girl riding a horse

Xie Yuan looked at him for a while, then lowered his head and said:

"Okay, I choose to believe, go home and change clothes."

She got on the horse by herself and stretched out her hand towards Shen Liuzhen.

Shen Liuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, put his hand on Xie Yuan's, stepped on the stirrup, and was dragged up by Xie Yuan, and sat behind Xie Yuan.

Only then did Shen Liuzhen feel cold, shivering all over his body, so he hugged Xie Yuan's waist from behind, hugged him tightly, and said:

"...You might as well punch me twice, why kick me into the river, it's cold~"

His last word trembled into a wavy sound, and the ending sound rose, which sounded very pitiful.

Xie Yuan flicked the rein, and the horse started galloping. She said in a cold voice:
"If you want to take two punches, I can make up for it."

"No, no, no... No need." Shen Liuzhen said quickly.

The cold sound came over as the horse ran, but most of the wind was blocked by Xie Yuan sitting in front, and Shen Liuzhen's arm holding Xie Yuan tightened a bit.

……

As soon as the two of them arrived at the gate of the county mansion, they saw a young man of fifteen or sixteen, dressed in Jianghu clothes, also riding a horse from the other side.

Xie Yuan slowed down subconsciously, and when he saw the boy's appearance clearly, he shouted in surprise:
"Daoer!"

Shen Dao's eyes are very similar to Xie Yuan's. His sword eyebrows and starry eyes are full of heroism and power, but when he smiles, he opens his mouth, but he has the charm of Shen Liuzhen's innocuousness to humans and animals. Anyone who looks at it will think this is someone else The little boy who grew up carefree.

But in fact, he was rarely by his parents' side since he was a child, and was taken around by Xie Yuan's personal soldier, Zhao Nianyou.As for the reason, Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen had already told him that it was to avoid the emperor's revenge.

When Shen Dao saw his parents, he immediately slipped off the horse and ran all the way.

The rucksack on his body seemed quite heavy, and he held it on his waist with one hand. He moved swiftly, like a little leopard, and ran to Xie Yuan's side in a short while.

Xie Yuan got off his horse and just hugged his son.

Shen Liuzhen slowly got off the horse and stood behind Xie Yuan, trying to maintain his majesty as a father as much as possible.But the algae on the hair just fell on his nose, he raised his hand to pick it off in embarrassment, cleared his throat, and said:

"And I..."

When Shen Dao heard this, he quickly let go of Xie Yuan to hug him, and coaxed him like a little adult:

"Oh, my father is still so sour, how can I do without you, I can't do without." He said and hugged him vigorously.

Shen Liuzhen was so happy in his heart, he pursed his lips and tried to hold back his smile, and reached out to pat his son's back with an expression of embarrassment.

Shen Dao let them go, only then did he realize what was wrong, and said:

"Father, mother, where did you two get such muddy water?"

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen looked at each other, then moved their eyes away in embarrassment.Xie Yuan raised his hand to pick up the hem of his clothes and twisted it, the water splashed down.

Shen Liuzhen spoke first and said:
"Ah... what, the two of us went swimming in the lake, and accidentally fell off the boat, and that's how it happened."

Shen Dao looked sideways, obviously not convinced, but he laughed and said meaningfully:
"Oh~"

Xie Yuan couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and patted him on the head lightly, and taught him a lesson:
"Oh what, what are you thinking about? Go home and let the cook prepare delicious food for you."

Xie Yuan put his arms on Shen Dao's shoulders, like a pair of brothers, the two walked ahead, and Shen Liuzhen followed silently.

Shen Dao said, "I want General Xie to do it for me."

"Did I cook it deliciously? It's all made of big pot rice in the military camp. What's so delicious?" Xie Yuan disagreed.

"It's not delicious, but you can't eat it anywhere else, hahahaha..." Shen Dao said heartily, with a quack air all over him.

"Where's Zhao Nianyou? Didn't he follow?"

"He's gone to meet his sister-in-law, and I'll come back in a few days. By the way, Dad, this time I have collected a lot of good books, which are more useful than the last "Thousand Characters". I will show you later." Shen Dao turned his head and smiled at Shen Liuzhen, reached out and patted his backpack.

Although Shen Liuzhen was in a mess, he followed behind with a steady demeanor, and said with a smile:

"Can it be better than "Thousand Characters"? "Thousand Characters" is the first catchy children's literacy enlightenment book. What book can be better than it."

"Hey, all kinds of technical books, such as wine making, tofu making, water wheel well digging, and explanations and pictures. You are sure to be satisfied after reading it, and you will submit it to the capital later. Like "Thousand Characters", it is popularized across the country. That's good."

Shen Liuzhen hugged his wet sleeves, nodded with his father's airs, and replied with a smile:

"Okay, okay... I'll look back... Ah Choo!"

He sneezed and rubbed his nose in embarrassment, causing Xie Yuan to turn his head and look at him.

At this time they had just entered the courtyard, Shen Dao quickly said:

"I'm going to boil hot water for you to take a bath."

After saying that, like a gust of wind, he clutched his backpack and ran inside, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xie Yuan turned his head with his hands on his hips and looked at Shen Liuzhen. Shen Liuzhen immediately removed the disguise of a steady father, took Xie Yuan's elbow and began to act like a baby, and said in a weak voice:

"Oh, oh... I feel bad, maybe I'm going to have another cough."

Xie Yuan's heart was on fire. Although he knew that he was probably faking it, he couldn't help worrying.

