53. Woo woo
Traveling all the way east, Lu Yangyan and the others finally arrived in Sichuan ten days later, and this journey was quite rushed.
Because it takes half a month from the Emei flying pigeon to the Wudang faction, of course, the speed of the flying pigeon cannot be compared with the fast horse.
"Sichuan has arrived...... Brother Lu, we won't bother you to do things, take the first step. Zhang Wuji rode on the horse and held the reins, and only nodded slightly at Lu Yangyan, "We are destined to see you again." ”
"Okay." Lu Yangyan responded, "We, there will be a period later." ”
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
Lu Yangyan looked at the three people and two horses who had already ridden away. He strained his legs, and the horse was frightened and walked forward in small steps.
After entering the city, Lu Yangyan dismounted the horse and discarded it at will.
After leaving Zhang Wuji and the others, Lu Yangyan also took off his disguise and restored his original appearance. It's just that because of his amazing appearance and special dress, Lu Yangyan put on a hat for himself.
The flame is clear, and the light is shining.
Lu Yangyan found the Mingjiao Holy Flame marker, he hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled, it seems that the people of Mingjiao have arrived in Sichuan, and the speed is quite fast.
Looking at the color shade of the mark and the dry and hard process, it should have been here for a while.
Lu Yangyan's speculation no longer hesitated and set off for his destination Chengdu. He asked Lu Jiu to pass a message and asked Lu Jiu to gather in Chengdu, Sichuan with a large army.
"Don't run, thief!"
Lu Yangyan collided with a young woman, and the woman was still shouting such words. Lu Yangyan looked at the woman on the ground, hesitated for a while and asked, "Madam, are you okay?" ”
The woman was trying to get up from the ground, she had lost her martial arts, she was aging very quickly, and she was already old before she was forty.
"I'm fine." The woman replied in a low voice, she looked up at the thief who was getting farther and farther away from her, and sighed, "Forget it, I can't catch up." ”
Lu Yangyan looked back, "What did that person steal from you?" ”
"It's just a few ingots of broken silver, and if it's gone, it's gone." The woman pretended to be relaxed, "This young man, I accidentally bumped into you just now because I was chasing a thief, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"Ah, I'm fine, it's just ...... you?"
The woman shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, if Shaoxia is fine, I'll leave first, and I still have a daughter at home." ”
Lu Yangyan nodded, looking at the woman's back thoughtfully. He took the ball off his shoulder, held it in his arms, and touched it.
"Qiuqiu, how could the people of the Emei faction lose their internal strength and shrink in this small place?"
There was a little cinnabar between the woman's eyebrows, and although she had no internal strength, her long-term habit of moving revealed her origin very lightly.
"Meow meow."
"Interesting, really funny." Lu Yangyan raised his eyebrows and walked to a jewelry stall, "Boss, are you familiar with that woman just now?" ”
The boss, who witnessed the whole process, said to Lu Yangyan after greeting a guest, "Ouch Shaoxia, you don't plan to trouble that woman, right?" ”
"The woman?" Lu Yangyan paused, and said in a mysterious tone, "How do you say this?" ”
"Hey, I've been doing business here for decades, and when this woman came here, she used a lot of valuable jewelry with me, but I haven't used it much...... Tut-tut, I didn't expect it to be five or six years, five or six years later, she was followed by a little girl, but it is conceivable that she was already pregnant when she came. The boss wiped the jewelry on the table with a cloth one by one, and told him what he knew.
"Ten years ago, I guess...... I don't remember much about a few years ago, I'm too old. This woman disappeared suddenly, and when she came back, she became like this, and she was also a beautiful woman back then. ”
"Oh, I have one left of what she should give me, because it has words engraved on it, so it has not been sold, if you want me to sell it to you at a low price?" The boss turned out a hosta from the corner, "I really don't know what that woman's name is, but I know that her surname is Ji, she should be a widow, I haven't seen her man appear, and only the mother and daughter have come out." ”
Lu Yangyan took the hosta handed over by the boss, the hosta is made of white jade, the whole body is lubricated, the tail is about a finger width, and there is a small pearl dragged underneath.
As far as workmanship is concerned, it is a very good jewelry.
"Do you know her daughter's name?" Lu Yangyan looked at the hosta and continued to ask the boss.
"What's your name?" The boss made a memory and knocked his head, "Hiss...... This person is old, his memory is not good, and he can't say what comes to his mouth...... I want to think, I want to think about ......"
