Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 296 Meeting Relatives (Part [-])

Li Wenxuan covered his heart, and nodded solemnly to Yue Ying, as if making some guarantee.

Yue Ying was also very relieved, carefully looking at the location of each plum blossom tree, and pulling Li Wenxuan back and forth through the forest, Li Wenxuan was afraid that he would get separated from Yue Ying, so he followed closely behind.

Yue Ying kept chanting words, like a great fairy who practiced magic, and like a pedant who did numerology. Li Wenxuan thought it was funny to see Yue Ying's serious look, but he didn't dare to disturb her. God miscalculated the steps, and the two were trapped in the woods and couldn't get out, that would be bad.

The two walked through the plum grove for less than a stick of incense, and Yue Ying suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "Wenxuan, we're here!"

"Are you there?" Li Wenxuan was surrounded by plum blossom trees, and he didn't see the small lake at all, and those cozy cabins seemed to have gotten into a small cage, so how could he get there?

Yue Ying smiled and said, "What? Don't you believe me? Push aside the branches over there and have a look."

Following the direction Yue Ying pointed at, Li Wenxuan pushed aside a few slanted branches, and saw a few plum blossoms intertwined, with the shadows of the branches intertwined. Through those feelings, he could vaguely see the ripples of a small lake in front of him. A narrow old pontoon bridge is swayed by the sparkling water waves. At the other end of the pontoon bridge is a small island in the middle of the lake. On it are the familiar wooden houses. The light yellow and warm candlelight shines out from the wooden houses. , under the reflection of the candlelight, there was a slightly thin figure falling on the yellow window paper.

Looking at the figure, Li Wenxuan's heart felt hot, and his eyes became a little wet.

Seeing it, Yue Ying gently put her hands on Li Wenxuan's shoulders, and just stood quietly by him, neither talking nor urging him.

There was a light in Li Wenxuan's eyes, but he was very hesitant, took a deep breath, pulled Yue Ying and said, "Okay, Yingying, let's go over."

Yue Ying nodded, and went to the floating bridge with Li Wenxuan, Yue Ying was about to step up, but Li Wenxuan grabbed her and said: "Be careful, this floating bridge is very light, it cannot support the weight of a person. "

Yue Ying asked: "Then what is this bridge used for?"

Li Wenxuan said with a smile: "Under the wooden boards of this pontoon bridge, there are wooden stakes in some places, and it's fine to step on them. There are also some places without wooden stakes, and the bottom is empty, only the lake water. If you step on the wrong place, you will be killed immediately." Overboard."

"Oh." Yue Ying agreed, then took back her steps, stared at the pontoon bridge, and said: "This is a bit strange, what a noble status is Mrs. Wang, who lives away from the hustle and bustle of the villa. It is already very strange to be in such a remote place, but the layers of plum forests around here, and this mysterious pontoon bridge, all seem to be facing a great enemy, which is very strange."

Li Wenxuan said: "I also find it strange, but when I came here last time, I didn't know who the person I saw was so difficult to ask. May I ask you clearly?"

"En!" Yue Ying nodded.

Li Wenxuan said again: "I don't remember where the wooden piles under this bridge were placed, come on, come here, I'd better carry you over there!"

Li Wenxuan didn't wait for Yue Ying to agree, he swung his left arm to the side, put Yueying in his arms, and Yue Ying gently pushed him, as if he hadn't pushed.Li Wenxuan tapped his feet and jumped forward. Halfway through, his strength failed, and he tapped lightly on the pontoon bridge, and he was about to fall to the opposite bank.

"Srust——"

This place was originally very quiet, but suddenly there were two very sharp winds through the night, shooting at Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan was in a bad mood, knowing that someone had shot a hidden weapon at him, and hearing that the hidden weapon was not weak in the wind, it was most likely by his own grandmother.

Li Wenxuan was surprised and delighted, and wanted to block with his sword, but felt that it would be too disrespectful for him to show his sword as soon as he got to the elder's place, so he held the scabbard, listened to the voice, and pointed to where the voice came from , only heard two crisp sounds: "Bang—bang—" After that, something fell to the ground, and at the same time Li Wenxuan also crossed the pontoon bridge, putting Yue Ying aside.

