Chapter 130: Going with the Current
"What are you kidding! They came all the way to the village to eat the food cooked by your Granny Hu?
Several villagers jumped out of their chairs and pushed the middle-aged woman towards the kitchen in the backyard.
The middle-aged woman said angrily: "Oh! Could it be that you think I cook unpalatable?"
"Hostess, that's not what I mean, the three distinguished guests pass by the village, and it is always impossible to say that they don't taste the big fish and prawns here. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and burn a table, a copper plate will not be missing you!"
They accepted Jiang Chunyu's silver, and wished that Gu Qing and the three of them would eat all the fish and shrimp in their fish baskets, and it would not be in vain that they had been busy for several days.
Gu Qing said with a smile: "Whether the proprietress is good or not, you will know if you try it." ”
The middle-aged woman rolled up her sleeves and grinned: "Does the little guest officer like to eat braised stir-fried shrimp or steamed carp?"
Wei Fengyu rolled his eyes and blurted out, "I wonder if there is any game in this barren mountain and wild mountains?"
The middle-aged woman was stunned, and Ying Ying smiled: "Yanyang Lake is not only beautiful with fish and shrimp, but also has everything from pheasants and hares. ”
"Well, pheasants and hares are really tired of eating...... If you can catch a few mink fox, shoot a nighthawk falcon, and burn a plate of braised carp, well, this table of dishes will be full of color and flavor, and it will make you appetize. ”
The middle-aged woman chuckled, squinted her eyes, and said, "The little brother's mouth is very open, where can we find these scarce game meat in such a remote village?"
"Why did I smell the smell of mink fox meat in the backyard just now?" Wei Fengyu blinked.
Gu Qing snorted, wondering in his heart, why is the little county lord's nose smarter than mine? I can't smell any other smells except for the fishy smell.
The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows, nodded suddenly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go find it for you." ”
The villagers enthusiastically persuaded them to drink, and Gu Qing and Jiang Chunyu made three bowls in a row, and their faces did not change.
The kitchen guy served the cooked fish and shrimp, but the proprietress was gone, Gu Qing pondered, the taste of the little county lord is indeed a bit grade, the proprietress in order to fight for face for the mountain village wine shop, it was not good to go up the mountain to catch it on a whim, hahaha.
After a few bowls of wine, Gu Qing was a little drunk, patted Jiang Chunyu's shoulder and arm, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, there is a question I really want to ask...... I remember you said that you made your debut halfway through Lanxi Academy, and your swordsmanship was passed down by the senior brother himself, but why is it that in just a few years, your sword qi is on par with Xiao Chongzi?"
Jiang Chunyu was stunned, and didn't know why Gu Qing suddenly asked this question, the wine bowl was slowly put down by his mouth, and he frowned: "Could it be that you have fought with Senior Brother Xiao?"
"Well, only one trick. ”
Gu Qing couldn't help but feel palpitations when he remembered that his right arm was injured by Xiao Chongzi's slashing sword qi and almost ended up disabled. Although the Smoke and Rain Wind Slash ranked third among the Sword Sect, and at that time in the Seven Star Pavilion, he had not learned the Infinite Finger Force, if he really came to a hard fight, the iron fist of the sword qi competition, I was afraid that Shao Yuanxiu's immortal sword true qi could not compare to Xiao Chongzi.
In other words, maybe Jiang Chunyu can have a draw with Shao Yuanxiu.
Gu Qing had a question in his heart, how did Jiang Chunyu learn the Immortal Sword Technique?
Could it be that he has a very high level of comprehension, and in a few years, he has mastered the Immortal Sword Mystery of Smoke and Rain and Wind Slashing? This seems unlikely, Song Yuanqing has practiced hard for more than thirty years, and in the Emerald Pupil Sword Pavilion, the Immortal Sword cultivation is far inferior to the fifth junior disciple.
Jiang Chunyu laughed and said, "I hope I can have a chance to have a move with you, how is my sword qi, you are naturally clear." ”
Gu Qing was dumbfounded, what Xiao Jiang said was not unreasonable, a master like Yin Wuwu, maybe Xiao Chongzi could tell the winner with a sword, but Xiao Jiang was obviously very difficult to fight.
