Yang Shengzi and his son then headed west. The ends of the world were indeed too far away.

Not only is it far away, but there are also various forces secretly obstructing the westward journey, so the westward journey seems to be out of reach.

Even though there are countless dangers ahead, he still has to go, because Yang Shengzi is not living for himself, but for the dead.

As long as you don't die, anything is possible.

Men should strengthen themselves!

At the moment, Yang Shengzi and his wife were walking in a small forest.

The fields are connected to the streets, the Qiu Mausoleum is covered with trees, the towering wild trees welcome the door, and the bridge over the winding stream reflects the door.

I saw a young man with a wooden sword wearing light green clothes and a turban on his head, holding a wooden sword in his hand. His hands kept moving, waving randomly in the air, and there was a rustling sound.

The young man with a wooden sword is named Jing, and his first name is Jing Ming, which means light in his heart.

Jing Ming, a young man with a wooden sword, saw two young people passing by, Yang Shengzi. Then he blocked their way with his wooden sword and shouted:

"I opened this place and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave money to buy it!"

Jing Ming, a boy with a wooden sword, saw the man just looking at him calmly. Could it be that he had overplayed his pretense and met a ruthless person?

Jing Ming, a young man with a wooden sword, hurriedly took back the wooden sword and wanted to apologize to the young man Yang Shengzi.

Unexpectedly, a girl figure rolled over with a dog stick in her hand, and hit her head with the dog stick.

Jing Ming, a boy with a wooden sword, suddenly put the wooden sword across his head. The wooden sword suddenly broke, and the dog stick took advantage of the situation and fell straight down. A big swelling was left on the head of Jing Ming, a boy with a wooden sword.

It was the young girl Eiko who was hit with a stick. Thanks to her only using three-thirds of her strength, if she had used all her strength, the boy with the wooden sword would definitely be in danger!

Young girl Yingzi saw Jingming, a boy with a wooden sword, hugging his head and crying. His eyes followed Yang Shengzi behind him. Yang Shengzi nodded slightly. Then young girl Yingzi gave up and rolled back with a dog stick in hand.

"How is it? Is this road opened by your family?" The young man looked at Jing Ming, a young man with a wooden sword holding his arms and crying, and said softly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. It's just because my sister at home is in urgent need of money. I thought that having more money would only give me an extra tael of silver. I ask this young man to forgive me."

"How much do you want?" Yang Shengzi's eyes wandered, as if he could see through the heart of this young man with a wooden sword.

"Five taels, don't ask for more, kid. Five taels is really enough and you won't be trying to trick anyone!"

Yang Shengzi pondered for a moment, and then he motioned with his eyes to the girl beside him, Yingzi, to give him five taels of silver.

The girl Yingzi reluctantly approached Jing Ming, the young man with a wooden sword, took out her small package, fiddled with it for a long time, and then threw dozens of pieces of silver into the hands of the green young man.

Seeing that the five taels of silver were gone, the girl Yingzi felt empty.

The boy with the wooden sword carefully put dozens of pieces of silver back into his pocket, thanked him, and ran towards the village.

Jing Ming, a boy with a wooden sword, kept saying words like "Look at my peerless swordsmanship" from time to time as he ran around. In a moment, he disappeared from Yang Shengzi's sight.

Yang Shengzi glanced briefly and then withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward, followed closely by the young girl Eiko.

What caught Yang Shengzi's eyes was a small green village.

This village blocked the westward journey of Yang Shengzi and his wife. This village was called Xinghua Village.

Next to Xinghua Village, there are green willows and flowers, the flowers in the garden are blooming and the fragrance is fragrant, and the mountains and forests outside are noisy with birds. It is a quiet place that is out of this world.

The name of Xinghua Village is also very particular. It comes from the fact that there is a noble lady in the village who is a golden bird raised by a wealthy family in the county.

It is said that this wealthy family in the county came from an official family, and his importance in Xijue Prefecture was equal to that of the Marquis of Xijue.

