Chapter 263: Returning from a Long Snowy Night
The courtyard gate suddenly heard the sound of the wheel, and returned to the people after a long snowy night. After saying goodbye to Zheng Lian and the others in the forest, Lin Manliu and the others drove the carriage and continued to rush towards Hangzhou.
Until night covered the sky, there was no rest, and the frolicking in the carriage ahead along the way was much less than before.
Because everyone understands that something may be going to happen to Yijian Villa... Maybe Lin Manliu was too anxious, or maybe it was that after winter, the horses were really hard to endure the cold.
The horses in the front and rear carriages began to have some weakness on their feet, and when the mountain road was winding several times, they drove the cars violently.
With a hiss from Xiao Huang, as if to wake up the panicked boy, he looked up at the sky. The ice wheel is rolling and the clouds are obscured... Yue Hanzhi gave a concerned look at the person who was driving, wanting to speak but did not say it.
Seeing this, Shen Tianpei said, "Do you want to rest for a while?" Lin Manliu looked sideways at the three people in the car, then raised his hand to the outside of the car and threw two stones one after another.
This is a signal that they are ready to stop and rest as they walk. After hearing the news, Zhou Mo followed the young man's car and found a place to stop under the tree to rest.
After half a day of running, the horse, which was finally able to rest, kicked its stirrup from time to time, as if it was tired.
Among the horses, Xiao Huang, the thinnest of the horses, reacted the most strongly, snorting a few times from time to time, and then chewing off the blades of grass beside him.
The six people who traveled with him each found an open place to rest, and the young Taoist priest finally had no one in the car, and he lay half down in the carriage.
Lin Manliu took out some dry food from his burden and distributed it to everyone, and then began to rest by a tree.
Yue Hanzhi took the pancake handed over by the young man before, walked over, and squatted down beside the young man.
The woman in blue was the first to speak: "Is it because of the news in Zheng Lian's mouth before?" The boy looked at the woman beside him and nodded.
"After all, I'm still a little younger, and I told you to believe that don't worry? Will this start again? Yue Hanzhi complained.
Lin Manliu didn't answer directly, but just hugged the sword in the village tighter.
"Since I returned from southern Xinjiang, I thought I wouldn't be afraid of these things, but since the old liar had an accident, I'm still afraid..."
"There has never been a person who will not be afraid of anything, there will be things that are timid and fearful in your heart, so why should you think about it?" Lin Manliu looked up at the dark night above the woods, and the heaven and earth seemed to be confined to this forest at this time.
"Now that the Evil Slaughter Gate is gone, and the mountain villa is surrounded by tigers and wolves, I am afraid that the evil yin will be used behind my back..."Yue Hanzhi listened to the young man's tone, as if he was about to start talking about their worries, and immediately shook his hand in front of the young man.
"Stop! Kindly comforted you, I didn't listen to your chatter, where is the Lin Daxia who educated others during the day? After finishing speaking, Yue Hanzhi also gave Chong Lin Manliu an admiring expression.
looked at the girl he liked in his heart, and poked his cheeks with both hands, looking younger than him.
In this way, the young man's worries were interrupted by the woman in blue, and he had to recall the events before and after the post station.
Lin Manliu said a little shyly: "At that time, my head was hot, and I remembered some of the truths that Mr. Mo had said, so I acted like this..."
Then she said with a straight face: "Is the person who is full of truth Lin Manliu you, is it you who is revered by others, and are they awakened after your words?" Looking at Yue Hanzhi, whose attitude changed sharply, she was still the sister next door who admired her, but suddenly became a sister again, Lin Manliu's mood was much better.
"Then I'm Lin Manliu, do I still have some ability?" The boy burst out laughing. Yue Hanzhi also laughed, broke the pancake in his hand in half, and handed a piece to Lin Manliu.
"Then Lin Manliu, who has some skills, help me eat half a piece?" Yue Hanzhi laughed. The boy took the pancake and put it directly into his mouth, and began to devour it.
Seeing this, the woman in blue raised her eyebrows and pouted.
"Lin Manliu, you eat so fast, you just don't want to eat with me!" In the process of her words, the young man was stunned and ate all the pancakes.
Lin Manliu hurriedly explained: "When I was at the post station before, I didn't eat much..."Yue Hanzhi thought about it in his head, as if this was indeed the case.
Before she could find a step down, she saw the boy feel another pancake from behind her!
"I still have one..."
"Eat it yourself! I'm going to kill you at night! The voices of the two of them have actually been lowered as much as possible, but the person who traveled with them was not a person who practiced martial arts.
This method of listening to the sound and distinguishing the position, practice naturally makes perfect, and you can't hear it if you can't hear it. Not far away, Su Miannuan and Qinglan each clinged to a tree... The man was holding the snow from the ground in both hands and wiping the two short spears between his knees.
Su Miannuan squinted at Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi, and only after a while did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"The way of the world today... Becoming so fast, can he really adapt to the present or the future in your eyes? Qinglan stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction of the young man with her beloved wife.
"The prosperity of the rivers and lakes is waiting for new books, such juniors are the mainstream in the future, and they will not die halfway because of us who stand in the way!" After he finished speaking, his gaze moved from Lin Manliu, first at Yue Hanzhi, then at Shen Tianpei, and finally at the carriage.
Six people went south on this trip, except for him and his wife Su Miannuan, all of whom were rookies who had not been in the WTO for a long time. ...... On December 6, the end of the year is approaching, and heavy snow is coming.
