There are not many shops in the south of Tianping City, most of them are farmland, and when winter arrives, there will be more depression, and the fields are like skinny backs, which makes people unable to laugh.

Since the death of her mother, Yuan Yuanyuan's life has not been very happy, her age makes her unable to understand how painful it is to lose her mother and grandmother, but every winter when she sees the weeded ridge in her chest, she doesn't understand that it is actually heartache.

But in recent days, Yuan Yuanyuan's face has more smiles, and the rows of small characters that make people dizzy on weekdays have become cute, and even made people look forward to it for a while.

Because I can see the old man who I haven't seen for a long time, who always gives him good food, and there are two new students in the old grandfather's house, a big brother, and a little girl who shares some snacks with her and calls her sister.

Yuan Yuanyuan still remembers the first time he saw the two, the big brother named Yang Xiaoyang pretended to salute himself like an adult, he had never seen this battle, which made him a little flustered, and then he saw the big brother smile slightly, although the smile was a little stiff and jerky, but he was not so flustered.

There was a girl standing next to the eldest brother who felt about the same age as herself, and the first thing she said when she met was: "Are you called Yuan Yuanyuan, I don't see you round, why do you have three circles in your name." My name is Little Rabbit, and we discussed it when I met Little Rabbit, and it is a veritable name, because I am as cute as Little Rabbit. ”

Among them, worthy of the name, these four words are sonorous and powerful. There is a lot of content in this paragraph, and Yuan Yuanyuan only remembers a few words after listening to it: little rabbit, cute.

The three of them came to the old man's house, Yuan Yuanyuan remembered that the eldest brother first introduced himself as Yang Xiaoyang, and before the little rabbit could speak, the old man couldn't wait to ask: "Little girl, what is your name?"

Little Rabbit's face turned black when he was still smiling just now, "Hmph." Why do you want me to tell you my name, but you don't tell me yours, you are disrespecting me!" Yang Xiaoyang couldn't help but think of the scene where his mother and Xiaodi first met.

The eldest brother hurriedly pulled the little rabbit on the side, Yuan Yuanyuan was also afraid that the old man would be angry, and was about to say something, but he saw that the old man had a straight face and bowed, "The old man has been taught." ”

The eldest brother pulled the little rabbit to return the salute, and heard the old man say, "The old man's name is Nanshan, what is your name, little girl?"

......

In the following months, the two of them came to the old man's house every day to listen to the old man's stories and reason with him, and took him to Tianping City in the afternoon.

The old man's house is in the south of the city, and the two of them first took themselves all the way to the west of the city, and looked at the various shops in the west of the city.

Yuan Yuanyuan felt that once he mentioned eating, Xiao Di's words and conversation did not look like a child, and he felt that it was not appropriate to describe the two of them as unlearned and unskilled.

......

Uncle Xu, who hadn't seen him for some time, didn't know when he had been cleaning the fallen leaves in front of the store at the door of Yun Jiang early every morning, and he had a knife pinned to his waist, and he actually lined a small shop in Yun Jiang like the City Lord's Mansion when he stopped at the door of the store, so Chu Sleeve asked Uncle Xu not to stand at the door, and go into the backyard to do whatever he wanted.

Occasionally, Uncle Xu would ask Yang Xiaoyang if he wanted to practice martial arts, Yang Xiaoyang always felt that the purpose of Uncle Xu teaching him to practice martial arts had changed, and the attitude that would not be good if he didn't agree was gone, so Yang Xiaoyang always pretended to be very interested in practicing a few moves, and soon Yang Xiaoyang came up with a reason for Uncle Xu to do this: Uncle Xu was definitely too idle.

Recently, there have been more people who come to the door to ask for the method of making sauce, and Chu Sleeve will teach it every time, but he will always make a request.

Yang Xiaoyang was puzzled for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Mother, you told them how to make sauce, don't they can't make it themselves to buy our sauce?"

"Have you ever wondered why?"

"I thought about it, but I couldn't think of it. ”

Chu Sleeve knew Yang Xiaoyang's temperament, and most of this thought was the same as Xiaodi's thinking after eating, drinking, and having fun, and most of them didn't.

"I don't sell sauce for money, but for fate, so I can tell others how to make sauce. ”

Yang Xiaoyang didn't understand what it meant to seek fate, but he still nodded.

"As for why the request is made, it is because the law cannot be passed on lightly. This method does not distinguish between high and low, although it is only a small method of making sauce, if it is given to others for no reason, others will not pay attention to it, and it is too simple to inevitably feel that this method is nothing more than that, and after a short time it is abandoned, unable to understand the subtlety, then the meaning of teaching the law is gone. ”

Yang Xiaoyang listened to it and understood it halfway, but he could roughly summarize a truth: if you get it too easily, you don't cherish it.

