Chapter Seventy-Two: The Return

In the next few days, Hu Tan stayed in Laofu and did not leave the gate, waiting for Shan Yan's return with peace of mind. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info get up every morning and sleep at night, eat and eat dinner, and work and rest like ordinary people. Before and after dinner, in addition to serving his aunt and master, he diligently practiced the ear and eye training foundation taught to him by Ku Rong in the atrium, and went to serve the little black horse in his spare time, or he walked around the house with Master Lao, and enjoyed the rare and exotic objects that Master Lao collected from all over the world.

There are still people coming in Changshe County every day, there are small sects, there are no sects, and there are even crop handles that have only learned three fists and two feet, with different shapes, men, women and children. Among them, there are also some well-known disciples of the gate valve and the descendants of the family, Yantai Mountain, Liulian Mountain, Chiba Gate, these famous doors are strict, quite a bit of cumbersome rules, disciples travel often quite difficult, so it is not as happy as ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. This time, the three rivers and five lakes gathered in Yingchang, and even the sects in Jianqu and the two prefectures had people rushing in. The entire Great Song Dynasty art world has been a sensation, everyone has heard that there is a little doll in Yingchang Mansion who can draw healing talismans, and the effect is like a god, no matter how heavy the injury and pain, knife wounds, stick wounds, or poisonous sores and strange diseases, but as long as there is still a breath of life, a talisman can be saved. This was said by Liu Zhenlu, the hero of the Central Plains, and confirmed by the Five Flowers Lady and the Continuation of the Pulse Toutuo. As far as the people of the rivers and lakes are concerned, it is inevitable that they will be injured in the battle and get injured in the battle, and since they have heard that there is such a divine object that has seized the heavens, who does not want to try their luck? If the ancestral tomb smokes and really grabs one, it will have one more basis to protect one's life. Even if you don't use it, you can also give it to others, maybe it is the beginning of the soaring prosperity, maybe a major turning point in life that changes the sky and life is placed in this thing. So a few days after the news spread, the people from all over the world were excited, and countless people hurriedly set off from all over the north and south, and the streets of Changshe were overcrowded for a while.

The concierge of Laofu received a snowflake every day, and it increased sharply day by day, first hundreds and then broke thousands, Hu Tan had already instructed the door, and the visitors all blocked the drive, and said that the proximate cause of excessive drawing, exhausting and laborious, and the need to recuperate and not be able to see the guest for the time being. Master Lao deliberately opened a room in the side courtyard for him to store the door, which has been piled up into a hill in a few days.

Xiao Hu Tan didn't want to see people, and the guests outside could only be helpless, but they heard that this little doll was accompanied by a terrifying peerless master, whose skills were far better than those of the head of Shushan. On that day, Ku Rong stealthily punished the three evildoers, and the matter of the old man in gray who stunned hundreds of people was spread several times, and it had long become unrecognizable, and Ku Rong had become a moody and ruthless senior master in the rumors, coming and going without a trace, and the world changed color in anger, and he could kill thousands of troops with a snap of his fingers. With such a door god in town, who is impatient and dares to use their brains? Not to mention breaking into the Lao Mansion, there are few who dare to cough loudly outside the courtyard wall.

Scheming, to find out Hu Tan's age, speculate about the little doll's preferences, so he did everything possible to send in many gifts, and the attached post only said: "A certain sect praises Miss Qin Su and Hu Gongzi Tai'an." ""Someone in such and such a place heard that Hu Gongzi was living in Yingchang, and it was not convenient to live, so he specially gave a small gift for use and respectfully asked for travel security", and did not mention the matter of asking for a charm. Most of the gifts are children's toys such as new clothes and hats, hairpin bracelets and beaded clay dolls, as well as some exquisite gadgets and rare food; others who have no ability and no brains and are really thirsty for charms, so they use thousand-year-old tricks to go to the door of Laofu every day to pretend to be miserable, and a large number of people kneel for a long time facing the door of the house, or cry out for pain, or mourn and cry, hoping to arouse Hu Tan's compassion.

