"Waiter! Bring a pot of wine and two plates of side dishes!" Yan Yan and Yue Yi ran around for several months, and finally arrived in southern Yunnan. They saw a rest shop on the side of the road, so they sat down.
"Please wait a moment, sir, the food and drinks will be here soon!"
"Uncle Yan, why is it that the south, which used to be poorer, is now getting richer?" Yan Yan said, "Because there is the Li family here, the Li family of my Yue Family Army!"
While he was talking, the waiter had already brought the wine and food over, "Your welcome, sir! If you need anything, just call me!"
Yue Yi glanced at the bowls and chopsticks on the table and said, "Waiter, add another pair of bowls and chopsticks!"
The waiter was confused for a moment and then put another pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Yue Yi stood up and first poured a bowl of wine for Yan Yan, then poured another bowl and pushed it to an empty seat, and then poured a bowl for himself. After finishing, he took out a piece of broken jade pendant and placed it on the empty seat. He picked up the wine bowl and said to the empty seat: "Uncle Li, have a good trip!" After that, he drank the wine in one gulp. Yan Yan picked up the wine bowl, saluted the empty seat, and drank it all in one gulp...
The two of them just drank one bowl at a time, and I drank at the same time. When the food and wine were no longer available, I added them. Not long after, the table was already filled with wine bottles, but the two of them became more and more sober as they drank.
At this time, a woman covered in mud but with vaguely delicate facial features ran in, knelt at the table next to her and cried: "Master, please do me a favor and buy me for only ten taels of silver!"
The person next to me kicked him with disdain and said angrily: "Go! It affects my ability to eat!"
The woman begged for a while, but when she saw that the man was indifferent, she went to another table. She cried like pear blossoms and rain, which made people feel pity for her...
Yue Yi greeted the waiter and asked, "Xiao Er, what's going on?"
"Guest sir, they were originally a father and a daughter. They both fled from the north. I left not long after I arrived here. Hey, I have been hungry for several days. When I came to our southern Yunnan, I was like crazy. Yes, she grabbed the grass on the roadside and ate it, and she choked to death. This girl is also pitiful, she was in her prime, she escaped from her misfortune, her father died, we see her as pitiful and give her some leftovers every day, and she has survived to this day, and this woman also What a great filial piety. She is planning to sell her body to bury her father! Master, if it is convenient for you, please help her!" Seeing Yue Yi nodding, the waiter quickly called the girl over.
At this time, the girl had almost begged the entire liquor store, and ran over and was about to kneel down. Yue Yi said first: "Where is your father, take us there!" The little girl suddenly became happy, "Young Master, he is not far away. I come!"
The three of them arrived at a dilapidated mountain temple before walking far. Before they could walk in, a stench hit the ground. The two of them felt a little uncomfortable and followed in. They saw a corpse covered with a straw mat. The exposed feet were ulcerated. Yan Yan looked at the girl and asked, "What is your name?" The little girl trembled. Weiwei said: "My name is Hongxiu!" Yan Yan added: "Xiaoyue and I went to the market to buy some burial objects. Hongxiu, please wait here for us to come back!" Hongxiu looked disappointed and hurriedly replied: " Yes!" After saying that, the two of them walked towards the market.
"Xiaoyue, what do you think about Hongxiu? We are on the run, do you want to take her with you?"
"I don't know, but I think we can't watch a woman let her father's body be exposed and ruined the temple without any action. This is too cruel to both the living and the dead."
Yan Yan said: "Then have you thought about what to do in the future? In today's world, if a girl with a pretty face is left to fend for herself, she may become either a slave or a prostitute. She will not end well. You saved her." Has she ever thought that it might actually be possible to harm her!" Yue Yi looked in pain and thought for a long time but could not answer, and Yan Yan did not continue to press the question. Soon the two of them purchased a coffin, a hoe, incense, candles, paper money and other items. Following the store's delivery team, they rushed back.
When they were about to arrive at the mountain temple, Yue Yi was silent for a long time and finally spoke, "Uncle Yan, I've thought about it. The cause and effect of this matter has been planted since I intervened. If I do it halfway and then abandon it, it won't be right." My way, I will take responsibility, whether it is taking it with me, or arranging where to go, this is the cause and effect that I must resolve!" After hearing this, Yan Yan nodded and said nothing more.
After a while, everyone returned to the ruined temple. Hongxiu was very happy to see everyone coming back. She threw herself on Yue Yi and burst into tears. While crying, she said, "Master, I thought you didn't want me anymore!" Yue Yi patted her gently. Red sleeves on the back, comforting. Yan Yan also arranged for everyone to move Hong Xiu's old father into the coffin, and then led a few people to find an open space next to the mountain temple and dig up the grave.
