Between the wind and smoke and white clouds, sit and enjoy tea and leisurely;

The orange sun is warm and lazy on the street, and the mulberry leaves are shining and the first cicadas are singing.

Just after noon, the sun shines warmly on the street, and the vendors on both sides of the street either gather together to chat and fart, or take a nap and rest; the clanging sound of the king's blacksmith shop in Sang Si Lane has stopped, and the sound of Chen's butcher shop clattering and chopping meat has also stopped, and the whole Sansi Lane is in a lazy lunch break atmosphere.

"Oh, the lunch break is really the most comfortable-"

Hao Se stretched a long waist, sat down at the tea stall table, leaned back on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs, and brought the tea bowl on the table to his mouth.

"Arthur," a salallow hand took Hauser's tea bowl, lifted the teapot and poured another bowl of hot tea and handed it over, "Drink it hot." ”

"Yo, Brother Corpse, is today's firewood chopping?" Hao Se took the tea bowl and greeted the emaciated young man in front of him.

Corpse Tianqing nodded, pulled over the chair and sat down beside Hao Se.

"Where's Boss Gu?" Hao Se asked leisurely as he drank tea.

"As usual, I went back to the house to rest. Corpse Tianqing looked at the scenery on the street and replied.

"Tsk, it's really a good fate-" Hao Se glanced at the inner courtyard with a longing face, smashed it, smashed it, and beckoned to the corpse Tianqing, and lowered his voice: "Brother corpse, it's been almost a month since we came to Boss Gu to be a buddy, don't you find anything?"

Corpse Tianqing looked at Hao Se, frowned slightly, and shook his head.

"Alas, Brother Corpse, you are so sluggish!" Hausel sighed.

"What did Arthur find?" the corpse Tianqing's face froze.

"Of course, who is Lao Tzu? That's the sixth sense exploding person who is recognized as the number one in the world in terms of insight!"

Corpse Tianqing's face was solemn: "Tianqing wishes to hear the details." ”

Hao Se he: "Brother corpse, do you know? The shopkeeper of the Wang family's butcher shop is Brother Wang, who looks like the key suspect at the murder scene, in fact-" Hao Se covered his mouth and smiled, "Actually, it's a rake ear!"

"Rake—what?" the corpse was stunned.

"I'm just afraid of my wife!" Hao Se slapped his legs and laughed.

Corpse Tianqing: "......"

"The day before yesterday, a bewitching eldest sister came to buy meat, but Brother Wang didn't look at it twice, and the result was - hahaha...... The daughter-in-law of the Wang family actually chased Brother Wang half the street with a meat chopping knife; Brother corpse, you must not have imagined that the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, who is gentle as water on weekdays, is simply the rhythm of the mother worm's upper body representing the moon to eliminate evil!"

Hao Se looked overjoyed.

Corpse Tianqing's eyebrows twitched faintly.

"Also, the brother-in-law of the Chen blacksmith in the Chen blacksmith shop, who is the brother of Chen Dongsheng's sister-in-law, is actually the head catcher of the county government, and I heard that there are as many as four taels of moons!" Hao Se said with a pair of dead fish eyes shining.

Corpse Tianqing sighed secretly and raised his hand to add a cup of tea to Hao Se.

"That's right, that's right, the girl of the Zhou family who rolls her eyes as soon as she speaks and shows off every day, called-by the way, it's called Yun Niang, what do you guess her dream is?"

Corpse Tianqing glared at Hao Se and shook his head slightly.

"Her dream is to marry into a big family and be a concubine!" Hao Se touched his chin and sighed in surprise, "It's really everyone who has their own ambitions-"

Corpse Tianqing silently handed Hao Se a tea bowl.

"The most amazing thing is that Chen Dongsheng, do you know why he jumped from Boss Gu to Loctite Restaurant?" Hao Se looked at the corpse Tianqing fixedly, "You must not guess! He actually just wanted to facilitate the collection of gossip news in the county-I'll take it, it's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds!"

Corpse Tianqing sighed softly, looking at Hao Se who was foaming at the mouth and his face was full of red light, and the corners of his mouth were quietly hooked.

As long as Arthur is happy......

"Oh, and one of the strangest ones. Hao Se's face suddenly turned pale, and he lowered his voice a little, "The strangest thing is that one—"

As he spoke, Hao Se pointed to the deepest part of Sangsi Lane: "The master of the Qin Mansion." ”

"What?" Corpse Tianqing frowned, "That person is embarrassed Arthur?"

