Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve
Liangshan Nunnery is located in the north of Fengtian City, a hilly area with green mountains and clear waters, with a radius of nearly five miles.It is said that the origin of the place name Liangshan Nunnery is because there used to be a temple named Liangshan Nunnery here, and a monk who became a Buddha was born. Later, the temple was destroyed by a fire and was never rebuilt. Ancient pine, evergreen all the year round, not disturbed by mosquitoes, is quite spiritual. Later generations called this place Liangshan nunnery in memory.Liangshan nunnery has been a geomantic treasure since ancient times, and many nobles from the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were buried here a hundred years ago.Every year between the end of spring and autumn, Liangshan Nunnery is a good place to go out for sightseeing.It's just that in the past ten years, after the Japanese occupied the Northeast, they designated land as a boundary and bought all the area around Liangshan nunnery, so few people went to visit it.
The place where Huo Xiaoxie is located is only half a day away from Liangshan Nunnery.Huo Xiaoxie's legs were quick, and he arrived at the foot of Liangshan Nunnery within half a day.
When Huo Xiaoxie was in Fengtian, he heard people talk about Liangshan nunnery, but he had never been there. Before, he put his livelihood first, and he didn't care much about the scenic spots.When he got to the foot of the mountain and looked up, Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help praising that it really was the mansion of the gods.
You can only see the floating clouds, the green mountains, the ridges when you see them alone, and the peaks when you see them from the side. The mountains are beautiful and the winding paths lead to secluded places. Cliff is uncanny workmanship.Among the clouds and mist in the middle of the mountain, a building with blue bricks and green tiles is vaguely exposed, which looks like a fairy mansion.What a Liangshan nunnery, although it is not as majestic and vast as the Five Sacred Mountains, and the magnificent horses of the famous mountains are dignified, but it also has a quiet and elegant atmosphere.
Huo Xiaoxie also couldn't help but praised: "What a landscape! I have been in Fengtian for more than ten years, why did I only see such a good place today! If I didn't come here in person, others said that there is such a Jiangnan outside Fengtian City. place, I really don't believe it!"
Huo Xiaoxie walked a little further, and saw a smooth mountain road leading directly to the mountain.Huo Xiaoxie walked along the road, and as soon as he bypassed a section of the ridge, he saw a huge stone sign standing on the side of the road, engraved on it: "The territory of the Great Japanese State, Chinese people are strictly forbidden to enter, and anyone who trespasses will be shot at the territory." There is no way to kill", and the inscription is engraved with "The Kwantung Army Headquarters of the Empire of Japan Announcement".
Huo Xiaoxie frowned and cursed inwardly, "This is obviously China's land, even if you bought this piece of land, you can't be so arrogant!"
Huo Xiaoxie wouldn't be intimidated, so he straightened his body and walked in the middle of the road with big strides, continuing to walk forward without avoiding or giving way.
After not walking far, I saw that at the end of the road, there were two sentry boxes with wooden barriers, blocking the road going up the mountain.Before and after the sentry box, several heavily armed Japanese soldiers were patrolling.
Huo Xiaoxie thought about it for a while, then a burst of arrogance rose, and he still strode towards the sentry box.
The Japanese soldier looked up, and he was very obedient. Why was a young man dressed in rich clothes coming towards him without fear, and he was still walking in the middle of the road, swaggering.The Japanese soldier murmured in his heart, who is this?
The Japanese soldier hesitated for a while, and Huo Xiaoxie had already walked up to him.This time the Japanese soldiers quit, they all raised their guns, rushed forward, aimed at Huo Xiaoxie, and one of them shouted, "Stop! What kind of work!"
Huo Xiaoxie saw seven or eight guns pointed at him with steady muzzles, and knew that these Japanese soldiers were not local ruffians, but must be well-trained and good at shooting.If they shoot all of a sudden, it's really not easy to dodge.
Huo Xiaoxie stopped, glared at the Japanese soldiers shouting, and cursed loudly: "Why can't you go in?"
Inside there was a Japanese soldier who looked like an officer, wearing a military cap with a flat brim, a saber, a pistol, and white gloves. When he heard that Huo Xiaoxie was speaking Chinese, he jumped out ferociously and yelled a few words. Japanese.
Huo Xiaoxie scolded: "I don't understand! Fuck!"
The Japanese officer had a grim look on his face and shouted bluntly, "It's from China! What's your name!"
As soon as Huo Xiaoxie saw that he still owed the money, he became angry, and his mouth was hard: "Go away the fucking way! You are a little chicken! Just your virtue, Lao Tzu Why tell you? Let your people in charge speak!"
The Japanese military officer could understand Chinese, his face turned red with a swipe, he yelled "Ba Ga", he pulled out his saber with a swipe, and pointed it at Huo Xiaoxie.
Huo Xiaoxie cursed inwardly calmly: "Damn melon seeds, it's quite troublesome to see Yi Run Guangyi! Maybe there's a fight first! Damn it, I just don't want to take that piece of shit! Show the stone to your grandson!" Huo Xiaoxie glanced quickly, saw the positions of the Japanese soldiers and the surrounding environment clearly, and had already figured out how to knock them down if they really wanted to fight, and broke in. Method.
Huo Xiaoxie chuckled, stretched his forehead forward, and shouted: "Come on, chop here!"
The Japanese officer yelled, facing such a provocation, he couldn't hold back any longer, raised his saber high, and was about to strike at Huo Xiaoxie.
Huo Xiaoxie thought to himself: "Opportunity!" Just as he was about to react, he heard someone yelling in Japanese, and the words reached the ears of the Japanese officer, who forced him to put down the knife, stepped back immediately, nodded and remained silent .
Huo Xiaoxie thought, "It's time to take care of things."
Sure enough, from the sound of clogs slamming on the ground on the road ahead, a Japanese man in a white and blue kimono came slowly.
The Japanese man walked straight towards Huo Xiaoxie, looking at Huo Xiaoxie intently.
The Japanese soldiers immediately made way for him, and he walked in front of Huo Xiaoxie, all of them were respectful and did not dare to show their air.The Japanese officer didn't even dare to lift his eyes, and stood obediently by the side of the road, as obedient as he wanted, without the arrogance just now.
The Japanese man bowed slightly to Huo Xiaoxie, and said in very authentic Chinese: "Sir, I'm very sorry. If you don't mind, can you tell me your name."
Huo Xiaoxie thought to himself that this person still looks like that, how nice it is to be so amiable, your little Japan is still so arrogant in China, who can bear this anger.
If someone respects me a foot, I will return him a foot, so Huo Xiaoxie clasped his fists and said, "Hello, my name is Huo Xiaoxie."
The complexion of the man in the kimono changed, and he asked in panic, "Are you the fire of the flame? Smaller..."
Huo Xiaoxie felt awkward, and said, "Yes, the fire of the flame, the small is the small size, and the evil is the evil of the evil sect."
