The corner of Jiang Shaoyuan's mouth hooked, and his deep-sea eyes flashed, "I like what you … did."

Shu Xiaoman lowered her head and raised her teacup. She poured it down in one mouthful. This person was really too talkative. He looked like an ice block on the outside. She didn't expect that words of affection would come out of his mouth.

"I heard that your tribulation is at the age of twenty?" Jiang Shaoyuan sat down seriously and asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Shu Xiaoman knew that he must have heard the rumors in the town.

"Yes, at the age of twenty. There's a tribulation, but it's not like what they say. If you don't pass it, you'll die. It's just that if you pass it badly, the second half of the generation will be in trouble."

Jiang Shaoyuan nodded. He didn't believe it, but seeing that Shu Xiaoman was serious for a year, he didn't say anything. He only asked, "How old are you this year?"

Shu Xiaoman smiled, "I know you're concerned about my misfortune, but isn't it good to ask a girl about her age?"

Jiang Shaoyuan didn't think of this for a moment. He just wanted to get rid of this obstacle. When Shu Xiaoman said that, Jiang Shaoyuan couldn't react and the serious mask on his face was about to shatter.

Seeing this, Shu Xiaoman couldn't stop laughing. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'm twenty years old this year. There are only two days left. I can go back to town and live when I'm twenty."

Her eyes were filled with anticipation and yearning, which made Jiang Shaoyuan's stone heart soft and hard.

"I will come up to accompany you for the next two days. Trust me, I will definitely protect you until you are twenty years old." Jiang Shaoyuan sat upright with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, I believe you."

After sitting for a while, Jiang Shaoyuan stood up with the empty teapot in his hand and prepared to go down the mountain.

When Shu Xiaoman saw the teapot, she remembered. She also stood up and said, "The lid of this teapot is slightly damaged. I haven't thought of a suitable curium nail yet, so I'll give it to you when I'm done."

"Alright."

After saying that, Jiang Shaoyuan didn't know where Assistant Zhang came from and went down the mountain together.

Shu Xiaoman stood in front of the observation gate and watched them descend the mountain. Her gaze followed Jiang Shaoyuan's figure downwards, causing a strange feeling to arise in her heart.

The old master was never stingy and stingy with Shu Xiaoman's education, so Shu Xiaoman had her own understanding of the relationship between men and women. However, when the words in the book came to reality, they actually became so aggressive that she was caught off guard.

She thought that this kind of love had come too quickly. She only met Jiang Shaoyuan this morning. She didn't even know who he was or how many people in her family had fallen in love with him so directly. Moreover, she didn't have any regrets or regrets. Her heart was filled with sweetness. Perhaps this was the compensation that the heavens had given her to endure the calamity.

If that was the case, then I would really be grateful to the heavens for this compensation.

Shu Xiaoman couldn't see anything until she turned around and took out Jiang Shaoyuan's shirt. She took the saponin horn and carefully washed it in the stream at the back of the mountain. It took her three times her usual time, but she still enjoyed it.

After washing, he quickly hung up in the backyard and waited for the sun to dry. This process was too long, just like a girl waiting for her beloved lover. Shu Xiaoman was frightened by her own thoughts. She stood up in a panic and ran to cook for the old master who was about to return.

The old master brought a basket full of medicinal herbs and stepped on the tail of the setting sun. Shu Xiaoman took the old master's medicine basket and took out a portion of the medicinal herbs to dry. She put the rest away and added some. She waited for the old master to take them down tomorrow to treat the townsfolk.

After Shu Xiaoman put it away, the old master also changed his clothes and washed his hands, then sat down at the table. The old master looked at the dish in front of him and his beard moved.

Shu Xiaoman was also a little embarrassed. Normally, when the old master returned from picking herbs, she would only cook two dishes. Today, she could only forget about Jiang Shaoyuan and only cook one dish in time.

"Old Master, I opened some new rice today. It smells good. Have some more food!" As Shu Xiaoman spoke, the bowls for the old master were filled to the brim and piled into a small hill.

