Two days later.
Tang Doudou came to the foot of Mengyei Mountain.
Looking at Mengyei Mountain where the top of the mountain could not be seen in the misty rain, she was confused and couldn't even see the way up the mountain. Just like her way forward this time, she couldn't see or guess.
The inn at the foot of the mountain was deserted and idle. Tang Doudou tied his horse outside the dilapidated inn and walked up Mengyei Mountain.
Recalling the path Mu Ye took her before, she soon came to the bamboo forest. The peach blossoms were still the same, the tombs were still the same, and everything was still the same as before.
Tang Doudou frowned. The calmness here made him a little surprised. What on earth is going on
Thinking about it, I walked towards the bamboo house.
Sure enough, Mu Ye was no longer here. After searching the entire bamboo house, the big box containing the whirling flowers was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that something changed that forced Mu Ye to take the box away
Nanman'er didn't find Mu Ye when he came to Mengyei Mountain, so why didn't he go back to Fengqing City to tell her
What about the sea of clouds? Why did he come to Mengyei Mountain with her
Even as she thought about it, she was still confused and didn't even know what to do next. She smiled a little self-deprecatingly. Maybe Yunhai was just playing a joke on her, treating her like a monkey and letting her run away in vain. It’s just a trip to Dream Mountain.
wrong!
But just when she was still smiling, her expression suddenly changed. Yunhai came to amuse her after eating too much!
He was clearly using a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
This is going to be bad!
Thinking of this possibility, Tang Doudou could not sit still and went straight to the foot of the mountain, but the tied horse disappeared.
"It's over, it's too late!" Tang Doudou held his forehead and jumped anxiously. After flying for a while in the direction of Fengqing City, he suddenly stopped.
It is definitely too late to rush to Fengqing City now, and maybe Yunhai will fall into Yunhai's trap.
She glanced in the opposite direction, which was the direction of Huaicheng.
With a determined look in his eyes, he headed towards Huaicheng.
It was too late to go anyway, so it was better to go back to Huaicheng to discuss countermeasures with Jun Xin. With more people and strength, it would be difficult for her to deal with Yunhai on her own, and Huaicheng had to go back!
But her trip this time was not very peaceful. First, she was almost spotted by the man in black robe, and then she passed by Elder Yu. However, he looked not in good spirits, so he must be from the alliance leader's house. Being occupied by Bai Feiyun gave him a headache.
When I arrived at the gate of Huai City without any danger, I found that the gate of the city was already occupied by people from all walks of life. Everyone who entered the city was checked with their hands on their face, everywhere on their body, even the girls who had not left the palace. survived.
After seeing this scene from a distance, Tang Doudou still dared to step forward rashly.
After staying by the tree in the distance for a while, I decided to wait until night to see the situation again.
It's a pity that her bamboo flute was given to Nanman'er, otherwise it would be great if she played the flute to draw your heart out! Well, she forgot that she couldn't play the flute, and even if she could, Jun Xin might not be able to hear it, and if he heard it, he might not know it was her!
Therefore, Tang Doudou was completely sad.
Looking at the teams that were constantly patrolling within ten miles of Huaicheng, they were even more shocked. They even wondered whether Yunhai's purpose was to force her to come to Huaicheng.
After resting for a while, Tang Doudou turned around and found a ruined temple outside the city to rest.
When she arrived at the ruined temple, she felt a little pain in her stomach. It must have been caused by the force of those few mouthfuls of energy in order to rush on the road. She covered her stomach and walked into the ruined temple. There were naked bodies everywhere, so she had to pull off the Buddha statue. He put a red cloth on the straw and sat down cross-legged.
Nanman'er taught her a few mental formulas, asking her to perform Qigong exercises when she had abdominal pain, which could calm the pain.
She immediately used that mental method to circulate her internal energy, and as expected, she felt that her abdominal pain was much better. She immediately calmed down and prepared to sneak into Huaicheng at night.
