The rain was coming fiercely. As the saying goes, people don't keep customers, and days keep customers.

When Zhong Jiuchou was about to get up to say goodbye, the rain poured down, and after waiting for a pillar of incense, not only did the rain not decrease, but it became even worse.

Feng Rang, who was going to have dinner, asked Jiuchou to stay with him to dine with him, and then Lingzhi asked the dining room to add two meat dishes.

Sanqi scalded a pot of wine, and the master and apprentice sat at the table under the window, drinking and watching the rain, which was very pleasant.

After the meal, Feng Rang's interest was undiminished, and Sanqi brought a chessboard to play against the final nine domains.

It can be said that Zhong Jiuchou is the smartest of Feng Rang's eight apprentices, and it is rare to be young and calm and have the insight of the city government, which really makes him like it.

The master and apprentice played five games of chess in succession, and Zhong Jiuchou deliberately let Feng Rang lose three games without showing a trace, and Feng Rang happily took out a collector's edition of "Medicine King Medical Scripture" from the box and stuffed it into Zhong Jiuchou's hand.

"Memorize it well, and ask what you don't understand as a teacher. In the big exam at the end of the year, although you don't have to compete with your disciples, you still have to pass your senior sister's level. ”

In the end, Jiuchou suddenly felt that his head was big.

He doesn't have much interest in studying medicine, but he knows a little bit about harming people.

However, seeing that this "Medicine King Medical Sutra" looks old-fashioned and extravagant, it is estimated that it is several grades better than Ran Shaotang's, so he pretended to be respectful and put it in his arms.

He actually wanted to tell the master that before he entered the sect, he thought clearly, and it was okay to study medicine, but the living did not heal.

I'm afraid that if he says this, the master will be so angry that he will spit out a mouthful of old blood.

I had to put up with what I thought.

Remembering that he caused Ran Shaotang to go into the water during the day, as if he had offended her, he still decided to give her a night of emotional buffer time to kill her temper. In the end, the nine domains did not return to the Medicine King Palace.

Qin Xiaoyue waited until Ran Shaotang finished dinner, and did not wait for Zhong Jiuchou to come back, and tidied up the cups, plates and dishes on the table.

From time to time, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Ran Shaotang and Xie Yingtong standing by the window, Ran Shaotang praised Xie Yingtong's hand-rolled noodles and white chopped chicken for their excellent taste, and stretched out the window with one hand to stir up the rain.

The two had a good time, and neither of them mentioned the matter of not returning to the end of the nine domains.

At night, Xie Yingjian stayed in the guest room, thinking about learning to cook with Qin Maolin today, and received countless compliments from Shaotang and Uncle Qin, and he couldn't sleep excitedly.

In a daze, I heard a low and tactful voice from Shaotang's bedroom.

The song is like a swallow shuttling in the rain, high and low, sometimes clear and sometimes mournful, listening to his heart as if someone picked up and thrown down, I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

He speculated that Shaotang didn't sleep late at night, maybe he was missing his family.

The raindrops gradually weakened, turning from torrential to dense crimson.

Ran Shaotang estimated that Jiuchou would not come back to sleep in the end, and after blowing the Xunqu, he returned to the bed barefoot and got into the quilt.

The night in the mountains is cool, and there is lingering rain into the window.

Through the unextinguished candle flame under the porch, she glanced at the letterhead written on the table to her home, closed her eyes in satisfaction, and gradually fell asleep in the rustle of bamboo leaves in the rain.

The next day, she woke up early as usual, and the rain had not stopped.

Shaotang practiced a set of cloud-breaking swordsmanship in the rain in a secluded place in the back mountain, and meditated to revisit the internal strength and heart method, and after a few weeks, she waited until her body gradually warmed up, and then she collected her skills and went back to breakfast.

Xie Yingfeng saw her come back, served the chicken shredded snow cabbage porridge that had been made, and waited for her to taste and evaluate.

Shaotang drank a bowl and made an exception and added another bowl.

