Chapter 118 The Owner

However, Qiutong changed his mind before taking Zhang Xiaohua far.

Ou Yan hadn't told Qiu Tong before what books she wanted to bring to Zhang Xiaohua, and it was inappropriate to rashly bring others into the owner's study room without the owner's consent.

Therefore, Qiutong took Zhang Xiaohua to the outside of the hall.

As soon as Zhang Xiaohua approached the hall, Zhang Xiaohua heard two people talking inside. One voice was extremely pleasant, like an oriole out of the valley, and people would never tire of listening to it for a long time, while the other one spoke mellowly, without rushing or slowing down. , but still doesn't have that catchy charm.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help thinking that the one who spoke nicely was the owner Ouyan.

In fact, when she came to the inner courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua began to guess Ouyan's appearance and voice. She came to Huanxi Villa for several months, and Ouyan treated her very well. She had never seen him before. This time, It is not only returning books and borrowing books, but also thanking you for taking care of yourself face to face.

Qiutong asked Zhang Xiaohua to wait outside the house, and went in to report by herself.

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

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

Unfortunately, to his disappointment, that warm voice sounded: "Hey~, I finished reading it so soon? Could it be that this kid just flipped through it? Let him come in. Let me ask, if I really read it, I will understand." Yes, it’s not too late to borrow.”

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

Qiu Tong came out to signal Zhang Xiaohua to enter the room, and waited for Zhang Xiaohua to enter the room carefully, and then she saw clearly that there was a very dignified and beautiful woman in her twenties sitting directly above the hall, her temperament was like Liu Qian's. Generally speaking, the skin is fair and shiny. If it weren't for the fact that this person has Danfeng eyes and Liu Qian has almond eyes, Zhang Xiaohua would have blurted out "Sister-in-law"; The young woman was very dark and rough. Although the clothes were gorgeous, they couldn't hide her barrel-like waist.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help being taken aback, could it be that the voice that lingered 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, saluted deeply, and said, "Yes, sister of the owner, I am Zhang Xiaohua."

Ouyan was a little stunned, almost laughed out loud, and said, "Sister? Hehe, no one has called me sister for a long time. Zhang Xiaohua, your little mouth is really sweet."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't think so, she couldn't help scratching her head, and said, "Is there any problem? Sister Zhuangzhu."

Ou Yan was not annoyed, but asked, "Why did you remember calling me sister?"

Zhang Xiaohuaqi said: "The owner is older than my age, and I want to call her sister. What's more, the owner looks very similar to my sister-in-law. I almost called my 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 is very kind, so of course she should be called Sister."

The dark and rough woman next to her spoke, and the crisp voice rang in Zhang Xiaohua's ears: "Hehe, this little flower is really interesting. I haven't seen such a simple child for a long time."

Looking at the woman, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help saying, "Sister's voice is really nice."

Ouyan smiled and said, "You can call her Sister Qin. If you call her a few more times, she will talk to you a few more times and let you listen more."

That woman turned out to be Aunt Qin from Ming Cui Tang of Misty School.

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

Aunt Qin couldn't help being taken aback, and said with a smile: "Others call me Aunt Qin, but you boy actually call me elder sister. It sounds very comfortable. If you need your elder sister for anything in the future, just ask."

Ouyan laughed even more, and said, "Zhang Xiaohua,

Hurry up and thank Sister Qin, she doesn't speak easily. "

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

In fact, he didn't take it seriously in his heart, the sky would not just drop the pie, and when he met someone for the first time, he would definitely not help him just because of a title, and he didn't know what Ou Yan meant, it was probably just for fun.

Everyone laughed and said a few more words.

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

Zhang Xiaohua said honestly: "I have seen it, sister of the owner."

Ou Yan frowned a little this time, and said, "Sister Zhuangzhu sounds awkward, you can call me Sister Ou or Sister Yan."

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

Ou Yan didn't quite believe Zhang Xiaohua's words, and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, the most taboo thing about reading books is not asking for deep understanding, greedy for too much, last time I heard He Tianshu said that you have read a lot of books, this time you took such a book. Many books, read them so quickly, can you remember them and understand them?"

Zhang Xiaohua was a little anxious, and said, "Really, Sister Ou, I understand everything, but it's because I understand all these books that I realize that I don't understand too much."

Hearing what he said, Ouyan relaxed and said, "Well, let me ask you a few questions."

After finishing speaking, Ouyan flipped through the books, picked out some questions, and asked Zhang Xiaohua to answer them.

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

Ouyan was very happy to see that Zhang Xiaohua answered quickly, almost following her own words, and picked some questions that were not in these books, and asked him to answer them.

