Chapter 364 Stranger?

"What! You ate it all?"

Xu Fengnian looked at Lao Huang in dismay, he was the dignified son of Beiliang, the number one rich man in Liyang Dynasty, he came back from three years of traveling, destitute like a beggar. After finally picking up a few pieces of sweet potatoes from the old farm field, I haven't eaten a bite yet, and they all fell into Lao Huang's belly.

Lao Huang laughed a few times in embarrassment and hiccupped. Xu Fengnian fell to the ground exhausted, his stomach rumbling.

Old Huang smiled apologetically, and said with a straight face, "Master, didn't the team of rogues who just passed by want to call beggars to eat meat in the ruined temple in front? Sweet potatoes don't smell like meat~"

"Master, how do I look like a beggar?" Xu Fengnian's blood pressure was full, and he walked to the river to see his ragged and disheveled appearance, and his whole body sank down again.

"I can't walk, I'm so hungry that I can't even take a step." Xu Fengnian lay on his back on the ground and waved his hands weakly. Suddenly, he seemed to smell a vaguely scented fragrance that floated from a distance.

Lao Huang rubbed his swollen stomach, and was about to turn his head and squint for a while, when he turned his head and saw Xu Fengnian got up from the ground, and ran towards the reeds in the distance, wondering, "Master, we have been hungry for two days, your belly Is there any stock left?"

"Fish! I smell grilled fish!" Xu Fengnian didn't even look back, and disappeared after digging into the reeds.

Hearing the grilled fish, Lao Huang hurriedly picked up the wooden box to follow, but burped, his mouth was full of the smell of roasted sweet potatoes, where could he smell the grilled fish?

As the fragrance became more and more intense, Xu Fengnian's saliva was almost drooling. After being hungry for almost two days, he finally stole some sweet potatoes, and Lao Huang didn't even leave him a skin.

After opening a fire, I saw two fat-headed fish standing beside the fire, and their hungry stomachs made loud rumbling noises.

Lao Huang chased after the young master and disappeared. When he heard the belly rumbling like thunder, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Master~"

"Hush~" Xu Fengnian heard Lao Huang's voice, and hurriedly motioned him to bend down and speak in a low voice, but the grunting sound from his own stomach echoed clearly and loudly in the reeds.

The old yellow cat slipped to Xu Fengnian's waist and looked in the direction he was pointing at. Sure enough, he saw two big fat fish that were almost burnt, and a young man who was leaning against the stones of the fire and fell asleep.

The man seemed to be about the same age and height as his young master, with a handsome appearance and an alienated temperament. He wore a plain long gown with a unique shape, decorated with Taoist cloud patterns on it, but he did not come from any fairy mountain Taoist temple.

It's just that the breath is too ordinary. Although he has practiced some superficial martial arts, his strength is only at the level of the third rank. It should be some young master who has practiced in Yunyou.

After roughly estimating the opponent's strength, Lao Huang was relieved.

Although in the battle in Emperor Wu City, his realm fell from Tianxiang to Zhixuan, but after all, he had entered Tianxiang, and his vision is still there.

"Old Huang, what are you thinking? Let me tell you, there are only two fish for a human being, and I'll just go and get one quietly. Don't be too greedy." Seeing Lao Huang's thoughtful look, Xu Fengnian said, Thinking that he had some bad intentions again, he couldn't help but exhort.

Lao Huang came to his senses and hesitated, "Master, is it not good for you to be like this?"

"What's not so good! If you hadn't eaten all the sweet potatoes, would I need to steal a man's fish, Master?" Xu Fengnian gritted his back molars and gave him a bitter look.

"No, young master, I'm afraid that if you go over later, if someone wakes up, you will be troubled," Lao Huang shrank his shoulders in fright, and said weakly, "You didn't even run away from the old sweet potato farmer just now. , I even paid for my luggage and the big black horse, just in case I get caught again."

Xu Fengnian rubbed his belly, he couldn't help hesitating, and then looked at the grilled fish beside the fire, he only had grilled fish in his eyes.

"I don't care, my young master wants to eat fish!"

Xu Fengnian glanced at the young man who hadn't woken up, gritted his teeth and said, "I think that person is quite kind, even if you find out, at worst, leave him an IOU and ask him to go to Beiliang Palace to pay him back."

kind? How do you know that people are kind?

Old Huang watched Xu Fengnian get out of the reeds, and followed him dumbfounded.

Two hundred years in the future, is it real or a dream?

Zhou Ji woke up in a daze, everything in the dream was so clear and real, it was obviously just squinting for a while while grilling fish, as if he had already been to another world.

Zhou Ji closed his eyes slightly, trying to mobilize the supernatural powers of Wuju and Shrinking the Ground, but Wuju's ability to directly control the laws of heaven seems to be unique to Jiang Ye, and cannot be dispatched in other worlds.

