female catcher

It's raining, it's been raining non-stop.

After leaving Liuye Village, the thunderstorm has been accompanied by Nangong Biluo and his party, and the sky is so heavy that it seems to be crushed.

Nangong Biluo under the bamboo hat looked up at the lightning flashing in the clouds, the rain kept dripping down the brim of the hat, the coir raincoat was completely soaked, Jingfan under his seat was also struggling in the mud, and the team moved slowly.

Even if Jingfan was struggling so much, the other chariots and horses were even more difficult.

Nangong Biluo scanned the surroundings, rode forward, rode forward for a while, then rode back, and said to Wang Zhenxing: "Chief Escort, there is a tea shed in front, let's rest there and wait for the rain to lighten before continuing." Hurry up."

"Okay." Wang Zhenxing responded, while pulling the reins tightly. The heavy rain made the horse a little out of control. He turned his head and said to the crowd: "Persist for a few more steps, and rest in front!"

Hearing that you can rest your feet, whether you are driving a horse or pushing a cart, you are trying your best to avoid the rain as soon as possible.

When a group of people arrived at the tea shed mentioned by Nangong Biluo, it almost occupied the wild shop.

Fortunately, there are no other passers-by except them, otherwise there is no place to squeeze in. The store greeted them warmly, and the bodyguards were also busy putting the truck on the rain cover. Nangong Biluo chatted with the store owner and went to the carriage forward.

Opening the curtain of the car, several pairs of eyes in the car fell on Nangong Biluo.

"Come down and hide from the rain for a while." Nangong Biluo called the people in the carriage to come down, and a group of people entered the tea shed.

"This damn weather, the rain doesn't stop at once." Wang Feijun, who was already seated, complained while pouring tea. "Look at the lightning and thunder, maybe there will be a heavy rain."

When Nangong Biluo took off her coir raincoat, she happened to hear it, looked at the sky and sighed slightly, and just happened to walk up to the shopkeeper who served the tea on each table and asked: "Girl, the tea is served, and the carriages and horses are also settled. You see, there is still more to come." What?"

"Fry a few more side dishes and get some hot sweat towels."

"Okay, the dishes will be served in a while, and the hot sweat towels need to wait."

"Thank you." Nangong Biluo put down the coir raincoat and went to Wang Zhenxing's table to talk to Wang Zhenxing.

In a small wild store, escorts sit at the same table with escorts, and guards sit at the same table. There are no empty seats if they are crowded together, but the interesting guards and escorts still have two free tables for the master.

Fu Rong and Feng Piaoxu occupy a table alone, and no one sits with them.Ever since leaving Liuye Village, Feng Piaoxu has hardly said a word, and just silently hugs Qingqing's ashes anytime, anywhere. Just like now, no one who knows the way will touch this bad luck.

Furong poured a cup of tea for Feng Piaoxu, and said softly, "Miss Boss, drink some water."

Feng Piaoxu looked up at Furong, put the urn aside, and obediently picked up the water and took a sip.She looked at Furong's sad and joyful face, put her hands on the urn again, and said nothing.

Fu Rong didn't say anything to comfort her, she just asked, "Miss Boss, would you like to eat some dry food as a cushion? You haven't eaten much these days."

Feng Piaoxu shook his head.Fu Rong sighed and said nothing more, she looked at the gloomy sky and let go of her thoughts.Furong doesn't hate this kind of weather, even if it makes people feel depressing, it's actually not bad to watch the rainwater fall into the mud and splash. She would like to watch it for a day, if possible.

After a burst of thunder and lightning, the rain really fell a little harder.

The store served the food, and after a while, they took out hot face towels one after another, because the small store has limited conditions and there are not so many clean towels, and only a few people can share one.

Furong took the towel, shook it out, folded it, and then gave it to Feng Piaoxu, "Miss Boss, here it is. Be careful, it's a little hot."

Feng Piaoxu took a look, "You can use it, there is no wind and rain in the carriage."

Just as Furong was about to say something, Yun Tianxing had already walked over and said, "Miss Piaoxu, there are still hot sweat towels here."

Feng Piaoxu glanced at Yun Tianxing and ignored him, while Furong gave Yun Tianxing a sympathetic look, but Yun Tianxing just stood there in embarrassment.Yun Tianxing squeezed the sweat towel tightly, and could only leave resentfully in the end.

Feng Piaoxu didn't say a word to him these days, even if he took the initiative to talk to him, he couldn't even get a polite response.Sometimes he would resent Feng Piaoxu's unfeelingness, but when he thought about him, he couldn't bear to blame Feng Piaoxu.Originally, he had never touched Feng Piaoxu's heart, wouldn't it be more pitiful to hate him because of love?

