The moonlight outlines the old man's staggering steps, which are incompatible with his sharp axe. There is a stubborn beard on his chin, stretching forward, as if he has an unyielding character throughout his life. The smile dilutes the toughness of his body.
This is a kind old man.
It's like getting lost in this wilderness.
Yu Wuluo stared at him with all her strength, ran out in big strides, and supported Ruan Chenggong's arm: "Grandpa, didn't you say you won't follow me anymore?
...
Grandfather and grandson met in Guangyang City. Yu Cun was busy during the day and talked to his granddaughter when he came back late at night. Yu Wuluo picked out the important and indispensable things to say about Lei Wuchen. Grandfather and grandson couldn't stop laughing.
When Yu Cun mentioned Ruan Chenggong, Yu Wuluo felt even more deeply about her grandfather's worries about her. She also mentioned at the right time that she had to go out to divert troubles from the world and at the same time do some things for her grandfather.
At that time, he said: "I can do it with Miao Bao. After the battle in Qingyun Town, I became more confident in my own skills and understood the bad methods of Jianghu. Please let Grandpa Ruan rest for a few days and go home. If he goes out to protect me,
I have to distract myself from saving him, and I can’t shoulder this responsibility."
Yu Cun said yes.
...
"It's Xiao Yu, haha, why did you end up on the same road as me?" Ruan Chenggong asked calmly, taking a preemptive strike and looking up at the night sky. Lei Feng thought it was someone Yu Wuluo recognized.
Sign the eagle to fly away.
Ruan Chenggong said: "This is your eagle, its eyes are so bright."
Lei Fengqi couldn't laugh or cry. If he broke up with Xiaoyu again, it wouldn't be surprising if the eagle followed her.
He didn't believe that this old man, who seemed to be full of experience, couldn't see that Ying and Xiao Yu were still strangers.
"It's my eagle, but grandfather, you haven't answered me yet, why are you following me again?"
After the incident in Qingyun Town, Ningjiang Hou and his son told Yu Wuluo that there was such a person who should kill people for her. Yu Wuluo felt that it was unnecessary, she could take care of herself.
Looking at Ruan Chenggong's old face, she waited for his answer with a persistent expression.
Ruan Chenggong still looked surprised: "Where did you start saying this? How did you start saying this? You can't just say it casually just because you are young."
He was even more insistent: "Haha, Xiao Yu, I want to ask you, why are you following me?"
Yu Wuluo looked at the grandfather's flawless concealment and pouted.
Seeing the situation, Ruan Chenggong calmly said: "I won't ask you, and you won't ask me, okay?"
"Okay." Yu Wuluo thought, can I say no? Otherwise, what good will I gain by confronting you until dawn?
She said in greeting: "Have you had dinner?" She couldn't see that Ruan Chenggong had any other luggage, unlike herself, who had big and small bags plus horses and cars.
"Here, this one smells good and can still be left." Ruan Chenggong shook his sleeves and took out a cake in a show off.
The moonlight illuminates the lines on the cake, making people clearly feel its hardness.
Yu Wuluo sighed secretly: "Please come with me, I will make soup for you."
"That's good, Xiao Yu. I heard that Lao Yu said that you have learned cooking skills." Ruan Chenggong said this, thinking that there was another person next to him, taking a look at Lei Fengqi, and effortlessly rounded off his words: "That's it.
By the way, men who want to go out should know how to cook. Don't imitate Lao Yu. Back then, he and I traveled far and wide and boasted about how to cook, but ended up wasting a large piece of meat and cooking it into black charcoal."
Yu Wuluo became lively from being moved by him: "Then tell me, tell me more about my grandfather's past."
"Old things? I can't talk about it. I'm good at telling old Yu's embarrassing stories. Haha, he was chased by several women. I remember the details."
Ruan Chenggong followed Yu Wuluo's arrangements, sat down by the campfire, and said with a smile.
Hongxia and others had woken up and took out the kitchen utensils and the vegetables and meat they had brought with them. Yu Wuluo rolled up his sleeves, took the kitchen knife and said with a smile: "Knives, the wet nurse said they are all good at it."
So her cooking skills are not bad. Tie's daughter said that kitchen knives are also knives. When girls are tired from studying and practicing, it is good to play with kitchen knives.
"Dang, dang, dang..." Yu Wuluo made a loud sound while chopping vegetables, and no one who heard the sound would doubt it.
Lei Fengqi felt hungry, so he made a bowl of tea for Ruan Chenggong, and sat with him to wait.
The two men, one old and one young, looked eagerly at Yu Wuluo as he put the food into the pot. The oil splashed and made a slurping sound, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Yu Wuluo cooked two dishes. One was to stew the meat. Add more water and shorten the cooking time. The other was to stew the meat without the heat, just add the right seasonings, and then just wait.
The other one is soup.
No one disagrees with the nourishing role of soup in cuisine.
Ruan Chenggong is still single and does not carry kitchen utensils when he goes out. He is full of expectations for a safe and delicious meal. He casually tells a few Yu Cun jokes and stares at the bonfire while the meal is being served.
