Chen Ping'an looked around for the first time, but didn't see anything unusual, so he took the little girl's hand and said softly, "Let's go talk elsewhere." ”

Chen Ping'an thought about it, the stream was quiet, and it was easy to hide from people's eyes, but since that time, he noticed that there was something dirty in the stream, and he no longer easily went into the water.

After the little girl in the red cotton jacket said this sentence in a hurry, she immediately regretted it, because Chen Ping'an was standing next to an outsider, Sister Ruan with a ponytail in green clothes, although the previous time on the back of the green ox, Li Baohua had actually met Ruan Xiu, and there was still the Taoist pair of golden boys and girls present, one raised two big fish in green and red, and the other led a snow-white elk, which has a relationship with the little girl's family. Ruan Xiu at this moment, of course, doesn't look like a bad person, but what the little girl is most afraid of now is precisely this kind of person, a half-baked relationship, looking very kind, and in the end, if she doesn't hand out the knife, the people close to her have been stabbed to death.

At the beginning, Mr. Ma and the one surnamed Cui, the two walked all the way, quoting scriptures and classics to talk highly, singing poems and singing about wine, in Li Huai's words, the surname Cui is either the illegitimate son of the old man Ma, or the grandson, otherwise the relationship would not be so good. No one thought that the high-spirited Mr. Ma died in the hands of the righteous gentleman who moved the world, according to Mr. Ma's earliest statement, among all the Confucian gentlemen and sages in Dongbao Aquarius, there are two outstanding and known as "big and small gentlemen", and Mr. Cui is the famous "Little Jun of Guanhu". Before the accident, almost everyone had an excellent impression of Cui Minghuang, gentle and elegant, and extremely knowledgeable, as if he knew everything, and he could answer anything he asked. Only Lin Shouyi didn't like Cui Minghuang at the beginning, but Lin Shouyi, who was born in a big family in Peach Leaf Lane, seemed to be born with the grim expression that you owe me millions of taels of silver, because he was estranged from the other four Mengtong, so Lin Shouyi had many cynical sneers at Cui Junzi at the earliest, and no one understood, but Lin Shouyi was jealous that Cui Minghuang was more beautiful than him.

Although Ruan Xiu didn't understand why the little girl was not very kind to her eyes, she still proposed, "Why don't you go to our new sword-forging room that has just been built?"

The little girl, who was already in the limelight, grabbed Chen Ping'an's hand and shook her head vigorously, her eyes full of begging: "Chen Ping'an, let's not go to a place with many strangers, okay?"

Chen Ping'an gently shook Li Baohua's small hand and said softly: "Believe me, the sword-casting room of the blacksmith shop is the safest place. ”

The little girl looked up at Chen Ping'an's eyes, like the stream she saw when she was young when she walked to the water's edge alone for the first time, it was crystal clear, and the flowing water flowed so slowly, which made the child feel that he would never grow up. At this time, the little girl who was in danger of life and death came to her heart inexplicably with grievances, cried again, and sobbed: "Chen Ping'an, you are not allowed to lie to me!"

Chen Ping'an's eyes were firm and said: "I won't lie to you!"

Ruan Xiu took one big and one small to the sword casting room, took out the key to open the door, she stood in place, and laughed softly: "I won't go in, let you watch the wind outside, even if my father comes, he will not be allowed to enter." ”

Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed, and explained in a low voice: "Can you bring her something to eat and drink, I estimate that after she is not so nervous, her spirit will collapse all of a sudden, and it is better to fill her stomach than anything else when she is young, I often did this when I was young." ”

Ruan Xiu nodded vigorously, turned sideways slightly, and saw her wrist flip, and she didn't know where to conjure up a small silk bag, and handed it to Chen Ping'an, "The five peach blossom cakes newly made by the New Year's Shop, take them first." I'll go get a jug of water and tell her not to eat too fast, not to choke. ”

Chen Ping'an and Li Baohua sat opposite each other, each sitting on a small bench, although the little girl took the peach blossom cake, but there was no sign of eating.

