Chapter 6 Ningfu
Ningfu, nestled deep in the dense forests of the Jiufeng Mountains, is a gentle hillside inlaid with pink buckwheat fields, paved with turquoise barley fields on the roadside, and a log fence leads down the winding dirt road to the primeval forest in the distance.
Tibetan-style stilted buildings are scattered on the roadside, and in the pale blue smoke of boiling milk tea, cows and sheep disappear from time to time...... The whole atmosphere has a medieval vernacular feel.
Overlooking Jiufeng Mountain from Ningfu, you can see the green mountains, the lush trees and the blue sky, and a few wisps of clouds just form an elegant and interesting light ink landscape painting.
Ningfu is magnificent, with agate glazed tiles, soaked in golden splendor. The towering pavilion is reflected in the lake, lingering with misty waves and clouds, with a majestic momentum that runs through the blue sky.
The golden cast wall, under the wall painting whitewash of hand-painted landscape paintings, looks antique, simple and heavy, giving people an incomparable sense of shock.
In front of the gate, two twin maids with their hair tied were standing obediently. In front of her stood a weeping woman holding a small baby who was drooling.
Zhao Mengxi walked straight forward, the two twin maids bowed in unison, and said coquettishly, "Master has been waiting for a long time", and then slowly pushed open the thick door made of purple sycamore, and made a gesture of please respectfully.
Zhao Yuxi didn't go in, but looked at the old woman suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong with this old man?" The two maids said in unison: "Her son has cerebral palsy, and she came to ask the mansion master for treatment, but she couldn't pay the corresponding payment, and the mansion owner didn't take care of it." ”
Zhao Mengxi frowned slightly, she remembered that Ning Guchen had often volunteered to treat some poor people when he was a teenager. Now that he has gained power, he has become mercenary.
Just as Zhao Mengxi wanted to say something to appease the old woman, Lin Yetian next to him suddenly said: "Okay, you can go." Lin Yetian's words made the old woman stunned.
Zhao Yuxi was angry, and looked at Lin Yetian angrily: "Aren't you good at curing diseases, why don't you help others and drive people away?"
"It's been cured," Lin Yetian's face was full of grievances.
Only then did the old woman realize that the baby in her arms was no longer drooling or screaming, but staring at her mother with big bright eyes. Zhao Yuxi beside her was also stunned, she didn't even see when Lin Yetian made a move. The old woman suddenly burst into tears, she didn't know how many folk doctors she had found and had not cured the disease, and she was suddenly cured by a teenager, and she didn't even see how to do it!
The old woman burst into tears and bowed to Lin Yetian: "The old man is old and has a son, but he was born with such a strange disease. Visiting relatives and friends, borrowing money everywhere, selling the ancestral house, throwing it away, can't cure the ......," said the old woman, unable to cry anymore.
Zhao Mengxi Zhao Yuxi hurriedly went up to help the old woman: "The old man hurry up, I can't help it." After the old woman cried and was helped up, Zhao Mengxi then comforted: "Old man, live a good life after going back, if it is difficult to make a living, go to the nearby Zhao industry to find a job and live a good life." After speaking, he instructed Fu Bo to hand the old woman a delicate token with the word "Zhao" engraved on it.
Then he said: "Take this order to go to the Zhao family's property to make a living, if someone asks about the calendar, it will be said that it was given by Zhao Mengxi, the eldest lady of the Zhao family." The old man who had already gotten up heard that it was the eldest lady of the Zhao family who was here, and he planned to bow his head and bow down, so after persuading him to live and stay, he finally held back his tears and walked down the mountain.
Lin Yetian asked suspiciously, "Is your Zhao family really that powerful?"
Zhao Yuxi rolled her eyes, and didn't bother to explain to this guy of unknown origin, but said to Lin Yetian in disbelief: "You will know about stupid pigs in the future." Anyway, how did you heal the disease just now, even I didn't see you make a move. ”
Lin Yetian rolled his eyes according to the gourd painting scoop, and said conceitedly: "You will know later." "Hmph!" Zhao Yuxi snorted noncommittally.
