Cranes and Blazing Sun - C31

The sun rose up from the misty hillside. Half of a light red fireball lit up the dark sky, shooting out beams of dazzling light. The light fell on a small thatched cottage in the middle of Mount Song.

Chen Yumei knocked on the door outside Liu’s room and said, “Lin, wake up, there’s a master looking for you.”

Liu Zhilin rubbed his sleepy eyes and lazily got up from the bed. “Mother, it’s not even dawn yet. What are you going to do?” He walked over and opened the door.

Chen Yumei said to a monk in his thirties, “Master, this brat is just too lazy, please don’t take offense to him.” She turned around and slapped Liu’s butt, “The sun is already shining on your butt, why aren’t you getting up. Look, your clothes aren’t even properly worn.” As he spoke, he helped Liu to tidy up his clothes.

When Liu Zhilin saw the monk, he immediately became spirited and said, “It’s Senior Jing You. Come quickly, come in.” He then brought a stool for Jing You. He said, “Jing You, sit down first.”

Chen Yumei smiled and said, “Senior Jing You, please sit here for a moment, I’ll go prepare some food for you.”

Jing Xi placed one palm on his chest and nodded at Chen Yumei, “Auntie, please don’t be polite. I’m here to find Junior Brother Liu. I’m here to pass on Uncle Kong Hui’s message, so I’ll have to go back to the mountain if I say anything.”

Chen Yumei said, “Okay, then tell me, I’ll go out and busy myself for a while.” As he spoke, he walked out.

Liu Dong looked at Jing You and laughed, “Senior Jing You, what does master want with me, why are you in such a hurry, and why are you so early to send a message, did something big happen?”

Jing Rong said, “Did the few elders make a decision yesterday at the temple. They said that the Treasure Troop had already been gone for more than half a month, but not a single person had returned. I’m afraid that there’s something fishy going on here, so Martial Uncle Kong Hui recommended to the Sect Leader that you go to the Great Ba Mountain.” Master Kong Hui, when I go down the mountain, you need to be very careful. ”

Liu Zhilin thought for a while and said, “So it’s this matter, then why is it so difficult? Master really likes to quarrel, but that’s true. Brother Qing Yun has been gone for so long and there hasn’t been any news about him. There might really be something strange about him.”

Jing Rong said, “Junior brother, be careful on your way. I’ll take my leave first.” He turned around and walked out.

Chen Yumei walked in and said with concern, “Lin’er, you have to be very careful on this trip.”

Liu Zhilin looked up at Chen Yumei and said, “Mother, you already know. Rest assured, both you and Master are like that. We’re just going there to take a look and see what will happen, and not snatch away their treasure. ”

Chen Yumei grabbed her son’s hand, her face was filled with reluctance, “Mother, I’m really very worried. Since you’ve never left me for so long, how can I not be worried? But since you’ve always been by my side, not adding on your experience, how can you possibly mature? This chance of the Divine Monk Kong is yours, you must cherish it well.”

Liu Zhilin said, “Mom. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you. ”

Chen Yumei said, “Lin’er, you must remember this when you’re outside. “Don’t be petty and don’t do it for the sake of being mean.”

Liu Zhilin said, “Remember, Mother.”

Chen Yumei said, “Okay, you can leave after breakfast.” Mother will go and prepare some food for you to eat. ”

Liu Zhilin said, “Mother, take a break, I’ll do it myself,” and ran into the kitchen. Chen Yumei followed him in. Both mother and son made their moves together, and a few dishes were soon ready. He placed it on the table in the living room.

Liu put a bowl of rice in Chen Yumei’s bowl and said, “Mom, when Lin is not here, you have to take care of yourself.” “Come, mother, eat more.” He picked some dishes from Chen Yumei’s bowl.

He had brought him up through so many years of hard work, and now that he was about to leave for a while, his heart was actually filled with so much reluctance. He tried his best to hold back the tears in his heart as he said, “Lin’er, your girl’s bowl is full.” It was not a taste to eat.

