"I found a silk thread between the branches and leaves of the locust tree." Xu Qin replied.

Not long after the Qixi Festival, on that day, women would thread a needle against the moon in their attic to pray for wisdom from Vega. Lu Yi left a silk thread that was extremely difficult to detect with the naked eye and wrapped it around a branch. It is said that it was left behind after begging for cleverness.

"A piece of silk thread is ordinary, but the place it leads to is the wall of the Lu family." Xu Qin said, "The black shadow of the fox that the neighbors saw flashing across the wall was made of it. right?"

"Your observation is really meticulous." Lu Yi pulled out a lifelike cloth "fox" from under the couch, and sighed, "At dusk, I quietly lead the other end of the silk thread to the marked place, and in the middle of the night, just be a A simple rope ring can make this fake fox fly along the top of the wall for a short distance, and then fall into the grass at the bottom of the wall, and it can be retrieved the next day when people are not paying attention."

Those fox tails and ears are all made of cloth by her, and she plays tricks at night by the shadow of the lamp.

"Don't worry, since I wrote the word 'help' in your palm, I won't reveal these things." Xu Qin promised and continued to ask, "It's just that you take such pains to pretend to be caught by the fox demon every day. look, what is it for?"

"I know that." Chen Mai, who was standing on the side, said, "Because sister doesn't like Li Yan, all the little friends we used to play with know that."

"Amai, is it all because of this that you mentioned before?" Lu Yi looked at Chen Mai.

"Of course, I'm not talking nonsense. Chen Yan has two fires, isn't it the Suzaku fire that invaded? When Nai Weng thinks about it, he will want to call off this marriage." Chen Mai Said proudly, "I'll think of another way to lure your wishful gentleman out."

It turned out that Lu Yi already had a desire to belong to her. The person she admired was Luo Changjun, the eldest son of a Luo family located three miles across the river. He bought the Li family, a businessman whose wealth is even richer than his own.

Lu Yi kept crying and objecting to no avail, until the dowry was brought in, and she didn't know that her parents were determined to marry her, so she had to come up with the appearance of being raped by a fox demon to spoil the marriage.

"There is a small river between the two villages, but I suffer from the distance between the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, and I am locked up at home, unable to deliver letters to Luo Lang." Lu Yi lamented.

As a modern youth, Xu Qin hates this kind of arranged marriage very much. He is not used to the ancients getting married so early. The girl in front of him is only 14 years old. Does she want to have children and spend her whole life with someone she doesn't like? ?

"Do you want to marry this Luo Changjun?" Xu Qin asked, "I can help you."

Lu Yi nodded shyly: "I have been in love with Luo Lang for a long time. If I can make a long-term companion with him, I will have no regrets in this life."

"That's good, you write him a letter, plus a token, I'll give it to Luo Changjun for you." Xu Qin looked at Chen Mai, "Within three days, we will find a way to let him in at the right time. Show up and persuade your parents to agree to let you marry Luo Changjun. If you believe me, entrust this matter to me."

Lu Yi looked at Xu Qin hesitantly. After all, this was the first time a stranger appeared in Huzhou Township. She then turned her attention to her childhood playmate Chen Mai: "Amai, can I trust him?"

"Don't worry, he is a good man." Chen Mai immediately promised.

Then Lu Yi got up and took out a gold hairpin from the dowry, and took out a Supa embroidered with orchid grass from the bamboo box, and said to Xu Qin: "I entrust you, but I can't write. write on it."

After she finished speaking, a golden mark suddenly appeared on Kunpeng's body, indicating that she had officially received the courier mission.

The address of Luo Changjun's residence was also quickly located by Kunpeng. It also belongs to Yangwu County, not far from here, and he can run back and forth in a morning. Xu Qin is equivalent to picking up a courier from the same city.

Xu Qin was very happy, but he didn't know how to write very well... Just in time to see Chen Mai standing by, Xu Qin coughed, and pretended to be deep and said: "Chen Mai, I'll test you, you said you followed you Daddy is studying Yin-Yang theory, so can you write?"

"Of course I can write." Chen Mai replied inexplicably. He thought that Xu Qin was probably too lazy to write by himself, so he took the pen from Lu Yi, "Okay, okay, let me tell you something. Write a sentence."

After Chen Mai finished writing, Xu Qin solemnly wrapped the golden hairpin with the written Supa and hid it in his sleeve, and said to Lu Yi: "You can still pretend to be a fox demon for a few days, and sit at home and wait for the good news."

Xu Qin and Chen Mai went downstairs together, and said to Butcher Lu: "The exorcism spell has been cast, but this demon fox is very powerful, you have to see if you can drive it away completely, and we will go around tomorrow to find other Methods."

Butcher Lu sent the two away with gratitude.Back at Chen's house, Zheng Ru had already tidied up the side rooms. Xu Qin fetched a basin of well water from the outside, washed up briefly, and found a set of white underwear from the bag.

In fact, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a large vest for sleeping, called crotch. This kind of close-fitting clothing is divided into two pieces, the front and the back. The shoulders are connected by two wide bags, and the armpits are also connected by thin belts.

