Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 91: Gold and Iron Horse
Chapter 1: Floating Life
In the quiet and peaceful spring afternoon, the sun's fine speckled shadows sprinkled from the gaps in the leaves, the breeze in the mountains blew through the branches, the leaves rustled, and the light and shadow on the ground also danced rhythmically.

In a quiet bamboo house, Su Mi was sitting leisurely at the table, putting her finger on the wrist of a middle-aged woman with a round face and slender eyebrows in plain clothes. After a while, she smiled and said, "Sister Pei is fine. It’s a big problem, it must be because I ate something too hot a few days ago, so that the blood is not smooth. I’ll just prescribe a few medicinal materials for disinfection and fire.”

After hearing Su Mi's words, the middle-aged woman felt relieved, and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good, I can be relieved. It's really thanks to the sister of the Gu family."

Then she complained about her husband who was the culprit, "Let me just say, the Laoshizi pheasant that was caught last time didn't look like a chicken no matter how it was born, how can there be a chicken of that color in the world? We The guy at home just came up with fresh energy, and asked me to pack it up and cook it. It tastes good, but now there is such a disaster, if I knew that I would rather let it go, it would be considered good deeds. It is strange to say Yes, but he is in good health, there is nothing wrong with him, only my stomach hurts for several days, what a pity." She rambled.

Su Mi smiled and said: "It's not that Brother Pei's body is strong, it's just because he is a man, eating these extremely hot things doesn't hurt his body, but it has the effect of strengthening his body. Yin, after eating such a hot thing, the stasis is difficult to dissipate, which is not conducive to blood, so some discomfort."

The sister-in-law of the Pei family was stunned for a while when she heard it, and then she smiled and said: "The words of you scholars are all well-mannered. I am a village woman in the mountains, and I can't understand anything. Alas, you people in the city are more powerful." Ah. Not only does he have a good appearance, but he is also very capable. He looks like the gentleman in your family. He looks gentle and elegant. At first, everyone thought he must be a scholar who read and wrote poetry. Who knows, following everyone I went into the forest, my God! The first day I hunted more prey than we had in ten days..."

To the northwest of Daqi's capital city are continuous low mountains and hills. The place where Su Mi and Qi Hao are currently staying is a small village near this mountain, which is about a day's journey away from the capital city.

The village is located in the deep mountains and old forests, it is extremely hidden, and there are only dozens of families in the whole village, the land is barren, and they usually rely on hunting in the mountains for a living.

Although the lives of dozens of families are poor, they get along in harmony and harmony, just like a family.Because of poverty, except for the yamen secretary who comes to collect taxes every few days, it is rare for relatives to go around, almost isolated from the world.It is a monthly market, and the hunters will go down the mountain to sell the things they hunt, and buy some daily necessities for their homes by the way.

Although there was no news in the mountains, they also knew about the Liao army's destruction of the city. Qi Hao and Su Mi claimed that they were from the capital.Now I have a home and can't go back, so I have to find a place to live in a nearby mountain village for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it.

The villagers in the mountains are simple and sincere, and both Su Mi and Qi Hao are born like gods, which makes people feel close and envious all their lives.The two lived here for the time being.

It's just that Su Mi felt embarrassed when she heard Pei's sister-in-law keep saying "husband" and "lady", and a blush appeared on her face unconsciously, so she forced a smile and said, "Let sister-in-law Pei laugh gone."

"It's not a joke, I should have seen it, such a skill, such a talent," Pei's sister-in-law sighed: "To be honest, I have never seen such a symbolic figure as you, Gu's sister, in my whole life. You are like a fairy in the sky, and only someone like your husband can match you."

Su Mi smiled politely. She pretended to be husband and wife with Qi Hao here, and it always felt a little awkward to be mentioned like this.

While talking, Su Mi picked up the brush and started to swipe on the paper, writing the prescription in just a few strokes.

At this time, if someone saw this prescription, they would probably be shocked. What she wrote on the prescription was not words, but a few lifelike pictures.

Most of the Orion families in these mountains are illiterate. Su Mi still remembers the first time she gave them a prescription, the old man who took the prescription even knocked down the prescription, and she immediately realized that this was not right. Well, besides, the common people in the mountains live in poverty, and the transportation is inconvenient. How can they go to the pharmacy at the foot of the mountain to get medicine in time?

As soon as she had an idea, she thought of the current idea.

The village is backed by mountains, and there are many natural medicinal plants and trees in the mountains.So she simply drew the appearance and characteristics of those medicinal herbs on the paper, and then carefully explained the environment where their medicinal materials might grow, so that the hunters could find out according to the picture.Going back and forth again, the effect is not small.

That day, when Qi Hao came back and saw her unique prescriptions, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Nowadays, doctors are as versatile as you, so they don't have to rely on collecting herbs to treat diseases for a living."

She is outstanding in pen and ink skills, with a few strokes, all kinds of herbs are depicted vividly, and the elves are dialysis.

Su Mi picked up the paper, dried the ink, and handed it to Mrs. Pei.

The sister-in-law of the Pei family took it over gratefully, and said, "It's really thanks to the younger sister of the Gu family." She wanted to take out some money.