Lei Fengqi continued to greet him, but sometimes he didn't seem to hear him. Lei Fengqi simply didn't greet him and just stared at the bonfire serving food.
Gaoshan jumped up and asked, "What are you secretly eating?" He also sat aside and stared at the bonfire.
Facing three greedy faces, Zhao Tinggong thought about the importance of being gregarious and became the fourth person to sit over.
When Yu Wuluo said that the food was good, she raised her head and couldn't help but smile. Four people sat in a row, each holding an empty plate and bowl in their hands, with chopsticks and spoons ready, and they looked over neatly.
If she remembered correctly, everyone was always tired from running around for a day, so they had brought enough food and drink, and no one would eat less to gain strength for tomorrow.
The sky was as dark as ink. This was the darkest moment before dawn, and Yu Wuluo found a reason. It was not far from dawn, so everyone should have breakfast in advance.
A woman put down the low table, and Yu Wuluo and Hongxia brought the food over. Looking at the four people fighting over each other, Yu Wuluo Yanran said: "Go and wash the vegetables, let's just eat breakfast."
Next to the scented campfire, the sounds of chewing and chopping vegetables intertwined, and the big shopkeeper stretched his head and neck as he returned to the treetops.
Can he go down and eat?
He only ate dry biscuits when he was on the road, and he was once proud of the smell of dry biscuits and the quality of his teeth.
There was soft and fragrant soup and overcooked braised meat below, but the boss didn't recognize him... The big shopkeeper stayed on the tree, smelling the fragrance, silently drinking water from the water bag and nibbling dry biscuits.
Lei Fengqi was quite surprised. He knew that girls from aristocratic families must learn cooking skills, but he did not expect that Xiao Yu's cooking was quite delicious.
This reminded him of his three sisters. Lei Yiwen was good at killing enemies, Lei Erwen was good at killing enemies, and Lei Sanwen was good at killing enemies. None of them looked like girls.
Worry came from the bottom of my heart. According to the itinerary mentioned in the letter from my father, my sisters and my fifth brother were on their way to the Yuchi Duke's Mansion. If he arrived early, he could intercept them one step ahead and take them to another place.
Find a suitable place to live first.
Even with Yu Chijun's company, one cannot ignore the fact that the Duke's office has been unwilling to agree to the marriage with Lei Yiwen in the past few years.
The county lords in the old border city of Guiziguan are far inferior to the wealth and military power of the luxurious families in the interior. The Duke of Yuchi’s Palace looks down upon the Prince of Zhaoyong. It is not a secret in front of the Lei Fengqi brothers. They have already learned from Yuchi Jun’s cautious words.
Figure it out.
For the sake of Lei Yiwen's life, the four brothers also thought of many ways to drive Wei Chijun away. Not only did they not want to offend the Tanggu County Prince, but they also had to show off to others.
As a result, we can see from this grandson that he has the background of an inland family. No matter how he behaves or is smart, he is no worse than the four brothers. He always saves danger and makes the four brothers unable to find an excuse to expel him.
He had no choice but to accept him in the end.
The friendship on the battlefield became like brothers after returning home safely. This is the current relationship between the Lei brothers and Yuchi Jun. However, it is still a fact that Lei Yiwen is not accepted by the government.
His father sent a letter stating that he secretly allowed Lei Yiwen and others to "leave home secretly". Lei Fengqi would not accuse his father, but he still did not want to see Lei Yiwen being accused face to face by the government.
Fortunately, fifth brother Yu also learned how to ride a fast horse, and his daily schedule was not slow... Really, it's no wonder that the husband's family doesn't accept girls who don't know how to cook, right?
Lei Feng returned to the food in his hands and took a look at Yu Wuluo, who was still busy cooking the second pot for the pot-bellied men by the campfire. It was obvious that the two of them only had the same relationship as "Yu Wu Lei Qi", but he felt relieved.
Become proud.
Brothers Xiao Yu are invincible in their sword skills.
Her cooking skills are also... She is my brother, so of course she is invincible.
So delicious.
"Brother, I want to share more in the next pot." Gao Shan shouted.
Lei Fengqi also said: "I put less in this pot, and the next pot belongs to me."
Ruan Chenggong said angrily: "Young people, don't fight with the old people."
Zhao Tinggong said cleverly: "Then what's left of you belongs to me."
Gao Shan scorned: "The pot is in my hands, is there anything left?"
Zhao Tinggong laughed happily, Lei Fengqi laughed happily, and Ruan Chenggong laughed happily.
On the treetop, the big shopkeeper was chewing dry biscuits and complaining silently, "Is this okay for you? There is another person here."
After cooking four meals, twilight appeared on the horizon. The group ate, fetched water, washed, extinguished the campfire, messed up the traces of the camp, and returned to the official road to prepare for the road.
Yu Wuluo looked into Ruan Chenggong's kind eyes: "Grandpa, you promised me that you would go home right now."
"Of course, I was wronged. I met you on the way home, Xiaoyu, and you suspected that I was wrong." Ruan Chenggong laughed.
