"Qiong Wei, after a few days of hard work, my brother finally found you a good family!"

After entering the Liang Mansion, Xingyan introduced Qiong Wei to Liang Yuanwai with a smile on his face. And the kind-eyed Liang Yuan in the living room was originally a little indifferent, and he looked indispensable, but when Xingyan called Qiong Wei over, and when he saw this little girl with pink makeup, he suddenly stood up from the Taishi's chair, his eyebrows were dazzled, and his face was full of red light.

"Good! good!"

Looking at Xiao Qiongwei, the steady old man who has always been slow and reasonable, his speech became a little hurried: "God treats me Liang Mei well!"

The old man kept praising him: "I want my Liang Meigong to do good deeds all my life, but I don't have any rest under my knees; I thought God was playing tricks on me, but I didn't want to stay up to sixty heads and give me such a golden boy and girl!"

Looking at the beautiful jade and strange little Qiongwei, Liang Yuanwai smiled from ear to ear. At this time, Mrs. Liang, who was called by him to watch the righteous daughter together, also smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face were stretched, and she didn't know what to say for a while. However, this old lady Liang has always been kind to her husband, and she pours cold water when she is happy. Now seeing that her husband was getting carried away, the old lady with beady hair smiled and said: "Xianggong, now you know that God has eyes......, right?

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, so she panicked and said: "No, I have to hurry back to the incense hall to add incense to the gods, lest they blame it, and this good daughter in hand has flown again!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Liang disappeared behind the screen in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the old lady was gone, Xingyan said to Liang Yuanwai: "Actually, Madame is too worried. The house is a hairpin family, and Master Liang used to be a scholar of the imperial court, and he has always been an official and a clear official, so how can God treat him lightly. ”

Hearing him say this, the old Shangshu who returned to his hometown was really happy. It's just that until this time, the little sister who was called into the inner hall was still confused, just staring around with wide eyes, but she didn't understand what they were talking about.

Besides, Liang Yuanwai, when the initial surprise passed, now he gradually became a little confused. Finally moved his eyes away from Qiong Wei, and Liang Yuanwai asked Xingyan: "Zhang Gongzi, please forgive the old man for being blunt, I see that the three of you should be strangers in the rivers and lakes, how can you be so downtrodden that you want to ask for silver?

"Alas......"

Listening to the old man's question, the young man sighed, a layer of sadness appeared on his face, and he sighed: "Shangshu Xianggong's eyes are like torches, and I and this Lingyi girl are actually children of the rivers and lakes." Qiong Wei is my sister-in-law. We all learned swords in the deep mountains of Lingnan, and we thought that one day we would go down the mountain to make a name for ourselves and get ahead. Who knew that the rivers and lakes were sinister, the turmoil was unpredictable, and after going down the mountain for half a year, not only did the swordsman and knight not succeed, but he was also penniless today. 'A penny is hard to beat a hero', if it weren't for the lack of money, I wouldn't be ruthless to let my sister be the righteous daughter of others!"

Speaking of which, I paid attention to Liang Yuanwai's expression, and seeing that he was still a little skeptical, he said again: "Alas, in fact, the rivers and lakes are drifting, and I am tired of the wind and rain." Look at my sister-in-law, she hasn't grown up yet, just like a flower and bone that can't stand the wind and frost, how can I be willing to let her suffer with us again. Along the way, when I arrived in your mansion, I heard people spread the name of good and virtuous people everywhere, and I had no children under my knees, so I thought it would be better to recommend my sister as the righteous daughter of Liangfu Moth, so that not only can I and Lingmei get some money, but also have a good home for Qiong Wei......"

Speaking of this, the young man suddenly became a little indignant again: "Hmph! It's all rumors and coaxing, saying that 'poor literature and rich martial arts', and thinking that practicing martial arts can make you rich, but who knew that when I went down the mountain and inquired, I realized that this means that only rich people have the leisure time to practice martial arts!"

"Ahem!"

When he heard this, the old man was completely relieved, comforted them a few words, and sincerely retained them to live in the mansion. However, after listening to his words, this Qiong Wei righteous brother insisted on reluctantly, saying that there was still a close friend's kindness that had not been repaid, and he could not come back to see his righteous sister until he repaid the favor. After a few words, Liang Yuan saw that they were very decided, so they no longer insisted on it.

When it was time to leave, Xingyan bent down slightly, and told the little girl who was still ignorant: "Qiong Wei, this time my brother is on a long trip, or three or five days, or two or three years, you can wait here with peace of mind and listen to their words carefully." When my brother's business is done, I will definitely come back to see you!"

