Venue: Yanliu Village Academy

The storyteller and his old lady, who was about the same age, sat and talked at a round table under the north eaves.

Under the north eaves, the storyteller and an old woman sat at a round table, the storyteller looked still angry, with horizontal eyebrows, a straight face, one hand kept shaking the folding fan, and his gray beard was blown and shaken. The old woman sitting across from him looked at him with a smile on her face, the old woman was about the same age as him, her gray hair was meticulously combed, her forehead was wrinkled, the corners of her eyes were full of fine lines, and her eyes were sunken in their sockets, revealing a kind smile.

The old storyteller said angrily: "Eh! Yuzu Na Nizi is really getting more and more disagreeable, it seems that it is really a woman's big girl. It's better to tell her about family affairs as soon as possible and send her away! Anyway, I'm twenty-nine years old. ”

The old lady listened, but squeaked and smiled: "Then won't you never be able to taste the craftsmanship of grapefruit again?" Besides, the wooden cake and the grapefruit also grew up together, although the wooden cake is not as talented as the grapefruit, but it is also a diligent child, the grapefruit is not the same as the wooden cake and the wooden cake is not the same as the grapefruit, what will the child think if you do the wooden cake? ”

After hearing this, the old gentleman stopped shaking the folding fan, looked at the whole courtyard again, sighed and said, "But it's not a way to go on like this." Mubiscuit and Yuzu are both orphans we brought back during the war, and now that we are getting older, you think, Mubiscuit's child's qualifications are not at all Mr. Don't say that Yuzu's personality is suitable to take over the academy, just look at her identity as a woman, and the world is not allowed. If it weren't for the fact that we happened to meet the world's most strange woman back then, and the other party was kind to us and asked for us, how could I teach her poetry, calligraphy and painting? ”

The old lady still looked kind, and said slowly: "It is not only a grace, but the understanding of the wooden cake is too mediocre, and it is also Yuzu that she has the greatest credit for opening a academy, and she can be regarded as a strange woman when it comes to Yuzu." But speaking of the first strange woman who was famous in the world back then, Yue Xiuqiu has long since disappeared. The old lady sighed.

The old gentleman suddenly said nervously: "Don't mention this name, she provoked the whole rivers and lakes back then, although we are gracious, we can repay the favor if we teach grapefruit and wooden cakes, who dares to mention her name now?" Madame, too, aren't we worried about the future of yuzu and wooden cakes? Why are you mentioning those old things? ”

Although the old lady smiled on her lips, there seemed to be some regret in her eyes: "I just think it's a pity, in such a troubled world, even if several women are together, they are also unlucky in the rivers and lakes." Huh. The old lady sighed again.

The old gentleman shook his head, a little impatient, and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it." It is both the past and the affairs of others, if Madame wants to mention it again, then I will keep silent. ”

The old lady looked at the old man next to her and couldn't help laughing, afraid that this old wife would be stubborn, so she would no longer mention the matter of the strange woman: "Also, we are at this age, and the knowledge of the wooden cake will not be able to take over the academy, and it may be necessary to sell this academy at that time." After speaking, the old lady looked at the academy, with a kind of reluctance and nostalgia in her eyes that she would not be in the long term.

The old gentleman sighed: "This academy is not far from the village, and it is only because of my Mr. Dongpo's fame that I can open an academy outside the city, and if I sell it, I am afraid it will not be able to sell it for a few dollars." ”

The old lady thought for a while and said, "We can also go to Hongcheng to rent a place and open a restaurant." With Yuzu's intelligence and Mu Bi's physical diligence, it shouldn't be a problem, besides, didn't Mu Bi also learn a little boxing from others when he was a child? If there are drunkards or anything, it will not be difficult for them. If they have a heart, maybe they will ...... then" At this time, the old lady raised her eyes to see the old gentleman's expression, but found that the old gentleman did not seem to listen to her later sentence, but was looking down at himself and thinking about something.

The old lady asked a little anxiously, "What are you thinking?" Did you hear what I said? ”

The old gentleman replied thoughtfully: "Yes, although we are not martial arts practitioners, but the boxing and foot skills of the wooden cake are also practiced by ourselves, but the book he learned boxing and foot skills was not left by the only man in the group with Yue Xiuqiu at that time?" ”

The old lady asked, "What's wrong with that?" ”

The old gentleman rubbed his beard with his hand: "I'm worried that no one in the rivers and lakes will be able to see it, how to say that the name Yue Xiuqiu was also known to the whole rivers and lakes." ”

The old lady smiled knowingly: "How many years ago, now you see, there are a few pieces of Yue Xiuqiu's handwriting in the grapefruit boudoir, isn't no one aware of it?" Although none of us are from the rivers and lakes, we also know some things about the rivers and lakes. There are a few people in the rivers and lakes who know the name Yue Xiuqiu, if it weren't for the older generation who have been active in the rivers and lakes for a long time, they might not even know the name Yue Xiuqiu. What's more, she has disappeared for more than 20 years, and the whole Jianghu looked for them back then, but didn't they find them? If we meet people who have been active in the rivers and lakes for so long and have fought with them, they must all be big shots, and we can only report to the officials at that time. Suddenly, the old lady realized that she was talking farther and farther, so she stopped and said hurriedly: "Oh, I said old man, how could you think of so much nonsense? ”

The old gentleman sighed: "Maybe I thought of some of the past events of the year......" After speaking, the old gentleman looked at the lobby in the house, his eyes stopped on a spiritual seat in the center of the lobby, the small incense burner in front of him was burning incense candles, and a few thin wisps of light smoke came and went in the house, this small incense burner was just put on by the old lady.

