Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 16 Departure
(1)

Jiangzhou is located at the estuary of the Yangtze River, with developed waterway transportation and is the center connecting the north-south waterway.Because it is located on the edge of the mainland, far from the center of war, the soldiers are strong and the people are rich, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.The economy is prosperous and there are many tourists coming and going, which is a great miracle in the troubled times.It takes a few days to travel from Yangcheng to Jiangzhou, but Bai Feng, Zhao Kuo, and Murong Yan traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, just to meet more interesting people and things.So I drove my horse to walk on the official road with green clothes on both sides, very leisurely.

Although the three of them had never been to Jiangzhou, they heard that Jiangzhou, which was passed down by the merchants, was a completely different place from Yangcheng in the Central Plains and Yuyi in the northern part of Saibei.If not everyone there speaks the same language and language to them, it will make people feel that they have arrived in another kingdom.

The three who rode in the middle of the road looked curiously at the merchants and pedestrians passing by.An old man in a mink suit passed by with two net bags of fish in his hands; a caravan coming from afar was guarding with boxes of goods behind him; and a group of monks chanting sutras and chanting Buddha just passed by, monks Surrounded by a coffin to be sent to a distant place.It was only after Zhao Kuo asked that he learned that they only dared to continue on the road because they heard the news that the bandit disaster in Yangcheng had been eliminated.

This caused Zhao Kuo to exclaim: "Brother Bai, it's because of you that they can continue to live normally!"

Bai Feng replied slightly unhappily: "It's not me, it's those dead soldiers who exchanged their lives for..."

Seeing that the young man beside him lost his leisurely expression, Murong Yan tugged at his sleeve and looked at him with concern.Bai Feng just responded with a smile, and then looked forward with a blank expression.

Half a day after the trip, the three passed by a small teahouse on the side of the official road.The teahouse is located in the center of Sancha Road, surrounded by mountains and forests. A blue flag with the words "Small Shop in the Woods" printed on one side is placed in the most eye-catching position to attract visitors.It was the scorching sun, so there were a lot of guests, and several of them also planned to go to the teahouse to rest, and by the way inquire about the road conditions ahead.

There are only two people running the small teahouse, an old couple.One person entertains guests, and the other is in charge of serving dishes.After Murong Yan and Zhao Kuo found their seats, Bai Feng went to ask the old woman who was serving the guests what the dishes were.The two people sitting at the table on the other side were discussing something secretly during this interval.

Zhao Kuo, who was sitting opposite Murong Yan, covered his mouth with his hand and asked quietly, "Miss Murong, have you noticed anything wrong with Brother Bai?"

"Yeah!" Murong Yan replied with an attitude of extreme approval: "I think he must be hiding something from us!"

At the same time, Bai Feng quietly appeared beside the two of them and asked with a smile, "What are you... talking about?"

"I...we're talking..." Before Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the girl's shout came from the way they came.

"Help! Who will save me..."

The sound is getting closer and clearer. "Why does this voice sound so..." Zhao Kuo muttered to himself, then turned to look at the place where the voice came from, and said, "My sister?!"

I saw Zhao Xiaomei riding on a galloping horse, crumbling.She tried her best to keep her body close to the horse's back and clasped her hands around the horse's neck, which was the most common way to deal with a mad horse.The little sister closed her eyes and had completely lost control of the horse under her crotch.The horse rushed straight to the small teahouse, but fortunately, when it was about to hit the person, it turned into another fork in the road.

Zhao Kuo felt helpless with the passing of Zhao Xiaomei, he could only suck the dust from the horses flying by, coughing and asking, "What's going on?"

At this time, Bai Feng lightly jumped on the horse tied to the wild tree by the road, and followed the figure of Zhao Xiaomei at full speed.The young man quickly approached the galloping horse. He crouched on the horse while riding the horse. Seeing the opportunity, he jumped up from his horse and sat behind Zhao Xiaomei.

Bai Feng immediately grabbed the reins of Crazy Horse, pulled it back hard, and kept making a "call" sound to comfort the horse's mood.Crazy Horse had to slow down as the bridle was controlled again, and the teenager's "horse language" also played a role.Crazy Horse finally stopped after struggling for a few miles.

