Time goes day by day, the cold winter will eventually pass, the days are gradually getting warmer, and even one day when Ye Jianan walked out of the house, he had seen the peach tree in front of the house, which had begun to sprout green sprouts, the snow in the peach blossom village also began to melt, and the frozen river also thawed day by day until it resumed flowing.

Suddenly, I heard Granny Gu in the house, "Oops! With a sound, Ye Jianan and Xiao Song hurriedly rushed into the room, but saw Granny Gu standing in the middle of the house, beside her, there were several places of stagnant water, and above the stagnant water, there were drops of water dripping down, Ye Jianan looked up, corresponding to the stagnant water on the top of the house, there were several gaps, it turned out that the heavy snow had already pressed the felt on the roof of Granny Gu, and the cracks were opened, but it was cold at that time, and the snow on the roof had turned into ice, so I didn't notice that it didn't leak into the house until the weather warmed up today, and the snow melted. Granny Gu looked up at the leaking roofs and looked worried, "What can I do about this, the former Qin bricklayer in the village left the village at the end of last year, and he hasn't come back yet, here, where can I find someone to repair it now." Granny Gu was worried, but she heard a voice next to her, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will fix it." Granny Gu turned her head and saw that it was Zhao Xiaosong who spoke.

Ye Jianan Qi said, "You will do this?" Zhao Xiaosong was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "In the past, my house often leaked, and I made up for it every day, and it will be done." Granny Gu said happily, "This will trouble you." Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong went out and came to the grocery store in the village, only to find that there were a lot of people who bought felt. Seeing that it was not yet noon, Ye Jianan asked Xiao Song how long it would take to repair it, and after hearing Xiao Song say that it was about two hours, he said, "Xiao Song, let's finish repairing my mother-in-law's house as soon as possible, so that the house will not be wet at night." Xiao Song nodded yes, and the two of them said they would do it, borrowed a bamboo ladder, etc., and the two climbed to the roof, just beginning to repair, only to find that the original felt had aged and not looked good. With a slight pull, they all cracked.

Ye Jianan frowned and said, "Why is it so unstable, can this live in people?" He just said casually, but Komatsu said, "This is not bad, like some houses in the village, they are only built with thatch." In this way, winter is not in the way, but it is a rainy day, and it rains heavily outside the house and light rain inside the house. His voice lowered, "That's how it is in my house. Ye Jianan asked, "Why don't you use felt?" Xiao Song glanced at Ye Jianan, and seeing that he looked puzzled, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "A piece of felt is five yuan, and if you want to spread the whole house, it will take more than ten pieces of felt, and it will cost almost five taels of silver." He lowered his head slightly, and said softly, a little embarrassed, "The felt I bought just now has already spent all my money." ”

Ye Jianan sighed secretly in his heart, just now in the grocery store, he saw that Xiao Song paid, so he didn't care much, he has never had a time when he ran out of money since he was a child, whether it was in the Xuanqing Sect or in the Tiger Gang, it was always as much as he asked, someone would send it, and it would only be more, not less. Looking at Komatsu's wry face, he took out a gold ingot from his arms, still gave it to Komatsu, and said, "Go buy felt." By the way, let's get a pot of wine, and we'll drink it after we've finished our work in a while. ”

Xiao Song was cold and threw a hard thing in his arms, but he was frightened, and looked down to see a gold ingot, lying in his arms. He was stunned all of a sudden, and said dumbfounded, "This, this, Brother Ye, how much felt do you want to buy." Ye Jianan frowned and said, "Stupid! I replaced all the felt on the roof of my mother-in-law's house. Do the math yourself, how much you want to buy. Seeing Xiao Song's hesitation, Ye Jianan shouted, "Don't go yet?" ”

Xiao Song smiled bitterly, "Brother Ye, you have a gold ingot, go and buy more than ten pieces of felt, they, their grocery store can't afford this money." Hearing this, Ye Jianan groped in his arms for a long time, and finally found a relatively small piece of broken silver, and still gave it to Xiao Song, "By the way, buy all the felt on the roof of your house, and when you are done with your mother-in-law's side, we will lay the roof of your house together." Xiao Song's eyes suddenly moistened a little, and he was about to return the gold ingots to Ye Jianan, but he saw Ye Jianan frowning and said, "What do you give me back this little money, you keep it, we still have to buy things tomorrow." ”

It wasn't until Xiao Song bought the felt non-stop, and the two were busy for an afternoon, that all the felt on the roof of Granny Gu's house was re-paved, and Ye Jianan walked around the roof with satisfaction, stepping on a few feet from time to time to verify the firmness of the roof.

Early the next morning, Xiao Song still stood at the door before dawn and waited for Ye Jianan to practice martial arts together, but today Ye Jianan got up earlier than before, and the two usually practiced martial arts until sunrise, but today Ye Jianan pulled Xiao Song and practiced until noon, Xiao Song practiced for most of the day at once, and he was tired at noon, sitting on a stool to eat, his legs and hands were still shaking.

