Chapter 56: Farewell
When Zhu Mingyu returned to the small courtyard, Li Fenglan was calculating something with an abacus, and when she saw Zhu Mingyu coming in, she asked, "Daoist Zhu, where is the master of the Shen Sect?"
"It's too late, the Shen Sect Master has already left."
Li Fenglan frowned: "So fast? Forget it, let's go, I want to discuss my next move with her."
The others were also in the house, but Li Fenglan was serious, and everyone didn't speak. After a while, Li Fenglan finished calculating something, only to see her brows furrowed, as if she had encountered some problem.
Emerald asked, "What are you counting?"
"Oh...... Nothing." Li Fenglan was sloppy.
Amber was feeding Jade to drink water - after fighting with Shen Xiangzhi, Jade was shaking so hard that she couldn't hold the teacup at all. Zhu Mingyu looked at Jade's slightly trembling hands, and only felt that his spine was cold, this river and lake, there are a lot of monsters.
Jade asked, "What's next?"
"Wait."
There are two reasons for this "wait", first, she needs to let the people of the rivers and lakes know that she is not well, and it is better to stay for a few days. Second, I haven't seen anyone I want to see yet.
Li Fenglan put the snow lotus in a different box and said to Morning Mist, "You let Twilight Cloud come out."
Morning Mist pouted, but did as it should.
After Twilight came out, Li Fenglan handed him the box and said, "Twilight, you give Snow Lotus to Xu Qingchen."
Twilight nodded and led Snow Lotus out of the house.
Then Li Fenglan asked Zhu Mingyu: "Daoist Zhu, do you know the 'Gong Lose Clan?'
Zhu Mingyu replied, "I know, it's just a group of craftsmen, who often help some martial arts sects build sect buildings, build secret rooms or something. Of course, the main thing is to repair the secret room. Their door rules are similar to those of Night Feather Kozuki, and they never divulge their employer's secrets. How? What does Miss Li want to fix with them?"
Li Fenglan nodded, "I'm going to repair some hiding places in case I need them."
Zhu Mingyu quipped, "This is like your style of Changfeng Building."
"Daoist Zhu, can you find them?"
Zhu Mingyu took out the map, spread it out and looked at it, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is a Peach Blossom Town fifty miles away from here, and there are people from the Gongyi clan there. You just did the calculation, you weren't calculating how much it would cost, right? The fees are very high."
"Hey...... That's why I have a headache. Now it's only two thousand taels when it's full, and there will be a lot of people in the idler's hall in the future, so we have to find a way to make money."
Amber said, "We can keep grabbing it!"
Li Fenglan said speechlessly: "It's enough to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger once, and if you knock too much, the tiger will really come out."
Zhu Mingyu had a flash of inspiration and said, "You can borrow it from the God of Wealth, don't you want to find him?"
"I borrowed money from him, how can I put forward the conditions?"
Zhu Mingyu shrugged: "Threaten him, if he doesn't say it, he won't pay it back."
Li Fenglan held her forehead and said in her heart: Zhu Mingyu even thinks on par with Amber.
"Daoist Zhu, have you seen Qian Wei's competition?"
Zhu Mingyu thought for a moment and replied, "I didn't pay much attention to it."
"Yes, I didn't notice either, it's not that we're careless, it's that they're deliberately making their presence less visible. This gang of money guards is a trouble, and the assassination methods are no worse than those of Night Feather Xiaozhu. Jin Caishen relies on money to eat, and if he didn't have the ability to ask for debts, especially in the business of Jianghu people, he would have died twenty years ago."
Li Fenglan leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes and said, "I hope she has money."
Jade asked, "Who?"
Li Fenglan did not answer.
…
Twilight found Xu Qingchen, and at this time, Xu Qingchen and Zhang Yuan were packing their things. Seeing Twilight Cloud coming, Xu Qingchen hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Twilight."
Twilight didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the box and handed it to Xu Qingchen, saying, "Brother Xu, Snow Lotus is inside."
Zhang Yuan and his wife were shocked when they heard this.