Chen Ping'an said softly: "What's going on, let's talk about it." ”

Li Baohua speaks very slowly, and seems to be very contradictory to her character of being in a hurry to do anything. However, the little girl spoke slowly, which was just enough for Chen Ping'an to take a look at his thoughts and put himself in his shoes. Before the death of the elderly Mr. Ma in the school, the five Mengtong traveled far away to study on the road to their hometown, and walked very smoothly, the ox cart and two carriages walked out of hundreds of miles, Mr. Ma and Cui Minghuang of Guanhu Academy talked very happily, and became friends who forgot the year, but one day, when Mr. Ma was checking their homework, he suddenly said that he wanted to talk to Mr. Cui about the itinerary, and it was possible that the two sides would part ways and say goodbye from then on, after all, there is no feast in the world.

But the children waited for a long time, and they didn't see Mr. Ma and Cui Minghuang return, so Li Baohua and Li Huai ran to find someone, and Li Huai took the lead in finding Mr. Ma who fell in the blood, not to mention his hands and feet, the old man was so injured that even his eyes and ears were bleeding, and he felt that the old man's body was like a bamboo basket lifted from the stream, and the water was all leaking. The dying Mr. Ma asked Li Huai to only bring Li Baohua to his side, after Li Baohua arrived at his side, the old man just grabbed her hand, for some reason the old gentleman who couldn't say a word, maybe he was back to the light, maybe he tried his best, and finally intermittently explained the aftermath to Li Baohua.

When she said this, the little girl in the red cotton jacket couldn't cry anymore, and she cried like a tearful person.

Chen Ping'an is not the kind of character who can comfort people, so he had to silently move a stool closer to the little girl, stretched out his hand to help her wipe her tears, and repeated the chant: "Don't cry, don't cry......"

The little girl sniffled vigorously and continued: "Mr. Ma grabbed my hand and told me that I must find you alone, and I want you to be careful of the people in Guanhu Academy and Dali Capital City, no one should believe it!"

Chen Ping'an's face was solemn and asked, "What about Shi Chunjia and them?"

Li Baohua, whose face was full of tears, suddenly grinned and said, "The four of them are taking that foreigner coachman to go around in circles near Mud Bottle Lane." Lin Shouyi felt that the coachman was not a good person, maybe he was a person with the surname Cui, and he collaborated to kill Mr. Ma. After we found a place for Mr. Ma to be buried, the coachman said that the mountain cliff academy was too bad, because Mr. Ma and Mr. Cui had just received news that the academy where Mr. Qi was the owner of the mountain had moved from Dali to the enemy country of Dasui. We didn't have any ideas at the time, and Mr. Ma didn't tell us what to do in the end, whether to go back to the town school and wait for the next gentleman, or to go to Dasui to continue to study at the Mountain Cliff Academy, and Mr. Ma didn't tell us. So I had to follow the coachman back here, but the coachman said that all of our elder families had moved to the capital of Dali, and if you didn't believe it, you could go to the small town and ask people, and when you asked, you would know that he was telling the truth, because the Dali government let each family stay in the town. ”

Ruan Xiu took a pot of water and knocked on the door and walked into the sword-casting room, and Li Baohua immediately kept silent.

Ruan Xiu did not forget to close the door after leaving.

The little girl waited until the door closed, and then continued: "The coachman was very strange and deliberately asked us, who knows a teenager named Chen Ping'an, who lives in a place called Mud Bottle Lane. Said that he was going to help Mr. Ma bring a message to you. I didn't speak. ”

Chen Ping'an nodded: "It's right." Fill your stomach first. ”

Li Baohua devoured three pastries one after another, poured a mouthful of water, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and said quickly: "Later, the five of us found an opportunity to sum up, and we always felt that it was absolutely impossible to be restrained, so I came up with a way, the day before returning to the town, Shi Chunjia began to pretend to be sick, and I had to take care of her all the time." Then I privately told Li Huai about the distribution of alleys in the area of Mud Bottle Lane, and asked him to admit that he had actually known you for a long time, on the grounds that his father Li Er had been a buddy in Yang's shop, and there was once a young man surnamed Chen in Mud Bottle Lane, who often went to the shop to sell herbs, but when the coachman first asked, he didn't think about this stubble at all. ”

Chen Ping'an was a little puzzled.

Li Baohua explained: "I often see you going up the mountain to collect herbs alone on the side of the small town stream, or when you go down the mountain, you carry a large basket of herbs on your back. ”

Chen Ping'an couldn't cry or laugh, and his eyes showed that he understood.

