Chapter 61: Plum Blossoms

More than seven years ago, Zhan Duan took some warriors to escort Gu Xiaozhao along the waterway to Dishui Temple. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That year, he was more than nine years old.

That year, the little girl named Zhou Shiyu was only five years old.

On the surface, his father Gu Quan sent Gu Xiaozhao to the Dripping Water Temple for martial arts practice, but in fact, it was to avoid disaster. The dripping water concept that is implicated with the royal family is not a bird to the Yidu Liu family at all, and only in the Hengduan Mountains, which are far away from the red dust, can it be possible to escape the endless pursuit of that hateful old woman.

Of course, as always, the news was exposed.

Subsequently, several Qi Refining Realm martial artists chased after them with a large number of armor warriors, and the two sides clashed in the lower reaches of Lanxi, and for a while, blood flowed like a river.

When he was about to step into the dripping view ground, Gu Xiaozhao and Zhan were separated.

At that time, Zhan Duan alone blocked the siege of the three Qi Refining Realm martial artists, attracting the most powerful force of the other party, and two guards of the Great Perfection of the Body Refining Realm took Gu Xiaozhao and continued to flee towards the Dripping Water Temple.

The whole plan is very simple, Zhan Duan blocked the pursuers, on that side, as long as Gu Xiaozhao could escape into the range of Dishui Guanfang City, Gu Quan's friend would be able to come forward to answer without moving.

However, on the river, which is still a few miles away from Fang City, things have changed.

One of the guards had already been bribed by the Liu family, and it was he who leaked the news that Gu Xiaozhao was preparing to enter the Dripping Water Temple to the Liu family.

This guy originally wanted to stay lurking, so his performance along the way was no different from the past, and he even killed a soldier on his side.

However, seeing that Gu Xiaozhao was about to escape from pursuit, he could not continue to lurk.

He knew very well the energy of that vicious woman, if he allowed Gu Xiaozhao to escape into the Dripping Water Concept, no matter how much credit he had made before, this time, there would be no good end.

He broke out on the boat and stabbed his companion who had no defense against him.

Just as he was about to make a move on Gu Xiaozhao, Gu Xiaozhao, who reacted quickly, jumped out of the boat, even if he knew that the water of the Lanxi River was cold and biting, even if he knew that there were many fish monsters similar to piranhas in the water, at that moment, Gu Xiaozhao still did not hesitate at all.

At that time, as long as he hesitated a little, he was probably more than lucky.

Gu Xiaozhao was lucky that he didn't encounter a fish monster, and was caught by a fisherman with a fishing net when he fell into a coma.

The fisherman was in his early thirties, he was Zhou Shiyu's father, that is, it was in the fisherman's house that Gu Xiaozhao met Zhou Shiyu for the first time.

He still remembers the first time they met.

It was an autumn evening, and the orange-red glow shone through the open windows of the wooden house, followed by a slightly fishy river breeze.

Outside the window, fishing nets are set up on several bamboo poles, swaying gently in the wind.

Gu Xiaozhao opened his eyes from the coma.

The first thing I saw was Zhou Shiyu's face, at that moment, she was sitting at the small wooden table by the window, her hand supporting her chin on the table, her head floating and sinking, dozing.

The glow fell on half of her face, creating an orange-red halo.

At that moment, he was at peace.

He lay quietly on the couch, did not speak, did not ask about his situation, just looked at the dozing little girl in silence, speechless for a long time.

It wasn't until Zhou Shiyu's father entered that the silence was broken.

Zhou Sen is a fisherman, in his early thirties, refining the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Body Realm, and making a living by hunting and killing the whitebait in the Lanxi River, which is also a kind of fish monster, likes to live in groups, and does not have much lethality, because it has the miraculous effect of replenishing blood, it is the medicine of a certain flavor of gold sore medicine, and it has become the object of capture by the warriors.

