[Comprehensive martial arts] Ancient and modern grocery store

There is indeed a passage at the bottom of the well that is one person high, and the wall of the well is recessed, so if you look down from the top of the well, you really can't see its existence.

The people in front had already walked away, Chu Liuxiang walked up to Xia Jianqing first, pulled Boss Xia behind him, and carefully moved forward.

This passage? The width is only enough for one person to pass through. Both sides of the walls have been cracked and cracked, and some broken stones will even fall when the hands are lightly brushed.

Gradually move forward, and gradually see? Saw a glimmer of light.

"It doesn't seem to be the candlelight in their hands." The person in front was holding a candle in his hand, and the light shouldn't be so strong.

The two turned seven times and eight times, and finally stepped into this huge underground space in one step.

This place is almost half the size of a football field, and it is shaped like an irregular circle. There are swords hanging on the walls and placed on the ground in piles.

And the ray of light that leaked out was actually the night pearl inlaid on the wall at a distance.The countless night pearls reflected the entire space extremely clearly.

Xia Jianqing had never seen so many night pearls, so he squatted down in surprise and touched the beads embedded in the ground.

Even Chu Liuxiang, as the bandit commander, has never seen so many night pearls.But he is more concerned about the swords that can be seen everywhere here.

Chu Liuxiang casually picked up a sword from the ground, looked around, and found that the sword was very well made, even if the material was not top-notch, but the craftsmanship was considered unique.

There is also a clear pattern engraved on the hilt.Chu Liuxiang always felt that this pattern was very familiar, so he randomly picked up other swords from the ground and found the same pattern engraved on them.

The two walked forward to the front of the crowd, and everyone present was amazed at such a big handwriting.

"These swords are all over the place, just pick one at random, and the craftsmanship is better than most people in the Jianghu today." A young man looked at the sword in his hand with eyes full of fanaticism.

Chu Liuxiang walked to Lu Xiaofeng's side, and handed him the pattern on the hilt of the sword? "You? Look? Does this pattern look familiar?"

Lu Xiaofeng took it over and looked at it carefully, even touched it with his hands, looked at it all upside down, left and right, and shook his head: "I have no impression."

But the old man Zhang on the side took up the conversation: "This is the sword made by Chenjiazhuang, which was very popular back then."

Old man Zhang looked down at the pattern on the hilt in his hand, and the expression on his face was extremely weird and distorted.

It seems that there is nostalgia, it seems that there is resentment, and it seems that there is sentimentality.

Lu Xiaofeng was surprised: "Chenjiazhuang? Isn't that? It's..."

Old man Zhang nodded, and his old and hoarse voice drew everyone's attention: "He is the real owner of this house a few years ago."

Lu Xiaofeng was thoughtful: "Yes, I also heard that the owner's family has made swords for generations."

Old man Zhang seems to be very clear about what happened back then: "Although Chenjiazhuang is a master of sword making skills, none of the children in the village are materials for martial arts. They have unique treasures handed down from generation to generation that amaze the world, but they have no ability to protect it. They are a The destruction of the world seems to have already become a foregone conclusion.”

Everyone was surprised: "So they were really wiped out by the enemy? Back then, their family disappeared overnight, and they could only find bloodstains in the corner, so everyone just guessed that something happened to them..."

Old man Zhang nodded with a strange expression: "It was only after I bought this house that I gradually became sure that something happened to their family, and the reason was naturally the legendary sword."

The eyes of the young people present instantly lit up. They are always full of curiosity about these mysterious stories.

"Heirloom sword?"

"Yes, it's a sword handed down from ancient times. There is a sword handed down from ancient times in Chenjiazhuang. It is said that this sword is not inferior to Ximen Chuuxue's sword."

All the other people present showed greed in their eyes, only Xia Jianqing and the other four were expressionless.

Excuse me? Are you talking about the children's plastic toy sword I gave Ximen Fuuxue?

The old man Zhang drooped his face, his cloudy eyes seemed to be clearer, and there was infinite temptation in his words: "Unfortunately, this handed down sword has disappeared, but now the sword library of Chenjiazhuang has reappeared before the eyes of the world. Maybe hide the sword somewhere?"

Just one sentence, it made the blood of the other young people excited. They seemed to have imagined the situation when they got the sword and stood at the top of the rivers and lakes.

