on the ancient road.

The scholar was dressed in a Confucian shirt, with a hosta tied to a scarf on his head, holding a book in his left hand and a reins in his right hand, leading a thin horse and walking on the desolate ancient road.

It is the scholar egret who has ten thousand carp on the island of Asaka Island.

Compared with the previous time when he was painting in the Sanjiang River Basin and trapped Chen Qiaosheng, the scholar Egret at this time is more like a scholar, and this time he went out of the island, not entirely to go to the "grand event" of the immortal town to destroy the town, but more to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

In fact, in his heart, there are many sages and sages who want to say to the whole world.

Don't say such bastard words as everyone expects, but this time Izushima does shoulder the "burden" of the rise of Chaoxia Academy, yes, for him, it is not a heavy responsibility, but a burden.

His mentor, Ouyang Xiaoqiao, the female deputy mountain master of Chaoxia Academy, who had raised a clear stream of prestige, personally told him that this time out of the island, he had to kill a few people, and he had to survive a catastrophe, or rather, it was a chance, and he had never believed in his mentor, so he came out of the island alone and in a boat.

And the first thing he did after leaving the island was to intercept and kill Chen Qiaosheng with Wugong of Hanshan Temple, and the scholar was not guilty at all, he knew very well that he had his own way to go.

The more important reason is that the scholar was born in a poor family, in fact, this time he came to Shenxian Town, which can be regarded as a revisit to his homeland, but he was not half excited, but more of a hometown timidity.

The weeds in the fields had long since withered and yellowed, and there were scattered old farmers picking up ears of wheat in the fields, and scholars wandered thousands of miles, and that year, he sat by the high pile of grass and listened to the woman tell those interesting legends.

In the blink of an eye.

Twenty years, that's it!

Wangxian Town is adjacent to Shenxian Town, separated by a river, and is also a typical Jiangnan water town building, the land of fish and rice, which is one of the richest Qinghe counties in the entire Fengyang County, and the richest town.

The scholar raised his head, just in time to see the huge 'Wangxian Town' street sign, his heart was full of mixed feelings, leading the thin horse, and walked into the town.

Twenty years in the blink of an eye.

The town has changed greatly, the shop is neatly planned, the wine shops are lined up, people come and go, quite lively, the scholar's mood is not very peaceful, walking in the bluestone paved stone street, the cries of shops and groceries, everything in the world, ordinary and precious.

He passed by Wangxian Tower, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

"Uncle Fu, old rules. After the scholar entered the store, he sat down by the window and whispered to the gray-haired old shopkeeper who was holding an abacus in front of the counter.

The moment the old shopkeeper raised his head, he was stunned on the spot, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, a thousand words in his mouth, and many thoughts echoed in his mind, wanting to say hello, but at the moment of speaking, it became: "Bai Fengxiao, you still owe nineteen big money." ”

White phoenix chicks?

The scholar blushed.

Someone at the adjacent table was surprised, and the moment he looked up, he was also stunned, a naked man of the same age as the scholar Egret walked over and looked at the scholar carefully, and finally said uncertainly: "Xiao Fengxiao, you stole it back then... No, you stole the books of the Liang Officer's foreign house, it is said that your legs were broken, many people said that you didn't survive that winter, died in the cold wind, the old shopkeeper still often chattered, you still owe him nineteen big money and haven't paid it back, all these years, where have you gone?"

Even if he can now write and paint Chen Qiaosheng, who is invincible under the immortals, even if he rarely has ten thousand carp to send him off when he leaves the island of Chaoxia Island, even if his teacher Ouyang Xiaoqiao, who is known as the closest Confucian sage to the entire Chaoxia Academy, praises the phoenix chick in the world.

The mood is no longer the down-and-out pedantic and absurd scholar at the beginning, but the scholar who is a white egret and a phoenix chick is still a little embarrassed.

"I don't know, the daughter of Liang Yuanwai's family, has she ever been out of the cabinet?" asked the scholar Egret as if he had great courage.

The man looked strange, but finally laughed out loud and said, "You go home and take a look, don't you know?"

