The area south of the Yangtze River that Qi Jing was ordered to supervise this time included five prefectures, from large to small, Jinling, Guangling, Xuzhou, Yuhang, and Pingzhou.

Among them, there is a Jiangnan martial arts field in the land of Jinling, and the people of the rivers and lakes from the five states of the south of the Yangtze River gather on the first few days of the month every month to compete in martial arts.

Ah Gu will set up a small stall in the Jiangnan martial arts field at the beginning of the month.

It is inconspicuous because she will always set up a small stall in a remote corner of the deserted and few people, and when it comes to attracting people's eyes, it is in a group of Great Qi people who grew up in the Central Plains, and her alien appearance will inevitably make people look at it twice.

Ah Gu is a Miao girl of Nanzhao Kingdom, but she has an exotic appearance, petite figure, dark complexion, curly brown hair, high nose and deep eyes, but she is also an alien beauty.

Ah Gu only began to appear in the Jiangnan Martial Arts Field two years ago, and some curious others have been intermittently probing in the past two years, roughly piecing together her origins. She is the daughter of Miao people and Tianzhu life, her parents died when she was a child, she grew up with her grandmother in Nanzhao Miaojiang, and after her grandmother died, she went to the Central Plains alone, wanting to see a different scenery in the world, and she liked Jiangnan very much, so she settled here. My grandmother was illiterate and couldn't name her, so because she was an old woman who could refine some Miao Gu, she called her granddaughter Ah Gu.

A Gu lives in Pingzhou, she doesn't know martial arts, but every time she goes to Jinling with the crowd at the beginning of the month, in addition to being born more like a Tianzhu person in appearance, she dresses like an ordinary Daqi girl, her brown curly hair is loosely braided into a thick braid from the back of her head and tied with a hairband around her waist, often wearing a dark blue skirt, sitting behind her stall and looking at the competition on the stage.

Ah Gu's stall sells fruit water dim sum, but it is not an ordinary fruit water dim sum, it is said to be integrated into the ancient method of her grandmother's hometown, which has its own miraculous effects due to different types, such as what strengthens the body, eliminates tiredness, and dredges the blockage, which sounds a little funny, so there are many people who are casual nonsense when this teenage girl is a good business, and Ah Gu doesn't care what others say, and still seriously answers the corresponding effects of each fruit point to the guests who patronize the stall.

Ah Gu's business is actually not very good, others think she is making up nonsense, the second is afraid that her so-called grandmother's ancient method will melt some strange Gu poison into the food, and the third is that she always carries a small bamboo basket with a thin mouth, resting it at her feet or on the stall, and others didn't know what it was, until a certain time Ah Gu was teased by a little hooligan, he took out a piccolo from his sleeve with a cold face and blew it a few times, and a small green snake rushed out of the bamboo basket and took a bite at the little hooligan, biting his whole body paralyzed and unable to move. The friends of the same company took the antidote given by Ah Gu in a panic and dragged the little hooligan away, and the onlookers were also shocked and retreated, and Ah Gu's business became even more deserted from then on.

She doesn't seem to care about business, but she must come every month, guarding the stall quietly nesting in the corner to watch the competition, others don't provoke her, she never talks to people, only one quirk, that is, in addition to her stall of fruit water pastries, she will make several kinds of food every month, and the forms are also different, or snacks, or fruits, or a cup of tea, and prefer to choose a few top-notch people in each competition, calling herself "tonic".

At first, they didn't dare to take it, for fear that she would be poisoned, but Liu Beicang, the eldest disciple of Pingzhou Jinghong Villa, smiled heartily, took the cup of tea and drank it all, and said to everyone: "The big man who stands up to the sky and the earth, but here he suspects for no reason that a weak woman wants to poison you, and he will come out!" ”

There is a gallant Liu Beicang who tested the poison, and since then, everyone has not been afraid of the food given by Ah Gu, and the taste of eating is not bad, even if the tonic effect is Ah Gu Hu weaving, it doesn't hurt to eat it.

After a long time, Liu Beicang's fellow disciples felt something different, and finally one day they were jokingly broken by the murmuring sister of the villa: "Senior Brother Beicang, you might as well marry someone else's A Gu girl home, so that her tonic is only made for you alone!" ”

Liu Beicang didn't know what Ah Gu liked, and his face was inexplicable: "What do I want to do with so many tonics, eating too much to make up for it is not good for your body, if you don't believe it, ask your senior brother Weizhi if it is." ”

Murmuring helplessly stroked his forehead, and hated his stunned and dull brain.

Listening to Shen Baizhou say that this Liu Beicang seems to have opened his mind recently, and at the martial arts competition at the beginning of this month, he finally bothered to please the Gu girl, but unfortunately I don't know if his brain has been wrong all the year round, and he is clumsy in talking and doing things, and in the end it seems to be self-defeating.

At dusk, a few people went to the town to choose a tavern nearby, because a group of seven people could not sit at one table, so they chose two open-air tables outside the tavern door and sat together, ordered wine and a table of food, and sat down around.

In addition to the fixed combination of Shen Baizhou, Qin Xun, and Lu Feng, there are naturally Liu Beicang, who was frustrated in love, and Qin Huai and Qi Jing, whom Shen Baizhou asked Qin Xun to call together, also brought Chu Ci who returned to the villa from the Guangling Academy on vacation.