After the order, he straightened his waist again, his eyebrows fluttered, and he pressed his sword to the happy old Shangshu and said: "Shangshu Xianggong, Zhang is a person from the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know how to be polite." I have thanked you for your great kindness in advance, and I want to ask you again - if you refuse to treat my righteous sister well, then I will not spare him when I come back!"

"Nature, nature!"

Liang Yuanwai agreed when he heard this. Then I heard the young man say, "Okay, then I will take a piece of this silver, and I will ask for the rest when I come back in the future!"

After that, Xingyan made a move in the void, and immediately a large silver ingot flew out of the Zhu Pan beside Liang Yuanwai, crossed an arc in the air, and firmly grasped it into his hand. After taking the silver ingot, he gestured to the girl beside him, and prepared to turn and leave.

It was only at this time that Xingyan took three or four steps, but he suddenly heard someone behind him say sweetly: "Grandpa, thank you for the money, we are leaving." ”

When the words fell, Xingyan felt a gust of wind around him, and in the blink of an eye, there was another person in front of him - this person was Qiong Wei, who was jumping in front of him and running towards the door.

“...... Qiong Wei, you come back. ”

It wasn't until this time that Xingyan realized that he had forgotten the most important thing.

Qiong Wei replied, raised his face and asked, "What does my brother want to say to Qiong Wei?"

Seeing his brother's serious face, staring at him motionlessly, Qiong Wei felt a little strange.

Seeing that this innocent little girl was still confused, she woke up and pondered, her eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, Qiong Wei, do you remember saying a word to your brother?" ”

"Huh, remember!"

The little girl replied loudly: "What are the words?"

“...... Did you say that you are very well-behaved and listen to your brother for everything?"

"Yes, yes, I said it~"

"Well, that's good, then today my brother wants Qiong Wei to be obedient and do one thing. ”

"Okay, what's going on?"

"It's not a big deal—it's just that Qiong Wei you stay here and be the daughter of this old man Liang. ”

"Hmm!"

"Okay! Qiong Wei is really good, me and your sister Lingyi will leave first. ”

After that, as soon as Xingyan pulled Lingyi's sleeve, he bypassed Qiong Wei and walked towards the door.

"Will you come with me again?"

After that, when he traveled all the way, he was skeptical and couldn't help but look back.

"Whew...... Qiong Wei is really obedient!"

Hesitating all the way, waiting out of the gate of Liangfu, walking out of two or three streets, and out of the gate of Changping County, Master Zhang, who was paying attention all the way, found that Qiong Wei really didn't follow again, so he really put his mind at ease. After going out of the city gate, he walked out for several miles, and only then did he stop and said seriously to the girl beside him: "Lingyi...... I was forced to send Qiong Wei under the eaves, and I had no choice but to ......"

"Well, I know. ”

The delicate dragon girl replied, looking at the boy with gentle eyes. Perhaps, after the accident a few days ago, the originally carefree and delicate dragon girl has become a little more mature in her understanding of this world.

Hearing Lingyi'er's answer, Xingyan was full of gratitude, but after that, he didn't speak again, just stood in the middle of the road, stunned. At this time, the sun is already setting, and the weeds on the side of the ancient road outside Changping City are green; the slender blades of grass rub against each other, and the autumn wind blows the "rustle" sound, which enters the ears and adds to people's sorrow. On the ancient road, in the slanting sun, the shadows of the two of them were stretched slender by the setting sun.

After a long silence, the standing young man finally spoke again: "Actually, I really can't bear to put her in the Liang family. I—I'm thinking about her a little bit now......"

After saying a word, when I was melancholy, I heard someone reply: "Hehehe! I'm so happy! I know that my brother didn't really leave Qiong Wei behind!"

"Huh?!"

Xingyan turned his head in astonishment, but found that in the ancient road of the sunset, a little girl who was as delicate as jade had stood behind him at some point, looking at him with a bright smile. At this time, the sunset reflected behind her, and her smiling face was extremely bright, and the breeze blowing from the field blew a few strands of her hair in front of the smiling flowers, shining with brilliant golden light in the sunset.

"Qiong Wei, why did you come along?"

The young man was just about to be overjoyed, but he suddenly remembered something, and immediately said with a straight face: "Qiong Wei, why didn't you listen to your brother and secretly ran back by yourself?"

"Hee~"

Seeing his brother blaming, Qiong Wei didn't care at all, but ran to the front with joy, leaned closely in front of Xingyan, and said with a raised face: "Brother Tang Master, don't think that Qiong Wei is young, so he doesn't remember anything! After his brother left, Qiong Wei remembered that he had said that he had to listen to his brother every time, but in addition to not letting Qiong Wei follow his brother!"

