Chapter 261: Caotou County (I)

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, a ferry boat flew down three figures, and one of them was a girl holding a white cat in her arms.

It won't take long to get out of the Xihua Dynasty, but there is an old man from Qingxi Pavilion here, and there will be another New Year in half a month, so I am not in a hurry to do so for a while.

The older a person gets, the faster life passes.

When I was a child, I was a snail crawling, and I had to look forward to it all day to get over it. When I grow up, I am a swallow flying, and a back and forth is a year, as if I have just finished the reunion dinner, and my relatives have not finished it, it is another year.

The three of them are dressed up now, and they look like a family.

On the way to the small border town ahead, it is not uncommon to see returnees carrying large bags and small bags, driving all kinds of cars on the frozen ice skate.

Those are all people who have been tired for a year and have left their hometowns to earn money.

Passing by a village, Jiang Yu kept staring at a middle-aged man walking back to the village with a large bag.

The man was not dressed in tatters, just a little old. But before entering the village, he went into a wood, and when he came out, he had already changed into new clothes. Jiang Yu obviously saw him standing at the entrance of the village, looking left and right to see that there was no one, so he patted his cheek vigorously, revealing a smiling face, and then stepped into the village.

Jiang Yu turned his head and wondered, "Is face so important? I also have to put on a new outfit before I go back."

Longqiu Tangxi sighed helplessly, she knew that Mr. Liu was going to be reasonable again.

Sure enough, Liu Jingxun said with a smile: "It's not a matter of losing face, it's a matter of working hard outside for a year, whether you earn money or not, at least you have to look at it when you go home."

Jiang Yu was puzzled, "Why?"

Liu Jingxun took a sip of wine and said softly: "The villagers all know that you make money in a big place outside, but after the Chinese New Year, you will look miserable when you go home, and you will inevitably be discussed. It doesn't matter, the most important thing is to change into a new outfit and go home smiling, so that your family doesn't have to worry. When I was twelve or thirteen, I was still in the border army scouts, and at that time there was a big brother surnamed Tong, who was obviously a scout, and he was running around in the mountains for twenty-five days a month, and he could eat raw toads when he was in a hurry, but every time he wrote to his home, he would say that he was doing well, and that he had four dishes and one soup at a time, and it was still one person's share."

Jiang Yu somewhat understood, because when her father and mother were there, she had never seen her father go home with his face pulled, even if she knew from her father's conversation with her grandfather that her father was obviously wronged, but he always smiled at himself and his mother.

Longqiu Tangxi patted Jiang Yu's head and said softly: "Your master is this kind of person, he reports good news but not bad news, and he is always afraid of saying unhappy things, and others who will harm him are not happy."

Jiang Yu raised his head and muttered, "Are we someone else? If you're not happy, you can't tell us, but who do you tell you to go?"

Long Qiu Tangxi grinned and looked at someone, "Did you hear that? Are we someone else?"

When the master's head was so big that he had to say, "Okay, I know it's wrong."

Longqiu Tangxi sighed, you Liu Jingxun made a lot of mistakes, and he knew his mistakes quickly, but he didn't change them.

There are still more than 100 miles to go, and it is almost dark at this time, but Liu Jingxun has no intention of resting outside, it is best to rush to Caotou County overnight, enter the city early tomorrow morning, and see if he can rent a house and live for half a month, it is a big deal to spend a year's rent! Now my pocket is full of more than 10,000 springs, and big families are here!

Around the end of the day, it began to snow again, Jiang Yu went to the river to get a pot of water, boiled it with the Five Elements Fire Technique that had just been cultivated, and was about to throw a few more tea leaves into the kettle.

Jiang Yu is afraid of the dark, so Liu Jingxun is very close to her.

Qi refiners are afraid of the dark, which is also a strange thing in the world.

She was about to take a sip of the brewed tea, but she heard someone speak.

Liu Jingxun said, "Don't worry about it, it's just two water ghosts in the river."

Jiang Yu looked at the tea that he hadn't drunk yet, and fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it, she decisively poured the tea, turned her head, and looked at Longqiu Tangxi with an aggrieved face.

Longqiu Tangxi was also amused by this scene, what a poor girl, worked hard to boil the water, but there were two ghosts in the river, that is not it

Two corpses, so why is she going to drink? new

Jiang Yu turned his head to look at the river, and said in his heart that I wasted a handful of tea leaves in vain, see if I don't subdue demons and eliminate demons.

The next moment, she heard someone in the river again.

"Sister, are we really going? During the day, there are also people patrolling the streets, and if they meet us, then we will die."

"We're dead, and we're still afraid of this? We were dusty women when we were alive, although we were cheap, but we couldn't just die in vain! He has an official body, we can't hurt him, and in two days his child will be full of moon wine, and as long as it gets wet, I will want that child to die!"

"Eldest sister, if it has nothing to do with the child, can't we go to the city god to cry out in front of the city?"

"The officials of the yang world and the officials of the underworld, big mouths and small mouths, the officials protect each other, who will redress our grievances?"

Hearing these words, Jiang Yu dispelled his mind of subduing demons and eliminating demons, and turned his head to look at Liu Jingxun again.

Liu Jingxun smiled, "Let's hurry first, and then let's go into the city."

