In the shallow twilight, there is a layer of elegant clouds and smoke permeating the mountains and forests, ethereal, misty, transformed into different shapes, and then rises in mid-air, slowly dispersed. 【Fengyun Reading Network.】

Xiong Chen raised his eyes when he heard this, and said coldly: "It was originally a good place, but it's a pity that there is a miasma inside.....

Xiaoyaozi looked intoxicated, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he slowly asked Xiong Chen: "Then do you want to ----- swagger up now?" Or take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to sneak in to find out?"

Xiong Chen smiled at the vicissitudes of life, and swaggered up to the top and the moon was dark and the wind was high? Now that I don't have Xiaolan by my side, it doesn't matter how I walk up.

With a quiet effort on his tiptoes, he kicked a half-embedded pebble into the air, and the pebble made a graceful arc in the middle of the air, and fell into the trees halfway up the mountain with a thud.

"I want to take a trip to the back mountain tonight, I want to find it...... Xiaolan's bones. ”

Xiaoyaozi Huo Di turned around, and a pair of slender eyes widened: "Xiong Chen, your mind is dizzy, your Xiaolan has been dead for more than two years, that... The corpse has long since turned into dry bones, how can you recognize it?"

Xiong Chen looked up at the sky, the air after the heavy rain was particularly fresh, and the color of the sky was also very clear, although the twilight was dark, you could see the blue background, the whole canopy was like a clear crystal, and his beloved girl was hiding behind the crystal sky.

"Even if she's turned to bones, I can recognize her...... In my heart, Xiaolan will never change...... I can recognize her, and I'm going to get her back and stay with me...... Lifetime. ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at Xiong Chen like a thousand-year-old monster, he was not confused, he had been focusing on sword training and killing people for many years, his life on weekdays was rigid and cold, and Xiong Chen got along in the past two years, although there were not many words in this apprentice, but in the past two years, his stone-like heart began to have a soft feeling.

This is the complex of mortals yearning for a warm living in a cluster, Xiong Chen is both a disciple and a son in Xiaoyaozi at the moment, although in Xiaoyaozi's mouth, this son is false, but in his heart, he really longs for a son under his knees, who looks as tall and calm as Xiong Chen, so that he can have a thought in his heart when he enters his twilight years.

It's a pity! What kind of Xiaolan is that...... It's the weakness of this apprentice with jade-like qualifications. Even if Xiong Chen fell in love with the fourteen-year-old girl in the early years of love, it was ...... Now that the two are separated by yin and yang, won't they have to take their own lives to miss them?

"You've gone mad...... Xiong Wa'er, you are still young, and you will meet a good girl in the future, so don't be too dead-eyed, you should forget, or forget. ”

Xiong Chen's face turned cold, and he said: "Shut up, there is no future, Xiaolan is my future, do you know?" Xiaoyaozi was drunk by his voice, his face was a little unbearable, and he stomped his feet and said: "Do you talk to the master like this? Even if that Xiaolan is your treasure, but it is also a dead ghost, you are a big living person, do you want to hold a ghost for the rest of your life? Xiong Wa'er, if there is no master to take you in these two years, do you think that you will have a life to keep? The wings have not grown stiff, so they began to roar fiercely at the master. ”

Xiong Chen took a deep breath, waved at Xiaoyaozi, and said: "Master, please calm your anger, the master's benefits to me, Xiong Chen has never forgotten, but the master should also know that Xiaolan is my wife, you can despise anyone, but you must not snub her in words, this is the bottom line of the apprentice, please understand." ”

Xiaoyaozi let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "You and that Xiaolan are just private for life, neither worship in the church nor in the cave room, you are not ashamed to speak, and you screamed as a wife..... Haha, wouldn't it be a great grievance for your future wife?"

Xiong Chen said lightly: "I only have one wife in my life, how can she be wronged?"

Xiaoyaozi looked distressed and shrugged: "You are so obsessed and unrepentant, and the master is too lazy to say anything about you, you can go if you like, as long as you can come back alive." ”

The corners of Xiong Chen's mouth bent down slightly, looking at the path that meandered through the dense trees.

"Master rest assured, Xiong Chen will return safely, where are you resting tonight?"

Xiaoyaozi was so angry and angry, and said in a sullen voice: "Xiong Wa'er, you forgot again, what are you old, are I very old? Master, I am the good years of Yushu Linfeng, hum, you are old, I see that you are old, and your heart is old." ”

Xiong Chen laughed and said: "What the master said is true, the apprentice's heart is already old, and the master's heart is young, it is better to take advantage of the youth, quickly marry a senior lady and come back, and give me a little junior brother." ”

Xiaoyaozi's white jade-like face turned red, and he shouted: "Shut up...... You kid, you're getting more and more unruly, and it's your turn to take care of my business?"

Xiong Chen laughed loudly, only shaking the leaves of the forest trees beside him, and the water droplets on them fell dripping, wetting him and Xiaoyaozi's whole body.

