For some reason, or perhaps it is because the autumn in Shu was originally rainy and rainy. Since we left the Yan family, the weather has not been sunny for two consecutive days. It has almost been rainy and rainy. We walked for a full month, which could have been completed in more than 20 days.

By the time we reached Sanjiangkou, it was already October.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

Fortunately, before leaving the Yan family, Yan Qingchen had someone ready for the winter clothes for us. Pei Yuanxiu and I both wore jackets, and Li'er also changed into beautiful little jackets. The crimson satin fabric made her skin look whiter and tenderer, and she was pretty and charming.

But this lovely man had a dull expression on his face.

The tooth she had fallen before had grown, but two more were dropped on the way out of Sichuan. Although she knew it would grow out soon, it still couldn't help her depression. Often, for several hours, she didn't even say a word, and when she opened her mouth again, her mouth became dull and smelly.

At this moment, she leaned against the window and sat on the cushion, rubbing a small thing in her hand. I took a closer look and found that it was the exquisite purse that Mrs. Yan threw to her when she left the Yan family.

The things inside had already been taken out, and she kept an empty purse.

Actually, as soon as she got into the car, she opened her purse, which scared her herself. She couldn't speak for a long time. I leaned over and took a look, and was also shocked.

I don’t know what Mrs. Yan was thinking, but she actually stuffed a total of forty red bills into it.

Even if Pei Yuanxiu and I don’t care, the money will be enough for her to spend her whole life and she can prepare a dowry by the way.

Then, I remembered what she said—

My daughter's family needs to be raised in wealth...

No wonder she said that.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile gently. Mrs. Yan and I were not reconciled. After all, there were some knots in my heart that were not untied. Some knots in her heart might not be so easy to untied. But at least she did not count the grudges of the previous generation on Li'er's head. It was fair to my daughter. This is the best step we can take.

I collected the money. Of course, I didn't have to use my money for Li'er, let alone rely on her father. However, Li'er didn't seem to care much about this, so she focused on rubbing the small purse, which contained the two teeth she had fallen this time.

I thought she was still worried about her beauty and ugliness, and was about to comfort her, but just now she reached out to put her hand on her little shoulder, and before she could speak, the carriage stopped.

Both of us shook for a while, and I hurriedly reached out and held her.

Pei Yuanxiu glanced at us, then lifted the curtain and jumped down. I listened to the movement outside, as if the convoy had stopped and many people got off the carriage. But after a while, Pei Yuanxiu walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain and said to us: "It's here."

arrive?

It's time to Sanjiangkou.

After walking for so many days, we were all dizzy by the carriage. When Li'er heard this, he immediately got up quickly, climbed up on the window and looked out. I also looked out. Sure enough, I saw that the surrounding scenery was different from the previous mountain road. The avenue was flat and smooth, and there were mostly house markets on both sides, which became lively.

Even, you can feel the strong fishy smell of the river water in the air.

Li'er was also excited and was about to look out, but suddenly, she quickly shrank back.

I was a little stunned. When I looked out, I saw that Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi got off the carriage behind us. He moved his stiff neck and looked at us. When his eyes met, he and I were stunned for a moment. He immediately turned to look at the other side. When I frowned slightly and looked down, Li'er's lips were gone, huddled in the corner, as if his hands and feet were ugly, and he could not see anyone no matter what.

I couldn't help but frown.

Although I have been listening to Pei Yuanxiu, I believe that let it go, and that her little bit of thought will gradually fade over time, but for so long, I have not seen her have any thoughts of getting out of this kind of thought.

Thinking of this, my mood became a little heavy, but I still said patiently: "Li'er, we're here, get off the bus soon."

She looked up at me, her eyes a little pitiful.

Along the way, we spent most of our time in our respective cars. Even if we stayed at night, we naturally lived separately according to our respective forces. She and Liu Qinghan naturally had less time to meet. But now, we are inseparable.

I got out of the carriage, then lifted the curtain and looked at her: "Hurry up."

“…”

She pursed her mouth, and finally moved slowly over, holding my hand and jumped out of the carriage.

This is a village and town closest to Sanjiangkou Wharf. It is not big, but it is an important transportation hub for Shu and other places to travel, so it is very prosperous and has a large population.

It was not too late. It was just past Shenshi, but we were very tired after taking the car for so long, so we decided to eat here and have some rest.

