Chapter 18 - The Guide

The rivers and lakes have never been an inch of tranquility. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn this Jiangzhou, where there is a daily struggle for fame and fortune, everyone who is tired of the rivers and lakes yearns for a holy place in their hearts: Zhige City.

It is also strange to say, Jiangzhou has always been famous for its richness, it seems to be cut from the world, at a glance there is a sky full of yellow sand, there is nothing in the vast four fields except the desert, let alone rich, even if it is a simple survival here is difficult to do.

Outside the desert, on an avenue, two horses pulled a carriage, galloping, the ground was splashed with mud, and the two horses were sweating like drops, and the sweat was bloody, indicating that the people on the carriage had been hurrying for some time.

It was a young man and an old man who drove the horses. At this time, the old man said: "Ye Xiao, you can slow down, you will soon reach the sphere of influence of Zhige City, I don't think the Canglan Alliance will chase after you." ”

The group was Ye Xiao after the first battle of the Ghost Leaf Forest.

Ye Xiao picked up the wine jug and poured it into his mouth, and found that he had already drunk it, and he couldn't pour a drop, so he added a dry corner of his mouth to his tongue and asked, "Fu Bo, why is it that the further you go, the hotter it becomes, and the more and more desolate it is, and you can't see people anymore." ”

Fauber quipped back: "You'll know in a while, there's a post station ahead, we're going to change some things, take a break, you go in and see how the young lady is." ”

Ye Xiao looked ahead, only to see the sky covered with yellow sand, a little black shadow outside the yellow sand, and he could vaguely see that it was a post station: "Fu Bo, Zhige City will not be in the desert!"

Ye Xiaoyi in the carriage slowly woke up in the bumps, and when she opened her eyes and saw Ye Xiangtian lying next to her, she got up and shouted, "Uncle, uncle." Seeing that Ye Xiangtian didn't react, he wanted to take a look, but he felt weak and his body was about to fall.

Ye Xiao heard Ye Xiaoyi's voice and got into the carriage, and when he saw Ye Xiaoye who was about to fall, he turned around and hugged Ye Xiaoyi, and slowly put it down and said: "Uncle Ye's injury has stabilized, and it will be fine for the time being, and when I get to Zhige City to find a doctor to take a look, I should know what to do." ”

Ye Xiaoyi's cheeks were slightly red, and she gently grabbed the corner of her clothes: "Thank you, Brother Ye." Then he asked, "Are Fauber and my brother alright?" ”

At this time, Hou Fubo's voice came from outside: "Miss, I'm fine, fortunately you're fine, otherwise I don't know how to explain to my master after I die, and the young master won't protect me." As if he said something he shouldn't have said, he suddenly stopped talking.

Hearing this, Ye Xiaoyi hurriedly asked Ye Xiao, "What's wrong with my brother?"

Ye Xiao was silent for a moment and didn't know how to answer, seeing that Ye Xiaoyi was about to cry, he hurriedly touched Ye Xiaoyi's head: "Good, your brother is fine, he was just taken to Bodhi Temple by a big monk to learn martial arts." ”

Ye Xiaoyi raised her head and looked at Ye Xiao: "Really?" ”

Ye Xiao gently hugged Ye Xiaoyi: "He said that he would come back soon, don't worry, I will always be with you until your brother comes back." ”

Ye Xiaoyi lowered her head and gently leaned on Ye Xiao's body and whispered softly: "Anthracene." ”

At this time, Fu Bo shouted outside: "Ye Xiao, Miss, it's here." Then the man got into the carriage and said, "Miss, you have arrived at the range of Zhige City, do you need to rest here and hurry tomorrow?"

Ye Xiaoyi turned around and glanced at Ye Xiangtian and said, "No, Uncle Fu, uncle's injury needs to be treated as soon as possible, let's go directly." ”

Fu Bo patted his head and said, "It's really old and dizzy, I'll go now, the second master must not have anything happening again." So he hurried out.

Then Ye Xiao helped Ye Xiaoyi out of the car first, gently covered Ye Xiangtian with the quilt, and entered the post station with Fu Bo. Said to be a post station, to not small, as soon as you enter the door, you see dozens of people in a hall, but the atmosphere of the tavern is very different, as if there is less noise, as if everyone is alone here, everyone seems to be particularly quiet, some lonely drinking, some quietly wiping the knife in their hands.

