Chapter 14 Suspicion is the Coming of the Old Man

The third round of the competition is held the next day, and the fifteen people who are selected in the second round and the top five in the written test will compete in the third round together. This time, there were more people who came to see the excitement, because the top five in the written test were all the favorites they were optimistic about before. For example, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, and Zhang Yi are all among the top five in the written test.

Ruyi and a few people also came over early to join in the fun. When a few people crowded into the front row, Su Qin was already waiting there.

"Did you come early enough?" Zhang Tie patted Su Qin's shoulder like patting his own little brother.

Su Qin greeted a few people with a slight salute, and then turned his head and looked at the competition hall intently. Several people were very strange, how could this talkative and stubborn teenager be so quiet today.

The sound of gongs and drums sounded on the field, indicating that today's competition was about to begin. Walking on the stage was a young man in a gray cloth shirt who seemed to be weak but was calm and introverted, and this person was Zhang Yi who fed the fish yesterday. Su Qin immediately waved his arm excitedly at Zhang Yi. Several people turned their heads to look at Su Qin at the same time, this gap is a bit big.

Zhang Yi picked a gun, and the spear danced superbly. The opponent is a thin and slightly wooden young man holding a long sword, and the long sword responds to it flying freely, which forms a sharp contrast with the appearance of Mu Ne, which is interesting.

Tian Rang whispered to Ruyi to introduce the people on the field, and Ruyi knew that the young man who danced the gun was Zhang Yi, who became famous as a teenager. When he looked at Zhang Yi again, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

I saw Zhang Yi sweeping a spear on the field, like a prairie fire, unstoppable. The opponent did not show weakness, a horse stepped on Feiyan, and avoided the offensive without danger. Zhang Yi was not discouraged, the offensive was still fierce and brave, and the opponent was even more serious and responded with one sword at a time.

Whether Zhang Yi is stabbing horizontally or forcefully, the opponents will resolve them one by one. Nearly 100 rounds have been played, but neither side is impatient, but the onlookers are a little anxious, cheering, cheering, cheering, cheering, and pointing one after another.

Su Qin clenched his fists, with an expression of eagerness to rush to the field immediately. "Little brother, don't worry, we'll have to divide the winners and losers in a while." Zhang Tie crossed his arms and said to Su Qin with a smile. Su Qin thought that Zhang Tie was coaxing him, so he ignored it.

After a few rounds, the situation on the field took a sharp turn for the worse, only to see a little cold mang arrive first, and then the gun came out like a dragon pointing straight at the center of the eyebrows, and the gun clenched his fist, "Accept." "The whole set of actions is done in one go. It was only then that the audience reacted and erupted in thunderous applause and cheers. Zhang Yi had already quietly left.

Wei Poppy, who has always been picky, also applauded slowly at this time. "Not bad, not bad." Nodding his head in approval.

Ruyi doesn't know much about martial arts routines, but she also thinks it's exciting. This is probably the so-called layman watching the excitement, and the insider looking at the doorway. She listened to Wei Poppy's tone and seemed to recognize this set of marksmanship, "Brother Wei, do you recognize this set of marksmanship?" ”

Wei Poppy sighed and said: "This set of marksmanship is Wu Qi's Wuzi marksmanship, although the heat is still a little lacking, but there are already six or seven points of skill, and it is more than enough to win the competition." ”

"So that's the case, Brother Wei, you know a lot." Yingman said with a look of adoration. Ruyi looked at Yingman and nodded thoughtfully.

The competition on the field was still going on, and Ruyi found that Su Qin didn't watch the competition anymore but walked towards the courtyard, fearing that he would cause trouble and followed.

Everyone was watching the competition in front, but the backyard was very quiet, and I didn't see a person after walking for a long time. Walking to the lotus pond, Su Qin looked left and right, looking like he was looking for someone. Ruyi walked over and asked puzzledly, "What are you looking for?" Instead, it startled Su Qin.

Su Qin patted his chest to calm his frightened heart, and stammered, "No, I didn't look for anything." Before Ruyi could say anything, he heard a sneer behind him.

The two turned their heads at the same time, only to see the young man in a cloth shirt who had won the gun dance on the field just now flashed out from behind the flowers and trees. Ruyi called out in some surprise, "Zhang Yi." ”

Zhang Yi pretended to straighten her already neat clothes, stroked the non-existent beard on her chin, and said with narcissistic emotion: "It turns out that I am so famous." ”

"So you're hiding there, I said I couldn't find you." Su Qin scratched his head and said a little shyly.

"Little ghost, why are you coming to me again? I also brought people. Zhang Yi said and glanced at Ruyi.

Ruyi saw that the two knew each other and explained, "I'm afraid that something will happen to him, so I'll come and have a look." I don't know if you made an appointment. ”

Zhang Yi retorted, "I didn't make an appointment with him. He chased after him himself, you should leave quickly, the school is heavy and does not allow outsiders to enter. ”

Su Qin was a little aggrieved, he really made friends, but he was disliked. I didn't speak, turned my head and walked out. Ruyi turned around and was about to go out with him, Zhang Yi passed by Ruyi who was walking towards this side, and whispered: "He can still come in when he goes out, you might as well go shopping first." Ruyi looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously, but Zhang Yi didn't stop and walked straight out.

Ruyi thought about what Zhang Yi meant just now, and thought a little distracted. The corridor was a little winding, and she didn't pay attention to the direction, she turned the wrong corridor and didn't go out, but walked in. When she found out, the surrounding scenery was already a little unfamiliar, and she realized that it was not the way she came.

