The old locust tree swayed with the wind, and the image of the tree was a shy woman, looking left and right, her eyes hesitating and never daring to fall on Yue Heng.

Sophora japonica rustled like rain, pouring the fragrance of sophora japonica all over his body.

"Huh—" Yue Heng blew off the white flowers that fell on his shoulders, and put on the clothes he just bent down to pick up.

Everyone under the old locust tree stopped their hands one after another, looked at Yue Heng with a smile in their eyes.

"It turned out to be only a little bit, but in a blink of an eye, it was taller than us." The old tailor stretched out his hand to measure, and said with a smile, "I'm not blind, the old cook has been feeding you in different ways over the past ten years."

Shangougou is poor and remote. Fortunately, it is backed by mountains and the river swims in front of the village.Everyone relies on the mountains to eat, and there is an old chef who is a chef with great skills.Although Yue Heng doesn't eat big fish and meat every day, he still eats meat every day, and other people give him melons, fruits and snacks in different ways every day.

Thanks to this, Yue Heng is now the tallest person in the village, and everyone has to lift their chins when they see him.

Yue Heng looked up at the pagoda tree, put his hands on his tight waist, and clicked his tongue against the palate, "Sisters, how about I pick off the pagoda pancakes?"

"I just know how to eat. Did you know that someone came to the village last night?" the old tit asked.He didn't wear women's clothes today, and he had to stand upright, which made Yue Heng feel a little uncomfortable.

"Who's here? Is there anyone else coming from our village?" Yue Heng was puzzled.He has lived here for more than ten years, and he has never seen a new face.

"It's at Lao Youyi's house, and your master is here, go and have a look." Old Chickadee said with a smile.

Yue Heng didn't doubt that he was in his heart, he walked to Lao Youyi's house with his long legs, and before taking two steps, he turned his head, "The Sophora japonica cake——"

"Know it."

"Go, your cake is indispensable."

Everyone under the locust tree waved to him.

Yue Heng smiled heartily, blew kisses to everyone, and disappeared in a flash.

Everyone smiled and watched him disappear down the path, and after a long while, someone sighed, "Oh, I've grown up..."

A black head suddenly appeared on the brand new stone wall.On the black head was a jade-white scorpion, holding two claws and shaking back and forth, and three pairs of appendages stepped on Yue Heng's head rhythmically.

Yue Heng looked left and right, and there were only two chickens, one male and one female, strolling slowly in the empty yard.

"Who's there?" A question mark appeared on Yue Heng's head.

"What are you doing?"

A clear and youthful voice came from behind Yue Heng.

Yue Heng turned his head and said with a smile, "Are you back?"

The old drug boy was carrying a basket full of medicines, raised his eyes, and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Hey!" Yue Heng squatted down, pulled the old drug boy, and asked furtively, "I heard that a new face came to our family, who is it?"

The old drug boy didn't answer when he heard the words, but only looked up and down at Yue Heng.

The face of Yue Heng cannot be ignored in the "colorful and colorful" Shangou Village.He is dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his gestures are unrestrained, a little rough, but like a new quilt that has been basked in the sun, full of the smell of sunshine.

I don't know how many girls can be deceived by going down the mountain... The old Yaotong thought casually.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Yue Heng said dissatisfied.

The old drug boy shrugged and said, "You will know when you enter the door?"

Yue Heng thought about it, and hurriedly patted his butt and chased him in.

A strange man's laughter came from the old doctor's house.

"...I remember that the old Doctor You's house was not surrounded by a fence. Today, I saw it turned into a stone wall. I almost found the wrong door."

"Hahahahaha."

Yue Heng paused slightly, hesitating a little.

The old drug boy leaned over, "Why, are you still shy?"

"Hey hey." Yue Heng scratched his chin.Without him, it was the old cook's birthday three days ago, everyone had dinner together, Yue Heng didn't pay attention, and accidentally drank three glasses of wine, and then——

Yue Heng scratched his chin more and more slowly, unable to look back.

When he woke up, the old scholar's house lost its roof, the old cook's wife's house collapsed, the old tailor's house lost her embroidery room, and the old doctor's house lost her door and wall...

And he was lying on the old chickadee's flowery mattress and sleeping on the fragrant and soft bed, forgetting himself completely.

"Hey, my apprentice is used to precise strikes."

Yue Heng heard the voice of the old alcoholic.

He shook his hair, stood in the yard and shouted, "Master!"

"What are you shouting for?" The old drunkard's white head protruded from the window, his face was flushed, and he was twisting a peanut in his hand, "Come in and meet someone."

"Don't, don't, don't dare!" Yue Heng heard the strange man say, "I have to go out to meet..."