In the vicinity of Dishui Guanfang City, there are many fishermen like Zhou Sen who make a living from fishing.

Zhou Sen's hometown is thousands of miles away in Jiangzhou County, he was born in a poor family, and his family is a businessman.

However, like most of the disciples of the Han Sect, after reaching the age of twenty, he had never stepped into the Qi Refining Realm, so he could not enter the Upper Courtyard to practice, and had to leave the Dripping Water Concept.

He didn't have the slightest resentment about this.

He got a more satisfying harvest there than becoming a Qi Refining Realm martial artist.

He met a woman, who was a local, and her parents were both handymen in the lower courtyard, and she also worked in the lower courtyard of Dishui Guan, doing some miscellaneous tasks such as sewing and cleaning.

He married the woman.

That woman is Zhou Shiyu's mother.

This incident made him sever relations with the Zhou family.

In the eyes of the aristocratic gatekeepers, the Jiangzhou Zhou family is nothing, and in the eyes of the Jiangzhou Zhou family, the untouchables who are born as servants are also nothing.

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp.

This is the world for what it is.

Since then, Zhou Sen has stayed in the Hengduan Mountains, and his family has lived a cold life, he doesn't want to be rich and rich, he just wants his family to live in peace and happiness.

This wish does not seem to be difficult to achieve.

He also has the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Body Refining Realm, and compared with those medicine pickers and hunters, his cultivation is not bad, not to mention, when he was practicing in the lower courtyard, some of his good brothers stepped into the Qi refining realm and became real martial artists, and some even held some small authority in the upper court.

With those people taking care of him, his life is quite nourishing.

Not long after, Zhou Shiyu was born.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and people have good and bad luck.

When Zhou Shiyu was three years old, the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion in Puyang, the county capital of Banan County, sent a large group of warriors to visit the mountain in Dripping Water.

It is said that it is a mountain worship, but in fact it is similar to a provocation.

At that time, Zhou Sen's wife was still doing chores in the lower courtyard and was involved in a certain conflict.

A certain disciple of the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion and the disciple of the Dripping Water View had a private contest, and there were many bystanders at that time, and they didn't know why they had a real fire, and the heads-up turned into a scuffle.

In the melee, she was accidentally injured to death by a disciple of the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion who did not know martial arts.

It wasn't until the third day that Zhou Sen got this message.

At that time, the group of people who came to the Purple Qi East Pavilion had already left.

Even if he didn't leave, he couldn't do anything, the guy who killed his wife by mistake was a Qi Refining Realm martial artist, if he sought revenge from the other party, it would only be a dead end.

As for Dripping View coming forward to seek justice for his wife, such an idea is just a joke.

Even if the ancestor of the Dripping Water View came from a cold family, even if the Dripping Water View took the sect spirit of having a religion and no class, they would not start a war against the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion for the death of a mere miscellaneous servant.

Accidentally killed a miscellaneous servant, the disciple of the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion not only did not have material compensation, but even owed a word of apology, and in that guy's heart, he may still be a little angry, feeling that his hands were dirty.

From a friend who has a good relationship, Zhou Sen knows the name of the enemy.

Shangguan Wuxiang, a descendant of the Shangguan family in Langzhong County, cultivated at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm......

He didn't go to Puyang City, where the Purple Qi Donglai Pavilion was stationed, to seek revenge, and he still worked as his fisherman on the Lanxi River as if he had given up.

He also had to feed him and her children.

Of course, Gu Xiaozhao didn't know that much at that time.

At that time, Gu Xiaozhao only knew that the other party was his savior, who made a living by fishing, lost his wife in middle age, and had a very beautiful daughter.

About Zhou Sen's stories, he only learned about them from Zhan Duan after a few years of this matter.

At that time, Zhou Sen's family had already left the Hengduan Mountains and was nowhere to be found.

Now, I met my old friend again.

For a while, Gu Xiaozhao had mixed feelings in his heart.
