Chapter 21 Sleepless Food
Finally, after tossing for half a month, Yi Dan and Ouyang Yucheng followed Li Xian back to Lingxi Valley. At this time, Miao Qiuyu and Youming stood at the mouth of the valley to greet them, and Miao Qiuyu greeted them with a smile and said, "You guys are back, it's been more than half a month back and forth, is everything going well?"
"Oh, it's okay" Li Xian replied to Miao Qiuyu's words with three simple words. Miao Qiuyu looked at Ouyang Yucheng, so she asked Lixian: "May I ask who this is?"
"This is the Ouyang Gang Leader of the Knife Grinding Gang" After saying that, Li Xian introduced Ouyang Yucheng again: "Ouyang Gang Leader, this is my junior sister, Miao Qiuyu"
Miao Qiuyu bowed and said, "It turned out to be the Ouyang gang leader, disrespectful and disrespectful."
"Don't dare, Senior Miao, Ouyang Yucheng is polite," Ouyang Yucheng also bowed
"Ah, it turns out that you are the leader of the world's largest knife sharpening gang?" Youming on the side asked happily.
"How dare you, you will be famous, please don't laugh," Ouyang Yu replied.
"I have long heard that Ouyang Gang Master is the number one hero in the martial arts record of "Zhige Famous Spectrum", but I didn't expect to see him alive today, in Xia Yuan Youming, he is my master's disciple" Youming was happy and said incoherently.
"Well, hello Brother Youming, just call me Brother Ouyang," Ouyang Yucheng said with a smile.
"Yes, good" Youming nodded.
"Ming'er, Ouyang Gang Leader is injured, help him to recuperate in our Lingxi Valley for a while," Li Xian said.
Ouyang Yucheng looked at Yi Dan, Yi Dan also looked at him and nodded at him, so Ouyang Yucheng said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."
At this time, Yi Dan walked forward silently, and You Ming hurriedly ran up and asked, "Senior sister, did you have a good time going to Youzhou this time?" I didn't expect you to invite Ouyang Gang Leader to Lingxi Valley, there must have been a lot of wonderful things happening, right?"
Yi Dan ignored anyone and walked straight forward. Miao Qiuyu found that the situation was not quite right, Yi Dan was a lively and clever ghost in the past, why did she come back this time and be silent? So she stepped forward and asked Yi Dan, "Dan'er, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, she's probably a little frightened, just rest for a few days, it shouldn't be a big deal," Rihyun, who walked behind, explained.
"How could you be frightened, what happened?" Miao Qiuyu asked.
"Hey, it's hard to say, let's go back to the valley first," Rixian replied.
Yi Dan returned to the Qing Xiuju, and Ouyang Yucheng was arranged to Lixian's Shangxu Ju. Yi Dan locked herself in the room alone, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the pictures and sounds that appeared in her mind must have many ulterior secrets, but she didn't dare to ask Master, nor did she dare to ask Master, although she was smart and weird, but on the contrary, she would think crankily, and she even suspected in her heart that Master's Master and Lady had left the Dangshan Sect to cultivate and live in seclusion in this Lingxi Valley were related to these pictures in her mind. At this time, she was suffering and couldn't speak, but she had to think wildly, couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and was about to become a person with severe paranoia.
The next day, she went to Shangxuju to find Ouyang Yucheng, and the two came to the old persimmon tree at the mouth of the valley together, at this time in the middle of May, the persimmons on the tree have been hung with green fruits, Yi Dan was under the persimmon tree, and chatted with Ouyang Yucheng: "Brother Ouyang, have you grown up with your parents since you were a child?"
"Why are you asking this?" asked Ouyang Yucheng.
"Did you answer me?" asked Yi Dan urgently.
Ouyang Yucheng's expression sank and said: "I was adopted by Tingfeng Hall since I was a child, and it was the hall master and the elders who raised me. It was the bishop of the hall who taught me martial arts and taught me to be a man, and I benefited all my life, but unfortunately I was poisoned by He Rang, I really hated that I didn't have the ability to kill He Rang and avenge the hall master, but I was careless and underestimated the enemy, and made myself like this."
Yi Dan asked, "Then what would you do if this person who had nurturing grace for you had something to do with the death of your parents?"
"I can't say that, the hall master is so good to me, how can it have anything to do with the death of my parents?" Ouyang Yu replied.
"I mean, what would you do if there was such a possibility?" Yi Dan asked.
"I can't have such an assumption, if I really have any doubts in my heart, I can ask him directly, I can't guess" Ouyang Yucheng reminded Yi Dan.
