Xu Huaigu turned his head to look suspiciously, but saw the man standing not far behind him, his eyebrows and eyes furrowed, and his face was anxious.

The height of that life is about the same height as Xu Huaigu, but his face does not have Xu Huaigu's fierce air at all, but looks very gentle. Look at the brown rushan on his body, the fabric is soft and smooth, it is not ordinary people's clothes, and his family background should be relatively generous.

Xu Huaigu asked him, "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

When he heard that Xu Huaigu did not refuse immediately, he immediately felt hopeful, and hurriedly stepped forward respectfully, and then prepared to kneel.

Xu Huaigu was taken aback by this man's actions, and quickly helped him up, saying, "What do you ask me to do, just say it, there is no need to do this, I am not used to it." ”

The man got Xu Huaigu's instructions, and hurriedly got up and said, "Little Immortal Master, my name is Tang Fu, and I am a steward of the Yi family in Xingqing City, and I want to find the Little Immortal Master to do our family a small favor this time." ”

The Yi family is also one of the many business families in Xingqing City, it is not a top family, it can only be regarded as a middle level, and it is much weaker than the Xu family who has just come out of the sword in Xu Huaigu.

There are many small families like the Yi family in Xingqing City. These families did not have the money to invite monks to worship, after all, the fairy money used by monks was no more than worldly gold and silver, even the cheapest bead was a hundred taels of silver.

Xu Huaigu asked: "Then what do you want me to help with, say it and listen, I will help as much as I can." ”

Xu Huaigu's tone was soft and sincere. He was willing to help the Yi family this time because he wanted to find some local forces to support him in Xingqing City, after all, he had just offended the Xu family, although it was estimated that the Xu family would not dare to retaliate against him again. If he dares to retaliate, Xu Huaigu will let him know what is called real backstage hardness.

However, after he goes north in the future, Yu Qin will still stay in Xingqing, so he naturally has to choose some friends for her, and friends are all connected by human affection.

Tang Fu was also a little surprised when he heard Xu Huaigu's words gentle, and he couldn't make up his mind. He had just been mixing in the crowd to watch the fight between Xu Huaigu and that Elder Yan, and he thought that Xu Huaigu should be very difficult to speak, but he didn't expect him to be so enthusiastic.

In fact, he didn't dare to come to Xu Huaigu, after all, Xu Huaigu had just cut off one of Xu Guonan's arms with his own hands, and he was a little scared when he looked at that scene, but he really came to the point of exhaustion, so he had to have the courage to call Xu Huaigu.

When he heard Xu Huaigu's promise, he hurriedly said anxiously: "That's the case, our Yi family is a business family in Xingqing City, unlike most people who take the waterway to operate a business route, our Yi family has found another way to do business with the Yamato Kingdom in the north through a land route, so we have also made a little silver over the years." ”

He paused, sighed, and said, "Who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances, but our Yi family's business in the first two months went wrong. Our head of the family, Yi Xingping, set out with a caravan of dozens of people, but when he returned, he was the only one left in tattered clothes and back to Xingqing with a pale face. At that time, he was already unconscious, his speech was slurred, and he often babbled gibberish. Later, we finally learned from his words that when their caravan passed through a mountain range called Lichuan Mountain, they were attacked by a group of ghosts of unknown origin, who stole all the goods and killed everyone. Soon after the head of the family returned home, he went completely crazy, crazy all day long, and there was nothing he could do to invite the best Langzhong, and then we invited a monk to come and check, saying that he was on the body by a ghost, and there was no cure, only to ask the master who knew how to draw a talisman to exorcise ghosts. But those masters are too expensive, they cost a hundred small beads at a time, which is 10,000 taels of silver! Originally, our Yi family still had some savings, but the caravan was destroyed, and the goods lost a lot of money, and the dead people lost a lot of money, so there was really no money for treatment, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a decision, and I came to trouble the little immortal master to make a move. Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I know that you are a good person, little immortal master, please help our family master! ”

After hearing so much at once, Xu Huaigu felt a little suspicious, and asked, "Since there are ghosts in that Lichuan Mountain, why do you have to pass through that mountain?" ”

"I don't know, this has never happened to that mountain before, and I haven't heard of ghosts over there."

Generally speaking, the living conditions of ghosts are very harsh, and they must have a place with strong yin qi for cultivation, so they will not easily change their living area, so it is very strange to see ghosts in places where there were no ghosts before.

Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "Then you want me to help you draw talismans to exorcise ghosts?" ”

"Little Immortal Master, do you know how to use talismans, if you can, please raise your hand to help us!"

Xu Huaigu sighed and said, "Your family master is really pitiful when he encounters this unwarranted disaster, but I am only a sword cultivator, and I can't draw talismans, so I can't help it." ”

Tang Fu also hung his head in frustration and said, "Is there really no way?" If you have immortal money on you, can you lend it to our family master for temporary use? Our family must be grateful. ”

Xu Huaigu actually still has a way, such as going to Bai Xiaoyu for help, or looking for Huang Shan, he is half a ghost cultivator, and he knows more about this aspect, but Xu Huaigu feels that there is no need for that. No matter what, Tang Fu, the housekeeper of the Yi family, was just a stranger who had nothing to do with him, and it was not worth him to ask others for help.

