Back at the inn, it was already late at night, Xiao Jinlian was in shock, and Li Yu was in a state of excitement.
His first adventure was fruitful. He couldn't wait to close the door, let Jin Lian light the lamp, and took out the bamboo slips on the table.
These bamboo slips were so damaged that they should have turned into mud long ago, but their original shape can still be seen completely.
During his time here, Li Yu understood something. His ability to save people was undoubted, but his ability to fight was really limited.
Several life-or-death moments required either help from others or sudden changes.
"Brother Li Yu, what is this?"
"I'm also studying it."
"Oh, do you want tea?" Although Xiao Jinlian is just a little maid, she has been used to seeing big winds and waves after following Li Yu for the past few days.
Although what happened tonight was scary, she didn't take it to heart. Compared with the mountain ghost and tiger demon last night, it was nothing more than childishness.
"What tea?" Li Yu didn't want to drink the mixed tea at this time.
The tea of the Song Dynasty was relatively advanced among the Six Dynasties, and was roughly divided into two types.
One type is a simple tea drink, which is made by brewing only one kind of tea leaves.
One type is mixed tea, which is made by mixing tea leaves with various other items, crushing them, or brewing or decoction.
It’s pepper and aniseed, so it tastes particularly sour and refreshing.
Xiao Jinlian brought him a bowl, squinting her eyes like two crescent moons, and said with a smile: "It was sent by Shopkeeper He. Shopkeeper He is really a good person."
Of course he is a good man, I saved his life, otherwise I wouldn’t even give you a piece of tea foam.
Li Yu didn't say anything, and was still studying the bamboo slips. Little Jinlian had already taken off her Taoist robe, and was walking back and forth holding the book Li Yu gave her in her arms.
She wanted to ask what kind of book it was, but she was afraid that Li Yu would laugh at her for being illiterate.
She was sold by her parents to the home of Zhang Dahu, who was just an evil country gentry. He was not from a scholarly family. He didn't have much ink in his stomach, and he couldn't teach his maids how to read.
She sat next to Li Yu and wanted to ask several times, but was too embarrassed to ask.
Li Yu studied very carefully, almost seeing through every inch of this bamboo slip.
Little Jinlian was at the table, holding her cheek in her hand, staring at Li Yu.
...
"It's really evil. You say it's junk, but it can rot but not rot. You say it's treasure, but there's no clue at all."
Li Yu was a little annoyed and pushed the bamboo slip away, only to find that Xiao Jinlian had fallen asleep in front of him.
"Lian'er?"
After calling out and getting no response, Li Yu stretched out his hand and poked her arm, but still no response.
Li Yu had no choice but to get up, pick her up and put her on the bed to rest.
The little girl is lying in his arms, wearing the narrow-sleeved dress he bought for her, with two snowy mounds stretching out the dress. Her glossy black hair hangs behind her shoulders, and her bangs are lightly combed in front of her forehead, although she is not wearing makeup.
, but still captivating, like a naturally charming and enchanting creature.
After putting her on the bed, Li Yu removed her shoes and socks and covered her with a quilt. Suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten to ask Shopkeeper He to open another room.
I was trying to protect her last night, but what should I do tonight? Everyone else must have been asleep in the middle of the night.
Li Yu walked to the window sill, put the bamboo slips in his luggage, and blew out the candles.
The little Golden Lotus on the bed secretly opened her eyes, her cheeks were flushed, but it turned out that she was pretending to sleep.
She turned her head sideways and took a peek, only to see Li Yu leaning against the window, apparently asleep.
"Brother Li Yu is such a good person..."
Little Jinlian put her face on the soft and comfortable quilt and slowly fell asleep, sleeping more peacefully than ever before.
The moonlight shines through the window lattice and shines under the window. The withered vine of the old man in the luggage slowly changes from the decayed gray-black to the brown-yellow color of the ordinary bamboo slip.
One by one, shining words appeared on the bamboo slips, and the stones next to them were also disturbed. They circled the bamboo slips, as if they had no interest, then fell down again, and stayed quietly in the corner of the luggage, tightly.
Leaning against dead vines.
Li Yu knew nothing about everything in this suitcase. He was worried about another thing.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Lian'er's graceful figure. At such a young age, she was so charming in words, and her behavior was so naturally charming that even she couldn't hide it.
That nasty body...
"What's going on lately? My Taoist heart is always unstable. It must be caused by the broken stone..."
"Otherwise it's just the perverted snake yesterday..."
"It's not my nature to be lustful..."
---
It was dawn, and a few cock crows could be heard in the distance.
Li Yu stretched out, and he didn't know when a thin layer of quilt appeared on his body.
"Hey!" The door was pushed open, and a graceful figure carefully stepped over the threshold, and it was Lian'er who was holding a porcelain basin of water.
"Brother Li Yu, are you awake? Wash your face." Xiao Jinlian's cheeks were red and she shouted loudly, obviously deliberately.
Li Yu was a little surprised. Just wash your face. What did you yell?
He then remembered that he had taught her a lesson yesterday to make her more confident, so the little girl tried to speak a little louder.
"After tidying up and bowing, we'll have one last meal with Shopkeeper He and then set off!"
"Ah? Don't we live here anymore?"
Little Jinlian had become accustomed to living there, and when she heard that she was leaving, she felt very reluctant to leave.
Li Yu nodded and said: "Go to Bianliang, Tokyo, and find some junior brothers and sisters for you."
Everyone in the Song Dynasty knew Bianliang, Tokyo. It was rumored to be the most prosperous city in the entire Six Dynasties, even surpassing Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty.
It is a place of first-class wealth and prosperity, with beautiful buildings and jade buildings, and numerous boats and boats. It is a land of gentle flowers and willows.
"oh..."
Little Jinlian responded. Although she still packed her bags obediently, she felt somewhat unhappy.
Brother Li Yu cares about me very much, but he will soon have someone else come to share this happiness with him.
Obviously it's not enough for one person...you have to share it with others.
Shopkeeper He, who had had a good night's sleep for the first time in a long time, took out all the cash in the store when he heard that Mr. Xiao was leaving.
"We are in a hurry, so you didn't tell us in advance. The little Taoist priest must take this little money. It's a long way to Tokyo. Maybe it can last three to five days."
Li Yu weighed it and found that it was about seven or eight taels. For an ordinary person, this was already a lot of wealth.
In this world, there are not many people who can repay kindness, so Li Yu took it with a smile.
"Shopkeeper He, do you have jade?"
"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Li Yu took the initiative to ask for it. Shopkeeper He was stunned for a while and immediately said: "Yes, yes, you are saying that I, an old fool, have forgotten this."
After saying that, he took off a jade medal from his belt. The quality was not of high quality, but it was obvious that shopkeeper He was very concerned about it.
After all, he is not a rich man. This jade medal is probably a family heirloom. Being able to take it out shows that he has a good character.
In the past few days, Li Yu was aware of what he had to eat and use, and also spent a lot of money to buy clothes for Lian'er.
Li Yu pinched it with his fingers, and a green halo wrapped around his fingers.
He casually poured this circle of green light into the jade tablet. Li Yu immediately did the same thing again, but this time it was water vapor.
The originally ordinary wooden sign had a circle of green ripples and a circle of transparent water vapor inside. The two auras were intertwined with each other and kept swimming inside the jade sign.
Li Yu returned the jade plaque and said with a smile: "Wearing this on your body will protect you from diseases and ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters."
