Chapter 9: The Storm (7)
"Long Tian...... Really gone?"
Hearing the news, Zhang Yuming's face suddenly changed, and he looked at the calm Xu Shu in dismay. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Master Wang's skinny face on the side was also revealed.
"Yes, he's gone. Xu Shu's tone was flat, as if what he was saying was not a funeral, but gossiping.
Mr. Zhang's eyes showed sorrow, and he said with a wry smile: "You young students, you are in a hurry. Long Qian's kid died early, how could this kid die. Didn't you say it in the letter, you want to meet again, you bastard. β
"Condolences change. Master Wang said four words coldly.
"You old thing, aren't you sad when people die?" Although Zhang Yuming was a scholar when he was young, he was a fast-talking, casual and free person; now that he is old, his temperament is becoming more and more eclectic, and he especially likes to quarrel with the rigid and serious Master Wang, which seems to be a kind of fun in his later life, and he never gets tired of it.
Master Wang held his identity and didn't want to talk to him, so he snorted coldly and turned his head away from looking at him.
"Xu boy, don't pay attention to him, this old thing is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and his heart is obviously as sad as ours, but his mouth is so strict that he keeps up with a lock. Old Mr. Zhang took a deep breath and continued, "Before Long Tian died, he asked you to hand over Long Yuan to Minyu?"
Xu Shu nodded: "Yes." β
"This kid is also a dead eye, thinking that he has made up his mind to entrust the future of the Long clan to Minyu, it's really ...... All of them are uncomfortable, Minyu is still a little doll, such a burden is too heavy for him. Mr. Zhang glanced at Min Yu, who was gossiping with the left and right over there, and his eyes couldn't help but darken a little. "Your journey is very dangerous, this doll urinates so hard, and there will be a lot of trials in the future. If you make a good decision, Lao Wang and I will also do our best to help. β
Xu Shu lowered his eyes, was silent for a long time, and Fang Fu said: "Long Tian has explained clearly to the two of you in the letter, you are right, this road is dangerous, he didn't want to involve you in, the disaster is not good for you, but due to the situation, it can only be so." β
"Nothing, nothing. Mr. Zhang smiled indifferently: "Life is too short, the things that should be met still have to be encountered, the people who should be seen must be met after all, and the things that should be done still have to be done; β
Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "In this way, the junior will thank the two elders on behalf of Long Tian." β

After resting for three hours, the sun moved westward, and the color of the warm sun became darker and deeper, and after another hour, evening was approaching, and the sunset came.
Reckless wasteland, a team of people and horses lined up in a row on the avenue, looking at it from afar, it is really a good scenery, the vast atmosphere, like a picture of a traveler's journey, with the taste of late autumn from prosperity to decline, this is the beauty of the remnant sun.
There is no shortage of such scenery pictures in Yanmen Road.
On the way to Dayin, the Long clan had an extra team of dead countrymen. Mr. Zhang, they had a correspondence with Long Tian a few months ago, and they didn't know what the secret business was, and on the second day after Xiao Zhu who sent the letter came back, they connected with Long and the others at the Baiyun Inn, which was undoubtedly decided in advance.
Although Xiaoxue is basically in harmony with the people of the Long family and is very familiar with each other, she is an outsider in the end, so she is naturally not qualified to explore other people's secrets. At this point, Anan had already given her a warning bell, telling her to be cautious in her words and deeds and not to meddle in her affairs.
She promised happily, but in her heart she was very curious about what secrets the Long clan was entangled with the descendants of the fallen country, but looking at the face of Miao Nu Bai Fan, she still felt that Anan had warned well, nosy people generally had nothing to do and died inexplicably, she didn't want to die like a strange case.
Bai Fan and Miao Nu saw her expression of wanting to speak to them several times, and they knew her thoughts in their hearts, but for the sake of the overall situation, they would not reveal one or two things to her, first, to ensure a foolproof plan, and secondly, to be good for her, the less they knew, the better it would be for her.
She felt that these people were too worried and suspicious. Staying bored in the carriage, she pulled Minyu to climb onto the roof of the carriage and sat and watched the sunset.
Since chatting with Minyu that night, the little ghost has become closer and closer to her, often laughing and playing, like a brother and sister.
Also watching the sunset was Zhu Yu on the roof of a carriage behind.
After the Tang country's team was added, their squad had more people and horses, and there were three carriages alone, not to mention a dozen horses, and four wagons, which were covered with sackcloth, very much like the goods of the caravan.
