Everyone returned to the village together, and Fu You followed Lin Manliu and others to the inn, waiting for his handwritten letter of worship.
Qiao Kesi and Lang Fengyan returned to the house where they lived first.
Qiao Kesi, who had just closed the door, looked at Lang Fengyan who was about to enter the house to rest.
She whispered softly: "Sister Lang..."
Lang Fengyan stopped and did not turn around immediately, but just turned his face to look back.
"I've tried it for you. You can protect yourself when traveling far away!"
Qiao Kesi continued to speak: "Together with the recent Jianghu events, Junior Brother Lin's trip will definitely be extremely dangerous, so..."
Listening to her voice, Lang Fengyan had no choice but to scratch his head and turn around.
"He just asked you to help deliver the message. Why worry so much? Besides, aren't you afraid that Zhujianfeng will be involved?"
Faced with Langfengyan's question, Qiao Kesi fell into silence.
But soon, she raised her head again and looked firmly in the direction of the inn.
Qiao Kesi said: "Before being transferred from here, coupled with the fact that Si's old team returned to Zhujian Peak, I have actually understood that some things have already happened..."
Before the Sword Appreciation Conference, the care of the Fengjie area was decided by the main branch of Zhujian Peak, the Si family.
When an accident occurred at the Sword Appreciation Conference and a large number of Si disciples left, the place was taken over by Li Junce.
That Li family minister didn't care about these remote places at all.
If it weren't for the remaining power of Sword Forging Peak, I'm afraid this place would have been poisoned long ago...
Until the Xunhan Mountain incident was exposed, everything in the peak was returned to Grandpa Qiao's care.
Whether it is the Qiao family or the Li family, they now have to follow Grandpa Qiao's instructions, and these towns and villages that were protected by Zhujian Peak in the past can be reconnected.
Because of this, Qiao Kesi himself gradually discovered some clues within the peak.
For example, some of the collateral descendants of the Li family began to disappear, or the familiar faces in the Qiao family were no longer visible.
Even she herself was transferred from the peak and arranged here.
Maybe things really are going to change.
Looking at Qiao Kesi's expression, Lang Fengyan could only sigh helplessly.
She said: "I need to say something unpleasant here. I am just a guest of the Qiao family, and it was only Uncle Qiao who was kind to me in the past."
Qiao Kesi nodded and responded: "I know all this, but Kesi still wants to hope that...Sister Lang can protect Junior Brother Lin for a while."
Seeing that Lang Fengyan didn't answer, Qiao Kesi pursed her red lips and intertwined her fingers, looking very sad.
"I really don't know what you're thinking... What does his life and death have to do with you?"
Lang Fengyan said a word, turned around and entered the house, closing the door at the same time.
In the huge mansion, Qiao Kesi was left alone.
Nowadays, there are a lot of things going on in the Sword Forging Peak. Even though she lives here, she still needs to help deal with things in the peak.
He has too much time to take care of himself, and even if he wants to lend a helping hand, he is unable to do so.
Not long after, another voice came from the house.
"The boy also said that he will not return to Yijian Villa for the time being. I will go and deliver the message for you. I can follow you as long as I can on the road!"
Hearing Lang Fengyan's voice, Qiao Kesi was a little confused at first, but he quickly came to his senses.
She shouted happily: "Thank you Sister Lang!"
Lang Fengyan in the room whispered: "Why are you so happy?"
...
At the same time, in the hall of the inn.
Lin Manliu handed the written letter to Fu You. The letter only stated that she wanted to visit Yijian Villa and visit Ye Dangling by the way.
Originally, the boy in the short shirt wanted to add a few strokes to inform him of the situation at this time, but when he picked up the pen, the boy gave up the idea.
Regarding Jiang Yanlin's matter, it is still too special. It would be the best choice to explain it to the old liar face to face if he has the opportunity later.
The young man in a short shirt said: "Nvxia Fu will go eastward, directly to Hangzhou, but try not to state your purpose on the way!"
After all, there are still many enemies in the Jiangnan area of Yijian Villa.
