Huangni Lane is really long, there are nearly 1,000 households, the houses are very old, blue bricks and black tiles, although the alley is lively, but in the whole Yizhou City, it seems to be very quiet.

There is a spacious courtyard in the middle of the alley, which is a terra nullius, so there are many stalls and children playing around. Walk around two large trees.

Those were two very old trees, no one even knows how many years they had survived, and they were the two oldest and most famous trees in the entire alley.

One is the fire mulberry, and the other is the green locust.

And this season, it is the flowering season, the mulberry tree is in full bloom with fiery red mulberry flowers, and the branches and leaves of the locust tree are more luxuriant, which is dotted with clusters of white locust flowers.

But both are fragrant, which makes the area smell very good.

The two trees were covered with strips of red cloth with the names of the people who lived in Yellow Muddy Lane and some fields of prayer written on them.

The people of Huangni Lane. These two trees are regarded as symbols and mascots of the alley, and they are even rumored to have spirituality. Therefore, every year, people come here to hang new red cloth strips on the trees to pray. Therefore, in this ownerless courtyard, there is a stall specializing in selling red cloth strips.

The stall has been around for a long time, and the residents have forgotten what time it was, but the stall owner is a man who seems to be about forty years old, with a stubble on his face, but he is a very good person, and his relationship with the residents is also very good.

People living in Huangni Lane call the stall owner who sells strips of red cloth for writing prayers Lao Lu.

In fact, his name is Lu Yi. I lived in a small hut next to the courtyard for many years. And he is also a scholar, with two taels of literature and ink in his chest, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and often plays chess in this courtyard with those old men in the alley and making a pot of tea in his spare time.

The children in the alley also like to come here to play, and occasionally tease Lu Yi.

Over time, the stall owner Lu Yi has become the guardian of these two trees in the eyes of the residents of the alley.

This Lu Yi is a friend Mu Li is going to visit this time. He and Chu Chu often came here before, and he also hung red cloth strips on the trees, and in addition, he would talk about scriptures and drink a pot of tea with Lu Yi.

Lu Yi occasionally told Mu Li about the four disciplines of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Mu Li benefited a lot from it.

At present, Mrs. Luoyang is a famous pianist in Yizhou City, good at playing the piano, Mu Li learned some piano knowledge from Lu Yi, and was praised by his mother! Mu Li also found that Lu Yi's knowledge is indeed profound.

At this moment, Lu Yi is playing a game of chess with an old man, his chess skills are very superb, and he is famous in Huangni Lane, so many old men came to teach, but whether it is chess or Go, they can't fight with him and defeat him.

Only the simplest backgammon can be tried.

At this time, a middle-aged man's voice sounded, disturbing the chess interest of the two.

"Lao Lu, you have a business!"

When Lu Yi heard this, he had to get up and say sorry, then understood the game and walked back to his stall. When he looked up, he saw that the branches and leaves of the two trees were swaying in the wind, and the fragrance of the flowers was very strong.

Lu Yi's face changed slightly, and he looked at the guest in front of his stall. It is the two daughters of Mu Li and Chu Chu Qinghe.

"Lao Lu, long time no see!" Mu Li sighed, opened his arms, and walked towards Lu Yi. Chu Chu was also very happy to see this old friend who had a good relationship with Gongzi again.

"I've become a martial artist!" Lu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, the trip to southern Xinjiang encountered a big opportunity!" Mu Li returned, but he didn't realize it, and Lu Yi could see at a glance that he had become a martial artist.

"Oh, what a chance could it be?"

"It's a long story. I haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, should you make a pot of tea first?" Mu Li smiled.

The two finally embraced each other, and then returned to Lu Yi's stall. When he saw Chu Chu and Qinghe's two daughters, his expressions were imperceptible, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Chu Chu girl, I haven't seen you for a long time." After speaking, he pointed to Qinghe again: "Who is this?"

"Her name is Qinghe, a friend I met during my trip to southern Xinjiang, this is Lu Yi, a friend of mine. Mu Li introduced the two to each other.

"Hello Miss Qinghe!" Lu Yi stared at Qing He and nodded to say hello.

Qinghe also responded: "Hello Mr. Lu!" In his heart, he secretly sighed that this guy was actually friends with people of this age.

Then, Lu Yi made a pot of tea, took out a standing wooden table, sat down with Mu Li and the three of them, and chatted.

"Lao Lu, your table is old, it's time to slow down, I'll go back to the Mufu and bring you one. Mu Li held the teacup in his hand and stared at the old wooden table.

"Haha, no, this table looks worn, but it's actually very sturdy and can be used for many years. Lu Yi said with a smile.

"That's it. "Shepherd is not forced. Lao Lu is a wonderful person, he knows.

"Haha, I see that your temperament is now more than before, and there is actually a kind of heroic righteousness all over your body, which is amazing!" Lu Yi said again.

"Haha, Lao Lu, your vision is still so sharp, in a word. Mu Li smiled. The second daughter only felt that Gongzi Muli was becoming more and more improper.

So Mu Li slowly told Lu Yi what happened in the Zuimenglou in Southern Xinjiang to Lu Yi, Cen Fuzi, Qi Ge Lichuan, and Lu Yi, expressing their gratitude and yearning for those three people.

Lu Yi listened very seriously, and only sighed: "It's really a god." A chessboard appeared in his mind, and there were thirteen chess pieces in the four realms of Kyushu in the Great Martial Kingdom. It is beginning to slowly connect and form a great trend.

Huangni Lane in Yizhou, Drunken Dream Building in Southern Xinjiang, and Zhige Ju in Middle Earth......

