It was noon.

Shi Xiucai's voice sounded outside the door, but he pushed the door and entered: "Xiao Ming, go to my house to play." ”

Li Ming was a little stunned: "Go to your house, didn't Brother Fang urge you to practice today?"

Shi Xiucai laughed: "It seems that I received some news on the mountain last night, and early in the morning, Uncle Xiao went down the mountain with many elites in the door." ”

"But we can't just go down the mountain. Li Ming was a little embarrassed, he had been on this mountain for a year, and he really missed the outside world, after all, he was still a child.

Shi Xiucai said with a smile: "Xiao Ming, you are not a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the people of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect also know that you are a relative of Uncle Xiao, so naturally no one will stop you." And I, I've already told the senior brother, and he has already given me the approval. "The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is a big sect in the rivers and lakes, and there are naturally rules when there are many people, and all ordinary disciples who go down the mountain must have the consent of the manager.

"That cold-faced ghost didn't even embarrass you?" Thinking of the cold face of the reverse correction, Li Ming couldn't help but shudder in his heart.

Shi Xiucai took the scroll in Li Ming's hand and threw it away: "Actually, the senior brother is very good, but if you have to manage the junior brothers and sisters of a huge sect, you naturally have to not smile." ”

Li Ming nodded: "That's right, I often laugh unconsciously when I see him and Brother Fang together, and I won't admit it when I catch him." ”

"Are you sure?" Shi Xiucai seemed to have discovered some major news.

Li Ming nodded: "I've seen it several times, if you want to say that this Ten Thousand Swords Sect is the only one who can get along with that cold-faced ghost." ”

"The elder brother would laugh. Shi Xiucai patted his head in disbelief, and then turned around to look outside, "But Xiao Ming, you can accompany me home to play for a few days, I told my father about you a long time ago, but he always wants to thank you." ”

Li Ming was a little confused: "Thank me?"

"Yes, don't think I don't know, Uncle Xiao's willingness to teach me martial arts is all for your sake, although he just asked me to be a scholar, but I am already very happy to learn martial arts. Shi Xiucai was very serious when he talked about gratitude, without the slightest joking expression.

Li Ming smiled a little embarrassedly: "I haven't helped with this matter at all, really." Brother Fang also taught you only because you have talent. When Big Brother Fang wants to accept an apprentice one day, he will definitely accept you as an apprentice. ”

Shi Xiucai sighed helplessly: "Xiao Ming, don't make fun of me, I don't know how many catties and taels I have?" If I wasn't too stupid, how could I stay in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for two years, and I still can't learn martial arts." ”

Li Ming thought of Shi Xiucai's embarrassing past, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Okay, okay, I'll go back with you." I haven't been down yet. ”

Descending from Li Ming's hut, they naturally had to bypass the cafeteria, and as soon as the two of them walked to the cafeteria, they saw Liu Chuan and his party.

"Shout, sissy, where are you going to take our eldest son Li?" Wang Qihong still likes to play tricks on others.

Li Ming heard Shi Xiucai's nickname for the first time, and couldn't help frowning, glaring at Wang Qihong: "You are also people who read poetry and books, how can you bully others like this?" Shi Xiucai may be used to listening to it usually, at this time, Fang Jianxin and Zuo Siyan are not there, if the two of them quarrel, they will definitely suffer. At that time, the most important thing to do is to punish Liu Chuan and his party lightly, after all, it is just a quarrel between children. Thinking of this, he gently pulled Li Ming's hand and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ming, let's go." ”

Over there, Wang Qihong was even more unscrupulous, shaking his body and wanting to come forward: "A son who kills pigs doesn't think that he can turn over if he gets the favor of his little uncle, you are just a scholar." ”

Liu Chuan suddenly couldn't listen anymore, glared angrily and shouted, "Wang Qihong, shut up." ”

"You look very strong, you don't need to eat lunch, let me go to the martial arts training ground for twenty laps. The reverse correction took Zuo Siyan's hand and came to him at this time, and it seemed that he had already eaten in the cafeteria.

