The reason why Wu Xiu left with peace of mind was because of the conversation with Bayin before leaving. The two talked about ideals. Bayin said that his ideal was to build his own village in the valley, with inns, taverns, and places where he could spend money and have fun, and he also said that if they were all built, he could go out of the mountains to promote his valley and let some monks or warriors pay money to live in the valley.

Wu Xiu asked him what was the point of doing this.

He said that he wanted to build the place where the master brought him into the most prosperous town, so that everyone in the world would know about it.

Wu Xiu and Chen Sidao's foot strength is not weak, but they also need to walk for five days to reach Yaotai Town. Wu Xiu decided not to go through Tin Shui Wai on purpose. When you arrive in Yaotai Town, you can walk on the official road, although the official road in remote areas is not wide, you can also ride a horse. The mountain road is inconvenient for horseback riding, and in order to be faster, Wu Xiu and Chen Sidao almost trotted all the way. Hanshan County, in the territory of the Great Wei is in the south-west, Fancheng is in the northwest of the Great Wei, Wu Xiu looked at the map of Kanyu, as long as he arrived at Yaotai Town and walked on the official road, and then went all the way to the south, at the speed of a hundred miles a day, it would take more than ten days.

Now Chen Sidao has taken the initiative to speak more often, not as twisted as before, and the master is not so restrained. Chen Sidao asked, "Master, have you been to many places?"

Wu Xiu thought for a while and said, "It's not much, Great Wei is already very big, and I haven't finished it yet." The world is even bigger, I heard that with the central sea as the boundary, the west has the territory of the three kingdoms, and the eastern region is even larger. ”

"Then do you want to go and see the master?" Chen Sidao asked.

"If you have the chance, you will. Wu Xiu laughed.

Chen Sidao was pleasantly surprised: "Then the master must take me." ”

"Good. ”

Yaotai Town is not big, even smaller than Qianfang Town. The two didn't stay too long when they arrived in Yaotai Town, they simply had a meal, and then after buying two sets of clothes for Chen Sidao, they were in a hurry to set off. Wu Xiu got on the horse, and then picked up Chen Sidao. At first, Chen Sidao was sitting behind Wu Xiu, but later she said that she wanted to sit in front, Wu Xiu had no choice but to agree, and Chen Sidao leaned on Wu Xiu's arms, one big and one small galloped away.

There were hardly too many stops along the way, but in order to take care of Chen Sidao, when passing through the town, Wu Xiu would still find an inn so that Chen Sidao could rest well and take a bath.

At the same time, there was a young man in his thirties who was leisurely on his way, dressed in simple clothes, with a gourd hanging from his waist, and in which he filled wine, which he would pour whenever he passed through the town. On this day, he stumbled into Yaotai Town, went straight to a tavern, asked for two jars of wine and two plates of side dishes, and ate and drank silently. As he drank and drank, he got drunk and fell asleep on the table.

The shopkeeper is not surprised, he has seen a lot of this kind of person.

Two hours had passed, and the young man awoke drunk, shook the wine in the jar, and drank it all with his head up. Then he staggered to his feet and hooked his finger at Xiao Er on the side, "Let me ask you, how to get to Tin Shui Wai?"

It happened that Xiao Er knew, so he said, "It's two days to the west." ”

The young man patted Xiao Er's shoulder, felt a small gold bump from his belt, put it on Xiao Er's hand, and then turned around and went out the door. The young man left Yaotai Town in this way, and of course he did not forget to fill his gourd with wine.

Three days later, Tin Shui Wai Chen's house.

At the dining table, young people drank the spirits bought by Chen Sifeng and ate the dishes made by Zhang Xue'e.

Chen Sifeng sat opposite him, and he didn't know where to put his hand, so he resignedly: "The wine and food are still in the mouth?"

The young man took a sip of the liquor and nodded, "It's okay, it's just that this scrambled egg with chili is a little salty." ”

Chen Sifeng immediately said: "Then I'll let the insiders fry a plate again." ”

The young man waved his hand, then pressed it down, and motioned for Chen Sifeng to sit down, "Let me ask you, do your friends drink?"

