The water potential of the canal soared after several days of rain, and the fishermen were overwhelmed, watching the rolling waves, and hardly dared to go down the river.The weather in October is getting colder, and it is almost difficult to support the family's expenses without fishing.

The village is not big, relying on the canal, almost all make a living by fishing, and every household is a fisherman.

There is a family at the end of the village. The grandmother lived with her 13-year-old grandson. The son and daughter-in-law both fell into the river and disappeared. Such things are not uncommon. Fishing is not a safe job.

Many people died in the canal, civilians or officials, countless, the village heard about it, and no one dared to ask, after all, they didn't care about court affairs.

There are not many people at the end of the village, there is a fenced yard, and there are two or three chickens raised at home running in it.Going further back, there are still a lot of ducks, which will be sold during the Chinese New Year.

Li Min rolled up his cuffs and was about to catch the chicken. As soon as he jumped, the chicken ran up the fence.

I met two young ladies in the river yesterday. They were dressed differently from them. Out of curiosity, I rescued them and brought them back.

Grandma took the mother's old clothes and changed them for the two, and then asked the chicken to be cooked in chicken soup. He stood outside scratching his head and knocked on the door.

A young lady came out from inside. He smiled foolishly and handed over the soup, "Grandma asked me to bring it for you. The chicken has been raised for more than a year, so it can be replenished."

Seeing the young man, Chu Ran smiled slightly: "Thank you, and thank you grandma."

"Okay." Li Min popped out a good word in a long time, with a naive look, sent the chicken soup over, and ran out of the backyard.

The fenced yard is quite large, with grandparents and grandchildren living in the front, and a clean room at the back was given to Chu Ran. She brought chicken soup into the house, while Lu Shi was still asleep.

The wind and waves were too strong that night, and the boat capsized after all. Just in time, they met Li Min, who was not afraid of death, and came out to fish. The two got on his boat and came to the fishing village together.

Lu Shi drank more river water, and also got cold. He had a fever all night and still didn't wake up. There is no charcoal fire here, and the quilt is not thick.

She blew on the chicken soup, put it aside to help Lu Yi get up, touched her forehead, it was still very hot, and she didn't know if it would help after drinking the chicken soup.

The prince often had a fever when he was young, and he became a doctor after a long illness. She also knew a little bit, first feed the stomach before talking, she carefully cooled the chicken soup, and fed it to her spoonful by spoonful.

Lu Xiang moved the corners of his lips, and after a few sips, he couldn't feed it anymore. Chu Ran didn't force him, and after putting him down, he went to fetch some well water.

There was a well in the backyard, which was very convenient. She soaked a dry cloth and covered Lu Xiang's forehead, changing it every minute.

The rain stopped outside, but I didn't know where this place was, and I didn't dare to reveal my identity at will. People's hearts are sinister, so I don't know that there are no bad people.In the evening, the high fever still persisted, so Grandma brought some medicine.

"We don't have a doctor here. We usually get cold and fever. We gather herbs to drink by ourselves. I asked Ah Min to pick them. You can try." Granny bent over, kind-hearted, and patient with others.

Chu Ran looked at the dark concoction, gritted his teeth and fed it to Lu Shi, and then sent grandma away.

At the end of the village is the mountain, and the river is in front of it. Li Min went up the mountain to pick it. Chu Ran was very grateful, but unfortunately he didn't bring any money with him, and he didn't know what to thank.

After the medicine was fed, Chu Ran's heart was still in suspense. When taking care of the prince, even if the high fever persisted, there was still an imperial doctor waiting beside him.In this remote place, she was the only one who didn't even have a word to make up her mind.

She stood by the bed, held Lu Shi's hand, and did not dare to go to sleep, relying on her, as long as Lu Shi moved, she would know.

In the middle of the night, perhaps the grandmother's medicine was effective, and the high fever subsided. Chu Ran was overjoyed, touched Lu Shi's forehead, couldn't help but kissed him, and fell asleep leaning against the bed.

At dawn, someone held her hand and called her softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness."

Chu Ran didn't sleep well for two nights, felt confused for a while, looked up at the person on the bed, climbed onto the bed, got into the quilt and fell asleep.