Now that the news of the death of Master Xue Sanzhuang is probably well known in the Jiangnan area, there will always be someone who will keep an eye on Yijian Villa again.
In the villa, Mr. Qinglan and the old liar are sitting together, so he is not afraid.
But Fu Nuxia, who went to Yijian Villa this time, must not put her into an unjust situation.
Fu You responded: "I understand Lin Shaoxia's worries, and I will definitely pay attention to them when I go forward!"
While she was speaking, she already bowed to Lin Manliu and others with her hands clasped in fists, wanting to say goodbye.
Shopkeeper Zhang, who was napping at the counter of the inn, suddenly woke up at this moment.
He laughed out loud: "It's getting late and it's a rainy season. How about this heroine staying at the inn for one night and waiting until tomorrow to start the journey? No charge!"
Fu You looked at the shopkeeper Zhang with some vigilance. Although Lin Manliu had just explained that shopkeeper Zhang at the inn here could be trusted, she was still wary of these "hospitality" at this time.
Lin Manliu glanced at the sky outside the house, it seemed like it was going to rain.
He also spoke up: "There is no rush to go to Hangzhou. If Fu Nuxia is not in a hurry, it would be best to stay overnight."
Fu You listened to their words and glanced at the sky outside the door.
The girl in blue thought for a while before nodding and saying: "Then stay here for one night. I will leave on my own early tomorrow morning."
Shopkeeper Zhang behind the counter immediately became energetic and slapped his hand on his thigh.
He shouted: "It's a lively day today! You guys can come downstairs later, and I'll ask the chef to cook some delicious food for you all!"
Seeing the smile on the middle-aged man's face, Lin Manliu and others also laughed.
In the past six or seven years, thanks to Zhujianfeng's protection and favor, the village finally found stability.
Now, meeting these knights who travel with swords again, this old man must not be happy!
Lin Man Liuyan said: "The boy can do a few tricks himself, and he will come to help the big brother in the kitchen soon!"
When shopkeeper Zhang heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
"It's easy to say! It's easy to say! Adding a few more dishes is better than anything else!"
Jiang Yanlin raised his hands and started to cheer.
"Brother Liu, I want to help too, I can do that too!"
Lin Manliu smiled and looked at shopkeeper Zhang, who nodded and walked out of the inn.
"That's fine! Then I won't be idle either. I'll go to the entrance of the village to ask for some good tea from Aunt Wang. The store is a bit shabby!"
The boy in a short shirt felt warm in his heart when he looked at this happy scene.
It's been a long time since I've had such fun.
Since the incident in Qingzhuang, everyone in Yijian Villa has become busy.
Whether they are walking outside or living deep in the village, everyone has things they need to accomplish.
For Lin Manliu himself, at this moment, he also has his own things to do.
After Jiang Yanlin's matter is properly handled, he must inform the Villa of the matters related to him.
Two hours later, the sky had darkened.
In the hall of the inn, several candlelights were lit at this time, making the entire hall look more like daylight.
The waiter muttered to shopkeeper Zhang that this was too expensive.
As a result, shopkeeper Zhang scolded me, saying that these candles would not be lit until the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse. If they were not lit today, could they be reserved for you to get a wife?
Maybe he was particularly happy to see shopkeeper Zhang today, so the waiter replied in a strange way.
He said that he could wait until he gets a wife, and the money for the candles would be deducted from his wages.
This sentence almost made the inn manager Zhang laugh out loud.
Shopkeeper Zhang slapped the waiter on the forehead, and then added that no one would want your coward even if you barge in the door!
The waiter could also tell that shopkeeper Zhang was happy and joking with him, so he hurriedly continued to clear the chairs and stools.
Just when the waiter had taken a few steps, he heard shopkeeper Zhang's voice again.
"When you get married that day... I'll give you a whole new life, no wages will be deducted!"
"The shopkeeper is serious?!"
"If you don't believe it, just pretend you didn't hear it!"
“Thank you in advance, the shopkeeper!!!”
Lin Manliu looked at the laughing and cursing of shopkeeper Zhang and the waiter at the inn, and thought of Brother Dong and shopkeeper Yang for no reason.