The cemetery was dug in about half a day, and several people spent some time burying Hongxiu's father. At this time, Hongxiu had already burst into tears. Yan Yan asked Hongxiu, "What is your father's name?" Hongxiu raised her head and replied intermittently: "I only know that the surname is Jia, Xibeijia! By the way, people in the village used to call him Jia Laoer!" After hearing this, Yan Yan shook his head, took out a carving knife and carved on the stone tablet, Jia Er's tomb.
In this sad era, sad people don't even deserve a name.
It was already evening after all this was done. Although the helpers were extremely disgusted while working, they took the money and left happily. The three of them gathered around the firewood and ate the cooking cakes brought back from the market. Although the conditions were simple, they were still harmonious.
Yan Yan said, "We have to go south at dawn tomorrow. Hongxiu, you can find a job by yourself!"
After hearing this, Hong Xiu burst into tears. She grabbed Yue Yi's clothes and said, "Sir, don't drive me away. I'm willing to do anything. Really, I'm willing to do anything!"
Yue Yi looked at Hongxiu who was crying again, then looked at Yan Yan, understood what he meant, and comforted him, "Okay, okay, I won't drive you away, you can follow."
After hearing this, Hong Xiu immediately stopped crying and laughed happily. However, what no one noticed was that when she lowered her head to wipe her tears, a discordant smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, just like a child who falsely accused her parents of a neighbor when she was a child and succeeded. The same, revealing a sense of pride.
The three of them walked and made trouble along the way. With the addition of Hongxiu, the journey of the two grown men became more colorful. Hongxiu washed off the dirt on his body and put on clean clothes, and his delicate face was revealed. At first, Hong Xiu was very reserved due to her fear of Yan Yan, but after a few days of getting to know each other, her girlish form was revealed. Sometimes she picked wild flowers to give to the two of them, and sometimes she chased butterflies and was thrown around. The originally dull journey has been filled with a happy atmosphere.
The three of them traveled all the way, and a month later they finally arrived at Spring City, an important town known as the southern gate of Central Continent. After the three of them entered the city, Xiao Hongxiu was extremely excited, looking here and touching there, looking innocent and innocent.
After asking for directions several times, the three of them arrived at the destination of their trip, Li Mansion. Yan Yan led the two of them to the side door on the left and knocked on the door with the knocker. After a while, an old man with a disabled right hand came out of the door. He took a look at Yan Yan and led the three of them into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, the old man knelt down and saluted and said, "The Yue Family Army once sat down with Li Sheng from Shen Gong Camp to see the military advisor!"
Yan Yan quickly helped the old man up and said, "Master Sheng, you taught me how to draw a bow back then. How can I bear this gift from you!"
Li Sheng burst into tears and said, "A military advisor is a military advisor, no matter where he is." Yan Yan comforted him a few more words, and after his mood stabilized, he asked, "Is Commander Li in the house?"
Li Sheng said: "Li Shuai has gone to patrol the border, but I have sent someone to call him. He will be back soon. Go to the inner hall to rest for a while. The young master has been practicing martial arts since he left the Zhulin Villa. It has already happened within a thousand steps." Wu Xufa, we are not far from the senior archer. He will definitely be happy when he knows you are coming." After saying that, he ordered his servants to call.
Yan Yan and Li Sheng happily chatted about their past life in the military camp and the embarrassing stories of their brothers in the past, sometimes laughing, sometimes with red eyes. Yes, many of the former brothers are now buried in foreign lands, and those who were not killed in battle are now scattered all over the place. It is difficult to get together again. How can we not be touched by the scene?
Just as the two were chatting heatedly, an arrow flew from a distance. Yan Yan smiled, raised his right hand slightly, caught it with two fingers, and then said towards the direction of the arrow: "Xiao Li." Lin dares to shoot the teacher, but dare not come to see the teacher?"
After the words came out, a young man with thick arms rushed over, ran to Yan Yan, knelt down quickly, and said with tears in his eyes, "Teacher, it's been half a year since we were separated, you are in good health!"
Yan Yan held Li Lin's arms and said in a loud voice, "Okay, okay! I haven't seen him for half a year, and he's gotten a lot stronger!"
"That's right! I have worked hard in the past six months and always remember your teachings. Now my archery skills are very good. My father said that my achievements can surpass my uncle Rong!" Speaking of Li Rong, both of them were silent. .
I remember that at the Shanhaiguan Pass, Li Rong stood on the gate with a hard bow in hand, and with his talisman and arrow skills, he directly pointed at the barbarian siege army. He shot so bloody and brave that the barbarians were afraid. Siege to death. It's really sad.
