Zuo Yixiao said: "Anyway, I've already said it, there won't be this store in this village." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
The monk pulled Zuo Yixiao and said: "The old monk is pressed for time, so I don't have so many worries, this time the little donor helped me drink good wine, ...... As for this repayment, I must remember, hehe......"
Zuo Yixiao pulled his lips and smiled: "Master, even if you go to drink, you don't have to remember this little thing." β
"Thank you, little brother. β
The monk smiled with a smile on his face, changed his lazy and decadent appearance, held the jar on his shoulder, and ran away, suddenly disappearing. Zuo Yixiao picked up the sword and fish basket on his back, raised his eyebrows, and was secretly happy in his heart.
"The fight between the old man and the stinky monk must be very interesting, heh. β
I wanted to go there and practice my moves again, but it's okay to delay for a while. Let this old monk go to explore the truth first, maybe the old man didn't meet, and he can really taste the sweetness, but just those two "little white faces", I'm afraid he won't be so easy to fool the past. I've been hungry for so long, so I'd better go home and eat first, otherwise the old woman will be there.......
At the west hill, next to the plane tree. It is close to the middle and upper reaches of the river, and there are far fewer people living here than downstream. A single square courtyard wooden house, sitting north and facing south. The two sandalwood rooms and the furnace room in the courtyard are next to each other, and the outer wall of the main house is planted with some golden cherry blossoms, and the white flowers are lovely. On the other side, the room was locked, there was no light in the room, and there was a faint smell of wine. The sycamore tree is planted by the river not far from the wooden house, about 20 feet, it is the end of early spring, and it has borne the sycamore branches and buds, and the pedicle is three or four inches long. There are some blue silk tied on the branches, which are hidden in the leaves, which is quite elegant.
Zuo Yixiao threw the sword box to the other side of the sycamore tree. The brown cloth rope hung right on the branches, and the dark green blocked the box. I could only hear a few broken leaves. The corners of his mouth lifted, and he walked home. "Old womanβis the meal ready?"
"-Stinky boy! It's past noon, and you still know how to go home?"
In front of the door, an apricot-colored skirt rose with the wind, with brisk steps, and her hair was half tied up, still very black and bright. A pair of tender willow eyebrows, two graceful and pretty apricot eyes, a tall nose bridge, red lips and white teeth, and the charm still exists. A woman of this age is rarely clear, and her bones are full of unique brilliance.
"Okay, okay, didn't you come back a little late?" Zuo Yixiao stepped forward.
"Hmph, don't think that you kid doesn't know what to do all day. Say, where are you going to make trouble for me again?" Meng Xiying shook the apron tied around her waist, showing off her slender hands, which was very good-looking.
Look, I caught a few fish for Brother Li and sent them...... Don't always put on my head, no. Zuo Yixiao muttered.
"When have you been so obedient, heh, it can't be that you have done something bad and want to atone for your merits, right?"
"Hey...... It's okay if I'm wrong, I'll be scolded by you for doing something good, I'm also working hard every day, so I'll put my heart at ease. Zuo Yixiao grabbed Meng Xiying's cuffs with a helpless expression.
"Cheng, then the old lady will settle the liquidation with you. In the past two days, I ordered some wine from Tanfang, and there was one jar missing. Don't tell me again, what kind of rat hairy monkey came to our house to steal wine and drink, I caught the beast on the ground, and none of it was broken! How are you going to explain it to your mother?" Meng Xiying said, Zuo Yixiao was caught off guard.
"Isn't it...... When did you find out......" Zuo Yixiao covered half of his face and muttered to himself. Meng Xiying saw through it at a glance and pulled Zuo Yixiao's ears.
Zuo Yixiao said bitterly: "Ahhh
"Do you know it's wrong, don't do anything all day, see if you dare next time!" Meng Xiying let go of her hand and said a few more words. When he calmed down, he turned around and walked into the house, "Okay - next time I come back so late, I won't give you heat when the food is cold!"
Zuo Yixiao said softly: "Old woman, you know that I ......"
