In order to thank Murong Yan and others, Qian Xi ordered Mei Niang to quickly prepare a banquet to entertain everyone, and strongly invited everyone to "swim the Liuli River at night" to enjoy the entertainment. The two most playful girls looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly became extremely excited. They pulled Mei Niang and said they wanted to help, while Ajuan took Zhao Kuo away with him, who was still smiling innocently. When Qian Xi saw this, he suddenly looked at the man and woman in front of him, bowed and said goodbye, and escaped using some excuse.
But after a while, only Bai Feng and Murong Yan were left in the room, and the atmosphere was very ambiguous. Murong Yan faced the direction of the closed door, her mind seemed to be still in the dream just now, and she looked embarrassed.
"They seem to be very happy! Yan'er, would you like to have some tea?" Bai Feng poured a cup of tea, walked around to the other party, and said.
Murong Yan raised her glass and took a sip, looking at the portrait on the table, she slowly put the glass down and said, "Did I paint that painting?"
"Uh...really?" Bai Feng hesitated and said, "Just now, your words and demeanor suddenly changed as if you were someone else. After you got up from the bed, you asked me if I was 'Bai Feng' or 'Mr. Bai'. Then you asked me I took out a pen and paper, and while drawing, I was talking about the person I was writing about..." As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Yan fell into the other person's arms and burst into tears.
"Yan'er, what's wrong with you? You were like this for no reason just now..." Although this was the second time Bai Feng faced this situation, there were five people everywhere, which made him even more at a loss. At this time, there was only one thought in his heart, and he immediately reached out and took the other person into his arms. The two are in love with each other and exchange love with each other.
In an instant, a sobbing voice came from the young man's lap: "Brother Feng, after we find Mr. Wang... let's go our separate ways..."
After Bai Feng heard this, he was completely puzzled. Although he had doubted that this relationship would be an obstacle to him because of his pride before, now, he is absolutely unwilling to let it go!
"Did Yan'er see something in her dream?" The young man speculated that the only possibility for the other party to have such a vision was the backlash caused by the "Spirit-Asking Technique". After saying that, some tears welled up in Bai Feng's eyes, and she hugged the warmth in her arms tighter.
After a while, a man's sneezing sound was heard outside the door. Then, the door was knocked open from the outside! Ajuan, Zhao Xiaomei, Qian Xi, and Zhao Kuo, who was covering his mouth and blowing his nose, stood in front of the door, all looking embarrassed. After Bai Feng and Murong Yan learned that the conversation had been eavesdropped, they immediately separated from each other for a few minutes. Murong Yan even said a blessing to everyone and said goodbye with tears in her eyes. Bai Feng sighed and looked helplessly at the back of the leaving girl.
"This... Young Master Bai, we..." Ajuan had been talking for a long time, and Bai Feng raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to say anything more, walked through the gap between the people in front of the door, and went to find Murong Yan.
Qian Xi scratched his forehead and watched the other party leave in shame, then complained to the remaining people: "I should have stopped you, now you are in trouble!"
"This...it's all my brother's fault!" Zhao Xiaomei pointed out in panic: "Damn Zhao Kuo, why are you sneezing when you have nothing to do?"
Zhao Kuo argued: "It's not that the pollen smell on Ajuan's body is too strong and makes my nose itchy!"
"Then you are so close to me, go away!" Ajuan angrily pushed Zhao Kuo and rushed out from him, shouting Murong Yan's name at the same time, looking for someone.
"I seem to have heard the words 'part ways' just now. Could it be that..." Zhao Kuo muttered to himself, completely unaware that Qian Xi and the younger sister beside him had already turned away, and hurriedly followed them, accusing the younger sister of being Looking disrespectful to everyone, he started arguing with his sister.
During the day, Jiangzhou City is full of people and traffic. Teahouses, pubs, and small grocery stores are arranged alternately on both sides of the spacious road. It seems that wherever you go you can see prosperity. Murong Yan strolled down the street and gradually came to the Liuli River. Green willows are planted on both sides of the river, and catkins flutter in the wind, retaining some natural beauty in the noisy city. The old man rocking the oar was humming a boat song on the river. Even though he was only wearing heavily patched old clothes, he was still content, which attracted Murong Yan to go over and take a look.
Following the distant and delicate song, Murong Yan came to a very wide stone arch bridge. If she was not mistaken, this was the bridge that she and her friends crossed by boat that night. On the bridge, there were people taking a rest and watching the scenery, people setting up stalls seeking wealth, and groups of four or five children playing around a toy vendor.
The dealer sometimes rocked the small wave drum back and forth, sometimes wore a red ghost mask to scare people, and sometimes played the suona, which attracted people's attention. It made several children fight for the toys, and the merchants were surrounded. Murong Yan leaned on the railing to take a closer look, and her face became less sad. After a while, singing came from under the bridge. The old man drove his canopy-topped boat to the shore. After mooring the boat, he carried the caught fish on his back and walked up the stone steps to the shore with a smile.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with being an ordinary person, right?" Murong Yan looked at the scenery and said in her heart: "But why does mother still say 'yes'? Even if she knows what the outcome will be, she still wants me to be with Brother Feng ..." Suddenly, Ajuan in the distance called to Murong Yan, interrupting her thoughts.
"Ajuan, why are you here?" The girl faced her and saw that the eyes of others were focused on her dress.
The Miao girl dressed in gorgeous exotic costumes was particularly eye-catching as she walked along. Hundreds of eyes, large and small, wandered among the strange patterns on the silver jewelry on her clothes, making her feel uncomfortable all over. Ajuan shrugged her body and whispered to Murong Yan: "Miss Murong, come back with me. I know I was wrong!"
