The girl listened to a few words and had roughly guessed which commentary Uncle Li was talking about.

The master of the story is none other than the sword genius who slashed out the Valley of Broken Love with a sword near Divine Tree City thousands of years ago!

Listening to the legend in Uncle Li's mouth, the girl suddenly envied the woman who died because of the madness.

She looked at Uncle Li's colorful expression in the center of the crowd in a distracted manner, and whispered, "Will I meet someone who is willing to cut my hair and become a monk for me?"

As soon as the words came out, the girl in white realized that she had lost her words, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, looked at the surrounding crowd with a confused expression, and saw that no one noticed her, so she walked away from the teahouse with a red face.

————

Ye Feng and the three of them went out of the mountain road to discuss, and decided to find a place to rest for one night before making plans.

found an inn to stay, and early the next morning, Ye Feng left Fan Zhe to protect Ma Lao at the inn, and went to a nearby village alone to buy some wound medicine and dry food and came back.

Let the innkeeper help hire a carriage, and the old and young drove along the main road with the groom to the Thousand Caves City.

Because Ma Lao was old and weak, he couldn't afford long-distance bumps, so the group stopped and stopped, and it took ten years to reach the gate of Thousand Caves City.

Helping Ma Lao out of the car, Ye Feng took out the silver and gave it to the groom, and after seeing the carriage go away, he beckoned Fan Zhe to help Ma Lao and walk towards the city.

After inquiring along the way, Ye Feng and the three of them came to the door of a small pharmacy.

For some reason, there was not even a plaque on the door of this pharmacy, only the word "medicine" was written on a piece of linen, and then someone stuck it on the eaves with a bamboo pole.

If it weren't for the passers-by pointing out Ye Feng and a few others, I was afraid that I would not be able to find this pharmacy if I went around the entire Thousand Cave City.

There was also a notice posted on the door frame of the pharmacy, on which were scribbled a few large characters: "No diagnosis today".

Looking at that strange notice, the young man Ye Feng couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said secretly: "There are still people who do business like this in this world. ”

Retracting his thoughts, Ye Feng turned his head sideways and asked Ma Lao with his eyes, and when he saw the latter nodding with a smile, he stepped into the pharmacy.

The shop was very deserted, and there was not even a sound.

Ye Feng looked around, only to see a middle-aged man in a brown cloth coat with a beard standing in the counter, leaning against the counter at this time and rubbing his eyes, his eyebrows were full of anxiety.

Hearing someone enter the door, the middle-aged man glanced up at Ye Feng, waved his hand impatiently and said, "I don't see a doctor today, I'm not in the mood." After saying that, he continued to lie down in front of the counter, rubbing his temples with his hands, his eyebrows twisted.

The man sighed with a long sigh full of concern, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Ye Feng still standing motionless, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, he pointed at the young man and asked, "What's the matter with you little doll?

"Hahahaha~"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a hearty laugh from outside the door, and then he heard an old voice say with a smile:

"Brother Daoling, after a few years, why is he still so impatient? It's not as calm as a half-grown boy!"

With the words, Ma Lao, who had a slight back on his back, walked into the house with a cane under the support of Fan Zhe.

Shen Daoling couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the old man's voice, turned his head and just saw Ma Lao who had just entered the door, his eyes suddenly widened at the boss, he was stunned for a long time, and stammered: "Ma... Mr. Ma? I've finally got you here!"

Shen Daoling walked around the counter and came to Ma Lao, grabbing the old man's arm with trembling hands, his eyes red.

If it weren't for Ye Feng and Lin Zhe standing aside, I am afraid that Shen Daoling, who is over half a hundred years old, would have already cried out silently.

Ma Lao raised his right hand and patted Shen Daoling gently, and said with a kind smile: "Daoling, those who have half cut into the soil are not afraid of making the younger generations laugh." ”

Ma Lao turned his head to look at Ye Feng and Lin Zhe, and continued to say to Shen Daoling: "Since you don't want to open Zhang Zhen today, is it possible that the three of us will not be able to stand here?"

Shen Daoling's chick nodded again and again as if pecking rice, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm really confused, how can I be so snub Mr., it's really rude..."

Shen Daoling stomped his feet, grabbed Ma Lao's arm and walked out, "Let's go, go to my small courtyard, let's talk about the old days, Ting'er is also at home, if she sees you coming, she will jump up happily." ”

Ye Feng and Fan Zhe looked at each other and smiled, closed the door of the store together, and trotted towards Ma Lao and the two.

Under the guidance of Shen Daoling, the three of them walked in the direction of Shen Daoling's house, and at the same time learned the general situation of the Thousand Caves City from Shen Daoling's mouth.

Although this thousand-cave city is called a "city", it is actually similar to a slum, with four walls almost collapsing, and the people are even more poor.

Most of the houses in the city are mud and thatched houses, and only a few of the more prosperous places have some double-storey pavilions and larger mansions.

And most of these places are occupied by some Jianghu sects, and some are bought by the more large-scale academies in the city for a lot of money, but these forces are all temporarily organized by some reckless and down-and-out scholars who came here and do not have too thick a foundation.

