On the way back from Qiuluo City, Shen Guo and Su Yao slept in the open air, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation were also very simple, which was very unfriendly to Su Yao, who was still recovering. So, when you get home, you should naturally have a good meal.

After cleaning up the mess, Shen Jing cleaned the house inside and out, wiped the dust and dust, and paid attention to every detail. The small courtyard is his home for Shen Qian, and now that the master is gone, he should take good care of this home.

After everything was cleaned up, Shen Jing began to prepare lunch for the two. At this time, it was just after noon, and because they had only arrived in Meiwu City around the clock, they had been delayed all the way to the present, so they had not eaten lunch.

In addition to being good at swordsmanship, he is also a little good at cooking, and it can be seen from Su Yao's appetite expression at this time that the dishes on the table taste good.

The tense atmosphere in the small courtyard has gradually eased. Although the master left, it was not forever, as the master said, what Shen Guo needed to do now was to practice the sword well and reach the realm of the grandmaster as soon as possible. A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, everything needs to be done step by step.

Three rooms with two compartments and one in the outer aisle, this is where Shen Jing lives on weekdays. Shen Guo gave Su Yao the room that was originally his room after tidying up, and the master's room was lived in by himself.

In the afternoon, many of the neighbors in Hongni Lane came to Shen Jing's residence in groups of threes and twos. They all listened to the butcher's words, and knew that Xiao Jing'er had brought a woman back, and it seemed that she was still his wife.

For these neighbors who watched Shen Jing grow up, this kind of thing is like their own sons and nephews doing big things, so they can't help but be curious, so they want to come over and take a look. The neighbors were not empty-handed, and they carried something in their hands as a gift for the first time they met the girl.

For the arrival of the neighbors, Shen Jing welcomed it, and Su Yao could only sit awkwardly and couldn't say anything except laughing all the time. The neighbors basically pointed to things about Su Yao, some asked her how old she was this year, some asked her where she was from, and some smiled and asked when she and Xiao Jing'er planned to get married. In short, they are all paying attention to the relationship between the two of them, as if the two are not married.

Because of the injury, Su Yao basically didn't move much, and occasionally brushed her hair, and in the eyes of the neighbors, she had everyone's beautiful temperament, and she couldn't stop praising her. Su Yao's face was flushed by the words of the neighbors, and Shen was better, but she was also stubborn and kept explaining.

Originally, I just wanted Zhu Huyue to misunderstand and dispel the idea of fighting with him, but now the people in the entire alley know that he brought a woman back, and they all think that Su Yao is his mother, no matter how he explains, the neighbors are only shy about the newcomers, and they all smile and say that they all understand.

There are also better, comforting Shen Jing, and telling him that it is too late to get married at the age of twenty, in short, three or two sentences are still inseparable from their marriage.

In this way, after several waves of neighbors met with them, the two became numb. Listening to the aunts' talk and laughter, they didn't explain anymore, just stiff and embarrassed giggles. Slowly, the sun set in the west, and after sending off the last wave of neighbors, Shen Jing and Su Yao sat down at the stone table under the willow tree with relief.

After a while, the two people in silence spoke at the same time: "You...!"

"You speak first." The two spoke almost simultaneously.

"I'll start with that." Shen Guo said with a smile.

Su Yao also smiled and nodded: "These mothers-in-law and aunts are very interesting, it's just that why do they always talk about us... Marriage? ”

Shen Guo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you remember the Uncle Zhu you met at the entrance of the alley when you came back in the afternoon?" ”

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"Do you remember his daughter Zhu Huyue?"

"I remember."

"Actually, Zhu Huyue has always hoped that I could marry her."

After speaking, Shen Jing smiled. Su Yao couldn't help but sneer: "Didn't she marry you?" ”

"It's all a bad idea that my master gave her, and the master told her that as long as she beat me, I would marry her. So after that, she was always keen to fight with me, and I could only avoid her, or find an excuse to prevaricate in the past. ”

Su Yao smiled again: "So you just said to them, I'm your lady?" ”

Shen Guo waved his hand awkwardly and said, "No, Uncle Zhu will be wrong at that time." At that time, Zhu Huyue was next to me, so I didn't explain, I didn't expect Uncle Zhu's tone to be so tight, but now it's okay, and everyone in the whole alley knows about it. Excuse me! ”

The smile on the corner of Su Yao's mouth never stopped, and she didn't care about this. "It's actually good to have a group of elders who care about you, it's okay, I don't mind."

The sunset in the evening was beautiful, and the fiery afterglow sprinkled all over the earth, and also sprinkled on Shen Jing and Su Yao's faces. It was rare to be quiet, and the two of them sat at the stone table like this, staring at the sunset in the distance. As Su Yao said, there is a group of elders who care about themselves, and their hearts are really warm.

Su Yao suddenly felt that it had been a long time since she had been so quiet, she never thought that one day she would be like this, she didn't have to worry about being caught up by the bad guys, and she didn't have to be displaced, she just needed to quietly watch the sunset in the distance. It's just that no one else in the clan can see such a scene except her.

After a long time, she turned her head to look at Shen Jing on the side, and found that he was also staring at the sunset in the distance at the moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Su Yao didn't throw out the topic, and after a while, she turned her head again and stared at the sunset in the distance like Shen Jing.

Su Yao, who was tired, slept very soundly this night.

The same is true of Shen Qian, thinking about it carefully, the master's departure should have been planned before he went to Qiuluo City. On the next trip, he should need to go alone.

The days in the red mud alley were simple and comfortable, and before you knew it, May passed quietly.

