Compared with the outer courtyard of the inner courtyard, the scenery everywhere has naturally become more beautiful, and every tree and every flower is particularly exquisite in design and placement. Moreover www.biquge.info the facilities in the courtyard are unexpectedly advanced, the lighting lights, and the fountain in the pool, although they are completely "products of science and technology", but they are also subtly complementary to the surrounding ancient buildings.

It's pleasing enough to behold, but it doesn't take down the elaborate design at all. I always feel that this is a "very bad" place.

"Hey, big brother, how do you feel?" Seeing Beidou cautiously looking around, Ripple also quietly poked his waist, "This is a big family." ”

"Well, you can see it. Beidou nodded, "It's not the level of 'rich' at all, it may be the taste of the head of the family here." ”

"Hey, that's right, every grass and tree here was planted by the master himself. ”

The old man who had been walking in front of the two of them also turned around, "When the second young master was ten years old, the old man also specially asked someone to bring a batch of rare and exotic grasses to plant, but they were not planted in the flower hall, if the two of you are interested, I can take you to have a look, old man." ”

"Abel...... You know that a rough person like me doesn't understand those flowers and plants. ”

Ripple said and yawned, "It's been a busy day, I want to hurry up and sit in a chair and close my eyes." ”

"Haha...... That's just as well. ”

The old man turned his gaze, and then moved his gaze to Beidou, and looked at Beidou with a meaningful look, "Then, what about you, young man?"

"I ......"

Although he wanted to refuse, Beidou swallowed back the word "no" on his lips. His energy is not so bad, he is not as sleepy as Ripple, although he can't understand the subtlety of "flowers and plants", but the old man's eyes just now are obviously signaling him to go alone.

It's actually nothing to refuse here, but after all, it's in someone else's house, so it's better to be polite.

"I'd like to see it. ”

"Okay, I'll take you there, old man. ”

The old man smiled, and at the same time beckoned to a maid passing by. Judging from the other party's respectful actions, it is obvious that this old man's status in the half family is not low at all.

"Take this gentleman to the flower hall to rest. In addition, if you want to drink something, just say it, although half of the family looks like this, but there is always only tea in hospitality. ”

"Oh!?really?" Ripple looked delighted, "Then I'm going to drink soju." ”

Shochu ...... It's not a drink that a guest should want.

Not only Beidou, but even the old man smiled very helplessly, and after waiting for the rippled figure to disappear around the corner with the maid, the old man took a step forward and took Beidou towards the so-called "rare and exotic grass" place.

Of course, Beidou knew that this was just a cover, judging from what he said when they met, most of the old man was interested in his "adventure", but because of Ripple's presence, he thought of a way to let him leave first.

It's just that...... is worthy of being an experienced old man, even if he has this meaning, before the other party speaks, he can hold his mind and lead the way steadily and calmly.

Stone bridges and paths connect every part of the landscape, and the attentive Beidou soon discovers that the style of the surrounding scenery changes as he passes through one arch after another. Not only the changes in the vegetation, but most importantly, the changes in the atmosphere of the park that they have brought about.

Sometimes the atmosphere is introverted, sometimes gentle and gentle, sometimes simple and casual, mostly ...... It is arranged according to the preferences of the people who live here. It seems that there are not only those who molt in the trash can and hurt people at will, but also those who are "mature" like this.

"Uncle, what do you call it? ”

Thinking of this, Beidou finally lost the meaning of competition, but walked quickly to the old man's side.

"Half-moor, moored moor, because it has always been called by people Apo Apo, so it is easy to get confused. But I'm really old enough to be a young uncle. ”

"You...... Have you been following the old gentleman for a long time?" Recalling the scene of Ah Bo's command just now, Beidou also had a rough judgment on the status of Ah Bo in front of him. Generally speaking, this kind of "old housekeeper"-like existence has a very high status in the family, and nominally all the subordinates have to listen to him, but in fact, most of the juniors in the family have to treat him like elders.

"I watched my lord grow up little by little, birth, full moon, adulthood, marriage, and childbirth. Speaking of this, Aber's proud face brought a wry smile, "I have always regarded my lord as a child for a long time, and it was not until he married her for the sake of his wife despite the opposition of his family, that I was completely relieved. ”

As he spoke, Abel shook off his tail that was hanging on the ground and had a lot of scales falling off, "I'm ashamed to say that this tail was scratched at that time."

