Chapter 161
Perhaps due to the exaggeration of parting emotions, it suddenly started to rain in the afternoon, and the rain gradually became heavier.
The road conditions gradually became muddy, and Jiang Shouzhong had to find a nearby cave to take shelter from the rain.
The cave is not very big. The ground is covered with a layer of dry grass and other plant fibers, as well as traces of bonfires. Apparently, people often use it to shelter from the wind and rain and serve as a temporary shelter.
Jiang Shouzhong pulled both horses into the cave - the horse that was not ridden before was secretly pulled by Meng Niang with demonic power, and followed Jiang Shouzhong and the others all the way.
Meng Niang was also a little tired because she had to carry two taels and lead the horses. After entering the cave, she chose a quiet corner and began to practice meditation to restore her energy.
"How about it? I think my riding skills are great."
Yelu Miaomiao gently stroked the smooth and silky mane of the white horse she was riding, and smiled at Jiang Shouzhong who was lighting a fire. road.
Jiang Shouzhong ignored her.
“Oh, don’t be so stingy, I didn’t mean to tease you.”
Yelu Miaomiao gently took off the disguise covering her face, walked lightly to the bonfire and sat down. The hair that was wetted by the rain clung to the girl's fair and beautiful cheeks, which was particularly beautiful.
Jiang Shouzhong said calmly: "A girl who is so skilled in riding skills, riding on the official road, and also using some of your Yanrong's unique riding skills, is not afraid that others will know that you have a problem?"
< br>Yelu Miaomiao spat out her little tongue and said: "I was happy for a moment, I didn't think about it so much."
She glanced at Mengniang who was adjusting her breath in the corner, then came to Jiang Shouzhong and gently touched her with her shoulders. He touched the other party lightly and whispered: "Jiang Mo, do you feel that Meng Niang is weird, as if she is avoiding you."
"Yes?"
Jiang Shouzhong didn't pay attention.
Yelu Miaomiao raised her jade fingers that looked like peeling onions and waved them in front of her face, "A woman's intuition."
"Intuition is a hammer."
Jiang Shouzhong said He curled his lips and looked at Erliang.
Erliang hugged his slender legs and sat quietly in front of the fire, holding the exquisite sword in his arms. The light from the bonfire danced on her face, reflecting the faint sadness on the girl's cheeks.
Jiang Shouzhong walked to Erliang and sat down, and asked softly: "Are you blaming me?"
Erliang was stunned, shook his little head desperately, and said sadly: "Master, actually I can feel it. Sister Que'er is willing to leave because of me. Did Erliang do something wrong? "
"You didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't do anything wrong either."
Jiang Shouzhongqing. Stroking the girl's damp hair, she said softly, "Some things in the world are inherently helpless. Maybe she just wants to protect something... that she once threw away. Because she is afraid of being hurt, she wants to stay away."< br>
Jiang Shouzhong smiled and said: "But it's okay. I will take you to see her after a while, okay?"
"Yes."
Erliang smiled, his smile pure and flawless.
——
The rain is like a waterfall, hitting the top of the mountain like thousands of needles and threads, forming a stream that rushes along the rugged rocks.
The Longwu Escort team also encountered heavy rain and had no choice but to stop on their way.
Fortunately, I often travel escorts on weekdays, and I am familiar with the landforms along the way, and I know where there is a shelter from the rain nearby. At this time, everyone rested in a simple temple that was half waist high.
The incense in the temple has faded. Since the death of the abbot the year before last, the few remaining monks in the temple have also left the temple and gone to practice elsewhere. This temple, named "Wu'an Temple", was abandoned and used as a place for travelers and business travelers to take shelter from wind and rain, and rest.
Several escort disciples were busy carrying water and preparing hot tea for everyone to ward off the cold.
Everyone who got soaked by the rain looked for a dry place to change their wet clothes, or sat around to bake their clothes and restore their body temperature.
In the inner hall, Long Yaoxin stood in front of the door, staring at the intensifying pouring rain outside, with a look of worry on his brows.
"This rainstorm is so violent that it seems that it will not stop in a short time. The escort cargo we transported to Yuqulou is still in the escort office and has not been able to set off. If the delivery date is delayed due to this, it may It’s causing quite a bit of trouble.”
Kuang Tianguang twisted the corner of his wet clothes and comforted him with a smile: “Don’t worry, brother, I will escort this escort myself and I will ensure that it is delivered within the deadline. . If it doesn’t work, I will issue a military order.”
“You are trying to kill me, right?”
Long Yuexin pointed at the other party with a smile, and anger suddenly appeared on his face. He said, "This girl is getting more and more worried! Originally, I was hoping that when Liangcai took charge of the escort agency in the future, her sister would be able to help share some of the burden, but the result was even worse than Liangcai!"
The more Long Yaoxin talked, the angrier he became, and he pushed an incense burner on the desk and threw it to the ground.
As a result, I became angry and coughed violently.
