Next to the official road by the river.

said that Lin Daiyu's soul drifted away, and Zhen Ying, who was shocked by the news that Daiyu was actually a soul, came back to her senses: "She is actually a soul?" ”

"Scared?"

Grandma Liu looked at him playfully.

"Grandma laughed."

Zhen Ying smiled: "It's just a little surprised, what's there to be afraid of?" Although I am young, I will be a real man in the future, how can I be afraid of a mere soul! ”

"What a doll!"

Grandma Liu smiled and praised: "Grandma, at first glance, you are like a treasure and jade, the essence is extraordinary, and now it looks really good, much stronger than my board." ”

Saying this, her face changed suddenly, but she saw the unrestrained donkey spread its feet and galloped away.

"Oh, my donkey!"

Grandma Liu slapped her thigh and shouted urgently: "Kyoto is still more than a thousand miles away from here, and my wife and I want to go to my son-in-law, but it all depends on this donkey!" ”

"Grandma, don't worry."

Zhen Ying took a strange look at Grandma Liu, whose temperament changed from a master to a rural old lady in seconds, and guessed that the other party was a real person who usually didn't show up or was testing him or something, so she patted her chest and said that it was all wrapped around him, and her little body had run out like an arrow from the string, and after a while, she caught up with the donkey who was running wantonly, grabbed the donkey rope, and strangled the donkey.

The donkey glanced at him, obediently stopped and bent his hooves to let Zhen Ying get on the donkey's back, twisted the reins, and clicked back.

Grandma Liu walked a few steps quickly, grabbed the reins, touched the donkey's head, and scolded anxiously and angrily: "What do you run, you are not afraid of being caught and swallowed by the old goblin!" ”

Zhen Ying was about to speak, when she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the canal, and saw that two boats that were ten miles away had already sailed, and a slender figure in the bamboo curtain of the big boat window was looking sideways with her head and cheeks on her cheeks, it was Lin Daiyu.

Compared with Lin Daiyu in the state of soul in Grandma Liu's mouth, Lin Daiyu at this moment is soft and weak, without the strong contrast of uprooting the weeping willows, the four eyes are facing each other, a pair of water and autumn waves are still moving, but what comes to Zhen Ying's mind is the picture of her uprooting the weeping willows and being dragged into a kite, and the corners of her mouth can't help but appear a trace of arc.

Then I saw Lin Daiyu bow her head and look away, no longer looking at him.

Zhen Ying was not in a hurry to get off the donkey's back for a while, but just sat on it and watched the big boat sail upstream.

"The jade asks for a good price in the box, and the hairpin waits in the coffin to fly."

On the small boat behind, a majestic scribe stood on the bow of the boat with great ambition, looking around at the scenery on both sides of the river, Zhen Ying saw it, and seemed to be able to hear his voice in his ears.

"This little boy, where are you coming from and where are you going?"

When the two boats sailed by, Grandma Liu finished scolding the donkey and looked at Zhen Ying on the donkey's back with a smile.

"Grandma, my name is Zhen Ying."

Zhen Ying hurriedly got off the donkey's back, took Grandma Liu's hand affectionately, and smiled with a smile on her face: "You are my savior, but don't call any son-in-law, that is to torture me." ”

"Hmm."

Grandma Liu groaned: "You are not a few years older than my family, since this is the case, I will call you Ying'er." ”

"Grandma can call it whatever you want."

Although Zhen Ying complained in her heart that Ying'er sounded like a 'baby, Ying'er', he didn't want to be called Baoyu anymore, so he gladly accepted the title.

"I came from Jinling, because I missed my eldest sister, I took my servants to Kyoto, who would have thought that I would encounter such a danger halfway, if it wasn't for my grandmother, how could I still have my life, and now I have seen my grandmother's stunt, and I hope that my grandmother will accept me as an apprentice and pass on my protective means, so as not to catch me again from what kind of tree demon grandma and what old demon of Montenegro will come to catch me again."

