Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Yue Buqun quickly dismounted, walked to Lin Zhennan, and helped him up, saying, "Brother Lin, you're too kind! We're family now, why be so formal?"

"Furthermore, I've already spread the word that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is in my possession, so no one will bother your family anymore!"

Hearing Yue Buqun's words, Lin Pingzhi, who had experienced great ups and downs recently, was naturally deeply moved.

However, Lin Zhennan, being a seasoned veteran, knew that Yue Buqun was only being so kind to his family because he had his eye on the Fuwei Escort Agency.

But no matter what, he saved my family of three, so it's only right that I risk my life for him!

Lin Zhennan then stood up and said to Yue Buqun, "Please rest assured, Sect Leader, I will definitely develop the escort agency! However, I have a favor to ask, and I hope the Sect Leader can grant it!"

Yue Buqun smiled with satisfaction. It was so convenient to talk to a smart person: "Brother Lin, please feel free to speak your mind!"

Lin Zhennan looked at Lin Pingzhi behind him and said to Yue Buqun, "Please, Sect Leader, take in my good-for-nothing child and let him learn the Huashan Kung Fu! I ask for nothing else, just that he can protect himself!"

After learning that his family's Evil-Repelling Sword Manual required self-castration, Lin Zhennan gave up the idea of ​​having Lin Pingzhi learn it.

He only had one son, Lin Pingzhi. If Lin Pingzhi learned the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual, the Lin family line would end!

Therefore, the only option was for Lin Pingzhi to become a disciple of the Huashan Sect and accept their protection.

Yue Buqun is impeccable in both strength and reputation, so it's not a bad thing for his son to become his disciple.

Yue Buqun stroked his beard and smiled as he looked at Lin Zhennan, without saying a word.

For Yue Buqun, taking Lin Pingzhi as his apprentice would make Lin Zhennan and his wife more devoted to running his new Fuwei Escort Agency.

Seeing Yue Buqun's state, Lin Zhennan grabbed Lin Pingzhi and said, "Ping'er, why aren't you paying respects to your master!"

Lin Pingzhi then came to his senses and knelt down before Yue Buqun again: "Lin Pingzhi greets Master!"

"Good! Good! Get up!" Yue Buqun nodded in satisfaction. "From now on, you are my disciple, Yue Buqun's disciple. We'll hold the formal apprenticeship ceremony when we return to Mount Hua!"

Just as Yue Buqun and his group were about to continue their journey, a loud shout came from behind: "Lin Pingzhi, you can't escape my grasp!"

A man and a horse galloped up from behind.

Upon seeing Yue Buqun and his group, this man leaped off his horse, displaying remarkable agility!

Upon seeing the hunchbacked man standing in front of him, Yue Buqun immediately recognized him as Mu Gaofeng, the famous hunchback from the north.

At this moment, Mu Gaofeng also saw the person standing in front of him clearly, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips: "Isn't this Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect? What? You've also taken a fancy to this kid? But there's always a first-come, first-served order in everything. Leader Yue, you can't be unreasonable, can you?"

Although Mu Gaofeng had heard about Yue Buqun's defeat of Yu Canghai, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Yu Canghai is a short guy, what does that have to do with Mu Gaofeng?

Looking at the arrogant Mu Gaofeng, apart from Lin Pingzhi who looked nervous, everyone else looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Inside the carriage cage, Yu Canghai looked at Mu Gaofeng and seemed to see himself on that day!

Yue Buqun looked at Mu Gaofeng with an elegant air: "You must be the famous hunchback of the North, Mu Gaofeng! Now that Lin Pingzhi has become my disciple, may I ask what business you have with my apprentice?"

Mu Gaofeng snorted coldly: "Sect Leader Yue, I took a liking to this kid first, and I won't agree to him becoming my disciple!"

"Then what does Your Excellency intend to do?" Yue Buqun asked calmly.

Mu Gaofeng pondered for a moment, then revealed a greedy smile: "Let me take this kid away! Also, I heard that the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual has fallen into the hands of Sect Leader Yue, and I'd like to borrow it to take a look!"

"You wish to learn the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual? No problem!" Yue Buqun readily agreed, then turned and called out, "Chong'er!"

Hearing Yue Buqun's call, Linghu Chong walked over, holding a cassock with the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual written on it.

Linghu Chong is still very carefree, but there is an undisguised weariness in his eyes.

These days, Linghu Chong feels that the chivalrous and righteous world he once knew has vanished!

Upon hearing Yue Buqun's words, Lin Pingzhi quickly stepped forward: "Master, don't give it to him!"

Yue Buqun smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright, let him see if he wants to!"

Then he gave Lin Zhennan a wink.

