Chapter 27: Descending the Mountain
This year's summer flowers bloom very punctually, this is not the beginning of summer, the whole mountain seems to change into bright clothes, in the year, the mountain is the most colorful at this time, please the heart of Jiuyao.
Time runs fast, it seems that she is afraid of being chased by others, but she meets Jiuyao's unhurried temperament, and she is also very helpless, but Miss Huan Jiuyao, who is ten years old, is still small and exquisite, but it is really her own fault, and she can't complain about others, even Old Man Xiao said that she eats more than pigs all day long, and grows slower than turtles, which is really a pity!
But the only thing to be thankful for is that maybe it is because she doesn't get a little bit of fireworks in the world all year round, and she is surrounded by smoke and clouds on the mountains all day long, she is very elegant, picturesque, and looks like a dusty appearance, and maybe because she can be regarded as half of the royal children, but it is very contradictory as if it is natural with three points of luxury, three points of spirit, if it is dignified, it is really majestic, even Chu Yun's heart has to boast (?) She had this good skin in white, but her bones were black and full of bad water.
She only wore a moon-white soft smoke gauze skirt today, and a clear white hosta easily held the black and pretty green silk on her head, but it showed her all-round bearing, elegant and dusty. It's just that at this time, her behavior of destroying flowers with such hot hands really doesn't match her appearance, so she was so anxious that Chu Ya followed her and kept calling: "I said Miss, you should be considerate and considerate of me!" If you sneak down the mountain again and haven't found the evening primrose that Xiao's predecessors made the antidote, then I will be punished with you again today! ”
"Cut, you girl, as Miss Ben's loyal partner, can't you still accompany me through thick and thin?! I said it, I can only go back to the mountain for two or three months in the middle of the year, no, I haven't come back for so long, why don't you let me go back to taste the wine made by the old man Fang! Jiuyao said as she walked quickly, for fear that this rugged and bumpy mountain road would not be able to break her feet, and she still had a proud little look on her face, but she was suffering from Chu Ya who was following behind.
"Oh, let's just say you can't! I usually ask you to practice with me more, but it's good for you, you eat this and that in the kitchen all day long, fortunately you're not too fat, otherwise I don't want you to walk up the mountain in the future and have to hold you! Jiu Yao looked back at Chu Ya, who was chasing after him, who was very difficult, and was very unkind and ridiculous, without any so-called friendship and morality, and even used light skills, and the soles of his feet were windy.
Speaking of this martial arts, after seven years, Jiuyao really found that Old Man Xiao really didn't say anything against his heart when he said that she was a good seedling who practiced martial arts, and he really saw her talent by accepting her as a disciple. Maybe she has the experience of practicing martial arts in her previous life to lay the foundation, since she practiced martial arts, Old Man Xiao has been secretly amazed by her talent, and it has been smooth sailing to the present, and even Old Man Xiao has not been able to test her catties in recent years.
It's just that she has never had the intention of showing her edge, even if she walks the rivers and lakes with her master, she has always used only lip service and light skills, and even medical skills and poison techniques are easily not seen. The old man Xiao didn't say anything, in fact, he knew what she was hiding in his heart, and he was willing to fulfill her wish, in the final analysis, he looked at the slim child who had grown from a young child to now, even if he was ...... He is also really protecting her now.
Besides, Chu Ya stopped her to no avail, so she directly broke the jar and followed her. This place is located in a remote area, it is not far from the junction of the southwest end of the Southern Qi Dynasty and Xirong, and then to the west is the endless mountains and rivers, and it is also a place where Xirong is rarely populated, it is not a rich and fertile place, but it is rare that the folk customs are also extraordinarily simple. This radius of a hundred miles can only find one or two small villages not far from the bottom of the mountain, the left and right add up to only a hundred or so households, few outsiders come on weekdays, and the mountain is a place that is difficult for ordinary people to enter, and now it has become the boundary of Old Man Xiao.
When she first went up the mountain, she was fine, and she didn't feel bored, but after she had almost visited all the places that could go over the mountain, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she wanted to sneak down the mountain to see the excitement, and she had a little friendship with the old man who opened a brewery in Yaojia Village under the mountain, and from time to time she had to come to get some wine to drink.
When he walked to the door of Old Man Fang's shop, Jiu Yao paused calmly, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, he was very happy, and then he looked back and saw that he was clearly sprinting all the way over, and at this time he already felt that his two feet were as heavy as a stone pillar, and he gloated very unkindly, in order to avenge his usual food: "Hahahaha, I'll just say, how can you be as light as me with your weight." Let you rob me of food on weekdays, and sure enough, it looks more and more like a piglet! ”
Chu Ya leaned over and panted regardless of her image, and looked up and down a few times at her still slender little arms and legs, and suddenly felt that this master was really unreliable, and he was used to tossing them, and he had no conscience.
Seeing that Chu Ya hadn't eased up, Jiu Yao turned his head very happily and walked in with the faint aroma of wine coming from the enemy: "Old man Fang, what good wine do you have here today, quickly take it out and let this girl taste it!" ”
"Heh, I said you stinky girl, it's really rude! Last time, I asked you to drink a fine drink from my 20-year-old spring brew, and you still dare to come?! Before Jiu Yao had taken a few steps, he heard a deep voice coming from inside, although it was unceremoniously, but he couldn't hear the slightest annoyance.
"Cut, Miss Ben wants to drink, why don't you have to worry about face! Quickly help me bring the jar wine, first of all, I won't drink wine less than ten years old! As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves very heroically and picked a table by the window and sat down without any image.
After a while, I saw an uncle who was forty or fifty years old with a beard and a coarse gray robe and a small jar of wine in one hand and sat down.
"I said Lao Fang, more than half a year has passed, and I haven't seen how good your business is, it's not that there are not many people coming all year round." Jiu Yao glanced at the jar of wine, very careless ridicule, this seemed to have been said many times, and then looked up at the man in front of him: "Well, your wine smells very good, but with your craftsmanship, it is estimated that any jar is not ordinary." But I'm strange, since there are not many people in this village who are good at wine, then why do you have to open this shop here, I don't seem to be opening this to sell wine? ”
Jiu Yao hit the first time he went down the mountain and found Lao Fang's shop, so as long as he was free, he would definitely come here to have a few drinks with him, it was also strange, it was obviously a shop that sold wine, but every time he came, Jiu Yao didn't see him have a guest, and as long as she came, he must be open. His winemaking skills are excellent, every time there is a new wine brewed into a fragrant ten miles, very intoxicating, although she has not drunk much of this wine before, but the first time she tasted it felt soft, mellow and a little sweet and sweet, very with her taste, since then he has not been less pleasing his wine to drink, but he does not seem to care very much about his business, all day long just busy making wine, and will also open a shop in such a remote place.
"You girl, what are you doing asking so much! Still drinking? Come, I'll pour it for you. We haven't seen each other for nearly a year, so we won't get drunk today! As he spoke, he lifted the seal, poured two bowls of wine full, and then took the bowl and drank it all, looking at Jiuyao and smiling......