Lu Shi woke up dimly, because he was also afraid that she would catch the wind and cold when she fell asleep. Before she could make a sound, she saw her crawling up on her own, her body was cold.She smiled weakly, stretched out her arms to hug her, and didn't make any noise, she was also dizzy, and fell asleep in a moment.

When the grandmother came to knock on the door the next day, Chu Ran was startled, looked down at herself, and was lying in Lu Shi's arms.She immediately went to touch her forehead, determined in her heart.

I got up happily and opened the door for my grandma. I was greeted with steaming white porridge, served with pickled cucumbers made at home. The smell made me feel hungry.

Grandma pushed the bowl to her, "Your sister has never woken up. If she wakes up, drink some porridge and she will be cured."

People in the fishing village have a lot of lives, and they don't have those delicate thoughts. Chu Ran took the bowl and thanked him repeatedly. When he turned around, he saw Lu Shi sitting up on his own.

Her face was pale, even the corners of her lips were white, she walked over with the porridge, "Why did you get up, it's very cold here, you'd better lie down."

"I've been lying for a long time, and my body feels uncomfortable." Lu Shi leaned against the wall, her black hair stretched out, and her complexion became fairer. She took the porridge in Chu Ran's hand, blew it, and drank it by herself. The stomach was empty, and she drank it Feel nauseated after taking it.She endured it to suppress the discomfort.

Just after waking up, he swept around the house, and there was only one couch in the house, which was made of ordinary wooden boards, not even painted.Three or two small boxes, most of which are old things.

Chu Ran was dressed in coarse linen, which covered most of that temperament, and looked like an innocent girl.

Therefore, she guessed that it was in a residential house.

I slept in a daze for a long time, and I didn't know what was going on outside. The official ship sank, and the court would definitely send people to investigate and investigate. It depended on who the Emperor Chu sent. If it was the Huo family, they couldn't show up.

After some careful thinking, Chu Ran sent the bowl out of the house, and when she came back, she brought a basin of clear water, steaming, and said first: "This is a fishing village. I don't know which county it belongs to. When you wake up, we Let's discuss where to go."

She supported Lu Shi to lie down, and when she turned around, a smile flashed in Lu Shi's eyes, and it disappeared in a flash.After Chu Ran turned back, she looked normal.Chu Ran fetched hot water and wanted to scrub her. When the fever was high, her body was covered with sweat, and she would feel uncomfortable when she woke up.

I wiped it once yesterday, and now I don’t feel anything when I wipe it again. As soon as she opened the quilt, Lu Shi frowned. good."

Just as Chu Ran wanted to nod, she paused. At that time, Lu Xiang was not so reserved. When he was distressed, he thought it was funny, and easily brushed her hand away: "Why is Lu Xiang serious again?"

At that time, I took off my clothes very quickly.

Lu Shi's face turned red. At this time, he was no different from ordinary people. He turned his head away, assuming that he was acquiescing to Chu Ran.

Chu Ran had a deep smile, and the arrogant Lu Xiang was also very funny. The handkerchief was not as soft as at home, and it was rough when rubbed on the skin, and it would hurt even when he was strong.Chu Ran wiped lightly, and wiped off all the stickiness on her body. The clothes were untied and wiped quickly. It is cool here, so don't get caught in the wind and cold again.

She is very serious, and she doesn't take the opportunity to bully others. She is much better than when she was in the northwest.

After scrubbing, Chu Ran went outside to fetch well water and washed all the dirty clothes that the two of them had changed. Grandma is getting old and can't bother others to do laundry.

Li Min, who was outside, came over and saw that she was washing with cold water, her beautiful hands were red from the cold, and said naively, "I'll heat the water for you before washing, it's easy to get chilblains."

"It's okay, it's just once. By the way, let me ask you where is this place. How far is it from the county?" Chu Ran put his hand on his lips and exhaled warmly. He couldn't live here all the time, he had to go out.

Li Min was young and spent a lot of time outside. Hearing her question, he thought about it carefully and replied: "This is the junction of two counties, so it's not easy to decide. By the way, my sister is going to the market. you go?"

Chu Ran was thinking about this, and she went out to have a look to find out what was going on outside. Seeing that it was still early, she hurriedly washed the clothes, dried them, and then went to see Lu Shi.

"I went to the market with Li Min to have a look. The clothes are all unusable. Go and buy a few ordinary ones and come back. What's wrong with you?" Chu Ran walked over and explained the meaning clearly, so as not to make people feel at ease.

