Outside the Chanjing Pavilion, there is a stone wall more than three feet high. It is brown and painted with strange patterns. There are many holes drilled in the stone wall, from which a trickle of water flows, falling into the crystal pool below. A pool of water is The waves sparkle under the sunlight and refract on the stone walls, making it look very leisurely. Zuo Qing sat alone on the stone table next to the stone wall, drinking tea made from dried plum blossoms left over from his early years. His expression was silent, as if he had been silent for thousands of years.
Yansheng walked over with a worried expression. Zuo Qing made him a cup of tea and motioned for him to sit down.
"After investigation, the background of Jinyun City is simple and there are no clues at all. I think you are mistaken, sir?"
Zuo Qing moved the tea leaves leisurely and said, "You have become more and more plump recently. Have you gone to Su Yan's place to eat and drink many times?"
Yansheng wanted to cry but had no tears, "The adults are aware, while the villains are cautious about their careers. They are diligent and willing to work. The heaven and the earth can be used as a guide, and the sun and the moon can be reflected. I have been there once at most!"
"Then why is your brain getting slower and slower? Jinyun City has a simple background?" Zuo Qing put down the tea, "Do you know that she is the killer of Linguo? Do you know that her men killed General Linguo? Is it? I see that you are not doing your job all day long, and you are still careless when I ask you to investigate something!"
Yansheng was scolded by Yitong and lowered his head without saying a word. After Zuo Qing scolded him, he warned him: "You have to get to the bottom of everything. I don't need to teach you the rest, right?"
Yansheng said: "I will continue to keep an eye on you, sir, don't worry."
Zuo Qing has always been extremely wary of Jinyun City. Mo Fei has placed so many informants in the academy, not all of whom are supervising him. Now there is another Jinyun City, how can he let it go!
Yansheng presented the letter: "Just now news came from Yun Lai Pavilion."
A smile appeared on Zuo Qing's lips, "It seems that Xu Niang's plan was successful."
"The side of Shuyoutang has already gone to the back mountain."
Zuo Qing nodded in agreement and reminded him, "Don't show your flaws."
"Don't worry, sir!"
There was a light rain in the back mountain last night, making the mountains white and making it difficult to find the quiet path.
It can be regarded as the first time in the history of the academy that the entire school went out. Therefore, this outing caused a sensation in Ruoshui, and everyone asked about Mr. Su's origins, but this was all a matter for later.
Nine people from Shuyoutang, eight students in one division, lined up on foot in the deep mountains, carrying bamboo baskets on their backs and carrying special knives.
Su Yan was wearing a crescent-colored skirt that reached her ankles and wore a bamboo hat at the front. As soon as she entered the forest, she heard someone scream and the procession came to an abrupt halt. Ran Ying tripped over a fallen branch and was lying on the grass with a big cut on her hand. She was so frightened that she burst into tears when she saw that she was injured.
Everyone was surprised. This man could only bleed but not shed tears. Why was he crying now?
Sun Ziliang was the one who disliked women crying the most. He became flustered when he heard this, "Don't cry! I won't be able to walk if you cry!"
Ran Ying didn't care about him. He only focused on crying and screaming. His eyes were red from crying and he looked particularly pitiful. Sun Tzu Liang's eyes were full of heartache, and he hurriedly volunteered, "I'll carry you!"
Ran Ying turned her face and said shyly: "Don't you know whether men and women can kiss or not?!"
Sun Tzu Liang was so anxious that he jumped around, which made everyone laugh. Jin Guan laughed at him, "You grandson, you stood with us so early in the morning and scolded Ran Ying for turning his elbows away. Now you have even turned away your own head and feet. You are really worthless!"
Everyone laughed, but no one helped. Su Yan naturally couldn't stand it anymore and immediately went to check on Ran Ying's injuries. Fortunately, it was only the back of his hand that was cut by a tree vine. Immediately, I found some herbs to stop the bleeding and wrapped it tightly with the gauze I had with me.
A group of people continued to move towards the finish line, but no one paid attention to Ran Ying. She was left behind at the end, walking alone.
Su Yan walked to her side and asked, "Does your hand still hurt?"
Ran Ying glared at her and said nothing.
Su Yan continued: "Let me tell you a story."
…
Su Yan didn't mind her attitude and continued to talk to himself, "When I was a child, my father often took me hunting in the mountains. At that time, I knew how to use a bow and arrow, and I could hunt back a big sika deer every time. At that time, he and I My playmates asked me, why do you, as a woman, learn these things from men? I said that a daughter’s family should be both civilized and military, and should be on par with the men. She might even be able to fight on the battlefield in the future, and when she returns home victorious, she should also join the officialdom. Do things like being a tomboy!"
Ran Ying couldn't help but frown, "A woman is a woman and cannot be compared with a man!"
"You see you are deeply persecuted by those ignorant thoughts, and your brain is no longer functioning properly!"
"This has been the case since ancient times, so what can we change?"
"We can't change the world, but we can change ourselves!"
Ran Ying stopped and asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"We are destined to have an identity and status when we are born. We struggle to survive in this dark and skyless place. We cannot change all the things we are born with, but we can change our thoughts and thoughts, and then look at the world again. , you will find that it is completely different.”
