old grace

The house is said to be three and a half rooms, except for the two bedrooms, the other room used for eating and cooking fire has only walls on three sides, and it is an open house.Because there are female relatives in the family, Xie Qinghe did not allow Shu Jing to sleep in the courtyard, but let him in and live in the same room with him.

There was no extra bedding at home, so Xie Qinghe found a winter cloak from the cabinet to keep Shu Jing warm.

Shu Jing followed Xie Qinghe all the way, knowing that he was about to move, he quickly said: "I have clothes that are enough to keep out the cold, and I dare not soil my master's long-haired cloak." Jiang Yingzhou's cloak is made of fur, although it is miscellaneous. It can't be called priceless, and it's not easy to find in ordinary people.

Xie Qinghe glanced him up and down, then found a sewn cloak from the cabinet, and gave it to him.

——The fur cloak is not easy to clean if it is dirty, and the cloth cloak needs to be washed.

Seeing that he didn't even bother to say a word, Shu Jing really hated him, so he didn't dare to give up.If you don't give a bed, you really don't have any extra beds. When you stay overnight, you find a cloak to keep out the cold.

Shu Jing held the cloak and cloak and knelt in thanks.

Xie Qinghe has untied his outer robe, hung it on the clothes hanger, and went to bed with only his middle coat, ready to rest.

Shu Jing immediately realized that because he was in the house, the master felt unfamiliar and inconvenient, so he didn't change into pajamas to rest.It's just that Xie Qinghe was too lazy to talk to him, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to make a noise.

After being returned to the market last year, Shu Jing hadn't bathed for more than half a year, and his body was covered in dirt.First, I poured a basin of water on my body, but it was just smeared on my body, and it was of no use for washing.At this moment, he was afraid that the cloak that Xie Qinghe had given him would be dirty, so he had to carefully wrap the cloth cloak around his body, then covered it with the long-haired cloak, and curled up to rest against the door panel.

You don't have to sleep in a cage nailed with logs in the human market. The headrest under your body is flat and solid, and there is no night wind blowing around.

Shu Jing had a rare good night's sleep.

The next morning.

Jiang Erniang got up and lit the fire to prepare breakfast, Shu Jing was alarmed immediately.

He could feel that Xie Qinghe on the bed had also been woken up, but Xie Qinghe had no intention of getting up, and still closed his eyes.Shu Jing gently put away the cloak on his body, opened the door a little, and put it on lightly after going out.

Xie Qinghe opened his eyes only when Shu Jing went out and his whisper to Jiang Erniang could be heard outside the house.

Throughout the night, Shu Jing maintained the same posture, his breathing was steady, almost unchanged.

This is not the sleep state of normal people.

Successful practitioners can control their breathing and heartbeat, so as to keep their skin in the most suitable state for cultivation.Obviously Shu Jing can do this even if he is not a monk, it only shows that he has received very strict targeted training.

Xie Qinghe didn't get out of bed after getting up, and meditated for a while to hold his breath, listening to the movement outside quietly.

After yesterday's small twists and turns, Jiang Erniang has become somewhat wary of Shu Jing, and is quite strict with Shu Jing.It's just that Shu Jing's left leg completely lost consciousness, and he could only drag his left leg when walking, which made Jiang Erniang very shocked: "What's wrong with your foot?"

After being warned by Xie Qinghe, Shu Jing didn't dare to play tricks on Jiang Erniang again, and said with a low eyebrow, "I don't want to delay my work. Is my aunt making breakfast? I will light the fire."

Jiang Erniang hated it very much: "Go, it's dirty to death."

Shu Jing stood a little helpless.

Jiang Erniang picked up a handkerchief from nowhere and gave it to him, and said: "There is a wooden basin over there, go to the door and wash your hands and face. When my younger brother wakes up later, if he doesn't send you back, he will find you clothes Take a bath—do you have lice or fleas on your body? You slept in my brother’s room yesterday, didn’t you take the bugs with him?”

Speaking of which, Jiang Erniang complained: "Why did I tell you to sleep in the room. I have to buy insecticide powder later..."

Shu Jing's body is dirty, there are no lice or fleas at all, and he cleans it up when he has nothing to do.Now that Jiang Erniang complained, he couldn't make amends, so he thanked him for the handkerchief, fetched a basin of water, obediently went to the door to wash his face and hands, and casually wiped his exposed arms and legs.

