Chapter 863 The Old Man Who Forced Marriage

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Taoist Master Mingyue smiled and said, "That's good. You two are guests from afar. If you have any difficulties, you must let us know."

Luo Xiaoyu agreed, but secretly thought in her heart that if she let them go today, she hoped that these people could really change their ways in the future.

Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief and quietly cast a grateful look at Luo Xiaoyu.

Taoist Priest Mingyue's eyes were gentle but revealed a sharp insight into everything. He looked at Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong and asked softly: "Do those disciples bully you two on weekdays?"

Luo Xiaoyu stiffened, then immediately smiled and replied quickly: "No, they are very good to us."

Xiaohong on the side also nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, but her slightly trembling hands revealed the nervousness in her heart.

Taoist Master Qingfeng frowned slightly, as if he noticed something, but did not speak.

However, Taoist Master Mingyue smiled softly, and there seemed to be endless deep meaning hidden in that smile. He said slowly: "I believe there will be some. Don't worry about it. If you really have any grievances, just tell us." That’s it.”

Luo Xiaoyu immediately lowered his head and bit his lip. He didn't know how to respond, so he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xiaohong quietly tugged on Luo Xiaoyu's sleeves and looked at him with timid eyes, as if silently persuading him to stop talking.

There was a brief silence in the house, except for the occasional whistling of the mountain wind outside the window, which seemed to urge Luo Xiaoyu to make a decision. This scene made the atmosphere more and more subtle.

Then, the two Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other.

There was a trace of concern in Qingfeng's tone.

"Has the Prime Minister not returned yet?"

When Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong heard this, they both shook their heads.

Qingfeng frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and sighed softly: "I hope everything goes well, Prime Minister."

After saying this, the two Taoist priests asked Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to go back to their rooms to rest.

As soon as the two left, Qingfeng whispered a few words to the disciple beside him, and within a moment, Guang Lingzi hurried over.

After he entered the door, he bowed respectfully to the two teachers, but he was secretly worried and couldn't figure out why he was called here.

Mingyue glanced at him, with a calm expression, and asked softly: "Tell me the truth about everything I've been observing recently. Can you still adapt to Xiaoyu and Xiaohong being here?"

Guang Lingzi's heart suddenly twitched, he hesitated for a moment, and replied bravely: "Reporting to Master, they are generally adaptable, but..." When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them alive, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qingfeng's eyes were as bright as a torch, and she looked directly at him and said, "Just what? Don't hide it."

Guang Lingzi knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to the ground: "My disciple is guilty. Previously, due to the lack of manpower in the temple, I asked Xiaoyu and Xiaohong to do more work. After mediation, I have apologized to them."

After hearing this, the two Taoist priests were silent for a moment. Qingfeng shook his head slightly: "In the future, you must not be so biased in your actions. Don't let outsiders look down on our Kunlun Taoist Temple."

Guang Lingzi said yes again and again and left wiping cold sweat.

At this moment, the mountain breeze outside the window is still the same, but the view seems to have quietly changed, waiting for the storm to gather again.

Guang Lingzi returned to the room full of frustration and slammed the door, making several Taoist priests tremble.

He sat down on the stool and said with a dark face: "Today I have been unlucky for the eighth time in my life. I was severely punished by two masters."

All the Taoist priests looked at each other, and one of them asked impatiently: "What's going on, senior brother?"

Guang Lingzi gritted his teeth and said, "It's not like Luo Xiaoyu, who promised well on the surface, but actually complained behind his back, causing us to embarrass such a big person in front of the master!"

"What? This guy is so unreasonable!"

"It's just that he didn't mean what he said. It was in vain that we went to apologize to him." The Taoist priests immediately exploded. They started to criticize each other, and the room was filled with anger.

An older Taoist priest frowned, shook his head and sighed: "This is good. Master has certain prejudices in his heart. I'm afraid our lives will be difficult in the future."

Guang Lingzi waved his hands irritably.

"Okay, okay, stop yelling and think about what to do first."

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. We all lost our minds for a moment.

