Chapter 43: Parting Ways
Chen Juan also ignored everyone's nonsense, staring at the stone wall, calculating the number of steps and the place where the pole fell, Li Yihang stood under the wall to prevent her from falling down. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chen Juan counted a few times in her heart, and rushed forward more than ten steps, the other end of the bamboo pole was propped up on the ground in front of the stone wall, and her body jumped up. Everyone saw that the bamboo pole was bent into a bow, Chen Juan's body was as light as a swallow, and she flew up half of the wall with the bounce of the bamboo pole, followed her legs and stepped on it continuously, and then pushed up a few feet with a few feet, followed by both hands let go of the bamboo pole, flew and jumped, and grabbed a protruding stone on the slope of the cave entrance with both hands.
When everyone saw her body in the air, they all shouted in surprise and shouted to be careful. But I saw that Chen Juan was like a light swallow in the air, her delicate body was only swinging in mid-air, and she had turned over on the upper edge of the slope, and a few people below were only dazzled, and they even forgot to cheer.
Li Yihang's heart was suddenly relieved, this girl Chen Juan turned out to be a practitioner, extremely agile, the day before in Yuezhou City, he and her easily fell to the ground after a few pushes and pulls, this day and night has been like a stalk in the throat, and his heart is always thinking that he has practiced martial arts for two years, although he is not as solid as a rock, but he is also quite stable and powerful, how can he be put down by a girl who has lost his normality? I can't figure it out after thinking about it, but now that I see her skills, I know that her martial arts are only stronger than herself, and she is never below herself.
When a few people saw Chen Juan go up, they all high-fived each other, shouting, Peng Wuhui muttered: "It's really a good reward, if you don't take her away at that time, how can you have the situation in front of you?" Chen Juan pulled everyone up to the hole one by one, and several people thanked her without saying anything, Chen Juan said: "You saved me first, and I will thank you first." ”
Everyone came out of the cave, only to see that the sun had just risen, the sun was dazzling and flowers, and it was very comfortable to be warm and warm on the body, and when they came out of the dark and damp cave, it was really like entering another world, and the spirit was refreshing, and the feeling of soreness and tiredness under the feet was also swept away. The six of them found an open and sunny place on the mountain, dug two shallow pits, put the thousand-year-old female corpse and He Lei's ashes into the pits, and buried them.
Li Yihang said to the female corpse grave: "Eldest sister, I don't know who your surname is, what kind of person's name, you use your own body to save our lives, the word benefactor, it is really difficult to express our gratitude in our hearts!" Huang Yingdai said: "Eldest sister, don't worry, we will not forget your thoughts, I hope you will accumulate more yin virtue below and be reincarnated as a man as soon as possible." The people erected a tree tablet for her grave, on which were engraved the words "benefactor's tomb".
He Lei also set up a tree stele in front of the grave, engraved with the words "He Lei's tomb", Li Yihang said: "Brother He, the seven of us went into the cave together, only you didn't come out, the younger brother has asked you to wait for everyone, but you didn't listen, and finally died. Lou Kaitai said: "Brother He, you have to bury a thousand-year-old stunning beauty beside you, with her by your side, you are not a loss, you can also say that you have earned, I hope you will be blind under the nine springs." Mao Zhe said: "Brother He, you should pay attention to moderation below, don't just worry about finding joy and breaking down, reincarnation is important." ”
Peng Wuhui said: "You can't stay in the city anymore, you have to find another place to live, He Lei once said that there is an old lady at home, we exchanged the treasure for money, so we went to inquire about where his house was, took it out, and let a few of us support it." Several agreed.
Li Yihang and the other six people walked in the opposite direction of Yuezhou City, and at noon, they came to a small town, Li Yihang and Mao Zhe had money on them, so they invited everyone to have a full meal, of course, they could only eat noodles. The owner of the shopkeeper kept coming up, looking at the empty bowls on the table getting higher and higher, he was dumbfounded, he had seen something that could be eaten, but he had never seen someone who ate so ruthlessly.