Hu Tanmen didn't dare to go out, but he didn't refuse gifts from others. Every day, I spend half an hour in person to see it with great interest, and this is the first time that someone has given him something so enthusiastically and sincerely, how can the little doll let it go? Not to mention, there are really many small objects that he likes, such as a spinning top equipped with a spinning top that will constantly change the image of a bird and a finch with a rotation, a copper flute that will automatically play a fragment of "Wind Shakes Bamboo" when blowing, a box of delicate little people with colored clay sculptures, and many fruits that are often difficult to see. In fact, at this time, he lived in Lao Lao's mansion, and the utensils were abundant, and Hu Tan's interest in these ingenious playthings decreased a lot, and these things were just a sight to behold. Master Lao is trying his best to convince him, but if Hu Tan wants, Master Lao has nothing to do. This monster has a lot of money and a wild heart, and has traveled all over the countries of the Western Regions for many years, and has really collected a lot of good things, and at this time he has confessed all the selfishness, which dazzles Hu Tan, and thinks that the eyes are too little, so Lao Lao is still dissatisfied, if the moon in the sky is picked, and Hu Tan is interested, the monster master is afraid that he will try his best to hug him back.

Of course, Hu Tan knew that Master Lao was so diligent and hardworking, and what he wanted to do. Because he had promised that day, he didn't want to deliberately hang him, but after he came back, he listened to Qin Su's proposal, sorted out the priorities first, and used the fixed talisman he drew for a few days to treat Ning Yurou, more than ten pieces a day, all of them were burned into talisman water and fed to the girl, and half of them were left. Therefore, it was not until four days later, when fifty or sixty talismans showed their merits, that Ning Yurou's condition improved, and a trace of vitality finally appeared on her black little face, so she freed her hand and painted fifteen more for Master Lao in one go.

Of course, Master Lao knew that it was a good thing, and he knew that he couldn't compare with other masters and sisters, so he didn't dare to be too little, so he accepted it happily, and then generously threw out 30,000 taels of silver, saying that it was Cheng Yi who was given to Hu Tan and Qin Su in advance. This monster is transparent, his eyes are poisonous, and Hu Tan's careful thinking about raising food funds that day did not hide from him. Thinking that it was inconvenient to carry the heavy weight of silver, he helped Hu Tan and exchanged the 30,000 taels and the previous 7,000 taels of gold and silver for light jewelry and jiaozi.

If so, the guests are generous and the host is interested, and you respect me and humble me for another six days, and the labor house is happy. From the lord to the servant, everyone has what they want, and they are happy and peaceful.

And happy that on this day, Mei Yan's breeze was light, and at the beginning of the twilight, Master Lao warmly invited a few people to go to the backyard to enjoy the snow, saying that it was a batch of rare fruits, fine wine and preserved meat from Tubo that had been newly transported, and let a few people try it. Hu Tan was greedy, and was described by Master Lao's voice and shadow, and he was persuaded to swallow his spit, his eyes lit up, and Master Lao applauded a stack of voices before he finished speaking. Ku Rong didn't like this, and knew that this monster had a grudge, and he was really afraid of himself, so he didn't want to ruin people's interest together, so he asked Hu Tan a few words, and stayed in the room to take care of Ning Yurou. Master Lao appreciated his decision very much, and for the first time felt that the bastard enlightened person was not completely useless, at least this kung fu of observing words and feelings, knowing feelings and interests was not bad, and at the moment even the fake politeness insisted on saving, and instructed Steward Mu to prepare another wine and fruit for the grandfather and grandson to eat, and then pulled Hu Tan and Qin Su away. In the evening, the three of them roasted the deer and enjoyed the snow in the corner pavilion, tasted the fruit brew, listened to Mr. Lao talk about some old stories, saw and heard in all directions, and boasted about his feats of the year by the way. Hu Tan learned martial arts during the day and occasionally comprehended, and the new family wealth was by his side, at this time he was really high-spirited and very interested, not only did he come to the wine in the cup, and tasted every dish and new fruit, but also came to the boy's Yaoqin, which was drumming over and over again, and played it indiscriminately. Mr. Lao let him play nonsense, not only did not comment on the bad words, but also made a few boys rhyme for him, pretending to listen, looking intoxicated and shouting wonderful. Qu it, one big and one small cracked mouth. Qin Su saw that they were getting carried away, old and young, and he also pursed his lips and smiled, changing his preoccupied appearance for a few days.

That night, under the welcome of Master Lao's music, the three of them were quite happy, and they did not return to their rooms until late at night.

