Volume 1: A Youth's Journey, Long Journeys, Far Away, and Quartet Chapter 35: Knowing Jiangnan leaves to listen to

After a silent night, the boy in a short shirt felt that he had assumed the duty of keeping vigil, and the woman in blue also acquiesced to this arrangement and began to rest on her own. The night gradually replaced the day, and a bright light appeared in the sky, a round of moonlight.

The night was getting darker, and the moonlight was shining on the leaves in the forest and on the flowing water of the stream. Lin Manliu added more firewood to the bonfire beside him to prevent the bonfire from extinguishing in the middle of the night. He put Spring Window Butterfly and Mountain Wilderness on his lap.

Look at the two daggers through the moonlight.

Spring Butterfly is Master's own sword and it is given to me now to keep me safe and sound. The trip to the mountains was given to me by Senior Sister Qiao, and she also hopes that my trip to the mountains and wilderness will be safe. Although I have traveled thousands of miles, there are still people who care about me.

This was enough. The boy in a short shirt held the two daggers in his arms, and with a sigh of relief looked at the gurgling water in the stream in front of him, with the bright moonlight shining in the stream.

Just like that, the young man held his sword and looked at the stream at night, and spent the night quietly...

March 21st, early morning

As the charred firewood broke and rose, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky, which was the colorful clouds hanging high in the sky in the early morning. Yue Hanzhi woke up and saw that the horse was still there, but the young man in short shirt hurriedly turned around to check what was going on.

When I was about to get up and look for him, I found that the man was squatting by the creek and didn't know what he was doing. When I saw that he was still there, I exhaled and felt relieved and sat down to rest again.

"What are you doing?" Questioning words came from the mouth of the woman in blue. She poked the extinguished bonfire casually with a branch, and a wisp of black smoke slowly rose.

There was no response, but it could be seen that the boy's movements seemed to have sped up a bit. When the woman in blue was about to get up to check, she saw the boy in short shirt turning around with a smile, and holding two small fish in his hand, which seemed to have been caught by him.

It's taken care of.

"Look! The fish I caught in the morning can be eaten later before setting off." Lin Manliu waved the small fish in his hand and said excitedly to Yue Hanzhi, as if a child had done something interesting and was waiting for praise from an adult.

.

"Childish," the woman in blue said, turning her head and no longer looking at the boy, but the corners of her mouth had already curled up in a small arc, and she was smiling.

The young man in a short shirt didn't care about this. He sat down by the campfire and re-lit the fire with a fire stick to prepare the grilled fish. After a while, a faint aroma of burnt fragrance spread out. Yue Hanzhi still looked at the woods and refused to look back because of his face.

It wasn't until the young man put the grilled fish next to her and shouted, "Eat it quickly, eat it quickly," that she started to eat it. She looked at the young man who was feasting in front of her. She didn't know if he had forgotten or thought about the conversation last night.

.

After eating the grilled fish, the two packed up their belongings, extinguished the fire, and prepared to set off to catch up with the caravan. However, because it was still a horse, they still rode on a horse together like yesterday. Maybe it was because of their physical strength.

They had almost recovered, so it was a bit awkward to do this again. Yue Hanzhi lowered his head the whole time, neither looking forward nor turning to look at the young man riding the horse.

At noon, I finally saw the caravan's carriage at a post station next to a village. Lin Man's six royal horses were heading towards the location of the post station. Noisy sounds came from the surroundings before they even got off their horses.

"Little brother Manliu!!! Isn't this little brother Manliu? None of us had a good rest last night, so we were worried about you."

"Me too!" the voices of the caravan men gradually came.

Hearing the noisy sound, Yue Hanzhi suddenly realized that they had found the caravan, but she was still sitting sideways in front of Lin Manliu, looking like a little birdie? The roots of her ears immediately turned red. She waited until the horse stopped.

He pushed the young man's arms away from his short shirt and jumped off the horse. Then he turned his back to the inn and did not dare to look back.

Lin Manliu also dismounted and chatted with everyone. The caravan manager smiled and nodded at the two people beside the horse, and waved to the boy in a short shirt to let the two of them come to the table for dinner. The waiter of the inn took the horses away and the two of them entered.

