[Xiaofu colleague] What I'm thinking
Chapter 4
(One)
The carriage traveled for tens of miles, and sent Xiaofu to the next town. Xiaofu asked the coachman to return to Hanyang, and hired a horse to continue eastward. Because there were many disturbances along the way, she still changed into a man's clothes and left. .Two days later, when she was having lunch in a restaurant in Huangzhou, a few strong men came. As soon as they entered, the whole restaurant fell silent. Xiaofu heard them sitting at the table behind her, and slightly Turning her head and looking back, she saw that although they were tall and strong, they were not like those rough men. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she turned her head and continued to eat.
Unexpectedly, after a while, she heard the word "Yang Xiao" in the whispered conversation of those people. Xiaofu was shocked, and she didn't know whether these people were enemies or friends with Yang Xiao. As Xiaofu was sitting close to them, she sipped tea and listened carefully with her head slightly raised. She vaguely heard a few words like "My lord", "This is good", "This medicine is very powerful", and she already had something in her heart. For a while, I thought to myself that Yang Xiao might be in trouble, and sure enough, the man sitting with his back to Xiaofu raised his voice and said, "Yang Xiao will fall into our hands this time!" The man hurriedly scolded him: "Keep your voice down, don't let people listen to you!", "There is nothing to be afraid of, he has been poisoned by our special poison now, if he does not take the antidote, he will die a few days after being rescued." Die!", Xiaofu felt him say this, and lightly pinched his waist.
"Boss, pay the bill." After sitting for a while, Xiaofu slapped a piece of broken silver on the table and walked out of the store. She saw a wooden carriage parked at the door. It was also locked, a few horses were tied to the side, and a few other strong men were guarding. They sat beside the carriage and ate dry food, but did not go into the store. Xiaofu nodded secretly, and then hid in the corner, After seeing a few people in the store come out, they went northeast together, and she quietly followed behind. Fortunately, there were not many passers-by along the way, and she was alone, so she didn't attract the attention of those people.
As the evening approached, those people found a town to vote for. Xiao Fu was afraid that they might be suspicious, so she only found another shop diagonally across to vote. At this moment, she was roughly sure that Yang Xiao must have encountered some troubles. in that car.Although she wanted to hide from Yang Xiao on purpose before, she couldn't see that she was dead or not. Hearing what "Prince" was mentioned by those people, it seemed that it was someone from the Yuan court who came to catch Yang Xiao. If he was left alone, he would definitely die. If you want to save him, with your own martial arts, it seems that you can't do anything to those people at all.After being so anxious all night, Xiaofu didn't come up with an idea, so she got up early and stared at the hotel where the few people were staying. When they left, she also rode on the road, thinking that no matter what, she would follow them first.
Halfway through the journey, Xiaofu suddenly caught a glimpse of lavender on the side of the road. She was slightly startled, and immediately dismounted to take a closer look. Then she was overjoyed, and the roadside was indeed delphinium.Xiaofu grew up in Mount Emei for many years and knew many herbs in the mountain. This delphinium is poisonous and has purple flowers. Xiaofu picked it back to the room by mistake. Fortunately, the master found out and told her to throw it out, saying that The whole plant is poisonous, and if swallowed by mistake, it will cause breathing difficulties and nerve paralysis.It's not hard to find this grass on Mount Emei, probably the area is surrounded by mountains, forming a damp valley, so there are many delphiniums growing, which helped her a lot.Xiaofu had an idea in mind, took out a handkerchief from her bag, picked a lot of delphiniums by the root, and rode a horse to choose a path to the front.
Those big men who guarded the carriage traveled until noon, and saw a stall selling tea and food in front of them. ", "If you have anything delicious, just order it!", "Our small shop in the mountains doesn't have any detailed food. If you don't mind, my old woman will make me a pot of herbal tea at home. Drinking saliva to quench thirst is most suitable for pedestrians. I just made a pot of broth when I woke up early, and I will serve a few bowls for some of you." "Hurry up, what are you talking about!" After hearing this, the old man hurried to the kitchen After a while, a few teacups came up with a crock pot of tea, followed by several bowls of broth and a basket of cooking cakes. The meat in them was all big and big, which was amazing to see. Stop drooling.The few people drank tea and said that the tea tasted really good, and it seemed to have a different fragrance. "Our villagers usually pick some flowers and plants to soak in tea and drink it. It can cure all diseases. The masters like me again." I'll add some for you." He said, boiling water and making a full pot of tea.The few people continued to eat and drink, and gradually felt that something was wrong. One person suddenly slammed the table and said, "Old thing! What did you put in this water?!" Then his body tilted and fell heavily. When they were on the ground, the other people became vigilant when they saw this, but before they could get up, they all fainted. The old man was also shocked when he saw this, and sat down on the ground.
At this time, Xiaofu came out from the thatched hut next to the tea stand, holding a sword in one hand and grabbing an old woman in the other. Seeing the scene before her, she first found her sitting in the crowd yesterday The big man behind him found a bottle of something on him, and found the key on another person. He opened the door of the carriage and found that it was Yang Xiao lying inside.
Xiaofu turned around, bowed respectfully to the frightened old couple next to her, and said, "Grandpa, old woman, I offended you just now, I'm sorry, I was also trying to save others, and I was in a hurry. That’s why I made such a bad plan.” Then she took out a few ingots of gold from her waist, handed them to the old man and said, “These people can only be unconscious for half a day after being poisoned, and they wake up after a while, I think you two can’t explain clearly. , these few ingots of gold, your two elders took them out for a while, remember to go to the southwest, and never go to the north.” The old couple looked at each other in disbelief, but they still didn’t dare to go Take that gold.The young man in front of him is so strange, he rushed to their tea stand today, they only thought he was looking for something to eat, but who knew that he kidnapped the old woman and threatened the old man to soak the flowers he gave him in the water, The remaining leaves were boiled into the broth, and sold to some passers-by in carriages according to his orders, and now he handed over the gold respectfully, the few ingots he gave, But it is more than enough for their farmers to live for a few lifetimes! "Second boss, take it quickly." Seeing that they hadn't moved, Xiaofu knew that they were still afraid: "I hurt you two today to save people, and I feel uneasy. You two took the money and escaped so that there is someone close by." ", said and stuffed the gold into the old man's hand, turned around and went to the carriage to help Yang Xiao.
The old couple had no children. When the times were bad, they couldn't even eat enough, and there were no valuables in the house. Now that this happened, they had earned enough for several lifetimes. He is not a bad person, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was lucky. The old man hurriedly asked his old woman to go to the house to pack a few clothes, and he helped Xiaofu to hang Yang Xiao on the horse. The tea stall didn't care. He took his old woman and fled for his life in the southwest direction.

It was very inconvenient for Xiaofu to take Yang Xiao with her, so she drove some distance and found a village, but she was afraid that if she went to lodge, she would be suspicious, so she found a ruined temple outside the village and hid Yang Xiao, pretending to be a passerby, I went to a nearby farm to buy some things, fearing that those people would find them and dare not start a fire, so I used straw to make a cushion for Yang Xiao under the moonlight, and sat down beside him.
Xiaofu took out the small bottle she found from those people, but she didn't know if it was the antidote to the poison on Yang Xiao's body. She wanted to give it to Yang Xiao, but she was afraid that it would hurt him instead, so she hesitated for a long time, and finally turned some powder into it. Entering a bowl of water, thinking that if it is the antidote, it must be harmless, and if it is the poison, I will take it as bad luck, so I take a big gulp first, and after a while, seeing that there is no slight discomfort, I dissolve some medicine powder in the In the water, feed Yang Xiao little by little.After another two hours, although Yang Xiao did not wake up, but Xiaofu heard that he was gradually breathing, not as quiet as before, so she was slightly relieved, and fed him some white water up.Xiaofu was terrified for a long time, and she was exhausted from running around again. Seeing that Yang Xiao was fast asleep, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep with her sword in her arms.
