In the evening, the city gate was about to close, and a man in black robe walked into the city

Ye Dangting appeared next to the pastry shop again. Mother Lin, who was taking care of business in the shop, came out to greet her with a face full of joy, "Man Liu is also playing stick seriously today. Miss Ye, please wait a moment while I call Man Liu to come out."

.

"No...Aunt Lin, can you lend me the woodshed to rest? My residence is too far from the city, so I have to come here to make trouble." A faint voice came from under the curtain. Mother Lin saw

Something didn't look right. He hurriedly helped the black-robed woman into the house and hurried to the yard. The boy in a short shirt who was still playing with a stick in the yard felt something was wrong when he saw Ye Dangting being helped into the hospital by his mother. He immediately followed her and headed straight to the center of the yard.

We went to the house, which was the largest room, where Lin's mother used to make cakes and where Lin Manliu rested.

He helped the woman in black robe to lean on the edge of the bed, and after taking off her hat, she saw that her cold face had turned a little dark, and her crooked eyebrows had turned into a depressed look. Her eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and her hair was hanging on her temples.

It was also stuck to his cheeks due to sweating. The young man in a short shirt looked at Ye Dangting and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Miss Ye..."

"I'm fine, help me get a knife, a basin, and some water..." The young man in a short shirt didn't wait for the young man in the black robe to ask, but he spoke up and asked her to help get some utensils.

After the boy in the short shirt came back with the knife and the wooden basin, he saw the woman in black robe cut her palm open and blood flowed down into the basin. When the scars on her palm were about to scab, Ye Dang listened and put his hand into the water to wash away the blood.

He continued to bleed out, and at the same time, he signaled Lin Manliu to change the basin of water. From time to time, he took out a black pill from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth. This process was repeated until night.

At night, the bloodletting process came to an end. The woman in black robe was lying on the bed, her face finally no longer as gloomy as before, and the bloodshot eyes were much less, but she still looked lackluster. The boy in a short shirt was helping Ye Dang listen at the edge of the bed.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Miss Ye must have gone up the mountain to visit the stars today. Why can't I go with her to protect her... The young man who was still thinking about things suddenly heard that the black robe

A woman's subtle voice.

"Man Liu, originally, after today's work is finished and everything has been resolved, those Taoist priests will definitely not harass you and your family again... But my own problems were caused by the vicious tricks of the gangsters.

..Don’t worry..."

"Miss Ye, my parents and I both know everything is fine. You should get some rest first."

"Well...then I'll rest first and wait until I feel refreshed before I can talk to you and your family in detail."

The boy in a short shirt watched Ye Dangting go to sleep before opening the door and leaving the house. He glanced at the moonlight in the sky, and stars were dotted on the sky. But in this compact courtyard wall, the sky was really bright.

It's so small, it seems to be as big as the palm of your hand.

I thought I would rest in the shop tonight, so I opened the door to the front room, walked on the bench and leaned against the counter before falling asleep.

next morning

Mother Lin opened the door of the shop and woke up Lin Manliu: "We Manliu have grown up and are really sensible. When Miss Ye wakes up, wash your face and go to the backyard to find her." Mother Lin saw the boy in a short shirt who had just woken up and ran to the backyard in a hurry.

With a smile on his face, he couldn't help but start saying to himself: "Manliu has really grown up."

The boy in a short shirt opened the door without knocking and looked towards the bed. Before he could see clearly, Ye Dang yelled in a weak voice: "Is it okay to knock on the door... What if?"

What should I do if there is an unmarried young lady in the house, and what should I do if I go out after being so rude?"

"Miss Ye, this is my house...and I'm also anxious."

"I know, I know, I won't tease you anymore, your mother and I just talked about it, and those Taoist priests won't come to trouble you anymore."

"Thank you, Miss Ye..."

The air suddenly became quiet, and the woman in black robe did not make a sound. The boy in short shirt also knew these days that Ye Dang was not very satisfied with calling her Miss Ye in a very respectful manner, especially when thanking her.

