The main hall of Huiliu Mountain is magnificently built. There are dozens of tables and hundreds of chairs in the hall and it doesn't feel crowded.
Every time Xiaodong visits here, he always wonders.
I don't know which senior of the teacher's school is so ambitious and built the main hall so majestic and extraordinary. But there are only two or three kittens in Huiliu Mountain, and even those who watch the mountain gate and those who sweep the floor and cook together with such a small population of dozens of people make such a magnificent main hall useless and idle all day long. .
I don't know which customer came today, but the master led them to the main hall. Either there are a lot of visitors, or the family is expensive.
Xiaodong and Chen Jingzhi were the last to arrive. One was injured, and the other was worried about this injured person. When they arrived, all the people who should be on the mountain had already arrived.
Chen Jingzhi didn't want to attract attention at all, but the two who were late attracted everyone's attention, and everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked at them.
Li Fulin smiled and waved to the two young apprentices: "I'll just wait for you two, come quickly."
Chen Jingzhi stepped over, his waist was very straight at the moment, and his legs didn't look injured at all.
Xiaodong followed behind, and he could only say a word of admiration to the fourth senior brother for his patience.
If it were him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to bear the pain and walk away in such a grand manner.
And Senior Brother Chen walks very nicely and with style.
I heard that senior brother Chen came from a wealthy family, and usually he can't tell it, but now he can tell at a glance that their senior brothers are not of the same quality. He is a noble son, he, he... that is him.
Eldest brother and the others came early and had already met the guests, but the two of them came late, so they re-introduced and greeted each other again.
Xiaodong was very curious about the guests who would come up the mountain at this time.
Can you not be curious, he has been coming back to Liushan for more than half a year, and this is the first time a visitor has come back to the mountain.
Besides, at this time of year, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and the end of the year is approaching. I really can't think of anyone who will come to visit me at this time of year.
There were four visitors, one elder brought three juniors. The elder, surnamed Liu, wears a Gebu gown, a blue-gray crane cloak, and a sword case on his back. His eyebrows are very black and thick, and his eyes are like lightning, which is as sharp as a sword.
Xiaodong didn't dare to look at the elder who had a bad temper like this, so he hurriedly saluted and said hello. My impression of this person is that his eyebrows are so dark and thick.
The three juniors he brought were different from this Uncle Liu. All three of them had smiles on their faces, and they were all older than Xiaodong. Two of them had to be called Senior Brother and one Senior Sister.
Of course, they are not from the same school, but now they are called like this, and they seem affectionate to each other, as if someone said that the right way in the world is one family. Since it is a family, of course each other is a brother, a brother, a sister, a sister, you are welcome.
She looked about the same age as the senior brother and the others, but she was much less energetic. I don't know if it's because they are guests, but these three senior brothers and sisters are all dressed very brightly, and they don't seem to be the same as that senior Liu. What to wear on the body and what to wear on the head make people feel that the eyes are not enough to see, and even the tassel of the saber is strung with jade pendants and colorful gemstone beads.
Even though they were so jeweled, they didn't look vulgar, on the contrary, they were generous and magnificent, and greeted Chen Jingzhi and Xiaodong with a smile, calling them Junior Brother Chen and Junior Brother Yun.
Li Fulin obviously knew about Chen Jingzhi's injury, and asked him with concern: "How's the injury on the leg? I'll take a look for you later."
Chen Jingzhi said: "Master Lao remembers that the elder brother has already applied medicine to bind up my wound, and said that as long as I take care of it and change the medicine on time, I will be fine in a few days."
In front of the guests, Li Fulin didn't ask any more questions. After seeing the ceremony, he ordered to prepare a place for the guests, and prepare a table of good wine and food for them.
Senior Brother Jiang was still happy when he came out, Xiaodong saw him smiling, and asked curiously: "Master is back, third senior brother, are you so happy?"
"Happy." Jiang Fan leaned closer and whispered: "The wine we drank that day was secretly taken from the master, and it was a good wine that he was reluctant to drink at ordinary times. When the master came back and found that the wine was short, he must discipline people. This Once the guests come back and drink happily, the master will not remember the number of drinks."
No wonder he was so happy, it turned out that he escaped a scolding.
Xiaodong giggled, thinking that senior brother Jiang was not as honest as he seemed, and at the same time felt that it was a good thing that the guests came, so he quietly gave senior brother Jiang a thumbs up.
It's not up to the younger generation to entertain guests with wine and meals, so Xiaodong ate in his own room. Unexpectedly, the senior brother was busy and didn't forget him, so he asked someone to send him a bowl of freshly fried meatballs.
Xiaodong remembered that he had mentioned a few days ago that he was hungry for croquettes in winter, but it was expensive and troublesome. He just thought about it, but he was embarrassed to tell the kitchen staff that he wanted to eat this. It's almost the end of the new year, and we will definitely fry a lot of things together, and we can eat them sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, the elder brother remembered it and asked someone to bring it to him.
This thing will also be served on the table when entertaining guests, but after all, it is not a lot of trouble to make it usually. Did the elder brother make it for him in the name of entertaining guests under the guise of serving his guests
Xiaodong smiled from ear to ear, squeezed a ball and threw it into his mouth.
One word, fragrant.
It tastes the best when it is just fried. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Once you bite into it, the aroma of the heat will fill your mouth. Once it cools down, it will lose its taste. If it is heated again, it will be even worse. It will be old.
Xiaodong ate a whole bowl of meatballs with the hot soup, and ended up filling himself up.
Xiaodong was so stretched that he couldn't sit upright when he was meditating, and he always felt that his mouth tasted like meatballs.
It was already dark outside, and the wind picked up in gusts, and it would snow even if it wasn't even in the evening.
There are guests on the mountain, although they say that they have little relationship with Xiaodong, and they live far away, but they always feel a little uneasy.
This season is not the time to go out as a guest. Is that senior Liu planning to stay for two days before leaving, or is he planning to celebrate the New Year on the mountain
How could this celebrate the New Year at someone else's house? Anyway, you should go back to your own home.
Xiaodong was a little confused, could it be that people who practice Taoism and martial arts have different customs from ordinary people
He practiced the mental technique for a while. Although he couldn't go out, he went through the sword technique in his heart, how to raise his hand in this move, and how to match the footwork with that move. When the master is back, he will definitely test everyone's kung fu. Although Xiaodong's foundation is shallow, even if he fails to pass the test, the master will not punish him, but Xiaodong doesn't want to do that.
Senior Brother Jiang, Senior Sister Linglong, and even Senior Brother Chen have helped him a lot, not to mention how the Senior Senior Brother taught him. Yet? If he fights hard, the master will definitely know that the senior brother and the others have put their heart into it. (to be continued)
