Chapter 100 Fragrance from Yuling ([-])

This morning, there is light rain.

As the boat sailed on the river, the light rain mixed with the wind was like a few small needles piercing obliquely, and it was extremely vigorous.

Mo Zi covered her face with a cold towel, the remaining drowsiness disappeared, and she woke up.Changed into an old cage skirt with floral patterns on a blue background, walked out of the cabins of the girls, walked through the dark corridor, and opened the wooden door.The oncoming rain needles immediately sprayed a layer of water mist on her skirt, making her rub her arms in the cold.

After walking the official road for half a month, five days ago, the advance team sent out to inquire about the towns near the border with Yuling was not peaceful, fearing that there might be refugees and bandits, Xiao Wei decided to change to the waterway.

In fact, from Luozhou all the way north, it only takes less than [-] days to travel leisurely by water, which is much faster than land, and the time required for day and night travel is still much faster.However, Mrs. Wei's always suffered from severe seasickness, so she chose the slowest instead of the quickest.It stands to reason that the road conditions in ancient times were not good, and the carriage was more bumpy.However, Mrs. Wei is used to the shaking method of short frequency, but not suitable for the shaking method of long wave shape, which is a helpless thing.

Mrs. Wei had no choice but to board the boat for safety.After the boat traveled for five days, she became dizzy for five days, throwing up whatever she ate on board.

There was also Wei Liuniang who was seasick, and she passed out from vomiting on the first day.

Xiao Wei had no choice but to let the boatman enter the port whenever he could, so that Mrs. Wei and his nominal cousin could go ashore to eat and rest for an hour or two.Therefore, the two-day boat journey took five days, which was slower than the carriage.

For the two women of the Wei family, it was suffering, but for Mo Zi, it was enjoyment.Especially this trip has nothing to worry about. Sleeping at night is as comfortable as sleeping in a cradle. During the day, I can’t see all the cultural scenery on both sides of the strait, and I have the fun of drifting with the crowd.No intrigue, no need to dig in and out, it was the most comfortable few days since I followed Qiu Sanniang, and I even felt that my waist was tightening and growing out.

As for whether Xiao Wei and Shi Lei would recognize him, he was really uneasy at first.Then, they found that the two big men were not looking at a girl at all, so they came to the conclusion that low status is also good.It's like being on the boat for the past few days, and I haven't taken any frontal photos.

"Girl got up so early." The boatman Ah Da, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, was holding a bamboo pole, and water drops dripped from the tip of the bamboo.

They were on a passenger ship, three or four times larger than the Yongfu ship, and there were four boatmen, led by Ah Da.In terms of structure, the wind speed is increased with the large and small sails, the tail rudder is adjusted to the direction, and the penny enters the port without paddles. How much it can walk in a day depends mainly on whether the weather is beautiful or not.

"Ah Da, is the wind going well today?" He didn't dare to reveal his secrets, and only asked what everyone knew.

"The wind is easterly today, so it's smooth. We will enter Luzhen Port after we bend this canyon. We will rest for two hours, and then we will have to go on the boat for two days." Chuan Ada stretched out his hand to wipe his face. The canyon is narrow and windy. A small vortex, the drizzle suddenly came in all directions.

"Deer Town?" Mo Zi thought for a while, "Very close to the border of Yuling? Less words"

"Three rivers and five peaks are separated, and it takes two days to arrive by boat." Chuan Ada often travels long distances and is very familiar with this area. The scene is very miserable. Luzhen is in Huazhou, and it is a very prosperous town, but I wonder if there are any refugees?"

"Where there are many people, refugees are not afraid." Mo Zi had no special thoughts or feelings at the moment.Where there is war, there is one who avoids war, and she herself is one of the refugees.

Suddenly smelled the smell of burning things, "What is this smell?"

Chuan Ada's face immediately became a little weird, and he pointed to the back of the boat, "There is a girl burning paper there... I saw that she was the person next to Miss, so I didn't dare to say anything. I think you are a talkative girl, otherwise, you Go talk to her? It's bad luck to do this on a boat. Those who sail the boat are most taboo about dead people and these unlucky things."

Chuan Ada uttered the word "paper money" in a confused manner, but Mo Zi probably understood what he meant after hearing what he said later.

Someone burned paper money on board.

Who would that be?

Mo Zi was also very curious, and walked towards the back of the boat with a grunt.Around the corner, I heard the man whispering.

"...I know you hate to go, and you are not convinced and unwilling. You said when you were a child that you will be the master in the future. I have also persuaded you to keep your own place. You never listened. Now you go , eyes are still open. I don’t know what to say for this competitive nature. It can only be that everyone has their own fate. It’s not yours. From now on, every Qingming Festival, I will burn incense and give you money, just in case you will be stubborn and offend the devil Yan Luo..." Weeping while talking.

Mo Zi took a step forward, and saw the girl in the railing of the boat with a sideways glance, the girl was wearing a white dress and a white belt, her hair was wet from the rain, she was wiping the teardrops from the corners of her eyes with one hand, and holding the burnt paper money with the other.There is a unicorn incense tripod on the wooden pier, with three sticks of incense sticks inserted in it, which burn vigorously in the wind and rain.

"Bai He?" After seeing the woman clearly, Mo Zi was too surprised.Last night, Xiaoyi and Luju were on duty in Qiu Sanniang's cabin. When she woke up in the morning, she was there alone. She thought that Baihe was actively serving the eldest lady again, but she didn't expect to do such weird things here.

