After returning from Luzhou, Bai Shuyu has been in a state of long-term low-brow and scorn, very no human rights, he rarely speaks when the big guy is together, and he doesn't dare to refute a few words by Li Fenglan, in short, it's quite pitiful.

The Bai family siblings didn't know Bai Shuyu's plan at that time, so they all wondered: Why was their third brother so seriously injured on his face?

Zhu Mingyu and Amber didn't know about Bai Shuyu, but they didn't understand his low voice during this time.

Bai Shuyu still followed the team and followed everyone to Chaolan Valley.

When passing by Nianzi Mountain, Fu Xiaohu, Tan Wushuang and a group of young people from Chaolan Valley walked with them. It's just that there is an extra girl in this group of people who are not familiar with Li Fenglan and they are not very familiar with.

Jade whispered to Li Fenglan, "Who is that girl?"

Li Fenglan thought for a while: "I seemed to have seen it when I went to Nianzi Mountain last year, and it seems that it was called Wang Xiaofu."

"What is Xiaohu doing with others?"

Li Fenglan smiled maliciously: "It can't be his future daughter-in-law, right?"

"I can't tell."

Li Fenglan looked at Bai Shuyu who was following them, and asked Jade worriedly, "Aren't you afraid that he will be killed?" The damage on his face wasn't all."

"He made his own choice, and he deserved to be killed."

Jade glanced at the people on Fu Xiaohu's side again and asked, "How many people are missing?"

"They went to Qingzhou with the Ninth Master, and they probably won't be back in the valley this year."

"Mu Zi's side...... What are you going to do?"

Li Fenglan's face was a little heavy: "Mu Zi's killing karma has been too heavy over the years, I have read the information given to me by the Bai family, and I am afraid that the grievances on her body will not be eliminated in a year and a half. Everyone who has a grudge against her is a blood feud, and we should really help her, but Yu Li...... It's hard to say. Let's take one step at a time."

…

After a day's journey, everyone finally arrived at Chaolan Valley.

After entering the valley, Li Fenglan and Jade were a little emotional, in the blink of an eye, it had been a year and a half since they came out of the valley, but fortunately, Chaolan Valley had not changed much.

The children who used to shout that they were going to get out of the valley are now more homesick than the other, and as soon as they enter the valley, they can't wait to ride their horses and gallop wildly. The old people in the valley received the news of their return and waited outside the gathering area early. Seeing the safe return of their children, these heroes who were famous twenty years ago are distressed and other emotions are indescribable.

To Li Fenglan's surprise, Li Yuzhuo was also in Chaolan Valley. After the First World War in Luzhou, Li Yuzhuo suddenly disappeared, and he didn't even contact his old friends during this period. I thought that she would wander the rivers and lakes alone like before, but who knew that she would return to Chaolan Valley.

"Mother!" Li Fenglan shouted, jumped off the horse, and threw herself into Chen Tong's arms.

Chen Tong looked at his three daughters with loving eyes, and said softly, "You can be considered back, the room is all cleaned up for you, the carriage is tired, go and rest."

Zhou Xiao smiled and said to Zhu Mingyu and them, "I have also arranged a place for you to live, come with me."

The son-in-law of the Sword Immortal family left with Zhou Xiao. Bai Shuyu has been keeping his head down and silent since he entered the valley.

Zhu Mingyu glanced at him and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?" It's like who owes money."

Bai Shuyu didn't dare to raise his head, and asked in a low voice, "Is anyone staring at me?"

"Nope. What are you afraid of? Are you really afraid of being beaten? It's okay, it's not me and Twilight."

Zhu Mingyu was talking, when he suddenly heard a man not far away laughing and saying, "Isn't this the third prince of Bai? Don't come unharmed."

Bai Shuyu looked up and saw Zhao Shunlai standing not far away looking at him with bad intentions, followed by several young people who also did not doubt good intentions.

Bai Shuyu smiled awkwardly: "Brother Zhao, don't come unharmed."

Zhou Xiao said to Zhao Shun, "That's right, come by the way, you take them to the place where they live, I have other things to do."

After Zhou Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left. Bai Shuyu felt that Zhou Xiao must have done it on purpose, he just wanted to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Looking at Zhao Shunlai, who was walking towards them with a sinister smile on his face, Han Lu frowned and said to Zhu Mingyu, "Brother Zhu...... There are a lot of people, and we may not be able to beat them."