Ye Xiao followed Ye Xiaoyi and walked in, without attracting anyone's attention or looking at each other, Ye Xiao looked at Ye Xiaoyi and asked, "Xiaoyi, the atmosphere here is very unusual, and the people here seem to have an indescribable feeling." ”

Ye Xiaoyi whispered to Ye Xiao: "Actually, there is nothing unusual, it's just that the people here are either people who have fled or people who are dead." The tone suddenly lowered a little: "I didn't expect that I would become a fugitive when I came here again." At this time, there was warmth in her hand, and when she looked at Ye Xiao's hand tightly, her heart warmed a little, and she walked towards the counter.

There was an old man sitting at the counter, his eyes squinted, half-asleep, and when he saw Ye Xiaoyi walking towards him, he was as energetic as seeing the God of Wealth, and his eyes were shining. Ye Xiaoyi asked unhurriedly, "Guide, when will the fastest caravan depart?" ”

The old man was deflated when he heard the first sentence, muttered, and returned without strength and strength: "It turns out that it is not a newcomer, the fastest caravan will only be available at sunrise tomorrow, whether you want to rest or eat, say it quickly." ”

Ye Xiaoyi couldn't help but giggle a few times: "Prepare me an old horse, two good horses, and two camels, there is a patient in the carriage outside us, be careful when changing horses." Then he turned around and looked at Ye Xiao: "By the way, I still need a few pots of good wine, let's prepare them before eating, and give us something delicious first." Then he dropped a gold bar, and turned back to the window and walked to the table.

When the old man saw the gold bars on the table, his eyes lit up, and after a while he reacted and shouted, "Hurry up! ”

Ye Xiaoyi slowly walked to the window with Ye Xiao, sat down one after another, and saw that Ye Xiao had been looking at her, and asked shyly, "Big stupid pig, what are you looking at." ”

Ye Xiao touched his nose and said, "I just can't believe it, you are an eldest lady, you seem to know everything, are you someone pretending!"

Ye Xiaoyi gave Ye Xiao two punches: "You are just pretending, I have read a lot of these things, and I know a lot of them, don't you say that I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run." ”

Fu Bo looked at this scene and laughed twice, Ye Xiaoyi and Ye Xiaocai remembered that there was someone beside them, so they quickly sat down. Fauber quipped, "It's okay, it's okay, you just treat me as an old man when I'm not here, go on, go on." ”

The trio then finished eating quickly. Ye Xiaoyi went to the counter again and asked, "Guide, are the things I want ready?" ”

The old man saw that it was the big benefactor, and greeted Ye Xiaoyi with a smile on his face: "Okay! Okay, this young lady, whether it is horses or wine, it is all the best, and you will definitely be satisfied." ”

Ye Xiaoyi threw another gold bar and said, "Thank you, but I hope this is the best time to see you." ”

The old man put the gold bars on the table into his sleeve, looked serious, and said, "Don't worry! ”

Ye Xiaoyi turned around and whispered a few words of pity, and walked towards the door. Ye Xiaoyi thought that what she just said was very laughing, but no one heard it, but she didn't know that Ye Xiao's eyes and ears had never left her, so she heard Ye Xiao ask suspiciously: "Xiaoyi, why did you say it was a pity just now." ”

Ye Xiaoyi was silent for a moment and changed her feminine color, with a resolute face and a firm tone: "The Lingnan Ye family is my back, and the Ye family Heavenly Sword also chose me, the hatred of the Canglan League has never dared to let go, this river and lake it doesn't look for me, and now it's up to me to look for it." ”

While the two were talking, a person in the hall wiped the knife in his hand seriously, over and over again, each time extremely seriously, and then gave the knife to the old man at the counter, and said a few words similar to "treat it well, it is a good knife", and walked upstairs, this scene announced that there was one less person with a knife in this Jianghu, and the old man then threw the knife in his hand behind him, and the sound of the weapon collision indicated that he didn't know how many weapons were thrown away by the old man so casually.

The guide has led the way of everyone here, and some people have chosen to withdraw from the rivers and lakes here, let go of hatred, and give up strife. Some people choose to enter the rivers and lakes here, because some things are too heavy and can only be put down by death.