After drinking and half-drunk, people are the easiest to fall asleep, but this night Hu Tan slept very unsteadily, there seemed to be a premonition in the dark, it was always difficult to fall asleep over and over again, and he was half-asleep and half-awake, in a trance, and waited until the city gate tower passed the four more drums, and suddenly his heart was empty, and he fell into a tranquility. Shu Tai, who was soft and soft, was incomparably comfortable, just like a person who had been hanging on something for a long time, and suddenly learned that the matter had been resolved, and fell like a big stone on his chest. Slowly exhaled, I felt that my mind was clear, my mind was more sensitive than before, and many of the martial arts skills I had learned during the day flowed through my heart. I was rejoicing, and I vaguely felt the wind blowing through the window, and the cool breath crept from the foot of the bed to the bed, and the hands and feet outside the bed felt a little cold. Secretly thought: "Did you forget to close the window when you went to bed just now?" vaguely remembered that he was closed, and he didn't care, and in his heart he realized what he had learned from beginning to end several times, and then there was no stagnation, so he wrapped the quilt tightly and wanted to fall asleep, but he didn't want to smell a faint fragrance at the end of his nose, which was different from the original sleep incense in the room, and seemed to have knowledge in the past, when a spirit woke up and sat up on the bed, but saw a dark shadow at the head of the bed, a figure exuding cold air suddenly stood up, looking at him silently.

"Auntie......" Hu Tan called softly, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he recognized the person from the incomparably familiar and friendly feeling surging in his body. Sure enough, the night breeze swept the window screen, and the faint light of the lantern under the eaves was transmitted through, reflecting the outline of that beautiful face.

"Auntie, you're back!" Hu Tan exclaimed happily, but he was afraid of waking Qin Su, who was sleeping in the same room, so he deliberately lowered his voice. His eyes widened, and now he was completely awake, and he sensed a faint joy in the other person, and a gradual increase in pity and tenderness, which was the source of his sudden peace a moment earlier.

The cold air on Shan Yan's body was extremely heavy, and the cold air that Hu Tan felt before was emitted from her, obviously she had just returned from the snow and had not been in the room for a long time. She saw that Hu Tan was happy, and the contour of her side face curved slightly, as if she was giving him a smile in return. With the light on her back, her expression was not very clear, and she only saw her eyes flickering in the dark, if the morning star at two o'clock, it would only fall on the young man's face, as if she was looking at it, and it seemed that she was thinking about something.

She had just stood in the dark, and she didn't know how long she had looked at the hazy half-sleeping boy.

"You've forgotten what I said when I left. Shan Yan lightly reproached and said that Hu Tan's close and happy gaze made her a little unaccustomed, although when she was in Xiangzhou, she was worried about this child all the time, and countless times imagined the scene of the two getting along after returning, but when she really faced it, she still couldn't get rid of that strange feeling. In her more than 1,400 years of life, no one has ever trusted and admired her so unreservedly, most of the time she spent alone, so suddenly, there was such a soul-related relative, so he was so loved and attached to him, so that she had an incomparably novel sense at the same time, there was also a secret confusion and fear in her heart, she was faintly lost in an instant, feeling inexplicable hesitation and uneasiness, as if all this was just in a dream. She sensed this jerky alienation in her heart, and had to pretend to be angry to hide her emotions: "Don't call me aunt, I'm your aunt." ”

"Oh, auntie!" Hu Tan replied with a smile, scratching his head embarrassedly, his heart full of joy. Through the connection of blood and soul, he has confirmed that this is the closest person to him on earth. Although Aunt Qin Su raised him since he was a child and loved him, she had no blood relationship with him, and she had never let him have a peaceful feeling of rain returning to the river like the aunt in front of him, he could clearly perceive the resonance of the blood between the two, and could touch Shan Yan's true emotions, and understand her joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Although the aunt's tone was blaming, Hu Tan didn't feel her dissatisfaction, he knew that she wasn't really angry.

He sensed the slight uneasiness in her heart, but it soon faded away.

"What's wrong with your body? I haven't hurt anymore these days, has I?" Shan Yan asked him. When they met on the first day, Hu Tan was injured by the energy aroused by the fight between Ming Cone and the mad Zen master, and he was seriously injured and dying. Although the conceited medical skills of saving people are unparalleled in the world, but the concern is still this question.

Hu Tan understood what she was referring to, shook his head with a smile, struck his fist twice, and said, "It's been good a long time ago, my aunt's medical skills are so good, how can there be anything wrong with that little injury." ”

Shan Yan nodded, and asked about labor exemption again. This monster is an outlier in the sunset mountain, he doesn't like to practice, he doesn't want to seek the avenue, he prefers the idle life of the world, and he has learned the smooth temperament of a person, and the other monsters on the mountain are not very close to him. Guangze is also lukewarm to him, although the life span of labor is long, and the exercises are not low, Guangze still threw him into the world to be responsible for the liaison of the letter and newspaper, although he has the intention of using his talents, but the battle between Xizhao Mountain and Shocking Horse Cliff did not call him to participate, this is still a disguised snub and alienation, Shan Yan is only worried that Lao Fu will be lazy because of this, and neglect Hu Tan.

