Lu Yi saw that Su Liu'er did not chase after him, looked down at his left hand, and smiled to himself:

"You're almost in trouble!"

However, the soft and elastic feeling is really good, and the aftertaste is endless.

Find the big shopkeeper behind the Dubei Peak, throw the remaining gold and silver into the rattan frame, and turn down the mountain slowly with one person and one donkey, the original way is not to go, and if you meet Su Liuer's irascible woman again, you will really be desperate.

Lu Yi sat on the back of the donkey and took out the master's inheritance of the Wenda shopkeeper, and watched it with relish, the sword techniques and feats recorded on it were naturally not comparable to the Wuxiang Brahma Duel, but the stone of the mountain can attack jade, and learn more about the martial arts of other sects, and it will always be a little helpful when facing danger in the future.

After going down Qingniu Mountain, Lu Yi planned to take a detour to Fujia Village, leaving a little money for the villagers there, just enough to go there and return to the official road.

As soon as I arrived in Fujia Village, I saw a group of people surrounding a woman, who happened to be the oldest lady in the cottage, Lu Yi thought about it, and planned to turn around and pull the donkey and leave quietly, which was originally a convenient thing, and there was no need to be thankful.

At this moment, the child who was squatting on the tree two days ago had sharp eyes and said a few words to the people around him, and then the woman who had just survived the catastrophe chased after the villagers, and when she was a few steps away, she no longer moved forward, knelt down and kept kowtowing to thank you.

Lu Yi stopped, took out a bag of silver taels, helped everyone up, handed over the silver taels to Boss Fu, asked him to distribute them to everyone, and politely refused the invitation of the villagers, rode on the big shopkeeper, and gradually walked away.

The reason why Lujia Village is deserted is because the official road only leads to Fubo Town, and it is very likely that the specific location of Lujia Village cannot be found on the official map of Beijiang County, but Fubo Town will definitely be marked, which shows the importance of the official road.

Along the official road all the way to the south, Lu Yi found that the merchants and pedestrians on the road gradually increased, most of them were in a hurry, and they were extremely alert to strangers, and occasionally there were high-rollers riding high-headed horses and carrying weapons, and they also hurried by themselves without squinting, which was very different from the records in some books I had originally read, including the Sword Alliance and the Slanting Moon Sect that did exist in this Jianghu and did not hear a word.

The sun is like fire, the sun is scorching,

Lu Yi led the donkey along the official road slowly, and the more than 20-day trip made him look a little dusty, but according to the map markings, there was at least half a month or so to go from Beijiang, not to mention Liuyun Mountain and Qiantang County, which were farther away.

Of course, the big shopkeeper walks slowly is also a reason, but Lu Yi thinks this is very good, every time he passes through the villages, towns and counties along the way, he will stop to live for a day or two, understand some local customs, taste local specialties, anyway, there is still more silver, Lu Yi was not a person who valued yellow and white things.

When the sun is slanting westward, the road has come to the county seat of Xiangshan County, according to the understanding along the way, Xiangshan is close to the sea by the mountain, there are many sea goods, and the bamboo carving of Xiangshan is extremely famous, quite sought after by literati and ink writers, so the county seat is quite prosperous in the jurisdiction of Beijiang.

When approaching the head of the city, Lu Yi did not enter directly, but habitually came to the city gate, where the stone tablet was engraved with some celebrity anecdotes and historical origins of Xiangshan, and after looking at the object mountain for a while, he had some understanding, and then slowly led the big shopkeeper to the city guards.

After handing over the road guide paperwork, the guards of the city glanced at the black knife hanging on the donkey's back, and said solemnly:

"Disturbances and fights are forbidden in the city, so please obey them. ”

Lu Yi smiled and nodded, thanked him, and walked into the city.

One of the two soldiers, the younger one, looked at Lu Yi's back and quipped:

"Another ranger who went to the Fu family in the south of the city to try his luck?"

Another veteran soldier who had just reminded Lu Yi rolled his eyes and said coldly:

"The toad just wants to eat swan meat, you and I have both stood at this door for two years, and the eldest lady of the Fu family has also recruited a son-in-law for two years, what is the result? If you can't marry again this year, you will become a twenty-year-old girl!"

The young soldier touched his nose and said with a grin:

"The eldest lady of the Fu family doesn't love female celebrities since she was a child, she likes to dance with knives and sticks, and her temper is also famous far and near, but her appearance is true, tsk!"

"Do you want to die? But that young man just now had a good skin, especially those eyes, maybe there was a little bit of hope. ”

While the two were still whispering, the sound of hooves on the official road outside the city was like thunder, and seven or eight horsemen galloped from afar, and a young woman in green clothes sat on the back of a fiery red horse in the lead, and the rest of the horses followed behind them like stars and moons.

The woman is eighteen or nineteen years old, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her skin is better than frost and snow, her appearance is moving, she carries a long sword at her waist, and there are bows and arrows and two hares hanging on the other side of the horse, which is the eldest lady of the Fu family, Fu Liuying.

