After the meal, the two who left did not ride horses, but led their horses to wander around Jiangfeng Town.

The beggars around cast envious glances, probably because Li Yi's black clothes with some white patterns were too eye-catching, or the two horses that the two of them were holding in their hands.

Wang Daoping changed his previous open-mindedness and felt a little emotional. "Natural and man-made disasters are always unavoidable, just like debts, they have to be filled with life."

Li Yi looked at the beggars behind him and suddenly said to Wang Daoping. "Why don't you give them some silver taels and be a hero who cares for the common people? I heard you say that you want to be famous all over the world, isn't it a good opportunity now? ”

Wang Daoping rolled his eyes. "Don't be funny, I can see it clearly, you don't know. What if I give them silver taels, are you sure they will survive? Xichu has been suffering from disasters every year, the people are in turmoil, and the shadows are waiting for them, I can't save them. ”

Li Yi didn't look at him either, just teased. "Speaking of which, it looks like the rhetoric of the family property."

"Don't be ridiculous, don't say that I'm still unknown, even if I'm famous all over the world, what can I do, you look at Langya Pavilion, Jiugong Mountain, and the Xincheng Lu family and Quling City Jiang family, which family is not capable of producing people, but how many people can they save. Even if that mysterious Xichu Sword Immortal appeared, I am afraid that it would not be able to change the status quo of Xichu. ”

Wang Daoping looked at Li Yi and said solemnly. "Li Wenqing, even if we have a sincere heart, can we still save all living beings in the world?"

Li Yi didn't answer Wang Daoping, but he could know what Wang Daoping meant with a glance when he was in Xichu. In the past few years in Xichu, there have been natural disasters and human disasters, and they did not happen overnight.

Wang Daoping suddenly laughed. "Li Yi, you are really boring, let's just talk casually, you still can't take it seriously, and you don't want to save the world."

"I've been to the South, and it's not the same here."

"I know, there is a big difference between the north and the south!" Wang Daoping patted him on the shoulder, then remembered the injury on Li Yi's arm, thought about it, and said. "What do you think! I'll take you somewhere. ”

Wang Daoping said, jumped on the horse's back, slapped the horse's buttocks, and the old horse galloped out.

Li Yi looked at the old horse galloping away, and also jumped on the back of the horse and followed closely.

The two men left town and headed south, turning back in the direction they had come earlier.

Li Yi didn't ask much, long before he met Duan Chengxuan in purple clothes, Wang Daoping said that he would take him somewhere, and now that he thinks about it, the place he said at that time should be the place he wants to take him to now.

The journey was very smooth, and I didn't encounter any killers like Shadow Three-Star and Four-Star.

As a result, before reaching his destination, Wang Daoping gave him a black cloth and made him blindfold.

Although he didn't understand why Wang Daoping did this, he still obeyed Wang Daoping.

By the time he took off the black cloth, he had already arrived at the place where Wang Dao was thinking about bringing him here.

Li Yi stood in front of the somewhat quaint stone monument at the entrance of the village and said. "In the fog! It looks like it's just a normal village, and I thought you were going to take me to some great places to remember. ”

Wang Daoping smiled. "Do you really think it's just the usual countryside? I'm telling you, there's a big mystery. ”

"What's the mystery?"

Wang Daoping smiled mysteriously. "I can't tell you yet."

Li Yi heard what he said, so he didn't ask much, but observed carefully. Only then did they find that the scene here was really different from what they saw in Jiangfeng Town and even most of the Western Chu area, there were no beggars, and there was not much poverty.

"It does look different from other places."

"Ordinary people can't get in, and the fog outside is the barrier here." Wang Daoping said, triumphant.

"Fog?"

"That's right, we came through the clouds and took a boat."

"No wonder this village is called Wuri."

"This is not an ordinary village, there are nearly 10,000 people living here, and it can be called a small town."

"I just don't understand why I'm blindfolded."

Wang Daoping looked at Li Yi. "Because, it's dangerous."

Someone walked past the two of them, as if they both knew Wang Daoping, and greeted him. "Dohei is back?"

Wang Daoping was also very enthusiastic and waved in response. "Seventh uncle and seventh aunt are early! I've been out there for a few months, and I've got a few good things, and I'll send them to you two at that time. ”

"Gotcha." As he spoke, he walked away. "That's a certainty!"

"Definitely."

In the end, Wang Daoping took him to a two-story house on stilts with quaint lanterns hanging outside.

The two tied their horses to the stables.

Wang Daoping took Li Yi upstairs.

Li Yi sighed and said. "Along the way, what I have seen and heard is very different from most places in Western Chu, which is like a paradise, not affected by the drought in Western Chu, and does not seem to be affected by the war."

"It means that this is a good place, just look at it, there is no shortage of water here, what is causing the current situation in Xichu, water accounts for a large part of the ratio."