Who knows that in fact, it is not, this monster is hung by the magic talisman, and he is not only responsive to Hu Tan, but also has to think of responding to it, shush the cold and ask for warmth, care and preparation, and dedicate himself to 80 times a day, more than a diligent and verbose nurse. Hu Tan has been serving very satisfactorily these days, but he has not been carved a tablet for the ancestral hall as a little ancestor. He has a clear mind, and his ability to observe words and emotions is not weaker than that of labor, from the dodging and flattering appearance of the monster when he spoke to Shan Yan a few times, he had long guessed that Shan Yan would definitely have a respected status in the sunset mountain. Lao Fu helped himself so much, thinking that he was looking forward to a good image in front of his aunt, hoping that his aunt would take a different look at him when he was injured in the future.

This monster has a good temperament, although it is a little cunning, but the heart is not bad, and he is dedicated to serving himself and his aunt and master, and he is willing to do good deeds, and his reputation among the local people is not low, if he doesn't care about his monster identity, he can be regarded as a rich and good man. At the moment, he did not hesitate to praise his words of appreciation, full of praise, and only praised the old man Lao as a peerless good partner who was righteous and light on wealth and righteousness, there is no heaven and earth, this kind of good monster, one is too few, just look forward to a few more.

Shan Yan listened to his eyebrows fluttering and talked about his life in the past few days, although he lowered his voice, he still tried his best to say good things to Lao Fu and put money on it, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. What is the character of Lao Fu, she has known for a long time, she has learned the slippery and treacherous of the world, and used some means on Hu Tan, it is very simple and natural, and it is easy to touch the heart of the child.

However, seeing Hu Tan's kindness, people gave way and I respected, and I comforted myself in my heart, thinking: "This child has the same temperament as the eldest brother, and he is kind to others everywhere." If they are kind to him, he will be doubly good to them. "If today's turmoil and the world are difficult, it is very different from more than ten years ago, and disasters are frequent everywhere, Shan Yan can no longer hope that the people she cherishes can be in a corner of peace, and Hu Tan will sooner or later devote himself to this catastrophe of heaven and earth. And no matter how great a person's ability is, it is always difficult to deal with the complicated affairs that come one by one, and there must always be someone around to help him, Hu Tan has this temperament, and it is very easy to make friends in the future, and call friends together, so don't worry about his fate like Brother Hu. Brother Hu is also sincere, but his luck is not good, and no one expected that such a huge accident would occur, making him suffer a catastrophe. Recalling the past for a while, and then seeing Hu Tan's eyebrows flashing between smiles, witty and cunning, it is clear that Hu Buwei's appearance when he was a teenager, and he was touched for a while, sadness came out of sorrow, and sorrow was full of life, and tenderness was surging in his heart, and he vaguely felt that the child in front of him was Hu Buwei, who was familiar with him back then, and under the surging heart, the original cold face gradually became softer.

At this moment, Qin Su, who was sleeping on Hu Tan's bed, woke up with a 'hmm', turned over and sat up in the dark, and shouted vigilantly: "Who?" Shan Yan frowned, and her face instantly turned cold again. She said to Hu Tan: "Now it's night, you go to bed first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." As he spoke, he ignored Qin Su, the figure flickered, and suddenly disappeared, and he had already left the room.

Over there, Qin Su got out of bed dressed and walked quickly to Hu Tan's bed, but saw Hu Tan sitting on the quilt, and there seemed to be no damage on his body, and he was looking at the open window panel in a daze.

"Your Aunt Shan Yan is back?" Qin Su immediately realized and asked Hu Tan. She woke up suddenly in her sleep just now, she didn't see the person in the dark, and Shan Yan's last speech was low and vague, making it difficult to identify. When I saw Hu Tan nodding, my heart was tight, and I felt flustered for no reason, my hands and feet were a little at a loss, and I stayed in place for a while, and then moved to the window, touched the fire sickle and flint from the table, and beat it with a clatter, but it seemed to be nervous, and I beat it a little quickly, and I was crooked several times, and the sparks splashed on the sickle, but there was no velvet, and after a while, the candle was lit.

"What did she tell you......? She...... Didn't get hurt, did you?"

"Nope. Hu Tan shook his head and said, "She asked me about Master Lao, and I picked up good things and said, Master Lao will know tomorrow, and he has to thank me well." ”

"What's more? I just said Master Lao, and I didn't tell you anything else?"

