Chapter 54

After half a decade of rushing, Lin Anyan and the three finally came to the foot of Taibai Mountain.

Situ Xiao pointed ahead and said, "Over that small hill, there will be a village called Baitou Village, which is the closest village to the peaks of Taibai Mountain." Let's speed up, and we will arrive at noon. ”

During this time, Situ Xiao's internal strength has recovered seventy or eighty percent, but his legs and feet have been inconvenient because of the deep wounds, so he can only have Lin Anyan and Qi Liyun take turns to support him.

Qi Liyun is okay to say, her internal strength is not as strong as Situ Xiao, not to mention that she drank the least tea at that time, and the poisoning was also the shallowest at that time, and she has basically fully recovered at this moment, not to mention supporting Situ Xiao, even if she is carried on her for ten miles and eight miles, I am afraid it will be no problem.

But Lin Anyan is bitter, as time goes by, the two internal forces in his body seem to be very tacit for some reason are slowly hidden, this morning he secretly used his luck, but found that he couldn't even cut off a branch with a finger, and it seemed that he had returned to the original son of a gentleman who had no internal strength.

Although Lin Anyan didn't say it, Situ Xiao's heart was like a mirror.

Qi Liyun was exploring the way ahead, Lin Anyan helped Situ Xiao to limp behind, Situ Xiao said softly: "Lin Gongzi, I have seen that your physical strength has become more and more insufficient recently, and you have not gone far You have already sweated, are you unwell?"

Lin Anyan thought that he was about to apprentice, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches at this time, so he said casually: "It's just that this clothes are too heavy, hot, hot." ”

Situ Xiao shook his head and said, "You deceived Li Yun, but you couldn't fool me." I don't know why there are two internal forces in your body, which is not logical, normally speaking, you don't say that you were broken through by the internal force and burst to death, at least you should have severe pain in your body, but during this time you are like no one. Honestly, what's going on?"

Lin Anyan saw that he couldn't hide Situ Xiao, and he was afraid that Qi Liyun would be worried when he heard it, so he approached and whispered: "I seem to have lost all my internal strength." ”

When Situ Xiao heard this, he first glanced at Lin Anyan suspiciously, then grabbed his wrist to check his pulse, and muttered: "Strange, so strange." ”

Lin Anyan looked at Situ Xiao a little nervously, and after a while, Situ Xiao let go of his hand and said slowly: "Judging from your pulse, it is true that there is no internal force. ”

When Lin Anyan heard this, he couldn't help but feel very disappointed, but Situ Xiao continued: "But your pulse is not like an ordinary person, or rather, I have never seen such a pulse in my twenty years of walking in the rivers and lakes. ”

Situ Xiao said, and couldn't help shaking the lost feather fan in his hand.

Lin Anyan looked speechless, this Taibai Mountain is in the northernmost part of the Central Plains, although it is not winter at this time, it is also late autumn, the three of them are all heavy fur, Situ Xiao is still fanning, it is really incomprehensible.

Situ Xiao thought for a while and said, "I once heard a legend that there is a secret technique in the Western Regions that can transfer the souls of the dead to the living, so as to resurrect the dead. But this secret art must be done while the body of the dead is not rotten, and the living must be willing, otherwise the soul will not possess the body, there will be no soul in the body, the living will die, and the dead will be scattered. ”

Lin Anyan listened to these unprovoked words, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then military advisor, look, am my body not like Lin Anyan, or my soul is not like Lin Anyan?"

Situ Xiao also laughed and said: "I just suddenly remembered that the two internal forces in your body seem to be like two people fused into one, so I have this to say." The legends of the rivers and lakes are not credible. ”

Qi Liyun, who had been exploring the way ahead, suddenly stopped and turned around to interrupt the conversation between the two men.

She pointed ahead and said, "Strategist, is that a Baitou village?" ”

Lin Anyan looked in the direction of her finger, and saw a small village, built in front of it, and the distance from the peaks of Taibai Mountain was only one or twenty miles.

Situ Xiao smiled and nodded, and the feather fan pointed to a family and said, "Go there, I have a friend." ”

The three of them listened to Situ Xiao's instructions and came to the courtyard of a family.

Lin Anyan saw that the courtyard wall seemed to be made of mud, the courtyard wall was quite high, but the gate was relatively low, in short, it was a standard northern rural home, and there was nothing special.

Situ Xiao looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

With that, he limped to the door and gently clicked the knocker. After a while, a peasant girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old gently opened half of the door and looked at the three strangers in front of her with some confusion.

Situ Xiao was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl, and then seemed to understand something, and asked softly, "Little girl, is this the Ye family?"

The girl nodded and looked at the trio, "Are you my father's friends?"

After receiving Situ Xiao's affirmative reply, the girl hurriedly opened the door with great culture, respectfully invited the three of them into the courtyard, and ran back to the house to prepare to make tea.

