I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

When Hong Qi returned, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.

The man with strong martial arts was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, his face darkened.The beautiful young girl was sitting at the table, looking down at some scattered items, with a leisurely smile on her lips.

Hong Qi took a closer look, deduced that those scattered small objects should be found from the flower pickers, and said casually:

"This thief has a lot of tricks in the world. He must carry all kinds of things with him, and he hides a lot of tricks. Girl, please be careful when handling these things."

Pei Xiang raised his hands and shook them:

"Thank you, Mr. Hong, for reminding me. Look, I'm wearing a handkerchief. I haven't directly touched the flower picker's things. Moreover, the second son personally found these things from the thief. He removed the poisonous and dangerous things in advance."

Hong Qi smiled heartily, thinking that this stern-faced and ruthless man was actually quite careful.

He looked back and forth between Pei Xiang and Ouyang Feng, secretly guessing their specific relationship.

Ouyang Feng felt Hong Qi's curious gaze, and looked back at him coldly, his gaze was like a sword:

"Master Hong, this is the female family's room, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time. Please deal with it quickly, don't waste any more time."

Seeing the impatience on this man's face and his cold and hard tone, Hong Qi rolled his eyes unceremoniously.

He was tolerant to this man in every possible way before, because he almost hurt the female family members of this family because of a drinking accident, and he felt indebted.But now the danger has been lifted, and the victim has no intention of blaming her. While Hong Qi is silently reviewing herself, her usual free and unrestrained temper has also recovered.

"Girl, haven't you asked me how to address her yet?" Hong Qi ignored Ouyang Feng, and directly saluted Pei Xiang with fists in his hands.

Pei Xiang smiled and said, "My surname is Pei, Daxia Hong."

"Miss Pei," Hong Qi yelled, and then thought of her skills in using medicine, and asked curiously, "Miss Pei is from Guizhou?"

Pei Xiang nodded: "It's the Pei family in Guizhou. I'm the second daughter of the family. This trip is going to Baituo Mountain in the Western Regions."

The beggar gang is always well-informed. After Pei Xiang reported his family and the destination of the trip, Hong Qi immediately thought of the marriage between the Pei family in Guizhou and Baituoshan in the Western Regions, so he pointed to Ouyang Feng to test asked:

"Then is this brother the young hero of the Pei family or Mr. Ouyang?"

Without waiting for Pei Xiang to answer, Ouyang Feng said, "Young Master Hong, I am Ouyang Feng from White Camel Mountain, nice to meet you."

Hong Qi showed a dazed expression, and then misunderstood the relationship between Pei Xiang and Ouyang Feng.He was not very interested in the news of this marriage before, he just knew that there was such a thing.Therefore, Hong Qi didn't know that Pei's daughter was going to marry the eldest son of Baituoshan, he only thought that Pei Xiang and the second son Ouyang Feng were unmarried couples.

"Brother Ouyang, Mr. Hong has heard the name of White Camel Mountain for a long time, so it is a pleasure to meet you."

Ouyang Feng nodded slightly, said no more, just raised his jaw in the direction of the flower picker, silently urging.

Hong Qi scratched his head, walked to the flower picker and knelt down, took out an analgesic ointment from his bosom and applied it on him, helped him bandage a few fractures, fed a first-aid pill and put it on his heart. Some internal force has been input into the veins.After a lot of work, it was considered that the flower picker's injury was stabilized.

Seeing that the flower picker won't die at any time, Hong Qi got up and said:

"Hey, Miss Pei, Brother Ouyang, I'll take him away first, and I'll notify you two after I finish the interrogation?"

Ouyang Feng didn't know what important news Hong Qi was going to get out of the flower picker, but he was more worried that Hong Qi would show mercy in the end, or promise to spare his life in exchange for the flower picker's confession.

"This man is an enemy of White Camel Mountain. I can't let you take him away just like that," Ouyang Feng said calmly. Hand it over to Young Master Hong for his own disposal."

Hong Qi was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "What does Brother Ouyang mean?"

"We are destined to meet each other. I can invite Young Master Hong to stay here for a few days. There is still a vacant room in the front yard, which is convenient for Young Master to interrogate this thief."

Hong Qi saw that Ouyang Feng was persistent, and Pei Xiang, the hero who really caught the flower picker, didn't object, and agreed to Ouyang Feng's invitation without much hesitation.

Seeing that Hong Qi was so straightforward, Ouyang Feng's attitude softened a little.

In the final analysis, he still pays more attention to respect for Hong Qi, a comparable peer. If there was no previous misunderstanding, he would not have been so cold and impatient all the time.

