The happy atmosphere did not envelop the residents of the nearby villages, and those who abandoned their companions and fled back, although they were not scolded, were still ashamed of the cold eyes around them.

Suddenly, a strange rumor began to circulate in the village, saying that the guest of Qiao Yang's family was a monster, and someone saw a tiger bite a hole in his stomach, but now he is like a nobody, it is not a monster, maybe it is related to the monster that made trouble in the county twenty years ago.

It didn't take long for the words "Qiao's family is not simple" to come out, saying that Lao Qiaotou had hunted a big insect alone earlier, and now his son led the team to kill the big worm, and in the end he killed the big worm, which is what ordinary people can do, but I don't see more than ten people surrounding and killing the big worm and still being killed in all directions?

Someone figured out such a situation from the rumors: Lao Qiao is very powerful and has something to do with monsters, Xiao Qiao is very powerful, and he is also related to monsters, so think about it, aren't they all a family!

The rumors became more and more violent, and the business of the tailor shop was not good, and even the surrounding people put yellow charms on the door in order to find a peace of mind.

In the afternoon, Qiao Qing'er sat on the threshold of the tailor's shop, looking at the deserted surroundings, there was not a single figure in sight, and she couldn't help pouting resentfully.

"Hmph, these villains who will take revenge, obviously our family is so good to them, and the old man has also saved them, but they are like this to us, it's really not a good thing."

"Okay, Qing'er, don't swear." Lu Ying walked over and comforted, "You can't blame them, the world is very big, they are short-sighted, and they naturally regard things they don't understand as gods and demons, in fact, there are gods and demons in this world, it's just people doing it." Some people can't see the good of your old man, so it will seem that they are very useless, and they will feel uncomfortable. You can't learn from them, you will only complain about others, people who don't work their own, you can't live happily all your life, people, once you get bad, it's hard to get better. ”

"Oh, mother, you're so long-winded, I know. It's people like them that I hate the most, how could I become them! It's better to die than to die. ”

"You can't keep talking about death, it's unlucky."

"Alright, alright, I got it."

……

"I know you're here, give, the wooden box has been repaired, see how it goes, and what else needs to be changed." Qiao Yang handed the wooden box to Shi Lan.

Shi Lan took the wooden box, looked left and right, put it on his back again, trotted a few laps, and was very satisfied.

"Thank you."

"It's all a family, what's polite." Qiao Yang waved his hand, was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered, "Are you in such a hurry to get the box?" ”

"They don't like Shi Lan, Shi Lan is here and will only cause trouble for you, so."

"Don't bother, Qing'er Zhao'er Ye'er, our family likes you, how can you feel troublesome, you heard the rumors in the village, you don't have to care about them, other people's eyes are nothing, the most important thing is that the family is safe and happy together."

"No, it's not them, there are terrible people, if they knew that Shi Lan was still here, they would have taken Shi Lan away." Shi Lan thought of those who could fly in the air, and he felt inexplicably scared in his heart.

Is Ah Mei talking about those officers and soldiers? Indeed, if they come, even I can't stop it, and when Ah Mei is arrested, can I rescue Ah Mei like an old man? Let's not talk about whether it can or not, if we do this, we will implicate Ying'er and them...... Sure enough, letting Ah Mei leave is the best choice.

Qiao Yang was silent, turned his head to look at the two wooden tablets in front of the tomb, and finally sighed.

"When are you leaving?"

"Pack your things and leave in a moment."

"So fast."

"Well, Shi Lan wants to go to Yunxi early."

"Well, I'll help you clean up."

The two of them left the tomb together, and the breeze blew a few leaves that fell on the wooden tablet and flew into the unknown distance.

There weren't many things to pack, two sets of clothes that Qiao Qing'er gave to Zhang Jing, some dry food, a wooden sword, and a broken saber.

Qiao Yang originally wanted to give Shi Lan some gold sore medicine and other medicines, but thinking that Shi Lan's wound could heal quickly, he gave up, thinking that there was nothing he could give, so he gave her all the private money he secretly hidden.

"It's good to have a little silver when you go out."

Shi Lan didn't know why, but Qiao Yang said that it was good, so she felt that it should be like this, so she put away the silver taels.

Putting on the hat, Shi Lan turned around and walked out of the door and walked towards the back of the mountain.

Qiao Yang thought that she would go to the tomb again to take a look, so she sent her all the way, but she didn't expect that Shi Lan didn't stop, and after passing the tomb, she walked along the mountain road.

Qiao Yang knew that she was going to leave quietly.

"Don't you say goodbye to Qing'er?"

Shi Lan stopped and looked at the village under the mountain, under the scorching sun, people were still busy, running around for their livelihood, and the hidden tailor shop in the corner of the village should have a woman, who was as busy as people and was seriously doing female celebrity, right?

There are not many people Shi Lan knows well, and even fewer people care about it, if she cries and lets herself stay, can she still leave like Zhang Jing? Probably not.

Shi Lan turned around and showed a smile: "Brother, when Qing'er asks, you will say that I will go to find Grandpa and Grandma, let her not worry, I will bring them back if I find it." ”

This "Brother" made Qiao Yang stunned for a long time, until Shi Lan walked away, and only a small figure was left, he came back to his senses and shouted at the mountain: "Sister, you must come back." ”

Shi Lan turned around and beckoned, turned around and continued walking.

