With gurgling water and luxuriant grass and trees, people who know the existence of Xishan Island call it a paradise. It can be seen that the reputation is not unfounded. Every step on the island is a scene, and the miraculous craftsmanship of nature can be seen everywhere on the island, which is eye-catching and refreshing.
When he walked to a small cliff, Jiang Yichen couldn't help but stop and took a deep breath, as if all the cells in his body had been washed and purified.
The small waterfall sprays down, reflecting the sunlight, and the rainbow shines before our eyes. This place is called Caiwu Cliff. I have lived here for more than ten years, and it was not until I left that I realized that this scenery is so intoxicating.
When I was a child, I loved coming here to play and play in the water with my friends from the village. Before leaving, I should say goodbye to them, as well as the uncles and aunts. Thinking of this matter, he, who is not sociable with the world, suddenly got a headache.
…
On the mountain road, I met two little kids by chance.
Hu Tou and Huniu: "Brother Yichen, where are you going?"
Jiang Yichen: "Brother is leaving the island."
Hu Tou and Huniu: "What are you doing out of the island?"
Hu Tou and Huniu: "Is it fun outside the island?"
Hu Tou and Huniu: "Brother Yichen, can you take us out to play together?"
"..." Without a chance to speak again, Jiang Yichen fled as if running away, leaving the two children behind him shouting and asking questions with echoes.
…
Overlapping green ponds.
Follow the flowing water, and the water gradually increases. There is a drop of about seven to eight feet in front of you. The water flows down. This is the largest waterfall on the island. Under the waterfall is a ten-foot-square waterfall that is as green as a dripping gem. The lake is called Diecuitan, and old people often fish here.
An old man was sitting on the rocks beside the pool, with his eyes closed and the pole hanging to one side, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
The old man: "Chen'er, are you leaving the island?"
Jiang Yichen: "Yes, I came here to say goodbye to Uncle Wu." He was not surprised that the old man didn't look back, but already knew that he was carrying his luggage and preparing to go out.
Uncle Wu: "Oh, help me pick twenty water arrowroots. Be careful not to break the roots."
Jiang Yichen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions. After a few ups and downs, he put a bunch of water arrowroot into the bamboo basket next to Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu: "The pond at home is a bit dirty and needs water arrowroot to clear it."
Jiang Yichen understood immediately, clasped his fists at Uncle Wu, and turned to leave.
Uncle Wu: "After picking these flowers and plants, I feel a little out of breath. After I go out, I still have to find a solid foundation for the inner breath. When fighting with others, remember to fight quickly. Don't be reluctant to fight. If you are difficult to defeat, you must outwit it. In fact, If you can’t beat me... just run away!”
Jiang Yichen clasped his fists again, and Uncle Wu nodded silently, "Go ahead."
…
In a vegetable garden.
Jiang Yichen: "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I'm going out to the island with Uncle Ren to help my old man."
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang: "Now that you have decided, let's work hard. Yinniang, we will help take care of it."
Jiang Yichen: "Well, I'll leave it to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang."
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang: "Hey, we are all members of our own family, so what can we say? When you go out, don't work too hard when you don't have to, but take care of your own health. Your bones can't withstand a big torment."
Jiang Yichen: "Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang thank you for their trouble. I will pay attention."
My physical condition really worries everyone.
…
A tea shop in the market.
Aunt Li: "Where are Chen'er going? Are you carrying a bag and going out of the island?"
Jiang Yichen: "Well, aunt, I'm going to my uncle's place with Uncle Ren."
Aunt Li: "Hey! You are going to enter the Jianghu! Oh my god, why can Yinniang let you go like this?!"
Jiang Yichen: "..."
Aunt Li: "Well, the world is dangerous, and the current situation is turbulent. You have no experience in the world. After you go out, listen more, watch more, and learn more. You need to be restrained and low-key, but you have both. Here, take these sesame cakes to eat on the way."
Jiang Yichen: "Well, thank you, ma'am."
…
A blacksmith shop in the market.
Lao Zheng: "Is Yichen going to leave the island? Do you want to pick up a few things from me?"
Jiang Yichen scratched his head.
Lao Zheng: "Hey! Come here, why are you embarrassed? Take a look. Don't look down on this thing. The material can't be compared with the ones outside the island, but the craftsmanship is absolutely unparalleled! This long gun What, or this iron sword?"
Taking the two weapons that he was most comfortable with throwing from Old Zheng, Jiang Yichen played with them twice in turn, and fell in love with the spear even more, but after hesitating for a while, he still handed the spear back to Old Zheng.
Lao Zheng: "Hey, if you like it, bring it with you. Bring both of them."
Jiang Yichen: "Brother, this spear is indeed handy, but when I go out, it is inconvenient to carry it, so I might as well not use it."
Lao Zheng: "That's true. In this case, I will get you another dagger. Hide the short dagger in your trouser leg just in case you need it."
Jiang Yichen couldn't resist the good offer, so he finally waited for Lao Zheng to bring out a rather compact dagger. After getting it, it felt excellent in the hand.
Hold your fists and say goodbye to Lao Zheng.
