Chapter 13: Divine Reckoning

The official road closest to Wangyun City in Youzhou has become empty due to the sudden heavy snowfall, and there are almost no travelers, chariots and horses on the muddy road. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hongtai Inn is booming because of its proximity to the official post station, and the three-storey inn is almost impossible to find empty rooms. Passers-by trapped in the inn shook their heads and sighed at the sudden heavy snowfall.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, but after a few breaths, the sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, until it stopped abruptly at the door of the inn. Then I saw that the door of the hall was pushed open, and a burst of damp cold immediately swept into the inn. A few people sitting near the door were blown by the cold wind and poured cold snow, and they couldn't help but swing their ways, and subconsciously scolded:

"Where did the reckless ghost come from? Such a big cold wind blows people's headaches. ”

I only heard the person at the door say sorry first, and then he rushed inside and said:

"Someone is going to take our horses to the stables to avoid the snow and feed them some fodder."

This male voice is long and strong, and he is obviously a person who is not weak in kung fu. As soon as he shouted these words with internal force, the people who had scolded him before immediately shut up and went to drink tea. As soon as his voice fell, before Xiao Er could agree, he heard another slightly crisp male voice sound: "The forage should be good, and by the way, I will wash and scrub the horse." ”

As the sound fell, a young man with two teenagers appeared at the door. When the shopkeeper saw that these three people were a little embarrassed by their clothes, they had an extraordinary bearing, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said busily: "A few guest officers, the snow is very heavy today, and it is estimated that it will not stop before sunset, so why don't you rest here for the night?" We still have available rooms in the store. ”

The tall young man nodded in agreement, and the shopkeeper immediately instructed the two juniors to lead the way and feed the horses.

The three of them went upstairs with Xiao Er, and a caravan from the official road came to the inn.

went up to the guest room on the second floor, and after Xiao Er closed the door and left, the two teenagers immediately took off their wet robes. One of the older boys took off his robe and soft hedgehog armor, and just turned his head to speak, but saw a tall young man staring out the window.

"Brother Chu, what are you looking at?"

The man called Brother Chu shook his head slightly: "I didn't see anything, I was just thinking about when the snow would stop." I'm afraid that if you delay here for too long, I'll miss your business. ”

Hearing this, Bai Lixu replied: "It's okay, I was expected to participate in a happy event, but the time has long passed." Fortunately, I had time to get home before the New Year. ”

"I saw that you were in a good hurry before, why have you slowed down again these days?"

Bai Lixu's gaze drifted, and he held the teacup and slurred: "Illusion, illusion." ”

Yin Bai, who looked the youngest on the side, snorted: "Haven't you thought about how to admit your mistake to your family?" ”

Bai Lixu immediately became embarrassed: "...... It's also because I was young and impulsive at the time, so I contradicted my aunt."

Yin Bai looked disdainful: "In less than a year, can you say that you were young and impulsive at that time?" ”

"People are most likely to make mistakes when they are teenagers. When I was as young as you, I was beaten half to death for confronting a loved one, and I still have scars on my body. ”

"It's a strange thing." Bai Lixu's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect that a steady person like Brother Chu had also been young and frivolous, so it seems that maybe I'm not too stubborn." By the way, what did you get beaten for? ”

Bai Lixu spoke casually, because he knew the real name of the man who saved him and Yin Bai on the other side, and he only knew that the other party claimed to be surnamed Chu.

If he knew that the person in front of him at this moment was Chu Huaifeng, the owner of Shenxue Village, who was quite famous on the rivers and lakes, he would definitely not dare to be so presumptuous.

But I don't know if it happened to be Chu Huaifeng in a good mood, so he didn't mind the young man's frivolous attitude at all.

Chu Huaifeng drank tea slowly, his sword eyebrows were slightly constricted, and his eyes were deep:

"Because of a woman."

"Huh? It's really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass. This is Yin Bai, who is very surprised.

Bai Li Xu frowned, supporting his face with one hand:

"I'm because of a man."

Yin Bai squirted out a mouthful of hot tea.

The person who was secretly guarding Yin Bai outside the house also almost fell from the roof.

Yin Bai glared and stretched out his hand to point at Bai Lixu: "You, you, you...... I warn you, our Yin family, three generations of single transmission, you don't want to ......"

Bai Li Xu unilaterally crushed Yin Bai by force to prevent him from continuing to think nonsense.

But after a while, Bai Lixu immediately became annoyed again: "But my mistakes are definitely different from yours, and she will definitely not spare me." Ah, what to do...... I hope she can be an adult and not remember the villain. ”

Yin Bai was the first to recognize Bai Lixu, but he never heard him take the initiative to talk about the reason why he ran away from home. Just as Bai Lixu didn't deliberately inquire about him, he was embarrassed to obsess over this issue.

