Chapter 118 The Owner of the Village

However, Qiu Tong changed his mind before he took Zhang Xiaohua very far.

Ou Yan had not told Qiu Tong before what kind of books he wanted to bring to Zhang Xiaohua, and it was very inappropriate to bring others in without the owner's consent.

So, Qiu Tong took Zhang Xiaohua outside the hall.

As soon as she approached the hall, Zhang Xiaohua heard two people talking inside. One had a very nice voice, like an oriole coming out of the valley, which made people listen to it for a long time without getting tired of it. The other one also spoke mellowly and spoke unhurriedly. , but still doesn’t have that gripping charm.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think that the owner of the village, Ou Yan, was the one who spoke nicely.

In fact, when she came to the inner courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua began to guess Ou Yan's appearance and voice. She had been coming to Huanxi Villa for several months, and Ou Yan treated her very well. She had never seen her before. This time, she Not only are you returning and borrowing books, but you also need to express your gratitude in person for taking care of yourself.

Qiu Tong asked Zhang Xiaohua to wait outside the house and went in to report.

Qiu Tong entered the hall, and the voices of the two people inside disappeared. Zhang Xiaohua heard Qiu Tong say inside: "Master, Zhang Xiaohua from the medicine field came over to return your books, and wants to borrow some more. You What books do you want to borrow from him?"

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua pricked up her ears, wondering which voice answered.

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the gentle voice sounded: "Hey~, you finished reading it so quickly? Could it be that this kid was just browsing blindly? Let him come in and let me ask, if you really finish reading it, will you understand it?" Yes, it’s never too late to borrow it.”

It turned out that that loud and pleasant voice was not Ou Yan's voice.

Qiu Tong came out and signaled Zhang Xiaohua to enter the room. When Zhang Xiaohua entered the room carefully, he saw clearly that there was a dignified and beautiful woman in her twenties sitting directly above the hall. Her temperament was as good as Liu Qian's. Generally speaking, the skin is fair and shiny. If it weren't for the fact that the current one has pink and phoenix eyes, and Liu Qian has almond eyes, Zhang Xiaohua would have blurted out "sister-in-law"; and on the side of the hall, there sat an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. A young woman with a very dark appearance. Although her clothes are gorgeous, they cannot hide her barrel-like waist.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that the sound that had been lingering for three days just now was made by this woman?

At this time, Ou Yan spoke and said, "Are you Zhang Xiaohua?"

Zhang Xiaohua quickly looked away, bowed deeply, and said: "Yes, Sister Zhuangzhu, I am Zhang Xiaohua."

Ou Yan was a little stunned and almost laughed out loud, saying: "Sister? Haha, no one has called me sister for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua, your little mouth is really sweet."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't think anything of it, and couldn't help but scratch her head and said, "Is there any problem? Sister Village Owner."

Ou Yan was not annoyed, she just asked: "Why did you remember to call me sister?"

Zhang Xiaohuaqi said: "The owner of the village is older, so I want to call her sister. What's more, the owner of the village looks very similar to my sister-in-law. I almost called her sister-in-law just now. By the way, my sister-in-law's name is Liu Qian. Before she married my eldest brother, I called her Sister Liu, so I feel that the owner of the village is very kind, so of course she should be called Sister."

The swarthy woman next to her spoke, and her clear voice sounded in Zhang Xiaohua's ears: "Haha, this little flower is really interesting. I haven't seen such a simple child in a long time."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at this woman and couldn't help but said: "Sister's voice is really nice."

Ou Yan smiled and said, "Just call her Sister Qin. If you call her a few more times, she will tell you more and let you listen more."

That woman turned out to be Aunt Qin from Ming Cuitang of the Piao Miao Sect.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua said to the woman honestly: "Hello, Sister Qin."

Aunt Qin couldn't help but was stunned, and said with a smile: "Everyone else calls me Aunt Qin, but you guys actually call me sister. It sounds very comfortable. If you need me for anything in the future, just ask."

