Gold sparring [Comprehensive + Sword III]

The shopkeepers in the building outside the building went home to reunite with their families one after another as early as the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, so on New Year's Eve, the busiest restaurant in the city also closed its doors.

According to the usual practice in previous years, they have to rest from New Year's Eve to Shangyuan to complete the year.

But this year Ji Bingyan made another choice.

Ji Bingyan said that if they were willing to come back to work together on the seventh day of the first lunar month, they would get four times the usual wages until Shangyuan.

For most of the people working in the restaurant, quadruple the wages was an irresistible temptation, so they finally agreed to the proposal after discussing it.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, when Ji Bingyan casually mentioned this matter at the dinner table, Hu Tiehua was startled.

Hu Tiehua said: "Four times the salary! Is it really not a loss?"

Ji Bingyan immediately gave him a supercilious look: "Don't settle if you don't get it."

Hu Tiehua: "???"

Ye Weixing hadn't seen them pinch each other for a long time, now that he revisited the scene of cats and dogs fighting, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips to persuade Hu Tiehua: "Don't worry about this, how can such a stingy old Ji lose money?" Business."

Hu Tiehua thought about it and thought it made sense, but just as he was about to nod, he remembered another question.

He said: "But the building outside the building is yours, not his, and losing money is also losing your money."

This level of mutual choking could not have been more frequent in the three of them growing up, but Ji Bingyan's veins were throbbing when he heard it.

He almost blurted out how he could cheat her of money, but when he met Ye Weixing's eyes full of spectators at the moment, he swallowed it back.

Seeing that he didn't refute, Hu Tiehua became even more excited.

He moved the stool, sat next to Ye Weixing, and said in a particularly exaggerated tone: "Let me tell you, Lao Ye, you really have to be careful."

Ji Bingyan: "..."

Ye Weixing bent his eyes and nodded cooperatively: "Yeah, I will."

Ji Bingyan became even more angry.

Just when he was thinking about using the last steamed bun on the plate in front of him to gag Hu Tiehua's mouth, Chu Liuxiang, who had personally taken care of the child all night, just came over.

Chu Liuxiang came to get food. He said that the child was awake, but it might be because he hadn't eaten for a long time, and he was very weak at the moment.

"He saw me and wanted to run away." Having said that, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help frowning, "But with his current physical strength, I'm afraid he can't run back to that mountain safely, so I pressed his acupoints. "

When Ye Weixing heard it, he found that the situation was even worse than what Chu Liuxiang said last night, so he couldn't help but pay more attention, and said, "I'll go take a look with you."

Chu Liuxiang nodded: "OK."

Considering that the child was still young and hadn't eaten for a long time, Chu Liuxiang finally took a small bowl of rice porridge back.

On the way there, Ye Weixing asked him: "Have you figured out what to do with this child?"

Chu Liuxiang said not yet, but he made a new discovery this morning.

Ye Weixing: "What?"

Chu Liuxiang: "The identity of this child should not be simple. His clothes look old, but the materials are very special."

"How special?"

"If I'm not mistaken, his clothes are made of a kind of silk cloth donated by Nanjiang every year." He paused before continuing, "This kind of cloth is very rare, even in the homes of princes and nobles in the capital. have."

Ye Weixing was startled: "So expensive?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded: "Yes, because even with the strength of the entire southern border, we can only get five bolts of this kind of cloth a year."

Ye Weixing never thought that the clothes on this child had such a background, which made her even more puzzled.

Because such precious fabrics must be controlled by the emperor, and they must be rewarded to his favorite concubines or courtiers who have made great contributions.

And how could concubines and courtiers who could receive such rewards have anything to do with a child who couldn't speak at the age of four or five, and whose living habits were no different from those of wild animals?

While speaking, the two had already walked to the door of the child's room.

Chu Liuxiang said: "Anyway, let him eat first before talking. I think he can somewhat understand me even though he resists my approach."

Ye Weixing hummed, and raised his hand to push the door open for him.

As soon as the door was pushed open, she was stunned by a scene that greeted her eyes.

The lamps, tables and chairs in the room were tilted here and there, and the utensils were scattered all over the floor. The gauze curtain on the bed had a big hole, and it was hanging there like a typhoon.

Ye Weixing: "???"

Chu Liuxiang was a little embarrassed: "He was very irritable when he just woke up, otherwise I wouldn't have tapped his acupuncture points."

Ye Weixing: "...I know he is irritable, but I really didn't expect him to be so irritable."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a fierce gaze shooting at her through the crumbling veil.

It seems that what Chu Liuxiang said is true. Although this child regards himself as a beast, he can understand human speech.

Being able to understand human language meant that before Chu Liuxiang, he hadn't been in contact with other humans at all.

