Bai Yunfei, the person who persuaded others, suddenly became even more depressed than the person being persuaded. Tang Xinyun couldn't help but be stunned. For a moment, there was a brief silence on the roof.
"Mr. Bai, your mother..." After a while, Tang Xinyun whispered.
"My mother passed away when I was very young. When I was nine years old, my grandfather who depended on me also passed away. I made a living by moving rice in a rice shop..." Bai Yunfei was lost for a while. , had recovered at this time. Seeing the puzzled expression on the other party's face, he smiled faintly and continued, "Later, I had some adventures, and I was as strong as I am now."
"My mother once said that I hope that one day, I can be like the white clouds in the sky, flying freely under the clear sky." Bai Yunfei looked up at the dark night sky, as if he could see through the endless darkness. Seeing the clouds in the sky clearly, "Now that I have the strength, I left the small place where I grew up and traveled freely, in order to make my life meaningful and to fulfill my mother's expectations for me..."
"Well, I believe you can do it. You are strong and upright, and you will definitely be able to carve out a space for you on the mainland in the future." Tang Xinyun nodded and said with a smile.
"Well..." Bai Yunfei responded, but suddenly he was stunned, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Well... it seems that I wanted to come to comfort you. How did it become like this?"
Seeing his slightly embarrassed look, Tang Xinyun couldn't help but laugh softly. He seemed to be much better. Although Bai Yunfei was a little confused, he felt that his efforts were not in vain, so he couldn't help but laugh too.
The atmosphere on the rooftop seemed to have become a little subtle inexplicably.
"Miss Tang, you..."
"Ahem!!"
Bai Yunfei thought for a while and thought he could ask the other party where he was going when he went out this time. However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cough from behind. He was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look helplessly. Aunt Zhao has appeared in the corner of the roof.
Bai Yunfei was a little speechless, thinking to himself, Auntie, can't you continue to stay in the shadow? Why did you suddenly disrupt the atmosphere of the scene by speaking out as if you were caught by the wind and caught a cold...
When Aunt Zhao spoke out, Bai Yunfei felt that there seemed to be two weak sighs of regret coming from a certain room at his feet... There was a faint black line sliding down Bai Yunfei's forehead...
"Miss, it's time to go back and rest. We will set off on our journey tomorrow." Aunt Zhao glanced at Bai Yunfei lightly, and then said to Tang Xinyun.
"Well, okay." Tang Xinyun responded without any particular reaction, then nodded slightly to Bai Yunfei, stood up, and prepared to go back to the room with Aunt Zhao.
"Miss Tang, are you really not with us? Anyway, we are going in the same direction, so we can take care of you all the way." Bai Yunfei thought for a while, then asked.
"No, we still have important things to do. If we are not in the mood to travel around, we won't go with Mr. Bai." Before Tang Xinyun could answer, Aunt Zhao directly refused. She was determined not to let her young lady After staying with these people, Tang Xinyun seemed to have changed a lot since meeting these people. Although she couldn't say that these changes were necessarily bad, she always felt that if she stayed with these people, trouble and danger would definitely come again. , she didn't want Tang Xinyun to be in any danger, she just hoped that she could reach the destination of her trip safely.
Seeing Tang Xinyun and Aunt Zhao disappear on the roof, Bai Yunfei shook his head helplessly. He stood on the roof in a daze for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Then he went downstairs and returned to his room...
…
The next day, not long after breakfast, Aunt Zhao found a carriage in the city, then said goodbye to everyone, and left Guyi City directly with Tang Xinyun and headed north.
Bai Yunfei and the other two spent a day shopping in the city, buying a lot of things, and then left the city on the morning of the third day and headed towards Gaoyi City.
As for Xiaohu and his grandma, they returned to Yanlin City with Huang Wan and the others.
… …
After setting off from Guyicheng, Bai Yunfei and the three of them felt relaxed. They walked and stopped all the way, sometimes fast and sometimes slowly, passing through various small towns one by one. Tianming and Jing Mingfeng were still inseparable together all day long. The relationship was so good that it was indescribable. Bai Yunfei was even surprised to find that Jing Mingfeng actually passed on the "Disguise" to Tianming.
Naturally, he also taught Tian Ming the ability to trick people. The first few times Tian Ming wanted to do experiments on Bai Yunfei, he was caught on the spot and given a lesson. After that, he changed the target wisely, so that every time Every time I arrive at a place, the local gangsters, dandies and the like are always stolen inexplicably, while the poor people suddenly find that there is an extra bag of coins around them...
