Seeing that the villagers were flustered, Han Yi hurriedly ran over, explained, calmed everyone's hearts, and let everyone disperse, leaving only two or three strong villagers in case this ugly man suddenly went crazy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yang Ning asked Han Yi to go back to the house and bring a bowl full of food, Han Yi sent the bowl of rice over, but the ugly man immediately retreated, staring at Han Yi with hostility in his eyes, and did not take the dishes and chopsticks.

Yang Ning took the chopsticks from Han Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "If you are hungry, this is food, and if you are full, you will not be hungry." ”

It's strange to say that the ugly man was full of hostility towards Han Yi and the others, but when he heard Yang Ning's voice, although he was still a little cautious, his hostility was much weaker.

Yang Ning approached him, he didn't retreat and dodge like avoiding Han Yi, but took the rice bowl, but did not take the chopsticks, directly grabbed the food in the bowl with his hands, and devoured it, as if he had never eaten, Yang Ning saw it in his eyes and knew that he must be extremely hungry to do this.

It's just that this person has been holding the big one with his hand before, and his body is wrapped in the big one, and it is difficult to see his body, and at this moment he stretched out his hand to take the rice bowl, and the big one was open, and he was naked, wearing only a pair of tattered shorts, Gu Qinghan saw it, "oops" and screamed, and immediately turned around.

Yang Ning could see it clearly, and saw that this person was also covered with dirt, but the dirt all over his body could not hide the scars on his body.

The body was scrawny and criss-crossed, and the scars were not knife wounds, they were scars made of countless thin cuts.

Yang Ning was naturally clear about this, knowing that this ugly man was wandering around, especially in the mountains, he would inevitably be cut and scratched by rocks and thorns, but he didn't know how to deal with the wounds, which led to scarring on the wounds, not to mention sixty or seventy scars, from the upper body to the two legs, just like a prisoner who escaped after torture.

The ugly man was sitting on the ground at this time, swallowing with relish, and ignoring everything around him, Yang Ning took the opportunity to observe carefully, thinking that if this person was as he guessed, he was a lost family member of a large family, then he must have been missing for a long time, and seeing his beard curled into a big ball, it would not be able to accumulate in three or five months.

As for the precious bear skin on his body, the original hair is already very thin, but fortunately, the bear skin is tough, although it is old, it is not broken.

He was thinking about where this ugly man was sacred, but he saw the ugly man suddenly hand over the rice bowl in his hand, looked at Yang Ning with a blank eye, and said, "Hungry...... Food......! ”

Yang Ning could only ask Han Yi to get another bowl, three bowls in a row, the ugly man seemed to be still unsatisfied, Yang Ning thought to himself that this village was not rich, the rations of each family were already poor, and he couldn't let this guy eat all the time, seeing that the ugly man's stomach had been propped up, he couldn't break his stomach, and he didn't let him continue to take food.

The ugly man saw that Yang Ning didn't mean to let people get food again, so he simply wrapped the big man again, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Han Yi asked people to look at the ugly man first, the night was dark, and it was naturally impossible to report to the official at this time, so he was going to send someone to the yamen the next day.

He only thought that Gu Qinghan was a man, so he only vacated a room for the two of them to rest, Gu Qinghan only felt that it was inappropriate, but it was late at night, and it was not good to alarm others, so he had no choice but to think that he didn't have to sleep at night, just stay up all night, and when the day dawned, he immediately rushed to the old house of the Qi family.

The two were in the same room, Yang Ning didn't care, he slept on the ground very consciously, although Gu Qinghan was a little reluctant to let Yang Ning suffer, but it was always difficult for Yang Ning to go to bed, so he could only lie on the bed with clothes.

Although the ugly man was quite eccentric, Gu Qinghan had nothing to do with him after all, and she didn't care very much about the ugly man's whereabouts, she just thought that there had been such a big change in Fengyi, and the people had quite a prejudice against the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, which greatly affected the prestige of the Qi family in Fengyi, but she didn't realize it before, and was completely kept in the dark.

