Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Trip to Wushan

Zhou Youmei couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said: If Master had brought the holy medicine for healing with him first, the current situation would not have happened. Shao Youmei smiled bitterly and said authentically: Who would have thought that I would meet this beastly guy here. The conversation paused, and he said with a full expression: "My child, it's not that the master is talking big. In today's martial arts, apart from Bailiyuan and his wife, it is rare to have an enemy with ten strokes under my command. Why should I often treat the wounded?" Take the medicine with you?

Zhou Youmei paid attention and asked: Master, if you fight alone, how many times can you subdue Bailiyuan? Shao Youmei pondered and continued: In the past, I was confident that I could subdue him within 500 moves, but in terms of the fighting situation last night, Bailiyuan is already just as good as me. Zhou Youmei couldn't help frowning and said: "Then, according to Master's judgment, between Master and Gongye Ruyu, which one is stronger?" Shao Youmei smiled and said: In matters in the Jianghu, power is of course the number one priority, but the strength of martial arts does not determine everything, so at present, you don't have to worry about these, let alone guess whose martial arts is stronger out of thin air.

Zhou Youmei smiled sheepishly and nodded. Only then did Shao Youmei pay attention and continued: "Son, now, it's time to talk about everything about you, I don't know your name yet!" Zhou Youmei smiled slightly and said: My name is Zhou Youmei. Shao Youmei was taken aback and said, "Is that your master's name for you?" Zhou Youmei nodded and said: Yes. Then, he paid attention and asked: Master, what do you want to know first? This is indeed a question with a thousand threads, and for a while, I really don't know where to start. Shao Youmei continued in deep thought: First, let me tell you about your experience as a teacher.

OKZhou Youmei nodded and said: The thing is like this So, from when she became a teacher when she was a child, to when she was ordered to come to Wuchang to rescue Wen Yimin, she told the whole story. After Shao Youmei listened quietly, she couldn't help but murmured to herself with tears in her eyes: Ruomei, Ruomei, I finally got news about you Zhou Youmei couldn't help but smiled excitedly and said, "Master, after you fully recover from your injuries, let's set off for Wushan immediately." Shao Youmei nodded and said: I hope they can wait a few more days in Wushan It was a late night with a crescent moon like eyebrows and few stars twinkling. It was the fifth day of April. It was also Lin Yongnian, Li Qiaoyun, Bai Wenshan who were trapped in the cave of Chaoyun Peak, and Zhou Youmei who accompanied her in the suburbs of Wuchang. While her master Shao Youmei was healing her wounds, the location was Wushan County.

In the middle of the night in the mountain city, it is rare to see a pedestrian on the street paved with bluestone slabs, and most of the shops on both sides are closed except for a few restaurants and China Merchants Inn. This scene, of course, seemed rather bleak, and even the guys in the restaurants and China Merchants Inns that were not closed were yawning listlessly because of the lackluster business. But at this moment, a burst of bells and horseshoes suddenly pierced the silent night sky, and even the guys in the restaurants and inns couldn't help but feel refreshed. These exhilarating voices, getting closer

Soon, two riders appeared on the gloomy street, obviously after a long journey, the riders were an old man in gray and a middle-aged scribe in green. These two were exactly Gu Ruomei and Lin Zhiqiang in disguise. After the two of them entered this street, which was originally the busiest street in Wushan County, they immediately floated off their horses, walked slowly, and scanned left and right with their sharp eyes. Walking in front, Lin Zhiqiang, who was dressed as a scholar in green shirt, turned his head and said to Gu Ruomei through voice transmission: "Auntie, it's too late. Even if you find that pawn shop, it's already closed. I think it's better to go to the pawnshop first." , look for it tomorrow!

Gu Ruomei shook her head and replied via voice transmission: Son, since I'm here, I can't wait to see him right away, so how can I patiently wait until tomorrow? Lin Zhiqiang gave a self-conscious smile, and Gu Ruomei said in an ordinary voice: "Son, go to the inn in front and ask." yes. Lin Zhiqiang responded respectfully, walked to a small inn with a lantern of Yuelai Inn hanging at the door, and cupped his hands at the waiter who thought business was coming and hurriedly pretended to be a guest with a smile: Excuse me, brother, in this Wushan city, Is there a pawn shop called Huizhong?

The shop clerk nodded disappointedly and said: Yes, from here forward, about a hundred steps and a right turn. Lin Zhiqiang cupped his hands again and said: Thank you, little brother The waiter in the shop hurriedly continued: "Master, at this time, the pawn shop has already closed. You and this old man should rest in the small shop for a night and go tomorrow!" Lin Zhiqiang smiled as he walked: "It doesn't matter. When you can't open the door, you can come back to the shop again." At this time, another tall and healthy horse riding a tall and healthy horse was also at the door of the inn, and a middle-aged businessman with a dusty face fell down.

