Chapter 17: Uncle Fu's whereabouts

"The light gauze bead screen hangs a half-curtain, and a line of purple smoke rolls. The dragon is churning in the water clouds, and the thunder drum is noisy and shaking the universe. Passing through the mountain stream path, suddenly a waterfall poured down and met Hou Jin's eyes. The sound of "whooshing" came from afar, like a breeze blowing through the treetops, gradually approaching and ringing, and finally surging like a tide, overshadowing the noise of people and horses, and there was only a noisy sound of water between heaven and earth. But I saw that the upper end of the waterfall was folded into three stacks, as if a wide white horse was pouring down from the loom. The splash of water stirred up by the waterfall rises into the air like rain and mist, fluttering with the wind and floating all over the sky, reaching hundreds of meters high. Seeing such a spectacular scene, Hou Jin couldn't help but think of a poem by the ancients and blurted out. Hou Jin took Ying'er's little hand and walked down the stone steps to the west, until he came to the bottom of the valley and sat on a rock by the water. Very close to the waterfall, there is only a small green pool in the middle, Ying'er looked at such a scene, couldn't help but get up and came to the edge of the pool, stretched out her hand to hold the clear water and poured it on her face. The water droplets splashed from the waterfall into the valley bottom sprinkled directly on Ying'er's delicate and fair face, and she suddenly felt cold, and couldn't help but turn her head to Hou Jin and said, "Brother Jin, it's so comfortable, you can also wash your face." ”

The two rested for a while, then held hands and came to the waterfall together, carefully examining the style of the waterfall. But I saw the rapid splash of water, pouring down, like a galloping and roaring ten thousand wild horses breaking through the clouds, and like a fairy in mythology draped in silver veil, under the illumination of the slanting sun, dazzling.

Hou Jin couldn't help but praise: "The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days." "The beauty of nature is truly ingenious.

"Ying'er, look. The sky is so blue, so pleasant, so cool against the waterfall, and the white clouds are so soft and soft against the waterfall, like white cotton. The trees here are also so verdant, and against the backdrop of the waterfall, it is so eye-catching, like a turquoise jewel, shiny. Hou Jin raised his head and pointed to the sky and white clouds, and then pointed to the green trees around him, and said to Ying'er.

Ying'er put her hand in the water, looked down at the round pebbles at the bottom of the water, and suddenly felt that the waterfall was like a flowing crystal, and the splash was like a small white plum. couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful, the warbler has grown so big, I have never seen such a beautiful scenery, it is simply beautiful, like heaven on earth." ”

Hou Jin smiled and said: "This waterfall is a waterfall in southern Anhui, which is famous all over the world. However, there is another waterfall that is even more spectacular than the waterfall in southern Anhui. ”

Ying'er smiled brightly and asked, "Really? Is there anything more spectacular than this waterfall? ”

Hou Jin smiled heartily and said, "Shushan Waterfall." In this world, there are many fun, delicious food, and countless beautiful scenery, and I will take you all over the world in the future. Saying that, one of Hou Jin's hands began to climb up Ying'er's unbearable willow waist, Ying'er leaned on Hou Jin's shoulder, and the two of them stood quietly in front of the waterfall in this way, enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of them for a long time, they were really a pair of fairy couples.

When he wanted to go further and make other moves, Hou Jin suddenly had a spirit, shook his head, came to his senses, held Ying'er's delicate little face with both hands, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and let go of Ying'er casually. Xin said: "It's okay, sober up in time." The revenge has not been avenged, how can I be nostalgic for the gentle hometown? What's more, Uncle Tu just entrusted Ying'er to me, and I can't do anything too out of the ordinary before the official media is marrying Ying'er. ”

But immediately, in Hou Jin's inner world, another voice sounded: "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass." Putting such a seductive beauty by your side, without doing it, is really tyrannical. ”

"No, no! If it is out of line at this time, how can it be different from a beast? How can a warbler be so abrupt?" a voice argued.

In the end, Hou Jin still defeated his desire with reason, let go of Ying'er, took her beautiful little hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go on." ”

"Hmm. Ying'er's face was ruddy, and she replied as thin as a mosquito.

