Chapter 15: To each his own mind

On the way down the mountain, Zhou Qing also knew the old man and the girl.

The old man's surname was Yang, and he originally had two sons and a daughter. One of the two sons went to other places to do business, and the other joined the army as a small soldier.

This eldest son was also killed by thieves in his early years, and his body was not even found. The second son was not killed in battle, but is said to have provoked a slightly more powerful person in the army, and finally the body was brought back by his fellow villagers.

Yang Laohan's wife, after seeing the body of his second son, fell seriously ill, and after two snowfalls last year, she swallowed her breath.

Now only this little daughter is left, thanks to picking some herbs in the mountains, plus she also knows a little craft, making a few benches, bamboo baskets or something to sell in the market, so that she can live.

Now the youngest son Yang Hui is also good-looking, and many people in the township come to his house to get married. But after thinking that he couldn't break it, Yang Laohan wanted to find a son-in-law to come to the door, otherwise his youngest daughter would have been married a year ago.

Yang Laohan took Zhou Qing and Xue Baisheng to sit at home, although Yang Laohan is not very rich, but he is not like a poor family.

He was talking about a thatched hut, which was actually quite decent, the home was clean and clean, and there was even a Taishi chair made of spruce wood. However, compared with a large family like the Zhou family, it is really dwarfed.

Zhou Qing could see that Yang Laohan's ancestors should also be rich and noble, and in his generation, it is estimated that the family foundation is about to be clean.

In addition, his eldest son was murdered in business, and I am afraid that he completely ruined the inheritance of his ancestors.

But Yang Laohan still has a bit of the demeanor of a big family when he talks and does things.

First of all, he made a pot of tea for Zhou Qing and Xue Baisheng, which was boiled with well water just now, and the tea leaves had a faint aroma, I am afraid that it was a good thing that he had always cherished.

With the help of Yang Laohan and letting his youngest daughter cook a meal for Zhou Qing and the others, he deliberately killed a rooster and didn't say a few words in his mouth.

If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid you must have to find an excuse. For example, when Zhou Qing saw the neighborhoods killing chickens, he either said that the rooster couldn't lay eggs, or that his hens laid too few eggs and ate too much food.

Xue Baisheng got such treatment, and the evil aura on his body was much less.

In these days, he no longer worries about being chased by the people of the government, and now he has no way to continue to hurry, but he is relaxed and chooses to live here in peace for a few days.

Taking advantage of the fact that Yang Laohan's father and daughter were busy, Xue Baisheng whispered to Zhou Qing and began to ask.

"I want you to give me the martial arts of the Nine Heavens for two days. If not, I'll kill the father and daughter!"

Xue Baisheng smiled, looking a little gentle. But when Zhou Qing heard these two words, he felt a chill in his bones.

"I'll think clearly, with such a profound martial arts, with my qualifications, it's difficult to peek into the mysteries.

But you said you would let me go.

Since you are also an old-timer in the rivers and lakes, I hope you will be the talker. ”

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment before responding to Xue Baisheng.

"As long as you are honest, I passed on your martial arts, and you are half my disciple, no matter how vicious I am, I will not kill you." ”

Zhou Qing took a few deep breaths, and then began to pick up chopsticks to eat.

Xue Baisheng smiled faintly, he originally planned to leave Qingyang County today, but unfortunately Zhou Qing's attitude towards the father and daughter gave him a new plan.

If he threatens Zhou Qing with his life, I'm afraid Zhou Qing will definitely not play any tricks with him again.

After the darkness darkened, Yang Laohan and Zhou Qing chatted a few words about the things on the rivers and lakes while eating.

This Yang Laohan inquired many times, hoping to know what sect Zhou Qing and Xue Baisheng were.

Xue Baisheng's eyes changed somewhat, but when Yang Laohan chatted a few more words, his defensive heart was lowered.

"This hero walks all the way to the rivers and lakes, and his family must also have a certain background. I remember that the old man Liu in that town, he had a nephew who was a chivalrous man, and it was said that he had to take out at least 100 taels of silver from his family a year.

I don't know if this one hundred taels of silver is really enough for him to travel for a year. ”

Yang Laohan spoke in a very soft voice, for fear of angering Xue Baisheng.

"What is this, if you stay in a good inn in Nantian City in the Nanbang region for one night, then at least one or two taels of silver will not be on you.

What friends from the rivers and lakes go to an ordinary restaurant in the city to eat, at least five taels of silver are gone.

One hundred taels, I'm afraid that even in Qingyang Town, it will only be used for half a year. However, if the people of the rivers and lakes are naturally sects and gangs.

If it is a high status, it is natural to take two or three hundred taels of flowers in a year. ”

Xue Baisheng saw this old man Yang's thoughts, so he casually said what he had seen and heard in the rivers and lakes. First, he ate refreshed today, and his mood was a little better.

Come, his previous fierce appearance is really scary. Now chatting with Yang Laohan for a few words, how much Yang Laohan is less afraid of Xue Baisheng and more in awe.

Yang Laohan is a smart man, and he knows that this Jianghu person will also be restrained by the government when he kills people. Now that he hears that Xue Baisheng is not as terrible as he imagined, he will not tell outsiders about the things of the day.

"I really can't imagine that this walking in the rivers and lakes actually costs so much silver. But if you become a hero, I'm afraid there will be a lot of silver.

