March 11th.
In the afternoon, around the beginning of the morning.
On the northwest side of Dongxing Mountain, under the cliff, in the barren valley of the Mingshui River.
On the edge of the vast mountains and dense forests, Jing Zhaoyue and the others walked through the forest and arrived at a stream beach with dense bushes, muddy swamps, or shallow water flowing slowly.
On the side of a gravel path, across a cluster of reeds, we arrived at a wooden water stack.
The three of them walked over the mountains and ridges for a long time, with more or less debris from the ghost needles hanging on their bodies, and they walked hard along several trails to get here.
Jinzi frowned, looked at Jing Zhaoyue and muttered: "Brother Yue, didn't Old Uncle Qian say your family is a wealthy family? How did you end up in such a remote place in the countryside? Hey, we have to be honest people, so we can't make such big claims. "
After finishing speaking, Jin Zi curled her lips and glared at Old Qiantou, and cursed: "Uncle Old Qian, take a look, can the people who live here be called rich families?"
Lao Qiantou found a stuck edge of a wooden board next to the water stack, shook the mud off his iron bamboo hiking pole, and replied cheerfully: "Silly girl, who said those who live here are not wealthy people?" Already? Just wait, and when you get to the villa, you will know what it means to have a great family and a great business."
Jing Zhaoyue listened to Jinzi's words and smiled, "We have to be honest in life, so we can't talk nonsense like that." He initially thought of accepting a disciple because he saw that the girl was honest and had good bones. Jing Zhaoyue walked slowly to the end of the water stack and slowly took off his mask. In front of him was a swampy muddy land with vast reeds mixed with low shrubs. He looked at a small island standing in the distance with a happy face. .
At this time, Jinzi looked at Jing Zhaoyue and took off the mask, revealing a delicate face. She couldn't help but panic. She was dressed in white brocade clothes. Although she looked a little embarrassed in the forest, the breeze passed by and the sleeves were slightly swaying. I feel like I am a person in heaven, floating out of the dust.
"How's it going? Little girl, I told you a long time ago that the young master is so handsome..." Old Qiantou waved his hand in front of Jizi's eyes, who stared straight at Jing Zhaoyue, and teased.
Only then did Ji Zi come back to her senses, with a look of surprise on her face, and muttered: "It's okay, just... so-so..."
Old Qiantou curled his lips and said sarcastically to her: "It's just so so. You girl broke off a few parts of your sentence and you peeked... I'm really not ashamed." After Old Qiantou finished speaking, he glanced at the place in the distance. He looked at the rising island and muttered: "Let's go, it's time to go home."
Jinzi looked at Old Qiantou and asked doubtfully: "Uncle Old Qian, what are you talking about? This place is a dead end, how can a boat pass by? This muddy land cannot be passed even if there is a boat. Let's go back Home? Where are you going?"
Lao Qiantou pointed to the island in the distance and said with a smile: "That's it!" After he finished speaking, he squatted down beside Guizi, patted his back, and muttered: "Little girl, come up here. "
"What, you still want to carry me?" Concubine muttered.
"What, you want me to carry you over? That's okay!" After Old Uncle Qian said, he stood up, grabbed the clothes on the back of the girl behind him, lifted her up, and jumped out of the water. Stack, he directly used Qinggong to go to the island. He carried Guizi and jumped over the tops of the reeds and small shrubs. He jumped up and down, and his Qinggong was outstanding.
Jing Zhaoyue then tiptoed to the edge of the water stack, jumped out, and followed to fly to the island.
The places where it lands are mostly reed tips, and the distance it jumps out with each Qinggong jump is two or three times further than that of Old Uncle Qian. The subtleties show his ability, but I didn’t see the concubine being carried upside down...
"Uncle Qian, can you please stop? I think you should carry me there on your back. I didn't know you were going to go home with Qinggong..." The girl was being carried and cried out in pain.
Old Uncle Qian took a breath, and took advantage of the buffering gap in the air to murmur back: "I was about to carry you, but if you don't come up, it's all swampy. If you fall, you won't be able to get up. But there's no way." Let me carry you on my back instead."
Jizi's face turned red from being strangled, and she held her clothes at the collar with both hands to prevent her from being out of breath. She scolded back, "You told me you were going to fly me there, eh..."
"Don't be anxious, be patient, it will only take about a quarter of an hour, let's
It's over. "Old Qiantou muttered.
