Decoction is a delicate job, like a thread threading through the eye of a needle. Chen Pingan did it meticulously and deeply, and the young man exuded an inexplicable joy.
However, the girl in black is not a patient person. In fact, apart from practicing swordsmanship, the girl is not very interested in anything. She left her hometown at a young age and traveled alone, which was very rough. She was alive, so she didn't feel any discomfort with the young boy's house with only four walls. In fact, she had lived in the open air for too many times, and the wind and rain made her, no matter how refined and fastidious she was, become very careless.
The girl asked: "Is your left hand okay?"
Chen Pingan, whose left hand was wrapped with a cotton strip, was holding a bowl of medicine with both hands. After the girl took it, he smiled Said: "It's okay. Before I went back to the alley, I found some herbs, pounded them, and applied them to the wounds. I used this for cuts and bruises when I was a kiln worker. It has always been tried and tested. It was a product of the Yang family a long time ago. An old man in the shop told me the secret recipe, but I promised the old man not to tell anyone else. Otherwise, Miss Ning, you might need it if you travel all over the country. If you want it, I can go to the old man in Yang's shop and ask him for help. . But I was in a hurry to go to the medicine shop today, and I didn’t see the old man. I just hope that he left temporarily.”
When the girl drank the medicine, her long eyes were not like willow leaves or narrow knives. He frowned slightly, but still drank the medicinal soup without changing his expression. After returning the porcelain bowl to the straw-shoe boy who was waiting aside, he muttered: "A good guy, no wonder he is so poor. He deserves to be bullied."
Before the boy could react, the girl added, "Don't mind, I'm a straightforward person."
The girl probably didn't know that this next sentence was even more hurtful. .
Chen Pingan was about to speak but stopped.
The girl in black wiped off the residue of the medicinal soup from the corner of her mouth with her thumb, then sat upright and said seriously: "The saint who is sitting in this world now is the Mr. Xu you mentioned. Although I intend to help you finish the work so that your life will be worry-free in the future, but you have to know that manpower will eventually be exhausted, even if it is a saint, not to mention that Mr. Qi's situation is not good, and he is a bit like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. I mean, I'm just afraid that he won't be able to control your life or death in the future. I, Ning Yao, will repay every drop of kindness in the world. If you glare at me, you will definitely repay me with hatred!"
I have the manpower! At the end of the day, the spring will retaliate, the wrath will be repaid, and the Clay Bodhisattva will cross the river...
At this time, the girl's heart is full of unknown pride. Listen, are my words very knowledgeable?
It’s a pity that next door to Chen Ping’an lived a scholar with a lot of knowledge. Almost twice every day in the morning and dusk, the neighbor would read the books of sages to clarify his aspirations. According to Song Jixin himself, “ I am good at cultivating awe-inspiring energy." Therefore, Chen Ping'an has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running away. He is no stranger to the literary sayings of scholars. Even if there are some obscure words, he can guess the truth through analyzing the context.
The girl stared at Chen Ping'an, trying to look at the young man's faceShock, admiration and confusion were found, but Chen Ping'an just had an expression on his face that said, "I understand, go on, girl."
The girl was very discouraged. Her original high-spirited spirit was sharply reduced, and she said angrily: "For example, if you save my life, I will help you kill Fu Nanhua from Old Dragon City afterwards. Or Liu Zhimao from Shujian Lake, but if you want to kill both of them and avoid future troubles, you have to spend money to eliminate the disaster. Because we met by chance, we don’t have such a deep love, so you need to use a bag of gold Fine copper coins as a reward."
The girl quickly pointed at the bag of Spring Festival coins and said, "I like this bag very much. The other two bags of copper coins are of different styles. It looks good, but the writing is not pleasing to the eye."
Then the girl raised her chin slightly and said, "If you are willing to pay me two bags of copper coins in addition to completing this transaction, I will help you settle the matter. Old Dragon City and Yunxia Mountain. Of course, if I die early in the hands of Liu Zhimao, nothing will matter. After all, my current level of cultivation is not high, and I have just reached the sixth level of martial arts. As a pure martial artist, my physical toughness is It’s not a big deal yet. As for the fifteenth-story building and the fifteenth-level realm of mountain climbing, it has only reached the Dragon Gate realm in the middle five realms. In the alchemy room, I have six patterns, but I have not yet succeeded in adding the finishing touch, nor have I made the goddess fly. ..."
Now Chen Pingan was really confused and confused.
The girl suddenly became angry with embarrassment. She had always been ashamed of her low level. Chen Ping'an's demented look of "girl, please explain to me again" undoubtedly hit the girl's saddest point. .
