Chapter 40: Bai Feiyun
There was nothing to do in the room all night, when the seven or eight monks and Taoists came out, they moved their hands and feet one by one, presumably those wooden chairs and wooden tables were not very comfortable to sleep on, and after chatting for a while in the inner courtyard, there were servants invited to dine, because there was indeed no vision in Mrs. Qing's room and kitchen last night, those Taoist monks couldn't help but be complacent, Xie Lan looked so boring, after breakfast, he found a time to confess, and left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When I got out, my own servant led me to the arranged room, and spent a night carefully checking the movements around him, and his spirit was slightly tired, and he was lying on the bed in his clothes, thinking about it, and wondering if the cold thing he felt last night was the so-called ghost, if so, why did it retreat again, could it be that there were really masters among those monks and Taoists, and this ghost was frightened, if this ghost knew it well, lurked, and waited for his people to go and then come out to harm people, then what should it be? I don't know what Mrs. Qing looks like, and what Mrs. Li looks like, but she must not be as good-looking as the little senior sister, Xie Lan touched the silk handkerchief hidden close to his chest, and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Bangbang, Bangbang." There was a rhythmic knock on the door outside Xie Lan's door, and then a voice came: "Is Brother Xie awake?" ”
Xie Lan replied while tidying up: "Brother Liu, later, it will be fine immediately." ”
When he opened the door, it was Liu Yingjie standing outside the door, and after a little look at the slightly happy face on his face, he stopped his eyes on a young man next to him, who was the same age as himself, under the bohemian black hair tied up by a white scarf, a delicate face was displayed in front of him, and the arrogant eyes looked at himself; The silver-white robe woven of fine silk was neatly wrapped around the waist by a white ribbon, and at the waist, there was a sword hanging, looking at the appearance of the scabbard, he knew that this sword was extraordinary, and the young man also looked at Xie Lan for a moment, stretched out the folding fan in his hand, and shook it twice, and shook the image of a beautiful son in Xie Lan's heart.
Xie Lan was puzzled: "Ask my brother Tai Daming?" I felt inappropriate when I asked what I said, and hurriedly said: "It's the little brother who is abrupt, the first time I saw Brother Tai, I was broken by Brother Tai's heroism, and I lost my courtesy, I hope Brother Tai forgives, little brother Xie Lan, there is a courtesy here." ”
The young man in white closed the folding fan and hugged his fist slightly, "It's okay, Brother Xie is polite, the younger brother Bai Feiyun has a reason with the master here, so I came to visit one or two, I heard Brother Liu talk about Brother Xie, I am full of praise for you, when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." ”
Liu Yingjie's face showed a look of surprise, it is rumored that the third son of the county garrison is both civil and military, and he thinks very highly of himself, today, how can he be so polite to Brother Xie, just ignore him, and said: "Seeing each other is fate, it happens that noon is approaching, how about I ask my subordinates to prepare some wine and food, how about a few drinks?" ”
"That's very good." That Bai Feiyun answered.
Xie Lan also chimed in: "There is Brother Lao Liu." ”
Liu Yingjie called his subordinates, made a simple arrangement, and then smiled at the two, "I have been the head of the nursing home in this Li Mansion for a few years, and I have taught me all the martial arts of the family here, so I have some privileges in this Li Mansion." ”
The movements of the people of the Li Mansion were very fast, and after half an hour's effort, a table of delicacies had been prepared, and on the pavilion in the back garden, the three of them chatted.
"I am a big brother for my brother, and I can drink with two virtuous brothers today, it is really a blessing for Liu, a civil and military **, and a courageous person, so that my brother is ashamed of himself, he is really a hero out of a young man, but fortunately he is very interesting for his brother and retired early. Here, a toast to today's meeting! ”
The two teenagers were not hypocritical, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Good wine." The two of them praised each other at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled, and the sweet wine flowed down their throats into their hearts, and at first they felt the coolness of the ice, and after a while, a kind of warmth soaked into the heart, which felt very wonderful.
"It made the two virtuous brothers laugh, Li Yuanwai is not good at drinking, but there are a lot of wine, there are six jars of spirits drunk for a thousand years yesterday but it was drunk by an old fairy, and now it is still in a dream, fortunately in the ice cellar hidden some excellent fruit wine, in this noon drink, just in the twilight summer heat, but also complement each other."
"Brother Liu bothered, but did the old fairy you said invite over again for the haunting of the Li Mansion?" Bai Feiyun smiled, and then said: "Regarding the theory of ghosts and gods, Bai doesn't believe it very much, I don't know what Brother Xie thinks about those Taoist monks catching ghosts?" ”
Xie Lan looked at Liu Yingjie's wry expression, then looked at Bai Feiyun's disapproving attitude, and pondered for a moment: "For monks and Taoists, I stayed outside last night, in my opinion, their performance does have the image of a lost world, for their ghost hunting, I think Brother Liu should be prepared early." ”
Turning his head to Bai Feiyun on the left, Xie Lanfu said again: "Regarding the talk of ghosts, I believe that the strange things in the Li Mansion these days will not be groundless, so I think it is better for me to be careful." ”
"Haha, what Brother Xie said is very true, but since Bai is here, he must get out of the water, come, drink and drink." After Bai Feiyun raised his wine glass, he drank it all.
