Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 25 Parting
Outside a house in Mud Bottle Lane, there was a naughty child with slugs, who was violently kicking the door, scolding, and spitting, "Chen Ping'an! If you don't get out again, I'll find someone to hack you to death and smash all the rags in your house! I know what are you busy with at home, are you talking to Song Jixin's little daughter-in-law, what are you doing with Zhigui? In broad daylight, I don't know how to take care of Song Jixin's feelings? Okay, okay, if you don't come out, right, I'm leaving, I'm really leaving? As soon as I leave, you will want to see me in this life, my treasures, I originally thought that they would be left to you, Chen Ping'an!
For some reason, at the end of the scolding, the child actually sucked the two slugs back to the nest with a little crying.
Gu Cang suddenly felt a pain in his head, and quickly turned around to look, and after seeing the familiar face, the child scolded: "Chen Ping'......an!
The straw sandals boy's face was not very good-looking, and Gu Cang hurriedly added when he saw the wind, "Are you okay?"
The clouds are smooth, the turning point is satisfactory, and there is no bluntness.
Chen Ping'an, who was accustomed to the heartlessness of this rabbit cub and carrying a new clay pot, said angrily: "Okay, you don't know yet?"
Gu Cang realized that he still had something to do, so he quickly pulled Chen Ping'an to the gate of the courtyard, and then stuffed two beautifully embroidered bags into Chen Ping'an's hands, and the child lowered his voice and asked, "Do you remember the little loach I asked you for last year?"
Chen Ping'an was confused, holding a heavy bag, things were not strangers, the brocade boy who forcibly bought the golden carp at that time gave a bag of copper coins to himself afterwards. Chen Ping'an looked around, there were no pedestrians at both ends of the mud bottle lane, but he still hurriedly opened the door, took Gu Cang into the courtyard, put the clay pot aside, and asked bluntly: "There are strangers who buy that loach with you, right?!" Gu Cang, I advise you not to sell it! Don't sell it even if you are killed, don't you want to let your mother live a good life in the future, you must keep that loach, do you know?!"
Gu Cangwa burst into tears, grabbed Chen Ping'an's sleeve with both hands, and choked up: "I want to return the loach to you, but my mother didn't let me, and slapped me, my mother has never beaten me since I was a child, and the storyteller, I don't know if it's a fairy or a ghost, it's scary, first he took me to the white bowl, and then the loach suddenly became very big and big, much thicker than my big water tank......
Chen Ping'an covered the child's mouth, glared at him with a serious face, and said: "The loach is given to you, it's yours!" Gu Cang, do you still want to let your mother live a good life in the future? Can you eat meat every day, let your mother use rouge gouache, and buy that kind of satin clothes that are slippery to the touch?"
Gu Cang sniffled and nodded vigorously.
Chen Ping'an let go of his hand, squatted down, and asked, "What's the matter with the two bags of money, did you steal it?"
Gu Cang's eyes rolled, he just wanted to deceive people, Chen Ping'an's relationship with him was really familiar, the little bastard pouted his ass and knew what kind of shit he had, and directly rewarded Gu Cang with a chestnut, and said sharply: "Take it back!"
Gu Cang's temper also came up, "No!"
Chen Ping'an's face was so angry that he raised his hand to ask for a genuine chestnut, but seeing the child's stubborn expression, Chen Ping'an was a little soft-hearted, eased his tone, thought about it, and asked, "What the hell is going on, you tell me." ”
Gu Cang told the matter as it was, not denying that this child usually makes people hate itchy, but he is indeed very smart and precocious, from the old locust tree to the iron lock well, and then to the yard of Mud Bottle Lane, he explained to Chen Ping'an clearly the adventure of the storyteller who wanted to take him as an apprentice. Chen Ping'an had a rough idea at this moment, Gu Cang was probably one of the people in the town who got the ancestral shade of the locust leaves, whether it was green smoke from the ancestral tomb, as Mr. Qi and Lu Daochang said, Gu Cang should be taken away from the town by the storyteller. But as soon as he thought of Liu Zhimao, the true monarch of the Intercepted River, Chen Ping'an's heartstrings tightened, according to Mr. Qi, this person's character is really inferior, and he wants to get rid of himself quickly, and he does not hesitate to use the magic power of the immortal family to frame himself and Cai Jinjian, Gu Cang recognized this person as a master, is it really a good thing? But take a step back and say, this person is willing to accept Gu Cang as a disciple, instead of being cheated and abducted, or forced to buy and sell, does it mean that Gu Cang will not have to worry about his life for the time being?
The ghostly child's eyes rolled sharply, and while Chen Ping'an was thinking about the problem, he coldly grabbed the two money bags in Chen Ping'an's hands, smashed them into the house at once, and then turned around and ran.
As a result, Chen Ping'an grabbed the back collar and pulled it back to the same place.
Gu Cang held his head in his hands, looking pitiful.
