There are many treasures in this country

Ouyang Xu and Wang Tiezui didn't come back until nightfall, they both seemed a little tired.Xiao Suo thought that they were tired after a day's work in the teahouse, so he didn't pay attention to it, and only hurriedly prepared dinner for them with Shan Gu.

The next morning, Xiao Suo went to Xiaolianpeng Lane to take a carriage again.Now it was natural for him to meet Shen Yan privately, and after saying hello to Eleven, he boarded the car and headed for Nanshan with peace of mind.

Shen Yan said yesterday that today he will be picked up to meet in the ice room.So when he came out in the morning, he deliberately put on the blue cloak given by Shen Yan.The last time he only stayed outside the cellar, he couldn't stand the cold, so he must behave himself this time.

Going all the way to the south, the houses gradually become plain, and the green trees and green hills slowly come into view.After walking for a while, there is already a bamboo forest at the foot of Fuzhou Mountain.Eleven was inconvenient to go in, so he drove the carriage outside the forest, stopped and said, "Young Master Xiao, it is not convenient to take a carriage inside, you can get off here. The little one will wait at the side gate of Shepu, and you will see me when you come out."

Xiao Suo said "Thank you", stepped on the path in the forest, and went all the way inward.After walking for less than a moment, Shen Yan could be seen waiting for him in the distance.

Probably because it was a private meeting, there was not even a waiter around him, leaning crookedly on a bamboo, with a piece of emerald green bamboo leaf in his mouth.

"I'm late." Xiao Suo stepped forward, standing there in a gentle manner, straighter than bamboo.

Shen Yan took off a piece of clothing from the bamboo branch next to him, and said with a smile: "I came early, but you are just in time."

He took off Xiao Suo's thin cloak, put on the snow-white fox fur cloak in his hand, fastened the belt tightly, patted his cheek and said: "It's cold inside, you'll be fine wearing this."

Xiao Suo nodded his head.Shen Yan pinched him again: "So cute!"

Now it is August and a half, it is neither the season when the ice will rise in the middle of the day, nor the season when the ice will be stored in the third and ninth, so there is no one around the ice room, not even a guard.

Shen Yan closed the heavy door, walked all the way in, lighting the wall lamps on both sides.When he got to the bottom, he handed the fire to Xiao Suo, took out a key from his waist, and opened the copper lock on the door.

Inside the door is a long corridor, with tall and wide iron doors on both sides, and the distance between the doors is very far. Obviously, the ice room inside is huge.They walked to the end, but in front of them were the two largest doors as far as the eye could see.

Seeing that the big lock in his hand was abnormally heavy, Xiao Suo wanted to push the door for him, but as soon as his hand touched the copper ring on the door, he felt that the ice was so severe that his skin pierced his bones, so he quickly withdrew his hand.

"You can't push it." Shen Yan smiled at him in a low voice, pulled the copper ring and pushed hard, and the door rumbled open.But he turned around suddenly, turned his back to the door, and protected Xiao Suo.

"Is there a hidden weapon?" As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Xiao Suo felt a cold wind blowing from both sides.

"Is it cold?" Shen Yan rubbed his arms back and forth with his big hands, "Get used to it first, and then go in."

I didn't notice just now, it was also black with a torch in my hand.Xiao Suo was farther away, only to find that there was a layer of frost on the door, and there was also a white cold mist pouring out from inside.

"I'm not cold, your clothes are very warm." He stretched out his hand to test the temperature on Shen Yan's face, "You are so thinly dressed, yet you still ask me."

Shen Yan waved his hand indifferently: "I have internal strength to protect my body, so I'm not afraid. You are weak, you should pay more attention. Don't fall into any serious illness, it will be bad."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and entered the room hand in hand. Under the firelight, the ice room was full of blue.Those ice cubes are densely packed and layered on top of each other, filling the huge ice room to the brim.

The ice cubes in front of me were cut squarely, like big green bricks used as steps under the small archway at the entrance of Gouwei Alley.Xiao Suo became curious, reached out his hand to tap the ice around him, felt the ice was cold and wet, and there were a few small holes on it.

"The emperor asked me to investigate the strangeness in this ice cellar, so let's start from now on." Shen Yan sighed, "This is the last ice room, and it is also the largest one. If there is any problem, it should come from here."

Xiao Suo took two steps inward, and asked: "This ice is not good, what's the problem?"

Shen Yan took out a gleaming dagger from the black leather boots, raised a hand to cut off a corner of ice, and brought it to his nose: "Smell, what's wrong?"

Xiao Suo took a deep breath, a burst of cold air rushed into his nostrils, he felt icy cold, and could not smell anything else. "It's too cold, I can't smell it. It probably won't smell until the water is melted."

Shen Yan sniffed it himself, nodded and said, "It's really not smelly. That day in the palace, the emperor gave me the frozen water, and it smelled a fishy smell."

Xiao Suo turned around and said: "This ice room is tightly sealed, and there is nothing wrong with it. I think the problem is not here. Ice can keep fresh the most, and the smell is unlikely to be picked up later. If it is said that frozen water has a peculiar smell, it is still possible.”

Shen Yan followed him around, and said: "You are right, even if a dead person freezes it with ice, it won't stink, let alone so much ice stained with stink!"

Xiao Suo gave a "hmm", shivered, and stood outside.Seeing this, Shen Yan hurried to the door, and brought the cotton bag that was blocked all around for him to hug, "Go to the door, hold this cotton to keep warm first."

"Cotton?" Xiao Suo was amazed, "Why is there cotton here, isn't it afraid that the ice will be heated?"

"You little fool!" Shen Ya laughed loudly: "This cotton is specially placed here to insulate the heat because it is afraid that the ice will melt, how could it still melt the ice!" He didn't know such a profound understanding of nature as Xiao Suo But so poor, suddenly there is a feeling of regaining the place.

