At the entrance of the village, Xiaoyu's home.
The scattered branches of the bamboo forest are covered with light snow, and next to it is a small courtyard made of four or five thatched houses.
In the house, Xiaoyu waved a spoon on the stove, preparing several plates of delicious food for the evening. In front of the stove, Yu Liufei broke off the firewood and sent it to the stove. There was a lot of black charcoal on his face. The two of them were cooking with sacred fire. Work, not in a bad mood, smiling.
Not long after, there were several dishes of side dishes on the table.
A plate of crispy peanuts, a plate of duck roasted with old wine, a bowl of stir-fried liver and kidneys, a simmered goose, and a plate of clear soup with side dishes and leaves.
Two jars of Hejiacun old wine brewed in the village, and four pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
There are four people, one is Xiao Yu, one is Yu Liufei, one is the old man Li Changgeng who raised Xiao Yu, and the other is the master Yuan Gu who brought Xiao Yu and the old man to settle down in Hejiacun - Yuan San.
As the New Year approaches, every household in Hejia Village is decorated with lanterns, either with red lanterns hanging on the door or with green bamboos piled up to be burned.
As usual, Xiaoyu followed the trend and bought two red lanterns and threw them in the corner. After dinner, she went to set up a wooden ladder to hang them up.
During the banquet.
Xiaoyu and the two old guys shared a lot of meat and vegetables, and also told Yu Liufei to eat enough.
The old man also muttered to one side: "Xiao Yu, right? Eat more, don't be hungry. When we get here, if you don't say anything else, just eat to satisfy yourself."
Yu Liufei nodded, burped, touched his belly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Li. In this industry, I traveled with Xiao Yu in the world, and I am obviously a fattener. Look at my body, I am afraid that I am not as good as when I go out." It was a lot more expensive when I was there.”
The old man smiled and said: "Only when you are fat can you have the strength to travel in the world. Our Xiaoyu is not sensible, so we still expect you to take care of him."
Yu Liufei smiled and replied: "Xiaoyu was taking care of me all the way. I have the ability to take care of Xiaoyu. Fortunately, Xiaoyu is smart."
Xiaoyu took the wine bowl and said to several people: "Don't be polite, you grinder, come, drink and eat meat!!"
The old man and Yuan San both knew the stakes of Xiao Yuji Ruge's identity, so naturally they couldn't mention it. During the dinner, several people drank to their heart's content and just thought that Xiao Yu had become a powerful chess mad master. They didn't mention anything else.
According to the habit of previous years, the old man and Yuan San would always check out the progress of Xiaoyu's bone-shaping disguise technique and the Eighteen Styles of Broken Sword. This year, there was an extra Yu Liufei. I won't mention it, so they all passed it off while drinking and talking. .
After the meal, the old man moved a reclining chair and sat under the eaves, watching the beautiful dusk in the village. Yuan San did the same, the two of them sat under the eaves, watching Xiao Yu and Yu Liufei hanging red lanterns.
Yu Liufei prepared a light skill to jump up to the roof and hung up the red lanterns. Xiaoyu shouted hurriedly: "Brother Yu, there is no need to go up. Let's move the ladder. Hanging the lanterns with effort will make the atmosphere of the New Year less festive. You can hold the ladder while I do this." Just go up and hang up.”
When Yu Liufei heard this, he nodded and replied: "You are the one who is more thoughtful, and I am more reckless."
The two of them hung up the lanterns with a smile, and then one of them brought out a jug of wine and sat next to the two old guys. While drinking to keep away the cold, they talked about interesting things about walking in the world this year.
After a good night's sleep, a few people went to the town the next day to buy good wine and food to prepare for the New Year.
We spent a few days in peace and quiet, and after the New Year passed, it was the second or third day of the Lunar New Year.
Xiaoyu estimated the time, and found that it would be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in ten days, which was the day when the seventh floor of Muyun Mountain was opened. Several of his tasks in Jiangnan had not been returned yet, and he was planning to spend two or three years. The food, clothing, and money are still in Uncle Liu's hands. Without the money, he will have to live in the village for several years unless he begs for food.
go.
Privately, he told the old man and Yuan San that they would help keep Yu Liufei here for a while while he went to Muyun Mountain alone.
