"It's really annoying, it's raining again, and I don't know what the old man is doing with this Peach Blossom Nunnery here?" Chen Xiuzhe brushed the rain off his sleeve and said scoldingly.

Xu Fuquan held a paper umbrella and smiled slightly: "It will rain when the weather is hot in the south, and you don't know it." Besides, I had already persuaded you to buy an umbrella in a small town thirty miles away, and you didn't want to buy one. ”

"Phew. What does this have to do with the south, I think it's because of your relationship. Wherever you appear, the rain falls. Chen Xiuzhe said helplessly.

Xu Fuquan shook his head and said, "Then do you want me to borrow your corner to block for a while?" ”

"Excuse me! It's so hot, and it's nice to get a little rain and clear your mind. Chen Xiuzhe waved his hand.

"I'm different from you, but I like it in the face of this summer season." Xu Fuquan said lightly.

Chen Xiuzhe was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled: "I forgot, your favorite is the summer that people in the world don't like the most." ”

"Summer is a feature that spring, autumn and winter cannot have. In the early morning, the sound of insects is incessant, which makes people feel relaxed. At noon, you can chop a watermelon in the shade to quench your thirst, and the taste is a little more enjoyable than eating wine. In the evening, the sunset fills the sky like a flame and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. Such a beautiful season can only be revealed in the unique season of summer. Xu Fuquan raised his head and looked at the rain curtain in front of him, full of emotion.

Chen Xiuzhe pursed his lips: "Compared to being a killer, you are still more suitable to test for fame." ”

"I just feel about this summer, and these are not enough to get famous." Xu Fuquan continued to walk forward.

"So you're going to go to Peach Blossom Temple, what are you going to do? Where to stay? Chen Xiuzhe asked.

Xu Fuquan shook his head: "I can't live here for the time being, I want to go back with you, after all, there are still many things to solve in the Xuanwu Pavilion, and I won't let you bear it alone." ”

"Hey, I don't think I'm going to Hengning City." Chen Xiuzhe said with a smile, "A few days ago, I received a letter from Uncle Xiang's Divine Eagle, saying that the divine doctor asked when you would return to Hengning City, and the meaning of the words is that I am waiting for you to come." ”

"Don't you keep joking about me." Xu Fuquan shook his head helplessly, "The place in Hengning City is not simple, there is an academy nearby, and we are always within the range of them, which will inevitably cause a lot of trouble." ”

"Well, you're right, it's time for a different place." Chen Xiuzhe nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you move to Zichuan City, Zichuan is not far from Hengning, and it is also a very beautiful place." Chen Xiuzhe said.

Xu Fuquan frowned slightly: "Have you been there?" ”

"Of course I did, after all, I killed people there." Chen Xiuzhe said faintly

"We're almost there." Xu Fuquan changed the subject.

"Second goods, I always feel that after you came back from the Imperial Capital City, something seems to be wrong with your whole person." Chen Xiuzhe looked at Xu Fuquan, and suddenly his tone became a little solemn, "What happened?" ”

"Nothing. I just learned the truth of some things from Tianzanglou. Xu Fuquan said slowly, but he didn't mean to hide it.

"But you don't seem to want to tell me?" Chen Xiuzhe asked.

Xu Fuquan hesitated: "At that time, I will naturally inform you." ”

"Second goods, do you know why I didn't look at the paper you gave me?" Chen Xiuzhe suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Fuquan seriously.

"I don't know."

"It is true that everything about us is hidden in the Heavenly Treasure Tower, but after all, those things are written by people, as long as they are written by human hand, then it is naturally difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. So I don't even want to look at the piece of paper you gave me about me. One is that I don't care about my past, and the other is that I am afraid that knowing something will affect my judgment in the future. Chen Xiuzhe pursed his lips, "After all, there are some things that I have already decided in my heart." But I also know that you can't let go of those things. ”

Xu Fuquan put away the oil-paper umbrella and looked at the sky: "The rain has stopped." ”

"We're almost there, and there's Peach Blossom Nunnery in front of us." After the two walked through a field full of rice paddies, Chen Xiuzhe pointed ahead, and not far away, you could see a small village, which was the "Peach Blossom Nunnery" where Chen Xiuzhe once brought Xianghezhu

"It looks normal here." Chen Xiuzhe looked at Xu Fuquan and asked.

"Even if it's normal here, wouldn't it be nice to live quietly here?" Xu Fuquan asked rhetorically.

"Okay, I'll let you say anything, what else can I say." Chen Xiuzhe rolled her eyes, suddenly stopped, and looked at the woman at the entrance of the village who was wearing plain clothes and carrying a wooden barrel, "Eh, it's quite a coincidence, the person you want to see is there." ”

"Chaolan." Xu Fuquan smiled faintly, and there was a little more tenderness in his tone.

The wooden bucket in the plain woman's hand fell to the ground, and the water in the wooden bucket splashed on her body, but she didn't realize it. She looked at Xu Fuquan standing beside Chen Xiuzhe blankly, her face was pale and her eyes were red. Xu Fuquan sighed, walked up to her, and called softly again: "Chao Lan......"

Suddenly, the woman threw herself into Xu Fuquan's arms, hugged Xu Fuquan's waist tightly, and cried: "Brother Xu! ”

Chen Xiuzhe walked over slowly, picked up the wooden barrel that fell on the ground, and then wrapped his hands around the two people in front of him.

