smile to heart

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

Liunian Town at the foot of Changting Mountain has a night market.

When Qi Zhong went down the mountain to the town, he happened to encounter a lively gathering. The farmers had finished their work before they had spare time to come out to sell grain for cloth, visit relatives and catch up with friends.

The task this time is fairly simple, and the path is kept in mind, and he is very familiar with it, so it is still early when Qi finally retrieves the records of people's livelihood.

When he passed Qiongfang Tower, he couldn't help breaking his precepts, strode in, caught a servant and yelled at him to serve wine quickly.

On weekdays, he would not be able to enjoy the nourishment of such nectar and nectar on the mountain. If his master Qi Yuxing was not an old alcoholic, he might have endured it even more aggrieved.

Qi Zhong crossed his legs, took mouthfuls of mellow grain wine, stretched his neck, looked at the storytelling table downstairs, looked away in disappointment, and cut a sentence: "Why isn't the storyteller coming? It's rare for me to come out for a while, my lord." Come on, you'll be spoiling the fun."

When he was bored, he flipped through the contents of the 'Record of the People's Livelihood' on the table.

This Jizhi is also called 'Minjian'.It is a rigid index to measure the strength of the major immortal sects in Shangjiang. Most of the contents are anecdotes and strange things reported by the people in various territories. I hope that the monks of various sects can come forward to help solve them. Is there any trifle about asking for rain that doesn't go well...

If these are not recorded throughout the article, it means that the Immortal Sect directly under this place is capable of doing things well and is worthy of worship.In this way, the common people respect and love, and casual cultivators respect and fear, and more children will be attracted to learn from teachers and grow their power.

But Qi Zhong doesn't care about these things, he just wants to see if there are any strange things happening in the past month out of curiosity, preferably something big that can make his master come forward, if so, then he will be able to On the side, secretly learn some advanced fairy arts.

But after turning through a few pages, they were all ordinary trivial matters. He felt bored, so he simply closed the book and went to drink by the window.

……

"Guest officer, wake up, sleeping by the window is easy to catch cold."

The boy's shouts came from next to his ear, Qi Zhong raised his head bewilderedly, woke up from the drink, and found that he had just fallen asleep lying on the table.

"Yo, guest officer, you are awake. Please pay for the drink."

Originally, I thought this young man was sensible, and really thought of him, but I was afraid that he would renege on his debts, so I deliberately woke up to pay for the wine.

Qi Mo curled his lips, blew on the sleepy bangs on his forehead, took out a money bag from his arms, and threw some broken silver to him: "No, don't look for the rest, use it to buy candy."

"Uh...thank you sir, thank you sir." The servant was stunned for a moment and thanked again and again.

Before leaving, the old man blushed, he must be at least as old as this little drinker!How can I give a tip and call someone to buy candy?Coax the little boy.

Rubbing between his brows, Qi Zhong shook his head, stood up, and walked to the window.

There was a short spring rain just now, and the heat dropped a bit, and the streets were wet.

But the sky cleared up after the rain, and the light of the sky poured down from the thin clouds, sprinkled on the river in the distance, glowing with shining silver light.

The evening was slightly cool, and the breeze from the window swept away the smell of alcohol in his arms, and even the smell of sleep dissipated.

Qi Zhong pinched his chin and thought leisurely: What else can I do?

……ah!I haven't bought the flower cake for my junior sister yet!It's too bad, it's too late to sell it.

Thinking of another important matter, Qi Zhong rushed out of the door in a hurry and rushed to the shop of "Li Ji Flower Cake" in a panic.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived, there was still a long queue outside the door!

Qi Zhong couldn't help complaining in his heart: It's all over, why are you still queuing up?

Waiting till his mouth was dry and distracted, Qi Zhong began to look around lazily. Changting's mountains and rivers support people is not just nonsense. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, regardless of the elderly or children, their faces are quite honest and ruddy.

I was inexplicably relieved, as if he was also a member of this native.

The team advanced a few more people, and Qi Zhonggang was about to follow, but in the blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of a group of strange faces coming out of the bluestone alley next to him. Putting it neatly and uniformly, it can be seen that it is the result of well-trained and strict teaching.

There are not many fairy families in Shangjiang who want to find such children, Qi Zhong couldn't help but take a second look, wondering in his heart: It's so good, how could there be other fairy families visiting Changting?Could it be that they came to challenge the martial arts?

