Chapter 4 I go wild
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/
Longxi was named after it was west of Longshan. The ancients took it west as the right, so Longxi was also called Longyou.
It has been a "country of four barriers" since ancient times, and it is a place where military strategists must fight for, and wars are difficult to stop. Over time, it has become a major military center.
But just as when playing chess, there are times when there are negligences that never focus on a certain subtle point. Longxi, known as the "Four Frontier Country", is also not every place with iron armored heavy troops guarding it.
At least there is a remote and quiet town between Tianshui and Wushan. Not only is it difficult to see the shadow of soldiers, but even the solemn aura that should be in winter has weakened a lot when it comes here.
For those who have been through the severe cold for a long time, it is undoubtedly a rare treasure land to avoid the cold.
But for Li Congke and Yan Qiangwei, its significance is far more than just avoiding the cold.
......
The town is indeed not big.
From east to west, from south to north, and around, there was no decent and grand building.
After tossing and turning, it seems that there are only inconspicuous houses such as tiled houses and thatched huts.
Because of this, the carriage that was intercepted and destroyed by black and white along the way, and although it attracted many surprising gazes when passing by the town, the surprise was not disgusting and contempt, but was filled with curiosity and even respect for new things.
Yan Qiangwei just looked at it, but Li Congke remembered it deeply in his heart.
He is not a person who is very forgetful and used to ignoring things around him, especially when he feels something is wrong for no reason.
This is like instinct, more like nature.
So even though he never wants to have trouble on his own initiative, he always encounters countless troubles.
"Dynamic!"
A clear voice like a phoenix sounded from Yan Qiangwei's mouth. The two red-maned horses stopped quickly after hearing the news and stopped moving forward.
After seven days and seven nights of uninterrupted raids, they finally ushered in their own rest time.
But it will not be a moment, it will be permanent.
From the moment Yan Qiangwei stabbed her with poisonous needles into their key acupoints, it was destined to be permanent.
Yan Qiangwei put down her whip and deliberately avoided their eyes when she jumped off the carriage.
After all, it was not as hard-hearted as I imagined.
But he cannot show his tenderness like water at will.
How many beautiful women in troubled times are like flash in the pan, and after a moment of glory, they become a pile of dry bones, which is pitying?
She is also a beauty, but she cannot be a popular fan.
Because she still wanted to stand in front of him, resist open and hidden arrows for him, and cover up the frost, snow, wind and rain.
Even in his opinion, it was actually what the man did.
Yan Qiangwei had got off the carriage and changed her appearance with disguise early, but Li Congke was still in the carriage, wearing a mask that she had not taken off for many years.
Not far ahead of the two, there was an old tile house, but both Li Congke and Yan Qiangwei saw the difference between it and ordinary houses in the town at the first time.
The most representative difference is that a light red plaque hanging directly above the wooden door, although most of it was covered with snow, with the eyes of Li Congke and Yan Qiangwei, they could still distinguish some of the handwriting from it.
"Is it a single horizontal and two vertical grass character ", but it's a flower character, the surname of this family?"
After Yan Qiangwei finished speaking, Li Congke in the car said: "It is indeed the word "cao", but it does not look like a "flower", nor does it look like a surname. Except for the house where people from aristocratic families live, which small family have you seen carved their surnames on a plaque and hung them high?"
Yan Qiangwei nodded, as if she felt something was right. After standing in place and thinking for a moment, her right foot suddenly swayed, shaking up snow on the ground, with the gaze of flying geese. However, she had just made this move. Before she could use her true nature, Li Congke in the car coughed suddenly and said again: "Since you come, you can rest assured. What's more, you have already entered my door. The temperament of those wild girls in the past must be restrained."
Yan Qiangwei suddenly woke up, turned around and smiled knowingly at the direction of the carriage, pretending to be soft and said, "Yes, my words are reasonable, I will remember them."
The conversation between the two was not very loud, but the town was not spacious, and the area was too north and far away from the center. During the wind and snow seasons, the environment naturally seemed quiet.
Therefore, in comparison, if there are people living in this tiled house, it is difficult not to notice them at this moment.
Crack!
Sure enough, before Yan Qiangwei could come forward to knock on the door to test, the wooden door had been opened from inside, making a harsh sound like a bellows pulling.
Following the sound, a middle-aged woman was dressed in thick clothes and had poor facial features, and was very ordinary.
Her smile was very special, just like the stars in the dark night and the open fire under the heavy snow, lingering indescribable softness and warmth.
Although she went out to see the sound of Li Congke and Yan Qiangwei talking, the one she had been observing for the longest was a horse, followed by a car, and finally a human.
After using the disguise surgery, Yan Qiangwei looked obviously no longer a beautiful young woman. She deliberately added wrinkles on the corners of her eyes, cheeks, etc., but it was not too obvious, but it could also create an illusion of a certain age.
In connection with the words she had just heard, her name for Yan Qiangwei would naturally not be a girl.
"Madam, and this carriage do not seem to belong to this town."
Upon hearing this, Yan Qiangwei nodded quickly and admitted generously.
The middle-aged woman then asked, "I don't know where the wife is, and how did she come here?"
Yan Qiangwei said, "My ancestral home is Tianshui, and after getting married, I moved to Wuling. As for why I came here, it was a long story and many twists and turns, and it was difficult to describe it for a while. Now my husband and I are hungry and cold, and there is not much money left. I see that my sister is a good person and is a good person. Can we give us some food first? In the future, we will send someone to settle the silver."
Perhaps because I haven't heard the intimate name "sister" for a long time, the middle-aged woman's smile suddenly became even worse, and she said to Yan Qiangwei: "Sister, Madam, since she is willing to call me a rural woman, I can't lack etiquette. Let's call your husband out and follow me into the house, eat some hot noodles to fill her stomach and drive away the cold."