The shop waiter was busy greeting the customers, and didn't say any more. The middle-aged businessman, consciously or unconsciously, glanced at Lin Zhiqiang and Gu Ruomei, and then walked into the inn. The waiter in the shop is indeed a good-looking man. After attracting a customer, he turned his head to Lin Zhiqiang and Gu Ruomei who had already walked forward and said: "The old man and the husband, if you can't ask to open the door, welcome back." Come to live in the shop, the room is quiet, the hospitality is thoughtful, Mr. Bao is satisfied Yes, after Lin Zhiqiang and Gu Ruomei walked a hundred or so steps forward, they turned right and saw the signboard of Huizhong Pawnshop.

Under Gu Ruomei's signal, Lin Zhiqiang immediately walked to the door of the pawn shop and began to knock on the door. After a while, a vigorous and impatient voice came from the door asking: Who is it?A disturbing dream in the middle of the night. Lin Zhiqiang had no choice but to apologize and said with a smile: I'm sorry, old man, I want to see the shopkeeper of Guibao. The vigorous voice inside the door said, "What do you do when you see the shopkeeper?" Lin Zhiqiang said humbly: "There is a valuable thing, I must immediately take it out." The voice inside the door said: If you want to be something, come back tomorrow

Lin Zhiqiang hurriedly continued: "No, no, old man, this thing is very important. As long as the treasurer takes a look, he will definitely accept it immediately." The voice inside the door was slightly surprised and authentic: Is there such a thing? With a rattling sound, a square grid appeared on the iron gate, and an old wrinkled face looked at Lin Zhiqiang through the grid, and said with a smile: "Okay, take it out for me to have a look." Lin Zhiqiang shook his head and said: No!I have to see the shopkeeper before I can take this thing out. The old face in the square smiled and said: The old man is the shopkeeper! Lin Zhiqiang paid attention and asked back: Really? The old face in Fang Ge said impatiently: If you don't believe me, come back tomorrow. Lin Zhiqiang had no choice but to smile wryly: Me!i believe you are Said, already Tanhuai took out half an ancient coin that his second uncle gave him, put it in the palm of his hand and sent it to Fangge. The old face in the grid turned to the side in order to let the light in the room shine through, so that he could see it clearly. After watching it carefully for a while, he said in a low voice: "This thing is indeed very precious." Then, he blocked the grid again, and asked without any emotion in his voice: How much money do you want to pawn? Lin Zhiqiang said hesitantly: Ten thousand taels He said in his mouth, but he couldn't help laughing secretly: half an ancient coin, if you want to treat it as ten thousand taels of silver, that's crazy! But the old man inside the door was not surprised at all, and his tone was particularly indifferent and flat: It's not expensive, but ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, how can you take it away by yourself? Lin Zhiqiang smiled and said: I can take them away in batches. How many times? twenty times. Only then did the old man in the door ask in a voice so low that only Lin Zhiqiang could hear it: "What is the relationship between my brother and the owner of this half ancient coin?" Lin Zhiqiang replied with a serious face: "It's a family friend." The old man in the door continued: "The old man has seen this half of the ancient coin more than once. Who is the one who has been here many times before?" Lin Zhiqiang replied with a straight face: that is my uncle. The old man inside the door asked again: "Who is the old man behind my brother?" Lin Zhiqiang respectfully replied: This is Xiao Ke, an elder. The old man inside the door said: Is it the hero Ling Shulin Yongnian? Lin Zhiqiang said: No, her old man's surname is Gu. Gu?The old man inside the door seemed to be taken aback for a moment and said: Is his name Shang Ruo Xia Mei? Gu Ruomei on the side couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart anymore, and hurriedly nodded first: I am Gu Ruomei, may I ask your honor? The old man inside the door couldn't help but said in a trembling voice: Miss, do you still remember the old slave Gu Dong? It turned out that this old man was actually a servant of Gu Ruomei's natal family. There is a saying: when there is sweet rain after a long drought, when you meet an old friend in a foreign land, at this time and here, Gu Ruomei can meet an old servant whom she has not seen for many years. The excitement in her heart is no different from meeting her own relatives. At that moment, she also asked tremblingly, "Old man, how are you?" Although she was talking to her servant, her tone was not only very kind, but also very respectful. This situation made Gu Tong so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he said incoherently: Miss Mo Zhesha old slave, you still call me Gu Dong!Miss, uncle, he misses you so much The son-in-law in Gu Dong's mouth, of course, refers to Shao Youmei. As soon as Shao Youmei was mentioned, Gu Ruomei couldn't help asking: "Old man, is Youmei here?" Gu Tong sighed softly: "Unfortunately, my uncle came back once a year ago, so far there is no news. Then, he smiled bitterly and said: In the past, the hero Lin Yongnian, every time he came here, it was like this Gu Ruomei interrupted again and said: Old man, open the door quickly, I have a lot to ask you. Gu Tong shook his head and said: "Miss, this place is inconvenient for reception, you'd better