lanterns illuminate rivers and mountains

When Ye Zhen woke up the next day, his whole body was aching, and he vaguely felt that he had a dream, in which he was severely beaten.

He yawned sleepily, and just sat up when he was suddenly frightened by the magnified face in front of him and screamed: "Ahhhhhh! Who!!"

Primary school student Ye Shisan hugged the quilt and huddled to the corner of the bed. Two juicy Miao girls smiled and sat on the bed, stretching out their hands to pinch his pale face.

Ye Zhen screamed: "Ah, don't come here! Don't come here, I'm warning you! You can't pinch a man's face! I'm going to resist, I'm going to resist!"

Miao girl: "#￥%&^%%*&%￥..."

Ye Zhen jumped out of bed in a hurry: "Okay, I was wrong! I apologize to you! Don't play tricks on me, I'm still young. I don't want to die so early..."

Unexpectedly, the two Miao girls were quick and quick, and they picked up the classmate Ye Shisan who was delicate and weak and easy to push down, and directly pushed him down on the bed to pick up his clothes.

Ye Zhen was horrified——the speed of the two of them's hands was so fast that they couldn't even dodge themselves. Zhen Nima is a person who can't be judged by his appearance!At the moment, he didn't dare to tear it with his hands or bite with his teeth, so he could only wave his paws in vain, and yelled: "Don't take off your underwear—! At least leave a vest!! Mom, Mom——! Someone is going to take off your son's clothes! "

Miao girl: "￥@￥%...＄#^&%^＄..."

"What is it called early in the morning?" Long Jiwei finally turned in from the door, leaning lazily on the door frame: "What's the big deal, stripping naked is healthier."

"Mom, you really don't love me anymore, do you——!" Ye Shisan burst into tears, stripped naked by the beauties and sisters, clutching his key parts and trembling, like a chicken about to be cooked.

The beauties and sisters covered their mouths and laughed while talking about birdsong, pointing at Ye Zhen's figure, and turned around when they had laughed enough, and threw him a set of snow-white exercise clothes on the hanger.

"This is a magical horse?!" Ye Zhen was overjoyed, and immediately pulled the covering up his upper body, and finally confirmed that he did not have any key parts exposed, and then heaved a long sigh of relief: "Phew... no one took pictures just now, right? , don’t post it on the Internet.”

Miao Nu: "..."

Long Jiwei: "..."

Long Jiwei finally ordered a few words to Miao Nu, and the two beautiful sisters pursed their lips and smiled, bowed and ran away in small steps.

"Have you got your clothes on? Hurry up and leave when you're done, I'll send you to apprenticeship today."

Ye Zhen put on complicated ties one by one, wearing a snow-white jacket and trousers, his skin was pink and his eyes were bright, as if he was a little smaller than usual, "—apprenticeship? Yesterday I thought you were Just kidding."

"I'm not joking. The Miao people have a lot of unique knowledge, which has been passed down from generation to generation since ancient times, and has never been passed down to the Central Plains."

"Extremely learned?...Do you want to play a Gu? Do I want to learn how to raise poisonous insects?"

Long Jiwei squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time before he said slowly: "Student Ye Shisan, only women use voodoo, and Miao men basically don't use voodoo, if you are willing to chop off a certain part at once with a kitchen knife... "

Ye Zhen immediately reflexively covered his crotch.

"...Even if you chop it off, no one will teach you Gu skills. Are you kidding me, did I send you all the way here to change your sex?"

The morning sun in Miao Village was bright and the air was so fresh that it was intoxicating. Ye Zhen ate a glutinous rice cake while stumbling to keep up with Long Jiwei, his footsteps pattering on the bluestone road.

The courtyard they visited yesterday was bathed in the morning light, and the eaves and steps were shimmering with light, making them more crystal clear.Bypassing the main building, there are two tall stilted buildings on the side, and stone mills, flower pots and other sundries are piled downstairs.Long Jiwei climbed up to the building on the left, and Ye Zhen followed behind him. His vision suddenly widened, and he saw that the hall on the second floor was even more spacious than he imagined.

This must be an important place in the Miao Village. The entrance is a shadow wall. The main hall is covered with smooth and shiny solid wood. The doors on both sides of the wall are opened, allowing sunlight and breeze to pour in.There are three floors of steps in front of the hall, a bit like the alchemy of His Royal Highness, except that it is not red, but black and shiny, like jade.

The first seat in front of the hall was as tall as half a person, and on it sat the old man I met yesterday; the seats on both sides were lined up, and a group of Miao family children stood around, all of them were strong and handsome, tall and straight like pine trees.

Long Jiwei pointed at the old man, and whispered to Ye Zhen, "His name is Bao Weng. You can't pronounce Miao's name, so you will call him Master from now on."

Pointing to the surrounding people, he said, "These will be your brothers from now on."

After all, Ye Zhen was a child of that era, and he understood the etiquette procedures. Immediately, Ma Liu knelt down and kowtowed, calling: "Master!"

Bao Weng originally had an ugly face, but Long Jiwei's face prevented him from having it.But when Ye Zhen knelt down and kowtowed so cleanly, his expression eased up a bit, and he beckoned the female disciple who was standing beside him to ask a few words.

The female apprentice was the pretty Miao girl who changed Ye Zhen's clothes in the morning, and she answered a few words with a smile, which made everyone in the hall smile.