“......”

Awake to hear the words, speechless for a while. At this moment, I heard a series of "da-da" horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the county seat, and as soon as the horse came in a hurry, Xu Yan stopped in front of Xingyan. I saw that the rider on the horse turned over and dismounted, panting and said, "Zhang Gongzi, please stay!"

When he heard this, he found that the person who came was the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion. Seeing him chasing after him, Xingyan's face was ashamed, and he hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, it's the sister who is disobedient." Wait a little longer until I persuade her to make sure she goes back with you!"

"No need. ”

When he was explaining, he saw the housekeeper wave his hand slightly and said: "Zhang Gongzi, my master just said that you and Qiong Wei have a deep relationship between brothers and sisters, and he is not blessed, so there is no need to force it." ”

"This ......"

Xingyan wanted to say something, but heard the housekeeper say: "The villain is here now to help the master bring a message to the son." The old man said that although he saw that although the son was enthusiastic, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and his eyes were full of sorrow, so he couldn't bear to add new sorrows to you. And the lord said—"

Speaking of this, the old housekeeper paused, thought about it carefully, and continued: "My master said that even if there is a big matter, the son should not be discouraged. Because the end of the road is not the end of the road, and the end of the road can also be survived!"

After that, the housekeeper of the Liang Mansion arched his hand and said, "The villain's words have been brought, and I dare not delay the trip of the distinguished guests." Farewell!"

After saying that, I saw him get on the horse with his legs, and with a sound of "driving", he raised his whip and urged the horse away. Looking at the back of a person and a horse in the smoke and dust, Xingyan repeatedly weighed the words that the housekeeper had just brought in his heart.

It's just that after Xingyan pondered for a long time, he suddenly heard a slight "boom" sound on his chest. Hearing the surprise, Xingyan hurriedly gathered his mind, pressed his hands on the shoulders of the girl in his arms, and pushed her away a little - he saw the little girl in front of him, who had always been lively and joyful, but at this moment he was flat and crying tears.

"Qiong Wei, what's wrong with you?!"

At this time, although the little girl was just crying quietly, almost silently, it was more powerful than the previous one or two cries. Pearl-like tears kept falling down her pink cheeks one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they wet her pink sleeves.

Suddenly, seeing Qiong Wei crying so much, Xingyan panicked for a while, and hurriedly asked her why she was sad. Lingyi'er next to her also hurried over and comforted her. Listening to their comfort, Xiao Qiong Wei slightly stopped crying, and said with a sob: "Woo, it must be that Brother Xingyan hates me very much, so he wants to throw Qiong Wei away." Woooooooo

“...... Not really!"

Seeing Qiong Wei's tears falling down continuously, it seemed really sad, and at this moment, Xingyan had no choice but to tell her what was in his heart: "Qiong Wei, it's not that I want to throw you away. Sister, you are sensible and cute, how could I hate you? In fact, this time, my brother is going to the South China Sea to avenge your sister Xue Yi, but these days, I always think of the words of the elder of the fierce plough of Mozhou, saying that you are 'two long-lived birds, one short-lived flower'. Now, you Xue Yi sister her ......"

Speaking of this, the young man's face was painful: "Half of the elder's words have been fulfilled in Xue Yi. If I go to the South China Sea this time, there will be more than one luck, if Qiong Wei goes with me, I am really afraid that I will be separated from you for a long time...... I think these are all destiny, they are all predestined, and no one can change them. Rather than not knowing how to leave in the future, it is better to entrust you to a good family now, answer the curse, and save the future ......"

Speaking of which, I can't go on. And Qiong Wei, who was originally crying like a small lotus with rain, gradually stopped crying. After a while, Qiong Wei still had rain and dew on her face, but she smiled: "Happy, it turns out that my brother doesn't really hate Qiong Wei!"

When she was happy, Qiong Wei saw that her brother was still in pain, so she was stunned, thought about it with her heart, and suddenly said in a rare serious tone: "Brother, what is the destiny of heaven, what is the destiny?

The little sister was a little angry: "Hmph! These people who set the destiny of heaven are all ignorant! Brother, don't worry, if they are bad, as long as the elder brother does not drive Qiong Wei away, Qiong Wei will definitely work hard to help his brother change these destiny together!"

"Hmmm......"

Listening to this little girl with a strange background, she said these words seriously, but somehow, looking at her determined look, there was a strange change in her heart. A very strange and strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart, which made Xingyan feel that the cute and obedient little girl in front of her suddenly became both familiar and unfamiliar.

