The orioles return to their nests, and the swallows fly low.
Flowers such as camellias, roses, and fine reds are gradually falling by the Xiyun Lake, but the tea flowers in the garden behind Huatan Temple are blooming beautifully, which is in line with the saying, "After the tea flowers bloom, the flowers will stop." '
However, no matter how beautiful the flowers bloom, they will eventually fade away under the baptism of drizzle.
Already, March 30th.
It was dark in the morning, and in the afternoon, heavy rain gradually fell.
Xiao Yu took Li Luo and An Ning to hang out in a big teahouse in the city all morning, and listened to the storyteller talk about "The Legend of the Swordsman" for a long time. Before the rain started, he said goodbye to Li Luo and the others. It's time to go back to Uncle Liu's Tavern.
In fact, I am going to buy clothes to wear tomorrow, as well as raincoats and bamboo hats.
By the time he came out of the silk shop, it was already drizzling.
Yuelai Restaurant.
There is no longer a fake Lu Jiao or a real Lu Jiao in the restaurant, and the guests coming and going return to normal.
Xiaoyu wore a raincoat and a bamboo hat, lowered her head, and stepped into the inn.
Xiao Yu thought to herself that Huatan Temple has been peaceful these days, and she has not heard of people from the Lu Sect bringing gold.
However, although these barbarians are fierce, they are famous for their loyalty in the world. What should be delivered will naturally be delivered. It should be later. All he wants is a banknote that can be taken away quickly.
And the people in Jiangnan who started their business without any reason would never have thought that Ji Ruge would appear in the restaurant where they had ambushed.
The brim of Xiaoyu's bamboo hat covered half of his face, making it difficult for others to recognize him.
Of course, there was no familiar person in the inn. Even if Xiaoyu's whole face was exposed, no one would recognize him.
The younger brother came up to welcome him.
"Hey, sir, it's better to stay in the hotel."
The second brother wanted to reach out and take the raincoat that Xiaoyu had taken off, but Xiaoyu was holding a package in his hand, letting the raindrops on his body fall on the floor of the restaurant, and had no intention of taking off the raincoat and hat.
"Stay in the hotel."
"Here, please." The second brother led him to the counter.
Xiao Yu took out a tael of silver from her arms and placed it on the counter in front of the shopkeeper Shen Yue.
"The corner room upstairs, there's no need to look for it for two days." Xiaoyu said solemnly.
Shen Yue saw that this person still hadn't taken off his bamboo hat and raincoat in the room, which was a bit weird. Others lowered their heads, and the bamboo hat covered half of his face. He probably didn't want to meet strangers, so it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions. He was a rich guy.
He collected the money, gave him the key, and asked the second brother to lead him upstairs to the room at the corner.
The younger brother stood in front of the room and made an inviting gesture to Xiaoyu, "Sir, if you want the room you want, summon us anytime if you need anything."
Xiaoyu waved her hand and motioned for him to go down.
Open the door with the key, Xiaoyu goes in and bolts the door.
He took off his raincoat and bamboo hat, threw the parcel on the bed, then took off his raincoat and bamboo hat, and shook off the rainwater on his body.
This room was at an off-angle. He had seen it with Li Luo and An Ning at the Loutai Inn across the street. This room was the one at the most off-angle in the Yuelai Restaurant, and it was also the room on the roof of a nearby residence.
If you want to go out through the window, this is the best place, and the view is relatively biased. There is an alley with few people at the bottom. As a place to escape after completing the task, it is the best choice.
Tomorrow is the first day of April, and he is going to take action.
Ge Ming of the Mingyi Sword Sect, Lu Wei and Lu Fang of the Luoyue Sect were in Huatan Temple, Ge Changshou was in Gejiazhuang, and Wang Heng of the Ba Dao Sect was in Chunhua Valley.
Ge Ming, Lu Wei, Lu Fang, and Wang Heng were all going to Gejiazhuang to attend Ge Changshou's birthday.
Xiaoyu's plan is to kill them on the road.
Ge Ming was first, Lu Wei and Lu Fang were second, and Wang Heng was last.
The things in the room were arranged properly, Xiaoyu jumped out from the window, took a few small steps, and landed in the alley.
What Xiao Yu knew was that Ge Ming and others who had disguised themselves as Lu Jiao stayed on the second floor of the Yuelai Restaurant. He also knew about Ruan Qingchou's escape, but he didn't know that the room where Ruan Qingchou escaped was the room where he stayed. .
