The stone was equivalent to being carried away by Bai Xue and Zi Ling, and I don't know why the second daughter was so nervous, so she walked out of Rouge Willow Lane in one breath before letting him go. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
And the stone, which had just regained its freedom, inadvertently turned its head.
"Oops, hey! Stone Headache exclaimed.
His face was distorted, and he bared his teeth in pain, only because Bai Xue and Zi Ling grabbed one of his ears and forcibly broke his head back.
"Don't look at it!" the two girls said in unison, both with unquestionable determination.
"I can't see it, can't I turn my head?" the stone was very aggrieved and puzzled.
"That's not going to work either. Bai Xue said in a slight tone and let go of her hand.
"Senior sister, if you pull it again, it will fall. The stone faced the purple spirit, and his face was full of pain.
Seeing this, Zi Ling didn't speak, but just rubbed it hard again, and then let go.
Stone squatted on the ground with a painful face, rubbing his ears with his hands incessantly, and screaming "ah" and "oh" in his mouth.
It was getting late, and many people had already lit the lanterns in front of the door, but the three of them did not return to the inn, but under the leadership of Zi Ling, they turned all the way to a narrow and quiet alley.
As far as the eye can see, this alley is full of ordinary residents, but in front of the stone trio is a specially converted shop.
It's just that this shop is not big, and it looks like it is quite old, and there is a plaque with the inscription "Nine Silk-Cutting Satin Village" hanging on the wooden door of a long time.
However, what is unbelievable is that the material of this plaque is the same black golden silk nanmu as the "Feng Accord".
Bai Xue looked up, looked at the shop in front of her, and showed a thoughtful expression, she couldn't understand how there could be a silk village in such a residential alley, and the plaque was so precious, compared to the whole house, it was not as valuable as this plaque.
Of course, the stone couldn't see any golden silk nanmu, and he didn't bother to care where he was now, but he snorted twice from time to time, obviously resentful.
And not long ago, because of Bai Xue's words, Zi Ling collected all the large and small things hanging on the stone with a wave of his hand.
Yes, all of them were gone, and the stone was stupid on the spot, and then Bai Xue told him that Zi Ling had a special magic weapon for storage, and then he suddenly realized.
But it is precisely because of this that Shi Shi has a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over, and when he thinks of the sin he suffered this day, he only hates that he can't beat Zi Ling, and he is so aggrieved that he can't do it.
"Stone, let's go in and have a look!" Bai Xue looked at the silk village in front of her, her eyes full of brilliance and curiosity.
"Huh?" the stone snapped.
"Come in with me. Bai Xue grabbed the arm of the stone and walked into the silk village impatiently.
Shi Ben still had some resentment, but when he felt the softness from his arm, his heart fluttered, and he immediately threw all the offends he had suffered a day out of his mind, and shook his hugged arm intentionally or unintentionally, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
Entering the silk village, the house was empty, not to mention people, even the silk and satin cloth did not see a star.
Bai Xue's face was full of confusion, and she turned her head to look at Zi Ling, who had just entered the door, her eyes blinking, very cute.
Zi Ling smiled back, but he didn't say anything, just stood quietly in place, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and I saw a kind old man walking out from behind a wooden door.
As soon as the old man appeared, like everyone else, his gaze swept over the stone, and then he was shocked by Bai Xue and Zi Ling's worldly appearance, and his movements slowed down, and he was out of his mind.
"Ahem!" Stone coughed softly.
He had already guessed the look of the visitor by the sudden pause of footsteps, and then coughed lightly as a reminder.
The old man was startled when he heard this, and immediately came back to his senses, he knew that he was rude, so he hurriedly bowed his head and asked respectfully.
"The old man's surname is Yuan, I don't know what you are doing here?"
"This is the Silk Village, guess what we're here for?" the stone teased deliberately.
"This boy is really humorous, but if the three of them come to buy cloth or make clothes, they will run for nothing. The old man surnamed Yuan said apologetically.
"Oh, are you driving away guests?"
"Childe is serious, I think Childe also sees that the old decay is empty here, obviously not doing business anymore, and I hope to bear with me. ”
The stone opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Zi Ling's words.
"Why did the Silk Village degenerate like this?" Zi Ling asked.
The old man surnamed Yuan was slightly stunned, but quickly calmed down.
"It seems that the girl is someone who has heard of the glorious past of our nine silk and satin villages, and she is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
"I asked why Silk Village was like this?"
"It's a long story, and I'm ashamed to say it, please forgive the old man for not being able to tell him directly, but the old man doesn't hide it from the girl, from now on, there will be no nine silk and satin cuts in Lucheng, the plaque outside the door, it will be removed later, if the three are tailor-made, I can only forgive the old man for saying sorry. The old man surnamed Yuan said, showing a trace of pain and helplessness on his face.
"Yuan Jiuke is still alive?" Zi Ling suddenly realized, his expression moved, and he asked.
