    After Wangji Building, when Yu Shu's tortoise shell was half-burned, Lin Fu knocked on the door and stood outside to ask for instructions. He asked her if she had eaten breakfast and if she had anything to say.  Yu Shu squatted by the stove and said through the door: "I'm busy at hand, and I have something I want you to help me with." "Girl, please tell me." "I heard that there are live chickens in the woodshed behind you.  Look for one that often crows in the morning and has a ruddy crown. Leave a bowl of chicken blood ready for me. I will take it with me when I go back. " Lin Fu didn't ask her what she wanted the chicken blood for, so he just took the order for a quarter of a second.  He came back immediately and said it was ready, so Yu Shu asked him to go about his business.  Perhaps because of the strong fire, this tortoise board burned faster. Yu Shu sweated on his forehead. Looking at the cracks, he hurriedly picked it up and brought it in front of him to study. There was a small study in the partition of her house, which was full of calligraphy.  So I wrote down the hexagrams, took them apart and put them together, and finally got some insights.  "It looks like he's going south," Yu Shu murmured to himself, putting the discarded tortoise shell aside, and wrote down a few places in the south of the city that he might go to on paper. He couldn't stop writing.  .  The area to the south was quite large. The south of the city was also the south, and the south of the Yangtze River was also the south. She couldn't help but wonder if Jing Chen had left Anling and returned to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi.  With this thought, Yu Shu couldn't help but feel ashamed. If someone really returned to Longhu Mountain, what would she be looking for?  "Girl, the lily and seabass soup has been cooked in the kitchen, and the servant has brought it to you." Voices came from outside the door. There were two maids in Wangji Building. The one who spoke slowly was Xiaodie, and the one who spoke quickly was Xiaoqing.  Yu Shu put down the pen and paper and went to open the door. He saw Xiaoqing holding a wooden tray with a pink-green glazed porcelain bowl on it. There was a small cluster of plum blossoms painted on the top, which was very delicate. There was another one of the same color on the side.  On a small plate, put a little chive foam.  Xiaoqing put the handkerchief on and handed the bowl to Yu Shu's hand, opened the lid, and said, "Be careful of burning your mouth." Yu Shu smelled the fish aroma and tasted two spoonfuls. It was really delicious.  After drinking half the bowl, she suddenly put down her spoon and asked Xiaoqing: "This fish soup seems to cost twenty taels of silver on the menu." Xiaoqing said: "No, this Songjiang perch was only made yesterday morning.  The ones delivered are fresh, and only twenty of them are kept in the fish tank. "Yu Shu sighed and said, "I'll tell the kitchen later. I don't have to spend a lot of time steaming snacks and making soup every time I come back. I just bring tea.  " She came to help Xue Rui, not to enjoy herself. Last time I ate only seventeen or eighty taels of those snacks. If this continues, she will lose hundreds of taels before even opening the business. ???????????? It would be fine if she opened this restaurant, and she could eat as she pleased, but now she is also a part-time worker, not the boss.  Xiaoqing looked embarrassed and said, "I don't know, girl, but this is what the shopkeeper told you to do. When you are here, just serve the soup and delicious food. Don't neglect it." Yu Shu frowned and said, "Go and find Lao Lin.  , I said to him. "Yu Shu originally thought that Lin Fu was offering her such delicious food and drinks just to please her. Unexpectedly, when Lin Fu was called over, he actually explained: "The girl misunderstood, this is all due to the young master.  Otherwise, the young man would not dare to make his own decisions. "Yu Shu was speechless. She couldn't help but feel that Xue Rui's approach was very useful. On the contrary, she felt that he was being taken advantage of.  Lin Fu knew from the look on Yu Shu's face that she didn't want to do this. He rolled his eyes and said, "Girl, you don't have to mind. This dish is expensive, and our actual cost is less than 30%. Besides, the chef makes it  If you try every dish, if there are any shortcomings, it can be improved, right?" Yu Shu couldn't tell that he was talking about the situation, but it was not appropriate for her to embarrass them about Xue Rui's instructions, she thought.  She still had to talk to Xue Rui in person, so she let them go down.  He went back and took the cracked turtle board, and sat on the soft chair under the glass window, lost in thought.  "Dong dong" There was a knock on the door outside. Yu Shu thought it was Xiaodie Xiaoqing who came to bring tea, and said "come in". After a moment, he realized something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw the figure of Mr. Xue standing at the door of the small study.  She hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Why are you here now? I just have something to tell you." Xue Rui put one hand behind his back, looked at her, and said: "There is news about Young Master Jing." "Pop.  With a click, the tortoise shell in Yu Shu's hand fell to the ground. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there any news? Where is he?"  She picked up the tortoise shell on the ground, turned around and sat on the soft chair she had just sat on, and said: "On the early morning of the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month two years ago, someone from the guard at Xuanqing Gate in the south of the city saw a young man in white clothes leaving the city, carrying a  He seems to be carrying some sharp weapon. It sounds like he is probably Jing Shaoxia. I have sent people to inquire along the way outside the city, but I don't know which direction he went. It will be difficult to find him. " Yu Shu's expression changed after hearing this.  