get married first, fall in love later

After climbing over the hill and walking forward for about an incense stick, a house with blue bricks and red tiles suddenly appeared in the green valley.

With the mountain as the screen and grass as the tent, the prosperity is embellished with beautiful birds.The old man Yaodu's residence stands impressively in this fairy-like scene, like a paradise of peach blossoms.

Qian Xiaobao and the others pushed open the door and entered, walked through the front yard to the hall, looked around but did not see a single figure, just wondering, suddenly there was a light voice: "Who is here?"

This female voice does not sound clear, but it is as sweet as Lin Laiquan's rhyme, especially when it is heard in such a beautiful place, it makes people feel that only such a moving voice is worthy of the beautiful scenery in front of them.

"My servant, Qian Xiaobao, took the liberty to come here to ask for medicine. If there is any disturbance, please forgive me, senior."

Although he heard his voice but couldn't see him, Qian Xiaobao had no choice but to bow to the void in front of him, and open his mouth to explain his intention.

"Oh? What medicine do you ask for? And why do you ask for it?"

This voice speaks at a gentle speed, warm and comfortable to the ear, and seems to have a soothing effect. It seems to float out of nowhere in front of your eyes, and it seems to penetrate through the stone wall behind you. Although it is invisible, it seems to be listening The person who is wearing it is tightly wrapped in it, which is really very mysterious.

"A plague broke out in Pinghu not far from here a few months ago. There were good doctors in the county who prepared a prescription for the disease, but only the two medicinal materials "Feng Tong Cao" and "Jiu Yu" were missing, so the following A few people took the liberty to come here to bother me, and I hope that the senior can give me medicine."

After Qian Xiaobao roughly explained the truth clearly, he did not wait for a reply. The ethereal voice came suddenly, but it seemed to disappear out of thin air again abruptly, without leaving even a trace.

Several people stood on the same ground and looked at each other, not knowing what to do next, the previous voice sounded again: "I am in the medicine garden in the backyard, turn left and go straight through the hall door and you will see it."

"Thank you, senior." Qian Xiaobao didn't hesitate at the moment, took Ouyang Xi's hand and went out as he said, and sure enough, he saw a bluish-white figure in the distance in the endless medicine garden in the backyard.

When the four of them approached, they saw a woman dressed in blue and white coarse cloth was lowering her head and arranging a medicinal herb in front of her. Simple but undeniably beautiful.During the activity, there is a little bit of jade fat on the neck, which is as clear as snow and delicate as silk. She should be a young girl in her twenties.

According to the information Qian Xiaobao collected before, the old man Yaodu lived alone in Yaowang Valley all the year round, and the world rarely saw his face.Therefore, not only the age and appearance, but also the temperament and disposition are difficult to know.There are even different opinions about her gender. Some say that she is a woman in her sixtieth year, while others say that she is an old man in her dying years.The only thing that is certain is that she has only accepted two disciples in this life, one of which is Xia Lingyu, the young master of Jianling Pavilion, and as for the other, there are very few rumors in the world, so no one knows about it .

So, could it be that the person in front of him is another disciple of old man Yaodu?

Qian Xiaobao thought so in his heart, so he said softly to the woman in front of him: "Dare to ask, is the lady a disciple of this medicine king's valley? We have something important to see during our trip, and please ask the lady to make it easier for us to ask the respected teacher for us. Introduction."

As soon as the words fell, the woman in front of her suddenly stopped, put the medicine hoe aside, turned to Qian Xiaobao and said, "You are looking for my master."

Qian Xiaobao and the others were stunned when they heard the voice, and they were stunned again when they looked up at the woman's appearance.The voice is warm and pleasant, mellow and charming, it is the one I heard in the hall before, but this appearance, although not as young as I thought before, but the skin is firm and smooth, and it is only about 20 years old by visual inspection age.However, when she stands gracefully in front of her, looking you up and down, the mature, dignified and stable face on her face is incompatible with this slightly immature face.

A 20-year-old face, a 30-year-old voice, and a 40-year-old temperament, these seemingly different points are perfectly integrated in this person in front of him, which makes people feel unbelievable, but wonderful.

Qian Xiaobao and the others were all dumbfounded at the first moment, and after a moment of stupefaction, they hurriedly replied: "Yes."

The woman seemed to have heard something very funny, her eyes narrowed and the corners of her mouth raised, but she didn't laugh out loud, she just turned around and picked up the medicine hoe again, squatted down and continued to clear the weeds in front of her, saying: " My master, her old man has been driving west of Hexi for many years, if you are looking for her, you have come to the wrong place."

The old man Yaodu has passed away for many years?Never heard of this news before.Qian Xiaobao turned his head and asked Qian Er with his eyes, but the other party just frowned slightly and shook his head at her.

