I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Brother and sister Su Zheng and Su Rongrong left with the people from Miao Village.

Pei Xiang and Yu Lianzhou also found an excuse to stay out of everyone's sight, quickly removed their disguises and returned to their original appearance.

After everything was taken care of, the two bid farewell on the bustling roadside.

The cool breeze blew over Yu Lianzhou's outer robe, blowing away the residual body temperature that did not belong to Yu Lianzhou, making the tall and solemn man slightly distracted.

"Yu Erxia, it's over here, I'm going back to Xishan Village. If there is a chance in the future, we may meet again. At that time, I will treat Yu Erxia to drink."

Yu Lianzhou clasped her fists in return: "Nvxia Hu, the world is far away, so I still hope to cherish it."

Pei Xiang smiled sweetly, waved at Yu Lianzhou, turned around and left freely.After a while, her back disappeared from Yu Lianzhou's sight.

Yu Lianzhou stood at the corner of the street for a while again, the slight rippling in his eyes slowly subsided, he cast aside distracting thoughts, contemplated the next itinerary, and then walked away in the opposite direction.

In Xishan Village, Hu Qingniu was squatting in the yard to dry medicinal herbs.When he raised his head, he suddenly found that his younger sister who had "run away from home" suddenly appeared in the middle of the courtyard. Her hairpin dress was plain, she was dressed in a long journey, but she had a bright and relaxed smile on her face.

Seeing the look on Pei Xiang's face, Hu Qingniu felt relieved, knowing that his sister definitely did not suffer from this trip.

He didn't ask why Pei Xiang left in a hurry and took away the unconscious Yu Lianzhou, but he just tilted his neck towards the kitchen and said lazily:

"There are warm meals and hot water in the kitchen. Do you wash first or eat first?"

Pei Xiang smiled and said, "Wash up first, be light and brisk, and then eat with peace of mind."

Hu Qingniu hummed lightly, then lowered his head to fiddle with his precious medicinal materials.

After half an hour, Pei Xiang changed into a clean and comfortable dress and walked out of the bedroom, then went to the kitchen to get food and dishes.

"Brother, will you eat with me?"

"No, I ate before you came back, and I'm not hungry now."

"Hey, is this meal specially reserved for me? Do you know that I'm going back today?"

"I reckoned the date, and it feels like you should be back. You had a patient who was half cured before, what was his name? By the way, it's the leader of the Heihe gang. He will come to the door again tomorrow for a follow-up consultation. Do you care about his treatment?" If you are interested in the condition, you will definitely not give up halfway.”

"Sure enough, brother who knows me."

"Hey, for this compliment, I am ashamed of my brother. For example, I don't know what my sister did after pouring out the Tangtang Wudang Erxia medicine? Also, I just made it a few days ago. Why did your new robe disappear?"

Pei Xiang took a sip of the delicious mushroom soup, tasted it was Hu Qingniu's handiwork, and bent the corners of his lips happily.

"Brother, I'll tell you about the past few days after I finish eating, um, and what happened to that Huashan School Xian Yutong."

Hu Qingniu's eyes sparkled, and he was immediately ready to listen to the story.

After dinner, the two brothers and sisters made a pot of hot tea and set out a chessboard.The two sat opposite each other under the tree, playing chess and drinking tea while talking about what Pei Xiang had seen and heard in the past few days.

Hu Qingniu was amazed to hear that Yu Lianzhou had no complaints about Pei Xiang's secretly drugging, and was willing to cooperate with her in acting.

He thought to himself, in the orthodox sects in the Jianghu, there are not only scum like Xian Yutong, but also open-minded and kind people like Yu Lianzhou.Sure enough, making friends can't just be based on the origin of the other party, whether the other party is a pearl or a fish eye, you have to carefully distinguish.

"By the way, brother, I have made an appointment with Su Rongrong. She will bring her brother Su Zheng to our place to play in two days. According to Su Rongrong, Su Zheng is very good at collecting herbs and knows many local specialties. The medicinal materials are very familiar with their growth environment. Brother, I plan to ask him to take me into the mountains to collect herbs, and I also agreed to this for you."

When Hu Qingniu heard about this, he naturally nodded repeatedly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.For a medical idiot like him, the more such invitations, the better.

Two days later, the brothers and sisters Su Zheng and Su Rongrong came as expected.

After the four met, they talked happily.Su Zheng has been learning herbal medicine from Dr. Miao's side, while Su Rongrong has devoted himself to cultivating Gu worms. The brother and sister have their own strengths.However, Pei Xiang and Hu Qingniu have a wider range of research and are very proficient in the art of medicine and poison.The four of them exchange what they have learned with each other, and they can all benefit from it. You come and go, learn from each other, and the atmosphere of getting along is becoming more and more harmonious.

After getting acquainted with each other, more than ten days later, the four of them went to the mountains to collect herbs according to the previous agreement. After going there, they lingered in the deep mountains and old forests for more than two months.

