Li Amu had a cold face and said nothing, silently leading the way, while Zhou Hanbei looked around curiously and gradually walked to a village.
Looking around, you can see a patchwork of stilted buildings located here. Surrounded by green mountains, they are reflected in the mirror-like lake. Walking on the old-fashioned paths in the village, the uniform blue floor tiles lead to a winding and quiet place. A group of towering ancient trees grow in the village.
The ancient village is guarded on the hill beside the lake.
Zhou Hanbei counted from outside to inside, and found that there were nearly a thousand stilted buildings. Their gray-black tile roofs and wooden walls and window columns had turned gray-black over time. The warmth of winter
Under the sun, the light blue smoke is thick as clouds.
“So beautiful!”
Zhou Hanbei had a look of yearning in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, more and more people could be seen on the road. Everyone said hello to Li Amu, and he responded one by one. At the same time, they all looked at Zhou Hanbei curiously, wondering how he could bring an outsider in.
, Zhou Hanbei didn't care about so much, he also smiled and nodded to everyone and said hello.
Several daring children kept circling around Zhou Hanbei. They had never seen anyone dressed like him before, and they kept chattering on the side.
"You little bastards, go and play..."
"Slightly, slightly..."
Several children made faces at Li Amu and ran back in a hurry. They probably knew Li Amu's character.
"Hey...be careful, I will complain to your grandma!"
Li Amu frightened several children with a smile on his face. When they disappeared, he saw Zhou Hanbei was so angry that he immediately turned as black as coal and walked towards the stilted building not far away.
Zhou Hanbei sniffed, followed with a smile.
"Come in!"
When I arrived at the door, I heard a very vicissitudes of sound. After entering, a strong scent of medicine hit my nostrils. I saw the black medicine jar bubbling, and bursts of green smoke floating in the air.
"Uncle, I brought you in..."
"Well, sit down wherever you like, Amu, you go back first!"
"But……"
Before Li Amu finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man he called his uncle. He had no choice but to give up, glared at Zhou Hanbei and left silently.
The old man was hunched over, holding a cattail leaf fan and fanning the fire gently, adding something to it from time to time. The old man's hands were rough, his face was old but very rosy, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he looked very energetic. Judging from those eyes
There was a trace of Li Xinlan.
Zhou Hanbei had some guesses in his mind, but he did not disturb the old man at this time and waited quietly. The old man took out some worms and put them into the jar. Zhou Hanbei's scalp felt numb when he saw them.
"This is the unique medicinal diet of our Jiuli tribe...it has healing effects!" As if he knew the question in Zhou Hanbei's heart, the old man explained it calmly.
"Boy got it!"
Zhou Hanbei accepted the instruction humbly and bowed.
Slowly putting down the cattail leaf fan in his hand, the old man took out a bowl from the side, poured out the cooked medicine, pointed at the bowl of strangely colored medicine and said to Zhou Hanbei, "Drink it, you were also injured just now."
It's a big injury, it'll be good for you." After saying that, the old man walked aside and sat down with his hands behind his back.
"Uh...thank you, senior."
Zhou Hanbei was not pretentious. He picked it up and pinched his nose and drank it. He was not afraid of the old man harming him. This was the Jiuli tribe. There were many ways to kill him. It didn’t have to be so troublesome. Moreover, the news had been transmitted from so far away, so Zhou Hanbei could
Defiant Bei knew that this must be a master.
It's just that the smell really made him feel uncomfortable. Not to mention the bitterness, the key point was that the smell was disgusting. It was the smell that only came after adding bugs. It wouldn't go away for a while. He endured it for a while.
Drink it in one breath.
"Thank you, senior, for giving me the medicine..."
After drinking the medicine, Zhou Hanbei thanked the old man again. Although it didn't taste good, he felt a refreshing feeling in his body, and the previously injured area no longer hurt so much.
All these performances were noticed by the old man. He stroked his beard and nodded, expressing his appreciation. Nonuo, who did not show any signs in front of him, was solemn and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Sit down, don't stand...your name is Zhou Hanbei?"
Zhou Hanbei sat down and nodded.
"Oh, it was you who made my silly granddaughter so heartbroken and haunted by dreams?"
Zhou Hanbei didn't know how to answer when he heard this, and he picked his head in embarrassment.
"You are Li Xinlan's grandfather, that is, my grandfather."
"Haha, you are good at riding the pole. I, Li Haichuan, can call me grandpa if you like." Li Haichuan said to Zhou Hanbei with a smile on his face.
Zhou Hanbei immediately beamed after hearing this, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked with concern, "Grandpa, how is Xinlan?"
"She's fine, she's fine!"
"Is everything okay? Then what I heard from Brother Amu was that he felt sorry for my sister Xinlan and so on?" Zhou Hanbei was stunned when he heard this and continued to ask.
"Don't listen to that brat's nonsense, Xinlan is fine!"
After getting Li Haichuan's assurance, Zhou Hanbei let go of Xinlan and continued chatting with the old man. He wanted to know why Li Xinlan suddenly came back, why he left, and where he was going to do what he wanted to do? These are what Zhou Hanbei wanted.