I think that although Zhou Qing's little brother is still young, his martial arts are not bad, and if he can be half a hero in the future, he will definitely be able to become a hero.

The villain got the life-saving grace of the two heroes today, and he is grateful, but there is really nothing at home, and it is difficult to repay it.

If Zhou Qing's little brother doesn't dislike it, the villain is willing to marry the little girl to the little brother.

In this way, the villain can be regarded as at ease. ”

What Yang Laohan said was direct, but looking at him was also simple and kind.

Zhou Qing's cheeks were flushed, there were few people in this town who were married at his age, but it was not impossible. But he was not half distracted by the Yang Hui girl, so suddenly, he couldn't help but glance at Xue Baisheng cautiously, but he didn't dare to resist.

Xue Baisheng smiled, he had been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, how could he not know what this Yang Laohan was thinking about.

"Although I am Master Zhou Qing, I have always disciplined him to practice martial arts, but it really makes him rarely communicate with women.

Since Brother Yang has such good intentions, I think my disciple should also accept it.

Besides, your little daughter is also quite a beauty, so it can be regarded as cheap for me, hahahaha......"

Zhou Qing is now more and more confused about what Xue Baisheng is thinking, just now he opened his mouth to kill Yang Laohan and his daughter, but now he is talking about brothers and brothers, and talking about marriage.

"Snow hero, don't say that, it's a blessing for my old man and little girl. In the future, Zhou Qing's little brother will be on the rise, and he will let my Yang family ancestors shine!"

Yang Laohan was very excited when he heard Xue Baisheng's words, if Xue Baisheng praised his little daughter a few more words, I am afraid he would have to kneel down and thank Xue Baisheng.

After chatting a few words again, Yang Laohan couldn't help but ask where the silver of the heroes on the rivers and lakes came from, and probed Zhou Qing's bottom a little.

Zhou Qing didn't say a few words, and let Xue Baisheng say it all. This Xue Baisheng is a person, and he has seen more people on the market than this Yang Laohan, and under the excitement, Yang Laohan almost forgot to boil the soup for Xue Baisheng.

Seeing that Yang Laohan was still chatting with Xue Baisheng, Zhou Qing sat at the door and looked at the direction of Taiping County.

After all these years, he has never left the town far, nor has he ever left Taiping County. Now the people in that place are probably thinking about how to catch him now, but in this foreign land, they feel a little more at home.

An azure dress floated in front of Zhou Qing's eyes, with a faint fragrance of Zhilan. Zhou Qing looked up and saw that it was Yang Hui.

This Yang Hui seems to have just washed her body, the ends of her hair are wet, her eyes are smart, and Zhou Qing has never seen any beauties.

At such a glance, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Yang Hui covered her mouth and snorted softly, and hurriedly walked into her room.

"You see, the little girl is afraid that she is shyness when she hears us talk about it. ”

Yang Laohan pointed to Yang Hui's back and said with a smile, Xue Baisheng also laughed, and glanced at Zhou Qing during the process.

Zhou Qing suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him, and when he looked back, he happened to look at each other with Xue Baisheng's blood-colored eyes.

This night, Zhou Qing and Xue Baisheng lived in the same room. That Xue Baisheng drank the decoction, and his body was much better. Even if he was lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, he still had the sword in his hand.

If Zhou Qing escapes like this, although it is possible to get rid of Xue Baisheng, the father and daughter of the Yang family will inevitably be poisoned by Xue Baisheng.

Zhou Qing was helpless, he didn't want others to die because of himself, so he had to follow Xue Baisheng's wishes.

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, the sound of slaughtering the old duck came from the courtyard.

Zhou Qing secretly said in his heart: "This old man Yang is also polite, obviously the family relies on these chickens and ducks to lay eggs in exchange for money, but now they are all used by Xue Baisheng to make up for his body."

If he knew that Xue Baisheng was just using their father and daughter to threaten him, he didn't know how he would feel. ”

In the past two days, Xue Baisheng has been treated by Yang Laohan, and he has also combed his body a few times, which is obviously much more beneficial than a few days ago.

At this twilight moment, Yang Laohan took his daughter Yang Hui to the town to get some medicinal herbs for Xue Baisheng. Seeing that no one was disturbing him now, Xue Baisheng took Zhou Qing to the back of the house and asked Zhou Qing to teach him the martial arts without a bad point.

Zhou Qing's heart is very complicated now, and he can't figure out Xue Baisheng's temperament. If he finished practicing today, Xue Baisheng might let himself go, but it would be difficult to say that Yang Laohan, father and daughter.

"Practice, don't ask me to force you. Then Yang Laohan and his daughter are about to come back, I don't want this martial arts to be seen by outsiders. ”

Xue Baisheng sat on the bamboo chair and said lazily to Zhou Qing.

"Got it, you don't want to kill anyone. For me, it's useless to keep this martial art, I'll give it to you if you want it!"

Zhou Qing said, immediately opened his legs, two strokes stretched, and he disrupted his grandfather's martial arts moves. Originally, it was the last three moves, but he put it at the forefront.

And that Xue Baisheng couldn't take his eyes off it, when he saw that the order of the moves Zhou Qing used today was completely different, his eyes actually showed a strange brilliance!
