Chapter Forty-Eight: A Chance Encounter
A few days after the news that the Ao family got the baby spread, a few people came straight into the Ao Mansion and threatened to take a look at the baby.
Ao Feng's father was also clever, and when he saw that those people were not good, he lied that he sent the baby to the city to find a famous person to identify it.
Those people didn't embarrass him, and bluntly said that they would come back in a few days, if they couldn't see the baby again, the consequences would make Ao's father conceited, and the threat would be obvious later.
After a few people left, Ao Feng saw his father's sad face, so he reminded him of the talisman left by the old way, Ao's father thought about it and thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and burned the talisman, only to see that the talisman rose up and rolled into smoke, and it turned into the appearance of the old way.
The smoke turned into an old Taoist mouth, after asking the reason, he ordered Ao Feng to put the ashes left over from the talisman on his body, and immediately went out to the north, as long as he survived five days, there will be people from Tianyun Mountain to come to answer, and after speaking, it turned into billowing smoke and drifted away.
Ao Feng's father was decisive at this time, and ordered Steward Hu to take the three of his sister and brother in disguise and walk north along the path. But he himself was fanfare, and ordered his subordinates to carry four sedan chairs to the south of the town, which was really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world.
Today, the three sisters and brothers, Steward Hu and the two entourages have been out for four days, and they came to this foggy sea and mountain this afternoon.
This foggy sea and mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and the people under the mountain dare not go too deep into the mountain, let alone outsiders.
At that moment, Steward Hu went to look for a guide, and at a glance in the bazaar, he took a fancy to this bearded man, just because this Steward Hu had a little bit of knowledge, this big man called Li Jingang seemed to be fierce and vicious, but in fact he was a righteous and bold straight man.
Immediately, a few people negotiated the price, and this Li Jingang led a few people to the foggy sea and mountains.
The group was not in a hurry to go, just because Steward Hu kept in mind the master's instructions, as long as he avoided for five days, this foggy sea and mountain is an excellent place to hide his whereabouts, so it is also very leisurely to play in the mountains and rivers all the way.
In the blink of an eye, it was getting late, and Li Jingang proposed to a few people that there was a natural cave not far in front, so it was better to rest there for a night.
As soon as Steward Hu discussed with his sister and brother, he readily agreed, so several people followed Li Jingang towards the cave.
After walking for more than half an hour, it was already dark. I saw that the strange rocks in the mountain were craggy, and they looked like monsters by the moonlight, which frightened the three sisters and brothers into turning white, but Li Jingang, who led the way in front, cheered, and had come to the cave.
Entering the cave, Li Jingang and the two attendants lit torches. Under the light of the fire, as far as the eye can see, the cave is also open, and the ground in the distance is covered with some hay, which must be used by someone to spend the night.
Steward Hu couldn't help but look at Li Jingang suspiciously, Li Jingang glanced at it, and said with a grin: "I haven't been to this cave for a few years, but it doesn't matter, I think it's also some old guests who always come and go in this mountain, and I will inform him when the time comes, and I will never embarrass a few of us." ”
Although Steward Hu was suspicious, it was dark at this time and there was nowhere to go, so he asked his entourage to take out dry food and share it with a few people.
Ao Feng took the dry food, and suddenly looked at the cave with a strange face, but in an instant, his face returned to normal, and he lowered his head and ate the dry food.
While eating dry food, a few people listened to Li Jingang tell some of his heroic deeds in the past, and the three sisters and brothers were stunned for a while, and Li Jingang was very proud.
In fact, half of what he said was made up, like the mountain monster, Li Jingang saw that he only ran fast, where did he kneel and beg for mercy.
Li Jingang ate a mouthful of dry food, and was about to make up a few more fox monster stories to get over his addiction, when he heard a voice from outside the cave, "Friends in the cave, it's too late to hurry at this time, I don't know if I can let the kid stay here for the night." ”
Steward Hu was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but Li Jingang shouted at the top of his voice: "You are friends when you go out, brother, you can come in, this cave is very big." When Steward Hu heard this, he only sighed helplessly, and he also admired Li Jingang's nerves.
"In that case, the kid bothered. As soon as the words fell, I saw a young man in Xuanyi walking in, looking very handsome and slender, just like a scholar.
Steward Hu was also relieved to see that this young man was not a few people who came to the house that day.
The young man in Xuanyi hugged his fist at a few people and gestured with his chin bowed. When he looked at Li Jingang, he seemed to know that it was this big man who spoke just now, so he smiled at Li Jingang.
Li Jingang couldn't help but be interested when he saw this person clasping his fists and saluting, instead of giving up his hands like an ordinary scholar, and opened his mouth to ask: "Little brother, you are also a practitioner, right? Could it be that you also came here to try your luck in this foggy sea and mountain?"
This young man in Xuanyi is Fan Yao. That day, Fan Yao planned to go out for a trip, and when he went out of the town to look at the Wuhai Mountain, he found that he had been brought up by others several times to the top of the mountain, and he had not really stepped on the Wuhai Mountain, so he decided to go to the mountain to play first.