"Miss, come and have some fresh side dishes." Ling'er at another table served Cao Yu'an, but Cao Yu'an didn't respond, "Miss, what are you looking at?"

Ling'er followed Cao Yu'an's line of sight, and saw that Nangong Biluo had moved from Wang Zhenxing's place to Feng Piaoxu's table.Nangong Biluo said a few words to Feng Piaoxu, and Feng Piaoxu took the sweat towel from Nangong Biluo and wiped his face, then took the chopsticks from Nangong Biluo, and slowly ate.

Cao Yu'an sighed inwardly, and at the same time came back to his senses.In any case, it is a good thing that Feng Piaoxu can listen to persuasion to eat. Although she will still envy and care about the seemingly tepid but special relationship between Feng Piaoxu and Nangong Biluo, she will learn to let go of it slowly.Some things can't be forced, and the saddest thing is if you can't get out of it. It's okay to let this long-lasting rain dilute your mind.

After Cao Yu'an settled his mind, he noticed Tang Tianfang who was also absent-minded.Tang Tianfang, who smiled like Maitreya, was as melancholy as this thunderstorm, as if he was a different person, thinking about Tang Tianling's affairs.Cao Yu'an couldn't help saying softly, "Uncle Wen, wipe your face, it will refresh you."

Tang Tian regained his composure, and laughed like a cover-up, "Okay."

He put the used sweat towel aside and chatted with Cao Yu'an, "Yu'an, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, and you are also a little tanned than before. You should pay more attention when you go out, otherwise Boss Cao will feel so distressed when he sees it later. You said that you also went out and didn't send a letter to your family, which made Brother Cao send people to Nangong Mansion to give gifts every now and then to inquire about news."

Tang Tianfang lowered his voice again, "If it wasn't for the fear of the widow's goings-on, Brother Cao would have come to inquire about you in person. Didn't you see your father's worried look, making people forget that he is a widow? The big boss with a lot of money, hehehehe..."

Cao Yu'an felt guilty towards her father, but seeing Tang Tianfang's forceful smile, she couldn't bear it: "Uncle Wen, you don't have to smile like that, just say it when you feel uncomfortable. Relatives are connected by blood, and they are always concerned."

Tang Tianfang's smile froze, and then he sighed and murmured: "Ling'er is almost 20 years younger than me, so she is naturally happy when her father gets old. I also love this little girl. She was very close to me when I was young, but—"

Tang Tianfang pulled out an expression uglier than crying, and smiled wryly.After a moment of silence, he suddenly pulled out a few times from his pocket and took out a letter: "By the way, I forgot for a moment, your father specially asked me to send a letter when I was leaving."

Cao Yu'an hurriedly opened the letter to read, and the joy at first gradually turned to worry.Ling'er couldn't help asking: "Miss, what did the master say in the letter, why do you look so ugly?"

"Sigh~ my father is planning to leave the capital to go to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. There are floods there, and my close friends are worried. My father has been sick for a long time, and I am worried about his health."

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I heard it's not peaceful there, and the Green Gang doesn't know what's happening and they're making changes. The Wulin League alone has suppressed and mediated several large-scale fights. Brother Cao has to be careful when going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang," Tang Tianfang said. Some news he received from some merchants.

Cao Yu'an was even more worried. She was thinking about something, and regretted that she was not by her father's side at this time.

"Yu'an, don't worry too much. Brother Cao has been fighting all these years, and he hasn't seen any scenes." Tang Tianfang comforted Cao Yu'an a few words, and then stopped talking.He put his eyes on Nangong Biluo, as if he was waiting for the opportunity to talk to Nangong Biluo.

Nangong Biluo sat at Feng Piaoxu's table, she had no conversation, she poured a cup of tea for herself, and stared at the rain outside, but it was Feng Piaoxu who put vegetables into her bowl.

"I know how to persuade me, but I don't eat anymore."

Nangong Biluo smiled back, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, then put it down and sighed: "It's raining so hard."

Feng Piaoxu frowned, and asked, "Do you still remember Hanging Liu Piaopiao, or are you thinking about the situation in the capital?"

"All of them." Nangong Biluo responded with a smile, "The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the heavy rain blocked Xinying, and there was no time to send a letter back to mother. Sister Liu——Sister Liu sings so beautifully."

Feng Piaoxu was taken aback for a moment, then sighed and smiled softly.Her gaze fell on the ashes urn beside her, and she said quietly, "Nangong, everything will be fine, right?"

