Chapter Ninety-Six: Making Something Out of Nothing

Everything is ready, all you need to do is travel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But at this time, there was an inexplicable moth.

Mr. Xu Lese, who used the imperial approval of the three princes' mansions, came to the mansion and said that he watched the sky at night, and the red star of Shu was shining, and there were auspicious people who started from here. However, the red star is clouded by black fog and may have the potential to fall into the star.

The black fog gradually approached Vega from the west, and is now located above the Three Princes' Mansion, and the view of the place can be interpreted as the black fog is an alien woman from the Three Princes' Mansion.

So this Master Xu came in a hurry to divinate the good fortune for the Three Princes' Mansion.

It is said that the place where the red star is located is blessed by the heavens, and it can live and work in peace and contentment, and it is peaceful to keep the chaos. However, the black fog is a fierce appearance, and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, so as not to cover the red star and cause trouble.

Master Gao was very respectful to Master Xu, and summoned the ladies in the house according to Master Xu's requirements, and asked Master Xu to comment on it, find out the black fog, and dispose of it in time.

Master Xu walked back and forth in the courtyard with a gossip plate, looking at the maid in the house and shaking his head.

Later, I finally stretched out my hand in the crowd and chose me to watch the excitement next to me.

What a flattering thing!

I clapped my hands, warmly thanked Master Xu for his favor, and asked him what proof he had to say that Black Mist was me.

The master snorted coldly and scolded me: "Bold monster, although you cast into a human form and don't remember the cause and effect of your previous life, how can you be so fooled by the deity. ”

I sighed, Uncle Jiang can bring you eight sets of this set of rhetoric in a while, and the tone of the people is better than yours.

Master Xu looked unconvinced when he saw us, pinched his fingers, and said slowly: "This girl left home when she was a baby, and she has been constantly right and wrong since she was a child. ”

Ning Yuan tugged at my sleeve, thinking that what he said was magical.

I smiled at him, "Oh? The master knows when and when I was born, and this is something that has always troubled me. I don't know my birth date and judge that I have a demon elephant, who can believe it? ”

The master looked at me and smiled disdainfully: "What kind of birthday do monsters need, you shouldn't even be born, where else is there a birthday." ”

After more than half a month of traveling, we finally arrived near the Sangong Mansion. After a little inquiry, I learned that Ye Keting and others were now stationed in the newly built military camp on the outskirts of the city. Now the world is in chaos, but Shu is rich and oily. Of course, the fat meat was worried about the wolf staring, so the gentry in Shu were willing to have a team like Ye Keting to guard Pingnan in the southwest, and they donated money to raise troops.

When we arrived at the military field, we were still shocked by this solemn scene.

Tens of thousands of people held weapons on the battlefield, shirtless and following the command of the sect leader, and the shouts shook the sky.

The entrance is heavily guarded, and it seems that it is difficult to sneak in. But I suddenly saw that there was a recruitment at the gate of the barracks, so I pulled Shen Mo over to enlist.

The creep asked us what we were good at, and where would we like to be assigned? I humbly said that I was hardworking and simple enough to help with the cooking. Silent and lazy: "Omnipotent, enlist the general." ”

I hurriedly pulled him and explained to everyone that this guy was joking, and he knew how to do some work, and he could just enlist in the vanguard.

Xiao Bing looked at Shen Mo with a little disdain, Shen Mo didn't say much, and with a false sword, Xiao Bing's table, chair, and clothes buttons were all broken.

The creep has been silent ever since. We reported our names, I am Chu Tiezhu, and Shen Mo is pseudonym Shen Erfat. Then someone gave us the first month's salary and two sets of clothes. Shen Mo and I officially walked into the barracks.

I looked left and right, but was silently dragged aside. A group of men rushed through the gate. The little soldier who led us introduced: "This is our General Zhuge and General Ye's right-hand man. ”

I followed up and asked, "What about General Ye?" ”

"Tomorrow is the birthday of Master Gao, as a prospective son-in-law, of course, you have to prepare in advance. As soon as you came, you didn't have anything else to do, so you and this big man sent some melons and fruits to the Sangong Mansion, which was a little bit of the heart of the brothers in the camp. ”

Yes, Shen Mo and I are going back again.

We had to send a total of four carts of gifts, which were pulled by horse-drawn carts to the Three Princes' Mansion. For this work, Shen Mo was obviously not too happy, picked a cart of fruit and lay in it, we walked this way, there were constantly peach pits, melon peels out of the car, I kept going around the car to kick these aside, so that no one could find out.

Finally arrived at the door of the Sangong Mansion, silently jumped out of the roof of the car, wiped his sweat, pretended to be in a hurry, and helped everyone carry fruits together.

Master Gao was very happy and gave us a banquet in the side hall. Shen Mo took advantage of everyone's inattention and went around to investigate the situation of the Three Princes' Mansion. I've had a tiring day and I've eaten so well.

Until now, I haven't even seen Ye Keting's shadow, but the people in the barracks are all good at drinking, and everyone eats and drinks endlessly. I'm still a little familiar with the Gao family's yard, so I went around and looked around a few places.