Of course, Ouyang Feng was absolutely unwilling to admit that the reason why he kept his face dark was because he was choked by the "loving" gaze of a 20-year-old girl in his 15s.

After temporarily negotiating the treatment of the flower pickers, Pei Xiang and Ouyang Feng began to detoxify the guards around them.Because it was necessary to conceal the fact that Pei Xiang was proficient in poison art and pharmacology, most of the rescue steps had to be done by Ouyang Feng himself.Regarding this, Ouyang Feng didn't find it troublesome, but every time he woke up a subordinate, the training plan for the White Camel Mountain Guard in his heart became more serious.

Two days later, Hong Qigong found Pei Xiang and Ouyang Feng, and told them with a smile that he had already asked the answer he wanted from the flower picker.

Seeing Hong Qi's rich expression of "Quickly ask me, quickly ask me", Pei Xiang couldn't help laughing, so he followed his heart and asked aloud:

"Great Xia Hong, what news do you want to get out of that flower picker? Can you tell me and Second Young Master?"

Hong Qi touched the wine gourd on his waist and sighed:

"That's really a despicable villain. He collected a lot of personal belongings from his daughter's family by relying on drugs and light skills, and used them to threaten those poor girls and their families. I insisted on interrogating him this time because I wanted to know what he put Where are those objects hidden? Hey, we must find them out as soon as possible, and then destroy them all without leaving the ground.”

"Are those things hidden in the Jiangnan area?"

"Some were left in Jiangnan, and the other part was brought by the thieves. It is said that they wanted to sell them on the black market for money. Hey, the original owners of those objects were all young ladies from rich and noble families, and their parents and elders were all famous. For the sake of face, it is easy to be threatened and blackmailed."

"In this case, we really must find out as soon as possible," Pei Xiangning said with eyebrows, "Once those things fall into the hands of criminals again, it may kill some young lives."

Hong Qi nodded repeatedly, and at the same time squinted at Ouyang Feng who was sitting above him, hesitant to speak.

Ouyang Feng pretended not to notice Hong Qi's eyes, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea with a willful and indifferent expression.

Seeing this, Hong Qi secretly thought that he and this person were really at odds, obviously there was no festival, but they just couldn't get close.On the contrary, Miss Pei has a chivalrous heart and a straightforward personality like a child of the world, and she is more relaxed and comfortable when getting along, but it's a pity...

——The family did not choose a good husband-in-law for her.

"Brother Ouyang, I see that you have been carrying a little black snake. You must be very proficient in snake control?"

"Master Hong, controlling snakes and driving snakes is White Camel Mountain's housekeeping skill."

"Well, recently... a large number of poisonous snakes have appeared in the Songhe Valley of Shilipo in the suburbs, but are they domesticated by Ouyang's family?"

Ouyang Feng let out a "hmm".

Hong Qi's eyes lit up, and he said quickly:

"Brother Ouyang, according to the thief, he hid his things in Songhe Valley. He originally planned to trade with people in the black market, but because of the sudden appearance of swarms of poisonous snakes, he dared not approach Songhe Valley. Come down. He wants to wait until the poisonous snake recedes, and then notify those blood-sucking bugs to get the trading items. Hehe, to be honest, Hong didn’t like those cold poisons before, he only thought snake meat was delicious. After this time, it was I really appreciate the presence of the snakes."

Ouyang Feng put down his teacup, knowingly asked:

"Young Master Hong wants me to let the group of snakes exit Songhe Valley? So that you can get things?"

Hong Qi chuckled and nodded quickly.

Ouyang Feng pondered for a while, and instead of directly agreeing, he asked:

"With Young Master Hong's skill, he can move freely among the snakes. Why do you want to ask me?"

Hong Qi said solemnly: "I can indeed take out what I want from the snakes, but it is inevitable to kill many poisonous snakes during this period. If it was before, I would have rushed directly into Songhe Valley. But now Ouyang and I Brother and Miss Pei got acquainted earlier, and heard that a group of snakes accidentally blocked the transaction, so they didn't want to slaughter the poisonous snakes on White Camel Mountain, so they came to discuss this matter with Brother Ouyang."

"So, I have to thank Young Master Hong for his mercy."

"Where is it? It's Hong who doesn't want to be an enemy of Brother Ouyang." Hong Qi said cautiously and modestly.

