The horses' hooves have already stepped onto the long street.

It was snowing, but there were still a lot of pedestrians coming and going on the street, and the riders had to turn over and dismount, holding on to the reins and moving slowly.

Jiang Xiyi looked around, her eyes didn't know where they fell, it seemed that all the scenery did not enter her eyes, and it seemed that all the scenery entered her heart. She seemed to be thinking.

She looked at it for a long time, and finally took a deep breath of the cold air, then looked forward intently and said, "Tianshu." ”

Immediately behind Jiang Xiyi, there was an echo: "In." ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "Did you find the child I ordered you to find?" ”

Tianshu said: "Not yet, we have searched all the inhabited villages and towns outside the gate, but we have not found a child like that. ”

Jiang Xiyi nodded, then looked sideways at Tianshu, and said, "Has anyone in the village been there recently?" ”

Tianshu said: "Yes, and there are many, there are people from the seven major sword sects who have gone up the mountain and said that they want to ask the owner of the village to teach swordsmanship." ”

Jiang Xiyi frowned and said, "Is there no one else?" ”

Tianshu said: "It seems that there is no more." ”

Jiang Xiyi was dissatisfied: "It seems? ”

Tianshu smiled: "There is always some time behind the exchange of news, and when we receive the news, there is no one else. ”

Jiang Xiyi nodded, stared at the front for a long time, and suddenly said, "What are the new rookies in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Tianshu said: "In recent years, there are two people who have the most reputation in the rivers and lakes. ”

Jiang Xiyi asked, "What kind of people are two?" ”

Tianshu said: "One is Chu Liuxiang, who is known as the generalissimo among the robbers, and the other is Li Xunhuan, who is not new to the rivers and lakes, but his flying knife skills are amazing, that is, Mr. Li's second son." ”

Jiang Xiyi was silent, she was thinking and recalling, I don't know how long it took before she muttered to herself: "I don't know what they are like now." ”

This was not the first time she had been to the gate of this mansion, but the last time she visited, it was called Xingyunzhuang, and now it is called Li Garden.

As the name suggests, it must be the family of a person surnamed Li, and this is Li Fengmian's home.

Jiang Xiyi didn't see the couplet he saw last time this time - "One door is seven jinshi, father and son three tanhua." ”

The little guy at the door, who was gentle and not humble or arrogant, had already gone in to inform the master, Jiang Xiyi was still standing at the door looking at the bright red vermilion lacquer door and the copper ring that looked polished smooth.

When the people within the high walls speak, they all whisper softly, Jiang Xiyi's ears are good, and occasionally he can hear some small conversations, and the song of insects and birds adds a bit of life to this mansion.

Although everything here seems so approachable, from all the little corners, it reflects the splendor of the owner here.

Jiang Xiyi turned around and took a look, the snow on the road was pressing on the branches, and the trees that had entered the winter were no longer alive, but even if the leaves had already fallen, it still made people feel that there was a lot of hope here.

She even wondered if the little chicken feather shop in the alley on the back wall was still there.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiyi heard a rush of footsteps, looked towards the door, and saw Li Fengmian wearing a plain robe, with a black mink coat draped over his shoulders, and a little excited on his face, rushing out all the way.

In the past few years, he has also become a little old, and his original youthful face has now become much calmer, with a slight beard on his chin, and he still looks dignified.

After Li Fengmian saw the group of people at the door clearly, his steps gradually slowed down, but the happy look on his face remained unchanged, he crossed the threshold, stood still and said: "It turns out that you are really here, you have never come down the mountain in the past few years, I have invited you to come to my house many times, but you all refused, I didn't expect it to be true this time." ”

Jiang Xiyi smiled: "There are two reasons for coming this time, one is because someone asked me to deliver something. ”

Li Fengmian asked, "Who wants you to send me something?" ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "You are wrong, it's not for you, it's for your son named Li Xunhuan." But that's not the most important reason I'm here. ”

Li Fengmian said: "What is the most important reason for that? ”

Jiang Xiyi smiled: "Because you keep saying that your family's wine is very good." ”

Li Fengmian laughed a few times after hearing this, and before he could speak, he suddenly covered his mouth with one hand, leaned over and coughed violently a few times, and after he stood up straight, his pale face was with some sickly red.