The man in the kimono was stunned, and suddenly stood at attention, bowed forty-five degrees, and shouted very respectfully: "Lord Huo Xiaoxie! It is you who came! Please forgive me!" You must know that the Japanese bowed forty-five degrees after standing at attention. Five degrees is the most respectful way to bow to the other party. Many people think that ninety degrees is a sign of respect, but it is actually a big mistake.
Seeing him bowing forty-five degrees, the Japanese officer and other Japanese soldiers behind the man in kimono turned pale with panic. They immediately put down their guns in unison, shouted Hay, and bowed to Huo Xiaoxie without daring to move. Move, the Japanese officer's face was covered with cold sweat, and his legs trembled slightly.In fact, Huo Xiaoxie didn't know that there were no ten people in the Northeast who could make this man in kimono bow forty-five degrees.
Huo Xiaoxie couldn't help but smile wryly at the sudden change in the other party's attitude. She didn't know what to say, and instead became a little embarrassed. Where has he ever been treated like this?
Huo Xiaoxie groaned a few times before uttering: "You, you, you don't have to do this."
The man in the kimono still didn't dare to straighten up, he turned slightly to the side, made a gesture of please, and said carefully: "Master Huo Xiaoxie, I have been waiting for you, please come here. Please pay attention to your feet, there are still some strange things on the ground. Too flat, please forgive me."
Huo Xiaoxie secretly said: "Damn it, why don't you let me fight, uncle, you have goosebumps all over your body."
Huo Xiaoxie bit the bullet and walked forward, the man in the kimono closely followed half a step to the side, maintaining a bowing posture.
A few Japanese soldiers moved away the wooden railing with flushed faces as if they had taken aphrodisiacs, retreated to the side of the road and continued to bow.
The man in the kimono took Huo Xiaoxie into the mountain road, accompanied him for about ten steps, and then said, "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, I can't accompany you on the road ahead, please forgive me."
Huo Xiaoxie replied vaguely: "Okay, okay, I can go by myself, you can go back."
The man in the kimono said, "Master Huo Xiaoxie, please invite me first."
Huo Xiaoxie was eager to leave quickly, and said, "Okay, okay. I'm leaving!"
Huo Xiaoxie breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly walked up the stone steps, remembering the "courteous treatment" just now, she couldn't help turning around to take a look.
The man in the kimono below was still standing obediently. When he saw Huo Xiaoxie turning his head, he immediately said hello and bowed forty-five degrees again. A group of Japanese soldiers a few steps away also shouted loudly, row Form a row and bow to Huo Xiaoxie.
Huo Xiaoxie hurriedly turned her head, walked up quickly in a panic, and thought to herself: "Mom, what kind of stupid thing is this? It feels like I am their ancestor." But Huo Xiaoxie recalled, those Japanese There is absolutely no flattery or flattery in the expression of the Chinese, but a meticulous respect, without any falsehood, which makes people feel strange and proud at the same time.
Huo Xiaoxie didn't look back, and walked up non-stop. After winding and climbing hundreds of steps, he came to a small platform, and there were two roads ahead.
Huo Xiaoxie was thinking about which way to go, when he flicked his ears, he could faintly hear rustling footsteps coming quickly, he is definitely good at listening to the sound!And there are more and more rustling noises, and there is a tendency to encircle them!
Huo Xiaoxie's heart tightened suddenly, and he secretly shouted: "Here comes the right master! I was careless when I went up the mountain just now!"
Huo Xiaoxie thought about avoiding it, but it was too late, the footsteps came too fast.Huo Xiaoxie knew that the enemy was unknown at this time, if he ran around, it would be even worse, so it was better to stop still and wait attentively.
Huo Xiaoxie flicked his hand and touched the Lieyan Knife pinned to his waist.
The rustling stopped suddenly!Huo Xiaoxie glanced sideways, and the forest around the platform was already full of masked men in black ninja costumes, all of whom raised their right hands and held the handle of the knife behind them, ready to attack at any time.
Huo Xiaoxie scolded Sheng Cao in a low voice, moved her footsteps slightly, and slowly rotated on the spot to observe the situation around her.Huo Xiaoxie looked around and knew in his heart that the strength of these ninjas should be comparable to the ninjas under the jurisdiction of Yi Run Guangyi in the Five Elements Underground Palace. If they rushed forward to fight, they might not be able to escape here today.
When Huo Xiaoxie was thinking about the countermeasures with flashes of lightning in his mind, he suddenly saw a gray-clothed ninja come out from behind the surrounding ninjas, and came to Huo Xiaoxie without a sound, and stopped walking three steps away. Standing still, he nodded slightly, and said bluntly in Chinese: "Please show me."
Huo Xiaoxie snorted: "Show me what?" His heartstrings were tense, and he didn't think of what this meant for a moment.
Murderous intent flashed across the gray-clothed ninja's eyes, and Huo Xiaoxie's heart tightened when he saw it.
But the ninja in gray immediately calmed down, and said bluntly, "Lord Yi Run's token."
Huo Xiaoxie let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly lowered his head and unbuttoned his coat, and began to search carefully.It's not that he is afraid of ninjas, but the current situation is really out of Huo Xiaoxie's accident, and if he can avoid a battle, try to avoid it as much as possible.
Huo Xiaoxie's piece of jade engraved with the word "Zhen" was sewn into the inner lining by Huo Xiaoxie's inner three layers and outer three layers, in case it might be lost, it took some effort to take it out.The ninja in gray has been staring closely, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Huo Xiaoxie took out the jade, squeezed it in his hands, and showed it to the gray-clothed ninja.
The ninja in gray said, "Please throw it here."
Huo Xiaoxie didn't say a word, and threw it over.
The gray-clothed ninja reached out to take it, looked it over and over, nodded slowly, put the jade in his hand, suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, please forgive me, please continue to keep it .”
"Here we come again." Huo Xiaoxie thought, then took a few steps and took the jade from the grey-clothed ninja.
The gray-clothed ninja knelt down and couldn't get up, just retracted his hands, put them on his knees, and said, "Master Huo Xiaoxie, please go this way."
The ninjas in black all around also started to act immediately, black figures walked through one by one, one after another came to a mountain road on the right side of Huo Xiaoxie, and every few steps, someone would kneel down on one knee, the movements were similar to those of the ninjas in gray. two.
The ninja in gray said, "Master Huo Xiaoxie, please."
Huo Xiaoxie swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, almost took steps with the same hands and feet, the muscles all over his body twitched, itching and numb.There are so many ninjas kneeling on the road, more than the man in kimono and the Japanese soldiers at the beginning.
Huo Xiaoxie managed to adjust her pace, and stepped up the stone steps with a stiff scalp. Every time a black-clothed ninja passed in front of her, the black-clothed ninja would say hello and lower her head halfway to show respect.
