Chapter Eighty-Six: Five Ridges and Six Beasts
Xu Mu, who was extremely tired, couldn't even open his eyes, and naturally he didn't see that on the left side of Feng Yuan's β‘β‘chest, a palm-sized red birthmark appeared, with longitudinal lines and dense fish scales, like some ancient and mysterious imprint.
The next day, when Xu Mu opened his eyes, it was close to noon, and the warm sunlight passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, sprinkled on the quilt corners and floors, and the room was warm.
The courier brother's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he stretched his arms comfortably with sleepy eyes.
Wang Letian slammed the door outside the door, "Feng Yuan, don't sleep, get up and go fishing." β
Oops, he's not going to rush in, is he?
Hearing the sound outside the door, Xu Mu sat up from the bed and looked out of the door in panic. The white silk quilt slipped from him, revealing the pale honey-colored skin around his waist.
A warm and powerful arm stretched out from behind his back and affectionately hugged him into his arms, "Sleepy and sleep, don't pay attention to him." β
Xu Mu: ..................
With that posture outside, who can sleep!
Besides, there are two foxes, one big and one small, outside, and I always feel that they will be "caught/raped" in bed at any time.
Feng Yuan rubbed his chin against the top of his head, and then gently kissed him on his right ear, "Is there anything uncomfortable?"
The male god's voice was a little hoarse when he had just woken up, low and sexy, and it made the eardrums of the person in his arms throb suddenly.
The courier brother shook his head, and was teased by Feng Yuan's thick hormone-filled breath, and the clip of last night immediately crackled into his mind, and the right side of his face burned "Teng", fiery red.
He jumped out of bed like a rabbit and went straight to the bathroom.
Early in the morning, don't hook up with people with self-control disabilities!
Feng Yuan, who was left on the bed alone, hooked the corners of his lips helplessly, looking at this lively appearance and the speed of the ten-meter sprint, it should be fine, and it was in vain the spiritual power that was specially channeled into him after helping him clean it last night.
"Feng Yuan, wake up, Feng Yuan!" Wang Letian outside the door was still slamming the door unremittingly, and he had a posture of not giving up until he reached his goal.
Feng Yuan sighed, so he had to put on his bathrobe and open the door.
"Why are you still sleeping!" Wang Letian had an expression of "I am in suit", "Hu Nan, Wang Meng, Liang Peng, they are going to play paragliding, Zhao Lu and the ocean are going to go snorkeling, I am going to fish with workaholic and Wu Bing, is Xiao Mu in your room?
Feng Yuan, who was leaning against the door frame, yawned, "Let the hotel keep a speedboat, and we'll get up." β
Wang Letian: ..................
Are you still sleeping? You just paid to sleep on the island?
Sending Wang Dashao away, Feng Yuan went to knock on the door of the bathroom.
"I'm not done yet, you can wait a while. Xu Mu, who was eavesdropping in a daze, jumped up, grabbed a toothbrush cup and a towel, and tried to pretend that "I'm busy".
Feng Yuan's eyes were rippling with a smile, and he didn't dismantle him, "What do you want to eat for brunch?" β
"Whatever. "Anything, just walk away. Xu Mu felt that his face was about to explode.
Considering some special reasons, Feng Yuan still ordered a relatively light Chinese breakfast. There is a bowl of white porridge in the position of the courier brother, and five small maple leaf-shaped dishes are lined up in front of it, with five ingredients such as meat floss, bean curd, seaweed, peanuts, potato chips, etc., and in a large dish next to it, it is a soft-boiled egg drizzled with soy sauce.
Xu Mu had an excellent appetite and swept away almost everything.
Feng Yuan rubbed his head, "Pad your stomach first, I'll take you to eat cheese lobster later, do you want to go out to play in the afternoon or sleep for a while?"
"Go out and play!" Xu Mu said quickly, "You can play paragliding or fishing." "In short, don't stay in the house. When he sees the beauty couch in the room, he can't help but think of some pictures that make people blush and heartbeat.
"Then go paragliding first and then go fishing. Feng Yuan used a fork to put the last piece of omelette into his mouth and made the decision to get the best of both worlds.
