The old woman said pitifully, Nianhua also sighed, comforted the old woman a few words, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and said, "Old woman, it's so late, we won't bother you, you can rest early." After speaking, he and Duan Yuntu walked out of the courtyard.

The two of them left the courtyard and walked along the way they had come to the city. After walking for a while, Nianhua said, "Hey, big thief, why don't you speak? What are you thinking?"

Nianhua shouted twice in a row, and Duan Yuntu reacted and said: "The girl is a big lewd thief, it's really insulting to Sven, a girl's family, don't you know how to be ashamed?"

Nian Hua said: "What kind of insult is Sven? When did you become a Sven person? Besides, you are a big thief, you are not ashamed, what am I ashamed of?"

Duan Yuntu knew that this girl was powerful, so he said: "Okay, okay, I don't fight with you, you can call it whatever you like." ”

Nianhua smiled proudly: "Then tell me, what were you thinking just now? Thinking so engrossedly, I asked you twice before you agreed to me." ”

Duan Yuntu muttered, "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter?"

Nianhua asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Duan Yuntu shook his head and said, "This, I can't say clearly for a while, I just have such a feeling." ”

Nianhua pursed his lips and said, "Pretend to be mysterious, I think your nerves are not quite right." ”

Duan Yuntu said: "I think the girl has just entered the rivers and lakes, right? Have you ever wondered why the three ghosts of eastern Yunnan came all the way here to harm an old woman and a child? And they were so cautious, as if they were facing a great enemy? Why did the old woman and the child refuse to show up after we tossed around outside for so long? Also, the girl acted so recklessly and carelessly, and she still wanted to be a chivalrous man, wandering the rivers and lakes, and doing chivalrous deeds? I think it is safer to go home and stay safe. ”

Duan Yuntu saw that Nianhua was acting recklessly, afraid that she would suffer losses in the future, and the rivers and lakes would be dangerous, Duan Yuntu hoped that Nianhua could better protect himself in the future. I was angry that this girl was talking about him everywhere, so I made this remark a little heavier, and wanted her to remember it for a long time.

These words were very useless to Nianhua's ears, she frowned, and said very unconvinced: "Who said that I was careless and reckless? I am called a bold personality, do you understand? And I already felt that this matter was a little strange, so I just used the excuse of drinking water and went into the courtyard to check it." You think I'm just like you, I'm just going to be a big thief!"

Duan Yuntu hugged his fists and smiled: "It turns out that the heroine is a heroine who is both wise and brave, so in this way, she is losing her words." ”

Nianhua raised his head, snorted, stretched his waist and said, "After tossing all night, this girl is tired, I want to go back to sleep." After saying that, he strode towards the city without looking back.

After Nianhua left, Duan Yuntu stood outside the city for a while. At this time, the sky had gradually brightened, but Duan Yuntu was not sleepy. He did not enter the city, but turned and walked towards the mountains.

He came to Cangshan Heyun Peak, in front of the thatched hut where Ding Cheng lived. There was no snow in front of the house, and in its place was a patch of green grass and flowers.

Duan Yuntu stood outside the courtyard and asked in a loud voice, "Ding Cheng, Ding Bo, are you here?"

An old man slowly walked out of the hut, stood at the door and looked at Duan Yuntu for a while, and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Duan Yuntu took a few steps forward, walked up to the old man and said, "Ding Bo, you don't recognize me? I'm Duan Yuntu." ”

Ding Bo looked at Duan Yuntu's face carefully, and then he recognized it, and said excitedly: "It turned out to be Young Master Duan! I'm so confused, I can't even recognize Young Master Duan." Please sit down in the room, and I'll make you tea. ”

Duan Yuntu hurriedly said: "Ding Bo, you don't have to be busy, I'm not thirsty." You're seventy years old, aren't you? I see that your waist is straight and strong, and you really don't look old at all. ”

Ding Bo laughed twice and said, "Young Master Duan is comforting me, in fact, I am really old, and my body is not as good as before." ”

Duan Yuntu glanced around the room and asked, "Ding Bo, where is Ding Cheng?"

Ding Bo said: "On the day of the accident in your family, the young master went down the mountain and has not come back until today. I wanted to go down the mountain several times to look for it, but I was too old to use it, and I didn't know where to look for it, so I had to stay on the mountain and wait. ”

Duan Yuntu nodded and said, "I haven't heard that Ding Cheng had an accident at the bottom of the mountain, so he must have found a divine clue and pursued it." I'll go down the hill and look for him, and see if I can find any trace of him. ”

Ding Bo said: "Young Master Duan, you have good martial arts and enough experience, if you find the young master, you must help him more." ”

The two talked again, and Duan Yuntu got up and went down the mountain. Ding Bo sent Duan Yuntu outside the courtyard and said, "By the way, Young Master Duan, Young Master Yang Hua has been recuperating from my injuries for a while, and he just left a few days ago. You can go find him first. ”

Duan Yuntu nodded. To his relief, Ding Cheng and Yang Hua are still safe and sound. He believes that the brothers will be able to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, find out the truth, and avenge their father.

Duan Yuntu walked down the mountain from Heyun Peak, passed a mountain, and looked into the distance, the scenery of Dali City and Erhai Lake was in full view. Under the light of the spring sun, there is peace inside and outside the city.

Suddenly, Duan Yuntu heard a long chirp of "chirp-", looked up, and saw a goshawk hovering with its wings spread overhead. The goshawk spread out its wings, wide and long, and very majestic.

The goshawk circled a few times, and then suddenly swooped down and plunged headlong into a valley.

Duan Yuntu remembered that he had also raised a goshawk before he left home, but it looked a little smaller than this one. At that time, he often took his goshawk to the mountains to hunt. The goshawk stood on his shoulder, very tame.

But while hunting, his goshawk flew high and far. The so-called standing high is to see far away, the goshawk hovers high in the sky, a pair of sharp eyes staring at the ground. Not a single mouse or a hare on the ground could escape its eyes.

Whenever his goshawk spotted its prey, it swooped down, moving as fast as lightning. The moment it pounced on the ground, it firmly grasped its prey with its hook-like claws. Small as a hare, and as large as a fawn, they were once its prey.

Later, when Duan Yuntu left home, he gave his goshawk to Yang Hua for domestication.
