There is no road in the mountains and fields, and it all depends on a pair of feet.

Xie Mubai has settled in the Yellow Mountain for decades, with the Yellow Mountain as the center to extend a hundred miles outward, and the avenues and trails leading to the Yellow Mountain in all directions can be said to be more familiar than him except for some local hunters.

The moment the sun disappeared on the west hill, Tangkou ushered in the night, and also ushered in the figure of Xie Mubai and dozens of other people, and the scattered barking of dogs expressed the meaning of welcome.

After walking into the town and finding a restaurant to fill everyone's stomachs, Xie Mubai took everyone to a manor outside the town by moonlight. The knocker knocked, and the old man who came to open the door called Xie Mubai the owner, except for Bao Dalei, everyone else was deeply surprised.

Bai Yutian shook out everyone's hearts: "Elder Li, isn't the Huangshan Sword Sect located at the foot of Tiandu Peak?" ”

Bao Dalei saw that although Xie Mubai had the heart to answer everyone's questions, he had no intention of answering this question, so he replied on his behalf: "Old man Xie's master and servant felt that it was inconvenient to live in and out of the mountains, and they were getting older, so they moved the sect out. ”

Hu Yanqing said happily: "It's good to move out, life is light, it saves footsteps, and it makes the mood beautiful." ”

Bao Dalei said: "What you want is to be in a good mood, then go in and live." ”

Everyone smiled happily and followed Xie Mubai's master and servant into the manor. Wei Bao and other brothers helped Ximen Qing, Gui Haiming, Ning Zhen'an and other wounded people off their horses, and after the old man settled down the horses, they entered the hall and sat down, took the tea brewed by Hu Yanqing, Zhang Yan'er, and Jiang Yingying, and drank it happily.

The manor is neither big nor small, with more than a dozen houses sitting in the manor, as if waiting for today's arrival. After the old man and Zhuo Yifei, Bai Yutian, Hu Yanqing, and Zhang Yan'er cleaned up, the guests happily checked in, and snored peacefully until the rooster crowed, the sky was bright, and they woke up to prevent it.

Bai Yutian slept the earliest and got up the earliest, seeing that in addition to the sound of birdsong, the surroundings were quiet, so he played all the fists, feet and blades, and waited for his satisfaction, and ushered in Xie Mubai's smiling face.

Xie Mubai said: "Boy, what do you want to eat and drink for lunch?" ”

Bai Yutian peach wood into the sheath, wiped off a few beads of sweat on his forehead, and replied happily: "I love chicken, duck and fish, I like green vegetables and radish, Shaoxing's daughter Huang Yanyan, a bowl of belly is difficult to be satisfied." ”

Xie Mubai smiled lightly: "If you are not satisfied, let me go to the town to move some back, and treat your guests well." ”

Bai Yutian said with a smile: "Old Xie, the manor is so big, doesn't there be a wine cellar?" ”

Xie Mubai said: "The wine cellar is there, I look forward to you filling it up today." ”

Bai Yutian said: "I risked my life to escort Xiao Ruoyun's mother and daughter to Dragon and Tiger Villa, and I got a protection fee of one hundred taels of silver. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work if it's all used up, but you can still make do with thirty or fifty taels." Xie Mubai turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Bai Yutian went back to the house and brought the silver taels, got out of the yard, entered the hall, sat at the dinner table, had breakfast, went out of the gate of the manor with the old man, got on the ox cart, and went straight to the market in the morning sun.

Xie Mubai sent Bai Yutian's figure away, greeted the other people's greetings, accompanied everyone to have breakfast, was idle, and invited Bao Dalei to teach Zhuo Yifei's swordsmanship together.

Bao Dalei has rarely been a master for decades, and he is afraid that Zhuo Yifei will not understand when he explains, and he will not remember Zhuo Yifei when he demonstrates.

Hu Yanqing was afraid that Bao Da Lei would have a dry mouth, so he sent tea from time to time, and when he had nothing to do, he glanced at the gate of the manor with Zhang Yan'er, hoping that Bai Yutian would come back early to cook a delicious meal and reward this broad-minded and hard-working elder.

Bai Yutian has always been as good as he wanted, and he appeared in the last anxious eyes of Hu Yanqing and Zhang Yan'er, and he still returned with a full load in an ox cart.

Zhang Yan'er rushed forward, helped Bai Yutian off the ox cart, and said happily: "Brother Bai, why have you been gone for so long!" The tea I made for you is already cold, do you want me to warm it up for you? ”

Bai Yutian brushed Zhang Yan'er's hair and quipped: "I think your heart is also cold, can you help me warm it up?" Waiting for Zhang Yan'er's coquettish laughter, she unconsciously took the person into her arms, and the affection was one after another, and she couldn't stop feeling it.

Hu Yanqing saw that the two of them were passionate, as if their eyes were spicy, so they came over angrily and poured a basin of cold water: "Sister, is it okay to fall in love after lunch, everyone is still waiting for him to show off his cooking skills!" ”

Zhang Yan'er withdrew from Bai Yutian's embrace, was shy, lowered her head and whispered: "Sister Qing, Big Brother Bai has been busy all morning, so I can't let him rest first, it's too impersonal." ”

Hu Yanqing said with a smile: "Sister, if the favor can be eaten, let him rest for the rest of his life." Unfortunately, he couldn't, and he had already rested on the way back, not for a while. Bai Yutian, I said yes, right? ”

Bai Yutian smiled lightly: "Hu Jiayanqing sometimes said the wrong thing. ”

Hu Yanqing hugged a jar of wine and said loudly: "Then why don't you come to help move the wine and meat in, wait and do." ”

The sound was a little loud, and Wei Bao and the others in the hall were disturbed, and they carried the ox cart in their arms.

