Small peach orchard.

In the huge mountain villa, there is a young man's back, back and forth, slightly anxious.

Jiang Ming looked for any possible place for Li Mengru to go, but it was all in vain. Walking aimlessly, we arrived at the gate of the villa.

Under the white boulder arch stood two disciples guarding the door, one short and stocky, the other thin and tall. Jiang Ming just wanted to retreat, but suddenly his heart moved, and he stepped forward and asked, "Ask the two senior brothers, have you ever seen a smart and delicate woman with a slender body." Goose-yellow dress, about this high. ”

Those two disciples who had been guarding the courtyard gate for a long time were also bored and depressed, and when they saw someone talking, they were also interested. One of them squeezed his eyes at Jiang Ming rather ambiguously, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, what is the relationship between the woman you are talking about and you?" isn't it....... Hahaha. ”

After the two disciples finished speaking, they glanced at each other and laughed.

Jiang Ming also has a big head, so he has to ask for help, and he said slowly and politely: "I can't hide it, the woman I'm talking about is my senior sister." Dare to ask, have the two senior brothers ever met?"

The short and fat disciple smiled maliciously at the corner of his mouth and then stepped forward to put his arm around Jiang Ming's shoulder, but the two were very different in size, Jiang Ming had to bend down and listen to the short and fat man whisper: "Is it that the junior brother loves the senior sister, or does the senior sister love the junior brother, but the junior brother doesn't appreciate it and hurts the senior sister's heart?"

Jiang Ming was frightened by this string of words, and hurriedly pushed away the short and fat disciple's hand, and said with a straight face: "Senior brother, how can you say this nonsense? ”

As he spoke, he thought that there was also a gentle woman who liked to inquire about other people's gossip and interesting stories in the distant Wuqi Mountain, and he hadn't seen him for a long time......

Seeing this, the short and fat disciple also "coughed" twice, and said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, we have seen the senior sister in your mouth." It's okay to tell you, but you have to go through our test and help us relieve our boredom by the way. ”

Jiang Ming was a little anxious by these two people, and said, "The two senior brothers will do whatever they say!"

The short and fat disciple smiled and said slowly: "Senior brother, don't worry. It's not very difficult, it's just to accompany my junior brother through two tricks and move his muscles and bones. As he spoke, he pointed to the tall and thin disciple to the side.

"Senior brother, you have to do what you say. Come on!" Jiang Ming was also upset and irritable right now, tickled by the roots of these two grinding teeth. Pose and get ready to go.

The tall and thin disciple put down the sword in his hand, twisted his neck, and turned the laughing look he had just now. "Ahh

This tall and thin disciple was full of strength with one punch and one kick, and it seemed that he was very strong in terms of physical skills. And Jiang Ming, who had lived a leisurely life in the Blood Moon Sect since he was a child, did not pay attention to the cultivation of his body, muscles and bones, so naturally he only had to be beaten.

The tall and thin disciple has a strong body, one move and one style, and he walks smoothly. Jiang Ming could only dodge with his body's natural reactions, and he was hit from time to time, which was very embarrassing.

There was a big gap between the two, but the tall and thin disciple deliberately let go of the water, obviously having a chance to end the battle with one palm, but at the critical moment he withdrew the offensive, and there were signs of wanting to play for a while.

"Two junior disciples, slow down, don't get hurt—" The short and fat disciple shouted from time to time, and he couldn't get enough of it.

Jiang Ming felt that his temperament was quite calm, but at this time, he was already carried away by the grinding, and the fat man next to him was smiling and grinning, and the more he listened to it, the more bored he felt. Use both hands and feet, and don't pay attention to rules. Tearing, pushing and pulling, fighting all by instinct, just wanting to knock down the other party and vent their evil anger to themselves. But the more anxious he was, he didn't hit the other party with a single punch, and he was dodged by the other party.

Turning around, the tall and thin disciple punched Jiang Ming in the opposite direction.

Jiang Ming, who was already angry, didn't dodge anymore, he just wanted to punch the other party hard to calm the resentment in his heart. Thinking about it, he squatted down against the fist of the tall and thin disciple and threw his best punch towards the opponent's defenseless abdomen.

"Bang". Jiang Ming fell to the ground in response, and was punched heavily in the face, and Junxiu's face was swollen, red and white. Humpty Dumpty, who was watching the battle, hurriedly ran over, helped Jiang Ming up and asked, "Senior brother, it's okay, why are you bothering!"

And the tall and thin disciple also held his stomach and took a few steps back, and finally endured the pain and said with appreciation: "Yes, the junior brother has courage." ”

Jiang Ming punched his opponent, vented the anger in his heart, and his mind cleared, he stood up and gasped and said slowly: "I offended my senior brother, and I ...... Please also ask the senior brother to fulfill his promise......"

The Humpty Dumpty man sighed, cleared his throat, looked up to the sky, and said loudly: "Ask what is the situation in the world, and teach people to live and die regardless of it! With that, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a path outside the gate, "In this direction, maybe it's going to Xiling Ferry." ”

Jiang Ming finally got the answer he wanted, and his heart suddenly became clear, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, senior brother." With that, he staggered twice and ran in the direction of Humpty Dumpty's fingers.