A basin of water was dirty, so Shu Jing changed the water and washed it again.

Jiang Erniang didn't allow Shu Jing to touch the things on the food table at all. Seeing that she couldn't help with breakfast, Shu Jing went to fetch water again.

From the beginning to the end, Shu Jing was very honest and did not intentionally please Jiang Erniang or make Jiang Erniang talk.Xie Qinghe knew that he had calmed down a little last night, so he rubbed his face and got out of bed, changed the middle coat he had been wearing all day and night, changed his clothes and went out.

"I got up so early today." Jiang Erniang washed her hands and boiled water for her younger brother to make tea. "The noodles are not ready yet."

Xie Qinghe wanted to chop stuffing for her, but Jiang Erniang took away the kitchen knife and scolded him: "Use the knife before you open your eyes, and watch your fingers carefully. Go sit there and drink tea. If you are hungry, I will give you a bite first." A bowl of noodles?"

Xie Qinghe remembered the braised pork noodles she said yesterday, and woke up instantly after dozing off: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry."

Jiang Erniang quickly cut the meat and stuffing, and asked casually, "Should we retreat to that person?"

"No retreat. The family lacks someone to do rough work," Xie Qinghe originally wanted to buy a servant to do the work at home, but Shu Jing's background is unknown and he is extremely skilled, so if he stays at home, he is afraid that Jiang Erniang will be overwhelmed, "I also lack someone to serve me. Tell him to follow me. You don’t have to do the housework, second sister, carrying water and chopping firewood, etc., and ask him to do it well when he comes back.”

Jiang Erniang complained again, mainly because she thought Shu Jing was too dirty and thought he shouldn't be asked to stay in the house last night.

Xie Qinghe didn't refute, just drank tea and listened.

It took Shu Jing some time to bring the water back when he went out in the morning to carry the water, and the steamed buns Jiang Erniang had already served in the pot.

Seeing Xie Qinghe sitting at the table drinking tea, Shu Jing was a little timid, and bowed his knees to say hello.

Xie Qinghe knew that he was dishonest, so he deliberately beat him up, drinking tea and not telling him to get up, Shu Jing just knelt in the small courtyard and waited.Jiang Erniang couldn't tell what her younger brother was losing his temper, so she took a sneak peek at Shu Jing, thinking that the person she bought...was really good-looking.

"Second sister, I'm going to Mr. Zhuang's place today. I'll hang around for half a day and come back for lunch. In the afternoon, let's go to the newly rented yard to see if there is anything we need to buy. After packing it up, we will move there in two days." Xie Qinghe is really dissatisfied with this place.

Jiang Erniang put the cut pickles on a plate, put them on the table, and said, "Where is the yard you rented? Why don't you tell me. I don't have anything to do at home, so I'll clean it up first. It's someone else's yard. Living in it, you have to scrub around to settle it..."

Xie Qinghe asked her intentionally: "Then I... let Xiaoyan go with the second sister and help clean?"

Shu Jing's name registered in the crime register is Yan Ji, so Xie Qinghe called him Xiao Yan.

Jiang Erniang quickly said: "No, no. You lack someone to serve you, of course I follow you. I myself..." Thinking of her younger brother repeatedly telling her not to carry water to do heavy work, where can I get away from water when cleaning and tidying up?She had no choice but to give up, "That's still according to your arrangement, go in the afternoon."

Xie Qinghe's breakfast is still rice porridge, meat buns and pickles, and now he wants to buy another servant girl.

——No matter how much I like something, I can't stand eating it every day.

What's more, Jiang Erniang can't be asked to do all the housework. There is a little servant girl who can talk to Jiang Erniang, and she can be more cheerful.

Shu Jing got a bowl of leftover rice with braised meat soup.The rice is a full bowl, covered with pickles.

Since he fell into the crime, he hasn't had a full meal for a long time, his appetite has become very small, and he can't finish the big bowl of rice.I had no choice but to eat in one direction, and took out a hole as I ate, only to find that there was something else at the bottom of the bowl—a piece of lean meat was actually buried.

