After a silent night, the boy in short shirt felt that he had assumed the duty of keeping vigil, and the woman in blue also acquiesced to this arrangement and began to rest on her own. The night gradually replaced the day, and a bright light appeared in the sky, a moonlight.
The night was getting darker, and the moonlight was shining on the leaves in the forest and in the streams. General Lin Manliu added more firewood to the bonfire next to him to prevent it from extinguishing in the middle of the night. He put Chunchuangdie and Shanyexing on his knees and looked at the two daggers through the moonlight.
Spring Chuangdie is Master's own sword and it is given to me now to protect me. The trip to the mountains was a gift from Senior Sister Qiao, who also hoped that my trip to the mountains would be safe. Even though he has traveled thousands of miles, it is enough that there are still people who care about him. The young man in a short shirt hugged the two daggers into his arms and breathed a long sigh of relief as he looked at the gurgling water in the stream in front of him, with the bright moonlight shining in the stream. .
Just like that, the young man held his sword and looked at the stream at night, and spent the night quietly...
March 21st, early morning
As the charred firewood broke and rose, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, which was the colorful clouds hanging high in the sky in the early morning. Yue Hanzhi Wen Sheng woke up and saw that the horses were still there, but the boy in a short shirt was missing. He hurriedly turned his head to look around. When he was about to get up and look for it, he found that the man was squatting by the stream and didn't know what he was doing. When he saw that he was still there, he exhaled. He calmed down and sat back down to rest.
"What are you doing?" Questioning words came from the mouth of the woman in blue. She poked the extinguished bonfire casually with a branch, and a wisp of black smoke slowly rose.
There was no response, but it could be seen that the boy's movements seemed to have sped up a bit. When the woman in blue was about to get up to check, she saw the boy in a short shirt turning around with a smile, and holding two small fish in his hand, which seemed to have been caught by him. It's taken care of.
"Look! The fish I caught in the morning can be eaten later before setting off." Lin Manliu waved the small fish in his hand and said excitedly to Yue Hanzhi, as if a child had done something interesting and was waiting for praise from an adult. .
"Childish," the woman in blue said, turning her head and no longer looking at the boy, but the corners of her mouth had already curled up in a small arc, and she was smiling.
The boy in the short shirt didn't care about this. He sat down by the bonfire and re-lit the fire with a fire stick to prepare the grilled fish. After a while, a faint aroma of burnt fragrance spread out. Yue Hanzhi still looked at the woods and refused to look back because of his face. It wasn't until the boy put the grilled fish next to her and shouted, "Eat it quickly, eat it quickly," that she started eating. She looked at the young man who was feasting in front of her. She didn't know whether he had forgotten or thought about the conversation last night.
After eating the grilled fish, the two people packed up their belongings, extinguished the fire, and prepared to set off to catch up with the caravan. However, because it was still a horse, they still shared a horse like yesterday. Maybe it was because of their physical strength. Having almost recovered, it was a bit awkward to do this again. Yue Hanzhi lowered his head all the way, neither looking forward nor turning to look at the young man riding the horse.
At noon, I finally saw the caravan's carriage at a post station next to a village. Lin Man's six royal horses were heading towards the location of the post station. Noisy sounds came from the surroundings before they even dismounted.
"Little brother Manliu!!! Isn't this little brother Manliu? None of us had a good rest last night, so we were worried about you."
"Me too!" The voices of the caravan men gradually came.
Hearing the noisy sound, Yue Hanzhi suddenly realized that they had found the caravan, but he was still sitting sideways in front of Lin Manliu, looking like a little bird? The roots of her ears immediately turned red. When the horse stopped, she pushed open the arms of the young man in a short shirt and jumped off the horse. Then she turned her back to the inn and did not dare to look back.
Lin Manliu also dismounted and exchanged greetings with everyone. The caravan manager smiled and nodded at the two people beside the horse, and waved to the boy in a short shirt to let them sit at the table for dinner. The waiter at the inn took the horses away and the two of them went to the table, and the steward called someone to serve some more food. The men didn't look carefully yesterday and only today they saw the face of the woman in blue clearly. They began to talk in a low voice unconsciously, and some couldn't help but start to praise her. The six little brothers are worthy of being heroic boys, and such compliments did not stop until the steward coughed and scolded them.
