I want to live, get married

Liu'er pointed to the direction of the villa and said: "Turn left to the gate, which is flat and open; turn right to the back door path, with winding roads. But it's still early in the morning, the gate must not be open, I will take you to sneak in through the back door. "

"What!", Liu Yanhan asked in surprise: "Can't go in openly, do you still need to slip?"

"Of course, early in the morning, whoever opens the door for you can only sneak in."

A group of people went to the back door of the villa, but saw a row of sparse fences covered with vines and a simple wooden door.

Look around to see if there are any pedestrians passing by, and make sure everything is safe.

Liu'er said to everyone: "This is the back door, there is no high wall and courtyard, it is easy to sneak in... We children usually come here to play, and this is the place to sneak in."

After finishing speaking, Liu'er fiddled with a dense vine, pushing away the weeds in front of him, and saw a big hole in a fence, just big enough for a person to crawl through. .

"Follow me, come in here! Hurry up..." Due to his thin body, Liu'er bore the brunt of getting in, and in the blink of an eye, he entered the backyard of the Xijiao Villa.

Standing in the fence, he waved his arms to his master, He Qingqing, and Liu Yanhan, and said softly, "Come in quickly! What are you still doing?"

"This..." Looking at the hole in the fence that is only half a person high, Ma Langzhong said with embarrassment: "The tricks of climbing over walls and tiles, drilling holes and climbing trees, I am half a hundred people, why do I want to do this?" Something? Sigh... it's out of place!

In the end, he complained to his apprentice with a look of disgust: "Why did you tell me to lead the way to find a pond? After finding such a poor place, you are too unreliable to do things."

"Oh... Master, don't complain, old man, this is the nearest place to find a pond, so you can come in with confidence! No one will see it, so don't be ashamed."

Glancing at the hole in the fence again, Ma Langzhong was still hesitating, "This..." He hesitated to make a move.

He Qingqing on the side saw it in his eyes and sneered in his heart. He didn't expect that a bad gambler would do many immoral things such as cheating and cheating. I don't know what he thinks.

"Come on, senior Ma please invite first!" With a gentle smile on his face, He Qingqing raised his hand to welcome Ma Langzhong.

"Today, Senior Rauma condescended to play this little boy's trick."

"This..." Although it was reluctant, it was also helpless.

"Hi..." Ma Lang sighed secretly.

He had no choice but to lift up his outer robe and tie it around his waist, bend his stiff old waist with difficulty, and use both hands and feet to forcefully slip through the hole in the fence.

He Qingqing followed closely behind, ready to crawl into the fence, Liu Yanhan subconsciously held her by the corner of her clothes from behind, and carefully told her: "Be careful with your feet, don't fall."

Seeing the nervous and concerned expression of the person in front of him, He Qingqing turned her head and narrowed her eyes, smiled happily, raised her hand and patted the tightly clenched hand of the person to indicate that she was fine.

He also said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry! Although I was in poor health when I was young, I did a lot of things secretly when I went to the house to expose the roof tiles. The trivial matter of digging through the dog's hole in the fence will not trouble me."

"Come in with me!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling Liu Yanhan to follow closely.

I don't know whether the trip to seek medicine in Xinggang Town was lucky or unlucky, but at this moment, it turned out to be with He Qingqing, digging through the fence in the backyard of a villa that I don't know.

"Alas...", Liu Yanhan could only sigh helplessly, and leaned over to follow.

After tossing for a while, the group finally crossed the fence and entered the villa.

Walk a few more steps and head north, gradually flat and wide, with flying buildings on both sides, carved and painted buildings, all hidden among the treetops of the mountain depression.

"Clatter..." Suddenly I heard the water flow.

When he first entered the villa, He Qingqing looked around and couldn't help sighing: "It really is a place of geomantic omen, Liu'er, you have led the way really well. The "Iron Armored General" invited here must be very powerful."

On the way, he was constantly complained by his master, and finally got a little praise, so Liu'er was naturally full of joy.

He proudly said to Ma Langzhong: "Look, master, Mr. He said this is a good place, and you just kept complaining about your apprentice leading the way blindly."

The words were correct, but Ma Langzhong couldn't hold back his face, he waved impatiently for Liu'er to move forward quickly, "Hurry up and lead the way, noisy."

Master's face turned dark again, Liu'er naturally didn't dare to play games, and trotted forward in a hurry.

He led everyone in the huge backyard of the villa, and turned a few corners nine times and eighteen times. Fortunately, it was still early, and he didn't bump into any housekeepers along the way, so he arrived at the northeast corner of the backyard very smoothly.