At this moment, the night outside the window is dark, and it seems to be shrouded in the haze in the room. On Kunlun Mountain, a new undercurrent is quietly surging. I just don’t know when it will make waves again. In that dark and humid cave, time seems to have become extremely slow. , a day and a night passed so quietly. On the other side, Xi Yu lay quietly on the ground, his brows furrowed from time to time, as if he was fighting against the discomfort in his body.

Finally, after a slight cough, Xi Yu slowly opened his eyes. At first, his eyes were a bit confused and chaotic. After a while, they gradually regained focus.

He just felt that his whole body was limp and he couldn't exert any strength. His head was also dizzy, as if it was stuffed with cotton.

Xi Yu rolled his eyes with difficulty and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar cave environment around him. The vague memories slowly came back, and he remembered that he suddenly fell ill before, and he had no idea what happened after that.

He opened his mouth and wanted to make a sound, but only a hoarse and weak sound came out: "Water..."

Lao Cai, who was taking a nap at the side, woke up when he heard the noise. Seeing that Xi Yu had woken up, his face was happy at first, and then he immediately put on his slightly serious look, walked forward and said angrily Said: "Hey, you kid is finally awake, but you've caused us a lot of trouble."

After saying that, he quickly picked up the broken bowl of water on the side and carefully fed Xiyu a few sips.

Xiyu drank some water and felt that his throat felt better. He panted slightly and asked weakly: "I...how long have I been asleep?"

Lao Cai snorted: "It's been a whole day and night. If you don't wake up, I will think you can't survive it."

Xi Yu frowned slightly, knowing in his heart that this illness was really dangerous, but at this moment, he was more concerned about when his body would recover. After all, there were still many things waiting for him to do. In the cave, the candlelight flickered, and the light and shadow were reflected in the cave. Swinging on the wall.

Xi Yu leaned against the stone wall. Hearing Lao Cai's words, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. The smile was full of self-deprecation and sarcasm: "Wouldn't you be happy if I died? It would also save you the need to be on guard all day long."

When Lao Cai heard this, his face turned red instantly, his eyes widened with anger, he jumped up and shouted: "You kid, why don't you know what is good and what is good? We worked hard to save you, but you fell down and complained."

Cai Wenshuang stood up quickly, held his impulsive father with one hand, and gently touched Xi Yu's pulse with the other. He frowned slightly and said softly: "Don't say that. Although we have doubts about your identity, it is a matter of life and death, and doctors are kind-hearted." , How can you stand by and watch?" Her voice was soft but firm, and she looked directly into Xi Yu's eyes.

In the cave, the bonfire was crackling, and the warm breath filled the surroundings.

Lao Cai took a puff from his pipe, glanced at Xi Yu who was drinking porridge to heal his wounds, suddenly cleared his throat and said: "Boy, I see you are quite clever, why don't you stay and become my son-in-law? "

As soon as these words came out, Cai Wenshuang's hand that was holding the herbs and preparing to change Xi Yu's dressing suddenly shook, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She stamped her feet and said angrily: "Dad, what are you talking about!" There was a hint of laughter in her voice. Looking at the girl's shyness, her eyes looked around in panic, but she didn't dare to look at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was concentrating on the bowl of porridge in his hand. When he heard this, his hand suddenly stopped and the spoon fell into the bowl with a clang. He was also stunned on the spot. It was obvious that he did not expect Lao Cai to make such a move. .

For a moment, his mind went blank, and he felt a stream of heat rushing from his ears to his forehead.

However, Lao Cai didn't seem to notice the embarrassment of the two of them, and laughed to himself, and continued to smoke his pipe, with a bit of slyness in his eyes: "I can tell you, my Wen Shuang is wearing a lantern. It’s hard to find a good girl. If you get married, you won’t suffer any loss.”

Cai Wenshuang was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She covered her face and turned around and ran to a corner of the cave.

Only then did Xi Yu come to his senses. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat felt dry and nothing could come out.

After a while, Xi Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, stood up slowly, looked directly into Lao Cai's eyes, his tone was cold and a bit stubborn.