Liu Zhilin watched Chen Yumei finish her meal and said, “Mother, Lin’er is also very reluctant to part with you.”

Chen Yumei turned her head and couldn’t bear to see the sad expression on her child’s face. She was afraid that she would burst into tears. “Lin’er, hurry up and leave. Be careful outside.”

Liu Zhilin hugged his mother and said, “Mother, please take care. Lin’er will be leaving.” He looked at his mother’s delicate figure as she slowly walked out of the thatched cottage.

Chen Yumei dared not turn her head. As soon as he was gone, he could no longer stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks. He chased after his son to the door, looking at his son’s lonely figure as he walked away slowly. Liu Zhilin turned around and waved his hand before disappearing from his sight.

The sunlight passed through the layers of leaves, forming a round bubble on the ground, gently floating on the ground. As Liu Zhonglin walked along the forest path, he thought to himself, “This Mount Wudang is indeed beautiful, and Mount Song is another kind of beauty.” He walked to a stream and washed his face. It was too hot. He felt extremely comfortable. When he looked up, he saw that it was dangerous and deep. Clouds were floating in the air. What a wonderful sight.

A horse came riding along the road in the forest. It was a young man with a jade-like face. The horse was extremely fast and instantly disappeared in front of his eyes.

Liu Zhilin tidied himself up and continued on his way. A gust of mountain wind blew in slowly, blowing uncomfortably. Suddenly, a sword came piercing straight at him. It was the teenager who had just ridden past. Liu Zhilin was shocked. He raised his sword to block and said, “What do you want to do?”

The teenager said, “Thief, give me your life,” before he changed his sword stance. He changed the stab into a slice and cut it horizontally towards Liu’s neck.

Liu Ting Lin’s body moved to the side, the sword in his hand swung out, retreating a few steps, and said, “Young Master, I think you’ve misunderstood. “I have never met you before.”

The young man’s expression also froze as he took a few steps back and said, “You call me young master?”

Liu Xin Lin didn’t understand what was going on, he carefully sized him up and saw that he was wearing white clothes and black hair. His skin was flowing with luster, and there was a hint of charm in his eyes as he said, “What do I call you, Young Master?”

The youth sheathed his sword and smiled. “My apologies, young master. I just mistook you for someone else.”

Liu Zhilin saw him smile, his laughter was extremely pleasant, and his face and cheeks were slightly red and soft. He thought to himself, why is there such a beautiful young man? He said, “It’s fine.” He carried her on his back and continued on his way. When they arrived at Bamboo Mountain County, it was already close to dusk. He was secretly delighted, “Tonight, I can have a beautiful sleep again. “It would be great if we didn’t have to spend the night in the mountains.” He found an inn and stayed there. After dinner, he returned to his room and laid down comfortably on his bed. “It’s much better than last night’s stone. It was so hard that I couldn’t sleep after three o’clock,” he said, jumping out of bed and opening the window. Leaning against the window, he thought to himself, “What’s wrong with Brother Qing Yun? Why haven’t we heard anything from him yet?” It was impossible for so many people to be silent. I have to get to the Great Ba Mountain as soon as possible and find a few people to ask about it. ”

He opened the door and saw a young man he met in the forest rushing over from here. Seeing that Liu’s door was open, he flashed into his room, turned around and said, “Brother, you …”

The youth put his finger in the middle of his mouth, made a gesture, and closed the door behind him. Looking around, he seemed to be looking for a hiding place.

Liu Xin Lin said, “This is an inn, there’s no place to hide, you can jump out the window and escape.”

The youth’s face revealed a happy expression as he smiled to Liu Zhenglin, then he walked to the window when his expression suddenly changed greatly and he withdrew.

Liu Xin Lin shook his head, “You’re afraid of getting too high, this is only the second floor, it’s not that high.” Seeing his face turn so ugly, something unusual must have happened. He walked to the window and took a look, only to see a beautiful young man walk into the inn. Nothing else. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s wrong with you?” The corners of his eyes kept looking down and he couldn’t help but look down again. It was just that a few white-clothed women had entered the inn. Yet, he only saw the young man before him turn pale with fright.