Thinking of this, Ye Weixing was more concerned about his identity.

She took a few steps forward and said, "You feed him porridge first."

After finishing speaking, I have to reach out to push aside those gauze curtains that get in the way.

Without the obstruction of those two layers of veil, the child's appearance and eyes were more clearly reflected in her eyes.

The next moment, she paused.

Chu Liuxiang, who noticed this detail, was a little concerned: "What's wrong?"

Ye Weixing said in a complicated mood: "I'm not mistaken, are his eyes a little green?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded: "Yes, it's the same as his hair."

Ye Weixing: "..." Well, she thinks she knows who this is.

Growing up in the mountains and forests, he is agile, treats himself as a beast, and resists contact with people. In addition, his eyes and hair have a little green color that is different from ordinary people.

In all the martial arts novels, there is only one person who fits all of them, and that is the future fourth disciple of Zhuge Shenhou, the fourth master Leng of the Shenhou Mansion, Leng Xue.

While Chu Liuxiang was struggling to feed Leng Xue porridge, Ye Weixing carefully recalled the content of the novels he had read.

Thanks to her good memory, after traveling for more than three years, she was able to recall little by little the experience of the future god catcher mentioned in the book.

The more she recalled, the more certain she was of her guess.

And counting Zhuge Shenhou's age at this time, it is almost right.

Thinking of this, Ye Weixing's mood became more complicated.

She felt that Chu Liuxiang's ability to pick up children was really awesome, but unfortunately at this moment, she could only swallow this compliment back to her stomach.

Probably because she noticed that she was looking at him strangely. During the whole process of eating porridge, her cold-blooded eyes never moved away from Ye Weixing.

When Ye Weixing came back to his senses, he met the child's vigilant and curious eyes.

After thinking about it, she parted her lips and smiled at him.

Cold-blooded: "...?"

He blinked in confusion, and after a while, imitated her movement and twitched the corners of his lips.

However, he had probably never laughed before, so it seemed a little strange to talk about it.

Ye Weixing was stunned for a moment by this "rote" imitation, and after a while, she couldn't help but raised her hand to touch the little guy's face.

When she stretched out her hand, Leng Xue instinctively tightened her body, and when her fingertips touched the dimple on his face, his gaze returned to the previous fierceness, as if to scare her hand away.

Ye Weixing didn't want him to continue tensing up, so he withdrew his hand and sighed, "You really look like a little wolf cub."

Chu Liuxiang, who was blowing porridge for Leng Xue, paused when he heard the movement, and then laughed loudly: "Then why don't we call him little wolf cub first?"

Ye Weixing nodded: "Okay, let's call it that."

Afterwards, she told the other people in Hidden Sword Villa about this title, and got another wave of approval, especially Hu Tiehua who chased the cold-blooded half a mountain with Chu Liuxiang back then.

Hu Tiehua said: "That's right, he really looks like a wolf, and he looks even more like a wolf when he runs!"

Song Tian'er: "Then can I call him Brother Wolf?"

She was originally the youngest one in the current Hidden Sword Villa, but now that Chu Liuxiang has picked up the younger one, it can be regarded as letting her experience the addiction of being an older sister.

Ye Weixing couldn't laugh or cry when he heard that, he rubbed her head and said, "It's done, just call like that."

Song Tian'er: "Great!"

After cheering, the girl hopped towards the kitchen, saying that she was going to cook a New Year's Eve dinner for everyone.

Ye Weixing knew that she had learned a lot from the masters in Zhuangzhong in the past six months, and also knew that she really enjoyed the process of cooking, so he didn't stop her, just let her do what she could, and don't tire herself out.

Song Tian'er heard the words, turned her head and made a face at her, and said, "I know! Sister Ye, don't worry!"

She should have agreed, but she stayed in the kitchen for the rest of the day and didn't come out until evening.

She also came out with a master who was called by Ji Bingyan from the building outside the building.

The chef told Ye Weixing that the dishes on the table tonight were almost all Miss Tian'er's idea.

Of course, in order not to tire Miss Tian'er, the servants in the kitchen did all the work of washing and chopping vegetables.

Hu Tiehua was speechless, and said to Song Tian'er, "I haven't seen you for half a year, so you're so good?"

Song Tian'er hummed like Ye Weixing, saying that I was already very good.

After saying this, she glanced at the people in this hall again, blinked and said, "That's right, where is Brother Wolf, won't he eat with us?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of a group of people all focused on Chu Liuxiang who brought Leng Xue back.

But Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said, "He...he doesn't like to be in contact with people very much. I'll just take some to his room later."

Song Tian'er let out a disappointment, and said that's fine.

