Chapter 19 The Mysterious Man

However, after seeing Jiang Yulang and I, two and a half older children, buying medicines in large quantities—and there was a lot of poison in them, the corners of the pharmacy shopkeeper’s eyes twitched, and he finally asked hesitantly: “I don’t know what the two little ones are. Young master, what is the use of buying so many medicinal materials?"

I smiled slightly and said, "Boss, don't worry, we won't use these medicinal materials to harm anyone, we just need to be prepared for a long trip."

Speaking of which, I understand the boss's worry very well. If I bought the medicine today and poisoned someone to death tomorrow, and the government finds him, he will also bear the responsibility. After all, he bought the medicine from him.

The big and small bags were carried back to the inn. The people in the inn looked at me and Jiang Yulang with a bit of curiosity in their eyes, but...the door is closed and I won't show it to you.For the next day, Jiang Yulang and I spent our time grinding those herbs—because we didn’t bring any tools with us, we had to make them into powder.Both internal and external use are available.

After preparing the medicine, it's time to buy dry food and clothes. The clothes should not be too extravagant, ordinary civilian clothes are fine, so as not to be watched by people on the road. Although they may not be afraid of those people, it is still more troublesome.Well, the rest is food and water... Water is easier to say, buy a few more water bags, and then go to Houxi to fill up.For food, buy steamed buns with meat, and then buy more jerky that is not easy to perish, and flatbread, well, some pickles or something, although it is not very healthy, but don’t ask for so much when you sleep in the wild.By the way, by the way, buy some quilts and the like, and make the carriage more comfortable.

On the third day when we were waiting to see it, the carriage was finally finished. Jiang Yulang and I were very satisfied looking at the carriage.The appearance is very simple, but the inside is very spacious and exquisite. This carriage was made according to the largest specifications at that time. At that time, those craftsmen saw that we spent a lot of money, and asked us if we wanted carvings—go, the two of us are not girls. do what?Well, the carriages of rich people are carved, but... we two want to be low-key, low-key and low-key, so why don't you get this for us so that we can snatch it.

The carriage has been finished, but the horses have not yet arrived. Fortunately, the craftsmen were enthusiastic and took us to pick two beautiful black mares—the mares are more docile, and those two have received certain training, so they are not easy to startle. .Even the two of us were not easy to control, very good... Later, Jiang Yulang and I humbly asked about the daily maintenance of the horses.In the past, I often heard that horses are very delicate and difficult to raise. Now these two horses are going to drag us for a long distance. How can we not take good care of them?

After learning some basic knowledge and learning how to drive a carriage, Jiang Yulang and I drove the carriage on the road... Well, before we set off on the road, I made the inside of the carriage comfortable and made two layers of quilt, soft Yes, if you think about it, it will not be too uncomfortable - the shape of the wheels of the ancient carriage is not a very standard circle, and it is sure to bump when sitting on it.

I naturally put a thick cushion on the seat outside the carriage where I drove the carriage. As for the horse stool, I didn’t prepare for it. Although the carriage is tall and we are a bit short, but... both of us know how to do light work, prepare That thing doesn't do much either.

In this way, Jiang Yulang and I embarked on the road to the southern border. As for what awaits us... no one can say for sure.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is a pity that since Xiangcheng came out, when we walked to Pingsha Town, a small town below, the two of us saw the green grass and trees along the way, and there were very few people. .There are even few carriages and horses. Considering that before leaving the city, the craftsmen told us to be careful, saying that there are robbers on the nearby mountains, but they often hijack rich and noble families.Ordinary people are not robbed. I think this is the reason why there are few people here, right?

Now it is Jiang Yulang who is driving the carriage, although at the beginning I was very eager to try it—I can’t ride a horse, so can’t I enjoy driving a carriage?But Jiang Yulang drove me into the carriage on the grounds that I was too hot outside.Although I also fought, but to no avail - there is no way, I have never been Jiang Yulang's opponent in terms of force, and it is impossible for me to drug him, so I had to obediently nest in the carriage to tease Ari.Ari is indeed a treasure, and I often go around with jerky.

It was getting late, but there was still no shadow in the next town. Just when I was about to ask if I should hurry, Jiang Yulang opened the curtain and said to me: "Xiao Yuer, it's getting dark, but the town is still there." I don’t know where it is, I’m afraid I’m going to sleep in the wild.”

"Ayu, drink some water first." I handed over the water bag, then thought for a while and said, "Let's take a walk first, it would be best if we can enter the city before nightfall, if not, find a place to rest for the night Anyway, the space in the carriage is spacious enough, and we have enough things, so we don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Jiang Yulang nodded, put down the curtain and continued to drive the car, and I felt quite bored in the car, so I also got out and sat beside Jiang Yulang.

"Why did you come out?" Jiang Yulang raised his wrist and flicked his whip. The two horses were well-trained, and they knew where to go when they heard the sound of the whip, and there was no need to hit them.

"It's boring, anyway, the sun is not strong now, come on, you go in and have a rest, I'll catch up." I took the whip from Jiang Yulang's hand—he didn't stop me this time.But he didn't get into the car either.

"The scenery on this road is pleasing to the eye at first, at least there are mountains and rivers, but after seeing too much, it will be the same." Jiang Yulang also began to tease Ari.

"So, there is no beautiful scenery in a familiar place. Alas, the sun is about to set, and it looks like we are really going to sleep in the wild." I said while driving the car enthusiastically.

"That doesn't matter. Anyway, there is water in the place. I don't have to spend the night outside before." Jiang Yulang looked up and pointed to a piece of flat land not far away and said: "Go there, the grass is not high, I guess There won't be too many mosquitoes."