"Miss Zhao, it's all right now, you don't need to hold the horse's neck anymore." Zhao Kuo looked at the little girl in front of him and reassured him.

The little sister opened her eyes in panic, only to find that she had stopped in place.She breathed a sigh of relief, sat up, and inadvertently leaned into Bai Feng's arms.The little girl looked up subconsciously and found that Bai Feng had saved her.She stared at her big brown eyes, and after looking at each other for a while with the young man behind her, both of them were ashamed.

The little sister stroked her cheeks with both hands and lowered her head shyly, while Bai Feng jumped off the horse in a panic and apologized to Xiaomei Zhao: "Miss Zhao, I'm sorry for the offense!"

The little sister said hesitantly: "No...no...thing."

"Miss Zhao, please go and meet Brother Zhao quickly! He will definitely be very worried about your safety!" Bai Feng cupped his hands and lowered his eyebrows, and did not dare to offend at all when he spoke.

"Then... what are you going to do?" The little girl asked Bai Feng with a sideways glance.

"I'll lead a horse for you below..."

Zhao Xiaomei expressed her disappointment slightly, thinking that she could ride another horse together... but she had no choice but to agree: "Okay..."

Bai Feng led Zhao Xiaomei's mount and walked in the direction of the tea house.After a while, Bai Feng ran into his own horse, as well as Zhao Kuo and Murong Yan next to the horse.

When Zhao Kuo heard his younger sister, who looked and behaved a little strangely, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Little sister, why are you here? Where are they?"

"Uh..." Zhao Xiaomei hesitated for a while, then said, "I'm worried that you and Murong sister will suffer! As for Dad, I have already left a letter to explain, I believe he will understand!"

Zhao Kuo looked at Bai Feng and Murong Yan who were sneering on the side, and said helplessly: "Can you stop being self-willed? If it wasn't for Brother Bai, with your first glimpse of the door, you would definitely not end well! "

"I..." Zhao Xiaomei choked and said, "I can't even go out with you if I want to!" As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of crying and sobbing.

Murong Yan smiled and discouraged: "Young Master Zhao, don't be angry, my little sister has also rushed for a long time, and her stomach must be very hungry. If you have anything to say, go back to the teahouse and talk about it..."

After a while, everyone returned to the teahouse, drinking tea and eating, and chatting about the little girl sneaking away.After the proprietress waited for them to be seated again, she brought out the food.

"Come on plain noodles!" said the old woman, holding four bowls of plain noodles.

The little girl smelled a few bowls of plain noodles and complained dissatisfiedly: "Why are there only plain noodles... Is this enough to eat?"

Zhao Kuo responded disdainfully: "I'm very lucky to have a bowl of plain noodles to eat when I go out to walk around the rivers and lakes! If the eldest miss is not willing, it's still too late to return to Daddy's side now!"

"Zhao Kuo, do you have to fight against me!" The little girl replied angrily.

"I'm doing this for your own good!" Zhao Kuo responded in kind, "You stinky girl who doesn't know whether to live or die!"

"You!" The little girl was so angry that she swallowed hard and said, "I won't eat this thing anyway!"

Murong Yan on the side looked at the two brothers and sisters quarreling with each other, showing a very embarrassed look, and winked at Bai Feng on the side, asking him to think of a way.

After a while, Bai Feng smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, when you go out, you don't want to eat well, you just want to be full. This is something that everyone understands, how can you not understand it?"

The little girl was surprised: "Is this true?" Then she looked at the plain noodles on the table, touched her already hungry belly, and ate it in a big mouth.

Zhao Kuo felt incredible about this, and said to Bai Feng with admiration: "Brother Bai, it really belongs to you!"

"After eating this bowl of noodles, you are on our 'pirate ship', but you are not allowed to leave casually!" Bai Feng continued.

"I never... never said that I wanted to leave, it was Zhao Kuo who wanted to drive me away..." The little girl said as she ate the noodles.

Zhao Kuo was completely convinced by Bai Feng, and regardless of his wayward sister, he hurried to eat the noodles.Although the passing of pedestrians and merchants will inevitably cause some dust, but it does not prevent a few wanderers from going out eating monotonous plain noodles to fill their stomachs.
