Title: Past and Past

Summary: Separated lovers will meet again under the silver laurel tree

In the summer afternoon, I was sleepy on the donkey cart on the way back. I nodded my head and dozed off against my eldest son and asked, "I just heard you thank the young master. You thank everyone. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I can't thank you enough," said the eldest son.

It's not an answer, but I want to ask Wei Ba: "You said I went to Shang Wei Ba, right? Is he really better than Wei Hou? Today I heard him lightly say that he killed the head of Ruzhou and touched Xiangrui twice. My heart is terrified."

"Be ruthless when necessary." Shen Lian straightened my hair and said, "Li Ping, don't doubt what you did at the beginning, you can only believe that you didn't pick the wrong person." He suddenly asked me: "Do you want to help me?" Fragrant fenugreek comes out"

I smiled wryly: "I think so, but what can I do to make it so that the young master, Mingmei, is marrying Xiangrui, and then turns to death the daughter of Yantiesi's family?"

Shen Lian said: "Just think about it."

I let out a "huh" and stopped thinking about those things, and just asked him trivial matters: "When you grow up, will the one or two taels of money every month be enough to spend now, will you be laughed at by the classmates of Taixue?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "It's enough, no one can laugh at me." Under the afternoon sun, 16-year-old Shen Lian's eyes elongated, no longer round cat eyes, but phoenix eyes.The complexion is white and the jaw line is clear.

When I got out of the donkey cart, I got off behind him. After jumping off, I compared him to his back and said, "You are as tall as me."

He laughed at me: "That's not enough, I must be taller than you."

I shook my head, and the two of them went back to Hemu Medical Center.After crossing the yard, Shen Lian went to her own room, and Wei Yan was copying medical books and practicing calligraphy in my room.I went to the kitchen to boil water, and as soon as I stepped back to my bedroom, Wei Yan held up a dried silver osmanthus flower and asked, "What is it?" Shen Lian walked to the door of my bedroom and stopped.

I said: "Ah, you have already copied my earliest medical book. When I was 15 years old and returned to Chang'an from Lizhou in the south coast with my master, I picked up the silver osmanthus fragrans that I picked up in Yutan City when I was [-] years old. I put it in the medical book."

Wei Yan said, "I haven't been to the south."

I walked to the desk, took out a blank medical note from the bookshelf, drew the Huangshui in the shape of "ji" from left to right, and said to him: "23 states in Maochao, seven states in the south." I lit a few On the left side of the word, it says "Huangzhong, the most important town in the southwest. To the southwest of Huangzhong is the Miao area where the Miao people live, and the plateau in the northwest of the Miao area is Wusi Tibet." I clicked on the inside and said, "Wangzhou", and lit The words are stamped next to each other on the right, "Yuanzhou, Shunzhou, Tanzhou, Ruzhou, the coast is my hometown Lizhou. The capital of each state is usually suffixed with the word city, but the capital of Wangzhou is called Yutan City. There is also a state capital called Lingyi." I pointed to a few characters above and said, "Ezhu and Wangzhou are across the river from north to south."

Shen Lian folded his arms and interjected at the door: "You and I have drunk famous teas from five states at Weiba's. The ones I remember include the Guzhu purple bamboo shoots in Huangzhong, the gold slices in Yuanzhou, and the Fangshanlu in Shunzhou." buds, white dew from Tanzhou."

"Today you still need two ounces of Ziyang Maojian from Confucian State," I reached out to him, "Let's use it for dipping."

The eldest son took out a small paper bag from his arms and threw it to me. I put it on the table, picked up the teapot and went to the kitchen to fetch boiling water, and made a cup for each of the three of us.

Wei Yan took a sip and suddenly said, "Qi Jin, Apple, Yutan City."

I praised him: "You have a good memory. The apples that Qi Jin invited us to eat when he moved in came from Yutan City by water." I said, "Speaking of osmanthus, Yutan City and Yuanzhou City are separated by water. In Yuanzhou City, there are golden osmanthus trees, but in Yutan City, there are silver osmanthus trees."

Shen Lian interjected: "I saw it in "Records of Customs and Culture". This osmanthus tree was originally one species, but it was born as a twin in two cities separated by a river."

I said: "Well, it blooms every October. The silver laurel tree in Yutan City has a beautiful legend that separated lovers will meet again under the silver laurel tree." It is good for lovers not to be separated.I couldn't help but look at Wei Yan, his deep eyes were also looking at me.

Shen Lian said: "I got the book of war, I'm going back to the master's house first." So he left.

In the scorching summer, I went to the front shop to greet Wei Yan: "Go to the store to buy watermelon and come back, put it in the well for a while to cool off the heat at night."

