Chapter 236: The White-bearded Old Man with Quirks
Xiao Feifei smiled and put the chrysanthemum in his hand into Xiang Zixi's sideburns, reflecting her beautiful and elegant.
"Since you can't put it down, why don't you go and inquire about it?" Xin Zeyang said lightly: "It's better than being suspicious here!" ”
"I didn't!" Xiang Zixi looked away in a panic, and said to Ma Xiucai: "Let's go, let's go climb the mountain!" I heard that the state capital also has a celebration on the mountain, and it is said that it is a celebration with the people! ”
Ma Xiucai rubbed his palms and said eagerly: "Yes, yes, I also heard about it before I came over!" ”
Xiang Zixi smiled lightly and led everyone towards an unknown mountain nearby.
There are more and more pedestrians on the road, many people are holding chrysanthemums or dogwoods, elated, bringing the old to help the young, and the family is happy to climb the mountain and play. Xiang Zixi and his party are also a big group, so they didn't go much faster all the way, and they fell behind the crowd so leisurely.
The mountain breeze is very refreshing. Despite the subtropical climate in the south, it is still much cooler in September of the lunar calendar.
Mixed in the crowd, Xiang Zixi shook his head gently, temporarily put aside his thoughts, and seriously watched the surrounding scenery, and followed the big guy to climb the mountain and play.
There are a lot of wild chrysanthemums growing on both sides of the mountain road, the flowers are very small but very dense, there are red dung, purple white, purple and red, it is really beautiful. However, because it is wild and the flowers are small, the big ones rarely pick them, and they still buy the kind of cultivated chrysanthemums with large flowers from the bottom of the mountain.
However, there are also some children who laugh and play and pick a lot, pinned to their chests, but it is also chic.
Halfway up the mountain, someone has set up several pavilions here for pedestrians who are tired of climbing the mountain to rest. Xiang Zixi saw Ma Xiucai panting slightly, estimating that he was tired enough, and immediately said, "Let's sit down and rest for a while before climbing!" ”
Hearing Xiang Zixi say this, Ma Xiucai suddenly rushed into the nearest gazebo and asked everyone for a bowl of chrysanthemum wine.
Soon, the boss came up with a tea plate and five wine bowls, first cutting off a bowl of wine soaked in chrysanthemum petals in front of Xiang Zixi, followed by Ma Xiucai and Xin Zeyang, Xiao Fei Xiao Chubby and finally went up.
Xiang Zixi was just about to serve the bowl and drink, when the corner of her eye suddenly caught a glimpse of the chrysanthemum wine in other people's bowls without petals, and she immediately shouted: "Don't drink ——————"
But it was already late, and the other people climbed the mountain and were a little thirsty, so they took the bowl and poured it into their stomachs. By the time I reminded Zixi, the four of them had already drunk a little.
Xin Zeyang was about to ask what was wrong, but before the words came out, he only felt that his tongue was numb for a while, and his body fell on the table as soon as he became weak!
Look at Ma Xiucai and Xiao Fat Xiao Chubby, they are already lying on the table like a ball of mud!
Xiang Zixi jumped up from the table suddenly, and was just about to settle accounts with the owner of this pavilion, when a figure slowly flashed from behind and appeared in front of Xiang Zixi.
"It's you! What's wrong with them? Xiang Zi Xi looked at the person, and suddenly became angry: "Hua Jiuqi, if you can't satisfy me with today's explanation, I'm not done with you!" ”
Seeing Xiang Zi Xi pointing at the tip of her nose menacingly, Hua Jiuqi suddenly dodged her fingers and used her fingers to remove Xiang Zi Xi's angry fingers.
"Hey, I'm doing this for their good! If our next conversation leaks out, something will happen! Hua Jiuqi said with a grin.
Xiang Zixi turned around and saw that everyone else in the pavilion had fallen unconscious, and a sign saying that they were closed was hung outside the door. It seems that this was premeditated for a long time!
Xiang Zixi's eyebrows sank: "What are you looking for me?" ”
Hua Jiuqi dragged a chair and sat opposite Xiang Zixi, and said in a low voice: "You have come all the way, I believe you have seen some problems, yes, both the Zhuo Kingdom and the Miao Kingdom are increasing taxes, and the increase in taxes is not a matter of one or two days, but the speed of these days has suddenly increased!" ”
"What are you telling me about this? I'm not a politician! Xiang Zixi said coldly.
