After a while, Yuan Shuangqing still went to sleep. Changxi didn't need to sleep, so she was naturally incomparable, but before going to bed, she still vaguely told Changxi not to tell her master.

Changxi saw that she was really cute when she was about to sleep, so she patted her, trying to coax her a few words, and when Yuan Shuangqing fell into a deep sleep, she lifted a corner of the quilt and got out of bed, turned into a transparent state, and passed through the wall. Passed over and went to Zhang Zizhong's room next door.

The next morning, when Yuan Shuangqing woke up, she felt refreshed and in a good mood, but when her thighs rubbed against each other, her heart ached because of the pain.

The ointment Ah Bai applied to her yesterday was on the table. Yuan Shuangqing held it in her hand and looked at it again and again, wondering where Ah Bai got the ointment.

There are no pharmacies within a radius of ten miles. Could it be that she didn't show up immediately last night because she was busy looking for medicine?

Yuan Shuangqing's heart warmed slightly, she smiled and put the ointment away, then knocked on Zhang Zizhong's door as usual, the two of them went downstairs together, but there was no one downstairs, the lantern was still hanging on the counter, and the candlelight inside It hasn't gone out yet.

Yuan Shuangqing was stunned for a long time, then turned her eyes to Zhang Zizhong, and the two looked at each other silently, Yuan Shuangqing immediately sensed something unusual.

The store owner has disappeared since they paid the money and went upstairs at night, which is too strange.

"Why did you scream yesterday?" Zhang Zizhong asked suddenly.

Yuan Shuangqing recounted the encounter with the erotic ghost last night, causing Zhang Zizhong to keep blaming himself for being negligent, but he didn't realize it.

Yuan Shuangqing never blamed him at all, she shook her head to tell him not to think too much, after all nothing happened to her.

Zhang Zizhong walked around the lobby, muttering to himself: "It shouldn't be, the place where ghosts come and go is very dark, why didn't I find it yesterday."

Later, his eyes were attracted by the lantern above the counter. He took it apart and took a look to realize that the lamp inside was a kind of colorless and odorless Buddhist incense, but this ghost actually hung the lantern in the most obvious place. It is to grasp the mentality of people.

"I was careless." Zhang Zizhong sighed.

Yuan Shuangqing had no choice but to comfort: "You can learn from it and gain wisdom. I'm fine."

Yuan Shuangqing wanted to find something to eat, but she didn't go into the kitchen. She stood at the door and looked in. It was deserted, and there was no smoke.

She took a look and left without daring to look at the ground. After all, that ghost disappeared on the ground yesterday.

Yuan Shuangqing really has some shadows about this kitchen.

Yuan Shuangqing felt an inexplicable fear of this station, especially after the lights were extinguished by Zhang Zizhong, the cold air seemed to come slowly from all directions, permeating every place silently.

"There is more than one ghost in this place," Zhang Zizhong said to Yuan Shuangqing, "I can't come out because there are more powerful ghosts present than them."

As he spoke, he glanced vaguely at Yuan Shuangqing's neck.

Subconsciously following his gaze, Yuan Shuangqing touched the red line on her neck, immediately understood what Zhang Zizhong meant, and smiled with her lips pursed.

"Let's go."

Zhang Zizhong went out to lead the horse with his burden on his back. Yuan Shuangqing didn't dare to stay in the inn alone, so she went out with her.

The two walked to the stable behind the inn. Yuan Shuangqing touched the head of his big brown horse, untied the rope and pulled it out. Just as he was about to get on the horse, he heard Zhang Zizhong shouting from behind: "Don't ride! A horse will do, let the horse go."

Yuan Shuangqing was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Let it go? Where will it go?"

Zhang Zizhong smiled and said: "You loosen the rope and let it go. The world is vast, and it has its own place to go."

Yuan Shuangqing glanced at him helplessly, and the old man began to look like an outsider again. She was reluctant to let go, and wanted to ask why she let the horse go, but she seemed to understand a little bit in a blink of an eye, and she suddenly felt a little bit confused. Embarrassed.

Sure enough, Ah Bai still said it, but I don't know how far he said it...

Yuan Shuangqing let go of the reins, patted the horse's belly, and the horse trot away happily, not feeling attached to its little master who had been hunchbacked for a few days. Yuan Shuangqing was still a little sad about parting, but now there was nothing, and her face was expressionless. He walked to Zhang Zizhong's side.

"Get on the horse," Zhang Zizhong added while holding the rope, "Sit sideways..."

He didn't want to say too much, anyway, as long as the little apprentice can understand.

Yuan Shuangqing bit her lip and climbed onto the horse's back, sitting with her legs together. Zhang Zizhong turned over and surrounded her. Suddenly, he felt that something was blocking his arms, so that he couldn't even touch the corner of Yuan Shuangqing's clothes.

Zhang Zizhong's awkward posture like hugging a big fat man did not attract Yuan Shuangqing's attention, his whole body was half a foot away from her, and he was very speechless while holding the rein.

"You woman!" He yelled at Yuan Shuangqing, with a dark face, feeling very absurd.What's the meaning?Do you think he will plot against his apprentice?What do you think of him.