The Fu family is a famous family in Xiangshan County, although it is not comparable to the eight great families, but it is also a famous party.

The family operates no less than 100 old bamboo carving shops, and the business is all over Jiangnan Road, and Fu Canglong, the head of the Fu family, is a famous hero in the rivers and lakes.

Fu Canglong has a son and a daughter under his knees, only Fu Liuying is such a pearl in the palm of his hand, regarded as a treasure, and has been spoiled since he was a child, so he also knows that his daughter's temper is a little pampered and willful, the year before last has reached the age of marriage, and originally planned to find her a good family nearby, but Fu Liuying has won his true heritage, both inside and outside, and his swordsmanship is particularly good.

In the past two years, the situation in Fengtian Kingdom has become more and more turbulent, and the rest of the princes Chen Bing Luoyang, and the shepherd king Li Xiubai will gather in Beijiang to deal with possible changes in the Central Plains at any time, Xun Feiyu's constraints on the Jianghu forces in Jiangnan Province are unprecedentedly strict, so this year is the second year of the competition to recruit relatives, and he still has not met the son-in-law who satisfies the Fu family.

Fu Liuying's martial arts are naturally not as strong as she thinks, but some famous people are embarrassed to recruit relatives because of Fu Canglong's face, so now even Fu Liuying herself feels that the competition in the ring is not interesting.

Lu Yi led the donkey to walk on the street, is looking around with great interest, Xiangshan County really deserves to be a famous county in Beijiang, shops and wine shops are lined up one after another, it is almost dusk, there are still a lot of pedestrians on the street.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street, pedestrians avoided it, Lu Yi frowned slightly, turned around and saw the woman riding on the red horse, because the woman's appearance was really outstanding, so he looked at it twice, and it happened that the woman's eyes on the horse also looked over, the two eyes met, Lu Yi stretched his brows, smiled and nodded, and led the big shopkeeper along the street to continue walking.

Fu Liuying went out hunting today, the harvest was extremely good, and she was in a good mood, and the eyes she had just seen inexplicably made her feel good, so she stopped her horse not far away, and looked up at the young man just now.

There is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy sitting on a dark horse next to him, it is her younger brother Fu Lin, his personality is completely different from his sister, he likes to dance and write, although he has been forced by his father to practice martial arts since he was a child, and his talent is acceptable, but he is really disgusted with fighting and killing, so the martial arts are average, but the relationship between the sister and brother is very good, so hunting, which he originally didn't like, can accompany his sister to play for a day.

Fu Lin didn't see Lu Yi, so he looked at his sister's gaze with some curiosity and asked:

"Sister, what are you looking at?"

Fu Liuying snorted and replied:

"It's nothing, just look at it, there's a young man over there. ”

Fu Lin became interested, and it happened that Lu Yi walked forward along the street with a donkey, looked at it a few times, covered his mouth with his hand and smiled at his sister and quipped:

"It seems that he is also a Jianghu person, is he here to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives? Then I will have to call him brother-in-law in the future?"

Fu Liuying glared at her brother, who was unabashed, and said angrily:

"What nonsense?"

Lu Yi saw the group of people who stopped, and he didn't pay much attention, but the young men and women whispered and their eyes always drifted to their side, and they heard the conversation of some people around them, and roughly understood the identity of these two people, and they didn't want to entangle with them, so they pulled the donkey and left quickly.

Fu Liuying frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and left with everyone on horseback.

When passing by, Fu Lin turned his head to look at Lu Yi, with a grimace, and then walked away.

It was already dark, and as soon as Lu saw a homeinn in front of him, he led the big shopkeeper in.

The little servant came out, took the reins of the big shopkeeper, and asked with a smile on his face:

"The guest staying in the hotel?"

Lu Yi smiled and nodded.

"Little second brother, please help arrange a room, and feed my donkey a little bean cake. ”

"Okay, it's all wrapped around me. ”

The room is not big, but it is very refreshing, a set of tables and chairs, a bed, and a pot of Xia Lan on the windowsill, and the faint fragrance makes people feel refreshed.

Put the burden away, Lu Yi walked to the lobby downstairs, and the little guy who had just received him ran over smartly, ordered a meat and a vegetarian two hot dishes and two cold dishes, and asked for a pot of wine, the price is not expensive, and it only adds up to two dollars of silver.

Lu Yi has a habit, every time he stays in the lobby to eat, habitually choose a corner location, eat and drink silently, listen carefully to other people's chatter, the first time to go to the rivers and lakes, it is always a good thing to listen more, although most of the words are naturally not true, but there will be some useful information.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the streets were brightly lit, and the flow of people was more lively than when they just entered the city in the afternoon.

The lobby of the store is gradually becoming lively, and the inn is also well-known in the local area, and there are far more customers who come to eat here than those who stay in the hotel.

There are many people, and there are naturally more topics, plus the little second brother who runs the hall with a needle, and the lobby is full of people for a while, so it is not lively.

