Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 3 The Girl is Shy

People come and go in Lotus Alley, and people of all kinds of costumes shuttle through the alley, bargaining, laughing and scolding endlessly.

Although Yunxi Town, at the junction of the two countries, was temporarily spared from the impact of the war, the drought and natural disasters in successive years made it even more difficult for the poor to make a living.

In fact, Wang Xiaoer's New Year, every year is not as good as a year.

The golden antiques of the troubled times, even if they have not been to the school for a few days, they are quite a bit "Zuyin", and they are not the last resort, and they are easily unwilling to show others, and it is the turbulent situation that makes the people of Li people learn to think of snakes.

The broken son of the town, who is known as the squire of the Great Zhou Rite Department of the ancestral official residence, is just a nominal flower shelf in his generation, and there is no way but pawn to live.

Arrogant and lascivious, one day at a time, and then on a snowy day that is rare in ten years, he became a frozen bone on the side of the street.

Even the swarthy man in the next room to Xia Ze had a lot of thought when he sold the jade pen and inkstone to the two grandchildren.

The inkstone can give the world ink aura, turning thousands of words into a villain on paper, and the jade pen is 80 million words written on paper, and one by one eats into the stomach of the person holding the pen, warming and nourishing the human body's acupoints, and the veritable belly has poetry and calligraphy.

The jade pen is emerald green, without a trace of impurities, there will be a little drop of dew from time to time in the gap between the pen barrel, dog days can make people like to the ice room, refreshing, in fact, the formation inside the jade pen due to improper preservation, has long been a line of rotten wood, if the style of the old master to use, it is harmless.

But if the physical and mental immaturity of Meng Tong controls this thing, the avenue is hopeless, and it is very likely to bruise the five internal organs and lose the longevity.

The gray-robed man stepped forward and arched his hand: "In Xia Yao's life, what is this little brother called?" ”

Xia Ze looked at the man, thinking that this was probably the elders of these three, and the dress was probably from an official family or a famous family from elsewhere.

Then he smiled and said: "Don't give your surname Xia, and your single name is a Ze character." ”

The girl squeezed in front of the gray-robed man and smiled: "My name is Mu Tao!" The wood of the wood falls to the south of the wild goose, and the peach blossoms on the human face reflect the red peach. ”

With bright eyes and bright teeth, and crooked eyebrows and eyes, Xia Ze only felt that the world was spinning.

The white-clothed young man, who was a little fat, turned his back and stuffed the two lions into the baggage, but the rattles and snacks in the baggage were scattered all over the ground.

grinning and hurriedly surrendering his hand: "My name is Fu Qi!" ”

The one holding the sword stood aside with his head tilted, and it took a long time to reluctantly squeeze out two words from his nostrils: "Li You." ”

The girlish man called Mu Tao didn't fight in one place, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and planted a chestnut on the back of Li You's head, and the young man who was in pain jumped up and down, without the swordsman's bones.

"The master said that you must be polite when walking the rivers and lakes! You've forgotten again! Mu Tao Liu's eyebrows were upside down, his hands were on his waist, and he was about to fight.

There is a way that one thing descends one thing, and Li You had no choice but to move to Yao Ming's side in a huff.

"This is the first time that the little brother has been a headhunter this year?" Seeing Xia Ze nodded, he said again, "Our four uncles and nephews came from Da Zhou, in order to find the ancestral grave of the Mu family in Yunxi Town, and let Miss Mu Tao recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.

"Everything is negotiable".

Xia Ze looked at the three of them dressed up and behaved, all revealing the bearing of the qi refiners on the mountain. Although Yao Ming didn't say it explicitly, there was no doubt that the four of them were from the mountain.

A few years ago, the two big mountains in the north of Yunxi Town, the horse crying tomb under the Tongzi Peak and the Hulu Peak, was an ancient battlefield site, and many people did not know what to do with the flying immortals and martial artists who fought here for three years, and finally all fell here, and the horses that were all sore wandered in the valley, screaming and roaring, so it was named.

There is a doubtful saying that headhunters take people into the mountains, and what they consume is the ancestral Yin of their ancestral mountain.

Headhunters are divided into upper and lower grades, and the upper class is called Feishu. This kind of headhunter does not need to solicit their own business, success once has the best golden signboard, if there are foreigners want to hire, just tie the talisman to the pigeon's leg to release it, if the headhunter has the heart to take it, the pigeon on the talisman will be taken off and ignited, the buyer and seller will have a sense, representing half of the success of the transaction.

Feishu Headhunter can make a certain share with the buyer after the business is concluded, and if Feishu Headhunter suffers misfortune, the buyer also needs to pay Feishu Headhunter a considerable amount of compensation.

The second is Xia Ze's kind, hanging a wheat ring on the door, that is, knotting grass, the price is no different from Feishu, and life and death are at your own risk.

Xia Ze muttered in his heart, this old man doesn't dislike his young age, he lets himself be a headhunter straight to the point, I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd, is it possible that there is really some treasure hidden in this pile of rags on his stall, so that he can see it right.

The day before yesterday, the beggar did not let himself beg for a fortune calculation, after the hexagram came out, the old man's face was so blue that it was terrifying, saying that this was a hexagram of great luck and great evil, if he was seeking wealth and nobility in danger, I am afraid that he would not be able to finish his life, and he should know that he could stop his loss only if he retreated.

