Chapter 175 Martial Arts (10)
Zhang Xiaohu saw Zhang Xiaohua's unhappy face and said to the guard, "Then I can go in."
The guard said: "Of course you can go in."
Zhang Xiaohu said to Zhang Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, please wait here for a while, I will go in to find Captain He."
Zhang Xiaohua said: "Forget it, second brother, if you don't let me in, I won't go in. Anyway, the martial arts competition will end tomorrow, and you can still see it when you return to Huanxi Villa. I just wanted to take a look at the pharmacy today. It’s just their living environment, since they’re not allowed in, just go back.”
Zhang Xiaohu knew that his younger brother wanted to go in, and his eyes were full of disappointment. In fact, Zhang Xiaohua still had a young mind, and there was nothing interesting about the pharmacy. He just came all the way here, but was turned away. His curiosity became more and more strong.
To advance or not, this is not a problem, but Zhang Xiaohu doesn't want to go against his brother's wishes. After all, he is also a disciple of the Miao Miao Sect. In his own territory, he still wants Zhang Xiaohua to get his wish.
He smiled and patted Zhang Xiaohua on the shoulder and said, "I'll go in and look for Captain He. You wait for a moment by the door."
Zhang Xiaohua opened her mouth and wanted to stop her second brother, but Zhang Xiaohu didn't say any more. He turned around and asked the guard He Tianshu where he lived, so Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to scratch his head and stand aside obediently.
The guard briefly explained the general direction. Zhang Xiaohu turned back and nodded to Zhang Xiaohua before entering the gate.
Zhang Xiaohu went in for a while but didn't come out. Zhang Xiaohua wandered around the door of the pharmacy a little bored. It was already dark at this time, and there were fewer people coming in and out of the pharmacy hall.
Zhang Xiaohua was walking when she happened to see a middle-aged man who had come all the way back from the outside and was walking towards the door of the pharmacy hall. From a distance, relying on the light, Zhang Xiaohua saw that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it. He didn't care either. He knew a few people in the Piaomiao Sect. Maybe he had misjudged them.
And that person also noticed Zhang Xiaohua. Think about it, there was just a young man walking around in front of the empty door. It was impossible not to pay attention.
The man glanced at Zhang Xiaohua at first and didn't care. He continued to move forward, but after taking a few steps, he seemed to remember something. He looked at Zhang Xiaohua again, said "Huh" in his mouth, and frowned slightly. At this time, Zhang Xiaohua didn't notice this and had already turned around and walked in the other direction. The man saw that Zhang Xiaohua didn't come up to greet him, and he was slightly annoyed. When he walked to the gate, he scolded the guard with a straight face. : "What do you do? Why do you let people wander around in front of your door?"
"Everyone is waiting?" The guard was a little surprised. He quickly looked around and saw only a lonely figure wandering outside.
The guard smiled apologetically and said: "Deacon Chang, that young man is not a disciple of our Miao Miao Sect, but he is not considered an outsider. He is a member of Huanxi Villa, and he is not some idle person."
If you don't listen to this, it's fine. When he heard this, Deacon Chang became even more angry and yelled: "What? Who told you that the people in Huanxi Villa are not outsiders? Could it be that the people in Huanxi Villa are the Miaomiao sect?" Disciple?"
The guard was very surprised. He didn't know what he said was wrong. According to the instructions he received, the waistband of Huanxi Villa can enter Piaomiao Villa, but not the pharmacy hall. Besides, it doesn't matter if a young man wanders around in front of your pharmacy hall. Already? Could it be that there is a ** attempt?
Even if there is an attempt to commit suicide, haven't they not done it yet? Why are you driving people away?
However, the guard still said cautiously: "Deacon Chang, I don't care whether the people in Huanxi Villa are from the Piaomiao sect or not. My duty is to guard this door. Anyone who does not meet the regulations will not be allowed to enter. As for Whether there are people hanging out outside the door or fighting, it has nothing to do with me."
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua also strolled to the door again. Seeing the middle-aged man arguing with the guard, he was very curious and approached him.