Lin Manliu and Zhoumo, who had been in the north for more than half a month, finally returned to the boundary of Hangzhou. The rush of these days is far less tiring than the rush of the post station that day.
On the way south, the boy walked as far as he could. As long as you encounter a town with a lot of people, or happen to meet a village that is rushing to the market, you will divide people to find out the recent news about Yijian Villa.
From the news he found, the boy was also much more relieved. Indeed, as Zheng Lian said, the reputation of Yijian Villa has plummeted, and it is another sect that has been criticized by mouth and pen after the wind and snow Daguanlou.
Especially for the old liar's scolding, it is the loudest. first said that it was a hypocrite who secretly made a trick, and then said that it was a real villain who disturbed the stability of the rivers and lakes.
In short, no matter how contradictory the words are, as long as they are scolded and listened to, they will become reasonable and recognized by everyone.
Lin Manliu can only scold him for this, the old liar deserves it! But among these scattered pieces of news, there is one that everyone pays some attention to.
It's the news about the cold mountain... The former status of this Xunhan Mountain, although it is not as good as the Wind and Snow Grand View Tower, is second only to the two factions of Casting Sword Peak and Asking Sword Lake.
is a head shorter than the Southern Xinjiang Sanxingguan, and it is only because there are indeed no too brilliant sects in the southern Xinjiang area, and they are all swallowed by the Sanxingguan family.
But now the Wind and Snow Grand View Building has changed hands twice, and the decline of the two factions of Casting Sword Peak and Participating in the Star View is fully revealed, and the reputation of the newly emerging Yijian Villa is even more rotten and stinky.
In the current rivers and lakes, Wenjian Lake, which ranks first in the Heaven and Earth Alliance, I don't know why? Suddenly inaction.
In this case, this is the cold mountain, which is about to start to move quietly! In the case of the fame of Yijian Villa, the chief elder of Xunhan Mountain, Zhan Keng, came forward alone to correct him, and Yijian Villa defected together with the Wind and Snow Grand View Tower.
In the process of rushing in the past few days, when he arrived in Hezhou City, Lin Manliu specially entered the city and found a restaurant to find out the news.
Roughly knowing, from the beginning of that exhibition, there were four small sects before and after, responding to the call of Xunhan Mountain.
Now it's almost near Hangzhou after all, but there has been no action for a long time. It seems to be waiting for Xunhan Mountain to strike first... The young man thought about it like this, without the generals who took the lead, those soldiers who followed the rush to kill, would they move first?
Lin Manliu was driving the carriage, and in the carriage behind him, the sound of the moon cold branch came out.
"Aunt Nuan, you can enter the city before dark!" After Su Miannuan heard the sound, he opened the car window and looked at the ginkgo on both sides of the road.
Autumn has passed, the golden ginkgo is long gone, frost and snow hit the branches, only a few dead leaves remain, still standing on the trunk.
"I've been for a long time... I can't come to this Jiangnan water town! Su Miannuan sighed. Yue Hanzhi spoke out and asked: "I heard Man Liu say before, it was Uncle Qing who met before he left the Sword Gate, Aunt Nuan and the two of you had already gone south at that time, why did you think about going north this time?"
Su Miannuan withdrew her gaze from afar, and reached out to grab Yue Hanzhi's hands into his arms.
"It's not those men yet, who always have the whole world in their hearts, I want to be idle and wild, and you can swim... He said it wasn't time yet! Listening to Su Miannuan's complaints, Shen Tianpei was also interested.
"Isn't it, I always think I can stand up to the sky!" After Yue Hanzhi heard the sound, he tilted his head to look at the woman in red at the opposite table, and gradually laughed, but he didn't say anything.
Shen Tianpei was a little puzzled: "Sister Hanzhi, why are you looking at me like this?" "But Yuehanzhi is just laughing there, still silent.
Being looked at like this, Shen Tianpei's cheeks flushed slightly, and he immediately turned his head sideways to look at the corner of the carriage. Su Miannuan quipped: "It seems that our dumping Pei also hides a man..."Yue Hanzhi was about to speak with Aunt Nuan, but she heard this
The word "hidden" immediately reacted, and it was said together with her! She hurriedly closed her mouth, and her eyes glanced at the young man driving in a panic.
Su Miannuan watched the reaction of the two people in the car, and couldn't help but start shaking her head and laughing, muttering in her heart, they are all stupid girls.
When the moon and stars are scarce again, the crows and magpies hide under the trees in the forest to protect against the cold. The young man looked at the city of Hangzhou that gradually appeared in front of him, and his hands couldn't help but clench the reins a little.
Xiao Huang also seemed to be aware of the imminent return home, and his previously slow pace also sped up a little. However, before Lin Manliu could take the entire Hangzhou City into his eyes, he saw several figures at the end of the street.
The woman who sat on horseback at the head was a senior sister Ji Ting. After the young man approached, he hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and saluted Ji Ting.
"Senior Brother Lin has worked hard all the way, the city gate is closed at this time, you come with me!" Ji Ting said. Lin Manliu answered, then continued to get on the horse and drive, and followed Ji Ting and the others towards a post station outside Hangzhou.
"This place is run by the mountain villa, and I received a message from the disciples in the village on the road before, saying that you have returned to the south, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Ji Ting Yuma was on the side, and he sighed with emotion.
The young man said with a smile: "It's still thanks to the care of the senior sisters that it can go so smoothly!" ”
"Why did you go out and your mouth was a lot sweeter?" Ji Ting noticed the strangeness of the young man and immediately joked.
The boy was thinking, looking for some reason to explain. Suddenly, I saw the courtyard door in front of me wide open...
