Chapter 217: Showing Off Your Skills (I)
Dongfang Hong cried: "Third brother, he... He... He's dead!"
As soon as he said this, Gao Li and the others buzzed in their heads.
Gao Qi said in a trembling voice: "You... What do you say?"
Li Qingshi was even more furious, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted to the ground.
Gao Qi was startled and hurriedly pinched other people's acupoints. Li Qingshi woke up slowly, and two lines of tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
Gao Qi saw that he was fine, and said to Dongfang Hong: "You said Yu'er... He... He's dead? He's... How did he die? Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Dongfang Hong told Lin Gongyu how he was knocked off the cliff by his father, Li Qingshi was sad and sad, and he got up and rushed over to kill him. Gao Qi grabbed him and said, "There is a debtor who is wronged, and it has nothing to do with him." ”
Gao Qi was even more sad in his heart, he promised Chen Wanxing to take care of Lin Gongyu, but if Lin Gongyu died, how could he be worthy of the dying trust of the love of his life?
Gao Qi pulled Li Qingshi on his horse and galloped away, leaving Dongfang Hong alone in the cold night.
Dongfang Hong felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, he saw that after Gao Qi heard the news that Lin Gongyu fell off the cliff and died, the little good impression on his face that had risen on his face became stiff and cold. At this moment, how much he hopes that the person who fell off the cliff and died is himself, if so, will there be people in this world who will be sad and sad about his death?
Dongfang Hong couldn't help but think: "Will Miss Xue be sad for me? What about the third brother? Daddy, eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely feel sorry for me." When he thought of his father, eldest brother and sister-in-law, his heart became even more uncomfortable. But he didn't want to go home, he didn't want to see his father kill again.
The fire burned out, and Dongfang Hong did not add firewood to it. He looked at the void in a daze, only to feel that between the vast heaven and the earth, it was full of loneliness and desolation. He thought, "It would be nice if the eldest brother and third brother were here!" He looked around, and had heard the old servant of the family say that there were many jackals and beasts in Liaodong, but at this moment, there was not even a single wolf.
When Dongfang Hong woke up again, he only felt that he was lying somewhere, his ears were crunching wheels, and his nose was full of the smell of herbs. When he opened his eyes, he saw himself in a cart full of tightly tied sacks, on top of which he lay down.
He looked around, and saw that it was a convoy, with more than a dozen carts, each of which was tied with dozens of sacks, and he thought that it was full of medicinal herbs.
There were more than a dozen men in strong suits in the front and rear of the convoy, all with swords hanging from their waists, and they all looked like they had martial arts. There was a covered carriage in front of Dongfang Hong's car, and there was an old man in his fifties riding a horse next to the car. He thought to himself that the owner of this convoy must be in this car.
Dongfang Hong couldn't remember how he ran to the carriage where people were pulling medicinal herbs, and was about to ask the old man on horseback, when suddenly a girl popped out of the ear window on the side of the carriage.
When the girl saw that Dongfang Hong was awake, she smiled and said, "You are awake!
Dongfang Hong saw this girl's round face, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she suddenly remembered Yue Sirou's coming, thinking that she was still halfway through, and couldn't help but regret it, and couldn't help but think: "Where will she be now?"
Seeing that he was dumbfounded and did not speak, the girl asked again, "Are you from the Great Song Dynasty or from the Khitan?"
Dongfang Hong came back to his senses at this time, grinned, and said, "I'm from Song!"
The girl smiled and said to the car: "Daddy, I'm right! He is from the Song Dynasty, not from the Khitan!"
Dongfang Hong thought to himself: "Their father and daughter bet on whether I am a Song or a Khitan!"
The voice of an old man in the car said, "Why do the Song people wear Khitan clothes?"
The girl said to Dongfang Hong: "My father asked you, why do you wear Khitan clothes even from the Song people?"
Dongfang Hong said: "My own clothes are torn, and there are no Song people's clothes to buy here, so I have to wear Khitan clothes!"
The old man in the car sighed and said, "The barbarian state, how can they wear their clothes without the civilization of the saints?"
Although Dongfang Hong has also learned the way of sages, he has never had these pedantic views as a martial artist, and he laughed in his heart, secretly thinking: "If I freeze to death, I won't have any life, and I don't care if he is a barbarian or not." ”
The girl said to the man on horseback, "Butler, go and change your clothes for him." ”
Dongfang Hongyuan wanted to refuse, but he thought that this girl was also well-intentioned, so it would be rude to refuse categorically, so he didn't say anything.
The girl said to him again, "What's your name, and why did you come to Liaodong?"
Dongfang Hong said: "In Xiahong, I have never been to Liaodong, but I just came here to have a look." How am I... How did you get here?"
Your girl smiled and said, "You forgot? You fainted from the cold on the ground, and I saved you." You're really fateful, fortunately my father passed by, otherwise you would have fed the wolves even if you didn't freeze to death. ”
Dongfang Hong said: "Is there really a wolf here?"
The girl said: "Naturally, there is, and it is very fierce." Don't you see that we have so many retinues with us?"
Dongfang Hong sighed, thinking: "Bringing so many people just to prevent wolves is too much of a fuss." ”
The convoy traveled seventy or eighty miles before stopping, and it was getting late, and there was nowhere to stay in all directions, so they set up tents in the open field. At this time, the old man in the car got out of the car, and Dongfang Hong saw his appearance clearly, only to see that the old man was in his sixtieth year, with a ruddy complexion and a luxurious robe, as if he was a businessman on the rich side.
The old man smiled at him and went in. The housekeeper brought Dongfang Hong a clean set of clothes, Dongfang Hong changed, borrowed a scraper from a bodyguard, and shaved his beard, he has been unkempt these days, plus his face is full of dust, he looks old and ugly, at this time he not only changed his clothes, but also washed his face and shaved his beard, and became the young master of Yulong Villa.
When the girl saw it, her eyes couldn't help but light up, she nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "This looks more like our Great Song people!
Dongfang Hong smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the girl's name?"
The girl said: "My surname is Su, and my name is Su Haitang." ”
Dongfang Hong said: "Miss Su, did you come to Liaodong to buy medicinal materials?"
Su Haitang said with a smile: "Otherwise, what are you doing here?"
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in all directions, and the bodyguards drew their swords and surrounded several tents.
Su Haitang's face changed greatly, and he said, "Oh no, the Khitan robbers are here to rob you!"
Master Su got out of the tent, and when he saw hundreds of Khitans on horseback surrounding everyone in all directions, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright. He pushed his daughter and said, "Go into the tent." ”
Although Su Haitang was afraid, he was reluctant to leave his father's side, and said, "Dad, I want to protect you by your side!"
