Not long after the boy in straw sandals left the house, the girl in green stamped her feet and was about to follow. She was stopped by the middle-aged man who had changed from Master Ruan to Master Ruan and said seriously: "Xiuxiu! If you get involved now, It will only be a waste of help and harm Chen Ping'an, and then he will truly be doomed."
Ruan Xiu did not turn around, but turned her head suddenly, and her shiny black ponytail was thrown into a beautiful arc in the air. His eyes were sharp and his tone was almost harsh: "Dad, you didn't get involved in Liu Xianyang's matter, so what happened?"
The man hesitated to speak, but in the end he still restrained himself from revealing the secret, and said in a deep voice Said: "I believe dad, the biggest help you can give that boy now is to try your best to tell him some of the secrets and rules of this small cave, and ask him to try to act within the framework. The time, place and people are favorable. If you can occupy more of the same thing, Same."
Ruan Xiu seemed to understand but hesitated. The man waved his hand and patiently warned: "A single move can affect the whole body. You are my daughter, Ruan Qiong, the boy from Mud Bottle Lane. No matter how big the stone he throws into the pond, the splash will be limited." The old bastard under the water is disturbed, which means that everything can be dealt with, but you, Ruan Xiu, are different. Remember, whenever there is a calm moment in a big event, you will never listen to me if you are asked to study more! It’s not as good as you, but you are still a cultivator.”
As a matter of fact, the man regretted the last words. There is no way, when it comes to his daughter, a man can't control the last words that are sure to cause trouble. Fortunately, this time the girl didn't feel aggrieved and ran out of the house quickly, leaving behind a man with a complicated mood.
The man whose real name was Ruan Qiong picked a stool and sat down, holding the tall boy's wrist. His pulse was a mess, and it was extremely bad. The man who was already in a bad mood became even more gloomy and complained loudly: "It's true that Qi Jingchun is acting opportunistically like this in Zhengyang Mountain. Even if we can't expel him in accordance with the rules, we can at least teach him a lesson and scare the monkeys." Even if you can't kill him, what's the problem with a few hits? Otherwise, there will be an influx of new people in this world, and there will be more chaos? Why, you are thinking that he will leave office in a few days, and at worst, I will be left alone. A messy mess? Where is the promised scholar's responsibility..."
The lame old man sat aside and watched his nose and heart, never interrupting to avoid getting into trouble. The old man only dared to keep complaining in his heart. Did you agree to stay calm during major events?
After Ruan Qiong finished complaining, he finally sighed: "Qi Jingchun is so constrained, there is nothing you can do about it. You can ignore what I said in front of you, but don't ignore this sentence."
The old shopkeeper of Yang's shop had actually been eavesdropping with his ears pricked up. After hearing the words, he immediately admired him, thinking that he was worthy of being the next saint to sit in the cave. He could block a flying sword with his face.
Ruan Qiong suddenly looked at the old man and asked: "I only heard that a married girl throws water away. This damn girl hasn't married yet, and her elbows are already bent outwards? ”
The old man is really holding back.For a long time, I couldn't help but want to say a few words of conscience, otherwise I would be sorry for my unyielding character, so I plucked up the courage to say: "Master Ruan, is it because he is old and dim? I always feel that that young man doesn't have much. I like your Xiu Xiu."
Ruan Qiongzhan looked at the old man with pity and said decisively: "There is no doubt that you are just blind!"
The old man! He also looked at the man with a pitiful look.
The two were speechless.
Over the well, Ruan Xiu caught up with Chen Ping'an and didn't speak, as if he didn't know how to speak.
Chen Pingan smiled at her, remembering the first time he met her at Qing Niubei, he thought she was mute or couldn't speak the dialect of the town. Now I realize that she just doesn't like to talk.
She followed the footsteps of the straw-shoe boy and walked towards the covered bridge. The girl in green finally plucked up the courage and said: "Chen Ping'an, my name is Ruan Xiu, my father's name is Ruan Qiong, he is a swordsmith. I have been forging swords with my father since I was a child. This time I came to your town. My father said that it was due to the entrustment of the sect and the water and soil here are most suitable for making sword furnaces, so I came here to wade in the muddy water. In fact, I know in my heart, My father wants to find an opportunity for me. My father is very concerned about face, just like your friend Liu Xianyang. My father actually wants to accept this apprentice. You may not know it. If my father chooses to open a business here in the future, The choice of the first disciple of the Zongli Sect is very important, so he is not willing to save anyone, so don’t blame him..."
