Tongshu with Mei

The moment I was ups and downs in the water, the water was too cold, and my whole body was in pain like a knife, and gradually became numb, the pain was so numb.

If you want to come this time, you will really die.But this time, I really don't want to die either.

In fact, I know how to swim. I have followed His Majesty the late emperor for more than half a year, and I have been going around in this water town. There are rivers and ditches on all sides. If I don't learn how to swim, how can I escape with His Majesty in so many critical moments? What about a life?

But in this icy river, it seems that it is useless to know the water. People's hands and feet will be numb, and they will not be able to use their strength at all.I didn't have much strength at first, so I could only hold on to the pillow ice sword that had been with me for more than ten years, and drifted with the tide with my breath held.This is what an old fisherman told me, when you can’t use your strength, hold your breath, don’t waste your energy, and catch the opportunity when you have the chance, maybe you can survive.

There were a few boats passing by, but unfortunately they were all too far away from me, and I couldn't make it through. There are very few boats in the river in this winter. No matter how lucky I am, it is impossible to find a boat quickly.But involuntarily following the waves like this, it's really getting colder and colder, what should I do?Am I really going to die?

I felt that my consciousness was not very clear, but I saw a black shadow appearing in front of me in a daze. Could it be that God really blessed me and sent me a boat?Or is it because I am the fate of the lone star of Tiansha, and even the heavens don't want to accept me?

I stretched my head desperately to see that it was really a boat, although it was not very big.I quickly shouted: "Help me!"

I yelled several times in a row, but no one paid any attention to me. My voice must be too low, but I can't make a louder voice.No, I have to find a way to get there, the boat is going upstream, and I am going downstream, if I just miss it like this, maybe I will really be doomed.

I worked hard, the belief of wanting to live supported me, I had to work hard, I tried my best to get closer to that side, I tried my best to draw out the pillow ice sword quickly, then aimed at the ship, stabbed the sword on the wooden ship's side, Hanging on the boat like this, I said: "I don't want to die, save me!"

This time there was someone, a man's voice said: "There is a man in the water, Xiao Shanzi, come and help!"

I was dragged onto the boat just like that, I didn’t forget to pull out my ice pillow sword, I couldn’t see what the man looked like, so I just supported and handed the ice pillow sword over: “How much can this sword sell for?” A piece of money, I will give it to you, and help me."

I fell asleep, and suddenly felt warm on my body, and then a darkness surrounded me, and it seemed that I could hear a woman's voice shouting in the darkness: "What's wrong with this baby? Why do you still have a few wounds on your body?" Son? Let’s get to the shore first, and go get some wound medicine. Xiao Shanzi, hurry up and get ginger soup!”

It seemed as if I had been sinking and floating in the water for a long time, and I finally woke up. I was sure that I was still on the boat, not in the underworld, so I dared to look around.

I saw that young man named Xiaoshanzi, who was close to me, and smiled at me. I have never looked at other flowers except the plum blossom before, but his smile must be the same as that of flowers. nice.

He said, "You have had a fever for several days. But just now my mother came to see you and said that your fever has subsided, and you are almost on the mend."

I wanted to move my hands and feet, but I still felt sore and weak, so I stopped. Suddenly I remembered something, and said: "A fortune teller once told me that I always beat others. You'd better sit still." farther away."

I saw him stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand, and then he said: "What are you talking about? What's wrong? I'll ask my mother." He got up and ran out of the cabin.

Then his mother entered the cabin, and her loud voice buzzed in the small cabin: "What a good life, it's so tight! Those rich and powerful people are afraid, and the people of our poor families, God Ghosts don’t come to provoke us, I’m afraid you’ll be poor, and you’re afraid of being restrained? Don’t be afraid. You’re finally awake. I’ve cooked glutinous rice porridge for you. Get up and eat something? Xiao Shanzi Come and help your brother."

I stared at them blankly, speechless.

I have nowhere to go, just follow this family, upstream.The family's surname is Xie, and their family lives in Wushan County.Xiaoshanzi also has an older sister, who happened to be spotted by a passing merchant three years ago, begged to be a second bedroom, and brought to Dangtu.Xie Niang was always worried about her daughter, for fear that she would have a bad life after marrying far away. The family saved up enough money, rented a boat, and traveled thousands of miles to see their daughter.This is nothing more than to watch and go home.

I have been sick for so many days, and by the time I knew it, the boat had already arrived near Anqing, Ezhou.I take medicine and see a doctor every day, and I want to spend a lot of money on them, but I am already penniless.So when I heard that I was in Anqing, I asked them to sell the Pillow Ice Sword, but Xie Niang refused, and only said that I should keep my things.

