There were not many stops and breaks along the way, and it took only one day to reach its destination. Ji Yunqing was very concerned about the little girl along the way, but the little girl was too timid, and she never had many words, so naturally she didn't respond much. She was still hunched up her shoulders, Ji Yunqing understood that this was her defensive posture, weak animals would always choose a defensive posture of their own, so that they could feel safe and dependent, but fortunately, he didn't care so much.

In front of a pawnshop, after the two got out of the car, they walked into the hall, but heard the sound of abuse coming from inside.

"Wang Ruo, you are really mentally retarded, an ordinary jade pendant can be used as fifty taels of silver? That person could not have deliberately pretended to be a son? Mentally retarded. Mentally retarded. ”

"Zhu Chang, are you a pig? The shop in the east of the city came to borrow money, you didn't go to see the current situation of other people's shops, right? It's almost bankrupt, aren't you obviously sending money out? With this money, I might as well buy a coffin and send it to them? It's a benevolent righteousness, but now I can't wait to slaughter your pig's head and drink. Pig heads. ”

These words are all domineering and arbitrary, and there is no second voice in them, which is obviously not refuted.

Ji Yunqing walked slowly to the counter and said, "I came to find you in charge of something important. ”

The little guy on the counter listened to the insults inside, and when he saw the arrival of the guests, he hurriedly put away his look of stealing fun, turned his head and asked with a smile: "The owner of the small shop is a pawn, a deposit, a loan of silver, and a guarantee ......"

"I know better than you what you do, so go and call your treasurer. ”

The little guy slightly observed Ji Yunqing's dress and appearance, and saw Ji Yunqing's determined appearance, although he was reluctant, he was also afraid of delaying the important matters of the distinguished guests, and he was even more afraid that he would be scolded by the old man of Xiaoge when the time came, so he quickly turned around and went into the inner room to ask for instructions.

"What kind of guest it is, and what kind of matter it is. Lao Tzu is angry, if you lie about the news, you kid just wait. The voice was not loud or small, just as Ji Yunqing could hear it.

After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked out of the inner hall, and his two goatees added a bit of cunning to him.

"I don't know what your guests are doing when they come to the door. "The so-called smiling face welcomes people and is good for business, and Xiao Ge Lao's smile at the moment has a bit of scrutiny in it.

"Don't think about it, don't guess more, I have something for you to see, I don't know if you recognize it, if you don't recognize it, you can give it to Yi Ge Lao to see." Ji Yunqing took out an extremely delicate jade plate, and the pattern was like a cloud of mist.

Being able to call his father's surname directly, and what kind of object it is, Yi Xiaoge couldn't help but pay attention to it at the moment.

"Yi Ge is my father, you might as well let me take a look first. He took the jade plaque with both hands, the jade plaque was as soft as mutton fat, and in the middle of the front of the jade pendant was the word "Ji". On the back, the surrounding auspicious clouds are rolling, the dragon body is completely covered, only the dragon head and dragon claws appear hideously, and the inviolable majesty is vividly displayed.

This object was clearly the same thing that his father had told him to pay attention to. And this surname Ji, as far as he knows, is a big surname in those clans, and he has to be served respectfully.

"I recognize this object. I don't know what Childe commanded?" said Yi Xiaoge cautiously after returning the jade pendant.

"I want to put this girl in your attic, so that she can learn her skills and increase her knowledge. Ji Yunqing pointed to the little girl behind him and said.

"But art or something else?"

"Nature is the art of learning. But it's just a matter of learning. If you don't sign a contract, you can only restrain her, not detain her. ”

"Childe, what is this saying, we will naturally treat her like a guest. ”

"It's good to be treated with ordinary learning and art, don't take too much care of it. ”

Yi Xiaoge thought in his heart, the treatment of ordinary learning and arts, there is no need to take more care, this is extremely interesting, whether it is the opposite or the same, this has to be figured out by him.

"I don't know ...... childe"

"It's a clan thing, and there's no need to ask. ”

After a few more brief explanations, he turned around and left.

Handed over this thin little girl to the cunning old fox like this, Ji Yunqing couldn't predict what kind of story would happen next. He just did what the Master wanted. What's more, the eccentric old man who was probably his uncle last night said that this woman has an unpredictable appearance. If even these demons and monsters can't be subdued, how can they expect to be high-spirited in the future?

Looking at the little girl in front of him who had never spoken, Yi Xiaoge grinned.

I didn't tell when I was going to pick her up, I'm afraid she just stood here, so she can't blame me if she can't learn it herself. It doesn't matter if a haughty boy is on a whim, or is there a master behind him? It doesn't matter, the important thing is that as long as you enter this pavilion, everyone will listen to me.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Gu Dian. The little girl's skin was slightly dark, showing weakness, and two words popped out, making Yi Xiaoge squint and chuckle.

------------------

Different from Xiaoge Lao, Yi Ge Lao likes to wear coarse cloth clothes and eat coarse tea and light rice three times a day. This habit has been maintained since his youth. In this regard, after being persuaded by the elder Xiaoge, who is willing to spend money, several times to no avail, he can't help but joke that the old man does not forget his roots. Yi Ge Lao did not defend this much.

Looking at the vegetable seedlings in his yard being green, Yi Ge wiped the sweat from his forehead with a coarse cloth, and his face was satisfied. He often said that when people are old, how big can they take care of the family business, and it is already very good to be able to take care of the affairs of their own vegetable garden. Fortunately, although his son is domineering and domineering, he will not do all kinds of evil. He is also happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper and let him make trouble.

