across mountains and seas

"But men and women give and receive..."

"no."

Before Jing Lan could finish speaking, Shen Jiangli interrupted her first. She pointed at Jing Lan and said firmly, "M-boy."

Jing Lan's eyes widened, "You...how do you..."

Shen Jiangli pointed to her wrist again, which she discovered when she was checking her pulse just now, and she nodded seriously at Jing Lan, "Man, son." She paused, "No, hug."

Jing Lan supported her shoulders, and said seriously: "You must not tell this matter."

"Appointment." Shen Jiangli couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand, "No, say." His eyes were bright, as innocent as a child.

Jing Lan sighed softly, and embraced her in her arms.

Shen Jiangli slipped into Jing Lan's arms, the long-lost warmth flooded his heart, and his smile grew stronger, "Happy, happy."

"The pupil technique consumes the most energy, are you... all right?" Jing Lan suddenly thought of this.

Shen Jiangli shook his head, she gently pushed Jing Lan away, "Dan, here." She pointed her finger at her dantian, "Yes, yes."

Jing Lan stared blankly at her face, but Shen Jiangli reached out and touched Jing Lan's head.

"what are you doing?"

"younger sister."

Shen Jiangli replied with a smile.

Jing Lan's complexion changed suddenly, and she lowered her voice to remind, "Didn't you say you kept it a secret? Besides, who said I must be younger than you?"

"Ten, eight." Shen Jiangli pointed to himself.

Jing Lan kept silent, but she was only a few months away from turning seventeen.

"Later." Shen Jiangli patted his chest, "No, mention it." With a slight smile, Shen Jiangli yawned, fell on Jing Lan's laps, and fell asleep peacefully with his eyes closed.

Jing Lan couldn't help laughing silently.

There was a troublesome woman in Haicheng, and now she seems to have provoked another troublesome woman.

Willow Creek...

She raised her head, looked through the gaps in the trees, and looked at the starry sky.

I don't know if Liuxi has been following the rules these few days?Liu Xi's pain-bearing smile appeared in his mind, Jing Lan only felt his heart tremble, and his heart ached.

Liuxi behaved well in Haicheng these few days, all because she wanted to get off the ground and walk faster.

Mr. Hai stared at her, and Aunt Hong also stared at her, unpacking and washing, applying medicine, and putting on bamboo splints.The wound has scabbed over, and she would have been able to walk on the ground with a bamboo stick on weekdays, and she could have hired a carriage to go to [Ghost Gate] to look for Jing Lan, but the two of them just keep an eye on it, as there is someone in front of the mountain gate. Jing Yuan patrols, and Jing Tan guards the Shicheng Tower at the mouth of Santu Shixia Gorge. Aunt Hong issued a strict order in front of everyone, not allowing Liuxi to go out of the city to look for Jing Lan.

"You're still hurt, so don't go out and cause trouble, or you will find one by one, and everything will happen."

These are Auntie Hong's original words, which she would say to Liu Xi almost every day.

It's not that Aunt Hong is not worried about Jing Lan, but Uncle Jing Jiu has always been the most reliable. He has taken people to [Ghost Gate] to look for Jing Lan. There has been no news these days, which is considered good news.

Seventeen days passed in a row, and Liu Xi did not receive any news from Uncle Jing Jiu, but the news that Jing Huanhai's boat had returned.

As soon as Jing Huan got to the ferry, he heard that his sister-in-law was injured, so he hurried to visit Liu Xi.

"Sister-in-law!" Jing Huan strode in while yelling out of courtesy.

Aunt Hong gave him a hard look, "You're rude!"

Only then did Jing Huan come to his senses, and quickly bowed to Aunt Hong, and then cupped his fists at Liu Xi who was sitting on the couch changing bamboo clips, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong, don't blame me..."

"Have you found the mine?" Liu Xi asked.

