Chapter XXXVIII

(Thanks to the domineering reward of xx people, I clenched my fists and asked for a collection of red tickets)

Except for Wuluan, a girl who was punished for introspection in a cage who didn't know what it meant, everyone else followed Ye Huaisleeve into the wooden-built hut that looked rather simple. Outside the small courtyard of the grass house is a half-circle, which cannot prevent thieves and wolves, and even the fence of a five-year-old child cannot be stopped, and it seems that someone is very careless when the fence is put up, so that the gap in the fence is wide enough to drill through a fat hare, and if a thief comes, whether it is drilling or jumping, it can easily pass. Li Xian looked at the fence wall carefully, and thought of the woman and the dog for no reason.

"Who put up this fence?"

Curiosity and Sanba's heart made Li Xian still can't help but ask.

Ye Huaisleeve paused, Li Xian didn't know whether it was dazzled or dizzy, and he saw her straighten her chest slightly, and then said a word with a little pride.

"Me"

Li Xian wanted to say that the people you invited to work on the construction were so lazy that they should pull them out and tie them to the pillar and shoot thirty arrows, but after hearing this word, he swallowed the words into his stomach. If you swallow it back, you can't digest it for a while, so you have to quietly release an original fart that turns a thousand times.

"This ...... The fence is very artistic. ”

Li Xian scratched his hair and smiled wryly.

Ye Huaisleeve turned around and glared at Li Xian, looking charming.

"If you think it's ugly, just say it, why swallow it back so uncomfortable?"

Her chin was round and smooth, with a little bit of pride that people couldn't put down.

"A fence is not a fence"

She said something that sounded completely contradictory, and it was clear that a very idiotic sentence came out of her mouth with a bit of Buddhism and righteousness. Just as a great monk with exquisite Buddhism said that mountains are not mountains, rivers, not water, not flowers, they are all unfathomable in a small world, which makes people want to cry.

It's just that Ye Huaisleeve's words then shattered this artistic conception, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made Li Xian surprised how many sides this woman had, and why each side was so realistic and so comfortable.

"This is what I use to tie up to raise flowers"

Her slender jade hand stretched out from the wide sleeves of her lilac coat, pointed to the bottom of the fence and said, "A few days ago, I asked a friend to send two or three hundred roses from the Central Plains, and I put them in and poured some water. Although it is bitterly cold in Saibei, I think that the tenacity of the rose flower will still bloom a few small flowers this summer. A wall of turquoise and dotted with pink, don't you think it's beautiful? ”

Charm turns into innocence, and this transformation is completed in an instant, but it is not abrupt at all. Li Xian had to admire that this world can embody these two contradictory temperaments so naturally, it is none other than Ye everyone.

"Ye everyone is so interested"

Li Xian praised from the bottom of his heart.

Planting a wall of roses in a bitter cold place, and a wall of green grass and flowers here in the middle of summer next year, think about it, it is indeed too beautiful to say.

"You can call me Auntie"

Ye Huai smiled and said three words in a charming manner: "Little guy." ”

Li Xian didn't think so: "I only have one aunt, and now I should be in Yanshan." ”

"You're talking about the Red Buddha."

Ye Huaisleeve glanced back in the direction of the Central Plains: "I haven't seen her for a long time, I'm in Yuyang City, she is in Baxian Mountain, only a dozen miles apart, and occasionally we will meet for tea and chat." ”

"She's a strange woman."

Like a summary, and like a reminiscence, Ye Huaisleeve said lightly.

"You're a strange woman, too."

Li Xian said sincerely.

Ye Huaisleeve smiled and stopped talking.

Walking through the fence wall, Li Xian saw the legendary stone at the door of the cottage. It's not too big, but it's about two meters in size. One side is as smooth as a mirror, and the other side is stacked like a peak. The smooth place is like a knife cutting an axe, but no matter how you look at it, you can't see the traces of man-made.

This place is called Xuanwu Peak

Ye Huai sleeve

The seven big characters are really like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and they actually carry a fierce spirit of a golden iron horse. The three small characters below are hairpins, delicate and elegant.

From these ten words, you can see the different temperament of the owner here.

Li Xian subconsciously stopped in front of the big stone for two minutes, until Daxi Changru turned around and urged him to take his eyes off the stone, took a deep breath and then spit out, and involuntarily said: "Good words, really good words!" Sure enough, it's a basalt peak. ”

Hearing his words, Ye Huaisleeve pursed his lips and smiled, but the girl in white, who was always as indifferent as water, frowned slightly, and could not hide the disgust between her eyebrows.