He lay on the wooden chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, there was no grandson Yilong beside him, but he was happy and quiet, and his thoughts flew higher and higher with the kite outside the yard.

There was an old man who pushed the door in like an old friend. His white beard seemed to come from a long distance, and the gray tattered Taoist robe on his body accentuated his embarrassment.

When Yi Ge Lao saw this person, his lips trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, and regardless of his current identity, he stepped forward and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, you finally came to me." Do you know my ......"

The old man just touched Yi Ge's head, laughed and comforted: "I know, I know." Thou hast sent men everywhere to find my trail. Now that I see you so promising, my uncle is relieved. You don't have to be the way you used to be. ”

"Over the years, I have seen that you are conscientious, conscientious and conscientious, and you have done many things very well, and you have maintained the affairs of the clan, my uncle is very pleased. I came to you today, I knew that the end was coming, and I would ride away, and you also knew that my uncle had no children and no daughters under his knees, a lonely old man, and among many nephews, only you were the most worried. Over the years, I have been hiding in Tibet, which has disturbed your conscience, and I am also unhappy in my heart, so I have come to visit you. Second, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, your uncle and I have never asked for much in my life, and now when I am dying, I have one thing to ask you for, can you agree?"

Yi Ge Lao nodded hurriedly and said, "Don't say one, it's a hundred and thousand, and I will agree." ”

"I have one person entrusted to you, her name is Gu Dian, and now she is in your shop, and you can cultivate her and make her successful, just like I treated you back then. There's a cyan jade slip here, and you can keep it. In the future, when Gu Dianzhen can't get over the difficulties, you will hand it over to her. ”

"In the future, Gu Dian will entrust you, I don't ask you to treat her as your own daughter, just let you be more attentive to her. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat her as a dear relative. ”

"That's good, Can'er. The first time the old man called out that name, it was the same as when he called the poor boy.

"I'm going to go. If you really have a heart, thinking of your uncle's goodness, you can kneel and knock in front of the southwest corner. The old man understands. Don't do anything else. With that, the old man disappeared like smoke.

"Uncle, uncle....." Elder Yi Ge shouted loudly, unconsciously waking up from a dream.

He dreamed so much that he found his head covered in sweat. He wanted to gently wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, but he found that there was an extra thing in his hand, and the cyan jade in his dream was in his hand.

Yi Can finally burst into tears and hurriedly knelt down, but he disobeyed his uncle's will and bowed three times and nine times to the southwest corner.

"Uncle, uncle, Can'er is not filial, Can'er failed to fulfill the slightest filial piety during your lifetime, and even you ......" What kind of sadness should it be to make an old man over half a hundred years old cry so bitterly?

He was saved by his uncle when his parents died, he was sick and sick, and his life was miserable, and he was sent to this attic when people were eating each other's children.

Such a great grace can not be accomplished by kneeling three times and knocking nine times.

I don't know where my uncle died in the end? Can'er can't support you in the end, and she can't wear filial piety in front of the grave. It's really unfilial. The old man was in deep love, and he couldn't stop crying.

The gray-robed old man looked at the twilight, the sun gradually setting, as if the world was also saying goodbye to him. He thought to himself what kind of person he was in this life. Does it matter? It doesn't matter. I have someone to say that I have done something in this life.

After a long time, he smiled at the black-robed old man and said, "If you say that we were all the best in the world. No one is convinced of anyone. Even today, I am not convinced by you. Master is eccentric, why should he give you this pavilion? Could it be that you are really his illegitimate child?"

The black-robed old man didn't talk back.

"Later, I learned that it was you who acted calmly and were able to pass on this pavilion in peace. When you think about it, you're just a passerby, not a host. I was relieved. Ha ha. ”

"We are all passers-by. The black-robed old man said.

The black-robed old man clearly felt that the old man's oil was running out, and he draped the blanket over him.

The gray-robed old man did not refuse, waved his hand, beckoned the little beggar he was carrying that day, and said, "Little beggar, I'm afraid the old Taoist priest can't teach you." However, if you want to know this person, you must know that the old man in the black robe is the biggest liar in the gang of gods and sticks in the rivers and lakes. If you learn from him, you will be able to travel all over the rivers and lakes, and you will have no worries about food and clothing. ”

The little beggar bit his lip with his teeth, and later, covered his mouth with his hand. He also knew that this old man seemed to be going to another world.

"Xu Jingwei. You also have the surname Xu. The gray-robed old man said with a smile.

"Senior brother, this name is okay. The gray-robed old man asked, tilting his head slightly.

The black-robed old man nodded and said, "This name is magnificent. ”

"It's rare that you're willing to praise me once. The old Taoist priest still won once. In the future, I will entrust that child to you. I just hope he doesn't hold a grudge against me. ”

"Do you remember the ballad that Master sang that year?"

The black-robed old man was speechless, nodded, and then his voice trembled, and he sang in a low voice: "The wind rises and falls, and the white clouds gather and scatter the white clouds." It is easy to peck and difficult to drink, and the disaster is unpredictable and the blessing is easy to eliminate. Ask where the gods are out, and the world is scattered everywhere······" The old man's voice grew lower and lower.

Until the end, the black-robed old man who was the head of the contemporary speech couldn't bear to look at it, but his eyes were full of tears, "Congratulations to Senior Brother, go west." ”

On that day, heavy snow fell from the sky, which is rare in a hundred years.