After a long time, he said slowly, "It's not difficult for me to take Mu Tao's little sister to find her ancestors, but my reward may not be too cheap." ”

"But it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't cost 120,000 taels of gold, my coffin can still afford it."

The young man opposite stretched out his hands: "I don't want money, just ten ultimatums." ”

As soon as these words came out, Rao is temperament and temperament were quite good, and Fu Qi exclaimed: "Ultimatum paperwork!" Ten sheets? Boss Xia, you are too dark, and you are not a small official escorting prisoners, what do you want so many ultimatum documents. Fu Qi tucked the treasure in his arms, and muttered in his heart that he could take this treasure from the hands of the lion-mouthed Xia shopkeeper, it was really blessed by the ancestors.

Mu Tao didn't squeak, and quickly guessed one or two.

Now that the Great Zhou and the Great Qi are tense, a protracted war is inevitable, Yunxi Town is in a rather embarrassing position, and neither of the two monarchs is willing to take the lead in tearing their faces, so as not to fall into the infamy of being unkind.

In this year, every household has to be managed by the government yamen, and without the apical documents hand-picked by the yamen, they cannot go anywhere, and every time they pass the household registration place, they will be subject to strict interrogation, and if they leave the household registration place, they will automatically be regarded as leaving the country, which is a felony to kill the head.

Visionaries, spend a little money, up and down, can get one or two already big faces.

Yao ordered to bargain: "Ten ultimatums are a bit difficult...... Five"

"Ten is no problem, and I will give you another chance." A woman's voice rang out.

Xia Ze followed the direction where the voice came, the person who came was a cold-looking girl, ignoring the three men and one woman in front of the stall as if they were nothing, looking at the objects on the stall as they walked, muttering in their hearts that they were all tattered and defective products, and as a result, he stepped on the corner of Mu Tao's clean toe without paying attention.

Mu Tao was so angry that he was about to do it. The woman bowed respectfully: "The little woman is abrupt, she has offended the girl, and I hope to pray for atonement." ”

The etiquette of words and deeds is just right, but the face is still as cold as an iceberg, which makes the peach gas on the side of the mouth become a goldfish with bulging cheeks, just now she taught Li You to walk the rivers and lakes to understand etiquette, this time I had to eat this breath.

Xia Ze looked carefully from head to toe at this girl who didn't know whether she knew how to know the etiquette, curled in green clothes, a pair of white slender jade hands under long sleeves, and a silver bracelet hanging on her wrist.

This girl is very good-looking, if she doesn't speak, Xia Ze thinks that what she is in front of is a fairy penned by an immortal, that is, this light makeup is placed on the face of other women, and it is excellent on her face, the fly in the ointment is that she is wearing a pair of peach-colored shoes under her feet, and her face is impeccable, but the understanding of the matching of clothes is unique.

Mu Tao said: "This girl, I'm sorry, we came first in this business, you interrupted halfway, don't you follow the rules." ”

The woman didn't look at her, walked straight to Xia Ze, and said lightly: "Only when you come to the door to propose relatives does you pay attention to come first and then arrive, but this also has to be nodded by the old man, right?" Besides, you have to bargain, but I don't like it. ”

"Let me see your pendant." Xia Ze saw that the woman's face was getting closer and closer, completely ignoring the white eyes of several people behind him, and pressed him back to the chair who was just about to get up, the latter leaned on the chair, grabbed the jade pendant on Xia Ze's neck and saw that it was a little foggy.

"How so, how could it be, it really was." The woman's voice was a little choked.

The Taishi chair made of rattan shook slightly, and the woman's face was close to his chest from time to time, Xia Ze was so angry that he was shocked: "This girl looks very good, but her brain is not very good." ”

Catching a glimpse of Mu Tao's disdainful eyes on the other side, Xia Ze was like sitting on pins and needles.

"Rude!" Li You turned his palm into a circle, thundered loudly in his palm, stepped forward, and slashed at the woman.

Xia Ze on the rattan chair, his mouth was wide open but he couldn't make a sound, so he was thrown onto the roof in a daze and sat on the eaves.

The locals who are in the womb do not know the doorway, stretch their necks to see the excitement, and the nearby outsiders saw two groups of people making moves, and hurriedly retreated to avoid being affected by this fight, and some people in the crowd sighed, this young man's inheritance is not simple, and it is actually the thunder in the hands of the thunder law to deter demons and evils, and to frighten ghosts and gods.

The woman in Tsing Yi tapped her toes lightly, her figure flashed quickly, and whenever Li You thought that she was going to succeed, she frequently missed, and she didn't even touch the corners of her clothes, but smashed the road in Lotus Lane into potholes.

The woman's palms flew up and down, smashing the splashed gravel with ease.

Li You at this end was a little annoyed, this was clearly a cat teasing the mouse, bullying him The thunder in his palm was not skilled, the horse stood still, his palms were in the air, and the lion opened his mouth, and the thunder and lightning gushed out from the tiger's mouth.

The woman in Tsing Yi stood still, no longer leaving her hand, and a silver needle slipped from her sleeve and shot out towards Li You.

Yao Ming's eyes widened angrily: "Be merciful!" Take a break from your life! ”

It was too late, the flying needle broke through the thunder and lightning, and stabbed into Li You's palm with a whoosh, his eyes were black, Yao's figure flashed, and he came behind Li You, slapped his back with a palm, and a wisp of domineering true qi poured in.

Li You let out a bang at his forearm, and then fell to the ground foaming at the mouth and convulsed.
