[Gu Jian Qi Tan II] Nine Songs Mountain Ghost [Xie Yi X A Ruan]
Chapter 38: The Body Like Qingping
In the middle of the night, Jingshui Lake.
The frost and cold of the moonlight seemed to shine into the house, but it didn't feel any chill.
He saw Xie Yi packing his luggage, but Ah Ruan could only watch quietly from the side.
Drought in Heluo...it sounds very far away...will Xie Yi take her there?
After a while, Ah Ruan finally plucked up the courage and asked him in a low voice, "Brother Xie Yi, where is He Luo...?"
Xie Yi's hand that was about to grab the Yanjia parts paused for a while, thinking for a while.
"It's the place between the Yellow River and the Luoshui River."
Xie Yi looked northwest from the window: "As long as you keep walking in that direction, you will be there."
After walking to Heluo, further west, it is the Western Regions...
After all, he was going to embark on this road.
As time passed, the night became darker and darker, and the little stars shone faintly under the night.
In the northwest of Jingshui Lake, there is a mountain spring meandering down. Xie Yi leaned over to fill up the water bag. The moonlight was clear, but it reflected his breath-taking profile, just like the first time he saw it.
Ah Ruan felt a little strange, she was still the same as before, but she always felt that there seemed to be something in the dark that made Xie Yi farther and farther away from her.
"Brother Xie Yi..." Ah Ruan said with difficulty, "You will take me to Heluo..."
The white skirt fluttered in the wind, he was a little surprised, and looked up at her: "Why do you ask that?"
"Well, that... I hope Brother Xie Yi's wish can come true soon, Ah Ruan... Ah Ruan wants to help Brother Xie Yi!" Since hearing what Xie Yi and Ye Hai said at the inn last time, Ah Ruan's I made up my mind.
She lowered her head slightly, wondering if Xie Yi would say that she was messing around...
After a long silence, suddenly, a warm laughter sounded, and Xie Yi jokingly asked again: "Oh? Ah Ruan really wants to help me?"
"Really," Ah Ruan was very sure, nodded his head, and added, "If brother Xie Yi doesn't believe it, both Xiao Hong and Ah Li can testify."
At the foot, Ahli nodded and raised her little paw; while Xiaohong was in a fugue state...
"Then, can Ah Ruan answer a question that is bothering me?"
Ah Ruan just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but Xie Yi was one step ahead of her, and gently raised his hand to caress Ah Ruan's cheek, the long-lost warmth seemed to reach directly to the warmth in his heart, his eyes were soft and somewhat expectant, and asked : "Why do you want to thank Brother Yi for you?"
"Because Brother Xie Yi is a very important person to me. You are my first and only friend in this mortal world." She blurted out this answer without thinking.
"Ah Ruan's answer, so...it's this..." The tone seemed to be sighing, and it seemed that he had heard this answer for the second time.
The first time was five years ago.
The second time is now.
In Langde village five years ago, Xie Yi would never forget the fire tree and warm lamp that night.
That night, Xie Yi noticed the actions of A Ruan and Huyan Caiwei, Huyan Caiwei, who never shed tears, wiped her tears silently in the dimly lit place.
Originally, it was just out of concern for his friends, he didn't intend to eavesdrop on purpose.
He will never forget that Huyan Caiwei, who was slightly drunk at the time, asked A Ruan solemnly what Xie Yi was to her.
As soon as Huyan Caiwei said this, Xie Yi's heart was full of confusion.Yes, I have been with A Ruan for a long time, so what is he, a wanderer, to her?
family?
friend?
Or...is...
"Brother Xie Yi?" Why didn't he speak?Ah Ruan raised his eyes, met his gaze, and asked doubtfully.
"It's okay, Ah Ruan doesn't have to worry about me."
Xie Yi withdrew the hand that was caressing her cheek, and Xie Yi smiled lightly, but there was a look in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
She felt a little empty in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, and asked him: "Then, brother Xie Yi agrees to take me to Heluo?"
"Silly girl, when did I say I wouldn't take you there?" Xie Yi bent his lips, and lightly slapped her on the head with his hand.
"Hurry up and pack things up. If you procrastinate any longer, I'm going to change my mind."
Ah Ruan stretched out his arms and hugged his waist, smiling as brightly as the sun.
The place in my heart that was so overwhelmed by heavy burdens that it was almost frozen.Now, finally, a ray of sunlight shines in directly, as if in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you can suddenly see hope in the distance.
Sometimes, the sun that is regarded as the sun that people rely on can bring people warmth like a spring breeze.Similarly, someone needs to convey that same warmth.
Because only such a heart can truly turn into——that Wang Chunshui.
----split line----
ten days later.
Near Luoyang, Henan.
As we get closer to the destination, the scene of bone-deep and famine along the way becomes more and more chaotic and desolate.
"Brother Xie Yi..." Ah Ruan couldn't bear to watch the situation anymore, "Is it all because of the drought?"
"Yes." Xie Yi was in a deep heart, and he couldn't bear the suffering of the people, "Let's go, let's get to the Heluo area as soon as possible, so we can start to alleviate the drought."
"Well, then let's go quickly!" Ah Ruan nodded hastily.
The moonlight was hazy, and the moonlight sprinkled among the mountains and forests. The wild mountainous area was not as peaceful as the still water lake, and the roar of wild animals could be heard from time to time.
The path in the forest was completely dark, and even the moonlight could not penetrate such dense trees.
In the dark, something seems to be coveting.
"I'm afraid there are wild beasts in this forest, Ah Ruan, be careful." Xie Yi did not dare to relax and was very cautious.
Ah Ruan immediately reacted like a conditioned reflex, nodded to Xie Yi and said "Oh".
But when he turned his head, he took out the picture of Taoyuan Xianju and called Xiaohong out.
"Xiao Hong, there seems to be some danger here, you scare them away quickly, Brother Xie Yi and I have to hurry."
The red leopard was sleepy, howling in his heart, why did he call it out in the middle of the night, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter, killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!
"Xiao Hong, don't be in a daze, hurry up!" Ah Ruan urged, pushing it with his hand.
"Hohohohoo!" A certain leopard got angry and didn't dare to yell at Ah Ruan, so he had to do as he wanted to vent his anger.
Leopards are as intimidating as dragons and tigers, but Xiaohong's roars are frightening to hear, and the effect is really extraordinary.The beasts hiding in the darkness were too frightened to make any sound.
The world is so quiet.
"Hehe, Xiaohong is on fire, she's quite majestic." A Ruan touched its furry head and dismissed it again, "Okay, Xiaohong has worked hard, go back to sleep, and wait for the dawn I bought you something delicious~"
Xiaohong's expression immediately collapsed, and when she said rewards, they all said nicely, but in the end it wasn't the one watching from the sidelines...
"Brother Xie Yi, look," Ah Ruan laughed happily, "I just said that I can help Brother Xie Yi."
"Yeah, Ah Ruan is really powerful." Xie Yi smiled with a little headache, "But, who is following in the dark, people have to be wary."
"Hey, there are still people following us!" Ah Ruan looked surprised, and Xie Yi quickly covered her mouth so as not to startle the snake.
Sure enough, Xie Yi was better than her.Still, only a little bit.When Xie Yi let go of his hand a little, Ah Ruan asked softly: "Then why don't we catch it?"
He and A Ruan were the only ones with fluctuating spiritual power around them. The people watching from the dark had no mana at all, so they should be robbers or something.
Xie Yi's lips immediately swayed into a slight smile: "It's not easy to catch those thieves."
