Hu Ran went to the green pear orchard, and when he came back to find Ning Du, his face was full of anger.

"Young master, you will lie! What is there any good thing! As soon as I went to the green pear orchard, the old man took a hundred and eighty needles and pricked me, and directly pricked me into a hedgehog! I don't believe your nonsense anymore!" Hu Ran said angrily, and then his face turned full of sorrow.

"Alas, young master, that old man also wants me to stay in this Qingteng Garden, and I must not go out without permission, otherwise I will not be allowed to study from him. I wanted to leave, but I couldn't get that heart anymore. Do we really want to stay in this Qingteng Garden all the time?" Bian Shihan and Hu Ran were in order to seal the fluctuations of vitality in her body, not to let Hu Ran go out, but also to protect her.

Ning Du looked at the ice surface of Firefly Lake in a daze, and only noticed Hu Ran after a long time, and said a little stupidly: "What are you talking about?"

"I'll go!" Hu Ran shouted at the top of his voice, for fear that Ning Du wouldn't be able to hear it.

"Where are you going?"

"Go home!"

"Didn't Bian teach you here?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why go home?"

Hu Ran glanced at Ning Du with disdain and said, "Young Master, aren't you really stupid?

"Oh, I have to go home and move things. ”

Everything else is easy to say, but Hu Ran's silver tickets and various bills are something she can't leave anywhere, she must take care of them firmly, otherwise she will have trouble sleeping, and she will not be able to do anything, and this thing must be done by herself.

Ning Du agreed, and then fell into deep thought again.

"Alas!" Hu Ran sighed to himself and pulled Ning Du forward.

The two swords shown by Shang Chonggu are both "flying flowers without shadows", but they are two different abilities, one is faster than a broken lake, and the other is an irresistible illusion. If he can really comprehend these two swords, then Ning Du will have some confidence in facing any mountain realm.

But how can these two swords be so easy to learn?

"How can I be unrestrained, unrestrained, unrestrained...... Ning Du's mind kept reminding Shang Chonggu of the flow of vitality when he used his sword moves, carefully pondering every detail, and the vitality in his hand condensed and dispersed, condensed and dispersed......

Hu Ran opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside nostalgically, I am afraid that she will not have a chance to see it again for a long time after that.

"Young master, it's snowing!"

As the sky grew darker, light snow began to fall from the sky.

Ning Du only cared about the sword, and didn't hear what Hu Ran said, let alone notice the snow outside the window. Hu Ran saw that the young master didn't pay attention to himself, so he leaned on the window and quietly looked at the snow outside.

The carriage stopped at Gualiu Hutong, Ning Du got out of the carriage, looked up, and asked suspiciously, "Why is it snowing?"

"It's been going on for a while. Hu Ran said with a roll of his eyes, and didn't care about Ning Du, and went straight home to pack her treasures. Ning Du didn't have anything to take, so he took two clothes and waited for Hu Ran at the door.

In a matter of moments, a thin layer of snow fell on the ground.

Ning Du looked at the snow that gradually overlapped with the night and was stunned.

"Let's go, young master!" Hu Ran went back and forth more than a dozen times, and the coachman found another carriage to pull it away. Ning Du still didn't hear Hu Ran's words, and became a snowman.

Hu Ran couldn't help laughing, stood on tiptoe to help Ning Du stroke the snow above his head, dusted off the snow on his shoulder, and waved it in front of Ning Du's eyes with his hand.

Ning Du looked at Hu Ran and smiled.

"Let's go, young master. Although Hu Ran was reluctant to move to Qingteng Garden to live temporarily for a while, as long as she could stay with the young master, she could still accept it.

"Okay, let's go. "Ning Du could have stayed at home for another night, and he wouldn't be too harsh if he wanted to come to the business to teach him, but he still wanted to go to Qingteng Garden.

Spiritual practice is difficult for some people, but it is also fun for others.

Ning Du exhaled a breath of heat, boarded the carriage, and drove towards the Qingteng Garden. On the way, I had a meal with Hu Ran at a sheep soup restaurant on the side of the road, wrapped my clothes tightly, and went to Qingteng Garden.

"Young master, there seems to be a person at the door. Hu Ran stood at the mouth of the alley and looked in, and saw a vague figure under the lantern at the door from a distance, with a thick layer of snow on his body, and he really couldn't identify this person if he didn't look carefully.

Ning Du was thinking about his sword all the way, and he only looked forward after Hu Ran reminded him.

"How could there be anyone?" asked Hu Ran suspiciously, and walked forward with Ning Du.

A middle-aged man of about fifty years of age, wearing a fur hat with multiple stitching marks on his head, a blue-black cotton jacket with blackened cotton exposed by holes on it, and a pair of single shoes on his feet. He was lying at the door of the Qingteng Garden, holding his hands in front of his chest, and there was a straw stick with a string of rock sugar gourds in his arms, his legs curled up, the whole person shrunk into a ball, his face was blue, and he didn't know whether he fell asleep or fainted from the cold.

Ning Du stepped forward, tested the uncle's body temperature, and quickly rubbed it on his body. After a moment, the uncle's face softened slightly.

