When Seocho heard that Mu Yirong wanted to learn spells, he said, "I'll teach you!"

"But I have to go back to Tarzan with you, right?"

Seocho nodded, Mu Yirong reached out and flicked the hat on Seocho's head: "Forget it, I don't want to plant fruit trees for you." ”

Mu Juezhi looked at Mu Yirong's intimate behavior towards Seocho and was a little surprised, his cousin, who has always rejected women thousands of miles away, is this flirting with Seocho?

He felt that Mu Yirong had a different attitude towards his cousin and aunt, and it turned out to be ......

Mu Juezhi laughed in his heart, Mu Yirong saw his strange expression, so he asked him what's wrong, is it uncomfortable to catch a cold in the rain?

Mu Juezhi smiled a little mysteriously and ambiguously: "I just feel that there is something happy about to happen." ”

Mu Juezhi said goodbye to Mu Yirong and Seocho at the fork in the road, went home to eat and rest, Mu Yirong said goodbye to him, walked side by side with Seocho on the waterlogged road that overflowed the soles of his boots.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Mu Yirong turned his head to look at Ruicao: "Last night, I worked hard for you." ”

"I just hope I can go back sooner. ”

"The news you heard last night is very important, so that we can get back sooner. ”

"That's good. ”

After Seocho replied to this sentence, she lowered her head and stopped talking, Mu Yirong wanted to see the expression on her face clearly, but her vision was completely obscured by the hanging hat.

Suddenly, Seocho turned her head suddenly, and the rain on the hat fell on her shoulders all at once, but she turned her face sideways like this, looking at Mu Yirong with inquiring eyes.

"What are you looking for? Could it be that you suspect that I have something to do with this case?"

Mu Yirong didn't expect that the doubts in his heart would be revealed like this, he stopped, was stunned for a long time before looking directly into Seocho's eyes, and spit out a voice that hid his emotions: "You will tell me what you wrote down in which little notebook." What is the purpose of coming to Mufu?"

"It's none of your business. ”

When Mu Yirong heard this, his face changed slightly, and Ruicao immediately said, "It's none of anyone's business." It's just about me, it's about me going down the mountain to practice. ”

Mu Yirong's eyes flickered, watching the rain sweep across Seocho's chin and fall on the placket of his clothes.

"Can I trust you?"

"Believing it or not has nothing to do with me. ”

After Seocho finished speaking without any warmth, he walked quickly through the rain curtain, jumped onto the stone steps of the gate of Liu's Mansion in three or two, stretched out his hand, and was about to pull the door, but Mu Yirong grabbed his wrist.

"I believe in you. ”

Seocho turned his head, revealing his two little tiger teeth: "You don't believe me, but you believe in your grandmother." But it doesn't matter, I care anyway. ”

Mu Yirong's hand holding Seocho's wrist suddenly tightened, and there was emotion in his eyes like a fish jumping out of the water: "Then what do you care about?"

"Practice. ”

Seocho highlighted these two words heavily, shook off Mu Yirong's hand, and knocked on the door.

Someone inside the door immediately pulled the door open and let out a "crunch" sound, like the moan of a trapped beast.

The courtyard of Liu's Mansion was surprisingly quiet, only the sound of rain hitting the eaves and the ground was heard.

Because the sky was dark, I turned the lamp early, and when I entered the door on the right hand side of the door, I watched the classroom of the people under the door, revealing the dim candlelight.

The gatekeeper told Mu Yirong and Ruicao that Steward Pang was in the master's room and had already instructed that if Mu Yirong and the others came back, please go to the master's room to eat.

Mu Yirong nodded in thanks, walked through the courtyard with Ruicao, walked through the hall, came to the back, walked through two verandahs in a twist and turn, and passed through two courtyards before coming to the small courtyard of the study where Liu Jingshan temporarily lived.

When Hou Hu and Hou Hou saw Mu Yirong coming back, they immediately greeted them, and said to Mu Yirong with some excitement: "Boss, introduce you to a friend." ”

The two of them dodged, and one person behind them, wearing a white robe, with crooked eyebrows and eyes, was the green swordsman Han Xiangzi who had just separated from Mu Yirong and Ruicao at the door of the restaurant.

"Brother Yirong, Pavilion Chief Girl, let's meet again in the next road, but I didn't expect to meet so soon. ”

Hou Hu heard the greetings between the green swordsman Han Xiangzi and Mu Yirong, and asked in astonishment, "Do you know each other?"

