Chapter 211: Mountain Rain is Coming
Li Chengfeng frowned and said: "The worldly hypocritical etiquette is really annoying, otherwise as soon as we return to Ziyun City, we will hold a wedding immediately, saving us the awkward need to hide it." ”
Luo Youlan whispered in his ear: "In the past few days, you have been used to being free, and when you go back to the teacher's mansion to see your parents, you have to receive snacks......
Li Chengfeng said with a smile: "Tonight is the last night for us to be free, so we have to chew it carefully and don't gobble it up." ”
Luo Youlan suddenly remembered the metaphor she had just said about children grabbing food, and immediately blushed with shame, pointed at him and said, "Phew! You have taken the golden and jade words that your Rakshasa sister warned you as an autumn breeze. ”
The next day, Li Chengfeng and Luo Youlan originally wanted to get off early in the morning, but they couldn't stand the death of Li Kecheng and his wife and Li Xuan's aunt and brother, so they set up a feast in the mansion to see them off. At the feast, Li Chengfeng repeatedly asked the old abbot Wuzhu Zen Master to stay for a few more days, and he had to let Gou Bucai recover before leaving. After the banquet dispersed, Li Kecheng and his wife mentioned that the 20,000 taels of gold must be packed in Li Gongzi's suit.
Li Chengfeng said: "This is Mrs. Rakshasa game move, why be serious? Besides, we are not ordinary friends, just gold, why worry about it, this matter must not be mentioned." However, Lord Li must take care of his health, and He Tianfu and I know each other, and I hope that Lord Li will be closer to each other, and he may be able to help each other. ”
Everyone said goodbye, Li Chengfeng and Luo Youlan took twenty soldiers and generals to climb the saddle, and it was already past noon. Li Kecheng took many leaders and sent them five miles away from Blue Lion City before they broke up.
Li Chengfeng originally wanted to find a proper place to rest on the day of the gallop, settle the soldiers, and then return with Luo Youlan to spy on Pegasus Village. I didn't want to be said goodbye to Li Kecheng in the Blue Lion City, and I was delayed for most of the day, but when I arrived at the border of Xinping, it was already sunset, and it was not far from Pegasus Village.
As soon as I saw that the sky was not right, the clouds were galloping, and the trees on the mountain road were swaying by the wind, and there was a great tendency for mountain rain to come.
As soon as the two discussed, it was difficult to rush on a stormy night, so they had to find a nearby place to stay and spend the night haphazardly. At this time, a group of people and horses were walking on the ridge of a long hill, with heavy mountains and deep pools on both sides, and there were no people. More than 20 horses galloped on the ridge of the hill, and the sound of hooves was rapid, shaking the valley, and it took a mile or two to finish the hill.
Luo Youlan raised her whip on the horse, and a wisp of cooking smoke came out of a bamboo forest not far in front of her, and said to Li Chengfeng: "There must be someone over there, maybe we can spend the night." ”
Li Chengfeng immediately sent two soldiers and generals to be laid off to visit first, and then make a decision. After the two generals were ordered to go, Li Chengfeng and Luo Youlan led the rest of the generals and slowly walked down the slope of the post.
After walking a short distance, the two soldiers hurried back and reported: "There is only a makeshift grass hut in the bamboo forest, where two big hunters are cooking wild food. According to the guidance of the two hunters, more than two miles away, there is a family living in a mountain bay, which can brew good Songhua wine, make a piece of ghost tofu, receive passers-by, and welcome them. ”
Li Chengfeng said: "Since there is this place, let's go there and see the situation." ”
So the two soldiers turned their horses' heads to lead the way, and when they passed through the bamboo forest, Luo Youlan flew by, and seemed to hear someone riding a horse galloping forward on a small path behind the bamboo forest. At that time, I was in a hurry, it was getting dark, and the wind was blowing tightly, so I ignored the past for a while and didn't care. After a short time of hurried two or three miles, he had arrived at the place where Shanwanzi was, and as soon as the horse's head turned away from the official road, he turned a mountain mouth, and saw a red lantern high in the mountain col from a distance.
