If such an island goes to Zhanbu Prefecture one by one, I don't know when it will be when it will be in Zhanbu Prefecture. The boat keeper did not tell his real name from beginning to end, but the two of them could guess it roughly, claiming to have lived for tens of thousands of years, slapping the big kun with one slap, and has been dangling in the East China Sea, who else could there be?

Zhang Muliu was too seriously injured, and now half of his energy is focused on the violent true intentions, and the other half is almost exhausted by a woman who likes to go shopping and is especially able to bargain. The young man didn't find out that he was a big money fan in the past, but then he thought about it, she had to help her mother weave cloth to earn money when she was very young, and now it is not unacceptable to become a money fan, since the window paper has been pierced, then there must be a man's consciousness.

Li Qiushui actually asked the young man: "When did you like me? If you don't say anything, you will be beaten!"

The young man knew that this was a proposition, but he still answered truthfully: "I don't know, where can I calculate this clearly." Anyway, the moment you were sucked into the big kun's mouth, I regretted it......"

said grinning and said slowly: "That bullish car boy came here, and it seems that he wants to apologize." ”

The woman turned her head, and sure enough, the car Jucheng, who was still dressed in brocade, walked slowly, and Lao Yuan looked charming.

After a while, he walked in front of the two, bowed his head deeply, and his voice trembled a little: "Two seniors, the kid was offended a lot on the ferry before, and today I came to apologize." ”

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "Don't worry, you're not bad like this, at most, people will be beaten, and they won't kill you." ”

Che Jucheng listened to the words of the young man in front of him, and a cold sweat broke out, and his back was wet in an instant. He went home and told the scene on the boat, and almost scared his own son into selling his property, but the owner of the island smiled and said not to worry, and the richest man in the car barely stuffed his heart back into his throat.

Che Jucheng wiped his sweat and said with a wry smile: "Don't scare me, senior, although I am acting quite nonsense, I also think that I haven't done anything wrong, so I ask my predecessor to let me go." ”

Zhang Muliu turned his head to look at Liqiushui, and then spread out his hands with Che Jucheng, and said helplessly: "You have to see if the heroines around me disagree." ”

Li Qiushui said impatiently: "Apologize, what about the ceremony?"

The rich boy breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and pretended to be calm and said: "The owner of the island guesses that the two of you are going to Zhanbu Prefecture, my family and the owner of the island have friends who have the same business field, and the cargo ship that comes and goes will just go to the ferry in Penny Island." The two of you can take our ferry and wait for the ferry that goes around the four continents - nothing. ”

Zhang Muliu nodded with a smile, he hadn't heard of a ferry boat traveling around the four continents, but he couldn't lose his predecessor's demeanor in front of this kid, so he looked like I knew.

The woman on the side looked at the young man and wanted to cover her face, which was too embarrassing. She said, "Why don't you know anything?"

The young man smiled and didn't speak, thinking that this must be a ferry ship that was not long ago, but if it had hundreds of thousands of years, he would not know it, it seemed that this temper that did not like to see the excitement really had to be changed in time.

After saying a word, he said indifferently: "When will the ferry come and when will it go?"

Che Jucheng hurriedly replied: "It has docked and is unloading the goods." Our owner would like to invite the two of us to talk to each other, and then we can take the boat. I also specially prepared a cabin with a wide view for the two seniors, and it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so as to teach the two to enjoy the moon. ”

Li Qiushui suddenly smiled when he heard this, turned his head and squinted and smiled: "Do you want money?"

The car shook its head like a rattle.

......

According to Che Jucheng, the owner of the island is called Niu Fang, and whether it is the islanders or the monks on the island, they all call him a cow herder, and he is not annoyed, but very happy. Because he is a true native monk, he apprenticed in the Aries Palace in Penny's Island, and after completing his studies, he returned to Xiangertan to serve as the owner of the island, and has been the owner of the island for forty years.

Zhang Muliu felt that if it was really as said by Che Jucheng, this Niu Fang must be a quiet and elegant person.

