"This cow!"

In the creek and ditch next to the field, Bai Yan led the old cow, watched a lump of cow feces fall to the ground, pretended to pinch his nose and got up, and directly amused the small bundle on the cow's back.

Xiao Shu'er looked excited, brandished a wooden sword, and kept shouting the name of 'Zhan Lu' in the milky voice.

Now.

Although Xiao Shu'er is young, it does not hinder her, looking at the children standing by the village road in the distance, her heart is full of contentment.

In this village, Xiao Shu'er had never seen that child, and who could ride a tall and strong old ox like him, and still hold a majestic wooden sword in his hand.

looked at the little uncle on the side with admiration, at this time, in the eyes of Xiao Shu'er, the little uncle was so great, not only took him to 'ride', but also gave him a 'sword', and even the little uncle promised him to take him to see the real General Bai Yan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shu'er suddenly thought of yesterday's events, the smile on her face gradually dissipated, and her little eyes were a little red.

Shu'er clearly remembered that yesterday the other children in the village laughed at him, saying that the people in the village had said that his little uncle had lied, and that it was impossible for his little uncle to take him to General Bai Yan, so that he would not dream, and laughed at him for being a fool.

"Shu'er, it's time to come down!"

When she was a little sad, her father's voice came, Xiao Shu'er heard this, turned her head to look, and when she saw her father's frowning appearance, Xiao Shu'er was a little scared.

For a while, Xiao Shu'er didn't dare to disobey her father's words, but she was really reluctant to go on, so Xiao Shu'er looked at her little uncle.

"Brother, let Shu'er play again! The old cow is not full, so he is not in a hurry at this time! ”

Bai Yan couldn't help but smile when he saw his nephew's little eyes, looked at his brother and said.

"Alas, Brother Yan, how can you spoil your children more than your father and mother!"

Shui Shou looked at Bai Yan helplessly, sighed, and frowned slightly at his eldest son Shu'er.

In fact, Shui Shou didn't know in his heart that as Shu'er's father, he owed Shu'er a little bit to Shu'er, just like riding an old cow, but because of his inconvenient legs and feet, he didn't dare to let Shu'er go up for too long many times, worried that if the old cow suddenly moved, Shu'er would fall down, and he, as a father, would not be able to catch it.

It's just that......

Shui Shou looked at his middle brother, the middle brother finally came back, the people in the village didn't like the middle brother before, yesterday in order to coax the child, the words that the middle brother said, now the village took it behind his back.

As a brother, Shui Shou really didn't want to see it, and the middle brother who had just returned to the village was talked about by the villagers behind his back because of his son.

"Shou! Come here, someone is looking for it! ”

Suddenly, there was a voice in the distance, and Shui Shou turned his head to look and saw a villager, standing on the village path, shouting loudly.

Seeing this, Shui Shou was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand who would look for him, but he still got up slowly with a stick, and after glancing at Bai Yan, he limped towards home.

Bai Yan also felt a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, and continued to tease his nephew, enjoying this hard-won quiet and comfortable.

There is no intrigue in the court, no killing and bloodshed on the battlefield, no death and threats around, holding the old cow and teasing the nephew, not to mention enjoying more.

However, after a long time, Bai Yan, who had never seen his brother come back, teased Shu'er, felt a little strange, thought about it, so he took the old cow and walked in the direction of Shu'er's home.

Small yard.

Seeing a few villagers watching, Bai Yan was a little puzzled, but there was no movement like yesterday, which also reassured Bai Yan that something should not have happened.

"Ho ho ho!"

Tethering the old cow to the wooden pillar on the side, Bai Yan led his nephew, who was constantly waving a wooden sword to cut weeds, and came to the small garden, and then saw his brother and father, who seemed to be talking to a few men.

This scene made Bai Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, especially the man in charge was dressed in a silk robe, and when he turned his head to look at it, the straight eyes would unnaturally perceive the pressure for ordinary cultivators.

These people are not ordinary people!!

"This is my middle brother! Spread out! ”

When Shui Shou saw Bai Yan coming back, he introduced Bai Yan to several men with a smile on his face.

"Yan?"

The man in silk at the head glanced at Bai Yan up and down, but the purpose of this trip was not the man named Yan, so he didn't take it to heart, and continued to turn his head to look at Shui Shou and ask about blisters.

"Before, in Bo Mushroom, you remember, who did Blister have been favored?"

The man in silk asked about Shui Shou.

At this time, the man had already determined that the matter he wanted to investigate had nothing to do with the man named Shui Shou in front of him, after all, he looked at Xiao Yuan in front of him! Old wooden house! And the family who lives in this garden!

This has nothing to do with what happened in Bo Mushroom City.

"Blisters?"

Shui Shou looked at the middle brother and picked up his son and walked over, and when he heard the words of the adult in front of him, he was surprised, but after thinking about it for a long time, Shui Shou couldn't remember it, so he could only shake his head.

"My lord, the grass people don't know, who is the grace of the blister!"

Shui Shou bent down and said to the man.