The old master smiled helplessly as he raised his chopsticks and picked up the dishes. Shu Xiaoman heaved a sigh of relief, and then the old master smacked his lips in exaggeration.

"Xiao Man, why is it so sweet!?" The old master complained with a wrinkled face.

"Really? Did I treat sugar as salt?" Shu Xiaoman was also surprised. She raised her chopsticks and tasted it, "Mm … not sweet."

"This love is so sweet and boring." The old master hugged the bowl, stuffed a mouthful of food, and sighed to the sky.

Shu Xiaoman pretended to be angry and put down her chopsticks, "Old Master, we're not together yet. We just met today."

"Sigh, we have to consider this together. I'm going to be alone, old man."

Hearing this, Shu Xiaoman's eyes suddenly turned red. The old master did not hear her for a long time. She lowered her head and saw that Shu Xiaoman's tears were falling down her cheeks.

"Aiyo, my girl, why are you crying? I'm talking nonsense, I'm not teasing you anymore."

"No, it's not." Shu Xiaoman wiped her face with the back of her hand. "It's almost my birthday. Do you remember, Old Master? After my birthday, I'm going down the mountain. Old Master is right. I'm unfilial. I'm going to throw Old Master on the mountain, but I … wuwu …"

Hearing this, the old master heaved a sigh of relief. His face was filled with affection and kindness. He comforted Shu Xiaoman, "Alright, stop crying. What am I supposed to do? This is a good thing. The old master's Man Man has grown to twenty years old peacefully. He is going to pass the tribulation now. He can live the rest of his life peacefully and happily. It's too late for the old master to be happy." "And we, Manman, will come to see Master in the future, won't we?"

"En!" Shu Xiaoman firmly nodded, "Old Master is not allowed to leave Qinghe Temple. When I return home, I will often come back to see Old Master."

"Good, good. Then my good Manman, can we eat now? Old Master is going to be hungry." The old master purposely pretended to be pitiful with his mouth curled up.

"Yes." Shu Xiaoman was still crying because she was so old. She was a little embarrassed. She agreed to start eating. This time, the food was really a little sweet.

On the second day, the sun on the mountain came early, and the old master was used to getting up early, so the old master went down early. Shu Xiaoman went to clean up the temple, and then saw Jiang Shaoyuan's shirt that was dried. The white shirt did not leave any wrinkles because of the good material. Shu Xiaoman hugged him in her arms, as if she was hugging a man, blushing with embarrassment.

There seemed to be a hint of a man's scent on her clothes. Even though Shu Xiaoman cleaned it carefully, it still had the scent of an ancient pine at the peak of the back mountain. It was cold and domineering. Shu Xiaoman didn't want to return the clothes to Jiang Shaoyuan. But this definitely won't work. What should we do? Shu Xiaoman lowered her head and saw her sleeve hugging her shirt. She had accidentally torn a hole in her sleeve while she was working, and she sewed it on herself carefully with needles and threads.

That's right, she could secretly embroider a pattern on Jiang Shaoyuan's clothes, so that this dress would have her Shu Xiaoman's imprint.

After saying so, Shu Xiaoman found the needles and threads. After the needles and threads were finished, she remembered what to embroider. Shu Xiaoman closed her eyes and thought for a long time. She did not think of anything that could represent her. She opened her eyes and looked for inspiration in the room. Suddenly, she saw the teacup on the table. She remembered that Jiang Shaoyuan seemed to like the teacup she made and the Jasmine Tea. Then embroider a Jasmine!

Shu Xiaoman was very good at sewing. She embroidered an exquisite and small jasmine in the hem of her clothes. Normally, if she didn't look carefully, she wouldn't be able to find this jasmine flower.

After doing all of this, Shu Xiaoman folded her clothes and put them on the bed. She remembered that Jiang Shaoyuan had said yesterday that he would come to the mountains in the next few days, so she planned to wait for him. It was good to see him earlier.

However, before Shu Xiaoman could reach the temple, she heard the sound of thunderclap outside. Shu Xiaoman felt a little strange. The temple was almost at the top of the mountain, and the terrain was exceptionally rugged. How could there be a large number of people coming here?

