Chapter Twenty-Three: Harmony with Neighbors

Lin Xiao and the two little sisters just arrived at the wooden house, they saw a circle of wooden fences around the wooden house, a large piece of cabbage, radish, potatoes were planted in the fence, and a group of chickens and ducks were raised.

Lin Xiao came to everyone with a 360-degree backflip, pointing at more than a dozen peasant households and shouting:

"There is no royal law anymore! The old man dares to rob both the wealth and the silver!

Lin Xiao scolded with this, and everyone stood in place, staring at him inexplicably.

"Lin Xiao Xiaoyou!" Yu Boss was overjoyed, and excitedly came over to hold his hand, as if looking at an idol, "Little Poetry God, why are you here?!"

Lin Xiao held his right hand behind Lao Lao: "Yu Lao, don't worry, I'm here today, see who dares to grab things!"

Jade Butterfly and Xixi also somersaulted to Lin Xiao's side, helping to shout:

"That's it, you dare to grab things in broad daylight!"

"This girl just has itchy hands, so I'll go through a few tricks with you today!"

A group of male and female bankers looked at each other, looking a little embarrassed, until an aunt walked towards Lin Xiao.

"Hey, hey, hey. Lin Xiao hurriedly raised her hand to stop her from coming, her face was a little embarrassed, "Auntie, don't get any closer, although I, Lin Xiao, have always beaten men and not women, but if you come over and sneak attack, I will still make a move." ”

"Alas~" The aunt looked helpless, looked at Yu Lao from a distance, and even laughed: "Yu Lao, I said that you have to take this money, it's all everyone's mind, no, there was a misunderstanding." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Lin Xiao and the three of them said in unison, turning around to look at Yu Lao.

Yu Lao smiled, and hurriedly explained: "Three little friends, today is afraid that it will be the last time I will participate in the poetry meeting, and the New Year will be celebrated soon, and I will leave for Yunchuan tomorrow to find my son, and I plan to go there to live for a long time, and then come back, I don't know when it is." ”

"That's ......," Yudie pointed to the vegetables, chickens and ducks held by the farmers.

"Alas. Yu Lao sighed lightly and smiled again, "I'm going to leave tomorrow, and these vegetables, chickens and ducks will be given to all the neighbors and villagers to thank you for taking care of me for decades." ”

"Yu Lao~" Auntie walked over again, and this time Lin Xiao didn't stop her.

As she spoke, the aunt put the broken silver and copper coins in Yu Lao's hands again: "Yu Lao, you have helped so much in our township in the past, and the hoes, climbing plows, and sickles of every household in our village were all built by you, and we should thank you." ”

"Why. Yu Lao pushed the money back again, "Sister Wu, I can't see the eye of a needle clearly on weekdays, and I can't do needlework with my rough hands, and you helped sew the patches on my clothes." ”

As he spoke, Yu Lao came to the surrounding wooden fences again and pointed to another short and strong man: "These fences were built by Brother Sun for me." ”

The short and strong man Brother Sun has dark skin, short limbs, and thick calluses can be seen on his exposed neck and shoulders, and he should be doing manual work such as transportation.

"And that day during a thunderstorm, my old grass hut collapsed. As he spoke, Yu Lao pointed to the wooden house on the side, "During that time, everyone helped me, gave me accommodation and food, and finally helped me build this wooden house together, I can't say anything about this money." ”

Seeing that Yu Lao and Aunt Wu were about to excuse each other again, Lin Xiao thought of the best of both worlds, and said loudly to everyone: "Then let's do it, everyone understands Yu Lao's intentions, don't shirk, all vegetables, chickens and ducks take what they need, and the money doesn't have to be given, if you want to express your gratitude, go home and fry a few good dishes, bring the seats and benches, let's have dinner at our hometown today, for Yu Lao's candied line, what do you say?"

"Okay......" As soon as Yudie replied softly, her face turned red with shyness, and when it came to dinner, she was really hungry.

With Yudie's response, Yu Lao also nodded happily, and looked at Aunt Wu, and shouted to everyone: "Just listen to this little brother, all of our villagers will go home and hurry up to fry some specialty dishes, and we will do it together for Yu Lao today." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Okay~"

After a while, everyone first collected the fresh vegetables in the field together, and then went back to their respective homes to prepare all kinds of farmhouse delicacies, and then moved tables and chairs to Yu's hometown to gather, and the Sanmu table was already full of all kinds of delicacies.

Farmhouse cuisine is particular about a full fire and fragrant oil, the big dish that is burned by firewood in the earthen stove is called a drooling, although it seems that the dishes are not as good as the high-end restaurants in the city, but the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the farmhouse are free-range, some of the grassed rural local pork is fried and full of meat, adding the ginger slices and green onions planted by the farmer's own family, and you can know who has eaten a good meal today across ten miles and eight townships.

At the dinner table, Yu Lao is leaving tomorrow, and after clinking glasses at this time, he drank all the good wine Jiang Nanchun, and muttered that Brother Sun should marry early, and don't be busy making money every day. The old brother Sun just smiled, nodded, a mouthful of meat, three mouthfuls of rice, the manual labor was so tired that he panicked, as long as his stomach was full, it was the greatest happiness.