"What's different?"
"Do as I say and you will understand."
Ran Ying looked at Su Yan, somewhat understanding, yet somewhat confused. But when she thought of the instructions given to her by Chang Sun Xi before leaving, she quickly stabilized her stance.
At this time, the people in front began to urge, Su Yan put his arms around Ran Ying's shoulders and walked forward. Ran Ying struggled to break away but couldn't, so he had to be restrained by her.
As Su Yan walked, he introduced her to the famous trees and flowers along the way. When he saw the hidden herbs, he told her what medicine they were and what their curative effects were. When he saw the pheasants flying by in the distance, he told her that they also called pheasants. Wild phoenix, also called mountain phoenix, has an extremely long tail and the colors on its tail are extremely eye-catching.
Along the way, they told stories and jokes, and Ran Ying was amused a few times, but only a few times.
The mist gradually dissipated, the mountains became brighter, the temperature rose, and it was already noon.
Everyone has gone deep into the mountain, and the place is deeply sunk. It seems that it has been hit by a huge impact, like a huge basin.
Strange vegetation is everywhere, making it almost impossible to stay. There are many depressions at the bottom of the basin. Over the years, water has accumulated and formed a pool. However, it is covered by dense plants and is difficult to find. If you are not careful, it is very easy to fall into the trap and your life is at stake! Su Yan picked out the only three male students in the school, and the four of them worked together to clean up the plants under their feet. Only then did they realize that there were more than ordinary pools of water at the bottom of the big basin. They were so dense that it was scary to see them!
The distance between the water pools was not far. In this short distance, Su Yan was surprised to find several herbs growing there. He couldn't wait to go over and take a look, "It's actually a living god!"
After hearing this, everyone was confused. Changsun Yue couldn't help but curious and went over to find out what was going on. He suddenly realized, "Isn't this Fang Kui!"
Su Yan carefully picked it and said, "In our place, it is called the Living Goddess because it is rare and has strong medicinal properties. It is recorded in the Shennong's Materia Medica: Sunflower is used to treat hernia, intestinal diarrhea, cough, malaria, epilepsy, and long-term symptoms." Taking it has the effect of strengthening bone marrow, replenishing qi and lightening the body! It grows in these mountains and valleys, and it is a treasure in remote areas!"
Sun Ziliang touched his forehead and asked pitifully: "Sir, you'd better find me some medicine to remove the swelling first!"
Jin Guan took his hand away and revealed the big red and swollen bump on his forehead. It turned out that he was bitten by poisonous insects in the mountains. Su Yan took out the pocket bag that he had prepared and threw it to him.
Sun Ziliang smelled it, and his eyebrows almost knitted together, "What is it? It smells bitter!"
"Lan Shi, it's for detoxification. The one on your forehead was bitten by a poisonous insect. If you don't want to die, hurry up..." Before he could finish his words, Sun Ziliang quickly poured the medicine into his mouth and swallowed it without even drinking water. .
Su Yan couldn't bear to look at it, "I meant to mix it with water, not to let you eat it dry!"
Sun Ziliang was so regretful that he almost cried. He hurriedly took out the kettle, drank it all, and burped hard into the sky.
Su Yan looked elsewhere. Except for Ran Ying, everyone else followed her and observed curiously. She explained while searching: "There are many valleys here, with plenty of sunshine and rain. It is a very good place for medicinal herbs to survive. Types such as lovage, costus, asarum, and selaginella are all common in the valley, but these medicinal herbs are The growth habits and conditions are different, so even though they all grow in valleys, there are subtle differences in their distribution areas. Some are in the sun, some are in the shade, some grow in shallow places, some go deep into pools, and the harvesting times are also different. , this is all a knowledge. If in the future you are unfortunate enough to be lost in the deep mountains and wild forests, and even more unfortunate to encounter pain, and the most unfortunate thing is that you are the only one, if you know even a little bit of medical skills at that time, you can save your life. life, so it is still necessary to learn the basic knowledge of this medical skill!"
Everyone listened with great interest and asked her various medical knowledge.
Just as he was talking, in a very inconspicuous patch of grass, a flash of light attracted everyone's attention. Changsun Yue exclaimed: "Look! That's what's shining there, it must be Ganoderma lucidum!"
"My aunt, there is no Ganoderma lucidum growing in the weeds!" Sun Ziliang laughed at her while covering his forehead.
Changsun Yue snorted unconvinced, "Don't you know that there are all kinds of wonders in the world? Who can conclude that Ganoderma lucidum cannot grow in deep pools?" After that, he strode over and picked up the knife to push away the grass.
The flash of light became more and more dazzling, revealing his true appearance bit by bit.
"Ah - it's a dead man!"
The eldest grandson was so frightened that his face turned pale, he threw the knife and ran away quickly.
The team suddenly became a mess, and everyone ran away in fear. In the end, they all hid on the slope and did not dare to come down.
Su Yan looked at the body covered by the hay from a distance. He was not that scared, but just confused.
who is he? Why did he die in the mountains?
At this time, someone said: "This is not the group of people from the Shenxian Pavilion who are teasing crickets!"