Huo Xiaoxie didn't want to look around, and didn't dare to be complacent in his heart. He held his breath, took three steps and walked straight up, and finally walked through this "kneeling ceremony".
Remembering the lesson, Huo Xiaoxie didn't want to turn her head back, and hurried forward along the mountain road, and finally came to the end, and came to a mountain clearing.
On the opposite side is a chic house, without walls, antique and exquisite, with many brightly shaped low trees dotted in the middle, well-arranged, if you look carefully, the leaves of each tree are carefully constructed.
When Huo Xiaoxie saw him, it was like a dream. If he hadn't come to look for Yi Run Guangyi, when he saw this house, he would have thought it was the place where some elegant Confucian sage lived.
"Master Huo Xiaoxie, you are finally here." Someone not far away spoke softly.
Huo Xiaoxie turned his head to look, and saw an old man with gray hair, kind face and plain white kimono who appeared at some time, smiling and walking towards Huo Xiaoxie from one side.
When Huo Xiaoxie saw the old man, he felt a warmth in his heart. The weirdness he encountered along the way just disappeared, not only was he not afraid of him at all, but he felt very kind to him.
Huo Xiaoxie was unguarded, cupped his fists and said, "Who are you?"
The old man walked up to Huo Xiaoxie, and instead of bowing, he said in an easy-going way: "My name is Tuxian Zangfeng, and I am Jufazang of Mr. Yirun Guangyi. According to the Chinese meaning, it is equivalent to a big housekeeper. Huo Xiaoxie Sir, you can call me Tu Xian directly."
Huo Xiaoxie said a little embarrassedly: "Ah, I'd better call you Uncle Tu Xian."
The old man named Tuxian Zangfeng smiled and said: "This is definitely not good, please call me by my name Tuxian."
Huo Xiaoxie had no choice but to say: "Mr. Tuxian, can you? The big housekeeper in China is also called Mr."
Tuxian Zangfeng nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Huo Xiaoxie, if you must call me that, so be it. Please come with me, I will show you around first." Saying that, go ahead Go, lead the way for Huo Xiaoxie.
Huo Xiaoxie followed Tuxian Zangfeng and asked, "Mr. Tuxian, Yirun Guangyi...is your lord there?"
Tuxian Zangfeng said with a smile: "Master Yirun is not here now, but he will be back soon. He told me to show you around first and rest."
Huo Xiaoxie couldn't refuse, and followed Tuxian Zangfeng to the house.
After passing through several antique houses, I saw a low courtyard wall.Before Tuxian Zangfeng reached the door, he slapped three palms, and with a creak, two shiny black wooden doors opened, and two handsome men in Japanese blouses walked out.
These two handsome men bowed slightly to Tuxian Zangfeng and Huo Xiaoxie, lowered their heads to avoid them, and welcomed them into the room.
Tuxian Zangfeng said: "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, please come in."
Huo Xiaoxie followed Tu Xian Zang Fengmai into the courtyard with nonchalant noises.
Originally, Huo Xiaoxie already felt that the house was clean and tidy along the way, but after entering this courtyard, she realized that the houses in the courtyard were even worse.
There are several cobblestone-paved paths in the courtyard, leading directly to a huge and simple building. On both sides of the road, countless chrysanthemums are blooming, but there is no sense of noise. It seems that the size and orientation of each chrysanthemum have been carefully designed.Going forward, there are small bridges, flowing water, bonsai about one person tall, and Buddha statues carved from jade. Although the layout is not as complicated as the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, it is also clear, generous and exquisite.
After walking through this small courtyard, we came to the eaves.
The layout of this house is very different from the houses that Huo Xiaoxie has seen. Most of the big houses in China are made of bricks and stones as walls, covered with putty wall soil.But this house doesn't seem to have a door, it's full of rows of windows falling straight to the ground.The whole house is made of wood, the ground is slightly higher, and there is a wooden corridor under the window that is enough for three people to walk together. It looks spotless.
Tuxian Zangfeng walked to the front of the house, took off his shoes, stepped into the corridor, turned his head and smiled at Huo Xiaoxie, "Master Huo Xiaoxie, please take off your shoes."
Huo Xiaoxie did as the Romans did, took off her leather shoes, and walked up.
Tuxian Zangfeng said please, and walked to one side with Huo Xiaoxie.
Huo Xiaoxie looked around while following, and praised in his heart: "Why is it so clean! Everywhere looks like it has been waxed!"
Seeing Huo Xiaoxie watching curiously, Tuxian Zangfeng said with a smile, "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, have you ever been to such a house?"
Huo Xiaoxie replied: "It's the first time I've entered someone's house barefoot. The style here feels Chinese, but it doesn't look like it."
Tuxian Zangfeng said: "Of course it is Chinese style, and it is an authentic Tang Dynasty living room style. Many Chinese people lived in this kind of house hundreds of years ago. The residences of the Song Dynasty are not too different."
Huo Xiaoxie asked: "Tang Dynasty?"
Tuxian Zangfeng said: "Yes, the Tang and Song dynasties were the teachers of Japan, and they taught Japan many things. We have always been very serious, kept it very carefully, and are proud of it."
Huo Xiaoxie snorted, and asked again: "What about the Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty? What have you learned?"
Tuxian Zangfeng said: "After the fall of the Song Dynasty, Japan "became a vegetarian" to mourn the demise of the Song Dynasty. Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty made two expeditions to Japan, but both failed, but since then Japan has severed relations with China. Ming Dynasty The people of the court recovered slightly, but because Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched the Korean War, the exchanges were not close, but they still surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty fell, Japan had almost no contact with the Qing Dynasty.”
Huo Xiaoxie asked: "The whole country is vegetarian? What do you mean?"
Tuxian Zangfeng said: "It means that all people in the country, regardless of high or low, male or female, old or young, do not eat oil or meat, and only eat vegetarian food to mourn."
Huo Xiaoxie said, "Why is there no contact with the Qing Dynasty?"
Tuxian Zangfeng said: "Master Huo Xiaoxie, we thought that the Qing Dynasty was China under the rule of barbarians. The real China is dead, and there are not many real Chinese left. The reason why you hear and see us call it now It is for this reason that China is called China, and the Chinese are called Chinese people. We respect China and Chinese people before the Qing Dynasty."
Huo Xiaoxie was a little dazed when he heard that, recalling that Yi Run Guangyi also said the same in the Five Elements Underground Palace, he couldn't help asking: "Is there any difference between now and before?"
Tuxian Zangfeng smiled and said, "Is there any difference between our place and the place you have been to?"
Huo Xiaoxie replied: "Well, there is a big difference."
Tuxian Zangfeng had already led Huo Xiaoxie around several turns, walked through a long corridor, and walked towards a room.
The door of the room was immediately opened horizontally, and two petite and beautiful women in plain kimonos walked out of the room quickly with small steps, and knelt at the door to welcome the arrival of Tuxian Zangfeng and Huo Xiaoxie.
