Chapter 188: Xiao Family Villa
After coming out of Bianliang City, Xiao Tian and Su Jia headed in the northwest direction. According to Su Jia's meaning, the night Su Jia broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, he found the whereabouts of Chen Shijin in Bianliang City. Now that Chen Shijin has become the general of Mengyuan stationed in Tongguan, Su Jia naturally wants to continue to march in the northwest direction.
However, just out of Bianliang City, there is still a long distance from Tongguan, although Xiao Tian has always been worried about Su Jia's mentality of wanting revenge, but now Su Jia's mentality is quite stable along the way, Xiao Tian can naturally feel a lot more relieved......
But they had just left Bianliang City and separated from the friends they had made in Bianliang City one by one, and at this time the two of them were also a little lonely in their hearts.
"There are only two of us left...... Xiao Tian muttered as he walked, "Brother Tang and Brother Zichuan have both gone north, and Brother Huang Ji is still in Bianliang City, I don't know what his current situation is?"
Su Jia walked on Xiao Tian's right, looked ahead with his eyes and said: "The case of the Nangong family has caused quite a stir in Bianliang City, it is estimated that there will be a lot of movement in the city in the two days since we left...... However, I believe that Ji people have their own natural appearance, if there is really anything else, Brother Huang Ji should be able to get out of the way......"
Su Jia didn't guess wrong, in the two days they left Bianliang City, Bianliang City was indeed a sensation. In order to save the framed Huang Ji, the people in the city rebelled, but fortunately, Zuihou Nangong Lu and the people of the Xiangfu came forward, and the matter was calmed down, of course, Huang Ji also left Bianliang......
After two days of walking, it is already a long distance away from the suburbs of Bianliang, and the mountain roads here are gradually increasing. Surrounded by layers of greenery. The birds are full of fragrance and flowers, not to mention the revival of spring back to the earth, at least it can give people a sense of pleasure coming out of the haze.
Xiao Tian walked slightly ahead of Su Jia. Taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air, the whole person was very relaxed, and the pace of walking gradually accelerated, as if he couldn't wait to go somewhere.
Su Jia saw Xiao Tian's somewhat excited look, and asked inadvertently, "Ah Tian, what's wrong with you, you seem to be very excited...... weishenme you go so fast. Do you know the way here?"
Xiao Tian looked back at Su Jia with a smile, and then said happily: "I'm about to go to the place I want to go the most, of course I'm happy!"
"Familiar?" looked at Xiao Tian and also sold Guan Zi in front of him. Showing an innocent and simple silly boy posture, Su Jia couldn't help but laugh softly, "Hehe, do you know where this road will go?"
looked at Su Jia smiling in front of him. Xiao Tian's face turned slightly red at first. Then he replied, "To be exact...... Probably the place I want to go back to—"
"Go back......?" Su Jia seemed to guess Xiao Tian's thoughts, and only said.
Xiao Tian continued to smile and said, "Yes, it won't be long before I will come to my house, which is my original Shimen Xiaojia Villa!" Xiao Tian said, his excitement became more and more intense.
"No wonder you're so happy, not long after you left Bianliang City, you're not sad but happy......" Su Jia also smiled on the side. "You also deliberately took this road, it seems that you have thought about going back to Xiaojia Villa from the beginning. ”
"Yes. It turned out that I said that I would definitely return to that place after I became good at martial arts......" Xiao Tian looked up at the front and said with longing, "Senior Brother Xiao Bo, Ah Qi, Xue Cui, and my mother and my master, I haven't seen them for more than a year, I really want to get to them soon." ”
"Yes, then you are so good......" Su Jia first laughed, and then a trace of gloomy sadness appeared on the whole person's face. Su Jia knew very well in her heart that her life experience was somewhat similar to Xiao Tian. When he was still Li Yiyao in the Wind Chasing Faction, Xiaohong, Xu Shuang, Wu Xian, Lu Tao, and even Chen Shijin, who had not rebelled, how happy they were when they were together every day in the past...... But time passed, Chen Shijin turned against the water and joined the enemy, and he had no choice but to leave the division because of various opportunities. What's more, the current self can't go back to the Wind Chasing Sect no matter what, looking at Xiao Tian's happy state that he will soon return to his hometown, Su Jia's heart can't help but feel a little sad.