"Then you're already ......" Beidou glanced at Aber's silver-haired face, and although he looked like an old man in his seventies and eighties, he ......

"Old man, I'm already a three-digit demon, and since you know demons, young people, you won't be so surprised by your age. ”

After a pause, Abel explained, "If the people of my clan have a good foundation and cultivate properly, it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years. But young people, as a human being, although there are many advantages, there are also many inconveniences, if you want to extend it, don't forget the practice of 'God'. Your body is like a wooden barrel, no matter how big it is, if there is less water in it, it is just a waste. ”

Ah, I see, Abel is reminding himself not to just "exercise".

"yes, I see. Beidou nodded, "God", in other words, it is probably the soul, but how to exercise the "soul" Beidou has no clue now.

"I'll pay attention to it later. ”

"In addition, it is necessary to find a book of exercises that suits you. Abel lowered his head and whispered, "Hey, cultivation is not easy, cultivation is not easy." Young man, you can wait here for a while, old man, I will stop by to invite the third lady, and then we will go to the flower hall together. ”

"Ah, okay, excuse me. ”

Older people like to lament that "the world is impermanent", and after Abel leaves while lamenting things of unknown significance, Beidou stays alone in the garden. There are some flowers and plants around, and the air with the fragrance of leaves is really better than the exhaust fumes of the vehicles in the city, and the birds returning to the nest are chirping, but in the interval when they are honest, Beidou is still keenly aware of some strange movements not far away.

The whistling sound of something cutting through the air, faint but still coming through the heavy vegetation, but soon the rather regular sound became chaotic, and a male voice came from among the shadows of the trees.

"No...... No, Sister Jing, these two ...... Two thousand ......"

It was a very tired voice, and after hesitating for a while, Beidou quietly brushed aside the leaves of the grass and trees and groped towards the source of the sound.

"Besides, it's too much to say!"

"Ah Yang, you have to know that you are not a wild boy on the side of the road, but the successor of half of the family. ”

This time it was a warm female voice, but even Beidou felt a hint of "hating iron does not become steel".

"If you give up to this extent, how can you be responsible in the future. ”

"But, but I really don't want to do that...... Fighting, fighting, killing. And the successor or something, isn't the brother-in-law also considered the family? And it's mature, powerful, and handed over to ......."

【Smack】

A slap was so crisp that even Beidou subconsciously covered his face, and he didn't have to think that half of his face must be swollen now.

"Banyang, if you say this kind of unambitious words a second time, you won't even have time to rest in the future. Do you remember what your brother-in-law said to you before he left?"

Banyang ...... The name, wait, the female voice just now also mentioned something like "successor".

"Remember...... Everything has to be up to Sister Jing. This time, the male voice was completely silent.

Successor, if that's the case, wouldn't that kid named Banyang be......

"Just remember, then keep ......"

The woman's voice stopped abruptly, and then the grass and trees in front of Beidou swayed as if they had been blown by the wind. Time, as if it had been slowed down, also made Beidou see what should be a momentary "danger" in a moment.

[Hmmm]

It was the sound of the sword unsheathed, coming from the depths covered by grass and trees, and then the blade of the blade with a silver light quickly and straight appeared in front of Beidou's eyes. Cut off the branches, cut off the leaves, cut the air, and finally stopped at the tip of Beidou's nose.

Beidou had no time to think about whether it was a moment or a moment, and his limbs didn't even have time to react, so he could only watch the attack and stagnation of the blade, as if the frozen blood had finally recirculated after this, but then his legs trembled slightly and the fear that filled his whole body.

Curiosity can really kill cats. Obviously, she was spared by the woman in front of her just now, the purple kimono, the black hair that gradually fell, and the naginata in her hand that almost blended with her. Looking like she was about twenty, a beautiful and dangerous woman was looking at Beidou's whole body with an incomparably cold gaze. Although it was just a feeling in his heart, although he knew that the baseless assumptions were very impolite, Beidou still couldn't help but associate the woman in front of him with the "monster".

It's just that...... Occupational diseases should also have a degree, and now is not the time to think about them.

"Trespassing into the inner courtyard of half of the house. ”

The woman's cherry lips spat out cold words, and just listening to them made Beidou shudder.

"Your Excellency, who is it?"
