Chapter 24: Memories of the Past (20)

Mu Beiting slowly retracted his thoughts, his hands holding Xun Dai'er tightened unconsciously, and said softly: "Dai'er, you have really worked hard all these years. You're right, we should go back and worship the second elder, and let them take a look at Mu Xun's little grandson. ”

Xun Dai'er's eyes lit up suddenly, and she said happily: "After my father and mother see Xun'er, they will be very happy, right?"

In fact, Mu Beiting still had concerns in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and hurriedly nodded and affirmed: "Xun'er is so popular, they will definitely be very happy." ”

Hearing Mu Beiting's words, Xun Dai'er felt more confident in her heart, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and pack up my things." At that moment, she broke free from Mu Beiting's embrace and wanted to go back to the house, but she had just walked out and didn't take two steps, and suddenly turned around and asked, "When are we leaving, should we have breakfast at home before leaving?"

Mu Beiting said: "This matter is urgent, I'm afraid that I will leave soon, and I will land on the road for dinner, you can simply pack some luggage." ”

Xun Dai'er hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "In my spare time in the past few years, I have made some clothes for my father and mother, and this time when I go back, I want to bring a few pieces, so I will bring less, is it okay?"

She has been virtuous and filial since she was a child, and in the past, her parents' clothes were sewn by herself, although she was far away from her parents over the years, she still insisted on sewing, and she has accumulated a lot today.

Mu Beiting smiled and said: "This is your heart for your parents, why not, just bring it all, and when I go out, I will hire a carriage to load it in a nearby village and town." ”

Xun Dai'er smiled and said "um", and then ran out happily.

Mu Beiting re-brewed the tea, returned to the main hall after serving the tray, and was just about to step into the door, when he saw Zhou Chuqing coming out, and asked urgently: "Brother Mu, sister-in-law, do you need me to settle down?"

Mu Beiting said with a smile: "Chu Qing doesn't have to worry, I am obligated to rescue me both in public and private, but my husband and wife are one, and she will go with me this time." After a pause, he said: "The two of you are tired, so let's drink a cup of tea to relieve our fatigue, and just wait for Dai'er to pack some luggage and set off." ”

Zhou Chuqing felt a little relieved, so he sat back, Mu Beiting set up the tea set and poured the tea, and said: "There are four tea trees naturally growing on the cliff wall in the north of this valley, and the name can't be called, but the fried tea leaves are not bad, please try it." ”

Master Tongze is a person who loves tea, listened to Mu Beiting's introduction, immediately became interested, immediately picked up the cup in front of him and smelled it first, and then sent it to his mouth to take a sip, closed his eyes and tasted it for a long time, and said: "The aroma is pure, the entrance is thick, and the aftertaste is sweet, well, it is indeed good tea, Beiting is so blessed!"

Mu Beiting raised his eyebrows and smiled, feeling quite proud in his heart. And Zhou Chuqing, who was sitting on the side, was not as interested as the two of them, but he just raised the cup into his stomach, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like in his mouth.

After the three of them drank three or five more cups, Zhou Chuqing finally couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart, and said: "I don't know if this thief will have a helper to help, let's discuss a countermeasure first, so as to keep the lady and the young master safe and sound." ”

Mu Beiting put down the teacup and said: "Chu Qing is a little calm, the current situation is dark and difficult to understand, and it is really difficult to make an effective response. After speaking, he took a sip of the teacup and continued: "This matter should be the life of my brother and sister and nephew, and if necessary, the "Su Jing" can also be given to the thief first, and then try to recapture it after rescuing my brother and sister and nephew." ”

Zhou Chuqing thought about it, and felt that he couldn't think of a better countermeasure, although he didn't want to hand over the "Su Jing" to the villains in his heart, but he was convinced of Mu Beiting's ability, and now that Mu Beiting had such an arrangement, he nodded in response, and at the same time took out the blue cloth bag wrapped in the "Su Jing" from his arms, stretched out his hand and handed it to Mu Beiting, and said: "This book will be handed over to the eldest brother to dispose of it completely, just to ensure the safe return of the lady and the young master." ”

Mu Beiting didn't shirk, stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't open it to take a look, his arm bent directly into his arms, and said: "When the time comes, I will go to negotiate with the widow first, Chu Qing will observe from the side, and the master will find a hidden place to secretly respond, if something happens, everyone will support each other." ”

For such an arrangement, Master Tong Ze and Zhou Chuqing had no objection, and both nodded in agreement.