Lin Zhennan understood and pulled Lin Pingzhi aside: "Ping'er, let your master decide everything!"

Chapter Thirty-One, Mu Gaofeng, the Chicken Who Was Cut Off! (Please collect, give flowers, and leave reviews!)

Taking the cassock handed to him by Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun looked at Mu Gaofeng with a smile and said, "Are you sure you want to see this Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?"

"Of course!" Mu Gaofeng stared greedily at the cassock in Yue Buqun's hand.

He had initially thought it was just a rumor that the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual was in Yue Buqun's possession, but he was surprised to find that it was actually true.

Yue Buqun handed the cassock directly to Mu Gaofeng and said calmly, "I hope you won't regret it after seeing it!"

Mu Gaofeng took the cassock and glanced at it. After seeing the densely packed words on it, he reached out to grab Lin Pingzhi and prepared to run away.

Yue Buqun directly stopped Mu Gaofeng's hand.

Mu Gaofeng's expression changed: "Sect Leader Yue, what do you mean by this?"

"I don't mean anything by it, I just want to ask if you have clearly seen what the first two lines of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual are?"

Mu Gaofeng had only glanced at it before and hadn't seen it clearly. After hearing Yue Buqun's words, he took a closer look.

"If you want to practice this skill, you must castrate yourself first?"

Upon hearing Mu Gaofeng read out this line, Yue Buqun drew his long sword: "Since you have read the sword manual, let me lend you a hand so you can master the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique as soon as possible!"

Seeing this, Mu Gaofeng also immediately took out his camel-hump sword.

Adhering to the principle of striking first, Mu Gaofeng thrust his sword directly at Yue Buqun.

This sword strike was delivered at an exceptionally tricky angle; an ordinary martial artist at such close range would have no chance of dodging it!

However, Yue Buqun was no longer the same as before. With a slight shift of his body, he dodged Mu Gaofeng's attack.

Then, the long sword in Yue Buqun's hand transformed into a streak of light and flashed past.

Mu Gaofeng felt a chill in his groin, and then all his internal energy was sealed, making it impossible for him to move.

Everyone looked at the blood-red patch of wood beneath their legs and couldn't help but clench their thighs together.

Yue Buqun took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his sword, then sheathed it and said to the shocked Linghu Chong, "Chong'er, quickly help Senior Mu to catch up with Headmaster Yu!"

"Yes, Master!" Linghu Chong snatched the cassock from Mu Gaofeng's hand and then put him and Yu Canghai into the same cage.

Linghu Chong looked at Yu Canghai and chuckled, "Sect Leader Yu, didn't you also want the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual? How about I ask my master to help you?"

Yu Canghai looked at Mu Gaofeng, whose pants were stained with blood, and quickly shook his head to refuse Linghu Chong's offer.

The world of courtyard houses.

It's the weekend again.

At the Jia family home, Jia Zhangshi took a bite of cornmeal, picked up a piece of pickled vegetable shreds with her chopsticks, and ate with relish.

Banggeng obediently ate his cornbread with pickled vegetables.

Madam Jia looked at Jia Dongxu and asked, "Dongxu, is there anything else you need to do today?"

Jia Dongxu was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What's wrong? Mom, is something wrong at home?"

Jia Zhangshi gave Qin Huairu a look, signaling her to speak.

After receiving a signal from Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu whispered, "Dongxu, Mom and I have noticed that Xiaoshan has been catching several fish every weekend these past few days, so we were thinking that if you have some free time, why don't you go fishing too?"

"Fishing isn't that easy! There are more people than fish at Shichahai now!" Jia Dongxu put down his chopsticks and said, "Haven't you seen how Uncle San and Xiao Shan usually come up empty-handed every time they go fishing?"

"Besides, fishing requires fishing gear, and I don't have any on hand right now!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were momentarily speechless.

Upon hearing about fishing, Banggeng immediately shouted, "Dad, I want to eat fish! I want to eat braised fish!"

"Eat braised fish my ass! I feed you and give you drinks, and you're still picking and choosing all the time. Do you want a slap?" Jia Dongxu glared at Bang Geng.

Seeing Jia Dongxu raise his hand to slap him, Bang Geng immediately became obedient.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Huairu said, "Dongxu, if we don't have anything else to do today, why don't we go back to my parents' house? There are definitely more fish in the wild river in the village than in Shichahai, and fishing rods and such are easy to make in the countryside!"

Jia Zhangshi's eyes also lit up, and she swallowed hard as she thought of the fragrant braised fish.

Looking at his mother and son, Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "Alright, let's go to Qin Family Village later and see if the fish in the village's wild river are easy to catch!"

Then Jia Dongxu said to Jia Zhangshi, "Mom, prepare five catties of flour for me. I'll take it to my father-in-law's house later."