Maybe it's nervous at the moment, maybe it's scared, Shui Shou's honest cheeks are a little swollen, looking at the man frowning slightly, turning around to leave, or stepping forward.

"My lord, what did you do?"

Shui Shou excitedly held the crutches, limped quickly to the man, and then released the crutches, knelt on the ground, and asked the man in front of him full of pleading.

Don't look at Shui Shou who is lame with a leg now, he is a crippled person, but as for who helped him in Bo Mushroom City, Shui Shou is not only very clear, but also has always remembered it, but he is just suffering from the inability to repay the favor.

Now looking at the man in front of him suddenly coming, asking about the blister, how Shui Shou is not nervous, if something really happens to the blister, Shui Shou has to try his best to repay the favor no matter what, even if he is lame.

"Shou'er!"

Yan's father and Xiao Shi were all shocked when they saw their eldest son blocking the way, but as parents, the two of them naturally knew why the eldest son was so reckless.

"Mother!"

Shui Shou kowtowed to the man, and then hurriedly took out the cloth clothes, but found that it was empty, and in a hurry, he hurriedly looked at his mother.

When the Xiao family saw the eldest son looking over, he didn't understand what it meant, so he hurriedly took out the money that he was reluctant to spend in the past, a total of more than a dozen, and all of them came forward and handed them to the eldest son.

Yun Han also held the child while taking out the money on his body with difficulty and taking it to Shui Shou.

"My lord, please let me know the grass people! What did the blister do? ”

Shui Shou looked at the more than twenty coins in his hand, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, looking at the man in silk with pleading, and then at the other men.

The man in silk looked at Shui Shou with a pleading face, looking at the more than 20 money in his hand, this money is not much, but it is by no means small, for the man in silk clothes, it is dispensable, whether you take it or not depends on the mood.

However, when I thought of the other people around me, they were all busy all the way, whether it was tea or going to a restaurant to drink, the money was enough.

Thinking of this, the man in silk looked at the other men beside him who had already brightened their eyes, and looked at one of the men who understood and stepped forward to take Shui Shou's money.

"Not a crime......

The man in silk said.

Immediately afterwards, they roughly informed Shui Shou of what happened in Bo Mushroom City, the reward they received, and the purpose of their group, but because of the sensitive identity of the pro-Wu Liejun, and the fact that it could not be passed on, Qin Wuliejun was not mentioned.

After saying more than ten words, the man in the silk dress took people away, and after the other men got the money and demolished, Fang Cai had a tired and impatient look, which was already invisible, and the few people who were full of joy left much briskly.

"Hiss~!"

Yan's father and Xiao Shi glanced at each other, and when they heard that the eldest son's benefactor, Blister, had been rewarded with enough money and wealth in Bo Mushroom City to have food and clothing for the rest of his life, they all took a breath.

Gold!!!

It's still a piece of !!

Thinking of this, the two of them have grown so big, and they have never seen so much gold in their lives!

"Brother! Get up! ”

Bai Yan didn't know when, he had already put down the bundle and came to Shui Shou's side to support his brother who was distracted.

"Beware!"

Xiao Shi also hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the wooden stick on the ground, patted Shui Shou kneeling on the ground and stained the mud clothes, got up and handed the wooden stick to the eldest son.

"Shou'er! Now you can rest assured, good people have good rewards! ”

Xiao Shi said softly, looking at Shui Shou who was in a trance, he also smiled, and sincerely felt happy for the benefactor of his eldest son.

I heard the man just say that Na Blister not only got a piece of gold, but also a string of hundreds of dollars, which could not be counted, not to mention the food and drink for a lifetime, even the clothes he wore in the future, which should be beautiful and thick, and he could no longer be cold.

"Hmmm......"

Shui Shou's face was confused, he finally came back to his senses, looked at the middle brother who was supporting him beside him, nodded to indicate that it was okay, and when he heard his mother's words, he turned his head to look at his mother and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't have the ability to repay his kindness, now that he heard these things about his benefactor, Shui Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when he thought of the money he had just given away, Shui Shou felt a little guilty, glanced at his mother, then at his father, and then at his middle brother beside him.

"Daddy, middle brother! Just ......"

Shui Shou knew that his mother had always been reluctant to spend that money, and she had always been ready to give Brother Yan the money to marry his wife before he met his wife.

Now, he has squandered it like this!

"Brother! Don't think about it! A family, have you ever spoken two words! ”

Bai Yan seemed to sense his brother's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile and comfort, signaling that they were a family, and not to talk to their family in an outsider's tone.

Looking at his father's smile, as well as his brother's honest face, there was still a little guilty, Bai Yan no longer paid attention to his brother, and saw Wei Lao, who had gotten up early and had never seen anyone, suddenly returned to Xiaoyuan.

"Teacher!"

Bai Yan sensed that Wei Lao had something to say, so he glanced at his family behind the courtyard, walked towards Wei Lao, and left with Wei Lao at the suggestion of Wei Lao.

"Uncle Uncle!!"

