Chapter XVII
The young man felt that people had already healed themselves, so how could they let them ride donkeys, so he said, "How can this be? ”
Zhu Mingyu replied, "You're welcome, you're injured." ”
Then he turned over on the donkey and muttered: "Brother donkey, look at the evil fate of the two of us, I can't ride you." Then he said loudly: "Miss Li, let's hurry up to the White Eagle Villa, just follow the official road, although it is far away, you can get there in half a day." ”
Amber asked Li Fenglan in a low voice: "Miss, who is this son?" ”
Li Fenglan told him what happened just now, but he only talked about how he encountered it, and he didn't say anything about his two hearts and minds.
As soon as Li Fenglan finished speaking, the young man suddenly spoke: "Hey, what's your name?" ”
Li Fenglan knew that the unbelawed one was coming, so she had to answer: "My name is Li Fenglan." ”
Amber smiled and said, "My name is Amber. ”
Zhu Mingyuxin said: People didn't ask you. But Amber answered, and Zhu Mingyu had no choice but to follow: "Poor Zhu Mingyu." ”
Who would have thought that the young man would say unkindly: "I didn't ask you two." ”
Li Fenglan was angry: "I said you, can your temper be better?" It was an injury that someone showed you just now. ”
"Hmph, I didn't ask him."
"You get me back."
"That's one thing."
"Don't play tricks on me, then I'll change the word, I won't allow you to come out in the future, you can't come out!"
"This! That's five! ”
"Five is five!"
"Okay, you wait." The boy closed his eyes when he finished speaking.
Li Fenglan hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, what's your name?" If you forget, get yourself one. ”
"My name is Morning Mist, his name is Twilight, any other questions?"
"No, let him come out."
The boy closed his eyes, and after a while they suddenly opened them, with some confusion in his eyes, and he almost fell off his horse.
The conversation that happened just now made Amber and Zhu Mingyu feel incredible. He is a very reasonable person in the woods, why is he so uneducated when he gets on the horse? It's like a different person.
Twilight looked around blankly and saw that everyone else was looking at him, and he understood what was going on, and said embarrassedly, "There's something wrong with my head, and sometimes another person comes out." ”
Zhu Mingyu was relieved and said, "Poor Dao has heard of this disease, and he may have this kind of disease if he has been injured in the head. ”
Li Fenglan asked: "Is there a treatment?" ”
"It varies from person to person, some people recover in three days, and some people can ...... for a lifetime Can't recover. ”
This question is somewhat heavy, and Li Fenglan hurriedly changed the topic: "Duyun Gongzi, get acquainted again, my name is Li Fenglan." ”
Amber, who still hadn't figured out what was going on, smiled and said, "My name is Amber." ”
Zhu Mingyu had no choice, so he had to follow and say: "Poor Zhu Mingyu." ”
…
After a few days of driving, Bai Boju finally arrived at the Thorn Gate station, at the foot of the mountain, there were many martial arts people who went to mourn. In the crowd, Bai Boju recognized a man. The man was dressed in brocade clothes and a crown of jade, dressed like a rich son, but his face was pale, as if he was suffering from some disease. He was followed by several people.
"Brother Yang!" Bai Boju shouted.
This person is Yang Fan of the Thorn Gate, and he is very valued by Qiao Fei.
The man turned around, saw Bai Boju, and greeted him with a smile.
"Brother Bai, I haven't seen each other for a long time." Yang Fan greeted decently.
Bai Boju jumped off the horse and said, "Old Master Qiao has unfortunately passed away, Brother Yang, the festival is changing." ”
"Thank you. Let me introduce you to you," Yang Fan introduced to the people around him, "This is the eldest son of the Bai family in Luoyang, Bai Boju." ”
Meeting with a few people and saluting, Yang Fan said, "Brother Bai, let's go up the mountain together." ”
Walk all the way to the mountain gate.
Bai Boju met Yang Fan when he broke into the rivers and lakes two years ago, and he had a little friendship. The two chatted while going up the mountain.
"A few of us were ordered by the old master Qiao to go to Songshan to participate in the martial arts conference, who knew that this departure was actually goodbye."
Bai Boju said: "The old master helped the Bai family back then, and the Bai family has always been grateful to Dade, but unfortunately before he repaid the favor, the old master left. ”
Yang Fan asked: "Brother Bai, I want to inquire about the poisoning of the old master, the Bai family ...... How much do you know? ”
Bai Boju shook his head and replied: "Brother Yang, our Bai family has only known the surface of the affairs of the rivers and lakes over the years, and it is too deep...... We don't know either. ”
"It's a lot of talking, which makes Brother Bai embarrassed."
"Brother Yang is polite, the Bai family will definitely try their best to help Thorn Gate find the murderer."
At this point, Yang Fan suddenly coughed violently, took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his mouth.
Yang Fan has had tuberculosis since he was a child, and he practiced martial arts just to strengthen his body. He has good understanding and bones, and he has few opponents at a young age. It's a pity that everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Yang Fan doesn't have a long life.
Bai Boju said: "I heard that the old master had just died, so I chose a new one. ”
Yang Fan shook his head: "I haven't seen this new master, and there are no rumors about her on the rivers and lakes." ”
"A few days ago, Caiyunhui and a group of rabble of the Wuhuo Gang besieged the Thorn Gate, and your master of the sect cut down more than 20 of their good hands, you, the new master, are strong in martial arts."
Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's right, it's also very means." ”
While talking, the two of them had already arrived outside the gate of Thorn Gate. The whole thorn gate is lingering in a sorrow, the elegiac couplet on the gate, the spirit flag in the door, and the thorn gate people who walk back and forth wearing linen and filial piety. This funeral is extremely glorious.
