Dark clouds blocked the sun and it was raining.All the way to a remote place.Look around, there are no neighbors.

And the house is just two or three kittens, and they are all a little old. The most lush and new ones are probably the few trees and green bamboos in the yard.

I walked in and saw that the vermilion paint had peeled off, and the window frame was a bit damaged. When I pushed the door in, the door creaked.

The facilities inside are also a bit old, and the tables and chairs can see a lot of traces of time.But also because there are few things and it is very clean, so overall, although the house is a bit old, it is still tidy.

It's just that against the backdrop of the dark clouds and icy drizzle outside the window, the house at this moment is a bit too deserted.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the corner of the window frame.

【I think I'm a bit regretful that I came with you. You said I told Jiang Biehe that we should go to the inn, okay? 】

Where did Jiang Biehe get the courage to live in such a house and still invite them to visit?Whether these few houses are enough for them to live in is another matter!

No matter how much you pretend that you are living a poor life, you have to pay attention to the basic law, okay? !

The system beeps softly.

[This is unbearable, so I advise you not to look to the left. 】

left?

People are like this, the more others remind them not to do something, the more people want to do it.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought nonchalantly.

[It's not that I'm poor, there's nothing I can't bear. 】

Then she looked to the left curiously, and found that there was nothing.The corner of the stairs was dark, and she couldn't really see anything. At this moment, she saw something moving in the darkness, and the next moment, a pale and old face suddenly appeared in the darkness.

【Fuck! 】

Lin Xiaoxiao backed away abruptly, almost hitting the table with her lower back, but was supported by Ye Gucheng with quick eyesight and hands.

Ye Gucheng supported her with one hand, and subconsciously held the hilt of the sword with the other.

In the darkness at the corner of the stairs, that person's face moved, and then he walked out slowly with his whole body. It was a hunchbacked old man who limped along.

His eyes are cloudy, his eyes are dull and dull, his mouth is shriveled, and he doesn't know how many teeth are left. He floats slowly like a ghost, with a broom in his hand.

Lin Xiaoxiao calmed down her heartbeat, and spoke to the system with difficulty.

[You're right, I really can't bear this stuff. 】

Jiang Biehe apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't entertain Miss Lin well enough to scare Miss Lin. Don't worry, everyone. He is my old servant. When I found him, he was deaf and dumb, so I brought him back. He's on his own."

The amount of information in this passage is huge, and Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be moved by Jiang Biehe.

"As expected of a Jiangnan hero, he really has a chivalrous heart. It's just that this room has wronged Jiang Jiang too much?"

Jiang Biehe smiled lightly.

"This house was given to me by a friend of mine, and I have been used to it until now. What's more, there are tens of thousands of mansions, seven feet of sleep at night, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and only three meals a day. Why care about so many things outside of the body. "

Ye Guhong's eyes lit up.

"Well said, Hero Jiang is really a gentleman!"

Jiang Biehe smiled.

"After traveling for so long, everyone must be tired. Please go to the room to rest for a while. The meal will be ready soon."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to let Jiang Yulang lead the guests to the room to rest.

Walking through the veranda, they arrived at a small two-story building. This was probably the newest building in the entire small house. Of course, this new one was a comparison. , in fact, there is still nothing to say inside.

Because it was cloudy and rainy outside, and the lighting in the small building didn't seem to be very good, so it was very dark here. Jiang Yulang had already made preparations and brought an oil lamp.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked behind him, always feeling goosebumps on her neck from the cold wind.

[I really didn't expect that one day I would play haunted house adventure in the world of martial arts.Living like this with so much money, Jiang Biehe must be a bit perverted. 】

At this time, Jiang Yulang stepped on the stairs first with an oil lamp in hand, and the restless wooden planks of the stairs immediately creaked and protested.

And when Lin Xiaoxiao and others also went upstairs, there were creaking and creaking sounds one after another.

Lin Xiaoxiao: [Just now I thought this place was deserted and deserted, but I didn’t expect there to be a hidden secret, the stairs and the door would scream, so it’s quite lively? 】

The system suppressed a smile: [This piece of wood is probably older than you, so take it easy, don't trample on the stair boards that are going to be family heirlooms. 】

Lin Xiaoxiao: [Are you kidding, how could the little fairy step on the stairs and collapse?We fairies are weightless! 】

"Crack!"

