Pick up an abandoned child and overwhelm the world

Chapter 73 Master's Night Visit

This family's surname is Miao, which is a rare surname in the Central Plains. After chatting on the road after leaving, Cheng Ning knew that the ancestors of this family married a girl from a foreign land, and the customs in the foreign land are different from those in the Central Plains. No matter how many children the family raises , one of them had to take her mother's surname. It just so happened that two sons were raised in that generation, and their grandfather's surname was Miao, so it was passed down.

The people who came to pick up Cheng Ning included two young men, a young man and a middle-aged man, divided into two horses and a carriage!

Cheng Ning was naturally riding a carriage. To Cheng Ning's slight surprise, a young man was driving the carriage with Cheng Ning, but the middle-aged man was driving the carriage. At first, Cheng Ning guessed that the middle-aged man should be the driver. Only then did I realize that not only was it not, but the middle-aged man was actually the father of the young man who was sitting with Cheng Ning. It can be seen that they were really sincere this time, even though they did not hesitate to come to a place dozens of miles away to invite Mu Jinqian. What I saw was not Mu Jingan, but Mu Jingan's apprentice.

"I'm sorry, my master, for causing you trouble..." Seeing the young man's dissatisfied look, Cheng Ning said in apologetic embarrassment, and scolded that bastard master again in his heart!

"Priest Cheng, don't mind!" The young man named Miao Zishuo didn't mean to blame Cheng Ning, and hurriedly said, "It's just that I have some regrets. We have heard the name of Priest Mu for a long time, and we have always wanted him to help us. Look at the feng shui this time, so we sent him a post just after the third day of the Chinese New Year, and he replied to us saying that it is enough to pick him up today, so we came here, unexpectedly..."

"Wait!" Suddenly Cheng Ning's face changed slightly: "You just said...you sent a post to my master on the third day of the Lunar New Year?"

Miao Zishuo looked at Cheng Ning with a puzzled expression and nodded, "Yes, we sent someone to send a post to Priest Mu on the third day of the Lunar New Year, and then at night, Priest Mu asked someone to come back and say that it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month to pick him up." He's going to be fine, he'll be at home waiting for us to pick him up, what's wrong? Any questions?"

No problem, there is a big problem!

But Mu Jingan left on the first day of the Lunar New Year and went to "Luxing Town" far away. The Miao family sent someone to deliver the post on the third day of the Lunar New Year. A post from somewhere other than Suicheng, who did they... give the post to?

"May I ask, are you... the person who sent the post belongs to your family?" Cheng Ning asked with a frown.

"Oh, that's not true!" Miao Zishuo said, "Because we didn't know if people like us could hire Priest Mu, so we let a team come here with the mentality of giving it a try." "The caravan brought it for us, and then replied to us in the evening that there was no problem, so we came to pick him up today! Priest Cheng, what's wrong?"

"..." Cheng Ning finally understood now. If he guessed correctly, it must be that bastard master who somehow knew about this, so he cut the message halfway and replied, and his purpose—— Do you need to think too much about it?

Just being lazy, and dragging Cheng Ning into the water!

"Ahem..." Cheng Ning coughed in embarrassment, and he didn't dare to look at Miao Zishuo with a guilty conscience and said, "Well, I'm sorry, what... You also know that my master is more casual, and he probably forgot it temporarily. I... I don't know where he went, so, sorry, I can only take this trip instead of him..."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's because we were too rude!" Miao Zishuo is also a reasonable person. He didn't see Cheng Ning's embarrassment and guilt at all. Our own people are very rude, so our whole family came to pick him up, but I didn't expect... Hehe, Priest Mu is not at home, so we can't blame others. Besides, there is the only direct disciple of High Priest Mu We are also very grateful to Priest Cheng for taking this trip instead of him, and you can rest assured that the reward we promised will definitely not be less than you! There is also Priest Cheng!"

As he spoke, Miao Zishuo politely bowed to Cheng Ning.

It made Cheng Ning feel even more guilty. While he was busy returning the salute, he had to continue talking nonsense with his eyes open in embarrassment. Although Cheng Ning was never good at lying, but in this situation, how do you ask Cheng Ning to tell the truth?

