Chapter 3 (2/2)
She took out a silk handkerchief with two red flowers embroidered on it and gently stuffed it into her traceless hand.
Traceless suddenly smiled at her.
”Don't be sad, I'll come back! Sure“
Mingyue looked at him quietly. In her heart, she also firmly believed that he would come back and marry her.
Looking up, Gong sunqi stood on the top of a bamboo pole and swayed with the wind.
Traceless left Yaoxian valley where he had lived for 16 years. He left Fang who didn't talk much but cared for him. He left Gongsun Qi who had stayed in Yaoxian Valley for ten years. He suddenly felt empty in his heart.
And the bright moon, the beautiful, gentle, kind and sniveling girl, made his heart ache.
”I can't die! I must find xuelinglong and live! ”
But what is xuelinglong?
He asked Gong sunqi and Fang Wenwen.
All they know is that xuelinglong is an insect, an extremely poisonous insect that no one has seen in recent 100 years.
But he is not depressed. As long as he has, I will find it.
On the official road to Dongting, traceless rode the thief's thin donkey and walked slowly.
The donkey hung his head and was listless.
Many passers-by cast strange eyes and looked at the thin boy as a monkey sitting on the back of the donkey as thin as a monkey.
The boy was also listless and drowsy sitting on the donkey, which made people worry that he would fall down.
Suddenly, the little donkey raised his ears, put his nose back and forth, and shouted with a grin.
Traceless seems to wake up from his sleep and look up.
Not far ahead, a banner of a wine shop fluttered in the wind.
Without trace, he opened his eyes as bright as stars, involuntarily stretched out his tongue and licked his lips.
”You beast, are you greedy for wine?”
After that, he was stunned.
Because he is also greedy for wine. When he says so, won't he become an animal?
The wine shop is on the side of the road. It is a thatched shed built of several wooden columns.
Inside and outside the hut, there are several tables.
In the hut, there were five men in black dressed in crimson cloaks, each with a steel knife in his hand.
Five people are drinking in a big bowl.
The passers-by saw that the five people were armed and did not dare to go in again. Several people stopped and sat outside.
Since the little donkey found the wine shop, he walked very fast.
The owner of the wine shop is an old man over half a hundred years old and a woman with gray hair. It must be his wife.
Without trace, he got off the donkey's back and sat down on an empty table by the road.
The boss immediately ran over.
”What would you like?”
Without trace, the donkey on one side shouted again.
”First beat five kilograms of sorghum and burn it to the beast.”
The boss was stunned, looked around and said, ”which... Which... Beast?”
It's not that he stammered, it's that he thought Wuji was talking about who, so he was scared.
Don't you feel uncomfortable when you scold animals?
Traceless reached out and pointed to the little donkey. The boss stared round and seemed to see the most incredible thing in the world.
However, when he saw the little donkey drinking sorghum very happily, he wondered if he was dazed.
”Interesting! Brother, you see, the donkey can drink! ”
Under the straw shed, a man in black pointed to the little donkey and laughed.
”Give me five kilograms of sorghum and two kilograms of beef!”
A businessman at the next table was so surprised that he almost threw away his wine glass.
Such a thin donkey drinks five kilograms of sorghum. That's enough. After all, it's a donkey.
But the boy is as thin as a monkey who hasn't eaten in the mountain for a few days. Can he drink five kilograms of sorghum?
No trace looked at him, his eyes as bright as stars looked so clear and pure.
The merchant shook his head and turned his head.
Five catties of sorghum burned down, the donkey and traceless were in good spirits.
A man and a donkey stagger to the Yuanshui river.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark and the distant mountains were getting blurred, the donkey was allowed to walk without trace.
”Brother, do you still need five of us to catch a girl who doesn't know any martial arts? Later, I'll bring her alone! ”
Suddenly, a man's voice floated. Although it was mixed with the sound of the river flowing, no trace was still heard word by word.
”That girl doesn't know martial arts, but we must not be careless! The Lord has repeatedly ordered her to be captured alive. Moreover, the LORD was already angry when she escaped from Yuntang island last time. If you miss again this time, I'm afraid you and I will lose our head! ”
The other said slowly with a low voice.
Traceless jumped off the donkey's back and saw an awning boat tied to the river. The sound came from the boat.
At this time, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The moonlight is shining on the river.
Suddenly, five people rushed out of the boat and jumped onto the Bank of the river.
Looking through the moonlight, traceless could vaguely recognize that the five people were the five people who drank in the wine shop during the day.
He took the little donkey and followed him from a distance to a mountain forest by the river.
