It was a tiring journey all the way out of the city and over the mountains. When we arrived, it was already a month later.
It was still early autumn when it was cold but warm when I left, but now it is golden, fragrant with grass and fruits, sweet and mellow, it is the perfect time for autumn.
Du Suxi looked at everything in front of her silently, without saying a word. She held her hands behind her sides, but clenched them unnaturally, feeling a little uncontrollable nervousness. Shen Mu took this look into his eyes and said with a slight smile.
"Do not be nervous."
He was really like an older brother, and he took great care of Du Suxi all the way. Looking at Du Suxi's appearance, he explained in a low voice.
"This is a capital of Xiaoyao Valley. It's not even the center of Xiaoyao Valley. In two or three days, we can enter the capital of Xiaoyao Valley. Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Shen Mu was so considerate. Xifeng, who had been following with his head lowered, glanced at Du Suxi, his eyes flashed a little strangely, and there was some worry in his heart, but he remained silent and did not speak.
Du Suxi nodded. "It doesn't matter. As long as you ensure that my life is not in danger, I won't drag you down for anything else."
Now that things have come to this, it is rare for her to be so independent in this completely unfamiliar place. Shen Mu sighed lowly, but said nothing. He had known Du Suxi for some time, and he had no idea about her temper. , which is quite understandable. Understand that what Du Suxi said at this time was not just a pretense, but a real insistence.
"Then you take care of yourself, I will keep you safe." Shen Mu warned again uneasily. She wanted to give Du Suxi a sense of security, but saw a bright smile on the corner of Du Suxi's mouth, raised her chin, and faced forward The people waiting signaled.
"If you don't say a few words to them, I think they will call me a witch."
Her identity is so special that only very few people know about it. Therefore, this time, her identity is her concubine. The two of them talking like no one else will naturally arouse dissatisfaction from others.
This woman really has a delicate mind and sharp judgment. Shen Mu sighed secretly, nodded to Du Suxi, kicked the horse in the belly, urged the horse forward, and walked to the group of people to talk.
These people are all here to welcome Shen Mu. Looking at the huge crowd, including many young girls, looking at Shen Mu with admiration, Du Suxi couldn't help but chuckle.
The folk customs here are quite open, and they actually allow women to meet their lovers without any scruples.
But she didn't know. In this world, only Xiaoyao Valley really values women. Other places, more or less, are somewhat disdainful of women, and the idea that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue is deeply ingrained in her mind.
Even if you come back, you will inevitably have a reception banquet. Du Suxi didn't want to be in the limelight, so she asked for a curtain hat and put it on, and followed Shen Mu, calmly and indifferently, like a little maid.
Even so, his graceful figure and manners are graceful and generous, without any hint of timidity, and his outstanding grace makes people envious. Many women looked at Du Suxi jealously, but Du Suxi turned a blind eye.
The man who was standing next to Shen Mu and talking to him felt strange in his heart when he saw Du Suxi's unfazed look, and couldn't help but persuade him.
"Mr. Lang returned from a long way and brought such a graceful woman with him, but why did he show it to others with his face covered? This is Xiaoyao Valley, not a place where barbarians are at war. You, woman, should take off your veil."
Although the original intention was just out of curiosity, the implication behind the words was that they were said in a rude manner. This is to say that she is a woman who is too small-minded.
I am so angry that I don’t dare to appear in front of everyone.
Although women are respected in Xiaoyao Valley, men are still the most important, and concubines still have no status. Therefore, what this man said is reasonable and reasonable. However, Du Suxi frowned dissatisfied.
When she first came to this strange place, although she didn't want to be in the limelight, she was not someone to be bullied. If the veil was taken off today and spread out, I'm afraid she would be teased by more people. In this case, she might as well Take advantage of this opportunity.
When he raised his head, although the man couldn't see Du Suxi's face clearly, he saw a pair of extremely clear and bright eyes, which made him fascinated and almost lost his temper.
"This gentleman, who are you?" Looking at him, Du Suxi asked gently, her tone deliberately soft.
A look of pride flashed across the man's face and he spoke. "I am Qian Yuan, the outer deacon of Xiaoyao Valley. You can call me Brother Yuan."
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter. Everyone could still see that Mr. Qianyuan was interested in this masked sister-in-law.
Shen Mu frowned, not expecting Qianyuan to be so bold. Just when he was about to express his displeasure, Du Suxi took over the topic and burst out laughing.
"You woman, why are you laughing?" Someone asked curiously. Du Suxi stopped laughing, but stared at Qianyuan calmly and calmly, and said slowly.
"Young Master and I have nothing to do with each other. I have just met Young Master. As soon as Young Master came up, he made things difficult for me and made me show my face. Has Young Master never seen a woman before? Or do you think Young Master Shen Mu is easy to bully? , do you want to give him a blow?"