Yu Wuluo nodded matter-of-factly: "That's it, let's leave now. I'm telling you that if I meet you again, I will take out a small amount of money and send you to the escort agency to escort you home."
She grimaced: "I don't have much money."
He raised his hand and handed a heavy small bag to Ruan Chenggong: "I'll give these to my grandfather, please don't waste them on the detour."
Ruan Chenggong was not polite to her, and took it into his arms: "Xiao Yu, you are very good at making a fortune. You can easily find the hidden household warehouses. There is no real chaos in the world today. In fact, the loss of great order has already caused chaos.
If you find it, it's yours. I won't be polite to you. If you find another warehouse, you'll get rich again."
Yu Wuluo couldn't help but laugh, and the emotions in her heart came out one after another. It was not a lie that Grandfather Ruan followed him all the way, otherwise how would he know that he had found a household warehouse.
"Goodbye grandpa."
"Let's hit the road, Xiao Yu. If you keep nagging a few words, I'll beat up your old Yu." Ruan Chenggong grinned, waved his hand, and walked in the opposite direction confidently.
He knew that Yu Wu was watching from behind and walked away without looking back.
Yu Wu stayed on the spot for a quarter of an hour, remembering the old man's staggering back in his heart, lamenting that the friendship between his grandfathers back then was better than that of Jin Jian, and said to Lei Fengqi and the others who were waiting together: "Let's go."
After the horse and cart galloped away, Ruan Chenggong shouted and a horse ran out of the woods. He saddled the horse and muttered: "It's still as good as before. I can catch up with Lao Yu's horse with my legs and feet. It's old."
, don’t be brave, just ride a horse.”
He muttered to Yu Wuluo again: "This little Yu is such a lovely child. If I had known that my granddaughter was so lovable, I should have given birth to a son, waited for my son to marry a wife, and gave birth to a granddaughter to play with..."
.”
At this point, a chill came up, Ruan Chenggong woke up, and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, if you marry the wrong wife, you will have a quarrel. I make money and she supports other people's families. My son may not be my own, let alone my granddaughter. She is still young.
Yu, the granddaughter, can do nothing wrong if she loves her."
He remained silent and followed Yu Wuluo with his horse.
A horse came up from behind and passed by him. The boss on the horse looked at him and pretended not to see it without saying a word.
The big shopkeeper takes the first step
For a senior like Ruan Chenggong, he should stay away from him.
Jishan Hall recruits experts, and after careful observation, it invited Ruan Chenggong. Ruan Chenggong also stayed there for a few days, but he loved freedom and found that Jishan Hall's terms and conditions were more ruthless than those of the imperial court.
Being a corrupt official in the imperial court is not necessarily a death penalty. Ji Shantang is usually strict with himself, and even more so when something goes wrong.
Ruan Chenggong pretended to have done a few small bad things, and people with higher status than him came to question him, took the opportunity to quarrel, and left.
When Jishantang found out that Ruan Chenggong had been wronged and tried to apologize to him, Ruan Chenggong played hide and seek with them for several years. When you were in the east, he was in the west. He even lived in Qixiang Lake for a while, forcing Lei Wuchen to help.
Well, anyone who knows Lei Wuchen knows that he does things without rules and is a model of arrogance and domineering.
After Lei Wuchen agreed to come forward, Jishantang never looked for Ruan Chenggong again. Even after meeting him, Jishantang hid and Ruan Chenggong cheered. It is understandable that Jishantang was very happy with this situation.
Not happy.
The big shopkeeper saw Ruan Chenggong today, but he didn't see him. Goodbye and never see him again.
To say we will never see each other again is an exaggeration.
Ruan Chenggong followed Yu Wuluo, as did the big shopkeeper.
Ruan Chenggong had seen the big shopkeeper help Xiao Yu out of the way, and the big shopkeeper had also seen Ruan Chenggong do this. The two of them knew each other tacitly, and they both knew that the other one was here for Yu Wu, and he had no ill intentions. The more realistic scenario for everyone is
Pretend not to see.
The big shopkeeper, Da Ma, went alone.
Ruan Chenggong was not far behind.
...
The retreat from Guangyang City was still proceeding in an orderly manner. In order to protect Yu Cun's safety, the Marquis of Siping and others agreed that in addition to the Marquis of Ningjiang and the Marquis of Xuchang who would retreat first, the Marquis of Siping would wait for Yu Cun to return together, and the Marquis of Taiping would also withdraw at that time.
.
Marquis Pingjiang burned his house and city, and stationed his troops in Guangyang City until the new emperor ascended the throne, and then rebuilt the city for him.
Lei Fengchen sat high up and watched the number of people outside Guangyang City increasing day by day and the number of military camps becoming fewer and fewer day by day. He came up with no interest and told the boy: "It's not busy here anymore, let's go home."
Lei Wuchen frowned as he didn't bring his family and country into chaos to make him happy.

I'll see you tomorrow. I'll just write in the evening and it's tomorrow. I hope I won't be stuck tonight.