Xiao Tian was happy in front for a while, and Zhun Tou suddenly noticed Su Jia's gloomy and sad expression, as if he had guessed what Su Jia was thinking, so he immediately turned around and comforted Su Jia and said, "Jia'er, I know that you must have remembered what you were doing in the Wind Chasing Sect again, I'm sorry...... However, I also said that don't think too much about the preconceptions of the past and try to look forward. Just like me, although I was kicked out of the school by my master when I was a child, I was not too annoyed by this, but worked hard every day to return to Xiaojia Villa one day, right? If you are still in a bad mood, when you return to the villa later, I will introduce my friends to Jia'er and you know. Our Xiaojia Villa has always been very hospitable, Jia'er you can make so many friends in Bianliang City, I believe it will be the same in the villa!"
Seeing Xiao Tian constantly caring about herself, Su Jia's heart was also very gratified, although she was worried in her heart, but she could have a confidant to enjoy and share with her along the way, and Su Jia's heart was also very satisfied. So, Su Jia smiled slightly, and echoed: "Xiexie you, Ah Tian, you don't have to worry about me, I can think of it...... But when you say that, I'm really looking forward to meeting the friends you've been talking to me all along. Su Jia's voice was not loud, but she could hear that Su Jia was also full of anticipation.
Xiao Tian listened and continued to say excitedly: "Let me tell you, my junior brothers and sisters are interesting. Senior Brother Xiao Bo is a reasonable person, and his martial arts are also the highest among the disciples of our villa, if Jia'er wants to try his skills with him, it's okay; Xiao Qi's junior brother Aqi is a 'cynical' guy, a bit like me, but he is still quite righteous, and many times he can think of some interesting ideas, just like Jingmei; as for Xuecui...... Sister Xuecui is very kind-hearted, it turns out that when I was in the villa, she often took care of me, and I have always treated her as if she were my sister......"
"It seems that your brothers and sisters are quite interesting......" Su Jia smiled again.
"My master is a bit one-eyed, but he is the first to speak...... You are also clear. My master Xiao Juxian is one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts today, Jia'er, you have already met Lu Huan, Murong Zun and other martial arts grandmaster seniors along the way, Zaijian can also have a long ......experience," Xiao Tian continued to smile and said. "And my mother, she has always been very strict with me, although I was disobedient when I was a child and was often punished, but my mother is also a knowledgeable person, when you see my mother, maybe ......" said this. Xiao Tian seemed to realize something, and his words suddenly stopped.
Su Jia also heard that Xiao Tian wanted to take him to see Xiao Tian's mother. One mention here. Xiao Tian and Su Jia blushed at the same time, their eyes also glanced to the side, and they also understood something about the relationship between the two in their hearts.
"Total ...... Total...... In short, to Xiaojia Villa. Jia'er...... It will definitely ...... There was a surprise ......" when Xiao Tian spoke. is also a little stumbling, thinking of what he said just now, Xiao Tian's heart is "fluttering" now.
Although when mentioning Xiao Tian's mother's relatives, Su Jia's first reaction was to think of her own mother-in-law who had not been found so far, but when Xiao Tian said that he would take himself to see Xiao Tian's mother-in-law, Su Jia's heart was also nervous, and her mind could not calm down at all, and she did not look at Xiao Tian for the time being.
"Good...... Okay. Jia'er, don't think about it. We...... Let's hurry up......" Xiao Tian's words relieved the awkward atmosphere, and then continued to walk forward.
Su Jia also calmed down a little, and then followed Xiao Tian to continue walking forward, but the tension in her heart just now still did not completely subside......
After walking through two ravines, one of them opened up the "heavenly road" and bypassed more than a dozen jungle bends, like a "heavenly ladder" embedded in the horizontal mountain. In fact, there is no "ladder", just a tall stone staircase that extends from the foot of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain.