Yuan Shuangqing was confused by his yelling, and shrank her neck, thinking that she had made some mistake to offend Master: "Master?"

It was rare for Zhang Zizhong to show impatience towards Yuan Shuangqing, and he suppressed his anger and said, "I didn't talk about you, but the kid beside you."

He drove the horse and lightly pinched the horse's belly, and let it walk forward slowly, when he heard Yuan Shuangqing say something that made him almost vomit blood:

"She's not a kid, she's older than you."

The advocacy is evident in the tone.

"..."

...Well, even if the oni is a woman, it is a sad thing for the apprentice to be more important than anyone else.

The two of them rode, and the speed of the horses dropped significantly. When the sun was shining, they gradually approached a village surrounded by mountains.

Yuan Shuangqing was already hungry, and she was even more hungry when she saw the crowds. As soon as she entered the village, she could almost smell the food from every family.

Zhang Zizhong clamped the horse's belly tightly, and the horse wobbled to a stop.

Zhang Zizhong said happily: "Girl, we are here."

Yuan Shuangqing jumped off the horse, and saw several people gathered around. There were women holding their children, and there were also strong or thin men with warm smiles on their faces.

"Master Zhang, you are back."

Seeing that they were also very gentle, Zhang Zizhong nodded with a smile and said, "Come to live in the village for two days. Lao Ge, is your son recovering?"

The man who was called came out and said respectfully: "It's not healed yet, but it's coming soon. It's really thanks to the medicine brought by the heavenly master. Our family is very grateful to you."

Zhang Zizhong said with a smile: "You don't need to say these compliments, your son deserves to die."

A mother-in-law squeezed in and said with a smile on her face, "Haven't Tianshi eaten yet? Come to my house to eat some. Although it's simple, it's better to be clean. You know I love cleanliness the most."

Someone laughed and scolded: "Come to make friends again. The heavenly master hasn't said a few words to you. How can I know your virtues?"

The people around laughed coaxingly, and the mother-in-law also looked unhappy.

Yuan Shuangqing had never experienced such a friendly and lively atmosphere. She looked at it and smiled unconsciously, until Zhang Zizhong asked her to go to the villagers' homes for dinner, and then introduced Yuan Shuangqing to them while walking: "This is my little apprentice, is it?" My only heir."

Those villagers hesitated for a moment, and then began to congratulate Zhang Zizhong for accepting a good apprentice, and they were full of praise, which made Yuan Shuangqing feel a little embarrassed, and smiled politely at them from behind Zhang Zizhong.

After eating at the villager's house, the two left the village and walked east again for three miles. The road gradually became narrower and narrower. When they looked down inadvertently, they realized that the two of them had already reached the mountainside.

No longer riding a horse, Zhang Zizhong walked ahead holding the rope, Yuan Shuangqing moved up slowly behind, panting: "Master, this... is this Huqi Mountain?"

"Cross this mountain and you'll be there."

"Ah?!" Yuan Shuangqing exclaimed.

Zhang Zizhong glared at her: "What are you talking about, hurry up, or it won't be good when it gets dark."

In fact, it is fine to continue riding the horse, but he intentionally asked Yuan Shuangqing to walk more on the mountain road. This girl's physical strength is too weak, and she needs more experience, so she can't bear it.

"From now on, you will come here to fetch two buckets of water every day."

When passing by a deserted well, Zhang Zizhong said.

"Ah?" There was another pitiful exclamation: "Is it too late for me to change my master?"

"Hmph, if you dare to escape, I'll arrest you and send you back to Yuan's Mansion," Zhang Zizhong saw Yuan Shuangqing's smiling child, and laughed himself: "Are you afraid of ghosts? There are no shortage of ghosts in this mountain. You If you don't become my apprentice, I will throw you here."

Yuan Shuangqing blinked, and asked innocently: "Are the ghosts here as powerful as Ah Bai?"

"..."

Zhang Zizhong is dead.

...she's really not as good as her.

After turning over the mountain, it was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the mountain forest, coating the green plants with a layer of light gold.Birds come from afar, return to their nests in the forest, and make intermittent chirping sounds.

Standing on the big rock at the highest point of the mountain, Yuan Shuangqing gazed into the distance, his face was bathed in the setting sun, and the fine hairs on his face became extremely clear.

"Master, I seem to have seen it."

"That's right." Zhang Zizhong felt relaxed physically and mentally. This was his most private residence. It took unimaginable energy to choose this place and build it.

Holding the rein, he laughed and said, "Girl, we're home."

Just a few words made Yuan Shuangqing's nose sore, tears welled up in her eyes for no reason, and she couldn't control her emotion.

She thought, this is really a bit embarrassing, but fortunately, Master Bao didn't notice and didn't look back, otherwise wouldn't it be embarrassing again.

Zhang Zizhong's back was facing her, his shoulders were a little stooped, but they were very broad, and there was a black and white gossip pattern printed on the robe behind him.

This back figure seems to have built a wall for her to shelter from the wind and rain, it looks so warm.

Yuan Shuangqing touched the moist corners of her eyes, both happy and in a daze.

Can she really have a home?A family with a master and a Bai.

so good.
