"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun. The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it turns into a bird, and its name is Peng. Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is, and it flies angrily, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south. The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also. ”

Seeing that Shen Yuan didn't seem to understand, Gongye and Zhang Kou memorized a few sentences of Zhuangzi's "Getaway", and then looked at Shen Yuan full of disbelief, and said, "Don't look at Lao Tzu like this, those Taoist scriptures have been memorized like a stream decades ago! ”

Shen Yuan nodded and said, "Apprentice understands." ”

"You know what a fart!" Gongye and Shen were angry, "Hurry up and eat, and we'll leave here after eating." ”

"Master, where are we going?"

"Go to Shaoxing first, I heard that there is an ancient sword born here, I don't know whether it is true or not, I always have to go to see it; I will go to the Songyang Academy, where the mountain chief was favored by me a few years ago, and now I ask you for a few books from other places, so that he can guide you in learning; before the winter, you will go to Zhongnan Mountain. ”

As he was talking, he heard a noise outside the door, and the master and apprentice came out to take a look, only to see two Tsing Yi catchers carrying waist knives, with a group of officials, holding water and fire sticks, like wolves, pressing a fifty-year-old woman with iron chains and walking out of the city.

The woman's right leg was wounded, and although it was simply bandaged, blood still oozed out and dragged her all the way.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan was a little unbearable, raised his eyes to look at Gongyehe, but was treated as if he hadn't seen it, and turned around and wanted to enter the house.

Shen Yuan sighed slightly, and suddenly heard Gongyehe's "Huh", followed Gongyehe's gaze, and saw a little girl who was one or two years older than Shen Yuan quietly following behind the official along the bloodstains.

Gongye and Shen Yuan said lightly: "Wait here." With that, the figure appeared behind the girl in a flash, stretched out her hand and patted her shoulder gently, and the little girl said "Ah!" and sat down on the ground in fright, turned her head, and was full of panic.

Gong Yehe looked, this little girl is not very old, but she is very clever, although her face is panicked, her eyes are constantly turning, as if she wants to get out.

grinning, he lifted the girl up with one hand, and let the girl struggle, but to no avail. After a while, he returned to the restaurant. greeted Shen Yuan and went back to the inn together.

In the inn room, the little girl looked at the old man who grabbed her, and said in her heart: "This old man is weird, not like a good person, but the kid next to him has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he should be an honest child." Wasn't it just like me that I was caught by this old man?"

Thinking of this, I suddenly heard Gongye and the old owl-like voice say, "Girl, what's your name?"

The voice was terrible, and the little girl was so frightened that she retreated into the corner, not daring to answer.

Shen Yuan smiled: "Seeing that you are one or two years older than me, I will call you sister." Little sister, you don't have to be afraid, my master just speaks badly, and it was strange to see you secretly following that group of officials, so I wanted to ask you why you followed them, maybe we can help. ”

"It turned out to be a master and apprentice. The girl thought so, she looked at Gong Yehe, then at Shen Yuan, her eyes rolled, and then she began to cry, the tears couldn't stop flowing, and the humming cry made Shen Yuan scratch his ears and cheeks, and also made Gong Yehe irritable.

Gongye is usually crazy, but his mind is fine.

Don't look at this girl with a gray face, but if you look closely, she is a white and flawless beauty embryo, with smart apricot eyes, red lips and white teeth, and she has a lovely feeling. Although the pear blossoms are raining at this moment, there are half-truths and half-truths in this cry, so Gongyehe didn't make a sound, just watched from the sidelines.

Shen Yuan saw that he was crying, and he didn't know what to say, so he said in a panic: "Little sister, don't you have to cry, if you have any grievances, my master is good at martial arts, and if there is a difficulty, he will definitely help!" After speaking, Shen Yuan looked at Gong Yehe, "Yes, master?"

"It's not promising!" Gong Yehe rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart. But he said: "Don't cry, girl, what is your name first, why do you want to follow that class of officials?"

"Grandpa, will you help me rescue my mother-in-law?" the little girl asked cautiously, stopping her tears.

Seeing that Gongye and silent, he had to continue: "My name is He Nanxu, I live in North Zhaojia Village, Huayin County, the mother-in-law who was taken away was the mother's nurse, my own family fell in the middle of the road, my parents died, and I was left at home with my mother-in-law to rely on each other, just because yesterday my mother-in-law was working in Zhao Xianggong's house, and I broke a porcelain vase, that Zhao Xianggong did not forgive, and injured my mother-in-law's leg, and asked us to pay three hundred taels of silver to count, if I can't come up with the money, I will be asked to go to Zhao's house to be a child daughter-in-law for his little son, otherwise I will be arrested by the official!"

As he spoke, he began to sobb again.