Everyone ran towards the red lantern, and when they saw that it was very close, they also had a way to go.
When we arrived at the red lantern, we saw that it was a very decent village, and there was a hopeful building on the gate of the village, and a red lantern was picked on the corner of the watchtower, and there were several layers of tiled houses behind, and there was a mountain peak behind the house.
The construction of this village is very situational, but the gate of the village is closed, no one is silent, Li Chengfeng instructed the soldiers around him: "When the door is locked for the night, the officials who have only spoken the road will go back to White Tiger City with their family members." ”
The soldiers knocked on the gate of the village a few times, and an old man came out of the tower, and saw a large number of people outside the village, but he was not surprised, only asked a few words, and then went downstairs to open the door of the wall.
Li Chengfeng, Luo Youlan and the generals dismounted together, Li Chengfeng didn't dare to lead this large number of people to go straight to the ground, and between the meanings, he wanted to go in with Luo Youlan first, and explained to the owner of the village before arranging. The old man who didn't want to open the door was able to call the shots, and he was very welcome to invite the generals and horses into the gate together, but fortunately, there was a vacant space in the gate that could accommodate it. The old man closed the door and told them to stay less, and he had to go inside to report.
Li Chengfeng and Luo Youlan looked at a three-room building near the village, and it was dark and silent, and it seemed that there was no one living there. The old man went inside to make a report, and also went around the side passage outside the building to the back.
Suddenly, the fire was blazing under the building, and a heavy door in the middle opened, and a group of majestic women of high and low came out of the door. Two women held two lanterns, leading a woman who rubbed powder and grease, and was full of splendor, with a colorful embroidered handkerchief wrapped on her head, and a red flower on the side of the handkerchief, but she looked very ugly and unsightly, a pair of sow eyes, and kept looking at Li Chengfeng and Luo Youlan, and said: "There are not many men in the family, and today there is something far away, leaving only an old man who guards the door. In the rooms downstairs, I asked the entourage of the noble officer to rest in peace at will. ”
This woman was actually very polite, and those women seemed to be well-informed, and they were not surprised to see that everyone was carrying swords and crossbows, so they immediately invited Li Chengfeng and Luo Youlan to enter, and at the same time assigned a few strong women and the old man to entertain ordinary soldiers, with a courteous attitude and a thoughtful face.
When Li and Luo knocked on the door to spend the night, they calculated the distance and direction, and knew that they had entered the border of Xinping, which was about not far from Pegasus Village, so they couldn't help but pay attention everywhere. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the gate, except for an old janitor, there were only women in the whole family, and they were courteous, and they were really in line with what Orion said on the road, and they were calm in their hearts. I also secretly calculated, wanted to ask the path, and took the nearest night to explore Pegasus Village.
At this time, the two followed the dressed woman, walked through the front building, and walked into the backyard hall. The woman commanded several women to arrange wine and dinner for guests, and she accompanied the two to talk, asking about the whereabouts of the two. While we were talking, the smell of wine was fragrant, and I saw several women carrying out two large urns of wine from behind, as well as fruits and meals, and so on, and sending them to the front building.
The two couldn't be polite, so they had to bother, sat down safely, and the woman accompanied each other, personally holding the pot to persuade the wine, and said: "This is my family's home-brewed Songhua wine, and all the passers-by who have stayed at my house have not said good, and the two of them will know it when they taste it." ”
Li Chengfeng couldn't help the woman's Yin Yin's persuasion to drink, and after eating a few bites, it was really fragrant! When the Miao girl saw that Luo Youlan did not touch her lips, she immediately persuaded with a smile. Luo Youlan said with a smile: "I really haven't drunk a drop of wine in my life, but the master himself probably doesn't like to drink, so the cup is empty, so I will accompany the master to drink." ”
Luo Youlan didn't like to drink the truth, but when the woman heard it, her face changed!