"I have another question, didn't you say that ordinary people can't get in, how do you know the way?"

Wang Daoping smiled. "It means that I am not an ordinary person!"

The two of them walked upstairs, and a white-haired old man sitting on a chair in the living room raised his head and looked over, and when he saw the two of them, he was a little surprised and said. "Huh! Why did you kid come back? ”

Li Yi looked at Wang Daoping, and from the old man's words, Wang Daoping seemed to come here often.

Wang Daoping smiled and said. "The rivers and lakes are sinister, I can't stand it. But grandpa, I brought a friend back, you wouldn't mind, would you? ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Daoping, and saw that Wang Daoping didn't seem to be lying, so he was sure that this old man was most likely his grandfather.

"You brought it all in, and you asked me if I minded, did you deliberately make me happy?" The white-haired old man's face was horizontal, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

Wang Daoping hurriedly untied a wine jug from his waist and handed it over. "This is Rongcheng's peach blossom brew."

Li Yi looked at Wang Daoping, Wang Daoping did not change color, and had already put the wine jug in front of the old man.

However, Li Yi knew that the so-called peach blossom brewing in Rongcheng was nothing more than a means to deceive honest people.

The wine in the jug did not come from Rongcheng, but Wang Daoping beat it in the wine shop called "The World Wine Guest" in Jiangfeng Town.

The old man took the flask, and his brows instantly furrowed. "Hahahaha, it's still your kid who has filial piety. But Fuzhu has a weird temper, so don't mention it to her two of you. ”

"Got it, don't worry, grandpa, it's not like Fuzhu."

"Don't be a sycophant, grandpa doesn't eat this."

"Grandpa, really, I not only brought you wine this time, but also other things."

The old man said as if he had changed. "Really, you kid doesn't lie?"

"Grandpa, when did I lie to you."

Wang Daoping handed over a package, and the old man took it and opened it, and instantly laughed. "You're still sensible."

"I know you like this, so I went to Jiugong Mountain to get it."

The old man turned around and left with the package, and did not forget to give instructions before closing the door of the house. "Don't just come in and disturb me, I want to see what kind of fairy thing the fire and thunder of Jiugong Mountain is."

As he spoke, he burst out laughing.

Wang Dao spread his hands flatly, a little helpless. "My grandfather is like that, he is very interested in fire and thunder."

Li Yi smiled and sat in the living room on the second floor with Wang Daoping.

"It doesn't look like there's anything to worry about, it's really rare to have a person who has lived to such an age and such a character."

Wang Daoping poured him a cup of tea, also poured himself a cup, and said. "My grandfather doesn't like people outside, he speaks straightforwardly, sometimes it hurts people, don't take it to heart."

Li Yi raised the teacup and smiled. "I look like the man with a small belly, and he doesn't say anything about me."

Wang Daoping stood up and said. "I'm going to stir-fry some food, and we'll have a drink later."

said, without waiting for Li Yi to reply, he hurriedly walked to the kitchen.

Li Yi sat in the living room, green smoke wafting from the teacup.

Outside, a few birds chirped in the treetops, and in the distance, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was full of red, and a few trees were sitting on both sides of the street.

He got up and walked towards Lou Xia, and after a circle around, he fed the two horses some straw.

When he turned around, a girl of fifteen or sixteen was staring at him.

The girl wears a light yellow dress, a retro hanging hairstyle, and a double bow at the waist. A light-colored basket hangs from his arm. There seems to be something in the basket.

Maybe it's cabbage, maybe it's herbs and the like.

"You are?" She said.

Li Yi pinched his nose and could guess who to ask, so he replied. "In Xia Li Li, you can also call me Li Wenqing, an outsider."

"No wonder I haven't seen you, it's not a person in the fog."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she suddenly remembered again, took out a dagger from her waist, pointed at Li Yi, and said. "Say, "Who?" How did you get here? Who brought you here? ”

Li Yi thought about it and felt that he didn't need to hide it.

First, this girl doesn't look like a bad person, and second, I don't want this girl to misunderstand.

I thought that if this girl shouted to catch a thief, wouldn't she be caught in a cage and abused like a thief.

"Does the girl know Wang Daoping?"

"Wang Daoping, it turned out to be him."

Li Yi looked at the girl and asked. "The girl knows him well?"

"Yes, after all, we've known each other for six or seven years."

"The girl is Wang Daoping's cousin?"

The reason why Li Yi had this question was that Wang Daoping muttered and told him a lot about his cousin Fuzhu.

At this moment, I heard the girl say that she had known Wang Daoping for six or seven years. As soon as the two things are connected, you know that this person must be the girl who often opposes him in Wang Daoping's mouth.

"This girl will not change her name or change her surname, it is Yin Fuzhu."

"Miss Fuzhu."

