spring ice

Feng Huanyuan didn't know how long he had been gone.

At the beginning, he still felt very tired and his feet hurt, as if he would fall down at any time.But in the end, it may have passed a limit, he no longer felt tired, and his steps became lighter and lighter, and his legs were walking by themselves, without the command of will.Reason told him this was not a good situation, but he couldn't stop.

He walked from outside the city to the inside of the city, and from inside the city to outside the city.The river outside the city is almost level with the bank, so slow that it doesn't seem to be flowing, and the broad river is shining brightly under the setting sun.On the sandbar in the middle of the river, there is a particularly gnarled tree.

A man was sitting among the reeds on the bank, fishing.Feng Huanyuan couldn't judge whether this was a bastard who took the bait based on the sight in front of him, so he walked closer.As if to counter his paranoia, the man hooked a fish almost immediately.

The timing and strength of his reeling in are just right, and the way the fish's smooth back bounces on the ground also has a sense of cruel attraction.Feng Huanyuan stopped to watch unknowingly, and didn't realize that he was too close until the man turned his head suddenly.At this time, it was too late to run away, so he could only smile heartily.

"You like fish?" he said.It's hard to strike up a conversation more bluntly than this in the world.

"I'm selling it." Gao Ya put the fish into the bamboo basket and replied unhurriedly.He looked at Feng Huanyuan.The young man in ragged clothes allowed him to look at him calmly, and even grinned cooperatively. The two rows of thick white teeth could not be said to be a little scary against the background of his muddy face.There is a clear welt on the side of the neck.Gao Ya didn't look at it any further, grabbed the fish basket and handed it to him.

"You send this to Third Aunt Wang in West Market, and come back to me with the money."

"Why?" Feng Huanyuan said, in fact, he had already decided to go.

Gao Ya looked at him innocently. "You caused me to lose something I love very much, and running errands is not too much."

Feng Huanyuan turned his head and left.He came back faster than Gao Ya imagined.Gao Ya's fish hadn't finished cooking yet, and she was staring at the pot with a sad face.

"Wait a minute, I really don't like eating fish, let alone cooking fish," he looked up and swallowed the second half of his words.Feng Huanyuan put down the two jars of wine in a graceful manner, and leaned over to look at the bubbling fish soup in the pot.

"That's not how fish is cooked," he said.

"Let's make do with it." Gao Ya answered angrily.He patted the heat from the hem of his clothes, covered the pot, and walked to the yard.Feng Huanyuan picked up a jar of wine and followed him out. There was a persimmon tree in the courtyard, the branches and leaves were all downcast, silent.The smell of the evening wind was completely different from his day's trek, and the moon was a little chilling.

"Your name is Gaoya, right? I've heard from my third aunt." Feng Huanyuan said without words.

Gao Ya said coldly: "My name is Unlucky."

Feng Huanyuan laughed: "Brother Gao, you and I have never met before. I am flattered that you are willing to bet your treasure on me, but you have a bad eye. This is not my fault. Besides, I am the one who lost, and I am the one who lost." Still wallowing in grief and unable to extricate myself, if you really believe in my strength, you should comfort me."

He drank a sip of wine as soon as he said a word, and drank it all in an instant, Gao Ya was completely unmoved, and asked seriously: "Why did you lose to Xu Liang?"

Feng Huanyuan was a little helpless. "Why didn't I lose to Xu Liang? Let alone me, it's not a strange thing for anyone in the world to lose to Xu Liang."

"Your Excellency is modest." Gao Ya said sarcastically.

Feng Huanyuan smiled lazily: "It's not that I'm modest, it's that you think too highly of yourself."

Gao Ya instantly straightened her body as if her tail had been stepped on.Feng Huanyuan's back felt cold for no reason, Gao Ya had already turned back to the room in a hurry, and then suddenly there was a smell of paste.

The two sat down to eat with a desperate mood.The fish is not delicious, and it is not unpalatable. Salt is salt and onion is onion. The various flavors are not harmonious, but very distinct. However, the river fish is vigorous and has many fine spines, which is quite annoying.Although Feng Huanyuan didn't drink a drop of water all day, he didn't feel much satisfaction after eating such a meal.Gao Ya ate very slowly, and very little, obviously ignoring him consciously, but how could Feng Huanyuan be afraid of the obvious indifference of the chiseling marks, "Thank you brother Gao for the kindness of the meal."

