The water accumulates in the spring pond late, and the yin is multiplied in summer.

The cool breeze is shining, quietly blowing, and the willow leaves and branches are scrambling to dance their bodies. The pond has horns that are beginning to dew, poplars are flying in the air, and the dew on the lotus leaves has just left.

The ripples on the edge of the pool fanned out from the corner, and there was a twenty-eight-year-old woman squatting on the shore, with an earthy yellow skirt resting on the ground, and the skirt was woven with a plum blossom pattern, accompanied by a little enlarged watermark, which made people mistakenly think that it was a little swaggy.

She lowered her head and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and continued to tap the clothes on the stone slab. The mallet, which was thicker than her arm, made a rhythmic sound to meet the force.

"Snort..."

A cold wind blew, and a white figure stepped on the leaves. The lotus leaf moved slightly, and then quietly listened to the sound of the mallet, without any damage.

The white shadow fell, stopping not far above the woman. His eyebrows are thick like a sword, the bridge of his nose is high, and his eyes under his long eyelashes are particularly deep. Holding a three-foot fine iron sword, it is somewhat asymmetrical with the white gauze hat on his head and a white robe with silk robes and various patterns and embroidered edges.

"Hey, little girl, did you see anything flying over just now?" The white shadow asked the woman who was still beating her clothes.

The woman was startled, and when she looked up and got up, she should have squatted on her legs and was not standing firmly, and she was about to fall into the pool when she leaned over.

"Be careful!"

Seeing this, Bai Ying threw down the small sword and scabbard in his hand in a panic, and strode to pull. However, he didn't stretch out to the right place, and went straight to the women's twin peaks, and changed the route to grab his shoulders in a hurry.

The woman's legs were numb and she couldn't stand firmly, and her upper feet moved back a step before she could barely hold on. Suddenly, the man on the shore grabbed his chest with a large hand, and he was startled. He took the wooden mallet in his hand and threw it over, and leaned away to avoid it.

Bai Ying was dumbfounded, grabbing his shoulders and catching the air, and he had to dodge the thrown mallet, but he couldn't stop his feet. "Poof" and fell into the water.

"Hahahaha..."The woman covered her mouth and laughed: "Prodigal, I want you to make it bad!" ”

"Bastard, this son saves you, you little girl doesn't eat well, not only attacked me but also ruined my reputation." The white shadow fluttered a few times in the water, and then walked ashore aggrievedly.

The woman frowned, took two steps back, and shouted, "Who do you call the little girl, I'm sixteen this year." You don't look big, you don't have a beard, and you're eighteen years old at most. ”

After Bai Ying came ashore, he carefully looked at the woman in front of him, with red lips and white teeth, especially the big eyes under the willow eyebrows, which were very aura. So, he hugged his fists and said, "On the eve of the fire, I don't know the girl's name?" ”

"Hmph, you prodigal, you want to know my name for revenge, don't you? I'm not going to tell you. After speaking, he patted Luo's skirt, picked up the mallet, and said, "You get out of the way, I want to wash clothes." I can tell you, I'm a member of the Red Sleeves Troupe, and if you bully me, I'll scream, and you won't be able to run. ”

Huo Yuxi was not angry, got out of the way, picked up the small sword, inserted it into the scabbard, and pinned it to the belt. Then he stood aside, pinched a handprint, and the white gas on his body rose and dispersed with the wind.

He looked at the woman's squatting back, the pile of clothes already in hand, the corners of his mouth raised, and watched quietly.

The woman felt uncomfortable, turned her head to look, stood up and stomped her feet and shouted: "Hooligans, in broad daylight, staring at my ass without blinking." Look at you, you should also be the son of a big family, how kind of well-dressed beast skin and flesh. ”

Huo Yuxi was so angry that she almost spurted a mouthful of blood, this woman scolded too much, she must not be able to say it. After thinking about it, he said: "Listen to the accent, you are not a native of Chang'an City, haven't you heard of our Huo family?" Just now I chased a monster, and I chased it to this place without a trace, thinking it was attached to something. ”

"Fire family? Fire Family? The girl seemed to think of something, and hurriedly made a woman's salute, changed her style just now and said: "Little woman Yang Zhangyue, I was offended just now, and I ask Huo Gongzi to forgive me!" ”

"Is your surname Yang?" Huo Yuxi thought to herself: "It can't be a descendant of the previous dynasty." ”

"Childe! Fire Boy? Yang Zhangyue saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he was angry, and he was a little overwhelmed, worried that if the master knew that he had offended the people of the Huo family, he would have to eat the board.

"It's okay, please Miss Yang come over for a while, I have something to say to you." Huo Yuxi suddenly found that the movement on the clothes by the pool was gone, not running away, but completely attached to the object.

Yang Zhangyue was a little hesitant and slowly approached, and the moment Huo Yuxi lowered her head and attached it to her ear, she was covered in goosebumps, her hairs stood up, and her cheeks were red.

"Miss Yang, that monster is here, it's inconvenient for me to leave, so I'll ask you to find a fire, incense, wax, and a thick peachwood. Remember, don't tell others, if there are too many people, they will scare away, and it will hurt people everywhere. ”

"Fire boy, how thick is the peach wood?"

Huo Yuxi pointed to the mallet in her hand and said, "Just like it." ”

…… ……

The Red Sleeves Troupe is a troupe that runs around the world, and wherever it goes, it usually builds a shed to rest.

