The white horse by the lake was the one Liu Ruyan rode away in the morning. This reassured her that if she found the horse, she would not have to worry about finding the owner. But she couldn't figure out why Liu Ruyan returned to Fengqi Valley after much thought. Could it be that his enemy was hiding here?
She grew up in this valley and was very familiar with the surrounding terrain. There was only her family in this bamboo forest, and there was no other family within a few miles around. Liu Ruyan's purpose for coming here is really intriguing. No matter what, I can only talk to those who meet him first.
Luo Xiangxue looked around blankly. She saw a series of deep and shallow footprints left on the grass by the lake. She concluded that these footprints were most likely Liu Ruyan's. She carefully looked at the direction of the footprints, which was towards the bamboo forest, that is. Said he headed towards his home. She couldn't help but tremble in her heart: Why did Brother Liu go to my house? Could it have something to do with my family? How is this possible?
At the moment, she didn't care so much and ran straight towards the bamboo forest. She looked around and called Liu Ruyan as she ran. There was still three miles from the entrance of the bamboo forest to her home. She hoped that Liu Ruyan could come to her home. Hearing her cry, she was afraid that her parents would hear it, so she had to lower her voice. Her heart was complicated and contradictory. On the one hand, she wanted to go home to see her parents, but on the other hand, she was worried that Liu Ruyan's revenge was related to her parents. She was caught in a dilemma. .
In the distance, Liu Ruyan was still hiding in the bamboo bush, spying on the two mysterious people and the situation in the yard. The wind blew the yellow leaves of the bamboo forest flying, and one by one they fell on him. There seemed to be a faint shouting in the wind. When he suddenly heard the first sound, he thought he was hearing hallucinations due to nervousness. He put his ears close to the bamboo pole and listened carefully. There was indeed a slightly faint voice in the whistling wind. The suppressed voice was intermittent, either high-pitched or soft. It was covered by the wind, but it was hard to hear clearly what it was calling. It could only be distinguished that it was a woman's voice.
The shouting obviously came from Cuiyun Lake, about three miles away from here. Liu Ruyan looked behind her. The bamboo forest was deep, fallen leaves were flying, and the forest path was empty. Where could there be any human figures? And the shouting was getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer. This anxious and concerned voice made his heart tremble: this voice could only come from the mouth of a woman he was familiar with. Apart from the ice-snow and smart Luo Xiangxue, Who could it be?
He suddenly had a bitter look on his face and widened his eyes, thinking: She finally followed her, what is she doing here now? Alas, this Xiangxue is really fooling around. Her arrival will ruin all my plans. What should I do now? Xiu Shuzhu
Just when he was worried, the two people seemed to notice someone coming and looked over. The two were chattering. Liu Ruyan's mind was racing, and she couldn't let them know that Luo Xiangxue was Luo Lin. Girl, there might be another incident. At the moment, it was inconvenient for him to show up and he couldn't let those two people know his existence. In order to avoid disturbing the situation, he decided to stop Luo Xiangxue first, stabilize her first, and then attack her. Explain the ins and outs. Their whereabouts were unknown to the two strangers.
Seeing that Luo Xiangxue was about to come looking for her, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He straightened up and darted out two feet away with an arrow, rushing towards the edge of the path. He was covered by the howling wind, but he didn't hear anything. There was no movement from him.
He flew several feet in succession and saw a woman in white looking around blankly next to a thick bamboo bush, calling out to Brother Liu. Liu Ruyan's heart tightened, fearing that her shout would attract the two mysterious people over, so he waved to her and whispered, "Xiangmei, I'm here!" As soon as she finished speaking, the person had already rushed to her side. , Luo Xiangxue was so shocked that she was stunned, and she said with surprise and joy: "Brother Liu, you are really here! I just saw your white horse by the lake, and I knew you were in the bamboo forest."
She grabbed Liu Ruyan's hand and was about to ask, but Liu Ruyan reached out to cover her mouth and whispered: "Xiangmei, listen to me, there are two people guarding you outside your courtyard. I don't know. I've been observing for a while, but I can't figure out what they are doing. Now, don't startle them, let's see in secret what they are going to do here!" He motioned to Luo Xiangxue not to make any noise.
Luo Xiangxue frowned and asked in surprise, "Who are they? What are they doing here?"
Liu Ruyan shook his head and said hesitantly: "I don't know. I heard their conversation when I first arrived in the forest. They said they were coming to discuss something with your father. I don't know what it was about. I'm worried about this. The two of them are not good people, so they are hiding in
Lin Zhong stared, but didn't see any movement. "He said, taking a look at the forest ahead.
Luo Xiangxue was a little anxious. She stared in the direction of home and murmured: "Brother Liu, do you think my parents are in danger? Come on, let's go and take a look." She pulled Liu Ruyanyi. I want to go home. Liu Ruyan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't worry, don't be impatient. Don't disturb them. Let's observe in secret to see what they are going to do."
Luo Xiangxue said anxiously: "But my parents... I'm worried that they will be in danger."
Liu Ruyan said: "Don't worry, your parents will be fine. I see that these two people didn't hurt your parents. From their tone, it seems that they want to ask your father for help."
