Sword comes

The water is deep and silent, and the rain is mostly short.

Not long after Chen Ping'an and A Liang walked back under the big tree, the torrential rain had turned into a light rain. The raindrops kept dripping from the leaves. Concerned, Chen Pingan smiled brightly, rubbed her little head, and said softly that it was all right.The little girl's face suddenly brightened, like an unexpected rainbow after the rain, so clean that it makes people tremble.At this moment, Chen Ping'an suddenly felt a little guilty, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, and many words were stuck in his heart, so he had to practice the sword stove standing silently.

When A Liang saw this scene, he smiled knowingly, but Li Huai's words quickly dispelled A Liang's good mood, A Liang, A Liang, I heard Chen Pingan say that you went to the mountain to poop, because this way you don't have to wipe your butt. .Ah Liang smiled and asked, was it really what Chen Ping An said?Li Huai glanced at Chen Ping'an who was standing not far away, probably because he was afraid that A Liang would confront Chen Ping'an, he also imitated A Liang's tone and smiled, saying that although Chen Ping'an didn't say it, I think he must be Thinking this way, of course I don't think you are such a person, Ah Liang. I also explained it to Sister Zhu Lu, and patted my chest to ensure that you, Ah Liang, are not like this.Ah Liang gently grabbed Li Huai's ear, lowered his head and asked with a smile, "Oh?Li Huai said sadly, "Aliang, it's all Chen Ping'an's fault, it's not a thing, do you want me to scold him for you?"Ah Liang twisted this little bastard's ears hard, when I, Ah Liang, lied, right?Li Huai screamed, but unfortunately no one was willing to pay attention, Li Huai immediately turned the rudder, A Liang A Liang, I have a sister named Li Liu, the name is a bit ugly, she is beautiful, this will definitely not lie to you, Lin Both Shouyi and Dong Shuijing secretly like my sister. Dong Shuijing goes to our house for dinner whenever he has something to do. Every time he sees my sister, he is so grown up and blushes. It's really disgusting.A Liang, I think you are much stronger than Dong Shuijing. You are handsome and good-natured. You can ride a donkey and drink wine. Would you like to help me and my sister get acquainted in the future?

Ah Liang quickly released Li Huai's ears, put his hands on Li Huai's shoulders, pressed down, and smiled, let's squat down and talk slowly.

Chen Ping'an walked to Zhu He and Zhu Lu's father and daughter, and asked, "Uncle Zhu He, can we chat?"

The man grinned and said, "It's been a long time since you said that. Let's just walk around, anyway, the rain is already very small."

The two walked side by side out of the unknown big tree with a shade as big as a mountain. Before Chen Ping'an could ask, Zhu He himself reported his home and roots, "Chen Ping'an, so many strange things happened in the town before, you Since I was able to survive under the hands of the mountain-moving monkey in Zhengyang Mountain, and became an ally with the girl from the other country, I guess you already know a lot of things, so I will not hide anything. After all, the safety of the young lady is the most important thing, we Both father and daughter are the sons of the Li family. They have been slaves for generations, begging for a job in the master Li family. Although it sounds pitiful, it is not as bad as you think. From the ancestors back, to the head of the family, and then to our Miss Aquarius, no one treats our father and daughter as people, especially the young lady and my daughter, in fact, their relationship is no worse than that of ordinary sisters."

When he said this, the middle-aged man turned his head to look at his daughter who was standing under the big tree and looked away from a distance. It was the time when the girl's figure was drawn, and it had not really grown. It would be a real big girl in about a year. Girl, he felt that his daughter would not be inferior to any daughter in the capital of Dali. He has always been very proud of this, and firmly believes that his daughter Zhu Lu will definitely shine in Dali in the future.

It needs to be known that Da Li always respects women, so women can’t help but devote themselves to the battlefield to fight the enemy bravely. The first emperor of Da Li even specially ordered the Ministry of Rites to set up a whole set of martial arts titles for female warriors and monks, which was the first of its kind on a continent. It was once headed by Guanhu Academy. Scholars and literati criticized and set off a great chaos, targeting the northern barbarian Dali Dynasty. If Qi Jingchun, the mountain owner of the Mountain Cliff Academy, fought against the public opinion, maybe the young emperor at that time would have been forced to discuss the public opinion in the court and the opposition. Therefore, the decree will be withdrawn.

