Xiang Yan said: "Fei Fei, the road we are taking now does not seem to be the way to Fuzhou." Qu Feiyan said: "We planned to go to Fuzhou before, and we planned to hide the fake "Evil Sword Manual" in the Lin family's old house, so that People from the Songshan Sect stole it away. But now the people from the Songshan Sect have gone to Fuzhou before us, and even captured Lin Zhennan, so why are we going to Fuzhou?"
Xiang Yan said: "Yeah, that's right. Then where are we going now?" Qu Feiyan said: "Let's go back to Songshan Mountain! Let's monitor the Songshan Sect nearby and see if there is any chance to give the fake sword manual to Zuo Lengchan."
More than one day later, the two of them came to the foot of Songshan Mountain. Qu Feiyan took Xiang Yan into the woods and arrived at another wooden house in the back mountain. The wooden house is at the foot of the mountain, and you can see the temple on the top of the mountain when you look up. There is a large open space in front of the house, surrounded by a wooden fence entangled with poisonous thorns.
Qu Feiyan proudly introduced to Xiang Yan: "I built this wooden house with my own hands. The open space in front is the place for practicing." Xiang Yan asked: "Why is there a wooden fence around it? Isn't this open space in vain? Has it become smaller?" Qu Feiyan said matter-of-factly: "Beware of wild beasts!" Xiang Yan was startled and asked: "Are there wild beasts here?" Qu Feiyan said: "Brother Yan, don't worry, it's very safe here. It's been safe here so far." There are no wild beasts to visit, so I built a wooden fence just to prevent problems in the bud.”
Xiang Yan asked again: "Why build the house at the foot of the mountain? Wouldn't it be more secluded if built on the top of the mountain?" Qu Feiyan said: "I also built a house on the top of the mountain. In winter, the stream on the top of the mountain freezes. It is inconvenient to get water when living on the top of the mountain. It will be more convenient to live here when the time comes. And I can't be a savage on the top of the mountain, right? I always have to go down the mountain to purchase supplies and find out information. It is also very tiring to go down from the top of the mountain and back to the top of the mountain. It would be nice to have a place to stay and rest in the middle.”
Xiang Yan nodded and said: "Yeah, that's right. We are really tired after traveling so much. It would be good to have a rest here." Qu Feiyan said: "Let's rest here for a few days to recuperate tomorrow. I'll take you to the top of the mountain in a few days." Xiang Yan asked again, "Is it safe here? Will anyone come looking for you?" Qu Feiyan smiled and said, "This is the back mountain, and the people who go up Songshan Mountain are all What are you doing here when you go to Shaolin Temple and Songshan Sect? Besides, we two are not big shots. Even if someone comes to the back mountain to see us, does he know who we are? "
Xiang Yan said, "That makes sense." He looked around again and said, "Feifei, didn't you say it's convenient to get water here? Why didn't I see a water source nearby?" Qu Feiyan pointed in the direction and said, "In this direction. There is a stream more than a mile away in that direction." Xiang Yan asked doubtfully, "Why should we build the house more than a mile away from the stream? Isn't it more convenient to build it next to the stream to get water?"
Qu Feiyan smiled and said: "If you build your house next to a stream, wouldn't it flood the house when it rains heavily in summer and the stream rises? The terrain here is the highest in the nearby area, and no matter how high the water is, it won't be able to flood it. . Besides, it’s only more than a mile away from the stream, not very far. And there’s a forest nearby. It’s also very convenient to go to the forest to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms or hunt some pheasants and rabbits in your free time.”
Xiang Yan smiled and said: "I see. I didn't expect that there are so many reasons for building a house in the wild. It's very thoughtful." Qu Feiyan also smiled and said: "This is nothing. Brother Yan, you have to live in the mountains for a few months. Once you have experience, you will understand.”
The two lived in the wooden house at the foot of the mountain for three days. After the fatigue subsided, Qu Feiyan took Xiang Yan to the top of the mountain and introduced to Xiang Yan the other wooden houses he had built. In addition to the wooden houses at the foot of the mountain, Qu Feiyan built four more wooden houses on the top and mountainside, and they were all very hidden.
Xiang Yan said, "Fei Fei, why did you build so many houses?" Qu Feiyan said, "The cunning rabbit still has three burrows. Is it normal for me to prepare a few more places to live?" Didn't say it out loud. Qu Feiyan said: "Brother Yan, what do you want to say?" Xiang Yan smiled and said: "I didn't want to say anything, I have nothing to say."
From then on, Xiang Yan and Qu Feiyan lived in seclusion in the back mountains of Songshan Mountain. This period of time was the most comfortable time Xiang Yan had ever lived in his life. Before his ascension, Xiang's family was not wealthy, and Xiang Yan could not taste meat once a month or two; after arriving in the world of The Deer and the Cauldron, Xiang Yan was worried every day that he would not be able to see the sun the next day; together with Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian When living, I live in fear every day for fear of offending these two evil stars.
Now I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and I have no shortage of money. When I touched the corpses in Shuiyue Temple, I found a large amount of money from the people of the Songshan sect, which is enough for the two of them for three to five years; there is nothing that can threaten the two of them. People or things--Although Qu Feiyan has a wanted order from the Five Immortals Sect on him, everyone who knows Qu Feiyan is very demonic. I'm sorry they don't dare to come to Songshan to look for people, but the Shaolin Temple and the Songshan Sect who live in Songshan No one in the crowd knew Qu Feiyan.
Xiang Yan just reads and practices martial arts with Qu Feiyan every day - Qu Feiyan lends Xiang Yan the "Secret Book of Five Poisons" to read, or walks in the mountains with Qu Feiyan, and their days are very leisurely.
