In the dense forest, a shadow streaked across the sky. Ye Fan was half a foot above the ground, flying at high speed in the direction of Ziyang Temple. The fallen leaves on the ground were blown into the air by the wind caused by Ye Fan's rapid flight.
Although it was broad daylight, there were few people in the dense forest. Ye Fan didn't have any worries and only focused on his journey. The last time he went to Ziyang Temple, he was still a baby, so he didn't know the way. Luckily, Ziyang Temple was very famous. After asking around, Ye Fan knew the approximate location of Ziyang Temple.
'I wonder if Qing Chenzi can resolve this Soul Dissolving Technique.' Ye Fan thought to himself. One must know that this Soul Dissolving Technique was a Japanese secret technique that no one could resolve. Although Qing Chenzi's dao was profound, it was still hard to say if he could recover Fujiwara No Chiko's memories. It was a pity that he didn't know the whereabouts of his Brother Kim. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to think of a way to recover his beloved wife's memories. Thinking of this, Ye Fan recalled what his other self said. Other than asking for help, what else could he do? Everything he had was given to him by others. Which one of them was obtained by himself?
Ye Fan felt that these words weren't wrong at all. To be honest, even Ye Feixue's life wasn't saved by him. He was really too useless. If he couldn't even protect his own woman, what kind of man was he? Ye Fan hated himself. But even so, he still hoped that someone could help him now. If he was the one in trouble, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, he would just die. But now, the one in trouble was Fujiwara No Chiko, his beloved wife. Not to mention begging for help, even if he had to use his own life in exchange for it, he wouldn't hesitate. Thinking of his beloved wife, Fujiwara No Chiko, Ye Fan felt guilty once again. If it wasn't for his carelessness, how could this have happened?
"Ye Fan, you are a f * cking bastard!" Ye Fan scolded as he slapped himself hard across the face. A bright red handprint immediately appeared on his face.
"Chiko, wait for me." Ye Fan muttered to himself, "After I rescue you and Father, I won't go anywhere. I'll stay close to you and guard the Lingyun Cave together. I won't care about the outside world." Ye Fan increased his speed and focused on his journey.
After exiting the dense forest, Ye Fan's feet landed on the ground. He had already arrived at a bustling town. There were many eyes and eyes, and traveling at such a high speed would startle the crowd. Furthermore, it was already close to noon, so Ye Fan felt a little hungry. Thus, he decided to find a small shop to eat before continuing on his journey. He first went to a remote street corner and bought a bamboo hat to wear. Now that the imperial court was looking for the Ye family, he did not want to cause any trouble.
This town was very big and very prosperous. Judging from the clothes of the people on the street, the people here lived a rich and leisurely life. The streets were very lively. At this time, it was lunchtime, and all the restaurants were full of people.
Ye Fan walked into a restaurant that looked very good. It was not that he was extravagant, but that this restaurant was very high-class. There were not that many people. Ye Fan liked peace and quiet. He could not stand those noisy and noisy places. That would give him a headache.
After Ye Fan entered the restaurant, he found a corner and sat down. Seeing that there was a customer, the waiter quickly trotted over. He took the towel from his shoulder and wiped the table as he smiled and asked Ye Fan, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"
"What do you have?" Ye Fan asked.
"Our restaurant has many specialties." The waiter smiled and said, "The most famous is our bass. Do you want to try it?"
"Alright." Ye Fan said, "One bass, two bowls of white rice, and two catties of cooked beef. I'll take it away."
"Sir, do you want it braised or stewed?" the waiter asked.
"Stewed," Ye Fan replied. He was very hungry now. Although he was not in the mood to eat, he could not do anything if he did not have the strength, let alone rescue his beloved wife, Fujiwara No Chiko. Therefore, not only did he want to be full, he also wanted to eat well.
"Okay." The waiter said, "Sir, what kind of wine do you want? We have a lot of good wine. Green Bamboo Leaf, Shaoxing Yellow, Nu 'er Hong, and Du Kang wine. You will definitely be satisfied."
"No need," Ye Fan said, "I have to hurry, so it's inconvenient for me to drink. Please serve the dishes quickly."
"Okay." The waiter draped a towel over his shoulder and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. It will be here soon." Then he jogged away.
Ye Fan picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. As he drank, he thought. As the saying goes, fortune does not come in pairs and misfortune does not come singly. At present, Fujiwara No Chiko had lost her memories, the Ye Clan was wanted by the Imperial Court, and he did not know where his father, Ye Kong, and grandfather, Ye Yun, were, or if they were in danger. And Jinchan was also in a hurry to deal with the affairs of the Church.
Everything seemed to be coming together at once.