As he spoke, he knelt on his knees.

Although he was born with divine power, he had long been interested in seeking immortals to visit the Tao, in order to become an immortal, this time he encountered a suspected tree demon grandmother in Liaozhai, and he learned that the old demon of Montenegro wanted to arrest him by name, although he didn't know the reason, but he became more and more urgent to ask for immortals.

Now I see that Grandma Liu, a poor woman who was originally teased by the young ladies in the Red Mansion, has such amazing means, plus Grandma Liu gives him a very good feeling, and the image in the book I saw in my previous life is also full of chivalry and the most willing to repay it.

So even if he knew that Lin Daiyu, who was full of fairy spirit, was on the ship, and as long as he reported his name, with the old relatives of the Zhen family and the Jia family, he would definitely be able to get on the ship and go to Kyoto together, and he had the opportunity to ask the fairy Lin Daiyu for immortals, but he chose to stay after thinking about it again.

Because in the crisis of dealing with the tree demon grandmother just now, it can be seen that Lin Daiyu may be a real fairy, but she doesn't know what state she is like herself, and she still reluctantly does it when she pulls out the weeping willow under his bewitching reminder, how can she have the domineering spirit of Grandma Liu's withered branch to instantly cut down so many branches of the tree demon grandma.

"I see, I think your background is extraordinary, which is why the demon covets."

Grandma Liu nodded and sighed: "Alas, since Her Majesty the Empress ascended the throne, the Jedi has reached the sky, people and gods have been isolated, demons are not prosperous, and Da Kun Fang is the pure land of the world, who would have thought that it has only been eighteen years, and demons have risen again." Our people's lives are not easy again. ”

"Master?"

Zhen Ying looked at Grandma Liu expectantly.

"How dare I be an old woman to be your master, you get up quickly, isn't this a sacrifice of my life!"

Grandma Liu smiled and reached out to pull Zhen Ying up, but Zhen Ying was resolute, and where did she pull it up, so she could only smile helplessly: "I really don't dare, old woman, but if you want to learn, I will teach you, old woman, these are all small carving insect skills, everyone can do it in the early years." ”

As soon as Zhen Ying heard that Grandma Liu was willing to teach and heard that this was a small skill that everyone could carve insects, the resolute attitude of the apprentice couldn't help but loosen a little, she got up, took her hand and said with a smile: "Grandma, this is what you said, you must teach me." ”

"Okay, okay."

Grandma Liu smiled and patted Zhen Ying's little hand, raised her eyes to look at the sky, and exclaimed, "Ah! It's getting dark, and it's important for us to stay in a hurry, and I'll teach you when we settle down. ”

"Okay, grandma get on the donkey, and I'll follow on foot."

Zhen Ying helped Grandma Liu onto the back of the donkey, took the reins herself, glanced at the dead branches and rotten vines all over the ground, and didn't care about the servants and horses who were dragged by the demon willow and didn't know where to go.

Neither the predecessor nor he had any pity for these wealthy slaves, because these people were not pure daughters.

And he has been staying in the inner house for a long time because he has not been crossing for a long time, this is the first time he has seen them, and he has no feelings for them, and he knows that these wealthy slaves have harmed ordinary people by virtue of their identities, and they belong to the type of innocent people.

Grandma Liu wanted to speak, but when she saw Zhen Ying insisting, and thought of Zhen Ying's speed as fast as a galloping horse, she knew that Zhen Ying was extraordinary, and it was getting late, so she nodded with relief.

An old man and a young man walked on the official road like this, and successfully stayed in an inn before it was completely dark.

Zhen Ying stopped Grandma Liu from coming forward to talk to Grandma Liu and wanted to discuss with the store the plan to live in a firewood house or stable, took out some gold and silver that she had secretly carried in her arms when she fled from Zhen's house, asked for a guest room, ordered a meal, and courteously invited Grandma Liu to a full meal.