"Although I have slept outside before, at that time I was able to return home the next day, and I felt nothing. Now...I spent the night outside today, maybe I will spend the night outside tomorrow, and the journey is long, so it is uncertain. What will happen." I said while driving the carriage to the place Jiang Yulang pointed out.

"Regret? Want to go back?" Jiang Yulang asked with raised eyebrows.

"Who said that?" Glaring at him, "It's just a vaccination for you and yourself first."

Jiang Yulang smiled and didn't say anything else. In fact, I know that if you regret it and want to go back, there is still time, but... it's all out of the valley anyway, where should I go?Southern Xinjiang is just a little farther away.Stop the wagon, tie the two horses to a nearby tree, and cut two piles of grass for them to eat.Jiang Yulang and I started looking for dry branches—the pot we bought before we left came in handy. We cooked some soup with dried meat and pickled vegetables, served with steamed buns and flatbread...a simple dinner was ready.

"Ayu, light the fire first, I'll go wash the pot and dry meat, and bring back some water." After a day of turbulence, the water in the water bag was no longer fresh.

"Okay, be careful yourself. Don't go too far." Jiang Yulang nodded and urged.

I nodded, I had sprayed insect repellent powder on my body long ago, and ordinary poisons can't get close to me, so I dared to go to the tall grass - the stream is at the foot of the mountain.Ahri was bored, so he came with me too, well, it’s not bad to bring such a little guy, at least it has a strong sense of danger.Although it is not a deep mountain and old forest, it is always good to be careful.

It was only when I got closer that I realized that it was not a stream at all, but a lake!Of course it's not a dead lake. The upstream stream flows here and hoards it into a small lake.I felt fresh for a moment, and quickly took two steps forward, but... I stopped after only two steps—someone was taking a bath in the lake.

The man's back was facing me. Under the moonlight, I could only see the long black hair shining all over his head and shoulders, and then his fair skin, which could be seen as a woman... I breathed a sigh of relief, but even It's a woman, I won't be held responsible for this even if I'm a child, right?What's more, a woman who dares to bathe in the open air must be extremely bold, otherwise she wouldn't dare, right?Nowadays, the requirements for women are already harsh. The only difference is the Jianghu women, but most of them will be looked down upon by the rich and powerful families.

I glanced at the man, turned around and started to walk upriver - I'm not interested in using people's bath water to make soup.But just two steps away, I heard a clear voice shouting: "Who is it?"

It was discovered.I sighed, and when I turned around, I suddenly found that the person was standing in front of me with clothes on. I was stunned, so fast, I must have encountered some kind of monster, right?

When the man saw me, he just raised his eyebrows slightly: "Where did the child come from?"

I just woke up, looked up at him, and couldn't help but widen my eyes. Although I couldn't see clearly under the moonlight, I could tell that this person was extremely beautiful.Slender eyebrows, phoenix eyes and diamond lips, a lively beauty, but unfortunately he is a man, yes, although he looks like a man and a woman, there is no trace of femininity in his body, but he looks free and easy.

"Hey, have you seen enough? Let me ask you, where did you come from?" The man was slightly impatient.

I took a look at him, although he looks good, but Jiang Yulang is not bad, so I am not to the point of drooling at him in a daze.It's just—does it matter to you where I come from?If it was an ordinary person, I would have ignored him a long time ago, but a beauty can always make people... well, everyone knows that.

So I clasped my fists and said, "I'm staying here overnight. I just came to get water. Unexpectedly, I met the young master taking a bath. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll go somewhere else." No matter how good it is, it doesn't matter to me, my Ayu is still hungry, not to mention... Who knows if this guy is a human or a demon.Less contact is better.

It's a pity that the sky didn't fulfill the wishes of people. I just turned around and saw a flower in front of me, but the man was standing in front of me again.The corner of my mouth twitched slightly, this guy, if he wasn't a mountain spirit or a wild monster, he might have a good lightness skill... It's better to provoke less.

But before I could speak, the man smiled and said, "You're a young kid, but you talk old-fashioned. It's really interesting." There was a hint of teasing in his tone.

I frowned slightly: "Please don't block the way, my lord." This man didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't dress well, so he stopped me and wouldn't let me go.

"I just want to stop you, what can you do?" The teasing in the man's tone made people really...

"I can't do anything, that's all I can do..." I punched him away, but the man was naturally not afraid. Now I can see that he is just good at light work. Well, as long as he is still human, I will Don't worry too much.

"You..." The man was already lying on the ground, heh heh, you can avoid my fist, but you can't prevent my medicine powder.

Patting the dirt on my body, I smiled at him and said: "Don't worry, it will be untied after half an hour. It's really that the young master is too annoying, so I have to make such a bad plan. There are few people here, and I don't think anyone will see it." You are in a state of embarrassment, son. There will be no future!" After thinking about it, I kindly picked up his clothes and covered him - no way, he was only wearing a middle coat, but now he collapsed , of course it's... Well, happy together, I'm still very kind.

After I finished, I went upstream, Ah Li, that bastard, no, it was a fox bastard, who hid aside when something happened, but at this time he came along.

"Interesting, interesting, we will definitely meet again!" I walked away, but the man was still in the mood to laugh and shout.

Weird, who wants to see you again.After washing the pot and jerky and fetching water, I made a detour back to the camp.Jiang Yulang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me: "Why have you been away for so long? I want to look for you, but I'm afraid I'll go astray."

"It's nothing, the water source is a little far away." After thinking about it, I still didn't tell Jiang Yulang about seeing that person. Anyway, we are not very close to the lake, so that person might not be able to find him.

As a result, just after I finished speaking, the lingering voice sounded again: "This young man is really a nobleman who forgets things too much. He obviously had a good conversation with me just now, but now he forgets about me in a blink of an eye. ah."
