Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

Seeing that Yan Ci woke up, the little girl knew that there was nothing serious, so she put the bowl of soup and medicine in her hand on the table, and said, "Isn't the official sick? When you were sent back that day, But the little one was terrified. I called you so many times, but I didn’t know who to answer.”

That Xiao Er's expression was exaggerated, Yan Ci just wanted to laugh, stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, only felt a dull pain, last night it rained heavily, at first he hid in the rice vat, he didn't feel anything wrong, but the heavy rain didn't Stop, the soles of the shoes are soaked, making people feel uncomfortable, and then I just feel that the rainwater seems to be unable to hold back, and the wetness falls on the face.

Before Yan Ci could remember what happened last night, he saw the little girl picked up the bowl of soup and medicine, fed it to Yan Ci's mouth, and said, "Master, you should drink this soup soon, if it gets cold, it will be even more bitter." .”

Yan Ci picked up the soup and drank it down. He grinned bitterly, Yan Ci suddenly remembered, and said, "Who sent me back?"

The little boy looked surprised and said, "Hey. Don't you remember Yan Guanye? You are still our inn's benefactor. How many times has the horse thief come here? Every time he comes, he burns, kills and loots. This time Fortunately, it is said that I was entrusted by someone to take care of the adults. If the people outside had not made a mistake and started fighting first, the fight would not have happened before."

"I was entrusted by someone to take care of me?" Yan Ci was taken aback for a moment, this place was a hundred and eighty miles away, and he lived alone all his life. If there was anyone else who would ask someone to take care of him, it was probably only that one person.

Yan Ci lowered his head slightly, and couldn't help but feel grateful for Du Zijin's care in his heart, but because he was in front of Xiao Er, he couldn't say much.

Seeing Yan Ci's expression and seeing Yan Ci's comprehension, the little girl said, "Master Yan, if you think you are in good health, why don't you go see that Master Dao? The Master Dao said that in the future He will never come to grab our things again, we haven't thanked him properly yet."

Yan Ci nodded lightly when he heard the words, and said, "That's fine, but where is that strong man?"

Xiao Er pointed out, and said, "When I came here just now, I saw him practicing martial arts in the backyard. Go and look for it." After Xiao Er finished speaking, he took the empty medicine bowl and left. Yan Ci got up by himself and walked towards the backyard.

The morning after the heavy rain is always very refreshing. When Yan Ci walked to the backyard, he saw a man punching and kicking, and a dead tree branch was being drawn in his hand with a sense of flowing water.

Just as Yan Ci was about to take another step forward, the man stopped his momentum, walked towards Yan Ci, clasped his fists and smiled, "Lord Yan, I'm Xia Yuqiao. People in the world are known as great swordsmen, and after a few days of reading, they are now from Baiyunzhai, Yunlinpo Master."

Yan Ci looked at the man in front of him, only to see that the man was wearing a white dress with tight ropes on his cuffs. Compared with Du Zijin's, his eyebrows and eyes were much more courageous. Perhaps it was because of his martial arts practice that his physique seemed quite strong.Yan Ci hurriedly clasped his fists together and said, "Yan Ci thank you brother Yu Qiao for saving me."

Na Yuqiao laughed, and said, "Master Yan is complaining about the little one. The reason why you hid in the rice vat was not because we came over and had a dispute with those people outside. We misunderstood that we came to grab things again." Here we come. Please, Mr. Yan, don't blame him."

Yan Ci looked at the person in front of him, he really didn't look like a horse thief or bandit.Can't help sighing, "Brother Yuqiao, on weekdays, do you often... come here to rob and hurt people?"

"Hahaha." Yu Qiao laughed a few times, threw the dead tree branch in his hand aside, and said, "There are robberies, but we never hurt anyone. It's just that they themselves sometimes pounce on them, As bandits, we want to save face, so we punched them a few times."

Yan Ci paused for a moment. For some reason, he always felt that the person in front of him was definitely not as cruel as they said. After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "Then I'll listen to what Xiao Er said. Said...you also intercepted him The young girl and young man said to go back..."

"Hahaha", Na Yuqiao laughed again, and said, "I took two boys back, but grandpa, I don't like men, but those two boys are good-looking and knowledgeable, I let them go I went to teach my brothers to read."

Yan Ci thought for a while, and seeing that the person in front of him was not angry, he continued, "Then...the strong man also captured a few women..." After Yan Ci finished speaking, he hurriedly shut his mouth.A look on your face that you don't want to be angry.

That Yu Qiao smiled again, and said, "Lord Yan misunderstood. I took two girls over because the brothers in the village really didn't wash their clothes, and the cooking was unpalatable. Take the two girls over there."

Yan Ci felt that this reason was too absurd, so he said, "But the strong man has ever thought about how important the reputation of a daughter's family is, if you capture her, how will they marry in the future... in the future."

That Yu Qiao nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Master Yan is right, but if the two girls I captured don't follow us, I'm afraid it will be even worse."

"Oh?" Yan Ci was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

That Yu Qiao stood with her hands behind her back, sighed softly, and said, "Your Excellency doesn't know something. Nowadays the world is poor, and the people are miserable. Has Your Excellency ever heard of changing relatives?"

