Although Old Man Zou was old, his hands and feet were very quick. He cooked with porridge, pancakes, and only half an hour later, he packed four or five things. When he placed it on the table, Old Man Zou also made a bowl of homemade wild fruit wine for Su Cheng.

"Come on, try this smoky wild boar."

Old Man Zou pushed a plate of meat in front of Su Cheng and Miaoshan.

Miaoshan didn't want to eat the meat when she saw it. Su Cheng had no concerns about this. She rolled the pancakes together with the smoked meat and pickles, ate them hard for several large gulps, and drank two more sips of fruit wine, and felt that the whole body was smooth.

After a bowl of wine, Old Man Zou and Su Cheng started chatting.

"If you want to find a mule and horse shop, if you go down the mountain here, there will be one, and there are five or six mule and horse shops in the county town, which are all for the servants to use for the road."

Old man Zou is old and knowledgeable. When he heard that Su Cheng and Miaoshan were determined to go west, he said, "If I talk about the West, I just know that we are going west in our Longyan County, there are two places, Xiguan and Wujun, and we go west further, then I don't know."

Su Cheng held the wine bowl and touched Old Man Zou for a while, and said, "This is just to walk and check. As long as you aim at a general direction, you will not deviate anywhere."

After a meal, Old Man Zou brought tea again. The bowl was filled with dried soybeans, peanuts and sesame seeds, and some tea leaves were a little, which had a different flavor than the tea water that Su Cheng usually drank.

While drinking tea, Su Cheng also asked Old Man Zou about his son.

"My wife and I originally had three sons."

Old Man Zou put down the tea bowl and sighed and said, "The eldest son went to fight with the war. The second son accidentally fell to death when he was working in Longyan County. The one who worked in the Shen family is the youngest son. He is thirty years old this year. He doesn't say much, but he is diligent and down-to-earth in his work. He usually comes back early when he is working in spring and autumn. I don't know what happened this year, but I just don't come back."

Old Man Zou's child is called Zou San.

"Working outside, I can't help but work. I must have lived too much and I've been hiding there."

Su Cheng smiled, comforted the two old people's hearts, and said, "When Miaoshan and I arrive in Longyan County tomorrow, we will definitely go to the Shen family to report a letter to him and let him finish his work early, so as to avoid worrying you here."

Old Man Zou and Old Mrs. Zou were also relieved when they heard Su Cheng say this.

After the meal was finished, Old Man Zou cleaned up briefly and returned to the house with Old Mrs. Zou. The two rooms for Su Cheng and Miaoshan were given to him.

Miaoshan went back to the house first, and Su Cheng cleaned up briefly in the yard, and then he also wanted to go back to the house.

"Brother Su."

Miaoshan suddenly walked out of the house, blushed and shouted to Su Cheng.

"What's wrong?"

Su Cheng stopped hearing this and looked at Miao Shan. Seeing her face becoming more hazy and more colored under the moonlight.

"I've been walking for a whole day today and my body is covered in sweat. It would be fine if we were sleeping in the wilderness. But I think there is living water in this village. I'm just going alone, and..."

Miaoshan said to Su Cheng in a low voice.

It turns out it is this.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'm guarding you near you."

Miaoshan smiled shyly, cleaned up in the room, and walked towards the riverside with Su Cheng.

The night in the mountains is a little cooler than the one at the foot of the mountain. When the two of them arrived by the river, they felt the chill. They reached out to test the water, which was very cold. The more they went into the mountains, the cooler the river water was a little cooler.

But even so, Miaoshan insisted on washing. In the end, the two of them found a place in the mountains and forests, where there were several natural boulders blocking half of the river and gathering waist-deep water. The riverbed was covered with fine sand, which was a natural and good place to take a bath.

Su Cheng naturally sat in the forest, and could hear Miaoshan rustling there and bathing in the water.

“Miaoshan.”

Su Cheng suddenly spoke and called Miao Shandao.

"What's wrong?"

Miaoshan had just entered the water when she suddenly heard Su Cheng call her. She was flustered and thought about a lot of things.

Su Cheng smiled, stretched out his hand to rub the dragon scale sword, and said, "Don't you feel wrong? On weekdays, there should naturally be groups of insects singing on the mountain, and there were wolf howling. Today we are all the way, have you ever heard insects singing and wolf crying?"

Miaoshan was shocked when she heard Su Cheng's words. She listened carefully to the movements around her. Except for the rustling wind and the dinging spring water, she didn't hear any other sounds. Thinking of the Ghost Festival that Old Man Zou said made Miaoshan feel a little scared. Looking at the darkness on all sides, the child showed his posture and said in a panic: "Brother Su, don't scare me."

"This is not scaring you."

Su Cheng held the dragon scale sword and said with a smile: "I think all this today is because of the knife given to me by the Dragon Girl. The sword has dragon scales, which must be dragon energy. Therefore, jackals, tigers and leopards dare not bother us. Even the flies, insects, moths in the mountains and forests dare not come to us. I think this knife can also suppress ghosts, so you can take a bath with peace of mind." Su Cheng told Miaoshan this topic to make Miaoshan feel at ease.

However, all this discovered today should be the magic of the Dragon Scale Sword.

After all, this is the sword of the White Dragon Horse. The White Dragon Horse is a person who can turn fish into dragons and plants into Ganoderma lucidum. His sword is naturally not an ordinary item.

Miaoshan was still worried, after all, in the middle of the night, there was no one around, and sometimes he couldn't help but think about it. However, when he heard Su Cheng's words, he thought of all this, and felt relieved, lay in the water, washing away all his fatigue.

After washing it for half an hour, Miaoshan took care of herself, gently put on her hair, put on a clean set of clothes and walked out.

Su Cheng was indeed a sincere gentleman. He loved Miaoshan and had no desire to blaspheme. From beginning to end, he sat there honestly. After Miaoshan was washed, he also went to the pool to clean it. The two of them returned to the Zou family together and returned to the wing room to fall asleep.

After dawn, when Su Cheng pushed the door out, it felt a little colder.

Looking up at the sky, I saw the blue sky as if it was washed by the wind. The clouds that were originally hanging in the sky were blown into pieces, like fish scales, with unique colors under the rising sun.

Miao Shan also pushed the door out at this time, wearing white clothes and lotus skirt. After seeing Su Cheng, she smiled with a pursed lips, and for a moment she was like a fairy Linfan.

The two looked at each other and said goodbye to Old Man Zou.

"I have something to tell you."

Old Man Zou looked at Su Cheng and Miao Shan and reminded him: "Today is the Lotus Festival here in Longyan County. If you come to Longyan County, you two must remember two points. First, no matter what you lose in the county, don't look for it anymore. After a while, you should come back. Second, go out and go back and use a basin to look at yourself."

Su Cheng and Miao Shan looked at each other, and they both felt inexplicable, not knowing the origin of this rule.

"The Lotus Festival is three days in total."

Old Man Zou said: "This was the day when Cihang was spending ghosts in our Longyan County, and it was also the Ghost Festival here. It has been passed down to this day. There are many legends about the Lotus Festival, but they are all added and the more they talk, the more mysterious it becomes. When you come to the county town, just pay attention to these."

Real person Cihang?
