A knife in love

Chapter 3430

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he only heard the waiter go on to say: "The villain just tried the river water, and he felt it was cold to the bone, which is different from other rivers. The big shopkeeper said that this was originally a dry river, but the river suddenly swelled up, and it was extremely cold. Weird. From my point of view, this river may have a great relationship with the fire eruption we encountered a few days ago."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback when he heard what the man said, and couldn't help but glanced at him, and said, "I would like to hear more about it."

The clerk smiled and said: "The villain has been in Fusang country for six or seven years. During that time, he went out with the shopkeeper many times to do business. He knows that there are many big snow mountains in the north of Fusang country. The snow on the mountains does not melt all the year round, and it is extremely cold. However, when the ground fire erupts and the snow is melted by the flames, it will flow down from the mountain and merge into a river. I think this dry river is the place where the water flows after the snow melts. When we set off from the pier , This is still a dry river, but the fire erupted a few days ago, the flames melted the snow on the snow mountain, and the snow water rushed, turning this place into a big river again."

Li Qiufeng listened to the clerk's eloquent talk, and was greatly admired in his heart. He thought to himself that Master once said that there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the rivers and lakes, and even some small people have their own merits.As the saying goes, there must be a teacher for three people. This guy seems ordinary, even a little stupid, but because he has seen and heard the fire eruption and the snow melting into water, he can deduce the origin of this strange river. Even a shrewd person like Ye Fengchun doesn't know why this river suddenly appeared.I am walking in the rivers and lakes, and I must not underestimate anyone, otherwise I will suffer a big loss sooner or later.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, the raft had reached the middle of the river and was sailing straight to the opposite bank.After half a stick of incense, the raft finally reached the bank of the river.One man thrust the wooden stick into the sand beside the edge, and the other man picked up a rope as thick as an arm from the raft, tied one end to the raft, and the other end to the wooden stick, like a mooring rope. Boats on the shore of the pier are generally tied with ropes.Afterwards, two assistants led two horses and accompanied Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan to the river bank. The assistant who had just talked to Li Qiufeng said respectfully: "Uncle Li, Miss Mu, the villain brother is here On the shore, I look forward to the return of the two of you as soon as possible."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan thanked the two assistants, and then turned their heads to look at the way they came. They saw Ye Fengchun standing on the bank, but his figure was much smaller.Li Qiufeng waved to Ye Fengchun, said goodbye to the two men, and then got on the horse with Murong Danyan, and galloped towards the northwest.

Before Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan parted with Ye Fengchun, they had firmly memorized the road to Hanshan fishing village drawn on the map.Ye Fengchun once told Li Qiufeng that Hanshan Fishing Village is a remote place, there is only one official road leading to the village, and there are no other roads, so as long as you follow the main road, you will not get lost.It's just that the road is full of weeds and dead trees. Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were worried that their mounts would be injured, so they didn't dare to run wildly, so they could only walk slowly.

The two walked for about two hours, and it was more than twenty li away from the big river. Then they got off their horses and let their mounts gnaw on the weeds by the roadside.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan sat on the side of the road to rest, and took out the dried meat wrapped in oil paper to share.After about half an hour, the two mounted their horses and continued on their way.After walking for three or four miles, I saw the road extending into a big mountain, surrounded by dark woods, which looked quite strange at first glance.Li Qiufeng didn't take it seriously, but Murong Danyan felt a little uneasy, turned his head and looked around, and murmured: "This mountain is so strange, it seems like I've seen it somewhere before."

Li Qiufeng rode on the horse and raised his eyes to look far away. After a while, he turned his head and said to Murong Danyan: "Miss Murong is right. This mountain is like a barrier. At first glance, it is somewhat similar to Motianling."

Hearing Li Qiufeng's words, Murong Danyan's heart trembled, and he fixed his eyes on the mountain. After a while, he couldn't help but exclaimed, and said in his mouth: "A word really awakened the dreamer! This mountain is indeed related to Motianling. They are somewhat similar. However, Motianling is a lonely mountain, but this mountain is the tallest among the mountains, so it is not as abrupt as Motianling at a glance."

When Murong Danyan said this, he couldn't help frowning, and then said: "This is only more than 30 miles away from Hanshan Fishing Village. I think the old thief Liu Sheng Zongyan used to pass by here. After he fled to Liaodong, he hid in the east. At the foot of Old Man Mountain in Liao County, I don’t know if the old thief will think of the mountain in front of us when he sees Motian Ridge.”

The two talked and talked, and before they knew it, they had already walked into the mountain. They saw the road winding and winding, extending along the valley, and gradually disappearing into a black forest.Murong Danyan rode on the horse and looked around, the more he looked, the more frightened he became, his right hand could not help but grasp the hilt of the long sword.Seeing the steep terrain, Li Qiufeng was quite disturbed, thinking to himself that if there were enemies ambushing here, Miss Murong and I would be in a dead end, and the situation would be extremely disadvantageous.But the mountains here are steep, and there is only one road between the valleys. The hillsides on both sides are full of rocks and forests. There is no road for us to pass.If you want to go to Hanshan Fishing Village, you can only go along this road.Right now there is no other way, I have to be alert, if there is an enemy sneak attack, even if I risk my life, I have to protect Miss Murong to escape.

While Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, the two of them rode forward another twenty or thirty feet, and saw that many tall trees felled on the road in front of them, covering most of the road, and only the right side was barely passable, but only one person and one rider were allowed. pass.Seeing this situation, Li Qiufeng became more and more suspicious, turned his head and said to Murong Danyan: "There is something strange in the road ahead, Miss, wait here, I will go to the front to check."

After Li Qiufeng finished speaking, without waiting for Murong Danyan to speak, he got off the horse, handed the reins to Murong Danyan, and walked forward quickly.Murong Danyan jumped off the horse immediately, holding the reins of the two horses with his left hand, and drew out a long sword with his right hand across his chest, staring at Li Qiufeng with his eyes.I saw Li Qiufeng walk up to the big trees across the road, turn around among the trees, and sometimes stretch out his hand to slap or kick the tree trunk twice.Murong Danyan didn't know what Li Qiufeng was planning, but when he saw his behavior, he felt suspicious.

After half a stick of incense, Li Qiufeng turned around and walked back. When he reached Murong Danyan, he stopped and said: "Those trees have fallen on the road. I don't know how many years. Most of the trunks are rotten and broken. There are no traces of chiseling and chiseling, presumably they died and fell on the road, not by human power."
