Chapter 3 Upgrade and eat fish

The old man with the green face and fangs couldn't help but say, and leaped forward to fight with the flowers. Seeing this, Wen Yeting resisted with his palms, and the two forces handed over, and both of them took a few steps back.

"Oh? It's a bit interesting, this seemingly weak white-faced scholar still has some skills. ”

Wen Yeting couldn't answer, the wound on his body was oozing blood, and he had just been poisoned by the thick fog, and he felt dizzy at this time, clutching his chest and panting.

"He's coming for me." Hanama muttered secretly.

"Girl, you still have a lot of enemies."

"Not an enemy."

"That's?"

Before she could finish her words, the old man took advantage of Wen Yeting's breathing and flew forward again, trying to hold down Hanama's arm with one hand and approaching with his fist with the other.

Suddenly, she caught the old man's heavy punch with both hands, and reprimanded with a smile: "Old man, you can also say hello in advance." ”

The old man chuckled, reaching for her Hidden Blade with one hand, and continuing to oppress her with the other.

This time, she saw the opportunity to dive, knelt on her legs, reflexively restrained, and took out her hidden blade and pointed directly at the other party. Unexpectedly, the old man quickly clamped the Hidden Blade with two fingers, causing her to retreat, and she was sweating profusely in an instant, and the two sides confronted each other for a long time.

At this time, Wen Yeting relieved herself and wanted to help her, but before she took a few steps, she heard her shout, "Get out of the way!" ”。

She simply let go of her Hidden Blade and fought with her bare hands, trying to push the old man backwards with one palm, but he avoided it. Instead, she fell into the air, and the old man turned over and grabbed her neck from behind, and suddenly she was at a disadvantage and couldn't move.

"Serve?" The old man's words were not contemptuous, but ridicule.

She was indeed convinced, but she was never willing to accept defeat and show softness, so she pouted and did not speak, as if she was expressing her unwillingness with her back.

The old man let go of her and roared happily: "I finally saw someone!" ”

Wen Yeting saw that she was fine, and she was also relieved, "Old man, we just entered here by mistake, and we have no evil intentions, please make it convenient and tell us the way out." ”

She was about to lean over and pick up her Hidden Blade, but the old man took the first step, picked up the Hidden Blade and looked at it repeatedly, and said with emotion: "That's it!" That's it! ”

"What's that?" She asked in confusion in her heart.

"This old man is probably the predecessor of my clan, and my clan's hidden blades are engraved with a flower, representing everyone, and he must have recognized it. If he asks anything, I will answer. ”

"Okay, got it, you've said it a few times. Rest assured, I am entrusted by others and loyal to people, and I have my own measure. ”

Sure enough, the old man turned around, looked at her with a smile, and asked, "What's your name?" Did you come here when you saw the flowers outside? What is the purpose of coming here for water? ”

So she replied one by one according to what Hanama said: "My name is Hanama, and as my predecessors said, I was attracted by the water-based poplar flower." As for why he went to Ruoshui, it was because he had to go to Jinyun City to act. ”

The old man thought to herself, she knew that it was a water-based poplar, and it seemed that it was indeed a clansman. So he replied resentfully, "Jinyun City? What are you going to do in that cannibalistic place? ”

She was hesitating whether to tell the truth, but the old man whimpered in an instant, "Twenty years ago, I heard that Wang Miao beheaded all the men of my clan in order to force the princess to marry, and I was ordered to do things for Wang Miao outside. Two years later, when the limelight had passed, I went to Jinyun City to connect with my clansmen, but I found out that except for the princess, the other clansmen had fled Jinyun City. So I planned to look for you, but I happened to bump into Wang Miao's elite guard in the fish and meat township, doing nonsense, I unfortunately leaked my whereabouts in order to save a young girl, so I had to cancel the plan to return here. ”

"I see, but, senior, the princess, she has passed away. It was she who ordered her clan to go to Jinyun City and find the right time to kill Wang Miao. ”

The old man's eyes widened, and his beard, which was already pale, trembled with the anger, and he said with a chant: "What? Wang Miao, a bastard, didn't lose his surname! The princess is his sister! Don't talk about marrying her, you actually hurt her ruthlessly......"

