Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 23 Departure
(8)

It was night, and a light and small sound and shadow slipped out of the inn with a little firelight.It skillfully traverses the streets and alleys until it goes up the mountain along a certain mountain road. The only bright spot in the dark night except for the full moon and starry sky is hidden by countless beech...

Until the dawn of dawn, everything will recover.Bai Feng, who was used to getting up early, got up a little earlier than the rooster crowing this time, and walked to an empty grass outside the inn.

I saw him beside a jujube tree, practicing the "breathing skill" as usual.With ordinary alleys, roosters and dogs barking; with refreshing morning dew, towering mountain peaks.Integrate with the wonderful nature, "spit out the filthy air and absorb the breath of all things".At this time, he is highly integrated with nature, but he is wandering outside the world.Therefore, all the subtle movements around him cannot escape his perception.

Shao Qing, there was the sound of staggering footsteps in the distance.The young man was quite curious, squinted his eyes and found that it was Ajuan who was in the dark.I saw her knees bruised and her face exhausted.As he walked, he almost fell to the ground.The young man saw that the situation was not good, and at the moment when Ajuan looked like he was about to faint, two or three lightly strode over, lifted up her delicate body, and said with concern, "Miss Ajuan, are you alright? "

"Bai..." Ajuan said weakly, "Bai... Young Master, please go and call everyone up, I have something important to tell you..."

"I'll help you to rest first." Bai Feng led Ajuan into the inn, and asked Xiao Er to prepare tea and some meat buns, and then called the door one by one, first Murong Yan, and then Zhao Xiaomei.In the end, Zhao Kuo shouted for a long time in response, and the teenager had to break into the door and forcibly separated Zhao Kuo, who was hungover, from his bed.Even though he still hugged the pillow tightly, he had to drag him downstairs.

Several people sat around the table, all sneered at Zhao Kuo, who was full of ugliness.Ajuan was nibbling on the meat buns, and approached the boy who couldn't sleep.She slowly put the half-bitten meat bun between Zhao Kuo's nose, the aroma of the bun attracted him to slowly leave his head off the pillow in his hand.Ajuan leaned against Zhao Kuo's ear and called softly, as if she had planned it, "Master Zhao! Master Zhao!"

Zhao Kuo narrowed his eyes and murmured, "What's the smell? It's so fragrant..." For a moment, he saw Miao Nuzheng in front of him, looking at him with pampering eyes like spying on a baby, scaring him. With a loud roar, he leaned back naturally and fell to the ground.Yu Guang glanced at Ajuan's frayed knees and asked in amazement, "You... what's wrong with your legs?"

Ajuan handed the meat bun in his hand to Zhao Kuo, and said charmingly: "It's not for you!" Then he helped him back to his seat and listened to what Ajuan had to say with the others: "I last night In order to be able to go out with you, I knelt down in front of my grandma all night! The rules set by the ancestors really tortured people..."

Zhao Kuo ate the meat bun with great taste, and said, "What's the rule? This is unreasonable!"

"The first time a young Miao person goes abroad, he should sincerely pray to his elders. Otherwise, he will die in a foreign land and never return to the Miao village to rest in peace..." Ajuan sat on the side, caressing the wound on her knee, He continued, "Grandma was reluctant at first, she always thought I was still a child."

The younger sister responded and said: "Humph! These elders like to look down on people like this!" After speaking, she made a "grimace" at Zhao Kuo in front of him with his tongue sticking out.

"Then it's not worth it for Miss Ajuan to suffer for so long!" Murong Yan said worriedly.

"Probably my sincerity touched her!" Ajuan hesitated: "And... Young Master Zhao..."

Zhao Kuo was chewing in his mouth, so he could only murmur and ask, "Me? What's this got to do with me?"

"I said to my grandma, 'In the future, instead of letting me face the strange world alone, why don't I go with a trustworthy person?' Maybe she thought that Zhao Gongzi was a trustworthy person, so she finally agreed to help Let's go out." As he spoke, although Ajuan kept looking down at her injury, she squinted at Zhao Kuo from time to time, making the latter feel uneasy.

Zhao Kuo pretended to be very resistant and complained: "It's weird! Then she said how can we leave!"