After asking, before he could answer, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "Just now, Han Xiangzi Shaoxia said that he went to visit the elm demon, presumably you met there, right?"

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi nodded, as if he was in his own home, and asked Mu Yirong and Seocho to sit down.

Mu Yirong sat down slowly, took the towel from Hou Hu's hand, wiped his shoulders wet with rain, and looked at the green swordsman Han Xiangzi with a smile: "I don't know Shaoxia, how can you be here?"

"I heard that County Lieutenant Liu was attacked by that elm monster, let me inquire, is that elm monster really as terrifying and hideous as the drunkard said?"

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi said and sighed deeply: "Sure enough, the myths are all lies. I didn't expect that the monster made of the elm tree was really hideous and hateful, and it wasted a piece of my infatuation in vain. ”

The world is really wonderful, and some people would fantasize about being able to have a great relationship with monsters, Hou Hu suddenly felt that he was such a mortal, and he really couldn't compare with the sword and the knights of the rivers and lakes who lived happily.

When the green swordsman Han Xiangzi lamented, Steward Pang walked out of the inner room with his body bent, and when he saw Mu Yirong, he immediately stepped forward to salute.

Mu Yirong asked Steward Pang to excuse himself, and said that Steward Pang's face was not good, and his body didn't seem to be very comfortable, so it was better to go back to the room to rest earlier.

Steward Pang waved his hand and said It doesn't matter, it's just that he has been a little tired in the past two days, so Mu Yirong doesn't have to worry, he has already ordered someone to prepare a meal in the front hall, and asked Mu Yirong and others to move to the front hall for dinner.

Mu Yirong turned his head to look at the inner room and asked Steward Pang, "Your master, haven't you woken up yet?"

Steward Pang sighed, and said that his master had been feeling unwell for a while before, but this time he was frightened and frightened, and he fell from mid-air, almost losing half his life, and I am afraid that he will have to sleep for a few days before he can wake up.

Mu Yirong was a little worried and asked if he wanted to invite another doctor to come and see, Steward Pang said that if his master had not woken up tomorrow, he would ask the doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and invited Mu Yirong and the others to go to the front hall to eat.

Mu Yirong glanced at the inner room, and after exchanging words with Hou Hu and Hou Hou, he left the two to continue to guard Liu Jingshan, and then he led Ruicao and followed Steward Pang to the front hall for dinner.

Butler Pang, who was hunched on his back, walked in front to lead the way, his steps were slow and heavy, but after a day, Mu Yirong felt that Steward Pang seemed to be more than ten years old, as if he had stepped into the coffin with one foot.

Mu Yirong apologized and said that they had disturbed a lot in the past two days, which made Steward Pang tired.

Steward Pang waved his hand, saying that he was old, and his health was not as good as day by day, plus he was worried about Liu Jingshan, he was a little angry, and he was restless in sleep, and it was not about Mu Yirong and others.

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi didn't seem to hear the conversation between the two, his eyes kept drifting everywhere, and he praised the house of Liufu again and again, and it could be seen that the people who took care of it were very attentive.

Steward Pang said that he was taking care of the house, and the subordinates were very obedient and capable, and there was nothing to worry about him.

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi said that he also wanted a capable official like Steward Pang, and then said that he saw that Steward Pang and Liu Jingshan seemed to have a very close relationship, like father and son, which was very enviable.

Steward Pang showed a loving expression on his face, and said that he used to serve Master Liu, and later came to serve by the side of Young Master Liu Jingshan.

When Liu Jingshan won the examination a few years ago, he always followed and served, and his feelings were naturally kinder.

When Steward Pang talked about Liu Jingshan, his eyes were full of love, as if he was talking about his own child.

Han Xiangzi, a green swordsman with crooked eyebrows and eyes, the feelings between Taoists and people are mutual, thinking that Steward Pang did not marry a wife and have children, and dedicated his whole life to Liu Jingshan and Liu Fu.

When Steward Pang heard this, he didn't speak, and a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes.

But then, he nodded with a smile: "What Shaoxia said is that my master is kind and benevolent, and he will not treat me badly as an old man." ”

Mu Yirong listened to Steward Pang's words of lack of confidence in his ears, stared at Steward Pang's rickety figure, and couldn't speak for a long time.

He seemed to have caught something in his head, but it was like a fog that he could see, but he couldn't grasp it.

