Gu Shengchao and Fu Qumeng said goodbye, inquired about the direction, and rushed towards Luocrow Bay with Ding Ying.

The two went all the way to Lok Ya Wan and came to Ding Ying's perfume shop, which had a prosperous business with a large number of customers. When the guys saw Ding Ying, they all shouted and asked for warmth, and when they saw Ding Ying's intimate attitude towards Gu Shengchao, they immediately had an expression that I understood, and they were also very attentive to Gu Shengchao, so they almost called their uncle directly. After Ding Ying checked the accounts, she pulled Gu Shengchao to the backyard.

There are three main rooms in the backyard, one wing room in the east and one in the west, and the two of them cleaned one room after another, Ding Ying found that the mark she made when she left was still there, which also showed that the master Fang Xingdan and they had never returned.

Gu Shengchao and Ding Ying stayed in the east and west houses respectively, patiently waiting for Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan to return and discuss their marriage. After all, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the necessary procedures are indispensable.

The two of them had nothing to do, so they concentrated on practicing the Feng Wu swordsmanship together, pondering every move and mental mantra with their hearts, without missing any tiny details. Gu Shengchao found that even after comparing the "Detailed Explanation of the Formula", he did not find what he needed in the Feng Wu Sword Method. It is also a mantra and a mental method, why is the Phoenix Sword Technique much stronger than the Phoenix Dance Sword Technique.

In the desert, the wolf demon's super perception and precise control of the mysterious power made Gu Shengchao impressed, he won that night in the internal strength, if he hadn't absorbed the pure and pure qi of the spirit fetus in the Dream Villa, it would definitely be more than auspicious to meet the wolf demon.

He thought of the phoenix dance swordsmanship carved on the stone wall by Gongsun Ran in the Luoyawan Cave, could it be that he ignored something, and then thought about it, Lu Chuan also went in to find out and found no omission, so he dispelled this idea. He made up his mind to return to the Valley of the Four Kings and go to Snake Island to investigate carefully.

Ding Ying remembered the sword that Gu Shengchao used for her that night, so she asked him: "That sword is extremely sharp, it won't be something from a sweetheart, don't you want to give it to me!" ”

Gu Shengchao told her the story between Yunshang City and Lu Wanshan, and told Ding Ying: "Although this phoenix dance sword is related to you and me, it is something that Uncle Lu protects with his life. ”

Ding Ying pursed her lips and was unhappy, "Hmph, I knew it must have been given to a certain girl, you just got carried away, in order to please others, regardless of my feelings, I can see you clearly." She flicked her sleeves away angrily.

Gu Shengchao was speechless, he had the impression that Ding Ying was gentle and elegant, very reasonable, how could he turn his face after knowing each other for a long time.

It's a pity that he is a straight man, where will he understand the sensitive and fragile heart of a girl.

For a few days in a row, Ding Ying didn't have a good face for Gu Shengchao, which made him extremely depressed, calculated the time, he had lived in Luoya Bay for half a month, and he didn't know when Lu Chuan and Fang Xingdan would come back. Waiting in this way is not a solution, Gu Shengchao came up with the idea of leaving.

At night, Ding Ying sat alone in the room and played with a puppet, and saw that the puppet's demeanor was somewhat similar to that of Gu Shengchao.

Gu Shengchao knocked on the door, and when he saw that Ding Ying didn't respond, he said, "I'm in", and took the initiative to push the door in.

Ding Ying turned her head and ignored him.

Gu Shengchao sat aside, the atmosphere in the room was awkward and boring, Gu Shengchao coughed dryly and said: "That, well, Senior Lu and Senior Fang don't know how long it will take to come back, or I will go back to the Valley of the Four Kings first, the King of Faint is still lying on the bed and can't move, I happened to learn the means to help him, I want to leave tomorrow morning." ”

"Anyway, the legs are on you, you can go wherever you like, what does it have to do with me?" Ding Ying was still angry.