In the middle of the night, Yang Xiao woke up in a trance, the eyes were pitch black, he didn't know where he was, he only knew that he was in the secret room of Prince Taiyong's mansion, or that he had already gone to the underworld, he closed his eyes again to calm himself down , but his hand touched his body, which seemed to be covered with a girl's gauze, which was dry and refreshing, with a little fragrance, and then opened his eyes, but under the slight moonlight, he saw that he was sleeping soundly against the wall. Xiao Fu. "Miss Ji?" Yang Xiao was startled, thinking that he was wrong, he struggled to stand up, but his stomach hurt badly, he walked up to Xiaofu and took a look, and heard her panting slightly, the moonlight Her face was especially pale, her lips were tightly closed, as if she was extremely tired. Seeing that there was indeed a living Xiaofu in front of him, Yang Xiao was agitated and stretched out his hand to touch her. He took his hand back.He went outside the house and saw that the surrounding old trees and broken branches were a bit desolate, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were a few barking dogs from the nearby village. Back in the temple, he saw Xiaofu just sitting beside him and fell asleep. Although he didn't know the cause and effect, he also vaguely felt that his salvation must be related to Xiaofu. The clothes that had been covering him earlier covered her lightly, but he was still a little weak, and fell asleep again as soon as he lay down.
On the second day, Yang Xiao got up earlier, and when Xiao Fu woke up, he had already begun to heal his wounds with the help of the slight morning light. "Ah! You really woke up?!" Seeing this scene, Xiaofu couldn't help calling out in surprise. Yang Xiao smiled at her and asked, "I saved my life, may I ask Miss Ji to save me?" Me?" Xiaofu nodded: "I met a few strong men in Huangzhou, and I heard in their conversation that there seemed to be a prince, Yang Xiao, who was poisoned by us, so I followed them, and it really was them I caught you." Xiaofu knew that Yang Xiao was very skilled in martial arts, so she asked, "How did you fall into the hands of so few people?" "Now that I think about it, I should have left Hanyang. Which pier did they stare at?" I, and then secretly bribed the people on my ship to poison me. It was a specially prepared poison in the palace. It was colorless and tasteless. It was mixed in my food, but I didn’t taste it at all.”, “How did you offend me? People in the palace?", "Once upon a time, I had a subordinate who was ordered to be an undercover agent and revealed his identity. The whole family was killed by the current Emperor Yuan's younger brother, King Taiyong. In order to avenge them, I injured Taiyong. Many masters under the king not only weakened his ability greatly, but also lost face, so he was determined to catch me, but unexpectedly, I was careless this time, and they actually resorted to such tricks as poisoning After hearing what he said, Xiaofu put her head on her hands and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I avenged you." She told him how to save Yang Xiao, which made him laugh out loud Get up: "They have always understood poison, but in terms of flowers and trees, they are naturally not as good as Miss Ji who grew up in Mount Emei. Who would have thought that a flower can poison people." He looked at Xiao Xiao in front of him. Fu looked just waking up, her face was flushed and cute, she hesitated for a while and asked: "By the way, Miss Ji, why are you alone, where are the people who are traveling with you?", "I haven't found my sister-in-law yet How about you guys, how can anyone go with me?" Xiaofu didn't know that Yang Xiao was asking about Yin Liting, so she answered without thinking, Yang Xiao also secretly scolded herself for being paranoid at this moment, Xiaofu is the most polite and cautious person, as long as she is not mature enough Marriage, most likely would not go the same way as Yin Liting, so he smiled and said that he was confused, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the sky was already bright, Yang Xiao saw that the two of them were very uncomfortable sitting like this, so he asked Xiaofu: "Where is Miss Ji going next, why don't you go first, I have detoxified, and now It's okay, I will find a chance to repay your kindness in the future." Xiaofu didn't answer, Wei Wei thought for a while and asked, "Then where are you going?" "I have no idea, but this time I won't die after all. Now, I’ll go slowly alone.” Yang Xiao saw Xiaofu ponder for a moment, and then she said: “You just got detoxified, so it’s not convenient to be alone.”, “It’s okay.” Yang Xiao Then she stood up: "Look at me..." Before she could finish her sentence, her legs softened and she sat on the ground. Xiao Fu hurried forward to help him, but when she touched his clothes, His face flushed, and he quickly retracted his hands, "Don't bother Miss Ji, I'll get up by myself." Yang Xiao stood up slowly while supporting the window sill. "You still say you can do it. How can you do it like this? Where are you going? There must be a direction." Xiaofu turned her back and said to Yang Xiao. She heard that Yang Xiao seemed to be thinking for a while, Then he said: "Our Mingjiao has a Zhuangzi in Tongcheng, and some brothers from the sect guard there. I'll go and recover from my injuries for a while." "Tongcheng? That's not too close." Xiaofu turned her head After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he mustered up a lot of courage. Yang Xiao was also a little surprised when she heard her say with some pretended calmness: "Why don't I take you there, and I'll leave when you arrive." She looked at Xiaofu carefully: "So, isn't it too tiring for Miss Ji?" "It's okay, you haven't recovered your skills yet, it's dangerous to be alone, I'll hire a carriage, let's go quickly.", Said Seeing Xiaofu go out without looking back, Yang Xiao stood in the ruined temple, leaning on the wall and smiled foolishly, thinking this time it was a blessing in disguise.
When Xiaofu came back, she not only drove the carriage, but also bought some food and drink. She said that there were no prosperous places around, so she had to make a living first, and then buy some good ones when she found a bigger town.Yang Xiao smiled and said nothing, he got into the carriage and said he should be the driver, but Xiaofu refused anyway, she still wore men's clothes and drove in front, and let him luck in the car, so it was hard for him to refuse .Through a curtain, Yang Xiao heard the sound of Xiaofu driving a horse outside, and the rumble of wheels on the road. He stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the curtain, and saw some broken shadows coming from the trees on both sides of the road. , I couldn't help but feel some emotions about the quietness of the years.
(three)
On the way to Tongcheng, there was no disturbance. Because Xiaofu was worried about Yang Xiao's injury, she kept on her way without stopping. They found an inn at night and Yang Xiao was worried that Xiaofu would go to the store with him even if she was wearing men's clothes Still can't make it through, every time I tell her to ask for a room first, and then go by herself, so in a few days, I arrived in Tongcheng smoothly, but the poison Yang Xiaozhong had was specially made in the palace, it was really powerful, even though he had already taken the antidote , but restrained the power in his body, it still made him feel powerless from time to time. For a person with such profound power like him, it will take a while to adjust his breath by luck.
The Zhuangzi mentioned by Yang Xiao was in the mountains on the outskirts of Tongcheng. Xiaofu knew that this was the Mingjiao's consistent practice in order to obtain information conveniently, and set up branch offices or properties in many places.The Zhuangzi is very unique. Although the place is not big, the houses are all made of bamboo, and the yard is also surrounded by bamboo fences. There are no fields around, just a continuous bamboo garden. Less than half a mile away, there is a clear road. creek.It is summer now, standing in the shade of bamboo, but it makes people feel extremely cool.
