Ye Shengge went ashore and left, walking in a chic manner, not dragging mud and water at all, but Li Fuyao, after sitting in the cabin for a while, did not rush to get up, but drank Liu Yuanlu's pot of bad wine.

The wine is not a good wine, but Li Fuyao feels good when he drinks it, and by the way, it also reminds him of the Uncle Liu at the foot of Sword Mountain, and the wine he drank in those days was not a few.

This made Liu Yuanlu a little anxious, but he didn't say it, since he got married at the beginning of the year, his daughter-in-law didn't allow him to drink, and the little wine in the family was found out for other purposes, this pot of bad wine or he finally took it out secretly and hid it in the cabin, thinking about waiting for his daughter-in-law to drink a few more sips quietly, but now Li Fuyao has drunk a lot, and when it's over, he will have no wine for ten days and half a month.

It's just that Liu Yuanlu has always been open-minded, and he soon thought about it, and waited until the next time he went to the market to buy two more pots, but when he bought wine, he had to buy two clever gifts for his daughter-in-law.

Otherwise, Liu Yuanlu always felt a little guilty in his heart.

Seeing that Li Fuyao didn't get up for a long time, Liu Yuanlu had the courage to ask, "Li Gongzi, do you want to go to my house for a light meal?"

originally thought that Li Fuyao would refuse, originally this mountain swordsman was a fairy-like figure in their eyes, and he refused to refuse, but it was actually not a big deal, but he didn't expect Li Fuyao to accept it after thinking for a while.

This made Liu Yuanlu overjoyed, and he jumped ashore and bolted the boat.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, "Except for the lack of wine at home, there are others, although the things in these small places of ours are not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas in those states and counties, but they have a different flavor, and Li Gongzi will definitely applaud them when they eat it later." ”

Li Fu shook his head, "This can't be done without wine." ”

Liu Yuanlu was a little distracted, but soon Li Fuyao patted him on the shoulder and laughed softly: "It's okay, it's good to have no wine." ”

Liu Yuanlu nodded a little stupidly, after going ashore, the two went to the small village not far away, along the way, Liu Yuanlu talked a lot, and Li Fuyao told him about his experience in the past two years, saying that after returning from the green water lake that time, he had already untied the knot in his heart, not only Brother Zhuzi released his previous suspicions, but also became a relative to his sister, and now he even has a son.

Li Fuyao smiled and quipped: "If it weren't for this trip to the Green Water Lake, it wouldn't be so easy to think about." ”

Liu Yuanlu said with some indignation: "Li Gongzi said lightly, the green king eight that day, who will not be scared to pee his pants when he sees it? That is, I Liu Yuanlu is bold, otherwise, I really can't say." ”

Li Fuyao didn't say much, just smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Liu Yuanlu scratched his head and smiled.

The two walked all the way from the entrance of the village, halfway through, passed by a dilapidated courtyard, the courtyard was dilapidated, it was originally a wooden door, and now it is completely gone, looking into it from the courtyard gate, the courtyard inside is an old locust tree that has become a dilapidated appearance, it should be a vibrant summer, but this old locust tree is all dead branches, and the withered yellow leaves that have fallen to the ground. There was a young girl squatting under the eaves of the room with few gray tiles on the roof, holding a pair of calves, looking blankly into the distance.

Li Fuyao stopped, turned his head and asked Liu Yuanlu, "What's going on?"