Zhu Mingyu nodded, and patted Bai Shuyu's shoulder again: "Brother-in-law, you ask for more blessings."

…

After Li Yuzhuo arrived in Chaolan Valley, he stayed at Chen Tong's house, which made the big guy very puzzled. In the past, the two of them were very incompatible, why haven't they seen each other for 20 years, and they are like sisters?

In fact, everyone thinks too much, Chen Tong ignores Li Yuzhuo, and Li Yuzhuo has always pestered her unilaterally.

Several people walked in the direction of Chen Tong's house, Li Fenglan and Amber followed Chen Tong left and right, the two of them seemed to have returned to their childhood, and they kept talking about what they saw during this time. Jade walked silently beside Li Yuzhuo.

Li Yuzhuo opened his mouth and said to Jade, "Jade, I'm sorry."

Emerald shook her head, "I don't blame you."

Li Yuzhuo smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't know that you were her daughter at first, and that time you were poisoned, and I found out something was wrong as soon as I entered the inn. Feng Lan looked exactly like Chen Tong, and I was thinking at that time, since she was a fake, who was really her? I looked at you carefully that night when I was helping you to heal your wounds, and I noticed that your eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to her, and I was sure then."

Jade was silent for a moment and asked, "Auntie, my mother, she ...... Forget it."

Li Yuzhuo chuckled: "It's okay, if you want to ask, you can always come and ask me, I will live in Chaolan Valley for a while."

Jade wondered, "Stay for a while? You're still leaving?"

"Yes...... I'm not used to being in one place for too long."

The once pure Asarashi Valley has become extremely lively.

At night, Mo Changfeng couldn't wait for the arrival of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and directly threw a banquet, and everyone celebrated.

During the banquet, Hanlu was happy, and although Hanlu was the first time to come to Chaolan Valley, he also mingled with the young people.

The only difference is Bai Shuyu, people keep coming to drink with him, and in less than half an hour after the banquet was held, he was already drunk and unconscious. The group of jade suitors were still angry, so they woke him up and poured him again.

The hall was still very lively, and the cold dew was too strong to drink, so he secretly ran out to hide from the wine. was looking at the night in the valley in a daze, and suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw Li Fenglan looking at her with a smile. Li Fenglan's cheeks were red, thinking that she had drunk some wine.

Li Fenglan asked, "Why did you come out alone?"

"I can't drink anymore, I'm afraid that they will be poured like Bai Shuyu...... You've been drinking a lot, and you poured three glasses last year."

Li Fenglan stretched, pulled Han Lu to sit down on the steps, and said with a smile, "I can drink six cups now."

Hanlu looked around and sighed, "This is where you grew up."

"yes, is it pretty?"

"Well...... It's not as beautiful as I imagined, I always thought it was beautiful."

Li Fenglan actually drank more than a dozen glasses, and now she can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, she leaned on Han Lu's shoulder, yawned and closed her eyes, and it didn't take much effort to let out a slight snoring sound.

Zhou Xiao walked from behind the two, and after Han Lu saw Zhou Xiao, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Week...... Uncle...... She drank too much."

Zhou Xiao smiled and nodded: "It's okay, it's okay to drink once in a while, anyway, it's in the valley." She's been tense for more than a year, and she's finally able to relax."

After Zhou Xiao finished speaking, she walked over and picked up Li Fenglan: "It's cold, don't freeze."

Holding her daughter and walking towards herself, after taking two steps, Zhou Xiao turned to look at Han Lu, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you stunned? My house is quite far from here, and I can't hold this far with my old arms and legs."

Hanlu hurriedly stood up and followed.

…

Approaching the New Year, the Thorn Gate is also very lively.

Luzhou won a complete victory in the first battle, which raised the status of Thorn Gate in the rivers and lakes to a new level. Shen Xiangzhi made people buy a lot

Treat your men to drinks.

Unlike the bustle in the door, Ayahan's room was much more deserted.

After she became pregnant, Shen Xiangzhi did not let her be in charge of the affairs of the hall. Now that Xu Qingchen is not here, he will hand it over to others to take care of first.

