The white clothes of the mountains and rivers are still as old as before

Until after dinner, the white clothes were still missing. Wen Kexing searched around the third and outer floors of the Four Seasons Villa three times, but he didn't see anyone else, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Axu, have you seen Lao Bai? Why haven't you come back yet?" Wen Kexing asked anxiously when he saw Zhou Zishu.

"Don't worry, and don't wander around in Zhuangzi. Uncle Master may not want to go back to the cave. Let's go find him together." Zhou Zishu was also worried about Bai Yi, and he didn't know where he went all day. Yes, Zhang Chengling, who had been busy all day, hurried to rest, and he also found it.

"Don't want to return? Dongfu? Laobai used to live in the mountains!" Wen Kexing followed Zhou Zishu out of the Four Seasons Villa, and walked towards the waterfall cliff, asking curiously as he walked.

"Don't be too big or small, he is much older than us, and he should be called uncle in the future." Zhou Zishu took him to the edge of the deep pool, looked at the white waterfall illuminated by the moonlight night, and rushed towards the waterfall. The cliff called loudly.

"Uncle! Uncle! I know you're inside, come out, it's late at night, we should go home!"

"Uncle! Uncle! Don't hide, it's New Year's Eve tomorrow, come home with us to celebrate the New Year!"

Uncle...Uncle...Uncle...Uncle...

Originally in the small hole in the cave, Bai Yi used the essence of the moonlight to close his eyes and concentrate, to calm his mind, and to replenish his lost cultivation, but he was disturbed by the "Uncle Master" who came through the rock wall , Bai Yi let out a breath of foul air, and got up angrily!

"Calling the soul!" The white clothes turned on the mechanism, walked towards the void like walking on flat ground, and bent down to look at the two guys standing in the deep pool by the edge of the cliff, whose reflections were entwined by the moonlit night.

"Master Uncle, you finally appeared. Can we come down and talk if we have something to say? I'm tired with my head up." Wen Ke Xingjian finally called people out, unfolded his folding fan, and said cheerfully.

"Uncle, it's windy up there, come down." Zhou Zishu also echoed.

"Can you two stop calling me Uncle Shi? You're calling me old!" The white robe slowly fell to the ground, looking at their playful smiles, he said angrily.

"How old is it? Our little uncle is clearly in his prime!" Wen Kexing stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Bai Yi's shoulders. This man was found with great difficulty, and he must not be allowed to run away.

"You haven't finished yet, have you? Do I recognize Brother Qin Huaizhang? Who is your cheap uncle? Don't get close to me!" Bai Yi shook Wen Kexing's hand away in disgust, and said angrily, as he said He was still retreating, but was blocked by Zhou Zishu.

"Okay, uncle, it's Chinese New Year, let's stop making trouble and go home first, shall we? If we have anything to say, let's go home and talk about it. If it's not possible, you can just scold the master when you worship the ancestors on the first day of the new year. "Zhou Zishu stopped behind him, persuading him nicely.

Bai Yi hummed angrily, but he had no choice but to go back to the Four Seasons Villa with them reluctantly. On the way, Zhou Zishu seemed to have thought of something, and took out the jade bell from his bosom and handed it to Bai Yi. before.

"Uncle, have you seen this?"

Bai Yi took the jade bell, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise, "Isn't this the bell I lost? Where did you find it?"

"Sure enough, it's yours. I found this in the secret compartment in the master's room, and I also found the booklet of disciples there." Zhou Zishu chuckled lightly, and he guessed right, the little bell was really white. of.

"Dark Pavilion? When did Qin Huaizhang sneak around? Why is he hiding my bell?!" Bai Yi held the jade bell.He said in shock and bewilderment.

"Who knows, master and his old man also hid junior brother Jiuxiao's safety lock and Axu's small wooden sword? By the way, master, what is the origin of your bell? Why is it a dumbbell without a bell core?" Seeing the owner of the bell, Wen Kexing naturally asked the doubts in his heart.

Bai Yi murmured that Qin Huaizhang was so naive, and walked back holding the bell, telling them both.

"Father Rong made this bell for me when I was just taking shape. At that time, I was running all over the mountains and couldn't find anyone, so he made this for me. He could find me wherever he went. Master thought the bell was too noisy, so he removed the core of the bell, and only kept this bell as a souvenir." Looking at the old things, Bai Yi couldn't help but think of the old man, and said with some emotion.

