114. Outside: Family Banquet
Lan Wangji said to Wei Wuxian, "Wait for me." β
Wei Wuxian said, "Why don't I go in with you?"
Shaking his head, Lan Wangji said, "You go in, he is even more angry." β
Wei Wuxian thought about it, Lan Qiren looked like a candle in the wind when he saw him, and he was panting more than usual, so it was better to teach him to be out of sight and out of mind.
Lan Wangji looked at him, as if he was about to speak, but Wei Wuxian immediately said, "Okay, I know." Don't hurry, don't make noise, don't do anything, don't worry, I will be careful and careful when I come back with you this time, and I will not violate any of the house rules on your family discipline stone. As much as possible. β
Lan Wangji said without thinking: "It's okay. It's ...... to be committed."
Wei Wuxian said keenly, "Huh?"
Lan Wangji seemed to realize that there was something wrong with the words he had just blurted out, and he turned his head for a moment, then turned back and said solemnly: "...... No. β
Wei Wuxian said blankly, "What did you just say you committed a crime?"
Lan Wangji knew that he was asking knowingly, and repeated with a straight face: "You are waiting for me outside." β
Wei Wuxian waved his hand and said, "Wait, wait, it's so fierce." I'm going to play with your bunny. β
So Lan Wangji went alone to greet Lan Qiren's spittle, while Wei Wuxian was dragged by the little apple and ran wildly. Ever since the little apple entered Yunshen nowhere, it seemed to be extremely excited, and it was so energetic that Wei Wuxian couldn't pull it, and pulled it to the lush green grass.
There were more than a hundred fat snowballs quietly in the grass, with pink three-petal mouths pinch by hand, and occasionally shaking long ears, and the ears were pink. Little Apple squeezed between them with her head held high, finding her own place.
Wei Wuxian squatted on the ground, grabbed a rabbit in his hand, and said to himself as he scratched its belly, "Did there be so many of them last time I came? Is this male or female? Oh...... Male. β
Thinking of this, Wei Wuxian realized that he hadn't noticed whether Little Apple was a woman or a bearded eyebrow. So I couldn't help but glance over there. But before he could take a closer look, he suddenly heard the movement and looked back.
A petite girl carrying a small basket was at a loss for a moment, and her face flushed with shame when she saw Wei Wuxian suddenly looking back at her.
This girl was wearing the school uniform of the Gusu Lan clan, and she was also wearing a wipe of her forehead in a dignified manner. Wei Wuxian said in his heart: "This is amazing! let me bump into the living one!"
This is a nuns. A female cultivator of the Gusu Lan clan.
Gusu Lan, a family known for its rigidity, does not need to say that there is a difference between men and women, and that men and women do not kiss each other, and they have been chattering in the ears of their disciples ten thousand times since they were children. The study area and rest area of the male nuns are strictly separated, and they do not go beyond the thunder pool, and rarely run out of their own range. Even when going out for night hunting, men and women are basically separated, either all men or all women, and there is generally no situation where men and women are mixed together, which is so rigid that it is outrageous. Wei Wuxian had basically never seen a girl here when he was studying in Yun Shen's unknown place, and he was deeply skeptical that Yun Shen didn't know whether there was really a zΓ i female cultivator in the place. A few times he seemed to hear the sound of the nuns reading, and he was curious to chase after him, but he was immediately discovered by the sharp-eyed patrol protΓ©gΓ© and called Lan Wangji. After doing this a few times, Wei Wuxian's enthusiasm ran out, and he didn't have the heart to explore anymore.
But now, it was the first time that he had bumped into a living nun in the middle of nowhere. Female!
Wei Wuxian straightened up suddenly, his eyes glowing. Just as he couldn't help but walk over, the little apple was already standing up, almost knocking him away, and rushing to the girl's side.
Wei Wuxian: "?"
When it came to the girl, it bowed its head submissively and took the initiative to send its donkey head and ears under her hands.
Wei Wuxian: "???"
The girl blushed and looked at Wei Wuxian, stunned, not knowing what to say. Wei Wuxian narrowed his eyes, vaguely feeling that she was somewhat familiar. After a moment, he suddenly remembered that this was not the round-faced girl he had just met on the road after coming out of Mojiazhuang and had a hurried encounter in Dafan Mountain?
