Since Zheng Xiu was involved in the cannibal painting, a lot of things have happened and he has had a lot of time.
During the more than two months of vacationing in Yunhe Village, Zheng Xiu woke up every day and was served by a personal maid, which made him dream of a rich life. However, the noisy bandits outside instantly shattered his dream of being rich and reminded him of himself. situation.
All along, Zheng Xiu has been telling himself that everything in the world in the painting is false, and the only ones that are real are him, Feng Bei, and the monk.
But recently, gradually, perhaps even Zheng Xiu himself didn't realize that he was doubting this.
Or maybe he is subconsciously thinking about a more profound philosophical question - what is a human being.
But a strange sound behind him immediately made the new philosopher offline.
"Sir, ah...slow down, slow down...um..."
Zheng Xiu was riding, the horse was running, and the people on the horse were bouncing up and down.
Bumping and bumping, Xiaotao finally couldn't help but put her trembling hands around Zheng Xiu's waist, and her soft gasps made Zheng Xiu come back from his thoughts.
Zheng Xiu pulled the reins and slowed down, then glanced back at Xiao Tao in confusion.
That look seemed to say: Why are you panting when you have nothing to do?
Still um um ah ah ah.
If you want to pant, it's just a horse panting.
"I...I...Xiao Tao...Young Master...you..."
Xiaotao's hands bounced away like an electric shock. The young master's gaze made her misunderstand that her actions were too violent and made the young master feel uncomfortable.
When Zheng Xiu saw Xiao Tao's panicked movements, he immediately understood and understood. Then he took Xiaotao's sleeve and put it on his waist: "Hold on tight, don't fall."
Xiaotao was flattered, and the tears that had just appeared suddenly burst into tears. She burst into tears and smiled. She lowered her head and responded sweetly: "Yeah~"
Zheng Xiu led his horse to catch up with Xie Luohe.
They had already moved away from Yunhe Village.
It was nearly dusk.
At noon, I ate some cold, hard steamed buns to cope with the meal.
Bumping, rushing, hungry. What he experienced during this half day reminded Zheng Xiu of a word - "displaced". At the same time, I also lamented that this might be Jianghu.
The seemingly glamorous knight-errant, no matter how embarrassed he is on the road, must first wash himself and change his clothes before appearing in front of others, so that he can appear in splendor.
If only I could fly.
Zheng Xiu misses the "bird in prison" very much at this moment. Zheng Xiu didn't cherish the bird when it was there, and only regretted it after losing it.
Xieluohe seemed very silent along the way, riding his horse forward at a leisurely pace.
Zheng Xiu followed closely, his eyes fixed on "Feng Bei's" buttocks that tilted back when lying down, and he was lost in thought.
He suddenly remembered that he had been with Feng Bei all the way as "Zheng Shan", and it was he who supported Feng Bei.
Watching "Fengbei" ride a horse is a very novel experience.
After nightfall.
Zheng Xiu and the other three finally came across a deserted teahouse on the roadside.
Looking from a distance, the teahouse is leaky and full of holes, making it leaky from wind and rain.
The tea house is run by a family of three.
A young man with handsome features and a sharp camera, with a sweat towel on his shoulders, waved to the three of them from a distance.
Xie Luohe dismounted first, and the young man took the initiative to hold the horse rope for Xie Luohe and tied it to a tree trunk nearby.
There are several trees next to the tea house, and the bark of the trees has left many marks of varying depths.
Because it had just snowed in the morning, the soil was moist, leaving many messy horse hooves and footprints on the soft sand.
When Zheng Xiu helped Xiao Tao off the horse, Xiao Tao was limping with a red face.
Although "horse shaking" with the young master is both exciting and embarrassing, it still hurts when it should hurt.
The word "Ma Zhen" was used as a joke by the young master when he was idle on the road, but Xiao Tao obviously didn't find it funny at all. He just said that he was jumping up and down on the horse. "Ma Zhen" was very appropriate. He was worthy of being a well-read poet. Young Master.
Be literate.
This is the first time Xiao Tao has stepped out of Yunhe Village with Xie Luohe after going up the mountain. Jianghu is a completely unfamiliar new world to her. Even riding a horse is a big challenge.