At dinner, Steward Pang was in a good mood, poured a glass of wine, and saluted Mu Yirong and Seocho, as well as the green swordsman Han Xiangzi.

It is really a privilege and honor for him to be able to get acquainted with the first detective in Shangjing, the first female officer in Yan Zhou, and the green swordsman who is one of the four great swordsmen in the rivers and lakes.

Steward Pang's toast, cup after cup, Mu Yirong saw that his cheeks were red and his eyes were foggy, so he advised him to drink less and take care of his body.

Steward Pang waved his hand and said that he was happy today, which reminded him of the first time Liu Jingshan stole wine for Liu Jingshan when he was a child.

At that time, Liu Jingshan was thirteen or fourteen years old, and his temperament was a little awkward, he didn't like to talk to people, and he was not close to anyone.

At that time, Liu Jingshan had to taste the taste of wine, so Steward Pang went to the kitchen and stole a pot of wine for him.

Liu Jingshan took a sip, and he stuck out his tongue so spicy, and asked why adults poured this into their mouths every day when this was something worse than horse urine?

Steward Pang was amused to laugh at the time, saying that when Liu Jingshan grows up, he will understand the beauty of wine, and the taste is self-evident!

After that, Liu Jingshan understood the taste of wine, and often sat down with Steward Pang to drink a pot of wine.

When Liu Jingshan was drinking, he liked to talk to Steward Pang about his heart, his ideals and ambitions, and his imagination for the future.

Occasionally, Liu Jingshan will also use alcohol to go crazy and play a temper.

But no matter whether it is good or bad, Steward Pang comforts and inspires Liu Jingshan with a tolerant heart.

Steward Pang recalled a lot of past events with Liu Jingshan, bit by bit, converging into a river, listening to the green swordsman Han Xiangzi was very moved, and heard Ruicao yawn again and again.

Mu Yirong didn't say a word, there was a bright spot flashing in his eyes, and finally flashed out of his eyes, leaving only a dark eye.

Butler Pang, who had drunk too much, was helped back to his room to rest, his room was in the front yard, facing the door of the janitor's room, and he didn't walk a few steps to arrive.

Mu Yirong stood at the door, watching his subordinates help Steward Pang, staggering and slowly through one rain curtain after another, and returning to his room.

After a while, the subordinate walked out, closed the door of Steward Pang's house, and then saluted Mu Yirong and the others and left.

Mu Yirong stood quietly at the spacious door of the hall like this, staring at the closed door of Steward Pang for a long time, until the candles in Steward Pang's house burned out and went out, he turned to Seocho and said, "Let's go, let's go back and rest!"

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi followed Mu Yirong's side, and still couldn't help but sigh that Steward Pang and Liu Jingshan were like father and son, which was enviable.

Like him, he lost his parents since he was a child, wandered outside, and completely failed to experience this kind of parents or elders, love and affection for his children and the children in the clan, which has always been the first regret of his life.

Mu Yirong thought that the green swordsman Han Xiangzi felt very regretful and disappointed because the elm monster was not as beautiful and moving as he imagined, and said to the green swordsman Han Xiangzi: "You really have a lot of regrets!"

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi smiled and asked Mu Yirong if he was ridiculing him, he didn't lie, he did feel very sorry because he couldn't feel the love of his parents.

"You can recognize a godfather and godmother. ”

Seocho, who was always in the silence for a long time and didn't let go of a shot, gave the green swordsman Han Xiangzi an idea.

Just like Liu Jingshan, recognize a godfather and godmother, and change your life from then on. ”

When Mu Yirong heard this, he suddenly stopped: "The news of the young man is really well-informed!"

"Walking the rivers and lakes, these gossip news is naturally heard from time to time. ”

Mu Yirong didn't speak again, and walked towards the small courtyard that Steward Pang had prepared for him earlier, only to see that the green swordsman Han Xiangzi had been following him.

"Shaoxia, it's so late, aren't you going to rest?"

The green swordsman Han Xiangzi replied with a smile: "Brother Yirong doesn't know, Liu Mansion doesn't have extra houses to entertain guests, so I can only wronged you tonight and squeeze it with me." ”

Seocho heard that the green swordsman Han Xiangzi wanted to sleep in the same room with Mu Yirong, so he said to Mu Yirong: "Tonight, I'll go back to my own room to sleep." ”
