The mist dissipated and the sun poured out. Yi Han and his group walked slowly along the winding forest path. The mountains on both sides stand tall and majestic, with peaks overlapping each other, sparkling in the sun. The eldest senior brother walked in the front, followed by Senior Sister Mu, the second senior brother walked side by side with her carriage, and the youngest junior sister's carriage followed closely behind Senior Sister Mu. Yi Han was the last one to leave. The second senior brother in front was chatting idly with the carriage of senior sister Mu on his left. As if the topic had run out, he suddenly asked with great concern: "Junior sister, are you thirsty?" Senior Sister Mu's words came from the carriage: "Not thirsty." "Then junior sister, you must be hungry, right? I brought your favorite osmanthus cake!" The second senior brother was persistent and diligent. He hurriedly took out the cake from the horse's back and handed it to the car window. "Thank you, Second Brother. I'm a little hungry." Senior Sister Mu stretched out her delicate jade hand.
The second brother was stunned at first, his face full of disbelief, then he was overjoyed and hurriedly handed the pastry to her. He didn't expect the sun to rise from the west today. He has always believed that as long as he is sincere and dedicated, he will be able to overcome difficulties and win the girl's heart one day. It is indeed the case today. He opened his mouth to say something else, but Senior Sister Mu pulled open the curtain on the other side, poked her head out, and called to the back: "Junior Brother Yi, come up and chat with me!" "Ah?" Yi Han was at the back, listening with great interest to his second senior brother's clever ways of pursuing his beloved. Suddenly, he heard the call like a yellow oriole leaving the valley, and was slightly startled. However, Yi Han did not intend to end his timid image, so he rode forward. Yi Han naturally knew that Senior Sister Mu was using him. In the past, she was using him as a shield, but now it was hard to say. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Second Senior Brother's fierce gaze, and Yi Han quickly lowered his head. His face was full of complaints, but he was sneering in his heart. The second brother has an erratic and indecisive temperament and has never been a gentleman, so he can be used. Since Senior Sister Mu wanted to use him, Yi Han would go with the flow and take advantage of her. Use yourself to set the trap and try to lure the second brother into it. "Senior Sister." Yi Han came to the left side of Senior Sister Mu's carriage and called out softly with a wry smile. Senior Sister Mu opened the curtain and handed out a piece of osmanthus cake: "Junior Brother Yi, come and eat together. The osmanthus cake that Second Senior Brother gave me is delicious." "Ah..." Yi Han was stunned, his face was extremely nervous, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Thank you, Senior Sister, I'm not hungry." He didn't need to go around to look, he knew that the second senior brother was gritting his teeth at this moment. "Just take it when I told you to. Do we need to be so polite to each other?" Senior Sister Mu stuffed it in front of him, with an ambiguous tone in her words. "Yes, thank you, Junior Brother." Yi Han looked helpless. He hurriedly took the pastry and put it into his mouth, not caring about the strange smell of the horsewhip stuck on his hands. "It has a soft and glutinous texture, is sweet and delicious, and has a strong osmanthus fragrance. It's so delicious!" Yi Han couldn't help but exclaimed.
