It is said that Xu Huaigu left Bailiangshan and his party and continued to rush to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. Before he reached the top of the mountain, the white of the fish belly in the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and then, a round of red sun erupted, illuminating Bailiang Mountain very brightly.

Xu Huaigu was still among the woods at this time, looked up at the sky, sighed helplessly, and said to himself: "It's a step too late, sure enough, there are few things in the world that are satisfactory after all." Having said that, he went up the mountain all the way, met a lot of interesting people, and also negotiated a big deal with Fang Shengming, which was not a trip in vain, so Xu Huaigu didn't feel much pity.

He paused for a moment in the mountains, thought about something, and then went down again. I promised Zhao Liuping before, and I would have a meal with their family at noon, and then I would go back to Suchang.

Gu March should have already received his own message flying sword, so he wouldn't be worried, and Xu Huaigu could stay on the mountain for a while with peace of mind.

Gu Yueyue, a little girl, has followed Xu Huaigu for more than a year on the rivers and lakes, and she is also nominally her own disciple.

Xu Huaigu is not a person who is cold by nature, and she naturally has a lot of weight in his heart. Thinking about it, he walked to the Fang family's small house.

Fang He was still running wildly outside, and when he saw Xu Huaigu coming from afar, he shouted excitedly: "Mother, mother!" Brother Xu is back! Can we eat? With a doting smile, Zhao Liuping walked out of the house in response, and when she saw that it was Xu Huaigu, she said to Fang He: "I said that Brother Xu, I thought it was Xu Songtu who came back, it turned out to be Xu Huaigu." You call Xu Songtu Brother Xu, and Xu Huaigu is also called Brother Xu, how can you tell the difference? When Fang He heard that it did make sense, he also frowned and became confused.

She thought about it, and suddenly a happy smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Or ...... One of my names is Brother Xu, and the other is Brother Xu, how about it? Zhao Liuping smiled: "Of course you can." It's just that which one is your eldest brother Xu, and which one is the second brother? Fang He pursed his lips, blinked his eyes strangely, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, see which of them is good to me, who is the big brother." A laugh rang out: "Of course it's me." I saved you, right, Fang He? The person who said this was naturally Xu Huaigu, and just as their mother and daughter were chatting, Xu Huaigu had already walked up to the two, and looked at Fang He with a smile on his face at this time.

Fang He grimaced at him and said with a smile: "I won't tell you." Zhao Liuping took Fang He's hand, looked pampered, and said to Xu Huaigu: "Children's temperament, don't be like her." Xu Huaigu nodded, so Zhao Liuping said to Fang He: "Look at you, you got up early this morning and played crazy outside, so you should go back to lunch now, right?" Beware of hungry stomachs. Fang He smiled and said, "Mother, then what are we going to eat at noon today?" ”

"My mother made you your favorite fish soup, and you can eat several more bowls of rice if you keep it. By the way, the medicine has already been decocted, so when you finish eating, drink the medicine by the way. When it came to eating, Fang He's eyes were still shining, but as soon as he heard about taking medicine, his brows furrowed again, and he looked unhappy.

Fang He had a bitter face and said tentatively: "Mother, can you not drink it?" Every time I take that medicine, it's so bitter that my tongue can't taste it for days, and I don't want to drink it. Zhao Liuping looked at her distressedly, her tone was indeed resolute, and said, "No, if you don't drink medicine, how can the disease be cured?" Rest assured, my mother has found a cure for your disease, and in a few days, when my mother has prepared everything and cured your disease, you won't need to drink medicine in the future. Fang He was unhappy

He said "oh" before he got up and walked home. Zhao Liuping frowned slightly, glanced at Xu Huaigu apologetically, and then the two of them followed Fang He closely and went in for lunch.

Due to the presence of Fang He, this lunch was obviously not the time to talk about business, it was just a simple lunch, and after Xu Huaigu had eaten, he continued to go down the mountain and prepare to return to Suchang.

When he walked to the gravel path again, he met the team of food delivery women he had met yesterday, but He Qiao'er was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Huaigu stepped forward to inquire a few words, and then he learned that it is said that after going back yesterday, He Qiao'er and his father had talked to other people's families about a family matter, but He Qiao'er didn't seem to be very happy, so it didn't cause a conflict with his father, so he didn't go up the mountain to deliver food today.

Xu Huaigu understands that these trivial things are countless in the world. He just asked, and he wouldn't intervene in the slightest.

So I went down the mountain all the way, and walked back to the temporary house in Suchang along the path, and it was almost evening.

Before he knocked on the door, he heard the whirring sound of a knife inside, needless to say, it was naturally Gu Yue. In this year, no matter whether Xu Huaigu is by her side or not, as long as there is time, Gu March must be practicing boxing and swords.

Regarding this, Xu Huaigu was very pleased, otherwise, Gu March would never have been so heavy in his heart.

