Chapter 296 Fengming Mountain
The little girl Huoyu was very happy. Because of Xiao Luoyan's help, her parents failed the idea of marrying her to the Meng family in exchange for a bride price. When the Meng family came to the door in the middle of the night last night, she was really scared for a long time. Later, when she heard about the cause of the incident, she didn't sleep all night. She got up early and ran to the broken temple.
At this time, when she saw Xiao Luoyan, she jumped high with excitement, and the girl's nature was undoubtedly revealed.
It took a long time for two women to calm down.
After excitement, Xiao Luoyan muttered again. The original plan was only the first step for the Meng family to withdraw from marriage. The next step still needed to continue to work hard and go to Huoyu's home to save the little girl.
It's just that after what happened yesterday, Xiao Luoyan hesitated a little and didn't know whether she should speak. After measuring for a long time, she still felt that she should say it. Even if Brother Qu didn't agree, she could figure it out by herself, but the premise was that he knew that he could not act without permission like yesterday.
From this point of view, Qu Shan's handling of this matter is still very effective. Miss Xiao Luoyan has also learned to think about problems.
When she awkwardly said about this matter, Qu Dan immediately smiled and said, "Do you still need my help with this matter? You can go by yourself!"
"I|?" Xiao Luoyan's eyes widened and asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's you! What did you do last night? Women dress up as men! Can you dress up again? Anyway, I really want to marry the little sister Huo Yu..."
Xiao Luoyan suddenly realized, pulled the fire feather happily and ran away.
She first went back to her place and changed her clothes, and turned into a beautiful young man. Then, under the guidance of the uneasy sister Huo Yu, she stepped into the little girl's house.
There are only three rooms, one living room and two bedrooms, which add up to a palm-size place. The kitchen for cooking is used both the living room. In one corner of the living room, there are kitchen utensils such as pots and pans, and the other corner is a narrow hard bed, which is the place to sleep at night.
Huo Yu's family of four, her parents have a room, and her younger brother has a room. As a girl, she doesn't have her own room. She can only use this as a living room, a kitchen, and a corner of the bedroom. The furniture in the room is extremely old, and many of them have even been repaired, repaired and repaired. It can be seen that this family is really It's extremely difficult.
Xiao Luoyan's nose was sore, and tears almost fell down.
This kind of environment is really far from her young lady's life. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't have imagined it at all. It turned out that there were such poor people in the world. They can't live well, eat, wear warm clothes, and even can't guarantee their basic life.
"Sister Xiao, come in." Huo Yu smiled calmly. She was not embarrassed by the situation of her family. Her misfortune was only that her mother beat and scolded her and her father ignored them.
Xiao Luoyan nodded and walked a little heavy, but she still corrected, "Don't call me sister, call me brother Xiao, or I will wear help when I see your parents."
Huo Yu nodded and shouted shyly, "Xiao, Brother Xiao..."
Xiao Luoyan seemed to hear the most beautiful flattery in the world. She smiled so much that she couldn't help pinching Huo Yu's little face: "Good boy, Sister Huo Yu is so obedient..."
At this moment, Huo Yu's mother in the bedroom heard the voice at the door and came out from the inside. She happened to see the intimate look of the two, and her face suddenly changed: "Where did you come from? You are a wild man who seduced my daughter. Last night, the Meng family came to withdraw in the middle of the marriage. It was you who killed. A good thing that a thousand knives have done! Ah, how dare you come to my house and see if I don't kill you!"
The old lady of Huoyu was really tough. While talking, she picked up a broom and hit Xiao Luoyan with her head covering face.
Xiao Luoyan was a little dumbfounded. She thought that she had surrendered the Meng family last night. Huo Yu's side should not be a problem at all. As long as it was mentioned, it should be solved. Therefore, she didn't even think about the situation in front of her. For a while, she had a strong strength and forgot to avoid it.
Fortunately, the fire feather saw the machine quickly, and the fiery red figure flashed, blocking the trend of brooms falling.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Huo Yu asked angrily.