Just now, Lu Shi had almost heard what Chu Ran and Li Min said, and said, "Are you rich?"

"No, I can just use the hairpin." Chu Ran touched under the bed board and took out a hairpin. It was a Nanzhu hairpin bought in a private market. It was exquisite in style. She lowered her voice: "I won't want it." Too much silver, half of it will be lost, I brought a dagger, nothing will happen, if you have something to call grandma."

She was very thoughtful, and Lu Shi couldn't say anything to refute, so he reached out and touched her cheek: "Then you should be careful, safety is the top priority, money will be fine for a while, come back safely."

"Understood." Chu Ran let her touch it, and after feeling her worry, he rubbed her palm and comforted him: "It's okay for me to go to the Northwest alone, but it's just a small place. You bring pastry."

After finishing speaking, she put her hand into the quilt, touched the quilt, it was a little thin, but she didn't know if she could buy a thick one, after tucking the quilt, she went with Li Min.

Along the way, Li Min was chatting about interesting things. There were not many girls in the village, and they stayed at home all day long. When he saw a handsome girl, he couldn't help saying a few more words.

"There are several pawnshops in the county, all of which are very black-hearted. If my sister wants to pawn, go to the one in the east of the city. They are more honest."

When Chu Ran first arrived, she didn't know the local rules. After listening to Li Min's words, she went to the house in the east of the city. When she arrived, she realized that there was no black heart, and it was too dark, so she gave her five taels, broke more than half of it, and left.

The shopkeeper looked at Chu Ran with his eyes: "Look at your appearance. I don't know when the clothes were made. If you can give you so much from other stolen goods, it is considered polite. If you don't leave, you will report to the official."

The things on the private market were all of wrong origin, so Chu Ran was not good at arguing with him, so she took the money and left, and when she left the pawnshop, she felt that someone was following her.

After running into a clothing store, Li Mincai said, "That's a man from the pawnshop, trying to get back the money."

Chu Ran had seen it, she didn't want such a thing to happen in this small place, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up at the clothes in the shop, chose a blue one, picked it up and down, and even chose aqua blue colored.

They are all ready-made clothes, and the size may be a little different. If you go back and change it, the difference will not be too much. Some of them can be worn, and after you buy them, you only spend a tael of silver.

Chu Ran had never been so meticulous before, and the days of spending money like water made her unable to see people's livelihood clearly. After buying clothes, she dared not buy any more.Li Chu followed her all the way, so he just went back empty-handed.

"What kind of snacks do you like, I'll buy some for you and grandma." She said it sincerely, and Li Min scratched his head, not ashamed to ask for it, because Hua girl's money would be poked in the back.

He refused to answer no matter what, Chu Ran reluctantly went to the street market to buy snacks, but the price was not low, so he hesitated to buy anything.

Halfway through, she was hungry, and she saw a mutton soup shop, a bowl of soup cost a few pennies, which was much cheaper than in Yingdu city, so she invited Li Min to drink the soup and eat a piece of cake.

Grease is sprinkled on the cakes, they are soft and soft, and they are baked thick and big one by one. The chopped green onions are very fragrant. When they are placed on top, the two sides are slightly burnt and the color is also very beautiful.Li Min ate four or five of them in one go, feeling rather embarrassed.

Chu Ran didn't care, smiled, and asked the store to wrap four cakes and take them back to the village. After eating, he went to the county government office. He followed the front door and back door several times. It was very quiet inside, and there was no news.

She couldn't believe it, and went back with her clothes and cakes.It's okay to go back to the capital city of Ying at this time, but the remaining money can't make it back, so it's better to wait for Li Chu on the spot.

Besides, he didn't know if there would be any danger on the way back. King Heng knew that Cheng was in danger, so he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't get in the way of it. After much deliberation, he decided to stay quiet.

Someone was selling side dishes in front of the city gate, as well as chickens and ducks. Chu Ran thought of yesterday’s chicken soup and wanted to buy one. Li Min stopped her: "There are ducks at home, why waste money?"

He told the truth, the chickens and ducks at home will be sold after the Chinese New Year.

Chu Ran thought for a while, yes, just give the money to Grandma at that time, she nodded and agreed: "Okay, that's okay."

