In the afternoon, the streets were noisy and the rooms were silent.

Xu Buling woke up from his deep sleep, opened his eyes and blinked, and quickly regained consciousness. After sleeping and the healing medicine prepared by Zhongli Jiujiu, the chest and waist no longer hurt, and the wound under the ribs was still a little stinging, but it didn't hurt.

"Whew-"

Xu Buling breathed a sigh of relief and was about to lift the thick futon on his body, but found that it was hot and smooth to the touch, and he seemed to be asleep.

？？

Xu Buling was stunned, picked up the futon and glanced at it, but saw the nightingale shrunk next to him, wearing a goose-yellow small belly pocket, lying on his side facing him, his little hands on his chest, his slender eyelashes moved slightly, his breathing was steady and he was still asleep, probably burying his face in the quilt and not breathable, his face was red and fluttering, and his skin was more tender than that of a baby.

Xu Buling thought about it carefully, and then remembered that after eating in the early morning, he was too tired, and he lay down in a daze. I only booked two rooms, and last night the nightingale also ran with me for a day, shooting a bow and arrows, cooking and boiling water, and I was not lightly tired, and I didn't want her to sleep on the bench, so we made do with it for one night.

Why did this girl take off all her clothes......

Xu Buling saw that the nightingale hadn't woken up yet, and his eyes subconsciously swept his eyes, huh...... Xiao Lotus showed sharp corners......

The little girl who is about to be sixteen, her body has not fully grown, and if you look closely, it is still a little interesting, and the main face is delicate......

Xu Buling looked at it for a moment, not wanting to wake up the nightingale, so he covered the futon to prevent the cold from penetrating in, and closed his eyes to keep himself free of distractions.

"Childe ......"

The movement of covering the quilt still woke up the cautious nightingale. She moved a few times in the futon in a daze, her head came out from next to Xu Buling's shoulder, and she glanced outside with sleepy eyes:

"Is this morning or afternoon?"

"Afternoon ......"

"Oh......"

The nightingale rubbed her eyes, and seeing that Xu Buling didn't mean to get up, some of the people who were lying on the bed shrank back, and muttered in a low voice:

"Childe was really powerful yesterday, when can I be like Childe, beat Wu Kui down......"

Xu Buling listened to the muffled voice and smiled lightly: "You have a good foundation, study hard, and there will always be a time to reach the peak." However, there is a mountain on the rivers and lakes and a mountain high, so you can't be too eager, it's enough to do your duty. ”

The nightingale snorted, thought about it, maybe she was a little more awake, and leaned out her face to lie on the pillow again, looking at Xu Buling's side face:

"Childe, there's nothing to be afraid of killing someone...... I'm not complacent, I just think Childe is right, it's a normal thing......"

"It's good to understand."

Xu Buling is almost invincible in close combat, but like all martial arts masters, when encountering a bow and crossbow, it will be involved and lead to a lack of skills, and having an intimate encyclopedia that can fight can save a lot of trouble, can cultivate and exercise a little nightingale, and will not deliberately avoid letting her see blood.

However, Xu Buling doesn't like to treat the people around him as maids and servants, for him, the people around him are all family members, and the same is true for Yuenu and Qiao'e, the main thing is to pay attention to the physical and mental health of the little girl.

Seeing that the nightingale was very sensible, Xu Buling did not chatter like an old woman, closed his eyes again, and focused on regulating his breath.

However, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old daughter's house was at the beginning of love, and the nightingale was a girl in the room, and since the day Xu Buling followed, she regarded herself as Xu Buling's person, and she was well-read and intelligent, and saw that Xu Buling's expression was slightly strange, and asked seriously:

"Childe, do you miss Sister Xiang'er?"

Xu Buling's expression froze, and he put on the appearance of a child: "Don't talk nonsense, adult's business, what do you little girl know." ”

"Childe nineteen, just a few years older than me......"

The nightingale never had the word 'shy or squirming' in his dictionary, and with a wide blink, he suddenly took Xu Buling's hand and put it under his not so grand belly pocket.

"Shhhhh

Xu Buling frowned, and turned his head to look at his little maid:

"What do you do?"

The nightingale also frowned, and felt it carefully: "Sister Xiang'er seems to be crazy every time, in fact...... It's nothing......

“……”

You're nothing......

Xu Buling took a breath, pondered slightly, and simply hugged the slender nightingale beside him in his arms, and closed his eyes: "Sleep honestly, don't think about those messes." ”

Nightingale rubbed her cheek on Xu Buling's arm, closed her eyes and listened for a moment: "Childe, your heart is beating a little fast, the book says that this is an evil thought......

"As far as you know, get up, get up......"

Xu Buling was not Yanagi Hui, and he felt that he was about to go off the rails, so he turned over.

The nightingale was completely awake, and no longer stayed in bed, and got up to find a clean robe for Xu Buling.

Xu Buling looked at the nightingale walking around the house with only a close-fitting coat, and shook his head a little funny:

"Nightingale, I told you a long time ago, my daughter's family should be shy. It's always been a childe who flirts with the maid, you're good, it's the other way around......"

The nightingale let out an 'oh', blushed reluctantly, and began to look for clothes in a shy look.

Xu Buling spread his hands and had nothing to say......

---------

King Wu's birthday banquet is approaching, Xiao Qi's ship is still waiting in Jinling, and he can't delay too long and miss the time.

At dusk, Xu Buling left the inn and prepared to rush back to Jinling overnight. Because it was going to King Wu's birthday banquet and not traveling, it was difficult to predict what variables would be at that time, and it was not appropriate to bring too many people, so he asked Zhongli to go to Huainan and wait first.

