Chapter 20: Finally Descending the Mountain
When Lu Wei and Feng Xingyun returned to the vicinity of the cave, it was already sunset and nightfall. The promise of the wind and clouds made her emotions excited.
"Unique. ”
"Master. ”
Two voices rang out at the same time, interrupting the two who were still talking.
"Master, there's news. Feng Ji stepped forward and respectfully handed over a white jade plaque with both hands.
Lu Wei looked sideways at him and said briskly: "You go and get busy, the fat man and I will go to the stream to clean up the food." ”
Seeing this jade plate, she knew that Feng Xingyun had something to deal with. When she saw this thing for the first time, she asked Feng Xingyun curiously, and he said that this was a letter seal used to convey news, and after injecting the spirit element, she could leave a message, and she called it magical at the time.
Feng Xingyun nodded to her, took the letter seal, and walked into the cave with Feng Ji.
Lu Weiwei and the fat man walked towards the stream, and as they walked, she asked the fat man about today's harvest.
Because of the difference in cultivation, the place where the two of them practiced was also different. The fat man was carried by Feng Ji on the edge of the middle perimeter of the Sunset Mountains, and she was carried by Feng Xingyun near the inner perimeter.
Along the way, the only fat man who kept making fun of the land, and the crisp laughter from time to time added a bit of excitement to this empty mountain forest.
By the time she returned to her place with the clean-washed spirit beast, it was already completely dark. In the distance, she saw the handsome figure in the moonlight.
Is this waiting for her?
Lu Wei trotted and stood in front of Feng Xingyun: "What's wrong?"
Feng Xingyun looked at her with a complicated expression, and said for a long time: "I have something to do, I have to leave." ”
Lu Weiwei's heart sank, he lowered his head and clenched his hands, and his emotions that had been excited for a day suddenly turned cold.
Are you leaving? He's leaving. Come to think of it, someone like him should be very busy. He's been here for the past month, and he must have a lot of things to deal with.
Lu Wei hid the reluctance in his heart and raised his head calmly, "Well, I know." When?"
"Now. ”
Feng Xingyun looked at her indifferently, but clenched her fists, knowing that this girl was actually disappointed in her heart, and she broke her promise. But he had to deal with it himself, and he didn't want her hopes to be disappointed if he could.
"Master, it's time to go. Feng Ji saw that the two of them had almost finished talking, and came over to remind.
"Hmm. ”
Feng Xingyun glanced at Lu Weiwei deeply, didn't speak again, turned around and jumped up, and left in the sky.
Lu Weiwei looked at the figure that disappeared in the sky in an instant, and his heart hurt as if he had been pricked by a needle. The tightness in her chest made her feel like she had a lot to say, but she didn't know what she was going to say.
In the end, she put her hands to her lips and shouted in the direction where Feng Xingyun left: "Great God, thank you!"
Feng Xingyun, who had already swept a long distance, was about to cut through the void, when he suddenly stopped what he was doing and glanced back.
"Protect her secretly, and when her life is not in danger, you don't have to take action. ”
"But the master ......" Feng Ji was shocked, the master is going back by himself?
Feng Xingyun didn't pay attention to what he didn't say, raised his hand to tear the sky, and his body disappeared into the void of the black hole in a flash.
Lu Wei, who returned to the cave, was a little depressed. Having lost the appetite to eat, she threw the spirit beast to the fat man, leaned against the stone wall, closed her eyes and sorted out her thoughts.
Feng Xingyun's departure did make her very sad, but she was too sentimental just now. The first intersection between the two was just because they wanted to find out each other's secrets. Even though they got along fairly well this month, he taught her a lot of things, and they tacitly agreed that they didn't test each other again, but in the end they could only be regarded as familiar strangers. Since when did this kind of concern and reluctance become so strong in her heart.
Lu Wei thought about it and didn't figure it out after thinking about it all night. Looking at the gradually whitening sky, she finally attributed all this to the fact that during the time that the two of them were together, she had regarded Feng Xingyun as a friend, and she was naturally reluctant to leave her friend.
Lu Weiwei, who had figured it out, finally became relaxed.
Walking out of the cave, looking at the stout and tall verdant ancient trees in the morning mist, the two wooden stakes used for practice, the big pit that was blown up during the first alchemy on the ground, and every day she lived here, she was deeply imprinted in her mind, because-
"Fatty, get up. We're going down the hill today!"
The only heroic roar of the landing echoed in the mountains and forests.
Zhou Kui, have you washed your neck and waited?
===========
A few hours later, Lu Weiwei and the fat man finally set foot on the dirt road after a four-month absence.
One end of the dirt road leads to Linxi Village, and the other end leads to Anye City.
The two looked sideways in the direction of home, no longer nostalgic in their hearts, and walked towards An Yecheng with firm steps.
Walking on a dirt road in the countryside is much better than walking in the mountains, but it's not too pleasant. The paved road surface of loess is somewhat rugged, and the occasional dust is very choking.
The two walked on this road for most of the hour against the sun. Finally, at the fork in the road, Lu saw an ox cart slowly coming from another road.
She pulled the fat man and waved her hand forward, rushing into the middle of the road.
The driver was an old man in his sixties, and when he saw that it was two and a half children who stopped the car, he hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped.
"Uncle, are you going into the city, can you give us a ride?" Lu Wei bent his eyes and smiled sweetly.
The old man saw that the little girl who spoke was delicate and sweet, and the little fat man next to him also looked honest and honest. Looking at the coarse cloth clothes worn by the two of them, they just thought they were children from other villages, and they agreed immediately.
Lu Wei thanked him and jumped into the ox cart with the fat man.
"What village are you two babies from, and what are you going to do in the city?" asked the old man as he drove the ox cart.
"I ......"
"Uncle, we are orphans and have no home. In the past few days, I have come to the mountains to dig up some elixir and prepare to enter the city to exchange money. ”
Lu Wei interrupted the fat man's words, he didn't know the inside story of Linxi Village, and casually revealing his identity might bring danger to the two of them.
"Oh, that's it, it's pathetic. I just looked at the direction you came from, and I thought you were the ones who survived the luck of Linxi Village. The old man shook his head with some pity.
"Linxi Village, what's going on there, do you mean that all the people in the village are dead?" Lu Wei asked in surprise, as if he was really just curious about what was going on.
The old man took out the cigarette bag and pot, filled it with shredded tobacco, took a puff of "horn", and then said slowly: "Hey, it's dead, it's all dead." I heard that it was a robbery by bandits, and they killed the whole village in one day, causing evil. ”
Lu Wei sneered in her heart, although Zhou Kui's words that day made her guess that it would be such a result, but now that she heard the old man talk about it, she was still angry at the shamelessness of the Zhou family.
"Did the bandit catch it?" Although she knew that the truth of the matter was not the case, she still followed the old man's words and asked.
"It's been so easy, it's been months, and it is said that I haven't even seen the shadow of the bandits. The old man clicked on the cigarette pouch and said: "The steward of the Zhou family in the city took people to search in the mountains every once in a while, but he didn't find anyone. ”