"Oh! I almost forgot." Ajuan patted her head, then walked out of the inn to look at the position of the sun, and said, "Today, a caravan is going to leave this place at Chen Shi and go to Wandeng Town, which happens to be my grandma. Team leader, so we can sneak in and sneak away! Now... there are still a few minutes before the hour, so let's get ready!"

Not long after the sunrise, this corner of Qianfeng Town became lively.Several people packed their luggage on the horseback bags and headed to the round place designated by the caravan.Zhao Kuo watched this magical town built under the peak forest while driving his horse, and there was a trace of reluctance in his heart.He looked at Ajuan, who was riding a horse with his sister, and couldn't help but say to himself, "If I were born and raised in Sri Lanka, I might live a stable life with such a beautiful girl..."

The five people wandered around in the caravan, waiting for the Miao people who came to lead the way.The businessmen around looked very anxious, as if they were afraid of missing something.Zhao Kuo and Bai Feng went to inquire and found out that the annual "Wan Deng Festival" in Wan Deng Town is about to start, and the merchants are looking forward to making a fortune during the festival.Among the few people who went with him, only Zhao Kuo went to the "Ten Thousand Lantern Festival" with his father when he was young. In order to relieve the depression in waiting, he recalled to the other four: "At that time, the "Ten Thousand Lantern Festival" was not only lit up all night. Tongming, there are as many as [-] styles of lanterns. There are many pedestrians on the road, and it is very lively, which is comparable to some of Yuyi's 'horse racing festival', I don't know how it is now..."

"Brother Zhao, stop talking, bite your tongue carefully!" Bai Feng pointed to the caravan in front of him and said, "The caravan has started to leave, pay attention to safety."

Zhao Kuo complained and said, "Can't we talk when we are on the road? Speaking of which, my childhood life was really beautiful..."

"No! I was either beaten or scolded when I was a child. It's not good at all!" Ajuan retorted.

"Then you won't be beaten now?" Zhao Kuo sneered.

The little girl raised her head to look at Ajuan and said, "Sister Ajuan, if that person dares to bully you, you must tell me, and I will help you get revenge on him..."

Several people laughed and scolded all the way, and the caravan was surprisingly unimpeded all the way.Although it is slow, it provides an opportunity for everyone to appreciate the wonders around.As the roughness gradually diminished, the peak forest gradually subsided, and just as it was about to exit, the convoy suddenly stopped.An old figure walked over from the front of the convoy. She told Ajuan and the others to stay in place for a while and let the caravan move forward.

"Ajuan, you and Zhao Gongzi dismount first and wait for your mother to come over." Ajuan's grandmother said.

"Mother?" Ajuan didn't understand, thinking that her grandmother still wanted to keep herself, and asked, "Grandma, why do you have to wait for my mother?" As soon as the voice fell, the leader of the Miao tribe, who was galloping on horseback behind him, responded.

"Daughter, you are here." The old woman said to Ajuan's mother.

"At my grandma's request, I will not stop Ajuan from leaving here." Ajuan's mother said to the two who dismounted: "We Miao people don't like to interact with outsiders. In order to broaden your horizons, don't make trouble, okay?"

Ajuan asked suspiciously, "Isn't my mother here to stop us?"

"Hehe, if you came to me directly, you wouldn't agree." The Miao Ren leader continued: "Just like you left without saying goodbye, didn't you think that the mother would be sad? If it wasn't for my grandma who sent someone to follow I said, I really can't guess you little girl..."

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time, thinking that the mother would only punish her, Ajuan, but she never thought that on the day of separation, she would be so sentimental.When it comes to the emotional part, the two women burst into tears.Zhao Kuo stood there speechless, knowing that his previous disrespect had been forgiven, but he was about to be entrusted with the important task of protecting the daughter of the Miao leader.

"Young Master Zhao, I know you didn't mean to offend her, and we are not the ones who are difficult for the strong. It's just that my daughter has been appointed to follow you. As a man, you definitely won't make things difficult for her in every possible way, right?" Ajuan's mother asked .

"The Zhao family has always made a lot of heroes and heroes in the world, and it is a lucky thing to be able to meet the daughter of the Miao commander." Zhao Kuo said this just to reiterate that he has no love for Ajuan.

Ajuan retorted: "I'm not following him! I'm following Young Master Bai, Miss Murong, and Miss Zhao!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it.Half a moment later, the five of them followed the rut left by the convoy and headed towards the exit, leaving behind one young man and one old man behind them.
