"Phantom Spear (4)" Chapter 37: The Gray Guys
Last time, Jiang Feng and his party were walking on the road, and they were about to encounter a rainstorm, Jiang Feng and the others forgot to bring their umbrellas because they were in a hurry, but Tan Yuan was the only one who remembered this, and Gui Xuerou laughed at him for this. Gui Xuerou remembered her kindness and wanted to shelter Xiao Duyu from the wind and rain, but Xiao Duyu wanted to be with Jiang Feng and Huang Yue, so she declined her kindness.
Jiang Feng looked at the sky, the rain was as big as soybeans, and he couldn't help but sigh: "After so many days, I have encountered many rains, and today can be regarded as the biggest one." Huang Yue smiled and said, "Brother Jiang Feng, your shirt seems to be about to get soaked, and the rain will be drenched on me and Sister Xiao." Jiang Feng squinted and saw that the rain had accumulated on his shirt and was about to overflow. Although Gui Xuerou was holding an umbrella on the side, it was not enough to use such a small umbrella for such a bean-sized rain. She stomped her foot irritably, but she stepped on the mud again, and her mood suddenly became terrible, and she scolded: "What the hell is this? It's late autumn, and there is actually a summer rainstorm, which is really abnormal." Tan Yuan heard her words, so he continued: "I heard my father say before, in the beginning of every year, there is a dragon raising its head, the dragon king every year at that time, he will raise his head, and suddenly he will call for wind and rain, swallow clouds and spit fog, and the rainstorm will come suddenly; Gui Xuerou listened to his voice mixed with the sound of rain, and the boredom in her heart became more intense, and she asked again: "What is the Dragon King, why does he have to turn over the rain and clouds every time he passes, and make the world restless, he is a good god, but don't the people worship him every year? Why does he still cause so much trouble to us." Tan Yuan was speechless for a while, unable to answer.
At this time, Jiang Feng's shirt had been completely soaked, seeping down and dripping on Huang Yue's face, Huang Yue couldn't help but scream: "Ah, it's so cold!" Jiang Feng lowered his head to look at her, and Xiao Duyu took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to help her wipe it. Huang Yue was happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you Sister Xiao, Brother Jiang Feng, it's not a way to go on like this, we are all going to get wet." Jiang Feng was also very helpless, after all, it was raining so heavily outside, even if he brought an oil-paper umbrella, it would be useless, let alone one of his single-gown shirts. Jiang Feng began to unbutton the second layer of clothes again, and Huang Yue immediately stopped: "Brother Jiang Feng, it's already very cold, if you take it off again, you will definitely catch a cold, I don't want you to take care of you after you fall ill on the road." As soon as she finished speaking, another drop of rain fell onto her face. Jiang Feng had no choice, he knew that he would only be able to save it for a while, but as the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, as a friend of Huang Yue and Xiao Duyu, no matter how cold he was, he had to ensure the warmth of the two of them.
Gui Xuerou suddenly walked over and said, "Hey, Pavilion Master Jiang, I'm very tired from holding my hands, you can help me hold up for a while." Jiang Feng naturally heard what she meant, and knew that she wanted to share this only umbrella with everyone. Jiang Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, but Miss Xiao, let's support it for you, it's not a way to stay like this all the time in such a pouring rain, I'll go to the front to find out first, see if there are any people or caves, and when I find it, I'll come back to pick you up, and everyone will go over together." Xiao Duyu showed a worried look on her face, and said with concern: "Brother Jiang, now that you go out alone, I'm afraid that there will be danger, so it's better to wait here for a while!" Jiang Feng nodded slowly, but said: " I don't think this rain will stop for a while, if we don't hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain now, I'm afraid that we will not be able to get wet by then, and we may be submerged, this side of the bush is low, I am afraid that we will not stay long, and when the water level rises, we still have to choose to be forced to leave. So, why don't I go and explore the neighborhood now? Xiao Duyu nodded slowly, naturally knowing that what he said made sense. Huang Yue immediately stopped and said: "Brother Jiang Feng, you still don't want to go alone, the rain is so heavy, it is very dangerous for you to ride a horse alone, it is better for us all to go together, this will also take care of each other." Jiang Feng immediately vetoed it and said, "No, Xiaoyue, you all should wait for me here." It is precisely because the rain is so heavy, and now it is my late autumn season, in case of wind and cold, it is really worth the loss, my Jiang Feng has rough skin and thick meat, and he is quite good at exercising on weekdays, this little rain is nothing, you just wait quietly for my good news. Huang Yue was still talking, but Jiang Feng had already walked towards his white horse, and when he saw his beloved mount shivering in the rain, he was also very unbearable in his heart, but he forgot the cold of his body for a while. Tan Yuan stepped forward and said, "Pavilion Master Jiang, why don't you let me go with you." Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "Brother Tan, when I am away, you have to protect the three girls well, if they have any problems, I will not spare you when I come back." Tan Yuan was about to say more, Jiang Feng had already picked up his gun and mounted his horse and rushed out. Huang Yue shouted: "Brother Jiang Feng, be careful all the way!" Jiang Feng didn't answer, and he didn't know if he heard it or not. Gui Xuerou couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, I really deserve to be the owner of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, and he is really a well-known man, I really admire the owner of the Jiang Pavilion now." ”
Jiang Feng drew his own gun marks on the trees he walked through along the road, so that he could easily identify the direction, otherwise it would be rain and fog, and if he went around in this wood, he would really not be able to find the north. Jiang Feng rode a horse about ten miles away, and he didn't find a pedestrian on the road, and the tea stalls that can usually be seen everywhere suddenly disappeared without a trace, it seems that this rainstorm has affected many people's business and travel.
At this time, Gui Xuerou seemed to hear some footsteps mixed with the sound of rain, and the vigilance in her heart was secretly born, and she said in her heart: With such a heavy rain, there are still people near us. As soon as her thoughts came to this, Huang Yue couldn't help but say, "Sister Xiao, look, why do those people keep staring at us. Xiao Duyu looked in the direction of Huang Yue's finger and saw many people. The group was dressed in gray clothes, with a cloak on the outside, and hats on their heads, and their faces were extremely ugly. Xiao Duyu couldn't help but gasp and said, "It can't be such a coincidence, as soon as Brother Jiang left, the gangsters came out." When Huang Yue heard the word "villain", she panicked in her heart, and said, "Sister Xiao, how is this good?" Gui Xuerou looked very calm at this time, she didn't change her previous charming smile, and said in a coquettish voice: "Yo, those heroes in front of you are all quite handsome." The group of men with hats remained silent at all, and the leader stepped forward slightly, and said sharply: "Who are you? Why are you here?" Gui Xuerou smiled coquettishly: "Look at what you said, this is not raining heavily, and we are unlucky, if we don't hide under this tree to avoid the rain, where else can we go?" The leader said: "Just to avoid the rain? I don't think it's that simple, right?" Gui Xuerou said disdainfully: "It's not to avoid the rain, then what is the reason? You can tell me about it." The leader frowned slightly, and shouted: "Hmph, don't pretend to be garlic, along the way, we have also met a lot of people like you, but they all died at our hands one by one, I advise you to quickly admit your identity, so as not to regret it later." Tan Yuan saw that the situation was a little bad, so he said loudly: "Everyone, don't misunderstand, what this girl said just now is indeed true, we did stop here to avoid the rain, and as soon as the rain stops, we will leave, we will not block your way, please take care of yourself." "After all, he is the young hall master of Shandong Yujian Gate, and he has learned many things from his father, and he still understands the principles and rules of the rivers and lakes. However, the man in gray didn't seem to appreciate it, he turned around and whispered a few words to the nine companions behind him, and then said: "Who are you and where are you going, if you answer and the result satisfies us, we won't embarrass you today!" Gui Xuerou was originally unhappy in her heart, and when she heard them say this, she said even more imposingly: "Who are you? Where are you going? If you tell this girl, this girl will not embarrass you today." The gray-clothed man snorted coldly and said, "Little girl, don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick at a young age, it seems that I want to give you some color today." Gui Xuerou was not afraid at all, and immediately pulled out her cold jade sword, and the emerald green of the cold jade sword on the rain-soaked sword became even deeper......
