Han Shantong, the commander of the Red Turban Army in Anhui, personally wrote a letter to Qin Shuyuan, wanting to invite him to Anhui to discuss the alliance. If the rebels in the world can't share the same hatred of the enemy, they will inevitably be broken by the imperial army one by one, and then Hongyuan, who drives out the Tartars, will become a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water!

Jin Shaoyou knew that Han Shantong was insidious and cunning, and this trip must be more auspicious than lucky, so he suggested that Qin Shuyuan should not go. But what kind of character is Qin Shuyuan? Knowing that it is a tiger's den, he also wants to go and explore, if he doesn't go, won't the huge Jianghu people and righteous army be looked down upon by the heroes of the rivers and lakes!

Jin Shaoyou knew that he couldn't resist him, so he thought of a compromise and let Xiao Yanyu go to Anhui instead of Qin Shuyuan, firstly, with her title of "the first beauty in the rivers and lakes" and the identity of one of the "five saints" of the "Jianghu people" and the righteous army, Han Shantong would not feel that Qin Shuyuan did not pay attention to him;

So, on the day of the frost, Xiao Yanyu took Xiao Qingshan and Yang Wenyuan, as well as a hundred children of the "Jianghu people", with Qin Shuyuan's handwritten letters and a carriage of rare treasures, and marched towards Anhui!

Before leaving, Xiao Yanyu also found Liu Wuya, handed him the key to his "Listening to Yuxuan", and asked him to help take care of the daisies in the yard during the few days he left!

The autumn wind was bleak, rolling up the fine yellow sand, the vast distant sky became hazy, and the autumn sun lost its vigorous color, like a charcoal fire in a furnace, glowing with red light.

Xiao Yanyu, Xiao Qingshan and Yang Wenyuan rode side by side on the road. Xiao Qingshan was holding a withered grass in his mouth, bored, while Yang Wenyuan was sullen and didn't say a word. Xiao Qingshan looked at him dumbfounded, knowing that he was still sad because of Xiao Yanyu and Liu Wuya's affairs, and thought to himself: I can't let my brother be depressed anymore, find an opportunity to enlighten him, let him have a little confidence, and take his sister's heart back from that Liu Wuya's hands!

After walking more than ten miles, everyone was tired. Xiao Yanyu instructed everyone to find a flat place and sit down to rest. They found a place to rest on the bank of a small river. Xiao Yanyu sat on the bank, took a sip of water, and looked straight at the river in a daze. Yang Wenyuan sat far away from her, with his head down and not knowing what he was thinking.

Xiao Qingshan walked to Yang Wenyuan's side, sat down, and said, "What's the matter, Brother Yang, I see that you are sullen along the way, do you have something on your mind?

Yang Wenyuan didn't look up at him either: "What's on my mind, it's just that I heard that Han Shantong was sinister and cunning, I'm worried that this trip will not be good for us!"

"What a chivalrous young man with the world in mind!" Xiao Qingshan smiled and put his arm around his shoulder: "Wen Yuan! If it's a brother, don't pretend anymore, I can see that when you saw your sister to Liu Wuya that day, you already knew it! But so what, everything has not come to fruition, and it is too early to make a conclusion!"

Yang Wenyuan looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"What an elm head!" Xiao Qingshan tapped his forehead: "Don't you like your sister? If you like it, go for it! What's the use of sulking here alone?"

"Where did I say that I like Concubine Xiao!" Yang Wenyuan's face turned red: "I only have admiration for Concubine Xiao, don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay, good!" Xiao Qingshan sighed: "Even if you just admire your sister, you definitely want to attract your sister's attention!"

Yang Wenyuan nodded and said, "What you said is true, but I didn't want to attract Concubine Xiao's attention because I liked her!"

"I know, I know!" Xiao Qingshan shook his head helplessly: "Let me tell you, my sister had a hobby when she was a child, which was to play in the water." At that time, there were only mountain streams and lakes on Qilian Mountain, and the fun was very unsatisfying. You should be able to go floating! There's just a river here, you can try it!"

