September is full of flowers

Seeing two shadows outside cast on the silk door, Shen Man frowned slightly and said, "This group of people don't know what they want to do, they are a bit mysterious."

Tang Jiuyue's complexion was not good, and her head was still aching. She rubbed the center of her eyebrows and said, "No matter what you do, since you've already come up, just sit and wait with peace of mind. Someone will come to us."

Shen Man stared at her, "Miss Tang, your face is ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

Tang Jiuyue coughed, covered her mouth and nose and said, "I'm afraid I really have typhoid fever." By the way, she raised her eyes to look at Shen Man, thinking that she was the one who fell down in the snow, why did she catch the cold?What's more, after eating half of the centipede, the ancient book said that the black-blooded centipede of Mangshan Mountain is extremely strong and tonifying, and it can't resist even a little wind and cold. It seems that it may not be as miraculous as the ancient book said.

Shen Man came over to help her sit down, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.He moved the stove in the house to Tang Jiuyue, then turned around in a circle, and finally carried a roll of blankets over Tang Jiuyue's body, squatted at her feet and asked eagerly, "Is it warmer now? I'll go and see See if there is any ginger soup."

Tang Jiuyue saw her busy, and remembered her mother's voice when she was a child.The children of the Tang family have always been strong and never show weakness to others.It is common to experience in the rain in the storm or to walk barefoot in the cold winter months.My father never cared a bit about it, only my mother would come over to make ginger soup for her in the dead of night when everyone was quiet, and cover her bedding for her.Then he touched her forehead gently, smiled and said to himself, "Xiao Jiu, you will be fine tomorrow, you are a reassuring child, it doesn't matter."

Tang Jiuyue likes the way her mother smiles under the light the most. Her palms are warm and carry the unique smell of her mother. Whenever she gets sick, she will sleep peacefully in this smell.No matter what kind of wind and rain the next day, as long as she sees her mother standing in the corner and staring towards this side, she will grit her teeth and persevere.

"Miss Tang——" Putting her hands on Tang Jiuyue's forehead, Tang Jiuyue raised her eyes a little, and what caught in her pupils was a beautiful young girl, with a pair of delicate eyebrows and eyes looking at her with concern.Shen Man asked, "You seem to have a fever, I'll ask someone to make some hot soup to dispel the cold."

Shen Man got up to leave, Tang Jiuyue felt that the warmth from her forehead had lost just now, and saw the corner of her clothes being pulled away on the ground.

"Oh?!" Shen Man felt that the corner of his clothes was being pressed by something, and when he looked down, he saw a boot toe stepping there.Shen Man was almost tripped, and asked a little strangely, "Miss Tang, do you have other things?"

Tang Jiuyue shook her head. In fact, she was also a little puzzled why she stepped on Shen Man's clothes.So he frowned and raised his feet slightly.

Seeing that she had let go, Shen Man continued to move forward, but when he tried hard, he was stopped by a force behind him, so he was caught off guard and fell to the ground in embarrassment.This is the second time she has been tripped by Tang Jiuyue like this, the first time in the snow, and the second time here.

"Tang...Miss Tang..."

Tang Jiuyue showed a hint of guilt on her face, but she turned her head quickly and said calmly, "You should stay here, if you get into trouble again, I can't guarantee your safety with my current state."

Shen Man blushed, she repeatedly forgot that this was a dream, and the lives of the people she saw had nothing to do with them.Even if the woman who fell into the water died, it didn't matter, but if something happened to her and Tang Jiuyue, something really happened.

"Shen Man," Tang Jiuyue said seriously after a long time, "You still need to change your temperament."

"Well," Shen Man listened humbly, "I know, this is a dream, and I will never think about saving people again."

"Not only here, but also outside."

"Huh?" Shen Man looked at Tang Jiuyue, saw her serious expression, and blurted out, "Shouldn't you help someone who is in trouble?"

Tang Jiuyue took a sip of hot water slowly, "It's not that we don't want to save him, but we should do what we can."

Shen Man lowered his head in shame, thinking that what Miss Tang said was right, in order to help others, one should first be capable, if one does not have the ability and forcefully wants to favor others, it may be counterproductive, and they may not be grateful.As far as the current situation is concerned, in order to save the woman who fell into the water of unknown origin, people don't appreciate her, and even Miss Tang is forced to be trapped here, which really hurts others and harms herself.

Tang Jiuyue thought she was angry when she saw that she was silent.Just as I was about to ask, I heard Shen Man whispering over there, "Miss Tang, please teach me the way of yin and yang in the future, and I will work hard to live up to your expectations."

Tang Jiuyue moved her mouth, originally she wanted to say "I don't have any hope for you", but then she thought that it would be too shocking for me to do so, and it's better not to offend the people around you who are willing to take care of you when you are sick.So he swallowed such words abruptly, changed his tone and let out an "um".

Suddenly feeling a slight vibration, Tang Jiuyue lowered her head to look at the water in the glass, and the water was rippling away from the center.Tang Jiuyue said, "Strange."

Shen Man leaned over and said, "We're on the boat, it's normal for the water to sway."

"It's normal if it's slanted to the left, but it's a bit wrong to rip from the middle."

Shen Man lay on the ground and listened for a while, "There seems to be something under here, it's this thing that's moving."

Tang Jiuyue thought about it, and said indifferently, "Probably so."

"Is there another monster hidden in this boat?" Shen Man touched his chin and said, "We have been in danger along the way, and I won't be surprised if we encounter any monsters. It's just where are they going and what does this monster do? Use, who is the owner of this boat?"