During this period, Pei Xiang and others also encountered several life-and-death situations, but in the end they were all resolved one by one by the four martial arts masters.Of course, after each successful crisis, the four will have gratifying gains.

When Pei Xiang and the others returned to Xishan Village again, they felt as if they had passed away. They looked happily at the village households with smoke rising from their kitchens, and they missed the daily life outside the mountains and forests.

"Oh, I must drink to my heart's content today, and have another table of good food."

"I'm going to take a hot bath, then sleep in bed, and tomorrow I'll go to the casino in the town to gamble to my heart's content, I don't care if I win or lose."

"I want to eat jujube paste crisps and bean paste cakes in Xihe Town. I want to eat soft and warm noodles. I don't want to eat grilled meat and fish anymore."

"Well, I want to drink, take a hot bath, eat delicious food, and then sleep under a fluffy quilt..."

The four of them thought beautifully, but as soon as they opened the courtyard door, they were interrupted by the young woman sitting in the middle of the small courtyard.

The brothers and sisters of the Su family didn't make a sound, because this is the courtyard rented by Hu Qingniu and Pei Xiang, the person who came here should be looking for them.

Sure enough, Hu Qingniu shouted happily:

"Nangu, you are here, when did you arrive?"

The young woman turned around, with black eyebrows and cherry lips, and a beautiful face.

"Hu Qingniu, you haven't heard from me for more than a month, I thought you had an accident."

As soon as this woman opened her mouth, she knew that her temperament was definitely not as gentle and delicate as her appearance, but a hearty and direct temper.

Hu Qingniu scratched his head, apologetic:

"I'm sorry Nangu, I didn't expect to stay in the mountains for more than two months. Hey, did I scare you? It's all my fault."

Wang Nangu didn't continue to talk to Hu Qingniu, she walked to Pei Xiang, checked her from head to toe, and then breathed a sigh of relief:

"Little junior sister, you are messing around with your brother too, look at your skirt and shoes..."

She paused suddenly, probably because she realized that there were brothers and sisters from the Su family present, so she couldn't criticize her junior sister so bluntly, so she had to swallow the second half of the sentence.Wang Nangu gave Pei Xiang a sneaky look, nodded to Su Zheng and Su Rongrong to say hello, and called them to come in and rest.

After some self-introductions, the Su brothers and sisters learned that this Wang Nangu who suddenly appeared was a fellow teacher and sister of the Hu brothers and sisters.

The relationship between the three is very good, and they have been exchanging letters and reporting their safety regularly.But this trip to the mountains to collect herbs exceeded the expected time, which led to the sudden interruption of the letter reporting safety.Wang Nangu was worried that her brothers and sisters would be in danger, so she hurried over.

"Senior Sister, how long have you been here? Didn't you write a letter to Master?" Pei Xiang took a sip of hot tea and narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Wang Nangu said angrily:

"I have been here for seven or eight days, and after inquiring about the situation of you two with the villagers here, I found out that you have gone to the mountains to collect herbs, so I didn't write to Master in a hurry, thinking about waiting. However, you If I come out three or five days later, I will definitely notify Master, Uncle, and the others, and then go into the mountains to search for the whereabouts of you and Senior Brother Hu."

Pei Xiang glanced at Hu Qingniu who had been sitting aside with a smirk all the time, and thought that this person is no longer clamoring to drink, bathe and eat delicious food. Looking at this posture, he is satisfied just sitting here and looking at Senior Sister Wang.

Following Pei Xiang's line of sight, Wang Nangu also saw Hu Qingniu who was sitting still.She was happy at first, then thought of something, suddenly her cheeks flushed, and she felt a little uncomfortable all over.

Pei Xiang looked left and right, and suddenly felt that he was a little redundant, so he yawned pretendingly, rubbed his eyes and left the hall.

In the original book, Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu are a loving couple, and they are called "medicine fairy" and "poison fairy".

The two learn the same art and each has its own strengths.Wang Nangu is good at poison, and Hu Qingniu is proficient in medicine. Although the two have a deep relationship, they each have their own persistence in the fields they love and are obsessed with, and they are secretly fighting for each other.They were noisy and affectionate for many years, and finally died together at the hands of the revenge-seeking Granny Jinhua.

Pei Xiang deduced from the few words in the original book that the lovers Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu should have married six or seven years ago, but the Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu she knew had been single until now, and they hadn't even made it clear.

For this, Pei Xiang can probably guess some reasons.

Wang Nangu is a very competitive woman. Since Pei Xiangbai joined the school, she has been catching up with and even surpassing her brothers and sisters in martial arts, medicine and poison. This has aroused Wang Nangu's enthusiasm for competition.

She spent more time and energy in the field she was good at, with an unyielding tenacity to concentrate on research, and naturally lost a lot of time for romance.

At the same time, Hu Qingniu also has his own obsession with medical research. He saw his sister's rapid progress, and he was willing to lag behind others, so he devoted himself to research every day, regardless of world affairs.