As he spoke, he picked up a smooth pebble and deliberately threw it towards the water in front of Xiao Yanyu. The stone plopped into the river with a thud, and the splash of water fell on Xiao Yanyu's body. Xiao Yanyu looked at Xiao Qingshan, and said, "Qingshan, what are you going to do!"

Xiao Yanyu knew that although his younger brother was as mature and stable as an adult in the eyes of others on weekdays, he was still like a child in front of him, and he loved to play around. Among these people, Yang Wenyuan was honest, and others didn't dare to offend her, so she immediately guessed that it was Xiao Qingshan who threw the stone!

Xiao Qingshan smiled: "I'm sorry sister, just now Wen Yuan said that he was very good at fighting, I didn't accept it, it's like comparing with him, who knew that he was born with timidity, which made Wen Yuan laugh!"

Sure enough, hearing that Yang Wenyuan would be adrift, Xiao Yanyu was very excited, stood up and ran in front of Yang Wenyuan, a handsome face was very close, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Wenyuan, is what Qingshan said true?

As he spoke, he actually grabbed his hand and pulled him up. Yang Wenyuan had received this kind of treatment, and his heart suddenly beat faster, his cheeks seemed to be congested, and his body stiffened.

When Yang Wenyuan was a child, he and his hometown partners often played water rafting by the river, so they naturally had a lot of experience. He picked a light, slightly flat stone, posed it, and with a flick of his wrist, the stone flew out from his fingers, landed on the surface of the river, stirred up a circle of water, and then bounced up and down, and so on four times before sinking to the bottom of the river.

Xiao Yanyu was shocked by his amazing technique, shouted excitedly, and hurriedly pulled Yang Wenyuan to teach him. Don't forget to ridicule Xiao Qingshan: "At your level, you still want to compare with Wen Yuan, listen to your sister's words, don't humiliate yourself!"

Yang Wenyuan told Xiao Yanyu all the experience he had learned over the years, and also helped her correct her posture, choose the right stones, and correct her mistakes. In this way, Yang Wenyuan even overcame the problem of being shy and blushing when he saw Xiao Yanyu!

Through Yang Wenyuan's help and many attempts, Xiao Yanyu finally mastered the skill of playing water rafting, and the stone sank to the bottom after stirring up five water lines on the water surface! Xiao Yanyu was happy like a child.

Xiao Qingshan sat aside, looking at the two of them who were playing, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sister, if I didn't think Wen Yuan was honest and reliable, I wouldn't have helped him like this." Actually, you don't know, since you left, Baichuan and I have often played, and the most powerful time is the seven-layer water pattern!

However, he buried these words in his heart and didn't want to say them, Qiu Feng seemed to understand what he meant, and he didn't want to say them!

......

A layer of water ripples, from the clear turquoise surface of Qinghai Lake, spread outward, the sun sprinkled on the surface of the lake, sparkling.

Qinghai Lake, also known as "Cuowenbu", is the meaning of "blue sea" in Tibetan, located in the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the lake is turquoise, the scenery is beautiful, the lake is surrounded by the vast grassland, since ancient times it is a good place for Tibetan herdsmen to graze!

The distant mountains are verdant, the grass beach is green, several huge tents stand in the middle, and herds of cattle and sheep graze and frolic in the grass beach, a peaceful scene.

The wind by the lake was very strong, blowing the green grass and green hills. A few five or six-year-olds were playing in the green grass in "legues". The complexion is dark, the face is red "plateau red", and the skin is also chapped by the wind and sun. They are the children of the herdsmen here, and they are herding sheep for the adults!

At this moment, on a boulder by the lake, sits a young girl. She was not wearing the herdsman's Tibetan clothes, but a white dress, which was a little thin in the cold wind. His face was also extremely fair and smooth, with black hair draped over his shoulders and a jasper hairpin inserted on it.

