Chapter 27: Plum Brewed Sake
When the bell rang in the middle of the night to the passenger ship, there was no bell and no passenger ship, but a 'crackling' sound sounded overhead, and they chased each other on the thatch. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Shen Tao thought for a while, "It's not good." He lifted the quilt, took his coat and rushed out of the house.
The ghost weather of these nine cold days, like a child's face, moody, day and night are the two extremes, and even the weather is very different.
Looking at the hailstones the size of iron bullets, Shen Tao leaned on the door frame with his left hand, and stroked his forehead with his right hand, "You thief." ā
His gaze swept around, what could he do, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and then seemed to have made up his mind, "I'll go, fight." ā
Shen Tao paced around the house, ignoring the hail hitting his body, and after a while, he carried a few buckets and ran to the herb garden, which was not a fool's errand to add fuel to the fire, but was used to turn the bucket upside down on the herbs.
He gave a satisfied look, "Oops." It is indeed very bad, because with just a few wooden barrels, it is conceivable that other herbs cannot be preserved.
"Brother. ā
"Senior brother. ā
With such a big movement, how could Shen Dong, Long Yanran and Lin Zixu not feel it, and they also walked out of the house.
It's just that when they (they) appeared, I saw Shen Tao bowing his back, lying on all fours, and under him, there were a few herbs with scattered leaf petals and broken branches.
Shen Tao raised his head with bared teeth, "Help me find tools quickly, otherwise these herbs without shelter will die." ā
Shen Dong walked over directly, and also put on the same posture as Shen Tao, like a little kitten bowing down, about to release the thunderous rage, not to mention, Shen Tao was silent about the hail rolling and falling on his back from beginning to end, which made Shen Dong think that it was not so painful.
When the two turned their heads sideways, they found that Long Yanran and Lin Zixu had long since disappeared, if someone else was present, in the face of the two women's 'escape', I am afraid they couldn't help but scold, but the two brothers did not react.
I saw that the time for a few teas had passed, and I hadn't seen the two women yet.
Shen Tao couldn't help sighing, he originally thought that as long as the rhizome was rooted in the ground, even if the leaves, petals, and branches were broken and clean, he could still survive, but looking at the trend of this hail, it was obvious that he was going to 'kill them all', and the egg-sized hailstone in front of his left hand, if it fell on his body, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
It was also fortunate that Long Yanran and Lin Zixu came back at this time, the two of them carried a big bamboo raft, inserted two short and two long bamboos towards both sides of the herb garden, and then aimed the four holes in the bamboo raft to fix the bamboo, the most obvious feeling was naturally Shen Tao and Shen Dong, there was a more dull sound in their ears, but the shadow of hail was no longer visible around their bodies.
A figure quietly watched the scene here in a corner, with a colorful expression, and finally a light smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his whole body shook and disappeared here.
"It's still comfortable for you kid, the old man is going to accompany you here. Qu Yanli sat on a tree branch, and under him was a wooden plank, and under the board was the Xuandao Feng.
"Senior sister, it's good that you came in time, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by that old man tomorrow. The four of them stood under the eaves and watched the hail outside become less and less, and then breathed a sigh of relief, if the egg-sized hailstones continued to fall for half an hour, then the bamboo raft would definitely not be able to hold up.
"By the way, there is such a big movement outside, why don't you see Qu Lao?" Lin Zixu looked around with his eyes, but there was no figure of Qu Yanli at all.
"That old man must be asleep, with us here, why should he come out stupidly again. Shen Tao rubbed his nose disappreciably.
"Ah, who is scolding the old man, it must be that little ghost again. Qu Yanli here categorically affirmed, and then solemnly said, "Although that little ghost is slippery and clever, his heart is not bad. After saying that, he leaned back to the tree and began to take a nap.
"Elder Qu should have gone to Senior Brother Daofeng. The girl's mind is delicate, as soon as Long Yanran finished speaking, Lin Zixu looked at her, and it was obvious that the two wanted to go together.
"The old man..."
"Still called the old man?"
Facing his junior brother and brother, Shen Tao could only be honest, "But don't say it, this old... Qu Lao is really an unpredictable prophet, and he is clever. ā
"He's supposed to figure it out. ā
"With such ability, but willing to succumb to the mountains, forests and countryside, this open-mindedness is really admirable. ā
Long Yanran and Shen Dong had come into contact with Qu Yanli's collection of books, so they knew that he had a wide range of knowledge, what he learned was extremely complicated, and his strength was very profound.
