The old man looked at Xiaoyu suspiciously and frowned. There were two young people, a little girl, and three old people. The one who played the erhu was hanging on his erhu, the one who was carrying the pole was carrying a pole, and the one who was fishing was carrying a fishing rod. Only the one holding the little boy The guy riding the horse with the girl had two long swords on the side of his saddle. This person did not look like a juggler, but more like a troupe of jugglers who walked around the streets and alleys.
He thought for a while and then said to Xiao Yu: "Young man, I look down on you if you are not an old man. You and your group, that is, the man with two swords, is more like a juggling troupe. My son and my brothers are both Those of you who learned true skills from Xuantian, you should listen to my advice, old man, and don’t take that path."
Xiao Yu chuckled and said: "Uncle, just don't worry. The most unsightly thing in my life is that I, Brother Yu, am a guy who blocks roads, kills people and steals goods. Countless robbers have died at his hands. To be honest, we are learning from a world-famous chess maniac. Feng Yi - Mr. Feng! When traveling around the world, Master has told him to take it as his own duty to eliminate injustices in the world. We will definitely help you teach your son a lesson."
Xiao Yu deliberately reported the name of Master as a chess madman, knowing that this notorious master likes these false names. If the troubles on this road are really eliminated, and the uncle's son can change his ways, then the uncle will spread this reputation to the master. He got up naturally, which made him happy.
Xiao Yu then clasped her fists at the old man and thanked him, "Thank you uncle for showing me the way. Goodbye." He turned around and left, jumped on his horse, and the group of people reined in their horses and drove away.
The old man farming was thinking about Xiao Yu's words. Countless robbers died under his hands. This sentence was particularly important. As for their master, it didn't matter who was a crazy chess player. If these people were really capable , wouldn’t it be easy for his son and brother to become the souls killed by their swords? This is not okay. No matter how angry you are with your son, you can’t let him risk his life.
The farmer thought so, but didn't notice Xiao Yu's departure until he came to his senses and saw a group of people riding away, "Hey... you met my son, you still hope to be merciful... let him stay" One life!"
After the old man shouted into the distance, he felt a little worried and regretful. If this group of people really had no ability and just boasted, then their lives would be in danger. Hey, he should have stopped them. .
Not far away, Xiaoyu heard the old man's shouting and replied: "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely let your son come back and farm with you!"
When the old man heard this, he was worried about his son and Xiaoyu and his party. He was really at a loss.
He dug in the ground for a while, and he was really worried. In the past, the merchants who passed by had listened to the advice and either changed their route or went over the mountain. However, this group of people did not listen to the advice and insisted on going to Tongzi Forest. He was really worried. He simply threw the hoe and ran up the horse path, hoping to stop them in time when they started fighting.
No matter how fast he walked, he could never catch up with the horseman. The old man was kicking and squealing while running. Looking up, he saw that their horseback figures had long disappeared in the distance, as if they were already far away.
The winding mountain road is sometimes close to the Mingshui River, sometimes in the mountain depression.
When the group approached the Mingshui River, they found that the Mingshui River was close to the foot of Lanyan Mountain. The reason why boats could not be sailed was simple. The river was winding with many steep waterfalls, and some places were shoals or rugged areas. The rocks are so dense that there is no way for a boat to cross.
The sun is gradually rising in the sky. It is the turn of spring and the beginning of summer. It is not exposed to the sun and is very warm.
A few people walked from the gravel horse path to the bottom of a forest, where they had some shade.
Uncle Liu looked at his donkey, and then at the location. It was at the mouth of a cliff, next to the gurgling river, with green poplars and weeping willows on both sides. It was very quiet and elegant. Under the big banyan tree here, there are several engraved rocks, the size of a car cover, suitable for resting. As you go up the mountain, there is another slope with green grass, suitable for donkeys and horses to eat close by.
It was a good place for a lunch break. They had been on the road for nearly two hours and it was time to take a rest.
Uncle Liu stopped everyone and said, "The environment here is good. Everyone, please eat some dry food, drink some wine, and rest for a while. It's not too late to continue on your way."
When Yu Liufei heard this, he immediately got off his horse and hugged Xiao Xiao down smoothly.
Lame old Xu also praised repeatedly that the environment here is good and suitable for rest.
Xiao Yu then reined in the horse and stopped, tying the horse's handle to the trunk of a coniferous pine tree as thick as an arm on one side, next to theirs, and letting the horses eat the grass on their own.
They each found a suitable stone to sit on.
Uncle Liu leaned against a rock near the river and looked at the river flowing under the shade of the trees. However, the river was fast and he could not place bait. He had no choice but to shake his head, took off the wine gourd from his waist, and drank two sips to quench his thirst.
Xiao Xiao was sitting next to Yu Liufei on one side, Xiao Yu was sitting on the other side of Yu Liufei, and lame old Xu and Jiang Yu were sitting on a round rock under the big banyan tree opposite.
Lame old Xu took off the cloth bag from his waist, which contained a dozen cooking cakes bought at the entrance of Mingshui Town, and handed them over one by one.
As for the water bags, they took them from the ones hung on their saddles, and either wine or water depended on their preference.
There were two water bags hung on Yu Liufei's saddle, one of which contained wine and the other contained water for Xiao Xiao.
Xiaoyu didn't like drinking, so the water bag was filled with water. As for the other people, they all asked the second brother to fill up with wine before leaving the inn.
Xiao Xiao glanced at the cooking cakes in everyone's hands, and subconsciously looked at his own cloth parcel on Brother Yu's saddle. He asked the inn's waiter for the parcel. As for the parcel money, before leaving, Uncle Liu had already asked for it. and settled.
She originally wanted to take out the steamed buns she had saved for everyone to eat, but now she had cooking cakes, so she didn't need her own food reserves. He looked at Uncle Liu and remembered what Brother Xiaoyu said, Uncle Liu was their The God of Wealth in the palace is not short of money. As long as he pleases Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu can give him a lot of money. At least he won't have to worry about food and clothing.
She looked at the cooking cakes in her hand again, shrugged, and had no intention of deliberately trying to please Uncle Liu. After all, the steamed buns she had stored were enough to support him to the next state. When he got to her uncle's house, he wouldn't have to go through this. The days of wandering.
Yu Liufei took a few sips of wine, raised his sleeve and wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, looked at Uncle Liu, then at Mr. Jiang, and finally focused on the lame old Xu who had a cane by his hand.
Lame old Xu looked at the way Yu Liufei looked at him, his eyes were shining, as if he saw a piece of meat that could satisfy his hunger, and he almost had tears running down the corners of his mouth. Lame old Xu was a little uncomfortable being looked at by a strong young man like this.
"Xiao Yu, what do you think I'm doing?" Lame Old Xu frowned.
Yu Liufei's eyebrows were beaming, thinking that Mr. Xu, you finally spoke, otherwise I wouldn't know how to speak. Yu Liufei hurriedly replied: "Uncle Xu, can you come for a while? Let's talk about the day after the swordsman killed the Lord of Guhuang City. The swordsman went south and encountered a severe flood in Xingzhou in the south. The people were in dire straits. The emperor allocated funds for disaster relief, but half of it was embezzled by the prime minister. Later, the swordsman went boating on the river to intercept and kill the prime minister. What was the result? Can't your old man and your family continue to talk for a while? "
Yu Liufei stood up with a smile, walked to the lame old Xu with small steps, squatted on his left side, stretched out his hands to help him rub his legs, and looked at the crippled old Xu sincerely.
