The cotton curtain opened, and Meng Erdan strode in.

"Niu Ye! business is booming, Wishing you prosperity ah......" he said loudly, hugged his fist at Niu Ye, picked a place against the wall, and sat down.

"Thank you Brother Meng for your words!Please sit down!" Niu Ye owed his body, and also bowed his hand to Meng Erdan.

Meng Erdan lived in the old woman's courtyard, only across a dirt road from Niu Ye's tavern, and often came to drink during the day, and by the way, he inquired about the news of the "Soul Chasing Sword". When I move around a lot, I am naturally familiar with each other, and I talk more casually.

"Brother shepherd, please come to the pot of wine. Second sister-in-law, the mutton is stewed! Thank you first......" Meng Erdan sat down, didn't wait for Niu Ye to speak, shouted to the back kitchen, and hugged his fists again.

Although he was rough and rough, his demeanor was always very elegant. Recently, I have arranged a place to live in the opposite courtyard, and it is not disputed that it is a place of wind and moon, but it can be regarded as stable. In addition, I was nourished by the peony at night, and in addition to getting up later every day, I saw people and spoke more and more politely.

The sheep herd muttered in reply, squinted his eyes, dragged one leg, and walked out with a copper kettle, first made tea for Meng Erdan, and then turned around and brought the wine bowl again. Before the mutton came out of the pot, Second Sister-in-law You stood in front of the pot table, knocked on the edge of the pot with some impatience, turned around and picked up a rolling pin, smashed it on the board, and rubbed it in her hand.

Meng Erdan didn't care about Second Sister-in-law You's rude movements, he grabbed the wine jar by himself, smashed the sealing mud, poured a bowl of wine, picked it up and drank half of it, put down the wine bowl, raised his head, and arched his hand towards Niu Ye, and asked, "Niu Ye, I don't know if there is any news recently?"

Although it was not early, the weather was getting cooler, and the idlers often came late, and the store was quiet.

Niu Ye sat behind the counter, of course he knew what Meng Erdan meant, he shook his head noncommittally, and his two eyes looked into the distance motionlessly.

The store fell silent.

Meng Erdan didn't ask any more questions, turned his head, and shouted at the shepherd: "Brother, the mutton is not good yet, then let's have a plate of dried tofu first, you have to have some wine......

In fact, in the old woman's courtyard, of course, there is someone to cook. Moreover, the food, tea and wine there are extremely delicate and delicious, far from being comparable to the vulgar cooking skills of Second Sister-in-law You.

Naturally, that meal is not cheap.

However, it also varies from person to person.

To be honest, in this bitter and barren place, there are not many people like Meng Erdan who simply live in that courtyard.

Because, there is not so much silver.

Four flowers in spring, summer, autumn and winter, plus a suspected fairy Mengru, these stunners in the world, almost no man can resist.

How many people have been separated from their wives for the sake of a parent.

Even so, how many men are still happy with it......

Just like those idlers who run to the Niu Ye Tavern all day long to brag and chew their tongues, what does it matter if you really want to be able to live happily in the opposite yard for a while, even if you come out and die?

It's just a matter of talking, idlers drink a bowl of wine, often they can't even afford a piece of dried tofu with wine, and they want to be happy in the opposite yard? I'm afraid they can only go in a dream.

Daydream.

If you have a little spare money, you can go in once in a while, and as soon as you step into the broken door, your legs will be weak and your soul will go out of your body, and you will suddenly feel that this life has been in vain.

There are also those merchants and magnates who come and go, although they are rich, more are just curious and greedy, see Mengru, and then pick a flower to sleep peacefully, as soon as the day dawns, they get up and go on the road, and never see each other again.

For this kind of person, of course, the old woman is a bamboo pole that can be knocked on, and she must knock it accurately and ruthlessly. Even if you have a cup of tea, you have to pay a few taels of silver to drink it.

Meng Erdan was different, as soon as he came, he helped the old woman protect the field, turned around and simply moved in, and almost settled in Peony's house. He is polite and generous. Peony is comfortable to serve, there is still a reward at every turn, the old woman still owes him favors, such good conditions, naturally there is no reason to ask for food money, lying on the peony bed, and when the little girl is sent in, she grabs the chopsticks and opens her belly to eat.

What's more, the old woman also instructed the little girl who cooked from time to time to bring the food into the peony room according to Meng Erdan's taste, and she had already made a lot of adjustments.

But even so, Meng Erdan often went to Niu Ye's tavern to drink.

He was very polite to everyone, the idlers came, they hugged their fists again and again to say hello, and they grabbed their own wine at every turn, poured it for the idlers, asked for two appetizers, and he didn't move two chopsticks, and let the idlers eat in a blink of an eye.

After coming and going, the idlers in the town gradually admired and jealous Meng Erdan, and were still a little attached to it. I couldn't see Meng Erdan for three days in a row, and the idlers blew the cowhide, and they all felt that there was a lack of taste.

Meng Erdan also seems to like this kind of scene.

