Although there is no need to visit relatives, it is not a problem to stay in the deserted Luoluo Mountain during the Chinese New Year, so Chen Pingan took the two little ones out of the mountain and returned to the bustling town. It was already as lively as Huang Tingguo
In any county town, there are only iron lock wells without iron locks, old streets without old locust trees, and Mr. Qi’s school. No matter how popular it is and how full of flavor it is, Chen Ping’an still feels a little lost.
.
Approaching the alley, the boy in Tsing Yi complained: "Master, if on this trip to Mud Bottle Alley, I encounter a ferocious spirit on the way, the kind that can kill me with one punch, if I hadn't been so ruthless, I would have done it in the future.
I really won’t go back down the mountain to my old home again! Then don’t blame me for being unloyal.”
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of Mu Bottle Alley, Chen Pingan saw a familiar figure, slender and graceful, like a young willow branch in the spring breeze. She was holding a bucket in both hands, which should be the well on the Xinghua Alley just now.
Returning, it was a bit difficult, so I simply dropped the bucket, and then the girl bent over and gasped. The bucket fell heavily to the ground, splashing a lot of water, but the girl didn't care about this flaw at all.
Zhigui, or rather Wang Zhu, was the maid of Jixin in the Song Dynasty.
Just as for whose maid she became, it was him or his next-door neighbor Song Jixin. Chen Pingan did not complain about the girl, because the book said that good birds choose trees to roost in.
That windy and snowy night, the girl lay dying in the snow. She used her last strength to stretch out her hand and gently knocked on the door.
Whether he saves others or not is Chen Pingan's own business. Whether others repay their kindness is other people's business.
It's just that they met again much sooner than expected, and Chen Ping'an felt complicated.
Zhigui also saw Chen Pingan, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and looked at Chen Pingan. The straw sandals were still straw sandals, but his hair was tied with a hairpin. He seemed to be a little taller. He was no longer walking around alone.
There are two more small oil bottles beside me.
The girl said nothing.
Just as Chen Ping'an was about to say hello, he found that the boy in green gripped his arm hard and refused to let him go forward. Not only him, but also the girl in pink skirt hid behind him and held on to his sleeves tightly. The two little guys
My teeth were chattering together and I didn’t dare to breathe.
Just like a timid ordinary person who is most afraid of ghosts in his life, and then he actually saw a ghost in the daytime.
The boy in Tsing Yi felt remorseful in his heart, wishing he could give himself a big mouth and make you have a crow's mouth!
The girl in pink skirt whispered softly behind Chen Pingan: "Master, I'm scared, more scared than death."
Chen Ping'an sighed, "Then you go shopping elsewhere in the town, such as our shop in Qilong Lane. You can help take care of some business. I will find you later."
The two little guys were amnesty and ran away.
Chen Pingan walked to Mud Bottle Alley alone. Just like the scene that had been the same for so many years, the boy helped the girl pick up the bucket and walked into the alley together.
Zhigui asked: "Those two guys are your new bookboys and maids?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Do you think I am a master? They are just shouting for fun."
Zhigui said oh.
When passing by the ancestral house of the Cao family, the courtyard door was wide open. The old Cao Xi was squatting at the door and eating melon seeds. The young Cao Jun was squatting on the wall, still eating melon seeds.
Obviously, let’s watch the fun together.
Cao Xi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, is this your little lover? He made love to me so early in the morning, which makes me and Cao Jun very envious."
Cao Jun, who likes to squint at people, still has a smile on his face. He wears a pair of long and short swords around his waist and nods, "I envy you. I envy you."
Zhigui snorted coldly: "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! No wonder the ancestral house will collapse."
Cao Xi, a dignified Land Sword Immortal from Nan Posu Island and half owner of a Zhenhai Tower, was not annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled even brighter, "My aunt taught you the right lesson, but I don't know why after so many years, our old Cao family
"Xianghuo villain, why don't I have any of them? Logically speaking, I am prosperous in Posuzhou. How come the door lintels here are shining brightly and the scene is glowing at night? Why did my family end up in such a miserable state?"
Zhigui kept walking and turned to look at Cao Xi with an innocent smile, "You can be forgiven for doing evil, but you can't live for it if you do it yourself. Could it be possible that someone else ate your incense villain? Besides, the small town
There are no magic spells, and it is more difficult to raise a little Incense Man by relying on the family's ancestral influence than reaching the sky. Maybe your Cao family has never had a Little Incense Man. Right?"
Cao Xi laughed loudly, "It makes sense. My aunt, please walk slowly, the alley is dilapidated, and be careful not to sprain your feet."
Zhigui turned his back to the old bastard, his face gloomy.
From beginning to end, Chen Pingan said not a word.
