Not long after the straw sandals boy left the house, the girl in Tsing Yi stomped her foot and was about to follow, but was stopped by the middle-aged man who had changed from Ruan Shi to Ruan Shi, and said: "Xiuxiu! If you get involved now, you will only do a disservice and harm that Chen Ping'an, and then it will really be a catastrophe." ”

Ruan Xiu didn't turn around, but turned her head suddenly, her black ponytail threw a beautiful arc in the air, the girl's eyes were sharp, and her tone was almost harsh: "Dad, you didn't get involved in Liu Xianyang's affairs, what happened?"

The man wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he still held back and did not reveal the secret of heaven, and said in a deep voice: "I believe Dad, now you, the greatest help to that young man is to try to tell him some secrets and rules of this small cave, and ask him to strive to act within the framework. ”

Ruan Xiu seemed to understand and hesitated. The man waved his hand and said patiently: "Take a hair and move your whole body, you are my Ruan Qiong's daughter, the young man from Mud Bottle Lane, no matter how big the stones he threw into the pond are, the splash is limited, and it will not disturb the old Wang Ba under the water, which means that everything can be maneuvered, but you Ruan Xiu is different." Remember, whenever there is a big event, you have a calm breath, and you are asked to read more and read more, but you always don't listen! Your mind is not even comparable to that of a young man in a bad alley, and you are still a cultivator. ”

In fact, as soon as the last sentence was spoken, the man regretted it a little. There is no way, when it comes to his daughter's side, the man can't control the last sentence of definite demolition. Fortunately, this time, the girl didn't feel wronged, and ran out of the house quickly, leaving a man with complicated feelings.

The man, whose real name is Ruan Qiong, picked a stool and sat down, holding the wrist of the tall young man, a mess of pulses, which was extremely bad. The man, who was already not in a good mood, became more and more gloomy, and complained: "Qi Jingchun is also really, Zhengyangshan is so speculative, even if there is no way to follow the rules and expel him from the country, he will also teach him a lesson, kill the chickens and monkeys, even if he can't kill them, what's the problem with a few hits? Otherwise, there will be an influx of new people in this world next, and it will be even more mixed, and there must be no chaos? Why, are you thinking that you will leave your post in a few days anyway, and the big deal will leave me with a mess? What about the responsibility of a good reader......

The crappy old man sat on the sidelines and watched his nose and nose, and never interjected, so as not to get into trouble.

Ruan Qiong finished complaining, and finally sighed: "You Qi Jingchun are so restrained, there is nothing you can do. The words ahead, you can take them as a deaf ear, don't miss this sentence. ”

The old shopkeeper of the Yang family's shop, in fact, has been listening with his ears pricked up, and after hearing the words, he immediately bowed to him, thinking that he was worthy of being the next saint sitting in the cave, and this cheek could block the flying sword.

Ruan Qiong suddenly looked at the old man and asked, "I only heard that the girl who married out spilled the water." This fucking hasn't married anyone yet, and he's already elbowed out?"

The old man really held back for a long time, and couldn't help but want to say a few words of conscience, otherwise he would be sorry for his iron-clad style, so he plucked up his courage and said: "Master Ruan, is it because of the old age and dizziness? I always feel that the young man doesn't seem to like your family Xiuxiu much." ”

Ruan Qiongqi looked at the old man with a look of pity, and said categorically: "Don't doubt it, you are just old and dizzy!"

The old man also looked at the man with a pitiful look.

The two were speechless.

On the other side of the well, Ruan Xiu caught up with Chen Ping'an and didn't speak, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Chen Ping'an smiled at her, remembering the first time he met her on the back of the green cow, and thought she was mute, or she couldn't speak the local dialect of the town. Now I know that she just doesn't like to talk.

She followed the footsteps of the straw sandals boy and walked to the side of the covered bridge, and the girl in Tsing Yi finally mustered up the courage to say: " Chen Ping'an, my name is Ruan Xiu, my father's name is Ruan Qiong, is a swordsmith, I have been playing iron casting swords with my father since I was a child, this time I came to your town, my father said that it was due to the trust of the sect, and the water and soil here are the most suitable for building a sword furnace, so I came here to wade through the muddy waters, in fact, I know in my heart that my father is trying to find an opportunity for me, my father is dying to save face, just like your friend Liu Xianyang, my father actually wants to accept this apprentice, you may not know very well, if my father chooses to open a sect here in the future, the candidate for the great disciple of the mountain, it is very important, so he is not to see death and not save him, don't blame him......”

