XXXII. Departure
"How's the preparation?" After everything was ready, the night before leaving, Zhao Fang deliberately found Li Xuan, "It seems that you and your rival don't seem to be at the same eye." ”
"It's okay." Li Xuan sat quietly on the edge of his bed and waved his hand, in the last few days of training, the relationship between himself and this Zhao Kuo not only did not ease in the slightest, but even worsened. Compared with the clown-like provocation of the other party, Li Xuan directly chose to ignore it, as far as participating in the assessment was concerned, he never expected anything from Zhao Kuo.
According to the assessment mechanism of Shuangya College, as long as their strength is strong enough, there will naturally be talents who will take the initiative to consult and form a team. Teammates are often not the stronger the better, but the more suitable the better.
"Also, with your strength, there is naturally no shortage of candidates for the team." After all, Longyin Village also has people who participated in the assessment, Zhao Fang pursed her lips, her eyes were a little tangled, "The reason why I came here is because I want to ask you for help, that is, when you meet Ou Lin and them, if it is convenient, I hope to lend a hand." ”
Li Xuan's strength Zhao Fang naturally recognizes, and she doesn't have to worry about it, it's just the other women in Wofeng Village......
"That's nature." Li Xuan nodded, as the captain of the team, she naturally cared about the safety of the people in the village and the results of the assessment.
It is naturally more difficult for women to participate in the martial arts examination than for men, which is why the pass rate in Wofeng Village is very low every year, and even now there are not many places. Because they have to beware not only of mechanical behemoths during the assessment, but also of the competitors around them, after all, some people with bad intentions, seeing that they are all girls, will come to snatch the fruits of their labor.
"Come on." Zhao Fang didn't say anything more after all, and glanced at Li Xuan gratefully. Originally, with her character, she would not interfere with Li Xuan's behavior, but as the captain of Wofeng Village, there are some things she must do, and she is duty-bound.
The things that should be told in the exam were also explained at the end of the last day of training, and there was basically no difference from what Liu Yin said. Li Xuan could also roughly guess the reason for Zhao Fang's trip, either to persuade him to settle the dispute with Zhao Kuo, or to help the people of Wofeng Village along the way.
After Zhao Fang left, Li Xuan lay quietly on the bed and fell into deep thought. As far as his own team is concerned, Liu Changchun is naturally the best choice. The other two places also have plans in mind. But if you can do it, forget it, after all, the timid and fearful character, if you get along, you are still a little worried about revealing your identity.
As for Ou Lin's three-person team, they must be called Jiang Shu. Although there are no healers in the team, they can get as many points as possible, and if the three thugs are in charge, it is safe. As for Zhao Kuo, there is no need for him to worry about it, the strength of scarce talents is strengthened, and naturally many people are vying for it.
"Brother-in-law! Are you there? Wang He's voice outside the door interrupted Li Xuan's thoughts, he frowned and straightened up, a little surprised, but also responded and walked out of bed.
"Come in." Wang Xuan outside the door looked a little cautious, as if he dared to come over after Zhao Fang left completely.
"What's the matter?" Li Xuan glanced at Wang He who was standing at the door, "It's strange, the Wang He who slept on the bed before, actually dared to go out and chat with me when Zhao Fang came to visit?" ”
Wang He smiled awkwardly, rolled his eyes slightly, and then gritted his teeth, "Brother-in-law, I have something I want to ask you." ”
"What's the matter?" Li Xuan lay lazily on the bed, in his mind, this Wang He is nothing serious, "Forget about Xiaohua." ”
"No," Wang He waved his hand repeatedly, "it's about my sister." ”
"Your sister?" Li Xuan straightened up when he heard this, although the elders of the Wang family knew that they were just a contract marriage, but Wang He didn't know that the other party had always treated him as a real brother-in-law. So presumably, this Wang He really seems to have something to tell himself.
"Hmm." Wang He nodded, the corners of his mouth bitter, "Since my sister came back last time and set the rules for blind dates, she hasn't been home." ”
"If it were me, I wouldn't go back." Li Xuan rolled her eyes, she was forced to go on a blind date every time she came back, it was scary to think about.
"So I hope that after my brother-in-law joins the academy, he can bring my sister back as soon as possible to complete the marriage. That way, you'll be able to come back often. ”
"Poof......" Li Xuan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she forcibly suppressed the complaint in her heart, "Well, I know, you go and rest." ”
Wang He seems to have a good relationship with his sister, otherwise he wouldn't worry about oversleeping the next day, so he came to advise. It's just that after the marriage in his mouth, Li Xuan can't do anything, and the only thing he can do is to try to persuade the other party to go home often.
The night passed in a flash, and the moment the morning sun showed its forehead, the day of departure began. Early in the morning, a large group of people gathered at the gate of Wofeng Village, including those who saw them off, those who took the exam, and of course, some who joined in the fun.
Because of the advice of Wang Yang and his wife, Li Xuan, who was late, arrived, and when everyone in Longyin Village had already assembled. The two villages, which originally did not interfere with each other, seem to have a much better relationship because of Li Xuan.
"Wang Xuan, you have just become the son-in-law of the village chief's family, but you have such a big shelf, so many people are waiting for you." Zhao Kuo obviously would not let go of this opportunity to suppress Li Xuan.
Li Xuan looked at everyone apologetically, stood in the team obediently, nodded at Yu Xia and the others, and didn't want to pay attention to it.