This time Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, and based on the knowledge she read, she answered what she thought was appropriate.

Ouyan was even more happy when she heard this, and after pointing out the inappropriateness of Zhang Xiaohua's answer, she said: "Zhang Xiaohua, I can't see that you are really proficient in these words, very good, just wait Come on, I’ll bring you some more books, you can read them carefully, if you don’t understand something, just come and ask me.”

After finishing speaking, he apologized to Aunt Qin, and took Qiutong out first with a smile on his face.

In the hall, only Aunt Qin and Zhang Xiaohua were left.

Aunt Qin saw Zhang Xiaohua standing there with lowered eyebrows, so she chatted with him and asked about Zhang Xiaohua's recent situation. Zhang Xiaohua did not shy away from this sister who spoke very nicely. She told how she came to Pingyang City, how she came to Huanxi Mountain Villa, and how she was injured. Only Beidou Shenquan and sword moves The matter was not revealed, but Aunt Qin sighed when she heard about Zhang Xiaohua's experience. She even thought of her own childhood experience, and couldn't help feeling closer to Zhang Xiaohua.

Just as they were talking, Ouyan 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, but it also sank in her hand, presumably there were a lot of books in it.

Ouyan sat on the seat and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, these are the books I picked out according to your situation. You should read them carefully. Just now, I heard from Qiutong that you actually know the way of combining theory with practice. It's really good. If you want to continue walking along this avenue, as far as you can go, it will be good for you and our villa."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Okay, Sister Ou, I will study hard and practice well, hoping to help Sister Ou solve the problem of seeds."

When it came to seeds, Ou Yan couldn't hide the sadness between her brows, and said: "Your expectations are good, but if you can 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 be at the wrong time, and said: "The ancients said it well, the three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, if we all think of a way together, there may not be no hope."

Ou Yan smiled and said: "What you said is also reasonable, but many things cannot be solved by a large number of people, but can only be handled by senior talents."

Then, Ouyan pondered for a moment, and said: "Zhang Xiaohua, you should read these books first. After a while, I will take you to see the real experts, how they handle herbs."

Hearing this, Qiu Tong's expression changed, and he said, "Miss, you decided to go by yourself?"

Aunt Qin also said: "Yan'er, think about it clearly, the journey is far away, thousands of miles away, can your body handle it?"

Ouyan smiled and said: "Sister Qin, don't worry about me. Although the journey is a bit far, didn't Qiutong walk it last time? My body is not weaker than Qiutong, why can't I go?"

Qiutong begged: "Miss, let me go again. You shoulder the fate of the villa, so it's better to stay in the villa and preside over the overall situation. Let us do the work of running around."

Ou Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Seeing that a year has passed, these seeds still have no movement. This is a big problem related to the improvement of Misty Sect's strength. I made a guarantee in front of my brother that day. If it can't be solved, how can I Didn't you become a sinner in the faction?"

Aunt Qin also persuaded: "These seeds have long been lost, and the specific planting method may have long been lost. Although you made a guarantee in front of the leader that day, most of them were planted. Why care about this?"

Ou Yan even smiled bitterly and said: "It is this point that is the most important thing. The last time Qiutong went there, he closed the door and didn't see him. He must think that we don't pay enough attention to it. If I don't go again, this way Isn't it also broken?"

Aunt Qin and Qiutong saw that they could not dissuade Ouyan, so they stopped talking. Only Zhang Xiaohua listened to the three people talking, as if listening to a scripture, and did not know what they were talking about. It seemed that it was the time when she was injured. Didn't it mean that she went to the south and didn't come to see herself? According to this, it means to ask someone to solve the problem of seeds, but they feel that Qiutong's identity is wrong, so they don't see him behind closed doors, and Qiutong comes back empty-handed. Now Ouyan wants to go in person, um, according to Ouyan's opinion, she has to take herself too. The other two think that Ouyan's status is noble and they are afraid of accidents, so they should stop it.

Zhang Xiaohua figured it out, and seeing that the three of them were not interested, she quickly thanked Ouyan for borrowing the book and was about to leave. Ouyan smiled and encouraged him a few more words before letting Qiutong take him down.

Qiutong was not in a good mood, so she took Zhang Xiaohua to Qiuju's yard with a calm face, and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, if you want to find me or the owner next time, don't rush in there again, even though you are old Small, but we still have to abide by the rules of the villa, wait here and see Qiu Ju or others, let them come in and find me, okay?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Understood, sister Qiutong, don't be unhappy, I believe there must be a solution."

Qiutong forced a smile and said: "I see, Xiaohua, you should work hard too, I hope you can help."