After sending the old woman away, Zhao Mengxi and the others took a step, passed the twins who were still smiling, and went straight into the courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a huge ancient sword, and what catches the eye is a high-rise building made of the sun and moon sacred wood, and there are many fragrances that exude a pleasant fragrance in an antique manner, as if people have stepped into a magnificent world of mountains and rivers.
But Zhao Mengxi couldn't help frowning, if she remembered correctly, although Doctor Ning had a lot of money, he was a simple person, and the place where he lived before was far less luxurious and atmospheric.
Moreover, there was an indescribable supernatural aura in the Ning Mansion, as if something was hiding here. But soon she shook her head, the red flame attribute of Jiufeng Mountain, it was difficult for evil to survive here, and Divine Doctor Ning himself was also a generation master, let alone build a golden and brilliant high-rise building in the depths.
Maybe it's because I just experienced the ambush incident, and my mind is a little nervous. Zhao Mengxi comforted herself like this.
Walking and walking, Zhao Mengxi's delicate body trembled, and the inexplicable extreme cold stubborn disease flared up again, like the cold air of ten thousand ants eroding her bones, beads of sweat continued to drip from her forehead, and the temperature of her body dropped to the lowest value.
At this time, she realized that there seemed to be one less person beside her, and she was shocked, and suddenly turned her head and was about to speak, only to find that Lin Yetian was still staying outside the door and did not move a step.
She quickly walked back to the gate to Lin Yetian's side, and sure enough, the cold just now quickly subsided like a tide, breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended to look into the distance inadvertently, and asked in a low voice, "Childe, is there anything strange inside?"
Lin Yetian scratched his head: "No, it's mainly because I'm tired of walking and resting my feet." ”
Zhao Mengxi was stunned.
"Anyway, that Ning Guchen, is he anemic?" Lin Yetian looked at Ning Mansion not far away, and said thoughtfully.
"Huh?" Zhao Mengxi quickly flashed a trace of indescribable vigilance.
"Sister, stinky pig, come in, what are you still doing?" Just when Zhao Mengxi was about to say something, the voice of the second miss came from not far away, and when she turned her head, the second miss waved her hand and greeted them happily.
"Here comes the old girl!" Lin Yetian, who was hungry, still looked thoughtful, and trotted into the gate.
Zhao Mengxi smiled bitterly, although she noticed that something was wrong, she didn't particularly care. Even if there is anything, their Zhao family is not powerless to fight back. What's more, the biggest hole card is still around. Zhao Mengxi, who was afraid of the extreme cold again, also hurriedly followed in.
At this time, outside the gate, in the darkness under the originally red and cracked soil, bloodshot and dry eyes were revealed, staring dead in the direction Lin Yetian left......
Entering the hall, a fat man wearing gold and silver and a slightly vulgar belly sat on the main chair, and when he saw Zhao Yuxi and others coming, he hurriedly stood up, with a smile on his face, and said hello with a shiny face, "Xiaoyu Xiaomeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, I missed it very much last time." ”
When Zhao Mengxi saw the person in front of her, she couldn't help but froze for a moment, although her appearance had changed quite a lot, but this aura unique to her body turned out to be Ning Guchen herself! Originally, in her inference, Ning Guchen should have been kidnapped or disappeared by someone.
She had felt Ning Guchen's aura when she was a child, and even if the appearance of the replacement person was the same as herself, she could tell whether it was the real Ning Guchen or not. I didn't expect that now the aura is exactly the same, but the original Ning Shen Doctor who was full of fairy wind bones has become a pot-bellied market businessman. Should we say that the so-called years are unforgiving, or is there some other unknown reason in it?
"Sister, why did you suddenly get stunned?" Zhao Yuxi, who was beside him, gently poked the pensive Zhao Mengxi with his elbow, and the eldest lady reacted.