Yue Ying also saw all this in her eyes, and whispered to Li Wenxuan: "Call your grandma quickly, you are like human beings, otherwise your grandma will treat you as a bad person and will still beat you."

Li Wenxuan nodded. He knew that Yue Ying didn't need to remind him of this section, but Li Wenxuan opened his mouth. He had never called out the word "grandma" to anyone in his life. The mouth turned out to be squeaky and unable to speak.

Yue Ying was wondering what Li Wenxuan was doing, and wanted to ask him, but saw the candlelight flickering in the wooden house, followed by two hidden weapons flying out of the window, one aimed at Li Wenxuan, and the other shot at Li Wenxuan. It was flying towards Yue Ying.

Yue Ying lowered her head to hide, but she didn't expect the hidden weapon to be too fierce, and she was already in front of her when she turned around. Yue Ying immediately let out a cry of surprise, and Li Wenxuan was also startled. It was so heavy, he hurriedly put the scabbard of the Qingshuang Sword in front of him, and at the same time grabbed Yue Ying with his left hand.

There was another "bang" sound on the scabbard of the Qingshuang Sword, followed by a pain in the palm of Li Wenxuan's left hand, and he finally caught both hidden weapons.

Li Wenxuan spread his palms, and it turned out that the thing he played from the room was not a hidden weapon, but a Go piece. Looking at his left hand, there was a round red mark on the center of the palm by the piece.

At this moment, someone in the room spoke, and it sounded like the voice of an elderly person. It has been more than half a year since Li Wenxuan came here last time, but he still recognized this voice. It was his grandmother. The room said: "You are so brave, who asked you to come here to play wild?"

Li Wenxuan was extremely excited, opened his mouth and said, "I...I..."

Li Wenxuan wanted to say "I am Wenxuan", but he was too nervous and couldn't say it. Seeing this, Wang Wan'er said again: "Okay! Don't say it? Let's see if you can take my tricks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow of the candle in the room flickered again, and the figure on the window paper swayed slightly, obviously caused by the sleeves of the people in the room fluttering. Li Wenxuan knew that his grandmother was about to make another move, so he hurriedly sent Yue Ying to the house. With a push from the side, he said, "Hide carefully!"

Yue Ying also found it strange. She didn't know why Li Wenxuan lingered and didn't reveal his identity. She thought he had other intentions, so she didn't say much, and this old lady was really good at playing chess pieces. It would only distract Li Wenxuan, so he stooped obediently and hid behind a big rock by the small lake to see what Li Wenxuan was going to do.

As soon as Yue Ying hid, Li Wenxuan felt several gusts of wind blowing in front of him. He didn't dare to neglect, but he didn't dare to draw out his sword either. He only used the scabbard to block in front of him, and immediately three more chess pieces fell down.

"Okay!" Seeing Li Wenxuan's precise answer, the old man in the room couldn't help but praise him.

Li Wenxuan was already a lot closer to the wooden house at this time, and clearly saw the candlelight flickering in the wooden house, and then four cold stars staggered back and forth and greeted him.

Li Wenxuan was very anxious at this time, feeling that it was disrespectful to fight against his grandmother like this, but the more anxious he was, his mouth seemed to be pinched by pliers, and he couldn't utter a word, and Wang Wan'er's chess pieces It's also one more than one, and Li Wenxuan has no time to shout, so he can only do it first and then talk.

These four chess pieces all came towards Li Wenxuan's chest, but the four chess pieces were inconsistent, so Li Wenxuan planned to block them one by one, but when Li Wenxuan raised his sword to move the first chess piece, he felt something in his heart. It was tight. It turned out that these four chess pieces seemed to come one by one, but in fact they were not. The three behind chess pieces came faster and stronger than the last one. When Li Wenxuan was in front of him, the three behind chess pieces The four chess pieces that had already caught up with the first chess piece arrived almost at the same time.

Li Wenxuan knew that he would never be able to knock down these four at the same time with one sword, and he never thought that his grandmother was old, but her skill was still so good, he really admired it.