It's not that they haven't eaten meat.

but……

It's been a long, long time, and I haven't tasted meat.

Shu Jing took the piece of meat out with chopsticks and gnawed it off slowly, his vision blurred.

Jiang Erniang motioned to Xie Qinghe to see Shu Jing.Shu Jing's tears just fell into the bowl.

Xie Qinghe said lightly: "I cried for you."

Jiang Erniang was taken aback.

"He has a lot of thoughts. Second sister just use him and don't pay too much attention to him. If you think there is something wrong, just tell me."

Xie Qinghe picked up the mouthwash and went to the spittoon. After rinsing his mouth, he walked up to Shu Jing and told him, "After dinner, wash the dishes, and go and boil some hot water to take a bath in my room—Second Sister , lend him the grate."

Jiang Erniang was very dissatisfied: "How can you sleep at night when you make your room smoky? I saw a screen shelf in the corner, and it was barely usable with a piece of cloth. I asked him to move it out and put it in the corner, so I washed it there. That's fine." Take care."

Of course Xie Qinghe also knew that this was the best arrangement.However, if there are female relatives in the family, it is very offensive to ask a man to take a bath outside with his buttocks naked.

Neither he nor Shu Jing can mention this matter, only Jiang Erniang can arrange it by herself.

Xie Qinghe nodded: "Alright."

Shu Jing was tall and tall, and couldn't fit Jiang Yingzhou's clothes. He took a bath at home, and Xie Qinghe took Jiang Erniang out for shopping.

Jiang Erniang bought some fresh vegetables and half a catty of meat at the vegetable market with a basket in her hand. Xie Qinghe couldn't help suggesting, "This half catty of meat is not enough for me alone." Jiang Erniang went back to the pork shop and asked the butcher to cut another half catty.

Xie Qinghe: "..."

On the way back, Xie Qinghe bought two sets of clothes for Shu Jing at the tailor shop.

Jiang Erniang was very upset: "It's surprising that people earn money for this handwork. With a few feet of cloth, I can tailor it in a day..."

Xie Qinghe is used to her nagging.

Her nagging is nothing but nagging, it will not stop Xie Qinghe from doing anything, just listen to a few words for nothing.

After buying the good things and returning home, Shu Jing has a completely new look, and the yard has been tidied up, leaving only some slight water stains.

"Change your clothes and go out with me. It's getting late." Xie Qinghe said.

Only then did Shu Jing realize that he was going out to buy clothes for himself.

When Shu Jing changed into new clothes and came out, he was only dressed in common clothes, but he also had a faint heroic appearance.Even though her cheeks were sunken and out of shape, Jiang Erniang's heart beat faster when she saw Jiang Erniang, and she couldn't help thinking, how could such a good-looking man fall into slavery?

"Let's go."

Xie Qinghe took Shu Jing to the manor for a walk, the distance was only half a mile, and he arrived in a short while.

This time there is no need for Xie Qinghe to knock on the door, the gate of the manor is open, and Zhuang Tong is standing at the door waiting.Seeing Xie Qinghe approaching from a distance, Zhuang Tong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the ground: "Mr.

Trian'er who was following him was still holding a teacup in his hand, it could be seen that he had stood there for a long time, probably waiting for dawn.

The so-called courtesy is not surprising.If he didn't come to wait at the door, Xie Qinghe wouldn't think he was disrespectful, but if he came to wait respectfully at the door, Xie Qinghe would naturally think that he was thoughtful and respectful, and would secretly give him two points.

"Excuse me, you have been waiting for a long time." Yesterday, the father and son of the Zhuang family jointly took the class. Xie Qinghe did not use respectful words to Zhuang Tong. In a quiet place, I will teach you how to exercise your body and Qi, just try it out once."

Mr. Zhuang had to give lectures every day, so of course he couldn't stop class at any time and come out to see guests. Xie Qinghe said that he didn't have time to wait, and Zhuang Tong also understood.

If you don't receive guests in Laoshanju, the Shanshui Study Room that usually receives guests is not quiet. Zhuang Tong directly led Xie Qinghe to his own residence, the Yangyi Garden in the southwest corner of the manor.Xie Qinghe approached the door and said, "Take off the sign."

