It's late afternoon.
When the sunset is still there, the afterglow falls into the distance.
In the bright green mountains, geese and ducks are flying together, the courtyard is fragrant, and the flowers have faded in spring.
On the attic of the inn, facing the window of the east city gate, two people carried a table and each had a reclining chair. There were small pieces of melon seeds, peanuts, etc. on the table. The big one and the small one were eating melon seeds, just like that. Guarding the east city gate, waiting for the arrival of Li Zong and his party.
Xiao Yu estimated that if Li Zong and his party set out from Lushan Mountain to participate in the Qingming Sword Festival, they would arrive in Tuanyang City today or tomorrow. After all, the tips given by the old Chinese medicine sage are life-saving things in Luoluo Sect, and they cannot be careless.
For an afternoon, Zhang Jun lay on the window sill and stared at the city gate in the distance, putting one or two melon seeds in his mouth from time to time, while Xiaoyu lay on the armchair, facing the window, squinting his eyes, observing the progress. city people.
Zhang Jun followed Xiaoyu all the way for so many days. Seeing that Xiaoyu was very capable, he spent the entire afternoon asking Xiaoyu to tell him stories about the world.
Xiao Yu simply recalled a few paragraphs of the days when she was a child and begged for food from the old man, and told the story to the little fat man, who looked envious when he heard it.
"I have been locked up in the courtyard with my parents since I was a child. If it weren't for Aunt Shen, I probably wouldn't have left the town yet." Zhang Jun muttered, "Brother Xiaoyu, do you think I can become your disciple?" You take me to travel around the world, and I want to learn from you to be a hero."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu was stunned, stood up, looked at the little fat man, and cursed: "What are you thinking, you are too fat, not suitable!"
"Then shall I lose weight?" Zhang Jun turned around and muttered.
Xiaoyu saw this and said hurriedly: "You kid, don't turn your head, look carefully."
"Look, no one with a sword enters the city!" Zhang Jun continued, "How about it, Brother Xiaoyu, I will accept you as my teacher, you teach me martial arts, and then we go back and see my parents, and I will walk around the world with you. go."
"Little brat, I'm telling you about the old man and I traveling around the world. Didn't you hear clearly how hard we went when we were begging? You all listened to me and just sorted out the trivial matters of those thieves. You want me to be your teacher. "Don't even think about it, just go back and inherit the family business, don't mess around." Xiaoyu stood up, moved Zhang Jun's chubby face a few times, and cursed in his mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't mess with me, brother Xiaoyu, someone is coming!" Zhang Jun pulled Xiaoyu's hand away and hurriedly muttered, "Really, a group of people with swords at their waists! A group of people!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly stood up and stared at the group of people who had just been let in by the officers and soldiers at the gate of the east city.
Wearing a uniform yellow shirt with a sword on his waist, the leader is the leader of Li Zong, Li Bei, followed by two young men, a man and a woman, the male is Li Kun, the female is Li Luo, and to the side is Li Zong Shoujian. There are three elders, the eldest elder Ruan Zhong, the second elder Li Jun, and the third elder Li Zhiyun. As for the others, they are the juniors from the Li clan.
"Let's go, let's go down quickly." Xiaoyu stood up immediately, threw the fruit plate in his hand on the table, turned around and ran down.
Zhang Jun looked even more excited than Xiao Yu, feeling like he was about to see a master from outside the world, so he was so excited that he followed him out.
Xiaoyu ran in front, and little fat man Zhang Jun followed behind. The two of them walked towards the city gate one after the other.
Li Luo had already seen the slightly thin figure. He was so excited that he didn't care that his father and several elders were still around. He waved his hand and shouted to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, here, here!"
Xiaoyu smiled knowingly, ran over and stood still.
"Luoluo, don't be rude!" Li Kun saw his sister burst into laughter, and regardless of whether others were there or not, a big girl shouted nonsense on the road and scolded her hurriedly.
Li Luo pouted playfully at her brother, then made a face and muttered, "Yes, yes, my brother has more rules."
Of course, Xiaoyu was delighted to see this innocent girl, but he and she were not related, and no matter how happy they were after meeting her, they couldn't go out of their way.
