Chapter 19 The Old Man

Outside the south gate of Mingdu, Xiao Yu and Shen Li held a jar of wine and drank silently. Lin Beiwen, Zhu Xin and two bodyguards in black stood quietly.

For a long time, the two drank the wine in the jar together.

"Bear care!"

"Bear care!"

After holding each other's fists and saluteing each other, Xiao Yu moved and jumped to the horse.

Nodding to Shen Li, Xiao Yu strangled the reins and waved the horse whip, and the ** horse went south with him.

Lin Beiwen arched his hand to Shen Li, took Zhu Xin and the other three, and followed Xiao Yu to the south.

After leaving the Guanxing Hall, Xiao Yu left the seal on the king of Ming. When she returned to Xiao's house, she told Lin Beiwen that she decided to go to Tianfu County immediately.

Nowadays, although Xiao Yu has no soldiers, he is also a general. With courtesy, he can't be without attendants around him. Therefore, while sending someone to inform Shen Li, Lin Beiwen chose two relatively reliable bodyguards among Xiao Yu's bodyguards as Xiao Yu's entourage.

Shen Li accompanied Xiao Yu from Xiao's house to the South Gate, and then accompanied him to drink a jar of wine as a send-off.

Although Shen Li was the only one who saw him off, Xiao Yu was in a very good mood when she left the famous capital.

Riding on the horse and running wildly, Xiao Yu only felt that her depressed mood for more than two months had been completely released.

Just as Xiao Yu walked less than seven miles south with a smile on his face, a familiar voice came to his ear.

"General Xiao, please wait a minute!"

Xiao Yu looked back and saw two familiar figures running on horseback.

"It's them!"

Xiao Yu frowned slightly and dropped her head.

After a while, Zhang Zhaozhong and Li Linxiang, who were just six miles away, came to Xiao Yu and others.

While strangling the horse, Li Linxiang asked Xiao Yu with a slight anger, "General Xiao ever regarded his little sister as a friend?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and replied with a wry smile, "The princess will be a friend. How dare you not surrender the princess as a friend?"

Li Linxiang frowned gently and then asked, "Since General Xiao regards his little sister as a friend, why didn't he send someone to inform her before leaving?"

"I'm considering that the princess is busy, so I didn't send anyone to disturb her."

"Is there anything wrong with sending a friend on an expedition?"

Xiao Yu was stunned again for a moment and arched her hand and said, "It's down, isn't it? I'm here to apologize to the princess."

Li Linxiang stared at Xiao Yu for a while and sighed softly, "Leading the army to fight is completely different from the master. General Xiao is leading the army for the first time, and everything should be done carefully."

"Thank you, princess, for reminding me!"

Li Linxiang looked at Xiao Yu and hesitated for a moment, and took out the piccolo she was carrying from her sleeve.

"My little sister has never come here, and she doesn't even have time to prepare wine. Just play a song "Send You" to say goodbye to General Xiao!"

After saying this, Li Linxiang put the piccolo to her mouth and blew it.

I don't know whether it was his illusion or Li Linxiang's intention. In the pleasant sound of the flute, Xiao Yu heard a faint feeling.

"Send You" is also known as "Looking for You Return", which is a song of a woman sending her lover to the battlefield.

When the sound of the flute fell, Li Linxiang nodded gently to Xiao Yu, who was staring at her, pulled the reins, drove the horse to turn around and ran back to the way.

Staring at Li Linxiang's farther and farther back for a long time, Xiao Yu sighed, strangled the reins, turned around and ran south.

No matter whether Li Linxiang inadvertently chose the song "Send You" or had other feelings, Xiao Yu thought that Li Linxiang came to see him off.

Chuanzhou, the county city of Tianfu County, happened to be in the south of the famous capital. However, after three days of traveling south, Xiao Yu turned to the southwest.

After traveling to the southwest for nearly ten days, Xiao Yu took Lin Beiwen to Yancheng.

Xiao Yu was not born in Mayan Mountain, but since he really began to remember, he has lived in Mayan Mountain, and Mayan Mountain is his hometown.

Since Little Nicole disappeared, Xiao Yu has been away from her hometown for more than eight years.

Although there is no one he cares about in his hometown, Xiao Yu still wants to go back to his hometown to have a look and give a ray of incense to his uncle's grave before going to the battlefield.

When Xiao Yu entered Yancheng, it was already nightfall.

After spending a little more money, Xiao Yu lived in the crossbow house where Xiao Yuanfeng and Xiao Qingyi lived when they saved him.

More than eight years have passed, and the furnishings in the house have changed, and the two common pots of flowers and leaves that Xiao Qingyi told Xiao Yu have also disappeared.

After dinner, Xiao Yu told Zhu Xin to go to the guest room next to rest. He stood alone by the window and stared at the place where Xiao Qingyi saved him.

After Xiao Ni'er disappeared, Xiao Yu went crazy for two or three days in a row, but after waking up, he clearly remembered everything that happened when he was crazy.

At midnight, Xiao Yu woke up from her memory.

Staring at the place where Xiao Qingyi saved him, Xiao Yu muttered to herself, "Sister, where will you be now?"

