But Ye Wumian shook his head and said: "If there is no reason, you have to follow me, how does this make sense? People must live for something when they live in the world, otherwise they are no different from the walking zombies? What you said , is not established.”
He remembered that he had traveled all the way from Anhua, whether he was going to Changsha, Black Elk Peak, Prince Ji's Mansion, or Wugong Mountain, as well as the Lushan Mountain and Chengdu he was going to in the future.
There are all kinds of threads, they are constantly being cut, and they are still chaotic, and they become his source of motivation, supporting him to go on.
Chu Yan gently patted Yun Sheng and asked, "Master, it's not always the case. You have to do something because of a reason. People are controlled by layers of cause and effect. Isn't it just a puppet on a string?"
Ye Wumian was not to be outdone: "But it's better than the walking dead!"
It was rare for Chu Yan not to argue. He smiled mischievously and said, "That's alright. Since I am a walking corpse, Master, you shouldn't mind if a walking corpse follows you. There are only walking corpses on the left and right, so what's the problem?"
Ye Wumian sighed.
Infatuated men and resentful women are the two most terrifying types of people in the world.
When Chu Yan was acting like an actor, what was vividly displayed in her lyrics was endless resentment; when she was dressing up as a Taoist nun, every word was full of infatuation.
Infatuation and resentment were all taken up by her for a moment.
Apart from his obsession and resentment, Ye Wumian tried his best to still not be able to get rid of her, which can be said to be invincible in the world.
He was really at his wits' end, and was at his wits' end.
Ye Wumian looked at Chu Yan and said depressedly: "But what's the benefit of following me? As you said, I'm just a puppet. The walking dead follows the puppet, isn't it true that the mute is sitting on the back of the blind man? You are not You’re going to get a bruise and a swollen face!”
Chu Yan also took a bowl of porridge and rice from Dr. Tea and drank it slowly.
"Young master, you don't know that a mute and a blind man are a perfect match. The blind man doesn't suffer from all kinds of weird things, and the mute doesn't have the problem of chattering. Instead, he saves a lot of worry, and both of them share a lot of purity."
After eating, Wuxian paid back the money for tea, porridge and rice, took Yunsheng back from Chu Yan, and stepped on the stirrup to get on the horse.
He picked up the reins and did not run wildly. He just relaxed and threw himself eastward.
Chu Yan still followed unhurriedly, with a smile on his face, innocent and unprepared, and every move seemed to come from his heart.
At noon, the weather turned cold and gloomy.
In the sky to the north, there were heavy clouds in the dark sky. A sudden wind blew up, causing grass to fall to the ground, sand to fly and rocks to fly, and dust to roll up in such a vast mess that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Afraid of hurting Yunsheng, Ye Wumian had no choice but to dismount and protect his head as he walked.
Chu Yan also took out a piece of fine cotton cloth from her package and wrapped it around Yun Sheng to prevent him from getting cold.
In the desert, a low city appears in front of you. On the simple city wall, three big characters are written, "Pingxiang County".
At the gate of the city, there were many travelers accompanying the old and the young, and merchants carrying burdens on their shoulders. There are also farmers in the mountains who take advantage of the slack season to pick some radishes and yams and come to the city to sell them.
Several soldiers, wearing thin clothes, rubbed their hands and feet in the cold wind and cursed the weather loudly. Occasionally, when I see pedestrians passing by who I don’t like, I kick them to vent my anger.
Most of the people who were kicked were thin, defenseless, poor, old and weak, so they could only lower their eyebrows and look down upon them, dare not speak out, and hurry on their way.
Outside the city gate, Ye Wumian looked at Chu Yan and advised: "Miss Chu, we have arrived at Pingxiang County. Although this small county is not very big, it will definitely not lack the excitement that a market should have. Why don't you and I say goodbye here?" , you go to the city to find some shops, and I’ll continue eastbound, are you okay?”
Chu Yan swept away the dust and said with a smile: "Sir, how do you try every possible means to drive people away? I am originally from Anlu, Huguang. I once went to Beijing with my brother and stayed there for two months. It was very boring. I also traveled alone to Xi'an, Luoyang City, Changsha City. I have taken all the prosperity of these big cities, so how can I covet the excitement of this mere county? Master, please stop making trouble."
After hearing this, Ye Wumian thought he understood.
This Chu Yan must be a very bored rich lady who enjoys traveling around mountains and rivers. The reason why he is following me now is probably because of his youthful nature. The picture is fresh for a while. When this freshness wears off, he may leave on his own.
He thought: "I have always been worried that she was someone sent by Prince Ji's Mansion to deal with me. Now, looking at it, this possibility is slim."
Judging from the level of Qing Gong displayed by Chu Yan when he chased him twice, his martial arts cultivation must be extremely high, or at least he is an expert specializing in Qing Gong.
Although such a master claimed to have connections with Prince Ji's Mansion, he did not intervene on the night when Ye Wumian and others abducted Luo Xiangzhu, so how could he do something small at this time?
"That's it, that's it. If she wants to follow, just follow. I'll give her good food and drink, don't let this rich lady be wronged. Just think of it as a sinful act. I've killed many people in my life. , In the future, there will be such a meritorious deed in the Hall of Yama that can make up for the sin."
I have no choice but to follow her.
When I checked into an inn in Pingxiang County, I booked two rooms, one upper room and one middle room.
He gave Chu Yan the upper room to live in, and he took Yun Sheng to live in the middle room. He deposited one or two silver in advance to pay for food, accommodation, horse care and fodder, and agreed to check out tomorrow and settle the bill.
A night of silence.
When I got up the next day, I felt something strange about Yunsheng. When I touched my forehead, it felt hot to the touch.
The cub suddenly developed a fever at some point, and the fever was quite serious. He had his eyes closed and was unconscious.
After raising the cub for several days, this was the first time I encountered this situation, and I was quite confused.
Even if Yun Sheng cried before, it was mostly because he was in a hurry to eat and drink and could not express himself in words, so he made any noise.
Ye Wumian hopes that Yunsheng can cry and make a fuss at this moment, which at least means that he is in good health and has no worries.
In the melancholy place, Chu Yan knocked on the door and came in, touched Yunsheng's forehead, frowned and said, "It's probably caused by the sudden coldness of the weather yesterday and the evil spirit entering the body."
Today she no longer looks like a Taoist nun, and I don’t know where she received the fly whisk.
Wearing a cherry red jacket, white velvet shoulders, and an apricot red ribbon around her waist, she has an aura that makes people feel ashamed.
It is so beautiful, but I have no sleep at night and have no intention of admiring it. I said with a sad face: "It's like this, what should I do?"
Unintentionally, I just felt that Chu Yan in this kind of attire looked a little bit like Luo Xiangzhu.
Or maybe it's an illusion.
Chu Yan said calmly: "Then we can only invite famous doctors to come for treatment. The winter is cold, the weather has changed, and the child is weak. If he accidentally catches wind and cold, he will fall ill."
Hearing this, Ye Wumian picked up Yunsheng from the bed and was about to go out.
Chu Yan said: "Where are you going, young master?"
"As you said, go and hire a famous doctor."
Chu Yan smiled and said, "But you don't have to look for it yourself. When I went out to have tea last night, I happened to meet a palace doctor who was staying in this inn. Why don't I go call him and treat your son personally? , and save the young master’s troubles.”