Gu Shengchao had a headache, and he didn't know how to make Ding Ying happy, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "Senior Lu knows how to contact the Valley of the Four Kings, if they come back, they will notify me, and I will come back to arrange our affairs immediately." ”

Ding Ying was silent, and waited for a while before whispering: "Anyway, there are other women outside you, I don't know if it will be successful." ”

Gu Shengchao felt that Ding Ying in front of him was unreasonable, and he was just jealous, and it was really unimaginable to compete with a blind girl who had never known her life. He stood up helplessly and said, "I'll leave tomorrow morning, you pay more attention to your body." ”

As soon as he got up, Ding Ying said, "What is your birthday, I want to remember it." ”

The marriage contract between men and women, the eight characters of the birthday are also important, Gu Shengchao hurriedly told Ding Ying, only to see that she took out a pen and wrote it all on the puppet.

Only then did Gu Shengchao see the puppet in Ding Ying's hand clearly, and said strangely: "What are you doing here, this puppet can't be me, right?" ”

Ding Ying didn't answer, and said to herself: "The custom of my hometown, as long as a man travels far away with the puppet, he can bless peace and smoothness, if he changes his mind and pierces the puppet with a silver needle, he will be tortured and unable to die." ”

"Don't, I'm afraid of you, as long as you don't stab me, I have something to discuss." Gu Shengchao was really convinced, Ding Ying seemed to be quiet, he could even think of this way, he was really afraid.

Early the next morning, Gu Shengchao knocked on the door and said goodbye to Ding Ying, thinking that Ding Ying was still angry, but to Gu Shengchao's surprise, Ding Ying actually sent him out of Luoya Bay. Although the two were speechless all the way, Gu Shengchao also felt Ding Ying's strong friendship.

Gu Shengchao got on the horse and waved his hand: "You go back, remember to inform me if you have news." ”

Ding Ying raised the puppet in her hand and said, "Don't worry, I don't want this puppet to be covered with silver needles." ”

Gu Shengchao smiled bitterly and rode away, walking far away, he turned the horse's head and stopped to watch, Ding Ying in the distance was just a small dot, still standing there and looking into the distance.

"Take care." Gu Shengchao waved his hand and shouted.

Ding Ying in the distance seemed to say something, but the distance was too far to hear it really, and Gu Shengchao sighed and rode away.

Gu Shengchao was like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to return to the Valley of the Four Kings immediately, but he couldn't bear it at all, so he had to slow down and move forward with the horse's physical strength.

Passing by a small mountain village on this day, just now the sky was still clear and a gust of wind blew was a downpour, Gu Shengchao had no rain gear, so he had to lead his horse and hide under the courtyard gate on the side of the road. There is a hollow eaves foot above the courtyard gate, and the top is covered with tiles, so that people can just shelter from the rain below.

Not long after, a couple came running in a hat wearing a coat, presumably doing farm work in the field, unable to withstand the torrential rain and going home. When the two came closer, Gu Shengchao realized that he was standing at the gate of someone's courtyard, and hurriedly flashed to the side to get out of the way.

The man was burly, and after lowering his head and striking the copper lock, he inadvertently glanced at Gu Shengchao, lifted the hat and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Are you the Gu brother of the worry-free dart game?" ”

Gu Shengchao was drenched into a soup chicken, wiped the rain from his forehead and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Is it Brother Wang Yuan, why are you here?" ”

Wang Yuan is the partner of Gu Shengchao in the same worry-free dart game, Gu Shengchao obeyed Xu Bo's arrangement to send Liu Ximei alone, and the two separated. Gu Shengchao listened to Zhong Lei in the capital, the people who sent the darts had all died, and he had already decided in his heart that Wang Yuan was not alive, and it was of course a surprise to meet here.

"Brother Gu, it's great to meet you here." Wang Yuan was overjoyed, helped Gu Shengchao lead the horse to the horse shed and tied it, and invited him into the house to rest.

Gu Shengchao's whole body was wet, Mrs. Wang Yuan found a robe for him to change into, Wang Yuan was strong, Gu Shengchao put on his clothes like a fat robe, there was no choice but to do this.