Liu Beicang and Shen Baizhou are fellow villagers, Beidi people's clan, a single name is a Xuanzi, the word is called Beicang, and this year is twenty and four. The two of them came south to worship the Jinghong Villa, which was established a few years ago, and now they are the senior brother and the second senior brother of the disciples, and they can be regarded as wearing a pair of pants to grow up and have a very good relationship.

Compared with Shen Baizhou's uninhibited and uninhibited, Liu Beicang is more like an authentic northern man, hearty and enthusiastic, burly, and slapping someone on the back when greeting can slap Qin Xun's body bones down with no martial arts foundation.

"So senior brother, what did you do to other people's Gu girls?" Qin Xun first put a few chopsticks in Qi Jing's bowl when the dishes were served, otherwise after a while, everyone would have sandwiched the dishes, and Qi Jing would probably not want to touch them.

Liu Beicang drank the wine at the bottom of the bowl in one gulp, looking a little annoyed, saying that he invited Ah Gu to eat with him after the Jinling martial arts meeting this time, he originally wanted to show his thoughtfulness and closeness, but he accidentally spilled his hand when serving the soup, and burned Ah Gu's hand, Ah Gu said calmly, he hurriedly took his sleeve to wipe her, and felt too embarrassed and wanted to say something funny to slow down the atmosphere, but Ah Gu didn't seem to think he was interesting.

Lu Feng was curious: "What did Senior Brother Beicang say?" ”

Liu Beicang scratched her head: "I wiped her hands, and said by the way that her skin is not as white as the Central Plains girl, and her arms are quite fleshy. ”

Chu Ci wiped his face: "Senior brother, that...... The girl's house should be ...... I don't like to be called black and fat, you forgot that at the beginning of the year, you went back to your hometown for the New Year, and you said that you seemed to be fat, and she was so angry that she ignored you for several days. ”

"I thought that a foreign girl like her didn't eat the same set as our Daqi girl......" Liu Beicang was a little aggrieved.

"Besides, what else, did you say anything else?" Qin Xun couldn't wait to hear the joke, but was glared at by Lu Feng and warned him to restrain some of the schadenfreude on his face.

"Also, when I saw that she didn't have any expression in her voice, I thought that I wasn't talking interesting enough, so I joked with her that she had long hairs on her arms, and asked her if she was a foreign girl with long hand hair, and I also stretched out my arm to compare with her to see whose hand hair was longer. Well, you see, I don't seem to have any hair on my hands......" Liu Beicang said, stretching his arms out in front of them.

Shen Baizhou "snapped" and slapped his arm back: "Take it away!" Whoever wants to look at your hand hair, what is it in your head! ”

Qin Xun laughed crookedly, Qi Jing saw him laughing unceremoniously and leaned straight on him, he couldn't help but hold back his laughter, and whispered to him "Okay", signaling that he was so rude.

"Oh, there's more." Liu Beicang chewed a bite of braised beef and thought of the follow-up, swallowed it and gestured with his hand, "I heard that girls will feel very happy when their sweethearts touch their heads, I wiped her hands, just like this, like this, touched her head." She spoke to me this time, saying that I was very skilled in touching my head and that I often touched the girl's head. ”

Lu Feng finally found an opportunity to comfort him, and said busily: "Yes, it's good, she is a little vinegar, and she probably likes you a little bit of senior brother!" ”

"Yes, I thought so too, so I quickly explained to her that I am not that kind of person, I never touch other girls' heads, but often touch the rhubarb of our villa, so it is easier to touch her, and then ...... Then she asked me who Rhubarb was, and I ......," Liu Beicang said dejectedly, "I knew you were going to laugh at me, I was indeed a very boring and non-talkative person......"

"......" Lu Feng stroked his forehead, and couldn't squeeze out words to comfort him.

Rhubarb is a big yellow dog raised at the door of the canteen to prevent greedy disciples from sneaking in and stealing food.

Liu Beicang swallowed a few bowls of wine, and sure enough, his cheeks were already red, and he talked more, chattering: "I'm actually afraid that she will dislike me, I'm afraid that she will think I'm too fierce, do you know, Uncle Shu Huai also said before that if I squatted at the door of the canteen with a straight face, it would be a human-shaped rhubarb ...... at all."

Shen Baizhou: "Listen to her nonsense, rhubarb is clearly the mother!" ”

Lu Feng twisted Shen Baizhou's thigh hard under the table, signaling him not to damage this drunk again.

Liu Beicang continued to mumble: "Really, I'm really afraid that she will dislike me, I look fierce, and I can't speak, you see that those junior sisters in the villa ignore me, and the girls outside ignore me, Ah Gu is so good-looking, she probably doesn't look down on me......"

"It's okay, she's afraid you'll dislike her hand-hiss." Qin Xun didn't finish speaking, but Lu Feng also twisted his thighs under the table to stop him from saying cool words, and hurriedly changed his words, "I want to open a little senior brother, you see that this is the case, she hasn't pushed you into the soup bowl or put a snake to bite you, what does it mean?" It means that she doesn't hate you! You're still very funny! ”

Liu Beicang didn't know if he heard it, he collapsed on the table and wanted to pull the wine bowl, but was taken away by Shen Baizhou: "Okay, drink two sips, and if you drink again, you will have to go crazy with alcohol." ”

Liu Beicang's brain was a mess, babbling incoherently and babbling nonsense, and he always wanted to continue to pull the wine bowl and was stopped by Shen Baizhou, until everyone was full of wine and food and settled back to the villa, and was sent back to the room by Shen Baizhou and Lu Feng with their arms on their hands.