Zhuang Tong answered "Yes" first, and then asked puzzledly, "Is there anything wrong with this brand?"

Xie Qinghe walked forward along the six-edge stone road, and explained: "You are not in good health, and your life is about to die, and you only care about nourishing your mind? It's time to nourish your life. Go in and out here, thinking about it every day, If you only care about cultivating your mind and keeping your thoughts, you will not think about moving, and your health will get worse."

Zhuang Tong respectfully followed behind him and said, "Please give me a name, sir."

"Nandou Zhusheng, it can be called Nanxing. If you feel that the weather is too big, you can call it Changsheng if it is rustic. The soil masters hair growth, contains all things, and has the power to grow. The more soil, the healthier it is." Xie Qinghe said casually.

Zhuang Tong understood and said, "That's called Changsheng Garden."

Having already reached the door, Zhuang Tong invited Xie Qinghe to enter the room and take a seat, begging with a shy face, "Boldly ask sir for a word."

Xie Qinghe didn't have the habit of writing wherever he went. He just thought that Zhuang Tong would go to the door and wait early in the morning, and said: "It's also simple. You don't need to make tea. Tell your boy to grind ink and lay paper. Tell you the essentials of practice."

Only then did Zhuang Tong realize that Xie Qinghe was really in a hurry, so he quickly ordered Triple to spread the paper, and then asked Xie Qinghe to sit down, and the two of them talked.

What Xie Qinghe taught Zhuang Tong was the basic exercises practiced by the outer disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, which were mainly used to strengthen the body and eliminate diseases and evils, as the foundation for the entry into the foundation.Zhuang Tong's comprehension ability is very good, and the foundation of the exercises is simple, so he can understand it at a point.

Under Xie Qinghe's guidance, Zhuang Tong quickly tried it out.

Just after the exercise was over, Zhuang Tong started to cough and spit out some thin phlegm involuntarily.

The effect was so fast, Zhuang Tong was both surprised and happy, and patted his chest, wishing to cough up all the old silt immediately.

Xie Qinghe likes smart people very much, Zhuang Tong's aptitude is [-] to [-] times better than that of Erlang, and [-] to [-] times better than that of Young Emperor, so he feels really comfortable teaching him.He got up and went to the desk to write to Zhuang Tong, and said: "When you first practice this kung fu, you must be guarded by your comrades, so as not to make mistakes and hurt yourself. When I am not around, don't think about practicing."

Zhuang Tong was a little pitiful, and asked: "When will you be free, sir? Or will the prospective disciple come to ask for advice?"

"I'm moving in the past two days." Xie Qinghe readjusted the position of the paperweight. He felt that the skill of Trian'er's ink research was not good enough, so he picked up the ink stick and reprocessed it. After licking the ink, he wrote the three characters "Eternal Life Garden" , "Tomorrow will be a fine weather. When you look at the end of the day and the beginning of the day, when the sun is almost up, avoid water vapor and walk in a clean place. Don't run, and don't be too slow. It's just right for you to sweat a little... walk Come back and rest and sweat in a sheltered place. I will try my best to come over tomorrow, so don’t wait at the door.”

Zhuang Tong wrote them down one by one, and when Xie Qinghe said to come over as soon as possible, he bowed and thanked: "Mr. Lao Lao."

"In the past two days, it is impossible to borrow a car." Xie Qinghe said.

Zhuang Tong quickly said: "Let's let the door go."

Xie Qinghe had already put the brush into the brush washer, cleaned it out habitually, and said, "No need for now. Use it when you move."

Zhuang Tong said: "I will inform the subordinates of this matter, and leave the carriages and horses. If you need to use them, just ask the concierge, and they will be taken away immediately."

This is very sensible.Xie Qinghe put down his rolled up sleeves and said: "Then I will leave first. You don't have to send it off. You have just received your skills and your body is weak. You have to shelter from the wind for half an hour in the house. People who come and go often don't pay attention to this point. It's a courtesy, see you tomorrow."

Zhuang Tong thanked him again and again, but still sent it to the door of the house, and bowed to the ground: "Sir, go slowly."

Triple led Xie Qinghe out, and when he walked out of the Changsheng Garden, he was a little pissed off.

Xie Qinghe asked him: "Why are you angry?"

Tripping didn't say a word.

