Approaching the end of the year, Xiaohai was ordered to help clean up the house, prepare New Year's goods with the master, prepare for the new year, and clean the yard and house.

Xiao Hai lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and the master also stood there obediently and didn't dare to interject, after all, he was also lazy to go out to play chess, and then he was scolded back.

Jin Shifu went to cook angrily, and the master said, "Xiaohai, these days, our two fathers have honestly accompanied your mother for the New Year, and went to clean the house, how can you sweep the world if you don't sweep the house!"

The two of them took the rag and the broom and started to get busy.

The family had a happy year, Xiaohai was finally fourteen years old, the master said that according to the customs of some places, it is possible to marry a wife and have children, Xiaohai sneered and lost his eyes, in fact, he occasionally thinks of the girl with a white veil, but just think about it, Xiaohai said that even if he can't marry such a beautiful wife in the future, at least he can make the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law good.

Xiaohai is sometimes secretly happy, if she really marries that girl, will Aunt Jin like it?

After the New Year, it was spring in a blink of an eye, and Xiaohai's family was happy to celebrate the New Year, and Aunt Jin still went to the dyeing workshop to do odd jobs as always, and occasionally went to some other rich and noble families to do odd jobs.

Xiao Hai didn't go to school anymore, Wu Yi began to build the meteorite for Xiao Hai after the New Year, Xiao Hai came one day to fool around with Xiao Hai without anything to do, the little brothers drank tea in a teahouse, called for some dried fruits, and then listened to the play on the stage and sang a little song, Xiao Hai sat on the bench, one-legged Hai stepped on the chair, and Zhao Gang continued to blow him to what he had seen and heard outside in the past two years, Zhao Gang was fascinated by what he listened to, especially when he heard the Rouge Lane in Yangzhou City, his eyes lit up.

I want to invite Xiaohai to go to Rouge Lane in Wuyou Town again, anyway, now they are also little adults. Xiaohai hit him on the head with a melon seed, saying that you want to go yourself, don't bother me.

The little brothers were chatting hotly, and there was a table of people in a partition not far away. There is a person sitting at the head, his face is like a crown of jade, dressed in green clothes, although he is sitting, his upper body is straight, and his instrument is lofty. It was Wei Zhengxian, who fought with Xiao Hai in Yamen Square a few years ago, and there were two older young people sitting on his right, their clothes were the same as Wei Zhengxian, but their appearance was far worse than Wei Zhengxian, typical of two passers-by, and on his right hand was Wei Xiuyin, who was about to engrave the word rich on his face.

They were chatting while drinking tea, and Wei Zheng spoke first: "Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Wang." This time, our Bohai Sect photographed the two senior brothers to come here, not just for the sect to recruit disciples in July, right?"

The older man surnamed Feng said: "In addition to sending a letter to Master Wei, I also want to help Senior Brother Wei recruit disciples, I heard that Wuyou Town is an outstanding person and has many talents, and the sect wants us to collect some good seedlings to go back, I think this younger brother of yours is good at cultivating silver, can Young Master Wei be willing to be like my sect?"

Wei Xiuyin was overjoyed, and hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked: "Two senior brothers, my father once explained that no matter what, he wanted me to enter the Bohai Sect, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to let my brother stay in Wuyou Town for two years to enlighten me!"

The one surnamed Feng and the one surnamed Wang laughed and said: "That's good, in fact, our master knew about your existence early on, and he also intended to let you enter the sect directly, but this year, the world's sects usually accept disciples, and this time they made an exception to go down the mountain to take the initiative to recruit disciples, and of course the Bohai Sect also wants to take this opportunity to recruit some wizards who learn martial arts for my master's use." Master specially explained that you have to enter the town together in Wuyou Town, and we will help Young Master Wei bring it back to the sect by the way. ”

Wei Xiuyin's heart blossomed, but he still had to pretend to be very calm on his face.

The surnamed Feng continued: "Senior Brother Wei, have you found any good seedlings in Wuyou Town?" Wei Zheng replied first: "Senior Brother Huifeng, Wuyou Town is worthy of being an outstanding person, the students here are very good, not only the Tan family, the Yue family, but even the ordinary people's homes have good seedlings, I heard that other sects will also come here to select some good seedlings." ”

The surnamed Wang said in surprise: "Wu Youzhen looks inconspicuous, why are there so many seedlings? And in recent years, I haven't heard that the famous task on the rivers and lakes is from Wu Youzhen?"

