"What?! Are you saying that the stone drum fell down and made a big hole in the ground, and the water flowed into the hole?!"
"Yeah, to be honest, we didn't have much hope at first. Thanks to the water leaking and the light coming in, we followed the water channel and got out."
"Tsk... It's true that good people don't live long and disasters last for thousands of years. This kind of thing can happen to you."
"I really can't speak. This means that people should not die. The five elements can be saved. If they are out of balance, they will change. If they change, they will return to balance."
"What a mess, ah, by the way, the stunning beauty who came out with you, where is she from? It seems that she has a good relationship with Bai Lian."
"Want to know? Then first tell me why that handsome young man calls you junior brother. Isn't it possible that he is also a disciple of Lady Nine Poisons?"
"How dare you blackmail me? If you don't tell me, I'll do whatever you want. At worst, I'll ask the white-faced guy."
"Xiao Kong is sad to say goodbye to his beautiful lady. Don't go and stir up trouble. But Miss Gong left quietly by herself. Aren't you worried at all?"
"What's the use of worrying. Xiao Mozi has a stubborn temper. I've said everything I should say. It's up to her whether she listens or not."
"Duplicity, I think you men all have the same virtues. You fall in love with one when you see one. Even Xiao Kong has learned to be so frivolous."
"Ha--you little vixen, you are not lucky enough. You will never be able to appreciate 'our' men's interest in stunning beauties in this life. You'd better just be envious."
"I'm just afraid that some little bastards are born to be annoying. No matter how interested they are, they won't be able to marry a stunning beauty, and they will end up being singles for the rest of their lives."
"I'm also afraid that some little vixen will blindly attract bees and butterflies, but the other party will make up his mind to ignore it. As a result, he will be unable to marry for the rest of his life and just be an old girl. See 'Mao.xian, Chinese.net,'
"Hmph... Let's wait and see who has the last laugh."
The red sun was setting in the west, it was already dusk, but the mountains and fields were covered with snow, and the direction of the mountain road could no longer be seen clearly.
Fortunately, today is the New Year's Eve, and as usual, no one will come to the mountains to drink in the wind - of course, it's just "as usual".
Amidst the sound of hoofbeats, two horses were seen approaching in the distance. The riders on the horses were all wearing hoods and large cloaks. They could be vaguely distinguished as a man and a woman.
As I was running fast, I suddenly heard the man say in a loud voice, "I'm telling you, Mao Yatou, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Wudu City tonight."
The woman reined in the horse, looked back at the man, and said shyly, "It's all because of my poor health that delayed my scheduled trip."
The man also reined in his horse and stopped, then he laughed and said, "Forget it, girls, there are always a few days every month, I understand."
The woman was slightly startled, and when she came to her senses, her ears turned red with embarrassment. She could not hide her anxiousness and said, "No... no, I'm just a little tired, and I don't know why."
The man said with a smile, "Your internal strength training has been so-so. You have consumed a lot of your true energy in the past few days. Of course you will be tired."
"But even if you are tired, you don't have to worry about it all day long. You have to sell it at a discount of 70% to 80%. If you don't know, you may think I have done something to you."
Seeing that the woman seemed to be stagnant, the man coughed again and said, "Let's say goodbye for now when we send you to Wudu City. You go home and wait to get married. I also want to go south to Shuzhong to seek medical treatment. But then Don’t forget to send me a wedding invitation. As for whether you call me Brother Huangfu or Huangfu Juxia, it’s up to you.”
That woman was Xing Zhiying. When she heard this, she felt even more hesitant and asked, "Brother, won't you send me home?"
The man was naturally Huangfu Yingyang. When he heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Mao Yatou is such a loser. Back then, she dared to enter Qinghai-Tibet alone, but now she is getting better and better and keeps going back?"
Xing Zhiying blushed and said coyly, "You are a newborn calf and you are not afraid of tigers. Besides, my grandfather might be able to find a way to deal with the eldest brother's illness."
Huangfu Yingyang said in surprise, "Your grandfather still knows medical skills? You didn't lie to me, did you? I don't want to get seriously ill and die young."
Xing Zhiying managed to suppress her embarrassment and said pleadingly, "Brother, just believe me this time, okay?"
Huangfu Yingyang paused for a moment, and finally said vaguely, "It's not that I don't believe you, well... let's leave that aside for now. Let's solve tonight's problem first. We can't spend the New Year sleeping in the open."
Xing Zhiying secretly said that it made sense, so she nodded slightly and said, "I listen to my eldest brother. Do you have any ideas?"
Huangfu Yingyang rolled his eyes and coughed dryly and said, "It's not appropriate to just listen to me. After all, you have to make your own way in the world in the future, so what are Mao Yatou's plans? Why don't you tell me?"
Xing Zhiying was startled when she heard this, lowered her head and muttered, "I've never been here before. There should be villages and towns ahead, right?"
Huangfu Yingyang shook his head and said, "The nearest market is still more than 160 miles away. It will be good to get there at the end of the weather."
Xing Zhiying made a soft sound and said awkwardly, "It's so far away, what should we do?"
Huangfu Yingyang couldn't help but raised his forehead and said, "What should I do? I can't even find a cucumber, and I don't even have to mix it with the salad. Now it's up to you to think of a way, use your brain quickly."
Xing Zhiying suddenly had an idea and tentatively said, "The Red Willow Fort that I passed by when I came here seems to be not far away. I can get back in about an hour."
Huangfu Yingyang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this. After a moment, he said feebly, "Fuck me, I can even think of such an idea. I am really convinced."
Xing Zhiying was embarrassed and muttered, "I...I'm not smart, but there is really no other way."
Huangfu Yingyang said angrily, "According to your idea, I knew that I couldn't reach the end of the land, and I deliberately led you away? Huh... This giant is not a pig."
He knocked on his forehead as he spoke, with a look of hatred on his face. Xing Zhiying was aroused by Huangfu Yingyang, and she suddenly felt blessed in her embarrassment. She blinked and said, "Since the elder brother said so, he must have had an idea. Is there a place to stay not far ahead?"
Huangfu Yingyang's face brightened slightly at this moment, he nodded and said, "I guess you're not too stupid, Mao Yatou. Do you see the mountain in front of you? What does it look like?"
Xing Zhiying didn't dare to be negligent. She looked in the direction for a moment and finally said with certainty, "Is it a cat?"
Huangfu Yingyang hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Fuck it, you are still a kitten scratching someone, does the cat have the word "王" on its head?"
Xing Zhiying suddenly said, "Brother is talking about tigers? Is that Crouching Tiger Gang?"
Huangfu Yingyang coughed and said, "Finally we are right, that is Wohu Gang, our New Year's Eve dinner will fall on their heads."
Xing Zhiying muttered, "But I met the Master Wen of Wohu Gang not long ago. He is a great hero on the green forest road. It seems that we should not embarrass others."
Huangfu Yingyang laughed and said, "Do you think this giant wants to take advantage of others? Well...that's not the point. Anyway, don't worry and follow me. I won't starve you."
Xing Zhiying looked helpless and could only nod in agreement, hoping nothing would happen.