People in Zhuangzi called him Ximen Daguanren, but his real name is unknown. Ximen Daguanren especially liked to forage outside, secretly raising golden birds, and slowly eating them after they were fattened.

The officials from Ximen would stay here for a period of time every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. The purpose of staying here was of course to visit this golden bird.

At Xinghua Village, there was already a man and a woman waiting for Yang Shengzi. The man was Jing Ming, a young man with a wooden sword who drew his sword to block the road.

The woman is Jing Qingjia, the sister of the boy with a wooden sword. Her body and bones seem to be sick and she is very weak.

Jing Qingjia, the elder sister of the wooden sword boy, is also the maid of Xinghua Village.

"My maid, Qingjia, has seen the young master. She was just naughty to my younger brother. I will return the five taels of silver."

When Jing Qingjia, the maid of Xinghua Village, saw that Yang Shengzi and his wife were about to pass through this place, she hurriedly asked her younger brother Jing Ming, a young man with wooden swords, to return the money she had just gained from blocking the road.

Jing Ming, a boy with a wooden sword, seemed displeased, but he had no choice but to do anything after his sister spoke. He then held dozens of pieces of silver in his hands and muttered: "Give the silver back to your young master."

"It's okay. Since I gave it to you, there is no reason to take it back, so you can accept it with peace of mind." Yang Shengzi saw the Mujian boy's move to pay back the money, so he waved to Jing Qingjia, the Mujian boy's maid sister, saying that there was no need to pay back the money.

"My maid, Qingjia, would like to thank you for your generosity. Could you please stop here for a moment and drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst before setting off on your journey?"

Jing Qingjia, the maid of Xinghua Village, thought of repaying the young master for his generosity by inviting them to have a cup of tea at Xinghua Village so that they could quench their thirst before setting off on their journey.

Seeing that the two young men with wooden swords had been waiting for their reply, Yang Shengzi and his son agreed after a moment of silence. Then they took the young girl Yingzi and followed the two young men with wooden swords into Zhuangzi.

Since the elder sister of the boy Mujian is the maid of Xinghua Village, the place where the two live is not so glamorous. Now the maid Jing Qingjia brings Yang Shengzi and the two to a low tile-roofed house, but there is something

A sense of simplicity and tranquility.

Yang Shengzi and the two entered the room and sat down at random. The maid Jing Qingjia got up and went to find tea. After a while, the tea was brewed and brought over. Yang Shengzi and the girl Yingzi picked up the teacups and tasted them respectively.

stand up.

The girl Eiko was not polite at all. She picked up the tea and poured it down her throat. After finishing the cup, she started pouring herself another cup. The girl Eiko must have been really thirsty.

Seeing this, Yang Shengzi laughed and cursed, "You call it drinking tea, not tea drinking." This made the girl Yingzi look at him angrily, and stretched out his little fist to punch the Yang hero.

Yang Shengzi quickly made a gesture of surrender, and the young girl Yingzi muttered with her small mouth crooked before giving up.

This tea is called Xinghua Tea and is produced in Xinghuazhuang. It costs several taels of silver to buy in the market. It can be brewed with boiled water or boiled with Eucommia ulmoides water and brewed to maintain health.

Yang Shengzi put the tea cup in his hands and after just one sniff, the faint fragrance of apricot blossom lingered in his nose. He took another sip and felt refreshed.

Apricot flower tea not only refreshes the mind, quenches thirst and relieves heat, it can also help ordinary people get rid of wind and cold, strengthen muscles and relieve paralysis.

Therefore, even Xinghua Village enjoys a good reputation in this land with a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Where the hell did Jing Qingjia go? He doesn't have to work anymore?"

A noble lady and a group of maids were shouting outside the tile-roofed house. Then a maid next to the noble lady pushed open the door and ran rampant. When she saw the maid Jing Qingjia, she directly dragged her to the noble lady.

The noble lady is naturally the noble lady of the Apricot Blossom Manor. The lady's name is Xing Huiyun. She has a stunning face and charming body that makes her look like the apricot flowers in the manor, making people covet them but dare not pick them.

