After Luo Li returned to Orchid Garden, he asked Pei Ying to wait outside the door. She ran to the study by herself, rolled up her sleeves, waved her small hand, Juanjuan's small characters, sprinkled with joy, and gave Pei Ying the densely written note.

"Master Pei, these are all the daily necessities and painting tools that the little girl needs, and I have prepared them for my wife. Apricot eyes narrowed into a slit, and said to Pei Ying with a smile on her face.

Pei Ying unfolded the list, her brows tightened, none of the things that were said to be painted were cheap, and there were several columns of rice paper alone! Huixuan, which was as light as a cicada's wings and white as snow, Luo Li would ask for ten zhang, not to mention the paperweight stone, she directly asked for the Lantian paperweight jade that was only available in the Southern Regions, and even asked for more than ten empty fans carved from pear wood.

As the saying goes, if you have a bargain, you don't take advantage of it.

If you want my aunt and me to do something for you, you have to weigh whether your money bag is enough.

When King Mu saw this list, he could only hold his forehead deeply, but he still approved these requirements and let Pei Ying hand it over to Steward Li.

Steward Li's real name is Li Zi, and he is an old man who follows King Mu. He watched King Mu grow up, when the Bai Sect sent someone to pick up King Mu, he went to the Bai Sect with King Mu, and lived for more than ten years. Now that he is old, King Mu respects him and only lets him take care of the accounts, while his son Li Shan helps with housework in the palace.

When Steward Li saw this list, he frowned, his purse tightened, although the silver was not his, but these expenses would also affect the other uses of the palace, and in the end, he had no choice but to hand over the matter to Li Shan.

That night, there was no wind in the summer night, and the clouds covered the moon.

Luo Li sent Yuan Qin early, went to the study to write a letter, sealed it with paste, and put it in his arms. She saw that the night was dark, so she jumped and flew to the eaves, and the four words silently could not be more suitable to describe Luo Li's light skills. She looked around and saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary, so she quickly jumped onto the roof of the house in the distance, completely merging with the night.

In the darkness not far from the outside of Lan Yuan, a cold voice came, "Come and have a look, don't disturb her." ”

A shadow in the darkness nodded, and disappeared into the darkness.

Luo Li's martial arts are very poor, after all, he cultivated late, and he didn't care about it. Although the master forced her to learn some life-saving kung fu, she only learned some flower fists and embroidered legs. Her ability to do light skills has been practiced through actual combat.

She is a well-known troublemaker in Qingluan Peak, either going to the Danfang to steal the pill, or going to the back mountain to make trouble, forcing the uncles in the villa to give a death order, so that her senior brothers and sisters can take her out of the mountain and take her out of the mountain. And those senior brothers and sisters of course like this beauty, and they have a great opportunity to go down the mountain to play, and they are all vying to take Luo Li out, but they are all light achievements, and every time they go out, Luo Li has to drag his feet. She is so strong, she is naturally unwilling, so she begged her senior brother to teach her, and it took a year of hard work to perfect this light skill cultivation.

When her master came back from the Southern Regions, he was very happy to see her make such progress. Because of this incident, the senior brother also got a spirit sword that the master brought back from the Southern Regions.

Master often warned her, girl, if you can't beat it, run away, don't be ashamed.

After experiencing some things later, she realized that the master forced her to study in order to save her life.

She didn't understand it before, she was protected by her brothers and sisters on weekdays, so naturally it was not her turn to stand out for anyone.

Now that she is alone in Yanyang, her kung fu that can't be moved to the table really makes her anxious.

While Luo Li performed light skills, he wandered and thought of the old things of Qingluan Peak in the past.

She is thinking about Qingluan Peak, this time she has been walking for more than a year, the children of the senior brother can also walk, the second senior brother's elixir must have accumulated a lot, and the fourth senior brother's must have added a lot of skin ......

She didn't have night clothes, and now she had to wear a pothos gauze skirt to shuttle through the night. She didn't like the yarn for a ride, and she couldn't stand it anymore halfway through, so she tied the sleeves of her arms with straps. The clothes that King Mu prepared for her were also some of her daughter's gauze skirts. She rarely wears the clothes of these daughters' families, before in Qingluan Peak, she only had the clothes distributed by the villa, and the rules of the villa were strict, and disciples were not allowed to wear gold and silver, let alone clothes other than the distribution of the villa.

Years of habit have been formed, and now wearing this nondescript clothes, not only does she feel in the way, but she also feels a little awkward.

After another stick of incense, she arrived near the courtyard in the west of the city.

This is the courtyard that the master bought for her, it is not big, just three wings and a main hall, and the location is relatively remote. From the outside, this small courtyard is as ordinary as other courtyards in the alley, but it is different when you go in, the floor tiles, wooden beams, etc. are all very good materials, the master has always been a particular person, and the small garden in the courtyard is naturally exquisitely arranged.

From a distance, she saw that the lanterns in the courtyard were still on, and the corners of Luo Li's mouth lifted and she quickened her pace.

There was already a small figure in the courtyard who came out to greet her.

Luo Li fell into the courtyard, and the villain was extremely fast, running over and hugging her waist.

"Luo Li!" Xiao Anu hugged her tightly, really tightly, and Luo Li was almost out of breath.

"Little Anu, do you miss me?" Luo Li patted his head, little Anu has almost grown to the position of her shoulders, and in less than two years, it is estimated that she will be taller than her.

