joy town gl

On the night of the great summer heat, the Huanxi Inn turned off the lights and closed, but the Hong family's old house was brightly lit with candles, and there was a constant flow of people coming and going.

"Hurry up, come this way." Wang Qi hurriedly ran into the courtyard, half-arming and half-dragging an old woman.In the inner courtyard, Hong Mingzhao and Lu Tang were waiting at the door. The two of them looked in for a while, and then ran to the courtyard door to look out. It was already hot today, and they were more like crabs falling into a hot water pot. Nor should I be at ease.

"Hey, Granny Yu, you can count on it." Yu Hanshi squatted at the door, and when he saw the two coming in, he quickly got up and went in to welcome them together.

"Here, come, I'll rush here after hearing the letter." Granny Yu is the midwife in the town, and Hong Xi'er was delivered by her hands. "Are the hot water scissors ready?"

"It's ready, Sanniang and the others are already inside, and you're just getting old."

"Come on." Granny Yu entered the door and turned around to block the door, saying to Hong Mingzhao who was still following her, "Don't worry, you'll be safe."

In the evening, Yang Xiyun, the eldest sister-in-law of the Hong family, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Knowing that she might be about to give birth, she hurriedly asked her husband to find someone.There are many female relatives in the family, and his younger sister is good at medicine. At first, Hong Mingzhao was not too worried, but after Sanniang and Lingchu went in, Yang Xiyun's screams became louder, and he panicked. It's easy to wait until Mrs. Wen arrives, but the shouting inside has no tendency to weaken at all, and it sounds even more tragic than when the first-born Qing was born.

"Brother, come over and sit for a while." Tang sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with Wang Qihan, watching Hong Mingzhao wandering around the courtyard for a long time, and couldn't help but comfort him.

"Oh! I don't know what's going on." After Hong Mingzhao sat down, Lu Tang got up together: "When you are still busy after sister-in-law gives birth, you should rest for a while, and I will go to the back kitchen to cook porridge and soup."

"Thank you, brother Tang."

"What are the family talking about?"

From the middle of the night to the dawn of this tossing, Lu Tangyi's soup and water had already been simmered on a low fire, and Yang Xiyun hadn't been born yet, so everyone was a little panicked.

"Daddy." Xiao Qing'er was entrusted to Yuan Yi to take care of her. She seemed to sense something when she woke up in the morning, and hurried to look for her mother, "What's wrong with your mother?"

"Mother gave birth to a younger brother for you. Good boy, go to school first."

"I want to be with my mother." The voice in the room yelled in the middle of the night, and the lack of strength could already be heard. Hong Mingzhao looked at the delivery room, and with this erroneous effort, Xiao Qinger suddenly broke free from Yuan Yi's hand and ran to the delivery room There was a knock on the door: "Mother, mother, Qing'er is here, and Qing'er is with you." Qing'er spoke in a childish voice, but was exceptionally loud and firm, and the shouts in the room that had been fading suddenly increased again.

Hong Mingzhao hurried over to hold his daughter in his arms and covered her ears. Tang Yi stood beside Yuan Yi, and the two looked at each other, "It's really not easy for a woman to have a baby."

Yuan Yi didn't answer, his eyelids drooped and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Wow!" At this moment, there was a cry in the room, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Hong Mingzhao collapsed and sat on the ground. Hearing the cry, Qing'er saw her father sitting down again, and she also cried along with her.

"Wow! Wow!" The father and daughter hugged their heads outside the door, but the crying inside became louder and louder. Wang Qi listened carefully for a while, "Why do I feel that there are two children crying?"

"Isn't that Qing'er crying there, you are confused." Han Shi fanned the wind with his hands, with a smile on his face.

"That's not right." When she said this, Lu Tang listened carefully, "Qing'er, don't cry yet." Qing'er's mouth was covered, and she burped, but she opened her eyes wide and did not cry. "It's really two cries, listen to them, one after another."

Hong Mingzhao immediately got up from the ground and lay down on the door, "Really, two children!"

After a while, the door finally opened, and Granny Yu and Lingchu walked out with a doll in their hands. "Congratulations, the Hong family has a new baby, and the dragon and the phoenix bring good luck." Granny Yu said auspicious words, and Hong Mingzhao was already so happy that he didn't know what to do, and everyone gathered around him at this time. "Sister, are you holding a boy or a girl?"

