Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 21 Departure
(6)

The spires and tile-roofed houses on both sides are separated by several meters, forming a street for people to walk.Sparrow-shaped owl tails adorn the facade, and the flying scorpion on the roof tilts upwards in a wonderful arc. The elements of Han family architecture fill the corners and corners of Qianfeng Town.The biggest difference from the towns outside is the Miao people living in the streets with the Han people and wearing the eye-catching traditional Miao family costumes.When the Miao girl passed by the two young men who had just arrived, the crisp sound of the silver ornaments colliding with each other attracted their attention.

In the face of strangers, the locals all cast curious eyes.And Zhao Kuo was even more caught by the gaze of the unfamiliar Miao girl with a beautiful face under the rice shop over there, recording his soul.When Ajuan led the two teenagers there, the Miao girl greeted Ajuan warmly in Miao dialect.After the two held hands and greeted each other for a while, Ajuan looked at Zhao Kuo and Bai Feng behind him and motioned to continue on their way.

When Ajuan realized that Zhao Kuo's soul was still attached to the friend he was chatting with, he sneered at Zhao Kuo, "Young Master Zhao, have you seen enough?"

Seeing Ajuan's disappointed expression, Zhao Kuo replied embarrassedly, "Everyone has a love for beauty! Take a few more glances, it won't hurt the elegance..."

"Speaking of which, is there really no problem in keeping Yan'er and Miss Zhao at the inn?" Bai Feng interrupted the flirting of the two around him and asked.

Zhao Kuo replied: "I think this place is much more stable than the outside. Besides, the two girls have been running around for a few days, so it's time to take a break."

"Yeah! Yes!" Aju replied, "The people here are all honest and cute, and they'll be fine!"

Seeing the tacit answers from the two of them, Bai Feng smiled knowingly and said, "It makes sense, and to see the mother of Ajuan girl, you can only go through the town and take the only mountain road. Let the girl's family suffer again. , it's really embarrassing."

The three laughing and laughing set off to the Miao Village hidden in the mountains and forests according to yesterday's plan to find a way to get out of Qianfengling.The winding mountain road is like a big snake, entwining the continuous mountains and extending to the depths of the mountain.Between the unnamed headlands, the leaders of this land live.The mountain road is covered with sand and stones, and there are traces of landslides from time to time on the slopes on both sides, which are very steep!Even Ajuan, who has traveled this road many times, reminded the two strangers more than once, but it turned out that she herself stumbled first.

When several people were about to jump over a small ditch, Ajuan's left instep was accidentally cut by a sharp stone, and the sandals woven with floral cloth on her feet were also broken.Zhao Kuo, who had always been apologetic for slapping Ajuan before, took the initiative to ask Ying to let the girl jump on his back, although the blood on his back had not dissipated.

When Ajuan saw someone willing to walk this mountain road on her own feet, her joy was beyond words.However, she still asked Zhao Kuo's injury first, and after receiving a positive answer, she agreed to his request.The girl was lying on Zhao Kuo's back, and from time to time she could smell the fragrance of the herbs she had applied for him, and felt the ups and downs of his breathing.

"As a matter of fact, I have been ashamed of hitting Miss Ajuan before..." Zhao Kuo said cautiously, carrying Ajuan on his back.

The girl looked at her injured foot and replied, "Young Master Zhao, you have already been beaten for me. Besides, in fact, I am too playful, so you can be forgiven for hitting me!"

"Isn't the girl's feet tight?" Zhao Kuo asked, looking at Ajuan's fair feet, the bright red blood on the instep was particularly noticeable.

"Uh... who knows!"

After a few sticks of incense, Bai Feng and Zhao Kuo finally got a glimpse of the rumored Miao Village.The houses are scattered around the hillside.Like the "twigs" of the mountain, they take root and sprout from the mountain, and grow there densely until the mountain as the "trunk" is completely buried.Ajuan guides the two of them to the central area of ​​the house. At this time, her mother usually handles all the affairs of Zuli Town in the council hall.The three stepped on the unique stone road, receiving the strange eyes from the Miao people on the side of the road, as well as the mixed and unknown voices of discussion.

"That... Miss Ajuan, why do you think they look at us strangely?" Zhao Kuo said cautiously.

Ajuan snickered: "Really? Why don't I think so?"

Bai Feng replied: "I always feel that they have been discussing the two of you! I don't know what they are talking about..."

"Ahem, they're talking..." Ajuan deliberately suppressed her voice, pretending to be an old man's voice, and said, "Ajuan is so close to a stranger with a new face this time, it's probably her husband, right? !"

After Zhao Kuo heard it, he was shocked: "This... Miss Ajuan, I'll put you down! If there are more rumors and rumors, that pair of girls' fame..."

"Look at my feet, can you bear it? Then let me down and let me walk barefoot!" Ajuan interrupted angrily.

