Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man The One Hundred and Seventeenth Episode Overnight in Qingnibo

It was dark, Han Changdui was too far away to see the expression on Escort Li's face clearly, only to hear his voice completely devoid of sincerity, shrewd and rampant with greed and blood, like a vulture seeing carrion: "800,000 silver, do you want it." ”

The dumb girl put away her sword suddenly, her eyes were bright, with the coquettishness and innocence of a girl, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it was vicissitudes and roughness: "Li Shengzhi, you will have such a kind heart to give me a piece of the pie?" ”

Li Huwei laughed arrogantly: "Why do you think I want to give you a piece of the pie?" He walked over slowly, looked straight at the beautiful and refined girl appearance of the mute girl, stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, and seemed to smile: "Although I hate you as my mother, I think you are old, but your little appearance is really attractive, and I am so hungry that I can barely eat it." ”

The mute girl swung her sword angrily: "The surname is Li, you dare to humiliate me." ”

"Humiliating you?" Li Huwei smiled sarcastically: "Then how dare I, your hundred or ten ministers under the skirt must not beat me to death?" ”

With such a sneering mouth, the dumb girl hated to tear him apart, but she couldn't, she gritted her teeth and said: "The surname is Li, I have promised him, I won't move you, if you have something to say, let it go quickly." ”

Li Huwei also ridiculed enough, told the dumb girl the cause and effect of the matter, stared to the west and said: "I think they are bound to get the silver, as long as they follow them closely, they will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the silver." ”

The mute girl hesitated for a while, and didn't speak for a long time, but she was already moved.

Greed is a spark that entrenches in people's hearts, and it only takes a handful of firewood to start a prairie fire.

Li Huwei smiled and splashed the sparks of the spark fan: "The young master has been planning for so long, but in the end, the holy lord has taken the lead, the young master doesn't say it, but what do you think in your heart, you and I both know it, Mrs. Zhou, let go of your personal grievances and don't mention it, can you sit idly by and ignore the future of the young master?" ”

The dumb girl was stunned for a moment, and chattered coldly: "Then tell me, how much can I share." ”

Li Huwei smiled: "How much you will be given depends on how much effort you make." ”

The dumb girl also smiled: "The surname is Li, the conspiracy is implicit, you say it and listen to it." ”

Li Huwei grinned: "They are divided into two teams, one team goes west, and the other team returns to the fifth Feng, surnamed Zhou, you are a mother-in-law, you choose first." ”

The dumb girl hated and didn't speak, but beckoned to the old man who had been quiet, turned over and got on her horse, and went to the west.

The sound of horses' hooves quickly faded away, and Escort Li grinned, and the moonlight fell on his pale face, and his expression became more and more calm.

He carefully inspected the horse and the clothes left by the mute girl, and found that although the two of them had a holiday, the things she had prepared were very complete, including food, grass, water, salt, and medicinal materials.

He calculated the time for Han Changdui to leave, and without hesitation, he turned over and rode in the direction of the fifth beacon.

A man and a horse disappeared into the vast night, and the yellow sand gathered and scattered under the deep sky.

After a quiet while, Han Changwan and the others got up from behind the rocks, covered in sand and dust.

At this time, the night in Mohe Yanli was already cold, and the two of them had been lying on the ground for so long, the cold wind had already blown through the cracks of the bones, and the hands and feet were cold and painful.

Han Changdui patted the sand all over his body, looked at the direction where Li Escort had gone, and did not immediately catch up, but found a tall and raised rock and sat down to rest.

About an hour later, a tall cart, followed by two horses, circled around and arrived at the rocky mountain.

Han Changdui and Yao Qi greeted him.

Helian Wenyuan jumped down from the high car, his face was full of wind and frost, and he said solemnly: "Childe, as you expected, Escort Li chased after him." ”

Han Changwan nodded: "Did he find you?" ”

Helian Wenyuan shook his head with a smile: "No, it was already dark, and I hid behind the low wall again, watching him ride over, and I couldn't see it anymore, so I came out." ”

Han Changdui looked at the vast night, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Okay, then let him chase after him, let's go to the Golden Bowl Valley to rest for the night, and then leave after dawn." ”

Helian Wenyuan hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "That, childe, that, or let's deal with it on this rocky mountain for a night." ”

The cold wind blew over the unsheltered rocky mountains, and the sound of the wind was as miserable as a ghost crying wolf.

Yao Qi felt that there was a chill even in the cracks of his bones, and he couldn't help but clench his neckline, puzzled: "Brother Helian, there are houses and houses at the bottom of this valley, it's better than sleeping on this rocky mountain, why can't you go down and live." ”

Helian Wenyuan touched the horse's back, and was silent for a long time, before he was quite embarrassed and got up: "The Golden Bowl Valley is very unlucky, and it is unlucky to pass by, stay overnight, stay at night, be afraid of ghosts." ”

After hearing this, Han Changwan suddenly smiled and urged the horse to go to the bottom first.

Yao Qi followed, pursed his lips, and chuckled at Helian Wenyuan: "Brother Helian, with a living Hades like him, the little devil has to retreat." ”

This brother, called Helian Wenyuan, had a chill, and those who didn't know really thought she was a soft and soft little girl.