Chen Sifeng propped his hands on his thighs and leaned forward slightly, "Ah, you're talking about Lao Zhang, who works with me, he can drink, and he drinks a lot, like this wine, two or three catties." ”

The young man took a bite of food, "That's not much, I can drink four or five catties." ”

Chen Sifeng smiled and nodded, the more he laughed, the more embarrassed he became, because the young man opposite him kept looking at him after he finished speaking, "That, you eat first, and then I'll go and copy a dish for you." ”

The young man kept looking at Chen Sifeng, his face was flat like water, the ancient well was not wavering, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and he couldn't hear any terrifying meaning from the tone of his voice, just like a big brother next door who was at home with you. Since he entered the door, Chen Sifeng knew that he was nothing more than coming to find Wu Xiu and Fang Xiaowen, so Chen Sifeng has been trying to pretend to be stupid, pretending not to know anything, but the more he pretends, the more revealing he becomes.

There was no way, Chen Sifeng had no choice but to sit down, but his face was resolute, "My friend likes to drink, and when he drinks, he is very quiet. ”

"Where is he?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm afraid of death. ”

"Your name is Chen Sifeng, right?"

"Yes. ”

"My name is Weekend. ”

"Hmm. ”

The young man who reported his name put down his chopsticks, stood up, and then handed a jar of spirits to Chen Sifeng, and said, "Two choices, drink with me and die with him." ”

Chen Sifeng didn't pick up the wine jar, and at this time, Zhang Xue'e walked in with Xiaohu. Chen Sifeng looked back at his wife and children, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, "They went to Yaozhai." ”

On the weekend, he poured a bowl of wine for Chen Sifeng, "I'm tired." ”

Over the weekend, he poured the rest of the drink into his gourd, took a sip and continued: "Thank you for the meal, I don't eat your stuff for nothing." He took out another golden lump from his belt, gently placed it on the table, and then walked out of Chen's house.

"Four winds, Yaozhai is very safe, don't worry. Zhang Xue'e said.

Chen Sifeng closed his eyes, sighed, and threw the golden lump out of the house, just hitting Vientiane who was entering the hospital.

Vientiane picked up the golden pimple and laughed, "I haven't seen you for a while, and you've become so rich?"

Chen Sifeng's face was incredible, he stood up, and exclaimed, "Why are you here?"

Vientiane spread his arms with a smile on his face, as if waiting for Chen Sifeng to come forward and hug him.

Chen Si was angry, scolded and shouted, "The big expedition!"

Vientiane looked at Zhang Xue'e and saw the nervous look on Zhang Xue'e's face, so he stopped laughing, put down his arm and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xue'e told the story again.

Vientiane began to laugh again, and then motioned to Alan who was standing outside the courtyard to enter the courtyard, "Is that the person with the wine gourd?" Don't worry, Da Zheng and Fang Xiaowen have gone elsewhere, don't say it's him, even I can't find it." ”

Chen Sifeng hurriedly asked, "Where did you go?"

"In the mountains, in a certain valley in the north, I don't know where it is. "Vientiane Road.

"Won't there be danger in the mountains?" asked Chen Sifeng again.

"Da Zheng insists on going, I can't help it, that place is a place for a certain master, so if Da Zheng can stay where he can stay safely, there will be no danger. ”

Chen Sifeng wanted to ask something, Vientiane raised his hand, "We're not welcome?"

Chen Sifeng then let Vientiane into the house and asked, "What about the four paths?"

"I ran away with Da Zheng. Vientiane grinned.

Chen Sifeng is not worried, there is a big expedition to protect the four paths, he can rest assured. So, he asked some details, and Vientiane said it in detail, and Chen Sifeng was relieved. Vientiane came this time to prepare to return to Tianshui Wai to settle down, and if he returned to Yaozhai in the future, it would be similar to Alan going to his mother's house.

There's nothing better than coming home, so tonight is another sleepless night for Vientiane. Now that Liu Sanqian has married his daughter-in-law and is ready to go to the town to be a teacher, Chen Sifeng's children can fight, and Vientiane will return to Tianshuiwei Of course, there is one more thing, that is, to get Alan pregnant as soon as possible. In addition to them, the remaining childhood friends who are not in Tin Shui Wai have also become families and have their own children, so Chen Sifeng can't help but worry a little about Wu Xiu, worried that Wu Xiu will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, what's the point of running around all day long!

The days of Tin Shui Wai, as always, are plain, three meals a day, the four seasons rotate, people seem to be always busy, and it seems that they will never be busy, it is in this repetitive busy life, people living in Tin Shui Wai understand what happiness is.

A plain and fulfilling life is the greatest happiness.

......