Jing Huan's eyes flashed brightly, "Sister-in-law, you are really powerful! I really thought that the island was bare and there were no unusual things, but how could I dig two feet deep under the island, and the mine came out! Good job! Donghai Han Iron Mine! I dug a boat full and came back! If my sister-in-law wants more, I will send Uncle Qin to bring someone to dig a few more boats back!"

The "Mine Vein Map of the East China Sea" handed down from Penglai Luodao is indeed correct.

"It's hard work for fourth uncle to run this trip." Liu Xi was very happy, but because she was worried about Jing Lan's safety, she just pursed the corners of her lips and smiled lightly, "If it is, I will definitely have more."

"Then I'll go find Uncle Qin and take someone to dig! Sister-in-law, rest well!" Jing Huan nodded happily, bowed to Liu Xi and Aunt Hong, and retreated happily.

Mr. Hai frowned after replacing the bamboo splint for Liu Xi, took a small piece of bamboo and tapped Liu Xi's thumb, and asked, "Young Madam, move your toes, let me see how the recovery is going?"

Liu Xi struggled to move her toes, although she was able to move, she was not as light as before.

Aunt Hong asked worriedly, "How is Xi'er recovering?"

"Flesh and bone are reborn, and the recovery is not bad, but it hurts the bones..." Mr. Hai hesitated to speak, "Hai's medical skills are limited, I'm afraid..."

Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a warm voice, "It's good that I can still walk, and I'll be lame if I'm limping. I know that Mr. Hai has tried his best."

Aunt Hong held Liu Xi's hand and comforted her, "Hasn't Xiao Wu not come back yet? Maybe..."

"He's back! Young Master, he's back!" The guard's excited voice sounded outside the room, and he stood outside the door with a white pigeon in his hands. The pigeon passed the letter, saying that he met the young master on the way, and he will come back with the young master this evening."

Liu Xi's hanging heart was finally let go, and her smile was stronger than usual.

Aunt Hong clasped her hands together, bowed, and said with emotion: "It's good, it's good."

"Aunt Hong, you should allow me to pick her up at Shicheng Tower this time, right?" Liu Xi raised her head slightly and asked seriously.

Aunt Hong looked at Liu Xi's feet hesitantly.

Mr. Hai said with a smile: "Young Madam has been worried about the young master for so many days, the sooner she sees it, the sooner she will feel at ease."

Aunt Hong also knew this truth, she was afraid that Liu Xi's feet would twist again on the road.

Mr. Hai stood up and pushed the wooden cart over, "Hai will be very careful in pushing the young lady out personally."

Now that Mr. Hai has said so, Aunt Hong naturally has no reason to refuse. She smiled relievedly, clasped her hands and held Liu Xi's hand, "Seeing Xiao Wu, you don't need to do anything, my aunt will deal with him first!"

Liu Xi looked at her in astonishment, "Huh?"

"You are alone in danger, you still dare to fool me, not to mention you, I am angry with him too!" Aunt Hong was annoyed when she thought of this, she had already made up her mind, when she saw Jing Lan, she would act preemptively and pinch him hard A pair of ears, let him have a long memory.

Liu Xi reminded with a smile: "Aunt Hong, don't deal with her in public, she is the head of the Jing family after all."

Aunt Hong thought it made sense, and nodded slightly, "After eating, I will punish him to kneel in the ancestral hall! I will deal with him after kneeling!"

"Leave it to me." Liu Xi gently patted the back of Aunt Hong's hand, "I'm also responsible for her mischief this time."

Aunt Hong stared blankly at Liu Xi, "If he suddenly loses his childish temper and yells at you, you're still hurt, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop him."

"When the time comes, I'll come to Aunt Hong to file a complaint. Aunt Hong will uphold justice for me, okay?" Liu Xi said with a smile, and fell into Aunt Hong's arms, with a hint of coquettish tone, "Aunt Hong loves me , I keep it in my heart.”

Aunt Hong is most afraid of girls acting like a baby to her, who made it hurt for her not to give birth to a girl?

