The next day, Lin Mu dressed up newly, and under the sigh of a beautiful young man in the turbid world, he felt good and went out.

The street is still lively, Lin Mu is in a good mood, and he easily mixes up the position of catching the head, avoiding the dilemma of being unfamiliar with the life of the human race, as long as he escapes before the main owner appears.

As for cultivation, Lin Mu doesn't seek to improve now, he only needs to consolidate step by step, he is a wood demon, and he has a long lifespan, as long as the foundation is solid, the breakthrough is a matter of course.

"Get out of the way!" a shout came from not far behind him, but he saw a burst of chickens and dogs jumping on the street, and pedestrians rushed to the side of the road to avoid it.

Lin Mu looked back, but saw a fiery red horse galloping forward, with four hooves churning and a long mane flying, very godlike.

A five- or six-year-old child was knocked to the ground, looking at the trampled sugar gourd on the ground, he forgot to dodge, and cried.

"Child!" Seeing the horse getting nearer, a woman suddenly threw herself down in front of the child and took the child in her arms.

Lin Mu's eyes flashed, and he reached the woman in a few steps, and his powerful momentum was immediately relented.

The horse was disturbed and stopped castration, and the jolt almost knocked his master down.

The man on horseback immediately shouted angrily, "Where did you come from, untouchables, dare to stop Miss Ben's horse in the way!" and then a whip was swung down.

Lin Mu dodged sideways, and then he saw that the person sitting on the horse was a beautiful girl, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but the appearance of flowers and moons was on par with the butterfly fairy, but the butterfly fairy was cold, and this girl was delicate.

Lin Mu helped the woman to the side of the road, and the woman left with a thousand thanks, and immediately the girl was cold-eyed throughout the whole process, without saying anything, Lin Mu couldn't help but say: "There are many pedestrians on the street, what should you do if you gallop and hurt people?"

The girl snorted and said disdainfully: "Miss Ben is very good at riding, if it wasn't for you just now, I would have jumped over a long time ago...... Besides, even if you get hurt, it's a big deal to lose some money, my Shen family has money!"

"It's not a question of money or not, it's your ......" Lin Mu wanted to say something.

"Get out of here!" Miss Ben doesn't have time to talk to you!" interrupted the girl.

"What if I don't roll?" Lin Mu said with a slight narrowing of his eyes.

"Don't get out, then hit you until you roll!" The girl's whip rained down, and the whip flowers shook in the air, looking at this posture, it was obvious that she had practiced.

But what kind of cultivation did Lin Mu do, he naturally didn't pay attention to it, and easily flashed over.

"You dare to hide!" the girl became more and more angry, and even if the whip swung sharply, it could not hit the wood.

"It's spoiled. Lin Mu was about to teach a lesson, when he heard a few big men running behind him: "Miss, wait for us!"

"You guys are just in time, this guy dares to block my way and teach him a hard lesson. The girl commanded.

"You are riding a horse in the street, why can't I stop you? ”

Lin Mu was still trying to be reasonable, but several people had already surrounded him in the middle, and the strong man in the lead said to the girl: "Miss, you go first, and a few of us will clean him up." ”

"Hit hard, just take a breath. The girl said, pulled the horse rope, and walked away.

"Doesn't it make sense? This is forcing me to do it. Lin Mu was a little helpless.

A few big men who were on the shelves withdrew their hands, and the leader arched his hand and said, "Little brother, I'm sorry, my young lady is used to being arrogant, so take care of it." ”

This person's attitude was unexpected, Lin Mu put away the idea of making a move, and said, "It's okay, but if your young lady is like this, no one cares?"

The man sighed and said with a sad face: "The master is away all the year round, and the young lady's mother died early, and there is no one in this mansion who can manage it, and we can only clean up the mess in the back." ”

Speaking of which, Lin Mu didn't want to say anything, this delicate girl, she would know how to restrain when she suffered a loss in the future.

......

The reception banquet is located in the Manjiang Building by the river, the Manjiang Building is the best restaurant in Wuyuan County, built by the river, with four floors up and down, and the decoration is quite atmospheric.

Lin Mu had just arrived at the restaurant, and immediately a servant greeted him to the fourth floor.