What are you doing? I killed this wild man. What's wrong with you marrying the Meng family? What's wrong with eating and wearing, don't have to work, and live the life of a rich person every day!? If you want to be with this wild man, you are really blind, I, I will kill you!" Huo Yu's mother was already unconscious, and the broom fell on Huo Yu's head.
Papa--!
The broom was covered with dust and fell on Huo Yu's little head. The dust was everywhere, and the red hair was immediately covered with a layer of dust. Huo Yu raised the broom and patted it again.
Xiao Luoyan, who was stunned, finally reacted and grabbed the broom.
She is extremely disgusted with this mother. This is her own daughter. What kind of hatred do you have? Do you want to treat her in this way?
With a slight force, he grabbed the broom from the other party's hand and threw it out of the door. With a "bang", the broom handle sank into the wall of the alley outside the door, one foot deep, and the tail was shaking.
"You..." Huo Yu's mother originally wanted to curse, but when she saw this hand, she suddenly became dumb. She is a vulgar and ignorant woman. When she sees a powerful person, her heart is empty.
"What are you! You old witch, why are you so cruel? This is your daughter, not your animal! How can you bear to treat her like this!? Old witch, today I will tell you directly that I want your daughter, and I will take her away now. From now on, she is not from your family and has nothing to do with you! If you are not convinced, you can find someone to deal with me, but I tell you very clearly that I just went to Meng's house yesterday and made them agree to withdraw from the marriage. You should already know this! If there is a way to deal with me, I will do it. Of course, I won't show mercy to you, the old witch!" The more Xiao Luoyan said, the more angry he became. In the end, he almost pointed to the other party's nose and scolded.
Her words were fierce, and with the content of her words, she fowned Huo Yu, who had no knowledge, and didn't dare to answer for a long time.
For a long time, when Xiao Luoyan thought that the matter had been done, Huo Yu suddenly cried and fell to the ground, scratched her hair randomly with both hands, pedaled like a toad on her two legs, and cried loudly: "Killing, robbing people!" Come on, is there any king's law, my mother, what kind of world is this..."
The old witch shouted miserably, and her voice came out from afar, and Xiao Luoyan sweated coldly. The old woman actually splashed!
However, she is not a vegetarian. As soon as the water spells were displayed, a thin water curtain enveloped the house, isolating the sound inside and outside. No matter how loud the old witch cried, she could not hear it outside. This hand was also taught to her by Qu Shan, which was just right at this time.
Huo Yu's voice was hoarse, and no one came to help. She opened her eyes in a daze. The wild man just sat on the stool, holding his hands in front of his chest, and looked like he was optimistic about the play. His daughter Huo Yu stood aside, as if she was anxious, embarrassed, and resentful...
"Shout, keep shouting! I haven't heard enough..." Xiao Luoyan raised his eyebrows and said proudly. You have a good plan. I have a wall ladder. Who is afraid of whom?
However, it is obvious that Huo Yu's mother is not a fool. She is just a little short-sighted. Knowing that this move doesn't work, she immediately changed another move: "Huo Yu, get out of here, I'm still your mother, aren't you? Well, I have raised you for more than ten years. You pat your buttocks and want to leave without leaving anything. Are you worthy of your mother and me..."
Unexpectedly, I want to play the family card. Where is the usual family affection for my daughter? At the critical moment, this trick doesn't work! Xiao Luoyan sneered and looked at Huo Yu. She found that the little girl's face was stunned, as if there were some signs of being moved.
Xiao Luoyan shouted that it was not good. At the critical moment, he could not make problems with the key people, otherwise he would have lost all his previous efforts.
