Li Fenglan told everyone about the festival, and then started to make arrangements. The Xianren Hall had just been renovated not long ago, and Li Fenglan decided to go to Yaoxian Valley, so he didn't prepare any surplus food. Grandma Mei and Xiao Junhao happened to be here. They will stay here permanently in the future and took this opportunity to purchase some necessary supplies.
Li Fenglan and Feicui drove to Luoyang City and bought some rice, flour, grain, oil, and other things for the festival. Amber helped Granny Mei and Zhu Mingyu make some food for the festival. Xiao Junhao packed up a study room for himself and organized the existing resources of the Xianren Hall into files.
It was getting late, and Li Fenglan and Feicui drove their carriage slowly toward the Hall of Leisure. The carriage was full of things, so Li Fenglan also sat outside the carriage, side by side with Jade.
Jade looked at the sunset and said, "You seem to have never asked about Master Shen of Thorn Sect."
Li Fenglan asked: "Who to ask?"
Jade shrugged: "You are always so confident. You don't know whether you are a friend or an enemy, so you just listen to what others say."
Li Fenglan said: "I feel like they are friends."
"Is there any reason?"
"Old Sect Leader Qiao was for us back then, and the successor he chose will not be detrimental to us."
"In eighteen years, everything may change."
"Jade, why do you always think about the worst?"
"Because you always think well and never think about what will happen if you think wrong."
"Don't worry, I have considered these things."
Li Fenglan stood up and stretched. Jade looked at Li Fenglan's stretched waist and pretty face with a lazy expression, and she suddenly thought: We are all grown up girls.
Li Fenglan noticed Jade's eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"When you were little... your legs were very short."
Li Fenglan knelt down and pinched Jade's neck: "Don't talk nonsense! My legs have always been long!"
Li Fenglan was even lazier than Amber when it came to practicing martial arts. It wasn't until she was ten years old that she reluctantly started practicing martial arts. From the first day she started practicing martial arts, Chen Yi had a headache. She has no way of understanding those simple moves, and she has no talent in internal skills. Just when Chen Yi was about to give up teaching her martial arts, Li Fenglan showed her extraordinary talent in Qinggong.
Before learning Qing Gong, Li Fenglan was a little... chubby, at least there was more flesh on her face than jade or amber.
It seems that Li Fenglan has grown up after just two years of learning Kungfu. He has grown as fast as wheat that has passed the winter. At the age of fifteen, he was already the height of an adult, a whole head taller than Jade. After that, Li Fenglan suddenly stopped growing, so much so that Jade now surpassed her by one forehead.
Her legs also seemed to grow longer. From the small fleshy legs when she was ten years old to the long and slender embroidered legs now - Jade actually doesn't like Qing Gong very much. She always feels that when it comes to fighting, just fight openly and openly. What's the use of Qing Gong? Until the age of fifteen, the three of them were playing in Chaolan Lake. Feicui saw Li Fenglan's slender and well-proportioned legs... From then on, she started practicing Qinggong like crazy.
Jade ignored Li Fenglan's hands pinching her neck, and tapped Li Fenglan's ribs with her backhand, causing Li Fenglan to moan in pain.
"Ouch! Jade! Why do you exert so much effort?"
"It doesn't take much force... Li Fenglan, the spot I touched just now will hurt when most people are touched. Even if you don't know martial arts, if you use a little force, it will hurt so much that you can't use your strength."
Li Fenglan rubbed her ribs and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"It's impossible for Amber and I to stay with you all the time," Jade said without any expression on her face, "If... one day you are in danger, and Amber and I are not here, you can use this trick... Ah! You will die. !Why are you poking me?!"
Li Fenglan smiled proudly: "The effect is pretty good."
Jade pressed Li Fenglan under her body, and pressed her ribs with her left index finger. Li Fenglan felt itchy and painful, but could not break away from Jade, so she could only keep wailing: "It hurts, it hurts! I was wrong! Stop! Sister Jade" !I was wrong!"