People sent him a post sincerely, but he was lucky, he hijacked halfway and replied directly to them, and asked them to come to pick him up, but he didn't come back... Wait!

Suddenly, Cheng Ning suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that he misunderstood the master?In fact, when the master robbed this post, he was able to go there by himself on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, which means that he would definitely return home before the [-]th day of the first lunar month, but... did something unpredictable happen? This is why Mu Jingan has not returned to "Zhusui City" now. This is also because there is no news, and he has to preside over the ceremony instead of him?

In fact, I thought too much, maybe...he didn't forget it at all, and didn't want him to replace him, but...did something happen that he couldn't come back before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?

After this thought flashed in his mind, Cheng Ning's expression became more and more dignified. Although Mu Jingan was unreliable, very casual, and very lazy, but... Cheng Ning thought carefully, although he often Let yourself feel helpless and angry, but Mu Jingan paid no less attention to Cheng Ning than his master Wen Yuxuan, and even Cheng Ning felt that he cared more about everything about Cheng Ning. Sometimes he blocked the spirit who was following Cheng Ning, and when the yamen was looking for him, when Cheng Ning was disobedient and wanted to go to the city lord's mansion... Wasn't he protecting Cheng Ning in a frenzy and domineering way?

"So... did something really happen?" Cheng Ning became more and more worried in his heart.

"Priest Cheng, are you alright?" Miao Zishuo finally noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Ning's face, and asked worriedly, "Is it too boring? Shall we take a break, I see you His complexion is not very good!"

"No, it's okay!" Cheng Ning shook his head resolutely and said, but frowned at Miao Zishuo and said, "Let's go to "Luxing Town" quickly! So as not to delay your family's auspicious time!"

"Oh, that's fine, I'm sorry to trouble you!" Naturally, Miao Zishuo hurriedly agreed, and even opened the curtain and said to the people outside the carriage.

Cheng Ning didn't make a sound, of course he wouldn't say that there are other reasons why he wants to get to "Lu Xing Town" quickly.

Yes, he is going to find Mu Jinqian!

I haven't heard from him for more than half a month. Now that I'm gone, how can I not go to him?

……

But even though they were rushing all the way, it was already past noon when they arrived at "Luxing Town". I had to calculate another auspicious time non-stop, and then prepared together with the people of Miao’s family, and carefully practiced it. Looking at Feng Shui, I wrote all that should be written to them, and I did my best to do everything that should be done on the first day. Done.

By the time Cheng Ning finished his work, the sky had already darkened, and it was already night!

Because this ceremony is a bit complicated and needs to be busy for two or three days, Cheng Ning naturally didn't think about going back to "Zhu Sui City" today. Of course, it was dark, and there was no way to find Mu Jinqian!

In the end, Cheng Ning had no choice but to be entertained by Miao's family with his thoughts on his mind. After dinner, he was arranged in a guest room by Miao's family. Cheng Ning sighed and looked at the night outside the window, thinking that he could only find time to ask them tomorrow." Lu People from "Xingzhen" to see if anyone knows about Mu Jingan?

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Cheng Ning, who was thinking about turning off the lights and going to bed, was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. Cheng Ning, who was only wearing his underwear, hurriedly put on a coat, walked to the door and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be right here, wait a minute. Wait!" Having already reached the door, Cheng Ning opened the door without saying a word, and said at the same time, "Excuse me, what else can I do...Master???"

As soon as Cheng Ning's door was opened, he saw Mu Jingan, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month, was standing at the door, and he still hadn't let go of his knocking hand!

Shocked, Cheng Ning woke up instantly, opened the door more quickly in shock, and said in surprise: "Master? Why are you here? No, what have you been doing for the past half month? Also, why didn't you News? Do you know me..."

"Do you want to recruit the entire Miao family?" Before Cheng Ning could finish speaking, Mu Jinqian interrupted Cheng Ning's chattering in a low voice, looked at the left and right sides behind him guardedly, and said, "Go in and talk to me." !"