"Brother Chu, remember to take a piece of this." She pointed to the plate of crystal cakes in the middle of the table, "I made one piece for each person."

Chu Liuxiang looked along her hand, and found that it was really like this, one piece was not too much, and the other was not too little.

He smiled immediately: "Okay, I remember."

At this time, he didn't expect that the vicious little wolf cub who resisted contact with people would kneel under Song Tian'er's hand.

Considering that the wound on his foot is still not healed and he is still weak, Chu Liuxiang still chooses very light food for him.

As for the piece of crystal cake, it should be a dessert after dinner.

Song Tian'er was looking forward to this wolf brother's evaluation of her cooking skills, so as soon as Chu Liuxiang got up, she jumped off the stool and followed.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't hold back the little girl's "Brother Chu left and right" and could only nod her head in agreement: "Okay, okay, let's come together, but remember not to get too close to him, or you will scare him."

After the two rounds of feeding in the morning and at noon, now when facing Chu Liuxiang, although Leng Xue is still very wary, at least he is willing to cooperate with opening his mouth to eat.

Chu Liuxiang felt that the progress was not easy, and she didn't want to start all over again, so when she took Song Tian'er with her, she couldn't help but give instructions twice more.

Song Tian'er: "I know, I know, Brother Chu, don't worry, I just want to see if he likes it or not!"

Chu Liuxiang stretched out his hand to push the door.

With the sound of creaking, the person on the bed opened his eyes almost instantly and looked towards them.

Chu Liuxiang took a deep breath like before and walked forward, saying, "Eat something before resting."

He lowered his eyes, glanced over the things in Chu Liuxiang's hands, and finally fixed on the crystal clear crystal cake, as if he was confused about what it was.

Although he didn't regard himself as a human being so far, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help explaining to him when she saw this, saying that it was a kind of pastry.

But judging from his reaction, he probably doesn't know what pastries are.

Chu Liuxiang was not surprised, she helped him up a bit, and then put a small spoonful of fish porridge to his mouth.

Leng Xue sniffed it, and opened his mouth without much hesitation.

As soon as he ate the porridge, his expression changed, becoming both surprised and joyful, while hiding a trace of innocence.

It wasn't until this moment that Chu Liuxiang discovered that he was not only good at acting fierce.

He smiled and turned back to Song Tian'er who was sitting at the table and said: "It seems that he likes what you made very much."

Song Tian'er was very happy: "Really!"

As soon as she was happy, she forgot what Chu Liuxiang had told her, jumped up and ran to the bedside, took up the crystal cake and fed it to Leng Xue's mouth, and said, "Brother wolf, try this, I will learn from the kitchen master." It's been a long time!"

Chu Liuxiang originally wanted to stop it, but when she lowered her head, what she saw was the picture of Leng Xue biting it without hesitation.

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

It seems that even a wolf cub depends on food.

Under Song Tian'er's feeding, Leng Xue quickly ate up the small piece of crystal cake.

Probably because he felt that he was still unsatisfied, after eating, he licked his lower lip like a wolf, sucking in all the sweetness before giving up.

In Song Tian'er's eyes, this appearance is a great compliment.

So in the following time, she simply took over Chu Liuxiang's job.

Unlike Chu Liuxiang, she could tell Leng Xue what it is called and what it is made of while feeding it, and asked him with bright eyes, "Do you think it tastes good?"

Leng Xue wanted to nod at first, but he couldn't move his head because of Chu Liuxiang's acupuncture point, and he felt aggrieved immediately.

At the end of the grievance, he howled at Song Tian'er like a wolf.

Song Tian'er exclaimed in shock: "Oh my God, why is he so cute..."

After finishing speaking, he went to pull Chu Liuxiang's sleeve and begged him: "Brother Chu, otherwise you can untie his acupoints, I think he hasn't eaten enough, why not bring him over to eat with us, I can feed him."

Chu Liuxiang thought about it, and felt that it was not impossible.

One is that he doesn't reject Song Tian'er at all, and the other is that there are so many masters in the flower hall, and Ye Weixing is there, even if he wants to run, he can't get anywhere.

Finally, on a day like New Year's Eve, when everyone else in the Hidden Sword Villa gathered to eat happily, it would be really pitiful if he was still lying in the room with acupuncture points like this.

All in all, Chu Liuxiang finally unlocked his acupuncture points.

But he didn't let the little wolf cub go to the ground, because the injury on his leg hadn't healed yet.

Just like that, he carried him to the flower hall where a group of people had New Year's Eve dinner.

During this period, Song Tian'er kept talking about what delicious food she had cooked, which caused the other party to be very obedient in his arms. Not to mention that she didn't struggle at all, her eyes were brighter than before.

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

It seems that it's not that my affinity is not good, but that I haven't found the right direction.