In fact, Li Fenglan's heart is quite warm. Jade is not good at talking and keeps the good and the bad in her heart. Being able to teach her some self-defense skills in this way is the limit of what Jade can express.
…
There is an unwritten rule in the martial arts world. Unless there is a big grudge, one should not seek revenge during the New Year or the holidays. Even among the killers of Yeyu Xiaozhu, some of them have families. They need to make money, protect their lives, and live a good life.
Since Changfeng Tower sent people out of the valley, most of the world has been in tension. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a rare moment of respite.
The Bai family sent people to send some festive gifts. In line with the principle of reciprocity, Li Fenglan also asked Mu Yun and Zhu Mingyu to bring some gifts to the Bai family. Afterwards, Peregrine Falcon Xiaohui arrived with greetings from Mo Changfeng, and Li Fenglan wrote a letter back saying that everything was fine. A group of people spent the festival happily in the leisure hall.
It was almost midnight, and the Xianren Hall was silent. The remaining warmth of the festival had not yet passed. Li Fenglan, Jade, and Amber were sitting on the roof of the hall, looking at the bright moon in the sky.
The heat has not gone away, but the weather is a little cooler at night. Jade and Amber's cheeks were red. During the dinner, the two of them drank several glasses of wine. The girls were too drunk and tipsy. Li Fenglan hated wine. She didn't drink it, but she didn't eat anything either.
Amber dragged her chin and said sadly: "I miss Aunt Zhou, Uncle Zhou, the Valley Master, and Fu Xiaohu and the others."
Li Fenglan said: "It's okay. It won't take long for us to solve all the troubles, and then we can meet them."
Jade took out a tips bag from her arms and handed it to Li Fenglan. Li Fenglan took it and asked, "What?"
"It's past midnight," Jade said, "It's your birthday."
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "I forgot about it."
In fact, she remembered that her birthday was on August 16th, just one day away from the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it was hard not to remember it. Every year, no matter who has a birthday, the other two sisters prepare gifts. In fact, among the three of them, except Jade, Li Fenglan and Amber's birthdays are calculated based on the day they enter the valley. Jade is March 3rd, Li Fenglan is August 16th, and amber is February 13th.
Li Fenglan opened the jade bag and found two bells inside. The gift was not expensive.
Jade said: "You have worn those two on your feet for eight years."
Li Fenglan couldn't wait to remove the two bells on her feet and replaced them with the ones Jade gave her. These two bells are larger than the previous ones. As people grow up, they naturally need to be replaced with larger ones.
After changing the bell, Li Fenglan stretched out her feet in front of Jade and asked, "Does it look good?"
Jade slapped her feet away and said disgustedly: "Who wants to see your feet?"
Li Fenglan stretched out a hand towards Hu Bo and asked with a smile: "Hu Bo, where's yours?"
Amber had an innocent smile on her face, and combined with the blush on her cheeks and the moonlight in the sky, Amber looked like a mischievous kitten.
"I'm ready too." Amber said, taking out a jewelry box from her arms.
The shape of the jewelry box is very exquisite, I guess it cost a lot of money. Amber went out by herself two days ago, and probably went to Luoyang City to buy this thing.
Li Fenglan opened the jewelry box. Inside was an amber pendant, tied with a black jade rope. Li Fenglan raised the amber pendant and pointed it at the moon. The moonlight penetrates into the pendant, and a seven-star ladybug comes to life in the pendant. She happily hung the pendant around her neck and asked Amber, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good. I picked it."
The three of them were talking and laughing on the roof. Half an hour later, Jade and Amber were sleepy and wanted to go back to their room to rest. Li Fenglan was not tired, she wanted to sit for a while longer.
Looking at the backs of Jade and Amber, Jade has the hairpin she gave her on her head, and Amber wears the silver bracelet she gave her on her wrist.
"That's great," Li Fenglan whispered, "I'll do this again in the future..."
…
The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, and those who are kind should repay kindness, and those who have hatred should seek revenge.