A discordant voice suddenly came from the quiet and noisy stairs. Lin Xiaoxiao immediately subconsciously looked at her feet, and found that her feet were still stepping on the stairs well, and she was relieved.

Then she looked back, and with the faint light of Jiang Yulang's oil lamp, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Guhong's sunken foot and the hole in the stairs.

Ye Guhong's face was stiff, and he silently withdrew his feet.

Lin Xiaoxiao burst into laughter immediately.

"Haha, have you gained weight recently, and you have trampled on other people's stairs!"

The result was another click.Lin Xiaoxiao's laughter stopped abruptly, and she turned her head stiffly to look at her hands. Her hands were still so slender and beautiful, and the dark wooden armrests in her hands made her skin whiter and jade-like.It would be better if this small piece of handrail was not held in her hand, and there was no gap in the handrail of the stairs.

Ye Guhong: Puff~

Ye Gucheng also raised the corners of his mouth at the same moment, although the two brothers immediately stopped smiling and returned to their cold faces after meeting Lin Xiaoxiao's sad eyes, as if nothing had happened.But the uncontrollable smile in those eyes couldn't be more obvious.

There was a dead silence in the air, Lin Xiaoxiao put the piece of wood back with a sullen face.Then he looked at Jiang Yulang sincerely.

"Let me just ask, is this house really liveable?"

"I've lived here since I was a kid anyway."

Jiang Yulang continued to walk up with the lamp in hand, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

The innermost room was left to Lin Xiaoxiao. Fortunately, Jiang Biehe was pretending to be a real gentleman willing to suffer, not a down-and-out poor ghost. The stairs probably hadn't been repaired for a long time, but the room was still normal.

But Jiang Yulang's room is not here.It was in the farther side room, where the servants lived, but after it was given to Jiang Biehe, Jiang Biehe was only an old servant, so many rooms were vacant.

Jiang Yulang lived in the last room of that room.

Lin Xiaoxiao sat on the bed and raised her eyebrows.

"The house here is bad enough, and you chose a servant's room? Don't tell me you like this style as much as your father?"

Jiang Yulang put the oil lamp on her table.

"It's the farthest from my father's master bedroom. I can't sleep in the middle of the night, and I can easily slip out there."

Lin Xiaoxiao reached out and pressed the carved bed under her body. Although the facilities here are outdated, if you look closely, you can actually see that this place was quite luxurious. After all, no one would give Jiangnan heroes a small dilapidated house.

It's just time and lack of care that cause them to be covered with a layer of obsolete.

Pushing open the carved window, the drizzle came in with the wind and brushed against Lin Xiaoxiao's face. This small building is the tallest building in the whole house, so Lin Xiaoxiao can easily see the whole house through the window.

The front yard is where they came in. I have already seen it. The ordinary one is like a monotonous boiled water, which is boring. Looking to the right, there is a quite large back garden, but it has been deserted and overgrown with weeds.

Originally, the flowers in the garden were not pruned, and they grew casually and loosely.Even the trails are covered by those passionate foliage.Coupled with this overcast and rainy day, it is really a bit gloomy, and all living people are refused to visit.

"If he hadn't seen all this with his own eyes, who would have thought that this is the home of a Jiangnan hero? And after seeing all this, who can not praise, Jiang Biehe is a real gentleman?"

Jiang Yulang's eyes were full of disgust, and there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Xiaoxiao closed the window and shook her head.

"I don't think so. He built himself too perfectly without any flaws. This is the biggest failure. How many sages can there be in ancient times? How many people are truly perfect?"

After speaking, she patted Jiang Yulang's shoulder sympathetically.

"But speaking of it, you are still miserable. Your father may be sitting on mountains of gold and silver, but in the end he is not willing to spend a penny on you."

Jiang Biehe pursued spiritual satisfaction, so it was fine to treat himself harshly. After all, it was voluntary. He probably didn't think it was harsh treatment at all, but controlling his son like him, this is abuse.