"Uncle Cai, since you think my identity is suspicious, you can send me to the official office to relieve your doubts, but what's going on with this inexplicable decision to make me your son-in-law?"

Lao Cai was stunned by these words, knocked the pot of his pipe, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

"Hmph, you kid, you don't know what's good and what's wrong. I'm just looking at you for pity and I'm going to show you a clear path."

Cai Wenshuang turned around with a blushing face and said anxiously: "Dad, please don't cause trouble. I'm still sick. Why are you talking about this?"

She felt shy and complained about her father's abruptness. She secretly glanced at Xi Yu and saw a stern expression on his face, which made her feel a little disappointed.

Lao Cai was furious, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his eyes seemed to be shooting out of fire. He asked Xi Yu loudly: "What's wrong with my Wen Shuang? You should explain it to me clearly!" The voice was shocking. The air around him seemed to freeze.

Tears welled up in Cai Wenshuang's eyes. Her face was pale and she looked flustered and a little ashamed.

She came over and grabbed her father's clothes tightly, and said in a crying voice: "Dad, please stop talking."

After saying that, she tried her best to pull her father outside, her steps staggering, and her hair became messy in the panic.

Cai Wenshuang let go of his father, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and complained with a cry.

"Dad, what are you doing? You are so embarrassed in front of others."

Lao Cai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He pointed at Cai Wenshuang with his fingers and shouted at the top of his voice: "You silly girl, you are still thinking about the unreachable Prime Minister! You don't even look at yourself, we are just ordinary people." If you want to marry someone from a mountain family, no matter what the prime minister’s status is, isn’t it just a toad’s wishful thinking that he wants to eat swan meat?”

Cai Wenshuang bit her lower lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and she raised her head stubbornly.

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)

"Dad, I can distinguish reality clearly. But you can't mess with things. It's not sweet to force yourself. I don't care about this person at all."

Xi Yu sat on the edge of the bed, with a slightly sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself: "This old man is really ridiculous. He only wants me to marry his daughter without giving it a second thought."

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, with a trace of exhaustion and self-mockery in his eyes.

An hour later, Cai Wenshuang gently pushed the door open and walked in. His face was tired and his eyes were still red and swollen from crying.

She walked up to Xi Yu and whispered: "I just got my father drunk, please leave now."

Xi Yu was slightly startled, then asked with a wry smile.

"Girl, aren't you afraid that I am really a thief? Are you letting me go so easily?"

Cai Wenshuang turned his head away and avoided his gaze, with a bit of helplessness and eagerness.

"If I keep you here, my father will definitely force me to marry you again, and I really don't want to. You should leave quickly, but the herbs in this mountain are precious, so don't make any decisions. Besides, it's freezing cold, so go out and find a warm place to stay."

The candlelight flickered, reflecting the tense faces of the two people.

Xi Yu frowned, his eyes showed stubbornness, and he spoke decisively.

"I have to find the herbs, there's a lot at stake."

Upon hearing this, Cai Wenshuang's cheeks instantly turned red, his eyes filled with anger, and his chest heaved violently.

"Why are you so stubborn! My father was so focused on bringing us together, and it made us so embarrassed. I finally managed to persuade him and risked letting you go, but you didn't appreciate it. The mountains are so dangerous in the ice and snow, so you go out to look for herbs. I’m afraid I won’t even be able to save my life!”

"Girl, I have remembered your kindness, but this herb has a reason for me to find, so I can't leave. Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, I can't care less."

"Okay, since you insist on having your own way, I won't care about it. Just wish yourself well!"

On Kunlun Mountain, the cold wind was biting, making the doors and windows rustle.

Guang Lingzi walked quickly to the door of Luo Xiaoyu's house, raised his hand and knocked hard. The sound was particularly abrupt in the silent mountain.

Luo Xiaoyu opened the door sleepily, saw Guang Lingzi's angry look, and asked in confusion: "What's going on? There's such a big fire."

Guang Lingzi suddenly stepped into the room, his eyes widened, and his fingers almost poked the tip of Luo Xiaoyu's nose.