In a corner where the moonlight could not see, three men in brocade clothes and iron armor sneaked behind a tree, with three heads lined up according to their height, and they were peeping at the location of Xie Yi and A Ruan not far away.
When the woman in green and the man in white walked away slowly side by side, one of them asked, "Boss, don't you think that girl in green is very similar to that damned stinky girl back then?"
The other objected: "Third brother, what eyes are there? The girl's appearance just now is much better than that dead girl, but in terms of behavior, I secretly think that dead girl is a little more normal."
Why do you think it's acting weird?The reason is very simple. Do ordinary girls raise leopards? !
"Second brother is right." He turned his head back and looked at the top of the biological chain among the three of them. "Brother, what do you think should be done? I can't be sure that this girl is that person." And, he would Said, the man in white next to him is more similar, at least the style of clothes is very similar.
"The behavior and speech of the two of them are very weird. Of course, they must be arrested and interrogated!" The leader is the leader, and he is the worst of the three in terms of fearlessness and judgment...
The insight of the three of them is also quite touching, and they didn't even notice the strangeness behind them.
Xie Yi and Ah Ruan looked at each other and smiled, and they moved their hands in a tacit understanding.
A Ruan urged the vegetation to weave into a net, and a white figure was as fast as a gust of wind, and the Tang knife was thrown out, and the length of the knife just touched the necks of the three of them.
"I don't know what the three of you are asking me for?" The warm and shallow tone was full of arrogance that could not be opposed.
………………
Ah Ruan released Xiaohong again, Xiaohong, who had nowhere to vent her anger, finally had someone to vent her anger on, chased and beat the three of them, and finally knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Grandma, we were wrong! Please let us go!"
"Hmph, it looks like all of you are vicious or thieves, you must not be good people!" Ah Ruan didn't believe their nonsense.
If you want to figure out the reason why these three people followed them, at this time, you have to have a bad face and a bad face.
Xie Yi hurriedly asked Ah Ruan to stop, then looked at the three people who were in a panic with a smile on their faces, and asked: "The three of you are like this, there must be a reason, I wonder if you can tell me, so that I can avoid this disaster."
The three people who were terrified saw that the man in front of them was as jade-like as a gentleman, and they knew that he was easy to talk to, so they said quickly: "We are the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital escorting the relief funds, and the ambush here is not aimed at you, but to investigate the robbery." The hateful villain of disaster money!"
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Xie Yi continued to ask.
The matter is confidential, so the three of them paused. If this matter is leaked, I'm afraid...
Seeing that the three of them hesitated, Xie Yi gave A Ruan a wink slightly.
Ah Ruan immediately understood, and then threatened: "I don't tell the truth at this time, let me teach Xiaohong to teach you a lesson."
After speaking, the three recruited quickly.
"It turns out that the imperial court allocated a sum of money for the disaster..." The boss had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell everything in detail.
☆、Words become an inch (1)
Drought broke out in Heluo in the Central Plains half a year ago, and the river dried up. The people left their homes for a while, and bandits and bandits arose everywhere.
On the official road, a group of people nervously escorted the disaster relief funds sown by the imperial court.But the delivery route was extremely weird. After being escorted from the imperial capital to the vicinity of Heluo, the carbine suddenly came back and forth, and went in another direction, getting farther and farther away from the original destination.
Thousands of miles away, not only people are mentally exhausted, but even Liangju can't stand it anymore and becomes a little irritable.
The leading officer straddled his horse and held a knife. There was a scar on his face that spread from his eyes to his chin. He looked ferocious, not like a soldier, but like a bandit.
Behind him was a thin monkey-like man, who looked around, then clamped his horse's belly, and moved to the side of Brother Scar.
"Brother." The skinny monkey called out in a low voice.
"Huh?" He responded idly, seemingly impatiently, "What's the matter?"
The thin monkey smiled and asked: "Aren't we going to take the money to Heluo? Why..."
The man didn't answer, it seemed that it was because of some guilty conscience.
The thin monkey continued to guess boldly: "It seems that before leaving, on the day of departure from the imperial capital, the prime minister's cronies seem to have come to look for you specially."
"What have you heard?" Scar's heart was suspended, he couldn't help being a little nervous, and secretly scolded the monkey thief behind his back, and he didn't know how much he knew.
He giggled a few times, showing his big yellow teeth, and gestured a few times with his hands: "I didn't hear much, I only got a few words, 'stealing', 'sweet and sweet'..."
Before he finished speaking, the man with the scar gave him a sideways glance, motioning him to keep silent: "Second brother, sometimes, knowing too much is more dangerous."
"Yes, elder brother is right. However, after the matter is completed, elder brother will share with younger brother."
"Naturally, how can I lose my brother's share." The scarred man smiled calmly.
Misappropriation of disaster funds, full of private pockets.
Being an official can only be like a rice hamster, and it is only a matter of time before the internal corruption of the previous dynasty makes it slowly decay and perish.
The two were chatting passionately in private, thinking about how to divide the remaining silver taels.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up, blowing the dry land and blowing up dust. The horses under them seemed to sense that an unknown danger was approaching ahead, and they were restlessly restless and neighing.
Everyone's nerves were almost tense at that moment.
There was a steady sound of horseshoes, and I saw blue hair dancing in the wind, wearing a white sleeved shirt, with exquisite appearance, picturesque eyebrows, and tranquil eyes.
Anyone with a delicate mind will see it, and her bony hands have a strange wooden armor, and the pattern on it is engraved with a Zhicao mark as a coat of arms.The thin monkey was dumbfounded, and he had seen many beauties, but this one was so beautiful that even the whole group of people were dumbfounded.
"Brother, this chick is really good-looking, why don't you take her in now, and let our brothers have a good time." Several people under their hands salivated at the person in front of them, and laughed badly.
"Who is coming?" The man with the scar yelled, although they were taking the official road and passing many common people along the way, he always felt that the coming was not kind.What made him speechless the most was that the group of people under him were still thinking about that kind of thing at this moment, so they were so careless, especially the thin monkey who made this suggestion, would he still want to spend the money? !When the money is distributed later, I won't give him a cent!
The woman stood still in front of him without speaking.
"If you are sensible, Xiao Nizi, quickly get out of the way!" He drew out the knife at his waist and threatened, but the woman's aura was not inferior to him.
"Looking at your attire, you must be officers and soldiers."
The woman raised her eyes, looked them up and down, and spoke in a calm voice without any ups and downs, as if she was just confirming with them.
"Hmph, since the little girl recognizes it, why don't you get out of here quickly?! I've interfered with official duties, so I hope I won't tie you up." The skinny monkey had a smug expression on his face.
"Official business? You said, if you have to swallow up the life-saving money for the people, then what kind of official business is this?" The woman seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed in a low voice with a lazy voice.
"You! What nonsense are you talking about!" Brother Scar's psychological quality is not bad, but at this juncture, he can only get angry and yell to defend himself.
"That's right, you're talking nonsense. I'm doing things for the people of the world. It can be said that I am conscientious. If you speak rudely, you are clearly slandering us!" The thin monkey spoke righteously, and also chimed in.
"Oh? You can say these words without shame. You must have a thicker skin than a city wall, but you don't know that all the officials in the world will be ashamed of you." The woman raised her lips slightly, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and the arrogance of her brows was fully displayed .
"You, you stinky girl...!" Her words hit the heart, sonorous and forceful, making people unable to hide.
