Chapter 7 The Verge

According to legend, Phoenix Ridge is suspected to have a mythical beast phoenix living in the mountain, which has been worshiped as a sacred mountain by hundreds of people for hundreds of years, and no one dares to go into the mountain to find out, after all, the god-like existence is not subject to the blasphemy and peep of mortals.

And after Xiao Jiang left Nancheng, he walked aimlessly all the way south. Along the windy and snowy path, he unintentionally broke into the Phoenix Ridge by mistake. And while resting along the way, I actually found a stream that had not been frozen into ice. The water of the stream is very strange, not only flowing fast, like the tide of a river. And there is residual warmth, as if the stream is evaporating.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jiang gasped. He never imagined that there would be such a magical stream in this realm. You know, it's the coldest time of the year. During this season, the sky and the earth are covered with snow, and everything in the world is frozen into ice, even the hardest things are frozen into ice skates.

"There is such a warm current here, did I strayed into Phoenix Ridge?" At this time, Xiao Jiang had a bad premonition in his heart, and suddenly noticed that something seemed wrong, and suddenly reacted.

I looked up seriously at the nearby scene, and saw that the rock wall on the stone cave just now was steep and dangerous. It's just that in the heavy snow, some can't see how high the peak is.

"It seems that I have indeed strayed into Phoenix Ridge!" Seeing the situation nearby, Xiao Jiang shook his head helplessly. For hundreds of years, he was probably the only one who dared to break into Phoenix Ridge alone, at least he hadn't heard of anyone else entering here.

Lowering his head and looking at the shroud in his arms, Xiao Jiang sighed softly and said, "The ancestor once said that find a no-man's land and abandon it. Not only does no one exist here, but there is also a warm current, and it seems that the fate of you and me is over here. Why don't we just throw you here? ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jiang gently lifted the wrap covering the baby's head, only to see that the baby girl looked exquisitely clear, and the corners of her slightly upturned mouth were like the lightness of the moon, which made people feel pity when they looked at it.

"The ancestor said that you and I have a relationship, but I don't understand where that origin comes from! It's a pity that I can't see your growth with my own eyes. ”

Xiao Jiang's heart was very complicated at this time, if he was asked to kill an opponent and enemy, he would never be relentless. And this is not an enemy or an opponent. But a baby who has just been born less than a month ago, how can he not hesitate.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet, so let's just call Tang Yan. After all, your father was the head of the Tang family in Xiangfu during his lifetime, and the warm current is light and cloudy. Take the word smoke, I hope that in the future, you can be like a cloud of smoke, even if it drifts away with the wind, it will still be endless. Xiao Jiang looked at the baby girl in his arms, and showed a rare soft smile. Stretched out a finger and pointed at the baby girl's little nose, I don't know why, he was a little reluctant, and a little unbearable. But since he had already promised the ancestor, he had to do it.

After a long while, Xiao Jiang finally made up his mind, and the ancestor said that since it was the will of heaven, there must be cause and effect.

"Judging by the direction of the stream, it should be south, if you throw her into the stream like this, she will definitely drown, it is better to make a raft. If there is any damage to the raft in the middle of the way, I am not to blame, I can only say that it is providential. Xiao Jiang comforted his conscience and muttered.

At this time, he had been alone in this Phoenix Ridge for several hours. The sky was already dark, indicating that he had been in Phoenix Ridge all night. And this night was extremely difficult for him, not to mention the cold weather, just to make him an abandoned baby in the barren mountain was enough to make him embarrassed.

It didn't take long for a raft that looked very sturdy to be tied up by Xiao Jiang. Slowly untying the baby in his arms, Xiao Jiang carefully placed it on the raft. found that something was wrong, and picked up the baby again, looking really reluctant.

"Wouldn't it be safer to hold it in place with a rope?" As he spoke, Xiao Jiang took off a rope from his waist, put the baby girl on the raft again, and tied a few buttons that were not very tight but very strong. He said to himself: "I still think something is wrong, what if this child is lucky not to die, and he doesn't know his surname when he grows up?" Well, you have to leave something to remember, lest you grow up and forget the clan ......! ”

The stream flowed turbulently, sparkling at the rising sun, and was so extraordinarily covered in silver against the snow-white earth and the beautiful mountains.

