The next day, everyone met, Yan Song asked Lu Chuan about his intention, Lu Chuan didn't say anything else, only said that let the eldest brother keep filial piety at home, now the world is chaotic, don't go out to be an official, wait a few years, a letter to ask you to come out of the mountain, you will be born again. Arrange for Xiong Bi Nan to live in Yan Mansion and protect Yan Song well. After lunch, a group of seven people got up.

Out of the Fenyi, through Hengyang, all the way to the west, not a day to Cheng Fanfu, Longchang Station in Cheng Fanfu under the rule of Xiuwen County. Sent here, the task of Lu Chuan's people is completed. Standing at the door of Longchang Station, thinking back on the journey along the way, everyone was happy and sad. Xi Zhixi was safe and sound all the way, and finally arrived here, sad and sad, what kind of place is this? I saw thorns and thorns outside, deserted, and the Han and Miao people on the road had a fierce look on their faces, and they were not good stubble at first glance.

Wang Shouren looked at the dilapidated post station, sighed, took the burden from Wang Shouzhang's hand, and turned around to go inside.

"Senior brother stays. ”

Wang Shouren turned his head to look at Lu Chuan, and said with a wry smile: "We will eventually separate, you should leave quickly." ”

Lu Chuan also smiled bitterly, "Senior brother, you see that this place is broken like this, how do you live, if you want to come and even cook the rice noodles for soup, you should take advantage of the large number of people and go to the county seat to buy some for you." ”

Wang Shouren thought about it, so the seven brothers rushed to the county seat again. Finally found a tavern, don't look at the tavern storefront, the guys who run the hall are all strong men in their twenties, clean and tidy, full of energy. Not only that, but a young woman on the counter, dressed up in fancy clothes, was settling accounts there, and when she saw everyone, she smiled slightly, her eyes were really full of spring. It's nice to see such characters in a place where birds don't.

Tong Yinhuai smiled and quipped: "Lord Wang, don't look at the broken Longchang Post House, you didn't come to this place in vain." Anyway, it's okay, I think you might as well run around here, you get acquainted with each other, you two, just get married, and she will give you a big fat boy next year, you are a family of three, why not do it, don't you say it?"

Wang Shouren is a righteous man and a gentleman, how can he have such a mind? Hearing this, he couldn't help but blush, coughed with phlegm, and said: "Don't talk nonsense! I already have a wife, can An have such a dirty mind?"

Lu Chuan saw that the parting feeling was heavy, so he also laughed and said: "Senior brother, how can a manly man not have three wives and four concubines? Don't say one, you just have a few more, your sister-in-law is so virtuous, can you still agree? I see, you two will start from now and live a good life." Lady, do you say so?"

The female shopkeeper blushed and glanced at Lu Chuan, but she was not angry.

This is good, as soon as Lu Chuan and Tong Yinhuai began, these bad boys got off the road, "Dare to ask, where does the lady's family live, how old is Fang, can there be a marriage match?"

"Look at us, we are dignified, and we are talented ......"

"I won't tell you, he's still an official master, and you won't have to suffer if you follow him......"

Wang Shouren's face was flushed, his eyes were dry, and he held his breath, but there was no way. In fact, he also knew that this was because the brothers did not want to separate, and they were happy in suffering. didn't say much, just pushed away the crowd, went over to find a table and chair by the window and sat down.

Lu Chuan and others also followed, and after sitting down, they asked for a table of wine, and everyone chatted, and saw the female shopkeeper take the altar of wine, move the lotus step lightly, and walk towards them.

Wang Shouzhang was still laughing on the side, "Big brother, you see that this female shopkeeper has taken a fancy to you......" Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by Wang Shouren from the back of the head.

Everyone looked at the female shopkeeper happily, only to see that the female shopkeeper came closer, fluttering and blessed, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a custom here, but all guests who enter the store must drink three bowls full, and then eat." I think a few of them seem to be from the original, I don't know if you dare to do it?" he poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Wang Shouren with both hands.

