"Old fellow, have you really already thought about it, are you not going to leave after the New Year with me?"

Chen Mu also felt deep helplessness for the old man in front of him, since he first met, he had never been able to change the old man's mind.

Wang Xuanlang shook his head at Chen Mu.

"I've calculated that if I stay any longer, I won't have enough time on the road. ”

"There's really no way?"

"Alas!"

Wang Xuanlang sighed, then shook his head again.

"If I can stay longer, why can't I stay?"

Then, he turned his gaze to Jiang Ergou and reached out to touch his head.

"What can you do about such a lazy thing. If he doesn't hurry up and let him go out to practice, then he won't have much success in his life. ”

Ergou hated it when others touched his head, but this time he unexpectedly didn't dodge, just muttered.

"Old man, why do you like to pull everything on me!"

Hearing Jiang Ergou's words, Wang Xuanlang immediately turned his eyes sideways and pretended to be very angry.

"Aren't you lazy?"

In this regard, Ergou was immediately speechless, but Chen Xici looked at this scene and said with a smile.

"Ergou boy, in fact, reading is also helpful for martial arts, I think your master and he have been reading books with me for three years, everything in the world is connected, if you can grasp the essence of it, you can also read a product!"

It's no problem to let Ergou do anything else, even if it's an extremely boring martial arts practice, he is willing to do it in his heart, but the last thing he wants to face is to study alone.

"Old man Chen, I'm about to leave, can you stop being verbose like my master, I've been reading here for so long, haven't you tortured me enough?"

Chen Mu looked at Ergou's expression and laughed.

"Okay, since that's the case, I won't talk about it, I hope that Ergouzi will step into the realm of a first-grade sword immortal as soon as possible like your master. ”

At this moment, Ergou's face can be regarded as turning from sunny to cloudy.

"Hey, hey, old man Chen, you can still speak. ”

After that, Ergou turned his attention to Chen Xici, a little girl who had a sad face when she got up early in the morning.

In fact, for this little girl, Ergou doesn't know how to face it, although Chen Xici's little girl looks sweet, but Ergou still regards her more as a younger sister, probably because the Qin woman who met for the first time in the rivers and lakes occupies a lot of position in his heart.

"I will come back to see you in the future, if I have the opportunity, I will take you to see the rivers and lakes where your father and mother are located!"

Chen Xici's depressed little face improved a little.

"What does it mean to have a chance, you must come back and take me to see it! If you dare not come, I will remember you for the rest of your life!"

The little girl's words made Ergou's back ooze sweat, and it seemed that it was very painful to be remembered by such a cute little girl.

"No, no, I'll be back!"

Ergou hurriedly changed his statement, and the little girl forced herself to smile.

"Count you as acquaintances!"

"Alright, it's time to go, and if we drag it out any longer, we'll have to stay another day. ”

Wang Xuanlang stood up in time to break the slightly embarrassing situation.

Ergou carried the burden and the Kunwu knife took one last look at Chen Xici, and the little girl turned around and followed the master away, in fact, Ergou's heart was not very uncomfortable, and he knew that he would come back to this place with his own feelings.

Looking at Jiang Ergou's departing figure, Chen Xici, who could still pretend to be happy, collapsed, and the old man Chen Mu, who knew it, naturally saw this scene in his eyes.

"What's the matter? My little granddaughter doesn't believe you'll meet again?"

"Grandpa, I'm worried about this, but the little master Qingfa in Hanshan Temple said that my marriage will fall on the word ginger. ”

"Isn't that just right?"

Chen Mu asked suspiciously.

"But what the little master Qingfa said was the Jiang character of Jiang Gui's nature, not the river of the second dog brother and the third water worker. ”

Chen Mu laughed when he heard this.

"My little Xici, you must know that he should have been the Jiang character of Jiang Gui's nature!"

"Really?"

The little girl's look of surprise was beyond words.

"Really!"

Hearing her grandfather's affirmative words, the little girl immediately blushed, that's it, missing the second half of his grandfather's words!

"It's just that stubborn old man! Maybe in the future, there will be no chance to see him again!"

......

After Jiang Ergou's master and apprentice came out of Chen Mu's courtyard, they went straight to the Huai River, which runs through Suzhou and Hangzhou.

On the way, Wang Xuanlang, as a master, couldn't help but smile when he looked at his apprentice's expression.

"I said Ergouzi, who do you think is beautiful between Qin Nuxia and Chen Xici's little girl?"

"Old man, can you just stop making fun of me about this, I'm already sick to death by now. ”

"My second dog will be uncomfortable too? I thought you would be very open!"

The nose and eyes of the second dog are wrinkled together, but they still have to endure the sarcasm of this old man.

"Old man, who can see this kind of thing! Anyway, I have nothing to do. ”

"How can there be no way!"

"You have?"

The second dog looked at Wang Xuanlang suspiciously, but the latter laughed very slyly.

"You never thought about marrying both of them!"

Ergou's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again.

"It's as easy as you say!"

"It's not easy and not easy for you! Men can coax a little, so naturally they don't worry about their wives. ”

Ergou said angrily.

"Then I haven't seen you coax a few!"

The old man was not angry at Ergou's self-deprecating words.

"You stinky boy, you use your own master as a negative teaching material!"

"What if that's not the case? I can't do it here, old man, I can see it, you were lucky when you were young, and you met Master Ruyue, otherwise, even you, an old man, will have a woman like you?"

Wang Xuanlang said with a calm expression.

"Ergou, you want to practice swords!"

Ergou hurriedly pushed his hand and said.

"Don't, I'll just say it casually, you must not take it seriously!"

"Ergouzi, I have to say, you don't have any other skills, but the ability to speak according to the current situation is really not small!"

"That's nature. ”

Obviously, the old man's words were mocking, but the second dog looked very proud.

......

All the way to the bank of the Huai River, but surprisingly there was not a single boat sailing on the wide river, all of them stopped on the shore, neatly lined up.

"Hey, there's a boatman who wants to cross the river, the price is negotiable, it's really not good, I can add money!"

As soon as he arrived at the shore, Ergou released the spirit of the rivers and lakes, and his pride was extraordinary.

"Walking, do you still want to cross the river in this weather, aren't you afraid of falling into the river and freezing into ice sculptures?"

An old man came out of the nearest passenger ship and said.

"Boatman, can you make it convenient, we do have something to hurry to cross the river, I can add money, is ten taels of silver enough!"

The boatman's eyes clearly flashed with excitement, but he was still not ready to gamble with his own life!

"I said two guest officers, although this Huai River is called a river, it is actually wider than those rivers! Besides, although this river looks calm, there is actually a lot of ice in it. If it is a big ship made by the imperial court, there is naturally no problem sailing here, but a small ship like ours will be doomed if we are not careful!"

In the end, the boatman said some of his thoughts, and in the end, he still couldn't give up the ten taels of silver.

"Or, two guest officers, I have an idea here what do you think, just wait for the night, according to my many years of experience in sailing, the snow will stop later, let her melt overnight, and we will cross the river early tomorrow morning!"

Ergou didn't pay attention to the danger that the boatman said.

"Hey, I won't say more, in a word, fifteen taels of silver, you can't go!"

The boatman's expression was even more excited, but his years of sailing experience told him that there would be an accident when he went out like this, so he was not prepared to take them across the river.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's more important than silver. ”

"Ergou, why bother them!"

I saw Wang Xuanlang lifting Jiang Ergou with one hand, and the long sword behind him suddenly came out of its sheath, suspended on the soles of his feet, and rode away, across the Huai River!
