Qu Xiaobai looked at his brother's expression, and couldn't help but ask a few more words: "This money is the money for buying wood, not for you, and the wages for you, when you deliver the furniture, I will naturally pay you." If you squander the money, or if you let your father take it away and let him squander it, even if I sue the yamen, I will let you pay me!" ”

Qu Xiaohei hurriedly lowered his head and bowed: "No, no, don't worry, I will not squander it, and I will not let my father squander it." ”

Qu Xiaobai sighed: "He has an open eye for money, if he sees so much silver, it is strange that he is not greedy." So let me give you a bunch of money, and you will say that I will pay you for the wages, and you give it to him, and let him buy something for the house, and as for the money, you must not let him see it. ”

Qu Xiaobai went back to the house, took out a string of money, and handed it over to Qu Xiaohei, she really didn't worry about this Mu Ne brother's ability to do things, and told him again: "Brother, you are not young anymore, you should also save some bride price money to marry a daughter-in-law and go home to live." So, you have to be a little more attentive and can't live like this all the time. ”

Qu Xiaohei's face was swollen and red, and he nodded shyly: "Hey." ”

Qu Xiaobai thought that Yang Ling was still waiting for her to eat, and said: "Cheng, you keep the drawings and silver, go back and start working, if there are not enough people, you can hire a few carpenters to work together, and I will pay the wages." Make it as soon as possible, and preferably finish it when my house is rebuilt. ”

Qu Xiaohei nodded and agreed.

"By the way, you can help me bring something to Zhao Yuan's sister-in-law's house."

Qu Xiaobai shouted Yang Hongxia, "Sister Hongxia, you and my brother will take the silk to Zhao Yuan's sister-in-law's house, and I will go over to teach you lace embroidery after eating in a while." ”

She originally planned to teach here, after all, this is also a secret and cannot be taught with great fanfare, but considering Yang Ling, she still plans to go to Zhao Yuan's tutor for a while.

Yang Hongxia looked at Qu Xiaohei, although she was a little embarrassed, she still nodded reluctantly.

Qu Xiaobai looked at her and said with a smile: "My brother is so honest, are you still afraid that she will eat you?" I'll go in and get you the fabric. ”

Qu Xiaobai returned to the house again, Yang Ling was already looking at her with resentful eyes, and she held back a smile: "I'll be right away, right away." Idiot. ”

She found a new furoshiki, wrapped seven or eight zhang of pure white silk, carried it outside, and put it on Qu Xiaohei's shoulder, "Hongxia, these fabrics are very expensive, you must be careful, don't break them." ”

"Little white sister-in-law, I know, don't worry."

"Alright, you guys go first."

Qu Xiaobai waved her hand, didn't send them off, turned around and went back to the house - she was afraid that if she didn't go back, Yang Ling would come out to arrest her.

Yang Hongxia lowered her head, glanced at Qu Xiaohei secretly, and whispered, "Let's go." As if frightened, she hurried ahead.

Qu Xiaohei was more shy than her, and waited for her to go out for a distance before he followed.

As soon as Qu Xiaobai entered the room, she pulled a big hand over, and then the door was squeaked shut, and she was slammed against the door panel, and her warm lips were covered.

…… Big brother, you ...... You're not so anxious, are you?

"Not right now. Get it too easily and you may not cherish it. ”

The low-soft magnetic voice sounded in his ears, and Qu Xiaobai was a little confused: "I...... Could it be that I ...... "Did the voice in my heart just now accidentally come out of my mouth?"

Yang Ling's expression was clearly saying: Yes, you said it.

Qu Xiaobai can't find a crack to drill, it's too embarrassing! "Wash your hands and eat!" She pushed Yang Ling away violently, ran to the water tank in shame, scooped water and washed.

Yang Ling chuckled, put the table away, filled the porridge and vegetables, and a few boiled eggs, during Qu Xiaobai's washing time, he peeled the boiled eggs and put them on the plate in front of her, Qu Xiaobai washed and sat down, he handed the chopsticks to her, "Eat." If you get up late, I'll make some and I'll make something for you at noon. ”

Qu Xiaobai took the chopsticks, "Forget it at noon, you and I will go to Zhao Yuan's sister-in-law's house to eat, it's too time-consuming to go back and forth." We'll come back in the evening and do it ourselves. ”

Yang Ling put a chopstick and green vegetables in her porridge bowl, and said lightly: "That's it." I'm still not going, I'm waiting for you in the evening with a cooked meal. ”

Qu Xiaobai intuitively felt that he was busy with something, but he didn't ask, only nodded and said, "Okay." Then after eating, I will go to Zhao Yuan's sister-in-law's house by myself. ”

The two seemed to know it tacitly, Yang Ling didn't mention what he was going to do, after eating, Yang Ling took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Qu Xiaobai went to wash, sorted out his clothes, and before going out, he took advantage of Yang Ling's inattention and gnawed at the corner of his mouth.

"It's not just that you're going to sneak attack."

Qu Xiaobai looked at Yang Ling's stunned expression, grinned, and walked away.

