Chapter 14: Night Rain
A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, and ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes.
It always seems to be rainy in this part of Jinling.
Nian Shengpan sat at the door of a shop, using one of the eaves to escape the sudden night rain.
There was no one on the streets, and even the city guards who were on patrol at night did not want to go out in such weather.
In the prosperous Jinling City during the day, it seems that only Nian Sheng is left at this moment.
Nian Sheng has never been a person who feels lonely, whenever he is alone, he always looks up at the stars in the sky.
But there are no stars tonight.
The lame man has a little maid, Li Han has a family, the scholar has a teacher, and only the monk has nothing.
But the monk has a pretty widow waiting for him to return, although the monk may never go back.
It seemed like a lot of people didn't sleep that night.
Ah Bu was also looking at the rain outside the window, and An Ning was packing up the things that Ah Bu needed on the road.
The queen son accompanied Han Qi to drink.
"Senior brother, you've worked hard for nothing. Hou Gongzi raised his wine glass and saluted.
Han Qi shook his head: "It's not a run for nothing, it was originally for you to enter the officialdom to sell your old face, but now you don't have to sell your face, and the thing has been done, isn't it a beautiful thing?"
Hou Gongzi put down the wine glass and hesitated: "Senior brother, I was just about to send that child to the mountains and seas, why don't you go back and see the old man." ”
Han Qi smiled, and the folds on the old man's face became more obvious: "I won't go back, the older people get, the more stubborn they become." He can't persuade me, and I can't persuade him. It was just another quarrel to go back, and I went back to my little mountain village. Come back when the time comes. ”
The queen son still wanted to persuade again, but Han Qi waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, drink! Don't worry, I will let someone send that child to the academy." ”
Hou Gongzi smiled bitterly: "Okay, then I will have a good drink with my senior brother at the end today." ”
Han Qi sneered, "What's the matter?
"When you enter this Jinling, if you are not careful, you will not recover, and it is better not to drink this wine in the future. Hou Gongzi smiled.
"The step-son who can't be controlled by the saint actually quits drinking by himself, haha!" Han Qi laughed heartily.
"Yes, I've met two people, two very powerful people, so it's better to be sober. Hou Gongzi said seriously.
"Then you should drink enough today, and don't be greedy in the future. Han Qi was even happier.
The queen boy looked angry and poured another sip of wine.
Late at night, Xiangguo Mansion. Li Han meditated on luck, and his face sank like water.
The old man with silver hair stood aside, and judging by his facial features, the old man must have been extremely handsome when he was young.
A few hours later, Li Han opened his eyes and exhaled deeply, and his whole person looked even weaker.
After a few gasps, Li Han lowered his head and said, "Father, I'm defeated." ”
The old man didn't care: "It's not normal to be defeated, the disciple trained by the sage, if you can win, it's strange, there is still a long way to go." With that, he turned and left.
Looking at the old man's back, Li Han asked again, "Father, why did the lame man want to kill you?"
The old man didn't stop, and said lightly as he walked: "Naturally, there is a grudge." ”
"What kind of hatred?" Li Han asked.
"I killed his father. After saying that, the figure disappeared.
Li Han was obviously shocked by this sentence.
Niansheng stood up, the rain had already stopped, and the sky was gradually brightening.
There are early morning stalls set up.
Nian Sheng walked over and sat down and asked for a few vegetarian buns and a bowl of porridge.
The shopkeeper greeted Nian Sheng very warmly: "Which temple is the little master calling from?"
Nian Sheng took a sip of porridge: "I'm from Pingqu Village." ”
"Pingqu Village, haven't you heard of it?" said the shopkeeper.
"Well, a small mountain village far away, small but beautiful. Nian Sheng replied.
The shopkeeper said, "I'm also from a small place, I've been here for many years, and our place is beautiful." ”
The store babbled a lot.
However, Niansheng didn't want to hear it at all, so he quickly left a few pennies after eating.
Nian Sheng only likes a small place.
Ah Bu sat in Han Qi's sedan chair, and Han Qi was still drunk and did not wake up.
Ah Bu lifted the curtains and looked at the city he was leaving.
Look at the attic in the distance, look at the stalls in the entrance, look at the people in the city.
There is also a dusty monk who walks down the street as if he were walking in another world.
