After finishing the meal, the mountains were shrouded in darkness, and a silver full moon appeared in the sky.

In the courtyard high up in the walled city, the birds must have had enough to eat, and were flying around the mountains by themselves, looking for small mountain rabbits to chat with.

Dongfang Liren held a telescope and watched the scurrying birds on the cliff. When he saw Fan Qinghe coming out of the house, he walked out and said:

"Miss Fan, where are you going?"

Because Fan Qinghe had promised to change shifts on the road, she was scared when she saw the Queen. However, the Queen was blocked at the intersection and it was difficult for her to avoid it, so she made a normal expression:

"Ye Jingtang went to take a medicinal bath. You don't need my help. I'm going to find a clean robe and we'll go to the back mountain to watch the moon together later."

Dongfang Liren's original intention was to ask Aunt Fan to take care of the bather. Seeing that she ran out, he showed a bit of helplessness, walked closer and whispered:

"You and I should both know what kind of character Ye Jingtang is. He is a good person, but he takes good care of his daughter's feelings. If you don't like it, he won't force him. But he is really not feeling well. We agreed on the shift on the way...

…”

Fan Qinghe couldn't regret what he said, so he nodded and said:

"I am a doctor. If he needs anything, even if he refuses, I will help him for his sake. Your Highness does not need to remind you about this. What kind of tea does Your Highness want to drink? The tea produced in Dongming Mountain is not available outside..."

Dongfang Liren had no intention of drinking tea. Now he just wanted to pull Aunt Fan into the water. He looked sleepy at the moment:

"I took care of Ye Jingtang on the road, and I didn't even get a good sleep after all the driving and traveling. I went back to my room to rest first. I'm sorry to bother Miss Fan to stay overnight. If it's too troublesome, I'll go talk to Granny Gui and ask her to arrange for two people...

"

"..."

Fan Qinghe felt that the Queen was using Granny Gui as a Shangfang sword to target her specifically, but she was indeed cowardly to the elders in the clan. When these words reached Granny Gui's ears, she was so afraid that she would be tied up and sent to the hall for a night terror. At that moment, she was still

Obedient said:

"I have nothing to do tonight. I can't trust the girls in the village to take care of me. Your Highness, please have a good rest. Don't worry about anything else."

"Okay, let's change shifts tomorrow."

After Dongfang Liren finished his instructions, he returned to the room.

After Fan Qinghe watched Dongfang Liren leave, his expression became obviously more complicated, and he walked towards the walled city alone.

Today, when her uncles brought up the matter of engagement, she didn't directly agree. It wasn't because she was shy or something like that, but because she had another level of concern.

As the Zhu Zong of Dong Ming Department, Fan Qinghe knew very well why her uncles were anxious to get her engaged to Ye Jing Tang. After all, only in this way did Ye Jing Tang have an inseparable connection with Dong Ming Department.

But precisely because of this, she hesitated.

After all, with the needs of the ethnic group and the agreement of her father's generation behind her, no matter how good she is to Ye Jingtang, she still feels like she is so close to her because of the Dong Ming tribe. She feels like a woman who wants to follow the crowd.

She can give everything for Dong Mingbu, but she doesn't want to deceive herself or even Ye Jingtang's feelings.

For this reason, she can do anything for Ye Jing Tang, but because the tribe needs it, she can get engaged to Ye Jing Tang. She can't do it. If she wants to agree, she should be happy with each other.

Love each other...

Ye Jingtang publicly admitted today that saying he likes her was probably not a lie...

As for herself...

"well……"

Fan Qinghe glanced at the moonlight and didn't know what he was thinking.

She feels that she is a strong woman, she does everything for the sake of the group, and she does things without any personal feelings involved.

But he didn't get angry after being treated frivolously by Night Terror Hall over and over again. When Night Terror Hall fainted, he took the initiative to take off his clothes and help, etc. At that time, there was no thought of the Winter Underworld and the survival of the clan. He was only thinking about 'How could he do that?

Like this, it's so big and hot.

If you don't think about Dong Mingbu and don't refuse or get angry after being taken advantage of, isn't she just a frustrated little daughter-in-law who has fallen in love with a man...

The more Fan Qinghe thought about it, the more confused he became. He felt that if he continued to think about it, he would have to convince himself, so he quickly brushed away his distracting thoughts, walked down the stairs quickly, and found some clothes for Ye Jingtang...

——

It's quiet at night.

In the side room of the main house, Ye Jingtang was soaking in a milk-white bathtub. The water was up to his chest. It can be seen that the bruises on his chest have basically recovered, and the scars on his shoulders have scabbed. However, the internal injuries are more serious than the external injuries, and full recovery is still needed.

Take some time.

The medicated bath is made with medicine that promotes body recovery, and also contains snow lake flower pollen. It feels like a spring breeze while soaking in it, but it is also a bit easy to make you sleepy.

Ye Jingtang leaned in the bathtub and soaked for a while, and then he was already in a half-dream and half-awake state. While he was wandering in his mind, footsteps sounded outside the window:

Tap tap tap~

Squeak~

Ye Jingtang opened his eyes and looked outside. Qing He, dressed as a foreign witch, walked in from the outside with a suit of clothes in his arms, and closed the door again:

"I just went to the village to find a robe for you to wear. Do you want to try it on?"

