The farmer seemed to be very satisfied with the young man's reply, and was stroking his beard in the pavilion and laughing, and before Lin Manliu could continue to move, he began to move.

I saw that the farmer had his hands behind him, and then stepped out of the air, and jumped directly into the lotus leaf field between Lin Manliu, and his figure was actually a few steps in the air, as if he had stepped on the lotus leaf leaves, and then appeared in front of the short-shirted boy five steps away, and the sleeves and hem of his body were not contaminated with any dust.

When he and Ye Dangting hurried back before, they had also seen the old liar show off in front of him, but he was not as elegant and agile as the middle-aged man in front of him, and he couldn't help but start to have some doubts in his heart, he and Ye Dangting had also passed by this lotus bay when they returned together, even if they had never seen this person, but the pavilion here would be seen for the first time today.

The onlookers looked at the eyes and attitude of the farmer, as if they had known each other for a long time, and they were full of admiration and praise, not like a passing Jianghu guest, but more like a native of this place.

Seeing the puzzled look on the young man's face, the smile on the farmer's face became a little thicker, and he coughed lightly and said, "Ahem... Little friend, I don't know what to call it yet".

"Boy Lin Manliu, recently traveled alone in the Shu area, today happened to pass through Lotus Bay, happened to meet a senior here" Lin Manliu replied.

"There's no need to call me a senior, just call me Uncle Qing, a layman, just like to play in the mountains and rivers here," the farmer said aloud.

"I've seen Uncle Qing".

"Are you going to Rongcheng, look at the direction of the road" Uncle Qing turned sideways, pushed forward with one hand, and motioned for the young man to move forward with him.

"Yes, I originally planned to enter Rongcheng before sunset today, but some time ago I walked too much in the mountain road, and after entering Lotus Bay today, I found that I was wearing clothes, which was really a bit unbearable, and I planned to enter Rongcheng again tomorrow, and I had to find a place to rest and tidy up today" Lin Manliu said his own arrangement, leading the thin yellow horse and the cropper man to move forward together.

The two walked together on the village road, and from time to time there would be village women picking up lotus leaves and men busy in the fields on the side of the road, greeting Uncle Qing, and the farmer could call out each other's names one by one to greet him.

In the subsequent chat, Lin Manliu learned that this farmer who called himself Uncle Qing, whose real name is Qinglan, is a northerner who has traveled south for more than a year, and has been in this Lotus Bay for more than a year, and has nothing to do to help the villagers in Lotus Bay provide some planting methods and harvest proposals, and the follow-up response is particularly good, and the villagers here are naturally very happy to see this middle-aged man who brings the harvest to the entire Lotus Bay.

Under the leadership of Qing Lan, the young man came to a post station in Lotus Bay, Qing Lan chatted with the post station shopkeeper for a while, and then told Lin Manliu to make arrangements with the post station, so that the young man did not have to mind staying here today.

After Lin Manliu placed Xiao Huang in place, the two found a free table and chair and sat down, and it didn't take long for the innkeeper to come to the table with a plate of lotus seeds.

"Thanks to Uncle Qing's help, the lotus flowers will definitely bloom better this year than last year, this is a little bit of my heart from Lao Yang, I don't charge money" After the shopkeeper put down the lotus seeds, he said with a smile.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Yang," Qinglan nodded to him in thanks.

"Thank you, shopkeeper Yang," Lin Manliu also hurriedly followed to thank him.

After the shopkeeper left, Qing Lan pushed the plate of lotus seeds in front of the short-shirted boy, "Manliu Xiaoyou, you must taste it much fresher than the lotus seeds outside."

Lin Manliu twisted a lotus seed in his hand, and did not rush to put it in his mouth, but began to look at it carefully, muttering that it was the first time he had seen a lotus seed, and he had never said such words before.

Qinglan guessed the young man's thoughts, so she picked one up and put it into her mouth, "Now the six little friends can rest assured."

"Be cautious when you go out, Uncle Qing forgive me" Lin Manliu saw that the cropper in front of him said his thoughts, so he had to apologize and say, and after finishing speaking, he put the lotus seed in his hand into his mouth.

After the lotus seed is sent into the mouth, there is a slight astringent taste at first, and then the sweetness of the lotus seed enters the mouth, and when it bites into the heart of the lotus, it begins to become a little bitter, and the young man's face begins to become a little strange.

Seeing this scene, Qing Lan laughed out loud: "It seems that the six little friends have never eaten lotus seeds, it should be true, although this lotus heart is bitter, it is also a good medicine, don't spit it out..."

It wasn't until Lin Manliu put the lotus seeds in his mouth into his stomach that the young man opened his mouth to gasp, looking extremely embarrassed, and seeing that Qinglan at the opposite table was laughing, the young man had to look at the plate of lotus seeds on the table in embarrassment.

"Do you know why I want to be good friends with you" Qing Lan saw that the young man in the short shirt didn't speak, so she began to ask out loud, wanting to come back as far as possible.

"Naturally, it's not because I'm quick with my sword," Lin Manliu replied casually.