As I walked around the gazebo, I couldn't help but be stunned. I saw a familiar figure in the martial arts field in front of me.

He lost weight and grew stronger. Shirtless, his back is covered with deep and shallow knife wounds. The eyebrows are the same as before, but they are more alienated and cold, and a set of swordsmanship makes them smooth, decisive and domineering.

I wanted to look at him, but now I can't take my eyes off, in the past few years, he has suffered more than I imagined. I didn't think about what he would go through by himself after I left.

I involuntarily took a few steps forward, trying to see why there were so many wounds behind him. At this time, a Miaoman figure stepped forward quickly and wiped the sweat from his forehead for him. I quickly stepped back.

Ye Keting stood upright, the woman was obviously a little struggling, and said with a smile: "Shorter, you are so tall, I can't reach it." ”

Ye Keting smiled gratefully, took the handkerchief, and wiped his face: "I'll come by myself." Tomorrow is Master Gao's birthday, you still have a lot to prepare, don't be burdened by me. ”

A good and harmonious scene, Luan Feng and Ming, raising their eyebrows. I stood outside the landscape, out of place.

I stood a little embarrassed and sluggish, not knowing which leg I should take first when I left.

Hearing her say this, Shen Mo got up in a hurry: "Mother, don't be embarrassed for me, the emperor dares to beat him when he gets angry at the beginning, you are pushing your son into the fire pit." What's more, this little girl has been holding back a dozen noodles in her heart, and I don't want to be a member of her harem. ”

The lady smiled and blamed him: "Yan'er, you kid ......"

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and life is quiet. But thank you for my life here to have them.

Mrs. Wen Yan is a little expert in life, and she knows everything about cooking and taking care of her family. Although she was a little unhappy to know that I tricked her into going down the mountain because she was pregnant, she had been lonely on the mountain for many years, and she gradually let go of her obsession and became cheerful and loving life when she watched the clouds and stars rise and fall in the outside world. Mrs. Wen Yan and I planted flowers and trees in front of the courtyard, melons and beans in the back of the courtyard, and raised a few small animals. But Mrs. Wen Yan was soft-hearted, and she had a relationship with these chickens and ducklings who were originally used as food, and she raised them together with me.

We have no meat to eat, so we have been vegetarians for a long time, which makes me and Uncle Xiao very much looking forward to Shen Mo coming to see us, so every month at the beginning of the month or mid-month, I push Uncle Xiao at the door to look reverently, full of enthusiasm for improving the food.

Master Jiang is even more of a god, and under his sloppy and greedy appearance is a versatile soul. In the first few days, I disliked Uncle Xiao for not working and being picky, which was really unlikeable. But gradually, I discovered his attainments in Yixue, the ancients paid attention to the balance of the five elements, mutual recreation, and balance is the way to harmonious growth. However, although the mean is good, it does not mean that the balance is the mean, even if it is as brave as a blade, it is necessary to take into account the common progress of all parties. For example, gold is a soldier, gold is more profitable, and the profit is heavy and the punishment is killed. At this time, it is necessary to complement water and fire, water is soft, and violence is controlled by virtue; Fire is affection, and anger can be eliminated if there is affection. At the same time, with soil as the foundation, down-to-earth, wood as the aura, and thinking and acting. How can it not be a big deal.

This thinking can also be used to understand the art of war. Whenever two armies fight, there will be a tendency for one to lose the other's strengths. Use the five elements to balance the enemy and us, and you can defend the city. Use the enemy's uneven shortcomings to break the enemy. There is great wisdom in it that deserves to be studied for the rest of my life.

But Uncle Shi also told some news about Mingshan. Although he has always hated Shen Mingzhao for tearing Mingshan apart over the years, he has also seen some strange things from it. Shen Mingzhao seems to be the biggest beneficiary of the Gengwu Rebellion, but looking back at the events of the Gengwu Rebellion, there are too many doubts on that day. On the day of Geng Wu, many forces emerged on Mingshan, and they fought in a mess, and they did not distinguish between the enemy and me, so they caused countless casualties. After a multi-party scuffle, Shen Mingzhao woke up to find that Wu Tong had occupied Mingshan, and it has not been known whether his victory was intentional or a leak detection. But Shen Mingzhao has been treating old diseases in his body for many years, and he is not as concerned about Mingshan's affairs as he is looking for Ming Yueci, and he is not at all lonely and ambitious when he was young.

Therefore, if we want Master to live his life in the future, we still have many mysteries to solve.

Looking at Uncle Xiao's fairy wind bones, one day I took the newly picked cucumber and asked him to help me see the eight characters of my birthday.

Uncle Shi asked me, "What do you ask for?" A cucumber can ask for good luck. ”

I looked at him with raised eyebrows: "I want to ask about marriage." ”

Uncle Shi took the cucumber over and shook his head: "If you ask about marriage, you have to look at the eight characters of two people." ”

I think Uncle Xiao's bargaining problem is completely a bad habit left over from the previous stalls, and the two rows of cucumbers in the back of the yard have to be one more. Profiteers, profiteers.

