The next day, before dawn, Aunt Zhou got up early to work and personally cooked and kneaded the dough and chopped the filling, which turned out to be to make dumplings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

According to the customs of Lianzhou, people who go out need to eat dumplings before leaving, taking the meaning of "bending and bending" to ask for good luck. Yesterday, Aunt Zhou heard that Zhou Shaobai and his party were going to hurry up this morning, and they couldn't stay for one more day, so they couldn't stay for another day, and they could only comfort themselves, turning all their feelings of longing into the power of kneading dough, and they wanted to make a delicious dumpling for their son.

If you want to say that Aunt Zhou is really capable, it won't take long for the dumplings to be cooked.

At this time, Zhou Shaobai and the others had also gotten up, and came to the dining room after washing.

Aunt Zhou had already served the dumplings, and the dinner table was full of aroma. When Li Yuankang heard it, he immediately sat down and swallowed one, with hot tears, but he also praised: "Aunt Zhou's good craftsmanship, I want to eat two more bowls!"

Aunt Zhou laughed: "Don't say two bowls, two pots are available!"

Zhou Shaobai saw his mother smiling happily, and his heart was a little relieved. He was about to leave only a day after returning home, and he was always worried about his mother's upset.

At this time, Mu Ningzhi also pushed the door in, Zhou Shaobai saw her, his face was hot, and he remembered the incredible and dreamlike scene last night.

Mu Ningzhi glanced at him, his eyes were still as cold as ice. Zhou Shaobai knew that she was resentful in her heart, so she retracted her gaze, lowered her head and ate silently, but she was burned with tears.

"Lady, are the dumplings already wrapped?" Zhou Chaozong smelled the fragrance and pushed the door in, and when he saw that the table was already served, he sat down and ate.

Who knew that Aunt Zhou came up and dragged him up: "Get up! That's not yours, yours hasn't come out of the pot yet." ”

Zhou Chaozong muttered dissatisfiedly: "As soon as my son comes back, I will be a rag that people dislike." ”

Everyone laughed, and after a while, a few large bowls of dumplings on the table were all in the stomach, and the time for the road came.

When they came to the gate, Jin Jiu and his men had already prepared the horses and brought them in. Seeing that her son was about to leave the house again, Aunt Zhou finally couldn't help but shed tears and complained to Zhou Chaozong: "Look, when you were young, you ran around, and it was rare to see a figure for a few months, and now your son is the same as you, and he just met and went out again, and he blames you!"

Zhou Chaozong hurriedly shouted injustice: "It's just that you keep counting me down, but Shaobai has nothing to do with me!"

"Hmph, I don't care, I'll blame you anyway!" Aunt Zhou snorted angrily, and then stepped forward to tell her son, "Shaobai, you must be careful on the road." ”

Zhou Shaobai saw Li Yuankang looking at him with a smile, and said a little embarrassedly: "I remember, mother, you and your father should also take care, and Uncle Nine, when I come back, I will come to see you again." Also, I heard that the Hexi area is not peaceful now, Daddy, you must be more careful. ”

Zhou Chaozong said: "Don't worry, Hexi is still quite far from here, if there is really a war, we will go to our relatives in advance, and come back when it is too peaceful, it will be fine. ”

Zhou Shaobai nodded: "That's fine." By the way, Dad, Uncle Qin...... How's he doing?"

Zhou Chaozong's face sank: "How could you think of asking him?"

It was just the thought that popped into my head. ”

"He's been having a lot of trouble lately, he's had a lot of trouble. However, it is said that he saved his life by using a lot of silver, and now he has moved elsewhere and is no longer in Lianzhou. Zhou Chaozong said slowly.

Zhou Shaobai nodded, and said in his heart, it seems that Ziling's expectations are true, so he said: "Daddy, it's not too early, we have to go." ”

Zhang Xiaofeng also said beside him: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, thank you for your hospitality." Shaobai will be handed over to us, please relax. ”

Aunt Zhou wanted to say something more, but Zhou Chaozong grabbed the conversation: "Okay, let's talk about it when it gets dark, and you can't leave the city gate as soon as it is closed." Shaobai is not a child anymore, he has to go out to experience and experience. At his age, I don't know how many places I've traveled to be on my own. ”

"Hmph, you know how to blow. Aunt Zhou gave him a blank look, and then said reluctantly, "Then you should be more careful on the road." ”

"Don't worry, father, mother, ninth uncle, I'm leaving!"