It was also safe on the way back. Grandma made millet jujube cake at home. As soon as she entered the door, she could smell the sweetness. Chu Ran gave the cake to Grandma and kept one for herself.

She and Li Min were young, trotting all the way here, the pancakes were still hot.

Grandma brought a bowl of chicken soup and two jujube cakes. Chu Ran thanked her with a smile, and brought them in for Lu Shi to eat.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lu Shi woke up. The sound insulation in the house is not good, and he can hear any noise outside.

Seeing that she woke up, Chu Ran said first: "I went to the county government office, it was very quiet there, the imperial court didn't issue any decree, I think there is no movement here, wait a few days and see."

She handed the clothes to Lu Shi and said, "I bought two sets, both inside and out. You can try it. The outer clothes are too gorgeous, so I'm afraid you won't be able to wear them. Also, the material is not good, so you can make do with it. "

The clothes were chosen according to Lu Shi's usual habits. She didn't like bright colors, so she chose blue.

Chu Ran babbled a lot. Lu Shi had a high fever a few days ago, which scared her into a daze. Now that she has let go of her mind, she feels relaxed.

She handed the fat cake to Lu Shi, took the soup herself, and said: "This place is small, and there are many villains. The hairpin is half of the money, so I don't dare to buy some food at will. But I see that the food here is similar to that in Yingdu. The jujube cake made by grandma is also very fragrant, you should try it first."

After finishing speaking, I got up to find my grandma, and asked her if she wanted to make more medicine, for fear of relapse.

Chu Ran was about to leave, but Lu Shi took her hand: "Where are you going?"

"I asked my grandma if she wanted to drink medicine. Your illness was cured by her bowl of medicine."

"I'm fine, no need." Lu Shi held her hand, and when she woke up, she saw that she was busy and couldn't say a few words. Her eyes were smiling, light and soft.

Chu Ran didn't know what she meant, but she was still worried, and insisted: "I'll come here after I ask. You change your clothes first, because you feel uncomfortable."

Lu Shi didn't want her to leave, his pale face was weak, and he didn't have much strength to hold her, so he finally nodded and let her go.

Chu Ran went to find her grandma when she went out. There were a lot of dried salted fish in the house, which were all dried in the sun on weekdays. There were more fish than food in the house.After lunch, Grandma was taking care of the dried fish. When she saw her coming, she said, "We will steam the dried fish to eat at night. These are dried in the sun. Once steamed, they will be very fragrant and crisp."

"Okay, grandma, I want to ask if there is any medicine left? My sister has woken up and her fever has subsided, but is there any problem?" Chu Ran asked.

Grandma smiled kindly, and waved her hand: "Just take good care of it, and there are still chickens at home, just drink a few more bowls of soup."

Only then did Chu Ran settle down, and after walking a few steps, he gave half of the remaining money to Grandma.

Grandma refused to take it, she pushed it over: "You are welcome, when you still need money in the future, the chickens that have been raised for a year are also raised with money, so you can keep it and eat your dried fish at night."

Without waiting for Grandma to speak, Chu Ran went back to the house, closed the door, and Lu Shi changed his clothes. Seeing her come back, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat it, and drank mutton soup." Chu Ran strode over, looked at the quilt, feeling uncomfortable all the time, and said, "I asked my grandma to buy a quilt, it won't be good if it freezes any longer. "

Thinking about going out again, Lu Shi was helpless: "Don't be too busy, take a rest first, and don't be in a hurry."

Chu Ran thought about it too, sat down obediently, saw that there was still soup in the bowl, and brought it up to him: "Grandma said that you will get better after drinking soup, this place is remote, when you recover from illness, we will go outside to have a look , not in a hurry."

She took it eagerly, and Lu Shi didn't want to drink it. He drank the soup by himself and gave her the jujube cake: "The cake is very sweet, just try it."

The jujube cake was sweet and greasy, and it still had the taste of red dates. Chu Ran felt hungry after running for half a day, so he ate a piece and said, "It's quiet here. If you feel better tomorrow, we'll go for a walk. There are a lot of food in the town, you can Go try it."

Putting those things aside for the time being, it was useless to think too much, she felt very comfortable lying on the couch, even though the bed was very hard, there was a room that could keep out the wind and rain.

The bed was very small, and neither of them could move freely while lying down. Chu Ran lay down for a while, remembering that the clothes she had changed hadn't been washed yet, so she got up again to wash them.