Chen Ping'an was a little scared at the same time, and said in a deep voice: "It's actually very dangerous for you to do this. ”

The little girl nodded and said, "Yes." Before the five of us discussed this matter, I made it clear to them, Lin Shouyi said that Li Baohua's life was the most valuable, and he was not afraid of death, he was just an annoying illegitimate child, so it didn't matter. Shi Chunjia was stupid and said that he would listen to me anyway. Li Huai said what he was afraid of, people are dying, and if something happens to him, although his father Li Er is very bad and has no fart skills, his mother will definitely help him avenge him. Dong Shuijing was the most neat, saying that he had great strength, and if the matter was revealed, let the four of us run first, and he would fight with the coachman. ”

"But I don't think it's that dangerous, if the coachman really wants to kill us, and don't have to delay to the town, he must have a plan, and guess that one of the real purposes of the mastermind behind it must have something to do with you. ”

Li Baohua ate the last two pieces of peach blossom cake and took a deep breath, "Later, we finally arrived at Xinghua Lane in the town, I asked Dong Shuijing and Li Huai to get out of the car with the coachman, saying that they could take a shortcut to Mud Bottle Lane, in fact, Li Huai wanted to take him around a big circle, I waited for them to leave, and immediately ran out of the car and went to Mud Bottle Lane to find you, but the door of your courtyard gate was locked, but a neighbor passed by at that time, I asked, only to know that you were an apprentice in the blacksmith shop, and I was really anxious at that time." ”

Chen Ping'an was a little shocked this time and asked, "You came up with this series of plans?"

Li Baohua shook his head and said: "Lin Shouyi also had an idea, for example, at the beginning, I couldn't just find a place far away from Mud Bottle Alley, casually said that this is Mud Bottle Alley, so it is easy to expose the filling, but I can't run far." It is best to let the car park in Dong Shuijing's Xinghua Lane, not far from the mud bottle lane, there is room for a detour, and the coachman will definitely ask the ancestors when he arrives at Xinghua Lane, and after confirming that it is true, it will be much easier for us to lie to him. ”

Li Baohua said in a deep voice: "In the end, it turns out that this is indeed the case. ”

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but rub the little girl's head and praised: "It's amazing." ”

Li Baohua said with a smile: "If you are not at home, Li Huai and Dong Shuijing will be even more fine, and you don't have to worry about being forced to confront each other and expose the truth." ”

Li Baohua asked curiously: "Why do Mr. Ma, the school boys, and the coachman who can't speak the dialect of the town clearly, want to look for you?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I'm also very strange, for the time being, I only know that it may have something to do with a few things that Mr. Qi gave me." ”

Mr. Qi once took himself to ask for a locust leaf, but the last locust leaf with the word Yao had been used.

But Mr. Qi himself and Ning Yao have said that this hairpin is made of ordinary material, just an ordinary hairpin used for other hairpins.

Seal?

Chen Ping'an was in a solemn mood, most likely so.

Mr. Qi gave himself two seals, totaling four squares.

How long did Old Man Yang say before he said that he should treasure the seal with the word "Jing" extraordinarily.

The full print is the words "Meditation and Pride".

In addition, Mr. Qi also casually said that if you see an interesting landscape situation map in the future, you can use the pair of landscape prints to draw a bet.

Contacting the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers after the Lizhu Cave falls to the ground, there will really be mountains and rivers gods in charge, and this is the case with the Luoluo Mountain that he is about to buy.

Li Baohua suddenly took out three yellow locust leaves, held them in the palm of his hand to show Chen Ping'an, and said distressedly: "The emerald green leaves have turned yellow." ”

Chen Ping'an suddenly realized that at that time, it must have been these three ancestral shade locust leaves that helped Mr. Ma to renew his life, so that he could say a few more words.

In fact, this is the truth, if it weren't for Li Baohua's blessing to his soul and always keeping these three ancestral locust leaves close to him, I'm afraid the old man wouldn't even be able to say a word, so he would die so unwillingly.

Chen Ping'an has now deposited all the valuable belongings in the blacksmith shop, Master Ruan gave him the yellow mud thatched hut where Ning Yao lived before, not to mention the eight snake gallstones that are still the same color, and the remaining hundred or so ordinary snake gallstones, large and small, were also moved out of the ancestral house in Mud Bottle Lane and the courtyard of Liu Xianyang's house, and all of them were piled up at the foot of the wall of this house.

But the Fang Jing character seal and the Shaking Mountain Spectrum, these two things, Chen Ping'an always carried with him.