Lin Anyan sat on the small wooden tie in the courtyard to rest, and asked with some doubts: "Master Situ, you have friends in such a corner place." ”

Situ Xiao nodded and said: "You also know what Taibai Mountain means to us, so I started to lay out here very early, and I happened to encounter this family in trouble at that time, so I helped a little, and I knew each other." ”

The girl quickly made the tea and served it, and the rural people naturally did not pay much attention to drinking tea, the tea bowl was an ordinary rice bowl, and the tea was just ordinary green tea.

But Lin Anyan walked all the way, and he sweated profusely, which would make him feel extremely cold when he sat down, and he only felt that he would not change his money when he had a bowl of hot tea.

Seeing that the three of them had drunk tea to warm their bodies, the girl whispered again: "Three of you, please rest for a while, my father went into the mountains to hunt, I'm afraid he won't be back until later." ”

I didn't look carefully at it just now, Lin Anyan looked at it again at the moment, and only felt that this girl was born slim, although she was wrapped in heavy cotton clothes, she could also see that her figure was not inferior to Qi Liyun, her face was beautiful, and her skin was white and red, which was very cute.

Lin Anyan looked a little distracted, and suddenly felt pain in his left foot, he looked back, it turned out that Qi Liyun was stepping on his foot, looking at him with a smile.

"I'm grass, Qi Nuxia, do you feel a little bit awkward?"

"Yes? No, the yard is quite flat. ”

As he spoke, Qi Liyun secretly exerted his strength, and stepped on Lin Anyan's foot and twisted it a few times.

Lin Anyan frowned in pain, and said softly: "Qi Nuxia, what are you doing here?"

Qi Liyun said with some displeasure: "I just remind Master Lin that the eyes are on your head, not on your lower body." If you stare at the little girl again, they will think that we are some kind of unrighteous people. ”

Lin Anyan shook his head, and whispered a little helplessly: "Women are really, they are jealous when they are jealous, and they say so much." ”

Qi Liyun frowned and whispered, "What did you say?" As he spoke, he raised his feet and was about to step on it, so Lin Anyan had no choice but to beg for mercy.

Situ Xiao and the girl didn't notice what was happening behind them, Situ Xiao looked at the girl sitting there silently wiping the table and asked softly, "Little sister, are you called Ye Yingying?"

The girl nodded suspiciously and asked, "Yingying was familiar with her husband just now, and now she recognizes me again, but has he ever seen me?"

Situ Xiao nodded and said, "My name is Situ Xiao, you should have seen me a few times when you were a child, but it is estimated that it has been more than ten years, you are afraid that you have forgotten." ”

Hearing the words "Situ Xiao", the girl stood up violently, and the rag in her hand fell to the ground.

The girl slowly walked closer, stared at Situ Xiao for a long time, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Ye Yingying has seen Engong!"

Ye Yingying's sudden kneeling made Lin Anyan a little confused, he glanced at Qi Liyun suspiciously, and the latter also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything.

"Yingying, don't be like this, I didn't do anything, I can't stand it. You get up, you get up. ”

Situ Xiao pulled Ye Yingying to sit beside him, and asked with some guilt, "Your mother, ...... When did you leave?"

Ye Yingying was already excited, but when she mentioned her mother at this moment, tears flowed down instantly. She sobbed and said, "Mother has been gone for more than ten years. ”

When they heard this, they were silent.

After a long time, Situ Xiao opened his mouth to explain: "Seventeen years ago, when I came to Taibai Mountain, I happened to meet Ye Fuzhong and his wife, that is, Yingying's parents. Then...... At that time, they were in some trouble, and although I helped them, unfortunately Mrs. Ye was still injured. ”

At that time, Mrs. Ye was already pregnant, but her body, let alone giving birth, was afraid that she would not even be able to save herself. Fortunately, I brought a life-sustaining elixir at that time, called the elixir of deception, which can be regarded as saving the lives of their mother and daughter. ”

Speaking of this, Situ Xiao suddenly stopped, his face full of guilt, "Later, I basically came to deliver medicine every once in a while, but unfortunately my whereabouts were detected by the Great Liang Imperial City Division, so they sent people to this village to arrest me, although I escaped, but I couldn't come after that, and it was more than ten years since then." ”

Situ Xiao looked at Ye Yingying and apologized softly, "I'm sorry, Yingying, I still couldn't save your mother's life." ”

Ye Yingying shook her head, wiped away her tears and said: "Dad said, if it weren't for Engong's action, my mother would not have lived so long, let alone give birth to me, Engong doesn't owe my family, but my Ye family can't repay Engong's affection anyway!"

Saying that, Ye Yingying was about to kneel down again, but Situ Xiao hurriedly supported her. The old man and the young who hadn't seen each other for a long time talked about a lot of old things.

Qi Liyun was moved by the scene in front of him, and wanted to say something to Lin Anyan, but when he turned his head, he saw Lin Anyan sitting there with a serious face, indifferent.

Qi Liyun, who couldn't see it, gently pushed Lin Anyan and complained in a low voice: "This Ye Yingying's life is broken, why don't you have any compassion at all?"

Lin Anyan didn't answer her directly, but shook his head and said, "Ye Fuzhong, it's such a familiar name, I seem to have heard it somewhere." ”