He was sicker.

Li Fengmian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jiang Xiyi's eyes, and said, "I'm fine, nothing happens, if you want to drink, I can still drink with you." ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "Okay, drinking also depends on the mood and the weather, my mood and weather are not suitable for drinking today." ”

Li Fengmian said with a smile: "Today is the day when friends meet, the day when plum blossoms bloom, and the most suitable day for drinking, come!" Don't say more, I'll take you for a walk. “

Li Yuan's plum blossoms are really good, but they have always been kept at home, which are too soft and beautiful, and lack the spirit of the plum blossoms on Hongmeng Peak.

Even so, it still can't change Li Fengmian and Jiang Xiyi's good mood.

The snow on the courtyard road was swept clean, but the white and holy snow under the plum trees was thick and uncleaned, and the series of deep and shallow footprints were particularly eye-catching.

Looking at the footprints, Jiang Xiyi hadn't seen the figure yet, but he heard a string of laughter, both girls and boys.

Suddenly, the plum tree shook, and the snow on it fell one after another, all sprinkled on a girl's head, Jiang Xiyi looked at it, and the girl was wearing a light purple dress, and the sword was draped with a cloak, and after this piece of silver-white, it looked as beautiful as a violet.

The snow falling on her head did not make her look embarrassed at all, but even more cute, making her a little more delicate and playful.

Jiang Xiyi looked at the clothes and accessories on this girl's body, although they were not golden, but they were also extraordinary, and asked suspiciously, "Do you have a daughter?" Why was it never mentioned? ”

Li Fengmian said with a smile: "This is not my daughter, it is my uncle's daughter, the family situation is complicated, and she is just raised in my family, although she is not her own daughter, but she is also like a daughter." ”

Jiang Xiyi looked at her with a smile and looked back, as if someone was chasing her behind her, after looking ahead, suddenly her face was on the side, all the liveliness seemed to be gone, and she looked as quiet as water, looked at the group of people on the covered bridge, and said to Li Fengmian who was the leader: "Good uncle." ”

Li Fengmian smiled: "You are here, and the rest should be to seek joy." ”

Then he said to Jiang Xiyi and the girl respectively: "This is my niece, called Lin Shiyin." This is my friend, Jiang Xiyi. ”

Lin Shiyin lowered her head slightly, bowed slightly, and said, "Miss Jiang." ”

Jiang Xiyi nodded and looked at Lin Shiyin, her whole person is like a delicate flower that needs to be cared for, anyone who sees her at the first glance will have some unspeakable pity, this is not because of her beauty, but because of her temperament, beauty is in the bones and not in the skin, Lin Shiyin is such a woman. But it's not because her face isn't beautiful, on the contrary, she's beautiful.

She seemed to have turned into her own skin with snowflakes, and then borrowed a few colors from the red plum on the branches, turning it into a blush on her face.

The wind gently blew her sleeves, Jiang Xiyi fluttered between her sleeves, and vaguely saw another person in the plum forest, he was wearing a well-cut dress, wearing a priceless white fox fur, very tall, and his face was also very handsome, he looked young, optimistic, confident, a little unlike Li Xunhuan, and very much like him.

Before Jiang Xiyi could see that person clearly, he was already dragged by Li Fengmian to drink.

She watched Li Fengmian drink glass after glass of wine in her stomach, the sickly red on her face became heavier and heavier, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Drinking is undoubtedly a pleasant thing, but getting drunk is another thing entirely.

Especially after getting drunk, when I wake up the next day, I usually don't stay on the willow bank, and there is no wind and waning moon.

When people wake up, they usually only feel like their heads are five or six times bigger than usual, and they hurt terribly.

In particular, Li Fengmian is not suitable for drinking at all now, let alone drunk.