Her willow leaves bent her eyebrows, and her eyes were crystal clear, as if they contained countless stars in them. The face shape is a standard melon seed face, with a high nose bridge and rosy cherry lips.

She sat on a boulder and fiddled with a compass in her hand. After a long time, she raised her head, looked at the turquoise water of Qinghai Lake, and sighed softly!

"Look, it's Sister Xiaoyuan there!"

When several herdsmen's children saw the girl in white, they shouted excitedly, dropped the shepherd's leather whip in their hands, and ran over with a hula hula. When the girl heard the shouting, she raised her head and saw that it was a few of them, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Zhuoma, Yangji, Dunzhu, why are you here?"

The little boy named "Dunzhu" was lying on the stone, staring at the girl in white with a pair of big eyes, and asked, "We were shepherding sheep just now, and we happened to see Sister Xiaoyuan sitting here, so we wanted to come over and see what you were doing again." Sister Xiaoyuan, what are you doing? Are you casting a spell again?"

The girl in white named "Xiao Kite" snorted and laughed: "What kind of spell, I'm just sitting here thinking about things, Dunzhu, do you want to say that I'm a shaman!"

Dunzhu stared at a pair of big eyes and said with a pious face: "I heard from Amala that Bai Ji was sick a few days ago, and he couldn't be cured by looking for a shaman, and in the end, you went to cure his illness! Sister Xiaoyuan, you are much more powerful than a shaman!"

Xiao Yuan smiled sweetly: "Dunzhu, you are saying bad things about shamans behind your back, be careful to let him know to spank your ass!"

Dunzhu subconsciously covered his buttocks with both hands, and then smiled: "When the shaman really beats me, I will find Sister Xiaoyuan to save me!"

"You're so naughty, I'm not going to save you. Not only will I not save you, but I will also help the shaman beat you together!

Dunzhu pretended to look aggrieved, whining and crying, but it was only thunder and no rain, and the girl in white Xiao Kite laughed with Yang Ji and Zhuo Mahaha.

After a while, Dunzhu suddenly remembered something, and his little eyes rolled around, looking very clever, and he glanced at Zhuoma behind him. Dolma understood and pulled out a turquoise bead from her clothes. Dunzhu took it in his hand, and said to the girl in white with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyuan, Zhuoma and Yangji and I found a bead on the mountain a few days ago, it looks very good, and I think that only you can be worthy, and I want to give it to you!"

Dunzhu spread out his little hand, and the turquoise bead shone like jasper in the sun. The girl in white saw that the material should be jadeite, so she knew what they meant, held the beads in the palm of her hand, smiled with her eyebrows, and asked, "Say, do you have something to ask me!"

Dunzhu hurriedly shook his head and shouted: "No, no, we just think that this bead is only worthy of you, so we want to give it to you, and we don't have anything to ask you!"

Although he said it smoothly, the girl in white knew that once this Dunzhu lied, her eyes would squint to the left. She didn't debunk it, but pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "It turns out that this is the way, it seems that my sister has wronged you! Thank you!"

She got up and pretended to leave, which frightened the three children, and they all shouted, "Sister Xiaoyuan, don't go!"

The girl in white didn't plan to leave, but just wanted to tease the three ghosts, sat down again, looked at the three children, and asked, "You three troublemakers, tell me quickly, what's the matter with me?"

Dunzhu hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "We want to ask Sister Xiaoyuan to play the spell of 'Old Fish Dancing Wave Thin Jiao Dance' for us!"

The girl in white laughed when she heard this. It turned out that a few days ago, in order to coax these naughty and cute children, Miss Xiao Kite used internal force to urge the water of Qinghai Lake, and the fish in the lake jumped out of the lake one after another, which was very spectacular. Several children had never seen such a vision, and Xiao Yuan used internal force to explain that they couldn't understand it, so they simply said that they were using a spell, and gave it an elegant and nice name, which was called "Old Fish Dancing Wave Thin Jiao Dance"!

"Okay, it's really nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" Xiao Yuan smiled sweetly: "Okay, as the saying goes, the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short." You gave me such beautiful beads, and my sister will make an exception again!"