This is also the truth.

Thinking of him entrusting the gods to travel to the prehistoric west, even a saint who has already proved the Tao needs to travel, and it is impossible to directly adjust the way of heaven, without any distance or rules.

Or are these just conjectures, and everything in memory is just a dream?

Seeing Zhou Ji showing signs of waking up, Lao Huang quickly pulled Xu Fengnian's sleeve, and persuaded, "Master, why don't you just forget about it? There is a small river next to it, so let's catch it ourselves."

Xu Fengnian turned his head and glared at Lao Huang, who hurriedly lowered his voice.

"It's twenty or thirty miles away from the ruined temple. When we get there, it will be dark, young master, I can't stand it." Xu Fengnian's stomach made a loud noise again, so frightened that he pressed his stomach tightly, bent down, and died Stare at the grilled fish.

"Besides, look at the commotion on our side, he didn't react at all, he must have been sleeping very hard, wait a while, the fish will be burnt, if it is burnt into coke, he will definitely not be able to eat it. Is it wasted?"

Lao Huang hesitated to speak, and covered his face in advance, showing an expression that he couldn't bear to look directly at.

Xu Fengnian didn't notice Lao Huang's actions, all he could see at this moment was the grilled fish exuding a strong fragrance, seeing that the bamboo stick was close in front of him, just as Xu Fengnian was about to touch it, the grilled fish was suddenly picked up, turned over

"It's okay, just turn it over and it won't get mushy."

Zhou Ji wanted to test the magical power of shrinking the ground into an inch, but when he heard the movement from beside him, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Fengnian who was stealing fish, "Is that you?"

Xu Fengnian was taken aback by Zhou Ji's sudden action, especially when he heard the phrase 'it's you', his first reaction was to cover his face, turned his head to look at Lao Huang, and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth, "Old Huang, you Why don't you remind me?"

Lao Huang didn't dare to answer, so he could only pretend that he didn't know him, and looked around.

Without Lao Huang's response, Xu Fengnian really couldn't run anymore.

Xu Fengnian put down his palm and looked at Zhou Ji quietly. He somehow felt that the other party didn't have any malicious intentions, so he calmed down and asked doubtfully, "Have we met before?"

Zhou Ji shook his head, a little relieved and a little free and easy, "You are not him."

Xu Fengnian was thick-skinned, so naturally he didn't feel embarrassed. Looking at the grilled fish that was so far away, he stretched out his hand again and said with a smile, "It can be."

"Really not."

When Zhou Ji heard Xu Fengnian's stomach growl, he couldn't help laughing. He turned his head to look at Lao Huang who was standing there, and said with a smile, "If you want to eat fish, I can treat you to it."

"How embarrassing is that?"

Lao Huang rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Just now he was pretending not to know each other, but now he squeezed over, sat between Xu Fengnian and Zhou Ji, picked up the grilled fish and ate it.

"Country people, don't know the rules." Xu Fengnian was so angry that his eyelids twitched when he saw his unpromising appearance. He didn't bother to look at him again, and apologized to Zhou Ji,

While talking, Lao Huang had already killed the whole fish, and even picked up Xu Fengnian's, and took a bite of the fattest and freshest part.

Xu Fengnian lived in Bengbu directly.

I don't care about my demeanor, I snatched the remaining one, "Hey, Lao Huang, slow down, that one is mine!"

Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, looked at Lao Huang who was smiling awkwardly, nodded and said: "It's okay, most of what I have learned is from Qionghua, and I will eventually get close to the swordsmith when I see him."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Lao Huang's face froze instantly, and his whole body was like a tight bowstring, but the palm hovering on the wooden box did not let it go for a long time.

Xu Fengnian ate the delicious grilled fish and felt that his whole body was revived. After hearing what Zhou Ji said, the movement of eating the fish froze slightly, and then returned to normal. He turned his head to look at Lao Huang beside him, showing a surprised expression.

"Old Huang, are you still a swordsmith?"

After years of being dependent on each other, he really doesn't know what Lao Huang used to do.

"It's just a blacksmith." Old Huang's tense nerves relaxed, and he returned to his old cowardly and apologetic expression, embarrassed.

Seeing that Huang did not deny it, Xu Fengnian became even more curious about Zhou Ji, so he asked bluntly, "What is the Qionghua you just mentioned?"

Zhou Ji shook his head and chuckled, "You really aren't him."

"It's cloudy when you talk." Xu Fengnian shrugged, lowered his head and continued to eat fish.

This was the first time he ate meat in the past two days. Although he was not full, he finally relieved his plight of hunger.

Sitting slumped on the ground, he let out a long sigh of relief. Xu Fengnian looked at the fishbone and fish bones all over the floor. Only now did he realize that there was a small potted plant beside Zhou Ji.

The flower pot is not big, with an ordinary green plant growing on it.