Su Yao has been living in the small courtyard for more than ten days, and she really likes it here. On weekdays, the mothers-in-law and aunts who live around the alley occasionally come over to chat with them, and the mothers-in-law and aunts can't hide their smiles between their eyebrows, and often look at her and Shen Jing's crazy laughter, which makes Su Yao sometimes even give birth to a feeling that she is really Shen Jing's wife.

Thinking of this, she often shakes her head and chuckles, but she is not shy. The relationship with Shen Jing is quite similar to the pool of spring water in the small courtyard, calm is the norm, and occasionally there will be a few ripples, but they all add a few wisps of fun to this peaceful life.

She has recovered well from her injuries and is now basically able to live a normal life. This time, the internal injury was very serious, and he still needed a long time to recuperate, so he could no longer exercise for a short time. The left shoulder injury was changed once, and Shen Jing did it for him. It is normal for the two of them to blush, but they are no longer as twisted as before, and it is natural to pass after doing things with a red face.

Shen Guan likes to practice swords, which is Su Yao's biggest feeling these days.

Every morning, she could see Shen Kuang practicing his sword under the big peach tree by the river, and the small river surrounded the red mud alley, where the residents in the alley usually used their water for their daily lives, so they often met many neighbors in the morning.

Su Yao would occasionally go to the river to watch Shen Guan practice swordsmanship, and when she met those aunts passing by, she was no longer embarrassed, because they were all familiar. Smile and say hello, and the aunts will praise for a long time.

The Zhu Huyue Su Yao that Shen said had also seen it a few times, all in the morning at the big peach tree. Zhu Huyue has been there a few times, and coincidentally, she was there those times. At first, because she was unfamiliar, she couldn't talk about anything, but as she saw more, she would occasionally say a few words to Zhu Huyue.

The last time Zhu Huyue came to Shen Jing was yesterday morning, and she came to say goodbye to him. At the beginning of the month, there was an old road in Meiwu City, and I met Zhu Huyue when I passed by Hongni Lane, and I had the idea of accepting her as an apprentice. Although the seventeen-year-old Zhu Huyue has passed the best time to practice martial arts, he also had to be mentioned by Master Shen Guan when he was a child, so it is still too late at this time with his talent.

Zhu Huyue's departure was something Shen didn't expect. This time he did not avoid her again, but sat under the willow tree with her for a long talk. Shen Kuang agreed with her that when she returned from school, the two would have a good fight. For this strange girl, Shen Guo felt that the next time they met, she might really not be her opponent.

Zhu Huyue's master is a white-bearded old man, with the appearance of a fairy wind and bones, I heard that it is called Cheng Ziqiu, from Qiyun Mountain, a Taoist holy land, or on the side of Nanliang. Although there was friction between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Kingdom, the rivers and lakes were never bound within one country.

Qiyun Mountain, the holy land of Taoism, Shen Jing and Su Yao have naturally heard of it. Cheng Ziqiu didn't know about it, but Su Yao did. He is the younger brother of the contemporary Heavenly Master of Qiyun Mountain, and he has a good marksmanship and a fire spear, which is known to everyone in the rivers and lakes.

Shen Kuang and Su Yao and Cheng Ziqiu had met, and the old man was amazed when he saw the two of them for the first time, and he immediately had the idea of accepting apprentices. But Shen Kuang and Su Yao have a master and a family, so they don't want to worship him as a teacher, and Cheng Ziqiu can only give up.

Cheng Ziqiu gave Shen Guo a feeling that was somewhat similar to his master, thinking that the other party was also a character in the grandmaster realm, but it was just a little worse than his master.

The people in Hongni Alley don't actually know much about martial arts, but they still know what they should know. For Uncle Zhu, who already wants a man, his daughter has such a blessing to be seen by the big man in the treasure land, which is the blessing of their family, although it is a long way to go, but Zhu Huyue is willing to follow his girl's mind.

If it was before, even if there was such an opportunity, Zhu Huyue would probably not be willing, because in her eyes, living in the alley is what she likes. However, since she saw Su Yao that day, her heart has been turbulent.

When she saw Su Yao, Zhu Huyue understood a lot of things at once. Xiao Qian'er may not like her, Xiao Guan'er has been avoiding her all the time.

On the day she left, Zhu Huyue told Shen Jing what she was thinking, and although she knew that she and Xiao Qian'er would not have results, she still said it. Xiao Jing'er talked to her for a long time for the first time, and the beautiful girl named Su Yao had been sitting next to her and listening.

Zhu Huyue knew that she was indeed much worse than Su Yao.

On the day of sending Hu Yue away, many neighbors in Hongni Lane came.

Sending an old man and a young man to the entrance of the alley, a group of people watched them slowly disappear from view, until there was nothing to see in the sky, and the farewell people slowly dispersed, leaving Uncle Zhu alone stunned.

Before leaving, Zhu Huyue always had a smile on her face, but when she gossiped a few words with her father, both father and daughter unconsciously shed tears.

Looking at Zhu Huyue's back, Shen Qian also sighed a lot, went out and came back, and the familiar people around him actually left two in a row.

Of course he doesn't hate Zhu Huyue, they can be regarded as partners who grew up together, for this sister, he heard the master say when he was a child, Zhu Huyue's roots are good. It's just that the master doesn't accept apprentices casually, so when he was a child, except for occasional pointers, he didn't teach Zhu Huyue systematically, which is a pity. But now I wish Huyue such an opportunity, which can be regarded as a good ending.

Before leaving, Shen Guo told the white-bearded old man that if Zhu Huyue suffered a loss in Qiyun Mountain, he would definitely hit Qiyun Mountain.

Cheng Ziqiu stroked his beard at that time and smiled: "This is the old man's disciple, who dares to bully on Qiyun Mountain?" In this way, it can be regarded as agreeing to Shen Jing's request.