Yaowang Mountain needs to be opened with the help of Yaowang's order. Therefore, Xiao Qingyi can't be in Yaowang Mountain. Except for Yaowang Mountain, Xiao Yu didn't expect where Xiao Qingyi would be.

If Xiao Yu asked the king of Ming to help him find Xiao Qingyi, the king of Ming would agree, but he did not dare to spread the news that Xiao Qingyi was still alive.

Now, Xiao Yu only hopes that when he is a little famous, Xiao Qingyi, who hears his name, will take the initiative to find him.

With a long sigh, Xiao Yu jumped out of the window and jumped in the direction of Ma Yanshan.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yu came to her uncle's grave.

More than eight years have passed. The ruined temple that was burned down has been full of weeds, and there are no other changes in the small mountain village except for two more houses.

Uncle Xiao Yu's grave has been covered with weeds. Obviously, no one has come to sweep the grave and burn incense for a long time.

After standing quietly in front of the grave for a while, Xiao Yu squatted down, pulled out Ruyi's soul silk, and controlled Ruyi's soul silk to carefully clean up the weeds on the grave.

After knowing that he had the power of gods and ghosts, Xiao Yu has always been very curious about his uncle's identity. Now, he knows that the uncle who saved him from the plague was the ghost scholar of the previous generation of Tianjifu.

No matter what kind of person the ghost scholar is, for Xiao Yu, the ghost scholar is just a person who saved his life and supported him for several years.

Clean up the weeds on the head and beside the grave, and straightened the tombstone that I don't know how to fall to one side. Xiao Yu respectfully knelt down and knocked three times in front of the grave, and then put the already prepared incense burner in front of the grave and lit the incense.

The ghost scholar has been dead for more than ten years, and his soul may have been reincarnated. However, after Xiao Yu knelt in front of the grave and read the Great Tibetan Sutra.

After reading the Great Tibetan Sutra of Past Life, Xiao Yu sprinkled a jar of wine on the grave little by little, and then left Mayan Mountain.

After giving incense to his uncle's grave, Xiao Yu was also worried.

The next morning, as soon as Xiao Yu and Lin Beiwen left, they met two old friends.

Although the two have changed a lot, Xiao Yu recognized them at a glance.

More than eight years have passed. The little boy with a snot has grown into a fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager, but the woman somehow had a gray hair at the age of just over 40.

When Xiao Yu saw the two old people, their stall selling osmanthus cake was surrounded by five young men with fierce faces.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, got off the horse and walked over.

The five young men with fierce faces looked back at Xiao Yu's deliberately aggravated footsteps, looked at each other, and left the stall.

"How to buy this osmanthus cake?"

"Two penny for one yuan, five penny for three yuan."

In those years, the little boy had the naughty and liveliness of the little boy, but now when he grows up, he does not have the vitality that a teenager should have. When he returned to Xiao Yu's words, his face was full of dullness and cowardice.

"All inclusive!"

"Do you want all the young master?"

Seeing Xiao Yu nodding, the woman squeezed the teenager away and carefully wrapped the osmanthus cake on papyrus paper one by one.

After wrapping the osmanthus cake, the woman handed the osmanthus cake to Xiao Yu and whispered, "It's a total of 28 yuan. The young master will give it 45 yuan."

Xiao Yu first motioned Zhu Xin to catch the osmanthus cake, and then said to the woman, "Wrap the rest, and I'll give you fifty cents."

The woman glanced at Xiao Yu and then at the broken osmanthus cakes on the stall. She hesitated, but did not dare to wrap the broken osmanthus cakes.

"If you think five cents are too little, I'll give you ten cents."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the woman hesitated for a moment and wrapped the broken osmanthus cakes.

"If the young master wants it, the little woman will give it to you. No one wants these broken ones."

"Doesn't the broken osmanthus cake cost materials and effort?"

After taking over the osmanthus cake handed over by the woman with a smile, Xiao Yu suddenly asked, "Is your husband all right?" Why didn't he come?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yu with a puzzled face and asked, "Does the young master know the little woman's husband?"

"There was once a fate!"

When the woman heard this, she hesitated for a moment and said, "The little woman's husband caught a cold the year before last, and he has been sick in bed for the past two or three years."

Wind chill is not a serious disease, but if it is not cured, it is easy to leave the root of the disease. Therefore, it is not uncommon for people who are sick in bed because of wind cold.

Xiao Yu nodded and suddenly looked at the five young people who had just left and asked, "Who are those five people?"

The woman looked at the five young people timidly and replied in a low voice, "The five of them are collectively known as the Five Tigers of Yancheng, and they are the famous rogues in Yancheng."

"Five Tigers in Yancheng? What do they have to do with the five wolves in Yancheng?

The woman looked at Xiao Yu with a little curiosity and whispered, "It doesn't matter! After the death of the five wolves in Yancheng, the seven wolves of Yancheng appeared in Yancheng. After the seven wolves in Yancheng were disabled, the most famous scoundrels in Yancheng became the five people who claimed to be the five tigers of Yancheng.

Xiao Yu stared at the interface of the disappearance of the five tigers in Yancheng for a moment and said to the woman, "Can you take us to your house to have a look?"
