"Qiang—"

A loud eagle cries through the night sky, and a peerless fiery horse rushes out from under the majestic city wall and gallops towards the northwest land.

Hoofs hooves dack......

The night terror hall horse hangs the dragon on the side, the sun is chasing the sun, the dragon knife is horizontal behind the waist, the black cloak is waving in the night wind, and the tall horse is equipped with a strong body, which makes the big stupid and stupid physique, all showing a bit of a small bird's feeling.

Dongfang was still sad and sad at dusk, and was suddenly pulled out and embarked on a long journey, and he didn't react a little, but he was very well prepared.

Dongfang is far away from people, and he will definitely not be the same as his sister, so he wears a single skirt, and he doesn't wear trousers, and his body is wrapped very tightly, and the fat-headed dragon python robe is replaced by a slim black dress for a night terror couple, with the same water cloud brocade texture, even the pattern is the same, and the slits on both sides of the skirt are convenient for riding.

The original jade crown of the bun was only tied up with a black hairband, clean and simple and heroic, with a short-bladed flying knife hanging on the belt, a dagger in the boots, and a weapon in the bracers, and two famous soldiers in the collection to hang on the side of the horse......

Although it is a bit bad to have a lot of stationery, just looking at the appearance, it does look like a peerless female master who is deeply hidden.

At this time, Dongfang Liren was sitting in front of the saddle, his back was straight and he didn't lean on the night terror, but he was holding the sword engraved with the five thunder talismans, looking carefully in his hand, and said thoughtfully:

"The talisman engraved on the scabbard is the Daomen Five Thunder Talisman, which has the effect of slashing demons and driving away evil spirits, if this king is not mistaken, this sword should have a relationship with Daomen......"

"This scabbard was made by Fairy Lu, and it was originally a bare sword strip."

“……”

Dongfang Liren blinked, and gently smacked the night terror with his elbow, which means - didn't you say it earlier? The king of harm has been studying for a long time......

The night terror hall was full of smiles, with a big stupidity, naturally there was no need to be as restrained as with Yuhu, seeing that he had already left the city, and there were no pedestrians on the official road, he leaned forward, wrapped his hands around the willow waist, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

？

Dongfang Liren straightened his chest slightly, his face suddenly changed a little, and he held the hilt of the sword and said:

"Night Terror, you're presumptuous again, aren't you?"

Listening to the cold royal sister's voice, the night terror hall was not afraid at all, and coaxed:

"It's a long way, rely on me to be comfortable."

“……”

Dongfang Liren naturally knows that she is more comfortable, but she doesn't rely on this color embryo to get started, and she can't touch Longlong if she relies on it?

She wanted to warn two more words, but suddenly remembered something, and tilted her head slightly:

"Night Terror, you and Yuhu came back, and you hugged her like this?"

Night Terror Hall has a clear conscience about this, and said seriously:

"How is it possible, I sit in the back and don't dare to move, I don't believe that you can ask the bird."

Dongfang Liren knows his sister's temperament, he wants to take advantage, and he is also his sister's light brother-in-law, where did he bully his sister in the night terror hall, and he said more at the moment, and asked instead:

"When I was celebrating the New Year, I went to Tianshuiqiao's new house to take a look, helped clean up the house, and found that there was a red handkerchief in the drawer at your bedside......"

Night Terror thought about it for a moment, and then remembered, and explained:

"Last summer, when I first went into the palace to inspect, I happened to meet Yuhu, she asked me to help find a Pisces pendant, so I went to Canyang Pond and then ......"

“……”

Dongfang Liren naturally knew what happened then - she was tricked into going to Canyang Pool, stripped naked and plunged into the water, giving Night Terror Hall a meat bullet impact, and finally pressed on Night Terror Hall's face......

It's been a long time since the incident, but in retrospect, Dongfang Liren still feels red-faced, and he slammed his shoulder, signaling the Night Terror Hall not to go on, and went straight to the point:

"What does this have to do with handkerchiefs?"

"I came out of the bath, like a chicken in the soup, Yuhu gave me a handkerchief, asked me to wipe my face, and then she left, I thought I couldn't find anyone, so I put it at home and forgot about it......"

Dongfang Liren thought about it a little, but he couldn't find fault with it, and was about to continue chatting, when he suddenly found that the bird that was thrown into the air to exercise and lose weight fell from the night sky, stopped on the shoulder of the night terror, and looked left and right, which should mean - what chicken soup? Where is chicken soup......

Dongfang Liren could understand the meaning, raised his hand and rubbed it on his head:

"It's soup chicken. What do you know besides eating? ”

"Tsk."

