Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

The rain finally stopped at midnight, and a full moon appeared in the water-washed night sky, illuminating half of the sky spotlessly, covering the distant mountains and near water in light blue light.

In the legend of Yu State, the moon phase is the shadow cast by the shadow of the sun in the sky. It is different from the sun. The brighter it is, the colder it is. Cool, thin ice formed on the surface of the puddle.

At night like this, people always need warmth, especially those who sleep in the open.

Indus held a jug of wine in his hand.

As soon as she stepped into the ruined temple in the east of the city, she walked all the way to the deepest point, dug up the soft ground, and dug out a few jugs from the mud.

She held the cold jar in her hands, as excited as if she was hugging a stove, and after being intoxicated for a while, she handed the rest of the jug to the other two.

"Drink to warm up your body too."

Lu Dongqing and Lu Zhengqiu came after her, and as soon as they entered the temple gate, they smelled the aroma of wine.

Lu Zhengqiu said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that you really prepared a banquet."

Wutong smiled: "Of course, I have always been a trustworthy person."

Lu Dongqing took the jug she handed over, but felt a little guilty in her heart. The surface of the gray-brown clay pot was covered with wet soil, and there was a unique rotten smell in the mud, reminiscent of yellow fallen leaves. and dead autumn insects.

But after all, he was still very thirsty, his whole body was drenched by the rain, and the cold air drilled down his spine into his head. At this time, the aroma of wine was really an irresistible temptation.

He uncorked the pot, raised his head and took a sip.Contrary to his expectation, the taste of this wine was not only not cloudy, but mellow and thick, with a long and smooth taste, as if a warm flow flowed through his throat, making his whole body transparent.

This is Wutong's favorite wine, she specially bought it and buried it in the temple, just to deal with the current situation.

The wine tasted like her person, with a strong energy hidden under the rough and vulgar exterior.And after Lie Jiner, there is still a mysterious and profound taste, which is incomprehensible, but you can't help tasting it again and again.

She is really an extraordinary woman.

Lu Zhengqiu looked at her, and while sipping his wine unhurriedly, he said: "Girl, there are three of us, but you have hidden four jars of wine. This is really not your style."

Wu Tong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your intuition is very accurate, the remaining jar is not wasted, but is reserved for my beggar friend."

Not long after she finished speaking, her beggar friend came.

He was a true beggar who looked like a real beggar, his eyes lit up when he saw wine, he immediately rubbed his dirt-covered fingers, took out half a roast chicken from his greasy pocket, and drank while drinking. eat up.

He gulped down his wine and chewed his meat as if the two were the best food in the world.

The way the beggar eats is as unrestrained as his hair, but Wutong doesn't care much, and even pats him on the back: "Good brother, eat slowly, don't choke."

The beggar took a bite of the chicken bone, threw it aside, and said, "Brother, I'm full. I'm here to report to you. I've found out what you want to know."

Indus looked at him with a smile: "You say."

The beggar wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "You guessed right before, Ding Guojun really came to Huai'an City."

Wutong raised his eyebrows: "Who is the bright eye this time?"

The beggar said: "It is said that the sect deposed by the ban on military affairs has the tendency of embers to revive, so I came here specially to investigate. These days, there are always soldiers on horseback patrolling the streets, looking in every window, even if Hearing the sound of kitchen knives being sharpened, they all rushed in and questioned what happened. The city gates in the four directions also sent additional manpower, and businessmen and travelers came and went to check, not only checked the bags, but even took off their hats and headscarves."

Wutong frowned: "What about the other cities?"

The beggar said again: "Although I didn't go there in person, I heard that this is probably the case. Boss, have you ever been in the business of selling knives in private? It's better to restrain yourself recently."

Wutong nodded: "Thank you, I understand, by the way, you can take all this wine away, remember to drop the jar after drinking."

The beggar was startled for a moment, and his eyes lit up quickly: "I understand, kill the chicken to get the eggs, kill the chicken to get the eggs, thank you brother." He bowed several times and walked happily towards the door, shaking the bottle in his hand back and forth when he left. Shaking out the crashing sound of coins, I was satisfied.

After the beggar walked away, Lu Zhengqiu also walked to the door and said, "I planned to investigate the matter of the national army, but I didn't expect you to send someone to investigate."

Wu Tong turned to look at him and said, "Since I want to take you away, of course I have to be fully prepared."

Lu Zhengqiu met her gaze, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the deal with selling knives in private?"

Indus chuckled lightly and said, "When I inquire about information in every place, I will make up different rhetoric, so that others will only remember my money and not others, so that they will not betray me."

Although she smiled, there was a bit of helplessness in her smile.

Lu Zhengqiu leaned against the door frame and said indifferently: "Then, do you have something to say to us?"

Although his tone was flat, what he said was like a thunderbolt, which made Wutong's face stiff.

She blinked and found that Lu Dongqing was also looking at her not far away.

She sighed softly and said: "Master Zhengqiu, Dongqing, I will show you something."

As he spoke, he took out two copper bells from the bottom of his sleeve.

The two couldn't help being surprised, this simple and exquisite bell was exactly the weapon that Wutong was good at, and helped her out of danger several times.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Wu Tong said: "You must find it very strange, but..." She shook out the hidden filaments in the bell and handed them to the two respectively.

Lu Dongqing pinched the end of the thread, twirled it with her fingertips, and said in surprise: "This is just the most common spinning thread."

Wutong nodded and said: "That's right, it's neither iron chains nor vines, it's just the most common spinning thread, which can be torn apart with a little force."

Even so, the spinning thread in her hands was stronger than iron, Lu Dongqing had seen it with her own eyes.

Wutong saw his doubts, and continued: "I manipulate these strings, relying entirely on my own internal strength." After that, he raised his wrist, revealing the small hole behind the bell, which is the entrance of her air .

Lu Dongqing frowned and said: "This approach is very dangerous. Firstly, it will consume a lot of money. Secondly, if someone counteracts..."

Wutong nodded and said: "That's right, this is my fatal flaw. If someone restrains me and injects spiritual power back, I can easily burn my meridians and qi."

Lu Dongqing said: "Why did you tell me your flaws?"

Wutong said: "You are a genius doctor, you know my physical condition, and there are very few exercises that I can practice. The rope exercise in this bell is a choice that I have no choice. If I deceive you, you can do it." Counterattack on the spot, even if it takes my life."

Lu Dongqing immediately understood what she meant. She really had no choice but to exchange honesty for trust.

He nodded and said: "Understood, I will go with you."

Lu Zhengqiu clapped his hands from the side: "Oh, it seems that I still have to continue to disguise along the way."

Wu Tong was startled, and then smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid you will have to wear this skirt for a while."

Lu Dongqing was surprised: "Do you want to continue?"

Lu Zhengqiu turned his head to look at him: "Silly boy, I didn't ask you to wear a skirt, why are you nervous?"

"I..." Lu Dongqing's face burned, "I'm afraid Master will be tired."

Wutong immediately moved to his side, raised a finger, and said solemnly: "Young man Dongqing, this is why you are ignorant. A woman's skirt is much more comfortable than a man's underwear."

"Really?" Lu Dongqing blinked, and couldn't help turning her inquiring gaze to Master.

The master nodded at him, and said: "If one day, the world changes, it's better to establish a new rule of the rivers and lakes, so that men can wear skirts to go out."

Lu Dongqing looked at Master's smiling eyes, and at Wutong's uncontrollable amused expression, only then did she realize that she had been teased again by the two of them.

He sighed and shook his head.

It seems that along the way in the future, I probably have no peace to enjoy.