Seeing the girl's gloomy face, Chen Ping'an, even a fool, knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly changed the subject, "Girl, why were you injured so badly before, but now you seem to be mostly healed?"
The girl lowered her eyebrows a little, crossed her arms across her chest, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was really about to die at that time. If Director Lu hadn't saved me, I would have... Anyway, I owe you a huge favor, and I don't even want to It's time to take advantage of the situation and ask you to take out three bags of gold and copper coins. My life, Ning Yao, is not comparable to that of Liu Zhimao and others. So it's my fault. Just treat me as if I didn't say anything. Wait until I leave the town. , I will try my best to help you solve those worries, but I have to say something ugly ahead of time. I, Ning Yao, will only do what I can, and will not risk my life with others even though I know I will die..."
Probably because it was so rare for a girl to bow her head and admit her mistake, she felt extremely disappointed.
Chen Pingan asked: "Which bag is the donation money from?"
The girl pointed to one of the golden embroidered bags.
Chen Pingan took out three copper coins from it, held it in his hand, pushed the three bags in front of the girl with his arm, and said with a smile: "These are for you."
The girl was stunned, and after a long time to recover, she asked: "Chen Pingan, your brain was caught by a door panel when you were a child?"
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "No, when you were helping people herd cattle when you were a child, Often swung by the cow’s tail.”
The girl suddenly became furious, slammed the table, and asked: "Do you like me?!"
Chen Pingan was dumbfounded.
The girl grinned, stretched out her thumb towards Chen Pingan and said, "Good taste!"
Then she bent her thumb, pointed at herself, and said brightly: "But I don't I will agree, the man I Ning Yao likes must

If it is the most powerful swordsman in the world, the most powerful sword in the world! Immortal! Even Taoists, Buddhas, and Confucian sages have to bow their heads and give way before he strikes!"
Chen Pingan blushed, scratched his head and said, "Miss Ning, you have misunderstood! , I don’t like you..."
The girl raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment. She leaned forward, squinted her eyes, raised her hand, leaving an inch between her thumb and index finger, and asked guiltily Said: "You don't like it even a little bit?"
Chen Pingan said resolutely, "No! Miss Ning, don't worry!"
The girl took back her hand and sighed heavily. , said pitifully: "Chen Pingan, even if you are lucky enough to marry a wife in the future, she will probably be a heartless person."
Chen Pingan sat across the table and said with a happy smile: "As long as she is nice. ”
The girl was noncommittal about this.
If you just eat and wait for death, you will be rich and prosperous, just like her mother said, because everyone has his own fate, and there may not be a distinction between superior and inferior.
It’s just that her father also has different opinions on this. In life, you should never force anything. Not forcing doesn’t mean you don’t ask for anything. You still have to ask for it. If you still don’t get it in the end, It's another matter.
Of course, her father would never dare to say these words to her mother face to face.
Chen Pingan asked casually: "Miss Ning also came to our town to seek opportunities?"
The girl didn't have anything to hide, and replied: "I spent all my money." The family fortune accumulated by Qi Yu and a favor were the only way to get this quota to enter the town. But I am different from those people. I don't ask for any luck. I just want someone to help me forge a sword. It's best. Whether it suits my wishes or not, whether it is sharp or not, and whether it can carry a huge amount of sword energy, is a secondary matter."
Chen Ping'an asked doubtfully: "Forging a sword?"
Girl. Said: "That's Master Ruan, the blacksmith. He has a great reputation here. He also has a rule that 'iron cannot be struck'. He only forges one sword every thirty years. The reason why he is willing to come here to replace Qi Jingchun is because he feels that This place is suitable for making swords. I will try my luck to see if he is willing to make swords for me. If it doesn't work, I will just pretend that I am unlucky."
Chen Pingan said with a smile. : "Good people are rewarded."
The girl said feebly: "No way."
She glanced at the boy, "Doesn't your left hand hurt?"
Chen Ping'an was stunned, "It hurts."
She doubted: "Then what do you think?It doesn't look like it. ”
Chen Pingan said matter-of-factly: “Even if I roll on the floor and yell, the pain will not go away.” ”
The girl slapped her forehead and said, “It’s really hopeless.” You have the same virtue as my father, but your ability is far inferior to him. "
Chen Pingan smiled and stopped talking, looking quietly at the yard outside the house.