After lunch, Ye Jianan and Xiao Song went to the carpenter's house in the village, and bought all the tables, chairs, cabinets and stools made by the carpenter, especially an escalator. Taking advantage of the afternoon when Granny Gu went to the field to plant vegetables, Ye Jianan and Xiao Song carried out some of the dilapidated furniture in Granny Gu's house and replaced them with new furniture, especially the original bamboo ladder in the cellar was replaced with a newly bought wooden escalator. Seeing that Ye Jianan was busy in front of him, his heart suddenly warmed. was changed by Ye Jianan like this, and the whole house suddenly took on a new look. Especially when Granny Gu returned home, she almost couldn't recognize it, looking at the two people snickering in the yard, Granny Gu didn't know what to say for a while.

The next day, when it was not dawn to practice martial arts, Ye Jianan even more intensified and extended it for another hour, until the afternoon, only to pull Xiao Song, who had already had weak legs, to the door of Xiao Song's house, Ye Jianan frowned tightly and looked at the extremely dilapidated hut in front of him, some of the difficulties, Xiao Song's house has long been dilapidated, and some of the supporting pillars have been drilled by moths. Ye Jianan's palm was slightly exhausted, and a large piece of sawdust flew down one after another. He frowned and looked at the most dilapidated house in Peach Blossom Village, "Komatsu, let's build a new one." He paused, as if he saw Komatsu's worries, "Don't worry, I'm here."

When Komatsu asked Ye Jianan to practice martial arts the next day, Ye Jianan took Komatsu back to Komatsu's own house and instructed, "From now on, you will practice martial arts in your own home, and according to what I taught you, you must not interrupt every day, nor delay, nor reduce it." Seeing that Komatsu nodded in agreement, Ye Jianan took a deep look at Komatsu and left. When Komatsu saw Ye Jianan again, it was three or four days later, and Ye Jianan appeared in front of Komatsu with dozens of trees the thickness of sea bowls. Xiao Song looked at the marks on Ye Jianan's shoulders that were deeply strangled by the hemp rope, and his heart felt like turning over the river and the sea. Ye Canaan, who was standing in front of him, was as pale as snow, and his lips were chapped and bleeding.

Ye Jianan slept for a whole day and a night, and when he woke up the next day, Xiao Song had been standing outside the door for a long time, as if nothing had never happened, Ye Jianan was still like last time, and took Xiao Song back to his own house, and then, in Xiao Song's one-move martial arts practice, he found an ax and began to cut down the branches of the trees that he brought back a few days ago. When Komatsu saw Ye Jianan like this, he wanted to come over to help, but was severely stopped by Ye Jianan, and warned Komatsu that he would not slack off in practicing martial arts every day, and he would not steal empty for half a day.

Xiao Song had no choice but to practice martial arts every day until noon, and after lunch, he helped Ye Jianan cut trees and sawed wood together. After more than ten days in a row, three beautiful wooden houses replaced the dilapidated thatched huts. Immediately, Ye Jianan went to buy a lot of furniture, and went to the grocery store, bought pots and pans, and suddenly, the whole house was completely new, that night, Xiao Song left Ye Jianan after dinner, "plopped" and knelt down, and kowtowed three times seriously, he raised his head, looked at Ye Jianan and said, "Brother Ye, I want to worship you as a teacher!" Ye Jianan looked at Zhao Xiaosong, who was red and swollen in his eyes, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Why, aren't I also teaching you martial arts now?" Xiao Song kowtowed three more times, "Brother Ye, promise me." Ye Jianan smiled, "That's it, if you tell me why you want to worship me as a teacher, I will promise you." ”

When Xiao Song heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, he dusted off his clothes, respectfully kowtowed to Ye Jianan three times, and shouted, "Master! Then he said, "One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father!" Ye Jianan looked at the black and thin young man in front of him, and didn't know what to say, whether Zhao Xiaosong worshiped himself as a teacher or not, he would teach Xiaosong to practice martial arts, but Zhao Xiaosong still insisted on worshipping himself as a teacher at the moment, Ye Jianan sighed slightly in his heart, and also recognized Zhao Xiaosong as an apprentice. He was seriously injured and was chased and killed here, except for some gold and silver, there was nothing else of value on his body, Ye Jianan reached out and groped in his arms for a long time, and finally a transparent bead appeared in Ye Jianan's palm, he looked at this bead for a long time, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly, "Since you recognize me as a master, the master will give this thing to you as a meeting gift, this thing is also from me, I got it unintentionally, called Qingxue Zhu, I hope you keep it well." ”

This sudden heavy snowfall, without warning, continued to fall all winter, the entire village of Peach Blossom Village has half of the people, because of this sudden heavy snow, crushed the roof, and the original bricklayer in the village out of the village, was closed by heavy snow, can not return to the village, after the roof of Granny Gu's house was repaired by Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong, the news spread like snowflakes throughout the entire Peach Blossom Village, for a while, Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong's names, everyone in Peach Blossom Village knows, Except for the time when Ye Jianan helped Xiao Song build a wooden house, the people in the village competed to ask Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong to help repair the roof.

