Chapter 305: Becoming Good Friends for a Long Time
After stopping for more than ten days, the snow started falling again.
Then, after one night, a large number of officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain withdrew in an orderly manner, leaving only two officers and soldiers behind.
It was snowing heavily, and Shi Xiaoliu and his two friends were in a good mood, so they decided to go to the canyon.
After standing above the canyon and observing carefully, they found that there was no one guarding the bottom of the valley, and two soldiers were sitting next to the fire on the official road.
The three of them happily jumped to the bottom of the valley and saw the frozen river.
Shi Zelan said with interest: "We haven't practiced swords for a long time, why don't we practice for a while?"
"good."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu were delighted, and the three of them looked for a suitable place on the frozen river to practice swordplay.
Sword lights flickered at the bottom of the valley. Two soldiers guarding the official road at the small intersection had to rub their hands to keep warm while sitting by the fire.
"It's really cold here. I wonder if there are any bandits left alive after the avalanche?"
"We were assigned to guard the place by our superiors, so we will guard it peacefully."
"Brother, I just want to know how long I have to wait?"
"No matter how long it takes, we will all take turns to guard it. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course I am anxious. My family is going to arrange a marriage for me this year."
"Your hair hasn't fully grown yet. Your elders are a little too anxious."
“Brother, you are not nervous when eating alone.
There are more than a dozen people in my family, young and old. If my marriage search is successful, there will be one more person to help the family. ”
“If I had the heart, I would have more than a dozen people in my family now.
By the way, didn’t you say you have many sisters?
What do you think of your brother's condition?
If she marries me, she won't have to serve the elderly, nor will she have to work hard serving the children. ”
“Brother, my sister is still young, don’t even think about it.
You'd better find a way to get married as soon as possible. If you delay it too long, even a widow won't be willing to marry you in the future. ”
"Haha, I treat you as a brother, but you want to laugh at me.
You should make amends by asking your aunt to help me find a marriage. I don’t have any requirements, as long as she is a woman. ”
"puff.
Brother, my aunt won’t introduce a man to me. ”
"Have you agreed to meet me?"
"All you need is a healthy woman. This isn't a difficult thing."
"If this is done, I'll give you half a pig."
"Brother, you have saved a lot of money over the years."
"Go aside. We will guard this intersection and the boss will reward us accordingly."
"Brother, did you hear any movement in the mountain?"
"Brother, why did you hit me on the head?"
"You're stupid, the two of us just need to guard the intersection, don't think of anything else."
At the bottom of the valley, Shi Xiaoliu and the other two were already fighting each other, each using their special skills.
After a stick of incense, the three men put away their swords, each with a feeling of accomplishment.
Shi Xiaoliu exhaled and said, "We have nothing else to do, so let's find a suitable place to practice sword fighting."
Xia Yu agreed, "There's no one at the bottom of the valley now, we can come here every day to practice swordplay."
Shi Zelan lay on the ice and listened for any noises, then stood up and said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu, "The water demon should have gone somewhere else."
"It's not stupid. With such a big commotion here, there will be no peace in the future. It's natural for it to find another place to live."
As the three of them walked back, they listened to the noises around them.
Occasionally, there was the sound of horse-drawn carriages passing by on the official road, and even the soldiers guarding the intersection were silent for a moment.
The three of them returned to the top of the mountain, and when they saw the dazzling golden light coming from Master Shanzheng’s residence, they took leaves to cover up the light that was coming through.
At the foot of the mountain, the two officers and soldiers looked at several golden rays in the sky. They both knelt down involuntarily. There were indeed gods in this mountain.
After the gold disappeared, the two officers looked at each other and decided to keep the secret.
Shi Zelan's mood suddenly brightened, and she said to Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu: "My master must have advanced smoothly."
Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, you are not worried now, right?"
It was getting dark, and Shi Zelan was sitting on the roof preparing to meditate. Xia Yu said to her from below, "Sister Lan, can I come up and talk to you?"
Shi Zelan nodded, and when he flew to the roof, he smiled and said, "Why are you so polite today?"
Xia Yu sighed and asked, "Did you pass the message to your uncles?"
Shi Zelan knew what he was asking and shook her head, "No."
"That's fine, I won't tell my father about it either."
"Is your father still in the sect?"
"No, they left the sect and are heading to the sea."
Shi Zelan looked at him deeply and asked, "Wanyu stayed in the sect?"
Xia Yu glared at her unhappily: "Of course, my father and uncle have other things to do and don't have time to take care of the child."
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu, who was also a child, and said with a smile: "You and Wanyu have been brothers and sisters for so many years. Do you really want to break off the relationship completely in the future?"
“I wouldn’t mind continuing to associate with her.
But after Wanyu has completed her foundation building, she will definitely get married. ”
"If she doesn't want to get married, will the Wan family force her to get married?"
Xia Yu listened to Shi Zelan's words and was silent for a while. Then she nodded and said to her, "Now you know how lucky you are that the Lou family doesn't recognize you as their granddaughter, right?"
Shi Zelan smiled and nodded repeatedly: "My mother married my father. She really made a very good plan for me."
Xia Yu glanced at Shi Zelan and said, "I heard some elders say privately that when your mother married your father, she never thought that her father and mother would resolutely refuse to acknowledge her as their daughter."
"Is she thinking that if she has a child, her parents will be more lenient towards her for the sake of the child?"
Xia Yu looked at her and said, "Sister Lan, you know everything in your heart. Were you very bitter in your heart before?"
Shi Zelan rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "My master and Master Fenghuang hold me in their hands and love me dearly, how can I endure any hardship?
It’s not my loss if they don’t acknowledge me.
When my father and mother return to the sect in the future, I don’t know whether they will be able to get along well with me. ”
Shi Zelan sighed in her heart. She could face the Lou family's choice calmly, but she couldn't be so indifferent to Shi Beichen and his wife.
When Xia Yu heard Shi Zelan's words, his brows were almost wrinkled.
After a long while, he said, "Sister Lan, we cultivators should not worry too much."
"Yes, I am ready.
By the time they returned to the sect, I had already grown up, and there was a long period of time between us when we were unable to meet.
I hope to get along well with them, and even if we can't get along well, everyone can treat each other with courtesy and consideration. ”
Xia Yu heard what Shi Zelan said, her lips moved, and she remembered the day when Shi Zelan was in so much pain that she couldn't straighten her back.
He sighed and said, "At least you still have me as your friend. We can be good friends for a long time."