Xie Lan and Liu Yingjie glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and took a cup.
Liu Yingjie continued: "Hehe, about the ghosts and gods, whether you believe it or not, I do have a personal experience, and now I still have lingering palpitations when I think about it, don't mention it, but I believe that the old fairy in the kitchen last night must be a strange person, and he said what I had experienced, and I saw through that I had a hidden illness at a glance, and the spirits of Li Zhai were drunk for a thousand years but they were genuine collections back then, he dared to drink six jars, let me ask Brother Bai, shouldn't he be a strange person?" ”
"Really? If he could wake up, I would take back what I had said. Bai Feiyun said seriously.
Xie Lan asked: "This drunken thousand-year-old name is good, is there a saying?" ”
Bai Feiyun said: "A drunken thousand years ago only brewed a hundred jars, because it is said to be a dream grass with hundreds of years of fire, this grass can be met but not obtained, used to make wine is really a tyrannical thing, but the wine brewed is not only mellow to strong, the taste is excellent, and the drinker can get a dream, but can not drink more, even if you drink a bowl, you will never wake up, although this is mostly exaggerated, but drunk for a long time, presumably hungry and starved to death." I was lucky enough to take a sip and sleep for three days and three nights, and I was a little scary when I thought about it, but the taste of the wine was really unforgettable. ”
Xie Lan continued: "Listening to what Brother Bai said, Xie really wants to have a drink. ”
"It's a pity that the six altars were drunk clean by the old fairy's incense, and the brother has never tasted it. Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, the wine was found by the old fairy himself, and I have been to the wine cellar of the Li Mansion many times, hey, I missed it. ”
The three of them sighed for a while, changed the topic, and continued to chat.
After the meal, Liu Yingjie had something to do, so he asked Xie Lan to accompany Bai Feiyun to walk around, which happened to follow Xie Lan's wishes, he was originally going to take a walk more, Dashizhen faced the river on one side, and the mountain on the other side, the two teenagers were in good spirits.
Back to Li's house in the evening, Xie Lan asked the next person for some kitchenware condiments, and carefully cooked the game he brought back, Bai Feiyun looked interesting, and also came to help, Liu Yingjie specially moved two jars of wine from the wine cellar, a table of meals was completed, the three of them drank for fun, talked under the moon, appreciated the elegance of the orchid, tasted the charm of green bamboo, sang the simplicity of daisies, and praised the nobility of lotus, Xie Lan was drunk, I didn't expect last night's regret to be paid tonight, squinting at the two friends, there was a feeling in my heart that I had never felt before, which could not be described in words, After being silent for a long time, he suddenly raised his glass and shouted, "Come, drink!" ”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed and scolded, and they were staggered again.
After a long time, Xie Lan's voice sounded in the silence: "Brother Liu has a lot of wine." ”
"Brother Xie is not bad." The two looked at Bai Feiyun, who was drunk, and laughed again.
"Continue tonight?" Liu Yingjie asked.
"Well, I really want to see what the hell is going on, as Brother Bai said before, since the investigation has to be investigated, and Li Yuanwai is a good person, then, a good person should have a good reward!" The last seven words, Xie Lan almost gritted his teeth and said them word by word.
"A good person should be rewarded? Hehe, good people don't live long, disasters are left for thousands of years, the world is unfair, the sky is unfair, how can we ordinary people compete? ”
Xie Lan was silent, and then said: "Then, if you encounter an injustice, I will take care of it." ”
"If you meet one, you will take care of one, I'm afraid that you won't be able to manage it. Brother Xie, I hope you will still remember this sentence many years later. Liu Yingjie picked up Bai Feiyun and walked towards the guest room, and a sentence came from afar: "Please thank Brother Xie tonight." ”
Xie Lan cleaned up his mood, went back to the room and sat for a while, saw that the time was coming, washed his face, and walked to the back house, just like last night, Xie Lan stayed at the door, not leaving an inch, but tonight was surprisingly quiet, Xie Lan looked at the cool moon in the dark night moving inch by inch, listening to the occasional dream cry in the room, and found nothing else, the cold thing last night has not appeared.
Early the next morning, Bai Feiyun ran over, looked at Xie Lan, who was slightly tired, and whispered: "Within three days, I will definitely solve this matter, Brother Xie, go back and rest early, I have ordered my subordinates to put the food in your room, and we will go out for a walk in the afternoon." ”
"Hmm." Xie Lan answered, and walked towards the guest room with a little frustration.