She thought a lot on the bed, couldn't sleep at night, not long after, heard Yang Ning snoring slightly, sat up from the bed, saw Yang Ning lying on the ground on her side, her heart was quite unbearable, hesitated, picked up the futon, got out of bed and hugged the futon over to cover Yang Ning, saw Yang Ning sleeping thickly, smiled bitterly, and said softly: "Ning'er, do you know that it may not be a good thing for you to grow up, and many burdens will be on you in the future, you are pampered, and I don't know if so many guts can bear it." Youyou said: "No matter what, Sanniang will be by your side, no matter what happens, I will bear it with you." "Go back to bed and lie down quietly.

Yang Ning naturally didn't really fall asleep, he was most afraid that Gu Qinghan would suddenly think of what happened during the day, and ask about the source of his martial arts, so he simply pretended to sleep early to avoid trouble.

Hearing Gu Qinghan whispering beside him, he felt it in his heart.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yang Ning was woken up by Gu Qinghan, got up and saw Gu Qinghan looking haggard, and exclaimed: "Sanniang, you won't have slept all night, right?" ”

Gu Qinghan shook his head slightly, and said softly: "Let's not delay here, rush back to the old mansion as soon as possible, there are still many things to do." ”

Getting up here, it naturally alarmed Han Yi, the two of them simply washed up, and said goodbye to Han Yi, Han Yi was also worried that the comeback of Steward Luo would be unfavorable to the two, since the two of them wanted to say goodbye, they naturally did not stay, and when they went out, they saw the ugly man lying not far from the door, obviously still sleeping.

"I'll leave this man over to you." Yang Ning whispered to Han Yi: "The one surnamed Luo left a few horses, which should be regarded as compensation for the losses in your village." Han Yi thought to himself that this is not up to you, those few horses, it is impossible for the whole village to buy one by smashing pots and selling iron, Yang Ning didn't say much, went over to untie the reins of the horse, and Gu Qinghan walked out of the village, got on the horse and left.

The horse galloped, and after only a few miles of travel, Yang Ning felt a shadow passing by him, and was stunned for a moment, and then saw that a figure had run in front of him, and at a glance, he recognized that it was the ugly man.

Gu Qinghan was also taken aback, and said, "Why did he keep up?" ”

Yang Ning reined in the horse, the ugly man also stopped in front, standing on the side of the road and looking at Yang Ning, Yang Ning glanced back, the village was already gone, and looked at the ugly man again, his face showed surprise, "He..... How did he catch up? ”

Gu Qinghan was also shocked: "Is it possible..... Could it be that he caught up on two legs? I just felt incredible, after leaving the village, the two of them let the horses gallop, the speed of these two horses is not slow, this moment has galloped out of several miles, just out of the village when I saw this ugly man still lying on the ground asleep, but in the blink of an eye, he actually caught up, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Gu Qinghan would never believe that there was such an unbelievable thing happening.

Yang Ning was also shocked at the moment, he had heard that this ugly man was extremely fast, and he was caught stealing chickens several times, and he relied on his speed to avoid the chase of the villagers, but he didn't see it in person, this time he saw it with his own eyes, and it was much faster than he thought, completely beyond the limit of the human body, and he was horrified.

The ugly man was still wrapped in black, looked at Yang Ning, and repeated: "Hungry, eat!" ”

Yang Ning came back to his senses and thought about the ugly man: "Why did you catch up?" Go back to the village quickly, someone there will give you food and help you get home. ”

The ugly man didn't seem to understand Yang Ning's words, he just looked at Yang Ning blankly, and kept repeating those two sentences in his mouth.

Yang Ning thought to himself that he was kind last night, and this ugly man actually used himself as a meal ticket, thought for a while, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it over, and said, "You give this to them, they will give you food, don't follow us again." "I secretly thought that I still had things to do with Gu Qinghan, and I couldn't always bring a weird ugly man by my side.

The ugly man picked up the silver from the ground, and with a hint of anger, suddenly smashed it with it, and roared a few times in his mouth.