"Brother, here!" Zhao Zhongting said enthusiastically, "Come on, let me introduce you, these people are all well-known figures in our county." ”

Zhao Zhongting said in turn: "This is Huang Yuanwai, and the largest silk workshop in the county is opened by their family. ”

"This is Master Li, who is engaged in the business of grain trading, and his family has countless fertile land. ”

"This is Boss Qian, and today's restaurant is Boss Qian's. ”

......

Lin Mu had a pleasantry, Xu is Zhao Zhongting revealed Lin Mu's identity, and these people also deliberately made friends.

After a round of introduction, I found that there was a girl sitting at the back, not like everyone else, playing with her fingers in that boring way.

The girl looked up and saw Lin Mu, and couldn't help but say, "It's you! You're the new head catcher?"

"Is that you?" Lin Mu looked at it, but it was not a girl walking on the street.

Zhao Zhongting looked at the two of them left and right, and said, "Brother, do you know Miss Shen?"

Lin Mu smiled: "I can't talk about acquaintance, but I just had a one-time relationship." ”

"This is the daughter of the Shen family, and the Shen family is a big family in the county. Zhao Zhongting said to Miss Shen again, "Didn't Brother Ling come?"

"My brother is not in the house these days, so I came over to join in the fun, I thought it was some kind of talent, it looked like an ordinary person, it was so boring, I knew I wouldn't come. Shen Xiyao said unceremoniously.

Lin Mu was amused by these words, he was really not an ordinary person, but his original form was not easy to show.

Zhao Zhongting was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to take a seat.

The wine and food came up quickly, Lin Mu stood up, picked up the wine glass and said: "It's late today, let you wait for a long time, I will punish myself with a glass, and do it first as a respect." ”

"Where, where, my lord is serious. ”

"That is, it is indispensable to be close to adults in the future. ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the atmosphere at the table was harmonious, but it seemed that Shen Xiyao was out of place.

The food in the restaurant is quite delicious, much better than the canteen of the Wuliang Xue Palace, but Lin Mu understands it when he thinks about it, but if the cooking skills are good, he can mix well anywhere, and there are a few who are willing to take risks in the demon clan.

After three rounds of wine and five watches of food, the atmosphere on the table gradually became lively, and the relationship between everyone became more and more harmonious.

There is a troupe in the hall on the first floor, and the sound of music is transmitted from downstairs to upstairs.

"Orchid fingers twist red dust like water"

"Three-foot Red Terrace Everything"

"Singing goodbye for a long time is not sad"

"Where it is very red, it turns to ashes"

"May Whoever Remember Whom"

"The best years"

Lin Mu was stunned: "Silk play?"

Boss Qian said: "Have you heard of it, this is the best troupe I specially invited from the county." ”

The restaurant on the fourth floor of Manjiang Building, the upper three floors are not open today, only the first floor is occupied, perhaps to increase the liveliness.

Lin Mu sat on the fourth floor, looking down at the hall at a glance, downstairs singing, is not a silk play.

Lin Mu smiled: "I have indeed heard it, there is a story about this song." ”

"Oh, story, what story?" Shen Xiyao was bored for a long time, and when she heard the story, she suddenly came to her senses.

Zhao Zhongting also said: "Brother, you might as well talk about it." ”

"I also saw it in the travelogue of the Oriental Trip. Seeing that everyone was interested, Lin Mu said, "That's what is written in the book." ”

"Yu Shao can see ghosts, taste the puppet in the snow night no temple every mention of the puppet, the crane hair is ragged, only a puppet is extremely fine, like a lady, painted beads and tears, provocative. ”

When Yuntong was crazy, the two of them were side by side to the fire, Weng said to himself: When he was young, he watched the silk play, and he was delayed in the skills of the puppet of the bell. However, he has been adrift all his life, living without a partner, and the only puppet puppet he is with. ”

Weng said and cried, Yu Wen explained, implored him to play the bell music, make a puppet show of silk, act on the three-foot red cotton, babble, the puppet looked forward to Shenfei, although the makeup was sad and charming. ”

