Next Chapter

The Great Song Empire ushered in its thousandth and first summer, as if this year's summer tide came quite early, the young women and girls who were pregnant with spring wore light clothes early, and walked on the road more and more enchanting, all beautiful and moving, but if it is about the entire Great Song Dynasty where the girl is the most beautiful, where the lady is the most charming, I am afraid that 9,999 out of 10,000 people will say that it is Yudu.

Known as the beauty of Yudu in the world, Yudu has many mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, strange mountains and different waters, unique in the world.

Yu has a mountain called out of the fairy mountain, according to legend, there were immortals driving cranes to go, there was a natural vision of the purple cloud rushing accident and named out of the fairy mountain, many people came here just to see the immortal has gone to the style.

No, there is a group of people walking on a very remote stone road on the Immortal Mountain, a group of four people, three men and one woman, all dressed in green clothes, waist ring jade brocade, pinned with a long sword, hard footsteps, at a glance is a person who practices martial arts, I am afraid that which sect family sent out to experience the disciples of the red dust.

One of the three men said helplessly:

"We have been in the Yudu realm for half a day, but we have been exposed to the sun in vain on this road that can't go to the end, we don't care about ourselves. The key is that the little junior sister is so beautiful, what should I do if she is white and tender and tanned, and when I go back, if the master in charge sees it, why don't we have to suffer in vain. ”

The man looked at the woman walking in the middle, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The woman who was called the little junior sister was about eighteen or nineteen, her skin was delicate and white, although she was not very beautiful, but she was pitiful, and she couldn't hide Xiao He's wonderful figure with sharp corners in a green dress, and her eyes were even clearer, listening to the man's complaints, how could she not know that she was making fun of herself, and the corners of her mouth pouted and said:

"Senior Brother Zhuo, don't make fun of me, when we are done and my father whips you, I will definitely say a few kind words for you, so that you will receive a few fewer whips. ”

That Senior Brother Zhuo smiled when he heard this, and did not argue with him, and the senior brothers next to him also looked at each other and smiled.

After listening to the little junior sister's silver bell-like laughter, they didn't care much anymore about the sun above their heads.

After walking for another hour, one of the senior brothers at the front suddenly shouted in surprise:

"There is an inn in front. ”

Several people were all happy, and they looked around, and sure enough, there was a small inn.

In front of the inn, there is a Teng tree full of leaves, and there are several tables, chairs and benches under the tree, and a few men who have just finished their work are resting there, drinking wine, and chatting about the big and small interesting things that have happened in the township recently, which is quite pleasant.

The little junior sister and the four of them looked very yearning, walked quickly, and a few people found a quiet chair to sit down, and before they could speak, a capable little two came to four bowls of tea and said:

"A few people are also here to taste the legacy of the immortals, and it can be regarded as a good place, this fairy mountain is ten miles away, it is not an inn for fishing in troubled waters, and it is our family. ”

A few people quenched their thirst with herbal tea, and after listening to the words of the shopkeeper, they all thought it was interesting, what is an inn for fishing in troubled waters!

The little junior sister said quickly:

"You little guy can just do your own business honestly, why do you speak ill of other people. ”

Before the child could speak, a dark-looking man next to him said:

"The little girl should not be wrong with him, what this little girl said is true, the inns in this neighborhood are indeed not as good as this one, and they all want to earn some unequal money by the light of the immortals who have gone there, and the food they cook is not as good as this family. The chefs at this house are not ordinary, and the casual meals are memorable. ”

The righteous words that the man said, spitting flying, several people were secretly surprised in their hearts when they heard it, and they all wanted to taste the taste of the food here, Senior Brother Zhuo said to Xiao Er:

"Hearing you say that, we also want to taste the food here, and whatever is a signature is served. ”

The little junior sister and the other two looked at each other and smiled, it was rare for Senior Brother Zhuo to have a blood.

Xiao Er's main road sounded good, and he walked towards the inner room, and the senior brothers and sisters drank tea again and again to relieve their irritability while waiting for the meal, and a senior brother surnamed Li stared at the inner room for a long time and said:

"It is said that the beauty of Yudu Mountain is more beautiful, and a bachelor and ugly man without a wife can also find an enviable handsome daughter-in-law here, which is really true! You can see that the face in the inner room is extremely good. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked at the little junior sister with an embarrassed face, how could he have expected that in addition to himself, the other three were also shocked by the woman's appearance.