The old lady followed his gaze and looked into the house, and immediately understood the old man's thoughts, and said, "Don't think too much, it's over." Let's stop thinking about the old days. ”

At this time, the wooden cake returned.

Mubi first saluted the old gentleman and the old lady: "Sir, madam, I am back." ”

"Hurry ~~ Hurry up and try the grapefruit-flavored Dongpo meat and green mountains and green water (green vegetable soup)!" Just at this moment, a loud shout came from the firewood room, and I saw Yuzu coming out of the firewood room on the east side, holding a bowl of vegetables in each hand, one yellow and one green on both sides, steaming hot.

……

When eating.

The old gentleman said: "After eating in a while, the wooden cake will go to Yanliu Village first to tell me the book I haven't finished talking about, and I will ask the anther master for tea." After Yuzu washed the dishes, I tried to fry a side dish before the Anther Chef's lunch, thanking him for saving our free tea. ”

Wooden Cake: "Got it." ”

Yuzu: "Yes." ”

The two of them munched on their food as they replied vaguely.

The wooden bread was eaten quickly, and after eating, he went down the mountain.

Location: Xipo Huanshan Road

It was noon, the sun was hanging in the sky, the sun was getting a little dazzling, and the temperature was starting to be a little scorching. Shan Guyue and the two catchers braved the scorching sun and walked on the road around the mountain, but fortunately, trees were planted on both sides of the road, with wide branches and leaves, casting shade on pedestrians.

Fat Catcher raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face with his cuffs, raised his head and squinted at the sun, and complained: "It's not Qingming yet, how do you feel that we are rushing up the mountain?" ”

Thin Catcher listened to it, and immediately pulled the sleeve of Fat Catcher, glared at him again, and motioned to him: "Master Hou is also here, don't talk nonsense, be careful of your head." ”

Fat Catcher reacted quickly, and immediately added: "I come on horseback on weekdays, and I don't think it's far away." I didn't expect to use it, it's really a bit of a distance~haha~~ It's really time to lose weight. ”

Thin Catcher Kuai also sang a double reed with him, and Ying He said: "So you should exercise more, but before those outsiders appeared, our days were quite peaceful." ”

When Fat Catcher heard this, he suddenly became angry, and he said angrily: "If it weren't for that case, I wouldn't have been busy for a few days and nights, don't mention it." By the way," Fat Catcher quickly thought of Shan Guyue again, "Master Hou, you've been gone for so long, why don't you take a break!" There's no urgency in this matter, it's just two gangs of gangsters fighting. ”

Shan Guyue came out with the mentality of playing, watching the picturesque landscapes of Ximiao all the way, his heart was very quiet, and he replied lightly: "It's okay, my army used to wear armor on the battlefield and drive more than ten miles a day." ”

The two catchers are only used to staying in the city, and they don't know about the battlefield, although they have heard about it in the rumors, they still feel suspicious, but they don't dare to ask the Hou Ye in front of them.

Thin Catcher was quick and clever, and immediately patted his ass: "That's right, the legend of Lord Hou is a household name in our country." I can regard Hou Ye as the god of war, and I have always admired Hou Ye. ”

originally thought that Shan Guyue would be as silent as before when she heard this, but unexpectedly, Shan Guyue spoke this time: "Binggui is fast, what happened to those outsiders you said before?" ”

Fat Catcher quickly thought that someone could finally listen to his complaints, so he immediately rushed to answer: "That's right." At the beginning of the year, Xi Miao was opening a mountain road leading to Nanyao, half of the migrant workers were from our Ximiao, and half of the migrant workers were from Nanyao. Then suddenly there was a loud bang in the mountains one night......"

Shan Guyue suddenly turned around, and a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Loud noise? What kind of loud noise? Is there anything else you can see besides the loud noise? ”

Fat Catcher was taken aback by Shan Guyue's eyes: "This... This... I heard that it was a landslide and collapsed. ”

Seeing this, he thought that the fat catcher had mentioned something that should not be mentioned, and he was worried about annoying Shan Guyue, and thought: Dealing with high-ranking officials is the most troublesome, and if you are not careful, you may be planted in it. Fat man, he can't talk with his brain, I don't help him, I guess even I will lose myself in a while. Thinking of this, he immediately interjected: "Hou Ye, Hou Ye, it's like this, don't get excited, listen to what the villain tells you!" The fat man is not fluent in his mouth and can't tell things clearly. ”

"You say!" Shan Guyue said briefly, as if she was giving a military order.