She was shocked when she heard this, there are not many records of Wang Miao in the history books, but she didn't expect him to be such a scum. She only remembered that Qin and Henan were fighting in Shuzhou back then, and the strength of the two was almost the same, so the battlefield gradually spread from Shuzhou, with countless casualties and rivers of blood. I heard that that year, Qin Du didn't seem to have been dark, even in the dark night, he could see the sky lit up by the flames of war.

I wonder if this war is also related to Wang Miao?

"What are you thinking? Why don't you convey my words? ”

Hearing Hanama's inquiry, she came back to her senses, "Oh, I remembered some of the past, and I got distracted. ”

Seeing that she was silent, the old man said, "Let's go, I'll find clean clothes for you to change into first." ”

So she followed forward, Wen Yeting heard it in a fog, but when she saw the two of them singing and harmonizing, she didn't dare to talk.

Seeing that she had already taken a step, Wen Yeting was so anxious that he grabbed her hand, which scared her a spirit, he let go embarrassedly, and muttered: "Hanama, although I don't understand what you two are talking about, but you just went with him like this, be careful of deception." ”

"Isn't that still you? If we can't beat us, we'll run. ”

When Wen Yeting saw her say this, it was not easy to stop anything, and it seemed that the old man did not look like a big treacherous person, so he also followed behind.

The old man spoke to himself as he walked, and said endlessly: "When I fled here, I accidentally found that there is a water-based poplar flower here, which is particularly rare in Shuzhou, but my people know it well, so I thought of using this flower to attract you." I used a trick on the riverside, only the clansmen could see the water-based poplars in the illusion, and ordinary people could only see the bottomless gaps, so they did not dare to approach. I also saw the poison of flowers in the fog near the heart of the river, and buried the poison in the thick fog, even if they were accidentally pulled into the gap, and when they swam here, they had already inhaled the poisonous gas, and if they were not from my clan, I would not care if they were alive or dead. But fortunately, I've been waiting here for 18 years, and I've finally waited for you. ”

When she heard this, she was shocked, she was really a scheming and ruthless person.

"This old man almost killed me, what a blessing!" Wen Yeting was pondering, but the flowers in front of him stopped, and he almost hit her back, shrinking back in fright.

The sky is high and the water is wide here, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the lush green does not see the slightest sense of gloom. There is a clear and clean lake in the depths, which is clear and clear, the water waves are not prosperous, and the lake surface is covered with delicate and dripping water-based poplars, which is extraordinarily wonderful.

She was hungry. Seeing the fish swimming around in this lake, some people can't move their feet.

Wen Yeting saw her stop, followed her gaze, but didn't see anything unusual, but saw her throat rolling up and down, as if swallowing saliva.

"You're not necessarily thinking about how to catch fish?"

She didn't answer, silently rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs, and looked like she was about to go down to the lake.

Wen Yeting stopped her, "Eh, wait a minute, in case this fish is also poisonous." ”

The old man was still muttering something to himself, but when he saw that no one had spoken for a long time, he looked back and saw that the two were coveting his fish, and hurriedly ran over.

"You two young people, if you want to eat fish, you have to tell the master's family, don't you? I'm still talking there, but your mind has drifted 90,000 miles away. ”

So he picked up a bamboo pole from the lake, and struck a big fish, and the fish was lifeless after a few times, and he lifted the bamboo pole in front of her, as if asking for credit.

"Good! Thank you seniors! Overjoyed, she took the fish and swayed on.

"Where did I just go? I interrupted and couldn't remember. Forget it, let's go change your clothes first. ”

A chic and quaint wooden house sits by the lake, and the gazebo outside the door complements each other, which looks particularly elegant and exquisite, and it must have taken a lot of thought.