From time to time, he also inquired with Niu Ye and the idlers about the news of the legendary mysterious "Soul Chasing Sword", although until now, he has not found any valuable news......

Second sister-in-law You stood at the door of the back kitchen, still carrying the rolling pin, she didn't make a sound, smashed the sheepherd who was leaning on the door frame in a daze, and glared at him fiercely.

The shepherd was coldly beaten, and when he turned around, he met with the blood-red eyes of Second Sister-in-law You, and was really startled, and was about to speak, but saw Second Sister-in-law You scoop up a large piece of mutton from the pot, rest it on a big wooden pier, pick up a machete like a door, and chop it up.

It turned out that the lamb was cooked.

The shepherd didn't ask any more questions, and a pair of eyes that always squinted upwards motionlessly watched Second Sister-in-law You chop the meat, walked in and served it on a tray, and came out and put it in front of Meng Erdan.

Meng Erdan screamed "chatter", grabbed a rib casually, brought it to his mouth, and looked up at Niu Ye again.

Niu Ye was still sitting there, staring into the distance with his eyes, like a stone statue......

Idlers entered the door one after another, and the store gradually became lively.

Before you know it, the sun is setting in the west.

Niu Ye was still sitting behind the counter, motionless and looking into the distance.

Outside the window, the snow had not yet melted, and it was white, cold and lonely.

No one saw it, and a fog rose in Niu Ye's sunken eye sockets......

The snow scene in front of me gradually blurred, and another snow scene in the depths of my memory became clearer and clearer.

A young man who was no more than six or seven years old, holding a half-broken arrow in his hand, stood at the gate of the Sun family's compound.

The door is closed.

The boy stood on the snow, shivering.

There are still tears on his face.

In the next few days, he lost his grandfather and father, and such a catastrophe could not be borne by such a young boy......

My father was only brought back in the second half of the day.

He was spotted by several villagers who had gone up the mountain to collect firewood.

After lying on the snow for most of the day, the whole person has become stiff.

The cold weather also preserved the scars in front of him.

The body is incomplete and shocking.

Naturally, the white wolf was not able to get it back.

My father didn't find the white wolf, and he really didn't stand and walk into the grass hut again.

He was carried in.

The mother, who was covered with iron, did not shed tears or faint this time. She silently looked at her father's round eyes for a long time, was stunned for a long time, and suddenly stepped forward and slapped her father's already stiff face......

The boy stood beside him in a daze, his face pale and trembling.

Suddenly, the mother stopped, turned sharply, bent down, and hugged the boy tightly in her arms.

The boy subconsciously stretched out his two arms and hugged his mother as well. He felt that his mother's body was colder than ice, and his mother was shaking more than him......

The boy stared at the black-painted door, motionless.

Gradually, two lines of tears flowed again.

He raised his arm suddenly, wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his coat, and his two hands that were red from the early cold grabbed the half of the broken arrow, gritting his teeth, trying to break it.

Weapons for martial artists, bows and arrows for hunters, are called second life, his grandfather and his father, both hunters, and martial arts, naturally, the weapons in the hands of the bow and arrow are cherished, on weekdays, as soon as they are used, they are carefully wrapped up, hidden in a place where he can't find it.

Now, the family has suffered a series of accidents, and the boy trembled in his mother's arms for a long time, and suddenly, he broke free and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find it.

The mother seemed to be out of her body, standing beside her father in a daze, unaware of the abnormal behavior of the young man in front of her.

The boy searched for a long time, but found only half a broken arrow.

He took it in his hand and shook it, and suddenly wiped his tears and walked out of the grass hut without looking back......

Although the shaft of the arrow is thin, it is very tough, and the boy gritted his teeth and folded it hard for a long time, but the shaft of the arrow still continues.

The young man was helpless, and suddenly saw a pile of stones rising high on the snow beside the road. After pondering for a moment, he walked straight over, stretched out a small, red almost transparent hand, picked up the thick snow, dug out the stone, put the shaft of the arrow on a stone, held it with his left hand, and raised another stone with his right hand, and smashed it with all his might.

Finally, the tenacious shaft of the arrow was broken.

The young man picked it up in front of him, looked at it for a while, stretched out his hand and pulled out a smooth stone under the snow, sharpened the section of the arrow shaft and the arrow for a long time, stretched out a small hand and touched it, nodded as if he was very satisfied, tilted his head and thought for a while, hid the arrow with a little bit of the shaft of the arrow, held a stone in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the black-painted gate.

The door is closed.

The boy grabbed the stone and smashed it against the gate.

With a "creak", the door opened, and a junior walked out, squinting at the young man with slanted eyes, and shouted in a broken voice: "Where did the wild child come from, get out!"

The boy puffed out his mouth, and without a sound, the cat got up and drilled into the crack in the door.

Hou Sheng was furious, grabbed the young man's collar, picked it up like a chicken, and threw the young man far away on the snow outside the door, and scolded: "Get out!"

The thin body of the young man flew out lightly, fell to the ground, rolled again, snorted a slurred word, got up from the ground, the expression on his face was very painful, but without saying a word, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes, and lowered his head, and the calf rushed into the afterlife.

