【038】Swearing

It was already midnight when Yuan Xiaoguan and Shi Potian returned to Luoqi City, and since Ling Xiao's disciples had already prepared a place to stay, they avoided the trouble of looking for inns and stores everywhere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis place is a cloak shop located in the east of the city, which was opened by an outer disciple of Lingxiao City, and it can be regarded as the industry of Lingxiao City. Only Shi Potian, Yuan Xiaoguan and Murong Xiaoxiao, who was held in Yuan Xiaoguan's arms, entered the city, and the rest of them were guarding the corpses outside the city. The corpses of the elders of Lingxiao City did not dare to be transported into the city, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, so they could only stay outside the city.

Yuan Xiaoguan invited a doctor to treat Murong Xiaoxiao that night. In order to avoid being discovered by the eldest prince, he first made a disguise in the cloakshop, changed into a rich man's clothes embroidered with copper coins, and wore a buttoned bowl hat to cover his eye-catching hair.

The doctor's surname is Wang, from the Central Plains, and he is very famous in Luocheng City, and he was very unhappy to be woken up in the middle of the night, but when he saw Yuan Xiaoguan, who was dressed as a rich man, made a move to be a local tyrant with a piece of gold, he was so happy that the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the back of his head. At the moment, the whole body solution was used, and the best medicine was used. In the second half of the night, Murong Xiaoxiao woke up from his coma.

Yuan Xiaoguan was overjoyed, and paid a lot of money for the doctor to buy back a large number of ginseng, deer antler, snow lotus, cordyceps, Tibetan safflower and other things that replenish qi and blood, so as to nourish her body.

When she learned that she had been expelled from the wall, the girl, who did not shed tears even though she knew that she was poisoned and would die, hugged Yuan Xiaoguan's shoulder and cried heartbreakingly, wetting a large piece of his newly bought rich man's clothes. After comforting for a long time, the sad and tired girl fell asleep when the rooster crowed.

Looking at Murong Xiaoxiao's weak face that couldn't stop crying after falling asleep, Yuan Xiaoguan scolded Murong Fu's ancestor for eight generations in his heart: "...... Curse you to be crushed to death by the overlord lock! Be poisoned by burning your heart! No! Don't die first, leave you half a life first, let you look at the gold and silver treasures and can't get them, and you can't learn the secret books of martial arts! Haha—— even if you don't die, one day, I will make you kneel in front of me, beg me to let you live, and then ......"

Yuan Xiaoguan didn't sleep all night, and stayed in the room of the medical hall to take care of Murong Xiaoxiao, and when he was bored, he looked at Gu Mozhi's manuscript and practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong. The internal strength is really difficult to practice, and after working hard overnight, the dragon elephant skill has only improved by two levels. However, the stunt comprehension is not bad, and it has reached 4%.

At breakfast the next day, Yuan Xiaoguan met Shi Potian's wife A Xiu, this weak woman is really the same as written in the novel, she is very kind-hearted, has a soft personality, and speaks so softly that it is almost uncomfortable. Her eyes were red and swollen when they met, and she had apparently cried all night after learning the bad news about her father and grandfather last night. Yuan Xiaoguan saw that he was not looking good, so he used to investigate, but saw that the status column clearly read: "Pregnant, overly sad, unstable fetal gas......"

My wife is pregnant, but I don't know it, it's really uneducated!

Yuan Xiaoguan hurriedly lied that he knew how to look and hear, and told what he had discovered. Then I invited the doctor to take a look, and sure enough, the tire gas fluctuated, and it could be miscarriage at any time. The doctor advised her to keep her mood stable, and prescribed some drugs to stabilize the fetus, which saved the fetus. You must know that Ah Xiu has just experienced the pain of bereavement, and if she encounters a child again, she really doesn't know if her weak body and heart can withstand it.

At this time, Ah Xiu and Shi Potian regarded Yuan Xiaoguan as a great benefactor, and they were a lot closer to each other. Ah Xiu even proposed that after the child was born, he would worship Yuan Xiaoguan as his godfather.

Yuan Xiaoguan hurriedly postponed: "I can't do it, I can't do it! I'm still a child, how can I be someone else's godfather." ”

Ah Xiu persuaded: "If it weren't for you, this child would be gone, you are the one who gave him a second life, and it is natural to be a godfather!"

"That'...... Still not successful!" Yuan Xiaoguan waved his hand and said, "If I am the godfather of the child, wouldn't I be the same generation as Shi Daxia?

"What's so great about my peers!" Shi Potian slapped the table and said, "I just ate for a few more years, my brother scolded that Murong Fu before, and you said the sentence 'This is not a prayer, I will buy my life at a sufficient price', I listened to it with enthusiasm." Little brother, I admire you for your courage and bearing! At that time, you begged me to save my life, but I was worried and couldn't make up my mind, this mind and bearing are not as good as you, Brother Yuan, and the chivalry in my heart has been fed to the dog, and now I am really ashamed to think about it!"