There is such a proud face in this world! Rao is little sister also feels ashamed.

The woman in the room seemed to realize the gaze of others looking at her, and showed a faint displeasure, and walked deeper into the room.

There was a young man in the kitchen of the inn, chopping fish heads and preparing ingredients, his expression was extremely serious, he looked at the figure walking outside the door, and said:

"You don't care about your accounts, why do you come to my smoky kitchen, and you're not afraid of choking!"

There was a figure outside the door that gradually became clear, it was the woman who was settling accounts in the inner room, this woman was born extremely beautiful, and any facial features could not be said to be exquisite, but they were perfectly matched.

Although the woman's expression is cold, she looks unique, and the iceberg's face is also very charming.

The woman said to the figure in the kitchen:

"I just don't like people paying too much attention. ”

As she spoke, the woman changed her previous demeanor of not being allowed to enter, and her slightly pursed lips flashed with a delicate look that shook people's hearts.

In the kitchen, an emaciated figure is busy, a pair of farmer's unique hands with a kitchen knife skillfully scrape off the scales of a fat grass carp, heat oil, sprinkle a little ginger and shallots, the oil gradually boils, and the fish is in the pot.

Suddenly, the fragrance mixed with the sound of frying came out, which made the hungry brothers and sisters suddenly rise a little, and the man held the pot in one hand and the spoon in the other, and said to himself:

"We've been here for a few years, why do you still look cold. I also talked to other people a lot, and the swordsman yesterday only said a few ....... ”

There was no word for a while.

The woman leaned against the door of the kitchen, quietly watching the tired man, letting the smoke float over her delicate nose, I don't know if it was too pungent or something else, her eyes flashed with moisture and quickly disappeared.

The man continued:

"After all, we're not as good as we used to be. ”

Coughing, the man added:

"I won't let anyone bully you for a day I'm alive, but you can't always look unhappy like that, and I'll be unhappy too. From that day on, your name is Li Xin, my name is Li Xuan, I am your brother, you are my sister, the more ordinary we are, the longer we can live, after all...... That person's surname is Zhao. ”

"You're not my brother. ”

The woman's voice came out suddenly:

"You are just an abandoned child kindly adopted by my family more than ten years ago, you can only do the lowest work since you were a child, you are a poor subordinate, why should you be my brother. ”

The woman's words were harsh, and her slightly raised chin seemed to remind the man of the iron-like hierarchical differences that had existed since they were born.

Even though the man never turned around.

The man's side face became significantly sharper, like a cold sword quietly unsheathed, and green tendons appeared on his neck, and he tried hard to lower his voice:

"I will not forget, I will never forget, the lord saved me, and I worked hard to pay off the debt, and when I rushed to save you desperately, the debt between us was already paid. Have you ever been wronged by me in the past few years?"

Finally made all the meals, the man didn't call Xiao Er, he walked out of the kitchen with the last dish, glanced at the woman who no longer spoke, and served.

The woman's pretty face wrinkled again, and her eyelids suddenly couldn't hold back tears.

............

"Serve. ”

The man spoke in a more professional tone than his own junior, and brought a plate of red braised pig's trotters to the four people who were eating, and asked familiarly:

"How do you feel about the taste?"

Sometimes depending on a person's grade, eating appearance is always the easiest and most objective criterion for judging, even if the four brothers and sisters are hungry, they will look elegant and calm when eating.

Hearing Li Xuan's inquiry, the little junior sister took the lead and said:

"It's so delicious, I didn't expect that we could make such a big discovery just after we entered Yudu, which you did?"

Several people were surprised to receive an affirmative answer, they did not expect that the person who made such a delicacy was so young!

"I didn't expect you to have such a skill at such a young age, even if this kind of craft is in charge of the best restaurant in the capital, I don't know why Your Excellency would succumb to this?" asked Senior Brother Zhuo, with some tentative words in his words.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, looked at the Immortal Mountain that pointed directly to the sky, and stopped talking.

After all, many people have dreams, and as for whether they will come true, that's a matter of saying.

"But before, I found an immortal, but he said that I couldn't practice. ”

Li Xuan's expression was a little painful. But he still endured the pain, and the smile like a spring breeze appeared on his beautiful face, which was very convincing.