Seeing this, the latter sneered: "Heh, it's really a tough ......" while laughing, rubbing his hands, kicked the boy out.

The boy snorted again in pain, but still did not say a word, frowned, got up again, hid one hand behind him, and rushed into the latter again.

"Ha! don't die......" Hou Sheng smiled again, stretched out his hand, grabbed the young man's chest, lifted it up, leaned in front of him, and asked with a sneer: "Boy, do you really want to die?"

The boy struggled, but remained silent.

"Heh, it's a mute......" Hou Sheng pondered, stretched out his arm, and lifted the boy up, ready to throw it away.

Suddenly, the young man grabbed the bun of his hair with one hand, and the hand hidden behind him smashed down at once.

The stone was still in his hand.

Hou Sheng screamed, his arm weakened, and the two fell to the ground together.

The boy took the opportunity to get up and slipped through the crack in the door.

Hou Sheng covered his head and staggered and ran in.

Another descendant walked out of the weeping flower gate with a blanket in his arms, and the descendant who followed behind saw this, endured the severe pain, and shouted: "Stop that wild boy! Stop that wild boy......

Seeing this, the offspring holding the blanket kicked the boy to the ground, and the latter caught up, held down the boy, broke his hand, grabbed the stone and threw it aside, raised his hand and gave the boy a few slaps, and stretched out a foot to trample the boy under his feet.

The boy lay on the ground, unable to struggle, humming in his mouth, but still not speaking.

Hearing the movement, Sun Datou also walked out of the weeping flower gate.

When the young man saw Sun Datou, he didn't know what to hum in his mouth, and struggled desperately, and was kicked and stepped on by the latter life.

Seeing this, Sun Datou was about to ask a question, but the descendant who had been hit with a stone on his head rushed ......to say: "Master, I don't know where this wild child came from, dumb!

Sun Datou listened, smacked his lips with doubt, and thought: "Wild child, dumb?" he said, bent down, took a closer look, and suddenly said, "No, isn't this the one--the doll of the upside-down door......

Is it the child of the upside-down family? Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then kicked the young man again.

"Go away!" Sun Datou pushed Hou Sheng away, grabbed the young man with his hand, lifted the young man up with both arms, looked at the blood stains on Hou Sheng's head, sneered, and said: "Good boy, there is really a ......"

The boy struggled, but still didn't speak.

The latter took a step forward, bent down and said to Sun Datou: "Master, this is a dumb ......"

Dumb? Sun Datou glanced at the young man, as if he was talking to himself, "I know this doll that is upside down, isn't it dumb?" As he spoke, Sun Datou suddenly shook the young man who was lifted in the air twice, and asked sharply: "Boy, what are you doing at my house, say, what are you doing?" Do you want to avenge your useless old man who slammed the door upside down? Say ......?"

The offspring who was holding the blanket also came up, laughing and echoing: "Heh, hairy boy, it's really beyond your strength......

Sun Datou glanced at Hou Sheng, and sneered again.

The young man suddenly twisted his body, his two arms hugged Sun Datou's neck, and a face full of tears smashed down Sun Datou's head.

"Ah!" A miserable scream, Sun Datou's mouth suddenly opened wide, and the two descendants were shocked, hurriedly pounced, and desperately pulled away the young man and threw him on the ground, but saw that Sun Datou's fat neck, a stream of blood spurted out violently.

Looking at the young man again, I saw that his eyes were wide open, his teeth were gritted, and he was biting an arrow in his mouth.

The sharp arrow was connected to a short arrow shaft, more than two inches long, and the young man actually hid it in his mouth!

No wonder he kept silent, he was beaten for a long time, and the young man's mouth had already been scratched by arrows.

Hurriedly holding Sun Datou, he saw that Sun Datou's eyes were empty, looking at the sky, his wide open mouth flickering, like a dying pike thrown on the beach.

The boy took the opportunity to get up, bent his waist, and got into the weeping flower door.

The blood on Sun Datou's neck was still coming out, and the afterlife who hugged the blanket looked at it for a long time, and suddenly reacted and reached out to cover it, but heard a "snort" sound in Sun Datou's throat......

The descendants who received a stone on their heads were also in a hurry, covering their heads, getting up and squatting down for a while, turning around a few times in place, at a loss.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke came out of the main house, Sun Datou's residence.

Hou Sheng hurriedly ran two steps forward, and when he looked back, he found that the boy had long since disappeared.

He took a few steps and made a step, flew to the square door, kicked open the door, "whew", a flame burst out, and then he was horrified, hurriedly retreated, and hurriedly turned around the yard a few times, suddenly, as if thinking of something, hurriedly ran to a room stacked with miscellaneous things to find tools, stepped in, and saw the body of the white wolf in the middle of the house.

When I looked closely, the white wolf's head was missing two ears......

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the fog in front of Niu Ye's eyes suddenly disappeared.

Outside the window, the mountains are still mountains, and the snow is still snow.