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

Zhang Xiaohua walked back with a big bag of books in her left hand, thanks to Zhang Xiaohua's strength of 500 catties in one arm, she seemed to be able to lift the weight with ease. The study was taken to the living room.

When Zhang Xiaohua returned to the house, she threw the package on the kang, drank some water, and opened her eyes when she opened it: "My darlings, there are quite a few of them. There are dozens of copies." No wonder it's so heavy."

However, Zhang Xiaohua's brows were beaming again immediately, with so many books, there was something to rely on for the long night.

In the evening, when Zhang Xiaohua finished practicing martial arts and opened a book, she suddenly found that it was different from the previous books. First of all, the previous books were relatively basic, but now these books are obviously more esoteric. It is suitable for Zhang Xiaohua's current level. If you look at it casually, it is just scratching Zhang Xiaohua's itch, making him reluctant to let go; secondly, the blank space on every page of the previous books is as clean as ever, but now these In the book, there are more or less beautiful small characters written in the blank space of each page. If there are few places, there are a few words to talk about, and if there are many places, it is densely written all over the page. Zhang Xiaohua squinted her eyes to read carefully At that time, I just realized that these words were written on the experience of reading this page. It was the first time Zhang Xiaohua encountered this reading method, so her eyes lit up and she began to read carefully.

The more Zhang Xiaohua reads, the more frightened she becomes, and the more she admires the writer. These notes in the blank space not only describe the key points of this page, but even quote a lot of scriptures, and write a lot of things by analogy, which is enough to explain the reader. The knowledge is profound, looking at it, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought of something, put down the book in her hand, picked up another book from the kang, opened it, sure enough, there were dense annotations in that book, and then Zhang Xiaohua picked up a few more casually, all the same.

Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized that the owner of the villa, Ou Yan, could not be the owner of such beautiful handwriting. Looking at such a large pile of books, Zhang Xiaohua felt admiration from the bottom of her heart that she could read them in such detail.

There is another point, that is full of gratitude, this elder sister of the owner really thinks that she is not an outsider, and she is not stingy to borrow the books she usually reads. At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua really treats sister Ou Put it at the same height as my sister-in-law.

With enough books to read, Zhang Xiaohua's life will be enriched without leaving. Working in the medicine field, practicing martial arts in the woods, reading under the lamp, three points and one line, Zhang Xiaohua is not lonely at all.

However, in her spare time, Zhang Xiaohua also has the slightest expectation to travel far!

Sister Qiutong traveled far away for a few months last time. She said it was the south, and she really wanted to go out and have a look. Pingyang City, the farthest place in my life, was only a few days away. From the books, the climate in the south , living habits and other aspects are very different from Pingyang City, and many medicinal materials are also different from Pingyang City. If you can go and see for yourself, it is of course better than just reading books.

The ancients said that it is good to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. This kind of pursuit, now Zhang Xiaohua actually has it, and the book is really a good thing for cultivating people.

However, the long journey did not come soon because of Zhang Xiaohua's miss, and after a few days, no one had any news, and gradually, Zhang Xiaohua stopped thinking about it.

That day, Zhang Xiaohua was working in the field as usual, and she saw He Tianshu bringing a few people over. The two of them were old men with white beard and hair, and behind them were a few younger people. Wu Youli, but their attitude was the same as that of He Tianshu, respectful to those two.

Zhang Xiaohua sighed, never seen Captain He like this before, presumably these two are high-level officials of the Pharmacy Hall, and the left and right are not members of the Misty Sect, and there is no need to pose for him respectfully, so Zhang Xiaohua With a low body, he carefully moved the soil, hoeed the weeds, carefully looked at each herb, and observed their condition.

It's a pity that things didn't go as planned, He Tianshu saw him from a distance, and didn't intend to let him go, and was leading the group of people towards this side, when he got closer, He Tianshu called: "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, quickly come and meet the Hall Master Bai and Elder He of our Pharmacy Hall."

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly gave a deep salute, and said: "I have met Hall Master Bai, Elder He."

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

Those two didn't return the salute, but Hall Master Bai waved his hand slightly, while Elder He nodded irrefutably and did not speak.

But He Tianshu still said a little uninterestedly: "Master Bai, look, Zhang Xiaohua is very eager to learn, and there are many books in our hall, can you lend him one or two to open his eyes? For those who work in the medicine field, it is always good 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 you have already forgotten the rules of our Misty Sect. How can the collection of books be developed by outsiders?"

He Tianshu smiled wryly and said, "I know the rules, Senior Brother Chang, but isn't this little flower from Huanxi Villa, and he's not an outsider in his hands."
