The population of Lijia Village is not large, and the houses are not redundant, but fortunately, there are still a few vacant rooms in the house of Village Chief Li, which can be used by Xu Zhaonan and a few people to live temporarily.

It's not a part of looting people's fat and ointment, this dilapidated small village, I can't think of anything valuable.

The poorer the village, the more children were born, and the village chief Li's family originally had a large population, so in order to settle the children, they built a few more houses.

During the conversation, it was learned that when Village Chief Li's wife was still alive, he added four children to the old Li family, including two sons and two daughters.

The two sons joined the army with a small and small point, and guarded the border pass for Dongsheng not far away, although it was closer to home, but after all, it was a person in the army, and it was rare to go back to home in the camp all year round, and the eldest son learned some skills in the city dozens of miles away from Lijia Village, and married a wife and had children in the city by the way, and settled down, and did not come back often.

The remaining two daughters, the eldest sister married into the city, lived with her husband's family, and only left an unmarried little sister to serve the old man at home, after the children left, the house was empty, the old man often looked at the empty house, and the loss in his heart was inevitable.

The little sister of the Li family is named Li Xiuxiu, as her name suggests, she is a very handsome girl, but her personality is a little introverted, and when she sees a guest, her cheeks are red before she says a few words.

However, I heard the old man say that Xiuxiu girl's cooking skills are a must, which is probably one of the reasons why she was left at home to take care of the elderly.

released two white wolves and let them go to the mountains to find food on their own - if they even took care of their food, I was afraid that after Xu Zhaonan and the others left, Village Chief Li's family would inevitably have to live a period of shrinking clothes and dieting.

After Xu Zhaonan explained, he looked at the figures of the two white wolves running into the mountains and forests gradually blurred, and then he smelled the smell of rice and turned back to the house.

Gu Sihai took a few wine bags from the carriage and put them on the table, opened the stopper and handed one to Village Chief Li.

Gu Sihai smiled heroically: "If the elder brother says that this is a side dish, then I will just have a pot of thin wine in my hand, such a match, a good match!"

Village Chief Li couldn't resist Gu Sihai, and the wine worm in his stomach was indeed attracted by such a fragrance, so he accepted it apologetically.

Another point worth mentioning is that after the Xiuxiu girl brought the food to the table, Village Chief Li asked her to run to the kitchen to eat.

In the days of Yaoshan, these rules are not talked about.

Xu Zhaonan didn't have this kind of deep-rooted thinking in his heart, so he stopped him: "The Xiuxiu girl has been busy for me for a long time, how can there be a reason for the guests to eat and let the host's family go out, and we can't eat so many meals, so it's better to invite the Xiuxiu girl to eat together." ”

Miss Xiuxiu was really shy now, her hands were stirred together, she pulled her waist tightly in front of her, looked down at her father, and didn't stay or stay.

When Village Chief Li heard Xu Zhaonan say this, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he looked at the two of them and said, "Then according to what Xu Gongzi said, you can sit down and eat together." ”

The dining table of Village Chief Li's house was originally a quartet, and the top was naturally sitting in the master's house, Gu Sihai couldn't shirk it, so he had to sit on the left side of the old man's house by Bai Chujian, and after the two of them sat down, Bai Chujian sat down on the right side, leaving only a position for Xu Zhaonan, who sent the two wolves out of the village.

If Miss Xiuxiu wanted to be in place, she naturally didn't dare to sit at the top with the old man, and there were already people sitting on both sides, so she had to sit at the bottom with a red face - next to Xu Zhaonan.

In this regard, Bai Chujian glanced at Xu Zhaonan lightly, and saw his hairs stand on end.

"Ahem......"

Gu Sihai coughed lightly, filled the wine glass in front of him for the old man, and said with a smile: "Old brother, let's drink one first?"

"Hahahaha!"

Village Chief Li smelled the intoxicating mellow fragrance in the cup and said with a smile: "Then drink one first!"