Huo Xiaoxie blushed slightly, and wanted to tell them to get up, but she held back because she was afraid that it would be more embarrassing to say it.
Tuxian Zangfeng and Huo Xiaoxie entered the house and invited Huo Xiaoxie to sit on the floor.Two maids stepped forward, knelt on the ground, set up a low table for Huo Xiaoxie, and placed a bamboo basket on the low table with warm towels inside.The two maids spoke a few words in Japanese, bowed their bodies and stepped back, kneeling by the door and waiting.
Huo Xiaoxie didn't know what to do, so she had to look at Tuxian Zangfeng.
Tuxian Zangfeng smiled and said: "Master Huo Xiaoxie, this is for you to wash your hands and face. You are not used to it and you don't need it. I will also ask you to take a bath and change clothes to relieve fatigue. After lunch, I will take you Take a tour."
Huo Xiaoxie was flattered and said: "Mr. Tuxian, don't be so polite, I am very embarrassed. I will wait for Mr. Yi Run to come back, and we will meet and chat for a while. Besides, I am not Mrs. Huo Xiaoxie , I'm just a little thief, it's not worth treating me like this."
Tuxian Zangfeng said seriously: "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, you are the only son of Lord Yirun, not only my young master, but also the young master of all Japanese ninja soldiers. We should have welcomed you more solemnly , but Master Yi Run is worried that you will not get used to it, that's why it's so simple. Therefore, Master Huo Xiaoxie, you must not underestimate yourself! If you are not satisfied with my arrangement, I can only commit seppuku and ask for your forgiveness .”
Huo Xiaoxie was shocked and said: "I am satisfied, I am very satisfied, please don't say that, I will follow what you say."
Only then did Tu Xian Zangfeng smile, and said, "Master Huo Xiaoxie, please take a bath and change clothes first."
Outside the steam-filled bathroom, Huo Xiaoxie looked awkwardly at the two maids who followed closely, and said, "I'm undressing, please go out, I'll just go in and wash myself."
The two maids obviously didn't understand, so they hurriedly said hello, and they both came forward to take off Huo Xiaoxie's clothes.
Huo Xiaoxie's ears were so red, he grabbed his clothes and shouted: "No, I don't want you to help me take it off, I want you to go out, I will do it myself."
The two maids stood by Huo Xiaoxie's side and kept explaining in Japanese, but refused to leave.
Huo Xiaoxie said bitterly: "It would be great if Pan Zi was here, he must like it. Mom, I really can't stand this, beating me is better than undressing in front of me. What should I do? Is it hard to steal something? Fuck me, today is going to stump me!"
Huo Xiaoxie was in a stalemate with the two maids for a while, as this was not an option, so she came up with a plan and stepped forward to grab the maid by the shoulder.The maid didn't avoid it at all, and even showed a shy expression.
Huo Xiaoxie secretly called out: "I won't do anything to you!" Then he turned her around and turned her back to him, saying, "Stop, don't turn your head."
Huo Xiaoxie turned the two maids with their backs, jumped back two steps, three times and five divisions, like lightning and thunder, stripped herself naked in the blink of an eye, grabbed the big towel on the ground, and wrapped her lower body , At the same time, I still don't forget to carry the Lieyan knife with me.
Huo Xiaoxie didn't even call the two maids, and walked out of the dressing room sideways like a crab, got into the bathroom, and slammed the door shut.
Huo Xiaoxie found a corner of the bathroom, a stone tub big enough for ten people to bathe in. He stretched out his feet to test the water temperature, and when the temperature was just right, he walked in and sat down into the water, only to take a long breath. tone.
But Huo Xiaoxie soaked for a while, and was about to stand up, when she heard the bathroom door slammed open, and looked up, the two maids were wearing light gauze clothes, holding towels, soap, etc. walked in.The clothes are so thin that they are almost transparent, and you can have a panoramic view of the spring in the clothes.
Huo Xiaoxie let out a scream, sat back in the water, and shouted, "Why are you in here! Get out! A big man is taking a bath, what are women doing here!"
Seeing Huo Xiaoxie's nervous expression, the two maids stopped in their tracks even though they were puzzled, not daring to go forward.A maid timidly said in awkward Chinese: "Master, our waiter, I will wash it for you."
Huo Xiaoxie tightly protected her lower body with a towel, and shouted: "I don't need you, I don't need you. How can you take a shower while I'm here? I can't stand this, you guys get out, or I'm in a hurry!"
Huo Xiaoxie opened his mouth and looked outside the door, and continued to shout: "Mr. Tu Xian! Mr. Tu Xian! Are you there?"
The two maids looked at each other, and had no choice but to put all the items on the stone steps beside the bath, bowed to Huo Xiaoxie, slowly backed out, and closed the door.
Huo Xiaoxie finally felt more at ease. He lay down in the water, leaning on a big rock as his pillow, and said to himself: "Enjoyment is quite enjoyable, but it's a bit awkward. Take your time, take your time, don't be like a bumpkin, Daddy The yelling, isn't it just the woman who waits for the bath? It's not a big deal, women are not afraid, but you, a man, are afraid of a fart."
Huo Xiaoxie relaxed her muscles and bones, and enjoyed the comfort in the bath. There was a bamboo tube next to the bath, which poured hot water continuously, making a splashing sound, and always maintained a suitable temperature. Moreover, there were several medicine bags floating on the water surface, which should belong to Wrapped with Chinese herbal medicines, soaked in water to drive people away from fatigue.
Huo Xiaoxie practiced hard for days, exhausted himself, hurried here, and was cautious all the way, with a high level of nervousness. Seeing that the maid had already retreated and did not come in again, he finally relaxed his whole body, closed his eyes, and rested his mind.
Huo Xiaoxie hadn't taken a bath like this for a long time, and hearing the sound of rushing water, she couldn't help falling asleep.
Just at this twilight moment, there was a soft sound of water turbulence, Huo Xiaoxie just thought that the water was overflowing, he didn't care, and he didn't open his eyes.However, he felt the air around him gradually becoming warmer, and there seemed to be a pleasant smell piercing his nostrils. Huo Xiaoxie sniffled.Huo Xiaoxie still didn't open his eyes, he just thought it was because his body was soaking comfortably, his blood vessels were flowing, and his nibbles were restless. This is a common thing for a young man with fresh blood.
But vaguely, hot water was sprinkled on his forehead, and a soft towel was stuck to his forehead.
This is a comfortable thing, but when Huo Xiaoxie thought that the towel would never fall on his forehead for no reason, he was shocked, and suddenly opened his eyes. Just reach out and grab it.
This movement was extremely fast, with a snap, something soft was caught in his hand.
Huo Xiaoxie took a closer look, let out a soft cry, and immediately let go of his hand, as if his whole body was getting an electric shock, he swished away.
