Tangled

Chapter 87
"Thinking of this picturesque country, I have read hundreds of poems, but I can't find the most similar poems to it."

Mu Chengze followed her line of sight, chuckled twice, and said, "There are so many beautiful things in the world, if you have to come up with poems to match them, I'm afraid you'll be racking your brains."

"Cousin, don't think about these things anymore. Once you have seen these things, they are gone. If today's things are gone, there will be tomorrow's things."

This great river and mountain will not pass today without tomorrow. This picturesque beauty cannot be exhausted even if you spend your whole life.

"When you go back, my cousin can ask Ash to draw on paper what you saw and heard on the road. His drawing skills are very good, and I think he will satisfy you."

With a few words, he added a lot of work to himself. Gu Tingshu gave him a cold look and didn't answer.

Although Shen Qiqi wanted to paint in her heart, she didn't dare to make this request to Gu Tingshu, so she could only decline his proposal with a smile.

"There will be a small town two hours before that, let's rest there then."

Speaking of which, the small town can be considered to be under the jurisdiction of Yunchuan County, but the distance is far away, and there are not many people traveling between the two.

The three of them got up all the way, and they couldn't even meet anyone. After entering the small town, there were only two or three people on the street.

A few people found a restaurant, asked the handyman to lead the horse to feed, and then beckoned Xiao Er to come over.

"Let the cook cook a few special dishes and serve them up. I'll have to hurry."

Xiao Er bent over and said "Okay", turned around and was about to leave, but after hesitating for a while, he turned around and came back.

"If the guest officials are not in such a hurry, it's better to wait until tomorrow morning."

"It's far away from the official road, so you can only take the small road, but it will take more than half a day to get to the next foothold."

"There is Luojiazhuang between the two towns. There was a ghost suddenly there before March, and now it is empty. A few people rode horses and happened to be there at night."

Xiao Er seemed to be terribly frightened, and after speaking in a low voice, he quickly stepped back, looking at his figure, he seemed to be trembling a little.

When they went to the back kitchen, Shen Qiqi poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gu Tingshu, and asked in a low voice, "Cousin, shall we continue our journey?"

Gu Tingshu has been fighting the enemy for more than ten years, his hands are dripping with blood, and his soul is unknown under the knife. If there is really a ghost and a god, he is afraid that he will be torn into countless pieces by the evil ghost. No matter how true it was, he didn't believe it.

"Fear?"

He turned his head sideways, and his little self was clearly reflected in the dark pupils, and he couldn't see anything else.

Shen Qiqi was a little dazed, she seemed to see herself in his pupils and shook her head, and when she came back to her senses, she saw him twitching his lips and smiling.

"Since you're not afraid, let's go take a look at night."

After Mu Chengze drank several cups of tea in a row, his dry and itchy throat finally felt much better.

Listening to the two of them, you and I have made a decision, and I can't help but shake my head.

"If Cousin is afraid, then just follow Ashu closely. He is full of evil spirits, and ordinary ghosts can't get close to him."

He was not talking nonsense. When they went to Yuntai Mountain to ask for peace talismans three years ago, the abbot of Yuntai Mountain said in person that he was full of evil spirits, and a sword that killed countless enemies could be worth thousands of peace talismans.

"At that time, you will hold his saber. Even if he can't take care of you for a while, you will definitely not be in danger."

He spoke very seriously, and there was no sign of a joke at all.

Shen Qiqi didn't know if the saber was that powerful, but she couldn't help but look at Gu Tingshu's waist.

Although he doesn't wear this sword all the time, it can be seen that he always carries it eight out of ten times.

The sword that has been with him for many years, presumably also has a lot of his breath.

"I'll just follow closely then."

Shen Qiqi didn't dare to ask for the sword, even if she dared to ask, maybe her cousin would not be able to give it to her.

Weapons are like this, if she really asks for it, and the treatment is in danger, wouldn't all three of them suffer?

She is so obedient, she doesn't dare to ask for anything, even if she wants to come out with her, she only dares to nod when she asks.

Mu Chengze drank another cup of tea, "tsk tsk" shook his head.

It is a good thing for a woman to be well-behaved, but if she is too well-behaved, I am afraid that she will wrong herself.

Thinking about Suyang, she always speaks up when she wants, and never hides it, so at this age, she has never been wronged.

Because she felt that her father's shadow guard was powerful, she immediately asked for it. If her father refused to give it, she knelt outside the hall for three days. No, her father finally agreed to her.

Shadow guard, he, the prince, has never gotten one, but she can control it as she pleases.

If she hadn't had no intention of governing, she might be targeted by others now.

When the thoughts came back, Xiaoer had already brought the food, Mu Chengze threw out all the messy thoughts, picked up the chopsticks and started to start.

This restaurant is usually visited by travelers and hard workers, so all the dishes are full of oil and salt.

Gu Tingshu and Mu Chengze often run around, even if they don't like it, they can eat it, but Shen Qiqi can't.

The food she usually eats is lighter than ordinary people, and if it is heavier, she can barely swallow it, but she really can't swallow the food on the table.

Barely swallowing the food in her mouth, she drank two cups of tea, and only ate the rice in the bowl for the rest of the time, and did not touch a dish of food again.

Mu Chengze noticed her movements, and just as he was about to ask Xiaoer to cook some dishes again, Gu Tingshu had already handed over the dishes that had been drained once.

In the small palm-sized dish, there are all vegetarian dishes, not a piece of meat.

Mu Chengze felt that he was abusing him, but he also felt that he should not be this kind of person, so he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Shen Qiqi thanked her with a smile, pulled the small plate over, and slowly finished eating it.

As soon as she put down the bowl and chopsticks, Gu Tingshu had already poured out a cup of tea and handed it over.

Before setting off, Mu Chengze gave Xiaoer a few coins, and asked about the address of Luojiazhuang carefully before leading the horse out of town.

There are very few people in the small town, and I don't know if it's because of the Luojiazhuang incident. Pedestrians in twos and threes saw them and walked around one after another.

It was the first time to be guarded by someone like this, Shen Qiqi was a little curious and couldn't help staring at them.

When her eyes flicked across a corner of the wall, she suddenly met a pair of sinister eyes. The man covered his face with a black veil. She was about to take a serious look, but the man turned and left.

"what happened?"

Seeing her standing still, Mu Chengze asked.

Shen Qiqi thought for a while, then shook her head, "It seems that someone is staring at us, maybe I was wrong."

Gu Tingshu followed her line of sight, paused at the corner of the wall for a few breaths, and then moved away as if nothing had happened.

Mu Chengze glanced at Gu Tingshu who was expressionless, and then smiled at her: "I think you are wrong, we just arrived here, it is impossible for anyone to know us."