In front of it is a large vegetable field, and at the end of the vegetable field seems to be a medicine garden, and behind the medicine garden is a bamboo forest. Under the shade of the bamboo forest, Ruyi did not notice that there was a bamboo building by the bamboo forest.

Ruyi walked inside curiously, and when he walked to the medicine garden, he found that there was an old man with crane hair squatting on the ground with his back in the medicine garden and weeding the herbs, the sun was a little strong, and the old man was wearing a big hat with an open top on his head, covering most of his body.

Ruyi walked over and said respectfully, "I'll help you." Saying that, he also squatted down to help weed, the old man did not look back, and muttered to himself: "There are still children who don't go to see the competition today?" ”

Ruyi didn't look old when he heard the voice, stuck out his tongue, and thought, "Fortunately, I didn't call the old man." After doing it for a while, the old man stood up and straightened his waist, turned his head to see that Ruyi was doing it quickly and skillfully, the herbs were standing on the ground intact, and the weeds were removed one by one, without harming the herbs at all.

"Do you recognize these herbs?" The old man asked from behind him. Ruyi's hand movements did not stop, and he replied while continuing to weed: "I know a little." In fact, Ruyi doesn't remember how he recognized these herbs, but he just felt that this scene was very familiar, as if he had done it before.

These herbs are not common herbs, but a very rare herb, called deer fairy grass, it is rumored to have the effect of reviving the dead, and the folk are also called rejuvenation grass. It is difficult to see because it is difficult to breed and is demanding in the wild. And the weeds that grow next to it are also a kind of medicine, and the medicinal properties are mutually reinforcing with it, called lobelia, and the flowers resemble half a lotus flower in the flowering period, so it is named. If this medicine is used as poison, then it must be solved by using rejuvenation grass.

Ruyi finished removing the last row of grass, straightened up, wiped his sweat, and looked back at the old man. The old man stood on the brim of his hat at the end of the medicine garden and covered his face clearly, but from a distance, his figure was like a fairy, his clothes were flowing like the wind, and he looked like he was about to soar, how could he still look like the old man who was farming in the medicine garden just now.

"Are you ......?" The old man looked at Ruyi and fell silent after only saying two words.

Ruyi didn't know how to answer, whether she said that she had strayed into the backyard or that she had gone the wrong way. Either way, it's not good to break in without permission. Ruyi is hesitating how to answer. The old man didn't give her another chance to think.

"Come with me." The old man turned around and walked towards the bamboo building. Ruyi was a little stunned for a while, and didn't ask who she was, so she let her follow. Ruyi didn't hesitate to follow him towards the bamboo building.

"Do you know how to cook?" As he spoke, the old man took off his hat and hung it at the door, and continued to walk towards the small kitchen inside.

Ruyi looked at his gray-haired back and nodded subconsciously. Finding that he couldn't see, he quickly added, "Yes." ”

"Can you help me make a meal? There are some simple ingredients here, and I'll find what else you need. As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ruyi, with a serious expression on his face, and even a little expectation.

Ruyi looked at his face in surprise, a handsome countenance, eyes like stars, clear eyes like twinkling stars, except for snow-white hair and silver beard. The face is still very young, not an old man at all.

When Ruyi looked at him, he also looked at Ruyi intently, but it seemed that he was reminiscing about others through Ruyi. Ruyi hid his surprise and looked at it before saying, "I'll try it." ”

After saying that, he began to turn around and get busy. Guigu found himself in a momentary gaffe, and hurriedly turned around and walked out of the small kitchen. Walked to the tea table and sat down, poured himself a cup, and drank it all, this is the most despised cow drink in Guigu.

The cold tea woke up Guigu's chaotic thoughts, and he regained his previous calm elegance after recovering his clothes. Guigu didn't expect to see this face. The scenes of the past are back in front of us.

"Sir, the meal is ready. You taste it. Ruyi put the dishes on the table. A plate of sesame oil chicken, a plate of vegetarian fried daylily, and a bowl of spicy soup.

Guigu picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and said with a smile: "It's really about the same." "It's almost the same as the taste, or it's similar to what others make. Ruyi didn't think about it.

"Sit down and eat together." Guigu said with a smile.

"No, my friends are still waiting for me outside, and I've been out for a long time, I'm afraid they'll be in a hurry." Ruyi walked to the door and turned back and said with a smile, "If it's delicious, I'll make it again when I have the chance." ”

Guigu nodded, smiling at Ruyi who walked away, eating this simple meal with a rare satisfaction in his heart.

When Ruyi came out, the competition on the martial arts arena had ended. Speeches have already begun. "Miss, where did you just go? I've been looking for you for a long time. Xia He said nervously as he pulled Ruyi's sleeves. Ruyi patted the back of Xia He's hand soothingly.

Soon Wei Poppy and Tian Rang also gathered, "Ruyi, you let us find it easily." Ruyi apologized to everyone and said, "It's worried everyone." I didn't explain too much. Everyone is so happy to admit their mistakes, and it is difficult to say anything.

"Miss, didn't you see just now, Pang Juan danced well with a long sword, and Sun Bin played with a big knife." Xia He chattered with Ruyi about the competition she hadn't seen when she left.

Wei Poppy originally wanted to say something to Ruyi, but there were too many people so he had to give up and follow everyone towards the inn under the mountain.
