The scorching sun shrouded the quiet town of Chang'an in a blazing heat.

A bus stopped at the stop sign at the entrance of the town, and after a minute or two, it crawled lazily along the already hot road towards the front.

Lin Xiaoice wiped the sweat on his forehead and pointed to the small town in front of him.

"My house is at the end of the town, there is an old well in the yard, the well water is very sweet, and it is very cool, my grandmother probably has already frozen a few watermelons in it, and cut it to quench your thirst with mercy in a while. ”

Bai Xiu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"Isn't this life divided, we have lived and died together, do you still need to bother with this friendship?"

Lin Xiaoice shook his head repeatedly, and then sighed again.

"I didn't expect us to survive, I thought we were going to die that day, but it's strange to say, who saved us, and Su Luo and the others don't know what happened......"

A trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "As for the surname Zheng, I hope that he will be broken to pieces, so that he can be worthy of those of us who have been played by him." ”

Seeing that Bai Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, he said clearly: "You must want to ask me, will you regret letting hatred blind you, and finally being used to bear this heavy blood debt?"

I've actually thought about this question, but even if I let time start over, I will still kill the Qiu brothers, otherwise I'm afraid I will never dare to see her...... Only blood can calm her and calm me.

Of course, soon I will have to face the fate I deserve, and the people from the special events team have probably heard the news a long time ago, and I just want to do my filial piety and take good care of my grandmother and master in the remaining few days. ”

He looked at Bai Xiu, and his expression was a little more solemn.

"But before that, I must ask the master to help you find Zang Wei's poverty, Pity's life experience is too similar to her, she has no relatives and no friends, I couldn't save her back then, if I can help Pity, it will make up for some of my shortcomings. ”

Bai Xiu was grateful: "Thank you." ”

He thought in his heart that if he still had a little use value for the people who participated in that plan, maybe he could do something for Lin Xiaoice.

As they spoke, they had already entered Chang'an Town.

At this time, it was noon, and every household was cooking, and the smoke was curling to add a bit of leisure to the scorching heat.

The main road in Chang'an Town is only two or three hundred meters long, and the three of them arrived at the end of the town in a few minutes.

Lin Xiaoice led them into a small alley, and walked inside for about fifty meters, and a clearing suddenly appeared in front of them.

A sturdy old camphor tree stands in the sunlight, and the latter shines through the dense branches and leaves, spreading over the shade of the continuous one, but people do not feel the heat disappearing.

Facing the camphor tree, a courtyard gate was opened, and the yard was full of grass and trees, and it was very vibrant.

Then there are three bungalows in a row, most of which are covered by green creepers and pink roses, which can't help but add a bit of literature and art to the whole courtyard, which is exactly the same as the elegance of this town.

Before entering the door, Lin Xiaoice shouted: "Grandma, I'm back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xiu saw an old lady trotting out of the room with the door open, she was full of silver hair, her eyebrows were kind, and although she was dressed plainly, she was very healthy.

She pulled Lin Xiaoice to look at it again and again, and called with tears in her eyes: "Bingbing, don't rush to leave this time, accompany grandma more......"

Lin Xiaoice was also a little choked: "If you don't go, I won't leave in my life, so I'll accompany you here well." ”

Grandma Lin didn't take it seriously - it seems that he often said such things before, she just sighed pretending to complain: "You know how to coax my old man......"

She looked at Bai Xiu with a smile: "Bingbing hasn't brought friends back for a long time, you must play at home for a few more days!"

She teased Qu Pi again and said to Lin Xiaoice: "This girl is so well-behaved, just like the girl doll in the last photo, next time I will ask her to come to the house to play together." ”

Lin Xiaoice nodded with a smile, but turned around and secretly wiped her tears while she was not paying attention.

Bai Xiu knew in his heart, it seemed that the girl mentioned by the old man was Zhou Tangrui, and he recalled that broken and miserable white face in his mind, and couldn't help but think that she must have looked good when she was alive.

Lin Xiaoice quietly hid the sadness in his eyes and gently pushed Grandma Lin inside: "Grandma, I haven't eaten the watermelon in our field for a long time, let's go taste it!"

Grandma Lin's attention was indeed diverted by his words, and she beckoned them to sit down in the living room, and turned into the kitchen with joy, and soon came out with a plate full of watermelons in a fruit bowl made of bamboo.

All of a sudden, the sweet melon fragrance came to my face.

Lin Xiaoice grabbed a piece and pushed the fruit plate in front of Bai Xiu while eating: "Taste it quickly, I promise to make you full of praise!"

Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile, first picked up a piece of melon and handed it to Qu Lian, and then picked up a piece and took a bite gently.

In an instant, the melon pulp full of moisture and sweetness chewed out a different kind of sweetness in the mouth, and it was like a gust of evening breeze blowing in the heart, which made people intoxicated.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten watermelon this good. ”

Grandma Lin looked at them and nodded contentedly: "Then you eat more, and I'll cook." ”

Lin Xiaoice suddenly gave a thumbs up: "We have a mouthful, grandma cooks very delicious, even my master comes to rub rice from time to time." ”

He wasn't wrong.