In desperation, Li Wenxuan didn't move his feet, and suddenly floated backwards, and the four chess pieces chased Li Wenxuan like a cannonball.

At first, Li Wenxuan shot three swords in a row and knocked down the first three pieces, but the fourth piece was also the most powerful among them. When Li Wenxuan shot down the three pieces, this one was less than a foot away from his chest. It is absolutely too late to turn back the sword to block it.In desperation, Li Wenxuan knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply didn't retreat, and simply stood still, concentrating all his strength on his left shoulder, and took the chess piece abruptly.

Li Wenxuan's left shoulder was in pain, he staggered two steps back, and then sat down on the ground again, the chess piece was owed to Li Wenxuan's shirt, Li Wenxuan waved the chess piece down, and rubbed his shoulder again, although The pain was severe, but fortunately, the muscles and bones were not injured, and he said it was dangerous, thinking that if it was not a chess piece, if it was a real hidden weapon, he would have confessed here in a daze today.

Yue Ying was also very frightened when she saw this, Li Wenxuan saw it, and quickly made a face at her, Yue Ying was relieved, knowing that Li Wenxuan was not in the way.

At this moment, the door of the wooden house was opened, and Li Wenxuan's heart was pounding. Afraid that there would be hidden weapons coming, Yue Ying poked out half of her head from behind the big rock to look at the door of the wooden house.

It was not the old lady who came out, but a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. The little girl walked towards Li Wenxuan with a sword in her hand and said, "Tell me to see what kind of thief is so bold, how dare Come to the old lady to play wild!"

When Li Wenxuan saw this little girl, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew this little girl, she was none other than Xiaoru, his grandmother's personal maid. The last time Li Wenxuan sneaked into Pinjian Villa, she was sent out by Xiaoru .

It was dark, Xiaoru was in the light, and Li Wenxuan was in the dark. Xiaoru couldn't see who Li Wenxuan was, so she walked to a place two feet away from Li Wenxuan with her sword and stopped, stopped, and asked again: "Who is it! Look up!"

Li Wenxuan raised his head, but it was dark here, Xiaoru still didn't know Qiao.

Li Wenxuan thought to himself: "Judging from the tone of this little girl's voice, it seems that she has a good temper. Anyway, as long as she recognizes me, everything will be easy to talk about."

Li Wenxuan said slowly, "Xiaoru, it's me."

When Xiao Ru heard the dark figure in front of her call out her name, she let out a "huh" at first, obviously very surprised, and then scolded: "Who the hell are you!"

Li Wenxuan had already stood up at this time, walked forward slowly, and said: "It was me, Li Wenxuan, you hit my palm with a cane, and I made you cry later, don't you remember?"

Xiaoru yelled "Yeah", couldn't help but took two steps forward, and vaguely saw the face of the person in front of him. Although he was more weathered and haggard than before, it was clear that he had come here more than half a year ago Li Wenxuan here.

With her chest rising and falling, Xiaoru said tremblingly, "You are really Li...no...young master..."

Li Wenxuan nodded slowly, and said, "That's right, it's me."

Xiao Ru took another step forward, as if she wanted to say something, but quickly took a few steps back, turned around and ran towards the wooden house, shouting as she ran, "Ma'am, Master Li... Master Wenxuan is back!"

Li Wenxuan stared blankly at the wooden house. Seeing the situation, Yue Ying also came out from behind the boulder and stood next to Li Wenxuan.

After a while, the old voice in the room said slowly: "Wenxuan... child, is it really you?"

Li Wenxuan lowered his head, took two steps forward, then knelt down towards the shadow on the window, and said, "Wenxuan is not filial, Wenxuan didn't listen to your old man, Wenxuan is back..."

The voice in the room did not respond, Li Wenxuan knelt down and did not raise his head, Yue Ying watched quietly from behind, although she usually had a lot of thoughts, but looking at the scene at this time, she didn't know what to say. .