She was so busy that Lu Shi couldn't stop her, so he put on his clothes and followed her.

Chu Ran is not an ordinary princess who is elegant and dignified. She also washed her clothes in the northwest. She simply rubs them and cleans them with well water.Lu Shi didn't make any noise, just watched quietly. Not long after, smoke rose from the chimney in the front yard.

Grandma is cooking dinner.

Lu Shi walked a few steps in the yard, but Li Min in front didn't dare to come in. It happened that someone next door called him to go up the mountain to catch pheasants, so he hurriedly took two pieces of cake and went.

Chu Ran heard the voice outside, and wanted to go and have a look, but was stopped by Lu Shi: "Calm down, okay?"

Li Min looked at the two of them strangely, he hurriedly greeted the outsiders and left.

After she left, Chu Ran said: "There may be deer on the mountain."

Lu Shi said, "Can you catch it?"

When Chu Ran was asked by her, she suddenly lost her confidence: "I have also gone hunting, and the deer is naturally not a problem."

Lu Shi looked at her suspiciously, and led her back to the house.It was warmer inside the house than outside, she took out her water-blue clothes, "You change your clothes too."

"This is for you, why should I change it." Chu Ran didn't change it, looked down at her gray linen clothes, and then at the satin on Lu Shi's body, "You despise me?"

The status is not equal, the clothes are not symmetrical.

Lu Shi was helplessly shocked by her thoughts, and poked the fabric on her body, "Don't you think it's poking people? These clothes are not good at all. After a long time, the material is hard and uncomfortable to wear."

"No, I can accept it." Chu Ran refused.

"I know the money is not enough, you can't save much by doing this." Lu Shi pierced her mind, said to bring back some snacks when she went, and brought back a piece of cake half a day later, which showed that she was not optimistic.

Chu Ran's face turned red, "I still have money, I'm just useless, these are bought for you, the size is yours, I don't fit properly."

"I just read it, just change it." Lu Shi insisted.

Chu Ran still refused: "I won't change it, I will eat dried fish at night, and I will help grandma."

Lu Shi couldn't persuade her, so he had to let her go and talk about it at night.

After leaving the house, I found the cook. Grandma was lighting a fire. She leaned over to see it. After the fire was lit, she took over Grandma's place.

Grandma told her: "When cooking rice, you can just let the fire spread evenly. You need to use a small pot for cooking. When the time comes, direct the fire to it, and you don't need to light it again."

Vegetables are delicious in October, and with some garlic, they are delicious.

Chu Ran followed her grandma to help, and while watching, she knew in her heart that the green vegetables were fried, and the color was green and oily, which was pleasing to the eye.

The dried fish is steamed on top of the rice, which is salty and delicious.

After it was done, Grandma left a portion for Li Min to heat up in the pot, and Chu Ran brought a portion for Lu Shi, along with a bowl of chicken soup.

After Chu Ran entered the house, Lu Shi got up to pick it up. After looking at the delicious dishes, he smiled and said, "What have you learned?"

"I probably learned how to cook green vegetables and steamed rice. I'll make it for you later." Chu Ran said casually. She pushed the soup to Lu Shi, and took a big bite of the rice herself.

Lu Shi did not refuse her kindness. She used to think that she was still young. After waking up today, she handled everything well, and her temperament can be seen in the details.

After the two had dinner, Chu Ran took out the dishes and chopsticks to wash, and Li Min just came back, holding a rabbit in his hand, his face covered with dust, shaking it at her, and grinning.

The rabbit was forked and was about to die. Grandma went to dig a well and immediately peeled the skin: "If you put it in tomorrow, it won't taste good if you eat it again. If you peel it now and roast it tomorrow, it will taste very good. It's not bad." Pickle it and eat it during Chinese New Year, it’s better than dried fish.”

Grandma's knife skills are very good, and she can peel the rabbit skin in two or three strokes.The wild rabbit's fur is not good, and the color is also mixed. It is also useful to peel it off and expose it to the sun tomorrow.

After eating two big bowls of rice, Li Min asked strangely, "Grandma, why is she willing to steam the rice today? Have you bought food at home?"

"The girl is sick and can't drink porridge, so she steamed the rice, you go and rest." The grandmother looked at Chu Ran cheerfully: "Rabbit meat is also good for people, and I will cook it for the girl tomorrow."