Yuan Xiaoguan hurriedly said: "Don't say that, Shi Daxia, Lingxiao City has encountered a great disaster, and the rise and fall of a faction is all on Shi Daxia's shoulders, so naturally it needs to be considered in many ways." It's me, who blindly only thinks about my own life, which makes Shi Daxia embarrassed. ”

Shi Potian shook his head: "Anyway, compared to the open-mindedness, I ask myself if I am not as good as you, little brother." You are now very kind to me, and I am 10,000 willing to let you be my child's godfather. You don't care about the seniority, we are equals, I think so, if you don't dislike it, we just become brothers!

Shi Potian was always a little indecisive in doing things because of his lack of knowledge when he was a child, but now his martial arts are high, he has enough knowledge, and his style of action has become vigorous and resolute. As he spoke, he pulled out the chair and asked the boss for fragrant wax, so he inserted it into the steamed bun for breakfast and made a simple incense table. Yuan Xiaoguan couldn't shirk it several times, so he had to kneel down in front of the incense case with Shi Potian, and when he knelt down, he thought that he could call himself a brother and sister to the Taixuan heirs, and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

"Follow me, I'm ...... the sky"

"I'm ...... I'm Yuan Xiaoguan......"

"Today, if you become brothers with different surnames, you don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but you want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but you want to be born on the same day and month of the same year......"

"Alas, alas, it can't be done!" Shi Potian interrupted, "I'm almost 30 years old, you are only in your teens, and you died on the same day, the same month, and the same year, so don't you suffer a loss, brother? Just say that you are blessed and enjoy hardships together! Listen to me, I am the eldest brother, no! I am the third brother, and you are the fourth brother."

Yuan Xiaoguan then remembered that Shi Potian also had two sworn brothers, Zhang San and Li Si. Shi Potian has no culture, when it comes to reasoning, he is a tendon, admitting death, Yuan Xiaoguan has no room for refutation at all, and can only do it according to Shi Potian's meaning at the moment.

After the simple worship ceremony is over, Yuan Xiaoguan is still dizzy, and I will become Shi Potian's brother?

"Boss, come on!" Shi Potian shouted, "help me buy a jar of wine." ”

The owner of this cloak shop is an outer disciple of Ling Xiao City, so Shi Potian is not polite to him, and he directly orders something. After hearing this, the boss went happily.

Shi Potian said to Yuan Xiaoguan: "I have a child today, and I recognize you as a younger brother, I am happy." Fourth brother, let's have a few bowls of wine. ”

"No, I'm still young?" Yuan Xiaoguan hurriedly waved his hand.

"Small is small. Your third brother and I started drinking before I was 20 years old. "Shi Potian said," That wine is called delicious, and it will be cold for a while and hot for a while, alas, I miss the eldest brother and the second brother a little bit when I say it. Fourth brother, I will take you to Xia Ke Island in a while to meet the eldest brother and the second brother, they must be very happy to see you. ”

After a while, the wine came, and Yuan Xiaoguan couldn't resist Shi Potian's enthusiasm, so he could only drink a few sips. This wine is a rice wine made by the locals from barley, and the degree is not high, but it may have been roasted during brewing, and it has a somewhat burnt bitter taste. It was originally difficult to swallow, but then it was estimated that he was used to drinking, and Shi Potian began to talk about his experience of traveling the rivers and lakes with Zhang San and Li Si, and Yuan Xiaoguan listened to it with enthusiasm, so he drank it openly. A jar of five catties of wine was drunk clean by the two of them after a while.

Shi Potian has lived in Lingxiao City for the past few years, and the climate is cold, and drinking has become commonplace. Among the five catties of wine, he drank more than four catties alone, and at this time, his face did not change his color and his heart did not beat.

But Yuan Xiaoguan can't do it, this body is the first time to drink, close to a pound of wine, and he walks a little floating. At this time, he was in a trance, but his heart was extremely clear, and he thought of many things in an instant. Thinking of the deep affection and happiness of Qiao Feng's three brothers, I also thought of Zhang Cuishan's shame towards his brother and apologized for his crimes. I struggled with myself for a long time, and finally sighed lightly and made a decision.

Taking advantage of the wine, he pulled two chairs side by side, bowed down and made a gesture of please, and said to Shi Potian and Ah Xiu: "Third brother, sister-in-law, please take a seat!"

"What are you doing?" Shi Potian and Ah Xiu were both a little surprised. But seeing his solemn face, he still sat down as he said.

With a pop, Yuan Xiaoguan fell to his knees. was so shocked that Shi Potian hurriedly went up to help him: "Fourth brother, why are you drunk like this?"

Yuan Xiaoguan said with a serious face: "Shi Daxia, I'm not drunk, you sit down and listen to me!"

"You call me Shi Daxia? and say you're not drunk!"

Xiao Guan pressed him back into the chair: "You listen to me first, after I finish speaking, if you still recognize me as the fourth brother, I will not be too late to call you the third brother." ”

Shi Potian heard what he said seriously, his heart sank, and he sat down according to his words, and at this time, he was the same as Ah Xiu, his face was full of doubts.

