Chapter 7: The Shadow of Youth

Guiguzi went out, and Lou Yun had no choice but to lie down and rest, because he was really tired. However, these days when he chops wood and bathes, he feels that his internal strength has become stronger after these experiences, and he has become more proficient in using it. Fortunately, he completed the agreed things, and Mr. Guigu had no reason to refuse to diagnose Qiu Yuling, Lou Yun was relieved, and soon fell asleep, he slept very peacefully and sweetly, as if he had forgotten all his troubles.

Qiu Yuling sat quietly on the edge of the bed and looked at him, Lou Yun had suffered so much for her, although he was easier to endure hardships than ordinary sons of the family, but the boy on the bed was only one year older than her, from the hardships and dangers on the way into the valley to the chopping and chopping wood in the past few days. His hands were full of scars, but he never asked her to touch them, because his blood was poisonous, and he was afraid of hurting her. When she thought of Lou Yun's tired appearance and hands full of wounds, her heart was really broken. Qiu Yuling lay silently on the edge of the bed and gradually fell asleep.

Mr. Kitani watched everything in the room from the window, and a meaningful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. After that, he walked straight to the attic next door to the bamboo house.

"Brother Yun is going to have dinner when he wakes up. The sweet voice of Qiu Yuling came from his ears, Lou Yun opened his eyes, and Qiu Yuling put a plate of fruits and a fish on the table, and the fish exuded a fragrance that promoted appetite.

Lou Yun sat up and asked, "Yuling, did you do this?"

Qiu Yuling shook her head and said, "It's not that Grandpa Ghost made it, but Ling'er will learn from Grandpa Ghost again, and when Ling'er learns it, Ling'er will make it for Brother Yun to eat." ”

Lou Yun put on his clothes and sat down at the table, and Mr. Guigu also walked in.

Mr. Guiya picked up two pieces of fish meat for the two children and put them in their bowls, and Mr. Guigu smiled and said, "Come! Come! Come! Try the old man's craftsmanship." ”

The fish melts in your mouth, and it is fat and juicy.

Qiu Yuling said while eating: "The dishes made by Grandpa Ghost are really delicious." ”

Mr. Guigu smiled and said, "That's right, it's a pity that my big apprentice has good qualifications and can learn everything quickly, but he can't learn my cooking skills." With a sword, he can cut through the apple without hurting the tofu underneath. But when I start cooking, I can cut it with my hands when I cut it. When cooking, you either forgot to put salt, or you added too much salt. Either that, or just burn the paste. In short, how stupid and stupid you have to be. The second child is better, he has dabbled in my skills, and he has learned quite well. This dish can barely be cooked. I haven't eaten Er's dishes for many years. ”

Lou Yun asked while eating, "So which disciple of Mr. Tianyu is Brother Tianyu?"

Mr. Guigu replied with some anger: "That rebel is the second child, he is getting ahead outside now, and he hasn't come back to see me as an old man for a long time." And his Tianying Society has so much tribute every year, but he didn't send me a tael or two. If he dares to come back, I will tie him to a waterwheel and pour him for three days and three nights. ”

Thinking of Tianyu Gongzi, Qiu Yuling asked, "Ghost grandpa, why does Brother Tianyu always wear a mask, is he ugly?"

Hearing Qiu Yuling's words, Mr. Guigu immediately covered his mouth and smiled, his appearance did not have the temperament of an old man at all, Mr. Guigu replied: "It's not ugly, and the country is beautiful." Okay, don't expose his shortcomings, and ask him yourself later. By the way, the old drunkard's sword and his original love object are on you. ”

Lou Yun knew that the old drunkard Guiguzi was referring to was naturally Xiaoyaozi.

Lou Yun hung the autumn water card and the jade bell around his waist, Lou Yun took off the jade bell and handed it to Mr. Guigu, Mr. Guigu glanced at the autumn water card on his waist and said: "You have to take this This is the token of your Qiu family's owner, and it is also the key to the Bird Tomb." And its casting method is much more difficult than the Peacock Feather, if you lose it, I can't make a second one without your grandfather's help. ”

Lou Yun carefully took the Qiushui card back into his baggage.

Lou Yun replied: "Mr. Xiaoyao has no money to wrap around, so I gave him fifty taels of silver, and he gave us this sword and this pair of bells in exchange." ”

Guiguzi looked at the Qiu Yu Bell on the side, then looked at the bell and shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I can understand that he sold the sword to you for drinking, but this pair of bells is the love of him and her original wife, and he will not leave him." And we, old friends, lose their temper when they want to take a second look. I gave it to you so generously this time, I think he didn't mean to drink this time. ”

Lou Yun muttered, "What's that?"

Guiguzi looked at Qiu Yuling.

Qiu Yuling was a little confused, and said questioningly: "Me?"

Guiguzi nodded this time and said, "That's right, Qiu girl is you." ”

Qiu Yuling: "Why? I've never seen Mr. Xiaoyao before. ”

Guiguzi pointed to her bright red cloak and said, "You put the cloak on and look in the mirror." ”

Qiu Yuling obediently put on her cloak, and at this time she was just like when she went out, wearing a blue and white top and clean white trousers. Paired with a pair of beautiful blue and white embroidered cotton shoes. On his head he had two cute bun heads, and two long ponytails dangling from his waist. A flaming red cloak was draped over her body.

Lou Yun also asked strangely: "What's wrong with the rain bell? It's beautiful! There's nothing wrong with it." ”

Qiu Yuling also looked at herself in the mirror, her hand fiddled with her long hair and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, ghost grandpa." ”

Guiguzi suddenly realized: "You see that I am all confused, and you will understand when I show you something." ”

Guiguzi took out a slender box from the cabinet, and the box contained a painting. Guiguzi opened the scroll, and the whole painting was presented in front of the three people.

This is a picture of a beauty, the dress of the woman is almost the same as that of Qiu Yuling at this time, the same blue and white clothes, a pair of bun heads and two long ponytails, with a bright red cloak.

Lou Yun asked thoughtfully, "Could this be Mr. Xiaoyao's original wife?"

Mr. Guigu closed the painting and said: "Your kid guessed right, this is indeed the old drunkard's original wife, I met the old drunkard when I was young, and this painting was painted by his wife on her sixteenth birthday, and the old drunkard asked me to paint it." Saying that, Mr. Guigu sighed and continued: "Hey~ It's a pity that his face is thin, and his wife died at a young age. I did the math for the old drunkard, who hit his wife when he was young. Both of his wives died young. Now his fortune has changed, but unfortunately he has no heart for himself. He gave the two of you the same bells, probably seeing the shadows of him and her wife in their youth. ”