Even though Zheng Xiu was the richest man in his "last life", he is a scholar in "this life" and has nothing to do with the "jianghu" thing. However, Zheng Xiu gained a lot of experience by going out with Ye Weiyang twice to attend weddings.
Looking down at the footprints on the ground, Zheng Xiu frowned and looked at Xie Luohe. Just when he was about to step forward and whisper a few words, Xie Luohe shook his head at him: "Shut up, don't make any noise."
Zheng Xiu shut up obediently.
After entering the teahouse, the young man diligently wiped the tables and stools. A middle-aged couple came to the kitchen. The woman was a mature woman, and she still looked like she had in the past. The man had a fat belly and looked kind-hearted.
"This heroine, this girl, this gentleman, are you hungry? Do you want to eat some good braised pork?"
Xie Luohe happily ordered a pot of hot tea, three bowls of ginger soup, and a portion of braised pork.
This is obviously a shop run by a family of three.
At this time, Zheng Xiu slapped his forehead in frustration: "Oops!"
Xie Luohe and Xiaotao looked at Zheng Xiu at the same time.
Zheng Xiu lowered his voice: "I forgot to bring Kuai Zi!"
Xiao Tao asked curiously: "Master, why do you want to take care of Kuaizi yourself?"
Xie Luohe put his luggage at his feet and said calmly: "Xiao Tao, don't pay attention to him, he's so nagging."
Zheng Xiu asked Xie Luohe, "Aren't you worried?"
Xie Luohe smiled half-heartedly: "What am I worried about?"
Xiao Tao gently tugged on Zheng Xiu's sleeve under the table, blinking her innocent big eyes.
"let me tell you……"
Zheng Xiu looked at Xie Luohe proudly, waved to Xiao Tao, raised his palm and whispered in Xiao Tao's ear.
He clearly knew that Xie Luohe had good hearing, but he felt lonely after hearing this whisper.
But Xiaotao doesn't know.
I have to find a way to make Feng Bei angry.
Make you mad.
So exciting.
"I'm telling you..."
Zheng Xiu was about to say the classic "white meat" allusion, when the young man came up with a plate.
"Hot tea! Ginger soup! Braised pork! Come on! Three guests, please use it slowly!"
"Slow down!" Xie Luohe smiled and gently placed two copper coins on the table: "Ask for some news. You have heard something recently. Feel free to say anything."
The boy excitedly put away the two copper coins and said two things quickly.
First, there were rogue bandits in the north. Several villages were missing due to unknown rogue bandits, and some survivors fled to the south.
The second is that recently there have been a lot of gangsters who are wielding swords and guns riding fast horses north along this road, and they don't look easy to mess with.
Xieluohe pressed two more copper coins.
The young man swallowed his saliva and said one more thing.
Ten days ago, a group of Daqian soldiers wearing thick armor hurried northward and did not stop at the tea house.
Xie Luohe: "No more?"
The young man shook his head nervously: "No more."
Xie Luohe smiled: "Exchange for a pot of tea."
The young man was stunned.
Xie Luohe explained: "The tea has cooled down. Get another pair of clean kuaizi."
"okay!"
The young man happily carried the teapot in with a few copper coins and changed it.
Xiaotao was also hungry and panicked, but the eldest lady and the young master didn't move quickly, so she didn't dare to move. She stared eagerly at the kuaizi and braised pork on the table, smelling the ginger soup, and swallowed her saliva.
Soon another pot of hot tea was presented, steam sizzling out from the spout.
"This beautiful sister, if you want a fast son, make sure it is washed very clean!"
What he meant was that Xie Luohe disliked Kuaizi for being dirty.
"Yeah."
Xie Luohe raised two kuaizi and waved them in front of the young man's eyes, and asked with a smile: "What are these."
The young man was stunned: "Kuai Zi, clean Kuai Zi."
Xie Luohe flicked his wrist.
Uh-huh.
The two tachyons landed on the ground and passed through the boy's two soles respectively, nailing his two soles to the ground.
The young man lowered his head and stared stupidly at the protruding tachyon tips on the soles of his feet. He even moved his toes, thinking it was an illusion.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
It wasn't until ten seconds later that the boy screamed and squatted down. Because his two feet were nailed to death by tachyons, he subconsciously wanted to roll over, but the pain made him sweat whenever he moved.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Don't dare!"
The boy cried loudly, and the screams frightened Xiao Tao to turn pale.