"It's here—" Coming to the foot of the stone ladder, Xiao Tian quickly ran to the mouth of the stone ladder in a few leaps, and then turned his head to Su Jia and said excitedly, "This is the entrance to the stone ladder of Xiaojia Villa!"
Seeing Xiao Tian's excitement, Su Jia smiled again, and inadvertently sped up some steps and came to the mouth of the stone ladder.
Looking up, although the number of stone stairs is not too much, it is not as high as the staircase in the "one-way mountain" in Plum Blossom Villa. But because this stone staircase is inlaid in the mountainside, there are not too many obstacles on both sides of the surrounding area, and there are hazy clouds and mist in the upper half, looking up at a "ladder" embedded in the clouds, so it is not an exaggeration to describe.
The stone staircase bends a little halfway up the mountain, but when you look up at the foot of the mountain, you can still see the gate of the villa. At first glance, the gate is not very big, there are two stone lions standing at the door, and the disciples guarding the door seem to be only working on the inside of the door......
"It's still the same place as before...... Xiao Tian looked up and sighed, and then continued, "Let's go, Jia'er, I can't wait to go back and have a look-" So, Xiao Tian said to Su Jia behind him, and then walked up the stairs quickly.
Su Jia was not in a hurry, she looked up at the Xiao Family Villa, which was almost "trapped" in the deep mountains, and muttered softly: "This is the Xiao Family Villa, right?" I didn't expect that the owner of the village, Xiao Juxian, and Xiao Junxian's predecessors could also become one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts, and they all said that the Xiao Family Villa he managed was full of talents, maybe the Xiao Bo senior brother that Ah Tian said just now was really powerful...... But that's right, even the worst Ah Tian is improving so fast now, it seems that this is indeed the case......" Su Jia zuihou teased herself, and then squinted and smiled.
"What's the matter, Jia'er, come up quickly?" Seeing that Su Jia had been standing at the foot of the mountain in a daze, Xiao Tian turned around and shouted.
"Oh, it's coming—" Su Jia responded, and then walked up the stairs as well......
Due to the slight bend of the stone ladder halfway up the mountain, it did take Xiao Tian and Su Jia some time to go up. However, walking up from the top half is like passing through the clouds, and it gives people a sense of liberation. When the two of them arrived at the gate of the villa, Su Jia looked back at the distant mountain scenery hidden by clouds and mist behind her, and she really had the feeling of being in an ethereal fairyland.
Up close, the gate of this villa is indeed not very large. Looking at the two stone lions in front of the door, Xiao Tian continued to point and smile: "Jia'er, look, this is what I told Jia'er when I was in Liusha Town, Aqi and I burned the ears of a stone lion to black, and now this trace is still here." ”
Su Jia looked closer. That's true, and then he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that you were really naughty when you were young......"
Xiao Tian saw that there was no one guarding the door, so he looked inside—Xiao Tian's expression was very peaceful. It doesn't seem to be much different from the original.
Xiao Tian seemed to have seen an acquaintance, so he made a "shhhh
Su Jia knew that Xiao Tian must have thought of some ghost idea, since he met Lu Jing and them, Xiao Tian, who had always been honest and honest, had also become a little ghostly and weird like Lu Jing in some aspects. Of course, it is also possible that Xiao Tian has returned to this "long-lost home" and wants to surprise the original brothers and sisters. Su Jia didn't say anything at the door, just looked at Xiao Tian's actions with a smile on her face.
There were a few disciples of Xiaojia Villa cleaning up in the courtyard at the entrance. Xiao Tian saw that they were facing away from the gate, so he tiptoed into the compound and walked behind the two disciples silently. Then he patted a disciple on the shoulder, and then the whole person dodged in an instant, hiding behind a big tree next to him.
"What are you slapping me for?" a disciple swept the floor, feeling someone tapping him on the shoulder. So he asked.
And the disciple beside him didn't know anything. So he simply responded: "No, where did I shoot you?"
"Then how did I feel like someone was filming me just now?" the previous disciple asked himself.