The corners of her mouth were raised, and she greeted Ning Guchen without being humble or arrogant, "Uncle Ning, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the little girl misses you very much, thanks to you for saving the Zhao family from fire and water, the Zhao family has not decayed." ”
Ning Guchen laughed heartily, "How can there be, the contemptible people are only doing their meager efforts, the rebirth of the Zhao family still depends on the Zhao family's own actions, the eldest lady is too much"
Zhao Mengxi didn't continue to respond, just smiled gratefully. Visiting relatives and friends, this kind of polite words have to be said, but it doesn't have to be said like a river, which seems hypocritical. "The voice is the same, the look is the same, and even the terms and titles are the same" Zhao Mengxi thought to himself, the person in front of him was indeed Ning Guchen, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Just as the two were talking, they saw an old servant of the Ning family dressed in rags respectfully holding a table of tea and placing it on the main table of the auxiliary hall with a slight trembling expression. Perhaps it was because the tea was too heavy, even though the cautious old servant still spilled some tea.
Ning Guchen, who was originally smiling, rose up, kicked at the old servant, kicked the old servant, who was already half a hundred years old, to the ground, and vomited blood. He scolded: "Waste! I can't even hold a cup of tea." The old servant ignored the blood in his mouth, and fell to his knees with a rolling belt, constantly kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.
"Get down" Ning Guchen snorted coldly, and the old servant quickly rolled his body into a ball as if he was relieved, and really rolled down. The rest of the Ning Mansion was not surprised, and they didn't stop what they were doing at all or show a trace of fear. The Zhao family and his party were surprised when they saw this scene, but Zhao Mengxi didn't say anything.
"Uncle Ning, we are here to disturb you today to thank you for your great kindness, and secondly, to ask for your sin. You have been a matchmaker a few years ago..."Zhao Mengxi is worthy of being a candidate for the next generation of family heads, and his words are not leaking.
"I already know about this matter, the eldest lady is serious, let them decide the matter of this young man. There was no unexpected dispute, Ning Guchen quickly accepted the Zhao family's apology, as if nothing had happened just now, and then said, "Seeing that you are tired, can you stay in the cold house for a few days?"
Before Zhao Mengxi could answer, Lin Yetian was hungry and hurriedly answered: "Wow, wow, wow!"
"Oh? This virtuous nephew doesn't look like a person from the Zhao family? Or is it a descendant of the new generation who came out to practice?" I don't know when, Ning Guchen, who was still talking to Zhao Mengxi just now, had quietly bypassed everyone and walked in front of Lin Yetian, staring at Lin Yetian with a happy face.
Uncle Ning smiled, he is indeed the younger generation of the Zhao family, and he came out this time just to hone his talent and temperament, and we as sisters naturally have to protect him. ”
Without waiting for Lin Yetian to speak, Zhao Mengxi also walked to Lin Yetian's side and said first. On the other side, Zhao Yuxi was puzzled and wanted to ask, but saw Fu Bo beside him secretly waving his hand, although he was puzzled, he didn't make a sound.
Zhao Mengxi was secretly relieved to see that her sister didn't speak. But she seemed to have forgotten the existence of the man behind her.
"I thank you. Lin Yetian also stared at Ning Guchen, and suddenly shouted loudly.
All the people looked at him.
"Aha, what am I saying, I thank you for saving the Zhao family from fire and water before, and thank you for entertaining us today. The grace of a drop of water must be reciprocated by a spring, and then it will be reciprocated with a peach! Lin Yetian complained gratefully with his watery eyes wide.
"Oh yes" Ning Guchen nodded with a smile, and then smiled heartily, "Haha, the virtuous nephew seems to be very good at speaking, and the contemptible person should also thank the virtuous nephew for coming to the cold house, the small temple is really full of brilliance."
After speaking, he smiled and waved his hand, and ordered his attendants to entertain the guests, and he also set off to return to the wing. It's just that the voice of the young man in white just now still reached Ning Guchen's ears from a distance: "I thank you, thank me." ”
Ning Guchen walked into the wing room and pushed open the door of his heavy dark wooden room, it was dark inside, and there was nothing to illuminate at all. Then he stepped into the darkness and slowly closed the door behind him, locking it.
A faint wail that was difficult to detect came from the darkness where he could not see his fingers, and then gradually calmed down.
