Liu Ruyan had no sleep all night, and it was just dawn. He walked out of the room with his sword in hand, went to the lobby and ordered a pot of the strongest ancient city roast, poured the wine one glass after another and drank it.
His heart was filled with sorrow, and his stomach felt like a bunch of mess. After reading the two letters last night, he thought a lot: the sworn blood feud, the missing little girl, and the unyielding Miss Luo next to him. What troubled him the most was, if this Luo Lin really and Luo Xiangxue is related, so what kind of relationship will they have? How will he face it? When he thinks about this, he will have a splitting headache. On one side he has a heinous enemy and on the other side he has an affectionate lover. What choice should he make?
After he drank a whole pot of flaming ancient city roast, he already had a plan in mind. He planned to ask Luo Xiangxue her father's name to determine whether they were related, and then plan the next step. action. He didn't eat any food except drinking. The sky was getting brighter and there were more and more diners in the shop.
What happened when Chu Yunfei and his daughter came back last night made Luo Xiangxue suspicious. She expected that there must be something extremely important between their master and apprentice, and she didn't want to tell others about it, but it was inconvenient for her to ask. She was in a state of confusion, Liu Ruyan was going to find her enemy, and she wanted to accompany him, but he refused to go with him. But she was worried about his safety, so she had no choice but to wait for him to take revenge before accompanying him to find his little sister.
Luo Xiangxue opened her eyes and saw the sky was bright. She got up and washed her hands briefly. She combed her long hair in front of the mirror and stared at herself in the mirror for a long time. Then she picked up her sword and left the room. .Ь.
Looking down from the verandah, I saw Liu Ruyan drinking alone. I was surprised and hurried downstairs and sat opposite Liu Ruyan: "Brother Liu, why are you drinking alone? Yes. Are you worried?" She stared at the expression on Liu Ruyan's face. Putting the sword on the table, he asked the shopkeeper to bring a basket of steamed buns. The steaming white buns were brought to the table, with the aroma of meat.
Luo Xiangxue drank a lot last night and felt dizzy and unenergetic. He drank all the time but didn't eat anything. He was already hungry, so he grabbed a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, gnawing on it. stand up.
Liu Ruyan had finished a bottle of wine. Seeing Luo Xiangxue eating heavily, she smiled and said, "You got up so early, why don't you sleep more?" There was a different color in his eyes when he looked at her, and Luo Xiangxue naturally Unable to notice.
Luo Xiangxue was eating the buns, yawning from time to time, and looking haggard. She said feebly: "When I woke up early in the morning, I felt dizzy and hungry. I was very confused. It was you who helped me into the room last night. Huh?" When she said the last sentence, a blush appeared on her face, showing a hint of shyness.
Liu Ruyan drank a pot of wine, his face was hot, but his mind was still clear. He looked at Luo Xiangxue and said lightly: "No, no, you were very drunk last night. It was the flower girl who sent you to the hotel. Upstairs. You should drink a cup of tea to sober up." With that, he greeted the waiter and asked for a cup of fragrant tea.
Luo Xiangxue looked up at the corridor upstairs and said, "Are Hua Mei and Uncle Chu going to Wolong Valley today?"
"Yes, the master is taking Huamei to rebuild the thatched cottage. Alas, I wanted to stay and help build the house, but the master refused and asked me to go find the whereabouts of my enemy." He sighed, "The vast sea of people, but where will my enemy be?" ?" Liu Ruyan shook the pot and found that it was empty. He wanted to order another pot, but then thought that he had something important to do, so he gave up and picked up a bun to eat.
At this time, Menghua walked down the corridor with her sword in hand and looked towards the lobby. She caught a glimpse of Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue and thought: These two people got up very early. She came to the two of them and greeted them: "Brother Liu, Miss Luo, good morning!"
Luo Xiangxue also greeted and responded: "Sister Hua, come and have something to eat together. I heard from Brother Liu that you are going back to Wolong Valley today?"
Chu Menghua nodded and said, "Well, we have to rebuild our home. Since the thatched cottage was destroyed, my father has been very sad and often talked about going back to Wolong Valley. Now, Uncle Xu's family has also gone back, and we have to build our home as soon as possible. Sister Xiangxue , will you go up the mountain with us?" She blinked her eyes without seeming to have any grudge.
Luo Xiangxue felt doubtful in her heart: "This beautiful girl really has a pure mind. She actually invited me up the mountain. Previously, I thought she was angry with me because of Brother Liu. But now it seems that I am overly worried! If I don't go, what will happen? I will not disobey her kind wishes, but if I go, I will
How to interact with her later! Sigh..." She thought about it for a long time and felt confused.
The sun was rising, and the lobby was bustling with people. Some diners were drinking and playing guessing games. Guests from the guest rooms upstairs came to the lobby one after another. Chu Yunfei also slowly walked over amid the crowds. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked tired. He seemed to have not slept well. He glanced at Liu Ruyan and said, "Yan'er, why are you drinking so early in the morning?"
Liu Ruyan smiled and said: "Master, I didn't expect that we would have to part ways just after we got together. This disciple feels sad. Come on, master, would you like to have a few drinks too?" He was about to wave for a drink, but was declined by Chu Yunfei with a wave of his hand. .
