After parting with Ye Qiu, Bai Shi led the horse and walked towards Ouyang's house with inquiries all the way. And Ye Qiu didn't leave, he took the thousand crystal coins given to him by Baishi, and left them in this feathering city. Then he found a blacksmith shop and started a new life, starting a life that he thought was meaningful to life.

It wasn't until the afternoon of this day, when the red glow appeared in the sky, that Baishi finally found the location of Ouyang's family.

Looking at the glittering three words 'Ouyang Mansion' on the gate, Bai Shi's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. The Ouyang Jingjing who made him think about it day and night, and worried about it, was close in front of him, but it seemed to be far away from the end of the world.

The Ouyang Mansion is so big that at a glance at Baishi, you can't see the end of this Ouyang Mansion. There are a large number of houses lined up in the house, but the perimeter of these houses is blocked by stone walls, like the location of a city.

There were two guards standing outside the gate of the mansion, these two guards looked very solemn, holding spears in their hands, and when their eyes swept over Baishi, they subconsciously stayed on Baishi's body for a moment, but they moved it away.

Mustering up enough courage, Bai Shi finally walked over and asked, "Excuse me, is your family's Miss Ouyang Jingjing here?"

One of the strong men looked at Shiraishi again and said, "What are you looking for our young lady?"

Shiraishi smiled and said, "Oh, I'm an old man of hers. ”

Frowning slightly, the strong man didn't seem to believe it, but he didn't speak loudly, but said calmly: "Miss has been unwell recently, and besides, no one else can enter here without the permission of the master." ”

Answered, at this time, an old man came out of this Ouyang Mansion, this old man was smiling, there was a young woman beside him, and the woman seemed to be a servant of the Ouyang family.

The old man was dressed in a blue robe, his hair was gray, and his face looked wrinkled. It seems that it has gone through countless years. At this moment, he smiled, but with a kind of kindness, as if he was talking to the woman about something. He was carrying a medicinal incense on his body, presumably it was Lang Zhong invited by the Ouyang family, I don't know who was sick.

The young woman put her hands in front of her waist and abdomen, looking very anxious.

After a while, the old man walked out of the Ouyang Mansion, and then one of the guards in the mansion asked, "Doctor, how is our young lady?"

Hear the words. Bai Shi's body was stunned, thinking that Ouyang Jingjing must be unwell, but this is not the time to startle the snake, he wants to continue to listen, listen to what the old man will say, and then follow the old man and ask for some news from the old man.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I really haven't seen Miss's condition. I've already prescribed some for her though...... In a few more days. Let's take a look. ”

The strong man nodded, and after thanking him, he saw the old man walking out of the mansion and walking straight to the west of Ouyang's house. There, it's an alley.

Shiraishi cautiously followed the old man until he avoided the sight of the two guards. The old man in front of him suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Shiraishi. said: "Little brother, what are you going to do if you follow me so far?"

Shiraishi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this old man would know that he was following him, but since he had been discovered by the other party, Bai Shi did not hide it, and said, "I'm sorry, old man, the young lady they said was Ouyang Jingjing?"

The old man frowned slightly, looked Baishi up and down, and said, "You're the first time you've come to this Feather City, right?"

Shiraishi nodded and said, "Not only is it the first time I've come to this Feather City, but it's also the first time I've come to this second day. ”

The old man smiled kindly, and that smile was very casual. Obviously, he didn't feel the slightest fear of being followed by an uninvited guest, or he didn't have to be afraid at all.

"This Ouyang family is Ouyang Jingjing's daughter, and the Ouyang family they are talking about is naturally Ouyang Jingjing. The old man said.

After Baishi answered, he continued to ask, "Then what is her condition, and what disease does she have?"

The old man saw that Bai Shi was so anxious, and said, "Seeing that you are so nervous, why, do you know her?"

Shiraishi smiled and said, "Yes, she and I were an old person from a long time ago, but we haven't seen each other for a long time. ”

The old man obviously knew something, and after pretending to frown at the moment, he asked, "Are you from the Daochen True Realm, and you are also from Xichenzhuang?"

When Bai Shi heard this, his eyes showed surprise, but he didn't ask too much, but nodded.

"How is Xichenzi?" the old man continued.

This sentence made an inexplicable warm current flow in De Baishi's heart, and he looked at the old man, as if he saw some hope in the old man. Some hope to see Ouyang Jingjing. And this old man is obviously an old acquaintance with Xi Chenzi.

"Could it be that Old Mr. and Master Xichen once knew each other?" Bai Shi said again with certainty.

