Early orioles compete for trees, and the morning light is dim.

Yang Chaoxi wrapped in a mattress with a soft quilt and slowly opened his eyes. In the chaos, he couldn't remember where he was.

The faint sound of chanting scriptures penetrates through the window and hovering in the room, making people calm and peaceful, and their minds clear. However, it is the "Heart Sutra of Prajna" that my mother often recites:

"...The five aggregates are empty, and all sufferings are overcome... The form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is form... neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing... There is no suffering, accumulation, extinction, and no wisdom, and no attainment... Because of the Prajna Paramita, the mind has no worries. Because there is no worries, there is no fear..."

Suddenly he thought of something, and he looked sideways, but he saw that Zhang Daoyou, who was both civil and military, had already stood up and left at some point.

The dream of a big poem or not last night suddenly appeared in my mind. I felt that this strange Zhang Daoyou was full of melancholy and bitterness under the appearance of cynical appearance. These annoying emotions were hidden in my heart. After a long period of depression, no martial arts could solve it.

While he was thinking about it, a careful knock on the door covered the chanting of scriptures. Then a woman's inquiry sounded slowly outside the door, slightly immature and tender: "Young Master Yang? Young Master Yang? Have you gotten up?"

Yang Chaoxi heard the sound a little familiar, so he replied: "The door is not bolted, please come in!"

The wooden door opened with a creaking sound. A slightly short and thin girl led Chaoyang in and smiled like a flower and said, "Mom asked Qiao Niang to make some water and bring it to you. The morning vegetarian food is ready! After you wash, you can go to the main house to eat..."

Yang Chaoxi saw that she was carrying a small wooden barrel with some effort, swaying in one step, and then walked to the window, filling the wooden basin with clear water. Then she straightened her waist, waved her sleeves and wiped away the sweat from her forehead. Every frown and smile, her words and deeds looked seventy-seven like Su Mian.

Immediately, I stood up and fisted and said, "Thank you little bye to the girl! I think the girl's mother is Aunt Su, right? I wonder what the girl calls her?"

The girl smiled even more strongly, her eyes flashed, and she shook her head and said, "My name is Qiao Niang! I heard from my mother that you are still a little Taoist priest. I must have learned many magical techniques from the old gods in the mountains, right? Then, can you turn these stones into gold?"

As Qiao Niang spoke, she spread her small, as white as jade, revealing a few stones the size of her fingertips. Her clear peach blossom eyes were full of humor and naughty.

Yang Chaoxi thought about it, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "This is easy! But Qiao Niang must first tell Xiaodao where did the hero Zhang who lived with me last night go this morning? Why don't you say goodbye? If Xiaodao is distracted from this, then this technique of "turning stones into gold" will not be used!"

Qiao Niang frowned slightly, and her cherry lips bent, and she said unhappily: "Hmph! Little weapon ghost! But if you want to change a trick, you will ask for a price everywhere. It turns out that the little Taoist priest is also like a slick head and brain, making mysterious and false!"

Yang Chaoxi looked at her angry look, as if she saw Guan Liner a few years ago, and felt ache in her heart, and immediately said with a smile: "Ha! Qiao Niang is wrongly blamed Xiaodao. So, Xiaodao will turn you into gold first. If it becomes better, then tell me where the hero Zhang is going, how about?"

Qiao Niang clapped her hands and smiled, "Miusual, wonderful!"

Yang Chaoxi secretly used the internal breathing method of "Catching Wind and Shadow Hand". With his left hand, he only gently pressed his back on Qiao Niang's hand, and all the small stones jumped up. Then Yang Chaoxi flipped up his left hand, snatched it and put the small stones into his palm.

Qiao Niang saw it interestingly and couldn't help but giggle: "Young Master Yang is so handsome! If you are willing to learn from the needle and the girl, I'm afraid that ten embroidery girls will not be as good as you!" Yang Chaoxiqian smiled softly, but did not speak. His right hand was raised and he held it in the same place as a scallop. Then he pretended to be like a casino dice cup, shaking it up and down and left and right, and he even muttered something strange and strange spell.