Even Daxi Changru paused and threw a few meaningful glances at Li Xian.

"What's so good?"

Ye Huaisleeve stood by the door of the wooden house and asked with a smile.

In this way, it is not the first time she has asked, and she doesn't know how many people are standing by that stone, so the way the work is appreciating the meaning of the words, and Ye Huaisleeve will receive countless sycophant compliments every time she asks, which stinks. Among them, there are those who think they are talents, there are those who think they are powerful, and there are people who are both. And these people are either sanctimonious or straightforward, but they actually have some dirty thoughts, just to have some ulterior affairs with the Ye family.

Later, after hearing too much, Ye Huaisleeve didn't bother to ask again.

Since the words of the answer were disgusting with hypocrisy and disgusting from the other, then why should she ask for trouble for herself?

In Ye Huaisleeve's opinion, Li Xian is different from those men, he is still young, and the age when he has just tied his hair is when his heart is pure and clean, so she will have this question. If Li Xian knew that she thought so, he was afraid that he would snicker and laugh so proudly that he couldn't extricate himself.

"What's so good?"

She asked.

Li Xian stood next to the stone and muttered for a while, raised his head and looked at Ye Huaisleeve's eyes, and said two words very seriously and nonsense.

"Harmony"

"Harmony?"

Ye Huaisleeve was stunned, and then smiled with relief: "Sure enough, it's an interesting little guy." ”

This is the second time today that she has said the word "little one", but there is no doubt that the second time was a little more appreciative and affectionate than the first. Hearing these two words, even the girl in white who frowned slightly was slightly stunned, then pondered, and then her eyebrows quietly curved into a beautiful arc, and the corners of her mouth also outlined a very small smile. She glanced at Li Xian slightly, as if she wanted to see what the young man looked like.

Li Xian smiled shyly, looking a little embarrassed. What he thought in his heart was to thank his previous life for carrying forward such a beautiful word, looking at Ye Huaisleeve's smile, he knew that at least he was not a failure in the link of reading words. He was right, even on the edge of the stone, and he didn't know how many self-righteous men were driven away directly, and how many people with a slightly rogue surname tasted Jia'er's stick.

When they entered the house, they were seated separately.

Ye Huaisleeve whispered a few words to Jia'er, and Jia'er had a lot of surprise on her face.

After a while, Jia'er walked in with a set of tools for making tea. Ye Huaisleeve took it and put it on the low table, it turned out that he wanted to make tea by himself.

The host's family makes tea with their own hands, which is a very grand hospitality. For a while, the whole room became solemn, and even Li Xian involuntarily sat up straight and became an old monk.

This method of boiling tea is very complicated and trivial, and if Li Xian is replaced, he will not want to learn it. Ye Huai's movements were soothing and gentle, his wrists were raised lightly, and his slender neck was slightly crooked, making him look even more white and charming. She completed all the steps meticulously, her movements were coherent and gentle, elegant and quiet, and she really showed the softness of women to the fullest.

The tea soup with a little salt is very mellow, and the tea is fragrant.

Li Xian was very awkward and uncomfortable, taking a sip of tea with a posture, feeling that he was really not an elegant person. Whether it is three or five silver horns on the grassland to buy ten catties of tea bricks, or the fragrant tea that can only be tasted among the scholars, in his opinion, it is really a very uncomfortable thing to taste it slowly.

"You say, you want me to help you fight the knife?"

Holding the delicate porcelain cup in both hands, Ye Huaisleeve asked Li Xiandao with a smile.

Li Xian nodded hurriedly, thought about it and said directly: "Master has worked hard to find a piece of meteoric iron from somewhere, and I want to ask Ye to help you create a knife that can be used in hand." ”

"Knives?"

Ye Huaisleeve put down the teacup, straightened his body and asked, "The Ye family's grass house has not been opened since five years ago. ”

She waved her hand to signal Li Xian not to speak in a hurry, thought about it and said seriously: "During this period, it is not that no one asked me to help build weapons, from princes and princes to the pawns in the rivers and lakes, but there are more than thirty or fifty people who have a little friendship with the Ye family in the past five years, but none of them have ever gone out of the grass house. ”

She asked, "Do you know why?" ”

Li Xian thought for a while and said, "Ye family wants to seal the furnace?" ”

Ye Huaisleeve shook his head, turned his head and asked Daxi Changru again: "The general may have guessed?" ”

Daxi Changru thought seriously for a long time, and finally sighed and shook his head.