He was so angry today that he didn't care about his body for a while.Although after coming here, I have recuperated for a long time and haven't suffered from it for a long time, but it is a fatal disease after all.

So she pursed her resolute lips with a cold face, grabbed his arm, and walked inside with him.

……

The family of three took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and stood in front of the table.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen held the brewed ginger tea in their hands, while Shen Dao drank the honey water.Three people stood in a row, each with a tea bowl, and the old god was drinking.

Shen Dao was still a young man, lively and active, so he was quiet for a short while, then excitedly put down the teacup, pointed to the books spread out on the table and said:
"This... This is not an ordinary winemaking process. I have seen it with my own eyes. It can make more mellow wine with less grain.

For making tofu, the pictures inside were drawn by myself, and there is only one in the world.hey-hey……"

Shen Liuzhen looked at the villain he was pointing at, almost spit out the ginger tea in his mouth, and said:
"Your painting skills are comparable to your mother's."

Shen Dao laughed happily when he heard that, he had some of Shen Liuzhen's thick skin, and said:
"If Father can improve one or two things, that would be great..."

At this time, someone from the doorman at the front came and sent a message:
"A young monk came outside the gate of the mansion. He wanted to see the two Patriarchs. He came from Pingcheng and said he had something important to report."

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen looked at each other, Xie Yuan asked:
"Your eyeliner? Because of the accident in Pingcheng?"

Shen Liuzhen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said:
"Monk?... I don't remember that there is a monk among my informants. Maybe it's a fake, let's go and see."

After finishing speaking, the two of them went out together, and Shen Dao wanted to follow, but was stopped by Shen Liuzhen:

"Dao'er, you just stay here."

……

When Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen passed by, they saw the back of a monk in cassock, with a bald back of his head, a bamboo hat on his head, and a Zen stick in his hand, standing in the middle of the courtyard and looking around leisurely.

Shen Liuzhen took two steps to one side, wanting to see what he looked like, but he didn't wait for him to make a sound.

The monk's momentum changed suddenly, he turned around and carried his Zen staff to sweep thousands of troops, and rushed towards Xie Yuan who was next to him.

Shen Liuzhen froze in fright.

Xie Yuan had just changed into women's attire, and it happened that his son had just returned, and he stayed at his home without a sword.

Seeing this, his pupils shrank, and he turned sideways to hide.

But the monk was too murderous, and he swung his staff with Guan Gong's broadsword. The copper ring on the staff made a "cracking" sound, and he tried his best to greet Xie Yuan's head.

Shen Liuzhen hurriedly shouted:
"There are assassins, come quickly!"

Xie Yuan, who was in the fight, dodged left and right, and after seeing clearly the face of the monk under the hat, he was shocked and exclaimed:

"His Majesty?!"

Shen Liuzhen was also dumbfounded when he heard that.

At this moment, Di Douyin hit the pillar with his Zen stick, and with great force, pieces of wood flew everywhere, and a piece of debris hit Xie Yuan who was hiding on the other side, drawing a bloodstain on her face.

Xie Yuan was still in shock, frowned and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, and asked:
"Didn't you already...how did you become a monk?!"

But Di Douyin laughed, showing a row of white teeth and laughed wildly, saying:

"It seems that the news of my death arrived sooner than others, Mr. Xie, you are getting old, your skills are not as good as before... just die!"

As he said that, he switched his front and back hands, whirled the Zen staff in a circle, and then hit Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan picked up the broom placed next to him, turned around and pasted it with the broom.

She moved quickly, the broom was originally lighter than a Zen stick, and suddenly the leaves on the broom's head were showing three bloodstains on Di Douyin's face.

Di Douyin stretched out his hand to touch his face, at this time all the soldiers in the mansion rushed over and surrounded Di Douyin tightly.

"Stand back!" Xie Yuan held the broom behind his back, his figure was tall and straight, and the broom seemed to be pulled out of a spear by her.

Although the soldiers felt weird, they retreated obediently, and there were only three of them left in the yard.

Di Douyin looked at the blood on his hands, then at Xie Yuan.With a twist of the wrist, he put the Zen stick on the ground, raised one hand, lowered his head and closed his eyes and said:

"Amitabha, mother, I tried my best, but I can't avenge you, or just forget it."

The tone was so casual, Shen Liuzhen couldn't help twitching his face twice, not knowing how to react...

Xie Yuan threw the broom in his hand, took two steps forward and taught him a lesson:

"As the king of a country, do you have such nonsense?! You have shaved your hair, are you really planning to become a monk?!"

Di Douyin raised his eyes and looked at her with stubbornness in his calmness.

He has eyebrows and eyes very similar to Ulei, for a moment, Xie Yuan even felt that.Wu Lei is not dead, he is still the same as when he was young, but she and Shen Liuzhen are both old...

"The emperor has indeed passed away. There is no more Shi Yudi Douyin in the world. I, my Dharma name is Wu Neng." The monk said with his face up, arrogance and pride in his calmness.

When Xie Yuan heard about it, she couldn't calm down for a long time. She turned her head and glanced at Shen Liuzhen, and saw Shen Liuzhen's mouth slightly opened in the same dumbfounded way.She turned her head, put her hands on her hips, and asked calmly as much as possible:
"Okay, Your Majesty... Wu Neng... Can you explain why you did this?"

"Guess, if you can't figure it out, let Shen Shizhong guess for you...I've traveled long distances for a long time, it's not too much to mess with you for a few fast meals, right?" Di Douyin gave Shen Liuzhen a white look, said it confidently, and went to the backyard by himself went.

Xie Yuan and Shen Liuzhen followed in a hurry...
