Chapter 11: Descending the Mountain

Fu Ning heard another knock on the door, this was the first time he had lost count, he knew that the senior brothers and sisters were worried about him, he also wanted to get up and open the door, wanted to laugh at them, wanted to tell them that he was okay, but every time he left, he would feel that his body was soft, so he could only cover his head with the quilt.

The knocking will stop anyway.

He thought so, and it was true, the brothers and sisters would stop after knocking for a while, and they also had something to do, and they would not always stand outside the door.

But this time it was different, the knocking did not stop, not only did it not stop, but it became louder and louder, as if it was about to remove the door panel.

"Fu Ning, open the door for me!"

Oh, it turned out to be Senior Sister Su.

Fu Ning poked his head out of the bed, and then closed his eyes again.

"Bang!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang at the door, followed by a rush of footsteps.

Fu Ning opened his eyes, the golden sunlight pierced his tears, countless dust flew in the sunlight, and a shadow came over.

Fu Ning only felt a tightness on his neck, and was lifted from the bed.

"Senior Sister ......"

"It stinks!"

Before Fu Ning could say anything in a hurry, he felt that his body was light, and the person was already in the air, and when he fell again, the biting lake water had disappeared from all directions, freezing him to a thrill.

Fu Ning surfaced, it was a fish pond in the yard, just outside his house. He looked up at the shore, and Su Yuezheng was straddling the guardrail with a golden sword.

"Sober?"

Seeing him looking over, Su Yue bared her teeth and smiled, and said to the second senior brother beside her who looked stunned: "Look, you can't get used to it." ”

"Senior sister......" Fu Ning sneezed.

"You kid pretended to be pitiful enough! People in the rivers and lakes, life and death are common things, since the day you left the mountain, you should be ready to lose yourself and your relatives, how can you languish for a parting, you are right to call you Liu Liu!"

"Senior sister, I'm ......" Fu Ning heard the name rubbing out of Su Yue's mouth, and his chest suddenly hurt again.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and wash it up, the master and the lady are waiting in the main hall!" Su Yue waved her hand, and without waiting for Fu Ning to say more, the second senior brother who picked up the side left the courtyard.

Fu Ning soaked in the fish pond in a daze, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. He walked to the shore and climbed up. The pond was not deep, but only to his waist.

After drying his body and changing into a clean dress, Fu Ning walked out of the house and walked towards the main hall at the top of the mountain.

"Master, master. When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, Fu Ning did not go in, but knelt down on the steps.

"The disciple is not filial, which makes the master and the master worried. ”

Fu Ning was about to kowtow after speaking, but at this moment, two white ribbons shot out from the hall, entangled him and prevented him from leaning over.

"Son, come in, don't kneel outside. This is Shi Niang's weapon cold silk, which is 100 feet long, and can take people's lives from afar, and it is also the origin of her name "Thousand Miles Hand".

Fu Ning should get down, get up and walk into the main hall, and see the master sitting on the auxiliary seat with red eyes, and the master Lu Men on the main seat is the master of the master.

The master looked at Fu Ning for a long time, then got down from the seat and hugged Fu Ning in her arms: "Son, I've suffered you, I've lost so much weight." ”

When Fu Ning heard this, tears couldn't stop flowing down again: "Senior sister, senior brother, he ......"

"I know, I know. Shi Niang couldn't help patting Fu Ning's back, and she also shed tears.

"Okay, let's talk about the old things later, your master and I called you here this time to explain something important. Then Lord Lu spoke.

When Shi Niang heard this, she also let go of Fu Ning and returned to the second seat.

"This trip to Jinling, we are too deeply involved with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and now we are based on the territory of the Qing Dynasty after all, and it is inevitable that some people will criticize and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore," Lord Lu said and glanced at everyone: "I have discussed with your master and mother, from tomorrow, Pingdingshan will be closed, and there will be no longer any contact with the outside world." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the hall immediately discussed, but there was no opposition, so Lord Lu mentioned a few points that needed attention, and seeing that everyone had no opinions, he announced the dismissal of the meeting.

At this moment, Zhen Yuqing suddenly stepped forward to find Shi Niang, leaned over and said something in her ear, Fu Ning only saw Shi Niang nodding after listening, and Zhen Yuqing walked towards him with a happy face.

"Little junior brother, let's go, while the mountain gate is not closed, I will accompany you down the mountain for a stroll and relax. ”

"I'll go too, I'll go!" Su Yue heard it on the side and hurriedly interjected.

So the two didn't wait for Fu Ning to agree, pulled up his sleeves and walked towards the mountain gate.

Now it is the depths of winter, and the heavy snow has fallen in Fu Ning's nest in the room, and at this moment Fu Ning looks at it from the top of the mountain, the earth is covered in silver, and there is only a white piece left between the heaven and the earth.

The three of them chatted about trivial matters while walking, and everyone tacitly did not mention everything in Jinling, but in half an hour, they arrived at Ding'an Town at the foot of the mountain.

It will be 30 in more than ten days, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and every house has hung a big red lantern, which looks extremely festive.

"It just so happens that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'll pull a few pieces of cloth and make a new dress for each of you when the time comes. As soon as Fu Ning and the others entered the town, they were pulled into a cloth shop by Zhen Yuqing and compared them with fabrics.

Fu Ning let Senior Sister fiddle with herself, stared at Zhen Yuqing for a long time, and suddenly said, "Senior Sister." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhen Yuqing didn't look up, turned around and measured Su Yue again.

"I want to go to the army. ”

Zhen Yuqing's hand moved, and Su Yue quickly turned around, both of them looked at Fu Ning with shocked expressions.

"Little junior brother, you ......"

"Senior sister, don't worry, I'm not for revenge. Fu Ning shook his head: "In the past few months, although we have been traveling in the south, what we have seen and heard along the way has made me experience. The long-haired army launched a war, displacing the people, and the east was flooded, but no one was governing. We and other people in the rivers and lakes have always taken chivalry and righteousness as their own responsibility, and now that the thieves are in chaos, how can they not do their part. ”

Zhen Yuqing was silent for a long time, but still shook his head: "This matter is very important, it is not for you and me to decide, we need to go back to the mountain for instructions." ”

Fu Ning bowed his head: "So I have to ask my senior sister to confess my sin to my master and mother on my behalf." ”

Zhen Yuqing's face changed: "You don't plan to go back to the mountain?"

Fu Ning was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

Zhen Yuqing wanted to say something more, but Su Yue on the side stopped her.

"Senior sister, let him go, since the little junior brother has already made a decision, we can't change it. ”

Zhen Yuqing's face changed again, and finally stopped talking.

As soon as Fu Ning was overjoyed, he wanted to thank him again, and then Su Yue said again: "You have to think about it, if you really join the army, you will be completely against your senior sister Ping'er." ”

Fu Ning thought about it and nodded resolutely.

The two didn't say anything more, Fu Ning bowed again, glanced at Senior Sister Zhen, and turned to leave the cloth shop.

At this time, the sky was already clear, and Fu Ning was walking on the snow with the sun on his back, and there was a creaking sound under his feet. Su Yue and the others watched him leave, gradually disappearing into the white light in the sky.