She then resumed her calm tone and said: "The drought in Heluo has lasted for more than half a year. If I remember correctly, this is already the second appropriation from the imperial court, but why did the disaster funds finally reach the people? That pitiful little bit? I know that the prefect of the Heluo side is a clean and honest official. Then the problem can only be found in the first step before the people get the disaster funds, that is, during the escort. Tell me, who made it for?"
After a short period of silence, there was a sudden sound like an explosion.
Brother Scar had a look of embarrassment after being exposed, his face turned red and then pale, and several unsuspecting officers and soldiers were whispering to each other and pointing at him.
He was furious, and the hand holding the knife was shaking with anger: "You are looking for death, see if I don't cut you!!"
Things have developed to this point, and there will only be two outcomes: the most likely is that there are so many officers and soldiers, and the woman who robbed the money cannot support herself alone; and the least likely is that if the woman has divine help, she can With a weak quality, he completely defeated everyone.
But Xie Yi didn't expect it to be the most unlikely situation.
When the knife was unbiased and slashed straight at the woman, he didn't expect that just when it was about to hit, a special air flow erupted from her body.
She was able to stand in a stalemate with him without making a move.And Brother Scar's hand holding the knife was numb, with a sense of oppression.
At the same time, the originally cloudless sky above was shrouded in dark clouds, and a white light rose from the thick clouds, like thunder, breaking the deadlock and tearing apart the dark curtain...
"Even if I think about it now, that girl scares me a lot. She doesn't look like a human being at all. It's probably some kind of monster!" Looking silly, he sighed aside.
"Stop talking nonsense." Hearing their descriptions up to this point, A Ruan gradually wanted to favor the girl who had never met her before. Finally, Ah Ruan couldn't help but interjected, "I see, you are bad people! That girl knows what you want Do bad things, so I have to teach you a good lesson. This is what you deserve, but no one else is to blame."
"What are you talking about, little girl? We are teachers of justice!" The elder brother with a beard turned pale, and he was still trying to defend himself.
"Hmph, then you are still planning to save money, what are you if you are not a bad person?!" Compared with these people who are full of justice but are actually hypocritical, Ah Ruan thinks that the woman who robbed the disaster fund must be a good person!
"You!" The bearded man opened his eyes angrily, and dared not speak out, but when he got closer, he saw the Zhicao imprint on A Ruan's chest, and immediately sneered again, "I said, how could you help her say that?" Good word, so you are with her!"
As soon as this remark came out, even Xie Yi was a little taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's so weird, I don't even know who she is." Ah Ruan crossed his arms. Could it be that this person has some brain problems?
He pointed to the Zhicao seal on Ah Ruan's chest, and said: "That woman has a wooden armor on her hand, and the pattern on it is this."
What?Exactly the same pattern? !
Hearing what he said, the thin monkey also thought of it, and praised: "Brother has bright eyes! Isn't this pattern the same pattern?" He looked up and down carefully, "You and her look alike, could it be sisters?"
"A Ruan has no other relatives, only me." Xie Yi stepped forward to protect A Ruan, and put his coat on her body to cover up the Zhicao mark on her chest.
"This……"
Believe it or not?The three looked at each other.
"Hey, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll let Xiaohong deal with you!" Even A Ruan couldn't bear the nonsense of these three people, and threatened, "Hurry up and continue telling me, the story is not finished yet! "
……story? !
The three were speechless.
........................
"If you run away quickly, I will let the past go and let you live."
Qingsi fluttering in the wind, she is still holding the strange wooden armor in her hand, and the white light around her makes people feel that she has a powerful and daunting aura.
"Dream!" That's his money!The man with the scar closed his eyes tightly, resisting desperately.
"It would be great if your persistence was used in the right way. But, it's a pity." The clean and oppressive voice sounded, and the woman seemed to have overcome gravity, suspended in midair, and surpassed everyone.
Everyone panicked: "This... this is impossible!"
"I'll say it again, run or die." She said coldly, the temperature seemed to be able to freeze everything.
☆、Words become an inch (2)
Run or die...?
"Then why are you here? There are no other officers and soldiers here. Are you deserters?"
Xie Yi looked at the three of them, although they were in a state of distress, they were alive and kicking, they didn't look like they had walked through the gate of hell.
"I...we..." The three were dumbfounded.
"It's a guilty conscience if you can't speak, then you must be a deserter." A Ruan covered her mouth and laughed.
"You little girl, why do you speak so badly..." The three of them looked embarrassed.
"Ouch--!"
At this time, a howl of wolves came, which made people jump.
Even the woman A Ruan didn't panic, the three of them were already shivering and huddling together, fearing tigers and wolves.
"Brother...Brother! There are wolves, if I had known, I wouldn't have come here to swim in the muddy water!" The second child was very flustered.
"Well, the second brother has expressed the feelings of the younger brother, let's go back!"
"Since the two virtuous brothers have this intention, let's go back to the imperial capital. It doesn't matter if we have no money or power. As long as the three brothers are safe and sound, it is the greatest happiness! Let's go!" The bearded beard gave an order, and the three of them I want to escape.
"Hey! Don't go!"
Ah Ruan wanted to catch those three people back, but Xie Yi put his hands on her shoulders: "Forget it, let them go."
The information you want to know is almost obtained, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.
Proficient in spells and not inferior to Xie Yi's Bushi Yanshu, the coat of arms on the Yanjia is exactly the same as the Zhicao seal... Is it a coincidence that such a woman of unknown origin, or...
....................................
Baiyu Mountain is the source of Luoshui water source.
In the afterglow of the west mountain at dusk, the whole Baiyu Mountain glowed with golden light.
"Brother Xie Yi, that tree..."
At the end that A Ruan pointed to, beside the dry river, there was a tall tree that was entangled with twins and grew together, but now the water source is exhausted, and it is no longer the grand scene of the past.
"This is..." Xie Yi almost blurted out, "Lian Lizhi..."
"That's right, it's the tree of marriage." The voice was clear and calm, telling them a beautiful story, "It is said that this tree is the result of a pair of lovers who were opposed by their families and chose to die in love. If, if someone with predestined relationship finds a tree that is over a hundred years old and prays sincerely to make a wish, then the wish they made will definitely come true."
Xie Yi looked back, and found that figure was not far away, and there was a dead flower garden, the figure was facing away from him and A Ruan.Her black hair is like ink, some of which are naturally scattered on her shoulders, and she is wearing a phantom robe.The dark green base is mainly white, which is a little different.
Xie Yi felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, could it be an old friend?
Thinking of this, Xie Yi couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, he didn't have many friends in the lower realm; if he was a person from Liuyue City, he would be regarded as a traitor now, so he wouldn't be an old friend, right?
Just as he was about to ask aloud, his hand was pulled under the Lianli tree by a force.
"Wow, so this tree has this purpose." A Ruan looked surprised, and quickly let go of Xie Yi's sleeves, clasped his hands together, "Brother Xie Yi, let's make a wish too!"
Xie Yi shook his head with a smile, and asked in a doting tone: "Ah Ruan's wish, wouldn't it be a roasted pork leg that can never be eaten?"
Ah Ruan was a little annoyed, and rolled his eyes at Xie Yi: "That's not true, I... The wish I want to make is of course..."
Of course it will always be with Brother Xie Yi!
But once these words came to his lips, he couldn't say them no matter what, even Xie Yi didn't dare to tell her lightly, for fear that he would show his helplessness again and tell her: Ah Ruan, you still don't understand anything. .
But she always thought so in her heart, like a secret buried deep in her heart.So, as long as you know it, it's fine.
