Chapter 6 "Under the Dongyue Mountain"
Leng Moyan turned her head to look at Xiao Xinyi, and saw that her face was normal, and she didn't have a stunning look like her, and after thinking about it, her senior brother Zhong Yuan was also a celestial person, probably except for Zhong Yuan, she couldn't tolerate anyone else in her eyes. When the group of people outside walked away, the two jumped down from the tree, and Leng Moyan asked Xiao Xinyi: "Did he find us?"
Xiao Xinyi replied, "He found it when we just landed on the tree."
Leng Moyan snorted and said: "Even if he is acquainted, he didn't come to provoke us, but he is from Zhuge Villa, I don't know if he is the second son of the Zhuge family."
Xiao Xinyi asked her: "Why do you think he is not the eldest son of the Zhuge family."
Leng Moyan yawned and said: "You have lived in the mountains for a long time, naturally you don't know, the eldest son of the Zhuge family was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, strong as a cow, it is impossible for him to look like this at all."
"Oh? Have you seen it? Xiao Xinyi asked her.
"No, everyone in the rivers and lakes says so, it can't be wrong." Leng Moyan replied.
Xiao Xinyi smiled and stopped continuing the topic and said, "Let's go, are we going to spend the night in the village or stay overnight here?"
Leng Moyan looked at the two corpses lying under the big tree and said, "There must be a lot of dead people in the village now, don't go, let's go overnight, when we find the inn and when we rest."
Xiao Xinyi nodded and replied, "Okay, it's up to you."
The two of them walked out of the woods to find the tethered horses, and walked forward by the clear moonlight. It wasn't until it was dark that I found a small town. I finally found a small inn, slept for two hours, and then continued on my way. The two of them hurried to the border of the town at the foot of Dongyue Mountain on the evening of February 14.
Leng Moyan took off her hat and complained to Xiao Xinyi: "It's finally here, if I run for another day, I'm afraid my waist will break." ”
Xiao Xinyi also took off his hat and let out a sigh of relief and said: "It's already here, but you have to remember that I will be Jiang Haitang in the future, don't call the wrong one." ”
Leng Moyan glanced at her and said, "I know, how many times have you said it along the way."
Xiao Xinyi sighed and said, "Let's go, let's not hurry up to find an inn in the town, you and I are afraid that we will have to sleep on the streets today." ”
Leng Moyan waved her horsewhip and shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to sleep on the streets." Xiao Xinyi followed closely with a wave of his horsewhip.
The sunset slowly set in the backs of the two of them, leaving a brocade of danxia hanging in the air, and a few unknown birds flapped their wings and flew into the woods next to the town. The sun sets, the tired birds return to their nests, and the busy day will come to an end.
By the time the two of them led their horses into Creek Town, it was already dark, and most of the shops on the street were closed. There are pedestrians hurrying by on the road, this town is called Dongting, the original boundary is not big, and it is located in the middle of nowhere, if it is not next to Dongyue Mountain, I am afraid that there will be no outsiders here all year round.
After walking through the first archway of Dongting Town, a group of people came over, and the servant who held the lamp next to him carried a lantern in his hand, and the four words of Zhuge Villa were inscribed on it. The leader was a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, looked the two up and down, his face was slightly suspicious, he raised his fists and saluted the two: "Look at the two girls looking very raw, they must not be from the town." ”
Xiao Xinyi took two steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted back: "What Shaoxia said is extremely true, the two of us came from Lingfeng and were ordered by the family teacher to come to celebrate the birthday of the leader of the Zhuge League. ”
The young man was a little surprised when he heard this: "Down is Duan Chen of Zhuge Villa, I don't know if the two of you can have an invitation from Zhuge Villa."