The girl pushed the three bags of copper coins back, "I don't want them. "
Chen Pingan withdrew his gaze and said softly: "Miss Ning, have you ever thought that it may not be a good thing if I keep them. After meeting Mr. Qi, I am even more sure of this. "
After a girl decides on something, she will never change it. She shook her head and said, "That's your business and has nothing to do with me. I have thought about it, and I will definitely repay the favor in the future, and I will never cut corners, and I must be worthy of the name "Ning Yao"! But you must take good care of yourself during these years, and don't die accidentally. As long as you get through this period..."
The young man who has always been very talkative interrupted the girl for the first time, "It was Director Lu and Miss Ning who saved you, so you don't have to feel that you owe anything, If I hadn't felt that I was dead and wanted to ask Director Lu to do more for my parents, otherwise I wouldn't have opened the door at all. "
The girl snorted coldly: "That's your business! "
The boy smiled and repeated her words: "That's your business. "
Big eyes stared at small eyes.
The girl was the first to be defeated. She had a headache and said: "If you like me, I really can't promise you. ”
Chen Ping’an held his head with both hands.
He had no idea what to do with such a weird girl on the couch.
At this time, someone came from the hospital He climbed up the wall into the courtyard. The person who would do this must be Liu Xianyang. He trotted behind the threshold and was about to scream when someone suddenly choked him and he couldn't say a word.
Chen Pingan quickly stood up, came to Liu Xianyang and whispered: "Can I stay with you for the next two days? This girl may want to live with me. "
Liu Xianyang pushed Chen Pingan's head away, rubbing his hands like a fly rubbing its claws, and said attentively: "Girl, my house is big and everything is complete. If girl doesn't mind, come and live in my house. How about that? ? "
The girl in black, who turned her back to the two of them, said calmly: "Disgusted.
Liu Xianyang bared his teeth, looked at the slender figure with a sword on his back, and said without giving up: "Girl, you don't know, there were two groups of people blocking my way on the covered bridge before, crying." They shouted and begged me to sell my ancestral treasures to them, but I didn't agree. Unfortunately, those people almost made me scolded to death by Master Ruan. I see, girl, you are also a foreigner who came to the small town to try your luck. Although I, Liu Xianyang, may not sell it to you, it will definitely be fine if you let the girl have a look and open her eyes! "
Ning Yao still said indifferently: "No need. ”
Liu Xianyang was sitting in Chen Ping’an’s original position when he saw BlackAfter seeing the appearance of the girl in clothes, her eyes were shining and she said: "Girl, don't be so outgoing. Chen Ping'an and I will just squeeze in this shabby house. Girl, you won't feel restrained after you go to my big house. It seems that you can't even feel at ease." There is no place to put my hands and feet."
Ning Yao replied with a straight face: "Thank you, please go and cool down!"
Liu Xianyang did not feel embarrassed and stood up and said: " Come on, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own straw nest."
Liu Xianyang pulled Chen Ping'an outside the threshold and nudged the boy with his elbow, "What's going on?"
Chen Ping'an said: "I won't be able to tell for a while. Just ask me if I can live with you?"
Liu Xianyang rolled his eyes and said: "Is there anything that can't be done? But You have to promise me to help me keep an eye on Zhigui, and don’t let Song Jixin do it
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The little beast will destroy it by force, when the time comes You have to help me keep my future wife’s innocence!”
Chen Pingan said without hesitation: “Don’t think about it!”
Liu Xianyang patted Chen Pingan on the shoulder and said seriously! : "I'll take it as you agreed."
The girl in black in the room suddenly turned her head and said: "Do you know that you are a natural swordsman? The reason why you bought the porcelain man when you were nine years old, I didn't take you out because I wanted you to absorb more spiritual energy here. This is the right choice. So when you are with Master Ruan, you must seize the opportunity and let him accept you as his disciple. Remember, at least. It is a disciple who has entered the family, preferably a direct disciple. As for the closed disciple, don't expect too much, your basic talent is not as good as that exaggeration."
Liu Xianyang smiled and nodded vigorously. After saying okay, okay, he looked back at Chen Ping'an, pointed at the girl in the room, and then pointed at his head.
Chen Pingan said: "She is telling the truth, don't take it seriously."
Liu Xianyang stopped smiling, fell silent, and whispered: "I think something is not right. , two groups of people from the covered bridge, who do you think is leading the way? It’s Lu Zhengchun from Fulu Street! Isn’t this a weasel paying New Year’s greetings to a chicken? I don’t care about money, so why should I do business with them? That armor is an old thing that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. I want to sell it. If I dream about my grandfather in the future, I will have to scold him half to death!"
Chen Pingan heard all this! Later, as if facing a formidable enemy, he said, "Be careful, don't mess with Lu Zhengchun and those foreigners!"
