Qingzhou trip

Li Suyue stared at the door in the backyard, because there was noise from the next door.After the horse's snort came Yun Bailu's voice, "Have a rest, I'll find you something to eat later, thanks to you today."

When Wudou in his own family heard the snoring of the neighbor next door, his ears swayed back and forth. He didn't care about the forage in the trough, and his hooves took turns pawing as if he wanted to rush over.

Li Suyue was thinking whether she should go to the next door to take a look, or because of Evian Bailu's temper, she just rushed into her blacksmith shop to talk nonsense.But the door from which the nails had been unloaded was not opened.I could hear Yun Bailu shaking buckets of water next door, and after a while, the cooking smoke rose.

Since she moved in, the neighbor next door has basically never turned on the fire for cooking.Yun Bailu only works in the kitchen when it needs to boil water for a bath.

The fingers that were gripping the hem of the clothes loosened, and Li Suyue went back to the kitchen to make noodles.When the dough was almost kneaded, Li Shancui jumped in, "Sister, are you cooking so early?"

"You chop stuffing, wrap more corners in a while." Li Suyue was busy rolling out the skin while talking.It's no problem for her to do the cooking with her iron and hammer hands.Li Suyue didn't stop until the corners for three people were wrapped up.

"Is there any more guests? Xie sister, are you coming to eat?" Shancui asked.

Li Suyue shook her head, but didn't answer, the horns under her hands bloomed like white tangerines.She didn't say until she finished wrapping up the servings for six people, "The one next door... is back. Leave half of these cooked for her." Li Shancui didn't come back to her senses, "Who?"

Li Suyue added cold water to the pot, and slowly stirred the horn, "Yunbailu." Thinking that it would not be enough for Shan Cui to give the gift, "Let me do it."

Shan Cui raised her eyebrows and stared, her tone became more serious, "Who?"

This sound made Li Suyue, who was already upset, even more impatient, "Who else?" Owing to others was already uncomfortable, but the few days of fear and fear made her even more sad. .

When he opened the door and entered Yun Bailu's small yard, the new horse looked up at Li Suyue.Li Suyue moved some fodder for it first, then stroked its head, guessing that Yun Bailu had already taken a bath, so she went to knock on the door.After three beeps, the room was silent, and her mouth seemed to be pierced by a needle and thread, but it was difficult to call out the name.

I knocked harder, but still no one answered.Li Suyue frowned, pushed the door and found it was just a cover-up.There was still steam in the large bathtub in the main room, and a few tattered clothes were randomly thrown on the side of the bucket.A string of water drops on the ground leads directly to the inner room, and standing at the door, you can see Yun Bailu lying on the kang, sleeping dead.

When he approached, he could smell the smell of traumatic medicine. Yun Bailu's robe was loosely wrapped around his body, and several deep purple scabs on his neck spread to his back deep in the collar.The hands holding the bowl suddenly trembled, Li Suyue almost didn't drop the big bowl that held the corners for three people, and just put it there, wouldn't it be muddy when she woke up?

After hesitating for a while, Li Suyue cleared her throat, "Hello..."

Yun Bailu, who turned his face away on the kang, twitched his eyebrows, let go of his fingers holding the quilt, and there was also a purple-red wound on his wrist.

Li Suyue put down the bowl, rolled up Yun Bailu's sleeve, and sure enough, she saw that the scar had grown to her upper arm.Yun Bailu was startled awake, she was startled at first, and stretched out her hand to touch the short blade under her pillow.Seeing that it was Li Suyue who calmed down, she squeezed out a smile, "Yue Niang?" There were also several scars on her face, her cheeks were still swollen high, and her eyes were squeezed like cracks in walnuts.

Yun Bailu, who was clutching the front of his clothes and turned his back to the body, was a little flustered, "I didn't hear the sound, I overslept."

Just as she was talking, when her shoulders got cold, Li Suyue took off her clothes, her two bare shoulder blades rolled down and stopped shyly.