"Yes, that's right, surnamed Yang! The girl's surname is Yang, and she is called Yang Buregret. The boss replied in the affirmative.
"Good news, five taels of silver." Lu Yangyan rubbed the words engraved on the tail of the hosta, put it in his backpack, and threw out five taels of silver from it and gave it to the boss by the way.
"Hey, thank you Shaoxia, thank you Shaoxia." The boss kept bending down to say thank you, this tael of silver is enough for his family to eat for a year!
Usually, three dollars of silver is enough for their family's old snacks for a day.
These five taels of silver, for his family, are silver that they can't earn without eating or drinking for five or six years in a row!
Lu Yangyan just threw it away, he didn't expect to get so much gratitude from the boss. He let go of his body and said with a smile, "Boss, you have another guest, so I'll leave first." ”
"Oops."
Lu Yangyan left the jewelry shop with the corners of his mouth bent, and didn't find an inn to live in until it was dark. It's okay for him to go slower now, and at his speed, it's enough time to get from here to Chengdu in one day.
"Shopkeeper, can I go back first today, today is my daughter's birthday, and it happens to be an adult's birthday, I ......"
"Xiao Ji, you also saw how many guests there were in the inn today. You're gone, chef, what are my guests eating? ”
The whisper in the corner caught Lu Yangyan's attention, and he turned his head to look. Lu Yangyan narrowed his eyes and walked over, "Shopkeeper!" ”
"Hey, here we are. Guest, what do you command? The shopkeeper replied, looking at Lu Yangyan and smiling like a flower.
"Is this man your cook? You can figure out that finding a woman to be a cook is a loss to the shopkeeper, but in terms of strength alone, it is far from a male chef. The efficiency is definitely not as high as that of men, I don't believe that you are a cook, otherwise she is a woman when so many people eat and drink? Can it be burned? ”
As soon as Lu Yangyan finished talking, the faces of the two people in front of him were a little stiff.
"Now, in this way, you let this eldest sister leave early today and work later tomorrow, and you won't lose anything."
"Yes, yes, I can stay a little longer tomorrow, but I really have something to do today......" The woman also reacted, and bowed to the left and left of the shopkeeper with her hands folded.
"Forget it, you go back, I'll go and urge the rest of the cooks to hurry up." The shopkeeper sighed and waved his hand.
Lu Yangyan followed the woman out of the inn.
"Ji Xiaofu?"
The body in front stiffened, and the woman slowly turned around, stared at Lu Yangyan and asked, "Who are you?" It is also equivalent to admitting it in disguise.
Lu Yangyan smiled softly and took out a white hosta from his backpack, "This thing is yours, right?" ”
"Huh?" Ji Xiaofu was suspicious of the hosta, and after seeing it clearly, she exclaimed, "This! …… How do you have this hairpin? ”
"I bought it." Lu Yangyan shrugged, "In order for you to go home early, I haven't even eaten, you have to invite me." ”
"Then, then you can come with me to my house." Ji Xiaofu hesitated for a while, "You have to tell me how this hairpin got into your hands." ”
"Okay, but let me eat first." Lu Yangyan nodded very happily.
Ji Xiaofu pointed to a road, "Go this way, my house and the inn are not far away, just to come and go quickly." ”
There are not many superfluous words along the way.
Despite the moonlight, the road ahead was still dark. Lu Yangyan took out a fire fold and blew it up, Ji Xiaofu saw this, and was bright, "I've been away from the martial arts for so long, I forgot that there is such a thing as a fire fold." ”
Lu Yangyan did not speak. Ji Xiaofu pursed her lips and said no more.
Soon, the two arrived at Ji Xiaofu's house, although it was said to be home, it was actually a small dilapidated house. Ji Xiaofu smiled a little embarrassedly, "My family is poor, so I can only live here, and I hope that the young man will not dislike it." ”
"Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs, and it is fine." Lu Yangyan looked around and said casually, "But the daughter of the Hanyang Golden Whip Ji family shouldn't be so poor, right?" ”
Ji Xiaofu was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I can't be considered the daughter of the Ji family for a long time." ”
"I'm going to find my daughter." Ji Xiaofu dropped this sentence and entered the back room. She is not afraid of thieves in her home, because the house is so big and there are so many things. Maybe all her possessions together can't afford to buy a piece of clothing for the other person to wear.
