Chapter Seventy-Eight: Crossing the Brazier
When he heard the word Xie stunned, Ye Fan couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Because, in his memory. It turned out that in the Song Dynasty in that world, there was a scholar who seemed to be named Xie Xuan.
Look at the former physicist, and then look at the bearded man in front of him. Ye Fan felt that the guy in front of him was simply ruining the name Xie Su.
Qi Chaoqun looked at the two people who were not good, frowned and asked, "The two of them, are you the little brother you took in prison?"
"It's a long story. This is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk about it when the time comes. Ye Fan smiled and shook his head.
Wan Shitong simply assigned, Qi Chaoqun and Ye Fan followed him in a car. The other three, Luo Fei, Ah Ghost and Big Beard, got into Tian Qi's car.
Ye Fan originally thought that these two people had arranged for him to sit with them because there was something to ask. Starting from the pier and going all the way to the Dragon King Temple, they didn't ask anything, they didn't say anything.
It's just that when he was about to enter the city, Wan Shitong, who was driving, suddenly said: "It seems that someone has been following us." ”
When Wan Shitong said this, Ye Fan was still sleeping soundly. It was Qi Chaoqun who pushed him, and he opened his eyes leisurely.
"What's the matter, it's here?" Ye Fan asked sleepily.
It's no wonder that he slept so deeply. During this time in prison, his heart hung all the time. Now, back to the people who care about me, my whole mind and body are completely relaxed. So, after getting in the car, he quickly entered the dream.
"There is still a way to go from Xuanjiang. Director Wan noticed that shortly after leaving the dock, a car had been following us. Qi Chaoqun said, turning his head to the back.
Hearing this, Ye Fan also turned his head. He found that not far behind Tian Qi's car, there was indeed a car. The speed of the car is moderate, and it follows like that, not far or close.
"Let him follow. Regardless of him. After Ye Fan looked at it, he withdrew his eyes. After saying a word, he closed his eyes again.
Ye Fan didn't sleep anymore, but was thinking about things.
At the dock just now, he didn't see Qi Nan. With that girl's character, if she knew that she was out of prison today, she would definitely come to pick her up. But she didn't come today.
When he returned to the Dragon King Temple, he solved the doubts in his heart. It turned out that this girl stayed at home to prepare another welcoming ceremony for herself.
The car stopped in the alley in front of the temple, and Wan Shitong made an appointment with Ye Fan to set up wine in Zuihuanlou at night to catch him and wash the dust. Then, I drove away.
"Even though it's the same sky, I still think it's bluer here. The air is also fresher. After getting out of the car, Ye Fan glanced at the familiar environment, and after letting out a sigh, he walked into the alley in front of the temple.
After a few steps, he saw a familiar figure. That familiar figure is Qi Nan.
The girl, now on tiptoe, stretched her neck to look out.
The other party was puzzled, she had seen herself, but she didn't run up to greet her.
This abnormal behavior made Ye Fan a little curious. However, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, he left for more than a month. That's a long time, enough for a lot to happen.
With curiosity and questions, walk through the alley in front of the temple and climb the ramp steps. When he saw three burning braziers at the entrance of the temple, Ye Fan not only did not understand, but became even more puzzled.
"Brother Ye, come over quickly!" At this time, Qi Nan's face was full of irrepressible joy.
This girl is still the same as before, and she hasn't changed at all. Ye Fan thought, if it weren't for the three braziers, she would definitely pounce.
Ye Fan didn't immediately step over, but frowned and asked Qi Chaoqun on the side, "What does this mean?"
"Straddling the brazier. Don't you know?"
Qi Chaoqun saw Ye Fan shaking his head, so he explained with a smile: "This is a custom. The common people believe that the prison is a place of ominous filth. You've been in prison for so long, and you've got an ominous filth on you. When you step over the brazier, the fire can drive away the bad luck. In addition, fire is also a symbol of prosperity. ”
Ye Fan smiled helplessly, he wanted to say, 'This is feudal superstition. ’
However, all of this now is obviously carefully prepared by Qi Nan for herself. In order to live up to the silly girl's wry smile, Ye Fan felt that he had to do this boring funny thing.
"Brother Ye, welcome back. ”
When Ye Fan stepped over the brazier and came to the gate of the temple, Qi Nan couldn't control it anymore and gave him a big hug. Not only that, but this girl was still lying in Ye Fan's arms, crying with a whimper.
"Alright. Didn't I come back intact!" Ye Fan comforted softly while patting the girl's back.
Ye Fan was not comforted, but it was okay. This comfort, Qi Nan cried even more fiercely. For a while, Ye Fan was also a little overwhelmed.
By this time, the three braziers had already been removed. Qi Chaoqun came over and said, "Okay." Your brother Ye came back safe and sound, you should be happy. Crying and crying, like something!"
Actually, what Qi Chaoqun wants to say is not Qi Nan's crying. Instead, he hugged Ye Fan and cried in front of so many people. Although they are all beggars, after all, there is a difference between men and women.
