Duan Yunchi looked at Gu Xinran and asked, "What are your plans? Wu'an County is at the foot of the mountain. I suggest you take a break and plan your route before setting off again."
I have a farm nearby, it's quite big and has enough houses, we can all live there if we squeeze in."
Gu Xinran indicated that she wanted to discuss it with everyone, then stood up and went to find the village chief and Li Daru. Duan Yunchi also stood up.
He seemed to see a familiar figure and tentatively called out, "Mr. Li!"
Li Daru looked at the familiar face in front of him, but couldn't remember who it was. He asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
Duan Yunchi smiled and replied, "Shangshufang, pull out your beard."
When Li Daru recalled the days when he taught in the Shangshufang, a kind smile appeared on his face.
After a moment, he stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Oh, it's Duan Yunchi, you naughty boy. Haha, you've grown taller and more handsome!"
After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Duan Yunchi personally invited everyone in the academy to rest at his Qingyuan Villa at the foot of the mountain.
Everyone had a difficult journey and was physically exhausted. It was rare to have a safe place to rest and recharge, so both teams decided to rest for a day, plan their route, and then set off again.
Duan Yunchi was very happy. "I'll go back to the manor tonight and give you a welcome dinner."
Li Daru and the Gu family nodded in agreement.
Duan Yunchi left his servant Lai Fu behind to lead the way and take everyone to Qingyuan Manor, then said goodbye and left.
After breakfast, the two teams followed Lai Fu down the mountain. The journey was smooth and they arrived at the foot of the mountain at noon.
From a distance, there is a small village below. Although the fields are not lush green, they are growing winter vegetables such as cabbage, radish, and mustard, and there is no sign of drought.
Everyone felt particularly familiar looking at the vegetables they hadn't seen for a long time.
If there were no disasters or wars, living in peace in the village would also be a kind of happiness.
The twelfth lunar month here is not too cold, Lai Fu said. The coldest temperature is only minus 1 or 2 degrees Celsius. Occasionally there will be some light snow, which is usually a few centimeters thick and melts quickly, so it will not affect the growth of winter vegetables.
What a nice place!
Everyone rested for a while and had a few bites of lunch.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Qingyuan Manor.
Gu Jia and Li Daru lived in the guest house, and the others were arranged to stay in the side rooms on the east side.
The side room is also made of blue bricks and tiles. It is clean and tidy inside, and is equipped with a large bunk bed. Each family has a large room, which is much better than sleeping in the wilderness.
There is a kitchen and a big stove next to it, with plenty of firewood for them to use. There is a well in the yard, so water is very convenient.
The two teams were very happy. After fleeing famine for more than a month, it was the first time they could live in a normal house.
Everyone was busy taking a bath, washing clothes, and cooking. With so much food distributed, they could have a full meal.
The servants in the farm brought them some freshly dug radishes from the fields, some juicy green vegetables, and a lot of garlic sprouts and green onions.
Together with the meat distributed by Qingfeng Village, we can have a delicious meal.
The guest house where the Gu family lives is fresh and elegant, well-equipped and has many rooms.
Gu Xinran checked into any room and prepared to go to the kitchen to boil water and wash up to get rid of the bad luck brought from the bandit's den.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw that the servants had already prepared water. Lai Fu was a capable man and had arranged for someone to serve him.
After the bathtub was carried into the room, Gu Xinran closed the door and slipped into the space. A place where it is spring all year round is so comfortable.
After washing up, he checked the harvest in Qingfeng Village. Seeing the piles of food and treasures, he smiled like a fool.
Food is especially scarce, and this can save many lives.
After the test, I lay in a rocking chair by the spiritual spring, chewing an apple and admiring the jewelry. It was such a pleasure! I really want to enjoy it forever.
Alas, she has money and space, and the only thing she needs to get out of trouble is a stable place.
Damn Third Prince, the Jinzhou city is blocked, and I don’t know how long it will take to get to Yunzhou by taking a detour.
I don’t know what happened to her boyfriend who just got together and then broke up with her. News is transmitted so slowly these days.
After thinking about it for a while, Gu Xinran got dressed and went back to her room. She opened the door and saw Xiaomei and Xiaolan.
Haha, whatever you wish for will come true. The arrogant Brother Falcon follows behind them.
As soon as he saw Gu Xinran, he walked up to her shakily and touched the bamboo tube on her leg with his mouth. He was truly a spiritual eagle.
Gu Xinran let them into the room and carefully took off the bamboo tube and put it away.
Brother Falcon stared at her with his big round eyes, nodded his head from time to time, and made a low "cooing" sound.
Is he trying to be cute and ingratiate himself? Or is he asking her for something delicious?
Seeing Brother Falcon lower himself, Sister Xiaomei couldn't help but sigh, "Apart from occasionally paying attention to the master, he's also the most enthusiastic towards you."
Gu Xinran laughed, "Everyone loves me, flowers bloom when I see them, and birds love me too. I'm just that outstanding, you can't envy me."
The two men were amused by her, and with grins on their faces, they lifted the bathtub and left without disturbing her while she was reading and replying to the letter.
Seeing that Brother Falcon was so well-behaved, Gu Xinran fed the postman first.
She took out a plate of roe deer meat dipped in spiritual spring water from the space, placed it in front of it, stroked the feathers on its back, and let it enjoy it.
Brother Falcon ate with great joy, occasionally looking up at Gu Xinran, humming twice before continuing, as if to say, "Delicious, delicious!"
Wow, it’s really a spirit.
After entertaining Brother Falcon, she opened the bamboo tube, took out the letter, unfolded it and read it carefully.
I'd like to express my gratitude this time. Thanks to the top-quality ginseng and antler pills she gave me, the Crown Prince and the Emperor's health has improved, and the court is now stable.
The imperial guards who were tracking down the third prince reported that he had fled to Jinzhou.
After learning that Wang Kui had disobeyed the order, Xiao Mingzhan volunteered to lead 5,000 imperial guards and personal guards to cooperate with General Duan Qingyan of Zhennan to capture them.
On his way to Jinzhou, he asked Gu Xinran to be careful.
Finally: I haven’t seen you for so many days, I miss you like crazy!
Haha, Gu Xinran's eyes showed that beautiful face and those deep eyes, coupled with the above words, so sweet.
Her heart began to beat faster and faster.
I wonder where they are marching to? Is there any chance for us to meet?
Xiao Mingzhan, whom she was thinking about, had arrived in Zhongzhou and was marching quickly in the cold wind with a large army.
Thinking about getting closer and closer to Gu Xinran, he silently said, "My heart is like yours, I will never let you down." A smile appeared on his face.
She took out her pen and ink and began to write back.
It tells the story of the heroic feat of overthrowing Qingfeng Village, the joy of meeting Duan Yunchi, the worry of having to continue taking a detour, and finally: I look forward to meeting you, and I will share your dreams with you many times!
He rolled up the letter paper, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, sealed it tightly, and tied it to the leg of Brother Falcon who was taking a nap after a full meal.
I wonder if Xiao Mingzhan’s heart would beat faster like hers when he saw her last sentence.
As soon as the letter was tied up, Brother Falcon walked towards the door on his own initiative. Oh, he is a hardworking postman.
Gu Xinran gently touched its head, opened the door, and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Falcon. I'll treat you to delicious food next time I come back!"
It rubbed against Gu Xinran's palm, then spread its wings and flew high, disappearing into the sky in a moment.
Just as Gu Xinran looked up to admire Brother Falcon soaring in the sky, Duan Yunchi came over.
"Xinran, was that Brother Falcon who just streaked through the sky?"