Yuan Xiaoguan calmed down and said: "I just thought about it for a long time and hesitated for a long time, but in the end, I still feel that the brothers are honest and treat each other with all sincerity. I still have something to say about Xiao Langhuan this time. ”

Next, Yuan Xiaoguan told the truth of Xiao Langhuan's incident this time, including how he met the people of the Blood Knife Gate, how he encountered the attack of Lingxiao City, the intervention of Dalun Temple, and the arrival of Murong Xiao.

“...... That's how things happened, I'm not a disciple of Dalun Temple, and Murong Xiaoxiao wasn't someone I asked to help. I'm really sorry for the third brother, she has a life-saving grace for me, and I made up a lie to deceive you in order to save her. But thanks to you, when I am a brother, I think there should be no deception between brothers. So I told the truth, now please forgive me, forgive Murong Xiaoxiao! And sister-in-law, I know this is a bit excessive, the city lord's father and son died because of Murong Xiaoxiao, and the so-called revenge for killing her father is not shared, but now she has also been punished, and her whole body is useless. Please forgive Murong Xiaoxiao for her kindness in the fact that she also acted according to her orders and that she had given medicine. Of course, I won't blame you if you can't do it, I'm willing to bear all the sins, just ask you not to embarrass her. After speaking, he lowered his head and looked like he was waiting for the hair to fall.

Shi Potian and Ah Xiu glanced at each other, and the expressions on their faces were a little complicated.

But after a while, Shi Potian's eyes gradually became firm, and he stepped forward to help Yuan Xiaoguan and said: "Dare to be bold! You're a brother, I'm not staggered. As for Murong Xiaoxiao, since she is not the first evil and has also been punished, I think for the sake of the fourth brother, I can forgive her-Ah Xiu, what do you say?"

Nine lives in Lingxiao City died because of Murong Xiaoxiao, which was a great enmity that did not share the sky, and now Shi Potian put it down with a word in his face, this friendship is not unimportant, Yuan Xiaoguan was moved when he heard it.

Ah Xiu gritted her teeth and said softly, "That Murong Xiaoxiao...... I want to meet her. ”

Yuan Xiaoguan stood in the hall of the medical hall and paced back and forth, almost wanting to enter the inner room several times. He was desperate to find out what was going on with the two women inside.

"Don't worry, fourth brother. Shi Potian on the side comforted him and said, "Although Murong Xiaoxiao is indeed guilty of this incident, she is also kind to me in Lingxiao City, and she is not a wicked person when she acts." Ah Xiu is the most kind, and they will definitely understand each other. In fact, to say something unfilial, if my father-in-law and grandfather hadn't been greedy, they wouldn't have ended up like this. Alas!" he said with a long sigh.

After a while, Ah Xiu opened the curtain and walked out, her eyes were red.

"Sister-in-law, how is it?" Yuan Xiaoguan hurriedly greeted him.

Ah Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Seeing that you are so nervous, I am relieved." She's a good girl, and as your sister-in-law, I have to remind you to treat her well! If I know you're bullying her in the future, I won't spare you!"

Yuan Xiaoguan's face turned red, and then he was overjoyed: "Sister-in-law, what are you...... Forgive her?"

Ah Xiu nodded: "Well, you can go in and see her." After speaking, he pulled Shi Potian and walked out, and Shi Potian's loud voice came from outside the door: "Ah Xiu, I knew you would forgive her, you have such a good heart, what do you say......"

Yuan Xiaoguan walked into the inner room, but saw Murong Xiaoxiao sitting at the head of the bed, with tears on her face, as if she had cried.

"How are you?" Yuan Xiaoguan stepped forward and asked softly.

Murong Xiao raised his head, smiled reluctantly, and then lowered his head again: "I'm fine, I'm just ...... Some regrets, I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble. ”

"Silly sister, it's okay, you just ......"

"That sister was a good person, I confessed everything to her, and she forgave me in the end. ”

"That's good!"

"We have also agreed......" Murong Xiaoxin stopped here.

"What did you agree on?" asked Yuan Xiaoguan hurriedly.

Murong Xiao hesitated for a while, and finally spoke: "I want to go to Lingxiao City and guard the tomb for these dead people for three years......"

Yuan Xiaoguan pondered for a while and comforted: "Good sister, don't be careful, my third brother and sister-in-law are good people, and they let you go to Lingxiao City to guard the mausoleum is not a punishment, but a good intention." You are not in good health now, and the snow lotus and cold mountain ginseng in Lingxiao City are the most symptomatic to you, and Dr. Wang also said it. So they want you to go to Lingxiao City to live for a while to recuperate. ”

Murong nodded and said, "I know, I am willing to guard the mausoleum. ”

"That's good, you have a good rest, I'll pick you up later. ”

Murong nodded slightly, looking at Yuan Xiaoguan's back as he walked out, his face suddenly turned red.

She still has some things she hasn't told Yuan Xiaoguan, in fact, there is more than one agreement between her and Ah Xiu. There is also an agreement that when the three-year period expires, Ah Xiu will make the decision for her and let her and Yuan Xiaoguan get married.
