All the way in, this village is well organized, the house is not magnificent, mainly black and white, quite a little antique, winding and long-lasting path, paved with a lot of hexagonal stones, the side of the road is a white stone slab covering the mud of the yard, the path leads straight into the corridor of the lobby, they go to the side hall, so after following the path into the corridor, they detour to the left side of the house behind the rockery, enter the side hall, a group of windows are bright and clean, spotless scene. Yan Mubai looked at his clothes, which was quite out of place.

"Go make tea. ”

Qi Lin instructed the female envoy, turned his head to the two masters and apprentices and made a gesture of invitation, because of the master's words just now, Yan Mubai honestly waited until the master sat down before obediently sitting down on the seat next to the master.

"The two of them came from afar, and the hospitality of the village was not considerate. ”

After the two outsiders took their seats, Qi Lin sat down at the end of the opposite side. At this point, the two parties finally have a chance to take a closer look. Qi Lin, dressed in a white plain suit, wide clothes and narrow sleeves, at first glance is a person who practices martial arts, just walked all the way into the hall from the door, with light steps, head up and chest, although the appearance is not outstanding, but a decent temperament that is accessible is eye-catching. Watch his deeds, listen to his words, steady and vigorous, quite a military general.

The master and apprentice looked at others, and they were also looking at them. The master and apprentice are both very tall, some of them are dusty, the clothes on their bodies are very old, and the colors are even a little blurry, but when they walk in from the front of the door, there are many attics in the villa, surrounded by rockeries, and there are groups of domestic servants, but the two of them have no sense of disdain or inferiority, calm and confident, as if these things outside the body are dust.

Master's eyebrows and eyes are soft, as if he is a master outside the world and has a bit of the charm of fairy wind and bones. Although the apprentice has a cheerful personality but is cautious and introspective, he knows the etiquette and keeps his word, his eyes are as pure as the sky in the night, and he is only a little unhappy to be lightly lectured by the master, he seems to be very curious about the tables, chairs and benches in this hall, but he also sits honestly in his seat, and there is no exceedance. Xu is too hard to travel, the master and apprentice are both yellow, emaciated, but in good spirits, after the tea is put on the table, the master and apprentice drink a lot of cups.

"You are Qi Lin, and there are many senior brothers?" Shu Qianheng seemed to have finally drunk enough tea, put down the teacup and asked carefully.

"Master, he is an old man who likes to be quiet, so there are not many disciples under him. There are only six of us. I am the first, followed by the second junior brother Baili Qianchuan, the third junior brother Yan You, and the fifth junior brother Ji Chu. The sixth senior sister is the master's beloved only daughter, the youngest, but kung fu is indeed very true to the master. ”

It can be seen that this senior brother loves his little junior sister very much.

"What about the fourth?" Yan Mubai clung to this sentence and asked, he seemed to be really curious.

"There are no four junior brothers, but there are four junior sisters"

"Oh, hehe, the second brother Gao Yi, actually ignored the world's views and accepted the female apprentice?" Shu Qianheng's face stretched out and smiled freely, and the soup was spreading.

"Yes, the fourth senior sister is an orphan girl raised by the master and the master and the mother, and she is treated as a righteous daughter, and she has performed the master and apprentice ceremony, so she also has a ranking. ”

In this Jianghu, although there are many masters and apprentices of the opposite sex, most of them learn art with the kindness of the family, and their parents are there, and they ask their daughters to practice swordsmanship, which is just a good name. If both parents are dead in the world, taking the opposite sex as an apprentice as a teacher, it will inevitably invite gossip. It can be seen that Su Qingyuan is disdainful of these false courtesies, and he does his own thing.

"We came to the door temporarily, and Guizhuang could not confirm the identity of my master and apprentice, but still treated each other politely, politely and respectfully, Guizhuang was united in one heart, and the unity of knowledge and knowledge was really the atmosphere of a gentleman's door. ”

"Where, the master has been open-minded all his life, knows good deeds and does good deeds, and has shown many of my senior brothers and sisters and the people in this village, so that we must be grateful for the grace of the heavens, abide by the courtesy of a gentleman, and do not stop guests. I don't dare to say that I have done it in case of Master and his old man, but I must be vigilant day and night, and try not to disgrace his old man. The words are sincere, and the master of this Zhuangzi must be noble and clean, which is very extraordinary.

"Second brother is going out on important business?" Shu Qianheng frowned and looked out of the door slightly, thinking that he hadn't seen him for many years, he would be very anxious.

"Today is the birthday of the little junior sister, and the master went out early in the morning to prepare for the birthday ceremony, hehe. Qi Lin replied happily.

"Hehe, yes, it seems that my master and apprentice came very coincidentally, but it was too rude not to prepare a birthday ceremony. I'll make it up later. ”

"Where, where, the little sister's little birthday is really not suitable for the distinguished guests to break the bank, and it is a great honor for the people of the village to visit the humble house today. I don't mind if I want to come to my sister. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps outside the door and a small sound of conversation and inquiry, and in a moment, Su Qingyuan walked into the side hall, the two friends had not seen each other for many years, their expressions were slightly surprised, and even their movements were a few beats slower, as if they were a little unsure of each other's appearance, and then grabbed each other's hands tightly, as if they were about to cry. The old rain reunites, and the joy overflows.

"Second brother, after nearly twenty years of separation, I finally see you again, is everything okay?" Shu Qianheng asked as he sat down.

Su Qingyuan didn't seem to have come out of the shock at this moment, just nodded vigorously, and then remembered to answer, "Everything is fine, everything is fine, what about you, big brother?"

"It's fine. In the past twenty years, I have been free, unrestrained, and I have lived very freely, I don't know how much more free than you, the big owner, hahaha" Shu Qianheng laughed heartily.

Yan Mubai looked at the master at this moment, it seemed that he was smiling so happily for the first time in so many years, this kind of soothing and free was very different from being in Sanssouci Island, which made people unable to really worry-free. The two reunited after a long absence, obviously there were a bunch of words to say, just at this time, Yan Mubai was invited by Qi Lin to go out to visit the garden, and he said in his heart: "This senior brother is very discerning. ”

"This garden is quite big, a total of three courtyards, each courtyard houses are many, the outer courtyard is protected by white walls, the green willows hang around, there are verandahs on all sides, the courtyard is connected with the road, the mountains and rockeries are dotted, the flowing water is continuous in all seasons, and there is a very large garden, there are full of grapevines and roses in it, all around are paved with white stone roads, and it is a good place to practice martial arts and study. Qi Lin walked all the way and introduced all the way. Because the identities of the two are confirmed, they are much more friendly than the estrangement and politeness just now.

"I just asked someone to clean up, wait for the young man to go to the guest room to rest, when the lamp is in hand, I will invite the young man to dinner. The title has also changed from a distinguished guest to a young man. This Qi Lin is really thoughtful, Yan Mubai followed Qi Lin all the way to the guest room, said goodbye, and then turned around and planned to rest in the room.

"By the way, after dinner, you can go to the street, today is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the evening, the market will have a cold festival activity, and it will be very lively. ”

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll definitely go. ”
