That night, I ate well and slept warmly. It was the first time that I slept so soundly in such an environment. It wasn't until the next morning that Xiao Baihua woke me up and gave me water to wash my face. Now Xiao Baihua really looks like a little daughter-in-law, which makes my heart really warm.
But after all, this place is still close to the grassland and there is no other food, so the breakfast is still meat. Naturally, Chongxi welcomes all comers, but it was a bit uncomfortable for me to eat, so I didn’t take a few bites.
Obviously, this short uncle was not a careful person, and he didn't notice it at all, so I just didn't cause any trouble. The old man didn't keep us long. After dinner in the morning, he urged us to get on the road quickly, so as not to let the old guy outside the valley wait in a hurry. I thought in my heart that although this uncle behaved in a vulgar way, he was still a chivalrous person. But until I left, I didn’t know the name of this wretched-looking uncle. After all, he was an elder, and I was too embarrassed to ask if he didn’t tell me.
Walking freely all the way, Chongxi took out a piece of beef jerky from his pocket, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. The boy ate it as a snack and kept his mouth busy. When we came out of ** Valley, the old man filled our pockets with delicious food, water, and wine. It seems that this uncle really did not work for nothing!
When there were few bushes, we trotted, and when there were many bushes, we walked leisurely. After walking for dozens of miles, we saw a tent in front of us from a distance. There was a black horse outside the tent, and sitting on it was a young man wearing a wolfskin. clothing. He saw us from a distance and came to greet us. I cupped my fists and raised my hands, "Is this Young Master Murong here?" I replied, "I am Murong Shiyan!" The man bowed again and said, "Our master received a message and knew that the young master has arrived. I follow the order of my young master. We’re here to welcome him, and we’ve set up a tea stall to greet Mr. Murong on the way.” I thought to myself, is there any need to be so polite? So he hurriedly bowed his hands politely, and then asked: "I wonder what your father's surname is?" "My father's surname is Shang, and he is the leader of Xuantian Village." The young man replied.
The godmother then asked: "Is this the third master of the Six Tigers Beyond the Great Wall, Shang Pei Shang Daxian?" The other party responded with clasped fists, "Exactly!" The godmother nodded to me, and we were let into the tent. The table was set up inside and silver bowls were placed. We sat down and the host poured us milk tea. They set up a tent specifically on the road. It seemed like the host was really polite. I cupped my fists at the other party and said, "Thank you for taking care of me. I can't thank you enough." The young man quickly returned the courtesy: "Don't dare, I was sent to serve you. Our master and your father are brothers. The last time your Yin Yang Pavilion opened, it was My young master went to congratulate you. But I am not lucky enough to go with him."
After drinking tea, this person led the way and led us forward. Along the way, Xiao Baihua and I rode side by side. My godmother was sitting on Xiao Baihua's horse. They seemed to be about the same age. Some people even believed that my godmother was a girl and Xiao Baihua was my sister.
After walking for dozens of miles, we arrived at the village. Someone was already greeting him outside the village gate. A young man like a young man came up with a smile and clasped his fists. "It's been two years since we said goodbye to the Yin Yang Pavilion. Brothers have always been great! How is the business at the Yin Yang Pavilion?" I also cupped my fists and said, "Brother Shang has always been a good person. Thanks to Brother Shang, I can barely get by!" The eldest brother named Shang was very enthusiastic. We held hands and entered the village.
In fact, I feel guilty, because this businessman, I can never remember. During the opening ceremony, he received people during the day and ghosts and other non-human beings at night. Because there were so many people, I could not stay. What a deep impression!
When we got to the hall inside, we saw an old man with an imposing appearance sitting in the front seat. Mr. Shang introduced him, "This is my father." I quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Uncle is always kind, my nephew is here to greet me!" After saying that, I was about to kowtow, Mr. Shang stepped forward and grabbed me. The old man's voice was still loud and he smiled heartily, "You're welcome, come here. Just like at home, although your father and I are not sworn sworn brothers, we still have a brotherhood. We used to fight against enemies side by side. Your father is older, and we, the Six Tigers Beyond the Great Wall, all call him brother!" After saying this, the old man actually stepped down to greet us. I put my hand on the table and sat down, "The last time your Yin Yang Pavilion opened, I happened to have some mundane matters and couldn't go, so I asked my son to go there on my behalf. Since the opening, has the business been good?" I quickly said politely, "Please Thanks to my uncle, I can still get along!" At this time, a maid brought tea.
