Song Jingyan and her party arrived in the valley after more than a month of long journey.
The person who brought Lin Jingyan and the others up shouted from outside, "Mingxuan, open the door."
Ye Mingxuan and Li Chaoyang had just returned from the racecourse and were fishing for fish in the pond with Zhang Daqian and others, preparing for dinner in the evening.
He stopped immediately when he heard the shouting outside, "Why does it sound like Brother Niu's voice? Isn't he guarding Qingshan Town? Why did he come up?"
The two hurried to the door, opened the big wooden door, and saw a group of people outside. They looked at Song Jingyan in shock.
Ye Mingxuan said in surprise: "Sister Jingyan, why did you come up here? Where are Tongtong and Pingan? Didn't they go to Fengcheng? Why didn't they come back with you?"
Song Jingyan looked at the two of them and felt very friendly, "Mingxuan, Chaoyang, Tongtong and Ping An still have things to do, so the two gentlemen and I came up first."
Then he introduced the two gentlemen to them, "This is Mr. Bai and Mr. Sun from Mingyang Academy. Ping An invited them to come and teach."
Ye Mingxuan and Li Chaoyang immediately bowed their hands to them respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Bai, and hello, Mr. Sun. Welcome you two to our valley. The conditions here are simple. I hope you two gentlemen will not dislike it."
Bai Yuannian and Mr. Sun opened the wooden door of the valley, and they looked at everything inside.
Hearing the two people humbly saying that this place was shabby, they both smiled and shook their heads. To them, literati, this place is the paradise described in the book. Why is it so simple?
Mr. Sun smiled and said: "You two gentlemen are so humble. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is really a rare wonderland."
Ye Mingxuan said happily, "As long as you don't dislike it, sir."
Song Jingyan took out a letter and handed it to Ye Mingxuan, "This is written by Ping An. I want you to open it and read it immediately."
Ye Mingxuan immediately opened the letter. It contained his brother-in-law's arrangements for the two gentlemen, and also vaguely mentioned their identities.
After Ye Mingxuan read it, he gave the letter to Li Chaoyang. He called everyone into the valley.
At this time, Mantang, Zhang Daqian and others who were standing nearby came around, helped lead the horses and closed the door.
Mr. Bai and Mr. Sun nodded inwardly, feeling that these children were very well-behaved and polite.
Here Li Wenxiu also heard the commotion in the valley, and came over with Shitou's wife and Wenchang's wife.
When Ye Mingxuan saw Li Wenxiu, he immediately shouted: "Mom, Sister Jingyan is here, hurry up and clean her room."
Li Wenxiu walked over quickly and said with a smile on his face: "My child, it has been a tough journey."
"Auntie, it's not hard."
Li Wenxiu held her hand affectionately and looked at the people behind her, but she didn't recognize any of them.
She probably came with Song Jingyan. She was a woman and it was difficult to greet these men, so she only smiled and nodded to them.
Ye Dafeng and the men in the valley all went to the racecourse today and have not come back yet.
She ordered the boys, "Mingxuan, Chaoyang, quickly take some adults to rest."
"I know, mother."
Li Wenxiu then said to Wenchang's daughter-in-law and Shitou's daughter-in-law: "Guilan, Qiuyue, please go to the kitchen to prepare more dishes, and take care of Jingyan and all the adults tonight."
"Okay, sister-in-law." The two of them hurried to the kitchen to prepare.
Because there can't be so many people living in the valley.
Ye Mingxuan and Li Chaoyang arranged the two gentlemen and Song Yong in the empty yard next to Uncle Lei.
But there is no room for dozens of guards. They could still live in the valley before, but now it is full of things.
If there were only a few people, we could squeeze in a few people, but it was really difficult to arrange for these 40 or 50 people.
Ye Mingxuan and Song Yong discussed, "Uncle Song, if we can't live in the valley, do you think it's okay to let these brothers live in a nearby horse farm?"
Song Yong said very cheerfully: "Mingxuan, this is your arrangement. We are not outsiders, so how can we care about this?"
"Okay, after dinner, Chaoyang and I will send the brothers over to rest."
This small courtyard was still built when Shi Shi and others came up.
Li Yunze and Ye Yutong were preparing to entertain guests, so no one had been arranged to move in.
Ye Fengling, Daming's daughter, was cleaning with Qiao'er and several maids.
Several people wiped and swept, and in a short time the small courtyard was tidy, and the bedding on the bed was neatly folded.
Zhang Daqian and several boys had already carried the two gentlemen's luggage over.
Mr. Bai and Mr. Sun were sitting in the main room, looking at these small children.