In this way, the two young men and women who liked each other slowed down their emotional pace and kept pace in their careers.Gradually, a few years passed in a flash, and the two never talked about marriage, but they had a tacit understanding between each other that no one else could penetrate.

Pei Xiang would occasionally ask Hu Qingniu when he could take the initiative and confess his feelings to Wang Nangu.Hu Qingniu always thinks that Pei Xiang is troublesome. He said that everything has to be done slowly before the time comes.

What is the "timing" Hu Qingniu mentioned, Pei Xiang is not very clear.However, when she saw Wang Nangu appearing in Xishan Village, she felt a sudden movement in her heart, and then she realized that the "time" her brother said had arrived.

After breakfast the next day, Pei Xiang seized the opportunity to ask Hu Qingniu:

"Brother, did you always praise Su Rongrong in the letter you sent to Senior Sister Wang?"

Hu Qingniu rolled his eyelids, secretly complacent:

"I didn't particularly praise Miss Su, I just praised the talents of the brothers and sisters of the Su family. What's the matter, what did your senior sister ask you?"

Pei Xiang glanced at Hu Qingniu with a smile: "You can't guess what my senior sister asked me?"

Hu Qingniu smiled, and instead of playing tricks with Pei Xiang, he confessed directly:

"Your senior sister has been like this since she was a child. She loves to fight for everything, and she will be unhappy if she doesn't fight. Hey, I wrote so many letters to her before, and I kept asking her to come and live with us and go out with us. Jianghu, she just doesn't want to. You see, I just mentioned it a little bit, and a young girl who is more powerful and good at using poison appeared beside me, and she couldn't sit still before she said anything more."

Pei Xiang looked at his elder brother in amazement, and thought that this person is usually too lazy to use his brain, and could even be fooled by a hypocrite like Xian Yutong, but he is really shrewd when it comes to dating.

"Then why didn't you use this trick before?"

"Your senior sister is not stupid. Not everyone can make her feel a sense of crisis. Haven't I been waiting for an opportunity?"

"What if you haven't waited for this opportunity?"

"Then I must change the method, the big deal... I'll go to find her myself and pester her."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows and asked with interest:

"Then you deliberately didn't write down the time of your return before going to the mountain to collect herbs, did you also want to make Senior Sister anxious?"

Hu Qingniu shook his head and said repeatedly:

"Don't talk nonsense, how could I be willing to scare Aunt Nan on purpose? Don't forget, it was obviously you who had to go to the cliff to collect the Seven Star Snake Grass, which made us have to delay for many days."

Pei Xiang snorted softly, and said unconvinced:

"It only took me seven or eight days to pick the Seven Star Snake Grass, and you provoked those monkeys who held grudges, which led us to take the wrong route completely. Brother, don't shirk responsibility so confidently."

Hu Qingniu touched his nose, but fell silent.

At this time, Su Rongrong came in with a bowl of sweet soup, she smiled playfully at Pei Xiang, but gave the sweet soup to Hu Qingniu.

Pei Xiang looked at the two of them silently, and suddenly sighed.

"Brother, what kind of deal did you reach with Rong Rong? Let her pretend to be warm and attentive to you, and then make my senior sister feel a sense of crisis?"

Hu Qingniu picked up the sweet soup and nodded happily, feeling very smart.

Seeing Pei Xiang staring at Tian Tang, he persuaded with a smile:

"Sister, although Brother Wei doesn't like this kind of sweet soup very much, but it's a full set for acting, Brother Wei can't let you drink it. If you are greedy, you can cook it yourself in a small pot. "

Pei Xiang shook his head, trying not to show his pity.

"Brother, I'm sure I won't destroy your plan, this soup, you can enjoy it yourself."

Hu Qingniu nodded slightly, he drank the sweet soup while thinking about Wang Nangu's happy life after marrying him.

Then, Hu Qingniu slowly stiffened his smile.

He felt his lips and forehead burning, and his nose swelled and itched.

Pei Xiang smiled and asked Su Rongrong: "Do you have a bronze mirror with you?"

Su Rongrong nodded, took out the bronze mirror and handed it to Hu Qingniu, so that Hu Qingniu could see his current appearance clearly.

Hu Qingniu squinted his eyes and stared at the red and swollen face in the mirror, and immediately realized that he was poisoned.

He raised his head and glared at Su Rongrong angrily, wondering why this person wanted to frame him.

Su Rongrong quickly waved her hand, indicating that she did not poison him.

At this time, Wang Nangu's cold voice came from outside the door:

"It was me who poisoned you. Hu Qingniu, I just want you to see clearly how you can please a girl with your face."

Pei Xiang chuckled, and said to himself that indeed a mountain is higher than a mountain.

She dragged Su Rongrong out, not forgetting to add insult to injury:

"Brother, your previous idea was really good. But don't forget, although senior sister has a strong desire to compete, she doesn't have to follow your idea to be jealous. She just cleans you up and be honest. gone?"

Hu Qingniu: "Woooooooooooooooooo..."

——Sister, don't go...

——Auntie, I was wrong...
