Chapter 35: A Peasant Family

Chapter 35 The Farmhouse

Chu Yanxi walked to the main gate of the courtyard and knocked lightly on the wooden door, because the man was busy with work, it was the woman who heard the knock first, the woman opened the door, and saw Chu Yanxi dressed like a businessman, so she judged that it was a businessman.

The woman said softly, "I don't know who the son is looking for?"

Chu Yanxi said lightly: "In Xia Chu Yanxi, I want to travel far away, and I want to beg for saliva to drink when I pass here, I don't know if it's convenient?"

The woman said softly: "Of course it's convenient, Master Chu, please come in!"

As soon as he entered the door, the little boy looked at Chu Yanxi blankly, as if he had never seen a stranger, and the man also looked at Chu Yanxi.

Chu Yanxi made a note to the man: "In Xia Chu Yanxi, I want to ask for a glass of water to drink when I pass through here on a long journey......"

The man looked at it, and said with a smile on his honest face: "I see, my name is Liu Zhuang, that is my lady Xiaohui just now, just call me Da Zhuang, Chu Gongzi, please sit down, if there is really no wine and food, coarse tea and light rice are enough." After speaking, the man put down the work in his hand, clapped his hands, wiped his body, and sat on the stone bench, followed by Chu Yanxi slowly sat down.

Xiaohui brought a cup from the wooden house, and said while pouring tea: "Childe, please drink tea, don't be polite." ”

Liu Zhuang also picked up the tea and said enthusiastically: "Young Master Chu, please drink tea! Before the words fell, Xiao Hui got up and took the little boy into the wooden house on the right, it should be the kitchen, Chu Yanxi originally wanted to stop it, remembering her purpose, it would be better to have more time to understand, and it would be easier to do the matter of sending letters, so she didn't stop it.

Chu Yanxi said in a deep voice: "Thank you Brother Liu and sister-in-law for your warm treatment, Chu really doesn't know how to thank ......"

Liu Zhuanghan smiled and said, "Young Master Chu doesn't have to be polite, drink tea and drink tea!" The women and men are all dressed plainly, and they are all ordinary people, but Chu Yanxi yearns for this kind of life very much in her heart.

Chu Yanxi and Liu Zhuang chatted, when asked about the occupation, Chu Yanxi called himself a businessman, Chu Yanxi himself didn't want to hide it, but now he was in danger, he had to be cautious in everything, from chatting with Liu Zhuang, he learned that Liu Zhuang had been collecting firewood for a living, and the firewood he brought back was sent to the city every once in a while for the use of the rich.

Half an hour had passed, and Chu Yanxi thought that it was time to open her mouth to deliver the letter, but when she opened her mouth again, she saw Xiaohui coming out with the food, and the little boy followed closely behind, so Chu Yanxi had to wait.

Chu Yanxi ate some food, and finally mustered up the courage to get up and bow and said, "Chu still has something to plead, Brother Liu and sister-in-law help ......"

Liu Zhuang put down his chopsticks, looked at Chu Yanxi and smiled: "Young Master Chu, please say, as long as Xiaohui and I can do it, we will definitely help." ”

Xiao Hui looked at Liu Zhuang and said softly: "Young Master Chu can't do anything, how can we do it......"

Chu Yanxi said lightly: "Help Chu Mou send a letter to the Wu shopkeeper of Lingyun Building in Jinding Town......" After speaking, Chu Yanxi immediately took out the letter and handed it to Liu Zhuang, Liu Zhuang took the envelope and said with a somewhat surprised look: "Young Master Chu won't be Chu Yanxi, the owner of Lingyun Building, right?" Xiao Hui also looked at Chu Yanxi with some surprise, waiting for Chu Yanxi to reply.

Chu Yanxi smiled bitterly and laughed at herself: "Brother and sister-in-law Liu, you misunderstood, it's just the same sound." ”

Xiao Hui smiled and said: "I don't think so, the lord of Lingyun Mansion is the number one swordsman in the world, fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes, how can you be so gentle and approachable, these rivers and lakes sects fight and kill, never cherish life, we people can't afford to provoke." ”

Chu Yanxi was silent, but Liu Zhuang retorted to Xiao Hui and said: "The people in the rivers and lakes are not necessarily all bad people, how many bullies who oppress the people, they are all heroes of the rivers and lakes who stand out for the people, when I entered the city, I heard that Yuan Gai, the deputy hall master of the second hall of the Xingyi League, was killed by Xie Qinghui of the Diancang faction, alas! It is really evil and evil retribution! There is also Hengshanzhai, but it is a well-known robber and bully, I heard that I bowed to the master of Lingyun Tower, Jian Zun, and I don't know whether it is true or not!"

After Chu Yanxi heard the words, he was still silent, he had mixed feelings, and he couldn't recognize himself clearly.

Xiao Hui got up and smiled and said, "I'll go change the pot of new tea, don't worry, Gongzi Chu, just let Da Zhuang send it, it's not a big deal." ”

Liu Zhuang nodded and said, "I will send the letter to Lingyun Tower tomorrow morning, don't worry, Gongzi Chu!" After a pause, he said: "To be honest, I really hope that you are the number one swordsman in the world, Chu Yanxi, so that my son Liu Ang can learn some swordsmanship and wander the rivers and lakes, what a good thing!"

Chu Yanxi fixed his mind and said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, as long as you and your sister-in-law agree, there will be hope in the future, I heard that next month, Chu Yanxi and the Sword King martial arts competition will be held in Lingyun Tower, when the time comes, people from all the major sects of the Jianghu martial arts will gather, you can find a good sect and a good master......"

Liu Zhuang happily got up and walked in front of Liu Ang, and asked softly: "Son, in the future, do you want to go up the mountain to chop firewood every day like your father?"

Liu Ang said slowly: "No, I want to sit on a big chair like my grandfather and ...... with many people" In fact, these are the stories that Liu Zhuang usually tells Liu Ang, Liu Zhuang's own father's story, Liu Zhuang's father was originally the king of a mountain, the king of small cottages, to put it bluntly, he was also a robber, and was annihilated by the Xingyi League in one fell swoop, but Liu Zhuang has always been proud of his father, but he didn't dare to spread it.

"Da Zhuang, Liu Ang has been taught bad by you again. "I don't know when, Xiaohui has brought the tea.

Chu Yanxi was mostly silent, because he felt that he had no right to interfere, and he didn't have the courage to admit that he was Chu Yanxi, and he was not qualified to accept Liu Ang as an apprentice and teach him swordsmanship, because the rivers and lakes were changeable and sinister, and he didn't know his life and death!

Although Liu Zhuang is ordinary, he has a good wife and a lovely child like Liu Ang, and their family can live happily, which is exactly the life that Chu Yanxi yearns for! But people will never be satisfied with the status quo, just as Chu Yanxi likes Liu Zhuang's ordinary life, Liu Zhuang likes Chu Yanxi's life in his heart.