Ye Huaisleeve smiled and said, "You guys are very lucky. ”

She stood up and said, "Because there are no materials that I can look at, the grass house will not be opened." ”

"The thing you're holding on horseback?"

She asked.

Daxi Changru nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Ye Huaisleeve suddenly put away his smile and asked, "You don't know if I agree to such a valuable thing, and I don't know if I will take it away by force, why do you have to bring it with you?" Don't tell me anything that you can trust the character and morality of the Ye family, in the past ten years, there are really not a few good things that I have taken a fancy to and then robbed. It is said in the rivers and lakes that Ye Huai is calm and gentle, but it is because the people who know my cruel and vicious side are already dead. ”

She walked to Li Xian's side, leaned over and exhaled like an orchid against Li Xian's ear: "Since I arrived here a year ago, there have been not a hundred but eighty dead people buried outside the grass house in this year, aren't you worried that my tea is poisoned?" ”

Li Xian was stunned at first, and his body tilted slightly and the distance between him and Ye Huaisleeve widened a little.

He looked at Ye Huaisleeve's eyes and said very seriously: "I am not familiar with you, so I can't talk about your character and morality." As for why I brought the meteorite with me, I was naturally not arrogant and arrogant, thinking that no one could snatch it. When I came, my master told me that there must be wolf riders stationed within thirty miles of the grassland. Don't say that only the master and I are coming, even if there are ten or twenty more, they can't stop the rush of thousands of wolf riders. ”

"The reason why I want to bring it here is because I am a very lazy person, so I am too lazy to run back and forth, too lazy to finally ask you to be willing to help, but because I can't wait for me to go back and get the meteorite and come over, you will regret it. I think I know a little bit about women's fickleness. ”

Ye Huaisleeve was not angry, but asked with a smile: "It's that simple?" ”

"It's as simple as that."

Li Xian smiled, and a silver needle appeared from the palm of his hand: "In addition, I am very suspicious, although I have no intention of harming people when I come to Ye for the first time, I have to be a little more guarded." A senior told me that in fact, women are the best at deceiving people, and the more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive people. So before drinking tea, I have tried it with a silver needle. ”

He smiled harmlessly, even with a little reserve: "Of course, if the tea is sweat medicine, the silver needle will definitely not be able to try, and I can only consider myself unlucky." ”

Ye Huai Sleeve stood up straight, looked at the monster and glanced at Li Xian: "Who taught you to be so scoundrel and cautious?" ”

Li Xian thought for a while and replied seriously: "I have a grandfather named Zhang Zhongjian, an aunt named Red Buddha, and a master named Daxi Changru, plus I have a good talent, so whether it is a scoundrel or a prudence, it can barely be said." ”

When he said this, in fact, Daxi Changru's face had already changed. He didn't expect that Li Xian would tell the truth so directly and ruthlessly.

Ye Huaisleeve walked back and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of fragrant tea. The room became very silent, so silent that Li Xian could even hear his own heartbeat. Ye Huaisleeve didn't speak for a long time after sitting down, and he didn't even raise his head to look at Li Xian and Daxi Changru. Jia'er stood quietly behind her, looking at Li Xian's eyes became very strange. And the girl in white was drinking tea by herself from beginning to end, completely staying out of the matter and generally ignoring it. Li Xian even wondered if this girl who looked a little different in temperament was a mute.

After a long time, the cup has long since run out of tea.

Ye Huaisleeve sighed lightly and said, "Go and get the meteorite iron, open the furnace tomorrow." ”

Li Xian was overjoyed in his heart, and he stood up to give a salute, but was stopped by Ye Huaisleeve.

She seemed tired, and seemed a little disappointed: "If he hadn't come and told me that the meteorite was given to you, how could I have promised you?" ”

Standing up and walking to the door, Ye Huaisleeve said lightly: "You speculate in your heart that I am a straightforward person, I don't like conspiracy and calculation, and I don't like to drag mud and water, that's why I said just now." But if you are so attentive, isn't it calculating? In fact, there is only one thing you are right. ”

"Women can't be trusted to speak, especially beautiful women."

She turned around and smiled slightly: "So I changed my mind and won't help you make a knife, even if he blames me." ”

"Unless ......"
