Lu An gnawed on the steamed buns and scolded secretly, he took the wrong path, and took 1,000 taels, the merchant's mouth is really powerful, and he was deceived by 1,000 taels in one night.

But that person's tears should be real, crying so badly, thinking of this, Lu An smirked again and shook his head.

"It's better to go home as soon as possible, it's been a long delay. Lu An whispered.

.........

Sword Pavilion, Sword Mountain.

"You've been here for so many days, isn't it time to change your mood, and stay in a daze all day long. A magnetic male voice said.

Su Mu was taken aback by this voice, and said angrily: "Why did you suddenly come out, it scared me." ”

"Who made you in a daze every day, brought you back for so many days, and you don't know what you're doing all day long. Xiaobai said.

"You're just like those old men, take care of this and that. Su Mu continued to prop his head and said.

"It's not because those old men complained to me, otherwise I wouldn't care about you, still thinking about that stinky boy?"

Su Mu twisted his head and replied: "Nonsense, I don't have it, I just don't want to move, I can finally rest for a while, of course I have to rest well, I can't rush here." ”

Xiao Bai chuckled twice, walked to Su Mu's side, stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the scenery in the distance, and said, "The scenery of this Sword Mountain is really beautiful, I have to take a few more looks." ”

Su Mu pulled Xiaobai to the ground, and the two of them sat cross-legged.

"Then stay here for a while, watch this sea of clouds, the ebb and flow of the tide, watch the sunset, the afterglow shines. Su Mu said with a smile.

"This legendary Sword Mountain Cloud Dragon Playing Pearl, it's not something you can watch if you want to, normal people can't see it a few times in their lives, can you see it after sitting stupidly for so many days?" Xiao Bai said disdainfully.

Su Mu shook his head and whispered, "It's about to be sunset, I think I can see it today." ”

Xiao Bai shrugged his shoulders and stared at the sea of clouds.

Su Mu sighed quietly and muttered, "The sun is setting." ”

Xiaobai glanced at Su Mu, glanced at the calm sea of clouds, and scolded secretly: "Trouble." ”

When Su Mu was about to get up and leave, the originally calm sea of clouds instantly churned, like ocean waves, one after another.

And the sun, which was about to sink into the sea of clouds, became extremely dazzling at the moment when the tide ebbed and flowed, like a pearl that emitted light.

Su Mu's eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "Look, the clouds have moved, and the sunset has actually floated again." ”

In the churning sea of clouds, a huge object suddenly appeared, swimming in the sea of clouds, as if the churning sea of clouds was stirred by this object.

Su Mu saw with his own eyes that a cloud-like body was churning and spinning around the setting sun.

"Out, out, appeared, clouds, cloud dragons. Su Mu stammered, his eyes looking straight into the distance.

The cloud dragon circled around the setting sun in the sea of clouds again and again, and its huge body instantly occupied the entire sea of clouds, but the dragon head did not appear in the sea of clouds.

Gradually, the sea of clouds tended to calm down, no longer churning, only the body of the cloud dragon was still fixed on the sea of clouds.

And at this moment, the sunset was about to sink into the sea of clouds, and suddenly a cloud dragon's head appeared from the calm sea of clouds, shaking the sea of clouds away, and the dazzling sunset appeared in front of Su Mu's eyes again.

Then in an instant, the cloud dragon's head pounced on the sunset again, and opened its mouth to swallow the sunset directly into the sea of clouds.

Su Mu looked at the sea of clouds that was slowly regaining calm, turned his head and said happily to Xiaobai behind him, "Did you see it, I said I could see it today." ”

Xiao Bai sighed and said, "Since you saw it, then you can start practicing tomorrow, right?"

Su Mu nodded happily and said, "No problem, I will make up for the 2 years I wasted before." ”

"Since you said that, don't lose to others, otherwise it will be very embarrassing. Xiaobai touched Su Mu's head and said.

"Oh, who?" asked Su Mu in surprise.

"It seems that the name of the prince of Ningguo has forgotten, it is said that he is a young man with a talent for sword immortals, and the old people in the pavilion are very optimistic, but in terms of talent, our little Mu Mu has not been afraid of anyone. Xiaobai said with a smile.

Su Mu sighed, then knocked off the hand on his head, and said angrily: "Don't touch your head, your hairstyle is going to be messed up, and you have to comb your hair again." ”

Xiao Bai Gan laughed twice, looked at the direction where Su Mu left, and looked back at the calm and deep sea of clouds.

.........

It took Lu An seven days, and finally arrived, passing through several small towns on the way, replenishing dry food several times, and after that, he was always on the road, and he also saved several people on the way.