Xiao Suo blushed and muttered: "Isn't it warm to wear cotton clothes in winter..."

Shen Yan rubbed his face and smiled happily: "You are such a darling, it seems that literati are really ignorant of affairs. You wear cotton-padded clothes to keep you warm in winter. The hot air cannot dissipate. The cotton insulates both heat and cold, but it itself has no temperature. If the inside is covered with ice, and the cold air cannot escape through it, it can also keep cold.”

Xiao Suo nodded embarrassingly: "You know a lot."

Shen Yan smiled and said: "It's not that I know a lot, it's just that my house also offers ice in summer, and I've seen them wrap ice in quilts. You haven't seen it before, so you don't know. If you saw it today, you'll know it later. It's nothing special."

In the past, his family was poor, and the ice in summer was worth thousands of gold, so he couldn't afford it, and he had never seen anyone transport ice.At the beginning, he worked as a counting house in the county government office, and he was also in the side room at the entrance of the government office. The county magistrate lay down in the back office room to enjoy iced drinks, so naturally he didn't have his share.

He lived in the General's Mansion this summer, but he lived in Shen Yan's main house, and occasionally he just strolled around the garden, and the servants transported ice from the back door to the mansion, and he never paid attention to it.Besides, he is weak and afraid of the cold, and can't even sleep on a jade mat, so where can he get ice?

Xiao Suo nodded his head and said: "I am indeed humble, not as good as those around you, I'm afraid I will still make jokes in the future."

Shen Yan twisted his fingers and raised his chin: "If you say such things again, you will be punished again! It's just that you haven't seen Cang Bing, who is born to have seen everything, and didn't they all see the same thing later. For this little thing , Why are you sighing, why are you feeling discouraged? Stretch out your hand!"

Xiao Suo rubbed his hands on the side of his clothes, stretched out tremblingly, closed his eyes and waited for him to slap him.He heard a crisp sound, and just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Shen Yan suddenly kissed him in the palm of his hand.

"Look at you!" Shen Yan pinched his nose with a smile, stretched out his hands and clapped his hands.

Xiao Suo knew that he was deliberately clapping his hands to scare himself just now, so he couldn't help pinching his waist, and said angrily: "The worse you are, the more you know how to play tricks on me."

"It hurts, it hurts—" Shen Yan jumped up, grinning.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Suo quickly went to lift his clothes, flicked the torch in his hand, and saw a blood mark on his waist, frowning and stomping his feet anxiously, his voice changed: "What's going on, I...I'm not, I don't……"

Shen Yan was in some pain, but it didn't hurt to the point of yelling loudly. He was just deliberately bluffing him to play, but now that he was in a hurry, he comforted him in a warm voice: "It's not you, it's not you. This is Yan Jun from yesterday. Biting, it has nothing to do with you. I’m teasing you, it doesn’t hurt at all.” He hugged him and patted him: “You’re so timid, you’re so anxious, it’s such a cold place, it’s so cold. sweat!"

Xiao Suo rubbed his fingers back and forth on the tooth marks, and murmured: "Did Yan Jun bite?"

"Yes." General Shen did not doubt him, "Yesterday I carried him on my shoulders, but he was so anxious that he bit me. He really belongs to a dog!"

Xiao Suo lay on his shoulders, turned away from him, and said calmly, "Well, then he is really blessed."

Shen Yan thought that he said that dogs are blessed, and said with a smile: "Why are you superstitious about the zodiac signs? If dogs are blessed, aren't pigs even more blessed? Are dragons born to be emperors?"

"Who says you are blessed if you belong to a dog." Xiao Suo pouted, "I mean, only those who can be carried by you and can bite you are blessed."

Shen Yan laughed, turned back and closed the door, carried him on his shoulders, and walked out all the way, saying: "I will also carry you, you are also lucky!"

Xiao Suo lay on his shoulder, with his head hanging behind, he had no choice but to bite his lean back.It's just that he didn't hurt, but he broke his tooth. "I won't bite anymore." He covered his mouth and sobbed.

After walking out of the ice room, Shen Yan swept the wind with his palm and extinguished all the candles inside.His unique skill of splitting empty palms with one hand failed to please Xiao Suo, "Why are you still sour, you really broke your teeth? Come, show me."

Xiao Suo took away his hand aggrievedly, Shen Yan parted his red thin lips, saw the two rows of white teeth inside, they were really cute, couldn't help leaning over to lick them.

"Ah, what are you doing?" Xiao Suo hurriedly dodged, his actions were too...unspeakable.

"How many times have I kissed you, are you still afraid of this?" Shen Yan played a hooligan seriously, "When you were on the bed, you called me by my name with your mouth slightly open, showing the sides of the two front teeth, like a little squirrel, I don't know How cute!"

"You—" He actually said these words in broad daylight, and said them so calmly.Xiao Suo hurriedly covered his mouth: "Stop talking, don't say any more!"

"I just said it, I said it, it's just cute, very cute!" In terms of playing rogue, no one can match Shen Wenyu, this is a skill that has been practiced since childhood.

Xiao Suo's face was flushed red, like a ripe cherry, he slapped him anxiously.It's just that the strength is too small, but it seems to be deliberately made for fun.

Shen Yan grabbed his hand and rubbed it against his lips, and said softly: "Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. I'll give you a few bites to vent your anger, okay?" He stretched out his arm, "Here, whatever you want Bite, you are also a lucky person!"

He rolled up his sleeves, the muscles on his forearms were smooth and powerful, shining delicately in the morning light.

Xiao Suo bowed his head and kissed: "Then I can't bear it!"