These words finally made Ouyang Feng show his first smile today:

"Since Brother Hong values ​​love and righteousness so much, I, Baituoshan, also hope to get along with the beggar gang and help each other. In this way, Brother Hong and I will go to the Songhe Valley to lure the poisonous snake away, which is very convenient. Brother Hong is looking for something."

Hong Qi was slightly depressed, and thought that this person could really get along with each other. With just a few words, did Baituoshan get along with the beggar gang?The brothers in the beggar gang are all good at catching and eating snakes, so why do they want to be friends with those who raise and play with snakes?

When it comes to the relationship between gang forces, Hong Qi dares to agree casually. He is the deputy gang leader, so he must be more cautious sometimes.

Seeing Ouyang Feng getting up to leave, Hong Qi hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, Second Master Ouyang, don't worry."

Ouyang Feng stood up with a smile.

Hong Qi rubbed the bridge of his nose: "This, brother Ouyang is serious, our personal friendship does not need to be involved in the sect relationship at all, it is too complicated, hahaha, hahaha..."

The smile on Ouyang Feng's face faded, and he looked at Hong Qi with raised eyebrows.

Hong Qi changed his mind, and tentatively blinked at Pei Xiang who was beside him.

Pei Xiang was slightly taken aback when he received Hong Qi's call for help.

She thought to herself that the relationship between herself and Ouyang Feng was really not very close, and she wondered what kind of misunderstanding Hong Qi had, thinking that this kind of plastic, quasi-uncle, and sister-in-law feelings that could be broken at any time could affect Ouyang Feng's attitude.

——However, at this time, it is really necessary to build a step for the two of them to go down.

"Songhe Valley? The name is a place with quiet and elegant scenery. Can Hong Daxia tell me where the word 'Songhe' comes from? Are there really cranes in the valley?"

——In the twenty characters left by Huang Chang, isn't there "pine" and "crane"?

"Haha, Songhe Valley in Shilipo in the suburbs is indeed a good place. I heard from the little beggars in the city that before there were no poisonous snakes, the literati in the city liked to go to Songhe Valley to read poems and enjoy the scenery. Drinking tea, there are many tourists in the valley, and it is very famous in the vicinity. As for the crane you mentioned, it is said that there are no, but there are many pine trees in the valley."

Pei Xiang smiled and said: "Isn't the person who named the valley unavoidable? As long as there is 'pine', he must use 'crane' to make up it. It seems that if the word 'songhe' is not used, there will be no artistic conception of idle clouds and wild cranes." gone."

"Haha, Miss Pei, your evaluation is a bit tricky," Hong Qi joked, "Although there are no real white cranes in the valley, there is a blue lake in the valley. The lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the mountains and rocks outside the valley. I heard the locals It is said that every day at ten o'clock at noon, stone shadows like cranes will be reflected on the lake, which is very realistic, and the valley is full of pines, so it is called Songhe Valley."

Pei Xiang came to a sudden: "So that's the case."

——This is a veritable "Song Yin Crane Shadow".

While thinking about finding clues to the "Nine Yin Manual", she did not forget to reconcile the relationship between Ouyang Feng and Hong Qi. She turned to look at Ouyang Feng and said happily:

"Second Young Master, I want to see if the crane shadow in the lake is really like a crane."

Ouyang Feng took off a jade pendant from his body and handed it to Pei Xiang: "Take this to Songhe Valley, snakes and insects dare not approach you."

"Aren't you going?"

Ouyang Feng said reservedly: "These days I've been busy with chores and neglected my martial arts training, so I won't go out for fun."

Pei Xiang's eyes sparkled slightly, she pinched Ouyang Feng's self-defense jade pendant and smiled, and suggested in a brisk tone:

"Actually, if Second Young Master can exchange ideas with Daxia Hong a few more times, it will definitely be more rewarding than blindly practicing behind closed doors. The environment in Songhe Valley is quiet, and there are few people around because of the snakes recently, so it is very suitable for you. The two exchanged martial arts and confirmed what they had learned in the past."

Ouyang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously he was tempted by this suggestion.

Pei Xiang glanced at Hong Qi with a smile.

Hong Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Ouyang is very skillful, and his moves are exquisite. Hong is deeply impressed. After the contest that night, I have always hoped to discuss the essence of martial arts with Brother Ouyang. It just so happens that there are rocks and water in Songhe Valley, and the trees are sparse. It's dense, very suitable for learning martial arts and improving moves, Hong wants to invite Brother Ouyang to go with him."

Seeing Hong Qi's sincerity, Ouyang Feng thought for a moment before reluctantly agreeing:

"Since Brother Hong sincerely invites you, let's go to Songhe Valley together."