Liu Yuanlu sighed, " This little girl's name is Wen Yao, Wen Yuanwai's family was originally regarded as the most well-off family in our village, and Mrs. Wen Yuanwai Wen is also regarded as a good fortune on weekdays, if some crops failed in previous years, most of the tenants' rent will be free, but it is such a family, I don't know why I didn't get a good report, before his family said that it was a distant relative, it was a young man who was not very old, handsome, lived in this Wen family for almost half a year, the villagers met on weekdays, the young man smiled and greeted, it looked like a scholar, but one day, I don't know why I suddenly saw the Wen family on fire, when the villagers came to put out the fire, I saw the young man named Wen Yan holding a torch and laughing maniacally. Needless to say, it must have been done by this white-eyed wolf, but I don't know why, the white-eyed wolf still has a lot of kung fu, and more than a dozen crop men can't stop him, so they can only watch him leave, and then after reporting to the official, the government is only symbolic to come and see, and soon it will be gone, leaving this little girl Wen Yao, as for those tenants, because the credentials were burned by a fire, naturally no one recognized it, the little girl is not no one to help, but this little girl is very stubborn, and she doesn't want to go with anyone, so she has been alone。 Fortunately, the villagers sent some food every once in a while, so they didn't starve to death. ”

Li Fuyao nodded, but he didn't say much, there are too many sufferings in the world, although he is not very old, he is not the kind of person who grew up under the protection of his elders since he was a child, so he can't say how uncomfortable.

Follow Liu Yuanlu through half of the village, came to a small courtyard, in the courtyard there was a woman in a cloth skirt who was holding the child around, seeing that her man had gone home, followed by a young man with a clean and delicate face and a white robe, the woman was a little worried, pulled her man aside, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yuanlu rubbed his son's little face, and said with a smile: "I remember the Li Gongzi I told you before, he is now from Jianshan and has come down from the mountain, I invited him to come to the house for a light meal." ”

The woman raised her head and looked at Li Fuyao, who smiled and saluted.

The woman smiled suddenly and nodded, "Then you wait, I'll go get some food." ”

Just when the woman turned around, Liu Yuanlu grabbed the placket of her clothes, and he said in a low voice: "Don't pick the door too much, take out these things like bacon and pig's trotters." I just asked Gongzi Li to name our boy!"

The woman frowned, but said nothing.

After she entered the house, Liu Yuanlu sat in the courtyard with the child and Li Fuyao in his arms.

Li Fuyao poked his head over to look at the little guy, and then took out a lot of broken silver from his arms, and didn't rush to hand it to Liu Yuanlu, but kneaded it in the palm of his hand, but it turned into a small tiger, which made Liu Yuanlu stunned.

Li Fuyao handed the pinched silver tiger to Liu Yuanlu, and laughed softly: "The first time we meet, give him some gadgets." ”

Liu Yuanlu frowned, and was thinking about shirking, Li Fuyao said: "This little tiger has been given away, if there are no pig's trotters for this meal, you will return it to me." ”

Liu Yuanlu smiled, a little embarrassed, he now knows that this Li Gongzi must have heard the conversation between their husband and wife before.

It's just that after all, he still accepted the silver tiger that was not low in value.

The two sat idle for a while, and then Liu Yuanlu said that he was going to look for wine, got up and walked out of the small courtyard with the child in his arms, and disappeared, leaving Li Fuyao alone.

Li Fuyao had nothing to do, so he broke a branch in the courtyard and wrote and painted on the mud floor, his handwriting was actually not bad, but he didn't work hard, otherwise he would be worthy of the saying of strength and strength.

Just an article scribbled down, and it took about two quarters of an hour to write.

Liu Yuanlu finally led the pillar to this side of the courtyard.

He carried two jars of wine in his hand, obviously it was abducted from his eldest brother, and after the pillar who was still looking the same came to the small courtyard, he first hugged his fist and saluted Li Fuyao, "The pillar thanked Li Gongzi for removing the monster for us, if it weren't for this, this ferry would make a living, and no one would have done it safely." ”

Li Fu smiled freely and waved his hand to show that it was not a big deal.

Zhu Zi said sincerely: "Li Gongzi has done much more than the government. ”

Li Fuyao said softly: "Actually, it is going to come out to stop me, otherwise I may not be able to clean it up, after all, it has to hide, according to the realm I was in at the time, I can't find it." ”

The pillar nodded, but didn't say anything.