"You, my guest, are just a despicable person! You promised not to tell the truth to Master, why did you tell me anyway? Now, Master reprimanded me severely. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

"I really didn't say anything! Did you make a mistake?"

"Made a mistake? Could there be any mistake? Do you know that this incident has made me lose all face in front of Master, how can I practice in the future?" After saying that, his eyes were full of grievance and anger, and he glared at Luo Xiaoyu, as if to See him through.

"I have never done anything like this. There must be a misunderstanding. Let's find it clear to the two Taoist priests."

Guang Lingzi snorted coldly.

"Looking for Master? You put it lightly. Master is angry at the moment. Wouldn't it add fuel to the fire if he goes there? You'd better find a way to remedy the situation quickly, otherwise, huh!" After saying these harsh words, Guang Lingzi rolled his sleeves. As he left, the door slammed shut.

Luo Xiaoyu's face turned red with anger and her chest heaved violently. Without saying a word, she turned around and went straight to Qingfeng's room.

Inside the house, the breeze was facing the compass, and his fingers gently rubbed the lines, as if searching for some secret.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his eyes and saw Luo Xiaoyu. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke gently.

"Donor, why are you in such a hurry?"

Luo Xiaoyu slammed the door, took a few steps to Qingfeng, and said viciously: "We can't stay in Kunlun Mountain any longer. We'll leave tomorrow! If the Prime Minister can't find anyone when he comes, there's nothing we can do. Go back first."

Qingfeng frowned slightly, put down the compass, and stood up.

"Donor, don't be anxious. Why are you leaving so suddenly? But what happened?"

Luo Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and said: "It's not Guang Lingzi! He just rushed into my room and indiscriminately accused me of informing the master, causing him to be reprimanded. When have I, Luo Xiaoyu, ever done such a dirty thing? He was so unjustly accused How can I stay in this place?"

Qingfeng looked thoughtful and sighed softly.

"Don't be angry, there must be a misunderstanding..."

"Humph, since he has wronged me, I really want to tell the truth now. During the retreat of the two Taoist priests, Guang Lingzi really didn't know anything about what those Taoist priests did? They usually bully people and force them to I promised not to tell anyone about the extra work we did, but what happened? He got a bit of a scolding and blamed me indiscriminately, even if he said it was me. "

Qingfeng looked worried and hurriedly advised: "Donor Luo, don't be impulsive. Don't talk nonsense when you are angry. You calm down first and go back to your room to rest. I will handle this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice." ”

Luo Xiaoyu said angrily: "Okay, then you go ahead and tell me. I want to see how he admits his mistake. If he still does it perfunctorily, I will never give up!"

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

On the other side, Xi Yu packed up and was about to leave the cave. As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, Lao Cai appeared quickly like a ghost, firmly blocking the way.

Cai Wenshuang was shocked, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and he blurted out: "Dad, aren't you drunk?"

Lao Cai sneered, with a shrewd look in his eyes, and hummed: "Huh, drunk? That's just pretending. How can you hide your little tricks from me? I knew you would be soft-hearted. , If you want to let this kid go secretly, I can't just watch you ruin the good marriage you got. "

Cai Wen's face turned red, feeling embarrassed and anxious.

"Dad, why are you bothering? I already told him that he and I have no intention of doing that. Why do you insist on forcing me?"

Lao Cai frowned and looked at Xi Yu with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Boy, why is my daughter so unworthy of you that you are so determined to leave? I left my words here. If you don't make your words clear to me today, don't even think about stepping out of this cave!"

Xi Yu frowned slightly, looked at Lao Cai helplessly, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Old man, you should also understand that marriage cannot be forced. It is really inappropriate for you to be so insistent on the match. You are like this It's too interesting to pretend to be drunk and to stop me. I have my own things to do now, so I hope you can be kind and send me away quickly, otherwise it will delay my business, which will be bad. ”

When Old Cai heard this, his face immediately turned red, and his beard started to tremble with anger. He pointed at Xi Yu and said loudly: "Humph, you kid, you don't know what's good for you! My daughter is such a good girl, and you still want to leave. How can I let you go so easily!" (End of this chapter)
