Chapter 72 News from a Thousand Miles
The back mountain is full of trees and vines, and there is no way out. If it weren't for the news from the Emei Sect, Huang Rong would have doubted whether Shen Yuanjing was really in this mountain.
She took out a piece of white paper and saw that the entire Qingcheng Mountain was roughly drawn on it. Although there were text markings next to it, pointing out the top of the mountain where Shen Yuanjing was, the handwriting was very sloppy and simple, which made people feel troublesome.
Huang Rong stared at it for a while, but still couldn't figure out the east, south, west and north. She angrily folded the map and stuffed it into Guo Jing's hand, and said, "This Li Mochou is so beautiful. Why can't you draw it clearly? The characters are so ugly. How can you tell me? Seeing that it's almost dark, you can't let Xiang'er and Yang'er sleep in the mountains and forests with us."
Guo Jing smiled bitterly, looked down at Guo Xiang with excitement, and said, "Why don't you take them back first, I will look for it again. When you see the True Lord, you will come back to pick you up."
Huang Rong hesitated for a moment and was about to agree, when a very clear sound of piano came, and it sounded very close. She jumped up, climbed up the treetops, looked around, but could not see anyone.
Guo Jing listened carefully and couldn't tell where the sound came from. If he wanted to find the sound, it was impossible, so he handed Guo Yang to Huang Rong who fell down, then covered Guo Xiang's ears with both hands. After his wife did it, he let out a long roar towards the sky and rushed straight into the sky, shaking the birds in the forest.
The sound of the piano did not stop, but became louder and showed its direction. Guo Jing and his friends followed the sound of the piano, going to the left and then walking straight. After walking for half an hour, it was getting dark before they reached the ground.
This place has penetrated deep into the back mountain, and there is a natural cave inside the wall. Shen Yuanjing has made some adjustments and lives there. At this moment, he sits cross-legged on a large stone, playing the guqin.
Huang Rong stepped forward to greet him and said, "True Lord, I came with the children as agreed that year. How can you settle it?"
Shen Yuanjing looked up and saw that both children were holding Huang Rong's arms. The little boy looked over in a daze; but the little girl was particularly lively, with expressions on her eyes and faces.
He thrust in his heart and said to himself, "Why did I agree to this randomly back then? Now there are no servants. If two little babies come over and eat, drink, defecate and urinate, I will take care of them. Wouldn't it be like a nanny? Then how can it be?"
Guo Jing took advantage of the sunset and looked at the cave next to him carefully. It was not very deep. There was a stone platform at the bottom, with a jade flute on it. Outside, two stone benches and a stone table, and a basket was placed. There were some fruits and vegetables vaguely inside, which were similar to the type sold by the vendor Guo Xiang stole at noon.
In such a simple environment, he frowned and thought to himself: "Although Xiang'er and Yang'er are not worthy of being rich and well-behaved, Rong'er and I have never treated them badly. We have always been cared for. If we really come here, we don't even have a decent bed, and we don't know if we can get used to it."
The two of them had their own thoughts. Shen Yuanjing looked solemn, Guo Jing was hesitant and kept winking at Huang Rong, but she was still smiling and didn't say anything.
Shen Yuanjing thought about it and was not easy to break his promise. He coughed and was about to speak, but suddenly his heart moved and said, "It's a coincidence, let's wait a moment." After that, he began to caress the strings in his hand again.
Guo Jing was confused. Huang Rong heard a few times and said softly: "Someone is coming, the True Lord is leading the way for him."
Guo Xiang let go of her hand, rubbed a few steps, ran under the big rock, looked up at Shen Yuanjing, and said in a crisp voice: "Brother, you play it so nicely, just like my grandfather."
Shen Yuanjing smiled softly and stretched out her hand and flew up like a bird, falling to him. Guo Xiang looked at himself from side to side, touched his hands, as if confirming whether it had become wings.
Guo Yang looked envious, but he didn't dare to step forward. He just grabbed Huang Rong's hand, and she sighed in her heart and stroked the top of his head.
After a while, a rustling sound came from the side. A woman in white was holding a basket and showed up. When she first saw the two of them, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked surprised and shouted: "Brother Guo, the girl of the Huang family?"
Huang Rong looked closely and found that it was Mu Nianci. With a "ah", her face also showed joy. She walked forward and said, "Sister Mu, why are you here?"
When old friends met, they couldn't help themselves. The two of them held hands together, greeted each other, said something, and threw the rest aside. It was not until Guo Yang pulled Huang Rong's corner that she realized.
Mu Nianci came over to see Shen Yuanjing, and looked at the little girl next to him curiously, saying, "Miss Huang, these two are just your children."
Guo Jing hurriedly asked him to come forward to pay a visit, and then said, "Sister, why are you here?"
Mu Nianci first talked about how he met Shen Yuanjing more than ten years ago, and then talked about what happened after Yang Guo left: "That day, Guoer left a note and left, and I went everywhere like crazy. After searching around, I didn't see anyone, so I left Lin'an. At that time, I was confused and thought that he knew his father's message, so I went north and found Yanjing, but never found anyone else. I turned around and went to Kaifeng, and ran into several old subordinates of Wanyan Honglie, all of whom said they had never seen him.
I was about to return, but I accidentally saw Ouyang Feng. Thinking that Brother Kang died at his hands, I went forward to take revenge. Unfortunately, I was not good at martial arts and could not beat him for a while. I was injured and ran away. Fortunately, his head was not smart and he was not recuperated in time. I followed along and fought several times before I got what I wanted."
Guo Jing was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Good girl, did that dog thief die at your hands?" Seeing Mu Nianci nodding, he was happy and sad. He knelt down to the east, kowtowed a few times, and shouted: "Second Master, Third Master, Fourth Master, Sixth Master, Seventh Master, Your revenge has finally been avenged."
He has been concerned about this issue over the years. However, since he got married to Huang Rong, he has been trapped in the war in Xiangyang. Wuxiao went to find Ouyang Feng. Today, he finally got what he wanted and got sick.
Huang Rong gently pulled his hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled. The incident in Peach Blossom Island was like a passing cloud and smoke, and there was no more left.
Mu Nianci continued, "After killing Ouyang Feng, I was seriously injured and recovered for half a year. At that time, I thought of coming to ask the True Lord for help, but I met Qi Gong again."
Guo Jing was a little curious and asked, "How could he go there?" Since Ogedei attacked Xiangyang, Huang Rong had met Hong Qigong once, and there was no news afterwards.
Mu Nianci said: "He said it was the kindness of the woman back then, and let go of the evil thief Qiu Qianren, which caused Master Yideng to be injured. He felt sorry for him, so he came here to end the man. After squatting for half a year, he still didn't find any chance."
The two of them suddenly realized that Hong Qigong was like this in dealing with people, and asked the result again. She said: "Qiu Qianren was a high-ranking official in the Jin Kingdom, and there were many followers in and out of the country. It was really difficult to attack. I had no choice but to find a subordinate of Brother Kang. The man seemed to have suffered a loss at the hands of the evil thief. He really helped us think of a way to lure Qiu Qianren out when the Emperor of Jin Kingdom went to Huashan to worship the True Lord.
However, when he backfired, the Seventh Duke was injured, and I was exposed, and was surrounded by the Jin emperor. I don’t know how the emperor recognized me, but he actually held a banquet for a while. Before leaving, I asked me to say hello to the True Lord for him."
