Chapter 284: That Thank-You Gift
Dongfang Hong's mind quickly flashed that picture:
Three days ago, he and Shui Wei met this woodcutter on the way to find Chu Tiankuo in Epiphany Mountain. At that time, the woodcutter was chopping wood in the mountains.
He asked the woodcutter, "This uncle, are you from this neighborhood?" ”
The woodcutter saw Dongfang Hong and Shui Mai dressed in the clothes of a rich family, one with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and one with red lips and white teeth. His eyes shone brightly, like a poor man seeing a rich man.
He couldn't help but be a little surprised, what was going on lately? Did you go out and step on shit? I always meet a pair of small enemies, and they are also talented men and women.
The woodcutter replied solemnly: "That's right. The old man's house is nearby, just at the foot of Epiphany Mountain. ”
He wondered, "Where is my home?" Do you want to buy wild game in the mountains? If so, he will be rich.
Shui Mai's voice was excited: "Old man." Have you ever seen a man, a woman, and two outsiders cutting wood here? ”
The woodcutter has a long memory this time. He hurriedly put down the axe he was holding in his hand and stopped chopping wood.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Oh." The little couple you talked about. ”
At first, Shui Vein's face showed a little joy, and his eyes brightened. Because the person the woodcutter said was likely to be Chu Tiankuo and Yanxiang. Soon, her eyes darkened.
Because what the woodcutter said was the little couple. Even the woodcutter who has never been alive can see that the two of them are a couple. It can be seen that the two of them are so compatible.
The woodcutter continued: "A few days ago, I saw the old man chopping wood. Because the old man has never seen such a beautiful girl or such a handsome son. So I looked at it twice. ”
I was so engrossed in it that I almost cut my hand. Of course, the woodcutter didn't say it. is a lot of age, and there is such a mind, say it, it's strange not to be laughed out of your big teeth.
However, he felt that the pair in front of him was not much inferior to that pair. It's just that this pair seems to be separated, not as close as the pair I've seen before.
Shui Mai's eyes lit up again, and he asked eagerly, "What about them?" ”
The woodcutter's face flushed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "They are sitting under a big tree, and they are there to talk to me." The old man was embarrassed to stay there, so he walked away. Later, where they went, I don't know. ”
I'm embarrassed to look at it, but I'm embarrassed to say it?
Shui Vein's face turned red, and he bit his lip and lowered his head.
Dongfang Hong asked: "Uncle, if you want to go down the mountain from here, is there any other way to go?" ”
The woodcutter shook his head and said, "The old man has lived in this neighborhood for dozens of years, and he has been walking this mountain road. Whether there are other trails, I don't know. ”
Dongfanghong took out a silver ticket and handed it to him, and instructed: "Uncle." Thank you for the message. My name is Dongfanghong, I am an official errand, and I temporarily live in the Changfeng Dart Bureau. If you have the whereabouts of the two of them, please inform them, and you will be thanked. ”
The woodcutter took the silver ticket, held it tightly, took a closer look, and suddenly got up happily: "Thank you, Lord Dongfang." As soon as there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible. ”
On the happy hall, Dongfanghong was still stuck in his thoughts.
Shui Wei was extremely sure that the woodcutter in front of him was the one he met on Epiphany Mountain a few days ago. So, does he have news of Chu Tiankuo?
She was already one step ahead of Dongfanghong and asked, "Old man." Do you already have news of the two of them? ”
The woodcutter nodded like a chicken pecking rice, but said no more.
Dongfang Hong had come back to his senses, and looked at the woodcutter with clear eyes: "Where are they?" ”
Just now, Shui Mai asked the woodcutter what to say, but the woodcutter refused to say. Because his message is to be exchanged for a silver ticket. Dongfanghong promised him that he would be thanked.
The water vein did not promise him again!
When the woodcutter heard Dongfanghong's inquiry, he told him: "The old man saw the two of them go down the mountain just now. The boy seemed to be injured. ”
Shui Mai raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly, "Then do you see where they are going?" ”
The woodcutter looked at Dongfang Hong and continued: "That son, who looks like a weak scholar, sits on a horse. The girl, leading the horse. The two of them went to Fengcheng. It shouldn't go far. If you go after it now, you will be able to catch up. ”
Everyone reacted a little, and the woodcutter might be talking about Chu Tiankuo and Yanxiang. All of them frowned.
A joyful smile emerged from the water vein, and the light in his eyes shone brightly: "Thank you, old man." ”
The woodcutter looked at Dongfang Hong and whispered, "That, thank you......"
Shui Wei took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket and gave it to the woodcutter: "A little caution." When we find him, we will be grateful! ”
The woodcutter took the silver ticket, overjoyed, and went out with a thousand thanks. He couldn't help but sigh, what is the situation? He thought that it would be Dongfanghong who would pay, but he didn't expect that the girl would be more generous. What a surprise to him.
Mr. Lin was very happy when he heard Chu Tiankuo's news at first, and hurriedly ordered his dart master to pick up Chu Tiankuo.
But in a moment, his joy was replaced by a depressed mood.
Shui Mai's face was full of joy, and he impatiently saluted the Lin couple in the happy hall: "Godfather and godmother." The daughter retired first. After speaking, he cast an apologetic look at Dongfang Hong and Lin Xiaoman, and left in a hurry.
Needless to say, everyone knew that she was in a hurry to find Chu Tiankuo.
Lu Caier silently saluted the Lin couple, smiled apologetically at Dongfanghong, and chased the water vein.
"Sister Lu!" Shen Mei called out and followed.
Li Shuang faced the rest of the people in the happy hall, and after saluting with his fists, he also chased after them.
Originally, the marriage was set in an extremely hasty manner, and there was no extra time to entertain the guests, and the wedding hall was deserted, with only a few people. Now, most of the people ran away.
And that's not the worst-case scenario. After all, it is the bride and groom who are going to worship.
The few people who left just now were just foils and embellishments. Without the green leaves, the flowers are still beautiful.
However, who can tell Mr. Lin that at this moment, what is the groom doing?
Oh, my God! The bridegroom is taking off his wedding clothes.
Dongfanghong is like seeing light in the darkness. He was still worried about how to shirk this marriage. Now, I just found a staircase to go down. He suddenly felt relieved in his heart, and as soon as he took off his clothes, he was about to go out the door.
Lin Xiaoman was really at a loss for what to do about the sudden change, and just stood there in a daze.
Mr. Lin's face changed color, and he shouted softly: "Lord Dongfang, the auspicious time has arrived, what do you mean?" ”
Dongfang Hong quickly typed the draft in his mind, he raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Yu Zhi, Chu Tiankuo is my confidant and friend. Yu Gong, it is my duty to find Chu Tiankuo. I should look for him, both in public and private. I can't delay big things for the sake of my children's personal interests. ”
He wanted to hide his embarrassment with a smile. However, in this case, it is really impossible to laugh.
