Chapter Twenty-Eight, Cloud Moon Club Green Eagle (5)
Duan Xiyun and Guan Yueyao monitored the four Xue Qingdiao escorting the convoy back to the town, and the road was calm, but everyone still maintained great vigilance.
On the way, Li Yulong was thirsty and wanted to drink water, and when he saw the snow-white and spotless graceful figure of Guan Yueyao in front of him, he hurriedly drove forward and said earnestly: "The girl in the scorching sun must also be thirsty, I just have water here." ”
"I also bring my own water bag, and I appreciate your kindness. Although Guan Yueyao didn't know Li Yulong's intentions, she didn't like the other party's courteous attitude, so she had to urge Ma Qian to walk side by side with Duan Xiyun.
Li Yulong was bored, and he couldn't find a reason to continue talking, so he had no choice but to return to his original post.
"There is a way, people are precious and self-aware. At this time, Sun Siniang came to Li Yulong's side and ridiculed: "When I saw this young man and young lady, I deeply realized the true meaning of this old saying, people are a pair of beautiful people made in heaven." ”
"I just saw that the weather was hot and gave everyone a sip of water to drink, but in fact, there was nothing else, it was you who was self-inflicted and cranky. Li Yulong was said to be thoughtful, and indiscriminately stuffed the water bag into Sun Siniang's hand. He looked at Guan Yueyao and then at Duan Xiyun, the two didn't have too much intimate contact, they just walked side by side casually, they were so compatible, they were undoubtedly a natural pair. Facing the two of them is like seeing the sun with a candle, and seeing each other is clumsy.
Yu Wenshang walked at the forefront, saw Duan and Guan dressed in travel attire, and asked: "The two of you don't seem to have local accents, please forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, I don't know where the two of you are going on this trip?"
"We were instructed by Mr. Du Xuantong of Danfeng Lou to keep walking in the direction of Chang'an, hoping to find my long-lost father. Guan Yueyao saw that Duan Xiyun was slightly hesitant, knowing that it was inconvenient for him to reveal the matter of finding the purple cloud stone, so she preemptively explained the reason.
It turned out that the two of them went to find the girl's father. I also know some friends in the Qinchuan area, and I don't know if I can help. Yu Wenshang has a bold temperament and is willing to help, and takes the initiative to ask.
"I went out secretly to look for my father, and I asked my mother about his name before, but she never said it, but I have seen my father's portrait, and I will surely recognize him if I see him. Guan Yueyao said frankly.
"It's not easy. Yu Wenshang felt that Guan Yueyao seemed to be hiding something, but seeing that her words were frank and didn't look like she was lying, he couldn't guess the other party's thoughts for a while.
"Thank you for your kindness, the so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky, I just do my best, as for whether I can find my father, it depends on the number of days. In fact, Guan Yueyao knows very little about her father, but she accidentally saw the hidden portrait of her mother to know that the person in the painting is her biological father, she has asked her mother many times about her father, but her mother does not mention a word, I don't know what happened between the two of them, the only thing she knows is that the loving father in the painting is a handsome and chic, charming and wonderful man.
Duan Xiyun remembered what happened just now and was curious, so he asked, "Dare to ask the hero, why did the thief call you a 'blood green eagle' just now?"
Ha...... Yu Wenshang smiled again, "It's a shame to say that a few of us have no long things and can only earn some hard money by taking on some tiring work for people, 'Blood Green Eagle' is just a nickname made up to us by people in the rivers and lakes, we are actually a mercenary group, and the name is Xue Qing Eagle." ”
"It turns out that you are a mercenary group, no wonder you are so skilled. Duan Xiyun changed his mind and said: "Fang just said that it is high-sounding, what is saving the children out of the water, it turns out that it is just a matter of being entrusted by others to end up, and it is difficult to guarantee that the employer will not have other plans after getting these children, it seems that it is right to follow them." ”
"I don't dare to take it seriously, in this vast Baili Qinchuan, there are so many mercenary groups with extraordinary strength, and we Xue Qingdiao may not even be able to rank the number of fingers. Yu Wenshang pushed his palms away and said casually: "We're just eating together." ”
The northern powers are dominant, wars and vendettas continue, thus flourishing the special profession of mercenaries, the so-called mercenaries are mainly for the money for the employer of the people, although they are not many but most of them have special skills, fast and stealthy, good at assisting the army in combat, stealing enemy intelligence and target assassination......
