When Hua Wenxiang and the three of them returned to the town, they didn't see a single corpse, but they saw some tattered clothes on the way through the forest path, not so much clothes, but some scattered rags.

When he arrived in the town, Fang Shan said that he didn't see Zhou Hu coming to the town, and Heiqiu'er was also lazy in the town as usual.

With those pieces of broken clothes in the forest, plus the news of Zhou Hu's murder from the house, Hua Wenxiang felt that things should not be fake, so Hua Wenxiang told Fang Shan that it might not be just Zhou Long's two brothers, and even all their subordinates were killed, and there were no bones, this kind of killing method was extraordinary, I am afraid that even Zhou Long did not know when he offended such a terrifying existence.

At that time, Fang Shan didn't know where the strength came from, so he slapped his thigh hard, saying that God had opened his eyes and finally put an end to these beasts, and the villagers would finally not have to live that fearful life in the future.

After that, Xiong Hengye carried the black ball door to door to deliver the good news, and the town cheered again for a while, the bully was removed, and everyone was happy, so they set up a banquet again, and this time the banquet was even bigger than the last time.

At the banquet, Fang Shan didn't know how to thank Hua Wenxiang, so he said that if he had any difficulties in the future, even if he looked for the town, the people of the town would definitely go to the soup and fire, and he would not hesitate.

Towards the end of the banquet, Xiong Hengye said to the big guy that he planned to go to Sword City tomorrow, which was already two days later than the departure plan, and the big guy did not stay, everyone hoped that this black boy could get ahead in the army, don't stay in this town for the rest of your life to be a frog at the bottom of the well, some men don't know whether they are sober, or by the strength of wine, they actually complain about themselves with a crying voice, saying that the black boy, you used to steal melons, eat and drink, we scolded you twice, in fact, there is no meaning to blame, if you feel wronged, the uncles are here to compensate you。

Xiong Hengye grimaced, "A group of old men are crying here, like a girl, disgusting to me." ”

A man with a scumbag on his face laughed, "Little rabbit, don't be a deserter when you enter the army, the town can't afford to lose this person with you." ”

"Yes, little dog bear, you have to be like a man, don't go to the battlefield, and when you see the scene of thousands of troops, you will be frightened and your legs will go limp. ”

......

Xiong Hengye started a verbal battle with the men again.

Fang Cheng is vigorously helping Hei Qiu'er with vegetables, these days are the best for the two of them, one is responsible for cooking and the other is responsible for eating all day long.

Fang Shan talked about family life with everyone.

Tu Yuelian, who was sitting opposite Hua Wenxiang, asked, "Then you will also leave tomorrow?"

Hua Wenxiang snorted, "I'm going with Xiaoxiong, I don't know Sword City, just let him lead the way, and there are many people chatting along the way...... Have you figured it out? Do you want to leave town together? ”

Tu Yuelian shook her head, "I won't go, please take care of more bears on the way." ”

Hua Wenxiang, who said while eating, did not continue to persuade Tu Yuelian, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiong is also my friend." ”

Tu Yuelian didn't feel a little lost, and said softly: "If you have the opportunity to come to the town to play in the future, please eat the sweetest watermelon." ”

Hua Wenxiang poured a mouthful of Qinghe water, "Definitely, if you have the opportunity, you will also come to my house to play, and I guarantee that you don't want to leave if you live." ”

Handing Hua Wenxiang a handkerchief, Tu Yuelian said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Hua Wenxiang took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, "Me too." ”

......

......

In the evening, the banquet ended, the big guys cleaned up the mess together, and Tu Yuelian and Mei's mother walked on the way home.

Tonight's moonlight is far from as bright as in the past, and the town is brightly lit, the two of them walked very slowly, and there was no one around at this time, and Mama Mei, who had been widowed for many years, asked: "Yuelian, why don't you agree to leave with the playboy, is it because you are afraid that he has bad intentions, or is there another reason?"