Wei Zhengxian said: "Senior brother doesn't know, this Wuyou Town was set up by the founding Taizu himself. Taizu made a lot of chivalrous efforts to fight the world, and after Taizu won the world, he opened up this place, so that those people in the rivers and lakes and some veterans lived here, and then gradually let some meritorious ministers retire and live here, for example, our Wei family was born and died with Emperor Taizu. Later, Emperor Taizu issued an edict to let the ancestors cultivate in this place, and the same is true for the Tan family and the Yue family. In recent years, there have been no good seedlings, but I believe that the roots of the children here must be better than those in other places. ”

The surnamed Feng smiled and said: "What I heard is that although your ancestors have made meritorious contributions to the establishment of Emperor Taizu, he has always been afraid of these forces in the rivers and lakes, and there are very few people in this group who can become officials after the founding of Taizu." It is said that this group of people will live here for a long time, but in fact, you will be imprisoned here, otherwise why would the small Wuyou Town set up a county government and so many officers and soldiers?"

Wei Zhengxian smiled and said: "It's just that my personal opinion is different, I think Emperor Taizu did the right thing, the people in the rivers and lakes themselves are from a reckless background, and they should be the parents or generals of one party, or those who are proficient in the art of war in the history books." Moreover, Emperor Taizu does not rule the country by force, although most of the people in the rivers and lakes are chivalrous, it is easy to resonate with the people, of course, the court must be jealous, to say something unpleasant, the more dull and weak the people, the happier the officials. Those Jianghu people who have made meritorious contributions are meritorious, and Taizu is rewarded, so it is also a pleasure to let them live and work in peace and contentment here. Fortunately, after more than 100 years of baptism, Wuyou Town is no different from other places, and there is nothing strange about it. ”

The surnamed Wang said: "Senior Brother Wei is reasonable, I think that the descendants of those people in the rivers and lakes have the roots and bones of martial arts, and it is not surprising that some good seedlings of martial arts are produced." But have you ever discovered a genius?"

Wei Zhengxian said with a smile: "Don't say it, there is indeed one." It's a classmate of Xiuyin's cousin, named Yan Xiaohai, who was able to walk more than twenty rounds under me when he was eleven years old. ”

The surnamed Feng was surprised: "Eleven-year-old has this kind of skill?!"

Wei Xiuyin suddenly interjected: "That's because my brother was careless, and my brother thought that he wanted him to enter the sect, so he was merciful, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go for three rounds under my brother!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly made a color first, asked him not to talk too much, and then said: "That little guy is indeed outstanding, no one can stand out in the past few years I have observed in Wuyou Town, but unfortunately he directly refused at that time." And the real power is his master. ”

The surnamed Feng asked, "How do you say this?"

Wei Zhengxian said: "I can't say, I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, when I see his master, I always feel the murderous aura in his eyes, which makes me shudder, but I have inquired in many ways that no one has ever done anything with him in the town, and I don't know the depth." ”

Wei Zhengxian deliberately didn't say how scared he was at that time, and he didn't want to lose the price in front of his senior brother. Wei Xiuyin added: "I heard that this Yan Xiaohai's master is called Hong Yiliang, who goes to the mountains to collect medicine all the year round, and often encounters some fierce beasts. Yan Xiaohai also practiced it in this way. ”

The surnamed Feng said: "This is not important, if we have the opportunity, we will meet this master and apprentice in person." ”

Wei Xiuyin smiled secretly in his heart, wanting to wait to see these two senior brothers repair Yan Xiaohai. The surname Feng turned to King Xing and said: "But, Senior Brother Wang, have you ever remembered that there was a tragedy in Qufu, Shandong Province fourteen years ago? ”

The surnamed Wang said: "Of course I remember, senior brother, as soon as we entered the master's door that year, the master took us to Shandong to travel, and what we heard on the way was really miserable. Senior brother, you don't think that this Yan Xiaohai will have something to do with the Yan family, there are so many Yan surnames in the world, this probability is too low. ”

The surnamed Feng smiled and said, "I think it's the same reason." Just think about the tragedy that can happen in this peaceful and prosperous world, it is also appalling, it is said that I don't even know who committed the crime, more than ten years have passed and it has still become an unsolved case, and the huge Yan family died overnight. ”

Wei Xiuyin and Wei Zhengxian heard the words, and suddenly a young man came in from the interval, who was about the same age as Wei Xiuyin, and was also Xiao Hai's classmate, and asked Wei Xiuyin to go out at the door.