Second, it was the morning when she discovered that Jing Chen was missing. The only thing missing with him was the rusty sword. In this way, if the city gate guard sawIt was indeed Jing Chen, so did he leave the city and Anling that day? Yu Shu didn't hear a word of what Xue Rui said next, and only one thought was left in his mind - Jing Chen, that heartless bastard  He left her and ran back to Longhu Mountain. Xue Rui watched Yu Shu's face change again and again, obviously not listening to his words. He narrowed his eyes, raised the turtle shell in his hand, and knocked her on the forehead.  Yu Shu recovered from the pain, covered his forehead and raised his head, looking at Xue Rui dissatisfied, "Why are you beating me?"  It¡¯s easy for someone to track him down.¡± Yu Shu pursed her lips and said inwardly, ¡°It¡¯s been almost half a month since I left. Can I still find him?¡± It would be better if she knew which family Jing Chen belonged to in Longhu Mountain.  Fortunately, the worst she could do was find him at the mountain gate and ask him for an explanation as to why she left without saying a word. The key was that she had no idea where he came from.  Xue Rui could hear the sadness in her words, and said in a calm voice: "I don't care whether you can find him or not, but since I promised to help you find the person, I will definitely look for him. Unless you don't want to find him anymore, tell me now.  It saves me the trouble." Yu Shu was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "It should be heading south, towards Shanxi."  You stay here, the tailor will be here later. By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?" He didn't listen to her answer after asking. He looked down and saw that Ren Hun'er had gone somewhere, and he sighed secretly.  , raised his hand and patted her shoulder lightly.  When Yu Shu thought of him again, the person who raised his head had disappeared.  Sitting back on the soft chair, she raised her head and leaned on the back of the chair. She thought about it again and again. She gradually came back to her senses and felt that Jing Chen would not just leave.  But where will he go after he leaves the city? The tailor came not long after, bringing with him samples of various fabrics and two thick atlases. Yu Shu followed them to measure his height and measurements, and dealt with it absently.  Then, listening to them talking about the most fashionable styles at the moment, I picked up the picture album and flipped through a few pages. Occasionally, a yellow charm floated out and fell to the ground. A tailor hurriedly bent down to pick it up, blew it carefully, and said to Yu Shu in embarrassment.  : "Girl, I was surprised. Yesterday I went to the temple to ask for a talisman. When I came back, I put it here and forgot to take it out." Yu Shu looked at the yellow talisman, his mind was excited, his eyes lit up, and he handed them the picture album without saying a word.  He lifted up his skirt and rushed out.  "Eh? Girl, girl?" The two tailors looked at each other, wondering why this person suddenly ran away.  Yu Shu ran for two streets before he hired a new and not old carriage. He waved his hand and gave him a piece of silver: "Go to the south of the city, Shengyun Temple." After getting on the carriage, Yu Shu was a little out of breath and stroked his hand.  He held his chest to calm his breathing, finally regaining his composure, and slapped his thigh again, with an annoyed look on his face.  The tailor reminded her that she had been looking for Jingchen for half a month, but she only went to a few places in the city that he recognized, such as Peiren Hall and Huixing Street, but she forgot that she also took him out of the city once.  It is the Shengyun Temple in the south of the city.  If Jing Chen did not return to Longhu Mountain, if he left the city through the south gate, then he might have gone there. Yu Shu was very nervous along the way. She was afraid that she would not be able to find anyone when she arrived.  I really don¡¯t know where the others are.  The carriage ran for a long way, and Yu Shu got out of the car and passed by in front of the city gate. He got on the carriage and continued walking. The outside of the city was bumpy and swaying until it reached a small slope at the foot of Shengyun Temple. The carriage had not stopped yet. Yu Shu  He couldn't wait to jump down, attracting the attention of several pilgrims on the roadside.  Yu Shu inquired around first. She knew that if Jing Chen regained his memory, he would definitely avoid the crowd to avoid harming others. However, if he had been here before, someone might have seen him.  The Taoist priests in this temple were aloof and did not like to deal with people. Yu Shu had to ask questions one by one in a friendly manner, but found nothing. He had seen many white-clothed pilgrims, but Jing Chen was so outstanding in appearance and had so many things in his hands.  Sword, but not one.  Yu Shu searched more and more urgently. After leaving the Taoist temple, she headed into the nearby woods. It was a large field with a radius of more than ten miles and was overgrown with weeds. She searched around the outside of the Taoist temple and then went further away. At first, she could still see  We met a few woodcutters. Later, as the sun set and the sky gradually darkened, there was no one around, and the crows occasionally sounded.  Yu Shu was afraid that Jing Chen was deliberately avoiding her, so she didn't dare to shout loudly. She only hated that her legs were not long enough, so she stepped up her pace, but because she ran too fast, she fell twice on the low ground and scratched the skin on her hands.  She didn't notice it, but when she heard the faint howling of wolves in the distance, she was shocked to realize that it was getting dark.  The cold wind blew, waking her up a little, and she shivered. She turned back and looked at the way she came, but she saw the shadows of towering trees and the shadows of birds flying by. In the darkness, she didn't know where she was now.  Fortunately, she was still calm. She looked up at the dim stars in the sky, identified north and south, stood there for a moment, and then chose a path to return with a heavy heart.  .
