At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the sixth master came back.

"How is it, have you seen the old enemy?" Before the sixth master put away the bicycle, the sixth grandmother couldn't wait to ask.

"People didn't let them see before the verdict. The sixth master said dejectedly.

"What can I do, I can't see anyone, and I can't ask why. The sixth grandmother said.

"No need to ask, I must be trying to take the blame for Shiwa. As he spoke, the sixth master set up his bicycle and took a big sip of a water cup on the low table under the eaves.

Putting down the water glass, the sixth master continued: "There is no way now." The old feud has already confessed to everything. ”

"Huh, how do you know?" said the sixth grandmother, adding water to the teapot, and then picking up the teapot and filling the cup that the sixth master had drunk.

"If the people in the office say it themselves, it may be sentenced in a day or two. The sixth master sat down at the low table.

I, who had always been worried about my father, heard that the sixth master said that my father had confessed and was about to be sentenced, and my heart was like knocking over the five-flavor bottle, and I was sad for a while.

"Is Daddy hopeless?" I asked.

"I'm trying to figure it out. "The sixth master was a little depressed.

"It's up to you to come up with a good idea. The sixth grandmother said.

"No, I'll go to Shouyang Mountain, find my ancestor, and beg him to find a way to save the old man. The sixth master said suddenly.

"I said, old man, are you in a hurry, your ancestor is a monk, how can a monk manage worldly affairs. Even if you can manage it, you can't go back for three or four days, and when you come back, maybe the old enemy will already be sentenced. The sixth grandmother said again.

As he was talking, the door creaked open, and a voice came from outside the door: "Is Senior Brother Yong at home?"

Then a head poked out of the crack in the door.

The sixth master stood up and walked towards the gate. At the same time, a person came in outside the door.

"Senior brother, is that you?" the sixth master shouted in surprise.

"Oh, Senior Brother Yong, your home is really hard to find, I inquired all the way to find here. This alley, twisted and crooked, is like a maze. As soon as the man saw the sixth master, he chattered endlessly.

"Just now I said that I was going up the mountain, but I don't want you to come right away, senior brother. Come in, get in!" Daddy took the man's hand and pulled it into the house.

"It's boring in the house, let's sit under the eaves, it's cool and bright. The man said.

The sixth master took the burden on the man's shoulder and the sword in his hand, and put it on the windowsill under the eaves. The two sat on either side of the low table.

Only then did I realize that the man's appearance was a little strange, he was wearing a long cyan robe, high-top boots on his feet, his beard was more than half a foot long, floating on his chest, his long hair was coiled on the top, and he was wearing a long hairpin, and his beard was black with a little silver thread. He looked to be in his sixties.

Seeing me staring at him, and seeing weapons on the edge of the courtyard, the man pointed at me and my brother and asked, "Is this your apprentice?"

The sixth master looked at the two of us who were still walking in the courtyard, and said, "You two should also rest and drink saliva, it is the first time that Xiao Yuan has worked so hard today, it is worthy of praise, come and sit." ”

My brother and I put away our horses and sat down on the bench under the eaves.

"These are my two nephews, and they've been practicing with me lately. It's also an apprentice. The sixth master said to the man.

After speaking, he said to me and my brother: "This is my senior brother of Shouyang Mountain, named Yi Qichong. What are you going to call ——,?"

The sixth master looked at the man and continued: "According to the generation, you should call a master, and according to the relationship between teachers and teachers, you should call you uncles." Well——, then call it Chong Shibo. ”

The man said, "It's good to call your uncle, it's good to call your uncle." ”

My brother and I stood up, saluted above, and called out, "Uncle Chong." ”

The man smiled and said, "Don't be polite, sit down, sit down." ”

Yi Qichong was once mentioned in the story of my father, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today, but the young man in the story is now a half-old person, and I am impressed by the opportunity in the world.

"Senior brother, are you passing by in the village this time or do you have something to do?" After chatting for a while, the sixth master asked.

Uncle Chong's face gradually became gloomy.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Master, he ......."

Speaking of this, Uncle Chong hesitated, glanced at the sixth master and continued: "Senior Ancestor has been feeling cold recently, and I want to see Senior Brother Sheng, so I specially came down the mountain to invite him up the mountain this time. ”

As soon as he heard that the ancestor was sick, the sixth master anxiously asked: "Does the ancestor's body matter?" He is now a hundred years old, and our two brothers have lived in the world for many years, and have never performed a day of filial piety in front of the ancestor, so I am really ashamed to think about it. This time, I will go up the mountain with you to serve the ancestor for a period of time. ”

Uncle Chong smiled reluctantly and said, "Senior Brother Yong, you don't have to worry. This time it's just a minor illness. The master has been paying attention to physical and mental cultivation for decades, and he has become an immortal body, and he will be fine. If you have the heart to fulfill your filial piety, if you have time to go up the mountain to celebrate your birthday next year, when your master celebrates his 120th birthday, it is okay to stay in the mountains for a little longer. It's just that this time the ancestor only ordered me to ask the senior brother to go up the mountain alone, if you go together, the ancestor will naturally be happy to see you, but I will have a reputation for being poor among the senior brothers. ”

The sixth master was originally a straight person, and as soon as he heard these words, he said with a mouth: "Senior brother is right, next year, we will hold a 120-year-old immortal birthday celebration for our ancestors." ”

Uncle Chong smiled reluctantly, with a sad look on his face.

"Just now I went to save my brother's house, and the doors of their house were open, and when I went in, I found that there was no one, and no one came back after waiting for an hour or two. Do you know where he is today?" asked Master Chong suddenly.

The sixth master pointed to the courtyard wall on the left hand side and said, "Well, his house is next door, and his door is never locked." ”

Uncle Chong said with a puzzled face: "When I came out of his house, I heard about you all the way, and I walked two or three miles, how could I be next door, I knew that I would call you at the wall." ”

The sixth master laughed out loud after hearing this, and said while laughing: "This is the strange phenomenon of our village. ”

After a while, the sixth master sank his face and said, "Senior Brother Zheng has been in trouble for the past two days. ”

Uncle Chong asked, "What's the matter?"

The sixth master said: "He entered the bureau. ”

Uncle Chong exclaimed, "What did he do to save his brother? He doesn't look like a traitor." ”

The sixth master said: "He didn't do anything. ”

Uncle Chong was even more puzzled: "How can you go in if you don't commit a crime?"

The sixth master said: "Alas——! he turned himself in." ”

Uncle Chong said: "The more you say it, the more I don't understand, since you haven't committed any crimes, where did you come from to turn yourself in." Is that still a crime?"

The sixth master told Uncle Chong about the cause and effect of the matter.

"This thing is really difficult to do!" said Uncle Chong after listening to the experience.

The sixth master said, "I'm also worried about this." ”

Uncle Chong tilted his head and thought for a long time and said, "According to your speculation, he is here to apologize for the young man in your village." But I still can't figure out why he did that. Even if that young man was wronged, he would not have risked his own life to maintain justice. Besides, according to what you said, hasn't that young man also been judged? ”

The sixth master said: "According to common sense, it is difficult for him to understand this, but if you understand a situation, you can understand Senior Brother Zheng." ”

Uncle Chong asked, "What's the situation?" ”

The sixth master whispered in Uncle Chong's ear for a while, and Uncle Chong nodded slowly and said, "That's no wonder." ”

At this moment, the door slammed open to both sides, and a man rushed in.
