    ?

    Qin Muxue now looks the same age as Rong Shaoyang, a young man in his early twenties, his childishness has faded, and he is elegant and delicate in a black robe.  He lazily leaned against the door, squinting at Chuyao who was in the courtyard.

    Chuyao bent over the medicine and carefully picked the tender petals in the middle of the crabapple. This was something she had to do every morning.  Because when the flowers bloom in the early morning, the petals taken have the best beauty effect.

    The sun's blush slowly covered the mountain, and the golden morning light shone on Chuyao's body, creating a hazy halo. Her fair and delicate cheeks seemed to be painted with gorgeous rouge.

    Qin Muxue squinted his eyes, and unconsciously raised a smile on his lips. The morning light fell on him, and there was warmth in his eyes.

    Unlike Rong Shaoyang, he was already at the age of memory when he was brought to the valley by his senior brother. He was brought back by his senior brother when he was still a baby.  Yexia Valley buys ingredients from the farmers at the foot of the mountain, and he has no contact with other people.

    So it was a long, long time later that he realized why he smiled naturally at that time.

    The days are spent in Ye He's recovery day by day, and the beautiful and quiet time will never last too long. When Chuyao sat in the courtyard and watched the full moon count the time, Rong Shaoyang walked behind her.

    "I did what I promised you." Rong Shaoyang leaned on the stone pillar of the gazebo, the moonlight shone on him brightly, and the bright moonlight fell on the white clothes, which shimmered like fine jade, and the sleeves of his clothes fluttered with the evening wind.

    Chu Yao was stunned for a moment, she knew what Rong Shaoyang was talking about, when Rong Shaoyang promised to help her mother detoxify and protect their mother and daughter, it was because of the map in her hand.

    What he meant now was to leave the Night Cloud Valley and find the location of the map.

    Chuyao turned around and looked up at Rong Shaoyang. The ease of the past few days almost gave her the illusion that she could be trusted and had a heart-to-heart relationship. In fact, they were just a deal.

    "It's not on me, it's in the Chunyi Tower." That day, she decided to let go of things, and planned to let go of everything in Fengzhou. Song Yanming was dead, and she thought that the map was useless to her, and it was only buried in Chunyi.  Under the flowerbed upstairs.

    At that time, she never thought that Rong Shaoyang came to Fengzhou to find this map.

    "I will leave tomorrow. You can stay in the Night Cloud Valley until your mother recovers. I will send someone to pick you up when you leave the valley." Rong Shaoyang turned around and left the gazebo, his clothes smelling like flowers.

    Looking at his thin and straight back, Chuyao's eyes darkened.

    Sure enough, Rong Shaoyang was nowhere to be seen early the next morning. Qin Muxue took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and muttered dissatisfiedly, "That brat came and went silently, and didn't say hello when he left."

    Although he often finds fault with Rong Shaoyang, Chuyao knows that he is reluctant to leave him in his heart, perhaps because he has been lonely in this valley for too long.

    Since then, Chuyao has been doing nothing more and more, and her mother can get out of bed and walk. It can be seen that she likes this place very much, it is quiet and undisturbed, and there are many exotic flowers and plants.  Chu Yao occasionally thought that it would be nice if he could stay like this.

    "Come here." Seeing her in a daze in the flower garden, Qin Muxue beckoned her to come over.

    Chuyao got up and walked over. Qin Muxue handed her a book with a yellowed cover, and said, "I think you can learn a little bit, and you have a bit of wisdom. Here's to you."

    Chuyao took the book, looked at the Qihuang Shushu on the cover, and looked up at Qin Muxue in doubt.  She has helped Qin Muxue collect and decoct medicine these days, and she has indeed mastered some medical skills, but why did he give her this Qihuang technique?

    "I see you have nothing to do, I'll find something for you to do." Qin Muxue turned and entered the room without saying much.

    Chu Yao was not interested in this, and the terminology in the book was only half understood.  However, speaking of it, many years later, she was able to escape death, thanks to the idle afternoon in the Evening Clouds Valley and the spell book used to pass the time.  Of course, this is mostly something to say.

    The days were lost day by day in the rising and setting of the sun. In a blink of an eye, she came to the Valley of Night Clouds for more than a month, and her mother's body was almost healed.

    "Chuyao, come here." Qin Muxue called her with a smile. Usually, at this time, it is likely that he has developed some novel poison or beauty product.

    However, this time is different.

