Chapter 33: Reunion after a long absence
Chen Nian knew that Wen Daya had gone out with Silly Da early in the morning to pay respects to his dead brother in the ravine, and now that he heard that he was looking for himself as soon as he came back, his heart did not move, and his steps sped up a little. As soon as I turned around the half-high wall, I saw Wen Daya and Silly Daya standing at the gate of the village looking over here, and what Wen Daya was holding in his arms was nothing else, it was Lu Xiao's scimitar.
Chen Nian walked a few steps over, took the scimitar from Wen Daya's arms and looked at it carefully, his face could not hide his joy, and asked, "Where did you find it?" ”
Wen Daya didn't care about answering her, but pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said to her: "Miss Xie, you have a friend who is looking for you, let's ask him to come over, but he refuses." ”
Chen Nian was a little puzzled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked in the direction pointed by Wen Daya, and saw seven or eight horseback riders parked on the mountain road, and a man stood on his horse, looking at her quietly with his face raised.
Just at a glance, Chen Nian's body froze. That is Feng Junyang, Feng Junyang who she doesn't know whether she loves or hates every time she thinks about it.
The distance between the two was only a stone's throw away, so close that you could almost see the eyebrows of the man opposite. Chen Nian didn't turn around and fled, and Feng Junyang didn't take a step forward, the two looked at each other from a distance of more than 100 steps, just like that day on the Ziya River.
Feng Junyang clenched the reins with both hands, and then controlled himself not to step forward, and only stood there looking at Chen Nian. Her face has changed a lot, that is, her body has also risen a lot, her left arm is hanging in front of her, and she is holding the scimitar in her right hand, which he just handed back, Lu Xiao's scimitar. Feng Jun raised the corners of his lips and suddenly showed a hint of self-deprecation, only nodded lightly to Chen Nian, turned the horse's head and walked back.
Shunping never imagined that Feng Junyang would look at Chen Nian like this and leave, and after being stunned, he hurriedly patted his horse and followed closely, and persuaded in a low voice behind Feng Junyang: "Lord Shizi, it's so easy to see, why don't you go over and say a few words." ”
Feng Junyang was silent, only lifting the reins and walking slowly.
Shunping glanced at him secretly, and then said to himself: "Look at Miss Xie who is also too thin, I don't know how much I have suffered these days." Her person looked cold and hard, but in fact, her heart was softer than anyone else, and when she saw that these mountain bandits were pitiful, she had to stay and help them. Alas, with such a soft heart, you must not be deceived. ”
Feng Junyang listened quietly, still silent.
Shunping gritted his teeth, moved aside a little, and said: "But fortunately, Lu Xiao has been by Miss Xie's side, Miss Xie has a headache and brain fever, but he also takes care of her." To say that Lu Xiao is not bad, although he is from the Xian family, he is really good to Miss Xie??"
Before he could finish his last sentence, Feng Junyang's horsewhip came to him, and Shunping let out a low cry in shock, and hurriedly avoided the whip. Feng Junyang's originally indifferent face had become very ugly, but he just glanced at Shunping coldly and did not speak.
got his eyes, but Shunping was so frightened that he was silent, and he didn't dare to be smart anymore.
Chen Nian saw Feng Junyang turn around and leave, only then he exhaled softly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed for a while, and he thought that Feng Junyang should be so proud, he didn't cross the river to chase her that day, and he wouldn't come here to catch her again, but I don't know why he came to this Taihang Mountain again, could it be that there is a change in Qingzhou.
Her mind was a little messy, and she didn't bother to pay attention to Wen Daya and the others next to her, so she turned around and walked slowly towards the village. As soon as the person walked into the courtyard, Chaoyangzi came out of the house and asked her, "Who is coming?" ”
Chen Nian's reaction was still a little sluggish, and he looked at him twice, and then replied: "Feng Junyang." ”
Chaoyangzi was taken aback when he heard this, "Feng Junyang." I've got you. ”
Chen Nian shook his head, entered the house and came out immediately, taking the scimitar to Lu Xiao behind the village. Lu Xiao was immersed in the knife technique just now, completely unaware that Feng Junyang had already come, and it was very strange to see his scimitar, and asked Chen Nian: "Where did it come from?" ”
Chen Nian thought about it for a while, but still told Lu Xiao what happened just now, and said strangely: "How did he know that we were here." ”
Lu Xiao glanced at her and said lightly: "Since the person was brought by Wen Daya, you can ask Wen Daya if you know." ”
Chen Nian was in a big mess before, and he didn't think of this at all, but at this moment, he reminded him that he suddenly realized, and he hurriedly turned around to find Wen Daya, and couldn't take two steps, but Lu Xiao suddenly asked her: "You still like him, don't you." ”
Chen Nian paused, stood in place for a moment, and then replied softly: "I don't know either." ”
Lu Xiao followed from behind with a scimitar, "I'll go with you." ”
The two of them found Wen Daya, and Chaoyangzi was already asking what was going on with Wen Daya. Hearing that they met Feng Junyang in that ravine, and Feng Junyang initially misunderstood that Chen Nian was dead, Chaoyangzi frowned unconsciously, and said: "Lu Xiao's scimitar actually fell into their hands, it can be seen that they have already been to that ravine, could it be that the Li family pharmacy was burned by them." Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked Wen Daya again: "Among those of them, there is a man of thirty-five or sixteen years old, five short stature, and a brown face. ”
Wen Daya thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”
Chaoyangzi immediately jumped up from the ground, and shouted in shock and anger: "It was Feng Junyang who sent people to chase and kill me all the time." It caused me to wander around in this Taihang Mountain for many days. This guy is really small-minded and will be repaid. It's a shame that I had saved his life before, and it would have been better to let him die than to know this. ”
Chaoyangzi was scolding endlessly, but Chen Nian vaguely guessed something in his heart, that is, Lu Xiao also thought of somewhere, and couldn't help but look at Chen Nian's injured arm. Chen Nian noticed his gaze, and also glanced down at his left arm, and after a moment, suddenly said, "I want to leave here." ”
Since she has left Feng Junyang, she has to break off with him cleanly, and she never wants her every move to be in his eyes.
