After leaving the hut, Shen Lie sat on the ruins outside the yard, looking at the dilapidated eaves of the roof on the other side.
Knowing that nothing would change, he still went to find him.
You are looking for it in vain, you are asking for trouble.
It was Dai Yu who was guarding the post. When he saw Shen Lie sitting there, he came over and called: "Master."
Shen Lie looked at him and said calmly: "Are you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy. I just woke up and changed my shift with Du Xuan."
Shen Lie nodded lightly: "Yes."
"Young master won't sleep?"
Shen Lie raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky.
"Master...are you feeling sad?"
Shen Lie was stunned for a moment and looked at Dai Yu coldly.
"Master, let me tell you the truth, I'm not worth it for you." Dai Yu plucked up the courage and said, "He always comes to you when something happens. He doesn't reply to your letters. He doesn't see you when you look for him, but he doesn't say a word. , you immediately took us from Zuilu to find him. He seems to be nice to everyone and smiles every day, but he also keeps a distance from everyone, even you. You remember how he treated you when you were young. He will never leave you because of his good qualities, but do you think you can still be treated like a brother from him? There is not a single good thing in that family over there."
"This is a matter between us brothers," Shen Lie frowned, "Don't talk about him."
"Obviously he wants to come, but he behaves as if we are urging him along the way. He always remains unmoved and likes to retreat in order to make progress. As for us, in the past six months, we have been working hard and boiling water. During the meal, he was reading a few books over there, not caring about anything, as if nothing could catch his eye. He was quite cold and aloof, no longer interested in fireworks, but his smile... Master, take a look at it clearly. Bar."
"Are you done?" Shen Lie asked.
Dai Yu had a bad tooth, and he didn't want to talk so much.
But after holding it in for a long time, I finally found a chance to speak out. At least my chest was no longer blocked.
"Don't say these words in the future," Shen Lie said coldly, "It's inappropriate."
Dai Yu took a deep breath, cupped his fists and bowed: "I'm sorry, Master, I'm rude."
"I'm not a fool." Shen Lie said very lightly.
Dai Yu paused slightly and looked up at him.
"You go and patrol over there, I'll watch over here."
Dai Yu pursed his lips and nodded: "Yes."
Xia Zhaoyi didn't sleep for long and woke up around nine o'clock.
After boiling some filtered water to drink, gargling her mouth and face, she mounted Qingyun and walked towards the road ahead.
With short legs and short arms, Xia Zhaoyi always let Qingyun run at a trot, not daring to go too fast. But seeing how gentle Qingyun looked, it was hard to imagine how he could run so fast.
There are bright and dark stars in the sky, and the northernmost one is the brightest, which is where Xia Zhaoyi wants to run.
However, she was really not very familiar with this terrain. She only vaguely remembered that if she kept going north, she could probably reach Shoushi or Gaizhou. From there, if she went around the northeast, she could go to Muzhou, Huzhou.
The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are rich, so the disaster there should not be serious, not to mention the tax-heavy areas, the government will pay attention to it.
The wilderness was windy, and the wild village gradually enlarged in her eyes.
When passing by, one mile to the east and one to the west, I seemed to see a low house in the village with one or two candlelights in the distance, and there was a carriage outside.
"We are confused too." Xia Zhaoyi whispered to Qingyun, "Why didn't we think of walking a little further and staying in this village for one night? At least we have a place to protect ourselves from the wind and rain."
Qingyun let out a low cry and sped up his running speed slightly.
The sun gradually rose and then set, and there were dim clouds in the sky. The upper river widened and another branch appeared. In the distance, it looked like a big river, and many small boats could be seen moored on the water.
The lake reflected in the sunset is as colorful as a mirror.
To the northwest, you can see several small villages, and a large number of villagers are running after several government offices.
"Guan Ye, Guan Ye!" several villagers shouted loudly.
"Master, you can't ignore us. What will we do if the other side really comes over?"
"Why don't you just go into the city? We haven't done anything wrong!"
…
Several officers and soldiers explained in a congenial manner, but their explanations were drowned out by the crowd, and they could not hear them clearly.
The officers and soldiers were also feeling bitter, and it was hard to get offended by public anger. In this situation, they did not dare to shout as usual.
As soon as they stopped to explain, they were surrounded by a crowd. Everyone was fine at first, but while they were talking, a few grumpy villagers started to yell.
When the officers and soldiers could no longer bear it anymore and were about to roar back, or simply draw their swords to threaten, I don't know who started it first, looked towards the fields to the south, and said "Hey".
Everyone turned around and saw a little girl about ten years old, riding on a horse, walking quietly.
The girl's hair was tied up and fixed with wooden hairpins, with a few strands hanging down beside her neck.
Her eyes were bright, facing the sunset, and her dark eyes seemed to be dyed with splendor.
She was wearing simple and clean cloth clothes, and her white and tender appearance made her attractive at first sight. It was her little arms and legs that looked a bit funny when she was riding on a horse like this.
Those legs can't even reach the stirrups.
"Which girl, who asked you to ride on the horse?" An officer and soldier pointed his finger, walked over and shouted.
Several other officers and soldiers also wanted to take advantage of the situation and leave, but were held back by the villagers.
"Muzhou Zeng family," Xia Zhaoyi replied, "Have you ever heard of it?"
"What?"
"Zeng family," Xia Zhaoyi's tone was still calm, but his eyes showed some contempt and contempt. He raised his eyes and looked at the river in front, "My grandfather Mr. Zeng He's student was the teacher of Song Shangshu. The Zeng family was a great scholar. You
Never heard of it."
The officers and soldiers had really never heard of it, but judging from the girl's appearance and the vague arrogance in her words, she really felt like she had been living in the world for a long time.
Ordinary girls, who dares to do this? How dare the little brats in this village?
The villagers over there looked over one after another, and a few people were particularly excited.
"That girl over there knows some minister!"
"Did you hear clearly? Is it true or false?"
"Really! What kind of minister is this?" Another person said.
"Girl, girl!" someone shouted, "Girl! You make the decision for us!"
"Girl, wait for me!" Several people ran up past the officers and soldiers.
"Qingyun, let's go." Xia Zhaoyi said.
The horse raised its legs and walked forward again.
"Wait!" The officers and soldiers also ran up, "Miss Zeng, are you alone?"
Xia Zhaoyi looked sideways at him while riding a horse, raising her chin arrogantly: "What, why am I bothering you by myself?"
"You are a little girl, has something happened? This is more or less unsafe, or should we send someone to escort you? The escort can go to Muzhou."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled sweetly: "No need, you can't even comfort the people under your jurisdiction, why are you escorting me?"
