Volume 3: The People of That Year II: The People of That Year (2)
The rain dripped down the neatly arranged traces of the eaves and fell to the ground, dripping with a rustling sound, which made people sound very pleasant and comfortable.
Lu Jiu sat on the wooden corridor under the eaves, put her feet into the rain, stepped on the dirt in the yard, let the wet soil wrap her feet, and then closed her eyes, feeling the feeling of the rain hitting the ground and then bounce back to her legs, she liked this very much, she liked this down-to-earth feeling when it rained.
"Give. ”
Zheng Que brought a bowl of red date soup, and at the same time opened an umbrella to cover Lu Jiu under the eaves to prevent the rain from falling into the soup, Lu Jiu said thank you, took the bowl of soup, held it with both hands, Zheng Que rolled up his pants, sat down in the corridor like Lu Jiu, and put his feet into the dirt.
"It was very comfortable. ”
Zheng Que opened his mouth lightly, Lu Jiu took a small sip of soup, and then breathed a long sigh of relief with a satisfied face.
"Yes, I suddenly liked it when I was beaten into a mud ditch when I was with the young master before. ”
"That's really peculiar. Zheng Que looked at the rain falling from the sky, he suddenly thought that these guys would hurt when they fell to the ground? Zheng Que shook his head and moved his eyes to the outside of the courtyard, the gate was not closed, and there was no shadow wall or screen in this small courtyard, Zheng Que could see the street outside at a glance, a shop selling books, the shopkeeper was lying lazily on a bamboo chair, holding a large book that looked old, shaking his long beard and nodding his head at the book.
This ancient house is Ji Ke's previous house, but since he left, no one has lived in it, and now many things have changed, just like the book house opposite, I heard the old man say that there was no one before, this street is only one of them, and now it has become a lively street and there are neighbors, and the old man only said that it was very good.
Zheng Que moved his eyes to the side of the bookstore, there was a pork shop, but looking at the closed door, the shopkeeper should not be there, fortunately not there, otherwise the daily activities of the old man in the bookstore who spew hard at the pork boss are about to begin, Zheng Que really doesn't want to listen to the bookstore owner and the rough man who sells meat quarrel in such a quiet time this morning.
"Sir!"
I heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the quiet street, and the voice of the old man got closer and closer with these footsteps.
It was a young man holding a large package and wearing a thick robe, and when the old man reading the book heard the voice, he saw that the eyebrows on his face trembled, and then he got up from the bamboo chair, stuffed the book into the placket of his chest, and then took out a few large pieces of paper from under the chair and spread them on the ground next to the bookshelf.
The old man pointed to the paper, "Just leave it there, old way, and you will receive today's money after I count it." ”
The young man nodded, walked into the store and spread out the package on the paper, which was a large piece of paper, a newspaper, the young man put the hat on his back, and then helped the old man classify these newspapers, the old man looked at the newspaper, looked at one of the newspapers printed with the big word "Qi", wrinkled his long eyebrows, and then sighed,
"Another sect has been included in the territory of the Great Apocalypse, and it has only been about half a year, and the Great Apocalypse has occupied most of the territory of the four continents of Beixuan, Qing, Zhong, and Hehe since its establishment.
The boy glanced at the kind of newspaper, this is the official newspaper of the Great Apocalypse, which records the recent achievements of the Great Apocalypse, and this issue is published on the Sword Pavilion and the Great Apocalypse Alliance, open resources to each other, and fight against the news of the bandits, the bandits are the forces that suddenly appeared half a year ago, at first no one cared too much, until that day, the sects all over Kyushu actually more or less appeared people who claimed to be disobedient, which was a major blow to them, and then the disobedience officially appeared, with Xishan as the leader to fight against the Great Apocalypse.
The boy has a stack, and this kind is printed with an epiphany image, which is the official report of those who have rebelled against the order, and these record their recent achievements, but compared to the Daqi side, this one looks simple and much smaller, only talking about a few more captive villages being rescued such a bullshit thing.
The young man listened to the old man's sigh and scolding, he was used to it, as long as there was news of the Great Revelation in the newspaper, the old man would scold a few words, after the young man divided the last local miscellaneous newspapers, he got up and just wanted to pat his clothes, only to remember that he was wearing a lily coat this time, so he could only give up.
"Three spirit coins, don't look for them, the other one should be your reward for not being late even if it rains. The old man shook out three copper coins with the four big characters of heaven and earth equality from his sleeve, and the young man took the old man's copper coin with a smile, and then put it in his mouth and bit it, and then the smile on his face was even better, and he bent down to express his gratitude to the old man.
The old man blew off his beard, rolled his eyes, and waved his hand impatiently at the young man, and the young man took his hat, took the package that was no longer in it, and ran away in three steps, the old man looked at the figure of the young man who disappeared in the rain, shook his head, and then picked up a miscellaneous newspaper and lay on the rocking chair while scolding and reading.
"It seems that the territory of the Great Apocalypse should have increased again. ”
Zheng Que looked at the old man's reaction and said, if you see more, you will understand.