Hearing his father's reprimand, Qi Nan reluctantly let go of Ye Fan. Glancing at the people around him, he wiped his tears shyly and stepped aside.
"Brother Ye......" Yun Xiu stood there with red circles in her eyes. It wasn't until Qi Nan left that she called out to Brother Ye. But the latter words were already choked up and couldn't be spoken.
Ye Fan stepped forward with a smile and gave the little girl a hug without hesitation.
"It's only been more than a month, and our Yunxiu has grown taller again. ”
Ye Fan just hugged it briefly and let go. After all, there are so many people watching.
"Okay, let's go take a shower and change our clothes. They have already prepared the meal, and when you finish washing it out, we will start the meal. Qi Chaoqun interjected in real time.
"Thank you. ”
Ye Fan glanced at the people in the courtyard. Although a large number of these people hope that they will not be able to come back. But Ye Fan still bowed to them.
After straightening up, Ye Fan pointed to Ah Ghost and the bearded man and said to Qi Chaoqun: "Helper, please arrange it for the two of them." ”
"Alright. You go first. Leave that to me. Qi Chaoqun patted Ye Fan and signaled him to rest assured.
"When I part, there is always a pair of eyes that disappear at the end of the mountain, keeping my affection for me. When I came back, I also had a pair of eyes that sank the blue sky into my dreams......"
Regaining his freedom and returning to a familiar environment, Ye Fan was in a really good mood. When I took a bath, I was still humming an unknown song from my previous life.
After washing, I changed into clean clothes. Looking at himself in the mirror, Ye Fan himself felt that his current self was different from before.
Stared at myself in the mirror and was stunned for a while. Ye Fan picked up the comb again and messed up his hair a little more, a little more. It wasn't until I had that beggar feeling that I put down the comb and went out.
"Helper, what's going on?"
As soon as Ye Fan went out, he saw Qi Chaoqun waiting there. From the worried look on his face, it seemed that something was wrong.
Hearing the question, Qi Chaoqun turned his head, looked at the rejuvenated and energetic Ye Fan, and said, "The chief butler of the Sun Mansion is here." He said, "I'm looking for you." ”
"Sun Fu, are you talking about Sun Wenkai of the Ordnance General Office?" Ye Fan's first thought was Sun Tiantian's father.
Of course. In the entire Xuanjiang capital, there are also many large families with the surname Sun. But it can be called Sun Mansion by Qi Chaoqun, and it is estimated that this is the only one that Mr. Sun will do.
Seeing Qi Chaoqun nodding, Ye Fan smiled and comforted: "It shouldn't be a big deal." Don't worry, I'll take a look. ”
Ye Fan and Qi Chaoqun walked out of the room one after the other. Before he stepped out of the door, Ye Fan saw Uncle Wang standing in the courtyard.
When Ye Fan saw Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang also saw him.
Without waiting for Ye Fan to step forward, Uncle Wang walked over quickly. said to Ye Fan sincerely: "Mr. Ye, please come with me." ”
"Who are you? If you let me go with you, I'll go with you!"
Without waiting for Ye Fan to answer, the bearded man and Ah Ghost jumped out of nowhere and blocked Ye Fan's face.
Seeing this scene, the disciples of the beggar gang couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Of course. It was not only those beggar disciples who were surprised, but also Uncle Wang who came to invite people.
Because, after his own lady was injured, he investigated Ye Fan. The results showed that this kid was extremely withdrawn and had no friends all the time. Since he appeared in Xuanjiang, he has always been accompanied by Qi Chaoqun's baby daughter.
This unlucky boy was put in prison by someone else. But people came out in less than two months. Not only that, but he actually brought back two bodyguards?
How can this scene not surprise people!
Ye Fan didn't care about everyone's reaction, patted Ah Ghost and the beard, and said to Uncle Wang, "Okay." I'll go with you. ”
The fact that the Sun Mansion was able to send the chief butler to invite people in person was enough to prove that they had something to ask for. Besides, this Uncle Wang's attitude towards himself is also very polite. Therefore, Ye Fan doesn't think it's a bad thing.
"Xiaofan, you ......" has a lesson from the past. Qi Chaoqun no longer dared to let Ye Fan take risks easily.
"Rest assured. I'll be fine. Ye Fan smiled at Qi Chaoqun, turned to Uncle Wang and said, "Let's go." ”
"Good. You please. Wang Bo nodded and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was not polite, and walked out as soon as he took a step. Ah Gui and the bearded man also followed. Seeing this scene, Qi Chaoqun was a lot relieved.
Ye Fan, who walked out of the temple gate, suddenly stopped. He turned to the two people behind him and said, "You two, don't go." ”
Without waiting for the two to talk, Uncle Wang smiled and waved his hand: "It's not in the way." Let them follow. After all, they are also loyal. As both servants, Uncle Wang admired the behavior of these two people.