Xie Yingfeng happily put the remaining hot porridge into a clay urn and wanted to bring it back to the master to drink.

Shaotang and Cheng Yi made an appointment to set off, and when they saw that the time was about the same, they went back to the house and changed their clothes to go out, brought enough silver, poison and other belongings, as well as letters to send home, and summoned Qin Xiaoyue, who was cleaning the courtyard.

"After a while, you can go to the village and the peaks to see if the villagers and a few uncles want to buy shares. If so, let them come here tomorrow to sign the pledge agreement. ”

Qin Xiaoyue readily agreed, Shaotang thought for a while and said, "I see that near the waterfall at the back of the village, there is a vigorous green plum tree, which is almost ripe now. When you go to the village, pick some green plums and come back, wash them and dry them, brush a few wine urns and drain the water, and when I come back from Qianmen Town, I will make you green plum wine. ”

When Qin Xiaoyue heard that Shaotang was going to Qianmen Town, her mind became lively, and she begged: "Little boy, you also brought your servant to see the world." She hasn't even crossed the mountain yet. ”

Shaotang glanced at her, thought for a while, and said, "There is a chance." You do what I tell you to do first. ”

Seeing Ran Shaotang and Xie Yingyi turn to the trail down the mountain and disappear without a trace, Qin Xiaoyue withdrew her gaze listlessly and went to find a bamboo basket to pick green plums in the village.

At this hour, everyone in Zhenfeng had already eaten breakfast and started a busy day.

Cheng Yi lifted the lid of the urn, sniffed it closely, and pointed to the empty bowl on the table: "Pour a bowl for the teacher to taste." ”

It didn't matter if he tasted it, the remaining half of the clay urn of shredded chicken and cabbage porridge went into his stomach.

Ji Gang, who came in to tell the carriage that the horses had been prepared, saw the master holding his round belly and hiccuping, and thought, could it be that the breakfast he made was not to the master's appetite?

Is the porridge of the old thirteen so fragrant?

He glanced at Xie Yingjian again, who was smiling and exuding happiness all over his body, and always felt that since Ran Shaotang came to Jingshan, this little junior brother had become different from before.

Ji Gang sent Cheng Yi and the three of them down the mountain, and was about to sit in front of the carriage to catch the car, and went to Qianmen Town with them, but Cheng Yi stopped him.

"You stay in the sect and help me finish up all the things that I didn't finish a few days ago. One of the clothes that your seventh uncle asked me to help him sell has not been sold, so you have to send him the robe and the broken silver that you sold. The townspeople disliked his robe for being too fancy. I don't know what he thinks, what peony flowers are embroidered on the man's robe. ”

"Oh, let's go to Lingyun Hall again to see if your master has anything else to order, bring the hare I caught yesterday, and let the chef stew it for him, replenish his body, and tell him to stew it rotten. Go, go, go. ”

Ji Gang lowered his head and said yes, and when Xie Shisan drove away in the carriage, he sighed and went to the Xingchen Pavilion study.

The light rain stopped and fell, and although it was muddy, the road was smooth.

When he was about to arrive at Qianmen Town, Shaotang found that the closer he got to the town, the drier the road became, and the heavy rain last night did not moisten it at all.

The ghost side is truly a magical land.

If it weren't for all kinds of rumors about ghosts and gods, it is estimated that the pure land of ghosts would become a place of high and circumstantial plunder.

"Uncle Shi, where is the store you are talking about?" Shaotang lowered the curtain and asked Cheng Yi, who was sleepy in the car.

Cheng Yi was interrupted by Shaotang when he was half asleep, he looked impatient, yawned and stretched, and then said: "It is across the street from the medical hall, close to the teahouse." ”

Shaotang traced the approximate location in his mind and nodded.

Xie Yingfeng drove the carriage, thinking about the ingredients and seasonings that he was going to buy back today, and there were words in his mouth, the carriage was about to turn a corner, and suddenly another carriage jumped out of the slanted thorn, and the speed was amazing, and it crashed into their carriage when he saw it.
