Washing powder [Comprehensive martial arts]

This Junior Martial Brother Hou is Hao Datong's apprentice. He started late and is old. Three generations of disciples can basically call him Junior Brother. His aptitude is very poor, and he is not suitable for martial arts at all, so we had to arrange him to work in the kitchen.Ma Yu and the others valued his honesty, inarticulateness and tenacity, so they entrusted him with the daily errand of delivering meals to the back mountain.

The pears are sweet and sour, with an excellent taste, and Yu Man is intoxicated with his eyes closed.For more than a year, the Quanzhen Sect will send meals every seventh day, and at other times, it will put some fruit snacks in the niche from time to time. Yu Man has eaten apples, oranges, persimmons, and pears, but nothing. Today's delicious.

"This is a pear from Qianshan. You probably haven't eaten it before."

"Hmm..." Yu Man nodded, she hadn't eaten it, it turned out that it was the fruit from the previous mountain, "Who are you?"

The shadow reflected in the door moved, the corner of the blue clothes flashed past, and the Taoist priest bowed solemnly outside.

"I'm Yin Zhiping."

A mouthful of pears went down her throat without chewing, causing Yu Man to thump in her heart.

It stands to reason that she should return a gift, but her mind is green and full of grass.

You shouldn't discriminate against others, and you shouldn't use the eyes of a time traveler to presume guilt on a person who hasn't committed a crime yet... Yu Man said silently in her heart and kept admonishing herself.

But having said that, Yin Zhiping seems to be Qiu Chuji's apprentice, rounded up, he is her apprentice, haha... Yu Man struggled to twitch the corners of her mouth, taking pleasure in bitterness.

"Which one of the priests is your master?" Yu Man asked knowingly.

"My teacher is Qiu Chuji, a real person from Changchun. He lives in seclusion. Miss Long, you probably haven't seen him before."

Yu Man was startled, "Live in seclusion? Isn't he going back to Chongyang Palace?"

As far as she knew, in the original book, Qiu Chuji traveled all over the world all the year round and was not permanently stationed in Zhongnan Mountain, but to say that he lives in seclusion has a different meaning.

"Seldom come back."

"Oh, where does he live?" Yu Man crawled forward curiously, revealing half of her face from behind the door.

Her understanding of seclusion should be to live in a fixed place, could it be...

Yin Zhiping glanced at her in a panic, quickly buried his head, and said in a low voice: "Master, he is an old man who has been practicing in Huayi Mountain all year round."

The pear core was bitten off by Yu Man, his eyes froze, his focus gradually lost, and he was stunned.

Hua, Italy, mountain?What happened to Qiu Chuji squatting on Huayi Mountain at such an age?Could it be that there is also Bao Xiruo locked up with him here?Wait...did she spot a blind spot.

Yu Man shrank back, sat back, and asked casually, "Is he alone?"

"Well, Master doesn't like us serving in front of you."

Yu Man spat out the pear core that could not be chewed, and thought about it for a moment, then smiled silently.

Even if there was something, Yin Zhiping would not tell her.And she asked here and there, what did she want to know?The past life is far away, it's all gone.

....................

The life in the mountains is monotonous, and the diet is even more monotonous. Yu Man never forgot the flower-covered pears that Yin Zhiping sent that day.

She was afraid that the fruit would be gone after the season, and she would have to wait until next year to eat it, so she went to Qianshan to look for pears in the dead of night.

After searching for several nights, she finally found a pear tree with flowers and pears.

The fruit of this tree is very hidden. I don't know if most of it has been picked off by people, only some hanging from the tip of the top crown.Yu Man climbed up the tree, wrapped around her skirt, plucked all the pears, and was about to jump back to the ground when she suddenly felt someone coming towards her.

The full moon is in the sky, and the bright light is sprinkled on the mountains, like frost and snow.

Yu Man hugged a bag of pears, sat on the tree without making a sound, quietly waiting for the person to pass under the tree, but unexpectedly, the person stopped and looked up.

Looking at each other, both of them were shocked.

Yin Zhiping staggered and took a step back, "Long, Miss Long, you..."

The last time it was in the alcove, this time it was on the tree. Miss Long always appeared in unexpected places.

Yu Man was very embarrassed, she would rather have a chance encounter with anyone in Chongyang Palace than stare at this person in the middle of the night.