The old man surnamed Yuan was shocked when he heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Zi Ling with an incredible gaze, but he opened his mouth but forgot to speak.
"If Yuan Jiu hadn't died, he would have bothered to go in and spread the word that an old man had come to visit and asked him for three pieces of clothing. Zi Ling said flatly.
The old man surnamed Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and walked behind the door.
In the hall, there was an eerie silence at this time, and I saw Bai Xue's eyes widen and staring at Zi Ling without blinking.
Similarly, the stone was also facing the purple spirit, and the friction on his arm stopped for a while.
"Sister Zi, who is Yuan Jiu? Do you know each other? Have you been here before? And what about those three clothes?" Bai Xue couldn't help but be curious and asked.
"I met a little tailor a long time ago and asked him to customize three clothes. Zi Ling said lightly.
"How long is it?" asked Bai Xue.
"Eighty years ago. Zi Ling groaned and replied.
When the stone heard this, his mouth grew in shock.
"Eighty years ago, then this Yuan Jiu was also a cultivator?" Bai Xue wondered.
"It's not. Zi Ling said.
"Oh, as an ordinary person, he must be old now, alas, Sister Zi, you haven't told me how you met, and what about those three clothes?" Bai Xue let go of the stone and ran over and hugged Zi Ling's arm.
"It's a long story. ”
"That's a long story short. ”
"I don't want to say anything short. ”
"Oh, tell me what your relationship is?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
"I don't believe it. ”
"Believe it or not, nosy!"
Bai Xue was a little depressed, looked at Zi Ling stupidly, gently stuck out the tip of her tongue, and then muttered to herself.
"A hundred-year-old woman has known an ordinary man of a human race for eighty years, and there must be something wrong with this, something big. ”
"Oops!" Bai Xue exhaled in pain.
"In the future, stay less with stones, it will bring bad to your thoughts. Zi Ling pinched Bai Xue's waist with one hand, and he didn't have a good airway.
"Sister Zi, let go, I'm going to die of pain. Bai Xue bent down and begged for mercy.
"Hmph!" Zi Ling snorted coldly, and twisted it again before letting go.
After Bai Xue regained his freedom, how dare he continue to stay by Zi Ling's side, rubbing his waist while stepping on small steps to hide behind the stone.
"If I dare to stick out my tongue or roll my eyes, I will cut out his tongue and gouge out his eyes. Zi Ling said coldly.
The stone was shocked, he just stood there and didn't do anything, didn't say anything, and actually lay down the gun inexplicably, and couldn't help but be frightened, his face was full of horror.
The three of them waited for almost a cup of tea, but they still didn't see the old man surnamed Yuan appear again, and they didn't know if he had gone to pass the word or went to sleep.
"Senior sister, this house shouldn't be bigger than our Baicao Garden, right? Even if it is, it won't take so long to spread the word!" Shi became a little impatient.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door slowly opened.
"The three of you have been waiting for a long time, please come with me!"
The old man surnamed Yuan finally reappeared, but there was a hint of displeasure in his words, although he was extremely restrained, he was still felt by the stone.
Zi Ling naturally noticed the change in the tone of the old man surnamed Yuan before and after, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything, and took the lead in following.
The three of them walked through the wooden door, and then, under the leadership of the old man surnamed Yuan, they turned two corners one after another, and finally stopped in a small courtyard.
The courtyard is small and square, and when you look up, you can see the moon and the starry sky, and in the corner of the courtyard there is an old man with gray hair who is lying quietly on a wicker chair, as if he has fallen asleep.
The three of them waited quietly for a long time, and the white-haired old man seemed to sense that someone was coming, first moving his fingers, and then slowly opening his eyes.
However, when the white-haired old man saw the purple spirit standing in front, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he sat up straight.
"Daddy. ”
Seeing this, the old man surnamed Yuan, who led the way for the three stones, hurriedly ran forward, knelt aside and supported, and his voice was a little choked.
The white-haired old man gave the old man surnamed Yuan who was kneeling beside him a look, and the latter hesitated, but after the white-haired old man gave him a second look, he had to obediently get up and leave.
When the old man surnamed Yuan passed by the three stones, he paused, stopped talking, and finally left only a sigh.
"The benefactor is really a god in the world, he hasn't seen him for 80 years, but he still looks like he was back then, and his demeanor is still victorious, but Yuan Jiu has changed from a beautiful young man to today's wind and candle in his last years, I thought that I would never see my benefactor again in this life, but I didn't expect to see it before I died, Yuan Jiu died without regrets. The white-haired old man got up with difficulty, bowed to Zi Ling, and sighed.
"Can you still make clothes?" Zi Ling asked lightly, his expression a little moved.
"Hahaha......"
When the white-haired old man who called himself Yuan Jiu heard this, he laughed for no reason, and that hearty laugh seemed to have returned to the time when he was nineteen years old.