Even if it was a completely strange woman, he could immediately talk a few words with a hippie smile on his face, not to mention a little girl who had several encounters and had a good personality?
The girl was obviously impressed by him too, whether it was clean or not. Twisting and pinching for a while, twisting his hands carrying the basket, he said in a muffled voice: "It's my ......"
Wei Wuxian threw away the rabbit that he had touched to determine his gender, took two steps closer to her with his hands in his hands, caught a glimpse of the carrots and greens in her basket, and smiled, "Come feed the rabbits?"
The girl nodded. It just so happened that Lan Wangji was not here now, Wei Wuxian had nothing to do, so he became interested and said, "Do you want me to help?"
The girl didn't know what to do, so she finally nodded, and Wei Wuxian took a radish out, and the two of them squatted down on the grass together. Little Apple put her head into the basket and rummaged through it, but when she didn't find the apple, she reluctantly took a carrot out and nibbled on it.
The carrots in the basket were so fresh that Wei Wuxian himself took a bite of them before bringing them to the rabbit's mouth and asked, "These rabbits have been feeding you?"
The girl said, "No...... I only came to feed it recently...... When Hanguang-kun was there, he was taken care of by Hanguang-kun. If he's not there, it's Lan Si chasing the son and they are taking care of it, if they're not there, then we'll help take a look......"
Wei Wuxian said in his heart, "How does Lan Zhan feed the rabbits? How old did he start raising them? Did he also come here with a small basket?"
Dispelling some overly cute images from his mind, Wei Wuxian asked again, "Are you now a protΓ©gΓ© of the Gusu Lan clan?"
The girl said shyly, "Yes." β
Wei Wuxian said, "The Gusu Lan clan is very good. When?"
The girl touched the white fluffy rabbit and said, "Shortly after that time in Dafanshan......
Just then, both of them heard the faint sound of boots stepping on the green grass. Wei Wuxian looked back, and sure enough, Lan Wangji was walking towards him.
The girl was in a hurry for a while, and immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, "Hanguang-kun." β
Lan Wangji nodded slightly, but Wei Wuxian was still sitting on the grass, looking at him with a smile. The girl seemed to be afraid of Lan Wangji - it was normal, there was no junior at this age who was not afraid of Lan Wangji, and she lifted her skirt in a panic and ran. Wei Wuxian shouted several times from behind: "Girl, little sister, your basket! Hey, little apple! little apple is back! what are you running with! little apple!"
No one or donkey was stopped by him, so Wei Wuxian had to flick the few radishes left in the basket and said to Lan Wangji, "Lan Zhan, you scared her away." β
If Lan Wangji didn't want to be heard, how could he let both of them hear it?
Wei Wuxian grinned and handed him a carrot and said, "Do you want to eat it?" β
"......" Lan Wangji looked down at him condescendingly and said, "Get up." β
Wei Wuxian threw the carrot back, lazily stretched out a hand, and said, "You pull me." β
After a moment's pause, Lan Wangji reached out to pull him, but Wei Wuxian suddenly used force in his hand and dragged him down.
The territory was occupied by strange people, and a group of rabbits ran aimlessly around the two men stacked on the ground as if they were facing a great enemy. The few people who were particularly familiar with Lan Wangji actually stood up and lay on him, as if they were worried about why their master would suddenly fall. Lan Wangji gently drove them away, and said calmly: "Yun Shen doesn't know where to go, discipline the seventh article of the Shi family motto, don't disturb the female cultivator." β
Wei Wuxian said, "You said that if I offended, it would be fine. β
Lan Wangji said: "I don't. β
Wei Wuxian said, "Why are you like this." If you don't finish speaking, you don't say anything?
Lan Wangji said: "'Every day'." β
Wei Wuxian touched his face and said pityingly, "Did your uncle scold you just now? β
The topic changed so bluntly and deliberately, Lan Wangji didn't break it, and said, "No." β
Wei Wuxian said, "If not, then what did he tell you?"