Went back to Uncle Liu's Tavern in the drizzle.
At the door of Uncle Liu's Tavern, Xiaoyu instinctively stretched out his feet to wipe the mud stuck to the soles of his feet on the old locust tree.
Then I thought about it, maybe I won't come back tomorrow. Aunt Li said that this is the Feng Shui tree of Uncle Liu's Tavern, it can't be dirty! He retracted his feet and scraped the mud off his feet a few times with the 'out of business' wooden board that Uncle Liu had hung on a small locust tree on one side.
Pushing the door open, Uncle Six sat on the edge of the fence enjoying the rain.
"I'm back! Why don't you hurry up and go to the back room to change clothes to avoid catching the wind and cold." Although Uncle Liu was stingy, he really cared about Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu smiled and ran under the wine shed in a few steps, "Uncle Six, look at the rain."
Uncle Six laughed and replied: "Yes, tomorrow will be the beginning of summer, and the rain will not stop. It seems that there will be enough rain this summer, and the crops will be harvested! Yes, yes."
Xiaoyu didn't say anything, went into Uncle Six's house, found himself a pair of clean coarse clothes, put them on, and then walked out of the house.
"Uncle Six, we haven't been open for a few days. I found a job in Chunhua Valley outside the city. I was repairing a house for others and needed a porter. I'll go there early tomorrow with a pole to mix in some money. I can't use it. How do you feel about it in a few days?" Xiao Yu stood at the door and looked at Uncle Liu.
Uncle Six nodded and replied: "Okay, it saves me from having to take care of your food and drink every day. You still have money to earn. Those people in this city won't be able to open their businesses for a while if they don't leave. Go ahead and go." Bar."
Xiao Yu replied: "I won't eat in the tavern anymore, but I will come back to stay later."
Uncle Six nodded, "Okay!... Well, by the way, you go to the back and feed the chickens. You can make dinner tonight and wait for Uncle Liu to come back."
Xiaoyu nodded, turned around and ran to the backyard.
He didn't tell Uncle Six that tonight might be the last time he would see him. After he left tomorrow morning, he didn't know when the next time they would see him would be.
He didn't make excuses by saying he was going back to his hometown, so as not to say goodbye to Uncle Six and make Uncle Six feel sad.
It can be seen that Uncle Six and Aunt Li treat him very well and treat him as their own.
As soon as tomorrow is gone, go.
When you wake up early tomorrow morning, quietly leave a note under your pillow for Uncle Six. When Uncle Six cleans up, he will naturally know that he is gone.
In this way, even if Uncle Liu is reluctant to leave and sheds tears, he won't be able to see her, so he won't have to experience the sorrow of farewell.
backyard.
Xiaoyu fed the chicken, took care of the ingredients prepared by Uncle Six on the stove, and then looked at the round, yellow and straight bamboo pole standing next to the pile of debris.
There are hemp ropes tied at both ends, which are the poles brought by Xiaoyu himself.
In fact, inside is the sword that he has always carried with him when he traveled around the world these years, the Sword of Annihilation.
The old man said it was his father's sword, but he only remembered that the father the old man mentioned was the so-called cold swordsman, not the father who had accompanied him in his memory since childhood.
As early as he could remember, he knew that his mother was named Shi Ruyin, and there was a man he called his father named Shen San.
And he never understood why his surname was not Shen, but Ji, Ji Ruge.
Until later, the mother said that they lived in An's home by the Zhuoshui River. His biological father was a crazy swordsman who was addicted to swords. He was called Sword Mad Ji Wuxu in the world.
Xiaoyu's childhood memories were not good. Both his mother and foster father were killed by bad guys in front of him. He later grew up with the old man, and the so-called biological father was the old man's subordinate.
After Ji Wuxu died, the old man took him around and finally met his master.
And Ji Wuxu's sword is the sword of annihilation inside the bamboo pole.
It was also the old man who took out the firestick from under the stove in the shabby thatched house in Hejia Village, Daguishan. Xiaoyu remembered that on the eve of his first mission, he took the black stick and washed it with a rag by the stream for a long time.
Clean the scabbard and draw the sword.
Only then did I realize that it was a good sword. After all these years, the edge of the sword remained the same, with a red handle, a white glow, and a sharp edge that cut iron like mud and blew hair off.
I was lost in thought, and when I came back to my senses, I saw that the rice in the pot was ready to be scooped out and steamed.
Xiao Yu hurriedly got to work and cooked this meal for Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu seriously.