After Yang Xiao took Xiaofu into the courtyard, a strong man with the appearance of a monk came out to meet him. He was slightly surprised and called out: "Yang Zuoshi?" Seeing that Yang Xiao seemed to be weak, he helped her up. Yang Xiao asked: "What's wrong with you?", "It's okay, but I was poisoned, I'll tell you later" Yang Xiao waved his hand and said. "Since you're here, I'll leave while it's still early." Xiaofu saw that Yang Xiao's subordinates were there, so she didn't want to stay any longer.The fan monk's name is Sai Keli, and he has been with Yang Xiao for a long time. Yang Xiao used to be kind to their brother. He used to patronize Yang Xiao, and when he heard Xiao Fu's words, he turned his face to look at her carefully, and then He secretly laughed in his heart: "Although this person is dressed as a young master, he is clearly a beautiful young lady." He has always known Yang Xiao quite well, although Yang Xiao didn't say anything at the moment, Sai Keli could tell, the young lady said When he was about to leave, the left envoy frowned slightly, walked forward, bowed his hands respectfully to Xiaofu, and said, "Master, we didn't have many brothers here, and we have something important to do today." To do it, I have to go in person. I'm afraid some people will suffer if it's too late. Zuo Yang just arrived, so I shouldn't leave, but this matter concerns many people. It's very important. Can you please take care of me here? Zuo Yang has been envoy Yang for two days, and now I see him is very weak, if the young master can show you kindness, our Mingjiao will be grateful, and you can take a rest before leaving." Seeing that Xiaofu didn't answer, Sai Keli took another Inquiring, she called out: "Master?" Finally, after a moment of contemplation, Xiaofu nodded slightly: "These two or three days should be enough?", "It must be enough." Sai Keli again He bowed to Xiaofu and smiled inwardly.
"Okay, Sai Keli, if you have anything to do, hurry up and take care of it." Seeing that Yang Xiao still had no expression when he said this to him, Sai Keli suddenly became happy, "Tsk tsk, Zuo Envoy Yang met People who can take care of him." He saluted Yang Xiao, thinking about it while walking, and then hurried to the fields of the surrounding villages, found all the brothers who were helping the farmers irrigate the rice fields, and told They don't want to bother Zhuangzi during this time, and they all do things well in their own places, and they don't reveal their identities without his order. "Food is the most important thing for the people. Isn't irrigation of the rice fields a major issue for the people? Why have I, Sai Keli, ever lied?" He rubbed his nose with his hands and thought to himself.
It was already afternoon at that time. After Sai Keli left, the two of them sat in the living room without saying a word. Yang Xiao knew that Sai Keli's actions were probably on purpose. He was afraid that Xiao Fu would find out and be angry with him. If she didn't speak, he didn't dare to ask.After a while, Xiaofu seemed to have figured it out. She turned her head and asked Yang Xiao, "Which room do you live in?" Yang Xiao turned his head and thought for a while before answering, "You live in the room facing south, and I live in the room facing north." Xiaofu didn't refuse, stood up and went out. After a while, Yang Xiao looked over and saw that she had cleaned the room where he was going to live, and returned to her room, where she was packing her luggage.After a while, Xiaofu went to the kitchen again, searched in those cabinets, and found some small dried fish and rice. The Mingjiao brothers in Tongcheng usually live in seclusion in various places inside and outside the city. There are only one or two people guarding the village. Sai Keli only came to see it every once in a while. Besides, they all came here when they gathered, so they didn’t prepare much food, and they bought it when they needed it. Xiaofu looked at these things at a loss. There were a few big bamboo shoots, and some peas grew scattered in the yard, and there was no shortage of oil and salt. Xiaofu cooked rice and beans, fried bamboo shoots and small dried fish, just in time for dinner.
Looking at the food in front of him, Yang Xiao thanked Xiaofu, saying that he had eaten with Xiaofu a few times, but he hadn't tasted the dishes Xiaofu made by himself. Let’s do some work today, and tomorrow I’ll go to the market to buy some vegetables.” Xiaofu concealed her panic, pretending to be calm and eating the food in the bowl, Yang Xiao didn’t say the food was delicious or bad Eat, just smile at Xiaofu every time she raises her head.
At night when the lights were on, Xiaofu told Yang Xiao to go back to her room to have a good rest, and then she went back to her own room. The courtyard was quiet, but Xiaofu suddenly felt embarrassed. Although she used to travel with Yang Xiao, she either had a crew member on the boat, or was on the boat. There are other guests in the inn, none of them were single men or widows, or they were just staying for one night in a hurry, but today they live in this Zhuangzi, although there are two rooms, there are only Yang Xiao and himself. Before Yin Liting came to Hanyang, the family all I was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to live at home, and my uncle would pick him up to live in his own home, so how could it be better now.The more Xiaofu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She thought that it would be good to get through these few days, and only hoped that Yang Xiao's subordinate would come back soon.The previous few days were tiring, and Xiaofu was always worried that they would be caught up by Yang Xiao's enemies. Now that she was here, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She slept very well this night. When she was woken up by the sound of birds in the morning, it was just dawn. , she got up and lit a fire to cook porridge and waited for Yang Xiao to eat together. She said that today she would go to the market in the city to buy something. If he went far away, he just felt weak now, Xiaofu thought he was more familiar with this place than she was, so she agreed.
After a while, Yang Xiao accompanied Xiaofu to the surrounding farms. The folk customs here are simple and honest. When the farmers heard that they wanted to buy their own food and vegetables, they all brought out the good ones for them to choose. Xiaofu said that the poison in Yang Xiao’s body had not been eliminated. I don't want him to help me with anything, but Yang Xiao is asked to go to the door to ask someone to buy things. Yang Xiao knows that she is thin-skinned and embarrassed, so he respectfully asks someone.After buying all the things and returning to the village, Xiaofu cooked a few fresh and light side dishes, but slowly boiled a pot of chicken soup in a casserole. The whole yard was full of fragrance. When the noodles come out, boil the noodles and put them in a bowl, serve with chicken soup, tear the chicken breast into thin shreds and sprinkle on it, and add some chopped green onions.Standing at the door of the kitchen, Yang Xiao watched her doing these things, and suddenly felt that the past 30 years had been wasted. At the age of 20, he became the bright left envoy of Mingjiao, who was under one person and above ten thousand people. I'm afraid it's not just this martial arts. At that time, as long as the brothers in the teaching went down the mountain and went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion for a drink at night, the women would all rush to join him, but he was cold, not a smash hit. The top card doesn't care at all, they are often extremely beautiful, but when he turns around, he forgets those appearances, lingering in the flowers, but no girl cooks for herself like this.

After four or five days like this, only Sai Keli and the others came back, Xiao Fu was always worried about leaving, and was very anxious, so she asked Yang Xiao, "Why haven't your men come back, didn't they say Is two or three days enough?" Yang Xiao knew that Sai Keli would not show up within ten days and half a month, even if he came back, he would not let Xiaofu know, and would only come to him secretly, so he replied : "How can they be accurate in what they say? Those who run the rivers and lakes are either delayed by this incident or stumbled by that incident. Who knows where they have gone at this moment. If something happened, they have already returned to the light." It might even happen." Seeing Xiaofu's puzzled expression, he was worried that she would suspect that they did it on purpose, and said, "My body is already in good shape, and I can run and move by myself. In fact, there is no need to bother Miss Ji. If you I have something to do." Yang Xiao paused, "You can leave first, I'll wait for them here." Xiaofu knew that Yang Xiao's health was fine now, but ever since she knew that King Taiyong's people were looking for Yang Xiao everywhere, Worried that Yang Xiao had offended a lot of people on weekdays. Now that his martial arts has not yet recovered, if someone finds him to seek revenge, it will be impossible without someone by his side. After hearing Yang Xiao's words, she didn't answer, and went into her room in embarrassment. , Cooked dinner for Yang Xiao as usual in the evening, and didn't mention half a word about leaving, so Yang Xiao felt relieved.After the meal, Xiaofu packed up the dishes and urged Yang Xiao to go back to the room to rest. Just as she turned around and walked to the door, Yang Xiao suddenly called her: "Xiaofu, Sai Keli and the others haven't come back for so many days. I'm afraid they really have something to do. I won't be back for a while, I see that it is very inconvenient for you to wear men's clothes all day long, you can change back to women's clothes if you want, even if you meet them, they don't dare to talk too much, you don't have to worry." Xiaofu turned her head Staring at Yang Xiao for a while, she only asked, "How do you know my name?" Yang Xiao smiled softly, "I heard your second sister-in-law call you." After standing for a while, without answering Yang Xiao's words, he went back to the room and closed the door.