During this time, she lived alone, thinking about Xu Qingchen in her heart, and she didn't think about tea and food.

Leaning on the desk, he gently patted his little belly, which was not yet bulging, and muttered silently in his heart, "You must come back safely."

Yang Fan's situation was even worse, after returning from Luzhou, he was bedridden, and there were several fires in the house, and the temperature was so high that people were on fire. Although he used the best medicine and the best doctor, Yang Fan still couldn't get out of bed, and only a few hours a day were awake.

He slowly sat up under Xiong San's support, coughed twice, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xiong San patted him on the back: "Yang Dashao, let's go home after the New Year, it's too cold on the mountain."

Yang Fan smiled, shook his head and said, "No, there is no one at home...... I'll stay in the mountains."

Xiong San was a little embarrassed: "I told Qingchen that day, let him not look for that cheat, now Ayahan is pregnant with a child, and it is the New Year...... Hey......"

"I'm Yang Fan...... It's good luck, even if it's so unbearable, it's still missed."

"Okay, you don't have to say a word, drink the medicine and continue to lie down."

"Third brother...... Yang Fan raised his head, "The brothers outside are so lively, why don't you accompany them?"

"I'm afraid something will happen to you, don't talk about this, drink the medicine quickly."

…

In the depths of Taihang Mountain, a young man in tattered clothes walked on the rugged mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

His face and hands were covered in mud, his hair was messy, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He is Xu Qingchen, who came to Taiyuan from Luzhou, slept in the open all the way, and searched in the Taihang Mountains for several days, the whole person seemed to be fished out of the pit, and the moon-white clothes on his body had long been unable to see the color.

Although there is a map to guide you, it is difficult to find the marker point in the vast Taihang Mountain. The dry food on my body was eaten yesterday, and it will take at least two days to walk from here down the mountain to the inhabited village. At the end of the year, it was freezing and snowy, and even if he found a place now, he would have to lose half his life if he wanted to go down the mountain.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and he finally found the entrance to the cave next to an extremely hidden gravel beach. He made a simple torch and went into the cave without even thinking about it.

It was cold and damp in the cave, and it took me more than half an hour to get out of the winding tunnel and into an open field.

Suddenly, he saw a figure in front of him, who was sitting upright, seemingly with his back to him.

He asked, "Who's there?"

No one answered, and he had the courage to take a closer look, this back was too familiar to him, it was the master.

Xu Qingchen hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Master!"

The old man didn't respond, Xu Qingchen felt a little strange, walked over with a torch, and when he saw the master's face, he found that the old man was dead, his skin had turned gray-white, and it seemed that he had been dead for a few days.

Although the master and apprentice had a very unpleasant quarrel before, but they had the grace of nurturing, Xu Qingchen couldn't help but burst into tears, kneeling in front of the old man's body and crying.

After crying for a long time, Xu Qingchen raised his head to look at his master, only to find that the master did not die of natural causes, and there was black blood flowing out of his facial features, which was very abnormal, like he had died of poisoning.

Xu Qingchen thought to himself: Master should not have arrived a few days earlier than himself, who poisoned Master?

Xu Qingchen, who was hungry and sleepy, couldn't think about this, and wanted to lay the master's body flat, but the old man's body was already stiff, and his joints couldn't move at all, so he had to let the old man sit here cross-legged.

He continued to walk deeper into the cave and finally found Master's "Scripture Pavilion". A dazzling array of various cheats were placed in front of him, including paper books and bamboo slips. There are daily necessities such as stoves and firewood not far from the cheats, and it seems that the master often lives here.

There are too many cheats, and it is so difficult to find "Great Health Maintenance" in a while, so he had no choice but to check the stove first to see if there was one

Food.

As he expected, Master really put some rice, flour, grain and oil here, which was enough for him to live for at least four or five days.

The stove was lit, and the cave finally got some warmth.

After that, he went outside to carry the Master's body out of the cave and collected a lot of firewood from the mountain. He originally wanted to dig a grave and bury his master, but the ground was freezing and he couldn't dig up the soil at all, so he had to burn the master to ashes first, and then bury the master when he had the opportunity in the future.

Looking at the sky-high fire, and the master who gradually turned into ashes in the fire, Xu Qingchen's fatigue finally came up, and he sat down on the ground, almost fainting.