Shu Xiaoman walked to the front of the temple and opened the door. She was stunned.

Outside the door was a large group of soldiers, holding various tools, repairing her steps? ?

The person standing at the front was the familiar adjutant Zhang. Shu Xiaoman called him, "Adjutant Zhang, Adjutant Zhang."

"Ah." "Hello, Miss Shu."

"What is this?"

"In the name of a major general, I am here to repair the steps for your Clear Peace Temple." Adjutant Zhang said. Seeing that Shu Xiaoman didn't say anything, he added, "Major General is right down there. Do you want me to call him over?"

"Ah, no need." Shu Xiaoman hurriedly replied, but felt that it was inappropriate. She asked, "Is Major General Jiang Shaoyuan?"

"Yes, Jiang Shaoyuan is a taboo name for my Major General."

"Thank you. Then you can go back to work."

Shu Xiaoman's heart was filled with sour sweetness. The man she fell in love with at first sight seemed to be very willing to pay for herself. She had only done so much for herself from the start. However, the other party's status was so high. As a major general, he was just a country woman. How could he be with him?

Her head, which had been dazed by love yesterday, was now much clearer. Shu Xiaoman remembered that Jiang Shaoyuan had only come here on business and was leaving soon. Didn't she first say that her parents were willing to leave home with him? She only said that Jiang Shaoyuan was not willing to take her out.

Shu Xiaoman was in a trance. She closed the temple door and walked into the main hall. She took out the signature from the hall and divined a divination for herself.

He carefully looked at the six lines and said,

It was a mid-upper trigram, and the Earth Navy (Shi Trigram) was adventurous and smooth.

"Division" means the army. The ridge is water, is dangerous; Kun for the ground, shun, metaphor in agriculture. The sage had no choice but to use troops to deal with dangerous situations, but it could smoothly and unhindered resolve contradictions. Because it followed the situation and became famous, it could turn evil into good luck.

Shu Xiaoman knelt in front of the statue of Heavenly Master Zhang. She lowered her head and read the divination. The road ahead was fierce, but perhaps there was a chance of survival. She had already hid for 20 years for the sake of the chance to survive the tribulation. In the future, there was nothing she could not do to pursue her love for this chance.

Thinking about it, Shu Xiaoman felt as if a fire was burning in her heart. She could no longer kneel down because of the fire. She had to see it with her own eyes, touch it with her own hands, and personally tell Jiang Shaoyuan.

As a result, Shu Xiaoman couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She stood up and accidentally tripped over the signing tube. She hurriedly picked it up and ran out.

Shu Xiaoman ran past the incense burner, but Jiang Shaoyuan opened the door and walked in with long legs. When Shu Xiaoman saw that her beloved man was right in front of her, the smile on her face blossomed. The braids behind her were about to fly, and she directly reached out and pounced over.

Jiang Shaoyuan was also frightened. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. He simply pushed open the door. The moment he opened the door, he saw the beautiful girl flying over and stretched out his arms to catch her.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Shaoyuan hugged the gentle and fragrant little man in his arms. His expression became gentle and his voice was unbelievably gentle. His eyes and mind were all focused on the person in his arms. He did not see the expression of the soldier behind him. He looked like he had seen a ghost.

Shu Xiaoman shook her head, but she was buried in Jiang Shaoyuan's embrace.

Jiang Shaoyuan comforted her on her back and said, "I am willing to hug you, but I still have soldiers with me. Let them work first, okay?"

Hearing this, Shu Xiaoman's body stiffened. She raised her head and looked back from Jiang Shaoyuan's side. Sure enough, she saw a few tall soldiers standing at the door carrying things.

Shu Xiaoman's face turned red. She immediately broke free from Jiang Shaoyuan's embrace and was about to run.

Jiang Shaoyuan stretched out his hand and pulled Shu Xiaoman to the side. He took a few steps with her and pulled her behind him. He commanded the others to start attacking.

Shu Xiaoman was firmly blocked by Jiang Shaoyuan's wide back and gradually calmed herself down. She climbed up Jiang Shaoyuan and quietly stretched out her head to take a look.