A few door guards sounded outside, causing the youth to tremble in fear. Liu Zhilin really didn’t understand, he turned around and the youth pulled him back, trying to tell him to not open the door.

Liu Zhilin could only nod and say, “Who is it? I’ve already fallen asleep. Don’t bother me.”

The person outside said, “Qing Er, I know you’re inside. Hurry up and come out. Come back with me.”

The boy shrieked in fright. Liu Zhilin immediately covered his mouth with his hand and glanced at the bed. The boy nodded and climbed into the bed. Liu Zhilin closed the curtain, walked over and opened the door, blocking the way as he said, “Brother, may I ask who you are looking for?” When he looked up, he saw that this young man was even more handsome, about 23 or 24 years of age. His pitch-black eyes shone like stars, and his face was snow-white and cold. His white clothes made him look even more debaucherous.

The youth waved his fan and said, “Brother, have you seen a white-clothed woman?”

Liu Zhilin raised his head and thought for a moment before saying, “How should I say this?” There are simply too many women in white, I really can’t remember how many of them there are. ”

The youth’s eyes flashed with a strange light as he stared at the bed. He waved his fan and walked into the room.

Liu Zhilin stretched out his arm and said, “Brother, you went into the wrong room, this is mine. I need to rest now, so please go back. ”

The young man folded his fan and tapped it on Liu’s hand. “Brother, why don’t you invite me in for a drink? We’re friends, there’s no need to be so far away.”

Liu Zhilin was not prepared and retracted his arm. It was already too late. He pointed at his wrist and felt a great pain. He could not help but be furious! “Get out, or else don’t blame me for being impolite.”

The youth smiled and said, “Is there anyone else on the bed?” He hurried over to the bed.

Liu Zhilin raised his sword and pointed it at his back. The youth turned his fan and placed it on the sword. Liu’s sword spun in a circle with his folding fan. The boy moved to the side, the fan slid forward, the scabbard flew to the bed, Liu was shocked, the scabbard stirred up the curtain, and there was only one quilt in the room.

The youth waved his folding fan and said, “Brother, I apologize.” He started to walk out.

Liu Xin Lin walked to the door and closed it, opening the tent flap and saying, “Young Master, where are you?” He took off the blanket and disappeared. He wondered where the person had gone to.

He turned around and looked around. There was a thud from behind as something fell onto the bed. He took a look. It was actually the beautiful young man he had met in the forest. Beads of sweat could be seen on his forehead. He must have been extremely shocked just now.

The youth crawled out of bed and said, “Thank you for what you did just now.”

Liu Zhilin walked up to the table, picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. No need to thank me, the young man is not looking for you, he is indeed a girl, but he scared me to death just now, my throat is already dry. I was afraid that the scabbard would hit you if it flew in, but fortunately, you ended up on top. “So dangerous!”

The youth smiled as he took off the scarf on his head. Her silky black hair scattered in front of her chest as she kneeled down towards Liu Zhenlin, saying, “Thank you for saving me today, benefactor. I have no way to repay you. Please accept my respect.”

Liu Zhilin was so shocked that his mouth couldn’t even close, and he thought to himself, “Oh my god, he’s actually a woman. “She’s still as beautiful as ever,” she said, hurriedly helping him up. “Why are you a woman?” he suddenly realized how stupid his question was. He hit himself in the mouth a few times.

The young girl said, “Benefactor, what’s wrong?”

Liu Zhilin smiled and said, “Don’t call me benefactor, I didn’t help much, my name is Liu Zhilin, Miss, where are you calling me?”

The young girl said, “I’m Gu Yue Qing. My family lived at the bottom of the Wu Yi Mountain in Jinxi City, but I didn’t expect to run into this demon.”

Liu asked, “What happened between you and that Young Master?”

“That lunatic is called Meng Duoduo. That day, when my mother and I went to pick lotus roots, he ran into this demon and captured me and even beat my mother into the lake. It’s unclear whether she’s still alive or not.” At this point, it turned into sadness and he started to cry.