"No," Hu Tan looked at Qin Su in confusion, "What else does she have to do?" Even if the little boy is smart, he can't guess what his aunt is thinking at this time, seeing the slight disappointment on Qin Su's face, he fell silent, took a brocade pier and sat down, supported it with one hand, and seemed to fall into contemplation again.

"Auntie, what do you want to ask your aunt, is it important?" Hu Tan asked her, Qin Su shook his head and did not answer, pondered for a while at the candle, suddenly stood up, turned his head to look out the window, it seemed that he had made up his mind and wanted to run out of the door, but it seemed that in an instant, the inner struggle became fierce again, and he could not take that step. Lowering his head and biting his lip, his hand clutched the belt tightly, his expression changed a few times, he stood still for a long time, but slowly sat down.

Hu Tan looked at her strangely, full of doubts. He had long noticed that his aunt had become a little strange these days, and since he met his aunt that day, his aunt's interest had not been very high, and she was absent-minded about everything, and she didn't belong all day long. In the past, he was strictly urged to review his homework every day and let him memorize the scriptures, but these days he has forgotten to ask, and he doesn't know what is on her mind suddenly.

He didn't know that at this time, his aunt was experiencing another drastic change in his mood.

What Qin Su was hanging in her heart at this time was apart from the news of Hu Buwei's life and death? Since she heard Shan Yan say that Hu Buwei was not dead half a month ago, she has always been in an unreal situation, and everything in her eyes is empty and insignificant, as if she is separated by a heavy veil, doubting the truth and illusion.

The news that Shan Yan told her was too shocking, too important, so big that it was heard in a hurry, and it was unbearable.

At this time, six years have passed since the eternal secret on the barren mountain.

Suddenly, a few years have passed, she has come out of a desperate situation, her mood has become peaceful, she has accepted the fact that Hu Buwei has passed away, she regards herself as the surviving person of Brother Hu, sealed the **** of her life, and no longer has expectations for the future. Now, she only thinks about pulling Brother Hu's blood and blood to grow up, so that he won't be worried under the spring soil. However, when she finally regained her peace and finally stepped out of the thorn bushes, she suddenly heard that Hu Buwei was not dead, and he was still alive!

You know, that is the only heartfelt person in her life, and it is the place where her soul is bound. Her life had depended on him, and she had been ruined because of him, and when she heard the news related to his life and death, how much could she say about the shock to her?

She is very willing to believe Shan Yan's words, and looks forward to Hu Buwei still being lucky in the world. Although intellectually speaking, she knew that Hu Buwei would never have a chance to survive again. However...... People always pray for miracles, and who is willing to completely abandon illusions and be willing to sink into the lake of death? Who is really willing to accept misfortune without hoping that misfortune will leave far away? When a profound catastrophe changes and sees the light again, everyone will cling to it? Everyone will secretly regenerate hope, even if that hope is so weak and slim.

For these days, Qin Su has been trapped in believing and not believing. She pondered the tone of Shan Yan's speech, guessed her thoughts, wanted to determine the truth or falsehood of the content of that sentence, and was occupied by these thoughts and thoughts, so it was difficult to pay attention to anything else. Occasionally, she has a firm belief and thinks that Shan Yan has no grievances with herself, and it is not good for her to deceive herself, so she will not joke with such important news. When she thought so, her heart couldn't help but be excited, thinking that she might see Brother Hu again in the future, she trembled, her heart was filled with joy and expectation, her chest was swollen with pain, and she almost couldn't breathe.

No matter how green the dead wood is, how can it be described as ecstatic or uneasy.

And sometimes, thinking that even if Brother Hu can survive occasionally, he must not be free, he may be trapped in fire and water, I don't know what kind of hardships he has experienced in the past few years, and what kind of suffering he is enduring now, at that time, the whole heart sank again, filled with anxiety and worry, and I can't wait to see him now and sacrifice my life to replace him. Thinking of the man's gentle speech, thinking of his embarrassment, thinking of the scene when he met the enemy in the empty mountain, he was reluctant to leave and was willing to die with her, scene by scene, clear and picturesque, such as a deep love for a beloved, eyebrows are still the same as yesterday, but the misfortune of the sky, the bitterness in the honey and tenderness, when thinking deeply, the heart is broken, and the heart is painful.