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "I don’t blame your father."< /p>
At this point, the straw-shoe boy paused, raised the back of his hand to wipe his chin, and said bitterly: "I know I shouldn't blame others, but in fact I am very angry. I am very angry why your father didn't accept Liu Xianyang earlier." As a disciple, why did no one stop Liu Xianyang when something happened? Even though I knew it was wrong, I was still very angry."
Ruan Xiu nodded, "This is human nature."
Chen Ping'an didn't want to spend too much time here and asked: "Miss Ruan, do you have anything to do with me?"
Ruan Xiu asked cautiously: "You are not looking for Zhengyang Mountain now. "Revenge?"
Chen Pingan said nothing, neither denying nor admitting.
The girl was not a person who was good at words, so she just said whatever came to her mind: "Don't be so reckless. Zhengyang Mountain is originally a famous sect in our East Aquarius Continent, and that old ape's His identity is actually the same as that of the ancestor of Zhengyang Mountain. Even if the old ape cannot use magical powers here, it is very easy to deal with you! And after he seriously injured Liu Xianyang, Mr. Qi will definitely punish him, so at least you Don't worry about this matter, it will be treated as if nothing happened..."
Chen Pingan interrupted the girl and said: "Miss Ruan, what you call punishment means that the murderer will be kicked out of the school. Town?"
Ruan Xiu was speechless.
Chen Pingan smiled and comforted the girl in turn, his eyes were sincere and as clear as a stream, "Miss Ruan, yourGood intention, I appreciate it. Of course I won't rush forward stupidly and directly fight against that kind of god. ”
Ruan Xiu felt relieved and patted her chest habitually. Perhaps she felt that her behavior was a bit childish and not elegant enough, unlike a lady, so the girl with the ponytail smiled a little embarrassed.
Chen Pingan also laughed and said, "I only gave you three fish last time because I was too stingy. "
Ruan Xiu was a little shy and quickly asked worriedly: "Your left hand? ”
Chen Ping’an raised his tightly bandaged left hand, “It doesn’t matter, it’s no longer in the way.”
Ruan Xiu organized her thoughts and said slowly: "Chen Ping'an, don't be impulsive. Mr. Qi's situation in the school is more difficult now, and when Mr. Qi and my father handed over, there was a very serious situation." Maybe the town will usher in an earth-shaking new situation, whether it is good or bad, it is hard to say yet, so it is easy to remain calm but not easy to move. "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Okay. ”
Ruan Xiu was inexplicably anxious.
In the final analysis, she was very anxious. According to her temperament, she should have killed the old ape of Zhengyang Mountain at this moment. , but now she has to persuade the young man not to take risks, which is against her true intention. But the problem is, as she said, the trend of the times is indeed easy to remain calm, and this is also her intuition.
< p>Ruan Xiu recklessly went to find someone to ask for an explanation. Even if she caused trouble for Po Tian, her father would definitely not ignore it and would probably suppress it.But this Chen Pingan in front of her, They can only live and die.
Chen Pingan and Ruan Xiudao left and ran to the covered bridge alone.
Seeing the girl again.
On the stone steps at the south end, there is a girl with stacked swords, with a solemn face.
She is wearing a dark green robe, with long and narrow eyebrows, and pursed lips. There are two gorgeously woven gold swords beside her. Silk embroidered bag.
Chen Pingan ran quickly to the covered bridge. As soon as he reached the bottom of the steps, the girl Ning Yao threw down the two bags of copper coins and said calmly: "Give it back to you. "
Chen Ping'an stood at the foot of the steps, catching two bags of money with both hands. He didn't know what to say for a while.
Ning Yao said with a straight face: "We have promised to promise Liu Xianyang's safety, I failed to do it now. I, Ning Yao, am sorry for you, Chen Ping'an and Liu Xianyang! ”
The girl knows very well that in this small town, if a boy with an ordinary body is punched in the chest by an immortal figure, no one can save him. Furthermore, if Liu Xianyang can be saved , even if there is only a glimmer of hope, with Chen Pingan's bad-hearted character, he will probably be beheaded if he stays in the blacksmith shop, but he will never leave without permission.
Chen Pingan walked up the steps. He squatted not far from her, handed the two bags of money back to the girl, and said softly: "Miss Ning, keep the money, plus the bag hidden in my house in Mud Bottle Lane, you can take them all, I have already No need. In the future, I hope that if possible, I can help pay for someone to take care of Liu Xianyang and I's house. ”
The girl did not take the money bag, but laughed angrily, "Then do you want to help you put up Spring Festival couplets and door gods every Spring Festival?"
Chen Pingan said with a serious face: "If possible, that would be the best."