Everyone in Lu Chuan is a red-faced man, how can she let a little woman squeeze her words? "I'll drink!" Wang Shouzhang stood up and was about to grab the wine, but was kicked by Tong Yinhuai under the table, "Waiting for you! Do you understand the orderliness of the elders and young? Everyone present is older than you, can it be your turn to drink first?"

When Wang Shouzhang saw the second brother talking, he didn't dare to stiffen his mouth, and sat down with a grin.

Wang Shouren was just about to receive the wine, but he was grabbed by a hand on the wrist, and at a glance, it was Lu Chuan. I saw Lu Chuan smile and said: "Senior brother, you are the junior brother Yue Li, I have to drink this first bowl of wine, why? I have to respect the senior brother first, I wish the senior brother a safe and smooth here, and ascend as soon as possible." As he spoke, he took the bowl and lowered his neck.

The female shopkeeper poured again, Lu Chuan continued to drink, and drank three bowls in one go.

The female shopkeeper then poured the fourth bowl, and Wang Shouren just wanted to pick it up, but his wrist was grabbed by Lu Chuan again.

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, and his heart spoke, "What's wrong with my brother?" Why are you so greedy? Thinking about it again, what else could it be? Isn't it still for me? My brother doesn't worry about me, and he feels sad!

Thinking of this, Wang Shouren gently pushed Lu Chuan's hand and said with a smile: "Senior brother, let me drink this bowl of wine." ”

Without pushing it away, Wang Shouren was taken aback, only to feel that Lu Chuan's hands were extremely cold, similar to pig iron, and then looked at Lu Chuan's face, his whole face was red.

"Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, "It's not much, it's just that the little brother suddenly remembered something." Now is not the time to eat, you hurry up and go with me!" said without saying anything, and dragged Wang Shouren to rush out the door. The others didn't know why, but Lu Chuan and Wang Shouren were gone, and they couldn't sit and eat here. Tong Yinhuai threw down a silver ingot, turned around and chased after him, followed by the others.

When he arrived outside the Longchang Station in one breath, he saw Lu Chuan holding his stomach, squatting by the wall and bowing his head silently. Everyone came to take a look, ouch, Lu Chuan's face was a little distorted, he gritted his teeth, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down.

Wang Shouren asked anxiously on the side, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

The others also asked, but no matter how they asked, Lu Chuan was silent. How else can I say it, Lu Chuan is about to faint in pain, and he is mobilizing all his strength to avoid drugs here, where can he speak?

Just when everyone was at a loss, they heard the sound of footsteps in the Longchang Station, dragging and dragging, and a broken old man turned out after a while. Looking at his age, he is not much worse than ninety, his face is full of dust, his beard is felt, he is wearing shabby knee-length narrow sleeves, one sleeve is empty and pinned to his waist, and he still looks disabled.

But at this time, Lu Chuan fell, and the other brothers had to be on guard. "Who are you?" Tong Yinhuai shouted, dragging the dagger and jumping in front of the old man, and the five brothers protected Lu Chuan and Wang Shouren in the center.

The old man was so frightened that he took two steps back, stood with his palms, and protected his chest, but at first glance the posture was a crop handle. "You...... Who are you?"

Tong Yinhuai is also a person who has been a great enemy for a long time, and he can see at a glance that the old man does not know martial arts, so he put his mind at ease, looked at the old man again, and said: "We are escorting Lord Longchang Yiyi to take up his post." ”

When the old man heard this, he snorted and laughed, "Yicheng is still called an adult, and that thing is still called an official?"

Hearing the old man say this, Wang Shouren blushed. It's not, the post is not in the product, what kind of official is that thing called.

Tong Yinhuai said, "Old man, Yicheng is not an official, so what kind of official are you?"

"I, I'm a post guard here. ”

Tong Yinhuai was also happy, "You are not as good as him." In that case, let's not laugh at anyone. I said, is there a room here? Is there hot water? We have one of us who is sick and needs to rest. ”

"Hehe, look at what you said, do we have a first-class banquet here, do we still have hot water? There are empty rooms, but they haven't been cleaned up, if you can make do with it, you can clean it up yourself." But ......"