Ye Weixing and Hu Tiehua were also surprised when they saw him hug him.

Hu Tiehua stared and said: "Is this kid not running away?"

Chu Liuxiang explained with a smile: "He likes Tian'er's cooking very much."

After finishing speaking, put the person next to Song Tian'er and sit down.

Ye Weixing: "???"

Forgive her for not thinking that things would turn out like this? !

However, no matter how surprised they were, Leng Xue's attitude towards them had really changed.

No matter what, this is a good thing, Ye Weixing thought.

Although she knew that he would be able to grow up if he returned to the forest in cold blood, but he would adapt to human society a little later.

But now that his legs are not in good condition, it is more appropriate to stay in Hidden Sword Villa safely.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the three little girls took Chu Liuxiang and said they wanted to swim in the lake.

Chu Liuxiang had been away for more than half a year, and she felt a little sorry in her heart, so she nodded when they begged her.

Ye Weixing immediately said, "Then bring my two apprentices with me."

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Should we also bring the little wolf cub?"

Ye Weixing and Hu Tiehua said in unison: "Yes, yes, bring it."

Chu Liuxiang didn't resist the matter of raising a child, but when he turned his eyes from the friends in the flower hall, he suddenly thought of Ji Bingyan's refraining from talking about it.

So he thought it would be best to take Hu Tiehua and Yidianhong away together, and create a chance for Ji Bingyan.

Now Yidianhong teaches her three younger sisters swordsmanship every day, and she has developed feelings for them, but she agrees without much hesitation, but Hu Tiehua refuses desperately.

Hu Tiehua said: "I can't bring a child, it's better to drink with Lao Ye and Lao Ji here."

Chu Liuxiang said again: "..."

He looked at Ji Bingyan, and his eyes probably said, I'm sorry, I really can't help you any more, so please ask for blessings.

Afterwards, he and Yidianhong took a large group of children to go on a night tour of the West Lake, while Ye Weixing and the three started drinking around the stove.

The wine is the sake that Hu Tiehua brought back from Fusang, and the taste is indeed somewhat different from that of the Central Plains.

After three cups, Hu Tiehua started his bragging mode.

Ye Weixing and Ji Bingyan knew his character very well, they didn't believe him at all, they just responded indiscriminately.

It may be because he didn't regard Ye Weixing as a girl at the beginning of the acquaintance, but later on, he actually talked about the Goulanyuan on the side of Fusang vividly.

Hearing this, Ji Bingyan couldn't help frowning: "Can't you say something good?"

Hu Tiehua immediately leaned over and put his arms around his shoulders, and said, "What's wrong with this, didn't the four of us go there before?"

What he was talking about was the time when they went to the south of the Yangtze River leisurely all the way to ask for wine.

Ye Weixing remembered that it was in Luzhou, and she was the initiator. She said that she was really curious and wanted to take a look.

Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua had no objections. As for Ji Bingyan, even though all three of them said they would go, they didn't continue to sing the opposite.

In the end, they went to the most famous brothel in Luzhou City.

Ye Weixing was very disappointed, in what she said at the time - in such a big brothel, there is no one comparable to Ji Bingyan, it seems that Luzhou's Goulan industry is over.

This blurted out made Ji Bingyan's face turn black instantly, and it also made Hu Tiehua laugh for three full days.

Ye Weixing spoke uprightly: "I'm serious!"

So when Hu Tiehua mentioned this matter in front of the two of them, Ji Bingyan frowned even deeper.

Ji Bingyan said coldly: "Go drink your wine."

Hu Tiehua is disrespectful when he drinks, and it's the same this time.

The more ugly Ji Bingyan's expression was, the more he wanted to poke him a few more times to see if he would explode.

Hu Tiehua said: "But to be honest, the old bedbug and I were in the fence of Fusang, and we didn't see an oiran lady who was prettier than you. It seems that Lao Ye was really right."

Ji Bingyan went crazy: "Shut up."

Hu Tiehua: "I'm not praising you."

Seeing that the long-lost couple was about to start a fight again, Ye Weixing hurriedly refilled them with wine, and said to Hu Tiehua, "Have a drink, and if you continue talking, he will beat you."

Hu Tiehua didn't take it seriously: "He can't beat me again."

Ye Weixing clicked his tongue, his eyes rolled, and he tilted his head and asked, "Then what if I'm added?"

Hu Tiehua: "????" Wait, isn't this a bit of a foul?

At this time, the eyes of the two people opposite were focused on her, and she took a sip of wine before saying solemnly: "Old Ji is my chief manager, I can't help you bully him together."

Hu Tiehua: "..."

Well, for the Chinese New Year, he really doesn't want to be blown to Wushan by the wind.