The rest of the voice was covered by the sound of pushing the door, and Yue Heng saw a young man of medium build with vigorous eyebrows and eyes striding out.

Yue Heng subconsciously laughed.

"Hello there!"

"Hello!"

The man jumped up and down, holding Yue Heng's hand very affectionately, and even wanted to reach out and pat Yue Heng's shoulder to show his affection, but he was not tall enough, so he gave up.

"you are?"

"Good question!" The man put a smile on his face, took two steps back, grabbed the handle with both hands and played a trick on Yue Heng, while playing, he said: "Carry all over the world on your shoulders, run in all directions with your feet; go from south to north They are all customers, smiling and welcoming. If you ask me who is here, hey, the salesman is me, and I am—"

The pole fell to the ground with a "thump", and the man put his hips on his hips and laughed, "Old man!"

"Good!" Yue Heng applauded wildly.This name is good, it sounds like one of my own!

"Thank you very much!" The old peddler laughed loudly, and saluted Yue Heng with his shoulder pole.

The old medicine boy at the side rolled his eyes speechlessly.

When the wanderer returned home, the old cook set up a few tables of delicious dishes, as well as the pagoda flower cakes that Yue Perseverance missed.Everyone in Shangou Village gathered together with a smile.

"My good sister, let's eat together." The old man grabbed the old cook's sleeve, which was thrown away by her.

"Whoever is with your sister or sister, go away." The old cook said disgustedly.

"Hey hey, don't go yet, look at the gift I brought you." The old peddler took out a slender wooden box from his clothes, opened the wooden box, and inside was covered with golden yellow silk cloth. The jade phoenix hairpin with pearls and golden steps caught everyone's eyes.

"Good stuff." The old traveling doctor chuckled.

The old tit leaned over its head, enviously: "It's so beautiful."

Yue Heng took a closer look, but didn't see what was beautiful or what was strange, and thought that this thing is so heavy to wear on the head, isn't it uncomfortable.He nodded calmly, "Good bird, good bird... Ouch!"

The old drunkard withdrew his hand, "Unlucky boy, there are not many good words out of his mouth."

Yue Heng got hit on the head in front of his new friends, feeling a little unhappy.

Seeing this, the old shopkeeper hurriedly stuffed the jade hairpin into the old cook's hand, lowered his head and took out something from the load, and put it on the table.

"Heng'er, the thing that the old drunkard asked me to make for you was released not long ago. As soon as I got it, I will hurry to bring it back to you. Look at how much your master loves you!" The old peddler pushed the thing to Yue Heng's hand.

"This is?" Yue Heng looked at the thing in surprise.

On the table, there stood a wine gourd as long as an adult man's forearm.This wine gourd is made of unknown material, its whole body is blue, like copper or iron, with vine-like patterns engraved on it.In the center of the gourd, the patterns are orderly, forming a "heng" character.

"Master!" Yue Heng looked at the old drunkard in surprise.

The old drunkard ignored him, and hummed, "I'll give it to you for free, will it be useful?"

Everyone in the village laughed, obviously they knew Yue Heng's drinking capacity well.I also thought of Yue Heng's "three cups, no difference between the enemy and us" as if he had been cursed, and looked at the huge jug that could hold dozens of three cups, and felt sorry for him.

It's okay, it's okay, I won't be able to harm myself in the future!

"Old man, where is our gift?" Everyone in Shangou Village rushed to the old man.

The old man laughed loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry, we have everything!"

Here, Yue Heng pulled down the small gourd that was as big as a palm on his chest, wiped it lovingly, and put it on the table.He picked up a new heavy gourd, thought for a while, and tied it around his waist.

"Master, why did you suddenly think of giving me a gift?" Yue Heng moved closer to the old drunkard, rubbing his shoulders and arms for the old drunkard as if to flatter him.

Holding the wine glass, the old drunkard kept his body as still as a mountain, took a sip of the wine slowly, and said slowly: "This is a pre-departure gift prepared for you by the teacher."

The originally noisy crowd quieted down for a moment and pricked up their ears.

Yue Heng's smile suddenly froze on his face, his hands hung in the air, and after a while, he fell down, confused, "Huh?"

What did Master say?

"You are going down the mountain, Master has nothing to send you, tell him—"

"Wait, who said I'm going down the mountain?" Yue Heng didn't drink, but his face flushed, and he stood up angrily, like a grown tree, casting a broad shadow.

"Master, are you going to drive me away?"

The eyebrows under the gray hair of the old alcoholic trembled slightly, and he sighed, "Whoever drives you away is just a precious apprentice like you."

Yue Heng turned around angrily, his eyes were red, and he looked to the side. Everyone in Shangou Village turned around and lowered their heads in unison.

"This pattern is so beautiful..."