In fact, I also had the idea of meeting Xiao Xinyao by luck.
It's just that since he left in a hurry that day, Fan Yao hasn't heard from Xiao Xinyao for more than half a year, and he really can't rest assured.
Fan Yao was seventeen years old at this time, and he was a martial artist, tall and tall, looking like a young man.
Hearing the big man's question, Fan Yao replied with a smile: "The younger brother is a native of Qingwa Town under the foggy sea and mountains, named Fan Yao. In my spare time, I learned some rough kung fu from the martial arts master in the town, and this time I came to this foggy sea and mountain to play, which made this big brother smile. ”
Li Jingang laughed when he heard this: "My name is Li Jingang, and I also live in a small town under this foggy sea mountain, but my town is just a mountain away from your town. Little brother, it's really a little unsafe for you to be alone, why don't you just follow a few of us, I, Li Jingang, will keep you safe all the way. ”
After speaking, he saw Steward Hu glaring at him vigorously, and couldn't help but be dissatisfied and said, "Steward Hu, you are also too careful." All the lakes and the four seas are brothers, this little brother is alone, what if he gets lost in this barren mountains and mountains? Don't worry, I won't charge you more money. ”
Steward Hu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and asked, "Where is this?" Is this a matter of money? If I collect money, should I pay for this money? Forget it, I don't know what to do. Looking up at Fan Yao, he had no choice but to smile.
Fan Yao saw this situation and knew it, it seemed that these rich children came here to play, and this big man should be the bodyguard guide they hired.
In order not to make trouble for this warm-hearted man, he smiled apologetically: "It seems that it is inconvenient to call a few people, since this is the case, I will leave, please forgive me for the trouble." Then he went out of the cave.
Li Jingang couldn't help but be anxious when he saw this situation, but before he could speak, Ao Feng on the side said in his heart: "Fan...... Brother Fan, it's getting late, and you're alone, why don't you spend the night in this cave, we don't mind. ”
Steward Hu saw that it was inconvenient for the young lady to refuse, so he said with a smile: "If the light is blind, the little brother should not rush in the dark, just in this cave, and deal with everyone all night." ”
Seeing this, Fan Yao was embarrassed to leave, hugged his fists and smiled: "Thank you so much for this little sister, thank you for this big brother." As he spoke, he continued to walk outside the cave, and said as he went: "I just caught a hare and threw it outside the cave, so I will clean it up, find some firewood to roast, and if anyone is hungry, come and eat it together." ”
Li Jingang was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's a good feeling, Brother Fan, I'll help you." ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the cave, looked for some firewood with Fan Yao, and after cleaning up the hares, the two roasted them at the entrance of the cave, and after a while, the aroma was overflowing.
Fan Yao saw that the hare had been roasted, so he beckoned to a few people in the cave, and the two brothers Ao Wen and Ao Xuan smelled the aroma and drooled, but they didn't dare to move.
As a close treasure physique, Ao Feng can not only sense the location of treasures, but also faintly distinguish people's hearts.
As soon as I saw Fan Yao today, I felt that he was a gentleman, and I didn't hesitate anymore at the moment, ignoring Steward Hu's eyes, and called the two brothers to go to the entrance of the cave.
The two brothers cheered, trotted, and then sat next to Fan Yao on the left and right.
Fan Yao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to tear off the two rabbit legs and handed them to the two brothers, but it was different from Ao Feng's men and women, so he stretched out his hand and motioned for Ao Feng to take it himself.
Ao Feng looked at Fan Yao and nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to tear off a piece of breast meat, and ate it gently.
A few people here were polite, but Li Jingang had a rabbit leg down, burped, looked into the cave and shouted: "Steward Hu, and those two little brothers, come out and take a bite, Brother Fan's rabbit is really delicious." After speaking, he was not polite, and tore off a piece of rabbit meat and threw it in his mouth and chewed it.
Steward Hu smiled and said, "You guys eat, a few of us have already eaten." ”
The two entourages smelled the aroma and glanced at Steward Hu with resentment, but as subordinates, they were helpless.
Fan Yao tore off a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it slowly in his mouth, looking at the three sisters and brothers, he couldn't help but think of Gao Yuqi and others, and his heart was full of longing for a while. Then he smiled and said, "I already introduced myself just now, but I don't know your name yet." ”
Ao Feng looked at Fan Yao and pursed his lips and smiled: "Brother Fan, my name is Ao Feng, these two are my younger brothers, one is called Ao Wen, the other is called Ao Xuan, and the two of them are twin brothers."
Our home is in Gutong Town, which is more than 2,000 miles away, and this time we came to this foggy sea and mountain to have a play, and it is really an honor to meet Brother Fan here. ”
Fan Yao smiled slightly after hearing this, but he knew in his heart that this little girl was not telling the truth, just because the housekeeper Hu, who thought he was experienced, had flashing eyes and several times when he wanted to speak, all of which implied that their group was by no means as simple as playing.
But Fan Yao also understands that several people who don't know him before, how can they tell each other the truth. At the moment, I didn't ask much, and chatted with a few people about the scenery of the foggy sea and mountains.
