Cheng Sifang saw that Zhuge Liang's watermelon was very fat, so he asked: "Mr. Kong Ming, why is your watermelon so good?" Zhuge Liang smiled: "To plant watermelon, you have to plant it on sandy soil in order to grow a big, sweet, and sour watermelon." So saying, the boy took a few watermelons from the melon garden, cut them into slices, and tasted them with everyone. When everyone tasted it, it was delicious, and they hurriedly said: "Mr. Kong Ming, I hope to buy some watermelons from you and sell them elsewhere." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "I'm afraid it's hard to obey my fate." Cheng Quartet was stunned: "Why?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw more than a dozen people coming from a distance, and when they arrived in front of the grass house, one of them said loudly: "Mr. Wolong, let's taste your watermelon again!" Zhuge Liang stood up, saluted everyone, and said: "Eat the melon well, and leave the melon seeds." So he asked the boy to take out the watermelons from the melon garden and distribute them among the people.

It turns out that the watermelons planted by Zhuge Liang are very delicious, well-known far and near, whether it is through Longzhong, or to Longzhong as a guest, they have to go to Zhuge Liang's melon garden to taste fresh, Zhuge Liang also has some income, in order to lie in Longzhong. After everyone ate the watermelon, they left some money and things more or less, and said goodbye to Zhuge Liang. This is not the first time these people have come, and Zhuge Liang has also become accustomed to it, and ordered the boy to wash the melon seeds left by everyone, and then spread them out and dried them.

Cheng Sifang was stunned: "Why does Mr. Kong Ming have the interest of drying melon seeds?" Zhuge Liang said: "Many farmers in the neighborhood have come to me to ask for melon seeds for planting, if I don't stay, when they come, I will have nothing to give them." The crowd laughed, "I see." ”

Cheng Sifang rarely met a person who knew his hometown, and he talked happily with Zhuge Liang until late at night before returning to the camp to rest.

Cheng Sifang left, Zhuge Liang said in his heart: "I can't imagine that the legendary Houwangzhai really exists, that Nuwa mending heaven stone really exists in this world, tomorrow I will ask this Cheng boss again to see if he knows about Nuwa mending heaven stone." ”

Zhuge Liang chatted with Cheng Sifang for a day, but he was also a little tired and lay on the couch.

After a long time, in the dead of night, everyone in the village has fallen asleep, and the people in Longzhong have also fallen asleep. The breeze is gentle, the frogs are chirping, and the air is full of tranquility.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in the night, walking extremely fast, obviously a martial arts master. This man passed by the tent of the people outside the village, and brought a gust of wind to blow the tent.

The person sleeping in this tent is Yang Ji, Yang Ji has learned a set of "hurricane legs" leg method, and he is very accomplished in light work, and he is naturally very sensitive to the sound of light work. The man skipped past Yang Ji's tent, how could Yang Ji not know? He turned over and jumped up, his face darkened with surprise, and said in his heart: "This person is so high! How can such a high-ranking person come to this small village?"

The people in the rivers and lakes were very alert to this kind of thing, Yang Ji got up quietly, ran out of the tent, and saw a black-clothed person walking in front of him like a gust of wind, walking in the direction of Wollongong. Yang Ji was shocked in his heart, the sound he heard just now, but the man in black had already run a distance of twenty steps, such a light skill Yang Ji really had never seen before, Yang Ji saw that the person was walking fast, and he didn't have time to inform the others, so he hurriedly chased after him, if he was one step late, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with that person.

Yang Ji chased, and at first he was only twenty steps away from the man, but after chasing for a while, the distance gradually narrowed. Yang Ji is very curious, you must know that "hurricane legs" can be regarded as the top light skill on the rivers and lakes, Yang Ji has practiced hard for many years, and he thinks that his light skill attainments are not the first in the rivers and lakes, and he must be ranked in the top five. And the light skills of the man in black seemed to be still above Yang Ji, and suddenly Yang Ji's competitive heart was amused, and he used all his strength at the moment, accelerated on his feet, and rushed away like flying. In this way, the place where Yang Ji passed was like a hurricane, blowing the fallen leaves on the side of the road into the air.

Rao is like this, the distance between Yang Ji and the man in black is still getting farther and farther, Yang Ji was taken aback, knowing that this person is definitely not an ordinary person. After chasing for a while, the man in black had disappeared from Yang Ji's eyes, Yang Ji secretly shouted that it was not good, this person's light skills are so good, his martial arts must not be weak, and Zhuge Liang's current situation is bound to be dangerous.

When the man in black arrived at the grass house where Zhuge Liang lived, he saw that the doors and windows were closed, so he jumped into the wall, and then fiddled with the window a few times, then removed the lock and jumped into the house from the window, his movements were clean and neat, and he was extremely skillful.

Seeing Zhuge Liang sleeping on the couch, the man in black stepped forward with an arrow and put a dagger on Zhuge Liang's neck. Zhuge Liang woke up and saw this situation, and his heart couldn't help jumping. Before Zhuge Liang could speak, the man in black shouted in a low voice: "Don't make noise! or I will kill you!" The voice was extremely strange, and I didn't know if it was a man or a woman. Although Zhuge Liang was taken aback, he was not surprised, and asked: "I have no money, no treasures, I don't know what you want from me?"

The man in black said: "I want you to record the ancient book where Houwangzhai is located." Zhuge Liang listened to it and smiled: "I lent the ancient book to Xu Yuanzhi, if you want it, just look for him." Although he couldn't see the face of the man in black, Zhuge Liang knew that the man in black frowned, and only heard the man in black ask, "Who is Xu Yuanzhi?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Xu Yuan's direct name is Xu Shu, he is my friend, or he swims in the lake, or hides in the mountains, who can know where he is? But when he wanted to come, he appeared, you might as well stay here with me for a few days, he will definitely come to return my ancient books, anyway, it is not a rare item, and it will be given to you at that time." ”

The man in black shouted, "When will it be?"

The man in black raised his voice and woke up the boy sleeping in the outhouse, the boy walked in, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Sir, it's so late, what's the matter?" But seeing Zhuge Liang being held by a knife on his neck, he couldn't help but be surprised, turned his head and shouted: "Come ......" only one word was called, and the man in black waved his hand back, and flew Zhuge Liang's shoes out, hitting the back of the boy's head, and the boy fell to the ground without making a sound.

Zhuge Liang was shocked, and the man in black said: "Don't worry, just knock him out, there is no danger to his life." After a pause, he said, "I only need your ancient books, and I don't want to harm your life." Zhuge Liang said: "It's really in Xu Yuanzhi, if you don't believe it, you can kill me with one sword." ”

Zhuge Liang knew that the man in black would never kill himself in order to get the ancient book, so he spoke angrily. The man in black really let go of his hand and said, "Okay, after Xu Yuanzhi sends the ancient book back, I will come to ask for it again." Zhuge Liang smiled: "It will definitely be given then." The man in black sighed and was about to go out, but he heard a loud "bang", and the door of the grass house was forcibly opened.

"Who are you?"

The person who came was none other than Yang Ji!
