At this time, Li Mengru glared at Jiang Ming angrily, not allowing himself to stop the old man from cheating, but he began to meddle in his affairs, even if he was resentful and sneered at Jiang Ming for a while, Jiang Ming had a bitter word in his heart, and he didn't talk back, and his thoughts were all taken away by the man behind him and the old man in the hall.

The restaurant was silent again, only a slight "da-da" sound came, in the eyes of everyone, I saw the man slowly walking down the stairs, standing in front of the old man, looking at him with a smile on his face, and said, "The old man will help me measure the words." ”

The old man couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said with a smile: "What does the boy want to ask?"

The young man pondered for a moment and said, "I have a heavy responsibility on this trip, so you can help me see if this trip is going well!"

The old man smiled and said, "No problem, no problem." After speaking, he looked at the little girl on the side and said, "Little mercy!"

Xiao Lian stuck out her tongue, took out a pen and paper from the side, and put it on the table, and then kept her eyes on the young man, turning around.

The young man took the pen, as if he didn't know what to write, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "Then write my name and see how the trip goes?"

As he spoke, he wrote two words on a blank piece of paper and handed them to the old man with both hands.

The old man squinted his eyes and stared at the two extremely beautiful words on the paper, the pen was slight, casual and soft, giving people a feeling of unintentionality, but at the end of each stroke, it was a little dignified, as if the edge was difficult to suppress.

Xiao Lian tiptoed to look at the paper in the old man's hand, and read softly: "Shen Jue!"

As if satisfied with her curiosity, she showed two small dimples on her cheeks, and jumped aside.

The man named Shen Jue silently glanced at Xiao Lian, smiled slightly, and then turned his head to look at the old man, and said, "How is it?"

The old man groaned for a while, stroked his beard again, and said: "Shen Due, the water is vigorous, it should be soft, but it is strong, it is really the water that overturns the river and the sea, the so-called water comes to cover the soil, and the soil accumulates as a mountain. ”

"Soil is a mountain ......"

Shen Jue muttered silently, always feeling a bit like nonsense, so he shook his head with a smile, but still handed out five taels of silver, and said, "Thank you for your advice." After speaking, he slowly walked to the second floor.

Jiang Ming looked at Shen Jue who came over with a blank expression, angry and funny in his heart, who knew that he happened to look this way, and the two looked at each other.

Shen Jue smiled slightly, walked directly to Jiang Ming's side, and said with a smile: "I should have listened to you a long time ago." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned and said, "What's wrong?"

"I've been fooled!"

Shen Jue looked remorseful, and then took a pot of wine from his own table, and said, "Brother Tai, no matter what, I still want to thank you for your kind reminder just now, come, let's have a drink!"

As he spoke, he was about to pick up the cup and start pouring the wine.

"Ahh

Jiang Ming was about to wave his hand to stop him, but Li Mengru frowned and said lightly: "We don't drink!"

Shen Jue's movements froze, and he stood beside him so awkwardly.

Jiang Ming somehow had a good impression of Shen Jue, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Then I'll replace the wine with tea and accompany my brother to have a drink." ”

"Good!"

After the two of them had a drink, Shen Jue sat down with a smile on his face, and when he saw Li Mengru, he was also obviously stunned, such a beautiful woman always wanted to look at it twice.

Li Mengru frowned, as if she was very disgusted with this enthusiastic person, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only glare at Jiang Ming hatefully to show her dissatisfaction.

Jiang Ming's expression was remarkable, but he still looked at Shen Jue with a forced smile, only feeling that he gave people a feeling like a spring breeze, with a pair of Danfeng eyes, full of softness.

Shen Jue looked at the two people in front of him and said, "The two of you are cultivators?"

Jiang Ming was taken aback, he and his senior sister were dressed like ordinary people, and he didn't know how he could see it.

Shen Jue smiled slightly and explained: "In this world, the wind of cultivation is prevalent, and I see that the two of them have swords, so they must be people with special skills. ”

Jiang Ming glanced at the Qianchen Sword placed next to him, but heard Li Mengru ask at Shen Jue, "What about you?"

Shen Jue said with a smile: "My master is just a small sect that is not famous, and I am also a rotten wood, so I came to the largest city in the world to run errands for my master, and by the way, I came to have a long experience." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Ming again and said, "I don't know brother, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Ming was so affectionate to this person that he almost said it, who knew that Li Mengru's voice came from his ears:

"My junior brother and I are here to play!"

"Oh, that's right. Shen Jue nodded, and said, "Since the two of you are here to play, presumably the master is not too far from here!"

Jiang Ming glanced at the senior sister who deliberately told a lie, but he didn't dare to answer too specifically, so he said perfunctorily: "It's a half-day journey to the west." ”

Shen Jue was silent for a while, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he slowly stood up and said, "It's not too early today, so I'll leave first." ”

"Okay, brother, go slowly. ”

Shen Jue arched his hand at the two, and went downstairs with a faint smile, when he walked to the hall, he glanced at the rugged man who had been silent since he saw the photo, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and walked out of the door of the restaurant.