Lu An shook the sword that was still stained with blood in his hand, and found that it was not shaken clean, so he squatted down and wiped it on the lying person.

"There are a lot of thieves along the way, and they don't play cards according to the routine, alas. Lu An looked at the seven or eight people lying on the ground and said.

The past few days have been colorful, and they are not as boring as coming out of Saibei City a few days ago.

Along the way, since passing through Qingshui Town, these people have been rushing out like locusts, batch after batch, but fortunately, there are not many people, two or three less, seven or eight more, and when they see more than ten, Lu An runs away.

Compared with the peaceful hurry, this kind of thing still adds a lot of fun to Lu An, but for this gang of thieves, there is no mercy at all, and they are all killed.

Whenever he encountered this kind of thing, Lu An would sigh that the world was unstable, and he began to worry about his 1,000 taels.

Lu An patted his face and continued to hurry, probably estimating that he should be at his home, Cha County, after walking for another half a day.

Tea County, which is said to have been famous for its tea production a long time ago, has hundreds of tea mountains throughout the county, and the quality is extremely high. But what makes it really famous is that according to legend, three hundred years ago, a fairy tea was produced here, which is said to be the white jade fairy tea.

It is said that an old farmer was chopping firewood, strayed into a mountain stream, this mountain stream is cloudy and misty all the year round, and it is impossible to see the depth, after the old farmer entered, he walked for a long time and did not find a way out, and he saw an unusual tea tree as a result.

Tea leaves, the branches are as crystal clear as white jade, and exude a clean light, the old man is very curious, thinking it is a sculpture, after touching it, he found that it is really a tea tree.

A tea farmer found such an unusual tea tree, he thought that this tea tree was the ancestor of the tea tree, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, and found that there were only seven or eight tea leaves on it, and he couldn't hold back his desires, so he carefully picked three tea leaves, and then kept them closely.

After the old man spent another day finally walked out, when he returned home, he was very curious, and soaked a piece of tea to drink, but when he got up the next day, the whole person was ten years younger, and the villagers were surprised, and when they heard the old man tell this story, they began to look for this fairy tea that can make people rejuvenate, as if even the emperor sent people to look for it at that time.

Then there was a search all over the mountains, and thousands of people turned over these hundreds of tea mountains, but in the end they found no information.

I don't know how long it took, this matter was over, and then the old man disappeared, and the two remaining tea leaves disappeared with him.

But the white jade fairy tea is regarded as a treasure in the world. Later, some people said that this fairy tea had also appeared in other places, but they had only heard about it.

Lu An came to a somewhat familiar tea shop and sat down.

The boss immediately walked over and asked with a smile, "This little brother, what do you want to drink?"

When Lu An heard this, he immediately replied: "A bowl of green tea." ”

"My brother is very discerning, our green tea here is the most flavorful tea, and everyone who has drunk it says it's good. When the boss heard the word green tea, he looked at Lu An with appreciation.

Lu An nodded, in Lu An's memory, green tea is the real signboard here in Tea County, if Bai Yuxian Tea is a legend high above, then Green Tea is the approachable existence of Tea County.

The annual output may be tens of thousands of catties, exported to all over the country, it is a lazy thing to survive in the tea county, this kind of tea, not only the output is more, the price is cheap, and the taste is unique, with a unique grass fragrance, the entrance aroma goes straight to the brain, very refreshing, and there is a fresh grass fragrance after the tasting, so it is also called grass tea. However, this tea has a disadvantage, that is, it is a little astringent and has a strong taste, so everyone thinks that this tea is a bit unavailable.

The boss carried a pot of grass and put it in front of Lu An.

Lu An poured himself a glass, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and then took a sip.

I couldn't help laughing, it was still the same taste, and my body, which had been a little tired after traveling for many days, was suddenly refreshed after taking this sip of tea.

Seeing the change in Lu An's expression, the boss suddenly laughed heartily and said, "How is it, isn't this tea amazing, refreshing?"

Lu An nodded.

The owner of the tea shop continued: "Looking at the appearance of the little brother, he should have been in a hurry, I don't know where I want to go?"

Lu An glanced at his dress, the four words of wind and dust seemed to be just right, he had been sleeping outside for this time, and his original clean clothes had already become dirty and messy at the moment, and after smelling it carefully, there seemed to be a smell on his body.

But fortunately, my face can be groomed, otherwise I would be a refugee, and it would be difficult for him to be able to entertain this refugee, otherwise it is still a bit suspenseful whether this pot of tea money can be obtained.

Lu An smiled awkwardly and replied: "It's true that I've been on the road for more than ten days, and I've been sleeping in the open on the road, so let the boss see the joke." ”

The owner of the tea shop shook his head and said: "Young man, it's good to study with a sword, go out and have a look, don't care about the subsections here, as the saying goes, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, and I admire a reader like a little brother the most in my life......"

