The red sun set in the west, the bonfire was lit, and she was very happy to see the surrounding people singing and dancing. Xing Zhiying was also infected by the extremely joyful atmosphere. While she was silently cheering herself up, she heard Huangfu Yingyang's joking voice: "Why?
So, little Ying’er, I don’t have a feathered arrow, right?”
Xing Zhiying's face became hot, she lowered her head and said softly: "You are not allowed to help me anymore, I want to compete with others based on my real ability."
Huangfu Yingyang shook his head, and also lowered his voice and said: "Your half-baked skills will definitely disgrace my little grandmaster. I can't stand idly by."
Xing Zhiying hesitated secretly, unable to hide her grievance and said: "It's not your own decision. You have to ask me to participate in this archery magic, otherwise I would have no need to deceive others?"
Huangfu Yingyang rolled his eyes and said, "Really? Then why didn't you tell the truth earlier, and you blame me now?"
Xing Zhiying was at a loss for words. In her embarrassment, she heard Huangfu Yingyang chuckle and say: "Okay, I'm cheating anyway. You and your niece have both reached 120 steps. If you try harder next, that big yak will be ours."
That’s it.”
Xing Zhiying only regretted that she had accidentally boarded the "thief ship", and she really didn't dare to tell the truth at the moment. She could only sigh and said: "It's been an hour since the horse racing, why haven't Sister Sanjimar and the others come back yet?
?”
Huangfu Yingyang pondered and said: "I just inquired about it. The Crescent Canyon is more than fifty miles away from us. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. I guess we will be there soon."
Xing Zhiying's heart moved and she asked casually: "I wonder what the winnings of that horse racing are? Are they also cattle and sheep?"
Huangfu Yingyang smiled and said: "No, no, that lottery is incredible. It is definitely what the young men in this clan dream of most."
Xing Zhiying was very curious and said with a suspicious look on her face: "The most coveted thing? And it's young men? Stop showing off, what is it?"
Huangfu Yingyang shook his head and said with emotion: "Xiao Ying'er is still the same as before. She never uses her brain. When something happens, she just stares with big eyes and asks people. Ahem... There is a saying in the Book of Songs: 'Guan Guan Ju Jiu'
, In River Continent, My Fair Lady, Gentlemen are so jealous, you should understand now, right?"
Xing Zhiying was too lazy to pay attention to Huangfu Yingyang's teasing. After realizing it, she pursed her lips and chuckled: "It turns out that the lucky number is Sister Sanjimar. This is really interesting."
Huangfu Yingyang also smiled and said: "Originally it was Brother Ha's saber, but my niece was added to it three years ago. It's a pity that the prize was never given away."
Xing Zhiying laughed more and more and said: "No wonder those who participate in horse racing are all young men. The lottery is indeed very attractive. Since Uncle Shi doesn't accept old age, why not give it a try?"
Huangfu Yingyang glanced at Xing Zhiying and said calmly: "If I really go, won't your little Ying'er be left alone, which is not appropriate."
Xing Zhiying felt ashamed and angry, and stammered: "What does it have to do with you and me? You can go as you please. Who will become a loner again?"
Huangfu Yingyang said innocently: "Xiao Ying'er, you must be thinking too much. What I mean is that if I weren't watching you, what if your greedy temper flared up and you accidentally caused some trouble?
, and it just happened to fall into the eyes of your brother Qi’s master, that would not end well.”
Xing Zhiying knew clearly that Huangfu Yingyang was being sophistical, but if she continued to pester him, it would only make herself more embarrassed. She had no choice but to snort, turn her head and ignore it.
Huangfu Yingyang didn't feel dissatisfied at all, he just picked up the leather bag beside him, tilted his neck and drank some wine. After a few mouthfuls of strong wine, his pale face finally regained some rosy color, but he still couldn't hide his loneliness in his expression.
.
Xing Zhiying looked at it clearly and hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice: "Where did you get this strange disease? Why haven't you recovered after so long?"
Huangfu Yingyang said calmly: "Sickness comes like a mountain falling, and sickness goes away like a thread spinning. In short, it's no problem."
When Xing Zhiying saw Huangfu Ying's high spirits, she originally planned to ask him if he would go with him in the future, but at this moment she couldn't ask him.
After a long moment of relative silence, Xing Zhiying said: "I just heard them calling me 'Zhang Qiu Xianpa' or something like that. What does that mean?"
Huangfu Yingyang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said vaguely: "How do I know? Although I have stayed here for a while, I can't understand the local dialect."
Xing Zhiying hit another snag, and couldn't help but feel angry. Just when her face turned cold and she ignored Huangfu Yingyang, she suddenly heard a hearty laugh and said: "Okay, so you two are hiding here, can you let me
It’s been easy to find for a while.”
Xing Zhiying followed the sound and saw Ai Li holding a clay pot and approaching with a smile.
The two of them did not dare to neglect, and immediately stepped forward to salute. Huangfu Yingyang sniffed and chuckled: "Actually, you don't have to listen to the sound. Just smelling the unique aroma of wine, you will know that the eldest sister is here."
Ellie smiled and said: "You little brat, it's a blessing. Fortunately, I hid a bottle secretly and didn't let big brother snatch it away. Hehe... little Bodhisattva might as well come and have a taste."
Xing Zhiying said shyly: "I appreciate Auntie's kindness, but I've never been a teetotaler, so I ask for Auntie's forgiveness."
Ai Li was stunned when she heard this, then slapped her forehead and said, "Yes, yes, it's not a good thing for girls to drink. Jade Bodhisattva didn't drink either at the beginning."
Xing Zhiying thought of the words "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared" when Ellie first met her, so she didn't pay much attention to the name of this "little Bodhisattva".
But when she heard the name "Jade Bodhisattva" again, she couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, so she asked tentatively: "Why did my aunt call me 'Little Bodhisattva'? Is there any origin in it?"
Ellie said in astonishment: "This... everyone called it that, so I followed suit. Is there any problem?"
Seeing Xing Zhiying's confusion, Allie suddenly said: "It turns out that Miss Xing doesn't know. When you competed with my girl in archery, everyone called you 'Zhang Qiu Xianpa', which means Bodhisattva."
Only then did Xing Zhiying understand. After being embarrassed, she heard Ellie say enthusiastically: "It seems that this kid didn't tell you that the Grand Master and Jade Bodhisattva and his wife came here and helped us drive away King Shura's men.
."
"Later, during the Chinese New Year, the Jade Bodhisattva relied on the featherless arrows taught by the great master to defeat several of our archery masters. Especially the jealous husband of Hatulena was still unconvinced after losing and insisted on adding one hundred and fifty.
After repeated comparisons, the Jade Bodhisattva still shot accurately, but he missed the target, ha..."
Thinking about the past, she couldn't help but laugh heartily, but Xing Zhiying was already blushing with embarrassment. She had known that "Uncle Shi" had ulterior motives and had no good intentions. She had obviously paid attention to it, but she would have fallen into his trap in the end.
Although she felt ashamed and inexplicable, the top priority was to clarify the facts. Xing Zhiying quickly straightened her appearance, bowed her hands to Ellie and said, "Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. Uncle Shi and I are just walking together, and there is absolutely no personal relationship. This little girl
