The sky is dark and the clouds cover the moon, the wind is high and the four fields are blowing, you are not greedy for night roads, and a hundred ghosts are secretly peeping.

I saw two fast horses galloping on the country road, followed by a donkey in the distance. One horse was sitting on the old man Jiang and the mechanical beauty, the other horse was sitting Liu Cheng and Liu Rui, and the donkey behind was the old man known as the ninth brother, "Second brother, you slow down, my donkey is not so fast." ”

Although the donkey ran slowly, it had good endurance and never fell behind. In the sky, Fluttershy flew down and said to Jiang Jiuye, "Jiang Jiuye, do you want me to give you a ride?"

The old man was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, how dare you trouble the young master." My donkey can still keep up. ”

When she finally arrives at a small fishing village, Fluttershy transforms into a little white cat and lands on Jiang Jiuye's shoulder to prevent anyone from seeing her flying, which scares Jiang Jiu's white hair.

When he came to Old Man Jiang's blacksmith shop, his silly girl and a big yellow dog were sitting at the door waiting for him, "Come back, Dad, hungry, hungry." ”

Old man Jiang took out a chicken leg wrapped in oilcloth and a scallion pancake from his arms and handed them to his silly girl Xiaohua, which was ordered in the restaurant, and he didn't know when he put it in his arms.

Liu Cheng said hello: "Senior sister has always been good. The stupid junior sister grinned at everyone and ate it, as if she didn't remember who Liu Cheng was.

After entering the house, lighting the oil lamp, Old Man Jiang brought a pot of water to everyone, and said to Jiang Laojiu: "I heard that someone is in a restaurant in the city, letting the dancing girl perform for three days in a row, and also agreed to sell Lu Ban's secret book tonight, I guessed that it might be you, you are really greedy, if I didn't wait, I am afraid that you would even lose your life."

"Thank you second brother for the rescue, rest assured, I have always had God's help, everything is in trouble, everything is auspicious, every evil turns into good fortune, it's okay, it's okay, if not, how can we get together, it's been almost more than ten years, why did the second brother get mixed up to such a point, with your ability, now you should be able to eat and wear without worrying about it." So saying, he looked at the impoverished house.

Old man Jiang introduced Liu Cheng to the ninth brother, and also told Liu Cheng that Jiang Yujiu was his cousin, ranking ninth among the boys in the family.

Jiang Jiuye repaired her dancing girl under the oil lamp, and Jiang Erye sarcastically said to him: "You are so old, and you still haven't changed your heart, you have to be such a beautiful puppet, and if you are a public, you won't attract death." ”

"Second brother, I don't like to hear what you say, it took me five years of hard work, don't you want to create a beauty, but also make an ugly monster, my Luban secret is all sold by this dancing girl, she is my cash cow. ”

After speaking, he took out a silver ticket of more than one hundred taels from his arms and handed it to Second Master Jiang, you are living so shabby now, it's not that your brain is not alive, and my brother has honored you with this hundred taels of silver tickets.

"I don't want your money, although I'm just a blacksmith here, but with good craftsmanship, I still don't have to worry about food and clothing. ”

Although Second Master Jiang had a hard mouth, his eyes were always staring at the silver ticket in Jiang Jiuye's hand.

Liu Cheng hurriedly took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels and handed it to the master, "Master, I have made a lot of money in business over the years. This is a silver ticket of two hundred taels, dedicated to you. ”

Jiang Jiuye saw that the two masters and apprentices were deliberately losing face, "You have to have it, you have a good apprentice, I can't do it, I have to rely on myself to support the elderly." ”

Second Master Jiang asked Liu Cheng suspiciously, "You three brothers, aren't you all Jinyi guards in the capital, why do you have so many money, can't you be promoted?" ”

"Jin Yiwei didn't do it, because he made a mistake and was dismissed, but he developed in business. Liu Cheng covered it up. "The two of them are better than me, and now they have both been promoted, but if it is the turn of whoever has money, it has to be that I have more money. ”

"A petty official, if you don't do it, you won't do it, or do it yourself. Second Master Jiang comforted.

When Jiang Jiuye heard that two of Old Man Jiang's three apprentices were all officials in Beijing, he was very envious, "I said Liu Cheng, when you have the opportunity, you can help me introduce you, are there any dignitaries in the capital who like machinery, if you climb a high branch, I will not worry about it for the rest of my life." ”

Second Master Jiang choked angrily when he heard it, "I said Lao Jiu, eight hundred taels of silver is not enough for you to support the elderly, and you are still thinking about going to the capital, have you forgotten your ancestral teachings."