There are three days left to reach Hanshan County. There are many counties in the southwest of the Great Wei Dynasty, but the most well-known one for the people of the Great Wei Dynasty is Hanshan County, an important town in the southwest. The jade of Hanshan County is famous all over the world, and the pendants, ornaments, or handles made of jade have long become a necessary object in the home or body of the eunuchs of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Chen Sidao leaned on Wu Xiu's arms and fell asleep, the sky was getting dark, Wu Xiu looked at the map, and there was a small town thirty miles ahead. Wu Xiu quickly whipped the horse, and during this time, the horse was really tired and lost a lot of weight, but the speed did not decrease at all. When she arrived in the town, Chen Sidao also woke up, she really admired the master's good spirit, she could not fit her eyes for three consecutive days, she slept sweetly in the wild last night, and the master boxed alone, and fought all night.

Chen Sidao looked up at the master who was riding a horse seriously, and then he was bored.

Wu Xiu looked ahead and asked, "Hungry?"

"No, I'm wondering why you can go so long without sleeping. Chen Sidao said.

"People who practice martial arts, meditating and immersing themselves in their minds, can be regarded as sleeping, and there is another reason, that is, I am used to it, so naturally I don't feel tired. Wu Xiudao.

Chen Sidao said: "Otherwise, we will rest outside tonight and not go to the town." ”

Wu Xiu sniffed and deliberately disgusted: "You haven't taken a shower for four days, you smell what you smell." ”

Chen Sidao was indifferent, but obviously not very happy, drooping his face, and then secretly, quickly, sniffed his armpits, and stuck out his tongue, "Why can't I just take a bath in the wild?"

Although Chen Sidao was still a child less than ten years old, Wu Xiu still stipulated that she could not bathe in the wild at will, unless there were special circumstances, such as the situation that Chen Sidao had to take a bath after opening the acupoint that day. Chen Sidao asked why, she said that when it was hot, in Tin Shui Wai, all the children did not take a bath in the Tin Shui River, and they hated to soak in the river every day in the summer. Wu Xiu gave her a chestnut at that time and said: "A little girl should look like a little girl, you like to go over the mountains and mountains alone, and I don't care if you play crazy everywhere, but this matter is different, because the little girl will grow into a big girl in the future, and it is not good to develop the habit of not being ashamed." ”

Chen Sidao retorted at the time: "When I grow up, I won't take a bath in the wild casually, I'm not a fool!"

Wu Xiu gave Chen Sidao another chestnut, "This matter is not negotiable, you are almost ten years old, you must always pay attention to your image." ”

Chen Sidao had no choice but to nod sullenly, "Okay." ”

It has been six days since entering Hanshan County, Wu Xiu calculated the time, it was July 18 from the valley, and it took a total of thirteen days on the road, and today is the second day of the eighth month. All the way, I was always worried that Han Donglai would set his wedding date on the first day of August.

The Han family, as soon as I inquired, there were seven or eight famous Han families in Hanshan County, and I found a few, but none of them, Wu Xiu, who was unwilling to go to the government, had to go to the government to inquire, and when I asked, I learned that Han Donglai bought his ancestral house after coming back, which was on Yishui Street. Wu Xiu hurriedly rushed to Yishui Street after thanking him again and again, walked about two or three miles along Yishui Street, and saw an antique mansion, the word Han House was written on the plaque, it was obviously renovated and repaired, the vermilion paint on the gate had just been brushed, bright red like fire, there were some new tiles on the roof, and even the outer wall was repainted with white ash, and Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum was painted. Wu Xiu walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and after a while, an old man opened the door, and when the old man saw Wu Xiu, he smiled and asked, "You are Wu Xiu, right?"

Wu Xiu nodded in surprise, "Yes."

The old man opened the door, "Please come in." ”

Chen Sidao led the horse and followed Wu Xiu into the door, it was indeed a big mansion, and he needed to pass through two doors to see the huge courtyard, but there was no one in the mansion, and it looked extremely deserted. Walk through the yard and through another gate to the backyard.

"Boss!" Han Dong suddenly pounced from one side, frightening Chen Sidao and the blind horse behind Wu Xiu to take several steps back.

The old janitor left quietly.

Han Donglai hugged Wu Xiu and cried a lot.

Chen Sidao watched silently, glared at Han Donglai a few times, and was a little annoyed.

Wu Xiu felt a lot at the moment, after a few months, there were really a lot of things that happened, he gently patted Han Donglai's back and asked, "How is it? The child was not born, right?"

Han Donglai burst into tears and laughed, hammered Wu Xiu's back, let go of his arm, and looked at Wu Xiu excitedly, "I'm waiting for you!"

Wu Xiu nodded, "I'm here, I said, as long as there are no accidents, I will definitely attend your wedding." ”

But there was no shortage of accidents, and he still came.

