Spring wind, slightly cold. Especially after dark, it's even cooler.

After nightfall, Meng Li, who had comforted Liu Hui's mother and daughter, returned home, put on a coat sewn from black cloth, and quietly walked up the mountain.

Touching this cold coat that Meng Rou sewed for him not long ago, Meng Li's mood was extremely complicated.

When Old Uncle Meng was taken away by the government, Meng Rou's heart-rending picture was vivid. When things happened to this point, he, the initiator, was unexpected, don't say that Old Uncle Meng was implicated by him, even if he has nothing to do with it, for the sake of Meng Rou, he can't ignore it.

Halfway through the mountain road, Meng Li, who had already made up his mind in his heart, resolutely turned around and ran down the mountain along the road he had come, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he was suddenly stopped by a black robe.

"Master, Master. Seeing Yan Xingguan in a black robe, Meng Li lowered his head, like a child who was bumped into by an adult when he made a mistake.

"Don't learn today's kung fu?" Yan Xing looked at Meng Li, who had buried his head deeply, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"If your heart is not quiet, you can't learn. Meng Li lowered his head and looked ashamed. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, since he has embarked on the road of martial arts, he can not slack off, when his mother was still alive, he said the most thing, that is, he could not fish for three days and dry nets for two days.

Yan Xingguan sighed: "Is it because of the day?"

People sit in the mountains, knowing everything about the things under the mountain, and what is happening in the village today, Yan Xingguan already knows.

Meng Li seemed to have suddenly made up his mind, and said in a resolute tone: "Master, I want to go to Shui Town." ”

"What if you go?"

"I'm going to rescue Old Uncle Meng. ”

"How to save it?" Yan Xingguan glanced at Meng Li, and wrote lightly: "Relying on the water town is not as good as Mengjia Village, and if you are not familiar with the place, what can you change with your slight true qi that can't even compare to a martial artist?" Could it be that you want to turn yourself in?"

They all knew that it was absolutely impossible for Meng to leave and turn himself in.

Meng Li said: "You and I both know that Old Uncle Meng was wronged, and he shouldn't be treated like this." ”

Yan Xingguan said earnestly: "So you are still young. This world is far more cruel than you think. Innocent people have been unjustly imprisoned, and I don't know how many I have seen over the years. ”

Hearing him say this, Meng Li was even more worried. "Then I should go. ”

"Then go ahead!"

Meng Li, who thought that his master would try his best to stop him, looked at this unpredictable man unexpectedly and said in surprise: "You don't stop me?"

Yan Xingguan said: "If you really want to go, what's the use of me stopping you, besides, you have to go out sooner or later, it is better to take this opportunity to learn for a long time." ”

A person's achievements are often inseparable from the environment and background. It's like a fish pond, there are always more big fish in a big pond than in a small pond.

Now that Meng is away from this small pool, it is time to expand it.

Seeing that Meng Li suddenly didn't react, Yan Xingguan laughed and said, "What, you don't want to go again?"

"No! No!" Meng Li hurriedly waved his hand and said movingly: "The apprentice just didn't expect the master to agree so happily, since this is the case, the apprentice will go back to prepare, and it is better to go early and return early." ”

"Wait a minute. Yan Xingguan stopped Meng Li, looked at the puzzled apprentice and said speechlessly: "Go early and return early?

Meng Li said as a matter of course: "The soldiers are fast, the sooner you arrive, the sooner I will be at peace." ”

Yan Xingguan said: "Well, even if you rush to Shui Town overnight, what can you do at this time? Besides, you don't even know how to start." ”

Meng Li frowned and said, "Master, what should I do?"

Yan Xingguan said: "Go back and sleep well first, recuperate, and wait for tomorrow morning, I will set off with you." ”

"Master, you should also come with me. Looking at this lazy master who usually didn't even bother to go to the mountains, Meng Li felt a little surprised.

Yan Xingguan said angrily: "Is it difficult for me to watch you go to the difficulty?"

The eagle soars, while the young eagle takes refuge under its wings. Protecting apprentices as they grow up is the duty of a teacher.

Meng Li said excitedly: "With you here, this time things are much simpler." ”

I thought it was my own business before, and I didn't want to bother the master, but now that the other party took the initiative to take the initiative, how could he refuse.

