Chapter 238: Rumors are gradually rising
As the carriage entered the city of Hangzhou, there were more and more awe-inspiring and jealous eyes on both sides of the road. Just like when everyone in Yijian Villa returned to Hangzhou before, but this time everyone's focus was on the yellow-shirted figure sitting at the front of the carriage.
The boy in the short shirt paid vigilant attention to the pedestrians on both sides, and the atmosphere in the city today was far better than the day he returned to Hangzhou. From the gossip of some people in the market, I probably heard a rough idea, it seems that the whereabouts of the two of them on this trip to Yangzhou were exposed, and Ye Dang heard about the battle of the lonely boat and was rumored to be here.
Just as they were about to pass through an alley and prepare to head east of the city, suddenly a figure flickered in the crowd.
Lin Manliu immediately looked sideways, and his left hand was already clenched in the mountains, ready for a sudden vision. But when the figure walked out, the short-shirted boy recognized its identity, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It's Senior Sister Ji Ting! Ye Dangting looked at Ji Ting and nodded slightly, and Ji Ting also responded with a bow. Lin Manliu called softly: "Senior Sister Ji! Ji Ting smiled at the young man, but then his eyebrows moved slightly, and he motioned for Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu to follow her.
The woman who suddenly appeared walked towards the streets and alleys east of the city, and the people who had gathered at the entrance of the alleys before also hurriedly gave way to the road, for fear of colliding with these people from Yijian Villa.
The yellow-shirted figure waved the reins in his hand, and the short-shirted boy also led the little yellow horse on his side and walked towards the east of the city together.
Along the way, Ji Ting and the two explained the recent changes in Hangzhou and the results of their trip to Yangzhou.
Just as Lin Manliu heard, someone spread the word about the battle of the lonely boat across the lake! even added some pen and ink, depicting the competition between Ye Dangting and the umbrella bearer as godlike, as if it was the peak duel of the masters of the rivers and lakes.
And in the days when Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting returned to Hangzhou, it had almost spread all over the south. All of a sudden, there were many people who advocated the mysteries of the swordsmanship of Yijian Villa, and even more so those who praised Ye Dang's swordsmanship detachment!
Some storytellers who wanted to get more silver taels in the teahouse and restaurant have praised this yellow-shirted swordsman to the same level as Liu Mei in the past.
γγ It is said that the second owner of this Yijian Villa, Ye Dangting, once held a sword alone in southern Xinjiang, killed Liu Mei, the first person in swordsmanship, and in the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, on a lonely boat, he broke the enemy with a sword, and nearly 100 people surrounded him, but he was never captured.
Listening to these descriptions, Lin Manliu couldn't help laughing, and Ye Dang's face stiffened, and he pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.
Looking at the performance of the two, Ji Ting also guessed most of the truth, covering his face with one hand and smiling. At this moment, the window edge of the carriage was suddenly opened, and Ji Ting turned his head to look and found that it was actually a little girl with pigtails, and her head poked out of it.
Although he had already guessed that the carriage was in the car, it might be the key to breaking the game brought back by Ye Dang from this trip, but he didn't think that it was actually a little girl?
"Brother Ye, who is this?" Ji Ting was puzzled. Shen Adou didn't wait for Ye Dang to hear the introduction, and said to himself: "You can call the poor Dao Yangzhou Little Half Immortal!" Ji Ting was slightly stunned, but soon laughed: "Ji Ting has seen Yangzhou Little Half-Immortal!" Shen Xiaodao looked at the sister in front of him, said so naturally, and smacked his lips at Lin Manliu: "How do you say that!" The short-shirted boy scratched his head and remembered that when he first saw him that day, he was ready to speak out for his courtesy.
Unexpectedly, this Shen Xiaodao Chief also opened his lips slightly. The two of them said in unison: "Go up!" Shen Adou shook his head in satisfaction, Ji Ting first looked at the little girl with pigtails lying on the edge of the window, and then looked sideways at the young man leading the horse.
γγ In the future, the mountain villa will be more lively than before! After the three of them finished playing, Ye Dang asked out loud: "Since Mr. Mo left, has there been any news of Fengbai?" Ji Ting's face returned to calm, and he responded: "No... "If you want to talk about the time of acquaintance, Ye Dang has not known Ji Ting and Lu Fengbai for as long.
When Lu Fengbai was still in Yangfeng Valley, Ji Ting worshiped under his disciples, and he was the youngest disciple in Yangfeng Valley at that time.
Then Lu Fengbai and a series of disciples left Yangfeng Valley, and Ji Ting, Ye Dangting and others all followed him out.
In the end, he settled in Hangzhou, scattered the Lu family's wealth, and changed this old mansion into today's Yijian Villa.
Hearing no news from Lu Fengbai, Ye Dang heard it and said: "After returning to the village, there is something important to discuss with you... Ji Ting replied without saying much.
For the front of the carriage, the yellow-shirted figure suddenly became serious, and she understood that there must be something wrong with this trip to Yangzhou.
γγγγγγ After the carriage crossed the main road in the east of the city, it passed the ginkgo biloba lake and the willow river. Under the gaze of these ordinary people, Ye Dangting heard that the four of them successfully returned to Yijian Villa.
As soon as he entered the door, a young man in pink made a grimace, standing behind the screen, ready to scare Lin Manliu.
The young man in the short shirt hadn't even had a seizure, and Shen Xiaodao at the back of the crowd did jump out.