"That's natural." Nangong Biluo smiled, and she clenched Feng Piaoxu's hand under the table, "This side dish tastes good, you should eat more, I ate too much dry food before, and the tea was a little overwhelming. I asked the store owner that Yizhou City can arrive tomorrow, so I will go and see Jingfan."

After Nangong Biluo finished speaking, she let go of Feng Piaoxu, then got up and went towards the stable.

Feng Piaoxu's eyes were lingering on Nangong Biluo's back, and the temperature of Nangong Biluo still remained on the back of her hand, which miraculously warmed her limbs and bones.She sighed again, and then brought some food for Fu Rong. "Furong, eat more, the food is really good."

"Okay." Furong was a little flattered. After she took the bowl and chopsticks, she couldn't help but look at Nangong Biluo who had already left.Although he knew about the relationship between the female catcher and Feng Piaoxu, they were not intimate these days and hardly talked to each other, and Feng Piaoxu's gloom faded away in just a short while.

Furong was lying when she said she wasn't curious, but after taking a look, she obediently ate the food that Feng Piaoxu had picked up for her.

Nangong Biluo went to the stables to add fodder for her old buddy.Tang Tianfang quietly came to her side, Nangong Biluo took a look at this honest but shrewd fat man, and somewhat guessed why he came.

"Hey the horse?" Tang Tianfang said obvious nonsense as soon as he came.

Nangong Biluo laughed, "Yes. After the rain stopped, they have to work again and have to be fed. Yizhou is coming soon, so it's uneasy to return to Tangmen?"

Tang Tianfang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect Nangong Biluo to take the initiative to bring up this issue, "I didn't think so, but because of Linger, it's somewhat. Nangong arrests her, will Linger be executed by Liuzhai?"

Nangong Biluo sighed softly, "The child is innocent. I think at least she will be fine now, unless she herself--gives up. Mr. Tang, I will not plead for her, but no matter what happens to her, I hope Tangmen will not embarrass her Liuzhai."

Tang Tianfang sighed and said, "I understand. It was my waywardness that hurt Ling'er. After so many years of being free, I should go back and go my own way."

Nangong Biluo hesitated for a moment and said: "Perhaps your departure has some influence on Tang Tianling, but it's not right to blame it all on yourself. She is not a device made by the Tang Sect. How to choose someone else is out of control."

Tang Tianfang smiled wryly and nodded, "Thank you. By the way, when you arrive in Yizhou, will you go to Tangmen with me, or do you settle them first before going?"

Nangong Biluo thought for a while, "I'll go with you, they will be picked up when they arrive in Yizhou, and they have their own affairs, I think,"

Nangong Biluo didn't continue talking. After many years, she had a clue about her father again. She was a little nervous, but also a little anxious and excited.

Not long after talking with Tang Tianfang, the rain stopped and the group set off again.

Nangong Biluo and the others had already set off before leaving the wild store with Jingfan. Before getting on the horse, they saw Yun Tianxing ahead, as if he was waiting for her on purpose.

Nangong Biluo frowned, and led the horse forward. "Brother Yun, I have something to say."

Yun Tianxing nodded, Nangong Biluo signaled to walk and said, and the two led the horses and followed behind the convoy.But after walking for a long time, Yun Tianxing didn't say a word, and Nangong Biluo didn't ask.

It was drizzling and the road was slippery. It was actually very uncomfortable to walk on.

Yun Tianxing glanced at the woman who was walking quietly but not forgetting to look at the six roads, and immediately forgot what he wanted to say before, he asked: "Nangong Butou, have you recovered from your injuries?"

"It's all right, brother Yun, how about you?"

"It's okay." Yun Tianxing was silent for a while, and then said: "That——I'm sorry, because of my impulsiveness, you fell into crisis and were captured by Tang Tianling."

Nangong Biluo was stunned, "This has nothing to do with Brother Yun. I was too confident to get into trouble. Don't take it to heart. It's all over. Fortunately, the danger was saved."

Yun Tianxing smiled wryly, "Not everyone is so open-minded, but since you said it's over, let's go. Nangong catcher, it's time for me to leave."

Nangong Biluo was startled again, "Are you leaving now? We are almost in Yizhou."

Yun Tianxing nodded, "It has been delayed for a long time, and what the master told me has not been completed, besides—it's better to leave early."

Nangong Biluo stopped talking and stopped.

Yun Tianxing also stopped, looking at Nangong Biluo's silence, he calmed down and said with a smile: "You don't have to stare at me like that, I feel very frustrated being looked at by your eyes, even if There is no winning or losing in this kind of thing, and I still don't want to admit that my rival in love is a woman. I don't have any blessings for you yet, I hope you don't mind."

