Jianghu Chapter 11 Down the Mountain
Because of the attack on the village, Bai Tongchen's process of leaving Nanbao Village was particularly hasty and simple, in the early morning of August 15, Bai Tongchen got up before the first rooster in the village and went to Quanxi Dongtian, that is, the northern spiritual spring in Zhenwu's mouth, after the seal was lifted, the aura no longer gathered here, the original lush Lingzhi fairy grass on the mountain wall has withered, but the gurgling mountain spring is still flowing, Zhenwu and Bai Tongchen inadvertently mentioned a thing, when Zhenwu was sealed in the northern spiritual spring, every three hundred years, there is a trace of spirit in the thousands of doppelgangers because of the passage of time and dissipated, that is to say, there will be a green turtle in the spring stream to die, about to leave, Bai Tongchen really didn't know what to give Zhang Sandou and Xu Xiaoyi, when he heard Zhenwu talk about this little thing, Bai Tongchen suddenly remembered that Zhang Sandou had told him that Xuanwu is a god believed in Taoism, and the legendary Xuanwu symbolizes immortality, and can be psychic to ask divination, so he thought of borrowing Zhenwu's turtle shell to make two small objects for Zhang Sandou and Xu Xiaoyi.
Zhang Sandou was very happy when he received the bracelet of the green turtle shell, but Xu Xiaoyi was not very happy.
"Miss Xiaoyi, my hands are too stupid, and I am in a hurry, so I can only give you this as a souvenir. Bai Tongchen said embarrassedly.
Xu Xiaoyi nodded and said softly, "Thank you, Master Gao." ”
Not far away, the village chief took Xu Xiaowan's hand and walked over, this is the first time Xu Xiaowan has gone down the mountain since he was so old, and he also pulled Xu Xiaoyi to get up early to dress himself up, and he pierced a small corner above his head, and ran over with a jump, his face was full of excitement, in the eyes of children, the sadness of parting was far less than the attraction of new things.
That night, the two Xuanwu didn't know what to say to the village chief, but they could feel that the village chief was much more relieved, but after all, it was their own granddaughter, and they were about to go down the mountain, and they were also full of reluctance.
The village chief sent Xu Xiaowan to Bai Tongchen's side and said, "Master Gao, you must take good care of my family Xiaowan, the old man has thanked Master Gao here first." ”
Bai Tongchen nodded and said, "Don't worry, village chief, I will definitely bring Xiao Wanjian back to Nanbao Mountain in good health." ”
Zhang Sandou stepped forward and patted Bai Tongchen's shoulder, then grabbed it, looked up and down, Bai Tongchen at this time was wearing a white robe that Xu Xiaowan had taken a long time to clean and sew, with a snow-white ribbon on his head, and a long sword on his back, just like a dashing son, in order for Bai Tongchen to go down the mountain, Zhang Sandou specially brought the only horse in the village over, it was a thin white horse, but with Bai Tongchen in white clothes, there was just a trace of artistic conception, which made Zhang Sandou very satisfied, Zhang Sandou said with a smile: " This style is our high brothers. ”
Bai Tongchen smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhang, you taught me my swordsmanship by yourself. ”
Zhang Sandou laughed when he heard this, and said: "That's right! In the future, Gao Gongzi will be famous in the rivers and lakes, and I will also be famous all over the world!"
Only Xu Xiaoyi stepped forward and squatted down, beckoning to Xu Xiaowan, Xu Xiaowan trotted over two steps, she took Xu Xiaowan's hand, and said softly: "Xiaowan, after going down the mountain, listen to Gao Gongzi's words, don't mess around, don't cry casually, you know?"
Xu Xiaowan nodded obediently and said, "Sister, don't worry, you take good care of your grandfather at home, Xiaowan is cured, and she will go home." ”
Xu Xiaoyi pursed her lips and smiled, touched Xu Xiaowan's head, and said, "Xiaowan, go." ”
Xu Xiaowan nodded, ran back to Bai Tongchen's side, Bai Tongchen hugged Xu Xiaowan to the horse, turned around, and said to the three people who saw them off: "Everyone go back quickly, I will take Xiaowan home soon." ”
The village chief and Zhang Sandou waved their hands.
Bai Tongchen turned over and got on his horse, turned around and waved his hand, and went down the mountain.
The fluttering white clothes, the little girl with the horns that soared into the sky, the skinny white horse.
Mid-Autumn Festival, go down the mountain.
Xu Xiaoyi tightly grasped the bracelet made of green turtle shells and pebbles in her palms, and watched the two of them slowly sink into the yellow mountains and forests, until the autumn breeze blew through the mountains and forests, until tears finally slipped from the corners of her eyes, and murmured softly: "I'll wait for you to go home." ”

North Chau, River Valley Wuli Street.