At the end of the song, Weng hugged the puppet, made a little joy, and said angrily, saying: Life is down, all puppets are mistaken, the weather is cold, winter clothes are difficult to place, and it is better to burn it if you are poor. Then he angrily threw himself into the fire. I didn't reach it, and I sighed. ”

Suddenly, I saw the puppet in the fire rise tactfully, bow goodbye, look like a living person, paint tears on the face, a smile bursts away, not in the bonfire. The fire is extinguished until dawn. Weng had an epiphany, hid his face and howled, saying: Warm, lonely. ”

Later, Dongfang Xing told this story to his friends, and Yinlin listened to it, and Yinlin was very moved when he heard it, so he had this silk play. ”

"It's so touching!" Shen Xiyao listened with tears in her eyes, "The old man and the puppet are so pitiful." ”

"This Miss Shen is a little sympathetic, maybe the essence is not bad. Lin Mu couldn't help but change his opinion of Shen Xiyao.

Zhao Zhongting was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Dongfang Xing, but the sage Dongfang Xing." ”

Lin Mu didn't know who Dongfang Xing was, but when he wrote that book, he was already at the peak of the Refining Void Realm, and it was not surprising that he was holy, but is Dongfang Xing so famous?

Where does Lin Mu know that there are only so many saints of the human race, unless they are deliberately hidden, they will definitely be famous all over the world.

Seeing Lin Mu nodding yes, Huang Yuanwai couldn't help but say: "The travels of the Oriental Sage? Where can I buy this book? I must buy a copy to read." ”

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that what he saw in the Chongwen Museum of Youxiong Mountain was only a draft, could it be that the travelogue of the Oriental Trip had not yet been published?

Thinking in his heart, Lin Mu immediately said, "Maybe it hasn't come out yet, I saw it last time I visited with my teacher." ”

Everyone was secretly frightened in their hearts, visiting the saint, how could it be of the same level, if they wanted to visit the saint with an identity like them, they were afraid that they would be directly shot to death, and for a while they felt that the background of the forest was unfathomable.

At the end of the song, a person suddenly jumped on the stage of the troupe, and went straight to the girl who was singing, and said with a smile on her face: "The girl sings beautifully, I am pleased, is the girl willing to marry me as a wife?"

The girl who sang the song had never experienced such a scene, and her face was flushed, and she was too timid to speak.

The class master hurriedly stepped forward: "This son, we still have to sing below, can we ......?"

The brocade-clothed boy was a reasonable man, jumped off the stage, raised his head and waved to the girl hiding behind the person, "I'll come back to you later." ”

Everyone looked at it on the fourth floor, and Master Li said, "Huang Yuanwai, isn't that Ling Gongzi?"

Huang Yuanwai flicked his sleeves and said: "Nonsense, why did this kid come here, and he made such a play, which made everyone laugh." ”

Lin Mu said: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, and Ling Gongzi is also a man of temperament." ”

"What kind of temperament, it's clearly a womanizer!" Shen Xiyao pouted.

Huang Yuanwai seemed to be extremely jealous of Shen Xiyao, so he just didn't hear it, and smiled embarrassedly: "Dogs are the same age as adults, but they can be close and close." ”

"If you have the opportunity, you must be close and close. Lin Mu smiled.

The other person suddenly scolded in his heart, this old fox is really good at climbing up the pole.

The guests and hosts of the meal enjoyed themselves, and when everyone was dispersed, on the way back to the yamen with Lin Mu and Zhao Zhongting, Lin Mu couldn't help asking: "Brother, what is the origin of this Miss Shen family, how do I see that everyone is a little afraid of her." ”

"I don't know where it came from, but three years ago, when Miss Shen was only thirteen, she was already a sinking fish and a goose, and she was favored by the son of the royal family, one of the largest families in the county at that time, and she had to marry home, but fortunately the guards at that time stopped her. As a result, three days later, the entire Wang family disappeared out of thin air, without a trace of it, and from then on, no one dared to provoke the Shen Mansion. Zhao Zhongting's words also revealed deep jealousy.

"Lord Zhou doesn't know?" Lin Mu said in surprise.

Zhao Zhongting replied: "My lord doesn't know, at that time, someone in the county spoke directly and didn't let this matter be investigated." ”