After Chen Ping'an pondered deeply, he said slowly: "Now the coachman should be on the way to the blacksmith shop, otherwise you hide here first, and I will go and bring Shi Chunjia and Lin Shouyi who stayed on the side of the ox cart and carriage to secretly bring over? Also, when the coachman arrives at my house in Mud Bottle Lane, he should be aware of it, and of course he may not say anything on the surface, but after that, you are really in danger. ”

Chen Ping'an saw that Li Baohua was still a little hesitant, and said in a deep voice: "Believe me, if your family has already moved away, then the town is only safe here." ”

Li Baohua thought for a moment and asked, "Do you trust Master Ruan, who is striking iron here?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said, "I believe more in the 'rules' that Mr. Qi once said. ”

Li Baohua smiled brightly, "I understand!"

Once Li Baohua made up his mind, he instantly burst out with amazing determination, "Since you believe that Sister Ruan, then I will ask her to take me to bring Shi Chunjia and Lin Shou over, and then find a place to hide, you can deal with the bad guy with peace of mind and talk to him, and see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd first." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled: "Yes." ”

Chen Ping'an walked out of the sword-casting room with Li Baohua, probably to avoid suspicion, Ruan Xiu sat a little far away from the door, sitting on a small bamboo chair with a green color, shaking his body from side to side boredly.

After Chen Ping'an finished his request, Ruan Xiu said without hesitation: "No problem." ”

Then Ruan Xiu squatted down, turned her head to look at the little girl in the red cotton jacket, and motioned for her to lie on her back.

Li Baohua looked reluctant, "I'm running fast!"

Ruan Xiu smiled: "I'm definitely faster." ”

The little girl turned her head to look at Chen Ping'an in annoyance, obviously hoping that he could prove that she was indeed a fast runner.

Chen Ping'an was just about to speak, Ruan Xiu said to the big and small Zhengse: "I have been back and forth several times, and you and Chen Ping'an have not yet run to the town." ”

Li Baohua pouted, "I know that there are gods and ghosts in the world, but you think that immortals are so good." ”

Chen Ping'an made a final decision, "Listen to Sister Ruan's words, quickly!"

Li Baohua sighed, and had to lie on Ruan Xiu's back obediently, so soft and comfortable that the little girl was sleepy and dozed off.

Before leaving, Ruan Xiu said to Chen Ping'an: "If you have something, you can find my father." ”

Chen Ping'an nodded.

Whoosh.

The little girl in the padded jacket who hugged Miss Ruan's neck was suddenly so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she felt a strong wind whistling in her ears.

She turned her head to look down, and saw how the house had become as small as the bluestone slab on Fulu Street, and the stream was as thin as a rope.

On the ground, Chen Ping'an was stunned, watching Miss Ruan rise from the ground with Li Baohua on her back and disappear in a flash.

The young man thought to himself that Miss Ruan was the same as Miss Ning, they were all immortals.

In a quiet and peaceful house in Erlang Lane, Cui Yun stood by the pool, and the young man sat quietly on the small bench.

Cui Yun commanded softly, "Go and get a glass of water." ”

The boy immediately stood up and brought a glass of cold water in both hands.

Cui Yun took the water cup, shook his wrist, and a glass of water was sprinkled into the pool at will, turning into a thin cyan water curtain.

Cui Yun's thoughts moved slightly, and in the water curtain, there was a picture of the ox cart and the horse-drawn cart entering the town one after another, and the people and things were revealed.

Cui Yun put his hands on his sleeves, the whole person looked very leisurely, the toes and heels were exerted respectively, and the whole person was like a tumbler, swaying back and forth.

When the slightest opportunity for enlightenment came, a qi practitioner should be nervous and anxious.

When Cui Qi saw the little girl in the red cotton jacket say goodbye to her two blushing peers, jumped out of the carriage and ran down the street, and then the coachman was tricked by the two teenagers into going to Xinghua Lane.

The Great Li National Master sighed: "Before, I also ridiculed the spies raised by Song Changjing for eating, but I didn't expect that the spies I trained were similar, they grew up drinking urine." ”

However, Cui Yun was soon relieved, and Li Baohua's running figure kept appearing in the water curtain, and he said to himself: "The children here are already smart, especially the group of people like Song Jixin and Zhao Xuan, who are a little older, and then the second group including this little girl. ”

When she saw the little girl in the red cotton jacket running towards the stone arch bridge, the brilliance in Cui Yun's eyes was filled with bursts of turbulent ripples, like big waves crashing on stones.

