Chapter 22: Straggy hair

The April day in the world is the time when the grass grows and the warbler flies.

Yun and Cheng have been heading east since they left Gaoling City yesterday. Although there were horses to walk, it took the two to walk more than 300 miles in one day.

The reason is that Cheng Linyuan doesn't know how to ride a horse, so it's not surprising to think about it. He has been living in the Grove Village for more than ten years, and the only thing that allows him to communicate with the outside world is the merchant who comes to the village every four days to collect herbs. As for the horse, I have never seen it.

And along the way, Cheng Linyuan fell from the horse dozens of times, although there was nothing to hurt his muscles and bones, but his face was indispensable. This time, even Yun Wanzhou, who has always been indifferent, was depressed. In desperation, he had to slow down his travel. As for why he didn't directly take Cheng Linyuan Imperial Sword back to the mountain and chose to ride a horse instead, I don't know what the reason was.

On the long road, only two people and two horses walked slowly, and there were no people in sight.

In the distant sky, several birds flew up and down, entangled with each other. The faint cry that comes out from time to time is even more refreshing.

Yun Wanzhou retracted his gaze and said, "The front should be almost at the junction of Yunzhou and Qingzhou, there should be a place to rest, you can hold on for a while." ”

Cheng Linyuan's face was full of embarrassment when he heard this, and he saw that the new clothes he had changed on the day before yesterday were covered with dust, and there were obvious traces of rubbing with his hands. He smiled bitterly and didn't dare to answer, but only held the reins tightly and refused to let go. Because when he was distracted by talking to Yun Wanzhou before, he fell no less than five or six times. He glared fiercely at the horse and steered it carefully.

Yun Wanzhou saw it in his eyes, and his heart was slightly helpless, so he had to slow down his horse, parallel to Cheng Linyuan, and at least help if necessary.

After a dozen miles, I passed through a forest. The two of them suddenly lit up, but there was an open field in front of them. Near a small hill, a river several feet wide flows straight south, with only a small wooden bridge connecting the two banks.

There is a small tea stall next to the bridge, which is a little shabby. In the stall, there is only a middle-aged man who is sleeping and a bored little er.

The little er's eyes lit up when he saw Yun and Cheng, and he hurriedly ran out and smiled at the two: "I wonder if the two guest officers want to rest for a while? There is good herbal tea in the small shop for the guest officers to relieve their fatigue." The man behind him who was sleeping heard the sound and stopped resting. Straightened up and walked to the small stove in the tea stall, and saw that he was dressed like the owner of this tea stall.

After looking at it for a while, Yun Wanzhou turned his head to Cheng Linyuan and said, "How about it?"

Cheng Linyuan nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and said continuously: "Okay." As he spoke, he trembled and stepped on the stirrups and turned over and dismounted. Xiao Er next to him watched dumbfounded as he dismounted in a very strange posture, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Guest, guest officer, please." At the same time, he took the reins of the horses and tied the two horses to the wooden railing in front of the tea stall.

Yun Wanzhou looked at Cheng Linyuan limping forward, shaking his head and laughing without saying a word.

In the tea stall, the boss standing behind the small stove squinted his eyes and said, "What do the two guest officers want?"

After Yun Wanzhou picked a table inside and sat down, he thought for a while and said, "Let's have two big bowls of herbal tea, well, let's serve two side dishes casually." ”

The boss answered, rolled up his sleeves and got busy. As for the little two, he wanted to go and fight, but he was kicked out directly by the boss, saying, "If you come in again, my dishes will be broken by you." Xiao Er had no choice but to sit aside depressedly and look outside.

Yun Wanzhou saw Cheng Linyuan sitting on the bench and constantly beating all over his body, and only smiled faintly and looked around at this small tea stall.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, is there a place name here?"

Xiao Er saw that someone was chatting with him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." Although there is no place to live in this area, there are many people who come and go, and most of them are vendors. As for the name of the place, within a dozen miles, it is the name of the river. As he spoke, he bowed his mouth to the river.

Yun Wanzhou seemed to be a little interested, and said strangely: "Then what is the name of this river?"

Xiao Er said without concealment: "This place is the junction to find Yunzhou, called Qingheluo. ”

Yun Wanzhou raised his eyebrows: "Qingheluo, I have walked several times, but I never knew that there was a teahouse of yours near here?"

Xiao Er was stunned, blinked his eyes and muttered, "Uh... I only came here with the shopkeeper a few months ago, so I don't know. As he spoke, he secretly looked at the small stove, but he found that the boss was staring at him unkindly, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want to rebel because you don't want to make tea for the two guest officers?"

Xiao Er was excited, hurriedly ran to the side and took two large bowls, took two bowls of herbal tea from a wooden barrel and carefully sent them over, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to speak." ”

Yun Wanzhou took one of them and put it in front of Cheng Linyuan, while he looked at Xiao Er and the boss who was cooking, then took another bowl and took a sip, and said slowly: "It's okay." ”

The bowl is a large bowl, and the tea is coarse.

Although it looks a little plain, the entrance reveals that this herbal tea is actually bitter and sweet, and the slightest sweetness and coolness flow down the throat. Yun Wanzhou only took a few sips, but he saw Cheng Linyuan breathing a sigh of satisfaction, and there was not a drop left in the bowl.