Yang Xiao was worried that Xiaofu would be angry with him, but the more he thought about it in the middle of the night, the more he regretted it. If he insisted on doing this, he could just ask her as if he didn't know her name. If he insisted on telling her, in case she left What should I do? At night, I listened carefully to Xiaofu's movement, but I didn't sleep well all night. I woke up at dawn and heard noises outside. I ran out to have a look, but saw Xiaofu was watering the flowers in the courtyard, wearing She was dressed in water-green clothes, and she was wearing her hair in a bun. When she heard Yang Xiao open the door, she turned her face to look at him, and asked, "Did you wake up so early?" Yang Xiao felt relieved, afraid of her Annoyed, she couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so she just replied casually: "I'm hungry." Xiaofu turned her face to continue watering the flowers, and replied slowly: "I will cook for you later." Yang Xiao saw She still wears the hairpin she gave her by her temples.
"Today I will accompany you to go shopping in the city." Yang Xiao said while eating breakfast. He saw Xiaofu changed into women's clothes, and he knew that she was ready to stay for a longer time, so he thought that he couldn't stay with her all day long. She is bored here, and needs to take her to find something fun every day, but he has never given much thought to girls, except for clothes and jewelry, he can't think of anything else she likes. "It's so far away. This trip will tire you again." Xiaofu shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's walk slowly." Xiaofu still shook her head, then tilted her head and thought for a while, and said: " If you feel bored here, you can cut some bamboo for me later, and I'll teach you how to weave things." Yang Xiao didn't expect Xiaofu to do this, so he responded with a smile: "This is strange, let me see if you can do it." Make up something fun."After eating, Xiaofu sat in the yard and wove a few trinkets out of grass. Yang Xiao helped her cut the bamboo into strips, and she wove those bamboo strips into a small basket. Yang Xiao kept holding it in his hand. Look, lamented that Xiaofu can still do these things. "At that time, we were on the mountain, and we didn't have much fun. Everyone could only find fun in these things. This was taught to us by a senior sister. She knew more. They were all vivid, and I couldn't do it. It's still far away." After a while, Xiaofu got up to wash the rice and pick vegetables, and Yang Xiao walked around in the yard alone, not knowing what he was doing. When he returned to the room in the afternoon, the bamboo basket was placed behind the chair. On the flower stand, there were some flowers stuck in a mess, one long and one short, and they didn't look good. Xiaofu couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that Yang Xiao did this, but also disliked herself for being clumsy. The ground was not pretty, and she didn't want to put it in a conspicuous place, so she quietly hid it on the flower stand against the wall. Xiaofu took the basket down again and put it on the table in the main hall. He didn't mention it, so she didn't ask him.
Yang Xiao found that Xiaofu's attitude towards him was gradually becoming less unfamiliar. During the period of waiting for Sai Keli's return, Yang Xiao's skills recovered a lot, and he could have recovered faster, but he was always worried that once he recovered, As for him and Xiaofu himself, there is no reason for her to stay. He clearly understands something in his heart, but he always secretly denies himself. Sometimes even himself finds it funny when he thinks about it. Everyone looked at him as arrogant, but he dared not even have such a certainty.
So he could only do superficial things. He took Xiaofu to pick wild fruits in the mountains, but found that he knew much less fruits than Xiaofu. I will go pick fruit to eat, if I don’t know these things, if I pick the poisonous sisters and eat them, wouldn’t it be possible to kill the whole Emei pie?” Yang Xiao also said that he wanted to catch rabbits for Xiaofu, Xiaofu laughed and replied Said: "Who is still playing with rabbits at such an age.", "Before you saw people selling rabbits at the market, you really liked it.", "The wild rabbits run so fast, Yang Zuoshi is afraid these days Even a rabbit can't handle it." Xiaofu said and stretched out her hand to make a shameful expression on Yang Xiao. Seeing her innocent and lively appearance, Yang Xiao just smiled and didn't argue with her.After a day or two, I made another fishing rod and took Xiaofu to go fishing by the river. Xiaofu didn't think about fishing at all, she only praised the scenery of the river bay, and went to play by herself. Yang Xiao wanted to catch some fish. When the fish came for Xiaofu to eat, she didn't care about her, she just sat down and just watched the fishing rod, but Xiaofu wanted to play tricks on him, and after a while, she appeared from nowhere, and threw a few stones into the river , "Miss Ji! How can you do such a thing, a good girl! You pay me for the fish!" Yang Xiao pretended to be angry, but Xiao Fu was not afraid of him. She turned her face to the side and smiled secretly. Yang Xiao's favorite From time to time, her dignified disposition revealed a bit of a little girl's demeanor, and she only smiled lightly. He didn't catch the last fish, so he had to catch a few crabs, put them in the fish basket and bring them back to Zhuangzi. Said it was for Xiaofu to keep and play.
Since the beginning of summer, the weather has gradually become hotter. The mountains and lakes in Tongcheng are facing each other. From time to time, it rains for a short time. Xiaofu pulls out all the weeds in the yard and finds the flower seedlings. Yang Xiao sees her and starts to make Knowing that she was no longer in a hurry to leave every day for these things that had to be waited for, he somehow felt at ease. He pointed to those flowers and asked Xiaofu one by one, "This is rose, this is peony, and here is Begonia, the one next to the wall is Ling Xiao." Xiaofu's mother has a lot of experience in planting flowers, so Xiaofu is not bad at all. She felt that it was her own merit to repair the yard, so she raised her chin proudly He said to Yang Xiao confidently, "This yard will look much better in the spring of next year." After hearing these words, Yang Xiao only hoped that he would slow down and stay with Xiaofu for a longer time.
(Fives)
Yang Xiao has never realized that he has so much patience. In the past, he didn't restrain his temper when he was reading and striding, but now he can slowly dig the soil for Xiaofu in the garden when she is busy cooking.Xiaofu's cooking skills are actually very average, let alone Yang Xiao who has traveled to so many places and eaten so much food, even an ordinary villager can only say that it is light and delicate, not delicious.In fact, Xiaofu was very mediocre in many girls' homework. When Yang Xiao saw that her cuff was torn that day, he reminded her to mend it.Yang Xiao thought, this is not a problem. Xiaofu was never locked up at home to learn about these female celebrities since she was a child. no?On the contrary, she looks very cute when she sometimes tries to force herself to do these jobs.
He was thinking about this today, when the courtyard door suddenly slammed into two halves and flew to the left and right. Yang Xiao sat on the steps in the courtyard and hadn't realized it yet, but Xiaofu, who was picking flowers with a basket, was closer to the door. I didn't care about anything else, just raised my eyes to stare at Xiaofu, and saw that she threw the basket towards the door, and threw it at a man in black who rushed in. Her saber was hanging in the room, so she picked up a nearby one The branch stabbed at the man. "Xiaofu, don't!" Yang Xiao jumped to Xiaofu's side and got up when a few thunders exploded behind him. He reached out to support Xiaofu, but she was already slapped heavily on the chest by that person. , Yang Xiao held her in his arms, she fell limply, Yang Xiao took the branch in her hand, and swung it in the direction of the man, the branch went straight into the man's chest, and he fell down with a heavy sound on the ground.Seeing that there was no one else except the man in black, Yang Xiao quickly hugged Xiao Fu to lie down on the couch. Fortunately, Xiao Fu was still awake at the moment, "Xiao Fu, how are you?" Yang Xiao asked her eagerly, She just shook her head, and struggled to utter a few words after a long while: "Are you okay?" Yang Xiao hugged Xiaofu into his arms, resting his chin on her head: "Fool, I've already recovered." , Xiaofu listen
The carriage traveled for tens of miles, and sent Xiaofu to the next town. Xiaofu asked the coachman to return to Hanyang, and hired a horse to continue eastward. Because there were many disturbances along the way, she still changed into a man's clothes and left. .Two days later, when she was having lunch in a restaurant in Huangzhou, a few strong men came. As soon as they entered, the whole restaurant fell silent. Xiaofu heard them sitting at the table behind her, and slightly Turning her head and looking back, she saw that although they were tall and strong, they were not like those rough men. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she turned her head and continued to eat.
