Nie Caizhu was also speechless. She only felt that Shen Luo was growing taller and taller in her eyes, as if he was going to fill her eyes little by little.
Huo Kun silently carried Granny Long on his back and left the Shen family with Nie Renbei and the others.
Before leaving, Nie Renbei said, "You're not worthy of being a woman of the Nie family."
After the torment of the Nie family, the relationship between Nie Caizhu and Shen Luo became much closer.
In addition to cultivating and drawing talismans every day, Shen Luo would accompany Nie Caizhu to tour the nearby mountains and rivers. They looked more and more like a match made in heaven.
However, sometimes when they were alone, Nie Caizhu couldn't help but feel sad and worried about the family's situation.
Shen Luo saw this and couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to accompany her back to Yunzhou. Nie Caizhu couldn't bear to let him take the risk, so she politely refused.
Time flew by and more than three months passed.
Shen Luo's nameless cultivation method didn't make much progress, but his Crescent Moon Steps was becoming more and more complete. When he used it, there were continuous shadows of the moon, and his figure was faintly discernible.
At night, Shen Luo was drawing talismans in his room when there was a light knock on the door.
After opening the door, he saw Nie Caizhu standing outside with a bowl of sweet soup.
"I saw that you've been sleeping very late these days, so I made some sweet red bean soup from Yunzhou. I don't know if you like it?" Nie Caizhu said as she handed over the bowl of soup with both hands.
"How could I not be used to it? Come on in, let's talk," Shen Luo said as he turned to the side to make way.
"Are you still busy? I won't go in. If you have time these two days, let's go for a walk outside the city. "Nie Caizhu looked at the messy yellow talismans on the table in Shen Luo's room and said with a smile.
"Okay, the grass is long and the birds are flying. The winter snow in Dingding Valley outside the city should have melted. The scenery near the Jade Lake is just right. We'll go the day after tomorrow." Shen Luo thought for a while and said.
"Well, then it's a deal. Don't be too tired and rest early. "Nie Caizhu said.
Shen Luo smiled and nodded.
After she left, Shen Luo took a sip of the soup. it was sweet but not greasy.... and drank it all..
After he put the bowl down, he took a deep breath and returned to the table. once again..
Shen Luo picked up the writing brush and dipped it in cinnabar. He took off the half-drawn talisman paper and took out a yellow talisman paper and laid it flat on the table. He held his breath and began to use his magic power to write.
The tip of the brush seemed to be gushing with blue light. It restrained the cinnabar on the brush. As the tip of the brush slid steadily, a mountain-crossing talisman began to slowly show its full appearance.
In the past three months, Shen Luo didn't even draw the Little Thunder Talisman. Most of his time was used to practice this mountain-crossing talisman.
Although the quality of this talisman wasn't high, it lacked the unique experience of making talismans in the dream world. The efficiency of practicing this talisman in the real world wasn't high.
Fortunately, hard work paid off. Shen Luo's repeated attempts weren't in vain. Although the mountain-crossing talisman he drew lacked a little divine light, he was very courageous.
As he moved the brush like a dragon, a complete mountain-crossing talisman was finally drawn.
As soon as Shen Luo picked up the brush, the ink on the talisman paper hadn't dried yet. The talisman suddenly flashed and lit up with a layer of red light.
"This is … success?" Shen Luo's heart tightened. He was very surprised.
He quickly picked up the talisman paper and carefully examined it. However, the talisman paper was in his hand. After two or three breaths of time, it flashed and dimmed again.
"Sure enough, it's still a little lacking." Shen Luo laughed at himself.
He placed the ruined talisman paper aside and carefully examined the traces of the brush strokes on it. He looked for flaws.
After looking for a moment, he continued to draw another talisman paper.
…
At noon the next day, everyone in the Shen family ate lunch. Not long after Nie Caizhu returned to her room, a servant of the Shen family hurriedly ran in from outside the gate and gave her a letter.
After she opened it and read for a moment, her face suddenly changed.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Servant Xiao Chun saw and quickly asked.
Nie Caizhu grabbed the letter and didn't let go for a long time. After a while, she slowly said, "The letter is from my family. The governor's office is angry with my family because I ran away from the marriage. Many of our shops in the Cloud Prefecture have been closed down already. "
"The governor's office is too shameless to do this. Isn't it too shameless?" Xiao Chun heard and said with righteous indignation.
Nie Caizhu heard and just shook her head silently. She didn't say anything.
"Miss … is the letter urging you to go back and complete the marriage?" Xiao Chun whispered.
"No, the letter didn't mention this, but … sigh." Nie Caizhu said halfway and sighed heavily.
"Then what should we do? Why don't we discuss it with the son-in-law, no, with Young Master Shen? "Xiao Chun asked with a worried face.
"No, we can't tell cousin. We can't drag him into this. After dinner tonight, we will leave the county and return to Yunzhou. "Nie Caizhu immediately shook her head and said.
"Okay." Xiao Chun hesitated for a moment and said.
"I'll pack up some gold, silver, and other valuables in a while. You go to the city and buy a carriage. Also, prepare some dry rations for the journey. We'll settle them there first. We'll leave in the evening." Nie Caizhu thought for a moment. Then, she instructed.
Xiao Chun received the order and quickly left. Nie Caizhu sat back at the table and read the letter again.
Finally, she took out a pen and paper. After hesitating for a long time, she began to write.
In the evening, after Nie Caizhu and the people of the Shen family had dinner, she said that she wanted to go out for a walk. After she declined Shen Luo's proposal to accompany her, she left behind the letter that she had already written and left with her maidservant Xiao Chun without saying goodbye.
…
The next morning, Shen Luo got up early and washed up. As promised, he went to find Nie Caizhu.
But when he arrived in front of the courtyard, he found that the door was closed. It seemed that she had not gotten up yet.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still went forward and raised his right hand to knock on the door.
"Knock knock …"
He knocked twice and waited for a moment, but there was no response from the room.
"Knock knock, knock knock …"
Shen Luo felt strange. Nie Caizhu was not a sleepy person. Why did she stay in bed today?
So, he knocked more and more urgently. However, after a long time, there was still no response.
"Not good …"
Shen Luo felt that something was wrong. He pressed one hand on the door. When he was about to force it open, the door creaked and opened inwards.
"Good morning, son-in-law." Xiao Chun looked tired as if she had just gotten up. She bowed to him and said vaguely.
"Xiao Chun, you haven't gotten up yet?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Cousin, I'm not feeling well today, so I won't go out." At this time, Nie Caizhu's voice came from inside the room. She seemed to be a little weak.
"What's wrong with you? I know a little about medicine. If it's convenient, can I take a look at you? "Shen Luo asked quickly.
"No need to trouble yourself. I just didn't sleep well last night. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after half a day's rest. Don't worry." Nie Caizhu said quickly.
When Shen Luo heard this, he had no choice but to give up.
"Then you have a good rest. At noon, I'll ask the kitchen to make some soup to calm the nerves. You can drink it when you get up."
"Thank you, cousin." Nie Caizhu thanked him.
After Shen Luo left, Xiao Chun quickly closed the door and walked quickly to the inner room. She looked at Nie Caizhu sitting by the bed and asked, "Miss, what's going on? Didn't we leave yesterday?"