"It's okay to have a convulsion, it's been a ghostly ...... all day," the other disciple replied casually, and then swept his own ground.
After the two of them exchanged a few words, they didn't say anything more and continued to sweep the ground. Xiao Tian saw it behind the big tree, snickered, and then walked out lightly and patted the heads of the two people. Then he hid again.
"Hmph, Ah Tian has also learned badly from Jingmei......" Su Jia watched Xiao Tian's every move at the door. I also accidentally laughed softly "poof-"
"Why are you beating me again?" This time, the disciple who was beaten spoke again.
"You beat me, right?" the other disciple retorted, "Revenge on me, and hit someone ......on the head," he said, and the two of them became a little "competitive".
Xiao Tian looked behind the tree any longer, maybe there would be some "little mess", so he simply walked out from behind the big tree, and then greeted the two who were sweeping the floor: "It's been a long time, Ah Zhao, Ah Qiang-"
The two of them heard a very familiar voice, and looked back at the same time, only to see Xiao Tianzheng looking at him with a smile.
"Are you...... Ah Tian—" They seemed to recognize it, so they cried out happily, "Oh, stinky boy, it's been a year, why did you come back?"
"Wasn't you kicked out of the sect by the master, why did you come back at this time?" the other disciple also said excitedly.
"What, I'm not welcome?" Xiao Tian asked rhetorically.
"Why, you're an iron buddy...... Hey, by the way, what's the matter with the scar on your face?" the disciple asked again, looking at the scar on Xiao Tian's face.
"Oh, you said this, this is a long story...... Xiao Tian touched the scar mark on his face that was stabbed by Su Jia with his hand, and then asked with a smile, "By the way, I've been out for a year, how are the big guys doing in the villa now?"
Another disciple replied, "Fortunately, Senior Brother Xiao Bo's martial arts have reached another level, and Master has considered booking the position of the owner of the village to Senior Brother Xiao Bo in advance." ”
"What about Ah Qi and Senior Sister Xuecui, how are they?" Xiao Tian asked again.
"They...... They've been thinking about you all day—" The disciple in front of him continued, "Just a few days ago, Senior Sister Xuecui was still offering incense to keep you safe in the temple, and you have blessed you......"
"I didn't expect that after more than a year of going out, Senior Sister Xuecui still cares about me so much......" Xiao Tian first sighed to himself, and then said, "Since they are all fine, now they are all called out——"
"That's right, I'll call the senior brothers and sisters out now, you wait for ......" said that, the two disciples excitedly dropped the broom at the same time, and shouted towards the backyard together: "Hehe, the senior brothers and sisters are coming out soon, Ah Tian is back, Ah Tian is back-"
Xiao Tianle looked at his former senior brothers, thinking that his senior brothers would be very happy to see him for a while.
Su Jia saw that Xiao Tian had appeared, and it was time for him to come out, so he walked in from outside the gate. Walking to Xiao Tian's side, Su Jia asked with a smile: "It seems that Ah Tian, your martial arts are not good, but your popularity is not bad——"
"Then you don't need to say?" Xiao Tian replied with a smile, "In the villa, I have a good relationship with all the senior brothers......
"Then I want to meet ......" Su Jia looked at the harmonious appearance of Xiao Tian's family, and her heart was also full of anticipation.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian seemed to think of something, and his tone changed slightly: "Oh, by the way, there is another person, I haven't mentioned it to you before Jia'er." He is also a disciple of Xiaojia Villa, named Xiao Wuzhong, and is the son of the predecessor of the former owner Xiao Rencong. But for some reason, he didn't stay in the villa very often. I don't have much contact with him, but I've heard that his personality is a little cold, and a little arrogant...... Of course, these are all said by the master, and since he is the son of the previous owner, I think he should also be very good......"
Su Jia didn't take it too seriously, she just looked at the bits and pieces in the courtyard of the gate of Xiaojia Villa with curious eyes, looking forward to seeing the brothers and sisters Xiao Tian said for a while...... (To be continued......)