"Mo Zi?" Bai He was a little flustered, she took a step slowly in her hand, the fire burned her fingers and touched her earlobe. "You got up so early?"

"Why do you feel so sad after someone passed away?" Mo Zi remembered that Bai He had no relatives other than Mrs. Liu, her godmother. "Never heard from you at all."

"Well... that... that is... no one." Bai He hastily sprinkled the paper money into the river.

"Ailian." A voice came from the sky.

Xiaoyi didn't have a tree to climb, so he climbed the mast instead?Mo Zi couldn't laugh, "What?"

"Ai Lian is gone." Xiaoyi sat horizontally on the rail of the cabin on the second floor, expressionless.

Ai Lian is gone, that is, Ai Lian is dead.

"How is it possible..." Although the situation of Ai Lian that night was not optimistic, but she and her parents left the Qiu Mansion, Mo Zi thought that at least it was better than staying in a place where people can eat people but don't spit out their bones, and have relatives to take care of them , Maybe it will slowly recuperate. "We have been away for more than ten days, where did the news come from?"

Xiaoyi looked at the sky, waiting for the blank face of Shaobing.

"Ai Lian disappeared on the second night after leaving the mansion." Seeing Xiaoyi say it, Bai He no longer panicked, "Her parents came to the gate of the mansion to cry, but they were blocked outside. Xiaoyi heard it."

In any corner of Qiu Mansion, there may be a pair of cat ears listening quietly.

Although Ai Lian is not a weak and kind woman, she is not vicious either.It can be said that she is greedy for vanity, and it can also be said that she is too scheming, but after experiencing the pride of mistresses, reasonable mistresses, and materialistic civilization after a thousand years, Mo Zi's accusations against the above two points are not as fierce as the ancients.And Ai Lian's ambition to be a master is not something she can despise.At best, she thinks that Ai Lian is not smart enough, and she obviously doesn't need to go through the method of Qiu Wu's nympho to gain status.

Ai Lian is a victim of the strict hierarchical system, an unlucky ghost who failed to carry out the conspiracy.As for those who are worse than her, Mrs. Zhang bears the brunt.In terms of people who are more ruthless than her, Fourth Mistress, Qiu Sanniang, and even Mo Zi herself are numerous.

Mo Zi stepped forward, took the last handful of paper money from Bai He, lit it with incense, "Then why did you burn it today?"

"Xiaoyi just told me last night." Bai He's eyes turned red again.

"Miss, don't let me say it." Probably because I was afraid that someone would feel uncomfortable.

"Ai Lian and I entered the mansion at about the same time and learned the rules together. We were little girls at the time, so we didn't talk about each other. Later, she followed his wife, and I was originally bought by a girl, so we gradually separated. Before For two years, she asked the fourth master to take over the house. Once she met me in the Taolin, and she was quite happy to talk for a while. She thought her good life had begun, but who would have thought that she would end up in such a miserable way. I think, if Back then, I could beg the girl to use Ai Lian, and it would have been fine if I didn't let her and my wife go." People walked away like a lamp went out, and Ai Lian's light turned into green smoke before it was dazzling.What exactly is this for?

"Bai He, this has nothing to do with you at all. If Ai Lian wanted to be the master at that time, even if she followed the girl, she would find a way to get close to Qiu Siqiu Wu. You and her have different paths, so the ending is destined to be different. Myself Don't take responsibility for yourself." Mo Zi and Ai Lian had no intersection at all, not sad, but sighing.If Ai Lian had followed Qiu Sanniang instead of Zhang Shi, maybe she could have come out of a different situation.

However, if only if.

Just like she met Qiu Sanniang when she was about to die and escaped from death, who would know if she would lose her life because of Qiu Sanniang in the future?

It can only be said that when you can make a choice, you should think about it before making a decision, so as not to regret it in the future.Once you think clearly and step out, even if the ending is not good, you don't feel regretful.

"But I feel bad..." Bai He whimpered softly, and for some reason, the more she cried, the more sad she became.

Bai He, who has no relatives, cherishes the once youthful friendship.

Mo Zixin wanted to do something for Ailian, but wanted to comfort Bai He who was crying bitterly.The paper money in her hand turned into ashes and scattered in all directions. She pulled out a sliver of incense from the incense burner, aligned her palms, and bowed deeply to the cold gray sky.

"Ai Lian, if your fragrance lingers, it will only make those who miss you sad. Life is like a dream, one rests and another rises again. I am like a maid, and I know your suffering. I would like to express my respect to the gods of heaven and earth You pray—" Second prayer.

Bai He hurriedly picked up the incense.

Under the expectant eyes of Mo Zi and Bai He, Xiao Yi turned over and jumped down, and also picked up a stick of incense.

"Bless Ai Lian to enter reincarnation early, whether the next life will be extremely peaceful, and the whole life will be safe and happy." The third worship.

After the three of them worshiped nine times, there was a sudden gust of wind on the river, which made them cover their faces and lower their eyes.After the wind passed, when I looked up, I saw that the dark clouds in the sky suddenly became brighter, and the rose-colored sunlight came out, sparkling golden light on the river surface, and the rain needles all over the sky were as light as velvet, gradually rising into the sky.

The spectacle came at just the right time.

Bai He clasped her hands together, knelt on the ground, and uttered a cry of great mercy.

The boat bent out of the canyon and entered the inland river of Deer Town.Mo Zi didn't know if she really had a spirit, but she was deeply shocked by the scene that caught her eyes.

That is--

Fragrance of bitter flowers on both sides of the strait
