Chapter 20 Xiaoxiang Night Lake
The group traveled all the way south, with Yunfeng riding on his horse, looking at the magnificent mountains and clear rivers around him, feeling in a good mood. After chatting with everyone in the escort agency, they learned that the North and South Escort Agency was quite famous and had an excellent reputation.
That bearded man was Zeng Wanqi, the founder and chief bodyguard of the North and South Escort Bureau. He was famous for his unique skill of Baguazhang and was a first-class master in the world. He once eliminated harm for the people, chased tigers for thousands of miles, and finally killed the tigers in his hands after a desperate struggle.
Next. Everyone on the rivers and lakes respects his hero, saying that he has traveled thousands of miles alone and is a benevolent and righteous hero Zeng Qiye.
In the secular world, ordinary chivalrous people cannot be called heroes. Great chivalrous people are brave and loyal, and serve the country and the people. All heroes recognized by the people in the world are extremely loyal people.
The strongest man in the escort agency is his brother. Zeng Wanjiu, the general manager of the escort agency, is also quite famous in the world. Because of his immense strength and superb swordsmanship, he is known as the Lijiu Crazy Sword.
The other escort chiefs are also well-known figures in the world. This area was originally a place where robbers and thieves were frequented, but today's journey was extremely smooth. It seems that everyone from all walks of life gave the North and South Escort Bureau a bit of a thumbs-down.
Yunfeng also learned a lot of anecdotes about the world from people's mouths. Shui Ling'er seemed to be quite interested and would interject a few questions from time to time. Until this moment, Yunfeng truly recognized these people in his heart. They were indeed chivalrous people with a warm heart.
As everyone was chatting away, the sky was getting dark. The originally green mountain forests were gradually turning yellow, and the ground was gradually changing from gray-black to earthy red. They should have entered the territory of Fire Fox Mountain.
It was rumored that monsters had appeared in Fire Fox Mountain recently. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, everyone decided to find an open place with water to camp on the spot and wait until dawn before setting off. They would arrive at Fire Fox Town at noon.
Everyone in the escort agency has been traveling all year round, so they are very skilled at setting up camps and making fires. In less than an hour, each tent has been set up. There are also spikes and fences around to prevent wild beasts from invading. To be cautious, several deeper tents have been dug around the perimeter.
The traps were filled with sharpened bamboos. In addition, bonfires were set up throughout the barracks. These bonfires were used to keep warm and cook, and to ward off ferocious beasts.
It was a little cool in Huohu Mountain at night, and the roars of beasts could be heard in the distance. Everyone sat around the bonfire in the center, eating hare that was roasted to a crisp and exuded an alluring aroma.
Yunfeng, who had never drank before, was overwhelmed by the hospitality and drank a few glasses of strong wine, making him a little tipsy. Even Shui Ling'er drank a few glasses of fruit wine under repeated invitations, and her pretty face turned red.
The relationship between the two and everyone in the escort agency has also become closer. Master Zeng Qi also gave the best tent in the escort agency where he and Master Zeng Jiu lived to the two of Yunfeng. This group of generous and hospitable men from all walks of life, it seems that they are like
They are like older brothers.
Everyone chatted until late at night. Except for some bodyguards who were patrolling at night, everyone else had gone to sleep. Shui Ling'er didn't know when he went to the lake alone.
The night at the foot of the mountain is quiet and ethereal. The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and stars are dotted in the calm night sky. The clear lake water reflects the shadows of the trees, and the breeze blows, and the layers of water ripple away. Shui Ling'er sat with her legs wrapped around her arms.
By the lake, I lowered my head and looked at the lake quietly, wondering what I was thinking.
Yunfeng walked to Shui Ling'er and sat down next to her. He smelled her faint body fragrance, looked at her long eyelashes with a sad look in her eyes, and felt a sudden pain in his heart for no reason. What did he want to say?
After all, he still didn't open his mouth.
After a long time, Shui Ling'er gradually raised her head, turned to look at Yun Feng, and said gently: "Senior Brother Yun, do you think there are really immortals in this world?"
Yunfeng looked at Shui Ling'er's delicate face and was a little crazy for a moment. After a while, he slowly answered: "There should be immortals. Otherwise, why would the head master and master seek immortals and practice Taoism?"
When Shui Ling'er saw Yunfeng looking at her infatuatedly, she was not angry, but her face turned redder, and she said to herself: "Is it really that good to pursue immortality and become an immortal? In fact, I just want to live quietly.
, with the company of my family and the people I like by my side." As he spoke, he buried his head in his legs again.
Yunfeng hesitated for a long time, but finally responded softly: "My family died when I was four years old. Junior sister, how are your family members?"
After hearing Yunfeng's words, Shui Ling'er's body trembled violently. After a long time, she said in a trembling voice: "They are all dead too." After saying that, she buried her head deeper.
Vaguely, Yunfeng seemed to see crystal tears flowing from the corners of her eyes. Seeing Shui Ling'er's thin shoulders shaking, he knew that she must be extremely sad at this moment. Yunfeng wanted to reach out and pat her gently.
He comforted his back, but his outstretched hand stayed in mid-air for a long time and still did not put it down.