"Cut, the person who can embarrass Lao Tzu in this world has not been born yet!"

Hao Se shook his head, "The owner of that house is an old man over sixty years old, dressed in black for many years, and has a coffin face all day and night, and every morning at three o'clock in the morning, he goes to our stall on time to order a pot of tea, and then sits there-" Hao Se pointed to the innermost position under the shade of the tree, "I sit for an hour, the thunder can't move, and I stare at the street with a gloomy face, not to mention how mad!"

After hearing this, Corpse Tianqing couldn't help frowning slightly and looked into the depths of Sang Si Lane.

"Lao Tzu thinks, this old man is a hermit or something. Hauser, who was dry-mouthed, took a sip of tea.

Corpse Tianqing took the opportunity to add a bowl of tea to Hao Se.

"Ahh

"What's the trouble?" said Corpse Tianqing's brows furrowed.

"It's—"

"Bah, eat my grandson!"

Suddenly, a black shadow with a crisp shout suddenly came out of the diagonal and slashed like a cannonball heading straight for Hao Se.

The corpse's face sank immediately, and his fingers suddenly poked out, grabbing the black shadow that rushed out.

A moment of tranquility.

Corpse Tianqing's eyes widened, looking at the "thing" he grabbed in his hand.

Dressed in a floral cotton gown with a blue background, wearing floral shoes on his feet, two pigtails tied with red rope on his head, holding a dirty rolling pin in his hand, maintaining the shape of swinging a stick, and staring at the two of them with a pair of big watery eyes - it turned out to be a five or six-year-old girl.

Hao Se covered his eyes: "The trouble is coming-"

Corpse Tianqing's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly put the little girl in his hand lightly on the ground.

The next moment, I saw the little girl throw the stick in her hand to the side, and one of them pounced and hugged Hao Se's thigh.

The corpse's eyes were immediately round.

"Brother Hao, Zi'er came to listen to the story, you promised Zi'er yesterday that today you would tell Zi'er the story of Sun Wukong's three beats of white bone spirits!" The little girl whispered softly and climbed Hao Se's thigh and began to be coquettish.

Corpse Tianqing stared straight at the little girl named Zi'er for a long time, and then looked at Hao Se.

"Haha," Hao Se tried to pull out the little girl's claws but failed, so he had to laugh dryly twice and introduced, "Brother corpse, this is the daughter of Lu Fuli, the shopkeeper of the Lu family's tofu shop, and Lu Zinian's girl - very troublesome...... Ahem, that innocent and cute ......"

"Brother Hao, you call this brother corpse brother...... "The little girl's bright eyes turned to the corpse Tianqing, "Ah! You are the very powerful hero in Brother Hao's mouth!"

As he spoke, Zi'er jumped off Hao Se and came to the side of the corpse Tianqing, her eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to see a string of cannons:

"Then can you fight tigers? Do you have monkeys and monkeys? Can you fight white bone spirits? Do you have golden hoop sticks? Can you catch goblins? Do you have fiery eyes? Can you change seventy-two?"

Corpse Tianqing's eyes were round, and he took half a step back.

"Can you fly 108,000 miles by one?" Zi'er suddenly rushed forward and hugged the corpse Tianqing's thigh.

The corpse stiffened in place when it was clear.

"Why don't you speak?" Zi'er tilted her head and looked at the corpse Tianqing.

The corpse Tianqing's sallow face was faintly pale, and he hurriedly turned his eyes to look at Hao Se, but he was faintly asking for help.

Huh?

Hao Se was stunned.

"Brother Hao is a liar!" Zi'er let go of Corpse Tianqing's leg and pouted, "Brother Corpse is not a big hero, he is even afraid of Zi'er!"

What?

Hao Se twitched his face and looked at the corpse Tianqing.

But seeing that the corpse Tianqing hurriedly took a few steps back, put his back against the wall, shook his head and said, "No, I'm just, just ......."

"Shame! such a big man, I'm still afraid of Zi'er, shame!" Zi'er pulled her eyelids and grimaced at Corpse Tianqing.

Beads of sweat appeared on the corpse's forehead.

I'll it!

Hao Se covered his face and couldn't bear to look at it.