"This girl doesn't need to make a wish." The voice sounded again, but without warning, A Ruan was poured a bucket of cold water.
"Why, can it be that others allow it, but brother Xie Yi and I can't?" A Ruan was extremely dissatisfied with the voice that suddenly appeared to spoil her mood.
"Because, even if you make a wish, it won't come true."
"You! How can you say it? It's too much!" Ah Ruan only felt that this person was too rude.
"Miss misunderstood," the man laughed. "Everyone who makes a wish is a loving person. Could it be that the girl and the young master next to you are already married or a couple? I don't think so."
A few words put Ah Ruan in a fog.
"Love...fix...resistance...grain?" What does it mean, she has never heard of it before, "Hey, who are you?"
The figure slowly approached, and when she saw the faces of Ah Ruan and Xie Yi clearly, she froze in her footsteps, but her expression seemed to anticipate their appearance.
"Hey, I think I've seen you before!"
Ah Ruan looked at her, wasn't she the same girl from the Langde Tavern before?I didn't see what kind of character she was before, and I didn't expect her to speak so viciously...
Ignoring Ah Ruan, the man bent down slightly, touched another withered and dead Lianli tree not far away, and stroked the vines that had been dried by the sun.
Before, she was still talking at length, talking about some legends, and she was not allowed to make a wish, but now, she completely blocked her: "Hmph! Ignore people!"
Hearing what A Ruan said, the confusion in Xie Yi's heart also became clear, no wonder he also felt familiar, it turned out that he had already had a casual relationship in Langde.
He cupped his hands slightly, and asked: "Your Majesty came to Baiyu Mountain to solve the drought in Heluo. I don't know if the girl is from this place? Can you introduce the magistrate here for the two of us?"
"I also just arrived here a few days ago. There are no officials here, but there is a village where the village head is in charge." The man straightened up, and then turned to look at him and A Ruan.
I have never met her before, but the feeling she brings to people is clean and gentle.Although this girl was unfamiliar, she made him feel so kind.
"I have met the village head here before, and he also told me the general situation here, so I came to this mountain to investigate."
The source of Heluo, that is, Baiyu Mountain, has experienced good weather and weather over the years, but a year ago, the river suddenly dried up, and the reason is unknown.
In the past, the law of drainage was used to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If we want to eradicate it, we still need to find the root cause.
"Then do you know where the place we are stepping on was originally?" She looked at Xie Yi with a smile in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to his answer.
"Could it be that this place is the original birthplace of the entire Luoshui?" The man nodded approvingly, Xie Yi looked around and saw that it had already dried up. No wonder the drought in Heluo affected the entire Luoshui area.
"That's right." She said calmly, "For some reason, the water veins in this place have become disordered. But if you come to investigate, you will be able to find the reason."
"Thank you for telling me so much, Miss." He was modest and polite, and this girl really helped him a lot.
"You don't have to be so polite. It's just a matter of raising your hands for me to help you." She smiled, but people couldn't take their eyes off her.
At this time, Ah Ruan was full of complaints, this girl was so kind to Xie Yi, but she had a different tone and expression towards her, she was really partial!
"Hey, who the hell are you? Why are you telling Brother Xie Yi these things? Could it be that you want to do something bad?" Ah Ruan stared at her closely. Xie Yi once said that if a person treats you well, then it's not I like you, but I want to borrow money from you.The former seems unlikely, after all, I have only met her twice, and brother Xie Yi may not necessarily like her.Then, it's the latter, "You don't want to borrow money from brother Xie Yi, do you?"
"Ah Ruan, it's rude of you to say that." Xie Yi apologized to that person on her behalf, "I'm really sorry, she is ignorant, girl, don't worry about it."
I don't understand, I don't understand... I don't understand...
"Hmph, I'm not sensible anymore." Ah Ruan defended in a low voice, even brother Xie Yi didn't help her.
"Hehe, I don't know what the girl's name is, why are you here?" Xie Yi rubbed Ah Ruan's head, motioning her to keep quiet, looking at the woman, and asked.
She smiled calmly, and Xie Yi's way of questioning was more natural compared to asking her where she came from.
Xie Yi still looked at her with a smile until the muscles at the corners of his mouth became a little sore from his laughter, but she still didn't speak.
☆、Words become an inch (3)
Oh my god, if the little girl doesn't speak anymore, the muscles at the corners of his mouth are going to twitch when he laughs...
"Miss Yan Cheng, so you are here, it will be easier for me to find you." A sudden voice broke the awkward situation, Xie Yi and A Ruan Qi turned their heads, and it was Bai Yushan from the village at the foot of the mountain. village head.
The village head saw that there were two other people, recognized them again, and said with a smile: "Oh, there are Mr. Xie Yi and Miss Ruan, what a coincidence, I thought I'd bring you two here too, I didn't expect all three of you to be here."
Hearing that, after knowing the general situation, the woman also bowed to Xie Yi: "It turns out that it is Mr. Xie Yi, who has admired his name for a long time."
The woman left Ah Ruan aside again.
Damn, this girl...
The veins on the temple beside Ah Ruan's forehead twitched involuntarily...
"Ah...this girl...you, hello." Xie Yi didn't expect the other party to be so polite to him. His current name is generally only a little famous among Yanshi who is familiar with Yanshu. "Since the girl knows my name, does that also belong to Yanshi?"
"I'm not talking about 'Tong Xiao' Yanshu, but Mr. Xie's name... I've heard of it for a long time, and I've thought about it a lot..." The other party thought for a moment, but in an instant, his thoughts were full.
"Thought a lot? I don't know what the girl is thinking?" A little girl who is only about eighteen or nineteen years old has thought about his name for a long time?What does this make him dumb?
She shook her head slightly, with a slightly unclear smile on her face: "It's just that I once imagined what it would be like to meet you, but I didn't expect that I would formally meet you under such circumstances. "
A bit of surprise, a bit of embarrassment; a bit of sadness...
"Formal... meet?" Xie Yi was taken aback, always feeling that her words were a little hazy, making it hard to figure out.
"Here, let me introduce myself," she said with a slight smile on her gentle face, with a natural temperament like jade in the rough, "My surname is Yan Cheng, and my name is like tears."
Yan Chengru tears?
This double surname is quite rare.
Xie Yi only felt that the name was inexplicably familiar.
Yan Cheng...
such as... tears...
Ah Ruan was a little confused, so he propped his chin and slandered: Strange, isn't it just that the name is a little longer?Why did Brother Xie Yi not even blink his eyes when he looked at her?
Xie Yi was struggling to search for information in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the specific day.But he could infer that it was something that happened in the past few years.
It seems that he heard this name once when exchanging news with Ye Hai.
"My friend, I have been shy recently, can you donate money and help me?" Ye Hai's shameless, shameless voice sounded in the Yanjia bird, "Since the Battle of Dunhuang City, the devilish energy in my body has been destroyed. It has not been completely eliminated, so I have to buy golden elixir medicine to suspend it, and I am so poor..."
Xie Yi shook his head helplessly, Ye Hai's tricks had already been exhausted, relying on his healed old injuries to ask him to borrow money with a thick skin like a city wall, did he really think he was running a bank?
So, he sent a message back and said: "Our hero Ye Yushu is facing the wind, and the peach blossoms are endless, so we must not be short of these little money."
A few days later, I heard Ye Hai's half-joking and half-angry voice: "Huh, thank you Master Yan, you don't help your friends when they are in trouble. Now it is rumored that a piece of Yan armor you made can be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold, but I don't know The younger generation is awesome. Some time ago, I don’t know where it came from
The frost and cold of the moonlight seemed to shine into the house, but it didn't feel any chill.
