Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Narrow Road

At the end of the dirt road is Dong'an Village.

They walked in quietly, without a sound.

"Looks like they've all fled." Fu Tingyun said in a low voice.

"Villages like Li Jiawa are a minority after all." Zhao Jiuye said disapprerovingly, "Most villages don't have the same favorable terrain as theirs. ”

Fu Tingyun nodded.

Ah Sen has found a place to stay: "Master, do you think we can stop here?" ”

The two walked over.

The gate with black lacquer and copper rings, the high wall made of stones, into which is a large courtyard, the main house of the three rooms is all brick and tile houses, through the main house, there is a smaller courtyard behind, three wings, behind the wings is a patio, a kitchen. Very magnificent.

"We'll rest in the back wing." Zhao Jiuye nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, someone broke in, separated by two courtyards and a main room, and they also had time to react.

Ah Sen responded loudly and cleaned up the east room of the wing room for Fu Tingyun to live in.

Fu Tingyun saw a stone table and stone bench under the dead grape trellis in the corner of the courtyard in front of the wing, and said, "Ninth Master, let's have dinner outside, right?" Zhao Jiuye didn't pay much attention to these details, she just said hello, and after speaking, she took out the food and began to put it away.

Zhao Jiuye's expression was grim, and he suddenly turned around and walked outside, but he arrived at the back door of the main house in two or three steps.

Fu Tingyun was taken aback, Zhao Jiuye's figure had disappeared into the hall of the main house, and then a woman's scream came.

Arsen poked his head out of the open window in the east wing.

Fu Tingyun put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and walked out of the yard.

The black-faced man they met on the road didn't know when he followed, and he was falling to the ground at the moment, being clasped by Zhao Jiuye's shoulders, and the woman with a beautiful face pulled the child to kneel beside and begged for mercy: "...... I just looked at the wall of this courtyard as the thickest, and it must be the safest, so I came in. Let's go, let's go, ask the strong man to raise his noble hand! As he spoke, he kowtowed to Zhao Jiuye according to the child.

Fu Tingyun looked very uncomfortable.

Why bother with a child as a bargaining chip!

It can be seen that this couple is not a good person.

She quietly stepped back and bumped into Asen.

"What's wrong?" Arsen asked her.

"It's fine!" Fu Tingyun said, "Some people also take a fancy to this courtyard, and the Ninth Master is negotiating with them!" ”

Arsen was not suspicious.

Fu Tingyun said: "The east wing is all cleaned up?" If you're ready to eat. ”

"It's been cleaned up early!" Ah Sen said with a smile, and Zhao Jiuye strode in, "Ah Sen, go find a room again." Let's change places to stay! ”

Ah Sen didn't ask more than a word, and answered "yes" in a loud voice, and was about to go out.

Zhao Jiuye said: "Go through the back door!" ”

A hint of confusion flashed in Asen's eyes, but he quickly turned and walked out the back door.

Fu Tingyun hurriedly packed up his food: "Ninth Master, are we going to give the place to that person to live?" ”

"It's not!" Zhao Jiuye said, "It's better to be cautious." ”

Fu Tingyun was naturally convinced of his decision, and quickly packed up his things.

Asen also returned: "The third one next door is also quite good, but it is a little smaller." ”

Zhao Jiuye didn't speak, glanced at Fu Tingyun, pushed a small cart, Fu Tingyun followed him, and went to the house that Ah Sen said.

After tossing and eating dinner, the sky is already full of stars.

Asen sighed: "Tomorrow is another sunny day!" ”

"I didn't expect you to know the stars." Fu Tingjun likes to laugh with Asen very much.

"I told me." Ah Sen glanced at Zhao Jiuye, who was sitting there silently eating steamed buns, "Master also knows where Vega Star is and where Cowherd Star is." Brother Yucheng will also tell the story of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd. ”

"Then have you heard the story of Chang'e running to the moon?" Fu Tingyun asked him with a smile, "Do you want me to tell you?" ”

"Of course I did." Ah Sen waved his hand disappreciably, "Brother Yucheng will also talk about "Single Knife Meeting"!" Do you know "Single Knife Club"? It's about the story of Guan Erye, but it's good. Why don't I tell you about it? ”

Fu Tingyun laughed, and then secretly screamed "Oops", the ninth master was very secretive about him, she told Ah Sen about his companion like this, would he be angry!

And his eyes were directed toward him.

He sat there quietly, smiling at them, his clear eyes like the stars in the night sky behind him, bright and quiet, so that at a glance, people's hearts became peaceful with him.

Fu Tingyun froze suddenly.

※※※※※

In the middle of the night, Fu Tingyun was pushed awake by Asen: "Girl, wake up!" ”

"What's going on?" For convenience, she sleeps in kimono these days.

"I heard the sound of horses' hooves." Under the moonlight, his little face tightened, "I'm afraid that there are bandits plundering the village!" ”

"How so? Don't they need a spy either? The people of this village have long since disappeared! He was rambling, but his hands and feet were not slow at all, and he quickly put on his shoes and ran out of the east wing with Asen.

Zhao Jiuye stood in the courtyard with a frown, saw Fu Tingyun and Ah Sen, and pointed to a large water tank in the northeast corner of the courtyard: "You hide first!" ”

"How to hide?" The tank had long since run out of water, and it had already broken a big gap.