Su Mi hurriedly stopped her and Qi Hao from fleeing this time, they were well-prepared, and naturally they carried a lot of silver tickets and gold, which was enough for the two of them to live.These hunters in the mountains live a poor life, and the money is not easy to come by, so of course they can't ask for it anymore.

"I haven't thanked you for the work that Brother Pei helped us last time, so I don't need to see you. Besides, I didn't provide medicinal materials, so I still have to rely on Brother Pei to go to the mountains and work hard."

Seeing Su Mi's resolute refusal, Mrs. Pei stopped being polite and left.

After seeing off the last patient, seeing that there would be nothing else to do this afternoon, Su Mi stood up, bored, and simply walked to the back of the house to relax.

The two have lived in this mountain for more than two months, and now the northern part of Daqi has already bloomed in spring, and life is everywhere.

They live temporarily in a bamboo house located at the west end of the village, with three small houses and a small yard surrounded by fences. Although it is simple, it has a simple and elegant folk style.

Daqi has been fighting for years in recent years. He has recruited a lot of soldiers in various places, and his household registration has decreased. Like this small village in the mountains, there are also several vacant houses without owners. According to folk customs, such houses are all owned by the village. The middleman was quite generous, since it was vacant anyway, so he borrowed it for this newly arrived young couple.

Behind the house is a small bamboo forest, further south is a small stream flowing down from the mountain, it is quiet and elegant, Su Mi likes it very much.

The afternoon sun shines through the variegated leaves. Looking up, the weather is very good, with deep and shallow white clouds piled up on the blue sky. The sun in late spring has begun to shine brightly, but the climate in the mountains is still refreshing and comfortable. .Occasionally, the fine wind that blows around me brings the unique coolness of the mountains, which is refreshing.

The dense bamboos and trees around are all green like running water, and the orchid grass is overgrown under the feet, and the stream flowing through the forest is like flowing beads of jade, making a calm sound, and there is a breeze and green scenery in the distance.No wonder the ancients often said that "the green bamboos by the stream are greener, and the autumn wind under the pines is clearer."

Compared with the landscape pattern that is quietly decorated and arranged in the palace, the naturally growing trees and streams are more vibrant and lovable.

Su Mi strolled in the forest, and her mind could not help but drift back to the time when she just came here two months ago.

In the beginning, the two of them were helpless when it came to the self-supporting life in the mountains. As a prince, Qi Haogui had always been well-clothed and well-fed. In these small life matters, only others have always served him, and he has never done it himself.Su Mi also came from a noble family. When she was in her adoptive father's house, her family took care of her in every possible way. She never had the chance to live alone, let alone in the palace. Even if she had been a palace maid for a while, The palace is also beautiful, and the bed is made up.Some housework is acceptable, but no self-made experience.

In particular, neither of them can cook!
Therefore, life at the beginning was a mess, and many jokes were made.Fortunately, with the help of nearby villagers, I gradually got used to it.

Every time Su Mi thinks of the ugliness of the two of them at that time, she can't help laughing, and there will be a kind of sweetness in her heart.

Although the two of them would not be short of food and clothing even if they didn't do anything, but being idle every day was a kind of torture, and the two of them always had to find something to do.

After the days stabilized, Qi Hao began to follow the crowd into the mountains to hunt,
After living for less than half a month, the grandson of an elder in the village fell ill. It was midnight, and everyone in the village was helpless. Su Mi, who happened to meet at the meeting, was of great help. After a few injections, the dying The child turns around.The whole village immediately looked at this young couple with admiration, although Qi Hao's hunting skills had already surprised them before.

So, in her spare time, Su Mi opened a clinic to practice medicine in the bamboo house, and the "marital life" of the two of them was pretty decent.

Su Mi crossed to the side of the stream, the clear water spread over the rocks, and flowed westward along the low-lying terrain, occasionally a piece or two of flower petals floated on the water, drifting away along the current, for Ming Che to see. The stream at the bottom adds a bit of dynamic beauty.

Su Mi stretched her hand into the water, feeling the refreshing pleasure brought by the water flow, a happy and reassuring smile floated on the corner of her mouth.

Feeling naughty, seeing no one on the left and right, he simply removed his shoes and socks, went down into the water, and let the clear water caress his delicate feet.

Tired of standing, she found another clean and smooth rock to sit down, took a deep breath of the unique refreshing mountain air, and closed her eyes comfortably...

No wonder the ancients often said that stealing a floating life has half a day's leisure.

She was quietly enjoying this rare tranquility in a floating life. At this time, there was a sound of "fluttering" like a bird falling to the ground behind her, interrupting her leisurely and peaceful dream.

Su Mi sighed softly, opened her eyes, and stood up.

In the past two months, if it wasn't for this voice reminding her from time to time, this extremely comfortable and leisurely life almost made Su Mi think that she had forgotten the time, identity, and past life, and just melted into this piece of land. The flowers bloom and fall from the silent peace.

After all, he was just stealing half a day's leisure.

She turned around and walked quickly into the bamboo forest. A pure white carrier pigeon was staying at the back door of the bamboo house, looking around with its head poking around, occasionally making two "coo-coo" calls and flapping its wings.

Su Mi picked it up, took out the secret letter attached to her feet, and unfolded it.
