There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Come, here." Yuan Xianger trot all the way through under the sycamore trees in the courtyard, opening the courtyard door and sticking out his head.

I saw a mighty team of people and horses outside the door, and there were many followers on the colored glazed car. The owner of the car wore a round neck brocade gown and a light gauze hat. He was obviously the child of a wealthy family.But put down his figure, let Yiying's servant wait behind him, and knock on the door himself.

"Is Mr. Nature at home?" The guest bowed his hands and spoke respectfully.He looks very young and looks good, but there is a large bruise on his left eye socket, as if he was punched hard by someone, and he looked a bit funny.

Another man came all the way to ask Master for help.

Yuan Xianger: "My husband has been away from home, and he has not returned for many years."

"Mr. is not at home? Oh, how can you give birth?" The guest rubbed his hands back and forth, and asked, "When will Mr. return?"

Yuan Xianger shook his head.

Since the Master suddenly disappeared that year, seven years have passed since Yuan Xiang'er grew from a little puffy doll to a 16 or 17-year-old girl, and never saw the Master again.Although the time has passed so long, there are still people who do not know the situation from time to time, and they come over from far away to seek help from the master.Unfortunately, they are also destined to return only disappointed.

Yuan Xiang'er was seeing off the guests behind closed doors, and from a distance saw her sister and the aunt of the Chen family, who was diagonally opposite, returning from the market side by side.Hastily opened the door to welcome the teacher's wife into the room.

"I saw little chickens at the market today. They were very cute, so I bought two more." Yun Niang lifted a corner of the floral cloth covering the basket, revealing two slightly turbulent yellow fur balls, "Keep them in In the yard, okay?"

When Master just left, the fairies living in the courtyard disappeared at the same time, and the sudden silence made people very unaccustomed.Perhaps the teacher also felt the silence, so she raised a lot of cats and dogs, chickens and ducks in the yard, and finally made the empty yard chirping up again.

Aunt Chen saw Yuan Xiang'er coming out to open the door, and she rushed forward to hold Xiang'er's hand affectionately and looked up and down. This little apprentice of Mr. Yu's family looked very ordinary when he was a child. After that, he was infected with fairy spirit in her husband's house. , I am getting more beautiful year after year, and I am also very good in my life. Even if I watch it, I like it very much. No wonder the boss of the family is thinking about it all day.

So she patted Yuan Xiang'er's hand and said enthusiastically: "Oh, good Xiang'er, my aunt was still telling your wife just now that such a good girl can't just be cheap in the future. Anyone who doesn't know the details can be cheap. Find a good family nearby, and take care of your wife in the future will be two-way cheap."

Yuan Xiang'er smiled openly at her, and walked in with her Madam's hand.

The guest who was about to leave saw Lady Yun, looked at it for a moment, and strode back a few steps, "Is this Lady Yun? The villain is Zhou Sheng, does the lady remember the villain? Fifteen years ago , The husband and the lady passed the Dongting Lake by the way, and once saved the life of the villain."

Yun Niang looked at him and thought about it for a long time before she suddenly remembered, covering her sleeves with surprise and said, "It turned out to be you. Back then, you were just a child under ten years old. I never thought that you are so old now."

Zhou Sheng kept beating, "The lady is the same as before. I never thought that the lady remembered the villain. Fortunately, Mr. Dao was supernatural and saved the life of the villain. The villain has always remembered her husband’s kindness in his heart during these years, and he did not dare to do anything. Forget. I found the benefactor’s immortal site in all possible troubles, and specially came to pay a visit."

Niang Yun let people into the yard instead of entering the house, she only took a seat on the stone table under the plane tree.

The Zhou Sheng was very cautious in front of Yun Niang. He regarded himself as a junior and did not dare to sit down, just standing up and speaking back.

When the two chatted about the past, Yuan Xianger listened to him. She knew that this man named Zhou Sheng had a serious illness when he was young. His parents sought famous doctors and the medicine was ineffective, and he was almost ready for funeral.Thanks to Mr. Nature and his wife who passed through here while traveling around here, and helped, he was spared.

Now fifteen years later, the 10-year-old child at that time has already married and married.Zhou's family ancestor used to be an official, leaving a shadow, and his family is well-off.The day went very smoothly.It's a pity that a few months ago, his wife Lin suddenly suffered from hypocrisy, vulgar words and deeds, rants, claiming that she was not a woman, but a general at the border, instead of letting Zhou Sheng get closer, she punched instead. Hit him out of the bedroom.

Over the past few months, the Zhou family begged God to ask, and tossed the family so much that not only did not see the effect, on the contrary, it made the Lin even more irritable.Now that he has no choice, Zhou Sheng can only tie his wife to the house with iron ropes, and dare not enter the body when he is free, life is really miserable.

"This is really... an anecdote. It's a pity that I don't know anything about this, and I can't help you." Yun Niang comforted him, "This world is so big, there are many capable people, and there are many people far better than foreigners. No matter how much you search, there must be a solution."

Yuan Xiang'er inserted a sentence from the side: "If it really can't be solved, you ask her her last name and name, where she lives, and if it's correct, let her leave by herself. Why tie people at home."

Zhou Sheng sighed: "I also asked, but he refused to say that he was ashamed of a woman to see her relatives and friends. What's more, Zhuo Jing was a lady who was married in the next three media and six, a serious couple, if you can easily let it go She is leaving?"