Cui Qian shifted his gaze slightly, no longer staring at the water curtain, closed his eyes and slowed down, and when he opened his eyes, the little girl had already run across the stone arch bridge.

Cui Yun frowned slightly, "Is it because the methods of the Dali royal family are too bloody and cruel, so it arouses the natural disgust of that old sword? So much so that for me, the person who supports the dragon of Da Li, he also has some hatred by the way? But it stands to reason that the real history of this sword, although there is no evidence, there are only some ethereal gossip rumors, but since it is an ancient sword, what kind of fighting scene has not been experienced, so it will not be so stingy, right?"

The water curtain was getting closer and closer to the blacksmith's shop.

The curtain of water created by a glass of water shattered without warning.

The countless droplets of water that sputtered out in all directions hit the walls, windows, and pillars of the house behind the beams, and even exploded countless holes.

However, the beads that shot at Cui Yun and the boy seemed to hit an invisible copper wall, and instantly exploded into even finer droplets.

Ruan Qiong's voice fell from the patio, "You don't want to get an inch!"

Cui Yun raised his head and said with a smile: "The saint is stingy, if you don't look at it, you won't look at it, if you have something to say, this is the ancestral home of the Yuan family after all, what should I do when I return to the capital and be settled after the autumn?"

Cui Yun said to himself: "The remnants of the Lu Dynasty should also arrive. ”

Cui Yun lowered his head and glanced at the young man, and after retracting his gaze, the left and right index fingers hidden in his sleeve tapped lightly, and said softly: "Just in case, just in case." ”

————

When Li Huai and Dong Shuijing took the coachman to find Chen Ping'an, the latter was building a house with someone.

Li Huai had a ghostly head, and his eyes rolled sharply.

Dong Shuijing's face was as usual, and he had the demeanor of a general.

Chen Ping'an, who was covered in dust, walked up to the three of them and asked suspiciously: "Are you looking for me?"

The coachman didn't look amazing, he looked like an honest and honest farmer, rubbed his hands and came to Chen Ping'an, and whispered, "Can you say it in a different place?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Just say it here!"

Although the coachman showed a displeased look on his face, his heart was slightly relaxed, which is the heart of an ordinary market boy.

The middle-aged man hesitated, "Do you know Mr. Qi from the small town school?"

The straw sandals boy said angrily: "Who in the town doesn't know Mr. Qi, but it's hard to say whether Mr. Qi recognizes us or not." ”

Li Huai held back a wicked smile on the side.

Dong Shuijing of Xinghua Lane took a deep look at Chen Ping'an of Mud Bottle Lane.

Someone on the other side of the room hurriedly shouted: "Don't be lazy surnamed Chen, hurry up and finish speaking, get back to do things!"

The young man sighed and said to the coachman, "If you have something to say, can you do it?"

The man rubbed his cheeks with both hands, exhaled, and said in a low voice: "I am a dead soldier of the Dali Imperial Court, responsible for protecting these children to study at the Mountain Cliff Academy, of course, I do not deny that they also have the duty to supervise them from being abducted by outsiders, such as the Great Sui, and such as the Guanhu Academy, it doesn't matter if you don't understand these, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not." But I don't care what your relationship with Mr. Qi is, and whether you know Mr. Ma Zhan Ma or not, I hope you will be careful and safe in the near future, because Mr. Ma was killed on the way to send us to the Mountain Cliff Academy. Before that, Mr. Ma occasionally chatted with me, and accidentally talked about you twice, once said that he remembered a long time ago, when sweeping the floor, he often saw a child who liked to squat outside the window of the school, and the second time was that Mr. Qi said that before he resigned from Mr. Teaching and the master of the academy, he said that you are also a seed of reading, but unfortunately he couldn't take you to the mountain cliff academy. ”

The man smiled bitterly: "It's just a pity for these children, now they are really homeless and pitiful, the academy doesn't dare to go, and the home in the town is gone." You must know that the Mountain Cliff Academy founded by Mr. Qi is not for everyone to go in and study, our Dali capital has millions of people, and it is said that after so many years of accumulation, there are only a dozen disciples from the Mountain Cliff Academy, and now they are all big officials. ”

Li Huai lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Dong Shuijing stood in place, expressionless.