The rain was still falling outside the ruined temple, and the sound of patter was heard continuously. The sky was gradually getting dark. Tang Doudou, who had turned from meditating to sleeping at some point, turned over in a daze, suddenly sat up as if he remembered something, and looked outside. In the dark sky, I patted my head and almost forgot about the business again.
Ah sneeze!
It's tragic that I got cold at this time, I hope it won't delay anything.
Just as he was about to walk out, there was a rush of footsteps outside the ruined temple.
Tang Doudou put his hands on his hips and looked around helplessly in the ruined temple for a week before ducking behind the Buddha statue. As soon as he entered, the sound of footsteps could already be heard in the temple.
"I told you to hurry up but you didn't listen. It's fine now. I can only stay in this ruined temple for one night!" The irritable voice came, and Tang Doudou, who was hiding behind the Buddha statue, rolled his eyes. It was really fate that he had met him. I fell in love with this guy Xiao Yi.
Judging from the footsteps and Xiao Yi's words, there should be another person traveling with him. If she guessed correctly, it must be Xiao Siyuan.
Sure enough, after Xiao Yi finished speaking, Xiao Siyuan's helpless and gentle voice sounded: "That mother-in-law is old. If we don't send her back, something will happen under the heavy rain."
"No matter what you say, you are right!" Xiao Yi said angrily, "I'm going to light a fire. You can change your clothes!"
Tang Doudou leaned out a little and nodded, only to see Xiao Siyuan smiling casually, saying nothing, reaching out to take off his coat and wringing out the water, and looked around the ruined temple carefully, but he couldn't see anything because it was pitch black. Come.
Xiao Yi over there had already broken off the dry firewood and threw it together. He picked up a handful of straw, lit it with a fire stick, and threw it on the dry firewood.
Although this dilapidated temple is leaking from all sides, the roof is not leaking. These dry firewood have been used in the dilapidated temple for many years, and they have long been damaged.
When the warm fire light came on, Xiao Siyuan rubbed his hands, picked up a bamboo pole and put the wet clothes on it, "Ayi, take off your clothes too!"
It was clearly a kind word, but Xiao Yi's face suddenly darkened, "Don't take it off."
Xiao Siyuan was helpless, "I will catch a cold."
"Hey, I'm not a girl, how can I be so squeamish!" Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously. He sat down by the fire, took off a kettle from his waist, opened it and took a big sip, "It's great!"
Xiao Siyuan stared at his wine bottle and frowned, "Why are you drinking again?"
"Warm yourself up, do you want some?" Xiao Yi smiled and raised the kettle in Xiao Siyuan's hand.
Xiao Siyuan refused directly: "The 382nd rule of the Xiao family is to prohibit alcohol."
Xiao Yi approached Xiao Siyuan narrowly, "The 599th rule of the Xiao family is that if you fail to report what you know, the crime will be increased! You often see me drinking, why don't you go to the elders to complain?"
Xiao Siyuan stiffened and was about to say something when suddenly a clear sneeze sounded in the temple!
The two people's eyes suddenly condensed, they looked at each other, and at the same time they stood up and moved towards the Buddha statue.
Tang Doudou tightly covered her mouth behind the Buddha statue and rolled her eyes. It was really not good to sneeze at any time, but it happened at this time. Wouldn't it cost her her life
Originally, she planned to wait for Xiao Yi and Xiao Siyuan to go to bed before leaving quietly. Although Xiao Siyuan was easy to talk to, Xiao Yi had a bad temper. Especially after the incident last time, he must have hated her for a long time. The four ruined temples There was no one else, and if Xiao got angry after meeting her and attacked her, looking at Xiao Siyuan's appearance, he might not be able to stop him.
Seeing the two people getting closer, Tang Doudou was so anxious that he stepped back. The wall was already cold and there was nowhere to hide.
"Who is there?" Xiao Yi and Xiao Siyuan stopped one meter away from the Buddha statue at the same time, and Xiao Yi shouted in a deep voice.