Xu Fengnian glanced left and right, and didn't feel that there was anything special about this green plant, but after eating Zhou Ji's two fish, he still felt a little sorry, so he stood up and said solemnly, "Master, my husband and I Huang can't eat your fish for free, in fact, we just encountered a group of rogues from the military camp earlier, and they looked like they were gathering beggars from around to look for the young master's trace."

Xu Fengnian said seriously and sincerely, "If the young master believes in me, it is best to detour from here, the farther the detour, the better. Lao Huang and I will try our best to mislead them and let them go to Lingzhou."

Zhou Ji couldn't help being a little stunned when he heard the words, "I didn't provoke anyone when I first came here. Who are they and why are they looking for me?"

"I don't know either!" Xu Fengnian thought that Zhou Ji didn't believe it, so he stretched out his fingers and pulled them one by one, and gestured to Zhou Ji, "Brocade clothes and Chinese clothes. Your clothes don't look ordinary. People can afford it."

"You are weak in age. You have caught up with the young master."

"besides."

After Xu Fengnian's analysis, Zhou Ji was dumbfounded and couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "It's really not me."

"Really?" Xu Fengnian learned from Li Yishan, a unparalleled national scholar, and he claimed to be quite smart, but now he did some calculations and ended up with the wrong person.

Even he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Scratching his head, Xu Fengnian coughed and said, "Whether it is or not, I hope you can avoid this place."

Now Lao Huang couldn't stand it anymore, pulled his arm, and whispered, "Let's go, if you don't go, it will be dark."

Seeing the two pulling away and drifting away, Zhou Ji couldn't help laughing. He grabbed two fat fish out of the water with a wave of his sleeves, and grilled them again.

In the dark, the news fed back from the square map tells him that this world is the film and television drama version of "Snow Swordsman", but Zhou Ji has never seen this world, no matter whether he is in the world of Si Teng or the world of Thirty Only. drama.

Zhou Ji only stayed in Si Teng's world for one year. If he hadn't waited for the broadcast of Swordsman in the Snow, it would be barely acceptable.

But in the world of Thirty Only, he and Si Teng had been together for decades before leaving, but during that time, he also hadn't seen this drama.

Stretching out his hands to fiddle with the vines around him, Zhou Ji spread out his palms, and the surrounding Wanlu seemed to be affected by some invisible force, slowly peeling off, stationary, and suspended in mid-air.

Zhou Ji flicked his fingertips, and a drop of dew fell on the swaying young leaves of the vine. He said to himself, "Since time-traveling, it seems that I have never been to a drama I have watched. Is it possible that I have seen those commercials before for nothing? Yet?"

The young leaves swayed in the wind, as if they were laughing lightly.

Zhou Ji looked at the swaying branches and leaves, stretched out his hand and sucked it, a large cloud of dew gathered in the palm of his hand, and poured it on the vine head-on with a splash.

This time, the vine seemed to be angry, curled up, and spun backwards angrily, and even the young shoots retracted into the soil.

Seeing this, Zhou Ji quickly apologized, but when he held the flowerpot in front of his eyes, the vines that had been curled up instantly opened up, and a twig went straight to Zhou Ji's forehead, making a soft and crisp sound, and then fell back into the flowerpot.

Zhou Ji covered his forehead, showing a helpless smile, and the delicate leaf buds slowly stretched out, bathing the full moon in the sky, exuding a radiant glow.

As the sky was getting darker, the vines that had absorbed the moonlight all night turned back to their normal appearance again. Zhou Ji looked at the vines swaying gently in the morning breeze, sighed softly, and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.

The stream is clear and the vegetation is fresh.

Zhou Ji put out the bonfire, went to the river to freshen up, looked at the beautiful scenery here, straightened up and stretched.

Next to him, vine branches and leaves swayed lightly, Zhou Ji turned his head and smiled, "Okay, okay, I got it."

A drop of morning dew bent the long reed leaves, Zhou Ji flicked his fingers, the morning dew was absorbed into the fingertips, and dripped from the belly of the fingers to the tender buds of the vines.

Not far away, there were soft footsteps, Zhou Ji turned around and saw a woman wearing a bamboo hat and a white dress came from a distance, apparently also came to the river to freshen up.

The woman didn't notice anyone by the river when she came. When she saw Zhou Ji, she paused her footsteps slightly, and glanced at the potted plants in Zhou Ji's hands. Her expression was calm, and she did not show any pity for caring for special people. , went upstream.

Zhou Ji didn't look at the other person's face, but held the flower pot in his arms, held his head high, and looked at the mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.

Didn't even take a second look.

Just when he thought that the two of them would miss each other, the woman who had already walked away suddenly stopped, as if remembering something, she turned to look at Zhou Ji and said, "Who is Xu Xiao?"

"A stranger?"