As soon as Wen Daya heard that Chen Nian was leaving, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "In this big winter now, where is Miss Xie going?" Even if you really want to leave, you have to wait for the weather to warm up. ”
Chaoyangzi didn't want Chen Nian to leave at this time, if Chen Nian was here, he could continue to live here with Jing Yuxuan by treating Chen Nian's injuries. Although this place is a little dilapidated, after all, the place is remote, and Lu Xiao is there, even Jing Yuxuan's enemy has come to him, as long as he and Lu Xiao join forces, there will not be too much danger. Chaoyangzi secretly played his own little abacus, but his mouth scared Chen Nian and said: "Your arm is not good, if you suffer from cold again at this time, you will leave the root of the disease in the future." ”
Chen Nian pursed the corners of his lips slightly, silent.
Lu Xiao has been with her for a long time, and when he looks at her, he knows that she still wants to leave, and he didn't say anything at the moment, but when there were only two of them left in the house, he asked Chen Nian in a low voice: "Xie Chennian, what are you afraid of him." ”
Chen Nian was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him.
Lu Xiao asked again: "Since he has stopped arresting you back, what are you afraid of him?" ”
Chen Nian couldn't answer this question, and she didn't know what she was afraid of, whether she was afraid that Feng Junyang would change her mind and arrest her again, or that she would shake her mind one day. She was torturing her heart, but she heard Lu Xiao ask: "Xie Chennian, is it possible that you have to hide from him for the rest of your life." In the future, wherever he has been, you will avoid it from afar? ”
Chen Nian was silent.
Lu Xiao couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw her like this, and shouted, "Xie Chennian." You are not a bird hanging under the porch, you are a young eagle soaring on our Mobei grassland. Don't think about running away, the birds that will hide in the eaves are the birds, and the young eagles can only grow into eagles if they are not afraid of wind and rain and spread their wings and fly high. ”
Chen Nian looked up at him unconsciously, slowly straightened his back in that bright and burning gaze, and replied in a deep voice: "Okay, I won't go." ”
Since she can't avoid Feng Junyang when she walks there, it is better to simply stay here, she has lived her life since she went to see what he can do to her.
Chen Nian had already decided to stay and not leave, so he gathered Wen Daya and the others together, and said: "I have already thought about staying and joining the gang, since everyone can trust me, I will accept the title of the big boss." I won't say much else, I will say a word to everyone here, I Xie Chennian only keep one word of 'righteousness', as long as you are worthy of me, I will never turn my back on you. ”
Wen Daya and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and pulled Lu Xiao into the gang, but they didn't want Lu Xiao to join the gang, but he didn't want Lu Xiao to do so, he looked at Chen Nian and said, "Where she is, I will be there, you can rest assured." ”
With his words, Wen Daya immediately had a reassurance, and said with a smile: "Casual, casual, this thing is reluctant, just casual." ”
Chen Nian and Lu Xiao were willing to stay, and everyone suddenly felt that the future was very bright, not to mention joy, but they didn't buy firecrackers to set off.
In stark contrast to the excitement in the stockade, it was Feng Junyang, who had been silent since he came down from the mountain, and Shunping didn't dare to talk more when he saw him, but secretly couldn't help but complain to Qiao Lao, "The prince is really dead to save face and suffer, so it was easy to find Miss Xie, but he only glanced at it from a distance and left." Hey, what do you think he's thinking? ”
Qiao Lao has been obsessed with martial arts all his life, and he has never understood the affairs of men and women, so he complained to him smoothly, thought about it for a long time, and said, "I don't know either." ”
Fortunately, Shunping just complained, and didn't expect to hear any answer from Qiao Lao, so he let out a long sigh when he heard the words, and said, "Forget it, go to bed early, we have to hurry tomorrow." ”
They had to chase the fleet of boats up the river, and they had to gallop fast, and they didn't know how much they would have to suffer, and it would be very dangerous if others knew their whereabouts. The more Shunping thought about it, the more he felt that his son's trip to Jiangbei was not worth it, even if he couldn't take Miss Xie away, he should go up and say a few words to comfort his lovesickness.
Shunping slept for less than two hours with a grumbling stomach, and got up again before dawn to follow Feng Junyang. Everyone just came out of the Flying Dragon Pass, but they didn't want to meet a team of Taixing cavalry, and the person at the head was none other than the twelve sons of the He family who should have stayed in Yiping, He Ze.
He Ze left the team and stepped forward alone, stood in front of Fengjun Yangma and looked at him silently for a moment, and then said with a solemn face: "Yunsheng is gone." ”