"Hey, wake up, stay here any longer, you're going to freeze to death. Hu Ran shook the other party and said in his ear.

Lao Zhao, who had an honest face, slowly opened his eyes, first saw a faint light, and then slowly saw Ning Du and Hu Ran, and said instinctively: "This young master and young lady, do you want to buy a string of rock sugar gourds? This year's new hawthorn has gone to the core, and this year's new sesame seeds are all fried fragrantly, and the sugar is also new sugar from the south." The rock sugar gourd made is definitely the first-class in our heavenly capital, do you want the young master and the young lady to buy a bunch?" This set of rhetoric was thought of by him with great effort, and he didn't know how many times he said it in a day, and he was already familiar with it, otherwise he really couldn't say it with his stupid mouth.

However, when Lao Zhao was about to take down a string of rock sugar gourds with his frozen hands, he found that the snow had fallen on the rock sugar gourds, no matter how good he was, I was afraid that he would not be able to sell them, so he was completely stunned, and Gu Zi muttered: "How is this good, how is this good......

"It turns out that you are a rock candy gourd seller. Hu Ran finally understood, and remembered that he had slept in the joint in the middle of winter many times, and he couldn't help but feel sour. She took out ten taels of silver from her bosom and said, "I'll buy a bunch." ”

Lao Zhao originally saw that his things were covered by snow, and his heart sank to the extreme, but when he heard that Hu Ran wanted to buy it, he suddenly felt hopeful, but he was stunned when he saw the ten taels of silver. He poked the ground with a straw stick and struggled to his feet, ready to leave the place immediately.

"Wait, if you want to buy your rock sugar gourd, why are you leaving?" Hu Ran grabbed Lao Zhao and stuffed the ten taels of silver into his arms.

"How can this be done? My rock sugar gourd is not worth so much money! Besides, the snow has fallen on this rock sugar gourd, and I am all to blame, and I can't sell it to you, Miss!" Lao Zhao's face turned red, and he didn't accept Hu Ran's ten taels of silver.

"I said I'll buy it! I'll take it if you give it to you!" I bought this rock sugar gourd!" Hu Ran grabbed the straw stick full of rock sugar gourd and didn't let Lao Zhao leave.

"No, no, no, this can't work!" Of course, the old man refused to sell, he would never be able to do such a conscientious thing. But he couldn't think of anything, so he just shook his head and protected his rock sugar gourd.

Ning Du stepped forward and shook the old man's hand and said, "We don't just buy this day, but buy every day after this." You can take these ten taels of silver, and come and send us a rock sugar gourd every day in the future. ”

"Yes, you can just send it to me every day from now on!"

Lao Zhao was stunned for a moment, thought about it again, looked at Ning Du and Hu Ran, and was speechless for a while. When he had ever been shaken by such a well-dressed person, and when had he been so respected, this kind of equal treatment alone was a kindness to him, not to mention the ten taels of silver.

"My name is Hu Ran, if you come in the future, tell the doorman and let them send me in!" Hu Ran took off a rock sugar gourd, clicked and bit it open, and ate it happily.

Lao Zhao couldn't think of any words of thanks, just looked at Ning Du and Hu Ran.

"Okay, uncle, you should go home early, it's a cold day. Hu Ran waved his hand and prepared to enter the Ivy Garden.

Ning Du also took a string of rock sugar gourds and walked into the Qingteng Garden with Hu Ran.

Lao Zhao stood in place for a moment, then knelt down and kowtowed, before slowly disappearing in the wind and snow.

Ten taels of silver may be nothing for Hu Ran now, but for an ordinary family who has been suffering from hunger for many years, it means that he can continue to live. A string of rock sugar gourds is only a penny, and a full 10,000 strings of rock sugar gourds can be sold for ten taels of silver, which is something that Lao Zhao can't even think of. However, he only needs to remember one thing - no matter what happens, he will come and deliver a string of rock sugar gourds every day from now on.

Hu Ran said while eating the rock sugar gourd: "Young master, in fact, I used to be like this a lot, I have no place to live and nothing to eat. "Don't ask, Lao Zhao, who sells rock sugar gourds, must have a stomach full of bitterness, otherwise he wouldn't have slept at the door of Qingteng Garden because of selling rock sugar gourds on this snowy day.

"Hmm. ”

"It's really bitter to think about it! Fortunately, I met you, young master!" Hu Ran turned his head to look at Ning Du and smiled happily.

Ning Du also smiled and said, "Actually, that old man has a very high talent in cultivation, if he could practice since he was a child, it should be completely different now." ”

"Ah, why don't you tell him, young master, or let him come to Qingteng Garden?"

Ning Du only laughed and did not reply to Hu Ran's words.

If Ning Du hadn't met Nanxing back then, maybe his fate would have been completely different from now, but there is no if in this world, everyone has everyone's life.

"Young Master, aren't you going back to sleep?"

"I'll go to Firefly Lake for a while. ”

"I'll go with you. ”

The light snow turned into heavy snow, covering Ning Du and Hu Ran.