He looked at the sky speechlessly.

It is also said that the evil spirits are not as murderous as him, the living king of Hades.

Under the blue sky, the yellow mud-tiled roof outlines the undulating outline, and the withered and toppled poplars lay across the ground, tripped over people if they were not careful.

Han Changdui and Helian Wenyuan both held torches, the night was dark, and the firelight was dim, only dimly illuminating the surrounding square inches.

After taking a few steps forward, Han Changdui didn't hear Yao Qi's movement, and looked back.

I saw Yao Qi hanging behind him slowly, surrounded by light, the light shining directly on the wall, you can see the wall blank of the red willow branches entwined after the yellow mud is peeled off.

But strangely, she didn't have a torch or anything like that, but there was a strangely shaped lamp hanging on the horseback next to her.

Pressing his curiosity, he lit the light of the torch and slowly walked towards the village.

Everywhere around, low, toppled houses, half-hung poplar doors and windows creaked.

It was easy to find a house that had not collapsed and was still intact, and Helian Wenyuan pushed the door.

There was a creak, then a muffled thud, and the door slammed into the sand.

The sand is flying, and insects and ants are jumping around, which finally adds some vitality to this dead and silent village.

Helian Wenyuan waved his hand, brushed away the dust, took a torch and shone it into the house, and turned around and said, "Childe, the kang in this house has not collapsed yet." ”

Han Changdui took a closer look, although the door fell, it didn't fall apart, it was bundled up to block the door, it could still block the cold wind, and the big kang stove in the house was intact.

He nodded with satisfaction and followed Helian Wenyuan into the house: "Okay, let's rest here tonight." ”

Yao Qi followed him into the house, took off the lamp on horseback, and rested it on the dusty edge of the kang, which immediately illuminated half of the room.

It was bitterly cold in this room, the window paper on the windows had long since melted, and the cold wind poured into the room.

Helian Wenyuan settled the horses, found water and yellow mud, and pasted an indigo furoshiki on the leaky windows.

Although the stove was still intact, the large iron pot was covered with a thick layer of dust, and over the years, the dust plate formed a whole hard clay shell, almost fused with the bottom of the pot.

Yao Ji leaned over with great effort, and half of his body was buried in the pot, wanting to clean up the dust in the pot so that he could cook a pot of porridge to drive away the cold.

Helian Wenyuan came in with dry firewood, and what he saw was Yao Ji lying in the pot, and Han Changdui cleaning up the dust on the big kang.

He chuckled: "Ah Qi, are you going to stew yourself?" ”

Yao Qi turned his head, revealing a gray face, and then looked at the half of his body buried in the pot, and also smiled: "It's really like it." ”

Han Changwan smiled faintly: "Ah Qi, are you going to cook, don't bother washing that cauldron, just use a copper bowl." ”

Yao Qi sighed, lit the fire with Helian Wenyuan, set up a small copper bowl, and after the water boiled, she sprinkled a handful of mutton into the copper bowl.

The mutton was in the copper bowl, and with the ups and downs of the boiling water, the faint aroma of meat slowly dispersed, which shocked the three people who had been walking in the desert for a long time.

Helian Wenyuan smiled: "Miss Aqi, where did you get the mutton?" ”

Yao Qi smiled triumphantly: "Fifth Feng, I bought a little bit of the air-dried mutton from the shopkeeper in the wine shop, cut it into small pieces and take it with you." ”

As she spoke, she sprinkled another handful of green salt into the copper bowl, followed by another handful of dark green grains.

Helian Wenyuan was even more surprised, looked at Yao Qi back and forth, and said with a smile: "Ah Qi girl, what else did you bring?" ”

Yao Qi spread his hands and sighed regretfully: "That's all, no." ”

Helian Wenyuan smiled: "It's the first time that Miss Ah Qi has come back to Mohe Yanqi, and she can prepare so completely, which is very rare." ”

Yao Qi grinned: "I'm just greedy." ”

Han Changwan listened to the one-on-one answer between the two, his face was already a little heavy, and he became more and more suspicious that Yao Qi had something that he hadn't found out, and he actually knew Mo He Yanqi so well.

He looked at the lamp on the edge of the kang, the dim light stained the crystal clear lampshade, and the transparent lampshade reflected his slightly dull eyebrows.

He looked at the complicated and strange lamp and asked thoughtfully, "Ah Qi, what is this lamp called?" ”

Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, and smiled disguisedly: "This lamp is called," a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she smiled: "This lamp is called the Angry Wind Lamp." ”

Han Changwan was stunned and frowned slightly: "This name, why haven't I heard of it." ”

Yao Qi's eyes flashed narrowly, and he made it up seriously: "That's what the big food merchants call it, and this lamp was also bought from the big food merchant's shop." ”

After saying this, she breathed a shallow sigh of relief.

The big food merchant, the almighty backstabber, how many thunders have been carried for her along the way.

"Really?" Han Changwan looked at Yao Qi deeply, squinting his eyes and smiling incomprehensibly.
