After eating the nuts and resting for a while, Zhan Zhaocai and Yang Jian set off on the road. Zhan Zhao found that although the "second brother" ate very little, he was full of energy. After walking the winding mountain road for half a day, he was not at all tired. No, not even the wide-sleeved black silk shirt was wrinkled.

Yang Jian slowed down, seeming to have noticed Zhan Zhao's doubts, and said lightly, "I've walked through this kind of mountains and forests countless times since I was young, and I can't get lost even with my eyes closed. According to our current pace, it's about Hei Tian." You can go to this small village at the foot of Huashan Mountain before now, it seems that your route should also pass through that village, although it is small, there are still a few families, so let’s stop there at night.”

Zhan Zhao said: "I know, that village seems to be called Ping'an Village, but it took me two or three days to chase there before I arrived at the second brother's residence."

Yang Jian sighed slightly: "Everyone in the world yearns for peace, and there are Ping'an Villages everywhere. It's such a tacky and realistic name."

Zhan Zhao seemed to be emotionally aroused by him, and remained silent.

Yang Jian laughed at himself, changed the subject, and said, "You are chasing the suspect in a winding path, where is the direct path I showed you? Of course, it will take more time."

Zhan Zhao showed his face and said, "Yeah, at that time, I just kept my head down and ran around, so I didn't care about the way I walked."

The two talked about some light-hearted topics again, and the mountains and forests were slowly left behind. The faint sunset glow in the west was reflected, and people gradually began to walk on the road, and Ping'an Village was already in sight.

After finding a family, the hospitable host immediately settled down and rested, and was busy making meals to greet him. Zhan Zhao was moved by this simplicity, and the wounds on his body did not feel painful.When the night came up, Yang Jian helped Zhan Zhao take the medicine again, but Zhan Zhao turned around and couldn't find Yang Jian.

Turning around the backyard, he called out "Second Brother", and faintly heard someone answering, the voice was not loud but clear.

Zhan Zhao looked up and saw Yang Jian leaning steadily on the roof of the bamboo building where he lived. Because he was wearing black clothes, he was almost hidden in the night, with only a faint shadow floating in the moonlight.

Zhan Zhao looked around, the bamboo building was erected according to the mountain, and the people in the mountain were afraid of any insects and snakes invading the bamboo building, so Zhan Zhao wondered how the second brother got up?

Thinking about it, he suddenly became competitive, and he got up lightly on his feet. When his strength was exhausted, he raised his hand and hooked on a bump that he had long been optimistic about, turned over and jumped again, and the two ups and downs also reached the roof. There was no sound on the slippery roof of bamboo tiles and grass.

Yang Jian sighed softly: "It's so easy."

Zhan Zhao said mischievously, "How does it compare to the second brother?"

Yang Jian laughed to avoid the direct topic, and said, "Of course you are. Nanxia's Swallow Flying is famous all over the world, and his performance in front of the imperial court is like a civet cat. How dare I compare light skills with you."

Zhan Zhao slowly sat down, side by side with Yang Jian, and said with a smile, "Second brother is just teasing me, I think second brother is the one who is really hiding something, when will second brother show a hand to open Zhan Zhao's eyes."

Yang Jian half-raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the night. The bright stars in the light and breezy night could not take away the brilliance of the moon. I wondered whether the people in the moon were lonely or not.Yang Jian was in a daze, and didn't hear what Zhan Zhao said.

Zhan Zhao followed Yang Jian's gaze on the bright moon, and said softly, "Today is the fifteenth day of June, the moon is so round, and it's been almost a month since I came out this time, Lord Bao and the others don't know how to be anxious What..." He said, with a trace of emotion and longing in his tone.

Yang Jian heard it clearly this time, turned his head slightly to look at Zhan Zhao, saw that his expression was peaceful and his eyes were hazy, the soft lines of his face were drawn into a faint halo by the moonlight, and his whole body was covered in the moonlight like a statue of water jade.

Yang Jian suddenly felt that Zhan Zhao and the moonlight were so harmonious.

After a moment of silence, Yang Jian saw that Zhan Zhao's expression was vaguely yearning, and he couldn't help asking casually, "Has Brother Zhan married?"

Zhan Zhao's face turned red: "Not yet."

Yang Jian said: "Then do you have a sweetheart? Tell me which girl it is from."

Zhan Zhao became more and more shy, murmured, and said, "Actually, I got engaged to Ding Yuehua, the sister of Ding's Shuangxia, last year. It's just that I'm so busy with work that I can't take time off to start a family. I feel wronged."

Yang Jian said: "Miss Ding, I seem to have heard that it is the sons and daughters of the Jianghu who don't pay attention to those complicated etiquettes. Since they have already been engaged, they can spend three or two days to get the marriage done. They are all Jianghu people." Don't children have to have three matchmakers and six hires to drink in-laws' wine?"

Zhan Zhao sighed softly: "Actually, I and the Ding Shuangxia are good friends, and my mother is very happy with this marriage, so I decided to settle it. I don't need to worry about the specific arrangements, but there are always cases on hand, and I really haven't poured them out. Time has come, and besides, it takes more than a month to go out to handle cases like this all the year round, how can we let the bride stay alone in the vacant room as soon as she walks through the door." Zhan Zhao said with a faint sigh of embarrassment, and inadvertently frowned He felt a bit sad, but soon put his head down with a smile to cover up the past.