"Uncle, here is a crescent flower cake."

"It's the last one."

Hearing the sound of someone buying pastries, Qi Zhong hurriedly turned around, and found that he was distracted just now, and he was far behind the last person, and was dishonestly cut in line by others!

Biting his lip, Qi Zhong put his hands on his hips, rolled his eyes, and pushed the young man who caught the sharp-mouthed monkey cheek in front, squinting his eyes and said: "Go! Do you know who the master is? Do you dare to intervene in my team?"

The young man was embarrassed for a moment, and immediately became cheeky again, his eyes turned red with anger: "I, I don't... I don't know who you are, but even if the Jade Emperor is here, you have to queue up to buy things... ..."

"What? What nonsense are you talking about? I am the one who told you this!"

Qi Zhong's eyes were so angry that he didn't expect that the other party would dare to slander and beat him up.

"Young man, tsk. You look like a dog...ah no, you look like a man, why are you so self-willed? I was a girl in front of me just now, why did you become you? Or, are you just a bitch? ?Need me to let you?"

Hearing this, the young man turned pale and blue with anger.

Many spectators gathered around, even the young students in white who hadn't gone far in the two rows just now came to watch when they heard the movement.

Qi Zhong glanced at them, raised his chin, put his hips on his hips and said, "Hey, everyone has seen it, this person is too guilty to say anything."

"I've said it all, if it's true, you admit it, hey. I won't buy this flower cake, I'll give it to you, "girl"."

"Ah. That's enough! I, I don't want it anymore!" Unable to bear the pointing of the people around him, the young man broke down and uttered a high-pitched tone, wanting to curse Qi Zhong, but when he met his fierce eyes, he immediately Not daring to speak anymore, he ran away in despair.

Putting down his hands, Qi Zhong couldn't help but sneered: "You're used to it. I don't know what to do."

The crowd dispersed suddenly, and the last flower cake belonged to him.

Seeing the hazy sky, Qi Zhong secretly sighed in his heart that it's not good, maybe it's time to beat the curfew again.

Hurrying back, I walked to the riverside in two strokes.

Before reaching the bridgehead, Qi Zhong suddenly saw on the stone bridge by the river, the back of a tall and jade-like banished fairy, wearing a water-blue gown and carrying a high-quality fairy sword, standing indifferently. In the middle of the bridge, it stands out like a group of cranes.

After the hazy rain, the shimmer of light falling from the clouds made his aura around him as blue and green as a lake.

After paying so much attention, Qi Zhong concluded decisively: This clothes and temperament, at first glance, is not Changting's disciple of cultivating immortals.

Qi Zhong suddenly became interested, his tongue touched the roof of his mouth, and then he walked slowly towards the man.

While walking, he squinted his eyes and continued to observe the mysterious young man. He happened to see the special structure of the ring on his girdle, and realized that this man was not just a casual cultivator, but an introductory disciple of another sect in Shangjiang.

Reminiscent of the group of strange white-clothed students just now, and compared them secretly in his heart, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Qi Zhong's mouth: Tsk tsk, the one who is alone...just go and meet him!

He stepped up without hesitation, walked straight over, and when he was a few meters away from the man's back, he suddenly stopped.

Standing on the same spot, watching the man suddenly bowed respectfully, cupped his hands humbly, and asked the passerby in front of him: "Ma'am, please excuse me... Excuse me..."

He is polite, with a soft voice and a gentle attitude...

Although Qi Zhong didn't hear what he said clearly, he also understood that this person was asking for directions.

Hey, I'm an honest man, forget it, I won't bully a foreign boy like you.

With a dull look in his eyes, Qi finally dismissed his thoughts and prepared to pass by and continue on his way home.

But as soon as he turned around, his peripheral vision fell on the side of the man again.

It wasn't that he wanted to look at him, but a pickpocket set his sights on the man's pocket, lingered in the same place with evil intentions, and circled around him like a fly.

Qi Zhong saw through the thief's tricks at a glance, and hummed in a low voice: "How dare you openly steal in broad daylight, let's see if I won't catch you."

It's a pity that the man asked serious questions, and the bridge was full of traffic and noise, so he didn't notice it for a while.

Qi Zhong saw that the thief's hand had already reached the cloth around his waist, and he was a little annoyed: Idiot!Hurry up and look back, the money will be stolen!

