Chapter 25: Sweeping Leaf Villa

The road did not stop for a day, and it has come to the border of northern Shanxi. On this day, I walked to a mountain col, the mountains on both sides were winding like dragons, and there was a ravine in the middle, and the trees were lush, faintly revealing some corners. The three of them rode towards the Sweeping Leaf Villa.

At this time, I only heard the bell ringing of the horse behind me, and when I turned my head, a group of people came from behind, it was the two boys who attacked the cottage of Guodi Lake, and returned from hunting with a group of people, and the horses were hung with pheasants and hares and other prey.

Huang Buyuan said to Leng Yuhu: "Later, these two boys will fight, and we must also show our ability, otherwise, they will look down on us and snub us." ”

When the two boys saw it, they exclaimed, "Okay, I'm calling on the door." Give me arrows. The group lined up, drew their bows and shot arrows, and for a moment the arrows were like flying locusts, and they shot at a rapid pace. Here the three men were on horseback, and they hurriedly slashed away with their swords, and a thin arrow fell in front of the horse's head.

The kid said to himself, "It's not good, I'll go and invite my father to come." He turned to the other kid and said, "Yang Xiaoxia, you shoot them." I'm going to move the rescuers. Then he beat his horse and ran. Here Yang Xiaoxia had to shoot the three people with arrows, lest they escape, but the three people didn't mean to run at all, just rode on their horses from a distance and calmly removed the arrows. Yang Xiaoxia thought to herself: "It's useless to fight. Then he shouted, "It's not an opponent, let's scatter and run." When the group saw Yang Xiaoxia beating the horse and running away, they also slapped the horse and ran away.

Only then did the three of them turn around and lead their horses towards Sweeping Leaf Villa and came slowly. When I entered the valley, I saw that there were houses hidden in the woods in front of me, and the fields on both sides were patchy, and a road led only to the mountain village.

It didn't take long for a group of people to come out of the village, one of them was in his forties, slightly taller, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a big mouth and a slightly flattened mouth, with a majestic stride, a calm and mighty momentum, leading everyone, striding towards this side.

Here, Huang Buyuan had already stepped forward and shouted: "Brother Zhang Xian, don't come to harm, I haven't seen each other for ten years." ”

The owner of the Zhang Guangzhen Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized the guest, and said with a smile: "Ah, it turned out to be Brother Huang, you miss me to death, you haven't come to me for so long." After a few steps, the two met, and their big hands were clasped together.

Huang Buyuan introduced Leng Yuhu: "This hero is the owner of Zhang Zhuang of Sweeping Leaf Villa, a hero in the north, and his 'Yi Shooting Nine Days' archery is unique in the world. He also introduced to Zhang Zhuangzhu: "This friend, Brother Leng Yuhu, is the fair king of Nantaihang, this is Ye Nuxia, the two are Wudang disciples, and Wudang swordsmanship is famous all over the world." ”

Zhang Zhuang said: "I don't know that the heroes of the world are coming, and I am offended. He pointed to the two boys and said, "This is Xiao'er Gangxu, this is Yang Xiaoxia, the son of a loyal minister, who was offended a lot just now." Come over quickly, and accompany Huang Bo and Leng Daxia. ”

That Zhang Gangxu thought that he was good at archery, and he looked down on the heroes of the world, and today he saw that the three of them were powerful in martial arts, and he was convinced, so he hurriedly stepped forward with Yang Xiaoxia and the two of them to accompany Leng Yuhu and the three of them.

Huang Buyuan said: "It's really a hero out of a teenager, and we are also old." ”

Zhang Guangzhen said: "Brother Huang is polite. Quick, quick, please. "With Huang Buyuan's hand, he came to the village.

It turned out that after Huang Buyuan learned the mandarin duck knife technique, he visited heroes all over the world. Ten years ago, I came to the north and did not know the owner of Zhang Zhuang, and since then, I have become a good friend, and Huang Buyuan lived in the village for more than ten days before leaving.

When friends met, Zhang Zhuang was warmly entertained, Zhang Gangxu and Yang Xiaoxia sat together, and the atmosphere in the hall was very lively.

