The two got along in the hall for a while, during which the old man Deng and his wife poked their heads out of the kitchen and looked into the hall, Aunt Deng saw that the two were chatting with each other, and there was no look of disgust with each other, she was a lot happier in her heart, and turned back to the old man Deng and said, "Old man, I think Xiao Nuan and this young man can succeed, you see them, how happy they are." ”

Old man Deng saw it in his eyes, although the two were chatting, but they were not chatting happily like the old woman said, he didn't think that the two of them could get married with just one kiss, but as long as the two could get along, then everything had a chance.

Thinking of this, Old Man Deng laughed in a low voice, "They have all reached the age of talking about marriage, if everything goes well, it will definitely come to fruition, you and I can also make a good marriage, Xiao Nuan, this girl has no father and mother, and there is not so much trouble, if this kid can marry her, the rest of his life will definitely be good." ”

The old woman thinks so, Li Nuan has been liked since she was a child, and she likes it even more in the eyes of the old woman, the old woman and the old man Deng have two sons under their knees, the eldest son went to Shanghai, the younger son went to Guangzhou, the two became a family in two places, and they rarely came back, the old couple worked hard all their lives, and in their old age, there were no descendants to guard by their side, and in some respects it was indeed bitter.

Old man Deng and his wife have no daughter, when Li Nuan's parents died, the two thought of adopting Li Nuan, but at that time their family conditions were not superior, the two sons were also in school, everywhere is a place to spend money, if you support another girl, it is really difficult, so the idea of adopting Li Nuan was also stranded, for which Aunt Deng was uncomfortable for many years.

This time Li Nuan came back, Aunt Deng was overjoyed, and she regarded Li Nuan as her daughter, so she worked with Old Man Deng to find a partner for Li Nuan and let her become a family in her hometown.

Li Nuan has no father and no mother, Duanmu Shenjiu is also fatherless and motherless, the object that Old Man Deng is looking for is very suitable for Li Nuan, since Duanmu Shenjiu has no father and no mother, then he can come to the door and form a small family with Li Nuan in this small village, if the two of them work hard, maybe they can buy a house in the city in the future, and live a small life, happy and happy.

Aunt Deng even thought about it, after Li Nuan and Duanmu Shenjiu had children, she would help them take care of the children, the elderly, and this is the expectation, to be able to help the children take care of the children, in fact, it is a kind of happiness, although her grandson is not around, but Li Nuan is no different from her own daughter in the eyes of Aunt Deng, and being able to help Li Nuan take care of the children is almost the same as taking care of her grandson.

The smoke in the kitchen gradually dissipated, the rice was already cooked, the wind blew in the courtyard, blowing the smoke away, the sky was gloomy, and there was a faint sound of thunder, it was winter thunder.

"It's a really strange day, and there was thunder for some reason. Old man Deng lit a cigarette, leaned against the kitchen door, and looked at the sky outside.

Aunt Deng opened the lid of the cauldron, which was made of fragrant pot chicken, she picked up a basin, kneaded the dough and pasted it on the pot, and said while sticking: "It's ready to get out of the pot soon, old man, go and call the two children to wash their hands and prepare for dinner." ”

Old man Deng smoked a cigarette and looked at the hall again, and said with a smile, "What's the hurry, don't worry, wait, let them go everywhere." ”

Aunt Deng shook her head with a smile and acquiesced.

In the hall, Duanmu Shenjiu was sitting on the bench, his hands on his knees, his eyes were not squinting, and he was well-behaved, while Li Nuan was sitting on the side like a small jasper, and from time to time he peeked at Duanmu Shenjiu, a righteous man and a gentleman.

The thunder outside was not loud, but the wind gradually became stronger, blowing open the half-covered window, and a gust of cold wind penetrated into the house, blowing Li Nuan couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Duanmu Shenjiu tilted his head slightly and asked, "It's a little cold, Miss Li has clothes here, I'll help you get them and add them." ”

Li Nuan shook his head silently, frowned at Duanmu Shenjiu's side face, and hesitated, "Do you talk like this when you're serious?"

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at it again suspiciously, "Which one?"

Li Nuan lowered his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu was even more puzzled, his heart was really inexplicable, and then he heard Li Nuan ask, "Are you going to keep your identity hidden from Deng Bo?"

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled and didn't answer Li Nuan, but said, "You are different and have been hiding from your Uncle Deng and Aunt Deng." ”

Li Nuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I have thought about teaching Uncle Deng and Aunt Deng some exhalation methods to prolong life, but I have never found a suitable opportunity to tell them." ”

After sitting on the chair for a long time, it was a little uncomfortable, so Duanmu Shenjiu stood up, walked a few steps, and said seriously, "Your idea is good, but I advise you to give up this idea." ”

Li Nuan looked at Duanmu Shenjiu who stood up, frowned and asked, "Why did you give up?"

"It's not bad, it's not okay. Duanmu Shenjiu explained, "Ordinary people have the lives of ordinary people, martial artists have the luck of martial people, every time you give alms, you are sending out your luck, such as the lack of aura today, the luck of martial arts has become very precious, and it must not be easily given away." ”

Li Nuan didn't have a look of sudden realization, but laughed, "It's just a little luck, I don't care, although I've also heard Master talk about it." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Li Nuan in a little surprise, pondered for a while, and then asked, "I heard you say that you are a monk and a nun in Yuchun Nunnery, then Yuchun Nunnery, but a sect with a deep history?

