Chapter 4 Midnight
Zhang Ku quickly stood up holding the Supa and came to the little girl. His rough face smiled like a flower, "Girl, I just agreed to treat you to chicken."

Xin Nuo was not deaf, so she said thank you to Zhang Ku, then turned to the man sitting against the wall with one hand on his knees, nodded, and said with his lips: "Thank you."

Chu Wei didn't mean anything special, he just felt that the little girl's situation must be particularly difficult, and he was also worried that their grandparents and grandchildren would not be able to eat enough with the little food they had.

The new and old man clicked his tongue twice and said with a smile: "You girl, you have been related to food since you were a child."

No matter where you go, you won't be hungry.

Xinnuo held the handkerchief and asked her grandparents to eat first.

The new old man and the new old lady were also very considerate. Each of them took a piece and ate it, and then waved their hands to show that they were not hungry.

Xin Nuo picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. His face was stiff and he looked dry. Is this for human consumption?
But she quietly turned her head and saw several people over there, eating each piece of meat happily. The man ate it carefully, but his expression remained unchanged.

Xinnuo's gaze was noticed by him, and he glanced back, raising his eyebrows, as if asking, "Isn't it enough?"

Xin Nuo quickly waved his hand, indicating that it was enough to eat.

After eating two slices, I couldn't eat them at all. Xinnuo didn't torture himself, folded them and put them in his arms.

Grandma handed over a bowl of water, "Drink water, you've been on the road all day, go to bed early."

Da da da.

A sound of heavy footsteps came from outside the palace. The next moment, the door of the palace that had just been closed was pushed open, and an old man with wrinkles on his face like orange peel poked his head in.

"Taoist Master Qingyang, can I stay for one night?"

Half of the old man's body was blocked by the door, and in the night there seemed to be only a head with wrinkles and raindrops hanging in the crack of the door.

Hong Fan turned around when he heard the sound and screamed in fright.

The old Taoist priest recognized the person, stood up and said, "Don't panic, everyone. He is an acquaintance of mine, old man Min who grows melons."

"Are you just back from selling melons in Liuren Town? Come in quickly."

Old Man Min smiled sheepishly at Hongshan and his daughter, walked in and said, "It rained on the way, and there was no place to hide from the rain. I had to drive for half an hour in the rain to get here."

"That's right. From here to Liuren Town, there is no place to rest." The old Taoist priest took out a Taoist robe that was more worn out than the Taoist uniform he was wearing from a cabinet placed against the wall. "Go to the next door hall. Put it on. I still have some rice soup cooked by my apprentice. Let me warm it up for you."

Old Man Min thanked him repeatedly, put down the cloth bag containing several round objects in his hand, took the Taoist robe with both hands, and turned around tremblingly to go to the side hall.

There are two side doors in this main hall, which lead to the left and right side halls, opening on the east and west walls.

The old Taoist master and apprentice lived at the corner of the north wall and the east wall. When the old man walked over to get his clothes, it was inevitable that rain would drip all the way. Xie Fang and the hunter were one near the east wall and the other near the center of the hall.

Old Man Min walked over and dragged out traces of water in the middle, making both sides muddy.

Xie Fang was not happy and scolded: "You old man, can't you watch your eyes when you walk?"

Old Min stopped and kept apologizing, which only made Xie Fang more angry, so he stood up and pushed him away.

Here, Zhang Ku, who was outspoken, couldn't stand it anymore and was about to go over to fight the injustice. The hunter over there had already stood up and pushed Xie Fang back: "This is not your place, why are you so stupid?"

Facing a hunter who was taller and stronger than himself, Xie Fang didn't dare to be too tough, but in front of so many people, he couldn't even dare to reply.

He dared to curse a few times.

Fortunately, the hunter didn't argue with him. Seeing that he was obviously scared, he sat down with his fists raised.

Unexpectedly, Xie Fang insisted on using the last sentence: "What the hell, a crooked man has the nerve to pretend to be a hero and meddle in other people's business."

The hunter did not look good. His left eye was obviously smaller than his right eye, and there was a huddled scar on his left cheek. Hearing this, he immediately put down the fire stick in his hand, stood up and punched Xie Fang on the bridge of his nose.

The two men couldn't stop fighting. Chu Wei gave Hu Ping and Zhang Ku a look, and the two men went up to pull them apart.

I don't know what kind of guards this man has under him. They just pulled him away, and the two squatted down, as if they wouldn't give up until they were educated.

Before Xinnuo fell asleep, he heard the guard named Hu Ping saying, "We can shelter from the rain under the same roof on the same day. That is a fate that has been cultivated for hundreds of years. Are you fighting, not living up to this fate? Come on, hold on. Shake hands and we will still be friends when we meet again.”

Are they all kindergarten children?

Xin Nuo fell asleep while complaining. Because her grandpa was there, she slept very sweetly against her grandma.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by the sound of deliberately gentle footsteps. Of course, I was also awakened by suppressing it.

Xinnuo sat up and listened, the heavy rain had stopped, and occasionally there would be a rush of raindrops shaking off the leaves where the wind passed by.

A figure came back from outside. He looked like a scholar wearing trousers.

She stood up and carefully got out of the comfortable makeshift bed made of blankets between her grandparents.

The old man woke up and only turned over.

No questions were asked and no explanations were given.

Xinnuo didn't go through the main hall door so as not to wake up the others.

Coming out of the side door on the east side, the roof of the side hall here is leaky everywhere, and the fresh wind after the rain blows in, making it cool. A carriage and a bay-red horse are placed here.

Xin Nuo walked over and added some water to the gapped earthenware basin in front of Hong Ma before coming outside.

In the house just now, there were only a few starlights occasionally leaking out from the leaks, but in the pure black night outside, the sky was filled with stars.

After a heavy rain, the air is exceptionally fresh.Especially since it was late at night, I felt even more relaxed and happy.

Croak, croak, croak, frogs croaking from nowhere.

Xinnuo stretched her arms as she walked. She came out from the back door of the east side hall and walked for a long time before she saw a row of rooms in the back hall.

There are two-story wooden pavilions on both sides, and a six or seven-meter-high tower stands in the middle.

The moonlight is bright, and the plaque hanging on the first floor of the balcony is tilted to the west. Reflecting the moonlight, you can vaguely make out the three big characters that are very shabby.

Thousand-layer platform.

Xin Nuo licked his lips and felt that the word "Thousand Layers" had a sweet taste.

She has been like this since she was a child. She often feels familiar or unfamiliar about certain things and words.

Looking back, he saw that this place was dozens of feet away from the main hall, which was far enough. Xin Nuo stepped forward and walked to a patch of grass in front of the balcony.

Originally, he wanted to solve personal problems in the grass, but he forgot that it had just rained and the grass was wet. Soon Xinnuo came out again dragging a pair of wet shoes.

Looking at the deserted terrace again, she held up her skirt and stepped inside.

The wind seemed to have picked up again outside, and there was a sound of residual rain falling on the ground.

In the darkness, Xinnuo fastened his belt and then came out unexpectedly. When he saw a dark shadow under the moonlight, he pounced on it.

With a pop, the black shadow fell to the ground.
