Chapter 5: The Three-Year Covenant

After the ceremony was completed, everyone returned to the main hall and took their seats. After the business is done, everyone is no longer inhibited when they are acquaintances, and while saying congratulations, they are also pulling each other and gossiping.

Liu Yuan got up and pulled Liu Wen beside him, "Come, Dad will take you to meet the elders", and then took Liu Wen to the right hand side, the first person does not need to be introduced, Cheng Shuang Cheng Bailu, the Scholar's Mansion Sacrifice Wine, Liu Yuan's best friend.

Cheng Bailu is also a foreigner, studied in his early years, was very knowledgeable, and was very famous in his hometown. It is said that the imperial court has personally recruited, and has been rejected by Cheng Bailu twice, this does not read the etiquette, pay attention to things but three, he Cheng Bailu is afraid of the third conscription of the imperial court, so he ran to this remote town, which is considered to be "refuge".

Thinking of being a teacher quietly, according to Cheng Bailu's original intention, he didn't even have an idle job of sacrificing wine, and he couldn't stand him Li Feng's soft grinding and hard bubbles, otherwise he Cheng Baishuang would not be able to live in this small Linxia City.

Don't you say that this is sick, how many people have studied for a lifetime, and they may not be able to read a fame, he Cheng Bailu is good, hiding from the great fame like a plague god. It is estimated that Liu Yuan is friendly with him, and there is a big reason because of this. The so-called people in the same way!

Liu Wen respectfully offered a cup of tea to Cheng Fuzi "See Uncle Cheng", Cheng Fuzi took the teacup and took a sip, "Good nephew, study diligently, and ask questions." ”

"Mr. Xie's teachings" Liu Wen changed his words to Mr., but he was delicate. Cheng Bailu smiled and said nothing, the children can be taught. He took off the jade pendant hanging on his waist and handed it to Liu Wen, although Liu Wen did not read, he also knew that the elders did not dare to say goodbye, took it with both hands, and gave Cheng Bailu a salute.

"Come, ask, I've seen your life-saving benefactor, Mr. Qi. When Liu Yuan introduced, he didn't forget to give this Mr. Qi a "you know" look.

Of course he Qi Ji understands, although I saw the injury, I took the bone, and I wrapped the gauze, but the medicine that almost brought back to life was taken out by you Liu Yuan. You don't want to spread the word, and give someone Qi the title of "Qi Divine Doctor", which he recognizes and admits.

Qi Ji, a native of Linxia City, has been practicing medicine for generations, and has a rigorous family style, and it has been nearly 20 years since Qi Ji took over the signboard of Jishitang from his father.

The couplet in front of the door of Jishitang "But so that there is no disease in the world, it is better to call the medicine on the counter to produce dust" He is worthy of it, but all those who come to seek medical treatment, no matter whether they are rich or poor, they will see the disease first, and then talk about the medical expenses and the disease, and even the poor family will give a little after seeing the disease, and there will be no pull-down. Therefore, in Liu Yuan's opinion, the reputation of this "Qi Divine Doctor" is what he deserves, and it is very suitable.

This is also the fundamental reason why Qi Ji can enter his Liu Yuan's eyes.

"Thank you Uncle Qi for saving your life" Liu Wen listened to Liu Yuan's introduction, and bowed his head. Although Qi Ji knows the truth, he still has to help Liu Yuan do enough in this scene. got up and helped Liu up and asked, "My generation of doctors, rescue and support are the foundation, try to report to him, and don't worry about my nephew in the future." Although it was Qi Ji who cooperated with him Liu Yuan to make a play, this remark was Qi Ji's heart, which everyone here knows.

Since you Cheng Bailu has made a good start, then I can't slap my face. Qi Ji took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and took a square brocade box from his arms, I don't know what was inside, it turned out that he had been prepared. Liu Wen took the brocade box and bowed again to express his gratitude.

"I said Doctor Qi, what is in your box, it is hidden and tucked, and he is not generous, he is far worse than my Mr. Cheng!" "I'll know later," Qi Ji snorted.