After seeing the consultation, I stopped in the front shop for a while, filled the sachet with mosquito repellent medicinal materials, and made four mosquito repellent sachets.

When I went back to the yard, I found a group of four sitting on a stone table under the vines.There are four red lanterns hanging from the vines, which have not yet been lit.There are plenty of food and wine on the table, there are two wine jugs, and there is a large food jar on the ground.As soon as I went, everyone looked back at me in unison.Shen Lian in orange red, Wei Yan in black, and white gown sat on the stone bench together, leaving an empty stone bench and empty bowls and chopsticks.There was also a stranger in short brown clothes, looking like a tracker, sitting on a wicker chair.The rattan chair was standing upright, the front two chair legs were hanging in the air, only the rear two chair legs were on the ground.The man crossed his legs, put his feet on the edge of the stone table, and was throwing peanuts into his mouth with his head raised.

With thousands of incarnations, walking the world "Tan Qing?" I hesitated, and sat down on the empty stone bench.Wei Yan put fish in the empty bowls and chopsticks for me.

Tan Qing said: "Doctor Li still remembers me."

I said, "Last October you said to change the date, and you changed it to August this year."

"I went to serve the leader in Wusi Tibet." Tan Qing said, "Shi Xiangtian sent me out on business, and I just came back from beyond the Great Wall, and made a detour to get together with you in Chang'an City. Wei Yan just wanted to go to Qianpu to call you for dinner , you're here."

Everyone opened their chopsticks one after another, and they poured the jug into their mouths together, asking him, "What did Shi Xiangtian send you to do?"

Tan Qing said: "He studied the ancient annals of the Tianyi Sect, and accidentally saw a kind of wine called 'Qianchen' outside the Great Wall, and the opposite note was written under the name."

Shen Lian asked: "The opposite explanation?"

Tan Qing said: "Yes, one comment says that drinking this wine can make you forget what you love; another comment below says that it has no such effect. Shi Xiangtian became curious, so he sent me to inform the God of Dionysus outside the Great Wall, and ordered the God of Dionysus to find him. Get this wine."

Qi Jin was curious: "Did you find it?"

Tan Qing said: "How can it be so fast. I think it will take at least ten or eight years to search. This time to see Dionysus, he took in a young Han apprentice named Xu Heng. He is only nine years old and looks extremely smart." He said. Qi Jin said, "It's still interesting in the world. There is only loneliness in Wusi Tibet. Every time I go in and out, I have to bypass the Twelve Villages in the Southwest. The journey is long."

Qi Jin said: "That is."

Wei Yan, who bowed his head to eat, suddenly asked: "Why do you go around?" "Wei Yan, you don't know if you haven't been to the main altar." Tan Qing said: "The twelve villages in the southwest are the villages of the Miao people. My teacher has always wanted to take the shortest way in and out of the main altar. However, the Miao people are too difficult to deal with."

Qi Jin raised his hand happily: "In the fourth year of Shenglin, when I was 35 years old, I went to the southwest to pick out twelve villages one by one." He emphasized, "I won all of them, and the Miao people admired me very much."

Shen Lian asked: "Master, it's useless for you to use it, so you don't want it, right?"

Qi Jin said: "A good apprentice knows me best."

I asked from the heart of listening to the story: "Are the Miao people very powerful?"

Qi Jin said: "Ah, it's generally powerful. It's just that you can't breathe when picking up the twelve villages, so it's extremely dangerous."

Tan Qing explained: "The twelve villages are connected in a line, and they support each other, so they can only be picked one after another. If we can break through one by one, my teacher will not have such a headache."

Shen Lian asked: "What about the Miao domain? Little is known about it by the outside world. The "Records of Customs and Humanities" only records that there are Gus, and the Miao people love to wear silver ornaments."

Tan Qing said: "There is no map in Miaoyu. Except for those who are not afraid of anything like Daxia who want to see everything, they are all those who want to plant the 'symbiosis' Gu to survive. But those who come back alive It is rumored that the Miao Domain does not take martial arts exams. After you enter, the Miao people who raise Gu will be planted with 'symbiosis'."

"After I picked the Twelve Villages, I stopped by the Miao area." Qi Jin picked up the fish's head and said vaguely, "I should draw a map to keep, but I didn't draw it at that time, so I can't remember it now. .”

Wei Yan paused: "If you don't test martial arts, what are you testing for?" Shen Lian picked up the cold big food jar at my feet, and he unscrewed it.He said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get an empty bowl," and got up.

Tan Qing said: "Persistence and confidence."

I asked: "How to test?"