Jiang Yulang patted her hand away in distaste, and suddenly the two of them fell silent because of the sound of footsteps in the corridor.Then there was a knock on the door.

Lin Xiaoxiao opened the door, and saw the old man standing outside holding a tray with teapots and cups on it.After the door opened, the old man walked in silently.

The hunchbacked old man was already short, holding a large tray, he became even shorter. He was still trembling when he walked, as if he was about to fall down any moment.

Lin Xiaoxiao was afraid that the old man would fall, so she hurriedly said.

"Is it tea? Shall I get it?"

But the old man ignored her, he didn't look like a living person, but like a created puppet, he only knew to do the set things rigidly.

Jiang Yulang said casually from the side.

"It's useless for you to talk to him, he can't hear you."

The old man set up the teapot and cups, and walked out silently.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched him go out and go downstairs. After the old man's back disappeared, Lin Xiaoxiao found that although the old man was staggering, his feet were actually stable and he would not fall.

Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"Who is he?"

"do not know."

Jiang Yulang poured two cups of tea.

"He was brought back by my father ten years ago. He was deaf and dumb when he was brought back. He was like a wandering ghost every day. He never communicated with others. Who knows where he came from."

It was rainy outside, and it was really cold. In addition, the house was probably in disrepair for a long time, and there was some air leakage. Lin Xiaoxiao walked over and took a sip of hot tea that had been poured.Then he smiled.

"Is this tea good?"

"After all, he has been running a good business for so many years. If someone brought you a good tea or something, how can he not treat guests properly? Does it mean that he, a Jiangnan hero, has a generous personality and is very popular?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao took another sip of hot tea and looked at it funny.

"I found that you seem to have a lot of complaints when you go home."

"It's not a complaint, it's disgust."

Jiang Yulang sniffed the fragrance of the tea, but refused to drink it, and said indifferently.

"I've hated this place for over ten years. Coming back after a year, the loathing has doubled."

After he finished speaking, he looked sideways at Lin Xiaoxiao who was drinking tea, and spoke harshly.

"Now it's Jiang Biehe's domain, why don't you be vigilant at all about the entrance?"

"You have to trust your father, he's not that stupid. Ye Gucheng is here, he might have to think carefully before making a move."

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a while.

On the second day, at the dining table, Jiang Biehe looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and the others with a smile.

"I'm usually very boring, and my hospitality is not good. Please forgive me. It just so happens that I have some friendship with Taoist Mu. He is around here today. I don't know if City Lord Ye, Mr. Ye, and Miss Lin are interested in meeting him." I saw you last time, if you are interested, I will be an introduction for you."

"But that Mu Taoist who is number one in Go, second in poetry and wine, and third in swordsmanship?"

Ye Guhong's eyes suddenly lit up.Although Ximen Fuxue is the one he admires the most, it doesn't mean that he doesn't admire the other Kendo seniors.

Mu Daoren is an elder of the Wudang School, a half-step master, and his Wudang Liangyi swordsmanship is amazing.He is one of the most famous swordsmen in the world.

Such a swordsman, just so-called himself, "Go first, poetry and wine second, and swordsmanship third." Playing in the world every day, he is so chic that people can't help but yearn for it.

Ye Gucheng raised his eyes, seeming to be interested.He nodded slightly.

"Thank you."

"City Master Ye is polite."

Jiang Biehe smiled.

"Mu Taoist is at Gusong Residence at the moment, and I heard that there are two Zen masters, Master Xuanci and Master Kugua."

"It's about swords again."

Lin Xiaoxiao said quickly.

"Then I won't join in the excitement. Whether it's the way of swordsmanship or the way of Zen, it's not what I want."

When she said this, it seemed that there were two big words bored written on her face.

But this is also understandable. I am neither a swordsman nor a nun. I am afraid that most young, beautiful and lively girls will not like this kind of boring discussion. It is very likely that they will not understand a sentence after sitting there for a day. It's boring.

Ye Gucheng looked at her hesitantly.

"That……"

Compared with his hesitation, Lin Xiaoxiao waved his hands very chicly.

