Chapter 44: Three Steps Must Fall

Although Luoshan Town was indeed not far from the small village where Xiang Yantian was before, it took them nearly half a day to arrive. Please use this site. She was the only one who lost, and it didn't take so much time to arrive, but she was accompanied by the old gentleman who led the way, and she had to slow down in order to take care of the elderly.

Along the way, the scenery was very good, and Xiang Yantian's mood couldn't help but improve. Of course, this is not only because of the scenery, but also because of the news of Yan Qing.

Half a day later, when they arrived at the small town of Luoshan, it was almost dusk. The sunset in the west dyed the sky red, and the scattered pedestrians on the simple town streets were illuminated by the sunset, leaving a long shadow on the ground.

Standing at the entrance of the town, Xiang Yantian did not enter immediately. Standing at the entrance of the town, she suddenly became quiet in an instant, and a pair of willow eyebrows were also slightly frowned, the pedestrians in this town are really strange, everyone is suffering with a face, and each face seems to be covered with a layer of haze. After a moment's pause, her brow furrowed, and she strolled into the town. It's just that what she didn't see was that the moment she frowned, the old gentleman standing behind her also frowned imperceptibly.

"Sir, it's not early now, and you must be tired after such a long journey, right? Let's find an inn to rest first. As he walked, Xiang Yantian suddenly turned his head and smiled indifferently.

Hearing her words, the old gentleman was obviously stunned, but soon showed a warm smile: "Thank you Miss for your concern, that's fine." ”

Turning her head, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and then she walked towards an ordinary inn not far away. When he saw this old gentleman for the first time, Xiang Yantian was a little vigilant. In the three years in the valley, although she has not experienced the world, but due to the careful teachings of Granny Yan Yu day after day, she is no longer the little girl with an ignorant and kind heart back then.

A simple town, even its inns are austere. Walking into the small inn with only one floor, she was greeted by a few dusty wooden tables and a few simple benches. There wasn't even a single guest in the cramped inn, and a man who looked like a little second was standing behind the counter napping, unaware of their entry.

"Hehe, there are few guests in the town, and the service of this inn is only like this, I hope the young lady will not be surprised." The old gentleman smiled apologetically and said.

"The old gentleman is too worried, how can I mind such a trivial matter?" Xiang Yan poured back a smile.

"Miss is really not an ordinary woman!" The old gentleman continued to speak flattering words.

It seemed that their conversation was too loud, and the man who looked like Xiao Er, who was napping on the counter, woke up, rubbed his eyes, and shouted with some dissatisfaction: "Are you going to eat or stay in a hotel?" ”

The sudden dissatisfaction of the shopkeeper made Xiang Yantian slightly stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect that there would be people who were dissatisfied with the door-to-door business, you must know that in ordinary cities, merchants are very welcoming to customers. It's just that in the past three years, she has developed the habit of not revealing her true thoughts in her heart. With a touching smile on her face, she replied, "We're here for dinner." ”

"What to eat?" Xiao Er asked casually. It's just that when he said this, he happened to see the old gentleman who was leaning behind Xiang Yan, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of fear, which was like seeing a natural enemy.

As if feeling the gaze of the little second brother, the old gentleman raised his head slightly and set his eyes on him: "Let's have two bowls of noodles." The eyes of the two met in the air, but just by touching it, the little second brother hurriedly turned his head, and then hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Although this qiē was quite secretive, it did not escape Xiang Yantian's eyes. Witnessing this qiē quietly happening under her nose, the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc, and something was hammered in her heart. It's just that she didn't expose this matter, but turned around and smiled at the old gentleman, waved her sleeves at a pair of tables and chairs, blew away the dust on them, and then politely made a "please" gesture: "Old gentleman, please sit down!" ”

He hugged Xiang Yan and replied with a courtesy unique to Jianghu people: "Miss is polite!" Then he sat down on a stool.

Not long after, the little second brother ran out of the kitchen, still holding two bowls of steaming noodles in his hands, with a warm smile on his face, which was similar to his previous attitude. It's just that his actions are indeed very neat, and even Xiang Yantian has to praise him for his quick actions.

"The two guest officers have been waiting for a long time, and the meeting is here!"

Looking at the two bowls of steaming and crystal clear noodles on the table, the light in Xiang Yantian's eyes was a little sluggish, and he fell into silence.

"Miss, eat it while it's hot, although the town is remote, the pasta is still quite good." Seeing that Xiang Yantian seemed to be in a daze, the old gentleman reminded with a smile. When he smiled like this, some wrinkles squeezed out on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, and his appearance actually gave Xiang Yantian a kind feeling, and the smile of this person in front of him was like her grandfather.

"Hmm." Answering softly, Xiang Yantian picked up the wooden chopsticks that had already been placed aside, and was about to pick up the noodles in the bowl.

While she lowered her head and picked up the noodles, the old gentleman sat quietly beside him, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Before the noodles reached his mouth, Xiang Yantian suddenly changed his mind, grabbed the sword that had been placed by his side with his left hand, and stood up directly from the stool.

"Miss, what are you?" The old gentleman looked puzzled.

"How long are you going to hide?" Xiang Yantian's face turned completely cold, which was completely different from the previous appearance with a gentle smile on his face. If she was the March sun before, now she is the ice and snow in the cold winter.

As soon as her words fell, the old gentleman's face immediately changed greatly, and he jumped up from the stool violently, and then pulled his legs and ran in the opposite direction, his movements were comparable to that of a young man!

"King, save me!" The old gentleman shouted at the top of his voice.

"Where to go?" Xiang Yan jumped up in one step, and actually caught up directly with the old gentleman who fled first.

"What's the panic?!" A deep voice came from outside the door, and a rough-looking man walked in, "This little beauty has been hit by the colorless and tasteless 'three-step down', and the medicinal power will attack soon, I can't do anything to you!" ”

As soon as the man's words were finished, Xiang Yantian felt a roar in his brain, a dizziness in front of him, and in an instant, it seemed that the world was spinning.

Oops...... She felt herself sinking into the darkness.
