I practiced the dog-beating stick method in the mountains for half a day.

I didn't urge the internal force, I just practiced the moves. I am afraid that the movement will be too big and destroy the plants on the hill.

These mountains are also the source of income for the farmers, and the people in the village also have to go up to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and fruits, dig up medicinal herbs, and then pick up some small game.

Therefore, Luo Changning is looking forward to the destructive power of the dog-beating stick method with the heart method.

Near noon, Luo Changning went to yesterday's 100 small villages, bought two chickens and a few catties of rice wine, and by the way, bought a few catties of white rice.

However, the place to buy chickens was not the house of the middle-aged couple yesterday. Because Luo Changning knew that if he appeared, the couple would definitely return the extra silver taels to him.

The two who are not masters and apprentices, but are better than masters and apprentices, had a beautiful and full meal in the mountains.

In addition to calling Hua Ji and Hua Rice, there are also a few fat bamboo leaves, which He Guanzhong caught in the bamboo forest.

It was simply baked with salt and pepper.

To be honest, the taste was not as delicious as Luo Changning imagined, but He Guanzhong ate it with relish, and laughed at him for not knowing how to enjoy it. He only ate less than half of it, and the rest went into He Guanzhong's stomach.

It was the first time in two lives that people had eaten this mysterious and beautiful creature, and Luo Changning couldn't understand why there were always people who liked this thing in his past and present lives.

In his heart, the snake is a very attractive creature, and the more poisonous it is, the more beautiful it is. Especially the bamboo leaves are green, the emerald green scales, and the dark red pupils are fascinating.

Wiping his oily lips, Luo Changning knew it was time for him to leave.

With a reluctant face, he said to He Guanzhong: "Brother He, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other." ”

He Guanzhong was very open-minded, and said with a chic smile: "There is no banquet in the world, and we can meet each other by fate, and our fate will never end here." See you next time, little old man, I will teach you other exercises. I hope you have already advanced to the Innate Realm by then! ”

Luo Changning smiled lightly: "Accept your auspicious words." ”

The two said goodbye again, and Luo Changning left. Go down the mountain and go to Heishui County.

went down the mountain, performed light skills, and rushed to Heishui County. Finally, before the sun went down, we arrived at the Evergreen Inn.

The Evergreen Inn occupies a large area and is luxurious, far from being comparable to Goldman Sachs Restaurant.

The main store in front is five stories high, and the two floors below are dining places, the first floor is the lobby and the second floor is a private room.

The third floor is full of guest rooms, and after the main store, there is a separate small courtyard for guests to live, which is extremely luxurious, and those who can afford to live are rich people. Most of them are local figures with heads and faces, or businessmen who want to go to the wild jungle to purchase goods and pass through Heishui County to live temporarily.

In addition, there are stables that can accommodate dozens of horses, as well as places for juniors, handymen, and cooks to stay.

In the hall on the first floor of the inn, on the middle table, Ma Qingyun and others were sitting around.

Ma Xue'e was weakly pulling the white rice in the bowl while looking at the gradually dark street, bored.

Drooping little head.

"Why hasn't Brother Changning come to us yet? It's been a whole day, oh no, nothing will happen to him, could it be that he met Gao Haitian's ugly monkey and was in trouble? ”

Xiang Yinglong: Jealousy, what should I do if I am jealous, I knew that I would go with him......

"Don't worry, that kid in Changning is assertive, it must be that the matter has not been resolved yet, and it has been delayed for the time being." Xiang Tong comforted on the side.

As Xiang Ao's good brother and most important subordinate, he obviously knows his young master's friends very well.

"That's it, that guy is very fateful, and he came back alive last time he was thrown into the sea by Gao Haitian." Xiang Yinglong echoed on the side.

"Maybe he met a great opportunity, maybe ......"

Ma Qingyun was suspicious and speculated about He Guanzhong's status in the beggar gang when he was in the tea stall, and later, the news that the boss secretly passed on to him also confirmed his thoughts.

There are not many people in this world who have seen the true face of the beggar gang leader, and the tea stall owner is fortunate to be one of them, who has seen He Guanzhong once, even if he is covered in mud, he can recognize it.

Because he has always been like that, even after more than ten years, nothing has changed.

It's dirty, but it's impossible to ignore his existence.

Ma Qingyun naturally knew that He Guanzhong was not an idle person, and if he was good friends with him, he would benefit a lot. But he held himself a noble status and did not want to be called a brother to a beggar.

What's more, he also knew that the martial arts of the Beggar Gang would never be passed on, and if he wanted to join the Beggar Gang just to learn peerless magic skills, it would be impossible.

