Chapter 7: Green Water and Clear Water (7)
Volume 14 Chapter 7 (7)
There was nothing to say, and in less than half an hour, Shashi was already in sight. Shajin, located in the lower reaches of Jiangling fifteen miles, boats and boats on the river come and go, often land here, although it is not like Gangneung Mansion City sweating into rain, brushing sleeves into clouds, but it is also a hundred boats competing for the stream, back and forth like a shuttle. The three-masted boat that Liao Shuiqing took was mixed in the middle of the passenger and cargo ships entering and exiting the ferry, and it did not seem to be anything special at all, after arriving at the shore, Liao Shuiqing only took Lao Gu and Lu Qi off the boat, and there was already a chief steward and servant of the other courtyard on the dock with a carriage and horse to greet him, Lao Gu personally took the whip, and the group galloped towards the direction of Jiangling.
Lao Gu seems to be very familiar with this section of the journey, with a whip in his hand, without hesitation, to the suburbs of Jiangling, and turn to the north, Yue Du Mo, but more than ten miles away, then to the edge of the long lake, there is a farm on the shore of the lake, at a glance, there are dozens of houses in different heights, there is no wall around it, just all over the mulberry ~|withered, but it is still full of interest, which makes people infinitely reverie.
Get off in front of the village, Liao Shuiqing took Lu Qi to walk inward, Lu Qi couldn't help but look left and right, only to see that this farm is worthy of its name, all the houses are thatched mud walls, not a brick and a tile can not be seen, the road between the houses is paved with a thick layer of triple soil, which is rolled and pressed flat like a mirror, the vegetable ditches on both sides are crisscrossed, the ditches and the road are intersected with bluestone slabs for walking, the canal water is drawn from the nearby lake, it is clear to the bottom, and there is no trace of corruption, the flowing water is murmuring, like the rhyme of the piano.
Lu Qi followed Liao Shuiqing and walked towards the largest hut in the middle, secretly looking at the surrounding scenery as she walked. Although she is not as proficient in mathematics as Liao Shuiqing, she is also quite insightful in the battle array, and as soon as she enters the farm, she finds that these scattered houses are not built arbitrarily, and the horns are connected, which is secretly in line with the direction of the innate gossip. If a strong enemy is attacking from outside, he can deal with ten times the enemy by simply taking the house and defending it with a bow and crossbow, and the staggered ditches and vegetable furrows separate the various parts of the farm like a net. If the elbow and armpit are changed, it is enough to trap the enemy and minimize the loss. Such a farmstead looks like a paradise on the surface. In fact, it was a murderous lurking, and Lu Qi saw it in her eyes, and her heart was secretly shocked.
Entering the village, Lu Qi was led by the maid to a thatched hut located in the back to rest. Although this thatched hut is simple on the outside, it is unique on the inside, although it is not magnificent, but it is also Tsinghua Yajie. The mica whitewashed walls are as smooth as mirrors, the mulberry planks on the floor exude a faint fragrance, and the tables, chairs and beds are all ~ pens, which shows that although this place is only a courtyard. But it was still painstaking, although Lu Qi and Liao Shuiqing met for the first time, they also faintly found that this Han princess actually didn't value things outside her body, or she would casually integrate the array into the manor building, but she might not have the dexterity to arrange the furnishings of the courtyard, and she didn't know whose intention it was to take care of a courtyard that was only for temporary rest so elegantly, her eyes swept over a few pieces of wooden furniture, and Lu Qi nodded thoughtfully.
After Lu Qi rested, the maid of her own courtyard came to serve, bathed and changed clothes and served exquisite meals, although she had to be taken care of by Ximen along the way, but the hard work between the wind and dust trek is needless to say, plus after meeting Liao Shuiqing, a word touched the heart, at this time it was already physically and mentally exhausted, and after a hurried meal, he rushed to the bed and fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the moon outside the window was dark and the stars were sinking, it was already pitch black, and the green qi and blood were insufficient, so she had always slept lightly, and she could only sleep for two or three hours at most, but seeing that the night was so deep, she had probably slept soundly for five or six hours, and she couldn't help but be surprised, and suddenly remembered the cup of fragrant tea after the meal, the color was clear and blue, the fragrance was faint, and her heart moved.
Lu Qi naturally did not suspect that Liao Shuiqing had evil intentions, but she couldn't help but be secretly vigilant, got up and turned on the silver lamp on the table, and saw a set of lake-green brand new women's clothes on the chair, and her clothes full of wind and dust had long disappeared, but the things she carried were all held in a boxwood tray and placed under the lamp, Lu Qi hesitated slightly, then put on new clothes, got up and pushed the door and walked out.
Just out of the thatched house, a fresh cold air will come to the face, Lu Qi does not feel refreshed, the thatched hut is very well soundproofed, in the room only feel a silence, silent, but go to the house, a burst of sound waves are rolling from far and near, the cold wind blows the sound of the rope of the dry branches, the murmuring sound of the canal flowing, there are bursts of black cry in the distance, all kinds of sounds are fused together, outlining a quiet night scene, people do not feel intoxicated.
