Chapter 59: Shen Xiaolan (2)
"Is this his sword?" Shen Xiaolan took it from the servant's hand and said.
"Yes...... "What has just been put into the warehouse, this is the only one. The servant lowered his head and replied softly.
"Okay. Shen Xiaolan held the sword in her hand, turned around and left the warehouse, still followed by the one-armed man. Shen Xiaolan had just taken a few steps when she suddenly said, "I don't know where that Ling Yan lives?"
The one-armed man glanced up at the other party and said, "The person who has just returned to the village should be in the wing room in the front garden." Shen Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully, and was just about to leave, when suddenly a voice stopped her not far away.
"Where is Xiaolan going?" Shen Xiaolan looked back and saw three middle-aged Confucian scholars walking towards the two of them side by side.
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle?" Shen Xiaolan looked a little surprised, in his heart, although several uncles are righteous brothers, they are all busy with their own affairs, unless they are celebrating the New Year, they rarely see them get together.
"Haha. When I had nothing to do, I came to Brother Ge for a drink. Would you like Xiaolan to come along?" Fang Zuimeng asked first.
When Shen Xiaolan heard this, her eyes rolled and she hurriedly said, "Lan'er won't go today, there are still some things." Then I'll lend Uncle Ge to you!"
"Miss......" The one-armed man saw Fang Zuimeng and the three of them coming together, and vaguely knew in his heart that something might be wrong with the other party. But when she heard that Shen Xiaolan sold herself so easily, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in her heart.
"It's okay, it's okay, Uncle Ge, you can go, I'll pay him back the sword myself." Shen Xiaolan ran a few steps quickly, stood at the gate of the garden, shook the sword in her hand, and said with a smile.
"This girl is still the same spirit. The three of them stepped forward, and Fan Li, the youngest, looked at the arch where Shen Xiaolan had disappeared and smiled. After all, Shen Xiaolan is the child raised by their brothers together, and it is already their greatest wish to be able to watch each other be happy every day.
"A few owners are more responsible, and the young lady ...... in terms of courtesy," the one-armed man explained to the three of them apologetically.
"Where Brother Ge speaks, Xiaolan is better than our own flesh and blood to a few of us, where can our own people speak two words. The person who spoke was Qiao Yunhe, the owner of the second village, and his words were recognized by others as soon as he came out.
"What is the matter with the three owners coming to find Ge?" the one-armed man retracted his gaze and looked at the three people in front of him and asked.
Wan Zuimeng's complexion became solemn first. "This is not the place to talk, Brother Ge, let's go to the room and talk!" The one-armed man couldn't help but start to get a little nervous when he saw the other party's reaction. After all, this is something that has never happened before.
The three of them followed Wan Zuimeng to the wine cellar of the villa, and after waving off all the servants, they sat down around the square table, Wan Zuimeng sent a jar of wine to the wall, filled it with the three of them, and then said: "Brother Ge, forgive me, just now in the second brother's room, Xiaolan was present, and I failed to inform him in time, and I hope for Haihan." ”
The one-armed man took the wine bowl and toasted Wan Zuimeng, and said, "The owners of the three villages gathered today, not just to drink the bar?"
Wan Zuimeng nodded, glanced at the two righteous brothers beside him, and said, "I just received a message from Qianyuan, and I returned to the villa and found people from the rivers and lakes who did not know how to come from!"
"What?" The one-armed man was startled, his brows furrowed, and he began to ask what had happened.
Wan Zuimeng then told what Qian Guanyun said today, and also told the worries of himself and others. Although the one-armed man in front of him is not one of his five brothers, he has been with him for eighteen years, and he has come to regard him as a brother. The one-armed man's real name is Ge Bufan, who is the fourteenth of the famous Lianyun Fourteen more than 20 years ago, and his skills are extraordinary, in the past year, Lianyun Fourteen was rampant in the rivers and lakes, and was later subdued by Shen Aojun, who was the first in the world at that time, and since then Lianyun Fourteen has retired from the rivers and lakes, when the Shen family was destroyed, Ge Bufan happened to be in Izumo Villa (Shen family), lost an arm in the melee, passed out, when he woke up, Izumo Villa had turned into ashes, Ge Bufan struggled to survive from the ruins, and happened to find Miss Shen in the cellar, which is now Shen Xiaolan, and rescued it, when he returned to bury the bones of Izumo Villa, he met Zhuge Qingtian who had finished healing, learned the whole story, and then took Shen Xiaolan and Shen Aojun to take refuge in Guili Villa. Half a year later, Shen Aojun's old injury recurred and died, Zhuge Qingtian was nowhere to be found, and Ge Bufan has guarded Shen Aojun's tomb until now. Such a man with affection and righteousness is the existence admired by several people.
"Eighteen years...... Ge Bufan sighed as he drank all the wine in the bowl. With endless vicissitudes.
"A few village owners, how are we going to deal with it?" Ge Bufan exhaled lightly, raised his head and asked, "Do you need to go out of the village first to catch someone and come back and ask?"