His pride, not allowed!

His surname, even more not allowed!

As soon as Luo Changning appeared on the street outside the Evergreen Inn, Ma Xue'e saw him.

The apricot eyes were shining, and she rushed towards him with her skirt and threw herself into his arms at once.

A cute girl in a pink dress hugged the waist of the little boy tightly, and there was not much difference in height between the two. The girl had just reached the delicate chin of the little boy's white jade, and as soon as she looked up, she could see him looking at her gently.

The smiling girl and the handsome teenager amazed the diners and the pedestrians on the street.

For a moment, everyone looked at them with bated breath, for fear of ruining the beautiful picture in front of them. There was no malicious speculation in my heart, I just felt a pulse of warmth lingering in my heart.

The spoiling of a teenager, the innocence of a girl.

"Brother Changning, you're back! Xue'e is in a hurry, for fear that something will happen to you. ”

"Heh, I'm going to be fine. It's me who is wrong, Sister Xue'e is worried, and I will punish myself with three cups later. ”

Looking at the arrogant and worried look on Ma Xue'e's face, in a trance, he remembered the only girl who gave him a good life in his previous life.

Thinking of the man's naked and bruised death, Luo Changning frowned and tightened the hand around Ma Xue'e's waist.

He wouldn't let that happen again.

He will protect her.

Ma Xue'e smiled and bent her eyes, and looked at him with a focused expression: "I won't let Brother Changning be in danger." You are the first person I have ever met besides my brother and my first friend. I'll protect you! ”

Luo Changning smiled: A girl said that she wanted to protect herself, which feels too weird.

But he also knew she meant it.

But I don't want to say it later, recalling this scene, I only feel painful, and the past becomes a memory......

Rubbing her little head lovingly, the two walked side by side into the inn and sat down on the two empty stools.

"Your kid is finally here, Sister Xue'e has been talking about you for a long time, and you haven't eaten a few bites." Xiang Yinglong complained to his good brother.

Although he has a good impression of Ma Xue'e, he is also self-aware, and he knows that girls like her can't look down on him. Especially there are young people like Luo Changning around him, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, not only good-looking and ink in his stomach, but also from a family.

And he Xiang Yinglong is just a rough person, and he will talk nervously and stutter in front of her, and his typical muscles are more developed than his brain.

The picture of the two hugging each other just now is so harmonious, handsome men and beautiful women, as if they were a natural pair.

Moreover, the difference can be glimpsed from Ma Xue'e's name for the two, one is Brother Changning, and the other is Brother Xiang.

Xiang Yinglong lowered his eyelids, bitter in his heart: I'm afraid that she is friends with herself, and it is also because of Changning......

But he has always been open-minded, he can see everything, and he will not be estranged from his brother because of a girl.

He smiled and put away the thousands of thoughts in his heart.

He filled Luo Changning with a glass of wine and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, it's the master who drank this glass of wine, don't shirk!" ”

"Brother Xiang is right, you should be punished!"

Ma Xue'e looked up with a palm-sized face, crossed her thin waist, and stared at Luo Changning with a blank expression.

"Okay."

Luo Changning took the wine glass and drank it all.

At the meal, everyone ate very happily, except for Ma Qingyun, who had a cold face and didn't know what to think.

But he had always been like this, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.

After the meal, Ma Xue'e proposed to go to the night market.

Yaohua Continent does not have a curfew like Dilong Continent, but it becomes more and more lively at night. There are even countless nightcrawlers who do things like stealing chickens and dogs, stealing jade and stealing incense.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, when people are killed and set on fire.

"During the day, I was worried that Brother Changning would not find us when he came to the inn, so I endured it and didn't go out, but I was suffocated! Tonight, be sure to take a good look at the night market in Heishui County! "Ma Xue'e is ready to move.

So, the group went out with the silver.

Ma Qingyun and Xiang Tong naturally didn't have much interest in visiting the night market, so they had no choice but to be the bodyguards of a few people, so they had to accompany them.

It's autumn, the night is as cool as water, and the wind is already cold.

Luo Changning looked up at the moon, and when the game was over, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today there is one less cousin, more Ma family brothers and sisters and a big stupid bear, but it is even more lively. The Su family's courtyard has added a bit of popularity, and it will not be so empty when admiring the moon.

This competition must win the first place, so that the aunt is happy and happy, and prove to her that his Ning'er has grown up and can support her for a while.

I really want to end everything here quickly and go back to Qingyang County to accompany my aunt for the Mid-Autumn Festival......