"Yes yes yes!"

Everyone looked at the rice paper clutched in the hand of the old peddler.

"..."

"You all know?" Yue Heng pointed at them with his chest trembling, and rolled up his sleeves to grab the wine glass.

Everyone's heart trembled.

The old drunk quickly pinned down his arm, "Look at your temper, how can I rest assured after going down the mountain!"

"I'm not going down the mountain!"

"How can you help Master if you don't go down the mountain?" the old drunk suddenly asked.

Yue Heng was so angry that he couldn't think, he followed his words and said, "If you go down the mountain, you have to help the master? Then why doesn't the master go down the mountain? Are you still my master after you go down the mountain?"

The old drunkard's gray eyebrows flew to the top of his head, and with a twist of internal force in his hand, he immediately pressed Yue Heng down.

Yue Heng squatted on the ground, and received three smacks on his forehead.

"Ow!"

"Speak well!" The old drunkard reached out to touch the straw sandals.

Yue Heng took a look at this posture, and subconsciously hugged the old drunkard's leg with a "huh huh" in his mouth, "I made a mistake, Master!"

"Talk to you well, and you'll know how exciting it is." The old drunkard pulled Yue Heng up.

Yue Heng said aggrievedly: "Then why didn't the master discuss with me, and unilaterally announced that I would go down the mountain? How can there be such a thing!"

"Didn't you see it today?" the old drunk said.

Yue Heng clasped his fingers on the table, and the words "unhappy" were just short of writing on his forehead.Everyone in Shangou Village sat back on their stools lightly.

The scene was quiet for a while, except for the "crackling" of the bonfire next to it.

The old traveling doctor looked at Yue Heng with a faint look, and said in a warm voice: "Heng'er, although your master unilaterally asked you to go down the mountain, you know that everyone hates you."

Everyone in Shangou Village hurriedly said: "Yes", "Yes", "I can't bear to woo woo woo".

"Huh." Yue Heng was still angry that they were hiding it from him, humming and touching the wine glass, and was knocked off by the old drunk with a chopstick.

"It's just that you are old now and have martial arts. If you don't go down the mountain to experience it, you will waste your youth." The old doctor said, "And your master really needs you to do something."

The old tit at the side glanced at Yue Heng, and suddenly smiled and said: "And if you don't go down the mountain, where will Xiao Heng bring his wife back?"

With a word from the old tit, the stagnant atmosphere in Shangou Village suddenly came alive.

Yue Heng's ears turned red, and he opened his mouth foolishly, "This, this is..."

"I, I'm just angry that Master didn't discuss it with me!"

"Your master can't bear you." The old poison coaxed.

The old scholar nodded, twirling the brush in his hand, half of the ink fell on the table, "I am worried when my son travels thousands of miles."

Old drunkard: "..."

"Okay, let's get down to business." The old drunkard said, his eyes were lowered, he stepped on the stool, turned sideways, and looked at the wine in the glass.

The breeze swept across the moonlight, and the gray hair of the old drunkard blocked his scattered eyes.

"The past... don't mention it, we came to Shangou Village, and we stopped in Shangou Village. But things are impermanent, and there are some things that you don't want to do if you don't want to do them. Apprentice, do you still remember the old kidney deficiency many years ago?"

Yue Heng shook his head blankly.

"Just the crow spirit, the one buried in the mountain now." The old medicine boy reminded.

"Oh~~" Yue Heng opened his mouth, "I don't remember!"

The old drunkard wants to touch the straw sandals.

Yue Heng hurriedly said: "I, I, I seem to remember!"

The old drunkard sneered, picked up his wine glass, and poured wine for him more fawningly.

They don't need to talk too much, Yue Heng glanced at the youthful and mysterious crowd, and his mind was already full of ups and downs.

Everyone saw that his face suddenly became serious, raised his hand, and said seriously: "I know Master, do you want me to follow the vine and get rid of the crow spirit's lair?"

Old drunkard: "..." Although I don't know what you are thinking, I don't think it is right.

"Wake up, it's been more than ten years." The old drunkard reminded.

Yue Heng became even more puzzled: "Then what does Master want me to do?"

Everyone chuckled, the old doctor took out a map from his sleeve and handed it to Yue Heng.

"Recently the mountains are not peaceful, and there are a lot of rats nearby. It seems like crows are as smart as before. It's just that our house is bare and we barely have food to eat. How can we have food left over to feed the rats?" The old traveling doctor chuckled and looked at Yue Heng.

"This is the location of Shangou Village before we moved. It is estimated that these people came here for these things. After you go down the mountain, go and see if the things at home are still there. If they are."

Yue Heng raised his head and continued, "Bring it back?"

"Burn it."
