"You don't have to be afraid. If you can pick them, then pick them. If you can't, then don't go again." An Yan signaled her not to worry.

"I think you are a good girl and have helped me a lot. Although I selfishly want you to stay with me, I feel it is unfair to treat you." The old woman was very honest and spoke directly from her heart.

An Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will make living water come out of the well, so that you can leave."

The old woman was the first to walk into the yard. She put the buckets side by side and patted her waist again.

At this time, the moon was already high in the sky.

After washing her hands, An Yan went to the small flowerbed to look at the Youyue grass. She hoped that more plants would bloom today, but today only two plants had flowers in bloom, and the white flowers were glowing with a faint, long-lasting light.

The old woman handed over a bowl and said to An Yan, "Here, this is for you."

An Yan took the bowl, picked the Youyue grass and put it into the bowl. Soon, she saw them turn into water, and poured the water into a bottle.

"I think this is something to look forward to, but it should be different for you. You will definitely think it takes too long." The old woman said with a smile. She has been here for a long time. Even if only one plant blooms a day, she only needs to wait another 108 days. She is not in a hurry.

But for An Yan, it was a little longer.

As the night deepens,

The sky is dotted with bright stars.

Yan Qingqiu searched here for a whole day but didn't see any trace of An Yan. Moreover, he was hungry and thirsty, so he had to go back first.

Li Rongsen was already preparing to eat. When he saw Yan Qingqiu coming back, he said, "Wash your hands and eat."

"I say, you only stayed here for one day?" Yan Qingqiu asked him, looking at the table. There were nearly ten dishes, including chicken, duck, fish and meat. It can be seen how much Lingxian values ​​him. Maybe she wants to start trying to please him now.

"Did you find her?" Li Rongsen answered the question irrelevantly.

Yan Qingqiu was a little unconvinced, and he said, "If I found her, she would have followed me in."

"There's no point in searching like this." Li Rongsen said as he picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

Yan Qingqiu held Li Rongsen's hand and said, "Let me check if it's poisonous first, don't rush to eat it."

Li Rongsen immediately stopped and signaled him to test for poison first.

Yan Qingqiu took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and sprayed it into the air. Then he looked at the food on the table. After finding that there was nothing unusual, he said, "Okay, eat." Then he picked up the bowl and chopsticks. He was starving to death.

"Where did you look for it? How big is this place?" Li Rongsen asked.

"It's so big that I can't walk through it all. It's like a palace." Yan Qingqiu ate the food in big mouthfuls, then looked at Li Rongsen and asked him, "I've been running around outside all day, and you've rested here for a day?"

"I'm using my brain."

Yan Qingqiu sneered and asked him, "So how is your brain working?"

"You'll know in a moment." Li Rongsen said.

"The food tastes good." Yan Qingqiu said as he ate, and then sighed, "I'm so worried about An Yan. I'm afraid she's been bullied by that woman. I don't know what she eats or drinks. She has never suffered."

"You really like her." Li Rongsen chuckled.

Yan Qingqiu glared at Li Rongsen, thinking that he was too heartless. He wanted others to feel sorry for his wife, and he said it so lightly. He deliberately said, "Of course, I must marry her. I can't live without her. I will fight anyone who dares to snatch her from me."

"Anyway, I won't compete with you, you can rest assured."

"Then I'm really worried." Yan Qingqiu muttered. He just hoped that he would come and grab it quickly.

"What do you mean by that? Are you afraid that I will covet my friend's wife?" Li Rongsen immediately became serious and said, "I can swear that I will never..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, stop talking. It makes me upset." Yan Qingqiu quickly signaled him to shut up.

Li Rongsen thought Yan Qingqiu was worried about him, so he said, "Don't worry, after An Yan and I get married, the three of us will live together."

"What!?" Yan Qingqiu immediately jumped up from his chair.

"You don't have to be so excited. My marriage with An Yan is a transaction. I will create many opportunities for you to win the beauty." Li Rongsen thought that he was being loyal to his friends.

"Thank you, thank you whole family!" Yan Qingqiu said through gritted teeth, while shoveling a mouthful of rice into his mouth and biting it very hard.

Li Rongsen continued to eat leisurely.

Lingxian came in from outside, holding a glass of wine and two other cups. She was smiling at first, but when she saw Yan Qingqiu was also here, she got annoyed and said, "What are you doing? This room is where you should be. These meals are not prepared for you. You have food in your room that you can eat."

"You must be joking. If I don't eat here, where else can I eat? Am I asking you to drink wedding wine with Li Rongsen?" Yan Qingqiu mocked her.

Lingxian subconsciously grabbed the cup and pot. She originally wanted to drink two cups with Li Rongsen, but when she saw that she was exposed, she gave up and just said, "I'm here to deliver the wine."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"That's right, put down the two cups, Li Rongsen and I will have one each, that's just right." Yan Qingqiu said to her very impolitely.

"This is my territory." Lingxian said to him with gritted teeth.

Yan Qingqiu burst into laughter, then slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, "If you don't want to see me, tell me where An Yan is."

"That's exactly what I meant. Hand it over now and we'll leave right away." Li Rongsen also said.

Lingxian controlled her temper and said in a cold voice: "Take your time to enjoy it." Then she placed the wine pot and wine glasses on the table, then turned and left.

"What a cunning woman! How can she compare with An Yan? She is so insidious and vicious, not likable at all." Yan Qingqiu snorted heavily.

"Eat your meal, and we'll go out to look for it together in the evening," said Li Rongsen.

Yan Qingqiu raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Have you come up with a solution?"

"Let's go check it out when the night is quieter." Li Rongsen said. He thought that there were a lot of things going on outside, and the most important thing was to find the person and bring him back as soon as possible. Besides, his grandfather was always urging him, and it would be troublesome if he refused to take the medicine again one day.

"Well, I'm glad you said so."

"How can I let your woman be trapped here and suffer?"

Yan Qingqiu really wanted to strangle him to death, but he held back and said, "Of course she is, she is my woman."

Li Rongsen didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

The night was so deep that silence arose, as if everything had stopped.

An Yan was ready to go to the forbidden area to get some food, but the old woman next to her said to her, "Girl, you have to think it over carefully. I don't want anything to happen to you. Anyone who goes to the forbidden area will die. This is the rule here, and no one has ever changed it."

"Don't worry, even if you get caught, they won't tell you that you were here."

"That's not what I meant. I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about your life."

"I understand. I will be careful. You go and burn some firewood to heat up the pot. I'll be back soon." An Yan said as she went out.

Seeing that she couldn't stop her, the old woman gave up, thinking that this girl was quite capable. Since she came, the foul air had become much easier to deal with, and it took less time than before, and she also felt more relaxed.

An Yan went to the place where she had fetched water just now, and went to the forbidden area as the old woman said.