"But what?"

"But I don't think your friend is sick. ”

"Doesn't it look like a disease?

"Looking at the way he covered his stomach, I'm afraid it was poisoning. ”

"Nonsense, my brother is not poisonous, how can he be poisoned?"

"I said you're not very old, why do you talk confused. People eat grains and grains and produce all kinds of diseases, how can there be any poison that does not invade. To tell you the truth, there are insects in the water, miasma in the woods, and some food is poisonous and poisonous, and if you are not a local, there is no way to prevent it. ”

"Then you have to hurry up and find Lang Zhong for treatment, old man, where do you have Lang Zhong here?"

"Lang Zhong, but it's all in the mountains, you come and go, if you ...... faster"

"How long will it take to get there?"

"If you come back soon, just in time for your friend's funeral, I guess I'll just run out of breath at that time. ”

Tong Yinhuai almost lost his breath when he heard this, and his heart spoke, he was angry, what did I ask him to do? It is better to directly hire a delivery craftsman and see a good place with good feng shui and bury it! But complaining is complaining, Lu Chuan's life is important, so he simply carried Lu Chuan into the mountain, if he can find Lang Zhong successfully, he may be cured.

Thinking of this, Tong Yinhuai said, "Old man, please point me in the direction, let's leave, as for whether we can find it, it is fate." ”

The old man looked at Lu Chuan again, rolled his eyelids and shook his head after thinking about it, "That's not good, Lang Zhong often goes to the mountains to collect medicine, and says that if he doesn't come back in a few days, he won't come back in a few days, but there is nowhere to find it." ”

"Old man, what do you say? Do you mean that I will dig a pit on the spot and bury it? I won't tell you, even if anyone dies, he can't die! Brothers, don't stand still, let's take turns carrying the sixth man into the mountain, and if we can find Lang Zhong to cure the disease, we are all very happy, if we can't find it or can't be cured, none of the six of us will want to live! Let's go!"

Ke Juxian was just about to go to Beiluchuan, when he heard the old man muttering behind him: "Oh, I said why is the world so chaotic now, it turns out that people are blind." I don't know what sins I created in my previous life when I was young, and it's pitiful to end up like this. ”

As soon as Tong Yinhuai heard what the old man said, he quickly stopped everyone, came to the old man for the second time, crossed his waist and asked, "Old man, who are you muttering about?"

The old man sneered, "So you can hear me, that's really embarrassing." ”

Tong Yinhuai almost ran out of breath, and said in his heart that this is not nonsense, if I can't hear it, I can talk to you for a long time?

"Old man, let's bend our bows and shoot arrows straight, and if we have anything to say in person, you can say that there is any way to save my brother. I, Tong Yinhuai, have been polite and inconsiderate, so I'm here to compensate you!" he said and swept the floor.

The old man gave him a salute with his beard in his hand, and then smiled and said, "Son, you are a troublemaker." Why don't you want to think about how my old man lived to this age when Langzhong is so hard to find?"

Tong Yinhuai is also a smart person, and he can see through a little. Hearing the old man say this, he patted his head, "I'm really, I'm in a hurry, there is a life-saving living Bodhisattva in front of me, what else are you looking for?" Old man, if you have any recipe, please come up with it, as long as we can cure my brother, we will be grateful. ”

The old man waved his hand, "Thank you for free, I'm a person buried in the loess above my neck, what's the use of asking for money." Besides, human life is at stake, and if I negotiate with you about the price here, won't I become a bandit?"

The old man talked for a long time, but he didn't say how to save Lu Chuan, Tong Yinhuai was in a hurry, laughed dryly, and said: "Old man, thank you or not, let's discuss it again, your ...... Do you have to take it out first?"