Occasionally, he regained his senses, his doubts reappeared, and he felt that the temperament of Shan Yan he saw was very different from what Brother Hu described. How much credibility does such a fox have when she speaks? Isn't it just that she just said it casually, to test and entertain her? When she thought like this, she suddenly became frightened and disheartened, thinking that Brother Hu had died after all, and that she still had no hope that he could be resurrected, how pitiful and ridiculous it was. Under the miserable self-mourning, the whole heart was empty, and the brain was at a loss.

However, Shan Yan, who could give all these answers, went to Xiangzhou, making her suffer every day and sit still. She is calculating Shan Yan's return every day, and every moment is like a year. No one would have thought that in the entire Lao Mansion, she was the one who was most looking forward to Shan Yan's return.

An aunt and a nephew sat in the room facing the candle, the little one was puzzled, the big one was full of thoughts, and they didn't speak, and the room was quiet for a while. Hu Tan is young, he won't have much complicated thoughts, but he wonders why his aunt looked restless after knowing that her aunt came back, and she couldn't guess the reason after thinking about it, so she sat bored for a while, and then yawned, sleepy like a mountain, her eyelids were heavy, and she nodded frequently while holding the quilt. Qin Su woke up suddenly, and hurriedly placed him to lie down again, tucked the quilt tightly for him, blew out the candles and went back to his bed and clothes to lie down.

It's just that at this time, where can I still sleep, my thoughts are rolling like a tide, my heart is like being boiled in boiling oil, I am afraid and afraid, I am looking forward to worry, and I can't calm down at all. I was upset, and I wanted to use my strength to breathe and subdue the demons, but at this time, the demons had become extremely tenacious and tenacious, one foot high, and the demons were a hundred feet high.

Just wait for tomorrow to dawn, she will go to Shan Yan to ask for an understanding. This matter has been tormenting her for too many days. She didn't know what kind of answer she would get from Shan Yan.

And at the thought of the indefinite consequence, she immediately felt an incomparable fear, and in an instant her courage was gone, and she trembled, and she wanted to ignore it, but if she had not heard the news, she knew that she had no strength to bear the sorrow and disappointment again, and if this faint hope was destroyed again, she would really be doomed.

However, let her go on like this, and not pursue the news that Brother Hu might survive, how could she be willing?

The choice is so difficult, further may not be able to see Pingchuan Avenue, and a step back will definitely be a cliff hanging in the air.

is in such a dilemma, with thousands of thoughts, countless thoughts entangled, and the tide in my heart, and I am no longer tired, I can't wait to find Shan Yan in person and have a clear argument with her. It's just that Shan Yan has just gotten out of the battle, and she rushed back in the dust, and she doesn't know how the situation over there will be won or lost, whether there is any damage, so when it is more serious in the evening, after all, it is not good to disturb her with her heart.

Listening to the cold wind crying outside the window, except for the slight sound of snow particles rubbing, the occasional shaking of the cold pine, and no more noise, Qin Su once again felt that Chenguang was unbearable. Why has it been so long since the drums of the fourth watch were beating, but the fifth watch has not yet arrived? Even though I was on the way to flee in the past, I was poor and sick and still protected a young child, and I never felt that the winter night was so long. I can't hear half of the rooster's crowing in the dark, this is really abnormal, could it be that there is not a single family in the whole Changzhi County that raises chickens? Or are those chickens unwilling to cry in the morning today, or have they all been stolen by thieves?

My heart was burning, my mind was full of thoughts, and all kinds of strange thoughts came to me. For a while, he secretly complained about Master Lao, who was obviously very thoughtful about many things, but he forgot to put a water leak in this room, so that she could hardly get her wish if she wanted to see what time she carved.

It's easy to get caught in the first rays of the light, and the first rooster crow in the distance sounds, and it sounds like heaven in my ears. Then, the roosters from far and near began to perform their duty, long and short, and those high-pitched oows used to disturb people's dreams, but now they felt indescribably cordial and beautiful.

Qin Su closed his eyes tiredly, exhaled slowly, and heard the voices of people gradually coming from the courtyard outside, the first two people in the first year, the last five or six people, some yawned, some coughed, and some carried heavy objects, this is the servants of the labor mansion began to work in the morning, boiling soup and tea, and preparing for the morning washing.

At the beginning of the new morning, this means that she will soon be able to see Shan Yan, and whether Brother Hu is alive or dead will be known today. Thinking of this section, the muscles and muscles of the whole body began to tense uncontrollably, the heart trembled, and the heart seemed to be pinched by a huge hand.

