Chapter 5: The Star Girl

Tu Shanyue, who was white-bearded, looked back.

A beautiful face comes into view.

Tu Shanyue, who was almost pushed by the shopkeeper, was helped up by a girl.

The girl's eyebrows were clear, her figure was slender, and her eyes were clear and bright, like stars in the night sky.

Tu Shanyue was stunned for a while.

"Are you alright, old man?" the woman asked softly.

Tu Shanyue came back to her senses and coughed, "No, it's okay!"

The woman found that the white-bearded grandfather's expression was stunned just now, thinking that he was frightened, so she reasoned with the shopkeeper.

"Little second brother, why are you pushing this grandfather? They are also hungry, give them some food. ”

As she spoke, the girl took off her purse, took out a few copper plates, and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and refused, "Miss Xing'er, how can I ask for your money, it's no problem to give these two Huazi a few steamed buns, but they can't go in, so as not to bump into the distinguished guests inside." ”

Ah Guan got angry, "Who do you say is Hanako?! We not only have to go in to eat, but also stay in the hotel!"

The shopkeeper smiled contemptuously, "I want to eat in our restaurant too, and you still want to live in the hotel?

Ah Guan angrily wanted to hit someone, but was secretly stopped by Tu Shanyue.

The woman named "Xing'er" took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Little second brother, I will pay for the meal of this grandfather and grandson, you let them go in and eat something." ”

"Miss Xing'er, it's really not a matter of money. The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "Today, the store is full of demon exorcism mages invited from all over the town, more than a dozen people, and the guest rooms are full." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at Tu Shanyue and Ah Guan, who were dressed as beggars, again, "If I let these two Hanako in, the shopkeeper will deduct my salary." ”

"Demon exorcist mage?!" Miss Xing'er asked in surprise, "Who are the people who really invited them?"

"They are all monks, Taoist priests, and some immortal cultivators, who look very powerful. The shopkeeper explained in a low voice, "Taoyuan Valley is making monsters now, these exorcism mages are all invited by the victim's family, they are distinguished guests, and they can't collide." ”

Xing'er girl looked into the lobby of the restaurant, and sure enough, there were some monks and Taoists sitting, and some strangely dressed people.

After weighing the severity of the matter, the Xing'er girl turned to the white-bearded Tu Shanyue and said, "Grandpa, seeing that you are not a local, where are you going?"

"I'm from the East, and I've traveled with my grandchildren, and I'm just passing through here today. ”

"Traveling in the mountains and rivers?!" Xing'er was amazed for a moment, the grandfather and grandson looked like they had eaten this meal without a meal, sleeping in the open air, and were they still in the mood to travel through the mountains and rivers?

Xing'er suppressed the doubts in her heart, and said softly to the white-bearded Tu Shanyue: "Grandpa, my family lives next to the bamboo forest in the west of Qinghe Town, and the 'Li Medical Pavilion' is my home, and the home is quite spacious, if you don't dislike it, you can come and live." ”

Since leaving Qingqiu, it was the first time that Tu Shanyue had encountered someone who took the initiative to invite.

Tu Shanyue was very happy.

"Thank you, Miss Xing'er, then bother. The white-bearded Tu Shanyue nodded in agreement.

——

Walking west along the bank of the Qing River, a mile away, is a bamboo forest.

On the edge of the bamboo forest, there are several houses built of green bamboo.

There are several begonia trees planted in the yard in front of the house, and the fruits of the trees are not yet ripe and green.

Before she got close to the bamboo house, Xing'er shouted, "Father, mother, I brought two guests back." ”

Tu Shanyue and Ah Guan, who were dressed in ragged white beards, followed behind Xing'er, and saw from a distance that there was a simple plaque on the fence gate outside the bamboo house, on which "Li's Medical Center" was written in black ink.

The medical hall is very basic, but it is also warm and clean.

Xing'er pushed the door into the bamboo courtyard.

A woman in her forties came out of the house, saw an old man and a young man behind Xing'er, and asked, "Xing'er, who are they?"

"Mother, I met them outside the Fulai Restaurant in the town, they have no place to live, and they have no money, so I brought them back. ”

Xing'er said lightly, as if such things often happen.

Xing'er Niang was not surprised, and greeted the old and the young with a smile, "I'll go add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and then clean up the east wing." ”

Xing'er Niang went to take care of herself.

Another man in his fifties, carrying a basket of dried herbs, limped out of the bamboo hut on the side of the courtyard.

"Dad!" Xing'er greeted him and took the herbs from the man's hand, "I'll do these jobs, your foot injury is not healed, you can't move." ”

The man smiled kindly, "I'm a doctor, I know my injuries, it's just a sprain, it's almost healing, I want to move." ”

Xing'er helped her father sit on the bamboo bench next to the stone table under the begonia tree in the courtyard, and she began to work with the herbs.

While Xing'er was putting the herbs away, she said to Tu Shanyue and Ah Guan, who were still standing in the courtyard, "Grandpa, you are free, just treat this place as your own home." ”

Xing'er's father also saw the old and the young, and immediately got up from the stool and beckoned, "Come on, come and drink tea." ”

Tu Shanyue walked in front of Xing'er's father, although he looked like an old man, Tu Shanyue's every move was elegant, not like a flower at all.

Xing'er's father pushed the refreshments on the stone table under the begonia tree in front of Ah Guan.

Ah Guan is now a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, and he is dirty.

Xing'er's father looked at Ah Guan's appearance, and was a little distressed, "At such a young age, I must have suffered a lot, it doesn't matter, in Daddy Li's place, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing." ”

Tu Shanyue thanked him.

Ah Guan pouted and muttered, "I want to take a bath!"

Xing'er's father smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, take a shower first, and when you're done, it's just time for dinner." ”

Xing'er Niang had already cleaned up the east wing, Xing'er brought a big bath bucket, boiled hot water, and quickly prepared things for bathing.

Xing'er also took a set of clothes for her father and younger brother to replace Tu Shanyue and Ah Guan.

——

Inside the East Wing, the fog was shrouded.

Tu Shanyue stood beside the bathtub prepared by Xing'er, and she had changed back to her original appearance.

Black hair is like a waterfall, and white clothes are better than snow.

Ah Guan slapped the water in the tub and splashed a few splashes.

"Childe, do you really want to live here?"

"Well, I love it here, it makes me feel warm here. Tu Shanyue smiled.

Ah Guan didn't understand, "It's warm? The climate here isn't as warm as Qingqiu." ”

"It's not the climate, it's the people here who make me feel warm. ”

"Do you like Miss Xing'er?!" Ah Guan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Tu Shanyue's expression froze slightly, and she shook her head, "I can't say I like it, I just feel warm." ”

Ah Guan breathed a sigh of relief, "You can't like a mortal woman, the patriarch will definitely not agree." ”

Tu Shanyue knocked on Ah Guan's head, "Where do you want to go!"

Ah Guan touched his head that was knocked out, and said aggrievedly: "I see that Gongzi has never looked at a woman directly, but this time he followed Miss Xing'er home, so I thought too much." ”

Ah Guan jumped into the bathtub and said while washing: "Childe's mana is strong, there is no need to take a bath, I can't, the human form conjured by the spell can only last for twelve hours, Childe, where will we go after we leave here tomorrow?"

"No, we're going to stay here for a while. ”

Tu Shanyue sat on the bamboo chair behind the screen, looked at the orchids placed in front of the window, and said lightly.

"Why? We're traveling, and there's a lot of scenery to see, so why do we want to live here?"

The shrub bird didn't understand the sudden decision of Moon Gongzi to stay.

"There is a demon here, I want to help Xing'er get rid of the demon. ”