Of course, this silence gave Lin Manliu time to look at the woman in black robe beside the bed. Today, she did not wear the curtain hat on her head at all times as usual, and her black hair hanging on her temples was caught by the breeze outside the window.

After blowing, her eyebrows and eyes were curved back to the way they were when I first saw her. This time I looked longer than last time and noticed that there was a mole on her cheek, at the raised corner of her mouth, which was very beautiful and beautiful.

"Oh, yes, let me tell you about my situation. Originally, I planned to go back down the mountain after finishing the matter yesterday. However, I ended up in this situation because I was not careful and was plotted against me. As you see now,

I think it’s impossible to go back in time.”

"Then how many more days will we stay? Or maybe we can stay for a few more days... Miss Ye"

"There is really no choice but to stay here, but I have important things to deal with. I still have some money. Please help me hire a carriage. I have to leave the city early..." said the woman in black robe.

He was about to try to get up, but he lost his balance and fell onto the bed. Lin Manliu hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Miss Ye, I think your current situation is a problem for you even when you go out. Can I help you with anything you want to do? You have been helping me and my family these days, and I will definitely be able to help you, Miss Ye."

"This matter involves a lot. I don't have a clue about many things myself. You can't handle it..."

"You taught me to learn swordsmanship and teach me how to behave. I am no longer a child...Miss Ye"

Ye Dangting was suddenly speechless. After holding it for a long time, he looked at the boy in a short shirt and said: "Man Liu, I look at you now and you are really very similar to me before. The difference with me is that at your age you still care.

With your family by your side, you are very happy, so you must cherish this happiness, you know...".

Lin Man Liu nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I understand Miss Ye, I will definitely cherish it, but I really want to help you."

"Man Liu, then do you want to continue learning swordsmanship from me?"

"Of course I do, I also want to be a hero like you!"

"Then worship me as your teacher."

"......ah"

"Why don't you want to? It makes me so sad. Even if my swordsmanship is not good enough, I can't make Manliu firmly believe in me as his master." The woman in black robe covered her face and pretended to cry, but the corners of her mouth were curved.

Where to laugh.

"No, I just think it's too sudden. After all, I've only learned it for a few days and I'm still using a stick..." Lin Manliu scratched his head and didn't know how to explain it.

"It doesn't matter, you would like to become my disciple, Ye Dangting," the woman in black robe said seriously.

"I, I, I, I am willing to become my teacher to Miss Ye..."

"Forget it, just bring me a bowl of water and follow me."

The boy in a short shirt hurriedly brought a glass of water from a bowl to the woman in black robe, with a joyful smile on his face and a very happy heart.

"Come and read with me"

"I would like to become a disciple of Ye Dangting. From now on, I will take the master's orders as my responsibility. Today, I will use water instead of tea to pay tribute to the master." The woman in black robe said, and the boy in short shirt immediately followed, and finally brought the water in the bowl to Ye

When he heard this, the woman in black robe immediately drank all the water in the bowl.

"From now on, you will be Ye Dangting's disciple. When you announce your family status in the future, you can follow the example of those decent people in the martial arts world and say something like, 'I am Lin Manliu, a disciple of Ye Dangting' before saying your name." Will that happen instantly?

I feel like I’m being a bit of a chivalrous person,” the woman in black robe joked immediately.

Seeing the boy in a short shirt giggling in front of him, he looked very much like his former self, and he added sternly: "After reaching the sixth year, you must remember that you studied under Ye Dangting and are Ye Dangting's only disciple."

The boy in the short shirt followed the example of the children in the private school and bowed to the woman in black robe and said, "I understand, Master Ye."

"Since we are already master and apprentice, let's call me master and sister from now on. You don't think it's awkward to talk to me about Miss Ye these days. I don't know about our character. I don't know about you? You are a little brat and you shouldn't imitate those polite people.

"Look." The woman in black robe patted Lin Manliu on the shoulder.