The bird tilted his head to look at the water bladder, signaling that he still knew how to drink.

Night Terror Hall was amused, took out a piece of jerky, let the bird eat it by himself, and then hugged the stupid, and experienced the warmth of the night breeze blowing on his face.

Dongfang Liren was forced to lean in his arms, and after a moment of galloping, his body gradually relaxed, because the night was already dark, and regular work and rest had become a habit over the years, and he slowly closed his eyes again.

Seeing that the clumsy was asleep, the night terror did not move his hands and feet again, but just supported the weight with his hands, and his cheeks were against the bun, so that she could lean more comfortably.

Hoof, hoof......

The two of them galloped northwest and soon disappeared into the night outside Yun'an City......

——

From Yun'an back to Honghe Town, the distance is quite far, and the last time I came with a team of dart masters, I walked for more than 20 days.

And the fierce horse under the crotch is indeed worthy of the name of the god horse, traveling thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred nights, the key recovery is extremely fast, and there is no need to stay too long to rest and replenish halfway.

Night Terror galloped with a clumsy Pegasus, and in just a few days, it passed through Sanhe Town, Pass, Wasteland, and the Barren Bone Beach in Liangzhou.

Dongfang Liren still maintained the calmness that the queen should have at first, but she didn't have the exaggerated physique of Yuhu after all, she was bumpy on the horse for a long time, and gradually became tired, and she didn't mind the night terror hall.

Night Terror Hall was very distressed when he saw that Ben Ben was working so hard, but walking the rivers and lakes was like this, there were very few occasions for happiness and revenge, and most of the time he ate dirt on the road.

Fortunately, the stupid princess is not a delicate princess who can't endure hardships, and she didn't complain on the way, and even had a little fun.

Every time I stayed in the wilderness, Clumsy volunteered to go up to the campfire to cook and so on, although the occasional roast rabbit and grilled fish looked like they had just crawled out of the burning hell, and the birds didn't dare to put their mouths down, but Night Terror Hall still ate very happily.

When the two of them crossed the barren bone beach, they arrived at the Liangzhou Biansai, and the time also came to the tenth day of the first month.

Seeing that he had returned to the familiar barren land of the border pass, Night Terror Hall was also relieved, looked down, and fell asleep in his arms again, so he raised his hand and shook the fat-headed dragon:

"Your Highness?"

"Hmmm......"

Dongfang was a little sleepy after a long journey, and after being woken up, he first grabbed the hand of the night terror hall and pinched it, and then looked at the surroundings with sleepy eyes.

At this time, it has reached the bank of the Red River, in the first month, the ice and snow in the north have not yet been civilized, and the surrounding area is still a snow field, and even the original Red River is buried under the ice and snow, and only the outline of the ancient river can be seen.

At dusk, the setting sun shone over the snow-white earth, and at the end of the field of vision, a small town could be seen with a little smoke rising, and there seemed to be a figure walking in the town.

The road under your feet is full of traces of wheels and horses' hooves, and it seems that there are quite a few people coming and going.

Dongfang Liren wrapped his clothes tightly, looked left and right slightly, and frowned:

"The last time I came, the caravans all went to Heishi Pass from the official road, and rarely turned around the town; In winter, the road is closed by heavy snow, and there should not be many people moving around, why are there so many people coming and going? ”

Night Terror Hall grew up in Honghe Town since he was a child, and knew that no one went in and out of Honghe Town after winter, and he also had some doubts in his heart when he saw this scene, and when he walked near the town, he helped Ben Ben to dismount, put a thick cloak on her shoulder, and walked back to the town together:

"Let's go take a look."

The bird returned to his hometown and was obviously excited, flying in front, and as soon as he entered the entrance of the town, he landed on a bare tree branch, greeting people, and a loud voice also sounded from the town:

"Yo?! How did you fly back? Is the young owner coming? ”

"Twitter ......"

Night Terror Hall was stunned when he heard the voice, and then his eyes swelled with joy, and he walked quickly towards the entrance of the town, and called out from afar:

"Uncle Song!"

In previous years, there were not too many people in Honghe Town, even during the Chinese New Year, and after the Night Terror Hall left with dozens of people, it was basically about to become a ghost town.

But now it is different, there are many shops on the streets in the center of the town, and you can see people walking here and there, and you can even see the floor shops under some eaves.

Song Chi, the second master of Honghualou, sat outside the original school, with a brazier and a sign next to him, which read: 'Recruitment', and two apprentices with good stature behind him, standing behind his hands to support the scene.

The last time Song Chi came to Liangzhou, after seeing the lower limit of the heroes of Liangzhou, he went back to Tiannan angrily, called a wave of apprentices to come over, and re-established the hall here, and the temporary base was naturally the Glacier Dart Bureau bought by Shui'er.