It is worth mentioning that there are some brothels and gambling halls in the south of the city, although the place is simple, but the income is not bad, some people say that the behind-the-scenes boss of these stores is a bachelor of a big academy, and this person has a good relationship with several sects with more martial artists.

If someone owes money and does not pay it, he will disappear in the Thousand Caves City within three days, as if the world has evaporated, and no one will die.

After understanding the general situation of Thousand Caves City, Ma Lao also told Shen Daoling about the encounters along the way.

Hearing that after Ye Feng killed a monk of the same cultivation with a sword, and then joined forces with Fan Zhe to defeat the three martial artists of the Five Realms of Qi Cultivation, Shen Daoling couldn't help but look at the two teenagers with a thumbs up, and praised the heroes since ancient times!

A few people chatted and laughed all the way, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard in the west of the city.

The small courtyard was fenced off a large piece of land, which contained four yellow mud houses, and the bluestone-paved aisles were reclaimed into vegetable fields on both sides, planted with tender green cucumbers and beans.

There is also a chicken coop made of bamboo strips in front of the fence gate, which has a few hens, which has the taste of a rural farmer, and people can't believe that this is the place where the scholars of the second grade of the Great Song Dynasty once retreated.

Shen Daoling looked confused, raised his hand and pointed to the vegetable field in the small courtyard, and explained to Ma Lao: "Mr. Ma doesn't know, there are very few people in the west of the city, and the land is very fertile, so when I built a house, I circled more land to grow some vegetables, first, I can save some silver taels for buying vegetables, and secondly, it will always be more delicious to eat my own vegetables." ”

After that, Shen Daoling laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, as if he felt that the former scholar of the Second Rank of the Great Song Dynasty was living in such an embarrassing situation now, and his face was a little unbearable.

Ma Yu waved his hand disappreciatively, clicked the cane in his hand, took a long breath, and sighed with emotion, "Brother Daoling, you don't have to have a knot, this courtyard, a house, and a field are exactly the life I have been looking forward to." ”

The old man's eyes were distracted, as if he had thought of something.

Retracting his thoughts, Ma Lao took the lead in stepping into the small courtyard, looking back and beckoning to Ye Feng and the others, his words were unceremoniously, "Let's go, let's go into the courtyard and have a look." ”

Walking into the small courtyard and looking at the green vegetable fields on both sides, Ye Feng's mood also became relaxed, and he couldn't help but stop, closed his eyes and greedily breathed the air on the edge of the field.

"Oh, here you go. ”

Fan Zhe beside him stabbed Ye Feng with his hand.

Ye Feng opened his eyes and saw Fan Zhe looking nervous and constantly squeezing his eyebrows at him, and looked down suspiciously, only to see that Fan Zhe actually had a tender green gherkins hidden between his cuffs.

Fan Zhe shook the gherkins in his hand, leaned into Ye Feng's ear with a wicked smile, and said, "Try it?"

As he spoke, he quietly pulled another one, hid it in his cuff and ate it by himself.

Ye Feng looked up at the two of them who were talking eloquently while walking slowly, quickly took the gherkins in Fan Zhe's hand, and stuffed them into his mouth.

At this moment, the closed door of the earthen house in the middle of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a cold girl with delicate facial features and a white dress walked out.

The girl glanced at everyone in the courtyard with a pair of beautiful eyes, and when she saw Ma Lao next to Shen Daoling, she was stunned at first, then smiled, lifted her skirt, and ran to Ma Lao with a bright smile, her pretty face was full of surprise, "Grandpa Ma, you are here!"

As she spoke, the girl glanced curiously at the two teenagers behind Ma Lao, and when her eyes met one of the handsome young men, she couldn't help but be stunned for a while, the expression on her pretty face was very complicated, and she couldn't say a word.

One of the two of them was handsome, tall and tall, as if he was nothing, playing with a bone spear, with an indifferent expression.

The other carried a rather large basket, his body was thin, his mouth was full of cucumbers, and a cucumber root was exposed outside his mouth, as if he had been caught as a thief, and looked at the girl pitifully, and his delicate face was red.

"Ahem~"

Ma Lao coughed a few times, and said to the Shen family's father and daughter: "This is Ye Feng, the child of one of my disciples in the Miaoyu Building, and his parents are not around, so he is somewhat stubborn. ”

Ma Lao frowned at Ye Feng, and somewhat blamed Ye Feng for not understanding etiquette, the latter hurriedly swallowed the cucumber in his mouth, and looked at everyone with a dry smile, only to feel that his cheeks were hot and hot.

Shen Daoling can be said to be an old man, seeing this situation, he hurriedly started to save the scene, "Oh, Ye Feng, are you hungry on the road, right? Hurry up and sit in the house for a while, I will let my daughter prepare some food for you." ”

In the evening, after dinner.

The girl Shen Ting packed up the dishes and chopsticks alone and went to the stove room to wash the dishes.

Ma Lao and Shen Daoling sat in the courtyard with a small stool and drank tea, discussing the current evolution of the situation in the Great Song Dynasty.

As for Ye Feng, as soon as he finished eating, he was dragged by Fan Zhe to a bamboo forest behind the small courtyard, and he didn't know what he was doing.