Beside the stream, the back of a broad and heroic man stood at the foot of the mountain, and the man stared at the raft in the stream, watching it slowly disappear into his eyes. The man let out a long breath, thinking to himself that perhaps the most bizarre thing he had done in his life was what he had done today!

The snowflakes in the sky are still fluttering in the wind. Snowflakes fall on the face from time to time, soft, cool and silky, very comfortable! The man reached into the air to catch some snowflakes and take a look. But as soon as they landed on their hands, they melted, as if they were dodging, as if they were afraid.

Who else could this man be, couldn't it be Xiao Jiang himself, who was in the snow and cold winter all night! At this time, Xiao Jiang could only shake his head helplessly again, no matter how high and powerful his status is, in front of the ancestor, he is just a junior, he must be obedient, as for right and wrong, only God knows!

Looking at the mysterious Phoenix Ridge in front of him, Xiao Jiang could only pray silently. Hearing this, he sighed lightly: "The cold fog throws the baby's cry, and the snow falls and hates me, but if you can be yourself, why should you be resented by the sky!" ”

Since the death of Tang Ying, the head of the Tang family in Xiangfu, Fenglan County has been as silent as a dead city. However, most of the reason is that this year's winter is so cold that you can see from the coast of the East China Sea, the entire sea has been frozen solid, and many children have even run to play there.

However, time flies, and it has been half a month since Tang Ying's death in a blink of an eye. The gate of the City Lord's Mansion is still closed, as if it means staying at home. The same is true of the other three prefectures, as if waiting for the arrival of the spring season. In fact, otherwise, the three major families of Fenglan County, who seem to be as peaceful as ever, are planning a shocking event at this time. And the person behind this secret plot is a guest in the city lord's mansion, and this person is the lord of the Chinese family, Hua Chunqiu.

I saw Hua Chunqiu holding a freshly brewed "Dream Qianqiu" in his hand and tasting it with relish, with a very enjoyable charm on his face, as if he liked the tea very much.

The lord of the city wrote something on a bookcase, and after putting down the pen, he also picked up the teacup and savored the aroma of the tea.

"Good, good word." I don't know when, Hua Chunqiu actually walked from his seat to the bookcase, and praised him again and again. Then he reads: "A touch of hair, good, good words." ”

"Haha, Brother Hua is polite. Everyone in the world knows that Fahrenheit Kaishu is the first ink in the world, like a dragon's eye, magnificent. It's hard for me to get into the hall of elegance with this little essay! The city lord waved his hand, and then bowed his hand to Hua Chunqiu.

"Hey, the word is like the person, and the word is sublimated. Brother Cheng's imminent four words indicate the meaning that everything is ready, and the meaning in the word can be called the essence of the word, and I think it is better than what Hua wrote. Hua Chunqiu praised and defended on the side.

"Haha, in terms of this erudition, Brother Hua is really unmatched. How's it going, how is this dream? "The city lord really can't argue with Hua Chunqiu's words, half a month ago, Hua Chunqiu suddenly came to the door, and what he said, the city lord thought that he had been defeated, and now only his little power can give him a long face. Without a move, there is only a way to change the subject.

"Well, good tea, sometimes there is nothing in dreams, and a dream can solve a thousand sorrows, which is very understandable. The taste of tea reverberates in the mind, penetrates deep into the heart, and the spirit suddenly prevails over the past. It's wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! "The important thing Hua Chunqiu said three times, it can be seen that he loves You Jia very much for Meng Qianqiu.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Brother Hua to be so knowledgeable, and he was even so good at tasting tea. The little brother is really ashamed of himself! At this time, the city lord said from the bottom of his heart, but he looked at Hua Chunqiu differently, but in his heart, he was even more jealous of Hua Chunqiu.

As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people. The city lord is also a weathered person, how can he not be a little wary of this lord of the Hua family!
