like old friends

The story takes place in Chang'an.

Wuji Pavilion is the largest pavilion in the rivers and lakes.

Three years ago, the old pavilion lord abdicated, and his son Nangong Ember became the new pavilion master.

Since then, the former old pavilion owner has begun a leisurely life in the rivers and lakes.

Swim in the mountains and flowing waters, fish on the banks of the Qingxi River, and blow the flute in the secluded bamboo forest.

What a happy life!

In his spare time, he also accepted two apprentices, a man and a woman.

The male apprentice is named Guizhou, and the female apprentice is named Xiaoxiao.

The three of them accompanied each other all the way, stepping on the mountains and rivers of the world, and after a few years, the former old pavilion master still took his two apprentices and returned to his hometown Chang'an.

Why?

His son Nangong Ember married Miss Luo San two years ago, and now his daughter-in-law has given birth to a big fat boy, and he is coming back to hug his grandson!

Looking at a domineering and scribbled letter on the table, Gui Zhou finished reading it in his heart, he let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"So, our master just left us without saying a word and went back to Wuji Pavilion to take his grandson?"

Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside him, frowned, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and couldn't breathe.

"It's not exactly silent." Guizhou looked at her and tried to pull out a smile, trying to comfort her, "He remembered to leave a letter this time. ”

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes widely, and sat on the stool next to her with the long sword in her hand.

There are thousands of masters in the world, and if you want to choose a living treasure among them, her master will be on the list.

"I want to open it." Guizhou stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, looking down at him, "When the master goes back, he won't let us keep it anymore, and we can still buy more delicious food, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, she looked up at Guizhou, and nodded affirmatively.

"You have a point."

………

March camel clouds, early spring recovery, full of the world.

Before the flower, under the moon, the willow was folded to try the sword, smelling the long bamboo fragrance, and the laughter startled a little firefly.

"Return to the boat!"

He turned to look at her, her cheeks illuminated by the glow of her hair, her sword in hand, smiling wildly.

"I recently created a set of swordsmanship, and today it has finally been completed, come and take a look!"

The moonlight was like a wash, and the soft moonlight sprinkled on the earth, falling on her sword dancing body, as if coated with a layer of silver light.

Guizhou saw it in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly.

The long sword was withdrawn, Xiaoxiao wiped a handful of sweat from her forehead, she turned her head to look at him, raised her head, and pursed her lips with a smug smile.

"How? Can you break it with your Fang Tian Halberd? ”

"What's so hard about that?" Guizhou smiled, and his eyes seemed to be filled with fireflies, "I'll show you tomorrow." ”

On the second day, Guizhou really broke her swordsmanship.

Although she was very reluctant to accept such a fact, Xiaoxiao had to admit that Guizhou was a real martial arts genius.

She thinks that her set of swordsmanship is of the highest quality, and it will take at least ten days, half a month, or even a few months to break it if anyone puts it there.

But it took only one night to take it down.

As their master said, she is a genius in martial arts, and Guizhou is a genius among geniuses.

She pursed her lips, not angry, but at least a little discouraged.

The man next to her sensed her depressed mood.

He touched Xiaoxiao's head with a high ponytail, and said with a smile:

"Take you to buy rock sugar gourds? Your favorite food on weekdays. ”

………

"Have you heard? The Songshan Meng family has had an accident recently! ”

"But that martial arts family?"

"Yes, yes, I heard that Old Man Meng is seriously ill, and the side of the Meng family is now fighting for status and property! In short, the Meng family is in chaos now! ”

"Eh, isn't there still a young master in the Meng family?"

"Hey, yes, Mr. Meng is also pitiful, the first two children all died, this third child, and the relationship with the family is not good, it seems that he ran away from home a few years ago, and I haven't heard much about this young master in the past few years."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In the restaurant, the chatter of the people at the table came to their ears, because they have been practicing martial arts all year round, and their hearing is very good.

Xiaoxiao listened to the excitement and smacked her lips.

"If you want me to say, this young master should really go back and have a look." Xiaoxiao said to the person in front of her, and lowered her head to take a few more mouthfuls of rice, "What do you think?" ”

She didn't hear Guizhou's response for a long time, she looked at the other side suspiciously, and found that Guizhou's eyes were locked on the table, and the hand holding the chopsticks was also parked next to the rice bowl.

"Hey! Homecoming! She put down her rice bowl, reached forward, and snapped her fingers in front of the man.

Guizhou was startled, and finally came back to his senses, he looked at Xiaoxiao: "What's wrong?" ”

"I said-then the young master of the Meng family should go back." She couldn't help but roll her eyes and repeated what she had just said in a shuffling tone.

After thinking about it, she tilted her head, lowered her eyes, and then raised her eyes to look at Guizhou.

"No, I said you're okay, right? It feels like you're out of shape just now, like you've lost your soul. She put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Guizhou with some worry in her eyes, "Remember to tell me something, don't carry it alone." ”

Guizhou smiled, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the belly of a fish, and put it in Xiaoxiao's bowl.