Xiao Yu rushed forward, stood still, took a breath, and then clasped her fists at Li Bei and said, "I've met Uncle Li, and I've met you all. Fortunately, I'm waiting for you here."
"Oh!" Li Bei said in surprise.
, "I wonder why Brother Xiaoyu is waiting for us here?"
"Brother Xiaoyu." Zhang Jun had already followed up, holding Xiaoyu's arm with one hand, panting heavily. He was very tired from running all this time.
Xiaoyu glanced at him and muttered: "Don't talk too much, we have serious matters to discuss."
"Okay." Zhang Jun nodded and stood beside Xiao Yu to catch his breath.
"Uncle Li, you have just entered the city. Have you had your dinner?" Xiaoyu saw that it was getting late, so he might as well move to the inn to have dinner and discuss it together.
When Li Bei and Wei Changyin sought medical advice from Feng Huating, they were helped by Xiao Yu. Li Bei naturally favored Xiao Yu. In addition, he had a wealth of skills at a young age. When he and Luo Luo were in trouble behind Mo Yun Mountain, Under the cliff, he still has a good nature, so I admire him even more.
"It just so happens that we are also hungry. We might as well go to the inn in front to stay together and have dinner together." Li Bai saw what Xiao Yu meant, nodded, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao Yu, is this what you want?"
Xiao Yu nodded and thought to himself that it was good to deal with smart people. If the person standing in front of him was the honest and honest Brother Yu, he would have to waste more time. Haha... I don’t know that Brother Yu and the others will return to the game. Is there any valley...?
The group of people then returned to the inn where Xiaoyu stayed, and asked the shopkeeper to prepare a table of dinner so that they could talk while eating.
Just as they were ordering, five more people jumped in at the door, and they headed straight for Xiao Yu.
Xiaoyu looked over and saw that it was the broker who had been beaten away at noon who led the way. He actually came with two middle-aged men dressed in rich and noble clothes. The other two could be seen as servants hired by them, and they were obviously dressed in servant clothes.
"Father, mother!"
The little fat man Zhang Jun stood up first and ran directly towards the middle-aged man and woman.
The middle-aged woman was well-dressed and looked like a woman from a wealthy family. She looked at the little fat man and rushed towards him. She knelt down and held Zhang Jun in her arms. Her face was filled with sadness instead of tears of joy, and she murmured: : "Jun'er, I have made you suffer so much. Your parents have finally found you."
Zhang Jun's father was also standing on one side, looking at Xiao Yu's side. The broker was pointing at Xiao Yu, telling Zhang Jun's father that he was the one who took Zhang Jun on his way.
Zhang Jun's father looked at Xiaoyu and a group of people with swords at their waists, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he felt a little timid.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly said to Li Bai: "Uncle Li, I rescued this little fat guy from a trafficker on the road. At this time, his parents came to find him. I'll go entertain them and I'll be back soon. Please wait a moment with everyone."
Li Bei nodded, "Go ahead, you go ahead."
When Li Luo saw this, he immediately picked up his sword and wanted to follow to watch the excitement.
Li Kun glanced at Li Luo, frowned, and glared at his rude sister, "You're not big or small, why are you joining in the fun?"
Li Luo pouted and said coquettishly to Li Bai, "Oh, daddy, look at my brother!"
Li Bai chuckled and said, "Haha, okay, okay, go ahead."
Then he turned to Li Kun and smiled, "Kun'er, Brother Xiaoyu is not an outsider, so don't worry."
Li Kun smiled and nodded, obeying his father's words.
Besides, when Xiaoyu walked to the door of the inn hall and watched Zhang Jun throw herself into the woman's arms, she knew that this couple was obviously the little fat man's parents. It seemed that this broker was really not one of the traffickers.
"Little brother, could you please take a moment to speak?" Before Xiao Yu could speak, Zhang Jun's father raised his sleeves and made a gesture of invitation, inviting Xiao Yu to come out of the inn to talk.
Li Luo followed and Xiao Yu smiled slightly at her.
The two of them followed them out of the inn and stood under an old willow tree in front of the door. Xiao Yu secretly thought that they were just discussing the matter of returning Zhang Jun to his parents.