"You're back, where have you been all these days, have you been hurt?" asked little Anu in a trembling voice in brute language.

Luo Li blamed herself a little, she didn't know that Xiao Anu was so worried, the last time Xiao Bai found her, she thought that the master had told Xiao Anu about the matter.

"My sister is wrong, my sister is not compensating you. Luo Li replied to him in Northern Barbarian.

"Anu thought you had an accident, and the people in Anu Teahouse said that there was a Luo Li Gongzi who drowned in the Luo River, but that person was a man, and Anu knew that it was not you. Luo Li, where the hell have you been?" Xiao Anu asked eagerly, and suddenly he stared vigilantly at the eaves behind Luo Li, "Luo Li, there is someone." He sniffed keenly and added, "It's a woman." ”

"Well, leave her alone, it's out of the way. She took little Anu's hand and said, "You see I'm not hurt anywhere, let's go in and talk." ”

Little Anu let go of her and nodded, but still stared at the place vigilantly.

She took Xiao Anu's hand, walked to the inner room, and then briefly talked about her, of course, avoiding those dangerous things, only said that she found King Mu to recommend her in order to enter the calligraphy and painting academy, that's all.

Little Anu had been frowning, and when he sniffed Luo Li to make sure she was fine, he returned to normal.

He was rescued by Luo Li five years ago when he followed his master to the land of the Northern Barbarian Imperial Family, and Luo Li still remembers their first encounter.

The first time I saw Xiao Anu was in the Adamu Royal Family Hunting Garden. A child who looked to be only six or seven years old was chained and lay on his stomach like a dog on the ground with other hounds, and Luo Li saw that his scrawny body was covered with whiplashes and bruises, and the tattered deerskin covered his body was shocking.

Luo Li was standing beside the master, unable to take his eyes off him, and the child looked up at her faintly, and bared his teeth at her. But no matter how unbearable he was, no matter how sharp he was, Luo Li saw at a glance that his eyes were still as pure and hot as a child.

Rowley, who had never seen anyone treated like this, drew her dagger and tried to cut the chain around the child's neck. But where the iron of the Northern Barbarian is broken, Luo Li's behavior angered the child's owner, and the other party immediately let go of the hound to attack her. Seeing that Luo Li might be in danger, the master who was standing on the side finally made a move, and in just a moment, those hounds were all killed, and finally the master took out the royal token given to him by the Northern Barbarian King to shut up the Northern Barbarian nobles.

The master was kind-hearted and bought the little Anu with some silver, and the Northern Barbarian nobleman later ordered the master to be given a piece of parchment with the boy's name and identity written on it.

The child's name is Anu, and Anu means the wolf's child in the barbarian language. Little Anu was an orphan who had been raised by wolves, and he had been caught while this nobleman was hunting, and he couldn't even speak. It is precisely because he is a wolf child, the little slave is wild, with an extremely sensitive sense of smell and vision, and he can't do the work of serving people, so the Northern Barbarian nobles enslave him like a hunting dog.

That night, outside the royal tent, Master gave her parchment. But in front of little Anu and Master, she threw the parchment into the bonfire beside her.

"How can a mere piece of parchment make or break his life and death...... Master, the apprentice wants him to be free, he belongs to himself. Luo Li looked at little Anu and touched his head, with indescribable pity in his eyes.

Little Anu tugged at the corner of Luo Li's clothes tightly and couldn't speak.

"It seems that he intends to follow you, Li'er, since you saved him, you have to bear your share of responsibility. ”

Luo Li looked at the responsibility in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "Little Anu, do you remember why your sister came here from Qingluan Peak?"

Xiao Anu nodded obediently, and he stumbled in Kyushu dialect: "Luo Li, you want to go...... Academy of Painting and Calligraphy. ”

"Yes, the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, where all the painters live, but now my sister can't take you, can you wait for my sister for a while? When my sister finishes these things, I'll take you with me, and we'll continue to eat, drink and have fun everywhere." ”

He shook his head, his hands gripping Luo Li's sleeve, "Anu is going to be with Luo Li now." ”

"Anu, you have to listen to your sister, Master is coming back, you wait for him here first, my sister will come out to see you when she has a chance, okay? You can eat whatever you want, you can play whatever you want, but you must not cause trouble." Luo Li patted Xiao Anu on the shoulder, took out the letter in his arms and handed it to him: "Little Anu, you help me give this letter to those people in the Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Well, Anu will wait for Luo Li...... Come back and don't cause trouble. He replied to her again in Jiuzhou.

"Alright, help me pack some things. Luo Li walked over to the bookshelf, took some brushes and other tools that he was used to, and put them in the painting box.

Luo Li walked out of the courtyard with the painting box, and she said to the place where Xiao Anu was staring at just now: "Master Pei, since you came with you, don't come in vain, help me get it?"

A dark shadow fell in front of her, and Pei Ying took the painting box in her hand.

Luo Li quickly jumped away and dropped a sentence, "Look at you or I'm fast!"

Pei Ying was helpless and followed with a painting box. Two quarters of an hour later, the two returned to Orchid Garden, and Pei Ying followed Luo Li to put things into the study.

Luo Li didn't light the lamp, in the dark, she hesitated, but still opened her mouth: "Xiao Anu is my relative, he is still young, please don't embarrass him." ”

Pei Ying didn't say anything, turned around and went out.

Luo Li sighed and silently sorted out his painting tools.
