Sword of Coming

Although Chen Ping'an looked thin, when he carried those locust branches on his shoulders, he walked easily down the Mud Bottle Alley without any reluctance, leaving the little girl in the red cotton coat behind stunned. If she hadn't insisted before , Chen Pingan also wanted to take away the locust branch on her slender shoulders.

Standing at the entrance of Mupin Alley was a little girl with braids. She probably had frostbite on her cheeks in the winter. Her cheeks were very eye-catching. After seeing the girl in a red cotton-padded jacket strutting around carrying a locust tree branch, she said in a depressed tone: "Li Bao Ping, didn't you agree to leave the locust tree and go to school with me? Don't you know that Grandpa Ma is acting weird today, dressed like Mr. Qi, and said he would take us on a study tour? Go to the Cliff Academy, and if Grandpa Ma gets angry at us, it will be your fault."

The girl in the red cotton jacket didn't listen at all. She picked up a green locust leaf given to her by Chen Ping'an from the embroidered bag on her waist, and twirled it in front of her peers, feeling proud.

She had an expression on her face: "You don't have any, I have many."

The little girl with braids felt baffled. She didn't know what a broken leaf was, so she had no choice but to show it off. But she just couldn't stand Li Baoping's appearance, and she really needed a beating. The problem is that even the kids in the school who are about the same age as Li Huai can't beat Li Baoping. She once beat Li Huai to the ground and pretended to be dead. Li Baoping didn't give up and stripped off Li Huai. trousers, and then threw the trousers on the tree, hanging there high, naked Li Huai cried all the way back, his mother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, without saying a word, she dragged Li Huai to kill Xiang Fu On Lu Street, before arriving at Li’s house, the woman became so angry when she saw the majestic stone lions, painted door gods and tall courtyard walls on both sides of the street that she beat Li Huai again and even the front door of Li’s house. Without knocking, he pulled his son's ear and returned to the dilapidated house in the west of the town in despair. But that night, the woman killed a chicken and stewed it. Li Huai stood on the stool with his bare buttocks, dangling. He ate more happily than anyone else, but he still remembered the embarrassing incident of being pushed to the ground and slapped on the head by Li Baoping.

The little girl with braids stretched out her hands to show the length, and said with disgust on her face: "It's just a locust tree leaf, what's so cool about it? My father gave me a gold abacus last night. The abacus is made of gold, and it's so big!"

It's a pity that the little girl in the red cotton jacket was completely immersed in her own world and didn't care about the golden abacus at all. She continued to gently shake the locust leaves in front of her friends. She raised her pointed chin and pointed at Chen Ping'an in front of her. She said: " He gave it to me, I still have it in my bag."

The little girl with braids sighed. From the first day she met Li Baoping, she had such a disgusting behavior. She only says what she wants to say, only listens to what she wants to hear, and only does what she wants to do.

If it weren't for the fact that there weren't many peers of the same age in Qilong Lane, the little girl with crotch braids wouldn't want to play with her. Many times, Mr. Qi was helpless towards Li Baoping, because Li Baoping would always ask strange questions, but Mr. Qi would answer them seriously every time. Unfortunately, he often could not give an answer that convinced Li Baoping. Some Mr. Qi was very excited when he thought about a problem, and planned to give Li Baoping a lesson the next day. As a result, Li Baoping even forgot what he asked yesterday. When he thought of fishing for loaches, catching and releasing crickets, Zhiyuan, he ran away and left Mr. Qi alone.

Chen Ping'an was carrying those locust branches on his shoulders and could not turn around, so he could only ask a little louder: "How many people are there in the school now?"

Li Baoping was struggling to change his shoulder to carry the locust tree branch. He had changed it back and forth many times before, and it was burning.

The braid stretched out a palm and replied: "There are only five people left now, me, Li Baoping, Li Huai, Lin Shouyi, and Dong Shuijing."

