It wasn't until he was clearing away the dishes that the young man realized why his mother had been busy in the side room. It turned out that she wanted to clear some space for Ye Dangting to rest, but he unexpectedly refused.
"Aunt Lin really doesn't need to go to such trouble. She will go to the shop to rest on the sixth day of the month. I will also go to the shop to rest together. We are used to being on the road these days, so there is really no need to bother." Ye Dangting was washing the dishes in the corner of the courtyard. Said the dish.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, here are the guests. The room in the main house that was originally occupied by the six-year-old girl is now used for the eleven-year-old girl to rest. The side room is also a place for storing sundries. These days You can let Ye Shaoxia rest first," Mother Lin persuaded with a smile.
"Aunt Lin really can't help it, otherwise Man Liu and I would go to the side room to rest together. How could I, a guest, occupy the house like this?" Faced with Lin Man Liu's mother's persuasion, Ye Dang listened. He had to compromise.
"Mom, it's okay! I'll sleep on the floor, and he'll sleep in the corner!" Lin Manliu said suddenly while packing the seats at the side.
"You kid! Why are you talking? Why don't you know how to respect your elders?" Mother Lin glared at the boy with some annoyance. Although she knew that her child must be joking, she still needed to be reminded.
"...Aunt Lin is fine, just let us go to the side room to rest together." Ye Dangting had no choice but to act as peacemaker.
Later, when it was time to actually rest, Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting were resting together against the wall in the side room, and neither of them touched the bed quilt on the floor.
Next day, early morning
The genius was slightly bright, and Lin's father went out to work for the government. Lin's mother and Eleven went to the front shop to place cakes, while Lin Manliu was kicked awake by Ye Dangting and started practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. , to use the meaning of eleven, it means that I have been out for three months and have not made any progress.
The boy in a short shirt was in the courtyard, repeatedly practicing the swordsmanship and sword moves he had seen, and what he was using at this time was the Spring Mountain Bamboo Surge that Ye Dangting taught him on the villa's campus.
"If the six roots are impure, how can you practice swords~~" Ye Dangting sat idle on the stone steps of the main house, carelessly rubbing his chin and sighing to the sky.
"Where did you hear this truth? I think you, the old liar, can't say such things at all." Lin Manliu was waving the spring window butterfly in his hand in the courtyard, and heard the old liar teasing himself.
"Of course it's not what I said, it's just what an old acquaintance said." Ye Dangting was still looking at the sky. He recalled that when they met in Yangzhou in the early years, the man held his bamboo umbrella with his yellow Only after playing the Ruby Sword did he learn the sword moves now used in Lin Manliu's courtyard.
"If you didn't say it yourself, why did you say it to me? Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you." Lin Manliu said as he sheathed his sword and prepared for the next sword move.
"Who are you talking about, you big kid? What are you showing off for now? Practice hard for me. Later I will go out to the city to quarrel with you. I haven't been beaten since I returned home." The old liar was The young man was so angry at this that he didn't even raise his head, and began to watch the young man practicing his sword carefully.
"I used to learn from my teacher in the school. Why are you only allowed to copy some principles from others, but I'm not allowed to imitate my teacher's speech?"
While the two were still joking with each other in the courtyard, there seemed to be some noise coming from the other end of the shop. After hearing the sound, Lin Manliu and Ye Dang had no intention of continuing the bickering, and leaned behind the door together to listen carefully.
"I said you Taoist priests, who are not practicing Taoism in the mountains, why are you coming to the city to bother us?" Eleven's voice spread from the shop to the backyard. The voice was obviously louder than usual, and it was obviously a deliberate reminder to the courtyard. Two of them came to watch the stars.
"Jushi Ye, I'm really sorry. Xiaodao was just sending a message to the temple leader. What happened yesterday was just an unintentional offence. I hope that Jushi Ye won't take it to heart..." Then came a strange voice, which should be that of the star visitor. Taoist priest.
"Did you, the master of the temple, not intend to offend? I'm afraid he knows it himself. He just wanted you to give him an explanation yesterday," Eleven scolded.
Outside the back door of the pastry shop.
"Then the star visitor doesn't come to cause trouble, but instead apologizes? This old fox is too tolerant," Ye Dangting said to himself.
"When Master went up the mountain to compete with swords, the old Taoist was afraid of his hands and feet. How could he be involved in last year's Sword Forging Peak incident?" Lin Manliu asked with some confusion.
"A man can bend and stretch, but this old fox is even more extraordinary. Let's learn from him in the future." Upon hearing this, Ye Dang knocked on the young man's forehead, and Lin Manliu gave the old liar a white eye in return.
The conversation outside the door continued, and Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting continued to listen at the door.
"Jeruist Ye, I really want to apologize to the layman and his friends for what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have bumped into the two of you so recklessly... If there is any need, the temple will share the burden for the layman. "I'm worried about lay people trying to save the siege." The voice of the Taoist priest came again.
"You still don't understand what I'm talking about, do you? I really can't tell that the few people who appeared in this street half a month ago were deliberately arranged by you?" Eleven's voice began to sound a little cold.
After Eleven's question ended, there was no more noise, and it became a little quiet for a while...
Just when Lin Manliu was about to secretly open the door to check the situation, the Taoist priest spoke out again: "The temple owner didn't know about this. It was Xiaodao who made his own decisions and then took the person away... The house he used should also be used as a reference." I gave the Star Temple to layman Ye as part of an apology. I hope the layman will not hold any grudge against me for visiting the Star Temple."
Lin Manliu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. What kind of old fox he was? Even after talking about this, he still let his disciple talk like this.
"There's no need to hold grudges. I'm just an idler in the market. I just ask you monks on the mountain not to bother me anymore." Eleven said impatiently.
"Then I won't disturb Master Ye. Then I will order someone to send the title deed to the house. I hope the layman will accept it..." The Taoist priest's voice seemed a little humble after hearing this.
"Why don't you get out of here? It's you who keep harassing me to stay here, as if I'm the bad guy."
"This is where the path bids farewell to Master Ye...".
There was a "pop--" and a crisp sound of slapping the table sounded from the shop, followed by the sound of footsteps tapping the ground. Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu didn't realize what was going on and immediately opened the door. And enter.
It turned out that it was Shiyi who slapped his palm on the table in the shop, which frightened the Taoist priest who visited the star temple and ran away.
"Pfft, what are you two doing? Is it because my voice is too soft or that stinking Taoist priest can't explain the matter clearly? Two big men have to stick to the door and eavesdrop." When Eleven saw the two of them crashing into the door, they started Hiding his face and smiling.
"I thought that the Taoist priest was driven into panic and resorted to some stupid trick..."
"Me too..." The two of them said awkwardly one after another.