The servants immediately opened the way for us. After a while, they found a clean restaurant in the town. When we entered, the boss had some vision. When he saw that Pei Yuanxiu and his friends were not ordinary guests, he immediately came forward and welcomed us to a private room by the window on the second floor.

After rushing these days, I ate dry food. Even if I encounter a place where people are crowded, I can’t enjoy it. Everyone is inevitably a little greedy. The men are even more greedy, so they ordered the best wine and food here. Everyone talked a few words, and soon the bead curtain on the door was lifted open, and two young women with quite color came in with wine and food.

"Several guests, I've been waiting for a long time."

"This is a top-quality spicy beef made by the small shop, so you should try it."

"And this pepper and chicken, the specialty dish of the shop!"

While serving the dishes, they enthusiastically introduced each other. When the food and food were served, everyone looked at each other after they left.

After a while, Wu Yanqiu smiled and said, "It's the first time I saw a woman in a restaurant who works as a waiter."

"yes."

"They are really not afraid of people."

While everyone was joking, they started drinking and eating. I also picked up some dishes for Li'er and put them on her plate, and then laughed and said, "Actually, this is nothing in Xichuan. Most of the women in Xichuan are stingy, and most of them are in charge of the boss. In addition, this looks like a small business, so the boss's wife is probably not afraid of people."

"It seems to be true." Wu Yanqiu said, looking down from the window. There are many sesame oil shops and tofu shops on the street. You can see women standing at the counter. Even the fish sellers who came back from the river were mostly fishing women shouting to buy them.

He smiled and said, "Everyone says that Nishikawa is the country of daughters, and this is true."

"Yes." I smiled, looked at Liu Qinghan on the side, and said, "When Lord Liu entered Sichuan last time, didn't he also sigh that there were many beauties in Xichuan, so was it too early to get engaged?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the table was stunned.

Liu Qinghan was also stunned and looked at me in surprise, as if surprised at how I suddenly "betrayed" him. But when he looked down at Li'er, whose face had changed a little, he immediately understood.

He smiled awkwardly, but he still followed the good words: "Madam, why are you talking about this again."

“…”

"However, a graceful lady is a gentleman, and this is what the saying in the Book of Songs. The ancients even regarded it as elegant, so my official is not abrupt."

When he said this, the men naturally understood it. Everyone agreed and laughed, raised their glasses, and the matter naturally passed.

But Li'er, who was beside me, buried her head lower.

We all had enough food and drink, and when we left the restaurant, dusk was already coming.

People in remote towns often turn off the lights early. The streets that were busy before were bustling at this time seemed to have been sleeping alone after a day of lively life, leaving only a few restaurant shops that were not closed. The red lanterns swaying at the door exuded a faint warmth in the night.

At our feet are elongated shadows, which sway as our steps, appearing mottled and messy.

At this moment, Xiao Yusheng, who had been silent for a while, suddenly said "um", stopped and turned to look.

It was a deep night.

We all looked at him strangely.

He rarely talked along the way, and he rarely participated when we were chatting and laughing, but just kept a faint smile and sat aside, as if it had nothing to do with us. Since I learned about his murderous brother, I have been quite taboo about him, let alone say nothing more.

But at this time, his actions made everyone pay attention.

Du Yan immediately stepped forward: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yusheng didn't say anything, but kept looking at the dark night.

The people around him immediately became alert.

Among our group of people, to be humbly speaking, none of them has a cheap value. Anyone's head is worth at least a thousand gold in hostile forces. For Pei Yuanxiu, Liu Qinghan and others, Xichuan is even more like a tiger's den. Even if Yan Qingchen doesn't attack them, it does not mean that there are no other people who are hostile to the court and Jiangnan who are not murderous intent towards them.

not to mention--

I looked at Pei Yuanxiu, and his expression immediately became solemn.

In Jixiang Village, the arrow that almost killed him!

That is definitely something he can't forget until now. What's more important is that the mastermind behind that incident has not appeared until now. At that time, that person spent so much effort to assassinate Pei Yuanxiu, and even lurked near my home for almost a year. If he knew that the target he was going to kill was still alive, would he use the same trick again?

Not only him, Wen Fengxi also pushed Liu Qinghan behind him.

Thinking of this, everyone's breathing became tense.

Xiao Yusheng stood there motionless. Our breathing was rapid, but his breathing was long and even. On such a quiet night, it became extremely clear.