The owner of the island is located on the south side of the island in the middle of the lake, with a poetic and picturesque end, a three-entry house, and the backyard is the alley and pond. There is another pontoon bridge that goes straight into the water for dozens of zhang, there is a water pavilion at the end, and chairs fly on three sides, and there are several square benches of stone in the middle.

Che Jucheng didn't come with him, but an old boatman supported a bamboo raft and took the two to the pontoon.

Only here did Zhang Muliu know that the so-called cattle herding baby should actually be called a cattle herder.

Zhang Muliu let go of the autumn water, took a few steps forward, and hugged his fists outside the water pavilion and said with a smile: "Zhushan Zhang Beigu, and Baiyue are away from Luoxia, and they are here to disturb the island owner." ”

This pseudonym was determined after thinking all the way from Qiushui, in fact, she doesn't like to read more than Zhang Muliu, and she was born in Baiyue, and she has never been interested in any poetry and songs. This poem is still a stone carving that she accidentally glanced at when she hid in the sea of clouds and watched Zhang Muliu in Hongdu.

After talking to Zhang Muliu, the young man smiled and said: "You may not know who wrote this poem, but when it comes to his other verses, you must also know." ”

He didn't bother to open his mouth from Qiushui, just one look, and the young man immediately understood. So he smiled and said: "There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor." You must have heard of this, right?"

The owner of the island stood up when the bamboo was drained into the water, and it was not until the young man clasped his fists that he returned the salute with the etiquette of a scholar.

"Both of them are young talents, and it is an honor to be able to look down on me, an old guy who has worked hard for half of his life. ”

The old island owner smiled and welcomed the two into the water pavilion, there were three square stools next to the stone table, but they did not sit down from Qiushui, and only after Zhang Muliu sat down did she slowly walk to the flying chair behind the young man and sit by the railing.

The cold and glamorous woman who sits upright, except for bargaining when buying things, never likes to use her brain to think about things. One is that he is not good at it, and the other is that he can't think of a good way. It's better now, with him by his side, it's good to leave the matter of grinding with people to him, because this island owner must have something to ask for.

The old man's tea-making efforts made Zhang Muliu extremely helpless, but he also loved to drink tea, but where was the old man in front of him who was exquisite. Tea is drunk in my hometown is a dark clay pot, simmering next to a charcoal fire to make tea, as if the older a person, the more tea leaves in the jar, the more bitter the taste.

The old man next door loves to bully Zhang Muliu when he is a child, and Zhang Muliu is also happy to play with him. Every time I finish practicing the sword, I have to find the middle-aged man Kan Dashan, and I will always find a reason to coax him out of the door, and secretly offer a bubble of boy urine. Now that it's been so long, I don't know if he knows that those weird-tasting teas are actually the bad taste of Xiaoliu'er, whom he has always liked.

Later, he grew bigger and bigger, and left his hometown and returned to his hometown, the original middle-aged man had gray hair unconsciously, and Zhang Muliu never called the old man again, just called grandpa. A few miles west from the ancestral tomb of the Qiao family, there is a lonely grave bag in a wheat field, which is said to be the grandmother of the grandfather, who has to go to the grave to worship since childhood. Zhang Muliu, who was in his Chinese New Year's Eve, first went to Xiaozhushan and then worshiped at the ancestral grave by the river, and then returned to cut yellow paper to go to the wheat field. That day, after the yellow paper burned out, he walked back slowly, and casually glanced down the mountain, and found a gray-haired man squatting under a stone mound to light the yellow paper, and his mouth was still talking. Even though the voice was very small, Zhang Muliu still heard the old man say:

"Son! I didn't bury you in the ancestral grave, I have no ability to be a father, so many years have passed, you should also be reincarnated, what's the matter if you stay in Xiaozhushan like this? Your younger brother has married a daughter-in-law, and his father and mother are very good, don't worry!"

The low rocky mountain, known as the Valley of Leeks, is said to be a place dedicated to throwing children to death.

At that moment, Zhang Muliu suddenly remembered a vague face, when he was a child, he was afraid of the dark and thunder, and he often went to the neighbor's yard to play, and it rained for half a month one year, and the thunder continued to sound every night, and several lightning bolts in the night sky continued to meet and roar. He remembered that night he sat on the threshold of the old man's house, and his aunt's face was pale, as if she was seriously ill, and after that, the family next door seemed to be missing something.

