"Hehe, I think back then, your master, Yan Lingyu, is not afraid of the sky and the earth, you are worthy of being his apprentice, okay! Yiyang Village will leave it to the three of you! After that, Mr. Yan bowed deeply to the three of them, and the three of them quickly returned the salute when they saw this.

Later, Mr. Juan shouted to the back room: "Kite, prepare food and drinks, and march for the children." ”

"Huan Che! You old man, this Yin soldier is going to pass by the door tonight, how dare you cook! An old woman came out of the back room, followed by a little girl.

Mr. Juan smiled and beckoned to the old woman: "Come, Iris, the three of them are Yan Lingyu's apprentices!" ”。

The old woman came to the three of them with the little girl, and Mr. Juan introduced his wife to the three of them, revealing deep love between his words.

"This is my wife, Purple Kite, she is your master's old acquaintance and Yan Lingyu's senior sister."

"Hello Uncle Purple Kite! My three brothers have a lot of troubles, and I hope you will bear with me! Gong Wan saluted the purple kite.

Purple Kite looked at the three of them, liked them very much, and said happily: "In the end, it is Yan Lingyu's apprentice, each spirit, it's so good, it's really good." Come, girl, salute the three gentlemen. ”

The purple kite put her hand on the back of the little girl's neck and motioned for her to come forward and salute the three of them, but the little girl hugged her mother-in-law and pressed her face tightly against her mother-in-law, only exposing the back of her head to the three of them.

Seeing that the girl was shy and refused to salute, the purple kite said a little embarrassedly: "This girl is too timid and shy, it's really rude." ”

Gong Wanran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no." ”

At this time, Zhang Xun suddenly walked around the back of the purple kite, half-squatted down, tilted his head and smiled at the girl's hippie face.

When the girl saw Zhang Xun, she was even more embarrassed, she quickly turned her face away to avoid Zhang Xun's gaze. But Zhang Xun didn't give up, and continued to go around in circles, frolicking and playing with the girl.

"Xiao Xun, don't make trouble." Gong Wanran smiled and shook his head, and then saluted Mr. Juan and said, "Mr. Juan, how old is this child?" ”

"Oh, this girl is ten years old this year, she has been growing up with the two of us, and she hasn't seen her father and mother much, so she is timid by nature, afraid of people, and is a hard-working child." Mr. Juan sighed.

"Is it only your second elder and this child in Mr. Hi's family?"

"Hey, yes, I only have one son with Kite to become an adult, this son is a good son, at first he was an official in the village because of his filial piety, and then the plague suddenly broke out in the village, he led the people to resist the plague and saved the lives of most of the people in the village. Because of his meritorious work in curing the epidemic, three years later, he was transferred to the capital - Gusu as an official, and he went for more than six years, and he didn't come back a few times in the middle, so the little girl didn't see her father much. ”

"Why don't you take her to Gusu with you?"

"Hey, it's also a sin, my son has a son and a daughter, but he only took away his son and left the girl, it's really bitter for this girl."

Gong Wanran nodded, and then stopped asking, but Zhang Xun came over and asked: "Since the children are in pairs, they should be brought with them together, so they can be called 'good', why did you leave only the girl?" ”

"Hey, it's just that this girl's life is not good."

"Bad life?" Zhang Xun was very puzzled.

Mr. Juan shook his head and sighed lightly, his expression gloomy, as if he was unwilling to say any more.

At this moment, the little girl turned her head and looked at the three of them with wide eyes.

Gong Wanran squatted down and asked the little girl in a very gentle voice, "What's your name?" ”

"I ...... My name is...... Frost ......" The little girl said her name in an extremely weak voice, and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Gong Yanran.

"Is it the frost of the frost, the tutu of the flowers?" Gong Wanran smiled.

"Well......" The little girl raised her chin slightly, looked at Gong Wan and nodded, she wore a double bun, a lock of hair hung down in front of her ears, long eyelashes dotted with clear eyes, nose and mouth delicate and small, the girl's immaturity and loveliness, like a spring under the crystal ice and snow, like a bud between the tender green new leaves.

Zhang Xun leaned over again and said: "Frost, it's really a good name, the name is good, and the people are good-looking, but this tulip flower will bloom in April, not competing with the group of flowers, waiting for spring to summer, but why do you have to match the word 'frost'?" ”

Mr. Juan sighed and said, "When her mother was nine months pregnant, she was in a very bad state, and she was pale all day long, coughing incessantly, and one morning, her father went up to the mountains to collect medicine, and saw a thin layer of frost hanging on the blooming flowers, so he thought that if it was a girl, she would use this name. Not long after that, the child was born, but I didn't expect that because of frailty and premature birth, adults couldn't keep it, hey......"