Luo Xiangxue said in surprise: "Help? What can my father do to help them? As far back as I can remember, I rarely see my father bring friends to the house. He spends most of his time alone. I asked my mother, and my father is away from home all year round. , what is he doing? Mom said, dad is doing business outside, and he can only support us by making money!"
Liu Ruyan took Luo Xiangxue and carefully hid behind the bamboo bushes. They stared not far ahead. Liu Ruyan said lightly: "Why are you following me? Didn't I ask you to go to Wolong Valley with the master?"
Luo Xiangxue bit her lip and said, "After you left, I was really worried about your safety so I followed you quietly. Brother Liu, you won't blame me, right?" She looked at Liu timidly like a child who had made a mistake. Like smoke.
Liu Ruyan sighed: "The reason why I don't let you follow me is that I don't know the details of my enemy. The sword has no eyes. If a fight breaks out, I won't be able to care about you. I don't want you to get hurt by following me. Secondly, if you knew some things, it would be bad for you. In short, I am doing this for your own good!" He was full of sorrow and seemed to have nowhere to vent, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"What do some things refer to?" She stared at Liu Ruyan quietly, his eyes revealed Luo Xiangxue's white figure, handsome face, slender body, long black hair and a pair of big talking eyes.
"Xiangmei, I will tell you slowly in the future. Look at those two people waiting outside the yard for a long time. Just now I heard them telling your mother that they wanted to see your father, but your mother said that your father was not at home. , they are waiting outside. They must be from the martial arts world. Don't worry, we will observe patiently." The mountain wind was strong, Liu Ruyan smelled the fragrance of Luo Xiangxue, and couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart. Stare at those two people.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman came out of the bamboo forest behind the house carrying a load of water and approached the yard.
At that moment, he raised his head and glanced at the two people in the distance, his brows furrowed, showing a trace of worry. She first went into the house and told her husband about the two people's visit. After she described their appearance, Luo Lin knew the identities of the two people and the purpose of their visit.
They are the second and third eldest among the Three Heroes of Northern Shaanxi, and the eldest is a disabled person who has been paralyzed for many years. Since the eldest brother became disabled, the Three Heroes of Northern Shaanxi rarely travel around the world. In the early years, these three people were considered local snakes in northern Shaanxi. They used a strange hidden weapon and poisoning methods to run rampant and committed many evil things that were harmful to the world.
Because of the business of selling Chinese medicinal materials, he got in touch with the Feipeng Gang of the Twelve Leagues, and became acquainted with Luo Lin, the former gang leader. However, the contacts between the two parties were limited to business, and the personal relationship was not deep until their boss Sun Tianxing fell ill and became paralyzed. As Bei Sanxiong's popularity fades, people in the underworld no longer take them seriously, and the Feipeng Gang gradually distances itself from cooperating with them. Seeing that the momentum was gone, the two brothers realized their interests and rarely appeared in the world since then. xь.
The two people waited for a long time and saw that the middle-aged woman was wary of them and had a cold face, but Luo Lin never showed up. They thought there must be something fishy, or Luo Lin was really not at home, so the two of them ate. I was turned away, feeling very unhappy and inconvenient, so I thought I would just let it go this time and had to come back next time.
The two came to the gate of the courtyard and saw the woman carrying two buckets full of water. The fat man greeted him with a smile: "Sister-in-law is very busy. She told us that our brothers can do the work for us. Alas, we waited for Brother Luo for half the night, but he didn't show up." When Brother Luo comes back, I'll say goodbye first! When Brother Luo comes back, I hope my sister-in-law can help my brother pass on the message that Gao Dabao and Guo Liuyuan, the three heroes of northern Shaanxi, are coming to visit! We'll come back next time!" He smiled and bowed to the woman with fists in his hands. .
The middle-aged woman smiled lightly and said: "I will definitely bring you what you want, so go slowly, I won't send you away!" She
With that said, he lowered his body and picked up the bucket and entered the back room. After the sound of pouring water, the woman hurriedly looked out the window and saw the two men leaving angrily and disappearing in the blink of an eye. She looked at the curtains in the room and let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, a man's voice came from the room: "Have those two people left?"
The middle-aged woman said: "If you leave, I must not have gone far."
The man said: "They must have done nothing good. Ever since Sun Tianxing became paralyzed, his two brothers have been going around unscrupulously and cheating. If it weren't for Sun Tianxing's face, I would have never wanted to do business with them. Alas, now I He’s not the leader of the Feipeng Gang, so he can’t take care of this matter.”
The middle-aged woman sighed and said: "In those days, you had to take care of the affairs of the gang every day, and it was rare for you to stay by my daughter and me. After so many years, although Xiangxue is not our biological child, we have done our best to her. I hope this Children, please don't bear grudges against us." As he said this, his eyes gradually turned red, and his heart was full of sadness, which was not a good feeling.
The man coughed slightly and said: "Guiying, don't think so much. How can the child be with us all the time when she grows up? I think she has too much affection for the young man named Liu. But I don’t know if that young man can treat her sincerely." After saying this, he coughed again, with rapid breathing.
The middle-aged woman said: "You are coughing badly. Is it because of the cold or residual poison? Do you still have the poison-repelling pill? Take one quickly and have a good rest." She hurriedly put down her work and walked quickly into the back room. , and saw Luo Lin half-leaning on the bed, with a flushed face and a haggard expression, as if he was seriously ill.
