"I thought you forgot." I smiled, opened my backpack, took out the bronze sword and handed it over.
Only then did I see the true face of this thing. The neatly interlaced diamond patterns on it all showed the exquisite skills of the ancients.
"Precious sword, precious sword, this is the authentic demon-slaying sword. This trip is really worth it." Heizi held the sword and raised it between his eyes. His look made him want to get into the sword.
"Senior brother, is there something missing from this sword?" Heizi kept staring at the sword.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I will make it for you. I will use the best wood to wrap the scabbard to your satisfaction." I naturally understood what he wanted.
"Senior brother, I love you." Heizi looked at me with a charming look on his face.
"Don't disgust me..." I pretended to want to vomit.
"You brat..." Before I could recover my expression, a roar came over me.
"Why didn't you tell me when you came back? Why didn't you tell me when you were leaving? You made me worried." Yang Lan cursed and entered the store, followed by Yang Zhi.
"Uncle Tian, Uncle Heizi." Yang Zhi smiled and bowed, and kept hiding next to Yang Lan and winking at us.
"Sister, look, I got a treasure." Heizi stepped forward excitedly, showing off the bronze sword in his hand.
"This thing of yours is a cultural relic. I suggest you hand it in..." Before Yang Lan could speak, Qiu Sheng walked in behind him.
"Don't scare the young people." The old man was actually there.
"Uncle Qiu, you can't see me in a good mood this early in the morning." Heizi was really anxious.
"I'll ask your Uncle Wang to open a document for you later." Qiu Sheng laughed and laughed.
"Uncle Qiu, do you know the uncle?" I took a step forward.
"This is my old leader, your Uncle Wang's old leader, and your Uncle Wang's leader." Qiu Sheng looked at the uncle with a very respectful look.
"Heizi, your uncle Qiu's logic is comparable to yours." I looked at Heizi and nodded.
"Okay, okay, what a leader, I'm just a bad old man now." The uncle smiled and waved his hand.
Yang Lan was originally very angry, but with the extraordinary temperament of the old man here, it was hard for her to get angry with us.
"Uncle, my name is Zhang Tianyi." I just remembered that I haven't introduced myself yet.
"My name is Zhao Quan." Heizi also said quickly and respectfully.
"Just call me Lao Zhou." The uncle said kindly.
"How can that be done..." I shook my head violently.
"That's right, how dare you..." Heizi quickly agreed.
"It's just a title. It makes me look younger and I can live for a few more years." The uncle smiled and looked at Qiu Sheng.
"Why do you always say such things again, hey..." Qiu Sheng lowered his head with a frown on his face.
"Why didn't you tell me that my old man was gone?" The uncle suddenly looked at Qiu Sheng with a straight face. The old man was naturally talking about our master.
This was about to launch an attack, so Heizi and I quickly took a few steps back.
Who is Yang Lan? Naturally, she also felt the old man's aura, and pulled Yang Zhi back to us.
"I'm busy, this..." Before Qiu Sheng finished speaking, the uncle raised his hand.
Qiu Sheng was so frightened that he closed his eyes and lowered his head, but did not dare to dodge.
"Hey... from now on, take good care of these two boys. If anyone has any objections to these two boys, ask him to come to me. Okay, send me back." After all, the uncle was not willing to fight.
"Uncle..." Heizi and I saw that the uncle turned around and was about to leave, so we quickly chased him out.
"I told you to call me Lao Zhou." The uncle stopped, his eyes gleaming, and Heizi and I were so scared that we froze in place.
"Old Zhou..." Heizi and I shouted tremblingly.
"Good boy, if your dog has cubs, remember to leave one for me." Lao Zhou pointed at Dahei who was standing aside.
"Absolutely." I nodded vigorously.
"Must." Heizi agreed in a deep voice.
"Let's go." Lao Zhou glanced at Qiu Sheng angrily.
Qiu Sheng had no choice but to follow him obediently.
"Lao Zhou, let's go after dinner." I dared to shout.
Heizi looked at me in horror, and Lao Zhou also stopped.
"Hahaha, no need, call me if you need anything." Lao Zhou smiled, smiling happily.
Qiu Sheng, on the other hand, originally had his head down, but when he heard the call, he looked at me suddenly as if he had been electrocuted.