Long Jiwei said indifferently: "He asked how your bones are, and your senior sister said it was good, and also said that you were born with the same blood as the governor and the governor, and you are a genius in martial arts."

Ye Zhen didn't dare to look up, and pressed his voice through his teeth and asked: "Then they are laughing like crazy?!"

"Oh, she also said that you are very handsome, like a girl."

Ye Zhen: "..."

Bao Weng coughed, got up and called Jing Cha in Miao language.Immediately someone brought a bowl of green tea soup from the side, Ye Zhen raised his hand to take it, took a few steps on his knees, came to the bottom of the steps and raised his arms high, and said earnestly: "I will serve tea to the master."

Bao Weng didn't take the teacup right away, but heard a hoarse and rough voice coming from the head seat, saying: "Ye Shisan."

Ye Zhen bowed his head and answered yes.

"Why do you practice martial arts, why do you worship under my sect?"

Ye Zhen did not raise his head, but stared at the steps below his knees, and said word by word: "I am originally from the Ye family in Lushun, Liaodong. Land, kill my elders, humiliate my people, slaughter my [-] souls in three days and three nights, and burn down my thousand-year-old city. There is no way to repay the blood debt. Please master complete."

After speaking, he raised his arms high and did not move, leaned down and kowtowed deeply.

"..." Bao Weng's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a while, before he said: "Then from now on, you must practice martial arts well, and you must not be lazy and play tricks, you know?"

Ye Zhen lowered his head and said, "I know."

Bao Weng nodded, took the tea bowl and drank it down in one gulp.

Long Jiwei folded his arms and watched. It wasn't until Ye Zhen got up from the ground that he patted the boy on the head and said, "I'm leaving."

Who knew that just as he said this, before Ye Zhen had time to react, the group of Miao children around them all showed panic, and they knelt down on the ground with lightning speed—the vigor was almost like cooking dumplings. Like!

Ye Zhen: "...Mom, don't you want me?"

Long Jiwei said angrily: "Are you kidding me? I'm not an accompanying parent! Do you know how much it took me to send you all the way? Three of my subordinates are still feeding mosquitoes outside the canyon and waiting for me. The office struggle can't be left for a day, and your Uncle Yu's skin has been a little itchy recently..."

Ye Zhen said: "Mom, don't bully Uncle all the time. See how he has been bullied by you. And when will you come to pick me up? Before Chinese New Year?"

"I'll try my best. You have to study hard, listen to the master, don't be lazy, you know? If I knew it earlier, I would have brought the chemistry book with Uncle Chu Ci, and now it will be a waste of a year..."

Ye Zhen said angrily: "Mom, you better go!"

The bluestone road in front of the courtyard was sunny, and a group of Miao children respectfully sent Long Jiwei to the door, and they almost knelt down to tear off their clothes and cry about parting.Long Jiwei looked very calm, and finally glanced at the familiar bluestone roads and stilted buildings around him, touched Ye Zhen's head, and said, "Be obedient, ah."

Ye Zhen nodded and said, "Come and pick me up early."

Long Jiwei turned his head and looked past the crowd, only to see Bao Weng standing in the shadow of the stilted building, hunched over, unable to see his face clearly.

He couldn't help but sigh slightly.When he left Miao Village, he was young and full of vigor, and Bao Weng was still a baby boy who couldn't even carry an axe; decades passed in a flash, and he was still strong and in the prime of his life, but the child back then is now dead. Getting old.

He waved his hand to Bao Weng as farewell, Bao Weng hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand again, with indescribable heaviness in his movements.

The gate of the Miao village is open, and the clouds and waterfalls flow in the valley, and the water vapor is hazy.

The way down the mountain is always faster than the way up. The Miao people respectfully asked Long Jiwei to get on the sedan chair, but he politely declined.

He walked down the mountain road alone, and before he could eat a meal, he saw tents pitched at the foot of the mountain, and vaguely saw a figure standing at the end of the mountain road.

——That turned out to be Kurosawagawa.

Long Jiwei didn't look sideways, and when he walked over, he said lightly: "What do you want to tell Ye Shisan? You can say it now."

Kurosawa asked in a hoarse voice: "I saw a report in an old newspaper, during the Sino-Japanese War, Lushunkou in [-]..."

Long Jiwei interrupted him and said, "That's right."

Kurosawa stood there, motionless like a stone sculpture.Long Jiwei turned his head, frowned and asked, "You want to break into the village and be shot into a hedgehog by the Miao people?"

"...No, I will send my subordinates back home today."

"how about you?"

"I'll stay here." Hei Ze closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Let's take a step and see."

Long Jiwei smiled slightly, turned around and walked down the mountain.Hei Ze watched him leave, and he said without turning his head: "I'm afraid that if you take one step down, you will be crushed to pieces and lost forever. How can there be a way for you to go?"

A few Japanese stood by the tent, with their hands in their arms, but no one dared to act rashly. They could only watch Long Jiwei pass by, and soon disappeared in the mist of the mountain waterfall. middle.

The author has something to say:

Kuisawa must confirm this matter with Ye Zhen, because he doesn't know what the enmity between Ye Zhen and the Shandi family is. If it's just a general enmity, he thinks he can mediate it; It's not so easy anymore, Kurosawa knows that Ye Zhen will never let go, and only one of the Shandi family and Ye Zhen will survive.

So our small attack is heavy, tangled, and we keep at the foot of the mountain and draw circles~
