Bala Tusi nodded again and again: "It's really better to listen to your words, than to read for ten years, Mr. Ou is worthy of being the sword ancestor, Bala I admire, admire, it's really my honor to be friends with you." ”

Ou Xuzi was no longer willing to listen to this kind of hypocrisy, and he said: "I am going to go to the snow-capped mountains with Brother Renci to find spruce and unfrozen springs, cut down trees and trees, and need manpower. ”

Bala Toast hurriedly said, "Do you want Mr. to do it himself, just leave this kind of thing to the housekeeper of China." ”

Ou Xuzi shook his head and said: "I have to choose the materials myself, the ancestors set up a furnace in the Zhanlu Mountain, which is high and densely forested, and selected wood spring water to burn it personally, and it took three years to finally cast the Zhanlu sword. Although I won't be able to use it for that long, the choice of materials is very important, and not every tree can be used. ”

Bala Toast raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let the Butler China follow you on a trip, and I will prepare the necessary manpower and items immediately." It is guaranteed that nothing will be delayed by the master. ”

Bala Toast's ghost scheming Ou Xuzi understands very well, send the Chi Na housekeeper to go, what can he do, Bala Tusi is afraid that he will leave halfway, let the Chi Na butler monitor himself at any time, purely with the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman, Ou Xuzi said: "Lord Tusi, it is okay for the Chi Na housekeeper to go, but this time into the mountain is not trivial, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I have to have the final say, otherwise, the treasure knife will not be cast." ”

Bala Tusima replied: "Naturally, everyone has to obey Mr. Ou's arrangement, and Steward China is no exception. ”

Then Bala Tusi changed his words and said: "In addition, I will send a ten-captain with the troops to set off with you, the place you are going to is Sun Moon Mountain, more than 4,000 meters above sea level, barren and uninhabited all year round, there is a bandit infested recently, you have to take precautions." After the timber is brought back, there is a charcoal kiln and an ice cellar in Tusi Mansion, when is Master Ou going to leave?"

Ou Xuzi said: "Without further ado, we will leave tomorrow." ”

Bala Toast nodded in satisfaction.

Ou Xuzi now lives in the Tusi Mansion, and it is still that wing, where the centurion Rigude has suffered a big loss, and he doesn't dare to go in at all. Renji lives next door to Ou Xuzi, and the room Bala Toast specially found someone to decorate it, and when Ou Xuzi first came to his residence, he was greeted by Miaoxuan.

Miao Xuan was dressed in Hanfu and greeted him respectfully at the door, and Bala Tusi said with a lewd smile: "Miao Xuan is your personal maid from today on, and she takes care of your daily life, and it is good to have a pillow person when you sleep at night, so you won't be lonely." ”

Ou Xuzi really didn't know what to say.

Ou Xuzi did not let his wife Xiao Xuanhan live in the Tusi Mansion, he kept in mind Renci's advice, Bala Tusi is a ** disciple, and the woman he likes will do everything possible to get into the Tusi Mansion, so as to satisfy his **, there are many Jiangnan women in the Tusi Mansion, all of whom he robbed, and Miao Xuan is one of them.

Miao Xuan is very beautiful, the pale green long skirt outlines her slender body, the wind bun shows her sideburns, her eyebrows are lightly swept, her eyebrows are lowered, and she does not show how happy she looks, she exudes melancholy and loneliness from her bones, so that her face is shrouded in a layer of dim light, but she stands so quietly in front of her, and her helpless expression makes Ou Xuzi's heart ache.

"Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove, late day snow desire, can drink a glass of nothing. Ou Xuzi remembered her poems, which were the affectionate confessions of the distressed woman to her compatriots, how much sorrow and helplessness were expressed in it, suspended in the air like green smoke, entangled in her broken soul, looking for a shoulder to rely on.

Ou Xuzi understands that a woman's suffering is so vulnerable. If a man stretches out his hand, if his fingers are hot, it doesn't matter to her who he is.

Ou Xuzi didn't stretch out his hand, countless tragic scenes appeared in front of his eyes, Yuan Bing's iron hooves under the county are not finished villages, the village is not complete, the family is not perfect, the people are not perfect, the land is thousands of miles, and the blood is flowing like a river. The country is ruined, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and women like Miaoxuan have become slaves of Bara Toast, surviving under power, is it much better than those women who are forcibly humiliated and thrown into the wilderness.

Ou Xuzi himself is wrestling with the jackal, the day is precarious, he can't do anything about Miaoxuan, he can't let this suffering woman's heart be stirred and bleed at one time, even if the broken heart is planted back in the chest, there is only a stagnant water.

Miao Xuan is very smart, lukewarm to Ou Xuzi, and keeps a certain distance, even if he goes to bed at night, Miao Xuan's clothes are not untied, and he sleeps on the side, and he can't even look at Ou Xuzi. Ou Xuzi's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