"Zi'er, come here. ”

Suddenly, a rich male voice came from behind, Hao Se turned his head, but saw that the shopkeeper of Lu's Tofu Workshop came to the tea stall at some point, and looked at his little girl with a slight frown.

"Daddy!" Zi'er immediately cheered and threw herself into the arms of the shopkeeper Lu.

Shopkeeper Lu picked up Zi'er, nodded slightly to Hao Se and Corpse Tianqing, and then left in a hurry.

"Afraid of Zi'er, ashamed!" Zi'er lay on the shoulder of the shopkeeper Lu and did not forget to grimace at Hao and the corpse.

A small gust of wind swept through the two figures.

"Forehead......" Hao Se frowned and looked at the corpse Tianqing in the corner, "Corpse brother...... Aren't you—afraid of children?"

Corpse Tianqing's eyebrows moved, glanced at Hao Se, paused, and shook his head slightly: "No, I'm just ...... It's just—"

"Brother corpse, Lao Tzu understands! I understand it very much!" Hao Se patted Corpse Tianqing's shoulder, "This little girl is too pestering, and she has also practiced a peerless magic skill of '100,000 whys', and her combat effectiveness is simply terrifying—in short, it will definitely be a big trouble in the future!"

*

But Hao Se never expected this "trouble" to come so quickly.

At three o'clock the next day, the old man surnamed Qin had just sat in the VIP seat and started his routine tea and looked at the sky, Hao Se was wiping the tables and chairs, and suddenly, a hurried shout came from the street entrance.

"Where is the Lujia Tofu Workshop in Sang Si Lane and Sang Si Lane?!"

But seeing a little beggar in rags sweating profusely, he rushed over, grabbed Hao Se on the tea stall, and asked urgently.

"It's in the alley, the third one-" Hao Se, who was surprised, didn't finish speaking, when he saw the little beggar rushing in, shouting at the top of his voice, "Uncle Lu, come out quickly, Zi'er, Zi'er has an accident!"

This terrible shout immediately alarmed the residents of the entire Sang Si Lane.

"What's wrong with Zi'er?!" Lu Fuli from the Lu family's tofu workshop rushed out and asked urgently.

Immediately afterwards, the Wang family's butcher shop and his wife, and the Chen family's blacksmith shop and his wife also rushed out, hurriedly surrounded the little beggar in the middle, and asked gossips.

"What's wrong?!"

"Where's Zi'er, where is she?"

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Zi'er, Zi'er, she, she ......" The little beggar was sweating profusely, but the more anxious he was, the more unclear he became.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you speak slowly!"

Gu Sang's sister-in-law pushed aside the crowd, squatted down in front of the little beggar, and said slowly.

The little beggar took a breath and swallowed his saliva: "Zi'er, Zi'er, she hung on the old banyan tree on the Xiaoqing River, and if she couldn't get down, she was about to fall-"

Before the words fell, Lu Fuli's face changed, and he grabbed the little beggar and rushed out.

"Master, follow up and take a look, help!"

Sister-in-law Wang and the daughter-in-law of the Chen family shouted to their husbands in unison.

Brother Wang and Blacksmith Chen immediately chased after him.

"Little corpse, Xiao Hao, quickly bring the rope and go together!" Gu Sang's sister-in-law turned around and shouted, and also lifted her skirt and hurriedly chased out.

"Okay!" Hao Se threw the rag and ran to the inner courtyard, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the corpse Tianqing rushing out carrying a bundle of hemp rope.

"Brother Corpse, this way!" Hao Se pointed in the direction of the crowd.

The corpse nodded, grabbed Hao Se's arm, and hurried out of the alley.

The two of them followed the trails of the people in Sangsi Lane all the way, passed through the north-south street where the crowds flowed, bypassed the crowded market, and when they were easy to run to the Xiaoqing River that passed through the county, they couldn't help but be shocked when they looked at it.

But I saw that on the embankment of the river, there was a stout banyan tree, with luxuriant branches and leaves, towering into the clouds, but it stretched out an arc in the direction of the south side, and hung the whole canopy above the river surface, which was three zhang high from the river surface.

And on the lowest branch at the top of the crooked neck, there sat a small figure, with a frightened face and tears on his face—it was Zi'er.

And at the foot of Zi'er's hanging air, is the turbulent river, at this time it is the flood season, the river water rolls up the mud and waves, surging through, agitating the river in the sharp gravel from time to time, if you accidentally fall into, it must be nine deaths.