Fu Zhu squatted next to the beauty couch, very dissatisfied with the clear and shining cow/milk in the white porcelain plate, and stretched out his paws to scratch the edge of the plate complainingly, meat and meat, this seat wants to eat meat!
It's really hard to be a demon, if you don't give lobster, forget it, why don't you even give meat!
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Wang Lotian and the others prepared a bonfire party for Feng Yuan, and in the starry night sky of the island, a bunch of special fireworks rose into the sky, forming six big characters of "Happy Birthday Feng Yuan".
In the fireworks in the sky, Wang Letian slapped Feng Yuan's shoulder as if he was invited, "How is it, are you moved?"
"Touching the flesh and the earth!" Feng Yuan said in disgust, this was obviously a means of confessing to the girl.
"No, I asked people at the time, and they all said it was an absolute surprise. β
"Did you sue the family to surprise your brother instead of your girlfriend?"
At this time, there happened to be two aunts who were arranged by the hotel to pick up the garbage and stood not far away chatting, "Oh, don't say it, it's really good-looking, people in the city just know how to play." "No, this little girl named Feng must be very beautiful. β
Wang Letian: ..................
Before Xu Mu pushed the big cake over, he magically took out a mini vanilla cupcake from his pocket of his clothes, solemnly held it in his palm and handed it to Feng Yuan, "Happy birthday, make a wish!"
The word happybirthday is written on the cake with chocolate sauce, because the place is too small, and the letters in the second row are densely packed together, which is a little ugly and a little cute.
Feng Yuan hooked the corners of his lips, and lowered his head to bite Xu Mu's hand. The wish is forgiven, he doesn't have many wishes, and the only one has been fulfilled last night.
This time, Liu Haiyang happened to bring his girlfriend over and shared the cake, and with the bonfire on the beach and the jubilant atmosphere, he played the guitar and sang an old song affectionately, "an".
When everyone was immersed in the afterglow of his singing, he suddenly got down on one knee and took out a ring to his girlfriend to propose.
"Marry him, marry him!" The people on the beach began to applaud loudly, Feng Yuan secretly poked his left hand behind his back, and gently held Xu Mu's hand, this is the happiest birthday he has ever had, everyone is very happy, and he got the best birthday gift in the world.
The island holiday life is unforgettable, and in the blink of an eye, the weekend is over.
When they drove home, they happened to pass by Linhu, and because they were not in a hurry, Feng Yuan decided to take Xu Mu to Linhu City and help him mend some of Wen Huazhai's yellow paper by the way.
The quality of Xu Mu's talismans has improved rapidly recently, and the consumption rate of yellow paper is also extremely amazing, Feng Yuan feels that since he is passing by, he might as well buy more and go back, so as to be prepared.
Linhu is actually a county-level city, and the locals are accustomed to calling it Linhu Town. Although the town is small, it has a long history, like Qingping Lane, with a history of more than 1,000 years. Most of the town's population makes a living from paper or paper-related trades.
Located in the east of Linhu Town, Wenhuazhai is a quaint hard mountain-style building that seems to be at least 100 years old. On the tips of the two vertical ridges facing forward of the black living tile roof, there are also four stone beasts standing respectively, with different forms and lifelike. Looking at the past from afar, it is particularly conspicuous in a number of antique buildings.
"That's what people often call five spines and six beasts. Feng Yuan saw that he had been staring at the things on the roof, so he introduced him casually.
"Five ridges and six beasts?" Xu Mu raised his eyes to see, "That's obviously four or eight, right?"
I don't read a lot at all, don't fool me!
"The roof of this kind of hard mountain style building is generally composed of the main ridge in the middle and four vertical ridges on both sides, which is the five ridges. The one in front on the vertical ridges on both sides is not a beast, but a horse immortal. Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, the King of Qi was defeated and chased to the riverside. Later generations took it to ride the phoenix and fly, and put it in front of the roof ridge with the meaning of turning evil into good fortune. The last three, lions, Pegasus, and seahorses are counted as "beasts", and there are six on both sides, so they are called six beasts. "Feng Yuan rubbed his head, your brother studied architecture.
