It was still dark when Pei Yanzhou left the city. His armor was as silver as the moon, and his eyes were full of coldness and solemnity.
But only an hour after him, a gorgeous carriage left the city, riding on the newly rising excitement in the city, and drove in another direction.
The herbs in the car are light, and there is occasionally a hint of wine aroma.
Passing by it was also a large carriage, coming from the opposite direction, about to enter the city, with the word "PEI" printed on it.
The breeze blew the corner of the car curtain, and Shen Yuhe, who had closed his eyes for a nap, opened his eyes and happened to see the Pei family carriage passing by.
But in his opinion, there is only one Pei Yanzhou in the Pei family that can be remembered in people's hearts.
"Call me in half an hour."
"Yes, sir."
The driver responded and increased his speed.
The journey from here to that small village would probably take four or five days if we took a carriage. Only riding on horseback could shorten the time.
His boss didn't even bother to wait for the young master of the Zhou family, let alone take his time in the carriage and let the perverse little junior sister and Miss Jin Yin stay together for so long.
After the carriage drove far away, several figures flashed across the forest.
Like a ghost, he ran to several places at the same time and disappeared in an instant.
It looked like everything was calm again.
...
Ever since she saw the woman's son that day, Song Jinyin had brought the bottle with the medicinal powder with her, but the mother and son never passed by the entrance of the small courtyard again.
Only once in the middle of the night did a cock crow, accompanied by bursts of flapping sounds in the chicken pen.
Then there was the sound of Li Wanqing smashing the cup.
Song Jinyin slept deeply.
There was such a big movement, but she just scratched the mattress and turned over, as if there was no reaction.
But the scene in the dream suddenly changed.
When the cup fell, blood burst out. The tall man on the horse was hit by a long arrow, and his dark robes oozed dark red, but the man didn't know the pain. He leaned over and rode the horse, holding the sword tightly, and headed straight towards the mountain. The leader ran.
Song Jinyin frowned slightly, especially after seeing the jade pendant on the man's waist, her lips pursed unconsciously, as if she felt a little uncomfortable.
The moment the man raised his hand and waved his sword, Song Jinyin suddenly woke up.
My heart was beating very fast, and there was a buzzing sound in my ears, tinnitus, and fright.
But how could a person like Pei Yanzhou do such an impulsive and reckless thing.
She paused for a moment, not wanting to think about it, so she simply packed up her bags under the moonlight.
Two more days had passed, and Li Wanqing had not received any news from Kyoto, which meant that the two of them had no way to leave the city.
Either someone has already targeted him, or something else is holding him back.
Song Jinyin couldn't wait any longer.
If it was the former, it would most likely be Pei Yanzhou's person, and she didn't want to gamble.
This tidying up took place until dawn.
During breakfast, Song Jinyin expressed her plan to leave first. Although Li Wanqing disagreed, she was not nosy.
Especially when she realized that the little girl in front of her would not do any business with her, nor would she drag Shen Yuhe into trouble.
"Are you sure you won't wait two more days? Although Shen Yuhe and I are not on good terms, if he had promised to give you medicine, he would not have broken his promise to you. From now on, in the future, he will probably be watched by the prince. On."
"So I can't stay any longer."
Song Jinyin sipped the hot porridge, her long eyelashes swaying slightly, "Don't escape by yourself, and you will have to drag innocent people along to suffer."
"What's so innocent about him?"
Li Wanqing moved her eyebrows slightly and muttered.
"I don't really want you to leave at this time, but if you insist on leaving, it's best to go south. Your body can't withstand the cold. Find a warm place to settle as early as possible to avoid being unable to bear it later. And the medicine you use to protect yourself, If I'm not wrong, you will have to stop eating in another month and wait until you give birth before you can continue eating..."
Song Jinyin listened carefully. When she stood up to put the bowl away, she looked at the chicken coop in the corner of the yard.
"Miss Wanqing has helped me a lot these days. I have nothing to repay her. Why don't I stew a chicken for you before I leave? Then I won't have to worry about food later."
"This is one of the reasons why I don't really want you to leave at this time."
Li Wanqing sighed.
If she hadn't had to stay here and wait for fear of being deserted, she might have left with this girl. After all, Song Jinyin's craftsmanship was better than following her entourage and eating pancakes and tasteless meat every day.
"Well, if you go south, maybe we will meet again in the future. It's not necessarily that I will look for you then..."
Just as he was talking, Mu Shanlan shook his head.
The two of them looked around and found that it was the woman's young son Gouzhu whom they had seen two days ago.