The two of them continued to climb up the canyon along the peak of the waterfall. Passing through the canyon mountain stream, a small crystal clear stream emerges. The stream rippled with laughter, as if welcoming the two. Step on a big rock in the stream and listen to the stream flowing under your feet. Ying'er felt a little tired, so Hou Jin stopped, and together with Ying'er, found a big stone by the stream and sat down. Ying'er took a handful of stream water, drank a sip, and suddenly a clear water into the heart, very sweet, there is a kind of pure soul cleansing soul and soul of the feeling of enlightenment, and suddenly feel a little tired.

Not far from the front of the creek, there is a simple wooden bridge. So, the two of them stepped forward, crossed the wooden bridge, and in front of them, a small wooden house appeared in front of them.

"The master told me that Uncle Fu came out of the canyon not far from the waterfall in southern Anhui, lived in seclusion, and has been waiting for me to come down the mountain. Four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I haven't been able to see Uncle Fu, and I am very worried. Hou Jin finally came to his destination, thinking that he would soon be able to see Uncle Fu, who he hadn't seen for a long time, not to mention how happy he was, so he quickened his pace and walked towards the cabin.

Ying'er couldn't keep up with Hou Jin's pace behind, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Brother Jin, don't go so fast, wait for me." ”

Hou Jin said with a smile: "Ying'er, you come over slowly, don't worry, I'll go to the house first to see if Uncle Fu is there." ”

After speaking, Hou Jin took three steps and two steps, one dodged, and cast a swift wind step, the speed was like a cheetah, Ying'er only had time to see Hou Jin's afterimage, and in the blink of an eye, he was already fifty steps away from Hou Jin.

Hou Jin ran to the door of the cabin, and the door was hidden. Hou Jin knocked lightly on the door a few times and shouted happily, "Uncle Fu, are you in the house?" After a while, no one in the house answered, and Hou Jin shouted several times in succession, only the echo of the valley was responding to Hou Jin, and there was still no answer in the house. Hou Jin wondered in his heart: "Isn't it that Uncle Fu went out to do something, and he happened to be not at home?"

Hou Jin looked in through the crack in the hidden door, and the room was dark and oppressive, and he couldn't see anything clearly. Suddenly, Hou Jin looked down at the eaves out of the corner of his eye, only to find that it was covered with spiders and dust. Looking at the gate again, there are still some dilapidated, judging from all kinds of scenes, this house should have been lived in for a long time, and suddenly a sense of loss came leisurely. Hou Jin was puzzled: "Master said that Uncle Fu lived in seclusion here, and no one has lived here for a long time?

At this time, Ying'er also walked to the front of the wooden house and asked, "Brother Jin, what's wrong?"

Hou Jin pointed to the eaves, and asked Ying'er to look at the door, Ying'er obviously saw the clue, and said: "Brother Jin, this room looks in disrepair, and no one has lived in it for a long time." ”

Hou Jin said: "It should be so. I just don't know, where did Uncle Fu go?"

Ying'er said: "Why don't we go in and have a look, maybe Uncle Fu has some letterhead or something left?"

"Good. Hou Jin responded. Then he gently pushed open the wooden door, and the two entered the house. Suddenly felt that they had come to a darkness, plus the two of them had been on the road for a day, it was a little late, the space in the house was not large, the light was dim, and I could barely see my fingers. Ying'er was panicked and a little scared, so she approached Hou Jin's back, a pair of soft and tight arms, and her body was inevitably squeezed together with Hou Jin's arms. Hou Jin learned that girls are generally afraid of the dark. So, he reached into his chest and touched his clothes, took out a fire fold, lit it, and blew it lightly, until the light in the room brightened a little.

Ying'er felt better at this time, and found that she was still holding Hou Jin's hand, and her body was tightly attached to Hou Jin's arm, and she quickly let go, feeling quite embarrassed for her gaffe.

The two of them took advantage of the light of the fire fold to look at the environment in the room. There was a bed in the house, and the bedding had rotted after a long period of weathering, and there was a strong smell of decay. There was a small table next to the bed, but it was dusty, and a few candles were placed on the table.