Yun Bailu looked back at Li Suyue in confusion, "What are you going to do, Yue Niang?"

Li Suyue stared at the criss-crossed whip marks on her back, her eyes sore, "He was beaten?"

They knew who the "he" was referring to, Yun Bailu nodded, "It must be that I pretend to be Yun Fangjiang's daughter, let me recruit." Pulling up her clothes, she chuckled, "It's okay." She was on the border of Xiliao I also suffered a lot of beatings when chiseling stones.Although the meat is not thick, the rough skin is resistant to beating.

"How did you come back?" Li Suyue turned her face away.

"It should be my fate that I met horse thieves robbing the city. Most of the guards in Manguan were sleeping at that time, and the rest were not beaten." Turning around, Yun Bailu's eyes fell on the big bowl, "Here Mine?" She smiled, "Thank you Yueniang."

After picking up the bowl, Yun Bailu squeezed the horns with his hands and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.In a short time, he stuffed a dozen or so pieces, and while eating, he was afraid of ignoring the visitors, so he said vaguely about the horse thief, "Slap me four times... I was lucky enough to save my life, and ran back after stealing the horse." His face became more and more unsightly, and his eating was extremely ferocious. Yun Bailu didn't have the airs of a handsome daughter at all, and swayed with his legs crossed, "Shan Cui's craftsmanship is just good."

Li Suyue was stunned for a while, but did not explain.

"Thank you." She lowered her head and squeezed out two words.

"It's my turn to thank you. After being hungry for a few days, I finally saw this mouthful." When Yun Bailu was eating happily, she remembered the head hanging from the Manguan Tower, and suddenly she couldn't swallow it.The mouth is round and round, and the eyeballs are also fixed.

"What's wrong?" Li Suyue rarely spoke politely to her.

Yun Bailu swallowed desperately, hiccupped and waved his hands, thinking that it would be better to ask Xie Penglai about this before it was too late.Yueniang has been a widow for several years, not bad for a few days.

"Eat slowly, I'll be back." Yueniang wanted to leave.

Yun Bailu hiccupped while sending Yueniang out, and waved familiarly, "Come and sit down when you have time." Li Suyue didn't look back, opened the door and went back to her home.Yun Bailu rushed to the door and put his ear to listen, but he didn't hear the sound of nails knocking on the door.

"Stop listening, go back." Yueniang's voice passed through the crack of the door, Yun Bailu looked down at her feet, opened her mouth as if about to cry, and then laughed again.

"En." She replied, but leaned behind the door for a long time.

"Has the letter from the old lady in Qingma Lane been delivered?" Yun Bailu wiped his eyes and asked Yueniang behind the door.

He hesitated there for a while, as if he was unwilling to chat with himself, "Send it, read it." The footsteps got farther and farther away, and then Yun Bailu reluctantly went back to continue eating.

After I was full, I always felt that there was a fly in the ointment, and I found two taels of silver hidden under the kang.Yun Bailu put on her shoes, grabbed the wine bag and went to "Purple Sparrow" to drink, and then went to rub Xie Penglai for a meal at night. Who asked her to help at all?

In any case, Xie Penglai would never have anything to do with horse thieves.Yun Bailu walked and thought while holding the wine bag, and it took a while to realize that his face frightened people.She sighed, "Human beings are neither human nor ghost, all those days were wasted." She didn't have to settle the debt, the head of the rightful owner was still hanging in Manguan.

Sit down in the purple sparrow, Pan'er Rabbit is reluctant to cry.Yun Bailu listened to people chatting while drinking, glanced at it casually, the next table was spacious, mutton, red and white kidneys, quail, rabbits and pigeons were fully placed, but only two people were seated.Isn't the one with his head down and his eyes cautiously looking at Master Xie?