Zhu He smiled and said, "After I found out that I had the fundamental talent for martial arts, I spent a lot of money to cultivate my Zhu He without saying a word. That's why I have the skills I have now. My daughter Zhu Lu is similar. The second stage of martial arts fell short, and his future achievements are higher than that of me, a father. After the ancestors found out that Zhu Lu was a good seedling in martial arts, he personally told me that Zhu Lu had hope to become a legend. The seventh realm of warriors, I, Zhu He, are only worthy of the fifth realm. "

Speaking of this, Zhu He felt a little lost. The warriors ascended to the realm, and there was no equal fight against the enemy. There was no life-and-death tempering on the line. Only relying on talent is destined to not go far, and once the opportunity is missed, it is impossible to climb up in one go. It will become more and more exhausted, and it will be exhausted again and again, and the road to the top will be completely cut off.

Zhu He suppressed the gloom in his heart and continued: "This time we will escort the young lady away from Da Li. First of all, we are the closest, and our skills are not bad, and we are the son of the Li family. The least loyal. Second, it's the first time for a young lady to go out, and she needs a careful person to take care of her food and daily life. Zhu Lu is a suitable candidate. Third, my young lady is the most distressed junior by my ancestors. The person, none other than the old ancestor himself. It’s just that Master Ruan’s Fengxue Temple is the same door. After that A Liang appeared, the ancestor returned to the town, because now there is no restriction in the town, you can have no scruples. Receiving the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is equivalent to practicing in a blessed land. The ancestors are about to break through, and they will not come again when the opportunity is not lost. Anyway, with A Liang serving as a personal squire, there should be nothing wrong."

Zhu He thought for a while and explained: "Our ancestors have a unique vision and a broad mind. Although they doted on the young lady, when the young lady traveled to study, the ancestors not only did not keep the young lady by her side, but sheltered her in the wings. Instead, she made it clear that the little girl would not only go to Shanya Academy, but she would go by herself for the second half of the journey, the descendants of the Li family should have such audacity."

Zhu He suddenly laughed out loud, "It's just that when I said this, the old ancestor looked worried again, and he was talking about it, but our little treasure bottle is only ten years old. It's not that I can talk about it later. Finally, when the ancestor made up his mind not to follow quietly all the way, he turned back three times, like an old child, for the first time in history. So Zhu Lu told me privately that the ancestor was true to the young lady. it is good."

Zhu He said gratefully: "Miss is good to my family Zhu Lu. Miss has liked to chat with Zhu Lu since she was a child. Watching Zhu Lu practice martial arts, Zhu Lu has been able to come to this day. In fact, Miss has done a lot."

Chen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle Zhu He, with you here, I'm relieved."

In the small town, Chen Ping'an trusts no one except Mr. Qi.

Even Master Ruan, just like Chen Ping'an said to Li Baoping, what he believed was only the promise of a sage from this side, some of the rules that Mr. Qi had followed, not Master Ruan himself.

This is an unspeakable intuition, it can be said to be innate, but more of it has to be boiled out, just like the medicine that the straw-shoe boy gave to the girl Ning.

It was the same for A Liang and Zhu He before, and it was no exception.

Chen Ping'an didn't care about food and clothing and never suffered hardships, so stupid is good to everyone.The hardships of life, the ugliness of people's hearts, the suffering of poverty, and the lonely youth have long been engraved on their bones.

Zhu He patted the young man's slender shoulders, and with just one slap, the bones were strong and tough, a little beyond the expectations of this martial artist of the five realms, but he soon felt relieved.He, Zhu He, absolutely does not have such courage and insight, but when he thinks of this, Zhu He can't help but sigh, he is not yet 40 years old, has his ambitions and ambitions been exhausted? The young man who is walking.

Zhu He was also a little curious, and asked with a smile: "Although I have never walked out of the small town, I don't know the rules of the outside world, but the old ancestor once said in small talk that if you meet fellows in the rivers and lakes at the foot of the mountain, there are so many taboos. For example, monks don't say their names, they don't say their longevity, and they can ask their teachers, but not the number of martial arts. But I'm really curious, how did you escape from the mountain ape? That chase in your town, I I just listened to my ancestors afterwards."

Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I have been running for my life, from the mud bottle alley to the mountains. If it wasn't for Miss Ning, I would have died a long time ago."

Zhu He hesitated for a moment, then reminded softly: "You must cherish these good relationships, with that girl Ning, and with Master Ruan... Master Ruan, you must be careful to maintain stability, and don't break it."

Chen Pingan was a little puzzled.

Zhu He said with emotion: "We are just frogs at the bottom of the well in Lizhudongtian. The gap between everyone is limited, just like you and me, martial arts cultivation base, if you die, you will be the difference between the five realms. As for my identity, I have a family of children, do I still have the qualifications to look down on you who are innocent and innocent? ? But the world outside the well will be very different. The further you go and the longer you spend outside the well, the more you will understand it more thoroughly."