Tu Yuelian said: "Mama Mei, you think too much, I just want to stay in the town, and I don't want to go anywhere." ”

The half-haired white-haired Mama Mei looked at this girl who was even closer than her own daughter, and said: "Silly boy, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from Mama Mei and me, if you don't go, Mama Mei will be sad." ”

Tu Yuelian, who was poked by Mama Mei's fossa, cried all of a sudden, "Mama Mei, but I can't bear you, what will you do if I leave." ”

The kind Mama Mei tried to hide her reluctance, "What kind of stupid words, it's not that you won't come back when you go, Mama Mei and I'm still tough, when you find your biological mother in the future, you will have the opportunity to come to see Mama Mei again." ”

Tu Yuelian stopped, crying and shaking her head.

Mama Mei wiped her tears, "You must listen to Mama Mei this time, the dude is not bad, he will take care of you along the way, I don't worry, let's go home quickly, and make a few more flatbreads as dry food on your road." Don't cry, it's not good to cry on your face. ”

Tu Yuelian suddenly knelt in front of Mama Mei, "I'm sorry, Mama Mei." ”

Mother Mei picked up Tu Yuelian and said, "What a fool, hurry up and go home." ”

Along the way after that, the two mothers who were not related by blood but were close to each other did not say a word.

That feeling is heavy, a kind of helplessness that is about to be separated, Mama Mei knows, Tu Yuelian knows even more, this day will come sooner or later.

......

......

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Cheng made a large package of dry food for Hei Qiu'er, and Xiong Hengye filled the Qinghe River with the largest kettle in Fang Shan's house, saying that he could not bring anything, but this water alone could drink one more day.

Regardless of men, women and children in the town, almost all came to see off Hua Wenxiang and his party, and they were polite at the entrance of the town for half an hour, Hua Wenxiang condensed her eyes with blood and soul, looking at the town, where she looked, there was no one, Hua Wenxiang no longer stayed, and reminded Xiong Hengye, who was carrying the black ball, "It's time for us to hurry, little bear." ”

Xiong Hengye looked at Fang Shan and Fang Cheng.

Fang Shan gently smashed Xiong Hengye with his crutches, "Don't hurry up and get out, and stand down again, my old waist will have to be broken." ”

Xiong Hengye smiled knowingly, "Old man, when I become a big official, see if you dare to talk to me like this." ”

Hua Wenxiang, who was carrying the package on his back, had already walked out dozens of steps, and he couldn't see this kind of parting scene.

Fang Shan glared, "Even if you become the emperor, you will still be a little king and a lamb to me." ”

Fang Cheng, who was full of smiles, looked at Xiong Hengye, who was still poor, "Okay, let's go quickly, the playboy has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Fang Shan turned his back to everyone, and kept wiping his tears with his dry palm.

Xiong Hengye walked backwards and waved goodbye to everyone.

When Xiong Hengye and Hua Wenxiang walked farther and farther away, the people of the town said in unison: "Take care along the way." ”

It wasn't until the figures of the two people and a cat completely disappeared that the people of the town were reluctant to disperse one by one.

......

......

As one of the largest cities in Nanzhou, Sword City is mainly named after the city lord's benevolence and wide range of friends, followed by the prosperity of the city and thousands of people.

Nanzhou was originally the old Jiangnan Dynasty, but after it was occupied by the Northern Yan of that year, it turned into a continent. Nanzhou is the largest continent of the Shengchang Dynasty today, which contains eleven counties, of which three counties are the most prosperous, namely Xianghu County, where the sword city is located, Pipa County, where the old Jiangnan Imperial Palace was built, and Yunzhong County, where Xuanyun Temple, one of the four major forces today, sits in the array.

If the watermelon town is planned in Nanzhou, it should belong to the poorest and smallest adobe county, and the adobe county is in front of Jiancheng, and when it reaches Jiancheng, it will cross the county to Xianghu County.