…
Xu Qingchen had recovered from his injuries and originally planned to go to Luzhou alone to investigate Ye Yu Xiaozhu, but Zhang Yuan and his wife were worried about his safety and insisted on going together.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuan and his wife were going to Yaoxian Valley to seek medicine, and happened to pass by Luzhou.
Jin Huayan was in poor health and suffered from injuries. After the two got married, they have been traveling around the country in search of elixirs. From Mobei to the grasslands, from overseas to the Central Plains, they have been to many places over the years. I have been to Yaoxian Valley before. The miracle doctor in Yaoxian Valley said that Jin Huayan was born with a defective constitution and could only be nursed back to health, but could not be cured.
A few days ago, Yaoxian Valley posted a hero post, saying that they were looking for two snowdrops in the Western Region, and wanted to hold a competition, and the winner would get one. The remaining one will be put up for public auction, and the one with the highest price will get it.
Snow lotus has the effect of nourishing and strengthening the body. Zhang Yuan wanted to get snow lotus to enhance his wife's physical fitness.
Xu Qingchen repaid his kindness. Zhang Yuan and his wife saved his life. He thought he should do something.
"After arriving in Luzhou, I will investigate on my own. If nothing is found within three days, we will go to Yaoxian Valley," Xu Qingchen followed the carriage on horseback and said, "If I die unfortunately, please leave Luzhou as soon as possible." .”
Zhang Yuan laughed "haha": "Brother Qingchen, don't say unlucky words, brother, I believe you will find out something."
Jin Huayan sighed and said: "Brother Qingchen, my sister-in-law advises you not to investigate. No one knows how many killers there are in Yeyu Xiaozhu. Revenge can be considered in the long run and cannot be done quickly."
"Thank you sister-in-law," Xu Qingchen said, "I understand this, but I am new to the world and have no connections, so I can only use this stupid method."
Zhang Yuan didn't want to discuss this topic. He had a straightforward temper and would not persuade people who couldn't be persuaded, so he turned a corner and said to Jin Huayan: "My family, do you think brother Qingchen and our Linghan are the same?" Isn’t it a good match?”
Jin Huayan thought for a while and replied: "That girl Linghan has a straightforward and simple personality, which is fine."
Xu Qingchen looked embarrassed. This couple really liked playing matchmaker.
Zhang Yuan said to Xu Qingchen: "Linghan is my junior sister. Our Tianquan sect is not prosperous, and in my lifetime we only have two disciples. A few years ago, I got married and the master was no longer here. The younger junior sister made her own way in the world. We haven’t seen each other for two years. Let me tell you, my junior sister..."
Xu Qingchen stopped hastily: "Brother Zhang, I'm alone. I have no fame and no talent. I'm afraid I won't be worthy."
Just when Zhang Yuan was about to say something, Jin Huayan rushed to say, "Don't embarrass brother Qingchen. We have never met. You also know the temper of that girl Linghan. She is well-behaved when she behaves well. If you meet someone with a bad temper, It won't work if you hold a knife to her."
Zhang Yuan said unconvinced: "Elder brother is like father, she dare not listen to me."
Jin Huayan made a "cheer" sound and said: "Who listens to whom? You said yourself that you have never dared to speak loudly in front of Linghan since you were a child. You don't have the airs of a senior brother at all."
Zhang Yuan said embarrassedly: "That was only when I was a child. Linghan will still listen to me when she grows up..." The voice became smaller and smaller, and Xu Qingchen smiled. Although Zhang Yuan looked like a big and thick man, under the junior junior sister He didn't know what was going on in front of him, at least he didn't say anything harsh in front of his wife.
Seeing Xu Qingchen's smile, Zhang Yuan said to him: "Brother Qingchen, men, don't worry about women, it's boring."
Jin Huayan stretched out her hand from the carriage and grabbed Zhang Yuan's ear, saying, "How dare you care about something."
"Don't dare." He begged for mercy hurriedly.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and the journey was not boring.
