Ding Ding Ding...

The sound of the twelve tin rings hitting the Zen staff is far away.

The dervishe, smiling and shackled his feet, walked away.

Although he had a broken arm, the pain of the broken arm was terrible.

But no matter how painful it is,

How can it compare to the joy of receiving this epiphany?

Chaowen said, Xi can die.

"The Dharma is empty, the Bodhi is not moving, and the delusion is not born, so why is the mind uneasy?"

He chuckled, and when he was far away, he turned around again and bowed three times into the distance.

At the same time, he also had no desire to enter the house to see what the people in the house looked like.

Although, perceiving from the outside, the people in the room are really no different from ordinary people, without any power fluctuations.

But after listening to a scripture, how can you still not understand it when you are drunk by that person?

If the person in the house is a hermit, he will not venture into it or peep at it.

At this time, when it is the time of retreat, twenty years of red dust have been bustling, and it is time to draw an end.

......

Autumn rain,

The cold wind blew through the streets and alleys, through the thousands of windows, making sounds like whimpering or hissing.

It's just a small town, a town on the edge of a country.

In this town, there are five-rank martial artists who have just cultivated their true qi, and they can already serve as the position of the great patrol, or become the commander of a hundred and ten people, guarding the town and defending against bandits.

It's just that the bandits are haunted, and there are even thieves who come from other countries from time to time.

If the thieves are ferocious, it is very likely to bring unpredictable consequences, even if they are slaughtered the town and destroy the village.

However, all countries have a very tacit understanding in the aspect of "catching thieves and catching thieves", and they will also share information with each other, so that there is rarely a situation where "the big thief is coming, but there is no corresponding strong person to arrest it".

As for those who are named "Kou", they are usually the "generals" or "kings" among the thieves, and generally as long as the "Kou" comes, all countries will send masters to block or jointly besiege.

After all, patrolling is limited, but there are many warriors on the rivers and lakes or among the people, so local governments have the power to delegate tasks.

These tasks are generally exploration, reconnaissance, or cooperation and assistance.

As for the honorarium, there is a base, and then it is increased or reduced according to the effect.

This method of "delegating tasks" can be carried out in addition to the government, major forces, and even private individuals.

It's just that if a private person wants to issue a mission, he needs the government, or a big power, or a famous person to guarantee it.

What Miao Miao did was to get a reward by assisting the government in apprehending the thieves.

And this is obviously a dangerous thing to do, because... Since you have taken the money from the government, you have to behave, otherwise you will always cringe, and the government will not want you to take the task next time.

Syllable~~~

In the rain, there was a soft sound of the wooden fence opening, then closing.

Immediately afterward, a dark shadow quickly walked across the courtyard and came to the eaves that only protruded three or four inches.

shook off the rain from his body, and then hung the hat and gray rainproof cloak on the old yellow wooden wall,

Then he did not enter the house, but sat down in front of the threshold, took off his two boots with his left hand, poured all the rain out of the boots, and shook them again before putting them back on.

The figure's right hand always held the hilt of the sword at her waist, and no matter what she did, her right hand could always draw the sword as quickly as she could.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the door and said, "I'm back." ”

The house was dark and there were no candles.

But she's used to it, doesn't she need money to buy candles?

What candles do you usually light when you have nothing to do?

Unless she has obtained some important information or exercises, she will be impatient to light a candle and look at it for a while at night, after all, she always has to go out during the day.

Tasks are never done all at once.

And the government also tends to hire stable civilian warriors to do things, so the tasks are one after another, and they are rarely terminated.

In a way, she's the equivalent of an unorganized patrol.

However, she soon saw the light in the corner.

Xia Ji was squatting by the small stove to boil water.

He threw wood into the iron stove, and the kettle on the stove had begun to make a "coo-to-goo" sound like a fish spitting bubbles.

A gentle voice came:

"You're soaking wet, take a shower. ”

Miaomiao smiled, but she only smiled, she was indeed happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw her only relative, but she was so tired that she was not only unwilling to speak, but also unwilling to laugh.

There was a terrifying chill around her, especially when she caught the sword, the chill was even worse, and people could understand at a glance that she was the master who had killed many people, and it was not easy to mess with.

But this winter-like chill entered this house, like a sharp knife into a sheath, and it was much more restrained.

The sound of rustling sounded in the darkness.

Miao Miao carefully took out two baked cakes from her arms, and a fist-sized oiled paper bag, put them on the table, and said, "The bread and meat are cold, leave some hot water, don't pour them into the barrel." ”

Xia Ji responded.

Miao Miao sat on the left side of the only handmade wooden bench, opened the oiled paper bag, revealing some of the meat inside, and suddenly the faint smell of meat spread.

She swallowed, but did not move, but took the upside-down porcelain bowl, and put a salt cube in each of them, almost "stingy", and in the bowl on the right, the salt cube was obviously larger.

Then, pour some more sesame oil.

By this time, the water had been thoroughly boiled.

Xia Ji carried the water, poured the boiling water into the bowl, washed away the salt cubes and oil flowers, then put the kettle aside, sat on the right side of the bench, and urged: "Hurry up and eat, go to the bath after eating, even if you are a martial arts practitioner, you will freeze." ”

Miao Miao just said "um", then took a baked cake and ate it quickly.

While eating, she pushed the oil paper package towards Xia Ji, "This meat is considered a trophy for celebration, I usually want to buy a little, it's precious." You eat it. ”

Xia Ji looked at the girl on his left by the faint light, and vaguely, he could recognize that this girl was the appearance of Lu Miaomiao in his previous life.

Merely...

In this life, her name is Su Yuan, and her name is Su Mo.

When he knew this, he suddenly understood why the nine-tailed fox wanted to establish the "Su" family instead of other families.

She misses herself.

Xia Ji was stunned, Miaomiao had already eaten, and then quickly ran to the small cubicle in the west with the kettle, and then scooped some cold water from the water tank outside the door and poured it into the wooden bucket, and then began to heat the water.

Before long, the curtain was closed.

There was the sound of undressing in the darkness.

The water ripples, and if the fish enter the water, there is a crisp sound of breaking water, followed by the sound of "whooshing".

It was the girl behind the curtain who was wiping her body with hot water.

Xia Ji suddenly said: "Sister, let's move, we still need to change our names after moving, and we can't call Su Yuan and Su Mo anymore." ”

"Huh?"

A voice of doubt came.

Xia Ji said: "We have a big enemy, we know our name, and we also know where we live, if we don't leave now, something will inevitably happen." ”

"You mean the royal family of the Red Wind Country?"

The Red Wind Country is a small kingdom that destroyed the country where the sister and brother are located, but a long time has passed, and the Red Wind Country has no intention of pursuing the sister and brother at all.

After all, in these years, there are many countries, and it is common to change dynasties, and there are even countries that only exist for a month or two before they will perish.

Xia Ji said: "It's not the Red Wind Country. ”

"Is there a letter from a thief threatening us?"

"Not really. ”

"What's that?"