The scholar got up and really left.

The shopkeeper just brought up the wine, it was inferior rice wine mixed with water in the water town of Jiangnan, and a plate of fennel beans, seeing the scholar leaving, the old shopkeeper stretched out his head and shouted: "Hey, Bai Fengxiao, nineteen big money." ”

Then he buried his head and dialed the abacus, and murmured, "I'm afraid I won't come back." ”

"This pedantic scholar is still the same as he was back then, and after all these years outside, I'm afraid he won't be able to mix up any person. ”

"It's just that when he returns to his hometown, he will give us more spices in our leisure life. ”

“......”

The scholar was gone, and he was no longer what he used to be, so he naturally heard the remarks behind these things, smiled slightly, but he didn't care anymore.

He suddenly looked up at this strange and familiar town.

"Nineteen dollars, and I owe it first. ”

The old shopkeeper forgot that when the scholar owed money, he said that in the coming year, not only should he pay back 19 big money, but also give the old shopkeeper a lifetime of glory.

And at this moment, the scholar, looking at this familiar place, regarded the rise of Chaoxia Academy as a 'burden', but suddenly, he regarded protecting the peace of this side as an important responsibility.

......

The small courtyard, or the small courtyard.

The inside of the fence wall is cleaned.

A young girl of about twenty-eight years old was sweeping with a broom, and when the scholar came over, the girl raised her eyes and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

This is a very aura girl.

The wisdom of Zhong Tiandi.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" asked the girl.

"What's your name?" the scholar asked.

The girl was even more puzzled, but she still replied politely: "My name is Xu Nianfeng, nineteen years old. ”

Rumble!

Scholars are like being struck by lightning.

Xu Nianfeng?

Nian Feng!

Yue'er, did you still miss me?

Nineteen?

Scholar Egret's face changed, I have been gone for twenty years, and you are exactly nineteen years old.....?

The girl looked at the scholar's stupid appearance, tilted her head, and was a little confused.

"And what are you doing here?" asked the scholar Egret.

"My mother asked me to clean the yard, saying yes, a negative man named Bai Fengxiao, maybe he will come back, he is a very face-loving, obviously very poor, but a pedantic scholar who is rich and sick, has a habit of cleanliness, when he comes back, looking at the dust in the garden, maybe there are a lot of sour words. Xu Nianfeng said.

The scholar Egret was stunned on the spot, hugged the girl, and her face was already full of tears, blurring her entire face.

"Girl, I'm your father, I... I'm back, in the past 20 years, I have made you two suffer, it's not good for my father, and my father won't let you suffer again in the future. The scholar couldn't stop crying.

"Bang!"

Xu Nianfeng knocked the scholar away with a heavy elbow blow, and the scholar Egret said excitedly: "Girl, I am really your father." ”

The girl was furious and scolded angrily: "I'm still your mother, where did I come from?"

"Like, it's very like, even the temper is very similar to your mother. The scholar still muttered to himself, as if he had lost his mind.

"Are you Bai Fengxiao?" Xu Nianfeng finally realized it.

The scholar cried with joy, his face was full of tears at the moment, but he was smiling, as if he had the whole world.

"Hey, what a poor man. Xu Nianfeng said, walked into the house, took out a bowl of water, took out a dagger, cut his fingers, dripped blood into the bowl, and then handed the dagger to the scholar Egret.

"What to do?" said the scholar Egret in confusion.

"Bloodshed recognizes. Xu Nianfeng said.

The scholar egret trembled and quickly snatched the dagger, slashing his fingers and dripping blood into the bowl.

One second.

One minute.

A quarter of an hour.

The blood in the bowl did not mix.

The scholar was in a hurry, still staring at the porcelain bowl, afraid that he would accidentally miss the moment when the blood melted.

Xu Nianfeng shook his head and patted the scholar's shoulder gently, as if he was a little distressed, but he said truthfully: "My mother said that on the third day after you left, she married my father." ”。

What the?

The scholar's face turned pale instantly, and at this moment, he seemed to have lost the whole world and sat down on the ground.
