It is said that Xu Huaigu left Bailiang Mountain and his group and continued to rush to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. Unexpectedly, he had been delayed in the Yangtong Mine for too long. Before he reached the top of the mountain, the white fish belly on the horizon became brighter and brighter. Then, a red sun burst out, illuminating Bailiang Mountain very brightly. bright.
Xu Huaigu was still among the woods at this time. He looked up at the sky, sighed helplessly, and said to himself: "It's too late. Sure enough, there are very few things in the world that are satisfactory." Having said that, , but he met many interesting people along the way up the mountain, and negotiated a big deal with Fang Shengming, so his trip was not in vain, so Xu Huaigu didn't feel it was a pity.
He stopped for a while in the mountains, thought about something, and then continued down the mountain. Zhao Liuping had promised before that he would have a meal with his family at noon before returning to Suchang.
Gu Sanyue should have received his messenger flying sword, so he wouldn't worry about it, and Xu Huaigu could stay in the mountain for a while longer with peace of mind.
Gu Sanyue, a little girl, has been following Xu Huaigu for more than a year, and she is also her disciple in name.
Xu Huaigu was not a cold-natured person, so she naturally held a lot of weight in his heart. After thinking about it, he walked to the small house of the Fang family.
Fang He was still running wildly outside. When he saw Xu Huaigu coming from a distance, he shouted excitedly: "Mom, mother! Brother Xu is back! Can we have dinner?" Zhao Liuping said with a doting smile, He walked out of the house in response and saw it was Xu Huaigu, so he said to Fang He: "I told you, you said Brother Xu, you thought it was Xu Songtu who came back, but it turned out to be Xu Huaigu. You call Xu Songtu Brother Xu, and Xu Huaigu also calls him Brother Xu." Brother Xu, how can people tell the difference?" When Fang He heard this, he realized that it made sense, and he frowned and became confused.
She thought about it, and suddenly a happy smile appeared on her face, and she said: "How about... one of them is called Brother Xu, and the other is Brother Xu?" Zhao Liuping smiled and said: "Of course. But, which one is the one? Which of your eldest brothers, Xu, is the second brother?" Fang He pursed his lips, blinked his eyes in an odd way, and said, "I haven't decided yet, whoever treats me well will be the eldest brother." A burst of laughter came: "Of course it's me. I saved you, right, Fang He?" The person who said this was naturally Xu Huaigu. While the mother and daughter were chatting, Xu Huaigu had already left. When he arrived in front of the two of them, he looked at Fang He with a smile on his face.
Fang He made a face at him and said with a smile: "I won't tell you." Zhao Liuping took Fang He's hand and said to Xu Huaigu with a doting look on his face: "The child's character, don't be the same as her." Xu Huaigu nodded. , so Zhao Liuping said to Fang He: "Look, you have been playing wildly outside since you got up early this morning. Is it time to go back for lunch now? Be careful of being hungry." Fang He said with a smile: " Mom, what should we have for lunch today?"
"Mom has made your favorite fish soup for you, so you can eat several more bowls of rice. By the way, the medicine has also been fried. When you finish eating, you can drink the medicine as well." When it was time to eat, Fang He's eyes were still bright, but when he heard about taking medicine, his brows furrowed again, looking unhappy.
Fang He grimaced and said tentatively: "Mom, can you not drink it? Every time I take that medicine, it's so painful that my tongue can't taste it for several days. I don't want to drink it." Zhao Liuping looked at it distressedly. She said in a firm tone: "No, if you don't take medicine, how can you get better? Don't worry, Mom has found a cure for your disease. In a few days, when Mom has everything ready, you will be cured." You don’t need to take medicine anymore for your illness." Fang He said unhappily.
He said "Oh", then got up and walked home. Zhao Liuping frowned slightly and glanced at Xu Huaigu apologetically, then the two of them followed Fang He and went in for lunch.
Since Fang He was present, this lunch was obviously not a time to talk about business, but just a simple lunch. After Xu Huaigu had eaten, he continued down the mountain and prepared to return to Suchang.
When he walked to the gravel path again, he met the group of women delivering food that he had met yesterday, but He Qiaoer was not among them.
Xu Huaigu stepped forward to inquire a few words, and then he found out that it was said that after returning yesterday, He Qiaoer's father had arranged a marriage with someone else, but He Qiaoer didn't seem to be very happy about it. This caused a conflict with his father, so I didn’t go up the mountain to deliver food today.
Xu Huaigu understood that these trivial things were countless in the world. He just asked and wouldn't interfere at all.
So we walked down the mountain and along the path back to Suchang's temporary house. It was almost evening.
Before he could knock on the door, he heard the whirring sound of someone wielding a knife inside. Needless to say, it was Gu Sanyue. During this year, no matter whether Xu Huaigu was by her side or not, whenever he had time, Gu Sanyue was definitely practicing boxing and swordsmanship.
