Jiaohua

Chapter 1217 Heard in the Temple
Thunderstorms come and go.

Half an hour later, the heavy rain stopped, but their boat was also damaged by lightning.

Going south on foot, it takes two hours to walk by land, and with Guo Yunzhe, who is full of energy, the difficulty of the journey increases tenfold.

Since his hair was all clumped together, like a rag that had been thrown at the bottom of the box for years without washing, Xia Zhaoyi ordered the two servants of the Fang family to shave it off and grow it back again.

The lice-infested eyebrows and the rest of the hair on his body were also shaved off. Guo Yunzhe, now hairless, is a white pill.

Because of the torrential rain, the mountains were cold and damp, and when the wind blows, Guo Yunzhe, who was bareheaded, murmured and ran several times to lift up the hem of the servants of the Fang family in front of him, about to get in.

Seeing this, Xia Zhaoyi wove grass and trees as he walked. After a while, a thick woven straw hat was woven and worn on Guo Yunzhe's bald forehead. It was a bit funny, but it barely kept out the cold.

When they were approaching Junnei Township, there was another heavy rain, and they happened to meet an earthen temple, so they went in to take shelter from the rain.

The earth temple is very large, dedicated to a local immortal in Hengxiang. It is said that she is in charge of the tide of Qingjiang River and protects the water and soil of Hengxiang.

Many people came to hide from the rain, and some people took out some dry food to eat because they were hungry.

Because he didn't want the food that Shen Lie brought along the way to be wasted, Xia Zhaoyi insisted on going back to the pond to pack it. The two bags were combined into one, and Shen Lie took it away first.

But when he was on the boat, Guo Yunzhe had already eaten it all by himself.

The sky was getting darker and darker, Shen Lie stood outside the side door of the earth temple, looking at the heavy rain with black eyes, not knowing when to stop.

Although the rain was howling and the wind was howling, the nearby villagers were still able to send the fragrance from the smoke.

Xia Zhaoyi went to stand with him for a while, the rain drifted into the eaves, the coolness was comfortable, and it could relieve their fatigue.

Voices gradually came from behind, Xia Zhaoyi's ears moved slightly, and he turned his head slightly.

Shen Lie was also attracted.

The area of ​​Junnei Township has been controlled by soldiers and horses, and it was Shen Lie who sent it out, but there is basically no restriction on freedom.

These villagers are chatting about a person who has gone somewhere.

"If you ask me, this matter must have been done by those soldiers. They pretended to be benevolent and righteous on the surface, but they couldn't do anything behind their backs!"

"How is this possible? Dao Laowu has no money, no power, and no good looks. What are those soldiers doing against him?"

"That's right, if those soldiers and horses really want to target Dao Laowu, they can just target him directly. They are covering the sky with one hand now, why are they covering it up?"

A villager suddenly lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, in fact, none of you have noticed that the most bizarre thing is the master of the fifth swordsman!"

"He still has a master?"

"You're not from Anhezhuang, of course you don't know," another villager said, "It's his master, but I don't know if it's an servant or something. I heard Dao Laowu call him master!"

"Hey, is this a dog calling master or a slave calling master?" one person laughed.

"Don't interrupt! Tell me, why do you say that person is weird? Isn't he very nice?"

"Yeah, looking kind and kind."

The villager's expression became more and more mysterious, and he said: "Don't think that he looks good at people, but in fact, they are all fake. People send him things during festivals. Have you seen him send things out? And ah , He seems to have accepted the things that others gave him, and threw them away behind his back."

"Throw it away?" One person was surprised.

"That's not true. My old uncle and I have picked it up several times. Those things are all good, and he threw them away without even tearing them apart. Sometimes it's the fifth knife who throws them away, and this fifth knife is also the same. Honestly, I didn’t secretly take it home by myself.”

"But what you said is too strange. If you don't want it, just don't accept it. Why accept it again?"

"That's right."

"Why don't I say he's weird," the villager continued, "I passed by his yard one more time, and he was chopping meat. He cut the meat into strips, and his knife skill is really good. As a result, he suddenly He sneezed, the knife was slightly crooked, and he actually didn’t want the crooked meat and threw it away. It’s so big, let’s say half a catty less!”

The villagers raised their hands and gestured.

Others didn't believe it, and many people said he talked nonsense.

"Believe it or not, he is a weirdo anyway. By the way, this time Dao Laowu is gone. We went to his house to find him. His house is clean and everything is in order. Moreover, he is also gone." !"

"The two of them disappeared together?"

"Yes, the two of you disappeared together." Speaking of this, the villager seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly said, "That's right, there is one more thing."

He took out his hand: "Master Dao Lao Wu's hand is at least this much longer than mine!"

"Hey! I can testify to this," another villager interjected, "I've seen his hands, they are really so long! But it looks strange, but his hands are beautiful, and they don't look like doing farm work at all. "

"Yes, the skin on his hands is really good. My wife and mother are not as good-looking as his hands."

When the rest of the people heard this, they were all interested.

Shen Lie looked sideways at the girl beside him, and said, "It should be Feng Qingang."

His voice was very flat, as if it was going to be blown by the wind.

Xia Zhaoyi kept looking at the heavy rain outside the eaves, and slightly bent his lips when he heard this: "Yes."

Shen Lie's lips parted slightly. Seeing her like this, he opened his mouth, and finally fell silent.

When it was almost Haishi, the heavy rain finally stopped.

The villagers cursed and cursed, and left one by one.

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie didn't stay any longer, they stepped out of the Tutu Temple and went to Sanbai Shandong Ridge where the Perilla Dyeing Workshop is located.

Wang Fengnian and others were still waiting under the greenhouse.

Everyone's attention has been on the high mountain of Sanbai Mountain. Someone was the first to see the person coming from the southwest direction, and was surprised: "Director, look, it's the big boss!"

Wang Fengnian brought people down to welcome him: "Big boss!"

"General!"

"Second miss!"

All of a sudden, five 60 people came crashing down.

Guo Yunzhe was frightened, his emotions suddenly became agitated, and he ran back.

Shen Lie was about to chase after him, Xia Zhaoyi grabbed his hand and said, "Shen Lie."

After falling to the ground, Guo Yunzhe got up again, stumbled and ran around, muttering even more incomprehensible words.

But soon, he was captured by Xia Jiajun, Yan Jun, and Wang Fengnian's subordinates.

"You are very tired, you don't need to waste your energy on him anymore." Xia Zhaoyi said to Shen Lie in a very soft voice.

Shen Lie lowered his eyelids and looked at her quietly: "It's okay."

"Go and rest first," Xia Zhaoyi smiled at him, "We will eat together later, and I still owe you... a dumpling."

When she mentioned this dumpling, Shen Lie couldn't help but smile.

Along the way, his brows and eyes never showed the slightest tiredness, and he was always cold and proud, like an iceberg standing on the horizon, silent and meaningful, without knowing the age.

Because of her words, the iceberg seemed to melt in an instant, and his sharp and deep face became soft, like the wind of the autumn moon in the evening.

"Okay." Shen Lie said.