Just at the next moment, a serious voice came from the front, and stopped Ajuan and Zhao Kuo's playfulness: "Ajuan! You and a strange man are in public with me, and you are rude and rude!" The words came from a man dressed in A woman in Miao-style Chinese clothing with a crown of silver flowers on her head.Her slightly thick voice was slightly inconsistent with her fair and tender face, and it was far from Ajuan's ethereal voice.But judging from Ajuan's reaction, there is no doubt that this woman is the person Zhao Kuo and the others are looking for.

"Mother!" Ajuan stared blankly at the woman standing in front of her, her body naturally wanted to do a respectful salute, but the silly Zhao Kuo was still holding his butt, so Ajuan had no choice but to whisper in Zhao Kuo's ear Reminder: "Zhao Gongzi, let me down!"

After a little leaning, Zhao Kuo reacted and slowly put Ajuan back on the ground.Then Ajuan hurriedly walked to her mother's side and said, "Mother, this young master Zhao saw that his daughter was injured, so he was kind enough to carry it. I'll bring them here to see you, and I want to discuss with you about going to Ling. This is a short distance, but his agility seems to have forgotten the injury on his foot.

After the woman heard it, she turned around and waved for Zhao Kuo and his party to follow.His aura was so cold that it really made people shudder.Zhao Kuo had no choice but to change his heroic spirit, and asked Ajuan jokingly, "Miss Ajuan, so your feet are all right?"

Ajuan wiped off the red stain on the bare foot, and said playfully, "This is the powder of coagulation stone. The Han scholars in the town like to mix it with water and use it for painting. You... this ...a...silly...gull..."

After Zhao Kuo heard this, he looked at Bai Feng beside him in shock and shame.I saw Bai Feng shrugging, looking helpless.

"Could it be that Brother Bai already found out?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Uh..." Bai Feng hesitated: "I see that Brother Zhao is so enthusiastic, I don't feel embarrassed to pour a pan of cold water..."

When the three of them were playing with each other, they had already walked to the council building where the Miao people usually deal with large and small affairs.Zhao Kuo and Bai Feng complained to the head of the Miao people about the cause and consequences of the Qing Dynasty, saying that they originally had a token, but it was discarded by Ling Ai.After hearing this, Ajuan's mother was very angry, and she called herself neglectful to discipline Ajuan on weekdays, and said that she could send a token as compensation.However, things didn't go as smoothly as they seemed.

"Zhao Gongzi, Bai Gongzi. Don't you want to stay here for a few more days?" asked the leader of the Miao people.

Zhao Kuo replied respectfully: "Although this place is very good, but we are so busy with business, it is really inconvenient to stay for a while."

"Ajuan just told me that she likes you very much, and I hope you can stay with her for a few more days."

"Ah?!" Zhao Kuo was caught off guard, looked at Ajuan who was standing beside his mother, and hesitantly replied: "This...this is..."

"I also thought about it seriously. The Seven Towns Rebellion ten years ago created a group of heroes. And Zhao Gongzi is a famous family in the Seven Towns. If he can marry our Miao people, that would be great! "

"Please forgive me for not being able to make a decision!" Zhao Kuoyi replied righteously: "Marriage is the order of the parents, and the matchmaker's words. Let's go back to Yuyi to discuss this matter first!"

"Haha." Ajuan's mother sneered: "You Han people have many ideas. If you never come back, won't my Ajuan suffer from this lovesickness?"

"Brother Zhao, I think this matter can be considered! You two are so in tune with each other..." Bai Feng advised him, but halfway through his words, Zhao Kuo's roar was interrupted.

"Presumptuous! Marriage is a major event, how can you allow you to play like this!"

Several people present were shocked, and the Miao guards outside the door directly came in and held Zhao Kuo with long spears, and Bai Feng's sword was also ready to go.

Ajuan's mother waved her hand to let the guards back, and threatened Zhao Kuo: "Well, you Zhao Kuo, how dare you be so rude! In my Miao's place, whether you can leave or not depends on what I mean. Woolen cloth!"

Ajuan asked in horror: "Mother! You don't have to embarrass Young Master Zhao like this, it's just Ajuan's wishful thinking..."

"You said that the outside world is chaotic and chaotic, which place can compare to the peace and tranquility here?" The Miao leader said bitterly: "I will give you a few days to think about it. If you are willing to stay here and marry Ajuan, I will. Take your friends out of this Qianfengling!"

Zhao Kuo replied expressionlessly: "Thank you, Miss Ajuan, and the patriarch. Farewell!"

Bai Feng then followed in Zhao Kuo's footsteps, and Ajuan, who had mixed feelings in her heart, didn't know why Zhao Kuo was still so close to her just now, and after hearing that she liked him, she was so furious.Her mother comforted her by the side, but she kept thinking about the Iraqi in her heart.
