After the rain, under the trees at dusk, there is a dilapidated low house, and the house is full of household furniture, which does not look like a family has moved.

The cloaked man lit a lone fire on the table, and his long, white fingers reached into the flames and gently twisted a wick.

Then the low house became much brighter, and became the brightest and only light in the city, and it seemed so cold and lonely.

Ruyu saw that the cloaked man moved gently and slowly, and reached into the oil lamp with his bare hands without hurting the fur, and was quite puzzled, although he didn't know why, but he probably guessed a few points, it was probably that he had learned some advanced martial arts such as the golden bell hood iron cloth shirt.

However, at this time, Ruyu's mind was not on the so-called peak martial arts attainments, but on the 10,000-year-old ginseng that the cloak man said.

"Is there really a 10,000-year-old ginseng in this world?"

"Yes!"

"Where? I'm going to dig. ”

When the cloaked man heard this fallacy, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, in the end, it's still a little baby, it's so simple, this kind of life-saving rare fairy grass that comes back to life has long been controlled by powerful people, and there are so many people who covet it, how can it be your turn to dig it?" ”

Ruyu blinked with a pair of innocent eyes, and so did the secret way.

In the original world, as long as someone offered a price, let alone thousands of years of old ginseng, even the 10,000-year-old wild turtle eggs in the mother's womb could be pulled out of one by one, let alone such a precious ginseng.

"You better say it bluntly, where is the 10,000-year-old ginseng, I want to find a way to grab it!"

"Rob?"

"Can't you?"

The cloaked man never thought that the girl in front of him was still a violent person.

"Of course not, it's tantamount to going to death! Don't say it's you, a yellow-haired girl, even I'm not sure. "The Cloaked Man cut the railroad to the fore.

Xiao Ruyu knew that she really didn't have the ability to rob, but she wasn't stupid, she definitely wouldn't rob hard, but outwitted.

Glancing at the cloaked man, he couldn't see anything but a cloud of black in his black robe.

They met in Pingshui, there is no need or reason for people to work for themselves, and more importantly, she doesn't want to owe favors.

Xiao Ruyu learned the title of the Jianghu people and said: "Handsome guy, no, no, hero, no, senior, immortal ......."

"You still call me uncle, it's been a long time since I've heard such a affectionate name!"

The cloaked man couldn't laugh or cry at the new word in Xiao Ruyu's mouth, but he especially liked the word 'uncle'.

Xiao Ruyu secretly thought that people in the rivers and lakes should not like the title of the hero's predecessor Shangxian or something, so it also seems to be forced and high-ranked, why are you still interested in such a common title?

Moreover, in her cognition, the word 'uncle' is only called when her sister-in-law calls her husband and brother in costume TV dramas. I called my uncle before because I was in a hurry to ask for talent, so I didn't think about it so much. Now that the other party took the initiative to ask, Ruyu was uncomfortable, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not suitable.

Ruyu looked at this man in a black robe and cloak, and thought to herself, aren't those filthy and obscene middle-aged uncles dressed up like this, isn't it ......? Ruyu didn't dare to think about it.

So Ruyu just said 'um' on the surface, and didn't call it that.

"If I can't grab it, then I'll kneel down and beg them, as long as I can give me ginseng, I can do anything, even if it costs my life."

Long.

The cloaked man didn't speak, only the dim light flickering in the ruined low house.

Then, with a long sigh.

"Alas! Little baby, what's the use of them asking for your life, it seems that I need to tell you what kind of rivers and lakes this is? ”

"Isn't it all evil that is invincible to good, what difference can there be between the bullshit rivers and lakes that fight and kill?"

The rivers and lakes in Ruyu's eyes are all from books and TV series, and she is not interested in seeing grievances, hatred, and sadomasochism, if it weren't for saving Li Chengyu and giving him back his life, she wouldn't care what kind of bullshit this is?

"Bullshit? Hahaha, if those old men heard it, they would definitely jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

The cloaked man and Xiao Ruyu sat opposite each other at the rotten camphor wood table, and in the middle was the oil lamp with the light beating, and Ruyu accidentally saw through the light that the cloaked man who was laughing was still wearing a ghost mask, and she almost fell off the bench in shock.

Stabilizing his body, Ruyu replied flatly: "Isn't it just a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, so it's bullshit!" ”

The cloaked man laughed again when he heard this: "Hahaha, little baby, what's your name?" I'm getting more and more fond of you, you're so interesting. ”

Xiao Ruyu didn't think it was interesting, especially when she heard that she liked herself, she couldn't feel that it was a compliment, how could she dare to report her real name?