After a moment of silence, he looked at Qiong Wei for a long time, and then he came back to his senses leisurely, and thought in his heart: "Well, if one day, if I really want to part with Qiong Wei like that, I will not hesitate to die, go with her, and leave for a long time." ”

The mind has been decided, and the originally scattered and sorrowful mind seems to have gained a moment of peace. The hall master of the four seas softened his tone, leaned over and said to his sister: "Yes, my sister is right, nothing in this world is predestined! Even if someone wants to play tricks on us, we will not stand idly by!"

"Hmm!"

Qiong Wei listened, responded happily, turned her face to the dragon girl who was quietly watching next to her, and said happily: "Sister Lingyi, my brother really doesn't hate me, and praises me!"

"Well, of course. ”

Lingyi stroked the little girl's soft hair with a smile and said, "Qiong Wei is so well-behaved, anyone will hurt!"

At this time, everyone had made a decision in their hearts, so they resumed a bit of the old atmosphere and rushed to the direction of Luofu in the south.

About two or three hours later, the three young men and women who were hurrying on their way came to a market town. They had already traveled thousands of miles, and by this time it was getting late. When I arrived in this big town, I could already see that the streets were brightly lit and people came and went. After driving for half a day, he was also a little tired, so he proposed that everyone rest in this town for the time being. At this time, he was the backbone of the three people, and when he saw his proposal, Lingyi Qiongwei had no objection, and the three of them wandered around the market town together.

Without further ado, not long after walking around this night market, Xingyan saw a few thick butter candles lit on the street corner in the distance, illuminating a large piece of yellow cloth flag. Although it is far away, the few big characters on the yellow cloth banner can still be seen clearly: "Fortune is impermanent, and the future is ...... Interesting and interesting. ”

Seeing that this cloth banner was written interestingly, Xingyan paced over and asked the middle-aged man dressed as a scholar: "Ask this divine calculation, why don't you write 'fate', but write 'fortune' upside down?"

“......”

Seeing that someone came to the door, but didn't take care of the business, just asked some irrelevant things there, the unlucky Xiangshi, who hadn't opened much this day, was a little unlucky, and rolled his eyes at Xingyan and shouted: "Phew, what kind of fate, as long as Lao Tzu is happy, if you want to turn it upside down, you can ......turn it upside down—— eh?

As soon as he was halfway through his words, the priest suddenly saw the young man in front of the stall suddenly dancing with his hands and looking crazy!

"Bad luck! It turns out that I met a sheep madness!"

The fortune teller secretly complained, but he could not stand idly by, so he had to stand up from behind the wooden table, trying to go around and hold down the sick young man. Who knows, as soon as he stood up, he found that the crazy boy had calmed down. Seeing that the priest stood up and wanted to come over, the young man said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Shensuan, I understand." ”

With that, the young man who recovered quickly arched his hand and turned to leave.

"Scared! Inexplicably, but it turned out to be a madman. ”

After screaming bad luck, the Xiangshi, who had suffered a false alarm before finishing work, sat down hatefully, and was ready to put away the paperwork on the table, and went back. It's just that at this moment, there was a sudden flash of silver light in front of him, and he only heard a "bang", and something had already landed on the wooden table he pressed with his hand.

"Ah, this is?!"

Just as he looked at the thing in front of him and his eyes widened in shock, he heard a clear word from the crowd in the distance: "A small reward is not a tribute, please accept it." ”

Although these words were far away, they were very clear in their ears, but at this moment, the master could no longer distinguish the contents, and only cared about grabbing this ingot of silver, and kept rubbing it in his hand: "This, this is about twenty taels!"

Looking at the large ingot of silver in his hand, the down-and-out man was overjoyed, and after a moment of pleasure, he regained consciousness a little, and then he raised his eyes and tried to find the trace of the benevolent father, but he could only see people coming and going on the street, and he could no longer see the figure of the magnificent young man.

After trying to search for a while, he saw that the young man was nowhere to be found, so the excited Xiangshi had to sit down. Carefully put the big silver into the blanket, and then turned back to carefully study the signboard cloth behind him for a while, this inexplicable Xiangshi took out five copper coins from his sleeve, prayed a few words, threw the copper coins on the wooden case, and taught a lesson in money hexagrams: "Ah!"

When he saw the appearance of the copper coins arranged between the pen holders and bamboo sticks on the table, the poor man who had been in a trance suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a hexagram 'Ma De Night Grass'!"

At this time, the minister was full of joy: "Fortunately, fortunately, I said that I don't have to rush to finish work tonight!"