It was the third day of the first lunar month, and the sky was clear.
Xiaoyu said to Yuan San, who was about to take Yu Liufei to watch the lively monkey show on the street: "Master, old man, brother Yu, I won't go with you today. I have to go out to visit an old friend and it will take some time before I can come back. "
The old man and Yuan San knew that he was going to Muyun Mountain, so they understood it and did not stop him.
The old man warned from the side: "It's snowy this way, come back early."
Xiaoyu replied: "I know, don't worry. By the way, Brother Yu, just stay here for a while and wait for me to come back."
Hearing this, Yu Liufei looked at Xiao Yu packing her luggage and said, "Are you going on a long trip?"
Xiaoyu nodded and replied: "Yes, I want to go on a long trip to visit an old friend."
Yu Liufei asked: "A long trip? Do you need me to accompany you? It would be nice to have someone to take care of you on the way. Brother, I don't have anything else. This brute force is okay."
Xiao Yu replied: "Brother Yu, just stay with the old man and master in our Hejia Village for a while. My old friend doesn't like to see outsiders, so I'm going to go there right now and I'll be back in a few days."
When Yu Liufei heard this, he had no choice but to reply: "Then, be careful along the way."
Xiao Yu nodded, said goodbye to everyone, and led the horse north.
There is a place for horses to walk in the sky above the snow, and a man reins up his horse to cross Turtle Mountain.
It was only a day and a half journey, and he stayed for one night on the way. Xiaoyu had a small amount of money left on him, which was no longer enough to sustain his life for the past few days.
A few dozen miles away was the boundary of Muyun Mountain, and Xiao Yu hurried on.
Muyun Mountain is located at the junction of the Northern Territory and the Huns. The south is the border of the Central Plains, the north is the border of the Xiongnu, and the northeast is the border of the Xianbei Xia Kingdom.
It is a meeting place,
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is the next page^0^ The military control on the border is not strict, and the most important thing is that the security is extremely chaotic.
This day is already the eighth day of the first lunar month.
After half a day's journey, we arrived at the foot of Muyun Mountain, still half a day's journey from Sanli Town in Muyun Mountain.
Xiao Yu continued to ride horseback through the snow-covered forest. This trip was not to kill people. Xiao Yu did not bring his own bamboo pole, that is, he did not bring his own Nirvana Sword, but brought an ordinary long sword with him.
When passing a mountain col, I met two guys blocking the road.
Two of them were tall and dark-faced. One held an axe, and the other held a broadsword.
There were two guys who were blocking the road and looting. One was called Zhao Zhuang and the other was Qin Fang. These two were scattered bandits in the south ridge of Muyun Mountain and they liked to block the road to seek wealth.
Zhao Zhuang made a horizontal stroke with his axe, which made Xiao Yu rein in his horse and stop.
One of the horses neighed, and Xiao Yu reined in his horse. Seeing that the two of them were not good-natured people, before he could speak, he heard Zhao Zhuang scolding him: "I drive this road. If you leave the money to buy the road, we will let you pass."
Xiaoyu frowned, touched the few coins left in his arms, and frowned, "What are you doing? Robbery?"
Qin Fang waved the big knife in his hand twice, frowned and said: "What? Doesn't it look good? Boy, just keep your money and horse, and we will let you pass."
Xiao Yu jumped off the horse, picked up the sword stuck on the saddle, and thought to himself: It's rare that I don't have any money on me, so why not, hey, look at the weather, these two guys must have been guarding the road for half a day, and they should have You've already robbed passers-by a lot of money, so why not rob them?
Xiaoyu walked up with a smile and said to the two of them: "Two eldest brothers? Have you been guarding this road for half a day?"
When Zhao Zhuang heard this, he cursed: "It's none of your business. Just take the money and keep the horse, and get out! Otherwise, sir, the ax in my hand won't have eyes."
Xiao Yu pulled out the long sword in his hand, and the two people on the opposite side stepped back in fright. The weapons in their hands were drawn towards Xiao Yu.
"Brother, this kid has a sword in his hand, can he beat him?" Qin Fang looked a little scared.
Zhao Zhuang scolded: "The two of us are afraid of beating him! Isn't he just a weak persimmon with a sword!"
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