Hearing the sound of night terror, Song Chi hurriedly got up, walked quickly to the entrance of the town and beckoned:

"Isn't the young owner in Jiangzhou? Why did you come here all of a sudden? What about Yuan Qing? ”

"Uncle Chen brought someone over by boat, walked slowly, and is still on the way."

Night Terror Hall entered the town with stupidity, and when he saw so many people on the street, he was very surprised, and first came to sit down by the brazier outside the school with Song Chi, and then asked:

"Why are there so many people in town?"

The last time Song Chi came to Honghe Town, he had seen King Jing, and he could recognize who the woman in black who was following him was, so he hurriedly asked his apprentice to bring a chair, invited King Jing to sit, and then brought a kettle:

"Aren't the snow lake flowers blooming, these are the people of the rivers and lakes who went to try their luck outside the gates. Several towns near Heishiguan are overcrowded, and people from the rivers and lakes settle in these places, selling news and trading or something...... Come on, drink a cup of hot water to warm up first......"

Dongfang Liren sat down in a chair, holding a cup of hot water, and looked around the town a few times:

"They're all going to grab the snow lake flowers?"

Song Chi sat down on the bench, shook his head and said:

"Just this group of miscellaneous fish in the rivers and lakes, where they can grab the snow lake flowers, they are all here to pan for gold. Thousands of miles around Tianlang Lake, there are always a few wild snow lake flowers, as long as you find one, you can sell it at a sky-high price, I also collected one in the past few days, and spent more than 1,000 taels of silver...... Biaozi, go get the things. ”

When the Night Terror Hall and Dongfang Liren heard this, they naturally became interested, and when they raised their eyes, they saw the two apprentices running back quickly, and within a moment they brought over a carriage.

Song Chi lifted the curtain, and it could be seen that there was a large vat in the empty carriage.

The tank contained turf, and in the center was a small shrub, two feet high, with a few sparse leaves, and a small peony-like flower hanging on the side.

Although the shrub is very inconspicuous, the flowers are shaped like peonies, and more than ten petals bloom quietly, which looks extremely eye-catching.

"......"

Even if Dongfang Liren is a prince, he has only seen the snow lake flowers that have been stored for many years after drying, and the first time he saw the living one, his eyes obviously flashed with surprise, and he cautiously walked closer and looked carefully:

"How did you get this back?"

Song Chi didn't know how the group of gold-digging Jianghu people brought back such a large tank of mud from the snowfield intact, so he just said:

"There are many strange people on the rivers and lakes, and if you are lucky to find it, it is not uncommon to get one back.

"According to the old people in the past, this should be a snow lake flower that has just grown in the past Jiazi, and the rhizome has little effect on medicine, so it can not make up a pair of medicines, so it is not expensive.

"Anyway, can you bring this thing back to the Central Plains? If you can, it's not bad to send it to the young owner's house as a fortune tree......"

Being able to raise the snow lake flowers at home as a fortune tree, the emperor will feel extravagant when he sees it, but this thing obviously doesn't work.

Dongfang Liren shook his head and said: "The growth conditions of the snow lake flowers are harsh, which may be related to water and soil, and only grow around Tianlang Lake; It's a good thing that I dug it up with the mud, otherwise it would have died, and I guess I wouldn't have lived long if I put it in a flower pot. ”

Song Chi didn't study flowers and plants deeply, and naturally frowned when he heard this:

"What then? Send it back to Tianlang Lake to plant? It took three generations of Snow Lake to grow up, so that I would not be struck by lightning, and I was afraid that I would have to be poked in the backbone by future generations. ”

"If you plant it back in the wilderness, sooner or later you will have to be spoiled by other Jianghu people, raise it for a few days, and when Miss Fan comes, let her find a way to find a place to raise it......"

After carefully looking at the snow lake, the night terror hall asked Uncle Song to put it away, returned to the brazier and sat down, and asked:

"What is the current situation outside the Guan, Uncle Song has inquired?"

Song Chi sat down again and responded:

"When I heard the news of the blossoming of the snow lake, I knew that you must be coming, and I have been paying attention to it these days. Beiliang should be picking and transporting the snow lake flowers back, there have been several robberies on the side of Tianlang Lake, and it is said that someone has a car of ......"