Although he concealed it very well, he did not escape Yang Jian's eyes.Yang Jian's heart moved slightly, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just smiled lightly on the topic: "Your Mr. Bao is too impersonal. Could it be that Kaifeng Mansion has no tolerance for handling cases besides you? The real dragon emperor here is too stingy, and he didn't even provide the Kaifeng mansion with all the manpower."

Zhan Zhao hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with the emperor or Mr. Bao, and the other people in the mansion have never been idle. I can only say that I asked for it myself. After finishing these big cases at hand, it will be fine." It would be better if you can take a rest for a while before doing your own business, otherwise you will always worry about it."

Yang Jian's smile was a little lazy, and he said: "It turned out that you wanted it yourself, so I have to say that you are born to work hard.

Zhan Zhao recognized it with a smile. Seeing Yang Jian turned over and lying flat on the eaves with his arms around his head, looking at the round moon in the sky with a pair of bottomless eyes, a little absent-minded, he couldn't help asking: "Second brother should have a sister-in-law too, can you rest assured that your sister-in-law is alone at home when you go out?"

Yang Jian's expression froze slightly, and he said lightly: "There used to be, but it's long gone."

Zhan Zhao realized his gaffe, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."

Yang Jian said: "Why do you have to apologize? I still understand the truth that those who don't know are not guilty. Ordinary people at my age would not have children around their knees long ago. It's just that some loves may have been beautiful at the beginning, but after a long time, they will be beautiful." If that's the case, it's better for the two of them to stay together and torture each other for years and years, and let each other go to find their own happiness."

Zhan Zhao guessed that Yang Jian might have a sad affair, and since he didn't mention it, he stopped talking, and a moment of silence spread between the two of them again.

Silent but not dull.

There seems to be an invisible emotional tacit understanding, the breeze blowing by the ear, the nameless insects whispering in the summer night, the villagers who sleep late gathering together to laugh and gossip, and the shadow of the moon looming among the clouds...

They all silently infected Yang Jian and Zhan Zhao.

Unknowingly, the moon rises to the sky.

Yang Jian and Zhan Zhao sighed at the same time: "It's time to have a glass of good wine." After finishing speaking, the two couldn't help looking at each other and smiling.

Zhan Zhao said: "I have a friend who likes to go to the roof to drink on such a moonlit night. When I was in Kaifeng, he would come to me for a drink almost every night. He has a lot of alcohol, and I can't drink him. I had no choice but to secretly look for an opportunity to slip away and be scolded by him the next day."

Yang Jian said: "It is also a great blessing in life to have a friend who drags you out to drink every night."

Zhan Zhao said: "If there is a chance, I will introduce you to him. He is not dull and boring like me. He is a very lively and enthusiastic person. Second brother will definitely like him.

Yang Jian didn't seem too enthusiastic about making friends, so he just nodded slightly.Zhan Zhao guessed that Yang Jian was an extremely arrogant person, with superb martial arts and a good knowledge of astronomy and geography, he would disdain to associate with ordinary people, so he didn't insist.But Yang Jian suddenly smiled and said: "It is enough to have such a close friend in life. I guess he must be worried that you haven't heard from you for so long. Maybe we can see him as soon as we leave the mountain. You don't need to worry about it." I introduced."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and felt that Bai Yutang hadn't been informed of his whereabouts this time. According to the temperament of that white mouse, he would probably make trouble in the Kaifeng Mansion for a while, but I'm afraid he didn't have the patience to wait for him for such a long time. .Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao couldn't help shaking his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to touch him, he is the most impatient waiting for others."

Yang Jian smiled nonchalantly, and said, "Why don't you make a bet? I bet he will be the first acquaintance we meet when we leave the mountain."

Zhan Zhao also became interested, and asked, "Okay, I just don't know what kind of lottery we are betting on?"

Yang Jian propped himself up on his arms, looked at Zhan Zhao, under the moonlight Zhan Zhao looked a little eager to try, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Since I started the bet first, then the prize is up to you, you can bet on anything you want , there is nothing in this world that I cannot buy."

Zhan Zhao didn't think Yang Jian's tone was exaggerated, but felt that everything Yang Jian said should be taken for granted.Turning his head to think for a while, Zhan Zhao said: "Second brother is so confident that Zhan Zhao doesn't know what to gamble on. Ordinary gold, silver and jewelry are too vulgar. How about this? Just listen to Winner's orders for the whole day, no matter what kind of request the other party has during this day, you must do it."

At the beginning, Yang Jian was just joking and didn't take it seriously, but when he heard Zhan Zhao say this, he really became interested, and said with a smile, "Yo, Brother Zhan is here to make things difficult for me."

Zhan Zhao bowed his head a little shyly, and thought to himself: "This is not a problem, if I win, I will definitely ask my second brother for the healing prescription, and the healing prescription is probably passed down from my ancestors." Well, usually you won't show it to others, if it's the lottery you won, the second brother won't refuse it, right?"

Thinking this way in his heart, Zhan Zhao retorted: "Where, the second brother said so much, I'm afraid I'm the one who loses, I just hope that the second brother doesn't come to embarrass me when the time comes."

My mind turned, but I thought that if Yang Jian wins, then I will serve him seriously for a whole day, even if there are really any difficulties, I just try my best, even if it is so, I am afraid that I will not be able to repay Yang Jian for his love. The grace of saving lives.

Yang Jian raised his eyebrows lightly, he could see all of Zhan Zhao's thoughts, and sighed softly in his heart: "He obviously feels his own unique power, and he can clearly make higher demands, but he is only thinking about the people next to him, such a pure and innocent person The child himself is embarrassed to win him, but unfortunately, I, Yang Jian, have never lost all the bets in the world..."
