Chapter 43: Trouble
Two days later, the martial arts rookie meeting finally came to a successful conclusion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Ethereal Fairy Murong Yan finally won the first prize, it stands to reason that there was still a Luo Qingxue who was tied with her, but for some reason, the day after the duel with Li Feng, Luo Qingxue withdrew, not only withdrew, but also left the Ethereal Peak directly.
At that time, Duanmu Xuan had left Luo Qingyu and told him to wait until the end of the martial arts rookie meeting before leaving, but because Luo Qingxue was determined to leave, Luo Qingyu was not at ease to let his sister go first, so he had to leave the Ethereal Peak and go back to the valley together.
Afterwards, Duanmu Xuan also went to find that Li Feng, but unfortunately, that person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. I heard from the people in the same room that he said that since the duel with Luo Qingxue that day, he has never returned, and since then, no one has known his whereabouts.
Li Feng, where does this person come from?
No one knew where he came from, and no one knew where he went since, and the origin of his origin was a complete mystery.
No one knows who he really is, and no one knows what he came to Ethereal Peak for, in short, he appeared out of thin air, and finally disappeared out of thin air.
He came without warning, and when he left, he left no trace.
However, although Duanmu Xuan had many questions, with the disappearance of Li Feng himself, all these doubts have become an eternal mystery.
From then on, no one will remember him, let alone think of him.
In other words, who would pay attention to him if he was an inconsequential person. The reason why Duanmu Xuan noticed him was just because of his amazing martial arts, so he wanted to use it.
Soon, another half a month passed.
On the wide official road, pedestrians rush by from time to time. I don't know where you came from, or where he's going. People seem to have long been accustomed to this busy rhythm, only knowing the blind pursuit of results, and ignoring that life is a process.
Unlike other groups of pedestrians, he is the only one who walks his own way.
It seems that he will always be just one person, and he is the only one who walks alone. There was no one to accompany him, or he no longer needed to be accompanied.
This is already the official road thousands of miles north of the Ethereal Peak, and Yang Xiaofeng is walking slowly alone. It has been more than ten days since he came down from the Ethereal Peak, and more than ten days away is where he is going. That was also his final destination, where the number one family in today's martial arts was located, Luoxue Valley.
In fact, he could have walked faster, or by horse, and he would have been able to reach the Falling Snow Valley in six or seven days at most. However, he likes to walk slowly, and the feeling of his feet on the ground makes him feel very fulfilled.
An ox cart coming from behind slowly stopped next to him, driven by a burly and strong middle-aged man. Seeing that Yang Xiaofeng was only one person, the middle-aged man smiled kindly and asked, "Little brother, do you want to take a ride?"
Yang Xiaofeng glanced sideways at the middle-aged man and asked lightly, "How much silver does it cost to take a ride?"
The middle-aged man smiled innocently and said, "Look at what you said, isn't it just a ride, and what more money do you want?" But if you really have to pay the money, I know that there is a restaurant not far from here, so how about you treat me to a bowl of wine when you get there?"
"Good ......", Yang Xiaofeng didn't hesitate, immediately jumped into the car, sat with the middle-aged man, and said with a light smile: "So, thank you, then let's go."
"Sit tight," the man admonished, and then raised the whip in his hand, and the ox cart immediately jolted and slowly moved forward, although not very fast, nor very steady, but at least it was much more comfortable than walking.
The man driving seemed to talk a lot, and asked Yang Xiaofeng tentatively intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "Look at your outfit, little brother, you should be a scholar." Why do you go out alone, and you don't have a companion or anything, this is not good, although this is an official road, but there is no guarantee that there will be any strongmen who block the road and rob the robbers, I think you still have to be more careful."
Yang Xiaofeng smiled indifferently and said, "Don't be afraid, didn't you say it, big brother, at first glance, I am a poor scholar, and I look like I will have half a penny on my body." Even if there are really strong people, they won't open their eyes to rob people like me."
The man in charge nodded and said, "That's true, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that you were a scholar, I wouldn't have dared to take you on this journey." I'm a big man myself, but I have a lot of respect for you scholars in my heart. Intellectuals like you, not only are you knowledgeable, but also have high moral character, which really makes me envious."
"Thank you for the compliment", Yang Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and then didn't speak again, obviously he didn't want to say more.
The man driving said: "This road has been moving forward, it is the first family of martial arts in Luoxue Valley today, I wonder if the little brother is going there?"
Yang Xiaofeng was slightly shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the man next to him in a little surprise, but then he immediately returned to normal, and there was no trace of a smile on his face, and he said expressionlessly: "Is this Falling Snow Valley so famous, look at the eldest brother, you don't seem to be a person in the rivers and lakes, but you even know the name of this Falling Snow Valley"?