While Fan Qinghe was talking, he came to the bathtub and unfolded the robe in his arms.

Ye Jingtang sat up slightly from the bathtub, because the bath water was not transparent and did not cover his lower body, and he looked at it carefully in a blink of an eye.

The robe in Fan Qinghe's hand looks black at first glance, but by candlelight, you can see that the smooth fabric has a navy blue color, and there are patterns on the surface. The style is not much different from the common robes in the Central Plains. The only difference is the waist buckle of the belt, which is carved with

Kuafu has the same pattern every day.

Ye Jingtang knew that each clan in Xihai had its own costumes, and Fan Qinghe's sacrificial robes were one of them, which could only be worn by senior members of the clan.

Seeing that Qian Chi's clothes were so new, he was a little curious and said:

"It's really beautiful, but this seems to be the style of a round-necked gown. Are you sure it's Qinchi's clothes?"

Fan Qinghe folded the robe, put it on the tray, and explained:

"The Qinchi tribe was a small tribe of more than a thousand people a hundred years ago. Since our ancestors, we have been following the sun and migrating to the ends of the earth. It would be great if we could get some animal skins to wear. Where can we get the cloth?"

"Later, King Tianlang came out and unified Western Xinjiang. He brought most of the clan members to the royal capital. When he saw that most of the clan members were neatly dressed, the members of his family were wearing all kinds of clothes. It was really not decent, so he got such a robe..."

Ye Jingtang suddenly realized and asked again:

"The Qin Chi tribe just migrates after the sun? Doesn't it have any purpose?"

Fan Qinghe came to the back, checked the injury on Ye Jingtang's shoulder, thought for a while and said:

"I heard from Granny Gui. There are many ancient legends in various tribes in the West Sea. It is said that in ancient times, a dragon crashed into a mountain, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to collapse. The gods fell to the ground and slowly turned into mortals.

"For example, our Dongming tribe and Xuanhao tribe are descendants of the God of the North, while the Gouchen tribe is the descendant of Emperor Gouchen, and the Wuma tribe raises horses for the heaven. The Qinchi tribe seems to be unwilling to stay in the mortal world.

From time to time, I chase the sun. It is said that if you chase the sunset, you can find the mountain and return to heaven..."

Ye Jingtang smiled and said, "Have you found it in the end?"

Fan Qinghe shrugged slightly: "Of course we didn't find it. The Qinchi tribe migrated past the Sunset Peaks. They originally wanted to go west, but were blocked by a mountain range.

"The mountain range connects with Huangming Mountain and extends eastward to the eastern seaside. Countless ancestors went out to explore the way, but ended up without success. In the end, they could only settle at the foot of the mountain in the northwest.

"The place where the Qinchi tribe settled down is the 'Tianya'; and there is also a Haijiao Port on the Tianmidao Road in Beiliang. They are the westernmost and easternmost places in the world, and the southernmost is Guancheng where Fengguancheng is located.

, the farthest north is said to be the Permafrost Lake in the Northern Wasteland... even the witches seem to have gone there."

Although Ye Jingtang has traveled to many places, to put it bluntly, he still wanders around the Central Plains. He has never seen these places. Hearing this, he was quite envious of Shui'er. He thought for a while and said:

"There is a mountain outside the mountain. I couldn't climb over it in the past. It must have been due to physical fitness. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely help the ancestors of the Qin Chi Department to see what is behind the mountain."

Fan Qinghe naturally knew that the world was not as big as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, so she said:

"According to the old man, those who can cross the ends of the earth have returned to heaven, that is, they have become immortals. For example, people like Xiao Zu and Wu Taizu of the previous dynasty never came back once they left. You can go up the mountain to see when the time comes.

Just watch, if you really leave and never come back, the Queen and the others will cry to death..."

Ye Jingtang felt that the conversation was a bit too far, so he shook his head and smiled and did not continue the topic.

While Fan Qinghe was talking, he kept pressing his shoulders.

Ye Jingtang was soaking in the warm pool water, and his blood was already relatively active. Being touched and pinched like this, coupled with the atmosphere of a lonely man and a woman in the bathroom, was really a bit wrong.

Ye Jingtang blinked his eyes, turned his head to look at Fan Qinghe, and said with a smile:

"How about this, go out and look at the moon."

Fan Qinghe kept looking at the man's chest muscles. In fact, he felt something was wrong, so he stopped and took a towel:

"Okay, the girl in the village is setting off fireworks...ah!"

Before Fan Qinghe could finish his words, he saw Ye Jingtang stand up from the bathtub, revealing his perfectly curved waist and abdomen, as well as something sinister.

Although this was not the first time they met, and they had even touched and hugged her, Fan Qinghe did not admit the relationship after all. He suddenly saw it and shrank in shock. He quickly hugged the towel to his chest, looked down first, and then looked towards

Ye Jingtang's cheeks and eyes were filled with fear.

Wow~

Ye Jingtang looked down, quickly sat back in the tub, and said slightly embarrassed:

"Uh... I'm really not feeling right with my body. I'm being rude. Put down the towel and I'll put it on myself."

Fan Qinghe's face turned red. Seeing that Ye Jingtang didn't seem to be intentional, after calming down for a while, he finally returned to his female doctor appearance and put down the towel:

"Are you feeling unwell?"