"Wang Xuan?" Qian Neng, who was going to echo a few words, felt that someone was inexplicably familiar, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
Now that Li Xuan has undergone recuperation, all the scars on his face have faded, and his hair has gradually become thicker. Although his body is a lot stronger, he still has the appearance of seven or eight points between his eyebrows and eyes. Feeling Qian Neng's gaze, he was faintly worried.
"Since they're all here, let's leave early. Yu Xia coughed dryly, and hurriedly stepped forward, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Qian Neng's sight.
"Well, get ready to go." Zhao Fang nodded, glanced at Yu Xia as he spoke, and continued to speak, "On weekdays, there are usually foraging teams to escort people to participate in the assessment, but this time, after discussing with Captain Yu Xia of Longyin Village, I decided to let you candidates go together. ”
"Hmm!" Yu Xia nodded slightly, "On the one hand, this saves the village's expenses, and on the other hand, both Wofeng Village and Longyin Village urgently need time to cultivate the talents of the next foraging team." Moreover, this is not only an opportunity for you to run in, but also an experience. ”
The foraging team in Longyin Village has lost several generals and is in dire need of fresh blood. The men in Wofeng Village have just started their training, so they have to hurry up.
After the two of them interrupted, Qian Neng shook his head helplessly, and finally temporarily dispelled his suspicion of Li Xuan.
"That's fine!" Liu Changchun nodded, so as not to have too many mouths, and it was inconvenient to communicate with Li Xuan. Qian Neng waved his hand, saying that it didn't matter, he didn't want to worry about this kind of thing.
Ou Lin and the others were full of excitement and agreed. It's like a child who has been given the opportunity to go out on an adventure. And the only one who showed a sad face was only Zhao Kuo, because his combat effectiveness was low, and he had been looking for opportunities to say hello to Li Xuan, so he was naturally worried about retaliation on the way.
"Wang Xuan! Bring Blackie with you. Just when everyone was about to leave, Granny Liu, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly led Xiao Hei forward, although he knew Li Xuan's real name and surname, but she also recognized this grandson-in-law from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't change her words.
"Huh?" Li Xuan was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Hei who was at a loss, he didn't understand Granny Liu's intentions, and he had to know that he was not going out to play in the mountains and rivers this time. What's more, he didn't know if he would be able to come back safely.
"Xiao Hei is young, I can't let it follow my wife for the rest of my life." Granny Liu's face was full of wrinkles, but she looked extremely kind.
"On the way, if you say anything, try to help him find out about the situation in his hometown." Granny Liu glanced at Xiao Hei beside her gently, "If it really doesn't work, when the time comes, as a student of Shuangya Academy, you should be able to help him find a serious job near Shuangya Square." ”
Xiao Hei didn't say anything on the side, his clenched lips explained everything, and it seemed that he had already done psychological work by Granny Liu. It's just that on that helpless face, there is a feeling of being abandoned, as if he has no right to decide whether he wants to stay or not.
"Good!" For some reason, seeing the expression on Xiao Hei's face, Li Xuan couldn't bear to refuse.
"Thank you, young master." Xiao Hei's voice trembled slightly, and then he bowed deeply to Granny Liu, "Thank you Granny Liu for taking care of you for so many years!" ”
"Go ahead!" Granny Liu waved her hand slightly, and then staggered back to the house, as if she was worried that if she stood for a while, she would not be able to hold back the tears in her eyes.
"Let's go."
Li Xuan sighed, in Granny Liu's heart, no matter what Xiao Hei does in the future, he is much stronger than in this broken inn, and from Xiao Hei's point of view, he is naturally full of longing for his hometown and biological parents.
"Have a nice trip!"
The figure of Granny Liu looking far away at the inn, as everyone gradually drifted away, and now Wofeng Village has gradually begun to cultivate boys, presumably Granny Liu should also return to her home in the village.
"I've seen quite a few people of this color in Tiger Rest Village." As soon as he walked out, Liu Changchun leaned over quietly and stuffed the stamped marriage contract to Li Xuan. Xue Meng didn't come along, presumably because he wanted to wait for his good news at home before making a decision.
And on the side, Ou Lin and the four of them were in company, chattering non-stop, and Zhao Kuo, who was at the wrong point between the two, obviously didn't dare to step forward to provoke Li Xuan now, and hid behind the four women. So Li Xuan and Xiao Hei, who were walking quietly on the other side at the moment, gave Liu Changchun a good opportunity to talk.
"Thank you!" Li Xuan gave a thumbs up, and then glanced at Xiao Hei who followed behind him. "Really?"
"That's right!"
Qian Neng actually took the initiative to come forward to say hello, Liu Changchun's actions completely dispelled his suspicions, after all, in his impression, this Liu Changchun and Li Xuan were very wrong.
"Huxi Village is far more developed than this Wofeng Village, and it is crowded with people!" Qian Neng said to himself, wanting to bring the relationship between the two closer.
Liu Changchun forced a smile from the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and Li Xuan nodded in a deep voice, it is naturally a good thing that money can dispel suspicion, but what he is more worried about now is Xiao Hei who was entrusted to him by Granny Liu. I don't know if I can help each other on this trip.
Li Xuan looked deeply at the boundless whiteness in front of him, and whispered softly, Tiger Rest Village......
