Chapter XXVI: Funeral

Thinking back to his eyes, Pei Li remembered that he still hadn't asked about the identity of the person outside the wall.

"This ......" Pei Li hesitated, and chose the former between "girl" and "senior", "...... Girl, my name is Pei Li, dare to ask your name? I don't know what you have to do when you come to Fenghuai, if necessary, I can introduce you to a few adults from the county government. ”

"No need, a little personal." Outside, "I'm Ming Qitian, can I ask you some questions?" ”

Ming Qitian? Who's that?

Pei Ye searched for this unfamiliar name in his mind, and the other party said "I am Ming Qitian" instead of "My name is Ming Qitian", this subtle difference seems to indicate something.

"Excuse me."

"Is there any news of a book or a magical martial art in your place?"

Pei Ye frowned blankly: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment - this is the end?

He couldn't help but remind, "You can say more relevant information, maybe I can think of some clues." ”

The person outside the wall muttered for a while and said, "I don't know more, there is only one, it can be called 'the method of cultivating immortals in the dantian'." ”

This unfamiliar term made Pei Ye even more dazed, so he had to say again: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"Well, thank you." The outsider said, "In addition, I accidentally saw Ling's sword style, and I have three things in my hand to compensate for it - a sword that is much inferior to your swordsmanship, but can still be called a high-class swordsmanship; A sword forged in the East China Sea Sword Furnace, and a booklet that recorded my feelings about sword practice when I was a child. I don't know what is more desirable to you? ”

Pei Li was stunned for a while, he didn't think that it was such a serious matter for his sword to be heard - a few years ago, when he was reading miscellaneous books in the public room, Shen Changzhen occasionally practiced swords in the courtyard, and he listened to it many times.

Maybe it's the rules outside? After all, the ability to take care of the house is really not suitable for being looked at.

But then again, listening is not the same as watching, and watching is not the same as learning. Last night's black-robed man, even if he showed him ten times in advance, he didn't know how to crack it, and he could still stab him in the throat the eleventh time; And now that the person outside the wall can understand his sword move through the wall, even if he is surprised, his own move will not be able to make any contribution in front of her.

After thinking about it again and again, Pei Ye finally acted according to his own cognition, and said: "Miss Ming, I didn't guard against others when I practiced swords in the courtyard, you walked on the street and listened to it, and learned that it was your ability, so you don't have to give me any compensation." Moreover, I have benefited greatly from what you have said. ”

The person outside the wall groaned for a moment, threw out a small jade sword and landed on Pei Li's hand, and said: "This is the best swordsmanship I have seen in the past month, I haven't learned it, but I am also quite inspired, and it is common sense to exchange courtesies." Since you don't want to be saluted now, then take this sword talisman first, and when you think about it, you can inject true qi at any time and use it to contact me. ”

Pei Ye was just about to speak, when his heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly pushed open the courtyard door, and the street was empty.

Some of them walked back with their little swords, picked up the black cat on the recliner and rubbed it, and then lay back in the chair. At this moment, the cat suddenly turned its head to look at him.

Those eyes seemed to be lit up and had spiritual intelligence, and this Shen Yun Pei Ye was quite familiar, so he couldn't help but stop with some embarrassment.

But the black cat didn't care, but threw his eyes out of the door and said to himself, "You say, will I be...... The wrong person? ”

β€œοΌŸβ€

"'Young', 'Sword', 'Clear-minded', 'Perseverance'...... It's all a good fit. ”

Pei Ye looked down at it incredulously, although he was vigilant when he made the contract, but at this time, he was also unhappy when he heard the other party's strange thoughts, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't I also a fit?" ”

"Of course, you are also compatible, but, just like fluorescent light can illuminate, the bright moon can also illuminate......"

"Well, then you go find her." Pei Ye pursed the corners of his lips, feeling like he had been abandoned from the beginning.

"Forget it, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog." The black cat glanced up at him and said, "I'm leaving." ”

"Ahh

The black cat looked at him.

"What the hell is going on over there, is the situation still dangerous?" Pei Li asked.

"It's not complicated, just like you last night, I have a big enemy to face. Thanks to you, it has indeed improved a lot after the deed, and it seems that a helper has come today. The black cat thought about what was going on over there, and said, "Anyway, the current situation is okay, if it deteriorates, if it is too late before I die, I will take the initiative to find you to solve the contract." ”

After speaking, the aura in the cat's eyes disappeared again.

"I'mβ€”that's not what I meant." This sentence didn't catch up, Pei Ye looked at the kitten who was quiet like an idiot, packed up his things and went back to the house.

