Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 918 Familiar Strangers
This map is fairly professionally drawn, at least on the surface.

Mountains are mountains, water is water, mountains and valleys are clearly marked, and there are some small notes that are obviously written by later generations.

For example, if some road sections are crossed, it means that this road is no longer feasible.

For example, if a certain road has [water storage] in the remark, it means that the road is very long and there are few places to replenish water on the road.

Of course, this is a professional suggestion for large caravans, and all they need is the correct route, with bagpipes and wind treasures, food and safety are not a problem.

After spending 5 silver coins to get a fairly satisfactory map, Xia Feng's pace became more relaxed.

Next, he just needs to find the carriage heading for Xichuan.

This is Dongzhou ruled by the Sakura Takeshi family, there are carriages to Xichuan, but very few, but they don't have to arrive at Xichuan.

For them, as long as it's a carriage heading west, it's fine, at least faster than legs.

As the capital of the entire Dongzhou, the nightlife must be relatively rich. It is already very late, but the night market is still lively.

"Grilled squid, charred and tender grilled squid, come and try it!"

"Lantern, don't you want to buy a big red lantern!"

"Sugar Man, Sugar Blower!"

There are endless cries from various stalls, and the goods and food are very Dongguo characteristics.

Walking in the bustling night market street, passing by people in plain clothes, Xia Feng felt as if his heart had really merged into this kind of city life atmosphere.

Yes, he wants to be an ordinary person, no, he is an ordinary person now.

While Xia Feng was immersed in his thoughts of ease and comfort, suddenly, a stall selling paper pinwheels attracted his attention.

Without stopping, he looked sideways.

Because of distraction, in the next second, his shoulder collided slightly with someone who brushed against him.

"Boom!"

Because there was still an internal injury in his chest, when he was walking, his muscles were completely relaxed. This collision directly knocked him into a stagger, and he almost fell down.

Obviously, the person who hit him was very muscular, and judging from the inadvertent force, he was also a martial artist.

"Ouch!"

Seeing that Xia Feng took two steps back after being touched, the man immediately reached out and pressed his shoulder to stabilize him.

"Sorry, it's okay."

Seeing that this person was very polite, Xia Feng replied indifferently after standing still.

"Hi, it's okay, I'm sorry for being distracted by walking."

However, when he continued to lift the brim of his coir raincoat to see the face of the person who bumped into him, his heart tensed subconsciously.

The tall and straight figure, sharp eyes, handsome facial features, and the pendant engraved with the cherry blossom pattern on the waist all showed the identity of this person.

Xia Feng was very familiar with this person. Not long ago, they were called brothers, and his name was Ying Wuyun.

The inner reaction lasted less than half a second, and at the same time, his expression was not affected by emotion in the slightest, and he didn't even lower the brim of his raised coir raincoat.

The next moment, Xia Feng grinned with a foolish smile.

"My young master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you are a big shot, you are really offended, please don't blame me, a countryman."

Ying Wuyun was never a condescending person, let go of Xia Feng's shoulders, his voice was very easy-going.

"Obviously I bumped into you, so why bother to blame, as long as everyone is fine."

Xia Feng bowed slightly.

"This young master is really generous, so I will take my leave."

This is Dongzhou. Although Ying Wuyun is wearing plain clothes, anyone who is not a fool can recognize the pendant. It is an ornament that only members of the Ying Wu family can wear.

Facing the young master of the Yingwu family, Xia Feng's slightly humble attitude is also reasonable.

However, at the moment when Xia Feng slapped his cuffs and brushed against Ying Wuyun again, he was stopped.

"Wait a moment."

Xia Feng stopped walking when he heard the sound, and said with sideways eyes.

"Is there anything else, master?"

Ying Wuyun's eyes were very deep.

"Have we met somewhere?"

"Oh, it's impossible. If you are a young master like you, I will definitely have an impression if I have seen it. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I have come to Dongzhou Prefecture, haha."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Li Si."

The surrounding downtown is still noisy, but in the ears of Xia Feng and Ying Wuyun, the air seems to have fallen into dead silence.

Ying Wuyun stared at Xia Feng's half-exposed face under his coir raincoat for 5 seconds.

Finally, Xia Feng's voice broke the silence first.

"Master, do you have anything else to do? I have also invited friends to gather."

"It's okay, you can go."

"Thank you."

Just when Xia Feng turned around again and walked out less than two meters away.

"Shh!"

The samurai sword at Ying Wuyun's waist was unsheathed in an instant, and pierced Xia Feng's back like lightning.

The blade reflected the cold light and looked extremely sharp. With Ying Wuyun's strength, it was enough to pierce even armor.

The air froze at this moment, and the flow of time seemed to become extremely slow.

The distance between the blade and Xia Feng is shortened minute by minute, 50cm, 20cm, 10cm, 5cm
Until the distance was less than 1 centimeter, Xia Feng still maintained his forward posture without any reaction.

"Ding!"

The long knife that was firmly held gave a warning, and when the blade was almost attached to the clothes behind Xia Feng, Ying Wuyun stopped.

Ying Wuyun's attainments in swordsmanship are also exceptionally talented, and he can be regarded as a leader of the younger generation of the Ying Wu family.

His slash just now was extremely fast, attacking from behind unexpectedly, even most generals would not be able to react in time.

However, Ying Wuyun is very clear about one thing.

If it was "Zhang San", he would definitely be able to perceive this fatal knife. Even if he was seriously injured, martial arts practitioners are naturally sensitive and would react subconsciously.

This is the instinct of a warrior.

Facing his knife whose authenticity far exceeded the scope of temptation, the person with his back turned did not react at all, not even breathing disorderly.

Was his instinct wrong this time?

"Ah, it's a paper pinwheel, Brother Yun, hurry up and buy it for me!"

Yingwu Qianye's voice came from behind.

However, it wasn't until Sister Qianye ran to Ying Wuyun's side and tugged his arm with her hand that his gaze turned away from the direction of someone's back who had disappeared into the crowd.

Seeing Ying Wuyun's expression, Qianye was a little puzzled.

"Brother Yun, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

"Is it someone you know? Where is it? Where is it? Introduce me, hee hee."

Yingwu Qianye followed the direction Yingwuyun was looking at just now, and glanced at it exaggeratedly.

Ying Wuyun exhaled heavily, and then smiled at Sister Qianye.

"It's nothing, just a person who admits his mistake."

"Haha, Brother Yun is really confused."

"Oh, what do you want to buy?"

"Buy a pinwheel!"

"it is good."

Xia Feng's footsteps didn't stop at all, in Ying Wuyun's eyes, it seemed that this person didn't realize that someone was trying to stab him behind his back.

He just turned his back to Ying Wuyun, walking away with light steps.

After going far, far away, until the endless stream of people completely submerged each other's figures, Xia Feng stopped in his tracks.

The skirt of the chest was completely soaked.

"Ah."

The chuckle was relieved, and he was right.

Of course, this was just his wishful thinking and subjective judgment at the time.

Until someday some years later.

When Xia Feng was basking in the sun on a mysterious uninhabited island, he accidentally recalled the past in Dongguo.

After experiencing a life unimaginable by ordinary people, he at that time made a slightly different judgment from his "young" self at that time.

Is Ying Wuyun really "mentally retarded"?

The answer is unknown.

Whether the man who once called him "third brother" recognized him, he didn't know.

Maybe didn't recognize it.

Maybe he has recognized it, but he didn't reveal it on purpose.