After Wei Xiuyin came out, he said, "Tan Song, you have something to do with me? I'm chatting with my family." ”

Tan Song pointed to a table near the stage and said, "Look over there!"

Wei Xiuyin saw that it was Xiao Hai and Zhao Gang, and he was fascinated by listening to the music there! Wei Xiuyin's teeth were itching, this Yan Xiaohai was simply a thorn in his eye, and he couldn't wait to go up and beat him to relieve his anger. But I knew I couldn't beat it. He rolled his eyes and counted on his mind.

He, Tan Song, was waiting outside, pay attention to Xiao Hai, don't let him run away.

Wei Xiuyin hurriedly returned to the partition and hugged his fists at everyone and said, "Senior brothers and brothers, Yan Xiaohai is outside, how many catties and taels he fell to the ground, why don't we go and find out? If he is really talented, the Bohai Sect will definitely benefit a lot if he is recruited." ”

Wei Xiuyin glanced at Wei Zhengxian, of course Wei Zhengxian knew his flowery intestines, and knew that this cousin could never swallow the breath of being ruined back then, but fortunately, he also wanted to see if this Yan Xiaohai had grown in the past two years.

Wei Zhengxian pretended to say: "It's better not to, we rushed over too abruptly and rudely." ”

The surnamed Feng said: "Alas, Senior Brother Wei's words are wrong, we are here to discover good talents, if we are really as good as you say, then we will lead him to the sect again, and it is also a kind of creation for him, and it is too late for him to be grateful." ”

Wei Xiuyin was also a little embarrassed in his heart, he was afraid that Xiao Hai was really a person from the Bohai Sect, so he would really be as uncomfortable as he was.

Xiao Hai's little brothers were listening to the music with relish, and suddenly Xiao Hai turned his head and saw Wei Zheng taking Wei Xiuyin and the others out of the partition first. Xiao Hai didn't want to pay attention to it at all, and shouted Zhao Gang to get up and leave directly.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, someone suddenly shouted: "Yan Shaoxia, please stay!" Xiao Hai heard Wei Zhengxian's voice, Xiao Hai and Zhao Gang stood at the door and watched a few of them come to Xiao Hai and them, Wei Xiuyin hugged his fists, and Xiao Hai returned the salute.

Wei Zhengxian said: "Yan Shaoxia hasn't seen him for more than two years, and he has grown a lot taller." ”

Xiao Hai smiled: "Child, grow up fast." ”

Wei Zhengxian smiled and said: "Yan Shaoxia, these two senior brothers of our Bohai Sect Fengxiao Hall and Wang Shiye are here behind me, our Bohai Sect has recruited outstanding disciples from all over the world since the opening of the sect, and my two senior brothers are in charge of this matter. Two years ago, Shaoxia's skills were amazing, I have already recommended it to the master, and Yan Shaoxia also said that he would consider this matter, I don't know if he is willing to enter my sect now?"

Xiao Hai hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Mr. Wei for your kindness, I am used to being free and casual, and I am not willing to be bound by the sect, I understand my kindness but I am sorry." ”

Feng Xiaotang stepped forward and said: "Shaoxia's words are wrong, there must be restrictions on entering my sect, but we can provide a large number of cultivation resources, and there are countless sect classics and famous teachers personally guided, so it will only be twice the result with half the effort on the road of martial arts." Don't miss a good opportunity. ”

Xiao Hai clenched his fists again and said: "Mr. Feng and the good intentions of your sect Xiao Hai have it, but I have made up my mind, please don't be surprised." ”

Wei Xiuyin was afraid that Xiao Hai would leave like this, so he hurriedly said: "Yan Xiaohai, you are really a hillbilly, no matter how many people in the world want to enter the Bohai Sect, they can't get in, you can't catch the pie in the sky!"

Xiao Hai sneered: "Young Master Wei, everyone has their own ambitions, so you can't force others to make it difficult." ”

Wei Xiuyin was worried about how to be polite and just happened to let them compete, when someone suddenly spoke on the road: "Xiaohai, what are you doing here?

The voice was extremely beautiful, Xiao Hai was too familiar with this voice, Xiao Hai turned around and saw that it was Aunt Jin who was looking at him with a serious face, and she was still holding a basket in her hand, which was full of tools from the dyeing workshop.