Xie Qinghe stopped asking.

It was Jian'er's turn to hold back, and asked: "The master told me to study ink, but he thought my ink was not good. Is it really bad?"

Xie Qinghe asked unexpectedly: "Do you think it's fine?"

Tripper showed an unconvinced expression.

"You didn't pay attention when you were studying ink. You listened to me talking to Zhuang Tong, and looked up to see where I was pointing at Zhuang Tong. You were curious about what I taught him, and you also wanted to learn something in your heart. So, Yan Mo Sometimes half-hearted, the ink is of different thicknesses, sometimes sticky and sometimes thin. Do you think that you have been familiar with ink for many years? Others may not be able to tell if your ink is good or bad, but I am more picky." Xie Qinghe said.

Triple's face was flushed by the words, she lowered her head and just led the way, no longer defending with Xie Qinghe.

Walking to the door, Xie Qinghe was about to leave, when Triple suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you sir for teaching me. From now on, Triple will concentrate on one thing, and dare not be half-hearted."

Xie Qinghe didn't expect him to come here, after nodding slightly, he left with Shu Jing.

He Jing and Yuan Shi'an just woke up from a hangover and just came to the manor to go to school, so they happened to meet this scene and passed by Xie Qinghe.After Xie Qinghe had gone far away, He Jing stepped forward and asked Trian'er: "This is the one that Mr. Xie invited to the banquet yesterday? Did you stay overnight? Are you leaving now?"

Tripper shook his head and said, "No. I went back after drinking yesterday, and I came to teach the young master today."

He Jing opened her eyes wide: "Teaching... senior brother?"

Yuan Shi An couldn't help turning his head back, wanting to take another look at the boy who passed by just now.Unfortunately, it has come a long way.

"That's right, I taught the young master how to practice kung fu, and even changed the brand name of Yangyi Garden, and rewritten it to replace it." Triple said with admiration on his face.

He Jing and Yuan Shi'an looked at each other.Practice?Charlatan?no?

"Let's go and have a look." He Jing thought that with Zhuang Tong's intelligence, he shouldn't be fooled by charlatans.

Yuan Shi'an has a different attitude.There are a lot of smart people in the Gaomen mansion, but are there still fewer people who have been taken over by charlatans?Some liars really have two brushes, and they can't accept it.

The two went to Zhuang Tong's residence with the intention of investigating the truth and debunking the scam, and happened to see a servant taking off the sign.

"My senior brother is a bit high." He Jing muttered softly.

At that time, An didn't say a word, thinking in her heart that the person above might not be Mr. Xiao Zhuang, but Mr. Zhuang.

He Jing trotted into the room and asked, "Senior Brother? Senior Brother?"

Zhuang Tong was sitting in front of the table, with the big characters left by Xie Qinghe in front of him, admiring the copy.

These words were originally used to make a plaque. As Xie Qinghe said, you can see it when you go in and out. When you go in and out, think about it, which will naturally affect people's subconsciousness. In order to maintain health for Zhuang Tong, he is writing these three words. In the first word, I deliberately used a rounded edge and a strong bone, just like the growth of a person and the growth of all things, which naturally brings out the image of growth, and it can make people raise their yang and nourish their yin after a long time.

He Jing ran in and was about to ask about the little liar, but when she saw Zhuang Tong's refined and elegant appearance, she habitually hesitated.

After all, he didn't dare to make trouble in front of his senior brother.

"Why are you here?" Zhuang Tong knew that he was with Yuan Shi'an Changri, so he stood up.

Sure enough, after a while, Yuan Shi'an also followed in, and talked with Zhuang Tong.

Zhuang Tong bowed slightly: "Your Majesty Yuan."

In front of Zhuang Tong, He Jing had to say quietly: "I heard what kind of kung fu my senior is practicing, let me take a look."

"It's about strengthening your body." Zhuang Tong didn't intend to say more about it, but instead pointed to the newly framed landscape painting of the manor, "Yesterday, Mr. Jiang came to keep this painting at home. I have worshiped under Mr. Learn calligraphy and painting—”

He Jing and Yuan Shi'an's eyes followed, and they couldn't tear it off when they were stuck on the painting.