Xiao Xue really wanted to get close to the little ghost named Zhu Yu, talk, and relieve boredom. But the arrogant young man has a very high face, and he doesn't even appreciate her with a straight eye.
She wondered, could it be that she was very ugly, and he didn't look down on her? No, she scolded herself in her heart, how could she, a seventeen-year-old girl, look at a fourteen-year-old little child! It must have been with Duan Qianyan's bastard for a long time, and her thoughts have become a little dirty, and she wants to change these bad thoughts, so as to save her bad learning.
Min Yu doesn't seem to like Zhu Yu either, they are all children, about the same age, and they don't like each other.
"Sister Xue, he's staring at you. β
Under the sunset, Minyu's immature face was like rouge, red as Danxia.
Xiaoxue lowered her head and was busy with the matter at hand, and responded indifferently: "You are wrong, that kid looks at people coldly, I'm afraid he can't tell what it means to look at people with eyes and stare at people with eyes." β
"But didn't you say that he disdained us?"
"When he looked at us at this time, he probably never talked about women braiding men's hair. She said lightly, her hands were busy unhurriedly. She is now sitting on the roof of the car and braiding Minyu's hair, which is also boring, and she wants to see what will happen to the little ghost's not long black hair braided, but she didn't expect the little ghost to agree, which surprised her. It seems that he really treats her as an older sister, and although she has a twelve-year-old brother for nothing, she doesn't mind recognizing another brother.
Min Yu's black hair was scattered, more than half of his hair was braided into slender braids hanging down next to his side face, and the other half of his hair was still scattered on his shoulders, Xiao Xue knelt behind him, concentrating on braiding his hair.
"Oops! Tap!" Min Yu screamed, clutching her head in pain.
Xiaoxue stopped her movements and stretched out her head to look at him: "It hurts?"
"Well, alas, why are you still dragging!" Minyu's scalp tightened, only to feel that his hair was pulled up, like pulling grass.
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake. Xiao Xue let go of her hand, threw away the few strands of hair that were tangled between her fingers, and prepared to finish braiding her braids before the sun set in the sky, but at this moment, a cold snort came into her ears.
Min Yu also heard it, raised his head and looked, only to see that Zhu Yu was sitting on the roof of the car with his back straight, squinting at him and Sister Xue, with contempt and inquisition in his eyes, as if he was looking at something not very good.
"He looked at us like that!" he was angry.
Xiaoxue looked at Zhu Yu with a cold face, and said softly, "Do you still have stones in your bag?"
Min Yu was stunned and looked up at her: "Yes." β
"Take it out. β
"Oh. Min Yu took out a purple bag in the placket, which was sewn for him by Miao Nu, and it contained half a bag of stones. A few days ago, in order to trick Bai Fan, he and Sister Xue picked up a bag of stones, threw stones out of the car and smashed people, smashing Bai Fan so that he didn't dare to approach the carriage.
Now, Zhu Yu's gaze makes Xiaoxue very unhappy, and she Han Liangxue wants to teach the disobedient ghost a lesson.
So, the two naΓ―ve people began to smash people with stones on the roof of the car, one smashed one accurately, and those stones were accurately thrown on Zhu Yu on the roof of the other carriage, thanks to Bai Fan, thanks to him, they were able to practice the technique of 100 shots.
Zhu Yu was caught off guard and was beaten all over his body, Xu didn't expect them to directly smash people, he couldn't dodge for a while, and all the flying stones smashed on his body, and even hit his left eye with unmistakable accuracy. When he looked, he saw that the boy with half-braided hair was smiling at him triumphantly.
Still a child, he couldn't hold his breath, his cold exterior shattered, and he began to fight back and throw the flying stones back.
In this way, the small fight between the three of them opened in the sunset, and the stones flying back and forth kept changing owners, one second in Zhu Yu's hands, and the next second in the hands of Minyu or Xiaoxue. The fierce stone-throwing battle lasted for a long time, and both sides did not admit defeat, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.
In the end, Min Yu accidentally hit Master Wang, who was riding a horse, and the three of them were punished by the strict Master Wang to sit on the roof of the carriage and not be allowed to come down all night.
The three of them sat side by side, with the background of the sunset burning in the background, the magnificent sunset was so beautiful that it was intoxicating, and the sky was covered with red clouds, like a fire burning half of the sky.
The three of them had bitter faces, no one looked at anyone, just stared at Master Wang, looking very aggrieved.
"Don't come down to eat if you don't reflect on it!" Master Wang, who had a red envelope swollen on his forehead, said coldly.