Lan Wangji hugged him quietly and said, "Nothing." It's not easy to get together, and tomorrow is a family dinner. β
Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "Family banquet, good, good, I will definitely show you well, I won't embarrass you." Suddenly thought of Lan Xichen and asked, "Where is your brother?"
After a moment of silence, Lan Wangji said, "I'll go see him later." β
Ze Wujun has been in retreat all day long, and Lan Wangji must have a long talk with him. Wei Wuxian put his backhand around Lan Wangji and patted him lightly on the back. After a while, he said again: "Speaking of which, why didn't you see Si chasing them when you came back this time?"
This group of juniors, if it was usual, would have been chattering around the mountain gate a long time ago. Hearing him mention chasing them, Lan Wangji's eyebrows were slightly relaxed, and he said, "I'll take you to meet them." β
When he took Wei Wuxian to find Lan Sichai, Lan Jingyi and the others, the group of juniors didn't do anything else except shout a few times with joy. It's not that I don't want to do more, but I can't.
More than a dozen people, brushing upside down under the verandah. Everyone took off their outer robes and wore snow-white light shirts, with their heads down and their feet up, and there were several pieces of white paper and ink on the ground in front of them. With his left hand on the ground and a pen in his right hand, he struggled to write dense black characters on the paper.
Because they could not let their foreheads fall to the ground, they were all sweating profusely and biting their tails, so they could not speak. The so-called "shouted a few times", but only whined with bright eyes.
Looking at these trembling and crumbling bodies, Wei Wuxian said, "Why do you have to do a handstand." β
Lan Wangji said: "Punished." β
Wei Wuxian said, "I know I'm being punished. I saw it, they copied the Lan family motto, and I will memorize the "Rules of Etiquette". What did they do and get punished?"
Lan Wangji said lightly: "I don't know where to go back to Yunshen beyond the specified period." β
Wei Wuxian: "Oh. β
Lan Wangji: "Walk with the ghost general for night hunting." β
Wei Wuxian: "Hey, you're so bold. β
Lan Wangji said: "The third offense." β
Wei Wuxian touched his chin, and if he said in his heart, he couldn't complain that he would punish them like this with hatred for Lan Qiren. It's just that handstand punishment is already easy.
Walking around in front of this group of teenagers, scanning a few glances, and checking a little, Lan Wangji said to one of them: "Word." Dishonourable. β
The young man bit his forehead and said vaguely with tears: "Yes." Hanguang-kun. I'll copy this one. β
The others who were not ordered just passed the inspection and breathed a sigh of relief. As the two of them left the corridor, Wei Wuxian recalled the difficult times when he was punished for copying, and felt sympathy, "It's hard enough to maintain this kind of movement, and I may not be able to write if you make me stand upside down." Even when I'm sitting, I don't necessarily write properly. β
Lan Wangji glanced at him and said, "That's true." β
Wei Wuxian knew that he also remembered the days when he stared at his own punishment, and said, "You were also punished like this when you were a child?"
Lan Wangji said: "Never." β
Think about it too. Wei Wuxian said in his heart, Lan Wangji has been a model among the children of the family since he was a child, and his words and deeds are as good as measuring with a ruler, how can he make mistakes?
He laughed, "I thought your terrifying arm strength was developed like this." β
Lan Wangji said: "No punishment." But that's how it was practiced. β
Wei Wuxian said curiously: "It's not that you're being punished, so why are you doing a handstand?"
Lan Wangji didn't squint and said, "You can meditate." β
Wei Wuxian leaned into his ear and said at the end of his words, "Then what is it that makes the cold Hanguang-jun's heart unquiet?"
Lan Wangji looked at him and didn't speak. Wei Wuxian was proud in his heart, and said, "According to what you say, you have been practicing your arm strength like this since you were a child, can you do anything upside down?"
Lan Wangji said: "Hmm." β
Seeing that he lowered his eyes, as if he had answered a little shyly, Wei Wuxian became more and more unobtrusive, and said, "Can I do it backwards?"
Lan Wangji said: "Try it." β
Wei Wuxian: "Hahahahahaha...... What do you say?"
Lan Wangji: "Try it tonight." β
Wei Wuxian: "......"
