Chapter 188 Meet an old friend in a foreign country

The morning mist has not yet dissipated, the egg-yolk-like sun is half hidden in the fog, and the wide canal is surrounded by large areas of reeds. From a distance, it looks like a shadow, hazy and beautiful.

In the quiet world, there is only the pleasant sound of flowing water, occasionally accompanied by a few crisp insects and birds, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

At this time, a circle of ripples suddenly opened on the calm water. The next second, a dark head suddenly rushed out of the water. The long wet seaweed-like hair covered the head and face, revealing only a tall nose. The sound of the water was so scared that a pair of wild ducks that were foraging not far away took off. Half a meter high, fluttering its wings and rattling all the way to the reeds.

"Bah, ah."

Shan Xiaowu lifted his long wet hair with his hand, spit out the water weed that had just been poured into his mouth, looked up and gasped a few times, and then swam to the river bank with his hands without hesitation.

He climbed ashore from the water with his hands and feet, and the exhausted Shan Xiaowu turned over and collapsed on the soft green grass in a large shape.

"Wow, I finally escaped..." It's not in vain that she didn't sleep all night!

Yesterday, she has been trying to reduce the sense of prevention of the escort soldiers, so that she will never run around and is quite afraid of water, which is the success of the escape plan early this morning.

The sky will not be bright, which is the most exhausting time for people who stay up all night. She is waiting for this opportunity. On the pretext of going to the toilet, he sneaked out of the window, and then opened the board to get water and slowly touched the water.

Fortunately, a pool was built in the backyard of Shanfu. When she was young, she soaked in it. The skill of holding her breath was not bad. She sneaked all the way up against the water and swam a distance of nearly 200 meters in the water. When she breathed, the boat that went down the stream could not even see the shadow.

However, she still didn't dare to go ashore rashly. She alternated breaststroke, backstroke and diving, and swam for a long distance in turn before she dared to stop.

After enough rest, Shan Xiaowu stood up from the ground, untied the skirt tied to his waist for the convenience of swimming, pulled a thin cloth from the corner of the skirt, and barely tied the head full of green silk.

The clothes on my body have been wrinkled for a long time because of soaking in water. If one side of the skirt is missing, it will look even more shabby. Coupled with the fine water grass, the hair that keeps dripping down, and the face that has become a little pale because of holding breath for a long time, now Shan Xiaowu looks embarrassed.

The uninformed person looked at it suddenly and might think that it was a water ghost who died in the river in vain.

I rearranged my clothes, unscrewed the skirt and cuffs together, and then shook off the water all over my hands. Shan Xiaowu thought for a moment, untied the belt, took off the thumb-sized thin gold piece from the inside and took it to his hand, and then tied the belt back.

I looked left and right and walked in the direction where I could faintly see the rice field.

Shan Xiaowu was extremely glad in his heart that the Xiliang soldiers guarding her were dry ducks, and they couldn't do it at all. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to chase them all the way. How could they have the space to escape by themselves?

It took me about half an hour to walk along the thorn of the field to see the first thatched house. On the road, I saw many farmers carrying hoes to the ground. When I saw Shan Xiaowu, he looked curious.

The clothes on my body have long been half dry by the wind, and it is not so uncomfortable to walk. Only the hair is still wet because it is entangled together.

I was frightened for a day and a night, and the wind blew on the road. Now Shan Xiaowu is cold and hungry. His stomach purred for a long time and wants to stuff everything into his stomach.

He asked the old farmer who was about the ready-to-wear shop and the place where he sold food. He learned that it would take two hours to enter the city to have a shop. Shan Xiaowu almost cried.

Fortunately, the old farmer was kind-hearted and saw that she was really hungry. She gave her half of her dry food and water, so that she could barely support the city and not fall halfway.

When I entered the city, I first found a clothing store and bought men's clothing to change it. When paying, I naturally used gold pieces cut off the belt just in case. After the silver was exchanged, Shan Xiaowu quickly found the nearest steamed bun shop. Without saying a word, he ordered all kinds of steamed buns. Seeing that there were noodles selling noodles next to him, he asked for a bowl of shredded pork noodles. In the end, he almost vomited on the spot.

