The treetops are high and the orioles fly out of the sky.

The sunset is close to the western mountains, and the night comes home.

The food on the table was returned to the pot for a few rounds, and in the end, even the oil was burned, even if it was fed to the yellow dog outside the door, it was not a good taste. Newly prepared dishes were set on the wooden table at dusk, but the people who were waiting were late. Holding it and flipping through the dozens of copper coins that had been finally found in the entire green shirt, Xia Xun had already begun to wonder if there was something wrong with his calculations. But after several calculations, he just couldn't find where the fork was. After all, with the foot strength of those five old men, the journey of more than 10,000 miles would only take half an hour at most, as long as they had that pointing compass in their hands, even if Xia Xun ran to the ends of the earth with Mo Xian to hide, they could find it.

But...

It's been a day, why haven't they found it yet?

"Don't wait, let's eat first. ”

"Here they are. ”

"Uh..."

Coincidental things, in fact, are such coincidences.

Just when Xia Xun gave up waiting, Mo Xian said that they were coming.

Since Mo Xian said that they came, then they came.

The words fell for a moment, and a little green mang arrived first...

"Bang Bang..."

The small blue bird flapped its wings and flew into the room first through the skylight of the teahouse, and landed lightly on the table in front of Xia Xun. The fluttering feathers shone lightly, and the tiny claws grasped the wooden edge, and the little blue bird became a little different from last night, it was the three turquoise playful fluff on its head, and now there were only two left. Moreover, the little eyes full of wisdom last night are now only stupid and stunned, and they have become normal.

"He's gone. ”

Seeing the appearance of the little blue bird, don't say Xia Xun, even Mo Xian knows that the wisp of consciousness is no longer in the blue bird's body. The mastermind is gone. Xia Xun pursed the corners of his mouth in disappointment and said, "Yes, I guessed that he wouldn't listen to me." He's always like this, he likes to show half of everything, hide half and let me calculate. Huh..."

Mo Xian moved his gaze to the door of the teahouse and said coldly, "Maybe they can help you." ”

"I hope so. ”

“......”

A bird flew outside the window, and I saw two diners looking at the empty door inexplicably, and the shopkeeper who was sitting on the edge of the teahouse account looked a little confused. After about half a pillar of incense, there were some sounds from far and near above the street outside the door.

The person the two boys were waiting for is finally here...

"Ahem... Hey, it's not okay if you don't recognize the old, you feel like your bones are going to fall apart when you move your body twice... Ahem. ”

"It's still the eldest sister's head, and the paper talisman dances like a tiger, not reducing the power of the year. ”

"Heh... If you don't have this ability, can the senior sister be the senior sister? In my opinion, it is just not less than the year? It should be better than the year. ”

"Shut up. ”

"Hehe, okay, let's shut up..."

"Yo, it smells so good. ”

"Hey, these two babies are still thoughtful, knowing that we have empty stomachs..."

"Come on, come on, senior sister sit. ”

"The store will have two catties of good wine!"

"Oh, okay!"

There were five old men, four men and one woman.

All the way to the sycophant, to the teahouse suddenly lively.

The listless shopkeeper also suddenly became energetic.

These old men are quite invisible, and when they entered the teahouse, they saw Xia Xun, Mo Xian and a table of dishes, they didn't even say hello and directly pulled the stool and sat down, and called the shopkeeper to serve good wine. However, the old woman seemed to be in a bad mood. Stunned eyes, fierce, as if anyone owed her hundreds of taels of gold. No matter how the four old men on both sides flattered and flattered, she still kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

Although she couldn't figure out the situation, anyone could see that the old woman was in a bad mood, and Xia Xun couldn't afford to add fuel to the fire, so she bent down and asked a few old men: "Senior, why have you been so long?"

The second old man glanced at Xia Xun and asked, "Oh, the meat is good... This is a freshly beaten pig, wow?"

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "Hey, the old man is so knowledgeable, this pork belly is an old pig I went to the mountains a few days ago, authentic game, you can't eat it elsewhere." ”

"No wonder it tastes so fragrant, come and try it, sister. ”

"No appetite. ”

"Uh... Hehe, that... Then let's take it lightly. ”

"You don't have an appetite for it, you can't hear it?"

