The new wind blows from the north, bringing a biting chill, and it blows on the face like a knife.
It was difficult for everyone to move, so they had to set up camp in place.
Su Yun plucked the hairs of the rabbits caught by the guards, removed the viscera and marinated them, then secretly took water from the space and started to make rabbit soup.
The taste of the rabbit meat was already delicious, and the water was the water in the space. Just after boiling, the fragrance had already filled the entire tent.
Su Yun deliberately picked the tenderest part of the rabbit's body, filled a bowl full and handed it to Fanyin: "Master Fanyin, fortunately, you have been able to take care of my second brother during this journey. This is a little soup I made by myself. You If you don’t dislike it, you can use some.”
Su Yun didn't see Su Yichen go to the kitchen once during this journey, so this move was naturally to make Su Yichen feel ashamed.
To Su Yun's surprise, Shen Jiayan's face not only did not show shame, but was shocked, as if Su Yun had done something outrageous.
"Brother, monks are merciful. How can you kill in front of my master and let him eat?" Shen Jiayan looked at Su Yun with eyes full of accusations, "or is it that my master offended you in some way, so you just let him eat?" So to him?"
Su Yun forgot that this was the same thing, and she couldn't take or throw away the bowl in her hand. If the murderous look in Shen Jiayan's eyes could turn into reality, Shen Jiayan would have died a hundred times already by now.
"I'm sorry, I just thought it was too cold this day, so I wanted to send you some soup to warm you up. But I didn't expect my second brother to misinterpret my meaning so much. I..." Su Yun paused at this point , looking too sad to say more.
Fanyin lowered her eyes, pulled Shen Jiayan into her arms and sat down, still worried, and wrapped him tightly with a cloak.
Then he looked at Su Yun indifferently: "The poor monk also wants to know where he offended Su Yun's benefactor, and framed the poor monk repeatedly. If the benefactor wants to tell, you may as well speak up."
Su Yun took two steps back, and there were tears in his eyes: "Why did the national teacher Fanyin only listen to the second brother's side story? Have I ever framed the national teacher?"
Hearing this, Shen Jiayan got his head out of Sanskrit's arms: "That time in the palace."
"It's good that Master Fanyin took the medicine, but why do you think it was me? Is there any evidence to prove that it was me?" Su Yun gritted her teeth and asked.
His mother used a dark chess piece that had been planted in the palace for many years to seal the powder in the candle. Afterwards, the palace lady was silenced, and there was no such thing as evidence. Su Yun knew this, that's why she spoke with extra confidence.
If Shen Jiayan couldn't produce evidence, he could still bite back and say that Shen Jiayan made the powder by himself. The reason is that Shen Jiayan has long had such nasty thoughts about the national teacher.
Shen Jiayan blinked: "Brother, from the beginning to the end, no one told you that my master was drugged, right?"
Su Yun clenched her fists tightly, and only then realized that she was overwhelmed by the loving gesture of these two people, and even said all the things she shouldn't have said.
Su Yun couldn't help but glanced at Sanskrit.
Su Yichen moved around, and Fanyin tied the cloak for him. Those indifferent eyes seemed to be unable to accommodate anyone in this world except Su Yichen.
It is this kind of unconscious care that sometimes looks more glaring.
Since you only have him in your eyes, then I will use my own way to make you remember me. Su Yun slammed the bowl in her hand to the ground: "Fanyin, there will be a day when you will beg me, I'll wait!"
After finishing speaking, Su Yun didn't have the face to stay here any longer, so she went to the other side of the camp.
Sanskrit and Shen Jiayan didn't want to eat, but there were a lot of guards waiting to eat.
This road is full of hard steamed buns and jerky, they have long wanted to eat hot: "Thank you, Mr. Su."
After they thanked them, they took the bowls to the tent and started to eat. They only felt that the taste was delicious like they had never tasted before, and they wished they could swallow it with their tongues. In the end, there was a big pot of soup, and there was no drop left.
It is less than a day away from Mocheng. The next day, except for Su Yun, Shen Jiayan and Fanyin, no one was able to get up.
And those guards were all vomiting and diarrhea, their faces were sallow, and they didn't even have the strength to walk.
The spring water in Su Yun's space has the effect of detoxifying and beautifying the skin. These guards are on the road day and night, and their diet is not refined enough, so it is inevitable that too many toxins have accumulated in their bodies.
Even when Su Yun first used the spring water, it was done step by step. Each of them drank three or four bowls in one go last night. They couldn't make up for it. It was inevitable that they couldn't bear it, and it had the opposite effect.
The three people who didn't drink soup last night had nothing to do, and those who drank all wished they could live in a latrine. Obviously, there was something wrong with Su Yun's soup last night.