Chu Ran was worried about Lu Shi's health, so it was difficult to refuse, so he nodded.

When going back, Lu Shi leaned against the wall, saw her coming with hot water, got up consciously, and said in a low voice, "I'll follow you to the county tomorrow."

"In a few days, it's okay to eat and live here. Tomorrow, I will eat rabbit meat. Grandma is good at cooking." Chu Ran said.Lu Shi's health is not very good, his body is cold on weekdays, after soaking in the river for so long, if he doesn't raise it for a few days, his body will suffer in the future.

Her tone was firm, and Lu Shi could not accept her kindness, so he acquiesced.

After the hot water came in, Chu Ran first said: "Grandma said that there are herbs in it, and soaking her feet is good for her health. In addition, she said to take her a bath with herbs tomorrow, so that her condition will not recur."

She spoke every word her grandma said, clearly caring.Once Chu Ran puts people in her heart, she will take everything seriously. Although she is young, she also tries her best to learn to take care of people.

Lu Shi lifted the quilt and put her feet in the hot water. The heat was so hot that she almost pulled her feet back. Chu Ran beside her said, "It's only effective if you burn it, just bear with it."

She suddenly walked over, squatted down, looked at the jade feet in the hot water, touched them with her hands, and said, "Lu Xiang's feet..." She paused, unable to think of what to say.

Lu Shi stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said, "Aren't you going to wash up?"

She is shy.Chu Ran raised her eyebrows with a three-point smile: "No hurry, you go to bed first."

"Okay." Lu Shi didn't bother her, and lay down after washing. Chu Ran came over after taking off his clothes, and lay down after taking off his clothes. The two stuck together, and Lu Shi held her hand: "Then The night hit, does it still hurt?"

That night, she rolled off the bed and couldn't get up. Seeing that she was alive and kicking today, Lu Shi feared that she was holding on.

Chu Ran touched the spine on his back, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Lu Shi groped along her arm, landed on her back, hugged her whole body, and pressed against her forehead: "If you want to tell the truth, don't hide it from me, you know?"

The oil lamps in the house had been extinguished long ago. The Li family was not a wealthy family, and poverty could be seen everywhere. Chu Ran couldn't waste other people's oil lamps, so they blew them out before he got on the bed.In this way, I couldn't see the other party's expression clearly, and felt a sense of embarrassment in Lu Shi's hand, "I really don't hurt, I will go and see tomorrow alone, and if there is any movement, I will play it by ear."

I walked in a hurry that night, I didn't take the prime minister's order to go to the county government office like this, I was afraid that I would be beaten out as a madman.Furthermore, it is not yet known whether the county magistrate is good or evil. If they fall into the hands of the enemy, the situation will be worrisome.

Lu Shi had thought about this too, and a few more counties ahead was Qinghe County.

Only by entering Qinghe and seeing the governor can we get out of the predicament.The governor is a general, not a Huo Party member, and they will recognize their identities at that time.It's just that Chu Ran couldn't hold on to Qinghe by water, and couldn't go by dry road.

"Don't go to the county government office. Let's go to Qinghe in a few days and ignore the county magistrate here." Lu Shi suggested.

After speaking, the room was quiet, and no one responded to her. When she got closer, she heard the sound of even breathing, and fell asleep.Lu Shi thought it was funny, pinched her nose, kissed the corner of her lips, and hugged her into his arms.

I hope that the danger of that night will be over.

Hugged and fell asleep, breathing entangled, sleeping too comfortably, and was forced to wake up until the cock crowed, Chu Ran woke up in a daze, and Lu Shi was still sleeping.She gently got out of Lu Shi's arms, put on her clothes, and closed the door carefully when she left the house.

After the door was closed, Lu Shi woke up, looked at the direction Chu Ran left, coughed a few times, and then went back to sleep.Before the wind and cold healed, she would become Chu Ran's burden.

Chu Ran got up, grandma cooked the porridge, put shredded chicken in the porridge today, and used yesterday's chicken soup to cook the porridge.She called Li Min to catch a chicken, take the blood, pluck and wash it.

Chu Ran sent the shredded chicken porridge to Lu Shi, and tidied it up by herself. She was still dressed in sackcloth from yesterday, with a dagger on her waist. When she was about to leave, Lu Shi called her: "You pawned the jade pendant, buy clothes and come back."

