In the early morning, the wind had already stopped, and the winter fog filled the air.There is no red sun, and it is wet and cold.

An Cuo woke up from the bed, opened his eyes and saw the person beside him curled up facing him, the sleeping appearance, calm and peaceful.An Cuo couldn't help smiling, and just about to reach out to touch it, he suddenly stopped his hand.

An Cuo gently pulled out the sleeve that was held tightly by Chang Huan, covered the corner of the quilt for her, got out of bed quietly, and went out.

In the courtyard, in front of the East Wing, Yang Yan was talking with Guo Huai'an, and a carriage with heavy curtains was parked next to it.

At the stable at the southwest corner, Lin Xiao can be seen from afar, feeding the horses with hay.

Yang Yan saw An Cuo approaching, and after saying goodbye to Guo Huai'an, Fang asked with concern, "Chang Huan, how is she...?"

An Cuo's voice was not loud, and he replied lightly, "I haven't woken up yet. I fell asleep in the middle of the night last night."

Yang Yan nodded, did not speak, just looked at the stable, and saw that Lin Xiao had finished feeding the feed, and was leaning against his black horse named Wu Feng, talking in a low voice.

Seeing that Amin put two packages and several water bladders on the carriage, An made a mistake and said, "She won't be able to ride in this carriage."

Yang Yan explained, "Her hands are not healed yet. Besides, although there was no bone injury on her back yesterday, the injury was not shallow. It's better to take a carriage."

An Cuo was expressionless and just repeated, "She won't sit..."

Yang Yan looked at the carriage and said thoughtfully, "Chang Huan...has she told you about her mother?"

An said wrongly, "I said it, but not much."

"How did she tell you?" Regarding this matter, Yang Yan was curious. He rarely touched this topic, and he mentioned it a few times. Either Chang Huan asked the reason, and Yang Yan and Lin Xunyan said it insincerely. Perfunctory.Either Chang Huan changed the topic and didn't want to talk more.

An Cuo's tone was less cold than before, with more imperceptible pity, and said, "Chang Huan said, since she was a child, she has always expected her mother to notice her and care about her more, that's why she worked so hard before. Studying, I want to do my best in everything, but I never get what I want... She always thinks that she is not good enough..."

Wrong, you know what?The more you can't get it, the more you care...

Ah Cuo, I used to think that when disappointment became a habit, there would be no expectations... But as soon as I saw my mother, my heart, which I thought had been calm for a long time, started beating again uncontrollably Read it... and then repeat it like this... Actually, the most tormenting thing is this repetition... But I am so useless, and I can't control myself... Am I very useless?

An Cuo suddenly recalled Chang Huan's expression when he said these words.

An Cuo turned to look at Yang Yan, with a cold tone, and blamed, "What is the difference between her mother's doing this and abandoning her... No--" After a pause, An Cuo shook his head, and said with a wry smile, "If you abandon her, It hurts only once... and living next to you every day, but you can't reach it no matter what you do, this is more cruel than abandoning..."

Of course An Cuo knew that not all families were loving mothers and sons filial.But she knew Chang Huan's nature, but she couldn't understand how Lin Yuer could bear to trample such a beautiful and kind-hearted child without any thought...

Even after learning about Murong Ji, she still didn't understand.

Yang Yan listened quietly, with a serious expression, and did not speak.

An Cuo frowned slightly and looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and said, "But even so, she said, she doesn't hate her mother..."

Yang Yan's heart twitched when he heard the word "no hate", and said, "It's hard to say clearly about emotional matters... let alone the relationship between mother and child... Eldest sister has trapped herself in the cage of hatred all these years. If you can't open, you can't get out. In fact, what can trap you is only your own heart and thoughts..."

Yang Yan turned to look directly at An Cuo as he spoke, and asked, "About Chang Huan, I don't want her to be trapped too, so I hope you can help her get out..."

The door of the guest room creaked, Chang Huan pushed the door out with swollen eyes, stretched, and smiled when he saw An Cuo and Yang Yan, and said as he walked, "Ah Cuo, Uncle, good morning- -" After rubbing his stomach, he said, "What's for breakfast? I'm so hungry--"

It's like last night never happened.

That coquettish tone was the same as always.That smile doesn't seem to be faked.

This smile was beyond Yang Yan and An Cuo's expectations, causing them to look at each other.

Yang Yan pointed to the East Wing, blinked, and said softly, "I'm in the room—I'll wait for you..." From this look, it seemed that he was abnormal to Chang Huan, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Chang Huan shouted loudly, "Uncle, it's time to eat..." Then he saw the carriage in the courtyard and said, "Uncle, this carriage is not for me, is it?!"

Seeing Yang Yan nod his head, Chang Huan said again, "I'd better ride a horse. If I take a car like this, it will be the year of the monkey in Jiangling..."

