across mountains and seas

Shen Jiangli basically didn't take time off that day. In addition to making decoctions to suppress toxicity for Ye Tianxin and Jing Tan, Shen Jiangli also prepared a lot of snake-repelling pills for Xiaowu and Liuxi Tanlou to use.

When she returned to the room, she smelled a tempting aroma of food.

Liu Xi sat at the table and seemed to have been waiting for a long time, finally seeing Shen Jiangli coming back, she beckoned to Shen Jiangli to come over quickly for dinner.

Shen Jiangli happily sat down at the table, picked up the rice bowl and took a bite of the rice, when she suddenly thought of something, she slowly swallowed the rice in her mouth, and stared fixedly at Liu Xi.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile and asked: "Is it because today's food doesn't suit your taste?"

"Is there something?" Shen Jiangli asked seriously.

Liu Xi put a piece of roast meat into Shen Jiangli's bowl, nodded and smiled, "I need my sister's help."

"Say it." Shen Jiangli put down his job bowl and looked at Liu Xi solemnly.

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Can you help me diagnose someone tomorrow?"

"Which one?" Shen Jiangli asked curiously.

"Youyou." Liu Xi replied.

Shen Jiangli's eyes widened, "H-smell!"

Liu Xi knew that Shen Jiangli's sense of smell was different from ordinary people, at first she thought that the unpleasant smell she mentioned was the faint smell of tobacco on Youyou's body, but now that she thought about it carefully, Shen Jiangli probably smelled more than just the smell of tobacco.

"If you are sick, you have to be cured as soon as possible." Liu Xi also cherished this rare opportunity to resolve her grievances. Winning over Penglai Luodao can be regarded as eliminating an obstacle for Ah Lan to calm down the world in the future. "If my sister can heal her... "Liu Xi thought for a while, it seemed that she had nothing to "seduce" Shen Jiangli.

Shen Jiangli smiled, "Benevolence, heart." She pointed to her heart, and nodded heavily, "Yes, yes!"

Liu Xi gratefully raised her hand to caress Shen Jiangli's head, "Thank you, sister."

"No, thank you!" Shen Jiangli chuckled, and also took a piece of roast meat for Liu Xi, "I'm hungry."

Liu Xi smiled hoarsely, picked up the bowl, "Together."

Shen Jiangli asked clearly, and his heart became more at ease.As she ate, she recalled the expression on You You's face that day. Her face was as usual, with red lips and white teeth. It shouldn't be difficult to heal her.

Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief quietly, today's work is not in vain.

She chewed the roast meat carefully, looking at the empty courtyard outside the room from time to time.

I haven't seen Jing Lan for a whole day, and I don't know what she is busy with?

Strange to say, I had thought about Jing Lan before, but I have never been able to see a day like this now, I feel my whole heart is empty, and even the roast meat in my mouth feels a little less flavorful.

The fine snow outside the eaves did not stop for a moment, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated inside and outside the city to the east.

The night is getting darker.

Hundreds of houses in Donglin City are lit like beans, making the snowy night very cold.

After dealing with the important affairs of the army and the state government, Jing Lan and Uncle Jing Jiu returned to the government office together.

Seeing Jing Lan's tired face, Uncle Jing Jiu couldn't help but remind him, "Young Master, you still need to pay more attention to your body."

"Thank you Uncle Jiu for your concern." Jing Lan shook her head and smiled, she knew that there was someone who needed this sentence more than her.

Uncle Jing Jiu sighed, "If madam sees the young master, she will die of heartache."

"If Aunt Hong knows that something happened to my second brother, I'm afraid she will feel even more distressed." Jing Lan glanced at the sky. At this time, the second brother should have taken his medicine and rested, so it's better not to disturb him.

"Uncle Nine, Nie Guang will help me go to Lidu on business tomorrow, and you send someone to follow you." Jing Lan ordered in a low voice.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "Yes."

"I don't worry if he stays in the city, and the third brother still has to be distracted to guard against him, so... even if he completes his errand, I want him not to return to Donglin City for two months."

"I will handle the matter, the young master can rest assured."

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, and asked hesitantly: "But there is really no need to notify Haicheng?"