Just when Hou Jin was about to light a candle to light it, Ying'er didn't know why, with an "ah" scream, she was so frightened that she got into Hou Jin's arms tightly and hugged Hou Jin tightly, as if she was afraid that Hou Jin would leave her here alone.

At this time, the widow and the widow, in the same room, came to an intimate hug. However, Hou Jin didn't have any crooked thoughts at this time, just stroked Ying'er's little head with one hand, patted her back easily with the other, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Ying'er, Brother Jin is here." What's wrong with you? Why are you so scared all of a sudden?"

Ying'er hid in Hou Jin's wide arms, her body was trembling, and she said timidly: "Brother Jin, just now I found a few pairs of eyes staring at me, and they looked very hideous. Ying'er is so scared. ”

Hou Jin comforted Ying'er with kind words, and at the same time picked up the fire fold and lit the candle, the light in the room brightened, and when he looked at it, he found that it was two owls chasing bats. It is not surprising that owls are hunters in the dark, coming out at night and foraging at night.

Only then did Ying'er settle down, and hurriedly let go of Hou Jin, lowered her little head, and pinched the corners of her clothes with two beautiful soft wattles.

The two of them used the candlelight to clean up the house, but they didn't see anything like letters, Hou Jin was full of doubts in his heart: "Uncle Fu hasn't been back here for a long time, and he hasn't left any letters, where did he go?"

Then he took out the dry food from the package, divided some out and gave it to Ying'er, and said: "Ying'er, there is no store in the village in front of the village, and there must be no inns or restaurants nearby." Eat some dry food tonight and rest early. Tomorrow we will leave."

"Where are you going?" asked Ying'er.

"Of course, I'm going to find Uncle Fu. Hou Jin said.

"But there is a vast sea of people, and finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ying'er chewed slowly on the dry food and muttered in her mouth.

"I will definitely find Uncle Fu. Hou Jin said. In fact, Hou Jin has no bottom in his heart. Ying'er is right, in the vast sea of people, it is indeed difficult to find a person.

After the two of them finished eating, after walking for a day on the mountain road, Ying'er felt a little tired, so she fell asleep deeply. By the candlelight, Hou Jin sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Ying'er, who was like a sleeping beauty, with a happy smile on her face, stretched out a hand, stroked a strand of hair on Ying'er's forehead, and couldn't help lowering her head and kissing Ying'er's forehead.

"Ying'er, when I avenge my family revenge, we will return to the Tianshan faction, and we will go to marry the butcher Boti, the Ming media is marrying you and going home, and you will stay together. You have never seen the outside world, and when the time comes, you will travel all over the country and eat all the world's delicacies. Hou Jin whispered silently.

Immediately, Hou Jin sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and began his daily homework. Carrying the five elements of yin and yang, the internal force wanders in every corner of the body. Hou Jin tried to sprint towards the fifth layer: fire.

It is often said that real gold is not afraid of fire. In fact, it was because the flame was not warm enough to melt the gold. Hou Jin understood this truth, and began to try to transport the fire attribute internal breath, and suddenly, Hou Jin's face kept changing color, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, sometimes red, and sometimes back to normal complexion. Hou Jin felt that his body was like a stove, his whole body was unbearably hot, and after a while, sweat soaked through his clothes. Suddenly, Hou Jin felt that the five breaths of different attributes in his body were colliding, and the aftermath was rampaging in the inner world, turning the small universe upside down. A fork in the air, Hou Jin felt that his internal breath was disordered, it was difficult to breathe, and he was about to lose his breath. Afraid of an accident and going crazy, Hou Jin hurriedly called it a day, and suddenly the feeling of being unable to breathe disappeared, and his breath began to flow smoothly. I shivered again, in late autumn, the night was already cold, and my clothes were soaked, so I naturally shivered. Hou Jin hurriedly sat cross-legged again, exercising his breath, and the steaming heat began to rise on his body, like a steamer. After a while, Hou Jin felt warm all over his body, and his soaked clothes were dry at this time. In fact, Hou Jin had strayed into the misguided path of the Five Elements Avenue at this time. The so-called gold, wood, water, fire, and earth among the five elements, the attributes of the five elements are only the symbols of the five elements, and they are not linked to the real gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. On weekdays, Hou Jin must know this truth, but when people are on the way, they have practiced the exercises for a long time, and when they encounter bottlenecks, they are easy to be confused.