Ruan Xiu coughed lightly in the distance, Chen Ping'an turned his head, and the girl in Tsing Yi nodded with a smile.

Chen Ping'an knew it in his heart, and only called Li Huai's name, "Li Huai, you two come here, I have something to ask you first." ”

Li Huai sighed and pulled Dong Shuijing forward.

When the man realized that something was wrong, Chen Ping'an suddenly pulled Li Huai and Dong Shuijing behind him, and he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for saying hello to me, in the future, these school children, I will take care of them for Mr. Ma, whether to go to the capital to find their parents in the future, or what to do, I have to ask their opinions." ”

The man smiled dryly: "Chen Ping'an, this is not appropriate, after all, I can take care of their safety better than you." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled: "It's okay, I have money now, and I know Wu Yuan, the county magistrate, and Dong Hu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, if there is really something, I will look for them." Of course, we asked Master Ruan to help spread the word first. ”

The coachman pouted, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw a man of modest stature standing under the eaves.

The coachman, who had already been murderous, suddenly sweated profusely, and said to Chen Ping'an with a smile: "Okay, since Mr. Ma is willing to believe in you, of course I can trust your character, gamble, Chen Ping'an, if you need my help in the future, go to Sannuzuka Lane in the north of the town to find me, and live in the small house at the northernmost end of the alley." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled kindly: "A word is a certainty." ”

The coachman turned and left.

Chen Ping'an's forehead oozed sweat, and he waited until the person completely disappeared from view before he said to the two: "Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, follow me to see Li Baohua." ”

Li Huai asked, "Li Baohua has already told you everything?"

Chen Ping'an nodded.

Dong Shuijing asked, "What about Shi Chunjia and Lin Shouyi?"

Chen Ping'an smiled: "It's been taken over." ”

Dong Shuijing glanced at him and didn't speak.

Still in the temporarily empty sword-forging room, Chen Ping'an stood, facing the five school Mengtong sitting in rows on two benches, according to their age, Shi Chunjia in Qilong Lane, Lin Shouyi in Taoye Lane, Dong Shuijing in Xinghua Lane, Li Baohua in Fulu Street, and Li Huai in the westernmost part of the town.

Except for Li Huai, who is the youngest, there is a big difference between them and them, in fact, the other four are only a few months apart.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Li Huai and Dong Shuijing have already told me about the situation just now, what do you think that foreigner who claims to be a dead soldier wants to do?"

Lin Shouyi, who was long gone, said indifferently: "Even why did the surnamed Cui kill Mr. Ma, we don't know the answer, how can we talk about anything else?"

Shi Chunjia snuggled tightly on Li Baohua's shoulder, his face was slightly pale, and he was still a little panicked, but after returning to the town, especially when he saw the relatively familiar Chen Ping'an, this little girl with pigtails was much more settled, at least she didn't have to worry about suddenly becoming such a miserable appearance after Mr. Ma's death, when they helped dig a pit and bury her, Shi Chunjia was so frightened that she hid in the distance, hugged her head and cried, and couldn't help from beginning to end, Li Huai was no better, hiding farther away than her, fighting with her teeth.

At this time, Li Huai hugged his stomach, cried and mourned, and muttered: "Hungry and thirsty, the so-called hunger and cold, but that's it." Father, your son is having such a hard time now. ”

Li Baohua turned his head and glared: "Li Huai!"

Li Huai drooped his head and secretly pulled the sleeve of Dong Shuijing, who was sitting on the far right, "Shuijing, are you hungry?"

Dong Shuijing said calmly: "I can pretend not to be hungry." ”

Li Huai rolled his eyes.

Li Baohua was discouraged, subconsciously reached out and grabbed Shi Chunjia's pigtail on the side, and shook it vigorously, "Actually, everything is in the clouds now, you can't see through it and can't guess it, Lin Shouyi is right, the person who plays chess on the other side must be a master, we are too young, the top priority is to save our lives, and after confirming that we are safe, we will talk about other things, such as quickly saying hello to the family who moved to the capital of Dali and reporting safety." ”

After Li Baohua said the phrase "report peace", everyone subconsciously looked at the guy in straw shoes opposite.

Chen Ping'an was silent for a long time and asked, "Since we can't think of what others think, then let's figure out what we think." ”

After seeing that the five people on the other side had no objections, Chen Ping'an asked, "Do you want to go to Dali Capital safely and find your fathers and elders?"