Qiao Niang listened to the "bang-bang" sound between his palms, her peach blossom eyes were already fascinated by crescent moons. Suddenly, Yang Chaoxi stopped his hands and reached in front of her, pretending to be mysterious: "You still need Qiao Niang to blow another fairy air, and this technique will be considered complete!"

Qiao Niang became more and more interested. She immediately leaned over her mouth and blew on his closed hands. Yang Chaoxi slowly opened her hand, and saw that the little stones that had been before disappeared, and a few dazzling golden beans appeared in the palm of their palms!

Qiao Niang's peach blossom eyes were so wide that many little stars were shining among them, as bright as the stars: "Young Master Yang is so amazing! These golden beans are all Qiao Niang's! Hehe!"

After saying that, she was afraid that Yang Chaoxi would repent, so she snatched the golden beans in his hand and ran out of the house. She ran and laughed, "Mom! Mom! Look, Qiao Niang has turned the stone into a golden bean! Huh..."

Yang Chaoxi was still asking Zhang Daoyou wherever he was left, but the little girl was thrown into the room and had to shake her head and laugh. Then she washed up carefully with the poured basin.

After washing up, as soon as I stepped out of the threshold, I saw Su Mian standing at the door, with a dejected little girl Qiao Niang standing beside her.

Su Mian turned her face and scolded Qiao Niang: "The little girl who is obsessed with money, why don't you return the golden beans to Young Master Yang?! I'll give Yang a gift. If you dare to do this, I'll ask you to have a good meal of 'bamboo shoots and meat'!"

Qiao Niang's mouth sagged and she was about to cry. She bowed pitifully and said: "Young Master Yang, don't blame me... Qiao Niang knows that she is wrong! Qiao Niang shouldn't be greedy for your golden beans... oh!"

Yang Chaoxi hurriedly helped Qiao Niang up and smiled at Su Mian: "Aunt Su, don't blame Qiao Niang for wrongly! It was just Xiaodao who joked with Qiao Niang just now. How could he be really angry? Besides, I was waiting for Aunt Duo last night, and I was quite disturbed. I could express my gratitude if I had some money!"

Su Mian's expression was a little slow, but she still picked out the golden beans held by Qiao Niang's palm and stuffed them back into Yang Chaoxi's hand. Then she turned her head and said earnestly: "Qiao'er, Young Master Yang is just a trick to make you happy. Where can I do such a magical art like "turning stones into gold" in the world? Remember that everything in the world has causes and effects. It is better to worry less about the Hu cake falling from the sky in the future!"

Qiao Niang nodded in a bad mood, bowed to Su Mian, and turned around to go to work hard.

Yang Chaoxi looked at the rosewood rosary in Su Mian's hand and suddenly realized: It turned out that the person who recited the "Heart Sutra of Prajna" before was Aunt Su in front of him.

Immediately bowed and apologized to Su Mian: "Xiaodao was naughty for a while, but he called Qiao Niang wronged. I hope my aunt would forgive me!" Seeing that Su Mian didn't take it to heart, he continued to ask, "But I don't know when Zhang San Zhang had left and where did he go? He didn't even leave a note."

Su Mian said strangely: "Zhang Daxia Tian Gangming came to say goodbye to me and said he wanted to go to an old garden. Haven't you mentioned it to you? He also said that his oil mill would open in Nanshi soon. If you want to find him, you can go to Nanshi."

"Old Garden..."

After Yang Chaoxi pondered slightly, he slapped his forehead and said to himself, "Haha! I remember the little path! Last night, Zhang Daxia talked about a lot of strange articles, and he mentioned the "old garden" several times, and said that it was written for an old friend... The little path even forgot this, and he was really confused!"