Regarding this, Xu Huaigu was very pleased, otherwise Gu Sanyue would never have such a heavy weight in his heart.
The door was unlocked, Xu Huaigu pushed it open gently, and saw a familiar figure dancing with a sword in the open space in the front yard.
Next to her was a bucket, and with her steps, the water surface was making ripples one after another.
The flying knife surface reflects the light of the setting sun from time to time, which looks very beautiful. In the corner of the yard, there was a man in black sitting on a chair, looking at it intently. It was Xu Songtu who stayed in Suchang to accompany Yue Yue.
As soon as Xu Huaigu opened the door, he noticed the knife-wielding figure. She smiled happily and shouted: "Master, you are back!" Seeing her look like she was about to stop, Xu Huaigu said: "Don't stop, wait until you finish practicing, then talk." When Gu Sanyue heard this, he He didn't stop and continued practicing his sword.
Xu Huaigu walked to the corner and saw that Xu Songtu had not taken his eyes off Gu Sanyue, with a smile still lingering on his lips, so he said, "What? Are you attracted to my apprentice?" Xu Songtu shook his head. But there was still appreciation in his eyes, and he said: "As a disciple, you can afford to endure hardships, and you will definitely make great achievements in the future." Xu Huaigu curled his lips, as if he was not happy with Xu Songtu's mature judgment, and said: " You are only in your early twenties, but you talk like you are so powerful. My apprentice, it is not your turn to talk like this. You see this woman practices so hard, and you are still sitting here watching, I If it were you, I would die of shame." Xu Songtu smiled and said, "What about you? Didn't you also go to Bailiang Mountain and play for two days?"
"I'm not going to play, your master and I went to talk about business." Xu Songtu frowned and asked doubtfully: "Have you met my master?" Xu Huaigu also looked at Gu Sanyule and said casually: "Not only your master, but also Your wife and uncle are all here. You'd better go back as soon as possible, your master is probably preparing to find you." Xu Songtu asked, "How do you say this?"
"The serious matter that your master and I discussed is related to you." Xu Songtu suddenly became alert and asked quickly: "What did you talk about? What does it have to do with me?" Xu Huaigu said calmly: " Why are you asking me? Go back and ask your master." Xu Songtu looked at him displeased and asked: "The last question, where are you and Gu Sanyue from, and what are your identities?" Xu Huaigu remained serious. Face, he just said: "Don't ask me, ask your master. If he is willing to say it, just say it. If he is not willing, it will not be good for you if I say it now." Xu Songtu thought to himself that this is really a weirdo, and looked at it again After looking over there for a moment, Yue Yue picked up the sword in his hand and slowly left the house, probably going back to Bailiang Mountain.
So Xu Huaigu sat in the seat where Xu Songtu had been, watching Gu Sanyue practice swordsmanship for who knows how long, then he closed his eyes and began to think about Bailiang Mountain.
This matter involves the royal family of Jingyu Kingdom, and there is a copper mine. It is not a trivial matter, and some details need to be carefully considered.
After about an hour or two, the whirring sound of sword dancing finally stopped, and then a woman said: "Master, today's sword practice is finished!" Xu Huaigu slowly opened his eyes and asked: "What about yesterday?"
"Xu Songtu and I went shopping in Suchang yesterday. We didn't practice during the day, but we practiced all night and made up for it." Xu Huaigu nodded, indicating that he understood.
So Gu Sanyue ran to him and said with a smile: "Master, I received your message flying sword last night. You were playing in the mountains and you were still thinking of me." Xu Huaigu said seriously: "Second First, I didn’t go up the mountain for fun as a teacher, I have serious business to do. Second, Feijian sent you the message because I’m afraid that you will be lazy when I’m not around.” After this year of companionship, Gu Sanyue naturally put Xu Huaigu’s After feeling his temper, he knew that his serious appearance was just an act, so he made no excuses and said, "Master, I saw a lot of interesting things when I was playing in Suchang yesterday." Xu Huaigu said : "Then tell me." Gu Sanyule said with a smile: "By the way, I know that Master, you have to drink wherever you go, so I even bought good wine, so we drank and talked." After that, she Then he ran back to the house, took out the jar of immortal wine from Qing Yuezhai, brought two sea bowls, placed them on a small table in the front yard, poured the wine, and handed one bowl to Xu Huaigu. Put a bowl in front of yourself.
Xu Huaigu brought the wine to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, showing a satisfied smile, and said: "Not bad, not bad, it is indeed a good wine." Seeing that Xu Huaigu liked it, Gu Sanyue smiled happily, with a bit of pride in his tone, and said: "That's not it. .I asked Xu Songtute to take me to the best wine shop to buy this. Speaking of this wine shop, when we went there, we also ran into the boss and his daughter having a conflict, and we almost didn’t buy the wine. ." Xu Huaigu calmly picked up the wine bowl and drank slowly. When he heard what Gu Sanyue said, he nodded, and Gu Sanyue continued to talk about what she saw and heard in Suchang City.