"If you say that, doesn't Master Master cherish this bell very much, why is it at Master's place?" Zhou Zishu also asked curiously.

"I thought I lost it. I searched for it for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by Qin Huaizhang. I've been hiding it for so many years. I'm so mad." Bai Yi recovered from his memory, looked at his bell, and said angrily: "Also, can you two stop calling me Shishu, just call me Laobai, otherwise, wouldn't that kid Chengling want to call me Taishishu? I'm only a young man among spiritual things. Shengsheng is called a grandpa!"

It’s hard to coax him back, so you have to follow him no matter what, right?Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing looked at each other with their backs turned to the white clothes, and they understood.

"Okay, Lao Bai is Lao Bai, don't say you are not used to it, I am not used to calling you uncle." Wen Kexing coaxed with a good temper.

Zhou Zishu smiled and said nothing, obviously agreeing with Wen Kexing's attitude, the title is just superficial, anyway, the title of little master in white is solid.

"You're the one who talks too much!" Bai Yi didn't know what the two of them were up to, so he scolded Wen Kexing angrily.

The three of them were walking among the mountains, chatting casually under the moonlight, and soon saw the lintel of the Four Seasons Villa.

Wen Zhou and the others had been working hard all day, finally coaxed the white clothes and brought them back, settled down, got up and went back to the bedroom with them, today is really a day of chaos.

----

The thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month-Lunar New Year's Eve.

Everyone got busy early in the morning.

Zhang Chengling woke up early in the morning and saw white clothes sitting cross-legged on a white sword, flying around in Zhuangzi, hanging red silk on each plaque, pasting festive couplet banners, and his master and teacher The uncle cooperated tacitly, one right and one left, and pasted corresponding couplets on the porch pillars at the door.

"Uncle Grand Master, Master Master, Uncle Master, you all got up so early~" Zhang Chengling trotted over and circled around them, especially when he saw the eyes in white clothes sitting on a sword with red silk hanging on it, it was completely written "I am eager to try" Four characters.

"Uncle Grand Master! Can I help you put up the banner?" Zhang Chengling spun around under the white clothes. It was fake to help, but it was true that he wanted to fly around to play.

"Zi Shu, didn't you agree with it last night? Take care of your apprentice!" Bai Yi controlled the soft sword under his body to lean a little bit, looking down at Zhang Chengling who was in high spirits, and heard that he opened his mouth to be Grand Master Uncle. A good-natured stare at the two watching guys.

Zhou Zishu suppressed his smile, walked up to Zhang Chengling, and pretended to be serious, saying: "Chengling, your grand uncle is awkward, you should just call him as usual, after all, after two generations, you have to Let your Grand Master get used to it, shall we?"

"Zhou Zishu! Did you do it on purpose? Did Wen Kexing bring you down, and even made fun of me!" Bai Yi sat on the sword, listening to his jokes, his ears were red with anger, and he roared viciously After saying a sentence, he controlled the sword to pass over Zhou Zishu's head, and he disappeared without a trace.

"Uncle, what are the master and uncle Taishi arguing about?" Zhang Chengling watched his master holding several scrolls of couplets and chasing his uncle Taishi, then ran away, leaned over to Wen Kexing, and asked puzzledly.

"It's okay, it's okay, your Grand Master uncle just said what he meant, and he didn't turn around for a while. In the end, it is your Grand Master who is sorry for him. You have kept him from him for so many years. Just let your master coax him." Wen Kexing He patted the boy on the shoulder and said gloatingly.

"Hey, what can't be said about it, it has to be hidden, I really don't know what they are thinking." Zhang Chengling curled his lips, becoming more and more confused about the twists and turns between the adults.Before, it was his uncle who was awkward and refused to recognize his master, but now it was his uncle who was awkward and refused to recognize his master. It was his master's fault anyway.

"You can't sigh when you celebrate the new year. Don't let the good luck of the year go away. It's okay. This is not something your child should worry about. Go and have breakfast first, and help with the work after dinner. There are no window grilles on the baskets, and it’s Chinese New Year, so you should dress up your home beautifully.” Wen Kexing scrolled through the remaining couplets, and only asked Zhang Chengling, and went to find Axu and the others, Zhou Zi Shu only took half of the couplet, but the other half is in his hands.