At the table, the steward called for more food to be served again. The men didn't look carefully yesterday but only today they saw the face of the woman in blue clearly. They began to talk unconsciously in low voices, and some couldn't help but start praising Brother Manliu for being a heroic boy, and so on.

He continued to praise him until the steward coughed and scolded him.

"Man Liu, what influence will those two people have yesterday..." the steward asked, pouring tea.

"We stayed in the forest all night yesterday and there was no movement. Everyone came all the way and everything was fine. It shouldn't be a big problem. But just in case, try to avoid the boundaries of Yuezhou when we return," Lin Manliu said after taking the tea bowl.

.

"Well, it is indeed necessary to act like this. No matter what the reason is, when we go to Yuezhou again, we may have to make things difficult for them again," the steward said after thinking for a moment.

Later, we discussed some arrangements for the next trip with the caravan manager. We were still on the border of Yuezhou. After everyone finished eating, they were ready to leave and continue their journey. The boy in a short shirt ate some casually and sat down at the table to rest. Unexpectedly, the chair was blocked.

The woman in blue kicked her, and he looked at her somewhat angry face, her lips moving slightly, as if she was repeating the word "curtain hat".

Only then did Lin Manliu react. After informing the steward, he went to the carriage to look for anything like a curtain hat. After searching for a while, he only found a larger bamboo hat. He took it back and handed it to Yue Hanzhi to make do with.

Use it. Then the woman in blue took up her bamboo hat, pulled out a silk scarf, covered her face, and sat at the table. She looked like the woman in blue who first saw her in the forest.

At this moment, several guests came to the inn, all of whom were wearing swords and knives. They were headed by a man who was dressed somewhat luxuriously. He was obviously a young man from this area. Naturally, he was surrounded by his bodyguards.

"The waiter has served some good wine, and today the Japanese hero is going to have a good drink and go to Hangzhou to see Mr. Lu open his shop!" Young Master said loudly.

The waiter at the inn hurriedly greeted him and offered him good wine and food.

The people in the caravan naturally avoided suspicion and talked in a lower voice. Lin Manliu just glanced at these people and stopped looking at these people. He tapped the table to remind the steward to get ready to go quickly. The steward of the caravan nodded and got up to go to the inn.

After paying the bill, I stood up and made a loud noise, perhaps because I was a little nervous. The noise here caught the attention of the young man at the table. He who was pouring the wine looked towards the caravan steward and saw Yue Hanzhi, who was wearing a bamboo hat and a veil.

The wine in the glass was already full and overflowing, and the young master didn't even notice.

He looked at the woman in the blue hat in front of him and couldn't look back. The guard next to him asked if he wanted to help him pour the wine, but he couldn't hear it. Lin Manliu was aware of this situation, and Yue Hanzhi was also unconscious.

He held the thin sword at his waist.

"That girl over there, I don't know how to call her, I am a descendant of the Jiang family in Yuezhou and have some connection with the Fengxue Grand View Tower." The young master started to introduce himself.

But there was no response. He was a little annoyed but didn't reply to his words. He stood up and looked at where Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi were sitting, pointed at them and said, "Don't you know who I am? Where do I come from the countryside?"

Country bumpkin".

"It's true that he came from the countryside. I don't know who this young master is, so I hope you can forgive me," the boy in a short shirt said with his hands in hand.

"Bold, our Yuezhou Master Jiang has never heard of his reputation and yet you dare to reply directly. Are you tired of living?" A guard said as he drew his sword and pointed it at Lin Manliu.

When Mr. Jiang raised his hand to stop him, he waved his hand and said, "Stop it! Since he is going out to see Brother Lu soon, your young master will also be a gangster in the future and cannot bully the weak. That girl over there just wants to

Getting acquainted might be awkward...".

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a young man in a short shirt: "If you don't want to disturb us and want to be a hero of the world, we hope that this hero will stop bothering us. I have never seen the world since I came to the country. You and the Lu in your mouth are...

We don’t even know him."

This angered the young master, and he stamped his feet and said: "I don't know, forget it, Brother Lu doesn't know, so does Brother Ye know? I, Brother Lu, am the richest young man in Jiangnan, and my second brother Ye Dangting is the richest man in Jiangnan."

A bunch of heroes, don't know that the mud-legged guy who rolled out of the mountain doesn't know anything and dares to act mischievous here!".