"Tsk", the Humpty Dumpty man shook his head and shouted at Jiang Ming's back: "Senior brother, you have passed my test, and you are indeed sincere." Your sister looked very sad when she left, so you have to comfort her. Senior brother believes in you, come on!"

Jiang Ming's back gradually disappeared at the end of the path, and the tall thin disciple and the short and fat brother hugged each other tightly with a sad face, looked into the distance, and muttered: "In this world, there are only two of us who are lonely......

———————

The Xiling River straddles the Central Plains and the Northwest region. Thousands of streams rush into the West Sea. It is also a key artery for the Central Plains region to communicate with other places.

The ferry under the sunset is particularly beautiful, the sunset crested ibis, the sky and the water are the same color. The merchant ships coming and going, transporting batches of goods, merchants, goods workers, and people.

Jiang Ming was stunned for a long time, and the corners of his eyes suddenly moistened, and the scene of the first time he came here two years ago appeared.

"Well, what's your name? Why are you sitting here alone?"

"Where is your home?"

"Come with me......"

"Come with me......" was picturesque.....

The playful girl in my memory took his hand and walked slowly, slowly to the embankment......

That girl was also wearing a goose yellow Luo skirt that day, smiling smartly, and her eyebrows flowing, which became the stunning color in Jiang Ming's memory in the past fifteen years! A Qianqian's thin hand slowly, slowly, pulled him from the darkness and depression to the light......

On that day, Jiang Ming was planning to return to the Northern Wilderness......

Before sunset, Li Mengru sat on a stone, barefoot, and let the river slide by. The wind blew her long hair, and in the afterglow, the golden ......

"Senior sister......" Jiang Ming shouted softly.

The woman turned her head, turned around again, looked at the ethereal mountains and rivers in the distance, and said lightly, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ming was silent for a while, then quietly walked to Li Mengru's side and slowly squatted down.

"Senior sister, isn't the river cold?"

Li Mengru is a child, her temper comes and goes quickly, and she is not angry for a long time, but she still holds on for the sake of face. But at this moment, she finally found out that his junior brother was a little strange.

Li Mengru turned her face, and suddenly saw the scars on Jiang Ming's face and slightly red eyes, and asked with a panicked expression: "Senior brother, what's wrong with you?

Saying that, Li Mengru was about to pull Jiang Ming up. Jiang Ming suddenly smiled and said, "Senior sister, I'm fine." ”

Li Mengru, who looked surprised, thought: The wounds are all on the face, and I am going to cry, is this called okay? However, Jiang Ming, who looked at the slightest movement, also sat down again and asked softly, "What's the matter with the eyes?"

"It's too windy by the river, it's blowing. ”

"Where's the face?"

"Beaten. But it's worth ......."

Li Mengru frowned, stood up in an instant, dressed neatly, pulled Jiang Ming, who resisted to no avail, and left, and said sharply: "Go, my junior brother can't be bullied in vain!"

Dusk, at the entrance of the small Taoyuan Villa.

Humpty Dumpty leaned against the wall and looked at the sunset, and asked, "Do you think he can make the girl change her mind? ”

The tall and thin man sat on the ground and replied, "I don't know." I hope so. ”

There was a long silence. The two seemed to be looking forward to what the outcome would be.

When the dusk daylight was about to fall, suddenly two figures faintly appeared on the path in front of the door.

"Alas...... Alas, get up and see. Humpty Dumpty pulled the tall and thin man up from the ground and asked, "Is it the two of them?"

The tall and thin man looked at it, hugged Humpty Dumpty directly, and said excitedly: "Yes! They are still holding hands!

"How do you think the two of them will thank us, hehe. Humpty Dumpty looked proud.

When Li Mengru took Jiang Ming by the hand and walked angrily in front of the two gatekeepers, Humpty Dumpty and the tall and thin man still looked proud, and they just wanted to speak.

There was a sound of "Zheng", a cold glow, and the sword was unsheathed.

Before Humpty Dumpty could react, the sword in Li Mengru's hand had already been placed on his neck. Then, Li Mengru stared fiercely at the tall thin man who was standing aside and speechless.

The two looked puzzled and looked at each other. Humpty Dumpty reacted first, smiled and flicked the blade of the sword on his neck with his hand, and the sound of "bell" was crisp and loud, and he immediately stopped smiling and begged: "That...... Grandma, let's put down the sword first, and have something to say, okay......?

The tall thin man on the side also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, there must be a misunderstanding in this." Do you say yes? This junior brother, speak!" he said, turning his head to Jiang Ming behind Li Mengru, and kept squeezing his eyebrows.

Jiang Ming knew that these two fat or thin disciples had no malicious intent, they just jumped out and loved to play a little. Seeing the panicked appearance of these two, he was also amused, pulled the corner of Li Mengru's skirt, and said, "Senior sister, forget it, there is no need to scare them like this." ”

"Scare them, hmph, this girl is really going to move for real today!" With that, his hand shook, and the blade of the sword moved two inches closer to Humpty Dumpty's neck.

The faces of the two people in front of them changed, they didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and shouted loudly: "Grandma spares her life!

"Who injured my junior brother?" Li Mengru asked lightly.

The two of them, who were already frightened, shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know. I don't know what I'm shouting.

"Say!"

Li Mengru raised her eyebrows, and suddenly snorted, her voice was crisp and bright. The two people in front of him were startled again.