Not to mention that after that, this Xiangshi has been taking care of business until late at night, and then talking about it, when he turned around and left in front of the hexagram case, he gave him a reward, and then went to find his Qiong Wei Lingyi. I looked around in the crowd for a while, but I didn't see any trace of the second daughter for a while; I was a little anxious, and suddenly I heard a familiar and immature voice coming from the wind not far away: "Uncle! Your steamed bowl cake is obviously embedded with preserved almonds, but you lied to me that it is red date filling!"

Before a word fell, someone shouted: "Ouch, my little aunt and grandmother! I didn't mean to lie to you, but I made a mistake in my busy schedule and gave you the wrong bowl of cakes." You must know that this almond cake is more expensive than the red date cake!"

"Hmph~ I don't believe it-"

The little sister argued: "Uncle, don't deceive us ignorant women and children! My brother is very powerful, he will come soon!"

“......”

In the crowd two or three feet away, hearing the words of the little sister, the young man's face finally showed his first real smile in more than ten days!

After that, Xingyan didn't have the heart to stay in this town, and after greeting Lingyi Qiongwei, the three of them rushed all the way to Luofu in the starry night.

After about four or five hours, they came to a long mountain range. There is a slight impression here, knowing that after this continuous mountain field, and then more than a thousand miles, you can reach Luofu. At this time, it was about the beginning of the hour, the darkest time before dawn. Hurried all the way, in the faint starlight, Xingyan saw a few beads of sweat on Qiong Wei's forehead, so he greeted and flew to the highest peak in this mountain, standing on the abrupt and towering mountain, and resting temporarily.

At this moment, the night was thick, and only by a faint starlight between the clouds in the sky could they see the mountains and ravines under their feet surging with mist, half gray and half white, unpredictable, surrounding the abrupt peaks at their feet, like waves, floating the three of them in the air. And the sky above them was also surging with thousands of miles of clouds and haze, covering the sky and harmonizing with the rolling mountains on the earth, isolating the three of Xingyan in the clouds and mist of heaven and earth. In the sky above their lonely figures, the cloud array that covered thousands of miles became thicker and thicker in the eastern sky, as if they were trying to cover the brilliance that might pierce the clouds over there.

And at this moment, standing on the peak, the strong wind blowing, looking up at the sky and overlooking all things, the master of the Four Seas Hall who has been depressed for several days, suddenly felt a surge of heart, as if there was an urge to look up to the sky and howl. After another moment, in the face of the wind and clouds rolling up and down in front of him, the young man who stood proudly on the top of the peak suddenly sang loudly: "Heaven and earth are furnaces, and creation is work." Yin and Yang are charcoal, and all things are copper ......"

This song that broke through the chest from the depths of the heart, heroic and magnificent, and later could no longer hear the specific words, only turned into a string of majestic howling songs, roaring and rolling in the sky and earth. At this moment, the thickest and darkest clouds on the eastern horizon were suddenly shaken by the song of the dragon and the roar of the tiger, and suddenly the clouds opened a line, revealing a ray of cold light. This hazy dawn pierced through the thick clouds and mist, shining brighter and brighter, brighter and brighter, and almost only in an instant, it tore open a line of the heavy cloud shell of the sky, illuminating the entire eastern sky. Since then, the light of the eastern sky has been surging towards the young man like a tide that has burst the embankment. The bright and brilliant sun's brilliance and the thunderous roar rushed against each other, and soon collided in the clouds - after that, the clouds and haze that had been full of hustle and bustle suddenly swept away, and thousands of mountains shone brightly, and thousands of clouds opened, and in the blink of an eye, this bright and glorious morning sun had illuminated the endless clouds in advance.

By this time, the long howl of the sonic boom had gradually stopped. When the whistle subsided, the young man who was originally full of pride suddenly fell into deep thought: how wonderful the feeling just now was, the endless earth under his feet, the infinite void above his head, in that brief moment, seemed to stay in his own grasp, as if at that moment, it was himself who brought this infinite light to the sleeping earth, not the rising sun!

"Tweet ——"

Just when the young man from a humble background was a little panicked by the illusion of dominating all things just now, he heard a cry like a milk warbler around him. Listening to this immature voice, he didn't need to turn his head, and he knew that this should be Qiong Wei learning from him, looking up to the sky and singing on the top of the mountain in the early morning. It's just that when she was learning the sample, Xiao Qiongwei's voice was soft, and the whistling that she exhaled with all her might did not spread all over the sky, but only crashed into the ravine in front of her, causing a continuous burst of pleasant echoes.

With her first cry, the birds in the mountains and rivers that were shocked by the roar just now finally calmed down, and together with the echo of the clear and continuous hollow valley, they called out their own chirping birds. So this majestic mountains, reckless mountains and forests, finally really woke up in this bright morning sun!
