Chapter 118: The Owner

However, Qiu Tong didn't go far with Zhang Xiaohua before he changed his mind.

Ou Yan hadn't told Qiu Tong before that he wanted to get any books for Zhang Xiaohua, and it was very inappropriate for the owner's study to rashly bring others in without the owner's consent.

Therefore, Qiu Tong took Zhang Xiaohua to the outside of the hall.

As soon as she approached the hall, Zhang Xiaohua heard two people talking inside, one voice was extremely good, like a yellow bird out of the valley, which made people never get tired of listening to it for a long time, and the other although he also spit out mellow words, not in a hurry or slow, but still did not have that gripping charm.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think that it was Ou Yan, the owner of the village, who spoke well.

In fact, when she came to the inner courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua began to guess Ou Yan's appearance and voice, she came to Huanxi Villa for several months, Ou Yan treated herself very haode, she had never seen anyone, this time, not only to return the book and borrow books, but also to thank herself in person for taking care of herself.

Qiu Tong asked Zhang Xiaohua to wait outside the house and went in to say goodbye.

Qiu Tong entered the hall, and the two people inside were silent, Zhang Xiaohua heard Qiu Tong say inside: "Owner, Zhang Xiaohua from the medicine field came to return your books, and wanted to borrow some more, what books do you want to borrow from him?"

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua pricked up her ears even more, wondering which voice answered.

It's a pity that to his disappointment, the warm voice sounded: "Huh~, it's been read so soon? Isn't it this kid who is rummaging around, let him come in, I'll ask, if you really read it, you understand, it's not too late to borrow it." ”

It turned out that the huge and beautiful voice was not Ou Yan's voice.

Qiu Tong came out and motioned for Zhang Xiaohua to enter the house, and when Zhang Xiaohua carefully entered the house, she saw that directly above the hall sat a twenty-something, very dignified and beautiful woman, that temperament was like Liu Qian, the skin was white and lush, if it weren't for the current Danfeng eyes, and Liu Qian was almond eyes, Zhang Xiaohua really wanted to blurt out "sister-in-law"; and on the side of the hall, there sat a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face, who looked very dark and rough, and although her clothes were gorgeous, she couldn't hide her waist like a bucket.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that the voice that circled the beam for three days just now was not made by this woman?

At this time, Ou Yan spoke and said, "Are you Zhang Xiaohua?"

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly retracted her gaze, bowed deeply, and said, "Yes, Sister Zhuang, I am Zhang Xiaohua." ”

Ou Yan was a little flustered, almost laughed, and said, "Sister, hehe, no one has called me sister for a long time." Zhang Xiaohua, your little mouth is really sweet. ”

Zhang Xiaohua didn't feel it, she couldn't help scratching her head, and said, "Is there any problem?" ”

Ou Yan didn't get annoyed, but just asked, "Why did you remember to call me sister?"

Zhang Xiaohuaqi said: "The owner of the village is older than the age, I myself want to call my sister, moreover, the owner of the village and my sister-in-law look very similar, just now I almost called the sister-in-law, by the way, my sister-in-law is called Liu Qian, she and my eldest brother before marriage, I called her Sister Liu, so, I feel that the owner is very kind, of course, I should be called sister." ”

The black woman next to her spoke, and a crisp voice sounded in Zhang Xiaohua's ears: "Hehe, this little flower, it's really interesting, I haven't seen such a simple child for a long time." ”

Zhang Xiaohua looked at this woman and couldn't help but say, "My sister's voice is really good." ”

Ou Yan smiled and said, "Just call her Sister Qin, call a few more times, and she will say a few more words to you, so that you can listen more." ”

That woman turned out to be Aunt Qin of the Ethereal Sect Mingcui Hall.