He divided the remaining steamed buns to the little beggar next to him, and found a place on the street to leave a mark for the people of Xiaoyao Island. Only then did Shan Xiaowu find an inconspicuous inn, opened a guest room, and fell asleep.

She has been worried for so long and doesn't know where she is now. She must have a good rest. When she wakes up and sorts out a clue, she can find a way to return as soon as possible.

"Fazard, I miss you so much..." He silently rubbed his face against the quilt. Shan Xiaowu curled himself up and muttered twice. Finally, he couldn't resist the fatigue of days and fell asleep.

A good night's sleep, no dreams.

When I woke up in the morning, the sun was already high, and I washed it with the water sent by the second child of the store, and I was still wearing a coarse cloth men's clothing. Shan Xiaowu deliberately messed up his hair and pulled up his neck without a throat knot. After breakfast, he took him out of the room. He took the little money left to the carriage and hired a carriage. He found a driver who recognized the direction of Fengcheng. After agreeing the price, he went straight to Fengcheng.

It is estimated that when he ran away, it was water and wind. After less than half a day, Shan Xiaowu finally couldn't stand the cold. I sneezed all the way, my throat hurt fiercely, and the voice turned into a dumb bass in line with the appearance.

After taking the medicine, I was in a hurry. After tossing around for two days, two big dark circles appeared under my eyes, against a pale face. The whole person looked very haggard.

In the end, the driver couldn't stand it and offered to let her rest and take good health before going on the road. Shan Xiaowu also felt that it seemed inappropriate to go back with such a sick look, so he listened to the driver and found an inn to stay in first to recover.

When people are sick, they are always more vulnerable than usual. Shan Xiaowu is so uncomfortable that he can't sleep at night. He can't help thinking of the little guy far away on Xiaoyao Island, as well as his parents and brother in Yanzhou. But what I want most is that I still don't know if I'm also looking for her.

On the fifth day of escaping from the ship, Shan Xiaowu's illness finally improved. At least she could get up from ** and go downstairs to find something to eat.

After saying hello to the shopkeeper in front of the counter, Shan Xiaowu walked to the door. Today is the day of follow-up, and she had to go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

As soon as she reached the door, a man came in hurriedly with his head down. Shan Xiaowu couldn't dodge. He was hit to the ground by the man, and the back of his head hit the nearest chair leg, which made her scalp numb.

"Ah? Ah! Sorry, sorry!" The man may have realized that he had caused trouble and quickly reached out to help Shan Xiaowu. "This brother, Xiaosheng didn't mean it. Are you all right?"

This sound...

Shan Xiaowu was grinning and rubbing the back of his head suddenly. He looked up and immediately widened his eyes and pointed to the person in front of him with a ghostly expression, "Dumb scholar?"

It's true that we don't meet each other in life!

"I don't know if this brother is..." There was a patched package hanging on his right shoulder, and Jiang Fengyan, who still showed a sour and rotten atmosphere all over his body, looked down at her. His eyes fell on Shan Xiaowu in men's clothing. His eyes turned around her deliberately blackened face, as if he didn't recognize her at all. She is coming.

"It's me, pretending to be garlic!" Shan Xiaowu twitched the corners of his mouth and slapped him hard on the shoulder. "In addition to me, Shan Xiaowu, who else will call you a dull scholar?"

Stupid! No wonder you will be cheated on the way to the exam!

Jiang Fengyan looked at Shan Xiaowu's face carefully. The more he looked at it, the bigger his mouth was. Coupled with a pair of staring bull eyes, his expression looked quite funny. "Sun aunt... No, Mrs. Qi? You...what are you doing...?"

His eyes fell on Shan Xiaowu's coarse cloth men's clothing, which seemed to be a little difficult to accept for a while. He shook his head to jump out a few words, and he was worried that Shan Xiaowu would be beaten up, so he finally swallowed his saliva and swallowed all the words such as the female commandment and female discipline.

Looking at the expression that Shan Xiaowu did not agree with, he knew what the old-fashioned and rigorous scholar was thinking. He simply spread out his hands to let him see more clearly. On the one hand, he felt good about himself and said, "It's more convenient to wear it like this - how about it? Doesn't it look good?"