At this time, it was almost evening, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street, Shen Jue frowned slightly, swaying slowly, and suddenly he paused, as if he remembered something, and a smile appeared on his soft face again, and then he strode out of the city, his eyes were full of strange looks.

In the dim streets, his whispered self-muttering could be faintly heard:

"Arrogant, hehe, I like arrogant people......"

......

Wutong City, Drunken Xianju Restaurant.

After the two finished eating the delicious meal, Li Mengru proposed to stay here for one night and leave again tomorrow. Although Jiang Ming was worried about the money, but now he had to rush to the Wuxin Courtyard in the center of Wutong City, if it was late today, it would definitely not be very convenient, so he could only reluctantly ask for two more rooms.

The two went downstairs, and when they passed the hall, the old man who looked at him was gone, and only a white piece of paper was left on the table, with two small black characters faintly written. Because when the old man measured the words just now, it was too far away, and Jiang Ming didn't hear it too clearly, so he couldn't help but want to find out at this moment, so he took a look.

"Shen Jue!"

Jiang Ming only felt that the soft man was extremely incompatible with this name with murderous intentions, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he followed Li Mengru to the guest room in the backyard of the restaurant.

The backyard is quite wide, with a small pond flowing and quiet flowers and trees next to it, and the fragrance of the evening breeze comes like nothing. Jiang Ming grew up in the Northern Wilderness since he was a child, and his life experience is very different from that of the Central Plains, although he also understands it, but now in the first city in the world, it is just the courtyard of a restaurant, and it is so elegant, and he is also greatly admired in his heart for a while.

Li Mengru looked at Jiang Ming and said with a disgusted expression: "Let's rest here tonight, and then hurry tomorrow morning." After saying that, she stretched her waist, presumably in high spirits all day, and quite tired.

Jiang Ming replied with a sneer, only to see Li Mengru glancing at him, and then walked directly into the room, closing the door with a "bang".

Under the slanting sun, seeing the senior sister who had not had a good face for a day walk into the room, Jiang Ming was suddenly a little disheartened, and he couldn't lift his spirits anymore, so he slowly walked back to the room.

In this silence, Jiang Ming tossed and turned, somehow he always felt uncomfortable, he couldn't sleep well anyway, he was in a daze, and he didn't know how long it took, when he slowly opened his eyes, there was still a faint light outside the window.

He looked at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about what happened in the restaurant today, he really sighed at the wonder of fate, if it wasn't for the fact that he met his senior sister at the beginning, and the master and his mother took him in, he must still be staying in the cold Wuqi Mountain, his father is always busy with religious affairs, and only Aunt Qing accompanies him, only this little warmth.

He suddenly missed his mother very much, but he couldn't think of what his mother looked like, he just thought like this, a slender and gentle back suddenly appeared in his mind, he tried hard to see it clearly, but the back did not turn around, he opened his mouth slightly, only felt a bitterness, as if he had exhausted all his strength, only with a voice that only he could hear, he shouted softly, he had never shouted in his life, and he never had a chance to shout:

"Mother, mother, mother......"

The back seemed to hear the deep call in his heart, and in a dazzling light, he turned around slowly, slowly, slowly, it was a gentle and fair face, and there seemed to be a little light in his eyes, and then he suddenly smiled slightly, and suddenly the world spun around......

"Ah, Master!"

Jiang Ming woke up suddenly, sat up suddenly, his face was hot for a while, and after a while, his fiercely beating heart slowly calmed down, and then deep in his heart, he was quietly covered with a layer of loneliness and loss.

He sat in a daze in the dim light for a long time, and this crumbling dusk was so long.

Jiang Ming didn't feel sleepy anymore, he got up peacefully, walked to the door, opened the door and walked out. Outside, it was blue and gray, it was the time of black and white, he took a deep look at the room next to him, it was dark and lightless, she must have been tired for a day, and she had already fallen asleep.

The breeze is blowing, the path in the yard is tortuous and deep, the grass and shrubs on the roadside, and the flowers and branches are slightly drooping. Jiang Ming walked for a while, and then sat on a large bluestone next to the small pool, the water was slightly cool.

He sat here, looking at the room with the closed door, where there were important people in his life, and he listened to the sound of flowing water, and looked quietly, and his heart inexplicably settled down.

The courtyard is deep, in this approaching night, it seems to also arouse his thoughts, the past is heavy, he thinks of many people, at this moment, even if it is the world turned upside down, I only hope that the people he cares about will always be far away, peace and joy.

Only the mother, I miss it in a thousand ways, but I will never see it.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky, and in the bleak night, there was his whispered complaint:

"I'm doing well, I'm here and I have a home, it's warm......"