Xu Huaigu politely refused: "I know you're in a hurry now, but I really can't help you, so please go back." ”

Tang Fu's eyes were embarrassed.

Xu Huaigu took Pingcui's little hand and said to Pingcui, "Let's go, let's go home." ”

Ping Cui nodded, so Xu Huaigu raised his feet and prepared to leave.

Tang Fu suddenly grabbed Xu Huaigu and leaned into his ear, and his tone became helpless: "I also know that there will be no good thing in the world that will fall from the world, little immortal master, you have no reason to help me as a stranger." Although our Yi family has no money, but in fact, our Yi family's young lady is quite attractive, if the immortal master does not dislike it, you can follow the immortal master in the future, and it is good to be an idle thing. ”

Xu Huaigu was shocked and said in disgust: "Is this your idea or your young lady's will?" ”

Tang Fu was stunned for a moment, he was completely distracted by this question, a middle-aged Confucian is now the same as a lifeless old man.

He hesitated for a long time before saying, "It's my young lady's will." ”

Xu Huaigu suddenly couldn't bear it, how could a big family with a head and face reach the point of exhaustion before sending his own daughter out to solve the siege?

But Xu Huaigu couldn't help him exorcise ghosts by himself, and he had to rely on the help of Bai Xiaoyu or Huang Shan. But if this is the case, how will Xu Huaigu explain to Bai Xiaoyu and Huang Shan? They are not their own servants, and if they go and ask for their help for the sake of a stranger, do they not take them seriously? Xu Huaigu couldn't do such a thing.

He weighed it and said, "Well, I can't help you, but I have a friend who can help you, and I will introduce you to him, and then you will negotiate the terms, and if you can get him to agree, the matter will be settled." ”

When Tang Fu heard that there was still hope, he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, good, thank you Immortal Master!" I am already grateful that the Immortal Master can introduce me to him! ”

Xu Huaigu said: "Let me remind you first, my friend only has interests in his eyes, if you want him to pity you, then you don't have to think about it, you must come up with conditions that make him happy." ”

Tang Fu agreed repeatedly.

"By the way, you don't have to go with me today, he's not at the inn today. After you go back, prepare the conditions, and then come back to visit the Xianyun Inn tomorrow, and I will tell him about it today. ”

Tang Fu's eyes were full of hope, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, Immortal Master!" ”

Xu Huaigu waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then took Ping Cui's hand and left.

The two walked on the road, and Xu Huaigu asked Pingcui, "How did you get entangled by that group of people today?" ”

Ping Cui pursed her lips and said, "I was going to go to Granny Qin's house to find you and Sister Yu to play with, but I met that group of people on the way. They somehow found out that I knew you, and they asked me where you lived. I saw that the person in charge was dressed like a sissy, and I didn't think he was a good person, so I refused to tell them your whereabouts, so they surrounded me in the street, and then Brother Xu, you rushed here. But you're really good, that old man was beaten up by you. ”

Xu Huaigu said distressedly: "Do you know? If I hadn't happened to see this today, you'd be bullied by them. ”

Ping Cui pursed her lips, full of nonchalance: "No, I'm not stupid, if they really dare to beat me, then I will definitely find someone else to help, at that time, they will be at a loss, and they will definitely not dare to do anything to me." ”

Xu Huaigu just smiled mildly and said, "That little Pingcui is quite smart, you can protect yourself." ”

Pingcui laughed happily: "You think too, right? I think so too, but every time I talk to my parents, they don't believe me. But I know that they are just afraid that I know how good I am and that I can't control me, so they don't dare to tell me. ”

Every time I talk to Pingcui, it is like a mountain spring flowing through Xu Huaigu's heart, sweet and sweet.

Xu Huaigu remembered that the last time he heard these innocent words should have been several years ago, but in the past few years, he has changed too much.

Xu Huaigu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a few years can change a person beyond recognition. But his little sadness was not revealed, and he still had a smiling face.

You see, they will hide their thoughts in their hearts and not reveal them.

Xu Huaigu suddenly remembered something, so he said to Ping Cui: "So, you haven't been to Granny Qin's house for the past few days, right?" ”

Ping Cui shook her head: "No, I'm busy at home these days, and I'm helping my mother weave." ”

Xu Huaigu whispered: "Then you won't go to Granny Qin's house in the future, Granny Qin doesn't live there anymore." ”

"What? Could it be that Granny Qin has moved? Then she must have told me too, and it seems that she must have forgotten to tell me in a fool's old way. You tell me where she has moved to, and I'll be able to see her later. ”

Xu Huaigu made up a lie: "Granny Qin is no longer in Xingqing, she has traveled far, far away." ”

"Did you go alone?"

"Yes."

Pingcui's eyes rolled, and she said unhappily: "Alas, why do older people like to travel far away alone?" My father and mother told me that my grandfather also traveled far away and didn't come back for a long time. ”

"Alas, I don't know how Granny Qin is doing when she travels alone, if only she and my grandfather went to the same place, they can still take care of each other."

Pingcui pursed his lips and saw a broken brick on the ground a few steps ago, so he childishly rushed over, kicked the brick so far away, and startled a yellow dog monster in the alley barked and ran away.

Ping Cui smiled very happily.

Xu Huaigu also smiled happily.
