Chapter 139: Juye Daze
The winter nights are even quieter, as if the whole earth has fallen asleep and cannot make a single sound. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The light emitting from the info moon does not have a trace of temperature and looks so cold. Suddenly, a dark cloud swallowed up the moon, plunging the land into darkness and making the night seem quieter.
On such a quiet night, there are four people who hurriedly merge in between, adding a little vitality to this cold world.
Among the four pedestrians, there is a big man who is strong and stout, with his chest exposed; A young man with a slightly immature complexion, with a strange front of his eyes and double pupils; There was also a middle-aged man with an iron sword in his arms, he was in his thirties, and his eyes often showed a little melancholy that could not be erased, and he still looked at the young man from time to time, and his eyes were full of doting when he looked at him; The last person was an eight-foot-tall young man, in his early twenties, with a handsome and sunny face, but his brows were tightly locked, as if he had something on his mind.
These four people are, of course, Li Yan and Fan Xu, as well as their uncle and nephew Xiang Liang, who they just met.
At Xiang Yu's strong request, he and his uncle Xiang Liang followed the clues left by the thieves with Li Yan and Fan Xu, and it was difficult to find any traces at this point, so they could only go all the way north.
Soon they saw a huge lake, which, according to Xiang Liang, was Juye Daze.
I saw that there were withered reeds everywhere around this giant field, and I couldn't see how big it was in the dark night, and it was dark in front of it.
In this case, with such a complex terrain, how to find those thieves?
"Looks like we'll have to wait here until dawn!"
Fan said with a humming voice.
Li Yan looked left and right and said, "You guys are resting here now, and I'll go around to see if there is anyone." ”
Xiang Yu listened and said, "I'll go with Brother Li!" ”
Li Yan saw that Xiang Liang and Fan Hao had no opinion, nodded and went with Xiang Yu.
They searched around for a long time without seeing people, let alone the slightest light, so they had to return in vain.
When Li Yan and Xiang Yu returned, Xiang Liang and Fan Hao had already lit a fire, and they were sitting by the fire to keep warm. Xiang Liang held a wooden stick and kept picking up the burning wood in the fire to make them burn more vigorously, while Fan Hao sat by the fire and took a nap, snoring loudly.
Xiang Liang saw that Li Yan and Xiang Yu were coming, so he asked them to sit down quickly.
"You didn't find anyone, did you?"
Li Yan nodded.
For a moment there were no words, only the sound of Fan Xu's snoring and the crackling sound of burning wood.
The light of the fire shone on their faces, and it startled the birds hiding in the reeds.
Unconsciously, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu also fell asleep, only Li Yan was still thinking about things, listening to their snoring, in this quiet night, his mind became unusually clear.
He has been thinking about a question, how could this thief from Juye Daze run to Pei County and suddenly plundered the beautiful girl and Niuniu who had nothing, is it because of the beauty of the beautiful girl? But how could his thieves know from afar? And it just so happened that he was invited by Liu Ji to have a drink!
He thought of Lu Pheasant again, thought of Lu Pheasant's father who agreed to Liu Ji's marriage contract, and thought of what he said to him when Liu Ji went to give a dowry gift in the wine shop! His mood slowly became heavier.
When the day gradually came, it was customary to let them rest, and Li Yan ran to the distance and began to train hard.
The sky gradually brightened, and the fish belly white appeared in the east, when Li Yan finished training and walked to the fire again, they had already woken up, Xiang Liang and Fan Xu were standing by the lake and staring blankly at Daze, Fan Xu was stretching his waist from time to time, and Xiang Yu was roasting a grass carp on the fire.
"I just caught it from Daze, and it's about to be cooked, so I'll taste it later!"
Li Yan stretched his muscles and sat next to Xiang Yu.
"You really have a lot of skills, I didn't expect the fish to be so well grilled!"
Xiang Yu was complacent and said with a smile: "That's!" This is all taught by his uncle, he said that he can learn to survive when he goes out! ”
Gradually, the fragrance of grilled fish spread, attracting Xiang Liang and Fan Hao to quickly sit down.
"Don't worry, everyone will have it, this first one, of course, is for my uncle!"
Fan Hao was disappointed and sighed!
Li Yan looked at Fan Xu, his heart moved, and asked, "Brother Fan, was the dowry gift that Brother Liu gave to the Lu Mansion that day all prepared by your brothers?" ”
Fan Xu didn't think much about it, and said casually: "Of course, Brother Liu is a person who does big things, and he has no concept of money at all, where is there any money, his family is also poor, even if some money is spent by him, this dowry can only be raised by these brothers!" ”
Li Yan pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then the dowry was not given out later, and the money you raised for Brother Liu has already been returned to you, right?" ”
Fan Xue said: "Speaking of which, I have to say that Brother Liu is righteous enough, but for the sake of you, a brother, he doesn't even want his own reputation." He never bothered us with any money, so how could we be embarrassed to ask for it back again? ”
Li Yan was silent, is Liu Ji really like this, can he give up everything to win people for his friends? If that's the case, will he still be able to gain the world in a weak situation? If this is the case, will he still kill all his brothers who follow him after he wins the world? Especially those who are not the heroes of Peixian's neighbors, there are not many who have a good end!
He thought all the way, filtered through all the people he had come into contact with and knew from his mind, and always felt that only Liu Ji was the most suspicious.
Today, it was confirmed from Fan Xude's mouth that those dowry gifts were not returned to them, which made him more suspicious. Did he not give up on Lu Pheasant, and was ready to send the dowry over again? Or did they give the bridal price to the robbers as a gratuity? There are also Lu Juan and Ergouzi, is it a coincidence or necessity that they are in the wine shop? When Ergouzi was talking about this matter that day, why did he look at himself with panic? At that time, I thought he was frightened, but now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's not that simple!
Li Yan was pondering in a thousand thoughts, and suddenly a fat grass carp appeared in front of his eyes, it turned out that Xiang Yu had grilled the second fish, the skin was golden and fragrant.
Li Yan took the grilled fish, and when he was about to eat it, he suddenly heard a gurgling sound. He looked for prestige, only to see Fan Hao looking at the fish in his hand, drooling.
He couldn't help but smile wryly and handed the fish to Fan Xu.
"Brother Fan, let's eat first! I'm not hungry yet, I can wait a little longer! ”
Fan Hao was overjoyed, took the fish in Li Yan's hand, and wanted to feast on it. Suddenly, Li Yan said, "Look! There's a boat coming over there! ”
