Chapter 476: Family and Pen Pals (Part I)
The green field stretched, the sunset gradually turned orange in the foothills, on the hillside, several carriages were parked on the side of the road not far away, and there were people who followed near and far, Ning Yi and Su Tan'er sat down among the grassy slopes, watching Xiaochan and Juan'er Xing'er playing around Ning Xi over there.
"You...... Figured it out? ”
"I don't want to put you here. I had planned before, and after the performance in the two buildings, I was going to come. ”
"How's Yongping doing?"
"You should be ready for the exam."
"I ...... I thought you wouldn't come here so early. Because the secret report said that Gao Muen was looking for trouble. ”
"It's all a trivial matter, Mr. Ji from the Prime Minister's Mansion helped solve it, and the rest of the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and it won't be too big to make a fuss."
"Who is Xiaopin?"
"Huh?"
"I remember the first time I saw Xiaopin, and the two hearts of the word Luo Yi ......"
The woman paused word by word, but Ning Yi's face was full of doubts, as if he had only thought of this at this time.
"That...... Does small frequency refer to people? ”
"Huh?"
"I thought it was something else, in the whole poem, I think these two sentences are the most meaningless......"
“…… Xianggong, you are such a scoundrel. ”
"There's really no ...... called Xiaopin"
The couple laughed for a while about this poem, Su Tan'er pinched Ning Yi's palm, and did not say Li Pin's name after all, otherwise Ning Yi's face would probably have to turn green. After a while, Ning Yi mentioned the matter of returning to Jiangning.
"I brought a few people over and stayed here for a while. I can do something for you, it's kind of an experiment...... If you go back to Jiangning, it's time to pay homage to your father-in-law, in fact, there may be one more thing when you go south this time...... Two days earlier in the capital, Chen Fan came to find me. ”
"Chen Fan......" Su Tan'er naturally remembered this name, repeated it at this time, and after a while, her brows frowned. He...... At this time......"
"The matter of Fang Qi Buddha." Ning Yi looked at Luoxia in the distance. whispered, "He wants me to help......"
After saying this, looking at the hesitant look on his wife's face, he shook his head and smiled: "Of course I can't help anything." ”
Su Tan'er's worried expression eased slightly. I looked down and thought about it. Still frowning: "But...... Can it be pushed off? You...... Want to push it off? ”
"It's not a question of pushing or not pushing. I want to return the favor, but in this matter, almost whoever touches it will die. I explained the background to Chen Fan clearly. Chen Fan can understand. ”
"But...... You're still going to do something, aren't you? ”
Su Tan'er stared at him, Ning Yi sighed, and reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder: "I hope ...... Even if things don't work out, they can at least save their lives, Chen Fan, and the ...... who came over this time Liu watermelon. I wouldn't consider meeting them, Fang Baihua's gang didn't necessarily want to see me, and I didn't plan to contact them, maybe at most...... Let's see if it's possible to meet Fang Qifo, if I can do this, I will be benevolent and righteous. ”
He looked at the child who was clapping his hands and screaming not far away, and paused: "This family has half of yours, so I want you to know about it...... Now that we have kids, I'm not going to mess around. ”
"I don't want to...... If you are prevented from repaying the favor, if I am to repay it...... But I'm always a little worried about such a big thing. Su Tan'er leaned on Ning Yi's shoulder and smiled reluctantly, in these things, women will always think more than men, but after a while, she also calmed down: "Is there any way other than to persuade them to retreat?" ”
"Over there in Jiangnan, there are a few accounts, maybe you can make a fuss, I don't know the specific situation, but I can inform Chen Fan that they know the way." Ning Yi told his wife about those accounts and the rumors of the treasure left by Fang La, "These accounts can't be convicted now, but in many things, there is no need to go to the court to fight a lawsuit." If the person behind the operation is Fang La's lineage, Chen Fan and they will always have some room for maneuver if they find a way to find the accounts. ”
Su Tan'er nodded.
Soon after, the sun burned through the foothills, and night fell. Torches were lit by the side of the carriage, and a few bits of light slowly traveled from the hillside to the small county town not far away, and then converged with the sparse lights in the county town. Due to the arrival of Ning Yi and others, the original small courtyard is now difficult to arrange housing, Tan'er arranged the female dependents in the courtyard, and she and Ning Yi lived in an inn in the county seat. When husband and wife are reunited, there is always a lot to say and a lot to do, and these things are not enough for outsiders.
In the same night, the foothills hundreds of miles south of Kihara were lit up. This area is not a barren area, but is dotted with towns and villages of all sizes in the foothills and hills, interspersed with official roads and rivers. Many villages are also relatively affluent. Recently, due to the news of Fang Layu's crimes, the security of the surrounding villages and towns has become a little stricter, and the people in the green forests and rivers and lakes who come and go have also been more attentive. But after all, it is a fairly peaceful area on weekdays, and even so, the surrounding form will not be as tense as Shandong, and ordinary people may not be aware of the change in the atmosphere in the living area at all.