It turned out that what Huo Xiaoxie grabbed was a woman's hand, and this woman was wearing fine gauze and stayed in the water!She was beside him just now, but she didn't notice it. If she hadn't put a towel on her forehead, she really wouldn't have noticed it!How did this woman get in?Why is there no sound at all?Didn't even notice it was so close?If she wanted to kill herself, she would have been out of her wits already!
Huo Xiaoxie shouted loudly: "Who are you!"
The woman slowly withdrew her hand, neither panic nor dodged, sat up straight facing Huo Xiaoxie, but slightly avoided Huo Xiaoxie's eyes, and said in not pure but very clear and pleasant Chinese: "My name is Gong Ben Chia is your fiancée."
Huo Xiaoxie took a closer look, the beauty of this woman is simply breathtaking.Her skin is as white as snow, her black hair is like ink, her nose bridge is high, her mouth is small, her long eyelashes flutter gently, and her face is as delicate as a rare jade.She was wearing a spun gauze bathrobe, which was tightly attached to her body. She was submerged in the water, as if she was nothing, and her curves were even more proud, and she dared not look directly at her.Her breasts were half exposed, her plump white breasts almost jumped out from under her clothes, and two attractive pink flowers bloomed on her chest.Although she was so beautiful, she showed an indescribable calmness and elegance, she was by no means an ordinary woman!
Huo Xiaoxie swallowed hard, not daring to be careless, took the Lieyan knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about! Whose fiancee are you!"
The woman raised her head and looked quietly into Huo Xiaoxie's eyes without blinking, which made Huo Xiaoxie feel a little embarrassed.
Huo Xiaoxie grabbed the towel covering her lower body tightly, and shouted, "What are you looking at!"
The woman said softly: "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, Masako has been waiting for you to appear since she was born, and my life also belongs to you. As long as you don't dislike me, I will always be by your side and serve you."
Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "I don't know you! Get out quickly, or I'll be rough!"
The woman said: "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, do you want me?"
"Do you want anything?" Huo Xiaoxie saw that the woman had no intention of retreating, and she didn't want to eat hard food, so she softened her tone and said, "Girl, please go out first, okay? I can't stand this."
The woman said: "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, do you hate me?"
Huo Xiaoxie felt uncomfortable all over, and said: "Girl, it's the first time you and I meet, men and women can't accept each other. I don't have such a good fortune! Please go out."
The woman lowered her eyes and said, "If this is the case, then I can only die in front of you." As soon as the words fell, the woman lifted a sharp sharp knife from the water and stabbed it straight at her chest. .
Huo Xiaoxie didn't hesitate at all when he saw the saber's movement, but he didn't think that this woman really wanted to die.Seeing that a life was about to die in front of him, Huo Xiaoxie wouldn't hesitate. With a loud cry, he jumped straight over the bank, grabbed the woman's arm, and held her tightly.But the tip of the knife pierced half of the woman's skin, and the dark red blood flowed out, dripping on the snow-white skin, which was really conspicuous and had a strange beauty.
Huo Xiaoxie put both hands together, snatched the sharp knife, and flung it far away, grabbed the woman with both hands, and shouted: "You are crazy! If you say a few words, you will seek death!"
The woman looked at Huo Xiaoxie quietly, and said, "Master Huo Xiaoxie, are you reluctant to let me die?"
Huo Xiaoxie stared at her and said, "Even ants and flying insects cherish their own lives! How can you say that you will die if you die? It's just because I said a few words to let you out."
The woman smiled lightly and said, "Lord Huo Xiaoxie, this is my destiny. If I can't be by your side, there is no meaning for me to live."
Huo Xiaoxie said: "What kind of nonsense is this, I don't understand."
The woman smiled softly, and slowly approached Huo Xiaoxie's arms.Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to push her away, so she could only let her lean against his chest, smelling the fragrance in his chest, it was soul-stirring.Huo Xiaoxie's heart was flustered, and she let go of her hands.
The woman caressed Huo Xiaoxie's chest with a pair of slender hands, and said, "I live in this world because of you. To me, you are the most important thing in my life and my soul." , if you don’t want me, don’t let me follow you and serve you, then I live like a walking dead. Master Huo Xiaoxie, it’s you who wake me up. From the moment I saw you, I felt that I was a complete people."
Huo Xiaoxie didn't know why, but his heart was moved, and he said in a low voice, "Your name is Miyamoto Chiya?"
The woman raised her head, looked at Huo Xiaoxie with great reverence, and said, "Yes. Lord Huo Xiaoxie can call me Masako."
Huo Xiaoxie asked: "Okay, Masako, did you just say you were my fiancée?"
Miyamoto Chia said: "Yes. If Master Huo Xiaoxie doesn't want me to be your wife, I am also your woman, and I will accompany you, serve you, and be loyal to you for the rest of my life."
"Master Yi Run arranged for you to come?"
"yes."
Huo Xiaoxie was taken aback for a moment, pressed Chia Miyamoto's shoulder, stretched it a little, and said in a deep voice, "Master Yi Run forced you to do this?"
"No, I did it voluntarily. It's my honor, Mr. Huo Xiaoxie."
"why?"
"I am a child adopted by a Japanese ninjutsu family, and my destiny is to wait for your appearance."
"...What if I don't show up?"
"Then I will wait for you all the time, and when I am about to grow old, I will take poison and kill myself."
Huo Xiaoxie looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, who seemed to be as non-human as fireworks. Although her clear eyes were calm and indifferent, they showed strong determination, without the slightest hesitation or confusion.
Huo Xiaoxie put down his hands, took two steps back slowly, and leaned against the big rock beside the bath, feeling all kinds of feelings. He is just a reckless, inferior, lifeless little thief, how could he have such a responsibility? , controlling the life and death of a beautiful woman.
Huo Xiaoxie smiled hoarsely, and said, "Okay, I see...fortunately, I'm here."
Miyamoto Chia leaned forward slightly, and said, "Master Huo Xiaoxie, can I rub your back for you?"
Huo Xiaoxie looked at the celestial beauty in front of her, blushed slightly, thought for a while, and said: "It's good, it's good, but I've never let a strange woman take a bath for me, it's a bit embarrassing. I'm afraid that once I bear I can’t help but touch you. Well, that’s not what it means, I’d better wash it myself and talk to you after I go out.”
Miyamoto Chia smiled slightly and said: "Huo Xiaoxie, I am your woman, no matter how you treat me, whenever you need me, I will be happy. So, please don't refuse."
Huo Xiaoxie gritted her teeth and said, "Then, that's fine. Thank you for your hard work."
Chia Miyamoto nodded with a smile, took a towel and wooden basin from the bathtub, and walked to Huo Xiaoxie.
Miyamoto Chia was almost naked, Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to look at her, so she hurriedly turned her back.