…
After finally walking out of the village and market, there were not many people on the road, but Jiang Yichen seemed to have gained relief and new life, and he breathed a sigh of relief. I really couldn't cope with the enthusiasm of these neighbors and people, but I was still very moved and wanted to leave, still a little reluctant.
It was noon, and the sunlight filtering through the thin shadows of the trees made it difficult to raise one's eyes. Jiang Yichen deliberately walked faster and rushed to the shore before evening to find Yi Zhongren and his party.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from deep in the woods. Judging from the distance of the sound source and the size of the sound, it should be made by animals or people traveling quickly through the woods. It is guessed that someone is hunting birds or animals in the woods. As they were chasing each other, Jiang Yichen was worried and continued on his way.
However, the sounds in the forest did not stop and became more and more urgent. From far to near, they became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, under Jiang Yichen's eyes, a gray shadow flashed from the forest on the left into the forest on the right, followed closely by a pink figure.
"It seems to be Xin'er, follow me and have a look." It seemed that the pink figure he saw was Zhang Yuxin, a girl from the neighboring village. After thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Yichen ran into the forest and ran after her.
On the hilly rice fields, two figures were running towards the coast one after the other. The pink figure behind seemed to have reached the limit of its physical strength, and gradually distanced itself from the gray figure in front. If the other party is prepared in advance, they can escape by boat from the coastline, so there is no way to know the person's origin and purpose.
Could it be another spy? Are they the accomplices of the Twelve Sects of Tiansha who were captured not long ago or other hostile forces?
Zhang Yuxin no longer hesitated, stood up, raised her breath, and thrust the sword forward.
The iron sword roared out and flew towards the gray shadow ahead.
Sensing the danger behind him, Gray Shadow's first reaction was to dodge, but the flying sword came fiercely and quickly. When he turned around and tried to kick the flying sword away, it was too late, and his right calf had been pierced.
With a muffled groan, the man in gray fell backwards, holding his legs, with despair and unwillingness in his eyes, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and wiped it at his neck.
Failure means death, this is their fate.
Zhang Yuxin saw that the situation was not good, but she was unable to stop it and could only lament.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew from behind. The young man in light blue cloth whom she had just met on the road had already flashed to her side. The man in gray clothes in front seemed to be frightened and froze his figure, holding the dagger in his hand. Hovering on the neck, it is difficult to get close, only a little scarlet can be seen.
The man in gray was shocked, knowing that his meridians had been sealed. He had seen this long-distance acupuncture technique before, and this meridians-sealing method could only seal the meridians for a while, not for a long time, but with his skill and current I am exhausted but unable to break through this blockade.
After the suicide attempt, a flash of relief flashed across the brows of the man in gray, and then he smiled bitterly. Although he was saved from death, if he fell into the hands of the Dao Yi Alliance, it would be easier to die than to die.
Zhang Yuxin turned from worry to joy, took out the long whip from her waist with a cheerful step, and jumped towards the frowning man in gray in front of her. The expressions of the two were in stark contrast, making Jiang Yichen laugh.
"Brother Yichen, it's a good thing you followed him and almost made that guy commit suicide. Then my pursuit all the way was in vain." Zhang Yuxin said as she quickly tied the man in gray into a rice dumpling.
"Search for anything on him." Jiang Yichen put away his iron sword and said to Zhang Yuxin.
Zhang Yuxin's hand was already stretched out in the air. When she heard this, she froze for a moment. She rolled her eyes at Jiang Yichen, retracted her hand, folded her arms on her chest, raised her chin and said to Jiang Yichen politely: "You can do it yourself, hum~"
"Don't you love searching all over the place?" Jiang Yichen muttered softly with shame.
Zhang Yuxin raised her ears, glared at him again, and strode away angrily. Of course, before leaving, she kicked the poor man in gray unconscious...
After chatting with Zhang Yuxin all the way, dragging the man in gray along, they finally arrived at Guiyan Forest, not far from the ferry, where Xue Qing's thatched cottage was located.
"It's really a laborious job, and this damn girl won't help!" Jiang Yichen adjusted his breathing, secretly despising the girl from the neighboring village.
Before walking to the hut, I saw a middle-aged man in white, standing on the bench in front of the house, writing an inscription.
The man has long hair shawl, and a thin face. He looks like a frail scholar, and he doesn't look like a charlatan at all. Seeing his appearance, people who were not familiar with him would never think of the bloody past hidden under his pale and sick appearance. Xue Qing, the Gushuang swordsman, once single-handedly challenged four masters on a snowy night. After a fierce battle for three hours, he killed each of them one by one. However, due to exhaustion and excessive blood loss, he fainted in the snow and died the next day. He was found and rescued, so he suffered from cold illness, fear of cold, and lack of physical strength. He finally retreated to the mountains and forests for his old man. Now he is the person in charge of the Daoyi Alliance on Xishan Island.
As the sound of footsteps approached, Xue Qing turned his attention to a strange combination of a delicate girl wearing pink clothes with twin ponytails, carrying a boy with tied hair in light blue cloth, and a man in gray unconscious on the ground next to him. Come into view.