The visitor patted the wooden door, but his strength was so great that it moved the fence on the side.
"Miss Song, Miss Song!"
Song Jinyin happened to think of the medicinal powder in her waist, saw Li Wanqing's stern look, and winked at her.
The next moment, seeing no one to stop him, the visitor came directly to Song Jinyin, showing his sparse teeth again.
"I heard that Miss Song was alone and her life was not going well before. Now that she has settled in our village, our two families are close to each other, so we can move around more on weekdays!"
Gouzhu's smiling eyes narrowed into a thin line.
It was the first time that he saw such a fair and beautiful girl. His eyes were full of salivation, and his hands on both sides were secretly rubbing his sleeves.
Such a girl is the wife he wants to marry, but his mother is still afraid that this girl will depend on their family and let them raise someone else's son.
But if you ask Gouzhu to say it, you can live with someone who is as good-looking as a fairy!
At that time, even if you give birth to someone else's seed, you can still make a few bucks by selling it! It saves him the thought of turning in and looking at people in the middle of the night!
"Girl, don't worry. I, Gouzhu, don't say anything else. My family is also a high-profile figure in the village, and I have always been heroic. I don't want to see the girl's family being wronged. If you need help from anyone in the future, just come to me! I Ah, I love helping such a delicate and weak girl..."
Gouzhu said while extending his hand.
If there hadn't been Dr. Li, a troubled person next to him, he would have wanted to drag the person away, but how could he have endured it for so long.
Song Jinyin turned sideways to avoid his movement, holding the medicine bottle in her hand, and found a position with the wind, her lips raised with a cold look.
"You can't help me."
"Why can't I help? Don't worry, girl, just follow me. Not many people in our village dare to bully..."
Seeing that he had failed, the man subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch someone, but as soon as he raised his hand, he noticed the sound of breaking through the air in his ears.
Something scratched against his ear, causing him to freeze up in fright, his triangular eyes widened, his mouth trembling, full of fear.
Song Jinyin was startled. She ignored the powder scattered by her hand and subconsciously turned around following the movement.
Li Wanqing, who was watching the show from the side, looked even more alert.
But when she saw the person clearly, Li Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly. Although the corners of her mouth curled up in disgust, calculation quickly flashed in her eyes, weighing the pros and cons like a businessman, and just wanted to find the best benefit from the person.
"It's just right. If you come a step later, the only one you can see is me."
"I won't let myself go on this trip in vain, but you just took over my job and just watched the show here leisurely like this?"
The visitor frowned, glanced at Li Wanqing at the side, and then looked at the entourage beside him.
"First tie this man to the back, block his mouth and ears, and then let him wake up."
"Yes, sir."
The frightened Gouzhu was dragged down without even resisting, and then there was the sound of splashing water.
Song Jinyin no longer paid attention to the movement behind her. When she heard the familiar voice of the visitor, the coldness on her lips disappeared and her watery eyes slightly curved.
Xu Shi had experienced an escape, and seeing Shen Yuhe dismounting from his horse in this strange village gave her an inexplicable joy of meeting an old friend.
"Doctor Shen!"
"After all, I saved your life, but you can't even call me brother?"
The commotion in the yard soon spread throughout the village, attracting many onlookers to gather together.
Under the crane cloak was the gentle and jade-like young master, who stood beside Song Jinyin and looked down at her patiently.
"Could this be that girl's husband?"
"I'm a good boy. With such a handsome husband, no wonder you don't like Gouzhu!"
"No! I heard that Gouzhu's mother is afraid that the little girl will come to their house and she will despise people and be abandoned all day long. Tsk tsk..."
There was a faint sound. Although it was not clear, it still made Song Jinyin feel embarrassed.
She pursed her lips, remembering her interactions with Zhou Yanan and the others, and then felt relieved and called Brother Shen with gratitude and a magnanimous tone.
But when she turned around, Li Wanqing looked at Shen Yuhe who had a gentle smile, with a teasing look on his face.
Those people were far apart and their voices were low.
But just because Song Jinyin didn't hear it clearly, it doesn't mean that they didn't hear it truly.
...
Snow has already fallen on Yuxi Mountain after winter.
When Xuanwei found Pei Yanzhou's trace, he stood under the dense forest. Although he was injured, his eyes were dark and sharp, and his aura was dotted with cold stars. His posture was still as tall as a cold pine, and he had no intention of resting.
"But there is news about her?"
When he saw Xuan Wei, Pei Yanzhou's eyes became darker and darker, his clear and cold brows were gone, and there was a hint of expectation.
