"There's something..."
Wu Nuxia lowered her head and picked up the copper plate from his hand. She put it in front of her eyes and looked at it. She didn't hold the money behind her back. Her eyes flickered a few times and she seemed to be saying to herself: "In fact, although I have traveled around the world in this life, my hands are still there." There weren't many lives lost, so it was really not worthwhile to bear so many debts. But it was too easy for them to let the whole family go like this. It happened that during the years of investigation, they had some of their earlier records on hand. There is a lot of evidence, and I heard that the censor surnamed Yu is honest and fair, and he used to be the magistrate of our Yizhou, which will just add some political achievements to him."
"The heroine is just kind-hearted."
"..."
Wu Nuxia glanced at him silently, held the copper plate in her hand, and then put it into her arms. She didn't mean to argue with him, but just said: "I will make arrangements later and leave tomorrow. Whatever happens after that I will never go back to Changjing again. If you are lucky, as I said before, when you return to Yizhou in more than ten years, a big red rooster will come to see you."
"The heroine must be careful." Song You said, "This is a reminder from an old friend."
"Don't worry. Over the years since I came to Changjing, my martial arts has not ebbed, but I haven't made much progress. What I have learned the most is to be careful." Wu Nuxia grinned, "With my ability, not to mention how many people in the world have There are so many opponents, at least looking at the temples and rivers and lakes, the only one who can keep me here is probably Shu Yifan from Guangzhou. Even the invincible Chen Ziyi, without wearing a helmet and armor, may not be able to defeat us by chance in the rivers and lakes. If a commoner wears a helmet, he may not be able to catch up with me."
"I am confident in the female hero's ability."
Song You still remembered the Shu Yifan he met for the first time that year. In fact, Shu Yifan at the Liujiang Conference was already the de facto best swordsman in the world, but in the words of this Wu heroine, it was just not something he could do.
"I will do it cleanly. From now on, there will be no Wu Suowei in the world, but there will be no Ruan Zhen. As for what he will be called, I haven't decided yet. I will tell you in more than ten years."
"It's a deal."
"gone."
Wu Nuxia stood up and walked out. She just raised her hand over her shoulder and cupped his hand:
"Thank you."
He was out the door in a few steps.
Sanhua Empress squatted on the table and stared at her blankly.
That night Wu Nuxia came back to have a meal with them. They ate at Yunchunlou, on a bejeweled table, and spent a lot of money. Then I packed my bags and didn't bring much. As for other things that could be used at home, I gave them to the neighbors across the door or next to me, such as brooms, pots, dishes, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., which were all for the common people. Very valuable. If they could be sold for money, she exchanged them for gold and silver. She carried the quilts and mattresses to the street corner and threw them to the beggars at night. Song You and Empress Sanhua followed her throughout the whole process. , see it in your eyes.
She heard that there was half a month's rent left, so she went to the store to pay back the rent two days ago.
This heroine has a heroic side and a thrifty side.
Early the next morning, the west gate.
It was the place where Wu Nuxia was waiting for him, but now it was Song You who sent her away.
I saw the heroine carrying her luggage and a long knife hanging beside the saddle. Next to her was the short and thin yellow-maned southwest horse that had followed her for many years. She was holding it in her hand and looked back at Song You.
"To be honest, I used to imagine that I would finally find out the truth and leave Changjing. I never thought that someone would come to see me off. I thought at the time, I came alone and left quietly. No one in Changjing knew I've been here. Even people who know that I've been here don't know why I came, let alone why I left. This feeling is quite powerful." Wu Nuxia grinned, stopped to look at him, "But it's quite comfortable this way."
Song You only heard loneliness.
"Just send it here. Don't send it far away. If nothing else happens, by the time you leave Changjing in the spring of next year, I will already be on my way back to Yizhou." Wu Nuxia lowered her eyes as she spoke. He looked at the calico cat following the Taoist's feet, thought for a moment, then put down the reins, and solemnly said, "Thank you to Empress Sanhua for her teachings during this period. When I have some free time, I will also make sure to learn how to read."
"You're welcome~"
"Maybe by the next time we meet, I will already be able to write poetry."
"!! Then you are great!"
The calico cat's expression suddenly became serious.
"Hahaha..." Wu Nuxia raised her head and laughed a few times. Anyway, Sanhua Empress didn't know what she was laughing at. Then she withdrew her gaze and looked at the Taoist again, "The prosperity of Yidu is not something to be boasted about. I guess it's far away." No matter how far away I am, I can hear your stories. As soon as I hear it, I know it’s you. It’s better to spread more amazing news. I feel great when I hear it. Maybe I can even brag to others about the person in the story. The god or something used to live next door to me, and I even knew him."
"Fight for it."
"gone."
Wu Xia said as she got on the horse, raised the reins, and the horse walked forward. She turned back to look at the Taoist: "When you are walking around the world, don't forget that there is an old friend like me in the world."