Ou Yan even smiled and said: "Zhang Xiaohua,

Don't hesitate to thank Sister Qin, she doesn't speak easily. "

Zhang Xiaohua was confused and saluted, "Thank you, Sister Qin."

In fact, he disagreed in his heart. Pies in the sky would not fall for nothing. When he met someone for the first time, he would never help him just because of a title. He didn't know what Ou Yan meant. He was probably just joking.

Everyone laughed and said a few more words.

Ou Yancai asked Zhang Xiaohua: "Zhang Xiaohua, have you read these books? Do you understand them?"

Zhang Xiaohua said honestly: "I've seen it, sister village owner."

Ou Yan frowned a little this time and said, "Sister, the village owner, sounds quite awkward. You can call me Sister Ou or Sister Yan."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "I know, Sister Ou."

Ou Yan didn't quite believe Zhang Xiaohua's words, and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, the most taboo thing about reading is not asking for a thorough explanation, biting off more than you can chew. Last time I heard He Tianshu say that you have read a lot of books, and this time you have taken so much There are so many books. If you read them all so quickly, can you remember them and understand them?"

Zhang Xiaohua was a little anxious and said, "Really, Sister Ou, I understand everything. But just because I understood all these books, I realized that there are too many things I don't understand."

When Ou Yan heard what he said, her expression relaxed and she said, "That's it. Let me ask you a few questions."

After speaking, Ou Yan flipped through the books and picked some questions for Zhang Xiaohua to answer.

In Zhang Xiaohua's eyes, these questions were not questions at all. They were all written clearly in the book, so he answered them fluently without thinking.

Ou Yan was very happy to see that Zhang Xiaohua answered quickly, almost following his own words, and picked a few more questions that were not in these books for him to answer.

This time Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and gave an answer she thought was appropriate based on the knowledge she had read.

Ou Yan was even more happy after hearing this. After pointing out the inaccuracies in Zhang Xiaohua's answer, she said: "Zhang Xiaohua, I can't see it, but you are really proficient in these things. Very good. Just wait." Come on, I'll get you some more books, take a good look at them, and if there's anything you don't understand, come over and ask me."

After saying that, he apologized to Aunt Qin and led Qiu Tong out first with a smile on his face.

Aunt Qin and Zhang Xiaohua were the only two people left in the hall.

When Aunt Qin saw Zhang Xiaohua standing there with lowered eyebrows, she started talking with him and asked about Zhang Xiaohua's current situation. Zhang Xiaohua did not shy away from talking to this sister who spoke very nicely. She told her how she came to Pingyang City, how she came to Huanxi Villa, and how she was injured. Only the Fist of the North Star and the Sword Move The matter was not revealed. After hearing what happened to Zhang Xiaohua, Aunt Qin couldn't help but sigh. She even thought of her own childhood experience and couldn't help but feel closer to Zhang Xiaohua.

Just as he was talking, Ou Yan came back, and Qiu Tong behind him actually took a white cloth package, which looked very heavy. Zhang Xiaohua hurried over to pick it up, and it was heavy when he started, thinking that there were a lot of books inside.

Ou Yan sat on her seat and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, these are the books I selected based on your situation. You should read them carefully. Just now, I heard from Qiu Tong that you actually know how to combine theory with practice. It's really good. Keep walking along this avenue, as far as you can go, it will be good for you and our villa."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Okay, Sister Ou, I will study hard and practice well. I hope I can help Sister Ou solve the seed problem."

When it came to seeds, Ou Yan couldn't hide a trace of sadness on her brows and said, "Your expectations are good, but if I could find the reason just by reading these books, I would have found it from inside."

Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. This determination seemed to come at the wrong time, so she said: "As the ancients said, the Three Stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. If we all work together to find a solution, there may not be no hope."

Ou Yan smiled and said: "What you said makes sense, but many things cannot be solved by more people. They still need high-level talents to handle them."

Then, Ou Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, please read these books first. After a while, I will take you to see how real experts use herbal medicine."

