Hu Xiaotian was surprised when he heard that Yan Kui was back. He also came to the window and looked out, only to see a team of about a hundred people slowly entering from the village gate. At the front of the team was a burly man with red hair and a beard.
Man, this person is obviously Yan Kui, the bandit leader of Tianlang Mountain.
Although Hu Xiaotian has never met Yan Kui, he has dealt with Yan Kui's brother Yan Tianlu on Mangjiao Island. It seems that Yan Kui's appearance is actually younger than Yan Tianlu. Yan Tianlu is already over sixty years old. This Yan Kui
Since he is his brother, he must be close to seventy years old, but he looks like a strong man in his forties. As a horse bandit leader, he is really well maintained.
Several children who were playing by the stream happily ran towards Yan Kui. Yan Kui spread his arms and picked up one of them. It seemed that the children in the village were not afraid of him. Yan Kui was quite friendly.
Hu Xiaotian accidentally glanced at Yan Nujiao, but found that her pretty face had lost all color, and she was obviously in panic.
Hu Xiaotian reached out to put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her. Yan Nujiao trembled with fright and hurriedly ran away. She whispered: "You must remember that you must not reveal your identities."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but frowned: "What?" Yan Nujiao's words made him very puzzled.
Yan Nujiao said: "I have never mentioned our affairs to my father. He is very wary of outsiders. You must remember not to reveal your identity. He hates you very much because of what happened to my second brother."
Hu Xiaotian asked: "Don't your second brother know me?" Even if he wanted to conceal his identity, he probably couldn't. It's not like Yan Boguang didn't know him, and he didn't rule out the possibility that others might recognize him.
Yan Nujiao said: "Anyway, just don't say anything. I will deal with my father first. If there is nothing special, you two should try not to show up."
Hu Xiaotian secretly laughed in his heart, Yan Nujiao was actually afraid of becoming like this, but it seemed that Yan Kui was not that scary. Maybe she was worried that their affair would offend Yan Kui, but since she told her like this, she still obeyed her.
Opinions as well.
Yan Nujiao had already left the stilted building and walked toward her father. Her smile was as bright as a flower, and her pretty face was as bright as the morning sun: "Dad! Why are you back?"
Yan Kui put the two children down and said with a smile on his face: "I will come back after finishing my business, Nujiao, I heard that you went hunting in the mountains last night?"
Yan Nujiao smiled and said: "A pack of wolves attacked a passing merchant, and I led my brothers to rescue them."
"Wolves?" Yan Kui frowned and said, "How come there are so many wolves in Heiliang Mountain? This is unusual!"
Yan Nujiao hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Dad, you are tired. Go and rest quickly." Then he smiled at the middle-aged scribe behind him and said: "Uncle Qin, didn't you say you wouldn't come back until the end of the month? Why did you arrive so suddenly?
?”
The middle-aged scribe was Qin Boyan, Yan Kui's chief think tank. Qin Boyan smiled and said: "The matter was resolved smoothly, so I came back early. I was originally going to go back to Tianlang Mountain directly, but the village leader said that he has not been to Lanxi Village for a long time.
, so I came over to take a look, and I didn’t expect that the lady was there. By the way, when did the lady come back from Hongmu River?"
"I just came back not long ago." Yan Nujiao looked at the team and saw a few unfamiliar faces. Yan Kui remembered something and pointed to a handsome young man behind him and said: "By the way, I forgot to give it to you.
Introducing, this is the young hero who has just joined our village, his name is Ma Xinsheng, Xinsheng! This is my daughter Nujiao."
Ma Xinsheng cupped his fists and saluted Yan Nujiao, saying respectfully: "Xinsheng has met Miss!"
Yan Kui said: "You young people are very familiar with each other. This is the first time for the new student to come to Lanxi Village. He is so cute. Take him around to see him."
Yan Nujiao hummed, but felt a little reluctant in her heart.
Hu Xiaotian came to the stilted building where Long Xiyue was and saw that she was still sleeping soundly, so he stood aside quietly. Since Yan Nujiao did not allow her to meet her father, she must have her reasons. Originally, Hu Xiaotian did not talk to Yan Kui.
Although we planned to meet head-on, we avoided a lot of trouble this time by choosing to avoid it.
Long Xiyue slept until noon and then woke up leisurely. She saw Hu Xiaotian sitting in front of the window reading, watching her quietly. Two blushes appeared on her pretty face, and she said softly: "Why did I sleep for so long?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I also want to sleep with you, but I'm afraid you'll wake up and blame me for taking advantage of you."
Long Xiyue knew that he was used to talking nonsense, so she came to him with gentle steps, put her hands on his shoulders, and said softly: "You didn't go to chat with Nu Jiao?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Her father is here."
Long Xiyue blinked her bright eyes: "Should we go and visit?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "She seems to be very afraid of her father, like a mouse seeing a cat, so we must not expose our identity."
Long Xiyue said: "In this case, we should follow her wishes and avoid unnecessary trouble."
At this time, a black Miao girl knocked on the door and walked in. She came here specially to deliver food on Yan Nujiao's order.