Yan Ci has heard people say that if there are men and women who are going to get married in the two families, let the girls marry each other, which will save a lot of trouble. Yan Ci nodded slightly and said, "Slightly I heard about it."

Na Yuqiao snorted coldly, and said, "But some parents are devoid of conscience. In order to change their son's marriage and marry a wife, they even return their daughter to someone else's daughter's father. Isn't it ruined to be a good girl?" lifetime."

When Yan Ci heard it, he felt terrified in his heart, and couldn't help saying in surprise, "There are still such things in the world."

Na Yuqiao shook her head lightly and sighed, "It's more than that, there are some girls who sell less than fifteen taels of silver to blind rich young masters to make nine households, scaring the girls to commit suicide.

I couldn't see it, so I brought him into the stockade.If they are not willing, no brother will dare to touch them. If they are willing, no matter who they follow.Anyway, the brothers are still young and strong, and they have something to eat, so they won't wrong a woman. "

When Yan Ci heard the words, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, "So that's the case, but everyone has misunderstood you heroes."

Na Yuqiao smiled and said, "That's okay. In today's world, right and wrong are black and white, how can you tell the difference clearly?"

Yan Ci smiled and said, "Since brother Yu Qiao was also a scholar, why is he doing such a job now?"

That Yu Qiao smiled and said, "Master Yan is also a scholar. How do you feel now? So what if you speak out with righteousness and loyalty."

Yan Ci couldn't help lowering his eyebrows slightly, and said, "The treacherous officials are in power, and the emperor is fatuous. This is really a problem for the people of the world."

Na Yuqiao said, "At the beginning, I was so loyal. It's a pity. Good luck tricks people. Fortunately, I am lucky to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He is virtuous for the people, loves talents and cherishes talents. In the future, he will definitely be a rare and wise king through the ages. "

When Yan Ci heard Yu Qiao mention Du Zijin, he couldn't help but blushed. Yu Qiao was also a smart person. Ever since Du Zijin told him to protect Yan Ci, he knew that this person was by no means ordinary with Du Zijin. Identity, at this moment, seeing Yan Ci's shy and timid eyebrows, he couldn't help but understand, and said, "Master Yan, it's cold outside, you'd better go back to the house and rest. After dinner, the Lord feels that there is nothing wrong, let's set off , Yu Qiao was entrusted by others, so she will naturally protect the adults to reach Languan safely."

Yan Ci saw that the other party issued the order to chase away guests, so he couldn't say much for a while, he just clasped his fists slightly and said, "In that case, brother Yuqiao, thank you for your hard work."

Na Yuqiao was not too polite, she just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Yan Ci went back and lay down for a while, and was called up by the younger brother to drink some porridge. After Yan Ci packed up and went out of the room, he saw that Yu Qiao was already standing in the courtyard holding a big knife .

The two of them gave a slight signal, and they walked out the door together. The horses were full of grass, the coachman re-had the carriage, Yan Ci got into the carriage, and Yu Qiao rode the horse by herself.They rushed forward together.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Yan Ci has already traveled for half a month. Since she has Yu Qiao, she doesn't need Yan Ci to eat pancakes at every meal. Yu Qiao seems to be a person who understands life very well.

Sometimes I go up a tree and get a bird's egg, and sometimes I go down a river and catch a fish.Squeeze some salty Baqing leaves on top and roast it for a special taste.

After half a month, not only Yan Ci, but even the coachman had gained a lot of weight.

It was getting late that day, Yu Qiao caught a wild rabbit from somewhere, peeled and washed it by the river, and was grilling it by the fire.

Yan Ci put on a coat and talked with Yu Qiao beside the fire, while the coachman led the horse to drink water by the river.

Na Yuqiao twirled the wooden stick wearing the rabbit in her hand, and said, "Your Highness told me that Mr. Yan is weak, but after half a month, Mr. Yan is still in good health."

Yan Ci slammed the branches on the ground, and said with a smile, "In the past, I mostly read and wrote, and my body was indeed weak. Now, the road is bumpy, and I have to work hard, and my body has grown a little bit stronger."

Na Yuqiao turned the rabbit in her hand and said, "That's good too. It's not far ahead. After about two days, we will reach Languan. It's another world, full of miasma, if you are stronger, you will save a lot of trouble."

Yan Ci nodded lightly, and said, "I have to trouble Brother Yuqiao to prepare the jerky for crossing the snow mountain, otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass."

Na Yuqiao smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry, the snow-capped mountains are uniquely endowed with heavy snow in four seasons, but in other places, it's midsummer now, and there are more birds and animals. Don't worry, my lord, Yuqiao will take care of it."

During these days with Yu Qiao, Yu Qiao has always shown a trustworthy ability, Yan Ci is quite reassuring to him, and said, "In this way, Yan Ci will have nothing to worry about."

That Yu Qiao smiled and said nothing, just tore off a piece of roasted rabbit meat, wrapped it in leaves, and handed it to Yan Ci. Yan Ci was already used to Yu Qiao preparing every meal for him, so he was not polite. , then took it and ate it.

Well, it still tastes good.
