Early in the morning of the second day, Fang Zhan and the four of them washed normally, and after breakfast, they wanted to be separated from Yi Xingbei Road, but the innkeeper said that he had left. So the four of them came to the river, only to find that it was next to the double-decker ship that was moored last night, and Yi Xingbei was standing there. Behind him was the servant girl Hong Luo, but at this time Hong Luo was carrying a long wooden box behind him.

Yi Xingbei saw a few people coming, smiled rarely, and said, "I thought about saying goodbye, but if I think about it, it's better to meet." After speaking, he arched his hands and said: "Last night's gathering, fate is not shallow, if you get together again in the future, you should invite the moon to get drunk together, and you will never sleep." ”

Fang Zhan and the three of them also made a polite gesture.

Then Yi Xingbei slowly got on the boat, it was the double-decker ship. It's just that there are many people on the ship at this time, and there are people standing on both floors, and the momentum is majestic.

Yi Xingbei didn't take another look at Li Xuanyi from beginning to end, but when the maidservant Hongluo was about to get on the boat, he glanced at Li Xuanyi fixedly, and his eyes were a little unpredictable.

With a shout, the big ship slowly sailed off the shore. It can be seen that after Yi Xingbei got on the boat, someone immediately bowed down and greeted him into the cabin.

Fang Zhan and a few people looked at it, and Lao Yutou shouted with laughter: "What are you doing if you don't get on the boat yet, and wait for me to invite you?"

Old man Yun smiled: "Get on the boat!"

A few people got on the boat and saw that the big ship where Yi Xingbei was was already far ahead and was gradually moving away.

Shang Ke stood at the bow of the boat and couldn't help but say: "This Yi Xingbei is not simple." ”

There are really very few people who can say that it is not simple in Shang Ke's mouth, Li Xuanyi looked at him and said, "He is very fast, but you keep your hand, I know." ”

Shang Ke turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Look at him stupidly." ”

Li Xuanyi frowned: "Is he stupid, or are you stupid? Someone looks at me like that, aren't you angry?"

Shang Ke thought for a while and said, "Why are you angry? You are already very beautiful, and he looks at you like that, which proves my blessing!"

Li Xuanyi didn't know whether to be angry or happy for a while, so he stayed there, not left and right.

Shang Ke tilted his head, leaned behind her, secretly put his hands under her armpits, hooked his fingers, and Li Xuanyi ran away with a smile.

Fang Zhan shouted on the side: "Can you be tense, there are still three big living people here!"

Li Xuanyi turned around, looked at him with a smile, and said, "I'm in a hurry!"

Fang Zhan tilted his head, leaned over to the boat, and said, "Why are you in a hurry? I'm not nothing, I already have someone in my head!"

Li Xuanyi blinked his eyes and came to Fang Zhan's side, and Shang Ke immediately came over to join in the fun. Li Xuanyi put on a wicked smile and asked, "Tell me, tell us, which one, that one, how old is it, how good is it, how long has it been, quick, tell me quickly!"

Fang Zhan didn't expect an unintentional sentence to provoke such a big reaction from the two of them, glared at the two of them, and shouted: "No! Lie! Can't hear it?"

Old Yu Tou sighed behind him: "It's noisy, it's noisy!

Old man Yun leaned against the boat gang, and when he had nothing to do, he would tap his fingers on the hilt of the sword comfortably. After knocking, his face will be very satisfied, and it seems that for him, this action has always been his way to relieve his emotions.

Along the way, you will often see the pillars of the protector of the country rising from the sky, and as you get farther and farther away, there are more and more pillars of the protector of the country. Regarding the Protector Divine Pillar, all the people of the Gaotang Kingdom have long been accustomed to it. I know that it is because of several devastating earthquakes many years ago that caused extremely serious ground cracks, and later Emperor Wuling, the lord of the Gaotang Dynasty, is said to be a flying dragon in a dream, guiding him to form an alliance with the Phantom Sea Dynasty, using the unique smelting technology of the Phantom Sea Dynasty and the island condensation technology, in the territory of the Gaotang Dynasty, 9,800 iron pillars to the sky were erected, which were connected together with giant chains to fix the crack zone and prevent the irreparable earth crack caused by the earthquake again.

The morning was fine, and several people were talking and laughing all the time. In the afternoon, Fang Zhan leaned on the corner of the boat gang, quietly looking at the river, and never said a word again.

Shang Ke and Li Xuanyi came to encourage him to play some small games and the like several times, but they were also sent away by Fang Zhan with a cold face. In the end, the two of them ignored him and went to the other side to guess rock-paper-scissors, so Shang Ke's face turned into pork liver again and again, and Li Xuanyi's smile became brighter and brighter. Fang Zhan has always ignored this.

Finally, Ya'er said softly: "Fang Zhan, I know, it's almost to the boundary of Qionghua Prefecture, you feel uncomfortable, Ya'er will talk to you, okay?"

Fang Zhan smiled bitterly: "My father never told me where he and my mother lived in Qionghua Prefecture. What can I do when I arrive? I have arrived in Qionghua Prefecture, but there are more than a thousand miles around here, and I don't know where to go if I want to see it?"