The journey was finally peaceful, and several people returned to the town smoothly. The four Xue Qingdiao rode a tall horse and escorted five trucks into the city, attracting the attention of many pedestrians, and even followed behind to see the excitement.
Xue Qingdiao didn't care about these people's eyes, and the group walked to the city, stopping in front of a simple house with a tiled roof covered with moss.
The people in the house seemed to be paying attention to the situation outside, and when they heard the movement outside, a woman who was nearly forty years old rushed out of the house, and she saw the four snow green eagles, as if she was crazy, and the eyes that were already red and swollen aroused tears again, "Child, has the child been found?"
"I wonder if any of these children are your children?" Yu Wenshang said, jumping off the horse and opening all five cargo boxes with everyone.
The woman excitedly continued to check, and found the little girl curled up in a corner in the third wooden box, who had been taken hostage by the thieves, held the bear in her arms, and then carefully looked at the girl's face, and after making sure that she was not dreaming, she kissed and kissed her daughter's little face, "Mother's little baby, I thought I would never see you again, God bless you and finally sent you back to your mother." ”
"Mom. The little girl was awakened by her mother's rough and loving movements, and her eyes were met by her rough and doting face, which she happily wrapped around her mother's neck, and it seemed that she had indeed suffered a great deal of fright on this day.
This scene of licking the calf deeply moved everyone.
"Sister-in-law, we negotiated the reward, I don't know ......" Yu Wenshang's voice broke the warmth of the mother-daughter reunion, and he swallowed greedily.
["Profiteering, this is the ugly nature of mercenaries, and I am afraid that this family will not have a full meal in the next few years. Ziyang said disdainfully. ]
"Good, good, no problem. ”
The woman was reluctant to let go of her daughter, so she simply carried her into the house with her. After a while, he came out with his daughter in one hand and a heavy wine jar in the other, knelt on the ground with a porphyry, kowtowed, and said: "The good man is benevolent and righteous, and the slave family has nothing to repay, please accept my worship." ”
Yu Wenshang hurriedly came to help, "Your home-brewed rice wine is pure, it is a rare wine, it is what I like, we are just receiving people and money to eliminate disasters, why should my sister-in-law be polite." ”
"Home-brewed rice wine is as plain as water, and it is worthless everywhere, how can a little water wine be worth your great grace. The woman was so grateful that she stubbornly kowtowed, and every time she made a bang.
Seeing this, Duan Xiyun knew that he had just spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, stepped forward and lowered his head and hugged his fists and said: "I have always misunderstood that Brother Yuwen is a mercenary snobbish, but I didn't expect you to be proud and chivalrous, moisturizing things silently, and the little brother is really ashamed of himself." ”
"Hah...... Brother is serious, you are just thinking about the child, how can I not know, besides, you have never known all your life, in fact, you don't have to give up all your suspicions about me. Brother's move shows that you are sincere and frank, this kind of sincere and sincere gentleman, Yuwen Shang is indeed rare in his life, I have made up your friend. "Yuwen is still good at making friends, but he is not a refusal to come, he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time to see the cold and warm of the world, and his heart and eyes can distinguish between good and evil, it is rare to see a person as righteous and straightforward as Duan Xiyun, so he naturally wants to get acquainted.
"Being able to make friends with heroes like Brother Yuwen is exactly what I can't ask for. Duan Xiyun said happily.