Kneeling in the water, Miyamoto Chia rubbed Huo Xiaoxie's back carefully, her plump and firm breasts touched Huo Xiaoxie's body from time to time, blowing like blue.Huo Xiaoxie was distracted, his whole body was dry and hot, but fortunately he had a very high level of Stealing Technique, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart, and did not dare to act rashly.
After washing like this for a while, Huo Xiaoxie asked: "Yazi, do you know martial arts? When you came in, I didn't notice it at all."
"I know secret ninjutsu, Chiyomezo."
“千代目藏？这是什么？”
“是密殿流忍术的级别。”
“想必是很高的喽。”火小邪颇为好奇。
“不是很高，忍术的级别繁多，不一而同，说法也不一样。但密殿流的千代目藏，是第二高的级别，再往上是万代目宗殿主，天下只有您的父亲，伊润广义大人一个人达到。”
“哦！怪不得！密殿流是什么？”
“密殿流是专门保护日本天皇的一个忍术流派。”
“你能不能详细说说？”火小邪微微转头问道。
“火小邪大人，我的本事低微，不能说的太详细。您只要愿意知道，届时伊润大人会亲自为你讲解。”
“哦！这样啊。”火小邪支吾了一声，本想让宫本千雅演示一下她是怎么无声无息来到自己身边的，可一想到宫本千雅半裸着身子，还是把这个请求咽了回去。
火小邪明白，这个叫宫本千雅的女子，对他是服服帖帖，言听计从，温顺的难以想象。火小邪不敢相信，是日本的女子天性便如此，还是接受过专门的教育？火小邪本以为林婉已是非常的温柔贤惠了，可比起宫本千雅来，仍然是判若云泥。
宫本千雅为火小邪打完香皂，洗净了后背、胳膊，轻声道：“我为您洗前身。”说着玉手轻轻一探，摸着火小邪的腰间滑过，转到了火小邪的胯下，正好抚摸住了火小邪的命根。
火小邪还没有听清，宫本千雅的手已经放至自己的耻处，火小邪哪曾想过她有这么大胆，浑身一震，触电一般扭开身子，护住下体，惊声道：“这里不用！”
宫本千雅本来清雅的脸上，也是飞出两朵红晕，低声道：“我来帮你吧。”
火小邪连连摆手，脸上涨的通红，说道：“真的不用！啊，你别误会，我真的不是嫌弃你啊。我是真的不习惯，这个我自己洗，自己洗就好了，我拜托你了。还有，前面都我自己洗就好了！”
宫本千雅微微鞠躬，十分恭顺的说道：“好的。”
火小邪说道：“麻烦你转过身，不要看我，我一会就好。洗完了叫你！”
宫本千雅还是温顺的说道：“好的。”便转过了身去。
火小邪暗暗的长嘘一声，赶忙低头飞快的洗完，把大毛巾在腰间绑的紧紧的，这才叫道：“好了，可以了。我洗完了！”
火小邪换了身日式的便服，在女佣的带领下，走入客厅。低头一看，自己的衣服、行李正整整齐齐的放在房间一边的桌上。
刚才火小邪让宫本千雅服侍着出了浴池，不见了自己衣服，询问之下也不好发作，只能穿上这套日式便服。虽说换了日本的服侍，感觉上有点别扭，好在这套衣服穿在身上，非常的舒适柔软，也就作罢，不再计较。宫本千雅让女佣过来带火小邪出去，自己则退下一旁更衣不表。
火小邪进了客厅，刚刚坐下不久，土贤藏丰便笑盈盈的进来，询问火小邪洗的是否舒适。
火小邪支支吾吾答了声不错，正想询问土贤藏丰关于宫本千雅的事情。土贤藏丰却用日语招呼着女佣为火小邪端茶倒水，忙碌开来。
火小邪无从插嘴，只能再等片刻，终于和土贤藏丰坐定，这才谨慎的问道：“土贤先生，宫本千雅你认识吧。”
土贤藏丰一笑，说道：“当然认识。”说着一抬头，看向门外，说道，“她来了。”
塌塌塌细碎均匀的脚步传来，门口走入一个穿着淡黄色旗袍的女子，这女子一进门，便小步上前，跪在塌上，深深向土贤藏丰一拜，说了声日语，然后转过头来，又向火小邪深深一拜，说道：“火小邪大人，雅子来迟了。”
火小邪看得出神，刚才宫本千雅在浴池里，酥胸半露，周身浸湿，显得性感柔媚，出水芙蓉一般，这番换了衣裳，正装出现，又另有一番别样的滋味！她衣着合体，略施粉黛，举止得体，尽管是异国服侍，可举手投足之间，都显出温柔贤惠、大家闺秀的气质，平静、端庄，略有娇羞之色，又似欲拒还迎，增一分则放荡，减一分则清高。
这样的一个宫本千雅，比在浴池中的春色无边，更让火小邪心动不已，真有一股子冲动涌起，想将她压在身下，好好的把玩一番。
宫本千雅向火小邪拜完，盈盈走到火小邪身侧，不远不近的跪坐于地，双手交叉放于腿上，向火小邪微笑示意。
火小邪面上一红，心中狂跳一番，不敢再与宫本千雅对视，连忙转头看向土贤藏丰，说道：“土贤先生，雅子，雅子她……是我的未婚妻？”
土贤藏丰笑道：“火小邪大人，雅子你满意吗？”
火小邪扭头看了眼宫本雅子，宫本雅子微微低着头，一副淑女贤妻的气质。
火小邪耳根又是一烫，转头对土贤藏丰说道：“这个事情也太突然了。”
土贤藏丰说道：“这是伊润大人的一片苦心，他一直坚信你还活在世界上。之所以你来的时候，没有告诉你，是想让雅子直接与你单独见面，亲口对你说。想必雅子已经与你说了其中的原委吧。”
火小邪叹道：“可雅子为我牺牲的太多了吧。”
土贤藏丰平静的说道：“火小邪大人，雅子不是平常的女子，她是密殿流的千代目藏，忍术一流。她不仅能够陪伴在你的身边，也能扶持你，守护你，成为你的左膀右臂。如果火小邪大人不愿意娶她为妻，无论你做什么，无论你身边还有多少其他的女人，她也不会有任何的怨言，依旧会忠心耿耿的跟随着你，听从你的吩咐。可是火小邪大人，你千万不能抛弃雅子，雅子是为你活着的女人，你要是抛弃她，雅子只有选择死去。”
火小邪偷偷看了一眼身旁的宫本千雅，她依旧温顺而平静的端坐着，好像生死之事，对她而言只是小事一桩，不值一哂。这样一个绝美的人儿，竟能为自己舍弃一切，无怨无悔，火小邪实在不知道怎么拒绝。
火小邪深吸一口气，缓缓说道：“那好，雅子就跟随着我吧，我会对她好的。只是我们能不能结婚，现在我还想不清楚。”
土贤藏丰笑道：“火小邪大人，你们两个多多相处，等你们情投意合的时候，你再做最后的决定。”土贤藏丰看向宫本千雅，说道：“雅子，快谢谢火小邪大人接纳你。”
