Zhang Zilai drove the carriage, slowly left Xihezhou City, and drove all the way north.

The carriage of the carriage was very large, full of six or seven people, which was specially customized by Sima Qin for Li Tianhua.

The boy sat boredly in the carriage, a little listless. The old beggar looked in good spirits, as if he was not tired at all.

The young man suddenly remembered that the old man seemed to have said two words just now, so he asked tentatively, "Old man, what is your name?" ”

Li Tianhua didn't have any hope for this question at all, after all, the two sentences that the old beggar said when he got into the carriage just now were words that taught him a lesson.

To the young man's surprise, this time the old beggar actually answered this question: "My name is Yuan Fang, Yuan of Lantern Festival, and fart Fang." ”

This answer did surprise the boy a little. Especially when he heard the last few words, he laughed directly "poof".

Even Zhang Zilai, who was driving, listened to what the old beggar said, and obviously couldn't help laughing.

The old beggar was not at all impressed, and still ignored their laughter.

"No, have you ever seen someone introduce themselves like that?" Li Tianhua paused and asked, "So, where are you from?" ”

The old beggar thought for a moment and replied, "I have forgotten who it is." ”

When the young man knew the old beggar's name, he already felt that he had gained a lot, so he did not plan to ask the old man any more questions.

At this time, Yuan Fang asked rhetorically: "Boy, what kind of person do you think your father is?" ”

The boy was caught off guard by this question. He never expected this old man to ask this.

He pondered for a moment, then replied, "My father, I don't know exactly what he does. We don't have much money, but there always seems to be no shortage of money.

However, although he was strict with me and lazy, he was still more polite and warm to others.

Last time in our town, Daddy Chen came to the door to beg for a drink, and the two of them drank from night to day, and they were very drunk. As they drank, they babbled and babbled.

I was too young to hear what they were talking about. When I grew up, I forgot about it. Now all I remember is that my dad was so drunk and crying so much.

My father should not have too many shortcomings except for being a scoundrel and loving to owe money on credit.

Although he loves to pay on credit, he can always make up the money before the deadline arrives. Therefore, everyone is reassured about him.

Although his father is relatively ordinary, he should still be a little learned. He can not only fight iron and forge swords, but also burn fires and cook.

A few months ago, he said he was going to go out and I came to Xihe State. ”

Yuan Fang looked at the young man with some surprise: "In your heart, your father is this kind of image?" ”

"yes, what's the problem?"

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay," Yuan Fang smiled a little awkwardly, "It's your answer that surprised me a little..."

It turns out that this old man has so many words. Li Tianhua suddenly had some good feelings for this old man.

Zhang Zilai outside the carriage had mixed feelings in his heart.

This father and son are really the best.

The first time I heard someone say how his father was embarrassed. The point is, this is the man's son.

The carriage traveled for twenty days before it reached the boundary of Yanlong Prefecture.

Yanshui is the gateway to Yantaki Prefecture, which is connected to Takishui in the west and eventually flows into the Imperial Sea.

This smoke and water is a veritable place of dragon prosperity in the Daling Dynasty.

In the era when the Ling Dynasty was still called Hualing Kingdom, King Hualing used smoke and water as a screen and ruled by dividing rivers with the Three Kingdoms on the side of Takishui.

Later, the great victory of Yanshui made the Hualing army famous, weakened the power of Luo'anguo, and finally unified the world.

Li Tianhua got out of the carriage in a daze, and he was guilty of this way.

Zhang Zilai's driving skills are indeed familiar, but the twenty days of running in a row are indeed unbearable for him.

After Yuan Fang got out of the carriage, he just staggered a few steps, as if he was nothing.

"Eh, old man, why aren't you dizzy?" Li Tianhua was a little puzzled.

Yuan gave him a blank look: "It's so stupid, don't think nonsense when you sit in the carriage, just close your eyes and recuperate." In this way, if you say twenty days, it will be fifty days, and I will be fine if I shake two steps, old man. ”

The young man learned the appearance of Yuan Fang, walked around twice, and sure enough, he didn't faint.

"Hey, this works. Old man, do you have a name for these two steps? Li Tianhua became lively again.

Yuan Fang thought for a while and replied, "Look at how ugly you are, or call it Eight Strange Steps, how about it?" ”

"It's not good, it's not good, I walked ugly, but you walked beautifully? In my opinion, how about a heart-to-heart step at first sight? The boy couldn't help but be proud of his literary brilliance.

"Hey, yes, that's a nice name." Yuan Fang smiled from ear to ear.

This old man is really the same as Shennong, old and not serious.

"Boy, what are you thinking?" Shennong's voice sounded in his head.

Li Tianhua wondered what he was thinking, how did Shennong know.

Shennong laughed and said, "You don't have to wonder, now my cultivation can already see through your mind." ”

The young man was almost angry: "It's okay if you steal my cultivation, and now you have to come and peep at me." Old man, aren't you a hooligan!

In the face of Li Tianhua's accusation, Shennong could only remain silent. Indeed, what I did this time was really disgraceful.

Li Tianhua calmed down and walked to Zhang Zilai's side. At this time, Zhang Zilai was stunned in front of the smoke and water.

Feeling the surging river rushing to his face, the sky was full of mist, and gradually diffused his vision, Zhang Zilai couldn't help but sigh: "Good water, good water!" If the desert of the homeland can have such a rushing river, how good it would be! ”

Li Tianhua is a child who grew up in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has been accustomed to seeing rivers since he was a child.

In Jiangnan, rivers are common. But the smoke and water in front of him still shocked him.

Not only that, but the boy could also feel that this big river seemed to have a vague sense of familiarity.

Li Tianhua felt the majestic breath of smoke and water with his heart, and asked casually, "Uncle Zhang has been here?" ”

Zhang Zilai's eyes became confused: "I came to fight with Liu Fuling." In the end, I lost and was ranked fourth in the world, and he won and ranked third in the world. ”

"So that's the case, then Ye Yang also had a fight with Liu Fuling?" There was a glint in Li Tianhua's eyes, he had always been very interested in the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Zilai smiled and said: "Haha, if I'm not mistaken, the short sword that Ye Yang gave you that day almost killed Liu Fuling." ”

"Huh?" The boy couldn't help but feel a chill run through his back.

"According to Liu Fuling's temper, if you take out that short sword, you will be taught a lesson by him. I have a good relationship with him, and if I take you, Liu Fuling will not treat you badly. ”

As the fog cleared, the three of them realized that their clothes were already soaked. This smoke and water really deserves its name.

Not far away, there was a group of people like them, all enjoying the spectacular scene of the great river to the east.

The figure of the group gradually became clear. However, Zhang Zilai's eyes fell on the youngest of them...
