Chapter 25 Joyful Water

The original intention of the reward strategy is to drive the world's martial artists for their own use, and at the same time create martial arts grievances, it can also relieve the pressure on the court's manpower, but it is indeed inevitable that some people in the rivers and lakes will become famous in one fell swoop, such as the top ten people in the reward strategy, which has hardly changed for a few years.

The power of the imperial court will not be liquidated for a while and a half, and no one will make a move in the martial arts rivers and lakes, and the bounty of one million will be hung there, and people will still live freely in the rivers and lakes, gaining fame and fortune.

Dafeng Station, about ten miles away from Ding'an County, can't go far is Baicaozhai.

"A pot of tea, four large bowls of noodles!"

On a windy day, two people came to the door of the tea shop, leading two donkeys full of bags, looking like dust and dust.

The power suit on his body was tattered, and he couldn't distinguish the original color for a long time, his long hair was glued into locks, and he was wantonly draped over his shoulders, one carrying a sword, and the other was holding a gun, and as the door slammed shut, the howling wind was also turned away.

The entire tea shop was suddenly much quieter, and the movement of the two aroused the attention of everyone in the tea shop.

Sloppy but difficult to hide the temperament, the dust of the sword, just looking at it makes people feel close, a pair of eyes at first glance are flat, but there is a faint glint of essence between the expectations; The man with the gun doesn't have any temperament, but the sense of oppression brought by his appearance is incomparable to ordinary people, and he is mentally alert, like a wild beast, very aggressive.

As soon as the two of them sat down, the table next to them got up cautiously, ignoring the unfinished food in their bowls, and turned around to run.

"Hey, stop." Shen frowned, and unconsciously clenched the gun.

"Is there something wrong with us? What are you two running? ”

Being scared by this, the two of them were a little weak, and showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, "I, I'm anxious." ”

"I, I'm the same!"

"Are you disgusted with us?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's really urgent."

Shen waved his hand and looked at the other positions in the house, there was indeed no more suitable position, this location was enough for the corner, and the owner of the tea shop was also far away.

"Go, go."

The two didn't dare to make a move, but looked at Cao An, "That, Cao Daxia, can we go?" ”

"Do you recognize me?"

This made Cao An a little surprised.

"This, I'm afraid there aren't many people who don't know you in this world."

"Why?"

"You have two consecutive issues in the reward strategy of the rivers and lakes, not only has the ranking risen fast enough, but the bounty is also enough." For some reason, when facing Cao An, the two of them didn't have so much fear, and they felt that Cao An, who was really in front of them, was not the neurotic, weird, and moody Yanshi as rumored.

"Can you give me one? I can give money. ”

The man hurriedly pulled out a bounty, "If you want it, just take it, or a few coppers." ”

Shen Zhong took it and said thank you angrily.

Cao An looked at the reward strategy, and for a while he understood why the abnormality just now, the rivers and lakes are very busy, and no one cares about the nobodies, but the rivers and lakes are also very realistic, once they shine, they will be targeted by thousands of eyes.

What really made Cao An famous was not the retirement of Zhu Yi, but the defeat of Ren Ji, as a high-level eagle dog raised by the imperial court, he naturally did not deal with the people in the rivers and lakes, just like he said, he couldn't remember the people who died under him.

In the rivers and lakes, almost half of the people hate him and are hostile to him, but they can't help him. is the so-called good general of the other side, my enemy, and now Cao An has done what they can't do, which is self-evident.

As a party to Cao An, he didn't feel anything about it, and even faintly disliked it.

He didn't like the feeling of being watched.

"Two guest officers, you have all the things you want."

Four large bowls of noodles and a pot of tea, the two of them, who had long been extremely hungry, temporarily put aside the others and buried their heads in bitterness, and everyone saw that their appetite was greatly enhanced.

The food is full of water, push the door out, here is too close to Anding County, it is both the county government and the state capital, Cao An is always worried about accidents, take the donkey, and the donkey who has been replenished with water and forage for a short time is still a little reluctant to leave.

Shen Zhong reached out and touched the donkey's back, and he couldn't hide the love in his eyes.

"After traveling thousands of miles, you see that our donkey has been trained to be full of pimple meat." It's also strange to say that it was because of the constraints of the conditions that I led the donkey, but I didn't expect that along the way, the donkey not only did not become a burden, but even many times, it was more convenient than a horse, and the two donkeys gradually became strange.

First of all, the miscellaneous hair became oily and slippery, changed to a black color, and under the sun, there were some shiny dazzling eyes, and the body was also covered with pimple meat, especially the position of the limbs.

Cao An couldn't help but smile, "Donkeys have all practiced pimples and flesh all over their bodies, only you, your cultivation has not risen but fallen, and now they are all stable in a scene of fusion skills." ”

"Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned." Shen is depressed, he is not growing in cultivation, his body has grown, the fat places have grown strong, and his body has risen by two inches, and it is not appropriate to call him chubby now.

Cao An took a deep breath, "Go, last stop, little fatty, it's time to decide your fate." ”

Baicaozhai is actually a place name, no matter how elegant its name is, it can't change its essence, and Liujiagou, Dajianshan and the like are no different.

Before the arrival of Wu Zhiwei, this was a small canyon.

Backed by two nameless hills, there is a stream flowing through, in front of the court stands a statue of a big medicine tripod more than one zhang high, a small child is guarded in front of the door, and Cao An and the two of them walked forward.