"I heard from Jiang Yulang that the boiled chicken in a restaurant is very good recently. I want to try it. If you want to talk about it, you can talk about it. The water town in the south of the Yangtze River has beautiful mountains and rivers, as well as good wine and food. I can do it alone. Have fun."

Jiang Biehe laughed.

"As the host, how can I let Miss Lin be alone, and please be sure to let Yulang accompany me. He grew up here since he was a child, so he still has some understanding of these things."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled happily.

"Haha, then I would like to thank Hero Jiang first."

Ye Gucheng felt relieved when he heard the words, nodded, and agreed to the decision.

Jiang Biehe's smile deepened slightly, and he thought with satisfaction in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the little girl retreated in spite of the difficulties, which saved him trouble.

What he didn't know was that Lin Xiaoxiao was smiling lively. In fact, her hand was under the table at the moment, pinching Ye Gucheng's little finger restlessly.When Ye Gucheng looked at her, she immediately winked at Ye Gucheng in the posture of drinking water.

here you go!

Ye Gucheng's expression softened for a moment, and when Lin Xiaoxiao turned his head, he lowered his eyes slightly, and the little finger of his right hand trembled uncontrollably.

An hour later, watching Ye Gucheng and the others go away, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled at Jiang Yulang.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see the scenery of Jiangnan."

Jiang Yulang really didn't think there was any joy in being tricked by his father, so he stepped forward to lead the way.

"Let's go, didn't you say you want to eat boiled chicken?"

It just rained yesterday, and the air is very humid today.

It is indeed a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a small river not far from the door. There is a narrow stone bridge on it. The stone bridge should be some years old. There are some green moss on the bridge piers, and unknown wild flowers even bloom between the stone cracks. .

The gentle woman came out holding the tub, which contained clothes to be washed. The river water was crystal clear, and small fish and shrimps were swimming in the water. When the laundryman was disturbed, she swung her tail and avoided it.

There is a big willow tree by the lake. The green willow branches are blown by the wind, and some of them grow long, making ripples on the water. A few children are playing with a yellow dog under the tree.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stop for a moment, only feeling that there was a touch of tranquility and peace in the air.I thought to myself, rural life is actually not bad.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and suddenly smelled a mysterious smell.

Immediately she heard Wu Nong's soft words.

"Mom, my brother is in the middle again!"

A woman walks past cursing.

"How grown-up are you? You still want to get a wife just like you are, just like you. You can live with Rhubarb in the future. Anyway, it likes you the most!"

Then came the cry of a child.

Lin Xiaoxiao: ...

Seeing that the woman poured some river water to clean up her child's butt, Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her head, and the river under the bridge was still crystal clear.

But her mood at the moment is completely different from before.

Lin Xiaoxiao quickened her pace with a sullen face, and followed Jiang Yulang in front.

Seeing her standing still for so long, Jiang Yulang asked a casual question.

"Why, do you like this kind of life?"

Lin Xiaoxiao's face suddenly became stinky, and she spoke firmly.

"I don't like it. This kind of overly warm scene is not suitable for me. A woman like me is destined to lick blood on the knife edge."

Jiang Yulang's eyes were full of doubts, what's the matter if he didn't understand her very well, but when he saw someone from the corner of his eye, he immediately forgot the question, and said with a cute smile.

"Sister, we're almost there. It's just a few steps after crossing this street."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yulang walked a little further, and when they reached the intersection, suddenly, a person rushed over here.

It was a pretty and lovely girl with a soft and lovable temperament. I don't know who she offended, and was chased by several men.

The girl was like a sensitive and innocent deer, she ran fast and escaped from the man's grasp several times.She was crying weakly for help.

But the people on the street are all ordinary people, how dare they fight against a group of Lianjiazi strong men, let alone even if they do, they can't beat them.

Many people took a step back subconsciously, so as not to affect themselves.

At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yulang stood out on the street. Lin Xiaoxiao looked around.Pulling Jiang Yulang back decisively two steps, blending into the crowd.

The man behind the scenes: ? ? ?

girl: ? ? ?

What about being chivalrous and courageous, and drawing swords to help?Your martial arts are so high, why are you retreating?