Halfway to the dinner table. Zuo Yixiao was hungry like a wolf gnawing on rice, Meng Xiying took a look at the dishes in the bowl and asked, "Have you been to Mr. Tian's study that you told you a few days ago?"
When Zuo Yixiao heard this, he almost squirted out of his rice. Recently, a teacher was invited to the village, and he said that he was from a clerical family, and his mother still had to let herself learn those literary things. "Oh, I'm not pretty good right now, what are you studying?"
"Let you read some books now, and I can find you something to do in the future, you see that you are idle now, you can't go on like this for the rest of your life, is it difficult to wait for the future to regret it?......."
When Zuo Yixiao heard this, his head grew again. Every time my mother says that!
β..... It's not that I'm playful, I don't want to read those books that shake my head, and you don't allow me to learn martial arts, I can't do anything by myself......." Meng Xiying heard it and blamed: "You kid, what's wrong with letting you understand more truth." How can I say that my mother has lived a knife life for a few years before, just relying on your three or two ways, how can you be worthy of the sinister world?"
Zuo Yixiao gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice: "I always scare people with my old things in the rivers and lakes....... Let me just look at Old Man Tian's cassava face, and sleep well at night?......" Meng Xiying sighed, turned around and asked, "You went out early a few days ago, came back very late, and didn't go to the study, what did you do?"
"I ...... How big is Lanshan, it's normal to not see me for a while......" Zuo Yixiao was stunned.
"You don't have to hide it from me, are you going to peek at other people's martial arts?" Meng Xiying hooked the corner of her mouth.
β...... That stinky old man's temper is more stubborn than a cow, I thought about learning before, but he wouldn't teach, why should I go anywhere to find myself bored. Zuo Yixiao took a few bites of rice.
"Heh, this is also - your monkey head has always been arrogant, I never thought that when you were a child, you peeked at other people's unique cheats and was discovered, and you suffered a loss of two feet, according to your bookkeeping skills, I'm afraid it will not be easy to turn over~" Meng Xiying smiled secretly, there are few things that can make this kid's heart blocked.
Zuo Yixiao clutched his chopsticks, and his knuckles "gurgled". When I think of this, I am inexplicably angry. Ten years ago, the stinky old man kicked me out of the door, warned myself not to practice martial arts, and cried myself. This old man is really the first person who can make himself cry, how can he forget it. "This old ghost ......." Zuo Yixiao thought about it again, and smiled at Niangyin, "Don't worry, this stinky rooster won't be angry for long." β
Meng Xiying said: "What? Do you still want to touch the ashes?"
Zuo Yixiao leaned over his face and said softly: "Your son is resourceful and clever, this guy will have to suffer sooner or later, I don't believe you wait, in less than a day, he will definitely be jumping there-" Meng Xiying said softly: "Son, what do you think he has done strangely recently?"
β....... Not really. Zuo Yixiao put down the chopsticks and said, "Huh-old woman, what do you mean by this?"
Meng Xiying raised her head and raised her eyebrows: "When I went out in the past two days, I always saw the two boys beside him in the village. It's weird, he doesn't go out of the door, and those two boys don't come out so often on weekdays. Weirdos, weirdos, weird thingsβ"
When Zuo Yixiao heard this, his eyes darkened. It didn't rain for the past two days....... Could it be that the old man ordered the two little white faces to do something good? But counting the time, the old monk should have arrived...... The corners of Zuo Yixiao's mouth lifted and said, "Old woman, I have something to do, so I won't eat it yet." With that, Zuo Yixiao turned over the bench and pulled out his legs and went out.
"Hey-why are you going?" As soon as Meng Xiying turned around, Zuo Yixiao disappeared, a few grains of rice were scattered on the table, and one chopstick fell to the ground. Meng Xiying frowned, and lost her appetite. His eyes rolled and he said in a low voice, "Could it be that the old ghost is hiding some treasure?" As soon as he touched his jade cheeks, his fingertips rubbed, and his red plum lips were bent by half.