Unexpectedly, after a while, she heard the word "Yang Xiao" in the whispered conversation of those people. Xiaofu was shocked, and she didn't know whether these people were enemies or friends with Yang Xiao. As Xiaofu was sitting close to them, she sipped tea and listened carefully with her head slightly raised. She vaguely heard a few words like "My lord", "This is good", "This medicine is very powerful", and she already had something in her heart. For a while, I thought to myself that Yang Xiao might be in trouble, and sure enough, the man sitting with his back to Xiaofu raised his voice and said, "Yang Xiao will fall into our hands this time!" The man hurriedly scolded him: "Keep your voice down, don't let people listen to you!", "There is nothing to be afraid of, he has been poisoned by our special poison now, if he does not take the antidote, he will die a few days after being rescued." Die!", Xiaofu felt him say this, and lightly pinched his waist.
"Boss, pay the bill." After sitting for a while, Xiaofu slapped a piece of broken silver on the table and walked out of the store. She saw a wooden carriage parked at the door. It was also locked, a few horses were tied to the side, and a few other strong men were guarding. They sat beside the carriage and ate dry food, but did not go into the store. Xiaofu nodded secretly, and then hid in the corner, After seeing a few people in the store come out, they went northeast together, and she quietly followed behind. Fortunately, there were not many passers-by along the way, and she was alone, so she didn't attract the attention of those people.
As the evening approached, those people found a town to vote for. Xiao Fu was afraid that they might be suspicious, so she only found another shop diagonally across to vote. At this moment, she was roughly sure that Yang Xiao must have encountered some troubles. in that car.Although she wanted to hide from Yang Xiao on purpose before, she couldn't see that she was dead or not. Hearing what "Prince" was mentioned by those people, it seemed that it was someone from the Yuan court who came to catch Yang Xiao. If he was left alone, he would definitely die. If you want to save him, with your own martial arts, it seems that you can't do anything to those people at all.After being so anxious all night, Xiaofu didn't come up with an idea, so she got up early and stared at the hotel where the few people were staying. When they left, she also rode on the road, thinking that no matter what, she would follow them first.
Halfway through the journey, Xiaofu suddenly caught a glimpse of lavender on the side of the road. She was slightly startled, and immediately dismounted to take a closer look. Then she was overjoyed, and the roadside was indeed delphinium.Xiaofu grew up in Mount Emei for many years and knew many herbs in the mountain. This delphinium is poisonous and has purple flowers. Xiaofu picked it back to the room by mistake. Fortunately, the master found out and told her to throw it out, saying that The whole plant is poisonous, and if swallowed by mistake, it will cause breathing difficulties and nerve paralysis.It's not hard to find this grass on Mount Emei, probably the area is surrounded by mountains, forming a damp valley, so there are many delphiniums growing, which helped her a lot.Xiaofu had an idea in mind, took out a handkerchief from her bag, picked a lot of delphiniums by the root, and rode a horse to choose a path to the front.
Those big men who guarded the carriage traveled until noon, and saw a stall selling tea and food in front of them. ", "If you have anything delicious, just order it!", "Our small shop in the mountains doesn't have any detailed food. If you don't mind, my old woman will make me a pot of herbal tea at home. Drinking saliva to quench thirst is most suitable for pedestrians. I just made a pot of broth when I woke up early, and I will serve a few bowls for some of you." "Hurry up, what are you talking about!" After hearing this, the old man hurried to the kitchen After a while, a few teacups came up with a crock pot of tea, followed by several bowls of broth and a basket of cooking cakes. The meat in them was all big and big, which was amazing to see. Stop drooling.The few people drank tea and said that the tea tasted really good, and it seemed to have a different fragrance. "Our villagers usually pick some flowers and plants to soak in tea and drink it. It can cure all diseases. The masters like me again." I'll add some for you." He said, boiling water and making a full pot of tea.The few people continued to eat and drink, and gradually felt that something was wrong. One person suddenly slammed the table and said, "Old thing! What did you put in this water?!" Then his body tilted and fell heavily. When they were on the ground, the other people became vigilant when they saw this, but before they could get up, they all fainted. The old man was also shocked when he saw this, and sat down on the ground.
At this time, Xiaofu came out from the thatched hut next to the tea stand, holding a sword in one hand and grabbing an old woman in the other. Seeing the scene before her, she first found her sitting in the crowd yesterday The big man behind him found a bottle of something on him, and found the key on another person. He opened the door of the carriage and found that it was Yang Xiao lying inside.
Xiaofu turned around, bowed respectfully to the frightened old couple next to her, and said, "Grandpa, old woman, I offended you just now, I'm sorry, I was also trying to save others, and I was in a hurry. That’s why I made such a bad plan.” Then she took out a few ingots of gold from her waist, handed them to the old man and said, “These people can only be unconscious for half a day after being poisoned, and they wake up after a while, I think you two can’t explain clearly. , these few ingots of gold, your two elders took them out for a while, remember to go to the southwest, and never go to the north.” The old couple looked at each other in disbelief, but they still didn’t dare to go Take that gold.The young man in front of him is so strange, he rushed to their tea stand today, they only thought he was looking for something to eat, but who knew that he kidnapped the old woman and threatened the old man to soak the flowers he gave him in the water, The remaining leaves were boiled into the broth, and sold to some passers-by in carriages according to his orders, and now he handed over the gold respectfully, the few ingots he gave, But it is more than enough for their farmers to live for a few lifetimes! "Second boss, take it quickly." Seeing that they hadn't moved, Xiaofu knew that they were still afraid: "I hurt you two today to save people, and I feel uneasy. You two took the money and escaped so that there is someone close by." ", said and stuffed the gold into the old man's hand, turned around and went to the carriage to help Yang Xiao.
The old couple had no children. When the times were bad, they couldn't even eat enough, and there were no valuables in the house. Now that this happened, they had earned enough for several lifetimes. He is not a bad person, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was lucky. The old man hurriedly asked his old woman to go to the house to pack a few clothes, and he helped Xiaofu to hang Yang Xiao on the horse. The tea stall didn't care. He took his old woman and fled for his life in the southwest direction.

It was very inconvenient for Xiaofu to take Yang Xiao with her, so she drove some distance and found a village, but she was afraid that if she went to lodge, she would be suspicious, so she found a ruined temple outside the village and hid Yang Xiao, pretending to be a passerby, I went to a nearby farm to buy some things, fearing that those people would find them and dare not start a fire, so I used straw to make a cushion for Yang Xiao under the moonlight, and sat down beside him.
Xiaofu took out the small bottle she found from those people, but she didn't know if it was the antidote to the poison on Yang Xiao's body. She wanted to give it to Yang Xiao, but she was afraid that it would hurt him instead, so she hesitated for a long time, and finally turned some powder into it. Entering a bowl of water, thinking that if it is the antidote, it must be harmless, and if it is the poison, I will take it as bad luck, so I take a big gulp first, and after a while, seeing that there is no slight discomfort, I dissolve some medicine powder in the In the water, feed Yang Xiao little by little.After another two hours, although Yang Xiao did not wake up, but Xiaofu heard that he was gradually breathing, not as quiet as before, so she was slightly relieved, and fed him some white water up.Xiaofu was terrified for a long time, and she was exhausted from running around again. Seeing that Yang Xiao was fast asleep, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep with her sword in her arms.