Although Chen Ping'an forcibly dragged the child back, he hesitated about how to deal with it, the things involved were too big, Chen Ping'an was afraid of making the wrong choice, causing Gu Cang and his mother to be affected.
If it's just his own business, this helpless straw sandals boy will probably be much more neat.
The girl in black didn't know when she got out of bed and stood behind the threshold, "My mother once said that everyone has their own fate, and this child looks like the kind of person who has been plagued for thousands of years, and there will be no shortage of shit luck in the future." ”
Gu Cang's eyes lit up, and he quickly wiped off the two snot, grinned, revealing the appearance of missing teeth, and said with a flattering smile: "Sister, you are so handsome, you look exactly like my second sister!
Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "When did your mother remarry your father?"
After being exposed, the child immediately rolled his eyes, changed his face and tone, and said: "Chen Ping'an, it's okay, when did you kidnap a mother-in-law to go home......?
Chen Ping'an slapped Gu Cang's head and apologized to the girl in black: "He's like this, don't be angry." ”
The girl glanced at the child, "Bear-like!"
Gu Cang was about to exert his family heirloom skills, when he noticed the palm on his head, he quietly increased his strength, and immediately became ill, and said weakly: "Sister, you look so smart, you are right to say anything." ”
The girl in black ignored the child, turned her head to look at Chen Ping'an, and said with deep meaning: "Those two bags of copper coins, you'd better accept them, so as to save them from turning against each other in the future." Moreover, once this kid succeeds in cultivating in the future, if you don't let him feel less guilty today, it is very likely that his Dao heart will be unstable, causing the Externalized Heavenly Demon to take advantage of the gap. ”
Gu Cang loved to listen to this, and stretched out his thumb to that sister, "The hair is long, and the knowledge is also long, it is really more reliable than a little girl next door!"
The girl in black raised her eyebrows, but she accepted it gladly.
In the distance of Mud Bottle Alley, a fiery roar sounded, "Gu Cang!"
The child's face turned slightly pale, "Let's go, Chen Ping'an, I'm leaving!"
said that he was leaving, but in fact, the child himself didn't realize that he grabbed Chen Ping'an's five fingers harder and harder.
may be subconsciously, Gu Cang has long regarded Chen Ping'an as the only relative besides his mother.
Chen Ping'an walked out of the yard with the child, squatted down, and whispered: "Gu Cang, remember to be careful of your master." Also, take care of your mother-in-law, a manly husband, your mother-in-law can only rely on you in the future, don't always let her worry. ”
Gu Cang snorted.
Chen Ping'an said again: "When you go outside, do more things and talk less, control your mouth, suffer some losses, don't always think about getting back the cheap, people outside, unlike us, will be very resentful." ”
The child's eyes were red, and he said in the opposite tone: "The people on our side are also very resentful, but you are not." ”
Chen Ping'an couldn't cry or laugh, and was speechless for a while.
Chen Ping'an woke up suddenly, and asked in a deep voice, "Gu Cang, have you gotten a locust leaf?"
If not, Chen Ping'an didn't think that Gu Cang had the opportunity of the immortal family, maybe the arrival of Mr. Storyteller would be a talisman.
As soon as the child heard this, he became angry, took out a handful from his pocket, and habitually scolded his mother: "I don't know which bastard who has been cut a thousand knives secretly stuffed so many broken leaves into my pocket, and I also found out when I sneaked out of the house just now, hiding those two bags of money, it is not Zhao Xiaopang, or Liu Mei's girl! If I see it when I wash my mother's clothes, I will have to scold me for not worrying! I have to leave, otherwise I won't secretly throw stones into their pits......"
The child scolded vigorously, Chen Ping'an was stunned at first, and then relieved, seeing that this guy was going to throw it to the ground, he quickly stopped the child's move, and said with a very solemn expression: "Gu Cang, put them away! ”
The child was dazed, but still nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Chen Ping'an exhaled a long breath and said to himself: "Now I am really relieved." ”
Gu Cang suddenly leaned forward, knocked Chen Ping'an's head with his head, and whimpered, "I'm sorry!"
Chen Ping'an rubbed his little head and scolded with a smile: "Stupid!"
Gu Cang suddenly whispered in his ear.
Chen Ping'an was stunned on the spot.
The child turned around and ran away, jogging, while turning his head and waving his hand, "I heard the old man say, you want to take me and my mother to a place called Shujian Lake Qingxia Island, if you can't afford to marry your daughter-in-law in the future, go to me, it's not me bragging, the stinky woman next door with this posture of Zhigui, I will send you seventeen or eighteen as soon as I send it!"
Chen Ping'an stood in place and nodded.
It's also a little sad.
After all, Gu Cang is like his younger brother, so Chen Ping'an is willing to let Gu Cang do anything.
The straw sandals boy looked at the figure of the child gradually moving away, and was stunned.
His life is always like this, and the people he really cares about can't seem to be retained.
The boy in Mud Bottle Alley grinned.
God is stingy.
The door of the courtyard next door opened gently, and out came the maidservant Zhigui, who was slim and elegant, like a lotus flower in a pond.