Since Wu Lingxi brought them here to search for medicine, she should be very clear about the situation here. Why didn't she even disclose the news that the old man Yaodu had passed away in advance?Could it be that she told them to come to find this disciple?

Regardless of whether the old man Yaodu is still there, as long as he can get the medicine, what's the point of begging the woman in front of him?After thinking for a while, Qian Xiaobao said: "Since Senior Yao Du has passed away, how dare I ask the girl if I can give the medicine for you?"

"Passed away?" The woman sneered and turned her head back: "Young man, I think that although you are handsome, your eyes are not very good. You are not as good as an old man like me."

young people?old man?Qian Xiaobao's brain was running fast, and he was about to straighten out what the woman meant by what she said, when an explosive news hit him again.

"If I don't happen to be standing right in front of you, where does the word of passing away come from?"

"You?" Without waiting for Qian Xiaobao's reaction this time, Ouyang Xi's eyes widened in surprise: "You said you are the old man Yaodu?"

The old man Yaodu raised his head and glanced at her lightly, without stopping his movements, he just shook his head lightly and said, "Why are young people nowadays so frizzy, without a trace of gentleness?"

After all, Qian Xiaobao has traveled in the rivers and lakes for many years and has seen many storms and waves. After digesting this incredible information with a steady mind, he bowed respectfully to the old man Yaodu and said: "Your ignorant, abrupt, Don’t blame seniors.”

"It's okay." Old Yaodu waved his hand lightly: "I think it's my appearance that deceives others, so I can't blame you."

"Yes." Ouyang Xi echoed without thinking, and then leaned forward and asked unwillingly: "Are you really a senior Yaodu? But this age seems to be about the same as us."

"Your girl speaks well." Yao Du old man smiled indifferently towards her: "But it's too exaggerated. The apprentice I raised since childhood is about the same age as you."

That is to say, the person in front of her who looks about the same age as her is actually 60 or [-] years old?Don't tell me, if you just look at her temperament and the tone and demeanor when she speaks, it is enough to be convincing.It's just that the face is well maintained, right?How many hyaluronic acid injections, face-lifting injections, and skin-lifting operations are required to achieve this effect?Thinking of this, Ouyang Xi's eyes lit up, and the expression on his face was no longer enough to describe with excitement.

"Senior, how did you take care of it? The effect is too good, right?"

The old man Yaodu frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Maintenance?"

"It means that you have a good face, er...to put it plainly, how can you always be so young and beautiful?"

"Oh." The old man Yaodu showed a look of enlightenment, and then stroked the herbs in his hand casually, and said lightly: "It's just that these things have been played with for a long time, and they have gained some benefits after long-term exposure."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xi was a little disappointed: "I thought I had taken some kind of elixir for beauty and beauty. There are countless exotic flowers and plants in your valley. Don't you usually use them to refine some elixirs?"

"Of course there are pills."

"Really?" Ouyang Xi stepped forward excitedly to hold the arm of the person in front of him, and said coquettishly, shaking back and forth: "Is the elixir still available? Can you give me some?"

The old man Yaodu lived alone in the valley all year round, except for his two disciples who entered the house, he rarely had contact with outsiders.Occasionally someone would come to ask for medicine, needless to say, with a respectful and respectful attitude, and they would throw thousands of dollars at every turn, like Ouyang Xi who was acting like a spoiled child, the first one to ask for it.

However, although the doll in front of her is not as quiet and well-behaved as ordinary girls, gentle and dignified, she is not annoying at all.Even the agility and clarity of her demeanor, and the innocence and straightforwardness of her frowns and smiles make people feel happy for no reason.

However, if she could get whatever she wanted here, wouldn't the people of the world rush to empty her valley?Immediately, he pretended to be angry and snorted coldly: "I just heard that you are going to take "Phoenix Tongue Grass" and "Dove Feather", and now you are asking for beauty pills, I think you are young, and your appetite is not good. Small."

Seeing this, Qian Xiaobao hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Ouyang Xi to his side, then turned to explain to the old man Yaodu: "Don't blame me, senior, she has a childlike heart, and she just opened her mouth to ask you for pills on a whim, and she definitely didn't mean to offend .”

Ouyang Xi was afraid that his slip of the tongue would cause them to fail in finding the medicine this time, so she waved her hands again and again and said, "I don't really want the beauty pill, so just pretend I didn't say what I just said." Following Qian Xiaobao's previous appearance, he saluted the person in front of him decently.

To be honest, Qian Xiaobao is humble and pleasing, with a beautiful posture in the manner of the ancients, but Ouyang Xi is a bit imitative when he learns it. Not only is it funny and funny, but he also shows a bit of a naive attitude. Looking at it with joy in my heart, I suppressed a smile and said: "Forget it, don't stand here anymore, if you have anything to say, go back to the house."