Yudie has long been hungry and has a small belly, although she is a beautiful girl with white skin and beautiful skin, but at this time, she picks up the rice, and she does not lose to this Sun brother at all, and she hasn't eaten much, so she has a bowl of rice to the bottom and pads her stomach.

The little sister of Xixi eats a precious jade meal on weekdays, and the royal princess who has a lot of food and clothing, but now she eats the real farm food for the first time, and there are so many dealers next to her who gobble it together, and inadvertently finished a bowl and loaded the second bowl.

"Lin Xiaoyou. Yu Lao shouted softly, and after he turned his head, he praised, "The new poem you wrote at the poetry meeting today won the championship, which is really a must in the south." ”

"Thank you. In the end, it was a copied poem, and he just did a little processing, so Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed, "The most important thing is that you help me canvass for votes, otherwise I won't be able to win the poem." ”

"What is canvassing?"

Before Lin Xiao could answer, Xixi on the side had already scrambled to say: "And my vote decides the winner, senior brother, you can't forget it in your life." ”

"Okay, well, I won't forget, my very smart princess little sister. ”

When Lin Xiao said this, Xixi also grinned, and there was still a piece of green onion hanging on his front teeth.

"Then why did you come to the old man's mansion today, passing by?"

Yu Lao asked, Lin Xiao remembered the cloth package he was carrying behind his back, he was just busy collecting vegetables and setting the table and other labor, it was not Yu Lao who said it at this time, he almost forgot, and handed the cloth package at the moment, Yu Lao took it and took a look, and patted his head:

"Alas, I'm so old fool that I almost forgot about these treasures. ”

——————

In the old fence courtyard wooden house, the neighbors and villagers of the old man said goodbye to Yu Laoyi one by one, and then dispersed one after another. Only Lin Xiao and the two little sisters were still in the house.

On the hill next to the wooden house, more than a dozen warriors bravely dressed as cloth people, holding large knives in their hands, ambushed among the trees and bushes, looking at the wooden houses below the mountain from a distance.

The warrior who took the lead had a mixed face, just sighed lightly, and listened to the attendant on the side talk: "Why are these three people still here, boss, why don't we kill them together?"

"It's a big deal, if the God Hunting Camp tracks it down, will you top me or ......"

The warrior who took the lead immediately stopped when he said this.

Suddenly, a crisp wind chime sounded behind him, and all the warriors looked back in surprise, but found that there was no movement, but a bamboo forest and shrubs, which was strange.

When the warriors turned around, there was already a gentleman standing in front of him, dressed in a white and red silk robe, and a long sword stuck in the throat of the leading warrior, and the other warriors next to him did not dare to move, and the hand holding the big knife trembled.

The leading martial artist swallowed in his throat and sighed in a low voice: "Master, our brothers are also obedient to orders, eating together, and there are ...... old and low."

Before he could finish speaking, Jun Zifeng had already put the long sword into the scabbard, without saying a word, without saying a word.

The warriors put down their swords carefully, slowly retreated with their waists bent, and retreated from the distance, before they fled like a desperate person, and after a while, they rushed into the Yangzhou Hou Mansion on Gao Street in embarrassment.

In the lobby of the Hou Mansion, Wang Zhongxuan of Yangzhou hugged two twenty-eight girls left and right, and the four girl dancers in front of him danced to the song.

"Master, something is wrong!" As soon as the warriors fled into the lobby, they collapsed, holding on and panting.

"Panicked mourning dog, who else in our Zhong family's heaven dares to stab it, old man?"

Zhong Xuan asked, and the warriors were already looking at each other, and finally the one who took the lead replied: "Yes...... There are masters. ”

Zhong Xuan was so angry that he got out of his seat, and slapped the leader in the face with his hand: "It's an old immortal who writes poetry, where is the master!"

The attendant gasped for breath, and hurriedly replied: "Master, there is really a master, who has come and gone without a trace, and as soon as I heard a wind chime, it appeared in front of us." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a swordsman flashed from the wooden beam above the lobby.

The swordsman Dongyin, one of the seven assassination stars of the shadow department - Miyamoto Yanjun.

Miyamoto Yanjun is tall and slender, with a fine armor on his face, a horizontal crack in the nose bone in the middle of the face armor, and a shadow mark at the center of his eyebrows, like the moment when ink drops into water. A sky-high long hair tied behind his head, a set of black burnt armor around him, thick hands with green tendons, although the long Tang knife on his waist has been sheathed, the gem on the handle of the knife is like a snake pupil with open eyes, glowing with dark red magic light.

I saw that this Miyamoto Yanjun was very skilled, and he fell from the wooden beam in the lobby at such a high distance without making any sound, but he just showed two snake-like eyes from between the face armor, and said four words alone:

"What clothes?"

"White and red silk robes. ”

"What did you say?"

"Didn't say anything. ”

"Lead the way. ”
