Unspeakable and strange

He persuaded the little wooden man to come out of the room. For the next day, he stayed by Yanning's bed, waiting for him to wake up.

The waiting time was always too long, and there was nothing to do. He looked at Yan Ning who was deeply asleep, and inadvertently remembered the scene when he first saw him.

The man was still young, with a thin body crawling on the smoky mountain road, the red sun and loess, and the sky was full of magnificent clouds.He climbed up the mountain path with three steps and kowtow, and occasionally raised his palm-sized face to look at the distant mountain top.That face was pale and beautiful, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his two slender eyebrows were wrinkled, revealing an unyielding stubbornness.

I hadn't seen a stranger for a long time, so I was curious, so I stood on the mountain steps two steps higher than him and asked him what he was doing.

The man stared at him blankly, then kowtowed three times, and when he raised his head again, the blood dripping from his forehead crawled ferociously across that beautiful face and dripped down his chin.He said that he begged the immortals to come down the mountain and help save the state of Xi. If his wish is fulfilled, ten thousand deaths will be hard to repay, and he will follow his seat for the rest of his life to repay the grace of heaven.

I saw that his face was covered with blood, only one pair of eyes was extremely bright and firm, and his thin spine was trembling under the sweat-soaked clothes. I had never thought of going down the mountain, but I taught this look to lead to mundane thoughts.

"But I'm not a fairy, I just know some spells." In case he misunderstood, I still need to explain carefully.

The man's pale and chapped lips moved, and he lowered his head, respectfully, "Huaijin said, teach me to look for it on Qingfeng Mountain, and the No. 1 I saw was the immortal who could save my father. The chief inspector is a priest who understands the three realms, and he never speaks falsely and cannot make mistakes."

I smiled lightly to myself, "It turns out that you believe what others say, and that's so easy to deceive."

That's it, since he spoke with certainty, he pushed the boat along the way.

Although he helped him save King Xi, it was because this person's lifespan was not over, and someone who knew a little bit about Qi training and health preservation would be able to take advantage of it. Kowtow ten thousand worship, but a little guilty.

Later, his father died and was unable to return to heaven, and I felt sorry for him who lost his father when he was young, and he had no brothers around him, and he was despised.Tigers and wolves are surrounded by aristocratic families in the court, and the iron cavalry of the Di Kingdom outside the border are watching, so they still don't leave, take a false job, stay by his side, solve his problems, occasionally make him laugh, but also feel a little bit of the fun of the world .

But I asked for divination in private, no matter how many times I tried, the crape myrtle star fell in Xi State, a sign of great evil, and the king of Di State Yu Wenzhi was the reincarnation of the real dragon, and the fate returned.

The way of heaven is orthodox, dare not violate it, and it cannot be turned around by human power.

No matter how reluctant he is, he can only watch Xi Guo step by step towards his inevitable destiny.

Yan Ning suffered too much in his last life, and he shouldered the heavy responsibility of fate like mountains and seas. The expectations of others fell on his shoulders, internal and external troubles, until the isolated city defended itself and burned in the hall, he never lived for himself.

Reborn in this life, without the entanglement of the past, it is appropriate to live a carefree and happy life.

Qin Hongfeng lowered his eyes and thought, feeling very soft in his heart.

While thinking about it, Yan Ning had already woken up and was looking at him without blinking,

Qin Hongfeng helped him sit up, and said in a gentle voice, "I've given you the antidote, but the toxicity is too deep, and you need to observe it for a few days, and your life is safe."

Yan Ning raised her sleeves and looked, and sure enough, the black line that grew along with the meridians had disappeared.He made up his mind, was very grateful, and then worried about Qin Hongfeng's personal affairs, "Did you get the answer you wanted?"

Qin Hongfeng was puzzled all of a sudden, and after he realized it, he smiled slightly. He nodded, and looked at Yan Ning with a gentler look in his eyes.

Yan Ning was startled by this look, his heart was flustered, and he stumbled and asked him what the answer was?It seemed that he had sensed something faintly, but he didn't dare to believe it.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Qin Hongfeng explained slowly, "If it's really an ordinary lonely ghost, why did Hu Feihuan pick you to my side alone? If he really has the ability to shape and change his appearance Wouldn't it be easier for me to know my own appearance? He knows me a lot, and is more cunning than you, so of course he is less likely to show his feet."

Yan Ning also felt that it made sense after hearing it. He had also thought about why Hu Feihuan always scolded himself for being stupid, but he never thought about replacing it with someone else.