She stood up and walked to the lake, where the three children jumped up and down excitedly, following Xiao Kite's ass, their big eyes shining brightly. Xiao Kite stretched out her hand and scratched it on her chest a few times, and slapped it out with a palm, and the palm wind submerged into the lake, causing a layer of ripples.

The ten fingers of the kite-like moved together, and several splashes splashed on the surface of the lake, and several golden fish jumped out of the water, churning in the air, and then fell into the lake, and then jumped, and so on.

This is a fish endemic to Qinghai Lake, called Huangyu. Because the water quality of Qinghai Lake is salty, the growth environment of the fish is extremely difficult, and it takes more than ten years to grow into a big fish. Because the fish does not have scales, it is also called "naked carp". July and August are their spawning season, and a large number of fish migrate on the lake. But in late autumn, you can still see so many fish on the lake, except for Sister Xiaoyuan's spell, no one can do it!

The three children shouted excitedly. Xiao Kite controlled a few drops of water with her hand and dripped on the children's faces, the lake water was slightly cool, and the children were amused and giggled.

"Miss Kite!"

An old and stern voice sounded from behind, and Xiao Yuan was startled and hurriedly stopped. Several fish jumped in the lake and fell into the lake like fallen leaves, splashing several splashes, and then disappeared without a trace!

Xiao Yuan stuck out her tongue, turned around and smiled: "Lord Shaman, you are here!"

Behind them stood a rickety, gray-haired grandmother. She was dressed in a thick Tibetan garment, with a string of wooden beads around her neck, a cane, and her face was covered in wind and frost.

The three children were also startled, and lowered their heads and shouted, "Lord Shaman!"

There was a hint of displeasure on the old shaman's wrinkled face, and Xiao Kite also looked like she had done something wrong, lowering her head and sticking out her tongue, and the little girl's posture was fully displayed.

She has been here for almost three years and has been living with herders. Because she is from the Central Plains, she has mastered a lot of knowledge that herdsmen cannot learn. For example, when a herdsman is sick, he will think that it is a punishment from the gods, and then he will find a shaman. Shamans are messengers of the gods on earth, able to communicate with the gods, seek miracle medicines, and cure the diseases of the herdsmen. So shamans have a high prestige among herders.

But when Miss Kite came, everything changed. She had learned the art of Qihuang and knew that people's illness had nothing to do with the gods, so she often went to the mountains to collect herbs and cured many people's diseases. Therefore, the herdsmen's worship of the young kite girl gradually surpassed that of the old shaman.

Xiao Kite also knew that the old shaman had a grudge against her. was also reprimanded by the old shaman because she used to show off her martial arts in front of the children. Although the old shaman's prestige has diminished, the herdsmen will still listen to her words. Miss Xiao Kite lives here, so naturally she has to listen to the old shaman's words!

"Come with me!" the old shaman said and turned away. Xiao Yuan took a few steps to keep up, and her heart was pounding, thinking: It's over, this time it will be indispensable to be scolded!

The old shaman's tent was the smallest one on the south side. The girl followed the old shaman into the tent. The furnishings in the tent are also very simple, just a table, two chairs, and a bed. The bed was covered with a thick sheepskin, and around it hung a sheep's skull, beads, and a scimitar.

The old shaman sat in a chair, her chest heaving and panting because she was too old and tired to walk. Xiao Yuan stood aside, rubbing her hands together, like a child who had made a mistake.

The old shaman glanced at her and said, "Sit down!"

Miss Xiao Kite smiled: "Shaman, I'm still standing!

The old shaman sighed, shook his head, and said, "Do you think I came to you to scold you again?"

Miss Xiao Kite was very puzzled and thought: Isn't it?

The old shaman laughed, and the wrinkles on his face were all squeezed together: "Am I such a bad person in your heart? It seems that I am usually too strict and scare you!"