The old man smiled, touched the beard on his chin, and said, "That guy in Xichen used to love to compete with me. But now I'm afraid they're too old to look good. I grew up with him. Nature is all too familiar. ”

Bai Shi secretly said in his heart, he clearly knew that if he passed through this relationship, maybe he didn't have to become a Hakka of the Jingnan family, and he could also meet Ouyang Jingjing.

"Since you are from the Daochen True Realm, you are also a disciple of Na Xichenzi. Why don't you have a fate, why don't you live with me first, I still have a lot of things to ask you for. The old man said modestly. Asking for advice is undoubtedly that this old man wants to know everything about Xichenzi and Xichenzhuang from Baishi's mouth.

Shiraishi hesitated, but he would never refuse, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "It's okay...... After all, I have no relatives in this feathered city, and I can be taken care of by the old man, and Shiraishi is naturally grateful. ”

The old man smiled and nodded, and did not stay where he was, but walked forward with the white stone.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, and the old man also knew that Baishi and Ouyang Jingjing knew each other in Xichenzhuang. But Bai Shi didn't tell him everything about Ouyang Jingjing.

It wasn't until they came to a stop in front of a small courtyard that the old man turned to look at Shiraishi and said, "This is my home." ”

Shiraishi walked into the small courtyard with the old man.

Although the small courtyard is not large, it is very neatly furnished. There are two wooden houses in the courtyard, and the wooden houses are surrounded by flower pots. It's the season when the flowers are in full bloom, so the flowers exude an intoxicating fragrance.

On one side of the wooden house is a small piece of land. The soil in the field has been loosened and free of any weeds, but it is full of medicinal herbs. Some of them are sprouting, while others are already bearing medicinal fruits.

On one side of this area, there is a dead tree that has grown for an unknown number of years, and there is a black crow on the tree. The black crow was not frightened in any way by the arrival of Shiraishi and the old man. On the contrary, he did not notice their arrival, but looked up at the sky, as if looking for something, even if it was a black crow, but at this moment, it would inevitably make people feel a kind of melancholy and sadness, it was a lonely and lonely back.

On the other side of the hut is a small stream, which is not naturally formed, but artificially created. There is a wooden bridge on it. The murmuring of the stream woke up the quiet night.

On one side of the stream, there is a stone table, around which there are four stone benches, and even though the sky is already dark, the white stone can still faintly see the chessboard carved on the stone table.

This small courtyard is very close to Ouyang's mansion, through the small courtyard, you can see the city wall of Ouyang's mansion, and even see the towering pavilions inside the city wall. Shiraishi looked at the pavilions with a somewhat confused expression. It seemed that he saw Ouyang Jingjing's figure, but he quickly determined that it was a hallucination.

"Come in. ”

The old man pushed open the door, and with the creaking sound of the door, he called out to Shiraishi, who looked a little confused.

As if suddenly realized, Bai Shi's body was slightly stunned, and then he showed a stalemate smile, nodded, and followed the old man into the wooden house.

As soon as he entered the wooden house, Shiraishi smelled a burst of tea fragrance, which was so strong that it even filled the entire room, although he didn't know the name of the tea, but when Shiraishi smelled it, he couldn't help but want to taste a few sips.

The tea was still boiling on the stove, and the old man must not have been out for long, but after lifting the tea from the stove, he found a teacup, and then poured half a cup of tea into it, and handed it to Shiraishi.

After thanking him, Bai Shi did not refuse, and said with a smile: "I heard from the old gentleman just now that he has a lot of fate with Daochen Zhenjie, and he is also an old acquaintance with Master Xichen. I don't know if the old gentleman can recognize Uncle Dongchen, Uncle Beichen and Uncle Nanchen. ”

The old man smiled and said, "I am a straightforward person, and those who can get along will be along, and those who can't get along will ignore them." That Bei Chenzi has a lonely personality and no one in his eyes, even if he knows, he pretends not to know. Nan Chenzi was naturally calculating, although low-key. But he is worried about everything everywhere, and he is the grass on the wall, and the people who fall on both sides. That's the kind of person I can't see the most. As for that Dongchenzi......"

When the old man said this, he suddenly smiled and continued: "Although he has a strange personality, he is a good person, born with good wine, and I can't compare to him in terms of drinking, so I usually don't have as much interaction with him as Xi Chenzi." ”

Hearing this, Bai Shi nodded and continued: "In that case, the juniors don't know how to address you, old man. ”

The old man's eyes showed memories, hiding a kind of pride, and said: "They used to call me Tianchenzi, but no one has called me that for a long time. I have long forgotten this name, and now others call me, Yao Lao. (To be continued......)