However, Yan Xingguan, who had just given a sweet jujube, quickly poured a basin of cold water.

"Don't think too beautifully, this time I will only help you give advice, and you have to do the specific things yourself, it will be a test for you. ”

"That's fine, anyway, with you, I'm not afraid of anything. "Meng Li knows what it means to be content, with the master behind him, if something happens, can he really ignore himself?

When I go out for the first time, I am inevitably a little nervous. When Meng Li returned home, he began to prepare his bags, packed up, and finally decided to travel in simple clothes, carrying only the wooden knife wrapped in white cloth.

slept all night, and before dawn the next day, Meng Li was pulled out of the bed by Yan Xingguan.

Meng Li, who had not fully woken up and still looked sleepy-eyed, looked at the master who came to the house at some point, and grinned with a smirk.

"Morning, Master!"

Yan Xingguan threw Meng Li on the bed, threw the clothes on the side of the bed on the latter, and said angrily: "I'm letting you rest well, not letting you sleep lazy, when you sleep for a while, everyone in the village should wake up." ”

Yan Xingguan's words made Meng Li feel a spirit, and his heavy sleepiness disappeared without a trace.

"Not good!"

Meng Li, who screamed strangely, got up from the bed, took the clothes and put them on his body, and couldn't help but burst into tears while hurrying.

The conscience of heaven and earth, it's not that he deliberately wants to sleep lazy, but he is too tired in the past few days, and he can't control it when he sticks to the pillow.

Hurriedly dressing and carrying the wooden knife that had been rewrapped last night, Meng Li took out a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Liu Hui's mother and daughter on the table.

Yan Xingguan was puzzled: "Why don't you say goodbye to each other?

Meng Li took the farewell letter whose handwriting had not yet dried, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to see them worried, so it will be better to say goodbye this way." ”

Yan Xingguan pouted and said: "Don't make it the same as parting with life and death, this trip is accompanied by me, it is strange that you can have an accident." ”

Walking out of the house and inserting the farewell letter on the gate of the courtyard next door, Meng Li looked at the innermost window in the courtyard, and then walked outside the village.

The town is located fifty miles south of Mengjia Village. It takes half a day to run on a fast horse, let alone on foot? Normal people want to get from Mengjia Village to Shuishui Town, it takes about a whole day purely by foot strength, and the reason why it is only twice as much as riding a horse is when there is a path to copy.

However, for the martial artists who have cultivated the true qi, this time will be discounted again, with the help of the true qi, whether it is endurance or the speed of hurrying, it will be greatly improved, this is still in the case of not learning the light body exercises, if there are one or two exquisite light skills around the body, this time will be shortened again.

Although Meng Li's true qi cultivated with simple lazy exercises was not as full as ordinary people, after all, it was the true qi that was really sharpened by the exercises, and it was poured into his feet to hurry, and he soon realized the wonders.

Meng Li, who hurried with the help of true qi, was not only as light as a swallow, but also did not feel tired at all, and his speed was twice as fast as that of normal pedestrians.

Of course, Meng Li's current true qi was still very weak, not enough to support him to feel dependent on Shui Zhen, and in most cases, it was Yan Xingguan who carried him away.

Hurrying all the way, hurrying and hurrying, I finally arrived at the water town before noon.

Unlike the small fishing village of Mengjia Village, as one of the only two towns under Jieshui City, the scale of the water town is beyond imagination. The town has a registered population of tens of thousands, and is the center of life of more than a dozen surrounding villages.

Meng Li, who had never been out of the house, was attracted by the prosperity of the town when he first entered the town. There is an endless flow of people on the streets, and the stalls and vendors that are like extinct in Mengjia Village can be seen everywhere, and the sound of selling is one after another.

Meng Li wandered among them, as if he had come to another world, and in the past ten years, it seemed that he had lived in vain.

"What a picture of the prosperous era with a lot of voices!"

Meng Li sighed with emotion, and a flush welled up on his face due to excitement, such a grand scene seemed to Meng Li, who had never seen the world, it was simply something that he couldn't think of.

In the past, I heard the old people who liked to talk about how good it was to rely on the water town, but at that time, only these old and dying elders were lamenting the difficulty of the passage of time, and they didn't care, but now they can't help but marvel when they look at it.

This noisy water town is really good!