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I don't blame your father." ”

Speaking of this, the straw sandals boy paused, raised the back of his hand and wiped his chin, and said bitterly: "I know that I shouldn't blame others, but in fact, I am very angry in my heart, very angry Why didn't your father accept Liu Xianyang as an apprentice earlier, angry Why did no one stop Liu Xianyang when something happened, even if I knew that it was not right, but I was still very angry." ”

Ruan Xiu nodded, "This is human nature. ”

Chen Ping'an didn't want to spend more time here, and asked, "Miss Ruan, is there something wrong with me?"

Ruan Xiu asked cautiously, "You won't go to the people of Zhengyang Mountain to take revenge now, right?"

Chen Ping'an did not speak, neither denied nor admitted.

The girl was not a person who was good at words, so she simply said whatever she thought of: "Don't be so reckless, Zhengyang Mountain is a famous sect of our Dongbao Aquarius, and the identity of that old ape is actually no different from the ancestor of Zhengyang Mountain, even if ......the old ape can't use magic powers here, but if it is against you, it is very simple!

Chen Ping'an interrupted the girl's words and said, "Miss Ruan, your so-called punishment means that the murderer will be driven out of the town?"

Ruan Xiu was dumbfounded.

Chen Ping'an smiled, and in turn comforted the girl, his eyes were sincere, as clear as a stream, "Miss Ruan, I understand your kindness." Of course, I wouldn't be stupid enough to rush up and fight that kind of god directly. ”

Ruan Xiu was relieved, and habitually patted her chest, perhaps because she felt that her actions were a little childish, not elegant enough, not like everyone's ladies, and the ponytail girl smiled a little embarrassed.

Chen Ping'an also laughed and said, "I only gave you three fish last time, but I was too stingy." ”

Ruan Xiu was a little embarrassed, and quickly asked worriedly, "Your left hand?"

Chen Ping'an raised his tightly bandaged left hand, "If you don't tighten it, it's no longer in the way." ”

Ruan Xiu sorted out her thoughts for a moment and said slowly: "Chen Ping'an, don't be impulsive, Mr. Qi's situation is more difficult now, and when Mr. Qi and my father hand over, it is very likely that the town will usher in a new situation of earth-shaking, whether it is good or bad, it is difficult to say at present, so it is easy to be quiet and not easy to move." ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Ruan Xiu was a little anxious inexplicably.

In the final analysis, it is because she herself is very anxious, according to her temperament, she should have killed the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain at this time, but now she has to persuade the young man not to take risks, which is against her heart. But the problem is that, as she herself said, the general trend is indeed easy to be quiet and not easy to move, which is also her intuition.

She Ruan Xiu recklessly went to someone to ask for an explanation, even if she caused trouble that broke the sky, her father would definitely not care, and most of them could be suppressed.

But this Chen Ping'an in front of him can only be conceited of life and death.

Chen Ping'an said goodbye to Ruan Xiu and left, and ran to the covered bridge alone.

Don't be a girl, see a girl again.

On the stone steps at the south end of the covered bridge, there sat a girl with swords stacked on top of her sword, with a solemn face.

She was dressed in a dark green robe, with narrow eyebrows, pursed lips, and two richly woven gold silk embroidered bags beside her.

Chen Ping'an ran quickly to the covered bridge, and as soon as he reached the bottom of the steps, the girl Ning Yao threw down the two bags of copper coins and said indifferently: "Return you." ”

Chen Ping'an stood at the foot of the steps, holding two bags of money with both hands, not knowing what to say for a while.

Ning Yao said with a straight face: "I said that I wanted to ensure Liu Xianyang's safety, but now I didn't do it, it's me Ning Yao who is sorry for you Chen Ping'an and Liu Xianyang!"

The girl knew that in this town, a teenager whose body was still an ordinary boy could not be saved by a punch from a fairy figure. Moreover, if Liu Xianyang is saved, even if there is only a glimmer of life, with Chen Ping'an's rotten and good character, I am afraid that even if he stays at the blacksmith shop, he will be beheaded, and he will definitely not leave half a step without permission.

Chen Ping'an walked up the steps, squatted not far from her, handed back the two bags of money to the girl, and said softly: "Miss Ning, the money, you keep it, plus the bag hidden by my family in Mud Bottle Lane, you take it all, I don't need it anymore." In the future, if I hope to, I will help spend money to hire people to take care of the house of Liu Xianyang and me. ”

The girl didn't take the money bag, and laughed angrily, "Then do you want to help you paste Spring Festival couplets and door gods during the Spring Festival every year?"

