Chapter 535 Troublesome Matters in This Area
In the evening, Shi Xiaoliu and three others sat in the rented yard and watched the stars. The three of them were in a very comfortable mood.
“It’s much more comfortable and comfortable to rent a small courtyard.”
Shi Xiaoliu said deeply, Shi Zelan looked at him: “But when we leave, there are things we need to take with us. "That's a lot."
Xia Yu nodded and said, "Yes."
Moreover, we had to get up early to fetch water, and there would always be smoke coming from the kitchen roof throughout the day. "
"I have to buy some food and some vegetables tomorrow. "
Shi Zelan said again what he had to do the next day, and Shi Xiaoliu added: "Remember to buy a car of firewood." ”
But compared with these inconveniences, the three of them thought that nothing else was a problem.
The next day, the three of them went to the well to fetch water, deliberately lining up behind the neighbors. , the audience chatted for a while
The neighbors knew that Shi Xiaoliu and the others were traveling and renting here for a short period of time, so they were curious to inquire about their situation.
“Have you already passed the exam?”
Shi Xiaoliu and the other three shook their heads slowly: “We just like to travel and are not good at studying.”
Shi Xiaoliu Looking at the expressions on their neighbors' faces, the six or three people dared not say that they were scholars.
After hearing their words, the neighbors looked at the three of them and felt something was wrong.
"Are you the children of merchants?"
Shi Xiaoliu and the others shook their heads: "No.
No one in our family is in business."
"You are a wealthy family who like to play. "Children of Shi Xiaoliu and others thought about their neighbors' words carefully and felt that they made some sense. They all nodded silently.
Neighbors were curious about where Shi Xiaoliu and the others came from, so Shi Xiaoliu directly reported the place name of Shijiazhuang.
The neighbors looked at the three of them in confusion: "Where?
Why haven't we heard of this place name?"
Shi Xiaoliu said the big place name. , the neighbors all took a deep breath after hearing this.
"You three are really good at playing. How many years have you been away from home to us?"
"Five years."
Shi Xiaoliu thought for a while and finally came up with a safe number.
After Shi Xiaoliu and the others returned to the yard, Shi Zelan exhaled: "The most difficult level is over."
Xia Yu said with a smile: "Fortunately, Brother Xiaoliu was in the way. In front."
Shi Zelan nodded and said: "The next time I go out, I won't speak, I will just laugh."
The three of them quickly left the yard and bought a cart of firewood and some vegetables. Then smoke started to float above the kitchen.
In the afternoon, people from the government came to ask Shi Xiaoliu and the others about the nameless city.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others still told them the truth. Shi Zelan curiously asked the people in the government: "Will your government ask the inn owner and his family about the situation in Wuming City?"
Young officials He glanced at Shi Zelan, nodded and said, "Yes."
After the officials left, a neighbor stood outside the courtyard door and looked inside.
Shi Xiaoliu walked over and greeted the neighbors, so someone asked: "Children, did you cause trouble outside?"
Shi Xiaoliu smiled and shook his head: "We didn't commit any trouble. , we just passed through Wuming City, and the official came to ask us about the situation in Wuming City. "You have been to Wuming City. How was it burned?"
"What was burned?" Like?
We don’t know.
When we left, Wuming City was still fine. "
"Do you have any relatives in Wuming City? "No, we just passed through Wuming City while traveling and stayed at an inn." "
Shi Xiaoliu told his neighbors about his experience in Wuming City. After hearing this, they were shocked and said: "They were fighting on the street, and the government didn't care? "
"We didn't see anyone from the government, so we left quickly. ”
"That is, you stay with us a little longer.
Even if there are fights in our city, the government will come out to take care of them."
Three days later, Shi Xiaoliu It was quiet outside the courtyard door of the three people, and they could do their own things in the courtyard.
Shi Xiaoliu was reading the medicinal scriptures, Shi Zelan was drawing talismans, and Xia Yu was setting up formations in a corner of the yard.
Occasionally the three of them would get together and talk about the difficulties they encountered during cultivation.
Shi Xiaoliu was most concerned about the progress of Shi Zelan's cultivation. He knew that Shi Zelan's cultivation progress was slow, but there was no stagnation.
He was very pleased and said: "It's pretty good.
Sister Lan, it's pretty good."
Shi Zelan understood what he meant and said with a smile: "After I came out, I lost some of the heavy feeling on my body."
Xia Yu said with a smile: "In fact, the curse was also a good thing for Sister Lan later.
If Lan Jie'er's cultivation progress is slowed down, her foundation will be solidified. "
Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu curiously: "Did you progress too fast in your cultivation and were warned by your elders? "
Xia Yu nodded silently. After seeing him from the side, Shi Xiaoliu said enviously: "I don't have any trouble like Xia Yu. ”
In the evening, they meditated in their rooms.
They did not go out for several days, which made the neighbors a little worried.
When they went out to fetch water in the morning, a neighbor asked: "You haven't been out these days, do you have enough food to eat?"
Shi Xiaoliu nodded with a smile and said: "We will go out to buy food later. Come back.”
After the three of them went back, they decided to open the yard door during the day so that the neighbors could see what they were doing.
From this day on, when the yard door is opened, when neighbors pass by, they will see Shi Xiaoliu reading and Shi Zelan writing.
Xia Yu is cleaning the yard, and he also goes to the roof to repair the roof.
When the neighbors looked at Shi Xiaoliu and the others, their eyes became normal again.
More than ten days passed like this. On this day, Shi Xiaoliu and the others got up and decided to go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to the news.
In the evening, when they came out of the teahouse and walked near their yard, they found someone waiting outside the yard door.
Shi Xiaoliu and the others thought they were neighbors, so they didn’t take it to heart.
But when the three of them approached, they saw the waiter of Wumingcheng Inn at the entrance of the courtyard and the strange man in green robe beside him.
Shi Xiaoliu was surprised and said: "Xiao Er, are you here to look for relatives?"
The waiter in the store smiled bitterly: "Okay, sir."
I'm not here to find relatives, but to look for relatives. Please prove it, our two families..."
"Humph.
You said more."
After the man in green robe spoke up, the waiter smiled bitterly and said, "Then I won't say anything anymore. Sir, you can ask the three of them by yourself later."
Shi Xiaoliu opened the courtyard door and took the two of them out. Welcomed into the courtyard.
Shi Zelan went to the kitchen to light a fire, while Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu accompanied the guests in the yard.
The man in green robe revealed his identity. Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu glanced at the waiter and said, "Sir, what do you want to ask us?"
Shi Zelan brought the food from the kitchen. When the water came out, he said to the man in green robe and the waiter: "Now there is only cold boiled water."
