Stepping into the Biting Courtyard, Xie Lian asked in a low voice, "Third Young Master, did she find out?"

Xu Daoyun's expression was grim, and he shook his head and said: "I can't be sure for the time being, but I am suspicious after all, it seems that we will be more careful in the future, but I didn't expect her to have good intentions, but this is beyond my expectations." ”

Xie Lian was puzzled: "Why?"

Xu Daoyun said: "Last night, she must have noticed that something was wrong, and went back to save you and me, but she saw that those people were all killed, so she suspected me." ”

"Then she's such a good person, she's still worried about you. ”

Xu Daoyun said with a smile: "It's always right to have good intentions, after all, I call her cousin, although we don't have much friendship, but if she encounters any danger, I will also help." ”

"As it should be. ”

At this time, in another courtyard, Xu Tianhe smashed the tea cup in his hand and said angrily: "Ma Rui, this rice bucket, can't even deal with a waste." ”

The stocky young man said: "I heard the doorman say, Sister Yuan Yao also went out last night, it should be that she happened to meet, Xu Daoyun is her cousin after all, she will not sit idly by, so Ma Rui and they didn't succeed." ”

Xu Tianhe gritted his teeth and pinched the folding fan in his hand and deformed: "Count him lucky and escaped, but next time he won't have such good luck." ”

Another pretty but somewhat mean girl said: "Brother Tianhe doesn't need to be angry, it's just a waste, and he doesn't deserve to let Tianhe take it to heart." In another half a month, it will be Xiaobi, wouldn't it be better to humiliate him in front of the public?"

Xu Tianhe's frowning brows stretched out, and he sneered: "Yes, yes, yes, this waste almost made me dizzy, I don't have a hurry to repair him, and when Xiaobi starts, I will definitely let him lose face, and he will never be able to raise his head again!"

The girl said: "That's the truth, now it's important to seize the time to practice, and it's just a matter of cleaning him up." ”

......

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, February 12, and it was shocking.

Winter goes to spring, and everything recovers.

After the beginning of spring, there is rain, a spring thunder exploded, Quwo County ushered in the first spring rain of this year, dripping, misty rain.

Although it was refreshing and pleasant, it was inconvenient for Xu Daoyun to practice swords, so the number of times he went to Nanshan Cemetery during that time also decreased, but he never slacked off his practice.

Every day, before three o'clock, he would get up and practice internal practice, and then practice swordsmanship, never stopping except eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Tireless, never tired, and the spirit does not decrease but increases.

"Third Young Master, it's time to eat. Xie Lian's voice rang out.

Xu Daoyun took back the wooden sword, came to the stone table and sat down, looked at the big fish and meat on the table, and asked, "How much silver do we have left?"

Xie Lian heard him use the word "we", and his heart was happy and sweet, and he said: "There are still three taels and eighty texts left." ”

Xu Daoyun sighed and said, "Hey, this money is really not spent, how many days can three taels of silver last?"

"Three days at most. Xie Lian replied truthfully.

"Three days. Xu Daoyun clenched his left hand into a fist, lightly slapped his forehead, and said distressedly: "Where should I go to get money for wine and meat in three days?"

Xie Lian said: "The food is going to be cold, let's eat it first?"

"Okay, the day after tomorrow will be a small comparison, let's talk about earning silver taels later. After Xu Daoyun finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and swept up the clouds.

But when he heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard, he swallowed the food in his mouth, got up and opened the courtyard door.

Outside the courtyard stood a tall middle-aged man, with a straight waist like a gun, with good facial features and a heroic spirit.

Xu Daoyun said unexpectedly: "Second uncle?"

"Hmm. The middle-aged man nodded slightly, not angry.

His name is Xu Zhengde, Xu Daoyun's second uncle, although he has little contact with him, he has helped several times, and he can be regarded as a favor to Xu Daoyun.

Xu Daoyun let go of his body and said, "Why is the second uncle here?" Come in and sit." ”

Xu Zhengde shook his head and said, "I won't go in, I came today to ask you, do you plan to participate in the little comparison the day after tomorrow?"

Xu Daoyun said: "Of course, why does the second uncle ask that?"

Xu Zhengde said: "It's better that you don't participate, the sword in the ring has no eyes, danger is everywhere, and you don't know martial arts, so you're afraid of danger when you go up." ”

Xu Daoyun finally understood that Xu Zhengde came specially to let him retreat.

Xu Daoyun was moved in his heart, although Xu Zhengde had good intentions, he waited left and right, and finally waited for this opportunity to be ashamed, and he would never let it go.

So he smiled: "I have made up my mind to participate in the small competition, although the second uncle can rest assured, Dao Yun knows the severity." ”

"You've made up your mind and won't change it anymore?"

"Yes. Xu Daoyun nodded heavily.

"Good. Xu Zhengde took out a large bag of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Daoyun, saying, "Here are a hundred taels of silver, take it to buy a few clothes and jewelry for my nephew and daughter-in-law." ”

Xu Daoyun was overjoyed, took the heavy money bag and said, "Thank you, second uncle." ”

"Well, Xiaobi is not a child's play, you must be careful, I will leave. Xu Zhengde turned around and left.

Xu Daoyun saw him leave, closed the courtyard door and sat down on the stone bench, put the money bag on the stone table, and said with a smile: "It's a hundred taels, enough for us to eat big fish and meat for a year and a half, right?"

Xie Lian's eyes lit up, opened the money bag, and said in surprise: "Oh, there is a lot of money, don't worry about it now." ”

Xu Daoyun said: "The old rule, I will hand it over to you for safekeeping, and take another ten taels out, I will take you to the tailor's shop to cut two pieces of clothes, and then find a craftsman to make a pair of earrings and hairpins." ”

Xie Lian hugged the money bag and shook his head and said: "Don't, don't, just cut two sets of clothes, forget about jewelry, I don't like it." ”

"Really?"

"Don't. ”

"Okay, listen to you. ”

The two went to the tailor shop to choose fabrics, Xu Daoyun wanted the embroidery girl in the shop to sew, but Xie Lian refused to comply, saying that she could save it, and she would take these needlework back and do it slowly.

Xu Daoyun couldn't help her, so he had to agree.

The road is narrow, and as soon as I got out of the tailor's shop, I met Xu Tianhe and others, and I saw that the purse on my waist was bulging, and I should have come to procure.

"Yo, isn't this the third young master, what, come and choose the fabric?" Xu Tianhe pretended to say: "I am an acquaintance with the owner of this shop, and it can be cheaper to report my name, and the remaining broken silver is enough for you to eat a few good meals." ”

Xu Daoyun said: "Good intentions, it's just some broken silver, it doesn't matter how cheap it is." ”

Xu Tianhe was surprised: "Oh, the third young master is really generous, look at this complexion is also a lot ruddy, isn't the third young lady taking care of it thoughtfully?"

Xu Daoyun said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, if you really have the ability, let the boss return the silver to me, what's the use of a cheap one or two pennies?"