Today is the official opening of the mutual market, but it does not mean that all commodities can be replaced at will, all people who enter the valley Wuli Street need to carry out detailed identity registration, the goods in and out of the market must go through strict inspection when entering the market, and the mutual market supervisor has also set up a simple monitoring station in each of the mutual market stalls, all the mutual market trading commodities must be ticketed by the monitoring station to be able to get out of the customs, in fact, to the valley Wuli Street is not only the Beidi wilderness of the North Mangzi, many of the rich children in the North Continent, and even the people in the rivers and lakes will come to pick up some treasures when the market opens, at this time the valley Wuli Street, it can really be regarded as the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Bai Tongchen and Xu Xiaowan arrived at the Wuli Street in the valley when it was already evening, but the street was still full of people, and the restaurants and shops were all full, fortunately, Xiao Wu, who was in charge of purchasing in Yuanbao Village, had already asked someone to book a room in advance at the Laicai Inn, Bai Tongchen reported that Xiao Er also went to Lisuo, took the emaciated white horse to the stable, fed the forage, and then took Bai Tongchen and Xu Xiaowan to the room, the two of them did not bring much luggage, a few changes of clothes and some medicine for Xu Xiaowan to condition his body, and he didn't have to pack up anything, so he took Xu Xiaowan to the street to take a look。
Xu Xiaowan went down the mountain for the first time, the first time she saw so many people stunned, looking at the colorful streets, Xu Xiaowan danced happily, pulling Bai Tongchen to look at this, look at that, in fact, although the control of the mutual market is large and cumbersome, but after the empress delegated power to the governors of various continents, especially Beizhou is already desolate, the opening of the mutual market can bring huge capital inflow, which is a great good thing for the locality, so within the strict control, all parties of the mutual market supervisors are trying their best to make the mutual market more perfect, for example, now, the sun has just setOn the stage that was originally built, there were troupes specially invited by the mutual market supervisor to sing on stage and provide caravans from all over the country to drink and eat, and buyers to rest and entertain.
"Brother Gao, is this person also a master, you see him so high when he jumps!" Xu Xiaowan sat on Bai Tongchen's shoulder, although she couldn't understand what was being played in the play at all, she still watched it with relish.
Bai Tongchen said with a smile: "It should be a very powerful master." ”
"Brother Gao, there are a lot of masters like you here, and that sister over there also carries a beautiful sword. Xu Xiaowan pointed to a woman in the crowd not far from Bai Tongchen and said.
Bai Tongchen turned his head to look over, only to see a woman in a lilac dress, carrying a silver long sword, and there was an equally handsome man standing next to the woman, holding a string of glass beads that looked like a harvest in the market, looking high-spirited, and there were five attendants standing behind the two, which looked quite magnificent.
Bai Tongchen stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Xiaowan's little hand and said, "Xiaowan, when Brother Gao takes you to see your illness, he will also give you such a beautiful sword." ”
Xu Xiaowan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said excitedly: "Great! Brother Gao, I will also be a woman in the future!"
Seeing that the little girl was so happy, Bai Tongchen was happy in his heart, Xu Xiaowan put it down from her shoulder, took her hand, and said, "Let's go, Brother Gao will take you to other places to see if there is anything Xiao Wan likes." ”
In fact, not only Xu Xiaowan, Bai Tongchen also felt very wonderful, after all, now he may not know much more about this world than Xu Xiaowan, Xu Xiaowan pulled Bai Tongchen to walk left and right, Bai Tongchen is sometimes attracted by some novel small objects, and Xu Xiaowan lies in front of the stall to study together.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd not far away, the sound of horses' hooves came, and the pedestrians on the street scattered to dodge, Bai Tongchen turned his head to look, only to see three horses galloping in the downtown area, and when he passed in front of the stage, he suddenly strangled the horses, and the front hooves of the three big horses let out a long howl, and the leading man was wearing a fine silk gown, and he looked like a rich and noble child, and he did not get off the horse after stopping the horse, but whistled at the woman in purple and the handsome man just now, and shouted: " Miss Wang, Prince Wang, what a coincidence, I can meet you two here. ”
The woman in purple turned her head, and when she saw the man on the horse, she immediately turned her head and ignored it, but the handsome man called Wang Gongzi who was standing next to the purple man shouted: "Hu Changyan, you are really ghostly, chasing me and my sister here." ”
Hu Changyan, who was on the horse, said with a smile: "You think this mutual market is opened by your family, I just happened to come here to find some strange things, and it was my fate with Miss Wang to meet here, how can I say that I am a ghost?"
When Wang Gongzi heard this, he immediately said angrily: "My sister is also something that you can think of, and if you entangle my sister again, I will be unkind to you." ”
Hu Changyan smacked his tongue and said, "Tut-tut, brother-in-law, don't be angry, I'll accompany you, hahahaha." ”
"You!shameless!" The purple-clothed girl listened to Hu Changyan's nonsense, how could she have heard such words as a rich lady, and immediately blushed with shame and roared.
Bai Tongchen and Xu Xiaowan watched with relish not far away, the confrontation between the children of the rich family, Xu Xiaowan was small, but he was a little warmonger, as soon as he saw that the two sides were arguing as if he was about to make a move, he covered his mouth with his little hand and smiled, and said: "Brother Gao, if there is a fight in a while, you have to help that purple-clothed sister Wang." ”
Bai Tongchen pinched Xu Xiaowan's little face and said, "We are counting on finding a caravan to go to Nanzhou to find medicine for you, and we can't be in the limelight casually." ”
Xu Xiaowan pouted and said, "The man on the horse is annoying at first sight, no wonder that Sister Wang looks down on him." ”
