Because of this autumn rain, and also because it is late autumn.
Yunjibieye was shrouded in a sheet of smoke sinking from Shuiyun Mountain.
Zhongli Ruoshui returned here from Meiyuan. She gave up leaving Kyoto to go to Guangling City because her grandma said that he had to go back to Kyoto first because of the trouble in Shuangjiao Mountain.
Because Sun Jinghong, the chief news officer of the Battle of Kyoto, would definitely tell Li Chenan that this is the top priority!
After much thought, since he would return to Kyoto, I would wait for him in Kyoto.
The Plum Garden is in Yujing City, and grandma said that it would be safer to gather in other places.
It's just that there is no heating pavilion here, only a heater, so it feels colder than the Plum Garden.
Zhongli Ruoshui was sitting on the second floor, warming the stove and talking to Xiao Shisanniang.
"... There are some similarities between Yunjibieye and Wanxi Zhai. They are both located in the valley. In this late autumn, it is mostly a scene of steaming clouds and mist."
Xiao Shisanniang's face was filled with joy, which was the carefree look that belonged to her age.
In addition, she likes it here better than Plum Garden.
"Of course there are many differences. The building here is very exquisite, it is a beauty we have never imagined, while Wanxi Zhai only has a few thatched huts scattered among the mountains and forests."
Zhongli Ruoshui asked curiously:
"Then do you think it is better here or Wanxi Zhai?"
Xiao Shisanniang pondered for a moment: "Everyone has his own merits. This house is spacious and comfortable to live in, but there is a sense of restraint."
“It’s just that you can’t be too casual because you’re always worried about getting something dirty.”
"Wanxi Zhai doesn't feel like this. We are all very casual."
"Oh... can you tell me the stories of your senior sisters?"
"Okay, Senior Sister Jianwu used to live not far from me. She had studied and didn't like farming very much, so she was the first one to come out."
"By the way, why didn't Senior Sister Sword Dance see it?"
Zhongli Ruoshui smiled slightly, "She went to Lijing Division to do a favor."
"Oh," Xiao Shisanniang didn't think much, and spoke eloquently to Zhongli Ruoshui about the things about Wanxi Zhai.
For example, how they farmed and weaved to be self-sufficient.
For example, hunting in Wangui Mountain and fishing in Mingxi River.
Also like the fairy-like master who lives on the hillside of Wangui Mountain.
Zhongli Ruoshui was very curious about this, and thought that it was a beautiful pastoral life.
He even yearned for it, thinking about how poetic and picturesque it would be if he and Chen An could spend the rest of their lives in such a peaceful place.
There will be no regrets for the rest of my life.
"Master is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life!"
Xiao Shisanniang didn't notice that Zhongli Ruoshui was distracted. She mentioned their master using the word "fairy", which immediately brought Zhongli Ruoshui back from his thoughts.
"When it comes to beauty, she...she should be inferior to you, but she has a fairy aura, which makes her give us a different feeling."
Zhongli Ruoshui was slightly startled: "What does immortal energy look like?"
Xiao Shisanniang frowned and thought for a moment, "Yes, even if she is standing in the vast sea of people, if you look over, your eyes will definitely fall on her."
"How should I put it? She seems to have a unique scent that attracts attention. Even the birds returning to the mountains at night like to build nests in the trees next to her thatched cottage."
"Anyway, from the perspective of us disciples, Master, she seems not to be a human being, so we didn't expect that she would leave Wanxi Zhai and come to this mortal world."
Zhongli Ruoshui couldn't imagine what a woman with a fairy spirit was like.
She was very curious, so she asked: "What is your master's name? Is she coming to Kyoto?"
Xiao Shisanniang smiled and said, "When we were still at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, Mr. Li curiously asked about my master's name, but I didn't tell him."
"Why?"
"I'm worried that Mr. Li will be thinking about her."
"..."
"Her, her name really doesn't match her fairy spirit."
"Her name is Xiao Baozi!"
Zhongli Ruoshui was immediately surprised, "Baozi?"
Xiao Shisanniang smiled sheepishly: "Well, that's why Master doesn't allow us to mention her name to outsiders. You are not an outsider."
"I heard that when the master picked up the master, it was just after an autumn rain, just outside Wangui Mountain. The ground was covered with mud after the rain, and it was very cold. However, the master was holding a bun tightly in his hand. Sleeping soundly in swaddles.”
"So, that's why the master gave the master such a name. He thought it was lenient that she could sleep contentedly with just one bun... In fact, we later found out that it was the master's laziness!"
Zhongli Ruoshui opened his eyes: "Lazy?"
"Yes, Master's laziness is known to every disciple in Wanxi Zhai!"
"She will never get up if the sun doesn't rise three times a day. It's enough to have steamed buns for three meals a day."
"If there was a stool and a recliner, she would lie down on that recliner."
“She raised a donkey, but it turned out to be a wild donkey, because it would probably starve to death when the master got up to cut grass to feed it, so it had to go to the mountains to graze on its own, but it grew shiny and shiny. "
"The master is lazy, and the donkey she raises is also lazy. He even lies on the ground when eating grass."
"That donkey is also very cunning. It prefers to eat the new malt we planted!"
"The master occasionally rides it around in the mountains. For a short distance, one person and one donkey can go for a long time, because the donkey will fish for a bite in the field on the roadside from time to time, and the master's temperament dictates that he never knows what is in a hurry. .”
"Fortunately, she also raised a sea green. If she wanted to see us for anything, she would be too lazy to go to our thatched cottage. Basically, that sea green would deliver the letter."
Zhongli Ruoshui laughed and thought the girl named Xiao Baozi was very interesting. The name was actually quite good and easy to remember.
"She told us last time that she was coming to Kyoto, but the donkey was walking so slowly. It was probably the middle of winter when she arrived in Kyoto."
"Is your master good at martial arts?"
"She should be very powerful. We don't know what state she is in... but she is so lazy, so she probably won't be very powerful."
…
…
After the rain, the official road from Guangling City to Kyoto was very muddy.
The day finally cleared up, and the number of business travelers on Guan Road gradually increased again.
A dark donkey was carrying a girl dressed in gray and white linen clothes, and she was walking slowly and leisurely on the road to Kyoto.
The girl was wearing a bamboo hat, with the edge of the hat pushed down very low, as if to block the sunlight facing her.
Her eyes were narrowed, and her body was swaying slightly from side to side as the donkey walked slowly, very rhythmically, as if she was taking a nap.
At this moment, Li Chenan's eyes fell on her.
The donkey walked very slowly.
But no matter how slow it is, the distance between them is slowly shortening.
Then, Li Chenan saw a girl riding on the back of the black donkey.
He was standing in the field.
The black donkey walked on the official road.
Suddenly, the black donkey stopped, and its head looked towards Li Chenan.
The girl on the donkey's back seemed to wake up too.
She stretched out a hand, lazily lifted the edge of the hat, opened her eyes, and looked at Li Chenan.