Zhang Xiaohua listened to it and said to the woman honestly, "Sister Qin is good." ”

Aunt Qin couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a smile: "Everyone else calls me Aunt Qin, you kid, you actually call me sister, it doesn't matter, it sounds very comfortable, if you need something to do in the future, just open your mouth." ”

Ou Yan smiled even more and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, don't thank Sister Qin soon, she doesn't speak easily." ”

Zhang Xiaohua was confused, and Shi Li said, "Sister Xiexie Qin." ”

In fact, he didn't think so, the sky wouldn't drop pies for nothing, he met others for the first time, and he would never help himself for a title, and he didn't know what Ou Yan meant, probably just talking about playing.

The crowd laughed and said a few more words.

Ou Yancai asked Zhang Xiaohua: "Zhang Xiaohua, have you read all these books?" ”

Zhang Xiaohua said honestly: "I've seen it, sister of the owner." ”

Ou Yan frowned a little this time, and said, "Sister Zhuang sounds quite awkward, you can call me Sister Ou or Sister Yan." ”

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Got it, Sister Ou." ”

Ou Yan didn't believe Zhang Xiaohua's words very much, and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, the most taboo thing about reading books is not to seek much understanding, and to be greedy and chew more, last time I heard He Tianshu say that you have read a lot of books, this time you took so many books, and you can read them so quickly, can you remember and understand?"

Zhang Xiaohua was a little anxious and said, "Really, Sister Ou, I know everything, but it was because I understood all these books that I realized that I didn't understand too much." ”

When Ou Yan heard him say this, his expression was relieved, and he said, "In this case, let me ask you a few questions." ”

After speaking, Ou Yan flipped through those books and picked some questions from them for Zhang Xiaohua to answer.

In Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, these questions are not problems at all, they are clearly written in the book, so he answers them without thinking, and he is very fluent.

Ou Yan was very happy to see that Zhang Xiaohua replied quickly, almost following his own words, and picked a few questions that were not in these books and asked him to answer.

This time, Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, and answered the answer she thought was appropriate according to the knowledge she had read.

Ou Yan was even more happy when she heard this, and after pointing out the inappropriateness of Zhang Xiaohua's answer, she said: "Zhang Xiaohua, I can't see it, you are really proficient in these words, very haode, you wait, I will bring you more books, hello haode, if you don't understand something, come and ask me." ”

After speaking, he confessed to Aunt Qin, and went out with Qiu Tong with a smile on his face.

In the hall, only Aunt Qin and Zhang Xiaohua were left.

Aunt Qin saw Zhang Xiaohua standing there with low eyebrows, so she talked to him about her family routine and asked about Zhang Xiaohua's current situation. Zhang Xiaohua did not shy away from this sister who spoke very nicely, and told her how she came to Pingyang City, how she came to Huanxi Villa, and how she was injured, only the Beidou God Fist and sword moves did not say anything, Aunt Qin listened to Zhang Xiaohua's experience, and she was also embarrassed, but also thought of her childhood experience, and couldn't help but feel closer to Zhang Xiaohua.

As he was talking, Ou Yan came back, and Qiu Tong in the back actually took a white cloth package, which was very heavy, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly ran over to take it, and it was also a sinking hand, thinking that there were a lot of books inside.

Ou Yan sat down in her seat and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, these are the books I picked out according to your situation, hello haode read." Just now, listening to Qiu Tong, you actually know the road of combining theory with practice, it is really good, to continue to walk along this avenue, how far you can go, it is good for you and our villa. ”

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Haode, Sister Ou, I will read hard and practice hard, hoping to help Sister Ou solve the problem of seeds." ”

Speaking of seeds, Ou Yan couldn't hide a sad look between her brows, and said: "Your expectation is haode, but if you can find the reason just by reading these books, I would have found it from it a long time ago." ”

Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed, this determination seemed to be out of time, and said: "The ancients are good, the three stinkers have beaten Zhuge Liang, everyone thinks of a way together, it may not be hopeless." ”

Ou Yan smiled: "What you said is also reasonable, but many things cannot be solved by a large number of people, and only high-level talents can be handled." ”

Then, Ou Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you can take a look at these books first, and after a while, I will take you to see the real experts, how people serve herbs." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Tong's face changed and said, "Miss, have you decided to go by yourself?"