Anxious for that idiot, Qi Zhong hurriedly yelled, "Hey! Idiot, someone stole your money!"

When Mu Yun heard the roar, he turned around and saw the pickpocket's stunned embarrassment.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes looked suspicious and innocent, as if he was still thinking about why this person stole his purse.

"Brother, please return the money bag to me."

After a moment of stalemate, Mu Yun sincerely extended his hand and asked the thief to return the money he got.

This operation made Qi Zhong, who was standing by the bridge with his arms folded, watching the play proudly, bewildered everyone.

Isn't it?Isn't it?

He didn't expect that after such a long time, that person not only failed to execute the thief on the spot, but also foolishly reasoned with the thief?

Couldn't help being speechless, the corners of Qi Zhong's mouth twitched: Tsk tsk, silly...

The thief was also confused by this man's speech and behavior, and it took him a long time to realize that he should run away immediately.

But as soon as he pulled his legs, Qi Zhong chased him quickly, grabbed his shoulders, held him firmly, and said ruthlessly: "Grandson! You have hands and feet, and you don't do your job properly. Do all these worthless things. Come on!" Give the money back to that idiot!"

Mu Yun stood there with an innocent face, with his hands hanging down, frowning slightly: Idiot?

"Did you hear me? Are you still pretending to be deaf?" Seeing that the man didn't respond, Qi finally exerted some strength, and the thief yelled in pain.

Immediately begged for mercy and threw the money bag on the ground.

Qi Zhong let go of him, bent down to pick up the delicate and heavy purse.

Then with a proud expression, Xu Bu walked towards Mu Yun. Qi Zhong's mouth was twitched with inexplicable joy, and he looked at the pure eyes of the person opposite him.

"Hey, your... ouch, I'll go, which bastard pushed me?"

Just as he was about to throw the money to that person, Qi Zhong was suddenly pushed from behind. In order to avoid falling into the opponent's arms, he hurriedly turned his feet and tried to stagger Mu Yun.

Unexpectedly, there was a rain at noon, which moistened the moss on the bridge. He just stepped on it, and he was about to lose his weight and fall into the river.

The flower cake that I finally bought also fell out, Qi Zhong yelled in his heart that it was not good, can it be eaten after soaking in water?

"Ah! My flower cake!"

He was impatient, and he didn't care to pull back his strength, so he jumped off the bridge and fell, trying to catch the jacquard cake back.

I thought it would make everyone wet.But suddenly there was a pulling force from his waist to pull him back. In a blink of an eye, Qi Zhong felt his toes tap the stone on the fence. Hua Gao, the two spun around in the air, and fell back to the bridge lightly.

Before Qi Zhong could react, the sequelae of weightlessness were still there, and his footsteps were frivolous and bent, which made him grab the clothes a little more firmly.

He swallowed, and thought: This guy is very skilled.

The moment they raised their heads, the eyes of the two just met.

With such a glance, the sky is so blue and the clouds are so white.

Looking at the handsome face under the blue sky and white clouds, Qi Zhong was speechless.

Seeing that person's eyes were deep but clear, with long eyeshadows hanging down suddenly.There was a gentle breeze on the bridge, blowing and lifting a few strands of blue hair around his ears, and the shimmer of light after the rain cast a light shadow on his tall nose bridge, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was hesitant to speak...

With a thump in his heart, Qi Zhong sighed angrily: Damn!So stupid, but so handsome!

The man also looked down suddenly, and his eyes fell into Qi Zhong's pupils, which coincided with the sad eyes in the dream, but now there was light in these eyes.

That pair of eyes sparkled like autumn water, and the charm of light clouds and breezy wind was not seductive but captivating. If any ordinary woman on the street was stared at so deeply by him, he would probably look back for a long time.

Wait, what kind of light fragrance is on him, so familiar... Qi Zhong was about to speak first, but when he was on the verge of speaking, he realized another strange thing, and frowned in confusion.

Passers-by who came and went cast strange glances at the two of them, noticing the intimacy of each other's postures, Qi Zhong suddenly regained consciousness, and hurriedly raised the purse in his hand: "Brother, your purse...uh, can you... Will you let me go first?"

Mu Yun also calmed down from the familiar feeling of seeing an old friend, let go gently, shyly turned his face slightly, and returned the things to him: "Your flower cake."