Seeing that Yang Yan pursed his lips and looked at her unconvinced, An Cuo raised his eyebrows innocently, but seemed to be saying, I told you a long time ago...

At breakfast, Chang Huan ate a lot because he didn't have dinner last night.

In her words, if you are full, you can go on the road.

After dinner, Tong An made a mistake and went back to the house to tidy up briefly, and the four of them rode away from Dong'an Hall and ran towards the west gate.Fortunately, early in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the road except for a few people who set up stalls early in the morning, and they arrived at the gate of the city after a while.

Chang Huan saw from a distance that under the city gate, apart from a few soldiers guarding the city, there were Xie Tianci, Wen Tingzhao and Nian Nian standing beside him with their horses, and they seemed to be here specially to wait for her.

Chang Huan turned his head and said to Yang Yan and An Wrong, "You wait for me in front--"

When Yang Yan and the others slowly passed the gate of the city, Xie Tianci looked warily at An Cuo who was immediately there, but he didn't make any moves.

Chang Huan led the horse and approached slowly, Nian Nian was the first to hold her hand, and said, "Xiao Nuan, why didn't you just leave without saying anything?!"

Chang Huan didn't respond to Nian Nian, but asked, "How do you know I left the city today?"

Xie Tianci said, "It's just a wild guess... I asked the city guard yesterday, and they said they didn't see you leaving the city. I'm here to try my luck today."

Wen Tingzhao tugged at the strap of the burden on his chest, and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, today I will go back to Jiangling with you."

Chang Huan looked at Wen Tingzhao's excited look like a field trip, turned his head to Niannian helplessly and asked, "Aunt Rong's injury, how is it?"

Nian Nian said, "It's much better--" After a pause, he pulled Chang Huan aside, and tentatively whispered, "Don't you...won't you ask Madam?"

Seeing that Chang Huan was silent, Nian Nian said to himself, "Madam has locked herself in her room since she came back to the island yesterday. Xiaonuan, go back and have a look, at least...at least say goodbye... "

Chang Huan saw Xie Tianci and Wen Tingzhao punching each other's chest with a soft fist like a joke, saying their final farewell, then turned his head and took out his purse from his arms and stuffed it into Niannian's hand, saying, "Xiaoyao Island will not be peaceful in the future. Yes, every year, while there is still a chance to come out now, you should make a plan early. You take the money, buy some farms, and live in peace and stability, which is better than anything else."

But Nian Nian said, "But madam is like this now... I don't want to leave, and I can't bear it..." As soon as he said it, he felt a little slip of the tongue, and hurriedly waved his hands, "Xiao Nuan, I didn't mean that..."

Chang Huan smiled unnaturally, and said, "Niannian, if you don't leave, take good care of her for me... If anything happens in the future, you can ask Xie Tianci, he is on Madam's side."

Nian Nian said, "Then you, do you have anything to say, do you need me to convey it to Madam?"

Chang Huan looked at Nian Nian and shook his head cruelly.

There are thousands of words in my heart, but I can't allow her to say it.

If you want to leave, you have to give up.In this way, both parties are good to each other.

Xie Tianci approached and asked, "An Cuo is the killer of Mingyue Tower, do you really want to be with him?"

Chang Huan only explained, "She has already left Mingyue Tower, and you saw her yesterday, she has no ill intentions towards Madam or the Xie family..."

Xie Tianci said solemnly, "I know...if it wasn't for what happened yesterday, it would not be so easy for him to come up with Jiangdong City today..."

Chang Huan stopped talking, turned his head and saw Ah Cuo looking outside the city gate, and said, "I should go—you guys, take care." Then he got on his horse and said goodbye to Niannian and Xie Tianci.

Wen Tingzhao followed Chang Huan, just took a few steps, and couldn't help but look back.

Seeing a person following, Yang Yan asked, "This person, is your friend?"

Chang Huan said, "Wen Tingzhao, Uncle Wen's nephew." Then he turned to introduce Wen Tingzhao, "Yang Yan, my uncle. Lin Xiao, my brother-in-law. An Cuo, you have seen him before."

Yang Yan said with a smile, "So it's Wen Yichen's son...I said boy, on your father's wedding day, I went to have a wedding wine..."

Wen Tingzhao said with a half-blushing face, thinking about the identities and names of these people in his heart, and before he could open his mouth to flatter him in the future, he only heard Lin Xiao urging behind him, "Let's go--"

Chang Huan took a last look east at Jiangdong City. Xiaoyao Island was far beyond the city, so he couldn't see anything.After reading it, he and An Cuo led the way first.Wen Tingzhao and Yang Yan are in the middle, and Lin Xiao is in the rear.

When galloping, Chang Huan looked at the same road as when he came, but now he is in a different state of mind.

On the side of the loess road, there are short grass and broken trees, welcoming and sending many tourists and returning home.

After many years of menstruation, how many separations and reunions, sorrows and joys have you witnessed in the thousands of mortals?