As soon as these words came out, everything fell silent.
It was originally a trivial matter, but in Du Suxi's words it became an issue of the two men's faces. As a man, who would not care about face
This Du Suxi simply blocked Qianyuan's escape route, making it impossible for him to get off the stage. Qianyuan's face turned red and white, white and red again, and he wanted to explain, but he was not a man of words. He held it in for a long time and couldn't say a word.
When he was unable to step down, Shen Mu coughed lightly. "Okay, okay, Qianyuan didn't mean this. If you think too much, go and rest."
This is looking for steps for Qianyuan.
Du Suxi had achieved her goal, but she really didn't care what happened to Qianyuan, so she bowed obediently and left everyone's sight.
Even so, there were still many people's eyes looking at her, and Du Suxi could even feel the burning gazes behind her.
This is exactly her strategy. Let more people know about her, so that the owner of Xiaoyao Valley will be jealous and will not attack her! As a killer, Du Suxi never completely trusts a person and puts her life in the hands of others. What she prefers is to control her own destiny.
In the blink of an eye, it was already beautiful moonlight. Shen Mu sent people to look for her, but she was not afraid and went directly.
The two sat face to face, Shen Mu's expression was full of helplessness, but he didn't take Du Suxi's attitude seriously.
"You really stole the show today." Seeing Du Suxi's indifferent expression, Shen Mu reminded him softly.
Today's incident was really too impressive for Du Suxi.
Du Suxi curled her lips, squinted her eyes, looked at Shen Mu with disdain, and said. "Are you able to accept that your woman was bullied and chose to be a coward? If so, this matter is my fault."
"..." Shen Mu was so excited by these words that he looked at Du Suxi and blamed him. "As expected, you are a sharp-tongued person. After today's incident, you will probably become famous soon." After a pause, a thoughtful look flashed in Shen Mu's eyes, and he smiled lightly.
"But it may not be a good thing for you."
Du Suxi just smiled and did not answer. She believed that Shen Mu would understand some things without her having to say them. He should understand, otherwise, he would really be sorry for her trust.
"Have a good rest. I will take you to the capital tomorrow." He knew that this little woman was not reckless and had probably made plans in her heart. Shen Mu was not too worried and believed that this woman would be able to do well. protect yourself.
She fell into a deep sleep all night, but Du Suxi was tossing and turning.
Coming to this strange place, everyone is very strange. This feeling is fake if you don't panic, and it is fake if you don't feel fear.
How could you not be afraid? How could she not be frightened? It was just that she was determined and kept it inside rather than showing it to the outside.
However, I don’t know what is going on in the capital. How many times will those little girls cry when they know that they have run away
Zhong Lingxi should be able to look for her. That girl Qingzhuang will definitely cry. Hongluan has always been calmer, so he will probably comfort them first. With his own plan, he wants to divide the Mo Shang Xiangfang. It's not difficult to start a business well.
As for Helian Kuang and the others, they should be looking for him for a while, and they will gradually forget about it as time goes by, right? In this world, as long as there is enough time, everything will become a lot lighter. After the first period of time, they will probably forget who they are.
Even if I think of it occasionally, I just sigh.
Yes, yes, that's how it should be. I was thinking this in my heart, but for some reason, there was an indescribable sadness in my heart, and I just didn't want to be forgotten.
Taking a deep breath, Du Suxi complained to herself, how could she have such thoughts, but it was so embarrassing.
But she didn't know that although Mo Shang Xiangfang was still operating at its basic level, Helian Kuang and the others came to visit almost every day to see if Du Suxi had come back. The deep affection moved many women, secretly sighing that Du Suxi was really a blessed person to be favored by these handsome young men.
However, this is a story for another day.
When the sky first dawned, Du Suxi finally fell asleep in a state of worry, but she woke up not long after sleeping.
Today is the day to leave, and the trip must not be delayed because of her alone. Du Suxi naturally knows this.
After walking out of the room, Du Suxi nodded at Shen Mu. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, Shen Mu frowned. "What's wrong? Did you not sleep well? Are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why are you so haggard?"
Du Suxi just shook her head and smiled. "No, I'm fine."
Naturally, she would not say that she was worried. She had never been in the habit of sharing with others, but it was an accident that happened to Bu Zhou Shanxia.
The carriage continued on its way. The boys and girls waved willow sticks and sang clear and loud songs to see them off, with expressions of reluctance on their faces.
Du Suxi didn't like this. She didn't like being too noisy, but she also understood that she had no right to speak. I can only sit quietly in the carriage and take a nap with my eyes down.
After walking ten miles, they all retreated. Finally got a clean slate.