Jiang Yulang was also asking this question.He even stared at Lin Xiaoxiao secretly, signaling her to follow the plan quickly and stop playing.

Lin Xiaoxiao blinked.

"I'm here to help you. Since ancient times, so much love has come from heroes saving beauties. Now is the best time for you to seize love. As long as you save that girl, hold her for a while, and then kill those guys gracefully." , isn't this love coming?"

As soon as Jiang Yulang heard this, he knew that this guy's playful spirit was up again, and he said something to keep him from accidents and listen to her in everything, but in the end, this guy insisted on creating accidents even if there were no accidents at all!

Jiang Yulang secretly scolded Lin Xiaoxiao for being unreliable, but the others didn't know it. When the common people nearby heard it, they looked at the two of them suddenly with something more in their eyes.

Is this how the love of people in the rivers and lakes comes from?

A big man next to him who was not planning to save someone changed his mind immediately when he heard that there was such a good thing.He hastily roared.

"Girl, I'm here to save you, you bastards, with me here, don't hurt this girl!"

As he spoke, he squeezed his fists the size of sandbags and rushed forward.

Then... was beaten up by a group of strong men, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect that someone would actually go up, she looked at the big man who passed out by the roadside, and hesitated for a while.

"It seems that pursuing love still requires a little strength. Otherwise, you can stay single for the time being, little brother."

Seeing that she was about to be dragged away by the strong men, the girl was really desperate. How could there be such a person? Isn't she miserable and pitiful?

"Stop! In broad daylight, the sky is bright, you are so violently robbing the women of the people, there is no law!"

Lin Xiaoxiao flew out angrily.

"I've been watching it for so long, I really can't stand it anymore!"

Brawny Man & Girl: You also know that you have been watching it for so long!

A burly man roared angrily. "Who are you to meddle in our business!"

"Heh, I'm just an unknown person, not worth mentioning, but the identity of the person behind me scares you to death, believe it or not?"

Lin Xiaoxiao pulled Jiang Yulang out, patted his thin pectoralis major, and said seriously.

"Hero Jiangnan, have you heard of Jiang Biehe? This is Hero Jiang's only son. He dares to fight against us. Believe it or not, Hero Jiang will blow your heads off!"

Jiang Yulang stood on the side with a wooden face: Are you enough?

The peeping person behind the scenes: ... Coincidentally, they are from Jiang Biehe.

However, the brawny men and the girls obviously didn't know about it. Although Jiang Biehe's reputation made the brawny guys a little bit afraid, they still had professional ethics.

"What about Jiangbiehe, Jiangbieniao? It's just that the people of Jianghu flatter him, and he's about to go to heaven?"

"It's only natural to pay back the debt. This woman owes us money and still avoids us? Don't say it's Jiang Biehe's son, even if Jiang Biehe came in person, she still wants to pay back the money!"

"What's wrong with the Jiangnan hero, the Jiangnan hero can be biased at will?! If he really wants to be like this, he is a fart Jiangnan hero!"

"I don't allow you to insult Jiang Hero like this!"

Lin Xiaoxiao said angrily.

"Hero Jiang is a hundred times stronger than you scumbags, not only in martial arts, but also in appearance and character, and you can add up to 1 of you. He is a real gentleman. You'd better leave quickly, lest he come and kill all of you!"

The brawny men immediately became annoyed when they pointed their noses at them and scolded them.

"An honest gentleman? Heh, I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen a real honest gentleman. There are no honest gentlemen in this world, but there are many hypocrites!"

"If you want me to say, Jiang Biehe is only doing a good job on the surface, so he tricked you into praising him!"

"That's right! He's a hypocrite, you girl doesn't know right from wrong, good from bad, and treats shit like gold!"

The brawny men were talking all over the place, scolding them in full swing, but Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't scold them with one mouth, and suddenly she could only be incompetent and furious.

"Ahhh, you are not allowed to scold!"

Brawny men: We will scold!

However actually.

【Haha, Modo, Modo!Talents are everywhere in Jianghu, I scolded my heart, scolded my anger, why is this guy so talented when he treats shit like gold?Write it down, write it down! 】

Jiang Yulang: As long as you are happy. :)