Zheng Xiu sighed softly, moved his stool, covered Xiao Tao's eyes, and said, "Don't look at it, kid."
"Baby!"
The woman suddenly pulled out a bright knife from behind the counter, crying and trying to rush forward to fight for her life: "He is still a child!"
Xie Luohe calmly took a sip of hot tea, but casually grasped the other two quills in his other hand.
Unexpectedly, the man slapped the woman to the ground. Blood spilled from the corner of the woman's mouth and she rolled to the corner. The man knelt down in front of Xie Luohe with all his strength, his head dropped, and he said loudly: "Woman, spare your life! The little family has too much eyesight to recognize heroes! Please let the three heroes spare the little family!"
Xie Luohe drank the scalding tea in the cup and raised Kuaizi.
The man turned pale.
Zheng Xiu sighed softly: "Forget it, Luohe."
Xie Luohe raised Kuaizi's hand and turned to look at Zheng Xiu with a smile: "What did you call me just now?"
"Lo River, Xie Luo River."
"Oh, are you admitting defeat?"
Zheng Xiu spread his hands: "Then you kill him."
Xie Luohe put down Kuaizi: "I don't want to."
After saying that, he slapped his right palm on the table, and the tachyon stuck in the child's two feet suddenly popped out, shot through the roof and disappeared.
This move of a hand that was as light as heavy made the men and women terrified. They had never seen such miraculous Kung Fu.
"If treated in time, it won't hurt the muscles and bones. If you let me know that you do these things again, I will kill you without mercy."
The man cried loudly and promised repeatedly: "I don't dare anymore! I don't dare anymore!"
After saying that, he picked up the young man and crawled and rolled away from the tea house with the woman.
After the family left, Xie Luohe calmly poured himself another cup of hot tea.
At this time, Zheng Xiu let go of Xiao Tao's eyes and asked in surprise: "Isn't the tea poisonous?"
"No, it's just drug addiction." Xie Luohe drank another glass and said with a smile, "It's quite sweet."
"Then..." Zheng Xiu pointed to the ginger soup and braised pork.
Xie Luohe ignored Zheng Xiu and looked at Xiao Tao, who was still in shock: "They only drugged the tea. The ginger soup and braised pork are fine. Don't worry about eating it."
Zheng Xiu asked in confusion: "Can this meat be eaten?"
Xie Luohe chuckled: "Don't you think this is human flesh?"
Zheng Xiu: "Isn't it?"
Xiaotao had just sandwiched a piece. When he heard the conversation between the two, his face turned pale with fright, he retched, and the piece of meat in the kuaizi fell on the table.
Xie Luohe slapped the table and laughed so hard: "I can't tell the difference. You are just dreaming. How can there be so many people who dare to cook white meat?"
Zheng Xiu picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth to cover up his embarrassment at being ridiculed by Xie Luohe.
There were only three of them left in the teahouse, which was quite quiet. After almost eating, Xie Luohe curiously asked Zheng Xiu how he could tell that something was wrong with this teahouse.
"Footprints." Zheng Xiu picked his teeth after eating, and explained with a smile: "There are a lot of footprints and horse hoof prints left in front of the tea house. There are too many in and out, so I think there is something wrong."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tao's eyes gleamed and she clapped her hands desperately: "Young Master is so awesome."
Xie Luohe got up and checked the layout of the teahouse. There was a small, airtight room with a stove and dry firewood inside. Xie Luohe listened for a moment and said:
"It will snow again soon. They should not dare to come back. Let's rest here tonight."
At night.
Sure enough, just as Xie Luohe said, it snowed heavily again shortly after nightfall.
These ears are fucking awesome.
Zheng Xiu secretly thought that this was outrageous.
He went out and led the two horses into the teahouse, found a post and tied the reins tightly, and found some bundles of hay outside the house and piled them under the horses' buttocks to prevent the two little cute horses from freezing to death. After settling the horses, Xiao Tao had already taken out three thick blankets from her luggage and arranged them neatly around the stove when she returned to the inner room.
Xie Luohe was leaning against the wall, eyes closed, breathing smoothly. When Zheng Xiu walked in, Xie Luohe opened his eyes and looked towards Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao held a folded fan in both hands and handed it to Zheng Xiu: "Sir, this is the miss. The miss gave it to you."