Chu Yunfei said: "I'm going up the mountain today and will be busy logging, so it's not appropriate to drink. When you return in triumph tomorrow, our master and apprentice will raise a toast to celebrate. Don't worry, I will build a house with flowers and wait for you." Come back." His eyes fell on Luo Xiangxue and hesitantly said, "Miss Luo, what are your plans? Are you going to follow Yan'er or go up the mountain with us?" He said and glanced at Liu Ruyan again, Liu Ruyan's cheeks Red, eyes calm.
Luo Xiangxue smiled lightly and said, "I want to travel around the world with Brother Liu, but they don't want to, so maybe they think I'm a burden!" She squinted at Liu Ruyan's face, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Everyone just thought she was joking, Liu Ruyan said: "Xiangmei, I am going to take revenge and my fortune will be unpredictable. My enemy must be a very vicious person. How can I let you go into danger with me? You can live with your master Huamei for the time being." Wait for news about me in Wolong Valley. If I, Liu Ruyan, avenge my family, I will come back to you. If I die at the hands of my enemies, it will be God's will!" He picked up his sword and stood up to walk out of the inn. .Ь.
The three people looked at each other, and Huamei suddenly frowned and said, "Brother Liu, you are alone outside, so you must take care of yourself! You must come back safely!" She looked at Liu Ruyan's back with a sad look on her face.
Liu Ruyan stood still at the door, turned back and smiled at Menghua, and said firmly: "Don't worry, everyone, I will be back!" He walked to the door, the sun was shining down, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the morning breeze was blowing. There is a slight hint of coolness. His slender figure looked a bit sharp and lonely in the light and shadow.
Luo Xiangxue stared at his back, then suddenly stood up and ran towards her. The two of them came to the street one after another. Liu Ruyan knew that she was following behind, stopped walking and turned around and said, "Xiangmei, are you there?" I was about to ask you something. You must tell the truth."
Luo Xiangxue was surprised and said doubtfully: "Brother Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
Liu Ruyan said: "Yesterday we met your father and mother in the mountains. We don't know their names yet. Can you tell us?" He looked calm and had a plan in mind.
Luo Xiangxue was startled and smiled lightly: "I thought it was something important. Well, I was negligent yesterday and forgot to introduce you to me. My father's surname is Luo, Luo Lin. My mother's surname is Li, and her name is Luo Lin." Li Guihua." She said, observing the expression on Liu Ruyan's face. When Liu Ruyan heard the name Luo Lin, she couldn't help but feel her heart sinking, as if sinking into a dark abyss. It turned out that Her father's name is indeed Luo Lin!
But there are many people with the same name in the world, which is not surprising. What is strange is what Xu Feng said in his letter: his enemy is named Luo Lin, and he settled in Qixia Valley in Zhongnan Mountain. Doesn't this coincide with my previous guess? Although there are many coincidences in the world, the enemy's name and location are consistent with the clues obtained by the spies. Doesn't that prove that this is conclusive? Is his enemy really Luo Xiangxue's father?琇书蛧
His face was not shocked, but his heart was already in turmoil. In order to prevent Luo Xiangxue from becoming suspicious, he had to pretend to be calm, nodded with a smile and said: "Yesterday was too abrupt, it must have shocked your father. I will see two people the next day." As an old man, I must apologize face to face. Xiangmei, my journey is uncertain. Even if I find my enemy, I can't guarantee whether I can avenge my blood. It's too dangerous for you to follow me. Don't do what he thinks. I'll give it up. I’ll come back to you about this matter! Promise me and wait for my return!”
He looked at Luo Xiangxue firmly, and Luo Xiangxue's eyes were gentle, and she leaned into Liu Ruyan's arms. Liu Ruyan stroked her arm, his eyes were calm, and his heart was like a mess. If one day she found out that her father was the enemy Liu Ruyan was chasing so hard, how would she face it? If she killed her father, would she hate herself to the core? How will she accept this cruel reality? Each of these questions wrapped around his heart like a poisonous snake, making him breathless.
When he is done, where will he go? Such a dilemma is really difficult, but he must face it and there is no escape.
Liu Ruyan patted her arm gently and looked at her with infinite affection and pity. His heart was tingling a little bit, blood dripping drop by drop, and the cool morning breeze blowing on his body seemed to make his mind clearer. At this time, he had no choice but to kill the poisonous snake with his sword and untie the knot that was almost suffocating him.
The sun shines warmly on the body through the dense forest. Liu Ruyan is about to leave when Chu Menghua suddenly calls from behind: "Brother Liu, you must come back safely. We are not going anywhere, just in Wolong." The valley is waiting for you!" Her eyes were full of worry and sadness, and the light in her affectionate eyes was gradually dimming, because she was seeing these two people clinging to each other, and jealousy suddenly arose in her heart, as if a jealous jar had been overturned. No matter how she looked at it, she felt jealous. It's awkward.
Chu Yunfei stood by the porch of the inn, with a solemn expression and a solemn expression. When Xu Feng handed the letter to him, he was a little confused. Xu Feng told him face to face that the letter was for Liu Ruyan. Follow the clues about the enemy obtained by the spies, as well as the secrets about the Liujiazhuang massacre.
Chu Yunfei was extremely grateful and expressed his gratitude for Liu Ruyan. He understood the importance of this letter to Liu Ruyan. He did not open it to read it, but he already knew the general content of the letter. The second letter he carried with him was given to him by Liu Ruyan's father back then, asking him to keep it safe until Liu Ruyan grew up and then give it to him. He thought over and over again and finally decided to let him go out immediately to complete his revenge.
