"Let's set off for Qingchuan City tomorrow." Set off early to avoid being too hasty on the road.
"Okay." Si Haochen nodded.
On the first day of the new year, I took a book from the bookstore and found the teahouse according to the mark left by the master: "Master, Madam."
Mingruo saw the two heavy bundles of books in Chu Yi's hand: "Thank you for your hard work. The wonton noodles in this restaurant are good. You go and eat some first."
"Ah?" Chu Yi was a little confused. It was already time for dinner. Why did Madam let him have snacks?
With just one look, Si Haochen ran away to eat wonton noodles on the first day of the new year. The moment he closed the box door, his wife told him to eat more.
Monk Chu Yi Zhang Er was confused, but according to the experience taught by Shi Shi - just listen to the wife and get things done. Even if something goes wrong, the wife can handle it for the master. As long as they obey, they will be fine.
On the first day of the new year, I followed my master around for a day, and I was really hungry. I ordered three bowls of wonton noodles, finished them with Xilihulu, and went back to the box to wait for instructions.
Si Haochen took out a few letters, some of which needed to be sent to Helian Jue, and some of which needed to be sent by secret guards. Finally, the master also said that he would leave for Qingchuan City tomorrow and needed to prepare carriages for all those who were going back to Donghuan.
Secret guards accompany him.
On the first day of the new year, I was filled with gratitude to my wife. If my wife hadn't given him a full meal before, and wanted to arrange everything before dawn, I would have had no time to eat.
On the first day of the new year, Si Haochen was ordered to go to work. Si Haochen carefully looked through the "Zhongzhou Topography". Mingruo leaned against the window lattice and looked at the academy opposite. It was getting late now, but the library opposite was brightly lit, and there were still people holding it.
Wearing lanterns and torches, we went up to the rockery behind the academy.
"This is a lamp and a fire, so I'm not afraid of setting the library on fire..." Mingruo said to herself, "They are probably... looking for us, right?"
Si Haochen raised his head and glanced across the way, then said leisurely: "It's not necessarily that I'm looking for a book."
"That's right." There is also a map of Zhongzhou attached to the book. It should be a very precious book. "My vision is as good as ever."
"Yeah." Si Haochen had a smile on his lips and returned his gaze to the map.
Mingruo also came over to look at it together. Judging from the size of the map annotation, the entire Zhongzhou was almost as big as Hainan Island, but the climate was richer. Yunling City at the southernmost point was not very hot, while Beidi at the northernmost point was not very hot.
There are also continuous snow-capped mountains, which is quite magical.
Ming Ruo and the others were about to leave when many guests came to the teahouse, all students from the academy opposite. After listening carefully, it turned out that something big happened in the academy today, and even the handymen in the kitchen were sent to search the mountain.
Now, no one is cooking in the academy canteen, so everyone can only come out to solve the problem of eating.
"What happened in the academy? We all have tutored classes in the afternoon, and we don't even know what happened..."
"It is said that... someone committed the Long Yang incident, and the accused went to the superintendent... The academy is looking for someone..."
"I heard that the library lost the books locked in the library...so I searched everywhere..."
"The library is locked, and you are not allowed to borrow it. You don't know what books are inside, so how can you steal them?"
"They should be the ones who caught Long Yang... Master left a topic for us to write about in the afternoon. Qi Yu and Wen Xiang are sneaky on weekdays. They were called by the mountain chief before Shenshi time and they haven't come back yet...
"
"What I heard is that a boy lost the books in the library and was afraid of being punished, so he lied about seeing someone misbehaving..."
Mingruo listened to the discussions in the private rooms on the left and right, and suddenly felt guilty: "Let's go."
Si Haochen touched Mingruo's head: "Let's go, my husband will take you to buy some sweets."
"Why do you want to buy candy?" Mingruo quickly put the "Stolen" book into his "sleeve pocket".
"If you have made great contributions, you should be rewarded." Si Haochen said with a smile.
"I'm hungry after eating sweets. It's really useful when I'm on the road." Mingruo pulled Si Haochen's sleeves and walked out. When he opened the door, he remembered that he was grabbing 'Long Yang's Good' on the other side.
He quickly let go of his hand, straightened his clothes in a serious manner, and walked out with a high head. Si Haochen chuckled lightly and followed behind his wife.
Ming Ruozhen went to the snack shop and bought a lot of candies - peanut candies, sesame candies, tangerine peel candies, Wosi candies... Every variety available in the store weighed two kilograms of each. Plus all kinds of snacks, I just saved up.
A bamboo basket.
"Sir, where do you live? Do you want a waiter to take you to your house?" The shopkeeper was so happy that he could not see his eyes. Their Fuxingzhai snacks were delicious, but also very expensive. Today, they definitely met a big customer.
"Send to Tongfu Inn, Room 1, Tianzi." Si Haochen said.
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away." The shopkeeper just thought they were from out of town, taking them back as souvenirs for relatives and friends. No wonder they were given many small packages of each item.
Mingruo and Si Haochen walked to the inn while shopping. When they returned, Shi Shiwu had received a basket of snacks and candies, two baskets of fruits and vegetables, two loads of rice and noodles, and several boxes of clothes and bedding...
"Master, everything has been moved upstairs." Fifteen knew that Lao Tie was the guardian beast of the Qiankun Box, and that the Qiankun Box could hold anything, so he was not worried at all about the master and his wife buying a lot of food and clothing, anyway.
Just stuff it all in the box.
When Mingruo returned to the room, he saw that the things he had bought took up so much space that it was difficult to get in.
Si Haochen turned around and closed the door, and Mingruo put these things directly into the space. These things were prepared for their return trip. When they went to Qingchuan to release the boat, they had to buy some more shelf-stable fruits and vegetables to consume.
Beigong Langyue returned to Beigong's house and thought a lot silently. When he had no one available, he still had to use his grandfather's people. After all, he promised the fairy girl that he must live well and work hard, and he can't break his promise.
.
At my current age, it is impossible for me to learn martial arts. But I can use the means I am good at to protect myself, for example, designing some small formations that are easy to operate. I don’t want to trap the enemy to death, as long as I can escape smoothly.
According to this idea, Beigong Langyue designed a fast and effective formation. One day, he will no longer be the one who can only be protected, but he can also protect the people he wants to protect, and can become a sharp knife to "charge into the battle".
Xia Sheng didn't know what happened in the afternoon. He didn't catch the beggar. When he came back to look for the young master, he saw that there were several more guards around the young master. Moreover, the young master's whole person became different after he came back. On weekdays,
The gentleness and indifference were gradually replaced by an indescribable temperament, which made him feel a little strange. But it seemed that this was how a young master should be.
Xia Sheng shook his head, not daring to disturb the master's drawing of the formation. He put the ginseng tea in his hand on the table and silently left. Looking at the back of the master busy at the desk, he suddenly felt very at ease.