Unconsciously, the table is full of all kinds of delicacies - braised pork ribs are full of flavor, tofu stuffed meat has good color and taste, lotus leaf egg custard is fragrant and pleasant, cold cucumber rice is crispy, and with Chang'an Town's unique stir-fried dried bamboo shoots, people can't help but make people salivate.

Grandma Lin was very enthusiastic, and asked them to eat more vegetables, and finally Lin Xiaoice hugged her stomach and muttered: "Grandma, we still have a long time with you, how can we finish a meal......

Grandma Lin glanced at him: "You're not at home, no one eats my cooking, I finally came back today, what's wrong with me doing a little more, and I still dislike grandma?"

The three adults smiled, and the tears in Lin Xiaoice's eyes flooded again, but he didn't want her to see it, and quickly turned his head and pretended to watch TV.

After lunch, he took the two out of the door.

Although Bai Xiu didn't say anything, he could understand the anxiety in Bai Xiu's heart, and he also understood the truth that the night was long and dreamy, if he could find Zang Weipoor one day earlier, he could also let them put back the heart they were carrying earlier.

Out of Chang'an Town, a piece of farmland was greeted by it.

Now it is the busy time of farming, after the hot noon, many villagers living nearby come out to work, the roar of the threshing machine and their laughter and laughter complement each other, forming the most beautiful pastoral notes.

The other side of the farmland is next to the Guan'an Mountains, which is different from the vastness of the South Mountain, it exudes a unique clarity in the south, and the dense vegetation on the ridge is stained into a piece of green in the sun, which makes the boredom in people's hearts go a little more.

And in that lush greenery, the most striking thing is the clumps of bamboo, which are interspersed between the tall cedar and pine trees, but they are not handsome, but they are really unique.

A stone road shuttles through it, or straight, or tortuous, or urgent, or slow, staggered, but also unconventional.

Bai Xiu carried Qu Li and Lin Xiaoice up the stairs, but did not climb to the top of the mountain, but climbed a steep slope halfway up the mountain, and went around a bamboo forest towards the mountain yin.

Bypassing the Guan'an Mountains, their feet turned into a relatively gentle woodland, and then through this woodland, there was another mountain called Nian'an Mountain.

Walking to the upper slope of Nian'an Ridge, Lin Xiaoice pointed to several buildings looming in the bamboo forest: "That is the Chang'an Cliff where Master practiced." ”

Bai Xiu followed Lin Xiaoice to climb for a few more minutes, and the stone path was gradually replaced by a staircase made of bamboo boards.

It zigzags upwards to the top of a relatively open mountain, which is embraced by a grove of bamboo forests, and has a bit of an independent style.

The hilltop open space is divided in half by a fence wall of varying heights, one side is covered with flowers and trees, and on the other side is a small courtyard with only two door panels, and the bluestone brick thresholds and cracks of the ridges are covered with moss.

Lin Xiaoice walked to the door and knocked lightly, and after a while, someone came over behind the door and opened the door unhurriedly.

It was a plainly dressed young man, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his seemingly ordinary appearance revealed a dusty temperament, and when he saw Lin Xiaoice, he showed a smile: "Senior Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"I just came back and went up the mountain, I hope it didn't disturb you, Master and Senior Brother's Qing Xiu. Lin Xiaoice smiled back and introduced the two to each other, "This is my master brother, Chu Lin; this is my friend, Bai Xiu." ”

After they each greeted each other, he said straight to the point: "Senior Brother Chu, is the old man here, Master? ”

Chu Lin replied while letting them into the door: "Master has taken Senior Brother Ji into the mountains to collect medicine, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until later, let's come in first." ”

So Bai Xiu followed the two brothers into the courtyard, and in the small courtyard in front of him was a curved water on the left, and there was a thatched pavilion on it, which seemed simple, but it was free and easy, and it had a bit of leisure and ease in it.

There is also a bamboo forest on the right, and there is a stone table and four stone benches near the courtyard wall.

The path behind the door passes through the middle and leads to the platform above, and in the center of the platform is a small wooden building, which should be used for the worship of the ancestor and the guests, and there is a row of houses on each side, which is estimated to be the living residence of the master and apprentice.

Chu Lin really led them to the small hall for guests, went to the kitchen to make a pot of tea, and took the children's favorite snacks, and then sat down with them.

Lin Xiaoice did not mention the purpose of their trip, but just chatted with him a few words, after all, if you want to explain Qu Pi's problem clearly, you must talk about Bai Xiu's origin, and most of the cultivation circles of the robbery case ten years ago avoided it, so it can be avoided or avoided.

Fortunately, Chu Lin is not the kind of person who is not interested, and seeing that they have no intention of talking about it, he did not speak.

I don't know how long I sat there, but it was getting dark, and at that moment there was another sound of footsteps at the gate.