"That's... All right. ”

“......”

Xia Xun's question sank directly into the sea, and the old men didn't bother to take care of it and ignored the past. Xia Xun seemed to feel that something was wrong, and his voice was a little louder and he asked again, "I said, why are you so long?"

“......”

The tone was strong, and the questioning voice directly overpowered the voices of the old men, and the old men stopped making noise at once. But the grilled rice that should be grilled, the vegetables that should be picked, no one paid attention to Xia Xun's questioning, and the atmosphere was very wrong. Seeing the reaction of several old men, Xia Xun confirmed the conjecture in his heart, these old men must have something hidden in their hearts.

He thought about it, and patiently repeated and asked, "Uncle, why have you been so long? Is there something wrong?"

"For a long time?"

The second old man has a strong temperament, and he was forced to ask by a hairy doll, he couldn't swallow this grievance.

After taking a big sip of wine, he used his chopsticks to point the bandages tied under his black linen robe, and snorted coldly: "Hmph! As the saying goes, you have to take a breath when you hang yourself, not to mention that uncle, I was beaten by that crazy woman who even urinated, can't I wipe my buttocks? Don't you need time to wipe my buttocks? Don't you need time to go into the city to grab medicine? You are happy to eat and drink spicy food here!"

The words are vulgar, but it can be seen that the second old man's mind is still very delicate.

He seemed to know that if he didn't give an answer, he wouldn't be able to get around Xia Xun's mouth, so he indirectly blamed Xia Xun for his recklessness last night. However, how smart is Xia Xun? How could he not see such an obvious bitter trick? He directly broke through the key points and said, "You didn't go into the city to find a pharmacy to get medicine. ”

"You said no, no, no?"

"You really don't. ”

"Oh?"

The second old man was stunned when he heard this.

Xia Xun was right, they really didn't go into the city, and they didn't go to the pharmacy to get medicine. It's just that he couldn't understand how Xia Xun saw it, and thinking that there was no obvious loophole in his words, the second old man said stiffly: "Nonsense! I don't know if I entered the city or not, and I don't know if I caught the medicine?" Could it be that I still have to tie up the doctor to question you and prove my innocence?"

"Your medicine. ”

"What medicine?"

"The medicine you applied is fresh. You can still smell the grass. ”

"So what?"

Looking at the chest that the second old man pointed at with his chopsticks, Xia Xun replied calmly: "The pharmacy in the city has always only sold dry medicine, and you can't buy fresh herbs, let alone fresh herbs that have not been boiled? It doesn't take much time to heal like this, no more than half an hour. But you are almost a day late. ”

“......”

The lie was seen through in a few moments, and the second old man was speechless at the moment, looking embarrassed. There was nowhere to spill the grievances, so I had to pick up a piece of thick meat and stuff it in my mouth to chew, and then pour a bowl of soju in a big gulp, and no longer talk.

"Ahem..."

I don't know if it's true or not, I coughed twice.

The ninth old man picked up the wine jar and poured the second old man's empty bowl full of soju, glanced at Xia Xun with a faint afterglow, and said, "Doll, you must have a conscience to be a man." Ahem... Our brothers have been running all night for the two of you, and the second brother has suffered a lot of injuries because of this. You don't ask about the cold and warmth, and you are still entangled, which makes people feel cold, right?"

"Uh..."

Xia Xun smiled awkwardly, and in a panic, he realized that he had been rude.

The five old men are the elders, he and Mo Xian are few, and people are still kind to him, no matter what, Xia Xun's words should not be so pressing. Thinking of this, Xia Xun hurriedly softened his expression, stood up, and took the wine vat from the hands of the nine old men...

