Master is unreliable

The leading boy said: "This is what we should do, you don't have to be so polite."

The other teenagers also laughed and said, "Guard Zheng, you've been entertaining me with delicious food for the past half month, so we're embarrassed to accept any more from you."

The steward tried to persuade him several times, but was rejected.After saying goodbye to the steward, the boys disembarked.

Looking at the energetic backs of the young men, Zheng Guanshi couldn't help but stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "As expected of Tianzhaomen, the disciples are very good."

After those teenagers got off the merchant ship, one of them rubbed his shoulders and said, "After drifting on the sea for so long, it's finally over. I'm really exhausted."

"That's not it." Another boy said: "Hey, after completing this mission, we have a few days off, why don't we go around and return to the sect later?"

This proposal was supported by the majority of people, and only the young man in the lead said: "You guys have fun, I'll go back first and hand in the task, so that Master Uncle Zu and the others can rest assured."

"Chu Lan, you're so boring." A boy called out, "We've been out together a few times, and you never played with us. Who do you think you're in such a hurry to go back to see?"

"That's right, that's right." Another boy grabbed his companion's shoulders and said with a smile, "The seniors and juniors are all at Luoying Peak, but there are no girls at Qingxiu Peak, only Mrs. Cook is here, what are you rushing back for? "

Chu Lan smiled helplessly: "What are you talking about, I just want to go back..."

"No, no, no." The young man who was holding his companion's shoulder let go of his hand, and grabbed Chu Lan, "You must go with us today, and you are not allowed to run alone first."

Others followed suit, but Chu Lan had no choice but to say, "Okay, then what's your arrangement, let me hear it?"

There was a bright smile on the face of the boy who was pulling him, obviously he had already decided where to go, and he waved to everyone: "Hey, I heard that there is a new bean curd shop in this town, and the proprietress just turned [-] this year. Eight, not only is her craftsmanship good, she is even more beautiful, so she is called Sai Xishi. It is said that the customers in her shop line up from the east to the west of the city. Why don't we go and have a look together?"

Fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys are at the age when they are just beginning to fall in love. They have a vague liking for the opposite sex, and they can't help but look at the beautiful ones, but they don't actually have any dirty thoughts in their hearts. Is curious.

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and several teenagers walked towards the town in a mighty manner.

Two of them took Chu Lan's arm from left to right, and surrounded him, as if they were afraid that he would run away.Chu Lan shook her head helplessly and let them go.

Soon, they found the bean curd shop, and sure enough, there was a long queue in front of the shop as the rumors said.

The teenagers lined up at the back of the line consciously, looking into the store with their heads.

I saw a woman in plain clothes standing busy at the table. She had only an ebony hairpin on her hair, and no makeup was applied on her face.

But even so, it doesn't affect her beauty.Especially when she smiled, the two small dimples on her lips added a unique charm to her beauty.

The teenagers let out a small exclamation, their eyes were full of joy, one of the teenagers put his hand on his chest and said: "If I can find a Taoist partner as beautiful as this sister in the future, I will be content with death. "

One laughed and scolded: "Look at your promise."

The man was not angry either, he smiled back and said, "You are promising, so don't blush."

"I... I don't blush. It's too hot, I, I'm hot."

The rest laughed: "Yes, you are hot!"

Chu Lan couldn't help laughing too. There was a lot of movement on their side. The busy woman looked up and smiled at them.

This time, the teenagers became even more excited.

They waited in line for a long time before finally there was a vacant seat in the store. After a few people were seated, a waiter came up to them and asked them what flavor of bean curd they wanted.

A young man said, "There are many flavors of bean curd in your store?"

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Yes, our Douhua has salty, sweet, hot and iced ones. Besides, should we add fruit or red bean paste to the sweet Douhua? In addition, we also have Crab Roe Douhua in our store. , salted egg yolk bean curd, guest officer, which one do you want?"

All the teenagers were stunned for a while, "It's just a bean curd, so, so... particular."

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Guest officer, this is the reason why our shop is booming."

Chu Lan smiled and said, "Then which one is the best in your store? It's our first time here and we don't know what to eat. Please recommend it."

"Okay." Xiaoer said with a smile: "No, it's a bit hot these days, sir, I recommend you to have an iced bean curd. If you don't like sweet food, then put less honey."

Chu Lan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll order an iced bean curd."

Xiao Er responded, turned around and yelled at the busy girl: "Madam, a serving of iced bean curd, less honey."

The rest of the teenagers also quickly chose the flavors they wanted to eat, and the waiter reported to the proprietress one by one, and then said: "Those guest officers, please wait a moment, the younger ones will go to entertain other guests first."

The bean curd ordered by Chu Lan was the first to be brought up, and Xiao Er enthusiastically said, "Guest officer, please try it and you will be satisfied. If you are not satisfied, you don't need money."

Chu Lan took a sip, and the taste was unexpectedly good. He put down the spoon and said with a smile, "Can the bean curd in your store be taken away?"

Xiaoer said: "Of course."

Chu Lan said: "Then trouble you to prepare another one for me. Put all the red beans and fruits, and add more honey. In addition, put more ice cubes in the packed food box. I have a long way to go back. I am worried that there will be no ice when I go back. "

Xiao Er responded with a smile, and said: "Guest officer, the crab yolk bean curd is the signature of our store. You see, this bean curd is not big. Would you like to have a taste?"