Madam Jia's face turned somewhat grim: "Dongxu, why waste flour? Food is in short supply right now."

Jia Dongxu felt somewhat helpless. His mother was sometimes quite clever, even more farsighted than him, but at other times she seemed short-sighted.

“Mom, how much is five pounds of flour worth? We can break even by catching two fish,” Jia Dongxu explained. “Besides, we’re taking things with us. Do you think my father-in-law will let us come back empty-handed? And if we go to his house empty-handed, where will Huai Ru and I put our faces?”

Upon hearing this, Madam Jia Zhang thought Jia Dongxu's words made sense: "Alright, whatever you say! You are the pillar of our family now, so you can make the decisions."

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.

After breakfast, Jia Dongxu took Qin Huairu and carried five catties of flour out of the house.

Qin Huairu was holding her two-year-old son, Xiaodang, in her arms.

"Dongxu, where are you all going?" Yi Zhonghai asked curiously as he washed his face by the pool and looked at Jia Dongxu's family.

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Master, Huai Ru hasn't been home for a while, so we'll go back to visit her this weekend. Also, the child's maternal grandmother wrote to say she misses the child, so Huai Ru and I will take Xiao Dang back to visit her and let the old lady see her granddaughter."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction: "That's only right. The elderly have had a hard life, and as younger generations, we should try our best to fulfill their wishes."

Yi Zhonghai loves to hear stories of children in the courtyard showing filial piety to their elderly relatives, regardless of whether the elderly person is him or not.

He had always wanted to cultivate a tradition of filial piety towards the elderly in the courtyard, so as to create conditions for his own retirement in the future.

Yi Zhonghai reached into his pocket, took out ten yuan, and handed it over: "Dongxu, buy some things for your father-in-law and mother-in-law. They have many relatives in the countryside."

Jia Dongxu was surprised by the unexpected joy: "Thank you, Master."

The couple said goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and hurried to the station to catch a bus back to Qinjiacun.

He Yuzhu got up early in the morning and started grooming himself, polishing his shoes and washing his hair.

The rainwater even helped tidy up the pigsty-like room.

He Yuzhu was so enthusiastic because Director Wang had told him a couple of days ago that he would bring a girl to meet him this morning.

Given He Yuzhu's personality, he would naturally want the whole hospital to know about such a happy occasion.

Chapter Thirty-Two: He Yuzhu's Blind Date, Xu Damao Sabotages It!

Seeing that He Yuzhu hadn't even met the girl yet, but the whole courtyard already knew about it, Xiao Shan didn't know what to say.

However, Xiao Shan was also curious: under the current circumstances, would someone try to sabotage He Yuzhu's blind date, just like with Future Video?

So Xiao Shan gave up his original plan to go outside the city on the weekend to see if he could get some wild game, and stayed in the courtyard as a simple and unpretentious bystander.

After hearing that Director Wang was going to introduce a potential partner to He Yuzhu today, Xu Damao lingered outside the gate after breakfast.

Although he was already at the point of discussing marriage with his partner, he still couldn't stand seeing He Yuzhu doing well.

In Xu Damao's opinion, it would be best if He Yuzhu remained a bachelor for the rest of his life!

Xu Damao wandered around the courtyard several times before finally seeing Director Wang leading a young woman toward them.

Xu Damao secretly sized up the girl and found that although she wasn't dressed up much, she was indeed quite pretty.

"Director Wang, you're here! Who are you introducing someone to?" Xu Damao pretended not to know that He Yuzhu was going on a blind date.

Director Wang said with a smile, "Zhuzi is not young anymore, so I was just trying to set them up! This is Li Caijuan, a female worker at the textile factory."

“Caijuan, this is Xu Damao from Zhuzi’s courtyard.”

Xu Damao quickly smiled and said to Li Caijuan, "Comrade Caijuan, hello, I am Xu Damao, a projectionist from Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

"Hello, Comrade Xu Damao, I am Li Caijuan, a female worker from the textile factory," Li Caijuan said gracefully.

Xu Damao didn't dare to say anything bad about He Yuzhu in front of Director Wang.

Because Director Wang is knowledgeable and experienced, he was afraid of being exposed and then he would be in deep trouble.

Li Caijuan also remembered Xu Damao; the projectionist was one of the eight key personnel, much better than the female workers in the workshop.

After chatting with Xu Damao for a few minutes, Director Wang led Li Caijuan into the courtyard.

They happened to run into Yan Bugui, who was tending to the flowers and plants at the entrance.

Seeing Director Wang walk in with a strange young woman, Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Director Wang is here! Is this the girl you were talking about with Zhu Zi? She's quite the handsome young man!"