Hou Jin turned his head to look at the "Sleeping Beauty" and found that this Nizi's face was slightly red, which was probably caused by Hou Jin's fire attribute internal strength just now, and he slept more comfortably and heavily. Afraid that the nightingale would catch a cold in the second half of the night, Hou Jin took off his coat, gently covered Ying'er, smiled slightly, and sat on the edge of the bed, leaning on the small table next to the bed and taking a nap.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the cracks in the cabin, and the otherwise dim interior of the house was now bright and transparent. Outside, in the treetops, the birds began to show their songs. Chirping, chirping, wooing, all kinds of cries come and go, so lively.

Hou Jin was also woken up by the bird's cry and was about to get up, but saw that the coat that was originally covering Ying'er's body was draped over his shoulders at this time. Hou Jin rubbed his eyes, turned around and saw that the bed was empty, and Ying'er was nowhere to be seen. Hou Jin was shocked, jumped up, and was just about to call out to Ying'er, but saw a very nice and soft voice from outside the house: "Brother Jin, are you awake?" Hou Jin fixed his eyes and saw that there was a tall and slender girl standing at the door, with a sweet smile on her face, looking at herself vividly.

"Silly girl, where have you been?" Hou Jin asked with relief when he saw that Ying'er was there.

"Brother Jin, are you worried about Ying'er?" Ying'er walked into the house, came to Hou Jin, and asked with a smile.

"I ......" Hou Jin was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond. However, he reacted sensitively and immediately said, "I'm naturally worried about you." Uncle Tu entrusted you to me, and I naturally have the obligation to take care of you. If you have an accident, how will you explain to Master Tu after you return to the Tianshan Sect?"

"Is it just like this?" Ying'er couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart when she heard this, but the unhappiness on her face flashed away, and it was difficult for people to notice.

Hou Jin knew Ying'er's heart for him, and he also loved her, Ying'er's face was naturally caught by Hou Jin, and he quickly changed his words: "Silly girl, do you know? I didn't see you just now, and this is in the barren mountains and mountains, I'm very anxious." If you're gone, I'll go crazy all over the world looking for you. ”

"Really?" asked Ying'er with a bright smile on her face.

"That's nature. Isn't it steamed or boiled?" Hou Jin saw that Ying'er was happy, and deliberately made a joke to tease this little girl.

"Well, Brother Jin, are you so bad! Do you know how to have fun with Ying'er?" Ying'er grabbed Hou Jin's sleeve and shook it, her face shy. It's just that Ying'er doesn't know that the coquettishness she naturally exudes has infinite lethality to men in the world. Hou Jin watched stupidly.

Ying'er lowered her head, shy, leaned her head lightly on Hou Jin's shoulder, and said as thin as a mosquito: "It's very cold in the late autumn night, why didn't my brother sleep in bed last night, but he was napping?

Hou Jin looked down at Ying'er in his arms, Ying'er, who has always been reserved and shy, why did she have the audacity to say such a thing today. If a woman meets a beloved man, she will love without scruples, and is willing to give everything she has for the man she loves, including her innocent body, as long as her beloved wants it, she will give it at any time, even if she is covered in bruises. What is reserved, what is shy? will be left behind. Since Ying'er first met Hou Jin, she had a good impression of this tall, handsome, witty and humorous man. Later, when they met several times in the Tianshan faction, Ying'er had a deep affection for Hou Jin. Hou Jin's amazing performance in the martial arts conference opened the love window for a young girl, and since then she has fallen in love with this handsome and chic, strong martial arts, witty and humorous man, very pleasing to girls.

Leaving the Tianshan faction for more than a month, lonely men and widows walked all the way, although Hou Jin was a little lustful, but he was also very regular, even if he sometimes hugged and hugged, but he never crossed the thunder pond and behaved excessively to Ying'er. This made Ying'er's heart even more determined: in this life, he decided that Hou Jin, and he would not marry.

