Chapter 332: Wild Ghost 4
After lunch, Bai Wanwan was left alone in the yard sitting on the steps looking at the noon sun and lost in thought.

She really couldn't think of any good way to make money, so she stood up and opened the door against the sun, planning to go out for a walk to see if there was any opportunity.

At noon, everyone was basically working on the ridge, and the children were taking a nap at home. She walked around the path and didn't meet anyone.

The village is surrounded by mountains, and there is a hillside if you go up. It didn't take long for Bai Wanwan to feel dizzy.

It wasn't hot on the surface, but heat stroke was still possible. She was afraid that she would be so cold, so she quickly found a shade and squatted down. After squatting for a while, the feeling of blackness in front of her eyes became more and more severe.

Come on... It's hard to go out, and you just sunk me to death?Am I shameless? ? ?
Fortunately, she remembered that there was a stream nearby, which should be able to cool off.Although she is not so courageous as to take a bath in the field at noon like the heroine of the farmer's novel, it is still possible to wash her face to sober up.

After simmering, I walked to the stream, but the stream was clean.Bai Wanwan took out the veil from her bosom and dipped it in the water, then unscrewed it and threw it on her face.

As soon as the cool stream water touched my face, I felt alive again.

Bai Wanwan sat on the rock by the stream, listening to the cicadas chirping in the nearby tree, and even felt a little quiet for a while.

However, the years will not be quiet. With such a shake of her hand, the handkerchief rushed downstream along the stream.

???

Although it is said that the handkerchief is not worth much, but at any rate, the family is poor and has to learn to be diligent and thrifty. If you can pick it up, you must pick it up.

She didn't want to make a detour, so she walked directly down the stream that didn't pass her calf. Below was a gravel beach covered with clean pebbles. It was very pleasant to swim in the stream.

The plain white handkerchief just got stuck in the middle of the pebbles.

Bai Wanwan raised her trouser leg and was about to pick it up, but the handkerchief was picked up by another outstretched hand.

They were a pair of unattractive hands with well-defined and slender joints. They should have been pleasing to the eye, but they were covered with many scars and small cuts, and the fingertips were covered with a thick layer of calluses.

Following those hands, Bai Wanwan raised her eyes and happened to meet the man's eyes.

The young man in black hair and strong robe, with a sword hanging on his waist and leather boots on his feet, his facial features are not immature, but revealing a bit of the calmness of youth and maturity, and the familiar mole of tears under his eyes makes people care.

If it wasn't for fear of scaring others, Bai Wanwan would have thrown herself into the water and hugged her thighs and called her father.But in reality, even if she couldn't do such a mentally retarded thing, Bai Wanwan's expression was still very subtle.

"Is this handkerchief yours?" He asked with a mellow and clear voice.

"Yes, yes, it's mine." Bai Wanwan gritted her molars and quickly thought of something to talk about in her head, but her mind twitched and she asked, "Is this hand yours?"

"..."

"?"

"No, no, no, I didn't say anything." Bai Wanwan smiled awkwardly and waved her hand, taking the handkerchief from the man.For a moment, she wanted to drown herself in the stream.

She backed away from embarrassment, but forgot that she was still stepping in the water, with a pebble behind her.When Bai Wanwan slipped on the sole of her foot, she almost had to confess her front teeth here.

The young man didn't show any sympathy for the fragrance, just looking thoughtfully at Bai Wanwan who threw a beautiful splash in the water.

"It's a little effort, there is no need to be so big."

"???"

No, I can explain, I didn't want to kneel down for you! !I just slipped and fell, slipped and fell understand!

Bai Wanwan's complexion changed strangely, she could hardly maintain that awkward smile, she could only pretend to be reserved and gentle, she got up and rubbed her knees, and tried to cover her face with the handkerchief that was not as big as her own face .

"May I ask the son's name?"

"Why?"

"I'm surprised to see your bones, you must be a martial arts prodigy. Here I have a copy of the Nine Yin Manual for those who are destined..."

No, she couldn't make it up.

She had thought that the other party would reject her nonsense excuse of being unqualified.

Unexpectedly, the other party's face was happy, and a bit of anticipation and surprise appeared faintly: "Really? I didn't expect that the girl is still an expert."

Bai Wanwan: "..."

His brain doesn't seem to be working well.

Having said so much, Bai Wanwan could only bite the bullet and continue talking nonsense: "So, where's your name?"

"My name is Xiao Yao."

"Oh." Bai Wanwan was extremely perfunctory.

In fact, she is not interested in the other party's name, the main reason is that after knowing the name, the two people will appear to be more familiar with each other.

"I don't know the name of the master, where did you learn from?" Xiao Yi continued.

Gao Ren... Bai Wanwan covered her face with a handkerchief and pondered for a while before she spoke: "The Gao Ren is not me, but my master, and he also passed on the Nine Yin Manual to me. In the village below the mountain."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yi showed a suddenly realized expression, and it took a long time to show embarrassment: "I lost my way in this mountain, I wonder if Miss Bai can show me the way, I will be grateful."

"You want to go, are you rushing somewhere?"

"Go to the capital to join the army and show off your ambition."

Just by hearing the name, one knows that the capital city must be thousands of miles away from this dilapidated mountain village. After Xiao Yi left like this, she didn't know that she would meet again in the Year of the Monkey, and besides, she was going to be cold next month.

Bai Wanwan's mind raced to find the reason for him to stay, and it took her a long time to speak dryly: "But I haven't given you the Nine Yin Manual yet? If time is not urgent, can you stay nearby for a few more days? The teacher left early, and I can't remember where I lost it, so I can only look for it."

Xiao Yi seemed to want to refuse, but seeing Bai Wanwan's expectant face, he couldn't bear it, and he didn't understand where this intolerance came from.

"...Don't worry, Miss Bai, just look for it slowly. Anyway, Xiao is sleeping in the open wherever he is, so it doesn't hurt to spend a few more days around here."

Bai Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and kept him temporarily no matter what.

She walked to the stream, and put the shoes and socks in the sun to dry, Xiao Xian politely avoided.

Although in this era, looking at a girl's feet is not equal to innocence, but in broad daylight, the atmosphere is still a bit weird.

"What were you doing around here?" she asked.

"The weather is hot and the heat is unbearable. Come to the water and wash your face."

Bai Wanwan squinted her eyes and smiled: "Me too, the sun just made me faint... Ah, by the way, you don't have a place to live near here, do you? There is no place to stay in the village, so you... ..."

"Miss Bai, don't worry, I can live in a nearby town."

The town... is quite far from the village, and it will take about a morning to ride a horse or an ox cart.
