Yanmenchun

Chapter 71

Shentu Danlin was not surprised when he heard the words, but lowered his eyes and said: "I know."

Shen Tuchan took a deep look at him, turned around and went out.

In the afternoon, Shentuchan went to say goodbye to the old lady, and Shentu Danlin was sitting in the longevity hall.

After listening to what Shentu Danlin said, the old lady couldn't help but sighed: "What you said is also reasonable. This year you have been plagued by many disasters. I don't know which gods you have collided with."

Shen Tuchan followed and said, "That's right. Grandma is getting old, and she always suffers from insomnia and dreams when she comes in. The granddaughter also wants to pray for grandma."

The old lady thought for a while and sighed: "Okay, you go, just go to quiet your mind, the chaos in Beijing is like a pot of porridge, it is enough to have Dan Lin at home to accompany me."

Shentuchan and Shentu Danlin looked at each other, and the old lady said again: "Although spring is here, and the nights in the mountains are cold and cold, you should bring more things, the maid can't bring more, because the vernal equinox is careful, take her, and take two more things with you." A rough little girl."

Shen Tuchan smiled and said: "Grandmother is thoughtful, so I will listen to grandma."

When he came out of Heshou Hall, Shentu Danlin asked doubtfully, "Do you want to bring the vernal equinox?"

Shen Tuchan looked into the distance: "No, she's going to Cilian Temple."

Shen Tuchan wrote posts to Princess Tai'an, Princess Baoqing, Feng Yingru and Huo Xiangxiang, telling them that she would go to Cilian Temple to worship the Buddha for more than a month, pray for her family, and help her avoid the imperial edict no matter what.

Although the decision was hasty, the packing was quick, and the temple could not bring too many vulgar things, so Shen Tuchan simply packed some necessary things, bid farewell to the old lady and Shentu Danlin and set off.

Cilian Temple is a nunnery, not many people come to worship the Buddha, the environment is quiet and clean, the abbot collected the money from the Zhenbeihou Mansion, and set up a clean courtyard for Shen Tuchan to worship the Buddha.

After Shen Tuchan explained the vernal equinox, she changed her dress and jumped out of the window.

To prevent Li Xiangshan and Concubine Rong from acting as monsters, the news of Shen Tuchan's visit to Cilian Temple was kept very secret, and she only told others that she had gone to the village to visit the old village.

Shen Tuchan wore a black robe with silver wristbands on the cuffs and a veiled hat on her head. She rode in front, Xiao Man was a little behind, and Hu Dao followed at a distance.

He didn't expect Miss Shentu to be so bold, and she sent a letter to King Yan.

Hanzhong is far away, Xiao Man tried to persuade Shen Tuchan to take a carriage, but she refused, the weather is fair for the first half of the journey, so riding a horse will be faster.

Shen Tuchan is like a bird that has escaped from its cage, and is about to fly to a wider world.

They soon left the capital to go to Yizhou, which is close to the capital and very prosperous.

They only spent one night in Yizhou before continuing on their way.

Xiaoman felt sorry for her, and every time he arrived at the inn, he took out moisturizing cream to apply to her, but Shentuchan's hands were still dry as he traveled day and night, so Xiaoman had no choice but to say: "When we arrive in Hanzhong, I will find some milk for you. Miss Bubbles."

Shen Tuchan was dispensable to these things, hearing this, she just smiled.

Going all the way to the northwest, the towns are not so dense, and they will inevitably settle in some farmers.

When Shen Tuchan was ten years old, she had to live in a farmer's house, and she didn't have any dislike for it, but Xiao Man felt bad for her.

The house they borrowed was a middle-aged couple, a farmer's family. The couple had a son and a daughter, who were not very old. Xiaoman brought some money for the woman and asked her to prepare more hot water.

Shen Tuchan had been on the road for a day, Xiaoman had just washed Shen Tuchan with hot water and soaked Shen Tuchan's feet when she heard a knock on the door.

She frowned in displeasure, Shen Tuchan picked up the veiled cap and put it on, Xiao Man got up and went to open the door.

