Chapter 33: The Banquet

On the east shore of Weiming Lake, people who came to participate in the festival watched the flower boats disappear from sight. It hasn't appeared for a long time, and they all lamented and left.

"Alas, I gave my life for nothing, and now it is estimated that Uncle Xu's family will suffer!"

"I've said that the fish monster is not so easy to deal with, and if you annoy that monster, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat!Alas~"

Listening, the words of the people next to him, the beautiful eyes of the falling flame rubies suddenly flashed with crystal tears, and the cheeks that were usually red and lovely were also slightly pale and weak.

Looking at the lake anxiously, Uncle Xu couldn't help but step forward and comfort: "Miss Falling Flame, don't worry, the Nine Yan Sons will be fine, don't listen to their nonsense!

"Well, I believe in Senior Brother, he will definitely come back, he promised me to take care of me for the rest of my life!" As if after saying this, Luo Yan regained hope, and his eyes were full of tenacious tenderness.

"Look, look! The boat is back!" suddenly someone on the shore shouted in surprise.

"It's Senior Brother Jiuyan, Senior Brother, he's fine, I know he won't leave me!" Luo Yan cried with joy, and the pretty face of the pear blossom with rain was full of smiles at the moment.

"Well, the little boy Jiren has his own natural appearance! God bless!" Uncle Xu folded his hands and raised his head to bow to the sky, his sunken eye sockets choked with cloudy tears.

"I heard that the little boy who Uncle Xu invited to catch the fish monster came back unharmed, and he also injured the fish monster!"

"Is that really the case?"

"Isn't it! Isn't this the village chief Hou Wenjie personally taking someone to the entrance of the village to greet him!"

"Let's go, let's see!"

......

When the village chief Hou Wenjie slowly approached the group of people who were returning from the meeting, he saw the beautiful and lovely Luo Yan at first sight! His eyes were full of blazing heat, and although he was over fifty years old, he still couldn't hide his greedy inferiority. Needless to say, next to Uncle Xu is the boy who defeated the fish monster.

"Oh, the little boy is really a hero!" I saw that the old man Wuxun, who was the same age as Uncle Xu, smiled with his hands.

It is said that this old man, wearing a scarf and holding a feather fan, has a black face like a knife, high cheekbones, and an impenetrable black eyeball. It gives a hateful face that is well versed in the world.

"Oh, Gongzi Jiuyan, let me introduce to you, this is Master Hou Wenjie, the village chief of our small fishing village!" Seeing the doubt in Qin Jiuyan's eyes, Uncle Xu hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully introduced.

"Oh, it turned out to be the village chief, where is it, the kid is just lucky!" Although the village chief's face looked disgusting, Qin Jiuyan still replied humbly in courtesy.

"Alas, where is it, the little boy is too modest!" Hou Wenjie glanced at Luo Yan, and pretended to sneer, "Please go to the village with me, the old man has prepared a little thin wine, come to reward the little boy's great kindness!"

"Village chief, you're polite, why bother!" Qin Jiuyan shirked.

"The little boy doesn't have to shirk it, come on, please get on the sedan chair!"

Hearing this, two big men of five big and three thick men suddenly strode forward carrying an open-air bamboo chair.

Helplessly, Qin Jiuyan glanced at Luo Yan and gave him an inquiring look, only to see Luo Yan nodding slightly. Then Qin Jiuyan helped Luo Yan to get on the coquettish son together.

The village chief's mansion is more imposing, with tall courtyard walls, exquisite mahogany furniture, and antique calligraphy and painting furnishings, compared with the three simple tiled houses of ordinary people in the village.

In the evening, the village chief Hou Wenjie ordered people to kill pigs and sheep, buy wine and vegetables to prepare for a wine banquet. He also invited famous people from several nearby villages to come and celebrate together.

During the banquet, the lights were bright, and it was not lively to push the cups and change the lamps.

However, at this moment, a pair of eyes were bursting with jealous anger, because these eyes saw that in a corner of the banquet hall, a beautiful girl in a red dress was actually with a mediocre-looking young man.

"This must be the young hero Jiuyan Gongzi, right?" I saw a man with a face like a crown of jade, a melon seed face, a pair of blue crystal peach blossom eyes, and an age of about sixteen or seventeen, said with a smile.

"Your Excellency is overrated, may I ask who this son is?" At this time, Qin Jiuyan, who was chatting energetically with Luo Yan sipping wine and eating delicious fruits, was suddenly interrupted and asked a little unpleasantly.

"Oh, my surname is Guo Dan, and my name is Yin! The village chief Hou Wenjie is my uncle!" as if sensing Qin Jiuyan's displeasure, Guo Yin pretended to explain humbly.

"Oh, it turned out to be Guo Gongzi, fortunately, I will be lucky!" returned the salute, Qin Jiuyan said perfunctorily.

"Who is this beautiful girl in red?" Guo Yin said stunned looking at her beautiful eyes like falling flames.

"Guo Gongzi, this is my junior sister!" Looking at Guo Yin's peach blossom eyes narrowed into a slit, Qin Jiuyan said indifferently in disgust.

"Oh, it turned out to be the younger sister of Brother Tai! The girl is polite!" With a roll of his eyes, Guo Yin looked at the bewitching eyes of the Falling Flame Ruby, and said with a faint smile, "It's rare to get together tonight, the beautiful scenery of the good day, the wine and the beauty, can you invite the Falling Flame Girl to dance?"

"I'm really sorry Guo Gongzi, I can't dance!" Hearing this, Luo Yan's face was slightly angry and he flatly refused. Luo Yan didn't expect that this Guo Yin would be so brazen that in her heart, except for Qin Jiuyan, she never took other handsome men to heart.

"This is not easy, I'll teach you, it's easy!" After being ruthlessly rejected by Luo Yan, Guo Yin did not give up and tried again.

"No need!" Luo Yan's face suddenly turned gloomy and displeased.

Guo Yin's face was embarrassed, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Jiuyan.

"Guo Gongzi, my junior sister has said that you don't need to, you better stop being bored! Please find another dance partner!" Qin Jiuyan looked at Guo Yin's distorted and embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but smile playfully.

"Hmph! you!" Guo Yin blushed and walked away.

After Guo Yin left, Luo Yan still chatted with Qin Jiuyan affectionately like no one.

"What's the matter, nephew, you also have a time when you are deflated! haha!" Witnessing the scene just now, the village chief Hou Wenjie sneered.

"Uncle, are you here to squeeze me too?" frowning, Guo Yin looked in the direction of Qin Jiuyan, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "Okay, there is a personality! However, Young Master Ben just likes this kind of fierce woman!"

"Why Guo Yin's nephew, do you want to do it?" Hou Wenjie glanced at Guo Yin's longing eyes, and said with a wicked smile, "But Qin Jiuyan next to that little girl is a tricky boy!"

Hou Wenjie stroked his beard and said indignantly: "I wanted to keep that mermaid in the lake and catch some oil and water every year, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by this kid!

"Uncle, don't worry, it's not difficult to kill this kid, just leave it to my subordinates to solve it!" Guo Yin's cold eyes glanced at Qin Jiuyan and said.