Chen Ping'an said sincerely: "I didn't want to go that far."

Zhu He laughed and said, "You can think about it."

Chen Pingan nodded.

Chen Pingan has always cherished the kindness of others.

Regarding the malice of others, if there is no way to explain the truth to those people for the time being, then rest assured and never forget it.

After all, there is still a long way to go.

----

Under the big tree, Li Huai, who had just sold his sister Li Liu, now has a very thick waist in front of A Liang, and said carelessly: "A Liang, I will ask Chen Ping'an to make you a wine gourd, you can put the one around your waist. Give it to me, little gourd, the family will never treat you badly if you don't say anything, anyway, you look old and don't match the status of my brother-in-law!"

A Liangshen said mysteriously: "You know the shit, this gourd is called Yangjian gourd. It is a rare good thing in the world. It looks inconspicuous and is very valuable. How many sisters do you have? Anyway, killing one is not enough. !"

Seeing that Ah Liang rarely spoke to himself in such tough words, the little brat felt a little drum in his heart, looked at the little gourd greedily, raised his head reluctantly, and asked tentatively, "How about I let my parents have more babies? A big sister? It's easy to discuss, isn't it?"

Allan reached out and covered his forehead.

For no reason, he remembered that he walked down the hillside with Chen Ping'an before, and the young man even compared himself to Zhu He of the fifth realm. A Liang let go of his hand, sighed, and picked up a dry branch and scratched it on the ground.

Li Huai looked over and saw that it was a crooked word, and it was really not as good-looking as his Meng Tong, let alone Lin Shouyi, who even Mr. Qi said was not tacky.

The more Li Huai looked at it, the more embarrassing he felt. He looked at A Liang's writing, and then looked at the silver-white wine gourd around his waist. After a battle between heaven and man, Li Huai said, "A Liang, your writing is so ugly, I decided It's better not to be your brother-in-law, my parents hope that my sister will marry a scholar in the future."

A Liang raised his head slowly, his face full of disbelief, "Is it ugly?"

Li Huai was in a heavy heart and nodded vigorously.

The child felt that if his sister Li Liu dared to grab something from him next time, he would scold her for being unconscionable, but he didn't even want that sword gourd for her sake.

Ah Liang looked like you were young and ignorant, and he smiled and said: "How is it possible, I'm not bragging to you, in a place far away from this place, I don't know how many people saw this word, and they all stood up. thumb."

Li Huai asked suspiciously, "In person?"

A Lianggan smiled and said, "I heard, I heard."

Li Huai said: "I'll just say, whoever has the cheek to tell you that he is good at writing face to face, I will worship him as a teacher. I guess even my mother can't scold him."

Ah Liang sneered: "You worship someone as a teacher, and they will accept you as their apprentice?"

Li Huai said seriously: "Don't accept it? Is he blind?"

A Liang covered his forehead again, because that guy was really blind.

Thinking that he should not talk to this little bastard, A Liang raised his head and looked around, looking left and right, and finally saw the girl Zhu Lu, smiled and said: "Zhu Lu, do you want to learn swordsmanship? I have some swords now. I'm intrigued..."

Not far away, Zhu Lu was worried about his young lady.

&

nbsp; The little girl in the red padded jacket put her hands on her cheeks, looked at the direction in which the little master was leaving, and frowned.

After hearing Ah Liang's words, the girl said angrily, "Go and cool off!"

A Liang's eyes are innocent and blank: "It just rained so hard, you see I'm soaked all over."

The girl noticed her mistake, but she still sneered: "I'm a fool, I don't know how to do it, I'm not a good person!"

A Liang said angrily, "Little Treasure Bottle, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, am I a good person?!"

Li Huai fell to the ground, "Just like a good person. But if you are willing to give me a wine gourd, you are a good person."

Lin Shouyi said indifferently: "Don't lie to me to drink in the future. Sir has already said that there are hundreds of poems about literati fighting wine, all of which are fake."

Only the little girl in the red cotton-padded jacket secretly smiled at A Liang, and A Liang suddenly felt warm in his heart and gave her a thumbs up, dismissing the cynicism of the other two guys as a deaf ear.

Ah Liang's arena is not for nothing after all.

When Chen Ping'an and Zhu He walked back, the group started again.

When the original southeast Longwei River circled to the south, it became a brand-new Tiefu River in the local county records of Dali, and the river was surging and the water potential rose sharply.

The width of the river and the depth of the river are far better than the previous stream.