"Huo Yu, look at our family, a family of four, crowded in this small place. You suffered when you were a child. Do you think it's not painful to be a mother? But what can I do? Your father doesn't have the ability to make money, so he can only do this... Our family has been living like this for more than ten years. You know what it's like... What's wrong with being a mother who wants to change this kind of life? Marry you to a big family, not to mention being a concubine, or a maid, is better than at home... And your brother, he is still young. Can you bear to see that his future life will be like this, a poor life..." Huo Yu's mother continued to be sensational, seeing that the little girl's eyes are getting softer and softer, Xiao Luoyan really wants to go up. Beat this old witch, but she can't. Anyway, she is Huo Yu's mother, and she can't be beaten!
After turning seven or eight times in a hurry, Xiao Luoyan bit her silver teeth and shouted, "Stop! Old witch, don't you just want money? OK, I'm the young master! Just buy your daughter!"
With that, she gritted her teeth and took out a few pieces of jewelry. These were brought from home when she ran away from home. They were all treasures that she loved very much and was reluctant to lose. Naturally, they were also valuable, but for the sake of Huo Yu's sister, gritted her teeth, here!
Huo Yulao immediately stopped talking and stared at the jewelry on Xiao Luoyan's hand.
The saint is the most civilized and civilized family in the wild continent. Whether it is handicrafts, commerce, agriculture, social civilization, institutions, etc., it is much more advanced than the other three ethnic groups. The culture of the holy people has deeply influenced the snow and the Li people. Countless Li people are proud to pursue the things of the oriental holy people. Xiao Luo At this time, what Yan took out was the jewelry used by the rich and noble families of the holy clan. It was exquisite. Although Huoyu Lao Niang had never seen the jewelry of the holy clan, she only looked at the appearance and knew that it was expensive. At that time, her eyes were immediately green, like a hungry wolf seeing meat!
"As long as you promise to marry your daughter to me, these are all yours! Look clearly, this is the most exquisite jewelry of the Holy Family. Any one can be sold at a sky-high price in the City of Fire. Together, these are probably dozens of times more than the betrothal gifts of the Meng family! Well, in this transaction, you only make no loss... Ha ha ha..." Xiao Luoyan is like a strange man abducting his little sister at this moment, laughing like a treacherous smile.
However, in this regard, she looked up at Huoyu's mother. This old witch almost got into the eyes of money and wanted to marry her daughter to the Meng family. She was also aware of herself. She knew that the position of a concubine could not afford the power of the other party, so she only wanted the betrothal gift of marriage! After all, it's all about money!
As long as anyone pays more money, he can take his daughter away! This theory has long been deeply rooted in Huo Yu's heart. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Luoyan finished speaking, the old witch nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice. She couldn't wait to go up and grab these things immediately, and then kicked her daughter out of the house!
............
When she came out of Huo Yu's house, the girl reluctantly looked at the home where she had lived for more than ten years. In the hall, I was holding the jewelry given by Xiao Luoyan and laughing happily.
"Is this your own value? With just a few accessories, she did not hesitate to sell her... In the mother's eyes, have you ever had a little affection for her daughter?" Huo Yu's heart was full of sadness and loneliness, and he did not escape the joy of the sky.
Xiao Luoyan also felt the little girl's mood, pulling her all the way and accompanying her in silence.
Back to his residence, Qu Danzheng tasted tea happily, as if he was not worried about them at all, but had already arranged a room for Huo Yu to live in.
This matter was finally solved. The next day, Qu Dan and Xiao Luoyan continued to look for the guardians of the Fire Tribe. If they did not complete this entrustment, they would not leave the City of Fire. After all, Lu Yan had a favor to the two. If such a small thing can't be done well, how can they be embarrassed to meet in the future?
Soon, another month passed. The two of Qu Shan went out early and returned late, searched all the temples and ancestral temples, and visited several of the most famous and powerful families in the City of Fire. The answer was still that the guardian was the rosefinch, but no one had seen it. Maybe it was just a legend!
The little girl Huoyu is not idle these days. When she is free, she will still go back to the broken temple to see a doctor for those patients who can't afford medical expenses. Most of the time, she runs around with Xiao Luoyan, watching Qu Dan and Xiao Luoyan look for it again and again, and be disappointed again and again.