"You bad old man, what are you talking about?" Purple Kite reprimanded.

Seeing this, Elder Wang hurriedly played a round, "Brother Yan, this child is so ashamed, he must have been killed by the Yin soldiers, gentlemen can use magic to save our village, sister-in-law, why don't you go and get some wine and food, so that my brothers and sisters can give the gentlemen a strong trip." ”

Mr. Juan hurriedly nodded and said: "Okay, okay, when I see the grandson of the old man and the disciple of the old friend today, the past will inevitably come to mind, hey, don't say it, don't say it, Iris, you go and prepare wine and food, the five of us have a good drink." ”

After a short time, the purple kite prepared a table of wine and food, although there was no hot food, it was also rich. The five of them knelt down in front of the desk, and Mr. Juan raised the wine jue and toasted to everyone: "Thank you for the children's help, come, please drink this jue." ”

The three of them raised the wine lord, and then, Ji Zheng said: "I will definitely do my best, and please rest assured Mr. Juan and Elder Wang!" ”

After that, the five of them drank it all.

As soon as Zhang Xun put down the wine, he shook his head and said very enjoyably: "Good wine, really good wine, if I guess correctly, this wine should be the famous wine of Yue Guo - silk cloth." ”

"Oh? Xiao Xun can actually taste what kind of wine this is?! Terrible! Terrible! Yes, this wine is the famous wine of the Yue country that has been stored for 16 years - silk! Xiao Xun is really a person who knows wine! Ha ha! Mr. Yan approvingly.

"Sixteen years of hiding? It's amazing, it's terrible, it's unbelievable, it's unacceptable in March, it's over the south of the Yangtze River, it's the spring of the hundred mountains, it's brewing the grains of the south of the Yangtze River, it's the essence of the sun and the moon, it's the creation of heaven and earth, the wine has a spirit, the twenty-eight girls, the fog is stinging, the dance is light, the tenderness is outstanding, the beauty is beautiful! Beautiful! Zhang Xun held up the wine lord and said slowly.

"Haha! Xiao Xun knows so much about wine, come, drink again! Mr. Juan was full of joy, and after that, he drank Juezhong wine with Zhang Xun.

After listening to Zhang Xun's words, Gong Wanran raised the wine again, sniffed it gently, and said to himself: "I don't know much about wine, but if this wine is silk wine, then it is some fate, I tasted wine for the first time when I was a child, and I tasted this silk wine, I was ashamed to say it, but I just felt that it was difficult to enter my throat." ”

"Oh? Is there such a fate? Haha, haha, good! Come, come, let's drink together! Mr. Juan raised the wine jue, and after the five of them saluted each other, they drank the wine again.

Zhang Xun put down the wine and said: "Mr. Yan, in fact, when I heard your surname, I had some questions, and now that I drink this famous wine of Yueguo, I have to ask, dare to ask you are from Yueguo?" ”

"Haha, yes, I was originally from Yueguo, I left Yueguo when I was young, and then settled here." Mr. Yan wiped the wine from his beard, and then poured it over.

"According to your surname, it must be a nobleman of the Yue Kingdom, right?"

"Hey." Mr. Juan waved his hand, sighed, and said: "It's all old things, I came here, I just want to have no quarrel with the world, who wants their descendants to intervene in the current situation, no matter what, no matter what, everyone has their own ambitions, each has their own way to go, let them go." ”

Seeing that the topic was far away, Elder Wang hurriedly raised the wine lord, stared at Ji Zheng and asked, "Three gentlemen, it is not easy to crack this Yin soldier, dare to ask what kind of spell the three gentlemen know?" ”

Ji Zheng smiled and arched his hand and said, "Elder Wang smiled, the three of us don't know any spells. ”

"Huh?! This?? Elder Wang was taken aback.

"However, what I just said is not a lie, although we don't understand magic, but we know that there is no magic in this world, and some are just deceitful and pretending to be mysterious, so this so-called Yin soldier borrowing the Tao must have a reason, it is not the dead borrowing the way of the living, but the living borrowing the name of the dead! The missing people in the village must have been taken captive by these vicious people! ”

"Is it really what the gentleman said?"

"Humph! Tonight, let him show his original form! ”