Wang Yuan was hospitable, killed a chicken and made some wine to wash the dust for Gu Shengchao. The weather was damp and cold, Mrs. Wang Yuan put a small table on the bed, and the two sat directly on the couch to drink, and when they pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Wang Yuan asked: "After Brother Gu left alone that day, the road was quite smooth, right?" ”

There were too many experiences during this period, and Gu Shengchao made a long story short: "It went well, and after sending the woman safely, I also got the bounty." I came home from Raven Bay this time, and I happened to meet Brother Wang when I passed by here to take shelter from the rain. ”

Wang Yuan admired: "Brother Gu's martial arts are high, I am convinced, if you didn't pull me that day, I would have been shot to death by random arrows, come to the eldest brother to give you a bowl." ”

Gu Shengchao smiled: "Big brother is modest, I just happened to do it, by the way, you sent the darts smoothly, right?" ”

Wang Yuan slapped his thigh vigorously and said sadly: "They are all dead, only one of me is left to pick up a life and run back." ”

"How so?" Gu Shengchao wanted to know what was going on.

Wang Yuan drank it all, put down the wine bowl heavily, and said: "After you leave, Uncle Xu ordered us to give up all the vehicles, give everyone the things in the dart cart and carry them on their backs, and each person rode a horse day and night. Even so, in the end, the other party was stopped on the road. This hard battle has made me unforgettable in my life, it is too miserable. ”

He had a lot of thoughts and wanted to drink, Gu Shengchao hurriedly poured a full wine, Wang Yuan drank the wine and continued: "I originally thought that I was superb in martial arts, but after this battle, I completely understood that it was too far behind, and it was a fluke to survive. Xu Bo looks like an ordinary coachman, in fact, he is the real master, that pair of hammers waved, I can't get close, only beaten. I tried to climb out and couldn't move, I couldn't shout, so I could only lie straight and watch everyone fight, and my whole body was covered by mud and grass. ”

"And then?" Gu Shengchao saw that Wang Yuan was completely immersed in the scene at that time and reminded him.

Wang Yuan fixed his mind and said: "Xu Bo is invincible, no one is his opponent, seeing that the other party is losing and retreating, Xin Dart suddenly came behind Xu Bo and secretly gave him a sword, and the tip of the sword passed through Xu Bo's chest. Xu Bo did not guard against the sword, and smashed Xin Dart's head with a backhand, and before he died, Xu Bo also asked: 'Why did you kill me?' It's just that Xin Darthead is already a dead man, and there is no way to answer. As soon as Xu Bo died, our dart game became a lamb to be slaughtered, and we were unfortunately killed in battle after a while. ”

"Alas!" Wang Yuan sighed and said: "I think I am a character, but I am not a fart in the eyes of others, they just checked that Uncle Xu was indeed dead, packed up the belongings we escorted and left in a hurry, and didn't care about the life and death of our little people, maybe in the eyes of others, our life and death were not worth anything." ”

Wang Yuan and Gu Shengchao raised their bowls to drink, and then said: "I just lay like that, I couldn't move until midnight, I was frightened, I pulled my legs and ran desperately to the rice field next to me, I don't know how far I ran, and I didn't stop until dawn." To be honest, I really didn't feel tired at that time, I was just afraid, scared to death. I ran all the way back, I didn't dare to toss outside, I honestly married my daughter-in-law to live a stable life, and I didn't hide it from my brother, I can pick up a life and come back, I am content, I am really content. ”

Wang Yuan told the truth, Gu Shengchao was also emotional, and the two of them drank unconsciously until the rain passed and the sky was clear, and the sun set and the moon rose. In the dead of night, both of them were drunk and lying unconscious.

The next day was almost noon, Gu Shengchao woke up, he changed his clothes and was leaving, Wang Yuan insisted on keeping him for a few more days.

Gu Shengchao said embarrassedly: "Big brother doesn't know, I also have a wife waiting at home, and your brother and sister will be angry if you go back late." ”

"Oh!" Wang Yuan suddenly realized: "I understand, since this is the case, I will no longer keep it, take care of yourself on the road, and lead my younger brothers and sisters to play here another day." ”

Gu Shengchao agreed, and rode away.