Hou Jin whispered softly: "It's okay, I get acquainted with my body, and I don't catch a cold so easily." As long as Ying'er is well, it's fine. ”

When Ying'er heard this, her heart was sweet, like eating honey. whispered: "Ying'er doesn't mind." The master has promised Ying'er to enter her brother, anyway, Ying'er will be the one who enters her brother sooner or later. If Brother Jin wants to do something, Ying'er will not refuse. After speaking, he buried his little head deep in Hou Jin's chest, did not dare to look directly at Hou Jin, and said in his heart: "What's wrong with me? A girl actually said such bold and explicit words? Hey, I'm ashamed." ”

Hou Jin looked at the soft and boneless beauty in his arms, and said, "Having said that." However, when we return to the Tianshan faction, Brother Jin will propose to the butcher and marry Ying'er Mingmei. At this moment, Ying'er is so fresh and refined, a good girl with ice and jade, how can Hou Jin be rude?"

After a while, Ying'er suddenly felt her little belly growl, and her stomach was swirling, and a feeling of hunger hit. Ying'er came out of Hou Jin's arms and said embarrassedly: "Brother Jin, Ying'er is hungry." ”

"A delicate little girl who has never left the mountain gate for half a step. Now that I have been away from the mountain gate for more than a month, I often live a life of using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed? How can I endure the hardships of sleeping in the open air? It is really difficult for her. Hou Jin said in his heart. Hearing Ying'er crying hungry, she smiled and said, "Girl, let's go out to get some game, roast and eat, how about it?"

"Okay, okay, let's go, brother!" Ying'er was full of interest, danced happily, pulled Hou Jin's sleeve, and was about to go out of the house.

Hou Jin shook his head, smiled, and walked outside the house, and the two went in search of game. But what Hou Jin didn't know was that there was a dark shadow who had been following Hou Jin and the two for more than a month. It's just that there is no trace of it, just with Hou Jin's martial arts that are now comparable to the first-class masters of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes, for so long, but no one has been found to have attempted, it is conceivable how unfathomable this person's martial arts cultivation should be. If it is unfavorable to Hou Jin and the others, I am afraid that Hou Jin will be killed in seconds if he can't even catch his move. watched the two go out, and followed lightly.

After a while, Hou Jin and the others had gained a lot, carrying a roe deer, two pheasants, and three hares, and were about to return to the cabin with great interest. Suddenly, Hou Jin stopped and looked around.

Ying'er looked at Hou Jin, and the fox asked, "What's wrong?"

"Wait, it looks like someone is following us. Hou Jin whispered in his ear.

When Ying'er heard this, she grabbed Hou Jin's sleeve tightly, and said timidly: "Brother Jin, there are barren mountains and mountains here, and there is no store in front of the village or behind the village, don't you scare Ying'er?"

Hou Jin comforted: "Ying'er is not afraid, there is Brother Jin." He reached out and patted Ying'er on the back. Seeing that Ying'er was at ease, she raised her voice and said, "Who is the master? Hiding and tucking away is not a gentleman's behavior. But no one responded, only a loud echo echoed in the mountains and forests. Hou Jin shouted a few more times, and it was still the same. Suddenly, Hou Jin dodged, cast a swift step, quickly went to a cheetah, and in the blink of an eye, he ran out of a distance of fifty paces, looking in one direction. But there was no shadow to be seen, only a flock of birds, frightened, flapping their wings and flying into the distance. Hou Jin didn't dare to leave Ying'er alone for too long, so he turned back to Ying'er.

Ying'er asked, "Brother Jin, did you find anything?"

Hou Jin shook his head and replied, "No." It's just that I felt like someone was following us just now, and I looked for it, but I didn't see anything. Let's go, let's go back, maybe I'm too sensitive. ”

Ying'er let out an "oh" and followed Hou Jin. The two returned to the cabin.

Hou Jin took the game to the stream, washed and peeled it, set up a fire outside the house, skewered the game, and roasted it on the fire, turning it over and over. After a while, the game was roasted and browned, and a drop of oil came out, making a sizzling sound and fragrant.