宫本千雅一扭身，向着火小邪深深一拜，说道：“火小邪大人，请您多多关照。”
火小邪又是一阵难为情，连忙半蹲着将宫本千雅扶起，说道：“雅子，我是个粗鲁的人，不懂什么规矩，也毛毛躁躁的，爱发脾气，我以后什么地方做的不对，你直管说我，千万不要护我的短。”
宫本千雅感动的看着火小邪，说道：“火小邪大人，你对我太好了。雅子一切都听你的。”
火小邪眼眶一热，心头也是无言的感动，他是一个自幼孤苦的人，情感无依无靠，宫本雅子虽说出现的突然，可是这么的平静、包容、温和，竟如汪洋大海中，专门为火小邪而设的一个宁静港湾，时刻等待着火小邪停靠、歇息。这种感受，无论是以前所见的水妖儿、林婉还是其他任何人，都无法给予的，直直的插入火小邪内心中最柔软的地方，难以撼动。
火小邪握住宫本千雅的手，将她扶起，不禁有些不好意思的笑了起来。宫本千雅尽管是略显娇羞，却不扭捏作态，不拒不退，大方自然。
两人尽管相对无言，但场面颇为温馨。
土贤藏丰看在眼里，知道火小邪已经真心诚意的接纳了宫本千雅，不禁呵呵一笑，说道哦啊：“火小邪大人，你一定饿了，我们这就用餐吧！”
日式的美食一道一道，接连不断的端了上来，每一道菜份量不大，却精美异常，色香味俱全，连一片胡萝卜雕成的餐花，都是精雕细琢，堪称艺术品，让人不忍食用。
宫本千雅陪在火小邪身旁，挽起袖角，亲自为火小邪夹菜，蘸调料，端茶倒酒，并介绍这道菜所用的材料。土贤藏丰坐在火小邪对面，一直笑眯眯的看着火小邪、宫本千雅两人，并不多说，由着火小邪开怀大吃，只是不时的敬酒，询问味道可否满意。
火小邪心情大悦，这几日里忙着和烟虫交流盗术，都顾不上好好吃饭！连日奔波，已是累了，加上洗了个热水澡，松活了筋骨，更得了个美人在一旁服侍，胃口相当的不错。
火小邪最初对宫本千雅的服侍还有些客气，慢慢也就习惯了，来者不拒，欣然享受，大吃大嚼一番，吃了个十成饱，还与土贤藏丰豪饮了数壶“清酒”。
火小邪本就是个性情中人，加之心情一好，喝了点酒，天王老子在也能谈笑风生，所以吃喝到最后，火小邪的拘束一扫而光，哈哈大笑着与土贤藏丰说话，显出一身的豪气。
宫本千雅作陪，不时与火小邪对饮一杯，此时酒不醉人人自醉，火小邪也不是什么满口道德，自命清高的伪君子，宫本千雅靠的近了，火小邪干脆搂住她的细腰，不再放手。美人美酒美食，忘却江湖恩怨，儿女情长，恰如李白《将进酒》诗曰：“人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来”，正是火小邪此时的心境写照。
用罢午饭，土贤藏丰并不着急带着火小邪四处游览，而是要宫本千雅陪着火小邪先去休息。火小邪感觉自己喝的面红耳赤，也不好一身酒气的到处逛，便由宫本千雅领着去了另一侧的卧室。
火小邪不见有床，正觉得奇怪，宫本千雅已经从大柜中取出了被卧，铺于地上，请火小邪休息。
火小邪呵呵一乐，心想这样倒也方便，就要往上躺。宫本千雅将火小邪拉住，轻声道：“火小邪大人，请你脱下外套，这样睡舒服一点。”
火小邪心头一乐，故意伸开双手，想试一试宫本千雅，说道：“好，那你帮我脱吧。”
宫本千雅念了声嗨，微微一笑，近身上前，为火小邪宽衣解带。
火小邪低头看着宫本千雅的眉眼，闻着她身上淡淡的香味，感受着她体贴入微的服务，心中一热，双手一拢，将宫本千雅拥入怀中。宫本千雅娇声轻喘，顺从的贴上了火小邪的身子。
火小邪并不造次，他只是轻轻的抱着宫本千雅，低声说道：“雅子，我从来没有想过我能拥有你这样的女人……可事到如今，我却有些害怕。”
宫本千雅低声道：“你为什么会害怕？”
火小邪将宫本千雅支开几分，看着她的眼睛，诚恳的说道：“我怕这一切都不是真的，你不是喜欢我，你只是服从我，甚至你的服从，也不是真的。”
宫本千雅凝望着火小邪，说道：“可这都是真的。我喜欢你，真心真意的喜欢你，火小邪大人，从伊润大人告诉我你的消息，我就喜欢上了你。而当我第一眼见到你的时候，我就知道，我可以随时为你死去。”
火小邪说道：“雅子，我相信你，但你说的太自然了，好像你认识我很久很久了，一点都没有羞于启齿的表情。”
宫本千雅低下了头，说道：“我很想象个普通的中国女人那样对你，可我一出生就是个忍者……我不知道怎么样才能做到你的要求，请你原谅我，火小邪大人。雅子真的很想做到你要求的一切，我一定会努力的。”宫本千雅说着，头微微侧向了一旁，晶莹的泪花在她眼中翻滚着。
宫本千雅的泪光，将火小邪的心揪的剧痛，火小邪一把将宫本千雅抱在怀中，抚摸着她的背脊，说道：“雅子，对不起，是我不了解你们，你不要哭，我刚才不是故意的。我是怕突然有一天，你会告诉我，你是骗我的，然后离开我。我真的很害怕，真的。”
宫本千雅闭上了眼睛，两行清泪划过脸颊，手臂一紧，投入的拥抱着火小邪，说道：“火小邪大人，雅子永远不会辜负你的，永远不会。”
火小邪的眼泪，再也控制不住的流出，火小邪又是哭又是笑的说道：“谢谢你，雅子！谢谢你！我很高兴能遇见你。”
宫本雅子同样又哭又笑的呼唤着：“火小邪大人！火小邪大人！”
连火小邪都没有想到，他本以为自己已经足够的坚强，却会在雅子说出“我永远不会辜负你”的时候，感情如此快的决堤，所有的辛酸、屈辱、郁闷、苦恼控制不住的随着泪水奔流而出，一发而不可收拾。火小邪第一次觉得，怀中的这个叫宫本千雅的女人如此的真实，而且自己也如此的真实，他甚至强烈的害怕起来，如果他不是伊润广义的儿子，会不会再次变成黄粱一梦。
两人就这样紧紧的拥抱着，再也没有说话，尽情的流淌着眼泪，感到无比的幸福。
在这片院落的地下，一间明亮的木质大屋中，伊润广义一个人静静的坐在正中靠墙的软塌上，紧闭着双眼，纹丝不动，似乎没有任何事情能够惊扰他。他的身后，是一个二人多高，巨大的“忍”字。
脚步声传来，有人不急不乱的走到伊润广义面前，盘膝坐下。正是土贤藏丰。
伊润广义慢慢睁开眼睛，向土贤藏丰微微一鞠躬，说道：“土贤老师。”
土贤藏丰并不还礼，淡淡的说道：“伊润大人，雅子做的很出色，她已经得到了火小邪的认可。”
伊润广义说道：“那太好了。”
土贤藏丰说道：“火小邪不仅得到了一个完美的女人，而且得到了一个强力的助手，以雅子的性格，她一旦认定了火小邪，就会万难回头，与火小邪同生共死。伊润大人，你不担心火小邪知道真相以后，会背叛你吗？”
“是土贤老师犹豫了吗？”
“我老了，不再象以前那么果断了。”
“土贤老师，你是在担心我。”
“伊润大人，虽然我是你幼年的老师，但你现在已经远远的超过了我。我的任何担心，你都不要放在心上，完全的按照你的意愿去做吧。”
“土贤老师，请你认真的辅导火小邪，就象你教我一样。”
"I will."
