After descending Yujing Mountain and heading west, the peaks and hills gradually disappeared, replaced by endless plains.

Seeing a dead horse run over a mountain, not to mention Song Mingzhe, who is walking on two strong legs with a mortal body, looking at the sky with tears and speechless.If I had known that the journey was so far away and the journey was difficult and dangerous, I should have washed Duan Wang's mansion with blood.

Song Mingzhe has never discovered that he is so ingenious and can weave barely visible hats out of soft branches.At night when he couldn’t find the village, he held the most valuable short dagger in his body, found an old jujube tree with a crooked neck, climbed up, and said silently: I am a little dragon girl, I am a little dragon girl, I am possessed by magic, and I can sleep on a rope bed .Then I lay on the tree half asleep and half awake all night with peace of mind.

Whoever said that it is useless is a doctor. Song Mingzhe couldn't help but look for varieties that can satisfy his hunger from wild grass mushrooms and wild fruits. This mushroom will be paralyzed after eating, but it looks good, so I will take a look.Song Mingzhe left a sad man's saliva on the poisonous mushrooms, and after eating sour fruits for several days, his stomach was rumbling and he needed hot food and vegetables.

He leaned on a branch that had been peeled off as a crutch, and walked in the direction of the smoke, full of hope, not far away.

I hope there are fragrant white flour steamed buns, but if it is not possible, Guokui will do. Fry two vegetables and have a bowl of hot soup. Song Mingzhe has lived like a savage for more than ten days. He smells the smell of food, even if he breaks his leg, he still hugs his thigh He refused to move even if he died.

Without warning, the raindrops hit Song Mingzhe's head, shoulders, and back heavily, causing slight pain.Song Mingzhe bared his teeth and ran towards the village in sight. The most beautiful thing is not a rainy day, it's all nonsense. Of course you can enjoy the rain scene while standing under the eaves!

With the noise at the entrance of the village, Song Mingzhe slowed down and shook off the muddy water splashed from his hat. The scene in front of him made him quite at a loss.

All the men in the village seemed to be gathered together, no matter what they were wearing, they were all wearing red scarves. The fiery red color was clearly distinguishable in the night.Everyone was holding torches, looking nervous, and the torches lined up in a long line, extending to somewhere outside the village.

Did I break into some sacrificial occasion? Song Mingzhe walked along the wall, walked into the village, and found an old woman half squatting outside.

Hey, Song Mingzhe hesitated for a quarter of an hour before carefully poking the aunt's shoulder with his fingertips, "Dare to ask this aunt what happened here."

The aunt looked up at the sky she had missed, and grinned toothlessly, "Lord Dragon is angry, our place is going to be flooded, and no one can escape."

The straw hat in Song Mingzhe's hand slumped to the ground, rolled a few times on the ground, and finally stopped, and was wet by the rain a few times, turning into a puddle of soft mud.

This man is so unlucky that he can get stuffed between his teeth after drinking cold water.

"Guest officer, look after me—" The shop waiter poured the egg liquid onto the hot pebbles in the stone pot on the table, the egg liquid danced and turned into a thin layer of golden yellow, and immediately several pairs of chopsticks stretched into it, The egg skin was separated in a few strokes.

Xiao Yuchun stopped his chopsticks, and Xu Chong, the youngest son of Taiwei Xu, turned to talk to him, "Have you heard that the palace is very noisy now, it is said that Concubine Chen has offended the Queen Mother, and the Empress Dowager has already cried and fell down in front of the royal family gone."

Xiao Yuchun wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, "Nonsense, we also discussed the secrets of the palace ban?" The tone of his speech was without any trace of blame, Xu Chong stuffed his mouth full of cherry and rabbit meat, and rolled his eyes.

"The prince is teasing me. Everyone knows about it. The imperial hospital saw Tian'er running into the queen mother's palace, but the officials just didn't make a statement. The people who were pretending to be sick and pretending to be sick are really sick." .”

Xiao Yuchun took a sip of Lianhuabai, "The government also had a headache in the past, and it's been the third round of quarreling between Lichang and Lixian. According to this trend, I'm afraid the prince will have a fishy body on his back and jump into the water to wash it off." Unclear."

Unexpectedly, Xu Chong put on a flattering smile and filled Xiao Yuchun's wine glass. Although the night was dark, there was still a small iceberg in the box, so the doors and windows were closed and the room was full of coolness without feeling stuffy.

"Brother is really tired of hanging up idle jobs. I don't know if the little prince can help you to go to the imperial court for activities. At least you can get acquainted in front of the officials?"

Deep satisfaction flashed in Xiao Yuchun's eyes, "Uncle Shi always told me that I was worried that you were not motivated enough, it was just that you couldn't see flowers and plants in your eyes, now I should congratulate Uncle Shi."

Xu Chong made a grimace, "If I don't say anything, my father might just take me to some corner and call it exercise. At least I can do it myself, at least pick a comfortable place!"