The one next to her smilingly serving her food was Miss Fang. She raised her eyes and glanced at Yun Bailu without reminding Xie Penglai, but poured wine for her, "Master Xie, you always look so cautious outside, It's not in the county government office." She glanced at Penglai and then brought her some food, "Eat more, it's not good to be too thin."

It turned out that Xie Penglai couldn't save himself because he was too busy talking about love?Yun Bailu stared suspiciously at his mentor.

Xie Penglai finally picked up the chopsticks, and also picked up the food for Miss Fang, "Please...please first." Thinking of Yun Bailu in his heart, seeing Zhao Yifang sighed helplessly, he picked up the chopsticks and tasted politely.Xie Penglai also ate the same dish after watching his words and demeanor.After a few times, Miss Fang patted the chopsticks on the table, "Thank you, you...you are so boring."

"It's boring." Yun Bailu nodded secretly and echoed in her heart. If Yueniang brought food for herself, she would swallow all the dishes.

Miss Fang poured the wine by herself, Xie Penglai hurriedly got up and bowed to help her, but after being stared at by the girl, her buttocks grabbed the stool again.

"If you keep being so reserved, do you want me to feed you?" Miss Fang stared at Xie Penglai with a pair of big eyes, and smiled when she saw that the man had finally let go.Looking at Yun Bailu from the side, he seemed eager to say hello to Xie Penglai, but his eyes suddenly showed a fierce look, which was an obvious warning.

Yun Bailu waved his hands, then clasped his fists, signaling his farewell.

Seeing Yun Bailu gone, Zhao Yifang said, "Master Xie, Yun Bailu was exiled on the border of the sixteen prefectures, and how he was sent back to Shahai. Do you know the reason?"

Xie Penglai put down his chopsticks, "I would like to hear more about it." But King Jin didn't speak, his eyes looked at him with fear.Xie Penglai thought for a while, "Let me guess?"

Zhao Yifang nodded, saw Xie Penglai dipped his finger into the water, wrote the character "白" on the table, and then looked at herself tentatively.Zhao Yifang said, "If this family is running around, why wait until now instead of last year or the year before?"

This is true.Xie Penglai's shoulders dropped, "Did Yun Fangjiang beg Beixia to mention it?"

"It's a bit similar, but it's not." Zhao Yifang stared at the jug, "Even if he begged, the Bai family would not agree." Baizhi only had this daughter, and if she was sent to Beixia, it would be a shame for generations of loyalists. Splash dirty water on it.

Seeing that Xie Penglai was still frowning in thought, Zhao Yifang glanced at her quietly, "It's because of you." She then poured a glass of wine for Xie County Magistrate, "After this meal, go out with me for a few days tomorrow. Maybe I'm in a good mood, so I'm happy to talk to you." Seeing that Xie Penglai's brows were deeply wrinkled, Zhao Yifang supported his head, "If you don't dare to go, I will... dismiss you from your post."

Xie Penglai was dumbfounded, but Zhao Yifang rolled his eyes again, "If you dare not eat, you will be dismissed."

Why is this man still a dignified prince?She is sometimes serious and sometimes childish, public and private are mixed together, and she is not allowed to analyze it carefully.Xie Penglai dared not speak out, but Zhao Yifang seemed to have gradually become drunk looking at herself.

"If you dare to like someone else, you will be dismissed and beaten with a stick." She stared at Xie Penglai half-drunk and half-seriously, "Master Xie, why did you stay in Shahai for twelve years?" Suddenly, she found a white hair on Xie Penglai's temple. She said, "I'll pull it out."

A silver thread stuck to her fingertips, and Zhao Yifang's nose overflowed with soreness, "It's all my fault...it's all my fault."

Xie Penglai's eyes were gentle, and he picked up the silver hair and flicked it off, "No one is to blame. I have only realized in these years that the world is so big that the only place that can accommodate a woman is the sand sea. White hair grows in other lands, and there are no green hills in the old country. Whatever."

One sentence made Zhao Yifang dazed for a while, "That's right, Ben... I'm here too?" At the end, she said softly.