Kuang Tianguang hurriedly stepped forward and patted the other party's back, gently advising: "Brother, don't worry. Parents of daughters will inevitably encounter some emotional problems when they grow up. As long as Yuanyuan is fine, it will be fine. I believe that the experience In this matter, she will become more mature and rational, and she will be able to avoid such impulsive actions in the future."
Long Yao smiled hard and waved his hands, looking tired.
After a while, a disciple came in with hot tea and placed it on the table.
Long Yaoxin took out a pill and put it in his mouth, swallowed it with tea, and said helplessly: "Can't you be anxious? You have also seen my condition, and I guess I won't be able to hold on for much longer. . If my talent fails and my daughter fails to live up to my expectations, I will not be able to rest in peace even if I die.”
"Brother, don't say such unfavorable words in the future."
Kuang Tianguang frowned. "When this escort trip is over, we will go to the capital to find a miracle doctor, and we will definitely be able to cure your illness."
Long Yuxin looked bitter and murmured: "Only you know your situation best. "
Before Kuang Tianguang could speak, Long Yaoxin suddenly looked at him with bright eyes, "Old Kuang, if something happens to me, the responsibility of the escort agency will have to be left in your hands. . If Liangcai is still in trouble and can’t hold up the wall, you don’t have to worry anymore and just replace him. You can’t let the escort agency be ruined. From now on, the Longwu Escort Agency will be renamed the Kuang family!"
Boom! A thunderous lightning flashed across the sky, reflecting the tall figure of a woman outside the inner hall door.
Long Yuanyuan leaned against the wall gently, her face as sinking as water.
The woman slowly grasped the hilt of the sword at her waist.
In the hall, Kuang Tianguang's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, please don't talk nonsense. Longwu Escort Agency is your hard work, and it can only be named 'Long'. Brother, don't worry, no matter what time, no matter what, I will try my best to help Liangcai and help him carry Longwu Escort Bureau."
Long Yaoxin handed the tea in his hand to Kuang Tianguang and said tiredly: "Lao Kuang, I should have done it earlier. If I listen to you and discipline Liangcai well and don't let him mess around outside, I won't feel so sad now."
Kuang Tianguang took the tea cup and said: "Liangcai just has a playful temper. , or I will take him as a escort during this period to sharpen his temper.”
Kuang Tianguang still loves the nephew he has seen since childhood.
Unfortunately, since the death of my sister-in-law, my eldest brother has been too doting on the child and spends all day hanging out with some bad friends.
Long Yaoxin joked: "With his temper, let alone his temper, I'm afraid your Lao Kuang's temper has been tempered first."
Kuang Tianguang laughed, He took a few sips of hot tea and said, "Everything must have a beginning, and it's time to practice."
"Yes, we can't go on like this."
Long Yaoxin coughed a few times, looked at the blood on the handkerchief, walked to a dusty Buddha statue, was silent for a while, and then said, "Lao Kuang, I want to marry Liangcai. This guy has a wife. , maybe I can calm down and be more stable."
Kuang Tianguang was stunned and nodded, "That's right. Once you have a family, you will have a sense of responsibility. I don't know which girl my eldest brother likes. After this trip, we will go to the house to propose marriage in person."
Long Yuexin looked at the other party and smiled, "Forget it, I don't worry about it. I think Xiaoque'er is very good. ”
——
In the empty Zen room, there is a slight scent of sandalwood lingering.
Zhang Queer, who avoided everyone, came to the room alone, sat on the wooden bed, and gently moved the paper crane in his hand with his fingers, staring blankly.
There was lightning and thunder outside, and it was dark inside.
The girl was like a little sparrow with broken wings, huddled in a dusty bird's nest. She cautiously poked her head out to take a look at the sky, then quickly retracted her body for fear of falling.
"Dong dong..." The wooden door of the Zen room was suddenly knocked.
Zhang Queer seemed to have never heard of it.
The door of the room was pushed open, and Long Yuanyuan walked in with a cup of hot tea and handed it to the other party, "Would you like to warm yourself up?"
Seeing that the other party ignored her, Long Yuanyuan Put the tea cup on the table, sit next to the girl, curl up her legs, and say softly: "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
Zhang Queer's red lips parted lightly.
Long Yuanyuan cast her gaze towards the shadow of the room and said, "Thank you for not telling them what you saw."
"What did I see?"
Zhang Queer asked again, saying The attitude is a bit lazy.
Long Yuanyuan bit her lower lip.
"Oh, I remembered." Zhang Queer turned his head, stared at the woman's profile, and said with a smile, "I saw you naked, and there were two people lying on the bed... It should be two corpses of men that seem to have been sucked dry... You are pretty good.”
Long Yuanyuan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with pain.
Zhang Queer leaned his head against the cold wall and said calmly: "I promised someone a safe and stable life, so I don't bother to talk about your nonsense. From now on, don't talk to me It's okay if you shake in front of me."
Long Yuanyuan smiled sadly, "Don't worry, I will try to avoid you, but no matter what, I am very grateful to you."
The woman looked down. He glanced at his body and murmured:
"It's really dirty. If I had listened to my father earlier, listened to Uncle Kuang's words, listened to Fu Huren's words, and listened to your words, I wouldn't be like this. Maybe, This is the retribution I deserve.”
