Li Sanwazi sat alone on the stone bench, staring at the flowers and plants in the garden in a daze without blinking, and had not said a word since the old man who watched the door entered the backyard to tell the master. I wanted to comfort him again, but looking back, I finally came here, and no matter how much I comforted him, his heart would not be able to calm down. At this moment, the only reason that can make Li Sanwazi's heart settle is to inquire about the news of Miss Xiaowen.

After a while, I saw that the backyard was lit up with a withered yellow light, and after a while, the hall in the front yard was also lit with oil lamps. It seems that the owner's family has gone directly from the backyard to the front yard hall. Immediately afterwards, the door of the hall was opened by the old man who had gone around the courtyard before, and walked out quickly. Immediately, I saw another figure standing in the hall, who must have been the owner of this family.

The old man came to us and said with a smile, "When our lord heard that there was a guest, he got up in a hurry, and now let me invite you into the living room to talk." After that, the old janitor made a gesture of invitation, Li Sanwa stood up and walked in with me, and the old janitor sent us to the door of the living room, and greeted the master inside, and then turned and went back.

When I looked closely, the owner was also a young and not small old man, about sixty-seven years old, wearing an off-white horse coat, wearing a thin and thin body, but his face was red, and his spirit was very sufficient. Before Li Sanwazi and I could speak first, the host walked forward with a smile and bowed his hand: "Hehe, I didn't expect to meet guests at this time, but it's really a rare guest!" ”

"My name is Li Ergou, this is my friend Li Sanwazi, we are here for his business this time, so there is a lot of trouble." I briefly explained who we were, and respectfully bowed to the old man. The old man's eyes lit up, he looked at me deeply, smiled and nodded, and then looked at Li Sanwazi, Li Sanwazi also hurriedly and bluntly bowed his hand, in fact, these red tape, if I am not a doer, I am afraid that I will not be.

The old man immediately smiled heartily: "The old man's surname is Ye, and his ancestors have some land, so he has been living in seclusion in the mountains, but he also wants to be quiet and comfortable." Please, Mr. Ergou is a cultivator, right? I can already see from the number of etiquette you have when you enter the door, you are an authentic Taoist person! Ha ha...... Our family is really full of brilliance, has been seekers looking for immortals, I don't want to really look forward to the Daomen Gao Zhen today, fortunately, please sit! ”

"Huh? This...... Uncle Ye is really tormenting the younger generation, the younger generation is getting shallow to enter the Daomen, but he is still pierced by Uncle Ye at a glance, it can be seen that Uncle Ye is also a person who is destined for the Daomen, maybe the younger generation's Taoism is not as good as Uncle Ye! "I looked at this old Mr. Ye with some surprise, and I have to say that from his complexion, words and deeds, it is not difficult to see that he must be an old cultivator who is well versed in self-cultivation, even if he is not an old cultivator, he should be proficient in some health preservation methods.

Master has said that anyone like this may be a master, and they like to hide deeply. Well, I can't casually lose the face of the master and his old man, no matter whether this old Mr. Ye is a hidden master or not, I have to be the same as before, and the number of etiquette I should do is not less at all. Seeing that I was so restrained, Mr. Ye suddenly laughed again: "Ergou Xiaoyou don't have to be stubborn, if you think I'm a hidden master, then you really look away, I'm just an ordinary banker, and I have some family background." ”

Seeing that Mr. Ye invited me again, I had to sit down cautiously. After a while, the old man who guarded the door brought tea, and before he left, Mr. Ye immediately ordered: "Ergou Xiaoyou is a distinguished guest, go and inform Madame and Miss that they are all up, prepare some good wine and food, I will entertain Ergou Xiaoyou." By the way, there's also this ...... Three baby friends, hehe! ”

When he saw Li Sanwazi, Mr. Ye seemed to look at it twice. At this time, Li Sanwazi seemed to be eager to inquire about Miss Xiaowen, and when she heard Mr. Ye's words, she hurriedly got up and bowed awkwardly. It seems that what Mr. Ye said, he didn't listen to it at all. After the old man left, Mr. Ye said with a smile: "I have already told me about your affairs, the old housekeeper has told me, you are here to look for relatives in the mountains, alas, to talk about it, there are almost no people living in this big mountain, and most of them have moved outside the mountain." Don't be in a hurry, let's have two drinks later, you can also press the dust on your body, and don't be in a hurry to talk slowly, and besides, it's so late now, even if you ask, don't you have to go again tomorrow morning? ”

"Huh! Or Uncle Ye is thoughtful, indeed, this search for relatives is extraordinary, if the etiquette is not careful, I am afraid of making people laugh. I responded politely. Instead, I hurriedly glanced at the depressed Li Sanwazi, who suddenly raised his head in surprise, looked at me for some reason, and then nodded heavily. Mr. Ye and I glanced at each other, both smiling wryly and shaking our heads.

