Chapter 7 This lantern is your way back in the future

Li Shang kept coughing. He frowned and stared at the girl: "You...cough...don't make me fall out."

Shen Jingyuan was very angry and left the small courtyard without saying anything: "Then what if you die of illness?"

Her voice, usually soft, finally sounded a little fierce now.

Li Shang watched Shen Jingyuan run out. At this moment, his throat felt very itchy and he couldn't help but cough violently.

Mrs. Yan felt a little distressed when she saw it: "Xiao Shang, don't argue, Xiao Jin'er is doing it for your own good."

Li Shang didn't say anything, just lying in bed sweating.

Mrs. Yan got up and worried: "I'm going to make some ginger soup for you. The wind and cold are getting serious, but it can kill people."

It was getting dark, and Li Shang felt better after drinking the ginger soup cooked by Lin.

But Shen Jingyuan never came back.

Just leave, they are not the same person, Li Shang thought.

He sat outside the courtyard without saying a word, looking at the bright moon in the sky for who knows how long. There was wind at night, and Mrs. Lin was afraid that he would be chilled again, so she urged him to go into the house, and then she and Mr. Lin went out in the dark to look for someone.

One stick of incense passes, two sticks of incense pass.

Li Shang still pulled off his linen clothes and stood up unsteadily.

"Zhao Jinjin! Zhao Jinjin!"

In the forest, a fifteen-year-old boy looked around with a pale mouth and a newly made rough wooden lantern.

He had not recovered from the cold, he was weak and weak, and his throat was extremely uncomfortable. The coughs in the woods along the way seemed to make him cough out his lungs.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

"Cough cough cough...Zhao Jinjin!"

"Where are you...cough Zhao Jinjin!"

"If you don't come out, I will go to Kyoto alone! Cough cough cough cough!"

After calling to the top of the mountain and searching for an hour, Li Shang was a little annoyed when he still couldn't find Zhao Jinjin.

His figure swayed, a little shaky.

"Li Shang? Is that you?"

A soft voice came from the distance. The young man used his last strength to lift the lantern to illuminate it. He saw a little girl not far away with a dirty face and holding herbs in her hand. She was walking towards the moon. The cold moonlight behind her seemed to give her It was covered with a layer of tulle.

Shen Jingyuan was pleasantly surprised. She went out to look for herbs to treat colds but lost her way and couldn't find her way home.

Her road-crazy nature kept her wandering around in the woods. Just when she was too tired to walk, she saw a flash of light in the distance.

She came to Li Shang's side and glanced at the rough little lantern in his hand: "Did you make it?"

Li Shang nodded: "There is no torch in my hometown, ahem, so I can only put the oil lamp in this wooden cage with the little eider duck as a lantern to look for you ahem..."

Shen Jingyuan smiled, feeling that the young man in front of him was indeed smart.

The fifteen-year-old Li Shang was silent for a moment under the moonlight and then said: "Dangquai is really useless. I didn't mean to hurt you. Ahem...come back with me."

He thought Shen Jingyuan left in anger, so he apologized.

Shen Jingyuan smiled and raised the herb in his hand: "Why am I angry with you? I came out to look for the herb. Look, I found it. I went back and boiled it for you to drink. It's ready."

Her curved eyes were as bright as stars, which made Li Shang stunned. He looked at the herbs with some disbelief: "Ahem... you are doing it for me..."

"Of course, otherwise if you die, who will show me the way to Kyoto." She smiled.

Li Shang was silent. After a moment, he raised the lantern in his hand: "If you get lost in the future, I will hang up this lantern everywhere. When you see it, you will know the way back."

Shen Jingyuan smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Although she agreed, she knew that this was impossible. Kyoto was prosperous, and every household hung a lantern with his own palace emblem. If he wanted to lead the way, everyone else's palace would need to be replaced. Only the emperor had such rights. .

Shen Jingyuan didn't think much and just took him back to Lihua Village. It happened that the two of them also returned home. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were safe and sound, and warned him not to leave the village late at night in the future.

Shen Jingyuan said yes repeatedly, and then ran to the kitchen to make some medicine for Li Shang.

Herbal strains treat wind and cold.

After taking a bowl of medicine and sleeping until the next day, Li Shang's illness was cured.

There was some noise outside the courtyard, so he opened the door and went out.

I saw all the villagers in Lihua Village in the yard. The girl in the lead held up the broken pears that were broken by the heavy rain and said: "We don't have to worry about the broken pears that are not in good condition and cannot be sold. Every household will use these broken pears." Remove the broken or rotten parts, remove the pits and stems, wash them clean, then mash them in a stone mortar, squeeze out the juice and pour it into a wine vat, and let it brew for one month."

The girl reminded again: "The longer the pear wine is brewed, the better and more delicious it will be. Whether it is Kyoto or a county town, people will buy the wine."

Bad pears couldn't be sold, so they were reluctant to throw them away. After listening to Shen Jingyuan's words, the villagers thought that winemaking might be feasible, and everyone listened very seriously.

Li Shang was stunned as he looked at Shen Jingyuan, who was shrouded in sunlight at noon.

She knows herbal medicine and wine making, she actually knows so much.

Lihua Village made wine for the first time. After Shen Jingyuan said it, the whole village started to get busy. The villagers were very smart. They could remember the steps she told them only three times, as if they were born in this industry.

When it gets dark, the first wine making in Lihua Village has been completed. Every household has stored away their first jar of wine. They have expectations in their hearts, imagining how the pear wine will taste in a month and whether they can earn money. Point some money.

Li Shang and Shen Jingyuan had been delayed here for several days and were no longer prepared to stay any longer. They planned to set off immediately, but the villagers and Mr. He persuaded them to leave tomorrow.

It was late at night, and the white-haired and hunchbacked Mrs. Lin came into the house with an oil lamp. She carefully stuffed a string of twenty copper coins into the girl's baggage.

Shen Jingyuan opened his eyes at night and was stunned for a moment when he saw the old woman's behavior.

Lai Qian was a little moved in the air: "Really, pure and kind, in such a world, it is not easy for farmers to make money."

Mrs. Yan sighed under the dim oil lamp, turned around and left, closing the door gently.

"Be kind to God, and they will have good retribution through the reincarnation of cause and effect." Shen Jingyuan closed his eyes and fell asleep after saying this.

The next morning, Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang were sent off by Lihua Village. Although they only got to know each other for a few days, Ms. Yan really couldn't bear to leave them. She secretly wiped away tears, not knowing when they would see each other next time.

"Grandma Yan, stop crying." Shen Jingyuan stepped forward to wipe her tears.

Mr. Yan grabbed the hands of Shen Jingyuan and Li Shang and said, "Be careful on the way to Kyoto. Don't get injured or catch the cold. I made some meat cakes and you guys take them with you."

Mr. Lin handed the small bag containing the meat cakes to Li Shang and patted him on the shoulder.

Mr. Yan likes Shen Jingyuan. Although they spend very little time together, they are a match for each other. She will naturally feel reluctant to leave her. Seeing the well-behaved and sensible Shen Jingyuan, Mr. Yan raised his head and helped her tidy up the wind. Messy hair: "Xiao Jin'er, if you can't survive in Kyoto, come back to Grandma Zhen. Grandma likes you. When you come back, Grandma will treat you as her own grandchildren."