"What is there!" Xiao Yuan bent down and hugged the old shaman's arm and said, "Lord Shaman, you are very good, kind and reliable, and the herdsmen and I like it very much!"

The old shaman smiled: "The flamboyant girl will pick up the good ones to deceive me as an old woman!"

Xiao Kite actually didn't lie to her, the old shaman was such a person in the herdsmen and in her heart. Although the old shaman was jealous that Xiao Kite's prestige surpassed her, she was already a grandmother in her seventies and eighties. Just like an old child, not only does it not make people angry, but it feels cute!

Xiao Yuan walked around behind her, hugged her neck, and gently pressed her body against her back: "Lord Shaman, I know that I shouldn't show off my martial arts in front of the children, but I was helpless at that time!

"I'm not angry!" the old shaman's withered hand took the delicate and white hand of the young girl, and said, "Those children don't know, but you can't fool me." In addition to using profound internal force, you really used spells, didn't you really use spells in the 'Old Fish Dancing Wave Thin Jiao Dance' you performed for the children?"

Xiao Yuan exclaimed, let go of the old shaman and stood up straight, and asked, "Lord Shaman, how do you see it?"

The old shaman had a smug smile on his face: "Old woman, I am over eighty years old, and I have walked more roads than you have crossed, if you can't even see this, how can you do this shaman!"

Miss Xiao Kite seemed to be afraid that others would see her details, and she was very scared at first. But seeing that the old shaman just said it and didn't ask any more questions, a stone fell in his heart. He continued to bend down and hugged the old shaman's neck behind him, and said, "Yes, yes, Lord Shaman, you are well-informed, and you can see through it at a glance, which is really amazing!"

The old shaman was very helpful when he heard this, and smiled and squeezed the wrinkles on his face together, which was very kind.

There was the sound of light footsteps outside the tent, and three children rushed in, it was Dolma, Yangji, and Dunzhu. The three of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at the old shaman.

"Why are you here?" asked the old shaman.

The three children looked up in unison, their eyes filled with tears. Dunzhu looked at the old shaman with an aggrieved face, and said: "Lord Shaman, it is our fault that a few of us pestered Sister Xiaoyuan to let her perform spells, if you want to scold, scold us, don't scold Sister Xiaoyuan!"

Xiao Yuan listened to the children's words, and her heart was extremely moved. These children usually look naughty and mischievous, but they are very responsible. The old shaman pretended to look at them with a serious face, and said, "I'm not very old, but I'm very responsible! When did I say that I was going to scold you Sister Xiaoyuan?"

When the three children heard this, they all raised their heads, their eyes widened, and they looked at Xiao Kite with puzzled faces. Xiao Kite came over and squatted down, touched their heads, and said, "Thank you! The shaman called me to talk to her, not to scold me!"

Dunzhu wiped his tears and asked, "Really, Sister Xiaoyuan, you won't lie to us, right?"

Xiao Yuan smiled sweetly: "When did my sister lie to you, it's okay, go back to dinner!"

Dunzhu laughed happily and grabbed Xiao Kite's sleeve: "Sister Xiao Kite, go to my house for dinner! Grandma stewed mutton today!" looked at her expectantly.

Zhuoma and Yangji also pulled Xiaoyu's clothes separately and invited her to dinner. Xiao Kite was a little embarrassed by the kind invitation of the three children, and she didn't know what to do. The old shaman coughed and said, "All three of you go home, you sister Xiaoyuan will eat here with me today!"

The children were in awe of this miraculous old shaman, and when they heard this, they all bowed their heads. Xiao Kite promised them to go again next time, and the children suddenly blossomed again, and ran out of the old shaman's tent in a hurry!

The old shaman looked at Xiao Kite with a kind face, and said, "You are really loved by the children! I really didn't expect these naughty and mischievous guys to come to the house of the old shaman they fear the most to intercede for you!"