Xiao Er looked quite complacent, and said with a smile: "How is it, this tea tastes good, isn't it? Come on, come on, I'll help this boy make another bowl. ”

Cheng Linyuan nodded again and again and handed over the bowl. Yun Wanzhou smiled, suddenly his brows moved, and he looked up at the tea stall. Cheng Linyuan followed his gaze and looked at it the same, but found that there was no one outside. He was about to ask, when he heard a sound of breaking the air, from small to large, from far and near. Several magic weapons spread out in the open space outside the tea stall, and five or six figures appeared.

The person at the head is a big man, with a powerful appearance and a strength that cannot be ignored. The big man's gaze swept over the horses bolted to the side, and his eyes seemed to relax. said, "Let's rest for a while and hurry." Several people behind him agreed, and they all rushed into the tea stall.

As soon as he sat down, a young man shouted loudly: "Boss, serve wine and meat!

Xiao Er trotted all the way over, took off the rag on his waist and wiped the table for a few people, and said with a smile: "Hey, a few guest officers wait a while, it'll be fine for a while!"

Seeing the little two walking away, the young man couldn't wait to speak: "Uncle Shi, what are we doing all the way to this Yunzhou? What kind of treasures..."

The rest of the people looked sideways, and the young man looked strange, and coughed dryly: "Ahem, uncle." You talk louder than I do..."

Da Han was stopped, suddenly slapped the young man on the back of the head in anger, and said without controlling his voice: "If the stinky boy finds fault again, I will throw you back to Qingzhou, and the province will be noisy all day long!"

Several people snickered. The man glared at them and said with a smile: "Hehe, Uncle Shi is serious." What are we going to do in that hellish place, even if there are any treasures, it was three days ago, I don't know how many people rushed over, and what can be left now?"

The big man didn't listen to his words at all, and his face was angry but helpless. After listening to the man's words, he hurriedly turned his head to look at the tea shed, Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were busy, except that they were startled by the sudden voice just now, there was nothing abnormal. Of the other two, the older one was drinking tea with his head down, as if he didn't care about what was going on here, while the other, who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, was holding a tea bowl and looking at him curiously.

After taking a closer look, the big man saw that there was nothing wrong, so he turned his head and glared at the man, paused for a while and said, "Hmph, who told you that the treasure has been taken away?"

The man, including the others, looked moved, and said in unison, "What?"

The big man rolled his eyes, as if he was quite helpless about this group of brainless people, so he had to explain: "When the news was transmitted back to the gang the day before yesterday, your master had already rushed over with a team of people, and yesterday the message came back and asked me to bring some more people over. And along the way, you won't see how many people are rushing to Yunzhou, right?"

As he spoke, several people showed a clear look on their faces. After waiting for a while, the man said, "But Uncle Shi, even if we rush over to join Master and them, we may not be able to gain anything." Could it be that we have to go into the mountains to find it?"

Hearing this, Dahan sneered and said coldly: "Who said that we must go in and find it, don't we gain anything if we guard outside?"

The man's face was full of excitement, as if he had directly ignored the meaning, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly and said: "Yes, yes, yes, if we get any treasures, won't the strength of that sect increase dramatically?

Although the few people next to him knew that it was a little unrealistic, they were still quite fascinated when they thought about it. Unexpectedly, the big man snorted coldly and said: "You don't have to think about it as a tyrant in Qingzhou, have you forgotten that there is a sect in Qingzhou that is known as the number one sect in the righteous path? Don't you know, nine years ago..."

The man said: "The first door of the righteous path? Isn't that Liuyun Valley? What happened nine years ago, uncle, don't talk half of it!"

Dahan glanced at him and suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it, it's okay to tell you about it." Nine years ago, didn't our Sanxiantang and Taiqingmen have a big fight? Your master was afraid that he would not be able to support it, so he took me and a few people to Liuyun Valley to ask for help, who knew that those guys were all very big, and after going for three days, the head of Liuyun Valley didn't see us, so he directly sent someone out to send us away, saying that 'the same is the right path, and it is not appropriate to meddle at will'. Hmph, a bunch of sanctimonious stinky hair!"

Cheng Linyuan was listening to it with relish on the side, but suddenly heard the big man open his mouth and scolded the people in Liuyun Valley for being stinky and miscellaneous hair, and suddenly thought that the big brother Yun beside him was also scolded. Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked to the side. I saw Yun Wanzhou holding the bowl in one hand without saying a word, although his face was expressionless, there was already a coldness in his eyes.

Several people next to him were in an uproar, and they all spoke: "Is there such a thing? Who is that person, so arrogant?"

The big man poured all the tea in one gulp, and said hatefully: "Hmph! It's not the Songdang Stream with the surname Zheng!" said that the meaning of injustice on his face was unfinished, and he continued: "I'm just an old miscellaneous hair, and I dare to ignore our Sanxian Hall!"

A few people saw that the big man had no fear of the world-famous Liuyun Valley Chieftain. Hearing that they were in a cold sweat, before they could open their mouths to stop them, they heard a cold and faint voice next to them.

"What kind of thing is your Sanxian Hall? It's just a small sect that doesn't enter the stream, and you dare to make a big deal of nonsense here?"