"Father means that if there are students in the school who don't pay attention to their careers and have leisure time, they can also follow the master to improve the way of calligraphy and painting."

He Jing, who was looking at the painting, immediately yelled: "I! I! I! I don't care about starting a career! I have a lot of free time! I want to learn painting!"

Yuan Shi'an also nodded slightly.

Zhuang Tong had known for a long time that these two Wuzhi Mountains could not escape Mr. Jiang, so he slowly talked about the conditions: "Shu Xiu naturally wants to give another copy. In addition, the master's acceptance of apprentices depends on talent. If the talent is not good, he will not accept it." Will take it."

He Jing nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "It should be! Brother, when will you recommend us?"

Zhuang Tong thought for a while and said, "You should live in the school today. If Mr. Tomorrow comes, I'll ask Triple to call you."

"Okay! Tomorrow, right?" He Jing exchanged glances with Yuan Shi'an, "We're going to prepare for the apprentice ceremony today."

■

On the way back, Xie Qinghe slowed down and asked, "Know that person?"

A person like Shu Jing, who has undergone rigorous training and has never changed his breathing rate during sleep, unexpectedly slowed down his breathing for a moment when he passed by two young scholars just now.Moreover, Xie Qinghe can meet each other, and Yuan Shi'an is not the appearance of a countryman.

Shu Jing dragged one leg and followed beside him for a long time without speaking, before he said, "Master said, only servants who carry water and chop firewood are needed."

"Then let me ask another question, does he know you?" Xie Qinghe said.

Only then did Shu Jing understand what he was concerned about, and suddenly felt ashamed of a villain, and his attitude softened instantly: "Master, don't worry, what I did in the past was all shady things, and those who knew me... are no longer alive. It won't be recognized by others, and it will cause trouble for the master."

Xie Qinghe nodded and stopped asking.

Went home and had lunch with Jiang Erniang, Xie Qinghe still had a tea break, and only wandered out in the middle of the afternoon to see the newly rented yard.

In Xie Qinghe's view, this small courtyard is still not wide enough.It’s just that compared to the small residence with only three and a half rooms, this place can be called a luxurious one. It’s a well-organized courtyard house with east and west wings in the main room, and two rows of inverted houses in the south.

What surprised Jiang Erniang the most was that there was a well in the yard: "That's great, I don't have to queue."

She was used to drawing water by herself, Shu Jing hurried forward to help, a bucket of water was twisted up, Jiang Erniang took a sip, and became more and more happy: "It's a sweet water well!" The sweet water well can be used for eating and drinking directly, while the bitter water well can only be used for laundry and sweeping .

Xie Qinghe went into the room and looked around, the room was indeed in a mess, and there was a stench of rotten wine and meat everywhere.

The main room and the east and west wing rooms look like a gathering of people to gamble. The tables and chairs are put together, and there are peanuts and melon seed skins on the floor, as well as thick phlegm and water stains.

Jiang Erniang patted her chest and promised: "What's the matter? It was cleaned up in half a day. The well is in the yard. I'll clean up your place first. I just need to make a bed in my room, and I think I can move in tonight." She also I feel that the house is too small to live in, especially with the addition of Xiao Yan.

Xie Qinghe knew that there were people gathering here to gamble, and he was also worried that if he cleaned up today and went home to sleep overnight, it would be a mess again tomorrow.

The padlock on the door didn't work.

If those gangsters who gather to gamble are so easy to get rid of, Li Jinya's distant relatives who turn the corner don't have to rent out the yard at a low price.

"Then clean up first. What do you want to go home to get?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Jiang Erniang wanted to go home to get rags, buckets and basins. Xie Qinghe thought it was time-consuming to go back and forth, so he gave Shu Jing some broken silver and asked him to go shopping in the street, and bought some incense candles, yellow paper and cinnabar.

Only then did Jiang Erniang know that someone had died here, so she asked cautiously, "How did he die, and where did he die?"

Xie Qinghe couldn't help laughing: "Second sister is afraid?"

Jiang Erniang said stiffly, "I'm not afraid. I'm just...curious."

Xie Qinghe didn't ask for details at the time, and now there are too many skin restrictions, and he can't feel whether there are resentful spirits in the yard, so he can only wait for Shu Jing to buy the incense candles.It was not too late at this moment, the sun was quite good, Jiang Erniang was suspicious of a dark ghost, and kept asking Xie Qinghe: "Do you feel a little chilly?"

