[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

Among the spring grass and trees, among the faint green hills, a hut appeared in front of my eyes, the breeze with the moisture in the mountains gently brushed an old tree in front of the door, the branches were swaying, the leaves were falling and rustling.

Bai Yutang went up in two or three steps, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Master, Master..."

He called several times in a row, but no one answered, instead he knocked on the door.

"Huh?" Lian Qiao tilted her head to look, "Your mistress didn't close the door properly?"

"Most of the people in the town are simple and simple, and there are few people here, so it's common for people to sleep at night without closing the door." He explained, and pushed the door open.

"Miss, are you home?"

Seeing this, Lianqiao and Zhan Zhao immediately followed behind him.

The house in the courtyard was cleaned up very cleanly, and there was still tea on the table that was not yet fully cooled, obviously someone lived there.Bai Yutang worriedly walked around the large and small houses, and when he came back, he said to the three of them:

"We came suddenly, and we didn't write to her before, so we must not be at home."

Just as he was talking, the woodcutter passing by outside the door saw such a large group of people standing in the yard, so he tiptoed and asked:

"What? Looking for Ming Niang?"

"Yes." Bai Yutang laughed hurriedly, "Where is she?"

"I went down the mountain to buy something early in the morning, and I'm afraid I won't come back until the afternoon." He tightened the firewood on his shoulders, "Do you have anything to do with her? Sit down and rest for a while. If I meet her, I'll bring you one." talk."

"Okay, thank you."

Since his wife was not there, he had no choice but to wait, Bai Yutang pondered for a moment, and then greeted them, "Then sit down and take a stroll around, if you two want to live nearby, you should see in advance if this place suits you."

Zhan Zhao nodded in response.

The atmosphere in the mountains and forests is quiet, and it is spring again, and the surrounding flowers and plants have grown so fast that they can almost cover people's knees.

Zhan Zhao stood across the stream, holding Nian and pulling her to jump over.There are few people here, and looking around, there are many green hills hidden in dense fog, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and remembered some of the past.

"I heard that the scenery of Sichuan is very beautiful, it is really worth seeing once.

My father has always been nagging about it, saying that he will come to live here when he is no longer an official, and he will learn from Tao Yuanliang to plow the land and live a life of leisurely seeing Nanshan. "

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao was thoughtful.

Back then at Pinghu Mountain Villa, Yang Yi wanted to buy Zhuangzi for this reason.

"Then let's stay here." He held her hand and said with a faint smile, "If you feel bored after staying for a long time, you can go to Dali, Yunnan, or go to Juzhou to see the Baihe Waterfall."

"Okay." Nian Yi looked at him and smiled, "If we have time, shall we go for a walk on the grassland? I heard that in winter, the scenery on the grassland is very interesting."

"Okay." Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, "There are so many mountains and rivers in the world, you can go wherever you want."

Going further, there are fewer flowers at the feet, but more wild grasses. Taking advantage of the leisure time while sitting on the boulder to rest, Nian Yi picked up a few grass leaves from the grass beside him, hung his head in his hands and moved flexibly. Fold over.

Zhan Zhao looked at her quietly for a long while before asking her, "What is this for?"

"Be a butterfly." She replied with a smile.

"Butterfly?"

"Hmm... straw butterflies, I learned it from a ghoul a long time ago." As she spoke, her fingers fluttered up and down, and she was half done in a short while.

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Why do you make up this?"

"For Shi Yin." Nian Yi said with a smile, "It will be his birthday soon, I want to make up some more for him."

He couldn't help laughing: "Does he like this?"

"But I can't afford anything else." Nian Yi said helplessly, "Paper money, paper dolls, he doesn't need anything, so it's a kindness to do this."

Shi Yin really helped her a lot, Zhan Zhao was grateful in his heart, so he didn't say anything, and helped her pick out suitable weaving branches from the grass.

Outside the small forest in the backyard, bamboo leaves are flying all over the sky, and the smoke from burning is choking the nose.

The sun shines on the tombstone through the gaps in the treetops, soft and bright.

Bai Yutang squatted in front of the grave, took out a jug of fine wine, took a sip himself, and then dumped it horizontally on the ground.

Lian Qiao threw the paper money into the brazier one by one, and was so smoked that tears almost came out. She hurriedly threw away the remaining yellow paper, stood up with her mouth covered, and walked into the woods to get some air.

After a while, Bai Yutang was leaning against the tombstone and drinking thoughtfully, when he suddenly heard Lianqiao running out of the forest nervously.

"Yeah, did you know there's a grave over there!"

He swallowed his drink and sounded strange: "Impossible? I used to know this neighborhood very well. I don't remember that there are graves in this forest..."

Seeing what he said, Lian Qiao became nervous unconsciously, but at this time the wind started to blow again, only the sound of wind was heard in the quiet surroundings, so she quickly hid behind him.

"I gonna go see."

Bai Yutang made a gesture to get up.

"Don't go, what's so interesting about the grave..."

"If it's near here, it must have been built by my teacher's wife. If it's not clear, whoever died. I have to go and have a look."

Even though she was afraid, but seeing that he was determined to see what happened, and she didn't want to be alone, Lian Qiao had no choice but to follow up.

Not far from here, there is indeed a tomb. Because it is placed in a bamboo forest, the head of the tomb is covered with bamboo leaves.

The atmosphere was too silent, Lian Qiao carefully tugged at his sleeve.