She suddenly thought of Li Chengyu's sentence that when she opened the lock, she said that she couldn't open the lock, and her name was read backwards, so she changed her name.

"My name is ...... Yu Ruyan! ”

As soon as Ruyu thought about it, it was quite nice to read her name upside down, so she decided to simply use this name, if Li Chengyu woke up, I believe she would agree to do so.

After all, she has only suffered sinister losses in the rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to ensure that the eighteen judges do not come to seek revenge, it is always good to be careful, and she has to admit that Li Chengyu has done much better than her.

"Such as Yan, such as Yan, can it be as beautiful? Good name, good name. The cloaked man clapped his hands in appreciation.

Ruyu was silent, just scolded secretly.

"Is there too much earwax clogged? Can you hear this wrong? Why do you still read poems? If I hadn't been able to beat you, I would have smashed it with the box, and it would still be like Yan, like Yan, but like beautiful? A good name was stunned by the fact that you read it as a famous prostitute in the Qinglou. ”

After slandering for a long time, Ruyu Cai said, learning Li Chengyu's black belly expression of smiling on the surface and peeing on the inside.

"It's not that Yan, it's the eunuch!"

Ruyu also deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word 'eunuch', secretly thinking that if she could see the face of the cloaked man, it must be extremely ugly.

"Uh...... I'm going to tell you about the dog...... Let's go to the rivers and lakes! ”

Sure enough, the cloaked man is no longer entangled in this topic, but he was almost led astray by Xiao Ruyu, as a martial artist, he can't say this about his foothold, otherwise he is scolding himself?

"Hmmm! Say, I'll listen! Xiao Ruyu replied with a smile.

The cloaked man didn't care about any of this, and continued.

"On the rivers and lakes of this Douwu Continent, as far as I know, there are two 10,000-year-old ginseng trees, one of which is in the ......."

"Where?" Ruyu immediately asked anxiously after hearing that there was really 10,000-year-old ginseng.

"After listening to me, it is rumored that one of them is under a 100-meter glacier in the far north, and it is said to be tens of thousands of years old."

Ruyu understood the meaning, this extreme north must be far away, and there are 10,000 years of glaciers sealed, and no one has been able to get it for tens of thousands of years, how can she be a girl? It seems that hope can only be found on the second tree.

"Is the second one you say is controlled by power?"

The cloaked man marveled at Ruyu's ability to observe and understand, and continued: "Yes, there is little hope. ”

"There is still hope, tell me where the second one is?" Ruyu asked with a firm expression.

"On the top of Panlong Snow Mountain, which is a hundred miles away, there is a wild ginseng that has just turned 10,000 years old."

"Panlong Snow Mountain? Good! I'll go now! ”

Hope is in front of you, how can Ruyu not be in a hurry, a hundred miles away, let alone a day and a night, if you don't set off, Li Chengyu may not be able to last so long.

Therefore, Ruyu must be as soon as possible.

The cloaked man stopped Ruyu and said, "Don't worry, do you know whose realm Panlong Snow Mountain is?" ”

"I don't know!"

The cloaked man dissuaded: "Then what are you in a hurry, not short of this time." ”

Ruyu listened quietly.

The cloaked man continued: "Panlong Snow Mountain is located in the territory of Yiguo in the east, and now we are at war, and the battle line is outside the city, stretching for dozens of miles, how can you get by." ”

When Ruyu heard this, she suddenly said.

"At war? No wonder there was no one in the city, it turned out that they were all evacuated. ”

"It's not withdrawing, it's all going to the battlefield!"

The cloaked man said this calmly, as if it was nothing new, but Ruyu was shocked.

"Do you mean that the people are also on the battlefield?"

The cloaked man said lightly: "Of course, the soldier's family is behind him, with this worry, how can they not fight to protect the city?" ”

Ruyu was shocked when she heard this, before the war, she always evacuated the people first, how could she let the people go to the battlefield, this Jianghu is really different from what Ruyu understands, it is simply inhumane, glanced at the cloaked man, and asked incomprehensibly.

"Now that the country is in danger, as a warrior, don't you plan to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend your home and country? What else are you doing in this city? ”

The cloaked man looked at Xiao Ruyu's puzzled look, and secretly thought that it was not surprising that she didn't understand at a young age.

Then he explained: "First of all, I am not a person from Zhongdu, so I can't talk about protecting the family, and I am the same as the eighteen judges, I am a contract warrior, I was just traded to Zhongdu, and I did my duty, let alone defending the country." And now that the two countries are at war, there are contract warriors along the way, how do you get by? ”

Xiao Ruyu heard a new word and asked.

"What is a contract warrior?"