Tang Doudou let go of his mouth, thought for a moment, and then timidly poked his head out from behind the Buddha statue, "It's me."
In fact, more than a month later, Xiao Yi's carefree personality had already forgotten who the aunt in front of him was, "Who are you? Why are you hiding behind the Buddha statue?"
Xiao Siyuan's eyes flashed, and he remembered who Tang Doudou was, but he did not reveal it, but stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Yi, "This aunt should be taking shelter here from the rain. Don't be so fierce, you scare the old man."
Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "She would hide behind the Buddha statue to hide from the rain. I think she clearly wants to commit suicide!"
Tang Doudou hurriedly retorted: "No, no, I heard someone coming. I was afraid that it was a robber, so I hid behind the Buddha statue. If you don't believe it, you can look over there. I paved it. Originally, I was there. Rest there."
Xiao Yi didn't move, but he glanced at where she was pointing, and saw that there were signs of sleeping there. The vigilance in his eyes was mostly reduced, but not completely gone.
"I'm just saying that this aunt is not a bad person." Xiao Siyuan smiled and walked towards the Buddha statue, "I heard my aunt coughing just now. It seems that she has caught a cold. If you don't mind, aunt, come over and warm up with us!"
Xiao Yi glared, "No!"
"Ayi, you forgot the rules again!"
"If it doesn't work, it won't work. I don't want to sit with a smelly old woman."
"Ayi!"
"There is no need to discuss it. If you think what I did is wrong, just go back to the elders and file a complaint against me!"
Xiao Siyuan was helpless and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tang Doudou, "Thank you for your kindness. I have already rested, but I didn't expect that if I overslept and don't rush back after dark, my family will be worried."
"Auntie is from Huaicheng?"
Tang Doudou nodded and said, "My mother's family is from Huaicheng, and I came back this time to visit relatives."
From Xiao Siyuan's words, Tang Doudou knew that he recognized her identity, and the meaning of this sentence was also clear.
It's also testing.
After hearing what she said, Xiao Siyuan pondered for a moment and then looked at the sky outside, "Auntie, I'm afraid it's not safe to go back to the city at this time, so why don't I send you off?"
"You're crazy! I just asked you to rush to the city quickly, and you told me a lot of nonsense. Now for an old woman with unknown origins..."
"Ayi, you don't let Auntie warm herself by the fire, and you don't allow me to send Auntie home. If anything happens to Auntie, how can you make me feel at ease!"
"Okay, you are a good guy and I am a bad guy, let's get it!" Xiao Yi heard a bit of sullenness in Xiao Siyuan's words, and immediately became unhappy. He said mockingly and sat down on the fire, "You If you want to give it away, give it away, do whatever you want, it’s none of my business!”
Xiao Yi's words made Xiao Siyuan look very unhappy. He was not arguing with Xiao Yi, but said to Tang Doudou in harmony: "Auntie, let's go, I'll see you off."
Tang Doudou wanted to postpone it, but his eyes moved and he followed Xiao Siyuan out of the ruined temple.
Xiao Yi, who was beside the fire, looked at the two people leaving, kicked the fire hard, and cursed in a low voice: "You want to die, go to hell! I don't care about you! I don't care about you!"
A good fire was kicked everywhere by him, and the bright light in the temple also dimmed a lot.
He clearly said he didn't care, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He stomped on the flames in front of him completely and stomped hard. Xiao Yi said angrily: "Xiao Siyuan, I owe you!"
At this time, the rain outside has become lighter, and it hits my face in a steady patter, which is a bit cool. Dark clouds are rolling in the night sky above my head, and there is no sign of dissipating. It is expected that it will rain again tomorrow.
Tang Doudou and Xiao Siyuan walked on the path one after another. There were a few birds whose appearance could not be seen sadly parked on the dead branches on the roadside.
"Auntie, why isn't uncle with you?" After being silent all the way, Xiao Siyuan suddenly turned around and asked.