In the middle of the night, Yang Xiao woke up in a trance, the eyes were pitch black, he didn't know where he was, he only knew that he was in the secret room of Prince Taiyong's mansion, or that he had already gone to the underworld, he closed his eyes again to calm himself down , but his hand touched his body, which seemed to be covered with a girl's gauze, which was dry and refreshing, with a little fragrance, and then opened his eyes, but under the slight moonlight, he saw that he was sleeping soundly against the wall. Xiao Fu. "Miss Ji?" Yang Xiao was startled, thinking that he was wrong, he struggled to stand up, but his stomach hurt badly, he walked up to Xiaofu and took a look, and heard her panting slightly, the moonlight Her face was especially pale, her lips were tightly closed, as if she was extremely tired. Seeing that there was indeed a living Xiaofu in front of him, Yang Xiao was agitated and stretched out his hand to touch her. He took his hand back.He went outside the house and saw that the surrounding old trees and broken branches were a bit desolate, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and there were a few barking dogs from the nearby village. Back in the temple, he saw Xiaofu just sitting beside him and fell asleep. Although he didn't know the cause and effect, he also vaguely felt that his salvation must be related to Xiaofu. The clothes that had been covering him earlier covered her lightly, but he was still a little weak, and fell asleep again as soon as he lay down.
On the second day, Yang Xiao got up earlier, and when Xiao Fu woke up, he had already begun to heal his wounds with the help of the slight morning light. "Ah! You really woke up?!" Seeing this scene, Xiaofu couldn't help calling out in surprise. Yang Xiao smiled at her and asked, "I saved my life, may I ask Miss Ji to save me?" Me?" Xiaofu nodded: "I met a few strong men in Huangzhou, and I heard in their conversation that there seemed to be a prince, Yang Xiao, who was poisoned by us, so I followed them, and it really was them I caught you." Xiaofu knew that Yang Xiao was very skilled in martial arts, so she asked, "How did you fall into the hands of so few people?" "Now that I think about it, I should have left Hanyang. Which pier did they stare at?" I, and then secretly bribed the people on my ship to poison me. It was a specially prepared poison in the palace. It was colorless and tasteless. It was mixed in my food, but I didn’t taste it at all.”, “How did you offend me? People in the palace?", "Once upon a time, I had a subordinate who was ordered to be an undercover agent and revealed his identity. The whole family was killed by the current Emperor Yuan's younger brother, King Taiyong. In order to avenge them, I injured Taiyong. Many masters under the king not only weakened his ability greatly, but also lost face, so he was determined to catch me, but unexpectedly, I was careless this time, and they actually resorted to such tricks as poisoning After hearing what he said, Xiaofu put her head on her hands and smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I avenged you." She told him how to save Yang Xiao, which made him laugh out loud Get up: "They have always understood poison, but in terms of flowers and trees, they are naturally not as good as Miss Ji who grew up in Mount Emei. Who would have thought that a flower can poison people." He looked at Xiao Xiao in front of him. Fu looked just waking up, her face was flushed and cute, she hesitated for a while and asked: "By the way, Miss Ji, why are you alone, where are the people who are traveling with you?", "I haven't found my sister-in-law yet How about you guys, how can anyone go with me?" Xiaofu didn't know that Yang Xiao was asking about Yin Liting, so she answered without thinking, Yang Xiao also secretly scolded herself for being paranoid at this moment, Xiaofu is the most polite and cautious person, as long as she is not mature enough Marriage, most likely would not go the same way as Yin Liting, so he smiled and said that he was confused, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the sky was already bright, Yang Xiao saw that the two of them were very uncomfortable sitting like this, so he asked Xiaofu: "Where is Miss Ji going next, why don't you go first, I have detoxified, and now It's okay, I will find a chance to repay your kindness in the future." Xiaofu didn't answer, Wei Wei thought for a while and asked, "Then where are you going?" "I have no idea, but this time I won't die after all. Now, I’ll go slowly alone.” Yang Xiao saw Xiaofu ponder for a moment, and then she said: “You just got detoxified, so it’s not convenient to be alone.”, “It’s okay.” Yang Xiao Then she stood up: "Look at me..." Before she could finish her sentence, her legs softened and she sat on the ground. Xiao Fu hurried forward to help him, but when she touched his clothes, His face flushed, and he quickly retracted his hands, "Don't bother Miss Ji, I'll get up by myself." Yang Xiao stood up slowly while supporting the window sill. "You still say you can do it. How can you do it like this? Where are you going? There must be a direction." Xiaofu turned her back and said to Yang Xiao. She heard that Yang Xiao seemed to be thinking for a while, Then he said: "Our Mingjiao has a Zhuangzi in Tongcheng, and some brothers from the sect guard there. I'll go and recover from my injuries for a while." "Tongcheng? That's not too close." Xiaofu turned her head After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he mustered up a lot of courage. Yang Xiao was also a little surprised when she heard her say with some pretended calmness: "Why don't I take you there, and I'll leave when you arrive." She looked at Xiaofu carefully: "So, isn't it too tiring for Miss Ji?" "It's okay, you haven't recovered your skills yet, it's dangerous to be alone, I'll hire a carriage, let's go quickly.", Said Seeing Xiaofu go out without looking back, Yang Xiao stood in the ruined temple, leaning on the wall and smiled foolishly, thinking this time it was a blessing in disguise.
When Xiaofu came back, she not only drove the carriage, but also bought some food and drink. She said that there were no prosperous places around, so she had to make a living first, and then buy some good ones when she found a bigger town.Yang Xiao smiled and said nothing, he got into the carriage and said he should be the driver, but Xiaofu refused anyway, she still wore men's clothes and drove in front, and let him luck in the car, so it was hard for him to refuse .Through a curtain, Yang Xiao heard the sound of Xiaofu driving a horse outside, and the rumble of wheels on the road. He stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the curtain, and saw some broken shadows coming from the trees on both sides of the road. , I couldn't help but feel some emotions about the quietness of the years.
(three)
On the way to Tongcheng, there was no disturbance. Because Xiaofu was worried about Yang Xiao's injury, she kept on her way without stopping. They found an inn at night and Yang Xiao was worried that Xiaofu would go to the store with him even if she was wearing men's clothes Still can't make it through, every time I tell her to ask for a room first, and then go by herself, so in a few days, I arrived in Tongcheng smoothly, but the poison Yang Xiaozhong had was specially made in the palace, it was really powerful, even though he had already taken the antidote , but restrained the power in his body, it still made him feel powerless from time to time. For a person with such profound power like him, it will take a while to adjust his breath by luck.
The Zhuangzi mentioned by Yang Xiao was in the mountains on the outskirts of Tongcheng. Xiaofu knew that this was the Mingjiao's consistent practice in order to obtain information conveniently, and set up branch offices or properties in many places.The Zhuangzi is very unique. Although the place is not big, the houses are all made of bamboo, and the yard is also surrounded by bamboo fences. There are no fields around, just a continuous bamboo garden. Less than half a mile away, there is a clear road. creek.It is summer now, standing in the shade of bamboo, but it makes people feel extremely cool.
