Chapter 35: The Siege of the Green Willows
There are mortals who are so open-minded. The character of those so-called strong monks in the cultivation realm, hehe, really can't be compared with this old man Cai.
"Sister Ah Li, come and let me take you to visit this green willow village, don't look at this garden, it is not big, but it is the ancestral home of my Cai family for two hundred years. Cai Yuhuang said with pride on his face.
The little fox looked at the manor with a smile. The buildings in this garden are all made of blue bricks, and the gray and blue tiles make the houses appear more secluded.
The Zhuangzi is surrounded by large willow trees, there is a low wall to isolate the hustle and bustle, and there is a corridor of lotus green water curling fence inside; even the body of the servants in the village has a little more leisurely.
What an earthly paradise, the little fox sighed in her heart, people with good natures should be favored by God. I don't know when I, a homeless fox, will be able to enjoy peace and joy like the Cai family.
"Ah Li girl, your injuries have not healed, and you have been tired of traveling for days, so it must be very hard. ”
"Yu'er, you send Ah Li to rest, and I will arrange for someone to come over to send some food later. "Cai Sanmu is mortal, and he is already exhausted after driving for so long.
He instructed Cai Yuhuang to arrange for people to prepare for unloading, and after tossing for a while, he was helped into the inner courtyard to rest.
The little fox had already lived in a small courtyard in Zhuangzhong accompanied by Cai Yuhuang. From Cai Yuhuang, she knew that the Cai family had practiced medicine for generations, and the largest medical halls and pharmacies in the city were their family's industry.
If it weren't for some accident in the store this time, it would not be possible to leave people, and the old man would not have led the team to collect medicinal materials.
Usually, Mr. Cai basically doesn't care about things outside the village, and Uncle Cai Yuhuang takes people to preside over affairs in the city.
The Cai family's medical skills are very famous in these ten miles and eight towns, and it is said that even the servants of the Cai family know medicinal herbs and understand the medicinal properties.
Don't look at Cai Yuhuang is only eleven years old this year, and his medical skills are already very good; otherwise, this time, Old Man Cai would not have taken such a half-grown child as him to suffer in the deep mountains and old forests.
After arranging Ah Li, Cai Yuhuang consciously said goodbye. The bumps of the days made the little fox very tired, she freshened up, hastily had a little dinner and fell asleep.
The people in this Green Willow Village are very simple, no one covets them, and no one calculates. The little fox likes this kind of life very much, and when she has nothing to do, she will take Cai Yuhuang to the city for a walk. This stay is the moon, this is the most peaceful day since she left the clan.
"Sister Ah Li looks at the sword!" Cai Yuhuang has recently become obsessed with martial arts. For this reason, Mr. Cai also specially invited him to teach him. He has to spend three hours a day practicing, and the rest of the time he likes to find Ah Li the most.
Probably in the entire Green Willow Village, only Ah Li will really beat him. At first, Cai Yuhuang bullied her for not knowing martial arts, and wanted to show off in front of her, who would have thought that Ah Li would not buy his account at all, no matter how his moves changed, he would break all his attacks with one punch. With just one punch, he didn't even have the qualifications to let Ah Li throw two punches.
How could Cai Yuhuang be willing? He was so full of strength that he came to Ah Li to try his sword whenever he had time, and he couldn't bother her, so he simply abused Cai Yuhuang severely.
But the creature became more and more vigorous, and was abused one after another, and instead of being discouraged, he became more and more rampant, and even used such tactics as sneak attacks. Ah Li never tires of it, and beats him up badly every time.
Old Man Cai is not a fool after living for such a long time, he has long seen that this Ah Li girl is probably not simple. He didn't ask where this girl came from, in his opinion, no matter where Ah Li came from, it had nothing to do with his Cai family, he just thought she was a homeless child, just doing her duty as a doctor.
A comfortable life seems to be insulated from Ah Li. Green Willow Village, which has been quiet for hundreds of years, ushered in its first catastrophe in the evening of this day.
Hundreds of horse thieves suddenly entered the city and surrounded the Green Willow Village, which was at the very edge of the city. Servants who had never seen such a battle in disarray.
Old Man Cai gathered everyone in the backyard, he paced back and forth, sent the housekeeper to gather people to protect the entire inner courtyard, and ordered his subordinates to invite the martial artists of Zhuangzhong to sit in the main courtyard.
In addition, he also sent people to ask the government and relatives for help, no matter whether the people sent out can complete the task or not, there is always one more hope.
Cai Sanmu, who had arranged everything, sat back in his chair. Cai Yuhuang was closely guarding his grandfather's side, although he had only been cultivating martial arts for a month, he was not even the lowest martial artist, and he had to guard his own side at a critical moment.
Ah Li was still dressed in men's clothes, and Shi Shiran came to Old Man Cai's side. She bowed to the old man and stood straight behind him.
You don't have to ask to know that the situation is serious. She wasn't as flustered as the Cai family. Cai Sanmu glanced back at her, in case she couldn't keep it, she might need this girl's help, and she didn't know if she wanted to.
Cai Yuhuang saw her coming, his heart was a lot more settled, Ah Li's sister has always been very mysterious, what is the specific strength, with his ability to try it at all, I think it should be no worse than those martial artists in the village.
Compared to the chaos outside, the main hall was a little too quiet. Old Man Cai's eyebrows tightened, and he pressed his temples with his eldest mother's finger from time to time.
"Master, according to your orders, everyone is ready, Fan, Ji and other martial artists are already guarding outside the courtyard, and the third young master is outside to command the master for the time being. "When the housekeeper of Caifu came in, his steps were urgent, but he was very light, for fear that his movements would be too big and the calm would trigger the war.
Old Man Cai nodded and waved his hand to signal the butler to retreat, and he closed his eyes and leaned back against the chair. The finger bones clutching the armrest are a little whitish.
Cai Chengming, the son of the Cai family, led a group of clansmen into the hall, he didn't disturb his father, and stood quietly beside Cai Yuhuang. At this time, the hall was a little crowded with the hundred-hundred
Boom, boom, a sharp signal sounded, and the horses outside the village neighed and clashed. There are more than 200 people in the Green Willow Village, and the number of warriors is not weaker than that of horse thieves.
Even if the fight is damaged, it will take a while for those horse thieves to enter the backyard if they want to break through the defense. I hope that during this time, those official clans who are good friends with the Cai family can hear the news and rush to the rescue.
Old Man Cai has a plan in his heart, but he doesn't have much confidence. Everyone has a sense of self-preservation in a crisis, if no one comes......
The shouting became more and more intense, and the old man opened his eyes and suddenly got up.
Everyone turned their eyes to this old man who was over sixty years old, although he was not a martial artist, but the Cai family's Dinghai Divine Needle.
Cai Yuhuang stepped forward to support his grandfather's arm, and the old man grabbed his grandson's wrist and walked out of the hall.
"Dad, your body is tight, my son is going to take ......a look outside," Cai Chengming called in a low voice, with a hint of pleading in his words.
Cai Sanmu paused, looked back at his eldest son and said dryly: "Famous, my father has lived for so many years, you are still young, in case, in case this Zhuangzi can't be saved, you can take your clansmen and run for your life." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Cai Chengming's heart was in a panic, looking at his father's back disappearing into the night, he suddenly felt that his father had aged a lot in the day.
Ah Li nodded politely at the eldest young master of the Cai family, and then followed.