The two teams were separated outside Jinhu County, Zhongli Chuchu was covered with a red dress, sitting on a tall white camel, holding the hump with his hands, watching Xu Buling go away, with a little loss in his eyes.

Since the farewell outside Suzhou City, Zhongli Chuchu has been pondering the scene of the reunion, and even secretly practiced the tone and way of talking with Xu Buling in the mirror in private, and his thoughts have changed many times.

It's just that when we met again yesterday, she didn't say a word in her heart, she bummered and talked about some irrelevant topics, and almost sent her master out.

said that he wanted to be friends with Xu Buling, but now that he is a friend, Zhongli Chuchu can't figure out why he has become so useless, anyway, he feels weird in his heart......

Next to the white camel, Zhongli Jiujiu had a simple treasure knife hanging from his waist, sitting sideways on the big red horse, with a little smile between his eyebrows. When the backs of the master and servant gradually disappeared at the end of the official road, they retracted their gaze:

"Chu Chu, let's go, go to Huainan Xiao's house as a guest......"

Zhongli Chuchu came back to his senses, drove the white camel and walked beside the master, the camel was much taller than the horse, looked down at Zhongli Jiujiu, and hesitated slightly:

"Master, you received Xu Gongzi's reward, you should follow Xu Gongzi, otherwise Xu Gongzi's reward will not be given in vain. Or you can postpone the time......"

Listening to the apprentice wrenching his fingers to settle accounts for outsiders, Zhong Li Jiujiu's cheeks showed a little helplessness, and he sighed softly:

"I received his remuneration for the teacher, so I naturally listened to his arrangement, it was he who asked me to go to Huainan and wait, and it wasn't that I wanted to be lazy and take advantage, you didn't say that others were stupid and had a lot of money, but said that I was here......"

"How can I say Master, it's just that we are Jianghu people, and we can't take advantage of others in doing things...... That's it, let's just let him arrange it. However, Ning Yuhe is also in Huainan, Xu Gongzi is not there, and the master suddenly runs over, will he be beaten out? ”

Zhongli Jiujiu's eyes showed a little smugness, and he raised his hand and patted the treasure knife on his waist: "This is given to me by Xu Buling personally, and when the time comes, I will say that Xu Buling has already worshiped me as a teacher, if you treat me well, Xu Buling will definitely be dissatisfied." Even if Ning Yuhe was angry, he didn't dare to do anything to me. ”

"Huh?"

When Zhongli Chuchu heard this, he was a little frightened: "Master, don't mess around, if Xu Gongzi comes back and pokes your words, how embarrassing it is, maybe he will kick you out." ”

Zhongli Jiujiu didn't care at all: "If you get out, you will get out, anyway, he asked me to do something, and I didn't ask him to do something." ”

“……”

Zhongli pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but finally let out a soft 'oh'.

Zhongli Jiujiu watched his apprentice grow up, and naturally felt this subtle change in expression, seeing that Chu Chu was a little sullen, he shook his head and sighed lightly:

"Chu Chu, you can't do this, I've already told you, when you contact a man, you can't put your body so low. Why do men like gentle and virtuous girls? Because you don't have to worry about saving trouble, you can't fight back, you don't scold back, you can pat your ass and know how to please a man......"

"Master, what are you talking about......"

"I'm talking about you. Look at your current appearance, you don't leave Xu Buling in three sentences, and you will say good things about others in everything, for fear of treating others badly......"

"I didn't, I just wanted to make friends with Xu Buling, I haven't had any friends since I was a child......"

Zhongli Jiujiu was helpless and nodded: "Even if it's to make friends, it's not your way of making friends." Men treat women as bullies and fears of hardness, and the more you tolerate and yield, the less men will put more thought into you, thinking that you won't care anyway. And those women who will lose their temper, men will be careful to put more thought. For example, for example, Mrs. Lu and Xiang'er around Xu Buling, Xu Buling has to think carefully about talking to them, why? Because once they say something wrong, Mrs. Lu and Miss Xiang'er will definitely lose their temper and have to spend more time coaxing. If you look at you again, people will ignore you if they say they don't care about you, and if you explain it afterwards, you will be convinced......"

Zhongli Chuchu was a little unconvinced: "How can you give an example like this, Mrs. Lu and that Xiang'er girl are the family members of Gongzi Xu." Xu Gongzi and I are friends, and the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water......"

“……”

Zhongli Jiujiu sighed, pondered for a moment, and said softly:

"I mean, don't just think about saying good things to Xu Buling, if you want to make friends, you can start from other places. Isn't there a few little girls around Xu Buling, if you mingle with them and become each other's confidants, Xu Buling will naturally treat you as a friend, and you will think, 'If you leave Miss Chu Chu out in the cold, will they be unhappy at night?' They are not happy in the early night, and they have to coax for a long time, so it's better not to snub the Chu Chu girl'......"

Zhongli Chuchu understood a little when he heard this, and nodded thoughtfully:

"It seems that this is the truth......

Zhongli Jiujiu was satisfied, drove his horse onto the official road to Huainan, and admonished:

"In the future, in front of Xu Buling, you will speak to me. As soon as I open my mouth, you will dismantle the stage, and you will not be happy to enjoy it, and the result will be that our master and apprentice will give it for nothing together. How about you learn from the scholar Ning Qingye, and see how people treat Xu Buling......"

"Master, I know that I am wrong, and I will learn Ning Qingye's ...... well."

"Alas......"