Zuo Yixiao took the sword that Brother Li gave him, tied it to his body, and thought that his feet would be faster, so he walked around the path. The southeast of the Hidden Orchid Stream. At the end of the road, in the middle of the canyon. At the end of the stream, a spring pond flows into a pond, and a winding square wooden bridge leads to the grassland. The fish shadows in the water are swaying, the lotus flowers are delicate and jade, and the green willows in the depression are shaking the wind. Crossing the wooden bridge, two bamboo houses stand side by side in front of you. Although it is a little simple, the sill bar is straight, and there is a primrose on both sides of the staircase in front of the house, and the small pink flowers are quite common, but they are beautiful and refined under this kind of scenery. The stone path next to the house leads to the bamboo house deep in the forest. The weather is very good, and there are many flowers and plants in the valley, which adds a lot of color. If you sniff in, you can smell the scent of orchids in the slightly damp earth. Walking slowly across the wooden bridge, in front of me, there are dense bamboos on both sides of the stone path, and the fog is damp.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the bamboo house, there was a familiar sound of footsteps in his ears.
Zuo Yixiao's eyes tightened, and he instantly disappeared behind the rock. Probed slightly, I saw two people coming from the wooden bridge. In each hand, he carried three taels of miscellaneous items, among which there was a wooden box in the shape of a sword box, but it was slightly wider, and there were three red jade embedded in the neck of the box, which was somewhat interesting.
"You set these things up first, and I'll go and inform the master. β
Under the willow branches, the black hair of the man in the royal blue robe was curled with some fluff. The wind slowly blew on his clean face, and under the two sword eyebrows, the clarity in his eyes was more feminine. Xiao Xiao is solemn, handsome and clear. The black wrist clasped the slender white hand, and took out a hemp paper bag from behind him. "A few days ago, it was raining, and the mountains were damp and stuffy - the sun was hot, I remember two days. β
Walking lightly without leaving dust, and lowering the eyes of the dark tide to cross. The person behind Min Zhe wore black hair and shoulders, and his sideburns were tied to the back half of the spoon, which was casual. He wears a white tight shirt, light boots, and a black iron sword in his hand. It was only six feet away from him, and the slight chill cast by his sideways eyes made the wind a little fast.
"Hmm. Yan Jue coldly took the package, and the cheeks beside his lips were flat like rulers, leaving traces of affection. Suddenly, he turned around, and there was some wariness in his eyes. Zuo Yixiao hid behind the rocks under the hexagonal pavilion and did not move.
Min Zhe glanced at it a few times and said, "What's the matter? Master is still waiting." Yan Jue came back to his senses, walked around the side of the house, and walked straight away, and soon there was no one. There was a path, and I don't know where it leads.
Min Zhe's gaze stayed for a while, and then he looked at the bamboo forest, pointed with his left hand, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the long hair tied up was sprinkled. The sword shone with a sharp silver light, sharp as a thread, and made a light sound. The sword light illuminates the layers of bamboo, and the bamboo leaves rustle. With a flick of his fingers, the sword returned to its scabbard. The bamboo forest shook a little, and slowly walked up the stone path, which quickly dimmed again.
"Didn't the monk come?" Zuo Yixiao thought secretly, and folded the reed grass in his mouth, "....... On weekdays, they should have just left the house, right, they are not going to move....... What the hell is this old man doing? No matter, let's go and see first. β
The bamboo forest in front of him was set up by the old man himself, although it looks quiet and elegant from the outside, but there is a lot of mystery inside. Since he peeked at the cheats when he was a child, in order to prevent people from sneaking in, the old man skillfully made three bamboo arrows on the side of the bamboo forest at a distance of seven steps from the stone path. If outsiders don't know it, if they take seven steps, when the arrow is fired, a stream of air left in the middle will immediately attack people with bamboo leaves, like a hidden weapon. Although it won't hurt your life, it will be entangled inside, and it will hurt you a few times with a few whips from bamboo leaves.
Zuo Yixiao smiled, tightened the sword on his body, skillfully jumped between the two door bamboos, the left one flipped, his feet were on the three green bamboo arrows rushing in front of him, his left leg kicked the one next to him, and flew over the gap, which happened to be ten steps long, and he was on a long bamboo.
Outside the stone path behind him, a woolen cloth monk's shoe stepped on the upside-down wine jar and lit it interestingly.