The criminal law is strict, if they miss the delivery time of the medicinal materials, all the guards will die after returning!
For a moment, the guards looked at Su Yun with hatred in their eyes.
Sanskrit took the pulse of the guards one by one and said, "It's okay, it's just too much supplementation. Rest in place for a day or two to expel the toxins from the body."
"So, Su Yun's benefactor will stay here to take care of them, and the poor monk Tong Yichen will send the medicine over first." Sanskrit quickly made a decision, even if they could wait, Yu Chiyan might not last long in Mocheng alone. And the people of Mocheng couldn't afford to wait.
Su Yun is naturally not reconciled, if the medicine is sent over, it will be a great credit, and the people will definitely miss your good in their hearts. With such a good opportunity, he is naturally unwilling to hand it over to others: "Master Fanyin, this medicine is so important, I don't feel at ease giving it to outsiders casually. Why don't you let me go with you on the road."
"Then who will take care of these guards?" Sanskrit asked back.
Su Yun shifted her gaze to Shen Jiayan: "Second brother has always been the best at caring for others, so it's most appropriate to keep him."
Those guards were grateful for Sanskrit's willingness to see a doctor for them, but also hated Su Yun for harming them so badly that they were unwilling to stay and take care of them to make up for it. Immediately, he spoke to Sanskrit very understandingly: "Young Master Su, it's better for you to stay. Only if you stay, we can rest assured!"
In the end, Su Yun reluctantly stayed. After all, he couldn't offend all the guards to death at once.
So, the carriage carrying the medicinal materials slowly drove towards Mocheng.
Desert City, just like its name, is the most barren and barren.
The soil here is not fertile and crops cannot grow. Countless people who have taken root here have worked for generations, but it is difficult to maintain even the most basic food and clothing. Taxes here are all reduced or exempted, but there are still many people who are struggling to make ends meet. The court transports a large amount of grain here every year.
Now that the plague suddenly broke out, when the carriage walked on the street, it was like entering a dead city.
Those who could escape have already escaped, and those who could not escape just stayed and waited to die slowly. Everyone's face was dead silent, from old women in their 60s and 70s to children in their 30s and 40s, they just fell asleep numbly, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.
Shen Jiayan stared at the scene in front of him without blinking. There is no kind of despair that can make people feel more immersive than at this moment.
Suddenly, my wrist felt cold. Shen Jiayan looked down. Sanskrit took off the Buddha string on his wrist and put it on his own hand, and looked at him in confusion.
"I have carried this prayer bead close to my body since I was a child. It has accompanied me to listen to the Dharma. Today, it has spirituality." Fanyin's eyes were faintly worried, "When I am not around, it can protect you."
Shen Jiayan was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled lightly after understanding Sanskrit's worry: "Master, I have never believed in Buddhism, and I don't know if it can protect me."
As Shen Jiayan spoke, he put the Buddha string back on Sanskrit's hand again and again: "But I believe in you, Master, and I know that you will be able to protect me well. So I don't need it. Compared to this, I would rather wear it The only person is you, Master."
Shen Jiayan touched the red beans on the Buddha string, and said softly: "Because, the Linglong dice is attached to the red beans, do you know if you are deeply in love?"
Sanskrit did not speak, and directly pulled him into his arms, sniffing his breath, his whole heart seemed to settle down.
The carriage drove all the way to the Fuya, when Yu Chiyan received the news that they were coming, he waited at the gate of the Fuya early.
The busyness of the past few days has made him look a lot lighter, and the clothes on his body look a little empty, but his eyes are much more determined, as if the whole person has a backbone.
Seeing that Su Yichen also came with him, there was obviously a trace of surprise in Yu Chiyan's eyes, but he was relieved immediately, and there were more blessings in the eyes looking at the two of them. "Put the medicinal materials in the warehouse and store them well. Sanskrit and Mr. Su, follow me to the study."
Shen Jiayan and Fanyin looked at each other and walked in.
Yu Chiyan closed the doors and windows one by one, and sent soldiers to guard the door. Finally, he carefully took out an old account book from the hidden compartment of the study: "Take a look at this."
Fanyin opened the ledger, and a musty smell came over his face.
Sanskrit only turned a few pages before closing it abruptly, his expression changed slightly: "Where did you get this ledger?"
"These days, I have been chased by killers four times and poisoned three times because of this ledger." Yu Chiyan smiled wryly, "If someone hadn't rescued me, I'm afraid they would have succeeded."
"Then what are your plans?" Sanskrit put the ledger back in place and asked, "This matter will definitely affect the whole body, do you know?"
"I know. But I still plan to uproot it." Yu Chiyan said with firm eyes.