"There aren't many opportunities like this, but it's better not to touch them. When Wei Fengyu heard Jiang Chunyu's words, his face changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little displeased.
Some jokes can't be made indiscriminately, and no one can predict the result with an iron fist against sword qi.
"Haha, let's compare the amount of wine first, you drink first and I'll talk about it!"
Gu Qing laughed, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
A table of people drank for two or three hours, and the villagers had already drunk all over the place, eating and drinking for nothing, they just wanted to hurry away, and thanked Gu Qing for his hospitality, humming a little song with a fish basket on their backs, and said goodbye and left.
When the guys in the store came out to collect the money, Gu Qing was a little strange, and frowned: "Where did your boss lady go? Why can't you see the figure?"
The guy smiled: "I see that she went out in a hurry, saying that a few guest officers were going to Yanyang Lake, and she went to find a boat first." ”
"Who said we were going to Yanyang Lake?" Gu Qing's eyes suddenly glared at the guy, revealing a fierce face.
"Of course this little girl said it!"
The guy pointed at Wei Fengyu and came over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks with a smile.
How did he know that the little princess was dressed as a woman?
Gu Qing was confused, he only remembered that Wei Fengyu asked if there was any game in the barren mountains and mountains, and the proprietress only said that she went to look for it, and then left. The little county lord actually asked the proprietress to borrow a boat, when did she say that?
"Well, what else did Granny Fox say?"
Wei Fengyu nodded, felt the broken silver in his sleeve, and smiled at the guy. The proprietress saw at a glance that she was a woman, and she was not surprised at all, such a young man with fine skin and tender flesh was rare, and the fox mother-in-law's eyesight was naturally different from ordinary people.
"Mother-in-law said that the water of Yanyang Lake is very deep, and she doesn't dare to mess around, there is a saying that the mud bodhisattva crosses the river and it is difficult to protect itself. The man stuffed the broken silver into his pocket, took out a small and delicate wine gourd from his arms and handed it to Gu Qing, smiled, and went into the backyard kitchen.
Fox mother-in-law?
Gu Qing tapped the wine gourd with his fingers and looked at Wei Fengyu with a puzzled face.
Wei Fengyu sighed slowly, and Li Vortex smiled lightly: "The proprietress just now is the famous fox mother-in-law, don't look at her demeanor, she is already hundreds of years old!"
Gu Qing and Jiang Chunyu were both taken aback, and cold sweat broke out all over their bodies.
No wonder the little county lord said that there was the smell of mink fox meat in the backyard, but the two of them couldn't smell it, it turned out that she alluded to the proprietress being the fox's mother-in-law!
I'm going to go! Hundreds of years old Fox Mother-in-law, is she the goblin of Wufu City?
"There are seven old demons in Wufu City, and there are also four ghost-headed spiritual immortals, and Granny Fox is just one of them, she is from the same sect as Peng Sanniang, and they are both extremely powerful characters in the Yuan Ming Sect. She suddenly appeared here and opened a liquor store at the entrance of the village...... I don't know why. ”
Gu Qing was surprised and surprised, and blurted out: "In this way, isn't Peng Jiaojiao also hundreds of years old?"
Wei Fengyu snorted and said with a smile: "Could it be that you have a crush on Sanniang?"
"Nonsense! She's a good friend of my uncle. ”
Gu Qing remembered Peng Jiaojiao's coquettish "Xiao Chengcheng", her charming eyes were like silk, and she couldn't help but shake her legs and feet, and felt a chill.
He's the hell, Uncle Du Yu would actually take a fancy to a goblin who is hundreds of years old, are all the women in the Five Elements Sect dead?
Gu Qing blinked, and wanted to ask Wei Fengyu, "How old are you this year?" The little county lord had already told him that he was not a goblin, and if he dared to ask such a thing again, he would be asking for his own hardship.
