It's the vernal equinox.

It is rare that the sky in Jiangning County is no longer cloudy, and it is no longer shrouded in rain all the time.

There is a small village in the southwest opposite to the chrysanthemum garden, the village houses stand in rows along the stream, and the fields are adjacent to the left and right, and the wooden archway at the entrance of the village is engraved with the three words of "Daoxiang Village".

Now is not the best time to sow seeds, but every field has been turned soft and flat, and the villagers of Daoxiang Village have made the most adequate preparations for the new year's planting.

Since the squire bullies in the village were driven away more than five years ago, the villagers have been able to cultivate for their own prosperity, and they are more energetic and hardworking under joy, as long as their harvest is enough, they can have enough surplus to sell, as long as the quality of rice is good enough, and even can be sold to Gusu for a high price, so that the day is no longer rainy and rainy, and the year's work should begin.

After a long period of cloudy twilight, there is finally a sunny day, and the long-term farming experience tells people that the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River has not passed, so the villagers of Daoxiang Village are not in a hurry to sow seeds as soon as the day clears, and they will make a decision after observing the situation in the next two days.

People who don't need to sow seeds naturally don't confine themselves to their homes, but take advantage of the clear weather to step out of the house and move their muscles.

Daoxiang Village is not a traffic artery, and before the rice harvest, there are always few outsiders who come and go, if it weren't for this, those squire bullies would not have had no ability but could be the king of the village for decades.

After the old squire's mansion in the village was settled by a large group of newcomers, although the number of foreign guests coming to and from Daoxiang Village changed slightly, the situation in the village still tended to be remote and quiet on the whole.

Tranquility is easy to break.

But it always makes people can't bear to break it.

A man and a horse appeared under the archway at the entrance of the village.

Horses are ordinary horses.

People are ordinary people.

But the villagers could still tell at a glance that it was an outsider.

Only outsiders will stop when they first arrive, rather than walking into the village.

Out of curiosity, the villagers unconsciously glanced at the entrance of the village.

The spring light is introverted and uncharming, but it does not prevent the villagers from seeing that this is a handsome character, but the clothes tend to be ordinary, and the overall appearance is inconspicuous.

It was a little farther away, so no one could see that the pupils of this person were slightly dark red at this time, and in fact, if it were not for those who were extremely close to him, few people would have noticed this, and not long ago, there was one less person who was extremely close to him, and there was one less person in this world who really understood him.

But seeing that this person had a sword-like thing hanging from his waist, he thought that he must be a person from the rivers and lakes, and since he was a person from the rivers and lakes, it had nothing to do with them.

Out of respect, the villagers looked at it for a moment, and then quickly withdrew their gaze and went back to their own business.

Because he couldn't bear to break the peace of the village, the outsider led his horse into the village, and instead of talking to any of the villagers, he walked straight to the only big mansion in the village.

The house is built with red walls and blue tiles, the door of the house is tall and spacious, and two stone lions stand left and right, which is incompatible with the simplicity of the village, as if it is a rich and noble family that surpasses the whole village.

Just look closely, whether it is the red wall and green tiles, or the two stone lions, there is a layer of thick dust that is five years thick, and even the door of the house that is often opened and closed can be seen with light dust attached to it.

Five years is also the time when this house has changed hands.

The old man of five years ago no longer exists.

The old things of five years ago are still in the dust.

So who has been in it in the past five years?

The visitor tied the horse to a tree at the door of the house, and looked up at the gate of the house, where there was a plaque with the words "Listening to the Rain Pavilion" in the book.

Five years ago, the people who were lucky enough to survive in Shifu came all the way to Jiangning to seek the protection of the old man of the Daoyi League, and chose a place in Jiangning to recuperate.

In the past five years, the house in Daoxiang Village has expanded and expanded, and the number of people in the house has grown from a dozen to more than 60, but it has never disturbed the peace of the village.

However, it is such a Qingning mansion that has disturbed the entire rivers and lakes in just three or two years.

Because of this, people often approach this house like ghosts to find out.

And today, there are also people who come in a dignified manner and want to seek some answers from the house.

Today, the outside of the house is clean and peaceful.