At the suggestion of Chen Ping'an, I took a break, cooked rice and cooked here, and then went on my way after lunch.

Li Huai stood by the river, akimbo and tutted: "Aliang, have you ever seen such a big water before?"

The former white donkey A Liang glanced at the junction of the river and the river, then looked behind him, and finally smiled at Li Huai: "I have seen more rivers than you have eaten."

Li Huai suddenly became unhappy, "Aliang, do you feel uncomfortable if you don't brag for a day?!"

Ah Liang turned a deaf ear, walked over to the boy who built the simple stove, and said softly, "Come on, let's walk by the river, I have something to tell you."

Chen Ping'an was stunned for a while, so he asked Zhu Lu, the maid of the Li family, to help him. Li Baoping had been able to help a lot along the way. He even knew how to help Ah Liang to feed the white donkey, so he helped Zhu neatly. Sister Lu cooks together, and asks her little uncle to just go for a walk by the river, all wrapped up in her playful appearance.

In these days, the little girl always insisted on carrying the basket on her own and tried her best to take care of everything by herself.

Every time the teenager punches and walks, she often stays by his side silently, imitating and cute.

The two walked to the river and then marched down the river.

A Liang said to each other frankly: "I like the little girl Bao Ping very much, of course, you will only like it more than me."

Chen Ping'an looked back, the little girl was busy over there, and her legs were like wheels. Compare Lin Shouyi, who does one thing, and Li Huai, who doesn't do anything, although Li Baoping is still young, But alive, even just looking at her is like seeing a beautiful spring.

Chen Pingan nodded.

A Liang said again: "But you always feel that something is wrong, don't you?"

Chen Pingan snorted, "Since I talked to me about martial arts last time, I talked a lot in one breath, but after that, it seems that she doesn't like to talk much."

A Liang asked: "Did you tell her anything you expect, such as what kind of person do you want her to be in the future?"

Chen Ping'an turned his head suddenly, his face full of shock.

A Liang probably didn't want to hurt people with his words unintentionally, so he decided to be careful with his words, so he simply stopped, squatted by the river, and threw stones lightly. , Huiji will hurt, ordinary people are naturally not qualified to apply these two statements, but Li Baoping is different, although he is still young, the first point is of course nothing to do, but the second point, she has already applied, you will You, Chen Pingan, have been relied on, so every unintentional remark or every unintentional act of yours will make the little girl deeply in her heart. Words are very strange, they will fall into my heart word by word It’s piled up, maybe you think my statement is more like an old pedant and a sour scholar with a half bucket of water, but the truth is really the same.”

Chen Ping'an exhaled softly, "It's my fault. I was afraid that she would not have the confidence to go to Shanya Academy, so I said I hope she can become a female gentleman, little master."

A Liang smiled, "'It's my fault'? Chen Ping'an, you are wrong."

The young man was puzzled.

Ah Liang didn't look at the boy, he just looked lazily at the calm river, "You just didn't do better, not wrong."

The teenager was even more puzzled. The two statements are different, but the results are still the same, aren't they?

A Liang finally turned his head, as if seeing through the young man's mind at a glance, shook his head and said, "It's very different. Do you know why the good people in the world are more aggrieved than the other? For example, Qi Jingchun, the Mr. Qi you know can obviously do more. It's more enjoyable, but in the end, it's just so useless and aggrieved? When you look around, it seems like those bad people, but each one is more handsome and happier than the other, such as the two enemies you mentioned to me before. Yangshan Mountain Protector, old Longcheng City Lord Fu Shao, after they return to their own territory, they will indeed have a very comfortable life, one has a high status and enjoys respect on the credit book, and the other is ambitious and determined to be in the north."

A Liang looked at the young man who was in deep thought, and smiled casually: "So, being a good person is very tiring, you must not be a good person, and you will feel that you don't get rewarded, or just get an unexpected answer. If you do something wrong, you can't feel that you will never be a good person in the future. This... is wrong!"

A Liang's face was serious, his tone increased, and he repeated the last sentence: "This is not right!"

A Liang laughed and turned into the slut who didn't care about everything again, "Of course, Li Baoping is very good, the little girl is just repaying you in her unique way, don't think about it."

Chen Pingan shook his head vigorously and said, "No, no."

A Liang nodded, "That's why I'm willing to tell you this."

He simply sat on the ground and put a bamboo knife on his knees, "You know, I rarely reason with people, my reason..."

A Liang paused for a while, and patted the green bamboo sword on his knee, "I used to use the sword, but now I use this sword for the time being."