The eldest son of the old man died before his mother left!

I don't know why I thought of so many things, and then I looked up at the old man in front of me, and the two people who looked and had very different shapes suddenly looked a little similar in Zhang Muliu's eyes, very similar.

The woman who was sitting on the chair could feel that he was a little sad even if she couldn't see Zhang Muliu's expression, so she transmitted her voice to the past, and her voice was very gentle:

"I'm here!"

Zhang Muliu returned to his senses, turned his head and smiled at Li Qiushui before saying to Niu Fang: "I'm really sorry, old man, I just remembered some old things, and I was a little distracted." ”

Niu Fang handed over a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Don't worry, who hasn't had a few stories that teach people to tears." ”

After a pause, the elderly island owner continued, "It seems that since ancient times, the more people who lived in the north, the more they loved to drink, and the farther they went, the more fragrant tea they were. Old man, I'm used to making tea as a child, so I won't drink with Zhang Gongzi today. ”

Zhang Muliu smiled and said no.

Niu Fang turned his head to Li Qiushui and said, "This girl is so blessed!"

Li Qiushui asked, "Where did the blessing come from?"

After drinking a cup of tea, the old man said: "How many people in the world don't take themselves seriously, but only the people who live in their hearts take it seriously?"

The woman glared at Zhang Muliu, as if to say, "This is the nursery you found?"

Zhang Muliu pretended to be deep and said: "I am most afraid that I am speechless and dusty." ”

The old man laughed and thought that the pair in front of him were very good.

After drinking some tea, Zhang Muliu stared at Niu Fang with a smile on his face, and never looked away for a long time. The old island owner smiled bitterly, suddenly looked serious, got up and saluted deeply, the old man bowed and said to the young man who was sitting: "The kid of the Che family told me a lot of feats of the two, but what the old man admired the most was that Zhang Gongzi pushed the ferry. ”

Zhang Muliu still smiled and didn't speak, and he didn't support the cow.

After a while, the old man said again: "Little old man, Niu Fang has something to ask for!"

Zhang Muliu picked up the old man, and after the two sat down together, the young man's voice was hearty: "Old gentleman, please speak." ”

......

Penny Continent is a large island chain sandwiched between Shengshen Continent and Zhanbu Continent, one by one islands and reefs are connected together, it looks like a huge piece on the map, and it can catch up with half the size of Shengshen Continent, but in fact, all the land is added together, and there is no Yue Guoda. Because it is an intermittent strip, it is called Skinny Continent, and there have been several powerful people, but Skinny Continent is extremely xenophobic, because of the massacre of people from other continents a hundred years ago, it was sanctioned by the three religions, and all monks in Skinny Continent are not allowed to cross the sea.

It wasn't until a few years ago that a young man took a feat as a petition for his name that made the Ichizhou monks a little more lenient.

After listening to Niu Fang's words, Li Qiushui was already extremely disgusted with Slender Penny, and along the way, he was going to cut people when he got off the boat. Zhang Muliu was very helpless, it seemed that the influence of the ice attribute had been slowly eliminated, and she was about to turn back into the woman she was unable to carry before.

Taking a cargo ship to Penny's Island can save a lot of time, but it still takes about ten days. The reason why the big ferries of each continent are very fast is because the sky is extremely high, and they only travel between continents, and they do not stop at small islands and islands along the way.

The cabin is much larger, and it took a lot of effort for the kid to gather into the boat, not only has a protruding observation deck, but there are also pots and pans in the cabin. The most outrageous thing is that there is a huge bath bucket in the corner, which is covered by a curtain, but the curtain is made of an extremely rare material, as thin as cicada wings, if you look through the curtain, the bath bucket will loom. After Zhang Muliu entered the door, he was attracted by this large bath bucket, and when he turned his head, he found a woman squinting and smiling, and the young man was a little weak-hearted, and persuaded himself that he had never seen this kind of big world.

Who knew that the Qiushui God came over unconsciously, the woman was actually only half a head lower than Zhang Muliu, she stood on tiptoe slightly, stared at the young man's eyes and said softly: "Otherwise...... Shall I take a shower?"

