Traveling to the ancient harem

The prince learned to fly and no longer wanted to walk, so he flew in the sky while the master and his two disciples walked below. They came to the place where they had first discovered the peppers.

The previously green peppers had turned a lot redder. Hongdou took out the cloth bag that she had prepared long ago, picked the red peppers and put them into the bag. The ones they had picked before had been dried, and Huang Ye had compacted the dried peppers. She sealed the bags with large pieces of oil paper and put them in several bags. She understood that eggs should not be put in one basket. Although it was unlikely that something would go wrong, she was afraid that something might go wrong.

Huang Ye told her master that there would not be much left after this wave of picking, so she should not come to pick peppers this year. The peppers were a gift from the mountains, and they should not be passed down. Guan Zhen was very pleased. This child had a vision and a great future.

It was a sunny day, and the heat was oppressive early in the morning. It was the hottest time of the year, and the atmosphere in Ciyuen Temple was a bit depressing. Huang Ye and Hong Dou changed back into the women's clothes they had bought when they went down the mountain last time, and said goodbye to everyone they knew in the temple one by one. From now on, she was no longer the little nun Mingjing in Ciyuen Temple, but Huang Ziye, a noble lady in the Minister's Mansion far away in the capital.

Lingyu kept wiping away tears, she couldn't send them down the mountain, her master and uncle weren't in the nunnery, someone had to stay here, she made a pair of shoes for each of the two little sisters to wear on the road, and now they were wearing them. Huangye gave her sister a hug, and Hongdou followed suit, causing her to hold them and cry for a while.

When they said goodbye to the gatekeeper little nun, the little nun reluctantly sent them out for a long distance. Over the years, the two of them had gone in and out countless times, and it was almost always her who opened and closed the door for them. If they came across some delicious wild fruits or something in the mountains, they would save some for her. They became good friends with each other. Now her friend was leaving, and perhaps she would never see her again in this lifetime. How could she bear to let her go?

"When you have a chance to go to the capital in the future, be sure to come and see me." Huang Ye had already written down the address. She handed her the written paper and said, "No need to send me off. You still have work to do. Go back quickly."

After the little nun left, looking back every few steps, the master and his three disciples quickly walked down the mountain.

The head of the village is at home today. Guanzhen sent people down the mountain a few days ago to tell him that he might need to use a ox cart in the next few days. He didn't dare to run around casually, for fear that someone would come down from the mountain and he would not be at home, thus delaying important matters.

The door of the village head's house was open, "Is the village head home?" Huang Ye's clear voice rang out.

"Here we are." The head of the village came out hurriedly and was stunned when he saw the two people who had changed into their regular clothes. "So they are two young masters. Are they going to the town?"

"Yes." Huang Ye smiled. The headman hurriedly greeted the two nuns, and as for his wife, she went to the back hill to drive the cattle after greeting them.

Guanzhen took Jingzhen and told her earnestly: "When you go to that place this time, you must protect the two children well, and you must come back safely. You don't have to worry about the nunnery, I'll take care of everything." Because there were outsiders present, she did not mention the name of the Poison Doctor Valley.

"Don't worry, senior sister." Jing Zhen said concisely. Just kidding, with her successor from the Poison Doctor Valley around, no one would dare to make her unsafe.

"Master, don't worry. I will ask the prince to come back in a while. If there is anything in the nunnery, you can write a letter and ask the prince to bring it back. If there is any need for me, I will definitely not refuse."

Guanzhen touched her head, then touched Hongdou's head. The two children had grown much taller than when they first came. It seemed that all the meat they had secretly eaten in the past few years had not been in vain. They were almost catching up with her in height.

"Okay, Master is waiting for your letter in the nunnery."

The headman's wife drove the cows down from the mountain, and the headman quickly harnessed the ox cart. Huang Ye and Hong Dou reluctantly said goodbye to their master, and got on the ox cart to the town.

The town was still as lively as before. Huang Ye jumped off the ox cart and motioned Hong Dou to take out a silver ingot: "Village head, thank you for picking us up and dropping us off over the past few years. Now we are going back to the capital. This silver is our thanks to you. Please accept it."

The head of the village felt sad. In the past few years, the two people had been traveling back and forth in his ox cart, and they had become familiar with each other. When he suddenly found out that they would not come back in the future, he felt reluctant to let them go.

"I can't take this silver." He said with a serious face: "You have always given more in the past, this time I give it to you for free. If you have the chance to come back here in the future, as long as I can still move, I will definitely harness the bullock cart to give it to you again."

Seeing that the headman was determined to refuse, Huang Ye did not force him. He asked Hongdou to run some and buy some snacks, a large piece of meat and a bag of rice, and put them on the ox cart for him to take back. The headman had no choice but to accept it.