She pricked up her ears, and the night sky was as quiet as ever, and there was no sound.

Zhao Jiuye easily put the water tank upside down on the ground: "You hide in the water tank." Then he instructed Ah Sen, "Take the girl's baggage, water bladder, and steamed buns, and hide them in the water tank together." ”

Fu Tingyun opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Ah Sen left in response and quickly took everything Zhao Jiuye said.

"You sat on the ground with a baggage," Zhao Jiuye said, lifting the corner of the water tank and motioning her to get in quickly, "I'm not coming, you don't want to come out." Did you hear me clearly? The last sentence was a stern question.

Fu Tingyun nodded again and again, and climbed in awkwardly, and Ah Sen stuffed the water bladder, steamed buns, and pancakes into it.

Zhao Jiuye and Ah Sen got on the beam of the kitchen.

The cramped and dark space, the silence and silence, and time slowed down.

Fu Tingyun was a little scared. But out of trust in Zhao Jiuye, she hid in the water tank motionless.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a fire shot in from the broken place of the water tank.

"Zhao Jiu, I know you're in there," a rough voice shouted loudly, "There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no chance to meet and not to meet." Since you and I are destined to meet, shouldn't the account between you and me be settled? I've never dreamed of you! In the end, it was already gloomy and compassionate, which made people shudder.

Didn't you say the horse bandits?

How to hide from Zhao Jiuye's enemy?

Fu Tingyun's heart hung up all of a sudden, but she hid in the tank and couldn't see anything, so anxious that she didn't know what to do!

"Feng Laosi, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to settle the account between you and me," In the quiet of the night, Zhao Jiuye's voice sounded slowly, gradually getting closer and closer to Fu Tingyun, "Since you are so Yaxing today, then let's calculate it well!" She knew that Zhao Jiuye had already walked out and stood in the courtyard, "However, if I remember correctly, you once said that whether you speak or eat, you rely on your fists." I think we might as well use our fists to settle the math today! Then, Fu Tingyun heard a "bang", the roar of the man, the neighing of the horses, and the screams of the woman in horror, which sounded chaotically, and there was a commotion.

When Zhao Jiuye saw the beautiful face standing beside Feng Laosi, he knew that he could only kill today-this woman had seen Fu Tingyun, Feng Laosi knew that he was still with women and children, and he must have thought that it was his family, and he was afraid that he would do everything possible to capture him and negotiate terms with him, and then it would be troublesome! As for how this woman could be with Feng Laosi, he was not interested at all.

He was like lightning, carrying a stick of Qi Mei and going straight to Feng Laosi.

Feng Laosi didn't expect Zhao Jiuye to run towards him while talking about the scene, and hurriedly rode his horse back.

The reins were tightened, the horse neighed, and Zhao Jiuye had already pressed his palm on the horse's head, and the horse didn't snort, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Feng Laosi was shocked, when Zhao Jiuye's hand was pressed on the horse's head, he knew that the horse was in danger, and before the horse fell to the ground, he jumped off the horse's back, pulled out his knife with a "bang", and protected it in front of his chest.

Who knew that Zhao Jiuye didn't pay attention to him at all, but raised his finger, and suddenly a white light as bright as a meteor suddenly crossed the air.

"This is the second time I've killed a woman!" Zhao Jiuye muttered to himself, and the woman standing beside Feng Laosi's eyes widened suddenly, and under the light of the torches, blood slowly soaked out of her neck......

All of them rode back a few steps.

The woman collapsed on the ground.

"Zhao Jiuye's lancet is really worthy of its name!" Feng Laosi glanced at the woman who fell to the ground, and his face became ugly, "I also use a knife, but I use a big knife!" As he spoke, the snowy blade surged towards Zhao Jiuye like a wave.

Zhao Jiuye took a step back, and the Qi Mei stick blocked in front of him.

The waves receded instantly.

The Qi Mei stick was broken into two, half of it fell to the ground with a "bang", and the other half was still in Zhao Jiuye's hand.

Feng Laosi squinted his eyes at Zhao Jiuye, jumped up, and slashed towards Zhao Jiuye with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Zhao Jiuye raised the remaining half-cut Qi Mei stick and greeted him.

With a "snap", the Qi Mei stick cracked from the middle again, but Feng Laosi seemed to have kicked an iron plate, and he flipped a few heels in the air and landed, but his body shook and he took a few steps back before standing firmly.

Zhao Jiuye's expression became solemn.

It was the first time he officially fought with Feng Laosi, and within two moves, Feng Laosi showed two skills, one soft and one rigid, which shows that martial arts have been practiced both hard and soft, and have reached Mahayana.

He pinched his fist.

Feng Laosi pounced.

The cold sword light formed layers of nets, netting Zhao Jiuye in it.

Zhao Jiuye slowly punched, east and west, and wherever the fist wind went, the net immediately broke.

Feng Laosi snorted coldly, and the broken net was refilled.

Gradually, Zhao Jiuye's punches became faster and faster, and Feng Laosi's speed of closing the net became slower and slower.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound on the ground, and Feng Laosi flew back.

There were a few patches of silver scattered on the ground, like broken moonlight falling to the ground.

Feng Laosi's face was pale, and he stood there holding the handle of the knife that had lost its blade, and there was a red liquid flowing down the corner of his mouth.

It's been added!