Xie Qinghe found a fairly clean bench, put it in the sun in the yard, and told Jiang Erniang to sit on it: "It's so warm."

"I think you're coaxing me." Jiang Erniang folded her arms, her face full of caution.

Not long after, Shu Jing came back with big and small bags.

Xie Qinghe set up an incense table in the yard, looked at the cinnabar that Shu Jing bought, and thought that this person was not all troublesome.At least he has seen the market, knows what is good and what is bad, so it is easy to send him to buy things.If you meet someone who doesn't know how to do it, buying cinnabar can cause a lot of trouble.

Xie Qinghe stood in front of the incense table and drew talismans on yellow paper and cinnabar. Over there, Shu Jing carried water and heavy objects, and Jiang Erniang quickly cleaned the main room.

Both Shu Jing and Jiang Erniang watched Xie Qinghe's movements silently.

...Your brother (master) also knows how to draw symbols? !

Xie Qinghe didn't pay so much attention to rituals, he just burned the talisman after drawing a few prayers silently.

Just, is it over?

Jiang Erniang glanced at Shu Jing in confusion.

Shu Jing put his head down and moved the cabinets in the house so that Jiang Erniang could sweep out the dust inside.

Jiang Erniang did her best to clean up her younger brother's house. It happened that there was such a capable servant as Shu Jing who seemed to have endless energy. She simply asked Shu Jing to move all the furniture to the yard, and the house was thoroughly cleaned. It also happened to be washing and drying in the yard.As she said, before dark, the main room will be cleared out, with mats and beds laid out, and people can live there.

Just as he was about to continue tidying up the east wing, a few people walked in with their shoulders crossed, talking and laughing, with stewed pork and shochu in their hands.

Seeing that the courtyard door was open, the man still smiled: "Who came earlier than us? To snatch your second brother's God of Wealth seat..."

Before finishing a sentence, the two sides met face to face, and the man was dumbfounded: "Who are you?"

In Jiang Erniang's mind, the younger brother was still an ignorant child, so she walked out immediately and said, "We have already rented out this yard, and we will move in after tidying it up today. Do you want to find another treasure hunting place?"

Jiang Erniang's handsome appearance made a wealthy businessman like Li Changshu salivate, let alone such a group of homeless gangsters?It's okay if she doesn't show up, but when she comes out, the other party's eyes light up: "Little lady..."

After saying two words, the person fell to the ground with a puff.

Shu Jing didn't make a move.

It was Xie Qinghe who shot.In his hand, he held a bamboo pole that Jiang Erniang used to wipe the roof, and he poked the opponent's lower body very quickly.Because of the extremely fast speed and the poking at a vital point, the man fell down in an instant, without the power to resist at all.

Shu Jing was secretly startled, and suddenly remembered the situation where Xie Qinghe stabbed his left leg last night.

He was a bit dissatisfied with Xie Qinghe at first, thinking that Xie Qinghe kept saying that he only wanted to carry water and firewood, so he crippled his left leg. He knew that there would be gangsters in this yard gathering people to gamble, so he wanted to stand by on purpose and force Xie Qinghe Changed his words - told him to fight back against the enemy, so it can't be said that he only needs to be a servant who carries water and chops firewood?Can ordinary slaves carrying water and chopping firewood repel powerful enemies for their masters?

Unexpectedly, Xie Qinghe didn't need him to make a move at all, and he didn't seem to expect him to make a move, a bamboo pole poked one person down first.

Moreover, according to Shu Jing, judging from the current situation, if Xie Qinghe can knock down one, he will definitely be able to knock down a hundred.

His speed is simply too fast.In this world, the limit of cooperation in encirclement and co-killing is seven people. Xie Qinghe's speed can at least knock down four at the same time, which is completely enough to deal with this group of country gangsters. It is impossible for four people to attack effectively at the same time.

Therefore, Xie Qinghe didn't need Shu Jing to take action at all.

After knocking down one person, Xie Qinghe shot again, knocking down the remaining three together.

"roll."

……

Jiang Erniang looked at the group of gangsters who refused to leave and was very angry: "Are you still going?"