After Yang Xiao took Xiaofu into the courtyard, a strong man with the appearance of a monk came out to meet him. He was slightly surprised and called out: "Yang Zuoshi?" Seeing that Yang Xiao seemed to be weak, he helped her up. Yang Xiao asked: "What's wrong with you?", "It's okay, but I was poisoned, I'll tell you later" Yang Xiao waved his hand and said. "Since you're here, I'll leave while it's still early." Xiaofu saw that Yang Xiao's subordinates were there, so she didn't want to stay any longer.The fan monk's name is Sai Keli, and he has been with Yang Xiao for a long time. Yang Xiao used to be kind to their brother. He used to patronize Yang Xiao, and when he heard Xiao Fu's words, he turned his face to look at her carefully, and then He secretly laughed in his heart: "Although this person is dressed as a young master, he is clearly a beautiful young lady." He has always known Yang Xiao quite well, although Yang Xiao didn't say anything at the moment, Sai Keli could tell, the young lady said When he was about to leave, the left envoy frowned slightly, walked forward, bowed his hands respectfully to Xiaofu, and said, "Master, we didn't have many brothers here, and we have something important to do today." To do it, I have to go in person. I'm afraid some people will suffer if it's too late. Zuo Yang just arrived, so I shouldn't leave, but this matter concerns many people. It's very important. Can you please take care of me here? Zuo Yang has been envoy Yang for two days, and now I see him is very weak, if the young master can show you kindness, our Mingjiao will be grateful, and you can take a rest before leaving." Seeing that Xiaofu didn't answer, Sai Keli took another Inquiring, she called out: "Master?" Finally, after a moment of contemplation, Xiaofu nodded slightly: "These two or three days should be enough?", "It must be enough." Sai Keli again He bowed to Xiaofu and smiled inwardly.
"Okay, Sai Keli, if you have anything to do, hurry up and take care of it." Seeing that Yang Xiao still had no expression when he said this to him, Sai Keli suddenly became happy, "Tsk tsk, Zuo Envoy Yang met People who can take care of him." He saluted Yang Xiao, thinking about it while walking, and then hurried to the fields of the surrounding villages, found all the brothers who were helping the farmers irrigate the rice fields, and told They don't want to bother Zhuangzi during this time, and they all do things well in their own places, and they don't reveal their identities without his order. "Food is the most important thing for the people. Isn't irrigation of the rice fields a major issue for the people? Why have I, Sai Keli, ever lied?" He rubbed his nose with his hands and thought to himself.
It was already afternoon at that time. After Sai Keli left, the two of them sat in the living room without saying a word. Yang Xiao knew that Sai Keli's actions were probably on purpose. He was afraid that Xiao Fu would find out and be angry with him. If she didn't speak, he didn't dare to ask.After a while, Xiaofu seemed to have figured it out. She turned her head and asked Yang Xiao, "Which room do you live in?" Yang Xiao turned his head and thought for a while before answering, "You live in the room facing south, and I live in the room facing north." Xiaofu didn't refuse, stood up and went out. After a while, Yang Xiao looked over and saw that she had cleaned the room where he was going to live, and returned to her room, where she was packing her luggage.After a while, Xiaofu went to the kitchen again, searched in those cabinets, and found some small dried fish and rice. The Mingjiao brothers in Tongcheng usually live in seclusion in various places inside and outside the city. There are only one or two people guarding the village. Sai Keli only came to see it every once in a while. Besides, they all came here when they gathered, so they didn’t prepare much food, and they bought it when they needed it. Xiaofu looked at these things at a loss. There were a few big bamboo shoots, and some peas grew scattered in the yard, and there was no shortage of oil and salt. Xiaofu cooked rice and beans, fried bamboo shoots and small dried fish, just in time for dinner.
Looking at the food in front of him, Yang Xiao thanked Xiaofu, saying that he had eaten with Xiaofu a few times, but he hadn't tasted the dishes Xiaofu made by himself. Let’s do some work today, and tomorrow I’ll go to the market to buy some vegetables.” Xiaofu concealed her panic, pretending to be calm and eating the food in the bowl, Yang Xiao didn’t say the food was delicious or bad Eat, just smile at Xiaofu every time she raises her head.
At night when the lights were on, Xiaofu told Yang Xiao to go back to her room to have a good rest, and then she went back to her own room. The courtyard was quiet, but Xiaofu suddenly felt embarrassed. Although she used to travel with Yang Xiao, she either had a crew member on the boat, or was on the boat. There are other guests in the inn, none of them were single men or widows, or they were just staying for one night in a hurry, but today they live in this Zhuangzi, although there are two rooms, there are only Yang Xiao and himself. Before Yin Liting came to Hanyang, the family all I was worried that it would be inconvenient for him to live at home, and my uncle would pick him up to live in his own home, so how could it be better now.The more Xiaofu thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She thought that it would be good to get through these few days, and only hoped that Yang Xiao's subordinate would come back soon.The previous few days were tiring, and Xiaofu was always worried that they would be caught up by Yang Xiao's enemies. Now that she was here, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She slept very well this night. When she was woken up by the sound of birds in the morning, it was just dawn. , she got up and lit a fire to cook porridge and waited for Yang Xiao to eat together. She said that today she would go to the market in the city to buy something. If he went far away, he just felt weak now, Xiaofu thought he was more familiar with this place than she was, so she agreed.
After a while, Yang Xiao accompanied Xiaofu to the surrounding farms. The folk customs here are simple and honest. When the farmers heard that they wanted to buy their own food and vegetables, they all brought out the good ones for them to choose. Xiaofu said that the poison in Yang Xiao’s body had not been eliminated. I don't want him to help me with anything, but Yang Xiao is asked to go to the door to ask someone to buy things. Yang Xiao knows that she is thin-skinned and embarrassed, so he respectfully asks someone.After buying all the things and returning to the village, Xiaofu cooked a few fresh and light side dishes, but slowly boiled a pot of chicken soup in a casserole. The whole yard was full of fragrance. When the noodles come out, boil the noodles and put them in a bowl, serve with chicken soup, tear the chicken breast into thin shreds and sprinkle on it, and add some chopped green onions.Standing at the door of the kitchen, Yang Xiao watched her doing these things, and suddenly felt that the past 30 years had been wasted. At the age of 20, he became the bright left envoy of Mingjiao, who was under one person and above ten thousand people. I'm afraid it's not just this martial arts. At that time, as long as the brothers in the teaching went down the mountain and went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion for a drink at night, the women would all rush to join him, but he was cold, not a smash hit. The top card doesn't care at all, they are often extremely beautiful, but when he turns around, he forgets those appearances, lingering in the flowers, but no girl cooks for herself like this.

After four or five days like this, only Sai Keli and the others came back, Xiao Fu was always worried about leaving, and was very anxious, so she asked Yang Xiao, "Why haven't your men come back, didn't they say Is two or three days enough?" Yang Xiao knew that Sai Keli would not show up within ten days and half a month, even if he came back, he would not let Xiaofu know, and would only come to him secretly, so he replied : "How can they be accurate in what they say? Those who run the rivers and lakes are either delayed by this incident or stumbled by that incident. Who knows where they have gone at this moment. If something happened, they have already returned to the light." It might even happen." Seeing Xiaofu's puzzled expression, he was worried that she would suspect that they did it on purpose, and said, "My body is already in good shape, and I can run and move by myself. In fact, there is no need to bother Miss Ji. If you I have something to do." Yang Xiao paused, "You can leave first, I'll wait for them here." Xiaofu knew that Yang Xiao's health was fine now, but ever since she knew that King Taiyong's people were looking for Yang Xiao everywhere, Worried that Yang Xiao had offended a lot of people on weekdays. Now that his martial arts has not yet recovered, if someone finds him to seek revenge, it will be impossible without someone by his side. After hearing Yang Xiao's words, she didn't answer, and went into her room in embarrassment. , Cooked dinner for Yang Xiao as usual in the evening, and didn't mention half a word about leaving, so Yang Xiao felt relieved.After the meal, Xiaofu packed up the dishes and urged Yang Xiao to go back to the room to rest. Just as she turned around and walked to the door, Yang Xiao suddenly called her: "Xiaofu, Sai Keli and the others haven't come back for so many days. I'm afraid they really have something to do. I won't be back for a while, I see that it is very inconvenient for you to wear men's clothes all day long, you can change back to women's clothes if you want, even if you meet them, they don't dare to talk too much, you don't have to worry." Xiaofu turned her head Staring at Yang Xiao for a while, she only asked, "How do you know my name?" Yang Xiao smiled softly, "I heard your second sister-in-law call you." After standing for a while, without answering Yang Xiao's words, he went back to the room and closed the door.