"Lao Lu, we want to hang a red cloth!" At this time, Chu Chu opened his mouth to say, don't wait, the two of them will forget about business.

"Oh yes, forget about business!" Lu Yi nodded when he heard this, got up and went to the stall next to him to get a strip of red cloth. Mu Li also felt Chu Chu and Qing He's gaze, only to realize that Fang Cai had said a little too much and ignored the second daughter.

Maybe this is because he and Lao Lu haven't seen each other for a long time.

After a while, Lu Yi brought three red cloths, a pair of pen and ink, put them on the table, and said, "In previous years, you two prayed for family happiness, good food and drink, and increased knowledge. So what do you want to pray for this year?"

"This year's wish is very mysterious and will not be told to Lao Lu. Mu Li smiled. Chu Chu also nodded in agreement.

"You kid, you're still making a mystery. Lu Yi shook his head and smiled. "In that case, then I won't read it, and you can hang it up after you finish writing it yourself. ”

"How much?" asked Mu Li, although the relationship between the two was good, he would always pay, after all, this was Lao Lu's livelihood. You can't be squeezed by him. And the strips of red cloth are not expensive, especially for him.

"The old rule, a red cloth for three cents, three today, plus this bit of pen and ink, charge you ten cents, not sloppy. Lu Yi smiled.

"Don't be sloppy!" Mu Li nodded, took out ten cents from his arms, and handed it to Lu Yi. Then Lu Yi walked away, and the three of them began to write their wishes.

"What is Childe's wish to write this year?" Chu Chu asked.

"What about you?"

"I won't tell you!"

"Then I won't tell you either!"

The two gods are mysterious and secret, Qinghe also frowned slightly, Xianmen does not have the tradition of praying, she first came to the world, and what she met was Nanyang City to pray for the heavens, but she didn't expect that she would pray today.

But this is a secular dynasty, and when she comes to practice, she has to follow the customs. She looked at Mu Li and Chu Chu, and finally stopped at Mu Li, and after a while, she took the lead in writing and wrote a paragraph. Then he handed over the pen and ink.

"So fast?"

The two of them were startled, and then they also began to write their wishes, Chu Chu finished writing first, and did not let Mu Li see it, and finally Mu Li finished writing, and the three of them walked towards the two ancient trees.

Qing He saw the countless strips of red cloth on the big tree, and she understood that the strip of cloth with her wish was hung on these two trees! Her eyes wandered between the fire mulberry and the green locust, and then she walked towards the green locust.

A Qinglian sword qi rushed out, and the red cloth strip wrapped in her hand rushed directly to the top of the green locust tree, and hung the cloth strip on it, and was nailed into it by the sword qi, and it could not be blown by the wind.

Simple and straightforward.

"Alright. Qing He walked over and smiled, but it made Mu Li sigh with a slump on his face: "You are really direct enough." "Don't you see the ladder next to it?

"Or else?" Qinghe responded. That's what her personality is.

“......”

Chu Chu chose a tree that was different from Qinghe, climbed to the top of the fire mulberry tree along the wooden ladder, and tied the red cloth strip firmly to it. Then he walked down slowly.

At this moment, Lu Yi's gaze flashed, and he whispered to himself: "Sang and Huai, cultivating for thousands of years to derive the soul, today is the destiny!"

"I wonder which tree that kid is going to hang on?" He suddenly looked at Mu Li with great interest, and he only thought it was very interesting.

In the end, only Mu Li was left, he looked left and right, looked at the mulberry tree, and then looked at the green locust, I don't know where to hang?

"Childe wants to hang on that tree?" Chu Chu asked, her eyes burning, and her red cloth was hung on the fire mulberry tree.

At this time, Qinghe also cast a questioning look.

Mu Li was in trouble for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly, it was so troublesome to hang a red cloth strip? He stood motionless, he really didn't know which tree to hang on, and which one he felt was wrong...

"Lao Lu, one more strip of cloth, I make two wishes!" Mu Li simply shouted. Just write two and hang one on each tree, which is always right.

"Oh?" Lu Yi is more interested, this kid, is he going to step on two boats and enjoy the blessings of all people?

But he still took another red cloth and laid it on the wooden table. I poured a cup of tea and walked back. Mu Li walked back and gave three more money, and then took pen and ink to write the second wish.

But he has already written enough details about the first article, and he doesn't know what to write about the second article?

After a moment's thought, he went on to write a paragraph. The pen and ink are flying, and the font is vigorous and powerful, comparable to calligraphy. Even Lu Yi was very appreciative of his handwriting, and once said that if he left the Yizhou Chengmu clan in the future and traveled to other places, he might be able to make a living by writing when he had no money to eat.

After a while, the second strip of red cloth had been written, and now Mu Li had nothing to be embarrassed about, so he strode forward, first hanging the first strip of red cloth on the mulberry tree, and then went to the other green locust tree, and hung the second strip of red cloth on the top. and Qinghe's one, echoing from afar.

"Ben Gongzi writes two!" Mu Li looked arrogant and said to the second daughter.

The two daughters both pouted and didn't say much.

Then, they returned to the wooden table, made another pot of tea, invited Lu Yi to drink together, and then chatted again.

When the wind rose, countless strips of cloth on the mulberry and locust flew, and some even began to fall, but the three of them were extremely reliable, especially Qinghe, a sword qi, directly nailed the strip of cloth into the top trunk of the green locust tree, and it would never fall again.

The thousands of strips of red cloth swayed in the wind, quite a kind of joy, red around the fire mulberry and green locust trees, they became more and more vigorous. Even if there is another thousand years, it will still be like this...