The sky finally brightened, the wind was not very fast, there was no snow and no sunshine, it was a normal weather. Bright light filtered in through the windows, and the outlines of the objects in the dark room gradually appeared. Qin Su closed his eyes and breathed for a moment, suppressed the apprehension in his heart, got up in his clothes, glanced at Hu Tan, and saw that he was lying on the quilt with one foot, holding a small pillow and sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Child, your father may still be alive, this is an extremely important thing for you and me. "I'll know the answer today, if the news is true," she thought silently...... I'm afraid that your future life is going to change significantly. Qin Su helped him flatten the quilt back, glanced at Xiao Tong deeply, walked to the door, held the latch with both hands, and felt the unusual coldness in his palm. Her fingers trembled a little, and she didn't know if it was because of the cold or nervousness, and even her body shook slightly. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when his emotions recovered a little, he resolutely twitched and walked out of the door.

The cold wind blows the snow outside the door, and the plum blossom is fragrant. From time to time, human voices can be heard, and it is no different from ordinary days.

The charcoal residue of the stove placed in the two corners of the house was still warm, and Hu Tan slept until more than half of the morning before waking up. While still asleep, I suddenly heard the sound of fingernails peeling and pecking from the window. Hu Tan woke up in shock, turned over and sat still, covered his face with his palms, and yawned heavily.

This subtle sound was immediately caught outside the window, and a little girl's crisp and refreshing voice came in: "Young Master Hu, it's time to get up, you're going to practice!"

Hu Tan 'oh' answered, and seeing that Qin Su was not indoors, he found his shoes under the bed, put on his shirt and ran over to open the door. The little maid Su Zhu'er came over with a tray, on which was a relief pine crane mutton fat jade bowl, the lid was not removed, but it was fragrant. Su Zhu'er bent her knees slightly, made a so-so salute, and said: "This is the lotus seed soup that the master ordered you to make, you can eat it quickly, it takes a long time!" Hu Tan thanked her with a smile, picked up the soup bowl and ate it in two bites, Su Zhu'er stared at him intently, pouted, and said: "Won't you slow down? It's so hot, you have to blame me for eating badly." Hu Tan smiled: "Where is it hot? Even if it is ten times hotter, I won't be able to eat it!" Su Zhu'er was bought by Master Lao to serve his little maid, beautiful and lively, and her age is also the same. She knew how lucky she was to be able to enter the Lao Mansion, and she was extremely concerned about the things that the master explained. Because she is the daughter of an ordinary family, she doesn't know that Hu Tan has learned exercises and is not afraid of cold and heat.

Hu Tan put down the soup bowl, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and ran to the courtyard where the master lived. Su Zhu'er, who had just folded under the window to get the bucket, was taken aback, and stomped her feet in the back: "What are you running?!You haven't washed your face yet! Come back! I'll bring you hot water!" Hu Tan grimaced at her and shouted, "Don't wash it! My face is not dirty!" In a blink of an eye, he had already run out of the courtyard door.

The servants I met on the road seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't touch the ground one by one, and there were not half idlers along the way. This situation is a bit strange, and it is quite different from the calm and orderly appearance of the Lao Mansion before. Hu Tan guessed that it might be because of his aunt's return, and Master Lao scolded his aunt, so he urged the servants not to dare to be lazy, and he didn't think much about it at the moment. When he arrived at the master's room, he saw that the master and Sister Rou'er had indeed gotten up, so he walked in the door and kowtowed.

As soon as Ku Rong finished pushing Ning Yurou's blood, Hu Tan helped her and fed her a fixed talisman. Seeing that the live color on the little girl's face was becoming more and more obvious, Hu Tan was also very happy. After more than ten days of work, gathering the medicinal power of more than 60 Divine Talismans, there was finally a gratifying change, Ning Yurou's figure had elongated by a foot, her originally dry and dark face had faded around, her curved thin eyebrows, eyes with dense eyelashes, and her sharp chin had gradually stretched to the shape that it should be.

The most important thing is that she has been able to sleep deeply for several nights in a row, and she has no more tears and pain, and it is obvious that the pain that tormented her in the past is greatly reduced, which is the most comforting point for Kurong.

The master and apprentice helped each other, and after Ning Yurou's conditioning was placed, Ku Rong began to test the progress of Hu Tan's exercises, which was a daily routine inquiry to find out whether the child was working hard and mastering his daily exercises. Who knew that this question surprised Ku Rong, Hu Tan suddenly got a spiritual light last night, half-awake and half-dreaming, like a god, many of the original obscure and difficult points in the exercise were inferred and cleared, Ku Rong asked a little, the child answered casually, and there was no mistake. Many of the principles of magic are deduced by Hu Tan himself, and the answers are very simple and straightforward, although they are not as precise and profound as the original theory, but the theme is similar, and the road is in line with the principles, and after all, it can be understood and used.

