The person at the door was an old woman, over seventy years old, with gray hair, wrinkled face, and a rickety figure. There was a bamboo cane and a luggage parcel beside him.

Seeing Li Fenglan and them, the old woman hurriedly greeted them.

"Oh, the old body can see you!" The old woman's voice was very excited, and there were even tears flashing in her eyes.

Li Fenglan asked, "Mother-in-law, who are you?" ”

The old woman calmed down her excitement and said, "Where are the people who come to look at the moon, the wind shadow is vaguely like last year." ”

Hearing this poem, Li Fenglan showed a happy expression on her face: "Mother-in-law! You are a member of our Changfeng Tower! ”

A few days ago, Li Fenglan sent a letter to Li Changnian, telling him that the people were no longer safe, and asked him to send a message to the people scattered in the rivers and lakes, asking them to go to the idler's hall, and attached a poem, which was regarded as a code.

The old woman held Li Fenglan's hand, and the tears in her eyes just now finally flowed out, and she whimpered and said, "Eighteen years, I thought I would never see the old people in the building again." ”

The old woman was crying, her body became more and more rickety, Li Fenglan put her hands around her, and whispered, "Mother-in-law, let's go to the house and talk." ”

Helping the old woman into the hall, Amber took out her treasured pastries and gave them to the old woman. Amber doesn't know how to be hospitable, she only knows how to be good to her own people, as for how to be good, that's what she thinks is good, that's good.

The old woman looked at the pastry, smiled and waved her hand: "Girl, the old body and mouth are not good, and I can't eat sweet...... What a handsome girl, are they all our children of Changfeng Building? ”

Li Fenglan replied: "No, the three of us are from the valley." My name is Li Fenglan, her name is Jade, and her name is Amber. These two are our friends, this is Qingfeng Guan Zhu Mingyu Zhu Daochang, and this is ...... Belch...... Twilight. ”

The old woman held Amber's hand and said, "Okay, good, the old man used to be in Changfeng Building, and he didn't have any important duties, just doing chores and helping the young men and girls to boil medicine and heal their injuries." I thought I had found a home for the rest of my life, but who knows...... Ay...... At that time, the children in the building, all of them were chivalrous and angry, loved to fight and hug unevenly, and often came back with lottery. You know Ah Hu, right? She is a girl's family, she is the most capable of fighting, and she is also the most likely to be injured. ”

The old woman should have not spoken to anyone for many years, but when she saw her own person, she suddenly talked a lot, and she couldn't close the conversation box as soon as she opened it. Fortunately, she was talking about Chen Tong, and the girls listened with great interest.

The old woman continued: "Once, Ah Yan and the landlord were designed to be ambushed. This girl has always been strong, but she had to break it, but she came back covered in blood, and she was hit by five knife wounds on her body, almost breaking her appearance...... Ah, Ah Tong is okay now? ”

Jade replied, "She...... It's my mother, she's fine. ”

The old woman was a little surprised: "Ah Yan got married?" Yes, yes, it's been eighteen years, and Ah Yan is not young anymore. Is it cheaper Zhou Xiao, a stinky boy? ”

Jade was a little embarrassed: "En...... Be. ”

"Hahaha," the old woman laughed with relief, "In this way, this kid Zhou Xiao has to thank me, when he chased your mother, it was still my idea." ”

Jade was even more embarrassed, she wanted to know about her parents' past, but this kind of past...... It's not that I don't want to know, it's just very contradictory, and it's a little hard to talk about.

Li Fenglan suddenly asked, "Mother-in-law, after talking so much, I don't know what to call you." ”

"Oh, look at me, I don't have a head when I talk about it. I am an orphan, I don't have a surname, and the young people in the building used to call me Aunt Mei, so you can call me Granny Mei. ”

Amber smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you're tired all the way, I'll take you to rest, and we'll have dinner later." ”

Granny Mei shook her head: "I'm not tired, I'm hiding not far from Luoyang, half a day's road." Mother-in-law, I am here to help you, not to trouble you, you can rest assured, mother-in-law is not a person who eats idle meals. In the future, I'll be responsible for cooking and washing clothes for you, and my old bones will still be of some use. ”

Li Fenglan hurriedly said: "Then how can I let Lao Mo, no, the valley master will scold me if he knows about it." Someone cooks the food, and we will wash the clothes ourselves. ”

Jade glanced at Li Fenglan and said in her heart: When have you washed your clothes?

Amber followed suit and said, "yes, yes, we'll wash it ourselves." ”

Emerald gave amber a white look: You haven't washed it either.

Granny Mei waved her hand: "I've worked all my life, I can't be idle, girls, don't shirk." Where's the kitchen? I'll make you lunch. ”

It's easy to talk about it, but I finally persuaded it and didn't let Granny Mei cook. Zhu Mingyu still has to trouble cooking. Zhu Mingyu has nothing to say, he is soft on people and has a short mouth. A young man in the rivers and lakes, now doing the work of a man every day. Although he told Li Fenglan about his positioning in the morning, he knew that he could at least eat enough here, and he would have to starve when he returned to Qingfengguan.

During the period of cooking, the three girls accompanied Granny Mei to chat, and the mother-in-law was very talkative, and kept talking about the things in the Changfeng Building before, sometimes making the three of them giggle, and sometimes talking about the three of them with tears in their eyes.

Originally, Li Fenglan decided to leave for Yaoxian Valley that afternoon, she was a person who said she would leave, and she never inked. But Granny Mei came, and it seemed too unkind to leave now, so she put the time of departure until the next day, and she needed to arrange Granny Mei's safety.