The old man also patted his head, "Ouch, you say, this person just can't be old, and when he gets old, he is confused, patronizing and talking, and almost forgets to get down to business." I remember that I still have antidote pills on my body, you let me look for ......" I touched it for a long time, and then I found a pill in my arms, which was black, if you didn't know that it was medicine, I thought it was the mud pill that the old man rubbed off his body for half a day.

The old man took the pill with his dirty hand and came over to feed it to Lu Chuan's mouth, Tong Yinhuai didn't do it, stopped the old man with his cross arm, and asked: "Old man, it's not that my surname Tong doesn't believe you, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people, we have to be careful and careful when we go out, if you still have this medicine, give me another one, I'll eat it first, and then you feed it to my brother after eating." ”

The old man just frowned, "What you said makes sense, but, unfortunately, I only have such a pill left, and I'm afraid it will take ten days and half a month to match it." ”

Tong Yinhuai looked at Lu Chuan, then at the pills, and when he was in distress, he heard a whistle sound in the Longchang Post Courtyard, and then a group of people rushed out from outside the courtyard, it seemed that there were no less than 100 people, and they surrounded them all in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Tong Yinhuai also understood, and couldn't help but be angry, "Old horseman, you dare to harm people, take it away!"

"Wronged...... Wronged......" The old man shouted and retreated, and one of them tripped over the broken bricks and tiles on the ground and fell backwards. This fall just dodged Tong Yinhuai's fatal blow.

Tong Yinhuai's eyes were red at this time, and he missed the blow, and the dagger turned at the old man's stomach again. I don't know how to do it, but I happened to trip over the old man's foot while lifting my feet, and I suddenly stood unsteadily, and fell straight down towards the old man. In fact, it's okay, the old man is lying on the ground, he is lying on his stomach like this, and the dagger just stabs the old man's heart, and it saves trouble. When he saw that the dagger was about to touch the old man's clothes, the old man's legs bent, and his knees were just on his Tanzhong acupoint. Tong Yinhuai only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was suddenly unconscious.

The old man quickly stood up from the ground, and looked at Tong Yinhuai on the ground vigilantly, his chest rising and falling, obviously frightened. Seeing that Tong Yinhuai had not moved for a long time, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back at everyone, they were all disrupted. There are five circles in front of the post house, more than 20 people surround Lu Chuan and Wang Shouren, and the other four people have also been dispersed by the comers, each surrounded by more than ten people.

The old man sighed secretly, ripped off the clothes outside, revealing a tights underneath, and then looked at it, his back was not hunched, his waist was straight, and the original pair of faint old eyes shot out two fine lights, and his toes touched the ground, and he went straight to the battle group where Lu Chuan was.

But said Lu Chuan, although he still can't move, but his mind is clear, he heard everyone speak clearly, and then he heard the footsteps chaotic, so he raised his head, and saw the scene of Tong Yinhuai and the old man fighting, if you don't look at it, you can't help but be taken aback. Although the old man's movements were very cleverly concealed, he knew at a glance that this person must be a great swordsman! Sure enough, time was not enough, only to see the group of people surrounding them from the outside in chaos, and after a short time, the old man killed in front of him, shot like lightning, opened Wang Shouren with one palm, put the pill on his lap, turned around and killed it again, and that body was like a ghost.

Lu Chuan had already understood nine times out of ten by this time, endured the pain, took the pill, meditated cross-legged, only to hear the sound of killing in his ears, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw all the brothers squatting beside him, looking at himself, and there was only one person standing among the dead bodies in front of him!

Lu Chuan stood up and just wanted to speak, when suddenly the world spun in front of him, his body fell backwards uncontrollably, and the whole world was suddenly dark.