Located near a mansion in the foothills of a remote mountain, Chen Fan, who was dusty, walked through several secret outposts under the leadership of his original rebel companions, only to see Fang Baihua, who looked tired from his injuries, but his eyes were still divine. The two didn't say much, after a little greeting, Fang Baihua looked at him, Chen Fan shook his head, and the middle-aged woman nodded indifferently, for her, such a result was originally expected.
There are things about Ning Yi, she has heard some of them, and she has also seen people at the beginning, Chen Fan, Watermelon and others are entangled with him is one thing, but if Fang Qifo's matter can be solved by the other party, then it is inevitable that Ning Yi will be too godly. And at this moment, she didn't want to pursue anything for Ning Yi's original matter, it was pointless.
“…… I went to inquire about this matter of the master, the background of the people involved is not simple, the first person who wants the master's life is Wang Huang, and then there are several big families in the capital and other places, respectively......"
Chen Fan whispered about it. Fang Baihua gently raised his hand to interrupt him: "I know the way." ”
"The current matter ......" Chen Fan himself could have died to save the Seven Buddhas, but he didn't want too many people to be buried with him, but his words were difficult to speak, his lips were grinding, and his eyes were blood-red. Fang Baihua looked at him and shook his head.
"Chen Fan, your master...... Actually, I don't want you to get involved in this kind of thing, you are right to think so, if you take someone away at this time, no one will blame you......"
Chen Fan stared at her.
Although he is a disciple of Fang Qi Buddha. But in the past, he was in the army of Fangla. There is also a distinction between superiority and inferiority, and Chen Fan does not hold a very important position, and his relationship with Fang Baihua is not as close as Liu Xigua. Therefore, Fang Baihua's gaze at this time also seemed indifferent. That's putting one's life and death aside. There is no need for people to understand their own indifference.
"Go down. Go meet Watermelon, she's a bit of a temper these days. You young people, be more talkative. There is no need to mention anything else. ”
Chen Fan nodded, and then left.
Recently, on the one hand, the watermelon is facing the former enemy who killed his father, and on the other hand, the people who are companions may not understand the sword camp that withdrew when Hangzhou City was broken, and there is a reason for his temper. When Chen Fan found her, she was sitting on a big stone on the hillside outside the village in a daze, holding her big knife in her arms.
"I see him." Chen Fan said, "But he can't help it." ”
Watermelon's gaze originally moved, and then returned to coldness again. Chen Fan said: "He can't come to see you, but he hopes that you can take care of the overall situation and leave here." ”
The girl holding the giant blade tilted her head, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and after a moment, she said, "He knows that even if he comes, he can't persuade me." ”
"He asked me to bring you a letter." Chen Fan took out a letter from his arms, and originally wanted to hand it to the girl, but looking at the other party's expression, he finally just put it on the stone beside her. In fact, for the current situation, neither of them may feel good, Chen Fan went to Beijing to find Ning Yi with hope, but after coming back, he had to say the words to let Fang Baihua, Watermelon and others leave. And Chen Fan went to Beijing to find Ning Yi, watermelon may also have a trace of expectation in her heart, there is no way at this time, although she is mentally prepared, but of course she is sad and disappointed.
After Chen Fan left, the girl sat there, ignoring the letter next to her, she held the big knife and pressed her cheek to the hilt. It wasn't until the moment when the mountain wind rose and the letter was about to be blown away that she grabbed it.
The moonlight was clear on the mountainside, but it was not enough to read a letter. The girl sat for a while, carried the broadsword behind her back, and walked to a small house not far from the manor. These days, many of the people who saved Fang Qifo didn't want to see her, and she didn't want to see those people, and today when Fang Baihua tried her best to place those people in the manor, she didn't bother to go over at all, and only chose to live around with Du Shu and others.
She walked to the door of the dilapidated little room, put in the half-burning torch, lit it, and sat down on the floor under the eaves with a large knife, and when she took out the letter from the envelope, the paper was densely covered with words, which made her feel a little angry.
She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and although she is also literate, her writing skills are not enough. Sometimes I feel a headache when I read the letters of some literati and scholars, Ning Yi's writing skills are very high, what is the point of writing such an article to show off, I can't understand it. However, after reading a few words, such emotions disappeared without a trace.
"Agua, see the words as faces. It's been almost a year since the farewell to the south, and I don't know what the family around you has become now, and I don't know if you are still as willful as before...... I would love to come and see you, but the situation doesn't allow ......"
The title at the beginning of the article was the one she had disliked before, but the displeasure only rose instantly, because the next sentences were all strange vernacular texts that she could easily understand and had never even seen before. Under the firelight, holding the big knife, the girl's lips were slightly curled, and then she smiled unconsciously, because through the paper, she seemed to see the man who had been separated last year, he was over there, casually and gently talking to her, this feeling made her feel the warmth she hadn't felt for many days, and she followed the paper and kept reading...... (To be continued......)
