Master, he raised other apprentices

"Seven officials, come."

As soon as Qi Guan turned his head, he saw Lao Zuo waving at him.

He is a tall, strong and mighty man. At this time, he took off his usual armor. He is only wearing a dusty gray shirt with a three-finger-wide belt around his waist and a long sword hanging from his waist. He is quite eye-catching in the crowd. .

What was even more eye-catching was that he was holding a delicate bead flower in his hand, and against the backdrop of those two thick fingers, the bead flower looked extraordinarily small.

Qi Guan tossed some money to the vendor, grabbed the glutinous rice cake and walked towards Lao Zuo, took a bite while walking, the fragrance of the rice cake permeated his mouth, with a hint of sweetness.His eyes narrowed slightly, very satisfied.

"Look, does this bead flower look good?" Lao Zuo waved his hand and rejected Qi Guan's rice cake, and then sent the bead flower in front of him, asking with some expectation.

Qi Guan took a closer look, he didn't know good or bad, he only saw that the bead flower was covered with small pearls, so he nodded repeatedly, "It looks good, my sister-in-law will definitely look good in it."

The old Zuo chuckled, and didn't even pay back the price. He carefully put Zhuhua into his arms, and stretched out his big hand like a cattail fan to wrap around Qi Guan's shoulders, "Go, go home! Let's see what your sister-in-law has done." food."

Qi Guan's eyes lit up, he bit the glutinous rice cake and nodded vigorously.

When the two entered the door, they saw a man squatting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree with his back facing the door, not knowing what he was doing.

"Ah Shen, what are you squatting there for?" Lao Zuo asked.

The young man named Ah Shen turned his head, "Ah, I'm back." He slapped off the debris in his hand, giggled and came over, "Brother-in-law, I've been away for a long time, let me see what you bought Good item."

"Go, go, go." Old Zuo subconsciously pressed the bead flower in his arms, his rough face was a little red, and he was about to kick.

Ah Shenchi slipped to Qi Guan's side, grabbed his shoulders, picked up a piece of pine nut candy and threw it into his mouth, and said, "Qi Guan'er, you are so old, why do you still have a child's temper, just buy some Snacks."

Qi Guan squinted at him: "If you have the ability, you don't want to eat it."

Ah Shen unceremoniously stretched out his hand to grab a handful, threw one up, leaned his neck up and put it in his mouth accurately, then smiled and showed his white teeth flauntingly, "I don't want to eat it, I just throw it away for fun. "

Qi Guan ignored him, saw Zuo's sister-in-law coming out with her belly, ran over a few steps, and held the pine nut candy in his hand in front of her, "Sister-in-law, eat the candy."

Zuo's sister-in-law laughed, and reached out to touch his temples, "Look at this sweaty man, go and sit in the room, and you can eat now." She passed him and asked Ah Shen to heat up the hot pot in the kitchen. The dishes are served.

Lao Zuo quietly tugged at the corner of his wife's sleeve, "Come here."

Zuo's sister-in-law didn't know why, so she followed Lao Zuo into the room, and when she came out again, there was an extra pearl flower on her hair.

She pursed her lips, and there was still a smile that couldn't be concealed at the corner of her lips. When she saw Qi Guan staring at the bead flower on her head, a blush rose on her cheeks, and she stroked her bun, "No Does it look good?"

Qi Guan immediately said: "It looks good!"

Lao Zuo, who came out after him, laughed and touched his cheeks, thinking about the softness that had just been pasted, his rough face was a little rippling.

The dishes are all ready, and it's time to eat.

Zuo's sister-in-law is quite skilled. She cooked crucian carp soup, sweet-scented osmanthus root, stir-fried vegetarian three diced meat, steamed smoked sausage, and stewed a large pot of hoof.

Qi Guan eats without lifting his head, especially loves this pot of hoofs, I don't know how Zuo's sister-in-law made it, it is neither firewood nor greasy, the teeth come off the bone with a light grip, and the bite is soft and sticky The teeth are springy, and the rich sauce is so fragrant that you can't even bite the bones and swallow them.

Zuo's sister-in-law smiled all over her face when she saw that he was eating deliciously, and gave him a big hoof: "Eat more if it tastes good."

After the meal, Qi Guan collapsed under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree with his stomach in his arms to digest his food, and Ah Shen, who was extremely bored, squatted over, holding a small piece of steamed bun in his hand, breaking it into fine powder and throwing it on the ground, soon ants came looking for it .

Qi Guan leaned against the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, tilted his head to watch him tease the little creature.

A black cat jumped up to the top of the wall, lingered on the courtyard wall, and then squatted down, staring closely at the people in the courtyard with its two green eyes.

Qi Guan suddenly felt something, glanced at it, met its eyes, was slightly stunned, and sat up straight.

He stared at the black cat, feeling a little inexplicably uneasy, so he called out, "Ah Shen."

"Huh?" Ah Shen looked up, a little confused, "What are you doing?"

Qi Guan was still staring at the wall without blinking, "That cat is very strange."

Ah Shen looked back and smiled, "Where is the wild cat, it came here to look for food." He stood up and tried to lure the black cat down with the remaining steamed buns in his hand, "Me, me, come down, come here , for you to eat."

The black cat stared at him, moved its paws against the top of the wall, scratched a deep mark on the wall, and mud and stones fell down.

Ah Shen failed to seduce him, so he had to put down the steamed bun, thought for a while, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, muttering as he walked, "I remember there are still some meat scraps..."

The moment he turned around, the black cat's green eyes flashed fiercely, its four claws kicked against the wall, and it rushed over, its speed was faster than the wind, and the three-inch-long claws flashed frighteningly The cold light scratched Ah Shen's back.

Qi Guan had been staring at it sternly, at this moment he dodged suddenly, before the black cat grabbed Ah Shen's back, he flew up and kicked it in the stomach.