All that can be kept is the roots buried deep in the ground.The only thing that can be accompanied is the eternal dust and the endless smoke of the past.

Because of the rush, the few of them only took a short rest on the way.It wasn't until evening that he arrived at a small town and found an inn to stay.

During dinner, they were the only guests at the first floor hall of the small inn.

Chang Huan watched Wen Tingzhao enthusiastically toast Yang Yan and Lin Xiao, saying Uncle Yang and Uncle Xiao kept yelling.Suddenly, if he wasn't there, the atmosphere along the way would have been another kind of embarrassment.For this reason, he felt somewhat grateful to Wen Tingzhao.

Chang Huan raised his glass and said, "Wen Shaoxia, I respect you--if you hadn't accompanied my uncle and uncle all the way to relieve boredom, they would be bored--"

Seeing Chang Huan toasting, An Cuo poured himself a cup, although he didn't say anything, he drank it down after signaling to Wen Tingzhao.

Seeing this, Wen Tingzhao smiled from ear to ear, drank the wine in the glass, and said, "In front of all heroes, don't dare to call yourself a young hero... I am honored to know Lin Sishao and the Master of Rejuvenation, and... .Fate-chasing sword--I'm afraid I'm going to wake up laughing from my dream--this trip has yielded a lot...It really is, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles..."

Traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people.

After hearing this, Yang Yan looked contented and very useful, eating food and drinking wine in a leisurely manner.

Chang Huan saw that along the way, Wen Tingzhao kept pestering Lin Xiao to teach him a few tricks, but he tried so hard to please Yang Yan, so he couldn't help persuading him, "My uncle's kung fu is very bad, he can't teach you kung fu, this horse I'm afraid the fart was shot for nothing..."

Wen Tingzhao hurriedly put down his wine glass, shook his head, and said, "Sister Lin, you can't say that...you walk the rivers and lakes, I can conclude that there are four kinds of people who absolutely need to befriend..."

Hearing what he said, everyone slowed down their movements, and heard Wen Tingzhao continue, "The first type is a hero with strong martial arts. This kind of expert can give you a lesson when you meet him. It’s much faster than studying the sword manual and groping alone, and it’s even better if you’re lucky enough to be able to learn from a master, don’t you think so, Uncle Xiao...Master?”

Seeing that Wen Tingzhao was so thick-skinned, he talked about the matter of apprenticeship, but Lin Xiao didn't answer, Chang Huan teased, "How old is my brother-in-law than you, do you have the nerve to apprentice?"

Wen Tingzhao argued, "Aspirations don't depend on age. Anyone who can preach, receive karma, and solve doubts can become a master..." He looked at Lin Xiao pitifully as he spoke.

Yang Yandao, "I can consider persuading Lin Xiao to accept you as an apprentice, just keep talking--"

Wen Tingzhao was overjoyed, and said with a smile, "The second type is famous experts who use medicine to detoxify, such as Uncle Yang, who is highly respected and highly skilled in medicine. A rejuvenation sage doctor Yang—how do you say it... People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed... It doesn't matter if they are poisoned by a knife, even if half a foot enters the Palace of Hades, it can kill people To pull it back, the key is that we need someone, right Uncle Yang..."

After Wen Tingzhao got up and poured wine for Yang Yan, he toasted Yang Yan again.

Seeing Yang Yan deliberately walking around in front of Lin Xiao with the wine as if showing off, Lin Xiao, who had been silent all this time, heard this and asked curiously, "Are there two kinds of people?"

Wen Tingzhao continued, "The third type is the craftsman who can forge weapons. Think about it, in addition to being able to walk in the rivers and lakes, the weapon at hand is so important... You can't hit it, slap--sword Broken, the knife is broken, the bow is drawn, hey...where did the string go...right?!"

Chang Huan was amused by his expression and gestures, and urged, "Quickly tell me, where is the fourth type of person?"

Wen Tingzhao deliberately paused, slowly took a mouthful of food, and drank another glass of wine.

Seeing Wen Tingzhao playing tricks, and seeing Chang Huan anxiously waiting for the follow-up, An Cuo said coldly, "Say—"

Wen Tingzhao was terrified by this word, clicked his tongue, and hurriedly said with a smile, "As for the fourth type... Sister Lin, do you know what is the most valuable thing in this world? Let me explain first, it's not human life..."

Chang Huan frowned, just thinking about it, An Mi said, "It's news--"

"Smart!" Wen Tingzhao clapped his hands and said with a smile, "The news is the most important when it's as small as doing business on the go, or as big as a national war! It's the same when walking in the rivers and lakes, so the fourth type of people is those who have news. For example... the people of Mirromon..."

After hearing this, Yang Yan suddenly raised his eyes, and met Lin Xiao's gaze.The two coincided with each other and thought of going to the same place.