"Whether or not to tell Aunt Hong about the second brother's affairs is up to the third brother to decide." She and Liu Xi went to the desert to search for mirages this time. Going to station outside Haicheng, this way, she can feel more at ease.

Counting the footsteps, the three thousand soldiers and horses arrived outside Haicheng with their baggage, and it should be seven days later.

"Yes." Uncle Jing Jiu accepted the order respectfully.

"Everyone should be well." Jing Lan ordered in a deep voice.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded and said, "The young master is the same, and the eldest young lady must come back safely."

"Yes." Jing Lan now only hopes that the mirage is not a legend.

Qidan suddenly became hot.

The smile on Jing Lan's face froze, and the words Liu Xi said this morning rang in his mind,

"Tonight... let's talk..."

Uncle Jing Jiu noticed that Jing Lan's ears turned red suddenly, and he asked with concern, "Is the young master not feeling well?"

"Uncle Jiu, go back and rest." Jing Lan urged Uncle Jing Jiu with a guilty conscience, "I still have some things to do."

"If the young master is not feeling well, you can visit Miss Shen." Uncle Jing Jiu reminded Jing Lan.

Jing Lan said solemnly: "It's so late, my sister-in-law and sister Shen must have rested, it's not good for me to bother you at night."

"Yes." Uncle Jing Jiu nodded.

"Uncle Jiu, I have to go to work first."

"Young master, you have been busy..."

Jing Lan walked very fast, and soon disappeared from Uncle Jing Jiu's sight.

Uncle Jing Jiu always felt that something was wrong with Jing Lan at the moment, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Young man..." Uncle Jing Jiu shook his head and smiled, thinking that he no longer had the energy of the young master.

"Squeak-"

After taking care of his second elder brother, Jing Yuan exited the room and closed the door.

After he walked along the snow-covered path with a lantern, he has been unresolved about the question of the day—why is it him and not Xiao Wu?

He couldn't understand Liu Xi's intentions, so he simply turned to another path and went to the small courtyard where Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli lived temporarily.

If he asked clearly, his mind would be at ease, and he would be less worried.

This small courtyard is the largest part of the backyard. There is a small two-story building in the courtyard. Before Liuxi came, this was the place where Jing Lan rested.

After Liu Xi and Shen Jiangli came, Jing Lan gave them this place, and chose a side room separated from the small courtyard by a wall to rest.

The night snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature is getting colder and colder.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the lantern in Jing Yuan's hand suddenly went out.

Jing Yuan found a leeward corner, and was about to take out the torch, blow it on and light the lantern, when he walked into the shadow of the corner, he heard a soft sound from the wall.

Jing Yuan hid in the dark and looked vigilantly at the sound, only to see Jing Lan skimming up to the wall, jumped up, and then clung to the window lattice on the second floor.

"Little Five?!" Jing Yuan couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and looked again, Jing Lan had already pushed the window into the room.

The small window was closed suddenly, and no sister-in-law's scolding was heard inside.

Jing Yuan couldn't help thinking about certain things, it seemed that he had the answer he wanted, but he didn't want this answer at all.

Frightened.

"Sister Shen is still in the room, it won't be like that..." Jing Yuan quickly found a reason for Xiao Wu, "Maybe... maybe Xiao Wu is going to discuss important matters with his sister-in-law!"

Jing Yuan would rather believe this reason, he put down the lantern, and rubbed his hands together.

If Xiao Wu comes out soon, that's what he thinks, if Xiao Wu stays inside all night...

"Xiao Wu is a man of etiquette!" Jing Yuan warned himself, not to suspect his younger brother like this.

But in the middle of the night, instead of going through the main entrance, he climbed into the room through the window, and two women and one man talked together at night, which didn't seem like a good thing.

The more Jing Yuan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He stared at the closed window from the leeward side, and said silently in his heart: "Xiao Wu, you must come out early... definitely..."

Before Jing Lan came in through the window, Liu Xi sat on the edge of the bed, putting her feet in hot water to warm them up comfortably.

Shen Jiangli also specially added some herbs to the hot water to help Liuxi's ankle recover earlier.

Soaking feet on a winter night is really a great thing.

Liu Xi felt extremely comfortable, her feet were so warm that she felt her whole body warmed up.

The meridians are smooth, she just stretched her waist, and felt her breath flowing freely, and the Qi Dan turned around involuntarily.

