Chapter 100: The Trail
Sun Qiao'er still lowered her head and sobbed, as if she was still complaining about Xiangyu for not saying that she should be allowed to stay, but considering that Li Yuanchen was not easy to say here, she could only bow her head and be silent, and she didn't pay attention to Xiangyu.
Seeing that she ignored herself, Lian Xiangyu knew that she must be complaining about herself: "What's the matter, is my sister blaming my sister, shouldn't I let you stay?"
Although she thought so in her heart, Sun Qiaoer said no.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Then I think, it must have something to do with that little bastard!"
Sun Qiao'er said: "You are not allowed to say that about him!"
Lian Xiangyu looked at Sun Qiao'er's red eyes, the big tears were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, looking aggrieved and pitiful, she couldn't help but think that she had also experienced being hurt by a man, and her sympathy was getting deeper and deeper, so she gently pulled away a chair and sat down facing Sun Qiaoer.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Sister, just like my sister said just now, men, they are not good things. ”
Although he didn't say this to Li Yuanchen, who was lying on the bed next to him, Li Yuanchen always felt a little strange in his heart when he heard it, and he couldn't help but move again.
Lian Xiangyu looked at him, and then turned her head to look at Sun Qiao'er, Qiao'er's face hung down like a wilted flower, and Lian Xiangyu stretched out two jade-like smooth hands, and gently held Sun Qiaoer's face between his hands.
"Sister Hugh is going to cry again, if you continue to cry, not only him, I'm afraid there will be no man in the world who likes you. ”
Sun Qiao'er doesn't care about other men, she only cares about one person in her heart, that is, Qi Ying'er.
And she also knew that Qi Ying'er wouldn't dislike her, so why would he say such things to hurt himself? Is he really a burden to him, a burden that can't be shaken off?
Sun Qiao'er thought carefully, and tears also froze on her long eyelashes.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Okay, okay, just don't cry." My sister only knows how to cry, but have you ever thought carefully about why?"
Sun Qiao'er shook her head, her voice was a little hoarse, and said, "Why?"
"Silly sister, you don't even know why, you cry so hard, aren't you wasting a lot of tears in vain?"
Wasting tears? Sun Qiao'er doesn't seem to understand, is tears a precious thing?
Of course, tears are very precious things, especially for women, tears are a very powerful weapon, even the strongest men in the world will be easily defeated and subdued by women's tears. Sun Qiao'er didn't have much contact with men, but Lian Xiangyu knew it very well in her heart. She didn't know how many tears she had left for men to understand this truth, and she didn't know how many men were crazy about her tears.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Although nine out of ten men in the world are bad, and one is specifically against women, but my sister's one is an exception." ”
Sun Qiao'er blinked and said, "Why is he exceptional?"
"Silly girl, isn't it clear? Isn't the reason why he wants you to stay is to carry out that task alone? Although there are many masters secretly protecting him, who knows if there will be an emergency? So he would rather take that risk himself than let you take the risk with him. Got it?"
"But that's what we did! How could he...... And why did he say that to me?"
"He talks like that so that you don't cling to him when he's gone, and he wants to make you angry so that you don't see him. In this way, he will feel that there is no concern and put his mind at ease. Let's not talk about the right or wrong way to do this, but at least he has a good heart. ”
Sun Qiao'er was silent, was he really saying such a thing to himself because of this? She carefully recalled Qi Ying'er's words - "It's more relaxed."
Sun Qiao'er thought: "Maybe Ying'er means that she won't worry about me when she performs the task, and she doesn't think I'm a burden, it's really me who misunderstood him." ”
Lian Xiangyu saw that the sad face on Sun Qiao'er's face gradually melted, so she smiled happily: "It seems that my sister has figured it out? ”
"Well, but he must think I'm angry now, I must tell him that I will take care of Uncle Li Yuanchen and then go to him. ”
"Okay, then wipe your little tears, they should be pretty much done......"
Lian Xiangyu stood up, walked to the window, seemed to hear a lot of horses' hooves, and said, "Go, go and say goodbye to your little lover!"
When Sun Qiao'er heard this, her face was full of red clouds, "I'm not a little lover!"
Lian Xiangyu walked over and took Sun Qiao'er's hand to go downstairs. This is Li Yuanchen also sat up and said, "That, I, I also want to say goodbye to everyone." "Somehow, in front of two women, I said that I was not good in a short sentence.