The door was not locked, Xu Huaigu gently pushed it open, and saw a familiar figure dancing with a knife in the open space in the front yard.

Beside her was a bucket, and as she walked, ripples on the surface of the water.

The flying blade surface reflects the rays of the setting sun from time to time, and it looks very beautiful. In the corner of the courtyard, there was a man in black sitting on a chair, looking at it vigorously, it was Xu Songtu who stayed in Suchang to accompany Gu March.

As soon as Xu Huaigu pushed the door, the figure of the dancing knife noticed it. She smiled happily and shouted, "Master, you're back!" Seeing her look, as if she was about to stop, Xu Huaigu said, "Don't stop, wait until you're done practicing before you speak." When Gu March heard this, he didn't stop and continued to practice the knife.

Xu Huaigu walked into the corner, and saw that Xu Songtu's gaze had not been removed from Gu Yueyue, and there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, so he said, "What? Have you taken a fancy to my apprentice? Xu Songtu shook his head, but there was still unconcealed appreciation in his eyes, and said: "You, an apprentice, can afford to endure hardships, and you will definitely do something in the future." Xu Huaigu pursed his lips, as if he was not very happy with Xu Songtu's old-fashioned judgment, and said: "You are only in your early twenties, as if you are so powerful." My apprentice, it's not your turn to speak like that. You see a woman practicing so hard, and you're still sitting here watching, if I were you, I would be ashamed to death. Xu Songtu smiled: "What about you, don't you also go to Bailiang Mountain and play for two days?" ”

"I'm not going to play, I'm going to talk about business with your master." Xu Songtu frowned and said suspiciously: "Have you seen my master?" Xu Huaigu also looked at Gu Yue, and said casually: "Not only your master, but also your master and uncle, all of them have been seen." You'd better go back as soon as possible, your master is probably looking for you. Xu Songtu asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"The serious thing I talked about with your master has something to do with you." Xu Songtu suddenly became vigilant, and hurriedly asked, "What did you talk about?" What does it have to do with me? Xu Huaigu said unhurriedly: "Ask me what I'm doing, go back and ask your master." Xu Songtu looked at him unhappily and asked again: "Last question, where did you and Gu March come from, and what are your identities?" Xu Huaigu still kept a straight face, and only said, "Don't ask me, ask your master to go." If he wants to say it, he can say it, and if he doesn't, it won't do you any good if I say it now. Xu Songtu secretly said in his heart that this is really a strange person, and after two more glances at Gu Yueyue's side, he lifted the sword in his hand and slowly left the house, he should have gone back to Bailiang Mountain.

So Xu Huaigu sat on Xu Songtu's seat before, and looked at Gu Yueyue's knife practice, I didn't know how long it would take, so he closed his eyes and began to think about the matter of Bailiangshan.

This matter involves the royal family of the Shocking Feather Country, and there is that copper mine, which is not a trivial matter, and there are some details, which need to be carefully scrutinized.

After about an hour or two, the whirring sound of the knife dance finally stopped, and then a woman said, "Master, today's sword practice is over!" Xu Huaigu slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What about yesterday?" ”

"Yesterday, Xu Songtu and I went for a walk around Suchang, I didn't practice during the day, but I practiced for a night at night, and I made up for it." Xu Huaigu nodded, indicating that he understood.

So Gu Yue ran to his side and said with a smile: "Master, I also received your message flying sword last night. You're playing in the mountains, and you're still thinking about me. Xu Huaigu said seriously: "First, it's not for the teacher to go up the mountain to play, there is something serious to do." Second, the flying sword sent a message to you because I was afraid that you would be lazy when I was away. After a year of companionship, Gu March naturally touched Xu Huaigu's temperament, knowing that his serious appearance was pretended, so he didn't defend himself, and said: "Master, when I was playing in Suchang yesterday, I saw a lot of interesting things. Xu Huaigu said: "Then you can talk about it." Gu Yueyue said with a smile: "By the way, I know that Master you have to drink every time you go to a place, and I also bought good wine, so we will drink and talk." With that, she ran back to the house, took out the jar of immortal brew in Qingyuezhai, brought two sea bowls, put them on a small table in the front yard, poured the wine, handed one bowl to Xu Huaigu, and put the other in front of her eyes.

Xu Huaigu brought the wine to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, showed a satisfied smile, and said, "Not bad, it is indeed good wine." Gu March saw that Xu Huaigu liked it, smiled happily, and said with a little pride in his tone: "That's not it." This is what I asked Xu Songtut to take me to the best liquor store to buy, and when we went there, we also bumped into the boss and his daughter who were having a conflict, and almost didn't buy the wine. Xu Huaigu calmly picked up the wine bowl, drank it slowly, and when she heard what Gu March said, she nodded her head, so Gu March began to continue to talk about what she had seen and heard in Suchang City.