Su Mianyi smiled and said, "Maybe it was because you were too tired last night. The four next door didn't wake up until now! Xier, go to the main house to eat something first. Aunt woke these sleepy insects up and came..."

The shadow of the sun is getting higher and the shadow of the tree is swaying.

The sieved light spots were printed in front of the house and they would occasionally turn into blurred markings.

Half an hour later, Yang Chaoxi and the "Four Friends of Guilty" had already eaten early vegetarian food in the Zhengwu Hall. They started talking about the thrilling moments last night.

Since it was not yet afternoon and the sound of the opening of the market had not yet sounded, Su Mian, the shopkeeper of the "Chaoyuan Busi", sat a rare idle place. While cooking tea soup, Zheng Liulang and Du Shazhou were competing to brag about Su Juanjuan, but she smiled but said nothing.

Yang Chaoxi and Carpenter Liu lazily leaned on the chair, talking about the gains and losses of the last night. Suddenly, a guy with a beard came in from the front hall of the shop and went straight into the main room. He said a few words to Su Jin before clasping his fists to everyone and retreating decisively.

Yang Chaoxi asked softly: "Brother Liu, although this guy has a fast pace, his breath is extremely stable. He thinks he is a good trainer. Why is he willing to be an ordinary guy in this cloth store?"

Carpenter Liu smiled indifferently: "Of course, the shopkeeper Su is good at governing the country. Although among the three sisters of the Su family, only the eldest sister Su Mian has never practiced martial arts, in terms of vision and skills, only this shopkeeper Su is the most powerful and can be called the leader of "using wisdom but not using force"! The guy just now is said to be a bandit leader who was surrendered by the way when the shopkeeper Su went to Bashu to sell cloth more than ten years ago..."

When Yang Chaoxi heard this strange thing, his eyes lit up and he immediately moved closer, for fear that he would miss a few words.

At this moment, Su Mian picked up the charcoal and tapped the tea case a few times. After the few people were solo, Caici and smiled: "As soon as the door of the shop opened this morning, I sent a few gangsters out to watch, and I finally got the message. The city was always going as usual, and there was no sea captain's notice, nor did the good guards patrol everywhere to arrest the murderers. It seemed that Yuan Zai was most likely trying to calm down the matter last night."

After hearing this, Su Juanjuan raised her chin and said proudly: "Big sister, Juan'er told you last night! The dog official Yuan Zai not only stole chickens but also exposed the secret of Rushui Sword to us, but also hit him with the scandal of his two sons having an affair with his favorite concubine, and the ironclad evidence of his indiscriminate killing of carpenters. Yuan Zai was very worried at this time. After all, any of these three things were enough to spread out to him! Hih!"

Zheng Liulang immediately echoed, "Hehe! The silk girl is right. Let's go back to each place to eat and drink delicious food. If Yuan Zai still comes, he will definitely make the Yuan Mansion uneasy!"

Du Shazhou also smiled and said, "Even if it is like this! If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend others. If someone offends me... the hunch will not let him have a good time. Hoho!"

Carpenter Liu coughed twice, but his words became more pertinent: "Yuan Zai has always been accustomed to being domineering. He can settle the unfamiliar things in his house by wavering his hand, but he may not take them to heart. Only the sword like water is involved, so he is afraid of being afraid of us and is unwilling to break up with us easily."

Su Mian gave Su Juanwen a white look and continued to smile: "In my opinion, you guys should be careful! Especially Carpenter Liu, don't rush back to Beijing City, beware of being caught by someone 'waiting for rabbit'. I have asked Qiao Niang to prepare a few sets of outfits, and you can change them before leaving the shop. Remember to go out separately, so as not to be taken away by the tycoons of the Yuan Mansion."

Yang Chaoxi agreed: "Aunt Su is still considerate. We acted last night and were disguised. Today, we took off our masks and changed our robes. I was afraid that Yuan Zai might not recognize us even if he had a meeting!"