Understand it, so that we can find her as soon as possible.
Li Haichuan didn't answer him, just hesitated on the side.
"Bang..." A heavy door push sounded, followed by several hurried footsteps. Before anyone arrived, a man's angry voice was heard...
"Where is that bastard Zhou Hanbei?"
"Don't be impulsive, keep your voice down..."
Another woman's voice persuaded from the side.
Zhou Hanbei was stunned when he heard this. Whoever came to me seemed to be looking for trouble. I didn't cause any trouble.
I saw a burly man with an angry face walking in. Next to him stood a dignified woman with a delicate face. The two came in and took a look around, and saw Zhou Hanbei.
The middle-aged man didn't think much. He was so angry that a powerful and heavy palm hit his face. Zhou Hanbei was shocked. He was no match for this Jiejing Mirror War Witch.
"Hmph, stop..."
Another, more powerful force appeared in front of Zhou Hanbei and blocked the blow.
"Dad! What are you doing?"
"Tsinghua, do you want Xinlan to hate you forever?"
After the man named Qinghua heard what the woman said, he slowly put down his palm. The two people who came were Li Qinghua and Li Biyuan, Li Xinlan's parents. The entire Jiuli clan had the surname Li, and they all married within the clan, as well as outside.
Married, but those people rarely come back.
"How is it appropriate to behave like this in front of outsiders?"
"Dad, but Xinlan..."
"Shut up, it's Xinlan's choice no matter what..."
The father and son were constantly quarreling over their daughter and granddaughter. Li Biyuan was on the side to persuade him, while Zhou Hanbei stood aside at a loss, as if everyone's hostility towards him was related to Xinlan.
"Uncle, aunt, I don't know what made you so angry. If it's my fault, I'm willing to apologize!" Zhou Hanbei said sincerely to Li Qinghua and his wife.
It's okay that he didn't speak. As soon as he spoke, several people stopped arguing. "Pa..." A loud slap hit Zhou Hanbei's face. This time Zhou Hanbei was stunned.
"Bi Yuan, you...hey!"
Li Haichuan pointed at Li Biyuan with a look of regret. He never thought that his daughter-in-law, who was usually friendly to others and had never been angry, could have such a side.
"Your apology is worthless to us." Li Biyuan trembled all over and her eyes were moist. "If anything bad happens to Xinlan, I will make you pay with your life."
Li Biyuan held back, fearing that he would lose control of his emotions and kill Zhou Hanbei, so he turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute, aunt, what happened? What happened to Xinlan? Didn't grandpa say she's fine?"
"Hey... let me tell you!"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, after appeasing several people, Li Haichuan slowly spoke. It turned out that Li Xinlan was heartbroken because there was no news about Zhou Hanbei. She originally wanted to die, but then she remembered that Zhou Hanbei was still there.
There is no revenge.
She wanted to fulfill this wish, so she came back alone to be baptized by her clan in advance. However, her family didn't know why she came back at first. She secretly opened the Valley of Ten Thousand Insects at night when no one was around. Her state was not good enough to accept the heart-gnawing of ten thousand insects, so she could not escape death.
By the time Li Haichuan and others found out, it was too late to stop them. Li Xinlan was lying there dying, with only one belief keeping her going, which was to avenge Zhou Hanbei.
When he heard this, Li Biyuan was already crying, "You still have the nerve to come here. You have no idea how painful that kind of inhuman torture is."
At this moment, Zhou Hanbei also had two lines of clear tears slowly falling down his face. He was heartbroken. He kept blaming himself in his heart. His clenched fists made a sound, and his nails were embedded in his flesh without even realizing it.
"I……"
Before Zhou Hanbei could speak, Li Haichuan continued. At that time, Xinlan was in a coma and started talking nonsense about why she wanted to be with brother Hanbei. If her Yin-Yang silkworm hadn't evolved into a Yin-Yang Golden Horned Silkworm, she would have been
I'm trying my best to protect her, otherwise, she might not be able to survive this time.
Do you know how long she persisted? It was a full month. She finally reached Tianwu without any danger, but her state was unstable. No one dared to think about what would happen. After waking up, Xinlan practiced for a few days, and then
Set off to the north, saying that I will go to the wilderness to avenge you.
No amount of persuasion worked. We said we wanted to go together, but she refused, saying that she could not cause a war between the entire Jiuli and Dahuang because of her, not to mention that they had Xijiang behind them.
"I wonder what attracted you to my daughter?"
Li Haichuan said such words, which made Zhou Hanbei blame himself even more. Was it possible that such a thing would not have happened if he had never seen it before? He shook his head.
"Uncle, aunt, the two of us like each other and feel so comfortable together that nothing can stop us." Zhou Hanbei looked at the two of them firmly and continued to hold on to the persistence in his heart. Only those who love the right person will be willing to do it for each other.
pay.
Presumably Zhou Hanbei saved her without hesitation at that time. This is true love. He didn't say this out loud to avoid people mistakenly thinking that he was taking advantage of her kindness.
"Uncle, aunt, I promise you, I will definitely bring Xinlan back unharmed..."
Several people looked at Zhou Hanbei's serious attitude and remained silent for a long time...