The courtyard was bustling just now, but now Zhang Chengling is the only one left. He looked at the couplets "Everything is going well" posted by the adults just now, and then at the adults who had disappeared, and just wanted to sigh , Thinking of the uncle's words, he took it back, stretched his waist and went to eat first, he will be busy later.

The other guy, Zhou Zishu, chased after the white clothes and coaxed him nicely, but Lao Bai is a soft-spoken and soft-hearted person, and he will be fine after being coaxed for a few words. When Wen Kexing came to find him, the three of them would be fine As if, they cooperated with each other to paste couplets on all the door plaques and pillars in the villa.

The white-clothed control sword flew a little higher, overlooking the newly decorated, festive and lively villa, the gloom in my heart was completely dissipated, the new year should have a new atmosphere, it should be lively and lively.

Flying high and looking far away, he saw Zhang Chengling holding a pot of paste, carrying a large basket of window grilles they bought at the market the day before yesterday, and was busy going from window to door, so he flew closer and hung In front of Zhang Chengling, who was not far or near, asked: "How much is this posted? Why are there so many?"

"Too..." Zhang Chengling just wanted to call Tai Shishu, but Bai Yi gave him a stare. He scratched his hair and said awkwardly: "Bai Shu, I have posted more than half of Zhuangzi, and there are still many left, Bai Yi." Uncle, can you help me?"

"Isn't it because you and your uncle were yelled at by the little girl selling window grilles and bought all of her window grilles, and what you bought was pasted by yourself." Walking out of Zhang Chengling's sight, he left him as a young boy, staring at a large basket of window grilles.

----

Breakfast and lunch are casual fillings, but the New Year's Eve dinner has to be carefully planned. It's not just this afternoon that Wen Kexing is busy in the kitchen.

"Smelly boy, come here and kill the chicken with a knife." Wen Kexing kept cutting the side dishes, and called out to Zhang Chengling who was helping him to light the fire.

Zhang Chengling stood up straight, looked back at the big rooster tied to the stove, and said hesitantly, "Master, you want me to kill it?" How could he kill a chicken?

"Could it kill you, don't hurry up, the chicken needs to be stewed for a long time to get the flavor." Wen Kexing held the kitchen knife and glanced sideways, and said bluntly.

Zhang Chengling was still a little scared, he hesitated to discuss: "Uncle Shi, you should assign me some other work, I really don't dare."

Seeing his hesitation, Wen Kexing became angry, chopped the kitchen knife directly into the chopping board, and said angrily, "You don't even dare to kill a chicken, what else can you do?!"

It happened that Zhou Zishu wandered over to the kitchen with a jug of wine, wanting to see how the preparations for the New Year's Eve dinner were going. When Wen Kexing saw him drinking wine leisurely, he became very angry. He said: "You two, master and apprentice, are not working all day long. You don't know the five grains. You eat too much and are lazy. You dare to trick me into being a slave! I don't care, you have to do it for the New Year's Eve dinner today!"

"I don't know how to cook. Isn't there a little uncle to help you? Besides, if you have something to do, the disciple will do his best. Cheng Ling, come on, I will be optimistic about you for the teacher!" Spreading out his hands, he said that he really doesn't know how to cook, and then gave Zhang Chengling a strong look in your eyes, and walked away with a flagon in his hand, so he won't stay here any longer, so as not to be caught by Wen Kexing again after the New Year's Eve chatter.

Zhang Chengling only looked at his master's back and murmured, then picked up the kitchen knife and faced the reality.

The reality is that he is half a boy, and he can't even beat a chicken. He yelled to cheer himself up, and when he slashed down with the kitchen knife, the chicken jumped up and smashed a bowl, chasing him. Thrust out of the kitchen.

Wen Kexing put down the kitchen knife, looked at the chicken feathers flying around the kitchen and heard Zhang Chengling being chased by chickens and yelling for help, feeling extremely tired.

The white robe rolled up its sleeves and held a pot of processed crucian carp.As soon as he walked past the corner of the corridor, he ran into Zhang Chengling who was being chased by chickens and ran around, and he also rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Uncle Bai! Uncle Bai, save me, this rooster is too fierce!" Zhang Chengling ran over quickly and hid behind him as if seeing some life-saving straw when he saw Bai Yi, looking at the clucking big rooster , I was still terrified.

