At the entrance of Toutiao Alley in Wuchao Town, Zhang Ma and Sister Qing were standing by each other as usual.
Business has improved a lot recently. The Qingyu Sect launched a large-scale siege on Wulong Mountain. The sect only left two elders in charge. The leader, the remaining elders, most of the inner disciples, most of the deacons, and the families attached to the sect were all mobilized. Hundreds of monks.
And there are thousands of attendant stewards, domestic servants, maids, etc., plus the surrounding aristocratic families and casual cultivators who come to visit, ask for advice, and even watch the excitement, Wuchao Town at the foot of Wulong Mountain , naturally it became lively.
The Qingyu Sect had occupied the mountain for two months and was reluctant to leave. They searched Wulong Mountain and only caught Mao San and a few bandits who had no time to evacuate. Naturally, they were unwilling to give up, so they sent more people to search everywhere. Hope to find the whereabouts of the principal criminals such as Boss Wang and Dai Gao. With such an arrangement, I don’t know how long I will stay in Wulong Mountain.
Therefore, Zhang Ma and Sister Qing have no worries about business. They have actually made a lot of money in the past two months. After all, people like Qingyu Sect are much richer than the casual cultivators in Wulong Mountain and are willing to spend money.
But Sister Qing is still unhappy. In fact, I haven't seen her smiling face much since last year.
Another guest who looked like a butler inquired about the situation in the alley, and was warmly welcomed in by Zhang Ma. After making arrangements, he came out and continued to nibble on melon seeds in the corner.
After drinking for a while, she couldn't help it anymore and babbled to Sister Qing: "This guest is very generous. He is rewarded with two taels of silver. I heard that he is the steward of the Wang family in the north of Dongting Lake. Why do you think they are so rich? ?”
"Well, Qingyu Sect..."
"Qing'er, please be more proactive when guests come again. I'll take them to your home. He's always so languid and uncommunicative. How can you do business? Those sisters under your command are still counting on you! Last time Dai Sanren Come on, if you refuse, how embarrassing will it be for others? That’s a rare visitor."
"I know, Zhang Ma..."
"Qing'er, actually I know what you are thinking. Ever since I heard that Mr. Sanxuan passed away last year, you have stopped going to battle in person. I know that old guy is capable, but people cannot be resurrected, so they have to look forward! These two months , how many uncles have fallen in love with you, even up to twenty taels, you don’t agree? You know, Zhang Ma didn’t stop until she was fifty years old. How old are you? Are you over thirty? So good My figure has been ruined!"
"Ma Zhang was joking..."
Mr. Sanxuan, can you just live? That's different, it's not just intense, it's also ethereal and sublimated. Sister Qing was thinking in her heart, but she didn't want to say this. Zhang Ma was already old and she couldn't understand it. In short, she just felt boring, so boring!
Even the human-shaped money bags walking around on the street are so... I don't know how to put it, it's just boring.
Watching the people coming and going with empty eyes, she thought of a guest who came last month. The guest and his girl Xiaohong were about to leave after finishing their affairs. Suddenly she asked who Mr. Sanxuan was because he was on Ganzhu Ridge. I saw a simple tomb.
Maybe I should go to Qianzhuling to see Mr. Sanxuan and renovate his tomb? After all, Lu Shui and his wife have done it many times, and this kind of kindness is still very memorable.
By the way, after the Qingyu Sect leaves, let’s take a look at the newly grown Liu Xiaolou. After all, he is the descendant of Mr. Sanxuan. I wonder how much of the old gentleman’s skills he has learned?
By the way, Xiaolou is really handsome. Why didn't you notice it before?
While she was thinking about it, her eyes suddenly lit up and her waist straightened up. Isn't the young man hurriedly passing by on the street carrying a bamboo basket none other than Liu Xiaolou?
"Mother Zhang, please look after her for me. I'll leave for a while." After saying that, Sister Qing went onto the street and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.
She came from a martial arts family and was also a martial arts expert when she was young. With light steps, she gradually caught up with Liu Xiaolou in front of her, followed closely behind Liu Xiaolou, and watched him arrive in front of a small courtyard in the south of the town.
So he has been hiding here?
Seeing Liu Xiaolou open the door and go in, but the door was not closed, Sister Qing picked up her steps, held her breath, quietly came to the door, and looked inside.
Liu Xiaolou put down his backpack and took out rice, grains, pickles, vegetables and other items from it. Sister Qing felt distressed for a moment: without his master to take care of him, he has to cook everything by himself. His life must be very hard, right?
But Liu Xiaolou was cleaning up and said: "Sister Qing, come in."
Sister Qing stepped in and said, "Xiaolou, have you always lived here?"
Liu Xiaolou put the things away, turned around and smiled: "The Qingyu Sect is surrounded by mountains, so we have to live here temporarily."
Sister Qing complained: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Liu Xiaolou chuckled, "I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble."
Sister Qing shook her head: "What trouble can there be? Folks in the countryside naturally have to take care of each other. Is it possible that they can team up with outsiders to bully our own people? Besides, sister and you Sanxuanmen can be considered a family. I will take care of you from now on. .”
Liu Xiaolou said: "What do you need to take care of? I can live on my own, and besides, I still need to practice..."
Sister Qing rolled up her sleeves: "Just stay here, I'll cook for you..."
He drove Liu Xiaolou out of the kitchen, pushed him down into a chair under the north room, and pinched his face lovingly with his fingers: "What do you want to eat?"
Suddenly I saw the big white goose floating in the courtyard pool. I walked over in two steps, reached out and grabbed the big white goose by its neck, and pulled it out: "It's quite fat. Did you just buy it? I'll make you a goose stew pot!"
The big white goose was leisurely and leisurely when it was unexpectedly caught by Sister Qing, and she was immediately shocked. With two squeaking sounds, the beak pecked at Sister Qing's wrist, extremely swiftly.
Sister Qing was not careful, and her skin was pecked by it. She was surprised and said: "What a beast!" She flipped her wrist, used her small grappling hand, and exchanged several moves with the big white goose.
Liu Xiaolou quickly stopped and told the origin of the big white goose. Only then did Sister Qing realize. She stepped forward and hugged the snow-white long neck with distress: "It turns out that it was raised by my husband. It's my sister. It's not my fault. I misunderstood. Sister, go." I’ll buy a new goose and let you try the stewed goose, it’s delicious!”
The big white goose flapped its wings, broke away from Sister Qing's arms, and walked back into the pool, not wanting to talk to Sister Qing.
Liu Xiaolou was very helpless: "Sister Qing, you really don't regard yourself as an outsider..."
Sister Qing smiled and said: "I'm not an outsider at all. Speaking of which, I can be regarded as half of your master's wife."
Liu Xiaolou was speechless: "I remember the teacher didn't miss any money..."
Sister Qing said: "I have been saving all the living expenses your teacher gave me, and I will give them to you as a betrothal gift when Xiaolou gets married!"
Liu Xiaolou was simply defeated by her: "Sister Qing, why are you here today? Just tell me."
Sister Qing tucks her hair into a bun beside her ears: "Xiaolou, your master has passed on the Yin and Yang technique of your Sanxuan Sect to you, right? Have you practiced it? Do you have many questions? I will give you some pointers, take a good look at it. not good?"
