Chapter 1068: It’s Like Time Turns Back (Third Update)
The horse’s hooves stepped on the mountain road paved with stones, and there were withered yellow weeds on both sides of the road.
On both sides, there are cliffs towering into the clouds, like two palms that are about to come together.
On the cliffs, there are bare and jagged rocks.
In the narrowest place, when you look up, the sky above your head becomes a line.
"The landscapes in the north and south are different, which is a bit interesting." Luo Fengtang said.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips.
"The world is a big place with many wonders. One day in the future, when we don't have to work so hard, how about I take you to travel around the world?"
She sat on the horse, looking sideways. Look at him.
The wind in the canyon lifted her hair, her clothes fluttered, and her appearance was beautiful.
His eyes widened.
Longing is revealed in my heart.
“Seriously?” he asked.
She raised her eyebrows: "How could I fool you?"
"Our first stop is to herd horses and sheep outside Yanmen Pass. Okay?" she asked again.
He nodded vigorously: "It's a deal."
...
Ahead, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing.
The two quickly reined in the reins.
Luo Fengtang frowned: "What's going on?"
Yang Ruoqing raised her ears and pointed forward: "There's a fight ahead."
"I heard from Mr. Yan that horse thieves are infested in this area. Could it be that horse thieves are looting passing merchants?" she said.
When it comes to horse thieves, the word 'cruel' pops up in my mind.
These people are not horse thieves in the literal sense.
But some bandits on horseback.
According to Yan Huaian, these people come and go in a hurry, and no one knows where their den is.
They put on black clothes and covered their faces with black scarves, and they were the murderers who committed murder and looting.
And when they take off their black clothes and black faces, they might be honest people again.
They are cunning, vicious, and vengeful.
I once massacred a village.
If you can do your best not to provoke them, don’t provoke them.
"What should we do? Let's go?" Yang Ruoqing suggested.
Luo Fengtang frowned, showing some hesitation.
At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly came from the front.
"Help..."
They both tightened at the same time.
"Could it be...that woman in the teahouse?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage rushed over from the other side of the canyon.
It is indeed the car that was parked in front of the tea house earlier.
Behind the carriage, the group of people brought by the woman were fighting with a group of people dressed in black and riding horses.
"Qing'er, wait for me here, don't come over!"
Luo Fengtang confessed in a deep voice, clamped his legs on the horse's belly and rushed forward.
A man who seemed to be the leader of this group of horse thieves rushed towards the carriage with great speed.
The long knife in his hand was about to be stabbed into the carriage.
At this moment, there was a sudden neighing of a horse.
Immediately afterwards, a horse suddenly lifted its entire forelimb into the air, almost standing upright.
A figure jumped up from the horse.
Like a roc bird with spread wings, coming with strong wind.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
The riding crop in his hand whipped out, twisting and tearing the air, making a beeping sound.
Then, he whipped the leader of the horse thieves hard on the body.
Knock him to the ground and roll him a long way.
Luo Fengtang fell on the step of the carriage.
He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes met the frightened eyes of the woman in the carriage.
"Madam, are you okay?" he asked.
The moment the lady in the carriage saw Luo Fengtang, her pupils shrank violently. The whole person was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
Luo Fengtang didn't have time to ask more questions. He jumped down and chased the leader of the horse thieves.
With another whip, he snatched the long knife from the leader's hand and threw it several meters away.
The leader panicked and wanted to pick it up, but the next whip had arrived.
The leader's arm was slapped to the point where the skin was torn open.
The eyes exposed outside the black scarf were full of fear, and the leader whistled.
Not far away, his horse ran over with its hooves, and he got on the horse.
"Retreat!"
The horse thief fled, and in an instant he disappeared without a trace.
The madam's men wanted to give chase, but she stopped them.
"No need to chase, you can't catch me if you chase me," she said.
He ordered his men to stay where they were and to apply medicine to each other who was injured.
She herself walked towards Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing.
The woman's eyes fell directly on Luo Fengtang.
"Young man, thank you so much for saving my life!"
The woman was about to salute Luo Fengtang when she was held back by Luo Fengtang.
"You're welcome, madam, it's us who should say thank you."
Luo Fengtang said.
He glanced at Yang Ruoqing beside him, and then said:
"Earlier in the tea house, we were favored by Madam, and we didn't even have time to say thank you."
The woman was startled when she heard this.
A faint smile appeared on Huimei's face.
"Compared with this life-saving grace, my few pennies for tea are nothing!" she said.
Luo Fengtang grinned.
He had no experience in talking to women. After saying this, he didn't know how to continue the conversation.
But it’s okay, there’s still the lark Yang Ruoqing here!
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said to the woman: "Madam, are you going to pass through the Baiman Grand Canyon?"
The woman has been looking at Luo Fengtang.
The expression in his eyes is unpredictable.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's question, she noticed that there was a young girl beside this young man.
Madam’s eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing.
She showed a gentle smile, "No, we are not going through this canyon, but we are here to do something."
"Oh!" Yang Ruoqing nodded lightly.
"Dare you ask Madam if the matter is finished?" she asked again.
The woman shook her head: "We just arrived here when we encountered a horse thief."
Yang Ruoqing said: "We just want to go in. If the woman finds it convenient, we can go together and have someone to look after us on the way. "What do you think, madam?"
The woman did not respond immediately, but looked at Luo Fengtang again.
At first glance, she had an illusion.
It’s like turning back twenty years...
But now that she looked closely, her facial features and eyebrows were somewhat similar to the person in her memory.
But there are still some differences.
Is there really such a similar person in the world?
The woman smiled faintly: "Okay, let's go in together."
The woman ordered two of her men to follow them not far or near.
She herself carried a double-layered wooden box and walked deep into the canyon with Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.
"Young man, you saved my life. I haven't asked you for your surname yet."
On the way, the woman smiled and took the initiative to talk to Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang scratched his head.
"My surname is Luo, and my name is Fengtang." He said.
"Luo Fengtang?"
The woman pondered the name.
The begonia flowers in the wind are beautiful, elegant, yet heroic.
Good name.