"It's right there, behind the bamboo forest!" Liu'er raised his finger and pointed not far away to remind everyone in a low voice.

Looking up, as Liuer said, there is a pond indistinctly exposed behind a row of dense small bamboo forests. It seems that there is a pond of lotus leaves in it. I think it must be a good place for "lotus leaves are infinitely green" in summer. view.

But it was snowing at this time, and the forests were covered with white dew and frost everywhere. The lotus flowers, lotus leaves, and lotus pods in that pond had long withered and withered, leaving only a few shriveled bunches of lotus pods and a few dried lotus leaves standing in yellow. In the cold and bleak winter wind.

The water in the pond has also dried up due to the lack of rain in winter, leaving only some shallow puddles and a pool of mud, all of which are covered by hoarfrost.

Everyone pushed aside the barrier of bamboo leaves, passed through the gap in the forest, and came to the side of the pond.

Ma Langzhong looked into the dark and muddy pond, "Young Master He, I have found this pond. Please, General Tiejia, will give you full authority to give instructions."

"That's right... Mr. He, tell me..." Liu'er was also at the side and asked with the teacher's words: "What is this iron armored general! You have to find a pond! Is it possible that you want Can you ask the Dragon King to do it?"

Seeing Ma Langzhong's anxious anticipation and Liu'er's curious face, He Qingqing deliberately put on a calm expression that said don't panic and everything is under control.

Reply calmly: "I would like to ask the Dragon King, it's not like asking for rain in a drought, but what Liu'er said is almost close. The "Iron Armored General" recorded in the He family's handbook lives in the pond. I must have seen it when I played here."

"Really!" These words made Liu'er even more curious, "Young Master He, please tell me."

"It's the bastard we usually see!" He Qingqing said solemnly.

"Wang... bastard...", the answer was unexpected, Liu'er was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and then he almost let out a "puchi" laugh as if he had heard some big joke.

Ma Langzhong was at a loss when he heard this, he searched for the way and climbed the fence, after a long time he was busy looking for a bastard.

"This... General Tiejia... how could he be a bastard!" Ma Langzhong was puzzled.

"This thing, doesn't it usually call people bastards or something? Please can it change luck? Impossible?"

Seeing the expressions of the master and the apprentice in front of him, He Qingqing said with disgust: "Look at you, look at the ignorance of each of you, you don't know something! The bastard is a tortoise! ​​Since ancient times, there has been a long life and happiness. It means that it is a thing of great auspiciousness, but it was ruined by those ignorant people who later spread rumors and ruined the reputation..."

On the other hand, Ma Langzhong and Liu'er listened to He Qingqing's explanation honestly, showing a thirst for knowledge.

She continued: "There is also the ancient holy beast Xuanwu that looks like a turtle and snake. The northern Xuanwu is a hurdle in the eight trigrams, and water in the five elements. Water is a wealth-gathering thing. It is said by merchants that you will grow when you see water, and it is still in the shop." This is the reason for offering feng shui fish."

"Oh... so there is another saying..." Liu'er murmured while listening.

"Besides, this is the secret technique of asking for luck recorded in the letters of my ancestors of the He family. How could it not be effective after being passed down by the descendants of the He family for so long? It's just that you outsiders don't know the secrets and self-defeating. So, senior Ma, you want to ask for luck, It must be this armored general! It’s not the rags and irons you asked to wear first, do you understand!”

"Yes, yes, yes..." At this point, Ma Langzhong scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and laughed.

Repeatedly echoed: "What Mr. He said is very true, it is because the old man has short-sightedness."

Hearing He Qingqing speak so eloquently, Ma Langzhong couldn't hold back any longer, wishing to say that the wind is the rain, but there was a problem in front of him that stopped him.

In such a cold day, who is in the muddy pond?

Ma Langzhong looked worriedly at the dark pond in front of him. There were still some thin pieces of broken ice hanging on the mud at the bottom of the pond. He didn't even need to think about how exciting it would be to step into it.

"Oh...it's freezing cold, this old man can't help it..." He stuffed his hands into his cuffs with a look of embarrassment.

He also asked He Qingqing: "Young Master He, do you have to go down to the pond to catch some bastards?

It's just an animal, let's find a place to buy and sell flowers and birds, and just buy one now, why bother..."

As he spoke, he looked at the muddy water in the pond.

"That can't be done..." He Qingqing directly denied it with a wave of his hand.

She said: "The Iron Armored General can only be hired, and the ones bought with money are not counted..."
