Chapter 20: Farewell to Friends
A few people looked back and saw a figure hidden in the flowers near the courtyard gate, sobbing "whining". Yue Jiaolong vigilantly walked into the bushes and asked, "Who is it?"
The man in the bush did not answer, and wept to himself. Yue Jiaolong took a closer look before he recognized that it was the green-clothed girl who had been with Mr. Meng before, shrunk into a ball, held a short sword tightly, and trembled.
Yue Jiaolong expected that she must have been frightened before, so he said with concern: "Don't be afraid, girl, it's us, are you okay?"
The girl in green recognized that it was Yue Jiaolong and the others, but Wu Zi did not answer, but cried even more. Yue Jiaolong stepped forward to help her up, and asked again, "Girl, why are you here?"
The girl in green, supported by Yue Jiaolong, staggered out of the flowers, and while twitching her body, she sobbed and wailed: "Dead...... My dad died...... My dad was killed by them, woo-woo-woo......"
Yue Jiaolong also knew that the people in the courtyard were dead, but he didn't know who did it, let alone who her father was, although he heard Ah Yue say that he had seen people from the Star Sect beforehand, but he didn't dare to assert it, and continued to ask in confusion: "Who are 'they'?
Without waiting for the girl in green to answer, Mr. Qi Shui interjected: "You don't know his father, you still eat and live in people's houses for a few days, it seems that you are not so smart." ”
Yue Jiaolong said suspiciously: "Mr. Meng?" He had seen the girl in green accompanying Mr. Meng at the conference before, so as soon as Mr. Qi Shui said that, he thought of Mr. Meng.
Mr. Qi Shui tilted his head and replied, "No, she is Meng Xue, the eldest lady of the Hundred Gardens." ”
Yue Jiaolong saw that the girl in green was the eldest lady of Baihuayuan, and then thought that Mr. Meng had died in the hall, and sighed and comforted Meng Xue: "Lingzun's matter...... We also know that there is no resurrection in life...... Please also ask the girl to take care of herself. By the way, how can you ......" Yue Jiaolong wanted to ask, "How are you safe and sound", but suddenly felt that it was a little inappropriate to ask like this, and swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth.
Meng Xue was also smart, guessed what Yue Jiaolong meant, and said tremblingly: "Not long after you left, the guests also left one after another, and suddenly rushed into a group of wicked people who claimed to be from the Star Sect, shouting loudly, and asked if they had seen Duan Yu and a man and two women, we are just ordinary people, where can we have a relationship with the Dali Emperor, naturally we can't answer, those wicked people don't distinguish between right and wrong, pull out their knives and kill, Daddy saw that the situation was wrong, and tried his best to protect me away, so I was able to hide here." When I saw Childe and a few people entering, I thought it was the wicked people who had returned. ”
When Yue Jiaolong heard Meng Xue say this, his heart was shocked, and he secretly thought: "Sure enough, it's the people of the Star Sect! It turns out that I hurt them, and I actually killed so many people." Thinking of this, I can't help but feel that the will of heaven makes people, if I don't go back to ancient times, these people will not die in vain, and Meng Xue will not lose her loved ones, and after a burst of self-blame, she suddenly "Ah......!" roared out the resentment in her chest, and slammed a fist on the courtyard gate, secretly vowing to seek justice for the dead.
When Xiao Qing saw Yue Jiaolong's move, he knew that he was kind, and after hearing that they had caused the innocent death of the people in the courtyard, Yue Jiaolong would definitely feel uneasy. Although she also wanted to find Sima Diao again as soon as possible to fight for life and death, after the battle a few days ago, she couldn't bear to hurt her beloved again, so she had to think about it in the long run, stepped forward and said softly in distress: "Yue Lang, your body has not fully recovered, don't break your body again, we will make plans when you recover from your injury, and we will definitely make him pay for the blood debt of the Xingzhu faction in the future." ”
Yue Jiaolong only knew how to blame himself, so naturally he couldn't listen to Xiaoqing's reassuring words, he only felt that he had hurt people a lot, and he was indignant in his heart, so he turned his head and said to Meng Xue with shame: "Miss Meng, it's me who is not good...... We are the people they are looking for, but I didn't expect to affect everyone in the park, and they all blame me, I hurt them......"
Meng Xue suddenly learned that Yue Jiaolong and the others were the people who were looking for the wicked, although she was a little surprised, but she was not unclear about right and wrong, she endured the pain of losing her relatives, wiped her tears, and replied in a choked voice: "It turns out that Gongzi and the two girls are the people that the wicked are looking for, and they can't blame Gongzi, and Gongzi doesn't have to blame himself too much, everything is done by wicked people, this girl is right, Gongzi is injured, don't break your body because of this." ”
Seeing that Yue Jiaolong only blamed himself and forgot to leave, if the wicked person turned back and bumped into him, wouldn't he have to pay for his life, and said hurriedly: "I said little brother, let's find a safe place to discuss it first, and then leave quickly, if we meet a wicked person, we may have to go with the people in the house." ”
After being appeased by a few people, Yue Jiaolong's mind calmed down a little, and then he thought that he couldn't mistake everyone because of his momentary emotions. said solemnly to Meng Xue: "Miss Meng, let's take care of Ling Zun's affairs first, and then make plans when we find a place to stay." Rest assured, I will seek justice for the enmity of others. ”
Meng Xue nodded and whispered "um" in reply. Now that she is alone, she has no plan, so she has to bury Mr. Meng first according to Yue Jiaolong's wishes, and she believes that Yue Jiaolong and the others will not harm her heart.