At this time, Li Lin looked at Hongxiu next to him and his eyes suddenly shone, and he said: "Brother Yi, who is this girl? She is so beautiful." Yue Yi said: "I met her on the road and came from the north to escape. "My father passed away on the way. He met us on the road, so he took it with him." Li Lin looked aside and asked, "Where is Master Li? Have you gone to buy wine again? We have everything at home. You can drink as much as you want with him!”
Yue Yi was silent for a while and didn't know how to answer. Yan Yan said: "When we were retreating, we were surrounded by hidden guards. In order to buy us time, Ali fought three of us one by one. In the end, he was so frustrated that he insisted on breaking the mirror. He killed them instead, but he was exhausted..."
"Exhausted? Just lie down for a few more days and you'll be fine. I'll call him wherever he is!" Li Lin said excitedly.
At this time, Li Sheng punched Li Lin on the head and said angrily, "If you are exhausted, you will never wake up! Why are you making such a fuss here, you bastard!"
Li Lin was stunned on the spot. After a while, he burst into tears and collapsed on the ground, shouting silently, Master Li! Everyone's eyes were red when they saw it. Li Sheng was about to kick Li Lin when Yan Yan stopped him and said, "Xiao Lin's archery was taught by Ali step by step. At that time, their relationship was the best. Xiao Lin was particularly attached to Ali. I drag him every day and ask him to teach archery...Hey, let him cry for a while, it will be over."
At this time, a general came in. He glanced at Li Linshang who was crying on the ground and shouted, "You brat, do you have any manners? Why are you so ugly?"
Li Lin raised his head and stood up and said, "Dad, Master Li is dead!" It turned out to be Li Zhong, the head of the Li family and the marshal of Zhennan at the time. Li Zhong put away his anger, took Li Lin's shoulders and said, "Your master left after showing his strength. You must work hard in the future and don't embarrass your master!"
Li Lin wiped his tears and his face returned to a resolute look, "I know, Dad!" When Yue Yi saw Li Zhong coming, he quickly pulled his red sleeves to salute, "Uncle Li!" Li Sheng patted Yue Yi's hand. Shoulder said: "It turns out to be Xiao Yue, he has grown so big in the blink of an eye." After a moment of feeling, he said, "Do you know your fate? Okay, there is a successor to the Yue Family Army!"
Yan Yan clasped his fists and said, "Li Shuai, it's been a long time!"
Li Zhong took Yan Yan's hands and said, "Commander, you miss me so much. You're starving to death when you go to eat!"
At the dinner table, after they had had enough wine and food, Yue Yi and others had already left, leaving only Yan Yan and Li Zhong. Yan Yan said, "Brother Zhong, what's the situation over there in Nanzhou?"
Li Zhong looked at Yan Yan doubtfully and said, "Nanzhou? Nanzhou is now controlled by three large ethnic groups, namely the Peng tribe, the Peacock tribe, and the Eagle tribe. The eastern part is the territory of the Peng tribe, the central part is the Peacock tribe, and the western part is the Eagle tribe." The Peng Clan, the Peng Clan, and the Peacock Clan are beautiful. The Peng Clan and the Eagle Clan both want to marry them, and the talent of the Peacock Clan happens to restrain the two races, so the Peacock Clan takes advantage of the situation and reluctantly combines the other two races. From time to time I came to our Central Continent to fight the Grass Valley, but since our Divine Bow Army came and fought several times, they became afraid and did not cross the border so blatantly. What's wrong? You don't want to take Xiaoyue to Nanzhou, do you? ? Now that you have come to Southern Yunnan, you will live well. With my Divine Bow Army here, I will see who dares to come!"
"Brother Zhong, it's not that I don't want to be with Brother Zhong, it's just that if I don't see the world, Xiaoyue will grow up too slowly. We can afford to wait, but the world can no longer afford to wait!" Li Zhong sighed: " This ruined dynasty! Since you are going, let me give you a boost! Do you still remember the original Demon Clan Scout Department?"
"Eagle Clan?"
"Yes, the Eagle Clan was originally one of the four major families in Nanzhou. After the Demon Clan vented its anger and slaughtered a group of strong men, now it can only survive. Take this jade pendant. Ying Jiu's soul pendant will be infused into it. He will feel the energy and blood, but be careful, they are only cooperating with us secretly, and on the surface they are still the scout department of the demon clan. When the time comes, you can contact him directly." Li Zhong took out a jade pendant and put it on the table.
Yan Yan put it away and said, "Thank you very much, Brother Zhong!"
"We brothers are still talking about this? Come and drink!" So the two of them started drinking again.