Xiao Xinyi took out the gold and red post from his luggage, which was engraved with the secret seal of Zhuge Villa. The young man took the invitation with both hands and stroked the dark seal with his hands, his face was overjoyed: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest of the Double Holy Gate, and the alliance leader has been waiting for the two of them for more than a long time, and he also asked the girl to follow me to the villa quickly." ”
After saying that, the two walked out behind the young man and wanted to help the two lead the horse, Xiao Xinyi replied: "Thank you two, let's just come by ourselves." ”
The young man was not reluctant, and handed the invitation to Xiao Xinyi with both hands, Xiao Xinyi took the invitation and glanced at Leng Moyan before saying: "Thank you for the hospitality of the alliance leader, but it is late today, and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, it is better to rest in the town inn today, and then go to the villa to visit the alliance leader tomorrow."
Duan Chen pondered for a moment and then replied: "In this way, listen to the girl's arrangement, there is an inn built by the alliance leader in the town specially for you knights to settle down, please come with me." After speaking, he turned around and led the way in front, and the retinue behind followed behind the two horses.
The group walked for about half an hour and stopped in front of an inn, and the young man turned to the two of them: "This inn is full of knights who will go up the mountain tomorrow, and tonight the two girls will stay here for a while." ”
Xiao Xinyi looked up at the inn, and the plaque on it had the words "Yue Peng Inn". From the outside, this inn is the same as an ordinary inn, but the couplet at the door is not as harmonious as other houses.
"A hundred years of wind and snow in the rivers and lakes, the remnants of righteousness will last forever"
The fourteen characters are strong and powerful, and the insiders can see at a glance that this is carved on the stone pillar by someone with internal force as a pen. Just looking at these few crosses, it already makes people feel that there is a thunderous momentum rushing towards them, but they don't know what kind of characters can carve these words.
Xiao Xinyi came back to his senses and bowed slightly to Duan Chen and said, "The young man is polite." ”
At this time, a young man ran out of the store, bowed to the young man with a smile on his face and said: "It turns out that Xiao Duan Ye is back, the little one hasn't seen you for a few days, every time it is the alliance leader's birthday, the busiest person in the whole villa belongs to you, and when the alliance leader's birthday banquet is over, you must come to the store to sit down." ”
The young man took out a string of copper plates from his arms and threw them into the young man's arms and scolded with a smile: "Little monkey, you are the most clever in the whole inn, I picked up two distinguished guests today, quickly let Cui'er clean up the small courtyard behind a place for the distinguished guests to rest, you lead them to take these two horses to the stable to take care of them, don't be lazy." ”
The young man curiously glanced behind the young man, and saw that it was two slender and tall women, but the night was hazy and he couldn't see their faces clearly, so he nodded and said: "The Xialuoju in the backyard has always been cleaned up, and it is suitable for the two girls to live."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's very good, you go and call Cui'er to come and lead the way." The young man even claimed to have turned around and returned to the inn, and when he leaned, he walked out with a round-faced girl, the girl was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pair of round eyes on her red face, clear and clear, very clever, and when she saw the young man, she hugged her fists and said: "I haven't seen Xiao Duanye come for a few days, and the guests who can be sent by the master himself must not be ordinary people."
Xiao Duan glanced at her and said, "I'll talk about this later, the two girls have been on the road for many days, you can take them to Xialuoju to rest." The girl called Cui'er was also a cool person, and when she heard the words, she no longer inked, and clasped her fists at the two and said, "Two girls, please come with me."
The two clasped their fists and saluted back: "There is this girl." When they walked to the young man's side, the two stopped, and Xiao Xinyi said to the young man: "I'm tired of the young man today."
The young man replied: "The girl is serious, it is Duan's honor to receive two of them today, if the girl doesn't dislike it, you can call me Xiao Duan with them." I'll stay in the front yard today, and I'll take the girl up the hill early tomorrow morning. ”
Xiao Xinyi said: "Then the two of us will thank Duan Gongzi first."
Cui'er made a gesture of please, and the two followed Cui'er to the backyard. All the way to the backyard, I didn't meet anyone on the road, most of the people in the rivers and lakes are hot-tempered, act freely, and usually walk around the rivers and lakes inevitably have bumps and bumps. When I came to celebrate my birthday today, I was afraid that I would encounter people who were not pleasing to the eye on weekdays. So they all went to bed early, after all, this is the territory of the alliance leader, and no one wants to make trouble for themselves on such days.
