Chapter 42: The Adventure of Xiangyang (7)
He Ergou's second day in Xiangyang.
Early in the morning, He Ergou left Xiao Long's father's house.
With Yue Wen in mind, I wanted to go and see what was going on.
There was just an autumn rain last night, and He Ergou was walking on the streets of Xiangyang City in the early morning.
Perhaps because of the cold weather in the early autumn, all the streets were deserted along the way.
He Ergou stepped on the stagnant water on the ground with two feet, making a "popping" sound.
Finally, I saw the magnificent gate of Yue's Mansion from a distance, and now the sky is not yet completely bright, and the gate of Yue's Mansion is still closed.
He Ergou thought: "I'm an outsider, and I don't have much friendship with the Yue Mansion, so I knocked on the door rashly, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion, so let's observe it secretly......"
So, He Ergou looked around, stared at a big tree opposite Yue's Mansion, and looked at this tree closely, it was actually the thickness of five people hugging.
He Ergou kicked his feet hard against the wall, his back against the trunk of the tree, clenched his teeth, and planned to move up little by little.
The trunk of the tree was covered with rain, and He Ergou had to hold a thick branch tightly, otherwise it might fall at any time.
Finally, after the time when there was a pillar of incense, He Ergou almost exhausted his strength and finally found a place to stay.
He stood there cautiously, building a pergola in front of his eyes with his hands, and looked towards the inside of Yue's mansion.
Before, they had a cursory glance outside the door, but this time they did observe the overall situation condescendingly, and He Ergou couldn't help but marvel at the spacious style of the Yue Mansion: entering from the gate was the main hall, and on the left and right sides of the main hall, there were two spacious wings. In the courtyard of the main hall, there is a circular lotus pond, and the vermilion lacquered wooden bridge spans the pond, which is very imposing.
Walking through the path behind the side house, you can see the backyard of Yue's Mansion, which is paved with stone bricks and filled with all kinds of weapons.
Around the backyard, there are also small two-story buildings that are connected to each other......
"Hey, this ancient rich and noble family is so magnificent!" He Ergou couldn't help but be stunned, if such a house was placed in his time, it would definitely be more expensive than a courtyard.
"No," He Ergou shook his head, "I'm here to see Yue Wen." ”
Just after thinking about it, I saw a man sitting in the backyard, quietly petting a big black dog tied to the corner.
Because of the distance, He Ergou couldn't see the man's face clearly, but judging from his body shape and movements, it could basically be judged that it was Yue Wen.
"Then I'll rest assured," He Ergou breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know the Yue family, and I can't help much, I just hope that the arrangements I left behind can ensure that you come back to Yue Daxia, and the rest depends on your creation." ”
Thinking of this, He Ergou put his mind at ease and decided to clean up and return to Xiaoyao Valley.
Just as he was worrying about how to get down from the tree, suddenly a clear shout sounded: "Little thief!
The originally empty and silent street suddenly sounded such a shout, which frightened He Ergou so much that he slipped and was about to fall from the tree.
He Ergou felt empty under his feet, and knew that something was wrong: "It's over, it's over, such a tall tree, I took so much effort when I came up, and I went down so easily, and I didn't fall off my head and bleed...... No, I'll have to struggle!"
Thinking so, He Ergou hurriedly fluttered.
Seeing the ground getting closer and closer, He Ergou instinctively closed his eyes...... a "bang" sounded, He Ergou felt a pain in his leg, "It's over, I specified that it was crippled, and it was about to hurt like broken bones......"
He Ergou closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the baptism of pain.
"What are you doing!"
He Ergou felt a tap on the shoulder.
"I can't see that you are a thief who will do a little bit of effort, and say! What are you doing in this sneaky place!"
He Ergou listened to this voice crisp and bright, it seemed to be heroic, but it sounded like a silver bell. He Ergou wondered in his heart: "This voice...... No, my legs ...... Why does it hurt so much?"
He Ergou slowly opened his eyes and saw himself standing firmly on the ground, and there was a girl with tied hair in front of him.
He Ergou was overjoyed, and he didn't care about any girl, and there was only one thought in his mind: "Will I be light?"
"Falling from such a high place, and landing so steadily, what is this except for light function!!" He Ergou couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
He Ergou was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he didn't care about calming himself down first, after all, he had been bullied in this Jianghu, and now that he had just started to cultivate internal skills, he was already able to master light skills! If he could master a light skill so quickly, could it be that the memories of martial arts had returned?
Under the joy, He Ergou just wanted to find a way to confirm whether he had mastered light skills.
So, he grabbed the shoulders of the girl next to him, shook it vigorously a few times, and asked, "Did you see it? How did I get down just now?"
The girl's face immediately flushed, and she said angrily: "You this!" Halfway through her words, she slapped He Ergou firmly in the face.
He Ergou was stunned for a moment, the voice of Fang Cai's sentence was delicate, and it was still like a silver bell, but the heroic spirit before was gone. "Could it be that it's not a person who is talking?" He Ergou thought.
was carried away by joy before, but at this moment He Ergou covered his face, and then began to look at the woman in front of him in a daze: long hair tied up, a prismatic face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a jade onion, and light lips.
Although it was not a country or a city, it also made He Ergou lose his mind for a while.
"What!" The woman was stared at by He Ergou like this, her face became more and more red, "Look what I'm doing!
"Ah!" He Ergou reacted at this time, and hurriedly apologized: "I was happy because of my personal affairs below, but I didn't consider the difference between men and women, how offensive, and I hope that the girl Haihan." ”
"Girl?" the woman became more and more red-faced, "Wow, which eye can you see that the little master is a girl." ”
When he said this, the heroism in this tone regained seven points.
He Ergou couldn't help but be stunned, this is obviously a girl, but what kind of "master" do you want to say. He took a closer look at the clothes on the woman's body, and then he understood: the girl's face was clean, and there was no rouge and gouache, and her clothes were also dressed in martial arts, with a dull color, and there was no decoration on her body, and then she looked at her hair, which was also deliberately made to look like a man......
"A woman dressed as a man?" He Ergou suddenly realized and couldn't help blurting out.
"Phew!" The woman pretended to be disdainful: "What kind of woman pretends to be a man, the young master is an upright and good man, unlike you, thief eyebrows, sneaky hiding here, what are your intentions!"
"I ......" He Ergou was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to explain, so he had to try to follow her and start the topic with a fork: "This son, just now he had no eyes under him, and He Ergou in Xia Xiaoyao Valley, dare to ask Gongzi's surname?"
"He Ergou?" the woman seemed to have heard the name, "You are the eldest disciple of the Loose Sect?"
"It's down there. ”
He Ergou rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart What are you surprised, am I not like it?
But in the next second, the girl said, "It doesn't look like it!"
He Ergou raised his forehead and said, "That...... Dare to ask this son's name?"
"I can't say that I enjoy a big name, my name is Luo Jingxian, and the Jianghu Ranger is also. ”
He Ergou secretly laughed in his heart: "How can a Jianghu Ranger say that he is a Jianghu Ranger, a girl, she will definitely not use such a name, I'm afraid it is also her own pseudonym." ”
He Ergou saw that Yue Wen's affairs were temporarily settled, and he had nothing to do here at the moment, so it was better to talk to this "son", and he should pay a compensation.
Thinking of this, He Ergou arched his hand and said, "This son, would you like to go to the drunken Xiaolou with your younger brother?"
Luo Xianxian pondered for a moment and nodded.
