At dawn, Zhong Kui anchored his boat on the bank of a river. He jumped off the boat and whistled in the direction of the dense forest on the bank. A black donkey appeared in front of the four of them while shaking its bell.
Zhong Kui smiled." Lishui County is in front. You can find a boat in the county. I still have something to do. I'll take my leave first."”
"Take care, sir."
Yu Qi and Ji Ling stared at the disappearing figures of the man and donkey, not saying a word for a long time.
In autumn, by the bank of the Li River, mist and smoke filled the air.
Yu Qi accompanied Ji Ling and his sister as they walked along the Li River towards the county city.
As a tributary of the Jing River, the Li River, which was used to irrigate two thousand miles of fields, was clear and flowing. The morning breeze was slightly cool. The three of them walked along the grass and dew, talking and laughing. They were already very familiar with each other.
People came and went in Lishui County City.
Yu Qi and Ji Ling followed the crowd into Lishui County City.
As the hub of the Jing and Han rivers, Lishui County City was extremely prosperous. The bluestone streets were wide enough for eight horses to walk side by side.
On both sides of the street, there were wine houses, tea houses, shops, and shops.
Ji Wei was a 15 or 16-year-old girl with a lively temperament. She was wearing a long yellow dress with green feathers. She was like a beautiful oriole as she shuttled through the crowd.
The girl looked around and suddenly saw an old man selling candied haws. She quickly pulled up the sleeves of the reluctant Yu Qi and ran towards him. She stretched her arms and picked up two sticks of candied haws before leaving.
The old man selling candied haws thought that he had encountered a thief. Just as he was about to shout, he saw a man and a woman standing tall and straight in front of him.
Realizing that Ji Wei was looking at him with a smile, Yu Qi had no choice but to take out his money to pay the bill.
Seeing Yu Qi's depressed face, the smile in Ji Wei's eyes deepened.
Not long after, seeing that Yu Qi was still expressionless, Ji Wei did not say anything and stuffed a stick of candied haws into Yu Qi's hand.
"Don't be angry. I'll treat you to some candied haws.”The young girl's face was slightly red, and her breath was like an orchid in the empty valley.
Yu Qi subconsciously wanted to reject him, but he also wanted to reply that it was childish.
He turned his eyes and saw Ji Wei's expression change. When their eyes met, there was actually a trace of affection flowing in her eyes. He couldn't bear to say this.
Ji Wei saw Yu Qi take the candied haws, and a trace of joy was hidden in her beautiful eyes. Her jade-like hand gently stroked a strand of hair by her ear, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
At this moment, Ji Ling also walked forward and said with a smile that was not a smile,"Little sister still likes to eat candied haws so much.”
As he spoke, he sized up Yu Qi and his little sister with a meaningful look.
Ji Wei felt even more embarrassed and angry."Elder brother has always been calm and steady, why did you come to tease me today?”
"I won't tell you anymore. I'll go take a look in front.”The young girl fled.
At this moment, Ji Ling stopped smiling and said to Yu Qi seriously,"Brother Yu, how is it?"
Yu Qi knew what she meant and asked,"What is it, Brother Ji?"
Ji Ling thought to himself,'My little sister has just begun to fall in love and has developed some subtle feelings. It's best to dissuade her as soon as possible.'
Ji Ling smiled, calmly looking at the stick of candied haws."It's nothing. Brother Yu, let's go."
As he spoke, he took the lead and chased after the beautiful yellow figure.
Yu Qi was quite helpless. Although he did not know when he had flirted with that girl to such an extent. However, he didn't mind it in his heart. Because he was pursuing the immortal path in this life, he could only let down the girl's feelings.
He then noticed the candied hawthorn in his hand. He wanted to throw it away, but it was a little inappropriate. He smiled and immediately put it into his mouth. He ate a few. Yes, the hawthorn was sweet and sour.
The three of them found a restaurant called Tingyu.
They slowly walked up to the second floor and ordered a table by the window. The three of them sat down. At this moment, Ji Wei had also recovered her mood and expression. She placed the Emei thorn and the package on the table and called a young waiter over. She said in a delicate voice,"Serve a few of your best dishes.”
The young waiter smiled and said,"Alright, please wait a moment."”
Outside the window, I got up and leaned on the railing to look into the distance. The blue waves of the Li River were quiet and winding. Occasionally, there were one or two small boats shuttling back and forth, coming from the south to the north.
At this moment, the faint sound of horse hooves could be heard. A young man was riding on a tall horse with a charming and beautiful young woman in his arms. He was galloping on the bluestone paved street of Lishui Commandery City.
Four horses followed behind the young master. Five horses raised their whips and knocked down some small stalls along the way.
From time to time, it would cause a commotion among the passers-by. Someone would curse in a low voice,"The profligate young master of the county governor's family is out walking his dog again.”
A middle-aged man beside him whispered,"Old Zhang, lower your voice. Do you want to die?"”
When the old man surnamed Zhang heard this, he seemed to have some misgivings. He cleaned up the mess on the stall and sighed,"What kind of dogshit world is this?”
At this moment, Yu Qi's eyes narrowed. The old man named Zhang who had spoken had been invaded by a pink stream of air that was invisible to the naked eye.
Yu Qi looked over and found that the source of the red gas was the beautiful young woman that the young master was hugging.
Yu Qi did not have the heart to look at it again. He turned his face to the Ji siblings and said,"Brother Ji, let's set off early after dinner.”
Seeing Yu Qi frown, Ji Ling asked in a deep voice,"But what's wrong?"
Yu Qi let out a long sigh in his heart and was about to tell Ji Ling and his sister his guess.
Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, followed by a few thuds. A young man with a silver crown and a jade-like face came up to the second floor with a woman.
The young waiter in front had a flattering smile on his face as he said respectfully,"Young Master Jiang, this way please."
Young Master Jiang glanced at the second floor with a malicious gaze and snorted coldly."Why are there so many people on the second floor today? This Young Master doesn't like to be disturbed, so I'll chase them all away.”
As soon as Young Master Jiang finished speaking, the four servants behind him went forward to chase away the customers on the second floor. Not long after, four servants holding horsewhips appeared in front of Yu Qi's table with ferocious expressions.
Before Yu Qi and Ji Ling could say anything, Ji Wei's eyebrows shot up and she slammed the table with her jade-like hand."Where did this rude person come from?”
The four servants chuckled." This little girl is quite stubborn. Is her skin itching? Let us give you some comfort."”
Hearing the four servants 'foul language, Ji Ling frowned and was about to punish them.
Suddenly, Yu Qi raised the scabbard of his Soul Destroying Sword, and four slaps sounded almost at the same time. The faces of the four slaves became red and swollen, and blood flowed down the corners of their mouths.
"Dog slave with a mouth full of sh * t." Yu Qi shouted coldly.
