The sky gradually darkened, Chu Fan cautiously leaned in from behind the boulder to take a look, and there was no one on the sheep intestine path.

When he shrank back, the heavy fish scale armor on his body made a hissing sound.

I have to say that the stone ladder is indeed too steep, even with the help of the long bamboo spear, the horse bandits still can't break through Chu Fan's defense line with only one person - in the next two battles, Chu Fan slashed the other two again.

After Gao Fengji calmed down, she remembered that she still kept a pair of fish scale armor handed down from her ancestors at home, and quickly took it out and put it on Chu Fan; When rummaging through the fish scale armor, he found a cross crossbow again, and this time Chu Fan was fully armed.

Because of the threat of crossbow arrows, the horse bandits retreated for a long time, and when they returned, their weapons were upgraded - bows, crossbows, and even a Japanese iron cannon.

But the twists and turns of the sheep intestine trail greatly discounted the horse bandits' long-range weapons: they couldn't spread out on the narrow path, they could only attack one after another at the bends of the trail, which made Chu Fan, who was hiding behind the big stone, take advantage of it - he put a small mirror that Yan Ruxue brought with him on the opposite side of the big stone, when the horse bandits attacked, how many people came, and where they were hiding, they could see it clearly, and they quickly probed and released the crossbow when they found the opportunity, and immediately retracted after a blow, so that the other party had no chance to attack at all.

After two more attempts, the bandits seemed to have stopped, and they never attacked since 5 p.m., only occasionally popping up around the corner—especially after dusk, and there was no movement for nearly an hour.

However, Chu Fan knew very well that the other party must still be guarding near the waterfall - it could be seen that these horse bandits had been stimulated by this mansion and the women in it to lose their minds, and they would never retreat easily after the slightest setback!

This confrontation is the most demanding of willpower and endurance, especially against the weaker defenders: before reinforcements arrive. Chu Fan didn't say that he was sleeping and resting, and he probably couldn't even take a nap - the entire mansion was a weak woman with no power except for him, and if he was a little negligent, as long as he put a horse bandit, he would have to finish the game!

However, what made Chu Fan relieved was that he was not fighting alone - at the root of the rock wall not far from the boulder, Yan Ruxue, who had changed into dry clothes, was sitting on a boulder with Niuniu in her arms; And Gao Fengji also sat on a stone. Behind her stood her pair of twin maids, Jin Ru and Yuru, and the five girls looked at Chu Fan with ten eyes; And the others in the Gao family's mansion were not idle, some continued to check the old things to see if they could find more crossbow arrows and arrows, and more were busy stir-frying and cooking, and an aunt in the kitchen was even afraid that Chu Fan would be thirsty, so she made him a pot of tea!

All this warms Chu Fan's heart - when many people pin their hopes on you, when they pin their safety on you, when they pin their lives on you. What you get is not only a heavy burden on your shoulders, but also a great sense of satisfaction brought by this unreserved trust, which can be said to be the ultimate embodiment of a man's existential value.

Chu Fan, who greatly satisfied his vanity, hastily ate dinner, and as the night gradually thickened, he found that the problem was coming—even though two burning candles had been inserted on both sides of the stone staircase, illuminating the sheep intestine path transparently, his sleepiness still came up irrepressibly!

And it's no wonder. After coming to this world, Chu Fan has long been accustomed to the daily routine of sunrise and sunset. This is the time to go to bed at this time of day.

Not only him, but the girls who accompanied him were also yawning and staggering, and Niuniu had already fallen asleep in Yan Ruxue's arms, so Yan Ruxue also asked Gao Fengji for a blanket to cover her.

After shaking his head and driving away the thick sleepiness in his head, Chu Fan told himself. Something had to be done - weren't those bandits just waiting to be touched when he couldn't hold on?

When she raised her eyes, Yan Ruxue's little brain was growing little by little, and it seemed that she couldn't hold it anymore; Turning his gaze again, he saw Gao Fengji sitting next to him, staring at him with a pair of wonderful eyes. Seeing each other, she lowered her head in a bit of panic.

"You're not sleepy?" Chu Fan came up with a way to refresh himself, that is, to chat, but now that he is like this, he can only chat with this Tamluo Star Lord, fortunately, after an afternoon of getting along with each other, the strangeness and estrangement of their first acquaintance have long been eliminated, and there is a lot less embarrassment.

"Me?" Gao Fengji raised her head, this time her gaze was no longer evasive, "I'm not very sleepy...... Young Master Chu, are you sleepy? …… If you don't take a nap, I'll keep an eye on the mountain road. ”

Chu Fan smiled dumbly, but it was inconvenient to brush off her good intentions, so he simply said to him left and right, "Miss Gao, I have always had a question, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

Gao Fengji's eyes widened slightly, "Young Master Chu has any questions, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

"Girl, you are in the Mt. Halla of Jeju, how can you speak Chinese fluently?" Chu Fan brought out this question that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.

"Chinese? Childe refers to the Ming dialect? Gao Fengji didn't understand what Chinese was at first, and only after seeing Chu Fan nodding did she tell the story.

It turned out that Gao Fengji's mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to Gao Fengji, but fortunately an old nun delivered the mother and daughter safely, and since then, the Gao family has enshrined this nun and helped her to purify all living beings in this Halla Mountain; However, this old nun is from Yangzhou, who originally wanted to go to Japan to preach the Dharma, but because of a storm at sea, the ship capsized and drifted to Jeju Island, so he stayed on the island.

Gao Fengji is a little older, because of the grace of Lao Nun to save her life, she is extremely close to Lao Nun, so she naturally learned fluent Chinese from Lao Nun; Not only did she learn Chinese, but Lao Ni also taught her to learn Chinese characters and read Buddhist scriptures, "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Female Training", "Female Commandment" These books are of course also involved, and even female red needlework is not less taught; And Gao Fengji's father and mother came to thank Lao Nun for saving her life, and secondly, like all Koreans, she admired the civilization of the Ming Dynasty, not only did not stop her, but encouraged Gao Fengji to learn more.

By the time the old nun sat down, Gao Fengji was already fifteen years old, and she was a deep lady of the Ming Dynasty, where are there still many shadows of Korean girls?

Chu Fan sighed and made people happy, but he didn't notice that Gao Fengji's eyes were on him and Yan Ruxuesuo, who was already asleep, and hesitated for a while before he asked tentatively, "Young Master Chu is also a blessed person, Mrs. Zun is not only beautiful, but also delicate and cute, I really feel pity." ”

Because she saw Chu Fan carrying Yan Ruxue down the tree, she decided that the two were husband and wife, and Chu Fan was busy dealing with horse bandits this afternoon, and he had no time to explain, at this time, seeing Gao Fengji mention this matter again, she couldn't help but glance at Yan Ruxue with doting, "She is my fiancée." ”

Seeing that Gao Fengji was surprised, Chu Fan then poured out all the things about how to repay his debts on behalf of his father, how to sail a boat, how to encounter pirates, how to capture Yan Ruxue all the way to Zhudao to propose marriage, and even later Yan Ruxue stole a boat to go to sea, and he happened to rescue him, etc., all of which were poured out like beans, and Gao Fengji sometimes frowned and worried, sometimes amazed, sometimes smiled, and at the end, she couldn't help but smile.

"Ling's fiancée is really ...... Yes! Be careful! (To be continued.) )
