When she listened to the old woman's praise for Huyan Wujiang, Hua Kaichun immediately deliberately showed a full face.

"Ahem, if we have such a good wish as my sister-in-law, our city lord will be safe and sound even if he faces great obstacles, but there are too few people in this world who really know Entu's retribution, not to mention, good people may not have good rewards!" He watched intently as the old woman's expression reacted, like a cat crouching at the water's edge, waiting for the small fish to ambush and jump out of the water.

"Ah, could it be that the city lord is in trouble?" the old woman looked at him with wide eyes and asked eagerly, "Tell me quickly!"

"It's not!" Hua Kaichun drooped with a sad face, sighed and said, "I'm afraid, this time our city lord is more than lucky!"

"Why?" said the old woman, who was astonished and eagerly moved her arms to the blossoming of flowers, "tell me quickly, what has happened to the lord of the city?"

"Oh yes! I'm talking too much again," Hua Kaichun hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and said with an inadvertent expression, "No, no, nothing!"

"Butler Hua, why are you so upset today," the old woman looked unrelenting, she took his hand, and asked him anxiously, "Do we still have to divide each other?"

Seeing that the time was ripe, the flowers bloomed in spring and made a relaxed look.

At this time, he shook his head, and before he could say anything, he sighed deeply.

"It seems that today I have to disobey the city lord's repeated instructions!" Hua Kaichun said helplessly.

"Yesterday, there was a person who claimed to be Wang Million, the owner of Songshan Manor in Luoyan City, and he ran to our Taiyuan City early in the morning to ask the city lord for help," Hua Kaichun said worriedly, "He said that his manor was taken away by a man named Wu Shuang in broad daylight a few days ago, and I heard him say that this man named Wu Shuang also has a very powerful swordsmanship; ”

"Is it true, did the city lord promise him?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay! The city lord of Huyan is really worthy of being a man of great benevolence and righteousness. The old woman said, with a look of reverence on her face.

"Alas, yes," Hua Kaichun said with a sigh again, "I have always been like this, and I am heartbroken for other people's affairs. ”

Then he said, "What's the use, who will remember his affection!" At the same time, he deliberately raised his eyes to see how the old woman would react.

"So, did the city lord decide to go to Songshan Manor?" the old woman asked suddenly and decisively, as if she had already made some kind of decision

"Yes. Hua Kaichun nodded.

"When is he leaving?"

"It's possible that tomorrow morning," Hua Kaichun said, "but at the latest it will be by midnight tomorrow afternoon." ”

"Oh!" the old woman sighed, as she looked out the door melancholy. At that moment, it was as if something was painfully struggling in her heart.

Taking advantage of this, Hua Kaichun also secretly glanced at her face, and then, his face seemed to show a look of satisfaction, as if it was like the cat crouching at the water's edge, and had already noticed the surprised expression of a few small fish on the water surface when they were eager to try.

"Old sister-in-law, the city lord is going to leave tomorrow, and I will also go back early to prepare his outfit for tomorrow's trip," Hua Kaichun said, and then he began to twist the empty hand bag just now into a ball in his hand, and walked towards the door while moving his steps, at the same time he sighed and said, "The city lord is also worried about what will happen to him this time, and he is afraid that he will not be able to come to see you again in the future, so he urged me to come over early in the morning to take a look!"

"Oh, this good man, how can we repay our mother and son!" said the old woman, whose mood sank again, and she also came to the door of the chai with the flowers in spring.

He stopped, turned back and said a solemn farewell to the old woman.

"Old sister-in-law, you stay, I'll visit you next time!" Hua Kaichun said and turned to walk forward.

"How far is it to get to Wild Goose City here?" asked the old woman suddenly shouting behind him.

"Nearly two hundred miles!" Hua Kaichun said, turning around, "it can be reached in three hours on a fast horse." ”

"Oh, is he going to leave early to-morrow morning?" said the old woman, as if to herself, but loudly.

"Yes. Hua Kaichun said, "I will leave before the unitary hour tomorrow afternoon at the latest!"

"I'm gone, old sister-in-law, take care of yourself!" said Hua Kaichun as he walked into the woods, and in a few moments his sturdy back disappeared into the hazy light of the woods.

However, the old woman still stood in front of the wood door with a heavy heart, and did not move for a long time.

At that moment, the old woman's mind had already opened the dusty notepad, and she still remembered that it had been five years since she had known Hua Kaichun, the housekeeper of Huyan Wubian.

Five years ago, it was a summer evening, the sky was full of dark clouds, thunder and drums were roaring, the ground was gloomy and gloomy, and heavy rain was coming; but it happened that her son Nanping was not at home at that time, and seeing that a mountain rain was inevitable, the old woman was worried that these thatched huts in disrepair would not be able to withstand the obscene power of the torrent.

At this moment, a majestic and powerful man came to visit, he claimed to be the butler of the Taiyuan city lord Huyan Wujiang Hua Kaichun; here, I heard that the young son Nan Pingyuan was far away in another country to learn swords, and there was only the eldest lady in the family. Now that I am old, and I am inconvenient to move, and I live in this great mountain, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, so our lord of the city is very uneasy, so he specially asked me to bring some necessities for life, and by the way come to see the old woman's well-being.

Not only that, but when the flowers bloomed that day, they braved the rain to cover the old woman's walls, replaced some of the rotten rafters, and found newly cut wood, and strengthened the old woman's fence stakes as necessary.

That time, the appearance of the flowers in spring can be described as a charcoal in the snow, and he gave the old woman a very deep and good impression. Since then, he has been coming and going, so the friendship between them has become deeper and deeper.

However, every time Hua Kaichun came, he would bring some money, softness, and all kinds of necessities of life, and every time he came, he was so enthusiastic, so kind, like another son of an old woman, and like a little master, he rolled up his sleeves and swept the courtyard, watered the flowers and weeded everything.

This time, however, the old woman was not glad when she looked at the table full of good things, but she was so anxious at the moment!

It was as if she saw a great catastrophe looming towards them!