He quietly looked at Yuan Xiang'er, and saw the girl with the blue clouds on her temples and the crescent moon with her eyebrows. Her expression was abnormal and she knew that she was not an ordinary person.I can’t help but secretly regret that I heard that this is the only disciple of Mr. Nature, but unfortunately it is a young female disciple. If it is a man, how can he be invited, but Mr. Fande’s true biography is one or two, and he can have it anyway. Hope.

Zhou Sheng left in disappointment, leaving an ordinary-looking red lacquered wooden box as a thank you.

Yuan Xiang'er pushed aside the box, only to see a few small grids in it, neatly arranged a number of gold bars, silver ingots, beads and jade jewelry.

Yun Niang glanced, but she didn't take it seriously. She happily went to build a new chicken coop for the chicken she brought back. It seems that a box of gold and silver jewelry is not as important as the two fluffy yellow chickens in her hand. , And only arbitrarily asked Yuan Xianger to take it into the warehouse.

There is a small room in the house that serves as a storeroom. It is filled with boxes of all sizes like this. They are all thank you from people who have come to get Master’s help.Yu Yao piled them together randomly, never sorting them out, resulting in a mess inside that there was no place for pins.

Yuan Xiang'er put the small box in, looking at the thin copper lock on the door of the warehouse, which was not very useful.

When the husband was there, this home looked unremarkable, but there were all kinds of monsters, big and small, and they felt safe.

Now that the master is not at home, there is such a house of Jinshan Yinshan at home, and two or three thieves come here at random. Losing money is a trivial matter. If the teacher's wife is scared and injured, then he can't make it through.

Yuan Xiang'er stroked her chin, wondering if she should also try to contract a few apostles after she has been practicing Taoism for many years.You don't have to steal fat, a big monster like Xiqu.As long as the ordinary little demon with a little magic power can take care of the nursing home when he is out.

After the master left, she was not as melancholy and depressed as Yuan Xianger thought. She swept away the calmness of the past. Instead, she lived a very down-to-earth life. She went to the market to buy vegetables, boiled water and cooked rice, and seemed to be concerned about life Enjoy every little thing.

Since getting better, she has given Yuan Xiang'er half an hour every day classes within her abilities since she got better. The content of the course gradually involves all aspects of Danqing rhythm, flower art, tea ceremony, etc. from the initial literacy and hyphenation.

In the early years, Yuan Xianger often took Yun Niang's hand and asked Master where he was and when he would be back.

Yun Niang always squatted down and touched her head: "I don't know where he went or when he will come back, but I believe he will come back one day. All we can do is to live our lives. Well, I live happily every day. When your master comes back, I will feel happy watching it."

So Yuan Xiang'er began to practice the magic techniques taught to her by her master, helping her with some household chores, and waiting for her to come back together.She had a secret thought in her heart, if the master had encountered something difficult, and she could learn something by herself, then she could really help.

Compared with the mystery of the master's Taoism, the master is just an ordinary person. She can neither see the concealed monsters, nor can she practice strange arts.But having been with each other for so many years, in Yuan Xianger's heart, she was the same existence that she respected and admired as her master.

Unlike the women living in the neighbourhood, in this society where the cultural penetration rate is not high, although the teacher's wife is a woman, she is not only well-versed in history and poetry, but also proficient in various rituals and arts. Inadvertently exuding his temperament, Yuan Xiang'er often wondered in his heart that the teacher must be a lady of a famous family. Maybe she had a dream of traveling in the garden with her master, and the past was red and night, so she lived in this small town incognito..

She just locked the door of the warehouse here, and heard the faint sound of inquiries from the courtyard door outside.

"Is Mr. Nature at home?"

The teacher outside agreed to open the door.

It has been many years since Master left home, and people from the nearby villages have long stopped coming to the house. Only occasionally people who are far away from the country who don't know the situation come here.

Why are so many people here at once today?

Yuan Xiang'er felt strange in her heart, patted the dust on her clothes, walked out unhurriedly, and stretched her head to look in the direction of the courtyard door.

Under that glance, her heart suddenly tightened, and the cold hair stood on her back.

There was a woman standing outside the open courtyard. She applied vermilion powder, swept Emei, planted gold flowers on her temples, and had a jade ring ribbon around her waist. She was a beautiful woman with exquisite dressing.But such a beauty stood brightly outside the gate, Yun Niang seemed to have not seen her, poking her head out and looking around.

"Strange, I heard someone knock on the door," she said suspiciously.

The woman narrowed a pair of Danfeng eyes, tilted her head close to the unconscious Yun Niang.

Yuan Xiang'er ran across the yard, took Yun Niang's arm, pushed her behind her, and slammed the door.

"What's wrong with Xiang'er?" Yun Niang asked strangely, "I seemed to have heard a knock on the door just now. The strange thing is that this meeting is gone again."

Yuan Xianger stared at the closed door, quietly clamping a yellow talisman between his fingers.

The woman outside the door is still asking, "Is Mr. Nature at home? Is Mr. Nature at home?"

After a while, seeing that no one opened the door anymore, the sound finally disappeared slowly.

Yuan Xianger covered her beating heart and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not dare to come in.

Although the master has been away for many years, the yard still retains the aura of a master, and most of the demons never get close to this yard.

I don't know if the master has been away for a long time, and the breath has faded. Now the monsters dare to knock directly at the door.

I really should find myself an apostle, Yuan Xianger thought in her heart.