"Man Liu, what impact will those two people have yesterday..." the steward asked, pouring tea.
"We stayed in the forest all night yesterday and there was no movement. Everyone came all the way and everything was fine. It shouldn't be a big problem. But just in case, try to avoid the Yuezhou boundary when we return," Lin Manliu said after taking the tea bowl. .
"Well, it is indeed necessary to act like this. No matter what the reason is, when we go to Yuezhou again, we may have to make things difficult for them again," the steward said after thinking for a moment.
Later, we discussed some arrangements for the next itinerary with the caravan steward. We are still at the border of Yuezhou. After everyone finished eating, they were ready to leave and continue their journey. The boy in a short shirt ate some casually and sat down at the table to rest. Unexpectedly, the chair was blocked. The woman in blue kicked her, and he looked at her somewhat angry face, her lips moving slightly, as if she was repeating the word "curtain hat".
Only then did Lin Manliu react. After informing the steward, he went to the carriage to look for anything like a curtain hat. After searching for a while, he only found a larger bamboo hat. He took it back and handed it to Yue Hanzhi to make do with. Use it. So the woman in blue put on her bamboo hat, pulled out a silk scarf, covered her face, and sat at the table. She looked like the woman in blue who first saw her in the forest.
At this moment, several guests came to the inn, all of them wearing swords and knives. They were headed by a man who was dressed a little richly. He was obviously the young man from this area, and he was naturally surrounded by his bodyguards.
"The waiter has served some good wine, and today the Japanese hero is going to have a good drink and go to Hangzhou to see Mr. Lu open his shop!" Young Master said loudly.
The waiter at the inn hurriedly greeted him and offered him good wine and food.
Everyone in the caravan naturally avoided suspicion and their voices were lowered when talking. Lin Manliu just glanced at these people and stopped looking at these people. He tapped the table to remind the steward to get ready to go on the road quickly. The caravan steward nodded and got up to go to the inn to pay. However, the sound of getting up was a little loud maybe because he was a little nervous. Here The sound attracted the attention of the young man at the table. He was pouring wine and he looked towards the caravan steward and saw Yue Hanzhi, who was wearing a bamboo hat and a veil. The wine in the glass was already full and overflowing, and the young man didn't even notice.
He looked at the woman in a blue hat in front of him and couldn't look back. The guard next to him asked if he wanted to pour wine for him, but he couldn't hear it. Lin Manliu was aware of this situation, and Yue Hanzhi was also unconscious. He held the thin sword at his waist.
"That girl over there, I don't know how to call her, I am a descendant of the Jiang family in Yuezhou and have some connection with the Fengxue Grand View Tower." The young master began to introduce himself.
But there was no response. He was a little annoyed but didn't reply to his words. He stood up and looked at where Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi were sitting, pointed at them and said, "Don't you know who I am? Where do I come from the countryside?" Country bumpkin".
"It's true that he came from the countryside. I don't know who this young master is, so I hope you can forgive me," the boy in a short shirt said with his hands in hand.
"Bold, our Yuezhou Master Jiang has never heard of his reputation and you dare to reply directly. Are you tired of living?" A guard said and was about to draw his sword and point it at Lin Manliu.
When Mr. Jiang raised his hand to stop him, he waved his hand and said, "Stop it! Since he is going out to see Brother Lu soon, your young master will also be a gangster in the future and cannot bully the weak. That girl over there just wants to Getting acquainted might be awkward...".
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a young man in a short shirt: "If you don't want to disturb me and want to be a hero of the world, I hope this hero will stop disturbing us. I have never seen the world since I came to the country, and you and the Lu in your mouth are... We don’t even know him."
This angered the young master, he stamped his feet and said: "I don't know, forget it, Brother Lu doesn't know, so does Brother Ye know? I, Brother Lu, am the richest young man in Jiangnan, and my second brother Ye Dangting is the richest man in Jiangnan." A bunch of heroes, don't know that the mud-legged guy who rolled out of the mountain doesn't know anything and dares to act mischievous here!"
Ye Dang listen? Isn’t it Master’s name?