"It's because you are so useless, you can't even handle a chicken, Bai Chang is so big, what do you want to eat?" Bai Yi was speechless when he saw the scene of chickens flying around, and held the pot in his hand. The crucian carp was stuffed into Zhang Chengling's arms, and he was asked to carry it to the kitchen for Wen Kexing. Don't be an eyesore here, and he rolled up his sleeves to deal with the big rooster.

In just three strokes, five times and two divisions, Bai Yi took the big rooster that was trying to escape, and turned into the kitchen. Seeing Zhang Chengling was still in the kitchen, fussing around, he said angrily: "It's okay, it's okay." , don’t make trouble here, just leave it to me and your uncle, go and put out the nut snacks you bought two days ago, and send them to your master.”

Zhang Chengling seemed to be pardoned, he just said "Then I'm leaving" and flew out of the kitchen.

The martial uncle's knives are all raised, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, he will slip away first.

Wen Kexing gave Yu Gai Huadao a hand, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Yi's hand raised and lowered, and the big rooster who was still in high spirits just now died!

"This is really a happy life for master and apprentice." He looked at the kitchen, and he and Bai Yi were the only two people left busy, so he couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Okay, if you have the time to make sarcastic remarks, why don't you bring me a basin of hot water, I'll pluck the feathers." Waiting for the big rooster to bleed clean, Bai Yi beckoned Wen Kexing to give him a hand. These days, He was busy with Wen Kexing in the kitchen, but the cooking skills in this kitchen became more and more proficient. He killed chickens, bled them and shed their feathers. He was fearless as long as the blood didn't get on his white clothes.

"It's a good thing I taught you some time ago, otherwise I wouldn't be able to manage this New Year's Eve dinner alone." The two of them cooperated more and more tacitly, and the chicken, duck and fish were all cleaned up, put on the cutting board, and waited to be cooked. up.

Even in the evening, the fireworks in the kitchen had not been extinguished, and the villa had long been filled with a tempting aroma, and Zhang Chengling, who was greedy, kept walking around in the kitchen.

It wasn't until the last dumpling was put into the pot that Wen Kexing and Bai Yi wiped off their sweat together. They were done with their work. When they saw Zhang Chengling at the door of the kitchen, they greeted him and told him to come over and serve the dishes quickly.

Braised crucian carp in brown sauce, duck stuffed with eight treasures, braised pork with preserved vegetables, garlic pork ribs, Longjing shrimp, cold mountain delicacies...

Zhou Zishu looked at the new year's dishes on the table and smelled the fragrance of the room, feeling extremely comfortable.

When Wen Kexing took Zhang Chengling to put the dumplings and the chicken soup with bamboo shoots stewed all afternoon on the table, the eight dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner would be ready.

"Where's Lao Bai?" Zhou Zishu saw that the dishes were ready, but the people were not there yet, so he asked Wen Kexing where the white clothes had gone.

"I don't know where to go after making the dumplings. Chengling, go find your grand master." Wen Kexing looked at the sky, it was already dark at night, but the white clothes hadn't come back, so he called Zhang Chengling to find someone .

Before Zhang Chengling sat down, he stood up and wanted to find someone. How could he move his chopsticks before the person came, he was so hungry.

Before he could walk out of the main hall, Bai Yi walked in with a big dirty jar in his arms.

"Where did you go, Lao Bai? What did you take?" Zhou Zishu sat in the main seat, facing the door, and asked as he watched Bai Yi come in.

"This is a good thing, you'll definitely like it." Bai Yi didn't put the jar on the dining table, but put it on a desk next to it. He also greeted Zhang Chengling and told him to go to the kitchen to bring a basin of water. Here is a veil, this jar is too dirty, he has to wipe it.

Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing surrounded him curiously. A person in white who usually loves to be clean, why is he holding a dirty jar like a baby at this time.

"What is this?" Wen Kexing looked at the jar up and down twice, and asked curiously.

When Zhang Chengling came back with a basin of water and a handkerchief, while wiping the jar in white, he said leisurely: "This is the wine that your master buried when he was young. It was buried secretly in the plum grove outside the village. It's worthless to say the least." More than 20 years old."