Even if it doesn't rain and the sun is not big, Ah Liang will still wear that humble bamboo hat, he held the hat, "If your character is not to my taste, even if the meaning of the hairpin is what I imagined before. It's so important, even if you are the person selected by Qi Jingchun, I will not nag you about these words. The big deal is to send you to Da Li. If you are in a good mood, just throw you to Da Sui. For me , what's the difficulty?"

This hippie smiling man became serious, and he slapped the bamboo knife lightly with both hands, "For me, Ah Liang, life is between heaven and earth, the road has to be walked by oneself, the words have to be said by oneself, and people have to do it by themselves. I think you Chen Ping'an , it should be like this, not all of them are like me, but the waist is straight enough, the fist is big enough, the bones are hard enough, and the swordsmanship is high enough!"

A Liang laughed, "Don't forget, the most important thing is to live long enough!"

Chen Ping'an said honestly: "Aliang, although some of them understand it, and some are not very clear, I will keep it in my heart, and I will take it out and think about it if I encounter it in the future."

A Liang nodded and said with relief, "That's enough."

Ah Liang stood up first, walked a few steps, and suddenly turned around and said, "Chen Pingan, I've finished the dry food I brought."

After he finished speaking, A Liang left quickly, walked towards Li Baoping Zhu Lu, and shouted, "Have dinner, have you eaten yet?!"

Leaving a young man who has not returned to God.

After all, this guy is just eating and drinking in such a big circle?

Chen Pingan smiled and followed.

----

One evening, a group of people passed by a lush green mountain bamboo forest. The little girl in the red jacket tugged Chen Ping'an's sleeve, pointed her finger there, and asked in a low voice, "Little Master, the bamboo forest, isn't it beautiful?"

The young man who was busy on the road hummed, and continued to bury his head on the road, because they were about to see the so-called post road of A Liang, the official road of the Dali court.

The little girl was silent, flipped the basket behind her, and still followed closely behind the boy.

She slept in the narrow cowhide tent set up by Zhu Lu at night, the little girl pouted and felt a little aggrieved when she remembered something, and finally told herself that the little uncle was fine.Then fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, the sleepy little girl did not dare to snooze, fearing that she would delay the scheduled schedule of the little uncle, so she quickly dressed herself and put on the pair of straw sandals that the little uncle helped her to make. As a result, the little girl just got out. The tent, the whole person is stunned.

Just outside the tent, there was a beautiful green bamboo bookcase.

The little girl was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly burst into tears.

The teenager who had been busy all night was in a coma in the distance. After being woken up by the cry, he quickly got up and ran over to stand in front of the little girl. Chen Pingan was at a loss for a while. He felt his head and didn't know how to comfort her. Yiliang will be happy when he sees the small bamboo box.

Seeing Li Baoping so sad, Chen Pingan was really distressed.

The little girl closed her eyes and cried for a long time. After she opened her eyes to see Chen Ping'an, she stopped crying, ran to him quickly, hugged Chen Ping'an fiercely, and choked: "Little Master, I'm sorry!"

Chen Ping'an had to pat the little girl's head gently, "Don't cry, don't cry."

The little girl just cried and was sad.

Chen Ping'an said softly: "Don't like the small bamboo box? Is it because the little uncle did not look good? It's okay, I can change the look next time, there is no way, the little uncle has only seen the small book box once before, and then he went to the lively outside. place, good-looking bookcase again, you tell the little uncle..."

The little girl raised her head, her face full of tears, "I like it! There is nothing more like this!"

But it seems that the more she likes it, the more the little girl feels that she has no conscience, and the more guilty she feels towards her little uncle, she squatted on the ground and sobbed, not daring to look at her little uncle.

Chen Ping'an thought of what Ah Liang said yesterday, and suddenly understood, he squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and said softly, "Li Baoping, do you know? It's really nice that my uncle can accompany you on a long-distance study tour. I'm happy, but I haven't told you before, so now my uncle has told you, if you can still like this worthless little bamboo bookcase, then my uncle will be even happier. Really, I won't lie to you. "

The little girl raised her head slowly, but her hands were still covering her face. She only dared to show her fingers, quietly revealing those aura-filled eyes, and sobbed timidly, "Isn't little uncle lying?"

The young man's eyes were clear and he nodded: "Little Martial Uncle can also deceive people, but not Li Baoping."

The little girl quickly took her hand away and smiled brightly.

She is the carefree, innocent little girl in the impression of a teenager again.

So the young man also smiled brightly.

Some people's hearts are like flowers and trees, all born to the sun.

This is especially true of the little uncle and the little girl.