He saw Xie Yi packing his luggage, but Ah Ruan could only watch quietly from the side.
Drought in Heluo...it sounds very far away...will Xie Yi take her there?
After a while, Ah Ruan finally plucked up the courage and asked him in a low voice, "Brother Xie Yi, where is He Luo...?"
Xie Yi's hand that was about to grab the Yanjia parts paused for a while, thinking for a while.
"It's the place between the Yellow River and the Luoshui River."
Xie Yi looked northwest from the window: "As long as you keep walking in that direction, you will be there."
After walking to Heluo, further west, it is the Western Regions...
After all, he was going to embark on this road.
As time passed, the night became darker and darker, and the little stars shone faintly under the night.
In the northwest of Jingshui Lake, there is a mountain spring meandering down. Xie Yi leaned over to fill up the water bag. The moonlight was clear, but it reflected his breath-taking profile, just like the first time he saw it.
Ah Ruan felt a little strange, she was still the same as before, but she always felt that there seemed to be something in the dark that made Xie Yi farther and farther away from her.
"Brother Xie Yi..." Ah Ruan said with difficulty, "You will take me to Heluo..."
The white skirt fluttered in the wind, he was a little surprised, and looked up at her: "Why do you ask that?"
"Well, that... I hope Brother Xie Yi's wish can come true soon, Ah Ruan... Ah Ruan wants to help Brother Xie Yi!" Since hearing what Xie Yi and Ye Hai said at the inn last time, Ah Ruan's I made up my mind.
She lowered her head slightly, wondering if Xie Yi would say that she was messing around...
After a long silence, suddenly, a warm laughter sounded, and Xie Yi jokingly asked again: "Oh? Ah Ruan really wants to help me?"
"Really," Ah Ruan was very sure, nodded his head, and added, "If brother Xie Yi doesn't believe it, both Xiao Hong and Ah Li can testify."
At the foot, Ahli nodded and raised her little paw; while Xiaohong was in a fugue state...
"Then, can Ah Ruan answer a question that is bothering me?"
Ah Ruan just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but Xie Yi was one step ahead of her, and gently raised his hand to caress Ah Ruan's cheek, the long-lost warmth seemed to reach directly to the warmth in his heart, his eyes were soft and somewhat expectant, and asked : "Why do you want to thank Brother Yi for you?"
"Because Brother Xie Yi is a very important person to me. You are my first and only friend in this mortal world." She blurted out this answer without thinking.
"Ah Ruan's answer, so...it's this..." The tone seemed to be sighing, and it seemed that he had heard this answer for the second time.
The first time was five years ago.
The second time is now.
In Langde village five years ago, Xie Yi would never forget the fire tree and warm lamp that night.
That night, Xie Yi noticed the actions of A Ruan and Huyan Caiwei, Huyan Caiwei, who never shed tears, wiped her tears silently in the dimly lit place.
Originally, it was just out of concern for his friends, he didn't intend to eavesdrop on purpose.
He will never forget that Huyan Caiwei, who was slightly drunk at the time, asked A Ruan solemnly what Xie Yi was to her.
As soon as Huyan Caiwei said this, Xie Yi's heart was full of confusion.Yes, I have been with A Ruan for a long time, so what is he, a wanderer, to her?
family?
friend?
Or...is...
"Brother Xie Yi?" Why didn't he speak?Ah Ruan raised his eyes, met his gaze, and asked doubtfully.
"It's okay, Ah Ruan doesn't have to worry about me."
Xie Yi withdrew the hand that was caressing her cheek, and Xie Yi smiled lightly, but there was a look in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
She felt a little empty in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face, and asked him: "Then, brother Xie Yi agrees to take me to Heluo?"
"Silly girl, when did I say I wouldn't take you there?" Xie Yi bent his lips, and lightly slapped her on the head with his hand.
"Hurry up and pack things up. If you procrastinate any longer, I'm going to change my mind."
Ah Ruan stretched out his arms and hugged his waist, smiling as brightly as the sun.
The place in my heart that was so overwhelmed by heavy burdens that it was almost frozen.Now, finally, a ray of sunlight shines in directly, as if in the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you can suddenly see hope in the distance.
Sometimes, the sun that is regarded as the sun that people rely on can bring people warmth like a spring breeze.Similarly, someone needs to convey that same warmth.
Because only such a heart can truly turn into——that Wang Chunshui.
----split line----
ten days later.
Near Luoyang, Henan.
As we get closer to the destination, the scene of bone-deep and famine along the way becomes more and more chaotic and desolate.
"Brother Xie Yi..." Ah Ruan couldn't bear to watch the situation anymore, "Is it all because of the drought?"
"Yes." Xie Yi was in a deep heart, and he couldn't bear the suffering of the people, "Let's go, let's get to the Heluo area as soon as possible, so we can start to alleviate the drought."
"Well, then let's go quickly!" Ah Ruan nodded hastily.
The moonlight was hazy, and the moonlight sprinkled among the mountains and forests. The wild mountainous area was not as peaceful as the still water lake, and the roar of wild animals could be heard from time to time.
The path in the forest was completely dark, and even the moonlight could not penetrate such dense trees.
In the dark, something seems to be coveting.
"I'm afraid there are wild beasts in this forest, Ah Ruan, be careful." Xie Yi did not dare to relax and was very cautious.
Ah Ruan immediately reacted like a conditioned reflex, nodded to Xie Yi and said "Oh".
But when he turned his head, he took out the picture of Taoyuan Xianju and called Xiaohong out.
"Xiao Hong, there seems to be some danger here, you scare them away quickly, Brother Xie Yi and I have to hurry."
The red leopard was sleepy, howling in his heart, why did he call it out in the middle of the night, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter, killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!
"Xiao Hong, don't be in a daze, hurry up!" Ah Ruan urged, pushing it with his hand.
"Hohohohoo!" A certain leopard got angry and didn't dare to yell at Ah Ruan, so he had to do as he wanted to vent his anger.
Leopards are as intimidating as dragons and tigers, but Xiaohong's roars are frightening to hear, and the effect is really extraordinary.The beasts hiding in the darkness were too frightened to make any sound.
The world is so quiet.
"Hehe, Xiaohong is on fire, she's quite majestic." A Ruan touched its furry head and dismissed it again, "Okay, Xiaohong has worked hard, go back to sleep, and wait for the dawn I bought you something delicious~"
Xiaohong's expression immediately collapsed, and when she said rewards, they all said nicely, but in the end it wasn't the one watching from the sidelines...
"Brother Xie Yi, look," Ah Ruan laughed happily, "I just said that I can help Brother Xie Yi."
"Yeah, Ah Ruan is really powerful." Xie Yi smiled with a little headache, "But, who is following in the dark, people have to be wary."
"Hey, there are still people following us!" Ah Ruan looked surprised, and Xie Yi quickly covered her mouth so as not to startle the snake.
Sure enough, Xie Yi was better than her.Still, only a little bit.When Xie Yi let go of his hand a little, Ah Ruan asked softly: "Then why don't we catch it?"
He and A Ruan were the only ones with fluctuating spiritual power around them. The people watching from the dark had no mana at all, so they should be robbers or something.
Xie Yi's lips immediately swayed into a slight smile: "It's not easy to catch those thieves."
In a corner where the moonlight could not see, three men in brocade clothes and iron armor sneaked behind a tree, with three heads lined up according to their height, and they were peeping at the location of Xie Yi and A Ruan not far away.