Jiancheng is not close to Watermelon Town, it is not far away, if you don't stop, two days and one night are enough to arrive, on the way, Xiong Hengye said that there is still half a decade before the Ying army, don't be too anxious to hurry, he came out of the town in advance, just want to play in Jiancheng for a few more days.

The two of them stopped and stopped along the way, talking and laughing, Fang Cheng's package of dry food for Hei Qiu'er had just been wiped out by the three rice buckets, and no one of the two and a cat took the initiative to mention Tu Yuelian's name along the way, when they were separated from everyone in the town, Xiong Hengye didn't see the Yuelian sister who had played since she was a child, and she was inevitably a little lost in her heart, but the young man didn't complain about her in his heart, Tu Yuelian's heart, he Xiong Hengye knew best.

Hua Wenxiang was a little disappointed that the good-looking and arrogant girl didn't go with her, but it was just a disappointment, he had no right to choose a person's fate.

Hei Qiu'er, who had just eaten dry food, asked, "I said, little bear, how long will it take to get to the Fengcheng you mentioned, and if we don't do it again, we will be hungry at night." ”

Xiong Hengye smiled and looked at the black ball walking on the side, "It's almost there, it's estimated that it will be there in two hours." ”

Hua Wenxiang glanced at the sky, "Just in time to stay in the inn at night." ”

In the past few days, the black ball that has been eating and drinking in the town has gained weight again, and it pulled the corner of Xiong Hengye's pants who was walking, "There are still two hours of road, my two feet are about to wear blood blisters, do you want to carry me for a while?"

Hua Wenxiang, who was walking in front, glanced at the lazy cat behind her, and continued to hurry, if she said this to herself just now, she would have to lift its tail and let it float for a while.

Xiong Hengye, who knew how to repay the kindness, was extremely grateful to the person and cat in front of him, and he didn't have a problem with this little request for Heiqiu'er, so he carried it on his shoulders and continued to hurry.

Two hours passed quickly, and the gate of Fengcheng also appeared in the eyes of Hua Wenxiang and his party.

There are two places in adobe county that have not changed in a hundred years, one is Fengcheng now, and the other is a poor county that has colluded with the two brothers of Zhou Long, one rich and one poor, Fengcheng is so rich that it is oily, and the poor county is poor, Fengcheng is not far from Jiancheng, and there are a few official roads with the light, and there are many merchants and hawkers who come and go between the two places, so Fengcheng has always been the first city of adobe county, and the poor county is located in the middle of nowhere, next to a small Qianhui Street, so it has not looked up for a hundred years, and even the place name has no capital to change a better sound。

When she arrived at the city gate, Hua Wenxiang frowned, and the city gate was closed.

Xiong Hengye asked the soldiers on the city wall: "I said Master Bing, the sky is clearly still bright, why do you close the city gate?"

The soldier standing on the city wall said: "The opening and closing times of the city gate are stipulated above, it is not up to me to decide, you come one step late, and enter the city early tomorrow morning." ”

Xiong Hengye sighed: "It's really unlucky, it seems that we are going to stay at the gate of the city tonight." ”

Looking forward to the guest house all the way, the black ball who eats fish and meat is unwilling, "If you don't want to ask the two people who watch the city gate, if you can't do it, let Xiaohua buy some road money." ”

Xiong Hengye, who was an ordinary person, refused softly: "Forget it, it's better to be honest in this kind of place, we will just stay overnight, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, the city gate will naturally open." ”

Hua Wenxiang mentioned the black ball, "You think this is a bandit blocking the road, and you still buy road money, live in peace, you haven't been idle along the way." ”

"I've got some pancakes, would you like to eat some?"

Not far from the city wall, there is a beautiful girl who is chewing coarse cakes one bite at a time, watching the flowers warm and fragrant them.

Hua Wenxiang smiled faintly, and when she met an acquaintance, she heard that there was something to eat, and the willows were bright.

Xiong Hengye couldn't believe his eyes, and shouted with a smile: "Sister Yuelian." ”