Jiang Yu sighed, and he was no longer interested in drinking tea.

After walking a few miles, Liu Jingxun suddenly said, "Want to meddle in your business?"

Jiang Yu nodded and said softly, "At least we have to see if those two ghosts are the kind of people who are bullied and can't redress their grievances."

Liu Jingxun smiled and said softly, "Okay, how you want to manage it, to what extent, you decide for yourself." During this period, your sister and I will not interfere, let you do it, okay?"

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up, and then he smiled and said, "Can I?"

Liu Jingxun said softly: "It's okay, it's not necessarily true, you don't know if it's okay when you have to do it."

The girl nodded and asked, "Can you take Bai Xiaomeow with you?"

The master also nodded, smiled and said, "This is okay."

Two water ghosts who can embark on the path of ghost cultivation, let this girl practice her hands, naturally it is not a big problem.

Liu Jingxun thought before that Bai Xiaodou and Jiang Yu, in the future, Jiang Yu may be more protective of Bai Xiaodou, and she will go to the rivers and lakes earlier than Bai Xiaodou.

When I walked to Caotou County, the sky was not yet bright, and the city gate was not opened.

Caotou County is a small city, but on the border, there are garrisons. Like other dynasties, the county commander received six ranks, and at the same time served as a border military captain.

In the upper reaches of that river, there is another small river that flows through Caotou County, so the route of the two water ghosts into the city should be upstream.

If the water ghosts in the river say that they have official bodies, they mean this grass-headed county order, then their revenge is really not revenge.

After entering the city, Liu Jingxun did not rush to find his old friend, but first inquired about where there was a house for rent.

It's almost the New Year, it's hard to find, so I can only find an inn to live in.

Jiang Yu took a bite and ran out by himself, the master taught that before meddling, you must know the cause and effect before meddling, otherwise it is easy to do bad things with good intentions.

Liu Jingxun only let the flying sword Qingchi Huaxu follow Jiang Yu, saying that he would not interfere, but he couldn't let this girl be bullied.

After a while, Long Qiu Tangxi pushed open the door and walked in, and said softly, "Do you want to trap the apprentice again?"

Liu Jingxun shook his head and said, "No, she will definitely have a big heel fight in the future, I just want to let her know first, if she doesn't practice boxing and swords, she can do anything." There are some things that she wants to help, but she just can't help."

Longqiu Tangxi said angrily: "You are such a master? Holding back every day to make evil to the apprentice?"

first taught something that could never be done, and now I want to pit her.

Liu Jingxun was silent for a moment, and said softly: "There will always be times when I am away, even if I am gone, there are others to protect her, but my own path must always be walked by myself. While I'm still here, I can still help her up, and if I leave, someone will help her up, who will help her up?"

If Zhao Changsheng hadn't saved the rabbit, after losing an arm, no one would have found him unkempt in the corner of the alley, and that young man who yearned for the rivers and lakes would have been so wasted, specified.

No matter how strong a person's heart is, there will always be a time when the water overflows.

Liu Jingxuan didn't wear the pavilion master token, nor did he carry a sword, so he walked with Longqiu Tangxi to the place where the common people lived at the root of the city wall.

The alleys are intricate, and there are many large and small courtyards, a family of three.

After a few alleys, the two of them came to a slightly wider alley, with all kinds of stalls on both sides.

Longqiu Tangxi said softly: "If I hadn't seen your list, I wouldn't have thought that Xie Zhu was actually from Qingxi Pavilion, let alone another one who climbed the tower."

Liu Jingxun said softly, "I didn't expect it either."

What I want to find now is the red-sleeved peak master, one of the thirty-six peaks of Qingxi Pavilion back then, who is mainly responsible for all kinds of reception and treatment of people and things in Qingxi Pavilion, the peak master Ning Zi, and the realm of refining the void.

It's hard to imagine that the head of a mountain named after Red Sleeves would have been in this small city for hundreds of years.

At the end of this wide alley, there was a tailor's shop, in front of which hung a red cloth banner, and a young woman sat at the window, looking like she was sewing cotton clothes.

Longqiu Tangxi glanced at Liu Jingxun and said with a smile, "Red Sleeve Peak Lord, isn't it very good-looking?"

Liu Jingxuan rolled his eyes and said angrily, "I haven't seen it again."

Longqiu Tangxi pursed his lips, took the lead to the window, and asked with a smile, "I want to make a cotton coat, can the girl make it?"

The woman raised her head, but in fact, her appearance was average, far from being good-looking.

"Of course, what is the girl going to do? What kind of fabric do you use to make it?"

Longqiu Tangxi pointed at Liu Jingxun and said with a smile: "He likes light cyan, so light cyan cotton clothes, it is best to make a coat."

Liu Jingxun smiled, walked up, and said softly, "I heard that Miss Ning's clothes are a must within a radius of hundreds of miles, and I traveled thousands of miles to ask for a piece of clothing."

The woman squinted her eyes slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid those two are in the wrong place, and I don't have the surname Ning."

Liu Jingxun smiled and said with a smile, "Is Lord Ning Feng still willing to be called like this?"

While speaking, Liu Jingxuan still took out the pitch-black token.