After hearing these words, Qiu Tong's expression changed and said, "Miss, have you decided to go by yourself?"

Aunt Qin also said: "Yan'er, you have to think clearly. The journey is long and thousands of miles away. Can your body handle it?"

Ou Yan smiled and said: "Sister Qin, don't worry about me. Although the journey is a bit far, didn't Qiu Tong also go there last time? My body is not any weaker than Qiu Tong, why can't I go?"

Qiutong begged: "Miss, it's better for me to go there again. You shoulder the fate of the villa, so it's better to stay in the villa and take charge of the overall situation. Let us do these running jobs."

Ou Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Seeing that a year has passed, there is still no movement on these seeds. This is a big problem related to the improvement of the strength of the Piao Miao Sect. I made a guarantee in front of my elder brother that day. If I can't solve it, how can I Didn’t you become a sinner in the sect?”

Aunt Qin also advised: "These seeds have been lost for a long time, and the specific planting methods may have been lost a long time ago. Although you guaranteed it in front of the gang leader that day, most of them were not planted. Why do you care about this?"

Ou Yan even smiled bitterly and said: "This is the most important thing. The last time Qiu Tong went there, people stayed behind closed doors. They must have thought that we didn't pay enough attention. If I don't go, this way will be ruined." Wouldn’t it also be cut off?”

Aunt Qin and Qiu Tong saw that they could not dissuade Ou Yan, so they stopped talking. Only Zhang Xiaohua listened to what these three people said, as if listening to a book from heaven, and did not know what they were talking about. It seemed that it was the time when she was injured, Qiu Tong Didn't it mean that she went to the south and didn't come to see him? From what I heard, I went to ask someone to solve the seed problem, but they felt that Qiu Tong's identity was not right, so he stayed behind closed doors, and Qiu Tong came back empty-handed. Now Ou Yan wants to go in person. Well, according to Ou Yan's wishes, he also needs to take himself there. The other two people think that Ou Yan has a distinguished status and are afraid of accidents, so they should stop it.

Zhang Xiaohua figured it out and saw that the three of them were a little uninterested. She quickly thanked Ou Yan for borrowing the book and was about to leave. Ou Yan smiled and encouraged him a few more times before letting Qiu Tong take him down.

Qiu Tong was not in a good mood. He led Zhang Xiaohua to Qiu Ju's yard with a stern face and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, if you want to find me or the owner next time, don't rush in rashly. Although you are old, Small, but you still have to abide by the rules of the villa, wait here until you see Qiu Ju or others, and let them go in to find me, okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "I understand, sister Qiutong, don't be unhappy, I believe there must be a solution."

Qiu Tong forced a smile and said: "I know, Xiaohua, you should work hard, I hope you can help."

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua walking away with a bag of books, Qiu Tong turned around and walked away quickly.

Zhang Xiaohua walked back with a large bag of books in her left hand. Thanks to the strength of Zhang Xiaohua's 500 kilograms in one arm, it seemed that the weight was light. If it had been anyone else, it would have been really difficult. I don't know how Qiu Tong just moved from The study room is accessible from the living room.

When Zhang Xiaohua returned to the house, she threw the package on the kang, drank some water, and when she opened it and looked at it, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "My dear boy, there are quite a lot of them. I roughly count there are dozens of them." So many, no wonder it’s so heavy.”

However, Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed immediately. With so many books, she had something to rely on during the long night.

In the evening, when Zhang Xiaohua finished her martial arts practice and opened a book, she suddenly found that it was somewhat different from the previous books. First of all, the previous books were more basic, but now these books are obviously more profound. It is suitable for Zhang Xiaohua's current level. If you look at it casually, it will scratch Zhang Xiaohua's itch and make him reluctant to let go. Secondly, the blank spaces on every page of the previous books were as clean as ever, but now these books are as clean as ever. In books, there are more or less small characters written in the margins of each page. Where there are few places, there are a few words, but where there are many places, there are densely written words all over the page. Zhang Xiaohua squinted and looked carefully. At that time, I realized that these words were written about my feelings while reading this page. This was the first time Zhang Xiaohua encountered this way of reading. Her eyes lit up and she read carefully.