Cao Jun asked with a smile: "Old Cao, what's going on? Over there in Posu Island, with your achievements, the number of incense villains can be gathered together to fight on the lintels and plaques, right?"
Cao Xi didn't take it seriously and said: "It's one thing that it's difficult to produce incense villains in Lizhu Cave. She didn't lie. But with the achievements of Xie Shi and I, there should still be one or two left, such as Xie from Taoye Lane."
The family relies on a pair of incense villains to maintain the family tradition for hundreds of years and barely save the incense heirs. Otherwise, it would have been like this dilapidated house in our house, and everyone would have died."
Cao Jun clicked his tongue and said, "Are you bothering that girl? Then you are still so kind and gentle? You don't want to sleep with her, right?"
A flaming red fox jumped from the roof onto Cao Jun's head and said with a smile: "Sleep with her? How could Lao Cao have the courage? That girl is now the center of attention. If Lao Cao were to reach a higher level, he wouldn't dare to do it.
Her hands and feet are careless, and the most she can do is make a few mouthfuls and use the wax tip of her silver gun, which is both good and bad."
Cao Xi turned his head and said with a smile: "Get away, you smell like a fox, preventing me from breathing in the breath of my hometown."
The fox standing above Cao Jun stretched out a paw, pointed at the sole of his foot, and did not forget to stamp his foot vigorously, "Come on, come on, come on, if you have the ability, use the natal sword on your wrist and chop me here, Cao Xi, don't chop me
He is my grandson. Just go ahead and chop him to death. If I hide for a moment, I will be your granddaughter!"
Cao Jun shook his head, but did not throw the fox out, and said helplessly: "You two are so angry, can you please stop hurting me? To be fair, Lao Cao just married the thirty-eighth beautiful concubine.
That’s it, if you really can’t bear this bad breath, just peel off her skin and use it as your new clothes. You have done this kind of thing for a long time and are familiar with it, so why do you want to take it out on me?”
The flaming red fox sneered: "The old bastard likes people with big buttocks and round buttocks. It has not made any progress in so many years. It is really disgusting."
Cao Xi sat on the doorstep again, nibbling on melon seeds, "Money can't buy it, I like it. Oh, by the way, bitch, I'll treat you to some melon seeds during the Chinese New Year."
Bang.
The flaming red fox shattered above Cao Jun's head, and then revealed its original shape on the roof. In an instant, it exploded again, and so on, stretching from the roof of the Cao family's old house to the next door house, all the way to leaving Mud Bottle Alley.
, the flaming red fox was spared from the disaster. His eyes were dim and he was gnashing his teeth. He sat cross-legged on a raised eaves and began to breathe.
Cao Xi had run out of melon seeds, clapped his hands and stood up, walked back to the yard, and told Cao Jun: "Don't be impatient in the near future. The Great Li Dynasty is now a battleground, and it's not as simple as you think."
Cao Jun said lazily: "I know."
"'knew'?"
Cao Xi chewed on the words, and finally sneered: "You are not qualified to say these three words."
Cao Jun said cynically: "I know."
Cao Xi strode into the house and said bitterly: "Trash from the Nine Realms!"
Cao Jun looked calm.
Chen Ping'an arrived at the gate of the next courtyard, handed the bucket back to the girl, and asked casually: "Song Jixin didn't come back?"
She answered the question inappropriately, "Where are the hens and chickens in my cage?"
Chen Ping'an looked confused and said, "I don't know."
The girl looked at the boy carefully. She suddenly smiled brightly and stopped asking further questions. Instead, she stretched out two fingers and made a gesture, "Now Song Mu is so much taller than you."
Chen Pingan said oh, turned around and walked back to his yard.
Chen Ping'an had just unlocked the door and entered the yard. Suddenly he saw the upside-down character "福" above his door. It had disappeared. He became furious and walked directly to the courtyard wall without saying a word.
where?!"
Then he laughed angrily and realized that the word "福" was posted on the door of the next door.
This thief is really brave.
The girl put the bucket in the kitchen, walked out slowly, and said innocently: "I don't know."
The answer is exactly the same as the one given by Chen Pingan before.
Chen Pingan said angrily: "Give it back to me!"
Zhigui opened his eyes wide, "Then I deliberately left the wooden figure in the kitchen. You obviously touched it, but I didn't say anything to you."
Chen Ping'an suddenly became speechless, feeling a little unreasonable.
Zhigui suddenly asked: "Qi Jing... Mr. Qi's school, have you posted the Spring Festival couplets?"
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's posted, the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" are not missing."
Chen Ping'an didn't want to get entangled with her anymore, so he went directly to the house and took out the remaining "Fu" character, then set up a ladder and pasted a new "Fu" character on it.
The girl stood on the other side of the courtyard wall and reminded: "It's crooked."
Chen Pingan remained unmoved and gently tamped the red paper and paste with his fingers.
To be continued...