They enjoyed this behavior of "stealing the rich and giving to the poor". Although Bai Yunfei was worried that something would happen to the two of them, they were not reckless. Jing Mingfeng was also quite measured, so he didn't bother to care about it, but he occasionally complained about Jing Mingfeng. Tianming's teaching was ruined by Feng, and the dignified soul master actually started stealing.
Every time Bai Yunfei asked Jing Mingfeng why he was so keen on stealing, Jing Mingfeng always said with embarrassment: "Actually, being an elegant thief is just my deputy job."
His explanation is that he never hurts others when stealing, and if he gets something that he does not need and is important to the owner, he will responsibly send it back, so he is an 'elegant thief' - as for What his 'official job' is, he has never said.
Three days later, Bai Yunfei made a very difficult decision - to agree to Jing Mingfeng and Tianming's suggestions and take a shortcut across a forest.
In fact, according to his idea, there is no need to do this, because he is not in a hurry and it is the same to take the official road. However, Jing Mingfeng and Tianming don't think so. Ever since they heard about this place in the last town, After a soul beast appeared in the forest, the two of them wanted to see what happened with their eyes shining brightly.
The fact that Tang Xinyun got the Swift Shadow Bird as a soul beast partner had a great impact on the two of them, especially Jing Mingfeng, who swore that if there really was a high-level wind soul beast in this forest, he would make it his own. Soul beast companion.
After that, the two of them took out the map and studied it for a long time. They said that if they walked through this forest, they could save at least two or three days of traveling time. They could not only take risks in the forest to find the rumored spirit beasts, but also take shortcuts. Bai Yunfei was hesitating. After thinking for a while, I agreed to their suggestion.
As a result, the three of them searched in the forest for two days and two nights. When they came out of the forest, not to mention the soul beasts, not even a single thing that seemed to be a soul beast's hair was seen. Instead, they encountered a lot of various beasts, which made me very excited. , Jing Mingfeng, who was full of expectations, was quite disappointed.
After re-entering Guanlu Avenue and confirming that he really saved a lot of distance, Bai Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief and was glad that the situation of getting lost that he was worried about did not happen.
Three days later, in the morning, inside a tea shed next to the avenue.
Bai Yunfei and the other three were sitting at a table, drinking tea leisurely and looking at the pedestrians coming and going outside. Tianming said that this place is not far from Gaoyi City. If they hurry up, they can arrive in the evening. In the city, you can go to his house to have a good rest.
Continuing on the road, when it was necessary to go around a hill, Tianming proposed to go over it directly. This would save a lot of time, and maybe we could get home before dark. This time Bai Yunfei agreed directly. It was just a hill, so there was no need. Worried about getting lost...
Climbing the hill and standing on the top of the mountain, you can see a huge city in front of you from a distance. Although it is not as majestic as Yanlin City, it is still extraordinary, especially the four huge buildings that are very conspicuous in the city. According to Tianming explained that the one in the center is the city lord's palace, and those distributed in an equilateral triangle shape are the mansions of the three major families in Gaoyi City, Liu, Ye, and Zhao. The one in the southwest is the Ye family.
It was almost time to go home, and Tianming seemed a little excited. He shouted twice at the city in the distance, then turned to the two people behind him and said: "Brother Bai, Brother Jing, let's go faster, maybe we can still make it." Just in time for dinner at my house!"
"Tian Ming, you seem to have escaped this time, right? Aren't you afraid of going home and being punished?" Jing Mingfeng joked, seeing how impatient he looked.
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter. It's not like I haven't done this before, but this time it took a long time. The worst I can do is get scolded by my father. Grandma and mother won't let him hit me, hehe..." Tianming waved his hand, Said nonchalantly.
After saying that, he immediately ran down the mountain and turned back to ask Bai Yunfei and the others to follow him.
Just as Bai Yunfei was about to lift his heel, his expression suddenly changed, and he increased the intensity of his kick. With a sway of his body, he directly used the Lingbo Step and chased Tianming. The moment he dodged to catch up, he , he reminded loudly: "Be careful at dawn! Back off!"
Tens of meters away, at the moment Bai Yunfei's face changed, a long black rope suddenly shot out from the trees on the right side of Tianming. When Bai Yunfei made a sound, it had already shot to Tianming's side and wrapped around his neck. .
At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to Ruyisuo, but when you look closely, you find that there is no rope here, it is clearly a small black snake nearly ten meters long!
Although Tianming's strength was low, his reaction at this time was not slow at all. Perhaps it was out of trust in Bai Yunfei. Almost at the moment when he heard the word 'back off', he didn't even see the small snake entangled on the right. Without hesitation, he stepped down, then leaned back sharply, narrowly escaping the crisis.
The black snake head almost grazed his neck, and then the snake's body twisted, and after passing a few inches, it bent to the left and wrapped around him again!
