Now she did not leave alone and when she returns, she would not be alone.
The mountain road was long and unknowingly the sky had turned dark. Because it was a mountain road, there were no inns on the mountain and one could only lodge at a farmer's house. Fortunately that farmer's family had a warm-hearted temperament and warmly received everyone. They even cooked a lot of food and wine.
Because they had to hurry on with their journey, Shen Xin and the rest did not dare to drink alcohol as they were afraid that drinking would cause trouble and delay the next day's departure. It was Shen Miao who did not know if it was because her mood was good or because the plum blossom wine that the farmer's family brewed was sweet and intoxicating that after drinking a few cups, her cheeks turned into a peach colour.
"Why did Jiao Jiao drink so much?" Luo Xue Yan initially did not notice but when she saw it clearly, she could not help but turn pale with fright. Seeing Shen Miao's hand supporting her cheek with a drowsy look, she quickly reached out to check her head.
"Most likely Older Sister does not know the power of this wine." The female owner of the farmer's family smiled, "The plum blossom wine that we brew ourselves has a sweet taste but the aftereffect is strong. Our family's girl often drinks too much and would be drunk. But one would be fine after a sleep and would not feel dizzy the next day. Furen need not worry. "
Luo Xue Yan then felt relieved. Shen Qiu looked at Shen Miao's somewhat drunk look and felt it was funny, "Did not think that Younger Sister would also get drunk one day. Really interesting."
When Shen Qiu returned this time, he saw a calm and gentle Shen Miao. She was so mature that Shen Qiu would sometimes have the illusion that Shen Miao was the older sister. Sometimes he would miss the Shen Miao of the past. Even though she was willful and impolite, she still had the temperament that a young lady should have. Now looking at her appearance, it made Shen Qiu recall the Shen Miao of the past and unknowingly felt some familiarity.
"Brat." Shen Xin kicked Shen Qiu, "Your Younger Sister is already drunk to this extent and you still make trouble!"
Shen Qiu quickly stuck out his tongue and pretended to be afraid as he begged for mercy. The whole family, including the farmer's family, were all lively and happy. Where was the disappointment and helplessness of 'leaving one's hometown?
Shen Miao's hands supported her chin as she squinted at the scene in front. Even though this plum blossom wine was intoxicating, she was still somewhat sober. He was indeed very happy today. Everything went according to the plan. In fact other than letting Shen Xin stay away from the whirlpool of the Ding capital, it was also because there would be a smallpox outbreak in the Ding capital in a year's time. Even though nothing happened in the previous lifetime, she was not willing to let her family take any risks at all. Staying away from the Ding capital meant staying away from danger. Even if he wanted revenge, he had to protect his family first.
The lively dinner lasted until late at night before dispersing. The enthusiastic owner of the farm arranged enough rooms for the few of them. Originally Luo Xue Yan wanted to share a room with Shen Miao but Shen Miao insisted on staying in the room next to the wall of the farm and even had to sleep alone. It was a separate room, and it was far away from the others. If they moved in, they would be separated from Luo Xue Yan and the others.
Shen Xin initially felt that it was not good and if there was danger, he feared that he would not be able to rush over to rescue but he did not know what was wrong with Shen Miao that she insisted on staying in that room even though she was drunk. When the mistress of the farmer's family saw this, she smiled and said, "Sister, you probably want to see the flowers outside the wall? The flowers are very beautiful under the snow and all young ladies like it. Furen need not worry. Even though our place is small, there are no bandits or robbers. If you are worried about Sister, it is alright to set up a tent outside and find a few more guards. "
Only then did everyone realize that when they opened the window of the house against the courtyard wall, they could see a large snow-white garden. There were still winter plum blossoms in the garden that had yet to wither. Under the clear moonlight, the shadows of the blossoms swayed on the snowy ground. It was a very beautiful scene.
Shen Qiu was angry and funny at the same time and pinched Shen Miao's nose, "Delicate bag. No wonder you are called Jiao Jiao. You are drunk and still looking forward to a place with good scenery."
