Mengjia Village, the entrance of the village.

Meng Xi carried his luggage on his back, carried a rusty sword cross-body, and set foot on the road to Xizhou City.

The weak-crowned boy walked alone, and now there are only two people seeing him off.

On the other side of the village, the old village chief, who was getting weaker and weaker, silently watched his grandson go farther and farther away with his wooden crutches.

Xinerlang, stepping on the rivers and lakes, traveling in the rivers and lakes, blessings and misfortunes, difficult to predict.

The old man looked at his grandson, who had been with him for more than ten years, and remembered his experience of stepping into the rivers and lakes, and couldn't help but sweat for the young man who had gone away.

"Uncle, are you worried about Meng Xi?"

Behind the old village chief, a person suddenly spoke.

The old village chief turned his head, looked at the man who was known as the king of fish not long ago, and sighed lightly: "I have been with this kid day and night for more than ten years, and I have touched his temper and temperament. The rivers and lakes are sinister, and with that child's immature character, I don't know what will happen. ”

"I don't think so!"

Looking at the melancholy on the old man's face, Meng Jiangxi shook his head.

"Since the disaster happened not long ago, Meng Xi's personality has been much calmer, and I believe that he will be able to handle whatever he encounters in the future. ”

"I hope so!" the old man sighed, looked at Meng Jiangxi's arm, and asked, "How is your arm, can you use this arm well?"

Meng Jiangxi moved his right arm, the arm that was cut off by a sword from Liangyin, but now it has grown again.

It's just that this arm is no longer the flesh and blood arm of the past, but a mechanism arm made of iron and wood.

The color of the arm was dark, and it looked the same as a normal arm, Meng Jiangxi moved his ten fingers, and he was very flexible!

"Not bad!"

Meng Jiangxi's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see half of his joy.

The old village chief saw that his five fingers were flexible, and exclaimed: "What a skill! I can't imagine that there is such a subtle skill in the world, and that miracle doctor, I don't know where Meng Rou met it? Not only do you condition your body, but also install a machine arm for you, with this machine arm, you can live a normal life as before." ”

Meng Jiangxi raised his right hand, looked at this dark-colored arm, and said with a wry smile: "The price is too great! If I could, I would rather not have this arm!"

For this arm, Meng Jiangxi almost lost his daughter.

About half a month ago, a few days after Meng Li left Mengjia Village, a sixty-year-old man with half black hair and half white hair came to the village.

According to what Meng Rou said at the time, this Langzhong was met when she went up the mountain to collect medicine, and the reason why she was brought into the village was to treat her father's illness.

That was Meng Jiangxi's heart was like ashes, and the injury to his arm caused the qi and blood stagnation all over his body, although he had diligent skills to protect his body, but his condition was getting worse.

The old man, who is nearly sixty years old, has superb Chinese medicine skills, and as soon as he got started, he cured Meng Jiangxi's injuries.

Meng Rou was grateful for Lao Langzhong's kindness, so she left him at home to spend the night. That night, Lao Langzhong made an astonishing statement, saying that he still had a way to break his arm.

Meng Rou was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly sought medical treatment for her father, but there was only one condition in Lao Lang:

He wants Meng Rou to be his apprentice!

Meng Rou was extremely filial, and in order to cure the suffering of his father's broken arm, he secretly agreed to Lao Langzhong's conditions without consulting with Meng Jiangxi.

The next day, Meng Jiangxi was unknowingly pressed into the arm, and by the time he learned the truth, it was already too late.

The old village chief comforted: "You don't have to be too sad, I think that the old doctor is a master in the world, plus his medical skills are superb, Meng Rou can learn art with him, it is not a chance." ”

Meng Jiangxi sighed: "I hope so!"

To the west of the water town, on the official road leading to Xizhou City, there is a young girl riding a green ox on her side.

There was an old man leading the cow in front of him.

The girl looked ahead, and there was a hint of melancholy on her handsome face.

As if sensing the girl's gaze, the old man with black and white hair turned his head and asked his newly acquired baby apprentice, "Good apprentice, why are you depressed?"

The girl half leaned on the back of the cow, holding the cyan cow's back with one hand, holding the cheeks with the other, pouting and saying, "Homesick!"

"Homesick?"

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and sighed: "Alas, Master, I haven't had a home for a long time!"

The girl, who has never known the old man, can't help but be curious.

"What about Master's relatives?"

"It's long since I died. His eyes flashed, as if he remembered some things from before, and said gloomily: "It's all dead!"

The girl had never thought that it would be such an answer, and was suddenly silent.

The old man didn't care, and laughed at himself: "Life and death are fate, and we should see through it for the sake of medicine." It's just that your master and I boast of our superb medical skills, but in the end, we can't even save my wife and children, which is ridiculous when I think about it. ”

The girl said softly, "Are they sick?"

The old man squinted his eyes and said, "Poisoned! Very poisonous, very poisonous!"

"Oh!"

When the girl answered, she had nothing to say. Knowing that he had walked half a mile, he suddenly said, "Master, Meng Rou will be your relative in the future!"

The old man, who had been called a desperate miracle doctor by the world, was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly stopped.

The girl poked her head out and asked timidly, "Is it okay?" Master!"

This "Master" seems to have a different meaning.

The old man's back trembled slightly, nodded, did not dare to look back at the girl on the back of the ox, held the ox rope, and continued to walk.

The girl was bored, looked down at the yellow earth slowly sweeping under her feet, and suddenly found a drop of water.