Yang Ling packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the house to change his clothes. The clothes were made for him by Qu Xiaobai himself, and the style was naturally good, but he looked at the twisted earthworm-like stitches on the clothes, and couldn't help but pick his lips and smile. This little girl is actually very clumsy with hands and feet, but her brain is better than what kind of person he has ever seen.

As soon as the clothes that perfectly matched his figure were put on, his temperament immediately changed. It is obviously as bright as a jade tree before the wind, but it is a piece of cold jade that has been precipitated for thousands of years, the edge is not exposed, and the cold air is slightly hidden, and it is a collection that can only be displayed in the high pavilion.

Before going out, he packed up Qu Xiaobai's three books and locked them in the safe. The string of passwords set by Qu Xiaobai was easily cracked by him.

The safe was still in the pyre, and he locked the door and walked towards the mountains on the other side of the river.

He was extremely fast, and Ling Bo skimmed across the river with a slight step, disappearing into the mountains.

The forest on the mountain is sparse, the cliffs are steep, but at his feet is like walking on the ground, without two cups of tea, standing on the top of the mountain, looking down, the mountains under the mountain are stacked on top of each other, it is still an endless small mountain, which stretches to the distance beyond the sight.

The small hills were different from the peaks at his feet, and although they were not high, they were all wooded and lush. He flew down into the woods.

Compared with the low place from the high place, after entering the mountain forest, you can see that the mountain forest is too dense because the trees are too lush, the light is extremely dim, and it seems that the inside is gloomy.

After this area of mountains and forests, is the territory of Diyi, the Diyi people are ferocious, it is said that they are monsters that can eat human flesh, so on the contrary, except for the more courageous hunters who will enter this dense forest to hunt in the autumn of each year, no one dares to enter this dense forest.

The mountains and forests are full of the smell of humus, and in some places because there is too much humus, a miasma has been formed, Yang Ling ripped off the sweat towel from his belt, covered his mouth and nose, and performed light skills, shuttling through the dense forest, his body was as fast as lightning!

After running in the dense forest for half an hour, Yang Ling stopped in a valley.

The valley in front of him looked no different from the mountains and forests in this area, they were all dense forests, but after Yang Ling entered here, he began to put them carefully.

After entering the valley for a mile, the miasma was obviously aggravated, and the ground was three feet up, all steaming with a light blue color, Yang Ling had to exert light skills and skim over the dense forest.

His footwork is also implied by the rules, obviously, there is not only a miasma in the valley, but also a formation. The formation is a kind of maze array, which is very cleverly designed, containing infinite changes in it, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it and cannot get out.

Yang Ling skillfully passed through the formation and entered the hinterland of the valley. At this point, not only is the formation gone, but even the miasma has disappeared, the mountains are full of flowers and trees, the courtyard is deep, and it is a grand scene like a paradise.

The gate of the courtyard is a black lacquered gate, the gatehouse is very high, there is an empty plaque on the lintel, there is no word written, the area is full of dust, it is obvious that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

The door knocker is also dusty, the door is closed, and there is a lock hanging on it, Yang Ling walked to the stone lion in front of the door, and touched a mechanism on the inside of the stone lion's leg, and with a light press, one of the stone lion's legs was raised, and where the lion stepped on it, a rusty iron box was exposed.

Yang Ling picked up the iron box, brushed off the soil on it, opened it, took out a key from it, walked to the door, and inserted the key into the lock hole.

There was a click, and the lock opened. Pushing open the dusty door, the door panel made a creaking sound, and the dust fell from above, Yang Ling waved his sleeves and brushed it, and waited for the dust to settle before stepping into the door.

As soon as I entered the door, a whitening skeleton suddenly came into view.

Yang Ling's eyes were extremely black, as if they had been splashed with ink, and the bottom of his eyes radiated a sharp edge as cold as a sword. He only glanced at the skeleton and walked indifferently.

The further in, among the lush flowers and trees, the more dry bones and broken blades there are. In some places where the rocks were piled up and did not see the light of day, dark dried blood stains could still be faintly seen.

Yang Ling's mind kept coming back to the scene before he was attacked.

It was a night when I couldn't see my fingers. As usual, after practicing the mental method, he said goodbye to his master and prepared to go back to Yangshutun Village on the other side of the mountain, but before he could walk out of the door, he heard a sound like a howling wind in the dark night. Before he could dodge, a large number of black-clad people poured into the isolated courtyard.

Those people's martial arts are very high, very ferocious, and they kill people when they see them, almost leaving no chance for people to live.

The master protected him and urged him to leave quickly, not to stay, he didn't want to be a deserter, and stubbornly refused to leave. The master led the people to attack left and right, trying to break through the encirclement and escort him out.

But there were too many people on the other side, and the martial arts were not inferior to him and the guards in this courtyard, he watched the guards fall down one by one, in a pool of blood, and there were fewer and fewer people around him to protect him, he fought hard with a long sword in his hand, and the master and the second senior brother Shi Qiao protected him in front of him, and protected him to escape while fighting with those people.

The casualties on the other side were also very heavy, falling one by one, and those who were standing, one by one, decreasing.

The last memory is on an oncoming long sword. He knew the sword.