"Don't be reckless. Qiao Yunhe raised his hand to stop Ge Bufan, and said: "Now the shot will only startle the snake, I will wait for the three of us plus Brother Ge, the four of them will take turns to guard, first calm down and take a look, the other party has not yet entered the village, I can't figure out our strength, they should not know that we have noticed it now, as long as they dare to enter the village, we will catch them all, if things are beyond our expectations, it is not too late to ask the academy for help." ”
Hearing this, Ge Bufan drank another glass of wine and nodded in agreement. Perhaps seeing Ge Bufan's worries, Fan Li said with relief: "Brother Ge, don't worry, although my brothers are old and useless, if someone dares to be unfavorable to Xiaolan, my brothers will definitely fight with their lives!
"That's what the fifth brother said!" the other two echoed.
Ge Bufan nodded silently.
......
"Ling Yan, are you here?" Shen Xiaolan asked all the way, and finally asked where Ling Yan lived. Standing in front of the chamber, he shouted loudly, and although the servants around him heard it, none of them came forward.
'How did you find this?' Ling Yan sat at the desk, listening to the shouts outside the door, his brows furrowed, and he said, "This person is really reluctant, so he doesn't say anything and thinks that he is not there!" Thinking about it, Ling Yan turned his head and continued to read.
Shen Xiaolan shouted for a while, secretly wondering if Ling Yan was not in the house at the moment, but just as she was about to leave, she felt that Ling Yan had nowhere to go in this villa, so she stepped forward in a few steps and slammed the door.
"This person is really!" Ling Yan in the house saw that the shouting stopped, thinking that the other party had gone back, but just as he was about to get up, there was a knocking sound in the gatehouse. Is it tolerable or unbearable!" The corners of Ling Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he walked over with a little anger. As a result, when she opened the door, Shen Xiaolan raised one arm high, obviously slamming the door.
"Hey?" Shen Xiaolan saw Ling Yan open the door, and immediately said happily, "You are really in the house!"
"Miss Shen, what's the matter?" Ling Yan rubbed his forehead and forcibly suppressed his anger.
"Look, what is this?" Shen Xiaolan didn't pay any attention to Ling Yan's anger at all, and handed the long sword in his hand to the other party.
Ling Yan looked up and shouted violently: "This is ...... My sword?" looked at Shen Xiaolan again, only to see a smile on her face, a 'you praise me' expression. "How did you get there?"
Shen Xiaolan hid the long sword behind her with a swish, and said with a smile: "Of course I will help you get it back!"
"Get it back?" Ling Yan was a little surprised, the person in front of him was able to retrieve his sword from the owner, which was really incomprehensible to Ling Yan. 'Is this really the daughter of a farmer?'
"Don't ask so much, follow me!" Before Ling Yan could react, Shen Xiaolan grabbed the other party and was about to leave, but Ling Yan hurriedly got rid of it.
Is it okay if you don't know each other at all: "Miss Shen, you are ......?"
"Practice the sword!" Shen Xiaolan turned around and said puzzledly: "This time the sword also helped you get it back, you shouldn't refuse, right?"
Ling Yan frowned slightly and asked, "You helped me get the sword back, just so that I could play the sword for you?"
"People are boring......" Shen Xiaolan didn't understand Ling Yan's meaning at all, and explained with a small mouth.
"......" Seeing this, Ling Yan only felt that the world was hot and cold. As soon as he turned around, he walked back into the room and said, "I'm not interested in it, Miss Shen is ...... by herself" and was about to close the door.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaolan hurriedly grabbed the door panel and said, "What are you doing?
This touched Ling Yan's sore spot, although the long sword was just an ordinary long sword, it was indeed a gift from his mother on his birthday. For many years, he has been by his side and has never left, so after this sword was taken away, he showed an abnormal boredom in his heart. At this moment, this sword was taken back by Shen Xiaolan, and it was right in front of her eyes, could she really say something she didn't want?
"Come on, come on. Shen Xiaolan still persevered in pulling the door panel. Keep inviting Ling Yan out. Ling Yan was also entangled.
Looking at the sword in the other party's hand, he thought about the people at home. Ling Yan then spoke, "Do you know martial arts?"
"Me?" Shen Xiaolan paused, Mu Ran nodded and said, "Naturally, it will." ”
"You helped me get the sword back, how about I help you feed the move?" Ling Yan looked at Shen Xiaolan and said what he thought. This is what he thinks is the best way, it is estimated that Shen Xiaolan will not care about the money, and if he wants to repay him, it is naturally acceptable to feed him, and he will naturally gain something from having a peer who understands martial arts, even if it is a feeding move.
"Hahaha......" Shen Xiaolan covered her mouth with one hand and smiled: "You feed me, I'm afraid I'll be knocked down by me in three or two hits!"
"You ......" Ling Yan frowned when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "This girl has such a big mouth! Seeing that she is the same age as me, even if she is amazingly talented, she has the strength to fight! ”
"I'll regret underestimating me," Shen Xiaolan muttered softly, seeing that Ling Yan hadn't heard it, she continued: "Then let's try."
"Please!"