Everyone's hands and feet are very agile and they have a good understanding of each other.
No one spoke while they were working. The older girl pointed her hand and the younger children knew what to do.
Those boys worked even better and were very strong.
The boxes they put the books in are so heavy that a teenage boy can carry one in each hand. It seems that these children have skills.
Song Yong stood at the door of the small courtyard, looking at everything in the valley, and felt that Ping An and Tongtong were really good at finding places.
Who would have thought that there is such a paradise in the depths of the dangerous Lingnan Mountains where there are many wild animals?
At this time, a tiger roar suddenly sounded at the entrance of the valley. Song Yong immediately drew his sword and walked towards the super large door.
But he was a step late. When he reached the door, Zhang Erqian and Xiao Xiaodan had already struggled to open the door.
Two tigers rushed in, and a large wild boar and a wild goat were killed at the door.
As soon as he raised the sword in his hand, Little Dog Dan immediately hugged his leg, "Uncle, Brother Tiger is the car of Sister Tongtong and my master, you can't kill him."
Song Yi, who was usually taciturn, was shocked. He asked Xiaodandan in disbelief, "What did you say? Are these two tigers Tongtong's cars?"
Little Dog Dan glanced at him proudly, "Yes."
He ran up to the tiger, hugged Brother Tiger's neck and prepared to make out with him.
But who knew that Brother Tiger didn't give him any face, pushed him to the side, and rolled his eyes at him unhappily.
I thought to myself that this guy really has no eyesight. Didn’t he see his wife next to him? Even cuddling with it.
Little Dog Dan got up from the ground and jumped over again with a smile on his face.
The tiger was annoyed by him, and used his paws to pull the puppy aside, and roared at him again in warning.
Zhang Erqian glared at Xiaodan Dan, "Stop provoking Brother Tiger. Bring the wild boar in quickly and invite the wolf later."
Little Dog Dan said with a smile: "It's better if the wolf comes. Let's let it go and never come back. Although wolf meat is not delicious, it is better than nothing. The wolf skin makes a fur coat and is warm. It's better to have more wolves." Okay."
Song Yong watched the two boys groaning and pulling the wild boar, which weighed at least three to four hundred kilograms, into the valley. Suddenly he laughed.
This place is so magical. Even tigers come to serve as their vehicles. What else is impossible?
He said to the two children: "You two go and bring in the sheep, and leave this wild boar to me."
Zhang Erqian immediately said: "Uncle Song, you can just put it inside the door. Our senior brother will pull him in later. He is very strong, so this weight is nothing to him."
Little Dog Dan pulled the sheep in by himself.
The two men groaned again and closed the big wooden door before shouting: "Elder brother, come here and lift the wild boar."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mantang used Qinggong to come over. He looked at the big wild boar on the ground and asked with a smile: "Brother Tiger is back?"
Little Dog Dan tilted his lips towards Ye Yutong's courtyard, "I'm back, and I brought his wife here, and I didn't even let him touch her. How stingy."
Mantang ignored him and said to Song Yong: "Uncle, the yard has been tidied up. You can go in and have a rest."
"I am not tired."
Song Yong pulled the wild boar and asked the whole room, "Where should I put this wild boar?"
"Uncle, give it to me."
After checking the whole hall, the wooden doors seemed to be closed.
Then he easily picked up the pig and walked to the martial arts training ground.
The guards who were watching the fish around the pool wanted to come over to help. Song Yong looked at Mantang's back and waved his hand to his men.
He thought to himself, he really didn't expect that there were so many capable people and strangers hidden in this valley.
Ye Dafeng and Shitou came back in the evening, and they even invited Xie Dong over.
Tonight we will eat pickled fish in the valley, which is Xie Dong’s favorite.
Li Chaoyang opened the door for them, and told them at the door that Song Jingyan was coming, "There were two gentlemen who arrived with Sister Jingyan, who were invited by my brother and my sister-in-law, and were placed in the empty courtyard. "
Ye Dafeng nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The few of them went directly to the martial arts training hall, and dinner was almost ready.
Because there were so many people, Ye Mingxuan and Li Chaoyang placed the dining table in the martial arts training ground and lit a circle of torches around it.
Now the whole valley is brightly lit.
Mr. Bai and two other gentlemen from Mingyang Academy were sitting at the table talking and laughing. After going around in circles, I didn't expect them to meet here.
Mr. Sun came back from washing his hands by the creek and saw several people coming in. Under the light of the torch, the man in the middle looked very familiar.
He looked at it carefully for a while, staying in place in surprise.
Wasn't this man beheaded? How would it appear here?