"This is the younger sister, the mother-in-law is holding the elder brother."

Hong Mingzhao teased his younger son and asked, "How is my wife?"

"Madam passed out from exhaustion, is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, I made the fish porridge and brown sugar water according to the instructions." As soon as Lu Tang said that, he ran to the kitchen, and soon a tray was brought to the delivery room.

"This brother is confused, how can a man enter the delivery room?" Granny Yu hurriedly stopped her, she looked back, her head was a little confused, "Girl, you send it in."

"Ah? Good." Yuan Yi was still a little flustered when he took the tray, and was even more frightened by the scene in front of him when he entered.She is also someone who has seen the mountain of blood and swords. She did not expect that a woman giving birth can make people feel palpitating like this. "Third Niang?"

At this time, Hong Xi'er's forehead and hair were already wet with sweat, her whole face was white, and she was sitting by the bed cleaning up.Seeing Yuan Yi coming in with things, he waved at them, "Help me help my sister-in-law, and feed her the brown sugar water first." Hong Xi'er was so tired all night that she really didn't have the energy to move anyone.

Yuan Yi put down her things and came to help. Although she didn't understand these things, she still had strength. The two of them cleaned up briefly and began to feed soup to the dying Yang Xiyun.

At this moment, the sun was rising outside, Hong Mingzhao hugged his son Wang Qi and his daughter, Lu Tang saw Qinger standing there alone, and picked her up too, "Look, brother and sister."

The twins in the Hong family spread like wildfire in the town. There is a custom in the Li Dynasty that giving birth to twins is considered unlucky, but giving birth to twins is a sign of good luck and wealth.All of a sudden, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate Hong's family, even busy in front of the inn, all the guests who come and go from the town must say congratulations first.

At night, after the inn closed, Yuan Yi brought Tang Yi to him.

"Hehe, this is both wine and vegetables, what day is it today?"

Yuan Yi smiled lightly, and poured wine into the cup, "Tao Yi, do you like your life now?"

"I like it." Taking a sip of the wine, Tang Yimei said happily: "The business of the inn is booming, and the family is safe and sound. The sister-in-law has now successfully given birth to a pair of babies, and the population is prosperous and lively. "Lu Tangyi, who has been alone for as long as he can remember, never dreamed that there would be such a happy life like today.

Yuan Yi nodded, in this case, he felt at ease.

"Yuan Yi, you and Sister Ruan..." Ruan Shuyue hasn't come for a while, and Lu Tangyi is still thinking about whether to invite someone over for the full moon wine, and he can't avoid seeing each other even if he is awkward.

"I'm leaving."

"what?"

"I received news from Liang Zhong a few days ago that they have settled down in Bingzhou. Now that Master has finished what you told him, we should leave here too." After Yuan Yi finished speaking, he patted the back of Tang Yi's hand, " Seeing that you are living so well now, I feel relieved, and from now on, just be Lu Tangyi with peace of mind."

Although he knew that Yuan Yi would leave sooner or later, it was too soon. "Yuanyi, are you sure you have taken care of everything in Bingzhou Mozhou? It's been less than a year, isn't it too hasty?"

"If it's too late, it will delay things. Don't worry, I've almost gathered up Uncle Liu Wang's old department. I haven't been idle these days. Before Master went to save that girl Zhou, he even went to Huzhou."

"Lu Song?"

"Exactly, I don't know what method he used. It is said that Li Yuandao, the magistrate of Huzhou, died on the way to hunt for bandits because of the bandit rebellion. Now that the new magistrate of Huzhou has not yet arrived, we have already contacted Lu Song. Take advantage of this to clothe your own people."

After hearing this, Lu Tang sighed, "Hey, it's you, Yuan Yi." Now that she's ready, what else can she do besides support? "When are you going to leave?"

Yuan Yi looked at her, "I'll leave after the children are full moon."

When Lu Tang saw her saying this, he hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment, nodded and replied: "Okay, I see."

"I'm going to go to Qingquan Mountain again, you can come with me." Yuan Yi said after drinking the wine in his glass.

It was only then that Tang Yi remembered that she had always been obsessed with Qingquan Mountain, "Yuan Yi, why do you always want to go to this mountain?"