Aunt Qin also said: "Yan'er, you have to think clearly, the road is far away, thousands of miles away, can your body eat?"

Ou Yan said with a smile: "Sister Qin doesn't have to worry about me, although the road is a little farther, didn't Qiu Tong go through it last time?

Qiu Tong begged: "Miss, let's go again, you shoulder the fate of the villa, it's better to stay in the villa and preside over the overall situation, let's do these runaway jobs." ”

Ou Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Seeing that a year has passed, these seeds still have not moved, this is a big problem related to the improvement of the strength of the Ethereal faction, I made a package ticket in front of the eldest brother that day, if I can't solve it, won't I become a sinner in the faction?"

Aunt Qin also persuaded: "These seeds have long been lost, and the specific planting method may have been gone for a long time, although you said that you made a package ticket in front of the gang leader that day, but most of them were not planted, why care about this?"

Ou Yan smiled even more bitterly: "It is this point that is the most important thing, the last time Qiu Tong went to that trip, people closed the door and disappeared, presumably because they thought that we didn't pay enough attention to it, if I don't go again, won't this door be cut off?"

Aunt Qin and Qiu Tong saw that they couldn't dissuade Ou Yan, so they stopped talking, only Zhang Xiaohua listened to these three people, like listening to a book from heaven, I don't know what they were talking about, it seems that it was the time when they were injured, didn't Qiu Tong say that she went to the south and didn't come to see herself? Listening to this meaning, she went to ask someone to solve the problem of seeds, but people felt that Qiu Tong's identity was wrong, and she didn't see her behind closed doors, and Qiu Tong came back empty-handed. Now Ou Yan wants to go in person, well, listen to Ou Yan's meaning, and take herself with her, the other two feel that Ou Yan's status is noble, and they are afraid of accidents, so they will stop it.

Zhang Xiaohua figured it out, and saw that the three of them were a little interested, so she quickly thanked Ou Yan for borrowing the book, and was about to retire. Ou Yan smiled and encouraged a few more words, and then asked Qiu Tong to take him down.

Qiu Tong was not in a very good mood, so he took Zhang Xiaohua to Qiu Ju's courtyard with a calm face, and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, if you want to find me or the owner of the village next time, don't rush into it again, although you are young, you still have to abide by the rules of the villa, wait here to see Qiu Ju or other people, let them come in and find me, okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled: "I know, Sister Qiutong, don't be unhappy, I believe there must be a solution." ”

Qiu Tong smiled and said, "Got it, Xiaohua, you should also work hard, I hope you can help." ”

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua walking away with a bag of books, Qiu Tong turned around and walked quickly.

Zhang Xiaohua walked back with a large bag of books in her left hand, and she also lost Zhang Xiaohua's strength of five hundred pounds in one arm, which made it seem like a light weight, and it was really enough to change someone else, and I don't know how Qiu Tong got it from the study to the living room just now.

When Zhang Xiaohua returned to the house, threw the package on the kang, drank some water, and opened it to see, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "My good boy, there are really a lot, there are dozens of books, no wonder it's so heavy." ”

However, Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed again, so many books, and she had something to rely on for the long night.

In the evening, when Zhang Xiaohua finished practicing martial arts and opened a book casually, he suddenly found that it was a little different from the previous books, first of all, the previous books were relatively basic, and now these books are obviously more esoteric, just suitable for Zhang Xiaohua's current level, just look at it, they are scratching Zhang Xiaohua's itch, so that he is reluctant to let go; ,Only to find out that these words are written on this page when reading the experience,This way of reading Zhang Xiaohua is the first time to encounter,I didn't feel that my eyes lit up,Read it carefully。

The more Zhang Xiaohua reads, the more frightened she becomes, the more she admires the person who writes, the annotations in these blank spaces not only write the key points of this page, but even quote the scriptures, and write a lot of things in a similar way, which is enough to show the reader's profound knowledge, looking at it, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of something, put down the book in his hand, picked up a book from the kang, opened it and looked, sure enough, there are dense annotations in the book, and then Zhang Xiaohua picked up a few books casually, all of which are the same.