Zhou Shaobai turned over and got on the horse, Zhang Xiaofeng and when they saw this, they also turned over and got on the horse, and arched their hands and said: "Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, take care, say goodbye!"

When they reached the bend, Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but look back, only to see his father and mother supporting each other, stretching his neck to look this way, his heart was sour, and he quickly blinked his eyes vigorously, and finally held back his tears.

A few people walked along the streets, and after a while they went out of the city gate, where there were already many people waiting to enter the city as they had been yesterday.

Since I went out of the city gate, I went on the official road, which was shaded by green willows on both sides of this official road, and the breeze came slowly, which was very cool.

So the four of them galloped on horseback, and ran out for ten miles, and the sun was getting hotter, and the horses were sweating, so that the horses could rest slowly.

Zhang Xiaofeng put up a pergola and looked around, and saw that the terrain here was gentle, and there was no one else except them, so he reined in his horse and said, "Uncle Mu, I have something to do, and I still need to worry you to make a decision." ”

Mu Ningzhi said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaofeng told him what he thought yesterday and asked, "Uncle Mu, what do you think?"

Li Yuankang next to him said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang, don't say anything more, let Miss Mu decide for herself, and I'll do it." ”

Zhou Shaobai also nodded: "Yes, Senior Brother Zhang, since you said yesterday that Miss Mu is in charge, then let her be all up to you." ”

The three of them looked at Mu Ningzhi together, she slightly opened her lips and said, "This matter is very good." ”

Zhou Shaobai was stunned: "Wait, why ......"

Zhang Xiaofeng nodded: "Uncle Mu is really the same as I thought." ”

Li Yuankang shook his head: "Miss Mu, he wants to find the Five Poisons Zen Master alone, do you really think this is appropriate?"

Mu Ningzhi shook his head and said, "Naturally, it's not appropriate. ”

Now it was Zhang Xiaofeng's turn to be surprised: "Uncle Mu, what do you mean?"

Mu Ningzhi looked at the three of them, his eyes were like scraping bones, and his eyes were like scraping steel knives: "I'll go to find the Five Poisons Zen Master, and you go to Chang Baicao." ”

The three of them were taken aback and said in unison, "No!"

Mu Ningyi raised his hand to interrupt them: "Just now, you all said that you wanted me to make a decision, but now you want to go back on your word?"

The three of them didn't expect such a result, and they were speechless for a while.

I only heard Mu Ningzhi say: "It's a good way to divide the troops around, as for the danger, if the disciples of Xiyun are afraid of danger, then don't go down the mountain and go back to cultivate, so as not to be ridiculed and insulted by the prestige of the sect." ”

"This ......" Zhang Xiaofeng hesitated and said slowly: "Uncle Mu, I listen to you." ”

"Good. Mu Ningzhi nodded and asked Li Yuankang and Zhou Shaobai, "What about you?"

A few people just said that they would take Mu Ningzhi's words as the standard, but now they are lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot. Li Yuankang smiled bitterly and said, "It's up to you, I didn't expect Miss Mu to come to such a hand, what a miscalculation." ”

Zhou Shaobai looked at Mu Ningzhi, his throat moved, and finally said, "Since you have already thought about it, then do it." But the four of us are divided into different forces, in case something happens, how can we contact us?"

Mu Ningzhi took out a map from his bag, slowly unfolded it and said: "You see, Qiao'an is east of Lianzhou, and Shouyang, Liyang, and Qingyang are all south of Lianzhou. ”

She pointed to a place on the map and said, "This is roughly in the middle of the four places, and in seven days, we will meet here." If anyone is absent, then those who have already joined together go to him. ”

Zhou Shaobai looked at the place that Mu Ningzhi pointed to on the map, and read: "Nanjiang Town." ”

Zhang Xiaofeng nodded: "Uncle Mu considers Zhou Xiang, then after seven days, everyone must gather in Nanjiang Town." ”

Li Yuankang smiled: "No one is missing! But don't worry, if anyone is missing, I will find him." ”

Zhou Shaobai smiled when he heard this: "If we don't have you, we will also find you, don't worry." ”

So he continued to discuss, Zhang Xiaofeng went to Shouyang, Li Yuankang went to Liyang, and Zhou Shaobai went to Qingyang.

The plan was decided, and the four of them continued on their way. When they arrived at the fork in the road, Zhang Xiaofeng and Li Yuankang went south, while Qingyang was more east, so Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi continued to move forward together.

The willows are still clinging, and the cool breeze is dark.

The two went all the way, but because of last night's accident, neither of them said a word.