"Two masters, the dish is ready, please take a seat. ”

Zhang Qingtian stood at the door of the tea house and greeted respectfully.

Xiaoyaozi shook the water droplets on his body and walked towards the tea house: "Don't be crazy with you kid, I'll eat, hey, Brother Zhang, do you want someone to watch the night in the tea house? I won't leave tonight, I'll stay here for you to keep vigil for you for free, do you think it's okay?"

"This, how dare you have Uncle Lao? I usually wait for the guests to leave, then lock the door, and go home with the old woman, what is this......?"

Xiaoyaozi stepped forward and patted Zhang Qingtian on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I'll stick your gold upside down, one or two gold for one night, do you see enough?"

Zhang Qingtian was flattered, and said continuously: "One or two gold for one night......?" It's too expensive, I can't afford it, uncle, you have to keep vigil for the little one, it's already ...... It's a good thing, I don't want gold, uncle, just keep it! But there are a lot of mosquitoes in the shop at night, and there are no ready-made beds and bedding, uncle, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Xiaoyaozi made a straight face: "No, you definitely have to ask for gold, Xiong Wa...... Xiong Gongzi, please pay Boss Zhang's room fee!"

With a bang, a gold ingot was thrown at Zhang Qingtian's feet, and Xiong Chen's faint voice came from the mountain road: "This is ten taels of gold, is it enough?"

Zhang Qingtian leaned over to pick it up, wanting but not daring to ask for it, just standing on the ground and laughing dryly.

Xiong Chen walked past Zhang Qingtian and said in a low voice: "Boss Zhang, come in and eat together, I still have something to ask." ”

Zhang Qingtian stuffed the gold into his sleeve, and followed the two into the tea house with anxiety.

The dish is the same as Fang Cai's, except with the addition of a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and a bowl of sauce bones.

Zhang Qingtian's wife stood aside and waited, pouring tea and handing water, and the etiquette was extremely thoughtful.

"Boss Zhang, you just said that you have talked a lot about business in recent years, why is this?"

After a moment of fright, Zhang Qingtian's voice and tone of voice became respectful, he looked at Xiong Chen, and said, "This, I said it, I am afraid that the little brother will be angry in his heart." ”

Xiong Chen raised his eyebrows, picked up a chicken leg and put it into Xiaoyaozi's bowl: "Master, look at this chicken leg, it is shiny, and the apprentice has honored you, so it should be regarded as making amends for Fang Cai's words." ”

Xiaoyaozi glared and wanted to sarcastically mock Xiong Chen, but Xiong Chen had already turned his head to Zhang Qingtian and said, "Say it!"

Zhang Qingtian accompanied a very cautious smile and said in a low voice: "I don't know why in the past two years, Jiudao... Jiudao Villa has stopped a lot, and in the past, every three or five days, there were traffickers driving by in carriages to send slaves collected from all over the country into Jiudao Villa, but for some reason, two years ago, the villa announced that there would be no more slaves, so that there were naturally fewer carriages and horses passing here, and the old man's business plummeted!"

Xiong Chen sighed and said, "What about the slaves who were originally in the villa?

Zhang Qingtian scratched his head and said, "This ...... I don't know very well, little brother, you have to know, my small shop is located at the foot of the mountain, Jiudao Villa is at the top of the mountain, and there is a full ten miles of mountain road in between...... Besides, I don't dare to go up if there is nothing to do, but in the past two years, I have seen some diners leave, and there are probably one or two hundred people!"

"Leave?"

"Yes, leaving, are all driving the carriage, dragging the family to leave, once there was a diner in my place, I asked a little more, the old man glared at me, and said--- You are really nosy, do you think the head on your neck is too strong? Hehe, the old man is not a troublemaker, so he no longer dares to gossip about this matter. ”

Xiaoyaozi picked up the chicken leg and took a bite, and said, "You said that in the past two years, Jiudao Villa has no new slaves, and the diners are leaving one after another----?"

Zhang Qingtian shook his head and said: "Lord Zhao Zhuang has always lived in a simple place, saying that I have opened a tea house here for more than 20 years, and it can be seen that the number of times Zhao Zhuang has been no more than 50 times. ”

Xiaoyaozi slapped his thigh and shouted, "Stop...... Stop, you said that the chief housekeeper of Jiudao Villa personally went down the mountain to purchase?"

The expression on Zhang Qingtian's face was also quite peculiar, and he coughed twice and said: "Yes, when I saw it for the first time, I still muttered in my heart, the dignified chief butler of Jiudao Villa, can he personally drive to purchase supplies? There are so many people in the villa, and he can't afford to do it himself! But after seeing more later, it's not strange to see it." ”

Xiaoyaozi looked at Xiong Chen sideways: "Xiong Wa'er, what did you hear when you heard this?"

Xiong Chen picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly, "What?"