When the woman in green and the man in white walked away slowly side by side, one of them asked, "Boss, don't you think that girl in green is very similar to that damned stinky girl back then?"
The other objected: "Third brother, what eyes are there? The girl's appearance just now is much better than that dead girl, but in terms of behavior, I secretly think that dead girl is a little more normal."
Why do you think it's acting weird?The reason is very simple. Do ordinary girls raise leopards? !
"Second brother is right." He turned his head back and looked at the top of the biological chain among the three of them. "Brother, what do you think should be done? I can't be sure that this girl is that person." And, he would Said, the man in white next to him is more similar, at least the style of clothes is very similar.
"The behavior and speech of the two of them are very weird. Of course, they must be arrested and interrogated!" The leader is the leader, and he is the worst of the three in terms of fearlessness and judgment...
The insight of the three of them is also quite touching, and they didn't even notice the strangeness behind them.
Xie Yi and Ah Ruan looked at each other and smiled, and they moved their hands in a tacit understanding.
A Ruan urged the vegetation to weave into a net, and a white figure was as fast as a gust of wind, and the Tang knife was thrown out, and the length of the knife just touched the necks of the three of them.
"I don't know what the three of you are asking me for?" The warm and shallow tone was full of arrogance that could not be opposed.
………………
Ah Ruan released Xiaohong again, Xiaohong, who had nowhere to vent her anger, finally had someone to vent her anger on, chased and beat the three of them, and finally knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Grandma, we were wrong! Please let us go!"
"Hmph, it looks like all of you are vicious or thieves, you must not be good people!" Ah Ruan didn't believe their nonsense.
If you want to figure out the reason why these three people followed them, at this time, you have to have a bad face and a bad face.
Xie Yi hurriedly asked Ah Ruan to stop, then looked at the three people who were in a panic with a smile on their faces, and asked: "The three of you are like this, there must be a reason, I wonder if you can tell me, so that I can avoid this disaster."
The three people who were terrified saw that the man in front of them was as jade-like as a gentleman, and they knew that he was easy to talk to, so they said quickly: "We are the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital escorting the relief funds, and the ambush here is not aimed at you, but to investigate the robbery." The hateful villain of disaster money!"
"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Xie Yi continued to ask.
The matter is confidential, so the three of them paused. If this matter is leaked, I'm afraid...
Seeing that the three of them hesitated, Xie Yi gave A Ruan a wink slightly.
Ah Ruan immediately understood, and then threatened: "I don't tell the truth at this time, let me teach Xiaohong to teach you a lesson."
After speaking, the three recruited quickly.
"It turns out that the imperial court allocated a sum of money for the disaster..." The boss had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell everything in detail.
☆、Words become an inch (1)
Drought broke out in Heluo in the Central Plains half a year ago, and the river dried up. The people left their homes for a while, and bandits and bandits arose everywhere.
On the official road, a group of people nervously escorted the disaster relief funds sown by the imperial court.But the delivery route was extremely weird. After being escorted from the imperial capital to the vicinity of Heluo, the carbine suddenly came back and forth, and went in another direction, getting farther and farther away from the original destination.
Thousands of miles away, not only people are mentally exhausted, but even Liangju can't stand it anymore and becomes a little irritable.
The leading officer straddled his horse and held a knife. There was a scar on his face that spread from his eyes to his chin. He looked ferocious, not like a soldier, but like a bandit.
Behind him was a thin monkey-like man, who looked around, then clamped his horse's belly, and moved to the side of Brother Scar.
"Brother." The skinny monkey called out in a low voice.
"Huh?" He responded idly, seemingly impatiently, "What's the matter?"
The thin monkey smiled and asked: "Aren't we going to take the money to Heluo? Why..."
The man didn't answer, it seemed that it was because of some guilty conscience.
The thin monkey continued to guess boldly: "It seems that before leaving, on the day of departure from the imperial capital, the prime minister's cronies seem to have come to look for you specially."
"What have you heard?" Scar's heart was suspended, he couldn't help being a little nervous, and secretly scolded the monkey thief behind his back, and he didn't know how much he knew.
He giggled a few times, showing his big yellow teeth, and gestured a few times with his hands: "I didn't hear much, I only got a few words, 'stealing', 'sweet and sweet'..."
Before he finished speaking, the man with the scar gave him a sideways glance, motioning him to keep silent: "Second brother, sometimes, knowing too much is more dangerous."
"Yes, elder brother is right. However, after the matter is completed, elder brother will share with younger brother."
"Naturally, how can I lose my brother's share." The scarred man smiled calmly.
Misappropriation of disaster funds, full of private pockets.
Being an official can only be like a rice hamster, and it is only a matter of time before the internal corruption of the previous dynasty makes it slowly decay and perish.
The two were chatting passionately in private, thinking about how to divide the remaining silver taels.
At this time, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up, blowing the dry land and blowing up dust. The horses under them seemed to sense that an unknown danger was approaching ahead, and they were restlessly restless and neighing.
Everyone's nerves were almost tense at that moment.
There was a steady sound of horseshoes, and I saw blue hair dancing in the wind, wearing a white sleeved shirt, with exquisite appearance, picturesque eyebrows, and tranquil eyes.
Anyone with a delicate mind will see it, and her bony hands have a strange wooden armor, and the pattern on it is engraved with a Zhicao mark as a coat of arms.The thin monkey was dumbfounded, and he had seen many beauties, but this one was so beautiful that even the whole group of people were dumbfounded.
"Brother, this chick is really good-looking, why don't you take her in now, and let our brothers have a good time." Several people under their hands salivated at the person in front of them, and laughed badly.
"Who is coming?" The man with the scar yelled, although they were taking the official road and passing many common people along the way, he always felt that the coming was not kind.What made him speechless the most was that the group of people under him were still thinking about that kind of thing at this moment, so they were so careless, especially the thin monkey who made this suggestion, would he still want to spend the money? !When the money is distributed later, I won't give him a cent!
The woman stood still in front of him without speaking.
"If you are sensible, Xiao Nizi, quickly get out of the way!" He drew out the knife at his waist and threatened, but the woman's aura was not inferior to him.
"Looking at your attire, you must be officers and soldiers."
The woman raised her eyes, looked them up and down, and spoke in a calm voice without any ups and downs, as if she was just confirming with them.
"Hmph, since the little girl recognizes it, why don't you get out of here quickly?! I've interfered with official duties, so I hope I won't tie you up." The skinny monkey had a smug expression on his face.
"Official business? You said, if you have to swallow up the life-saving money for the people, then what kind of official business is this?" The woman seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed in a low voice with a lazy voice.
"You! What nonsense are you talking about!" Brother Scar's psychological quality is not bad, but at this juncture, he can only get angry and yell to defend himself.
"That's right, you're talking nonsense. I'm doing things for the people of the world. It can be said that I am conscientious. If you speak rudely, you are clearly slandering us!" The thin monkey spoke righteously, and also chimed in.
"Oh? You can say these words without shame. You must have a thicker skin than a city wall, but you don't know that all the officials in the world will be ashamed of you." The woman raised her lips slightly, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and the arrogance of her brows was fully displayed .
"You, you stinky girl...!" Her words hit the heart, sonorous and forceful, making people unable to hide.
She then resumed her calm tone and said: "The drought in Heluo has lasted for more than half a year. If I remember correctly, this is already the second appropriation from the imperial court, but why did the disaster funds finally reach the people? That pitiful little bit? I know that the prefect of the Heluo side is a clean and honest official. Then the problem can only be found in the first step before the people get the disaster funds, that is, during the escort. Tell me, who made it for?"