Li Huai wailed in pain: "My father and mother take my sister and I don't know where to go to enjoy the blessings, I go to the capital of a fart, just my uncle's temper and their family, they are really rich, they will only bully me more, I used to be a thief, and I will not be an enemy in the future?

Li Baohua bypassed Shi Chunjia and smashed a chestnut down, causing Li Huai to lose his temper suddenly.

Dong Shuijing thought for a while, and said sullenly: "I want to study, if my father and mother stay in the town, if they don't study, they won't study, and they can help them work in the fields, but when I go to the capital, what can I do? I can't even speak their official language, and I'm not Li Baohua, a person who learns everything quickly." Besides, when my grandfather died, I would also die in the school, and said that if I couldn't become a scholar in the future, I wouldn't go to his grave, because he didn't recognize me as a grandson. If the school continues to run in the town, I will stay in the town. ”

Shi Chunjia's eyes were red, and he said timidly: "I want to go to the capital to find my father." ”

Lin Shouyi, who was sitting on the far left of the bench, frowned and said, "Where is it safe, where will I go." ”

Li Baohua crossed his arms around his chest, his eyes were shining, his spirit was bright, and he said loudly: "I'm going to the Mountain Cliff Academy!

Li Baohua stood up, standing between Chen Ping'an and the four classmates Meng Tong, she stretched out her hand and pointed to Dong Shuijing, "Don't talk about Da Li, the entire Dongbao Aquarius Continent is the most famous in Mr. Qi's Mountain Cliff Academy, if your grandfather knows that you stay in the town to study and don't go to the Mountain Cliff Academy, I estimate that his old man's coffin board will not be covered." Of course, don't go if you're afraid of death, study here, stay up for more than ten years, and you can be regarded as a half-baked scholar, it's better than dying on the way to study. ”

Dong Shuijing's words to Li Baohua made his face flush.

Li Baohua pointed at Lin Shouyi, "Aren't you an illegitimate child who is looked down upon? And you also look down on a rich child like me who was born on Fulu Street from the bottom of your heart? After you arrive at the Mountain Cliff Academy, who dares to look down on you? Of course, Mr. Qi said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. That's why you, Lin Shouyi, are willing to stay here, so I don't bother to care about you. ”

As soon as Shi Chunjia saw Li Baohua stretching out his hand to him, he cried out for a moment.

Li Baohua had an angry expression on his face, and sat back in his place, Li Huai wondered: "Li Baohua, why don't you talk about me?"

Li Baohua replied, "I don't want to talk to you." ”

Li Huai was stunned, and then silently raised his head, his face full of grief and indignation.

Chen Ping'an didn't look at the other four, but just looked at the little girl in the red cotton jacket and asked, "Are you sure you want to go to the Mountain Cliff Academy?"

Li Baohua nodded and said: "Mr. Qi said that the essence of our mountain cliff academy's book collection is unparalleled! Mr. Qi also said that even if he can't answer all my questions, he can find answers from the books there!"

We are Hill Cliff Academy.

Obviously, the little girl had long regarded herself as a student disciple of that academy.

Chen Ping'an finally asked, "Aren't you afraid of hardship?"

The momentum on the little girl's body decreased slightly, "One person, I'm a little afraid." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled brightly and said, "Okay." ”

Li Baohua looked dazed, "Huh?"

Chen Ping'an said seriously: "I'll accompany you to that mountain cliff academy." ”

Li Baohua wanted to speak and stopped, her eyes were red, this little girl in a red cotton jacket who was not afraid of heaven and earth, if it weren't for the four cowards sitting next to her, she would have cried again a long time ago.

It's like a long, long time ago, when she went to the creek for the first time to "catch" the crab, in fact, she had secretly cried outside the house, so she could be so proud after rushing into the house.

Chen Ping'an beckoned to Li Baohua, and before Li Baohua walked in front of him, he said to the other four people on the bench: "You four wait here for a while, Li Baohua and I will go to find someone and say something, it will have something to do with you." So don't rush to go. ”

Then Chen Ping'an took the little girl's hand and walked to the outside of the sword-casting room together.