Bai Lixu put on his ninety-percent dry coat in frustration, and went downstairs with the other two to eat. As soon as the three of them entered the hall, they noticed that in a corner of the hall, several young and powerful men were beating an old man who could not see. Chu Huaifeng loosened into the crowd, gently separated the two sides in three or two, and asked:

"Why do you want to beat up an old man like this? Bullying the less with the more and bullying the weak with the strong is really not the morality of the rivers and lakes. ”

Bai Lixu raised his forehead when he heard this, and sighed secretly, "Here it is again". Chu Huaifeng has done too many righteous and courageous things along the way, if it weren't for the fact that he himself is one of the best masters, and he seems to be honest, he is afraid that he will be beaten and unable to take care of himself. Although he was not worried that he would suffer a loss in force, but he was afraid that he would be used to calculate, Bai Lixu still followed closely by his side with Yin Bai to strengthen his momentum.

The people who were stopped looked up and down a few times, and obviously saw that Chu Huaifeng's ability was not small, so he didn't do it anymore, but explained angrily:

"This old thing is hateful. He just gave me an heir, and he actually said that I was destined to have no children, what nonsense! My son can go to make soy sauce, how can he be destined to have no children? It can be seen that he is a charlatan with no real skills. ”

The old man, who was separated by Chu Huaifeng, retorted tremblingly:

"I have never miscalculated for so many years, and if you calculate that you are destined to have no children, you are childless."

"Hey, how do you talk old man?!"

Seeing that the middle-aged man had taken a few steps forward, the old man who had told the fortune had dodged back:

"Even if you have a son now, maybe that son is not yours?"

Hearing this, Rao is Baili Xu also had a headache. Chu Huaifeng, who has always seemed to be generous, also hesitated:

"This ...... It's not good for the old man to say that. ”

The old man immediately explained: "The old man's fortune-telling has never made a mistake, and since this is the case, then his son must not be his." ”

The middle-aged man burst into muscles: "Nonsense! My daughter-in-law won't carry me out of the wall with red apricots! ”

"That'...... Maybe your son died before you. ”

The middle-aged man's eyes were split, and then he jumped up and pounced on the old man at an incredible angle.

So, the scene finally began to be chaotic.

Bai Lixu withdrew from the chaotic crowd, and soon saw the figure of the old man, who unconsciously retreated from the chaotic crowd, and the cat got up and slipped directly out of the door.

Bai Lixu looked at the still chaotic crowd in that corner, and was very curious, so he grabbed the corner of the old man's clothes: "Old man, just walk away?" ”

The old man looked a little destitute, and his gray hair was tied in a bun on the top of his head, except for a wooden hairpin. The clothes on his body are a little shabby. There seemed to be sticky greasy oil stains on the corner of the clothes that Bai Lixu held in his hand, and he regretted it a little as soon as he grabbed it, but he refused to let go.

The old man didn't seem to expect that he would be dragged by someone, he was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Ahem, the old man still has important things, so let's go first. After that, he raised his feet and left, but was dragged back by Baili Xu, and almost lost a shoe. He didn't wait for Bai Lixu to open his mouth and immediately begged for mercy:

"The young man raised his noble hand and spared the old man. Shaoxia, since you are in a hurry to go home and admit your mistakes, why don't you let me go? ”

Bai Lixu was curious: "Huh? How do you know I'm going home and confess my mistakes? ”

The old man hurriedly said, "I know this kind of trivial matter as soon as I look at your face. ”

When Bai Lixu heard this, he had a thought in his heart: "This can also be seen from the face?" Then you can show me the picture again. ”

The old man couldn't wait to coax the young master, so he quickly got out: "What are you looking at?" ”

Baili Xu thought for a while: "It depends on the relationship between the parents." ”

The old man frowned and looked carefully, stretched out his hand and stroked his beard: "Father died before mother." ”

Hearing this, Bai Lixu was a little stunned. The old man took the opportunity to salvage his clothes, snatched the door, and ran away in the blink of an eye.

Bai Lixu's eyes straightened, and he stood stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and scolded:

"This old thing is really telling me, what 'the father dies before the mother', 'the father dies first', 'the father dies first', 'the father dies before the mother', how to interpret the sentence is correct. There are too many charlatans, and my aunt will not deceive me. ”

Bai Lixu was still thinking about his face, but he didn't want to be pulled by his arm.

"Yin Bai, what are you pulling me for?"

Yin Bai held back the thought of rolling his eyes: "Go upstairs to eat." The meal that Brother Chu asked for before, Xiao Er had already sent it upstairs. He's already gone up, and he's one of you. ”

Bai Lixu wondered, Chu Huaifeng was obviously in the center of the trouble just now, why did he get out unconsciously?

"Brother Chu looked at the old man's loach, slipping away quickly, so he didn't go to join in the excitement and quietly withdrew."

After eating, they each rested and did not mention it for the time being.

Early the next morning, Bai Lixu and his party had breakfast, then rode forward and went straight to Wangyun City. Along the way, Bai Lixu told Yin Bai, who had never been to Youzhou, some customs and customs, which opened the latter's eyes, but Chu Huaifeng was very calm and calm. The three of them rode horses on the road for most of the day, and finally entered Youzhou Wangyun City before sunset.