The girl was almost so angry that she yelled: "I was slapped in the face by a cow's tail when I was a child. Isn't that amazing?! You can do stupid things justifiably? It pissed me off! In short, this matter, Chen Pingan Don't worry about it. Do you think that your three-legged cat skills can deal with a mountain-moving ape from Zhengyang Mountain? From now on, you can take care of Liu Xianyang's ruined house by yourself. I, Ning Yao, will go and buy the couplets for your doorkeeper! !"
Chen Pingan looked at the girl and said: "Miss Ning, although I have not known you for a long time, I can be sure of one thing. If you are confident to help Liu Xianyang avenge, you will never give up the two bags. Return the money to me, at least not at this time."
Chen Ping'an put the money on the steps between the two of them, "Miss Ning, what time is it now, do you think I am still in the mood? Are you talking politely? You, me, and Liu Xianyang are just doing a business deal, and you are not sincerely trying to trick us. It’s just that no one would have thought of such a natural disaster. How can you lose your life? Believe me, it's not just me, Chen Ping'an, who doesn't want to see this, but that idiot Liu Xianyang doesn't want to see it either. If he could speak, he would only talk about men's affairs, and women, leave them alone..."
The young man suddenly became embarrassed. Ning Yao grinned and said: "Of course I dare not tell Miss Ning like this."
Ning Yao put his hands on the white sheath sword and squinted: "I only said half of what I said before. I feel guilty. Half, and since I ran away from home, I, Ning Yao, have never walked around the world without encountering a hurdle!"
The girl stretched out her thumb and pointed at her heart, "Here. Yes!"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "Miss Ning, can you let me find three people before you do anything?"
Ning Yao! Asked: "How long will it take?"
Chen Pingan said without hesitation: "At most half a day!"
Ning Yao asked again: "Besides Qi Jingchun, who are the other two? ?”
Chen Ping’an shook his head and said, “Miss Ning, don’t ask.”
Ning Yao frowned and said, “The Kiln Supervision Office has nothing to do with this, you. Do you really think it's just a matter of stealing and fighting on the street?"
Just as Chen Pingan was about to stand up, Ning Yao said in a deep voice, "Take the money!"
Chen Pingan had to put it away first.
"Chen Pingan! Wait a minute, turn around first."
After asking Chen Pingan to turn around, Ning Yao suddenly bent down, lifted up his robe, and took off a handful of ties. He stood up and handed the simple short knife tied to his calf to the young man. He said in a very solemn tone: This is a unique skirt-pressing knife in our hometown. Every woman has one. I don't care about local customs. But don’t forget, this knife is lent to you, not given to you! ”
Chen Pingan was a little confused, but stretched out a hand to pick up the shortcoming.knife.
The girl said angrily: "Use both hands! Can you learn some etiquette?!"
The boy quickly raised his other hand, but he was still confused.
Ning Yao said angrily: "Do you think you can kill that mountain-moving ape with just a few pieces of broken porcelain? Cai Jinjian is just a character who has not gone far on the path of cultivation, let alone Zhengyang Mountain That old beast was born with abnormality, most importantly, it had rough skin and thick flesh. Not to mention the porcelain pieces, even ordinary immortal weapons could not hurt the old beast at all. What's the point of getting a few scars after being stretched to death? It’s useless!”
The young man who took the knife in both hands and didn’t know how to place it looked a little strange at this moment.
Ning Yao glared and said: "I'm going to kill someone with a knife, why don't I say a few swear words?!"
Chen Pingan was speechless. For some reason, the young man sat back Position, sitting on the steps, looking up at the southern sky.
The girl stood beside the boy.
Chen Pingan persuaded her for the last time: "It will really kill people."
The girl crossed her arms over her chest, with a sword on one side and a knife hanging on the other, with an indifferent expression on her face, "I see There are more dead people than you have ever seen alive."
Then she deliberately said in a casual tone: "You can tie that skirt-pressing knife to your arm and hide it. "In the sleeve."
Chen Pingan nodded: "Okay."
Chen Pingan patted his knees hard, stood up, and suddenly said: "I know you, I am very proud." ."
The girl suddenly turned around and walked on the covered bridge first.
A heroic and charming girl, a long sword with a snow-white scabbard, and a narrow knife with a light green scabbard.
Her figure at this time.
This is the most beautiful picture the young man has ever seen in his life, bar none.
At this moment, the young man felt that even if he could get out of the small town, he would not see a more exciting scene than this.
No loss in this life.
So the young man who originally became a little afraid of death because of Lu Daochang's words is no longer afraid of death as before.
Death is death.