"Meow!"

The black cat let out a mournful cry, its jet-black body flew out obliquely, and hit the courtyard wall, making a muffled bang.However, in the next moment, it bounced off the wall and rushed towards it at a faster speed than before.

This time, its target is Qi Guan.

Ah Shen turned around when he heard the movement, and saw the black cat rushing towards Qi Guan.He clearly saw that the black cat had grown a pair of fangs for some reason, bared its nose long, the saliva was thrown out along the tip of the fangs, and hit the ground with a fierce look.

Eye pupils tightened suddenly, Ah Shen stretched out his hand to grab Qi Guan's shoulder, "Seventh official!"

He reacted quickly, but the black cat pounced even faster, and it came close in the blink of an eye, and the sharp claws that popped out had already reached Qi Guan's eyes.Ah Shen's heart was shattered, and in the next moment, he seemed to see an extra feather in Qi Guan's hand, which he flung in front of the black cat's nose.

The black cat pounced fiercely, caught off guard, the front end of its feathers had already brushed over, and the tiny fluff penetrated into the dilated nostrils, which immediately aroused a strong itching.

"sneeze--"

The black cat sneezed loudly, its body paused, before it could recover, it was kicked out by Qi Guan's slap, rolled all the way, and sneezed several times in a row.

"..." Ah Shen was dumbfounded.

Qi Guan tossed the feather casually, stood up, folded a branch from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and held it in his hand, without chanting, a sword formula would naturally begin to operate, a wisp of sword energy rose from the dantian, and flowed from the meridians It burst out from the air, poured into the branches, and exploded with a bang, chopping at the black cat that was rushing to the ground.

laugh.

The black cat was cut in half by the sword energy, half stayed where it was, and the other half ran forward with a ferocious aura, until it fell to the ground unwillingly after a few steps.

Ah Shen looked at Qi Guan, then moved his eyes to the branch that was blown to pieces by the sword energy, and opened his mouth wide.But the next moment he closed his mouth, ran over in three steps at a time, picked up the black cat's body, turned his eyes on the fangs and claws that were obviously beyond common sense, and said in surprise, "This is... ...has become a demon?"

Qi Guan didn't answer, he walked a few steps, looked up at the sky without a trace of cloud, the uneasiness in his heart not only didn't decrease, but became more intense.

Something is wrong.

"Ah!" Zuo's sister-in-law screamed from inside the house.

Qi Guan suddenly turned his head, and quickly rushed into the room.

Clang!

Qi Guan rushed in, and saw Zuo's sister-in-law caressing her heart, staring at the foot of the bed with lingering fear, and the old Zuo beside her was bending over to pick up something from the ground.

"Old Zuo!" he called out.

Lao Zuo straightened up, holding a slender gray tail between his two fingers—it was a big mouse, the small eyes were red and the incisors and claws were a little too long.

"It's demonized." The old leftist said, a little strangely, "It's pretty good..."

At this time, Ah Shen, who was a step behind, also rushed in, still holding the half of the black cat's body in his hand, Lao Zuo just raised his head, glanced at it, and his face changed slightly.

He threw the mouse to Ah Shen and strode out. Just as he reached the courtyard, he suddenly heard the dull sound of drums in the distance.

Lao Zuo stopped abruptly, and his expression suddenly became serious.As if in agreement, there were also screams from the next door, and not only one family, one after another, even neighbors.

Old Zuo turned his head and returned to the room, picked up his cloak from the shelf, put it on, and said, "I'm afraid there is something unusual about the sound of the drum in the tower. You guys are better off staying at home. I'll go and have a look." look."

He is the guard of the city, and today he has time to stay at home because of a ten-day holiday, but the sound of the drum in the city tower means that something has happened, and he must go back immediately to wait for orders.

Zuo's sister-in-law helped him put on the armor, with a worried look on her face, "It's going to be all right, ah, it shouldn't be all right—?"

"Don't worry." Lao Zuo finally hung the long sword on his waist, held the helmet with one hand, touched his wife's cheek with the other, rubbed his rough fingers against the soft skin, and said in a low voice, "I'll just go and see Look, it'll be all right."

In front of the door, Qi Guan had been staring at the distant sky for a while, suddenly, he shrugged his nose forcefully, and his brows slowly wrinkled.

He smelled a faint smell of fishy wind.

"Qiguaner." Lao Zuo patted his shoulder from behind with his palm, and urged, "Stay at home well, don't run around, and find Ah Shen if you have anything, you know?"

Qi Guan turned his face, his dark pupils clearly reflected Lao Zuo's figure.He said, "There is a demonic aura outside, it is very dangerous."

Lao Zuo was stunned for a moment, thinking he was talking about demonized black cats and mice, so he nodded and comforted, "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and have a look, and I'll be back soon."

Qi Guan wanted to say something else, but Lao Zuo had already strode down the steps, asking Ah Shen to take care of the house while walking.

Qi Guan looked at Lao Zuo's back, pursed his lips, and walked to the middle of the courtyard.

The feather that he casually threw away was still on the spot, a long one, the sporadic sunlight shone through the branches and leaves of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, making the hairs shone with golden light.

Qi Guan picked it up and looked at it, then twirled his fingers again, the feathers passed through his fingers softly, it felt quite good.But no matter how you look at it, it's just a feather, and its lethality can't even compare to a branch that you snap off.

He curled his lips, with a slightly disgusted expression, and was about to throw it away.

A thin vine emerged quietly, lying on top of his head and dangling, at this moment it flashed and appeared between his fingers, the branches and leaves curled slightly, and the feathers disappeared without a trace.

Then, Hosoto swung the branch and hit him with a snap.

Prodigal son, if you know what kind of treasure this is, just throw it around!