"This Lao Zhou is not an ordinary person. How do you know each other?" Lao Zhou and Qiu Sheng walked away before Yang Lan came over.
"It's a long story. If I had some good wine and meat, I could tell this story." Heizi looked at Yang Lan thoughtfully.
"Let's go shopping with mom." Yang Lan smiled, waved to Yang Zhi, and walked towards the vegetable market.
Kuroko and I smiled at each other and sat directly on the steps in front of the store.
The "Mujian Pavilion" across the street actually kept its word and has already started to demolish the store.
Seeing the signboard opposite being taken down, Heizi and I couldn't be happier.
Dahei looked up at the sky and ran out.
"What are you doing? Is Dahei crazy?" Heizi turned around and asked.
"I haven't seen Uncle Bai in the past few days, you are so stupid." I scolded him with a smile.
"Oh, that's right, Uncle Bai, when you told me, I want to eat sesame seeds." Heizi swallowed as he spoke.
Dahei came and went quickly, with the familiar bag hanging in his mouth.
The warm sunshine was shining on my body, I was chewing sesame seed cakes and looking up at the signboard of "Guyangju", everything was worth it.
The old housekeeper lowered his head and stood in Zhao Sihai's study.
Zhao Sihai paced back and forth, too angry to say a word.
"I didn't get the bracelet, and they found the crystal flower..." Zhao Sihai stopped, with a bitter look on his face.
"Fourth Master, why don't we invite someone?" The old housekeeper offered advice in a low voice.
"Who are you inviting?" Zhao Sihai looked at the old housekeeper angrily.
"Since they can get the crystal flower, their Taoism must be high. We have to ask a Taoist master to help us deal with them." The old housekeeper was desperate.
"They insist on respecting their teachers. How can they deal with their own people? I think you are really stupid." Zhao Sihai scolded him directly.
"Wherever there is good, there is evil." The old housekeeper did not panic this time, but raised his head with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Sihai's eyes lit up.
"I have a way, and the evil cultivation is unfathomable." The old butler's eyes were dark.
"This time, don't embarrass me again." Zhao Sihai smiled evilly and nodded.
I don’t know whether it’s because we haven’t eaten anything good these days, or because Yang Lan’s cooking skills have improved again, but Heizi ate three large bowls for lunch.
"Eat less. If you encounter that situation again, I really can't hold you back." I blurted out.
But Heizi was so frightened that he coughed violently.
"Uncle Heizi, what's going on?" Yang Zhi immediately started asking questions.
"Oh, it's okay, it's very dangerous anyway. Thanks to your Uncle Heizi, you got injured trying to save me. I'll let him tell you later." I quickly helped Heizi smooth things over.
The way Heizi looks at me now is almost the same as looking at his bronze sword.
After dinner, Yang Zhi pestered Heizi to tell stories.
Yang Lan sat at the tea table, drinking tea and chatting with me.
"Does Zhou Jiaonan know that you are going into the mountain this time?" Yang Lan opened her mouth and came.
I almost spit out the tea in my mouth.
"How dare you tell her..." I dodge my eyes and deliberately avoid this topic.
"Don't you really know her affection for you?" Yang Lan didn't give me a chance to escape.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? What we have is a purely working relationship." I said nonsense seriously.
"I thought my brother valued love and righteousness, but I didn't expect that this girl would be tempted. Now he says such things. I misjudged you." Yang Lan's eyes were blazing, and his tone of voice when he spoke to me was unprecedentedly serious.
"No, sister, I...I have my own difficulties." I do value the word friendship. My master has always taught me to be a person with love and justice. When I mentioned these two words, I couldn't hold myself back.
"Then tell me what's your problem? I'm your sister, can't you tell me too?" Yang Lan softened her tone.
"Besides, if you keep running away like this, do you want to delay others for the rest of your life?" Yang Lan changed the subject and made me shudder.
"How can I waste my whole life? There are so many better people than me, not to mention her conditions are so good..." In fact, deep down in my heart, I have always felt inferior.
"Sister, I've been through this before. Let me tell you the truth. Do you think she might fall in love with someone else after experiencing so many weird things with you?" Yang Lan stared at me intently. Her words didn't sound like comforting me. .
"I really have my difficulties..." But the closer I get to the truth, the less I dare to face it.
"Tell me, sister, I'll help you find a way." Yang Lan straightened up as she spoke, looking like she was making the decision for me.