Many times she wanted to say but stopped. When she wanted to say something, she came to her mouth, but she carefully swallowed it back. In her heart, there was doubt, speculation, and wavering hesitation.
This day was another busy day. The three of them returned to their residences a little tired, and Qu Dan sighed rarely.
If you turn around like this, I don't know when I will find the guardian.
Qu Dan also tried his best to release his momentum and wanted to provoke the guardians in the dark, but in addition to scaring many masters of the City of Fire, the legendary guardian did not appear.
By now, they are already exhausted and have nothing they can do.
"Maybe we should go to Fengming Mountain to have a look..." Huo Yu summoned up his courage and finally said what he had been holding for a long time.
"Where is Fengming Mountain?" Xiao Luoyan was very tired, tired, and her heart was even more tired. She thought she was just talking about Huo Yu's little sister's proposal, so she didn't care much.
"Just a few miles south of the City of Fire, it's not very famous. Most people don't know... But I think I should go and have a look..." Huo Yu said solemnly, and her eyes were particularly serious.
Xiao Luoyan took it seriously. She sat upright and asked, "Is there anything special about Fengming Mountain?" Why did Sister Huoyu say that?
"There is nothing special, but..." Huo Yu hesitated for a moment and didn't know whether to say it or not. Seeing Xiao Luoyan's expectant eyes, he continued to say, "I have been dreaming since I was a child. In my dream, I mentioned Fengming Mountain, saying that there was a phoenix on Fengming Mountain, and a voice always said to me, called I'll go there... I know it's just a dream. Maybe it has nothing to do with the guardian. I've been hesitating whether to tell you, Sister Xiao, you won't blame me..."
Xiao Luoyan and Qu Shan looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
I have had the same dream for more than ten years. If such a supernatural event is really just a dream, it is too much to say.
There is a phoenix on Fengming Mountain. Isn't it the embodiment of fire?
Legend has it that the phoenix is reborn in the fire. Like the rosefinch, the phoenix is also a fire bird! Could it be that the real guardian of the fire tribe is not the rosefinch bird, but a phoenix?
Thinking of this, Qu Dan and Xiao Luoyan stood up excitedly. Xiao Luoyan hugged Huo Yu and pinched her hands on her face: "Sister Huo Yu, how can we blame you? I also want to thank you for providing us with such a good message..."
With that, she turned around and walked out of the gate, waved her hand and said, "Let's go to Fengming Mountain!"
Huo Yu whispered in the back, "But it's already dark. Let's go tomorrow."
"I can't wait for a moment. Sister Huo Yu, come quickly. I will take you to heaven and go to Fengming Mountain!" Xiao Luoyan's people had arrived outside the door, and only a voice came in.
Qu Dan also got up and went out. At the door, he turned around and said, "Let's go, it's not in the way."
After a while, two lights rose to the sky and went straight to Fengming Mountain thousands of miles away.
Qu Dan and Xiao Luoyan respectively controlled the light, and the speed reached the extreme.
After several years of exercise, Xiao Luoyan has been extremely familiar with the basic things of these practitioners. Now that she flies into the sky, she will no longer shout, but it is the first time for Huo Yu to fly in the sky. She is not afraid or screaming. She just stares her eyes curiously and looks left and right.
At the speed of two people, thousands of miles passed quickly. It's just that none of the three of them have been to Fengming Mountain and don't know the specific location at all. The little girl of Huoyu just knew that there was such a place in her dream, but she didn't see the specific one. Therefore, the three of them got lost in the dark night...
As a last resort, I stopped in the mountains and took a rest for one night. The next day, at dawn, I flew up to the sky again to look for it.
"That's it, Sister Xiao, I saw it, that's Fengming Mountain!" Finally, when the three of them almost walked around thousands of miles, the little girl Huoyu finally shouted loudly.
A mountain that is not very high or prominent is in sight. The overall shape of the mountain is just like a phoenix that is about to take off!