"What can I do? What else is there that you don't know? ”

Xiaoxiao touched her chin and thought about it, well, the two of them do have nothing to talk about, and they are together all day long, and they should know what happened to each other.

Nodding reassuringly, she picked up her rice bowl and continued to eat.

"Do you also think that the young master of the Meng family should go back?" Guizhou suddenly came again.

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, she still thought that the topic of the Meng family was over.

"yes, yes." She replied.

"Why? Perhaps the relationship between the young master and his father was hopelessly bad, and he had no interest in family property. ”

Xiaoxiao shook her head, she didn't quite agree with Guizhou's words.

"Not to mention whether it is to treat those collateral systems, this old man Meng is now seriously ill, maybe one day he will burp when he says that he will burp, after all, it is a father and son, even if it is a bad relationship, he should go back and see.

And there is no deep hatred between father and son that cannot be resolved, and the father should cherish it. ”

After listening, Guizhou was thoughtful, and after a while, he looked at Xiaoxiao in front of him: "You're right." His brow was relieved, "It's time to go back." ”

Xiaoxiao looked at him with a suspicious face, and she always felt something strange: "You are very interested in this matter?" ”

"It's about yourself, and you still have to pay more attention to it."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What about yourself? Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and widened, if it weren't for the crowd, she would have almost jumped up from the stool, she tried hard to lower her voice, "Meng Guizhou, surnamed Meng ...... You won't be ......! ”

She is a nervous person, and he has not taken the initiative to mention Guizhou's life experience, and she has never asked.

Thinking about it now, it makes sense, if it weren't for generations of martial arts families, how could there be such a good martial arts talent.

"I'll go back to Songshan tomorrow." He looked at Xiaoxiao, "Are you going with me?" ”

"I......" Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her voice getting softer and softer, "I...... Let's not go. ”

She looked up at him, and there seemed to be a thousand words in her eyes, disturbing a pool of ink, but at last it was calm, like a black pearl just out of water, and her eyes shone with a charming light.

"I'm in Chang'an, waiting for you to come back."

………

The monsoon winter wind and snow, the sky is full of snow, sprinkled and sprinkled, falling down in Chang'an.

The incense of the stove in the room is slightly warm, and the old wine is not dry.

Fold a plum, insert it into a bottle, and put it on the long table by the window, a few petals withered, floating on the ink-stained paper on the table, so that the letter that has not yet been sent is dyed with a faint fragrance.

Seeing the flowers like faces, wait for your return as soon as possible.

………

The flowers bloom and fall, the time does not stop, the maple leaves are red, and it is another year.

I heard that the old man Meng of Songshan died of illness, and Meng Guizhou, the young master of the Meng family, is now the head of the Meng family, and has taken care of the miscellaneous affairs left by the Meng family.

"What are you doing in front of you?"

"I don't know? Xiao Woman is recruiting relatives in a martial arts competition! ”

"Chang'an Xiaobawang, someone dares to marry this?!"

"Hey, quite a few! People have to look good! ”

"Can anyone beat her?"

"Not yet, she has come up with a very peculiar set of swordsmanship, and no one has broken it yet......" Before the man finished speaking, he stared at the competition platform, his face full of shock.

Fang Tian's halberd appeared, and under the staggering with the long sword, it shone with a dazzling light.

"I'm going to ......," sighed all around.

"Who's that man?"

"Won the Lady in less than ten moves?!"

"It's too easy......"

"Is he too powerful, or is Xiao Woman letting go of the water?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

On the stageβ€”β€”

Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at the person in front of her, who was still familiar to her, but there seemed to be more calmness between her eyebrows.

It seems to have become more handsome.

"Hey, it's too much, so many people, let me have a little more tricks in your hands." She laughed and quipped.

"Excessive?" The corners of Guizhou's eyes were full of smiles, "You are all here to compete in martial arts, which of the two of us is more excessive?" ”

"It's not because you lied to me, can't you come back......" Xiaoxiao muttered dissatisfied.

The corners of Guizhou's mouth couldn't help twitching, he made such a joke in the letter last time, but he didn't expect Xiaoxiao to hold a grudge so much.

Fortunately, he is back today.

He looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile, put away Fang Tian's halberd, and said loudly, "I won!" Xiao Woman's competition to recruit relatives, can you still count? ”

Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then she came to her senses, she smiled like a peach blossom, and the smile in her eyes went straight to the bottom of her heart.

"Of course!" She put down her long sword and walked towards the person in front of her, "This woman has always been a man of words. ”

………

Haiyue Nuze, autumn to send cinnamon, dew between the leaves.

The old pavilion master in front of Wuji Pavilion was playing with his grandson, he sat in the courtyard in front of the pavilion, looked down at the letter in his hand, and smiled on his already wrinkled face.

He folded the letter and put it in his sleeve, and looked up at his grandson holding the small wooden sword he had made, waving it happily, and the smile on his face became even bigger.

It seems that it won't be long before his two apprentices will be able to add another grandson to him.