Zhang Zhuang said: "Brother Huang, Leng Daxia, Ye Nuxia, everyone is friends, I have nothing to say, you look at this Yang Xiaoxia, his father was originally a minister of the DPRK and China, because of the impeachment of the minister of power Yan Song, he was framed by Yan Song, and the whole family was beheaded. A knight risked his life to rescue him and sent him to me to learn arrows. Because he has the revenge of killing his father, he has practiced hard, and his archery skills have been successful, so he is just waiting to avenge his Yang family. When Yang Xiaoxia heard that his family had a tragic encounter, she didn't dare to cry in front of the guests, so she had to endure it, and tears were already flowing on her face.

At this time, the owner of Zhang Zhuang instructed a servant: "You go to the kitchen and confess, and make the prey that the children have hunted, and I will entertain my friends." Then he said to another servant, "You go and tell Mr. Xu that there is a guest in the village, please invite him to come." The servant said yes and went.

The owner of Zhang Zhuang said to the three people: "I came to my village last month to have a guest, named Xu Wentao, a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River. He is a genius, Wen Taowu is strategic, and he has millions of male soldiers in his chest, just like Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms. He is still a wonderful person, although he is a reader, but he is not pedantic at all, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, can sing, can blow the flute, talks wittily, and loves to make friends with strange people in the world. ”

After a while, the servant came in and said, "Mr. Xu is painting a picture, and now he is painting with his heart, and he said that he will come back at dinner." ”

The owner of Zhang Zhuang didn't think it was strange, but told the servant that he must send the wine and food to Mr. Xu. He also hurriedly instructed his family to serve wine and food, and for a while, the mountain food and wild mushrooms were piled up on a table, and the guests and hosts were happy.

Drink wine and tea. After tea, Mr. Zhang was very interested and invited everyone to watch Mr. Xu paint. Leng Yuhu said: "We reckless people have gone, and we can't help but disturb Mr. Xu's elegance." ”

Zhang Zhuang said: "Let's just look at it from a distance, and by the way, go to the mountains to blow the wind, look at the scenery, and sober up for a while." ”

Zhang Zhuang led everyone out of the village, to the south into the mountain road, on both sides are ancient pines and ancient cypresses, the needles are beautiful, the frost skin is rainy, the ground is thick leaves, and the birds are singing all around. Along a stone pedal path, zigzags and goes up, and a col emerges halfway up the mountainside, with four small houses in the middle. Zhang Zhuang said to everyone: "This is the hut I built, and it is a place where I retreat and practice archery, no one disturbs me, and it is relatively quiet." Mr. Xu took a fancy to this place, lived here, and painted every day. ”

Everyone came to the front of the room softly, and looked in through the open window, there were several shelves of books in front of the wall, and in the middle there was a painting on it. There was no sound in the room. Zhang Zhuang said: "He is not in the house, let's just go in and see, what is he painting?"

The crowd pushed open the hidden door, walked in, and came to the painting. This is a large northern landscape painting, but it is not an ordinary painting, it marks the dangerous places of the pass, but it looks like a map of the pass.

Zhang Zhuang said: "This Mr. Xu came to me, not to enjoy the mountains and scenery, he came to the side of the plug, that is, to survey the pass, which place should be guarded, which place should be stationed." ”

Leng Yuhu and the others let out an "oh", thinking in their hearts that this Mr. Xu is really a special talent, and he must make friends with him.

Zhang Zhuang said: "The master is not at home, let's go to the mountain, let the two Leng Daxia see our northern scenery, reckless and vast, but it is different from your south." ”

The group left the hut and walked along the mountain path towards the mountain. Walking to the ridge, the terrain here is very high, there are no trees, the vision is wide, the northern mountains are majestic, the weather is majestic, the mighty is vast, and it makes people open-minded. Walking up along the ridge, a mountain peak in front of you is the highest point here, which is a good place to look at the view, only to see a half-mountain pavilion in the middle of the mountain, and there is a person standing in the pavilion. Zhang Zhuang said: "Isn't that Mr. Xu?" ”

Mr. Xu had also seen the comer, and hurriedly greeted him, shouting, "Offended, offended." ”

When everyone came closer, Leng Yuhu was slightly disappointed when he saw that Mr. Xu was not good-looking. Mr. Xu is of average height, with a slightly dark complexion, exposed front teeth, a sharp chin, and eyes looking at each other. Leng Yuhu had to think to himself: "People with special faces must have something special." So he hugged his fists and said, "Long Yang! Long Yang!"