The two said goodbye at the door, Yang Fan and the others were insiders and entered the villa directly. Bai Boju was a guest, and he handed over the name thorn at the door before entering.
Today is the day of Qiao Fei's burial, Bai Boju came relatively late, and when he entered, the Thorn Gate Square was already crowded. By the time he had made incense, it was noon, and the funeral was about to begin.
The following process is similar to other places, but since Qiao Fei has no heirs, the role of filial piety is filled by the new master.
Bai Boju saw Shen Xiangzhi, the new master of the Thorn Gate, from a distance.
Shen Xiangzhi was wearing a plain white filial piety robe, she knelt in front of the mourning hall, there was no expression on her face, and she didn't seem to be particularly sad.
By noon, the three-way drum sounded and the spirits began to rise. The large army that came to the funeral followed the people of the Thorn Gate all the way to the back mountain, the coffin was buried, and everyone returned to the Thorn Gate.
On the main square, the people of the Thorn Gate had already set up a high platform, and Shen Xiangzhi slowly walked up. As she settled on the high platform, the otherwise noisy crowd fell silent.
Shen Xiangzhi clenched his fists in all directions and said: "The old master has passed away, thanks to your love, come to see the old master on his last journey." The little woman Xiangzhi thanked you on behalf of the old master. ”
After speaking, he bowed deeply. Bai Boju is not good at pondering people, he sees people by first impression. In his eyes, Shen Xiangzhi is a beautiful person, she is not a lady like her sister, nor is she a natural beauty like Li Fenglan, who is she like? She was not like anyone, or rather, she was not like a woman, but she was not like a man either.
For most men, a pretty woman can make them interested. But Shen Xiangzhi is different, she is beautiful, but no one dares to take the initiative to like her, she is too cold and arrogant, and she carries the coercion of superiors everywhere. Even if it is the first time I see her, I can see the coldness and cruelty that she hides deep in her eyes and does not want to be seen.
Shen Xiangzhi said a lot of words, followed by a sentence "Please go to the back hall for dinner." "Finally finished the speech.
Bai Boju felt bored, originally the original plan to come to mourn this time was Bai Zhonglian, and Bai Zhonglian was more suitable for this kind of social occasion. It happened that Li Fenglan and his entourage arrived in Luoyang, and there was something to talk about at home, so they had to send him, an idler, to attend the funeral.
There were not many people who came to the back hall to eat, and some of them wanted to meet the new master of the Thorn Gate, but when they learned that the owner of the door was not seeing guests today, they all had to leave in a huff. Bai Boju also wanted to leave, but was stopped by a middle-aged man with a lupine scarf.
"Childe is Bai Boju?" The middle-aged man was smiling.
"It's the junior."
The middle-aged man arched his hand and said, "Master of the Lower Thorn Sect, Feng Yao." ”
Feng Yao is still very famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is the one who mainly gives advice in the Thorn Gate. When Qiao Fei was seriously ill, he was also taking care of the thorn gate.
"I've seen Old Elder Feng."
Feng Yao lowered his voice: "Master Bai, you can go to the back hall to eat first." ”
"There are still some things to deal with at home, so I won't bother."
"Don't worry," Feng Yao grabbed Bai Boju, "The master of my family, I have something to discuss with the eldest prince." ”
…
After rushing to the road early in the morning, Li Fenglan and his party finally arrived at the White Eagle Villa.
White Eagle Villa is located at the foot of Eagle's Beak Mountain, there is no home within a radius of more than ten miles, and the environment is very quiet. From a distance, there is only one mountain villa in the col of Nuoda.
Zhu Mingyu went to call the door, smashed the knocker a few times, the door opened, and a small guy poked his head out.
"May I ask you all to find ......" Speaking of this, seeing Zhu Mingyu's face clearly, the little guy closed the door with a "bang", and shouted inside the door: "Daoist Zhu!" My aunt said it! No money! ”
Zhu Mingyu was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, and there were three outsiders behind him, which was too embarrassing.
Zhu Mingyu said patiently: "No...... I'm not here to ask for money. ”
"Nothing else!"
"You kid...... You let my senior brother come out. ”
"Uncle said he wasn't at home!"
"I said," Zhu Mingyu was a little angry, "You owe a cigarette, don't you?" Believe it or not, Lord smashed the door of your house! ”
"Don't!" Another man's voice came from inside the door, "Old Seven, don't slam the door!" There's something to discuss! This door was just painted last month! ”
The door opened again, but only a crack. A round-faced man, who looked to be in his thirties, had an awkward smile on his face.
"Oh, this isn't the old seven."
Zhu Mingyu smiled and said, "Third Senior Brother, don't come unharmed." ”
"Unharmed, unharmed. I said, Old Seven, why do you have time to come here? ”
"Senior brother, there's nothing to ask you for."
"Hey, look at you, aren't you still here to ask for money?"
"It's really not asking for money this time, you believe me."
"Senior brother, can senior brother believe you? But the senior brother has one thing to say, he really has no money, and nothing else. ”
"Senior brother, this is not interesting enough, we have a friendship, I slept on a big kang when I was a child, junior brother, I came to find you, don't you say let you in, this door is only open one crack?"
"Your senior brother and I are magnificent, and you don't know it. How many times did your brother buy you candy when you were a child, right? It's not that my senior brother won't let you in, your sister-in-law...... You know, women are careful......"
"Dead fat man said who is careful?!" Another crackling female voice came from inside the door, followed by the sound of stormy footsteps, and after a while, the door was pulled open from the inside.