Xu Qingchen said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. The three of you take the snow lotus and please leave quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble to Miss Li. I would also like to ask Brother Twilight to help me convey a word."
"Please."
"There is no way to repay the great kindness, and in the future, it will be useful to get my Xu Qingchen, just open your mouth."
Twilight smiled and said, "Miss Li has a lot of ideas, but she doesn't embarrass others. Still, I'll bring it to you."
"I'm tired."
Twilight turned to go out, but after taking two steps, she suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother Xu, can you see what internal skills I practiced?"
Xu Qingchen shook his head: "I can't see it, but I can see your moves."
Twilight nodded, not saying anything more.
In the house, Xu Qingchen handed the snow lotus to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan couldn't wait to open the box, and the moment he saw the snow lotus, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Really! Brother Qingchen, how did you do that?"
Xu Qingchen smiled and replied, "Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't talk about it...... Rather, it involves the Changfeng Tower and the Thorn Gate. If you two don't get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you can easily get into trouble if you know it."
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "I have received my kindness...... The bride price can be waived."
Xu Qingchen said with a smile, "Let's quickly pack up our things and leave."
The three of them quickly packed their luggage and left the Medicine Immortal Valley before noon. Just out of the valley less than half an hour away, Zhang Yuan stopped the carriage.
Xu Qingchen asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yuan said to Xu Qingchen, "Brother Qingchen, you are going to the Thorn Gate, right?"
Xu Qingchen nodded and asked, "What about the eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
"We are going back to Yangzhou, and we still have some things to deal with at home."
Xu Qingchen looked around and said, "Then I'll send you back to Yangzhou."
Jin Huayan lifted the curtain and said, "Qingchen, you don't need to send it, you have to say goodbye in the end." My husband and I will travel all over the world, you are different, you still have things to do."
Xu Qingchen scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm ...... I haven't repaid the favor yet."
Zhang Yuan patted the wooden box with snow lotus on his waist, and said with a smile, "You have already reported."
Jin Huayan said, "You are a good boy, I also thought about it with your brother Zhang, take you back to Yangzhou and introduce you to Ayahan. I still have some property at home, so it will not be a problem to live a stable life."
Xu Qingchen smiled bitterly and said, "I may not have a stable life in the past few years...... In that case."
Xu Qingchen jumped off the horse, knelt down in front of the carriage, the couple were startled, and Zhang Yuan hurriedly jumped off the carriage to support him.
"Brother Light Dust! I can't do it!"
Ignoring Zhang Yuan's dissuasion, Xu Qingchen knocked his head down and said, "My life was saved by the two of you, Boss Yao, Young Master Yao, and the rest of the Yao family, their revenge is still waiting for me to avenge. If it weren't for the two of you, the Yao family would have died in vain."
Zhang Yuan was still trying to help Xu Qingchen up: "Brother Qingchen, what you said, we are also a gesture, but we can't help it, stand up quickly."
Xu Qingchen's eyes flashed with tears, and he said, "It was originally a meeting in Pingshui, and the virtuous couple had the hearts of the Bodhisattva...... If Qingchen gets revenge and lives alive, I will protect your whole family for the rest of my life. If I don't live, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will repay the kindness."
Saying that, he knocked his head down again, Zhang Yuan is a rough man, he is obedient and can't speak. However, Xu Qingchen's temperament and personality have an appetite for himself, and the bearded man is hot-blooded, so he simply kneels down in his robe.
Xu Qingchen hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang! I can't do it!"
Zhang Yuan stopped Xu Qingchen and said, "Stop, Qingchen, don't stop me. You're good, I recognize you as a brother. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about we get married to Jin Lan today?"
Xu Qingchen held back tears from his eyes, showed a sincere smile on his face, and said loudly, "Okay!"
Saying that he was about to kowtow again, Zhang Yuan stopped him and said, "But let's talk about it first, after the bow, you are not allowed to mention anything that does not repay the gratitude. That's it." After speaking, Zhang Yuan knocked his head down first
, blocking Xu Qingchen's mouth. Xu Qingchen also hurriedly knocked down.