Seeing that there are more than ten villagers who don't know him waiting at the door every day, Ye Jianan can only smile bitterly and promise to help everyone repair them one by one, but Xiao Song needs to practice martial arts in the morning, and he can't be delayed for half a day, so he can only help repair it in the afternoon, fortunately, Ye Jianan and Zhao Xiaosong are also very skilled in repairing the house for days, if they just repair the roof, often the two of them only need one or two hours, and in one afternoon, if you are in a hurry, you can also repair three or four households.

For more than ten days in a row, Ye Jianan and Xiao Song got up early in the morning to practice martial arts, practiced until noon, and after lunch, they rushed to the village to help repair the roof, during this time in Peach Blossom Village, Ye Jianan was not as cold and obedient as before, he seemed to be a different person, he treated people kindly, and he had a smile on his face before he spoke, a smile, and although Xiao Song was not as smiling as Ye Jianan, he was not as lonely and cold as before.

The two of them have good skills, move fast, and do not receive pay, after finishing the work, clean up, and rush to the next house, even if sometimes work until sunset, Ye Jianan and Xiao Song, never delay, must repair the roof of this house before leaving home, during this period there are also a considerable number of villagers enthusiastically keep him and the two of them have eaten before leaving, Ye Jianan just smiled and shook his head, "Mother-in-law is still cooking at home waiting for us to go back." ”

All of a sudden, the aunts and aunts who had contacted Ye Jianan in Peach Blossom Village were full of praise for this young man, hardworking, capable, sensible, and handsome, and he was also a handsome offspring with a white face, and he was the ideal son-in-law of Peach Blossom Village. It's just that his actions like this affirm the speculation in the hearts of those three aunts and six mothers-in-law, and they are all thinking about whether there are still girls in their relatives who are waiting for the word boudoir.

If you really can, choose a family and live in such a quiet and peaceful Peach Blossom Village Chief, he thought stupidly, Qin Yuyin's delicate face suddenly appeared in his mind, followed by the quarrel in the house that day, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.

The days are getting longer day by day, and they are getting warmer day by day, after helping to repair the roofs of everyone in the village, Ye Jianan's martial arts training for Komatsu has become more severe, and even developed to the point that it has become more severe and inhumane. Twelve hours a day, except for the time of sleeping and eating, the rest of the time is almost all about practicing martial arts, fortunately, Komatsu's temperament is more stubborn than ordinary people, and when he often feels that he can't hold it at first, he is about to open his mouth to rest, Ye Jianan said coldly, "Have you forgotten why you want to practice martial arts?" When Xiao Song heard Ye Jianan's words, he was angry again, gritting his teeth and insisting, but sometimes he looked at Ye Jianan's eyes looking at the mountain at the exit of the village, and there seemed to be a burst of waves flashing.

The snow in the mountains also melted under the warming of the sun, turning into a trickle and flowing down the mountain. Ye Jianan and Xiao Song looked at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly Ye Jianan said, "Xiao Song, I want to build a pavilion on this mountainside, so that when the village goes up and down the mountain, there will be a place to rest." Komatsu said happily, "Master, it's best to build a pavilion here, every time I go up and down the mountain in the past, I am anxious, I go up and down the mountain in one breath, I am really tired, if there is a place to rest on the mountainside, even if it is rainy and snowy, I can rest in the pavilion for a while before walking." But ......" seemed to think of something, with a hint of doubt, Komatsu said, "Although the weather has warmed up these days, but on the mountainside, it is still covered with ice and snow, and it will be inconvenient to build a gazebo at this time, or it will be a month later, and when the snow on the mountain has melted, it will be much more convenient for us to build a gazebo." ”

Ye Jianan looked into the distance and frowned, "No, I still want to set up this pavilion as soon as possible, Xiao Song, you have to hurry up and practice martial arts, maybe I will leave the village one day." Xiao Song was startled and hurriedly got up and stood up, "Master, isn't it good here, why are you leaving?" Ye Jianan looked at Xiao Song, who looked nervous, smiled, and comforted, "I'm just talking casually, Peach Blossom Village is so good, I don't want to leave." He patted Komatsu on the shoulder and walked out. Komatsu watched Ye Jianan's thin figure being infinitely elongated in the sunset, bringing up loneliness. A hollow sense of powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart.

Ye Jianan carried the tools on his back the next day and went up the mountain alone, he climbed to the middle of the mountain, although the weather is warmer at the moment, but the mountain is covered with snow, although Ye Jianan is wearing thick cotton clothes, but still feels the biting cold, he walks step by step on the mountain road that has not been walked by anyone since the beginning of winter, which is covered with ice and snow and cannot see the path.

The snow on the mountain had turned into ice, and it was untenable, Ye Jianan needed to be extremely careful with every step, and even in some places, he had to take a chisel to cut a hole in the ice first, and then stick a wooden stick into the hole, and with the help of the wooden stick he could climb up. There are very few people logging in Taohua Village, so the mountains are densely wooded, and there are many trees that cannot be hugged by one person. Ye Jianan was extremely concerned about this matter, and carefully measured the circumference of several trees back and forth, before choosing, he picked up the saw, and worked hard for a long time before sawing down the few trees he liked one by one.
