The chatter at the fork in the street continued, but it was a pointless twist, and the two of them returned the same way in the direction of the inn.

"Aren't you going to take a look," Yue Hanzhi asked from the side.

"Let's go later, it's not that there are still five days before the village opens, I'm just asking someone to pass the word, it's still early."

The two walked across the stone bridge across the river channel of the town, and walked across the embankment of the willows, and they could already see the location of the inn where they lived, but they soon found that there was such a young man about the same age as Lin Manliu standing at the door of the inn, and he also looked at the short-shirted boy, who should have confirmed his identity and ran over quickly, before Lin Manliu could ask about the matter.

"You are the one who almost fell into the lake last night when the wind blew on the edge of the West Lake, Brother Ye said that you have something where he left, and called me to come and call you to pick it up, yes, my name is Chongying" Chongying walked in front of the short-shirted boy and said to him.

Lin Manliu thought to himself why the old liar was still lying and fooling the child, and he didn't leave anything behind, so he waved his hand and said to Chongying: "I didn't lose anything, and you don't listen to the old liar's nonsense."

Hearing the title of the old liar, both Yue Hanzhi and Chongying were stunned, and then Chongying laughed heartily and responded: "Ah, yes, yes, he's an old liar, I didn't expect you to be able to see him clearly when you first met you, I was deceived by him at the beginning."

The short-shirted boy was a little speechless when he heard this response, and then the two confirmed what had happened when they talked, affirming that it was the person behind the scenes who fooled the two of them, but there was a tacit understanding that the two people seemed to be called the old liar by default, and they didn't deliberately call or dwell on what the name was.

"In that case, it seems that I still have to go to the mansion with you for a while, but it just so happens that I also have something to visit the Lu Mansion," Lin Manliu, who understood the general situation, said to him with a fist.

"Then let's go, six brothers," Chongying said, about to put his arm around the shoulders of the young man in the short shirt, preparing for the two of them to go to the Lu Mansion together. At this moment, the short-shirted young man did not speak in time, and subconsciously looked at Yue Hanzhi beside him, and Chongying also looked at him and asked him: "Brother Manliu, is this your sister?" ”。

"It's not...".

"Wait for me for a moment" A cold sound came from under the hat, and the woman in blue walked straight to the inn.

After a while, Yue Hanzhi, who had put on his hat again, appeared in front of the two of them, and his voice was like just now, "Let's go."

"Let's go?" Chongying looked at the woman in blue in front of him with some concern, and then looked at the short-shirted boy beside him.

"Let's go..."Lin Manliu said helplessly.

Then the three of them walked to the east of the city, through many rain corridors and embankments, and finally walked into a relatively wide bluestone brick road before ending the street walking, the streets here can be exaggerated compared to those embankment alleys just now, and the things on both sides of the road have also changed from some small stalls and chatting corridors to two high walls, the only embellishment outside the wall is the treetops hanging from the wall, led by Chongying, Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi followed behind for a short moment, and finally walked in front of a mansion gate.

The whole gate is not as grand as the mansions of those dignitaries, and in Lin Manliu's impression, it is not as spectacular as the Taoist temple in his hometown of Fengcheng, but it is very monotonous with a main gate and a slightly shorter side door, and there is an empty place above the main gate that should have been placed on the mansion plaque, but now it has been removed, and there are only two stone lions in front of the door that have suffered from the vicissitudes of life, and it seems that no one can repair it.

"Some guests who have traveled far have already stayed in the mansion a few days ago, and they have been quiet in the past two days, you two come with me, there is nothing particular about it, Brother Lu himself said that he is also a layman, and he will go directly to the main gate to enter the mansion in a while" Chongying said and prepared to take the two into the mansion. 、

Just when the three of them walked up the stone steps and pushed open the main entrance, the side door was suddenly opened and a head poked out, it was the man in the yellow shirt, he said: "Why do you come to get things and drag your family, Chongying, how do you pass on the words" After the man in the yellow shirt finished speaking, he began to close his eyes and smile, as if he was preparing to wait for Chongying and Lin Manliu to be embarrassed.

As a result, Yue Hanzhi didn't move at all, and the two teenagers looked at each other, then looked at the heads poking out of the side door and scolded in unison: "Old liar."

The smug smile of the man in the yellow shirt was scolded by this, and he couldn't smile anymore with a stiff face, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said yes, and then closed the side door and walked towards the house.

Then the three of them entered the mansion from the main entrance, only to see the man in the yellow shirt striding forward towards the backyard, without the intention of waiting for the three of them at all, Lin Manliu and the three had to follow him.

It didn't take long to pass through the garden pool of the main hall, and walked to a small courtyard to stop, there was a door hidden and it was difficult to see the inside, Chongying took the lead in pushing the door in.

"Find Brother Lu to keep accounts" Before he could step into the courtyard door, the voice of the man in the yellow shirt came.

"Who do you think you are, I'll go if you let me go" Chongying obviously didn't want to lose face in front of his new friends, and yelled at the voices in the courtyard, but before there was any response from the house, he grinned at Lin Manliu, made a cheering gesture and ran away.

Ran away......

Lin Manliu was a little speechless in his heart, and nodded with Yue Hanzhi and walked into the courtyard together.

On the wall of this small courtyard hangs an engraved wooden board in the style of a waist tag, on which are written the words "listen to the rain".

The furnishings in the courtyard are very ordinary, there are only two wing-room style rooms in the courtyard, there is no main house, the door curtain is hung and it is easy to distinguish that one is the kitchen and utility room, the other is the bedroom, the wall near the kitchen side is dry some medicinal herbs between the gaps, in the vacant area of the courtyard is a long bamboo chaise longue, near the side of the bedroom is three stone piers and two bamboo seats placed together under the eaves.

Seeing this situation, it is difficult to associate with the liar who sells books, and this kind of program will actually be the residence of that person. After Lin Manliu finished reading it, he found that the man in the yellow shirt was standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back, looking at himself and Yue Hanzhi who entered the door.

"You did have something left behind me, but I want to find you in exchange for something," the man in the yellow shirt said with a light cough, and after speaking, he reached out his right hand from behind him, only to see a cyan wooden scabbard held in his right hand.

"What is this?" Lin Manliu asked suspiciously, suddenly remembering the conversation that night, his left hand was unconsciously ready to pull out the mountain walk around his waist, and his right hand slowly moved behind him as if he wanted to protect the black cloth strip on his back.

"Don't be so nervous, I just want the strip of black cloth that wraps the sword body, and use this scabbard to exchange with you," the man in the yellow shirt finished speaking, and threw the scabbard at Lin Manliu, seemingly not worried that he would refuse this request.

The short-shirted boy reached out and took the scabbard, and it was as cold as touching a piece of jade, but the scabbard was wooden and weightless, and it was as if it were nothing in his hand. Lin Manliu took it over but handed it back after a few breaths and said: "I can't see whether the scabbard is good or bad, but it must be excellent, the predecessors will never be able to receive this generous gift to give me a sword, and whether it is a long sword behind me or a coercion, it is a gift from the family teacher and cannot be used for barter, forgive me."

"That's it, I'll give it to you," the man in the yellow shirt didn't take the scabbard, and after saying that, he turned and walked towards the house.