"This... my sister doesn't know that my husband has been weak and sick since childhood. Unfortunately, he was infected with cold and was more sick a few days ago. The disease is better than hunger, and it is not convenient to come forward for the time being. If my sister sincerely wants to help me, I have some herbs left here. You decoct them into soup and I will feed him to take them. As for what I eat, my sister only needs to give you some dry food for traveling."
"I'm infected with the cold? Oh, then I can't just eat dry food. How can I not drink some hot soup to warm my body when I'm in heavy snow? This way, you give me the herbs and I'll let my family suffer and control the heat. I'll give you two bowls of hot noodles by myself."
Yan Qiangwei wanted to say something again, but Li Congke in the car said first: "In this way, I will be grateful for this elder sister. When my condition improves and gets out of the predicament, I will definitely thank you very much."
The middle-aged woman looked in the direction of the carriage and smiled and said, "I'm so serious. People like us can't do big things. If you can, you can help with small things. After all, everyone has times of difficulty and it's impossible for them to be smooth all the time."
"In the world, a kind-hearted person like my elder sister is no longer... cough cough!"
Before he finished speaking, a violent coughing sound came from the carriage.
Yan Qiangwei naturally immediately showed concern. She quickly jumped to the car, slowly lifted a corner of the curtain, and penetrated half of her body. However, before she could ask questions, she understood what to do next through Li Congke's eyes.
"My husband's condition is really not optimistic!"
Sure enough, when Yan Qiangwei put down the curtain and turned to get out of the car, there was a black cloth bag with a faint fragrance of herbs.
When he handed the black cloth bag to the middle-aged woman, Yan Qiangwei asked some more questions, which were related to the middle-aged woman's name.
After the two talked for a while, Yan Qiangwei immediately turned back to the car, while the middle-aged woman carried a cloth bag, turned around and returned home, and gently closed the door.
"She didn't invite you in to sit?" In the carriage, Li Congke's eyes changed and he asked Yan Qiangwei who was sitting beside him.
Yan Qiangwei said: "The invitation is an invitation, but I care about my husband... Uh, my husband, you, so I'd just declined first."
Hearing the unnaturalness of Yan Qiangwei's name change, Li Congke immediately smiled and said, "Qiangwei, I have secretly used my true energy to lay a wall of air around the carriage. People with my cultivation level below cannot hear our conversation no matter how close they are to the carriage. People with my cultivation level above me do not need to eavesdrop, just move and capture them. So now you don't have to do this for the time being."
Yan Qiangwei said in a lost voice: "Honor, has he consumed his true energy again?"
Li Congke said: "Don't worry, it's not yet at the point where the oil is exhausted, and for the sake of safety, this amount of expense is still necessary."
"Does the young master think there is something wrong with this woman?"
Li Congke nodded at Yan Qiangwei almost without thinking.
Yan Qiangwei said in surprise: "But when I handed the medicinal materials to her, I checked her meridians and did not find the true qi fluctuations of the martial artists. Where did the young master tell her that she had a problem?"
Li Congke did not answer immediately, but asked back: "Don't you think she trusts us too easily?"
Yan Qiangwei said: "It seems unsurprising that the villagers in Shanye are simple and kind."
Li Congke said: "Even a person born simple and kind will not lose his most basic curiosity. But before she asked you one question, she stopped asking questions carefully, and the question was not the main question. Rose, if it were you, wouldn't even have a trace of curiosity when you saw such a seemingly extraordinary carriage but actually had multiple broken places?
Yan Qiangwei said: "That's unlikely, but this carriage is not completely wooden structure, and there are iron chains connected through the inside. Unless many powerful internal families attack each other with strong true energy, it is difficult to suffer major damage. The young master knows that. Many people who chase us these days are many, but most of them are destroyed by arrows, hidden weapons and other objects from the back or both wings. They have not been able to get close to each other. Just look at the front, people with poor eyes cannot easily find abnormalities."
Li Congke said: "So in your opinion, she is really just an ordinary woman with poor eyesight but warm heart?"
Yan Qiangwei shook her head and said, "If the young master insisted that she had a problem, I would not treat her as an ordinary woman."
Li Congke smiled, suddenly changed the subject and said, "You seem to have asked her name just now."
Yan Qiangwei nodded and said, "She takes her husband's surname and is called Xu. There are two words in her name: Frost and snow frost, and the other is ordinary."
Li Congke said: "Xu Shuangfan is a pleasant name."
Yan Qiangwei said, "I heard that her family used to open a noodle shop, but the plaque used in the noodle shop was very strange. It was engraved by her husband himself, with only one character, the upper part was the head of the word "cao", and the lower part was the character "fan" in her name, namely "peng". She didn't understand the meaning of this word, but because it was engraved by her husband himself, it was kept and brought from the noodle shop to the home. Actually, I don't understand it very much. The young master is well-read, can you explain it to me?"
Li Congke said: "I go wild and breeze the wheat. There is such a poem in the Book of Songs. It seems that her husband is a person who knows how to quote scriptures and classics. Using the word Peng to extend the word " wheat flour" is also unique."
Yan Qiangwei felt enlightened and said, "I really want to see her husband after hearing what the young master said."
Li Congke touched the mask and said lightly: "I don't want to see you very much."
"Why?"
"Because if she is the only one, even if there is a problem, it will be detrimental to us. I am sure to escape from you, even if she is an elder-level figure in the top ten sects and even four major families. But if one person is added or even more, I may not be very sure."
The wind has stopped at some point.