Xiao Shu'er's voice sounded, and Xiao Shi, Shui Shou and others all thought that Wei Lao was going to take Bai Yan to learn carving, so they hurriedly stopped Xiao Shu'er, who wanted to go with him.

Don't talk about Shui Shou at this moment, it is Shui Shou's wife Yun Han, who looks at the eldest son helplessly, how can the young eldest son be so close to the younger uncle.

The other side.

On the edge of the field, Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slips brought back by Wei Lao, one was about the things in Linzi City, the eldest son was promoted, and after bringing back the old man who wrote the book, now in Linzi City, all the voices of the old man were talking about it.

The other is the news from the north, Li Xin has taken the iron cavalry and the side cavalry, and made a surprise attack and entered the territory of the Qi State, and the speed is far beyond the expectations of Bai Yan and Wei Lao.

Obviously, behind such a smooth process, I am afraid that Tian Wei, Tian Cong, and Lin Anshun are helping to transfer the defenses in the city along the way.

"Tian Jiao, the old man has ordered someone to help you keep an eye on it, if you want to take revenge, these two days are your best chance!"

Wei Lao looked at a rural field, the mountains in the distance, and said softly.

The iron cavalry will arrive soon, and after Tian Jiao hears the wind, he will definitely be afraid, and like those scholars in Linzi City, he will leave Linzi in advance and flee for his life in a hurry.

"Disciple, thank you, teacher!"

When Bai Yan heard Wei Lao's words, he looked at Wei Lao with gratitude and bowed his hand.

"Humph! If you really have the heart to thank you, you will put away your foolish loyalty to Yingzheng in the future! Ying Zheng is not a kind-hearted king! What's more, the court of the Qin State, there are so many of your political enemies, they are all looking forward to your death! ”

Wei Lao turned his head angrily, glanced at Bai Yan, and then turned around and walked along the path, as if he was going to visit the village.

Bai Yan raised his hand, got up and looked at Wei Lao's back, his face couldn't cry or laugh, although he didn't speak, but in his heart, he understood how much the old man in cloth in front of him cared about him.

………………………

Under dusk.

In Linzi City, in a delicately decorated and particularly spacious mansion, a famous maid and servant come and go from time to time.

In a study, a man in silk knelt on the ground.

"My lord, I have already gone to investigate, and the man named Shou has nothing to do with Blister!"

If Shui Shou and Bai Yan were here, they would definitely notice that this man in silk clothes was the man who went to their house before and asked about blisters.

"Alas!"

Tian Dan and Tian Rong, hearing the man's words, looked at each other helplessly, although they did not hold out hope, but there was no news for a long time, and there was no clue, which couldn't help but make people a little tired.

"Why is that Bai Yan obviously a Qi person, but the entire Qi country can't find his origin?"

Tian Dan got up, walked two steps, looked out of the wooden window, the beautiful scenery of the yard, frowned and said.

"Have you asked about the man named Shou?"

Tian Rong listened to Tian Dan's words, his brows were tightened, but he couldn't answer, so he could only look at the man in silk and ask.

Hearing this, the man in the silk dress told the matter in detail and completely, except for the matter of accepting the money, of course.

"Parents, wife, middle brother, have a boy and a daughter......! You say his middle brother is named Yan? ”

Tian Heng was on the side, and when he heard the words of the man in silk, he suddenly became curious, especially when he accidentally heard the man say that the middle brother of Shui Shou was named Yan.

When he saw the eyes of his brothers Tian Dan and Tian Rong, Tian Heng calmed down and regained his senses, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Not to mention that the man named Yan is Shui Shou's own brother, and Shui Shou and Shui Yan both live in Shui Village, and the man has confirmed with the villagers and seen it with his own eyes.

"My lord! My lord! My lord!! ”

Suddenly, a Hu Cong hurriedly came to the study, reported to Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Tian Heng and others, reported to the king of Qi and Gongzisheng, and invited the old man to go to the Jixia School Palace.

"What !!"

Hearing Hu Cong's words, Tian Dan was distracted, and even Tian Rong and Tian Heng suddenly got up, glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the study with Tian Dan.

Bai Yan has already left Linzi City, before finding out Bai Yan's origin, the most important thing for Qi State at the moment is the old man invited back by Gongzi, Tian Dan, Tian Rong, and Tian Heng, who have been waiting anxiously since yesterday, wanting to see the old man in person and ask him to help Qi fight against Qin.

And Tian Heng just stepped out of the door before leaving the study, thought about it, hesitated but stopped, and turned his head to look at the man in silk.

"You have painted a portrait of the man named Yan from Fangcai! Put it in the study here! ”

Tian Heng instructed.

"No!"

The man in silk got up, watched Tian Heng leave in a hurry, and hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Seeing that the maid who was scouting on the side had turned around to get a pen and cloth, the man in silk came to the wooden table, picked up the pen and ink, and thought that when he was in the water village, he saw the young man named Yan, and while reminiscing, he began to draw seriously, for fear that there would be a difference in appearance.