The current idler's hall is Changfeng Building for the people of Jianghu. Although a few days ago, he hit the Songshan faction and made an attitude of "we don't seek revenge and kill people, but we will beat whoever provokes us", but we also have to guard against those who don't give up. Granny Mei is an old man, in case someone knocks on the door, she can't prevent it.

Li Fenglan's idea was: to place Granny Mei in the Bai family first, and then receive the idler's hall when she comes back.

But her idea was not implemented, because after lunch, another person came to the idler's hall.

A middle-aged man in his forties stood at the gate, quietly staring at Li Fenglan and the others.

This middle-aged man, with resolute eyebrows and a sturdy figure, should be a good outsider.

Li Fenglan felt a little embarrassed, she had just greeted the middle-aged man, but the middle-aged man was unmoved, just looked at them quietly.

Li Fenglan asked in a low voice again: "Who are the seniors?" ”

Finally, the middle-aged man spoke: "Where are the people who come to look at the moon, the wind shadow is vaguely like last year." ”

"You're from Changfeng Tower?"

"Changfeng Lou Xiao Junhao."

At this time, Granny Mei came to the door and saw Xiao Junhao, Granny Mei's eyes lit up, and she was extremely shocked and said, "You are ...... Little rats? ”

Xiao Junhao also saw Granny Mei, compared to Granny Mei's shock, he, a middle-aged man, actually cried out with a "wow", ran over to Granny Mei and bowed his head, and Granny Mei hurriedly supported him.

Li Fenglan and the others were a little at a loss when they saw this reaction.

"Aunt Mei! You're alive! You're still alive! This middle-aged man cried like a child, which made people sigh.

Granny Mei also shed two tears, she stroked the top of Xiao Junhao's head, and said in a trembling tone: "Little mouse, Aunt Mei thought you were dead, and I was looking at you at the time...... Creation, creation. ”

Xiao Junhao choked up and said, "I also thought I was going to die, but I ended up dying and crawled out of the mass grave." Haizi, Ying'er...... They all died, they all died by my side. ”

At the gate, it was not good for the two of them to cry here, and Li Fenglan hurriedly welcomed Xiao Junhao into the courtyard.

Aunt Mei took Xiao Junhao's hand and said, "It's been eighteen years, little mouse, you have to be forty-three this year, right?" ”

Xiao Junhao shook his head and said, "Forty-six, and it will be fifty in a few years." ”

"Are you married?"

"No, I'm too stubborn, no girl can take a fancy to me, I've been alone all these years."

"It's delayed."

The two of them talked for a long time, and then remembered that there were still girls around them, Xiao Junhao hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists at Li Fenglan and the three of them, and said: "Miss Fenglan, Miss Jade, Miss Amber, after receiving the message from Old Man Li, my subordinates rushed here non-stop, and I will stay here in the future, and let the three of them drive." ”

Li Fenglan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, we are not the eldest lady, and you are not our subordinates." You will stay here in the future, you don't need to do anything, these are what Changfeng Lou owes you. And how did you separate the three of us? From the moment she entered the door, Li Fenglan hadn't introduced herself.

Xiao Junhao said: "Old man Li mentioned three young ladies in the letter, and I can tell from your clothes. ”

Li Fenglan was a little speechless, this is also to blame Aunt Zhou, she gave these two names to Jade and Amber, and made green and yellow clothes for them to wear since she was a child, which is somewhat superficial.

Xiao Junhao continued: "Old man Li also instructed that the three young ladies go in and out of the rivers and lakes and don't know much about many things. I used to manage finances and collect information in Changfeng Building, and I had some things that I could get my hands on. You guys are going out of the valley this time, and you will inevitably need me. ”

Granny Mei also said: "You can agree, the little mouse is very tough, don't fight with him for anything." ”

Li Fenglan had no choice but to agree.

Xiao Junhao was also not polite, stretched out his hand at Li Fenglan, and said, "Miss Fenglan, give me the key to the treasury." ”

Li Fenglan scratched the back of her head embarrassedly and said, "We don't have a warehouse yet." ”

Xiao Junhao pondered for a moment: "In the future, there will be a lot of brothers and sisters in the building, money is a big problem, but it doesn't matter, I will find a way to solve it." ”

Amber said, "We still have fifteen hundred taels of silver, but we have it in the Bai family." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Junhao showed a slight smile on his face: "I thought that the big guy was living a hard life in the valley, but I didn't expect the three young ladies to come out of the valley, and the landlord could still make up so much money." ”

Li Fenglan said embarrassedly: "The valley is so-so, the harvest has not been good in the past few years, the grain has been poor, and we have ...... money."

Li Fenglan was embarrassed to say it, and Amber took her words: "We robbed the money!" ”

Xiao Junhao's face was full of disbelief, this eldest lady doesn't look like a person who does evil.

Li Fenglan hurriedly said: "Long journey, Uncle Xiao, you are tired, I will take you to the backyard to rest." ”

Xiao Junhao said that he was not tired, and he wanted to take a closer look at the idler's hall...... The main thing is to see where it is suitable to build fortifications. Li Fenglan accompanied Xiao Junhao to walk around and also talked about the current form. Li Fenglan briefly talked about what happened during this time, and then said that she would leave for Medicine Immortal Valley tomorrow.

Hearing this, Xiao Junhao shook his head and said, "Don't move tomorrow." ”

"Why?"

"Tomorrow is the August Festival."

Li Fenglan suddenly realized that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Xiao Junhao said: "The brothers in the building are all from the rivers and lakes, and many of them are fatherless and motherless, so the landlord pays great attention to the festival, no matter what festival to do." The ladies have a holiday for the first time after coming out of the valley, and they can't be sloppy, what's the matter, let's talk about it after the August Festival. ”

Li Fenglan's heart warmed, she thought that Xiao Junhao was a dogmatic and stubborn person, who knew that it was quite humane.