Looking around, I saw Min Zhe open the door and enter, before he landed. The ground is slightly wet, and there are many dense bamboos around it, covering half of the sky, which looks a little dark. The bamboo house in front of him is not much bigger than the residence of Yun Zhe and the others, and the outside of the house is surrounded by cut bamboo. Looking at a few bamboos from a distance, a small square chrysanthemum was planted.
Zuo Yixiao's eyes lit up and walked over. Squatting down, fingertips lightly tapping the tender chrysanthemum petals. This was planted by the old man ten years ago. The stinky old man loves chrysanthemums and green bamboos the most, and I heard my mother say that when he first came here, he only brought a few chrysanthemum seeds and a few bamboo shoots. Once, I watched him hold a wooden tube under the tree, puff up some water, and gently sprinkle it in the dirt, which is rare and delicate. If it weren't for the haste of reading the cheats and stepping on a few trees, maybe the old man wouldn't be so angry.
Zuo Yixiao was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. Seeing this, Zuo Yixiao quickly hid in the corner next to the house. Behind this wall stood three shelves, each with two or three jars of wine. Zuo Yixiao stuck his feet back and pounced on the smell of wine.
The old monk hadn't even come yet.
"Heheβdid you see him? No wonder he wouldn't come. This voice was sharp, and Zuo Yixiao muttered when he heard it. It seems that the person is wearing a gray feather shirt, and Ling Ran is solemn. The sideburns hang down in front of the neck, a black beard under the nose, and the lips are long to the neck. The black hair is silver and white, just looking at his back, like a corner of the snow peak, cold and arrogant.
"That senior hasn't seen the master face to face for a long time, and if he really comes, it will be embarrassing to look at each other without saying a word. Min Zhe chuckled.
"Not really. You don't know that he has never been unruly, but he has to rely on his own temperament. He is thick-skinned and tight-skinned, and it is the same when he is old, and he can't change it. Scold. Looking at the bamboo forest in the distance, he thought for a while, and then said, "....... I didn't have any trouble going down the mountain this time. β
Min Zhe's words sank a little, and said, "Except for this....... There wasn't much of a mess. He casually took out a silver dart-like sharp weapon from his blue shirt and handed it over. Zuo Yixiao was a little farther away, but he could faintly see a layer of red dark marks on the sharp blade of the thing in his hand, flickering against the sun. I thought to myself, no wonder the old woman said that she saw them in the village, it turned out that the old man had sent two people down the mountain in the past few days, and he had carried so many packages....... Could it be that he really went to rob some treasure? Zuo Yixiao thought of this, his eyes were surging. Hmph, it seems that this old man is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
With a slight glance, he raised the blade higher, wiped the red winger with two fingers of his right hand, and said sarcastically, "....... Predictable. Sure enough, they won't give up after all. β
Min Zhe lowered his head, clenched the brown sheath long sword in his hand, and said softly: "Master, the disciples and their party have been more cautious, and I don't know how they found it." β
"Since we can arrive at the same time as you, we must have planned it for a long time. Oh, counting the time, the heat they pinched is really accurate....... However, I didn't let down the man's hard work. With a sneer, he took the curling dart and stretched it into his wide robe. Quietly look at a few broken leaves on the stone path.
Min Zhe said: "I'm afraid they won't let the tiger return to the mountain easily." β
"The donkey is poor, I can't find your trace for a while, and I have to block the mouth of Youyou, this time I should be safer. "The man is very thoughtful, and what he wants will be foolproof and justified." β
Min Zhe frowned, and the two strands of hair on his forehead rose with the wind. Zuo Yixiao looked aside, curious and disdainful. This old man has always had a lot of eyes, but it is a villain to snatch people's treasures, seeing that he does not go out of the door on weekdays, leisurely and elegant, I didn't expect this face to be so unbearable. But....... The treasure that can make this old man think about it and do everything possible to get it is definitely not an ordinary product. "Since this treasure was stolen, it doesn't matter if you steal it again......."
Zuo Yixiao lightly picked up and covered his hair, and made a plan to follow the vine and touch the melon in his heart.