It's rare to meet an acquaintance. Shan Xiaowu, who has spent all the way in a strange place, has finally regained his previous liveliness. If it hadn't been for the fear that Jiang Fengyan was too old-fashioned to accept it, she really wanted to pull him to dance a dance to celebrate.

"Cough!" Jiang Fengyan withdrew his eyes and probably realized that he was staring at a woman just now. He quickly blushed and raised his chin. He looked at the roof beam and echoed insincerely, "It's very good, very good."

"Go, go. It seems that you have just arrived. Let me... I'll treat you to a good meal as a guest." Shan Xiaowu didn't care whether he was telling the truth or not. The joy of meeting strangers in other places had completely made her dizzy, and even her cold and typhoid fever had been cured by seven or eight points.

"This...this is not good..." Jiang Fengyan blushed and let her push her upstairs. In his ear, she heard Shan Xiaowu shouting loudly and asking the shop's Xiaoer to deliver the food to the room. He was so scared that he didn't know where to put it. Under Shan Xiaowu's unpleasant gaze, he grasped the burden and whispered out a sentence, "Gu Men and women, how can they... How can they live in the same room..."

The translation is: It's okay to eat, but it's not okay to eat together in the house!

"Go!" Shan Xiaowu, who had a tough personality, rolled his eyes around his chest and kicked behind his buttocks, forcing him to move forward. At the same time, he snorted disdainfully, "Who's with you? I'm a man now!"

Jiang Fengyan was kicked in the buttocks by her, and his face was so red that he was bleeding. At this moment, when he heard her, he almost fainted in horror. He quickly persuaded, "Mrs. Qi, women must not say bad words, such vulgar words, ten thousand in the future..."

"If you are the head!" Shan Xiaowu interrupted him fiercely, rolled up his sleeves like a bully who forced a prostitute, and shook his fist at him threateningly, "Are you going or not?"

"Go, go!"

In the face of violence, Jiang Fengyan had to give in. Finally, he had to hold the burden tightly and nodded repeatedly. The soles of his feet were oily and followed Shan Xiaowu into the room.

Because it is summer, most of the dishes at five o'clock are cold dishes, so the food is served very fast. A large table of dishes will be ready in less than half a column of incense.

"Eat it, eat it. You're welcome." Shan Xiaowu took the lead in pouring a cup of tea and greeted Jiang Fengyan to start.

After all, I have been invited before, and I was very hungry. Jiang Fengyan was not polite to her at this moment. He picked up chopsticks and picked up the vegetables and ate them.

Probably Shan Xiaowu didn't close the door, which seemed to make him feel better, and he no longer looked so reserved. He threw off his arm and ate happily.

Seeing that he was choked and rolled his eyes, Shan Xiaowu quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Eat slowly. No one will grab you."

His appearance reminded Shan Xiaowu of the first time when the two met. At that time, he was also devoured as he is now, and he was choked. Finally, Ben Lei helped him get his life.

Thinking of this, Shan Xiaowu couldn't control his gossipy heart. Seeing that he was still dressed in a white gown, he asked curiously, "Aren't you waiting to be released in the capital? Why did you come here?"

Jiang Fengyan's mouth was full of food and reluctantly replied to her, "Morning... early release the list. Xiaosheng... Xiaosheng came here this time to do... do business."

"Doing business?" Shan Xiaowu's eyes widened and looked up and down at him. He couldn't help raising his voice by eight degrees, "You?!"

Are you kidding?

With his poor and stupid appearance, he still learns from others to do business. If he is not deceived, he will be left with Amitabha!

"Xiaosheng..." Jiang Fengyan swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of tea quickly, raised his hand and was waiting to open his mouth. He suddenly shook, then closed his eyes and fell on the table with a touch, silent.

Shan Xiaowu was shocked and quickly reached out to push him, "Dumb scholar, dull scholar!"

Jiang Fengyan had no way to respond, as if he had fallen asleep.

Shan Xiaowu's heart suddenly jumped and quickly pushed away the chair and was ready to stand up. Who would have thought that there was a sudden blur in front of him, and then his whole body fell to the ground weakly like Jiang Fengyan.

Da Damn it, it's time to say it again!

He gritted his teeth and cursed the man who was drugged in the wine and vegetables in his heart. He fainted unwillingly.