I showed him the eight characters of me and Ye Keting with some expectation, but Uncle Shi shook his head when he saw it: "You are too angry in your life, and you attach too much importance to affection and righteousness, which will hinder his career." You are a problem in his life. Not suitable, not suitable. ”

"Phew, you might as well be talking to the fortune teller on the flyover, give me back the cucumber! No bounty! With that, I snorted and ran away with my cucumber. Made me unhappy all day. I can't see it, I just want to hear you say an auspicious word, and it's so difficult.

But thinking about it, I have long been far away from Ye Keting, maybe I will never see him again, and he can be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe. What's upset about me?

Yes, I also have to weed and trim the trees at the Taoist master's office every day, meditate and meditate. After persevering for a long time, my mind is much calmer. Shen Mo once brought me a clay doll to play with, and I told him seriously: "Don't spend money indiscriminately, I'm not a sixteen or seventeen girl anymore." The silver taels saved can still buy some meat to eat, and I really can't seem to grab Uncle Xiao. ”

Shen Mo had to mumble and express his dissatisfaction every time he came and left, Mingshan still had so many unfinished things to deal with. Really delayed his retirement.

The weather is getting colder, and everyone gets busy together during the autumn harvest, digging a cellar and storing potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables in it. Use fishing nets to catch some river fish and dry them into dried fish. Then put the millet and beans in beautiful little jars. After finishing everything, I lay in the courtyard covered with golden leaves, feeling the coolness of the autumn breeze. Yellow leaves are constantly falling in the air, like a slow and brilliant firework. A dead leaf just happened to fall on my face, announcing the end of its life.

I picked up the leaves, covered one of my eyes, looked at the sky farther up, and felt that time could not stand still. Every life comes and goes, I don't know whose figure will stay in my heart, and whose face will be reflected in whose heart. In the period of origin and extinction, life passes away in a hurry.

Then, I heard Mrs. Wen Yan calling me to eat. I buried the dead leaves under the tree and hurried away. Scattered into mud, see you next fall.

Xu has really grown up, and life has passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, we spent our first New Year here. Mrs. Wen Yan sat in the house and made new clothes for us, and told me that she had not seen snow for many years, and if it snowed this year, it would be even more festive.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, there were really snowflakes.

There was also the silence of the big bags and small wraps coming from the snow, and we joyfully accepted the gifts he had brought, and began to decorate the house and change into new clothes. But Mrs. Wen Yan's exchange of pink cloth from the bottom of the mountain is really conspicuous, and the four clothes we made from a roll of cloth are festive to wear.

Uncle Xiao also wrote a couplet for us to paste on the door: Say goodbye to the old year today, welcome the new year tomorrow. Horizontal batch: It's the New Year.

What else can I say. Uncle Xiao told me that vulgarity is elegance. Don't be too picky.

When we were thirty, our group went to the grave of our master early in the morning to offer incense and worship the New Year. I also used the carrier pigeon brought by Shen Mo to send a message to Master and Yan Xi to keep them safe, and by the way, I expressed my New Year's wishes. I hope that the master has little health, and Yan Xi still doesn't like Shen Zi. Then, Ning Yuan, more than a thousand miles away, I can only rely on my thoughts to convey New Year's wishes.

According to Shen Mo, Ming Mountain is also lively, and Shen Shan's health is even worse every winter, but he attaches great importance to the New Year this year. Everything was prepared one by one according to the old habits of Mingshan, just to accompany the little old lady Yueci to have a good Spring Festival. Master wanted to rush to me at the age of thirty, but he didn't expect Shen Mingzhao's head attack at this time, and Master still couldn't bear to leave him.

And Shen Zi's performance is even more strange, he has always been a person with eyes above the top, and he looks down on thousands of women who beg for pleasure with him. Now he was helpless by Yan Xi's cold and indifferent calm eyes. There has never been a woman's appearance that has been so attractive to him, he rarely takes the initiative once, and wants to indulge Yan Xi's desires, but Yan Xi doesn't eat this set at all; He wanted to buy Yan Xi with money and gifts, but Yan Xi ignored it; He wanted to change his style and talk sweetly to Yan Xi, but Yan Xi was a little impatient. Where has this most noble young master on Ming Mountain ever eaten such a deflated, and he was a little stunned for a while. If the people in the rivers and lakes saw the cold and ruthless Mingshan eldest prince so helpless, they would probably laugh out loud. But Shen Zi squinted his eyes slightly and announced disdainfully, no need to be strong, but let Yan Xi bow down to her.

I think it will take some time for him to make that wish come true.

When we got home, we all crowded into the kitchen, one by one, and Mrs. Wen Yan made dumplings. I secretly glanced at it while I was silently eating, may I ask what kind of dish is the fried mochi ball with hawthorn cake? Shen Mo also told me proudly, don't you like these two! I can only tell myself that it is in the heart, and the heart is in the heart.