Old man Zhang suddenly changed the subject: "I would like to thank the four of you for unraveling the name of this haunted house. Everyone, I have prepared a banquet. Everyone, do you want to have a face-to-face gathering?"

……

Old man Zhang is indeed a strange person. The two banquets and the two atmospheres were very strange.

Xia Jianqing didn't take part in the awkward chats of the Jianghu people, and only focused on eating with his head down.Lu Xiaofeng, who used to talk a lot, was quieter this time too? The four people on this side listened to the excited discussions of the young people on the other side in silence.

After the whole banquet, no one paid any attention to Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng.

The four of them moved very quickly, and immediately bid farewell to old man Zhang after the banquet was over.

Leaning on crutches, old man Zhang took Chu Liuxiang and the others to the door without being supported by his servants.

For the first time in the past few days, several people saw the scorching sun outside.

Xia Jianqing squinted his eyes slightly under the glare of the summer light, and saw Old Man Zhang's younger brother looking at him from behind the door.

Boss Xia smiled and nodded at that side, and waved his hand.I hope to have the opportunity to see this lovely child again in the future.

Under the bright light, old man Zhang's face is more conspicuous, and there are black wrinkles one by one, full of countless vicissitudes of life.His throat was a little uncomfortable, and he coughed for a while before finally speaking.

"Thank you guys, and I'm sorry." Old man Zhang held Chu Liuxiang's hand tightly, his words almost overflowing with sincerity.

Xia Jianqing looked at the old man silently, he was willing to believe the sincerity of the old man now, because he looked too sad now.

Old man Zhang lowered his head for a long time before returning to his original state. He let go of Chu Liuxiang's hand, and smiled again: "Everyone, have a good journey!"

Old man Zhang put his arms around his younger brother and stood in front of the door until the figures of the four were no longer seen. Then he turned around and stepped into the dark house again, closing the door heavily to block everything inside.

……

They returned to the inn where they stayed a few days ago, intending to rest for one night, and set off for Jiangnan Hua's house the next day.They had been delayed too long on the way.

And now Boss Xia is staying in his own room at the inn, taking a serious bath.Especially the wound on the shoulder that has grown to the same size, I carefully washed it with a cloth towel around it.

He even brought a body lotion he never used.

Xia Jianqing sat on the bed, carefully read the English usage items, and finally turned around to see the operation flow chart suitable for him.

Boss Xia carefully dug out a lump and stuck it on his body.From head to toe, it was fragrant.

But after he raised his hand and smelled it, he felt a little disgusted.After thinking about it, he still took out the tulip fragrance that Chu Liuxiang gave him, and sprayed some on his body.

The corners of Xia Jianqing's mouth suddenly turned up uncontrollably.

He found that after a person has someone he likes, even if there is only a little contact, he can be so happy that he can't sleep.Just like now, he has the same smell as Chu Liuxiang.This smell? It seems that they are tightly entangled together, and they can feel each other's existence at all times.

Boss Xia suddenly understands what the word romance means.

Turning around, she walked to the bag at the corner of the bed, flipped left and right, and when she just took out a set of clothes with exquisite patterns and well-made clothes, Xia Jianqing put it back again.

Instead, he took out a set of clean and white underwear, and put on carefully.He reached out and picked up the medicine bottle on the table, and with his wet hair hanging like this, he knocked on the door of Chu Liuxiang's room next door.

"Enter."

Chu Liuxiang's voice was separated by a door? The door was a little blurry, but Xia Jianqing heard it clearly.Holding the medicine bottle tighter and tighter in his hand, Boss Xia took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

Chu Liuxiang was sitting at the table drinking tea, and when she looked up, she was still a little dazed when she saw Xia Jianqing coming in.

"what happened?"

Boss Xia calmly raised his left hand, the porcelain white medicine bottle and thin white fingers were still eye-catching under the dim light.

"Help me apply the medicine, you? I promised today."

Chu Liuxiang took a sip of tea and almost couldn't swallow it down.

But he was so distressed that he hurriedly pulled Xia Jianqing to the side of the bed and sat him down, took the medicine bottle with one hand: "Is the wound still hurting? Otherwise, I'll see the doctor tomorrow? Look? "

Xia Jianqing lied without guilt at all: "It's fine at other times, but it still hurts if you accidentally touch it hard."

Chu Liuxiang touched her wet hair, reached out and took the cloth towel that was on the side, wiped it carefully from top to bottom, and then brushed her hair aside.