Hu Yanqing led Zhang Yan'er and Jiang Yingying into the backyard behind Bai Yutian, walked into the kitchen, washed vegetables, cut vegetables, lit fires, and held spoons. As Bai Yutian took off her apron, Zhang Yan'er washed the sweat beads on her forehead, Hu Yanqing took Jiang Yingying to take the last two plates, entered the hall together, sat around with everyone, and cheered up.

Everyone felt that Bai Yutian was not hard enough, so the first glass of wine was toasted to Xie Mubai, Bao Dalei, and Lei Zhenxiang, and let Bai Yutian accompany them. The second glass of wine, under the advocacy of Lei Zhenxiang, overcame all difficulties, and everyone reluctantly saluted Bai Yutian, and also made Hu Yanqing, Zhang Yan'er, and Jiang Yingying, three female streams, vassals, and politely saluted them together.

In order to advocate equality between men and women, Bai Yutian has no respect or inferiority, and he picked up the wine glass and walked up in the hall, because everyone was not Bai Yutian's opponent because of the fight, and the theory was not Bai Yutian's words were true, so he abandoned the past cognition, and pretended to drink the wine in the cup happily.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes and chopsticks are moving, and in the face of the table full of food, no one cares about anyone, and eats with their mouths open until they fill their stomachs.

After eating and drinking, the table was served, the tea was in hand, the words were opened, and all the trivial things poured out and filled the hall.

Bai Yutian remembered the masked man yesterday, and a nervous heart slowly grew in the heart field, and his worried expression overflowed, making everyone feel extremely unhappy.

Zhang Yan'er was afraid that Bai Yutian would become ill, so she said with concern: "Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?" Is it uncomfortable there? ”

Bai Yutian replied: "There is no discomfort. It's just that yesterday's masked man's martial arts skills are extremely high, and his skills are strange, I'm afraid there will be no opponents in the world. If he is unkind to Dart Yin and makes a sneak attack halfway, he is afraid that Senior Li and Brother Jiang will have a mistake if they are unprepared in advance. I'd like to get up tomorrow morning to pick up the darts team and ask for peace of mind. ”

Xie Mubai said: "If you want to go, no one will stop you." ”

Bai Yutian said: "I'm afraid that the man in black is insidious and cunning, hiding nearby and waiting for an opportunity, just waiting for us to relax." ”

Xie Mubai would not understand what Bai Yutian was worried about. But once the official silver escorted by the Longwei Dart Bureau is lost, the court will investigate it, and the Longwei Dart Bureau will definitely usher in a catastrophe, in order to keep the two martial arts cheats and ignore the life and death of the Longwei Dart Bureau, it is like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, like holding sesame seeds and discarding watermelons, because of small losses.

Ximen Qing and Gui Haiming seemed to think the same as Xie Mubai, and said: "Bai Shaoxia, I lost my martial arts cheats, but it is good for others, and it is harmless to myself." If the official silver is lost, it will not only benefit others, but also hurt the Longwei dart game. It is clear at a glance which is more important, and there is no need to worry too much. ”

Bai Yutian felt that Ximen Qing's words were reasonable, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning." ”

Xie Mubai said: "What are you waiting for tomorrow morning, get out now, so as not to be annoying." ”

"Okay, I'll go, out of sight."

Bai Yutian got up, walked out of the hall, returned to the bedroom to salute, said goodbye to everyone, walked out of the manor gate, and disappeared in three or two. Zhang Yan'er wanted to go with her, but unfortunately her internal strength was not as good as Bai Yutian's, and after one or two vertical jumps, she was thrown a few feet away, blocked by the trees, and lost her vision, so she had to quietly turn back.

Bai Yutian left, except for Zhang Yan'er, who felt lonely and comforted by Jiang Yingying's company, the others were as usual, recuperating in peace, chatting and chatting, and teaching art, but the leisure and comfort were not as rich as before, and they also regretted that the meal in the evening was gone.

Just when everyone felt that Bai Yutian was leaving, he should stay for another night before leaving, the old man rushed in from the gate and said with an ugly face: "Owner, there are guests coming." ”

Xie Mubai turned around and glanced at the old man, saw that he looked flustered, had a bad premonition, and complained: "What guest?" Look at your panicked appearance, the concentration that has been cultivated for decades has gone there, haven't there been any guests in Yilin Villa? ”

The old man said: "The man is dressed in black and his face is covered with a black cloth, and he wants you to go out to greet him." ”

Bao Dalei said: "How many people? ”

The old man said: "A black robe, more than a dozen Jianghu men, among which there are Taoist priests and monks. ”

Zhuo Yifei stopped the martial arts in his hand, put the sword into the sheath, and said to Xie Mubai: "Master, what should I do?" ”

Wei Bao jumped out of the hall with his brothers and said loudly: "The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and if you can't win the fight, you won't talk about it." ”

Lei Zhenxiang said: "This method is the most direct and effective, that's all." ”

When things come to an end, everything is long, don't cry if you don't see the coffin.

Xie Mubai couldn't think of a better way for a while, so he had to let everyone bring their blades and follow him out of the village to welcome guests.
