[Yang Xiao X Li Xunhuan] Zhuang Zhou

Yang Xiao hoped that it was really just a dream, that there was no fighting within the Ming Cult, and that Ji Xiaofu, who resolutely chose to leave back then, was still alive and had no regrets, even if she never regretted it.

Li Xun Huan kept turning sideways and did not look at Yang Xiao's face. He knew that the man didn't want anyone to see that expression. Finish your drink."

The next morning, Yang Xiao got up and walked to the water's edge alone. Li Xun Huan sat up slowly when he was far away. The fire next to him was still a little warm. He thought that someone must have added firewood in the middle of the night, and that person must not be him.

When Li Xun Huan came to the water's edge, Yang Xiao had already washed his face and filled the jug with water. Li Xun Huan untied his wine bag, sighed softly, and resigned himself to filling it with water.

"I know a famous doctor in Taiyuan who may be able to cure you."

Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay." Then he walked over and said, "But first we have to go to the house of the girl we met the day before yesterday."

"Do you think she's in danger?"

"No, I think their family will be in danger. I know too well how those foreigners will treat Han people." Yang Xiao said this with an extremely serious expression.

The two discussed it, hurriedly used some dry food, and went down the mountain path in the direction the girl said. When approaching the foot of the mountain, they would occasionally meet woodcutters and hunters. Li Xunhuan asked several times before confirming what the girl said. Small town location.

Then Li Xunhuan rented an ox cart from a young farmer, and gave the young man a tael of silver to help him drive the cattle. Smiled secretly for a long time.

The town is called Qi Town, but it is more like a village. Since Qi Town is not on the official road, almost all the people who come and go are locals. Occasionally, outsiders pass by in a hurry, such as knights on horseback, such as the chariot team of the escort agency. , and probably only Yang Xiao and Li Xunhuan came in in the bullock cart.

The bullock cart bumped and walked fast, and I didn't see some houses until after noon. The sign of Qi Town on the side of the road could almost be described as dilapidated because of the sun and rain for many years.

The boy pulling the cart was called Aguzai. Li Xunhuan asked Aguzai a few words on the road and learned that the girl's family name was Yu. Yu's father used to be a farmer, but an accident broke his leg and he could no longer farm. , so he took all his belongings and opened a tea house. Although everyone would take care of him and give him business, the family was still struggling.

Yang Xiao asked about the situation of the Turkic soldiers, but Aguzai replied without thinking about it, saying that there were no Turkic people in the town, how could Turkic people come to such a small place.

Li Xunhuan and Yang Xiao looked at each other, both thought: Those Turkic soldiers probably have something wrong with their Han Chinese attire.Li Xunhuan asked again: "Then, who is the richest person in your town?"

"Liu Escort of the Quanji Escort Bureau."

Li Xun Huan smiled slightly, and said to Yang Xiao: "Look, this Escort Liu is really interesting, to open an escort agency in such a place."

Yang Xiao looked at Aguzai, and said, "There's a lot of money, but you're self-willed."

Li Xun Huan gave Yang Xiao a blank look, and stopped talking.

The ox cart drove for a while, and suddenly Aguzai pointed to the front and said, "You two, look, that room is the teahouse you were looking for—strange, why didn't I see Mrs. Yu Boyu, they are usually busy at this time. I'm busy."

Yang Xiao and Li Xunhuan in the carriage looked at each other again, but neither of them said a word until the ox cart reached the teahouse, the two got out of the carriage, Aguzi was still shouting, and Li Xunhuan took out an ingot of broken silver from his bosom stopped him.

"Little brother, this is your reward, you can go back."

Seeing that Li Xun Huan is so generous, he must be the young master of some rich family, Agu Zai happily picked up the ox cart and walked back, even the sound of driving the cart was joyful.

Li Xun Huan turned around and saw that Yang Xiao had already entered the tea room.

The seats in the teahouse are open, and it can even be said that they are placed on the side of the road. The tables and benches are fairly neat, but there is a layer of dust on the table, which looks like it has not been wiped for a while. It should have been in this environment. It is right to wipe it frequently, otherwise no guest would dare to sit.

Yang Xiao walked to the door and saw a rag left by the door, he picked it up, it was already dry, he couldn't help frowning, knowing that something bad happened to the family.

Yang Xiao stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the inner room, and Li Xun Huan behind touched the knife pouch on his waist, secretly on guard.

There was no one in the house, and the two of them entered the house and turned around, and found that there was no trace of fighting in the house, only four cups were placed on the table, and there were still some traces of tea in the cups.

Li Xunhuan said: "It looks like they were 'invited' away."

Yang Xiao nodded and asked, "Do you still remember who the rich man was mentioned by the little brother just now?"

Li Xun Huan didn't answer, but instead said, "I know your guess, but I hope it's not true."

"We'll find out if we go to the rich man's house and have a look."

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Li Xunhuan hurriedly called him, "Hey, are you planning to go now?"

"if not?"

Li Xun Huan sighed softly, and said, "Could you find a restaurant to eat first, I'm hungry, and—"

"You want to drink." Yang Xiao said straight away, and then said: "Okay, let's find a place to have lunch first."

Li Xun Huan muttered: "Obviously it's your alcohol addiction..." Looking at Yang Xiao's back, there was a slight smile on his lips.

In such a village, there are only one or two restaurants, and the dishes are naturally not comparable to those in big counties and big cities. Even the wine is so-called the best. In the eyes of these two people, they are all low-end goods, but at least they ate dry food for a few days. The two chose a place with a wide view, casually ordered some food and drinks, steamed buns, and ate and drank. By the way, they also inquired about the location of the Quanji Escort, and Liu Escort's good reputation for donating money. Some of the bodyguards in the academy still came here especially for their reputation.

After listening, Yang Xiao said, "Most of these people have problems."

"Oh? We've come to a conclusion so quickly? Don't necessarily have ulterior motives." Li Xunhuan picked up a dish and said with a smile.

Yang Xiao raised his eyes, also smiled, and said, "It's still the same sentence, you can see it at night."

Li Xunhuan looked at the sky, but didn't speak. He was really worried. Yang Xiao's illness came without warning. If it happens again... I don't know if it will get worse. ?Thinking of this, he suddenly coughed twice.

Yang Xiao half-jokingly half-concerned: "Why, the wine is not good, did it choke you?"

Li Xun Huan shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing, old problem."

Yang Xiao didn't ask any more questions, and turned his head to look at the sky in the distance. At this time, the sun was setting, and he couldn't help but think of the scene in his dream of saving the two children from Wei Yixiao.He thought, it was a dream, it must be a dream, Wei Yixiao didn't go to Siwangfeng to find him, there was no such thing as Zhang Wuji and Yang Bumei, Ji Xiaofu went back to Emei and lived well.But if that was a dream, then what is it now, what is this river and lake, and what is that person sitting opposite him?Yang Xiao stared at Li Xun Huan's face, he never denied that Li Xun Huan had a face that could fascinate people, especially he had a pair of eyes that were sometimes misty and sometimes seemed to see everything.

Being so watched, Li Xunhuan certainly felt it. He looked back at Yang Xiao, but felt that those eyes seemed to be looking at him and seemed to be in a daze.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I think you have a good appetite, why don't you order more buns?"

"it is good."

Staying in the bright moonlight, the restaurants are rushing to close, there is less business in this kind of place, all kinds of shops are closed early, and the two don't make it difficult for the shop to settle the bill early, while no one is paying attention, they jumped on the roof, One after the other, they headed towards the Quanji Escort.