Chen Ping'an said with a serious face: "If you can, it's the best." ”

The girl was almost so angry that she scolded: "When I was a child, I was slapped in the face by the tail of an ox, it's amazing! You can justifiably do stupid things? I'm so angry! In short, Chen Ping'an, don't worry about this matter, do you think that with your little three-legged cat kung fu, you can deal with a mountain-moving ape in Zhengyang Mountain? Liu Xianyang's broken house, you can take care of it yourself in the future, and your Spring Festival couplets will go and buy it yourself! I would rather Yao not wait!"

Chen Ping'an looked at the girl and said, "Miss Ning, although I haven't known you for a long time, I can be sure of one thing, if you have the confidence to help Liu Xianyang avenge, you will definitely not return the two bags of money to me, at least not at this time." ”

Chen Ping'an put the money on the steps between the two, "Miss Ning, when is it now, do you think I am still in the mood to say kind words to you? You and me, as well as Liu Xianyang, are just doing a business deal, and they are not sincerely pitting us, but when we encounter such natural and man-made disasters, no one can think of it, how can there be a reason for you to lose your life? Believe me, it's not just me Chen Ping'an who doesn't want to see this, Liu Xianyang is also a fool who is unwilling. If he can speak, he will only talk about the affairs of the masters, don't worry about the girls......"

The young man suddenly grinned and said, "Of course I don't dare to say that to Miss Ning. ”

Ning Yao pressed his hands on the white sheath long sword, squinted and said: "I only said half of what I said before, and the guilt is half of it, and then since I ran away from home, I Ning Yao has walked the world, and I have never encountered a hurdle and bypassed!"

The girl stretched out her thumb and pointed to her heart, "It's the same here!"

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "Miss Ning, before you do something, can you let me find three people first?

Ning Yao asked, "How long will it take?"

Chen Ping'an said without hesitation: "Half a day at most!"

Ning Yao asked again, "Apart from Qi Jingchun, who are the other two?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "Miss Ning, don't ask." ”

Ning Yao frowned and said: "The Kiln Supervision Department, you can't manage this, do you really think it's a trivial matter of stealing chickens and dogs and fighting on the street?"

Chen Ping'an was just about to stand up, but Ning Yao said in a deep voice: "Take the money!"

Chen Ping'an had to put it away first.

"Chen Ping'an, you wait, turn around first. ”

After letting Chen Ping'an turn around, Ning Yao suddenly bent down, lifted his robe, took off a simple short knife tied to his calf, stood up and handed it to the young man, and said in an extremely solemn tone: This is a unique skirt pressure knife in our hometown, and every woman will have it. If you are in a hurry and act cheaply, I don't pay attention to any folk customs. But don't forget, this knife is lent to you, not to you!"

Chen Ping'an was a little dazed, but stretched out a hand to catch the short knife.

The girl said angrily: "Use your hands!

The boy quickly raised his other hand, but he was still puzzled.

Ning Yao didn't have a good breath and said: "Do you think that with just a few pieces of broken porcelain, you can kill that mountain-moving ape? Cai Jinjian is just a character who hasn't gone far on the path of cultivation, not to mention that the old beast in Zhengyang Mountain has a natural vision, the most rough skin and thick flesh, not to mention the porcelain piece, it is an ordinary immortal weapon, it can't hurt the old beast in the slightest, and it makes one or two scars when it dies, what's the point?

The young man who took the knife with both hands and didn't know how to place it looked a little strange at the moment.

Ning Yao glared and said, "I'm going to use a knife to cut people, and I'm not allowed to explode a few foul words?!"

Chen Ping'an was speechless, and for some reason, the young man sat back in his position, sat on the steps, and looked up at the southern sky.

The girl stood beside the boy.

Chen Ping'an persuaded for the last time: "It's really going to die." ”

The girl clasped her hands around her chest, wore a sword on one side and hung a knife on the other, her face was indifferent, "I have seen more dead people than you have seen living people." ”

Then she deliberately said in a nonchalant tone: "That skirt knife, you can tie it to your arm and hide it in your sleeve when you turn around." ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Chen Ping'an slapped his knee vigorously, stood up, and suddenly said, "I know you, I'm very high." ”

The girl turned abruptly and walked first on the covered bridge.

A young girl, a long sword with a snow-white scabbard, and a narrow knife with a pale green scabbard.

Her figure at this time.

It is the most beautiful picture that a teenager has ever seen in his life, and there is no one.

At this moment, the boy felt that even if he could get out of the town, he would not see a more heart-warming scene than this.

There is no loss in this life.

So because of Lu Daochang's words, the young man who became a little afraid of death was not afraid of death at all, but as before, he was not afraid of death at all.

Death is death.