The middle-aged man's smile suddenly froze, and he said, "I've been driving here for many years, and most of the people who go north from here go to Luoxue Valley, so I have this question." Especially young people of your age, most of them go to Luoxue Valley to propose, that ...... Shouldn't you also go to the Falling Snow Valley to propose?"
Listening to his question, I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional.
Yang Xiaofeng became more and more surprised in his heart, and the corner of his eye glanced at the middle-aged man again, and said lightly: "I am indeed going to Luoxue Valley, but I am not going to propose."
That's right, he really didn't go to Luoxue Valley to propose, he and Luo Qingxue had already made a marriage contract ten years ago, so why did he need to propose to her again.
Speaking of this, Yang Xiaofeng stopped again, and the middle-aged man driving also stopped talking and didn't ask any more questions. For a while, the two of them walked forward quietly, and since then they have been silent all the way.
There is indeed a restaurant in front, but although it is a restaurant, it does not even have a formal hall. However, a large open space surrounded by a wooden fence with a thatched roof and a few large wooden tables was placed in it, which was considered a place to receive guests, and behind the fence there were two wooden huts, which were supposed to be places for cooking and storing wine.
Although it is very simple, to have such a restaurant to stop is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow to the hungry pedestrians who are in a hurry there. Therefore, the business in the store is naturally not bad.
When Yang Xiaofeng entered the store, there were four or five customers eating noodles around the table, and there was also a slightly chubby middle-aged man sitting on a rattan chair next to him napping, thinking that he was the shopkeeper here.
Everything seemed to be calm and normal, and after a casual glance, he found a clean and empty seat and sat down.
The middle-aged man who was driving the car tied up the ox and also entered the store together, and shouted at the shopkeeper from afar: "Shopkeeper Wei, don't you see the guests, hurry up and say hello."
The shopkeeper Wei, who was napping, was startled, jumped up from the chair and looked at it, his eyes grunted, and with the standard smile of a market businessman, he said to the middle-aged man who was driving: "Isn't this the old Jin brother in the former village, what, are you here to pull people or deliver goods today, I don't know how many times you have run?"
"I went to Zhouzhuang in the back and sent some ......", Lao Jin nodded casually, and then waved his hand and said: "Hurry up and have a jar of your yellow rice wine, and then two large bowls of noodles."
"Okay......", Shopkeeper Wei stretched his neck and shouted back: "One jar of wine, two large bowls of noodles."
After a while, a thin and tall young man came out of the back room, holding a large jar of wine and putting it on the table where Yang Xiaofeng and the others were sitting, and said with a light smile: "Please wait, the noodles will be fine immediately."
"Thank you", Yang Xiaofeng smiled faintly at the guy, and at the same time, a few faint discolorations flashed in his eyes, and he immediately took the bowl on the table and poured a bowl of wine for himself and Lao Jin.
The wine is sweet and soft. It is not easy to drink such good wine in this wilderness.
After a few more moments, the noodles were served. Compared with the wine, the noodles are much worse, the tendons are not enough, and the heat is not in place, just gently stir with chopsticks, and they are all broken into broken knots.
With such good sake but no bowl of good noodles, this restaurant seems a little abnormal.
It may be that the noodles are not very tasty, Lao Jin eats very slowly, and he doesn't move the chopsticks after two bites at will. Yang Xiaofeng is not like Lao Jin, and soon his bowl of noodles is finished, and looking at the way he eats noodles, it seems to have a lot of taste.
After eating noodles and drinking another bowl of wine, Yang Xiaofeng got up to pay the bill, and then slowly walked out.
He obviously didn't want to stay any longer, but he heard Lao Jin behind him shout again: "Little brother, you wait for a while." You see that you have invited me to eat and drink, anyway, my family lives in the former village, so I will simply give you a ride along the way."
As he spoke, he wanted to get up and go to untie the ox cart.
Yang Xiaofeng didn't look at him, and said lightly: "No need, I still like to walk by myself."
When he finished speaking, he was already outside the store, and after a while, under the gaze of everyone in the store, his figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing that Yang Xiaofeng had walked away, Lao Jin, the shopkeeper Wei, and the guests who had just been eating and drinking all changed all of a sudden, and immediately got up and looked at the wooden house behind him respectfully, looking like they were waiting for something important. Obviously, the identity of these people is not a handlebar, nor is it a shopkeeper.
It seems that this shop is really not simple.
The first person to come out of the back room was the thin young man who brought wine to Yang Xiaofeng and them just now, but he also walked to the place where several other people were standing, and waited respectfully for a while.
After a while, a woman slowly walked out of the wooden house behind her, under the respectful gaze of everyone.