The lower body is covered with a whole piece of cloth wrapped around the waist, and the length is above the thigh. The lower skirts worn by people in that period are actually not much different from the one-piece wrap skirts that are popular now.

As soon as Xu Qin packed up and was about to lie down, he heard Chen Mai knocking on the wall outside—the family was too poor to even install the outer door, and the inner door didn't even hang a curtain, which was very ventilated.

"have you slept?"

Xu Qin felt that he was wearing a big vest and old-fashioned trousers...uh, no pants—seeing that the other party didn't respect him very much, he put his coat on his body and said, "I'm not sleeping, come in."

As soon as Chen Mai entered the room, he saw Xu Qin wearing a coat in summer, and asked curiously: "It's cold at night? How about... I'll light a fire for you?"

"No need." Xu Qin said dumbfoundedly, he thought the room was stuffy without air conditioner and fan.

"Why do you still wrap your coat when it's not cold?" Chen Mai didn't understand very much. He was wearing a red children's sweater that had been washed and faded. It is even more stitched and mended, and there are holes, even if the wind leaks, he still feels a little hot.

Xu Qin coughed a few times: "Let's get down to business."

Of course, Chen Mai came to Xu Qin late at night to discuss how to complete Lu Yi's commission, but he was always casual in his own home, and as soon as he entered the room, he naturally slipped his slippers on the only piece of furniture in the room - the couch .

This was his father's couch, so of course Xu Qin couldn't say anything, so he sat down on the side of the couch with his legs hanging outside.

"Have you thought of an excuse to lure Luo Changjun out?" Chen Mai put his hands on his chin, looked up at Xu Qin and asked.

"I haven't figured it out yet..." Xu Qin was planning to lie down and think again, "I didn't expect you to be more active than me. Hey, why do I say you are so enthusiastic about this?"

"It's not fun." Chen Mai said casually, "Since you haven't thought about it, I'll tell you my method. If you think it's easy to use, how about using my method?"

"I haven't asked you yet, did you really learn the wind and water theory at Lu Tuhu's house from Er Weng?"

Chen Mai snorted: "As for Ah Weng's problem of wandering around, I don't see him for 360 days a year, how can he have time to teach me? I learned it by myself from the idle books he left at home. "

He turned out to be a self-taught talented boy.Xu Qin immediately asked respectfully: "As far as your pretense is concerned, it looks real. Those who don't know really think that you can exorcise evil spirits."

"Anyway, in our backcountry, how can there be any real Taoist priests? As long as I can fool people." Chen Mai blinked, "When the letter comes back, I'm going to use the trick of hope."

He leaned into Xu Qin's ear and whispered for a while, and Xu Qin clapped his hands again and again: "That's a good idea. When the time comes, I will ask Luo Changjun to walk in the direction you can see, and Butcher Lu will be able to see him when he looks for it."

"Yeah, that's all we need then." The two looked at each other and smiled under the dim light, showing sly smiles on each other "hehehe".

At dawn the next day, Xu Qin and Chen Mai set off on foot. The Luo family is located in a small village on the back of the mountain. There are not many people here, and the fields are scarce. Most of them make a living by hunting in the mountains. Luo Changjun is such a hunter.

When Xu Qin and the others found Luo Changjun, he was climbing down a steep rock wall with a boar on a fork. He was a slightly dark-skinned, muscular young man.

"Who are you? What are you looking for me for?" Luo Changjun asked with a voice like a bell.

His family is relatively poor, so Lu Tuhu does not agree with his daughter marrying Orion, but in case of chaos in the world, such a young man with a strong physique and high military value can protect him better than the son of a rich family who has no power to restrain the chicken. The safety of the whole family, young and old.From a certain point of view, he is Miss Lu's good match.

The more Xu Qin looked at the other party, the more satisfied he was, and he handed over both Supa and the golden hairpin: "This is a letter from Lu Yituo, and I also have the golden hairpin as a token."

Luo Changjun opened it excitedly, and his face flushed immediately, obviously excited: "No wonder I haven't seen her these days, it turned out that I was caught by my family and asked her to wait, I will go and snatch her away. From now on, I will live in the mountains.”

"Hey, brother, don't get excited. According to the laws of Daqin, it is a crime to rob civilian women. You can't fall into the quagmire of illegal crimes." Xu Qin quickly stopped the other party.

"Then what can I do?" Luo Changjun squatted down with a distressed expression on his face.

"We have a way to help you." Chen Mai said, "Would you like to play a play with us?"

The author has something to say: 裲liang crotch can also be written as two crotches, the vest of the old man in the Qin and Han Dynasties (big mistake)

Sweat clothes are also a kind of underwear. The red vests worn by children in the murals of the Han Tomb in Dahuting are said to be sweat clothes.

In fact, Xu Qin and Chen Mai are wearing old men's vests and big pants, talking at night with lights on, surrounded by earthen walls and door openings that leak air. Do you think it is romantic?Hahaha