Sun Qiao'er said: "Ah, I was just thinking about other things, and I accidentally ignored Uncle Li, I'm really sorry, Uncle Li, I'll help you down." ”
Huang'an Town was originally just an ordinary town, but since everyone came here, it has been lively for many days. Now there are ten horses in front of the inn, which has attracted the attention of many people, but fortunately, the people in Huang'an Town are not very good.
Liang Laosan picked left and right among the ten horses, and finally fell in love with a black and brown horse. "That's you!"
Sora smiled and said, "What's the matter, beggars also have to ride horses?"
Liang Laosan said: "What's the matter? monks can ride horses, why can't beggars ride?"
Li Yuanchen and Sun Qiao'er said goodbye to everyone, Sun Qiao'er saw that Qi Ying'er was still looking around and didn't look at herself, she felt angry and funny, so she walked up to him and said, "Don't you want to say a few words to me?"
Qi Ying'er was suddenly a little at a loss, "What do you say?" Qi Ying'er was surprised that she accidentally muttered out what she was thinking, and then looked at Sun Qiao'er's appearance and didn't seem to hear it, so she said, "Then, take care." ”
Sun Qiao'er burst out laughing, and after receiving the smile, she also said gently: "You also take care." I'll be looking for you soon. ”
"Hmm. Qi Ying'er didn't deliberately avoid Sun Qiao'er's gaze this time, he now felt that Sun Qiao'er was really beautiful, and his heartbeat was beating faster and faster.
Sun Qiao'er took Qi Ying'er's hand, stuffed something into her hand, and returned to Li Yuanchen to help him.
Lian Xiangyu sighed quietly on the side: "How good." ”
Ling Quanfei said in her ear, "It's time to go." ”
Lian Xiangyu looked at him: "When will you see me blushing?"
Ling Quanfei stepped on the horse, "When it's hot." ”
Lian Xiangyu stomped her feet, had a few words with Sun Qiao'er, and got on the horse.
The sun has set in the west, and it does not hesitate to sprinkle the golden light on the earth, and clothe the earth with gold.
Sun Qiaoer and Li Yuanchen stood on the street, looking at the backs of this group of people in the distance.
Li Yuanchen said: "The rivers and lakes can be saved!"
Sun Qiao'er said with a smile: "Why did Uncle Li say it so desolate and tragic, like an elegy. I'm sure they'll be safe......" Her eyes remained on the boy on horseback, "I believe." ”
This is Qi Yinger's second time riding a horse, and unlike the last time, he is so relaxed this time, enjoying the feeling of galloping on a horse.
Let the wind run past your ears until it disappears below the horizon.
Night falls. The night sky is deep, and there is silence all around. In the distance, there were a few owl cooing sounds.
The horses were also tired, and the people dismounted, and led the horses along a small dirt road.
They ran all the way south along Huang'an Avenue and reached Hanjiakou, then turned southeast to take the trail. Although this road is desolate, it is indeed a shortcut, and if you don't take this road, you will go in a big circle. Don't say half a month, don't think about reaching Wanling Mountain without forty or fifty days.
But shortcuts have benefits, and naturally they have disadvantages. The disadvantage is that the road here is thin and long, and it is a little inconvenient for two people and two horses to walk side by side, and the road stretches to the halfway up the mountain, and there is a naturally formed road halfway up the mountain. Some people say that how could such a road be formed naturally? Many people suspect that it was the ancient emperor Xuanren who secretly started the construction, and it has not been recorded in history.
This is not unreasonable, just because this road is too convenient, and the shape and size are too suitable for people to pass through, which is really convenient. If it is a natural formation, why is it that such a mountain has this road, and it runs through the whole mountain.
But if it is said that it is man-made, the mountain wall in the tunnel is not polished flat and smooth, but the strange stones are uneven, uneven, and sometimes there are a little more people will touch the two walls of stones. Some people also explained, saying that it may be that the tools and techniques were not developed in the past and could not be polished, so they could not be done meticulously. Therefore, some local officials once organized officers and soldiers to repair the road with the people, but no matter how they smashed it with an iron hammer or chisel with an iron chisel, they could not shake the mountain stone in the slightest.
Since then, people can't help but have some awe, and they have said that this is not man-made or natural, it is the mountain god who manifested his spirit, so that this Yongdao was made, in order to make everyone fear this mountain and the mountain god. Therefore, this mountain is also named - Kui Mountain, and this road is also known as "Tongtian Road".
Before the people reached the foot of Kuishan, they heard the howling of the cloudy wind, like the wailing of a hundred ghosts. Lian Xiangyu was a woman, although she was a powerful and beautiful woman, but when she heard the gloomy voice, she couldn't help but shrink her body and slowly leaned towards Ling Quanfei.