[Ziyang also thought that he was overly cautious, and looked away, "Like the snow green eagle in the northeast, brave, arrogant, and free, this little mercenary group is indeed a little interesting.] ”]
The big move here attracted a lot of attention, and soon the mayor organized a team to look for the child, and surrounded him with sticks and swords. The mayor of the town, who looked upright in his sixtieth year, walked in the front, his eyes were sophisticated, and he saw that Yu Wenshang and the others were mercenary groups, and he didn't speak angrily, "How can you have so many children in your hands?"
"It was taken from the hands of the Seven Wolf Village, if it were up to you, I might not be able to find these children for the rest of my life. Sun Siniang saw that the other party was rude, and her attitude was also very arrogant.
"Seven Wolf Village!" A big man who came with the mayor of the town was shocked when he heard the name of Seven Wolf Village, and his trembling hand couldn't even hold the wooden stick and fell to the ground.
"Don't get me wrong, mayor, they are not bad people, these are all heroes with a bright temperament, and my daughter can only be found safely thanks to their help. The woman knew what was going on, and rushed forward to explain the situation, and raised her thumbs up in praise as she spoke.
"Help, I don't think so. The mayor's face was full of disdain, and he didn't feel a trace of gratitude because of the woman's words, "The mercenary old man has seen it too much. ”
"This is the mayor of the town, right, everything can't be generalized, this matter is what I have seen with my own eyes, these children are indeed taken back by these heroes of the snow green carving with their lives, and they have not thought of asking for any reward. Duan Xiyun admired the chivalrous feelings of Yu Wenshang and others, and when he saw the town mayor can't help but slander Xue Qingdiao, he naturally wanted to stand up and testify.
Yu Wenshang disdained the gazes of others, and kindly put his arm on Duan Xiyun's shoulder, "Brother, why bother here, now that the wine is in hand, let's quickly find a good place to fry a few Japanese side dishes, and then have a long talk?"
"Everything is arranged by the eldest brother. Duan Xiyun knew that Yuwen Shang was frank and didn't care about such a trivial matter, and at the same time, he was infected by the other party's pride, so he didn't bother to explain, so he and Yuwen Shang strode away side by side.
"The kids are here, you're the mayor and you should know what to do. Sun Siniang was also not angry, turned around and took Guan Yueyao's hand, "Sister, let's go too." ”
"Phew! I don't know what to do. Li Yulong snorted coldly and followed behind everyone with Gu Chengfeng.
Duan and Guan sat down with Xue Qingdiao and his gang at a brisk tavern in the town. Yu Wenshang ordered a few side dishes that were good in the store, and then asked the shopkeeper to take a large bowl with a number of heads first.
After a short time, the shopkeeper brought six large bowls with bright shine. Yu Wenshang lined up the bowls, lifted the wine jar and poured six large bowls full, and the audience was immediately fragrant with wine.
Duan Xiyun was young and worshiped the Siyun Temple since he was a child, and then transferred to the Yang Palace, because the door rules were strict, so he had never touched the wine, and at first glance he became a little overwhelmed when he saw the table full of pouring spirits.
Yuwen still didn't know how much Duan Xiyun had drunk, and he was not polite when he looked at the wine in front of him, "To celebrate the two new friends, let's have a toast first." As he spoke, he tilted his neck and drank a large bowl full of wine, and wiped the wine from the corners of his mouth with his thumb, obviously unfinished.
Gu Chengfeng and Li Yulong did not give in to each other, and followed suit. But Sun Siniang just took a sip and said to Guan Yueyao thoughtfully: "Sister can do whatever she wants, don't care about these naan people." ”
"Thank you sister for your concern. Guan Yueyao has never drunk alcohol, and she is relieved to have Sun Siniang's care, so she still means a little sip.
Duan Xiyun knew how much he was drinking, and when he saw that there was a precedent, he casually took a sip. Unexpectedly, Li Yulong on the other side laughed dryly, his face full of ridicule and contempt. Duan Xiyun was so young and vigorous how could he stand such contempt from others, thinking that the big deal was that he couldn't die if he was drunk, so he raised his heart horizontally and drank a big bowl of wine to the point that there was nothing left.