"It is he who knows that you are Yan Ning himself. This appearance is your true self. How can there be two people who are so similar in this world? You are naturally him, and he is naturally you."

Qin Hongfeng gently tidied Yan Ning's messy hair behind her ears, and rubbed the side of her face with warm fingertips, "It's just that your soul is incomplete, so Xuanguang mirror can't see through your past life, so you can't eat mortal things , this body can't last long, but it's very rare for you to come back."

Yan Ning was at a loss, "But I don't have any memory of those things."

"It's okay." Qin Hongfeng shook his head calmly, "I will help you find it."

After speaking, he took Yan Ning's hand again, looked at him, "I want to take you to a place."

Looking at those eyes, Yan Ning was in a daze for a moment, and nodded without thinking.

He and Yanning packed their bags and got up, leaving Shao'an and Shaobai to take care of the cottage, and secretly asked Shaobai to take care of the pigeon house and continue to communicate with the Quartet.

The two dressed lightly and went down the mountain all the way to the south.

When we arrived in Guazhou, it was the late spring season, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River was growing, and there were mixed peanut trees.

At the ferry crossing Huayinliang chartered a boat, a Wupeng boat in the south of the Yangtze River, drifting all the way, crossing the Songxi River, bypassing a field of white reeds, the cabin was hot with wine, the rain curtain hung upside down outside, the water and the sky were the same color, Jiangping is like a mirror, hazy and hazy, and the scenery is worthy of painting.The boatman put on a coir raincoat and punted the boat, sang Jiangnan slang, and sold them two fat crabs with ginger and rice vinegar. It was a rare pleasure.

Yan Ning watched Qin Hongfeng manipulate the hard-shelled thing in a daze, and put it on the stove to steam until the crab shell was red, steamed, and the air was filled with the aroma of rice vinegar.

Qin Hongfeng knew that he couldn't taste it, so he poured him a glass of Jiangyin rice wine. It was fragrant and fragrant, and the wine smelled like insects with long legs that burrowed into his nasal cavity. Yan Ning swallowed and looked at Qin Hongfeng with some resentment.

Qin Hongfeng laughed, took a sip of the wine, and said, "You didn't like to drink before, and you said drinking was a mistake. The wine tastes spicy and doesn't taste good. But that's an excuse. It's because you don't hold enough alcohol, and you get drunk after drinking two glasses." , when you get drunk, you talk nonsense, but this kind of rice wine, you are willing to drink two sips, saying that the taste is sweet, like the preserved fruit that the concubine used to love, "

Yan Ning felt a little disappointed, "But I don't even know what it tastes like."

Qin Hongfeng frowned, and the corners of his eyes were a little red. He leaned forward, leaned his arms on the small table, leaned towards Yan Ning, and moved the wine glass to him, "This is made of glutinous rice. A little sweet-scented osmanthus will be added, the taste is sweet and slightly sour, and it is very thick. When the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, take some and dry it in the yard, wash the glutinous rice and drain it, and steam it in a steamer..."

Yan Ning was stunned when he heard it, as if he could really see the rice wine fermented one by one, and finally condensed into amber and bright wine, which was swaying in the celadon bowl, smelling it, the fragrance was fragrant, tasting it, the teeth and cheeks were left. Fragrant, fragrant and natural.

Qin Hongfeng spoke softly, "If you can't taste it, I'll taste it for you, and then I'll talk to you. Then when your soul is fully recovered, we'll come here again to drink and eat crabs, and you will surely enjoy it."

Seeing how determined he was, Yan Ning couldn't help smiling, the smile was very childish, "You said it, so it's settled."

The two sat for a while, the wind and rain did not decrease but increased, and the rain mixed with the smell of mud occasionally blew open the cotton curtain and poured in. Qin Hongfeng heated up a pot of wine and brought it outside the cabin to warm up the boatman, and accompanied him He chatted about the customs of the place.After returning to the cabin, I made up a few short stories to tell Yan Ning to pass the time. There are many rumors about ghosts and ghosts, but they are all birds and beasts with righteousness and ghosts with affection.

At night, it was still rainy and dark, and the head was resting on the waves, and the bell of an unknown temple outside rang, one after another, with a long aftertaste, mixed with the sound of rain.Although the planks of the boat were still swaying, his heart was strangely stable, as if he had returned home after many years of rebellion, dreaming of Gusu.

After several days of bumps, they got off the boat and arrived at their destination.