Damn, how did this little ghost get there?!

Hao Se stood under the tree and looked at it, and was immediately as dumbfounded as everyone else.

"My grandmother, whose child is this!"

"Oh, isn't this the little girl who just climbed a tree to catch sparrows!

"It's too dangerous, hurry up and call someone to save people!"

"Little girl, don't move!"

Under the banyan tree on the riverbank, a large circle of people stood around, full of anxiety, and shouting chaotically.

"It's coming, it's coming! Zi'er, I've called your daddy!"

The sweaty little beggar slipped into the crowd and shouted at Zi'er in the tree.

"Zi'er, don't be afraid, Daddy will come up to save you!" Lu Fuli rushed into the crowd, shouted with red eyes, and immediately climbed up the tree with his hands and feet.

Zi'er, who was full of tears, looked down and immediately cried: "Daddy, daddy, save Zi'er!

With this cry, the branch she was riding on suddenly trembled, shaking Zi'er's entire body to the ground, and everyone's hearts immediately hung to their throats.

"Zi'er, don't cry!"

"Oh my God, don't move, boy!"

"Be careful!

In the chaos, Gu Sang's sister-in-law's shout came out loud through the voices: "Zi'er, your father will definitely be able to save you! Don't move, hold on to the branches!"

"Okay, Aunt Sang, Zi'er don't move, don't move!" Zi'er sobbed as she gritted her teeth and hugged the branch.

Looking at this side again, although Lu Fuli was thin and weak, his skills were quite flexible, but in a few moments, he had already climbed to the main trunk and began to climb in the direction of the crooked branch tree.

But as soon as he climbed a few steps, a fatal problem arose.

The branch of the tree hanging on the river where Zi'er was riding was very weak, and it was very reluctant to bear the weight of Zi'er alone, at this time, Lu Fuli climbed up, and the whole branch immediately made a terrifying breaking sound, which was precarious.

"No! No, the branch is too thin!"

"Lao Lu, you can't go up, the branches will break if you go up!"

"Come back!"

The onlookers turned pale with fright and shouted in unison.

Lu Fuli immediately retreated to the trunk of the banyan tree, looking at his daughter with an anxious face, his face as white as white paper.

Zi'er hugged the branch, her face was blue, and her face was snot and tears: "Daddy, daddy - save me, save me!"

"Brother Lu, don't worry, let's think of a way!" Gu Sang's sister-in-law turned around under the tree with an anxious face, and looked back at Hao Se and the corpse Tianqing: "Xiao Hao, little corpse, you bring a rope up, and find a way to use the rope to take Zi'er——"

"No, I don't. Corpse Tianqing suddenly stepped forward and said in a fixed voice.

"Huh?" everyone was stunned at the same time.

"Brother Corpse?" Hao Se turned his head to look at Corpse Tianqing.

Corpse Tianqing gently pressed Hao Se's shoulder and looked back at Hao Se.

Hao Se gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Okay, corpse brother, you must be careful!"

The corpse cleared his head, wrapped the rope on his shoulder around his waist, walked to the tree in two steps, held the trunk with both palms, and took a deep breath-

The palm of his hand slapped the trunk of the tree, and the emaciated figure jumped up with the help of force, and the toes flashed rapidly on the bark, like a roc spreading its wings and flying into the sky, straight into the lush canopy, and standing on Lu Fuli's side.

"Who is this kid?!"

"Good skills!"

The crowd under the tree exclaimed.

"Small, little corpse?" Lu Fuli looked at the corpse Tianqing beside him with a surprised expression.

The shade of the trees floated, and the corpse Tianqing looked at the direction of Zi'er steadily, there was no expression on Qingjun's face, and his short black clothes rose violently with the river breeze.

Suddenly, a strong wind suddenly rose, raising the heavy hair curtain of the corpse Tianqing, and flashing a bright light behind the bangs.

Lu Fuli felt a flower in front of him, and the emaciated young man in front of him shot out like an arrow, and instantly arrived at Zi'er's side, wrapped his long arms, and wrapped the little girl into his arms.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the load-bearing branch made a terrifying crisp sound, and it broke violently, and the two figures of the branch, one large and one small, lost control in an instant, and both fell towards the raging river.

"Ahh

"Zi'er!"

"Little corpse!"

"Corpse brother!!"

A scream of terror rang out at the same time.