In the following months, most of the people who got the method of making sauce would not come again, and once Yang Xiaoyang even saw that one of them was going out of the West Gate and deliberately bypassed Yun Sauce, he felt that most of his mother's fate could not be begged.

In the twenty-second year of An Yan, in the autumn, the regent palace. It has been more than a month since the Eight Kings announced that they would send troops to the King of Qin, but there has been no movement, and some people even suspect that this is a joke made by the Eight Kings together.

Yang Qi, who said that he was going to go on the expedition, did not move, and the three poles were still sleeping, and the people felt a little sorry for his self-appointed general. As for what the specific general is, I didn't say.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Yang Qi's somewhat emaciated figure appeared in front of the people, and he walked out with a small belly and a nightgown, and the first thing he said was: "Let Xu Li, the commander of the forbidden army, come to my house." ”

The subordinates hurriedly dressed their general, and presented the general with food and wine that he did not know whether to order breakfast or lunch.

As soon as Xu Li entered the mansion, he saw a group of subordinates in the courtyard stunned. I saw that the general who had never liked to move danced a long sword vigorously, and the people knew the general's temperament, and they clapped their hands on the side, but they didn't know whether it was true or false.

Seeing Xu Li coming, Yang Qi took down another sword, a more slender sword, from the shelf on the side, threw it to him, and beckoned.

Xu Li's face twitched, and he took the sword and weighed it. The people felt that the commander's face was a little dark, and they also felt that there was something wrong with the general's hospitality, but they didn't dare to say more, and they didn't dare to make any more noise.

Yang Qi stepped forward with a sword style, the two of them came and went, for a while the sword light and sword shadow in the courtyard, a group of people had never seen real kung fu, but they felt that the kung fu of the two really couldn't be true, how could anyone compare a sword to hurt the flowers and plants a hundred steps away in the courtyard?

The subordinates couldn't see the level of the martial arts of the two, but they only knew that it was the general who finally cut off the commander's sword, and only then did they know that it must be the general's martial arts that were higher, and their admiration for the general was beyond words.

The two then entered the study together, and Xu Li's face was as black as charcoal, "You are really shameless." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I know I can't beat me, so give me a sword as thin as a toothpick, and the wide-backed knife on my waist is an ornament?"

"Hey, I haven't moved for a long time, and there will be a war soon, I have to practice first, no, and I have to do it step by step, if you take your big knife at the beginning, it won't work. ”

"When are you going to leave, and where are you going to hit first?"

"Let's hit Xiliang first. ”

"Why?"

"Shake the stick. ”

Xu Li clenched his fists, "Then when will you leave?"

"Wait until the robe is sewn. ”

"Are you a tailor going to war?"

"I don't know anything, let's go together?"

"Nonsense. After Xu Li finished speaking, he got up and left, and he didn't take a sip of tea.

Yang Qi took a sip of tea and shouted loudly: "Bring the wine!"

That night, the room was lit by candles, Yang Qi squinted his eyes and bent his back, holding a silver needle in his hand and flying up and down, not at all able to see that this was a pair of sword hands.

There wasn't much sewing on the robe, and only five claws could be seen, golden claws.

In the twelfth year of Yuanwu, the leisurely life in Shuzhong made time fly quickly, two years passed, and autumn quietly came.

Yang Xiaoyang and Xiao Di returned to Yunjiang after their daily tour of the city, Chu Sleeve was also packing up his things, and ordered a cabinet in the back: "I put the silver taels here, if there is anything, take it yourself, and this is the key to the store, you can take it with you." ”

"Oh. Yang Xiaoyang was not interested in this "windfall", and Xiao Di on his back was even less interested. Yang Xiaoyang saw Uncle Xu coming in from outside, and felt that Uncle Xu was a little dignified, with an expression of I have bad news to tell you, but Uncle Xu didn't say anything, nodded to Chu Sleeve and went to the west of the city first.

Yang Xiaoyang looked at his mother again, and suddenly felt that his mother, who was usually quiet like a lake, seemed to be a little boiling these days.

.......................................................

Shu Mountain, Pingyun Peak. The old man holding the divination sword suddenly opened his eyes, stood up tremblingly with one hand on the bed, and sighed in his mouth: "I'll strangle an immortal." ”

went out, went down the mountain, and walked to Zhuming Peak, without the slightest effort to get up just now. The old man pushed open the door of a bamboo building, and there was a young man inside who was holding a sword and closing his eyes to cultivate, and when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes, and there was a sword flash in his eyes, and then he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The young man stood up and saluted, "Uncle Shi." ”

"Zizhu, go down the mountain for me to save two people. There may be seven or eight masters besieging you, but you should be able to handle it. After speaking, two fingers were placed in the center of Zizhu's eyebrows, and Zizhu had the image of two people in his mind, making people feel thin and lonely.