It's just that after lowering his head, he soon saw the article that Li Fuyao had scribbled on the ground before, the pillar was not literate, and he didn't know what was written, so he didn't say much, but Liu Yuanlu praised two good words, with his coarseness, he actually couldn't say anything beautiful.

Li Fuyao didn't care, just waited quietly for this meal.

After about half an hour, Liu Yuanlu went to move a large wooden table and came out, laughing and calling out to the eldest brother, and the pillar quickly got up to help, and as the woman walked out of the house, the wooden table began to be put on the table.

The appearance is average, but the aroma is full.

The four of them sat down, Liu Yuanlu insisted on asking Li Fuyao to sit in a high position, Li Fuyao couldn't get away, and after sitting down, he laughed softly: "There is a lot of trouble today, no wonder." ”

Liu Yuanlu shook his head, the pillar grinned, and the woman smiled.

Liu Yuanlu handed the silver tiger to his daughter-in-law under the table, the woman took it and looked at it, a little surprised, Liu Yuanlu glanced at Li Fuyao, the woman understood, and was a little more enthusiastic about Li Fuyao.

After three rounds of drinking, the pillar that let go slightly finally saw Liu Yuanlu, who had been squeezing his eyebrows at him, and knew it in his heart, so he thought about it and said: "Sister, this man's drinking is actually not a big deal, if he can't even drink wine, maybe in the future, readers won't be able to write articles, and those knights will have no courage." ”

This remark made Li Fuyao a little speechless.

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, noncommittal.

Liu Yuanlu has a big head for a while, yes, it is estimated that he will not be able to drink the wine in the future, according to his daughter-in-law's temper, after this meal, maybe he will not be able to smell the aroma of wine for a long time.

Li Fuyao inadvertently saw Liu Yuanlu's depressed expression, so he smiled and said: "Actually, when it comes to drinking, drink once in a while, and you won't miss anything." ”

Liu Yuanlu grinned, okay, that's it.

The pillar also smiled knowingly.

Only the woman looked a little unnatural.

Even the kid let out a few giggles.

After eating, Li Fuyao sat in the courtyard thinking about things, the sword box behind his back was on his lap, and the two swords, Qingsi and Xiaoxue, were not taken out.

It's just that this kind of warmth method is actually worse than taking out the sword.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Li Fuyao actually knows a lot about the truth here.

Therefore, he can also be patient to do those water mills.

After staying in the courtyard for a short time, the woman brought out a bowl of leftover braised pork and said that she was going to send it to the little girl, Li Fuyao remembered for no reason that when he passed by before, he saw the current situation of the little girl, so he frowned, and took the initiative to say that he wanted to see the little girl, after taking the braised pork, the woman took several steamed buns, saying that he wanted to take them with him, Li Fuyao nodded, and did not refuse.

It's just that Li Fuyao quickly turned his head to the pillar on the side and asked, "The fire that day was indeed set by that young man?"

Zhu Zi nodded and said in an unquestioning tone: "Many folks have seen it, and they are not wrong. ”

Li Fuyao nodded gently, and said softly, "Why does that little girl still stay there?"

Zhuzi frowned, "I don't know, the villagers have thought about taking her home several times, but this girl has refused." Maybe this girl doesn't want to leave that small yard in her heart, after all, it's her home anyway. ”

Li Fuyao sighed: "My parents and relatives are gone, do you still have a home?"

It was just a sentence, and he said it so lightly that no one could hear it.

——

In the dilapidated courtyard, the little girl who had been looking blankly into the distance suddenly retracted her gaze and put her eyes on the old locust tree in this yard, the bleak situation of the old locust tree was about to start from the fire that day, a fire, obviously did not involve the old locust tree, but I don't know why, after the fire, the old locust tree's situation will go down, day by day, in the early spring of this year, originally pulled out a few new shoots, but then after a heavy rain, the new shoots were drenched in the rain, the old locust tree did not improve, and now in summer, it has become such a twilight scene。

Wen Yao looked at the old locust tree with tears in her eyes.