"No need." Gao Ya stared at him and said. "Why did you lose to Xu Liang?"

The two looked at each other for a while, Feng Huanyuan gave up, feeling that Gaoya was hopeless. "What's the benefit if I win him?"

Gao Ya said without thinking, "I don't have to lose that painting."

"But I'm done." Feng Huanyuan smiled wryly. "I've only been here for a few days, and I'm not familiar with the place. I was already precarious. I provoked Xu Liang for no reason. How could his disciples and all kinds of gods let me go? Where do you think I hate myself? Is it too long?"

He just pretended to be mean, but at this time he admitted that he kept his hand, although this was originally what Gaoya expected, for some reason, his teeth itch. "Someone is chasing you?"

"No." Feng Huanyuan thought for a while and said. "Not currently. As long as you don't get recognized by your fellow martial artists, you should be fine for the time being."

"It might happen soon." Gao Ya said.

Feng Huanyuan sighed. "I've been very careful, and I didn't expect to meet the doorman of the Golden Whip Sect, and I didn't expect Xu Liang to chase me. That day in the Xinxin Building..."

"I happened to be passing by at that time." Gao Ya said. "Although when I squeezed in, the show was almost over."

"So that's why you recognize me." Feng Huanyuan was stunned. "Do you really not know who I am?"

"You are a Huashan disciple."

Feng Huanyuan closed his eyes and smiled. "Not anymore."

There was almost a sense of relief in his smile, Gao Ya didn't intend to delve into it, and simply asked: "Why?"

"I killed my master and humiliated my sister. Junior sister."

Nodded elegantly. "The Huashan master has not reported his revenge, so he established the head first. It seems that if the dragons have no leader, it will not be convenient to live."

"So I probably won't live until October 23." Feng Huanyuan said, observing Gao Ya's expression.Gao Ya only said: "For the sake of your exhaustion, you don't need to wash the dishes. There is no one in the guest room, you'd better take the quilt out and shake it first. I usually go to bed early and get up late, and it will be three poles in the sun. You Just close the door when you leave tomorrow."

Feng Huanyuan asked bluntly: "Aren't you going to do something? For example, save me? Or kill me?"

Gao Ya said: "I'm not familiar with you enough to have these two thoughts."

Feng Huanyuan still didn't give up: "But no matter whether you go back to the mountain or die, it's not a good thing."

Gao Ya said, "I'm not a good person either."

He also added empathetically: "Although you tricked me once, I still believe that you can get through this difficult time."

Gao Ya did go to bed early, or just lay down early.There is a considerable distance between lying down and falling asleep.

His sleep quality is not always so bad, it may be because he is used to living alone.There was silence in the guest room, maybe Feng Huanyuan was tossing and turning about where he would go tomorrow.But Feng Huanyuan at least seemed to be an open-minded person, so open-minded that he seemed a bit frivolous.

His voice even with a smile echoed in Gao Ya's ears: "I killed my master and humiliated my sister..."

He seemed to have no intention of defending himself.If what he said is true, then the person living next door to Gao Ya is a scumbag like no other.

Am I really bored to this point?

Gao Ya sat up suddenly, got dressed, and took a lamp from the bedside.

The moonlight in the autumn night looks extremely lonely, and the shadows of the trees shaking like running water on the blue bricks are somewhat infiltrating.Gao Ya used his hand to protect the flame seedlings dancing in the wind, and gasped, he really didn't like being awake when everyone else was asleep.

The door to the guest room was ajar.Gao Ya stood for a while, then slowly pushed the door open.

There was no human breath in the room.

Feng Huanyuan suddenly disappeared, as if he had never appeared here before.

Elegantly looking at the empty bed, the hanging blue gauze curtain.His eyes shifted from the paintings on the wall to the simple bronze ornaments on the shelf, trying to see a big living person from there.

He took a step back, switched the lamp from his right hand to his left, and turned sideways unhurriedly, just passing the wind behind him.

Compared with his usual lack of temperament, his movements suddenly showed an indescribable elegance.It's a pity that this elegance is also fleeting, leaving only the shadow of the fire reflected on the wall still trembling slightly.