"Why? Don't dry your hair, be careful of catching a cold."

When Chu Liuxiang's hand touched the collar, he shrank back, and asked embarrassingly, "Ah Qing, can I help you remove the clothes and apply the medicine?"

Xia Jianqing's face was expressionless but his mind was stirring: "Of course, you? Take it off."

Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose, not daring to look around, and carefully took off Xia Jianqing's left shoulder clothes from behind a little, so that the scar would be exposed, so she didn't dare to move any more.

Xia Jianqing frowned: "You? Can you see? Clearly?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded quickly: "Can you see? Clearly."

Boss Xia disagreed in his heart.How could this work? Even if he could see clearly, he had to let Chu Liuxiang see clearly.

Taking advantage of Chu Liuxiang's unpreparedness, Xia Jianqing quickly pulled off the clothes that only exposed one shoulder.

The rich fragrance of tulips came to the nostrils in an instant, making Chu Liuxiang behind her intoxicated.

The snow-white underclothes slipped off quickly, followed by a more delicate and delicate snow back.The two appeared in front of Chu Liuxiang behind him.

The black hair that was pulled aside was affected, and it slipped down from the right shoulder continuously, touching the delicate skin in front of her eyes. The black hair was pitch-black, and the snow-white back?

The butterfly bone on the back is looming, and the spinal groove is slightly sunken and descends smoothly.

Chu Liuxiang's eyes were straightened, she subconsciously turned around, facing the bed curtain, she didn't dare to shift her gaze even the slightest bit.

In summer, even at night, it is equally hot and dry.Chu Liuxiang thought to herself.

Xia Jianqing waited for a long time without waiting for any movement. She turned around in doubt, but saw Chu Liuxiang's back was turned to him and she didn't know what she was doing.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose with a wry smile, her voice a little hoarse: "I'm afraid I'll hurt you, why don't you paint it yourself, Ah Qing?"

Xia Jianqing frowned slightly, and directly stretched out his hand to pull Chu Liuxiang over, not refusing at all: "You? Hurry up and take off your clothes, you? Tell me this?"

Chu Liuxiang choked for breath, sighed softly, only dared to stare at the scar on the shoulder in front of him, and didn't dare to look at other places?

I applied a little ointment on my fingers, and carefully applied it to the scabbed wound.

But one scar is only such a small area, and the other places are all delicate and delicate. Chu Liuxiang's fingers trembled more and more. The collarbone, which was very close to the scar, was a beautiful scenery that he could not avoid.

Just like the ridge of a snow-capped mountain, in the hot summer, Chu Liuxiang even felt the refreshing coolness on the skin of her fingertips.

But the difference is that his whole body is almost on fire.

The flame in his heart instantly spread throughout his body, making him a little helpless.

After applying the ointment on her fingertips, Chu Liuxiang immediately stretched out her hand and pulled the clothes up. She quickly wrapped Xia Jianqing completely, and the belt around her waist was almost tied in a knot.

Xia Jianqing looked at Chu Liuxiang's handsome red face, took the medicine bottle back, and turned back to the room with satisfaction.

He decided that this way of applying medicine should be done every day!

……

midnight.

Chu Liuxiang was lying on the bed with her left hand pillowed, staring at the top of the bed in a daze.His eyes glowed strangely in the darkness.

He carefully placed his right hand aside, not daring to move it easily, especially the index finger on his right hand.

Just now it was that finger that accidentally brushed over the snow-white mountain ridge that almost made him intoxicated there.

Chu Liuxiang is now almost in a state of extreme excitement.He couldn't stop the excitement in his body, he couldn't stop the guessing in his mind, he couldn't even stop playing every trace of the beautiful scenery he just saw in his mind.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help thinking that all of Ah Qing's recent strange behaviors seemed to point to a reason.

Is it possible that they are in love with each other?

Has Ah Qing been chasing him recently?

Chu Liuxiang fell asleep with this good wish in her arms.

In the dream, there was everything he wanted, and the pink that he accidentally caught in the corner of his eye...

……

After rushing for several days, the few people finally stepped into the border of Jiangnan.

Xia Jianqing felt that he was remiss as a friend, because he didn't know that Hua Manlou's birthday was coming soon.

He even almost missed out on Hua ManLou and couldn't attend his birthday party.

In this way, he might also thank Yue Buqun for bringing them together.