Shi Lan is also leaving, going to that very far away Yunxi, grandpa, you said that you would wait for me there with your grandmother in eighteen years, Shi Lan knew that he was wrong, and he shouldn't stay here all the time, so you must not leave, you must wait for Shi Lan.

There is also Senior Brother, Little Flower Basket, you too, you have to wait for Shi Lan, Shi Lan will find you soon.

Embarking on the journey again, Shi Lan's mood has changed, no longer the hesitation he had when he first took a step, but a firm direction in his heart.

Pleasant mood, as warm as this sunshine, Shi Lan looked at the bright world outside the mountain, did not hesitate, greeted the sun, and walked out of Dalin Mountain.

It has been 20 years since she entered this world, Shi Lan feels familiar and unfamiliar, familiar is that the unchanged scenery, country roads, mountain villages, busy farmers, this picture seems to have been handed down from ancient times, familiar and kind.

And the strange thing is that the villagers are no longer as they were at the beginning, they greet her warmly when they see her, time flies, and after 20 years, people are no longer the same people as they were at the beginning.

Counting the rings in his mind, Shi Lan really understood the power of time at this moment.

It's okay this way, no one bother, and Shi Lan doesn't have to be afraid of revealing his identity.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly felt that something was missing, looked at the willow tree on the side of the road, and remembered that when Grandpa and Grandma took her to the city that year, they were afraid that she would be bored, so they picked up a branch for her to play.

Shi Lan looked around, but didn't see a dry branch, so he had to break a willow branch, wave his hand and swing it a few times before he was satisfied, and he jumped forward all the way.

When the villagers who were doing farm work around saw it, they whispered one after another, and said with a smile that this young man was childlike but dared to walk the rivers and lakes alone, I don't know if it was true or fake.

Shi Lan didn't know what they were laughing at, but this happy atmosphere made her mood a little happier, and she didn't care about what she said.

It wasn't until the city wall of Dalian City appeared in the sky that Shi Lan's happy mood calmed down, and after walking a few steps, the gate of Dalin City appeared, and the flow of people was bustling, so it was not lively.

Shi Lan couldn't help but recall all kinds of things in the past, some good and some bad, mixed in her heart, so that she stopped at the place where she fell into the city and didn't go any further.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and several soldiers rode out of the city.

Shi Lan was disturbed, turned to look over, the war horse was getting closer and closer, Shi Lan's heart suddenly panicked, his steps kept retreating, he didn't know what he tripped, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Not good!

Shi Lan drew a wooden sword and blocked it in front of him.

The cavalry swept past Shi Lan's side, just glancing at it, with a little more sneer on his face, but he didn't stop there.

Shi Lan watched the cavalry go away in a daze, and it took a long time to calm down.

"Hey, it's just a few cavalrymen, as for being scared like this? Didn't you do something wrong? A crisp female voice came.

Shi Lan looked up, but saw a person with a hat like herself standing in front of her, but a curtain of white yarn hung down on her hat, covering it more tightly, and she could only vaguely see the outline of her face, a plain white robe complemented by this hat, coupled with the exquisite red sword, so that this mystery was majestic, and she almost embroidered the words "rejecting people for thousands of miles" on her clothes.

"It's not."

"Hmph, a scholar is also afraid of soldiers, how can he enter the court as an official in the future, I think you should be a teacher in this small place, it is useless to go to the capital, I don't want such a scholar in the Song Dynasty." The man seemed to see Shi Lan carrying the yellow flag on the wooden box, so he regarded her as a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam.

After speaking, he walked past Shi Lan and walked in the direction where Shi Lan came.

Shi Lan got up, patted the dust on his body, and felt a little inexplicable, but after making this oolong, Shi Lan understood that with such a cover-up, those soldiers would not recognize him, so he settled down.

Dalin City is a remote place, and there is a large military camp next to it, not afraid of people making trouble here, so there is almost no inspection in the past, but today is different, there are many soldiers on duty at the city gate, checking the people who come by.

Shi Lan had the proof provided by Qiao Yang, coupled with the yellow flag planted on her box, she was not stopped by the guards, and she easily entered the city.

Dalin City seems to be different from 20 years ago, many pavilions are decorated with lights, prosperous, and so lively.

Shi Lan walked all the way and looked at it, and after walking for a long time, he was called by someone.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, the best lamb noodle soup has an endless aftertaste! Eh, this young man, the journey is long, why not come in and sit down, come to a bowl of sheep noodle soup, and live up to this trip to the forest. ”

"Don't make some literary crepes, Xiao Er, give Lao Tzu a bowl."

"Okay."

Shi Lan smelled it, it was indeed fragrant, and the person just now should have called her, although she was taken first, but it shouldn't matter, right? There are a lot of noodles.

Shi Lan thought so, and walked straight into the pergola.

"Shaoxia, do you want a bowl too?"

Shi Lan nodded.

"Okay, let's go get it ready for you."

Shi Lan followed the man's instructions, sat down at an empty table and chair, and suddenly heard the man who came in first say.

"Little Er, why is Dalin City so lively today."

"Oh? Didn't the guest officer hear that the young son of my Dalin City General's Mansion was going to get married? This mother's family is not small, I heard that it is the pearl of the palm of Heyang Mansion, and she is a fairy-like figure. ”