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Thank you, Aunt Hong."

A coldness flashed across Liu Xi's eyes, and she thought to herself: "Alan, I want you to develop a good memory once, and don't dare to act like this again next time!"

Once a person has something to look forward to, every moment passes extremely slowly.

Although it was only half a day, for Liu Xi, it was as long as half a year.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled the weeds outside the Santushi Gorge, and tired birds fluttered across the sky from time to time, throwing themselves into the forest and finally returning to their nests.

Liu Xi came to the downstairs of Shicheng very early, she looked at the end of the mountain road, she knew that Jing Lan was safe, but she didn't see her figure with her own eyes, Liu Xi's heart was still hanging in her throat, choking uncomfortably.

Mr. Hai stood behind Liu Xi, his palms holding the handle of the wooden cart were sweating, he was a little nervous - the young master said that if he couldn't invite the ghost doctor back in January, the young master would come back.The Flying Pigeon Biography did not mention whether the ghost doctor was invited. If so, Mr. Hai would like to see with his own eyes what the ghost doctor feared by the world looks like.

"Drive!" Uncle Jing Jiu's fast horse appeared at the end of the mountain road first.

Liu Xi only felt her heart beat faster, and stared at the mountain pass without daring to blink.

As soon as Uncle Jing rode up on his fast horse, he ran up to him. He got off his horse happily, and said to Aunt Hong, "The young master invited Miss Shen from the ghost doctor's school to come back. He ordered me to come back quickly and give Miss Shen a room." Go to the room..."

Miss Shen?

Liu Xi originally thought that the ghost doctor should be a bad old man, but seeing Uncle Jing Jiu's happy appearance, Miss Shen must not be an old lady.

Jing Yuan smiled and said: "It seems that our Xiao Wu has grown up."

Jing Tan understood the meaning of Jing Yuan's words, and said with a smile: "Miss Shen must be a good girl, otherwise why would Xiao Wu leave her in Haicheng?"

Liu Xi also knows Jing's rules of hospitality, but most of the guests who come to Haicheng will invite them to live in Kedao temporarily. This is the first time for a girl to stay in Haicheng...

Liu Xi just felt sore, she didn't want to think about anything further, so she asked coldly, "Really?"

Jing Yuan sensed the strong murderous intent in Liu Xi's words, he quietly tugged Jing Tan's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Is sister-in-law angry?"

Jing Tan replied in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, as the head of the family, is in danger alone, and my sister-in-law will definitely take care of him."

"How to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Sister-in-law cleans up Xiao Wu, how can we save Xiao Wu?"

"..."

"Second brother, you have an idea."

"Save Xiao Wu, and make my sister-in-law even more angry, and Xiao Wu will be dealt with even worse."

"It seems... that's right..."

Jing Yuan and Jing Tan's whispering Liu Xi could also hear clearly, even they knew that she would be angry, but that silly girl still had to take risks.

Thinking of this episode, most of the sour feeling that was haunting my heart subsided.

"You still have me."

That night in the side hall of Longling, the unspoken words of Jing Lan rose in Liu Xi's heart, she lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her lips raised slightly involuntarily.

Knowing that it was a dangerous place with a narrow escape, Ah Lan went there without hesitation for her sake.

How could she be willing to really clean her up?

Aunt Hong nodded to Uncle Jing Jiu. Uncle Jing Jiu led the horse and walked quickly to the middle of Haicheng. He remembered the precautions that the young master had instructed, and he would definitely give Shen Jiangli and Zhang Luo a place where he could live with peace of mind. on the room.

But it was strange to say that Uncle Jing Jiu couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect the young master to be interested in girls, he didn't look like a kid who was only 16 years old.

"Xiao Wu!" Aunt Hong raised her eyes to look at the end of the mountain road, and waved happily, only to see Jing Lan and the coachman sitting on the front of the carriage, driving the carriage here leisurely.