The old man was old, and he didn't dare to drink it all like Gu Sihai, so he just took a sip, squinted his eyes and savored for a moment, and suddenly saw everyone in the room looking at him, so he smiled: "Everyone, please move the chopsticks." ”

During the banquet, when Xu Zhaonan was struggling to fill his stomach, Leng Buding stretched out a pair of chopsticks with slices of meat and put them in his bowl, Xu Zhaonan was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw Miss Xiuxiu blushing and saying: "Xu Gongzi, you taste." ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Xu Zhaonan thanked him and continued to work hard, not daring to shift his gaze to the left, where Bai Chujian, who was sitting and chewing slowly.

I don't know why, after a meal, Miss Xiuxiu seemed to be afraid of starving Xu Zhaonan, and frequently served him vegetables, but after Xu Zhaonan thanked him sullenly, he didn't dare to raise his head.

Although Village Chief Li has good concentration, it is inevitable that he is still greedy for some cups, the old man is not strong enough to drink, and he is already drunk as soon as he finishes eating, and his body is shaky, and the culprit Gu Sihai has to help the old man back to the house, and then go back to the house to rest.

When Miss Xiuxiu finished cleaning up the mess, she made three cups of tea that Xu Zhaonan took from the carriage.

The three of them sat outside and looked at the peaceful night sky.

The weather is worse tonight, the stars are obscured by dark clouds, and the bright moon that was still hanging high in the sky yesterday is gone, and the courtyard is not very bright.

"Brother Xu, Sister Bai, I see that you all carry long swords, are you all people who practice martial arts?"

Xu is kung fu for a meal and got acquainted with a few people, and Miss Xiuxiu no longer had the shy appearance she had at the beginning, and took the initiative to turn Xu Gongzi into Brother Xu.

Xu Zhaonan held the teacup in his hand, nodded and smiled: "Well, I learned some martial arts." ”

"You must all be amazing!"

The stars in Xiuxiu's eyes seemed to be a little brighter than those in the sky, and she said excitedly: "I heard that when my eldest brother came back occasionally, there are many martial arts practitioners like you in the city, and they look amazing. ”

Xu Zhaonan suddenly remembered that he used to be like this, envious of those "masters" in the city, and hoped that one day he would be as high as them, and now, it can be regarded as realized, no, not only realized, but even more victorious, Xu Zhaonan turned his head to look at Bai Chujian, and smiled slightly.

Bai Chujian felt his gaze, his cold eyes flashed a hint of softness, and he said softly: "We, after all, are not some powerful people. ”

The simple-minded Xiuxiu girl didn't understand the meaning of Bai Chujian's words, she only thought that she was humble, and she didn't fight, and a pair of bright eyes looked at the strange long sword on Xu Zhaonan's back, and said tentatively: "Brother Xu, is this sword on your back? ”

Xu Zhaonan took off the affection and put it on his lap to let the little girl see it more clearly, but he didn't hand it to her, the sword was cold, and ordinary people who didn't have internal strength would hurt it if they touched it, but fortunately, the Xiuxiu girl couldn't move an inch, just stared at the sapphire that shimmered at the end of the hilt, and praised: "What a beautiful sword!"

Is it just pretty?

Xu Zhaonan couldn't help but wonder, this sharp and unparalleled sword, if placed in the rivers and lakes, it can cause an uproar in an instant, in the eyes of a simple little girl, it is just beautiful.

Miss Xiuxiu looked stunned and muttered, "It's so good." ”

Xu Zhaonan was puzzled and asked, "What?"

I don't know what I thought, but the Xiuxiu girl who came back to her senses blushed, lowered her head and said softly: "I mean, it's good to be able to walk the rivers and lakes like Brother Xu and Sister Bai." ”

What young man doesn't love the rivers and lakes? This Xiuxiu girl, who looks soft and weak, is not exempt from vulgarity.