"Lin Daxia's usual playmates are all these naughty children?" As soon as these words came out, Chongying, who was rubbing his hands on his face, was not happy.
I saw that with a wave of his sleeves, he looked in the direction of Shen Adou, and his broken mouth kung fu was immediately revealed.
"What kind of character am I? Lin Manliu, where are you looking for the little kid, do you want to compare with your big brother Chong? Lin Manliu was speechless for a while, pulled Shen Adou's robe, and said loudly: "Don't be like him... The young man's voice was neither loud nor small, and it happened that Chongying could hear it clearly.
"Hey, I said Lin Manliu, do you think that you have walked a little more, and you have learned from Brother Ye to start arranging music!" Chongying pulled his throat.
The boy in the shirt smacked his lips
"Tsk", and then said: "How many miles I have walked, I really don't know, you are idle in the Zhuangzi all day long, and it is true that you don't do your business... β
"Good! Let's go to school today! I don't want to beat you up! Chongying shouted.
"Hey, there's a fight!" Shen Adou made a loud noise. Looking at the words of the three teenagers and girls in the courtyard, Ye Dang was helpless, and then stretched out his hands and grabbed Lin Manliu and Chongying's heads respectively.
The two were arguing verbally, but neither of them had time to dodge, and they were both caught by the old liar in the yellow shirt. The heads of the two teenagers were kept shaking by Ye Dangting.
γγ Lin Manliu snorted, as if to tell Ye Dang, you just wait for me to go to the master to cry!
Chongying kept shouting all kinds of arrogant words in his mouth, such as today's shame, he is a hundred times older! Such words.
But the more the two of them were like this, the more energetic Ye Dang listened, forcing the two teenagers to be miserable. At this moment, a woman in black walked out from the right side of the main room, looking at the strange behavior of the yellow-shirted figure, with a look of disdain.
Naturally, it is Lin Manliu's master eleven.
"How old a man is, still like this... It's all boring... Eleven said aloud. When Ye Dang heard the sound, he let go of his hands and looked at Eleven with a smile.
The woman in black asked aloud, "What's wrong?" β
"There's a solution... The yellow-shirted figure responded. When Eleven heard his words, he turned and walked in the direction of the main hall.
Ye Dangting looked at everyone around him, and spoke loudly: "Man Liu will take Shen Xiaodao to rest first, and later inform the disciples in the village that the main hall will discuss the matter." Lin Manliu, Chongying, Ji Ting and others responded in unison: "Yes!" Then Shen Adou, under the leadership of the short-shirted boy, prepared to go to the idle courtyard of Yijian Villa to rest.
During this period, when Lin Manliu passed by the courtyard of Lin's father and Lin's mother, he greeted his father and mother and reported his safety. The little girl with pigtails watched the boy's every move.
γγ Whether it was the mutual ridicule with Ye Dang at the beginning, or the argument with the Chongying broken mouth, and then to the cold and warm in front of his father and mother now.
For her, the young man named Lin Manliu in front of him, he has done the best he can to do this.
But there are so many things in my heart, and in the end, I can hold it in my hand, and how much is left... After saying goodbye to Lin's father and Lin's mother, the two continued to walk towards the side courtyard in the villa.
Shen Adou suddenly said loudly: "Since you traveled alone in Southern Xinjiang, do you think you are still your original self?" Lin Manliu's footsteps stopped, and he turned to look at the little girl with pigtails, and his eyes were the same as when he looked at the boat.
"No matter where I am, I am me, I don't know what Shen Xiaodao means?" The boy in the short shirt replied loudly.
The little girl with pigtails tapped her head and jumped forward.
"Just ask casually, hurry up and lead the way, hurry up and lead the way, didn't Ye Dang listen to you and let you go to the meeting!" Then Lin Manliu took Shen Adou to a courtyard and left, and the two never spoke again.
It's like Shen Adou's question before, which touched the young man's headγγγγγγγ After Lin Manliu returned to the main hall of Yijian Villa, he found that there were already many people in the hall at this time.
Except for the empty main seat and the place where Mr. Limo sits on weekdays, the other places are already scattered with people.
Since the opening of the village in April, it has been almost half a year since I met these faces in front of me. Everyone in Yijian Villa knows that there is this short-shirted young man in the village, who has traveled thousands of miles of mountains and rivers by himself, delivering news for the villa, and walking alone with a sword for the spirit in his heart.
Ye Dangting sat on the left side of the main seat, changed his playful appearance on the road, and saw Lin Manliu standing at the door of the main hall.
He beckoned to the boy in the shirt and motioned to come to his side. In the process of entering the main hall, Lin Manliu greeted the brothers who passed by one by one, and when he passed by the eleventh position, he even saluted his master, and finally stood beside Ye Dangting.
The yellow-shirted figure was sitting precariously, and after seeing that all the disciples who were now staying in the village had arrived, he coughed lightly, and everyone looked at Ye Dangting.
"Previously, Fengbai used himself as bait so that we could return to Hangzhou safely, and then Mr. Mo also sought the possibility of breaking the situation for us and was forced to leave, and today we are the only ones left in the village!" As Ye Dang's words spoke, the disciples of Yijian Villa all clenched their fists.
Since they returned from southern Xinjiang, both good and evil in the rivers and lakes are seeking an opportunity, ready to seize the second of the four swords in the world from the hands of Yijian Villa.
But since ancient times, the chaotic entanglement of rivers and lakes all started from some trivial things, and then there was a dispute between the two factions for survival.
How can those who covet the second of the four swords give up after taking the sword?