"Huh, it's raining?"

When the girl looked up at the sky, the old man stretched out his hand and lifted it up, wiped it lightly on his face without a trace, and said with a smile: "Maybe!"

There are six squares in the east of Jieshui City, one of which is Dongxing Fang.

Dongxingfang is located in the most central location of Dongcheng District, and it is the most prosperous place in Dongcheng Liufang.

The streets extend in all directions, planted with rows of greenery, the traffic is not only convenient, but also the scenery is the most pleasant.

On both sides of the street, willow green rows. Among them, two are the thickest and seem to be nearly 100 years old.

Under the thick willow trees that resemble a canopy, is a tall mansion with red bricks and green tiles.

On the high door frame, there is a gilded red lacquered wooden plaque with the word "Li Fu" written on it.

Lee, it's a big surname!

There are many families surnamed Li in Jieshui City, but there is only one Li family with such a style.

Li Yan stood in front of the door of the hall, looking at her father in the hall with her eyes closed and pondering, and couldn't help but feel helpless.

As a first-class family in Jieshui City, their Li family not only has a great influence, but also has a lot of things to deal with every day, especially the few new transactions opened up in the family, which broke his father's heart.

Looking at her old father with more gray hair, Li Yan was heartbroken, and secretly complained about why she was not a man, if she was not the body she is now, she would definitely be able to share more for her father.

At this time, a maid came with a freshly brewed Ningshen tea, and Li Yan stopped the maidservant and took the bowl of tea soup from the latter's hand.

"Go down!"

Li Yan exhaled softly, and the maid didn't dare to hesitate, and slowly retreated.

Even in her own home, Li Yan, who still showed herself in a veil, walked into the living room with a steaming tea soup.

In the center of the hall, a three-legged toad incense burner made of copper sprays smoke.

A faint smell of sandalwood fills the room.

Li Yan after walking in the door, smelling the sandalwood in the air, couldn't help but look at the incense burner.

She knew that the sandalwood burned in the incense burner was the famous incense that her father personally went to Changdeng Temple to ask for, which not only could relax the mind, but also had the effect of prolonging people's lives.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the room, Li Zan, who was nearly fifty years old, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the girl with a white veil and a masked face, he sat up straight suddenly.

"Yan'er is here!"

Their father and daughter are close relatives and should be close, but from the mouth of this father-like elder, Li Yan heard a trace of respect.

Li Yan seems to have become accustomed to this and doesn't care.

After all, she Li Yan is not just the daughter of the Li family, but also the new saint daughter of the Lotus Picking Sword Sect.

Since the Li family has soared because of her, her father, who has learned to become inflammatory, has become like this in the shopping mall.

"Father, your tranquil tea!"

Li Yan put the tea aside, turned around and came behind Li Zan, ready to rub her father's shoulders and relax.

This was originally a piece of filial piety for her daughter, but it made Li Zan feel terrified.

"No, no. Li Zan stood up, helped Li Yan to the side, and said himself: "You are now the holy daughter of the Lotus Picking Sword Sect, and your status is noble, if this is seen by people, it will be a little inappropriate." ”

If you are a saint, you should have the majesty of a saint!

Li Yan said: "Even if the daughter is a saint, the father is still the father of the daughter. ”

Li Zan's face sank, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, this matter is over here, and you are not allowed to mention it again in the future." ”

Li Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Father, do you remember the people who escorted his daughter back to the city a few days ago?"

Li Zan asked, "Are those three warriors who were arranged by you in the Fujia Inn? I heard that they have now left the inn and are extremely close to the Liu family. ”

At the beginning, Liu Chongyuan personally came to apologize for Meng Li, although he did not deliberately publicize it, but he did not deliberately conceal it, and when Liu Chongyuan picked Meng Li away, Li Bin reported the matter.

Li Yan nodded and said: "Liu Chongyuan, this person, if he doesn't see a rabbit, he doesn't scatter an eagle, since he took the initiative to apologize to Meng Li, he must see the benefits." What the daughter means is that Liu Chongyuan must not be allowed to be beautiful. Not long ago, my daughter got the news that the three sons opened a noodle restaurant in Bei'anfang, and I heard that the business was not bad, and my daughter thought about whether she was going to join the party?"

Li Zan said disapprerovitically: "If you want me to see, then Liu Chongyuan is sick and rushed to the doctor." I don't care if you want to go to the show, but not now. Yesterday I received a letter from the Lotus Picking Sword Sect. The letter mentioned that your senior sister Cao Jing will come to Jieshui City today, and you and I will pick her up in a while. ”

"Senior sister is coming?

Suddenly getting this news, Li Yan was not only surprised, but her face was still a little ugly, probably because the master gave her the holy daughter, the senior sister, who has always been determined to win the position of the holy daughter, is extremely hostile to herself. Every time she meets her, she will feel aggressive, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Li Zan nodded and said: "The martial arts assessment in front of you has become another arena for the secret competition between the seven factions of the Jieshui River, and your senior sister has an important task this time, in addition to participating in the martial arts assessment, she also shoulders the important task of contacting the Huangsha Gang." ”

The difficulty of this martial arts assessment is almost the most in history, and it is not a complete strategy with the power of one person.

Zhu Qian of the Huangsha Gang is the young master of the Zhu family in the first-class family, and I heard that he has a marriage contract with Cao Jingding, and the two factions have a very close relationship because they are neighbors to each other.

Thinking of this, Li Yan's heart felt sour.

It seems that this noodle restaurant has no time to go!