"Take care of yourself."
"Take care of yourself too."
The gate of the ancient city of Changjing is facing the snowy sky, and the ground is covered with snow outside the city. The woman from the rivers and lakes riding a horse with a long sword gradually goes away. Behind her, the Taoist man and the cat stand watching, wondering whether they can still live in this life. goodbye.
There was also a bit of Jianghu flavor in the trance.
Thinking about the experience of getting married to her, it was really a coincidence. Afterwards, they became friends and there was almost no interest involved. Even if Wu Nuxia helped them rent a house when they first arrived in Changjing, and even later provided information and accepted a reward to eliminate them together. Yao's sharing of money is just like how Song You helped her solve her doubts yesterday. It is almost negligible and is just a small favor among friends. However, when you think about it, such a calm relationship is really not burdensome at all. It is as clear as water, comfortable and leisurely.
So separated, naturally there is not much sentimentality.
I just feel like time flies by so fast.
Six years passed in a flash.
"Go back." Song You lowered his head and said to the calico cat at his feet, "It's windy and snowy outside."
"OK."
"Miss Sanhua, do you have anything you want to ask?"
"How to write poetry?"
"This is difficult." Song You said to her, "To write a good poem, you don't just need to know how the poem is written. You must quote scriptures and be good at metaphors, so you must be knowledgeable about the past and the present, be well-informed, and have a profound knowledge. Only knowledge can lead to good poetry, and Empress Sanhua still has a lot to learn."
"..."
The calico cat turned to stare at him as he entered the city, wanting to see if he had fooled him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed the case.
…
Back home, Empress Sanhua still studied hard.
According to her opinion, her student should not be able to learn recently. Even if she returns to Yidu, she may not be able to find a good teacher in a short time, but she may find a better teacher later. She must seize this period of time when she has not learned anything. When learning methods, stay some distance ahead of her so that she won't be easily caught up by the students.
Song You had nothing to do, so he took out the "Cai Medical Classic" and read it.
It was really too cold in Changjing during this period, the weather was not good, and it was snowing heavily. Apart from buying groceries every day, Song You didn't want to go out, so he had to stay at home with the door closed, lighting the stove, making tea and reading.
Song You didn't know much about medical prescriptions and pharmacology, but there weren't many prescriptions written in this half of the medical classics. Even if they were written, they were mostly used for examples, and more about the essential principles of medicine and disease - Doctor Cai almost wrote himself All his life-long insights have been condensed into this book, which is extremely detailed and thought-provoking. If it is spread out and read to other doctors, maybe it can really achieve the effect he said.
When other doctors study it, they should read it in conjunction with several other books written by Dr. Tsai.
The fox demon from Hexian Tower came again.
Since the death of Miss Wan Jiang, the fox demon's tail seems to have completely abandoned its original character, taking off its shackles and becoming naughty, playful, active and neurotic, with an obvious fox character.
The fox demon's body has changed even less, but it is obviously much more casual, and somewhat resembles an ordinary monster.
Perhaps she has become more profound in the past ten years and has been more influenced by human cultural etiquette, or perhaps she has changed back with the help of her tail, so she retains the other side and finds it interesting.
There is another acquaintance looking for me——
Cui Nanxi who once traveled to Yunding Mountain with him.
Song You also chatted with him all morning.
In a few days, it will be the second New Year that Song You and Sanhua Empress spent in Changjing.
It was already the eighth year of Mingde.
I don’t know how many years Mingde has left.
After the beginning of spring, the sun shines brightly in Changjing for almost half a month. Changjing does not always have snow in winter. Now the temperature has risen rapidly, and it is actually a bit warm.
Song You took advantage of the sunshine and took a small bench to sit on the street outside the door. While basking in the sun, Chang Jing called for a day and took out his needle and thread to sew the ball of Empress Sanhua's cloth again.
The little girl also brought a smaller bench and sat next to him with her legs straightened. She held a book in her two little hands and placed it on her legs. However, she was obviously not in the mood to read while basking in the sun. He leaned his small body against the door panel at the back and half-squinted his eyes, seeming to enjoy the sunshine more than the Taoist.
Cats love to bask in the sun the most.
Sanhua Empress was almost asleep.
But she still opened her eyes a little from time to time, glanced at the Taoist priest next to her and the cloth ball he was reinforcing and mending, and then glanced at the book in her hand. Although she couldn't read the words in the book clearly, she could still count it as having read it. Book.
"The weather is getting warmer, Miss Sanhua." Song You said while sewing, "We will leave Beijing in a few days."
"oh……"
"In two days of the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, Lady Sanhua can carry your little horse lantern. We will go for a walk and then leave." Song You continued, "It's time to ask Yanzi to bring the horse back."
"Will we come back again?"
"I will come back at least once."
"OK……"
Sanhua Empress replied feebly, her head drooped heavily, and she swayed twice before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
The book was still on his lap, holding one side in each hand.