Ya'er said: "If your father doesn't tell you, isn't he afraid that you will come to Qionghua Prefecture to investigate without permission? According to what your father said in his letter, the place where he and your mother live has long been turned to ashes, even if you see it, what can you do?"

Fang Zhan sighed and said, "I just want to see, nothing else, I just want to see." ”

Ya'er was silent for a while and said, "Fang Zhan, I have something I have always wanted to say to you. ”

Fang Zhan was stunned: "What?"

Ya'er said: "Actually, now that you are now, you should put your mother in advance, because it is really useless." Your four neighbors, if there is anything they can do over the years, should have done something about it. Therefore, you should still be yourself first, so as to accumulate more strength in the future, so that even if one day it really comes out, you at least have your own ability, and you don't have to rely on others completely. ”

Fang Zhan said in a low voice: "I know, I've been doing it all the time, but I know that I am about to arrive in Qionghua Prefecture, I will inevitably have heartache, it's okay, it's okay for a while." ”

Ya'er said a little sadly: "In this life, as long as there is hope, no matter how much suffering you experience, it is worth it." I'm afraid that I know that there are some things that must be done, but I can't get anything back if I do it. This is the real bitterness. ”

Fang Zhan didn't ask Ya'er what this sentence meant, but just muttered to her: "It must be done, and if you do it, you can't get anything back, it's really bitter." ”

Li Xuanyi's laughter was still bright.

Shang Ke's face turned even purple.

Old Yu occasionally casually roared the river tune.

Old Man Yun's snoring resounded across the river.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, Old Man Yun woke up slowly: "Girl, is it almost to Qionghua Prefecture?"

Li Xuanyi was playing, and turned around and said, "Yes, it should be almost there, right, Old Man Yu?"

Lao Yutou shouted from behind: "The next ferry is the green reed crossing, and when I get there in the evening, it is the boundary of Qionghua Prefecture." ”

Fang Zhan looked at Old Man Yun and said to Ya'er: "This Old Man Yun has always been confused, sometimes he seems to be awake, sometimes he is very confused, cough, I want to ask something from his mouth, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”

Ya'er thought for a moment and said, "That sword on his head is the key. The reason why he was confused must be the reason for the sword. It's just not known who exactly inserted this sword. If Li Xuanyi's father could really take this sword, then he might know everything. ”

Fang Zhan said: "He is going to Qionghua Prefecture, and he will arrive when he sees it, and it is estimated that he will be separated from us." Besides, he never took the sword again, and I don't think he wanted to take it himself. ”

The buds were silent.

Fang Zhan came to Old Man Yun's side again, and tried to ask several times, but to no avail. I could only shake my head helplessly.

The Green Reed Crossing is a relatively large ferry. By the time the ship reached the shore, there were already dozens of boats docked there.

Old Yu took a rare moored the boat and followed them ashore. In his words, it is, "Always be kind to yourself at some point." ”

After being led by the old man, several people quickly found a place where they could stay and eat. Look up, "Ferry Head Inn". The innkeeper was also familiar with Lao Yutou, and when he saw a few of them coming, he was very enthusiastic and let them in. I found a table opposite the window, and several people gathered together. The shopkeeper quickly asked someone to bring tea first, with some simple melon seed snacks. And after a while, eight dishes were served, four cold and four hot.

When he was almost halfway through the meal, Old Man Yun smiled and said: "This is the boundary of Qionghua Prefecture, after this meal, my old man will no longer follow you, these days, I have also filled in a lot of trouble for you, thank you." ”

Li Xuanyi blinked, and couldn't help asking, "Old Man Yun, then don't you take this sword on your head?"

Old man Yun smiled and said, "This sword, I never said that I would take it off, you think, this sword is really going to be pulled out, how can my old man still be alive." Don't take it, don't take it. He waved his hand as he spoke.

Li Xuanyi thought for a while and said: "If the old man really wants to pull out this sword one day, he can go to Zhuli Village, Kun County, Yanzhou to find a Li Langzhong, don't talk big, if he can't take it out, there is really no one in this world who can take it out." ”

Old man Yun looked at Li Xuanyi fixedly and said, "Girl, you are kind. My old man can tell what is good and what is bad. This sword, there may be many people who know it, and they all want to pull it out. But no one would think about my old man's safety. Well, except for the one surnamed Sun, it's you. But to be honest, I really don't want to and can't take it off, and there is a case in everything, in case one of them is not done well, and it takes my old man's life, how can I eat? Why do I drink?

When a few people saw that he insisted, it was difficult to say anything.

Old Man Yun is gone.

Several people were sent outside the door to watch him disappear into the twilight. The thin and withered back, with the sword stuck in the head in a strange and strange way, was a little ridiculous, a little desolate, and a little lonely.

When he returned to the table and sat around the table, Shang Ke was surprised: "What about Fang Zhan?" Then he saw a line of words written on the table stained with tea: "If I don't come back at night, don't wait for me, I'll catch up!"