“我晚上就会见他。今天下午不要打扰他们两个，让他们多相处一会。你下去吧。”
“哈依。”土贤藏丰微微一点头，站起身来，向外走去。
土贤藏丰走了许久，伊润广义才又慢慢的闭上眼睛，轻念道：“珍丽……对不起……请你原谅我……”
诺大却空洞洞的房间中，只有伊润广义一个人，形单影只的枯坐着。原本明亮的火烛渐渐熄灭，将伊润广义没入到浓浓的黑暗中，好像世界上，他根本就不曾存在过。
火小邪睁开眼睛的时候，宫本雅子正睡在他的臂弯中，她的一双美目一眨不眨的看着火小邪。刚才两人和衣而卧，什么都没有发生。
雅子轻轻的说道：“你醒了？”
火小邪淡淡一笑，将怀中的雅子抱的紧了紧，说道：“我睡了多久？”
雅子说道：“大概有三个小时。”
火小邪抖擞了一下精神，坐了起来，自言自语道：“居然睡了这么久。”
雅子站起身来，为火小邪准备衣裳，要服侍火小邪穿衣。
火小邪看着雅子忙忙碌碌的，走过去牵住雅子的手，两人相对而坐。
火小邪说道：“雅子，你对我这么好，有些话实在不想瞒着你。”
雅子说道：“火小邪大人，你不想说的，不用告诉我的。”
火小邪抓紧了雅子的手，说道：“雅子，我睡觉前，的确很想得到你，可我还是忍住了。”
雅子说道：“火小邪大人是不喜欢我吗？”
火小邪说道：“不是。我很喜欢你，只是我心里，还装着其他的女人，怎么都忘不掉。我不想这么随便，这样会对不起你，所以……我们再相处一段时间。”
雅子说道：“只要火小邪大人心里有我就行了，雅子不会介意的，只要你高兴，雅子随时都可以……”
火小邪轻叹一声，说道：“我不知道我是怎么了，那两个女人和我若即若离，虚无缥缈，根本就没有可能在一起，可我就是放不下。刚才抱着你的时候，我却满脑子都是她们。”
雅子说道：“火小邪大人，雅子明白的，雅子绝对不会介意的。”
火小邪点了点头，说道：“那委屈你了，雅子。”
火小邪换好衣服，和雅子走出卧室，来到客厅。土贤藏丰正坐在屋外的小院中品茶，显得分外悠闲。
土贤藏丰一见火小邪出来了，向火小邪连连招手，让火小邪过来。
火小邪走过去，坐在土贤藏丰对面，向他道了声好。雅子则向土贤藏丰微微一鞠，退于一旁的矮桌边，摆弄着桌上的茶具。
火小邪见雅子仔细的倒水，泡茶，洗刷茶具，动作十分的漂亮、端庄，不禁问道：“土贤先生，雅子这是在做什么？”
土贤藏丰笑道：“这是茶道，也是唐朝时传到日本的，经过日本国长期的保持和演化，便是这样了。雅子可是全日本一流的茶道高手，有她在场，我就不便卖弄了。”
火小邪哦了一声，观看着雅子的茶道，果然十分高雅，加上茶香四溢，还没有喝到口中，就觉得内心平静而愉悦。
火小邪说道：“嗨，我是个粗人，真没想到喝茶还有这么多讲究。”
土贤藏丰说道：“唐宋时代的茶宴、茶会、斗茶、点茶法，各种茶具以及抹茶的制造方法等传入日本后，茶禅合一，旨在清心，后来由佛门传入民间，变成了今日的茶道。中华文化博大精深，讲究天人合一，茶道只是尔尔，我们要学的还有很多。”
火小邪问道：“土贤先生是要教我？”
土贤藏丰说道：“等你见过伊润大人后，我会倾囊相授。”
火小邪追问道：“伊润大人什么时候能见到？”
土贤藏丰说道：“不着急，等你喝了茶以后，我们四处逛一逛，伊润大人就回来了。”
火小邪念了声好，雅子已经端了茶上来。火小邪接过，净瓷的茶杯端在手中十分的温润，茶香扑鼻而来。火小邪习惯性的吹了吹，喝了一口，茶水微热而不烫舌，喝在口中刚刚好，顺着喉管而下，留得满口生香，心中一畅。
火小邪赞道：“什么茶这么好喝？好喝好喝！”说着也不顾及许多，几口便饮尽了，长嘘了一口热气，通体顺畅。
土贤藏丰也接过雅子的茶，慢慢的细品，见火小邪已经喝光了，笑眯眯的看着火小邪，平静的答道：“茶不是什么好茶，寻常的而已。雅子是用茶道的办法，将茶叶中自然的味道以及精气神化入水中，辅以适当的温度，所以与你平时喝茶的感觉不同。日本的大茶人千利休，曾用茶道前的插花，以残缺、凋零之美，让铁石心肠的大枭雄丰臣秀吉也落下眼泪，所以在日本，茶道之最高境界有“不是茶”的说法，茶竟然不是茶，其实是人们希望透过茶，渴望着什么，简单地说，是渴望着渺茫的自由，渴望着心灵的悟境，或者渴望着做一个更完整的人吧！”
火小邪听的感触不已，说道：“居然一杯茶中，有这么深的道理。”
土贤藏丰说道：“这些与中华文化相比，还是不值一提。眼看着中华文化逐渐凋零，日本人做为学生，无不心疼万分。许久许久以来，日本人一直困于大海中的几座小岛上，地域狭窄、多灾多