Han Donglai nodded heavily and smiled, "Please Mr. have seen it, the date is set for the sixth day of the eighth month, and there are four days left, by the way, He Jiancheng said that he will also come." ”

Wu Xiu patted Han Donglai's chest, "I'm afraid that you, a guy who can't hang dry loaches with cat's ears, will set the wedding date on the first day of the eighth month, and he has run for fifteen days without resting." ”

Han Donglai hurriedly said: "Drink, go to sleep after drinking, let's go!" Then he saw Chen Sidao glaring at him behind Wu Xiu, and asked, "Boss, where did you pick up this little girl?"

Wu Xiu also looked back at Chen Sidao, who was standing in a daze, indeed, Sidao was born black and thin, and after walking for so many days, he really looked like a little flower child, Wu Xiu patted Han Donglai and said angrily, "What did you pick up, tell you, this is my apprentice, called Chen Sidao." ”

Then Wu Xiu smiled and said to Chen Sidao, "Sidao, come, call Uncle Han." ”

Chen Sidao looked at Wu Xiu's eyes motionlessly, as if he was looking at a fool.

Then, there is no then.

At this time, Dongmei, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, walked out with the pillars of the corridor, she stood above the steps of the corridor, pulled her hair hanging down her ears, and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Wu?

Han Donglai patted Wu Xiu's shoulder, raised his head proudly, and seemed to tell Wu Xiu, look at how beautiful my woman is.

It's really beautiful, it's not the village girl who lives in the countryside, it's like being reborn as a different person, but there is still an indescribable freshness and clarity, blowing like a spring breeze after the appearance of the winter plum, washing away the dust in people's eyes and even in their hearts. Wu Xiu laughed, "Dongmei, are you okay? Han Donglai didn't bully you, right?"

Dongmei lowered her head slightly, blushing, "Donglai, he, he's very good to me." ”

Han Donglai shook his eyebrows at Wu Xiu, and then whispered in Wu Xiu's ear: "I'm pregnant!"

Wu Xiu had to admire, and Han Donglai gave a thumbs up.

Chen Sidao also looked at Dongmei, then couldn't help but look at his dirty clothes, and asked, "Are you blind?"

Han Donglai's face suddenly became gloomy, but Huang Dongmei was not shocked, her face was still with a gentle smile, she nodded seriously, and said, "Well, I can't see it when I am born." ”

Wu Xiu patted Han Donglai on the shoulder, walked to Chen Sidao's side, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk so directly in the future, okay?!"

Chen Sidao turned his head and glared at Han Donglai a few times, "I did it on purpose." ”

Han Donglai listened to it sincerely, and said angrily: "Hey, you little fart boy looking for a beating, I have to clean you up in front of your master today!"

Wu Xiu shook his hand, "What an adult, what are you angry with a child, let's go, let's eat!"

Dongmei walked over slowly, walked to Chen Sidao's side, reached out and touched it, but she didn't touch Chen Sidao, so she simply squatted down and said gently: "You're hungry too, aren't you?" Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

Chen Sidao didn't speak, Wu Xiu wanted to teach her a lesson, but she said, "I want to take a bath, I want to wear beautiful clothes like you." ”

Dongmei laughed softly, reached out and touched it again, this time Chen Sidao took the initiative to take a step forward, Dongmei happened to touch her hair, and then Dongmei stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you there." ”

Chen Sidao, who was still saying cruel words a moment ago, followed Dongmei at this moment.

Wu Xiu's head was big for a while, and he pushed Han Donglai, who was still sullen, "You won't really be angry, will you?"

Han Donglai shook his head, "It's just that Dongmei doesn't feel good when I hear others say this." ”

After Wu Xiu was silent for a moment, he said: "It's a good thing that you feel sorry for Dongmei, but you also have to accept the reality, in case the neighbors quarrel and say something ugly in the future, you still have to kill them? ”

Han Donglai nodded.

Seeing that Han Donglai didn't speak, Wu Xiu got angry and said, "Are you still drinking?"

"Drink! Why not!"

The wedding date is approaching, and you have to drink some pre-wedding wine, so the Han family is brightly lit tonight.

It was noisy until late at night.

Chen Sidao seems to have settled his old suspicions with Han Donglai.

But no one can see when there was a rift between them.

Perhaps, Dongmei is too beautiful.

Wu Xiu, who was already drunk, looked up at Mingyue, and suddenly missed Huang Er, Cao Jiabao, and Ping'er.

If everyone is still there, tonight's wedding wine, 10,000 catties is not enough.