Yang Ning took it, Gu Qinghan frowned on the side and said, "Let's not entangle with him, this person is unknown, he can't be easily contaminated, and if he can't keep up with us, he will go back to the village." With a squeak, he patted the horse and left, Yang Ning did not delay, urged the horse to step forward, bypassed the ugly man, and flew away.

Yang Ning looked back to see if the ugly man was still keeping up, only to turn around, he saw that the ugly man was opening his legs, just a stone's throw away behind his horse, his speed was by no means under the horse, the big man floated up behind the big man, the hunting sound, and the ugly man also seemed to fly.

Yang Ning reined in the horse again, turned the horse's head, frowned, and said, "Go back quickly, if you don't go back, I will beat you." He raised his hand and raised his whip to smit at the ugly man.

The ugly man was a little frightened, hurriedly retreated, his body shrunk, and looked at Yang Ning pitifully, Yang Ning roared: "I don't have anything to eat here, I have something to eat when I go back to the village, and I am not allowed to follow up." "Round back the steed, pat the horse again and go.

After letting the horse gallop for a while, he turned around again and saw that the ugly man was still following behind, but it seemed that he had just been frightened by Yang Ning and pulled away some distance.

Yang Ning was helpless in his heart, and he didn't care about him, so he rode his horse.

The two went all the way to the south, at the beginning, Yang Ning turned back several times, and saw the ugly man following behind, galloping out of more than ten miles, the figure of the ugly man was far away, Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that the ugly man's endurance could not match the horse after all, although the speed under his feet was terrifying, but after a long time, his physical strength could not keep up, and he was naturally left far behind.

Non-stop, the sun was rising in the east, Yang Ning estimated that in less than two hours, he heard Gu Qinghan say in front: "Ning'er, the old mansion is in front." Slowed down the speed of the horse, raised his hand and pointed forward, Yang Ning looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that under the vast sky, a manor appeared, with blue bricks and red tiles, connected together, very conspicuous.

In front of the courtyard of the old house of the Qi family, there is a large pond with clear water quality, around the pond, every few steps away there is a willow, and the wind fine willow, lined with the old house, but with a strong wind of ancient charm, and behind the old house of the Qi family, is a dense green bamboo forest.

The old house is close to the southwest, but there are dozens of sparse families, but the old house of the Qi family is a single-door family here, and there are no other families on the left and right, which seems to be quite lonely and lonely.

A few decades ago, it used to be quite lively.

The Qi family used to be a big household in Jiangling, and there were also shop properties in Jiangling all over Jiangling, including Jingzhou City, but later the old marquis of Jinyi followed the first emperor of Great Chu to conquer the world, donated almost all the industries, and only retained the old house of the Qi family.

The old mansion of the Qi family is here, and others naturally do not dare to approach this old mansion to build a house, but this old mansion is now lonely here, only whenever the Qi family returns from the capital, this old mansion will really be lively.

Although it is only a lonely old mansion, this old mansion is a symbol, and no one dares to have the slightest disrespect for this old mansion.

The red gate is very eye-catching, there is a stone lion on the left and right in front of the gate of the old house, majestic, Yang Ning and the two got off the horse in front of the old house, looked up at the door, just simply wrote the word "Qi House", and there is not too much whitewashing.

Yang Ning glanced at Gu Qinghan, then stepped forward to buckle the knocker, knocked a few times, no one agreed at first, Yang Ning buckled a few more times, and then heard a "click" sound inside, the red door opened, and a little old man in his fifties poked his head out and glanced at it, and asked: "This is the old mansion of the Marquis of Jinyi, who are you looking for?" ”

"Tell Chief Manager Qi Hongqi that the prince of Jinyi is back." Gu Qinghan had already dismounted and stood beside Yang Ning, his voice was indifferent, and there was no expression on his beautiful face.

The little old man was stunned at first, looked at it a few times, shook his head with a suspicious look on his face, and said, "You can't see the chief manager, the chief manager can't see anyone anymore!" ”