Deacon Chang was hit with a problem and was very angry. He even said loudly: "What? How dare you talk to me like that! You,
you……"
The guard also became angry, took a step closer and said, "What's wrong with me? Deacon Chang."
Hearing the words "Deacon Chang", Zhang Xiaohua's mind lit up and she immediately thought, wasn't this middle-aged man one of the people who visited Huanxi Villa to inspect the medicinal fields last year?
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel happy. She walked up to him with a smile on her face and said, "Uncle Chang, thank you. Do you still remember me?"
Deacon Chang had nowhere to vent his anger. Although the guard was just a janitor, he was not under the management of the pharmacy after all. Even if he had a higher position than him, he did not have the power to give orders. Now he was disgraced by the guard. He had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach. By chance, Zhang Xiaohua came up and hit the muzzle of the gun. Deacon Chang glared at Zhang Xiaohua fiercely, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm with a "poof" sound. Said: "Who is your uncle? Why don't you take a good look in the mirror, do you have the qualifications to be my nephew? Why don't you stop looking at the fields in the dirt of Huanxi Villa and come to our Miao Miao Sect?" Don’t you want to see if this is where you came from?”
After saying that, he rolled his sleeves and turned around and went in.
Seeing this, the guard shouted loudly: "Deacon Chang, why are you so unethical? Leader Ou Da has not always advocated clean and hygienic slogans, how can you still spit everywhere? Be careful, I will fine you money!"
Deacon Chang walked away, paused slightly, and walked straight away without stopping.
In front of the gate, only Zhang Xiaohua was left standing there alone, tears lingering in his eyes, almost flowing down. He really didn't know how he offended this so-called uncle. He was just in Huanxi Villa. I met him once, this was only the second time, and I just came to see him as a gift. How could I treat myself like this? Is this what the legend says: a hot face with a cool butt?
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's appearance, the guard didn't know how to comfort him. Deacon Chang was also weird today. He was not like this on weekdays. Why did he dislike this young man so much? But the dispute he had with Deacon Chang today was also caused by him. After seeing it, there must be some secrets that he didn't know about.
Let’s not talk about Zhang Xiaohua being bullied. Let’s talk about Zhang Xiaohu’s previous entrance to the Pharmacy Hall. The door of the Pharmacy Hall is not like the Young Eagle Hall. There is a large square after entering the door. Instead, it is a screen wall carved with a large number of flowers, birds, insects and fish. , turning around the screen wall is also a quite large place. There are many ancient trees in this place that cannot be hugged by one person. In the dark night, the wind blows and the leaves rustle. There are large gaps between the ancient trees and there is a smooth road. After passing, Zhang Xiaohu followed the guard's instructions and walked inside.
After walking for a while, it became even quieter inside. In the dark night, he could vaguely see the shadow of the mountain. Zhang Xiaohu suddenly realized that no wonder he had walked such a long way. The medicine hall was actually located against the mountain behind the villa. At this time, there happened to be someone in front of him. Coming over, Zhang Xiaohu confirmed He Tianshu's location again.
When the man heard that he was looking for He Tianshu, he smiled and said: "It's inappropriate to go to his room to look for him at this time. He passed the competition today and is over there in the practice room."
After Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he quickly asked about the location of the practice room. The man thought for a while and said, "The practice room is still some distance away from here. Our pharmacy is built on the mountain and the path is not easy to find. I'd better take you there." .”
Zhang Xiaohu listened and thanked him repeatedly.
As expected, the practice room is not close to here. It takes a lot of walking and twists and turns. Moreover, the key point is that the pharmacy hall built on the mountain is not a flat, straight road. If Zhang Xiaohu walked it by himself, It’s really hard to find.
Along the way, the two chatted casually, and Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but curiously asked: "It's so late, why is He Tianshu still in the practice room?"
The man smiled and said: "It was all caused by the martial arts competition. He Tianshu has not advanced for several years, and he did not do well in the pharmacy hall. He was sent to Huanxi Villa to take care of the medicine field. Who You know, where did he learn the Piao Miao Step? This time he actually passed two levels in a row. In the morning, he actually knocked Chang Biao off the ring. That Chang Biao joined the Piao Miao Sect with He Tianshu. The two of them kept Despite all the overt and covert competition, He Tianshu never had the slightest upper hand. Chang Biao was already a deacon, and He Tianshu was just a captain. No, He Tianshu won the competition today, and many were not convinced. My senior fellow apprentices dragged him to the practice room and wanted to have a good spar with him."