Xia Jianqing and the others lived in Hua's house not far from Baihualou.

The Hua family is worthy of being a wealthy family. It occupies a vast area, and the servants who come and go are full of energy and are enthusiastic and courteous.

The courtyard arranged by Xia Jianqing is full of flowers and fresh air.Living in such a place, you can rest very comfortably and relax every day.

Xia Jianqing thought about the gift all the way, and finally decided on what to give.

Modern development is too fast, and many things can only be used with the help of electricity and the Internet. Xia Jianqing also thought for a long time before finding a gift that Huamanlou can use and that he will like?

A handmade music box made of solid wood.

Just turn the joystick, this palm-sized small box can make wonderful music.

Xia Jianqing carefully and secretly took it to meet Lu Xiaofeng.

"How is it? Will Huamanlou like it?"

Lu Xiaofeng turned the joystick in amazement, looked at the wooden boat that was bouncing up and down: "Boss Xia, you? This is fine! How about giving me one too?"

Xia Jianqing snatched it back and said, "You? Don't break it. I made it myself. I'll talk about it on your birthday."

Lu Xiaofeng clicked his tongue regretfully.

Turning his eyes, he pulled Boss Xia and whispered again: "How are you and Chu Liuxiang doing?"

Xia Jianqing raised his head somewhat complacently: "It went well, I think we will be together soon."

"How to say?"

"I now let him put me on my medicine every night, and I think he's obsessed with my strong and reliable body."

Lu Xiaofeng tried his best to hold back his laughter, and spoke righteously: "Boss Xia, you? This is immoral? How can you use your looks to seduce others?"

Xia Jianqing asked in confusion: "Can't a good figure be regarded as one of my strengths? I specially drew a six-pack abs that day..."

Lu Xiaofeng was shocked and said: "You? Why is this still a fake?"

Boss Xia had no expression on his face: "It didn't work either. Chu Liuxiang never paid attention to this point, and didn't draw it afterward."

Lu Xiaofeng expressed sympathy to Chu Liuxiang silently in his heart, and then threatened Boss Xia: "Boss Xia, you can hurry up! I saw Chu Liuxiang's three girls sent him a letter two days ago, maybe it is... Urge him to go back to the boat!"

How much Xia Jianqing wanted Chu Liuxiang to go before, but now? How much she wanted Chu Liuxiang to stay.Hearing this, he was a little anxious: "What should I do? Can I not let him go?"

Lu Xiaofeng put on a show: "I'm afraid that won't work. When he goes back? To visit? To visit his family, we can't hold him back."

Touching his mustache, seeing Boss Xia's anxious look, Lu Xiaofeng finally realized his conscience: "Boss Xia, why don't you just tell me what's on your mind?"

"If you like it, don't you? Should you say it as soon as possible? Otherwise, it will happen around you? What if you misunderstand? Maybe Chu Liuxiang also likes you secretly?"

Xia Jianqing was a little restless: "I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it... Isn't it too early? What if he... doesn't mean anything to me?"

Lu Xiaofeng was straightforward: "After Huamanlou's birthday, Chu Liuxiang will definitely be back on the boat, you? If you don't say it now, will there be a chance in the future?"

"On Huamanlou's birthday, I think it's a very good time."

Xia Jianqing silently stared at the music box on the table in front of him, making subconscious movements in his hands, fiddled with the delicate boat on the wooden board.The infinite chaos in the mind has no clue.

The fingers moved the handle so hard that the fingertips were a little white?The music box rotated slowly, the boat heaved up and down on the wooden board, and crisp notes scattered out, gradually connecting into a familiar tune.

The beautiful and sad music pulled out a thread from Xia Jianqing's chaotic mind and straightened it out.

The fingertips paused for an instant, the music disappeared, and the boat paused.

Xia Jianqing raised his head and looked seriously. He turned to Lu Xiaofeng: "Then how should I confess? Can I give him tulips?"

Isn't sending flowers so bad in ancient times? Lu Xiaofeng even thought this idea was brilliant.

"Boss Xia, you're enlightened! But why tulips? Because of the smell?"

Xia Jianqing lowered his head and turned the music box again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

That is of course because of the flower language of tulips——

Confession of love?

The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Are you obsessed with my six-pack abs?

Xiangxiang: trembling hands, erratic eyes) Yes, yes!

Alas, I wish I could meet the cuties elsewhere.