Dressed in a purple robe, with an almost bewitching aura on his stunning face, who is not Lin Yuhan.
Seeing her come out, everyone immediately saluted and said, "Subordinates and others see the saint."
Lin Yuhan waved his hand, signaling everyone to be casual, and then looked at the thin young man, and after a closer look, it was the man she asked to investigate Yang Xiaofeng's origin in Qingshan Town that day, and asked lightly: "Tell me in detail about what you saw on the Ethereal Peak."
The young man bowed and replied, "Holy Maiden, that person just now defeated the enemy all the way in the martial arts rookie meeting, winning five games in a row, and the opponent has never made a single move under his hands. However, later in the match with Luo Qingxue in Luoxue Valley, he took the initiative to admit defeat and did not make a move at all."
"That's ......", Lin Yuhan muttered, and asked Lao Jindao, who had just been driving, "Have you ever asked where he is going along the way?"
Lao Jin also bowed down and said, "Holy Maiden, that man said he was going to Falling Snow Valley."
"Is it the Falling Snow Valley again......", Lin Yuhan continued to ask: "Then what did he do when he went to the Falling Snow Valley, did he go to Luo Qingxue to propose marriage?"
Lao Jin shook his head and said, "This subordinate is not clear. I also asked tentatively, but the man didn't say it explicitly."
Lin Yuhan nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, you guys go down." Remember, make sure you tell me everything about that person."
"Yes", everyone responded in unison, and then they all went out of the store.
For a while, Lin Yuhan was the only one left in this so-called restaurant.
"Falling Snow Valley, Luo Qingxue ......", Lin Yuhan muttered to himself: "I don't know what you are going to do in Falling Snow Valley, what is the relationship between you and Luo Qingxue"?
Suddenly, she suddenly turned her head with a feeling, and just saw Yang Xiaofeng standing quietly behind her and looking at her coldly.
Lin Yuhan was slightly startled, and then a sweet smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Brother Yang, it turns out that you haven't left yet?"
Yang Xiaofeng's face was expressionless, and he asked coldly: "When did the famous Fengyue Sect Twelve Demon Xiao Protectors on the rivers and lakes change their careers to drive and buy wine?"
Lin Yuhan looked at Yang Xiaofeng with resentment and said, "It's not all your fault, if you can tell me all about your identity and origin, I won't ask them to go to great lengths to inquire."
"Oh......", Yang Xiaofeng smiled faintly and said, "You and I met in Pingshui, why do you want to inquire about my identity and origin"?
Lin Yuhan glanced at him with disgust, but couldn't help but laugh and said: "You saved me under the Ethereal Peak, how can such a great kindness be said to be a meeting in Pingshui, no matter how I say it, I have to thank you well."
Yang Xiaofeng shook his head slightly and said: "I have already said that I am willing to relieve you from the siege, you don't owe me anything, and naturally you don't need to thank you."
Lin Yuhan rolled his eyes, and quibbled: "If you say you don't thank you, you won't thank you, you see that I am also one of the three beauties in the rivers and lakes today, and your appearance is barely handsome and chic, and your martial arts are so good, you can be regarded as a hero." What are the two of us called, is it good for heroes to save beauty. You also know that since ancient times, the ending of heroes saving beauty has been mostly the same. So, I'm asking you about your identity not only to thank you, but also to know something about the man I'm going to fall in love with in the future."
Yang Xiaofeng suddenly smiled coldly, then slowly walked past Lin Yuhan, and said lightly: "You and I have never met each other, we have not had any entanglements before, and we will not meet again in the future, so naturally nothing will happen." So, I don't care what you're following me for, but it's best not to disturb my life."
After he finished speaking, he slowly walked out of the store, and never looked back, nor did he look at Lin Yuhan more, thinking that this time he was really leaving.
"Brother Yang, you said we wouldn't meet again in the future, let alone anything else, right?"
Lin Yuhan looked at the back of Yang Xiaofeng leaving, and said firmly and very seriously: "Then I can tell you now, from childhood to adulthood, as long as it is what I Lin Yuhan wants, whether it is something or someone, I will definitely get it, even if I pay more price, I will not give up, let alone change." So, the two of us will definitely meet again."
Since there are two people who are destined to have no intersection, why do they have to meet again, it is not that they have already fallen in love with him in their hearts.
"Maybe it's ......", Yang Xiaofeng paused slightly, but after all, he didn't stay anymore, and slowly disappeared out of Lin Yuhan's sight, and said from afar: "But I think this probability is not too great."
He suddenly sighed a little, and now it seems that he is afraid that he is really in trouble. Or, he also wants to ask, why are the women in this world always so easy to get emotional?
