That night, Ning Yi still slept in the tent outside the hut.

Before dawn the next day, he had already gotten up, and there were already voices in the valley at this time - for these warriors, sleep is not as much as ordinary people, but it is the habit of getting up in the morning to practice martial arts. Ning Yi secretly greeted Zhu Biao, and then secretly led the horse to the side of the wooden house, turned around Hongti, who had also gotten up, and ran away from the side of the valley.

Leaving behind the large army and running away secretly with Hongti naturally looks a little childish. But since he was almost at his destination, Ning Yi was also happy to take time out to do something stupid. After all, this time in Luliang, there was not a single woman among the followers, and at this time, there was also a member of Qingmu Village, Zhao Siye, in the team, if they really wanted to go together, between Ning Yi and Hongti, they would inevitably be a little constrained.

Of course, even if they get rid of the large army and set off secretly, there is not much to do between the two of them for the time being. If you want to talk about sex, explicit love words are not suitable for this year, Hongti's personality is actually quiet, after experiencing vicissitudes, she is more like Baimei who has seen the wind and snow, she doesn't talk much, she prefers to watch Ning Yi do things on the side, or listen to him, sometimes Ning Yi is holding her hand, and there is a helpless sense of pampering while being warm. Of course, sometimes, she would also find some stories to tell Ning Yi, usually not very twists and turns - she was not very good at telling stories.

Ning Yi didn't hate this feeling - in fact, women generally didn't have any interest in these days, ordinary women were very restrained when talking to their husbands at home, and Qinglou was the reason why Qinglou was prevalent. And for this reason. Really go to the Qinglou to satisfy the fleshly desires belong to the inferior enjoyment, more is actually to enjoy love, such as Master Li, such as Yunzhu and Jin'er, after training, the Oiran talk interestingly, deal with it decently, the real value of the Oiran is to be able to give love. But Ning Yi naturally wouldn't be confused by this false feeling, relatively speaking, he liked those simple and sincere warmth. There's not much to talk about.

The night of the first meeting. Naturally, it was inevitable to tell some jokes to embarrass Hongti, and the next morning, when he pulled her away from the rear secretly, he looked at the helpless smile on Hongti's face. Ning Yi just smiled. Thumbs up. Not much. The two walked out of the mountain forest and stepped on the foothills in front of them, and the belly of the fish in the east became white. In the early summer, the refreshing morning breeze is blowing from the front, and the horizontal ditch of Luliang Mountain turns open, overlapping and overlapping in front of the eyes to show its outline, and it looks magnificent and fresh.

As one of the barriers on the west side of Yanmen Pass, this part of Luliang Mountain is actually not friendly to people. The mountain turns, and occasionally you will see sad deep ravines, forests and barren mountains one by one, often infested with wolves - Ning Yi and Hongti saw a group when they walked through the foothills, when the sun was showing in the east, the sky was not yet fully bright, the group of wolves was about a dozen, it should be a small family, was walking over the grassy slope in front, and then looked over this way.

Ning Yi and Hongti didn't turn, and led the horse straight forward. When he walked over, Ning Yi looked at a gray wolf with bared teeth and scolded: "Look at your sister!" In the early morning, the sound was quite loud in the foothills, and the wolf was about to pounce on him with his teeth bared, and when Hongti glanced over there, several wolves retreated backwards with a "whin", and then more than a dozen wild wolves ran away towards the foothills.

"Why can't I feel your murderous aura?" Ning Yi looked at her.

"They'll pounce on them, and I'll actually kill them. Some of them can run, some don't, depending on whether they are hungry or not. Hongti smiled.

"In this way, even if I do pounce, you will not kill me. I know that, so you're not murderous. ”

"That's hard to say."

"Heh, I'll try."

At the foot of the mountain, Ning Yi let go of the horse's reins, twisted his neck, and was about to rush. Over there, Hongti's gaze froze, and his hand was suddenly on his chest. Lifted. Ning Yi's heart tightened, and he involuntarily took a step back, and then looked at his right shoulder suspiciously.

