Xie Jue smelled the aroma of medicine when he rested. The faint aroma of medicinal materials hit him, and it also took away his sleepiness. He was used to the smell of medicine, and he actually liked the smell of such medicinal materials. He rubbed his groggy eyes, opened the water bag and drank half of the bag of water. Then he stood up and came down. Fang Chuning was boiling water with discarded medicinal materials beside him. Xie Jue asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

"Drink!" Fang Chuning returned with firewood. Seeing that Xie Jue didn't respond, she couldn't help but look back at him. She happened to see Xie Jue raising his eyebrows slightly. Although he didn't say a word, his eyebrows said he didn't believe it. Fang Chuning He said in a frivolous tone, "I really drank it. If you don't believe it, come check it out."

As he spoke, he opened his mouth, waiting for Xie Jue to check. How else could he check? This was clearly teasing. When Fang Chuning saw Xie Jue was stunned, he was also stunned. He quickly closed his mouth and turned around to tease her as if nothing had happened. The fire was burning, and the flames jumped on his face, so hot that his ears burned red.

Is he crazy?

Why would you say such frivolous words? Simply a scoundrel!

The two sat under the tree, both looking at the pot of water in silence. For a long time, Xie Jue asked, "What are you boiling water for?"

"Oh, the water in the bag is almost gone."

"Just add water to the river as you like, it's not that particular."

"Didn't you pack boiled water in your suitcase?" Fang Chuning also discovered carefully that Xie Jue would not drink water directly from the river if he could. He would drink it as soon as he arrived at the inn or where he stayed. Find a way to hold the water, and you will deal with it casually when you are forced to have no other choice.

Xie Jue said, "There are not so many things to pay attention to in the wild. It's time for us to get on our way."

"Row!"

The two of them split up. Fang Chuning packed up the pots and pans, and Xie Jue took the water bag to the river to fill it with water. The water source was getting less and less along the way north, so all the bags were filled with water to avoid lack of water on the way. Xie Jue and Fang Chu Ning Du had lived in the wild and was very experienced. Although there were shadow guards who followed him to take care of everything, it didn't mean that Xie Jue didn't understand anything.

The two of them went north all the way, which was pretty smooth. However, something unexpected happened when they stayed overnight in Shiling Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhongzhou. Shiling Town is a day's journey from Zhongzhou by car and horse. It is the only way to go north from Zhongzhou. The town is not It's not a big place, but it's very lively. The nearby villagers are going to the market in the town, and there are many inns. It's a bad luck for Xie Jue and Fang Chuning to enter the town. There is a wedding ceremony being held in the town, and the head of the household has a white hanging on his house, right in the center of the town. , everyone in the town was taboo, and every household closed their doors. Xie Jue was not very taboo about trivial matters, but Fang Chuning was afraid of bumping into Xie Jue, so she pulled him away from the team carrying the coffin up the mountain. The cries and howls continued, and Paper money was flying all over the sky, the sky was dark and a bit eerie, Fang Chuning got goosebumps. The two chose an inn at the end of the long street. The innkeeper was dark-faced, short and sharp. When he saw Xie Jue and Fang Chuning's attire, he knew they were from a wealthy family. He greeted them diligently into the inn and closed the door.

The lobby of the inn is in full swing, and there are no empty seats. The smell of wine and meat is wafting around. The waiters are busy serving dishes. From time to time, the sound of clinking glasses and shouting can be heard, and the noise is accompanied by the smell of fireworks. When Xie Jue and Fang Chuning entered the inn, everyone turned to look at them, seeming to be concerned and curious. Fang Chuning noticed that there were several men with fierce eyes. They should be men who had been working as escorts all year round, and they were very taboo about doing nothing. They quickly ignored the newcomers Xie Jue and Fang Chuning.

The shopkeeper explained that this was an escort team, and they had just arrived in town, and they had something to do, so they had to close the shop and eat in the hotel. There was only one upper room left in the inn. The shopkeeper asked Xie Jue and Fang Chuning in a dilemma if they would mind. .

Fang Chuning thought for a while, "I want a room in the room and dinner will be delivered to the room!"

"Okay, okay, gentlemen, wait a moment, we'll be here soon!"

Xie Jue and Fang Chuning went upstairs. After closing the door, Fang Chuning said, "I'm afraid it won't be peaceful at night. The escort team looks bad at the visitor."

"Just don't mess with us."

Fang Chuning also nodded. They were staying in the hotel for one night and did not want to cause trouble. Fang Chuning walked to the window and opened it. The wind happened to blow up the paper money and flew up. Outside the window was the long street, and the coffin-carrying team had just passed by.

Fang Chuning was fascinated and couldn't help but ask Xie Jue, "Have you been to my funeral?"

Today's flight back to Shanghai should be very late! see tomorrow