"Okay, I see, thank you for telling me this" Yi Dan replied with a slight nod.
"Lixian hero, clear grievances, righteous Bo Yuntian, is a famous chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, he will not be the one who killed your parents, you must not be suspicious of him" Ouyang Yucheng guessed Yi Dan's thoughts, so he persuaded him.
But every time I asked him about the death of my parents, he always flickered and prevaricated me with perfunctory words, and I always felt as if he was deliberately hiding something from me. Yi Dan said suspiciously.
"Maybe he has his own troubles, but you can test it from Senior Miao, she is your master, and she doesn't seem to live with your master, I guess I should be able to find some clues from her, maybe" Ouyang Yucheng suggested.
"Okay, thank you Brother Ouyang, I will definitely find an opportunity to ask my sister clearly"
For the next few days, Yi Dan still locked himself in the house and did not come out. The cruel images and desperate cries that pierced her heart always came to her mind, as well as the unknown little girl and the man who was devoured by vicious dogs, although she could never remember who they were, but the words they said kept echoing in Yi Dan's ears. She sat in her room and thought about the images over and over again.
Miao Qiuyu noticed that Yi Dan hadn't gone out for a few days, so he entered the room and asked, "Dan'er, why haven't you practiced swords in the past few days?" Are you still thinking about that Elder Mao? Hey, I know that you are a child with deep affection, but people can't be resurrected after death, and those who are dead and alive should be relieved."
"Relieved, how can you let go? Seeing a person being torn apart and devoured alive by a fierce beast, but he can't do anything, Master, how can you tell me not to think about it?"
"But those things have happened, you can't change the outcome, even for the sake of the deceased, you have to cherish yourself, they don't want to see you live in such pain, right?" Miao Qiuyu advised.
"Elder Mao's death, although I don't want to accept it, I finally know clearly how he died. And the death of my parents, I have never known what happened, Master, can you tell me, how did my parents die? Did they die by someone?" Yi Dan asked Miao Qiuyu.
"Why did you suddenly mention this?" Miao Qiuyu asked rhetorically.
"You don't want to tell me, don't you?" Yi Dan said with some grumbling.
"Did you remember something?" Miao Qiuyu asked.
"So, Master, you know the truth, don't you? Then please tell me, tell me, Master. Yi Dan asked again and again.
"Dan'er, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but we think it's for your good, or don't let you know," Miao Qiuyu said.
"For my good, if it's for my good, you should tell me the truth, let me know the truth, and solve the doubts in my heart for my good, Shiniang, I beg you, please hurry up and tell me about my father's mother, I'm so old, I have the right to know their affairs, no matter what the matter is, I can bear it, I beg you, Shiniang" Yi Dan begged.
"This matter is very important, I want to discuss it with your master, okay?" Miao Qiuyu said.
"Master, he didn't mean to tell me the truth at all, you don't want to tell me, right, hmph, I understand, who else knows about this matter? Oh yes, that Uncle Li, he should know, right? He lives in Qingfeng Mountain, right? I'll go to him and ask him to understand."
With that, Yi Dan rushed out of the house, ran out of the Qing Xiu Residence, took out a horse in the stable behind the side of the house, mounted the horse, and galloped out quickly towards the mouth of the Lingxi Valley.
At this time, Youming held a copy of the Book of Han and walked over from the wooden bridge of the creek. Halfway through, I saw Yi Dan hurriedly riding his horse and galloping out of the valley. So he asked loudly, "Senior sister, where are you going in such a hurry?"
Miao Qiuyu ran out of the house and shouted loudly: "Dan'er, Dan'er, listen to me, come back soon..."
"Senior Sister, what's wrong with her? Didn't she just come back from Youzhou? Could it be that she is going to participate in the martial arts conference again?"
"Don't ask, what about your master?" Miao Qiuyu said.
"Oh, Master is healing Brother Ouyang's luck," Youming replied.
"Hey, then forget it, Ming'er, you hurry up and ride your horse now to chase your senior sister, she went to Qingfeng Mountain to find your senior uncle, you go and take care of her, don't anything happen, otherwise I'll ask you, did you hear?" Miao Qiuyu instructed Youming with a commanding tone.
"Well, okay senior sister, I'm going to chase after senior sister, don't worry" With that, Youming put down the book in his hand and ran to the stables to pull out a white horse. He mounted his horse, staggered a few times, and ran towards the valley mouth. Miao Qiuyu stood in the pavilion and shouted, "Be careful... Come back soon."
"Got it, Master" Youming responded as he ran after him.