The son of the woman at the door was standing at the door, a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, with a straightforward appearance, but his eyes were staring blankly after Xiaoman opened the door, and he was holding a bamboo basket in which some rough pancakes were placed. Said: "Miss, these are pancakes made by my mother, let me deliver them."

Xiaoman blocked the room, glanced at the pancake and said, "Thank you."

After speaking, he directly closed the door.

The two of them practiced martial arts, and their hearing was excellent. They only heard the young man walk a few steps, and a little girl's voice said, "Did you see it? Is it pretty?"

The young man's voice was a little excited: "The one who opened the door was the maid. The maid is already very beautiful, but it's a pity I didn't see what the young lady looks like!"

Xiao Man frowned, Shen Tuchan shook her head and said, "Forget it, one thing more is worse than one thing less."

Xiao Man put the pancakes on the table, and brought out some snacks and dried meat for Shen Tuchan from the package.

At night, Shen Tuchan slept with her clothes on. Although she had a cloak under her body, the daily pampering still made her feel uncomfortable. She tried hard to force herself to sleep.

Xiao Man was probably exhausted and fell asleep.

Shen Tuchan was closing her eyes, she could hear slight footsteps at the door, the footsteps were clear, not something that a martial arts practitioner should have, she opened her eyes, and breathed lightly.

Hearing the man tentatively push the door gently, the voice was very soft, but Xiao Man woke up, Shen Tuchan hastily covered her mouth.

Shen Tuchan got up and sat up, and Xiao Man also sat up, and saw a figure flying towards the boy quickly, Shen Tuchan said loudly: "Hu Dao, don't kill him."

Hu Dao's blade had reached between the young man's eyebrows, the young man was looking at the tip of the knife with trembling eyes, Hu Dao snorted softly and put the knife back into the sheath, the young man was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground, Hu Dao kicked him three times Four paces away.

The boy screamed and fell to the ground.

Inside the house, Xiao Man had already waited for Shen Tuchan to put on his shoes.

The peasant couple in the house and the little girl who was talking today all ran out. Seeing Hudao standing at the door aggressively and her son lying on the ground, the woman cried out in surprise and went to help her son. He said: "Why do you still beat people by borrowing it! Is there any law of heaven and king!"

The young man was lying on the ground clutching his stomach and screaming in pain, he was kicked so badly by the Hu Dao that he wanted to vomit, the woman also cried out, "Why are you so unreasonable, it's so unrewarding!"

Still wanting to say more, Hu Dao said in a cold voice directly: "You dare to peep at my young lady, my young lady's identity, just one look is enough to kill you!"

The man who was in charge immediately stopped talking and took a step back, the woman also stopped crying in shock, she only opened her mouth but couldn't speak, the boy held back the pain and stared at Hu Dao with wide eyes.

Hu Dao sneered: "The nobles from the capital city, the silver rewards to you are the smoke from your ancestral graves in several lifetimes, so get out!"

The husband and wife were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy, and quickly hid in the house with their son.

Hu Dao waited for the door to be closed tightly, took a few steps on the spot, and suddenly said loudly: "Princess, kill the matter directly according to what the subordinate said. You are kind, and the subordinate will let them go. You should rest earlier, don't worry. There is a Hudao to guard the gate for you!"

His sound resounded through the small courtyard, and the couple's legs trembled in fright. They didn't expect that the guest was a princess. The county magistrate in their city probably had never seen any princess. Thinking of hitting their son a few times, The woman was worried and kept begging the Bodhisattva for protection.

Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing at the sound of Hu Dao, Princess, while Shen Tuchan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Xiaoman said to the door with a smile: "Princess Wang has already rested and will leave early tomorrow."

After Xiaoman finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said to Shen Tuchan: "Wangfei, which princess is it? Princess Yan?"

Shen Tuchan knew that Hu Dao's behavior not only concealed her identity for her, but also frightened the family.

In fact, when she went out, she brought the badge of Princess Baoqing, and it was the same for the people who said she was the princess. Besides, they had knives in their hands, so there was nothing to be intimidated by.

Seeing Xiao Man giggling, she lay down and said, "If you're not tired, keep laughing."

Xiaoman stuck out his tongue and lay down.
