Chapter 181: If Life Is Only as First Seen (Part I)

Six years ago -

Although the East Pole Domain has powerful super forces such as the East Pole Sect and the Xuanyang Gate, it has always been only a huge area, and has not formed a unified country, on the contrary, the East Pole Domain is almost formed by one large or smaller, independent of each other. And under these cities, there are some villages or private estates, and Loujiazhuang, located in the southeast of the East Pole Domain, is such a place.

Loujiazhuang was originally a private manor, the old owner was a good man, this matter is known to most of the people in the nearby villages, although he has a lot of money but is willing to give, often use his own money to help the surrounding neighbors, and even more distant poor villages are also favored by him. Most of the people who have received the favor of the old owner will come to the village in person, to do things for the village to show their gratitude to the old owner, gradually, with the increase in the number of people, the scale of the Loujiazhuang is getting bigger and bigger, although it is still a private estate in name, but its real scale can already be compared to a small town.

On this day, Loujiazhuang has a new guest-

A dusty man in the prime of life came to Loujiazhuang, seemingly from a far, far away, but the things he carried with him were pitiful, just a simple package, a somewhat old wine gourd, and a sword. He was accompanied by a boy who looked to be about ten years old, and followed behind him with some fear. After the introduction of the next person, the middle-aged man soon saw the old owner of the house, as soon as he entered the door, the middle-aged man hung the wine gourd in his hand on his waist, and saluted very respectfully:

"The old owner of the building, Cao is polite. ”

"Where Mr. Cao is, Mr. Cao can come to the humble house, it's really brilliant. Seeing Cao Wuming's solemn salute, the old owner hurriedly helped Cao Wuming up, said politely, and then glanced at the child behind Cao Wuming, this baby is only about ten years old, but he is so handsome, with a beautiful face, and the corners of his childish eyes seem to be able to hold the entire starry sky. Seeing this child, the old farmer asked with some doubts:

"Mr. Cao, who is this young man?"

"This is my nephew, Yi Han, don't you want to see the old owner of Lou?"

Hearing Cao Wuming's shout, Xiao Yihan took a step forward sensibly, and saluted respectfully:

"The younger generation Xiao Yihan has seen the old owner of the building. ”

"Good boy, what a young man. Seeing Xiao Yihan so polite, the old owner couldn't help but feel happy for a while, although he was old and frail, and he didn't cultivate battle qi, but his kung fu was not bad at looking at people, he felt the innate temperament of Xiao Yihan at a glance, and he would definitely not be in the pool in the future. Hearing the old owner's appreciation, Cao Wuming also smiled slightly, then lowered his head and said softly to Xiao Yihan:

"Yi Han, I'll talk to Lao Zhuang about something, you can go to the courtyard to play first. ”

Xiao Yihan understood the meaning of Cao Wuming's words, nodded sensibly, and went to play alone in the courtyard outside the door, although Loujiazhuang is a small town in the vicinity, but the old owner himself is a thrifty person, and this small courtyard where he lives alone is not very big, for a child of Xiao Yihan's age, there is nothing new just to walk a few laps. Feeling a little bored, he simply pulled out the wooden sword at his waist and began to swing it according to the sword moves that Cao Wuming had taught him.

It was at this time that Xiao Yihan felt that there was a gaze watching him, but he didn't pay attention to it, but continued to wave the wooden sword in his hand - splitting, chopping, collapsing, teasing, checking, washing, poking, Thorn, these basic swordsmanship has been repeated and trained many times in Xiao Yihan's hands, it can be said that he is extremely proficient, after wielding the sword move again, Xiao Yihan stopped, put the sword into the sheath, and looked towards the place where the gaze came just now, behind the huge mahogany pillar, there was a figure that looked very thin and thin, and when he saw Xiao Yihan's gaze looking this way, he subconsciously hid behind the pillar.

"Don't hide, I see you. ”

Xiao Yihan was also curious, and ran over quickly as he spoke, his speed was faster than the person behind the pillar had imagined, and before he could react, Xiao Yihan had already appeared in front of the thin figure, and when he looked closely, the person hiding behind the pillar was a girl of his age, maybe even younger. The body is thin, the face is a little pale, but the facial features are very delicate, a sick beauty's embryo, although it is still young and has not been fully opened, but now it can already be seen. Dressed in an ice-blue robe, the whole person looks like a hibiscus that has just come out of the water, natural and pure without any modification, especially her pure and clear eyes, as if they are a mountain stream, which naturally gives people an urge to be pity.

Looking at these clear eyes, Xiao Yihan was a little stunned, because he had been wandering around with Cao Wuming for a long time, he rarely had friends to play with, let alone girls of the same age, and the first time he saw such a good-looking girl and such good-looking eyes, Xiao Yihan couldn't help but blush, and said a little hesitantly:

"You..... Why are you peeking at me practicing swords......"

Hearing Xiao Yihan's initiative, the girl's originally pale and weak face actually flashed a hint of ruddy, and then she lowered her head deeply, and wanted to leave here when she turned around. Seeing that the girl wanted to leave, Xiao Yihan said a little anxiously:

"Don't go...... I'll teach you, how?"

Hearing Xiao Yihan's words, the girl couldn't help but stop her steps, and then slowly turned her head and asked a little shyly:

"Is that okay?"

"Of course you can, although my swordsmanship is not as powerful as Uncle Wuming, but my swordsmanship was taught to me by him, he is a very powerful swordsman, come on, I will teach you, I will teach you." The girl's question seemed to Xiao Yihan to be a complete answer, he pulled the girl to the center of the courtyard with an excited face, handed the wooden sword at his waist to her hand, and then held the girl's body with one hand, grabbed her wrist with the other hand, and began to follow the tricks taught to him by Cao Wuming, pretending to practice with the girl as if he was drawing a scoop with a gourd.

The girl was a little resistant at first, but she still moved with Xiao Yihan - splitting, chopping, collapsing, flirting, checking, washing, poking, stabbing, these simple basic sword moves looked a little funny at first, but as time went by, the movements of the two gradually became smoother, and this seemingly dull textbook-like swordsmanship gradually had a pas de deux beauty under the connection between the two - and at this moment it was the setting sun, When the sky was getting late, the rest of the light shot on this small courtyard, just imprinted on the tip of the small wooden sword, with the dance of the wooden sword and swiped around in the air, the wooden sword quickly slashed, the afterglow of the tip of the sword was like a flowing fire in the air, graceful and beautiful.

It wasn't until the end of another set of basic swordsmanship that Xiao Yihan let go of the two hands holding the girl, and the girl at this moment had already blushed in Xiao Yihan's arms, she lowered her head a little shyly, and at this time Xiao Yihan took off the sword in her hand, and said softly while putting the sword into the sheath:

"My name is Xiao Yihan, what's your name?"

"My name is ...... Lou Yuqing. ”