Zhang Queer closed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "It's useless to tell me this."
The teacup was filled with steam.
The face of the lingering girl is a little blurry.
Long Yuanyuan was in a daze for a long time, then stood up and said: "But why is it my retribution? God, sometimes, it is really unfair."
She looked at Zhang Queer's beauty With a pure face, her tone suddenly became gentle, "Sister Que'er, maybe you won't tell other people. And even if you tell them, they won't believe it. But... I can't sleep well. I really can't sleep well. I Make sure you never say ”
Zhang Queer sneered, "What? Do you want to kill people and silence them?"
Zhang Queer looked at the steaming teacup next to him, "There is something in this tea, right?"
" Mengchun Powder..."
Long Yuanyuan said, "Even if you don't drink it, the fragrance it emits will have an effect on you. If you are not a practitioner, the effect will be more obvious. You will know after a while.
Sister Queer, I won’t kill you as long as Uncle Kuang is here.
However, I want you to become like me... Only if you are like me can you feel my pain and sympathize with me!
I won’t... tell anyone else. "
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
"Come in. ”
The corners of Long Yuanyuan’s lips curled up.
Long Liangcai opened the door and saw Zhang Que'er curled up on the bed with a pitiful temperament surrounding her. He felt as if his mind had been captured for an instant, and he stood there blankly.
"What are you still doing? Take off your clothes." Long Yuanyuan urged in a cold voice.
"Sister, this...this is inappropriate."
Long Liangcai was hesitant and timid, "If Uncle Kuang finds out..."
Long Yuan Yuan was very dissatisfied with her brother's cowardly character,
"Dad has already proposed marriage to Uncle Kuang, and plans to marry Sister Que'er to you. But you know Uncle Kuang's character. He has always looked down on you, and he will definitely not hand over Sister Que'er to you.
For now, let’s just stop doing it and cook the raw rice. When the time comes, even if Uncle Kuang doesn’t want to, he can only let you get married.”
Seeing that her brother still didn’t dare to move, Long Yuanyuan was very angry. He slapped her in the face with a cold expression, "Okay, you don't want to, right? I believe other people will rush for this opportunity. I'll go find them!"
Long Yuanyuan turned around and went out.
After coming back to his senses, Long Liangcai quickly grabbed his sister, "No, I will do it. Don't give sister Que'er to others."
With that said, he walked towards Zhang Queer.
Long Yuanyuan stopped, but her eyes flashed with ferocious emotions.
Let Zhang Queer become the Long family’s wife?
What a joke!
She will find someone else to come later, and she will destroy this girl today. Only in this way... this girl will not look at her with that contemptuous look, and will keep quiet. Mouth!
"Miss, what are you doing!"
Suddenly, Fu Huren appeared at the door. The young man was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and pushed Long Liangcai away, protecting Zhang Queer, looking at Long Yuanyuan and said angrily: "Miss, do you know what you are doing!?"
"Fu Huren, get out of here!"
Seeing that the usually annoying licking dog was trying to ruin her career, Long Yuanyuan grabbed the hilt of the sword and said coldly.
Fu Huren urged in a hurry: "Miss, sister Que'er is the niece of the second head of the family. How could you treat her like this? Miss, please stop doing stupid things. You were not like this before..."
Bang!
The man was thrown into the corner by the woman.
Long Yuanyuan took out a thin rope and tied Fu Huren, stuffed his mouth with a cloth, squatted in front of the man, with a nervous smile on her face, "Fu Huren, I will let you taste women later." "
Fu Huren screamed and struggled, but the other party was indifferent.
Long Liangcai gritted his teeth, walked to Zhang Que'er, raised his two fingers and said, "Sister Que'er, I swear, I will definitely marry you. When you marry into our Long family, I will definitely marry you." I will treat you well and never let you suffer any injustice. I will only love you in this life..."
"Why does it always happen like this."
Zhang Queer gently held the long sword beside him, looked at the thunder and lightning outside the window, and murmured, "Maybe I was born to be a broom star, no matter where I go , there will be dead people. Then keep killing people."
Shoo!
The sword light passed by.
Long Liangcai, who was swearing, was stunned.
Immediately, he was horrified to see that the two fingers he stretched out were gone and had been chopped off.
The man let out a shrill scream.
Long Yuanyuan’s eyes widened, and then she became furious.
“Stinky girl, how dare you——”
“Pfft!”
The sword pierced the woman's shoulder blade.
Zhang Queer smiled and said: "Sister Yuan, I will torture you slowly. I have tolerated you for a long time in the inn."
Zhang Queer pulled out the long sword.
"Yan Changqing, although you don't want to accept me as your disciple, but since I have learned your swordsmanship, I will shamelessly call you master."
The girl gently wiped the sword with her fingers There were bloodstains on his face, and his eyes glowed with scarlet light, "Master, your sword is not fast enough or cruel enough. That's why they mock you and look down upon you."
"But it doesn't matter. From now on, let me, my disciple... clear your name as the Sword Demon!"