The hot summer breeze filtered through the surrounding woods, with a kind of freshness after a long drought, and the tips of Li Xuan's hair moved lightly, swaying like an unknown story, making the little junior sister look a little stunned unconsciously.

Several senior brothers also sighed with emotion, called a pot of sake, and invited Li Xuan to taste it together, Li Xuan happily sat down, and the senior brother Chen finally couldn't bear to ask:

"That woman is so beautiful that she doesn't seem to be in the mortal world. ”

"That's a sister, a little withdrawn, not good at communicating with people. Li Xuan replied.

"I don't know how many people came from there, but I see a few people who don't look like ordinary people at all, and they must be cultivators who were born to experience the red dust. ”

"Even if you have insight, we have inherited Liudu Longhu Mountain, come to Yudu, and congratulate Taishi on entering the realm of heaven and man. ”

The little junior sister was quite appreciative of Li Xuan's change of topic, and decided to continue chatting about this topic, and Senior Brother Zhuo next to her coughed lightly. Li Xuan was shocked.

"But the master who killed nine strange beasts on his own?"

"Of course, it's not that he has the same face as anyone who can let us come here thousands of miles away to congratulate, just because an elder on our mountain who is good friends with Taishi asked him before retreat. I won't suffer this. "One

Senior Brother Chen also began to frown, a little big, Li Xuan observed his words, or decided not to talk anymore, just a few more hunters carrying prey, said goodbye to everyone, and entered the back room with a hello.

Li Xuan, who returned to the kitchen, his eyes became a little cold, and he began to chop vegetables with a kitchen knife as big as an axe, but his eyes were staring at the wall covered with black oil stains, and he was in a bad mood, after all, some people are doing well, and he is not doing well.

On the side, Li Xin silently picked vegetables. Do the light work she is already skilled in.

Time passed without hurry, and the senior brothers and sisters also felt that the itinerary became tense because of this meal, so they specially called out Li Xuan to say goodbye, and the little junior sister stared at Li Xuan with a pair of Danfeng eyes and said:

"You have to remember that my name is Han Xingxing, and then Liu Du came to Longhu Mountain to find me. ”

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, saying goodbye to everyone. Senior brother surnamed Chen also specially asked Li Xuan about Li Xin's name, and left a jade pendant for Li Xuan to hand over, Li Xuan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.

Looking at the sound and shadow of a few people walking away, he carefully observed the jade pendant in his hand again, and put it into the drawer where Li Xin stored the account book at will.

Knowing that the sunset was approaching and no more passers-by would pass by, he told the child to clean up the tables and chairs. called Li Xin for dinner, and watched her feel better, so she chatted with some parents who didn't, and suddenly said:

"It's almost time. ”

The chopsticks in Li Xin's hand stopped in mid-air and said:

"Is it okay not to go?"

"You know that is my only chance, even if I have good kung fu, I am a mortal after all, still living at the bottom of this world, and those who don't know will never have the opportunity to know. ”

Li Xin was obviously a little impatient, and raised his tone and said, "We all know that it will die." ”

Li Xuan smiled indifferently:

"If it's really that simple, then everyone can practice, let alone never do anything that simple, such as living. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"Just wait for me for a month, if I don't come back in a month, you will sell this inn, plus the previous savings are enough for you to live a life that is not too nervous, if you meet someone who can be seen, don't miss it, there are not many people as beautiful as you, and the little uncle who wants to come in the future will not hurt you less." ”

"Enough. ”

Li Xin was a little angry, his brows were tightened, and he took care of the vegetables by himself, then put them in Li Xuan's bowl and put a mouthful of white rice in his mouth.

The topic couldn't go on.

After the two finished eating, Li Xuan looked at the shopkeeper who was still busy outside the house, and raised his voice:

"I'll come to eat when I'm done, and I'll leave you half a chicken. ”

"Okay, shopkeeper, it'll be fine soon, you don't have to worry about being busy. ”

Xiao Er wiped the sweat from his forehead with his somewhat shabby cuffs, revealing a simple smile.

Li Xuan looked at the sun that was about to set, picked up a simple knife that was placed diagonally on the dilapidated threshold of the backyard, and walked out of the back door with the last ray of light.