"You rush here, I'll hit you on the shoulder." Hongti said.

Ning Yi scratched his hair: "It's such an exaggeration...... You're really hitting me......"

Hongti didn't answer, but after a while, when the two continued to walk forward, they heard her say softly: "Actually, you don't fight......" Looking back, in the morning light, her eyes were clear and she smiled calmly.

This little episode was a warm joke between the two, and when the morning sun was high, they made a fire by a nearby stream, and cooked salted porridge for breakfast. It's already daytime, Hong Ti put away the cloak she wears at night, she is wearing an ordinary samurai suit that is easy to move, long clothes and trousers, all gray and black, and her figure is still visible - Hong Ti's figure is tall and tall, it won't look slender, but it won't make people feel fat or strong, maybe it's a long-term internal cultivation, she has her own natural momentum in every move, and she also has a sense of strength that cannot be taken lightly. In front of Ning Yi, she is still the chivalrous woman who makes people feel warm and beautiful, and if she is in front of the enemy, she will instantly burst out with a terrifying edge.

It's just that the dress has long been worn out, and there are two inconspicuous patches on the back shoulders and cuffs, which are sewn very carefully with cloth of the same color, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see it.

After breakfast, the two of them got on their horses and walked in the direction pointed out by Hongti. In this place, Hongti is naturally too familiar to be familiar with it, but Ning Yi listened to her introduction and understood a little: where have you fought, where have you killed people, where are there famous mountain bandits, and what has happened.

In the midst of some winding mountains and valleys, Hongti can find some villages or villages, some inhabited, some of which have long since died, and the people who live nearby, but most of them are living in extreme hardship, or have some shelter - if they are better, most of them will be robbed.

The Luliang bandits, who can be on a large scale, will basically develop and plunder towards the towns outside Luliang Mountain.

For the introduction of these things, the red grape is basically quite simple, and every qiē is just like ordinary things. In fact. Of course, this is also an ordinary thing, killing, starving, looting and even cannibalism, Ning Yi is not without such a concept, he can make up a rough idea when he hears it, Hong Ti once said that everyone here "doesn't live like people", Ning Yi also knows it in his heart, for many things, Hong Ti did not elaborate, and it is useless to talk about it in detail. He also knows it. During this day, he ran with the red grapes. What he didn't expect was that such a thing appeared in front of him inadvertently in the afternoon......

It was the village where Hongti used to live—before the people went into the deeper and more evil mountains to form the Aoki Village. Red grapes live in a mountain village. After noon. Ning Yi mentioned yì and wanted to go over and have a look. Ning Yi opened his mouth, and after Hongti hesitated for a moment. Naturally, I agreed.

Walking more than 20 miles northwest of Luliang along their location, they found the small village in the poplar forest under the leadership of Hongti. The afternoon sun was warm and bright, and the village in the grove had long been dilapidated, and the two came all the way to talk about Ning Yi Zhuji.

When I first met in Jiangning, in the small courtyard where Xiaochan said "see you tomorrow with the bell", Ning Yi once said that in the future, he would open Zhuji to Luliang Mountain, mainly to sell roast chicken. Now it seems that it may not be easy to drive over, but fortunately, Ning Yi brought chicken and spices with him in the package. After the two enter the village, they go to find the house where Hongti lived when she was a child.

In this village, there are ruins, mud or wooden houses that cannot withstand the wind and rain for too long without being cared for, but in the village, it is said that the house where Hongti lived when he was a child still has a frame. The two of them cleaned up boredly for a while, set up a table with only three legs, and cleaned up the stove in the kitchen, Ning Yi prepared to roast and eat flower chicken. Hongti fought beside her for a while, and when she had a qiqi and Ning Yi was about to show her skills, she said, There is something to do when she goes out.

"Remember to come back when you are eating." Ning Yi smiled and wrapped mud on the dead chicken and waved his hand. When I go out, I miss it, of course. At this time, the sun had turned to the western sky, but the light was still warm, Ning Yi had actually not done such a thing by himself for a long time, and after tossing for a while, he could smell a slight aroma coming out of the fire.