This type of woman needs to be raised and raised slowly. She is deeply loved by noble families and is a top-notch beauty when viewed from afar.

It is indeed the golden bird that the high official Ximen has taken a liking to and raised in the boudoir courtyard.

But the heart of the noble lady Xing Huiyun is not as warm and fragrant as the apricot blossom.

The noble lady Xing Huiyun looked at the maid Jing Qingjia in front of her, with an angry look on her face. The maid Jing Qingjia actually stole her limelight when the high official Ximen came last time, and even left a mark in front of the high official Ximen.

Made a good impression.

If I see her a few more times, wouldn't this veritable golden bird become a dead bird?

A maid dared to ride on her head and compete for beauty, and now she brought a strange man into the house to have tea as a companion, which was simply shameless.

However, the above-mentioned unfounded charges were all excuses given by the noble lady Xing Huiyun. The woman was very jealous, not to mention that she had lost all face by being here in front of the high-ranking Ximen officials. The noble lady even wanted to

Jing Qingjia has a broken heart.

The noble lady Xing Huiyun has seized the opportunity this time. The maid Jing Qingjia is passive and sabotaging her work. It is a serious crime to secretly support a man.

"You are a slut who keeps a man secretly. I haven't seen you for a long time. It turns out that you are raising a man here, so you are a maid Jing Qingjia!"

The noble lady Xing Huiyun was so angry that she slapped the maid Jing Qingjia hard on the face, leaving a bloody mark.

"Madam, I misunderstood. Because my maid was unwell and had no money for medical treatment, fortunately the young master who was on his way gave me some money. The maid wanted to let him take a rest and drink a glass of water before setting off on the road. Madam, please don't misunderstand me."

After the maid Jing Qingjia was slapped by the noble lady Xing Huiyun, she did not complain at all, but hurriedly explained.

"Strong words, let's put aside whether you secretly support a man or not. You have been passive and slow in working for a long time. Look at how busy the sisters around you are. They support you slaves every day without spending any money?"

The lady Xing Huiyun paused for a moment, then looked at a maid next to her and said calmly: "Being passive and sabotaging work while secretly raising a man, what is the family law of Xinghua Village?"

"Go back to Madam, according to the family law of Xinghua Village, she should be beaten to death and thrown into the wild. However, considering that her maid Jing Qingjia has worked hard in Xinghua Village for more than ten years and knows her mistake, she should be beaten half dead and hung in a well for ten days.

."

"Beat him half to death first." The lady Xing Huiyun crossed her legs, took a sip from the teacup in her hand, and then whispered.

The maid Jing Qingjia was suddenly pushed to the ground by several maids.

Several maids were holding beating boards and were about to start a fight. Unexpectedly, a young man with a wooden sword appeared in front of the maid Jing Qingjia. He held a wooden sword broken in two and held it in front of him. He shouted: "Who is it?"

If you dare to attack my sister, I will stab you to death with one sword!"

Several maids laughed, and then they worked together to hold Jing Ming, the young man with the wooden sword, and threw him hard outside. Jing Ming, the young man with the wooden sword, was thrown outside the door and hit the courtyard wall. Blood oozed from his scalp.

Several maids held bats and hit Jing Qingjia on the body. During this period, they glanced at the silent young man Yang Shengzi who was close at hand. As long as you dare to intervene in this matter, the guards in the manor will rush in immediately and kill this young man.

The young man was beaten to a semi-invalid condition.

Suddenly, the tea cup filled with apricot tea suddenly broke, and a young figure appeared in front of the noble lady Xing Huiyun. He stretched out his hand and slapped the noble lady Xing Huiyun away, causing blood to splash out.

It was young man Yang Shengzi who took action.

Yang Shengzi's figure appeared in front of the noble lady Xing Huiyun again, pinched her neck, lifted her up in the air, looked sharply at the dying lady in the air, and spoke calmly.

"If you don't let the second brother and sister of the Jing family go, madam, go down and bury them with them!"