Xiao Yuchun raised his wine glass, facing the soft light of the bead lamp, appreciating the amber-like light of the wine in the glass.Here is just ordinary porcelain, and luminous cups of grape wine and wine can be seen everywhere in the palace, but there is a more sinister heart in the stomach under the rich clothes and jade food. The world inside and outside the palace is completely different.

He was slightly drunk, sitting on the carriage home, humming an unknown tune he heard from Song Mingzhe, and patting the carriage for the time.

Xifeng, who was driving the carriage, curled his lips and asked him to say that the master sometimes suffers from a disease called obsession.For example, when I was a child, I raised a tortoiseshell cat, and it clearly followed the raccoon cat next door to me, but ignored my master, and my master eagerly asked the servants to make fish every day and bring it to him.Let's take another example about Song Mingzhe, this footless bird has already flown away, but the master just feels that he will come back tomorrow, and don't forget to keep an extra portion if he has something delicious and fun.

Xifeng thought, why bother, relying on his identity as master, he waved his hand, Huanfei Yanshou didn't look so thin, why bother to hang himself on this fig tree.

Song Mingzhe stood on the embankment with complicated emotions.In my previous life, I had seen so many scenes of fighting against floods, and I always had the illusion that man was conquering the sky. Now when I stand alone in front of the torrential flood, I feel the insignificance and powerlessness of man.

If I die here, no matter how powerful the surname Xiao is, he won't be able to find me, right?Song Mingzhe gritted his teeth and picked up the bag of sand and soil, and together with the villagers, they stepped on the narrow field ridge and transported it to the critical place.

"Why is it my little treasure? He doesn't understand anything!" A thin village woman hugged the child in her arms tightly and refused to let go. The one-year-old child snatched it.

"Heaven above!" The hoarse voice echoed, and Song Mingzhe put down the sandbag on his shoulders, as if he was infected by the surrounding emotions.There are expressionless faces, only the eyes are fanatical, as hot as molten iron.

While the village woman was crying in despair, the child was thrown into the other side of the embankment by a wizard with feathers on his head and dancing strange steps. The turbulent waves turned up the earthy river mud and swallowed the child in the blink of an eye.

As soon as Song Mingzhe wanted to intervene, two strong men blocked his steps forward.

"Good weather!" The village head took the lead and knelt down. Song Mingzhe watched helplessly as the child's life was taken away in an instant, and all the people in front of him were left with heaving backs and heads.He stood there, as if he had been immobilized, without moving at all.This is a completely different world from the capital, wild and unreasonable, and he tasted a bit of blood in his mouth.

As an adult man who helped maintain the dam at night, Song Mingzhe also got the treatment of a steamed bun with miscellaneous grains and a bowl of red, green and green stir-fried vegetables. He found two thin branches of similar thickness and length, and wiped them on his cuffs. Wipe it, and ate it voraciously.

Not long after the child was thrown down, the rain gradually subsided. Except for a few men on duty who were still guarding the embankment, the others could come back to eat and rest in turn.

This must be a coincidence, Song Mingzhe hadn't finished swallowing a steamed bun, and a man from the village came to report him out of breath.

"Everyone go to a higher place, the second daughter-in-law of the Yu family is crazy, crying and calling Bao'er, and dig a hole in the embankment! Brother Zhu is leading people to block it, if it can't be blocked, everyone run quickly."

Song Mingzhe didn't hold any of the rice bowls in his hand, and fell to the ground with a clang, breaking into two halves.But at the moment, no one pointed at him and scolded him. With such a big gap, it would cost a few cents to nail a bowl.

Song Mingzhe didn't care about his job, and rushed to the door with a brisk walk. The low-lying part of the village was already submerged by yellow water. There were fleeing animals, crying women and children, and there were crying babies in wooden basins coming along the water. , I don’t know who’s yellow dog is standing on the roof and barking in horror.

Human life is worthless, human life is like worthless!In the face of floods and natural disasters, human beings are nothing more than humble ants and reptiles. God is a little unhappy, but for this small group of people, it is a catastrophe.

A small stream of water flowed through the flower root, and it was about to submerge a small ant nest. A few ants scrambled and climbed up a leaf in a panic, and were washed away to the unknown in the distance.

The shower in Xiao Zhuozi's hand was not accurate, and he was pouring water on the roots of the rose flowers. He huddled behind the rose bushes, carefully spying on the concubine Chen who was playing with the maid not far away.

Concubine Chen is not at all different from other empresses in the main palace. People walking by are sitting upright, wishing to take a ruler to measure the angle and size at any time.Concubine Chen took the little maid to play shuttlecocks in the imperial garden, and kicked hundreds of them in one go, her beautiful face was stained with a layer of crimson, like flowers with dewdrops, a different style.