The old man led her to the house and closed the door, while Wen Yeting waited outside the door, complaining reluctantly: "This old man is really close and intimate, and I am about to freeze to death." ”

At this moment, the door opened, and the old man entered the house, and when he left, he also confessed, "Don't eavesdrop, be careful that I cut off your ears", Wen Yeting was worried in his heart, and strode to the pavilion in front of the house, leaning on the eaves pillar, and pretending to look at the two people in the house casually.

"Girl, the old man's name is Holly, what are your plans for this trip?" The old man asked first.

She followed the instructions of the flower room: "Aunt Qingke and Aunt Yuming have already gone to Jinyun City first, one is waiting for the opportunity to blend into the caravan, and the other is pretending to be a florist from Jinyun City. At the beginning, the two of them did not inform us of the mission when they left, and I am afraid that it was also after arriving in Jinyun City that they found it difficult and dangerous, so they sent me to help. Who knew that I hadn't stepped out of the door yet, but I was first approached by Wang Miao. Thanks to the man outside the house, my clan was able to retreat, and then I went to Jinyun City as planned. ”

"What about the Princess's children? Where is she now? Is it safe? ”

"The princess's child is me."

Holly was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed respectfully: "Young master! ”

She was also startled, and leaned down to help him, "Seniors don't have to be polite, just call me Huajian." I also learned about this a few days ago, it turned out that the princess of Shuzhou was my mother, and Wang Miao was my father, but in fact he was my uncle. ”

Holly let out a long sigh, "Since the princess has decided to get rid of Wang Miao, then I am also duty-bound." It's just that when I first fought with you, I found that your moves seem to be different from those used by the women of my clan, but you still studied under other sects? ”

"Oops, didn't think about that." Her heart sank, and then she replied after Hanama: "When I was young, I was not gifted and intelligent, and I had an excellent temperament, and occasionally I was clumsy and could not even hold a hidden blade, and I was often scolded. It's a shame to say that at that time, I also complained and cried a few times, but fortunately, I was able to grit my teeth and persist. Later, in order to improve his martial arts, he stole a few tricks from the martial arts cheats in the clan, but he was afraid that his aunts would scold him, so he didn't show it in front of them. I just fought with my predecessors, and in order not to reveal my identity, I deliberately used other tricks, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't hide your insight. ”

"Girl, you're really good at making up nonsense." After she finished speaking, she sighed in her heart.

Holly lowered her eyes and nodded, then pondered for a while, and continued: "The old man has a reluctant request, men and women of our clan have always practiced different martial arts, women focus on defense, and men are good at attacking, if you complement each other and integrate the two, it will be of great benefit to you in the future, and second, you can also inherit the martial arts of our men." I don't know what you think? ”

"Of course it's good to practice martial arts." She felt happy to forget her worries when she thought of this, but she didn't dare to say more, just waiting for Hua to talk.

"It's good to be taught by my predecessors, and it's a great honor to be among the flowers. It's just that my aunts are still waiting for me to help, afraid that the process will be delayed. ”

"Don't worry, it won't take long. I think you will die a hundred times when you go this time, especially if you have to deal with ruthless and scheming people like Wang Miao, wouldn't it be equivalent to sending you to death if you don't make all preparations? ”

She felt that what the old man said was not unreasonable, and persuaded in her heart: "This is the truth, if you can learn his skills, the chances of victory are much greater." ”

Hanama only responded with a shallow "um", so she replied, "Then please leave it to the seniors." ”

Holly also smiled and replied, "It's just my business." As for this boy, he could have stayed with you, and I would have done my own thing. ”

She followed Holly's words and looked out of the house, pretending to be casual and said, "Since he is still useful, can he trouble his senior to find a body to dry clothes for him?" lest he be frozen before he can be used. ”