Chu Lan smiled and said, "You don't need to taste it, just put it together for me."

Xiaoer said: "That's it. Guest officer, take it easy." Then he turned and rushed to the busy man on the other side and said, "Ding Zi, go get the food box and ice cubes."

The man named Ding Zi responded, turned around and entered the back kitchen.

After the little girl left, a teenager asked curiously, "Chu Lan, who did you bring this bean curd to?"

Another person said: "Stupid you, if you have to ask this question, it must have been brought by his master."

"That's right, are you stupid? We have been out so many times, which time Chu Lan didn't bring something for senior brother? You still have to ask."

The young man who asked the question said enviously: "Chu Lan, the relationship between you master and apprentice is really good. My voice trembles when I talk to the master, so I dare not go to him if I have nothing to do."

Chu Lan smiled and said, "Master has such a good temper, why are you so afraid of him?"

The young man lay down on the table with a bitter face: "Maybe it's because I can't practice the Protestant swordsmanship well, so I don't have the face to see his old man."

As he said that, he suddenly regained his energy, sat up and grabbed Chu Lan's hand, and said, "Chu Lan, you have to teach me well when you get back, or I will be punished by Master and his old man again."

Another boy also said: "And me, I also don't understand something. Chu Lan, tell me about it when the time comes."

Chu Lan nodded.

In fact, strictly speaking, Chu Lan is the lowest-ranked disciple of the Tianzhao Sect, and he should call all the youngsters present a master uncle.

Now, they laugh and play like their peers.There will be a situation like today, in fact, it is all "attributable" to Duan Li.

After these teenagers formally apprenticed to their teachers, they gradually became acquainted with Chu Lan.

It was an afternoon, when these children were playing together, someone asked Chu Lan to call them uncle.

Just as Duan Li passed by, a smiling look swept over him, and he said "Master Uncle" with an unclear meaning, which made these young people die, and never dared to mention Chu Lan calling them "Master Uncle".

When Chu Lan finished eating the bowl of bean curd, Xiao Er happened to bring an exquisite snack box over.

"Guest officer, here is what you asked for. It has been packed, and ice cubes are added to it according to your instructions."

Although he was wearing the same clothes, his voice was completely different from that of the previous one.

Knowing that there were two shop assistants in this store, Chu Lan was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Thank you, please calculate the price."

The guy reported a number, Chu Lan nodded, and took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve. When his eyes met the guy's, both of them froze for a moment.

Although she hadn't seen him for several years, Chu Lan recognized Ding Sheng immediately.

——Ding Sheng who tricked him into Chunfeng Tower five years ago.

Ding Sheng obviously recognized Chu Lan, his eyes swept across the Jiyuan Sword behind Chu Lan, with a frightened expression on his face.

He didn't even take the money, turned around and ran into the back kitchen.He stumbled and almost ran into a customer in the shop.

A teenager wondered: "What's the matter with this person? What the hell?"

Another boy said: "Maybe there is something wrong. This rush, can't it be a stomachache?"

The teenagers who were eating tofu raised their heads together and said, "Shut up!"

Chu Lan looked away silently. Ding Sheng ran away when he saw him, probably because he was afraid of his revenge.

He has no intention of revenge, Ding Sheng has already paid the price for his mistake.And he hadn't heard of any bad things happening in the town recently, so he didn't bother to worry about it.

Chu Lan put the broken silver on the table, picked up the food box at hand and got up and said, "I'll treat you to this dinner. You guys have fun. I'll go back first."

Chu Lan returned to Tianzhaomen with the sword all the way, and returned to Qingxiu Peak after Yixiantian handed in the task.He went straight to Duan Li's residence, but he couldn't find anyone.

I arrested someone for questioning, and was told that Duan Li had left Xinhu.

This heart lake is not far away, it is inside Tianzhao Gate.

Although Tianzhaomen is surrounded by the sea, there is a natural lake in the mountains, the lake is green, and because its shape resembles a heart, it is named Heart Lake.

The area around Xinhu Lake is quiet, and Duan Li only discovered it recently. He always took Chu Lan to practice here some time ago.

In the afternoon, when the little apprentice practiced sword, he lay on the canoe and let the boat float in the lake, while he lay on the boat and closed his eyes for a rest.

Chu Lan soon came to Xinhu Lake, and sure enough, she saw a canoe floating on Xinhu Lake from a distance, with a white figure lying on the boat.

Chu Lan smiled, jumped, and landed on the canoe steadily without making any movement.

He put down the food box, untied the Jiyuan Sword and put it aside, then took a few steps forward and squatted down in front of Duan Li.

Duan Li was lying sideways on the boat with one arm pillowed behind his head.His eyes were slightly closed, his expression was relaxed, and he seemed to be fast asleep.

Heart Lake is just below Luoying Peak, so the lake is full of cherry blossoms.

Duan Li didn't know how long he stayed here, part of the cherry blossoms fell on the canoe, covering his whole body, even his hair.

Chu Lan stretched out her hand and picked up the cherry blossoms that had fallen on Duan Li's temple. At this moment, Duan Li heaved a sigh and opened his eyes.

Chu Lan withdrew her hand and smiled at him, "Master, I'm back."