No wonder the officials loved it so much, Xiao Zhuozi realized with conscience that he changed the direction of the shower and let the poor rose go, but the peonies next to him were in bad luck.

"Oh!" Concubine Chen just sprained her foot, and before Xiao Zhuozi had time to probe, someone who shouldn't have rushed over.

"Is the mother concubine sprained?" Although Yanchang County King maintained a physical distance, his attitude showed a trace of intimacy.

"Well," Concubine Chen lowered her head, like a little girl who has been wronged, "Your Majesty has no time to accompany me today, and I am bored by myself, so I can only walk a little in the imperial garden." Her face was flushed with natural color, compared to In the past, the concubine with thick makeup and pale complexion was a hundred times stronger.

The king of Yanchang County was in a trance, and the ghost sent his hand out, but he came to his senses in mid-air, and he was about to shrink back.Who knew that Concubine Chen smiled and naturally stood up with the help of King Yanchang.

"Trouble my son." The tone was pretending to be serious, and she couldn't help making a grimace as she spoke. The Yanchang King put his eyes back on the tip of his shoes neatly, but there was a soft smile on his face. It cannot be fooled.

Xiao Zhuozi swallowed, oh my god, where did this come from, dig a hole now, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five, is there still time to bury yourself in it?

While thinking wildly, suddenly my ears hurt, and I instinctively looked up to see Concubine Chen's beautiful face facing the sun, and the drum in Xiao Zhuozi's heart played a chaotic melody of ups and downs.

"People have gone far, what are you still eavesdropping on here?"

Xiao Zhuozi looked around, and sure enough, there was no longer the figure of Yanchang County King, and even the palace servants accompanied by Concubine Chen were standing far away among the flowers.

"The three-legged bird has appeared, and the white rabbit and the red bird are taking advantage of it to leave. You belong to the White Rabbit branch, right? The peonies in the garden are about to be watered to death by you. You have also taken care of the flowers and plants these days, and you have been trying to find out the news. Who the hell? The one who brought you out as a teacher should be hit!"

The concubine Chen who said this no longer had the shyness of a young girl, her chin was raised slightly, and she was as proud as a white peacock from a foreign land in the garden, her unique arrogance was very similar to a person Xiao Zhuozi was familiar with.

Xiao Zhuozi answered vaguely, put down the shower, and wiped his body with muddy hands.Concubine Chen pressed his hand, took out her exquisite embroidered handkerchief, wiped the stains on his hand, and took the opportunity to write a word "pure" on the palm of his hand.

Concubine Chen glanced at him, the fierceness and calculation in her eyes were in a pair of eyes as clear as stream water.Xiao Zhuozi trembled imperceptibly, and the words "femme fatale" came to mind.

"If your master doesn't come to see you in person tonight," Concubine Chen Cherry's sweet words spit out like a baby, "I will make his life worse than death."

Xiao Zhuozi knelt down with a plop, the ground was covered with soft soil, but he didn't feel any pain in his knees.

Concubine Chen threw the dirty handkerchief on the ground, and said something to the maidservant: "How does this needleworker do things? He knows that I don't like peonies, but these are all peony patterns."

The court lady with a voice like an oriole flattered her one after another, "Although the peony is good, the flowering period is not long. It is not as good as the rose in three seasons of the year. Let me tell you, the one who laughs last is the one who is proud."

Xiao Zhuozi knelt on the spot, watching Concubine Chen go away.

It was night, and the concubine Chen was leaning on the railing alone, teasing a pool of koi with broken snacks in her hand.There is a bright moon painted on the forehead, and the makeup is lightly applied, which is dazzling.

A little eunuch with no winks bent over and approached with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, do you want to fetch some fish food for you?"

Concubine Chen's face was indifferent, and she didn't say a word yet.The little eunuch straightened up, it was Xiao Yuchun, the heir of Prince Duan.

"You're finally willing to come and meet." Concubine Chen smiled coquettishly, half covered her lips with her white hands, and slid her eyes at Xiao Yuchun.

"Yueniang, you are becoming more and more ignorant. In a place like the Royal Garden, you seduce the King of Yanchang County in broad daylight. Do you know—" Xiao Yuchun's voice was low and hasty.

"I know, I know, he is an important pawn for us in the future, but it's been a long time since I entered the palace?" Yueniang bit her lips, "If it wasn't like this, you wouldn't take the risk of coming to see me, Isn't it?"

"Pa—" Xiao Yuchun slapped Yueniang on the face with a palm, but Yueniang took the opportunity to hold Xiao Yuchun's hand and press it on her face.

Xiao Yuchun pursed his lips in anger and withdrew his hand, "If there is such a thing again, you know how we treated traitors back then."

He squeezed his voice and shouted, "Since the empress doesn't need the servant, the servant will get out."

Yueniang stayed where she was, tears falling down, and I don't know how long it has passed.

Her chin was suddenly pinched roughly, "Hey, who made our Concubine Chen unhappy."