The straw sandals boy seemed to be talking to himself and to someone, "I said that what I promised, I must do it." ”

Li Baohua wiped his tears and said, "But you also said it at that time, if you can't do it, you can say hello." ”

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said softly, "Mr. Qi is no longer here." I said hello and he couldn't hear me. ”

It's only about a stick of incense, even if the young man has already walked away with the little girl in the red cotton jacket, Ruan Qiong, the sage of the military family, is still sitting on the small bamboo chair, and some have not returned to his senses.

Ruan Xiu also sat on the chair, looking at the empty bamboo chair, and her heart was numb.

The boy asked Ruan Qiong to help buy the five mountains, but he was about to leave the town, and if he couldn't come back, he would give four of the five mountains, Luoluo Mountain, Baoqi Mountain, Caiyun Peak, and Xiancao Mountain, to Liu Xianyang, Gu Cang, Ning Yao, and Ruan Xiu respectively. He only left the lonely Pearl Mountain for himself for three hundred years.

The two adjacent shops in the town, Zhunian and Caotou, you can ask Master Ruan to hire someone to help take care of them, and if the business is not good, it doesn't matter if the store is closed one day. However, he would leave behind the hundred or so ordinary snake gallstones for Master Ruan to help sell over there, and the silver he earned would be used to maintain the operation of the shop. Although the two shops don't need to think about making profits, the boy hopes that every guy in the shop can be told that the owner here is a family surnamed Chen in Mud Bottle Lane, and it was opened by their family.

Then Master Ruan must send the four school Mengtong safely to Dali Capital.

As a reward, the young man gave half of the dragon slaying platform and all the gold and copper coins left after buying a mountain and a shop, to Master Ruan.

Ruan Qiong did not refuse.

However, Ruan Qiong said that he could only guarantee that he and Li Baohua would be sent to the southern border of Da Li, and after leaving the country, life and death would have to be left to fate.

Chen Ping'an nodded in agreement.

In the twilight, after Chen Ping'an settled his five children, he walked to the town alone.

Walking across the stone arch bridge, into the town, into the mud bottle alley, back to his house, night fell, the young man looked calm, and lit a lamp.

The boy stared at the lights and kept vigil and did not sleep, just like the previous Spring Festival vigil every year.

The lights flickered, reflecting the young man's silent and stoic eyes.

On the stone arch bridge, someone asked with a smile: "The thousand-year-old dark room is bright as soon as the light is on." Senior, how?"

Someone replied, "Yes." ”

When Chen Ping'an "woke up", he found that he had seen the man for the fourth time, hovering in the air, his snow-white sleeves fluttering without wind.

The man landed on his toes lightly and walked towards Chen Ping'an.

With each step, the man's face became clearer.

The man was still tall, but he didn't feel bloated at all.

The man turned out to be a woman.

For the teenager, it can only be said that she was born extremely good-looking, and she can't look a little better.

She stood in front of the young man, and finally stopped, she lowered her head and bent down, stared at the young man's clean eyes, and said softly, "I have been waiting for eight thousand years. Chen Ping'an, although your cultivation talent is far inferior to my previous master, it doesn't matter. ”

She lowered her head and leaned a little closer, almost touching Chen Ping'an's forehead with her forehead, "Chen Ping'an, I want to ask you to help me say a word to the four worlds outside, is it okay?"

Chen Ping'an nodded subconsciously.

The tall woman smiled.

She suddenly knelt on one knee, even so, she still only raised her head slightly, and she could look at the emaciated Chen Ping'an.

"Okay, from today on, Chen Ping'an, you are my second and last master. ”

Chen Ping'an looked sluggish.

The tall woman covered with snow-white light narrowed her extremely long eyes, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she knelt on one knee, kneeling to the ignorant young man, she was radiant, and her eyes seemed to have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, she said in a deep voice: "Chen Ping'an, please read that oath with me." Is that okay?"

She stretched out a palm and held it up lightly in front of the boy.

Chen Ping'an also stretched out a palm and gently put it together.

She closed her eyes and said slowly: "The way of heaven has collapsed, I, Chen Ping'an, have only one sword, which can move mountains, cut off rivers, pour seas, subdue demons, suppress demons, fight gods, pick stars, destroy cities, and open the sky!"

The young man followed and said silently in her heart: "The way of heaven has collapsed, I, Chen Ping'an, have only one sword, which can move mountains, break rivers, pour seas, subdue demons, suppress demons, and gods, pick stars, destroy cities, and open the sky!"