Gongyehe heard the girl's name and thought about it, but Shen Yuan was angry beside him.

Then He Nanxu cried and said: "How can my mother-in-law let me suffer this grievance, and when I come back, she will take me to escape from this place overnight, just out of the customs, I don't want to be blocked at the ferry by this group of fast guards, my mother-in-law tried her best to let me escape, I don't want my mother-in-law to be arrested herself!

Gongyehe suddenly asked an irrelevant word, and said, "Girl, are you from Yunnan?"

He Nanxu was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, Gongye He seemed to understand something, and asked instead, "Are they going to Huayin?"

"Yes," He Nanxu saw that Gongye and didn't ask anything else, and hurriedly said yes, "Please also ask Ah Gong to save him." With that, he hurriedly bowed to Gongyehe. Gongyehe bowed and told her to get up.

Gongye said: "Without further ado, stinky boy, you and this girl will wait for me at the ferry outside the city before sunset." ”

"No, I'm going with me!" said He Nanxu hurriedly. But Shen Yuan pulled her and comforted: "Sister Nanxu, my master will definitely rescue your mother-in-law, if we follow, it will only get in the way and drag down the master." ”

Gongye He snorted coldly, "It's not that I'm afraid that you two will drag you down, it's just that you are walking too slowly, and I am afraid that you will harm your mother-in-law after a long time." ”

Hearing this, He Nanxu no longer insisted. After preparing dry food, after Gongye and left, Shen Yuan and He Nanxu also left the inn and headed for the ferry.

On the way from the inn to the ferry, He Nanxu was preoccupied and did not speak.

Shen Yuan explained all the way, so that He Nanxu could rest assured, but she didn't seem to hear it, and she responded without a match, and Shen Yuan didn't feel bored, so she stopped talking.

Until the crossing of the Yellow River, Shen Yuan looked at a dense forest nearby, lush, bluestone and green trees covering each other, it was an excellent hiding place.

Shen Yuan pointed to a big bluestone and said to He Nanxu: "It's better for us to hide behind that boulder, so as not to call the people of the government to find out, and after my master saves your mother-in-law, we will come out again." ”

"Okay!" He Nanxu looked at the place and saw that it was indeed good, and responded.

The two of them hid behind the boulder and sat on the ground, Shen Yuan took out a piece of bread and handed it to He Nanxu, who had long been hungry, was a little shy, took the cake and ate it slowly and methodically.

Shen Yuan watched from the sidelines, smiled stupidly, and said, "Sister Nanxu, you eat cakes so beautifully!"

The girl's face turned red, and she turned her head and scolded: "Phew, Deng's disciple!"

"What kind of disciple?" Shen Yuan didn't know what he meant, "Sister Nanxu, what I said is true, you are indeed good-looking, I can't even see enough!"

Where does a six-year-old child know etiquette, especially between men and women, it's just what he sees and says, but it's very simple.

But girls are different, He Nan is like drifting in the rivers and lakes early, and he understands it earlier.

At this moment, she had already washed her cheeks when she was in the inn, and her skin was like clotted white jade, which made Shen Yuan look stupid, so she couldn't help but say something Meng Lang. However, it is also called He Nanxu's face is hot, and the white and red appearance is even more cute.

Shen Yuan didn't know why, and asked again: "Sister, why did your face turn into a red date?"

"Bah, bah!" He Nanxu was embarrassed, grabbed Shen Yuan's ear and said, "You are so frivolous, I... I'll ignore you!"

She didn't think about what to say for a while, after all, she was an eight or nine-year-old girl, and she said cruel things that broke the sky, and that's all. However, this is extremely effective for Shen Yuan.

I heard Shen Yuan hurriedly say: "Isn't it okay if I don't praise you?"

He Nanxu looked at Shen Yuan's anxious appearance, and laughed out loud: "You are such a fool!"

Shen Yuan scratched his head and only smiled innocently. After all, it has been a long time since I have been so happy, and in fact, why is it not? Children rush to chase yellow butterflies and fly into cauliflower and nowhere to be found, so innocent and innocent, it is really rare.

It's easy for children to get acquainted with each other.

He Nanxu asked, "Why did you worship such a strange old man as a master?"

"Master, his old man's martial arts are extremely high," Shen Yuan said seriously, "Others always say that he is a murderer, but I don't think so." ”

"What about your parents?" asked He Nanxu again.

I only heard Shen Yuan sigh and say, "It's all dead!"

Speaking of this, the two of them invariably showed a trace of bitterness, looked at each other and smiled, and actually gave birth to a sense of sympathy and sympathy for each other. Chatting and chatting, seeing the red sun slanting in the west, the two poked their heads out and looked, only to see that the woman really followed Gongye and came to the ferry.