Gao Ya glanced at the whip in her hand, then carefully rolled it up and put it on the round table beside her with the lamp.The moment the whip left his hand, the person on the other side rushed forward, as if he wanted to snatch it back, but under the elegant and sharp gaze, he did not move rashly in the end.

Gao Ya said: "Please don't use weapons in my house!"

The person who came was a big man dressed in black. Although he was not masked, it was difficult to judge his appearance at first glance. Firstly, the room was dark, and secondly, his expression was very ferocious, and the veins on his forehead burst out of anger.

But he really had nothing to refute Gao Ya, and it took a long time before he asked, "Where's Feng Huanyuan?"

Gao Ya: "...you actually came to ask me?"

The man said: "Hungry came later than you, if you didn't know, how would you know?!"

Gao Ya: "... also."

He took another step back, as if he wasn't used to standing so close to people. "If you came to look for Feng Huanyuan, as you can see, he is gone. I advise you to look elsewhere. After all, it is midnight, and he may not have gone too far."

The intention of chasing the guest was so obvious, the man actually remained motionless, his blushing face gradually calmed down, and his voice became much calmer. "Although I didn't make it in time, this trip is not in vain. If you are a member of this family, the owner of the hungry door invites you for a while."

Gao Ya said: "Your sect master? Xu Liang? What does he want me for?" Seeing that the man's brows were furious again, he calmed down the matter a bit. "I'm not familiar with Feng Huanyuan, and I don't have any ulterior relationship. If the noble family wants to trouble him, I will take it at your convenience, so you don't need to greet me. Please tell me."

The man said: "Do you think Hungry is here to kill Feng Huanyuan?"

Gao Ya was really taken aback: "Isn't it?"

The man proudly said: "No! He is here to save him!"

When the car stopped in front of the door, there was already a faint dawn outside the window.Red is not yet, not even a warm color, only a boundless, blue-gray biting indifference.

Sitting elegantly and melancholy.He barely interacts with people at times like this.The brain is not clear.In other words, he got into the carriage sent by the Golden Whip Sect entirely because he was not clear-headed, and his teeth chattered from nervousness and cold along the way.Fortunately, the man in black didn't sit with him, otherwise he would really faint from embarrassment.

He had given up thinking about how boring he really was, thinking that this time it wouldn't change anyway.After all, he has lived in ambiguity for too long, and it has become a kind of tacit understanding of the unity of nature and man, and he will not change just because he sees a man with three heads and six arms.Besides, Xu Liang didn't have three heads and six arms, and he didn't even have a body length of eight feet. Most of the disciples of the Golden Whip Sect had leopard heads and round eyes, and thick backs, but Xu Liang looked like a thin scholar, and seemed younger than the legend.His study room was warm and bright, and the lights were so bright that it seemed that it was still late at night outside.However, he has undoubtedly not stayed up all night, but has already gotten up, which shows his healthy life schedule.Seeing Gao Ya come in, Xu Liang put down the pen in his hand, and cupped his hands in high spirits. "I'm sorry for the loss, sir."

While Gao Ya was reflecting on how she could be called a husband, she was about to speak when her eyes suddenly froze.There is a painting on the wall behind Xu Liang, which was painted by him a few years ago, unexpectedly they reunited here, no matter whether it was intentional or not, they instantly felt a sense of confidant to the master.Xu Liang followed his gaze and couldn't help but smile. "It was indeed from the hand of Mr.

Gao Ya asked eagerly: "Do you like my paintings?"

Xu Liang's smile was a bit forced: "Honestly speaking, I can't appreciate it." Seeing Gao Ya's expression changed into frustration, he said hastily: "But my friend likes it very much, and he gave me this painting."

Gao Ya didn't dare to look into his friend any more, and forcibly cheered up: "Don't dare, I didn't expect the sect master to know my name."

Xu Liangdao: "Anyone who has been to the Fenghua Club seven years ago will never forget you."

He meant it as a compliment, but he didn't know that being stripped naked in Gao Ya's ears felt as uncomfortable, so he could only smile and say: "It's a long time ago." He never expected that this meeting would have such a trend, and he only hoped that the topic would quickly move away from himself. "I heard that the sect master doesn't want to kill Feng Huanyuan, but wants to help him...?"

"Exactly." Xu Liang said seriously. "I hope you can save him."