She subconsciously covered the Qi Pill, if Jing Lan sensed the Qi Pill's abnormal movement, maybe next time she would say that she was shameless and was thinking wildly at night.

Shen Jiangli spread out the needle pouch at the side, ready to wait for Liuxi to soak, and then continue to give her needles.

It can't be all healed in just ten days, Shen Jiangli can only guarantee that after these ten days, Liuxi can walk as usual, as long as he walks carefully and doesn't hurt the same place again, he will gradually heal.

The water temperature gradually cools down.

Shen Jiangli sat beside Liu Xi, took a clean handkerchief and handed it to Liu Xi, "OK, needle."

Liu Xi nodded, just picked up the handkerchief.

"Squeak!"

The window sash opened extremely suddenly, and Jing Lan came in covered in wind and snow.

Shen Jiangli was holding the silver needle in his hand, if he hadn't seen Jing Lan's face clearly, he would have shot it unceremoniously.

"Sister." Liu Xi was full of joy, she quietly tugged on Shen Jiangli's sleeve twice.

Shen Jiangli smiled slyly, nodded and said: "Call, me." After finishing speaking, he packed up the needle bag, walked past Jing Lan with his hands behind his back, gave Jing Lan a wink, held back his smile and walked cheerfully downstairs up.

Jing Lan's face burned, and she quickly locked the window.

Liu Xi put down the handkerchief, supported her body with her hands behind her back, and leaned back slightly, "When did Ah Lan learn the habits of these prodigal sons?"

"I don't know who it is. I was thinking wildly at night, and my energy was fluttering." Jing Lan walked over, squatted down beside the Liuxi basin, stretched out her fingers to test the water temperature, and said with a frown, "It's cold."

"Whoa-"

Liuxi raised one of her jade feet, water drops would slide down from time to time, dripping into the water basin with tinkling sounds.

"Only this once." Jing Lan caught a glimpse of the handkerchief beside Liu Xi's hand, and was not in a hurry to help Liu Xi wipe off the water drops. He wiped the drops of water off her feet.

"So gentle... No wonder the little Humei at home likes it." Liu Xi couldn't help joking.

"She hasn't seen it before." Jing Lan looked up at her with a serious tone, "I haven't had a chance to see her either."

Liu Xi smiled a little deeper, and didn't answer.

Jing Lan's movements suddenly stopped, and she lightly rubbed Liu Xi's swollen ankle with her fingertips, "Sometimes you are really brave." Her voice was gentle and there was a hint of distress in her tone.

"I'm happy." Liu Xi raised her head slightly, smiling very complacently.

Jing Lan frowned, staring closely at her eyebrows, "Say it again, try!"

Liu Xi had never been afraid of anyone before, she leaned forward and deliberately slowed down her voice, "I... happy... happy... ah!"

Jing Lan was not happy at all, she got up suddenly and pressed Liu Xi on the bed, with a flash of anger burning in her eyes, she said condescendingly: "Believe it or not, I tied you here, give me a good recovery!"

"Distressed?" Liu Xi's eyes became more and more complacent.

"Who loves you?" Jing Lan asked back in a cold voice, her eyes intertwined with Liu Xi's, and each other's eyes were full of unresolved affection.

"Liu Xi!" Surprised that Liu Xi's legs hooked up to the waist, Jing Lan's dantian burned, and said anxiously: "Let's talk business, don't make trouble!"

"Who is making trouble?" Liu Xi turned over and pushed Jing Lan to the side with a light push, and sat on Jing Lan's body.

The candlelight just illuminated half of her rosy cheeks, and every word she said was enough to iron Jing Lan's heart, "The little thief who climbed the window unruly in the middle of the night dared to act fiercely in front of me. Call me good sister, I will let you go!" I miss you." After finishing speaking, she lay on Jing Lan's chest and looked at her expectantly.

Jing Lan's heart was beating wildly, and she pretended to be calm and said, "You didn't say it this morning, let's talk about it tonight...?"

"My family, Ah Lan..." Liu Xi's palm clearly felt Jing Lan's strong heartbeat, and her voice became hoarse, "So you're so obedient?"

"Willow Creek..."

"I've been kissed by you, and you still call me that?"
