Alternative Jianghu Adventures

Blue sky and blue sea.

Yuan Mei never expected that he would be lucky enough to see a new world.

He grew up in Baicao Valley since he was a child, and he was accompanied by medical books and herbs since he was a child. Afterwards, he found that he was really not the material for this, so he was sent to be a hidden stake to connect Medicine Valley with the outside world.

Fortunately, he seems to be quite talented in managing and communicating, and he became the person in charge of the secret stakes in the capital and Yaogu at a young age.

Over the years, he lived in the inland and traveled around the Central Plains. His sincere heart to Baicao Valley can be learned from the sun and the moon, and all actions of Medicine Valley in the capital must be ordered by him personally.

He still remembered that about a month ago, he received a letter from Fei Ge from his family, saying that he was asked to pick up two people from the capital, and then personally escort them to Lixi.

It was already strange enough to respond, let alone "personally escort"?What is it that makes the owner of Baicao Valley willing to take the risk of Baicao's influence in the capital being suppressed by others?

However, all doubts disappeared after he saw the respondent.

On the day of the coup, he stood at the end of the secret passage leading to the outside of the palace.

The secret passage is extremely long, and even for fear of being hunted down, he didn't even leave a torch behind.Those who can walk freely must be familiar with this secret passage.

The waiting time is tedious.

His eyeliner is always watching every move in the palace - Lu Kun trapped the young emperor in the palace, threatened, persecuted, placed under house arrest, and killed.

In order to facilitate things, all the young emperor's concubines were trapped in one place. Then, the fire broke through the taboos of the palace. As long as the fire burned, the crying continued.

After waiting for a full day, he finally saw a man emerge from the depths of the corridor—accompanied by the person who came, there was also a sharp cry.

The man was panting heavily, his body was covered in blood, and he seemed to be at the end of his battle.

On his back was a handsome young man in fine clothes - he looked no more than ten years old, and he was crying on the man's back.And beside him, a little girl of similar age was sullenly, without saying a word, tightly grasping the man's dislocated right hand, which was hanging down weakly, and looking straight at Yuan Mei.

"Next, I'll leave it to you."

These were the last words the man said after he lost his strength and fell into a coma.

Only then did Yuan Mei know what kind of dispute he was entrusted to be involved in.

He naturally picked up the young master who was still weeping, and after a while, Xu Shi finally got rid of the fear in the tunnel, and the young master fell asleep on Yuan Mei's back.

But the little girl stared at Yuan Mei suspiciously, looked at his outstretched hand and said seven words coldly, "Can I trust you?"

can i trust you

Yuan Mei didn't expect the little girl who was only ten years old to show such eyes. She was obviously a brother and sister of a compatriot. The elder brother was exhausted, but the younger sister was still trying to stay on guard against a stranger who extended a helping hand to them.

To deal with this kind of child, Yuan Mei always used a kind tone to coax him.According to past experience, he would just nod with a smile and say firmly, "Yes."

But for this little girl, Yuan Mei opened her mouth and found that she couldn't fool her with a coaxing tone.He put away his smile, put on a serious face to the little girl, and said, "I will try my best, but you have no choice."

The little girl finally fell to the ground with a "boom", even in a coma, the corners of her mouth were tight and refused to relax.

What happened next was a matter of course. The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Yuan Mei raced against time to "turn" the two children into distant siblings, and boarded the merchant ship that had been surveyed in advance and went south to seek refuge—— It is a merchant ship, in fact, it is the fleet returning to Lixi. After the war in the north, the goods that can be traded are not as good as before, so a large area is vacated for refugees who are willing to spend money to take refuge.

Even if you are rich and well-clothed, as long as you embark on the road of leaving home in trouble, you are a refugee.

The wealthy people have already chartered their own boats and left, and the rest are probably ordinary people.Businessmen seek profits, so naturally the more people there are, the better.

Therefore, on this ship, although there are rich families who are slow to respond, most of them are ordinary people who barely make a living. There are more than ten people in seven or eight, and they don't even have a place to sleep in peace. They are head to toe and toe to head, and they don't need to rely on the boat to provide food.

But just because there are enough people, it also means enough safety.

The air was suffocatingly heavy.The only way to take a breather is to run to the deck and find a secluded place to stay in the sea of ​​people. If you can lean on the side of the boat, watch the fluctuating water surface, and blow the sea breeze on your face, it will be comfortable enough.

"I don't eat! I'm so tired of eating this all day! And I have to stay with this group of people every day. I really don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment!"

The little boy shrugged off the pancake that his sister handed him awkwardly, with his mouth so high that he could even hang up the oil pot, with a cynical look on his face.

He was dressed in a bunt made of gray linen, and there were even two lines of gray and black on his face, which looked like a poor family's attire.

