Chapter 42: Master
Songyu County is very small, with only one street.
However, the houses on both sides of the street have a lot of signs of repair, and there are even brand new houses, which is the result of the imperial court exempting the levy from forced labor and taxes after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the people no longer fled and returned to their hometowns.
Shen Xinan didn't know how to grind it, but he was stunned and asked him to take Xiyue to the market.
Liang Qi led seven or eight guards to follow, these guards are all experienced in a hundred battles, not to mention one enemy hundred, at least one enemy ten.
"Sister, look, there are water chestnuts for sale." Shen Xinan excitedly pointed to the hawker in front of him.
The hawker is an old woman over sixty years old, with a rickety body, goosebumps, and no longer looks old, but she still insists on going out to make money.
"Childe, girl, do you want to buy water chestnuts? It's delicious, sweet! The old woman smiled all over her face, and handed the water chestnuts she had peeled to Xiyue, for fear that she would dislike being dirty, and said deliberately: "Don't worry, girl, I have washed it all." ”
The peeled water chestnuts are as white as snow, full and moist, dust-free, and clean.
Xiyue naturally won't dislike it, not to mention that the Tan family often teaches her that the Shen family also came from the end of the world, don't forget your roots, no matter whether the person in front of her is a flat-headed ordinary person or a dignitary, she will treat everyone equally.
took the water chestnut and took a bite, it was really sweet, she couldn't help laughing, "Brother, this water chestnut is so sweet!" ”
"The girl is not a native of Changning Mansion, only outsiders will call water chestnuts water chestnuts." When the old woman heard her, she asked with a smile.
Xiyue didn't explain, she called water chestnuts water chestnuts, which was influenced by the Tan family.
"Grandma, we have bought all these water chestnuts, can you tell me where Yu Jing's house is?" Xi Yue said that, she took out two taels of silver from her small purse and handed it over.
When the old woman saw two taels of silver, her eyes flashed eagerly, two taels of silver were enough for their family to live for half a year!
I didn't care if Xiyue and her party were bad people, so she immediately pointed to the alley on the left and said, "Girl, the Yu Jing you said is a celebrity here, and she lives in the alley in front of her, and there is a peach tree in front of the door." ”
"Thank you, Grandma." Xiyue stuffed the silver into the old woman's hand, turned around and walked towards the alley on the left.
Yu Jing is Xiyue's master in her previous life, the master who taught her poison arts.
If it weren't for Yu Jing's help, she might not have been able to take revenge, but now that she is reborn, she naturally has to come early to rescue his old man from the dire situation.
After walking along the unfamiliar alley for about a quarter of an hour, the cries of the street gradually faded away, and the road at my feet became all muddy roads, and the roadside was overgrown with weeds and barren.
"Sister, what are you doing here? Watch out for the haunted house. Shen Xinan looked around and found that many houses had collapsed, the walls were inferior, and there were rags hanging on the walls, moving with the wind, and there were many ghosts, so he felt a chill in his back.
It was the spring ploughing season, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, and some of the peach blossoms had even withered, but the peach tree in front of Yu Jing's house was blooming brightly, and Xiyue could see it at a glance.
It's here!
It's finally here!
Master, I'm here, are you alright?
"There really is a peach tree...... Shen Xinan ran under the peach tree and looked around uneasily, he was worried that his sister would be frightened.
"Knock knock." Xiyue stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The small courtyard is not large, with wind leaking on all sides, and you can see the overgrown weeds in the courtyard from the outside of the door, which is desolate, and does not look like it is inhabited.
"Who! It's noisy until Lao Tzu sleeps, and I don't want to live anymore, right? A fierce voice came from inside the room, and then, with a 'quack', the door opened, and out of it came a strong, one-eyed man with a scimitar in his hand.