Everyone made Liu Wen more lively. Next, Liu Yuan took Liu Wen to serve tea to the elders one by one, which was regarded as thanking everyone for coming to watch the ceremony. After Qi Ji, the old blind man who sat down was the fortune teller, the old blind man, and the owner of the bun shop, Zhou Tai and Zhou Er.

On the left-hand side, Li Feng, the city guard, is the leader, and Chongrui in the north city, Wu Menglin in the east city, and Dong Zhao in the south city sit in turn. No more, no less, exactly eight. To say that there are really a lot of people in Linxia County who know Liu Yuan, there may not be many people in his Liu Yuan's eyes, and the whole city, these eight people are considered a figure in Liu Yuan's eyes.

Liu Wen served tea to the elders in turn, and also received the gift of the elders to meet, and as soon as he returned to the original place with Liu Yuan, he heard the old blind man speak: "Peace and security, good luck!" It doesn't matter if he speaks, Liu Wen has stopped for a while, then he can't stop now.

"Good luck, good luck, dad tonight, let's eat chicken tonight?" "Okay, good luck, eat chicken tonight, eat ······chicken tonight!" The crowd followed suit.

It turned out that when Liu Yuan was fighting against thieves a few years ago, he was just in time for the imperial court to urgently collect grain, and everything that could be levied was requisitioned, and even those who could not be requisitioned were also requisitioned.

Liu Yuan can't let the soldiers go hungry when he leads the troops to fight, and the city guard Li Feng blew his beard and stared, but it was useless to argue, there was really no surplus food, who had any way.

The tradition of the army, if you win a battle, you have to be rewarded, what cattle, sheep, pigs, enough. But this time, there is really nothing, and it would be nice to have something to eat.

No matter how much Liu Yuan and Li Feng quarreled, Li Feng couldn't come up with anything that could reward the sergeant. So Liu Yuan waved his hand and paid out of his own pocket, if he couldn't buy cattle, sheep and pigs, he would buy chickens and buy them at a high price.

After buying it, in order to let the soldiers have a bite to eat, Liu Yuan personally cooked, set up a fire, and began to roast chicken, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and even the chicken bones were crispy, so that even the meat and bones could be eaten, without wasting at all.

When eating chicken, I don't know who muttered, "I hope I still have my life after this battle, and I can still eat chicken" Liu Yuan didn't hear clearly, so he shouted, "Who, what are you muttering, be louder!" The little soldier was excited, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's good luck, eat chicken tonight", and the whole camp burst into laughter. After the soldiers ate Liu Yuan's chicken, they worked hard to exterminate the thieves.

Since then, this sentence has been used as a saying that the Linxia County army won the battle, and even the military supplies have been changed, there are no cattle, sheep and pigs, chickens can not be without, and they must be alive, and we will roast them ourselves.

"You little rabbit cub, okay, good luck, eat chicken tonight" Liu Yuan is going to cook in person again.

The happy times are always short-lived, and the adults have eaten no less chickens and drunk no less wine, and they have all dispersed at this time. Liu Wen lay on the bed, thinking about all kinds of things for days, and fell asleep, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth. What awaits him after today?

"Brother, have you gotten up?" Why is Liu Wen so polite today, this is very unacceptable. Liu Wen opened the door and saw Liu Wen with a cheap face, and immediately understood what was going on.

When I received the gift yesterday, I thought that he Liu Wen would have such a show, and Liu Wen didn't raise his eyelids much when he gave the meeting gift from the other elders, at most he teased him. But when he saw Dong Nancheng and Dong Zhao untie the sword at his waist, his eyes were green, and even the old blind man could smell Liu Wen's rare energy.

The sword body is three feet three inches long, and it is contained in the carved wooden sheath, in fact, I can't see anything, but he Liu Wen is good at it. Not to mention a genuine short sword, even if you sharpen a bamboo knife or bamboo sword with a bamboo chip, Liu Wen can also regard it as a treasure.

Liu Wen has been getting along with Liu Wen day and night for more than two months, and the long-lost child's heart has also rekindled, after all, he is still a child. So Liu Wen pretended to be stupid and stunned, and insisted on not mentioning the short sword.