Afterwards, he looked as if he had realized something, pursed his lips, and said no more. On the other side, the sound of the second brother's teeth chattering became more intense, and his breathing became heavier. A flash of pride flashed across Senior Sister Mu's eyes. She was very pleased with Yi Han's words of praise and thought they were the finishing touch. She put down her skirt and thought of Junior Brother Yi's silly look, she couldn't help laughing secretly. Yi Han asked for trouble. He lowered his head and held the reins. After his junior sister's carriage passed by, he followed behind again. Time flies, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, as if it were just a blink of an eye. At this moment, night has fallen. A few people found a place by a stream, built a fire, and prepared to rest there for the night. In the past few years, I have been out of the city working for Situ Yun and have long been accustomed to living in the open air. On the contrary, Xiao Linzi's two servants, who had never slept outdoors before, seemed uneasy and flustered, and were a little clumsy when running around for their master. Yi Han and his two senior brothers took off the saddles, took food and water and placed them in the resting place they had chosen next to the fire. Xiao Linzi and Xiao Liuzi were assigned to collect firewood. They dared not disobey and looked miserable. After a long time, someone came back with a bundle of firewood. Then he went to collect more firewood. He went back and forth four or five times before he could rest. He was exhausted. Xiao Linzi looked at Senior Sister Mu secretly with a meaningful look, but what he got was a slight shake of the head. Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, the eldest brother took out a silver needle from his bag, dipped it into the water bag for a moment, and then pricked the food with it several times. After taking a closer look at it under the firelight, he put the silver needle away. He gave an awkward laugh and started eating and drinking. The eldest brother is a righteous person, but his style of doing things is always calm and steady, and at the same time quite cautious. Several times during the journey he left his horse to rest, with the food hanging from the saddle. There is nothing wrong with checking food and water blatantly in front of everyone at this time. "Hmph, that's just a mean person's opinion!" Upon seeing this, the second senior brother mocked mercilessly, but the former did not care. Senior Sister Mu coughed twice and took out two silver needles from her bag: "Junior Sister, here's one for you." Her best junior sister, who was sitting far away from her at the moment, came over to take it, thanked her, and then sat back down. After the junior sister sat down, her brows were slightly furrowed, her face was shrouded in a layer of gloom, and she no longer had the vitality of the past. It seemed that she was extremely disappointed with everyone. He was intentionally or unintentionally standing close to Yi Han, probably because he felt that Senior Brother Yi, who was often bullied by everyone, was better. “Uh…” Seeing that Senior Sister Mu also brought a silver needle, the second senior brother’s mouth twitched slightly. He shamelessly asked Senior Sister Mu for one, then happily returned to his seat. "Junior Brother Yi, I heard that you are proficient in medicine. Don't you have any silver needles with you?" Senior Sister Mu smiled rather strangely.
"Senior sister, you are joking. I just like to read some miscellaneous books about herbs." Yi Han smiled awkwardly and sighed, "Alas, when I was sick, I still consulted the same doctor." After he finished speaking, he scratched his head and looked at his senior brother with a pleading look: "I really didn't think of bringing the silver needle with me. I wonder if you can lend it to me." Looking at Senior Sister Mu's strange smile, it would be very bad if she suddenly gave her a silver needle. From her suggestion to bring an entourage, to her sneaking into the pharmacy on the street, to her provocations along the way, it was enough to show that Senior Sister Mu had ill intentions. Yi Han didn't want to use her silver needle, as she couldn't be sure whether the other party had done anything to it. "Junior Brother Yi, I happen to have another one, you can take it." The eldest senior brother took out another one with a serious expression. "Thank you, senior brother." Yi Han took the silver needle carefully. Seeing this, Senior Sister Mu smiled faintly and said no more. Several people ate in such a strange atmosphere. Except for the second senior brother who tried to please senior sister Mu as usual, no one spoke. "Hiss~" Yi Han stood up, holding his stomach, looking like he had eaten poison. "Junior Brother Yi, what's wrong with you?" Senior Sister Mu's eyes flashed with vigilance. The others also looked over. "Senior Sister, I...I can't say it." Yi Han hesitated, not daring to speak directly. "Hmph, you'd better be sensible and tell the truth." The second brother said coldly. "Junior brother, I... maybe it's because of the osmanthus cake that senior brother gave me. I feel a little unwell and have diarrhea." Yi Han was so anxious that his tone was fast and heavy. "Asshole, don't you know we are eating?!" The second brother's eyes were burning with anger, and he spat out all the chicken in his mouth. The faces of the others also did not look very good. "Hmph! Get out of here, get away from me!" Second Brother became furious when he thought of the osmanthus cake. Yi Han said no more, covered his stomach and ran away. After Yi Han left for a while, the second senior brother suddenly stood up with a sword in his hand. Senior Sister Mu frowned: "Second Senior Brother, where are you going?" "I'll go and remind Junior Brother Yi to stay away, lest the smell blows over with the wind and affects Junior Sister's appetite." The second senior brother had a serious look on his face, and all he was thinking about was his goddess. Senior Sister Mu put down the food she was about to bite, she lost her appetite and almost vomited. Suddenly, she saw Second Senior Brother sneer with malicious intent on his face and a sword in his hand, so she stopped trying to stop him. She thought to herself: It seems that the osmanthus cake I had before was quite effective! Senior Sister Mu was filled with anticipation, and was already laughing like a goose in her heart.