She was idle, pouring beans from a bamboo tube, and then told the school's situation in one breath, "Mr. Qi promised to take us on a study tour before, and finally we were going to study at Shanya Academy. At that time, our school was still 14-5 years old. Personally, everyone in the family agreed. Later, most of these wealthy children living in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane first refused to come to school because of illness. Later, I heard from Li Baoping that they left the town directly, saying that Go and join distant relatives. When I first heard that I was going to Cliff Academy, this group of people was the happiest. I don’t know why they were happy. It’s not tiring to follow Mr. Qi on such a long journey.”

The little girl speaks in a childish voice, but is clear in logic, somewhat precocious and gentle, like a little adult. Chen Pingan thought of Gu Can for no reason, but she was different from the hedgehog-like slug.

Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "Then what is your name?"

The little girl with two braids said calmly: "My name is Shi Chunjia, so you can call me Miss Shi."

Chen Pingan was speechless.

Li Baoping said, "Just call her Little Stone."

Shi Chunjia was like a kitten with fried fur, and said angrily to Li Baoping: "Don't call me Little Stone! You can't do it either, Li Baoping!"

Li Baoping, who liked to think wildly all day long, had already moved her thoughts elsewhere from her childhood friend's nickname, so she didn't respond to Shi Chunjia's rebuttal.

Shi Chunjia, however, likes to have a more serious temper, and takes the trouble to talk to Li Baoping about reasoning and affection, just to get rid of the unpleasant nickname of "Little Stone", because Shi Chunjia knows that in the future, he will come to Mr. Qi's cliff academy. , as long as Li Baoping calls her a little stone once, then this nickname will probably never be shaken off.

Listening to the two little girls behind him talking about each other, Chen Pingan asked as he approached Fulu Street: "There are many houses with the surname Li on Fulu Street. Where is your home?" ?”

Chen Pingan thought that as long as he was not from the Li family of the four major surnames, it would be fine.

After all, in order to lure the old ape from Zhengyang Mountain out of the mountain, he used the Sophora japonica tree on Fulu Street to climb up the wall of the Li family's mansion. Speaking of which, Chen Ping'an also used a slingshot to smash two bird food jars of the Li family.

Shi Chunjia said angrily: "She is the family with the locust tree outside the wall. In the past, every time she was not allowed to go out for fear of her going crazy, she would secretly build a ladder up the wall, and then fall along the locust tree. Fulu Street. Once her parents were so angry that they moved the ladder away and forced her to enter through the gate. Unexpectedly, she jumped directly. After that, she did not come to the school for the next month. For months, I have been using a cane.”

Li Baoping did not feel embarrassed, but said seriously: "I reflected on it afterwards. My landing posture was wrong that time, and I shouldn't have stuck my feet straight down, so I will go there again after my legs are healed." Just try..."

Shi Chunjia said angrily: "Isn't it just another half-month break from school?"

Li Baoping curled his lips and said, "It will be fine after the third time."

Shi Chunjia said angrily: "That's because after a year, you have grown taller and grown very fast, so you can withstand the torment. Whether your landing posture is correct or not has nothing to do with it!"

Chen Ping'an didn't interfere in the quarrel between the two little girls. First of all, he was worried about whether he would be recognized by the Li family, so he closed the door and let the dogs out in anger. Furthermore, deep down in his heart, Chen Ping'an envied them very much, envied their happiness and stability, being controlled by their elders at home, and being able to study in a private school.

Although he had a headache, Chen Ping'an decided to help Li Baoping and deliver Sophora japonica to her doorstep.

Maybe this is the report of this world. I just told this little girl in a red cotton jacket that I must do what I promised, but in the end I had no choice but to go to the Li family mansion and throw myself into a trap.

I don’t know if God finally woke up from his nap, and felt that it was Chen Ping’s turn to take action. The concierge did not recognize him, and Li Baoping did not let him help carry the locust branches into the house. He was relieved. Just as Chen Pingan was about to turn around and leave, Li Baoping handed him the locust branch she was carrying on her shoulders, saying that this was her reward.

Chen Ping'an did not reject the little girl's kindness, he casually carried it on his shoulders and waved goodbye.