Lu Qi listened quietly for a moment, until her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and then she raised her eyes to look around, only to see the houses in the darkness scattered from her own perspective
It is difficult to see the whole picture of the courtyard, most of the thatched huts are dark, even if there are lights, they are also covered, only the big house in the middle is bright, and the terrain is the highest, although there are also houses to block it, but the sight is not hindered at all, Lu Qi's heart moved slightly, and he walked towards the bright light.
As soon as he took a dozen steps, two figures flashed out of the darkness of the house, pressed their blades in their hands, and asked in a low voice: "Who walks without permission, has he forgotten the rules?"
Lu Qi had already expected that someone would patrol the guards, so she stopped unhurriedly and said lightly: "The little girl wants to ask to see Mr. Liao, I don't know if she can pass it on her behalf?"
The two black shadows were slightly stunned, and one of them stepped forward and said: "It turned out to be Miss Luqi, Mr. once instructed that if Miss Luqi wakes up, she can go to see her at any time, and Miss please come down with your subordinates." ”
Lu Qi said slightly: "Late night disturbance, thank you for your guidance." After that, he followed the guard to the big house, although Lu Qi's residence was not far from the big house, but the guard led Lu Qi around the east and west, Lu Qi didn't say a word, just walked silently, and only glimpsed the light from the corner of his eyes to the left and right, but it was always clearly visible, knowing that there was the center of the formation. She also knows the key to the layout of the formation, where the central position is firmly defended, although it is not far away, if it is really going directly, it is close to the end of the world, and only by going back and forth like this can it be safely reached.
In a few moments, the two of them finally walked to the front of the big house, and the guards were gone, leaving Lu Qi alone to stand in front of the door, and the bright light sprinkled down on the front of the steps through the high window, pulling Lu Qidi's shadow into a slender shape. Lu Qi stood in front of the door for a long time, but finally didn't have the courage to reach out and push the door, when she just woke up, she saw that *** did not stop, so she wanted to come to see, and she only felt that it was a matter of course, but when she got closer, she thought that the night was dark, and she would not disturb Liao Shuiqing's rest, and she couldn't help but have a lot of scruples.
Just when she hesitated, the door opened silently, Lu Qi was slightly startled, and looked up to see Lao Gu standing at the door expressionlessly, with a pang in his heart, and was about to explain his intention, but Lao Gu had already stepped aside and said in a low voice: "Come in, don't be silent." ”
Lu Qi smiled apologetically, walked into the room with light steps, Lao Gu immediately closed the door, led Lu Qi through several curtains, into the inner room, just picked up the last bamboo curtain, Lu Qi felt that her eyes were flowering, and the dazzling starlight like beads and jade flashed in front of her eyes, bright and bright, dizzying. It wasn't until she looked at it that she found that there were eight one-person-high copper mirrors in front of her in front of her in a semicircle, and there were several *** burning in front of each copper mirror, and more than a dozen bright and dazzling *** mirrored each other in the mirror, becoming dozens, hundreds, endless, and on a soft couch in the middle, a beautiful and beautiful girl's clothes were half faded, and she was lying prone on the dark red Shu brocade futon with her eyes closed, and her skin was as white as jade Under the shining light, dozens of golden needles pierced her back deeply, and the dripping sweat on her forehead was clearly visible, and Liao Shuiqing was holding a golden needle in her hand, and she was slowly stabbing down to the "body pillar" point of the girl's vest, she was only wearing a moon-white middle dress, but there was still sweat on her forehead, and she looked very tired.
Lu Qi then understood why Lao Gu was silent, it turned out that Liao Shuiqing was administering needles to people, this situation naturally could not be disturbed, she did not dare to move, so she stood in the corner that would not interfere with Liao Shuiqing's vision and watched carefully, only to see Liao Shuiqing drop the needle like a continuous spring rain, there is almost no gap, often a needle from the square, the other needle has been pricked, or twisted needle, or flat needle, some use the needle to pull out, some have to stop the needle, the technique is complex and changeable, it is really unheard of, in addition to the eight veins of the strange meridian, but also in several places outside the hidden acupoints and forbidden points have dropped the needle, Lu Qi has been ill for a long time into a good doctor, and the way of acupuncture is also a little bit known, Knowing that those needles are often life-threatening, but after Liao Shuiqing used the needle, the beautiful girl just moaned in a low voice, and there was nothing unusual, seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but secretly admire Liao Shuiqing's needle technique, and her confidence in Liao Shuiqing's ability to cure Qingping's body was even stronger.
After taking off the last needle, Liao Shuiqing exhaled a long breath, took a hot sweat towel, wiped his face, and said with relief: "Okay, after using this "Nine Needles of the Soul", Qianqian's injury is no big problem, Lao Gu, the prescription I prescribed to her when I used the needle last time, let her take it for three months, the good medicine is bitter and good for the disease, and I ordered her to go down, no one is allowed to condone Qianqian, you must watch her drink the medicine, and she is not allowed to secretly pour out the decoction." ”