Zhang Muliu suddenly put on a straight face, as if he was very angry, his hands gently pressed the woman's shoulders, and pressed her down on tiptoe a little, then he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Qiushui, I'm very angry! Who are you treating me? Of course, it is beautiful and delicious, but where is life important!"

Li Qiushui rolled his eyes, stood on tiptoe again, and knocked the young man's forehead vigorously with his forehead. She walked a few steps to the terrace and sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate, ignoring the young man again.

In fact, Liqiushui sighed in his heart, sure enough, after leaving his hometown, this guy seemed to be a different person, skinless and faceless, and he looked the same as when he returned to the town, and said things with a clear conscience seriously.

Heh, man. Do you dare to say that you are not a chick? Are you provoking this girl?

Zhang Muliu secretly rejoiced, fortunately, I am an old Jianghu! Otherwise, I would not be able to escape today. Alas, the world says that immortals are good, but do you know that immortals are also afraid of their wives?

In fact, both of them found a lot of changes in each other, but they didn't find that they also had many changes. Li Qiushui has never called herself an old lady again, as if she will really get a lot older when she says this. Zhang Muliu has changed the most, the young man who used to look very cheerful, in fact, there is always a dark cloud hanging over his heart, and now he is really happy.

......

It is the fifteenth day of the first month of another year, and other places have just finished the New Year, and it is still very lively, but Xiaozhushan is not. If you count from the time Zhang Mu left home, this is the fourth year. If you count from the disaster in Xiaozhushan, this is the third year. The whole foggy Xiaozhushan is still wrapped in a layer of silver carpet, and there is no joy at all.

Xiaozhushan has a rule since ancient times, if someone in the family dies, a three-day banquet should be placed when the death is put into the coffin, and a three-day banquet should be placed on the death day of the third year. And every year from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the third day of the Lunar New Year, people with white couplets are not allowed to visit the door, and the whole village, regardless of their surname, must take a pile of yellow paper to kowtow.

In the past three years, every Chinese New Year's Eve, the deceased ancestors will be invited home for a reunion in the evening, and they will be sent back to the prefecture on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the fifteenth day of the first month of the third year, it is to send the ancestors to death. In today's Xiaozhushan, almost every household has to send off their elders in the family.

Some go early and some go late, when they go, they are all dressed in linen and wear filial piety, and most of them have taken off their filial piety clothes, not because they are afraid of being embarrassed or anything, but because since they are all gone, it is time to let go. Even when they met other families on the way, they would smile and say hello to each other and chat with each other. I don't know how many people knelt in front of their family's grave and muttered:

"It's been three years in a flash, and the family is very good, hurry up and hurry, let's go to Chaosheng!"

How happy these people are laughing on the road, how sad they will be when they kneel in front of the graves.

The courtyard of Zhang Muliu's house is a little lively, as if there is no shortage of popularity in his family. When Zhang Muliu was young, there would be many children playing around the yard, and when he grew up, he would be a group of teenagers who drank all night long. Nowadays, even though they are not at home, there are still many children who enjoy playing in this yard.

The two sons of the eldest aunt don't like to read, and the eldest has a kind personality, but he is not the master of Ansheng when he beats the child. The second child is extremely petite, but he is a very ruthless character.

Zhang Muliu actually raised a dog, a local dog, but it grew very big, the size of an ordinary calf. It was Zhang Shuying who received it after diagnosing people in the next village and planned to eat dog meat, but Zhang Muliu liked the dog very much, so he raised it. Nan Luo, the eldest son of the eldest aunt, likes to run to Xiaozhushan very much, and the half-grown child runs ten miles alone, and the next morning he walks ten miles back, just to sleep at his grandmother's house for one night. One year, Nanluo didn't know what to smoke and said that he was going to slaughter the dog and eat dog meat, Zhang Muliu took an axe to scare Nanluo, and accidentally cut the child's toe with the axe. Afterwards, Zhang Muliu sat on the steps and held back his tears and trembled slightly, he wanted his aunt to beat him up at that time, even if he also cut himself with an axe, it didn't matter, but the eldest aunt didn't even scold him, it was the first time in his life that Zhang Muliu felt very guilty.