Liu Wen didn't need to let it, and began to look around when he entered the house. Liu Wen didn't say anything, standing at the door and watching Liu Wen look around the room. Liu Wen didn't find the short sword, and was a little anxious, "Hurry up, hurry up, show me." ”

"What are you going to see", Liu Wen seemed to be smiling, but he couldn't help it.

"What are you talking about, short sword?"

Liu Wen no longer teased the younger brother he had just picked up, and reached out to throw the short sword to Liu Wen from his hand behind his back.

Liu Wen drew his sword out of its sheath, played a few times, and put the short sword horizontally in front of his eyes, and the eye couldn't be pulled out. "What a sword, what a sword, oops, what a ······"

Liu Wen couldn't help but laugh when he looked so cheap, Liu Wen didn't return the sword, nor did he say he wanted it, just muttered there, "Good sword." ”

"Okay, I'll look at it, I can pass it on to my son and grandson in the future, and make it a family heirloom. Liu Wen deliberately teased this cheap brother.

When Liu Wen heard this, his face turned blue, big brother, I have been here for a long time, weren't you very smart yesterday, today your brain is kicked by the donkey, or let the door panel clamp---- why don't you open your mind.

Liu Wen was almost amused, and he was no longer embarrassed by this cheap brother. "Take it if you like. ”

"A word is a certainty, no remorse, hahaha······" Liu Wen waited for this sentence to wait for a second like a year. Hearing Liu Wen loosen his mouth, the back of his head went away. As he spoke, he ran out, probably because he was afraid that his father would see it.

"By the way, my mother asked me to call you for breakfast. ”

Liu Wen looked at this younger brother who was a head taller than him, but there was a trace of doting in his eyes that did not match his age.

When he came to the front hall, Liu Wen had already hidden the short sword back in his room, and was sitting upright at the table at this time, still unable to hide the smile on his face. Mrs. Liu has also taken her seat.

"Mother"

"Hey, come and sit," Mrs. Liu beckoned for Liu Wen to sit beside her.

While talking, Liu Yuan also came in from outside, and the family had breakfast together, enjoying themselves.

"It's so good" Liu Wen was immersed in the happiness he had not seen for a long time.

"Wen'er, how about the short sword that your Uncle Dong gave your brother yesterday?"

"Good"

"Do you like it?"

"I like it!"

"Are you hiding?"

"Well, hide it····· No... Didn't hide it well."

"Poof!" Liu Wen was amused by this conversation, and the mouthful of porridge that was amused by this conversation was not eaten well, and it all squirted out of his nose.

When Liu Wen saw Liu Wen like this, he didn't care about the secret leakage, so he started laughing at the top of his throat, which was called an unscrupulous.

Mrs. Liu also covered her mouth and smiled.

Liu Yuan didn't hide it either, and smiled heartily.

Liu Wen hurriedly went out and washed his face. When he came back, Liu Wen was almost smiling, and his subordinates also changed the porridge for Liu Wen.

When Liu Wen sat down again, he saw Liu Wen is hard smile, and at this time Liu Yuan cleared his throat, "Okay, don't laugh, let's get down to business." ”

Liu Wen felt a little weak in his heart, afraid that his father would take back the sword.

"Wen'er, my father knows that you have been fond of martial arts since you were a child, and your father will not stop you in the future, and you will keep the sword that your brother gave you. But ······"

Liu Wen's heart that he had just put down was lifted again, and he thought, "My dear father, can you not breathe without breathing, can you not have but." ”

"But you can't take it out of the house, and you can't hurt anyone. ”

"No problem, Dad, I promise not to hurt anyone, I will listen to Dad. Liu Wen's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"In addition, after three years, my father will send you to practice martial arts, and during these three years, you can study hard at home with peace of mind. ”

Liu Wen almost thought that he had heard it wrong, since he could remember, his father had opposed him to practicing martial arts, what is the matter today, the sun is coming out of the west? Let the sword be matched, and let him practice martial arts, Liu Wen's brain was a little short circuit for a while, and he forgot to be happy.

"Ask, it's okay if you're injured, from tomorrow onwards, let's go with Wen'er to study with your Uncle Cheng. ”

"It's all up to my father!"

After this small joke in the middle, the family had a breakfast of harmony and beauty, which lasted for three years, but only for three years.