"Why don't I go to apprenticeship, study hard, and then betray?" Shen Tao put his left hand on his waist, and pinched his lower lip with his right hand.
"Senior brother, you won't forget the rules of the Guigu Sect, right? If a Guigu disciple enters another sect, once discovered, the rest of the Guigu Sect's disciples can kill with all their strength and clear the portal. Lin Zixu stared at Shen Tao and said word by word.
The latter hurriedly reached out and touched his neck, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Senior sister, you are good at everything, but you are too serious." ā
"Okay, don't make a fuss, now that the hail has stopped, everyone will disperse. "In a few hours, the sky will be bright, Shen Dong meant, I hope everyone will go back and rest.
"Go ahead, I'll stay and watch. Shen Tao said and walked to the side and sat down against the wooden wall of the thatched house.
"Senior brother, the sky is about to dawn, the hail has stopped, and you are also very tired from running around for the past few days. Long Yanran's meaning between the lines couldn't be clearer.
"Go ahead, I don't want the old man to say I have a beginning and an end. Shen Tao sat in the corner, holding his hands in his arms.
"Let's go. Shen Dong greeted him, and the three of them left.
At dawn the next day, Qu Yanli fell to the ground, like an old man coming out of a painting, "It's time to go and see those little ghosts." ā
As he spoke, he walked a few steps, "Huh?" The probe looked at Xuan Daofeng and stopped, "No wonder that old guy sent you here after a while, you are really similar to him when he was young." After speaking, he shook his hand and walked away.
If Long Yanran and a few people were present, they would definitely refute Qu Yanli's words, this Xuandao style is not at all like breaking the array, in fact, Qu Yanli is not talking about appearance, but God.
When Qu Yanli walked across the bamboo bridge and came to the thatched house, Shen Tao was still sitting and talking with Zhou Gong, the former smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he still said viciously, "You kid made a mess of my herb garden, and you still have the heart to sleep." ā
"You old man, you're so unreasonable, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid your entire garden of herbs would have died long ago. Shen Tao opened his eyes and jumped up.
"Old Qu, you can't blame Senior Brother for this, it's hail. There was such a big movement outside, Long Yanran and the three of them heard it clearly, and Lin Zixu spoke submissively.
"Qu Lao, my brother really tried his best. ā
"Qu Lao Mingjian. ā
"You four little ghosts, hurry up and take care of my herb garden today, and have you copied all the books that you want to copy?" Qu Yanli first looked at the four of them, and then looked at Long Yanran and Shen Dong.
"Alright. ā
"Alright. ā
The two of them spoke respectfully, without the slightest anger or complaint, Qu Yanli saw it clearly, and said yes in his heart.
"Tomorrow morning, all five of you will fuck off the old man. ā
"Ah, old man, what do you mean?"
"Qu Lao. ā
Shen Tao and Long Yanran obviously didn't realize that this Qu Yanli would be so angry early in the morning, and they would drive the five people away.
"What do you mean by asking the old man? This is my house, and I have the final say. Qu Yanli's momentum changed from his body, and he had the meaning that I was in charge of my territory, and finally flicked his sleeves and left.
On this day, the mood of the four people was a little low, and Qu Yanli appeared in the morning and never came out again, even lunch and dinner did not come out to eat, Lin Zixu went to invite him several times, and he was unmoved.
The four of them completed the work that Qu Yanli explained, and found the muddy Xuandao Feng back, and gave him a bath all over his body, although he still didn't wake up, but Shen Tao saw it and said that it was fine, as for why he hadn't woken up yet, it might be a few more days.
After packing up all the things and things, the four of them stayed for another night, and closed the door early the next morning and left.
Just a few steps away, I saw Qu Yanli sitting on the edge of the bamboo bridge, with a stove next to him cooking something, this smell was clearly the aroma of wine.
"Could it be that this old man is going to invite us to drink. Shen Tao muttered softly, but Shen Dong pulled his sleeves, and he gave up.
The four of them came to Qu Yanli's side, bowed down and saluted, "Thank you, senior." The latter just waved his hand, and the four of them glanced at it, and they were not pretentious, and left.
Everyone will meet some people in their lives, whether they are good or scum, they will teach us something, whether they are together for a long time or a short time, we have a place in our hearts to reserve for them, which is worth a thousand words.
After a long time, "Qingmei boiled wine and talked about mulberry hemp, the wine in the old man's cup has been warm for a long time, Your Excellency, don't you still show up?"