The visitor walked up the stairs, knocked lightly on the door of the house, solemnly handed over the greeting note taken out of his arms, and said, "Xiaoyue Alliance, Mo Yan, please see me." ”

The door of the house is lightly closed.

Don't wait.

After a while, the door of the house opened again, and a middle-aged man with gray temples walked out.

The middle-aged man gave a very polite salute to Mo Yan, and said: "The Lord of Mo Tan came to visit in person, and my pavilion should have welcomed the distinguished guests, but when the Lord of the Pavilion returned from Pinghai, he encountered heavy rain and was difficult to resist the wind and cold. ”

Hearing this, a hint of ridicule flashed in Mo Yan's eyes, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and said with concern: "Elder Shi's words are serious, and don't be in a hurry to ask Mo to leave. The pavilion master is a daughter, and he must be frightened and affected a lot by running around here, and he empathizes with the alliance master, so he took the medicine of the alliance to drive away the cold and nourish the gods - the tears of the moon wolf, not to mention the illness of the pavilion master, not to mention the medicine to get rid of the disease, it will also be of great benefit, and it will not hurt for Mo to stay in the pavilion for a few days. ”

The middle-aged man was naturally the little stone butler of the Shi Mansion back then, and he was also the eldest elder in the Tingyu Pavilion now, Shi Zhonghuo.

The acting alliance leader in Mo Yan's words is also the poppy who has only recently been rumored to be the leader of the Xiaoyue Alliance.

As he spoke, Mo Yan had already taken out another jade medicine bottle from his arms and respectfully handed it into Shi Zhonghuo's hand.

Shi Zhonghuo took the medicine bottle and bowed his hand slightly, his face was gentle, but his heart was full of bitterness.

The fact that Meng Chaoge felt the wind and cold is purely a pretext, it is not true, how can the poppy be so expected, who knows that this Mo Yan is carrying the good medicine in the Xiaoyue Alliance, and now he has to accept it even if he doesn't take the medicine, how can he turn people away if he receives the medicine?

Shi Zhonghuo hadn't yet decided how to speak next, so he only heard Mo Yan say again: "Mo Mou is here to visit the Yu Pavilion, if the pavilion master is really ill, it is inconvenient to go out to meet Mo Mou, it doesn't matter, I want to come to Luo Deputy Pavilion Master can also answer the questions in Mo's heart, and it is okay to see him." ”

After being the general of the two armies, Shi Zhonghuo remembered what was written in the post of Shicai to see it, and indeed only wrote that he came to visit and listen to the Yu Pavilion, and did not write the word "pavilion master", and said in his heart: How can these people come to the girl, and they are not staring at Aluo you. Alas, for decades of being cautious in words and deeds, but at the moment so negligent and unnoticed, teaching people to take advantage of the opportunity, is he really old?

The fire in the stone was slightly astringent, and he didn't know how to deduce it, so he shook his head with a wry smile.

Seeing this, Mo Yan didn't read the true meaning of Shi Zhonghuo's smile, but said that those falsehoods were exposed, and Shi Zhonghuo still didn't plan to let him enter the door, which was simply unreasonable, so he said: "What does Elder Shi mean by this? Could it be that even Deputy Pavilion Master Luo has suffered from the wind and cold, and he is bedridden, so it is not suitable to meet guests?"

Shi Zhonghuo smiled when he heard this, and said: "The deputy pavilion master has no martial arts cultivation, and his body bones are thinner than those of a female baby, so what's so strange about being also affected by the wind and cold?"

Mo Yan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Shi Zhonghuo to also calculate, so he panicked again with his own words, so shameless, and was about to say a few sarcastic words, but he heard Shi Zhonghuo say first: "Does Lord Mo Tan want to see the pavilion master or the deputy pavilion master?"

Mo Yan reacted very quickly, and replied quietly: "It should be the first thing to visit the pavilion master, but if the pavilion master is inconvenient, I will visit the deputy pavilion master first." ”

Shi Zhonghuo said: "Do you really have to see it?"

Mo Yan said: "You have to see it." ”

Shi Zhonghuo said: "Come with me." ”