Ying'er saw that her appetite was aroused and she swallowed her saliva. Hou Jin smiled, blew a roasted hare, handed it to Ying'er, and said, "Here, you're hungry, right?" ”

Ying'er took the game handed by Hou Jin, blew the hot air that came out, chewed it and swallowed it slowly, and the cherry mouth was covered with greasy.

Hou Jin laughed: "Is it delicious?"

Ying'er chewed on the game in her mouth, and said indistinctly: "Well, it's delicious! It's delicious! Ying'er has never eaten so delicious." "The Tianshan faction is all people who practice martial arts, and their days are already bitter and dull, and they are used to coarse tea and light rice. At this time, Ying'er tasted wild meat for the first time, and suddenly felt that it was simply a delicacy in the world, and she was full of praise.

Hou Jin smiled, looked at Ying'er's bulging little mouth stuffed with game, and said, "Eat more if it's delicious, there are still here." ”

"What do you say? You're so bad. Ying'er muttered a small mouth, dissatisfied.

All women in the world love beauty, what girl likes to be told that she is fat? Hou Jin realized that he was quick to speak for a while and said the wrong thing. hurriedly smiled and said: "My good sister Ying'er is not fat, Ying'er is the most beautiful woman in the world." ”

When Ying'er heard this, her face turned red all of a sudden, and the shyness of wanting to refuse and welcome was really pitiful. Ying'er said in a thin voice: "Brother Jin, you are so bad, who is your sister Ying'er?

Hou Jin laughed, stopped talking, and devoured the game. After a while, the wind swept away, and a big roe deer was gnawed to the skeleton. Ying'er was dumbfounded, is this still the personable and polite brother who entered the elder brother on weekdays?

Hou Jin saw Ying'er staring at him with a pair of beautiful big eyes, so he understood what was going on, and smiled as a response. "Have you eaten enough?"

Ying'er touched her flat little belly and said coquettishly, "I'm so full." Ying'er had never eaten anything so delicious. ”

Hou Jin smiled: "It's delicious! It's more delicious than this!"

Ying'er showed a bright smile, and her little white face was particularly delicate and touching under the sun. Laughing: "Really?"

Hou Jin was stunned and said, "Of course! In the future, Brother Jin will take you to eat all the delicacies in the world." ”

The warbler child's heart was moved, stretched out her jade-like tender hand, and said coquettishly: "This is what Brother Jin said, come, let's pull the hook! ”

Hou Jin also stretched out his hand, and the little fingers of the two were hooked together, and they said in unison: "Pull the hook, it will not change for a hundred years." Then the warbler let out a coquettish laugh, which sounded very good, like a oriole, like her name.

The two of them had eaten and drunk enough, packed up, and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Hou Jin seemed to see something, and his eyes never left, staring closely, his eyes full of anger. Seeing this, Ying'er took a big jump, and hurriedly grabbed Hou Jin's sleeve and shook it, calling out in her mouth: "Brother Jin, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Ying'er." ”

Hearing Ying'er's call, Hou Jin's face returned to normal, and he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Ying'er." Scares you, right?"

Seeing that Hou Jin's expression returned to normal, Ying'er muttered a cherry mouth and said angrily: "What else do you say? Brother Jin, you looked so terrible just now." What's wrong with you?"

It turned out that just as the two were about to leave, Hou Jin's afterglow saw that there was a plum blossom mark in an inconspicuous corner. It was this plum blossom mark that reminded Hou Jin of the deep hatred of the sea of blood. This mark has been deeply engraved in Hou Jin's heart and will never be forgotten. Therefore, Fang Cai's face was hideous and full of murderous aura.

Ying'er was puzzled in her heart, why the gentle brother Jin was so angry when he saw this plum blossom. But soon Hou Jin briefly talked about his experience, and Ying'er suddenly felt distressed about Hou Jin, and comforted him softly.

"Uncle Fu hasn't lived here for a long time, isn't it?" Hou Jin had a bad premonition in his heart, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while. Not daring to think about it anymore, Hou Jin hurriedly held Ying'er in one hand and a compass in the other, all the way to the west, down the mountain......