The concierge had long been accustomed to his young lady's weird temper. Even if he brought home a pile of locust tree branches that he disliked even for making a fire, he was not surprised at all. He was just a little worried about the young lady's big red cotton-padded jacket, which was worth more than those locust tree branches. too much. When this young lady was less than five years old, she was able to go to the creek and catch a big crab by herself. When she got home, she shed tears while raising her little hands high. There was one on her little hand that refused to let go until it died. The crab with pincers made my parents and ancestors extremely distressed. To this day, the crab with a blue-black shell and red claws is still kept in her big fish tank. The lady really doesn't like reading, so she just chats with it when she has nothing to do.

Looking at Chen Pingan's leaving figure.

Shi Chunjia glanced at Li Baoping beside him and said with a smile: "Is it him who caused you to lose one of your front teeth?"

Li Baoping suddenly walked up behind Shi Chunjia, held her two braids with both hands, and prepared to lift them up, "Believe me, it will definitely work this time."

Shi Chunjia was so frightened that she quickly squatted down, closed her eyes, and waved her hands randomly above her head to prevent herself from being pulled up by Li Baoping's braid again.

Li Baoping squatted beside her, who was slightly shorter than him, and said confidently: "Little stone, it won't hurt. How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it a second time? Right?"

Shi Chunjia was so frightened that she cried loudly.

The concierge couldn't bear it, so he came to the rescue of the shopkeeper of the New Year's shop in Qilong Lane and said: "Just now, Mr. Ma from the school asked Li Huai to send a message to the house to prepare a carriage. Miss, you can take it." Pack your luggage and go to the school first, then leave the town and travel to the Cliff Academy with Miss Shi. Of course, before going to the school, Miss can stop by Qilong Lane and load Miss Shi's things onto the carriage."

Li Baoping had no choice but to let Shi Chunjia go first. His face was full of disappointment. When they walked into the door together, he did not forget to feel sorry for Shi Chunjia.

The little girl with braids, who had survived the disaster, silently made up her mind to remove her braids today.

"Huh?"

Li Baoping suddenly made a sound of surprise and raised his head.

Shi Chunjia followed her line of sight and wondered, "It won't rain."

A large black cloud passed over the town.

From north to south.

The straw-shoe boy who had just walked out of Fulu Street was also looking up.

At that moment, the young man was shocked and speechless.

Where are the black clouds? They are clearly dense flying swords in the sky, with countless immortals wielding swords in the sky.

The young man slowly turned his neck, his eyes following the southward direction of the sword cloud.

Suddenly.

There is a black spot running from south to north, running counter to those flying sword immortals.

That black spot is getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, the straw-sanded boy with excellent eyesight widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost during the day. Over the south side of the town, a man stepped on a flying sword and tilted downwards. When he was about a hundred feet away from the ground of the town, he stopped for a moment and said, The man with the sword lowered his head and looked down at the town, looking around in all directions, and then rushed down towards Fulu Street.

In an instant, the sword flew thousands of miles a day, carrying a sound of wind and thunder that roared through the sky, and finally landed in front of Chen Ping'an.

The sword hovered half a foot above the ground. Above the sword, a heroic girl in dark green robes, her feet also hovered above the flying sword.

The travel-worn girl grinned, crossed her arms over her chest, and said with a heroic look, "I think I should say goodbye to you, so I'm here."

But before the young man carrying the locust branch could say anything, the sword-wielding girl with the sword hanging on her waist had a thought, and the sword tip immediately turned around, tilted upward, and disappeared in a flash.

The young man subconsciously stretched out his hand, but the girl and Feijian had already disappeared.

The embarrassed young man retracted his hand angrily, scratched his head, and walked towards Mud Bottle Alley, looking up from time to time.

The straw-shoe boy was a little disappointed at first, but soon became happy. It turned out that Miss Ning was a fairy.

So when Chen Ping'an passed by a shop in Qilong Lane, he spent money to buy a bunch of candied haws for the first time and ate it while walking.

As he ate, the young man felt a little empty for some reason.

The young man thought about it carefully, could it be because he felt sorry for the copper coins?