It was she who hid on the branch of the old locust tree that day, so that she didn't let the frenzied young man burn her to death, but even if she survived, the little girl who had no home was actually far from being very good.

It's just that it seems to have saved her life as if she was cursed, the current state of this old locust tree is far less than the leafy scene before the fire did not burn, seeing that during the decay of the old locust tree, the little girl actually made a lot of efforts, whether it was to go to the well far away to fetch water to water here, or to rely on her small body trembling loose soil, but no matter what, the tree showed no signs of getting better, which made the little girl feel more and more guilty.

She remembered that before these things happened in the house, she played under the old locust tree from time to time, and had nothing to do to tear off a few green leaves, and finally it saved her life, but now, this tree has fallen into this situation, and the little girl has nothing to do, so what can be done.

Maybe it was because she remembered too many things, so the little girl trotted two steps and hugged the old locust tree, tears raining down, and saying sorry over and over again.

The old locust tree did not react.

The little girl kept talking over and over again.

Tears rolled down the tree, as if someone was sighing quietly.

But the little girl turned a deaf ear.

In her small heart, she already regarded this old locust tree as her last relative, and she was reluctant to give it up at all, and she didn't want to watch it die like this.

But there are some things that even the monks on the mountain can't do, and it's actually normal for such a little girl to not be able to save an old locust tree.

The world can't be said to be ruthless, but it always depends on the people you meet and what things you meet.

It's just obvious that the world that the little girl Wen Yao has encountered now is not lovely, her parents are dead, the house is on fire, and there are tenants who don't miss the old love, and what this world leaves for the little girl is a gust of cold wind.

It's freezing cold.

But what is even colder is actually the human heart.

When Li Fuyao walked into this small courtyard with a bowl of braised pork and steamed buns, what he saw was the scene of a ragged little girl holding an old locust tree and crying.

The voice was already hoarse, so only choked voices could be heard.

Li Fuyao put the braised pork and steamed buns on the steps under the eaves, walked over and stood behind the little girl, without saying a word.

The little girl did not notice that someone was coming.

Li Fuyao patiently did not speak.

It was only when the little girl turned around that she squatted down and looked at the little girl at eye level, "Wen Yao?"

The little girl looked wary.

Li Fuyao pointed to the braised pork in the distance and didn't say much.

The little girl looked carefully at this young man she had never seen before, still vigilant, but subconsciously felt that there was a smell on him, which smelled very good.

She can't get it annoying.

But she didn't want to show closeness at all.

Li Fuyao squatted patiently and said softly: "If I say that I can understand your feelings now, do you believe it or not? A little girl, who has encountered these things at such a young age, is it too unfair to God?"

The little girl finally spoke, "Who are you?"

Li Fuyao smiled and pointed to his nose, "I, my name is Li Fuyao, and I am a swordsman." ”

This village is actually not far from the green water lake, although the people in the village are not cultivators, but in fact, they know much more about the word swordsman than the rest of the secular people, although the little girl Wen Yao is not big, but she has heard those legends about swordsmen.

She even loved the swordsmen who just existed in the story.

It's just that when she looked at Li Fuyao's waist, her face immediately turned cold.

She asked coldly, "Where's your sword?"

This made Li Fuyao sigh for a while, once upon a time, he was like this.

Li Fuyao untied the sword box behind him and pulled it open to reveal the two swords inside.

The little girl's face improved, but she still didn't want to say much.

Li Fuyao said softly: "If you want to save this old locust tree, I can help you." ”

The little girl's originally dull eyes suddenly burst into light.

Without hesitation, she knelt down and cried, "Brother Fairy help me save the big tree." ”

In her heart, she really put this old locust tree in an extremely important place, otherwise she would not have knelt down and begged a young man who had only met once.

Li Fuyao gently helped her up, patted the dust for her, and comforted her softly: "It is said that there is gold under the man's knees, and there is nothing under the woman's knees? ”