It's better to go to bed early, tomorrow is the day when Uncle Lin and Lin Jue will be buried.

……

……

The next day, the forest house in the west of the city.

In the east, the courtyard is full of white.

Lin Lin has no relatives, but the students he taught and the subordinates who are taken care of by him abound, and the people in the courtyard all come to mourn spontaneously, and men of different ages and costumes come in piles of three or five, and the stage is set aside and babbling and singing.

And Lin Jue's friends are only a handful - a girl of about the same age in the west of the city is her close friend from childhood to adulthood; Master Huang's daughter who practices martial arts, every time Lin Jue goes to the martial arts hall, she has endless words; Meng Jiao, the son of a neighboring farmer, had been making awkward attempts to marry Lin Jue, but in the first half of the year, he finally married the daughter of a carpenter in the north of the city.

The two girls sat next to each other with their daughters, and Meng Jiao leaned on the pavilion with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Meng." Pei Ye walked over and said, "It seems that I've been busy lately, what are you doing?" ”

"Little liquid." Meng Jiao turned his head, he looked much more mature and calm after getting married, and responded with a smile, "Collect some skins and herbs from the surrounding villages." Relying only on those few acres of land, after a year's eating, the rest will not be sold for much money. ”

"Isn't that good? Other houses will have enough to eat, and you can still sell some. ”

Meng Jiao shook his head, looked up at the sky with his tanned cheeks, and lowered his head again: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, I want to ...... I think...... In the future, let the child study or practice martial arts. ”

"Hmm......" Pei Ye opened his mouth, "That has to be a lot of money." ”

"Yes, my mother and father-in-law have counted me down." Meng Jiao rubbed his feet on the ground and smiled, "However, I won't change my mind." ”

He looked at the empty place again, and subconsciously landed in Lin Jue's boudoir, and said to himself: "You must study and practice martial arts......

"You run like this every day, don't be too tired."

"It's okay, I borrowed Uncle Lu a donkey cart or two, and I brought it to him when he didn't pull the wine, and paid him some money every time - after saving for another half a year, I could buy a donkey by myself."

"Yo, that seems to be quite profitable?" Pei Li said with a smile.

"I had my eyes on it earlier, no one grabbed this job, as long as I worked hardβ€”hey, what's the point of talking about me, I almost forgot that the young hero that everyone wants to see is in front of me now."

Pei Ye smiled and shook his head.

"I heard that even a few adults can't deal with that wicked man, but you cut his neck cleanly." Meng Jiao sighed, "It's amazing, I really admire it from the bottom of my heart." ”

"Say something like that...... It's just luck. ”

Meng Jiao shook his head and held Pei Li's wrist: "I'll tell you the truth, Xiaoli, I really admire you." I saw the head on the lid of the coffin, and it was a pleasure, little liquid. Yesterday I heard that Xiao Jue and Master Lin were killed, and I was angry, scared, and panicked...... and aggrieved. Do you remember, when I was a child, Xiao Jue liked to watch you practice martial arts, and I was always angry with you, but now I want to understand, people have no ability, they can't hold their heads high, Xiaoye, you are a person who really has the ability. ”

Pei Ye was speechless, Meng Jiao looked at the sky and said, "Okay, let's not talk." I remember that Xiao Jue made a few very proud gadgets, and joked that when she died, she would take them into the tomb, so if you have nothing to do, you might as well go to her room to find them. ”

"Yes, that's the case." Pei Li recalled, "But I don't remember which things - let's go find them together." ”

"A bamboo birdcage, a small clay teapot with a black and white dog painted on it, a thumb-sized topaz seal, and a set of palm-thick story paintings...... If you can find a few things, it's a joke. Meng Jiao lifted the sack in his hand, "I won't go in, it's not suitable, I still have work in the afternoon, so I have to go first." ”

"So busy?"

"Lao Mo in the eastern village owes me two skins, originally said that he would bring them to me when he entered the city the day before yesterday, but there has been no news so far, I will go and see what is going on."

"Oh, okay. There are some parts of the mountain road that haven't dried yet, so you should be careful. ”

"Don't worry, it's all the way you're used to." Meng Jiao waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard with a heavy sack on his back.

Pei Ye watched him disappear from view, sighed silently, and turned around and walked towards Lin Jue's room.

Meng Jiao is indeed sincere to Lin Jue, but if the two are really combined, not only Lin Jue, who married a farmer, will not be able to adapt, but for the Meng family, a daughter-in-law with a hand disability who cannot work is not a blessing.