Mu Beiting got up and said, "Please sit here for a while, I have to invite an old friend again." ”

Zhou Chuqing said curiously: "Huh, Brother Mu actually has other friends who are guests in the valley?"

Master Tong Ze also frowned slightly, but immediately reacted again, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen this old friend for many years, I wonder if I can go with Beiting?"

Zhou Chuqing was confused by the conversation between the two of them, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the master also knows about this friend?"

Master Tong Ze explained: "This friend is the stone sword 'Ink Rain', presumably Chu Qing is no stranger to it. ”

Zhou Chuqing suddenly realized, his heart was relieved, and he said with a smile: "How can I not know, Brother Mu's heroic posture of walking the rivers and lakes with a sword in the past is deeply reflected in my mind." ”

After he said this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. Mu Beiting said: "Since that's the case, then let's go together." ”

Since Mu Beiting lived in seclusion, he only felt that he would not let the "Ink Rain" sword reappear in the world for the rest of his life, so he hid it under the waterfall. However, if you go out of the mountain again this time, how can you not bring this divine weapon with you to deal with a strong enemy.

When the three of them arrived at the foot of the waterfall, Mu Beiting jumped into the waterfall, and after only a moment's effort, he saw him jump out, and at the same time, he also had a three-foot stone sword in his hand.

Master Tongze and Zhou Chuqing on the side could see it clearly, and it was indeed the stone sword "Ink Rain".

This "ink rain" is carved by the master of Mu Beiting with a piece of ancient strange stone, the whole sword is formed in one piece, the style is simple and elegant, and there is a white line on both sides of the black sword body that extends from the hilt to the tip of the sword, which is very good-looking. In addition to the special material, this sword also has a special feature, that is, its blade has never been sharpened, so that many people will mistake it for a plaything for decoration when they first see this sword. However, in the eyes of Master Tongze and Zhou Chuqing, this sword is a divine weapon that is enough to make people tremble, and only Mu Beiting, who holds this sword, is the real "Cloud Stepping on the Breeze" Mu Beiting.

At this time, Mu Beiting's right hand crossed the sword chest, and his left hand stretched out two fingers to stroke the blade down, and his eyes gradually flashed with excitement, and the moment his left hand left the sword body, the true qi in his dantian also flowed out, and instantly ran to the whole body. In an instant, his clothes, soaked by the water, were dried by the scorching internal force, and wisps of white smoke began to rise above his head, and after a few snaps of his fingers, his wet hair dried out.

Zhou Chuqing, who was on the side, saw this scene, secretly applauded in his heart, and thought to himself: "Like Brother Mu's strong internal force, I can't match it even in my life!"

"I've already packed up, when are we leaving?" At this time, Xun Dai'er had already carried the child and came behind the three of them, and asked softly.

Mu Beiting turned around and said with a smile: "Set off immediately, and ask Chu Qing to help me bring some luggage." ”

Zhou Chuqing said yes, and followed Mu Beiting to pick up his luggage.

Xun Dai'er waited for the two of them to walk away, then suddenly turned to Master Tongze and said, "Master, I heard your words just now, and I know that this opponent is really powerful, I am very worried, Xun Er is still young... I also hope that the master can do his best to help Beiting. ”

Master Tong Ze chanted the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Madame, the old man will definitely try his best to protect the North Pavilion, and if anyone wants to hurt him, he must first hurt the old man." ”

Xun Dai'er shook her head again and again, and said busily: "No, no." The master should also be safe and sound, and I only wish the Buddha to bless and let the big guys return safely. ”

Master Tongze said: "Madame is blessed to the soul, and the Buddha will definitely fulfill your wish." ”

While the two were talking, they saw Mu Beiting and Zhou Chuqing each carrying two big burdens and walking out of the house.

Mu Beiting greeted loudly: "Master, Dai'er, let's go." ”

Xun Dai'er saw that the two of them each hung two big burdens that seemed to be as tall as people, her face was slightly red, she lowered her head and walked forward, but before she moved, she said carefully: "Thank you, master." ”

When Master Tong Ze heard this, he didn't respond, just smiled slightly, followed her pace, and walked towards the two people in front.