In a particularly large shed, there are three people talking, among whom is a dignified-looking middle-aged woman, dressed in grand costumes, and a pair of large buns are about to come out.

The other two were two old men, and one of them whispered, "Princess, we..."

"Ahem..."The middle-aged woman looked displeased when she heard this, and said, "Old Zhou, how many times have you said it, just call me the class master." The Tang family is still chasing us, and we have to be careful with any words and deeds, let alone outside this Chang'an City. ”

"Gong, class master, the old slave knows that he is wrong! Where do we go next? "Mr. Zhou is very respectful.

The middle-aged woman pondered for a while and said: "During that time in the city, there were many secret agents who had been following them, thinking that there were some suspicions, so we went a little farther this time and went east to Jiangxia in Ezhou." ”

"Master, master..." At this time, Yang Zhangyue panted and ran in.

"What kind of system is it to shout so much!" The middle-aged woman shouted.

After Yang Zhangyue heard this, he stood aside with some fear and said, "Master, I met a person named Huo Yuxi from the Huo family while washing clothes by the pool. He said he was slaying demons and asked me to fetch something for him. ”

"What!" The middle-aged woman got up and exclaimed, "Are you sure his name is Huo Yuxi?" ”

"Yes, yes." This exclamation made Yang Zhangyue unconfident, afraid that he had heard it wrong, and said, "That's what he said." ”

The old man opposite Zhou Lao said: "Xin'er, don't be too embarrassed for Yue'er, she is still young." ”

"Uncle, when my mother was forced to marry the Turks, she served four khans successively, but they stood by when the royal family was in trouble, and now I have a lot of courage, and Yue'er is a daughter again. If it goes on like this, what face will I Yang Xin have to meet the ancestors and ancestors. Yang Xin said and burst into tears.

"Xin'er, isn't this opportunity coming? Back then, you avoided the pot and went to the Turks, and met Li Shimin's subordinate Xue Rengui, but fortunately he was rescued by the Huo family. Now that Yuan Tiangang is old, Li Chunfeng is not favored by the second child of the Li family, the Huo family is at the head, with their help, there may be a glimmer of life. ”

"But... But I went to the Huo family several times, but they avoided it, but they didn't want to wade into this troubled water, after all, the Huo family didn't enjoy much honor in my dynasty at that time. Yang Xin looked at Yang Zhangyue after speaking.

Her uncle said, "Give it a try, since ancient times heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass." It is rumored that Huo Yuxi is a single lineage of the Huo family, so it will be no problem to pull him over. ”

"Did you hear that?" Yang Xin suddenly shouted, startling Yang Zhangyue.

"Listen, hear!" Yang Zhangyue nodded resignedly, thinking: Is this for me to dedicate myself? What if he doesn't? That's a shame!

"Then let's go help that kid together!" Zhou Lao got up.

"No, no, Grandpa Zhou, Huo Yuxi said, too many people will scare the monster away, just let me take some things."

"Then you don't want to go quickly." Yang Xin shouted again: "I've been staying for so long, Huo Yuxi is probably in a hurry." Remember, bring him back after the demon slay. ”

"Okay, okay, Master, I'll go!" Yang Zhangyue quickly walked out of the greenhouse.

"Xin'er, Yue'er is your daughter after all, you are too much, how can you let her do all the chores in the theater troupe? Her daughter's body was not of her own volition. ”

Yang Xin shook his head and said, "Uncle, Yue'er, this child is just like her father, indecisive and too emotional. deliberately let her suffer a little and suffer a little bit is to make her more angry. However, this kid's anger didn't grow a point, but he could play with anyone. ”

When Yang Zhangyue ran to the pool with something, Huo Yuxi was lying on the ground and teasing ants with small branches.

"Fire boy, your thing!" Thinking of Master's words, Yang Zhangyue's heart was empty, and he didn't dare to look at Huo Feixi.

Huo Yuxi got up and clapped her hands, and said, "You are really slow, the ants have moved to Chang'an City, and you are here." After seeing Yang Zhangyue's expression, he carefully checked the things again and said, "You don't do anything with things, why do you look sneaky." ”

"You're sneaky, your whole family is sneaky!" Thinking of the master's explanation, Yang Zhangyue, who was red-faced, said softly: "How can you do your hands and feet, you ran too fast, and there was sand in your eyes." ”

There is nothing to do with these things, Huo Yuxi just said casually.

A handful of incense sticks were planted on the ground separately around the clothes, and then a long branch was found across the water by the pool, and the white candle was lit and stood on the branch. After doing all this, Huo Yuxi said, "Miss Yang, you can go and beat your clothes now, just use that peach wood to beat it." ”

"Oh!" Yang Zhangyue watched quietly for a while, and after hearing the words, he obediently walked into the incense circle with a peach stick.

"Aren't you afraid?" Huo Yuxi was curious.

"Afraid of what? Which opera garden has never been haunted, and it is common to see ghosts. People are humane, ghosts have ghost ways, if I don't mess with it, why should it mess with me. ”

Huo Yuxi smiled, if these words came out of the mouth of a monk or Taoist priest, it would be nothing, but when it came out of the mouth of a little girl, the taste would be very different.

She looked up and smiled again: "Aren't you still there!" ”

This smile, Huo Yuxi freezes, it's so beautiful!