"But these people have something to do with you!" Hua Jiuqi hugged his arms and said, "Okay, I am also entrusted by others to convey a word to you!" Princess Ziqing escaped from prison, and has abandoned her former identity and became the daughter of King Qi, named Jin Xiaoxiao. Now King Qi and Jin Xiaoxiao are both in the Dark Kingdom, and they have officially declared war on the Dark Kingdom! ”
"What does this have to do with me?" Xiang Zixi still said coldly: "I can't control political matters, and I don't want to care!" If that's all you have to say, then please get rid of their drugs! ”
Hua Jiuqi scratched the top of his head and said, "I knew I couldn't convince you!" But I have to come to you! Xiang Zixi, there is someone who wants to see you! ”
"Nope!" Xiang Zixi refused: "I don't see anyone!" ”
"This person is no better than others, you must meet it!" Hua Jiuqi sighed: "This person is my master, and I was forced by my master to come down to find you." Moreover, the master has something to say to you alone. Master, his old man asked me to tell you, and he said, since you have come to this world, you must have a reason to come to this world. Your past is just a flash in the pan, and your real life is not in the past, but in the present! Well, frankly speaking, I heard this sentence in a fog, but the master just asked me to pass it on to you word for word! ”
Xiang Zixi listened to Hua Jiuqi say this, and his face changed completely!
"Wait, what did you say? You say your master - he knows my past, my future? Xiang Zixi grabbed Hua Jiuqi's collar and lowered his voice: "Where is your master?" ”
Hua Jiuqi looked at Xiang Zixi in surprise, as if he had seen a ghost: "Hey, no!" My master said, as long as I tell you so, you will definitely follow me! When did the old man become so powerful, and he could pinch it? ”
"Less nonsense, take me there!" Xiang Zixi felt a pang of confusion in his heart, this was the first person who knew his background after he came to this world. Could it be that there is really a reason why I came to this world?
Hua Jiuqi was dragged up from the chair by Xiang Zixi, and walked outside so stiffly, and Hua Jiuqi shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, are you a woman!" How can it be so rude! ”
"You don't need to worry about whether I'm a woman or not, you just need to bring me to your master now and take care of those companions for me!" Xiang Zixi said coldly, but his heart suddenly became anxious.
Yes, since she came into this world, there have been more questions in her mind. That's why did Yue Lao let himself come into this world? Those immortals can't be idle eggs, and they have nothing to do, right? There must be a reason, right?
Now that an old man who knows his true identity suddenly appears, how can he not be curious?
With that, Xiang Zixi pulled Hua Jiuqi's collar, and left the mountain road like this, walking towards a winding path.
Going around and around, Hua Jiuqi finally took Xiang Zixi to the destination.
In front of me was a very inconspicuous little hut, somewhat similar to that kind of temporary structure, low and cold.
But the hut is surrounded by lush greenery, and there are large fruit trees growing on it. There are also bushes of wild chrysanthemums growing behind the thatched hut, which brings a touch of life to this inconspicuous thatched hut.
"Your master is here? You're not kidding me, are you? Xiang Zi Xi glared at the eyeballs, and couldn't wait to pick out the other party's eye bubbles!
"Wow! You're so fierce! This place was a temporary base for us. My master and I often don't have a fixed place to live! Hua Jiuqi lazily crossed his arms and said, "Okay, my task of bringing you over is complete, my master is in the house, you go to him!" I'm going to talk to my sisters on the top of the mountain! ”
Big carrots!
"What about my friend? If they have less hairs, I will only ask you! Xiang Zixi did not forget to tell Hua Jiuqi.
"Got it, got it, really! I owe you! It's obviously you who owe me! but it is the same as I owe you! Hua Jiuqi waved helplessly and turned away.
Xiang Zixi walked slowly towards the small thatched hut, turned the corner of the house, but saw a white-bearded old man with a short figure lying lazily on a bamboo chair basking in the sun.
"Old man! Excuse me! Xiang Zixi stepped forward and greeted in a low voice: "May I ask you to find me?" ”
The white-bearded old man squinted his eyes and ignored Xiang Zixi, just dangling so leisurely and leisurely, very comfortable.
"Old man? Are you looking for me? Xiang Zixi raised his voice, but he knew that the other party still ignored him.
Xiang Zixi thought that people were old at first, and just about to step forward and continue to raise the volume and continue to shout, it suddenly occurred to him that Hua Jiuqi was obviously a man with not weak martial arts, how could his master be an old-eyed straw bag?
Feelings: This old man is deliberately playing with himself!
Xiang Zixi's eyes glanced lightly in the house, and at a glance he saw a mountain of wine jars, and immediately understood that this old man must be a drunkard who is addicted to alcohol! Well, since you're an alcoholic, I have a way to get you to talk!
Xiang Zixi turned around and ran towards the house, grabbed the jar in the house, and was about to go out without looking at the old man.
Hey! The old man really calmed down!
Xiang Zixi was not discouraged, and moved the wine jars in the house one by one, and then came back lazily and said to the old man lying on the chair: "Old man! I just came down the mountain and drank a lot of wine! There is a first-class daughter Hongyo! ”
The old man remained silent, smiled at Zi Xi and continued: "And I didn't even pay!" I told them that if I wanted an account, I would ask for an old man with a white beard who was five short and unrecognizable, looking honest but rich in thieves! If he really doesn't have any money, he will pawn this fruit grove as wine money! Now the creditors are waiting at the door! If you don't wake up again, the owner of this garden will be replaced! ”
"Hey! You little girl! "This time, the old man finally stopped standing up.