Xiao Yuan showed a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth: "They are all the children of the herdsmen, the herdsmen are all kind and simple people, and the children who are taught are naturally kind and simple!" She suddenly sighed again and said: "I don't want us in the Central Plains, people will ambush millions of corpses at every turn for the sake of rights, stirring up the bloody rain in the world." It's a paradise, and I really want to live here forever!"

The old shaman knew that she had something on her mind, and it was inconvenient for her to ask if she didn't say it. So he prevaricated on the grounds of cooking. As long as she doesn't want to, she won't be sad!

......

At night, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the tent was lit with oil lamps. Herders herded their sheep into the fold and closed the door to prevent the sheep from escaping. After a hard day's work, the herders began to prepare for rest. At this moment, the girl was sitting on a dirt slope, with green grass underneath.

Because of the emptiness of the grassland, the moon appears larger and rounder than seen in the Central Plains. The night breeze was very cool, and she put on a thick Tibetan dress, which Zhuoma sent to her in the evening, saying that her grandmother said that it was cold in autumn, and she was afraid that Xiaoyuan would catch a cold, so she asked Zhuoma to send thick clothes to keep out the cold.

Xiao Kite put on her clothes and felt very warm. She looked up at a bright moon, holding the compass in her hand, and the indescribable sentimentality in her heart. "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time", the moon has been a symbol of reunion since ancient times. Although tonight is not the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, looking at the moon at this moment, she still misses her hometown in the Central Plains!

"Sister Kite!"

A voice came from the bottom of the slope, and a little boy in a white Tibetan suit staggered towards her. Xiao Kite saw that it was Bai Ji, a Tibetan teenager she had cured a few days ago.

Bai Ji ran all the way up, tired and sweating profusely. Xiao Yuan was afraid that he would suffer from the cold, so she hurriedly wiped the beads of sweat for him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Ji gasped and said, "Sister Xiaoyuan, I saw that you weren't in the tent, so I knew you were here, so I came to look for you!"

It turned out that Xiao Kite had been living in Bai Ji's tent for the past few years. Bai Ji's father died very early, and there was only his mother and sister at home, so it was more convenient to live in her house.

Xiao Yuan smiled sweetly and asked him, "What are you doing here to find me?"

Bai Ji smiled: "I saw that Sister Xiaoyuan would sit here every night, so I wondered what Sister was doing here?"

Xiao Yuan smiled: "I'm looking at the moon!"

Bai Ji looked up at the big and round moon, and looked curious: "What is there to see about the moon?"

Xiao Kite said: "In our Han mythology, the moon lives with a good-looking fairy named Chang'e. She was the wife of the descendant of the great hero who shot down the nine suns in ancient times, because she stole the elixir given to the descendants by the Queen Mother, she flew to the moon and became the Guanghan fairy in the moon!"

Bai Ji hadn't heard of the myth of "Chang'e running to the moon", but he heard Xiaoyuan say that there was a good-looking fairy living on the moon. Bai Ji smiled: "Sister Xiaoyuan, have you seen that fairy?"

Xiao Yuan shook her head: "She lives on the moon, the moon is so far away from us, I must not have seen her!"

Bai Ji looked at Xiao Kite, with a pair of big eyes: "I think that Guanghan Fairy is not as good-looking as Sister Xiao Kite, Sister Xiao Kite is the real fairy!"

Xiao Yuan was amused by him and laughed, and gently knocked his head: "You little villain, you can make girls happy at such a young age, and you can still do it when you grow up!"

Bai Ji suddenly looked at Xiao Yuan very seriously, and said, "Sister Xiao Yuan, I must marry you as my daughter-in-law when I grow up, I want to grow up early, become a man, and stand in front of you to protect you!"

Xiao Yuan hugged him in her arms and said, "Okay, Bai Ji wants to marry my sister, and my sister is very happy." But I'm afraid that when Bai Ji grows up and his sister is old, Bai Ji won't look down on his sister at that time!"

Bai Ji smiled and turned his head to look at Xiao Kite: "No, my sister is a fairy, and fairies will never grow old!"

One big and one small, two people, in this cold autumn night, it is actually very warm!