"I don't blame you." Murong Yan smiled and said, "Why don't you walk around with me?"
Ajuan looked at a willow tree in the distance and replied: "Miss Murong, I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Bai. But even a fool can see that he only likes you!" After that, Ajuan pointed to the distance, motioned Murong Yan to move her eyes, and continued: "Look over there, he is hiding behind the tree. I just called him to see you, but he refused, saying that it would be better to let you think for a while. "
Taking a closer look, there was indeed a white shadow under the crooked green willow tree. Ajuan tried to ease the relationship between the two, hugged Murong Yan's arm, and persuaded her affectionately: "I actually envy you, Miss Murong! Although Mr. Bai is relatively dull and doesn't know how to talk to make girls happy, but... ! He has good character, strong martial arts skills, and good strategy. He will definitely do something great in the future. If you stay with him, you will definitely be happy!"
"Thank you, Ajuan." Murong Yan's belief was almost shaken, if she didn't know what would happen in the future. After saying that, the two of them unconsciously looked at the green willow over there, as if they knew something was going on.
Bai Ying stopped hiding behind the tree and walked straight towards the road with his sword in hand. The two girls here looked in the direction and saw that the old man who had just brought the fish ashore was beaten to the ground by several people and was miserable.
Shaoqing, Ajuan and Murong Yan also arrived there. Live fish were rolling and rolling all over the ground, and the smell of fish stung their mouth and nose with nausea. Three officials in red clothes and light jackets were confronting Bai Feng. The young man supported the old man and accused the other party of his fault.
The leading officer held a light helmet in his hand, his face was slightly drunk, and he was shaking his body. He supported others and barely stood, saying: "Master, I lost all my money today, and I happened to meet a man in ragged clothes. I won't... punish you." Half dead!"
"If I don't have any money, I'll just pawn the fish!" the officer wearing a helmet said.
"If you don't give it to us, we'll rob it!" another fat-headed official said.
The old man covered his chest and murmured: "I never cared about this before! I have been transporting fish to the city to sell, and as long as I don't stay, I won't be fined!"
"Huh, oppressing the poor people, what a bad job, what an official!" Bai Feng said angrily.
"Young boy...you want to learn from others and become a hero? You don't even know who I am!" The drunken officer almost gave an order, and the other two men drew their swords and bullied him: "Chop off his sword hand for me. !”
The fat-headed official took the lead and saw that Bai Fengjian had not yet come out, so he thought he could be the first to chop off the opponent's right hand. He strode past without looking back, but stepped on the fresh fish on the ground and fell to the ground. The weight of the "pig head" seemed to account for half of his body. He smashed the back of his head and fainted on the spot, causing the onlookers to laugh.
The leading officer saw that there were suddenly so many people watching, and felt that he could not lose face, so he told the officer wearing a helmet not to miss. Unexpectedly, before he could take action, Bai Feng had already stepped forward and pierced his helmet with his sword. The officer was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot and fell to his knees. And his helmet still hung on Hakuho's sword. This miraculous sword skill attracted applause from the onlookers.
"This...this, what is going on!" The drunken officer almost wiped his eyes several times, unable to believe what was happening in front of him. He went to the fat-headed officer, checked his breathing, and found that the man was no longer breathing. An idea struck him and he accused Bai Feng of murder: "Look, everyone! Killing an official in broad daylight. Such evil people cannot be tolerated by heaven!"
Facing such scoundrels, Bai Feng felt very angry. The crowd who came to watch actually started to point fingers at him, and even believed the fallacy in the officer's mouth. Seeing this, Ajuan, who was behind the crowd, pushed his way out of the way with Murong Yan and came to Bai Feng's side. Using his good voice, he shouted: "It's obviously that official who is bullying this old man. We must not be allowed to be bullied." Liar! And that 'pig head' fell to death by himself, he deserves it!"
Seeing this strangely dressed Miao woman, everyone was very curious. Some people who had just started observing this woman came out to speak in support of Bai Feng.
"I followed this girl here and saw the whole process. The official bullied the people and threatened to cut off the young hero's arm!"
"Yes! The girl is right!"
"What else do you know besides draining people of their hard-earned money?"
Seeing that public opinion was gradually being suppressed, the leading official walked away in spite of public outrage.
The old man felt very sad when he saw that most of the fish he had worked so hard to catch were dead. Bai Feng and the others picked up the fish that were still alive, put them back into the net bag, and returned them to the old man. Bai Feng paid for the remaining dead fish. This move made the old man thank him repeatedly, but Bai Feng only responded with a smile and sent the old man away.
Bai Feng looked at the empty purse and the bag of dead fish in his hand, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. Seeing his embarrassment, Murong Yan and Ajuan on the side covered their mouths and sneered.
"Mr. Bai, it's no use even if you buy so many dead fish!" Ajuan joked.
Bai Feng replied: "This..." After saying that, when he saw Murong Yan, he couldn't help but show his teeth when he saw Murong Yan, and Bai Feng did the same.
"Brother Feng, we can transfer the Liulic Pavilion to Mr. Qian!"
The three of them left behind their silver coins and good reputations, as well as the smell of fish and laughter, and walked back to Liuli Pavilion. Perhaps at this time, she understood why her mother still answered "yes" after knowing the result. Because no matter what her choice is, Bai Feng is still Bai Feng. If she leaves right now, Bai Feng may continue to pursue herself until heaven and earth are separated forever...
Why not try to face it together? The so-called destiny...