The leader of the hooligans trembled all over, and said bitterly: "No, no, no, don't get out, ancestor, female ancestor... can't get up, ouch!"

Shu Jing touched his unconscious left leg, and felt pity for each other for a moment.

After a while, the sweaty gangsters supported each other to stand up, and stumbled out the door.

There were a few paper packages left on the ground, all of which were lo-mei. Jiang Erniang picked them up and looked at them, saying: "Pork head meat, pig belly, pig intestines, potatoes, gluten, and peanuts..." She secretly glanced at her brother, "How about we make do with a meal?"

Jiang Yingzhou is extremely concerned about face, he never eats leftovers from other people, let alone the leftovers from gangsters?

Xie Qinghe has nothing to do, the key point is not to grab it with his hands: "Before it is dark, go and bring back two bowls of noodles, and then ask the store to borrow a few pairs of chopsticks." He told Shu Jing.

Shu Jing was in awe of him, he didn't wait for a good joke, so he took the money respectfully and went out to buy noodles for him.

Jiang Erniang chased after and told: "Buy some lamp oil."

It was getting dark, and there were enough oil lamps in the yard, but there was not much lamp oil.

Although the candles are bright, they are expensive and unburned. They are only used occasionally in common people's homes. The Jiang family, where Jiang Zhanwen and Jiang Yingzhou are, only light candles. Most of them still use oil lamps.The so-called "one light is like a bean" means that you can barely see the road, and don't fall on the ground when you can't see the threshold clearly.

Shu Jing was walking on the road, recalling the shops he passed by when he was shopping, where to buy noodles, and where to buy lamp oil.

At this time, the gangsters who were poked out by Xie Qinghe came over with seven or eight other gangsters, and happened to meet Shu Jing on a narrow road.

"Brother Nan, this cripple and that kid are together!" the gangster who had been poked shouted at the people around him.

Persimmons should be picked soft.Shu Jing happened to be alone, and seeing that he was crippled and thin, he looked easy to bully.Brother Nan waved his hand, and more than a dozen gangsters rushed forward, and Shu Jing put them on the ground one by one after a while.

He didn't say anything harsh, and he had nothing to say to these people.Thinking that Jiang Erniang likes to take advantage of other people's hands, Shu Jing also picked up the oil paper bags that these gangsters left on the side of the road, and continued to look for noodle shops and lamp oil shops.

When Shu Jing carried the lamp oil and two bowls of boiled noodle soup, and passed by the fighting place again, the group of gangsters had disappeared.

Being knocked down twice in a row, shouldn't it be hard to think about it anymore?

When Shu Jing returned to the small courtyard with the noodle soup, he happened to see more gangsters running out of the courtyard rolling and crawling.

This time there must be more than 20.

Those who were poked by Xie Qinghe first, and those who were brought down by Shu Jing were all inside.

They all covered their thighs and knees, stumbled when they walked, or cried for their parents, or complained to each other, saying "I can't say it, I really can't beat it", "You guys just push me to fart", "Is that me?" Don't come here" "Can you shut up if it's all like this", ran out pitifully after a miserable wind and rain.

Suddenly seeing Shu Jing holding two bowls of noodles, the dozen or so people who had been beaten by Shu Jing were startled, and subconsciously raised their hands: "The young man in the yard has already beaten me and is about to go home If you agree not to fight, you will definitely not fight..."

Shu Jing was holding two bowls of noodles, with a bamboo basket on his arm, which contained lamp oil and the oil paper bag he picked up: "Don't touch my noodles."

More than a dozen gangsters hurriedly retreated from the stone road to make way for him.

At this moment, suddenly a gangster standing far away said: "Hey, isn't this the unsalable slave in the market? It's a slave! Brothers, hit, you won't pay for your life if you kill it, just collect money to pay for it." !"

Shu Jing's eyes suddenly sank.

The gangster who shouted was immediately slapped on the head by the neighbors, and someone scolded him angrily: "If you beat him to death, you don't pay for your life. Can you beat him to death? Whoever beat the other to death! Shut up!"

The gangster next to Shu Jing even smiled apologetically: "Brother, don't listen to that kid's nonsense, please, go back quickly, this side is going to be messed up."