Yanagawa hurriedly said hello to Ann.

Wang Qihong and the others lowered their heads in horror.

The cold face that was already born in the reverse correction was a little angry at this time, and it was like an iceberg erupting, and the air around it seemed to be cold.

"Senior Brother Liu, you have to be optimistic about your group of dead friends. "The reverse correction is very casual, but there is no doubt about the effect of it.

Liu Chuan said yes repeatedly, and then led everyone to the direction of the martial arts training ground.

Zuo Siyan saw that the two of them were carrying packages, and asked a little strangely, "Xiao Ming, where are you going?"

"I invited Xiao Ming to my house for a few days. Shi Xiucai explained.

"Then I'll ......" Before Zuo Siyan finished speaking, he was grabbed by the reverse correction, "Where else do you want to go?" The master ordered, you trespassed on the forbidden land of the Sword Pavilion, and punished you for thinking about it behind closed doors, I am willing to let you out to eat is already the limit." ”

"Bad brother. Zuo Siyan shook off the hand of the reverse correction and wanted to leave with negative energy, but he couldn't help but turn around and ordered, "Don't forget to bring me ten strings of rock sugar gourds when you come back." After saying that, he left with a snort.

Retrograde glanced at Li Ming: "You go down the mountain and have fun for a few days, but Jian Xin asked me to take care of you, if you have something, let me send the distress signal of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and I will come as soon as possible." ”

With the advent of the reverse correction, the next thing was to descend the mountain very smoothly, and to the stable at the foot of the mountain to fetch two horses, the two of them happily headed in the direction of the town.

"It's been a year and I'm going down the mountain for the first time. Li Ming looked at the scenery speeding by the side of the road, and called happily, Shi Xiu is his best friend Now, he doesn't have to worry so much in front of him, and he has changed the image of a gentle and elegant nerd in the past.

Shi Xiucai smiled: "I will definitely take you to have a good time this time." ”

"How long will it take us to get to your house?"

"It's not far away, and the fast horse will be there in about half an hour. ”

Due to its proximity to the Yellow River, Sishui Town has had a lot of business travel in the past, and it can be regarded as prosperous. And because it is closest to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it is peaceful. When the separation was close, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect set up a stronghold in the town and assigned more than a dozen disciples to protect the peace of the town. The people in the town naturally couldn't ask for it, and they were willing to earn some silver taels, after all, there was no free lunch in the world.

This stronghold is located in a small two-story wooden building at the entrance of Sishui Town. The two of them entered the town, and there happened to be two disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect sitting at the door chatting. The disciples who have been here for many years are familiar with this town.

"Senior Brother Lan, Senior Brother Du is good. Shi Xiucai said hello respectfully.

One of the slightly fatter middle-aged disciples nodded: "Is this little brother a relative of the little uncle?"

Li Ming hurriedly learned Shi Xiucai's way and asked all over again.

"Hey, hey. Shi Xiucai scratched his head embarrassedly, "Senior Brother Lan is really discerning. ”

Another middle-aged disciple teased: "Where is this fat man's good eyes, your father shouts in the town every day that you and the relatives of the junior uncle of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are best friends, we are not deaf, haha." ”

Li Ming heard Shi Xiucai talk about the two of them, the two of them were the leaders of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in this town, and it was thanks to the help of the two of them that the relationship was naturally good. Of course, he knew that the two were just joking.

"Old smoking gun, you just talk a lot. Fat Lan suddenly thought of something, and the conversation changed, "But there have been a lot of strange guests in your inn recently, you two must not provoke them." ”

It turned out that Shi Xiucai's father, since he knew that his son was following the little uncle of Wanjian Sect, felt that he could no longer sell pork to make his son lose face, so he took his savings and opened an inn. Not to mention, this town is really full of people.