"Piaomiao Step?" Zhang Xiaohu's heart moved. Could it be that the extremely easy movement technique Zhang Xiaohua used during the day was Piaomiao Step? This must be the case. My younger brother spends all day with He Tianshu, so He Tianshu probably taught him this.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the practice room, the usually silent practice room was still bustling with people, and He Tianshu's somewhat arrogant and hearty laughter could be heard inside.
It seems that this guy won a lot of games today.
The two came in and saw many people standing in the open space of the practice room. There were two people in the venue, and the winner had already been determined. One was He Tianshu, and the other was a slightly younger man. The man was getting up from the ground. , laughing and scolding, said: "Lao He, you asked your men to show some mercy, why did you still kick me down?"
He Tianshu said with a smile: "Pull him down, I am not a newbie and can't control my body shape. Besides, you often knock me to the ground on weekdays. Today I just wanted to take revenge." .”
The man "tsk tsk" in his mouth and praised: "This misty step is indeed magical. You were really no match for me earlier, but now I am no longer your match. I will treat you with admiration after three days of separation." This is exactly how to describe you Yes."
He Tianshu cupped his hands and said, "It's just average. I'm just a beginner, so I'm far behind other people's direct disciples."
Just as he was talking, he saw Zhang Xiaohu coming in with the man. He Tianshu couldn't help being stunned, and quickly walked out of the venue, asking in surprise: "Zhang Xiaohu, are you here to see me?"
Zhang Xiaohu saluted and said, "Exactly, Captain He, I'll take Xiaohua and come over to see you."
"Zhang Xiaohua? Where is he?" He Tianshu looked behind him.
Zhang Xiaohu said: "No need to look for him, he can't come in. He is still waiting for you at the gate."
He Tianshu suddenly realized, patted his forehead, turned around and said: "Brothers, I have a friend here. Let's stop here today. We will discuss it again when we have time."
After everyone heard this, they all dispersed.
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said to He Tianshu: "Captain He is so proud."
He Tianshu said sarcastically: "It's nothing, it's just that they saw me beating Senior Brother Chang this morning and found it strange, so they had to drag me to compete. I couldn't help it."
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Let's go out quickly. Xiaohua must be waiting impatiently at the door."
After hearing this, He Tianshu quickly followed him out. When he reached the corner, he suddenly stopped and said, "I'm just going to see Zhang Xiaohua once, and he can't come in. Come on, why don't you come with me again?" Hall Master, please give me a badge and let Zhang Xiaohua come in and take a look at our pharmacy hall."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu hesitated and said, "Isn't it too long? Xiaohua has been waiting outside for a long time."
He Tianshu pulled his sleeve and said: "Let's go, your brother, I don't know yet, he just wants to come to the pharmacy and know how we grow herbs, otherwise he would never think of Baba coming to see Me? Besides, the martial arts competition is only for a few days, why don’t you go back to Huanxi Villa to see me?"
Zhang Xiaohu chuckled and didn't answer, following He Tianshu in the other direction.
After walking for a while, they came to a rather large courtyard. There were disciples guarding the door. He Tianshu stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Is the hall master in there?"
The disciple quickly saluted and said, "Master He, the hall master is here, as well as the elders. By the way, Master Chang has just entered."
As he spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He Tianshu slapped him on the head and said, "You kid, what's so funny? Don't say anything fancy behind me."
The disciple touched his head and said, "Uncle He, I didn't say anything. You said no? Anyway, you had a great time winning this morning, and we are all happy for you."
He Tianshu said in his mouth: "You guys are afraid of the world being in chaos." Although his tone was a little angry, his face was a little happy.
After saying that, he led Zhang Xiaohu into the courtyard.