Lu Chuan was lost in the dark for a long time, his heart was anxious and angry, he suddenly felt that he could move, quickly sat up, opened his eyes and looked around, only to see himself sitting on the bed, covered with coarse cloth bedding, in front of him is the wall, the walls are all wood, there are bottles and cans and various medicinal materials hanging on it, and there is a medicine stove in the open space on the right hand, and there is a fire underneath. At this time, the weather in July, the fire in July, although the heat has begun to dissipate, but the hot sun is still not forgiving, there is such a big baby in the house, who can stand it? Not to mention Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan is a fire, since childhood Hantan sword practice, can withstand the cold, but can not withstand the heat. As soon as I woke up, regardless of my dizziness, I uncovered the quilt and went to the ground, but before I took two steps, I felt colic in my abdomen, and the pain was unbearable, and I squatted down involuntarily.

In a trance, suddenly there was a footstep outside the door, the sound was not heavy, it sounded like a woman's footsteps, Lu Chuan hurriedly raised his eyes to look, only to see a woman dressed in the Miao family jumping in, holding a basket in her hand, entered the house and tiptoed to look into the medicine stove, and inadvertently saw Lu Chuan squatting on the ground is surprised, "Why did you come down, go back and lie down, the medicine will be fine immediately." As he spoke, he put the basket aside and came over to help Lu Chuan.

Looking at each other, Lu Chuan saw the woman's appearance clearly, and it seemed that she was estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face, and there seemed to be a sense of déjà vu at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and he was crazy for a while.

The girl did not notice his abnormality, helped him to lie down on the bed again, said a few words, and jumped away again. Lu Chuan looked at her back, and suddenly felt much lighter, her stomach didn't hurt so much, and the room wasn't so hot, but she felt that her chest was warm, and she couldn't say what it was like.

"Is this love at first sight?" Suddenly, he thought of Duan Xueyu, Li Mojun, Shen Chuchu and Murong Yun again, shook his head with a wry smile, and spoke in his heart, how could I have such a thought? Do people like me also deserve and like someone? You see how happy she is here, if she is involved with me, can there still be happiness? Can there still be peace? I, just drag this wrecked body to fend for yourself, don't harm others......

Thinking of this, I was inevitably a little lonely in my heart, shook my head, dispelled this thought, but the girl's voice appeared again in my mind, and after thinking about it, I finally got out of bed, gritted my teeth and came to the door.

I saw that the girl was sitting on the steps to pick up medicinal herbs, Lu Chuan did not make a sound to disturb, and looked into the distance, only to see that as far as the eye could see, there was a river, a lake, and a field, and you could see far away. It turned out that the small building was built on a hill.

Lu Chuan was attracted by the scenery, looked at it for a long time, and unintentionally asked, "What is this place?" ”

The girl was startled, turned her head and saw that it was Lu Chuan, and then she was shocked, but instead she was dissatisfied, "Why are you disobedient, go to the bed and lie down, the medicine will be fine immediately." ”

Lu Chuan smiled slightly and shook his head.

Seeing that the girl couldn't persuade her, she was not reluctant, and lowered her head to pick up the medicinal herbs for a while, and then remembered Lu Chuan's question, so she replied: "The name of the place here is Huixian, which is a wetland, under the rule of Guilin Mansion, but it is quite far from the city." ”

Lu Chuan didn't listen to it, but when he heard the word Huixian, his heartbeat missed a beat, and he recalled those four sentences in his mind, "New rain in Jiangbei, Tingxuan is barren, Chen Si thinks hard, and hopes that you will return early." Now he understands everything, "Jiangbei Xinyu" and "Tingxuan Barren" come from the poems of the Song Dynasty Zhang Yan, referring to Jingjiang Mansion, which is now Guilin Mansion, "Chen Si Bitter Thought" is the key, Chen Si is not another word for contemplation, but refers to Chen Si Wang Cao Zhi, it is rumored that Cao Zhi and Luo Shen meet, and the fairy meets, that is, the fairy. In fact, Murong Yun said very clearly, the person Chen Siwang was thinking about was Luoshen, and Luluo's Luo was Luoshen, just because he didn't know that there was such a place under Guilin Mansion, so he couldn't think of it.

Lu Chuan thought to himself, the soles of his feet moved involuntarily, his hands were stretched out, and he suddenly took them back.

"The road of revenge is enough for me, why drag her into the water?