Yang Xiao was worried that Xiaofu would be angry with him, but the more he thought about it in the middle of the night, the more he regretted it. If he insisted on doing this, he could just ask her as if he didn't know her name. If he insisted on telling her, in case she left What should I do? At night, I listened carefully to Xiaofu's movement, but I didn't sleep well all night. I woke up at dawn and heard noises outside. I ran out to have a look, but saw Xiaofu was watering the flowers in the courtyard, wearing She was dressed in water-green clothes, and she was wearing her hair in a bun. When she heard Yang Xiao open the door, she turned her face to look at him, and asked, "Did you wake up so early?" Yang Xiao felt relieved, afraid of her Annoyed, she couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so she just replied casually: "I'm hungry." Xiaofu turned her face to continue watering the flowers, and replied slowly: "I will cook for you later." Yang Xiao saw She still wears the hairpin she gave her by her temples.
"Today I will accompany you to go shopping in the city." Yang Xiao said while eating breakfast. He saw Xiaofu changed into women's clothes, and he knew that she was ready to stay for a longer time, so he thought that he couldn't stay with her all day long. She is bored here, and needs to take her to find something fun every day, but he has never given much thought to girls, except for clothes and jewelry, he can't think of anything else she likes. "It's so far away. This trip will tire you again." Xiaofu shook her head and said, "It's okay, let's walk slowly." Xiaofu still shook her head, then tilted her head and thought for a while, and said: " If you feel bored here, you can cut some bamboo for me later, and I'll teach you how to weave things." Yang Xiao didn't expect Xiaofu to do this, so he responded with a smile: "This is strange, let me see if you can do it." Make up something fun."After eating, Xiaofu sat in the yard and wove a few trinkets out of grass. Yang Xiao helped her cut the bamboo into strips, and she wove those bamboo strips into a small basket. Yang Xiao kept holding it in his hand. Look, lamented that Xiaofu can still do these things. "At that time, we were on the mountain, and we didn't have much fun. Everyone could only find fun in these things. This was taught to us by a senior sister. She knew more. They were all vivid, and I couldn't do it. It's still far away." After a while, Xiaofu got up to wash the rice and pick vegetables, and Yang Xiao walked around in the yard alone, not knowing what he was doing. When he returned to the room in the afternoon, the bamboo basket was placed behind the chair. On the flower stand, there were some flowers stuck in a mess, one long and one short, and they didn't look good. Xiaofu couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that Yang Xiao did this, but also disliked herself for being clumsy. The ground was not pretty, and she didn't want to put it in a conspicuous place, so she quietly hid it on the flower stand against the wall. Xiaofu took the basket down again and put it on the table in the main hall. He didn't mention it, so she didn't ask him.
Yang Xiao found that Xiaofu's attitude towards him was gradually becoming less unfamiliar. During the period of waiting for Sai Keli's return, Yang Xiao's skills recovered a lot, and he could have recovered faster, but he was always worried that once he recovered, As for him and Xiaofu himself, there is no reason for her to stay. He clearly understands something in his heart, but he always secretly denies himself. Sometimes even himself finds it funny when he thinks about it. Everyone looked at him as arrogant, but he dared not even have such a certainty.
So he could only do superficial things. He took Xiaofu to pick wild fruits in the mountains, but found that he knew much less fruits than Xiaofu. I will go pick fruit to eat, if I don’t know these things, if I pick the poisonous sisters and eat them, wouldn’t it be possible to kill the whole Emei pie?” Yang Xiao also said that he wanted to catch rabbits for Xiaofu, Xiaofu laughed and replied Said: "Who is still playing with rabbits at such an age.", "Before you saw people selling rabbits at the market, you really liked it.", "The wild rabbits run so fast, Yang Zuoshi is afraid these days Even a rabbit can't handle it." Xiaofu said and stretched out her hand to make a shameful expression on Yang Xiao. Seeing her innocent and lively appearance, Yang Xiao just smiled and didn't argue with her.After a day or two, I made another fishing rod and took Xiaofu to go fishing by the river. Xiaofu didn't think about fishing at all, she only praised the scenery of the river bay, and went to play by herself. Yang Xiao wanted to catch some fish. When the fish came for Xiaofu to eat, she didn't care about her, she just sat down and just watched the fishing rod, but Xiaofu wanted to play tricks on him, and after a while, she appeared from nowhere, and threw a few stones into the river , "Miss Ji! How can you do such a thing, a good girl! You pay me for the fish!" Yang Xiao pretended to be angry, but Xiao Fu was not afraid of him. She turned her face to the side and smiled secretly. Yang Xiao's favorite From time to time, her dignified disposition revealed a bit of a little girl's demeanor, and she only smiled lightly. He didn't catch the last fish, so he had to catch a few crabs, put them in the fish basket and bring them back to Zhuangzi. Said it was for Xiaofu to keep and play.
Since the beginning of summer, the weather has gradually become hotter. The mountains and lakes in Tongcheng are facing each other. From time to time, it rains for a short time. Xiaofu pulls out all the weeds in the yard and finds the flower seedlings. Yang Xiao sees her and starts to make Knowing that she was no longer in a hurry to leave every day for these things that had to be waited for, he somehow felt at ease. He pointed to those flowers and asked Xiaofu one by one, "This is rose, this is peony, and here is Begonia, the one next to the wall is Ling Xiao." Xiaofu's mother has a lot of experience in planting flowers, so Xiaofu is not bad at all. She felt that it was her own merit to repair the yard, so she raised her chin proudly He said to Yang Xiao confidently, "This yard will look much better in the spring of next year." After hearing these words, Yang Xiao only hoped that he would slow down and stay with Xiaofu for a longer time.
(Fives)
Yang Xiao has never realized that he has so much patience. In the past, he didn't restrain his temper when he was reading and striding, but now he can slowly dig the soil for Xiaofu in the garden when she is busy cooking.Xiaofu's cooking skills are actually very average, let alone Yang Xiao who has traveled to so many places and eaten so much food, even an ordinary villager can only say that it is light and delicate, not delicious.In fact, Xiaofu was very mediocre in many girls' homework. When Yang Xiao saw that her cuff was torn that day, he reminded her to mend it.Yang Xiao thought, this is not a problem. Xiaofu was never locked up at home to learn about these female celebrities since she was a child. no?On the contrary, she looks very cute when she sometimes tries to force herself to do these jobs.
He was thinking about this today, when the courtyard door suddenly slammed into two halves and flew to the left and right. Yang Xiao sat on the steps in the courtyard and hadn't realized it yet, but Xiaofu, who was picking flowers with a basket, was closer to the door. I didn't care about anything else, just raised my eyes to stare at Xiaofu, and saw that she threw the basket towards the door, and threw it at a man in black who rushed in. Her saber was hanging in the room, so she picked up a nearby one The branch stabbed at the man. "Xiaofu, don't!" Yang Xiao jumped to Xiaofu's side and got up when a few thunders exploded behind him. He reached out to support Xiaofu, but she was already slapped heavily on the chest by that person. , Yang Xiao held her in his arms, she fell limply, Yang Xiao took the branch in her hand, and swung it in the direction of the man, the branch went straight into the man's chest, and he fell down with a heavy sound on the ground.Seeing that there was no one else except the man in black, Yang Xiao quickly hugged Xiao Fu to lie down on the couch. Fortunately, Xiao Fu was still awake at the moment, "Xiao Fu, how are you?" Yang Xiao asked her eagerly, She just shook her head, and struggled to utter a few words after a long while: "Are you okay?" Yang Xiao hugged Xiaofu into his arms, resting his chin on her head: "Fool, I've already recovered." , Xiaofu listen