I wanted to introduce them one by one, "This is..." Before the word 'godmother' came out, the old man interrupted me and said, "I know this one!" As he said that, he looked at the godmother with a smile. He said, "I haven't seen you much in the past three hundred years. Are you always with Brother Hai?" The godmother's eyes were red and she said, "I've been looking for him everywhere. I haven't found him for more than three hundred years!" The old man said. She laughed and said, "Let me tell you, I was sure you were destined to be destined or not! I was afraid of hurting your emotions, so I didn't dare to say it. It's normal for people who practice Taoism to be pure and reticent, unlike us, a bunch of vulgar people." Godmother He was obviously frightened by the old man's words, because the old man equated his godmother with himself, and the godmother had once said that the old man was half-immortal, and he was much taller than his godmother. grade.
After that, I continued to introduce everyone, starting with the girls from Wulan Manor. After all, these girls were from horse bandits, and they were well-behaved in the green forest. They served tea to the old man one by one. Then there was Xiao Baihua. When the old man heard that this was my girlfriend, his future nephew-in-law, he was so happy that he was just as happy as his son Shang Gongzi marrying his wife. He even got into the temper of an old child and insisted on giving some gifts to little Baihua. In fact, Xiao Baihua is quite smart. From the moment she walked in, she heard me call the old man uncle, and Xiao Baihua just called me uncle one at a time. The old man was very happy when he heard this, and said that he wanted to give Xiao Baihua a small golden knife. Although I don't know if this little golden knife is valuable, but Xiao Baihua insisted on not having it, and the old man was not happy! Seeing this momentum, I quickly signaled to Little White Flower to take it. You must know that this kind of gift from someone who has already half-carried it into the immortal gate is absolutely extraordinary!
The old man became happy when he saw the little white flower taking it. I continued to introduce Lin Feng and Chong Xi to him. When introducing Chongxi, I didn’t expect the old man to know about Chongxi’s master, Mr. Chen! I just heard the old man laughing: "Young man, you are Lao Chen's disciple! Oh hahahaha, I didn't expect that old boy, Lao Chen, to have such a good disciple! Hahahaha, this old boy is a blessing!" Chong Xi simply couldn't believe it. Not knowing how to be polite, he actually said proudly: "Thank you, Mr. Shang, for the compliment!"
Mr. Shang laughed loudly and asked, "How is it? Has your master corrected his old habits?" This question filled Chong Xi's head with questions. The old man saw Chong Xi's doubts and said with a smile: "When you were young, your master had a bad habit. He relied on his ability in fortune-telling to look at people first and not talk about their character!" Only then did Chong Xi realize that this old Shang had known his master for a long time. , and my master was not blind at that time!
Chong Xi was outspoken and said immediately: "Master, his old problem has been cured decades ago. My master has been blind for decades!" Unexpectedly, Mr. Shang was stunned when he heard this. , it was like being hit on the back of the head by a brick, and I was trembling as I sat there! Then he asked Chongxi anxiously: "How many years ago did your master become blind!?" Chongxi thought for a while and replied: "Probably more than forty years, almost fifty years." What we didn't expect even more. Yes, when Mr. Shang heard what Chong Xi said, his eye circles turned red! Two lines of old tears actually came down!
Mr. Shang and I hurried forward to support the old man and persuade him to be more open-minded, although neither of us knew why the old man reacted so badly when he heard that Uncle Chen was blind. The old man sat there and cried for a while. He even patted his chest and shouted to the sky, "Old Chen, Old Chen, it's been decades since this happened. How can I afford it? You really shame me!" Everyone I was stunned when I heard this. I thought to myself, could the reason why the old blind man was blind in the first place have something to do with Mr. Shang? Mr. Shang's eyes were full of surprise at this time, but he still didn't say anything. He just handed his father tea and motioned for his father to take a few sips to calm down.
