Chapter 7: The rain sends the dusk flowers to Yile

Huangzhou Mansion is located in the sun of Dabie Mountain, the north of the river, only two hundred miles to Hanyang in the west, Wu head and Chu tail, the shape wins the central south. This place was once the place where Emperor Xu Shouhui set up the capital at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and now there is Luotiangong Tea Farm in the northeast, Huizhou and other places in the north to go south, Wuchang Hanyang in the west, and Jingdezhen, the porcelain production area in the south, although there is a world of difference compared to Hankou, but it is usually bustling, and there is a lot of excitement. At this time, the sky was gray, and the rain fluttered in the wind, and in a few moments, the pedestrians were drenched home, and only an empty block was left.

Feng Yanlang returned the little girl, received a thousand thanks, and was recognized as his father-in-law. Thinking about the task entrusted to him by the senior brother of the Huashan faction when he was dying, he didn't dare to slack off, so he quit the family and went to Huangzhou Mansion immediately. This day near noon to the Huangzhou Prefecture Qishui County, into the county governance, I found that the stomach was already hungry, a raised eye, I saw a restaurant not far away, happy heart, so I strode in, found a position by the window, looked over, couldn't help but be happy, it turned out that this was an acquaintance, no need to ask, must be to find Zeng Jinyi to come.

At that time, Fang Lingyan was already happy, and was already greeting Feng Yanlang, patting the bench next to him, and inviting him to sit over.

Feng Yanlang didn't know what this senior sister was going to do, so he walked over slowly, but he didn't dare to sit down immediately.

"Hurry up, sit down." Fang Lingyan waited impatiently, and let out a loud shout, which startled Feng Yanlang into a thrill, and sat down, without looking at the new friend sitting opposite, he grabbed the wine and meat to eat and drink.

"Senior sister, this kid is here, if you don't want it, I'll take it." Li Rufeng quipped, he vaguely felt a hint of threat, and also wanted to see what kind of attitude this junior sister had towards that junior brother.

"I don't want his rotten life, you want you to take it." Fang Lingyan seemed to have forgotten what she had said before, and blocked Li Rufeng from coming off the stage for a while.

Li Rufeng watched Feng Yanlang gobble up, thinking that he was also worried about Zeng Jinyi's safety, he worked all night, he didn't dare to delay, and he was hungry for a long time. Then he called for some wine and food, and responded: "You see that he is hungry, let's get fat first." ”

Fang Lingyan laughed. "I thought that your eldest son Feng was a white-faced scholar, but I didn't expect to eat like a reckless man." As he spoke, he handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe the rain from his face.

Feng Yanlang raised his head and looked at her, lowered his head and continued to eat, and said, "Hungry, aren't you going to kill me, I don't want to be a starving ghost!" After eating a few bites, he grabbed the handkerchief and wiped it carefully on his face, squeezed out a smile from the corner of his mouth, and returned the handkerchief to Fang Lingyan.

"Haha...... Yanlang, we meet again."

Only then did Feng Yanlang see that the person on the opposite side who stood up and saluted was Jing Yunpeng, a proud disciple of Du Qinglan's disciple, thinking that Li Rufeng had already told him what he knew.

Feng Yanlang stopped his hand, stared at Jing Yunpeng and said, "You are very fast."

Li Rufeng and Fang Lingyan took a moment to figure out that the two of them already knew each other, who made this Feng Yanlang always speak so headlessly.

"So you already know each other, huh? Don't say it sooner. Fang Lingyan said angrily.

"It's hard to get into words, after we got off Wudang, the master didn't know how to get the news, saying that someone was going to deal with Wuyue, so he ordered me to go to Songshan to report to the second uncle, thinking that Songshan was in the middle, so that everyone could discuss together, I escaped, but I didn't expect that I was caught as soon as I went to Songshan, but fortunately, Senior Brother Feng secretly rescued me and escaped."

"Shhh......h Don't make a fuss about it. ”

"Why is that, you didn't make this clear last time!" Fang Lingyan was puzzled.

"Senior sister, there are a lot of people in this kind of place, let's eat first, and then talk slowly on the way." Li Rufeng is old and spicy after all, and he knows that Feng Yanlang must have touched his tail.

After eating, the four of them took advantage of the new sunny weather after the rain and headed north. But he noticed that since he went out, there was a person who followed behind in a daze, his eyes staring at the saber in Fang Lingyan's hand.

"You're being targeted too?" Feng Yanlang asked quietly.

"You said he, he had been with us for a day, and in the morning, he met him near a mountain temple, and he had been following, looking at my sword, and I went to threaten him, but I didn't expect him to be a fool. He attracted some people on the road to grab my sword, no, he met Yun Peng, who saw the unevenness of the road and drew his sword to help. ”

"Are you sure he's a fool?" Feng Yanlang is still vigilant.