There were footsteps outside, it seemed to be entering the room next to him, Ning Yi rubbed his hands, and walked out from that side, on the other side of the door of the room, someone spoke with a slow and hoarse voice: "Hongti is back?" Red Grape ...... Coming back? ”

It was a woman who was dressed in rags and clothes, and her whole body was almost black, she couldn't tell the age of the person, one eye seemed to be a little blind, squinting slightly, and two teeth in her mouth fell out, not far away, you could smell the stench coming from her body, it should be a crazy woman, after seeing Ning Yi, her body shrank back abruptly. Hearing that she was able to say the name of the red men, Ning Yi was slightly stunned, and then said, "The red men...... I'm back, I'm her father-in-law. ”

"Huh?" Hearing Ning Yi say this, the woman obviously relaxed her vigilance, and even her eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you...... She's a father-in-law? Red Mention Her ...... She's married, huh? When did you get married? ”

"It's this year, not long ago." Ning Yi said with a smile, "You are ......"

"This year, not long ago? Oh, not long ago...... Hongti is married, where are you from...... Oh, I'm ...... I am, I am Fu Duanyun, it is her Sister Duanyun...... "That woman is obviously just a mountain village woman, she should be crazy, she lives here alone, and she looks like this, but when she heard that Hong Ti got married, her face was full of joy, and Ning Yi was also infected because of this, and nodded with a smile.

"Sister Duanyun, my name is Ning Yi, and I am from Jiangning. Oh, you wait. ”

Ning Yi walked to the stove, took out the water cup from the baggage he carried, took out the towel, fetched water, wet the towel again, and took it out.

"Sister Duanyun, you wipe your hands, you drink water, sit." He moved a stool that he could still sit on and placed it on the edge of the table, and asked the other party to sit down. The woman in front of her seemed to be a little hesitant to wipe her hands, but after sitting down, she still wiped her hands and held the cup.

At this time, the house had no roof, and the walls were only incomplete on three sides, and among the tattered tables and chairs, Fu Duanyun was talking to Ning Yi intermittently like an ordinary woman. asked Ning Yi what he was doing, and said that Hongti hadn't come back for a long time, and talked about what happened to Hongti when she was a child, saying that she was sensible, and also said that she was hungry when she was a child, but when she mentioned the things in herself and the village, it was obviously a little messy.

“…… Recently, everyone has gone out to visit the house, and I went to Runxing's house just now, and no one ...... I, I'm alone at home, ah, my family, and my mother-in-law, go to Fenyang to buy ...... I bought New Year's goods, and I haven't come back yet...... I thought, I'll pour the ground first...... The bucket at home is broken, I want to go over and borrow a bucket, it's not right, I see your door open, and Hongti comes back...... It's good that Hongti is married...... Ning Gongzi, you have to be good to her......"

As she spoke, Ning Yi responded respectfully on the side, in such a chattering time, Hongti's figure came from outside, she also seemed to be looking for something, and when she saw Fu Duanyun, her looking eyes calmed down, and then she glanced at Ning Yi in a complicated way, and walked over: "Sister Duanyun, why are you here." ”

"Oh, Hongti, you, you're back, as soon as you come back, go out and hang out. No, I came to you and saw you. ”

"Xianggong ......" Hongti glanced at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi smiled and stood up from that side: "It's time for dinner, let's leave Sister Duanyun to eat." Sister Duanyun, stay for dinner. ”

"Oh, oh......" Nafu Duanyun nodded in response, and said to Hongti again, "You're going to visit the door...... You're going to visit......"

"I just went to your house to look for you......" Hongti said softly.

"I, I'll come out......" Fu Duanyun thought for a while, and said with a smile, "I want to plant something, the hoe was borrowed by someone else, I went to get the hoe, and when my mother-in-law went out, let me plant some soybeans...... Plant soybeans on ......"

Bright sunlight pours down from above, allowing a warm scent to fill the room.

"Well, soybeans." Red nodded in response. (To be continued......)