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly, such a beautiful handwriting is none other than the owner Ou Yan. Looking at such a large pile of books, she can actually read them in such detail, Zhang Xiaohua admires it from the bottom of her heart.

There is another point, that is, full of gratitude, this owner's sister really does not think that she is an outsider, and she does not hesitate to borrow the books she reads on weekdays, at this moment, Zhang Xiaohua really put Sister Ou and her sister-in-law on the same level.

With a sufficient amount of books to read, Zhang Xiaohua's life will be enriched when she leaves, working in the medicine fields, practicing martial arts in the woods, reading under the lamp, three points and one line, Zhang Xiaohua is not lonely at all.

It's just that in her spare time, Zhang Xiaohua is also looking forward to traveling far away!

Last time Sister Qiu Tong traveled to the south for a few months, said that it was the south, I really want to go out to see, I have the farthest in my life to come to Pingyang City, but only a few days away, from the books, this southern climate, living habits and other aspects are very different from Pingyang City, and many medicinal materials are different from Pingyang City, if you can go to see in person, of course, it is stronger than just reading books.

The ancients were good, read thousands of books, and traveled thousands of miles. This kind of pursuit, now Zhang Xiaohua actually has it, and the book is really cultivating people to play good things.

However, the trip did not come soon because of Zhang Xiaohua's thoughts, and after a few days, no one had any news, and gradually, Zhang Xiaohua stopped worrying.

On this day, Zhang Xiaohua was working in the fields as always, and saw He Tianshu come over with a few people, both of them were old people with white hair, and a few slightly younger people were behind, some of them seemed to be polite, and some of them seemed to be powerful, but their attitude was the same as He Tianshu's, and they were respectful to the two of them.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed, she had never seen Captain He like this, presumably these two were the top of the Pharmacy Hall, and she was not a person from the Ethereal Sect, and she didn't need to put that posture on him respectfully, so Zhang Xiaohua lowered her body, carefully sent the soil, hoeed the grass, carefully looked at each herb, and observed their state.

It's a pity that it backfired, He Tianshu saw him from afar, and he didn't plan to let him go, and was leading the group of people to this side, and when he got closer, He Tianshu called: "Zhang Xiaohua, come over for a while." ”

Zhang Xiaohua looked up helplessly, picked up a small hoe, and walked over.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua approaching, He Tianshu said to him: "Zhang Xiaohua, come and see the White Hall Master and Elder He of our Pharmacy Hall." ”

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly bowed deeply and said, "I've seen the White Hall Master, Elder He." ”

He Tianshu smiled and said to the purple-faced old man: "Master Baitang, this is the Zhang Xiaohua I mentioned to you, she is very down-to-earth and capable, and she is extremely smart, and she has read a lot of books about medicinal herbs. ”

The two of them didn't return the salute, but the white hall master waved his hand slightly, while Elder He nodded undeniably and didn't speak.

And He Tianshu was still a little uninteresting and said: "Master Baitang, you see, Zhang Xiaohua is very eager to learn, there are a lot of books in our hall, can you lend one or two to open his eyes? ”

Before the White Hall Master could speak, a middle-aged man next to him spoke, and said, "He Tianshu, I see that you have been in Huanxi Villa for a long time, and you have long forgotten the rules of our Ethereal Sect, how can the collection of books in this hall be exploited by outsiders?"

He Tianshu smiled bitterly and said, "I know this rule, Senior Brother Chang, but isn't this Xiaohua also a person from Huanxi Villa, and he is not an outsider when he is in his hands." ”