"Let's go back. Look, I've said it all... This grave is probably just a wild grave, and there are no words on the stele."

"No, there are words." Bai Yutang frowned slightly, leaned over with his robe lifted, and gently brushed across the stone tablet.

Although there is nothing written on this tombstone at first glance, but when you touch it with your hands, it is clearly sunken, and it must have been carved by a very skilled craftsman.

"Is there? What is it?"

You can't see the words with your naked eyes, so you can only "read" them with your hands, which is equivalent to Braille. Bai Yutang frowned, touched it for a long time before saying:

"I don't know either, it seems... there is a word Gu."

Just as he was talking, the sound of the door opening and the sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard, he withdrew his hand, and looked back at the same time as Lian Qiao.

"It must be that my teacher's wife is back, let's go."

"Oh."

Nian Yi and Zhan Zhao heard the sound and walked towards this side. When they raised their eyes, they saw a woman standing in front of the courtyard. She was about 40 years old, with a slender figure, holding a vegetable basket in her hand. Maybe she didn't expect it. There will be so many people visiting, and the expression is quite surprised.

"Master!" Bai Yutang led Forsythia out of the backyard with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing him, the woman's expression softened immediately, she nodded and said softly: "It turns out that Yutang is back."

"It's been a while since I came to Sichuan." Bai Yutang walked up to her, "How is Mistress?"

"Very well, I'm very well." The woman stroked his cheek, with a glimmer of light in her eyes, "Why don't you say anything..."

"I left in a hurry, and I forgot."

Listening to the two of them talking to each other, Lian Qiao just stared at the woman's face in amazement.

As Bai Yutang said, she looks very similar to Nian Yi.Although the beauty is old now, the expression between her eyebrows and eyes is exactly the same. It can be imagined that if the time is pushed back 20 years, she must be almost the same as Nian Yi.

When Lian Qiao turned her head, Zhan Zhao and Nian Yi were also staring at her, the surprise in their eyes was self-evident.

Finally noticing that there were some unfamiliar people nearby, the woman looked around and said with a smile, "These people are..."

"They're all my friends." Bai Yutang didn't explain much, "The two of them are going to find a secluded place in the mountains to live, so I'm here to disturb you."

"That's good, we have few people here, and there are many places in the mountains." The woman looked at Nian and smiled, "I'll go and ask you if I have time."

After finishing speaking, he said melancholy: "There are so many people, you didn't tell me in advance, I only bought some melons and fruits when I went down the mountain this morning... I will go buy a chicken."

She really turned around to leave, Nian Yi hurriedly said:

"No need, don't bother."

"We eat casually." Zhan Zhao also echoed, "It's good to have food."

"How about that, you are guests..."

"Why not?" Lian Qiao smiled and shook her head, "We didn't find an inn to sleep in the wilderness along the way, and the cold steamed buns with wild vegetables are still delicious."

"This……"

She was still hesitating, but Bai Yutang hurriedly pushed her inside, "Okay, okay, don't be so polite to them, let's go inside and drink tea, I'm dying of thirst."

The woman boiled the stove, took a small piece of tea cake and threw it in, and waited for the tea to be boiled before serving it up one by one.

"There is no good tea in the mountain village and small town, so I can only use this to entertain a few people."

"Ma'am, you're welcome." Zhan Zhao took the tea and thanked him with a smile. When he lowered his head to drink, he saw that Nian Yi was still looking at her in a daze from the corner of his eyes, so he couldn't help coughing lightly.

Nianyi looked away, hesitated for a moment holding the tea leaves on his lips, and then asked her again:

"I don't know what to call Madam?"

"My surname is Ming." The woman handed the fruit to Forsythia, and replied with a smile, "The single name is Yang. Since you are friends of Yutang, you can call me Aunt Ming."

Bai Yutang nodded, then raised his eyebrows and said to Lianqiao, "You can also call me Master."

The latter was slightly puzzled: "Why?"

Ming Yang saw it in his eyes, lowered his head and sipped his tea, smiled without saying a word.

After chatting for a while, Bai Yutang suddenly remembered something.

"correct."

He put down his teacup, "Why is there an extra grave in our small bamboo forest?"

Ming Yang paused in his hands, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It's an old friend of mine... who passed away ten years ago."

He has been dead for such a long time. He was a teacher at the age of 14, and he doesn't come back here often. Even if he comes, he just pays homage to the master, and never notices the grave.

"Who is it? Can I recognize it?"

"You... don't recognize it."

Bai Yutang thought about the weirdness of the tombstone, and said, "Is that man surnamed Gu? Why didn't he even engrave the inscription properly?"

Hearing this, Nian Yi was taken aback, almost at the same time he looked up at Zhan Zhao, who frowned slightly and shook his head at her as a signal.

Unexpectedly, he would go to see the tombstone, Ming Yang seemed a little flustered, he hesitated and said: "This is what he meant before he died, he didn't want people to know that he was buried here..." Not wanting to continue this topic, she Looking for something else, he said, "Have you gone to see your master?"

"I've seen it, and the money was burned."

"That's good." Ming Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Second Brother Han also came during Qingming. I asked him about you, and he said you went to Kaifeng."

"Yes." Bai Yutang laughed, "Go find someone."

The following words were nothing more than trivial matters, and there were no other clues, so she must be avoiding them deliberately, Nian Yi sighed and doubted in his heart.

The author has something to say: finally coming! ! !

The transition is over, and the next chapter will reveal the secrets of the drama 50 years ago! !