After about a cup of tea, Wang Wan'er finally spoke slowly, and said: "Okay, okay, your kung fu is much better now, and the Qingshuang sword has not been unsheathed, so you took my many chess pieces, your mother is in the spirit of the sky. If you know it, you should be gratified."

Li Wenxuan kowtowed three more times, and said: "Wenxuan was supposed to show his identity like grandma...grandmother for the first time, but I was too happy and nervous to speak, so I had no choice but to Fight back, otherwise Wenxuan would never dare to fight your old man."

"Don't dare? Why don't you dare?" Wang Wan'er sighed again, and said, "I just saw that you are very good at martial arts, so I feel relieved for you. Xiaoru brought some news about you before, and I know you are in Putian. Settle down, but why don't you listen to me, didn't I tell you not to go back to Pinjian Villa, now, why are you doing this?"

Yue Ying originally thought that when Wang Wan'er saw her own grandson, the two of them would hug each other and cry, and then Wang Wan'er would feel sorry for Li Wenxuan, and finally she would take the opportunity to get closer. There was no one in the room, and one was kneeling outside. It was extremely awkward to ask her to stand behind Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan said again: "Wenxuan... Wenxuan didn't want to live in such a muddle with a bad reputation for the rest of his life, so he devoted himself to finding out the truth about the murder of Master Situ, the owner of Pinjian Villa... so he had to boldly disobey you If the old man said, come here again."

"Oh, it's all wrong... Oh, child, listen to me, now you leave Pinjian Villa, fly away from here, and never come back. You have never seen me, and I don't know you. You and this pin Jianshanzhuang...has nothing to do with it at all."

Li Wenxuan never expected that when he visited Pinjian Villa at night, his grandmother would not even let him in. He knelt outside for a long time, but what he heard was such words. Li Wenxuan felt uncomfortable and said boldly: "I...I Can I come in and see you?"

Wang Wan'er said slowly: "You go, I'm tired, I won't see anyone..."

Li Wenxuan wanted to say more, only to hear Wang Wan'er say again: "Xiao Ru, send this... off!"

"Ma'am, you..." Xiao Ru called out in the room, her voice was very sour, but Wang Wan'er was unmoved, and said again: "Seeing off the guests!"

Xiaoru had no choice but to back out, went to Li Wenxuan to give a blessing, and said, "Li... you can go."

Li Wenxuan's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he knelt there motionless.

Xiaoru looked at Li Wenxuan, her eyes turned red at some point, and seeing that Li Wenxuan had no intention of leaving, she turned her head to look at Yue Ying behind her, bowed slightly to Yue Ying, and said, "Girl, you should persuade me Well, since Ma'am said she didn't see her, it's not okay to kneel down like this outside."

Yue Ying also felt sorry for Li Wenxuan, and she heard Wang Wan'er's tone of voice was very firm, but she didn't know the reason for this, and she had no way to help Li Wenxuan, so she also planned to persuade Li Wenxuan to leave first.

Yue Ying also bowed to Xiaoru, then bent over Li Wenxuan, and whispered: "Wenxuan, kneeling like this is not an option, it just makes the old man feel sad, why don't we leave first, and then we can discuss long-term plans." it is good?"

Li Wenxuan still didn't move, Yue Ying sighed, followed Li Wenxuan and knelt down beside him.

Seeing this, Li Wenxuan asked, "Yingying, get up quickly, what are you doing?"

Yue Ying said: "If you want to kneel here, I will accompany you!"

Li Wenxuan said again: "You... get up quickly!"

Yue Ying didn't speak, but just knelt there in a daze.

Seeing Yue Ying like this, Xiaoru was looking at the expressions of the two of them, knowing that their relationship must be extraordinary, she wanted to persuade her again, but she held back her words.

Li Wenxuan let out a long sigh, kowtowed his head three more times, and said, "Grandma, it doesn't matter if I'm from Pinjian Villa. My mother died young, and my father was murdered by an adulterer. Wenxuan is the only one in the world. You are the only family member left. Wenxuan dare not complain if you see or not see Wenxuan today. No matter what, you are Wenxuan’s grandmother. Wenxuan will come to see you when you get here, grandma... Take care, Wenxuan will go first..."