Several people helped Meng Xue find a piece of land in the back mountain to bury Mr. Meng's body, which can be regarded as finding a place for Mr. Meng, and for the other doctors who came to participate in the conference and died in vain, they had no time to take care of it because they had to leave Baihuayuan early. Yue Jiaolong looked at Mr. Meng's grave, thinking of those others who could not enter the ground because he died innocently, and couldn't help but grieve again.
Xiao Qing saw that Yue Jiaolong was silent alone, guessing that he was secretly uneasy again, and came to him and said softly: "Yue Lang, don't blame yourself anymore, we have to leave the lane building quickly, but this girl ......" After speaking, she glanced at Meng Xue, who was worshipping in front of the grave, and meant to ask Yue Jiaolong, how Meng Xue would settle after they left, she was afraid that Yue Jiaolong would take Meng Xue on the road because of self-blame. After all, going to Yang Tho Baa City is not a blessed land, and it must be more precipitous than this alley. If you bring a person who is untied, there will naturally be a lot of inconvenience in doing things, and with the unique mind of the girl's family, seeing Meng Xue's words and deeds towards Yue Jiaolong, it is inevitable that she will be jealous.
Yue Jiaolong followed Xiao Qing's gaze and looked at Meng Xue who was sobbing in front of the grave. As for Xiao Qing's jealousy, he didn't notice it, but he thought that because of him, Meng Xue was now alone, and he didn't know what Meng Xue's plans would be in the future, so he asked Meng Xue: "Miss Meng, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Meng Xue slowly got up from the grave, looked at the earthen bag where Mr. Meng was buried, and replied dumbly: "I don't know, my father has always arranged everything for me, and I just listen." Now that my father is dead and I can't go home, I don't know where to go. ”
Yue Jiaolong saw that Meng Xue was going to no fixed place, and there was another girl's house, which was really pitiful, and he couldn't take Meng Xue all the way to Yangtho City, so as not to fall into Meng Xue in danger. When he was thinking about how to settle Meng Xuefang, Mr. Qi Shui said from the side: "Since Mr. Meng's future affairs have been done, then I should also go, so as not to be frightened everywhere with you all the way, I still want to go back to my rejuvenation forest." ”
Yue Jiaolong heard that Mr. Qi Shui was about to leave, and then asked, "Senior Qi, are you leaving?"
Mr. Qi Shui replied, "Tokyo Bianliang." ”
Yue Jiaolong's heart was shocked: "Bianliang, isn't it the capital of the Song Dynasty, doesn't it belong to the Central Plains?" suddenly thought of why not let Meng Xue follow Mr. Qi Shui all the way, at least leave the territory of Dali, the Star Sect is not so rampant, and Meng Xue is less dangerous, thinking of this, he said to Meng Xue: "Miss Meng, if you don't wronged you, go to Bianliang with Senior Qi first, at least it is safe there, and then we will go to you after we finish our business." ”
Mr. Qi Shui glanced at his mouth and interjected: "Little brother, how do you talk like this, are you very wronged with me all the way? I have food and drink, which is a hundred times stronger than this little girl's garden!" Yue Jiaolong originally meant that if Meng Xue was with Mr. Qi Shui, he would be tossed and uncomfortable by his child's temper, but how could Mr. Qi Shui feel that he had a strange temper, so he mistakenly thought that Yue Jiaolong said that he lived in a simple place.
When Meng Xue heard that Yue Jiaolong was going to say goodbye to her, she couldn't help but feel a little sad, her face showed disappointment, and she asked in surprise, "Isn't Childe going with us?"
Yue Jiaolong responded: "We are going to Yangtho City to do some things, this is in danger, so it is inconvenient to take Miss Meng on the same road, please forgive Miss Meng, you can rest assured, I will definitely come to see you after finishing things." ”
Because Meng Xue had seen Yue Jiaolong's novel experiments at the previous conference, he felt that he had seen a lot, and Yue Jiaolong was handsome and upright, so Meng Xue thought that if he was accompanied by Yue Jiaolong wherever he went, he would not feel lonely and dull. But Yue Jiaolong has now opened his mouth and is inconvenient to take her by his side, and maybe he will definitely meet her in the future, so she had to nod helplessly and said: "That boy remembered to come to Xiaoxue after finishing his errands." Childe doesn't need to be called 'girl' in the future, just call me Xiaoxue, don't you know Childe's name?"