"Strange?" Shi Xiucai didn't understand.

Du Smoke Gun knocked his old cigarette gun, which had been used for many years, and said, "We can't tell, but there is a sign of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect outside this town, and it is expected that not many people will come to cause trouble, so you don't want to bump into others." ”

The inn opened by Shi Xiucai's father is called "Xiucai Inn", which is a matter of course. And the five big and three thick ones naturally learn to dress up outside the staff, so he looks sven.

Shi Dazhuang was standing outside the door at the moment, looking anxiously at the road, and finally saw his son and a child leading the horse together, so he let out a long sigh. I told my neighbors that my son was going to come back with the big man of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect today. If Li Ming doesn't come, it will be a shame. Fortunately, Shi Xiucai looks really good with Li Ming.

Xiao Er on the side had already stepped forward and led the two of them away.

"Uncle Shi is good. Li Ming is familiar with the books of sages and sages, and naturally he is extremely polite and polite.

Shi Dazhuang greeted happily, and sure enough, this kid didn't look like the naughty kids in the town all day long.

Shi Dazhuang's inn is divided into front and back yards, and the backyard is the usual home place. At this time, he urged Shi Xiucai to take Li Ming to the backyard to play.

The inn's business was unexpectedly deserted.

Shi Xiucai was a little stunned as soon as he walked into the inn. Li Ming is also strange, it stands to reason that there are two inns in this town, and these two inns are basically full on weekdays, but look at the place to eat on the first floor of this inn. There were only three tables of people on the first floor of the huge land. The point is that there are only three people at these three tables, one person at each table. What's even more amazing is that all three of them are women. The woman with a long box on the table was a heroic woman, slightly older than the girl with the guqin on the table next to her. The other girl in the farthest corner was about eighteen years old, about five years younger than the two.

The girl who used the harp only glanced at the two of them, but the other two looked carefully, and then lowered their heads and looked at themselves.

"Dad, isn't the inn business bad?" forced himself to walk to the backyard with a solemn atmosphere, and Shi Xiucai finally couldn't help but ask.

Shi Dazhuang smiled: "How can it be bad? It's just wonderful." ”

Li Ming couldn't help but smile and said, "Uncle Shi, just a few guests, don't lie to us children." ”

Shi Dazhuang looked around a little nervously, and then lowered his voice: "Three days ago, the girl with the box came to the inn first, she said that she had chartered our inn, I was still quite puzzled, but the price she gave every day was more than my profit in a day, and I was happy to be idle." Anyway, those passers-by used to stay in other people's homes. ”

"But Dad, are you sure they're not here to do anything bad?" Shi Xiucai asked with some concern.

Shi Dazhuang spread his hands helplessly: "It's a fool not to make money if you have money, besides, we are ordinary people, since she is willing to pay so much money, she will not be eyeing us for this money." ”

Li Ming asked at this time, "Aren't there two other sisters?"

Shi Dazhuang nodded: "Xu is all girls' families, the girl with the box asked me to keep them, who cares?"

Because the inn was idle, Shi Dazhuang had time to make a table of sumptuous food to entertain Li Ming, a young guest.

By this time, the sky had darkened a little, and the fiery clouds in the distance covered the sky and the earth red.

"Little brother, be careful outside when it's dark. The girl holding the box was as if she hadn't moved for a day, and the table was still the same motion, but at the moment she was drinking a mouthful of a burning knife with a sea bowl, and few people could drink so beautifully, especially such a heroic woman. At this moment, after she said this, she poured another bowl of wine. Li Ming was not mistaken, it was indeed a bowl, and he seemed to be able to see that the wine flowed from his neck into his chest and abdomen, it was so natural and comfortable.

The woman's eyes were very gentle, looking at Li Ming as if she was pampering her younger brother, her face was a little drunk because she was in a hurry, and there was a flush at the moment, but she was definitely not drunk, because her eyes were ten times clearer than many people who had not drunk.
