The horses' hooves walked along the mountain road paved with stones. There were withered yellow weeds on both sides of the road.
On both sides, there are cliffs towering into the clouds, like two palms that are about to come together.
The cliffs are bare and jagged with strange rocks.
At the narrowest place, when you raise your head, the sky above your head becomes a line.
"The landscapes in the north and south are different, which is a bit interesting." Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips.
"The world is a big place with many wonders. One day in the future, when we don't have to work so hard, how about I take you to travel around the world?"
She sat upright on the horse and looked at him sideways.
The wind in the canyon lifted her hair, her clothes fluttered, and her appearance was beautiful.
His eyes widened.
Longing is revealed in my heart.
"Seriously" he asked.
She raised her eyebrows: "How could I deceive you?"
"Our first stop will be here outside Yanmen Pass to herd horses and sheep. Okay?" she asked again.
He nodded vigorously: "It's a deal."
Ahead, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing.
The two men quickly reined in the reins.
Luo Fengtang frowned: "What's going on?"
Yang Ruoqing raised her ears, then pointed ahead: "There's a fight ahead."
"I heard from Uncle Yan that horse thieves are infested in this area. Could it be that the horse thieves looted the passing merchants," she said.
When mentioning horse thieves, the word cruelty comes to mind.
These people are not horse thieves in the literal sense.
But some bandits on horseback.
According to Yan Huaian, these people come and go in a hurry, and no one knows where their den is.
They put on black clothes and covered their faces with black scarves, and they were the murderers who committed murder and looting.
And when they take off their black clothes and black faces, they may be honest people again.
They are cunning, vicious, and vengeful.
He once committed massacre of a village.
If you can do your best not to provoke them, don’t provoke them.
"What should we do? Let's go," Yang Ruoqing suggested.
Luo Fengtang frowned, showing some hesitation.
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the front.
"Help"
They both tightened at the same time.
"Is it that woman in the teahouse?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage rushed over from the other side of the canyon.
&>
; It turned out to be the one parked in front of the tea house earlier.
Behind the carriage, the group of people brought by the woman were fighting with a group of people dressed in black and riding horses.
"Qing'er, wait for me here, don't come over."
Luo Fengtang confessed in a deep voice, clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rushed forward.
A man who seemed to be the leader of this group of horse thieves rushed towards the carriage with great speed.
The long knife in his hand was about to be stabbed into the carriage.
At this moment, there was a sudden neighing of a horse.
Immediately afterwards, a horse suddenly lifted its entire forelimb into the air, almost standing upright.
A figure jumped up from the horse.
Like a roc bird with spread wings, it comes with strong wind.
"Papa pa pa"
The riding crop in his hand was whipped out, twisting and tearing the air, making a beeping sound.
Then, he whipped the leader of the horse thieves hard on the body.
It knocked him to the ground and rolled him a long way.
Luo Fengtang landed on the step of the carriage.
He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes met the frightened eyes of the woman in the carriage.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" he asked.
The moment the lady in the carriage saw Luo Fengtang, her pupils shrank violently.
The whole person was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
Luo Fengtang didn't have time to ask more questions. He jumped down and chased the leader of the horse thieves.
With another whip, he snatched the long knife from the leader's hand and threw it several meters away.
The leader panicked and went to pick it up, but the next whip was coming.
The leader's arm was slapped to the point where the skin was torn open.
The eyes exposed outside the black scarf were filled with fear, and the leader whistled.
Not far away, his horse galloped over with its hooves, and he got on the horse.
"withdraw"
The horse thief fled in despair and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The madam's men wanted to pursue them, but she stopped them.
"No need to chase, you can't catch me if you chase me," she said.
He ordered his men to stay where they were and to apply medicine to each other's injuries.
She herself walked over to Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.
The woman's eyes fell directly on Luo Fengtang.
"Young man, thank you so much for saving my life."
The woman was about to salute Luo Fengtang, but Luo Fengtang held her back.
"You're welcome, madam. It's us who should say thank you."
Luo Fengtang said.
He looked
Yang Ruoqing, who was standing next to her, continued:
"Earlier in the tea house, we were favored by Madam, but we didn't even have time to say thank you."
The woman was startled when she heard this.
A faint smile appeared on Huimei's face.
"Compared with this life-saving grace, my few pennies for tea are nothing," she said.
Luo Fengtang grinned.
He had no experience in talking to women. After saying this, he didn't know how to continue the conversation.
But it’s okay, isn’t there still the lark Yang Ruoqing?
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said to the woman: "Madam, are you going to go through the Baiman Grand Canyon?"
The woman had been looking at Luo Fengtang.
The look in his eyes was unpredictable.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, she noticed that there was a young girl beside this young man.
Madam's eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing.
She smiled gently and said, "No, we don't go through this canyon, but we are just here to do something."
"Oh" Yang Ruoqing nodded lightly.
"Do you dare to ask Madam if the matter is finished?" she asked again.
The woman shook her head: "We just arrived here when we encountered a horse thief."
Yang Ruoqing said: "We happen to be going in too. If the woman finds it convenient, we can go together so that we can have someone to look after us on the way. What do you think, madam?"
The woman did not respond immediately, but looked at Luo Fengtang again.
At first glance, she had an illusion.
It’s like turning back twenty years in time
But now that she looked closely, her facial features and eyebrows were somewhat similar to the person in her memory.
But there is still something different.
Are there really such similar people in the world?
The woman smiled lightly: "Okay, then we will go in together."
The woman ordered two of her men to follow her at a short distance.
She herself carried a double-layered wooden box and walked deep into the canyon with Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.
"Young man, you saved my life, and I haven't asked you for your surname yet."
On the way, the woman smiled and took the initiative to chat with Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang scratched his head.
"My surname is Luo, and my name is Fengtang." He said.
"Luo Fengtang"
The woman pondered the name.
The begonia flowers in the wind are beautiful, elegant, yet heroic and domineering.
Good name.
