqing finally understood why it was extremely difficult for these scholars to be the top students in high school, if they could use their brains to study, it was estimated that they would have been in high school a long time ago.

Changqing looked at the two self-acquaintances beside him, and at first glance they were rich and noble sons, you see, this will make his maid even take out the food box.

Song Yan watched the rise at this time, and couldn't help but say:

"This son, I think you can try the upper left 14 squares, and follow the Kun character chapter in "Pen and Ink on Chess" to break the game. ”

The young scholar was originally frowning, but when he heard the words, he was slightly stunned, his face was happy, and he dropped a word.

Seeing this, Yan Lingyu said angrily:

"You're so powerful, if you don't come, don't you know what it means to be silent watching chess. ”

Hearing this, Song Yan looked at Yan Lingyu, shook his head and said:

"I really don't know. ”

"Then you know now"

"I'm sorry. ”

Liu Er, who was behind Song Yan, was furious when she heard this, and was about to step forward to say something, but was forced back by Song Yan's eyes.

"I just watched this game be so exciting, so I was itchy for a while. ”

Yan Lingyu didn't want to continue to pay attention to what he meant, Song Yan smiled stupidly, and then fell silent.

In the distance, the water of the lake is rippling, and sometimes there are swimming fish paddling across the water.

Changqing was a little drowsy, so he wanted to ask Liu Er for some preserved fruit, but he was scolded back by the other party.

Both men were a little dumbfounded.

And the local scholar who played chess with Yan Lingyu finally defeated Yan Lingyu because of the difference between the three sons.

The other party simply got up and saluted and left the pavilion with his maid.

Only then did Yan Lingyu turn his head and say to Song Yan:

"You're not very good at chess, why don't you try it? ”

Changqing on the side said:

"Almost. ”

Yan Lingyu said coldly without looking back:

"One more game. ”

Changqing touched his head, not understanding how this woman's temper was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