Most of the topics are discussing the matter of the Fu family's young lady's martial arts competition, including some people in the rivers and lakes with weapons, and the gossip soon extended to the Fu family's family affairs, how powerful Fu Canglong's swordsmanship is, how Fu Liuying is beautiful, and how arrogant her temper is.

Lu Yi didn't like to drink, and after pouring a glass of wine, he didn't touch the wine jug, feeling that although the food in the inn looked exquisite, all the dishes were too heavily seasoned, and the original taste of the dishes was lost.

At this moment, the curtain of the inn door was opened, and a guest walked in, about twenty years old, with an ordinary appearance, wearing an ordinary set of gray short clothes, holding a yellow, orange and orange bamboo cane in his hand, and after looking around with a smile, he walked straight to the table on the road and sat down.

The shopkeeper immediately ran over and said apologetically:

"This master, are you a friend of this son?"

With a smile on the side of the road, he looked up at the young man opposite, neither speaking nor shaking his head, who happened to be looking at him carefully.

The young man's eyes smiled and he said:

"Yes, I'm his eldest brother, second brother, and I'll make two dishes with a pot of wine. ”

The shopkeeper looked at Lu Yi with some doubts, and saw that the latter did not object, so he nodded and walked away.

The wine and food came up quickly.

The young man unceremoniously poured a glass of wine, raised his glass and poured out his mouth:

"Shall we go with one brother?"

Lu Yi smiled, and sure enough, he picked up the cup and touched it with the young man, and drank it all.

"You're not what I thought you were. ”

The young man said as he ate his food.

As soon as Lu heard the young man's words, and then looked at his words and deeds, he suddenly thought of a person, so he laughed heartily, poured a glass of wine again, raised the wine glass and said in a low voice:

"Actually, it's very tiring to pretend to be calm. ”

The two looked at each other, and suddenly laughed out loud without caring about the others.

"My name is Little Fairy. ”

After being separated for several months, Lu felt a burst of warmth in his heart when he thought of Hong Kaitai, so he asked:

"How is Uncle Hong?"

The little fairy pursed his lips and snorted:

"How can the old guy be bad? he knows how to eat and eat every day, and his belly is almost better than that of a woman who is ten months pregnant!"

Lu Yi thought of Hong Kaitai's belly, couldn't help laughing, and asked strangely:

"How did you find me? and how did you recognize me? ”

The little fairy rolled his eyes and said earnestly:

"Little brother, I'm an elder of the beggar gang now, and the beggar gang has nothing else, but there are many brothers, Old Man Hong handed me your portrait and asked me to take care of you along the way, so I knew it when you were still in Huanglong Town half a month ago!"

"Elder?" Lu Yi said in surprise, "How old are you to become an elder?"

The little fairy said triumphantly:

"If you are ambitious, you are not a genius, and you are not the master of the Hong gang crying and shouting to give me a promotion!"

"When I see Uncle Hong after this, I have to talk to him well. ”

The little fairy had a bitter face: "Well, there are some things, as my brother, you still have to be righteous." ”

Lu Yi pointed to the wine and food on the table: "Then who will settle this account tonight, big brother?"

The little fairy patted the bag on his clothes very shamefully and said, "Have you seen a few beggars who bring money to eat?" Don't worry, the eldest brother won't eat you for nothing, and he will take you to eat a good meal in two days to make up for it!"

Lu Yi took over with a smile: "Big brother didn't run this trip specifically for me, right?"

The little fairy stretched out his thumb and praised: "It is worthy of being my little brother, smart, in two days it will be the fiftieth birthday of Fu Canglong, the owner of Fujiazhuang, no?

Lu Yi thought of Fu Liuying he met on the street, and he was reluctant to mix it up again, so he shook his head and said, "I don't want to go." ”

The little fairy asked with some surprise:

"What's the matter? Don't you plan to try your luck in the ring? Miss Fu is a famous beauty! Although she is a little older than you, as the saying goes, female junior, hug the gold brick, don't regret missing it!"

Lu Yi glared at the unabashed little fairy and said, "I already have a fiancée! If you want to go to my house to drink in the future, say less about this kind of thing, and I won't dare to help you if I am beaten!"

"Tut-tut, there is a tigress at home! Haha, little brother, it's so pitiful! But since you're here, it's rude not to visit Fu Canglong, so you can accompany me to drink, and don't go to the ring, how about it?"

The little fairy and Lu Yi chatted more and more speculatively, and the more they looked at it, the more pleasing they became, so they naturally didn't want to let him go like this.

Lu Yi had no choice but to agree.

After eating, the two went upstairs together, the shopkeeper sent a pot of tea and went downstairs to greet other individuals, the two brothers talked with candles until the dead of night, the two made an appointment to meet the day after tomorrow, and the little fairy said goodbye and left.

Although the little fairy is young, he has followed the beggar gang leader Hong Zhen to the north and south since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of things, especially for some strange things in the rivers and lakes.