drop off at the nearest shop, tomorrow morning, I will go to see you before refitting." Gu Ruomei continued thoughtfully, "Okay, then, I'll stay at the nearest Yuelai Inn, and you can come early tomorrow morning." Gu Tong nodded and said, "Okay." Gu Ruomei and Lin Zhiqiang returned to Yuelai Inn, opened two upper rooms, washed and changed clothes, had some snacks, and immediately went to bed separately. The two of them were lying on the bed separately, but they had traveled thousands of miles to come here, but they were in vain. This situation not only made Lin Zhiqiang deeply feel that he was not lucky enough, but couldn't fall asleep, even Gu Ruomei couldn't calm down his emotions because of the past and old dreams. Gu Ruomei was lying on the bed with her clothes on. After a long, long time unable to sleep, she simply stood up, quietly came out through the window, flew to the roof, and then said to Lin Zhiqiang in the room: Zhiqiang, take a good rest , don't come out, Auntie is outside to relax After getting along for many days, the formal address of the two of them has changed greatly, and the actual distance has also shortened a lot. Gu Ruomei has already treated Lin Zhiqiang as his nephew. Originally!Lin Zhiqiang is the future husband-in-law of her beloved apprentice, and will also be the successor of her husband-in-law. With this double extraordinary relationship, can she treat Lin Zhiqiang wrongly! In fact, in these short few days, Lin Zhiqiang's martial arts has improved a lot under her guidance! Wushan County was originally a mountain city with mountains on its back and rivers on its back. The terrain is high and steep, especially when standing on the roof, the view is even wider. At this time, it was like a crescent moon, and it had already sunk in the west. Gu Ruomei Zhuo stood on the roof, wandering her eyes, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. What a coincidence, before the end of her long sigh, another long and faint sigh came from across the air. This deep and deep sigh obviously came from a woman's mouth, moreover, due to Gu Ruomei's accident, in a hurry, it was impossible to tell where the long and deep sigh came from. She, Fang Zi smiled wryly in the dark and frowned, and a clear chant came from the sky: Walk alone and sit alone, sing alone and pay alone and lie alone. standing sad, Reluctantly touch people lightly. Who will see this situation?Tears wash away the remaining makeup without half, Sorrows and illnesses are frequent, It is impossible to dream of removing all the cold lights. This is a poem written by Zhu Shuzhen, a poetess in the Song Dynasty, with the reduced character Mulanhua, but when it was introduced to Gu Ruomei's ears at this time and place, it made her feel a little mocking. This time she heard very clearly that the other party was indeed a woman, and the moaning sound came from an ancient banyan tree about ten feet away from her. At the same time, the voice of moaning that seemed sad and mocked her came again with the wind. The long night is long, the leaves are rustling, and the wind is knocking on the paper window. The tea is warm and the smoke is cold, the furnace is dark with incense, The small courtyard is empty, double doors are covered, and a light is carried. It's hard to let go of worries, it's hard to get dreams, it's boring to sleep in a cold quilt, Desolate situation, let's work together tonight, The sound of leakage is deep, the sound of bells is bitter, and the sound of geese is high. Then, there was another deep sigh. Gu Ruomei raised her eyebrows, and the other party's voice came out again: One volume of Li Sao and one volume of scriptures, Ten years of mind, ten years of lights, The sound of autumn on the banana leaves! If you want to cry, you can force yourself to laugh, To avoid sorrow and helplessness, to learn to forget love, It should be smart to mislead people. Although this is also an ancient poem, the irony is more obvious, only Gu Ruomei's name was not mentioned. No matter how good Gu Ruomei's self-cultivation is, she can't hold her breath any longer, so as soon as the other party's voice fell, she immediately covered her lips and said with a cold smile: Your Excellency is so elegant! Madam won the award!A coquettish smile came from the ancient banyan tree and said: I just came here on a whim. I recited the poems of the predecessors indiscriminately, and those who are not worthy of recognition are worthy of the title. For elegant people! The other party can reveal her disguised identity, this situation can't help but make Gu Ruomei feel dark, but she said with a cold smile: Really!Since you can see through my disguise, even if you are not self-effacing, you can at least be called a peerless expert. If you are in front of me, you can't miss it. Do you dare to ask your Excellency to come and see me? Gu Rong said with a smile: Ma'am, I don't even dare to be called elegant, let alone be called an expert. Gu Ruomei laughed and said: Your Excellency, don't be too modest, just because you can tell me about my disguised identity, I am willing to bow down. The ancient general said with a smile: Ma'am, you can be regarded as open-minded. In fact, I can tell you your disguise in one breath, but it is only based on conjecture. Maybe I have more shocking words that I have never said! Gu Ruomei frowned slightly and said: I am listening. Gu Rongshang's voice suddenly changed to sound transmission with true energy: If my guess is correct, Madam removed her husband's surname, it should be Gu, and her name is Ruomei.