Before He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohu entered the hall, they heard the voice of Deacon Chang in the hall: "Master, do you think what I said is right? What is that little flower? It's just a servant of Huanxi Villa. That's all, he got into our Miao Miao sect just by relying on his reputation in Huanxi Villa, and he's still wandering around the door of our pharmacy. What is he doing? He doesn't go anywhere else, but he comes to our pharmacy? Is this a deposit? What other thoughts are there? Our pharmacy hall is a powerful place in the gang. If he steals something, we won’t be able to explain it to our superiors. I saw him sneaking around the door, so I wanted the guards to drive him away. , but the guard actually spoke for him, don't you think this is a typical internal and external collusion? Hall Master, you have to be careful and replace that guard quickly."
After Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he was angry in his heart. Who is the person named Chang in this hall? He actually arranged his younger brother in this way. He couldn't help but walk a little faster. When He Tianshu saw this, he quickly pulled his sleeves and whispered. Said: "Don't worry, listen to me."
Zhang Xiaohu looked at He Tianshu, who was also angry, and had no choice but to nod.
He Tianshu led Zhang Xiaohu to the door of the hall, and did not rush in. Instead, he stood there quietly.
Hall Master Bai of the Pharmacy Hall was sitting on a chair in the middle of the hall, sipping tea slowly. Next to him was Elder He, who had all white hair and beard. Deacon Chang was standing in the middle of the hall, gesticulating and talking.
I heard Deacon Chang say again: "This little flower has been with He Tianshu in Huanxi Villa. He doesn't know what he is doing. Even the seeds of the medicinal herbs will not germinate. The same goes for He Tianshu. He seems to be protecting this little guy. Even though I want him to read the collection of books in the Pharmacy Hall, I don’t even think about it, but a young boy actually wants to enter the Pharmacy Hall through a side door without looking at his own moral character?"
While he was talking, Hall Master Bai raised his eyes and saw He Tianshu, put down the tea cup, and said with a smile: "He Tianshu, why are you here free? Aren't you being surrounded by those boys to compete?"
After hearing this, Deacon Chang quickly stopped talking. When he looked back, he saw He Tianshu and Zhang Xiaohu staring at him fiercely. He couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable and murmured: "He Tianshu, I'm not saying this. You are just talking about the boy from Huanxi Villa."
He Tianshu ignored him and first stepped forward to salute Hall Master Bai and Elder He. Zhang Xiaohu, who was behind him, also quickly stepped forward and said, "Junior Zhang Xiaohu, salute Hall Master Bai and Elder He."
In fact, Zhang Xiaohu didn't know how to address the two people in the hall, so he had to call them juniors.
Hall Master Bai had already met Zhang Xiaohu in the meeting hall when he became a disciple of the Piaomiao Sect, and knew that he was Wen Wenhai's disciple. Elder He also met Zhang Xiaohu at the apprenticeship ceremony that was held later and knew Zhang Xiaohu's identity. , so he didn’t dare to be negligent, he bowed slightly in return and asked Zhang Xiaohu to sit on the chair below.
Hearing Zhang Xiaohu's name, Deacon Chang's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Is it possible that this Zhang Xiaohu has something to do with Zhang Xiaohua?"
However, he immediately thought: "This Pharmacy Hall is not accessible to non-pharmacy hall disciples and core disciples. This person is not from the Pharmacy Hall, so naturally he is a core disciple. Since he is a core disciple, he will not be like the Huanxi Villa." What's the matter with the boy?"
Immediately I felt relieved.
He Tianshu stood next to Chang Biao and ignored him. He just said to Hall Master Bai: "Hall Master, a friend of mine wants to come to the pharmacy hall to visit. This person you have also met is Zhang Xiaohua from Huanxi Villa. Do you think you can give him a waist card and let him in?"
When Chang Biao heard this, he immediately objected and said: "Junior Brother He, this little flower is a servant of Huanxi Villa. Although I am very close to you in the Villa, our pharmacy hall is an important place in the sect. How can you do it casually?" Let him in? If something happens, can you bear it? "
He Tianshu looked at him with a smile and said: "Senior Brother Chang, let's not talk about Zhang Xiaohua's identity or whether he is a servant of Huanxi Villa. I just want to ask, why do you say that he has ulterior motives and wants to come to the pharmacy? Do you make a living by sneaking around?"