After a short period of silence, there was a sudden sound like an explosion.
Brother Scar had a look of embarrassment after being exposed, his face turned red and then pale, and several unsuspecting officers and soldiers were whispering to each other and pointing at him.
He was furious, and the hand holding the knife was shaking with anger: "You are looking for death, see if I don't cut you!!"
Things have developed to this point, and there will only be two outcomes: the most likely is that there are so many officers and soldiers, and the woman who robbed the money cannot support herself alone; and the least likely is that if the woman has divine help, she can With a weak quality, he completely defeated everyone.
But Xie Yi didn't expect it to be the most unlikely situation.
When the knife was unbiased and slashed straight at the woman, he didn't expect that just when it was about to hit, a special air flow erupted from her body.
She was able to stand in a stalemate with him without making a move.And Brother Scar's hand holding the knife was numb, with a sense of oppression.
At the same time, the originally cloudless sky above was shrouded in dark clouds, and a white light rose from the thick clouds, like thunder, breaking the deadlock and tearing apart the dark curtain...
"Even if I think about it now, that girl scares me a lot. She doesn't look like a human being at all. It's probably some kind of monster!" Looking silly, he sighed aside.
"Stop talking nonsense." Hearing their descriptions up to this point, A Ruan gradually wanted to favor the girl who had never met her before. Finally, Ah Ruan couldn't help but interjected, "I see, you are bad people! That girl knows what you want Do bad things, so I have to teach you a good lesson. This is what you deserve, but no one else is to blame."
"What are you talking about, little girl? We are teachers of justice!" The elder brother with a beard turned pale, and he was still trying to defend himself.
"Hmph, then you are still planning to save money, what are you if you are not a bad person?!" Compared with these people who are full of justice but are actually hypocritical, Ah Ruan thinks that the woman who robbed the disaster fund must be a good person!
"You!" The bearded man opened his eyes angrily, and dared not speak out, but when he got closer, he saw the Zhicao imprint on A Ruan's chest, and immediately sneered again, "I said, how could you help her say that?" Good word, so you are with her!"
As soon as this remark came out, even Xie Yi was a little taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's so weird, I don't even know who she is." Ah Ruan crossed his arms. Could it be that this person has some brain problems?
He pointed to the Zhicao seal on Ah Ruan's chest, and said: "That woman has a wooden armor on her hand, and the pattern on it is this."
What?Exactly the same pattern? !
Hearing what he said, the thin monkey also thought of it, and praised: "Brother has bright eyes! Isn't this pattern the same pattern?" He looked up and down carefully, "You and her look alike, could it be sisters?"
"A Ruan has no other relatives, only me." Xie Yi stepped forward to protect A Ruan, and put his coat on her body to cover up the Zhicao mark on her chest.
"This……"
Believe it or not?The three looked at each other.
"Hey, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll let Xiaohong deal with you!" Even A Ruan couldn't bear the nonsense of these three people, and threatened, "Hurry up and continue telling me, the story is not finished yet! "
……story? !
The three were speechless.
........................
"If you run away quickly, I will let the past go and let you live."
Qingsi fluttering in the wind, she is still holding the strange wooden armor in her hand, and the white light around her makes people feel that she has a powerful and daunting aura.
"Dream!" That's his money!The man with the scar closed his eyes tightly, resisting desperately.
"It would be great if your persistence was used in the right way. But, it's a pity." The clean and oppressive voice sounded, and the woman seemed to have overcome gravity, suspended in midair, and surpassed everyone.
Everyone panicked: "This... this is impossible!"
"I'll say it again, run or die." She said coldly, the temperature seemed to be able to freeze everything.
☆、Words become an inch (2)
Run or die...?
"Then why are you here? There are no other officers and soldiers here. Are you deserters?"
Xie Yi looked at the three of them, although they were in a state of distress, they were alive and kicking, they didn't look like they had walked through the gate of hell.
"I...we..." The three were dumbfounded.
"It's a guilty conscience if you can't speak, then you must be a deserter." A Ruan covered her mouth and laughed.
"You little girl, why do you speak so badly..." The three of them looked embarrassed.
"Ouch--!"
At this time, a howl of wolves came, which made people jump.
Even the woman A Ruan didn't panic, the three of them were already shivering and huddling together, fearing tigers and wolves.
"Brother...Brother! There are wolves, if I had known, I wouldn't have come here to swim in the muddy water!" The second child was very flustered.
"Well, the second brother has expressed the feelings of the younger brother, let's go back!"
"Since the two virtuous brothers have this intention, let's go back to the imperial capital. It doesn't matter if we have no money or power. As long as the three brothers are safe and sound, it is the greatest happiness! Let's go!" The bearded beard gave an order, and the three of them I want to escape.
"Hey! Don't go!"
Ah Ruan wanted to catch those three people back, but Xie Yi put his hands on her shoulders: "Forget it, let them go."
The information you want to know is almost obtained, and one thing more is worse than one thing less.
Proficient in spells and not inferior to Xie Yi's Bushi Yanshu, the coat of arms on the Yanjia is exactly the same as the Zhicao seal... Is it a coincidence that such a woman of unknown origin, or...
....................................
Baiyu Mountain is the source of Luoshui water source.
In the afterglow of the west mountain at dusk, the whole Baiyu Mountain glowed with golden light.
"Brother Xie Yi, that tree..."
At the end that A Ruan pointed to, beside the dry river, there was a tall tree that was entangled with twins and grew together, but now the water source is exhausted, and it is no longer the grand scene of the past.
"This is..." Xie Yi almost blurted out, "Lian Lizhi..."
"That's right, it's the tree of marriage." The voice was clear and calm, telling them a beautiful story, "It is said that this tree is the result of a pair of lovers who were opposed by their families and chose to die in love. If, if someone with predestined relationship finds a tree that is over a hundred years old and prays sincerely to make a wish, then the wish they made will definitely come true."
Xie Yi looked back, and found that figure was not far away, and there was a dead flower garden, the figure was facing away from him and A Ruan.Her black hair is like ink, some of which are naturally scattered on her shoulders, and she is wearing a phantom robe.The dark green base is mainly white, which is a little different.
Xie Yi felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, could it be an old friend?
Thinking of this, Xie Yi couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, he didn't have many friends in the lower realm; if he was a person from Liuyue City, he would be regarded as a traitor now, so he wouldn't be an old friend, right?
Just as he was about to ask aloud, his hand was pulled under the Lianli tree by a force.
"Wow, so this tree has this purpose." A Ruan looked surprised, and quickly let go of Xie Yi's sleeves, clasped his hands together, "Brother Xie Yi, let's make a wish too!"
Xie Yi shook his head with a smile, and asked in a doting tone: "Ah Ruan's wish, wouldn't it be a roasted pork leg that can never be eaten?"
Ah Ruan was a little annoyed, and rolled his eyes at Xie Yi: "That's not true, I... The wish I want to make is of course..."
Of course it will always be with Brother Xie Yi!
But once these words came to his lips, he couldn't say them no matter what, even Xie Yi didn't dare to tell her lightly, for fear that he would show his helplessness again and tell her: Ah Ruan, you still don't understand anything. .
But she always thought so in her heart, like a secret buried deep in her heart.So, as long as you know it, it's fine.
"This girl doesn't need to make a wish." The voice sounded again, but without warning, A Ruan was poured a bucket of cold water.