[Hey, it's not easy for this person to recognize a few of us. The Pegasus in the middle opens.
[Be quiet, in broad daylight, don't scare people.] The seahorse in the back admonished.
Xu Mu: ..................
If you don't do a good spine beast, why do you want to be a monster!
Feng Yuan's eyes swept from the corner of the eaves casually, the little monsters in the old house were like weeds growing in the yard, very common, but most of them were low-spirited, and they couldn't even reach the first level.
[What are you scared of, if you want to be scared, you have to be able to hear it to be scared!] The lion at the front said indifferently, [Besides, even if you are scared, you can't be scared a few times.] The last rainstorm made me crooked, and they didn't know how to come up to repair, and if I came again, my brother, I would have to smash it to the ground and say goodbye to you. γ
Xu Mu originally wanted to follow Feng Yuan into the store without squinting, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but look up, and the lion at the front of the roof on the left ridge was really slightly tilted.
There were only five bundles of the finest yellow paper in the store, and Feng Yuan directly slapped the inventory in the store.
Xu Mu's little face was very painful when he paid the bill, and this price was one and a half times more expensive than the one and a half he had bought before. Feng Yuan shook his head helplessly, he wanted to pay the bill, but the little guy had to let him, and he was so distressed that he scratched his liver. I still shouldn't have brought him directly!
After paying the bill, Xu Mu remembered the words of the lion-shaped spine beast, so he tactfully reminded the person who collected the money, "When I entered the door just now, I seemed to see that the lion on the left roof was crooked, when you are free, it is best to send someone to go up and take a look." β
"Crooked?" The man happened to be the shopkeeper, he was stunned, quickly ran to the door to look up, and when he came back, he thanked the courier brother gratefully, this house is an old house, it belongs to a protected building, and if something is really broken, it has to be reported and repaired, and it is not very good to match.
The shopkeeper saw that Xu Mu and they were buying yellow paper for drawing talismans, so he took out a narrow box from under the counter and stuffed it in the middle of the rope that tied the paper, "This black pipe Xiao Zihao belongs to Yangshan Hall, you bought a lot of yellow paper today, and I simply gave you a tie-in, and I thank you for reminding me about the Ridge Cultivator today." Next time, if you come to buy paper again, I will definitely help you get a discount. β
There is a giveaway with a sentence, and you can get a discount in the future?
Xu Mu smiled with crooked eyebrows, and suddenly felt that his ability to listen to gossip and ghost words was still a little beneficial.
Feng Yuan looked at his happy appearance, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, his own pet is so easy to satisfy!
As soon as he stepped out of the door, a text message popped up on Xu Mu's mobile phone, which was sent by the short-haired senior sister of the Demon Hunting Club, [At four o'clock next Friday, please go to the No. 2 ladder classroom of Tonghua Building to participate in club activities, and those who do not attend will be deducted from the subsidy amount this month. γ
Xu Mu put down his things and looked at it, oops, I've been too busy lately, I haven't participated in a single club activity, it seems that I have to go this Friday.
I was about to text back to the short-haired senior sister, Wu Bing transferred an identical text message again, but added a few words at the end, if you don't come again, you will quit the club for me!
Xu Mu: ..................
What about the brotherly love that is good, not so threatening!
When he finished texting back to the two of them, he actually heard the three ridged beasts on the roof chatting about the neighbors' gossip.
[Did the paper spirit on the other side come back last night?] The lion road at the front.
The middle Pegasus yawned, "I don't know, I fell asleep last night. Didn't it get taken away by the Great Demon last time?]
[Don't worry about it, the Lin family's paper spirit is obviously more powerful than us, it's better not to provoke it.] The seahorse in the back said bitterly. They stood on the ridge of the roof, condescending, watching day by day, and no one knew the movement of this street better than them.
[I don't care if it goes to the Lin family, it can't dare to come to the Zheng family. The lion said domineeringly.
Xu Mu looked at the opposite side and saw three big characters hanging on the door plaque, Ronghua Zhai.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Are these spine beasts talking about the wax paper spirit last time?
