The moon was shining brightly, and Boyi's back was right in front of her.
The Imperial Guards lined up out of the imperial mausoleum and headed towards him. Behind Boyi, there were many masked men in black leaping out of the forest, attacking from both sides.
She shouted: "Bo Yi, go quickly!"
Unsteady on her feet, she woke up from her dream and slumped on the bamboo chair, unable to calm down for a long time.
As if he was also disturbed by this nightmare, the bell hanging at the door of the courtyard made a thin and lazy sound.
It took a long time for her to come back to her senses as to why she was here.
She walked through the formation of the canyon, and finally found a path when the morning light filled the field.
At the foot of the mountain is a gentle river. After crossing the wooden bridge, we entered the town and found a family to buy a clean old piece of coarse cloth. However, they discovered that they had a crossbow injury and had to leave in a hurry.
But on the only way to enter Longyuan, there were people who interrogated those entering the city and slapped them on the shoulders, but the government turned a blind eye to this.
Time was running out, so she only had time to find some wild herbs on the road and apply them on the wound to stop the bleeding.
But if you want to sneak into Longyuan City, this wound must not be discovered. So you can only reluctantly find some clean moss to press the wound, then smear stinky mud on it, pretend to be a beggar, sneak past the checkpoint, and follow
Two little beggars entered the city through a dog hole.
Looking at the clean furnishings around her, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her fever had subsided and her whole body felt refreshed. Her clothes had also been changed into new ones.
I think Mo Niang wiped her body when she fell asleep.
Although I'm still a little dizzy, it's nothing to worry about.
It had been three days. Thinking of Boyi's situation in her dream, she couldn't waste any more time.
She took out the silver ingot from her arms and left it on the table. She quietly left the house and closed the courtyard door. The bell rang again.
She looked up and saw a bell adorning a vivid fish sculpture. This was the movement of this thing.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but felt confused.
It was almost dawn, and I was feeling empty, so I decided to find a place to eat some hot food before making any plans.
Although Longyuan may not be big, it can be considered a place with a lot of traffic. Not to mention the occasional Hongzhou druggists passing by, the circulating antique business also makes this place always full of vitality.
Yu Qiansi took out two copper coins, bought a piece of Chinese pancake, ordered a bowl of hot soup, and sat down. He listened carefully to the stall owner's greetings, and occasionally talked about interesting things recently.
Yu Qiansi finished eating the Hu Pancake slowly, looked around, and asked curiously: "Old man, there are fish sculptures and bells hanging on the eaves of many houses in Longyuan City. Why is this?"
"Is this your first time back to Longyuan?" The stall owner wiped the sweat from the steam, leaned over and filled a handful of firewood, and asked with a smile: "Our Longyuan City is built around the forest. There are many places in the city.
Most of them are antiques, medicinal materials, etc. Therefore, the Longyuan area believes in fish spirits, so they invited good carpenters to carve their own surnames on them and hang them on the eaves to pray for peace."
Yu Qiansi can get through with just a few clicks.
No wonder these fish are twisting their bodies as if swimming in the water.
Fish swim freely in the water, and there is no fire in the water.
I think it is a kind of sustenance for the local people.
"But I've seen that there are also houses without fish in the eaves. Are they not afraid of fire?"
The stall owner's smile froze, and Yu Qiansi's curious look could be seen, so he whispered: "Guest, please don't mention this casually. Those portals without fish spirits are all dead in the family..."
"Hey! Old Garlic, why are you lying to others! Aren't they just those who have grudges and grudges? What's there to say?" The stall is not big, the tables are next to each other, and the diners on the side have long heard the two of them talking.
While talking, he leaned over and leaned over.
"There was a legend many years ago in Longyuan. There was a woodcutter whose son was killed. So the woodcutter took off the fish bell and put it in his son's coffin, asking the fish spirit to avenge his son. Unexpectedly, the murderer
The murderer died suddenly not long after, and the woodcutter’s fish spirit was found next to his body.”
The atmosphere of the diners telling stories was good. Yu Qiansi nodded lightly, and many questions came to his mind. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask why the woodcutter's son was killed and what the murderer's cause of death was. Has anyone ever opened a restaurant to check if it was the same fish?
spirit......
But suddenly he was jolted by the cold wind and came back to his senses.
Now was not the time to take these lies seriously. She pretended to be shocked. She lowered her head and took a sip of hot soup to suppress her shock. She sighed softly: "It turns out that there is such a strange news. This time I followed my father...
The shopkeeper came here to look for bones and understand, it really gained a lot of knowledge."
"Oh, it turns out the girl is here for business. What a coincidence!" Sure enough, the diner's eyes lit up when he heard her intention.
Although Yu Qiansi's clothes were ordinary, her temperament was good. In this industry, it is important to hide one's wealth without showing off one's wealth. He had already regarded her as a rich lady who came to buy things. He laughed repeatedly and said: "We in Longyuan, there are not many people who are the best."
Antiques from the previous dynasty! Those are all good things left over from the battlefield back then! The preservation is absolutely unmatched on the market! Miss... ah, miss, why don’t we take a step to talk?"
When the stall owner known as "Old Garlic" saw him approaching, he waved his hand as if to shoo away flies: "Don't scare my customers. Girl, this ancient business is in deep water, so you still have to be careful."
"Thank you, old man," Yu Qiansi changed his title and looked embarrassed: "It's just my father...ah, no, my shopkeeper was in low spirits after entering the city yesterday, and it was difficult to hold on until the curfew ended, so I decided to
Go to the medical center and ask the doctor for treatment. Uncle, do you know which medical center is the best in Longyuan City? My shopkeeper is not short of money!"
When the diner heard this, he pointed to the guide and said: "Long has no medical clinic, only medicine hall. Three of them are the most powerful. Yujingtang, Yuyintang, and Wanyaotang all have doctors.
You can follow this road to find it. After passing by Guansha, go south and you will see Longyuan City, where the three medicine halls are."
Yu Qiansi immediately showed gratitude: "Thank you so much, old man and this big brother."
It wasn't until she was far away from the Hu Cake stall that Yu Qiansi stopped smiling gratefully and put on a smile instead.
From time to time, she raised her head to look at the different fish spirits and bells on the eaves around her, and suddenly stopped.
After checking for a long time with her eyebrows furrowed, she looked around.
The fish spirit on the high corner door had lost its tail and was mottled and brown, but it still caught her attention.
The dark part exposed by the dirt filling the gully has a simple style, but it is absolutely impossible to misidentify it.
Du Ruo.
Such a high wall must be the back door of the official mansion.
Du Ruozhai's letter talisman hangs on it, but it has not been replaced for a long time.
Yu Qiansi thought of the crossbows that ambushed him and randomly interrogated people traveling in Longyuan territory, and came up with a new plan.
Since it is possible to arouse the enemy, it is better to use this method of killing three birds with one stone.
Yu Qiansi found an elegant room in a restaurant, ordered delicious food and drinks generously, and waited on others. When the sun went down, she changed into black clothes, jumped on the roof, and headed towards the official house.