The jade pendant that Lu Shi carried with him was of good quality, but it had no special meaning. The real concern was a reward from His Majesty.

"I still have money, let's talk about not having enough." Chu Ran only regarded it as her favorite thing.

Lu Shi smiled and said, "The jade pendant is a gift from His Majesty, not a precious thing."

Chu Ran then took it: "Say it early, come back to buy some food, and bring ginseng to make soup for you. Don't go out, and call grandma."

After all, he walked away with a smile.

This time I went again and changed a shop. The jade is a good jade, otherwise the Emperor Chu would not be able to sell it, so people would pay attention and let Li Min enter the pawn shop.

After a cup of tea, Li Min came out happily and slapped Chu Ran.

Chu Ran immediately said cheerfully: "Okay, please go eat the mutton pot."

In order to prevent what happened yesterday, Chu Ran took Li Min to the back door of the county government office, found the porter, bribed him with dozens of pennies, asked a few words that were not important, drank half a bowl of dregs, and then left slowly come out.

No one dared to follow them outside anymore, even if they had a gold medal on someone related to the county government, the pawnshops would not dare to mess with them again.

It was almost noon, and Chu Ran wanted to choose a restaurant, take Li Min to dinner, and listen to something important happening along the way.Li Minren's small eyes were bright, and he chose a restaurant with a lot of traffic.

The two of them were not well dressed, and after the waiter took them in, he lazily asked what they wanted to eat.

Chu Ran didn't understand the local characteristics, and pointed to Li Min with his eyes.

Li Min understood, cleared his throat and said, "I want a mutton pot, a pot of scented tea, and another beef, and finally some refreshing vegetarian dishes."

The food was average, and the waiter neatly went to the kitchen to order.

Chu Ran glanced at the surrounding environment. The people in the lobby were all ordinary people, talking about interesting things, and did not mention the incident of the official ship falling into the water. He thought that the court would hide this matter, and maybe the matter had not been passed on yet.

If you think about it carefully, it's not right. It's been three days, it's impossible that it hasn't been passed on, and there is no notice posted in the county. If you want to come to the county government, you don't know.

The more she thought about it, the weirder she became, her palms were sweating coldly, the things outside were more complicated than she thought, maybe she couldn't stay here for long, it would be better to take a boat to Qinghe.

Li Min ate very full. The half-grown child ate all the meat on the table, and finally packed snacks to take home.

She was about to leave in a few days, so Chu Ran went to a tailor shop to buy some men's clothes, and bought them for Li Min. She didn't know the size of her grandmother, so she measured a piece of cloth and gave it to her.

After returning to the village, Grandma had already boiled hot water with herbs in the pot. Li Min gave her some snacks and happily talked about what happened today.

Chu Ran in that room returned to the house, put the packed snacks aside, and gently woke Lu Xiang: "You can eat, you have to take a bath."

The corners of Lu Shi's eyes were misty, and when he saw Chu Ran, he sat up propped up, and asked about the outside world, Chu Ran had a lot to say, but he hesitated, and finally said: "Take a bath first, and I will fetch water to come in. "

Chu Ran moved the tubs in, brought in buckets of water, panting, looked at Lu Shi's neat clothes, and said strangely: "You are too serious, I will wipe it, otherwise the water will be cold."

Lu Yi pondered for a while, and said, "Turn your back."

"Okay, hurry up." Chu Ran was obedient, went to get some snacks, ate a few pieces, heard the sound of running water, turned around and saw the white and continuous skin, and the eyelashes trembled.

She pinched a piece of lotus root candy bought today, walked over slowly, and fed the candy into Lu Shi's mouth: "This candy is sweet and easy to make. Let's try it next year."

After listening to her calm voice, Lu Shi took a handkerchief and scrubbed it himself, all his attention was on Chu Ran's body. The water in the tub was brown, presumably because of the herbs.

I scrubbed casually by myself, I couldn't see Chu Ran, and I didn't know where she was looking.

Chu Ran was very serious, chewing candy in his mouth, poking her back with his hand while chewing, watching the water drops fall down, and nothing could be seen below.

As soon as she poked it, Lu Shi turned around, with a blush on the tips of his ears, and said in a low voice, "Don't make trouble."

