Mikago

Ye Zuolan guessed that this girl knew some martial arts, and dodging would not be of much use, so she walked over to dissuade her.

"Girl, you can't do this."

Who knew that the girl gave him a vicious look: "What girl, you also called the girl?"

You can't call me a girl, so what's your name?Ye Zuolan was speechless for a moment.

He felt sorry for the medicinal herbs on the ground again, so he lowered his voice and urged: "Get off here quickly, the mistress of this house is coming back soon. She hates young and beautiful women the most. If you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be too late!" "

The girl didn't move at all, and asked back with a smile: "So what if she hates me? There are many people who hate me in this world, and there are not many people who are still alive."

Murderous.

Ye Zuolan immediately became vigilant, and quietly gripped the bamboo pole hidden behind her back.

But at this moment, the girl in red asked abruptly, "Are you Lu You?"

Ye Zuolan was taken aback, and immediately understood the girl's background.He nodded: "I don't know what advice Master Qi has?"

"Advice? Didn't you ask him to invite me over?"

After the girl uttered such an inexplicable sentence, she finally jumped off the bamboo shelf and stood on the ground silently.

Ye Zuolan instinctively wanted to retreat, but it was already too late.The woman walked around him twice, raised his arm again, and turned to look at his back.She even reached out and twisted his side waist.

"what are you doing--"

Ye Zuolan had never had such intimate contact with the opposite sex, and was immediately embarrassed.Who knew that the girl in red actually raised her hand and slapped him hard on the buttocks.

"Don't make noise, just stand still!"

It's strange to say that although she looks young, her voice sounds old-fashioned, even with a hint of majesty.

Ye Zuolan froze in embarrassment, and was touched in several places in the blink of an eye.

The girl in red nodded until she had touched it enough, and said with satisfaction, "My name is Li Hongqu. The red Fuqu. Starting today, I will teach you the martial arts you want. Your aptitude is pretty good, but it's a pity that you don't have muscles. There is no power, so you still have to learn from scratch."

martial arts?

Only then did Ye Zuolan remember that she had mentioned the idea of ​​practicing martial arts to Qi Yunchu's subordinates, but Qi Yunchu really took it to heart.

It's just... the little girl in front of me who is not a few years older than me is really suitable for teaching people martial arts?

To be honest, Ye Zuolan didn't believe it.Therefore, he proposed to first look at Li Hongzhi's boxing skills.

"Hey! It's such a trouble, I wouldn't have come if I knew about it!"

Li Hongzhu muttered in her mouth, as if she was quite reluctant, and suddenly stretched her legs and swept towards Ye Zuolan's lower body!

Ye Zuolan was caught off guard, her knees bent and she was about to fall backwards.Li Hongzhi took another step forward, supporting his back with his left hand and grabbing his neck with his right hand, taking him down easily like this.

But when Ye Zuolan fell, he bumped into the bamboo poles behind him, and there was a "huh la la", the rows of bamboo poles full of clothes shook a few times, and they fell into the mud.

Ye Zuolan only had time to cry out in pain, and suddenly fell heavily to the ground.

With his chin facing the sky, he saw a red figure quickly pick up the bamboo pole in his hand, and lifted the nearest piece of clothing into the air.Then came the second, and the third...

Li Hongzhi's movements were so fast that she could hardly see clearly, she saw pieces of clothing flying in mid-air, and then landed steadily on the bamboo pole she was holding, gradually piling up into a big bulging burden.

"Take it."

She poked the bamboo pole towards Ye Zuolan, and a dozen pieces of clothes immediately fell on Ye Zuolan's body, carrying the unique faint smell of sunshine.

Ye Zuolan hurriedly carried the clothes into the room and put them away, and when she ran out again, Li Honghe sat back on the top of the tall medicine shelf and crossed her legs to look at the scenery.

Ye Zuolan was convinced at this time.He looked up at this mysterious girl, and felt a faint excitement in his heart.

He asked her: "Do you really want to teach me martial arts?"

Li Hongqu sneered: "I have three things I don't teach, first, I don't teach idiots; second, I don't teach ugly men; third, I don't teach people who have no tutor or manners."