Lu An listened to the words of the tea shop owner, and interrupted a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I just want to go home and have a look." ”

When the owner of the tea shop heard this, he immediately said: "The young man returns to his hometown at a young age, and he is filial piety." ”

Lu An listened to the words of this boss and suddenly didn't know how to get better, so he could only say weakly: "The boss is really good." ”

The owner of the tea shop immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, I'm just an honest man, how can I say anything." ”

Although he said so on his mouth, the expression on his face betrayed him, and the smile was really satisfied.

Then Lu An finished drinking the pot of tea by himself, got up and stretched, then took out five cents and put it on the table, and left.

The owner of the tea shop came to collect the money, and found that there were five cents, and said, "The children can be taught." ”

Lu An walked forward according to his memory, and finally took a little time to come to the street he was familiar with.

It's still the same, the bun shop and the baked cake shop are still next to each other, I don't know if they have quarreled and grabbed business in the past few years?

Then there is a grain and oil store, and then there is a small restaurant, and the dilapidated houses around the rest of the surrounding areas continue to be dilapidated.

There are two small teahouses not far from the restaurant, and there is a blacksmith shop not far away.

The rest are some fruit shops, pastry shops, clothing shops, etc., but these are relatively unfamiliar to Lu An when he was a child, buying fruits, pastries, or buying clothes are all luxury things for Lu An.

Lu An didn't rush home, and wandered around this street, but fortunately, this street is still the same, there is no change, it is still the same as before.

However, after shaking around, Lu An found that no one recognized him.

may also be because he has changed too much in the past few years, the children who used to be short and thin are now considered to have grown up, the whole person has grown a lot taller, and the person has become much stronger, and the spirit of the whole person has changed a lot, and it is reasonable not to recognize it.

Lu An wandered around and found that everything was still as usual.

Then he walked towards his home and approached an alley.

In the alley, many old women were sitting in the shade, and when they saw such a stranger as Lu An coming to this place, they all looked puzzled and whispered from time to time, and Lu An responded with a smile to them.

The children who were originally playing nearby were also attracted by Lu An, a stranger, and followed Lu An's back to probe their brains, and they were curious.

In the end, Lu An walked deeper and deeper, and the chatter behind him and the children following became less and less, because the house in this place was old and old, as if it was about to fall if it was gently pushed. Children are restrained by their elders and never come here to play. I won't come here to play with my companions, because it's not the same kind of people.

Because at this age, the companions here have already gone up to the mountains to chop wood, pick tea and medicine, and worry about supporting their families.

Lu An walked a few steps, his expression was gloomy, according to the past, there should be an old man on this stone pier, as long as it doesn't rain, he will sit there from morning to night, squinting and closing his eyes to recuperate, and every time he sees it, he will smile and say hello.

Now the stone mound is covered with moss.

After continuing to take a few steps forward, there was a gloom again, Lu An stood in front of a collapsed house, which should also be an old man, and a good friend of Lu An when he was a child, but he didn't even have a home at the moment.

Continuing to move forward, Lu An's dull mood finally improved a little.

In the whole dilapidated alley, there was an old man sitting in his usual position.

Lu An walked up to him, squatted down slightly, and glanced at him.

The old man slept peacefully, Lu An stretched out his hand and gently grabbed his hand, the old man twitched, and then grabbed Lu An's hand and touched it.

The old man opened his miserable white eyes and shouted twice at Lu Anwawa.

Lu An squeezed his hand and said yes.

The old man continued to scream a few times, and his expression became excited and relieved.

Lu An knew that the old man recognized him, and at this moment, Lu An's eyes were hot, and he almost cried directly.

So he accompanied the old man and sat there, holding their hands tightly all the time.

After a while, the old man's hand was released, and the whole person fell asleep quietly.

Lu An got up and glanced at the old man twice.

Unexpectedly, in the end, no one recognized themselves, except this deaf, dumb and blind old man.

It is said that he was also a veteran, and later became crippled, deaf and dumb, so he retired and came to such a place, but after a few years of staying blind again, fortunately, the people in this alley are more nostalgic, although they are very poor, but they will not let him starve to death.

As a result, I didn't expect that the person who survived to the end turned out to be him, and several other old people had already left, and only he was still sitting in his position.

Lu An took a deep breath and eased his mood.

was originally a relatively popular place, but now there is only such a person left.

Lu An walked forward slowly and came to a door.

It's been three years, and it's finally back.

Lu An looked at the door, and with a gentle push, the door opened.