"Uncle taught me a lesson, the kid is really rude. ”

With a sincere attitude, while talking, Xia Xun held the wine jar in both hands, walked around the round wooden table, and respectfully poured soju for everyone at the table, and continued with sincere apologies: "The boy grew up in the mountains, and he rarely had the opportunity to contact the outside world, and he didn't know too much about the world, so his temperament was wild. When he entered before, the kid saw that the second uncle's words were full of anger, and he didn't see any injuries at all, but he completely forgot his sense of proportion. Haihan. ”

The wind of words changed quickly and sharply, and the sonorous change was slow, which made people feel a little caught off guard, but several old men were also happy, as long as Xia Xun could move the topic away, he liked to say whatever he wanted.

The second old man drained the wine in the big bowl in one gulp, "Hmph, it's good to know your mistakes, serve wine to my uncle!"

"Hehe..."

Xia Xun walked to his side again, filled the big bowl with soju, and said with a light smile: "The second master has a good amount of wine, this soju has been aged for at least ten years, and there is no belching in the two big bowls, so it is a good amount of wine." ”

The second old man disagreed: "What are the two bowls? It's the jar in your hand, uncle, I can pour ten jars casually, and there is no drunkenness." ”

"Of course... Of course..."

Xia Xun smiled on the side: "A pair of vajra body, refining a hundred years old, the tenacity of Tianshu's muscles and bones, how can a little soju be the enemy?" No wonder when I was in the village, my grandfather often told me that if you want to drink, don't look for someone with a pure yang body to drink, otherwise, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, it will not be able to keep the secret." ”

“......”

Quiet.

The words were silent.

It's that no one knows how to answer Xia Xun's words, and no one wants to answer it.

In just one paragraph, Xia Xun laid three far-reaching foreshadowings in a row. One stroke is the practice practiced by the two old men. Erbi is his grandfather's connection to Chunyang. Sanbi is the last two words, "secret". If the three foreshadowings are separated and combined, this ordinary passage becomes a completely different meaning. And that is Xia Xun's true words, and his meaning should be: I know your identity very well, my grandfather's affairs have something to do with Chunyang, and you should know his secrets.

The peak turned around and went around a big circle, but Xia Xun still went back to the original point. The mind of eating should be gone, but the four old men still pretended to be reincarnated as evil ghosts, and kept eating with vegetables, adding vegetables to dinner, and then eating with vegetables, but they just didn't say a word. Mo was idle, the old woman was vicious, Xia Xun put the wine vat on the table and sat down again.

Looking at the appearance of several old men gobbling up, Xia Xun was also helpless, and powerless: "I said uncle, the gift that should be compensated, the kid has already paid it." Since you can come here, it means that you still have our senior brothers in mind. In this case, I would like to ask you seniors to tell the truth, it's really boring to hide it. ”

"Rip Pick..."

"You... What are you talking about? I don't understand. ”

"Chop..."

"Second brother, this fish is also steamed well, come to the fish belly for you. ”

"It's been a long time for the shopkeeper to come back with two catties!"

"Oh, okay. ”

“......”

The words drifted away with the wind, and they were treated as air again, Xia Xun was even more helpless, but he did not appear impatient.

After pondering for a moment, he sat upright, continued to look at several old men who were obviously hiding ghosts in their hearts, and continued patiently and lightly: "Seniors, it's too much to sell Guan Zi like this, right?"

The second old man asked knowingly, "What is it for sale?"

Xia Xun said calmly: "Last night, the Tiangang Fury Sun erupted for nearly a moment, and a moment of time is the final decisive moment between you and that female corpse. Success or failure, you must evacuate after a few moments, or you will not be able to hide your whereabouts, and you will be rounded up by the defenders of Shouchun. It is only 10,000 miles away from Shoushan, and it is only an hour at most with foot strength. The second master is the leader of the Pure Yang Tianshu Forging Body, and it was premeditated to receive a palm from the female corpse last night, so he can hurt the flesh and skin but he can't hurt the root, even if you add the time to collect medicine to heal the injury, you will not be more than two hours at most. But it took you a day. ”

With that, it stopped.

Xia Xun fixed his eyes on the angry old woman.

The old woman was displeased, pursed her eyes, and glanced at Xia Xun fiercely: "What are you looking at me?"

"Mother-in-law, do you remember what the kid said last night?"

“......”