"It's right to be a fool, it can be seen that when he saw others robbing his junior sister's things, he actually went to fight with others and was almost killed, but fortunately he was saved by Yun Peng."

"Could it be that Senior Sister knows him?"

"No, I've never seen him, am ...... Has he seen my sword? ”

"Your sword?" Feng Yanlang glanced at Fang Lingyan's sword, and there was a jade pendant engraved with the word "Yan" hanging from the hilt. "More than one piece of this jade pendant?"

"How do you know?" Suddenly, Fang Lingyan's eyes flashed: "Oh...... I see, you're saying he didn't look at my sword, but at this jade pendant? ”

"Huh...... The younger sister finally got her senses. When Li Rufeng listened to Feng Yanlang's question, he had already thought that the fool must know this jade pendant.

"Hmph...... Don't you know that when I get smart, you can only be like that stupid big brother" Fang Lingyan said, "My sister also has the same jade pendant, but it is engraved with 'moon', just because her name is Fang Lingyue, I think, that stupid big brother must have seen my sister." ”

At this time, there was a fork in the road ahead, and for a while, the four of them didn't know which way to go.

"Go home, go home ......" I saw that the fool suddenly danced with his hands, ran up, and dragged Fang Lingyan to one of the intersections.

"Let's go, let's follow him, maybe we'll find something." Li Rufeng suggested.

Walking along this road, not far away, I came to a courtyard, which is not far from the county seat, and it seems that the owner's life is quite difficult. As soon as he reached the door, the fool shouted "Mother...... Mother", pulled the old lady out, and pointed to the jade pendant on Fang Lingyan's sword for her to see.

The old lady looked at Fang Lingyan and the group carefully, her eyes fell on Fang Lingyan, on the sword she was holding in her hand, and on the jade pendant hanging from the hilt.

"Are you ......?"

"Old man, I want to ask you something, have you seen this jade pendant?" Fang Lingyan leaned up and took out the jade pendant for the old lady to see.

The old man picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, showing a strange expression when he saw the word "Yan" on it. "Are you looking for someone?" The old man had already guessed the visitor's intentions.

"Yes, old man, I'm looking for my sister, she has a similar jade pendant with the word 'moon' engraved on it, have you seen it?"

"You're Yue'er's sister?" The old lady looked very happy, with a hint of melancholy in her joy.

"Do you really know Yue'er? Yes, my name is Fang Lingyan, she was only ten years old when our sisters were separated, and it has been twelve years now. Fang Lingyan's eyes burst out with a hint of grief and indignation, "Do you know where she is now?" ”

"I know that Yue'er also has a jade pendant like this, which was sewn into the pocket of her underwear at the time, I think it may be left by her father and mother, and after reading it, I sewed it for her again, but I look at the words on it that seem to be a little different from the girl's piece."

"It's different, mine is a swallow word, and hers is a moon word. Old man, tell me, where Yue'er is, tell me quickly. Fang Lingyan grabbed the old woman's hand, and her eyes couldn't wait to look into the house, wanting to see her sister come out.

But I heard the old woman sigh and said: "Twelve years ago, our family bought a little girl, she said that her name was Yue'er, because our family's surname was Xiong, so she called her Xiong Yue'er, and later, the second stunned his father died, the family was poor, and he couldn't support him, and he just met an old doctor from Youfang, and the old doctor said that Yue'er had a relationship with him, so he spent some money and took her with him, and we were quite reluctant at that time." ”

"What kind of ethos do you have here, how can you have a son and still buy a daughter? I bought it, I sold it again". Jing Yunpeng couldn't help but be angry when he heard the old woman's words.

"Alas...... You don't know, there has been a plague in our place, many people have died, in order to continue the incense, many families buy half-grown children, and the large number of people is very good at work, and they make a fortune quickly. We can't afford to buy a son, so we buy such a girl, and you can get half a son when you get married in the future, the people in the mountains are honest, and they finally save some money, and they are all relatives who bought them, and they don't want to sell them casually, but she came to our house two years later, Erleng's father left, I really don't want to see her continue to suffer and be bullied with our orphans and widows, and I saw that the old doctor liked Yue'er very much, so I took him away. Yixi's words were sad, and looking at the low and dilapidated thatched hut behind her, most of the people present had dissipated even if they were angry.

"Old man, do you know what kind of person the old doctor is?"

"Uh...... I remember two years after we bought it, around this time, the old doctor came, and he had gray hair and beard, but he looked very energetic. He came to our house to spend the night, not to say that Yue'er had a fate with him, gave us a gold ingot, and took Yue'er away. ”

"Oh, thank you, old man, for taking your leave." Fang Lingyan was a little disappointed, the world was big, she didn't know where to find her sister, and she didn't know how many grievances she had suffered over the years, but fortunately, she finally knew that she was still alive, no matter what, she had to find her.