Ling Quanfei said: "You will also be afraid?"
Lian Xiangyu glared at him: "I'm also a woman, don't you know that women are afraid of ghosts?"
Ling Quanfei said: "I didn't expect that even you would be afraid." With that, he led the horse and walked forward.
Lian Xiangyu stomped her foot: "Do you say I'm not a woman!
Liang Laosan sneezed: "Don't say it, it's really a little cold." ”
Kong smiled and said, "Are you afraid of the cold? You only wear this ripped clothes in winter, and a little wind blows you cold?"
Liang Laosan said: "Of course it's not the wind, if it's just the wind, even if it's blowing all over the sky, I still hold my head high and stride into it, but it's just ......."
"Just?"
Liang Laosan suddenly became serious: "It's just that this wind is a bit evil." ”
Not only him, but even Qi Ying'er felt that something was wrong. It's really quiet. Now there is not even a hint of wind.
Sometimes too quiet is a bad sign.
Jiang Chuanhai is deaf and clear even at night, even if a hedgehog plucks the grass, he can immediately find it accurately, but now, he can't hear a sound, can't see a trace of movement, and cold sweat is slightly dripping on his forehead.
Hong Hanming said: "Is there an ambush?"
Jiang Chuanhai said: "It's hard to say. But if someone is really ambushed, it's a *annoyance. ”
Lian Xiangyu didn't seem to understand, and said softly: "Oh?"
Ling Quanfei said: "If someone is really ambushed, with this ability to hide the breath, it must not be underestimated." I'm afraid it's not an ordinary master on the rivers and lakes. ”
Lian Xiangyu quickly followed, and asked again: "There are all forests around, is it difficult to hide your body?"
Ling Quanfei said with a hint of ridicule: "Don't you think that from the very beginning, there has been no wind? Since there is no wind, even if you take a breath, with Jiang Tang Master's insight into kung fu, how can you not notice it?"
Lian Xiangyu said: "Doesn't that mean that there is no one? ”
Ling Quanfei didn't want to argue with her, and now was really not the time to argue with her, because he himself had to keep an eye on his surroundings at all times.
Lian Xiangyu said: "Why don't you ignore me?"
This is Feng Yu said: "Poor girl, our Hall Master Jiang has already raised twelve points of defense, which means that there is danger here, because Hall Master Jiang has never missed it, otherwise it will ......"
Jiang Chuanhai continued: "Otherwise, I will die more than twenty times." ”
Lian Xiangyu said: "Then just stop and take a closer look! See if there is anyone in the end, now that we have been walking, won't the sound of horses' hooves and their breathing affect the judgment?"
Yi Wanxuan walked in the front, but he turned around and said: "You can't stop, everyone, otherwise you will startle the snake, we will maintain this speed." Talk as quietly as possible so that they don't get close enough to hear us. ”
Lian Xiangyu couldn't stand the nervousness that this group of men brought to her, so she slowed down a little and waited for Qi Ying'er and Kong to come forward.
This is when she sees it, Kong and Qi Ying'er are also vigilant, especially Qi Ying'er, his hand holding the hilt of the sword seems to be weak, but if you look closely, there are clear blood vessels in your hands.
Lian Xiangyu began to think: "Sure enough, all men are the same, whether they are old or young, alas, it would be nice if Sister Qiao'er was by my side." ”
Everyone raised their guard like this and continued to walk forward, and when they reached the foot of Kuishan Mountain, Yi Wanxuan suddenly stopped. Not only him, but everyone else stopped, one by one, suddenly like iron nails nailed to the ground.
Lian Xiangyu wanted to ask what was wrong, but she didn't need to ask, she had already seen a scene that she might not want to recall in her life.
Everyone's eyes widened, everyone's face was like a blank sheet of paper, and everyone's back was cold sweat.
A gust of wind blew towards everyone with a fishy smell. But everyone just stood, and no one spoke first. It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it, and I don't know how to say it.
Qi Ying'er only felt that a fishy wind would be poured into his mouth, and his stomach was already turning over the river.
The beggar Liang Laosan no longer has that kind of indifferent face, and Jiang Chuanhai's face like an iron plate will twitch.
Feng Yu and Qin Ping only felt cold hands and feet.
Hong Hanming's hands trembled uncontrollably.
Ling Quanfei was stunned by the scene in front of him, Yi Wanxuan hadn't seen this situation in thirty years.
Only empty, put his hands together, and said: "Amitabha".