"Indeed, the reason why I really want to get to know Man Liuxiao is that after you took out the sword, after you knew that your method was not considered, you didn't just retreat or continue to trouble the man, but apologized to the villagers around you" Qing Lan twisted another lotus seed and put it into her mouth.

"I have traveled in the mountains and rivers and countryside, and I am surrounded by these unarmed and hard-working people, if we have artifacts in our hands that can threaten others or bring benefits to ourselves, and we don't know how to protect the former, but use our own strengths to oppress the former, then what is the meaning of these weapons in our hands" Lin Manliu also twisted a lotus seed up, but did not send it to his mouth.

"Soldiers, when the troubled times are overturned, the world can be leveled, and when the country is stable, the rivers and mountains can be protected. Although we are just idle passers-by in this prosperous world, we must not forget our roots after all, and we must not turn the blade to ourselves, to the weak who have survived the troubled times," Qinglan said lightly on the table.

"What Uncle Qing said is what Man Liu thinks," the short-shirted young man replied, and after finishing speaking, he put the lotus seed he had just twisted into his mouth.

"What the six little friends said is no different from me, it's really rare at such an age, there must be a great Confucian in my hometown to teach," Qinglan said with one hand stroking his beard.

"Uh... There is very little homework in the Manliu Academy, these truths are what the master says on weekdays, and a general in Rongcheng told me" Lin Manliu scratched his head awkwardly and said, and the young man began to smile a little when he talked about the master.

"When the family teacher teaches the skills of the six little friends, he can also talk about these truths with the little friends, he must be a good teacher, such a high-spirited and bright person, he will also get acquainted with him in the future," Qinglan said with emotion.

"It's true that the master is like this, before I met the master, I was just a child who wandered around and played in the market all day, even if I knew these things, I wouldn't use them to restrain myself," Lin Manliu said loudly.

"Even if the master can teach, the disciple needs to want to learn, and the six little friends don't need to be humble!" Qinglan raised her hand and knocked on the table again, and said with a smile.

"Uncle Qing's false praise..."Lin Manliu chewed the lotus seeds, and Qinglan's praise made the young man a little unnatural, because for the young man, he had never encountered some people and things that he didn't know what he thought in his heart, and he had seen them after his long journey, and he would only do them under the influence of the master and the old liar, and not everything revolved around these principles.

"Have you ever heard of the evil slaughter in the Lingnan area" Suddenly, Qing Lan's voice was lowered, but the young man was still able to take his words into his ears.

Lin Manliu was stunned for a moment for the incident of the slaughtering of the evil sect suddenly mentioned by the farmer in front of him, and after thinking about whether to tell him what he thought in his heart, and after analyzing with the old liar on the way, he could still see some clues of this slaughtering evil gate.

Seeing that the short-shirted young man in front of him was deep in thought, Qinglan knew that the young man must know about it, so she began to eat lotus seeds by herself and wait for the young man's reply.

"I've heard a little bit about Lingnan," Lin Manliu replied aloud, in order to reduce some unnecessary trouble, the young man planned to hide some things he knew.

"Some time ago, at the beginning of summer, this evil slaughter gate suddenly appeared in the Yuezhou area, and started the first battle with the wind and snow Daguanlou..."Qing Lan began to speak.

"I only heard about this matter after I went out, this slaughtering evil door is really treacherous, the previous master told me that there is no such possibility in the follow-up of the deduction, and the result was only a few days after going out to receive the news" Lin Manliu replied loudly, the first battle of the Fengxue Daguanlou Slaughtering Evil Gate was actually told by Ye Dangting secretly before going out, and even had a rough description of the enemy's situation and time, and then it was inconvenient to talk to Qinglan in detail.

Pretending not to know, concealing that he knows about this, he will definitely be known by the farmer in front of him, so that the other party's trust in him will inevitably decrease, Lin Manliu can only say this after weighing it again and again, he is really helpless.

"How do you think these people are acting, they are really punishing evil and slaughtering evil, and they are doing good deeds?" Qinglan asked directly.

"According to the rumors, the charges of the Tu Sect were all told to the local area, and there is a lot of corroboration, which can explain the truth of the matter, but this trip is tantamount to countering violence with violence, killing to stop killing, after all, it is not the best policy, not even the middle policy" Lin Manliu pondered for a moment and replied aloud.

"That's true, although the slaughter of the evil sect is to kill some local cholera sects, but afterwards the place did not become better because of the scattering of those sects, but caused greater hidden dangers, if it were not for the subsequent intervention of the government, it would be inevitable that the people would not be able to make a living," Qinglan said loudly.

"The southern rivers and lakes are dominated by these martial arts sects, and the Wind and Snow Daguanlou is the first to bear the brunt, and now it is also at war with the evil sect, and the rivers and lakes after that will not be comfortable for long..."

"Since before the unification of mountains and rivers, there has been a pattern in the southern rivers and lakes, how can such a hundred years of precipitation be suddenly overturned by a force..."Lin Manliu was a little puzzled by Qing Lan's words, and began to mutter.

"Alas... This piece of rivers and lakes is already old," Qinglan said after sighing, and after speaking, she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the post station.