Tang Jiuyue said helplessly, "Why do you have so many questions?" She remembered that Shen Man was not like this before. Could it be that because Qing Ning was not around, Shen Man naturally inherited Qing Ning's talkative physique and became Qing Ning No. [-]?If he had known this earlier, it would have been better for Qing Ning to accept her as his apprentice than to be nagged by her here.

During the conversation, a woman's Yingying voice came in from outside the door, "You two girls, the young master welcomes you."

Shen Man immediately pulled himself together, and said to Tang Jiuyue, "Here we come."

Tang Jiuyue got up slowly, smoothed her sleeves, "Let's go." There was no fear on her face, she was calm and calm.

He was led all the way to the door of the main cabin by two beautiful girls whom he had seen before, and entered after reporting.The inside is indeed magnificent, with golden objects everywhere, and the floor is luxuriously covered with soft animal fur, even if you step on it with bare feet, you won't feel cold.Shen Man saw that most of the young women inside were also standing barefoot.

After entering the seat, Shen Man sat next to Tang Jiuyue, and the two sat together.The main seat above is still empty, presumably the owner will not arrive until the end.Sheng music starts, and a woman with long sleeves dances in.The house is burning with fragrance, and the wine is being warmed with hot water.

Shen Man observed the surrounding environment, leaned close to Tang Jiuyue's ear and said, "Is there any problem with this music?"

"No."

"What about the spice?"

"No."

"What about this person?"

Tang Jiuyue finally couldn't help but glanced at her and said, "People really have problems."

"which one?"

"This one in front of me." Tang Jiuyue said calmly.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time," a girl who looked no more than 14 years old stood on top, with a smile on her lips, "My son is not coming to see the guests if he is in ill health, so we, Mr. Li, will entertain the distinguished guests."

Before the words were finished, a tall and thin figure came out. This person was personable, with slender eyebrows and eyes.Holding a folding fan in his hand, the folding fan was opened, and there was nothing on the fan.

This person is the young master I met before, I saw him sitting on the opposite side, with a half-smile on his face and said, "You two distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time, do you know if this dinner still suits your taste?"

Shen Man replied, "My lord, this dinner is very rich. My sister and I are very grateful."

"I don't know where the two girls came from and where they are going?" The other party began to inquire about the details.

"The two of us are from Sichuan, and we want to go to the capital to seek refuge with relatives and see the world."

"I haven't asked the girl's name yet." The young man called "Little Li" obviously changed his face when he heard "Sichuan Shuzhong", and he glanced at Tang Jiuyue from time to time.

"My surname is Tang, and my name is Luluo. This is my older sister, named Tang Baiyi." After Shen Man finished his introduction, he saw that Master Li's complexion was even worse. Your surname, since we are here, we want to visit the owner of the painting boat."

"He just happened to be sick, so it's inconvenient to see guests. It's the same if you two have something to say to me." Mr. Li shook his fan untimely, and a cold light flashed in his slender eyes.

"Since we are sick, we can't bother."

The two sides were silent for a while, only to hear the little master Li said, "Actually, we are going to the capital too, if you don't mind, you can go with us."

"Of course we don't mind, so thank you, Mr. Li." Shen Man laughed along, but thought in his heart that they would definitely not be able to leave even if they wanted to.The woman fell into the water and rescued her by herself before, and she must have been regarded as a thorn in the side, but the two sides don't know each other's details, so this dinner is just a mutual test.Just now he purposely said that he was from the middle of Sichuan, and he declared his surname Tang, and there is someone with aura like Miss Tang sitting in the battle. Anyone with a little discernment should know that he and Miss Tang are not easy to mess with, at least not. Dare to act rashly.

Sure enough, Master Li's tone became more enthusiastic. He poured himself wine and said, "The journey is long, Sichuan and Shuzhong are thousands of miles away, why do you two go on the road alone? What dangers do you encounter on the road?" ?”

Shen Man said, "I did encounter a lot of dangers."

"Oh?"

"To tell the truth, Mr. Li, we met a group of thieves before, who robbed our luggage and money, so we have come down to this point."

"Look at the two girls on the shore. Could it be that they have climbed the mountain and passed the Miao village in front?"

"Ah."

The fan in Mr. Li's hand stopped, slapped it shut, and said with a smile, "You two, the river we cross now actually passes through those places."

Shen Man was stunned, "Where did you pass?"

Master Xiao Li got up with a smile, and walked to the edge of a screen at the back. Only then did Shen Man see that there was actually a picture of mountains and rivers embroidered on the screen.I saw that Mr. Li turned his body sideways, pointed to a few places with his fan, and said leisurely, "If you two start from this reed and take a boat, you don't have to stop on the road, and you can easily walk along a river path." Drift here, and then--" He fanned all the way to the right, and there was no obstacle, but he saw that the rivers and lakes were getting wider and wider, until he came to a city wall.Master Li smiled slowly, "Then you two can go directly to the capital."

The corner of Shen Man's mouth twitched, and he looked at Tang Jiuyue from the corner of his eye. According to this person, he had to climb mountains and cross rivers, and it would take several days of effort to reach the capital...

If they could go directly from the reed marsh to the capital directly from the beginning, then what kind of effort did they spend these few days...

"If so, how long will it take to get to Kyoto?" Shen Man couldn't bear to know the answer, but he still couldn't help asking.

"You can arrive in one day and one night." Mr. Li opened his front swing and sat cross-legged.

"Thank you...Master Li for letting me know."