"Oh, oh, ok, ok!" Suddenly appearing in front of him in the middle of the night, there must be something important. Cheng Ning also realized that he was too reckless, and said in fear, stepped aside, and Mu Jinqian went straight Walking into the room quickly, Cheng Ning finally took a careful look outside, and hurriedly closed the door!

Miao's family is not a wealthy family, but in such a remote town, their family can be regarded as rich. It can be seen from the grand banquet that Cheng Ning received at night, so they were arranged in the main courtyard. The separate guest rooms on the side are also not bad, although they are not big, maybe their whole family is not as good as one of the courtyards in Mu's house, but it is also very good for ordinary people.

Mu Jingan sat at the table naturally, and when Cheng Ning closed the door and walked over to sit down, Mu Jingan had already poured down and was drinking tea, watching Cheng Ning take the lead before Cheng Ning opened his mouth Staring at Cheng Ning, he frowned displeasedly and said, "Aren't you a bit defensive?"

"Huh? What?" Cheng Ning was at a loss when he was reprimanded!

"..." Not seeing each other for half a month, Mu Jingan seemed to get angry more easily. Looking at Cheng Ning's natural and pure appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times in anger, and then he pointed in the direction of the door angrily and said, "Daddy!" In the middle of the night, you open the door as soon as someone knocks? You don’t even know who is standing outside the door, and you open the door without even asking. Do you think that there are no people in the northern border who call your attention? You How many times do I have to tell you to remember that you have to be on guard against anyone?"

"...I, I was wrong..." The long-lost master and apprentice reunited, and before they could say a few words, they were reprimanded for not being able to find the south, east, and north. Cheng Ning felt that this apprentice was no one, but after thinking about it carefully , Cheng Ning also felt that he was really wrong, and he never did this in Huangjiguan before, why did he gradually ignore many things after only half a year after arriving here?

"Don't let me know that you will make such mistakes in the future, you are like this..." Mu Jingan said angrily, but then suddenly stopped talking, watching Cheng Ning not continue for a while.

"What, what's wrong? Master?" Cheng Ning asked cautiously in doubt.

"It's nothing..." Mu Jingan avoided Cheng Ning's sight, and said in a low voice, lowering his eyebrows and continuing to drink tea!

The room was suddenly quiet and dignified. Cheng Ningxiu looked at Mu Jingan who seemed to be not quite right, and after thinking about it, he asked: "So...Master, why do you know I'm here? And what happened to you in the past half a month? No news?" While talking, he hurriedly said: "The people from the Miao family said that you sent someone to reply to the post they sent you in the third day of junior high school, so... Master, since you agreed, why did you ask me to send you a post?" Come here? Did you forget about the ceremonies of the Shangyuan Festival, or did you come back because of other wishes? Why did you come to me suddenly tonight? And Senior Xu? He..."

"Ziqian!" Mu Jingan suddenly interrupted Cheng Ning and looked up at Cheng Ning.

Those eyes were too complicated, and he was very uneasy in his complicated heart. He pursed his lips, and then Cheng Ning nodded and said, "Master?"

Mu Jingan didn't answer Cheng Ning's words immediately, but looked deeply at Cheng Ning, and after a while, he suddenly raised a smile and said: "You are right, I did have something to delay, so I had to let You handled a lot of things on my behalf, and I came to you today because I knew you would definitely come instead of me, so I came to you, as for what to do with you..." Said Looking at Mu Jin, he laughed dryly, propped his chin and said, "Is there any reason for a master to find his apprentice? Isn't this reason enough?"

"—" The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and Cheng Ning almost gritted his teeth and said, "So, you're just lazy, right?"

"Hahahaha..." Mu Jinqian laughed loudly, looked at the angry boy and said, "Did you just find out that I'm lazy today? Yes, I'm just lazy, so I plan to play more with Xu Xun here." Playing, this is why I deliberately robbed the invitation letter, deliberately asked you to come, and then come to play!"

Cheng Ning's brows were raised angrily, and it took a while before his brows twitched and he squeezed out a rebellious word that he would never say to Mu Jingan before: "Get lost!"
