In the dead of night, Linglong changed into night clothes, quietly left the house, and went to Sweet Water Lane in the east of the city to see her new house according to the address given to her by her second cousin Jin Zihuan that day.

Linglong is not familiar with Dawu Dijing, but thieves are born to be masters of recognizing the way, but wherever they have been, they can remember it clearly, even if they have not been here, they can find it quickly.

As Jin Zihuan said, the choice of Yan Guoxian, the general of Zhenguo, for Mr. Xi Xigao is indeed a quiet place.

Sweet Water Lane got its name from a sweet water well here in the early years, but it is very old, there is no well here, and only a place name remains.

The name is the alley, but it is not a small alley imagined by Linglong, a long street paved with bluestone slabs, lined with deep houses with blue bricks and blue tiles, and there are black locusts planted outside the courtyard, although the branches and leaves are not luxuriant, but the green color is verdant, and there is a tranquility.

Her house was located in the deepest part of Sweetwater Alley, and the black-lacquered door was locked, and Linglong pulled out the key, and the door creaked open.

Compared with the big mansion of Shi Er, it is simple and narrow here, and the house with two entrances, bypassing the shadow wall, passing through the hanging flower door connecting the front and rear courtyards, is facing three main rooms, there is an ear room on the left and right, two rooms in the east and west wings, and a few back cover rooms in the back, all of which are not big rooms.

The house is not big, but because the previous owner is a teaching master, the layout here is also simple and generous, the house is half-new, but there are several old fish tanks and vases left by the previous owner, although it is not an antiquity, but there are also some years, its own years of precipitation in it.

A well-preserved flower and fish screen with red sandalwood inlaid with glaze, which is worth some silver, should have been taken away by the master who was too heavy. Linglong looked very fond of it, thinking that she would wash it and put it in her mother's room in the future.

Linglong's favorite is still a few plum trees in the courtyard. At this time, in late summer and early autumn, the plum trees are pale with green leaves. You can imagine the scenery of the cold plum blossoming and the cold fragrance in winter.

Linglong stood under the plum tree and sniffed, and her mood was as good as the leaves of this tree, dense but not heavy, and when a gust of wind blew, it was so easy that the whole thing was transparent.

After living for two lifetimes, this is her first home purchase. In his previous life, even if he was separated from his master, he had no fixed place to live, and he lived in a hotel most of the time.

She had thought about it too. One day, wash my hands in a golden basin, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, buy a village house, listen to the chirping of mountain birds in the morning, watch the slanting sun grass and trees at night, regardless of the white clouds and dogs in the flower world outside, I just sit and watch the clouds and clouds bloom and fall.

It's just that this kind of thinking is only fleeting for her, she is not a young woman in literature and art who is idle, she still has to do her business.

But this life. She had bought a house since she was twelve, but it was just a place for her to rest, and she wouldn't use it as an escape.

The Kim family is her home and her mother's. She's not going to give it to anyone for nothing, never.

She walked around again, taking in the essentials she needed to add. Only then did he leave, riding the moonlight. I went to Junyi Street, where Shi Er's house was.

The master and apprentice used this as a point of contact. But Shi Er didn't give her the key to the house, but in the eyes of the master and apprentice, this is not a problem at all, why do you want the key to be a thief?

Linglong thought that it would be General Tie who would guard the door, and she might have to climb over the wall, but she didn't expect the door to be closed, but there was no lock on the door.

There's someone inside!

No one inside knocked on the door, and in the middle of the night, Linglong didn't want to make too much noise.

She lifted her breath, like a nimble tanuki, and jumped into the high courtyard wall in a few strokes.

There was no one here except Shi Er, but Linglong saw a few lights, the stone lamp in the courtyard had been lit, and Shi Er was in the courtyard where he was the last to enter, sitting in the hand-copying corridor, as if waiting for her.

"Master, you know I'm coming."

Linglong jumped up and ran in front of him, sending a big smile, striving to be sillier, whiter and sweeter.

Shi Er really did as she wished, and changed a fake face, Linglong even suspected that he himself was the one who opened a fake face shop, or how to make live advertisements for people every day, but unfortunately this advertisement was really bad, these faces were uglier than the other.

Because only Xiaoqiu could come here, Shi Er recognized her at a glance this time, but when he saw her, he seemed to be very unhappy: "You kid is too lazy, Master asked you to arrange this place, you can see for yourself, it's still bare, these lights are still lit by Master and myself." ”

Linglong blinked her eyes, and took advantage of Shi Er's lack of attention to give him a big white eye.

I'm your apprentice, but I'm not your little guy, and I don't live here, so of course you have to light the lamp yourself when you come, and if it's troublesome, make a long lantern!

Although he slandered, he didn't say so: "Master, I have already entrusted someone to purchase household belongings, and you also know, I am still a child, and you can't be too ruthless when you call people, when will you teach me martial arts?" ”

Shi Er stared at her for a while, as if heaven and man were at war in his heart, whether to beat up this little scoundrel, or wait for "him" to grow up before beating her.

Hearing this, he asked, "What martial arts?" ”

Linglong was angry, this person seemed to have forgotten that they were masters and apprentices.

"I just want to learn the kind of martial arts that can stand in mid-air and write."

Since she said it, she didn't have to hide it, and simply said the thing she longed for the most in her heart.

Shi Er was stunned for a moment, and then his fake face moved, Linglong guessed that he must be frowning, and seemed to be very surprised by her request.

"Master, don't you know such martial arts?" Linglong asked bluntly, a twelve-year-old person can't be regarded as a very young child, but in front of Shi Er, she is just a little thief who is obsessed with money. Since she has been labeled a long time ago, there are no taboos.

She is the Jin family in her bones, and the Jin family does not do loss-making transactions.

She agreed to be Shi Er's apprentice, in addition to the monthly "welfare", more importantly, she wanted to learn martial arts, this kind of light skill that has long been lost in modern times.

What she said was really useful, Shi Er seemed to be very dissatisfied with this, he snorted coldly: "Who said I wouldn't, what's so difficult about this, it's easy if you want to learn this from Master, and when Master is in a good mood, I'll teach you." ”

Linglong pouted, it's this sentence again, you said the same thing last time, cut.

She had more important things, so she simply didn't dwell on this matter with him any longer.

"Master, give me your hand." She said with a grin, and took out a small purse from her arms, which was made of royal blue satin, but the embroidered pattern on it was not flowers and birds, but chickens pecking rice.

She shook her purse in front of Shi Er, and then untied the ribbon at her mouth, like a child hiding her treasure to show off to her companions. (To be continued......)