Zhou Zishu's eyes lit up when he heard this, looking at that jar was like looking at a treasure, and couldn't help touching it with his hands: "It's really a good thing, we are lucky."

"Isn't he blessed with good taste? He is not willing to drink the good wine, which is all at your advantage." Bai Yi knocked open the mud on the mouth of the altar, and the mellow wine fragrance filled the room in an instant. Zhou Zishu could only smell the wine. With the smell of wine, I couldn't help swallowing, and impatiently poured out an empty wine jug, and handed it to Bai Yi's hand.

"Look, I'm so greedy. Your master buried a lot back then. I'll tell you where he hid it. When you want to drink, dig it yourself." Bai Yi cursed with a smile.

The wine had been buried for too long, and the large jar that was originally full had become as thick as pulp, only enough to fill three wine jugs.

Now the food and drink are ready, and the four of them sit around the dining table.Zhou Zishu was always good at wine, but he still poured a glass of aged wine for each of the two great heroes.

"Respect the hero first, you two have worked hard today, I will do it first as a respect!" Zhou Zishu was aroused by the smell of the wine, he picked up the wine glass and made a perfunctory respect, and then he couldn't wait to drink it up After taking a sip, he couldn't help sighing as soon as he took a sip of the mellow and dense wine: "Good wine!"

"The wine is strong, you little alcoholic, why are you in a hurry? Eat some vegetables first." Bai Yi didn't touch the glass of wine, but first took two mouthfuls of vegetables for Zhou Zishu.

Wen Kexing also only took a sip, the wine is good, but unfortunately there is too little, A Xu likes it, so I have to save some more for him, seeing that Lao Bai gave A Xu some meat and vegetables, so he picked up a mountain of chopsticks Jane put it in his bowl and muttered: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, try this, this is what Lao Bai went to the mountains to pick a few days ago, it is fresh."

"Master, master, I also want to taste the wine hidden by Grand Master." Zhang Chengling only smelled the smell of wine that filled the room, and he was a little smoky, looking at the jug held by his master, really I really want to try it.

Zhou Zishu moved the jug closer to him again, looking very reluctant, but the apprentice's eager eyes made him a little unnatural, so he could only say awkwardly: "You are still young, you can't drink such strong wine, you can't drink chicken soup. You are growing up, so you need to make up for it." As he spoke, he filled a bowl of stewed chicken soup and handed it to Zhang Chengling.

Wen Kexing couldn't tell that Zhou Zishu was stingy with fine wine, but he saw through it and put two ribs in Zhang Chengling's bowl.

Since Bai Yi had prepared fine wine for Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu, how could he forget about Zhang Chengling? He took out a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice with honey from under the table, chilled it with spiritual power before pouring it for Zhang Chengling. He took a cup and put it by his hand, and said: "You are only so old, don't learn from your master, you have become an alcoholic at a young age, drink this."

Zhang Chengling looked at the chicken soup in his hand, the pork ribs in the bowl and the fruit juice in his hand, and looked around at the three smiling elders at the dining table, his eyes turned sour.

"Hey, hey, what's the matter with you? Why do you still want to drop golden beans during the Chinese New Year? Don't cry, you've shed tears, and you'll be in trouble for a year! Hold back!" Wen Kexing looked at him The boy on the opposite side, his eyes turned red, his mouth curled up, and there were tears, and he yelled angrily.

"I didn't cry, I was happy. I thought I would have no home in this life. Who knew I could live such a decent year." Zhang Chengling sniffed and suppressed the tears that piled up in his eyes. Celebrating the new year with his parents and brother, he thought that after his family was destroyed, he would never have a home again, but the three adults in front of him brought him the same warmth as home.

Think about it, Zhang Chengling is actually very lucky. Although he has encountered misfortune, he has made a bright future in another village. He has a master who is strict but has high expectations for him. The soft-hearted uncle who is most used to him.

Home is where they are.

The author has something to say:

Chinese New Year should look like Chinese New Year, and Chinese New Year should have a sense of New Year’s ceremony.

Even if Lao Bai is promoted, it doesn't affect their daily chatter, they have to do what they have to do.

Cherish the peace of the moment, the climax is coming soon.
