Walking into the Taoist temple with a bucket, Ma Xiaoyu was about to put the bucket in the place he had taken before, but Mao Bufan came out of the room and said:

"Wait, the water in the bucket is going to be poured into the water tank, see, the water tank next to the wall, just pour it in!"

Ma Xiaoyu turned his head to look at the water tank, he sighed helplessly, walked over with the bucket, and it took a lot of effort to pour the water in the bucket into the water tank, at this time, Ma Xiaoyu found that his body was all sweaty, his clothes were sticky to his body, sticky, and very uncomfortable, he missed the bathtub at home, if he could take a hot bath at this time, how comfortable it would be! And he felt that his body was about to fall apart, since he couldn't take a hot bath, he just wanted to go to sleep quickly.

"Ma Xiaoyu, give it, this is your bedding. ”

Mao Bufan hugged a quilt, handed it to Ma Xiaoyu, and then turned around and went back.

Ma Xiaoyu hugged the quilt and walked into his own low room, seeing that there was not even a bed in the room, but a thick layer of hay was spread on the ground, Ma Xiaoyu scolded Mao Bufan hundreds of times in his heart, and then helplessly spread the quilt on the hay.

After lying down, Ma Xiaoyu felt that it didn't matter who was where, the important thing was that he could finally rest!

It only took about a minute for Ma Xiaoyu to fall asleep.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Ma Xiaoyu got up, walked out of the room, and saw that Mao Bufan was already practicing in the courtyard.

Mao Bufan closed his eyes, tied his horse steps, and put his hands in fists on his waist, Ma Xiaoyu stepped forward to take a look, and found that there were already some beads of sweat between Mao Bufan's eyebrows, so he knew that he must have gotten up a long time ago!

"You wake up, go wash your face, and then we're going to town, wait a minute, you follow me, don't talk nonsense. ”

Mao Bufan pointed to the basin next to the water tank and said to Ma Xiaoyu!

Ma Xiaoyu walked to the water tank and took a casual look, but found that more than half of the water in the water tank was missing.

"Hey, Mao Bufan, why did I fetch so little less water yesterday?"

"Used. ”

Mao Bufan seemed to have guessed that Ma Xiaoyu would ask this, and as soon as he heard Ma Xiaoyu ask, he immediately replied!

"Why did you use it so fast, what did you do?"

"Why do you have so many questions, you can't wash it, don't wash it, let's leave now. ”

Ma Xiaoyu knew that if Mao Bufan didn't want to say it, even if he asked again, it would be useless, so he had to squat down and start washing his face.

After washing his face, Ma Xiaoyu saw Mao Bufan coming out of the room, holding the roasted sweet potatoes left over from yesterday's meal.

"Eat, it's breakfast. ”

Ma Xiaoyu turned out the sweet potatoes and found that the sweet potatoes had already been cold, and when he took a bite, he found that they were not as delicious as yesterday, although they were not delicious, but Ma Xiaoyu still ate them quickly, because he was so hungry!

After eating the sweet potato, Mao Bufan took Ma Xiaoyu to the town.

Ma Xiaoyu followed behind Mao Bufan, and felt that Mao Bufan turned around, ran through many alleys, and finally came to a small courtyard!

"Hey, what are we going to do?"

"Don't worry about it, you'll know later, remember, don't talk nonsense when you go in, let alone say that you are a member of the Ma family!"

"Che, looking at your mysterious appearance, I'm sure it's not a good person living here. ”

Mao Bufan didn't pay attention to Ma Xiaoyu, but stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

"Uncle Shi, are you there?"

There was no sound inside, but Mao Bufan stood honestly and didn't knock on the door again!

After a while, the door opened from the inside, and a young girl opened the door, and when she saw Mao Bufan, she said enthusiastically: "You are here, come on, come in, huh?

Mao Bufan pointed at Ma Xiaoyu and said, "Oh, sister, don't worry, this is my apprentice, bring him to meet my uncle and his old man today!"

"Alright then, come in too, be quiet, my father is practicing calligraphy!"

Ma Xiaoyu looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes lit up, this girl not only has long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, fair skin, but also has a super good voice, and she is taller than Mao Bufan, her body is big where it should be, and the most important thing is that this girl is also a member of the Mao family, because she just said that Mao Bufan's uncle is her father, so is it possible that my aunt asked me to marry her!

Ma Xiaoyu hurriedly went up to greet her.

"Hello, my name is Ma Xiaoyu, I don't know your name?"

The girl pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Hello, my name is He Shiyi." ”

When Ma Xiaoyu heard this name, her heart was cold, hey, it turned out that she was not from the Mao family.

He Shiyi saw the disappointed look on Ma Xiaoyu's face, so she asked curiously:

"What's wrong with you?

And before Ma Xiaoyu could answer, he heard Mao Bufan, who was walking in front, say:

"Shiyi, don't care about him, he's just a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"

He Shiyi was confused, she didn't know what these two people were talking about, so she simply didn't care, but walked a few steps quickly and came behind Mao Bufan.

"I heard my father say you're going out, where are you going?"

Mao Bufan smiled and said: "Yes, I want to go out and have a look, see if I can find some clues back then, I can't let the heirloom of the Mao family stay out like this!"

When He Shiyi heard Mao Bufan's words, her originally smiling face immediately became gloomy.

"Yes, such a big thing happened to the Mao family, my father has been extremely guilty all these years, and he always told me that if he didn't leave back then, wouldn't it be better. ”

"Shiyi, I know Uncle Shi's feelings, if Uncle Shi didn't leave back then, it is estimated that he would not be able to come back, fortunately, Uncle Shi came back, otherwise I would really be the only one left in the Mao family. ”

Ma Xiaoyu was listening in the back, he didn't know what the two people in front of him were talking about, so he had to follow quietly behind.

Walking through an arched courtyard gate, He Shiyi took the two to the backyard, and as soon as he entered the backyard, Ma Xiaoyu saw a table in the middle of the backyard, where an old man in his fifties was writing.

"Father, look who's coming!"

The old man raised his head, and when Ma Xiaoyu saw the old man's eyes, his whole body slammed into a spirit!

The old man's left eye did not look hollow without an eyeball, but his right eye was very bright, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate a person's heart and lungs.

"Bufan, why are you here, didn't you just come to see Uncle Shi a few days ago!"

Mao Bufan walked a few steps quickly, came to the old man, and then held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and clasped the ring finger with the thumb of his right hand, giving the old man a gesture!

"Uncle Shi, I'm here to do something today, stop by to see you, and then go buy some magic weapons and talismans, and then I'm going to go out and see if I can find some clues from the past. ”