I'm really tired, not just tired, but hungry. In the past two days, Li Sanwazi and I have been on the road, or fighting with a nest of ghosts, and now I finally met a place to stay, and there will be wine and food to eat immediately, how can I refuse? Besides, what Mr. Ye said is right, even if he inquired about Miss Xiaowen's house, and now he broke into her house in the middle of the night to propose marriage, and it is strange that people don't say that we are neurotic.

Even if you find out, you have to go to the meeting tomorrow morning, after dawn, until they have leisure time and do not disturb their lives, and then they can go to visit them according to the etiquette. Take 10,000 steps back and say, according to what Mr. Ye said, there are indeed no other people in this vicinity, if Mr. Ye doesn't know, then we can hardly find out why, so we can only go out of the mountain tomorrow morning to the east to look for it again.

But maybe Mr. Ye will know, anyway, I haven't asked yet, Mr. Ye is so polite, but I am embarrassed to ask in a hurry. Li Sanwazi saw that I didn't ask in advance, he was even more embarrassed to ask, after all, he was proposing to him, this kind of thing, although he is a big man, but after all, he is still an untrained young man, and he is not easy to answer some words.

Suddenly asked a trace of the smell of wine wafting in from outside, I immediately smiled, in fact, I said a thousand things and ten thousand, I was hungry and panicked. The reason for saying so much is just to convince me to enjoy a full meal with peace of mind. The old man at the gate first set up two plates of snacks and a pot of wine, and said respectfully: "Master, Madame and Miss are already freshening up, and the kitchen is also on fire. ”

"Well, it's not too late to let Madame and Miss come in first to greet the ceremony and then go to the fire to cook!" Mr. Ye has a bit of the style of the head of the family, and he speaks softly, but he is not angry and arrogant. When the old man heard this, he immediately nodded respectfully, turned around and walked out. Mr. Ye turned his head and invited me and Li Sanwazi to sit down, and said casually: "It just so happened that yesterday was my birthday, and the two daughters who were in other places also came back to celebrate my birthday, and the two aunts went back last night, because it was too late, I didn't let the two daughters go back, and stayed for two more days. ”

I immediately stood up in fear, hugged my fists, and said politely: "Uncle Ye's birthday, the younger generation didn't catch up, it's a pity, the younger generation is here to wish Uncle Ye good luck like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan!" However, Uncle Ye's arrangement really hurt the younger generation, the younger generation's qualifications are still shallow, and he really didn't dare to let Uncle Ye be so promoted, he didn't dare to be...... Uncle Ye's courtyard is noble, and the incense is prosperous, which is really gratifying! ”

"Haha......" Mr. Ye waved his hand slowly, and said politely: "Actually, I have no children under my knees, only three daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter go out early, only the younger daughter has been under the knees, if you want to say that the incense is prosperous, in fact, I really want to recruit a son-in-law!" It's okay to continue my Ye family's incense, isn't it? But I'm afraid it's hard to fulfill my wish......"

Saying that, Mr. Ye got up and poured wine for me, I quickly got up respectfully and thanked him, and raised his foot and quietly kicked Li Sanwazi, so, Li Sanwazi and I each took a glass of wine, Mr. Ye took the wine, and said with a smile: "This time I am fortunate to meet people in the Daomen, it is really a blessing for my Ye family!" Mr. Ergou, the Daomen is big, even though I am so old, I should also toast you with a glass of wine. ”

Hearing Mr. Ye's words, I was speechless, this Mr. Ye was so polite that people didn't know how to refuse, and every word and sentence was polite and thoughtful, and I didn't know how to return the salute at all. It seems that I still haven't learned enough from Master, and it would be nice if Master was here, because he is much older and spicier with all this red tape. Seeing that Mr. Ye had already done it first as a respect, I had to rush the duck to the shelves and send it to my mouth with a wine glass.

At this moment, I suddenly felt my fingers tremble, as if the wine glass was inexplicably cold, but I saw the wine glass fall down. It's terrible, I can't even hold a wine glass steadily, it's a shame! I was so well-laid in front of me, I didn't expect this moment, it was all embarrassing...... It was my instinct to bend down to pick it up, but when I bent down, I already expected the cup to be shattered.

"Jingle ......"

I was surprised to hear a crisp trembling sound, and then I saw the wine glass, which first fell sideways, and then stood up without any damage. And what's weird is not just these, what's even more weird is that the wine in the wine glass didn't even flow out, at this moment, I felt like I was struck by lightning, I was stiff for a moment, my mind turned sharply, and the broken porcelain was scattered and not broken...... It's the gathering of yin......

…… Don't?!