The lines on Lu Yangyan's clothes are all gold threads.
Not to mention buying clothes, even buying a shoe is unaffordable.
A person like Lu Yangyan who is in a crazy hurry, if he doesn't have a good pair of shoes, wouldn't the soles of his shoes be broken before he walked for two days.
Lu Yangyan lit the oil lamp on the table, and then lit the candles around him, not even the shell.
"Mother, what kind of big brother is it?"
Lu Yangyan turned to look at the exit of the inner room, Ji Xiaofu took her daughter Yang Buregret's hand and came out, "This is my daughter, Yang Buregret." ”
"Oh, my surname is Lu." Lu Yangyan nodded and said softly.
"Don't regret it, call Brother Lu."
"Brother Lu is good." Yang Buregret bent his crescent eyes and shouted with a smile.
Yang Buregret has a face that is exactly the same as Ji Xiaofu when he was young, Lu Yangyan compared the mother and daughter, it seems that Ji Xiaofu is really old very quickly.
"Don't regret it, you greet Brother Lu, and my mother will go to prepare longevity noodles for you first." Ji Xiaofu patted Yang Buregret's arm and commanded.
"Mother, I see." Yang Buregret was a little familiar, she ran to Lu Yangyan, pointed to the stool behind the other party and said, "Brother Lu, you sit." ”
Lu Yangyan glanced at it and sat down.
Yang Buregret also sat down on Lu Yangyan's left, she raised her head and looked at Ji Xiaofu, "Mother, Brother Lu has me to take care of you, mother, you go and prepare food first." ”
Today is her birthday, and after this birthday, she will be an adult, and she can no longer be willful.
Ji Xiaofu walked out with a smile, and the kitchen was outside.
Yang Buregret poured a glass of water for Lu Yangyan, "The water is still warm, Brother Lu, you can drink a little to moisten your throat first." The food my mother made is delicious, and you want to eat it a second time after eating it once. ”
"Then I'll just wait, I haven't eaten dinner yet." Lu Yangyan turned the cup in his hand, "No regrets, do you miss your father?" ”
"......" Yang Buregret lying on the table, his eyes blank, "I thought about it when I was a child, and I made trouble." But when I grew up, I didn't think about it anymore when I saw my mother working hard to raise me alone. ”
"If my father is still alive, why hasn't he come to me and my mother for so many years!" Yang Buregret has some resentment towards the father who has never met before.
"Perhaps...... Your dad doesn't know your save. ”
"Huh?" Yang Buregret tilted his head, as if he was wondering what Lu Yangyan meant by what he said, "Brother Lu, why are you so familiar with my family's affairs?" ”
"I don't know, it's just a guess." Lu Yangyan took a sip of water and touched Yang Buregret's head, "If you don't regret it, you look very obedient, if your father knew that there was your cunning, he would definitely not bear to abandon you for so many years." ”
"Is that so?" Yang Buregret muttered, "Every time I see my mother thinking about things, I really want to go up and say it, it's useless to just think about it, I have to take some practical action." But seeing that my mother has been depressed, I can't say those words. ”
Yang Buregret lowered his eyelashes, propped up his head with his left hand, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Lu Yangyan, "Brother Lu, or ...... Will you help me persuade my mother later? If my father is still alive, let my mother go to my father by herself, it will always be like the current health is getting worse day by day. ”
Lu Yangyan raised his eyebrows, "I probably don't want to say it yourself, although Ji Xiaofu sometimes can't figure it out, she still spoils you." ”
"Hey......" Yang sighed without regret.
There was a mysterious silence in the room.
"Okay, the fragrant longevity noodles are ready." Ji Xiaofu walked in with two bowls of longevity noodles, "Lu Shaoxia, I cooked this noodles in one pot." However, it is also good to live a long life and eat more. ”
Lu Yangyan smiled and took the two noodle bowls, one in front of Yang Buregret, and the other in front of himself, "Then thank you, madam." ”
Lu Yangyan thought about it and thought it would be better to call him Mrs.
Lu Yangyan didn't know much about Ji Xiaofu, most of them were inquired about from jewelry shops, and the remaining small part was guessed by himself. So for the one he knows now, he has neither a good impression nor a bad impression of Ji Xiaofu.
Although he was puzzled by the other party's stubbornness to raise Yang alone, he didn't have any special thoughts.
But he wanted to know...... What did Yang Xiao think.