"You drink too much and too fast, and you're going to get drunk," she said. ”

Li Fengmian waved his hand and said, "If you don't drink, it's not interesting for you to come to see me, so you can only sit face to face and stare dryly." ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "But if you want to live longer, you should drink less." ”

Li Fengmian smiled: "Before today, I haven't drunk alcohol for three months, do you know what it's like to not drink?" ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "I don't know." ”

Li Fengmian sighed: "Actually, it's nothing, but I feel that the days have become longer, and it seems that ten days have allowed me to live for a lifetime." ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "Is your wife okay?" ”

Li Fengmian said: "What's wrong? ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "A responsible man must not only think about himself, but also think about his wife and family. ”

Li Fengmian smiled bitterly: "Now I look at you, as if I see my elders." ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "It seems that your elders are good, I will give you something, and you can transfer it to your second son." ”

Li Fengmian asked, "Why don't you give it to him personally?" ”

Jiang Xiyi said: "Because I'm going to find someone who doesn't know where to find it." ”

Li Fengmian smiled: "Are you going to go to sea to find Shen Lang and them?" ”

Jiang Xiyi shook his head and said, "No." ”

As soon as she stretched her hand back, Tianshu handed over the bookcase, Jiang Xiyi handed over one of them, and said, "This is for Li Xunhuan." ”

Li Fengmian casually took the bookcase and put it aside, didn't look at it, and didn't even ask Jiang Xiyi what it was.

On the same day, Jiang Xiyi left Li Yuan, and like her sudden visit, she left very suddenly. Li Fengmian didn't keep her, because he knew that some people couldn't keep it, so after drinking the last drop of wine in the wine jug, he didn't say anything, and sent Jiang Xiyi and his party out to leave.

The wind and snow covered his vision, and when he could no longer see their figures, Li Fengmian clenched his fists to his mouth, coughed a few times, and slowly returned to Li Yuan.

He looked at the bookcase in his hand, thought about it, and walked towards the cold incense building where Li Xunhuan lived, and when he first arrived at the covered bridge, he saw Lin Shiyin coming from the other side.

Li Fengmian said: "Shiyin, are you going to Lengxiang Xiaozhu?" ”

Lin Shiyin's pale face flew a flush, lowered her head and didn't want people to see it, and said softly: "Yes, uncle." ”

After Li Fengmian pondered for a moment, he raised his right hand, handed the bookcase to Lin Shiyin, and said, "This is what the guest brought to Xunhuan, since you want to go over, help me bring it to him." ”

Lin Shiyin was very curious about the things inside, but she didn't want to ask in front of Li Fengmian, and after nodding, she said, "Okay, I'll bring it to my cousin." ”

After she took the bookcase, she took a few steps forward, turned her feet, turned into a corner, looked at the things in her hand, and was very curious, she told herself that it would be good to just look at it, so she quietly pushed the bookcase away......

On the other side, after Jiang Xiyi and his party left Li Yuan, they quickly left Baoding and went straight to the gate.

It's a long journey, but she knows what the end is, and there's a person at the end.

That person is Ah Fei.

But the journey is so long that there is little hope. It's like walking on a mountain road, you find that the next location is very close to you, but when you step on the road, you realize that this part of the road is unimaginably long.

The cold wind is like a knife, and the snow is flying for thousands of miles.

The snow became heavier and the wind tightened, Jiang Xiyi and his party headed north, and the horses' hooves crushed the snow on the ground.

The inhabited villages and towns have been inspected, and if there is no one like Ah Fei, then he can only be in a place where no one lives.

Jiang Xiyi and his party directly entered the deep mountains at this time, and there were only their group on the mountain road, and there were very few hunters, because the weather was too cold.

The further you go into the mountains, the colder the weather becomes, and the loneliness thickens, but the snow finally stops.

A string of rustling sounds appeared in Jiang Xiyi's ears, and she immediately recognized that this was not a human footstep, nor the cry of a horse.

What exactly?

She knew it right away.

It's a wolf.

They were surrounded by these wolves.

After a few clicks, Tianshu and their long swords were all unsheathed, ready to kill the wolf, and then continue on their way.

At this moment, a child in shabby clothes, who looked no more than six years old, suddenly appeared behind the wolves.

Jiang Xiyi was shocked, and was about to open his mouth to call the child to leave, when he put his hands in his mouth and blew a quick short whistle, those grinning wolves let out a whimper, and even some of them had begun to slowly retreat, and after he blew a steady long whistle again, all those wolves dispersed.

She thought it was weird, but when her eyes fell on the child's face, her pupils shrank. 166 Reading Network