Nangong Biluo shook his head, "Brother Yun, I..."

"Ha, if you can't find anything to say, don't force yourself." Yun Tianxing accepted Nangong Biluo's silence.

"Okay." Nangong Biluo took a deep breath, "If you want to leave, let's say goodbye to Feijun and the others."

"Naturally." After Yun Tianxing responded, he straddled the horse and smiled as he rode the horse. He didn't want to lose his last demeanor.

As soon as the voice fell, he rode forward.After Nangong Biluo stopped for a while, when he got on his horse and caught up with the large army, Yun Tianxing was already beside the carriage and said to the people in the window: "Miss Piaoxu, don't take this one seriously, there will be a later date."

Ling'er who opened the window looked back at Feng Piaoxu who didn't respond, feeling a little pitiful for Yun Tianxing.

Feng Piaoxu raised his eyes after a while, and said without joy or anger: "Treasure."

Yun Tianxing twitched the corner of his mouth, nodded to Cao Yu'an and others, and left the car window.At this time, Furong also drove to the window of the car, and asked for instructions to meet Feng Piaoxu's eyes. Feng Piaoxu shook his head invisibly, and Furong stopped paying attention to Yun Tianxing.

I saw Yun Tianxing went to Nangong Biluo again, "Nangong arrests the head, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, there will be a period later."

"There will be a period later, brother Yun, take care." Nangong Biluo clasped his fists at Yun Tianxing and saluted.

Yun Tianxing saluted back and rode away on his white horse through the rain.

The rain is desolate, people are drifting away, saying goodbye, forgetting sadness.

"Oh my god, I'm really lonely." Wang Feijun sighed.

"We will see you again in the end." Nangong Biluo answered.

If Nangong Biluo could predict something, she would definitely cherish it like Feng Piaoxu and never say goodbye.

Yun Tianxing died, he died on the Golden Summit of Emei.

Just after the group of them arrived in Yizhou, everyone was relieved, and it was time to return after the two employers, Cao Yu'an and Feng Piaoxu, finished handling the matter at hand.

Nangong Biluo and Tang Tianfang also visited Tangmen, but ever since they went to Tangmen, they had a lot of worries. She cleared up her mood and went to the local government office to investigate and communicate. Feng Piaoxu was also busy with shops in various places in Yizhou. .

Nangong Biluo went to Jiading Mansion that day and walked on the street. She accidentally noticed Helian Ba's trace in her thoughts, and secretly followed him to the Golden Summit of Emei. Arrived at Yun Tianxing who fell to the ground.

It was sunset, and the setting sun was covered by clouds and pressed on Mount Emei.

Yun Tianxing, dressed in white, was lying on the barren and empty land, and there was a cleanliness that belonged to him in the desolation.

He opened his eyes, without blinking, and looked at the sky.

"Brother Yun!" Nangong Biluo came to Yun Tianxing's side in surprise, the half-dried blood on the ground made her feel bad.

Yun Tianxing reacted, and when he saw that it was Nangong Biluo, his bloody mouth pulled a slight smile, "Nangong, catch the head."

"It's me. Brother Yun, tell me what happened? Why did you..." Nangong Biluo couldn't continue, she pressed her fingers on Yun Tianxing's wrist, already knowing that the man in front of her was already exhausted, but I don't know why I hang my last breath for a long time and refuse to rest in peace.

Yun Tianxing shook his head very slightly, his mouth opened and closed, his voice became smaller and smaller, Nangong Biluo had to bend down and get close to his lips to hear his words clearly.

Nangong Biluo's eyes flickered, she didn't know what she heard, she was surprised and sad, and it was indescribably complicated.

After a while, Yun Tianxing's voice finally became louder.

"...Promise me, no matter what happens, no matter what, take good care of Miss Piaoxu. Long, Long Yuan, "

He tried to raise the hand holding Longyuan but he had no strength, it was Nangong Biluo who held him.

The smile on Yun Tianxing's lips deepened, "Long Yuan entrusts you, tell Master, life is short, even if there are regrets, don't regret it, don't read it, and be a good boy in the next life. Promise me, you will be good."

Nangong Biluo's heart trembled, she looked at Yun Tianxing's pale and handsome face, and after a long time said calmly and firmly, "Okay."

She clenched his hand tightly, as well as his subordinate Long Yuan.

"Ha, Nangong Biluo, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Yun Tianxing's time was fixed on his bright and bright face, he looked at Nangong Biluo, and looked at the sky as if he had penetrated Nangong Biluo.