The young man turned around and asked, "Miss Ning, do you know the origins of those people?"
p>
The girl in black nodded and said: "The old man and the girl are from Zhengyang Mountain. They are considered to be from a well-known and decent family in your East Aquarius Continent. The old man is inhuman... In short, he is more powerful than Fu Nanhua or Cai Jinjian. A hundred times. The woman and her son are not simple. In fact, they are not ordinary rich people who can enter the town together. The woman is very rich, and the little boy does not seem to be a kind-hearted person. I advise your friend to quickly ask Master Ruan to recognize him as a disciple. It will be like having a life-saving talisman with you.In this small town, no matter how high the background is, no one dares to compete with a saint. ”
Chen Pingan asked Liu Xianyang again, “Are you sure you can be Master Ruan’s apprentice?” ”
Liu Xianyang was a little confused and hesitantly said: “This is not the first day I went to work as an apprentice helper. The way Master Ruan looked at me was similar to that of Old Man Yao. He probably wanted to observe me for a while.” Make a decision whether to take on a disciple. It's just..."
Chen Pingan glared fiercely.
Liu Xianyang said with a smile: "It's just that Master Ruan has a precious daughter who is very good at eating. I was shocked, so I gave it a little I joked for a while, but I didn’t expect that the girl would swing a hammer when she was forging iron. She was so fierce and domineering, but she was usually very shy. How could I have imagined that she couldn’t take a joke, so I made her cry at that time. Now, he happened to be bumped into by his father. The way he looked at me was wrong. If he recognized his apprentice, he would definitely be gone. But anyway, I didn’t want to be someone’s apprentice. I served old man Yao, a weird guy. The temper is enough for us. I just want to make a living in the blacksmith shop..."
Chen Pingan raised his head with a dark face.
Liu Xianyang, who was half a head taller than the straw-shoe boy, lowered his head and did not dare to look at the boy.
This scene made Ning Yao feel a little confused.
This. It was also the first time that the girl saw Chen Pingan really angry.
Chen Pingan asked in a low voice: "When you passed the old locust tree, did you find some extra locust leaves on your body for no reason? "
Liu Xianyang shook his head and said: "No, it was the fortune teller who always liked to peek at women and said some unfavorable words to me. I almost smashed his stall.
Chen Ping'an's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed, he turned to look inside the room and asked: "Miss Ning, in exchange, can I give you three bags of gold and copper coins?" Also, please be sure to make it clear in advance whether it will cause you any big trouble. "
The girl in black thought carefully, "It's a big trouble, but it's not a big problem. But you must be careful these two days and keep your friends from running around in the streets. After all, my current situation is not good. "
She added: "Two groups of people, two bags of money. Let Master Ruan accept his apprenticeship and get another bag of money. In short, if you complete a few things, I will receive a few bags of money. Don’t worry, since I agreed, I will be guaranteed a harvest of two bags. "
Chen Pingan ran into the house and quickly pushed the two bags of money, including the Spring Festival money, to the girl, "Take it." "
The girl was not a sloppy person, so she did not refuse. After putting away the two bags of copper coins, she smiled and said: "There are many people in the world who put money in their pockets, and there are Are you someone who likes to be a money-splitting boy? "
The young man did not refute this time, nodded and smiled: "Money is very important, very important, very important.
Liu Xianyang, who had been kept in the dark, said angrily: "Chen Pingan, are you crazy? Why did you give her the money?" Two whole bagsHow long will it take you to spend copper coins? "
Chen Ping'an said angrily: "Are you in charge of my money? "
Liu Xianyang said confidently: "Isn't your money my money? Think about it, if I borrow money from you, would you have the nerve to demand repayment from me? ”
Chen Ping’an didn’t speak and fell into deep thought.
Liu Xianyang also realized that his gag was inappropriate and shut up.
For a moment, everyone in the room The atmosphere was a little heavy.
Chen Pingan asked: "Miss Ning, you really won't do this..."
The girl in black glanced at the white sheath sword on the table. He nodded and said: "No problem! ”
Afterwards, she couldn’t help it anymore and said, “Mother-in-law, are you bothered?” You also said that you are not a bad person? "
Chen Pingan smiled.
Liu Xianyang thought for a while and said nothing.
The tall boy finally hid his words in his stomach, thinking about you, girl. Probably because he has never seen another side of this guy.
Chen Pingan is rarely hard to talk to, but once he is hard to talk to, Chen Pingan is really hard to talk to.
He, Liu Xianyang, should have seen him