His eyes fell on Yu Man's pockets, which seemed to be some wild fruits and taro, Yin Zhiping showed compassion.It turned out that Miss Long was doing it for her livelihood, so it was really difficult for her.

Yu Man fell lightly and pointed to the branch.

Yin Zhiping's eyes lit up, "Are you here to pick the fruit?"

He usually wanders in the mountains in the dead of night, picks some good-looking fruits, or brings preserved fruit snacks bought during the day, and secretly puts them into the niche cage on the edge of the forbidden area in the back mountain.

"The last time we met, the pears I brought you were from this tree."

"There are not many such pear trees, and there is only one outside the palace."

The few trees in Chongyang Palace have been picked up long ago.He came this time to try his luck.

Only this one?Yu Man sneaked a glance at the tree.

This tree has already been bald by her, and the people who came after can only return it empty-handed.Yu Man lowered her head, passed through the gap of the gathered skirt, and looked at the harvested fruits.

She silently took out a pear, stepped forward, and handed it to Yin Zhiping.

Yin Zhiping froze for a moment before taking it stiffly.

For your master's sake...Yu Man silently took out another one and handed it to Yin Zhiping.

Yin Zhiping, with a pear in each hand, looked so stupid that he couldn't remember his soul, and he didn't know that Yu Man was passing by him.

Yin Zhiping's expression was intoxicated as he kept groping the surface of the pear with his fingertips.

Miss Long is so kind to him, I hope there will be a next time.

Yu Man put her head down and walked slowly towards the back of the mountain, as if there was a ghost chasing her behind her.

There must be no next time, when it gets dark, she will never step out of the ancient tomb.

Did God misunderstand her?She has no collecting habits, no special hobbies, she is really not interested in Taoist priests.

====================

It's the beginning of summer again.

The climate in the mountains is cool, Yu Man went out to bask in the sun, with a small basket on her arm, which contained flowers she picked at will.

On the way back, she heard crying faintly. She followed the sound and saw a dirty, mud monkey-like child sitting under a tree and crying sadly.

She hesitated for a moment, but walked forward, "Why are you crying?"

The child stopped crying, bowed his back and raised his face, staring blankly at Yu Man.

Yu Man waited for a while, and seeing that the child remained silent and had no other reaction, she stopped asking, turned around and was about to leave.

Realizing that Yu Man was leaving, the boy panicked, got up and chased after her, "Auntie, where are you going?"

After her footsteps faltered, Yu Man looked back at the child in surprise, "What did you call me?"

The boy was stunned, stretched out his hand to pay respects to Yu Man, and whispered, "Auntie, I haven't eaten for several days, can you..."

He didn't continue talking, but just looked at Yu Man pitifully, his eyes full of longing.

Yu Man didn't think much about it, and said lightly, "Rough tea and light food, if you don't mind, just come with me."

The boy followed behind step by step, muttering words, thank you very much, Yu Man saw that he was stumbling and walking unsteadily, so she deliberately slowed down, looked at the flowers for a while, looked at the grass for a while, and stopped and walked.

Arriving outside the ancient tomb, Yu Man first went to look at the cage, and there was only a bunch of flowers inside.

"You wait here, don't go forward." Yu Man told the boy.

"Oh." The boy nodded.

Yu Man was still a little worried, "If you go forward, bees will sting you and you will die."

The boy looked at Yu Man, sat down on the spot, and obediently replied: "Understood, aunt."

He has never been an obedient person, but he is willing to listen to the fairy-like aunt in front of him.

Yu Man went away for a while, and when she came back, she had a handkerchief in her hand, and inside it were four plain steamed buns that she made by herself and had completely cooled down.

The boy ate hungrily.

Yu Man didn't have the intention of waiting for him to finish eating, and she didn't even plan to take the handkerchief, so she said coldly, "Go after eating, don't come near here."

The boy's eyes were red, and with a mouthful of buns in his mouth, he said repeatedly: "Thank you, aunt, thank you for your kindness."

Yu Man heard his aunt and aunt's short, and found it interesting, so she asked casually, "What's your name?"

You preempted this aunt, I don't know what Yang Guo will call in the future, maybe... maybe without Yang Guo.

The boy swallowed the bun in his mouth, and wiped his eyes carelessly with the back of his hand.

"My name is Yang Guo."