——It's just that the eyebrows and eyes are too delicate, even if they are dressed in coarse clothes, they can't conceal the nobleness that the two children are born with from the bottom of their bones.

The girl remained in the posture of handing the cake in silence, "Brother, don't be angry, it's not like... at home. Look at the so many people sitting on the ground, more than half of them are almost out of food, you are still here How decent is it to pick and choose!"

"Chenghe system is also your use?" The boy was already angry, but he became even more furious when he heard this, and his tone as an elder brother was offended, "When will you be able to teach your elder brother a lesson? ..." The boy hurriedly shut up, swallowed the words "rules in the palace", and his tone was a little weaker, "Gong...that's what Auntie taught you? How dare you contradict your elder brother? You must know that I am the future of--"

"The pillar of the family in the future." The girl sneered, lest the boy get excited and say more disturbing news, "If the father knows that his only remaining son can't even suffer this little bit of hardship, he will lament the misfortune of the family. "

"You! What did you say!"

"Hey! Who's kid won't let anyone take a good rest!" A man who was resting in a corner patted the board of the boat heavily and shouted in a rough voice.

Sitting or standing next to him were two companions, dressed in ordinary clothes, but the real thing in their hands left a circle around them—it seemed that they were reckless men on the rivers and lakes, and they were the kind that could not be provoked.

Children's quarrels are always so noisy and unsurprising in the eyes of others-it's nothing more than a brat who can't bear to suffer and play petty temper, especially in the ears of this group of people who are exhausted from running for their lives. I don't care about other things.

"I'm sorry, I apologize for my child." Yuan Mei, who was blowing the sea breeze, hurriedly came forward to apologize, his eyes swept over the weapons of the three people calmly, except for a pair of sun and moon wheels, there were no other weapons.

...Could it be that there is only one Lianjiazi?

Yuan Mei moved the two little ghosts aside calmly, and thought to himself: No matter who it is, in short, it's better to be careful.

He brought the two little ghosts to the side of the boat, and asked the little girl directly, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, he doesn't eat."

Yuan Mei said: "Don't eat? That means you're not hungry, let's leave it alone, he will eat it naturally when he's hungry."

The boy made a face at the girl and snorted.

The girl didn't insist either, she took the food back silently, looked up at Yuan Mei, "Why?"

I have long been used to the little girl's secret language questions. Yuan Mei naturally knew that she was asking about boys. He stood with his hands behind his back and said earnestly: "Didn't Mr. teach you that 'things must be reversed'?"

If you talk too much, you won't be able to listen to it.

The girl shook her head, "My mother only asked me to learn those female virtues and precepts since I was a child, and I only handed over the rest to my brothers."

Yuan Mei was a little surprised, "Your behavior along the way is not at all like someone who has learned female virtue."

"I don't understand." A trace of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes, "I don't understand why...Father and mother want us to study separately, I can master what Mr. Ming taught, and occasionally my brother will show off in front of me what he learned. The things that they often take half a day to understand are very simple and abnormal in my eyes. I don't understand why I can't learn?

Those martial artists also... said that swords, guns and sticks are what my brothers learned, and what they threw at me were those terrible dogmas and rules. They only asked me to show some flowers on the round fan with embroidery needles, but I don't understand what these are. use?

The family has... the internal thieves are in turmoil, and the state-owned powerful enemies are rampant. As a child of my father, shouldn't I learn something about managing the country and saving the people?Just because I'm a daughter?The husband also said that women should not meddle in this aspect, saying that they are inherently inferior to men, but I can learn better and faster than them, why can't I learn the same thing? "

Yuan Mei was taken aback by the little girl's question. He took care of the two little ghosts as a teacher and teacher along the way, and occasionally answered the little ghost's questions, but he didn't expect the little girl to ask such a difficult question this time.

He thought for a moment, then smiled at the girl, "The person I respect the most is also a woman."

Yuan Mei rubbed the little girl's head, thought of Helian Qiu, paused and continued: "With a sick body, I can bear the burden of the whole family. The means are not inferior to that of a man, but also have the tenderness of a woman's compassion and gentleness. My sons and daughters have never been constrained by the distinction between men and women, even if someone thinks so, let them watch it. Those who are capable live, this is an eternal truth in the rivers and lakes."

"...I also want to go to Jianghu." The girl said enviously: "It sounds so good."

Yuan Mei blinked, "What do you think Jiang Hu is?"

The little girl was stopped by the question and couldn't answer for a while.

"Think hard, figure it out, and your previous question will be solved." Yuan Mei smiled, looked at the little boy who was having fun, and sighed bitterly.

He looked up at the fast-moving white clouds above his head, and there were thick dark clouds in the distance. He paused, "Go back to the house."

"The storm is coming."

Looking at the rapidly changing situation in the sky, Yu Ying asked Lan Sang who had just come out of the interrogation office: "How is it? Have you asked?"