Even she didn't notice it. Her voice was sour when she said this, as if she was jealous.
Zheng.
Zheng Xiu did not refuse, let alone ask any more questions. After gradually getting used to the line of Xie Luohe's domineering female president, she was quite happy. The paper fan is very heavy to buy, and the fan bones are made of fine iron. Zheng Xiu shook the paper fan open, and there were four wild words written on it - "Freedom in the World".
Huh?
Suddenly, Zheng Xiu's eyes twitched: "Xiao Buping's fan?"
Xie Luohe raised his eyes and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No. Anyway, you will definitely say that everything in Yunhe Village belongs to you, and you can give it to whomever you want." Zheng Xiu complained.
Xiao Tao was dumbfounded.
Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be what the eldest lady would say.
Sir, why are you so familiar with the eldest lady?
Xie Luohe also looked startled when she heard this. What she wanted to say was actually said by Zheng Xiu first, leaving her speechless and she immediately turned her head gloomily.
Xie Luohe told Zheng Xiu that there is a clever device on the inside of the fan bone. When pressed, the fan bone will shoot out steel needles. Each shuttle has twelve steel needles, which can shoot six shuttles for a total of seventy-two steel needles.
Zheng Xiu immediately asked: "How can I make up for it after all the shots are finished?"
Xie Luohe thought for a while and affirmed: "Pick it back from the corpse."
...so frustrating.
Originally Zheng Xiu thought Xiao Buping's move was a bit cool, but after listening to Xie Luohe's words, the image of the martial arts knight in Zheng Xiu's heart plummeted again, and he was not as good as a thaumaturgist.
Zheng Xiu didn't want it, and he always felt weird. The iron fan scholar Xiao Buping who stole his wife was taken away by Xie Luohe and his famous weapon now fell into the hands of Zheng Xiu... Zheng Xiu always felt that this relationship was weird, and it seemed that only Niutou Xiao was injured.
After riding on the horse for a day, Xiaotao fell into a deep sleep soon after. By the light of the fire, Zheng Xiu once again took out the so-called "hero post" to observe.
The content on the hero post is very formal, and to put it bluntly, it means one thing.
Time: The first day of March.
Location: Hidden Sword Villa.
Event: The owner of Hidden Sword Villa sincerely invites heroes from all over the world to hold a martial arts conference and rearrange the weapon list.
Of course, with Xie Luohe's talent, it was impossible for her to be interested in the ranking of weapons.
She has long said that the reason why she is at the fiftieth rank in the weapon spectrum is because she only wants to be at the fiftieth rank.
What matters is the last sentence.
After the martial arts competition, the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa, Dugu Xiang, who is recognized by the martial arts as "the best sword in the world", will publicly display the "plum blossom" he accidentally obtained to the top ten martial arts masters in the new weapon spectrum. "Proud Snow Picture", let's explore the secrets of Duke Nie's treasure house together.
The picture of plum blossoms and snow is the winter picture among the four seasons pictures!
It was actually in the hands of Dugu Xiang.
No wonder Xie Luohe took the initiative. She has been waiting these days for news from Sijitu.
Zheng Xiu stared at every word on the hero post.
The invitation is to the Sierra Leone.
But Zheng Xiu always felt that something was wrong. Since the appearance of the Imperial Master, first Gongsun Mo was born, then Chu Chengfeng robbed the prison car, they were robbed by Xie Luohe, and then the Plum Blossom Aoxue Tu was born.
Grandpa's four seasons map seemed to have grown legs. It was scattered all over the place and held in the hands of different people. Now it seems to have seen a ghost and is gathered together by various chances and coincidences.
coincide?
Zheng Xiu didn’t believe it. He rubbed the knot between his brows and fell into deep thought.
suddenly.
A cold voice came from in front of Zheng Xiu: "What are you worried about?"
Zheng Xiu was shocked, raised his head, and looked at the person in front of him.
I saw "Xie Luohe" with a smile on his face, his right hair hanging down to cover his right eye, squatting in front of Zheng Xiu, and hiding his hands behind his back.
"It doesn't matter, I'm here."
Xie Luohe slowly stretched his right hand towards Zheng Xiu's face, but suddenly retracted it halfway.
Zheng Xiutong suddenly shrank: "Fengbei?"