As Ye Fan was thinking, the sound of chains being dragged came from the door. In the blink of an eye, a tall and burly man with a curly beard walked in. In his right hand was a golden-ringed ghost head knife, and in his left hand was a dark iron chain. The other end of the iron chain was tied to a woman's hand. The woman was extremely beautiful, with pink cheeks and almond-shaped eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes were narrowed as she tried to break free of the iron chain. The heavy iron chain rattled as she struggled, and the woman's wrist was badly bruised. But even so, she did not cry out in pain and continued to stubbornly tug on the iron chain. However, her little strength was like scratching an itch for the curly bearded man. The man exerted a little force and the woman was dragged in front of him. The woman's mouth was moaning, but she could not make any sound.
Anyone with a little bit of jianghu experience could see that the woman's acupoint had been sealed by the man.
The bearded man held the woman's hand and sat down at a table not far from Ye Fan. Then, he slammed his hand on the table.
"Is there anyone breathing?" The curly bearded man's voice was like a bell, causing everyone's ears to ring. The people who had been staring at the two of them were scared out of their wits by this voice. They turned around and pretended not to see.
"Come … … come." The waiter was also scared to death by this voice. He trembled as he came in front of the man, nodding and bowing, "Guest … … guest, what would you like to eat?" He could not afford to offend this kind of person. If he was angered, his body would not be able to withstand a single punch.
"Don't waste words," the curly bearded man said loudly, "Good wine and good meat, just bring it. I heard that your fish is good, bring it up for me to try. "
"Yes … … yes, guest, do you want braised fish or stewed fish?" The waiter asked.
"Braised fish," the curly bearded man said in a bad mood.
"Yes, yes." The waiter hurriedly ran away.
"I say, beauty, look at you, you've lost weight from hunger. You should eat more this time. " The curly bearded man turned his head and said to the woman, "Come back with me and be my wife. You can eat and drink well, it's better than you following that little white face and living a hard life."
"Poof!" The woman spat at him as a reply.
"Pa!" The curly bearded man flew into a rage and slapped the woman. A blood-red handprint immediately appeared on the woman's face.
"Damn, I gave you face, but you don't want it," the curly bearded man scolded, "Smelly bitch, if you dare to be unreasonable, I will sell you to a brothel."
Although the woman was slapped, she still glared at him hatefully. Her eyes were burning with anger, and her lips were tightly pursed. It could be seen that this was a chaste woman.
Seeing this, Ye Fan understood everything. This curly bearded man was the leader of the mountain bandits. After meeting this woman, his lust was aroused, so he took her up the mountain to be his wife.
The other people around also sympathized with this woman's experience, but they didn't dare to say anything. They didn't even dare to look at her. The mountain bandits were very rampant. The government had gone up the mountain several times to suppress the bandits, but in the end they were defeated by the bandits. Since then, the bandits became even more rampant. They treated the government as nothing and became more brazen. If the government wasn't a match for them, what could ordinary people like them do?
At this time, the waiter came over with a tray. On the tray were six dishes and a pot of wine.
"Sir, your dishes." The waiter said as he placed the wine and dishes on the table of the curly bearded man.
"Huh?" The curly bearded man asked loudly, "Where is the fish?"
"The fish … the fish is not ready yet." The waiter trembled as he replied.
"Tell them to hurry up," the curly bearded man said loudly, "If they don't serve the dishes, believe it or not, I will burn down your restaurant."
"Yes, yes, yes," the waiter quickly replied, "This little one will go and urge them, this little one will go and urge them." After saying that, he staggered to the kitchen.
Ye Fan saw all of this and his heart suddenly burned with anger. He was already sulking, but when he saw this big man snatching a woman, it reminded him of his beloved wife, Fujiwara No Chiko. Ye Fan drank his tea while narrowing his eyes at the big man.
The big man's back was facing Ye Fan, so he didn't know.
After a while, the waiter came back with another tray. On the tray were Ye Fan's dishes. There were two portions of white rice, a portion of stewed bass, and two pounds of cooked beef wrapped in oil paper.
Just as the waiter passed by the table of the curly bearded man, the curly bearded man reached out to stop the waiter. The waiter hurriedly stopped.
"Sir, this is …" The waiter asked with a smile.
"Where are you sending it?" The curly bearded man dragged out the words and asked coldly.
"This is the food that the customer ordered. Your dish will be here soon." The waiter said.
"Put it here first," the curly bearded man said, "You can make another one for him."
"That customer ordered stewed fish, you … you ordered braised fish." The waiter said.
"I suddenly want to taste stewed fish, put it here." The curly bearded man said as he looked back at Ye Fan, his eyes full of contempt.