Li Nuan replied honestly, "The history of Yuchun Nunnery is not very long, and it is still only two hundred years old, the first generation of heads came from the Emei faction, so the exercises practiced by Yuchun Nunnery are also closely related to Emei, until now, Yuchun Nunnery will send a large number of filial salutes to Emei every year." ”

"So, Yuchun'an's status in the rivers and lakes is not strong?"

Li Nuan's breathing was slightly heavier, he glanced at Duanmu Shenjiu, and said: "Strong or not, at least no one bullies you, there is a part of the industry under the Yuchun Nunnery, and there have been specialized personnel to take care of the business for many years, and it can be regarded as a sect that is half hermit and half into the world." ”

"Oh. Duanmu Shenjiu sighed, thought about it for a long time, and hesitated, "Miss Li, I have a few sets of exercises for women here, why don't I teach you this, are you willing to practice?"

A look of surprise flashed on Li Nuan's face, and he looked at Duanmu Shenjiu's face seriously, seeing that he was also serious.

"Why do you want to teach it to me?" Li Nuan couldn't help but ask.

Duanmu Shenjiu had an embarrassed look on his face, and said with some embarrassment, "I can't hide it, these sets of exercises were created by my wife, Zichu Guan Qingzhou, and they are not allowed to be practiced by women, and they belong to the law of the yin. ”

When Li Nuan heard this, he immediately blushed to the root of his ears, lowered his head shyly, and said angrily: "Look at your well-dressed, like a decent gentleman, I didn't expect to say such a thing, what a disciple!"

Duanmu Shenjiu looked at Li Nuan with some surprise on the side, not knowing why she suddenly said such a thing, after thinking about it, he came to his senses, and then explained with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, what I said about cooperative dual cultivation is not to do things for men and women. ”

Li Nuan's face was a little better, but he still glared at Duanmu Shenjiu unhappily, and then quickly lowered his head.

Duanmu Shenjiu asked again, "Miss Li, do you want to learn?" I can teach you. ”

Li Nuan didn't agree, but raised his head and looked at Duanmu Shenjiu and asked, "You just said that your wife's name is Zichuguan Qingzhou?"

Duanmu Shenjiu nodded.

Li Nuan asked again, "Is it the Zichuguan clan that died out in history, the female sword fairy Chuguan Qingzhou?"

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled and continued to nod, "Yes." ”

Li Nuan was slightly surprised and said, "I didn't expect her and you to be Taoist couples, which is quite surprising." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu was a little puzzled and asked, "How did Miss Li know about Wan'er?"

"Wan'er?" Li Nuan asked.

Her nickname. Duanmu Shinjiu explained.

"Oh. Li Nuan nodded, shrugged her shoulders and said, "I know that she is not unusual, everyone in our Yuchun Nunnery knows her, especially my master, not only knows her, but also goes to her grave every year to visit her." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu's face suddenly stiffened there, his eyes changed a variety of complex emotions in an instant, and the qi was uncontrollable and exposed, and all the objects within two meters of himself as the center were pushed out one after another, and even Li Nuan, who was sitting on the chair, was pushed two meters along with the chair.

Li Nuan got up from the chair in a panic, reached out to hold the table, chairs and benches so that they would not fall, and the tea in the cup on the table spilled and fell to the ground along the gap in the wooden board.

"What are you doing!" Li Nuan asked loudly.

Duanmu Shenjiu raised his eyes, with pain between his eyebrows, and asked out loud, "Wan'er still has a grave left in the world?"

Li Nuan was surprised, "You don't know?"

Duanmu Shenjiu wrinkled his eyebrows and shook his head, "Where is the grave?"

Li Nuan replied with wide eyes, "It's on the mountain behind our Yuchun Nunnery, under a very big mulberry tree. ”

Duanmu Shenjiu smiled sadly and muttered in a low voice, "She loves mulberries the most." ”

The sound in the house alarmed the old man Deng in the kitchen, who crossed the threshold of the kitchen, ran to the door of the hall, glanced in a few times, found no abnormality, and finally looked at the two of them and said, "Wash your hands and eat, Xiao Nuan, come and serve the food." ”

Li Nuan agreed, and then walked outside the house, Duanmu Shenjiu looked at the ground with a wooden expression, his mind was turning, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

The delicious meal was soon brought into the hall, and was successively put on the shabby table of eight immortals by the three of them, there were pot chickens, braised carp, and meatballs that had been oiled, as well as steamed sausages, the dishes were very rich, and the old man Deng also took out a jar of wine from under the big bed in the back room, and sealed the mouth of the altar with yellow paper and mud.

Duanmu Shenjiu's mood has not calmed down, and he sat down at the table in a reluctant manner, and Old Man Deng happily opened the seal of the wine jar on the side, and suddenly a smell of wine wafted all over the hall.

Old man Deng pushed Duanmu Shenjiu with his elbow, and joked while pouring wine, "Why are you absent-minded, and you can't give up when you see Xiao Nuan?"

Duanmu Shenjiu glanced at Old Man Deng, and then looked at the other two, Aunt Deng pretended to be indifferent to the meal, Li Nuan looked at Old Man Deng with the same expression as a little girl, and muttered: "Uncle Deng, you can't be normal..."

Old man Deng laughed a few times, handed Duanmu Shenjiu a bowl of wine, and said, "Come on, come on, do it first as respect, you do it first, I'm free." ”

Duanmu Shenjiu picked up the bowl and took a sip lightly, his thoughts were not on the dinner table at all, and he had already drifted far, far away.