Chen Ping'an asked, "Did you hear Gu Cang say bad things about you before?"
She blinked her long autumn eyes and said, "Just don't hear it, anyway, I can't win the two of them in a quarrel." ”
Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed, so he had to help Gu Cang's rabbit cub say good things, and said: "Actually, he doesn't have a bad heart, but he speaks a little ugly." ”
Zhigui pulled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, "Gu Cang's heart is good or bad, I don't know, her widow is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I'm sure." ”
Chen Ping'an didn't know how to answer, so he had to learn from her and pretend not to hear anything.
She suddenly asked an inexplicable question, "Chen Ping'an, do you really regret it?"
Chen Ping'an was stunned, "What?"
Seeing that he didn't look like he was pretending to be stupid, she sighed, turned back to the courtyard, and closed the wooden door.
Chen Ping'an, who has excellent eyesight, has been standing in the alley, and finally saw the door of Gu Cang's courtyard open in the distance, and three people walked out, among which the mother and son each carried large and small bags, and slowly walked to the other end of Mud Bottle Alley.
Chen Ping'an even clearly saw that the storyteller turned his head and glanced at himself, smiling playfully.
After the figures of the three disappeared at the end of the alley, Chen Ping'an returned to his courtyard and saw that the girl in black was already able to sit on the threshold by herself.
Is her body made of iron?
Chen Ping'an first put the hosta given by Mr. Qi and the two bags of copper coins brought by Gu Cang on the table, and then began to boil water, grab medicine, and decoct medicine.
The girl in black was a little puzzled, but she didn't ask, bored, she got up and came to the table, thought about it, and took out the money bag that Chen Ping'an hid in the belly of a bottle.
After she sat down, there were three bags of money and a hosta on the table, and of course, a spiritual sword that was "cowering" in the corner.
Chen Ping'an didn't stop her from taking the money, but turned his head and said, "The hosta was given to me by Mr. Qi, Miss Ning, be careful." ”
Probably because he was afraid that the girl would not care, Chen Ping'an reminded again: "You really have to be careful." ”
The girl rolled her eyes.
Three bags of gold and copper coins, spring money, offering money, and winning money, very coincidentally, just got together.
The girl held her cheeks in one hand, stretched out her fingers with the other, and fiddled with three copper coins, and asked casually, "How is your matter?"
Chen Ping'an squatted at the base of the wall on the other side of the window, staring at the fire carefully, looking through the three prescriptions from time to time, and after hearing the question, "Is it appropriate to say?"
The girl frowned and said: "You have been mixed into such a miserable field, and you are worried that after I hear the secret, who will kill you?" Chen Ping'an, it's not me who said you, it's really a rotten good person like you, I advise you not to leave the town for the rest of your life, otherwise you don't know how to die." ”
The girl was very sad about her misfortune and angry with her.
This kind of old-fashioned young man, even if he is a powerful sword immortal with both the golden body of an arhat and the Dao technique of the Heavenly Monarch, as long as he is thrown to her hometown, he will definitely die within a year, and there will be no bones left.
The straw sandals boy said happily: "Then I'll tell you about it?"
The girl pressed the three copper coins with three fingers and wiped them on the table, "Love to say or not." ”
Chen Ping'an told the girl what happened before Mr. Qi appeared, and said something selectively about the things after that.
After the girl listened, Yun said lightly: "That Jiang Zhenjun Liu Zhimao is obviously the culprit, but Cai Jinjian and Fu Nanhua are not good birds, if it weren't for Mr. Qi to come out and make paste, even if you escape to the ends of the earth in the future, you won't be able to escape the encirclement and killing of the tripartite forces, to put it mildly, it's really easy to kill you, if it's not in a small town, let alone Liu Zhimao, it's the woman from Yunxia Mountain, one finger can crush you to the point of being scattered." ”
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "I know." ”
The girl huffed and said, "You know a fart!"
Chen Ping'an did not refute and continued to decoction.
She asked, "Why didn't you tell that child the truth because of that loach?" she asked.
Chen Ping'an was not silent this time, nor did he turn his head, sat on the small bench, looked down at the blue-red flames, and said softly: "This is not right. ”
The girl wanted to speak and stopped, and finally looked at the thin back, and said with emotion: "Then do you know that if your fists are not hard, no one will care about your right or wrong." ”
The young man shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if others listen to it or not, the truth is the truth." ”
He seemed a little unsure, so he turned his head and smiled and asked, "Right?"
The girl glared angrily, "You big-headed ghost!"
The boy turned his head again and continued to boil the medicine.
The girl in black, a foreign girl named Ning Yao, picked up the jasper hairpin, looked intently, and found that there was a line of small characters engraved on the seal.
She glanced at the young man named Chen Ping'an.
There are eight characters on the hairpin, and even a girl who is only rough and inky also thinks it is extremely moving.
Words and thoughts are gentlemen, and they are as warm as jade.