The little aunt is younger, she just gave birth to a little girl, the road is unstable but she has a chivalrous spirit, the young man is most afraid of this little girl, in the eyes of the unicorn, the little girl is the little witch. The son is more timid, but he is very strong, but he doesn't dare to do anything.

At this moment, a group of children gathered together, standing in a row, playing the Wang Baquan method taught by Zhang Muliu, no matter how you look at it, this group of children is full of vitality.

An old man sat barefoot on the steps, looked at the children playing boxing in the snow, and said for no reason:

"When I was a child, I was most afraid of growing up slowly, and when I grew up, I was afraid of growing up faster, and after thirty, I was not my former self unconsciously, and after fifty, I was most afraid that my children and grandchildren would not be in front of me!"

......

In the East China Sea of Shengshen Continent, there is an ordinary ferry boat going east, and the place where it goes is Fuso.

A young man who was very difficult to mess with at the sight, wearing black armor, stood at the stern of the boat, with a copper hammer hanging from his waist on each side. He clasped his hands on his chest and squinted at the west-setting sun, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhang Zhuokang is actually an older generation, younger than Zhang Muliu, but he is the same generation as Zhang Muliu's father, but Zhang Muliu has never called his uncle since he was a child. The two have always fought since they were children, Zhang Zhuokang is a little fat man, but he can't always beat the short and small Zhang Muliu. Every time the two of them fought, Zhang Muliu would squat on the edge of Zhang Zhuokang's yard and scold people, while Zhang Zhuokang would smash all the flower pots placed in front of the short child's house one by one.

The little fat man is actually more restless than Zhang Muliu, the former likes to bully people, and the latter likes to bully people who can't be provoked. Once the two of them went home from Xiaozhu Town with the children of another village, Zhang Zhuokang kept bullying the children of other villages along the way, and they had already reached the foot of the mountain, Zhang Muliu turned around and found that the other two were gone, and he thought that the two were hiding to scare himself, so he ran home quickly. The next day, I learned that Zhang Zhuokang couldn't stand the bullying, the two scuffled together, fell into a deep canal on the side, and the little fat man's arm was broken.

But the little fat man has always been very righteous, even if his arm was wearing a thick plaster, when he saw a group of children from other villages surrounding Zhang Muliu, he roared and ran over, and simply used the plaster as a weapon to fight with people.

The little fat man was now a big fat man, clubbed in the stern of the boat like a god, and when he couldn't see the sun, he sat down and muttered:

"Fuck it! Why is Lao Tzu going farther and farther? Can I go home next year and have a drink with them?"

......

There is a mass grave outside Luoyang City, which is dedicated to burying those who have been sentenced to death and do not allow their families to collect their bodies. Almost all of them were rolled up in straw mats, and they were buried in a random pit. In the night, a few wild dogs with red eyes dug open a dirt bag looking at the young man, and when they tore open the straw mat and were about to eat the dead body that had rotted to the bone, the headless corpse suddenly moved! Reaching out and grabbing the neck of a wild dog, he twisted it at will and threw it into the distance, and the remaining wild dogs had already scattered and fled.

The headless corpse sat up slowly, then grabbed a dead branch and stuck it in its neck, then picked up the head and stuck it at the other end of the dead branch before slowly getting up.

The monstrous corpse had rotted down to a bits of flesh, and he turned his head to look around, straightening the head that couldn't be turned back, and then grinning slowly.

It's a big storm for a while!

......

This cargo ship had already been greeted by the Che family and Niu Fang, but in fact, it was just a word.

"Those two are people that Aries Palace can't afford to mess with. ”

So Zhang Muliu and Liqiushui have not been disturbed, more than ten days is nothing to the two, and the two are not a little bored together.

So at this moment, there is a woman sitting on the terrace with her knees crossed and admiring the moon, and a man is admiring the woman admiring the moon.

Li Qiushui suddenly turned his head and frowned, "Dog thief, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Muliu looked faceless and skinless, opened his palm and looked at his palm, then raised his head and stared at the woman, and said with a smile:

"It's all mine!"