"Why are you here?"

"This friend of mine is in poor health, and he has heard that the martial arts pharmacist has excellent medical skills, so he came here and hoped that the little friend would pass it on."

Xiao Tong shook his head, "No, the tutor hasn't received patients for several years, and he specifically instructed that no matter who it is, he won't accept it." ”

Cao An turned around, "Little fatty, take out the handbook." ”

"Since that's the case, we don't embarrass you, here's a handwritten letter, bothering Xiaoyou to hand it over to the martial arts pharmacist, we'll wait at this door."

Xiao Tong hesitated for a moment, but still took the handwritten book, "Then you wait, you can't sneak in while I'm not there, the family teacher beat me up last time." ”

"Your donkeys are so beautiful, and they look amazing."

The boy ran in with the handbook, and looked in the direction of the courtyard with a heavy sense of gain and loss.

"I'm lucky, I lost my life, little fat, wait with peace of mind, as far as this matter is concerned, it is not only your fate, but also his martial arts fate, your fate is clearly priced, but his fate is not obvious at all, the two are missed, and it is not known whose loss is greater."

Shen Zhong only thought that Cao An was comforting himself, "If I miss it, I will return to heaven." ”

Cao An smiled faintly and didn't explain.

He touched the donkey behind him, "Everyone thinks you are wonderful, but after all, you are just ordinary donkeys, and the congenital shackles cannot be broken by chance, even if you are a fitness donkey, it's a pity." ”

The donkey is a little strange, but that's all.

After a while, the little boy ran out, "The tutor asked you to come in." ”

"Thank you!"

Xiao Tong hurriedly waved his hand, his little face was a little red, "There is no one in the valley, many talents are lively, come with me." ”

Walking through the ordinary but elegant courtyard, Cao An and the two finally met this martial medicine master here, and the meeting after thousands of miles seemed to add a few different meanings to this encounter.

Wu Zhiwei was a middle-aged man of about forty, not much taller than the child, wearing a fancy colorful robe, brightly colored, in this elegant courtyard, like a large butterfly.

"No need to be polite, you have Ge Lao's handwriting, I have to see him, after all, he was half of my teacher, but he only saw you once, after dinner, you will leave, and the matter of healing will be mentioned again."

Before the two could speak, Wu Zhiwei waved his hand to stop and took the lead in speaking.

"Xiao Wu, take them down to change and wash them before coming up, my yard smells bad." The boy didn't dare to say much, but stood aside and led with one hand.

Shen has a big temper, especially when the deadline is approaching, he can vaguely feel the death in the underworld, if it weren't for Cao An's huge humanoid self-propelled Ning Shenyu, it is estimated that he would have collapsed long ago.

Wu Zhiwei's yin and yang weirdness made his already bad mood completely explode.

"Brother Cao, let's go, we still have the ability to solve a meal by ourselves."

"It would be great if the two of you could be so reasonable."

Cao An pulled Shen Zheng, "Please also ask Xiaoyou to continue to lead the way, we came all the way, and we really didn't have a good freshening up." ”

The boy's neck shrunk, a little embarrassed, "Please come with me, two." ”

The place of grooming is a pool outside the yard, which is not naturally formed, but surrounded by the owner of this Baicao Zhai, and raises fish in the pond to fill the appetite of the mouth, which is living water, which flows naturally, and is also crystal clear.

"You two are here to freshen up, and you can call me if you need to."

Cao An thanked him and plunged into the small pool, the sun was at noon, and the clear stream water could instantly extinguish the dryness in people's hearts, and Cao An had not been so cheerful for a long time.

Shen Zhong looked depressed, and followed into Xiaotan, a little unrelenting, he thought about what he would do if this Wu Zhiwei didn't help, but when he really came to this point, he found that he was not ready.

"Leave everything to me, rest assured, wash it well, let's be like this, don't say it's a human, even a dog is disgusted."

Xu is the clarity of the stream, or maybe it is the confidence that Cao An has always given him, and the dryness in his heart has been suppressed.

"Listen to Brother Cao."

On the wooden platform by the pool, there are also a few pieces of pancreas to freshen up.

Cao An cleaned up the dirt on his body, and his body felt the subtle rhythm of the stream, motionless like a sculpture, there was no reason, just enjoy the moment, incomparably happy and comfortable, not involving the perception of nature and reason, not mixed with the understanding of martial arts practice, happiness is happiness.

Shen Chong washed up early and went to the wooden platform, and he didn't leave, just looking at Cao An in the water, inexplicably at ease and tranquility, he didn't remember how long he hadn't been so peaceful and quiet as he was now, as if the death and life events that happened to him didn't matter.

"Hey, aren't you alright?"

"Don't talk, stay quiet, don't disturb Brother Cao." Shen Zhong gently pulled the child and sat on the wooden platform.

In the crystal clear pool, several ornamental koi fish swam towards Cao An, swimming back and forth beside him, and even a few daring ones jumped out of the water.

In the sky, the bird swept low, going back and forth beside Cao An several times, lightly retracting its wings and landing on its shoulders.

At first, Xiao Tong only found it interesting, the birds and fish were so close to a person, it was really an eye-opener for him, but when he saw a cyan bird swept out from between the two mountains and landed on Cao An's other shoulder, the whole person was like a lightning strike, completely recovered from the tranquility, and ran back to the small courtyard cautiously and hurriedly.

"Master, that bird, that bird has come out......"