"A quarter of an hour..." Jizi suppressed her anger and simply shut up. It would be easier to breathe through her nose this way. When she landed, she would find another opportunity to trick old Uncle Qian. This time, it would be I made a note of it in my mind!
About a quarter of an hour later, the three of them landed firmly on a stone beach paved with fist-sized pebbles.
The island is full of trees with flowers and fruits of various colors. In late spring, it is still prosperous.
There are thin trees with red and white cherry blossoms, plum trees with spring stamens and white petals, large-leaved magnolias, and yellow-flowered wind chimes... The flowers are not only red, but also willow green, banyan green, camphor green...
"Ahem, Uncle Qian, you're about to strangle me to death..." As soon as she said this, she stood up, looked up at the wild woods near the stone beach, and started to marvel. : "Wow, what a beautiful place!"
The old money man chuckled and said, "Well, I told you before. Our house has red mountains and green willows, and ordinary people can't afford it. Why can't we be considered a wealthy family?"
Jinzi curled her lips and said, "Yes, yes, is it possible that you planted these flowers and trees?"
"Hey, stinky girl, don't believe it, these flowers and trees were planted by me and my old lady." Old Qiantou said this, proudly puffing up his chest, and then shouted to the green bamboo forest among the flowers over there. Said: "Li Cuihua!! Lots of money! Come out to pick someone up!"
After shouting, a long-haired girl wearing a floral skirt and braids ran out from a corridor under the bamboo forest. She was short, with bright yellow skin, a small round face, and a smile between her eyebrows. A heroic spirit.
"Dad!!!" The girl rushed over and threw herself into Lao Qiantou's arms. She rubbed her head against Lao Qiantou's chest with a look of joy on her face, "Dad, dad, You miss me so much, but you are finally back!"
"Hey, come on, come on, let daddy see how our girl has grown in the past few years? Isn't it this year?" Old Qiantou smiled and pinched his daughter Qian Duoduo's face, "Oh, she has grown taller. Now, she has gained weight! Li Cuihua did a good job in raising my daughter to be fat and healthy."
At this time, an old woman with a round face walked slowly not far away. She was about her age, her hair was tied up, and she was dressed in indigo clothes. She frowned and came to a few people. She leaned over and said to Jing Zhaoyue: "I have seen the young master." , I finally got you back."
Jing Zhaoyue waved her hand and replied: "Aunt Li has been busy taking care of Jinhu Villa in the past few years."
"Young Master, you are serious. This is the duty of this old slave." Li Cuihua, the old money man's daughter-in-law, replied.
"Let's go back to the village." Jing Zhaoyue nodded.
Concubine looked at these two strangers and couldn't let go. She became shy and stood blankly on one side, looking at the old uncle Qian who had been quarreling with her all day long. He could still marry a wife and a daughter. ...
"This girl is...?" Li Cuihua asked Lao Qiantou. His daughter Qian Duoduo also held his arm and turned to look at this young girl.
Old Qiantou replied: "This is a wandering girl we picked up on the way, called Concubine. Firstly, the young master wants to take her as his disciple. Secondly, you two are the only ones in Jinhu Villa who are lonely, so you can stay with Duoduo." Be a companion."
"Oh." Li Cuihua nodded, turned to look at Jinzi, and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't be afraid. Let's go back and prepare a delicious meal for you."
"Thank you Aunt Li." Jin Zi smiled and bowed.
"Oh, little girl, you are on the right track! You are sensible!" Lao Qiantou smiled and praised Guizi.
Jing Zhaoyue walked in front, and Lao Qiantou and his family walked behind with their concubine.
"Cui Hua'er? I have been traveling with the young master for more than six years. Do you think I have? Why did you come out to greet us and walk away slowly?" Old Qiantou had a playful smile on his face and looked at his wife like an old ruffian.
Li Cuihua frowned and cursed: "I didn't think about it, how unbecoming it would be to walk too fast."
On one side, their daughter Qian Duoduo made trouble and muttered to Old Qiantou in a low voice: "Look, look, look, my breathing has not stabilized yet. I am sure that I ran here at a light kung fu and a trot in the bamboo forest. I only slowed down when I reached the bamboo forest." footsteps, hehe."
Li Cuihua turned around
He glared at his daughter and was so frightened that Qian Duoduo made a "shh" gesture to the old man.
...