Dongfang frowned: "A car? ”

Song Chi waved his hand and said: "A snow lake flower looks half a palm's size, and when it dries, it will cover its nails a little, I heard that it can't be stuffy, so you can only put the petals flat in a ventilated place, which will take up space." Beiliang didn't dare to put his eggs in one basket, it would be good to put one hundred and ten flowers in a car. ”

Dongfang Liren thought about it: "One hundred and ten flowers is not a small number, enough for a few medicines...... That said, it's not easy to grab it now, you have to wait for the snow lake flowers to dry, and you can take the box before you can start? ”

"Yes."

Song Chi looked left and right, and his voice was a little lowered:

"There are a lot of heroes in the rivers and lakes this time, most of them are looking for wild plants on the snow field, and some of them are not showing their heads, it is estimated that they are waiting for the snow lake flowers to dry, so that they can be packed in sacks, and they can grab enough at one time."

Night Terror Hall thought about it a little, and felt that the situation was not very anxious, so he thought about it and asked:

"Where do the snow lake flowers dry?"

"Now that the Xihai Protectorate has sealed the city, ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave, and there is no news at all. But there is no need to worry about the young owner, there are many powerful people on the rivers and lakes, as long as the snow lake flower can start, there must be someone who will be the first bird. Wait for those ruthless people to come out with sacks on their backs, and the young owner will come forward to eat black again...... No, it is collected in accordance with the law and handed over to the treasury! ”

Dongfang sat a little straighter, and the corners of his mouth were obviously hooked, obviously thinking that Song Chi was quite upright.

Night Terror Hall knows that this is a method, but black eating black is too shameless, and Jiang Zahu is here, it is impossible to grab a sack and leave, it is good to catch a handful, and black can only get some mosquito meat.

The goal of the Night Terror Hall this time is to rob the treasury of King Zuoxian, and even if the pot is gone, he must still go over in person.

After chatting with Song Chi for a while and roughly determining the situation outside the gate, Night Terror Hall felt that the situation was not urgent, so he was relieved and got up and said:

"I'll send the leaver to the dart game to rest first, and go burn some paper money for my father-in-law. Please ask Uncle Song to arrange two manpower to help me contact the spies of the Black Ya here......"

Song Chi got up and said, "I rushed here a year ago, just to burn some paper for Yuanfeng in the Chinese New Year's Eve, lest you run around for the New Year and not come back, and there is not even a person to go to the grave." Go, go, I'll do these things myself. ”

Night Terror, as a son, was really ashamed when he heard this, and bowed again, before leading the horse and Ben Ben back to the dart game.

If the house is not inhabited, it will not take a few months to disperse and be abandoned, so after leaving last time, Sanniang will leave someone in the gang to take care of it.

And after Uncle Song came over, he specially cleaned up for the New Year, and it was brand new inside and out, and two red lanterns were hung at the door.

After Night Terror put the horse in the stable of the dart board, he wanted to let Ben Ben rest first, and he and Bird Bird went to Shangzhu Xiang.

But Dongfang Liren came alone this time, and went to pay tribute to her father, where could she sit in the house, she still went out with her, bought some paper money and incense on the street, and then came to the small mound outside the town.

The lonely little grave was also cleaned, the surrounding snow was cleaned, and there were ashes in front of the tombstone.

Bird kept following, and when he arrived at the grave, he looked wilted, and obviously a little sad.

After all, the father-in-law of the Night Terror Hall is the father-in-law of the bird, and he was fed up like the Night Terror Hall.

Night Terror Hall came to the front and back of the grave, stuck the dragon knife at his side, knelt down in front of the tombstone, and had a lot of words in his heart, wanting to report the harvest and growth experience of the past year.

But looking at Sen Bai's tombstone, he couldn't say a word, and all that was in his mind was standing on the mound with his father-in-law, looking at the bits and pieces of the boundless wasteland.

After a slight hesitation, Dongfang Liren knelt down at his side, the two of them side by side, and then took out the fire fold to burn the paper.

Seeing this, Night Terror exhaled softly, took the paper money and smiled:

"Dad, this is my confidante, called Dongfang Liren, the sister of the current saint......"

Dongfang Liren's face was obviously a little red, but at this time, he didn't deny it, just lowered his head and muttered softly:

"The little woman Dongfang is leaving, meet Senior Pei."

"Twitter ......"

……

The night gradually covered the earth, and the faint light of fire appeared and disappeared on the mound, and the green smoke drifted into the sky with the wind.

The children of the rivers and lakes dressed in black knelt side by side in front of the grave, and the bird squatted beside him, with the old knife that the tomb had accompanied him all his life.

Although they have no words to each other, and the scene is a little desolate, the knife is still the same knife, the son has become a weapon, and he has brought back a sensible daughter-in-law.

If the people in the tomb know how to see this scene, I am afraid they will only be happy about it......

———

Thank you for the reward from the alliance leader of the big guy!