Ye Zuolan thought for a while, then hurriedly turned her head and bowed: "Master, please accept my apprentice's bow!"

Li Hongqu is really a mysterious woman.She never revealed her origin and origin, but would come to Dayefang every three days to teach Ye Zuolan boxing and kicking skills.She looks like a young girl in appearance, but she is mature and open-minded when she is capable of doing things, and her gestures are full of the atmosphere of the world that Ye Zuolan has never seen before.

She loves to drink, but she never drinks the homemade rice wine that the Lu family stockpiles.Every time she came to look for Ye Zuolan, she would bring two gold-painted wine gourds with her, one of which she drank herself, and the other for Ye Zuolan to drink.

The wine in the gourd smelled strange, with a very obvious smell of medicinal materials, and a few times it also had an indescribably terrible stench.However, once he drank it, within a short while, Ye Zuolan would feel hot all over his body, from his dantian to his chest, the line of his back, as well as his hands and feet, as if several fire paths had been burned, and then his body became very light again. , It is not easy to feel sore after practicing.

In today's world of martial arts, anyone with a little reputation in the Jianghu should have an elegant title.Of course, Ye Zuolan also asked Li Honghe about her martial arts school, but Li Honghe patted him on the head, mockingly said that she only learned a little bit of basic superficiality, and she was delusional about putting money on her face.He also said that when he leaves the teacher, it will not be too late to ask about the martial art routines.

Before you know it, summer ends and autumn goes, and spring comes in the east.

Ever since she safely arrived in Liuquan City, Ye Yueshan began to interact with Ye Zuolan's wild geese.

She said that her uncle treated her very well here.There is no mistreating or making things difficult for the cost of food and clothing.And Ye Zuolan also wrote back to her, saying that everything is safe on her side, and that the people from the Ministry of Punishment seemed to have given up on hunting down their brother and sister, but she also told Ye Yueshan not to take it lightly.

And the only thing that makes the siblings feel uneasy at the same time is the current situation of their parents.

Calculating the time, the escort team should have already arrived at the place of exile.But no news came back from there at all, and the huge two people were like mud cows falling into the sea, and there was no news.

And since the banquet that night, Ye Zuolan never saw Qi Yunchu again—just like after Qiting said goodbye, he never heard any news about Tang Ruilang again.

Life is like a precipice.After a terrible collapse, a delicate balance has been found again.

In the blink of an eye, several batches of castrated men were sent away from the Lu family's outer clean room. Ye Zuolan read more than half of the books in the book box, and Li Hongzhi also began to teach him some basic martial arts routines.

In the early spring of the third year, when Ye Zuolan had just turned 13 years old, news of the death of his father and mother came from the exile far in the east.

----------------

No one knows exactly the cause of Ye Kaiquan and his wife's death—after all, as two tortured exiles who are no longer young, it is not easy to reach the place of exile safely.

For those in charge of the Ministry of Punishments, they are just two names on the list of exiles, which can be crossed out with a light stroke of a red pen.However, for Ye Zuolan, it was like the sky falling apart.

After the initial bewilderment, his first decision was not to tell Ye Yueshan for the time being.

It wasn't that she was worried that her sister would not be able to bear the blow, but that her uncle would change her attitude towards Ye Yueshan after learning of her mother's death.

The only thing to be thankful for is that someone seemed to mediate, the bones of Ye Kaiquan and his wife were not buried on the spot, but were cremated and brought back to Zhaojing with the official errands on their way back.

When hearing the news, Ye Zuolan's first thought was: I must take back the ashes of my parents!

He immediately inquired in many ways, and soon learned that the ashes were now placed in the Qinglong Temple near Yanxing Gate.After finishing the ceremony, they will be sent out of the city to find a place to be buried.

Once out of the city, it will be troublesome to recover.

After thinking about it, Ye Zuolan became very anxious, so she told her master Li Honghe about it.He originally thought that his master would object, but who knew that this eccentric woman expressed her support without saying a word, and wanted to explore Qinglong Temple with him at night.