"I heard you say before, your name is Li Yi? Li Wenqing? ”

"Exactly."

"I don't understand you people, a bad name, isn't it? You have to take so much, it's a mess. ”

Li Yi was stunned, so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, and said in his heart that this is not if you want one! He didn't take the name.

Yin Fuzhu saw that he was embarrassed and spoke. "Say it! What did that guy bring you here for? In general, they rarely interact with the outside world, and they don't like people outside very much. ”

Li Yi was stunned, this question is also difficult to answer.

Wang Daoping said that he wanted to take him to a place, he didn't ask, he followed him in a daze, as for what to do here, why to come, he never thought about it.

At this moment, Wang Daoping, who brought him here, opened the window from the second floor and said with a smile. "Fuzhu, he's a friend of mine, don't embarrass him."

Yin Fuzhu rolled her eyes. "It's like I'm going to embarrass him. That's it! The visitor is a guest, and it doesn't hurt to give you a face. ”

"It's good to know my cousin! I specially made a delicious one for you, stir-fried shrimp. How about it, but you want to try it? ”

Yin Fuzhu said. "Okay! Barely embarrassed. ”

She said and went upstairs with Li Yi.

The three of them sat in the living room, Li Yi turned his head to look out the window, and the window was still the same as before, with the sound of birds singing constantly.

Yin Fuzhu sneered and looked at Wang Daoping, eager to pounce on him and fight with him now.

Li Yi turned to look at the two, smiled, sandwiched a piece of meat between the two of them, and said. "I'm so envious that you can have such a cousin."

He got up, stretched, and said. "I'm full, go down and have a look."

After saying that, he had already gone downstairs.

Yin Fuzhu and Wang Daoping looked at each other, turning their heads to look at his back at a loss, not understanding why he was so sad.

Yin Fuzhu asked Wang Daoping. "What's wrong with your friend, who seems to envy us?"

Wang Daoping patted her on the head. "How do I know that maybe people are homesick!"

"You still say that he is a friend, and you don't even know what he thinks, and you are not afraid of being laughed at to death."

Wang Daoping smiled slightly, ignoring Yin Fuzhu's white eyes.

In the afternoon, Wang Daoping and Li Yi touched the wine jug next to the stable.

Wang Daoping said. "Brother Li, what do you think of this place?"

Li Yi looked at Wang Daoping and said. "It's just a few turns, and it's a good place, at least compared to the outside world."

Li Yi took a sip of wine, a little excited. "If Xichu is like this, how many fewer people should die!"

"I didn't expect Li Yi to be a person who worries about the country and the people." Wang Daoping laughed.

Wang Daoping said as he jumped down from the stable fence, untied the black horse, and said. "I'll take you to a good place."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Yi to answer, he galloped out with his horse.

Li Yi also jumped on horseback and followed.

Soon after, the two men came to a cliff.

They put their horses on the lawn at the top of the cliff, but they stood at the forefront of the cliff.

Wang Daoping pointed down. "The town is down there."

Li Yi looked in the direction pointed by Wang Daoping, and there were clouds and mist below, but he could vaguely see clearly. The outlines of the houses, but also the scattered streets, the farmland.

"We're coming up from below?" Li Yi asked.

"Well, it's been a big circle to get here, doesn't it look like there's a feeling of heaven and earth?"

Li Yi looked down, but did not answer Wang Daoping.

Wang Daoping sat down and said. "What are you going to do in the north? You won't kill people, set fire to rob, right? I'm good at this. ”

"Go to the Desert City, the Taiping Ruins." Li Yi said, as if he was not afraid that Wang Daoping would guess his purpose.

"Looks like it's headed for that sword!"

"Wang Daoping, you are really like a friend of mine, when he first heard me go to the Taiping Ruins, he also thought that I was going for the Taiping Sword."

"Listening to you, didn't you go for the Taiping Sword?"

"No, I'm going for the sword."

Wang Daoping rolled his eyes and said. "Over the years, the deeds about the Taiping Ruins have spread all over the world, and the people who go to the Taiping Ruins are all for the treasures and the Taiping Sword. However! You don't seem to be greedy for money and lustful, so that's all you have is the Taiping Sword. ”

"If you say you are greedy for money, you are greedy for money, why do you add lust?"

"Isn't it funny to be greedy for money and lustful?"

Wang Daoping turned his head to look at him, looked down again, and said. "That's it! Boring. What's your friend's name? It can make you remember. ”

"Famous name, Zhang Chuxin."

Wang Daoping laughed. "Hahahaha...... it's really famous, I haven't heard of it."

"It will be in the future, although it is still unknown."

"And what do you think of me?"

Li Yi knocked Wang Daoping's arm with his fist and said. "It's hard to say, if you die in a few days, what kind of fame will be world-shattering."

"You really owe it, Brother Li."