Bai Chujian heard this, and said lightly on the side: "What's so good about walking the rivers and lakes." ”

"Yes, what's so good in the rivers and lakes. ”

Xu Zhaonan said with a smile: "I, when I first saw the 'rivers and lakes', there was blood all over the ground, and there were people rolling around, Uncle Gu taught me, this is the rivers and lakes, I will kill you today, and you will kill my rivers and lakes tomorrow...... Jianghu Erlang Jianghu died, but that's about it. ”

"Ahh

Like many young men and girls in this world who are not deeply involved in the world and look forward to the beauty of the rivers and lakes, Xiuxiu girl Xu has never thought about what the real rivers and lakes are, and when she heard Xu Zhaonan say that it was full of blood, she couldn't help but have a white face.

Seeing that this simple little girl was frightened, Bai Chu glanced at Xu Zhaonan and said lightly: "There are not only fights in the rivers and lakes, but also many interesting things, but most of the people in the rivers and lakes do not end well...... It's not as good as you to live a dull life, which is the most enviable. ”

After all, Miss Xiuxiu didn't understand the meaning of Bai Chujian's words, but when this extremely beautiful Sister Bai was comforting herself, she smiled at her gratefully, and said innocently: "Adults say that God has eyes, and people as kind as Sister Bai and Brother Xu will definitely be rewarded for their kindness." ”

"Good people have good rewards......"

Bai Chujian chewed this sentence silently, but was amused by the little girl who didn't have much scheming, and that smile was as straight as a spring breeze blowing willows, refreshing people's hearts.

"Sister Bai, so beautiful......"

Together with the girl Xiuxiu who was a woman, she was stunned, not to mention Xu Zhaonan, who was always secretly staring at her senior sister on the side.

The dull atmosphere of the courtyard was softened a lot by Bai Chujian's smile, and the three of them no longer mentioned the depressing topic, but just chatted about some interesting stories and teased the little girl.

In fact, it is said that it is an anecdote about the rivers and lakes, most of them are jokes from the book, and the experience of the rivers and lakes of the two people who have lived in the mountains for a long time is not much more than Li Xiuxiu, who grew up in the village since childhood, but where can the Xiuxiu girl distinguish between the true and the false, just when she hears the interesting, she makes a silver bell laugh, and sometimes the laughter is louder, waking up the dog next door, attracting a few dog barks with the middle-aged woman's scolding.

It adds a bit of interest to the silent night.

The three of them chatted for a while, and two white figures rushed in from outside the village, but they were the two white wolves who were rushed by Xu Zhaonan to the barren mountain to solve them by themselves at night.

When the two wolves entered the courtyard of the village chief's house, it was just Xiaobai, who had not been seen for two hours, stood up as if he had been absent for a long time, lying on Xu Zhaonan's body and licking his face, and the residual smell of blood in his mouth made people want to gag.

Relatively speaking, Yixue was much more honest, quietly walked to Bai Chujian's side, rubbed his head against his master, and glanced at a coquettish wolf on the side with contempt.

Miss Xiuxiu was surprised by the huge size of the two white wolves, but after all, they were people who lived on the side of the mountain, and they had seen a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards in the past, so they would not be frightened.

Bai Chujian nodded and said, "Naturally." ”

After that, he stroked Yixue's snow-white head with his bare hands, and let it lie quietly so as not to hurt the little girl, and then his eyes motioned for Li Xiuxiu to come in.

Miss Xiuxiu's excited hands trembled a little, but in the end, curiosity overcame fear, and her hands gently rested on Yixue's body, feeling the fluffy touch, with a satisfied look.

Finally holding down Xiao Bai's strange wolf kiss here, Xu Zhaonan changed his breath of fresh air to the empty space, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Bai's towering ears, and then, the expression on his face was closed, and his eyes were closed.

In the distance, there seemed to be a rumbling sound, like a galloping horse.