After the meal, everyone went to the inn and opened two rooms, one for Chen Juan and one for the other five, and everyone took a shower and went to the street to buy clothes. When I sat down, it was dinner time. At the dinner table, someone asked about Chen Juan's origins, Chen Juan said that he was a Changde person, and he came to Yuezhou City to visit relatives during the New Year, but his relatives were not found, so he was bitten by a mad dog, and he didn't feel anything at the time.
Li Yihang said: "Sister Juan'er, your skills are so good, if you hadn't flown up the hole, we would probably be hungry now." Chen Juan said: "I have been learning martial arts from my father since I was a child, and my father often said that I am not qualified and not a person who practices martial arts. Everyone looked at them with envy and said, "This is not good, there is no better person in the world." Huang Yingdai said: "Does your father recruit apprentices? I want to learn art from his old man." Chen Juan said: "Don't accept apprentices, my father and I are all joking." ”
Talking about her future plans, Chen Juan said: "Ming'er rushed back to Changde early in the morning, and my father and mother must be worried about death." Yihang, what are your plans, where are you going?" Li Yihang wanted to say: "I have nowhere to go, I want to go to Changde to have fun." But when the words came to his lips, he shrank back and said, "I'm going to Changsha County." Chen Juan said: "It's really unfortunate, Changde to the west, Changsha to the south, not by the way." Mao Zhe said: "Miss Chen, a few of us don't dare to go back to the city, leaving Yuezhou City, we are not familiar with it, it is better to go to Changde with you, settle down there, and then come back to pick up the family." Chen Juan said: "It's very good, the two places are not far apart, and it's convenient to do anything." Li Yihang couldn't help but be gloomy when he saw that he was walking alone. Peng Wuhui said: "Yihang, when you arrive in Changsha, you can go to Changde to play with us after finishing your errands or when you are free." Li Yihang nodded in agreement.
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Yihang said goodbye to everyone and embarked on the road south alone. One day later, when he arrived in Changsha County, the governor of Detan Prefecture, he walked on the street and said in his heart: "Sister Zhifei said that she lives here with her mother and master, but she didn't specifically say where she was, there is a vast sea of people, and if you want to find them, it is not a one-time effort, so it is reliable to find Hong Renhai's father Hong Jiangtao first." He went to a prosperous place, took a small piece of jade pendant to the pawnshop and exchanged it for a dozen taels of silver, the jade pendant is a burial object in the two sarcophagus, Mao Zhe gave it to him when he left, and the pawnshop owner saw that his eyes lit up, saying that he was a valuable thing, how many should be how much.
He stayed in one of the largest inns, inquired about any officials surnamed Hong in Changsha County, and asked a few people before one of them said: "I heard that the county official who has just taken office is surnamed Hong, and I have never heard of his name." Li Yihang was overjoyed, and said in his heart: "Officials who serve in the local area are easy to find, it is best to find an opportunity to sneak into the Hong Mansion, wait for the opportunity to inquire about Hong Renhai's whereabouts, or you can ask his father directly, but I wonder if I can see Lord Hong?"
He lived in the county for several days, inquired about the location of the Hong family, and wandered around the neighborhood every day, but never saw the master in and out. He waited impatiently, and one day after dinner, he repeated the old trick again, and went up directly to knock on the door, and after the family opened the door, Li Yihang said: "I was ordered to come to Lord Hong, please report it." Seeing that he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was still childish, so he said: "Who are you, who are you ordered to do, what is the matter with looking for Lord Hong?" Li Yihang was asked three questions by him, and muttered: "You don't need to know this, just say that it was sent by the head of Nanchang Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall Ma." The family glanced at him and said, "Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion, what is the Zhenwei Martial Arts Pavilion for?" Li Yihang said: "It's about Young Master Hong, where Young Master Hong is practicing martial arts." The man hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You wait here, and I'll go inside and report it." "Cover the door.
After a long time of silence, Li Yihang thought that the family was fooling him, and was about to turn around and leave, but the door opened, and the family said, "Please come in!" Li Yihang stepped inside. Walking through a courtyard, two majestic and burly kapok trees are planted on the left and right, bald branches and cold trees, the branches are like iron, and they are extremely vigorous. When he came to the hall, he saw a graceful and noble woman sitting on the throne, about forty years old.