Suddenly, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and a rope flew out horizontally, entangled around the tree.

I saw the corpse Tianqing grasping the rope with one hand and wrapping Zi'er with the other, and the emaciated figure was suspended in the air.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence on and off the trees.

Corpse Tianqing stood still and handed Zi'er, who was already stunned in his arms, to Lu Fuli.

Lu Fuli hurriedly hugged her daughter tightly, her eyes full of tears: "Zi'er, it's okay, it's okay......"

Zi'er froze in Lu Fuli's arms for a long time before she burst into tears.

"Daddy, daddy, Zi'er, Zi'er is scared to death, wow wow wow ......"

"Daddy knows, Zi'er is not afraid, not afraid-" Lu Fuli had tears in his eyes and trembled to comfort.

The father and daughter both cried on the tree.

Corpse Tianqing glanced at the tearful appearance of the two, sighed lightly, and pulled up Lu Fuli's belt, even Lu Fuli lifted Zi'er in his arms together, and his feet were in a hurry, and he ran down the tree almost vertically.

After the three of them landed, Corpse Tianqing put down the shocked Lu Fuli with a calm face, glanced at the crowd of onlookers who were all stunned and stunned, quickly confirmed the direction, and walked towards the person.

In the strange dead crowd, Hao Se looked at the yellow-faced young man who was walking towards him step by step, and felt that his throat was dry for a while-

The sunlight drifted down through the leaves, like a little bit of broken gold sprinkled between the flowing hair of the corpse, the emaciated young man was like a bamboo, walking like the wind, just like this, he walked in front of him with a bright halo that was in the spotlight, stopped, and smiled softly.

"Arthur. ”

At this moment, the river breeze is soft, the blue clouds are clear, the thousands of red petals are blooming, and the eyes are drunk for more than a year.

Forefathers...... Board...... Board...... Yes......

Hauser was completely stupid.

"Good!!"

"Little brother is amazing!!"

"Great!"

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd, followed by waves of applause and applause that drowned out the corpses and Hao Se.

"This little brother is really a master?"

"Awesome, awesome!"

"This skill is much stronger than those who walk the rivers and lakes!"

"Alas, alas, where is this little brother, who knows?!"

"I heard that it's a newly hired job by Gu Sang's sister-in-law in Sangsi Lane!"

"Oh, no wonder, Gu Sang's subordinates have always been strong generals and no weak soldiers!"

In bursts of cheers, the neighbors of Sang Si Lane stood in the center of the crowd, all smiling and honored.

Hao Se gradually came back to his senses, looked around, Sanbai's eyes couldn't help but burn, he was overjoyed, and patted the corpse Tianqing on the shoulder: "Brother corpse, you are too windy this time!"

And the corpse Tianqing, who had been stiff since everyone began to cheer, only relaxed his tense body slightly when Hao Se's palm slapped his shoulder, and he smiled slightly.

"Thank you Brother Corpse for saving your life!" Lu Fuli walked up to Corpse Tianqing with Zi'er in his arms and gave a long salute.

"Not necessarily. The corpse Tianqing hurriedly clenched his fists in return.

"Brother Corpse!"

Zi'er, who was in Lu Fuli's arms, suddenly broke free, and threw herself into the arms of the corpse Tianqing with a reflexive body.

Corpse Tianqing's eyes were round, and he hurriedly hugged the little girl in his arms.

"Brother Corpse, Zi'er thank you!" Zi'er wrapped her arms around Corpse Tianqing's neck, and her eyes were amazingly shining.

Corpse Tianqing stiffened, and looked at Hao Se with a helpless expression.

Brother Corpse is really afraid of children......

Hao Se shook his stomach and couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and rubbed Zi'er's hair vigorously: "How about it, Brother Hao didn't lie to Zi'er, isn't Brother Corpse particularly powerful?"

"Yes, Brother Corpse is the most powerful person in the world!" Zi'er replied very loudly.

"Of course!" Hao Se looked proud, his nose was high, "Brother Hao and Brother Corpse are definitely - you can catch the moon in nine days, you can catch turtles in the four seas, you can do anything, you can do anything, you can do anything, the number one superhero in the world!"

"That's right!" Zi'er echoed loudly again.

The crowd burst into laughter.

In a harmonious atmosphere, Hao Se never thought that his casual joke to coax children would become an opportunity to start the spring of his career in the Ming Dynasty.