Xiao Hai hurriedly trotted over to take the basket, Aunt Jin looked at Xiao Hai with disgust and said that he, Zhao Gang couldn't run either, it was nothing more than peace and enjoyment at a young age, not a proper system or something.

They were talking here but they were shocked, their eyes stared at Aunt Jin, he never thought that there was such a stunning woman hidden in this inconspicuous Wuyou Town, although she was a little older and dressed plainly, but her words and deeds could not be stopped at all. He looked at it and felt itchy in his heart, and turned his head to ask Wei Xiuyin who this woman was.

Wei Xiuyin said with a smile: "This person is a widow who has been here for many years, I only know that people with the surname Jin are called Jin Widows, the neighbors of Yan Xiaohai's family, who brought Yan Xiaohai up, everyone said that his master likes this woman, but he has never been married, and most of the rumors are not true." How could such a beautiful woman fall in love with that sloppy man. ”

Feng Xiaotang was overjoyed in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it my mother?"

Wei Xiuyin said happily: "No, the Golden Widow came here a year before Yan Xiaohai's master and apprentice. ”

Wei Zhengxian said with a smile: "Senior Brother Feng, how can you be interesting to this person? I heard that this woman seems to be gentle but is actually very resolute, she has been widowed for many years, and the matchmaker ran away and broke her leg, but she didn't even like it." My uncle once went to propose relatives and was directly refused. She should be a loyal daughter. ”

Feng Xiaotang didn't speak and went straight to Aunt Jin'er's side, Aunt Jin was scolding the little brothers for not doing their jobs all day, and noticed that someone was walking towards her.

Aunt Jin turned around, just the two of them looked at each other, and for a moment Aunt Jin lowered her head and saluted Feng Xiaotang, Feng Xiaotang's heart was extremely itchy in an instant, and her saliva was about to stay.

He knew that he was out of shape and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "This lady, I am a disciple of the Bohai Sect Fengxiao Hall, this time I came to Wuyou Town to recruit disciples, I see that Brother Yan Xiaohai has a clear bone, he is a martial arts wizard, but Brother Xiaohai insists on refusing." I know that he was brought up by you, please persuade him to take a note for him, as long as he wants, you can also go up the mountain together, with the appearance of a lady, I recommend it to the master, I dare not say that he is rich and noble, but it is also a thousand times stronger than here. ”

Aunt Jin'er's face changed instantly when she heard this, what did she mean by her words!

Aunt Jin just wanted to speak, and then saw that Xiao Hai suddenly stepped forward and gave Feng Xiaotang a mouthful! Feng Xiaotang's body was crooked and he almost fell to the ground! The people next to him were stupid, Feng Xiaotang was also stupid, and he was still confident in his skills, but he didn't even notice it before he was beaten by a child.

Wei Zhengxian took the lead in stepping forward and bowed to Aunt Jin and said, "Mrs. Jin, Xiaohai, there is a misunderstanding, Senior Brother Feng is straightforward, he really wants Xiaohai to join the Bohai Sect, and I hope not to be surprised." ”

Aunt Jin pulled Xiao Hai back and touched Xiao Hai's head, the anger on Xiao Hai's face was still not gone, and she looked at Feng Xiaotang directly.

Aunt Jin opened her mouth and said: "Mr. Wei, this Mr. Feng, Xiaohai's affairs are all decided by himself, I just hope that he will live his life in peace, and he will not be rich and rich." Since Xiaohai doesn't agree, don't force it. Mr. Feng, Xiaohai made an abrupt move, I will accompany him on his behalf, but you still have to pay attention to proportionality when speaking in the future, so as to avoid suffering the same loss in the future. ”

Feng Xiaotang was angry and just wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Wang Shiye and whispered: "Senior brother, settling with a child and a woman on the street here will only affect our plans in the future, so let's be patient a little." ”

Feng Xiaotang spread out Wang Shiye, then looked at Xiao Hai fiercely and said, "Yan Xiaoyou, remember this slap Feng Mou, you will cherish it in the future." Let's go!"

After saying that, he left with a few people, Wei Xiuyin hated it, just now he was still proud in his heart, thinking that someone was finally going to beat Yan Xiaohai, but he didn't expect that the surname Feng could really focus on the overall situation, so he had to glare at Yan Xiaohai and then leave with everyone.