Chu Ran smiled when she saw the tips of her ears, squeezed her slender fingers, and leaned over: "Lu Xiang is annoyed." He said evil in his mouth, took the handkerchief in her hand, and talked about serious things: " Let's make a boat to go to Qinghe, let Li Min find the boat of an acquaintance."

The hand slipped through the water, and the voice was even more embarrassing. Lu Shi closed his eyes and did not speak again.

The room was quiet, and the sound of the water became even louder. Lu Shi couldn't bear it, and held her hand: "Okay, it's time."

Holding her hand, rubbing her fingertips on her wrist, the veil sank to the bottom of the tub, making it invisible.Chu Ran followed the handkerchief with his eyes, and suddenly saw the scene in the water. The skin that was caught began to itch, and itched all the way to his heart.

The handkerchief fell off and was about to be fished, but Chu Ran couldn't see it, and whispered: "It's too deep, I can't get it.

Chu Ran looked calm, his trembling eyelashes betrayed her, Lu Shi's heart was burning, and he couldn't make a movement of bending down in front of her, let Chu Ran take it, it was even more impossible.

She finally flickered: "You go out."

"But I haven't wiped it yet." Chu Ran protested.

Lu Yi was slightly annoyed: "I will do it myself."

After a stalemate for a while, Chu Ran walked out of the house reluctantly, found a place to sit down, and called Li Min: "Do you know which merchant ship is reliable? I want to go to Qinghe to find relatives."

Li Min spent a lot of time running on the river, so he knew more about these things, and being young, it was easier to inquire about things.In the past few days, Chu Ran has also found that he has acted fiercely, and he was able to hunt rabbits last night. Such ability is not bad.

It's a pity that he came from a poor background.

She had a lot of thoughts, but Li Min couldn't figure it out, so he scratched his head: "Then I'll go to the ferry tomorrow to have a look."

"Okay." After Chu Ran instructed a few words, Lu Shi had already washed, and she carried out buckets of water.

Lu Shi was dizzy from the potion, rubbed his forehead, and lay down on the couch feeling weak. After Chu Ran took out the water, he washed his clothes and dried them. It was dark.

I ate rabbit for dinner. Due to Lu Shi's illness, the rabbit meat was not roasted any more. It was stewed, which was very nourishing.

The village is used to going to bed early, and they all go to bed when it gets dark. Chu Ran feels extremely peaceful in her heart. Nothing bad happened in that nightmare. Even if they are in prison now, there is a way to solve it.

The hesitation and bewilderment when he didn't wake up, and he became more and more in tune with Lu Shi's heart, not as strange as in the dream, these are all good things.

The situation at the grandfather's place is also getting better and better. The private soldiers are going on. As long as the family has strong soldiers, they are not afraid of anything. If they belong to them, they will still belong to them. The fear during the day has also dissipated a lot.

After getting on the bed, Lu Shi put his arms around her, rubbing her ears and calling her name.Chu Ran didn't reject her in her heart, she was at peace in her heart, she hugged her neck instead, with spring in her brows and eyes, taking advantage of the inhumanity: "I think the county office is too quiet, I'm afraid it's wrong."

As the two got closer, the warmth from Chu Ran's body transferred to Lu Shi's body, and she moved her lips to enclose the corners of her soft lips.

The dark place is even more affectionate, and nothing can be seen clearly, leaving only each other's temperature and patient breathing.

When they parted, the sound of breathing lingered in their ears.

Chu Ran hugged her hand tightly, rubbed his ears and temples, and leaned into her ear: "Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang."

"Well, listen to you, go to Qinghe." Lu Shi's voice was as soft as spring water, which was extremely confusing in the dark.

Chu Ran was tickled by her, and she moved impatiently as she patted the hand on her back.

The two pressed their foreheads together and hugged each other tightly. Lu Shi worried: "How are you, your back hurts?"

Chu Ran responded softly, buried her in her arms, and let out a soft breath.Lu Shi didn't know how her injury was, so he didn't dare to touch her anymore, and we'll talk about it tomorrow.

After a good night's sleep, when she woke up the next day, Chu Ran had disappeared.

She said yesterday that she would go find a boat to leave, Lu Shi was a little worried, but he didn't know where she had gone. After asking Grandma, she found out that she went out with Li Min.

There is no other way but to quietly