"When I was in the palace, I heard about Qingquan Mountain. Later, when I went on a tour with my father, I met an old Taoist. My father respected him very much and made him a guest of honor." Yuan Yi's eyebrows and eyes softened when he thought of the past. "Qingquan Mountain is not a simple mountain forest. It is said that the mysteries and mysteries in it can contain the aura of purple light and wealth."

Lu Tang thought for a while, "I heard from Xi'er in the past that there is a temple in the bamboo forest in the mountains, and the immortals in the Tao protect the safety of the people everywhere, but is it the same as what you said?"

"The bamboo forest..." Yuan Yi recalled several times of his explorations, "I have never seen a bamboo forest in the mountains."

"You can't ask for it. According to Xi'er, her grandfather once had a chance to see it. It was decades ago. Now few people in the town have seen the Taoist temple." Tang Yi said. Then, I picked up the peanuts on the table and chewed them.

"Tao Yi." Yuan Yi thought for a while, and took the wine glass from Tang's hand.

"Huh? I haven't finished drinking yet."

"Go back and rest now, and accompany me to Qingquan Mountain tomorrow morning."

In the morning of the next day, Yuan Yi took Tang Yi, who was still yawning, to embark on a journey of exploring Qingquan Mountain.The weather today was clear and cloudless, and the sun had just risen when the two of them reached the foot of Qingquan Mountain.

Yuan Yi handed Tang Yi a water bag: "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"It's not sure when we'll find it. Let's hurry up and go down the mountain before sunset." She was the one who stayed overnight on Qingquan Mountain, so she didn't want to come back again.

The two went up the mountain road all the way, until they were halfway up the mountain, Yuan Yi suddenly took out something like a compass from his arms.

"Do you still know Feng Shui?"

Yuan Yi put the compass straight in his palm, and the pointer began to swing. "I've read two books, and I'm a little scratched. This way."

The two headed north all the way in the direction of the pointer, turned around a mountain bend and then changed their course to the west.

"Yuan Yi." After walking for two or three hours, the sun was almost in the middle of the day, Lu Tangyi couldn't move anymore, leaning against a big tree beside him: "Take a break, water bag."

Yuan Yi was carrying a small bag with dry food and snacks in it, and he took it out and handed it to Tang Yi, "Here, eat something."

The two sat under the tree and ate and rested. Lu Tang looked around the surrounding mountains. She had been to Qingquan Mountain many times. s eyes.

"Why do I feel that the trees here are different from the ones I usually see in Qingquan Mountain."

Yuan Yi also looked at the surrounding trees after hearing the words, "Isn't this just an ordinary locust tree?"

"No." Tang got up and took a deep breath, "Did you smell a fragrance?"

Yuan Yi sniffed his nose, "Could it be the Huaiqing unique to Qingquan Mountain?"

"Huaiqing fragrance is clear and strong, but this fragrance is very weak, with a smell..." She said, taking another deep breath, "the smell of green bamboo."

"Green bamboo?" Yuan Yi sniffed, and a thought flashed in his mind, "If it smells like green bamboo..."

"The bamboo forest should be not far away!"

The two hurriedly got up and followed the scent of green bamboo to search for it. Yuan Yi was holding the compass in the back, and the compass turned faster and faster as they walked forward.

"Tao Yi." She hurriedly grabbed Lu Tangyi who was still going forward. The two of them were surprised to see the compass not moving at all, but a cool wind suddenly blew in the valley.What's even more strange is that the wind should blow the fog away, but when the cool wind blows here, the mountains are covered with fog.

"Yuan Yi." Lu Tang immediately went to pull Yuan Yi's hand, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, Yuan Yi put away the compass and took out a dagger from his waist, "Follow me closely."

It is not a good idea to continue walking at this time, but Yuan Yi has an inexplicable intuition that the road ahead must be the one she is looking for.And Tang Yi beside her was supposed to persuade people to move forward, but at this moment she suddenly felt a trance, the forest in front of her seemed to have a kind of attraction, beckoning her to move forward.

The two of them kept walking like this for an unknown amount of time, and the surrounding fog gradually dissipated. Just when they thought they were about to clear away the cloud and fog, their eyes suddenly went dark.

"Tay!"