"Well, it's a good thing to save money on a newspaper today. Lu Jiu pulled out his feet, put aside the bowl he had drunk, wiped his feet with the towel that had been prepared on the side, stood in the corridor, and handed the umbrella to Zheng Que,
"Three newspapers are a penny, plus the previous two days are exactly a penny, and when you go back, you have the rest to buy a little sugar, and the sugar is gone at home. ”
"Oh. ”
Zheng Que took the umbrella and didn't wipe his feet, so he put on straw sandals and walked out of the door.
"Wait. Lu Jiu stopped Zheng Que, the latter looked at Lu Jiu, Lu Jiu pointed to the other room in the courtyard, "And the two of them, don't forget to collect the errand fee, and the rent should be collected by day." ”
"Hmm. Zheng Que turned around and walked towards the other house.
"Wait. Lu Jiu stopped Zheng Que again, Zheng Que looked back at Lu Jiu, there was no impatience in his eyes, "Don't forget the mask, we are now wanted by them." ”
Zheng Que nodded to Lu Jiu with a smile on his face, and then turned around and walked towards the other room.
"How are you like the, there are so many things. A man's voice suddenly appeared in Lu Jiu's mind.
"Shut up, you one of the culprits. Lu Jiu pouted and replied.
In Lu Jiu's Divine Sea, Mo Lai shrugged helplessly, and under his buttocks, white, transparent, black and red occupied a quarter of Lu Jiu's Divine Sea.
"Heaven and earth conscience! I am the most caring person in the whole of Shenzhou, you see I directly told you all the speculation that I am the mastermind behind the scenes, and I don't do everything you say, I don't even listen to the words of the Chu family's father and daughter, just listen to you, can't I show my determination? The most important thing is that the guy outside is different from me, he is five years later, not for nearly six years, you can't treat him as me, I am much younger than him. ”
Lu Jiu walked into the house with a bowl, the old man Ji Ke had already lit a candle and was copying on the clean wooden table, the old man Ji Ke had a lot less words since that day, except for some necessary to talk to himself and Zheng Que, that is, he was immersed in copying, Lu Jiu didn't know what Ji Ke was copying, but he felt that the old man seemed to care about it very much, or was very afraid that he would not be able to complete it.
Lu Jiu walked to the old man's table and took the bowl that the old man had drunk away.
"Sir, do you still want it?" Lu Jiu asked.
The old man shook his head and didn't speak, and Lu Jiu didn't continue to disturb the old man and went out with the bowl.
Along the corridor, Lu Jiu came to another other house, and after pushing the door open, there was another world, full of water, calm water, about hundreds of miles in a radius, extremely quiet, and there was a small island in the center of a hundred miles of water, an empty island, on that island, a figure could be vaguely seen, that was Xiao Jiu.
Lu Jiu walked towards the island, the Xuanyuan Sword flew out of Lu Jiu's body, and fell to Lu Jiu's feet before Lu Jiu stepped into the water, when Lu Jiu jumped up slightly and took another step forward, Xuanyuan Sword flew to the landing place again, and Lu Jiu could be said to have jumped into the island.
"It's a little unstable, do you care about anything?"
Xiao Jiu looked at Lu Jiu, took the two bowls, threw them into the water casually, and brushed them later.
Lu Jiu shook his head, "No." ”
"......," Xiao Jiu clapped his hands, "Then let's start." ”
"Okay. Lu Jiu nodded, sat cross-legged on the island, and as Xiao Jiu's words fell, he saw that ten thousand different sword qi suddenly appeared on the originally calm water surface, this is the sword qi of the Ling Xiao faction, Xiao Jiu opened up part of the space between the two places, and then stored all the sword qi that the disciples of the Ling Xiao faction usually exercised here, thus forming these "water".
Just like Lu Jiu's Divine Sea, the "water" formed by the sword qi.
In fact, it is a little less, if it weren't for the loss of too long distances and Lu Jiu's daily training, these should have been more, at least a thousand miles of square circle, Xiao Jiu's fingers moved slightly, and several sword qi exuding the aura of Jindan slashed towards Lu Jiu, who was sitting quietly, under Xiao Jiu's control.
Lu Jiu looked at those sword qi, there was no sword qi on his body, and there was no explosion of momentum brought by cultivation, facing the Jindan sword qi Lu Jiu was very calm, just like the water surface just now.
The sword qi of Jin Dan dissipated, and it dispersed before it took a few steps, Xiao Jiu nodded, and continued to move his fingers, it was still the sword qi of Jin Dan breath, but this time it was stronger than just now, but these were only a little more than just now and then dissipated.
Zheng!
Yuan Ying's aura exploded, and with Xiao Jiu's sudden strengthening, hundreds of sword qi in the middle of Yuan Ying killed Lu Jiu from all directions, and this time he didn't stop again, these sword qi slashed straight towards Lu Jiu.
The girl looked at these sword qi, in the sea of gods, the four sword qi shook slightly, Mo Lai patted them with a smile, and then looked at the big sword, looking at the fourth line that became clearer and clearer, "How can she just be like this, she has a little confidence in your master, look." ”
Outside, Lu Jiu looked at these sword qi, raised his arm slightly, and then spoke lightly, just lightly, just like chatting with Zheng Que just now, it was very usual.
"Presumptuous. ”
It was a very ordinary tone, a very ordinary word, and it came out of the girl's mouth, everything was so ordinary, and then none of Yuan Ying's sword qi flew in the air, but all of them bent and crouched on the water.
It is like courtiers bowing down to their emperors.