Jin Huayan looked at these two people in the carriage, and couldn't help laughing, the two big men are now like two children.
After snorting, the two of them officially became brothers with different surnames.
Xu Qingchen said, "Big brother!"
Zhang Yuan helped Xu Qingchen to stand up, and replied with a smile, "Brother!"
Zhang Yuan patted Xu Qingchen's shoulder and said with a smile: "Cheng, Cheng, my brother is a talent, Cheng, worthy of Ayahan."
Xu Qingchen said, "Big brother, it's still early, so you two should hurry as soon as possible. Later, when you have time, you can come to see me at the Thorn Gate."
Jin Huayan smiled and said, "You two are okay, don't be polite. Qingchen, if you have time, you can come to Yangzhou to see the two of us, my body is not good, and I may not go far in the future."
Zhang Yuan looked back at his daughter-in-law and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that you would go and see everywhere at the beginning? Not going?"
Jin Huayan shook her head: "Don't go, blame you."
Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands happily: "Okay! Let's go back to Yangzhou! Go back to Yangzhou!"
As he spoke, he jumped into the carriage and said to Xu Qingchen, "Brother, the green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever!"
Xu Qingchen clenched his fists and said, "Big brother! Be careful on the road."
The three of them parted until the carriage completely disappeared from sight, Xu Qingchen jumped on the horse, he patted his face, and said secretly, "Xu Qingchen, what you owe to others must be repaid."
…
Li Fenglan's health has improved a lot, and Dr. Xiaoya came in the afternoon, saying that she is no longer in serious trouble, and took some pills for her, and asked her to take three pills a day, and she will be fine after half a month. Li Fenglan found Han Liang again and asked him if he could cure Duyun's brain, and Han Liang could only helplessly say after reading it: "I can't cure him, I can only wait for him to get better."
After that, Li Fenglan and his party stayed in the Medicine Immortal Valley for a few days with nothing to do.
In the past few days, the Bai family has sent some information, and everyone in Chaolan Valley has also sent greetings when they know about Li Fenglan's injury.
Li Fenglan sat alone in the courtyard, waiting very impatiently, and read the basic Jianghu script at hand several times.
Jade didn't know where to come back, and when she saw Li Fenglan flipping through a book boringly, she asked, "How many times have you read it?" Isn't that interesting?"
Li Fenglan pouted and said, "What should I do then? Who knew that it was so boring in the Valley of Medicine Immortals, I have read this "Legend of the Strange Heroes" three times...... This is still the first volume, and I don't know where to buy the next volume."
Jade took the book and flipped through it, and said, "Did you bring this book out of the valley?"
"yes, I haven't seen it."
Jade looked at the yellowed pages and loose threads and said, "I've seen it before, and it really doesn't seem to be in the valley."
Li Fenglan said, "I don't know what happened to the strange man and the lotus girl, whether they were together."
At this time, just after the afternoon, Zhu Mingyu, who had just finished taking a nap, had just pushed the door out, and after stretching his waist, he heard the conversation between the two girls, and he said with a smile, "Finally, the lotus picker died."
Li Fenglan and Jade turned their heads sharply and stared at him deadly.
The eyes of the two made Zhu Mingyu's heart furious, and he said cautiously, "It's true, it's really dead...... In order to avenge the lotus girl, the strange man single-handedly entered the Demon Sect, and was seriously injured in the end, and his martial arts were all wasted. The book says that after he recovered from his injuries, he went to the Western Regions...... And that King of Jinpeng, he is not the father of the strange man, and he has been lying to him before......
The eyes of the two girls became even more fierce.
Zhu Mingyu hurriedly said, "The ending of the Red Dust Woman is good! Finally revenge! I also wandered the world with the Wild Swordsman! Really!"
Li Fenglan gritted her teeth and said, "Who told you to say it?"
"Huh?"
Jade took a deep breath and said, "You are a nasty like this, you know?"