Liu Dong slammed his fist on the table and said, “What a loser.” There was even such a person in the world. “But why does he want to catch you?”

Gu Yue Qing stopped crying and blushed, lowering her head.

Liu Zhilin said in shock, “Don’t tell me he is a rapist? Seeing his looks, he is actually such a shameless person. When we go back, I must tell Master and bring him to justice.” Next time it’s best not to let me meet him. ”

Gu Yue Qing replied, “No need.” I’ll be thankful if he doesn’t come looking for me. ”

Liu Zhilin said, “Miss Gu, don’t be afraid. There is no Shaolin Temple in the world that can’t catch a person, once you find him, you will beat him up until all his teeth fall out.”

Gu Yue was stunned. “Ah, don’t be so ruthless. How is he going to eat without teeth?”

Liu Zhilin was surprised, then he smiled and said, “Lady, you are too kind, this kind of person should starve to death. This is Mount Wudang, you’re going to Mount Wuyi, and there’s still a few miles to go.

Gu Yue replied, “Although I’m not familiar with the road here, as long as I don’t meet that demon again, I think I’ll definitely be able to find my way back.”

Liu Dong Lin said, “Then what if we meet again, we can’t let you fall into the evil hands again. If I have something to do, I’m willing to send you on your way.” “How about this, I’ll write a letter. You go to the thatched cottage on the mountainside of Shaolin first, I’ll stay there. My mother is at home, he’ll take good care of you.”

Gu Yue replied, “How can I?” “No need to trouble Young Master Liu, I’ll be troubling you for saving me. I’ll repay you for saving my life in the future.” Saying so, he stood up and walked towards the door, and as soon as he opened it, he couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath of air. He retreated back in.

Liu Xin Lin walked over to take a look and saw that the courtyard was filled with white-clothed women. Gu Yue Qing was dressed exactly the same. She closed the door and said, “Miss Gu, those girls are also the underlings of that demon.”

Gu Yue Qing nodded, afraid to speak. Liu Zhenglin thought that sooner or later he would be discovered, so he had to think of a way to leave. She whispered a few words into Gu Yueqing’s ear.

Gu Yue Qing’s expression changed. “Is that alright?”

Liu Zhilin smiled and said, “Definitely.”

Gu Yue Qing’s face was full of worry, but she shook her head. “No, I can’t let you take the risk for me.” If Young Master Liu is caught by them, my conscience will not rest at peace. ”

Liu Zhilin said, “Listen to me. “Come, help me tie it up.” He carried Gu Yue Qing Qing on his back and jumped out of the window. The weight of the two didn’t make a sound. However, when he jumped down, he was discovered by three or four women. He cursed in his heart and quickly rushed to the side of the street. The four white-clothed women followed closely behind. His lightness skills weren’t bad at all. His sleeves fluttered as he flew forward.

Liu Zuolin had just run into an alley when another four women suddenly jumped out in front of him. He hurriedly stopped his footsteps.

One of the girls said, “Run! Let’s see where you can run to. Quickly put that girl down.”

Liu Zuolin laughed, “Women, what women are there? Ladies, are you all joking?”

The young girl said, “The one on your back isn’t a woman, but …”

Liu Zuolin’s face changed, and he said, “No, how could it be a woman, how could I be that unforgivable rapist?”

The young girl said, “Stop wasting your breath.” With a wave of her sword’s tip, she stabbed over.

Liu Zhilin shouted, “Oh, my mother! He killed someone!” He threw the things he was carrying on his back onto the woman and quickly climbed over the roof.

The girl was shocked. She didn’t expect him to throw something at her, so she held it tightly onto her body. She got up and saw it was a piece of paper. Her face turned green as she shouted, “Not good, we’ve fallen into a trap.” The girls hurried back to the inn and rushed into the room. Gu Yueqing was nowhere to be seen. The moonlight outside was hazy, making the land pale. It was even paler than the girls in the room …