Hu Xiaotian asked her about the whereabouts of Yan Nujiao, but the black Miao girl was very tight-lipped and didn't know what to ask. Hu Xiaotian guessed that Long Xiyue must be unable to get away, and the only solution now was to wait, Yan Kui couldn't be here.
If he stays for a long time, even if he stays for a few more days, they can still leave if they find the opportunity, but they still have to wait for Yan Nujiao's arrangements.
After lunch, Hu Xiaotian took the time to visit Xia Changming and others. Xia Changming was recovering well. Hu Xiaotian specifically told them that they should try not to appear in public, let alone expose their identities, and wait until Yan Nujiao comes back before deciding where to go.
It wasn't until dusk that Yan Nujiao came back. After entering the door, she said, "Take some time to clean up. I'll send you away right now."
Hu Xiaotian was relieved when he heard that he could finally leave the village, and said softly: "Where is your father?"
Yan Nujiao said: "We are hosting a banquet for the newly joined brothers at the Renyi Hall. He can't get away at the moment."
Hu Xiaotian nodded. He and Long Xiyue picked up their luggage, called Xia Changming and others, and walked outside the village gate.
Yan Nujiao stopped when she reached the stone bridge across the creek, and said softly: "I can only send it here, sister Xiyue, please take care of yourself!"
Long Xiyue nodded, lightly nudged Hu Xiaotian with her elbow, and signaled him to go over and say goodbye to Yan Nujiao, while she, Xia Changming and others went downstairs to wait.
Hu Xiaotian smiled at Yan Nujiao and said, "Why don't you come with me?"
Yan Nujiao bit her lips, but her eye circles were a little red, and she whispered: "We are not the same person after all."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I have long regarded you as one of my family members in my heart and have never seen you outside."
Yan Nujiao pursed her lips, suppressed the sorrow in her heart and forced out a smile: "Let's go quickly, treat the princess well, we may have a chance to meet you someday."
Hu Xiaotian looked at her and felt a pang of guilt in his heart. After all, he still owed her. He opened his mouth to say a few words to comfort her. Yan Nujiao shook his head and said: "Don't say anything, I understand, from the bottom of my heart
We all understand, please leave quickly."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, thinking to himself that no matter how many love words he said to her now, no matter how many promises he gave her, they were just empty words. He would definitely come to her in the future. Yan Nujiao was already his woman, and he couldn't let her wait and grudge.
Live a life.
He turned around and was about to cross the stone bridge when he heard a steady voice behind him: "Miss! Where are the guests going at this late hour?"
Yan Nu's delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly wiped the tears from her face. Hu Xiaotian slowly turned around, only to see a middle-aged scribe walking over with a smile, and behind him was a warrior. The middle-aged scribe was
It is Qin Boyan, the chief think tank of Tianlang Mountain.
Hu Xiaotian met Qin Boyan for the first time and didn't know who he was, but Yan Nujiao secretly complained. Although Qin Boyan was only the fourth leader in Tianlang Mountain, he was deeply supported in the village and his prestige was second only to his father.
, even his father relied heavily on him. Qin Boyan was extremely intelligent, and Tianlang Mountain was able to stand undefeated on the border of Xichuan for decades precisely because of his advice.
Yan Nujiao pretended to be calm and said: "Uncle Qin, they are the merchants who were attacked by wolves. They have to leave because of something urgent."
Qin Boyan smiled and said: "Haste makes waste. It's almost dusk now. I'm afraid it will be dark when we leave Lanxi Village. The wild mountains and ridges outside are infested with wild beasts. If we are attacked by wolves again, I'm afraid this young master will not be able to survive."
Such good luck, why don't you stay one more night and send someone to escort you out tomorrow morning? I wonder what this young master wants?" He looked at Hu Xiaotian quietly with his deep eyes.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "This gentleman is being polite. It's not that we don't want to stay, but because there is something urgent at home and we must rush back as soon as possible."
Qin Boyan said: "Qin did not pass by here by chance, but on the order of the village master, he invited several guests to have a drink together at Renyi Hall."
Yan Nujiao wanted to say something else, but she saw that the gate of Lanxi Village had slowly closed. Qin Boyan had obviously made arrangements.
Seeing such a scene, Hu Xiaotian couldn't force him to leave. Although he had a premonition that there might be trouble, but the matter was at this point, he could only accept the situation and act according to the circumstances. What's more, he didn't want Yan Nujiao to be caught in the middle, so he smiled and said
: "Since the leader of the village is so kind, I would rather obey his orders than respect him."
Qin Boyan chuckled and said: "This young master seems to be a cheerful person at first glance. I haven't even asked him his name yet."
Before Hu Xiaotian could speak, Yan Nujiao had already taken the lead in answering: "He is Mr. Wu Neng and Wu!"
Hu Xiaozhen just wants to cry but doesn’t have any tears. Don’t be so obvious about hurting others. Incompetent? Where am I incompetent? It’s not like you haven’t experienced firsthand how powerful your ability is.
Qin Boyan smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Wu, I am Qin Boyan."
Long Xiyue and others also turned back, and Hu Xiaotian made an excuse to go back and put down their luggage before going to Renyi Hall. Qin Boyan did not force them to go there right away, but just said that the banquet would start in half an hour and asked them to try not to be late.