Jiang Jiuye glanced at Xiao Fluttershy, who was yawning with Liu Rui, and hurriedly said, "When I didn't say it, when I didn't say it." The child and the young master are sleepy, you still arrange for everyone to sleep, and we will talk about it tomorrow if there is something. ”

Liu Cheng wonders why they're all afraid of Fluttershy.

Fluttershy, Liu Rui, and Xiaohua slept in the main landlord's room, Liu Cheng and the master slept in the west house, and Jiang Jiuye slept in the old man's tool room.

Liu Cheng lies on the bed and asks the master, "What the hell is Fluttershy?" ”

Old man Jiang thought for a long time before he said, "What is the relationship between the young master and you now?"

"Ostensibly my goddaughter, but the owner of the island wants her to marry me, and she really takes me as my daughter-in-law, but I am hesitant to marry her, I don't know when I will grow up, so I don't want to marry her, and I am afraid that I will not live up to the affection of the owner and Fluttershy. ”

"Silly boy, age is not the key, there are people like her age who are married, but do you just know her as a person?"

"Then master, tell me what she is about, I have never heard her mention her parents. Liu Cheng was interested and asked about the master.

"Well," the master sighed, "her origin is a mystery, when she was found by the river, she was just a baby, and there were children in the fishing village where I lived, and those who had milk took turns to feed her. She grows slower than a normal baby, at first others thought she was born mute, and then she could speak at the age of four or five, and she behaved very smart when she spoke, At the age of nine, she represented the fishing village to participate in the peach blossom world competition, the literary competition, won the championship in one fell swoop, and then was picked up by the owner of the island, and there was a special person to train, at the age of sixteen, she looked like a child of seven or eight years old, and won the second place in the martial arts competition, and won the first place at the age of seventeen, of course, this kind of competition is limited to people under the age of forty. When she was seventeen years old, some people in the Peach Blossom World disobeyed the owner, so they caused a rebellion, and in the chaos, Fluttershy was almost invincible, and if it wasn't for your mother feeding her milk for a few days, and she had played with Xiaohua since she was a child, my family would probably not have been able to escape from the Peach Blossom World. ”

"Master, how old should Fluttershy be now?"

"Thirty-something, the actual age is thirty-six or thirty-seven. ”

When Liu Cheng heard it, what, he was six years older than me. No wonder she looks like she is thirteen or fourteen years old, but she talks and acts like a mature woman.

"The Peach Blossom Realm is now in calamity, and everyone doesn't know if they're still there, and I can't imagine that these people who escaped from us have escaped this catastrophe. I'm not against you getting married, it's just that Fluttershy ......"

"Master, why don't you say it, go on. ”

"It's just that Fluttershy is a special person, she is the future owner of the island, you have to listen to her in the future, and you can help her well, and one day, maybe she will revive the peach blossom world. At that time, the master was also a person with status. ”

"Master, why do you seem to have changed the direction of the wind when you speak. ”

"Stinky boy, I'm old, and it's inevitable that I'll talk and sleep, sleep, sleep, and get up early tomorrow to fish, so that I can feed you little gluttonous cats. ”

The next day, everyone was woken up by the sound of a dog barking, and when they came out, they saw that the big yellow dog in the yard was barking at a flower cat on the eaves, which was Xiaohua, and there was a fish in its mouth.

"Ah Wang, come back, forget it, it's the guest's cat, let it go, besides, it's not our fish, what the hell are you doing. ”

The big yellow dog obediently returned to the door and sat down. Liu Cheng shouted at the cat demon: "Xiaohua, go fishing in a while, you won't go." But the flower cat didn't pay attention to him at all, Liu Cheng thought to himself, this guy pretended to be quite similar.

At this time, Old Man Jiang's daughter Xiaohua hugged Liu Cheng and shouted with a smile on her face: "Brother, brother......"

"You're finally remembering me, thank goodness. Liu Cheng touched his sister's head and laughed.

He and the master had breakfast and came to the Taihu Lake, it was a very old fishing boat, but it was improved by the old man Jiang very practical, after the sail, the boat sailed towards the center of Taihu Lake in the wind and waves, Liu Cheng seemed to have returned to the past.