Wei Fengyu glanced at Gu Qing's neck, came over and carefully tied his cloth scarf, took out a gauze scarf from his waist and wrapped it around it tightly, and said solemnly: "I don't know who you will meet along the way, your Qiankun lock must not be exposed." ”
Gu Qing closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of the girl, his heart fluttered, and in an instant, he only felt that the scarf around his neck was extremely warm, which made him fascinated, well, he would have to hold it when he slept in the future.
The three of them left the winery, crossed the village on horseback, and after about a dozen miles, a river several feet wide appeared at the end of the dry forest.
Surrounded by rolling mountains, the water is fast-flowing.
Sure enough, there was a bamboo hut wooden boat parked on the side of the rocky beach, and a woman in white clothes sat on the side of the boat, waving to the three of them with a smile on her face.
Granny Fox was very patient, and she actually waited by the river for several hours.
Wei Fengyu walked over with a smile and said coquettishly: "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”
"Hey, I said little ancestor, you are a girl who goes all the way to Yanyang Lake, aren't you afraid that the people of Wufu City will eat you?"
"They can go, why can't I?"
"Does your father know that you ran out of the Optimus Sect to play?" Granny Fox's face sank.
"Well, he asked Second Uncle Xiao to look for me everywhere, you are not allowed to talk nonsense. ”
"It's over! If you ask the silkworm to come to you, it will be so-so, he actually sent Xiao Maniac out, wouldn't it be a big mess in the world?"
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, Second Uncle Xiao listens to me the most. ”
Granny Fox rolled her eyes, pointed to the two "bodyguards" behind Wei Fengyu, and said angrily: "I haven't said anything bad about him, can these two young men be trusted? Now that my old life is in your hands, you, don't make fun of me." ”
Wei Fengyu said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is so good to me, Second Uncle Xiao doesn't dare to touch you." ”
Granny Fox seemed to be terribly afraid of "Crazy Xiao", and her voice was obviously trembling.
Gu Qing remembered that when she was in Bai Zeya, Peng Jiaojiao also talked about this "Xiao madman", and if she had the opportunity, she wanted to see her, who was the sacredness of this surnamed Xiao, which made Gu Qing's interest greatly.
He didn't know any of the people in the Yuan Immortal Sect, and he thought that he would soon be able to meet the goblins of Wufu City, and his heart was nervous and excited.
The three of them got into the boat, asked the fox mother to take the horse back to the wine shop, waved goodbye, untied the rope and went down the river.
A few goshawks flew over the gray sky, the shore was full of barren hills and swamps, and the lake and sea in the distance could not be seen at a glance, and there were no traces of people. The former boundary of Yanyang Village had become so desolate, and Gu Qing couldn't help but feel sad.
The boat glides in the turquoise current, light as a drifting leaf.
The water of the lake is not deep, and there are jumping fish near the shoals from time to time, and the silver light reflects the ripples and splashes of the water.
Jiang Chunyu stood on the side of the boat, holding his breath and staring at the direction of the fish's jump, his wrist trembled slightly, and the black silk long sword seemed to want to come out of its sheath and use the sword qi to cut off a lake fish.
Gu Qing shook his left palm, his face was helpless, Wuji Mochiyue's finger power had been destroyed by his own hands, and it was a bit wronged to think about it.
In the future, I don't know if I can learn to break the clouds, shoot the sun, meteors and flying flowers, it seems that the infinite finger power of the Emerald Pupil Sword Pavilion has nothing to do with him, and the will of heaven is like this, so there is no need to force it.
The water was flowing endlessly, and the sound of gurgling water was getting louder and louder.
The surrounding beaches are rocky and reef-bound, and carefully paddled to avoid them, the boats leisurely turn into the weed-filled waters, dark green and bottomless.
The lake is unusually narrow, and the swamp on the shore is bubbling with swampy gas.
Turning along the river and turning the cliff bend, I saw a row of cyan bamboo rafts appear on the surface of the lake a few zhang away, on which sat a middle-aged scribe in a brocade robe, with a purple square scarf tied in his hair bun, and a fish basket beside him, was leisurely and silently fishing.