The more Zhang Xiaohua read, the more frightened she became, and the more she admired the writer. The annotations in these blank spaces not only wrote down the key points of this page, but even cited scriptures and made many connections, which is enough to explain to the readers. With profound knowledge, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of something, put down the book in her hand, picked up another book from the kang, opened it, and sure enough, there were dense annotations in that book, and then Zhang Xiaohua randomly picked up a few more books, and they were all like this.

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that such beautiful handwriting belongs to none other than the owner of the village, Ou Yan. Looking at such a large pile of books, Zhang Xiaohua was impressed from the bottom of her heart that she could actually read them in such detail.

Another point is that she is full of gratitude. This village owner sister really regards herself as an outsider. She even borrows the books she usually reads from her. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua really treats Sister Ou as an outsider. Put it on the same level as my sister-in-law.

With enough books to read, Zhang Xiaohua's life has become richer. She works in the medicine field, practices martial arts in the woods, reads under the lamp, and is not lonely at all.

However, in her spare time, Zhang Xiaohua is also looking forward to traveling far away!

Sister Qiutong went on a trip for a few months last time. It was said to be in the south. She really wanted to go out and see it. Pingyang City, the farthest place she had ever come to in her life, was only a few days away. From the book, the climate in the south was , living habits and other aspects are very different from Pingyang City, and many medicinal materials are also different from Pingyang City. If you can see it in person, it is certainly better than just reading books.

Scholars often say, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Zhang Xiaohua actually has this kind of pursuit now. The scroll is really a good thing to cultivate people.

However, the long journey did not come soon because of Zhang Xiaohua's missing. Several days passed without any news from anyone. Gradually, Zhang Xiaohua no longer missed her.

On this day, Zhang Xiaohua was working in the fields as usual, and she saw He Tianshu coming with a few people. The two of them were old men with white beards and hair, and behind them were a few slightly younger people. Some looked polite, while others looked conceited. They are powerful, but their attitude is the same as that of He Tianshu, they are respectful to those two people.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed, she had never seen Captain He behave like this before. These two must be the senior officials of the Pharmacy Hall. Zuo Zuo himself was not from the Miao Miao Sect, and there was no need to pose for him respectfully. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua He lowered his body, carefully moved the soil, hoeed the grass, and carefully looked at each herb and observed their condition.

Unfortunately, it didn't work as expected. He Tianshu saw him from a distance and had no intention of letting him go. He was leading the group of people towards this side. When they got closer, He Tianshu called out: "Zhang Xiaohua, come here."

Zhang Xiaohua looked up helplessly, picked up a small hoe, and walked over.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua approaching, He Tianshu said to him: "Zhang Xiaohua, come and meet Hall Master Bai and Elder He of our pharmacy hall."

Zhang Xiaohua quickly bowed deeply and said, "I have met Hall Master Bai, Elder He."

He Tianshu smiled and said to the purple-faced old man: "Hallmaster Bai, this is the Zhang Xiaohua I mentioned to you. He is very practical and capable, and extremely smart. He has read a lot of books about medicinal herbs. "

The two people did not return the salute, but Hall Master Bai waved his hand slightly, while Elder He nodded unequivocally and did not speak.

And He Tianshu still said a little uninterestedly: "Hall Master Bai, you see, Zhang Xiaohua is very eager to learn. There are many books in our hall. Do you think you can lend him one or two to open his eyes? After all, it is also It is always good for those who work in the medicine fields to learn more."

Before Hall Master Bai could speak, a middle-aged man next to him spoke up and said, "He Tianshu, I think you have stayed in Huanxi Villa for a long time and have long forgotten the rules of our Miao Miao Sect. How can the book collection be developed for outsiders?”

He Tianshu smiled bitterly and said: "I know this rule, Senior Brother Chang, but isn't this little flower a member of Huanxi Villa, so he can't be seen as an outsider."