Brother Liu was in a daze when Jiang Yan saw him, and he probably guessed what he was thinking.
"Brother Liu himself said before that the dead are gone and the living are gone... We should look at what will happen in the future."
The boy in a short shirt nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Shopkeeper Zhang turned his head to look at Lin Manliu, and he shouted: "Little brother, do you want to call out those two distinguished guests?"
Lin Manliu responded immediately: "I had the idea to go before, and I will go when everything is cleared up!"
Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile: "There's nothing left to do, little brother, just go and the dishes will be ready when you come back soon!"
The boy in short shirt glanced at the others. Not only Jiang Yanlin and Shen Muchao, but also Fu You nodded to him.
"That's fine, kid, just go and come back!"
After saying that, Lin Manliu trotted towards the house where Qiao Kesi and Lang Fengyan lived.
Everyone at the inn didn't wait long before the three of them reappeared in front of the inn's door.
Lang Fengyan looked at the scene in the inn, smacked her lips and started talking to Qiao Kesi beside her.
"Sister Kesi, look at the scene. It wasn't like this when you came here!"
Qiao Kesi explained: "I also concealed my identity from shopkeeper Zhang before, and I only explained it to him later..."
Lang Fengyan entered the inn first. Hearing the noise, the shopkeeper Zhang quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Today I just plan to cleanse the dust for a few Jie Feng, which can be regarded as making up for what was left behind earlier!"
Qiao Kesi said: "Uncle Zhang's kindness is really appreciated!"
Lin Manliu also said: "I still want to thank shopkeeper Zhang today!"
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the two people's thanks and immediately made a face.
"This is not a good time for you two. Why don't you just have a meal together?"
The boy in a short shirt hurriedly answered: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Let's have a good meal today!"
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Eat whatever you want! Feel free to eat!"
Regarding the scene in front of them, Lang Fengyan and Qiao Kesi looked at each other, both of them smiled, and then sat at the table together.
At the dinner table, everyone talked about trivial matters and had a lot of fun.
The waiter talked about interesting things about Fengjie over the years, and when he talked about his joy, he started to wink at the shopkeeper and was about to get the drinks behind the counter.
As a result, he received another slap, followed closely by shopkeeper Zhang's preaching words.
"Didn't you see the tea cakes you brought from Grandma Wang? I'm still drinking. How many jars can you drink?"
As for the fact that no drinks were placed on the table, it was not shopkeeper Zhang who was searching, but Lin Manliu who suggested it himself.
Even if today's event is festive, they can't miss it by drinking. They will have to continue their journey after tomorrow, so they have tea instead of wine.
Granny Wang was the old woman Lin Manliu and the others met when they entered the village to ask for directions.
At this moment, seeing everyone praising her tea cakes, her eyes were full of smiles that couldn't be hidden.
After Lin Manliu and the others devoured the food, it wasn't long before the table was in a mess, and not a single bit was wasted.
After having enough tea and food, all that was left was chatting.
At first, they were still talking about their experiences while traveling far away, but as they talked, the direction changed.
The first person to be called upon was Fu Nuxia, who was not very familiar with everyone.
The girl in blue couldn't answer any of Lang Fengyan's stupid words, so she could only shake her head and admit defeat.
"What Sister Lang said, I have never seen before..."
Langfengyan looked at Fu You's expression and liked it even more.
Just when she was about to make some more nonsense and continue to make things difficult for the girl in blue, she was finally stopped by Qiao Kesi.
"Sister Lang, don't continue to embarrass sister Fu You..."
"I know, I know!"
Lin Manliu secretly took a sip of tea, trying to hide his smile, but was quickly caught by Qiao Kesi.
Senior Sister Qiao's words suddenly rang in the ears of the boy in a short shirt.
"Sister Lang asked so many questions earlier. I wonder if Junior Brother Lin has ever found a girl he likes in his journey?"
Lin Manliu looked at Qiao Kesi, with the tea bowl still stuck in his mouth, and he nodded silently.
Qiao Kesi breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Then if you have a chance in the future, you must bring that girl to senior sister!"
Lin Manliu responded: "Okay!"