Nangong Biluo helped him close his eyes with her hands in great pain, and took Longyuan from his hands. She looked up at the sky, the thick clouds lingered, and the autumn wind blew up.

The gods began to rage again.

Yingsong Inn.

This is the inn where Feng Piaoxu and others rested. Because of the heavy rain, the people in the caravan returned to their houses early.

Feng Piaoxu sat in the dark room, she didn't sit calmly as usual, she held the empty water glass in her hand several times, and the noise of thunder and rain made her uneasy.

She raised the empty glass and touched her lips in a daze, only to recover from the trance, and then she put down the already slightly warm water glass, got up and opened the door.

There was a clatter of thunder.

Feng Piaoxu was startled by the figure outside the door, "Nangong?"

Nangong Biluo stood outside her room door with rain on her face, she didn't know if she was about to knock on the door, or if she had come for some time.

"Piaoxu." The moment Nangong Biluo saw Feng Piaoxu, lightning flashed her smile, and then she stepped into the room.

After Feng Piaoxu closed the door, she immediately went to find a dry sweat towel. When she saw Nangong Biluo's Longyuan sword on the table, she was obviously taken aback, and then took the sweat towel to wipe the rain off Nangong Biluo's body.

"Wipe quickly." She wiped Nangong Biluo's hair and cheeks carefully.

"Okay." Nangong Biluo's expression softened, and he raised his hand to take the sweat towel from Feng Piaoxu's hand, and untied his bun to wipe it off, his hands were still stained with dirt.

Feng Piaoxu looked at her, glanced at Long Yuan from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't this Long Yuan? Why is it in your hands?"

Nangong Biluo stopped wiping, she put the sweat towel around her neck, looked at Feng Piaoxu for a while, and said, "Brother Yun is dead, entrust Longyuan to me."

Feng Piaoxu's body trembled, his throat tightened a bit, "He—how did he die?"

Nangong Biluo shook her head, and she licked her chapped lips. "Brother Yun said that he couldn't bless us for the time being, but when he was dying, he only told me solemnly that he wanted me to take good care of you and us to be good. He also said that although life is short, even if you have regrets, you will not regret it. I put He was buried under a Davidia involucrata tree."

Feng Piaoxu was speechless, and the darkness in the room made each other's faces unclear.She was silent for a moment, then turned her back and said: "I will light the lamp."

The lights came on.

"Piaoxu." Nangong Biluo came behind him, "I feel a little uncomfortable."

Feng Piaoxu turned around slowly, "Is it for Yuntian? Or—"

"There are many places." Nangong Biluo's throat choked, "All the way west, I feel too powerless, even if it is a god-given catcher, I-"

Nangong Biluo fell silent, Feng Piaoxu took a step closer to her, saw her bowing her head, reached out to stroke Nangong Biluo's cheek and made her raise her head again, then Feng Piaoxu gently hugged Nangong Biluo slightly cool body.

"everything will get better."

Feng Piaoxu's hand gently stroked Nangong Biluo's back, Nangong Biluo leaned her head on her slender shoulder, hugged Feng Piaoxu back, and exhaled a long breath.

"Yes."

They hugged quietly for a long time.

Nangong Biluo tilted her head and kissed the hair fluttering in the wind, "Are you done with your work?"

"...It's nothing serious." Feng Piaoxu leaned on Nangong Biluo's shoulder and closed his eyes reassuringly, the restless thunder seemed to disappear.

"Then, we should prepare to return to Beijing."

"Ah."

The silhouettes of them embracing were reflected outside the window, flickering with the lightning.

Some people looked at the room indifferently, while others sighed softly.

"You know about them?"

"I know, this is the choice of the elder sister, and no one has the right to ask."

Zhu Wuxin took a look at Fu Rong, and walked away, leaving behind a smell of blood.In the rainy night, several black shadows flew out of the inn and disappeared into the night.

That night, Nangong Biluo sat quietly for a whole night, Feng Piaoxu accompanied her, resting her head on her shoulder was also a night, whether it was comforting each other or paying homage to the dead, the candlelight burned until dawn.

After half a month of rain, the sky cleared up.

The caravan headed back toward the sun.

Nangong Biluo stepped on Jingfan, and the yellow horse and brown saddle were hung on Longyuan. She looked up at the sky, and when she looked back, the wind fluttering on the carriage just opened the curtains to look at her, showing a smile without hesitation .

Nangong Biluo raised the corners of her mouth and said energetically, "Let's go, return!"

Go to the West Exit.

--gate of hell--