    Chuyao opened her eyes and looked at the completely unfamiliar person in the mirror. Don¡¯t be surprised. When she first came here, she heard Qin Muxue talk about making human skin masks, but she had never actually seen him do it.  think

    A thin, veil-like skin covered her face, concealing her beautiful appearance, and replaced it with a face that was more than beautiful but not enough.  It fit perfectly, without any discomfort, as if she wasWith such a beauty, Chu Yao caressed her face in disbelief.

    "How is it? Great, isn't it?" Qin Muxue was a little proud.  He has been making and researching human skin masks for many years, but unfortunately there is no complete record in the book left by his senior brother. In the past, he was not able to make large facial movements when wearing them. After his painstaking research, he finally made a human that can fit perfectly.  leather mask.

    Still in surprise, Chu Yao nodded blankly.

    "I'll give this to you. Remember to use sulfur water when you take it off." Qin Muxue was still admiring her masterpiece around her, and suddenly thought: "By the way, it seems that there is no rice at home. You can take some medicinal materials from the yard.  Take this with you to exchange rice with the farmers at the foot of the mountain, and make sure they won¡¯t find out that they¡¯ve seen you.¡±

    Chuyao often thinks about fate, and sometimes she can't hide it. When she thought everything would be peaceful, it pushed her into an even more turbulent torrent.

    Qin Muxue gave her the antidote to the venom in the valley, and she also mastered some illusions, so the way down the mountain was much easier than that day, and within an hour and a half, she reached the foot of the mountain.

    Her appearance is quite different from before, but it is also convenient to do things first, unlike when everyone was staring at her that day.

    After walking down the mountain for a while, I found a wealthy family. Just as I raised my hand to knock on the door, the door opened automatically.  The people inside were carrying packages and hurried out.

    "Ma'am, I think" Chuyao grabbed a village woman who was looking out.

    Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted: "Girl, there is a war, the bandits are here, run for your life!" After saying this, the village woman broke away from Chuyao's hand and ran away in a hurry.

    A month ago, He Ling wrote in a letter saying that Meng and Yan were going to fight, but he didn't expect it to be so chaotic now.  Chuyao looked at the messy traces in the yard, shook his head and sighed, he had better check to see if there was any rice, and go back to the valley as soon as possible, stepped into the house, and walked to the back kitchen.

    There was still some rice in the rice jar, so Chuyao bent down to scoop out the rice from the rice jar.

    Suddenly there was a sound of messy footsteps outside, and a rough curse sounded: "Damn it, everyone has run away, and there is nothing of value! Quick, go over there and have a look!"

    The sound of footsteps approaching, Chuyao secretly thought that it was not good, lifted the corner of her skirt and stepped into the rice vat, squatting down to cover the lid.

    Yan and Mongolia were at war, and the stragglers gathered as rogues and robbed the nearby villages. There were a lot of these rogues, and they feared nothing. If they were discovered, they would be punished.

    She held her breath, strained her ears to listen, her footsteps were getting closer and closer, and she stopped under the rice vat, her heart was instantly suspended in her throat.

    Then I only heard the man spit, his footsteps were outward, and he was cursing.

    Chuyao heaved a sigh of relief, and waited for everyone to leave in the rice jar before flipping the lid up and walking out of the kitchen cautiously.

    Unexpectedly, someone returned, and Chu Yao quickly hid behind the door.

    "Who is it? Come out!" A bearded man walked to the kitchen door with a glaring knife in his hand, and shouted when he looked down and saw a corner of the white gauze skirt exposed from the door.

    Chuyao watched him getting closer and closer from the gap, and settled down. When he came to the door, she pushed the door hard, and when the man was knocked down by the door panel, she rushed out.

    The man got up from the ground and chased after Chuyao with a knife. Before Chuyao ran out of the compound, his big hand grabbed her by the hair and dragged him in.

    "Little girl, let's see where you are going to escape!" The bearded rogues grabbed her hair and piled them together with a wicked smile on their faces.

    "Hu Fatty, why are you still inside!" A voice outside shouted loudly.

    "Brother Hu, there's a chick inside!" Fatty Hu dragged Chuyao's hair out, walking in front of a tall and thin middle-aged man.

    The man named Brother Hu smiled, and patted Hu Fatty on the shoulder: "Not bad, you boy!"

    "Brother Hu, what do we do with this girl, or should we have sex?" Fatty Hu stalked Chuyao back and forth with a pair of thieves' eyes.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