A strange feeling arose in Kurong's heart. Looking at Hu Tan, I vaguely felt that the hero was old. He didn't expect that he still underestimated this child's understanding, originally he expected to teach Hu Tan for ten years, so that this child could touch the threshold of the major cultivator at the age of the weak crown, this is already a rare progress in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect Hu Tan to give him a big surprise, judging from Hu Tan's current progress, I am afraid that this date will be greatly advanced.

At that moment, he passed on a set of qigong methods to Hu Tan and instructed him to continue to work hard. When Master Lao asked the maidservant to bring breakfast in, Hu Tan kowtowed to the master and said goodbye. When the group of mermaids entered the room, they turned around and went out. Ning Yurou was sick, the diet was a little cumbersome, and Master Lao did not deduct difficulties in this item because he did not like the bitter banyan, the medicine and food used were the best, the cost was not cheap, and he was not afraid of cumbersomeness, and there were six or seven cooks and servants who were dispatched to serve Ning Yurou every day, and for this alone, Hu Tan could not help but be grateful to Master Lao.

I went out to the courtyard and practiced a trip to consolidate what I realized yesterday. Without distractions, he combed through the content of the master's lecture today, silently pondered the truth, and suddenly remembered that his aunt had returned, and he should go to ask for an an, ah yo, he secretly scolded himself for being confused, and hurriedly went to find his aunt, who knew that he came to Shan Yan's house, but was told by the maid guarding the door that Shan Yan was not in the room, and had just gone out an hour ago, and I didn't know where to go.

I returned to my room full of wonder, and saw that Qin Su was not in the house, and even the old man Lao, who was like a shadow insect in the past, did not come to Luo Yi today. It seemed that in one day, everyone had important things to do, and he was the only one with nothing to do.

This unaccompanied day is a little unaccustomed, Hu Tan muttered to himself, called Su Zhu'er, asked the maid to prepare grain and beans for him, and he wanted to see the lion photo on a snowy night.

The lion was still in the stable on a snowy night, and the little black horse was also there, Hu Tan was now a general fondness for these two horses, and poured the bean cakes into the trough in two, and then brushed the manes of the two horses one by one. The famous horse is quite humane, and the two horses have already been familiar with Hu Tan in the past few days, and they obediently let him comb and play, occasionally come over with the side of the neck, puff their noses, rub their cheeks, so not intimate.

The two of them stayed in the stable for a long time and had a good time. Su Zhu'er is young, and she has just learned to serve people, and she doesn't know how to respect and humble the rules, plus she has a pungent personality, and she has no restraint when talking to Hu Tan, but this is right Hu Tan's appetite, she treats her as a playmate and argues and discusses with each other, feeds the horses together, carries water and freshens up together, and makes noise, and no one lets anyone.

Seeing that it was about to pass noon, the two of them came out of the stable, Hu Tangu was comfortable, Su Zhu'er's face was also red, and her eyes were full of brilliance. For two children, in today's situation, every family is panicked, hungry, and precarious, and they can still experience this long-lost and simple happiness, how precious it is.

Parted in the atrium, Hu Tan hummed a song and returned to the room, and finally saw Qin Su coming back, sitting on the bed in white, facing in and contemplating.

"Auntie, where have you been!I was looking for you just now......" Hu Tan had just said half of his words, when he saw Qin Su's face turned red and swollen, and the tears on his face had not dried, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, only worried about what injuries or grievances Qin Su had suffered, so he suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Qin Su with a serious face, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Tan'er," Qin Su Zhanyan smiled at him and beckoned him over. Hu Tan obediently stepped forward, and when he got closer, he realized that the situation might be a little different from what he thought, and his aunt's appearance seemed to be ...... Some things are different. Although she had obviously cried a lot, her face did not have the slightest look of sadness and sorrow, but a look that she had never seen before, he had never seen such an aunt, what happened?

The tear stains on Qin Su's cheeks are like pear blossoms with rain, but his eyes are extremely bright, revealing an inexplicable divine light, burning like a morning star, bright and delicate.

"Auntie......" Hu Tan was stunned, he didn't want Qin Su to grab his head and neck, hugged him over, hugged him tightly, he felt his aunt put her face on his shoulder, warm tears penetrated his clothes and flowed to his skin, his aunt's eyebrows and eyes trembled slightly, he heard his aunt whisper: "Great! Great! He's still alive! Your father is still alive!" )