Yue Jiaolong replied: "Okay, thanks to Miss Meng don't mind, then I will call Miss Meng by her name, my surname is Yue, my name is Jiaolong, you can call me Brother Yue." ”
After Meng Xue heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, she barely squeezed out a faint smile on her tear-stained face, nodded, and silently agreed to what Yue Jiaolong said.
After discussing where Meng Xue went, several people saw that it was late at night and it was inconvenient to go on the road, so they agreed to set off at dawn and then set off, and leaned under the tree to take a nap one after another.
After a few sticks of incense, the sky gradually turned white. After a short rest, although everyone still remembered what happened in the Hundred Gardens, they finally took a breath, except for Mr. Qi Shui, who was still lying under the tree, snoring from time to time, and everyone else opened their eyes one after another, ready to get up and leave.
Yue Jiaolong walked in front of Mr. Qi Shui, woke him up, and seriously instructed him, he was afraid that Mr. Qi Shui would be too childish, and he only cared about his own play on this trip, and snubbed Meng Xue, so please ask Mr. Qi Shui to help take care of Meng Xue all the way. After saying the words of entrustment, Yue Jiaolong promised Meng Xue again that he would go to Bianliang to visit after completing the important business.
After several people said goodbye to each other, Yue Jiaolong went out of the city with Qing and Yue, and came to a thatched hut under the guidance of Ah Yue. An old woman in the hut saw Qing and Yue coming, and immediately stepped forward to greet her: "Miss, you are here, the horses you want are ready, and you are behind the house, please come with me." ”
Xiaoqing responded: "There is Granny Lao." So he went with the old woman to the back of the house. Ah Yue's sudden appearance in the inn before had given Yue Jiaolong a general idea of Xiaoqing's identity, thinking that this old woman should also have received her favor, or an old servant at home, and was no longer suspicious, and followed Ah Yue one after the other.
When the three men came to the back of the house with the old woman, they saw three brown horses tied under the tree, thin and thin, but with long legs, majestic and high. The old woman pointed to the horses and said to Xiao Qing: "Miss, this is the horse you asked someone to find, what do you think?"
Xiaoqing went to the bottom of the tree, stroked the mane in the neck of one of the horses, and after weighing the horses up and down, he replied: "Although it is not as good as my favorite horse before, it is also a top-grade horse, mother-in-law, I bothered you." ”
The old woman replied, "Miss is serious, and you have to be careful everywhere when you go." I heard ......"
Before the old woman finished speaking, Xiaoqing gave a stop look and interjected, "Mother-in-law, you are too worried, it's okay." After speaking, he took the reins from the old woman's hand, stepped on the horse, turned to Yue Jiaolong and said, "Yue Lang, let's go on the road." ”
The old woman turned her back and untied a rein from the tree and handed it to Yue Jiaolong. Yue Jiaolong stood beside the horse in a daze, did not take the reins in time, and just stared at the horse back and forth. Ah Yue came to the bottom of the tree, untied the reins of the other horse, stepped on the back of the horse and drove to Xiaoqing, seeing that Yue Jiaolong only cared about the horse, but did not get on the horse, and thought that there was something defective in the horse, so he asked: "Why doesn't Gongzi get on the horse? Is there anything wrong with this horse?" But I don't know that Yue Jiaolong doesn't talk about riding horses, and even horses have rarely seen them.
Yue Jiaolong saw that Qing and Yue had been on the horse and waiting, so he had to take the reins in a hurry, and learned the way they got on the horse before, stepped on the saddle with his left foot, and wanted to turn sideways and then turn his right leg over from the horse's back, but the right leg had just been lifted to the horse's back, and the horse neighed with a long sound, and the horse trembled with a neighing sound, and Yue Jiaolong fell to the ground with a "flutter" along the horse's back.
Seeing this, several people laughed out loud, and Xiao Qing smiled: "Isn't Yue Lang never riding a horse?"
Yue Jiaolong got up from the ground with a red face, and struggled to explain: "What's so strange, I rarely go far away, so naturally I haven't ridden a horse." ”
After some falling, getting up again, and tossing repeatedly, with the help of the old woman, Yue Jiaolong finally sat on the back of the horse safely. The old woman said to each other again uneasily: "This horse, the prince must not whip it, just hold the reins and exert a slight force under the crotch." ”
Although Yue Jiaolong has never ridden a horse, he has also seen the posture of riding a horse from various TV series. Seeing that he was sitting steadily, he imitated the movements of others, clamped his legs, and shouted loudly: "Drive!", as soon as the horse heard the command, he clicked a few times, and flew out with the shaking Yue Jiaolong. Yue Jiaolong felt that the woods on the side of the road seemed to be backwards, and he couldn't help jumping past his eyes, and said in his heart: "This horse is really fast, and it can automatically speed up without changing gears!"
Xiao Qing and Ah Yue saw Yue Jiaolong swaying out behind them, looked at each other and smiled, and then followed.
