Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 56
(19)

The rain was still dripping between the high eaves of Feizhuo, but the rain had stopped.All kinds of traders and common people opened their doors and walked on the road.Two brown steeds passed between them, and every now and then the vendors passing by would stop, stop for a moment, and then hit the road again with their whips.

The horses were a man and a woman. The man was carrying a long sword with a delicate scabbard, a copper bell on his waist, and nothing else. He was dressed in light clothing.The other woman behind her looked much more jaded. When she was driving the horse with her whip, she was always paying attention to the stagnant water splashing under the horse, for fear that her clothes would be soiled.

"Old man, have you ever seen a woman wearing a yellow-green gauze and brocade shirt, and perhaps there is a tall man wearing a bamboo hat next to her..." The man riding a horse bullied himself to a man on the side of the road In front of the merchant, he said so.

"Yes! Yes! Those two knew at a glance that they were from outside the city! You have to go out of the city when you see the red sky, aren't you asking for trouble!" The old man stroked his curled white beard and pointed to the west of the city. Said: "The person you mentioned went to the west area of ​​the city early in the morning. I reminded me two or three words on the side, but they actually ignored my words, and they were really angry!"

Another guest immediately became angry when he saw the old man talking. He pulled his delicate voice and hurriedly comforted him: "Uncle, don't be so angry!"

"Little girl, you really underestimate people! Uncle, I get up every day before the cock crows, and I practice qigong early in the morning. Now it's not so difficult to kill a 'big worm'!" The old man half-jokingly back.

When the man on the horse heard it, he bowed his hands and said thanks, and the woman beside him followed suit, but his movements were rude and tight, and he looked a little funny.The two immediately looked at each other with a smile, and waved the whip once again to drive away.After a while, the two came to the Yishi archway, and there was a plaque on it with the words "Xihuamen".The two looked to the far side of the door and saw a completely different scene from the inner side.

As the two and the "Xihuamen" gradually moved away, the stone bricks on the ground gradually disappeared, and they were replaced by ordinary sand and stone ground; the towering green tiles and flying pots on both sides were all replaced by hay thatch roofs; The splendid lady was like a bubble, let the heavy rain wash away just now, and what was left was a creature with dull eyes, shrugging her shoulders and low eyebrows, and walking on the road with a hunched body, which is tentatively called a "human".

"Bai Gongzi, this..." Zhao Xiaomei, who was riding on a horse, said in disbelief, "Why is there a door behind you, as if you are in another world!"

Looking at the dilapidated and desolate scenery on both sides, Bai Feng could not help gnashing his teeth when comparing it with his life in the past few days. He seemed to have imagined how the officials here squeezed the poor people.It's just that the situation is special now, so he suppressed his anger and replied, "Don't worry about this for now, we'd better step up our pace and catch up with Yan'er and the others as soon as possible!" After that, Bai Feng whipped the whip violently, hitting the horse's ass, trying to speed up the pace.Unexpectedly, the sand on the ground was eroded by the heavy rain and became slippery and difficult to travel.No matter how much you push the horse to speed up, it won't be faster than half a minute.Thinking of Murong Yan's situation, Bai Feng, who has always been stern, couldn't help but feel more impetuous and wanted to curse.

Seeing him so annoyed, Zhao Xiaomei advised on the side: "Master Bai, don't force yourself..."

"Why do you keep following me!" Bai Feng's words were full of resentment and disdain, and said, "A young lady like Miss Zhao should stay in her boudoir!"

"Who cares about following you!" The little girl in the back shyly replied loudly, "If it weren't for my brother, he would say, 'A person like Bai Gongzi who is usually moody and invisible, when he meets a When you really tie down your people, you will behave abnormally.' That's why I came to watch you, lest you make mistakes as a 'wood'!"

"Haha..." Bai Feng sneered: "Then Brother Zhao... why doesn't he come with me?" Bai Feng felt apologetic and drove his horse to slow down to the side of the little sister.

"How do I know!" The little girl was half ashamed and half angry, and said, "Dare to lose my temper with this girl! This girl is not like Sister Murong, who will 'forgive' you casually, hum!" The younger sister swung the whip and clamped her hips, shouting "Drive, drive," and the horse accelerated forward.The sewage from the road splashed her pantyhose, but it didn't catch her attention.Bai Feng felt helpless, so he rode his horse and ran after him.

Shaoqing, the two walked out of the West City Gate, leaving the depressing atmosphere in Jiangzhou's outer city behind, breathing in the fresh air in the countryside after the rain.On the branches that were battered by the rain, birds were grooming each other's hair; the low shrubs on the roadside were fortunate enough to "escape", and a little rain was hanging on the tips of their leaves; The hidden strange stones were piled up indiscriminately, and after being washed by the rain, their natural and clear chapped lines were revealed.

It's a pity that these two have no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery, and can only be the "foil" for galloping in it, adding two touches of humanistic flavor to this rather ink-and-wash landscape painting.When I was young, there were two figures, one tall and one short, in front. Zhao Xiaomei, who was walking in front, felt strange and wanted to look closer, but after seeing the figure carrying a weapon, the horse stood still.

"Miss Zhao, why don't you leave, or forgive me?" Bai Fengce stepped forward and said.

"Young Master Bai, look..." The little girl trembled and pointed forward, her big eyes staring cutely, as if she could see everything reflected in her clear brown eyes.Bai Feng followed her line of sight and looked there together.I saw an eight-foot-long, majestic man walking slowly, with a petite figure wearing a bamboo hat on his head and a yellow-green shirt guarding him in front of him.

"Why, they are going back?" Bai Feng dismounted suspiciously, stroked the hilt of "Long Ming" with his right hand, and walked towards the pair of figures.The little girl whispered "Be careful", Bai Feng nodded in response, and continued to walk forward.

The marks left when stepping through the mud under her feet are getting farther and farther, and the little girl who is still on the horse is in a high place, for fear that the strange swordsman will make some killer moves, her big eyes are slightly closed, and she dare not look straight ahead. .Suddenly, she saw the yellow-green figure running towards Bai Feng, and even the bamboo hat on her head flew a few steps away from where she was going.

"Brother Feng!" Murong Yan fell into Bai Feng's arms.And the young man didn't say a word, just looked at the bamboo hat swordsman in the distance, put the bamboo hat that had just dropped to the ground, and put it on his head calmly, vaguely, and could see a smile from his sad face.

Murong Yan wiped her tears of joy and said again: "Brother Feng, go and persuade Wen Tao not to let him go back to Fu's house! Yan'er is begging you!"

"He?" Bai Feng was puzzled, saw the calm smile under the bamboo hat again, nodded slightly, and walked over.At this time, the little sister also ran from the horse to Murong Yan's side, face to face with her, and eagerly exchanged concern.

Bai Feng's right hand still did not leave the hilt of the sword, but Fu Wentao seemed not to be afraid of him at all, just stood there upright, waiting for Bai Feng to walk over.

"Young Master Fu, you..." Bai Feng said here, so that Fu Wentao put his hand on his shoulder, and the right to speak was also taken away.

"Bai Feng, Bai Gongzi. Please take good care of the young lady!" Run Wentao said, and then smiled slightly: "The duel between you and me is not over yet, let's have a showdown when we meet next time!" After finishing, Rune Wentao cupped his hands and bowed his head, half-nodding his head, looking at the young man in front of him with his eyes like torches.

"Uh..." Bai Feng bowed in return and said, "Next, I understand..." After that, Fu Wentao took advantage of Murong Yan's lack of attention, and went west.