"Alright, alright." Xu Fuquan patted the plain-clothed woman on the back, "Chaolan, let go, don't let people laugh."

"Brother Xu, didn't you say you would come to see me soon? How did it quickly turn into many years? The woman let go of Xu Fuquan, and her tone was full of complaints.

"It's Brother Xu's fault, a lot of things happened in the pavilion, so I didn't have time to visit Chaolan." Xu Fuquan sighed lightly and pointed at Chen Xiuzhe, "This is Xiuzhe, now the new pavilion master of Xuanwu Pavilion, you must have seen it." ”

Chen Xiuzhe grinned: "Actually, when we were on a mission, we had seen each other before. ”

Hu Chaolan pursed her lips: "I don't want to see this bad thing, he lied to me last time." ”

Chen Xiuzhe laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha." How could I lie to you, you see, isn't your brother Xu here? ”

"Cut. Brother Xu, let's ignore this bad thing. Let's go, go to my house for dinner, I just picked the vegetables, and I learned to boil chicken soup, you can try to see if the chicken soup I boiled is delicious! Hu Chaolan grimaced at Chen Xiuzhe, pulled Xu Fuquan and left.

Chen Xiuzhe was also a little helpless: "The last time I saw you, this girl thought she was quite stable and generous, why did I see your brother Xu today, but instead became a little girl." ”

"Can you handle it?" Hu Chaolan pointed to the room next door, "Don't bother me and Brother Xu, you bad thing, just go to Uncle Tian's house to eat big rice." ”

Chen Xiuzhe scratched his head: "Eh, who is Uncle Tian?" ”

"The chef in our village, you are more suitable to go to Uncle Tian and them to eat." Hu Chaolan replied.

Chen Xiuzhe was stunned: "It turned out to be an uncle....... Wait, you mean I'm an uncle? ”

"Okay Chaolan, don't make trouble." Xu Fuquan stretched out his hand to support his forehead, "Let's eat together." ”

"Okay, since Brother Xu has spoken, then listen to Brother Xu, and we will eat together." Hu Chaolan let go of his hand, "Then come with me." After finishing speaking, Hu Chaolan jumped forward and walked forward.

"Last time I came, it felt the same as you." Chen Xiuzhe spread his hands and said, "Why did you become a little girl again?" ”

"She's always been a little girl." Xu Fuquan followed with a smile, "This is the Peach Blossom Temple." ”

"Why is it Peach Blossom Temple?" Chen Xiuzhe looked at Xu Fuquan, who was sighing all the time, and had a headache.

"Isn't it one of the happiest things in life to be able to calmly discuss some issues of eating and drinking?"

"Hehehe, you're right."

A simple and tidy room, a small wooden table, with a vegetarian, chicken soup and a pot of rice.

Chen Xiuzhe glanced around the room, thinking about the gold in the room under Youdu Village, so he sighed and said, "Why don't I send someone to send some gold after I go back this time..." …...”

"What do you want gold for?" Hu Chaolan said after putting down the three people's dishes and chopsticks.

"Xuanwu Pavilion can earn so much gold from the work it does in a year, but it makes Taohua'an look like a poor village, and the old man was too picky before." Chen Xiuzhe replied.

"Our village has three meals a day, and there is meat and wine at every meal, can this be called poor? I don't think you've ever seen a poor thing. There is also a small village in the back mountain, and it is a great thing to be able to eat a meal of white rice in that year. Hu Chaolan took the bowl with a good meal, "If you want to eat, you can eat, and if you don't eat, you will go to Uncle Tian's house to eat." ”

"In the past, the master was also thinking about the safety of this place, after all, many people were staring at that time, and if he was not careful, this place would probably be destroyed." Xu Fuquan smiled and filled a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Chen Xiuzhe: "Besides, before we were given a surname and a name, how could we drink a mouthful of chicken soup?" ”

"Harm, do we have money now, just take a piece of the gold bricks in that room and give this village a little better life." Chen Xiuzhe said loudly.

"Ignore him, he was used to being poor before, but now he suddenly has money, and he starts to show off." Xu Fuquan also served himself a bowl of chicken soup.

Chen Xiuzhe choked after taking a sip of chicken soup, and retorted loudly after relieving himself: "Hey, hey, what do you mean that I suddenly show off when I am rich, I have always been very rich, have you forgotten that I gave you a piece of silver buried in the ground of Hengning City?" ”

"Our village is fine here, we don't need your gold and silver." Hu Chaolan was unmoved, eating rice calmly, "Do you know who lives here?"

"I still need you to say that living here is nothing more than people who are related to the old Xuanwu, but they don't want to be involved in the disputes of the rivers and lakes anymore." Chen Xiuzhe replied.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Three non-slow "knock", "knock", "knock".

Chen Xiuzhe flicked his sleeves slightly, and the Tang knife hanging on his waist had already landed on the palm of his hand.

"Rest assured, we're safe here." Hu Chaolan waved at Chen Xiuzhe, then walked to the door and opened the door.

Xu Fuquan and Chen Xiuzhe glanced at each other, and they both saw the vigilance in each other's eyes, because the person at the door was a little strong.