I insisted on selling it, and I had my own plan in mind, so that if someone unfortunately came to look for it, I would only look for it near Anqing, and never go to Wushan County.I can no longer be found by anyone, Xie Niang's family is my savior, I don't care if I live or die, but I absolutely cannot implicate them.

I firmly told Xie Niang that if I didn't sell the sword, I would rather hold the sword and jump into the water.Xie Niang couldn't hold me back, so she had to yell at Uncle Xie to take the sword to Anqing City and sell it for 300 taels of silver.

They still insisted on not wanting my money, so I had no choice but to hold it by myself, and sailed against the current with them all the way to a small village at the foot of Wujin Mountain in Muyu Town.

After arriving here, people in the mountains are busy, and they can't be idle all year round. In winter, they don't forget to go to the mountains to catch foxes and rabbits.I don't know how to do anything, and my injury hasn't healed, so I can only stand by and watch, seeing that although his family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, they really don't have extra spare money. I just feel that I have dragged the family down.

Fortunately, it seems that the sky has really begun to take care of me. There is a wine workshop in Longqiuping, originally opened by a wealthy family nearby, and there is a wine shop of them outside the mountain.His son had a promising future in other places, and he wanted to take him to enjoy the blessings, so he wanted to sell the wine workshop and restaurant.When I heard about it, I ran over in a hurry, spent 150 taels of silver, and bought these two things together.

After I put it down, I found out that I don’t know how to make wine. What should I do after I put it down?I had no choice but to go to Uncle Xie and the others to discuss it.When Uncle Xie heard this, he gave me a look and said that I was overpriced, and that the things in the mountains were not so valuable.If Xie Niang is allowed to go, at least 20 taels of silver can be cut off.He also said that making wine is not a worry, but he had learned it for a while before, but he just didn't have the money to open a workshop, so he can teach me later.I'm busy in summer, so I can call over the two guys who helped out in the workshop.

Xie Niang liked that restaurant, so I let them run it, and their family lived there at night.I'm learning wine making here at the wine workshop.In fact, it is really not difficult to learn. After Uncle Xie's guidance, it is said that the taste of wine is better than before.

The business in the restaurant is getting better, and I am also happy. Xie Niang has been very worried about Xiao Shanzi's future marriage. I heard that she always complained to Uncle Xie behind his back, so I tried my best to lead people to work and wanted to help him Save up the cost of marrying a wife.

Life goes on like this, and it seems to be good.My illness and injury were gradually recovering, Xie Niang asked Xiaoshanzi to drag me down the mountain to play in the wine shop, saying that I always hide from people and I need to gain some popularity.But how dare I see more people?I'm afraid that if the news leaks out, this life will be difficult again.But there is no way to tell Xie Niang about this, so I have to sit in the restaurant from time to time and sort out the accounts for them.None of the family of three knows how to keep accounts. Uncle Xie always pretends to sit there, but his accounts are in a mess, and I can't see them very well.

Someone asked me where I was from, and Xie Niang said that I was Xiao Shanzi's cousin, who had no parents at home, so she followed them back.I also heard Xie Niang complaining to Uncle Xie in private, if she knew that she would meet me, she would not let her marry so far, and marry me directly, it would save trouble and worry.She also planned to arrange a good marriage for me, but she said she couldn't wrong me, I don't know who can be worthy of me among the girls from all over the world.I want to laugh, am I that good?If she knew what happened to me, she wouldn't be able to say it again.

On this day, I was dragged into the restaurant again. There were many customers. Some people who came back from the county were discussing that there is a large piece of land in Ezhou in the east, and there are several copper mines. It's a fief.But this His Highness Duke Huai, who is said to be favored by the Holy One, must be reluctant to let him come to the fief.

His Royal Highness Duke Huai, his name is Yang Ye.

I stayed there when I heard it, the name hit my heart, it hurts a lot.

It turns out that I still miss him, I always miss him, but he... seems to be doing well, it seems that I don't need to think about it in the future.

My chest feels a little stuffy, he lives high in the temple and enjoys all the glory; I am far away from the rivers and lakes, just trying to survive, the two of us will end up here after all in this life.

I stopped listening and walked away, returning to the workshop in the mountains.

But in the winter of this year, when it was snowing, he finally found him. He was carrying my pillow ice sword. He stood at the bottom of the slope and looked at me like that. I saw the tears in his eyes, and I was stunned. I do not know what to do.

He is not leaving here, how many days is he planning to stay?Will there be someone following him?Will those people go on a killing spree?My injury last year has not completely healed, I often can't stop coughing, remembering that time I was forced to dive, I feel like falling into an ice cave, but what should I do now?

I'm worried, I feel that my destiny has never overcome him, it has always been him who has always overcome me, always!

I had no choice but to hide in the house first, feeling flustered and not knowing what to do.