"Why, can it be that others allow it, but brother Xie Yi and I can't?" A Ruan was extremely dissatisfied with the voice that suddenly appeared to spoil her mood.
"Because, even if you make a wish, it won't come true."
"You! How can you say it? It's too much!" Ah Ruan only felt that this person was too rude.
"Miss misunderstood," the man laughed. "Everyone who makes a wish is a loving person. Could it be that the girl and the young master next to you are already married or a couple? I don't think so."
A few words put Ah Ruan in a fog.
"Love...fix...resistance...grain?" What does it mean, she has never heard of it before, "Hey, who are you?"
The figure slowly approached, and when she saw the faces of Ah Ruan and Xie Yi clearly, she froze in her footsteps, but her expression seemed to anticipate their appearance.
"Hey, I think I've seen you before!"
Ah Ruan looked at her, wasn't she the same girl from the Langde Tavern before?I didn't see what kind of character she was before, and I didn't expect her to speak so viciously...
Ignoring Ah Ruan, the man bent down slightly, touched another withered and dead Lianli tree not far away, and stroked the vines that had been dried by the sun.
Before, she was still talking at length, talking about some legends, and she was not allowed to make a wish, but now, she completely blocked her: "Hmph! Ignore people!"
Hearing what A Ruan said, the confusion in Xie Yi's heart also became clear, no wonder he also felt familiar, it turned out that he had already had a casual relationship in Langde.
He cupped his hands slightly, and asked: "Your Majesty came to Baiyu Mountain to solve the drought in Heluo. I don't know if the girl is from this place? Can you introduce the magistrate here for the two of us?"
"I also just arrived here a few days ago. There are no officials here, but there is a village where the village head is in charge." The man straightened up, and then turned to look at him and A Ruan.
I have never met her before, but the feeling she brings to people is clean and gentle.Although this girl was unfamiliar, she made him feel so kind.
"I have met the village head here before, and he also told me the general situation here, so I came to this mountain to investigate."
The source of Heluo, that is, Baiyu Mountain, has experienced good weather and weather over the years, but a year ago, the river suddenly dried up, and the reason is unknown.
In the past, the law of drainage was used to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If we want to eradicate it, we still need to find the root cause.
"Then do you know where the place we are stepping on was originally?" She looked at Xie Yi with a smile in her eyes, as if she was looking forward to his answer.
"Could it be that this place is the original birthplace of the entire Luoshui?" The man nodded approvingly, Xie Yi looked around and saw that it had already dried up. No wonder the drought in Heluo affected the entire Luoshui area.
"That's right." She said calmly, "For some reason, the water veins in this place have become disordered. But if you come to investigate, you will be able to find the reason."
"Thank you for telling me so much, Miss." He was modest and polite, and this girl really helped him a lot.
"You don't have to be so polite. It's just a matter of raising your hands for me to help you." She smiled, but people couldn't take their eyes off her.
At this time, Ah Ruan was full of complaints, this girl was so kind to Xie Yi, but she had a different tone and expression towards her, she was really partial!
"Hey, who the hell are you? Why are you telling Brother Xie Yi these things? Could it be that you want to do something bad?" Ah Ruan stared at her closely. Xie Yi once said that if a person treats you well, then it's not I like you, but I want to borrow money from you.The former seems unlikely, after all, I have only met her twice, and brother Xie Yi may not necessarily like her.Then, it's the latter, "You don't want to borrow money from brother Xie Yi, do you?"
"Ah Ruan, it's rude of you to say that." Xie Yi apologized to that person on her behalf, "I'm really sorry, she is ignorant, girl, don't worry about it."
I don't understand, I don't understand... I don't understand...
"Hmph, I'm not sensible anymore." Ah Ruan defended in a low voice, even brother Xie Yi didn't help her.
"Hehe, I don't know what the girl's name is, why are you here?" Xie Yi rubbed Ah Ruan's head, motioning her to keep quiet, looking at the woman, and asked.
She smiled calmly, and Xie Yi's way of questioning was more natural compared to asking her where she came from.
Xie Yi still looked at her with a smile until the muscles at the corners of his mouth became a little sore from his laughter, but she still didn't speak.
☆、Words become an inch (3)
Oh my god, if the little girl doesn't speak anymore, the muscles at the corners of his mouth are going to twitch when he laughs...
"Miss Yan Cheng, so you are here, it will be easier for me to find you." A sudden voice broke the awkward situation, Xie Yi and A Ruan Qi turned their heads, and it was Bai Yushan from the village at the foot of the mountain. village head.
The village head saw that there were two other people, recognized them again, and said with a smile: "Oh, there are Mr. Xie Yi and Miss Ruan, what a coincidence, I thought I'd bring you two here too, I didn't expect all three of you to be here."
Hearing that, after knowing the general situation, the woman also bowed to Xie Yi: "It turns out that it is Mr. Xie Yi, who has admired his name for a long time."
The woman left Ah Ruan aside again.
Damn, this girl...
The veins on the temple beside Ah Ruan's forehead twitched involuntarily...
"Ah...this girl...you, hello." Xie Yi didn't expect the other party to be so polite to him. His current name is generally only a little famous among Yanshi who is familiar with Yanshu. "Since the girl knows my name, does that also belong to Yanshi?"
"I'm not talking about 'Tong Xiao' Yanshu, but Mr. Xie's name... I've heard of it for a long time, and I've thought about it a lot..." The other party thought for a moment, but in an instant, his thoughts were full.
"Thought a lot? I don't know what the girl is thinking?" A little girl who is only about eighteen or nineteen years old has thought about his name for a long time?What does this make him dumb?
She shook her head slightly, with a slightly unclear smile on her face: "It's just that I once imagined what it would be like to meet you, but I didn't expect that I would formally meet you under such circumstances. "
A bit of surprise, a bit of embarrassment; a bit of sadness...
"Formal... meet?" Xie Yi was taken aback, always feeling that her words were a little hazy, making it hard to figure out.
"Here, let me introduce myself," she said with a slight smile on her gentle face, with a natural temperament like jade in the rough, "My surname is Yan Cheng, and my name is like tears."
Yan Chengru tears?
This double surname is quite rare.
Xie Yi only felt that the name was inexplicably familiar.
Yan Cheng...
such as... tears...
Ah Ruan was a little confused, so he propped his chin and slandered: Strange, isn't it just that the name is a little longer?Why did Brother Xie Yi not even blink his eyes when he looked at her?
Xie Yi was struggling to search for information in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten the specific day.But he could infer that it was something that happened in the past few years.
It seems that he heard this name once when exchanging news with Ye Hai.
"My friend, I have been shy recently, can you donate money and help me?" Ye Hai's shameless, shameless voice sounded in the Yanjia bird, "Since the Battle of Dunhuang City, the devilish energy in my body has been destroyed. It has not been completely eliminated, so I have to buy golden elixir medicine to suspend it, and I am so poor..."
Xie Yi shook his head helplessly, Ye Hai's tricks had already been exhausted, relying on his healed old injuries to ask him to borrow money with a thick skin like a city wall, did he really think he was running a bank?
So, he sent a message back and said: "Our hero Ye Yushu is facing the wind, and the peach blossoms are endless, so we must not be short of these little money."
A few days later, I heard Ye Hai's half-joking and half-angry voice: "Huh, thank you Master Yan, you don't help your friends when they are in trouble. Now it is rumored that a piece of Yan armor you made can be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold, but I don't know The younger generation is awesome. Some time ago, I don’t know where it came from
